Search firm hired to help find president Witt/Keiffer chosen to complete presidential search by next year

By Caroline Roers

caroline.roers@marquette.edu

The Marquette Presidential Search Committee announced Thursday that it will try to quickly find a new president with the assistance of the search firm Witt/Keiffer.

John Ferraro, chairman of the search committee, said the firm will be instrumental in helping the committee find a replacement before the next academic year for

former University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz, who suddenly resigned in September.

“It is an aggressive timeline, but I think it is doable if we stay diligent,” Ferraro said.

In 2010, when the university was searching for the 23rd president, they were given more than a year and a half to find a new president. This time though, the amount of time allotted is cut in half. Although, last time the university did not hire a search firm.

Ferraro added that having Dennis Barden, a partner at Witt/Keiffer who is experienced in finding university leaders, will be tremendously helpful in moving through the process efficiently.

“At the end of the day, we can’t

University administration leaders said Marquette’s goal to “care for the whole person” would not allow them to sponsor FemSex in a meeting Monday morning with Marquette Student Government leaders, said Executive Vice President Zach Bowman.

MUSG President Sam Schultz, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Bowman, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, met with interim Provost Margaret Callahan, Stephanie Russell, vice president of mission and ministry, and L. Christopher Miller, the vice president of student affairs, to discuss FemSex and the issue of gender and sexuality on campus.

Femsex, a female sexuality workshop, was formerly sponsored by the University Honors program until support was withdrawn following pressure from the university administration in September.

Bowman said the university leaders raised legitimate concerns over the FemSex workshop, but left the meeting questioning whether they were raised simply because of the nature of the program. He was also left with concerns over whether or not the university would use the same reasoning to shut down another program.

“My biggest concern is that I could see how they could easily pull any one of the four or five significant rationales that they gave for FemSex out anytime that they find something they don’t like about a certain topic on campus,” Bowman said.

Russell declined to meet with the Tribune in person, but sent a brief comment in an email that was reiterated by Callahan and Miller.

“We had a productive conversation with the MUSG leadership, focusing on ways to move forward in engaging campus dialogue around gender and sexuality,” Russell said.

Bowman said that during the meeting, administration leaders said gender and sexuality conversations should only happen in an academic setting with staff who are trained to facilitate those discussions. They also raised concerns about the Title IX requirement for mandatory

sacrifice the timing to get the right person,” Ferraro said. “But I believe that persistence and time, with the help of the search firm, will allow us to get this thing done because that is our objective.”

Witt/Kieffer has experience with searches, having gone through the process many times at other universities.

In the past three years, Witt/Kieffer has worked with many schools to find executive type positions including the University of Texas System’s executive vice chancellor for health affairs, Long Island University’s president and North Carolina Central University’s chancellor.

So far, their leader placements stay in their role for an

average of seven years and their clients have a 93 percent satisfaction rating.

Patricia Cervenka, director of the law library and professor of law, is a member of the presidential search committee. She said it has become customary for universities in the last few years to use search firms for executive positions.

“The search firms have experience working with multiple universities and other organizations around the country and have gathered a great deal of information on potential candidates,” Cervenka said. “Thus they can assist us with finding and ensuring potential candidates

Daniel Bergen, assistant dean for University Apartments and off-campus student services, emphasized that despite external security measures put in place, it is the students’ responsibility to keep their door locked.

“We continue to maintain a variety of security measures, including cameras in all of the Campus Town hallways and lobbies, cameras in the Humphrey front and elevator lobbies, a front desk staffed 24 hours in Campus Town and Humphrey, and a locked front door at every building,” Bergen said in an email.

In April, Hendrickson, the associate vice president in the Office of the Executive Vice President, was chosen to replace Lynn Mellantine as chief coordinator of Title IX, though the university said the change in coordinators was not related to any prior incident.

Hendrickson said Welburn’s appointment signifies the steadfast growth of Title IX at Marquette.

“Doctor Welburn’s formal participation on the team as a deputy coordinator is reflective of the growth and strengthening of the Title IX structure here at Marquette, which includes visibility, approachability, educational outreach and meaningful response,” Hendrickson said in an email.

Welburn also said his experience in the Provost’s office was an important factor in his appointment.

University events to commemorate Jesuit martyrs Mass, lectures part of weeklong memorial of 6 killed in ‘89 attack

By Natalie Wickman

natalie.wickman@marquette.edu

Jesuit universities around the world are commemorating an event that brought a more humble focus to Jesuit education: the brutal killings of six Jesuit martyrs by members of the Salvadorian military.

On Nov. 16, 1989, near the end of the Salvadoran Civil War, Salvadoran soldiers murdered six Jesuit professors, their housekeeper and her daughter on the campus of the Central American University in San Salvador (UCA). Marquette will commemorate the martyrs with lectures, discussions and a mass throughout the week.

In response to the martyrdoms, the late Rev. Dean Brackley, who received an honorary doctorate degree from Marquette in 2010, called for Jesuit educators to define educational excellence in terms of selflessness rather than high prestige in his book, “The University and Its Martyrs: Hope from Central America.”

“That Christian universities cannot compete with Harvard’s salaries and Stanford’s science laboratories provides an opportunity to clarify (…) the criteria for academic and educational excellence by including (…) the need for overcoming our middle-class biases and commitment to the poor in teaching and research,” according to Brackley’s book.

In accordance with Brackley’s vision, Marquette

worked to increase student involvement in international service work programs.

In 2000, Marquette students started working informally with Santa Clara University’s Casa de la Soladaridad study abroad program. Erin LeMoine,

international marketing and communications coordinator in the Office of International Education, said students started doing formal work with the Casa de la Soladaridad program in 2007.

“As part of the (Casa de la Soladaridad) program, students are

placed in service learning sites within marginalized communities, spending two days a week accompanying the poor through their everyday lives,” LeMoine said in an email. “The mission of the Casa de Solidaridad is justice and solidarity through direct immersion with the poor of El Salvador.”

Two to four Marquette students work with the Casa de la Soladaridad program each semester and are immersed in work focused on humanity, humility and understanding.

