MU adopts ‘Good Samaritan’ MUSG initiative to be implemented after 4 years of discussion By Joe Kvartunas
joseph.kvartunas@marquette.edu
The university recently implemented the “Good Samaritan Policy,” which changes the disciplinary actions normally associated with alcohol or drug violations if action is taken to protect a student in danger. The policy states that in the event of a medical emergency involving alcohol, Marquette students are expected to contact proper authorities, “…regardless of the potential for being found responsible for violations of student standards of conduct involving alcohol or drug use.” “The intent of the GSP is to remove any barriers to students calling for assistance for other students who might be in danger,” said Erin Lazzar, associate dean of students. “Our hope is that all students feel comfortable and compelled to call for assistance for their peers - to be See Samaritan, page 3

Vacant Provost seat to be filled by next semester Search for MU’s second in command underway since July By Natalie Wickman

The search is underway for a new Provost, slated to be chosen in spring 2014, to fill a position left vacant by John Pauly’s return to teaching duties. The new Provost will be responsible for implementing the changes described in the university’s strategic plan. “The next Provost will be the clear number two, second only to the President in the leadership structure,” University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz S.J. said in a letter to the university community. “The Provost must be the most important decision maker regarding the budget.” The combined efforts of search

John Su, chair of the Provost search committee and a professor of English, said his responsibility is to ensure that the selection process is fair and transparent. “(I’m) making sure that all stakeholders have the opportunity to have input, and student voices will be very important throughout this process,” Su said. Once the candidates have been chosen, Pilarz will then make a final selection. In preparation for the search, an “Opportunity and Challenge Profile” was finalized in July. It includes both the Provost job description and Marquette’s strategic plan titled, “Beyond Boundaries: Setting the Course for Marquette’s Future.” See Provost, page 5

Family, friends continue to memorialize Carr months after death studying abroad
Students, friends, administrators and family members sustained a network of support in the months following the death of Andrew Keith Carr, a junior in the College of Business Administration, and those efforts will continue this semester. Carr died June 11 after falling onto a landing along the Tiber River in Rome, where he was studying abroad at John Cabot University. The Rev.

U.S. prepared for Syrian intervention
The Syrian government requested to keep the U.N.’s team of chemical weapon inspectors in Damascus beyond its Sunday deadline, which would prevent the U.S. from taking any military action in the country, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. According to the Post, the Obama administration believes U.S. intelligence has established that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against rebels in last week’s attack outside Damascus. Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel told the BBC Tuesday that the U.S. is “ready to go” and “comply with whatever option the president wishes to take.” Russia, Syria’s main arms provider and ally, used its position on the U.N. Security Council to veto a resolution condemning the Assad regime’s alleged use of chemical weapons and calling for a response to end it. According to Russian authorities, any intervention by foreign powers will only lead to further catastrophe for the war-torn country and its neighbors. “The West behaves towards the Islamic world like a monkey with a grenade,” said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on Twitter.

Samaritan: Policy comes close to a year after alcohol fines introduced responsible bystanders doing their part to ensure a safer and healthier campus community.” The policy has been an initiative of Marquette University Student Government in some form or another during the past four years. The policy in its current form was passed by MUSG at the end of last semester. MUSG President Sam Schultz, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, witnessed the entirety of the GSP debate, dating back to his freshman year. Shultz said he gives credit to outgoing Schroeder Hall Senator Thomas Schick, a junior in the College of Business Administration, for finally getting it passed. “I think the hold-up has always been we got caught up in the ‘how many strikes do people get’ and the whole amnesty thing,” Shultz said. “Then Thomas and his business administration committee kind of came at it from this different angle of ‘no it’s not about the safety,’ but then also leaving some of the control in the hands of the officers who are trained in this.” Schick, who became chair of the business administration committee at the start of last semester, said the policy was a collaborative effort between all Tribune File Photo members of the MUSG senates While the Good Samaritan Policy offers amnesty to students who call for help, it does not protect against MPD issuing citations for underage drinking. that worked on it in the past. “First of all, there was an in- have it concrete, because one, the past year, citing concerns published in the 2012 Annual it more dangerous.” Schultz said he has mixed credible foundation laid when it becomes enforceable, and over the privacy of students.

