Students scramble for off-campus space Prospective renters camp out for units 9 months in advance By Benjamin Lockwood
benjamin.lockwood@marquette.edu
Marquette students camped out in customary fashion last Friday at the Renee Row apartment complex’s courtyard, strewn about in dorm chairs and sleeping bags, eager to sign a lease for the
following school year. For many students, though, this early-semester onslaught of lease signing is cause for much concern. Jared Wheeler, a sophomore in the College of Communication, was one of the campers at Renee Row, but he did not spend the night out in the cold by choice. “I did it to fit in,” Wheeler said, wearing the weathered garb of a man resigned to sleeping outdoors. “All the places were going early – way earlier than I expected – so
I had to (in order) to get the house I wanted.” Renee Row, an apartment complex located at 927 N. Renee St., attracts a certain crowd. Beer cans, solo cups and other conspicuous beverage containers littered the courtyard as campers celebrated their future apartments. But many of these soon-to-be residents have not even had time to tour the units, as they were pressed for time to sign. Daniel Bergen, the assistant director of off-campus housing,
cautioned students to resist the pressure to sign early. “While it’s true that houses and larger occupancy spaces will move more quickly in the neighborhood, there are a variety of options available throughout the year,” Bergen said in an email. “Students should be intentional about their decisions and take their time – they should view the apartments they are renting prior to signing a lease.” Still, for students wishing to sign See Housing, Page 4
Data stolen in restaurant breach Students at risk after intruder compromises campus Jimmy John’s By Rob Gebelhoff

Jimmy John’s announced Wednesday that credit card and debit card data was stolen at about 216 stores worldwide, including the location on Marquette’s campus. The press release stated Jimmy John’s was alerted of a possible breach in July and hired third party forensic experts to assist with the investigation. While the investigation is ongoing, the store said in a news release that the intruder stole log-in credentials from a point-ofsale vendor to access the systems between June 16 and Sept. 5. Cards swiped in breached locations appear to have been affected by the incident. The breach did not include cards entered manually or cards used for online orders. Staff in Marquette’s Information Technology Services said students who purchased food from the store should carefully watch their credit card statements and to change their passwords if they think their information has been stolen. The restaurant chain has since contained the compromise, INDEX

and said it would offer identify protection services to customers affected. “Jimmy John’s has taken steps to prevent this type of event from occurring in the future,
including installing encrypted swipe machines, implementing system enhancements and reviewing its policies and procedures for its third party vendors,” the news release said.

Ed. College not phased by Common Core debate By Julia Pagliarulo
julia.pagliarulo@marquette.edu
Even though Wisconsin’s educational standards seem to be up in the air after Gov. Scott Walker announced that he wants to repeal Common Core, administration in Marquette’s College of Education said they feel prepared. “We are still having our students address their lesson plans to the Common Core standards,” said Joan Whipp, director of teacher education and an associate professor. “As of now, schools don’t think this change is going to happen and we are proceeding as normal.” William Henk, a professor and Dean of the College of Education, said “because schools have been preparing for Common Core and we have been preparing our aspiring teachers to go into Common Core schools, that die is cast and the professors will not see a reason to suddenly shift away from that because, like me, they are anticipating that even if Wisconsin does repeal Common Core and set up their own standards, they will be very similar to the standards of before.” Common Core became a hot-button issue in Wisconsin in the last legislative session when state Republican lawmakers proposed to rewrite the nationally developed standards in March. In response, more than 100 school district officials came to Madison to express support for Common Core, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Common Core education seeks to define what students’ knowledge and skills should be at the end of each grade in See Standards, Page4 SPORTS

News in Brief Federal John Doe ruling overturned
A federal appeals court sent a secret probe into Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign back to Wisconsin courts Wednesday, overturning a decision by a lower federal court that ruled the investigation violated free speech rights. This brings the governor’s election campaign back under the scrutiny of prosecutors from five Wisconsin counties and the Government Accountability Board during a tied race between incumbent Walker and Democratic challenger Mary Burke. U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Randa made the overturned ruling this summer in a 26-page decision, temporarily halting the John Doe investigation into possible illegal coordination between the governor’s campaign and groups like the Wisconsin Club for Growth during the 2012 recall election. John Doe probes allow prosecutors to compel people to give up documents and testimony and can prohibit them from talking publicly about the investigation. This is the second John Doe investigation into Walker’s campaign, following another that started in 2010 and ended with the convictions of six people who served as aids to Walker during his time as Milwaukee County executive. Both investigations were launched by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, a Democrat.
Universities join innovation campus
Four other universities are seeking a presence in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Wauwatosa Innovation Campus, the Business Journal reports. In his inaugural address, University President Michael Lovell revealed plans for Marquette to locate on the Innovation Campus in the Milwaukee suburb. The university would join Concordia University
Wisconsin, which already has a pharmaceutical lab in the Accelerator Building at Innovation Campus. The other three schools have yet to be revealed, the Business Journal reports, but officials at Caroll University confirmed the Waukesha university is one of the schools in the running. The Innovation Center is an 87-acre research park located next to the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center and is meant to be a centerpiece of UWM’s efforts to grow its research.
commemorated the one-year anniversary of the death of the Rev. John Naus, who often led the weekly masses while living at Marquette as a resident Jesuit. The mass received a full house, with several parishioners standing outside the chapel. Several alumni who knew Naus were in attendance. Lexi Dossey, a senior in the College of Business Administration, said she enjoyed reflecting with alumni and seeing how Naus impacted them. “It was so cool to see all the alumni come, (they) had
obviously been affected by Father Naus and I never realized (it,)” Dossey said. Naus often walked around campus and entertained students while dressed up as his alter-ego, “Tumbleweed the clown.” In tribute, some of the parishioners wore clown noses during the mass. “I think that today’s mass was really reflective and (it) really embodied the spirit of making people smile and making people feel important (like) Father Naus would have wanted,” said Adam Hurrle, a senior in the Opus College of Engineering.
City leader offers Bradley demolition David Uihlein, whose late mother Jane Bradley Pettit offered $90 million to build the BMO Harris Bradley Center in 1988, advocated for the demolition of the sports arena to make way for a new sports and entertainment complex, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Uihlein, who had previously remained quiet on the subject, outlined his proposal in a letter to stakeholders involved in the arena project, which also targets the area in which the UWMilwaukee Panther Arena and Milwaukee Theatre are located. “The Bradley Center, amazingly, is obsolete by NBA standards,” Uihlein said in the letter, which the Journal Sentinel acquired. “What reason is there for preserving this place as we contemplate new construction?” The location of the arena, which is home to both the Milwaukee Bucks and the Marquette men’s basketball team, has been the subject of heated debate between city developers as of late. It is likely that the conversation will shift because of Uihlein’s suggestion.