The Rev. T. Michael McNulty, adjunct philosophy professor, said he sees students becoming more open, involved and connected to issues upon participating in the Casa de la Soladaridad program.

“It’s typical for students to fall in love with the people of El Salvador,” McNulty said. “It’s really a transformative experience for all the students who do it.”

Despite the tragic nature of the martyrdoms, the Rev. John S. Thiede, assistant theology professor, said he thinks the Jesuit

community reflected and emerged stronger than it was before.

“It makes me proud to be a Jesuit because they weren’t afraid to speak out against injustice,” Thiede said. “It was a terrible thing that happened that night, but my hope is that something good came out of it. In some ways (the Martyrs) didn’t die in vain.”

The Martyr deaths have influenced just about every aspect of Jesuit life from teaching to advocacy work.

“The issues that I want to deal with now are bigger issues than they used to be as I’ve expanded my horizons beyond the United States,” McNulty said.

The university will host a “Soup with Substance Touchstones: Honoring the Holy and Sacred of the Rose Garden and Beyond” discussion at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 12 and a “Martyrs of the UCA” lecture led by Thiede on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. On Friday, there will be three commemoration masses at St. Joan of Arc chapel at 12, 6 and 10 p.m.

What happens if your roommate dies?

No formal policy in place; hall directors reserve discretion

By Claudia Brokish

claudia.brokish@marquette.edu

Many rumors circulate around campus regarding what happens if your roommate dies, including free housing or even free tuition. Some students even heard you can get straight A’s.

To anyone out there hoping that their roommates might meet untimely ends and take the pressure off their student loans, that urban legend is just that: a legend.

Resident Assistants from Straz Tower, Abbottsford, McCormick and O’Donnell residence halls all confirmed there is no such policy in place. RAs go through extensive training and are well versed in the ins-and-outs of Office of Residence Life policies.

“It’s my first year (as an RA), but I have never heard from (ORL) that students get free housing if a roommate passes away,” said Daniel Cibich, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences and an RA in Abbottsford Hall.

“I would assume that the resident would get the same options as if their roommate were to leave or drop out,” said Haley Jones, a sophomore in

the College of Business Administration and an RA in McCormick Hall. “You either pick a new roommate, buy out the space for roughly $2,000 or get a random roommate.”

The origin of such a rumor is unknown, although it seems it has been around for a long time. In fact, two 1998 movies, “Dead Man on Campus” and “Dead Man’s Curve” were created based on the concept.

Just as the case with any students affected by a traumatic experience, grieving roommates would have access to university counseling resources and could talk to their professors about extensions and help.

But any assistance or special benefits would be at the discretion of individual professors or hall directors.

In the end, each hall director can act however he or she deems appropriate for the situation.

This may entail giving the resident extra time to adjust to the unfortunate situation and perhaps find a new roommate on his or her own, and just a general high level of sympathy when handling such a situation.

Instances of roommates dying unexpectedly are thankfully quite rare, and therefore any such instances are dealt with on a case-by-case basis, with any idea of a “free-housing” policy or something similar seeming to be mythical at best.

This myth: debunked.

Zach Bowman (left) and Sam Schultz met with university administration about FemSex Monday morning.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1:

FemSex: Administration meets with MUSG to discuss FemSex workshop reporting of sexual misconduct.

Miller made it clear to MUSG leaders that university administration will remain uninvolved in student organizations, although Bowman said university officials added that they will become involved if organizations cross the line of falling outside of what they deem to be the university’s mission.

Bowman said Miller declined to specify what in FemSex was outside the university’s mission. Both Bowman and Schultz said MUSG would no longer be looking into FemSex as an issue.

“It’s entirely up to students and whether they want to sponsor some sort of similar FemSex program in the future,” Schultz said.

“The way it was happening last

year it isn’t going to happen again, I can tell you that.”

The university leaders said FemSex “fell outside of the school’s mission,” a phrase Bowman said they used repeatedly. He also said they found a lot of problems in the language used in the program. Bowman said Russell felt the language used was “misogynistic” and used only for shock value, while Callahan cited concerns of the FemSex organizer’s refusal to comply with all changes the university offered to the workshop’s syllabus.

The meeting on FemSex comes a week after MUSG completed a student survey on gender and sexuality. MUSG will not release specific results until after it reviews its findings with student government

adviser Jon Dooley, but Bowman indicated the results showed concern among students about the issue. He also said the survey showed a “substantial minority” of students felt dissatisfied or strongly dissatisfied with the gender and sexuality resources on campus.

He said the data about FemSex showed many students either disagree with how it was handled or felt there was a lack of transparency on the part of university administration.

“I would say they could have done a better job of explaining their needs,” Schultz said.

“It’s disappointing that more of this wasn’t immediately stated, especially with specifics.”

Firm: Search committee prepares for input sessions meet our qualifications.”

Brian Dorrington, director of university communication, said search firms provide a far-reaching network of contacts and have a broad understanding of the complex issues facing today’s universities that are important in finding appropriate candidates.

Cervenka said the search committee held interviews with search firms experienced in finding candidates for university positions and decided on Witt/Kieffer.

“Witt/Kieffer is highly regarded in higher education, and the committee determined it was the firm that could hit the ground running based on their previous work with searches for university presidents

at Catholic, Jesuit institutions,” she said.

Marquette worked with Witt/ Kieffer last spring when they found Michael VanDerhoef for the position of vice president for university advancement.

The search firm will be involved in the university’s community input sessions, geared to help determine which characteristics are most important in a presidential candidate.

The next community input session will take place Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Ballroom E of the Alumni Memorial Union.

Students may RSVP online at the presidential search webpage.

Recycling containers like those pictured above are placed throughout campus but are often misused by students.

In 2012, nearly 32 percent of all waste at Marquette was recycled, according to the Office of Sustainability.

the planning process.

On top of these initiatives, smaller — yet still substantial — efforts impacted both energy and water conservation.

Hallways began to be dimmed late at night. Light bulbs were upgraded to compact fluorescents. Most dining halls went tray-less three years ago. Lowflow showerheads were installed in the residence halls.