Provost: Committee begins nationwide search for new MU Provost “This plan outlines the need for the Marquette community to embrace new and collaborative methods of teaching, learning, research and service so that students are prepared for lives as change agents and problem-solvers in a world of growing complexity,” the profile states. Since the provost search is being conducted on a national level, Su said the committee is still focusing on finding suitable candidates. Su said he is hoping to get the campus community involved with all stages of the search and is taking nominations for the role.
“To preserve anonymity, the campus community is invited to send nominations directly to Isaacson, Miller,” Su said. “The campus community will participate again when we bring finalists to campus in January.” Marquette University has already had a series of opportunities to aid the provost search, including chances to revise the Opportunity and Challenge Profile. According to Su, Marquette University Student Government provided plenty of input. “The biggest thing we want from a new Provost is a

Sensenbrenner Hall to be completed in fall 2014 MU historic buildings’ internal work to begin in upcoming summer By Elizabeth Baker Special to the Tribune
Construction on Sensenbrenner Hall, Marquette Hall, and Johnston Hall is on schedule and expected to be completed in fall 2014. Thomas Ganey, vice president of planning and university architect, said the construction team is nine months into the three-year project. “The expectation is that in May, Sensenbrenner will be complete,” Ganey said. “Johnston will undergo the bulk of its work beginning in summer of 2014. The main focus here is that the work is related to infrastructure – heating, cooling, plumbing.” Administrative offices for the College of Arts & Sciences, including the English, philosophy, history and theology departments, will move to Marquette Hall and Sensenbrenner, while the College of Communication will receive other enhancements in Johnston once the other projects are complete. Coughlin Hall, the current home for the moving Arts & Sciences departments, will undergo renovations of its own after the departments move. Ganey said the project is “a reinvestment in historic buildings.” The university opened Marquette Hall and Sensenbrenner in the 1920s, making them two of the oldest academic buildings on campus. Sensenbrenner housed the University’s Law School before Eckstein Hall opened in 2010. James Marten, chair and professor of the history department, said he looks forward to his department’s future move to Sensenbrenner. “It will feature the department in a different way,” Marten said. “There will be public areas to display awards and books, a kiosk in the lobby for students to access information, and a flat screen TV in the entrance.” Marten agreed with Ganey about the project being a reinvestment

in historic buildings, adding that “the project deals with respecting it as an old building, but now with modern office space.” Philosophy offices in Coughlin Hall are experiencing problems with wasps and previously experienced problems with leaks and flooding. The move to Marquette Hall will allow the time and space necessary to begin renovation in Coughlin Hall. Ganey also said Coughlin Hall will eventually house Student Disability

Service, Student Education Service, and Education Opportunity programs and offices. The new Marquette Hall will provide classroom space, conference rooms, seminar rooms and advising offices all in the same building. James South, chair of the philosophy department, also said he is glad to leave the philosophy offices in Coughlin Hall. “It will be a student friendly environment,” South said, “a place for hanging out, using the
Wi-Fi, sitting in a comfy chair, or studying.” South said that because Marquette Hall will house the philosophy, English and theology departments, the new facility will create a community of learning within the three departments.

campus shows Father Pilarz’s and the university administration’s commitment to the College of Arts & Sciences and its importance to the identity of Marquette,” South said. “(The new building) will facilitate our ability to be more accessible to students, interact more with students, and enhance our presence on campus.” “What’s most promising here is that this is a new beginning for the department and a new way of being at Marquette,” South said.

Instructor pioneers online applied investment class Investment class open to public; students will receive no credit By Jason Kurtyka
jason.kurtyka@marquette.edu
David Krause, director of the Applied Investment Management program, noticed a growing trend over the past few years: Students and individuals in the workforce desire diverse academic opportunities. Krause decided to take action by bringing a massive open online course on applied investing to Marquette, the first of its kind. Students in the four-week
survey of investing course will learn about investment tools such as common stock, bonds, real estate and alternative investments. The self-paced course is open to anyone in the university and begins Sept. 23. “I designed the course where there is one lesson per day,” Krause said. “But theoretically, a student could complete all the lessons and assignments in a linear fashion.” Over the summer, Krause recorded all the lectures and designed all the assignments for the class, which makes it posDave Krause sible for students to complete the class on their own time. Krause said a second inspiration

average survey class. He believes individuals will take the class with a purpose and learn a great deal about investing because of it. Only a small number of schools have employed a MOOC, including Brown University and Santa Clara University. Krause believes that Marquette is among the first to offer a MOOC on applied investing. He also noted that the average age of an individual taking this type of class is 35 years old. Some say an open class gives students outside the College of Business Administration the opportunity to take a class on investing they normally would not be able to take. “I think this is a great idea,” said Jasmine Hempel, a junior in the College of Communication. “Investing can be considered a life skill, and this class could be really helpful. I’ll definitely consider taking it.”

