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

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

Broken Yolk may consider name change Local restaurant seeks legal options in face of possible name lawsuit By Matt Barbato
matthew.barbato@marquette.edu
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

News in Brief High Court declines Internet tax ruling
The Supreme Court decided not to rule on sales taxes for online retailers Monday, meaning purchases from companies like Amazon.com will be more expensive in some states than in others. The Supreme Court declined to accept a constitutional challenge from Amazon and Overstock. com regarding a 2008 New York law that would allow the state to collect sales taxes on online purchases, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The decision comes in the midst of efforts from federal and state legislatures to pass a law that would allow states to compel outof-state retailers to collect sales taxes, which the Supreme Court deemed unconstitutional without congressional intervention. Under current law, states may only collect sales taxes on online purchases if the retailer has physical presence in the state where the tax is being levied. Amazon will open a distribution center in Kenosha next year, making Wisconsin the 14th state able to collect sales taxes from purchases made by residents, the Tribune reported in October. The Senate passed the Marketplace Fairness Act in May 2013 that would expand states’ ability to collect taxes on outof-state retailers, which is stalled in the House Committee on the Judiciary. Amazon expressed support for the Marketplace Fairness Act when the Senate passed the bill, The Seattle Times reported. A spokesman from the online company, however, said Amazon opposes a state-by-state piecemeal approach to the issue, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
MKE homicide count reaches 97 A 21-year-old man was shot to death on Thanksgiving evening, raising the 2013 Milwaukee homicide count to 97, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Milwaukee homicides so far are close to 6 percent higher than the 92 homicides

recorded in 2012. The 2013 count surpassed the previous year Nov. 19, when two Milwaukee citizens were killed, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Despite the recent rise in murders, Milwaukee experienced a downward trend in homicides over the past two decades. The most violent year in the past two decades was 1991, in which Milwaukee police reported 165 homicides.

move a pet chimpanzee named Tommy, which it alleges is being held against his will by his owners in Gloversville, N.Y., to an animal sanctuary. Tommy’s owners said they rescued the chimpanzee from a bad situation and he is currently well taken cared of with a spacious cage and plenty of toys. The NhRP called for the animal’s release based on the concept of habeas corpus, which states that a person cannot be detained without seeing a judge. The group’s leader, Steven Wise, compared Tommy’s plight to those of slaves in the 1800s and said being human is not essential to having legal rights, including the right to not be imprisoned. The group plans to file an additional three lawsuits later this week in an attempt to free three additional chimpanzees, two of which are currently being used for research.
Amazon may send goods by drone Amazon.com is testing a delivery system that would use unmanned drones to deliver packages within 30 minutes of purchase, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed during an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Sunday. The small, autonomous aircrafts would deliver packages from one of Amazon’s 96 distribution centers to the homes of customers. The drones would be able to deliver packages of up to five pounds, which Bezos said makes up about 86 percent of the Amazon marketplace. During the interview, Bezos said the system, called “Amazon Prime Air,” would be operational as soon as Amazon works out regulations for the drones. He said the system could be up and running within four to five years, though it must gain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration in the meantime.

I don’t know why this is such a nemesis for them.” In terms of changing the name, Caroline Gatto said she and her husband have not considered changing the name of their restaurants up to this point, but said they may have to eventually. “I feel strongly that we don’t have the same name, I just don’t know the technicality of how many words in a sentence you can’t use because somebody else has trademarked it,” Caroline Gatto said. “We have not considered changing the name, but I guess at some point you have to.” Jim Gatto said he expects to hear back from the Broken Yolk Cafe and his lawyers later this week and will act accordingly, depending on how the California chain decides to move forward.

Students react to final mid-year commencement Future winter MU graduates encouraged to walk in the spring By Caroline Roers
caroline.roers@marquette.edu
With Marquette’s final winter commencement approaching, upcoming graduates are expressing mixed feelings about the decision to eliminate the mid-year ceremony as well as confusion over how the new commencement schedule applies to graduates of specific colleges. The decision to eliminate December commencement was announced in April by the Marquette Leadership Council and the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate. According to an April news brief, the
university made the decision in order to focus its energy and resources on supporting the May commencement ceremony at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The last winter commencement will take place Dec. 15, and students are unsure whether the benefits of eliminating the ceremony truly outweigh the costs. Andrea Bellovary will be one of the students graduating this December from the College of Arts & Sciences. She said she is excited about graduating, but many of her friends chose to walk in the May commencement. “I only know of three people who are graduating and walking in December, so a lot of my close friends chose to walk in May or are finishing their programs and walking in May,” Bellovary said. “But I really like the option to walk in December because it is right after I completed my undergraduate.”
Bellovary said she thinks the December graduation was a great option for students who wanted to move past undergraduate years and onto their post undergraduate careers. “I do not know where I will be in May, so if my only option was to walk in May, I don’t think that would have been a good option,” she said. “Especially for those students who will start full-time work positions after they graduate, coming back to walk in a delayed graduation ceremony may be inconvenient and odd for them.” Rafael Torres, who is also graduating in December from the College of Arts & Sciences, expressed similar concerns over traveling back to Milwaukee months after graduating. “If they live far away, then why would they come back?” Torres said. “Or if they were from close,

