Police yet to decide Marquette tied to offshore law firm on body cam vendor After two Axon trial runs, MUPD weighing options

By Morgan Hughes

morgan.hughes@marquette.edu

A house party turned chaotic in September when Marquette University Police Department officers responded to an alleged sexual assault and threatened to use Tasers against several noncompliant students.

A student at the house recorded the taser incident on his smartphone and uploaded the video to Snapchat. Officers can be seen attempting to restrain several students, and one officer can

be heard saying, “You’re gonna get Tased,” followed by two distinct clicking noises. From the video, it appears that the Taser was activated.

Nothing was verified until the following day when a statement from the university said the Taser had not been used.

The student believed to have been Tased confirmed this.

When the Marquette Wire asked Marquette University Police Department Chief of Police Paul Mascari if he thought a body camera would have been useful in this situation, he said no.

“Body cameras are not going to stop people from posting things to social media before they

have all (or any) facts,” Mascari said in an email.

MUPD began researching body cameras shortly after becoming a commissioned police department in 2015. MUPD came close to signing a contract with Axon, the same company that supplies its Tasers, but is now considering alternative companies after being informed of changes in the company’s pricing.

In 2017, Axon announced a National Free Trial Offer of their body cameras, which would equip every interested police department in the U.S. with one body camera per officer. This offer came on the heels of MUPD See AXON page 2B

MU listed among clients in leaked international data

By Jennifer Walter

Marquette is one of many universities listed a client of an offshore law firm being investigated as part of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalist’s Paradise Papers project after a major data leak released to the public in November.

The law firm, Appleby, is a major subject in the ICIJ’s investigation, as a closer look at the documents shows many influential people and institutions around to world who are current and former clients of the firm. Some have used the offshore haven to avoid taxes by stashing money in offshore accounts.

But such a link does not necessarily mean that Marquette is guilty of illegal offshore activity. Accord-

ing to the ICIJ’s webpage for their Offshore Leaks Database, there are “legitimate uses for offshore companies and trusts,” a sentiment echoed by Marquette spokesman Chris Jenkins.

Marquette is listed in the database due to their former partnership with United Educators, an insurance company that covers educational institutions around the country.

Jenkins said many universities were having trouble finding insurance to fit the unique needs of higher education during the 1980s insurance crisis, which caused Marquette to become a founding member of UE. UE began as School, College and University Underwriters, Ltd., a consortium that created liability coverage for a number of educational institutions in 1987, when such coverage was difficult to find due to the insurance crisis.

In this story, we give voice to a student who says she was sexually assaulted by another student.

We have changed the victim’s name to respect her privacy.

Jamie began her Friday night in her dorm room watching TV and playing drinking games

with friends. A few hours later, one of the boys in her room would rape her.

Jamie’s situation isn’t unique.

About 85 to 90 percent of sexual assaults reported by college women are perpetrated by someone known to the victim, according to the National Institute of Justice. Jamie also falls into the 80 percent of females ages 1824 that don’t report their assault to law enforcement, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.

St. James Episcopal closing doors after 160 years As demolition of red church looms, parishoners reflect

By Caroline White

caroline.white@marquette.edu

After standing for 160 years on the 8th block of W. Wisconsin Avenue, St. James Episcopal Church held its last service Nov. 1.

The big red church between St. James Court and Straz Tower has a historic landmark designation and was sold to a local developer, Josh Jeffers, who plans to preserve the church to be used as a wedding chapel, according to a recent article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The decision to close the church came after years of declining membership and failed attempts to raise attendance.

John and Mary Washbush were members of the St. James congregation who were involved with the

church until the very end. The two were on the St. James closing committee, which aided in the transition of the church’s ministries and the sale of the property.

“The parish has been in a development cycle for the past five or six years,” John said. “That didn’t come to the fruition we were hoping for.”

It took over a year and a half to come to the final decision that the church would close its doors.

“That happened this past spring,” John said. “We spent this summer recognizing those who contributed to our ministries and going through the emotional and facilities transition process that goes with dissolving a congregation.”

As one of the lay leaders in the church, Mary was heavily involved in the sale of the building. It has been up for sale since August 2015.

“We originally thought it’d sell fairly quickly,” Mary said. “Three, four or five (potential buyers) came to look, but the space was too large

or too small.”

She said the person buying the building was the first serious offer they received, and came after two years of it being on the market.

“The historic designation was a huge barrier for a number of (potential buyers) and us,” Mary said.

Although 25 members were not enough to keep the doors of the church open, the small congregation was still able to support numerous community service programs. Red Door Clothes, Gathering of Southeast Wisconsin and an indigent burial service were among the church’s biggest community outreach programs. When the church closed, a big priority was finding another place for those services to continue.

“We have worked really hard to close well and make sure the people we served will continue to be served. As much good as we have been able to do ... through how we have distributed our property and what services we’ve tried to

endow,” John said.

During its time open, many Marquette students attended and volunteered at St. James. Its volunteer programs drew many students through their participation in Midnight Run, and some through the celebration of liturgy. Alumna Rev. Dorota Pruski felt the call to her career through her participation at St. James.

“When I was a student, I lived right next to St. James in Straz Tower. I volunteered at the gathering. I was rolling out of bed at 7 a.m. and serving breakfast, and it didn’t occur to me that anything else was happening there,” Pruski said.

Pruski studied political science as a member of the Class of 2006 and worked as a Hall Minister in McCormick Hall from 2008-’10.

She started attending services at St. James in 2007 and remained there until she left to attend seminary in 2010. She was ordained a priest in the summer of 2013 and now works at St. Andrew’s Church

in Madison, Wisconsin.

“I’m really grateful for the love and support that they showed me (at St. James). It’s through (the congregation at St. James) and my experience in that church that I fell in love with the Episcopal church and found a desire to serve the church in a more significant way,” Pruski said.

Although the closing of the church was an emotional experience for the congregation, Mary maintains that the church’s influence in the Milwaukee community will never go away.

“One of our worshippers said, ‘Each one of us is St. James, and when we leave this space each of us will take that piece with us.’ In that way, St. James can never end,” she said. “Knowing that has made the transition easier for us. As we go out and we form new relationships with new communities, we know that we have St. James with us.”

Junior spreads positivity with personal brand POisE’s signature clothing promotes optimistic outlook

By Natallie St. Onge

natallie.stonge@marquette.edu

After watching news stations broadcast negativity on what felt like an every day basis to junior Austin Moutry, he wanted to create a change.

A student in the College of Business Administration, he created a clothing line called Positive Outlook is Everything (POisE), which he said is a movement he hopes to spread further and constantly inspire everyone with. The logo is printed on the clothing and represents the idea that positivity is important for success.

“I thought I should create some-

thing that had a positive meaning toward it,” Moutry said. “We live in a world right now where a lot of crazy things happen and a lot of negativity is being shown.”

With the help of his mother in creating the name, Moutry spent time designing the logo and the overall purpose of the movement to create a powerful fashion line. Then he contacted designers to get it onto the black or white fabric his logo is now printed on today.

Moutry’s next shipment of merchandise will be in on Dec. 25. Twenty percent of the proceeds in the next shipment will be donated to The United Negro College Fund.

Right now, social media such as his Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts, and word of mouth, help to sell his merchandise and spread the message. Moutry is

working to launch a website to sell his clothing.

Moutry said that people will directly message him through social media and tell him how inspiring his movement is.

“They have something to lean back on,” Moutry said. “I feel like I’m doing my job.”

From T-shirts to long-sleeve shirts to hooded sweatshirts, he has been shipping merchandise to several states, including Tennessee, California, Mississippi and Florida.

The prices for the shirts run low, starting at ten dollars.

“I’m a college student and I know I don’t want to be spending outrageously,” Moutry said.

Miles Sigh, a promoter of POisE and a junior at Milwaukee Area Technical College-Mequon Campus, has been a supporter of the message since the beginning.

Clothing brand POisE markets itself as not just a company, but a movement to spread positivity.

“POisE is a movement and is about much more than just the merchandise,” Sigh said.

Isaac Matthias, a junior at University of Wisconsin-Madison said that he is not only a supporter, but regularly wears the clothing.

“Not only is it a reminder to whoever is wearing it to be mindful and have a positive outlook, but it is an easy way to spread the message,” Matthias said.

“The purpose of me doing this is

for people to be mindful,” Moutry said. “So when they see somebody wearing this shirt, they can look and say ‘Am I doing what this shirt is actually saying?’”

For now, Moutry said he is not expecting the line to be a big clothing franchise but instead wants positivity to be more present.

“Everything happens for a reason,” Moutry said. “You have to have a positive outlook. That’s something I really value.”

Milwaukee ticket prices on high end Seats for stadium concerts among highest in nation

By Rachel Kubik

rachel.kubik@marquette.edu

Ticket prices for concerts in Milwaukee are likely to be higher than in other cities, ranking 21 out of 47 cities in the U.S., according to a study by Wanderu, a price aggregator.

However, Milwaukee residents such as Sarah Smith-Pancheri and Marquette students, tended to see ticket prices for concerts as differing.

Smith-Pancheri, vice president of sales and marketing for Summerfest, said tickets for the festival are split into separate tickets, such as show-by-show tickets, general festival tickets and parking tickets. The staff generally tries to keep prices low.

Summerfest is a non-profit organization, and Smith-Pancheri said it is important to the staff when factoring in ticket prices is an option for a reduced price. The sponsors provide ways for festival-goers to get in for free or a reduced rate, and the money Summerfest raises through a private sector helps keep the ticket prices low.

