MUSG passes budget for 2015
Global prize goes to MU students’ phone app
Legislation reduces funds for After Dark, makes film events free By Joe Kvartunas
joseph.kvartunas@marquette.edu
Marquette Student Government unanimously passed a $475,850 budget for Fiscal Year 2015 at their Senate meeting Thursday night, a measure that features a reduction in After Dark programs and free admission to movies at the Varsity ribune Theater. roject MUSG follows a balanced budget philosophy, meaning it plans to spend all of the money it expects to receive in total revenues. The budget was built primarily by the MUSG budget committee, which was made up of former president Sam Schultz, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences; Financial Vice President Nick Ciccone, a junior in the College of Business Administration; former Programs Vice President Tyler Tucky, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences; current Programs Vice President Ryan Twaddle, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences; off-campus Senator Nathan Craft, a junior

be super sexual, and sexualized, in addition to being the sexual activity gatekeeper,” Hlavka said. “How you balance that is beyond me - it’s physically impossible. When girls do have sexual encounters, they’re labeled as ‘sluts’ by their peers.” If a female victim tries to report sexual violence, her peers often “victim blame” or “slut shame” to make her feel guilty for the actions of her assaulter. Hlavka found girls criticize one another for not avoiding aggressive male behavior, and also downplay sexual assault to each other as not a “big deal,” in order to prevent victims from reporting it. “They grab you, touch your butt and try to, like, touch you in the front, and run away, but it’s okay,” said one 13-year-old girl interviewed in the study. “I mean … I never think it’s
a big thing because they do it to everyone.” Though the study focuses on girls ages 11-17, Hlavka also talked with males from the same age group and individuals of both genders ages 3-10, finding that men experience the same type of sexual assault and shaming as women. Those results will be published in a separate study. “Sexual assault to males by females was similarly disregarded, since men thought they should always want sex, all of the time,” Hlavka said. “And that they were lucky to get sex no matter what.” The study also contains instances of homosexual sexual assault with adolescent victims who were often questioning their sexuality, in addition
A student start-up is looking to build off its success after it took home $53,000 in winnings at the Rice Business Competition for its business plan April 7. The plan focuses around a phone application, focalCast, which streams PowerPoints from mobile devices to a display device using Intel’s Wireless Direct technology. Users can write, draw and annotate on the presentations while using the app. The Rice Business Competition, one of the world’s largest and most renowned business plan competition, draws competitiors from around the globe. This year, focalCast competed against 42 teams from institutions such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Devin Turner and Charlie Beckwith, both seniors in the College of Engineering and co-founders of focalCast, created the application last summer. They pitched the idea to Marquette and were granted access to make the project part of a senior design class as well as receive guidance from university faculty. Although the application is still very new, it has already made great strides toward success. Prior to the competition, the business plan won multiple contests including the Marquette Business Plan Competition earlier this month. “It was the most fast-paced and intense three days I have ever experienced, but staying up all night working on something that you love made it fly by,” Beckwith said. “It was incredibly rewarding for me to see other people using something that I created from the ground up.” Nick Winninger, business director of focalCast, said the team was hesitant to enter the competition. It knew experts had to critique its plan, but was also under pressure to find potential investors. In the end, the focalCast group won the $50,000

Study on sexual violence gains attention MU professor’s study looks at experiences of young girls ages 10-17 By Natalie Wickman
natalie.wickman@marquette.edu
Two weeks after sexual misconduct allegations in Marquette’s fraternities surfaced on campus, a professor’s study on adolescent girls’ views on sexual assault is getting media attention. The 10-year study, conducted by Heather Hlavka, an assistant professor of social and cultural sciences, was titled “Normalizing Sexual Violence” and drew results from a sample population drawn from a forensic child advocacy center in the Midwest. It was published online Feb. 28,
and will appear in the June issue of Gender & Society journal. Hlavka was interviewed on MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry Show April 20 to discuss her findings. The sample population investigated occurrences of sexual assault on school buses, playgrounds, hallways and generally within school peer groups. “We’re using traditional sexual scripts to talk about gender,” Hlavka said. “We say ‘boys will be boys and they can’t help themselves,’ and then the girls are supposed to be the gatekeepers of sexual activity.” According to Hlavka’s study, those traditional sexual scripts create a double standard, one that girls cannot easily avoid, which can lead to mental manipulation from peers. “Today, girls are in a strange double-bind where they have to

MU one of seven ‘green’ Wis. colleges University has spent $7 million to improve campus sustainability By Benjamin Lockwood
benjamin.lockwood@marquette.edu
Marquette’s environmental and sustainability programs were recognized for the third consecutive year on the Princeton Review’s 2014 Guide to 332 Green Colleges. Lynn Sheka, associate director of university communication, said Marquette is “proud” to earn a spot in the green guide. “‘Fostering sustainable practices and a culture of environmental responsibility’ is an objective under the ‘Sustainability of Valuable Resources’ theme in our strategic plan, Beyond Boundaries,” Sheka said in an email. “So this designation recognizes the university’s commitment to continue to make sustainability a priority.” To qualify for Princeton Review’s list, universities must focus their efforts on mass transportation programs, green building certifications and expanded course offerings in environmental studies, among other criteria. According to the report, Marquette met all the above specifications. It was specifically commended for its sustainability efforts in using excess steam from local power plants to heat 90 percent of the campus, which helped the university earn a “green” score of 87, on a scale from 60 to 99. According to the guide’s Marquette profile, the university invested $7 million to improve its energy efficiency and water systems, reducing its annual energy use by more than 1.5 million kilowatt hours and its annual water consumption by about 13.5 million gallons. “Students who attend Marquette University will find opportunities to engage and support environmental sustainability throughout campus, from the classroom to their dorm room and everywhere in between,” the profile states. Tom Ganey, vice president

