Press Club to honor Foley James Foley to be inducted into MKE media hall of fame By Kevin Edgeworth

Restaurant operates under temporary food license until Sept. 20
The Milwaukee Press Club recently announced it will posthumously induct Marquette alumnus James Foley into its Milwaukee media hall of fame this fall. Foley, a 1996 graduate, was captured while working as a freelance journalist covering the Syrian Civil War in 2012. He was executed Aug. 19, 2014 by ISIS. Thomas Durkin, an adjunct professor of English at Marquette and a friend of Foley’s, will accept the award at the ceremony on behalf of Foley and his family. “I’m certain Jim would be proud that his work has been recognized by his peers,” Durkin said. “Even more importantly, Jim would continue to advocate for those journalists who shed light in dark areas of the world even in these increasingly hostile times. Jim, like most war correspondents, believed in being a voice for those who so often remain voiceless.” The Milwaukee Press Club on its website states that it See FOLEY page 6
Sobelmans reopens, donates to charities

Sobelmans at Marquette almost faced a two-week closure due to licensing issues, but the restaurant dodged termination when one owner convinced the alderman to grant a temporary food license for the sake of its employees and promised to donate to charity. The restaurant was closed by the city a week ago because the owners missed a hearing on July 12 to renew their food and liquor licenses. Usually, a hearing is not necessary for renewal, but one was issued due to the shooting in front of the restaurant this past June. The owners await a hearing Sept. 20 to determine if their licenses will be renewed. “There are numerous things that come up daily (in running a restaurant), but this one slipped. It got by us,” owner Dave Sobelman said of an overlooked letter about the hearing.
Marquette alumnus James Foley will be inducted into the Milwaukee media hall of fame Oct. 28.

Presidential election voting process explained Experts reccomend pre-registering to avoid long lines By Alex Groth
alexandria.groth@marquette.edu
As Election Day approaches, students who are voting in their first presidential race can find it difficult–even deterring–to register to vote, particularly in light of the long lines at April’s primary election. “It took a solid few hours just for the primaries,” said
Rachel Garcia, sophomore in the College of Health Sciences. “So imagine what it would be like when it actually came down to voting for the president–it’d be even longer.” While students can register to vote at the polls on Election Day, early registration is also available by mail, special registration deputy or at their municipal clerk’s office. Early Voter Registration To counter the long lines at April’s primary election, Marquette is offering students early voter registration at the Alumni Memorial Union
weekdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students will be able to register for voting through Wednesday, Oct. 19, which is the last day Wisconsin voters can register in advance. Early voter registration at Marquette is led by special registration deputies, who are trained volunteers who register voters. “We are trying to make this as easy as possible for Marquette students,” Mary CzechMrochinski, associate vice president for public affairs, said in an email. “Some students do not realize that if they are
originally from out of Wisconsin that they are able to vote in Wisconsin on Election Day as long as they meet the residency and other requirements.” To register to vote, proof of residence, a social security number and Wisconsin driver’s license or Wisconsin Department of Transportation-issued ID are required. Voters can provide the last four digits of their social security number if they do not have a Wisconsin driver’s or Wisconsin DOT-issued ID. Proof of residence must state that the individual has lived in
Wisconsin for at least 10 days. A driver’s license, utility bill, bank statement, copy of housing lease, or a student ID with proof of enrollment are the most commonly used identifications to prove residence. Students can also register to vote by mail through myvote. wi.gov, at their municipal clerk’s office, or at the poles on Election Day. Joe Czarnezki, Milwaukee County Clerk, said students should be more prepared to engage in the civic process.

Student works to involve women in STEM Women Engineer Society to help tutor at middle schools By Matthew Harte
matthew.harte@marquette.edu
A sophomore in the College of Engineering received a 2016 Strategic Innovation Fund Award for her project that sends members of the Marquette Society of Women Engineers to tutor middle school students. Karlie Hornberger’s project addresses the lack of young women interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, by providing students with successful female role models. The fund is run through Marquette’s Office of Research and Innovation and provides money for awardees to develop their projects. Hornberger’s awareness of the lack of women in STEM fields became more prevalent when she came to Marquette.
“It wasn’t always obvious in my high school classes,” Hornberger said. “We actually usually had more girls in the STEM classes than boys. Once I got here, the balance definitely fell the other way. In my freshman engineering class, I think we had 40 kids in the room at a time and there were only like five girls. That same ratio is holding this year.” Hornberger is working on the project with Maureen Mikkelsen, a senior in the College of Engineering and member of the Society of Women Engineers. Mikkelsen said the upperclasswomen in the society already take on a mentorship role for underclasswomen. “The essence of the group is collaboration for all girls in Marquette’s College of Engineering and an opportunity for the upper class students to help develop the younger students professionally,” Mikkelsen said. “This includes network prepping, resume building, career fair information, corporate seminars,

women in the industry coming in to talk and answer questions and social events.” Hornberger described how the Society of Women Engineers is an ideal fit for their proposed mentorship program. “We thought it was a good venue where we could find a lot of female engineering mentors that are aware of the STEM gap (who) want to mentor others,” Hornberger said. Hornberger teamed up with a local Milwaukee startup named STEMhero to further the project. Nate Conroy, STEMhero’s founder, said his company has a mission to direct students into STEM fields. “We’re focused on making science, math and engineering relevant and closing the gap in diversity,” Conroy said. “We don’t have enough diversity of students going into STEM fields. We don’t have enough students of color and females going into these fields.” Hornberger described meeting Conroy at The Commons, a program showcasing innovation and entrepreneurship in Milwaukee. “Conroy struck up a conversation with me one morning
because he knew that I was a female engineering student and I have this mission to engage young students,” Hornberger said. “I did a mentorship program with them last fall with some middle schoolers.” Mikkelsen worked with Hornberger on STEMhero’s pilot mentorship program and believes it was successful. “Last fall Karlie and I were piloting the program with a few fifth-grade students in the Whitefish Bay area,” Mikkelsen said. “The pilot went really well and the girls were excited every week to meet up and continue the lesson. It was a very neat experience.” Hornberger said the mentorship program they did with STEMhero established the model for which their program will expand with the Society of Women Engineers. “It’s been a pretty interactive process overall because they’re the ones that had the connection to the middle school and they have experience running the program,” Hornberger said. “It was very guided by STEMhero and they set the model for how it’s going to work. Now Maureen and I are going to take it and bring
it to more schools.” Hornberger described her reaction to winning the Strategic Innovation Fund Award and her appreciation for the other projects. “I was very excited,” Hornberger said. “It was during exam week so there was a lot going on, but I got the email and was like, ‘That’s awesome.’ It was a cool process, a lot of people submitted a lot of neat projects. There were a lot of faculty-run projects, but it was really cool to see the couple of student-run projects like ours and see what people want to do around campus.” Hornberger believes that the award will bring new opportunities for the project. “It’s definitely an opportunity to bring a good merit to the project around campus,” Hornberger said. “We really have a chance to work on it and develop it with these funds.” Conroy said that Hornberger is a good example for young students to look up to. “It’s refreshing to see successful students like Karlie as an example,” Conroy said. “That’s how you motivate younger students.”
Phone calls demand money
Students targeted by fake IRS calls asking personal information By Dean Bibens
dean.bibens@marquette.edu
Over the past few weeks, individuals falsely claiming to be the Internal Revenue Service have targeted several Marquette students by calling them and asking for personal information. According to MUPD students were told by the individuals that they owed the IRS money and if they don’t give them all of their personal information, the students will be tracked down and arrested. “When a person hears they owe money and they will be arrested because they haven’t paid that debt, it frightens them and they feel obligated to pay something that they do not owe,” Jeff Kranz, Marquette
University Police captain, said. MUPD Chief Paul Mascari said several of the students being targeted on Marquette’s campus are international students. “For those students who are not very fluent in English, it is hard for them to understand why people are demanding

money from them,” he said. “These individuals claiming to be part of the IRS are trying to take advantage of the fact
that these students are from a different country.” On Aug. 31, an unidentified student received a call from a person claiming to be from the IRS and gave them their Visa card number. Losses are estimated at $4,742, according to an MUPD report. Mascari said the student who gave out his or her card information was an international student. The IRS website advises people that the individuals can alter the caller identification to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names, bogus IRS identification badge numbers and often leave an “urgent” callback request. “The best thing to do when you get a call like that is hang up and come to the Marquette Police Department if you have any concerns.” Mascari said. “The IRS will never call you if you actually owe something to them; they will send you documentation via the mail.”

