First Lady campaigns for Burke Obama appears in MKE to support Wis. governor candidate By McKenna Oxenden

Last Wednesday, a man not affiliated with Marquette — but well-known as a common trespasser by the Department of Public Safety — walked into Schroeder Complex and was almost immediately spotted by officers who turned him away with a warning. But that didn’t keep him from going off campus and walking into a student’s unlocked apartment on the 1300 block of W. Kilbourn Ave. The student who lived in the apartment called DPS, and they located the suspect. “We called MPD at that point and they did cite the suspect,” said Russell Shaw, the associate director and captain for DPS. “We have not seen or heard from the suspect since.” Shaw said giving suspects a warning is typically the response to trespassing cases before the Milwaukee Police Department is called to issue a citation, but he stressed that there is nothing to be alarmed about, as incidents of trespassing can be very sporadic. “Generally speaking, anyone who doesn’t belong to Marquette tends to point themselves out by their suspicious activity and how they are acting inside of the building,” he said, emphasizing that students should to be aware of their surroundings. “In a lot of cases what happens is people are in areas on campus that they shouldn’t be and we need to check those out.” If students or faculty are not feeling comfortable about someone they see on or off campus, it is best to call DPS, but Shaw advised that the Marquette community should be aware of the campus’s diversity when noticing different people they may not see all the time.

OPINIONS
A buzzing crowd filled the Wisconsin Center for the chance to hear First Lady Michelle Obama speak during a visit to support Democratic governor candidate Mary Burke Monday. “Why wouldn’t I be here? Why wouldn’t I come here for this amazing woman?” Obama said during her address. Obama’s visit comes at the same time that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie arrived in Wisconsin to help campaign for incumbent Gov. Scott Walker. The two GOP leaders visited businesses in Hudson, Wis., Monday afternoon, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Both visits from Obama and Christie underscore a neck-andneck race between the Wisconsin governor candidates, which is heating up for the final month before the election in November. The latest Marquette Law Poll released Sept. 17. shows both candidates statistically tied at 46 percent of registered voters. U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) was also present at the Milwaukee event, where she spoke about being on “a battlefield of history to determine who’s going to write history.” Moore said she wants that history to have voting, education, the environment and her personal rights “protected.” After much anticipation, Mary Burke stepped on stage and was received by a roaring crowd. “It doesn’t matter where the ideas come from, if they are Democratic or Republican, just as long as we get results,” Burke said. Obama said her support for Burke doesn’t just come from them both being members of the Democratic party, but because Burke puts children first and understands how to create jobs and get the people trained for them. “That’s the kind of leadership you deserve, which is why we need to support (Burke),” Obama said.

News in Brief MU fights sexual assault on campus Following the completed fourth year of freshman sexual assault prevention training, the university will continue providing sexual violence prevention and education events this fall, a university news brief announced Monday. Posters of teal ribbons, which symbolize sexual assault awareness, are available in the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, the university news brief said. Students are encouraged to display the posters facing outward on their campus windows starting Monday. In addition, O’Donnell Hall is in the midst of its 72-hour Teeter-Totter-a-Thon, which ends Oct. 1. The university news brief said the event will raise “awareness and money to support services for victims of sexual violence.” Keith Edwards, a sexual assault prevention and social justice speaker, will be on campus Oct. 7. Corey Lansing, the assistant dean for student involvement, said Triangle Fraternity, 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. The title of Edwards’ presentation is “It affects us all…Marquette coming together to end rape.”
MKE improvements priced at $445M
The Cultural and Entertainment Capital Needs Task Force announced Monday that it would cost
$34 million per year over a 20 year period for maintenance and improvements on four major Milwaukee cultural institutions and public funding for the new arena. Out of the $34 million per year, $15 million would go towards the arena. The remaining $19 million would go towards the Milwaukee County Zoo, Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee Art Museum and Marcus Center for Performing Arts, $7.9 million of which will go towards backlogs in deferred maintenance. The total estimated investment is $445 million. The cost of operation to run all four cultural institutions bring the annual total up to $44.9 million per year and $675 million over 20 years. Funding options for the research included a consumption tax, a tax incremental financing district, a ticket tax on all paid attendees to major institutions, and a sales tax. A local income tax was not considered.

Obama: Wis. campaigns heat up with special guests In addition, Obama drew comparisons between Burke and President Barack Obama, who visited Milwaukee in August for Labor Day. The first lady noted that when the president first took office in 2009, the United States economy was in shambles, pulling a comparison and claiming that today’s Wisconsin economy
is in worse off conditions. Obama also spoke about how difficult it was for her husband to become the first black president, and that Burke would be the first female Wisconsin governor if elected. “If you are willing to work for (the American dream), they should have every opportunity
to fulfill their dreams,” Obama said about Wisconsin children. “That hard work, education and the safety of our future is what we strive for and what this election is all about.” Both Burke and Obama reiterated how “a candidate is only as good as the people who are standing there with them.”
DPS Reports Sept. 24 At 10:40 p.m., DPS observed a person not affiliated with Marquette slumped over in the driver’s seat in a parked vehicle in the 2100 block of W. Kilbourn Ave. MPD was contacted. Upon investigation, the subject admitted to using a controlled substance and was in possession of drug paraphernalia. MPD took the subject into custody. Sept. 25 At 1:51 p.m., a person not affiliated with Marquette trespassed outside McCormick Hall and will be cited by MPD.
Sept. 26 At 10:12 p.m., unknown person(s) vandalized university property in McCormick Hall causing an estimated $50 in damage. Sept. 27 At 9:24 p.m., an employee reported that an unidentified subject grabbed the employee’s purse in an attempt to remove it as the employee was walking in the 800 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. The subject was not able to remove the property and fled the scene. MPD was contacted.
Sept. 28 A person not affiliated with Marquette reported that between 12:01 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., unknown person(s) smashed a window of his secured, unattended vehicle in a parking lot in the 2000 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. and removed property estimated at $580. Estimated damage to the vehicle is $150. MPD was contacted. At 12:49 a.m., an underage student consumed alcohol and acted in a disorderly manner in the 1700 block of W. Kilbourn Ave. The student was
physically detained by a Milwaukee County Sheriff and DPS and was taken into custody by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office. At 11:31 a.m., a student reported that she dropped her bus pass on the ground in the 1200 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. and a person not affiliated with Marquette picked up the pass and refused to give it back. DPS arrived on the scene and recovered the pass from the subject and gave it to the student.
In the 2010 Wisconsin gubernatorial election, there was a 62,000 vote deficit, and analysts predict this year’s election might be just as close. Obama urged younger audience members to be social media savvy before election time and share Burke’s message on online platforms.