“Summerfest is built on the legacy of making an accessible event for the entire community, in Milwaukee and beyond, so accessibility is our first priority,” she said.

“We’re working with that budget of trying to make sure we can get the best entertainment possible for the lowest possible price,” Smith-Pancheri said.

The Summerfest entertainment group works with artists to figure out ticket pricing, Smith-Pancheri said.

She said it’s an extraordinary value. “It was $20 ticket in 2017 to walk in and see bands like Ludacris, Steve Aoki and the Band Perry.

Bands that could easily sell a hard ticket.” A hard ticket is a ticket that is marketed for the band, not a

He said he thinks that typically, Milwaukee tickets are a little lower than other cities.

“We typically draw from bigger concerts just because of the size of our stadium,” Hochevar said. He described the types of concerts the center hosts as headliners.

“The Rave has smaller shows, sometimes they have some pretty big names. But with us, we have Katy Perry and Lorde coming, and we have had Guns N’ Roses,” he said.

Partnership brings computer science to teachers MU collaborates with Code.org to spread programs

By Josh Anderson

joshua.e.anderson@marquette.edu

As Wisconsin’s only regional Code.org partner, Marquette hosts classes that train local elementary, middle and high school teachers throughout southeastern Wisconsin how to teach computer science in their schools.

During Computer Science Education Week from Dec. 4-10, almost 120 thousand different events will take place to teach students about the field.

In Milwaukee, Marquette’s partnership with Code.org has allowed many local teachers to learn about computer science and teach it more effectively to their students.

Code.org is a national nonprofit dedicated to expanding

access to computer science, especially among women and minority groups. They offer free resources that teach students of all ages the basics of computer science. In order to increase their impact, Code.org has partnered with over 50 regional partners across the United States.

The middle and high school classes consist of five days of classes in the summer followed by four quarterly workshops throughout the school year.

Dennis Brylow, an associate professor of mathematics, statistics and computer science, said teachers attending these classes often have little to no computer science experience.

During the workshops, Marquette faculty demonstrate how a class might be taught to attendees, who in turn develop their own lesson plans and present them to each other.

Marquette hosted an elementary class Saturday, Dec. 2.

Brylow, who taught the class, said it was held this weekend in preparation for Computer

Science Education Week.

“They’re pretty brave to come volunteer for this, and they’ve got a lot to learn in a short amount of time,” Brylow said.

Gina Marchionda-Schneider and Ed Schreiber are teachers at Lakeshore Elementary in Fond du Lac who began using Code. org last year with their school’s computer coding club, but they said they attended the Dec. 2 class to learn how to use the curricula more effectively.

“We’ve been using (Code. org) without any support, so we wanted to actually meet people that would help us use it more efficiently and help kids faster,” Marchionda-Schneider said.

They both said they agreed that the Code.org content has been a great teaching tool for their students.

“They like the freedom of moving along at their own pace, and they like being able to do things on their own,” Marchionda-Schneider said.

“I’ve never heard a student say anything negative about it,”

MU partners with Code.org to expand computer science curriculums.

Schreiber said.

Mary Beth LaHaye also attended the elementary class Dec. 2. She is a math coach at Ronald Reagan Elementary in New Berlin and has been using Code.org resources with her students ever since it was released four years ago. She said through computer science, many of her students have found new levels

of success.

“There are kids who might not be the best readers who are phenomenal at visual problem solving and learning from their mistakes,” LaHaye said. “I’ve had kids come up to me and say, ‘You know what, I made a mistake, but I know I can try again because it’s making my brain stronger.’”

Native American history honored at Raynor Month dedicated to commemorating indigenous past

By Grace Connatser

sarah.connaster@marquette.edu

Raynor Memorial Library brought awareness to Native American Heritage Month during November with several displays of books by Native American authors and artifacts from the library’s special collections.

Elisa Coghlan, coordinator of marketing and outreach and a member of the Events and Exhibits Com-

mittee, said the annual displays for Native American Heritage Month are designed to not only honor Native Americans but also to educate people on their history and contributions to society.

She said libraries have a responsibility and calling to educate and inspire people to learn more about the world around them.

Coghlan said the library tries to “capitalize on the expertise” of academic resources that the university has access to in order to enrich how Raynor highlights certain facets of Native American history and culture.

“A deep principle of people who work in libraries is encouraging

people to learn: to get the bigger picture,” Coghlan said. “There’s an emphasis on presenting Native Americans as a people with a rich history and a rich culture.”

Mark Thiel, archivist in the library’s special collections and university archives, has managed the university’s Native American collections for 30 years. Raynor focuses on Native American relationships with the Catholic Church demonstrated by the university’s collection of records from the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions, which takes up about 85 percent of the collections.

Thiel said Marquette’s large amount of archival information has attracted

many graduate students and Ph.D. candidates to the school.

“Over the years, we’ve had a number of Ph.D. students here that became students simply because of the collections here,” Thiel said. “(The variety of collections) definitely does attract students to Marquette.”

Tara Baillargeon, the head of the Research and Instructional Services Department, said the displays also draw attention to the various digital resources Raynor has to offer, such as the Digital Scholarship Lab. Students and faculty can use infographics, databases, desktop publishing and other tools in the lab to make research more collaborative.

The use of those tools, she said, makes research more meaningful and allows people to study all sides of an issue and better understand it as a whole. Baillargeon’s hope is that the displays will spark a connection between student researchers and library professionals.

“I think (the displays are) an opportunity to make a connection between ways that our department can help faculty and students while highlighting Native American Heritage Month,” Baillargeon said.

“The goal is to present an opportunity to highlight the contributions that Native Americans have made to this country,” Baillargeon said.

Secret Santa guide Helpful hints to stay anonymous, give good gifts to friends

By Kelli Arseneau

kelli.arseneau@marquette.edu

When students agree to gift exchanges, they often put the fate of their holiday cheer in the hands of their friends. They could end up heading home with candy, slippers or a pack of toilet paper.

As the seasonal cheer spreads,

people everywhere look to show love and appreciation for the people in their lives through exchanging presents. One of the most popular ways of doing this is through a Secret Santa, an anonymous gift exchange. It’s fun and practical, so large groups of friends can share gifts and festivities without each person feeling responsible to get a present for everyone in the group.

Unfortunately, the holiday season is one of the busiest and most stressful times of the year for students, and all the studying and

preparation for finals can make planning a holiday seem overwhelming. But there’s no need to fear: Here is a brief guide to help in taking part in a successful, stress-free holiday tradition.

idea of his or her interests, likes or at least favorite type of candy.

See if someone else in the giftgiving group knows the person better before guessing and giving someone a gift they won’t enjoy.

Know your target.

If the group of people doing the exchange are not all close friends and do not all know each other well, consider having them write down gift ideas on the same piece of paper as their name. If participants do not provide gift ideas, try to at least get a general

Be creative.

Part of the fun of a Secret Santa gift exchange is the gifts people come up with to give to their recipient. A gift that had thought put into it is much more special than a generic one that could be gifted to anyone.

“Make it personal, and make it original,” Amy Harrigan, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said. “Don’t just buy a gift card. That’s lame.”

Decide if the gifts will be more traditional or White Elephant.

It can be fun to keep the exchange light-hearted. Sometimes gag gifts are just as fun as traditional presents. Danny Yadgir, a junior in the College of Communication, recently did a Secret Santa Exchange with fellow resident assistants in Abbottsford.

“I got a really quirky gift. We just did a bunch of silly gifts… so I got toilet paper,” he said.

But it is important to clarify this beforehand, to avoid some people receiving heartfelt presents and others receiving toilet paper.

Keep it practical.

Think about giving gifts that are not going to require more work than the receiver wants to commit.

“Don’t get them like a plant or something because then they have to take care of it,” Barbara Sammut, a freshman in the College of Engineering, said.

Unless, of course, the receiver asks for one. Likewise, a gift that requires many directions to assemble usually doesn’t make the best Secret Santa present.

Kappa Delta Sorority had a secret santa gift exchange at their chapter house. Everyone who lives there joined.

Set budget guidelines and stay within them.

Don’t be too cheap. No one wants a disappointing gift, especially after they’ve put time into giving a thoughtful, heartfelt present to someone else. Wesley Daniels, a junior in the College of Communication, is not a

particularly huge fan of Secret Santa exchanges due to his disappointing experiences in grade school.

“I get like a candy bar, and then I get someone else something really nice and then it’s like, all right, I was kind of ripped off,” Daniels said.

On the other side, don’t buy anything too expensive, such as the infamous “The Office” Christmas episode (Season 2, Episode 10), where Michael Scott buys a $400 gift in a $20 maximum-budget gift exchange, spending extravagant amounts on one present will just make everyone else feel uncomfortable.

Plan on how gifts will be exchanged.

Will gifts be given at a party, or dropped off in their room during the day? Will everyone reveal their name on the present/card, or leave clues to make the recipient guess who was their Secret Santa? If not, explicitly decided ahead of time, the details of how the gifts are to be exchanged can become unclear and result in a confusion or ruined surprises.

Keep it secret.

Secrecy is a key point of Secret Santa, hence the name. Half the fun of the exchange is taken away if someone already knows who is giving them a present. In general, sharing the name of the person you drew should be avoided, because process of elimination can also ruin surprises.

Professors dish on their favorite holiday flicks Faculty members reminisce on favorite Christmas movies

By Mikala Hershman

mikala.hershman@marquette.edu

With most people focused on buying Christmas trees and decorating their house for the holidays, Christmas movies are one element of the holiday season that often gets overlooked. But professors were not sleeping on their favorites.

