Fraternity put on probation over hazing allegations Chapter found liable after going through OSD conduct process
By Natalie Wickman
natalie.wickman@marquette.edu
Marquette’s Sigma Phi Delta chapter was found liable of hazing and received an academic-year probation and temporary suspension, the Office of Student Development
confirmed Monday. Corey Lansing, the director of campus activities and student involvement, provided details on the fraternity’s punishments following up on official warnings issued to Sigma Phi Delta by the Division of Student Affairs in April for hazing and an alleged sexual assault. “Sigma Phi Delta went through the university’s student organization conduct process this summer for hazing allegations and was found responsible for hazing and is
suspended in abeyance and placed on probation until May 15, 2016,” Lansing said in an email. This confirmation comes two weeks after Alix Minden, the grand president of the national Sigma Phi Delta fraternity, said the fraternity wasn’t suspended at the time and denied the sexual misconduct warning. “Sigma Phi Delta has not been charged with any charges, nor are any known charges pending in relation to the sexual assault

University President Michael Lovell’s inauguration was not all just pomp and circumstance — it was his chance to unveil his first few initiatives at the university. Lovell announced five new expansion strategies near the end of his address for the coming months, starting with a Center for Advancement of the Humanities, which immediately was met with a standing applause. The multimillion dollar donation from an unnamed contributor, he said, will help establish Marquette as a leading humanities institution in the Midwest. Lovell also announced Marquette purchased a 7.5-acre tract of land in the 800 block of W. Michigan St. The first lay president for the university called the land deal a “once in a lifetime opportunity” for both the university and the city of Milwaukee. Lovell announced the university would be closing on the property by the end of the month. Lovell said the university does not have any specific plans on what to do with the land yet, but the university will

an investigation into the incidents. However, Lansing said “no further disciplinary action has been taken” since Triangle and Delta Chi r eceived the warnings. “The letters that were given to (Triangle, Delta Chi and Sigma Phi Delta) were warning letters of alleged sexual misconduct that were reported to have occurred within the houses of those fraternities,” Lansing said in an email.

allegations,” Minden said in an email. “Sigma Phi Delta does not condone hazing, sexual misconduct or any other illegal or inappropriate activities.” In addition, the Triangle and Delta Chi fraternities each received a sexual misconduct warning after sexual assault allegations surfaced in April. The official warnings mean that any violations of either Greek policies or student codes of conduct will result in immediate suspension of all activities, pending the outcomes of

News in Brief Car thefts up 90 percent in MKE area The Milwaukee Police Department said that car thefts are up 90 percent compared to last year. Through June last year, there were 2,000 thefts, compared to nearly 3,000 thus far this year. The top five stolen cars so far in 2014 have been the 1999 Dodge Caravan, Dodge Intrepid, Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Town and Country, and Dodge Neon, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Police say these cars are very common and thus easier to steal. Of the stolen vehicles in Milwaukee, about 85 percent of them have been recovered by MPD with the majority of them not sustaining major damage according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. This leads police to believe that most of the car thefts in Milwaukee are teens who are joyriding or people just using a vehicle to get around. Nearly 75 percent of people arrested for car thefts are 20 years or younger, according to Fox6 News. Of course, not all of them are used for joyriding. Others have been used to commit much more serious crimes like robbery.

UW-Madison uses monkeys for study The University of WisconsinMadison will continue controversial maternal deprivation experiments with rhesus monkey infants. According to the Humane Society of the United States’ website, UW-Madison received a $500,000 grant from the National Institute of Mental Health for a study involving 20 rhesus monkey infants that will be separated from their mothers and studied. The separated monkeys will be paired with monkeys raised with their mothers before being exposed to various stimulants meant to induce fear and anxiety. The infants will undergo invasive tests before eventually being killed for a postmortem study. A petition started against the study, and despite concerns that such experiments offer little benefit to human children, the study will continue.

Law school partners with newspaper for fellowship MU Law, Journal Sentinel to look into effects of new arena By Ryan McCarthy
ryan.mccarthy@marquette.edu
The Marquette Law School and the Journal Sentinel’s Don Walker created a fellowship to study the effect a new arena will have on Milwaukee. The fellowship is part of the Lubar Fellowship, which is a partnership between the Marquette Law School and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that gives journalists the freedom to report on public policy issues in Wisconsin. It is funded by Sheldon Lubar, a Milwaukee philanthropist and businessman, who donated $2 million to the law school to fund research of public policy issues. Walker, a Marquette alumnus and Journal Sentinel reporter, is the third Lubar fellow. As a condition of last year’s sale of the Milwaukee Bucks, the organization must renovate the BMO Harris Bradley Center or build a new arena that meets NBA standards. Plans for a new arena must be in place by 2017 or the NBA has the option to buy the franchise back. The BMO Harris Bradley Center, which the Marquette men’s basketball team calls home, is the third oldest arena in the NBA. The two teams with older arenas are the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings. Both have announced plans for a new arena but only the Kings broke ground so far. “The (Bucks) owners have a very ambitious timetable,” Walker said. “A lot of things can happen between now and 2017.” There are many obstacles to
overcome when building a new stadium, choosing a location chief among them. The top two potential locations are a vacant lot on the corner of N. 4th St. and Wisconsin Ave. and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Panther Arena, formerly known as the U.S. Cellular Arena. “The site that is least objectionable is on N. 4th and Wisconsin,” Walker said. The greatest obstacle is funding the project. The previous owner, former Sen. Herb Kohl, and the new owners, Marc Lasry and Wes Edens, each committed $100 million to the new arena. Edens and Lasry have stated that a public tax is necessary to complete the project. “The greatest obstacle is that there is very strong opposition to any public tax,” Walker said. “Very few stadiums are built without a public tax.” Marquette may play a role in the future of the arena. University spokesman Brian Dorrington said recently-hired athletic director Bill Scholl will join the Cultural and Entertainment Capital Needs Task Force, which researches funding for the new arena. Marquette’s financial commitment is yet to be determined. University President Michael Lovell recently said he may seek different streams of revenue in a new arena. “One of the things that we struggle with at the Bradley Center is we just get gate revenue,” Lovell said in an interview with the Journal Sentinel. “We don’t get parking and concessions. I don’t want to overcommit the university if there are not revenue streams coming back.” The Journal Sentinel will publish Walker’s findings in a special report next year.