In addition, dining halls that provide to-go containers switched from paper to plastic this fall. The change occurred because the only facility that could recycle the paper to-go containers is in Eau Claire, WI. The new containers are 100 percent recyclable, although food waste must be washed out before recycling to prevent contaminating other recyclables.

Whittow said he hopes to debut a re-usable to-go container that students would return after use. His office is working with the health department to get approval, but Whittow said he would like this to happen by next semester.

“I follow what Mike Whittow prescribes,” Acuri said. “And it seems to be working.”

Whittow said there is still much left to do, despite all the Office of sustainability has already done.

Another possibility for Marquette is post-consumer composting, which includes uneaten food, paper napkins, fruit skins, bones in meat, utensils and food packaging like the paper that wraps sub sandwiches.

For post-consumer composting to happen, Marquette would need to buy a pulverizer and dryer, costing about $120,000 per dining hall, according to Acuri.

But it is not just expensive equipment needed to make postconsumer composting a reality.

“That type of composting requires students to be held accountable because sorting is involved,” Knox said. “There would need to be a college culture of separating your banana peel from your napkin.”

Founded in 1989, the organization’s purpose is to both promote sustainability and analyze the environmental problems on campus. Besides a full slate of Earth Week events, SEAC is best known for their “Don’t Dump, Donate” campaign, which was put on during move-out week of last year. Large boxes are placed inside residence halls and apartments to corral any unwanted f o o d , clothing and furniture, which then was donated to charity.

S E A C ’s current focus is on their “Take Back the Tap” initiative, which aims to eliminate all plastic water bottles on campus. Some obstacles with this project include a lack of funds to supply the refill water bottle stations and contract issues with Pepsi. Nevertheless, Mullins said he is optimistic that SEAC’s goal will be achieved by the end of this academic year.

Although the campuswide composting was not initiated

by SEAC, Bertellotti and his friends presented their work to the club, but eventually took the idea to administration themselves.

“I like the work that SEAC does and I like the people,” Bertellotti said. “It just worked out logistically to do this with their support, but not their name because they had their own projects going.”

STUDENT-LED INITIATIVES Just over a week ago, David Mullins, a junior in the College of Engineering, switched his major from civil to environmental engineering. His passion for the environment is illustrated by his tenure as president of Students for an Environmentally Active Campus last year.

The group, though comprised

ENVIRONMENTAL ACADEMICS A glance around the exterior of campus shows how far Marquette has come in terms of sustainability. But inside the classroom is where Marquette is pioneering a novel major: global ecology.

“So many schools have an environmental studies major within their respective college of

sciences,” said Jame Schaefer, a professor in the theology department who is spearheading the process. “But we have developed an interdisciplinary major that encompasses all fields.”

After conducting more than 60 meetings during t h e spring and summer of 2012, Schaefer said she found

faculty from every single college at Marquette, even the Law School and School of Dentistry, eager to collaborate on courses that blend each respective field with ecology.

The global ecology major will include three different concentrations for students to pursue: scientific discovery and innovation, policy and advocacy, or sustainability and entrepreneurship.

Some limited field experience may be provided through the Office of Sustainability, but field courses would be taught at places like the Urban Ecology Center and UW-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences.

This proposed mutual collaboration should “position Marquette in better standing with donors who are willing and eager to advance the greater Milwaukee community as a hub for research, teaching, and action on freshwater concerns,” according to Schaefer’s proposal.

MUSG unanimously approved a recommendation for the establishment of this major in May 2013, and it is now being considered by the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.

The plan is to have the pro-

posal to the Provost’s Office by the end of this academic year or early next academic year.

A ‘GREEN COLLEGE’ Marquette’s efforts to become sustainabile seems to be working, with evidence that the university was a “Green College” by the Princeton Review last April.

This marks the fourth year in a row that Marquette received this distinction.

Though Marquette is finally being recognized as an ecological institution, Knox said there is still so much more to be done.

“As petroleum prices continue to rise, change will occur out of necessity,” Knox said, pulling out a map of the world. “Those who contribute the most pollution like America will be the least impacted.”

Knox then pointed to a Marquette poster tacked to one of his office walls, which read “Be the difference.”

“That’s our motto,” he said.

“So let’s adhere to it.”

Three unique shows to listen out for on campus this semester

By Claire Nowak

claire.nowak@marquette.edu

Marquette Radio DJs head to the basement of Johnston Hall every day to broadcast shows about sports, music or life around campus. But Marquee found three of the most noteworthy weekly campus broadcasts from this semester that dare to break away from the typical college airwaves.

These shows instead explore old-time radio theater, host frank discussions on societal attitudes and even present eccelctic instudio performances.

Hosted by College of Communication junior Rebecca Dempsey Wednesdays 6 - 7:30 p.m.

In homage to Orson Welles and his 1930s radio program, “The Mercury Theatre on the Air,” host Rebecca Dempsey reads classic stories live on the air to create a radio dinner theater experience.

“When I’m on the air, it’s not like I’m doing regular talk

radio where I’m talking about my life or something lifestyley,” Demsey said. “I’m being someone else. For some of the stories I do, I could be up to 15 characters, so that could be 15 voice variations.”

Dempsey portrays characters of different ages and genders and said finding the right voice for each character can take hours of practice.

“Usually, I’ll make a list out of all the characters, and the main ones I make sure get a very distinct voice,” she said. “And I’ve noticed that lots of these radio shows are typically characterized with male parts, and I’m just like, ‘[sigh] I’m a girl. This is what I want to do.’ So I need six different male voices, which is very stressful, because I’m not- I don’t have- I’m a girl.”

Dempsey’s repertoire of classic radio scripts includes “War of the Worlds,” “Around the World in 80 days” and “The Hitchhiker.” For her Halloween show, Dempsey read “Dracula,” though her Transylvanian accent was one of her more difficult radio endeavors.

“I don’t even know what I did,” she said. “It just happened, and I was like, ‘That’s what it’s going to be.’ I don’t even think I can do it again. As I was sitting there, I’m sure that my face was

beet-red even though only my listeners could hear me.”