of planning at Marquette, said the university’s sustainability efforts extend beyond Marquette’s steam energy use. He pointed to student-led green initiatives, like the dental student’s recent “sustainability fair,” or the tree planting at Sensenbrenner Hall for Earth Day. Ganey said he was content with the score the university received, but did not know whether Marquette could get a better score in the future. “I’m not sure how high up the scale we can go,” Ganey said. He said some of the other criteria were academic and that

activity fee revenue. In Fiscal Year 2014, it received $21,000 in unanticipated revenue. “We don’t plan for it, but we expect it to happen,” Ciccone said. “It usually is an underestimated number of students. So we expect it to happen, but it’s not something our budget relies on.” BREAKING DOWN EXPENDITURES FOR FY2015 The MUSG budget is divided into four expense areas: student organization funding expenses, administrative expenses, programs and services expenses, and Program Board expenses. The student organization funding area accounts for all funds that will be allocated to student organizations want a subsidy from MUSG for events they would like to host. Fund-
ing for this section of the budget did not change at all from last year. The MUSG constitution mandates 30 percent of the student activity fee revenue be allocated to student organization funding, so $132,480 is automatically allocated for clubs to apply for in FY2015. Arguably the biggest change in the FY2015 budget is in the Program Board budget, which totals $278,320, or about 60 percent of the entire budget. Program Board saw large decreases to key items in its budget despite
seeing an overall increase in its total funding. Twaddle said the changes are part of a concerted effort to make Program Board more focused on upperclassmen in the next fiscal year. MUSG’s popular After Dark programs will see a decrease of $12,700 next year. Twaddle said the change is coming because many of the After Dark programs are conflicting with other late night events, leading to a decrease in attendance. “As (a Resident Adviser), I recognize that the alcohol alternative programs are important, but MUSG is not the only organization planning After Dark programs,” Twaddle said. “There will still be just as many late night alternatives, but MUSG will not be putting as much money into them.” Diversity programs will also receive a major funding cut, losing $6,000 dollars, as a reflection of the increase in diversity programs hosted by clubs. Program Board will also take $6,800 out of its film budget, cutting one outdoor film and two movies from the normal schedule. Even with the decrease, MUSG will still make all of its MUSG sponsored-movies free. “We already charge students for an activity fee, so why do we charge them again for movies and on campus events?” Twaddle said. “So, all on-campus events next year are going to be free to students. Any student can just come to a movie next year, get in for free, and watch the movie. Night of Chocolate will also be free next year.” Program Board will also add funds to a variety of events. Both the Coffeehouse Series and Senior Week will receive a $10,000 increase. Similarly, MUSG will add $4,500 to special events, $3,470 to new programming initiatives, and $1,750 to the speaker series. An additional $1,000 will also be given to street team marketing. “So we are going to try and promote more music on campus,” Twaddle said. “We intend to bring higher quality acts to campus. So fewer acts, but better known.”

The Electric Lady Janelle Monáe
Pure Heroine Lorde
San Fermin San Fermin
AM Arctic Monkeys
Janelle Monáe made her mainstream breakthrough in 2008, when her single “Many Moons” earned her the first Grammy nomination of her career. She slowly gained recognition as a guest vocalist on fun.’s hit, “We Are Young.” Now, her latest album, “The Electric Lady,” keeps her signature electro-funk sound alive and thriving, mixing her old school soul vocals with modern techno beats. Like her previous album, “The ArchAndroid,” “The Electric Lady” includes overtures for each of the album’s suites, or sections of tracks and explores the imaginary world of Metropolis. The gem of the album, though, is her collaboration with Prince, “Givin’ Em What They Love.” Their complimentary sensual tones definitely give listeners what they love: Janelle in her natural funk element. Claire Nowak
Ella Marija Lani YelichO’Connor, otherwise known by her stage name, Lorde, took the pop culture world by storm with her first album, “Pure Heroine.” Released in September, Lorde’s music is smart, edgy and, best of all, different. With such addictive songs, Lorde should have cut to the chase and titled her album “Pure Heroin” instead, namely in regards to the album’s hit single, “Royals,” which alone won Lorde two Grammys. Aside from the Grammys, Lorde received praise from Kanye West; Bruce Springsteen made a cover of one of her songs; and she even received kudos from the Queen of England. It’s safe to say the 17-year-old has a lot to look forward to in her career and deserves thanks for gracing us with one of the best albums of the school year. Kevin Ward
San Fermin’s debut album grabbed my attention immediately with its powerful sound. The album is full of beautiful arrangements from classically trained pianist and songwriter Ellis Ludwig-Leone that never fail to interest with intensity. Add the fact that one of its three talented singers calls Milwaukee home, and this became one of my go-to records to add a bit of drama to my paper-writing or homework time. Erin Heffernan
Look no further than the Arctic Monkey’s “AM” for my favorite album of the year. Since it came out in September, the album quietly sat in the Billboard Top 40. It continued to build the band’s sound and is a far cry from its 2006 debut album, “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.” “AM” channels decades of rock with evident influences from both heavy metal and glam rock. The band gets better and better with each album and will be headlining at Lollapalooza in Chicago this summer. Brian Keogh