New cards to comply with Wisconsin voter ID laws Students will receive new university-issued cards for elections By Julia Pagliarulo
julia.pagliarulo@marquette.edu
To comply with Wisconsin’s newly reinstated voter ID law, Marquette will devise a plan to allow students to use Marquetteissued identification as recognized documentation for the Nov. 4 elections. The law, which was reinstated Sept. 12, requires proper identification to vote in Wisconsin elections. According to the law, proper identification includes driver’s licenses, state ID cards, passports, limited types of student IDs, military IDs, naturalization certificates and IDs issued by a tribe based in Wisconsin. It does not include Marquette student IDs. With the election six weeks away, Marquette is working on a solution. “Marquette is in the process of determining how to provide a
university- issued ID card, valid only for voting, upon request, that will meet the requirements of the voter ID law, to promote the educational benefits that come from student participation in the political process,” said Mary Czech-Mrochinski, director of governmental and community affairs, in an email. Czech-Mrochinski also said that this initiative would allow any student 18 or older who has lived in Wisconsin for 28 days and is a U.S. citizen without any convicted felonies to register to vote once he or she provides a valid Marquette Voter ID and an enrollment verification document. So far, efforts have received campus support. “The Marquette University College Republicans support MU’s efforts to assist students to obtain legal, Government Accountability Board approved voter identification for this election cycle,” said Samantha Connor, chair of Marquette College Republicans, in an email. The Marquette College Democrats did not respond in time for this article.
The ID card is free to Marquette students and should be distributed in time for the upcoming election. “The university has determined that the most cost-effective way to do that in time for the Nov. 4 election is to provide, upon request, a unique ID for this purpose,” Czech-Mrochinski said. “As the option isn’t cost prohibited, and given the educational benefits that come from students participating in the political process, the university decided to find a way to provide a university- issued voter ID to students. There will be no charge to students for the ID.” But this plan is not without obstacles. “The biggest challenge will be to provide students accurate information as to what they need to do and provide in order to register to vote and actually be able to vote,” Czech-Mrochinski said. According to the Wisconsin Voter ID legislation unanimously passed by the Marquette Student Government in May 2011, students were allowed to use Marquette student IDs without

a birth date or address on them as proper voter identification. However, two weeks ago, Wisconsin reversed this legislation because of the reinstatement of Gov. Scott Walker’s voter
ID law, leaving Marquette to find a solution before November’s election between Republican Walker and Democrat Mary Burke.

Provost listening sessions held for students, staff Search committee received input on lack of fine arts, advisers By Robert Gebelhoff
robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu
As Marquette transitions into a “strong provost” model of governance, the search for its permanent academic leader aims to fill a void in implementing the school’s strategic plan. John Su, chair of the provost search committee and director of the University Core of Common Studies, stressed at listening sessions Monday afternoon that the previous organizational structure of the university did not give the provost enough power to carry out the university’s outlined priorities. The new organizational structure that was announced last fall will position the provost as leader of the university’s deans and vice presidents. “In many respects, it’s not so much about the person as it is the role,” Su said at a listening session geared for students to give input to the search committee. “There’s been a gradual increase in the activity of the provost. In many ways, the provost is more important to your daily life than the president.” The search committee for Marquette’s next provost hosted four listening sessions throughout Monday, collecting input from faculty, staff and
students on what they want in the person who will lead the school’s academics. Participants touched on a wide variety of issues -campus safety, the lack of fine arts on campus and the quality of advisers- at a student session in Raynor Memorial Library. The input will be considered by members of the search committee and representatives from Isaacson, Miller, the firm that is conducting the nationwide search. A handful of students at the session expressed their appreciation toward Lovell’s engagement with students during the past month and last week’s inauguration events. “We really need someone to be student-driven,” said Courtney Guc, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration. “I would like to see the provost meeting with students on a regular basis.” Most of the discussion focused on the quality of faculty and professors, as the provost will take a lead role in developing the school’s hiring and diversity strategies. While students offered feedback of their experiences with professors, Carolyne Hurlburt, an English graduate student, suggested that student input regarding faculty would have more power if course evaluations were internally published within the university.

committee, responded by saying that evaluations could not be published because low response rates keep them from being “scientifically valid.” A number of students also expressed frustration regarding diversity on campus and how students react to Milwaukee’s urban environment and students of color. Some suggested that the university offer diversity training for new students,
similar to the online courses offered for alcohol use and sexual violence. The provost search was put on hold for 10 months while Marquette started searching for a president fall 2013. It resumed in August, following the decision to hire University President Michael Lovell in March. The new provost is slated to be announced no later than March 2015, following sessions

Greek: Sigma Phi Delta suspended for violations “The letters were not notices of pending investigations.” Probation is a formal notice to a student organization that its behavior is unacceptable, and that the university may take more severe action if inappropriate behavior continues. As a result of the probation and temporary suspension, Sigma Phi Delta will undergo outcomes determined by the Office of Student Development. “The outcomes were designed to help the chapter grow in a positive direction through membership review, a three-year development plan and new member education and development,” Lansing said in an email. Keith Edwards, a sexual assault prevention and social justice
speaker, will speak on campus Oct. 7. Lansing said Triangle, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, Marquette Student Government, the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center and the Office of Student Development partnered to bring Edwards to campus. At the time of publication, there is no information about the fraternity’s probation and temporary suspension on its website. Sigma Phi Delta was previously placed on probation, along with five other fraternities, through the fall 2012 semester for alcohol-related violations. Established in 1931, the Eta chapter of Sigma Phi Delta is the oldest fraternity on campus. All of its members are engineering majors.