they may have already started their full time job. I think most people just want to finish their undergraduate and move on with their lives.” The decision was made in consultation with the University Leadership Council and the executive committee of the Academic Senate, with Marquette Student Government also briefed on the future of Marquette’s commencement activities. In response, Sam Schultz, MUSG President and a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said MUSG passed legislation to cut its senior speaker involvement with winter commencement. Schultz said he believes cutting the winter commencement was partly for financial reasons. “I think a potential downfall is that it will (theoretically) be more difficult to get already graduated seniors to come back for a spring
ceremony (if they wish to walk),” Schultz said in an email. “However, I would much rather the university cut this ceremony instead of make wider cuts elsewhere.” The specific revisions that were made to the policy include that undergraduate and master’s students and health sciences professional students who complete their degree requirements in the summer or fall term may participate in the May commencement the same calendar year or the May commencement the following calendar year. Doctoral students, students in the School of Dentistry and Law school students are also encouraged to return for the May commencement. However, doctoral students and law students who graduate after the May commencement will have hooding ceremonies hosted by their respective colleges in December.

freaked out (about finals),” said Ashley Hockers, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences. “I know some people who stay up at really late hours just so they can study.” University-provided resources exist for students to use if they experience unmanageable stress. “If stress feels like it’s getting overwhelming, get support from others,” Daood said. “If talking with friends and/or trying self-care strategies isn’t enough, come to the Counseling Center.” Tyler Tucky, MUSG Program vice president and a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said MUSG’s Program Board is dedicated to reducing stress brought on by finals and midterm weeks. “As far as I am aware, we have not conducted any surveys on student stress, but if that is a continual concern, as a part of MUSG’s mission we will seek to address that issue,” Tucky said in an email. “This semester, Program Board is working on making the therapy dogs a destination.

It’s hard to be stressed when you’re smiling, and (I’m) seeing a lot of smiles today.” The Counseling Center will sponsor three stressreduction events during the spring 2014 semester.

matthew.kulling@marquette.edu
Following three incidents recovering false identification on campus in the past week and a half, the Department of Public Safety continues to caution students about the dangers of possessing and using false identification. Russell Shaw, the interim director of DPS, said although his department is aware many students possess false ID cards, it is not possible to go after everyone. “We certainly see that a lot students purchase fake IDs, either they had them in high school or they purchase them when they’re coming to college,” Shaw said. “Obviously it’s hard to determine who has fake IDs because we only know when we locate one or find one, so it’s hard to quantify it.” Shaw said DPS retrieves a
lot of IDs because students appear intoxicated when officers see them. He also said students often pull out a fake ID instead of his or her Marquette ID when checking into residence halls. Another common way DPS retrieves IDs is when students say they lose their wallet with a false ID inside. Shaw added that because of a Wisconsin state statute against misrepresentation of identity, it is DPS policy to fill out a referral slip to give to the Milwaukee Police Department when a false ID is found. Shaw also said that while the daily log DPS reports say the students in the previous three reports were caught in Parking Structure One, students are not actually being caught with false forms of identification there, but rather students find the IDs and return them to the DPS office, which is located in structure one. The daily log just has to have a location attached to it. Sean Stevens, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, said as an underage college student, he does not think it is necessary to have a false ID. “The problem with fake IDs
is the amount of trouble you can get into for just having one,” Stevens said. “Using it can get you into more trouble. I know a lot of people without fake IDs, and it doesn’t seem to get in the way of having fun on the weekends.” According to the DPS 2013 Annual Fire and Safety Report, those caught with alcohol or false identification can receive a $500 fine for a first offense, mandatory participation in a supervised work program, suspension or revocation of the offender’s driver’s license. Similarly, penalties for serving alcohol to minors can carry a fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment for up to nine months. MPD caught 105 Marquette students in an April raid at a Victor’s Nightclub, a bar about a mile away from campus, ending with all but two students cooperating with officers. At this incident, students were asked to turn over their false forms of identification and provide their Marquette identification numbers. MPD asked for the help of DPS in taking down students’ information.