As a high school student living near Milwaukee, I practically lived at The Rave. My sister and I lined up hours before showtime – without skipping class ... most of the time – so we could get as close to the stage as possible. Seeing Fall Out Boy perform in the Eagle’s Ballroom last December was nothing like that. I came unaccompanied, stood in the back of the room and still had an unbelievable night. Lead singer and guitarist Patrick Stump had a contagious energy that kept the audience dancing for the whole show with a mix of classics like “Thnks fr th mmrs” and new tunes like “Phoenix.” If you missed the boys in December, don’t worry. They’re headlining the Marcus Amphitheater with Paramore July 5. CN
With beards, banjos and beers, Mumford and Sons was certainly one of the best concerts in Milwaukee this past school year. On Sept. 3, the folk-rock band exceeded all expectations at the sold-out Marcus Amphitheater on the Summerfest grounds. They delivered on their most famous hits like “Little Lion Man” and “Babel” (of course), but they also blew the crowd away with renditions of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” as well as The Beatles’ “Come Together.” The band also knew how to connect with the Wisconsin audience. Banjo player Winston Marshall sported a vintage Packers jersey, and Marcus Mumford shot-gunned a PBR on stage. Mumford and Sons had the crowd on their feet from start to finish and displayed a glorious music performance that everyone should experience. KW
Take one of Milwaukee’s best concert venues – the Pabst Theater. Now add a supergroup of some of the most talented Milwaukee and Wisconsin-based musicians thrilled to play for a sold-out hometown crowd. Last, but certainly not least, add the acclaim and talent of Wisconsin music poster boy, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, the group’s de facto front man. When you put that all together, Volcano Choir delivered a moving performance of the entirety of its excellent sophomore release, “Repave.” With Vernon mostly stepping back behind his violet-lit podium like a falsetto-nailing master of ceremonies, the rest of the band stepped into the spotlight to show that Volcano Choir was a true collaborative effort between some great musicians that make Milwaukee proud. EH
Queens of the Stone Age The best concert of the year hasn’t happened yet, but next week, American rock band Queens of the Stone Age is coming to the Riverside Theater. The band has been touring since its latest album “...Like Clockwork” came out almost a year ago this June. Founder and frontman Josh Homme is at the top of his game in the band’s latest album, especially on songs such as “Smooth Sailing,” “I Sat by the Ocean” and “Fairweather Friends.” Expect pounding riffs and the alternative rock/metal sound that makes Queens of the Stone Age stand out, but also power ballads like “The Vampyre of Time and Memory” from its newest album.

Her
The Wolf of Wall Street “The Wolf of Wall Street” can only be described in one word – bold. Martin Scorsese delivers on all accounts as he tells the true story of stockbroker Jordan Belfort who lives a life filled with drugs, prostitutes and more drugs. Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance as Belfort is extremely impressive, as is supporting actor Jonah Hill’s performance as Belfort’s partner in crime, Donnie Azoff. The three-hour movie is raunchy, funny and one you should definitely not watch with your parents – but watch it anyway. It gives the audience a satirical glimpse into the lives of the rich and corrupt and is truly one of the best and boldest movies from this past school year. KW
The fascination and outright obsession with technology has snuck its way into countless film plots over the past few years. But none have taken that story as far as Spike Jonze’s “Her.” The Best Picture nominee follows Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely writer who finds an unlikely romance with his new OS, Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). Critics call it unorthodox, but Jonze’s script is nothing short of poetry. It turns the relationship between Theodore and Samantha into a sincere, compassionate love, one that couldn’t have effectively come to life without the strong performances from both Phoenix and Johansson. “Her”
is available on Blu-Ray and DVD, but I’m still waiting for Jonze to publish the script as a book so I can get a daily dose of literary genius. CN
The Lego Movie I could choose the film I consider the most important this school year (“12 Years a Slave”), I could list the one that makes me sound really sophisticated (“After Midnight,” maybe?), or I could go with the movie that gave me the most honest-to-God joy: “The Lego Movie.” Much like the toy building blocks that inspired it, the movie has at least one part that everyone can appreciate. There’s a
super catchy theme song. There are layers of hilarious meta humor commenting both on the characters’ toy-status and countless movie conventions (goodcop/bad-cop, the “chosen one” trope, the all-knowing mentor who must – by the rules of the universe – be played by Morgan Freeman, just to name a few.) As if just to show off, “The Lego Movie” even throws in a “Star Wars” cameo, tapping into Lord Lucas’ intellectual property rights through the power of legoization. Fortunately for all of humanity, a sequel is already in the works. EH
Wings of Desire There were a lot of excellent movies at the Milwaukee Film Festival, but for me, the one that still stands out months after the fact is German director Wim Wender’s film full of magical realism from 1987 – “Wings of Desire.” Angels walk the streets of a divided Berlin unseen, hearing mankind’s thoughts but unable to take part in what they see. Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, watch and discuss the going ons of human beings until Damiel falls in love with a trapeze artist and falls to earth to become human. BK

Superhero Movies With the recent release of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” we can’t expect any more updates from the Avengers for a few years. Luckily, the 2014 summer movie releases should satisfy any craving for theatrical action and flashy costumes. Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” debuting May 2, brings Andrew Garfield back for a sequel to the Marvel series reboot. The hero will need to balance his relationship with girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) while confronting new villain Electro (Jamie Foxx). James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” takes on a story in an entirely different frontier – space. American pilot Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) teams up with a band of galactic heroes to save the world from an evil orb. Intrigued? Confused? See for yourself when it comes out Aug. 1. CN

Dave Matthews Band
Orange is the New Black Season 2
Summerfest always has an exceptional line up that attracts music fans from all over the world to Milwaukee, but this year, one band may beat out the rest. Dave Matthews Band will play a headlining show at the Marcus Amphitheater July 2 for the World’s Biggest Music Festival. It is the perfect band for this outdoor venue, accompanied by its upbeat music that will get any crowd on their feet. We can only hope that they will play some of their past classics like “Ants Marching” and “Crash Into Me,” but regardless of the setlist, this will definitely be a concert to add on your summer bucket list. KW
Orange is the New BACK. This summer, that is. Okay, I’ll leave now. But actually, “Orange is the New Black,” Netflix’s superb original series set in a women’s prison, is coming back for its second season, and I couldn’t be more excited. The season will be released all at once and, based off trailers and the quality of its debut, promises more poignant looks into the lives of its diverse cast, more prison bullshit, terrible guards and (hopefully) more fist-fights over King Cones in the prison cafeteria.

