Marquette’s Board of Trustees took the next step in the search for Marquette’s 24th president by announcing the members of the presidential search committee Oct. 3. In the coming months, this committee will conduct student forums, decide critical attributes for the president and select candidates to present to the Board of Trustees. Margaret Callahan, interim provost and dean of the College of Nursing, said she believes these individual voices will help select the best president to lead Marquette. “(The committee) comprises individuals who have considerable expertise in higher education, business and leadership, and I believe all of the members bring skills that will greatly enhance the selection of our new president,” Callahan said. “I am particularly pleased that for the first time in Marquette’s history, the search will include a dean and a faculty representative.” William Cullinan, dean of the College of Health Sciences, and See President, Page 4

The event, sponsored by Campus Ministry, the St. Robert Bellarmine Society, the Knights of Columbus and Students for Life, was the largest human rosary to take place in Marquette’s history. About 50 students joined in reciting the prayers of the rosary at the ceremony.
Committee chosen to seek replacement DPS chief

The Department of Public Safety formed its search committee to find a new director to replace former chief Larry Rickard, who retired Sept. 29 after 21 years of service. Art Scheuber, vice president for the Office of Administration, chairs the committee, which includes student, faculty and staff representatives. Capt. Russell Shaw will serve as interim director of DPS during the search, while Lt. Paul Mascari will act as interim
head of operations. “As far as hiring a new chief, I’d like to see someone with both a high level of education and previous experience in campus policing, who adheres to principles such as transparency, accountability, teamwork and professionalism,” Sgt. Jill Weisensel said. DPS officer Joseph Secanky said he wants more of the same when it comes to a leader of the department. “(I) would hope for a leader like our former chief, Larry Rickard, who cares about safety, quality, customer
service and professionalism,” Secanky said. Shaw and Mascari hold a combined 33 years of experience serving DPS and will work with more than 80 professional and 100 student staff members to lead the department. The university held a retirement celebration for Rickard Sept. 13. Before joining DPS and Jill Weisensel, eventually being DPS Seargent named chief in 2000, he served in the United States Army for 22 years. He said he plans to volunteer during his retirement in keeping with “Marquette’s mission to serve others.”

News in Brief ‘77 Champion Rosenberger dies
ADVERTISING
Gary Rosenberger, a member of the 1977 national championshipwinning Marquette men’s basketball team, died Monday morning from complications stemming from a prior heart attack and stroke. He was 57. Rosenberger played in all 32 games during Marquette’s signature season, which was his junior year. He averaged a career-high 7.6 points per game that season. “We are sad to announce that Gary Rosenberger passed away early this morning due to complications from a heart attack and stroke he suffered on Tuesday, October 1,” Rosenberger’s family said in a statement Monday. “He was surrounded by his wife, Darlene, and family when he passed.” Rosenberger played four seasons for Marquette. He also attended Marquette University High School and was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the ninth round of the 1978 NBA Draft. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary’s family during this difficult time,” deputy athletic director Mike Broeker said Monday. “Gary obviously played a critical role during the team’s run to the national title in 1977, but his contributions to the university continued well after his graduation. It’s always tough to lose a former player, especially one who has passed away well before his time.” Plans for a memorial service in both Milwaukee and Orlando are in the works, but dates, times and locations are to be determined.

Govt. shutdown battle continues President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats advanced legislation Monday that would raise the government’s federal debt ceiling, the Washington Post reported. The latest move by Democrats indicates the focus in the fiscal debate shifting to avoiding a historic default on federal debt obligations. The Treasury said the debt ceiling would have to be raised this month to avoid the default. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner told the Wall Street Journal the Speaker would be willing to support a bill with a temporary rise in the debt ceiling if accompanied with substantial spending cuts and reforms. Motions for a raise in the debt ceiling came seven days after Congress failed to pass a resolution to fund federal agencies, resulting in a government shutdown. Boehner argued there are not enough votes in the House to pass a bill that would fund the government, according to the Washington Post.
New $100 bill to enter circulation Freshly printed $100 bills will be getting a new look Tuesday. While Benjamin Franklin will remain on the bill, his image will now be joined by a series of new security features designed to help prevent counterfeiting. The new, blue $100 bill features raised printing and a distinctive texture, with new holograms and watermarks of the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bill and a pen quill completing the banknote. The $100 bill is the latest in a series of redesigned banknotes to enter circulation. The current series began with the redesign of the $20 bill, which was released in 2003. Over the next 10 years, the $50, $10 and $5 bills were also redesigned, each new iteration more colorful and designed with more security features than its predecessor.
In the same article, the Tribune stated that during the university’s last accreditation in 2004, the Higher Learning Commission required a focus visit in 2009 to observe diversity on campus. The 2009 focus visit, however, focused on six shortcomings identified by the Higher Learning Commission in 2004 relating to Marquette’s assessment,
according to the self-study. The commission did suggest that the university allocate further resources to demonstrate its commitment to diversity in the 2004 visit. In the Sept. 10 issue of the Tribune, the article titled “MUSG briefed on university reaccreditation plan,” named Gary Meyer as “vice president for undergraduate programs and teaching.” Meyer is, in fact, the vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching. The article also said that the HLC evaluation team was to visit Marquette from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. The team actually visited from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. The Tribune regrets these errors.