Gesu pastor calls students to offer more to parish Schlegel suggests MU students get involved, help fund Gesu deficit By Teran Powell
teran.powell@marquette.edu
The Church of the Gesu’s new pastor, the Rev. John Schlegel, sat back in his office chair and clasped his hands while classical music played in the background. “I love college kids,” Schlegel said about his 40 years in higher education. “I’m at their wavelength. I love what they do, I love what they can do.” Schlegel is working to move the church in a direction of increased student participation and contribution, whether it involves their talents or financial donations. While giving a homily two weeks ago, Schlegel elaborated on several goals that Gesu Church’s ministry focuses on:
its identity, its aspirations, stewardship and finances. In particular, he focused on stewardship and reaching out to Marquette students in a way that has not been done before. One point of Schlegel’s homily concerned students being responsible parishioners. “It’s your parish,” Schlegel said. “You’ve got skills that we could use.” Some skills he mentioned are volunteering and singing in the choir. In addition, Schlegel noted how one duty of a responsible parishioner is to help the parish financially. “We run a modest deficit, just as every parish does,” Schlegel said. “I know the fragility of college-aged kids,” Schlegel said. “I thought a latte a week is not a lot to give up. You don’t need the caffeine anyway,” he joked, since he does not want to pressure students to help the church financially. Schlegel noted that the church is not “sinking financially,” but that he continues asking for help so the church can stay in
the public eye. In addition, he said students can use their college years as preparation for giving financial donations after graduation. Jennifer Pittman, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she did not see anything wrong with students giving money to help the Gesu deficit. “I think it’s a great idea to sacrifice something for the church to have others grow closer to God,” Pittman said. “Something as simple as giving up Qdoba or coffee once a week can help. It’s not like you need it.” Schlegel’s views on student involvement within the church ultimately furthered his position on the importance of stewardship within the church. “Stewardship is involvement in the church community,” Schlegel said. “We all have been given gifts and every one is as different as we are. Bring your gifts into the church’s life.”

Standards: Despite Wis. political fights, Housing: Units fill quickly education students to use Common Core amid typical rent increase core academic subjects with the hope being that students across the state would be on the same educational track. The standards were created by education reform groups with input from education experts, as well as from Wisconsin, to make academic expectations more rigorous. Although most states adopted the standards back in 2010, the Obama administration offered incentives for more states to take on the reforms. Common Core education has been losing support this year in other states, with Indiana, South Carolina and Oklahoma dropping the standards and other states, like Missouri, moving away from Common Core by starting discussions on how to revise their
education standards. Gov. Scott Walker is attempting to repeal these education standards in the state of Wisconsin and replace them with “standards set by the people in Wisconsin,” Walker said in a statement. Walker is up for reelection this November in a neck-andneck race against Democratic candidate Mary Burke, who has expressed support for Common Core. Despite the possibility of these new standards, Henk said he believes not much will change in the preparation of students to be future teachers. “The idea behind the Common Core is to set the bar high for academic achievement and that will always be the
goal behind the preparation of teachers,” Henk said. “Our hope is that our aspiring teachers are well equipped to enrich and deepen students’ learning, and that is always with an eye on onward and upward.” Walker’s bill will come to Legislature in January, when it will be determined whether Common Core will be upheld or eradicated in Wisconsin. “I am very sure schooling is moving in the direction to have higher academic standards and be more specific in higher level thinking demands,” Whipp said. “We have been preparing our prospective teachers to meet these rising standards. I don’t think there is a lot going to happen that would change this.”