Haggerty features MU favorites Campus community highlights art musem’s permanant collection By Brian Keogh
brian.keogh@marquette.edu
Just as appreciating art needs critical thinking and aesthetic awareness, it’s also about making a personal connection. This fall, the Haggerty Museum of Art on Marquette’s campus is presenting an exhibit that explores the personal side of choosing art and embraces the close connection between the museum and the campus community. “Reseeing the Permanent Collection: The Viewer’s Voice,” will be on display through Dec. 22, featuring a collection of favorite works from the Haggerty’s permanent collection chosen by Marquette students, faculty and administrators. Participants searched through the online catalog of 2,100 images from the Haggerty’s permanent collection, only a fraction of the museum’s full collection of 5,000 works. They then chose their favorite artwork ranging from the Renaissance to present day.After the pieces were selected, John Loscuito, the Haggerty registrar, took viewers to see the art in the Haggerty’s vault. “It made a big difference because some people, because of scale, texture, or color, had a different impression of the work, so that was an important shift when you see details you couldn’t see online,” Loscuito said. After participants finalized their pick for favorite work in person, Lynne Schumow, curator of education at the Haggerty, asked the viewers to write about a personal connection they felt with the work, avoiding the pretension sometimes associated with art criticism. “(This project) is a great way to learn visual literacy and to think in a different way. There is something for everyone to use here in an educational way and also in an enlightenment way,” Schumow said. “We wanted some sort of personal connection that would make this really different,” Schumow said. University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz participated in the exhibit, selecting the oil painting, “The Lamentation of Mary Over the Body of Christ with Angels Holding the Symbols of the Passion,” by Spanish Renaissance artist Juan Correa de Vivar. The piece depicts an emotional scene between Mary and Jesus in the passion story from the Bible. For Pilarz, the work captures the importance of emotion in Jesuit teaching. “One of the great geniuses or great ideas that Ignatius had was this connection between emotion and religious experience, that it
wasn’t simply a matter of the head or thinking about religion, but you wanted people to react emotionally and directly with religious reality,” Pilarz said. Scott Dale, an associate professor of Spanish, reflected on “Dolores,” an abstract work by Spanish painter Antonio Saura. A mess of color and texture, the work displays the artist’s raw emotion. Every semester Dale brings his classes to see this work among others by Spanish artists. Expressing feeling about the art is familiar to Dale with his classes taking the first step towards interpretation every semester as they view the work. “It’s a big ball of emotions,” explained Dale, “and in the end it is really the human element this work captures.” Elizabeth University President Owen, a sethe Rev. Scott Pilarz nior in the College of Arts & Sciences and a student guard at the Haggerty, picked a mixed media piece, “Dual Personality,” by Lucia Stern that depicts two figures connected in a meditative pose. For Owen, it revealed a contrast. “(The image) is so serene and that was what attracted me to it,” Owen said. “I feel like many aspects of my life are needlessly chaotic and to come across an image that so starkly contrasted my internal existence, it gave

me things to consider.” Sarah Wadsworth, director of u n - dergraduate studies at Marquette, chose artist Kara Wa l k e r ’s etching “no world” for the way the image recalls her work in 19th century American Literature. In making a connection, Wadsworth said she also drew upon her experience “early on in her college years in physics and math.” For Wadsworth, the work evolved when she realized that the image was not one of national mythmaking, but rather a take on Plymouth. “The plant isn’t corn, but it turns out to be tobacco and the slave doesn’t fit, but what drew me to the piece was the shared cultural understanding all Americans have from preschool on,” Wadsworth said. Daniel Flesch, a student guard and junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, chose “Figaro,” a work by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. The piece is a statue depicting Figaro, a figure from music Flesch was immediately drawn to as a musician himself. Flesch, with his experience in the Haggerty, found the writing initially demanding. “Constructing it is a challenge because you want to come off appropriate and proper,” Flesch said, recalling the writing process. “It was a different type of challenge for me. I was taking organic chemistry at the time.” Again and again, the viewers explained what a treasure the
“The Lamentation of Mary Over the Body of Christ with Angels Holding the Symbols of the Passion” by Juan Correa de Vivar, chosen by Pilarz
Haggerty is for Marquette. “(The Haggerty) is not only important to Marquette, but an asset to all of Milwaukee,” Pilarz said. It’s an important point to remember with a campus centrally located in Milwaukee, the largest urban population center in Wisconsin. Marquette has a priceless museum full of artwork readily available on campus and next to classrooms. The museum sends the treasures in its vault to exhibitions around the world, including
works by Salvador Dali, Keith Haring and photographer Diane Arbus. This exhibit is special, providing a lens revealing not only the artwork itself but also the Marquette community and the lasting connection to the museum. Marquette students, staff and visitors can stop by the Haggerty to see selections and learn something about art, the Haggerty and even members of their own community.