STAFF EDITORIAL
THE TRIBBEE AWARDS The Marquette Tribune would like to recognize some of the groups and individuals that have made a significant impact on the community this year with its first Tribbee Awards, a way of exhibiting the most outstanding gears that keep the university running. Contributions to the collective success of Marquette have come from all corners of campus: professors, students, staff, alumni and student organizations were nominated by readers for each of four categories. Through research, teaching, collaboration and hands-on service, these groups and individuals have taken an approach to their work that reaches above and beyond what is required of them. The university, after all, is just a sum of its parts. We hope Marquette will continue to pursue the types of service embodied by our winners, work that promotes the intellectual growth of the university while striving to leave a mark in Milwaukee and beyond.
Significant Service Contribution of the Year Brittany White Brittany White, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, has combined skills from her studies in social welfare and justice and writing-intensive English to make service contributions across a wide range of student groups and organizations in Milwaukee. White teaches a creative writing class once per week at the Repairers of the Breach Center, a shelter and resource center for homeless adults on Milwaukee’s north side. She spends another night at the center every week for community building activities and listening to stories told by Milwaukee’s homeless. With student organizations, White led a M.A.P. trip to Kansas City where five students worked with a transitional housing program at reStart, Inc. this year. She is a retreat leader for Campus Ministry and a member of the leadership team for Campus Kitchen, where she leads a cooking shift two nights per week. She is a program assistant for Marquette’s Center for Community Service, has been a co-coordinator for Hunger Clean-Up and also works on Midnight Run.
Honorable Mention: Marquette Facilities Services Grounds and Trucking Departments Facilities Services dealt with particularly harsh weather this winter, putting in extra time and effort to keep campus walkways clear of ice and snow. Jerry Sormrude, a staff member for Marquette Custodial Services, said these two departments as well as volunteers from other branches of Facilities Services spent at least 12 weekends on campus in addition to their regular hours.
Most Engaging Instructor of the Year Jeff Snell Founder of Marquette’s Social Innovation Initiative (SII), Jeff Snell used nontraditional instruction techniques to teach students how to apply social innovation to their careers. In addition to Snell’s service accomplishments through SII – the establishment of a social innovation partnership with the New York Times and recognition as an AshokaU ChangeMaker Campus among them – he also taught a seminar for Marquette’s Honors Program, “How to Change The World: Social Entrepreneurship.” The course combined traditional class discussions and readings with fieldwork to teach students how to work toward innovative social practices. Snell engaged students in a discipline that extended regular class instruction beyond the classroom. Despite his departure as a part of university layoffs in February, Snell’s work with the Honors Program set a precedent for the potential future inclusion of social innovation into Marquette’s core curriculum.
Student Organization of the Year Humanoid Engineering and Intelligent Robotics (HEIR) Lab The remarkable research efforts of Marquette’s Humanoid Engineering and Intelligent Robotics (HEIR) Lab combined modern engineering tools and crowd sourced fundraising to create a highly successful student organization this year. Established as part of Marquette’s Social Innovation Initiative, the HEIR lab engineering team is designing low-cost humanoid robots that can act as motivational health and exercise coaches with children and adults. This year, HEIR used 3D printing technology to design and build a three-foot tall robot named MU-L8 – an effort that qualified the group for RoboCup 2014, a two-on-two robotic soccer competition taking place in Brazil. The team is directed by Andrew Williams, a professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Honorable Mention: MARDI GRAS In addition to MARDI GRAS’s four annual service trips to New Orleans, some of which take close to 100 Marquette students to rebuild homes and form community connections, the group also led a trip to New York this year to work with students from St. John’s University on Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Eight years after the group was formed, MARDI GRAS’s impact and level of student participation remains strong.
Significant Research Contribution of the Year Marquette University Spacecraft Engineering Established in 2011, Marquette University Spacecraft Engineering (MUSE)’s research reached a high point with approval from NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative and a plan to send the satellite into orbit for about three months to snap photos of the earth. Research for the MUSE project has come from all corners of campus. The team of students comes from a wide range of studies, including computer science, anthropology and finance. Around 60 students have contributed to the research project alongside Robert Bishop, dean of the College of Engineering. Work on the satellite, named Golden Eagle 1, began in 2010. It involved the building of the cube itself and the design of communication software to be sent onboard the satellite. The result of MUSE’s research is a three-pound, 10-centimeter cube with two cameras that is expected to launch in spring 2015.
Honorable Mention: John McAdams Professor of political science John McAdams has spent much of his career analyzing and debunking the many theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Fifty years after Kennedy’s assassination, McAdam’s comprehensive work has been recognized in TIME magazine and is among the most highly regarded academic research on the subject.

