Campus reflects on Carr’s life
By Joe Kaiser and Sarah Hauer joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu sarah.hauer@marquette.edu
The resignation of University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz and delay of the provost search are complicating the search for a new College of Business Administration dean, despite a search committee forming in late August. Mark Eppli has served as interim dean since Linda Salchenberger stepped down from the position in July 2012 to become associate provost for academic planning and budgeting. When the university announced the search committee Aug. 26, the goal was to have the dean position filled by early spring 2014, but Joseph Daniels, co-chair of the search committee and chair of the department of economics, said the target date will likely have to be pushed back. Eppli declined to comment because he said he may be considered for the permanent position. “If by some chance the university announced a president by the end of the calendar year, there’s still a probability we could have somebody in August,” Daniels said. “If not, we could shoot for June of the next year.” Daniels, who is co-chairing the committee with Michael Akers, the department of accounting chair, said the lack of a permanent university president and provost consequently affects the college’s search for a dean. “So there’s a domino effect where you (lack a) president, provost, dean, faculty and this creates uncertainty all the way down,” Daniels said. “If you go in the reverse order, if we go out and hire, that person doesn’t know who their boss is going to be ... the dean doesn’t know who they would be working for. And the provost doesn’t know who they would be working for. And so that really makes it difficult for us to get the best person for the job and everyone knows that.” Daniels said the original plan was to have the dean search follow the provost search, and that may still be true even with the See Business, Page 4

More than 70 friends and family members remembered Andrew “Keith” Carr during a memorial service Sunday in the Alumni Memorial Union. Carr,
decided to host another when more people were back on campus, said the Rev. Thomas Anderson, the priest at Schroeder Hall where Carr lived during his sophomore year. “We wanted today to be a day to remember Keith and share stories, and that is exactly what we are going to do,” he said. Cecilia Ware, a junior in the College of Education, recalled receiving a text message from Carr at least once a week
last year at 3 a.m. that read: “Yo, Walgreens now, chips and salsa, we got to snack.” “I used to receive texts like this all the time,” Ware said. “He made me feel loved, that is the most important thing in a friendship. He made everyone feel loved.” To embody Carr’s unique style, the memorial service included different colored balloons and See Carr, Page 3

matthew.kulling@marquette.edu
Charley Gargano, men’s lacrosse player and a junior in the College of Education, waived his right to a preliminary hearing after appearing in court Monday and set a new court date for Oct. 8. Gargano is charged with substantial battery with intent to cause bodily harm, after he allegedly assaulted a Department of Public Safety officer Sept. 15. The charge carries up to a $10,000 fine and a prison sentence of up to three and a half years.

Corrections In the Sept. 26 issue of the Tribune, in the article headlined “Expansion policy altered for fraternities,” it is stated that the old Marquette Interfraternity Council policy rules were made in 1988, when they were actually made in 1998 and were revised in 1999. It is also stated that a two-thirds vote is required to open expansion, when it is actually a threefourths vote. In the final paragraph, it is stated that the percentage of undergraduate students in Greek organizations at the end of 2011 was 7.8, but it was actually 7.95. The caption to the photo accompanying that story claims the photo was taken at the IFC meeting Sept. 25, but it was actually taken Sept. 23. The Tribune regrets these errors.

It relies upon the volunteer work from Milwaukee residents including Marquette students. Maryann Radowski, service learning coordinator at the organization, said an average of about 20 Marquette students volunteer at the center each semester as service learning students. Radowski said the service learning program expanded in the past five years in which she has been at Repairers. Other Marquette volunteers stop at the center regularly outside of service learning, though. Allen Samson, a junior in the College of Nursing, said she began volunteering at Repairers this semester through her work with Noon run, another nonprofit serving the homeless in Milwaukee. She said she was disappointed after hearing about the lawsuit. “It’s a great grassroots nonprofit organization that has volunteers and workers who really understand the impoverished

She also expressed concern that this might affect the members of the organization. “I loved going to Repairers and I never thought there were any issues going on with the board,” Schanke said. “I am pretty disappointed that this is occurring, because I really believe in that organization and I hope that this doesn’t affect the people who are helped by Repairers.” Radowski said in an email that turmoil surrounding the administration of Repairers will not inhibit the service learning schedule at the center. The court battle approaches just a few months after the organization finished renovations to its three-story center, a construction process that lasted about two years.

MKE Archdiocese takes steps to avoid future sexual abuse Church plans victim compensation after bankruptcy in 2011 By Natalie Wickman
natalie.wickman@marquette.edu
As the Archdiocese of Milwaukee negotiates settlements with insurance companies to fund compensation for sexual abuse victims, it is enforcing safety regulations within its member churches to avoid any future scandals from occurring. Jerry Topczewski, chief of staff of the archdiocese, said the archdiocese is being serious in its safety reform as it reflects and move on from the scandals. This includes barring any priest with a confirmed allegation of sexual abuse of a minor from serving in public ministry in the archdiocese. “Children today are safer in the Catholic Church than any other institution in our society,” Topczewski said in an email. “All Church personnel and volunteers who work with children must undergo criminal background checks. Every priest, deacon, parish and school staff person and volunteer participates in mandatory Safe Environment training designed to educated people on the signs of sexual abuse.” The Archbishop of Milwaukee, Jerome E. Listecki, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Jan. 4, 2011 as a result of several instances of sexual abuse committed by former archdiocese priests against minors.
The archdiocese also filed a law- a few more years if no one can suit against Stonewall Insurance reach an agreement.