Dave Wilcox: professional in residence in the College of Communication Favorite Christmas movies include: “A Christmas Carol” and “The Lemon Drop Kid” Wilcox said that he has two absolute favorite Christmas flicks for the holiday season. “A Christmas Carol” and “The Lemon Drop Kid” were remakes of original 1930s films, and both movies were released in 1951.

“The first is the production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ starring Alastair Sim,” he said. “There were other remakes of the classic Charles Dickens story, but to me, this is the real deal.”

Wilcox said he loves it because of the lack of special effects.

“Being 1951, it’s in black and white and the special effects are not too special. It relies far more on the acting and direction, which is why I

like it so much,” Wilcox said.

His other favorite movie is “The Lemon Drop Kid,” starring the famous comedian Bob Hope.

“It plays the title character for laughs, although the original version from the 1930s played it far more as originally written by Damon Runyon,” he said. “Funny, and a true representation of films of the time. “ Anne Pleva: assistant professor in the College of Health Sciences Favorite Christmas movies include: “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” Pleva said that the popular Christmas comedy starring Chevy Chase is “a timeless comedy that allows you to escape into silliness.

Everyone can relate to a character or situation in the movie.”

Erin Hasting: part-time faculty member in the College of Arts & Sciences Favorite Christmas movies include: “Eloise at Christmastime” and “Die Hard” For Hasting, the movie signifies not only the month of December, but also that Christmastime is finally here.

“It is surprisingly not centered around beliefs, magic or mass consumption,” she said. “But instead focuses on being there for each other and spreading cheer.”

However, Hasting’s other favorite Christmas movie is a bit of a controversial one — “Die Hard,”

an action movie starring Bruce Willis. The movie is not often considered a holiday film due to its genre, but the plot of the movie does surround the rugged, bald bad-boy saving his marriage in time for Christmas. Hasting said that is why she loves it. “‘Eloise at Christmas time,’ like the ending of ‘Die Hard,’ leaves you satisfied and ready to face the fact that it is indeed December and Christmas time

already,” Hasting said.

Kati Berg: assistant professor in the College of Communication Favorite Christmas movies: Romantic comedies The movies Berg enjoys now vary greatly from those she was interested in as a child. Her Christmas movie choice has become more lighthearted than in the past.

“To be honest, I am not much of a movie person because I am super picky about movies,” she

said. “But with that, I said I always watched ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ as a kid with my family, but it is way too depressing now.”

Presently, she says she’s more into romantic comedies like “Love Actually.”

“These days, I am recording all sorts of sappy Hallmark holiday movies to watch as soon as my grades are submitted,” she said.

A cappella troups give back to cancer research Singing groups feel bond that they think parallels fraternities

By Reilly Tracy

With the hopes of making someone’s Christmas season a little merrier, Marquette’s three resident a cappella groups got into the spirit of giving this holiday season. All of their proceeds from their holiday concert, “Hope for the Holidays,” which took place this past weekend, were donated to Froedtert Cancer Research Center, to spread some holiday cheer to cancer patients and their families.

The all-female group Meladies participated in “Hope for the Holidays.” They sang “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” and “Walking in a Winter Wonderland,” as well as a fourth number, “O Holy Night.”

The Naturals, led by President Michael Nicholas, a senior in the College of Communication,

sang “The Christmas Song,” “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and “Christmas Baby Please Come Home.”

The completely male group has been harmonizing for 15 years and this semester, the group consists of 16 members ranging across all grade levels. Danny Pankow, a sophomore in the College of Business, has been part of the group since freshman year.

The group gets along well and has a sense of cohesiveness. “(It’s) kind of like a fraternity,” Pankow said. “We’re all really close.”

Despite these bonds, they do get competitive. The process for the opportunity to sing a solo in a performance consists of auditioning within the group and seeing which voice is the best fit for the piece. For this particular holiday showcase, the Christmas album by the famous a cappella group Pentatonix was one of the Natural’s main influence.

“We typically use Pentatonix songs as inspiration for blending and arrangement,” Pankow said.

The coed group, Gold n’ Blues,

seems to be particularly close as well. The group was founded in 2008 and has since grown, typically consisting of 13-18 members, but varying a bit every semester. Madeline Goode, a senior in the College of Nursing, joined her freshman year. Goode has been their president for the past year and a half.

Goode said that everyone is “really good friends that act as an on-campus family.”

Even though they get along, Goode said that they make it a point to work hard.

“We all work really hard together to produce good music and perform well, but we all really enjoy spending time together and serving as a support system for each other,” Goode said. “And I think that dynamic of friendship comes across in our music.”

For this year’s Christmas show the group sang “Oh Holy Night,” “Deck the Halls” and “That’s Christmas to Me” by Pentatonix.

Lisa Durrant, a senior in the College of Nursing and a member of the Gold n’ Blues since freshman

year, said that the arrangement was the same to the Pentatonix song “That’s Christmas to Me.” “We had each voice part do one of the voices in Pentatonix and we split the girls into two voice parts- soprano and alto- and the boys into three parts -tenor, baritone and bass,” Durrant said.

Kate Ruffino, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, said that she thought the perfor-

mance went well and she was happy to use her vocal gifts for a good cause.

“Our group tends to get very excited to perform our setlist during concerts, and we are thrilled to show our friends and families all the work we have done,” Ruffino said. “(We have) so much fun in rehearsals, but also take them seriously so we can have the best performances possible.”

Naughty or nice: Best, worst Christmas songs

7A

Favorite holiday hits top charts while others fail to impress

By Brendan Attey

brendan.attey@marquette.edu

Naughty

e c i N List

List

The day after Thanksgiving, radios and department stores cue up holiday tunes and Spotify advertises its seasonal playlists. With plenty of music to listen to, it can be hard to pin down a favorite, so in honor of the 12 days of Christmas, here are 12 of the best and worst seasonal songs.

“The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)”

This might as well just be any song done by the Chipmunks. It’s annoying, it’s not cute and anybody who likes it shouldn’t get any presents. I hate this song because I don’t like shrill voices screaming demands in my ear.

“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”

Alright, there’s a lot to unpack here. First of all, just from the title, I’m wondering how whoever wrote this song thought it would go in a good direction. It lends itself to too many unanswered questions. Is it the kid’s dad? Is she just telling the child that it was Santa Claus because he walked in on them? Or was it actually Santa Claus, and he decided to ditch the whole “presents” thing to spend the night with this random kid’s mom? I do not like this song, regardless of the correct answers to my many questions.

“Deck the Halls”

It sounds like the type of song that would play year-round in a department store. Plus, the “fa-la-la-la-la” melody makes me think I’ve gone insane due to the inability to get it out of my head for the remainder of the year. It’s not a creative song, and it just doesn’t do it for me.

“Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”

Normally, the schadenfreude of this song would be enough to make me love it, but it’s just not very catchy. It’s a little annoying, and I feel like they could’ve done more with this. I’m not asking for graphic details or anything, but I at least want to feel like I was there.

“Mistletoe” by Justin Bieber

This song is typical of Bieber. I’m sure it’s a crowd pleaser as most everything he touches seems to reach the tops of the charts, but personally it doesn’t capture me. It’s just a little too sappy, slow, and emotional. Admittedly, I’m probably just jealous because all the girls in high school fell in love with him during this music video, ending my already slim chances of getting asked to the winter dance.

“All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey

A universally-loved song, and possibly the best Christmas song to sing along to at the holidays, this one is a classic. If Mariah Carey belting out that you’re all she wants for Christmas doesn’t put you in a good mood, then I’m not sure the Christmas season is for you.

“Jingle Bells” by Michael Buble

He has a smooth voice, the lyrics are soothing and it makes me feel like I’m at my grandma’s house. Buble captures the nostalgic, croonertype feel, while still engaging modern audiences. This one is just nice to listen to.

“Feliz Navidad”

It’s so catchy, and most people love to sing along. This song is also one that sounds like no other, and uniqueness is always a plus, as many Christmas songs can tend to blend together.

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”

Being the contrarian that I am, usually hearing a message like this pounded home over and over would make me want to argue with someone that Christmas is actually a materialistic sham, and that it’s a terrible time of year. But this one’s pretty catchy, so I’ll let it live. There are many versions of this one, but as a song in general, its lyrics help to get the listener feeling excited for the holidays, which is the whole point of Christmas music after all.

“Hanukkah Song” by Adam Sandler

Everybody should love this one, even if it’s not a Christmas song.

Adam Sandler gets a lot of grief for being a mediocre, one-sided actor. But nonetheless, this is a classic bit of his and it deserves to be on this list.

The closing music from “Home Alone”

I love this song, and this movie, even if Kevin actually does some pretty messed up things to the burglars. But the ending is sweet, and I’ll never forget the closing theme. It’s iconic, and sure to get anyone in the right spirits for the season.

“We Wish You a Merry Christmas”

The thing I don’t like about this song is how “a happy new year” sneaks in here. I think the song should have to pick a theme. However, it’s more endearing than it is creepy, so it makes the Nice List. Still, Christmas music should be about Christmas.

STAFF EDITORIAL

ICIJ report may lead to speculation On Nov. 17, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists published an article that listed more than 100 universities and colleges found to have connections with offshore accounts, Marquette University among them.

The ICIJ is famous for hard-hitting investigative work, including the Paradise Papers: Secrets of the Global Elite, a data dump of more than 13 million documents detailing mass fiscal corruption among some of the world’s largest political and financial leaders.

This list of colleges and universities, however, does not deliver the context necessary for the information to be productive. It failed to give readers a holistic understanding of what exactly the data means, leading readers to believe the worst of the institutions included in the report.