for “larger occupancy spaces,” the pickings are slim, and are only getting slimmer. Jeffrey Rueth, a junior in the College of Business Administration, is a current resident at Renee Row, but he is looking for something bigger for next year. “I like (Renee Row,) I haven’t had any problems with it,” Rueth said, “but I wanted a house for next year.” After searching frantically earlier in the month, he eventually decided on a place near 20th and Wells. “The house is fine, but it’s not in the best location,” Rueth said. “I just can’t believe we’re late signing for a house when we’re signing nine months early.” Not only are houses getting signed remarkably early, but there is concern that prices are increasing as well. “Recent increases in property taxes and rising costs of utilities
may be two of the primary contributing elements to the rise of rent rates,” Bergen said. “However, the market remains competitive with a range of prices that include a spectrum of amenities from a basic apartment to fully-furnished units with flat screens and granite counter-tops.” Although there may be a marginal increase in prices (for instance, a three bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom apartment at the 2040’s will increase by $5 next year), Bergen wants students to remain calm and consider their options. The Office of Residence Life is hosting three off-campus leasing information sessions on Family Weekend, Saturday, Oct. 4. Bergen said there will be tours of the University Apartments and a Neighborhood Open House from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Drama celebrates 40 years of Helfaer productions By Claire Nowak
claire.nowak@marquette.edu
“Simple” is not an adjective often associated with theater productions. For Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town,” however, simplicity encourages audiences to reconsider the importance of everyday life. Marquette Theatre kicks off its 2014-2015 season with Wilder’s 1938 drama. Set in the early 20th century, the play follows George Gibbs (Ben Braun) and Emily Webb (Liz Formella) in their small community of Grover’s Corners, N.H. Some critiqued Wilder’s strong focus on monotonous, daily life with minimal action when it debuted 76 years ago in New York. Now, it is regarded as a groundbreaking work in American theatre that puts life into perspective. “We, as humans, don’t really
appreciate the gift of life that we have while we live it, and we probably should,” director Debra Krajec said. “My hope is that people leave the theater thinking about (that gift), thinking about, ‘Oh gosh, maybe I should call my mom,’ or ‘Maybe I should turn off my computer screen and go outside and enjoy the beautiful day.’ Take advantage of that kind of stuff.” Marquette first produced “Our Town” in the 1989-1990 season; now, it starts a season commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre. Krajec, who joined Marquette’s theatre department in 1984, said this season’s productions explore a theme of “coming home” specifically for the celebration. In addition to its connection with the theme, the play was chosen as this season’s opener because of its relevance to college students living in a technology-dominated age. “Every time I cross campus, I see most people are on their phones or listening to an iPod, not looking at each other even,” Krajec said. “And I know I’m

guilty of it, like everyone else. I’m super wired, but this play has made me really stop and realize … you never know what can happen. Somebody can die in a second, and your life will be forever changed.” In addition to its subject matter, “Our Town” differs from other productions of its era by occasionally breaking the fourth wall and jumping around in time. The simple set design calls for few props, so any action must be made clear through the actors’ body language and the audience’s imagination. Dan Callahan, a senior in the College of Communication, pantomimes most of his props as the town doctor and George’s father, Dr. Gibbs.

“Our Town’s” cast of 24 Marquette actors tackles love, death and emotional turmoil in the three-act production.
“If I have a doctor bag, I have to visualize it in my head, hold it up, and make the audience see what I’m holding without actually holding anything,” Callahan said. “So you have to remember the weight of the doctor bag, what does it look like, and knowing that will show the audience what you’re seeing.” Formella, a junior in the College of Communication, believes the unembellished stage better allows the audience to concentrate on the important aspects of the show. “The script is so well-written that you don’t need props and things,” Formella said. “I think it’ll make the audience really concentrate on what we’re saying and what the play is trying to communicate rather than being distracted by elaborate backdrops or the crazy costumes.” “There’s no special effects,” Krajec said. “There’s no trappings of any kind. It’s just the performers in the space, and I think there’s something really amazing about watching young actors deal with material like this that seems deceptively simple, but has so much impact to it.” The screenplay also calls the actors to channel a wide range of emotions. In one particular scene, George breaks down and convulses in tears at the grave of a loved one, a feat that takes physical and emotional preparation from Braun. “I try to think as myself, Ben Braun, ‘What have I gone through in my life that would make me feel this way?’” Braun said. “So before my scene comes, I’ll prep myself. I’ll listen to sad music. I’ll read letters
from past loved ones who get me in that zone, and when I go out, I’m ready to just break down and cry.” To avoid letting the heavy material affect them too greatly, the actors often joke with each other and, in the process, grow closer as a cast and as friends. “We’ll tease each other,” Braun said, “But at the end of the day, we’ve got each other’s backs. It’s kind of rare to meet a group of people that will be there for you even though it’s in a professional setting.” Since the show celebrates the theater’s 40th anniversary, the cast expects numerous Marquette theatre alumni and President Lovell to be in attendance. For Braun, the significance of the production does not affect his preparation. “If anything, I’m more excited that we get to bring back all these people that used to bring life to our theater,” Braun said, “and just to see if we can have them talk to us and say what (it’s) like in the real world now.” While Formella shares a similar excitement, she is also nervous to play Emily, her first lead role in a Marquette Theatre mainstage production. “I hold everyone’s high expectations, so hopefully, everyone likes it,” Formella said. Though the play has been reproduced and adapted numerous times since its debut, Krajec said its inspirational call to live in the moment keeps it showing on stages across the country. “It’s lasted for a reason,” Krajec said. “Like Shakespeare, it has universal messages in it that transcend time periods.”