crayons at every table. During the memorial, friends and family were instructed to write down one word that described Carr to them. For some people, one word encapsulated Carr. Words like “perfectly imperfect,” “goofy,” “joy,” “shaggy” and “inspirational” were used to describe Carr. These words inspired stories, like the time he showed someone his Pop Tart carrying case, reasoning that he needed it so his Pop Tarts would not get squished, or how he once used Harry Potter to help a friend pick up a girl. For other people though, one word was not enough to describe Carr. “He loved all types of music, from punk rock to Eminem and Taylor Swift,” Marcus Wendorff, a junior in the College of Business Administration, said. “And he loved colors. He went from playing football and baseball to playing Quidditch here. You could say he was

Mark Carr, Keith Carr’s father, thanked everyone for the blessings and prayers he and his family have received in the past few months. “No words can express my gratitude,” he said. “For 21 years and 23 days I had the most beautiful and amazing son I could have asked for. Listen to your soul, trust your gut feelings and live in the moment – that was Keith.” Carr was a junior studying operations and supply chain management in the College of Business Administration. According to the university, he was frequently on the dean’s list for his academic performance. While at Marquette, he was also a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity.

Professor addresses Native American dental health MU dentist partners with institute, works with high schoolers
By Matt Barbato
matthew.barbato@marquette.edu
Dr. Sheila Stover, a clinical assistant professor in the School of Dentistry, is spreading her expertise beyond the classroom by leading the Dental Pipeline National Learning Institute at Marquette. Stover is partnering with the NLI to raise awareness of the dental profession and oral health care to high school students in various Native American tribes in Wisconsin. The NLI partners with 11 other dental schools and focuses on increasing the enrollment of underrepresented students in dental schools. Native Americans suffer from many health

governmental and community affairs associate in the Office of Public Affairs, connected with Stover because of their work in minority student recruitment and retention. Schram is a member of a minority population who has brought some experience to building the pipeline. “Dr. Stover has set out to inspire young Native Americans throughout the state of Wisconsin to pursue the field of dentistry and bring those critical skills back home, so to speak,” Schram said in an email. “Dr. Stover’s commitment to community-based, culturally sensitive dental health promotion is both extraordinary and unhurried,” Schram continued. “It is this thoughtful and attentive approach to building relationships that is the difference because it is so attuned to a cultural ethic that pervades Native American and Alaska Native communities.”
Stover said students in the program are giving positive feedback, and the program has generated a lot of interest in dentistry from Native American teenagers. She said her new goal is to do a better job of following up on students’ interests. “Moving forward what we feel we need to do, is instead of working so broadly, we need to work with each community individually and really get community leaders to be our advocates and help the young people of the community navigate their way through college and dental school while working with us,” she said. Stover said she does not see what she is doing as an obligatory service, but something she enjoys doing while serving others. “I like working with high school kids, I see a need in dentistry, and I think it’s just fun to do,” she said.
MUSG commuter seat filled after tie Sophomore Ryan Twaddle chosen as president pro tempore By Joe Kvartunas
joseph.kvartunas@marquette.edu
The Marquette University Student Government held its first senate meeting last Thursday since the new residential senators were elected Sept. 12. The meeting saw the election of the new president pro tempore, the tiebreaker for the commuter senate seat and a presentation on alcohol policies by Erin Lazzar, the assistant dean of students. Ryan Twaddle, a sophomore from the College of Arts & Sciences, was elected by the senate to be the new PPT. The College of Arts & Sciences senator stood against new McCormick Hall senator JR O’Rourke, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, who was not able to make it to the meeting. “It feels great to know that now I can increase my involvement in senate,” Twaddle said. “I’m used to just being there and interjecting every once in a while, but I really wanted to do something different this year and take a more active role with the other senators.” The PPT holds several responsibilities to assist the legislative vice president in senate activity, including in presiding over the senate if the LVP is unable to perform his duties. Twaddle is an ex officio member of every committee and will cast a vote if a quorum is needed. He is also required to attend every committee chair meeting. LVP Kyle Whelton, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, once considered the PPT position to be “ineffective.” In response, he has made some changes to the PPT duties. In the past, the PPT was required to be at every committee meeting. With the changes, though, the PPT will
attend one committee meeting a week along with the committee chair meetings. The PPT will also have weekly meetings with Whelton to help set the senate agendas. Whelton has a lot of confidence in Twaddle to take on the expanded role. “I think Ryan is going to do an excellent job,” Whelton said. “He came to me and asked about the position, and I gave him some advice.” The senate meeting also saw the commuter senate seat officially filled by Aliya Manjee, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences. Manjee originally tied the vote with the Mogen Frenkel, a freshman in the College of Health Sciences. The MUSG tiebreaker calls for a vote by the senate to fill the seat. However, Frenkel contacted MUSG leaders last week saying he no longer wished to be considered for the position, citing time concerns. “I withdrew myself from the election because I would not be able to dedicate myself as my opponent due to new commitments to my schedule,” Frenkel said in an email. “For the benefit of the commuters, my opponent would be better suited. She has my full support.” A vote was still held and Manjee was elected unanimously. “I’m excited. I’m excited to be representing my fellow commuters,” Manjee said. MUSG also received a presentation from Lazzar on university alcohol policies during the meeting. She explained the fine system and thanked the senate for helping to write and pass the “Good Samaritan” policy, which protects students from some disciplinary consequences when seeking help for another student. Senators raised several questions about the fining system, particularly about concerns that the alcohol fines are driving potentially dangerous behavior off campus. Lazzar said that there is no data to support that claim.