Lovell: President announces new property explore its options. Lovell also said there would be a $5 million strategic innovation fund, which he described as being akin to a venture capital fund that would provide seed money to students, beginning in July 2015. Other plans announced included the university moving into the sixth floor of the Global Water Center in the Fifth Ward, joining water-related companies and other universities at the research facility. The center is used for industry research and development. Lovell said Marquette is exploring options for a presence at the Innovation Campus in Wauwatosa, a research park he praised while Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. Marquette will also launch a bioengineering department with the Medical College of Wisconsin. In addition, Lovell announced a partnership with the university’s surrounding neighborhood, called Avenues West. Lovell said he and Harley-Davidson CEO Keith Wandell will partner with other “neighborhood anchor institutions” in a safety initiative in the neighborhood. The goal is to make Avenues West a destination for visitors coming to Milwaukee. Safety is a key concern on campus, and Lovell said the
partnership will enhance safety on campus. The Department of Public Safety sent five public safety alerts to students since the week before classes started. In the past week, two thefts from motor vehicles, five reports of battery, five reports of theft and one report of robbery according to DPS’s daily log. Legislation signed into law last spring gave permission to Marquette to create its own police department. Private university officers would have the same powers as Milwaukee Police Department officers to enforce the law, as well as codes defined in Marquette’s code of conduct. At his inauguration, Lovell was welcomed by several dignitaries, including Gov. Scott Walker and Archbishop Jerome Listecki. Listecki said Lovell’s profession as an engineer puts him in a unique place to lead the university. “Being an engineer, I know you’ll work hard to build your house on a firm foundation,” Listecki said. Walker, a father of a current Marquette student, applauded Lovell for putting students first. Walker said Lovell “lives a life of faith that is steady and profound.”

New MUSG Senate selected New senators trained Monday, make goals for upcoming year By Joseph Cahill
joseph.cahill@marquette.edu
Newly-elected residential senators of Marquette Student Government discussed priorities for the upcoming year at last night’s 2014-2015 senate training. The training began with an address from Vice President of Student Affairs, L. Christopher Miller. He told the new senators to take advantage of the opportunities Marquette and MUSG provide students. Miller spoke about how it is important for Marquette to develop a long-term strategic plan to address the concerns about diversity on campus. “The diversity of ideas, thoughts and concepts make us better,” Miller said. The ability to get things done, Miller said, is what fascinates him the most about this student government. “What is amazing about this body is that you can come together and make things happen,” Miller said. “I wish Congress could learn from you in that regard.” Executive Vice President
Natalie Pinkney, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, mentioned that reviewing and going over the Student Organization Funding process was one of the main goals for the training. Senate members participated in an activity that replicated how the SOF committee operates. Pinkney also said the SOF process was a huge concern to her for the upcoming year. “I would like to focus on SOF and getting that organized and transparent with the student body,” Pinkney said. “I think that is a concern, just getting that to be an efficient process internally and externally.”
approximately $163,000. “That is still $163,000 of unspent student money and we need to look into ways to invest and return that to students,” Whelton said. “We also need to get us into some sound financial practices that are going to prevent that from ever happening again.” As well as trying to tame the reserve fund, Whelton also hopes to find more ways the senate can address diversity. “The diversity committee didn’t get passed but we are looking at other ways to address it,” Whelton said. “We are really excited to work with this new group and see where some

Three new programs expand horizons for two week long event By Stephanie Harte
stephanie.harte@marquette.edu
For the past six years, the Milwaukee Film Festival brought directors and movie buffs from all over the country to experience two straight weeks of cinematic glory. With this year’s new programs, special guests and additional venues, the festival is expected to see a 40 percent increase in attendance. The sixth annual Milwaukee Film Festival runs from Sept. 25 - Oct. 9 at seven different venues including the Oriental Theatre, Downer Theatre, Fox-Bay Cinema Grill, Times Cinema, Kenilworth Square, Hotel Foster and the Colectivo Coffee on Prospect Ave. “Our guiding principle is to present the best 15 days of cinema on the planet,” said Jonathan Jackson, the Milwaukee Film Festival’s artistic and executive director. The festival’s team extensively researches 50 film festivals in the U.S. to determine the most noteworthy motion pictures. The team monitors which films received the best track record among audiences based on the films with the most screenings and award wins. “We do not strive to show the first cinema you can find anywhere, but the best,” Jackson said. Jackson predicts that the films shown during the opening ceremonies and closing night will attract the largest audiences. The
festival’s opening night feature is “1971,” Johanna Hamilton’s thrilling documentary on eight fearless citizens who take the initiative to expose government corruption. Through dramatic reenactments, exclusive interviews and archival footage, she shows the citizens breaking into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania to take hundreds of secret files and reveal them to the public. Hamilton also plans to attend the screening. The opening night party follows the screening of “1971” and occurs at Kenilworth Place. Jackson described the event as a great way to meet fellow movie lovers in Milwaukee, as well as interact with people you know in a casual setting. “Guests can expect a really awesome experience,” he said. “The party has multi-level dance floors and allows the audience to engage with each other.” The festival’s guests of honor include critically acclaimed documentarians Marshall Curry and Deborah Granik. Curry and Granik will both participate in extended question and answer sessions following screenings of their films. Curry’s first directed piece, “Street Fight,” about the first political campaign of current U.S. Senator Cory Booker, is playing Oct. 7 at the Oriental Theatre. His latest documentary, “Point and Shoot,” follows a young Baltimore native who finds himself as a Libyan rebel fighting dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Granik’s films in the festival include “Stray Dog” and “Winter’s Bone.” “Winter’s Bone” stars Jennifer Lawrence, whose character must locate her missing father.
The film helped launch Lawrence’s career and received four Academy Award nominations in 2011. “Stray Dog” follows Ron “Stray Dog” Hall, a biker, Vietnam vet, husband and father. The documentary serves to correct rural stereotypes. Jackson praised both Curry and Granik as “the leading storytellers of our time.” Over the two-week period, the festival will show 275 movies broken up into 14 different programs, including the new Film Feast, Black Lens and Art + Artist series. Film Feast features eight movies celebrating the culture of food and drink. Jackson said the films go beyond the standard food documentaries and include fiction films as well. An interesting pick in the series includes “Paulette,” a French comedy about a pastry chef who turns to cannabis dealing to make ends meet. The Black Lens program showcases the work of established and emerging African-American filmmakers. The films are meant to spotlight the innovative individuals behind the cinematic work and broaden their audiences. The idea for the program developed after George Tillman Jr.’s “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete” sold out the Oriental Theatre last year. A must-see in this category is Alton Glass’s “CRU,” a drama about four high school friends who reconnect after a tragic accident split them apart 20 years earlier. The Art + Artist series features eight documentaries focused on the creativity behind visual and performing arts. Jackson teamed up with Kristopher Pollard, the festival’s membership manager and a local artist, to