The university’s digital archives are full of these random Marquette facts. You can find pictures of Martin Sheen receiving his honorary degree in 2003. There is an account of famous graffiti artist Keith Haring painting a mural around the Haggerty museum’s construction site in 1983. You can even find records of then-candidate Richard Nixon visiting in 1956, John F. Kennedy talking to Marquette’s young Democrats in 1959, Jimmy Carter speaking in Marquette Hall in 1976 and a Democratic primary debate held in the Alumni Memorial Union in 2004.
I first started ferreting through Marquette’s digital records last year to research a story on a journalism alumnus. But I found myself returning to the collection with no particular goal in mind, pouring over the impressive digital archive, especially issues of the old Marquette yearbook, The Hilltop, published from 1915 to 1996. Beyond photos of each year’s events and students, The Hilltop often featured long articles attempting to capture the zeitgeist on campus each year. The ‘90s yearbooks were worried about the grunge of Nirvana going mainstream, the ‘60s talked of protests and counter-culture at Marquette, the ‘80s praised the rise of MTV. There is Marquette’s reflections on the huge news events — wars, social movements, political scandals — as well as more personal, and surprisingly creative and candid pieces like lyrics to 1977’s “College Degenerate Blues,” essays criticizing different campus policies or clubs and always (always!) descriptions of the best places to drink on campus. Reading these records began as a sort of aimless fact finding, looking for brushes with fame, seeing the changing fads in bands, music and hairstyles (the feathered hair of the ‘70s is glorious, by the way). I even found Chris Farley’s picture in 1984, which looks as