Ring in the holidays with 7 Milwaukee Christmas festivities By Claire Nowak
claire.nowak@marquette.edu
As the end of the semester draws near, Milwaukee is lighting up with holiday festivities to help release that finals week look of panic and ease you into a month-long break full of seasonal cookies, lights and no exams. We’ve picked some of the city’s most promising events to usher you into the spirit of the holidays. CANDY CANE LANE These West Allis residents know how to do holiday lights right. Every December, more than 300 homes decorate for Candy Cane Lane, a spectacle of lights, inflatable snowmen and other lawn ornaments that would put the Griswold house to shame. Visitors are invited to walk or drive through this winter wonderland and meet Santa himself. The participating neighborhood is located on Oklahoma Avenue. Though there is no entrance fee, any donations will be given to the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Christmas Fund. SLICE OF ICE Itching to get out your skates? Slice of Ice at Red Arrow Park is now open for the season. Located on Water Street across

from the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, this park offers skaters a quality outdoor rink in the middle of downtown Milwaukee. Rent a pair of skates for $8 or bring your own and skate for free. Starbucks is conveniently located inside the warming house for anyone looking for a much-needed cup of coffee or cocoa. For those staying in town over break, Slice of Ice opens at 11 a.m. daily, even with limited hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so you can start your own ice-skating holiday traditions. CARRIAGE RIDES Imagine riding through Milwaukee in a white horse-drawn carriage, looking at the Christmas lights as snow gently falls from a dark December sky. Reserving a carriage ride through the streets of Milwaukee may make that storybook vision come to life. The drivers even
wear old-timey top hats to complete the scene. Their wagons can hold up to 12 people, so you can bring the whole gang for a ride through downtown or keep it to two for that grand romantic gesture. Half-hour rides are $50, while an hour costs $90. The carriages can pick up passengers at the Pfister, Hyatt or Intercontinental hotels, departing at 6 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on weekends. Reservations are recommended closer to Christmas. THE BEST OF MILWAUKEE SLEDDING Admit it – you love sledding now as much as you did when you were eight. Luckily, Milwaukee has enough slopes so you don’t have to resort to the old Marquette standby of sliding down snowy stairs on a cafeteria tray. Whitnall Park in Hales Corners is highly recommended by locals, mostly for its

massive 400-to 500-foot long sledding hill. The park also has an additional toboggan run and a club house for warming up and drying off. Wauwatosa’s Currie Park Golf Course’s hill is not terribly steep, but runs a long way without any fear of obstacles. The most intense sledders, however, will want to test out St. Mary’s Hill. Located on Lake Drive near Colectivo, this hill is an impressive 400-to 500-feet long tilted at a 40-degree angle toward the bottom. As long as you mind the parking lot located at the end of the run, you can spend countless hours racing friends and putting off that dreaded studying.
CHRISTMAS CAROL No holiday season is complete without a healthy dose of Charles Dickens. The Milwaukee Repertory Theater is currently showing its 38th edition

The Milwaukee Repertory Theater will present its 38th traditional production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” at the Pabst Theater.
of “A Christmas Carol,” which will run until Dec. 24 at the Pabst Theater. The show, directed by Aaron Posner, is the second longest running rendition in the country. Posner joined the production team last season with his own vision for the performance, one that focuses on the message of love and redemption. His Scrooge, played by the returning Christopher Donahue and the rest of the gifted cast make this presentation of a classic tale all the more heartwarming. Tickets start at $20, but discounts are available to students. THE NUTCRACKER The Milwaukee Ballet Company invites you to enter a world of dancing snowflakes and sugarplum fairies with its annual performance of Tchaikovsky’s most popular ballet from Dec. 14-27 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Spectators will watch the classic story unfold on stage as young Clara’s precious Christmas nutcracker comes to life to fight the Mouse King and take Clara on a journey through the land of sweets. With Tchaikovsky’s unmistakable score and impeccable choreography by Milwaukee Ballet Artistic Director Michael Pink, this production is a holiday spectacle that is surely worth staying an extra day in Milwaukee after finals. Tickets start at $40. CAROLS AT COLECTIVO Caroling is an essential part of the holiday season, but you’ve never gone caroling like this. Saturday, Florentine Opera Studio Artists will perform fanfavorite holiday tunes and classic seasonal selections at local Colectivo locations. At 11 a.m., carolers will be at Colectivo Bay View on Kinnickinnic Ave., followed by a later performance at Colectivo Humbolt at 1:30 p.m. You know you’re going to need to haul up somewhere for a study session, so why not spend it with a cup of hot cocoa or famous Colectivo coffee and sing along with these renowned artists? Both performances are free and only a bus-ride away from campus.