Rebecca’s favorite radio stations: 103.5 FM KISS FM (Chicago) and 101.9 FM The Mix (Chicago)

Hosted by College of Communication sophomore Hannah Byron Fridays 9-10:30 a.m.

On Media Madness, host Hannah Byron explores how the media shapes and reflects societal values through unfair coverage or misrepresentation.

“Media is constantly around us, whether we realize it or not,” she said. “Media comes in forms not just television and music and magazines, but it’s like advertisements. It’s constantly around us.

We have our cell phones with us.

We have social media. People should be more aware of the media and how even different things you say, different ways you look at people, it impacts everything.”

Byron often invites guests to speak on her show to get professional opinions on her topics.

“It’s mostly professors that I’ll bring in,” she said.

Byron recently invited journalism and media studies professors, Pamela Hill Nettleton and Ana Garner onto the show.

“Nettleton was very much on

my show for the way women are represented,” Byron said. “(Garner) focuses her research on race and gender in the media, so I look for people like that, and even people who aren’t professors.”

While her topics cover a wide variety of demographics that Byron said she believes are misrepresented or underrepresented, Byron makes sure to get her audience involved in whatever she is covering.

“Usually every week, I’ll go to the AMU or hot spots on campus, and I’ll just poll random people ,and I’ll ask them, ‘Hey what do you think about women in the media?’” she said. “Or I’ll have them watch a clip and I’m like, ‘What are your initial reactions to this?’ I talk to people, and that’s how I also gauge what I want to talk about on the show, based on what they say. Like, if they say something that maybe I disagree with, I wanna hear that stuff

because it helps me build the discussion on whatever the topic is.”

Hannah’s favorite radio station: NPR (Wisconsin Affiliate - FM 90.7 WHAD)

Hosted by College of Engineering senior Sam Kissel Sundays 7:30 - 9 p.m.

Straying from the conventional “one station, one genre” format, Sounds Like Suburbia plays music from a variety of genres, like alternative, indie, rap, country and classic rock. The show is hosted by Marquette Radio program director Sam Kissel and is the longest running show on MU radio.

Kissel’s passion for music stems beyond just the songs he plays on his show (he claims to be “one of the few people (who) still buy CDs”), and it shows through the stories he tells between the music.

“If I’m playing a song from a band I just saw in concert, obviously I know that I’m going to talk about the concert, and I’m playing this song because it was my favorite song they played,” he said. “But sometimes I’ll just kind of start talking and I’ll come up with goofy segues or things that (will make) my friends text me and say, ‘That was the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.’”

Occasionally, live bands come inyo the studio as a treat for listeners, something that Kissel said makes his show unique and more fun than the traditional music show.

“I’ve had bands come in and play on my show,” he said. “A band called The Hops that’s from Illinois came to a couple Marquette Radio events, but they’ve also played an acoustic set on my show. So I talked to them and interviewed them. I like to have fun on my show, and I think that people can see that, or, hear that.”

Sam’s favorite radio stations: 88.9 Radio Milwaukee and FM 102.1 Milwaukee

Senior Sam Kissel hosts an eclectic music radio show, “Sounds Like Suburbia,” the longest running show currently broadcast on Marquette Radio.

Childhood board games offer unrealistic view on ‘Life’ Pretty, Pretty Princess

Erin Heffernan I recently had a one of those moments when you look back on your childhood and think “Wow, that was sort of messed up.”

I have come to the conclusion that many of the board games of my generation are a bit twisted at best, especially the “girly” games.

Sure there were plenty of harmless rounds of charades and Scrabble, but I remember games that proclaimed girls were winners when they got the right amount of bling or found themselves a frost-tipped ‘90s man and I played the plastic race to financial prosperity that is the “Game of Life” more times than almost any other game.

These games may have been made with the good intentions of encouragins family bonding and problem solving skills, but looking back, their logic seems more than a bit flawed. More often than not they led to boards being flipped, pieces thrown, false expectations raised and some pretty messed up ideas lodged in the brains of ‘90s kids everywhere.

You might remember this game as the item of choice at girly ‘90s birthday parties everywhere.

It is a sort of dress up-board game combination.

The goal of “Pretty, Pretty Princess” was to collect the bracelet, earrings, ring and necklace in your chosen color, while avoiding the black ring—presumably an unprincessly blemish of color coordination failure. When you win, you are awarded the crown from the treasure box and are instructed to look into the mirror on the opposite side of the spinner and proclaim “I am a pretty, pretty princess.”

Besides making little girls say this evokes creepy horror movie children, I can’t remember a single game of “Pretty, Pretty Princess” that didn’t end in tears, thrown plastic rings or crown-stealing coup d’états.

But these dramatic tantrems only follow the twisted logic of the game. The mark of success is complete riches and girliness. The way to get there is through catty competition to find success and avoid the semi-accessorized fate of the ugly, ugly peasant.

Women are already predisposed to fight over looks, wealth and who can get them all first, so why in the name of the 90s, scrunchies and sparkly butterfly clips was “Pretty, Pretty Princess” in the closet of half the girls in my class?

about 10-years-old. This “girly” game makes “Pretty, Pretty Princess” look like a women’s lib rally.

The goal of the game is to pick up a fuchsia (super-90s!) cordless phone and ask a series of eligible bachelors questions to discover which of the cioffed dream boats had a crush on you. Apparently all the men were open to being called up to drop hints like “I’m not wearing a hat!” and “you crush is not at the beach!”

Players had to search a series of teen hangouts like the snack shop, the gym, the movies and, of course, the mall to rule out different men and locations. It was like a sort of vapid “Clue.” It’s Carlos with the hat at the gym!

This game trained us in the intricacies of gossip and boy craziness. As preteens we were taught to swoon over pictures of boys at least 24 or 25. Rumors, crushes and notes that said “check yes or no” would inevitably come into our lives, we didn’t the practice of “Dream Phone” to speed it all up.

The Game of Life

“The Game of Life” is not a ‘90s-exclusive, but is actually one of America’s oldest parlor games. The original game went under a redesign in the ‘60s to become roughly the game of careers, salaries, stocks and marriage we know today.