select the films. The documentary “Advanced Style” follows seven older fashionistas living in New York City with ages ranging from 62 to 95. Another new feature to the festival is the addition of the Times Cinema in Wauwatosa to its exclusive list of venues. “The festival is a great way to engage with Milwaukee and the world presented on screen,” Jackson said. “It allows guests to visit unique venues like the Oriental Theatre, architecturally one of the top cinemas in the USA.” Motion Pictures Magazine named the Oriental Theatre “One of the 10 Best Movie Theatres in America” in 2011.
Along with featuring films by experienced and award-winning directors, the festival hosts a competition category to help emerging filmmakers. The festival’s esteemed jury will judge the eight films in this category, a mixture of documentary and fiction films. The winning director will receive the $10,000 Herzfeld Competition Award to assist with future work. Jackson’s goal for the film festival is to expose Milwaukee to the positive impacts of film. “I have been profoundly impacted by films in my own life,” Jackson said. “I want to bring this back to the community to make a positive impact on those watching the movies and cinema.”

Emerging indie band Cheerleader mixes rock attitude, chill vocals By Sarah Schlaefke
sarah.schlaefke@marquette.edu
Up-and-coming indie hazepop band Cheerleader might just be the musical anecdote to your day. Band members Joe Haller and Chris Duran first created Cheerleader in Duran’s parents’ basement in Hartford, Conn. during the early 2000s. The duo was forced to take a hiatus from their music as college approached. Their determination
and camaraderie kept the pair developing their music over holidays and school breaks. Josh Pannepacker, Carl Bahner and Paul Impellizeri joined the band before Cheerleader began its most recent tour. The team is set to release its debut EP, “On Your Side,” Oct. 7 and play a celebratory show in Milwaukee’s own Club Garibaldi, located at 2501 S. Superior St. The title track, “On Your Side,” starts the EP off strong as the band conveys a story about

the brightness and perseverance that hold the foundation to any young love. With memorable and relatable lyrics like, “I’ve been on your side all this time,” Cheerleader strums along with shiny chords and snappy drums that keeps its audience replaying this song over and over again. Hidden in the EP is the gem “Perfect Vision,” another addicting song that sounds like it could be the opening to an ‘80s action movie. The easy rock attitude behind this song is an open invitation for anyone to get up and dance. The band skillfully laces “Perfect Vision’s” positivity through the remainder of the EP, maintaining its pop, indie-rock edge. Cheerleader’s strongest point is its solid sound. It fits perfectly into an alternative indiepop genre with the synthesizing streams and glimmering guitar that lead each track through to the finish. The focused and relaxed vocals make the EP easy to listen to during hard-core homework sessions or relaxed cruises down the highway with the windows down. Fans of Bleachers, Magic Man and Smallpools will likely appreciate Cheerleader’s similar sound. Serious talent is obvious through the band’s work, but the tempo of each track makes it seem like Cheerleader does

Student, faculty input key to Lovell’s new initiatives
Illustration by Ellery Fry/ellery.fry@marquette.edu
Our view: Lovell’s newest initiatives revealed at his inauguration set the groundwork, but student and faculty input can maximize their potential for the future The inauguration ceremony of Marquette’s 24th president Michael Lovell took place this past Friday after days of build up and celebration. In the hullabaloo of pomp and circumstance, Lovell announced upcoming changes for the university, including new innovation initiatives, Milwaukee partnerships and a campus expansion. Lovell’s plan shows he has actively sought out new ways to advance the university since he first began fulltime on campus in July. His relationships formed during his time as chancellor of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee benefit his new university’s mission. The proposed partnerships with the Global Water Center in the Fifth Ward, the Innovation Campus in Wauwatosa and the Medical College of Wisconsin demonstrate the diverse connections Lovell established within the Milwaukee area and how the interests of many will be pursued going into the future. Initiatives within the university through a strategic innovation fund and a Center for the Advancement of the Humanities account for other areas where the university supports students and faculty. These are opportunities for the university, and Lovell is predominantly responsible for involving Marquette. His ability to forge connections and partnerships is one of his most desirable qualities as president, and while we can thank him for his hard work to establish these opportunities, it is up to the rest of the university to solidify and pursue them to their fullest extent. Marquette and the surrounding community must give their input and support as new initiatives are put into motion. Lovell
has set up desirable circumstances, and we as Marquette affiliates need to help figure out how far we can go with them. The new land acquisition at Marquette is a perfect example of expected but not fully established changes. There is no set plan for the land’s use, so the university has a chance to speak up about what it wants to see added to Marquette’s constantly developing campus. The possibilities are set up, and we need to figure out how we as a campus want to take advantage of them to progress in our mission. Lovell established connections with the Global Water Center and the Innovation Campus, but there is still room for greater input from students and faculty. A campuswide discussion will take place Oct. 2 to hash out the details, and people must take part in the initiatives to meet the interests of the university. It is up to students and faculty to help guide the establishment of a Center for the Advancement of the Humanities as well. Lovell will assuredly be involved, but he will need assistance from different humanities departments and associated individuals to figure out what this center can do to become a renowned institution for the humanities and how that will benefit students and faculty in the long-run. The intention is there, but there needs to be continued participation in order for it to thrive. The same goes for the strategic innovation fund as the participation of students and faculty are pivotal to its usefulness and success. President Lovell is putting a great deal of thought and energy into bringing together all these opportunities, and now is the time to figure out how the university can take advantage of them and continue to progress in the short- and long-term.
Jasmine Gonzalez As an upperclassman living off-campus without a car, I find it hard keeping my kitchen stocked with fresh fruits and veggies. A trip to the grocery store requires 40 minutes of commuting to and from Pick ’n Save, and I am only able to carry so much—which, with my weak arms, is not much. You often hear that Marquette is located in the middle of a food desert, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture defines as “an urban neighborhood … without ready access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food.” Neighborhoods that meet these criteria generally lack grocery stores and produce stands, supplemented only by restaurants and corner stores. Members of the student body want this issue to be addressed, with calls for a grocery store to be brought to the area. However, that desire depends on whether or not a grocery store or chain is willing to cooperate with the neighborhood in the first place. So far, it looks like there is little interest in investing in our area. But we are not without hope. As a community, we have been looking for solutions to our food desert crisis, but perhaps we have not fully explored every possible solution. There are nonprofits dedicated to solving the food scarcity issue here in the city, such as Growing Power, an urban farm dedicated to producing fresh and healthy food for the local community. Looking to supplement urban areas lacking accessible grocery stores, Growing Power runs the Farm-to-City Market Basket Program. On a weekly basis, the farm puts together baskets of fresh and
seasonal fruits and vegetables. There are three options available for purchase each week. The regular market basket feeds two to four individuals and costs $16. The smaller junior/senior basket—about half the size of the regular basket—costs $9. The sustainable market basket also feeds two to four individuals, but is made up of all organic produce and costs $27. Interested parties can order and pick up their baskets from designated Growing Power sites in the city, or can have orders over $160 delivered to their home or work address. At the moment, a couple of my friends are trying to get a group together to place a deliverable order. It is not necessarily the easiest task, though. To reach the order minimum, at least 18 students buying the $9 junior/senior basket would need to pitch in. But what if we approached this issue on a larger scale? What if we involved more people in the Marquette community to get in on the deal? It could be pretty simple. Marquette students can take up the duty of organizing the effort to bring a nonprofit like Growing Power on campus, whether it is MUSG or a student organization such as Students for an Environmentally Active Campus. They can raise awareness of their Market Basket program and find students that might be interested, such as off-campus upperclassmen or even dorm-dwelling underclassmen. Orders would then be taken, and we could work with Growing Power to have the baskets delivered. It is a win-win. On our end, we end up with fresh, local produce weekly, and we help support a local nonprofit. On their end, Growing Power receives a boost in community awareness and in sales. At least for our produce needs, it is a viable alternative to trying to attract a grocery store to campus and certainly one we should consider.