2013 accreditation site visit concludes Wednesday Higher Learning Commission to file report in November By Joe Kvartunas
joseph.kvartunas@marquette.edu
The site visit team from the Higher Learning Commission, a commission member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, concluded its trip to Marquette Wednesday, a major step in the reaffirmation of accreditation for the university. Now that the site visit is complete, the HLC team will file a preliminary report. The report is expected in November, according to Gary Meyer, vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching, and Toby Peters, senior associate vice president in the Office of the Senior Vice President, who are chair and co-chair of the university’s Reaffirmation of Accreditation Initiative, respectively. The university will get the opportunity to check the report for errors and omissions before it is finalized and sent to the HLC. Meyer and Peters said they hope to have the final report and the decision by March. The university leaders in charge of the reaffirmation of accreditation
effort were unable to speak ahead of the Tribune story on accreditation that ran Thursday, but sat down Friday to discuss accreditation and the issues surrounding it. A large part of their efforts over the last two years is the compilation of a self-study report that, as Meyer explained, details Marquette’s mission as a Catholic, Jesuit institution. “Our story is — and we shape it every day — who do we want to be known as outside of the confines of our community?” Meyer said. The self-study report outlined the strengths and weaknesses of Marquette, as interpreted by the more than 200 faculty, staff and students who contributed to the self-assessment. When the university was last accredited in 2004, the HLC identified assessment as a particular challenge for Marquette, a weakness the HLC deemed as corrected after its focus visit in 2009. The report highlighted the university’s mission as one its strengths. Mission is the first criteria for accreditation identified by the HLC. The commission wants a school’s mission to be clear, stated publicly and at the forefront of its day-to-day function. Meyer and Peters both said this is Marquette’s strong suit. “All universities have missions to educate students,” Meyer said. “But
we feel like we do that in a certain way. It’s that education in a special way that differentiates us from other universities.” According to Meyer, one of the biggest challenges identified by the Reaffirmation of Accreditation Initiative is managing the university’s budget around the themes of the strategic plan, first presented by University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz in August 2012. “We are tuition driven, meaning that over 60 percent of our revenue comes from tuition,” Peters said. “And yet, we’re not going to raise tuition to where it is beyond the reach of our students to come to Marquette.” Meyer and Peters also noted leadership at Marquette as a potential strength, even though the university is in a period of transition after both the provost and the president stepped down in recent months. A member of the site visit team, Richard Redner from the University of Tulsa, said last week that he wanted to see how the university would handle the transition. Meyer said Marquette still has stable leadership despite there being no permanent president or provost. “We feel like, while it’s always a challenge in transition, we have a very experienced leadership team,” Meyer said. “And I think they saw that.”

Volunteer program celebrates 25th anniversary over weekend Midnight Run starts off event with annual Miles for Meals 5K By Andrew Dawson
andrew.dawson@marquette.edu
Midnight Run, a Marquette volunteer service program focused on preventing hunger and homelessness, celebrated its 25th anniversary this weekend with activities during the university’s Family Weekend. Midnight Run sponsors meals, tutoring and clothing distribution at 10 service sites around Milwaukee six days a week. The celebrations started Friday afternoon when hundreds of students and community members gathered for the annual Miles for Meals 5-kilometer run, which raises money to fund Midnight Run’s programs. Midnight Run is funded solely by donations and other fundraisers. Saturday’s events opened with a special Saturday edition of Noon Run, one of the first sites for Midnight Run. Noon Run takes place at Redeemer
Lutheran Church, across from Mashuda Hall, Sunday through Friday during the academic year. Student volunteers at Noon Run make and serve food, as well as eat with neighborhood guests. “It isn’t the food,” said Tim Flanagan, a longtime Noon Run volunteer. “It’s the people, and I want to thank all the people who have helped me along the way.” Noon Run was followed by Mass at Gesu Church and the celebration ended with an anniversary banquet attended by students, faculty and alumni. Sarah Thiry, a co-coordinator of Midnight Run and senior in the College of Nursing, said she had some conflicting thoughts about celebrating Midnight Run’s anniversary, but she is glad the program is around to help those in need. “Do you celebrate 25 years of having to serve the homeless and help those in poverty because in a perfect world, we wouldn’t be around,” Thiry said. “We’ve been doing this for 25 years, and it’s been great, and it’s transformed a number of lives.” Other co-coordinators said Midnight Run changed
their own lives. “My experience as a whole at Midnight Run has taught me to be grateful for the relationships and the community and also the people I’ve met in the different communities,” said Jena Wallander, a senior in the College of Nursing and a Midnight Run co-coordinator. “It’s been a lot about breaking down barriers that exist between Marquette students and the Milwaukee community,” said Mary Asma, a junior in the College of Health Sciences and Midnight Run co-coordinator. Joe Cayan, a 1990 graduate, is one of Midnight Run’s founders. He said he is proud of where the program is and hopes it continues to grow. “It’s amazing,” Cayan said. “I was here for the 15th anniversary and then the 20th and now the 25th, and it keeps growing and keeps chugging along.” “It’s amazing that these students carrying it on and its much more organized,” he continued, “and now they’re getting the better history of what they’re doing and tracking the impact they’re making, and it’s great.”

Students stretch before taking part in the Miles for Meals 5K Friday.
The program started in 1988 after Marquette students attended the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homeless Conference and returned to campus with the idea. Students saw the need for a program in Milwaukee that dealt with hunger and homelessness, and Midnight Run was born. Students started out by driving around in a van in the evenings handing out blankets, while the program had only about 20 members. The program now has 10 different sites, some of which are student operated, and about 100-
150 members a semester. “The true strength of this program is that it started with the passion of students, and it’s passed on from students to students,” said Gerry Fischer, the faculty coordinator of Midnight Run and associate director of Campus Ministry. “It really is the concrete example of student passion for compassion for others. It’s a marvelous thing to be a part of.” Cayan said he hopes to see the program celebrate 25 more years. “I’m really happy that it’s growing,” Cayan said. “Keep it going.”
Official data reveals increase in international student numbers China, Canada contribute most to MU freshman class By Kelly Meyerhofer
kelly.meyerhofer@marquette.edu
The Office of Institutional Research and Analysis released official data Oct. 4 on the Class of 2017, which reveals that 71 of this year’s freshmen hail from outside the U.S., a 44 percent increase from international students in the class of 2016. Of the 71 international students, the two most popular countries contributing students to Marquette are China, with 52, and Canada, with five. Michael Groen, assistant director of the Office of International Education, used preliminary data to estimate a five percent increase in total international enrollment this year, up to 610 students from 582 in 2012. He also estimated representation from 35 countries. In the past five years, the international student presence rose approximately 165 percent. In 2009, only 27 incoming freshman were international
students. The number more than doubled to 60 in 2011. Groen says there are many factors contributing to the spike in international diversity. Obtaining an undergraduate visa is now easier because of a change in immigration policy. Marquette’s financial aid office has also made more meritbased scholarships, such as the Magis scholarship, available to international students. For the rapid increase in students from China, Groen cited “long emerging demographic changes.” The county’s one-child policy has forced parents to “place all of their eggs in one basket,” according to Daniel Meissner, an associate history professor knowledgeable in Chinese culture. China’s booming economy, especially in the past five years, has allowed many parents to afford sending their child abroad to study. These circumstances, combined with the perception of America having the world’s best higher education system, may explain the large number of Chinese students on campus. The OIE, however, is