Now, I get that it is fun to play a game that mirrors life (and I have many beautiful mansions logged in “The Sims” to prove it). But have you ever considered that you win the “Game of Life” by having the most money when you die?

Through all the life events, disastors and home buying the only way to win is to have the greatest value in your paper money and cardboard life cards. What a terrible concept!

To create the idea that life is just one big race to die with the most cash.

In smart “Game of Life” strategy, too many kids can hurt your chances. Your salary is in no way connected to your career, so you can be a poor superstar or a filthy rich police officer. The game makes you strive for the perfect corvette, spousal bliss, and the key end

Corporate Twitter mishap reflects broader trends

STAFF EDITORIAL

University recycling initiatives need students to participate Eric Oliver

Illustration by Ellery Fry/ellery.fry@marquette.edu

Our view: While students should take more responsibility for recycling their waste, university administration should continue to consider cost-efficient green initiatives.

The benefits of proper recycling are indisputable – fewer landfills, less pollution and large energy savings to name a few. Yet, with outcomes so favorable, many students still throw their empties in the garbage or their food waste in the recycling.

The administration and student groups, such as Students for an Environmentally Active Campus, which helped facilitate the push toward a “greener” campus should be commended. They expanded the meaning of “be the difference,” invoking the stewardship principle that goes hand in hand with Marquette’s identity as a Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher learning.

The university has pursued recycling and composting initiatives. Besides Marquette’s recycling and composting programs, new buildings on campus, including the Engineering Hall, Zilber Hall and McCabe Hall, have been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Gold awards.

As a university, Marquette recycled 32 percent of its waste in 2012 according to the Office of Sustainability. This is an impressive leap from the 19.5 percent of waste it recycled just three years prior in 2009, landing Marquette a spot on the Princeton Review list of “Green Colleges.”

In comparison, the United States as a whole recycled 34.1 percent of its municipal solid waste in 2010, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Still, the student sentiment that Marquette does not recycle persists. The irony is, when university employees throw the contents of a recycling bin into the garbage dumpster, it is most often the fault of students.

By throwing non-recyclable waste, such as food scraps, into the blue recycling bins across campus, people contaminate the bin and all the recyclables inside it. Contaminated bins are relegated to the trash as the university does not have the manpower to separate all of the waste. To separate the recyclable materials from the non-recyclable materials in these contaminated bins by hand would require a

large increase of man hours dedicated to recycling – a non-cost efficient option.

Rather, students need to take the few seconds to separate their scrap paper from their banana peels, their empty beer cans from their non-recyclable pizza boxes filled with grease and food residue. Doing so would reduce costs for the university by cutting down on waste management costs.

Green initiatives should not only be viewed based on their sustainability, but also on their cost effectiveness. Current initiatives balance an effort to be more sustainable with how much they cost.

However, initiatives such as ones that facilitate post-consumer recycling, or composting of wasted food, would require the university to purchase pulverizers and dryers in the dining halls. These machines would cost a hefty $120,000 per dining hall and their effectiveness would still be limited by how much students are willing to sort out their waste in the dining halls. Investing $720,000 in an untested program that would depend heavily on student cooperation would be unwise.

While the university is not actively pursuing this option, it should keep in mind cost effectiveness as it moves forward with new recycling initiatives.

Programs such as post-consumer composting, while good for the environment, should not be seriously considered until individuals can be reliably counted on to sort their trash from their recycling in both the residence halls and academic buildings on campus.

Instead, the university should continue to implement initiatives that are less dependent on student involvement and more cost efficient, such as continuing to make buildings on campus LEED certified.

The university and a group of dedicated students have admirably continued to push the green initiative, from recycling and composting programs to an increase in academic initiatives relating to ecology and sustainability. These trends should be furthered through both an emphasis on education and a balance between cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

It is ultimately up to individuals on campus to facilitate a recycling culture.

Remember, recycling only works as well as you use it.

Social media is #awesome. It allows you to share your every thought at a moments notice. It is the epitome of free speech.

Yet, on the Internet, you can share any opinion, no matter how divisive.

These tweets, posts and comments are rarely moderated and, at times, can be racist, homophobic or bigoted.

Last week, for example, the social media manager at The Home Depot, Inc. sent out a tweet with a picture of three people playing drums – two of them were African American and the third was dressed in a monkey suit. The caption read “Which drummer is not like the other?”

The social media manager is no longer employed by Home Depot, nor should he. The picture was out right racist.

Home Depot sent out preemptive apologies to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, none of whom commented on the tweet prior to the apology being sent out. Had Home Depot better supervised its social media manager, the whole o rdeal could have been avoided.

The most baffling question is why has this happened more than once? Social media managers should learn from the past mistakes of others and try not to repeat them.

Corporate responsibility is essential when it comes to social media. The social media point person for a company represents the whole company to a large audience. Before each tweet is sent out, a responsible individual should always ask him or herself,

“Would I put this on display in the middle of a physical store?” The Internet, and social media by extension, presents a version of a company that is open and accessible to everyone, everywhere, all the time.

Irresponsible tweeting and sharing on Facebook is a chronic problem. Companies utilizing Hootsuite and Tweetdeck, online social media managers, schedule tweets to go out at certain times throughout the day. These tweets should be reviewed by upper management before they are sent out. When occurrences, such as the one at Home Depot, do happen, they force a company to make public apologies and lose respect nationally.

A perfect local example happened over the summer when campus burger restaurant Sobelman’s was accused of being responsible for a woman roofied at the restaurant.

The social media manager at Sobelman’s, instead of issuing statements that the alleged incident was under investigation, decided to personally engage with everyone that tweeted at the company. Exchanges became heated and the social media manager issued an apology the following day.

This isn’t just a problem with businesses, as individuals bear part of the responsibility.

We all need to take a step back and take social media seriously. Hitting delete doesn’t mean a misguided post is gone forever. If it was on the Internet once, somebody will be able to find it.

On Halloween, a woman made the awful decision to dress as a victim of the Boston Marathon bombing. She posted the picture to various social networks, and she was fired soon after it hit the Internet. She since deleted the post, but the backlash still occurs.