College of Communication needs to rediscover writing
Eric Oliver The eight magic words I’ve waited four years to hear are finally almost here: “Ladies and gentlemen, your graduating class of 2014,” as the Bradley Center erupts in applause. That leaves one burning question: Now what? To find the answer, I looked back at who I was four years ago. I was an eager freshman ready to be the next Bob Woodward or Carl Bernstein, and Marquette was going to be the school that made me into one of them.
Days away from graduation, I’m left scratching my head and wondering what exactly my four years here brought me. My time at Marquette in the Diederich College of Communication was reminiscent of Charlie Brown at Halloween. While it seemed everyone was enrolled in great classes and learning a lot, I couldn’t help but feel that I kept getting rocks. Unfortunately, my sophomore year came at a time of great change in the College of Communication’s journalism curriculum, and with change you get the good and the bad. The good were some of the most dedicated teachers I have ever seen and had the pleasure to be taught by. I don’t know where I would be without many of them, and I owe a portion of my growth as a person and journalist to them. The bad came in a cookie-cutter curriculum that hasn’t found what it wants to be yet. When I first arrived here, a large majority of the classes being offered were based heavily in writing and reporting, two skills that are undeniably necessary in journalism. Today, the classes, much like the journalism industry as a whole, focus more on multimedia content and
the necessity of conveying your message through various online mediums. By switching the focus of the curriculum and the classes around, writing is left to die in a corner. This is the problem. There is no denying the importance of video, photo or audio content. In fact, if it wasn’t for these few classes I’ve had in those skills, I would feel more lost than I do now. At the end of the day, though, if reporters can’t write a good story, their education didn’t do them much good. To show you the impact of the curriculum, let me tell you a little bit of my story. Sophomore year, I didn’t know what to do. I was idling through college. I thought what I was learning in school would be enough to get me a job or at least an internship in a newsroom. One fateful day, a professor called me into his office and asked me why I wanted to be a journalist, suggesting perhaps journalism wasn’t for me. That was a big problem because all I’ve wanted to do since high school was journalism. After that conversation, I received the education I truly wanted in writing and reporting with the Marquette
Tribune. I consider the day I joined the Tribune to be the day when my college career actually started. The Trib taught me how to be a journalist. Everyone involved with the newspaper leaves Marquette a better journalist than we could ever be if we only went through the curriculum. If it wasn’t for my time there, I wouldn’t have had internships with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee Business Journal or the Neighborhood News Service, and I definitely wouldn’t be in a position to get a job. What the college is doing with our curriculum is necessary to meet industry trends, but the elimination of writing isn’t the right way to do it. The curriculum needs to be a more appropriate mixture of multimedia and writing. We can’t have one without the other. Getting ready to walk across that stage in two weeks is a bit intimidating, but thanks to my time with the Tribune, I know I’ll be ready for the rest of my life.

MU lacks wider conversation on sexual assault
Elena Fransen One of the only open conversations about sex on Marquette’s campus is the discussion about sexual assault. During April’s National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Marquette makes a great public relations display by acknowledging the effects of sexual violence and offering support to victims. Beyond that, the university doesn’t address the problem much further. While the university is not ignoring the problem, these programs alone might not be in the best way to stop sexual
assault on campus. A couple weeks ago, I attended a Sexual Assault Prevention Training session required for my study abroad program. It was very similar to the one I completed while living in the residence halls my freshman year. During the program, we were reminded to stick with people we knew when drinking and to always monitor ourselves and our friends. Included in both presentations were ways to deal with sexual assault if it happened to you or someone close to you. The thing is, sexual assault can happen to anyone, no matter how careful you try to be. While prevention training has the best intentions, it doesn’t address all sides of the issue. It makes sexual assault seem controllable, when the only person who has real control is the assailant. Training people to change their behavior so they do not become victims of sexual assault is not going to solve the problem. Training appears to tell you what to expect from sexual assault – but the reality is unexpected. It just happens. Forgotten in the university’s

discussion of prevention and awareness is the question of what sexual assault is and how it is different from appropriate sexual activity. People assume these are starkly different ideas, but on college campuses, where hookups are just for fun and alcohol makes people more agreeable, wires get crossed. This leads to confusion for people who may have been victims and allows assailants to assume they have done nothing wrong. We hear reports of sexual misconduct, but acceptable conversations about sexual conduct do not exist. What is missing from sexual assault prevention and awareness on Marquette’s campus and in society is the discussion of what consensual sexual conduct is and at what point it becomes something else. Until this distinction is made and discussed, I think sexual assault will always be an unavoidable plague. If this mysterious term cannot be clarified, no one can grasp what sexual assault actually means and why it is prevalent on college campuses. Often,
this makes people who have experienced sexual assault unwilling to talk about it and makes perpetrators unaware of their crimes. Along with awareness and prevention regarding sexual assault, Marquette should initiate conversations about sex on campus and what we can all do to pursue healthy sexual behavior. As a Jesuit university, it may seem taboo to talk about sex, but if we only talk about it when it is bad, we are not giving an accurate depiction of sex. Discomfort should not hold us back from establishing the good in light of a bad situation. If we are willing to talk about the bad side to sexual activity, we should also try to understand the good. Establishing how sex can have a positive impact on our lives would broaden our knowledge and further our efforts to end sexual assault on and off campus.