aiming for a global presence on campus, not just a Chinese presence. Groen recently returned from a 15-day trip that spanned seven countries. Many of the countries were in the Middle East, where a strong alumni base and governmental access to full scholarships has made
studying abroad attractive. “We (in the OIE) really try to connect alumni with prospective students,” Groen said. “The students, and their parents, perk up when they hear of a Marquette-educated electrical engineer in Riyadh, Morocco.” Though Groen is back on American soil, he is still at
work on international recruiting. Webinars and virtual college fairs are just a few of the tactics used to woo students to Milwaukee. “International students are convinced America has the best colleges,” Groen said. “But my job is to convince them about Marquette.”

President: Faculty included on board for first time in MU history Patricia Cervenka, director of the Law Library and professor of law, are the first faculty members to sit on the presidential search committee in Marquette’s history. “These academic voices, coupled with the strong academic roots of committee members Dr. Janis Orlowski, Dr. Arnold Mitchem and Father O’Keefe, will help ensure our next president continues
Marquette’s tradition of academic excellence,” Callahan said. Two weeks ago, the Board chose John Ferraro, vice chair of the Board of Trustees and global chief operating officer at Ernst & Young, to lead the presidential search committee. “The opportunity to help choose Marquette’s 24th president is a historic and exciting honor,” Ferraro said. “We are committed to
ensuring this search process is inclusive and representative of the perspectives of our faculty, staff, students and alumni, which will ensure we choose the best candidate to lead Marquette forward.” Similar to previous years, the search committee will gather feedback from the entire Marquette community during the coming months to determine the leadership attribute
of the next president. “I think everyone can agree that we are looking for a president that will provide a strong vision of Marquette for the years to come, and one who can bring the right people to the table to make sure our mission continues to be a differentiator for Marquette among our higher education peers,” Callahan said. The other members of the search
committee include Trustees: Patrick Lawton, Arnold Mitchem, the Rev. Joseph O’Keefe, Janis Orlowski and Owen Sullivan. A permanent president is expected to be in place for the 2014-15 academic year. The Rev. Robert A. Wild, will lead the university as interim president until August 2014, the university announced two weeks ago.

Students on campus hop on national home brewing trend By Brian Keogh
brian.keogh@marquette.edu
The typical image of a college beer is something cheap meant to be chugged via keg stand or beer bong. But in recent years a growing number of fraternity houses and college apartments have become their own microbreweries, taking the time to caringly craft specialty beers at home. Ryan Knott, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, has brewed with his friends just off Marquette’s campus since leaving the dorms his junior year. “Everyone is always busy but there’s always enough time to take a few hours with friends to start a new batch,” Knott said. Knott still recalls the first time he tasted the results of his own brew. “Right then it made so much sense why people brew their own beer: it’s relatively cheap — after you’ve invested in the equipment, your beer ends up costing about 50 cents a bottle — it tastes great, you can choose to brew exactly what you like to drink and it’s tons of fun to make with friends,” Knott said. For Knott, one of the best benefits of home brewing is getting to name your creation. “The names we give to our beers are fun to think up, too; our first batch was ‘Knotty Nut Brown Ale,’” Knott said. “Others were ‘Sacred Heart Irish Red Ale’ and ‘Oberammergauer

Bayerische Hefeweizen.’” The first steps to get into home brewing can seem daunting, but just eight miles from Marquette’s campus, Northern Brewer, is the new brewer’s best friend. “College is usually when people start (home brewing),” said Molly Noyce, a Northern Brewer sales associate. “If you’re interested in beer it’s the best way to get to know about it. It also helps you taste beer a lot better.” The West Allis brewing supply store provides everything necessary for crafting your own beer, mead, and wine and hosts regular events for brewers. The store holds introduction lessons for the uninitiated, brewing seminars and small competitions. Some recent classes include kegging, “going all grain” and an introduction to wine and

mead making. The store also sells starter kits ranging from about $50 to $150 depending on batch size and features. “We have everything from one gallon starter kits to 50 gallon fermenters,” Noyce said. Most kits include a fermenter, siphon, bottling supplies, detailed instructions on how to brew and a recipe kit for the shop’s Caribou Slobber Brown, Irish Red Ale or American Wheat Beer. Buying the equipment is a barrier to entry for many college kids, but many find it pays off in the long run when they can enjoy a cheaper drink and experiment with different flavors and recipes. Zachary Meyer, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, used to help his father home brew in their basement and continues to brew on campus with friends. “While (home brewing) can be a bit expensive to start since you need to buy all the necessary materials, eventually the cost comes down,” Meyer said. “You not only have a fun hobby you can enjoy with others, but you also don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy a quality beer.” Right now, Meyer is brewing a pumpkin ale for fall and a White House Porter Ale, in honor of election season in November when the batch will be ready to drink. The ale is inspired by a home brew made by White House staff for the president. Claiming to be the first alcohol distilled at the White House, the beer used honey tapped from a bee-hive on the South Lawn. The brew was crafted to celebrate the beers created by founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson and the growing number of
Home brewing equipment including a kettle, a carboy and a catalogue.
American home brewers around the country. This trend has come to college campuses more recently with schools, including the University of Wisconsin–Madison, starting home brewing clubs for students. “(A brewing club) would be a great way to share advice with fellow brewers, and would give everyone a chance to try a broad range of beers,” Meyer said. “It could also help with some of the costs as members could share some of the materials as you often only use them about once a month or less. Considering we live in a city known for brewing beer, it only seems right to have a group for people to share their hobby of home brewing.” John Hammetter, a professor of anthropology at Marquette, preempted the trend starting to brew at home in 1996. Hammetter has even grown his own hops in his backyard to get the German style beer he loves. “In the Air Force stationed in Germany, I got to know what good beer really tasted like,” Hammetter
said. “When I got home I decided American beer tasted like pisswater and home brews and sometimes microbrews are the only way to get good beer.” Getting that good beer you want isn’t easy, however. It typically takes a day of work and undergoes a six-week fermenting process. “If you start at 9 a.m. in the morning, you’ll be busy until 5 p.m. in the afternoon,” Hammetter said. “I recommend you have a big kitchen and a lot of time.” Though the process may take time, home brewers around Marquette are spreading the word about the hobby. “What I like about home brewing is the sense of achievement you get from making something enjoyable from scratch,” Meyer said. “It is a very laid back process that only takes a few hours on a weekend afternoon and when you’re all done you have a product that you can put your name on and enjoy with friends.”