The ICIJ does fantastic reporting, but because of the nature of their work, it is even more important that the information they convey is immune to speculation so as not to sour the reputations of institutions that may be using these accounts legitimately.

It is not inherently illegal to utilize offshore companies. A lot of institutions do, namely for asset protection and investment diversification.

It is true that these companies have often facilitated corruption, but they are not in and of themselves necessarily corrupt.

While the ICIJ acknowledges this, the disclaimer only appears after clicking a link within the original article. The primary story references a New York Times investigation of tax evasion by colleges and universities, implying that the institutions included in the report are among them.

Reporting that doesn’t quite speculate but still implies correlations that may not exist is not accountable journalism.

Public data is public data, and individuals can gather information for themselves if they so choose. But

journalism is not just gathering data.

Now more than ever it is important for journalists to be transparent in their reporting. It is hard for reporters to meet expectations set by people seemingly predisposed to distrust them. Because of this, transparent reporting that provides as much context as possible is crucial.

It is the editorial responsibility of journalists to provide facts, and also to provide context so readers can assign appropriate value to those facts.

Whistleblowing sites like Wikileaks that rely on large data dumps from unnamed sources fall into an ethical gray area. Public disclosure of information is vital to maintaining a well-informed electorate, which is why journalism exists in the first place. But without the proper context, these massive hauls of data can be easily misconstrued.

Information on these sites is publicly accessible, so an average citizen can do what they wish with it.

They don’t have the same obligation to the public interest as journalists do. Just as medical doctors are required to take the Hippocratic Oath, journalists should hold themselves

accountable to a more rigid standard of ethics.

Despite the current perceived public distrust of the media, people need journalism. Information empowers society. If the information is allowed to be muddled by speculation and guilty-by-association rationales, then it serves no purpose at all.

Reilly Harrington Call me old-fashioned, but Nazi ideology and white nationalism should not be acceptable lifestyles for American citizens in 2017.

Last week, The New York Times published a profile of Tony and Maria Hovater, two white nationalists, under the title “A Voice of Hate in America’s Heartland.”

This piece looked into their day-to-day lives, discussing the couple’s wedding plans, Tony’s appreciation for Seinfeld, and the couple’s mutual belief in the separation of the races. One of those topics doesn’t quite seem to fit when listed alongside the others. And yet, the author of the piece, as well as the editorial staff of The New York Times, felt each of these topics deserved equal coverage. This kind of passive and “fair” attitude in coverage of white nationalism is incredibly dangerous as it normalizes hateful ideologies.

It’s astounding to think that in an increasingly polarized political landscape, fair and balanced coverage is being given to groups who believe in concepts such as white ethno-states. This is especially alarming considering Hovater believes the biggest threat to white nationalist ideas is the less “normal” supporters of their beliefs. An American man sympathetic to the ideas of Adolf Hitler wants to be viewed as a normal citizen, so his NYT profile discusses his love of National Public Radio and his charming Midwestern manners. When a reporter is interviewing someone who proudly discusses their admiration of fascism, more emphasis should be put on the dangers of fascism rather than the subject’s “Twin Peaks” tattoo.

This NYT profile is not an isolated incident. Profiles of prominent white nationalists, such as Richard Spencer, have an alarming tendency to describe how “normal” these people seem despite their hateful beliefs. While the argument could be made that this is a choice by the authors to highlight how these horrible ideas can be supported by the “Average Joe,” it provides these Nazis with platforms to reach susceptible audiences. These are fringe groups

that are creeping into the mainstream. They have been around for decades but were viewed as too radical or incendiary. Their hateful rhetoric is slowly being normalized by not only the lack of condemnation from the President but by the misguided depiction of their groups in the mass media as well.

The Hovater profile caused an incredible, and justified, amount of backlash, and the NYT editorial staff and author of the article both posted responses. The editors apologized for the unintended offense they caused their readers, which seemed genuine enough. The author, Richard Fausset, responded in a bizarre fashion. He claimed he was trying to pinpoint what made a seemingly normal man like Tony Hovater come to believe in such horrible ideologies. But he didn’t have a concrete answer. As a result of this inconclusive interview and research, the story was published in its controversial form. However, when providing a profile of a man who believes that democracy doesn’t work and the races should not intermix, highlighting the damaging effects these ideas have should be the primary concern.

The growing Nazi movement is a cancer in American society that is being ignored by our President and unintentionally normalized by our media institutions. These kinds of ideas have very real and dangerous consequences. The public shouldn’t be able to relate to people who want to do away with democracy and keep races segregated, or even worse, subjugated. This portrayal of the nebulous “alt-right” as a subversively normal movement in American politics will only get more people killed and will only give support to hate groups. Thankfully, the Hovaters were both fired by their employers for the beliefs they displayed in the article, which is the only effect profiles like this should have. Outing supporters of Nazism, white nationalism and white supremacy should have damaging effects on their livelihoods, not provide them with a platform to spread their hateful rhetoric.

Microtransactions from EA unethical Jackson Dufault Last month, publisher Electronic Arts released their awaited game, “Star Wars Battlefront 2.”

It looked to correct the flaws with the highly criticized first installment. Some promises of improvements were fulfilled, but the large developer made one grave error in their game: implementing obnoxious microtransactions.

Microtransactions are extra charges that video game developers put in place in order for users to access certain parts of a game. Microtransactions can unlock content someone can earn with play time, or they can unlock content that is locked unless the user pays.

When I buy a product, I expect to have access to everything it offers. While add-ons are commonplace in many industries, such as the cell phone industry, there are times when corporations go too far with their charges. One industry where this is a major problem is the video game industry.

In this instance, EA put a paywall on some of the playable characters in the game, so users had to pay real money in order to get immediate access to them.

While these characters were still accessible if the person decided to put a lot of time into the game, they could be accessed immediately if the user decided to pay extra money.

This decision was met with an incredible amount of backlash from the community. An EA developer’s response on Reddit became the most down-voted comment in the history of the website.

But it doesn’t end there. It was reported that EA lost nearly $3 billion in stock value after the backlash. In response, EA decided to remove all incriminating microtransactions from their game.

Whether these charges will be returned to the game or not is left to be seen.

This response was a long time coming. Perhaps EA, who is no stranger to heavy criticism (they were voted the worst company in America in 2013) had to be the sacrificial lamb for this. In reality, EA is not the only publisher that has been overusing microtransactions.

Though there are several issues with microtransactions, they are not illegal in any way. There isn’t any sort of regulation or

“

restriction that prevents video game companies from doing whatever they can imagine with microtransactions or downloadable content. The gaming industry can do something about this situation before the government steps in. But in order to do that, these companies need to realize how unethical these microtransactions are.

One of the most insulting aspects of microtransactions, such as the ones in “Battlefront,” is that the game itself is not free. It totes a full $60 price tag, which is a normal price for video games, but should be enough to exclude microtransactions that affect the g a m e .

This creates the principle of “pay to win,” meaning that users can pay extra to gain a larger advantage. In this case, players can simply purchase characters that instantly make them better instead of earning them after a certain amount of time. This principle is OK in free games, but it’s unacceptable with paid games.

With that said, microtransactions are not all bad. There are some microtransactions that do not have a direct effect on gameplay. These are called cosmetic microtransactions. Cosmetic microtransactions can alter something about the game that doesn’t have a direct effect on the outcome of the game, such as different outfits for a player’s character.

These are acceptable forms of microtransactions, even in games that cost money. The reason being that they can’t give the player an advantage in any way. Video game companies should rely more heavily on implementing these.

The type of charges that affect gameplay in paid games are unfair to the consumer. When I pay money for a video game, I expect to have access to all of its base content. Having a system where one can simply buy something instead of having to earn it defeats the purpose of the game entirely. Why spend any time playing a game, trying to earn something, when you can just pay an extra $10 and get it immediately? Microtransactions destroy the whole purpose of working toward something.

These companies need to realize how unethical these microtransactions are.”

Political apathy for privileged

Photo courtesy of Aminah Beg

Columnist Aminah Beg and her mother (right) pose for photo at a family member’s wedding.

Aminah Beg When my mom and I are walking across a beach in Florida, and are grossly screamed at for being “terrorists,” we are forced to talk about politics.

We are forced to talk about how Trump allows racists and xenophobes to feel comfortable with their beliefs and how they see no difficulty putting us all in one “terrorist” box. My mother, other Muslims and I cannot ignore the islamophobic rhetoric being thrown out by Fox News because the rhetoric treads upon the foundational beliefs of who we are.

When African American children are told to sit at the back of the bus by their own driver, which truly happened after Trump’s election, they are forced to face what is happening to their own community. They ask their parents why, for some insane reason, an adult would not give them the same treatment their white counterparts receive.

Their parents would, disappointed, try to explain why African Americans are often abused and mistreated because of the color of their skin.

When countless women are not treated with respect by a criminal justice system that allows those who sexually abused them to get out of jail after being incarcerated for a mere three months, while they experience mental struggles every day, they must recognize the problem with our governance systems. They must teach their

daughters to not wear headphones at night and keep their keys between their fingers.

These groups, and many more, are pushed into political conversations because they do not have the same privilege others are born with. Some people never even reflect on these issues and claim “I don’t talk politics” while their coworkers or peers are discussing heavy subjects.

These people that “don’t talk politics” have the privilege to not talk about politics because their foundational beliefs and the characteristics they cannot change do not affect their daily treatment. These types of people must recognize their status and not be apathetic toward the genuine problems other people face.