SOBELMANS, from page 1
Bauman changes his mind after reading letter As a result, the license expired Aug. 31, but the restaurant did not close until Sept. 6. According to Alderman Robert Bauman, it was operating illegally after the August expiration date. Before the restaurant officially closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sobelman spoke to many local news outlets. “He was on TV essentially daring the city to shut him down even though he didn’t have the proper licenses,” Bauman said. Bauman also said that he had not personally spoken to Sobelman about the restaurant closing. “I have yet to speak to him about this because I think he’s been a big cry baby,” Bauman said. “Frankly, he just launched into a temper tantrum.” Sobelman said his main concern was his 40 employees, including students, who would have been without work for two weeks. He had choice words for the alderman. “It annoys me to no end that I’m self-employed with three restaurants, I employ 100 people and I work seven days a week,” Sobelman said. “This prick is a county employee who barely puts in eight hours a day, five days a week. When he’s sleeping in late, I’m up early, running around opening up three restaurants making sure staff is all ready to go.” Bauman would be able to give him a temporary food license, but initially did not issue it. “You’re basically slandering the person who has authority and can give you a break—very odd

behavior,” Bauman said. The restaurant remained closed for two days, and would have stayed closed until the September hearing if it was not for a letter the alderman received from Sobelman’s wife and partial business owner, Melanie. In the letter she discussed the well-being of her employees. She wrote, “I employ nearly 40 individuals at this location, the majority of which are students and mothers, who rely on their income from Sobelman’s at Marquette to pay their bills.” Her letter mentioned Sobelman’s fundraisers for the the fight against childhood cancer, which were scheduled before the hearing in two weeks. She proposed that if the alderman granted the temporary license,
Sobelmans would donate $1 for every burger and sandwich sold to a charitable organization affiliated with the university. “I anticipate if I were allowed to reopen Sobelmans at Marquette within the next 24 hours the total contribution to these worthy organizations would exceed $5,000,” she wrote. The letter swayed Bauman to grant the temporary food license. “She made a good case,” Bauman said. “Maybe she should do more of the talking and interacting with the pubic.” The Sobelmans said the fundraisers were quickly thrown together. Some of the organizations they plan on donating to are Marquette MARDI GRAS, St. Baldrick’s Foundation, Adaptive Abilities, Special Olympics
and Best Buddies. “Its cost me a lot of money because I’m selling half the burgers I’m supposed to sell,” Dave Sobelman said. Clare Danielson, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she was glad to hear the restaurant reopened. She added that she was surprised it closed in the first place. “It seemed odd to me (they closed) because they’re such a lucrative business and it’s such a good location,” Danielson said. The restaurants’ other locations, downtown on West Saint Paul Avenue and in Mequon, are not affected by the licensing issues. Bauman and Sobelman are optimistic that the liquor license will be renewed after the next hearing.

MU printing press celebrates 100 years
After 25 years, Andrew Tallon set to retire Aug. 2017 By Brittany Carloni
brittany.carloni@marquette.edu
In 1992, philosophy professor Andrew Tallon had an idea. Tallon approached Frank Lazarus, former vice president of academic affairs, about the state of the Marquette University Press. At the time, the press was publishing about three books a year, which included “The Aquinas Lecture in Philosophy,” “The Père Marquette Lecture in Theology” and “Mediæval Philosophical Texts in Translation.” Tallon volunteered to take over everything and bring the Marquette University Press back to life. The Marquette University Press, founded in 1916, publishes academic lectures, books and series related to philosophy, theology, history and other subjects. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the press. At the same time, Tallon, who has directed the press since taking over in 1992, is preparing to retire almost 25 years after rescuing the press. “I’m happy that I did it,” Tallon said. “I’m happy that I got to take it out of dormancy into very active life for 25 years.” After Tallon took over, Maureen Kondrick, current manager of the Marquette University Press, joined shortly after in 1995. Tallon began adding books and series to the press. The operation grew and soon the press was publishing
book series in topics it covers today. To date, the press has nearly 500 books in print. Thomas Jablonsky, professor emeritus of history and former director of the Institute for Urban Life, edited the Marquette University Press Urban Life Series, which started in 2001. With funding from the Institute for Urban Life, Jablonsky used his series to bring a scholarly focus to the history of Milwaukee and the rest of the state. “The point of the book series was trying to take advantage of a home press, a university press,” he said. “This was a means to bring more attention to our history in Milwaukee.” With Tallon and Kondrick running the organization, the press published more than 20 books per year at its peak. As director, Tallon is in charge of book acquisition and production, which includes page layout and design of books. As manager, Kondrick handles the business components of the press, such as finances, advertising and communicating with printing companies. “We have been able to hold our own,” Kondrick said. “You’ve got to stay on top of everything and I think we were a good combo.” Tallon is a former unordained Jesuit, a Korean War veteran, and a self-proclaimed computer nerd. He has been at Marquette since 1969. “He really is self-taught and he is constantly re-educating himself,” Jablonsky said. “Procedures have changed in publishing and he always learned the latest technology.”

After working for 25 years and saving the printing press from going under, Frank Lazarus is retiring.
Kondrick said it has been an honor to work with Tallon and to see him balance his role as philosophy professor and director of the press. “Everyone knows him as a teacher and I pretty much know him as the guy running the press,” she said. As Tallon prepares for retirement, Kondrick will take over as the the interim director. James South, associate dean for faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences, will oversee the transition. Tallon expects to officially retire in August 2017. This year is the final full year of production for the Marquette University Press. Tallon said after he retires, the press will enter a restricted publication
schedule, which will include publishing the Père Marquette and Aquinas lectures. The press has also begun converting its publications to electronic books and print on demand. Tallon said the press is going to be in a restricted publication schedule because the university can’t find someone with the requisite skills who can replace him at the press. “I’m sorry it’s not going to continue at its full strength, but I understand the university doesn’t think of it as something they want to afford,” he said. Jablonsky worries about a reduced life for the Marquette University Press. He said the press has made Marquette a recognized place for scholarship and provides
an avenue for faculty at Marquette to have their work published. “I have no doubt that the name of Marquette University will be less broadly recognized,” Jablonsky said. “There are Marquette voices that need expression, that need an outlet, and Dr. Tallon has made it easier to reach a much larger audience.” In his time with the press, Tallon enjoyed watching philosophies and theologies evolve as the country evolves. He hopes the press stays active after he retires. “I’ve only seen the last 25 years, but it’s been a real ride,” Tallon said. “I’ve loved it and I’m happy I had a chance to do it. I want to wish Maureen and James a very good next 100 years.”

How professors spot cheating in class University holds strict misconduct policy for cheating By Jackson Dufault
jackson.dufault@marquette.edu
Cheating is an unfortunate reality on college campuses, with serious consequences. To prevent such incidents, professors use a variety of methods, including online plagiarism detectors and seating changes. According to the university’s Academic Misconduct Policy, getting caught cheating can result in a variety of consequences. The most severe consequence is expulsion from the university. Actions considered cheating can range from looking at someone else’s exam to committing blatant academic fraud. Tracey Sturgal, an instructor in the College of Communication and member of the Academic Integrity board, shared her thoughts on the risks of cheating at Marquette. “What’s most amazing is that students don’t realize how much information we get once we get (an assignment),” Sturgal said. She mentioned cheating prevention systems such as
Turnitin, a platform that is frequently used by instructors to detect possible plagiarism. Sturgal also reiterated that students should consider the consequences before they decide to cheat. Students at Marquette can throw a lot of opportunities away by getting caught breaking the Academic Misconduct Policy. However, even these consequences are not enough to deter some students away from cheating. For this reason, professors at the university are implementing their own methods to not only prevent cheating, but motivate students from even attempting it. Mehdi Maadooliat, an assistant professor of mathematics, statistics and computer science, utilizes a simple yet effective procedure to prevent cheating before it happens. Maadooliat’s classes usually have 100 or more students in them. He said it is extremely difficult to monitor every individual in his classroom. “The main struggle for big classes is that friends sit together and share information,” Maadooliat said. To combat possible cheaters, Maadooliat implements a seating chart during exams to make the sharing of information during exams much more difficult.