‘Gravity’ reaches new heights in visual filmmaking Bullock, Clooney star in space thriller that shines on IMAX By Brian Keogh
brian.keogh@marquette.edu
Director Alfonso Cuarón’s first feature since 2006’s “Children of Men” is stunning to behold. “Gravity” is a movie that is so well shot at times it seems like the finest documentary footage you’ve ever seen. In space, new astronaut Ryan Stone, played by Sandra Bullock, works on the Hubble telescope alongside Mike Kowalski, played by George Clooney. Kowalski is on his last mission and zips around testing equipment for NASA with typical Clooney charm entertaining ground control, a familiar Ed Harris from “Apollo 13” who apparently never left the NASA control room. Kowalski jinxes the whole thing by repeatedly telling mission control “Houston, I have a bad feeling about this mission.” It, of course, turns out all too true. Debris from a Russian satellite whips around the Earth’s orbit destroying everything in its
path catching the astronauts on a space walk. Quickly the film becomes a struggle for survival in the most unforgiving environment humankind has known. The film is a visual spectacle earning praise from James Cameron, the director who last set the CGI bar with “Avatar.” Cuarón’s picture required new technology to create the realistic marvel that shines on the big screen. An amazing single take shot lasting more than 13 minutes opens the film bringing the small shuttle and its crew into view over Earth. And it’s a breathtaking view. As the astronauts pause to appreciate the Earth, its surface appears peaceful, the same way space looks from the ground. For all its atmosphere, “Gravity” has problems. The dialogue and plot, written by Cuarón and his son Jonás, rely on tried and true contrivances. The characters are as predictable as their dialogue. Kowalski is a cheeky veteran that Clooney plays charmingly, but his continued nonchalance as the disaster unfolds is a bit off-putting. The deeper psychological battle occurs in Stone who has suffered a trauma back home in Lake Zurich, Ill. For all the awe inspiring visuals and action going on around the words, the dialogue between the Stone and

Kowalski remains flat. But, much like Avatar, the star in “Gravity” is the breathtaking visuals. Stone’s story becomes more of a visual journey, making the dialogue superfluous as the thriller turns into one of rebirth with incredibly effective spectacle. The film is great despite its faults, in that it’s not really about the dialogue. A silent film with music but the same visual content would conceivably been just as good, if not better. In fact, its soundtrack was the film’s other strength, pulling
MAM celebrates portraiture MKE Art Museum displays first Thomas Sully show in 30 years By Hannah Byron Special to the Tribune
Thomas Sully immortalized American figures like Andrew Jackson and George Washington, but is also known for painting imaginative and romantic scenes of women in classic American style. “Thomas Sully: Painted Performance” at the Milwaukee Art Museum is the first examination and retrospective of the painter in 30 years. The collection will delve deeper into Sully’s career. With almost 80 paintings from collections across the U.S. and Great Britain, the museum hopes to celebrate the romantic and imaginative nature of Sully’s art in the exhibit, which will run from Friday until Jan. 5, 2014. Sully was one of 19th-century America’s most prolific and gifted artists. Born in 1783, Sully was raised in a theatrical family. His parents, Mathew and Sarah Chester Sully, were actors and Thomas Sully and his siblings would sometimes perform alongside them. It was this theatrical environment that lead Sully to employ theatre, literature and fantasy throughout his artwork. “Sully primarily worked in portraiture, which is a very human type of art,” said William Rudolph, the curator of the
exhibition in an email. “It’s all about people and how they want to be seen, which is still important to us today, even if the types of portraits we make use different media.” Thomas Sully was known for his ability to bring his subjects to life through paint. Sully painted historical figures such as Revolutionary War hero Marquis de Lafayette, President Andrew Jackson and the young Queen Victoria. Sully also painted portraits of popular characters in literature and theatre, as in one of Sully’s most famous portraits, “Cinderella at the Kitchen Fire.” During Sully’s long career of 70 years, he painted more than 2,300 paintings. Paintings, which according to Rudolph, have been neglected by the modern critics and public. “Although Thomas Sully was incredibly popular in his day and is a major nineteenthcentury American artist, he has had very little critical attention in modern times,” Rudolph said. “This made it seem he should have been the subject of a new look.” Sully’s work will be presented thematically in four stages. The first stage is the “theatrical portraits,” depicting actors in performance followed by the “traditional portraits” shaped by the artist’s theatrical and literary past. Stage three features the “fancy portraits,” portraits derived more from an artist’s mood or imagination than a real likeness. Next, the “fancy pictures,” narrative art, based off both literary
and artistic sources that often include social commentary, will conclude the show. “Sully had a great way of putting paint on canvas. He had a splashy technique and a very delicate way with color,” Rudolph wrote. “He also gave his subjects an energy and sense of movement that was different from many of his peers.” Almost 200 years later, Thomas Sully’s creations are still cherished. He represents a significant chapter in American art the Milwuakee Art Musuem has taken to reopen and share.
all the right strings and adding a dimension that excites, calms and inspires. Still, Cuarón created something beautiful to behold and wonder at as the astronauts face the joys and perils of being in zero-g. In 3-D IMAX Stone’s protective space suit becomes absolutely claustrophobic to both the character and a breathless audience as she runs out of oxygen. The spacecraft becomes a prison that paradoxically traps and protects her from the emptiness of space, leaving the
audience in awe. This reminds you what IMAX was made for. If you’re going to see this movie, see it while it’s in theaters. Settling for anything less will lessen the experience and spectacle. Outside the theater, without the big screen and state of the art sound system, the movie might just fall back to Earth. Yet within the powerful scope of an IMAX theater with its towering screen and sound, reaches new heights of visual beauty in film.

