He said he is hopeful that this won’t be an issue. “At this point, I just hope we’re allowed to keep the name, or I’ll make some adjustments that will make it easy to change without being disturbed,” Gatto said. Gatto’s wife, Caroline, said she had not heard back from the attorneys since Friday’s meeting, but told the California chain their restaurants’ names are not similar. “We’ve responded once and what I said was we don’t even have the same name,” Caroline Gatto said. “We’re not the
Broken Yolk Cafe. Our trademark name is the Broken Yolk Restaurant and Sandwich Shoppe.” Caroline Gatto said her restaurants were not the only ones with potential lawsuits with the California Broken Yolk, which has 11 different locations scattered throughout the state. “I’ve gotten other calls from people around the country and they’re doing this to other people as well,” Caroline Gatto said. “Somebody from New Hampshire called me, so we aren’t the only people.” Marquette’s Broken Yolk restaurants, which each seat
With the goal of teaching students healthy ways to deal with stress, Marquette Student Government and the Counseling Center brought five therapy dogs to the Alumni Memorial Union Monday afternoon as students prepare for finals. The event, part of the Counseling Center’s “Take a Break: Finals Edition” effort, gave students the opportunity to relieve pre-finals worries by drinking coffee, eating cupcakes and petting the trained therapy dogs provided by Health Heelers, a local nonprofit organization. “Research has shown that the companionship of animals can relieve stress,” said Christopher Daood, assistant director of the Counseling Center, in an email. “Hanging out with a friendly animal reminds (students) of meaningful pet relationships, and this can help keep the stress of finals in perspective.” In addition to the therapy dogs, students received handouts and were given tips about better time management, sleep and self-care. “There are a number of other things that will help manage stress, like staying hydrated, getting plenty of sleep, reducing or eliminating alcohol and drug use and exercising,” Daood said. Therapy dogs will return to campus Thursday from 4-6 p.m. in the Raynor Library entrance and the private dining room in McCormick Hall. With high expectations and demands put on students during finals week, some students said they previously observed or experienced high levels of stress that border on unhealthy. “I think finals stress is a problem, especially when you have a bunch of harder classes and they’re all overlapping,” said Cece Ford, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences. “Some people have lighter schedules, but I definitely see (finals) really getting to people.” Finals stress can drive students to adapting unhealthy habits. “I would say people get pretty

Jim Gatto, owner of the Broken Yolk restaurants on Marquette’s campus, met with his attorneys Friday afternoon to discuss plans for combating a potential lawsuit from the Broken Yolk Cafe, a restaurant chain located in California. The Tribune originally reported Nov. 27 the Milwaukeebased Broken Yolk may face a
suit from the California-based restaurant over trademark and naming rights. Gatto said he is not trying to compete with fellow restaurants on a national level and he won’t rule out changing the name if it is the only way to save his restaurant from the suit. “We’re a tiny little outlet in the Midwest,” Gatto said. “I’ll turn around and change the name to the Broken Egg. If I change the name to ‘Bro Yo at Campustown,’ it’s identifiable to us here at Marquette and people across the country would have no idea what it is, and that’s OK with me.” Gatto said he and his lawyers communicated with the