Teachers become familiar with a students writing, making it easy to detect cheating Ana Garner said.
His system appears to be working. Maadooliat said he could not recall any cheating in particular, and was confident that cheating would not occur in any of his classes. While cheating takes place in the classroom, it very frequently happens outside of it, too. Ana Garner, professor of journalism and media studies, said cheating
on writing assignments is the most common form. Garner’s classes primarily work with writing. She said that most cheating in her classes comes from students plagiarizing other people’s work. For her journalism classes, Garner tries to get the know each student’s writing style, which makes it easier for her to detect
possible plagiarism. “When I get a paper that isn’t typically a way that writer writes, that’s a red flag,” she said. Garner also utilizes plagiarism detection programs to determine whether or not students have stolen information. She also said citations are a critical part of checking whether or not a student is using accurate information.
University hires first sustainability coordinator Brent Ribble aims to advance MU as a greener campus By Kevin Edgeworth
kevin.edgeworth@marquette.edu
Marquette hired its first sustainability coordinator and added a new environmental studies major to its curriculum in an effort to be more environmentally conscious. Marquette’s first fulltime campus sustainability coordinator Brent Ribble began work this July. His job, Ribble said, includes coordinating and advancing the university’s sustainability efforts. Ribble said his main duties include “conserving energy, water and other resources; protecting and improving air, water and habitat quality; preventing waste and
pollution; and doing these activities in a manner that promotes social justice, health, environmental welfare and economic security. “Sustainability means meeting the social, environmental and economic needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” Ribble said. Though Marquette has had employees tasked with parttime sustainability efforts in the past, Ribble is the first employee whose sole job is sustainability coordinating. “Marquette has been committed to serving as a good steward of the environment in the past, and the addition of (Ribble) as our sustainability coordinator will only strengthen that commitment,” said Chris Jenkins, associate director of university communication. Ribble also added that
Marquette’s recent sustainability initiatives are a promising start to becoming a greener campus. “Engineering Hall is certified LEED Gold and is itself a sustainability living laboratory,” Ribble said. “Marquette’s Bublr bike station is the second-most utilized in the city.” There are four levels to LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Marquette is at the third level. When asked how Marquette fares against other universities in environmental sustainability, Ribble said “comparing Marquette to other universities is difficult because, historically, Marquette has not measured and tracked its sustainability performance.” Ribble added that this will soon change. “Once Marquette has some updated sustainability
performance measurements here in the near future, it will be able to make more meaningful comparisons with its peer institutions,” Ribble said. He also mentioned a new interdisciplinary environmental studies major that began this fall at Marquette. “The environmental studies major is a fantastic addition to Marquette’s offerings,” Ribble said. “It demonstrates that Marquette has acknowledged the importance of preparing students to address sustainability challenges in their lives and careers.” Stefan Schnitzer, the director of the new major program, said environmental studies has one of the largest job growth rates. “Employment is expected to rise 15 percent faster than any other profession,” Schnitzer said. “There are lots of regulations
where they have to hire environmental specialists to make sure they’re complying with laws.” Schnitzer also stressed the flexibility of the new environmental studies major. “This is a cross-disciplinary major, so it should fit a lot of different interests,” he said. “We want to make it flexible to students’ needs. We are happy to help students tailor this major to help their long term goals.” Schnitzer also said that Marquette’s recent environmental initiatives are a response to Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical “Laudato Si”, a call to action for Catholics to care for their environment. “This is Marquette responding to the call,” Schnitzer said. “Marquette really wants to be a leader in ecology, sustainability and environmental health.”

MUPD trained to diffuse crisis situations
Captain Jeff Kranz shares techniques to calm the distressed By Dean Bibens
dean.bibens@marquette.edu
Two weeks ago, an unidentified Marquette student walked back and forth across a ledge on the 16th Street parking structure. After an hour, the student stepped back onto the structure to safety. The Marquette University Police Department receives special training to help diffuse situations like the one that occurred Aug. 29. “Officers have been prepped for situations like this,” MUPD Capt. Jeff Kranz said. “We have a Crisis Intervention Training program that almost two-thirds of the department are qualified in.” The training helps identify if a person is in distress or not and why they are in distress, Kranz said. Once they identify the situation, the officers take action to try to prevent the crisis from getting worse. Captain Kranz and an MUPD detective are the only two members of the force trained as crisis negotiators. Kranz previously worked for the Milwaukee Police Department which presented him with
several sensitive events. “When I was a part of the Milwaukee Police Department I was faced with an incredibly difficult situation,” Kranz said. “I went into a house and there was man with a shotgun to his head, contemplating suicide … I spoke with the man for about two to three hours and talked him down because of an odd connection I made with him: He and my son both shared the same name.” Kranz went on to say that he is “less scared and more focused” in crisis-type situations. “You tend to forget about your own safety when trying to tend to another person, that is why the training is so beneficial to the officers.” MUPD Chief Paul Mascari agreed with Kranz. “You want to get down to that person’s level,” Mascari said. “If they are in distress, you don’t want to be loud or make any sudden movements. You want to reassure that person that they are going to be OK and bring them down from that high level of distress.” Some people who are going through a crisis are suffering from mental illness. “You want to bring attention to mental illness in a broad sense, but you have to be careful about listing specific situations,” Mascari said emphasizing the sensitivity in these

Local high schoolers work on campus Cristo Rey students learn workplace skills as part of program By Matthew Harte
matthew.harte@marquette.edu
Marquette is working with a local, low-income high school to provide various work opportunities to students. Fifteen Cristo Rey Milwaukee High School students presently work on campus this school year as part of the school’s Corporate Work Study Program. The school opened in July 2015 and is part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools across the nation, whose enrollment is limited to low-income students. Cristo Rey students have a schedule that takes five days out of every school month for students to work with one of the school’s corporate partners. Marquette currently employs more Cristo Rey Milwaukee High School students than any other corporate partner, with students working in offices around campus. Dan Walsh, Cristo Rey Network’s senior vice president of corporate work study, said corporate sponsors like Marquette receive many benefits by bringing on Cristo Rey students. “Students deliver valued work that brings sponsors a good return on investment,” Walsh said. “They are also given an
opportunity to showcase their values and help their community.” Sally Doyle, the Marquette coordinator of Cristo Rey students, said that Marquette is a good fit for Cristo Rey students because of the variety of jobs that students can perform. “We have so many different opportunities for the students,” Doyle said. “We have some students located in the College of Communication and they learn about what it’s like to do advertising. We have some students located in more of the academic units where they get to learn what it’s like to support faculty or administration. We also have some students located in the Office of Finance where they learn the business side of things.” Doyle said students are compensated for the work they do on campus by paying for their tuition at Cristo Rey and learning work skills. “Instead of it just being a straight financial benefit, the student is getting work experience, real working skills and great networking experiences,” Doyle said. Joseph Mazza, the director of corporate work study program at Cristo Rey Milwaukee High School, explained how students get assigned to their respective work places. “Cristo Rey assigns the students to their workplaces, the partnering organizations don’t do the hiring,” Mazza said. “Cristo Rey’s Corporate Work Study Program acts as a staffing agency which places the
students. Our assignment process is based on the job descriptions we receive from our work partners; in this case, the various colleges and departments at (Marquette) where our students work.” Mazza explained how Cristo Rey’s training program gives students a good look at Marquette and gets them excited to work on campus. “As far as why the students wanted to work at Marquette, that’s relatively easy: they love it there,” Mazza said. “We spend some time on MU’s campus during the summer at our Business Training Camp. That’s a four-week mandatory program where the incoming freshmen are immersed in the corporate and post-high school life. They get campus tours and spend a week learning Microsoft Outlook in the computer labs in Cudahy (Hall). Most of the sophomores working at MU this year worked there last year as well.” Marquette has set a goal of obtaining a 25 percent Hispanic population over the next 10 years. Doyle believes that the Cristo Rey program could contribute to achieving this goal. “Cristo Rey definitely has a high Hispanic population,” Doyle said. “I think that the students who attend Cristo Rey High School and their families would find Marquette and its mission a natural fit for their family values.” Ana Luci Gonzalez, a sophomore at Cristo Rey High School, is working at the Office of the