Wojo adds transfer Carlino Former BYU guard averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists in 2013-14 By Patrick Leary
patrick.leary@marquette.edu
New men’s basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski made his first major roster move Friday when he landed a commitment from transferring BYU guard Matt Carlino. A three-year starter for the Cougars, Carlino will graduate this spring and will play out his final year of eligibility in the fall. “We are proud to welcome Matt to the Marquette family,” Wojciechowski said. “He is a great addition to our program and brings experience, versatility and a hunger to win to our roster.” The 6-foot-2, 175-pound point guard averaged 13.7 points and 4.3 assists per game this year and led BYU to the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars landed a No. 10 seed, and Carlino scored 15 points and five assists in their second round loss to Oregon. In just three seasons, he ranks in the Top 10 all-time at BYU in three-pointers made, assists and steals. He was all-league as a freshman in the Mountain West before the Cougars moved to the West Coast Conference. Carlino and BYU played Marquette in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament. In Marquette’s 88-68 blowout win, Carlino started, scored seven points and dished out four assists in 32 minutes. He joins an already crowded Marquette backcourt that

features veteran presences in rising seniors Derrick Wilson and Todd Mayo, as well as a trio of 2013 recruits, rising sophomores John Dawson and Jajuan Johnson and redshirt freshman Duane Wilson. The transfer figures to start at the point under Wojciechowski, as Derrick
Wilson plays a more natural role of defensive guard off the bench. Carlino provides a nice natural compliment to Derrick Wilson, since he is much more effective with three-point shooting. He was scheduled to visit Purdue next week before
visiting Marquette the week after, but the situation progressed in the 48 hours prior to Friday’s decision. Carlino’s great uncle Brian Brunkhorst played at Marquette from 1965-68 under legendary coach Al McGuire. Brunkhorst was a rebounding force for the
Golden Eagles and captained the team his senior year. As Wojciechowski focuses primarily on securing an elite 2015 recruiting class, experienced players like Carlino will make next year’s transition season run smoothly.
Both tennis teams stumble in Big East semifinals Men beat Creighton, women beat Butler before losing in semis By Hayley Keith
Special to the Tribune
The men’s and women’s tennis teams travelled to Flushing, N.Y. last weekend to compete in the Big East Tournament. Marquette started tournament play Friday, April 25. The men took on Creighton and came away with a 4-0 quarterfinals win. Second doubles team junior Cameron Tehrani and freshman Nick Dykema kicked off the match with a win followed by junior Vukasin Teofanovic and senior Dan Mamalat winning at first doubles. Dykema brought in the first point in singles play at the No. 4 position. Bringing in the remaining two points were Teofanovic at No. 2 singles and Tehrani at No. 5 singles. The men moved onto the semi-finals and fell 3-4 to No. 3 seed DePaul. The men started
off the match strong, winning at second and third doubles. DePaul took the first and second courts in singles play. Marquette responded by winning No. 4 and No. 5 singles to go up by one. However, DePaul rallied and won the match by defeating Marquette senior Logon Collins (No. 3) and freshman Kristiyan Trukov (No. 6). The men finished their season with a 16-9 record overall. The women also had a strong run in the Big East Tournament, making it to the semi-finals. Friday, the second-seeded Golden Eagles took on No. 10 seed Butler. The women swept the Bulldogs 5-0 in the quarterfinals. The women showed their strength by winning the doubles point to start the match. Sixth singles senior Rocio Diaz clinched the win for the Golden Eagles with a 6-0, 6-2 win. Also bringing in points for the win were junior Ana Pimienta (No. 1 singles), junior Vanessa Foltinger (No. 3 singles), and sophomore Aina Hernandez Soler (No. 4 singles). The women advanced to the semi-finals Saturday and faced

No. 3 seed Xavier. Aina Hernandez Soler and Pimienta began the match with a third doubles win followed by second doubles team Diaz and Erin Gebes’s 17th win of the
season. Xavier came back from its doubles play loss to win all four of its points in singles play. Marquette fought hard but was unable to pull out the win. Junior Ali Dawson (No. 3
singles) and sophomore Aina Hernandez Soler (No. 6 singles) scored the last two points for Marquette. The women ended their season with a 13-11 season record.

Golden Eagles’ bid for top seed in Big East tourney falls short By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette was able to stay with Denver early in their season finale, but the No. 3 ranked Pioneers proved to be too much for the Golden Eagles. After being up only one goal at the end of the first quarter, Denver pulled away en route to a 17-9 victory. With the regular season finished, the Big East Tournament seeding is set. The No. 1 seeded Denver will take on No. 4 seed Rutgers, while No. 2 seed Marquette faces off against No. 3 seeded Villanova. The Wildcats had an opportunity to move up to the second seed, but
lost this weekend to Providence in overtime. The Golden Eagles lost to Villanova earlier this season 10-8, their only other loss in Big East play. After freshman Tyler Pace opened the scoring for Denver, Marquette responded with goals from redshirt sophomore Kyle Whitlow and redshirt senior Bryan Badolato for its first and only lead of the game. Denver finished off the quarter on a 3-1 run to take a 4-3 lead after one. That’s when Marquette went cold, only scoring one goal in the next two quarters. After the teams traded punches to start the second quarter, sophomore Jack Bobzien and junior Wesley Berg led the way as Denver buried nine unanswered goals to put the game out of reach. The Golden Eagles made a late scoring push in the fourth, notching five goals, but it was too late.
“I said to the guys this morning in the film session I think we spooked ourselves,” coach Joe Amplo said. “Denver is good, they’re very good, and they kicked our butts all over the field on Saturday in every statistical category and certainly on the scoreboard.” Despite Denver being one of the top programs in the country, Amplo said he doesn’t think there are any moral victories to take away from the game. “We’re here to compete,” said Amplo. “We had a chance to compete for a championship on Saturday and we didn’t.” Sophomore Conor Gately led Marquette in scoring with two goals and two assists. Whitlow had a hat trick, and Badolato scored two goals. The Pioneers defensive unit managed to keep Marquette’s leading scorer redshirt senior Tyler Melnyk completely off the score sheet, holding him to just one shot.
Denver’s two top scorers made their presence known, as Bobzien scored four goals and an assist for Denver and Berg scored two goals. Zach Miller and Erik Adamson each scored three goals, while Jeremy Noble had three assists. The Golden Eagles managed to stay competitive at the faceoff circle, winning 11 of 28. Sophomore Paul Riportella went 5-for11, while redshirt senior Cullen Cassidy went 3-for-9. Marquette did struggle with ground balls, as it only scooped up 19 in comparison with Denver’s 32. Freshman Jimmy Danaher made six saves in the first three quarters, before being pulled in the fourth. Sophomore Matt Barone made one save in relief. Marquette finishes the regular season with a 6-9 record and a 4-2 mark in the Big East. The Golden Eagles played two more games than last year, when the
team finished with a 5-8 record as an independent. Denver completed its undefeated Big East season with the victory, ending 12-2 overall. Marquette’s Big East semifinal game against the hosting Villanova is Thursday at 6 p.m. Despite playing against the home team, Amplo isn’t worried about the surroundings. “We’ll play them on Mars, I don’t care,” Amplo said. “We’re in the Big East Tournament and we get a chance here to certainly extend our season and play against a great institution for the right to play in the championship.” After losing a close game the first time the teams played this season, Amplo said he believes the key to beating Villanova this time around is simple. “Score more goals than them.”