Peculiar Netflix Picks: “Bunraku” By Jack Taylor
jack.taylor@marquette.edu
I have always wondered what happens when you mix a Japanese action film with a Western. That is “Bunraku” in a nutshell. The movie’s peculiar style of storytelling supplies the typical hero adventure of good versus evil, but it is told with a slight twist that distinguishes it from other movies. “Bunraku” takes place in a fictional city heavily influenced by Japanese cartoon strips. The town is built through a mix of live-action sets and origami pop-ups. Immediately, the story introduces a woodcutter named Nicola (Ron Perlman), the most powerful man in the city who heads the city’s top-notch crime syndicate. Nicola’s gang consists of an
army of soldiers called “redsuits,” appropriately named for their, well, red suits. Above the red-suits are ten killers. Similar to SPECTRE in the James Bond films, each killer is assigned a number. “Killer #10” is the least important and “Killer #1” is Nicola himself. A lone Westerner (Josh Hartnett) comes strolling into the local bar “looking for a game of cards” to win some money. He is known throughout the city as “the Drifter.” The barman (Woody Harrelson) discovers the Drifter is after Nicola for unknown, personal reasons. Sent by his father, samurai soldier Yoshi (Gackt) comes to the city in search of a stolen sacred medallion. After discovering that the medallion resides in Nicola’s possession, he sets his eyes on Nicola as well.
Yoshi and the Drifter join forces to take down Nicola’s gang. The duo fights off red-suits and “killers” in their quest to take down Nicola himself and end the city’s crime for good. The cast skillfully makes the most out of a mediocre script. There is not much intellectual value to “Bunraku,” but highlyesteemed actors like Harrelson and Perlman make the most of the roles they are given, no matter how peculiar they may be. The story is told in an unusual way that utilizes origami comic strips mixed in with live-action cinematography from Juan Ruiz Anchia. Anchia’s lighting brings the movie to life with its vibrant colors and fast-paced movement, complementing the fight scenes well. After a rather impressive origami opening title sequence
comes the first fight scene, which occurs between red-suits and a mob of local contesters. Shortly after that wraps up, a new skirmish begins in a different setting with different characters. Once that one comes to an end – surprise! Another fight scene breaks out. This formula entertained me for the first hour of the film, but it got old rather quickly. The second half of the movie felt like a rehash of the first. By that point, I was able to correctly guess who would win the fight and how they would win based on the events from the first act. Director Guy Moshe tells the story in a helter-skelter manner, jumping back-and-forth between the different characters and their subplots. However, the overall plot is rather dull and has already been told in several other films.

The evil baddie comes to take over the town, and it is up to the good guys to stop him. “Bunraku” mixes all kinds of genres into one story, which makes it stand out from any other action film. In fact, it is hard to classify it solely as an action film. There is a taste of Western, martial arts and just about every other genre in “Bunraku.” That variety is hard to find in current cinema. Watching “Bunraku” certainly is not the worst way to kill two hours because some viewers may find it awesome to see a samurai and cowboy fighting hand-inhand. Unfortunately, the movie’s predictability and stale plot make it just an average viewing experience overall for the audience.