The question shuffle

STAFF EDITORIAL
New addition to alcohol policy leaves questions unanswered ugh. trying to understand this alcohol policy makes me want to have a drink.
Illustration by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu
Our view: We believe the Good Samaritan Policy is a step in the right direction, bu† the university is not doing enough to publicize it and clarify the specifics. After a night of heavy drinking, your best friend is vomiting, nearly unresponsive and clearly in trouble. What do you do? Do you call the Department of Public Safety for help and risk getting your friend and yourself in trouble? Or, do you do nothing, call no one, and take care of your friend to the best of your ability? Thanks to Marquette’s new “Good Samaritan Policy,” individuals will officially be able to seek help from DPS without facing the more severe repercussions of the university’s Drug and Alcohol Policy. The Good Samaritan Policy states that students reporting to DPS will not face formal Marquette disciplinary actions or sanctions for alcohol or drug violations relating to the event, though the university reserves the ability to assign educational consequences and the incident will be recorded. The policy does not, however, protect students from possible police action and would not serve as a “get out of jail free” card for students. Although Marquette University Student Government and the administration deserve commendation for instituting a Good Samaritan Policy similar to what several other Jesuit schools already have in place, there is still one major question left publicly unanswered: what happens to the individual in need of medical attention? If students in need of help will still be culpable for their actions and face university sanctions, it stands to reason that a
friend’s loyalty may well outweigh common sense, especially if all parties involved are intoxicated. In border line instances where it is unclear if a student is in need of medical attention, students will be much less likely to call DPS for help knowing that their actions will eventually lead to their friends facing university sanctions. Despite how far the university has come in implementing this policy, few details are known about the policy itself. In contrast to the alcohol policy instituted last year, which was well publicized and well explained to a point, details of the Good Samaritan Policy have been few and slow to come. The email that Christopher Miller, vice president for student affairs, sent out Tuesday seemed more of an afterthought than a priority. With a policy that has the potential to be as popular as this, why would the university not publicize it more, especially when it is a student health and safety issue? The alcohol policy, of which the Good Samaritan Policy is the newest addition, has changed significantly over the past few years. Unfortunately with the large degree of change, there has not been an equal amount of explanation. This leaves students wondering exactly when and how they are liable for university sanctions. These new policies demonstrate that the administration’s top priority is not collecting fines or getting students in trouble, but rather ensuring student health and safety. Now the administration needs to focus on communicating both the new Good Samaritan Policy and the enduring Drug and Alcohol Policy instituted last year.
Helen Hillis Ladies and gentlemen, a dreaded event is upon us. It’s not the completion of syllabus week. It’s not the inevitable influx of DPS reports. It’s not even the fear of being called a freshman. No, this week marks the start of a campuswide epidemic: the question shuffle. I took some artistic liberty with its nomenclature, but we all know exactly what I’m talking about: that awkward yet obligatory rotation of questions which suddenly becomes our form of communication. We shuffle with the familiar faces we don’t know well enough to have a real conversation with. It’s the alternative to avoiding eye contact on Wisconsin Avenue. The shuffle starts move-in week with “how was your summer?!” Responses vary from “great” to “good” and maybe even “fantastic.” If you’re talking to someone other than that girl you did a group project with freshmen year, you might even get some geographical details, “I was home / in Milwaukee / Italy.” He or she will then return the favor, to which you might even add a head bob as you say “so much fun.” The hope is the two of you will then part ways. If the odds are not in your favor, you awkwardly continue walking in the same direction through the AMU. I may be going out on a limb here, but
I’m pretty sure that the ex-boyfriend of my friend’s roommate from sophomore year who I now awkwardly run into every couple of months, doesn’t care how my summer went. I appreciate that you are trying to be friendly, but let’s be real, if you’re asking how my summer went then you don’t know I really didn’t have much of a summer at all. I moved back from Chile in mid-July and then spent a month trying not to say “gracias” when someone would hold the door open for me. Despite how exhausting and dull the shuffle is, I will still be taking part this year. As a senior, I have practically mastered where the next few months will take us: Mid-September, we will switch into “how are your classes going?” Then we will make our way to “how are your midterms looking?” Then fall break, then the anticipation of Thanksgiving, then how Thanksgiving went, then finals prep and Christmas, and voila! We’ve finished the semester. To put it simply, the question shuffle is the continuous recycling of “how was your (insert holiday here)?” Answers will remain relatively constant. Of course every rule has an exception, so get excited for the ever-mysterious inquiries about midterms and finals. They could be anywhere from, “not too bad” to “absolutely horrible” to “pretty good, actually.” Think of all the options! For those of you who are fans of the shuffle, don’t worry: It’ll start right back up again in January as we anxiously await the answer to, “how was your winter break?” Let me guess, it was “so great to be home,” but you are “glad to be back.” Helen Hillis is a senior studying international affairs and Spanish.

Online news buzzing with possibilities
Eric Oliver A friend of mine said last year that he was sick of the popular social, viral website Buzzfeed. I had just discovered the buzz worthy site at the time and did not agree with him. I was entertained by its lists and looked forward to what ridiculous compilation it would feature next on the site. I did not
think Buzzfeed was that bad — until I found out that Buzzfeed considers itself a news outlet. That is when I saw what my friend was talking about. Buzzfeed by the loosest sense of the word is a news gathering agency. It has a branch of the website devoted to news, and I believe that its efforts in the news section could only be called aggregation if you were being incredibly generous. It might be because of my three years at Marquette learning to be a journalist, but I just cannot consider Buzzfeed a serious journalistic voice when every other post is about cats. Buzzfeed takes the news and presents it in some sort of ridiculous GIFfilled post featuring clips from popular movies and pop culture. Then it takes ideas going viral on other sites, re-brand them and presents them in an attempt to gain more hits on the site.
M C T S
Even though I disagree with its journalistic labeling, Buzzfeed is doing one thing right — it is separating itself from the boring, cookie-cutter online newspaper. Ever since newspapers started the digital transition, there have been problems. It does not really seem as though anyone knows how to effectively transition the newspaper to the Internet, and until we figure it out, the media is just going to be a series of experiments. Buzzfeed can generate buzz. The site has viral capabilities and its posts stand out, but Buzzfeed just is not what I imagined the future of American news media would be when I started showing an interest in journalism nine years ago. I knew from my second day at Marquette, when I had my first class with Stephen Byers, and he told us that we live in interesting times, that the future of journalism could be anything imaginable.