President for her second straight year. “I do filing, making copies and I check over lists a lot,” Gonzalez said. “Pretty much anything they ask of me, like if I need to send out emails or if the phone needs to be answered, I’ll do that.” Gonzalez said that working in the office is a good experience for jobs later on in her life. “I feel like a lot of the double checking is going to help me develop skills on detail,”
Gonzalez said. “Looking over information and looking for information is always going to be needed and you’re always going to be doing it in some form.” Gonzalez said that the experience encouraged her to consider Marquette when she’s ready to apply for colleges. “Marquette has always been an ideal school for me to go to,” Gonzalez said. “Hopefully working here can give me a little head start.”

templin to amp up annex
Max Templin, a senior in the College of Communication, is a musician who is familiar to the Marquette music scene. As the two-time winner of the Marquette Spotlight Talent Show, Marquette Radio’s Rockathon and numerous other performances at Marquette, Templin is an important name on campus. Thus the MUSGhosted event “Annex Acoustic” Thursday, Sept. 15 from 9-11 p.m., is another performance Templin can add to his extensive resume. When Templin decided to pursue music at the age of nine, he began by learning how to play the guitar. From there he and his younger brother created a band with two school friends known as “No Idea,” based on the fact that the 13-year old and the others legitimately had no idea as to what the band name should be. With the help and support of parents and family friends, the punk pop band “No Idea” was able to take shape and perform across small venues in southeastern Wisconsin. This shaped and developed Templin’s love of music as well as performing. “Honestly, I never really get asked why I do what I do, because in reality music is the greatest hobby and outlet I have,” Templin said. “The fact that I can write songs as a way to hash out my personal life, while entertaining others is the best feeling. It’s incomparable.” Templin drew inspiration from his uncle, who shared a passion for music. “What’s really interesting is the fact that my uncle had a band in college and he would always talk about how much he loved performing with his friends and how great it felt to connect with an audience,” Templin said. Contrary to his uncle, Max is now a solo artist. “Unfortunately, due to college and time constraints, it really wasn’t feasible for the band to remain together,” Templin said. His disappointment did not deter him from continuing to write and perform music. “My uncle always tells me that giving up music was one of the worst decisions of his life, so I always think of that as motivation to continue to embrace music,” Templin said. To Templin, singing and songwriting is so cathartic it is essential to his everyday life. He could not give it up. From the breakup of the band on, Templin
“
performed at school-wide events as well as distributed his music to local bars, restaurants and the music sharing site ReverbNation. His classic rock style mixed with acoustic guitar and a great stage presence not only create successful shows, but have also led to offers for him to perform at events. Through a contact from a previous performance, this summer Templin was able to perform twice at the Summerfest Harley-Davidson stage. Similar to every senior in college, the future is always looming overhead. However, Templin already knows what he wants his future to look like. Surprisingly it is not a career in music, rather a sports-based media and planning career. Although Templin is a journalism and digital media major, his job working for the Milwaukee Bucks as a social media and event planner is something he really revels in. “I really love working for the Bucks and with sports in particular, which is especially funny because I am a senior studying journalism,” Templin said. “I love music, but I never want to become tired or resentful of it.” Templin said artists that put their career in music often do not enjoy the amazing feeling MAX TEMPLIN that comes from performing. Performing for them becomes a task and a job. Templin would love to have a nine to five job, while performing on the weekends. He wants to keep the feeling of performing and getting an audience excited, without growing tired of it. Unfortunately for fans, Annex Acoustic will be Templin’s last show for a while. Templin said that the school year and other obligations force him to focus on other responsibilities. Annex Acoustic is a free event being held at the Union Sports Annex. Charlotte Hingley, a senior in the College of Communication and member of MUSG, said that Annex Acoustic was a departure from previous Marquette unplugged shows in the Brew Bayou. “Max Templin was so popular they wanted to contract him out in order to have a show that would bring in his fans and students,” Hingley said. Annex Acoustic will have free, catered food in addition to a dinner and show ambiance. Templin is just one of four guests scheduled to play at Annex Acoustic.

Alumnus rolls out Japanese cuisine Fusion restaurant offers diverse, fresh dining alternatives By Kelsey McCarthy
kelsey.mccarthy@marquette.edu
With foods like the Fire Cracker Roll, Chicken Udon Soup and the Chicken Gyoza Plate, Maki Yaki Japanese Grill, the newest on-campus restaurant, offers students healthier fast food options and a place to take a break from studies. Owned by married couple Ernie and Robyn Lee, the Japanese-American fusion eatery is located on Wisconsin Avenue. The duo decided to open doors in Milwaukee because Ernie is a Marquette alumnus, holding a Master of Business Administration. “Maki” means roll in Japanese and “Yaki” comes from teriyaki, hence the name Maki Yaki. The restaurant opened on campus Aug. 13. As a former student, Ernie understood the lack in variety of places to eat around campus. “(I) realized there were not so many (food) options (on campus), besides fast food like Burger King and Subway and it was probably necessary to provide some healthy food choices,” Ernie said. Ernie was a former owner of a Subway at University of Wisconsin-Madison. He noticed how they used frozen ingredients, so he wanted to establish a restaurant on campus that used local vegetables and meat and made food from scratch. “There was opportunity for us and I could also be of service to the students here,” Ernie said. Robyn makes all of her sauces with fresh ingredients, reinforcing the couple’s commitment to serving healthy food. “I make the teriyaki sauce, the ginger dressing for the salads, the unagi sauce,” Robyn said. “I make it all once a week.” One of the popular student choices on the menu is the

Bento Box. The Bento Box Special comes with maki rolls, meat, tempura, vegetables and soup. The Superman Sushi Burrito is another highlight on the menu because sushi burritos are the newest trend and haven’t been sold in Milwaukee until now. “Many people think a sushi burrito is expensive when compared to a burrito from Qdoba, but ours is very different and we load it up with fish,” Robyn said. Along with providing healthy food for students, Ernie and Robyn aimed to create a comfortable environment influenced by Asian culture for students. The walls are bare, but in the
upcoming weeks colorful photographs of Marquette University and downtown Milwaukee will fill the restaurant. Posters of some of the Marquette sports teams may also be added to the decoration inside to promote a campus atmosphere. As an on-campus restaurant, price and convenience play primary roles in making this campus addition student friendly. The menu has a wide price range to accommodate all customers. “This restaurant has reasonable prices and you don’t need to pay a tip,” Robyn said.