By categorizing politics as a touchy and sensitive subject, people are allowed to run away from the subject and feel like it is acceptable to do so. Now, whenever I want to discuss political debates and vocalize my opinions, I feel like a political extremist. I can hear the mental groan of my peers when I share my stories and how they impact my political choices. People should not feel ashamed or resistant to be politically active because the topic is too complex or “hard to get into.”

Even if people do care, they should not feel uncomfortable talking about it. The only way that any action will occur is if conversations about these issues happen. It should not become a burden to talk about the activities of our government.

Some people might openly converse about their political ideologies but just not recognize

issues as problematic the same way that others do. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but people should be able to listen and discuss with those who do not share the same perspective. It is important to be open to their experiences and not disregard their explanations. The responsibility of the privileged is to listen to the personal stories and points of view of those who do not share their background.

Through these vocalized experiences, they hope to make others realize the importance and need for talking politics.

With the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, the abolishing of Obama’s health care plan, the repeal of DACA, and much more, Trump has negatively impacted millions of Americans.

These Americans are, at most, fighting against and protesting in the streets. At minimum, these Americans are discussing the difficulties caused within their community. Either direction a person chooses, at least they are not apathetic toward the concerns. They cannot choose to be apathetic to the ways Trump has begun to destroy the country and their lives. We should not feel embarrassed or radical when choosing to contest apathy and fight the good fight.

For those who think it’s suitable to ignore politics and not talk about it, please realize the serious and detrimental effects it has on others, and start the conversation.

Fans have witnessed thrillers, memorable games over years

“Let us enter the New Year with brave hearts prepared to meet the most critical period we may ever face.”

This was the inscription on the Marquette Tribune in the first issue of the second semester, released Jan. 3, 1918. Updates from World War I dominated the 12-page paper. Additionally, the Tribune revised the honor roll list to include where the soon-tobe soldiers were stationed across the country and along the Western Front. While campus and the rest of the country were focused on the Great War, there was one sports article. It was a monthold basketball story recapping a tightly-contested affair between Marquette and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Dec. 19, 1917, the first basketball game ever played between the two schools.

Wisconsin narrowly defeated Marquette, 15-14, in the first meeting. With the game tied at 14-14 and the Badgers with possession, Wisconsin team

captain William Chandler drew a foul. The timekeeper said the game clock expired before the foul was called, but the referees did not hear the signal. As a result, Chandler went to the free-throw line and sank the game-winning shot.

Marquette head coach Jack Ryan protested, but it went unheard and Wisconsin won.

The former Milwaukee Journal’s sports section wrote a three-paragraph story. One sentence indicated the start of a budding rivalry: “It was reported that the Marquette team would meet the Badgers again next season.”

A century later, the Golden Eagles and Badgers will meet again in Madison, the place where it all began. Since that first game, the two schools have combined to produce an astounding 95 NBA players, 51 NCAA All-Americans and two NCAA national championships. The two schools have met each other almost every year since 1930, regardless of whether they were dismal or nationally ranked. Players, coaches and fans have graduated or died, but the passion has never swayed.

The series used to divide the state more than once per year, as the two teams played a

home-and-away series every year from 1933 to 1951, among other stretches in program history. No matter where the game was held, fans would come out in droves to watch the drama.

A major flashpoint for the rivalry came in 1930 when Chandler, the player who hit the game-winning foul shot in the first matchup to beat Marquette, was hired as Marquette’s coach.

He eventually became the longest-tenured coach in program history, totaling 193 victories in Milwaukee, and only 40 behind Al McGuire’s mark as the coach with the most wins in Marquette basketball history.

Chandler was not the only one to switch sides. Players Doug Gill and Rube Schulz committed to the Badgers in the class of 1950. Schulz stayed for his freshman orientation week at Wisconsin and by Saturday morning, he and Gill had enough. He borrowed his friend’s car and drove to Milwaukee, where Marquette team officials met them to accept the two players’ request to transfer. Gill and Schulz helped lead the Warriors to their firstever NCAA Tournament, where they lost in the Elite Eight.

As a result, Bud Foster, Wisconsin’s head coach at the time, refused to play the Warriors for

three seasons. Longtime Milwaukee Journal sports editor Bob Wolf, who was a student

manager for Wisconsin a few years before the incident, wrote HISTORY, see page 16A

MU-UW rivalry delivered five defining moments

Since Marquette and Wisconsin’s first game in 1917, the two teams have faced each other 123 times, with the series favoring Wisconsin 66-57. With the two schools facing off for the 124th time this Saturday, here are the top five moments in the rivalry’s history: 1917: The Beginning of a Rivalry Marquette’s first clash with the Badgers came after Wisconsin had already been in the NCAA for 20 years. Wisconsin won 15-14, a score made possible by the lack of a shot clock. Wisconsin was led by head coach Walter Meanwell, who already racked up three national championships for Wisconsin prior to the NCAA era.

1944: Poaching Gene Berce Future New York Knicks guard Gene Berce initially committed to Wisconsin. He was there for one day before head coach Bud Foster told him he had to make the team before receiving a scholarship.

Marquette head coach Bill Chandler seized the opportunity and immediately offered Berce a scholarship. Berce took Chandler’s deal.

The next week, Marquette played Wisconsin and Berce scored 22 points in a victory against his former institution. Foster later said he regretted his decision to let Berce go.

1974: The Buzzer-Beater Head coach Al McGuire was at the height of his reign at Marquette.

The Warriors were gunning for their ninth straight victory over the Badgers. Wisconsin was up nine points in the second half and looked like they’d snap Marquette’s streak, but a mass of turnovers and missed free throws led to a 59-58 Warriors win after a Maurice Photo by Matthew Serafin matthew.serafin@marquette.edu Lucas buzzer-beater.

2001: What Happened, Marquette?

With a roster led by freshman all-star Dwyane Wade, Marquette rattled off 10 straight wins to start the season and appeared to be 40 minutes away from an easy win against its in-state rival. Instead, an unranked Badgers team with a 4-6 record trounced Marquette, 86-73. Wisconsin’s Kirk Penny dropped a career-high 33 points and teammate Mike Wilkinson came off the bench to score a double-double. It’s still the Badgers’ most lopsided victory against Marquette since 2000.

2015: Ellenson shines, Fischer seals victory Marquette freshman power forward Henry Ellenson scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, but that didn’t stop the second half from getting heated. After trailing by 14 points, the Badgers tied the game at 55-55 with just over a minute left. Luke Fischer, a sophomore at the time, got a rebound off a missed Ellenson jumper with under 30 seconds left and laid it back in to give the Golden Eagles the lead. As time ran down, Wisconsin missed a 3-pointer and was forced to foul with five seconds to go. Marquette’s Haanif Cheatham missed, but Fischer gathered the rebound to seal a 57-55 Marquette victory. It was the first time in 40 years that Wisconsin lost three non-conference home games in the same season.

Schlundt family adds personal touch to Wisconsin feud Terrell played for Marquette, but T.J. went to Wisconsin

By Zoe Comerford

isabel.comerford@marquette.edu

When Marquette travels to the University of Wisconsin-Madison this Saturday, former NBA player Terrell Schlundt will have a dilemma deciding whether to cheer for his alma mater or his son’s team.

Schlundt, a four-year starter for Marquette from 1979-’83, has a son, T.J., a redshirt junior with the Badgers. The Schlundts have similar builds; Terrell was a 6-foot-7 forward and T.J. is a 6-foot-5 guard.

T.J. inherited something more important than height from his father: a strong work ethic. “(He taught me) the hardworking characteristic, never putting your foot off the accelerator,” T.J. said. “Just keep going 110 percent all the time and never being satisfied.”

Terrell sees another quality passed on from father to son: a sweet shot. “I would say that if he’s inherited one of (my) traits, it would be the ability to shoot the ball,” Terrell said.

Terrell’s shooting ability was so impressive that he was selected in the seventh round of the NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks, which may have actually dissuaded T.J. from choosing Marquette.

“I just kind of wanted to make the decision to make my own path and not follow in my dad’s

footsteps, per se,” T.J. said. “Just create my own path and create my own name.”

Hiding an obvious Marquette bias was the hardest part of the process for Terrell. “Deep down inside I would’ve loved him to have gone to Marquette,” Terrell said. “But he made a decision to go his own way

which I respected.”

When T.J. was younger, his father had Marquette season basketball tickets. Until his sophomore year of high school, both Schlundts attended every Marquette home game.

“He had a passion for the game, as did I,” Terrell said. “He would go

to the games with his face painted up with the blue and gold … We had a blast.”

Going to games was just part of the Schlundts’ father-son time.

Terrell made sure to spend hours on the practice court with his son, mentoring him every step of the way.

“When he had an interest in playing basketball, I was right there with him hand-in-hand, getting in the gym, coaching him,” Terrell said.

Since T.J. started playing for Wisconsin, Terrell has refrained from wearing either Wisconsin or Marquette apparel, instead choosing to wear nondescript black attire.

“That first game was a weird one because I didn’t know how I was going to respond,” Terrell said. “I would like to see both teams do well, but I have to admit I’m pulling for my son even though my roots go down to the Marquette ranks.”

T.J’s experiences at Wisconsin bring back fond memories of Terrell’s playing days with the thenMarquette Warriors, although the son does have one thing the father doesn’t.

“He’s got a Final Four ring,” Terrell said. “He asked me how many Final Four rings I had at one point along the way, which I had to tell him I didn’t have any.”

Terrell still has his Marquette season tickets and comes to the BMO Harris Bradley Center all the time, although he awaits the day when he can come back with his son.

“I can certainly see a day not too far in the distant future where we’re gonna be going to the MarquetteWisconsin game and I’ll have on my Marquette gear and he’ll have on his Wisconsin gear and we’ll be going at it head-to-head,” Terrell said.