CHALLENGE Science has long attempted to solve life’s great mysteries. Where did we come from? Is there extra-terrestrial life? Why are there no pigeons in Milwaukee? So in the name of science, the Trib’s arts and entertainment researchers have at last solved the most important debate of our modern age: Which campus cheese curd is the yummiest? We enlisted the help of our lab-rat colleagues in a blind taste test for what may be the most important discovery in Marquette drunk food science history.
To decide this age-old debate we asked our study’s 15 subjects to rank each curd from best to worst. Each first place ranking was assigned two points, second place recieved one and third got nada. As researchers we regret the exclusion of one “Marquette Gyros.” Apparently they are closed on Mondays, the bastards. Photo by Maddy Kennedy/madeline.kennedy@marquette.edu

Pre-finals study day would help alleviate stress
Illustration by Ellery Fry/ellery.fry@marquette.edu
Our view: To relieve students’ stress during finals week, the university should institute a study day and ban all tests, essays and projects the week before final exams. It’s the Tuesday before finals. You had a chemistry exam yesterday, have a history paper due tomorrow, an English paper due Thursday and of course your group project for your accounting class is due Friday. You’re also about to find out that the English paper due Thursday is supposed to be eight pages, not the original six. This is all on top of your four exams next week. Many universities have study days or reading weeks built into their schedules. These are days without classes in which students catch up on reading and papers as well as meet with professors and other students to study for their upcoming exams. In a 2011 Tribune article, former provost John Pauly said that Marquette did not have a study break because of time constraints. Yet, other universities have instituted study days without a problem. Georgetown University has two study days, the Monday and Tuesday before exams begin. Granted, its exams continue through Dec. 19, but its semester also starts a few days later. University Wisconsin–Milwaukee also has a study day the Friday before their exams. Again, its fall semester ends a week later than Marquette’s, but students there also start after Labor Day, more than a week after Marquette begins. To their credit, many universities in Europe use reading weeks. While a whole week dedicated to reading and studying may be out of the question for Marquette, other American universities have aptly demonstrated that Marquette’s schedule is
not incompatible with the implementation of a study day. The university should strongly consider introducing a day for students to study and de-stress, a problem that is exacerbated by the mounting workload in the week preceding finals week. Marquette has no official policy in its handbook that prohibits teachers from assigning tests, projects or papers for the week before finals. The College of Arts & Sciences’ Faculty Guide to College Policies states, “no major exams may be scheduled in the week preceding Final Exam Week.” This policy should be an official university policy and encompass not only “major exams,” but also all major papers and projects. To students, it seems that professors often have a tendency to forget that their class isn’t the only one students take, or think their class is the most important. If the university cannot give students a free day to catch up on reading and studying, at the very least it should give students a less stressful and chaotic week before finals. The university obviously understands that students suffer from high levels of stress both before and during finals as evidenced by this year’s Take a Break: Finals Edition. The program is sponsored by The Counseling Center and Marquette Student Government and seeks to help relieve students’ stress by bringing puppies to campus. In order to allow students more time to study for finals and to prevent them from over stressing about exams that, in the large scheme of things, are relatively unimportant, the university should initiate both a study day and a policy against tests, essays and projects the week before finals. To do so would better serve students, allowing education to encompass the whole person, both mind and body.