Digital Billboard Art Month brings high art to highway skies By Taylor Gall
Special to the Tribune
For the next 10 days Milwaukee’s highways will become an art gallery. A new city-wide project will explore the billboard as a venue for something more prestigous than a law firm or fast food ad, as 18 street-side signs will be taken over by Milwaukee’s local artists. The original artwork will be digitally displayed to promote organizations, museums and clubs, as well as the artists that are helping to bring culture to the city The event began when Mayor Tom Barrett issued a one-of-akind proclamation declaring Oct. 1 to Oct. 10 “Digital Billboard Art Month,” or “DBAM.” To kick off the event, there will be a reception sponsored by Creative Alliance Milwaukee held Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Institute of Visual Arts (INOVA), located at 2155 N. Prospect Ave. INOVA is conveniently stationed just a few blocks away from one of the billboard sites, and guests will be able to walk over to the site to see the artwork up-close and personal. In addition to seeing the artwork in person, the INOVA theater will show a slideshow of all 18 billboard images to accompany a discussion lead by Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Graeme Reid.
Presented through the Milwaukee-based companies IN:SITE, Lamar Outdoor Advertising and Clear Channel Outdoor, DBAM will feature art pieces for the groups involved in creating, teaching, displaying, distributing, and celebrating art in the city including Woodland Pattern Book Center, Historic Milwaukee, Inc. and Marquette’s Haggerty Museum of Art, among others. Lynne Shumow, Curator of Education at the Haggerty Museum on campus, is excited to be included in the project. Shumow was approached by Pegi Christiansen of IN:SITE, and immediately jumped at the opportunity to be featured in DBAM. “We are happy to participate (in DBAM) for a number of reasons,” Shumow said via email, “to promote our exhibition of Milwaukee artists (Current Tendencies III), to promote Haggerty, and to be a part of a project that supports and promotes Milwaukee’s art community.” The piece for the Haggerty Art Museum was painted by Milwaukee artist Jon Horvath, who is featured in one of the museum’s current exhibitions. Displayed in Valley Park off of N. 42nd Street and W. St. Paul Avenue, Horvath’s piece plays off its canvas, depicting a woman taking a picture of a billboard in front of a bright blue sky. Each billboard will broadcast its art digitally for what is expected to be more than one million people. Though the pieces will be presented digitally, they were originally created using mediums like printmaking, photography, drawing and even sculpture. Milwaukee artists highlighted include Michael Kautzer, Eddie Villanueva and Dave Watkins. DBAM organizer, IN:SITE
Tuesday, October 1, 2013 is a Milwaukee based company promoting temporary public street art both as an advertising medium and as a way of spreading art appreciation. IN:SITE is known for taking on largerthan-life pieces. The group has transformed entire city blocks and has created a pop-up history museum to educate the public on an area’s history. Temporary public art has become popular in large cities for the way it can respond and be molded by its cultural and socio-economic surroundings. For instance, an advertisement for a new record store looks different in a college town than in a business heavy area. IN:SITE believes lower costs,
stylistic individuality, unique city placement and the customization options of temporary art make it a great way to advertise. IN:SITE also promotes the use of temporary art for the way it opens up employment opportunities for freelance artists to get their artwork into the public. The artworks usually only stay up for about six months, allowing for a constant rotation of
new ideas, images and styles. DBAM is unique in that it lets the average Joes view giant, expressive pieces of art from the windows of their Toyota Camrys. So next time you are walking about or driving around downtown Milwaukee, look up and around for the pop of local color and collaboration that will soon adorn the streets and skies of the city.

Some stories are better heard than seen
Erin Heffernan My love for audiobooks started through hours sitting wedged in the backseat of a Ford Windstar minivan sometime in the mid ‘90s. If I was lucky on any particular Heffernan family road trip, I’d be squeezed next to a pile of duffle bags — if I wasn’t, I became the middle of a football-lineman sandwich, fit between two of my (quite) big brothers. It was a setup prone to outbursts of “get your foot off me!,” “get on your side of the seat!” and the dreaded nuclear option “Move over or. I. Will. Fart. On. You.” But my parents had a secret step for non-proliferation: a book on tape, generally four to 20 hours of smooth-voiced narration that always left us quiet and attentive. We’d forget our brother’s elbow jutting into our pillow space and were left merely anxious to hear what would happen next. We cried during “Shiloh.” I fought with my brothers over listening to “The Secret Garden” and “Anne of Green Gables,” but was just as engrossed by their picks “Redwall,” “Hatchet,” “The Giver” and “Holes.” Best of all I loved the voice of Jim Dale, the unparalleled voice actor who narrates all seven Harry Potter books. I would listen to the recordings before bed every night for years and at one point, if I ever
got too steeped in my 12-year-old moodiness, my parents would even send me upstairs saying “go listen to your Harry Potter tapes!” Unfortunately this story recently came out and my friends here at Marquette have taken to deploying the phrase when I get too worked up in flip cup. Best of all these books and performances developed my vocabulary, taught me how to pronounce “Hermione” before any of my friends, and ignited what has been a lifelong love of hearing, reading and loving the audio versions of my favorite stories. David Sedaris, a writer who also hilariously narrates all his books on audio, perfectly summed up one reason I love the format. “I love audiobooks, in part because I’m lazy and in part because I’m not,” he wrote in the New Yorker. It’s so true. Audiobooks are great because I can listen walking to class, cleaning my apartment (if I ever get around to it) or just lying on my bed, eyes closed with a mind perfectly open to the idea of a nap. Some books are just meant to be read aloud; I hunt for that moment when you discover the perfect match of a great narrator, equally great writing and a book that’s at its best heard rather than read. I will admit that not every book is best on audio — I once tried to listen to James Joyce’s “Ulysses” and barely got through two chapters after hours of hurried dictionary breaks and replays of the same complicated sentences. Rather the books that work best are typically more conversational, lyrical or dramatic. I also think a funny book is always better spoken. When sharp comedic writing is matched with the perfect performer, you get that sense of timing and character that