Independence, secession movements persist in 21st century
Matt Gozun Scottish voters elected to stay within the United Kingdom last Thursday, temporarily putting to rest the issue of how many crosses should be on the British flag. The Unionist victory was not too surprising, considering the vast majority of pre-election polls predicted it, but the fact that 45 percent of Scots wanted to separate from the UK state says a lot about current attitudes regarding what it means to be a state. We Yanks tend to negatively view the word ‘secession’ after the Civil War. More than 600,000 Americans died in a conflict over whether or not states have the right to leave the Union, and due to one side’s close association with slavery, it is unlikely that American secession movements will gain traction any time soon. Across the Atlantic, however, secession has become all the rage for a variety of European regions dissatisfied with the status quo. While the colonial borders of Africa and the Middle East are often cited as textbook examples of disparate groups living within the same borders due to some arbitrary act of history, it was in Europe that the term Balkanization was first applied. Since 1990, 15 of the 30 countries that became independent states (the number varies due to whether certain

countries such as Russia should be considered separate from their predecessors) are in Europe. While some countries, including the Czech Republic and Slovakia, had an amicable divorce, the breakup of the former Yugoslavia sparked the first major war in Europe since World War II. Even with the defeat of Scotland’s independence referendum, talks of independence in Europe persist. The regional parliament in Catalonia, an autonomous community of Spain, just passed a measure that would give the regional president the power to call a “consultation” vote regarding independence. Separatists in Belgium’s Dutch-speaking Flanders, Spain’s Basque Country, the German state of Bavaria and
the French island of Corsica, among others, are now calculating their next moves. And in Eastern Ukraine, separatists have fought a bloody civil war with the objective of achieving independence, or union with Russia, for two provinces which they have dubbed “Novorossiya.” When I asked my roommates from Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, whether they considered Catalonia to be a nation, one of them explained it by saying “if Portugal is a country, and if France is a country, then why isn’t Catalonia?” Unlike in Scotland, most people in Catalonia are not native speakers of the national language. Numerous cultural differences abound, and during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, the Catalan
language and culture were greatly suppressed. Even today, many Catalans feel the tax money they send to Madrid does not benefit Catalonia equally. With the expansion of the European Union in both size and authority, it is somewhat ironic to see its member states break apart even as they become more integrated with the rest of the continent. However, at the heart of the issue is something that has been rather taboo in Europe since the end of fascism: nationalism. Nationalists today seek to protect themselves from what they perceive to be threats to their unique culture. While some believe this is achievable through reforms such as federalization, others want to separate entirely, believing their current state governments do not represent them. This phenomenon is also increasingly visible at the national level, with parties like France’s National Front and the United Kingdom Independence Party gaining ground in recent elections. The rise of these parties is like a response to what is considered the loss of national identity and sovereignty at the hands of the European Union and immigration from non-Western European countries. With globalization increasing, it will be interesting to see how these nationalists fare as populations continue to diversify and borders become increasingly fluid. Still, it would be foolish to say that nationalism in Europe has died. Matt Gozun is a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, studying biology and economics.