Students should have larger voice in presidential search student input
presidential search
Illustration by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu
Our view: Faculty have been included for the first time in the search for a university president. Students too, should be given a more inclusive role in the search. The university administration announced the search committee for the 24th president of Marquette Thursday. Eight individuals will make up the Presidential Search Committee. Six of the individuals come from the Board of Trustees while one is the dean of the College of Health Sciences and one is a professor. Yet, students are conspicuously absent from the search committee. Though students are excluded, including standing faculty members on the search committee for the first time ever is a step in the right direction for Marquette, and the administration should be recognized for doing so. As the leader of the university, the president serves not only in a fundraising capacity, but also as a leader and administrator for faculty and staff on campus; therefore, it is surprising that it has taken this long for faculty to be included in the decision making process. However, the lack of a permanent student voice on the committee adds to the long list of incidents where students have been slighted by a tight-lipped, close-minded administration. Over the past weeks, the administration demonstrated how little it values transparency and student input. From the vagueness of why FemSex did not measure up to university values to the original email explaining the resignation of University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz, the administration repeatedly did not seek student input. This lack of student input is concerning and should not become a trend. “The search committee will be working closely with university leadership to ensure there is an inclusive process for hearing from all of the university’s constituencies, including faculty, staff, students and alumni,” the University News Brief that announced the members of the presidential search committee stated. According to a Tribune article in 2010, the presidential search committee that would eventually hire outgoing Pilarz hosted four open forums for students,
parents, alumni, faculty, administrators and staff to voice their opinions on what they would like to see in the future president. People were also able to submit comments through an online form. During the 2010 search, Marquette University Student Government unanimously passed a recommendation calling on the Board of Trustees to include a permanent student representative on the search committee. The legislation was authored by then MUSG President Meghan Ladwig and Executive Vice President Joey Ciccone. “This is an important time for the student voice to be heard,” Ladwig said in a 2010 interview with the Tribune. “We acknowledge that the student groups have been heard, but we feel a student needs to be in those rooms and meetings as a part of the discussion.” Yet, the university never took action on the recommendation, and the search went forward without ongoing student input. Over the summer, 10 student representatives met with representatives from Isaacson, Miller, the executive search firm that will conduct the search for a new president and has been conducting the search for a new provost as well as the search for a new dean for the College of Business Administration. The meeting lasted just over an hour and students were asked what qualities they want to see in a new provost and told that these responses, along with others, would then be made into an “Opportunity and Challenge Profile” for the provost position. This type of student input, while important, is not comprehensive enough. There should be a student representative from MUSG on the presidential search committee, or, at the very least, a student committee that is regularly updated and consulted on the search progress. Furthermore, this committee should be given the chance to interview perspective candidates for president. After all, the university exists to serve students who contribute 62 percent of the funds for the school to function, therefore students should have significant input as to who will lead the university. To continue the search for a replacement for Pilarz without permanent and meaningful student representation would be a disservice both to students and the university as a whole.

Google’s Android stands to overtake Apple
Eric Oliver There are two type of people, those who love Apple products and everyone else. I fall into the first group. I’ve waited around until midnight to be one of the first to get my hands on a moderate upgrade to my current phone. I’ve had a few iPods. My MacBook Pro is in need of a memory upgrade and a new battery because of how long I’ve had it. I even have an iPad, which, I must admit, has very little purpose except as something for me to read with. I love Apple, and I don’t think that’ll change anytime soon. But Apple is at a serious crossroads. Its cutting edge iPhones have dulled and it releases the same rectangle every year with only a few small tweaks
to make it “the best thing yet.” I’m not one of the people who feels the innovation died when Steve Jobs passed on, but I believe that the iPhone is losing its competitive edge. The newest iPhones, the 5S and 5C, are interesting examples of Apple’s current state. The 5S is insanely popular at $199 for a 16GB model. If you want a color other than space gray AKA black, you’ll be hard pressed to find one. The demand is high for silver and gold, yet they were also in the lowest supply in the initial launch. The launch of the 5S boosted sales, but the restocking period between the launch and the next shipment of phones coming out has been slow to nonexistent. This is a huge problem, especially if you told your girlfriend you would find her one. The 5C has not encountered the same success. People have joked that the “C,” which stands for “color,” actually stands for cheap. The $99 16GB iPhone model is a cheap alternative. The big problem here is the 5C wasn’t created for a luxury market, it was created for Asia and the emerging market overseas. There is very little demand for a cheap iPhone in the United States. The market is already flooded with older models that stores are selling for less than the 5C
(some as low as a dollar), and because the 5C doesn’t feature as many upgrades as the 5S, people can’t justify spending the $99 for it. In fact, the 5C is such a downgrade that some stores have already started selling it for $50, such as Best Buy which offers a $50 gift card that can be used on the purchase of the iPhone 5C. Yet, Apple’s problems persist because the 5C, despite being cheaper than the 5S, is still too expensive for many Asian consumers. It has become such a problem that stock in Apple has once again taken a plunge and it doesn’t look like it will recover anytime soon. Many investors think that Apple has run its course. It has good products, yes, but lacks the edge it used to hold. Google, on the other hand, is innovating at an incredibly impressive pace. The iPhone is no longer the standard for which other phones are measured; the playing field has been leveled with no clear front-runner. There are a few phones out there that are certainly impressive. The Samsung Galaxy series has superfluous gimmicks that consumers find exciting, and those features could make smartphone competition interesting for the foreseeable future. Google’s Android, Apple’s clear
software competitor, has become superior in some aspects, but lacks a physical mobile device to overthrow the iPhone. The iPhone started the smartphone era, but it desperately needs an update. The same little black or white rectangle will not keep leading the market if it doesn’t innovate year after year. iOS, the Apple mobile software, is falling behind. The redesign done by Jonathan Ive, the senior vice president of design at Apple, is wanting and incredibly buggy. Furthermore, the software rapidly drains older iPhone models’ batteries. The lack of software customization, a problem the iPhone has had since it was first introduced, is quickly becoming the downfall of a great software system. Meanwhile, Android continues to allow consumers to customize their phones. The future of smartphones is quickly changing. In the near future, Apple may no longer be the leader of the smartphone revolution as it quickly falls behind. Meanwhile, Google seems to be unstoppable, so get ready to buy all your apps for a second time when you switch over to Android.