make the jokes come to life rather than just rattle around your head with slight recognition they’re getting at something. Case in point: Stephen Fry, king of dry British humor, reading Douglas Adams’ sci-fi comedy, “A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.” Fry’s wry, oh so English reading gives the perfect Monty-Python timing to Adams’ words. Works by authors like Neil Gaiman (who often reads his own work), Terry Pratchett and “A Series of Unfortunate Events” by Lemony Snickett, read by the one and only Tim Curry of “Clue” and “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” get the same perfect English delivery from great actors. “Bossypants” by Tina Fey is made complete only when you hear her imitate the voices of Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Oprah
and her own mother and get to hear her inflection making lines hilarious when they might just read as straight in print. Stephen Colbert, Steve Martin, David Rakoff, John Hodgman and Jon Stewart all read their own books with performances that when enjoyed via headphones are likely to get you weird stares as you laugh out loud on the bus, subway or sitting alone in your car. Audiobooks are also perfect for a story written with a distinct voice, narrator or brand of dialogue. The best example I’ve heard is Jeremy Irons (the voice of Scar in “Lion King,” if you don’t know him) giving Humbert Humbert a truly chilling purr in his reading of “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov. Never have I had chills or been so thoroughly creeped as when I was listening to that book. Sissy Spacek’s reading of “To Kill a Mockingbird” in the southern, innocent voice of Harper Lee’s Scout and the full-cast production of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” featuring the Scottish lilt of Alan Cumming, the joyfully pompous Tim Curry and a host of great vocal performances make the novels all the more enthralling. I feel lucky because we’ve come
far from the cassette books-ontape I grew up with. If you want to buy nearly any audiobook recorded in the last 10 years, it’s just a quick iTunes download away. There are also plenty of free ways to listen to books. Marquette subscribes to the Naxos Spoken Word database that allows students to access audio versions of public domain books for free. The site features outstanding performances from actors like Ewan McGregor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellan, Judi Dench and Michael Caine performing everything from Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde and great works of poetry for students to access at any time. There are countless podcasts and websites, like LibriVox, which have volunteers read classic books offered to the public for free. Though the readers can be a bit rough at times, like a version of Dracula I started that literally sounded like a Count Chocula with a cold. But I’ve listened to lovely versions of “Jane Eyre,” “Sense & Sensibility” and “The Portrait of Dorian Grey” thanks to volunteers who must have spent weeks in their basement talking to themselves for my benefit. I am so glad I listened to audiobooks so young. I’ve heard so many ideas and stories I never would have found in print. I’ve fallen in love with the sound of an author. I’ve laughed and cried with the pain in a voice. And I know there are few things better than curling up and listening to a good book.

Director Gordon-Levitt entertains, but falls short ‘Don Jon’ takes on porn addiction, romantic comedies By Claire Hackett Special to the Tribune
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been a part of the film business from the time he was a kid in “3rd Rock From The Sun,” to indie-hit “(500) Days of Summer” and recently reaching blockbuster status in “Looper.” Gordon-Levitt knows how to be a part of a quality movie and that touch for success shows in his recent writing-directorial debut “Don Jon,” which manages to be entertaining and daring, if significantly flawed. “Don Jon” follows Jon Martello, a prolific seducer who wonders why porn continues to be the most satisfying part of his sex life. Fair warning, the movie shows his connection to the explicit videos via a wildly visual montage — not for the sexually timid and definitely (!) not to watch with your parents, little sib or anyone yet to learn about the birds and the bees. When faced with the gap in his real-life and computer-screen fulfillment Jon comes up with
Photo via hitflix.com
a casual answer as undeveloped as Jon himself is unself-aware: He can “lose himself” in porn, but not in sex. But then Jon meets a girl beyond his regular routine of women, a “10” named Barbara Sugarman—or as he and his friends derogatorily call her, a “dime” — played by the voluptuous and vividly entertaining Scarlett Johansson. For Barbara, Jon decides to go for “the long game” (what some people would call dating). But alas, Barbara Sugarman has an agenda of her own. She is controlling and leverages sex
to get Jon to do whatever she wants. In the midst of some dirty dancing, for example, she makes him agree to go to night school and meet her friends and family. All Sugarman’s notions of love and relationships are from romantic comedies, hilariously shown in a scene with Jon at the movie with the appropriately shmaltzy title, “Someone Special,” with cameo appearances from a hammed up Anne Hathaway and Channing Tatum. But even after Barbara has sex with Jon, he still can’t lose himself like he can in the world of porn, and his addiction persists. Soon Barbara discovers his secret and demands he never watch porn again. The proclamation brings Jon to the depths of watching porn on his phone during his night class. He just needs his fix. He needs to get that connection he is missing with real people. Jon tells everyone he loves Barbara, including his overdramatic mother played by Glenne Headly. Jon is dedicated to his family which is mostly shown in scenes between him and his father, played by Tony Danza, colorfully cussing back and forth. His sister remains silent with a phone permanently in her hands. Every time the
mother speaks, she talks of a lack of grandkids and Jon’s need to meet ‘the one’. Herein presents the movie’s key flaw, besides Jon himself, many of the other characters — including every women in the film — remain mere caricatures. The mother is a stereotypical over-protective homemaker. The sister, the apathetic teenage girl, speaks only one line at the end of the movie. Barbara works as your standard over-controlling and romantic girlfriend, with no ambition beside to bend Jon to her will. Jon’s later love interest, Esther, is just as one-sided. Jon meets Esther, played wonderfully by Julianne Moore, as she cries outside of his night class, and the screen-chemistry between Moore and GordonLevitt is immediately palpable. Moore deftly weaves through the comedic and dramatic aspects of the character and she latches onto Jon with ferocity. But despite her connection with Jon on screen, Esther is clearly included in the story to help Jon reach an emotional connection in sex with a real person. As the film develops, it’s clear Esther is used as a plot device rather than a full person. She becomes a tool to guide Jon to self-actualization
through sex. Though the story is about learning to move beyond the objectification of women, ironically the film itself continues to use the female characters to propel Jon’s journey. What saves the film is that Jon himself is multi-dimensional, watchable and makes enough of a societal statement about porn addiction to keep the effort interesting. Jon attends church every Sunday, trading confession for what he sees as instant atonement for his habits, somewhat redeeming the character in the audience’s eyes and keeping Jon from becoming simply a creepy porn-addicted playboy. The confessional scenes are some of the greatest in the movie and reveal the inner transformation Jon undergoes. Overall, “Don Jon” succeeds in creating a fun, liberal take on porn addiction — a tricky enough feat in and of itself. Jon is likable and a protagonist worth watching. Though the characters are not fully fleshedout, many viewers will nevertheless have a fun ride watching them help along Jon’s road from porn-crazed womanizer to an emotionally-developed man.