Women’s soccer defeats Kansas, LSU
Photo by Valeria Cardenas/valeria.cardenas@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team outshot Louisiana State in their second victory of the weekend. The LSU match followed the team’s biggest upset victory of the season.
Weekend included 1-0 victory over No. 16 Kansas By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team ended non-conference play in a big way, shutting out No. 16 Kansas Friday night and beating Louisiana State 2-1 Sunday afternoon. The Golden Eagles opened a four game home stand with its toughest opponent, Kansas. The Jayhawks came out and immediately challenged Marquette, but in the seventh minute the Golden Eagles gave fans something to cheer for. Junior defender Jacie Jermier took a free kick from outside the box and launched it into the top right corner, past Kansas’s goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. The goal was Jermier’s third off a free kick and made her Marquette’s leading scorer. She also earned Big East Defensive Player of the Week. With Jermier’s goal, it was the first time the Jayhawks had
allowed an opponent to score in the first half. It was also the first time they had trailed all season, and it broke a scoreless sheet that lasted nearly 300 minutes. Kansas was not flustered, and continued to attack, but the Golden Eagle back line held steady. Junior goalkeeper Amanda Engel was only forced to make one save in the first half, and two in the second. The Golden Eagles managed possession throughout most of the game, but nearing the final buzzer, the Jayhawks increased pressure. Marquette responded by weathering the storm, and did not allow Kansas any serious chances in the final minutes. Head coach Markus Roeders said he thought the defense played very well against the talented Jayhawks. “I thought defensively we were really good,” Roeders said. “At times we had to absorb a little bit of pressure … I thought the effort was great.” When the final buzzer sounded, Marquette had played one of its most complete games this year and handed Kansas its first loss of the season.
Jermier said it was a great feeling to get a signature win. “That was a team that was undefeated,” Jermier said. “So it’s always great to knock a team down.” Roeders said it was a very big win for the team. “We played Kansas,” Roeders said. “They are in here nationally ranked, came in here undefeated, and we were able to do something for the first time that they hadn’t experienced all year long.” Sunday afternoon pitted Marquette against LSU in its final match before Big East play. The Tigers came to Valley Fields on the last game of a four-game road trip, but fatigue did not show. The two sides played back-and-forth soccer, with neither side establishing a solid flow to the game. The Golden Eagles were forced to make in-game adjustments to their game plan, as sophomore midfielder Ashley Handwork appeared to pull a muscle in her right leg while chasing down a through ball. Handwork came out of the game in the sixteenth minute and did not return. The two sides played
out the rest of the half without any other causalities, but both sides had its fair share of scoring chances. Both keepers were forced to make three saves in the first half. Marquette came out in the second half and kicked it into gear. The side established possession early and spent a significant amount of time in the attacking third. Marquette finally broke through in the 63rd minute, as junior forward Shalese Miller crashed the net and headed in a rebound. Two minutes later, freshman midfielder Eli Beard rocketed a shot from 25 yards out into the upper left corner of the net to give the Golden Eagles a 2-0 lead. Roeders said Miller was important to the team replacing Handwork. “She’s a goal scorer,” Roeders said of Miller. “She was able to get to the right spot, follow up, kind of use the cross bar as her assist and put it away.” LSU bounced back in the 73rd minute when the team caught Marquette sleeping. The Tigers got a free kick, and did a quick start while the Golden Eagles were trying to set up their de-
fensive plan. LSU’s Summer Clarke got behind the defense and put a ball far post, out of the reach of Engel. Roeders said the team was not ready for the Tigers’ set pieces. “We let our guard down a little bit on their set plays,” Roeders said. The Golden Eagles recuperated and played solid defense for the rest of the game, notching their first back-to-back win of the season in the 2-1 victory against the Tigers. Miller said the two wins were great to get right before conference play. “We’ve played well, but we haven’t really put all the pieces together,” Miller said. “To get two wins in a row, especially versus these two teams, is awesome.” Roeders said he looks to carry the momentum into the Big East season. “It’s a great way to jump into conference play,” Roeders said. “I’m excited for our group and our team.” Marquette kicks off Big East play Thursday night against Creighton at Valley Fields. Start time is at 7 p.m.

Lyon, MU extend shutout streak against NIU Late goals propel men’s soccer to fifth straight win By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Although the box score looks comfortable for Marquette, the game was not. In the waning minutes of the match it appeared Marquette and Northern Illinois were heading to extra time, but two goals a minute apart helped Marquette walk off winners for the fifth straight contest. Redshirt freshman defender Jack Alberts broke the ice in the 80th minute, heading in a free kick from sophomore Louis Bennett II. Alberts’ first goal came in Marquette’s last game, a 2-0 victory over Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Sophomore forward Coco Navarro cushioned the finish when he scored his first goal of the season a minute later. His goal came off a tipped corner kick. The match was the fifth straight shutout for redshirt senior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon, who has not given up a goal since the opening weekend tournament. He had three saves on the night. Lyon now needs only one more shutout to set the Marquette record. The single season record of 12 shutouts is also on the radar. This is the first time Marquette has recorded five straight shutouts in program history. The team hasn’t allowed a goal at home since November 2, 2o13, setting the record for the most minutes without surrendering a tally. The win streak has helped the Golden Eagles move up in the rankings this week. Marquette is 17th in the coaches poll after being unranked last week. This is the first time that Marquette has cracked the poll this season.
They remained at 13th in the Top Drawer Soccer rankings. Marquette will have plenty of time to prepare for its next match, as the team is off until Saturday when it hosts Providence, its first Big East match of the year. Marquette players honored by Big East This week was a big one for Marquette in terms of Big East honors. Redshirt Freshman Jack Alberts won both Big East Rookie of the Week and was also named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week. Redshirt junior Axel Sjoberg was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Week for the second week in a row. A Marquette player has now been given the award three weeks in a row, as John Pothest received the honor before Sjoberg. The defensive unit as a whole has played a huge part in the team’s shutout streak, allowing minimal dangerous opportunities. “There have been instances where being have had to do extraordinary things,” coach Louis Bennett said. “They showed talent and real skill to get it done. For the most part defensive organization, discipline, and real strong focus has been a common thread that allows us to do that.” Louis Bennett II ninth in the NCAA in assists Sophomore midfielder Louis Bennett II is currently tied for ninth in NCAA Division I soccer with four assists on the season. He only needs one more assist to match his total from his freshman year.