Women’s season ends in 11-5 home defeat to USC Difficult first half, late 5-0 USC run dooms MU on Senior Day By Deny Gallagher Special to the Tribune
The Marquette women’s lacrosse team’s season came to a close Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields following an 11-5 loss to the Southern California Trojans. After losing their Big East finale Thursday to the No. 18 Louisville Cardinals, the Golden Eagles had one more opportunity to improve their overall record. On Senior Day, the program honored two of their own, as seniors Meredith Donaldson and Jennifer Zandlo earned their first career starts. In 11 minutes in goal, Zandlo made three saves. “Jen (Zandlo) transferred here and took a risk on us and just has been an unbelievable work horse for our team,” coach Meredith Black said. “(Donaldson) also transferred and it’s great to have her on the attack. She was kind of plagued by injury while has been a great contributor outside of the field.” Black’s side got off to a slow start in this match, as the Trojans dominated the first half of play, scoring the first five goals of the game. Freshman attacker Amanda Bochniak then found sophomore Taylor Smith, who
put the Golden Eagles on the board with 2:41 left in the half to make it 5-1. The Trojans headed to the locker room with the four goal advantage. The Golden Eagles came out inspired at the beginning of the second half, as they made it a one goal game with 12 minutes to play. Marquette’s 4-1 run was capped by another Smith goal at the 12:29 mark. She finished the day with two goals. In addition to Smith, the fire power of redshirt sophomore attacker Emily Donovan, junior attacker Nicole Gleason, and sophomore attacker Hayley Baas helped the team cut into the Trojans’ lead. While Marquette kept pushing forward to get an equalizer, the Trojans caught them at the other end of the pitch, as USC freshman attacker Michaela Michael beat sophomore goalie Sarah Priem to make it a 7-5 game. The remaining nine minutes were all USC, as the Trojans finished the game on a 5-0 run to spoil Marquette’s Senior Day. “Overall I think we had a good year, we did a lot of things that we wanted to do in our second year,” Black said. “We wanted to make strides from last year and I think we did.” Marquette’s second women’s lacrosse season comes to a close with Golden Eagles finishing 5-12, while going 1-5 in the Big East Conference.

Gainey added to MU coaching staff Wojciechowski names Gainey director of basketball operations By Patrick Leary

Steve Wojciechowski hired his third assistant coach Monday when he tabbed Justin Gainey as his director of basketball operations. Gainey, who played college ball at North Carolina State, spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. “I have obviously been able to keep close tabs on Justin’s career both as a player and a coach and am extremely happy to be able to add him to the staff at Marquette,” Wojciechowski said. “He is in possession of nearly a decade of experience in the collegiate ranks and knows what it takes to compete at the highest level having played at NC State.” Gainey played for the Wolfpack from 1996-2000, around the same time Wojciechowski played at Duke. He averaged
7.7 points and 3.1 assists per game in his career and was a three-year starter. He is best known for leading an eighthseeded NC State team to the finals of the ACC Tournament in 1997 as a freshman. He never left the floor in the four-game run and was named to the alltournament team. After his college career, he played overseas in Austria and France before finishing his professional stint in the United States Basketball League. In 2006, Gainey joined his alma mater’s coaching staff as a an administrative coordinator. In the 2008-09 season, he was promoted to the same role he will fill at Marquette, director of basketball operations. He left his alma mater in 2009 to spend one year at Elon, before heading to his most recent stop at Appalachian State the next season. According to the Marquette athletics news release on his hiring, Gainey “helped develop the point guards and multiple players into all-conference performers under head coach Jason Capel.” Capel’s older brother Jeff was an assistant coach at Duke for the last three years alongside Wojciechowski.