Barilla needs to say sorry for his ‘apology’
STAFF EDITORIAL
Business school’s problems will worsen without leadership
Illustration by Caroline Devane/caroline.devane@marquette.edu
Our view: The College of Business Administration lacks direction and leadership; this void needs to be filled with a longterm dean, not an interim. In academics, as in business, leadership is important. Students in the College of Business Administration know this — they are required to participate in the Leadership Education and Development program, colloquially known as LEAD. No other Marquette college has an equivalent. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how much the college values leadership, they’re currently without any. The business college has been in the process of looking for a new dean since the former dean, Linda Salchenberger, stepped down in July 2012. It has only been a few months since the college started the search and named Mark Eppli as interim dean. But, now with the resignation of University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz, as well as the open spot for provost, the search could take much longer than expected to fill the deanship permanently. Joseph Daniels, co-chair of the dean search committee and chair of the economics department, said the president and provost searches will take precedence over the dean search. The committee said earlier this year that the college hopes to have a dean by spring 2014, but that date looks far less likely with the lack of certainty in the top spots. Daniels pointed out that it would be difficult to hire a dean if he or she were unaware who the provost would be, just as it would be challenging to hire a provost without knowing which president he or she would be working directly under. The last deanship position filled — that of the College of Arts & Sciences — sat vacant for five years. Two entire classes of Marquette students attended the university with no permanent dean of Arts & Sciences, in part attributable to a change in the presidency, a situation that is repeating itself again. While a hasty decision cannot be made, there are too many problems within the College of Business Administration for
the dean position to remain “interim” for the long-term. One such problem that may arise is the hiring of the nine new professors sorely needed for the next academic year. While professors can be hired without a permanent dean, candidates may be understandably weary about taking a job without knowing who will be leading the college in the future. The college needs to address some of its other issues, most notably advising. In a 2011 Marquette University Student Government survey, 30 percent of business students were dissatisfied with advising, only education students responded with less satisfaction. Another problem that the college could potentially face with a long-term vacancy is financial. One of a dean’s responsibilities includes being the face of the college, especially to potential donors. An interim dean may not be as effective at fundraising for the college. During the College of Business Administration’s last reaccreditation two years ago, the Associated to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business identified the college’s physical space as a challenge. Updating the facilities would require a big donation, which usually goes between a donor and permanent dean or permanent president and donor. The longer this position is vacant, the more problems will arise from a lack of permanent oversight down the road. Yet, it looks like it will be vacant for the foreseeable future. Whether the candidate is a faculty member or person outside of Marquette, they need to be the right person for the job. The new dean needs to be a strong advocate for the college. The dean needs to fundraise, advocate for the college’s needs and represent its students. Hopefully, the university finds the right fit to fulfill all the college’s needs, but the lack of certainty in key leadership positions adds scrutiny to the search. Filling the deanship in the College of Business Administration is going to be a tightrope affair — the decision needs to be made as quickly as possible but as slowly as necessary to assure the college has the best possible leadership.
Helen Hillis Wednesday, Guido Barilla, president of the world’s leading pasta producer, Barilla, made anti-gay remarks during a radio interview. When asked if he would ever feature gay couples in advertisements Barilla responded that he would not, citing the company’s “appreciation” of a “classic family.” Of the combined four apologies that the Italian himself and the company issued, none have enraged me quite like his first. In an effort to qualify his comments, Barilla stated, “I apologize if my words have generated controversy or misunderstanding, or if they have hurt the sensibilities of some people ... I simply wanted to highlight the central role of the woman in the family.” Because six months living in Chile taught me the meaning of the phrase “lost in translation,” I asked my friend Rosie, whose first language is Italian, to verify the media’s translation of Barilla’s apology. According to Rosie, the way that Barilla phrased “central role” really meant that he sees the woman as the core and most important part of the family. I don’t deny that mothers are important. I am blessed to have an incred-
ible mother who is not only a talented cook, but also raised her children with unconditional love. I’d like to have children of my own one day, but when I do, I hope I am never considered the center of the family. It would be disheartening to think that one member is considered more important than other members. A family is a cohesive, interdependent unit in which every individual plays a significant role. My brother Ian’s quirkiness and drive are just as important as my dad’s patience and generosity. What makes a family a family isn’t a concretely defined role played by each member, just as putting a steaming plate of pasta on the table doesn’t make a mother a mother, nor does it make her the center of the family. If anything should be considered the central part of the family, it should be mutual commitment and love. If two men who are committed to each other want to raise a child together, sans a female at their dinner table, that’s fine by me. If two women who are deeply in love want to sit down with their child and enjoy a family meal, I have no problem with that. And you know what else? If one day my husband wants to cook every meal, and I never step into the kitchen, that’s alright too. There is no middle, center or MVP of a family, only a cohesive, dynamic unit that works daily to better the lives of one another. Ciao, Barilla; your “classic family” is not one I want to be a part of. Helen Hillis is a senior studying international affairs and Spanish.