Men get past Villanova in OT
Nortey scores golden goal 5 minutes into extra frame in 1-0 win By Andrew Dawson
andrew.dawson@marquette.edu
In the 95th minute of the Marquette men’s soccer game against Villanova, freshman midfielder Louis Bennett II passed the ball to redshirt sophomore C. Nortey, who charged the opposing keeper, Andrew Weakly. With a small angle, Nortey slid a shot to the near post that snuck in for the overtime game-winning goal. Nortey’s golden goal came in the first overtime period against Villanova Saturday. The goal is his second game-winner of the year and fourth of his career. He leads the team in game-winning shots and has the most goals, five, on the team this season. Marquette only faced the Wildcats once before Saturday, back in 2007 when Marquette fell 1-0. The tables turned this time and Marquette stole the win in overtime. Saturday was the fifth straight match in which Marquette was involved in a shutout. It has been on both sides of the clean sheet, losing to Michigan State and Wisconsin-Madison, and defeating Loyola-Chicago, Xavier and Villanova in the five-game stretch. Coach Louis Bennett said close games are stressful, but they speak to the quality of opponents the team has on its schedule and his squad’s style of play. “We’re playing some good teams, we’re playing some very good teams,” Bennett said. “There’s an aesthetic quality to what we’re doing but the yin and the yang are it’s not a beauty competition and we have to get wins. Our team is working very hard to get that balance.” Offensively, the team’s many shot attempts haven’t turned into goals. They posted 20 shots

in regulation Saturday yet was unable to convert. Bennett said he believes low scoring is part of the game and is happy with the opportunities the squad is creating. “If we were not making chances I would be a little bit more concerned,” Bennett said. “In our sport it’s sometimes rare to score more than two or three goals, so anytime you can do that, they say that could be looked at as a luxury having that much gap between the first goal and the second.” After neither side found the back of the net in regulation, the game headed to overtime and four minutes in, Nortey put the game away with a goal. In the shutout, the defense blocked a season high of 17 shots with seven being on frame. Redshirt junior goal-
keeper Charlie Lyon was the busiest he’s been all season in goal, making seven saves in the game. He recorded his fifth clean sheet of the season. “I was a little bit busier than I had been in previous games,” Lyon said. “As a goalkeeper, you enjoy those games because you’re able to make these saves and you feel really good about your performance. But at the same time that’s what I’m there for, so I was glad I was able to participate and contribute.” Marquette will need to fire on all cylinders this week as its toughest opponents are on deck with No. 16 Butler Wednesday and No. 4 Creighton Saturday. After three games away, both games this week will take place at Valley Fields, which opens its new stands Wednesday night.

Hockey notch pair of overtime victories in Peoria Schwichtenberg, Nader provide late heroics in game 2 By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
With less than a minute left in Saturday’s game against Robert Morris-Peoria, the Marquette club hockey team was down 5-3. Mike Walker of RMU crosschecked center Dominic Zanfardino to the ice, Zanfardino got back up and the two started chirping at each other. They then exchanged a couple of punches, resulting in a five-minute major for fighting, a two-minute minor penalty for
roughing and a game misconduct. During the resulting four-onfour, Sam Nader ripped a shot from the point that found the back of the net and with the goalie pulled, Tyler Schwichtenberg scored to send it into overtime. In the extra period, Schwichtenberg scored once again to give the Golden Eagles a 6-5 win. “I was pretty upset there was no initial call and I didn’t feel the scrap warranted a game misconduct,” Zanfardino said. “But we quickly score two goals and the momentum swung in our favor and I knew our team would win in overtime. It’s wins like these that jump start great seasons.” Marquette defeated the RMU Eagles 4-3 Friday night in a shootout and 6-5 in overtime on
Saturday. The wins extend the Golden Eagles’ winning streak to five games, three of them coming on the road. Friday saw the Golden Eagles battling another third period deficit. Ryan Zanon scored the team’s first goal in the second period to tie the game at one, but the Eagles scored two unanswered. The lead stuck until five minutes left in the game, when Zanfardino scored to cut the deficit to one. Schwichtenberg forced overtime when he scored with two minutes left, and both goalies held strong, making shootouts the deciding factor. Marquette goaltender Nick Foley stopped all three attempts by RMU, while Nader scored the lone shootout goal to give Marquette the victory 4-3. Foley
stopped 18 of RMU’s 21 shots, while Marquette fired 44 shots on goal. In its last five games, Marquette has outshot its opponents by a 2-to-1 ratio. “I think that says a lot about our offense,” Zanfardino said. “All four lines can maintain pressure and generate scoring chances. Our defense doesn’t give up much shots. These two things lead to success.” In Saturday’s game, Marquette continued to get production from freshman Corey Quinn. Quinn opened the game with two goals to give Marquette the 2-0 lead. RMU fought back and rattled off four goals before Marquette answered. Will Podewils scored early in the third to get Marquette within one before RMU scored to
push the lead to 5-3. “Our team never gives up and fights to win all the games,” Schwichtenberg said. “It’s good to know how much the team cares and will do anything to win the game. We have a lot of confidence because we came back twice last week and our team knows that if we don’t give up, there is always a chance that we can win if we find ourselves down late in games.” Marquette brings its five-game winning streak home against Northwestern this weekend. The Northwestern series opens up an eight game home stand lasting through Nov. 8. The Golden Eagles will face the Wildcats Friday at 7:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