Twitter is a great tool. You can reach millions of prospective clients at a moments notice, but you still have to recognize that at the end of the day, anyone can view your tweet and take it in any context they like.

Before you tweet, stop and think.

The term ‘American’ not exclusive to US citizens

Helen Hillis If you have ever spent time in another country, you’ve probably answered the question, “Where are you from?” You likely responded with either: America or the United States. Both are accurate, but imply different things.

In English speaking countries, parts of Western Europe, India and China, students learn that there are seven continents: Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa, Antarctica, North America and South America.

Yet, students in many other parts of the world learn only five: Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa and America.

From Canada’s Boothia Peninsula in the north, to Chile’s Patagonia in the south, America spans approximately 8,700 miles.

The United States makes up only 23 percent of this total American landmass.

America. Just America. Not North. Not South. Not Central. Just America.

There are directional divides associated within other continents of the world: Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, West Africa, ect. However, these directional adjectives are not defined as distinct continents.

In the United States, we are taught that we (along with Canada and Mexico) make up a different continent altogether. We are unique in our northness.

We are America. They are Central and South.

Most of us initially associate an American with someone from the United States.

To the 600 million people living in what we refer to as Central and South America, an American is anyone who lives on this giant land mass. To those populations, we are all Americans because this continent is America.

There are 313.9 million people living in the United States and there are 953.6 million Americans. Less than a third of Americans reside in the United States.

I think what makes this concept difficult to digest for many people is that the only way to refer to someone from the United States is “American.” The English language does not have another way of describing such a person.

Perhaps “American” is really meant to be “United States of American,” but I have never heard it used that way. In the U.S., we are “proud to be American” and we live the “American way.” Our society uses the term to describe someone from the U.S. In Spanish, the word for someone from the United States is “estadounidense.” It is the equivalent of saying “I am United Statesian.” I would imagine other languages have similar terms. To say “I am United Statesian” sounds foreign to us. It doesn’t roll off of the tongue nicely. We would never use it in conversation.

One might wonder why this distinction is even important. Does dividing us between north and south mean there is a cultural division? Because Mexico is considered part of North America, I would disagree. Instead, I see this division, and more specifically the use of “American” by people in the United States, as representative of the indifference many people in our country have toward our neighbors in the southern part of the continent. By dividing our continent into two parts, we attempt to distance ourselves from

of cohabitants. One represents a mutual respect between neighboring nations while the other probes at a state of ignorance.

two-thirds of its residents.

In other parts of the world, particularly in other parts of America, to say you are United Statesian or to say you are American mean two different things. One is a nation while the other triples your number

Men grind out opening win Team overcomes dismal second half to beat Southern 63-56

By Trey Killian

robert.killian@marquette.edu

The box score of Marquette’s season-opening 63-56 win over Southern was bizarre to say the least.

It was a tale of two halves for the Golden Eagles offensively as they knocked down 52.6 percent of their field goals in the first 20 minutes, only to shoot 17.6 percent after the break.

Senior forward Davante Gardner’s night epitomized the effort.

He scored 18 first-half points, going a perfect eight-for-eight from the free throw line. However, he finished with just 25 points after failing to record a field goal and missing five of his final 12 free throw attempts in the second half.

Marquette coach Buzz Williams credited the second-half struggles to “a little bit of everything,” but mainly cited late turnovers.

“Our turnover rate in the first half was 16 percent,” Williams said. “That’s as low as its been in a long time. We had over one point per possession in the first half. In the second half, our turnover percentage was way too high.”

“In order for us to have a chance to be a really good team we need to get one shot at least per possession and defensively, we need to allow at maximum one shot per possession. We’re not going to be able to turn the ball over at the rate we were able to last year.”

The Jaguars played tough under the basket, outscoring Marquette 20-16 in the paint and winning the battle of the boards 38-35.

Though the Golden Eagles never trailed, Williams labeled Southern a “really good team” and credited it for hanging around.

“It’s not your typical home opener at the high major level, but I hope that in time it will end up being a really good RPI win,” Williams said.

Junior guard Todd Mayo had one of his best games in a Marquette uniform Friday. He scored 13 of Marquette’s 25 second half points to finish with 20.

throws, while connecting on only 33. The high total could be attributed to changes to the NCAA rules over the offseason, including the implementation of a new “hand-check” rule.

While other coaches, including Southern Methodist’s Larry Brown, expressed concern with the change, Williams was hesitant to make any premature judgments.

“It goes back to how we were

all taught to play,” Williams said.

“You play with your feet, not your hands, and so it’s fairly explicit now. When your hands get involved it’s a foul. I don’t know if it’s an aberration or not, I think only as time plays itself out will we know that.”

As for his team’s struggles at the charity stripe, which also kept Marquette from pulling further away, Williams expected more.

“In years past we’ve wanted to

make 22 free throws (per game), and I told our older guys that we probably wanted to make 22 free throws in both the first half and the second half tonight,” Williams said. “(I thought) I was (over-exaggerating) a little bit but maybe I wasn’t. We should’ve made 44 free throws.”

Junior Todd Mayo’s 20 points, including 13 in the second half, provided a bright spot for the Golden Eagles.

Williams praised Mayo’s “knack to score the ball” but more notably his improved defense, since his minutes will be predicated on defensive soundness.

“Within how we play defensively and particularly how the rules have changed, if you’re just trying to play huggy-huggy oneon-one you’re going to lose,” Williams said. “So the team concept defensively becomes more heightened.”

Volleyball sweeps Seton Hall, St. John’s, eyes title Bond Squad has won 22 consecutive sets at home since Sept. 25

By Patrick Leary

Since its fourth set loss against Illinois State Sept. 25, the Marquette women’s volleyball has not lost a set at the Al McGuire Center.

That streak continued this weekend, when the Golden Eagles swept Seton Hall (25-15, 25-16, 2521) Friday and St. John’s (25-20, 25-23, 25-17) Sunday.

“Another three-set win for us at home and one step closer to the Big East title,” Marquette coach Bond Shymansky said. “A 3-0 sweep

at home is a great thing, and I feel like we’re defending home court really well.”