Helen Hillis It was recently brought to my attention that many Marquette students have a strong dislike for Pick ‘n Save. I gave up on shopping there last fall when the strawberries I purchased tasted like rubber. As a result, I formed a new relationship with Trader Joe’s. In an attempt to bring the rest of the Marquette community onto my side, I will publicly declare my love for the specialty grocery store. My dear, sweet Trader Joe’s, I’ve been meaning to write you for a while. There are some things I need to tell you. Things I just can’t keep to myself anymore. After our rendezvous last weekend, I knew I had to say something, anything, to let you know how I feel. I love you, and I don’t care who knows it. You first caught my eye a few years ago when I wanted to pick up a few snacks for my dorm room. On a cold, rainy Wisconsin night, I stopped in your parking lot. It was only supposed to be a five-minute trip. I laugh now at how naive I was. TJ, when I first walked into your perfectly manageable-sized store, I knew my life had changed for the better. Your produce might be slightly overpriced, but you make up for it with all your Trader Joe’s original goodies. My favorite thing about you is that you always surprise me. I think to myself, how is TJ going to rock my world today? Will it be a new latte mix? Perhaps a jar of fig butter? Maybe it’ll be a new cider
flavor. No matter what I’m thinking, I always underestimate you. I don’t need cookie butter. My wallet doesn’t need cookie butter. My waistline doesn’t need cookie butter. But when I buy cookie butter, and your cashier asks if I want a spoon at the checkout line, I know that my soul needs cookie butter. I know why you put those 49-cent fruit rolls at your checkout. You lure in the young sons and daughters of yoga moms. But guess what? It works on 21 year olds too. And your pumpkin products – oh, how you slay me with those pumpkin goodies. It’s as though you want me to love no one else but you. And you know what? It works. TJ, your pumpkin butter is the nectar of the gods. That stuff could cure Aaron Rodgers’ collarbone. Your pumpkin waffle mix made me 10 new friends at a brunch last weekend. I’d sell my first child for the ability to eat your pumpkin macaroons 365 days a year. TJ, the beauty of our relationship is that we don’t care what people think of us. Sure, some people might argue that I’m dependent on you, that I don’t know how to be happy without you. They say its “not normal” to have a mini shrine to you in my kitchen cabinets. These people don’t understand why I’m so in love with you, but you understand. You know how happy you make me. I keep telling myself I’d be OK living in a different city without you. I’m lying. I’ve looked up your locations in every place I’ve considered moving to after graduation. Long distance would never work for us. I love you, TJ. I always will. XOXO Helen Hillis is a senior studying international affairs and Spanish.

Marquette needs ban on political discrimination Recently, the University of Colorado banned discrimination based on political affiliation, and Marquette needs to do the same. We attend a Jesuit institution where cura personalis is preached. We all know that cura personalis means to care for the “whole person.” I’m quite grateful for this Jesuit value being instilled in me at Marquette. It has opened up my eyes and allowed me to see things with a more balanced and appropriate view. That said, isn’t part of the cura personalis identity at Marquette to teach students how to think, rather than what to think? I won’t name names, but we’ve all had a professor or two at Marquette who clearly hold certain views and let it affect their teaching and grading habits. Many of us dealt with it in high school too, conservative and liberal. Facts are facts and should be presented as such. Opinions should not be presented as fact, nor should they be presented as generally accepted principles. At the same time, not all professors let their personal biases affect their classes, and I appreciate that. Who wouldn’t? I foresee the overarching question professors would bring forward is a bylaw to
be presented by MUSG or the university: “What about my freedom of speech?” My answer would be: “What about MY freedom of speech, thought, expression, etc.?” Your rights end where mine begin because, after all, I and other students at Marquette are the ones paying for the majority of your salaries. I have nothing against professors or teachers. Education would not be possible without them, and I personally thank you, professors and teachers, for doing what you do because it’s noble and your studies are intriguing – just be fair. I call on MUSG and the university to consider a ban on political discrimination, conservative or liberal, because any argument against protecting the basic freedoms that many of our friends and relatives have fought for would be illogical. Cura personalis is a philosophy on teaching set in stone. It’s no one’s place to change its definition.

Paul Walker’s death no laughing matter
Eric Oliver I’m not sure when I first understood what death was. It could’ve been when my goldfish, the late, great Michael Jordan, died, or when I found my hamster “napping” in his cage. Either way, I was devastated. Fast forward some 15 years after dealing with many losses and I can still say death is never easy. That’s why when I went on Twitter the other night and saw that Fast and Furious star Paul Walker died, I was a little upset. Not because I was a huge fan of Walker, but mostly because of the various tasteless jokes being made at his expense. His career consisted of making a bunch of movies about racing cars and he died in a car crash. It’s ironic, but it’s certainly not funny. Walker was one of the good guys of Hollywood. He was a dedicated family man and a genuinely good person. There shouldn’t be any jokes made about his life or his death. The people making the jokes didn’t know Walker, and I can assure you the people who did know him are hardly in a joking mood. That said I have to play devil’s advocate. Paul Walker wasn’t a major star. He did act
in a lot of movies, but he didn’t have the status that Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks have. Why do we care so much? People die everyday, and most deaths go unnoticed by the media. Murder, genocide, suicide, AIDS, cancer, car crashes; these deaths occur in record numbers, but when was the last time someone took a moment to talk about one of them? The general attitude toward death needs to change. First, we have to remember that when someone dies, somebody else is having the worst day of their life. Paul Walker was loved, and he left behind a family that now has to pick up the pieces and move on without him. That’s never an easy task to do regardless of how much support you have. It doesn’t need to be televised or tweeted. Second, we need to raise awareness about the problems that are rapidly wiping out portions of society. Let’s stop focusing on the individual occurrences and start talking about the problems that our society faces. We can’t fix a major problem if all we do is treat the minor ones. People die everyday from various causes. If we try to fight all of them individually, it’s a cause that will surely fail. But if we make moves to fight them collectively and succeed, the individual problems would no longer be problems. So goodbye, Paul Walker. Your movies were always entertaining, and I know your family will miss you greatly. I hope for your family’s sake that the media lets them find the peace they are looking for.