When I was little, I practically worshiped newspapers and held them to the highest regard. I loved seeing names in print so much that when my byline was published for the first time in the Franklin Park Gazette (for my first ever book review in fourth grade), I bought three copies and would not let anyone touch them. I always imagined my future would be something like that. Seeing my name everyday in print and having my words go out to thousands of readers daily. Today, I have a different view brought on by Buzzfeed and the failing print medium. It may not be the future I imagined when I was growing up, but it is the future that I am learning to embrace, and at the end of the day, I still think my byline will be everywhere.

Men look to build on last season’s Big East success Reinvigorated attack could improve 16-4-1 record from last year By Andrew Dawson
andrew.dawson@marquette.edu
This time last year, Marquette’s men’s soccer team was unranked and was not expected to have the 16-4-1 season it did. The team now stands at 12th in the country on the preseason NSCAA rankings, prepped for another great run. The disappointing 4-4-1 finish after the 12-0-0 start left the squad hungry to rebound, but overall, the team views last season as a monumental success and hopes to build on it. “I wouldn’t say we fluttered out (last season), I’d say quite the opposite. I’d say we went out swinging,” coach Louis Bennett said. “Obviously, I would have liked to change the results, but I don’t know that we would have done anything differently. We were what we were and I was pretty proud of what we were.” In terms of personnel, not much has changed. The defense returns all of its starters along with redshirt junior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon who is considered one of the top keepers in college by Top Drawer Soccer. On offense, the loss of leading scorer Andy
Huftalin removes a key piece of the attacking threat. However, redshirt sophomore C. Nortey, Marquette’s 2011 leading scorer as a freshman, returns after sitting out last year due to an offseason knee surgery. Nortey played his freshman season while injured and still led the offense with 20 points (9 G, 2 A). The recovery process caused problems for Nortey, but he said he feels healthy and ready to contribute. “Now that I’m back and I’m doing really great, I feel a little extra sharp,” Nortey said. “I feel like I am going to contribute well for the team, because I feel good and my knees are well.” Senior co-captain Bryan Ciesiulka, the highest ranked Marquette player in Top Drawer Soccer’s top 100 preseason rankings, solidifies the midfield with great play up and down the field. He tied for first in assists with nine and tied for second in points with 19. T h e o n l y s i g nificant change is the new Big East conference. Powerhouses No. 7 Notre Dame and No.
Senior Midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka
5 Connecticut, now members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, will be replaced by No. 6 Creighton and Xavier. Both teams made the NCAA tournament as did Big East members St. John’s and 2013 Big East Coaches’ favorite No. 3 Georgetown. Though the new conference brings new faces, the players expect to play every game the same way. “It doesn’t matter who we play,” Ciesiulka said. “We’re going to go out and look at every game the same way expecting to win that game.” Among the many match-ups to watch, the Marquette rivalry with Wisconsin-Milwaukee for the Milwaukee Cup is one of the first challenges for the Golden Eagles. The local rivalry goes back to 1972 and Milwaukee owns the 27-10-3 overall record. Last season, the game ended with a last second half-bicycle kick by junior midfielder Sebastian Jansson to win the game 3-2 and reclaim the Milwaukee Cup. A city is not all the two teams share. Coach Bennett was the Milwaukee coach for ten years before crossing sides to lead Marquette. Though Bennett does not believe that the switch has changed the rivalry, there have been some subtle increases in attendance since his transfer. “It’s been hotted up since I’ve been here,” Bennett said. “I don’t necessarily believe that, but there’s definitely been an increase in attendance. It’s definitely a cup that’s been around a long time. It’s a trophy that’s worth having.” The quest for a season of brilliance to capture the College Cup begins this weekend at 7:30 p.m. at Englemann Field on Milwaukee’s campus as Marquette plays Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Fans won’t let Braun off the hook yet
Trey Killian Some athletes play well enough to become household names at one point in their careers. Over the summer, Ryan Braun did so a second time for all the wrong reasons. Here was a promising young talent who had the hearts of Brewers fans in the palm of his hand. In just a few months, he threw it all away. The national media, other players and fans have done an effective job vilifying him as a boldfaced liar. But what’s most intriguing now is what he’ll do next. Brewers fans are understandably heartbroken over one of their team’s players cheating and spewing mistruths about it. As human beings, however, we can all sympathize with the desire to correct a mistake. Braun took “step one” by formally apologizing last week in the form of a letter to the fans. Based on the text of that letter, improving his humility and attitude toward the situation should be his next step. Within the three-paragraph statement, Braun managed to use “I” 23 times. By making himself the subject of nearly every sentence, he comes across as totally selfish. He also expressed that he came forward because, “I knew it was time for me to tell the truth and accept my punishment.” In the age of digital media where most fans stay constantly informed on current events, it’s not exactly “telling the truth” if they’ve already heard it from everyone but you. It gives the impression of talking down to his audience’s intelligence, as does another claim that there were “no excuses” for his actions. If there are no excuses for taking performance-enhancing drugs, then why take them at all? Rather than using the tired, clichéd copout, Braun should explain the pressures behind his decision and his experience of the drugs’ effects. That would at least be beneficial to public understanding of baseball’s ever-permeating issue. It’s too late for Braun to take the Andy Pettitte route by being honest early on and humbly playing out the rest of his career. To that point, however, Pettitte was never the centerpiece of an entire franchise. That’s what makes Braun’s response so important. To his credit, Braun was right about the system being “flawed” when he gave his now infamous statement of innocence a year ago. The fact that he and others were able to outfox the MLB’s drug policy means more explanations and “apologies” will follow. Unlike Pettitte, it’s highly unlikely that what Braun does between now and the end of his career will save his image, although it will certainly set a standard for the perpetrators of years to come.