Soup for Substance discussion focuses on El Salvador martyrs Nicaraguan author speaks about 6 Jesuits killed 25 years ago
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1:
DPS: Repeat MU criminal trespasser cited by MPD “We have a very diverse campus because we are in a very diverse neighborhood, so we can have a lot of different people walking in and out of our buildings,” he said. In cases where students feel uncomfortable with someone in a building, he said not to approach anyone. “Call us and let us determine and find out who a person might be,” he said. “They could be legit, but let us find out.” Anna Hull, a senior in the College of Communication, lives on campus and is concerned with more ways to try and protect herself since the trespassing incidents occurred.

The Rev. Joe Mulligan spoke at Monday’s Soup for Substance event, encouraging students to become active proponents of structural social justice in the lead-up to the 25th anniversary of six Jesuit martyrs murdered in El Salvador. Mulligan, who lives in Nicaragua, is the author of The Jesuit Martyrs of El Salvador: Celebrating the Anniversaries, which looks at the murders of the six Jesuit professors by Salvadoran soldiers on November 16, 1989, near the end of the Salvadoran Civil War. In addition, a housekeeper and her daughter were murdered on the campus of the University of Central America (UCA) in San Salvador. Since most of Marquette’s current students weren’t alive in 1989, Mulligan discussed what the six Jesuit martyrs mean to students at this part of their lives. His presentation touched three main points of active compassion, political organization and prophetic courage. “What I think can serve as inspiration and encouragement for us is the (martyrdom’s) active compassion,” Mulligan said. “But it’s not a matter of the sentiment. It doesn’t help the person if we don’t do anything, so we need to take action.” However, Mulligan said active compassion needs to be more structural than individual

“At this point so much stuff is happening that even if you do take as many precautions as you can, you can’t necessarily stop them,” she said. “It’s happening to everyone.” Lukas Baker, also a senior in the College of Communication, said the two incidents of trespassing are proof DPS should be considered as its own police force. “MPD cannot be relied upon wholly as our actual police force to respond to incidents around campus,” Baker said, adding that with crime in Milwaukee going up, MPD is being drawn out all across the city. “DPS is all we have,” he said.

in order to be fully effective. “To the extent that we can change the structures of society, we can make a better life for many more people,” Mulligan said. “It has to do with organized love, that we make organized efforts to create a more just society in this world.” In addition to active advocating, Mulligan talked about seizing the 25th anniversary as a time to reflect critically on what led to the killings, especially since the U.S. generally supported the Salvadoran military in the 1970s-80s. Mulligan also warned students about a false dichotomy surrounding the work of the six Jesuit martyrs. “Were the martyrs killed because of their faith in Jesus
or because of their involvement in the struggle for justice? Well, it’s both,” Mulligan said. “And their involvement in the struggle for justice was simply an expression of loving their neighbor.” A delegation of students from the 28 Jesuit universities in the U.S., including Marquette, will send students, faculty and staff to San Salvador to mark the 25th anniversary of the of killings at UCA. The event takes place Nov. 12-17. “Don’t mourn on this 25th anniversary of their death,” Mulligan said about the martyrs. “We can feel sorry, and that’s probably good in itself, but we need to take action to continue the efforts of these martyrs and of others for peace and justice.”
Completing the request does not guarantee selection for a lunch with President Lovell, as his availability is limited.

Comedian pursues creativity, comedy and music on tour By Joe Kaiser
joeseph.kaiser@marquette.edu
“It was a lot like going to the bathroom,” said comedian Nick Thune, 34, about having his first hour-long Netflix special released earlier this year. “You feel relieved.” Thune moved from his native Seattle to Los Angeles to pursue a comedy career ten years ago. Since then, he released a half-hour Comedy Central special in 2008, his first album, “Thick Noon,” in 2010 and the aforementioned Netflix special. He appeared on “The Tonight Show” 10 times, “Conan” twice and “Late Night” once, in addition to guest appearances in films like “Knocked Up” and “Extract.” Thune, who incorporates playing guitar into his act, will travel through the Midwest on his “In the Heartland” tour this week, stopping at Milwaukee’s Underground Collaborative Wednesday. “If I were to sell my show, I would say, ‘Do you want to just relax for an hour?’” Thune joked. “I have pillows and blankets in there. I let people do naps and have a very
comfortable situation for everyone.” He talked to the Wire about his tour, his act, music and the never-ending pursuit of creativity. Marquette Wire: How and why did you first start to integrate music into your comedy? Nick Thune: I wanted to be like a really prolific lead singer of a band, but unfortunately, I couldn’t be that, so I guess I decided to be a prolific comedian instead. I really couldn’t sing that well, so I guess I just decided to talk over the guitar. MW: What does music do for your material creatively? NT: I like all different styles of comedy, and I think choosing to put music over it is adding a tone. If you were to watch a movie with no music in the background, it would be a whole different experience than if you were watching with music in the background. Obviously, standup comedy isn’t a movie. I just think that (music) adds another element, that sometimes it can add an exclamation point on things, sometimes it can really downplay things. It’s just nice to add different colors. MW: Did you ever worry about whether or not audiences would be receptive to this style of comedy? NT: I’ve never really been concerned about that. I just started doing something, and it semed to work the whole time.