Register early, vote often
Photo by Meredith Gillespie meredith.gillespie@marquette.edu
Nick Truog (left), a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, helped students register to vote in the November elections.
For the majority of Marquette students, the Nov. 8 election will be their first time voting for President of the United States. This is an exciting and important duty that we are fortunate to have in this country and one that we cannot not let go to waste. Now is the time to make sure we are registered, informed and ready. For the primary election in April, the overwhelming amount of students who had not preregistered to vote created hours-long wait times, barring some students from even voting at all. To make sure they are ready for November, students should be proactive today by registering to vote in the Alumni Memorial Union and educating themselves on the presidential candidates and also those running for local offices. At first glance, the line snaking through the bottom level of the AMU seemed like a physical representation of increased excitement and participation among college-age voters this election. There was increased youth voter turnout in Wisconsin’s primary — 33 percent, up from 25 in 2008, according to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement — but there is room for improvement. An NPR article explained how the millennial vote could soon start to outweigh that of the baby boomers, that is, if 1835 year-olds actually make it to the polls. The US Census Bureau cites that voters ages 18-24 have consistently voted at lower rates
than all other age groups in every presidential election since 1962. Our vote is extremely important. According to the Campus Vote Project, 18-29-year-olds make up 21 percent of the nation’s eligible voters. Our generation’s ideas and actions will be the future of the nation. In a highly anticipated and widely publicized presidential election like 2016’s, it’s easy to be enthusiastic about casting a vote, especially if it’s your first time. But this civic duty does not happen just once every four Novembers. Smaller, local elections occur several times per year, and the people elected to these offices have a more significant impact on our day-to-day lives than Clinton or Trump will. Unfortunately, voter turnout for these elections reaches usually not more than 20 percent. In April, around 310,000 people in Milwaukee county voted in the presidential primary, but only 80,000 voted for county district attorney in August. Of the nearly 40,000 people living in the city’s fourth aldermanic district, where Marquette is located, barely 7,000 voted for alderman in April. In that race, Monique Kelly lost to Bob Bauman by only 1,149 votes. (You may recognize his name from a recent Sobelman’s snafu.) In a presidential race in which millions of votes around the country are cast, it’s difficult to understand how one individual’s vote can make a difference. But
in an election like that of Bauman versus Kelly, the populations of McCormick and Schroeder Halls could have swayed the outcome. So be prepared: there will be more than two names on the ballot come November. Here at Marquette, we will vote for Wisconsin U.S. senator, U.S. House Representative and state senate and assembly representatives, among others. Read about these candidates and their ideas, form your opinion and take advantage of this opportunity to have a real impact on government. For the next four years, these local leaders will have strong decisionmaking power as they represent our community at the state and federal levels. Taking an active role in all levels of U.S. democracy is a lifelong habit that we can begin to develop now. There is no excuse not to vote. As this week’s “The Wire Explains: Voter Registration” article puts it, Marquette makes it easy for us to be prepared. It’s not just born-andraised Wisconsinites that can vote in Milwaukee. Registering ahead of time, by Oct. 19, is encouraged. From now until then, every day from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. students can register at Union Station in the AMU. If you aren’t preregistered by that date, you’ll face an extra-long line on election day. Nicole Sapio, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, was not aware of voter registration back in April. She went to the AMU, stood in line for about an hour and half, then had to go to class. She went back around 5 p.m. to vote, which took about another two hours. In the end, she was able to cast her ballot, but she noticed many people were probably deterred from voting upon seeing the long line. Sapio said voting is important enough to spend half her day waiting in line “because it’s our civic duty as Americans,” and “if you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” Marquette succeeds in its responsibility of developing students into informed, educated and intelligent U.S. citizens. Individually and as a whole, our decisions this November will have an impact on our government. Now, it is our responsibility to make sure we are ready for this election and to remain dedicated to our democracy for each one after that.

Marquette parents show varying levels of involvement in students’ lives.
Parents set students on path for success Abby Vakulskas Success: it’s a buzzword. It’s crucial. As college students, it’s constantly on our minds. It seems that, after four or so years of being in the safe little blanket of higher education, relatively protected from the harsh winds of reality, you will suddenly be defined one of two ways — successful or unsuccessful. Will you climb your way to the top, or slowly sink? Perhaps this is melodramatic, but it is a common experience to feel pressure as a student. And like it or not, a lot of that pressure often comes from parents. They might seem far away, but they’re still around, and they’re influential. The role of parents in a student’s life can have a substantial impact on his or her motivation to be successful. When can someone say for certain that he or she is successful? It’s such a subjective concept, open to each individual’s interpretations. Often, it’s equated to high income, but this isn’t always a fair or accurate translation. For most of us, success is a decent wage and relative satisfaction in life. Whether we realize it or not, our definitions of success can come from our experiences growing up. And going further, the levels of comfort and economic stability our parents provided us as children may dictate what we strive for in our own careers.

There’s a couple of ways this manifests itself. First, students might hope to be equally as successful as their parents, perhaps to replicate that level of childhood security. Or they may wish to surpass their parents’ success, motivated by the chance to build a better future for themselves. Twenty-two percent of Marquette’s first-year class in 2015 consisted of first generation college students. That’s over 400 people who were brave and driven enough to pursue an entirely different path to success than their parents and 400 sets of parents who supported that decision. For many, parent involvement may be even more straightforward. Surveys from Campus Experience for Students and Parents found that 79 percent of parents check in with students throughout the week, and interestingly enough, students who receive parental advice tend to have a higher GPA than those who don’t. It makes sense — parents demand a lot from their investment, especially if they’ve covered a large chunk of tuition. A Chicago Tribune article noted how often parents essentially make the choices for their students, pushing them toward prestigious (and sometimes expensive) schools. This is not to mention the scrutiny that comes with choosing a major, as parents may be discouraging creative pursuits in favor of those that promise more lucrative careers. Of course, parents do want the best for their children. All those we would classify as helicopter parents — and even less aggressive (but still concerned) moms and dads — certainly base their actions on fear of a competitive job market and the desire to see their kids living happy and well. There are countless factors that affect motivation to succeed, but there is no doubt parents play a major role. Whether that role is subtle and rooted in your subconscious or as obvious as a daily text from your mom, it helps shape your expectations and outlook on the future.

True feminist ideals Universities require affirmative are intersectional action to uphold their missions Morgan Hughes The HBO dramedy “Girls,” written by and starring Lena Dunham, is one of my favorite shows on television. The show follows the lives of four 20-something women living in New York City, drawing on all of the least glamorous parts of growing up and finding yourself. I relate to the series mainly because I am a young woman, but also because I am white. You see, all four of the show’s leading ladies are Caucasian and come from comfortable middle-class backgrounds. Dunham isn’t the first television writer to avoid diversity in her scripts, but when she calls herself the ‘voice of her generation’ and leaves a significant portion of that generation out of the narrative, it becomes apparent who she’s really speaking for. Dunham, much like Amy Shumer, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawrence and several other white female celebrities, has been criticized as an exemplar of “White Feminism.” Under the guise of the ‘feminist’ umbrella white feminists prioritize the needs of cis, heteronormative white women above those of women of color and queer women. White female celebrities promoting body positivity, equal pay for women and de-sexualization of the female body isn’t a bad thing. The problem is that these same celebrities, while championing mainstream feminism, contribute to the oppression of other marginalized groups. Both Swift and Schumer are guilty of normalizing cultural appropriation, Dunham is currently in hot water for sexualizing and stereotyping a black athlete, and white celebrities across the board are guilty of exoticizing minority men and women. When the public attempts to hold these celebrities accountable, they respond either with apathy or self-indulgence. If you’re feeling inundated by “made-up liberal vocabulary,” the
only word you really need to know and understand regarding this topic is ‘intersectionality.’ Discrimination and systematic oppression typically refers to race, gender or sexual orientation, but rarely considers what happens when a person’s identity prompts compounding discrimination. Intersectionality addresses that overlap. Kimberle Crenshaw, who coined the term, explains it as such: “Consider an analogy to traffic in an intersection, coming and going in all four directions. Discrimination, like traffic through an intersection, may flow in one direction, and it may flow in another. If an accident happens in an intersection, it can be caused by cars traveling from any number of directions and, sometimes, from all of them. Similarly, if a Black woman is harmed because she is in an intersection, her injury could result from sex discrimination or race discrimination. . . .” As a white woman who identifies as a feminist, I understand the struggle. I can’t adequately defend minority women because I’m not one. And when I’m called out for exemplifying white feminism, it’s hard not to defend myself with “not all white women …” but doesn’t that sound all too familiar? #notallmen #alllivesmatter Etc. As college students in a heavily segregated city, we’re aware of discussions of racial equality, and as human beings with mothers and sisters, we’re all familiar with discussions of gender equality. Why is it so hard to imagine these lines might cross? Feminism strives for equality, and an important component of equality is recognizing these intersections. If we really are proponents of change, we need to acknowledge where that change needs to happen, even if it’s a change that doesn’t directly affect us. Not being able to personally relate to a struggle doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Morgan Hughes is a junior studying journalism and political science.