Sale of MPS buildings could yield needed revenue
Eric Oliver With a growing home foreclosure rate and declining public school enrollment, Milwaukee has a lot of empty buildings to maintain, and they’re costing the city a substantial sum of money. Wisconsin Sen. Alberta Darling and Rep. Joe Sanfelippo recently proposed a bill that would allow the city of Milwaukee to sell empty Milwaukee Public School buildings to private organizations looking to set up charter or voucher schools.
The proposed legislation would allow the city to give private organizations a shot at the under-utilized properties. If the buildings still remain vacant or partially vacant after four years, the organizations could lease them out to put the facilities to use in some other way, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article. A similar piece of legislation was introduced in 2011 by Darling and Willie Hines, the Milwaukee council president, but the city didn’t take advantage of it. The city feared that MPS would lose some government funding because private schools would decrease MPS enrollment. Hines recently said he would like to see the city consider leasing the buildings to other organizations that could add tax value, and that may be the best option. I would like to see the city of Milwaukee take over responsibility of these buildings because of MPS’s reluctance to sell. However, like Hines, I don’t think that we should limit the use of these buildings just to the education market.
There is no doubt that the city could use an extra source of income. Very much like Milwaukee recently looking into advertising on public spaces, leasing publicly owned buildings could be another answer to the cities financial woes. The possibility for extra income is within grasp of the city. These buildings are partially vacant and under-utilized. Tax payers pay a substantial amount to maintain them, and, at the end of the day, the buildings will stay vacant. It’s a vicious circle. If the city were to lease even just a portion of these buildings to businesses, it could help stimulate the economy of the city and would be beneficial for all parties involved. For example, say one of these empty schools were to be leased out to a communications firm. The firm would pay to convert the building into office space and it would work out of the building for at least a few years. As a result, property values around the firm would start to rise because the building would be occupied. The firm would pay
taxes on the building, and a new source of employment and revenue would be introduced into the city. While privatizing public schools continues to be a heated, ongoing debate; it is common sense to utilize partially vacant buildings to gain much needed revenue. Having an empty building hurts everyone. Property values drop, maintenance fees go through the roof and the public has something sitting there that could be put to better use. It’s a basic principle taught in Economics 1001, the production possibilities curve. Schools are a priority. Milwaukee needs to educate its future generations, but if the city has too many school buildings and not enough students to fill them, then the city isn’t properly utilizing its resources. The city needs to lease these extra properties to the general public. Eric Oliver is a senior studying journalism and writing intensive English.

Lyon and backline record fourth clean sheet of the season By Andrew Dawson
andrew.dawson@marquette.edu
The winning ways continue for the men’s soccer team as they opened Big East play with a 1-0 result over Xavier. This is the team’s second win and shutout. The defense was once again a key factor in the win, only allowing seven shots and no shots on goal until late in the second half. “We limited Xavier to not that many chances and the chances they did get were kind of half chances, they were chances from pretty far out,” senior defender Paul Dillon said. “We’re finally getting to where we want to be, standing people up, keeping them in front of us, and not giving away little pity goals.” Redshirt junior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon was not pressured often, if at all, and recorded his fourth clean sheet of the season. Neither team started off strong. The first shot of the game was not registered until the 16th minute. Marquette didn’t have a shot until the 27th minute, but after the first shot, the Golden Eagles gained momentum and put some quality chances together. Those chances piled up, and in the 31st minute, Marquette struck. Starting in the defensive end, defender Eric Pothast blocked a shot and, in transition, freshman Coco Navarro fed redshirt sophomore forward C. Nortey at the midline. Nortey beat two defenders and, using the last defender as a screen, cranked a shot down the middle and beat the keeper for the game’s lone goal. Nortey backflipped in celebration. His performance earned him a spot on the Big East Men’s Soccer Weekly Honor Roll and his goal was nominated for the best of the week by TopDrawerSoccer.com. In the final minute of the game, Xavier earned two corners, but the first was knocked out and the second was cleared and Mar-

quette escaped with 1-0 result. Even though Marquette won the game, it was by no means its best outing this season. The offense put up a season-low 10 shots and three shots on goal. However, the strong defense and ball work led to the result. The return of senior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka provided Marquette with a major emotional lift. The all-American has been out since the season opener against UW-Milwaukee with a concussion. Ciesiulka came on as a substitute in the 25th minute and played 58 minutes in the game. “He was a little exhausted at the end of the game,” coach Louis Bennett said. “(Ciesiulka’s) now back in the mix in that posi-
tion, it just makes us stronger in the midfield.” The schedule only gets tougher from here, and so do the breaks between matches. The Xavier game kicked off a three-game road trip in a span of eight days. Preparations will be short between matches, with upcoming opponents UW-Madison and Villanova. “We’re not even thinking about Villanova,” Dillon said. “Other than that, just Madison is the focus right now.” The road trip continues Wednesday night as Marquette takes on in-state rival UW-Madison in the final non-conference game of the regular season.