Nick Thune began his comedy career in Los Angeles at 24 and is now traveling the country for his latest tour.
I’ve never really over thought too much. I think if I were to over-think it, it would be a lot less genuine. I think it’s easy to force music into something it doesn’t need to be forced into. If it doesn’t work without the guitar, then it doesn’t seem worthwhile. MW: So how has that style developed over time? Is this tour much different than your past tours/specials? NT: I’m doing rock clubs rather than comedy clubs. I’m even doing a bookstore. It’s a totally different tour than I’ve done before. Most of it is new material. I think it’s a different style. I think I’m evolving with age and, ya know, I want to be interested in what I’m doing, and I think it’s hard to stay interested in what you’re doing if it’s the same thing. I’ve played at places like that before, but I’ve never done a tour like that before where I’m specifically not performing at comedy venues. This is my second one – I just did one in the Northwest that was only four days. I’ve toured with bands before, and I like that lifestyle of moving from city to city quicker and to me arriving in the city the day of doing a show means something to me. After being in a city for the day, you’re kinda comfortable. You kind of lose the novelty that it’s a pretty cool thing that you’re touring. There are so many cool things about it, but if you’re just sitting in a
city doing show after show to me, it loses that appeal. I think I can tell on stage if I’m bored. MW: How are the audiences different at something like a rock club or bookstore opposed to a comedy club? NT: They’re better crowds, I think, because at a comedy club, there are two audiences. There is your audience, then there is a group of people who just come to comedy clubs. They just know there is a comedy club. They just go there, there is comedy. I’m doing a rock club, and people are coming to a show only to see me. There is no riffraff. There are no random people that just showed up. It’s a specific audience. They know what they’re getting. They’re excited about it. That way I feel better about it exposing all the parts of my body and my mind. MW: Is that why you wanted to try this kind of tour, because of the difference in audiences? NT: I just like to try new things. It’s a way of touring that some of my friends do a little more often, and I’ve seen other comedians do and I’ve just always wanted do it myself. MW: You told Esquire that you’re “definitely a daydreamer,” but as we get older, “the more that part of us dies.” What do you mean by that, and how does that manifest itself in your work, considering you say you like to try new things and you’re still evolving your comedy? NT: It’s just life. The older
you get, you realize (life is) not a puppet. There is a hand in the puppet, and there is a guy back there who is in his 30s. The allure of everything is gone, and now it’s just reality and that takes away creativity, and so (you have to find) ways of chasing creativity and chasing excitement in mundane things that used to be exciting but are no longer. I feel like I constantly have to find ways to recreate that. For instance, I’ve been to therapy before, and I think a lot of people go to therapy to fix what is wrong with them, but I think a lot of the ways that I’ve ever approached therapy, as far as it goes for self-examination, is I want to know why I’m doing something. Maybe that’ll affect why I do it. It’s not something I want to fix; it’s something I want to understand. MW: Is that recreation and pursuit of creativity hard? NT: It’s good to be aware of – how do you recreate it? Being aware of it is part of it, then the rest is continuing to pursue it. At some point if you’re not chasing or trying to be something, or trying to learn new things – I’ve learned enough stuff to make probably it in the world – but that doesn’t mean I want to stop learning things, even about myself or about audiences. At the same time, it’s more exciting when you’re exploring all these things.

Ok Go experiments pop sound on ‘Hungry Ghosts’ Indie quartet to play new album at Turner Hall next week By Maddy Kennedy
madeline.kennedy@marquette.edu
Alternative indie-pop band Ok Go is hitting the road for the first time in four years with a new tour, a new album and an experimental pop-infused style. After releasing several singles from its upcoming album, “Hungry Ghosts,” anticipation for the band’s Oct. 10 show at Turner Hall builds as it finished up a summer/fall tour and prepares for a shifting musical career. The now LA-based quartet originally formed over a decade ago in Chicago and released its first self-titiled album in 2002. Although the band’s initial work helped it gain notoriety and top charts, members Damian Kulash (lead singer), Andy Ross (guitar/vocals), Dan Konopka (drums) and Tim Nordwind (bass) are best known as
those guys who won a Grammy for dancing on treadmills back in 2006. Ok Go’s distinct and inspired approach to creating songs and videos have since helped the band sell more than 600,000 albums and gain over 150 million views on YouTube. After a four-year hiatus, the band spent its summer touring across the U.S. in preparation for the release of its fourth studio album on Oct. 14. Despite the long and busy summer, Nordwind said that the musicians have enjoyed their return to the tour scene and look forward to the upcoming Milwaukee show. “It’s nice to be able to connect with people face to face,” Nordwind said. “We love making videos, but you can’t watch people watch the music videos. It’s really nice to connect with a room full of people and have party together.” Although Ok Go has experienced great success with a signature, cathartic rock ‘n’ roll sound on previous albums, Nordwind said that fans can expect a slightly different style on “Hungry Ghosts.”