Ryan McCarthy In a somewhat surprising 4-3 decision last June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the University of Texas could continue to use race as a factor in their admissions process, a major win for affirmative action supporters. But after reading an article in The New York Times that highlighted the Court’s own lack of diversity, I began to wonder if the court making the decision to diversify our schools should in fact be more diverse itself. If we as a nation are upholding diversity in one place, shouldn’t we maintain that same belief on all fronts? And furthermore, if the Supreme Court is not diverse, can we trust where and when they tell our universities to be? While Obama’s appointees have eased some of the racial and gender gaps on the USSC, the current justices share many similar qualities and life experiences. Five are Catholic and three are Jewish, none are from the Midwest and they all went to one of three Ivy League law schools. As a whole, not very diverse. It is important to remember that the USSC is more technocratic than any other branch of government. Most appointees are considered experts in their field and many are experienced federal judges. Despite these similar backgrounds though, every justice has a unique legal philosophy and interpretation of the Constitution. For most justices, these ideologies arise in academic study more than in real life experience. Effective courts in the past, like the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren, were comprised of justices with well-developed and diverse ideologies. For the judicial branch, diverse ideologies are more important than diverse backgrounds. Universities are different though. Here, diverse backgrounds are essential. They offer

more than just a different perspective in the classroom. One of the most important aspects of college is socialization, where students learn how to empathize with others for the first time as adults. Is there really a more effective way to reduce racial bias and stereotyping than to engage with one another? In making this decision last year, the USSC is telling us that committing to racial diversity at universities reinforces the idea that we are a land of equal opportunity. As President Obama said in response to the University of Texas decision, “We are not a country that guarantees equal outcomes, but we do strive to provide an equal shot for everyone.” So even if all the justices are from the coastal cities, they are promoting learning environments that will better the lives of people from all corners of our country. The debate over affirmative action and racial inclusion
programs is going to become more prominent at Marquette as administration releases more details regarding its plan to become a Hispanic-serving institution, with a 25 percent Hispanic demographic target over the next 10 years. Marquette’s initiative to increase the number of Hispanic students is a good step, but it remains to be seen whether or not the university will make similar efforts for other underrepresented groups. This is an issue for students to really make their voices heard. The Supreme Court may be able to get by with just a few differing ideologies, but our student body certainly cannot. If you are passionate about creating a more diverse student body at Marquette over the next 10 years, now is the time to speak out. Ryan McCarthy is a senior studying journalism.

Climbing in popularity

Rock climbing is one of the largest clubs on campus By Robby Cowles

When many students think about club sports, they think about the conventional ones like basketball, baseball or volleyball. But one of Marquette’s off the wall club sports is also one of its biggest — the Marquette University Rock Climbing Club. Junior Alexander Zucca, the club’s president, co-founded Marquette rock climbing during his freshman year. Since then, he’s seen an explosion of interest. “It started out with probably 10 to 12 of us, and then after the first O-Fest, we grew to probably 50 and we’ve been growing a lot ever since then,” Zucca said. “We were just at O-Fest and I think we got like 250 new people interested in it, so we got our first meeting coming up and I think we’re going to be in the 100-150 member range.” “Within two years it’s
pretty impressive. I didn’t think it would be this popular, it’s definitely a surprise.” Senior Charlie Bieser, who is entering his second year with the club and first as an e-board member, gave a variety of reasons for the rapid growth of the club, especially emphasizing the culture and tone of the club. “I think people are drawn to it because it’s an activity and because it’s the most safe extreme sport,” Bieser said. “You have the, say, ‘illusion’ of safety with the rope, but most of the time it’s not an illusion at all. You’re not really ever going to stress that gear enough to fail and not be safe enough for you to climb, and it also helps that we’re not really very demanding.” “We’re a very relaxed, very laid-back group and people and laid-back team. It’s like we’re a club sports team but not — it’s more like a club, it’s a combination of that two.” Because of the unique nature of the sport, many of the new members are freshmen or students who have never tried the sport, which represents a challenge to the club that Zucca enjoys. “The beginning (of the year
practices are) mostly going through the basics, fundamentals of climbing,” Zucca said. “We have classes to teach people everything they need to know right away. It’s pretty chaotic in the beginning with all these new people. After everyone knows what they’re doing, it’s usually just everyone shows up, climbs for two hours and it’s actually really fun.” “It’s really cool to see people grow and get a lot better. Like in the beginning they’ll fall like four times or something and then three months later they’ll be climbing as hard as the people who’ve been climbing for years.” For its third year in existence, Zucca and the club are looking to add more to the experience by trying to get more members involved in outdoor rock climbing. Although they enjoy the comfort and freedom of Turner Hall twice a week, the club knows indoor climbing pales in comparison to the excitement of the real thing. Outdoor climbing takes much more training and teaching, but the club wants to get as many climbers as possible for a clubwide trip to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky this upcoming fall break.

“Once people have been in the club awhile we try to teach them as much as we can about climbing outside, because that’s not something you can just do on your own,” Zucca said. “There’s a lot of things you have to know. I had three or four mentors show me stuff before I was comfortable going outside.” Since founding it, Zucca said the club has always been about welcoming all levels of experienced rock climbers, from beginners to veterans of the sport.
“The new people we get, I would say half of them have never even tried climbing before, a quarter of them climbed at like a birthday party or something and the rest have actually climbed before in high school,” Zucca said. “The first (goal) obviously is just getting people interested in rock climbing.” The club meets Monday and Wednesday nights from 8-10 p.m. at Turner Hall across from the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Rosenthal enjoyed eye-opening China trip Middle hitter was chosen to college national team By John Hand
john.hand@marquette.edu
Jenna Rosenthal was a frequent flyer this summer. The redshirt sophomore boarded a flight to China to compete with the U.S. Collegiate National Team less than a week after returning from Marquette volleyball’s trip to Europe. As tough as the schedule was, Rosenthal was able to go on a unforgettable adventure playing the game she loves. “It’s more opportunities you get to improve your game,” Rosenthal said. “If you are in the gym all summer with high-level competition, good teammates and great coaches, you can only get better from experience and more reps and more time in the gym.” Rosenthal was one of 12 players selected for the team after competing with more than 200 athletes in an open tryout last February. “Being able to go to China to play the sport that I love is something that I never dreamed of,” Rosenthal said. “Of course, when the opportunity came by I had to jump on it.” After a brief training camp in Los Angeles in mid June, Rosenthal, along with the rest of her CNT-China teammates, boarded a plane for Shanghai where they
began the tour, playing various professional teams throughout the country along with a four-team tournament in Beijing. “It is a once in a lifetime experience, not necessarily once in a lifetime for everybody, but for some people you have the opportunity to play volleyball in China with USA on your chest or on your back — that’s pretty huge that she got to do that,” Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said. “To take advantage of that opportunity, you go over there, you learn, you play games and you get better. Jenna does that. Jenna is always looking to get better.” From the minute that CNTChina stepped into an arena for a match, Rosenthal noticed that there was a different feeling for volleyball in China. “Volleyball is incredibly huge in China,” Rosenthal said. “It is very strange to think about because here in the United States volleyball is kind of just confined to the university level and every four years the Olympics come on. But in China they love volleyball. It is almost like the national sport. We had huge crowds everywhere we went. We played the same special team two nights in a row, but we traveled to another city because we wanted to take volleyball to those people in the next town.” When the team explored the various cities they were in, they quickly noticed that it would be difficult for them to roam incognito. “They knew we were American