Clarity on DPS role key to MU granting police powers

Police gathered near Dontre Hamilton-related protests on State Street Wednesday evening.
Our view: As the conversation about DPS police powers starts back up, Marquette needs to consider how service and safety can be prioritized on and near campus. Police activity is under tremendous social scrutiny in recent months following explosive events in Ferguson, Mo., Milwaukee and across the country. In April, a Milwaukee police officer shot Dontre Hamilton 15 times after the 31-year-old grabbed the police officer’s baton in an unnecessary skirmish. Ensuing public outcry prompted Milwaukee residents to sign an online petition to require police officers to wear body cameras. This effort reflects a greater desire to minimize the incidence of police brutality and ensure the safety of citizens. That desire from Marquette led to Gov. Scott Walker signing a bill into law allowing the university the option of granting the Department of Public Security police powers in April, the same month of Hamilton’s shooting. This last week, the issue resurfaced on campus; student demonstrations in the Alumni Memorial Union chanted Hamilton’s name in protest of the shooting back, proving police treatment is clearly a current poignant issue in Milwaukee and at Marquette. More protests ensued Wednesday night near Marquette’s campus. As the most segregated city in the U.S. with extremely high crime rates, Milwaukee requires efficient and effective police officers. If DPS was to gain police powers, it could mean less strain on the Milwaukee Police Department to address crime in the neighborhoods surrounding campus. More resources and manpower would logically equate to the better management and minimization of crime. But what police powers means for DPS remains rather unclear. While the goal of
service and protection would not change for DPS, its functions and obligations outside of Marquette’s campus might. Paul Mascari, director and chief of DPS, said in an email “the mission of Public Safety will not change if the decision is made to become a police department.” In theory, the only difference would be that “all public safety officers would have to meet the state-mandated requirements for certification as a law enforcement officer.” That degree of training will take some time to achieve, and Marquette has yet to decide if DPS will become an official police force. Marquette Student Government will host an open forum on the issue Oct. 27, and that dialogue is crucial to determine the future of public safety on campus and the greater Milwaukee area. Students, faculty and alumni should voice their opinions on the role and scope of DPS at Marquette and the surrounding community. This input would help solidify DPS’s overall mission moving forward, and innovative ideas could alter the new structure of a safety department with police powers. Before this decision, every member of the Marquette community needs to know the legal implications of a police force on campus. Many are unable to discern between the capabilities and authority a DPS officer has versus that of a police officer, and this difference affects the legality of officials’ actions on campus as well as student behavior. Maintaining the overarching goal of service and safety is the laudable aim of DPS, and any and all steps that advance that goal should be taken. But Marquette should not choose to grant DPS police powers before it first understands the practical implications of such an action, and as Hamilton’s death proves, safety and service are not an absolute with police activity.
Elena Fransen Photo IDs always held a strange sense of purpose for me. From my first driver’s license to my first college ID, they all represent some privilege I had been granted-the ability to legally drive a motor vehicle or the opportunity to attend Marquette. They give me a sense of accomplishment and remind me of my younger self and over eager smiles. These IDs serve their designated purposes yet it appears they will have to do more during the Wisconsin election this year with the appealed Voter ID law. The law requires all voters to prove their identity with a state-issued ID and will be in effect during upcoming Nov. 4 elections, which includes the heated match-up of incumbent Gov. Scott Walker, who signed the law, and candidate Mary Burke. While the law intends to prevent voting fraud, it is problematic in its recent application. Put into effect less than two months before the elections, the law has an even greater impact on Wisconsin and residents than was originally assumed. It forces potential voters without the required ID to act fast, which can be difficult when the state’s plan to issue them IDs is not an all-out effort and is trying to pull from a base of limited resources. There is a distinct possibility that not everyone will be prepared for the November elections with this requirement. For many Wisconsinites, the Voter ID law is of little consequence, but for elderly and impoverished populations, this would lead to confusion and the inability to cast a viable ballot. These groups may not have access to information about the law or the ability to get state identification because of personal restrictions. An elderly person may not have a valid ID while some people in poverty may not have the necessary proof to get a state ID. Due to the recency of the law’s implementation, there are not campaigns to distribute
details of its requirements and any attempt now will prove inadequate in reaching every possible voter. There are some notably positive attempts to accommodate disadvantaged populations, with free state-issued IDs from the Department of Motor Vehicles for the purpose of voting. Even Marquette is taking action to provide all students with a new ID which meets the requirement. Unfortunately, free IDs are not leading to the anticipated spike in ID requests and presents another problem for Wisconsin’s resources: the Voter ID law puts a great strain on state spending, incurring much greater costs than benefits. Additional poll workers and updated training must be distributed for the law to be implemented correctly and some 11,000 absentee ballots, originally mailed before the law won its appeal, must be resent to include literature on the law and a request for a photo-copied version of a state ID, something not everyone is able to provide. Many think the law should be thrown out before the elections, but with the burden it has already placed on Wisconsin, that would be pointless and cause more confusion for voters. There is no stopping its implementation now, but more work should be done to make information about the ID requirement available to those who may not be aware of the law. Someone might respond that these people should not be voting anyways, but informing the populace on this new barrier is a responsibility Wisconsin is taking on by putting this law into action. The appeals panel ruled this law constitutional but because it disadvantages some people and obstructs particular populations’ right to vote with seemingly gratuitous requirements, this does not appear to be so. If this law is to be effective, the state needs to bear the financials straits and take action to ensure its citizens are aware and ready for the new law in practice. It is on Wisconsin to help this law privileges all individuals through the dissemination of necessary information so disadvantaged peoples are not left out due to errors in communication.

Arena talk reveals issue of fair distribution of public funds
Sarah Patel As Marquette students, most of us are well-acquainted with the BMO Harris Bradley Center, which is not only home to the men’s basketball team, but also the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks’ lease expires Sept. 30, 2017 and as a result of this and the team’s recent sale, the Bucks seek a new arena to be built for them to remain in Milwaukee. While the new owners and other prominent businessmen in Milwaukee invested in the project, public funding will also be used to build the $300,000,000 project. Private investors are still being found, yet the predicted amount of public funding being used build this arena is huge. The justification for the new arena is that it will eventually boost the city’s economy and bring in more money once it is up and running. The loss of the Bucks to another city is also a fear of many in support of the project. If the Bucks do not secure an arena site soon, the NBA can buy them back and move them to one of several cities interested in the team, such as Las Vegas or Seattle. My question, and the question of others, is why they will not simply resign their lease with the Bradley Center. The answer is simple in as the team wants a better, more state-of-the-art playing space, and those invested in the team and new arena, are willing to do whatever it takes to attain this and keep the Bucks in Milwaukee. Many individuals and Milwaukee’s surrounding counties are opposed to the new arena being built with public funding. While the current plan is that only Milwaukee county tax money will go toward the building of the new arena, individuals from outside counties still