“I think it’s the best thing we’ve done to date,” Nordwind said. “But it’s probably the most pop record we’ve ever written.” He said that the band was inspired by the upbeat and fun music of artists like New Order and Prince, bands they had listened to as kids. “We wanted to create music that’s very joyful and fun to listen to,” Nordwind said. Ok Go’s new experimental style is already evident in the four released “Hungry Ghosts” tracks. Songs like “Turn Up the Radio” and “The Writing’s on the Wall” showcase a reduction in guitar and an increased use of rhythmic synth, minimalism and club-like dance beats. According to Nordwind, the currently unreleased track, “Obsession,” follows a similar pattern and has been one of his favorites to play on tour. “It’s been going over extremely well live,” Nordwind said. “It’s a fun, sleazy dance song that sounds like it should be playing at a club at three in the morning.” Despite “Hungry Ghost’s” pop-inspired roots, he insists Ok Go has not lost its signature edge. Not all songs off the new album are what Nordwind called a “happy-happy good time.” The band still strived to create songs that made audience members feel, in his words, “comfort, love, longing, whatever.” “I want people to go through the human experience when they hear this music,” he said. “Even if it’s just for three minutes, I want them to feel like they’re not alone.”
Bassist Tim Norwind (far left) says the group still plays with alternative edge.

Crime trends require proactive DPS responses
Photo by Rebecca Rebholz/rebecca.rebholz@marquette.edu
Our view: With recent crime trends in Milwaukee and near campus, DPS should provide more descriptive and practical advice for students to protect themselves. Criminal activities are often commonplace at Marquette, as every week the Department of Public Safety reports theft, battery, vandalism and trespassing — to list a few crimes frequently committed — on campus and in the surrounding Milwaukee community. Under the Clery Act, the university must publicly document all the reports it receives, and based on any noted crime trends, DPS sometimes offers more clear tips to avoid unsafe circumstances. This past week one crime in particular stood out on DPS’s site: trespassing. The Wisconsin State Legislature defines criminal trespassing as “intentionally enter(ing) the dwelling of another without the consent of some person lawfully upon the premises, under circumstances tending to create or provoke a breach of the peace.” On Wednesday, Sept. 24, “a person not affiliated with Marquette trespassed in [a] student’s unsecured residence in the 1300 block of West Kilbourn Avenue,” according to the DPS daily log. That same day, a similar event occurred in Schroeder Complex, and the next day, outside of McCormick Hall. The three trespassing incidents occurred between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., indicating students were likely at risk walking to and from academic buildings and the dormitories at regular times throughout their day. Though DPS did catalog the events online, further discussion on the incidents is virtually nonexistent. DPS sends out news updates on major incidents via email with the same guidelines each time: students should walk in pairs, utilize LIMO and safety patrol services and when approached, surrender property. However, these blanket suggestions do not universally apply to all forms of crime and DPS reports only inform students after the fact and reiterate these principles when it could take a more proactive role. When crimes recur, DPS should take note
and approach the issue with greater proactivity. Crime reports give students a glimpse of the status of crime on campus and in the surrounding community, but generic public safety tips can only go so far when it comes to preventing future crimes. Students often fail to respond to criminal activity because they are not fully aware of the options they have at their disposal, and some assume they do not have to modify their behavior because other people will. With past crime outbreaks, DPS has taken a more preemptive approach. Last year, cell phone “snatching” became an increasingly common crime across the country and particularly on campus. In light of the trend, DPS disseminated practical tips and information on how students should best respond to the trend, and some students adopted the suggestions, like do not text while walking alone and put your phone away when not in use. This kind of commitment to serving the general safety interests of the student body through a more involved and interactive approach should be a common practice by DPS. Of course, DPS is not solely responsible for eradicating crime on campus altogether. The Marquette community should not expect DPS to prevent and solve all forms of crime on campus, and students likewise fall short. It is difficult for every student to take every safety precaution possible at all times. DPS has the best access to information concerning crime on campus, and is therefore most aware of trends in crime, how best to avoid crime and what courses of action are available to mitigate the effects. With this information, students should choose to alter their behavior based on solid facts and concrete suggestions on how best to respond to and avoid crimes in a proactive manner. Moving forward, DPS should continue to provide alerts and in-depth reports on crime at Marquette and in the surrounding community, but students also need to act on a more detailed and pragmatic set of guidelines to outline what practical steps they can take in response to developing crime trends.
Matt Gozun Ello, a new social networking site currently in its beta stages, promises its users something unheard of on the Internet: zero advertising. In doing so, the site’s creators declared war on what they perceive to be ‘big data’ run amok. “Your social network is owned by advertisers,” says the site’s manifesto. “Every post you share, every friend you make, and every link you follow is tracked, recorded, and converted into data. Advertisers buy your data so they can show you more ads. You are the product that’s bought and sold.” The term ‘big data’ refers to the practice of using information about consumers to make conclusions about their behavior. Using this information, advertisers target specific ads to groups of people who will be more receptive to the products being shown. For example, a company like Victoria’s Secret would advertise in Cosmopolitan rather than Motor Trend, due to the publisher’s sense of its reader base. Today, the Internet allows companies to target advertisements to specific individuals based on their online activity. Constantly Googling how to take care of a baby? Google will eventually figure out that you are a new parent and place ads for cribs and baby formula in your site. Played some Latin music on Spotify? Do not be surprised if the State Farm commercial starts playing in Spanish. Despite privacy concerns, there is little indication that this type of advertising has a negative impact on ‘big data’ growth. For the second quarter of 2014, Facebook reported its total advertising revenues were $2.7 billion, constituting more than 90 percent of its quarterly earnings. That number includes not just the money advertisers spend to place ads, but also the money companies pay Facebook to learn about its users. And often, this data is worth
more than actual ad space. Still, calls for more privacy have not gone unnoticed. Ello is proof of a growing demand for less intrusion by data miners into lives tied to the Internet. Ello’s pledge not to accept advertising money has led the site to adopt a pay-asyou go business model. As features are released, Ello plans to charge a one-time fee for users to access them. To create an account, a person needs an invitation from a current user, likely to cut down on the cost of handling many throwaway accounts on its servers. While Ello’s ideas are not necessarily revolutionary--paying for content is standard procedure on newspaper sites-the site would a lead a shift in how we view social media. Most people accept advertising because they pay the costs needed to make sites like YouTube and Facebook free to use. In the early days of the Internet, no one would pay money to watch funny cat videos or see pictures of a friend’s vacation to Italy, so advertising was necessary. Sites including YouTube and Facebook are so closely tied to modern life that many people would probably bear a fee to continue accessing them should they start charging. That is, until a new site popped up that provided the same content for free. When considering the options, people can choose to pay for the things they want or risk knowing that what they do is being tracked by companies. And in the end, people care more about their pocketbooks than what might be considered a minor disturbance to their state of mind. While Ello will probably find a niche amongst those concerned about their privacy, it is highly unlikely it will knock Mark Zuckerberg off his throne. People tend to evaluate things in the short-term, and right now, most people are not that concerned about Facebook knowing too much about them. They just want to make sure their friends know their status update for free.