Women’s club volleyball wins second straight title Team finishes off 37-2 campaign with third title in seven seasons By Kyle Doubrava
kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s volleyball club team’s path to a second straight national title was far more arduous than the last time around, but what matters to them is that the job was done. Marquette defeated Ohio State April 5 in Reno, Nev., to close out its 37-2 championship season. Junior Jenny Ciriacks was named the tournament MVP. It is the team’s third title in the last seven years, and it has now finished in the topthree in the country 10 times in coach Anne Pufahl’s 17 years as coach. “It was the most rewarding
experience I’d ever felt,” Pufahl said. “The last time we won, we kind of dominated, and the time before that the same thing. This was every point mattered. Every play was important. It was just exhausting. You were emotionally drained.” Marquette took the match in three sets, 15-25, 25-14, 1614. Ohio State pounced on Marquette early, but Pufahl’s group stayed composed and ended a long final day on the highest note possible. “I think when the opportunity arises where it’s do or die, that’s when we excelled, and I think it really showed the heart in our team,” said Meredith Vertin, junior setter and Second Team All-American. After handily defeating Ball State earlier that day, Marquette was matched up with California - Davis in the quarterfinals. Marquette dropped the first game but rebounded to take the final two. Pufahl was taken aback by UC-Davis’ tenacious play.
MU athletic department undergoes transition year
Patrick Leary Think, for a moment, about where Marquette sports was just nine months ago. Buzz Williams was preparing his team for its first season in the new Big East. Fresh off an Elite Eight run, many viewed the Golden Eagles as favorites to win the conference. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Terri Mitchell was trying to revive a women’s basketball program in a tailspin after two bad seasons. Men and women’s soccer and women’s volleyball looked like programs on the rise, with big time aspirations in both the regular season and postseason. The lacrosse teams carried few expectations other than improvement into their second seasons in existence. At the top, university president the Rev. Scott Pilarz and athletic director Larry Williams hoped to take Marquette sports forward and erase a culture of mistrust that had plagued the program in previous years. In less than a year, everything changed. Pilarz and Larry Williams resigned. President-elect Michael Lovell, an “avid” sports fan, replaced Pilarz at the top, and former Marquette Athletic Director Bill Cords returned as the interim for the foreseeable future. Buzz Williams, Mitchell and volleyball coach Bond Shymansky left as well. Buzz Williams jumped ship for Virginia Tech and Cords and Lovell brought in Duke associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski to replace him. Former Ohio head man Ryan Theis took Shymansky’s
place after the master wordsmith was hired by his alma mater, Iowa. Mitchell, whom the department likely forced out after 18 seasons, is yet to be replaced and will likely retire. On the court, the women’s basketball team took a step forward, while the men’s team took a step back. Mitchell’s team won its first postseason game in three years and went 11-7 in the revamped conference. Buzz Williams’ squad crashed and burned in the new conference, going just 17-15 overall and missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade. The importance of those seasons going forward remains unclear because of the coaching changes. By contrast, fall sports reigned supreme over the Big East in the regular season and conference tournaments. The three sports completed a clean sweep of both conference titles, but also saw quick exits in the postseason. The men’s soccer and women’s volleyball teams each won one game in the NCAA Tournament, while the women’s soccer team, Marquette’s biggest juggernaut this year, was upset in the first round. Men and women’s lacrosse each improved incrementally, and the men have a chance for glory as the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Big East tourney. Regardless of 2013-14 successes, the whole athletic culture at Marquette is in transition. The fall teams set the year up to be a breakout one in a new conference, but the mishaps of winter took the focus away from their successes. The expectations from years of winning combined with so many new faces could create a major positive or serious negative for the department next year.

A lot of the returners coming back are solid. I think it’s going to be really great for us, but there will also be new spots available for freshmen or other players.” Since club sports are not NCAA affiliates, there is no recruiting process. Players participate in tryouts each year, and Marquette has had the luxury of picking from a wide array of talent. “What I’m proud of is the kids buy into it,” Pufahl said. “We practice only twice a week, but we practice harder than any team I know, and that’s because we expect to win. It’s not acceptable not to win.”

Track completes busy weekend in Iowa, Illinois Kemmerer, Schuh, Hein and Ethier set sprint medley record By Ryan Patterson Special to the Tribume
It was more individual titles, program records and personal bests for the Marquette men’s and women’s track and field teams this weekend. Seniors Katie Kemmerer, Carlye Schuh, Kate Hein and sophomore Nicole Ethier set a program record in the women’s sprint medley at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa Saturday with a time of 4:00.25. Junior Samantha Kennedy had a good start to the weekend at Drake by finishing ninth in the women’s hammer throw with a distance of 178 feet, 6 inches, while senior Spencer Agnew also placed ninth in the men’s 1,500 meter run in a time of 3:55.37. Freshman John Krzyszkowski placed 11th in the men’s javelin with a toss of 195 feet, 9 inches, the second-best of his career. At the Grand View Viking Classic, also held in Des Moines,
Marquette took home three individual titles. Junior William Koeck won the men’s hammer throw with a distance of 193 feet, 5 inches, and senior Brett Hardin was runner-up with a throw of 187 feet, 8 inches. Continuing the field success, Kennedy won the women’s hammer throw with a toss of 183 feet, 1 inch, while senior Kristen Gaffey took fifth in the women’s discus throw with a distance of 136 feet, 4 inches. On the track, sophomore Nicole Ethier won the women’s 400 meter run in 59.01 seconds. Junior Glenn Lawrence and freshman Brandon Bell had identical times of 11.23 seconds in the men’s 100 meter dash, with Lawrence finishing fourth and Bell fifth. At the Benedict College Twilight Invite in Lisle, Ill. sophomore Max Kilpin recorded a personal-best in the men’s high jump with a height of 2.00 meters, and freshman Joel Swanberg also notched a new best with a height of 1.75 meters. The Golden Eagles’ next meet is Friday, May 2, at Purdue’s Dave Rankin Invitational, followed by the Big East Outdoor Championships May 9-11 in Philadelphia, hosted by Villanova.