Thank you, Jon Dooley for service to university As the holidays approach and the semester wraps up, we are encouraged to reflect on what we’re thankful for. I’d like to invite the Marquette community to give thanks for a tireless champion of students who is leaving Marquette at the end of this semester. After 15 years in the Office of Student Development, Dr. Jon Dooley has accepted the position of assistant vice president for student life and dean of campus life at Elon University in North Carolina. While you may not have known Jon personally, his passion for creating an inclusive, intentional community on Marquette’s campus has surely touched you in more ways than you probably know. During Jon’s tenure at Marquette, he has impacted countless students. Jon was a driving force behind Late Night Marquette, which brought campus to life with regular activities on weekend nights. Late Night Marquette has grown from a few events (including bingo!) in the AMU into a bona fide Marquette tradition. Jon nurtured and expanded the Students Taking Active Roles program for first-year students. He shepherded the Women’s Leadership Conference and the Student Leadership Summit into the annual events they are today. Since receiving his doctorate at Marquette in 2007, Jon has made a difference in the classroom through his courses in the College of Education. While Jon has impacted many people, perhaps the group he has shaped the most is Marquette Student Government. MUSG was probably the source of the vast majority of Jon’s headaches over the
past 15 years. MUSG leaders have challenged Jon, told him he just didn’t understand and made him stay for innumerable hours at Thursday night senate meetings when he could have been at home with his family. Throughout it all, Jon would regularly remind senators, Program Board members and many MUSG presidents that they were there to serve their fellow students – to make life better at Marquette. Through his thoughtful advising, unending patience, and genuine care and concern for his students, Jon taught many young leaders at Marquette invaluable life lessons. It was my privilege to work for Jon and to have him as my advisor through MUSG – first as a senator and later as MUSG President. I am forever thankful for my Marquette experience. Without question, Jon was the teacher who had the greatest impact on my life. Jon challenged me to go beyond what I thought I was capable of. He gave me confidence without giving me false praise. He called me out on my shortcomings in a way that let me know he thought I had more to give. Jon generously shared his time and his talent with me and with so many others. Jon did all of this without expecting a thank you. Dr. Jon Dooley was right about one thing: it’s all about choices. Please make the choice to say thanks to a man who has devoted himself to making Marquette a better place. Thank you, Jon. Alex Hermanny is a former president of Marquette Student Government and a 2006 alumnus of the College of Arts & Sciences.