Car thefts could be reduced with community programs
Sarah Patel Crime in urban areas is not uncommon. As students in a city, we are hyper-aware of it and frequently cautioned to be careful when walking the campus at night. But to be honest, sometimes it is a pain to restrict myself, and I often do walk alone at night. I am sure many students feel the same way and are aware of the possible crime, but do not restrict their day-to-day activities even when trends persist. A present crime trend in Milwaukee is car thefts which, according to the Journal Sentinel, have risen 70 percent over the last year. Theft numbers were in decline until early 2014, when there was a sudden spike, and the numbers continue to increase. Car theft numbers in other cities, such as New York City, continue to be in decline with Milwaukee representing an anomaly. Today cars are more difficult to steal due to the new chips put in keys in order to start them. Another possible reason for the declining rate of cart thefts is this technology paired with police forces’ determination to put an end to car thefts. The police utilize new technology such as license plate scanners to keep track of cars which makes finding them much easier. The car models often stolen in Milwaukee are mostly Dodge and Chrysler models, which are easy to steal since all one needs is a screwdriver to effectively break into the car.
What is unusual about car thefts in Milwaukee compared to other cities is that cars stolen here are not usually for chop shops or other such money-making opportunities. Most recent car thefts have been committed by teenagers looking for some illegal entertainment. Most recent car thieves are teenagers just wanting a joy ride. Stolen vehicles are usually linked to other crimes such as robbery, however the main purpose for teens is entertainment and bragging rights rather than greater crimes. Also an interesting element to these cases is how the rate of car thefts has sky rocketed but punishment for these teens has not, especially witch many repeat offenders. These cases call into question why teen car thieves are not being caught and punished. Milwaukee has a non-
pursuit policy of which teen car thieves are taking advantage. Police cannot pursue cars not explicitly committing a crime if it is unclear whether the car was stolen or not. There have been many accidents in the past involving police pursuing cars and deaths ensuing, resulting in the policy. Since Milwaukee youth commit many of the car thefts, there is a question of what is driving them to commit this type of crime. Some of the suspects are as young as 13, and I wonder if the community is a major influence on their illegal activity. If more after-school resources or community programs were put into place, maybe these teenagers would have more places to go and less opportunity to commit crime. The main reason for car thefts in

Milwaukee seems to be teenage boredom and curiosity. By redirecting teens’ focus, the rate of car thefts would probably decrease. While the police need to get involved from a punishment and reprimand perspective, the community also needs to get involved from a preventative perspective. By having resources that teens can get involved with, these types of community based crimes can be reduced. Crime has been decreasing all across the nation, especially car theft. With car theft on the rise in Milwaukee, law enforcement and the community can both help reduce these crimes and better serve our city and youth.