Club hockey scores big in weekend doubleheader Nine different goal scorers and 15 point producers tally 22 goals By Jacob Born

Tyler Schwitchenberg picked up the puck at the blueline and found Corey Quinn crashing the slot. Schwitchenberg passed the puck behind Quinn, and he put the puck through his legs while avoiding a Northern Illinois defender. Quinn shot the puck, but it was saved by NIU goaltender JoJo Durrbeck. Schwitchenberg then crashed the net and buried the puck. The goal gave Marquette a 3-0 lead just six
minutes into the game, and it led to Durrbeck’s benching. The Golden Eagles put on an offensive clinic this past weekend against NIU, defeating the Huskies 11-0 and 11-2. The two wins pushed Marquette’s winning streak to three and moved them above .500 for the season. The 11-spot in the first game more than doubled the team’s total goals so far this season. “We needed a win,” Schwitchenberg said. “We had two losses on the season and we needed to step up big ... we were glad to get the score up.” “It was a good stat weekend for sure,” assistant coach Peter Schutt said. “It’s a good building for the rest of the year … we have to show the league and the other teams that
we’re here to play.” Marquette came right out of the gate Friday night, scoring its first goal just 12 seconds into the game. The Golden Eagles ended up scoring eight goals in the first period alone and scored two more in the second before getting another in the third. Over the course of the game, Marquette had nine different goal scorers and had 15 different skaters register points. The shutout was goalie John Foley’s first of the year. “It’s just nice to see their effort, to see they care about my shutout,” Foley said about his teammates. “People getting down, blocking shots. Just giving a lot of effort. In games like that, the effort goes down, so it’s nice to see things keep going.”
Saturday afternoon saw a more consistent scoring flow throughout the game, but Marquette still dominated the Huskies. The highlight reel of goals continued, especially Matt Poli’s. Poli picked off a pass at the blueline and ripped a shot from the top of the circles. He hit an NIU player in the leg, picked up the puck again and buried it through the goalie’s five-hole. His power-play goal gave the Golden Eagles a 3-1 lead and proved to be the game-winner. Freshman goaltender Alejandro Anderson started the second game for Marquette and faced some quality shots. The Huskies released the off-wing forward to try to generate some offense against the Golden Eagles, which led to two goals and a few more odd-man chances
than Marquette would have liked. However, the experience will prove valuable for the rest of the season. “To come out and see the level of play the team has, the talent that we have was really good,” Schutt said. Over the two games, Quinn, Schwitchenberg and Mitch Ellena led the team with five points each. Quinn had all five of his points in the opening game, while Schwitchenberg and Ellena spread their offense out over the two games. Marquette will face a tough test this weekend against rival Robert Morris University - Peoria. Both games will take place at Owens Ice Center in Peoria, Ill. “We’ve got to come out ready,” Switchenberg said. “They’re going to be coming for us.”

Women start Big East play 2-0 Victories against Creighton, Villanova kick off five-peat quest By Kyle Doubrava
kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu
Marquette closed out a grueling stretch of matches with convincing road wins Thursday at Creighton and Sunday at Villanova. The Golden Eagles, who played four games over nine days, used the help of freshman Liz Bartels’ game-winning goal in the team’s 2-1 win over Creighton and received its lone goal from junior Mady Vicker in a 1-0 decision against the Wildcats. Beginning the Big East schedule with two solid road wins is the confidence Marquette needs to further establish its conference dominance. “It sends a message to the other teams, especially being in the position we are and being the previous Big East champs,” sophomore goalkeeper Amanda Engel said. “We have a lot to live up to. I think coming out and getting these two wins definitely helped us make a statement.” Creighton and Marquette had not met in nearly 17 years before
Thursday’s match. The Golden Eagles struck first when senior midfielder Cara Jacobson scored in the 14th minute, yet the Bluejays evened the match on an unassisted corner kick in the 44th minute, rattling Marquette’s cage entering the second half. The Omaha, Neb., native Bartels would not hold her heroics back for long. Senior Vanessa Legault-Cordisco fed Bartels a pass 10 yards from the net and the freshman drilled it in for the score in the 57th minute. The Golden Eagles outshot the Bluejays 26-4. Engel attributed that to the pace the team plays at and the possibility that Creighton was not prepared for a team of Marquette’s caliber. “The teams that are new to the league have a different style of play than we’re used to,” Engel said. “We’re used to all the East coast teams, which are very physical and work the full 90 minutes and don’t give up.” Coach Markus Roeders was satisfied with the result even though Marquette had several opportunities to put the match out of reach. “We possessed well and had a couple of really good chances early but only sprung the 1-0 lead,” Roeders told GoMarquette.com. “Credit goes to our squad for the focus and energy in the second half after
Creighton tied the score.” Villanova, a more familiar opponent for Marquette, proved a more difficult obstacle than the Golden Eagles hoped for. Fresh off a win over nationally ranked Butler, the Wildcats did a more efficient job of containing Marquette’s offense than Creighton did. The Golden Eagles managed 14 shots and their only goal came in the 13th minute from Vicker. Villanova had a chance to tie the game in the 86th minute when it won a penalty kick. For Engel, who made the save to preserve the shutout, it’s those pressure moments that show her true ability. “I was a little bit nervous at first,” Engel said. “I just kind of calmed myself down and didn’t let it get to me. I didn’t focus on the precedence. I focused on me and what I needed to do to be able to make the save I needed to make and keep the team ahead.” Marquette is an impressive 39-3-3 in the Big East since 2009, and it will look for its next win this Thursday against St. John’s at Valley Fields, where Marquette has gone unbeaten in 15 consecutive matches. “As a team we’ll work on coming out and being prepared for the whole 90 minutes and staying in tune to be ready to play,” Engel said.

Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl a dream scenario
Patrick Leary The NFL season is only four weeks old, but the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks already seem destined for a showdown in Super Bowl XLVII. And boy, what a game that would be. In one corner stands the class of the AFC, perhaps the greatest offense the NFL has ever seen. Through four games, 37-yearold Peyton Manning has thrown 16 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. Let that sink in for a moment. One of the best quarterbacks of all time is just now playing the best football of his career. Don’t believe me? Sports Illustrated’s Peter King had a chart in his Monday Morning Quarterback column that detailed the three best four-game stretches of Manning’s career. His previous best stretch came in 2004, when he completed 74.6 percent of his passes for 1,170 yards, 15 touchdowns, three interceptions and a quarterback rating of 133.5. In the first four games of this season, 10 years later, Manning has completed 75 percent of his passes for 1,470 yards, the aforementioned 16 touchdown and zero picks and a rating of 138.0. Those numbers are simply staggering. Manning can credit some of that to his brilliant four-headed monster of wide receivers. With Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker outside, Wes Welker in the slot and Julius Thomas at tight end, Manning has the best receiving core he’s ever played with and the best corps in the pass-heavy 2013 NFL.

offensive weapons, the Broncos have scored 179 points (nearly 45 points per game) and have outscored their opponents by 88. But how would this vaunted offense fare against the so-called “Legion of Boom” that makes up the Seahawks’ secondary? Seattle has a four-headed monster of its own at the back end of their defense, with cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner and safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. With the exception of Thomas, each one stands at least 6-foot3. They are fast, physical and do anything and everything to get their hands on the ball. Throw in Seattle’s rejuvenated pass rush, and Manning and Co. could face a stiff test if the two teams were to meet. The Broncos best path to the Super Bowl is pretty simple. They have the personnel to outscore any team that stands in their way. The Seahawks can make the Super Bowl because they find ways to win close games. On Sunday, they pulled out a vintage win on the road in Houston. Trailing 20-3 late in the third quarter, Russell Wilson put the paddles to the chest of the anemic Seattle offense and led the team back to within a touchdown. Then Sherman did his game-breaker thing, intercepting a horrendous Matt Schaub pass and returning it 58 yards for the tying score. The Seahawks would go on to win in overtime on a 45-yard field goal. The Super Bowl is still a whole 18 weeks away, but this potential clash of the titans will keep fans drooling until then.

Volleyball opens Big East with win over DePaul Bailey (29), Barber (18) both set new career-highs in kills
By Patrick Leary
patrick.leary@marquette.edu
On the road for their first game of the conference season, the Marquette women’s volleyball team faced its second straight five-set match. Yet again, the team dug deep and pulled out a victory, knocking off DePaul 26-28, 25-23, 25-18, 25-27, 15-9 Saturday to go to 1-0 in the new Big East. “Our team is really starting to get our grittiness from
practice,” said redshirt freshman middle hitter Meghan Niemann. “We’ve been having some really tough competitive practices that are bringing that out in all of us. We have a more go-getter feel and really get after it in the fifth set.” Coach Bond Shymansky felt differently about this win than he did about Marquette’s narrow five-set victory over Illinois State at the Al McGuire Center Wednesday. He commended his team for bearing down to win in its opponent’s gym. “We’re clearly prepared at this point to be in tight situations and still play good volleyball,” he said. “On the road it’s extra difficult. DePaul had a nice crowd and they are on a
hot streak. They team hit a seawere playing son-best .387. with a lot more “Finally, it’s confidence than starting to all we were at that click and all point … we were come together able to find an where we can extra gear.” get confidence,” The statistics Niemann said. from the game “(Elizabeth) were staggeris dishing out ing.

players step up when we need them to, even when there’s a lull in performance across the net,” Shymansky said. “Ideally, what we want to have is for everyone to hit well and everyone to have the confidence to get kills in those moments.” Niemann enjoys being a part of the offensive rotation, where each hitter can lead the team on any given night. “It’s a really cool experience,” she said. “We’ve had a different kill leader almost every game … it’s been great to see that distributed through almost every hitter on the court.” That rotation has been recently bolstered by Shymansky’s insertion of Barber into the second outside hitter spot in place of sophomore Erin Lehman. At points in Saturday’s victory, Barber provided an unstoppable force from the left side to counteract Bailey and junior right side hitter Lindsey Gosh. Shymansky credits that immediate improvement to her international experience before college. “Nele is unflappable,” he said. “She has played in bigger, tighter, more difficult situations than this. Playing for her country, playing in international tournaments against other country’s top teams. Playing against professional teams when she was with the German junior national team … it doesn’t faze her, it doesn’t bother her. That steadiness plays a big part the longer the match goes.” Shymansky hopes Barber’s steadiness will become infectious, as consistency will play a major role in Marquette’s Big East title hopes. “I think we could have won 3-0 as easily as we could have lost 3-0 in that match,” he said. “It was tight. I like that our group is finding a way to stay composed even when the moments are tight.”