Golden Eagles beat Butler, Creighton to win Big East tourney By Patrick Leary
patrick.leary@marquette.edu
In October, the Marquette women’s volleyball team walked into the loud, intimidating atmosphere of D.J. Sokol Arena in Omaha, Neb. and were swept soundly by Creighton. Determined not to make the same mistake twice, the topseeded Golden Eagles (24-5) played two matches of solid volleyball to knock off No. 4 Butler and No. 2 Creighton in a pair of four-set matches to win the Big East Tournament title. “We’re so proud of our accomplishments this regular season and to back up the regular season championship with a tournament trophy was great,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “It has been such a special year for us thus far.” The team’s experienced leader, senior libero Julie Jeziorowski, viewed the title as the result of four years of hard work and dedication. “From a senior’s perspective, it’s something we’ve worked four years for,” Jeziorowski said. “It’s something we’ve always wanted. We’ve always been so close. We always got to taste it but never actually got to eat the whole meal. It’s always so hard. Now that we have it
and it’s ours, it’s an incredible feeling.” The Golden Eagles began their tournament title quest Friday when they defeated Butler in four sets (25-18, 14-25, 2522, 25-16). Jeziorowski powered Marquette with 29 digs, one off from her season-high. Freshman outside hitter Nele Barber led the team with 18 kills and hit .500 while senior setter Elizabeth Koberstein had 49 assists. “We knew they were going to fight tooth-and-nail,” said Koberstein, who was named Big East Player of the Year earlier in the week. “And they did. So maintaining our focus and maintaining our composure with that team especially was really important.” The Bulldogs smacked the Golden Eagles in the second set and forced them to make adjustments during the intermission in order to win the final two frames. “It’s all about adjustments,” Jeziorowski said. “We had a game plan going into the first set, it worked, they adjusted and did what they needed to do in the second set. We had that 10-minute break to re-adjust again, and we were a lot more resilient in that we could adjust for the last two games.” Marquette booked its ticket to the Big East final, where it faced host and No. 2 seed Creighton. The Golden Eagles faltered again in the second set, but eventually scored a convincing four-set victory (25-18,
25-27, 25-21, 25-16) to claim the title. Freshman outside hitter Autumn Bailey recorded a matchhigh 17 kills and Barber and redshirt freshman middle hitter Meghan Niemann added 16 and 15, respectively. As such, Koberstein racked up 56 assists and won the tournament’s most valuable player award. Jeziorowski totaled 27 digs and Bailey contributed 19 of her own. The team made yet another intermission adjustment to claim the important victory. “We felt we got a little mentally soft in our serve and pass game in the second set,” Shymansky said. “That’s what kept Creighton in it. That was our primary adjustment, doubling down on that mentality. We shifted a couple things with blocking and started attacking in different directions.” With the championship in hand and their RPI to No. 8, the Golden Eagles expected to receive one of the 16 protected seeds in the NCAA Tournament, which begins Thursday. The seed was not forthcoming, but Marquette drew a compelling first round matchup with Louisville, its old Big East rival, in Champaign, Ill. Friday. “It was such a bittersweet moment,” Jeziorowski said. “We wanted to host so bad, we wanted to see that number next to our name. When we saw Louisville, the first thing that came to mind was revenge.”
Senior libero Julie Jeziorowski had a huge weekend, recording 57 digs.

College Cup run ends at UVA Men cannot take advantage of early red card, lose 3-1 to Cavs By Andrew Dawson
andrew.dawson@marquette.edu
Despite a red card in the first minute of the game that forced Virginia to play with 10 men the Marquette men’s soccer team fell 3-1 to the Cavaliers and were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament. Marquette had just won its first NCAA Tournament game ever a week prior and less than a minute into the match, redshirt sophomore forward C. Nortey drew a foul that resulted in a red card for Virginia’s Matt Brown. However, with Virginia sitting back the remainder of the game, it was difficult for Marquette to muster chances. “Things were looking up as Virginia got a man sent off right away,” senior defender Eric Pothast said. “That was a boost for us right away, but I think Virginia battled, and I think they defended against us really well and then took their chances with their good attacking players.” A flurry of chances for the Golden Eagles, including one where four saves were needed in a span of about five seconds, had Marquette in control of the match. But the Cavaliers’ defense would have none of it and they operated a lethal counter
attack. In the 24th minute, the Cavaliers drew a handball on senior defender Paul Dillon that set up a dangerous free kick from 25 yards away. Virginia’s Scott Thomsen took the free kick and struck it over the wall, past a diving redshirt junior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon and into the net for the 1-0 lead. The goal depleted the traveling side’s momentum, and its form suffered for it. Passes were off target, and the defense looked lost during counter attacks heading into the locker room. Down by one at the half, Marquette needed to push the tempo in the second, but instead, the deficit grew. In the 47th minute, a missed assignment in the box left Virginia’s Darius Madison open to receive a cross that he volleyed in for the two-goal lead. With the season on the line, the team went into desperationmode while Virginia played conservatively and brought most of its players back. Even the center backs pushed up, which redshirt sophomore defender Axel Sjoberg took advantage of and sent a ball to Nortey, who slid one under the sprawling keeper to pull within one. But less the a minute later, trouble struck again as Dillon was beaten in the defensive third and fouled Marcus Salandy-Defour in the box giving Virginia a penalty kick. Lyon
dove, but the shot from Todd Wharton was out of reach and the lead was back to two. With more then 30 minutes left, Marquette fought to get back in the match, but the effort fell short and the historic season came to an end. “It was a bit of an uphill battle in a sense because we couldn’t get them out of their shell. It was what they call in boxing, ‘peek-a-boo boxing,’” coach Louis Bennett said. “We’re out, and that’s some hard medicine to take, but we will.” Though the season comes to an end, heads are held high for the program’s continuing progression toward becoming one of the nation’s top squads. It was a long road to make this program what it is, and this season was the culmination of hard work from the current squad and the players who set the table for this team. “Since I got here, the brand of soccer is just so much better,” senior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka said. “We owe a lot of that to our coaches and all the younger guys and all the older guys who came before us just buying into what coach had preached that was what made us grow.” There is a long break until the Blue and Gold hit the pitch again next season, but expectations will be high as this program continues to become a staple in college soccer.