Women’s soccer opens conference play with 8 goals in two games By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team extended its winning streak to four games with victories against Creighton 7-2 and Villanova 1-0 in a perfect home stand to get the team back above .500 before its first Big East road game. Coach Markus Roeders said the winning streak had a big impact on his team’s season. “After the kind of start we’ve had, a few games slipped away from us a little bit,” Roeders said. “Being 4-0 at home over the past two weekends and 2-0 in the Big East to start off that part of the season, we couldn’t be in a better position.” Sophomore Liz Bartels capped off the big weekend for the Golden Eagles when she netted the only goal of the shutout victory against the Wildcats. Bartels caught a
pass from freshman midfielder Eli Beard, worked the ball into the box on a great individual effort, and then went bardown on the ‘Nova keeper. The goal was a big enough cushion, as the team shut down the Wildcat attack. Bartels’ goal highlighted a homestand where the Golden Eagles struck first in every game, including a first-half goal in three of the four games. Junior defender Jacie Jermier booted home a free kick in the seventh minute against Kansas, sophomore midfielder Meegan Johnston started a four-goal first half when she deflected a corner in the fourth minute against Creighton and Bartels’ goal in the 19th minute against Villanova. Bartels said it is vital for the team to get the first goal. “It’s really important to get up first because it shows that we’re the ones attacking them,” Bartels said. “We’re not going to wait for the other team to come onto us.” Roeders said he wanted a more efficient offense entering Big East play, and he got everything he could ask for in the two vic-
tories to kick off the conference schedule. The Golden Eagles scored a combined eight goals during the weekend, seven of which came in the demolition of Creighton in the Big East opener. In the match against the Bluejays, seven different Marquette players registered points . Senior midfielder Mary Luba led the way with six points, while Bartels notched four against Creighton and scored two more against Villanova to tie Luba for the points lead over the weekend. Coming into the weekend, Jermier led the team with seven points. Now, Bartels leads the team with 10 and Jermier and Luba trail her with nine. While the Golden Eagles continue to have a score-by-committee offense, that committee is finding the net much more than it did earlier in the season. Roeders said the scoring efficiency was really nice to see. “I thought there was a lot of balance with the goal scorers and some terrific shots and finishes,” Roeders said. “For us, most important is to have won another game … and take
another step forward.” Luba said getting scoring from everyone is a great way for the team to have success. “It’s always nice to see everyone contribute and everyone on the same page at the same time,” Luba said. “We can score, we’re capable of scoring more than seven goals.” Much like the offense, the defense has come into its own during the homestand. In nonconference play, the Golden Eagles allowed 15 goals in nine games, a 1.67 goals against average. Before the current homestand, the goals against average was 2.00 goals per game. But the Golden Eagles halved that number in their recent homestand, and brought the average down to 1.55, including a 1.00 goals against average early in Big East play. Roeders said the defense is fueled by the offense, so the offense’s success means defensive success as well. “Overall, our defending has to be solid,” Roeders said. “Everybody has to put in their part, because if it breaks down up front, we can’t
just ask our midfield and defense to pick up the slack. Our back four and goalkeeping, overall, I think is more sound. We’re allowing fewer chances.” With the improved play of both the offense and defense, the Golden Eagles are back at .500 for the first time since its victory against Loyola-Chicago in the season opener. With such a dominant start in Big East play, it seems that the team is playing its best soccer of the season thus far. However, the team will have to put their best foot forward when it takes on St. John’s, who is tied with Marquette atop the Big East standings. The match against St. John’s will kickoff in Queens, N.Y., at 6 p.m. Thursday. The Golden Eagles will then travel back home Sunday to take on Xavier at Valley Fields. Roeders said St. John’s will be a good benchmark game for the team. “We’re coming together,” Roeders said. “We have to go on the road. St. John’s is going to be a tough opponent before we come back home.”
Women’s volleyball sweeps first Big East opponents Vicotory extends MU’s conference winstreak to 14 straight By Matt Barbato
matthew.barbato@marquette.edu
It was an effective opening weekend of Big East play for the women’s volleyball team, as it cruised past conference foes Providence and St. John’s on the road to improve its record to 11-3 and start conference play 2-0. Marquette swept both teams, beating the Friars 25-15, 25-15
and 25-12, and defeating the Red Storm 25-16, 25-18 and 25-21. The Golden Eagles used an 8-1 start to ignite their strong performance in Rhode Island. Marquette had 17 kills in the first set against the Friars, one of the highest totals of the season. Providence stuck around much longer in the second set and trailed only 16-12 before the Golden Eagles went on a 7-1 run to seize control once again. Marquette overcame an 8-1 deficit in the third set and closed the match on a 17-1 run that was sparked by five kills from senior Lindsay Gosh. Sophomore Autumn Bailey led the team with 15 kills and 13 digs
in the match. Gosh chimed in with 11 kills and four digs. Freshman Gabby Benda had 25 assists, while sophomore Lauren Houg tied Bailey with 13 digs. Head coach Ryan Theis was impressed by his team’s performance in his Big East coaching debut. “We sided out pretty well (against Providence) and other than the start of the third set I thought our offense did a pretty nice job,” Theis said in a press release. “We had 17 kills in the first, one of the higher totals, if not the highest total this year. I don’t know that we played our best match, but we certainly did
some things well.” St. John’s gave Marquette a tough time in the opening set and only trailed 19-16 before the Golden Eagles went on a 6-0 run to secure the set victory. Benda, who played in the entire match for the first time in her career, had 14 assists on Marquette’s 16 kills in the set. The second set was all Marquette. The Golden Eagles started the match with an insurmountable 7-0 run. The third set in Queens, N.Y., was similar to the one against Providence, as the Golden Eagles finished strong, going on an 8-0 run to fight out of a 21-17 deficit and take the match.
Bailey led the team with 19 kills and 14 digs, while sophomore Nele Barber added eight kills and six digs. Houg had 10 digs and Benda finished with 34 assists and seven digs. Junior Ellie Rauch added eight digs. The Golden Eagles improved their unbeaten streak in conference play to 14 matches. Marquette will play its first conference home matches this weekend, as it will take on Georgetown and Big East favorite Creighton Friday and Saturday at the Al McGuire Center.