That defense started Friday, when Marquette took on the always testy Seton Hall. Led by the Manthorpe twins Shelby and Stacey, the Pirates are notorious for getting under their opponents skin. However, the Golden Eagles were never challenged, and dominated in the routine sweep.

Junior outside hitter Lindsey Gosh led the team with 13 kills while hitting .462 and freshman Autumn Bailey was almost as efficient, with 12 kills on .444 hitting and 11 digs.

Before the match, Marquette held a ceremony honoring senior libero Julie Jeziorowski for becoming the first player in program history to reach 2,000 career digs.

She marked the occasion by adding

20 more to her total.

“It’s always something cool,” Jeziorowski said. “It’s a way to be remembered. I don’t want to come here for four years and be forgotten, so it’s sweet.”

With the win, the team clinched a spot in the Big East tournament for the fourth consecutive season. The achievement is nice, even though Marquette has much bigger goals.

“It’s what we, as seniors, have worked four years to do,” Jeziorowski said.

The Golden Eagles carried their momentum into Sunday and took out a game against St. John’s in yet another sweep. Bailey led Marquette with 16 kills while redshirt freshman middle hitter Meghan Niemann racked up 10 kills and hit .643. Senior setter Elizabeth Koberstein notched 42 assists and

helped the team hit a stellar .343.

“We did a much better job with our attack percentage,” Niemann said. “We hit like .250-something on Friday. We like to be above .300. That’s a team goal. For us to be able focus and get that done is a big deal.”

After the first set, Marquette had 16 kills and had four players -- Bailey, Niemann, Gosh and freshman outside hitter Nele Barber -- with four kills apiece. Niemann said that balance will help the team moving forward.

“That balance is something we’ve developed all through the season,” Niemann said. “That’s really going to help us as we go farther in the season and start getting into postseason.”

Both Seton Hall and St. John’s play grinding, highly-emotional

styles, and the Golden Eagles succeeded in managing their own emotions in the two sweeps. Shymansky praised his players for the maturity they showed.

“Some opponents will bring it out in us,” he said. “They’ll talk a little smack, and you have to respond.

You respond by putting up or shutting up. Our group does a nice job of putting up.”

Marquette faces Seton Hall and St. John’s again next weekend, but this time on the road. With two more wins, the Golden Eagles will clinch a share of their first ever Big East title.

“Anything we’re doing, any day in practice, is always geared towards being a championship team,” Niemann said.

Mitchell’s team starts off 2-0 Women record huge wins over Wake Forest, Pine Bluff

By Matt Barbato

matthew.barbato@marquette.edu

Hustle and grit were the winning formula for the Marquette women’s basketball team in its first two games of the season, a 90-71 win over Wake Forest Saturday afternoon and a 9644 victory Monday night over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Offensive rebounding and keeping possessions alive have been key for the Golden Eagles early on in the new season.

Marquette recorded 19 offensive boards against Wake Saturday and snatched 31 more against Pine Bluff.

“Rebounding is all about heart,” coach Terri Mitchell said after Monday’s victory.

“When I asked our team what do you want to be known for, they said they wanted to be known for rebounding and controlling the ball.”

In Saturday’s season-opener against Wake Forest, the Golden Eagles out-hustled and pounded their counterparts on the glass, doubling the Demon Deacons in offensive rebounds in the 19-point triumph. After a back-and-forth first half, Marquette led by just five at the break. The Golden Eagles rebounded in the second half, going on a 12-1 run in the first four minutes of the half to assume control over the Deacons.

Roeders quietly Marquette’s most succesful head coach

Patrick Leary Buzz Williams is eccentric. Terri Mitchell is rock solid. Louis Bennett is passionate. Bond Shymansky is a visionary.

Marquette women’s soccer coach Markus Roeders flies under the radar, but in reality, he is the most successful of the bunch.

Roeders’ team clinched its second straight Big East Tournament championship this weekend. A 2-0 victory over DePaul Sunday at Valley Fields guaranteed the Golden Eagles a spot in next week’s NCAA Tournament.

The team will make its sixth straight appearance in the national field, this time as a No. 2 seed.

Roeders took over as coach in 1996, and has amassed a career record of 272-94-37, for a winning percentage of nearly .750. He developed more than 100 all-conference players and 11 all-Americans in that time.

Since 2008, when its NCAA Tournament streak began, the team has won 96 games. In 2011 and 2012, the Golden Eagles set their high-water mark for wins with 18. They also won their regular season division title each of the past five seasons.

Even with all of that incredible recent history, Roeders took his team to the next level in 2013. After adding two more victories in this weekend’s tournament, the team sits at 18-3 heading into the NCAA’s. Not only that, but it carries a 13-game winning streak, including an undefeated run through the Big East for the first time in school history.

During that absurd win streak, the Marquette defense and sophomore

goalkeeper Amanda Engel allowed a grand total of five goals, only one of which was on the road. In turn, Marquette scored 34 goals, for an average of just under three per game and a goal difference of plus 29.

The season also yielded some incredible individual efforts. One of Roeders’ best players ever, senior forward Maegan Kelly leads the team in both goals and assists with 10 and eight respectively. Kelly led the team in points in 2010 and 2011 as well, and just successfully recruiting her is a crowning achievement of Roeders’ career.

Kelly’s presumed successor up front, junior Mary Luba, scored eight goals and tallied four assists. Rock-solid senior midfielder Taylor Madigan has six goals and six assists in her final season.

Engel and senior defender Emily Jacobson anchored a defense that allowed 15 goals in 21 games.

Perhaps Roeders’ best quality as program leader is his ability to reload. Even though Marquette will lose eight seniors after this season, it has a collection of impact young players ready to step into the spotlight. Along with Engel in net, freshman Morgan Proffitt has shined defensively, sophomore Anne Marie Lynch looks solid in the midfield, and the duo of freshmen Ashley Handwork and Liz Bartels will score goals in bunches for years to come.

However, Roeders has yet to find success in the NCAA tournament. He had championship-caliber teams the past two seasons, but won just three total games on the biggest stage.

Maybe a Final Four appearance will finally garner the attention Roeders deserves.