Cross Country hopes for top-half finish in Big East Optimism rests with Agnew for men, Spencer for women
By Christopher Chavez
christopher.chavez@marquette.edu
A new look for the Big East conference and the loss of several runners to graduation and transfers are just two components driving intrigue around the 2013 season for Marquette’s men’s and women’s cross-country teams. Head coach Mike Nelson, now entering his seventh season at Marquette, is not only coaching the teams, but planning the Big East Championship, which will
be held Nov. 2 at the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross-Country Course in Somers, Wis. “I think one of my major goals is to finish in the top half of the conference at the Big East Championship,” Nelson said. “It’s a very good cross-country conference with some of the best programs in the country. To be in the top half initially will be a good goal and then hopefully move up from there. We want to be a top-10 team in our region.” The Marquette men are ranked 15th in the preseason NCAA Great Lakes Regional rankings, while the women are unranked. On the national level, the Big East has No. 24 Georgetown and No. 27 Villanova, while the women’s side has No. 1 Providence (receiving 11 first-place votes after their second-place finish
at last year’s NCAA Championship), No. 6 Georgetown (2012 Big East Champions), No. 12 Villanova and No. 30 Butler. Last year’s Marquette teams saw strong performances from freshmen. Now sophomores, William Hennessy and Cody Haberkorn have matured and are expected to step up into bigger roles after placing fourth and sixth on the team at the Big East Championship in 2012. After being the team’s top finisher at most meets, Molly Hanson decided to transfer to Wisconsin. The move opens up a chance for sophomores like Kellie Greenwood or Kayla Spencer to fill her shoes. Greenwood is recovering from a minor injury, while Spencer showed some upside as the Alumni Run winner on the women’s side.
Nelson hopes another leader emerges from a group of upperclassmen that may have struggled last year or been hurt. “I know we’ve got the girls that can step up,” Nelson said. “Somebody like Sarah Ball had a rough year last year overall or Elisia Meyle, who started off the year our number one and then she had some injury issues. We have the bodies, it’s just they haven’t all been ready to go.” Men’s runners Connor Callahan, A.J. Gedwill, Jack Hackett and Patrick Maag have all graduated, leaving the title of top runner up for grabs between captains Jack Senefeld and Spencer Agnew. Agnew won the Alumni Run with Senefeld just a second behind him. “I think with both of them as
one improves, the other will improve,” Nelson said. “I just see them working together all season long. You could not ask for two better captains.” When one was healthy last year, the other was not. Senefeld began the season recovering from a summer injury, while Agnew struggled in the second half of the year. A summer of training and staying healthy now has them ready for competition. The Golden Eagles will open their season in style with new gold uniforms at the Badger Classic in Verona, Wis. When the men’s team last competed on that course, Marquette prevented the Wisconsin Badgers from an undefeated season en route to their National Championship title in 2011.