Selvaggi makes impact early for Golden Eagles DePaul transfer leads team in goals in first campaign for MU By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette soccer is receiving high production from players entering their first years as Golden Eagles. At the forefront is redshirt junior forward David Selvaggi, who transferred from DePaul, is developing into the star of the high-powered Marquette attack. He leads Marquette in goals and points a month into the season. Selvaggi is a newcomer to the Golden Eagles lineup, but he certainly is not a newcomer to the program as a whole. He joined the team at the start of last season, but due to NCAA transfer regulations, he was forced to sit out a season before partaking in game action.
Selvaggi prepared for months before he was finally able to don the blue and gold jersey for the first time. “Training was my game,” Selvaggi said. “It was really easy coming here, and they all welcomed me really nicely.” While Marquette was playing out one of its most successful seasons in program history, Selvaggi was forced to watch from the sidelines. That did not stop him from progressing personally. “It was frustrating, but it was a learning experience,” Selvaggi said in regards to sitting out. “I thought my learning curve really escalated during that year. Being able to sit out just made me get more familiar with the team and being a Marquette soccer player.” Marquette coach Louis Bennett agreed sitting out has taught Selvaggi about Marquette soccer. “For anyone coming to our program, we do things a lot
differently than other programs,” Bennett said. “Sometimes when you’ve been a college player for two years you think ‘I know the college game.’ I don’t define it as ‘do you know the college game?’ I define it as ‘do you know Marquette soccer?’” His outburst of production is not a surprise to many. Going into this season, Marquette knew it could be adding someone very special. At DePaul, Selvaggi started off his collegiate career with a bang, tying for the team lead in goals and placing second on the Blue Devils in assists as a freshman. His efforts earned him a spot on the Big East AllRookie team. Top Drawer Soccer ranked him as the 17th best freshman in the country. However, he took a small step back his sophomore season. In 13 matches, he was unable to score a goal and only started once for the Blue Devils. It was enough to make him
consider a change of scenery, and Marquette seemed to be a logical match. David’s bother Anthony was just finishing up his Marquette career during David’s sophomore season. Anthony, a midfielder, earned starts in all four years as a Golden Eagle. His first goal did not come until his senior year, though, in a match against David’s DePaul squad. Through his brother, Selvaggi already knew many of the players at Marquette and battled them in Big East play. Selvaggi’s impact on the roster was noticeable immediately. He notched an assist, a pretty ball to C. Nortey, in his first ever match as a Golden Eagle. He was the only goal scorer in the Gonzaga and Drake matches, scoring two of the three goals as the team’s penalty kicks specialist. Bennett may have found himself a star forward for this season and next. He serves as another key cog
to the attacking unit, making it increasingly difficult for opposing units to focus on just one player. Selvaggi said that he and Nortey had instant chemistry that seems to be developing even more with time. Bennett believes that Selvaggi is not only becoming a player that is tough to play against, but one that is fun to play with as well. “Mitotically he’s put into place the things that he’s going to need to do to be successful here while keeping his identity,” Bennett said. “I’m proud of him.” Even though he’s moved up Lake Michigan an hour and a half, Selvaggi will not be entirely separated from his first two seasons. Selvaggi expects a little extra boost going into the match against DePaul Nov. 7. “That’s going to be a fun game,” Selvaggi said with a laugh.
Hockey places 2nd in Cincinnati Dayton, SLU great Victories against Miami (FL), Xavier highlights tourney By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
The Marquette club hockey team finished with a 2-2 record against stiff competition in its four-game road trip to Cincinnati, Ohio. Friday night, the Golden Eagles beat Miami (FL) 6-3. Marquette knocked off the Hurricanes, who played in last year’s national tournament. The team followed Friday’s win with a 7-1 thrashing of host Xavier Saturday. The tournament finale was a 5-2 loss at the hands of the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, ranked No. 14 in the Division 1 American Collegiate Hockey Association rankings. The Friday matchup against Miami put Marquette (5-3) up against one of the better teams in the nation. Marquette and Miami were tied at three until the third period, when the Golden Eagles pulled away, scoring
three unanswered goals. Senior Tyler Schwichtenberg led the way with two goals on the day. Saturday’s opening game was a rematch of last year’s thumping by Xavier. In what was a carbon copy of Friday’s matchup, the Golden Eagles pulled away in the third period, scoring four of their seven goals in the final frame. Sophomore Kellan Buddy scored his first goal of the year on a shot from the blue-line. “Last year, Xavier came and swept Marquette here in Milwaukee, so we were certainly looking for a little redemption in their own barn and redemption is exactly what we got,” coach Will Jurgensen said. Saturday’s late game featured Marquette’s best individual performance of the weekend. Although Oakland scored two goals in the first five minutes, junior goaltender Thomas Place stopped an astounding 48 shots on the afternoon. However, the performance wasn’t enough and the Golden Eagles lost 5-2. With a 2-1 record and owning the tiebreaker of fewest goals against, Marquette clinched a spot in the final, playing Oak-
land once again. After holding the Golden Grizzlies to a scoreless first period, the Golden Eagles gave up two quick goals in the second. The two goals opened the flood gates, and Marquette eventually lost 10-0. But despite losing handily in the championship game, Jurgensen viewed the game as simply a bump in the road in a long season. “It was quite a difficult thing to watch because we are such a better team, but we had a really off day,” Jurgensen said. Senior Matthew Vuoncino echoed a similar sentiment from both of their showings against Oakland. “Ultimately, I don’t believe the score differential does justice to our team,” Vuoncino said. “We realized we can play with anyone when we stick to our game plan. That being said, we still have work to do if we want to beat the best teams in country.” The Golden Eagles return to their home ice this weekend to face Illinois State, with the first game Friday at 7:10 p.m.