3-day tournament concludes with mixed results Trukov, Romanello played in doubles championship By Hayley Keith
Special to The Tribune
The Marquette men’s tennis team took on the Purdue Fall Invitational Tournament this past weekend. The 19-team tournament lasted three days, featuring numerous matches for the Golden Eagles. The men were represented in singles play by freshmen Scott Christian and Andre Romanello, sophomores Kristiyan Trukov and Mackenzie Sterns, junior Gleb Skylr and senior Cameron Tehrani. After dropping his first match to Brandon Woods of Butler 6-2, 6-2, Trukov went on to claim the consolation championship in Flight D, beating Alex Woldmoe of Butler 6-2, 6-4. Also in Trukov’s bracket was Romanello, who advanced to the semifinal round in regular play before falling to Chicago’s Sven Kranz 6-2, 6-4. Tehrani and Skylr made it to the semifinal round in the consolation brackets of Flight B and E, respectively. Doubles play proved to be more successful for the Golden Eagles as the dynamic duo of Trukov and Romanello competed for the championship in Flight B. However, they were unable to bring home the win, losing to Chicago State’s doubles team of Mario Noboa and Sergiu Muresan. Doubles team Tehrani and Sterns ended their tournament in the consolation semifinal round of Flight A, losing to Iowa’s Jake Jacoby and Nils Hallestrand 8-0. The men will travel to Muncie, Indiana for the Ball State Fall Invite on Friday, Sept. 26. The women will also resume play the weekend of the Sept. 26 as they participate in the USAFA Invitational in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Hockey splits high-scoring series with Bradley Squads combine for 19 goals in spirited weekend By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
The Marquette men’s club hockey team battled Bradley in what turned out to be a very eventful home opener for the Golden Eagles. The two teams combined to score 19 goals across the two games, have two players ejected and give fans two very exciting games in Marquette’s 3-2 victory Friday night and 8-7 loss Saturday. Friday night, a first period power-play goal by sophomore Corey Quinn from senior Tyler Schwichenberg gave the Golden Eagles an early lead. Two Bradley goals in the second period brought the Braves ahead and secured a 2-1 lead through the second period. As the defensive struggle continued to hold, Marquette got its best scoring
chance late in the period with a Bradley two-minute minor penalty at the five minute mark of the third period. Seizing the man advantage, coach Will Jurgensen took a huge chance and pulled their goalie with 4:30 left on the clock. Even with a Golden Eagle player in the box as well, Jurgensen wanted to take advantage of the 5-on-3 as long as he could. With another Bradley minor at the 2:40 mark, Marquette was able to counterattack and equalized with a Schwichenberg goal from sophomore John Stillman in the nick of time, as there were only 47 seconds left in the game. Jurgensen viewed the decision as a no-brainer given the deficit. “I knew as long as we kept two guys on the puck, the other team wouldn’t have a chance to ice it all the way down,” Jurgensen said. “As a coach, it made sense to give it all we could with the man advantage instead of waiting a minute to essentially do the same thing.”
The goal bought Marquette five more minutes of playing time, and after the goalless extra period, the game went to a shootout. After eight shooters went for each team, the raucus crowd was able to celebrate a 3-2 shootout victory in the first home game of the season. “The morale after that win is something that can carry a team through the whole season,” Jurgensen said. Before Saturday’s game, Jurgensen reemphasized the importance of the victory the night before as well as pointing out the need for more a bit more aggressiveness. He definitely got it in a much chippier second game. Marquette got off to a quick start in Saturday’s game with a power play goal from Stillman off a rebound, his second of the weekend. After a quick Bradley response, another goal came from sophomore Colin Telmanik after coming out of the penalty box, giving Marquette an early 2-1 lead. But the aggression began to
flare up in the second with six penalties in only eight minutes. At the 10-minute mark, a fight in front of Marquette’s goal broke out and subsequent language with the referee got Bradley’s first player ejected. The period concluded with another three goals for Bradley, giving the Braves a 4-2 lead after two periods. The third period started fast with four goals in the first seven minutes from Stillman, Schwichenberg, sophomore Will Podewils, and senior Tyler Zanon, giving Marquette a daunting 7-4 lead with only 13 minutes left. Another Bradley player was thrown out around the 10-minute mark, swearing about in-game calls and breaking his stick as he left the arena. But the large lead eventually slipped as Bradley worked their way back into the game with three power-play goals to end regulation time at 7-7. Overtime looked like it would once again lead to the second shootout of the weekend, only to be thwarted by a
3-on-1 opportunity and goal with only seven seconds left in extra time. Despite the loss, Jurgensen believed Saturday’s physical affair was necessary for the continued growth of the team. “I think for us it’s about understanding that physical play leads to turnovers,” Jurgensen said. “I think it was evident today (Saturday) that our defensemen need to be more physical in front of the net. We have a big team, and I think the physical aspect of our game is something we need to continue to improve on going forward.” Overall, Jurgensen viewed the weekend in a positive light, conscious of the team’s ability to come back in games later in the season. “To come into two third periods down and being able to tie the games up shows a lot of character,” Jurgensen said. Marquette travels to Cincinnati, Ohio for a three-game road trip against the Miami Hurricanes, Xavier Musketeers and Oakland Golden Bears.