One-finger salute: Vulgar photo captures in-state feud Legendary coach provoked parent of Wisconsin siblings

By Brendan Ploen, John Hand and Brian Boyle Mike Gonring’s copy of the photograph is signed by Al McGuire and reads, “Happiness is beating Wisconsin.” Bob Wolfley has a copy of the picture at his home. Even former Wisconsin guard Dale Koehler possesses a version of the image marking one of the most grueling losses in Badger history.

“It was completely inappropriate, completely obnoxious, completely Al McGuire and completely awesome to Marquette fans,” Wolfley, a Marquette Class of 1974 senior said.

Forty-three years later, the photo lives on and dives deep into the heart of the now-century old Marquette-University of Wisconsin-Madison rivalry.

It’s a Tuesday night in February 1974. The Wisconsin Badgers traveled 80 miles east for a chance to score a victory against their in-state rivals for the first time in five years. Milwaukee Sentinel photographer Bob Miller knew the best way he could capture the moment was to follow Al McGuire.

The moment Miller captured perfectly summed up Marquette’s dramatic win.

Several minutes before the photo was taken, McGuire found himself down 52-45 to the Badgers with 4:48 left in the game.

Wisconsin saw a victory on the horizon, but three consecutive turnovers allowed Marquette to pull itself back into contention.

Down 58-57 with 17 seconds left, Marquette fouled Wisconsin big man Kim Hughes, who missed a bonus free throw just a few minutes prior. Before he could redeem himself, McGuire called timeout.

Hughes missed both free throws.

Maurice Lucas, a 6-foot-9 power forward with NBA-ready basketball skills but hardly any perimeter shooting skills, grabbed the rebound and began dribbling the ball with only seconds on the clock. He briefly fumbled it, regained control, and let it fly. The ball soared about 20 feet across the court.

Swish.

“The place, it was the loudest indoor noise I have ever heard,” said Mike Gonring, Marquette basketball’s sports information director at the time. “It was incredible roar with this blizzard going on outside. I know friends of mine that conceived that night and named their child Luke. It was unbelievable.”

In the midst of the mayhem and jubilation, McGuire knew

Glenn Hughes was not afraid to express his feelings towards Marquette head coach Al McGuire after Maurice Lucas hit a game-winning shot in 1974.

how to feed the crowd more.

He jumped up on the scorers’ table and hoisted his fists to the crowd.

“All I remember is turning around and I’m like, ‘Coach is on the damn scorers’ table.

What hell are you doing up there?’” Marquette guard Lloyd Walton said.

“Well, I thought it was a little over the top,” Badger forward Dale Koehler said. “But, whatever, everybody celebrates in their own way.”

Miller took a photo of him that would have already been iconic, but it became even more so when Glenn Hughes, father of Wisconsin’s 6-foot-11 centers Kerry and Kim, rose up from his seat and raised his middle finger toward McGuire.

“That’s very atypical for him,” said Kerry Hughes. “A very conservative man, great father, real good businessman who never imagined in a million years that he would do that. I could understand how he would after being a father and stuff; he was so disappointed for his sons. But that did surprise me.”

Glenn Hughes, a former Air Force veteran, gas station owner and president of the school board, had never missed one of his sons’ high school or collegiate games. Despite the 16 inches of snow in Milwaukee that evening, Hughes was sitting about two rows behind the scorers’ table in time for

the tipoff.

Kim and Kerry had never beat Marquette and McGuire.

Their last chance to see the look of defeat on McGuire’s face just slipped away. The Hughes family were reserved, humble Midwesterners.

Only the

“

McGuire was so good at sticking the needle in. He did it on purpose, and he knew what he was doing. He always knew what he was doing.”

Bill Dwyre Former Milwaukee Journal sports editor flamboyant actions and perceived arrogance of McGuire caused the elder Hughes to crack.

“McGuire was so good at sticking the needle in,” Milwaukee Journal sports editor Bill Dwyre said. “He did it on purpose, and he knew what he was doing. He always knew what he was doing.

It just infuriated the Wisconsin fans so much.”

“McGuire was particularly loathed by Wisconsin,” Wolfley said. “They had disdain for Marquette basketball, but they

loathed McGuire because of his personality. He was from the east. Obnoxious is a word you would hear a lot, that he was a showman. He just didn’t fit well with some Midwestern basketball fans.”

Marquette’s coach was known to be disinterested in practices and often had side conversations as his assistants Hank Raymonds and Rick Majerus ran the show, but he was at his best during games. “He understood the theater of basketball, and game time is showtime,” Wolfley said.

“It was like that with Al where ever we went,” Walton said. “‘He would always say ‘Just play the game, I’ll take care of the crowd.’

And he’d walk out there make some kind of face or say something and then the crowd would focus on him and not on the players. He was a master of it, man. He knew how to do it, get the crowd on him, get them focused on him, and just let the team go to work.”

Most coaches are concerned with their players’ preparation.

McGuire was equally concerned with the arena attendance. He didn’t require dress codes while traveling and encouraged his players to speak their minds. He was not a coach of his era, or any era for that matter.

Despite the organized chaos McGuire fostered in the program, his players displayed on-court discipline and precision, as did Wisconsin. The difference is that McGuire ended

games chest-thumping on the scorers’ table.

“John Powless would have to be on LSD to (get on the scorers’ table),” Gorning said. “He would be the last person in the world to do that.”

The morning after the game, the Milwaukee Sentinel decided to take a more drastic approach and run Miller’s photo with Hughes’ finger airbrushed out, but Dwyre decided to run the full photo that afternoon in the Journal, much to the dismay of Badger fans.

“The Wisconsin fans were horrified,” Dwyre said. “If every one of them cancelled their subscription who said they would, we would’ve gone out of business. The Marquette fans were delighted.”

Time is unable to completely wash away a rivalry, but it softens the sting of the moment.

“It’s almost become predictable because (when) they sent it to me after it first happened at the end of our senior year, it wasn’t funny then,” Kerry Hughes said.

“Then, after 10 years it was funny; after 20 it was hilarious.

My brother and I talked about it and I finally talked to my dad about it. He passed away two years ago, so I can’t tell him that he’s still famous 40 years after the event.”

“He’s probably up in heaven looking down and finally laughing about it.”

High school friends, competitors play for both sides John, Hauser have childhood rivalries with Badger players

By Andrew Goldstein

andrew.goldstein@marquette.edu

When Trevor Anderson remembers “the good old days,” he pictures a Nerf basketball hoop hanging in Sam and Joey Hauser’s parents’ bedroom.

“We’d just play tournament games in there all day,” Anderson said. “We would just be throwing each other around, we’d be sweating afterwards, we’d have scratches all on us.”

Roughly a decade later, Anderson, a redshirt sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will be part of something much larger than a Nerf tournament when the Badgers go up against Sam Hauser’s Marquette Golden Eagles.

“It’s going to be pretty weird, honestly,” Sam said. “I don’t know anything other than being his teammate, so seeing him in a Badgers jersey and me in a Marquette jersey is going to be a little weird.”

Sam and Anderson represent a common phenomenon: childhood or high school acquaintances ending up on opposite sides of the Wisconsin-Marquette struggle.

As teammates at Stevens Point Area Senior High School, the two sophomores played integral roles in the Panthers’ state titles in 2015 and 2016.

Before his senior year, Sam committed to Marquette, which

went against the grain in Stevens Point, a town of 26,000 in the middle of the state where nearly everybody roots for Wisconsin.

At a press conference in October to announce Joey’s commitment to Marquette, Sam said the two brothers plan to “(turn) a lot of Wisconsin fans into Marquette fans.”

“They weren’t really Marquette fans before, but now that me and Joey are coming here, they’re both (Badger fans and Marquette fans.)” Sam said.

Anderson sees things a little differently. He said he assumed most of the people in Stevens Point are still Badger fans, but the people coming to games will not be choosing one team over the other.

“People are going to be more Hauser or Anderson fans,” Anderson said. “In a game that special, when you’re playing against your high school best friends, at the end of the day you want both sides to perform well … Most people from Stevens Point are just proud of all three of us.”

The two teams’ familiarity with each other doesn’t just apply to players from Wisconsin. Marquette power forward Theo John and Wisconsin guard Brad Davison are both from Minnesota, but go back just as far as Anderson and Sam do.

“I’ve been with Brad since elementary school and consider him my best friend and my brother,” John said. “I love

playing with him and hate playing against him.”

John and Davison are a little more used to being on opposite sides than the Wisconsin duo is.

Davison attended Maple Grove High School, which frequently clashed with John’s Champlin Park team.

“In our four years of high school, both teams were very good,” John said. “We were in the same conference and those games would be packed.”

There was still plenty of time to play together in the summer when high school basketball ended and the summer basketball season began. Both players competed on the Howard Pulley AAU team, which gave them the chance to learn

each other’s games inside and out.

Anderson, who transferred to Wisconsin after a year with University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, is just as familiar with Sam’s game. Although he’s not able to play, Anderson will be able to provide a full scouting report on his childhood friend to the rest of the Badgers.

“You can’t give him any breathing room,” Anderson said. “A lot of people just label him as a shooter … but he’s a hell of a defender as well. I would say he’s their best defender right now, far and away.”

Meanwhile, John came of age in University of Minnesota territory during a time when the Gophers weren’t good enough to challenge the Badgers or any other perpetual Big Ten contenders. Any extra meaning is about personal competition with Davidson.

“He’s always been a rival,” John said. “Whenever I play against him, I see him as a rival. It may be more spoken in Wisconsin, but any team we’re going against I consider a rival.”