spend money in the city and would not like their tax to go toward a cause they do not support. A Milwaukee-based organization is taking a different stance on the matter. Common Ground does not oppose the building of the arena as long as its own Fair Play Campaign receives $150,000,000 to $250,000,000 of public funding. The Fair Play Campaign goal is to use this funding to create safe and up-to-date playing facilities for the 268 facilities that service the 290 schools. The message is simple: if the Bucks get public money for a new place to play, why shouldn’t Milwaukee youth? If Common Ground is not allotted this funding, it will oppose the building of
the new Bucks arena along with so many others. While the best scenario would be for individuals to not be taxed in order to finance the new Bucks arena, I believe Common Ground makes a fair claim that if public funding is going to go toward a new arena, then some should go toward fixing the fields and gyms for students in Milwaukee. Whether these gyms are fixed up may not seem to directly affect us, but it is still an issue within the Marquette community. This also puts the playing space of the men’s basketball team up in the air with the Bucks trying to move. The future of the Bradley Center use is unsure, though some say it will remain an entertainment facility for concerts and other events.
Whatever view you take, taxes will increase for the purpose of building a new Bucks arena and that should catch the attention of taxpayers in Milwaukee. Turning this into a positive, if Common Ground receives funding as well, a considerable number of Milwaukee residents will surely benefit, while the Bucks arena’s widespread benefits are up for debate. While supporting the Fair Play Campaign implies support for the arena, it is about the greater good, and the greater good is to support Milwaukee youth through an efficient use of tax dollars.

MU battles with Bluejays

Golden Eagles kick off Big East schedule versus rival Creighton By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team looks to have its first winning streak of the season when it hosts Creighton Thursday night for the Big East season opener and the second half of a four-game home stand. The Golden Eagles (4-5-1) went 2-0 last weekend in their first back-to-back victories, defeating then-No. 16 Kansas in a 1-0 shutout and following with a 2-1 win against Louisiana State. The weekend gave Marquette a statement win, while also giving the team momentum heading into Big East play. Coach Markus Roeders said the weekend was big for getting
the team ready for Big East play. “Overall, it was a great weekend,” Roeders said. “Huge in regards to what we experienced in the last two games ... I think it really set the tone going forward now.” Marquette’s first opponent is a doozy, as the Golden Eagles welcome the Creighton Bluejays for their first conference home game. The Bluejays are trying to build another winning streak, as their seven-game winning streak was snapped by a 2-0 loss to the Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos Sept. 19. Creighton started to rebuild a second winning streak with a 2-1 2OT victory against Nebraska-Omaha. Much like Kansas, the Bluejays have a prolific offense. Creighton’s biggest margin of victory came in a 6-0 smacking of New Mexico State Sept. 5. Leading the team in points is junior Alyssa Jara, who notched 12 in just nine games and is tied for sixth in the Big East. Trailing her are sophomore Lauren
Sullivan and junior Kirstyn Corder with 11 points, tied for eighth in the Big East. As a team, Creighton leads the Big East in scoring, averaging three goals per game. For the Golden Eagles, the key will be to continue to play solid defense, which was a plus for the team during the past two games. Against Kansas, the backline was able to withstand severe pressure from the Jayhawks, and were able to hold them off the scoreboard. Had the team not had a mental lapse against LSU, the Golden Eagles could have easily had two shutouts. Against the explosive Bluejay offense, the defense will be tested again. Roeders said the team faced tough opposition defensively before. “The way we’ve been defending has been really good,” Roeders said. “We’ve played a lot of good players and we have a lot of good players.” Offensively, the Golden Eagles are getting better and look
to be healthier. Sophomore Darian Powell started Friday night’s game and played more significant minutes against LSU after an injury to freshman Ashley Handwork. Should Handwork be able to go against the Bluejays, she could provide extra security on the scoring front. Freshman Eli Beard is showing that she can score from way outside the box, and leading scorer and junior defender Jacie Jermier will continue to be the free kick specialist for the Golden Eagles. While Marquette did not score many goals in non-conference play, the offense is starting to heat up right as Big East play starts. Roeders said while having many goal-scorers is nice, the team needs to get more out of its scoring chances. “I think our goal scoring could still be a little more efficient,” Roeders said. “We’re kind of doing it by committee right now ... I think anybody can probably score, it’s just a matter of putting
the ball in the net.” The Golden Eagles will have a tough time beating Bluejay keeper Danielle Rice, as she has Creighton near the top of defensive stats in the Big East. Creighton averages one goal against per game and ranks second in saves made in the Big East. While the Golden Eagles should not have major difficulty getting shots on net, the problem will be beating Rice as the Bluejays’ last line of defense. Marquette had its best weekend of the season last weekend. Welcoming Creighton will be a tough start to the Big East season, but will set the tone for the rest of conference play. “Our goal always has to be the same,” Roeders said. “We want to compete for the Big East championship during the regular season, and then when you get to the conference tournament time, you want to put yourself in the best position to be able to win it ... this team now has the opportunity to do it.”
Men’s soccer welcomes Providence to Valley Fields 2 teams clash in rematch of 2013 Big East Championship By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette kicks off its Big East slate Saturday afternoon the same way it ended last year’s, as it once again goes to battle with the Providence Friars. Last season, the Golden Eagles defeated Providence at PPL Park in the Big East championship, claiming the first title in program history. The conference opener between these two teams could be a preview of another meeting
on the same stage. Marquette (5-2-0) is riding an impressive hot streak going into conference play. The Golden Eagles have not allowed a goal in five straight matches and have seen scoring from numerous players. Both ends showed their versatility in non-conference play. The back line stood strong despite injury and illness. The forwards have scored by committee, including contributions from many of the squad’s underclassmen. Marquette will have a formidable opponent in Providence, a squad that is not having issues scoring this season. The Friars are averaging more than two goals a game, including a 5-0 offensive clinic against Rhode Island in their home opener.
Coach Louis Bennett believes this match will be the biggest test thus far for Marquette’s defensive unit. “Providence is a very good team,” Bennett said. “They’re feisty; they’ve got a street edge to them. They’re explosive and they’ve done really well.” The Friars are paced in scoring by redshirt senior Markus Naglestad and sophomore Mac Steeves. Naglestad, a Norway native, is taking a much larger offensive role this season. His five goals are already three above last year’s career best, which he totaled in 21 games. Steeves, who has four goals and one assist, has already matched his point total from his freshman year. Providence is a part of a logjam of Big East programs earning
national recognition. Marquette, currently ranked 13th in the NSCAA coaches’ poll, is looking up at two conference foes, as No. 12 Creighton and No. 11 Georgetown sit right above them. Providence is sitting just outside the rankings, receiving four votes this week. “When you look at the Big East … all the teams that may have had a rough start have now put their season back together,” Bennett said. “Now the Big East is beginning to roll, so now we’re going to beat each other up.” As exemplified by its high ranking, Marquette is one of the favorites to win the conference out of the gate. It should make for some highly competitive matches, as other squads look to earn a quality win against
the Golden Eagles. “Whether we’ve got a target (on our backs) or whether we haven’t got a target is of no consequence to us,” Bennett said. “I would feel disrespected if any team came here, whether we were 180th in the country or 8th in the county, if they didn’t come here to win and try and play their best.” If Marquette wins a second straight Big East title, it would be the first time a team has done so since Connecticut in 2004-05. With the talent in this conference, the team knows it will not be an easy feat. The road back to PPL Field and the Big East tournament begins Saturday for Marquette at 7:05 p.m. at Valley Fields.