Volleyball bests Hoyas, ‘Nova Golden Eagles improve to 3-0 on the road in new Big East By Patrick Leary
patrick.leary@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s volleyball team jumped out to a 3-0 start in the Big East with two road wins over the weekend. It defeated Georgetown in three sets (25-14, 25-20, 25-21) Friday and knocked off Villanova in four sets (22-25, 25-22, 25-20, 25-14) Saturday. “It’s kind of cool to be at the top right out of the gate,” senior libero Julie Jeziorowski said. “It puts us in a really good position, so we’re excited about that.” Granted, Villanova and Georgetown are probably the two worst teams in the new, nine-team Big East. However, that didn’t keep coach Bond Shymansky from finding value in the two victories. “Winning on the road early in conference is going to be important for us as the season goes on,” Shymansky said. “For our young group of hitters, it’s important that they respond to tough situations in moments when we might be a little flat.” Shymansky must have been proud of those young offensive players, because several of them had extremely solid weekends. Against Georgetown, the
team combined to hit .410, and Autumn Bailey (12 kills), Meghan Niemann (eight kills, .538 hitting percentage) and Jackie Kocken (six kills, .667 hitting percentage) powered the Marquette attack. In the match versus Villanova, Nele Barber bounced back from a killess Friday to hit double-digits with 10 kills and Bailey notched yet another double-double with 15 kills and 11 digs. The weekend challenged the Golden Eagles because of the way the matches were scheduled. The Georgetown match started at 8 p.m. Friday. After the sweep, the team hopped on a bus and arrived in Philadelphia at 1 a.m. They got some sleep and woke up the next morning, briefly prepared and then played Villanova at 7 p.m. “The whole trip in general was long, but the games were short,” Jeziorowski said. “We’re really good at preparing quickly. Bond’s really good at finding time to prepare us quickly yet get the right rest in.” Still, it stands to reason that Marquette may have dropped the first set against the Wildcats because of the quick turnaround. Jeziorowski refuted that, saying that Villanova forced the Golden Eagles out of system. “Villanova is just a really strong serving team,” she said. “It kind of got us off of our feet because our bread and butter is when we’re in system, we’re a
really terminal team. If we can’t do that, we can’t play our offense.” Shymansky attributed the early struggles in Philadelphia to the conditions inside the Jake Nevin Field House. “It was an absolute sweatbox in their gym,” Shymansky said. “It had to be 90 degrees in there and humid as all get out. We were really struggling that first set.” He said the momentum of the match shifted thanks to the arrival of another one of Marquette’s athletic contingents. “The momentum really shifted when our men’s soccer team showed up,” Shymansky said. “All of a sudden, it just turned the whole environment into a home match for us. You could see the temperament and demeanor of our team change because of that support.” With the two wins, Marquette has started 3-0 on the road in the Big East for the first time in Shymansky’s tenure. The team has a golden chance to go to 4-0 on the road Sunday in Omaha, Neb. as they take on 10-4 Creighton, who just dropped out of the top 25 for the first time this season. The Bluejays knocked Marquette out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round last season. “For the returners, I know it’s revenge,” Jeziorowski said. “To get that 4-0 against Creighton would be awesome.”
2014 recruit Harris suspended 6-foot-7 forward punished for potential third rules violation By Trey Killian

Multiple sources reported Sunday that 2014 Marquette men’s basketball commit Malek Harris has been suspended for the entirety of his senior season at Carl Sandburg High School. A report by the Chicago SunTimes stated that the highly touted Illinois recruit will not be allowed to finish his high school playing career for disciplinary reasons. Harris’ specific actions have not been brought to light. The 6-foot-7 forward also missed the first 11 games of his junior campaign after committing undisclosed violations. The Sandburg High
School Honor Code states that multiple offenses can eventually result in suspension for one calendar year of performances, activities or competitions. The Honor Code Suspension Chart denotes that the specific basketball-related penalty assessed to the second offense of a Category B violation is exactly 11 games. A Category B violation is defined as the “use, possession, buying, selling, bartering, or distributing alcohol and/or other drugs.” A third offense under this category would result in “suspension from performances, activities, or competitions for the remainder of the student’s high school career.” When he did play for Sandburg, the Orland Park, Ill., native was a difference maker. During his junior year absence, the Eagles went 0-11 but rallied to a 10-7 finish upon his return. Over that stretch, Harris scored 17.5 points, grabbed 10.5 rebounds and dished 3.2 as-
sists per game. He would lead Sandburg to two upsets in the state championship tournament, including a victory over third-seeded Homewood-Flossmoor. ESPN ranked Harris as Illinois’ 11th best recruit and the 33rd best power forward in the nation. Harris received offers from seven other Division I programs including DePaul, Kansas State and Purdue, but verbally committed to Marquette June 26. The effect of the suspension on Harris’ future with the Golden Eagles is unknown. His strong, physical presence is expected to help fill the voids left by forwards Davante Gardner, Chris Otule and Jamil Wilson after this season. NCAA rules dictate that Marquette is not permitted to comment on the suspension until Harris signs his national letter of intent. The fall signing period does not begin until Nov. 13.