and they knew we played some sort of sport. Because basketball isn’t very popular in China, everyone assumes volleyball,” Rosenthal said. “Everyone was very amazed at girls that were over six feet tall, like my teammates. As we would walk down the street, Chinese people would quickly grab us and we would quick turn for a photo because their friend was holding their phone. You would just have to get used to it because they would just grab you and say something really fast and then it’s like, ‘Oh there is a photo being taken.’” At times the tour was
challenging. One of CNT-China’s practices was held on a 90-degree day with 100 percent humidity in a gym with no air conditioning. The harsh conditions, however, just added to the experience. “Our clothes were soaked through with sweat, so we were just like, ‘Okay I guess this is happening,’” Rosenthal said. “Every time a play was done we would have to wipe the floor. It really just made it a fun, crazy like, ‘Oh my gosh what are we doing here’ kind of thing. All my teammates and I took it in stride because it is just what you got to do and this is what we signed up for,
some crazy adventure. Sure, it made things go a little bit slower, but we thought it was a wonderful adventure.” Away from the court, Rosenthal got to experience various landmarks throughout China, including the Great Wall. “Everyone needs to see the Great Wall of China once before they die,” Rosenthal said. “There is a reason it is a wonder of the world. I knew it went through the mountains and I knew it was incredibly long, but until you are standing on it and seeing it, it is something you can’t even begin to describe.”
‘18 Herro chooses Wisconsin instead of MU
Wisconsin-born guard 25th in ESPN rankings By John Steppe
john.steppe@marquette.edu
For the second time in 34 days, head basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski and his staff came up short on a highly-touted recruit in Milwaukee County. This time Tyler Herro,
a 2018 guard and resident of Greenfield, Wisconsin, opted to attend Wisconsin. Herro entertained offers from Arizona, Marquette, Creighton, Florida, Xavier and several other schools before announcing his commitment to second-year head coach Greg Gard’s program Monday afternoon on Twitter. “Coach Gard did a phenomenal job attending so many games (Herro) was in,” Herro’s trainer Bryan Donaldson said. “I know that meant the world to Tyler.”
Donaldson specifically noted Gard’s attendance at Whitnall’s victory over Whitefish Bay last March to send the Falcons to State for the first time since 2004. Wojciechowski and assistant Brett Nelson were there as well. Herro told the Wire in July that the most important factor in his recruitment would be the relationship he has with the coaching staff. Nelson spearheaded the Golden Eagles’ pursuit of

Hopeful players vied for spot on 25-man roster By Thomas Salinas
thomas.salinas@marquette.edu
It’s no secret Marquette’s club hockey team is one of the most competitive clubs on campus. Not making the team is a reality most Marquette freshmen
quickly come to face. Players aiming for a spot on the roster attended the club’s intense three-day tryout last week. “A lot of guys assume they can just come in and make the team,” Head Coach Will Jurgensen said. “We aren’t like any other club team.” Some players, like freshman Jake Smith, said one reason they came to Marquette in the first place was to play hockey. “When I found out
Marquette had a club team, it really itched me on to come here,” Smith said. Jurgensen said freshmen often come in out of shape and are intimidated by the players’ size. Players like Smith, who attended a club hockey game last year, knew they would have to hone their skills in order to compete. During the off-season Smith focused on improving his speed and strength to adapt to collegiate play. A lot of players are not as
prepared as Smith. Freshman defender Harry Murray was unsure whether or not he wanted to tryout. He came in not knowing much about the team, and
“

Player of the Week Taylor Louis Taylor Louis was chosen as the Bluegrass Battle MVP and named to the all-tournament team after an outstanding 3-0 weekend for the volleyball team. Louis recorded 51 kills on the weekend, 20 of which came in her dominant performance against the Kentucky Wildcats. She recorded her third triple-double of the year against Kentucky, setting a season high for kills and career high for digs.

admitted he was nervous. “It’s a little nerve wracking, a little intimidating, but I’m just out here trying to give it my best shot,” Murray said. The club will carry 25 players on its 2016-’17 roster. The returning players are usually heavy favorites, but not automatic locks to make the team. Jurgensen said he believes every player should come in expecting to earn their spot again. This year the club is returning 17 players from last season, a team that fell one game short of making nationals. Since tryouts only span three days, players must quickly convince the coaches they have what it takes. Most freshmen struggle with the transition from high school hockey, where they were considered one of the best, to that of the collegiate level. Proving themselves is a task many have not had to do in awhile. “Its definitely a lot different,” freshman R.J. Deneweth
said. “I kind of forgot how to do that. I just got to take advantage of every opportunity I have in these couple tryouts.” Players who do not make the team usually do not come back. Jurgensen said there are other options if players want to remain a part of the team, but he encourages freshman to try again next year. “You don’t see it too often because guys find other clubs, but I encourage them to come out again,” Jurgensen said. “Marquette just has a lot to offer.” Jurgensen calls the last day of tryouts his hardest day of coaching, because he has to tell players they came up short. He said he is incredibly impressed with how players react. “Players are accepting, they look me in the eye and shake my hand,” Jurgensen said. “That just shows the type of people we have at Marquette.” Before they began their last day of tryouts, Jurgensen told players that if they don’t make the team it does not shape what kind of person they are. Freshman Goalie Jim Bertane said not making the team would be difficult to swallow. “It’s going to be rough, but I mean I’ll have to live with it,” Bertane said. “I’m not going to let it ruin my college experience.” Luckily for the goalie, he made the cut. Deneworth also made the roster. Smith wasn’t so lucky. “I was disappointed, but not as disappointed as I thought I would be,” Smith said. “I knew it was going to be hard, there weren’t that many spots.” “It’ll be tough to get on the ice because of school, but I’m not going to hang up my skates.”