fit if Big East expands
Jacob Born It’s hard to believe the “new” Big East is only in its second season of play following the major conference realignment in college sports. Seen as basketballcentric, the Big East is showing it is much more than that, with very competitive soccer, volleyball and lacrosse programs. But even though the conference is very young, it is never too early to start looking at expansion. Two programs perfect for Big East expansion are Saint Louis and Dayton. Both schools’ basketball programs have been successful in recent history. The Billikens made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, won two straight Atlantic-10 conference regular season championships and a conference tournament championship in 2013. Dayton played Cinderella in the 2014 NCAA tournament, reaching the Elite Eight before falling to Florida. Until last March, the Flyers had not made the big dance since 2009, but won the NIT Tournament in 2010. Both SLU and Dayton proved to be quality basketball programs during the past few years, but the schools feature more than just exceptional basketball teams. SLU has the No. 10 men’s soccer team in the country this season, and won the A-10 twice in the past six years. The women’s volleyball team was receiving votes in the rankings in last week’s coaches’ poll, and made the NCAA Tournament last in 2009. Women’s soccer made the NCAA Tournament in 2005 and 2006, but has not been as successful in recent years. While Dayton’s programs
are not as successful as SLU’s squads, the teams could benefit from being in a larger and more competitive conference. Outside of the sports themselves, adding SLU and Dayton to the Big East would be a great form of additional revenue. Logically speaking, St. Louis is arguably the biggest market the Big East has yet to reach. Dayton, while not in a large city, could bring in viewers from Cincinnati and Columbus. These two schools could generate a lot of additional revenue for the Big East, and in return, the two schools add more legitimacy to the Big East conference. But does the Big East even need to expand? By adding SLU and Dayton, it would no longer allow each basketball team to play everyone twice. In other sports, such as soccer or volleyball, it would add additional conference games, making the schedule tighter, and could remove some non-conference games. Also, with any other conference realignment, some sports would not transfer over. For example, SLU and Dayton have both baseball and softball, which Marquette does not have. Likewise, Marquette has men’s and women’s lacrosse, which the other two schools do not have. There is some turnover that would likely occur, which could deter the schools from joining the conference. The Big East may be a “new” conference, but it’s always smart to look to the future. By adding SLU and Dayton to the Big East, the conference would become more competitive and add legitimacy at a time when many no longer consider it to be a power conference.

Dear Marquette Students, At Marquette, we aspire to live out our Statement on Human Dignity and Diversity which charges each member of our campus community “to treat everyone with care and respect and to value and treasure differences.” We know that you value a safe learning environment, an environment that is free of sexual or gender-based discrimination or harassment. To that end, Marquette is committed to preventing and responding to all incidents of sexual or gender-based harassment, misconduct, or violence.
KNOWLEDGE
In the time since the Title IX Dear Colleague Letter (April 2011), Marquette has offered a number of new educational initiatives designed to enhance student awareness of the sexual misconduct risks facing young men and women on college campuses. This comprehensive, educational campaign is designed to help students better understand how they can protect themselves and their peers from sexual misconduct. These efforts have included: u Haven online training on sexual violence prevention for all new undergraduates u Sexual violence prevention small group education sessions for all new undergraduates u Bystander intervention training u Sexual violence prevention education sessions for all students studying abroad u Sexual violence prevention education sessions for all new international students
AWARENESS
Marquette continuously seeks new ways to increase student awareness of the issues surrounding sexual misconduct and the options for reporting incidents of sexual misconduct through various information campaigns, websites, and events including: u Marquette sexual misconduct website www.marquette.edu/sexual-misconduct u Reporting options poster (distributed in residence halls and posted across campus) u Teal-out poster campaign (starting this week!) u Denim Day u Teeter-totter marathon (sponsored by O’Donnell Hall) u Social marketing campaign
SUPPORT
Marquette and our Milwaukee community partners offer a variety of support services that are available to students who have experienced sexual misconduct: u Confidential medical services though Aurora Sexual Assault Treatment Center (SATC) and Marquette University Medical Clinic u Confidential counseling services though Marquette University Counseling Center and other community organizations such as The Healing Center, Sojourner Family Peace Center u Victim advocacy services and victim/witness services u Other campus resources including Campus Ministry, the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, and the Circle of Healing Support Group for Victims of Sexual Violence
COMMUNITY
Marquette’s efforts to prevent sexual violence through education and our support services following incidents of sexual misconduct are part of our commitment to build a culture of respect while following the guidelines set forth by Title IX and the 2013 Campus SaVE Act to maintain a safe learning environment. This fall, we launched mandatory online training programs for all university employees aimed at increasing their awareness of Title IX and the Campus SaVE Act, including their duty to report all crimes, including incidents of sexual misconduct, to our Department of Public Safety. And, as part of Marquette’s efforts to treat everyone with care and respect, victims of sexual misconduct are asked by Public Safety officers if they would prefer speaking with a female (or male) officer. Given our student employees have an obligation as a Marquette employee to report all incidents of sexual misconduct, student employees received the online training for Title IX. If you wish to view the online training module, you may contact: titleix@marquette.edu. Marquette is committed to maintaining a safe learning environment, ensuring the human dignity of all members of our campus community, and adhering to the guidelines set forth by Title IX and the SaVE Act. However, we also recognize that you, our students, are very important partners and play a key role in building a culture of mutual respect and ensuring that our campus community does not tolerate sexual misconduct in any form. Thank you for serving as such great partners in these efforts—we welcome your feedback, encourage your involvement, and appreciate your support! Sincerely,