Marquette playing like stars of the new Big East
Patrick Leary Just two weeks into the fall sports conference season, Marquette already looks like the class of the new Big East. Last December, when plans for the new conference structure first went into motion, Marquette was praised for making a move that made a ton of sense. The Catholic 7, Xavier, Creighton and Butler all have the athletic mentality of over-achieving mid-major programs, and their unification seemed inevitable. With the removal of large and athletically competitive public schools like Louisville, Connecticut and Pittsburgh and even private schools like Syracuse, the Big East has gone from an eclectic combination of universities with varying athletic goals to a homogenous group with similar interests in mind. So far, the convenient and sensible realignment also appears slanted in the Golden Eagles favor. Marquette has played nine games this fall against Big East opponents. Women’s soccer has played four, women’s volleyball three and men’s soccer two. The three teams have combined conference records of 9-0-0. It’s definitely early in the season, but expect this trend to continue. Marquette could realistically compete for the five major conference championships (those three sports plus both basketball teams) in the 2013-14 season. Now this sudden universal contention implies a drop off in quality opposition. That comes as a necessary evil of removing the athletically competitive
state schools from the Big East. However, this decrease in quality competition can be easily counteracted by a step up in preconference scheduling. As a whole, Marquette has bulked up its non-conference schedules this season. Marquette volleyball took the lead in that regard when it played a team ranked in the top five nationally three weekends in a row. Women’s soccer has also faced a demanding slate, playing at the University of Portland, UCLA on a neutral site and keeping former conference mate Louisville on the schedule for a match at Valley Fields. The men’s basketball team followed suit, and will face Ohio State at the BMO Harris Bradley Center and play a tournament in Southern California in addition to their annual game against Wisconsin, which takes place at the Kohl Center this season. As for conference play, Marquette won’t have to feel like it’s facing a murderer’s row every week. The old Big East was too crowded and convoluted for even a good Golden Eagles team to make much headway. Now a truly elite Marquette men’s basketball team can realistically win the conference and the conference tournament in the same year. Men’s soccer won’t finish third in its division despite a 12-match winning streak as in 2012. And a steadily improving women’s basketball team won’t have to worry about demoralizing beatdowns from UConn, Notre Dame and Louisville. The new Big East takes the pressure off of Marquette athletics and allows teams to prove they are better than realistic opposition with similar goals. All is going according to plan so far.

Weekend sweep bumps women to 4-0-0 Marquette outshoots St. John’s, Xavier by massive 40-5 margin By Kyle Doubrava
kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu
With undefeated Georgetown looming on Marquette’s schedule, the Golden Eagles maintained focus this weekend to remain unblemished in the Big East. Marquette defeated a feisty St. John’s squad Thursday 3-1 and earned a 3-0 win at Xavier Sunday. The Golden Eagles sport a perfect 4-0-0 conference record heading into their pivotal Georgetown match Sunday. “I think we did really well this weekend,” senior defender Katie Hishmeh said. “We needed this weekend to kind of make our statement in the Big East and to let people know we’re the team to beat.” It would have been easy to
overlook those two matches and instead shift attention to the Hoyas, but Marquette has been intelligent enough through the years not to fall into such a trap. It did appear, however, the Golden Eagles were heading down that path against St. John’s. A header in the 49th minute by Red Storm sophomore Rachel Daly, who leads the nation with 14 goals, gave St. John’s the advantage. Daly’s score would be the only shot on goal Marquette would allow for the evening. For the weekend, Marquette outshot its opponents 40-5. The Golden Eagles, entering the match 1-3 when their opponents scored first, responded with a goal by senior midfielder Maegan Kelly in the 57th minute. Freshman midfielder Liz Bartels, the Big East Rookie of the Week, scored in the 72nd minute to put the Golden Eagles ahead. It was Bartels’ third goal in four games. After a lightning delay interrupted play in the 81st minute for
nearly an hour, junior Mary Luba drilled a goal from 30 yards out in the final minute. Luba scored once more at Xavier, her team-leading sixth goal of the fall. Hishmeh and freshman forward Shalese Miller both found the back of the net for the first time this season, giving Marquette an astounding 14 different scorers this campaign. “That balance is always crucial as you go through the season,” coach Markus Roeders said. “It’s a team effort and you have to rely on everybody to do their part. It creates a belief that anybody can get on the scoresheet. I think we’ve always had that luxury.” Roeders was concerned Xavier would enter “desperation mode,” given the team’s winless conference record, but the Golden Eagles exploited Xavier’s unfamiliarity with tournament-caliber teams. The Musketeers are in their first season in the Big East after 18 years in the Atlantic 10. Marquette closed a six-game stretch that spanned only 16 days. Even though the Golden
Eagles emerged victorious in all six matches, the team is prepared for a rest. Marquette will play its next four matches over a 20-day period and it will not play at all this week. Bartels said the Golden Eagles still have a responsibility to practice for Georgetown. “We all definitely need to catch up on our rest and take this time to keep improving on our game,” Bartels said. The Golden Eagles have won 10 of their last 11 contests, but a full week off presents the possibility of that momentum fading. Roeders will do his best to ensure that does not happen. The winner of Sunday’s game may be the eventual regular season champion. “We’re running with them neck and neck right now,” Roeders said. “We know how good they are. I think we all realize that we’re pushing each other. The game might come down to an early, midseason championshiptype match.”

Dykema wins both singles and doubles draws By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
Nick Dykema is making a significant impact on the men’s tennis team, despite only being two months into his freshman season. Dykema won the Flight-B singles tournament and was a part of the winning double’s pairing in Flight-B this weekend at the Ball State Invitational. Dykema started the tournament with a first-round bye and faced Derek Romer of Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne and defeated him handily, winning 6-1, 6-4. Dykema then knocked off Patrick Downs of Ball State 6-0, 6-3, and Rolando Torrellas of Iowa State 6-4, 6-4 to make it to the finals. Dykema was truly tested in the finals, winning the first set 7-6, but falling in the second 3-6, forcing the match to a tiebreaker. Dykema held on in the tiebreaker and won the tournament in Flight-B. Dykema would team up with junior Cam Tehrani for the Flight-B doubles tournament and went on to win the whole thing, but the two were tested along the way. In their first match, the pair won 9-7 and in the semi-final match, Tehrani and Dykema won the match in a tiebreaker. But in the final, Tehrani and Dykema had a slightly more convincing win, claiming the championship with a 8-5 victory. Senior Logon Collins competed in Flight-A and received a firstround bye as well. Collins was tested in his first match, defeating Tommy Marx of Butler 6-1, 7-5. However, Collins ran into eventual Flight-A champion Jacob Wilson of Iowa State in the next round, losing 6-3, 6-4. Collins would also play in the Flight-A doubles tournament, pairing up with freshman Kris Trukov. The two faced off against Sergiu Muresan and Mario Noboa of Chicago State and won 8-5. In their second match, Patrick Elliott and Ray Leonard bested Collins and Trukov 8-2. The men’s tennis team next travels to Columbus, Ohio for the ITA Midwest Regionals Oct. 17-21.