Wheeler getting starts after years on bench

Redshirt senior Mac Wheeler spent three years as the backup to current Seattle Sounder Charlie Lyon.
Redshirt senior has clean sheet in first two outings By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Mac Wheeler waited a long time for his big break. Four years, to be exact. The redshirt senior keeper has an opportunity to win Marquette’s starting job before the BIG EAST campaign begins after years of mostly watching from the sidelines. Marquette head coach Louis
Bennett has been rotating goalies each game as he and assistant coach Jon Mroz want to see as big a sample size as possible from both keepers. “I feel like I’ve had chances in the past,” Wheeler said. “I always just tried to stay hungry and work hard in training and do extra stuff to make it seem like I wasn’t just spinning my wheels.” Wheeler’s final chance at glory almost didn’t happen. He was looking at graduate schools in the spring, wrestling with the question of where to go next. “I was waiting on how some of my applications to grad school were going to turn
out,” Wheeler said. “The way that things shook out I just wanted to keep as many doors open. Finally, it just seemed that the best decision was to come back here.” A big factor in his decision to return was his strong performance in the spring, which helped create this year’s goalie competition between him and incumbent Wicho Barraza. Bennett was impressed with his technique and his command of the defense. “I just think it finally clicked in my head that four years had gone by and this is my last chance to make it happen,” Wheeler said. “Honestly, I did
everything I could to put myself in a position to be a good player. … I just refocused and got my mentality and preparation right. … I wasn’t nervous anymore.” Bennett said Wheeler’s earned playing time on and off the field. “A lot of people use the phrase ‘wait for your opportunity,’” Bennett said. “You can’t wait for an opportunity. You have to work for an opportunity. When you have guys that work that hard, you really cross your fingers in hoping that they will come through with the performances.” Wheeler spent a majority of his Marquette career sitting behind arguably the greatest keeper in program history, Charlie Lyon. Bennett is a believer in a constant goalie battle, but Lyon never faltered. He is one of the most determined athletes you’ll ever meet, and he didn’t miss a start from 2012 to his graduation in 2014. It’s fair to say anyone sitting behind him would get a bit frustrated. “My other teammate Brady Walsh, who was my grade as well, we shared those same feelings,” Wheeler said. “We would always talk to each other. If we had frustration, we would relay it to each other. At the end of the day, we were just happy to be on a team that was doing so well.” Playing with Lyon obviously wasn’t without benefits. Wheeler was able to see what goes into becoming a great keeper and teammate. “That was the first time I was able to train with, watch and learn from someone who is advanced as a player,” Wheeler said. “I feel like that’s really paying off now.” Unfortunately for Wheeler, as one star goalie left, another highly touted one entered. Barraza joined the Golden Eagles in 2015 following
a strong academy career with Real Salt Lake. Wheeler played one game early in the season against Portland, but Barraza secured the starting job quickly. It would be easy to say, “Here we go again.” That’s not the approach Wheeler took, an example of why he’s become one of the team’s top locker room leaders. That isn’t conditional on him playing either. The team brought him to St. Louis for their game this weekend despite him not being able to play due to a red card in the previous game. His presence was valuable enough that they left someone else in Milwaukee to bring him along. “Last year and this year, my job is just to help the team win,” Wheeler said. “Whether that’s playing on the field or pushing Wicho to a level where he’s unbelievable, that’s my job.” Wheeler has made two starts this season against Northern Illinois and Northwestern. Although he hasn’t been tested with shots frequently, only making one save, he’s been a sound figure on the back end. He’s 2-0 and hasn’t given up a goal yet. “All the credit in the world to the guys that play ahead of me,” Wheeler said. “They’ve been some of the best defenders in the country and they just make my job a lot easier.” He’ll have his biggest moment yet Wednesday, when he’ll start in his first Milwaukee Cup. It’s the final non-conference outing of the season and possibly Wheeler’s final shot to bolster his resume before the team settles on a starter. “They’ll both have three games in before the BIG EAST and then we’ll re-evaluate based on what people are doing and what’s been done,” Bennett said. “We’re in a great situation because we have two first-team goalies.”
Golf learns from former Web.com Tour pro New assistant Gator Todd was All-SEC at ‘Bama By Matt Unger
matthew.unger@marquette.edu
Two months ago Richard “Gator” Todd Jr. was working an insurance job. “I wanted to pull my hair out,” Todd said. After playing professionally for the last seven years, the former All-SEC golfer for Alabama found himself at a crossroad. He quit the professional circuit last November, but his love of golf never subsided. In August he was hired as the assistant coach for Marquette golf. “I wanted to do something I was passionate about,” Todd said. At age 11, Todd started playing the game of golf casually. He says he was burnt out from baseball and basketball. By 14,
he truly fell in the love with the game — luckily he was quite good at it, too. Todd received a scholarship offer from Alabama to play collegiate golf. When he arrived on campus, the golf program was ranked 98th in the nation. By his senior year they were No. 1 in the country. Like any other Division I sport, golf is a huge time commitment for student-athletes. “I feel like I went to college and majored in golf and minored in business,” Todd said with a chuckle. “Playing a college sport takes up so much time and that’s where most of my knowledge is.” Todd wanted to find a job that allowed to him share his knowledge and experience. Coaching seemed to be a natural fit for the 30-year-old who has quite the impressive resume. In addition to membership on the Web.com Tour back in 2012, Todd has also trained at Sea Island Golf Performance
Center, a well-respected training center in Georgia. For five years, he was living with guys like Team USA Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III and Zach Johnson, among many other successful PGA golfers. “I’m really excited about what he is going to bring to the table,” head coach Steve Bailey said. Breaking into the collegiate coaching ranks is not an easy thing to do. Todd cited the fact that golf coaches tend to stay at their position for long periods of time. There’s not a “coaching carousel” like in other sports like football where turnover can happen every other year. So when he heard about the opportunity at Marquette, he reached out to Bailey. After a phone conversation, Bailey invited Todd to come up and visit the campus. “Luckily, I guess I was the guy he chose,” Todd said. “(Bailey’s) just a class act and a wonderful guy to work for.” As a coach, Todd believes that
he can help this program grow in numerous ways. He’s hoping to pass down the instruction he received at Sea Island from 2010 PGA Teacher of the Year Todd Anderson. “As far as teaching technique, I’m pretty knowledgeable there,” said Todd. However, there is more to coaching than just tweaking swings or setting lineups — there’s the human element. Marquette golfers have to adjust to college life just like every other student on campus. “I think I’m going to learn a lot from coach (Bailey) about the whole life coaching part of it,” Todd said. The Golden Eagles will field a young roster for the 2016-’17 season. With just one senior on the roster, Marquette will have to depend on younger guys to play in possibly their first collegiate competition. At the age of 30, Todd views his youth as an advantage that will help him connect
with the team. “There’s nothing that they’re going through that I haven’t been through or seen myself,” said Todd. “I told them anything off the course, on the course, come talk to me.” For many first-year coaches, relating to players ten years younger can be difficult. Fortunately, Gator Todd has an interesting icebreaker that might make the job easier. “I used to bite people on the shoulder when I was a baby,” said Todd. Todd says that his aunt gave him the “Gator” nickname when he was about two years old — he stuck with it ever since. “My teachers called me that, my friends called me that, my family called me that,” said Todd. “I would say my name (at college) and they would be like, ‘Your name’s what?’” Gator’s hoping his addition to the coaching staff will help Marquette golf take a bite out of the BIG EAST.

Henry could be latest in exclusive goalie club Only three have started regularly in last 11 years By Grant Becker
grant.becker@marquette.edu
Playing goalkeeper for Marquette women’s soccer is a distinct privilege. There have been just three regular starters in the Golden Eagles’ net over the past 11 years. Freshman keeper Maddy Henry is set to join that exclusive club. Marquette’s practice of starting goalkeepers for the entirety of their careers started back in 2005, when sophomore Laura Boyer came over from Iowa State to win the job. Boyer started her first game with Marquette and never relinquished the job. Natalie Kulla took over in 2008, starting for four complete years. Then in 2012, it was Amanda Engel’s turn. After playing every minute of Marquette’s first eight games, Henry looks poised to carry on the torch. “I kind of love it. I think it’s awesome. Carrying on a tradition, hopefully, is exciting,” Henry said. “That (tradition) goes along with Marquette well.” However, the Omaha native wasn’t just handed the job. Sophomore Sloane Carlson offered competition after making three appearances backing up Engel the season before. Henry saw the battle for the job as a
chance to shine. “I just kept my blinders on,” Henry said. “I knew there would be competition and I’d like to think I thrive in competition. So it was exciting for me.” Head coach Markus Roeders agreed with that sentiment. “She definitely has the goalkeeping talent,” Roeders said. “She has the athletic abilities. She reads the game really well.” He didn’t have any doubts about her experience either, despite her freshman status. “She also has the experience from years past, club soccer, high school soccer, regional ODP,” Roeders said. “She’s kind of knocked on the door of some youth national teams.” Henry’s pre-Marquette resume included a number of noteworthy moments. Her big game experience includes a Nebraska state title in 2013 – when she was just a sophomore – and state titles with the Omaha Football Club each of the past five seasons. Perhaps the biggest game of Henry’s career was last Sunday though, during the Golden Eagles’ West Coast road trip. She earned her sixth consecutive start in a contest against the No. 2/1 team in the country. Stanford lived up to the hype, launching 31 shots at Henry’s net on their way to a 3-0 victory. As a goalkeeper, days like that can be incredibly frustrating, but Henry was positive about the experience. “It was definitely one of the more challenging games I’ve

Freshman Maddy Henry made a career-high eight saves in Marquette’s 1-0 loss to Northwestern Sunday.
ever played in, just because of how many shots they had,” Henry said. “But it was, I don’t want to say fun, but it was a mental challenge.” Henry set a career high for saves a week later, when Marquette faced off with undefeated No. 24 Northwestern. She made eight saves in a narrow 1-0 loss, a number of which were highlight reel worthy. It’s no coincidence that Henry arrived just in time to take over for Engel. “Obviously we kind of knew our situation with Amanda Engel being a four-year starter,” Roeders said. “We knew and we had obviously seen what we had in Maddy. We felt comfortable enough for her to step in and
take this role.” Perhaps something else that made Roeders comfortable rolling with yet another freshman in the net is his group of veteran defenders. Directly in front of Henry are centerbacks Erin Holland and Madison Dunker. Holland, a senior, started 16 games as a sophomore and a junior, making her one of the most seasoned players on the roster. Dunker started 16 games last year as a sophomore, moving all around the defense. Just ahead of those two is senior Morgan Proffitt, one of the best defensive midfielders in the nation. Her defensive prowess in the midfield along with the abilities of Dunker and Holland helps shield Henry.
The freshman is highly aware of her great fortune in playing behind that practiced, talented group. “Coming in as a freshman, it’s nice to have experienced players in front of me,” Henry said. “They’re all three incredible, incredible players, so playing with them is a dream come true.” At 2-4-2, the Golden Eagles have come out of the gates a bit slower than they expected to this year, but their schedule has been loaded with talented teams and trick road trips.