Jurgensen continues to change MU club hockey Former captain looks to build off of success from playing career By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
Will Jurgensen was in Omaha, Neb., working for Hockey Stick Putters, Inc. While he liked his job, he felt like he was called to be doing something else. After attending a Marquette Hockey alumni event, he knew he wanted to be the new head coach of the club hockey team. Seven months later, he was behind the bench for Marquette, coaching his first game against Iowa. Jurgensen, who grew up in Omaha, Neb., began his love for hockey at three years old after he joined a team with his father’s friend’s son. Jurgensen would take daily trips with his father to the rink to shoot the puck around, and with his father’s commitment to his son’s passion, Jurgensen began to play better on the rink and bring his father into the sport. “He can talk hockey with anyone today because he’s seen so much hockey, but before I started playing he knew nothing,” Jurgensen said. “It’s kind of been a funny transition together.” After playing through high
school and traveling teams, Jurgensen knew he wanted to play competitive hockey in college. He credits two stories for his choosing Marquette. The first was a college trip his sister took when he was in seventh grade. Up to that point, he attended Jesuit elementary schools and was set to attend a Jesuit high school in Omaha. Conscious of his preference for attending Jesuit schools, she had an unexplained feeling he would eventually end up at Marquette. The vision was cemented when Jurgensen took a weekend trip to Wisconsin his senior year of high school. Two of his three college preferences were Wisconsin-Madison and Marquette, as he could play hockey at both. He visited Madison on a Friday night and Marquette the following night, watching the Marquette-Wisconsin men’s basketball game during the 2008-09 season. “I came into that atmosphere at the Bradley Center and it was unbelievable,” Jurgensen said. Marquette stormed back in the second half, hitting clutch shots down the stretch, and winning 61-58 in front of a packed house. After the game, he knew once he received his letter, he was going to Marquette. When he started his freshman season at Marquette, Jurgensen realized there was a culture change that needed to happen for the underachieving program. The
problem was that club hockey year,” he said. “We were out of was an afterthought for some, our league in program develan organization that members opment, but we weren’t out of just did not put two feet into. skill-set.” In his sophomore year, he The transition of taking a mewas voted captain and with the diocre team and turning it into a help of five other players in national power and professionhis class, decided to restruc- al organization was the legacy ture the program.

Schwichenberg explaining he got the job. In an agreement with his boss, Jurgensen still works for Hockey Stick Putters from his home in Milwaukee so that he is able to coach the team. His first season behind the boards is building off the success of his playing days. The team is 3-1 through his first four games as head coach. As for program interest, the organization itself has received major interest from players who want to commit to Marquette Hockey, with potential members sending recruitment emails, recruitment stats and coaches even calling. The whirlwind of success and experiences gave Jurgensen an appreciation and new perspective on the game. “It’s a completely different game behind the bench as a coach,” he said. “I’m still trying to adapt to that aspect of not just watching individual guys, but watching the team as a whole, quickly forgetting about the good things you do and trying to spend more time remembering the bad things you did to take into next week’s practice.” “As a player, you just show up but as a coach, you have to prepare and plan for the next game,” Jurgensen said. “I would like to be at Marquette as long as I can continue to make the program better.”