After the game, whichever side loses can expect plenty of friendly chirping from his counterpart on the other side of Interstate-94.

“I know (Sam) joked with me this year if he hits a three, he’s going to talk a little crap at the end of the bench, so hopefully he doesn’t hit one by me,” Anderson said.

When asked if he chided Davison over his commitment to Wisconsin, John said, “Always, always. We’re best friends; there had to be (trash talk).”

Swing offense catalyzes Wisconsin’s recent success Chris Reisner

When Bo Ryan took over the basketball program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2001, he instituted a tactic known as the swing offense. Gradually, it became synonymous with Wisconsin basketball.

What is the swing offense?

Ryan is credited not only for popularizing the swing offense, but developing it himself.

The swing is a continuous sequence of off-ball screens and ball movement that attempts to break down a defense. It gets its name when the ball will be “swung,” or passed, from one side of the court to the other on any given possession.

Fan view Along with Ryan’s offense comes a mindset: Do not settle for a good shot. Work for a great shot.

This often leads to the Badgers passing up decent looks early in the possession in an attempt to get a wide open basket as the shot clock winds down.

Some fans view the slower pace

of play as boring, but basketball purists love the swing’s patience and fundamental execution.

The patience involved in Ryan’s offense has proven effective in frustrating defenses. For all 14 years under Ryan, his teams have converted more free throws than his opponents have attempted.

Adapting philosophy Perhaps the biggest benefit of the swing offense is that it allows players that would otherwise be overmatched athletically to thrive.

In recent years, two-star recruit Trevon Jackson and walk-on Zak Showalter have played major roles on succssful Badgers teams despite their relatively inathletic build.

On the other side of the coin, when a team has an abundance of talent, it’s best to abandon the swing at times. When Wisconsin’s roster featured NBA-level talent such as Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker, Ryan increased the freedom for these types of players to simply make plays rather than continuing the sequence of the swing.

Ryan’s storied career and raised questions about how new coach Greg Gard would change the system. Gard, Ryan’s longtime assistant dating back to his days at Platteville, continues to base Wisconsin’s offense on Ryan’s swing principles.

Transitioning to the NBA Wisconsin has undoubtedly been more successful than Marquette recently, but Marquette still claims the advantage when it comes to producing talent at the next level.

Marquette alumni boast 186 total

seasons of NBA experience, as opposed to just 103 for the Badgers.

In fact, Marquette alum Dwyane Wade has amassed significantly more NBA all star appearances (14) individually than every Wisconsin alumnus combined (3).

Although the Wisconsin system produces wins, it does not bear much resemblance to the NBA, where a 24-second shot clock favors quick movers and one-on-one shot creators.

The high-tempo, run-and gun-

offenses that Marquette produces have been much more effective in producing talent at the next level.

The bottom line Both schools have found success through different facets of achievement as well as varying styles of play.

The stylistic disparity only serves to highlight the biggest in-state rivalry of Wisconsin college basketball of Wisconsin college basketball.

Wisconsin students ambivalent about Marquette game Madison supporters prioritize football over Marquette

By Brian Boyle

brian.boyle@marquette.edu

Nicolette Boggia, a junior in the College of Nursing, never considered herself anything more than a casual basketball fan, but she knew to set her alarm early on the second Saturday of last December. It was the first time in her career at Marquette that the Golden Eagles were playing Wisconsin in Milwaukee and she wasn’t going to miss it.

“

That’s just one of those days everyone knows is a big deal. Everyone gets real excited for it. It’s one of those days where campus just really comes alive.”

Nicolette Boggia Marquette Junior

“That’s just one of those days everyone knows is a big deal,” Boggia said. “Everyone gets real excited for it. It’s one of those days where campus just really comes alive.”

Boggia will make most of the Saturday games, but has no qualms with staying home either. She learns about the team vicariously through her more enthusiastic friends. When it comes to the Marquette-Wisconsin game, though, Boggia knew better than to doubt its importance “It’s kind of like the first semester National Marquette Day,” Boggia said. “(It was) the year we hosted it, at least.”

With the 100th anniversary of the rivalry looming, not everyone 80 miles west of Milwaukee is as excited.

“Wait, we’re playing Marquette on Saturday?” Wisconsin junior Noah Fleuchaus said. “Huh. Maybe I’ll catch it on TV.” Fleuchas, a self-proclaimed mostly casual Wisconsin basketball fan, had a reaction not unusual amongst his peers. In fact, it was ordinary.

Suggest to a Madison student that Marquette is coming to town in a week for the continuation of a heated in-state rivalry, however, and they might just laugh, or, even more likely, just be confused.

“I mean, I guess we could be considered rivals,” Wisconsin junior Amanda Mix said. “We are in the same state and all. And I guess some kids might have applied to both schools, especially the Wisconsin kids. But when I think

of our rivals, I definitely think of Minnesota. Not Marquette. Not at all.”

The two teams haven’t quite been equal opportunity NCAA Tournament contenders in recent years, which cooled the rivalry off.

“We’re pretty bad this year,” Fleuchaus said of the 3-5 Badgers.

“And the past couple years, either we weren’t that good until conference games, or (Marquette) wasn’t that good either.”

In Madison, there’s a much larger attraction to deal with. A 12-1 football season gave Badger fans high hopes and playoff aspirations. And though a crushing late season defeat to Big Ten rival Ohio State nipped their chance to make the College

“

All our focus is really on football right now. I feel like even when we are good at basketball, nobody really gets into it until after football season is through.”

Football Playoff, the Badgers are appearing in the prestigious Orange Bowl against the University of Miami. Regardless, football has eaten up most of the attention recently.

“All our focus is really on football right now,” Wisconsin junior Ashling Davern said. “I feel like even when we are good at basketball, nobody really gets into it until after football season is through. And I love going to the

basketball games.”

Now that Wisconsin football is on

hiatus for several weeks until bowl season, the campus might be more

inclined to pack the Kohl Center on campus and cheer on the Badgers.

HISTORY, from page 11A

scathing articles about Schulz, calling him “Rube’s Rhubarb” in reference to the poisonous substance left by rhubarb leaves.

Badger fans viewed Schulz as a traitor, but Marquette fans loved him.

The tides of the rivalry forever changed when Al McGuire was named Marquette head coach in 1964. McGuire dominated the rivalry, winning 19 games against the Badgers including 14 consecutive wins from 1969-’77.

The most memorable game in series history occurred during this stretch, when Marquette defeated Wisconsin on a buzzerbeater in 1974. Wisconsin was up 47-38 with under six minutes to go when Marquette’s Bo Ellis and Lloyd Walton started whittling the Badger lead down. With just over a minute to play, Ellis scored two straight baskets to bring Marquette within a point with 47 seconds remaining.

Marquette defeated Wisconsin, 75-64, in 1978 for the 15th consecutive matchup. The famed MECCA floor also hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wisconsin center Kim Hughes with 17 seconds left.. He missed both free throws, leaving the door open for Marquette’s Maurice Lucas. With just

seconds remaining, teammate Dave Delsman handed the ball off to Lucas, who fumbled the pass, but found the composure to regain possession and

gracefully fire up a prayer from 20 feet away. It went in.

The arena descended into a madness. McGuire hopped on top of the scorers table and raised his fists. Thus, the most famous photograph of the rivalry was born.

“You’re going to get a close game in this rivalry even if one team enters the game 18-1 and the other is 1-18,” McGuire said after the game.

The Marquette Tribune’s story called Lucas “The Joker,” in reference to the popular Steve Miller Band tune. Wisconsin coach John Powless “was bumming cigarettes and smoking them furiously” while his players protested in vain that teammate Dale Koehler’s basket at the end of the first half, which

the refs said occurred after the game clock expired, should have counted, per the next day’s Milwaukee Journal.

More recently, the mid-to-late 2000s were full of close matchups. In nine of the 17 games since the turn of the century, at least one team was ranked in the top 25. The highest ranking for either side entering the clash occurred in 2014, when the No. 2 Badgers beat Marquette in head coach Steve Wojciechowski’s first game against the Badgers.

When Saturday’s contest tips off, another chapter will be added to the century-long saga, one that will surely promise as much drama and controversy as the first 100 years.

Admissions spike over 4 years Recent increase result of targeted applicant process

By Margaret Cahill

margaret.cahill@marquette.edu

When freshman Alden Hodgdon applied to Marquette University, he thought the application process was selective until he saw the sudden jump in acceptance rates.

Marquette’s acceptance rate increased 20 percent in the last four years. In 2012, the university admitted about 55 percent of applicants. As of 2017, the rate is 74 percent.

“I thought Marquette was more selective than 74 percent (acceptance),” Hodgdon, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, said.

“That high of an acceptance rate hurts the caliber of the school in my opinion.”

From an outsider’s point of view, these numbers can be jarring. Marquette accepts a higher number of students, which makes it appear that it is easier to gain admission.

But as part of Marquette’s Master Plan, the enrollment rate will increase. President Lovell said that over the next few years the university would have about 500 more undergraduates. This is, in part, to allow more students to enroll in Marquette’s competitive programs.

“Some of our programs will have 2000 applicants for 80 spots,” Lovell said at a news conference in August. “And those are very high-achieving students. We want to be able to try to offer more of them to get up here and come to Marquette.

I think the Master Plan will help us grow the areas where we see tremendous demand.”

Xavier Cole, vice president of student affairs, said the university hopes to enroll around 100 more undergraduates per year if possible and keep Marquette a highly-esteemed school.

“This year we came in a little over our anticipated target,” Cole said in August. “What that says is Marquette is a very attractive product.”