Lacrosse-only facility ideal step for program
Jack Goods The University of Michigan approved plans to build a 3,000 seat lacrosse-only facility on Tuesday. The university decided that its two other options, playing games in the enormous Michigan Stadium or the much too small Oosterbaan Field House, just didn’t fit its Division I program. The new facility creates a more sport appropriate stadium and works as an enormous recruiting tool. Marquette should take notes. In many ways, the two programs are rather similar. Michigan moved to the varsity level during a flurry of lacrosse additions, including Marquette. The Wolverines joined the ranks in 2012, while the Marquette joined a year later. Despite Michigan’s enormous presence, the Golden Eagles experienced far more success than Michigan thus far. Michigan has only won seven games in their three seasons, including two seasons where they only won one game. Marquette got off to a solid start by lacrosse standards, winning five games in its first season and six in their second. Marquette has a head start, but they will need to make a financial commitment if they ever want to play in the top tier of the sport. The Golden Eagles currently play at Hart Park, a bus ride away in Wauwatosa. It’s a fine facility, but it is not Marquette’s. There is no Marquette specific locker room to keep equipment and no realistic way
for Marquette to practice there frequently. This is a huge setback for Marquette landing recruits, who compare their high school level field with places like the Carrier Dome or Johns Hopkins’ Homewood field. The university has the excuse of being a new program currently, but in time it will need to show a further commitment to the sport to land top recruits. Not every program has a lacrosse specific stadium, but nearly all DI programs play on campus. Marquette does not play at Valley Fields because the facility’s capacity is not large enough to fit attendance, and there is no other option on campus. Then there is the discussion of building an indoor facility as well, which would allow for the team to practice earlier and host early season home games. Currently the team has difficulty hosting games early in the season due to the cold weather. But that is a whole other story. University President Michael Lovell announced during his inauguration that the school is in the process of purchasing 7.5 acres in the 800 block of W. Michigan. What the university plans to do with this new addition is still unknown. Lovell has stressed the idea of expanding the footprint of the university early on. The school will have the land, it just matters how high up on the to-do list lacrosse resides. When the program started, Marquette seemed to have its sights set on building a topnotch lacrosse program. Coach Joe Amplo has helped build that Marquette identity at an incredibly fast pace, creating buzz nationally this season thanks to the team’s second-place finish in their first year of Big East play. It is time for the facilities to mirror that success. Jack Goods is a sophomore from Buffalo, New York majoring in Journalism. Email him at jack.goods@marquette.edu

The players are the first to be drafted out of Marquette By Jack Goods

It was an historic night for Marquette lacrosse, as two former Golden Eagles were drafted into the National Lacrosse League, the premiere indoor lacrosse league. Forward Tyler Melnyk was taken 19th overall by the Edmonton Rush, while defenseman Andrew Smistad was taken 54th overall by the Calgary Roughnecks. They are the first Marquette players to be drafted professionally. “It’s a great day for them and for us,” said Marquette men’s lacrosse coach Joe Amplo. “It makes our program look good. It shows the character of our guys, our team and what we are trying to build here.” Melnyk led Marquette in goals and points in his two years with
the program. Last season he became the first Marquette player to be named a USILA All-American. He was named to the All-Big East team in 2013 as well. He landed on many NLL teams’ radars thanks to his production this summer. Melnyk spent the summer with the Langley Thunder in the Western Lacrosse Association, one of the two top summer box leagues. Playing with and against many players already in the NLL, he scored 21 goals and 13 assists in 15 WLA games, ranking him third on the Thunder. “I’d be shocked if he doesn’t make the dress list,” Amplo said. “He’s going to push for time on the left side of the field. He’s got a knack for scoring… Every time you needed a big goal, he got it.” “(He) still has a lot to learn about high level lacrosse but his natural skill set has allowed him to be a top player,” IL Indoor writer Ted Jenner said. “He’s got hot hands and his time at Marquette has helped him continue to get in better shape.”

Smistad, one of the original team members who arrived on campus in 2011, played nine games for Marquette in the program’s first season. A three-year captain, he suffered a season ending injury during the 2014 pre-season. The injury led him to miss all of the summer box season this year as well, and could have been a factor in his dropping in the draft. “He wasn’t an active player on gameday, but he was the most impactful person in our program for three years,” Amplo said. Smistad last played indoor lacrosse last summer, when he played 14 games with the Oakville Rock of Major Series Lacrosse. Coming into the draft, Melnyk was ranked 21st by IL Indoor and Smistad ranked 19th among drafteligible players. “At the end of the day, we want really good kids, and that’s the thing that I’m most proud,” Amplo said. “Tyler and Andrew are really good people and work hard to get the most out of themselves and their teammates.” The players are heading to two of the most successful NLL franchises. Melnyk heads to an Edmonton team that finished atop the Western Division with a 16-2 record. Calgary finished in second place in the West with a 12-6 record. Both Calgary natives, Melnyk and Smistad were a part of the western Canadian prospect pool that Amplo tapped into. The NCAA as a whole has seen an increase of Canadians who have indoor, also referred to as box lacrosse, experience crossing the border. Box lacrosse plays in the dimensions of a hockey rink, allowing players to hone their stick skills and their ability to maneuver close to the opposing goalie. The National Lacrosse League, founded as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League in 1986, consists of nine teams across the United States and Canada. The teams play an 18 game season that runs from January to May in addition to the playoffs.

Ryan Theis is halfway into his first season as Marquette’s women’s volleyball head coach, but he already has a significant win under his belt as his Golden Eagles upset the No. 7 Florida Gators in five sets
Friday night in the first match of a weekend triple-header across the Sunshine State. The teams alternated the first four sets, with Marquette (9-3) capturing the first and third. Marquette trailed in the final set 10-9 before earning three straight points. A kill by redshirt sophomore Meghan Niemann sealed the upset bid in Gainesville, Florida. Sophomore Autumn Bailey led the team with 15 kills, while fellow sophomore Lauren Houg had 20 digs. “It was a great team win,”
Thies said in a press release. “Everyone at times contributed and a lot of people scored in different ways. The offense got going in the fifth and that was what we needed.” The victory over Florida was just the beginning of an impressive weekend for Marquette. The team traveled to Orlando, Florida, and almost suffered a disappointing loss to Central Florida before rallying back from a 2-0 deficit to win the match. Marquette won the third and fourth sets by a 25-23 tally and edged the Knights 15-13 in
the fifth set. Bailey led the team again with 19 kills, while freshman Gabby Benda piled up 46 assists. Marquette concluded its weekend by defeating Jacksonville in convincing fashion. The Golden Eagles made quick business of the Dolphins, sweeping them 25-8, 25-12 and 25-15. Bailey led the team once again with 14 kills and sophomore Nele Barber chipped in with 11 kills. The game took only 59 minutes and was an emphatic conclusion to an excellent weekend.
“I’m happy that through the course of this weekend we grew as a team,” Theis said in a press release. “You always want to have won a five-game match before the start of conference play so you have some confidence in it. If you are down and come from behind like 1-0 or 2-1 and come back to win in five, that is even better.” Theis’ squad will open conference play Friday night, when they travel to Rhode Island to take on Providence. Marquette will then head to New York to face St. John’s Saturday.