Big East Notebook: 2014 Men’s Soccer Preview By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
The Bluejays most impressive win was a 2-0 victory against No. 19 Stanford in their season opener. Sophomore Fabian Herbers, member of the 2013 Big East all-rookie team, leads the team in points with 10. Junior Timo Pitter, who has lead the team in points the past two seasons, is right behind him. Marquette heads to Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29 as a part of a two-game road trip.
Dame and Indiana to ties. The Hoyas most impressive outcome in non-conference play was a tie as well in a 1-1 tie against No. 6 California-Irvine. Their one loss was a bit of a surprise, as they fell 2-1 to the lowly Virginia Commonwealth Rams. Marquette faces Georgetown on the road Oct.4.
St. John’s Red Storm 2-2-3
Butler Bulldogs 4-2-3 Butler has had difficulties stringing together any sort of win streak so far this season, largely because it faced some generally solid programs. The Bulldogs played No. 17 Indiana to a 0-0 draw. The Indiana match was the season debut for senior goaltender Andy Holte, who earned the Big East Goalkeeper of the Week award for his efforts. He’s started every game for the Bulldogs since. Butler sneaked into the Big East tournament at No. 6 last year, allowing the Bulldogs to upset Xavier before falling in the second round to Marquette. The Bulldogs will get a chance to earn revenge against Marquette Oct. 15.
DePaul Blue Demons 3-4-1 DePaul has alternated wins and losses/ties for most of nonconference play, including a season opening loss to Wisconsin-Milwaukee and its recent loss to crosstown rival Northwestern. DePaul has seen scoring from multiple sources, as eight different players have made it on the scorecard so far this season. The Blue Devils will see a familiar face when they head up to Milwaukee Nov. 7, as Marquette’s leading scorer David Selvaggi spent two years at DePaul before transferring. The match will be the last of Marquette’s regular season.
Saturday in its Big East opener at Valley Fields.
No. 13 Marquette Golden Eagles 5-2-0 The Golden Eagles have rattled off five straight shutout victories after losing their first two matches. Marquette has looked strong on both offense and defense. Their backline has been rewarded for their part in the shutouts, as redshirt junior Axel Sjoberg and redshirt sophomore John Pothast have combined to win the last three Big East Defender of the Week honors for Marquette. Marquette kicks off their Big East slate Saturday against Providence. The two sides faced off in last year’s Big East Championship.
After a disastrous start to their 2014 campaign, the Red Storm slowly picked up positive results the last week. Initially losing or tying its first four matches, St. John’s earned its first victory versus Harvard Sept. 13, and it seemed to get the team back on track. They tied Wisconsin-Madison six days later, and most recently picked up a 3-1 victory against Connecticut Tuesday. St. John’s seems to be getting things together at the perfect time, as it opens Big East play Saturday against Xavier. St. John’s goes to battle with Marquette Oct. 11.
Seton Hall Pirates 2-2-2 No. 12 Creighton Bluejays 5-1-1 Creighton was hot out of the gate this season, winning its first six games. The win streak helped the Bluejays move up all the way to No. 3 in the country last week, but a 1-0 overtime loss to No. 10 St. Louis this week pushed them down in the rankings. The team held the top position in the NSCAA Great Lakes Region the past two weeks, but were leapfrogged by Marquette and Georgetown this week.
Providence Friars 5-2-0 No. 11 Georgetown Hoyas 4-1-3 The regular season champion last season, Georgetown has continued its previous year’s success into 2014. The Hoyas’ season started off in Bloomington, Ind., at the Adidas/IU Credit Unit Classic. They enjoyed slightly more success than the Golden Eagles, playing Notre

Providence has gotten off to a very solid start to the season, leading to the Friars earning votes in this week’s NSCAA coaches’ poll. Their best offensive showing came against Rhode Island, when they scored five goals on 28 shots. The Friars’ most recent match was another high scoring outing, as they defeated Northeastern 3-1. The Friars face Marquette this
The Pirates record isn’t stellar, but it isn’t all bad news for Seton Hall. Their two losses were No. 23 Delaware and a 5-4 goalfest with Princeton. One of the Pirates’ victories also came against Monmouth, who is receiving votes in this week’s coaches’ poll. One of the ties came to No. 20 George Mason. Seton Hall has shown it can stick around with top teams and could make some noise in Big East play. Like last season, Marquette plays Seton Hall in the second to last regular season game of the year. The sides match up Nov. 1.

Xavier Musketeers 5-3-0 Xavier has one of the best records in the conference in pre-season play, but has some tough losses. Its match with Wisconsin-Madison went poorly for the Musketeers, losing 4-0. Xavier was shutout by Libscomb, whose 6-1-0 record is a bit deceiving due to the quality of opponents they’ve faced. However, Xavier’s record is rather similar to the record at this point last season. At 5-3-0, they are certainly not fretting about their results yet. Marquette will welcome Xavier to Valley Fields Oct. 25 The Golden Eagles narrowly edged out Xavier 1-0 in last year’s meeting.
Villanova Wildcats 3-3-1 The Wildcats ran into scoring issues early in their season. Villanova was shut out in its first three matches, losing 1-0 on all three outings. The Wildcats have managed to work their way back to .500, but the scoring issues still haven’t dissipated. They’ve consistently scored one goal in all but one match. The Wildcats play the Golden Eagles Oct. 18th at Valley Fields. Villanova’s offensive woes could do them in against one of the top defensive units in the conference.