Marquette stopped encouraging applications from potential students they would deny,

thus boosting the admissions rate. John Baworosky, vice provost of enrollment management, said the administration made this transition to better align with Marquette’s Jesuit mission statement.

Two years ago, Marquette switched from generating a large pool of applicants to marketing toward a smaller group of prospective students with higher ACT or SAT scores, Provost Dan Myers said. Instead of sending emails and flyers to a larger number of students, the admissions office is sending these materials to students whose names the university bought from testing companies.

“This decision was not just made on a whim. We utilized consulting firms and many other experts and resources in order to ensure that this was the right choice for our school,” Meyers said. “And we have other priorities other than acceptance rates, such as creating a more diverse campus and maintaining academic excellence.”

Multiple interpretations of acceptance data ADMISSIONS, from page 1B Nathan Juarez, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, applied after Marquette switched the admission process, but he said he believes other students might be hesitant to pick Marquette over other schools with higher acceptance rates.

“People back home have been asking me about Marquette,” Juarez said. “But the only thing they’re questioning is why the acceptance rate is getting so high.”

“I think that this makes Marquette seem less competitive to get into, and that might deter smarter students from wanting to apply,” Hodgdon said.

Sarah Nyhan, alumna from the Marquette class of 1989, said she is concerned this may damage the school’s reputation. Nyhan said the previous admissions model was not unethical because it allowed the university to compete with other schools while also attracting bright students.

“Their increasing acceptance rate may catch up with them,” she said. “I believe that (the previous admissions process) is not doing anything wrong or unethical, it is just a way to prevent negative consequences.”

But the admissions process is not the only factor that influences which students apply. Jimmy Starke, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, sees this first-

hand working as a tour guide.

“The questions I most often get asked concern the small class sizes, student to teacher ratio and resources of the school,” Starke said. “If all of these factors remain strong, that’s fine.”

Starke also notes that from the perspective of a student, it is fairer to receive mail from

schools willing to accept these students. It doesn’t make sense for Marquette to market to students that they know they’re going to deny, he said.

There can be benefits — besides those pertaining to the admissions rate — to reaching out to many students, he said.

“If the motivation is to simply get the admissions rate down, that isn’t necessarily good,” Emily Johnson, Marquette class of 2010, said. “But casting a wide net and reaching out to more students could increase diversity and allow more students information and access to Marquette.”

Not all alumni see the increasing admittance rate as a problem either. Annie Darley, Class of 1989, said alumni still respect their alma mater, regardless of its rate of admission.

“The rate may deter some students, but there’s more to statistics and we should take this with a grain of salt,” Darley said.

Some university officials echoed that the numbers do not paint the entire picture.

“The ranking and acceptance rates are not indicators of a school’s quality,” Myers said. “The scores and quality of each incoming class continue

But when MUPD reached out to an Axon sales representative, Mascari said they were told they no longer qualified for the offer because they had already tested two Axon cameras.

The Marquette Wire contacted Axon to verify this, but Axon’s vice president of strategic communications, Steve Tuttle, said in an email that the NFTO trial was still ongoing and that Axon had not revoked the offer.

When told that Axon denied revoking the offer, Mascari said an Axon sales representative met with MUPD Captains Jeff Kranz and Katie Berigan, and told them that

MUPD would not be able to take part in the NFTO because they had previously done a 30-day trial of two Axon cameras.

Mascari said Axon provided a quote for MUPD’s immediate purchase of the cameras, which they declined in favor of researching other body camera vendors.

The Marquette Wire asked Axon once more if the offer had been revoked, and Tuttle affirmed that it had not.

“The offer is open to all law enforcement agencies in the U.S.,” Tuttle said via email.

Other Milwaukee municipalities of similar size to MUPD have not had the same troubles acquiring body cameras.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Police Department began researching body cameras in 2015, roughly the same time as MUPD. While UWMPD did not participate in the NFTO, UWMPD Chief of Police Joseph LeMire said Axon had been helpful in facilitating the body cameras’ implementation.

UWMPD negotiated a five-year contract with Axon and officially deployed cameras for their 33 officers in September, LeMire said.

The Milwaukee Police

Department also uses Axon body cameras but deployed the cameras in 2015, prior to the announcement of the NFTO. Mascari said he is still committed to implementing body cameras for MUPD, but that there are a variety of things still to consider.

“While we would like implementation to happen as quickly as possible, we also want to ensure we are getting the right product for the right price,” Mascari said. “We also need to ensure we are considering recent studies questioning the effectiveness of (body cameras) and that any policy we adopt addresses concerns related to privacy that are being raised more and more as (body camera) utilization becomes more widespread.”

He also said that MUPD has not ruled out Axon products but that they want to be certain the product they choose best serves the department.

MUPD advisory board chair Thomas Hammer said this may further postpone body camera implementation.

“It’s going to involve testing other vendors to ensure they meet MUPD standards,” Hammer said.

“We have to test other comparable products that may be more competitively-priced.”

to rise, and if (the administration) saw a problem or decrease in the quality of students, we would change course.”

Despite the increasing rate of acceptance, there is an increase in the number of students who choose to attend Marquette. “The average GPAs and test scores of students has actually increased,” Brian Troyer, dean of undergraduate admissions, said.

Troyer said this strategy,

because it has increased the acceptance rate so rapidly, could have adverse effects in the long term even though it has not affected the test scores and GPA of students as of this year.

“This could potentially be negative in the long run, but we have seen no signs of this so far,” Troyer said.

Sexual assaults most frequent in underclassmen PEERS, page 1A

Katy Adler, a university victim advocate, said during her time at Marquette, there have been few cases where a stranger was the perpetrator of a sexual assault.

“It is my perception that the survivors who were assaulted by strangers are the ones that are most likely to report,” Adler said. “Of course then it’s often difficult to get a clear picture …

You don’t know who isn’t reporting,” Adler said of the situational demographics surrounding sexual assault on campus.

Over text message, shortly after the incident, the perpetrator acknowledged he had heard Jamie say no and not consent multiple times.

feel bullied by her former friends, to the point that she didn’t feel safe in her dorm room. She also said it felt like she had lost every friend she had made in college so far. Under the recommendation of her Resident Assistant, Jamie eventually moved dorms.

An RA, who will remain anonymous and is not affiliated with the situation, said she saw a few groups of girls pressure their friends to not report a sexual assault during her tenure as an RA. “These young girls are just getting comfortable being in college; friendships aren’t set in stone yet,” The RA said. “Their new acquaintances don’t want the reporting to make social situations awkward.”

Jamie said many of the mutual friends her and the perpetrator shared, feared that if she reported the incident, it would worsen his depression that had developed.

Despite her friends knowing the perpetrator admitted to sexually assaulting her, they forced her to apologize to him, Jamie said. They, “Didn’t want to be put in an awkward social position,” she said.

“Nobody wants to be known as the girl who was assaulted and ruined the guys life,” Jamie said.

Jamie said she continued to

The RA said she would hear from residents that many wouldn’t report their assault for fear of not getting invited to parties or other events.

“I heard one resident who had been assaulted describe reporting as a ‘party foul,’” the RA said.

Meghan Stroshine, an associate professor in the social and cultural sciences department, focuses her research on domestic violence, women and crime.

She said that specific to reporting on college campuses, she believes there is confusion as to where to report.

“I didn’t think I could still tell

the school because months had gone by, but I did tell my (resident assistant),” Jamie said.

Stroshine said the process should be clearer. She suggested having information such as who mandatory reporters are and anonymity policies presented to incoming students immediately.

“These young women don’t understand the reporting process.

It is scary and confusing,” Stroshine said. “Maybe they don’t want to have a case go to the

police and fear that is what will happen if they tell an official.

They don’t know who are mandatory reporters and don’t want information to go public.”

This was the case for Jamie. She didn’t know who she could tell.

“I never officially reported it, and I don’t know if it’s too late or if I even want to,” Jamie said.

“Sometimes I regret it, other times I’m thankful I didn’t say something … I’ve found my own ways to move on and recover.”

Offshore activity linked to university insurance LAW FIRM, from page 1 restructured in 2010 and moved its operations to the United States.

SCUUL was an offshore reinsurer of UE until 2010, instead of a direct insurer for institutions.

“It is common for a large insurance firm such as United Educators to affiliate with re-insurers, and these affiliated re-insurers often are based offshore,” Jenkins said in an email.

The offshore affiliations have landed some institutions in hot water, including big-name schools like Texas Christian and Indiana University, who were revealed to have been hiding earnings from oil, gas and coal investments in offshore accounts in a report by The New York Times Nov. 8.

When news came out about the Paradise Papers, UE chief financial officer Mike Horning was prepared to respond.

Though the offshore activity by UE was used to avoid regulation, their intentions were not to make a profit from foreign markets, Horning said.

“There’s nothing nefarious or illegal about this,” Horning said.

“It’s completely legitimate.”

Horning said the tie to Bermuda has to do with SCUUL’s beginnings, and many large insurance companies such as J.P. Morgan and Marsh McLennan were moving their investments offshore.

There is no federal income tax for offshore investments, so it made it easier for the newly formed consortium to afford the liability coverage they needed.

However, the offshore nature of the company became inconvenient as UE expanded, and in 2010 finished reorganizing under Vermont state law.

The consortium now consists of 1,600 representatives from schools, colleges and universities across the U.S., according to their website. Marquette did not renew their coverage with UE in 2010 and is no longer a part of the consortium.

Jenkins said it was a business decision to leave UE, and the university is insured by multiple entities, as is common practice for an institution the size of Marquette.