Men lose to DePaul, still win share of Big East title 2-1 loss not great for momentum, but team celebrates anyway

By Andrew Dawson

andrew.dawson@marquette.edu

With the regular season Big East title in reach, the men’s soccer team fell to DePaul 2-1 Friday afternoon, but by nightfall, the squad chanted and cheered as they became winners of a share of the Big East regular season title.

The title is Marquette’s second regular season title in the last three years and the first in the re-formed Big East conference.

“We had more points than anyone else except for Georgetown, so for me, I forgot the bittersweet,” coach Louis Bennett said.

“It wasn’t bitter anymore it was just sweet because our body of work and our style of play shone through and we’re always going to be about that.”

Friday against DePaul (5-11-2, 1-7-1), Marquette (10-5-2, 6-21) was welcomed with a physical match in which six yellow cards were dished out, five of them for the home team. Both teams suffered injuries and an unusually high amount of substitutions were made, leaving a few players battered with wounds. One was

redshirt junior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon, who was hit in the head and forced to leave the field, but returned to finish the game.

“Not to make any excuses but the field didn’t really fit our style,” senior defender Eric Pothast said.

“It was really cramped, and just their physical play kind of took us off our game. We came up short on our goal there, but the soccer gods smiled on us, and things just worked out our way.”

Injuries also struck the Blue Demons in the eighth minute when senior goalkeeper Eric Sorby broke his finger, allowing for the collegiate debut of freshman keeper Quentin Low. Low faced many shots when he entered the game, making four saves in the first half, one of which was on junior midfielder Sebastian Jansson, who received a ball inside the box. Jansson’s shot went right at Low who made the point blank save.

The stellar performance kept the teams scoreless through the opening 20, but the scoring took off in the middle of the half.

In the 24th minute, DePaul’s Art Garza opened the scoring with a header from a cross that found the back of the net.

The lead did not stand though as Marquette responded a little more than five minutes later when freshman midfielder Louis Bennett II’s shot rebounded to a waiting redshirt sophomore forward

Redshirt sophomore forward C. Nortey scored Marquette’s only goal in a 2-1 loss to DePaul Friday night.

C. Nortey, who blasted it home to even the score.

Knotted at one, DePaul quickly took the lead, again on a set piece, when Koray Yesilli headed in the eventual game winner.

When the final whistle blew, Marquette still needed to wait for the result of the Xavier-Butler match to decide their fate. While the team was on the bus home, Xavier scored and the team started to think the postseason would start

early for them on Tuesday, rather than having a first round bye and playing Friday. Then Butler struck twice and players celebrated their Big East regular season championship win.

“We’ve worked hard for it and we did enough to win the Big East and I think everyone was very happy,” Bennett II said. “(Our celebrations) was just getting the guys together, doing some singa-longs that we do in the locker

room and kind of just celebrating as a team.”

The first stop of the postseason is the Big East tournament, which begins tonight with quarterfinal matches. Marquette plays the winner of the Xavier-Butler quarterfinal match in the semi-finals on Friday night at 7:30 in Chester, Penn. at PPL Park, which is also the site of the NCAA Championship match.

Women beat DePaul, win another Big East crown Goals from Madigan, Lynch seal 2-0 final victory at Valley Fields

By Kyle Doubrava

kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

After emerging as Big East Tournament champions on their home field, the Marquette women’s soccer team is flying high. It extended a 13-game winning streak and will prepare for the NCAA College Cup this weekend.

The Golden Eagles defeated DePaul 2-0 Sunday to win the Big East Tournament championship for the second straight season.

Senior midfielder Taylor Madigan and sophomore midfielder Ann Marie Lynch each scored for Marquette in the victory. Junior midfielder Mary Luba was named the tournament’s Outstanding Offensive Player, and senior defender Emily Jacobson was named Outstanding Defensive Player.

“For us, it’s probably a little moment in history,” coach Markus Roeders said. “We’ve never had the opportunity to win a conference tournament title at home. This team has accomplished so much already this year. We talked about that today was going to be our turn.”

Marquette picked up a 1-0 win Friday night against St. John’s in the semifinals, holding off Red Storm star forward Rachel Daly, who entered the match with 22 goals.

Many fans, and even some of the Golden Eagles, expected the team to face nationally ranked Georgetown in the finals, but DePaul stunned the Hoyas 1-0 in the semifinals.

The Blue Demons’ back line was a source of frustration for Marquette, particularly in the first half. DePaul goalie Alex Godinez, selected as the conference’s Goalkeeper of the Year with her nine shutouts, made many diving catches and deflections to keep the Golden Eagles at bay. Luba had

two solid looks on goal in the 35th minute, but Godinez kept the match scoreless heading into halftime.

“They do play really good defense,” Luba said. “They’re really scrappy in the box, and I don’t think Georgetown was very smart about them.”

Marquette finally found relief in the 59th minute when Madigan’s shot deflected off the right post and rolled into the net out of Godinez’s reach.

Lynch’s score in the 68th minute marked her first career goal.

The Golden Eagles outshot the Blue Demons 36-6, including a 16-1 edge on shots on goal. It was the 11th clean sheet for the team this season and its eighth in the Big East.

“We pride ourselves on shutouts, and I was glad we were able to get one,” Jacobson said.

“If we don’t let them score, they’re not going to win.”

The players were even more satisfied to get the victory in front of their home crowd, on a pitch they dominated for the past several seasons.

“Just protect the Valley,” Luba said. “That’s what we’re all about.”

Jacobson, a senior, cherished the win although she has been down this path before.

“It’s something very special, to be able to do it at home,” she said. “It’s something obviously I’ll remember for a really long time.”

Marquette earned a No. 2 seed in its College Cup region and will host Western Michigan Friday night. This is only the second College Cup appearance for the Broncos, who last qualified in 2003.

“It’s kind of like that next chapter,” Roeders said. “We had the non-conference chapter, we had the regular season chapter, we had the conference tournament, and now we’re getting to open that next chapter in the book. We know we’re running out of games. The maximum could be six games, but you also know it could only be one ...

We’d love to keep this riding as long as we can.”