Wooden Legacy provides answers about a few players offensive stability to play close games against elite defensive units like San Diego State.
Patrick Leary The Wooden Legacy tournament provided a truly mixed bag of results for the Marquette men’s basketball team this past weekend. The Golden Eagles finished second to No. 24 San Diego State but scored convincing victories against Cal State Fullerton and George Washington. In those three games, a few players showed promising or troubling signs for their individual success as the season wears on. 1. Jamil Wilson Wilson is consistently inconsistent. On any given night, the 6-foot-7 redshirt senior from Racine is equally capable of giving a dominant performance as he is a poor one. Take his three games in the Wooden Legacy as a prime example of his erratic play. Thursday vs. Fullerton: 24 points, 10-for-14 shooting, 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, nine rebounds, four assists. Generally awesome in all facets. Friday vs. George Washington: five points, 2-for-8 shooting, 1-for2 from beyond the arc, seven rebounds, four assists. Not a good shooting day, but contributed in other areas. Sunday vs. San Diego State: nine points, 4-for-10 shooting, 0-for4 from beyond the arc, three rebounds, one assist. Sure, he scored some, but a bad game overall, especially when he ran the point. Usually, by the time a player in Buzz Williams’ system gets to his senior year, he develops a consistency where you know what to expect from him night in and night out. Chris Otule and Davante Gardner embody that expectation. Jae Crowder and Darius JohnsonOdom did as well. With Wilson, it’s impossible to predict when he will assert himself and when he will disappear into the background. Marquette needs Wilson to show up every game to achieve the
2. Derrick Wilson If Jamil is consistently inconsistent, Derrick is simply consistent. This weekend, he took his game to a whole new level offensively. He put forth scoring efforts of six, nine and 11 points and totaled 11 rebounds and 12 assists in the contests. The question on most Marquette fans’ minds is why hasn’t this happened before? For context, Wilson averaged 0.6 points per game as a freshman and increased his average to 1.1 as a sophomore. He has averaged 5.5 points per game so far this season. In fact, he made more field goals in eight games this season than he did the entirety of last season in just under half of the minutes. Couple that with his defensive intensity that remains mostly unaffected by the new hand checking rules in college hoops, and Wilson is becoming the floor general Williams envisioned him as. 3. Jajuan Johnson/Deonte Burton OK, I cheated and put two here, but they both had similar weekends. Each freshman had a breakout game and was hardly noticeable in the other two. Johnson exploded offensively against Fullerton Thursday, scoring 18 points in 27 minutes and shooting 6-for-8 from the field, including 3-for-3 from long range. Similarly, Burton put Gotham on notice against San Diego State Sunday by scoring 15 points on 6-for-8 shooting and getting aggressive against a tough Aztecs defense. However, neither played a significant factor in the other two games in the tournament. Burton scored two points in his two non-breakout games, while Johnson completely shut off, not scoring at all after Thursday. If either of those two can find a consistent offensive game before Big East play begins, Marquette could get right back in the mix for a conference title.

Men fall short to San Diego State in Wooden final Wins over Fullerton, George Washington soured by loss Sunday By Kyle Doubrava
kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu
Marquette learned a valuable lesson this weekend in the Wooden Legacy: It’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish. After compiling impressive wins over Cal State Fullerton and George Washington in Southern California, Marquette fell in the tournament finals to San Diego State Sunday, 67-59. Senior Jamil Wilson paced the Golden Eagles with a careerhigh 24 points in the 86-66 win over Fullerton, while senior Davante Gardner and freshman
Jajuan Johnson each pitched in 18. Gardner netted 20 points in the 76-60 victory against George Washington. Senior Jake Thomas continued to improve with his long distance shooting, making three out of five 3-pointers and scoring 13 points. Marquette faced a San Diego State program that qualified for the NCAA Tournament for four consecutive seasons and whose only loss of the year is a ninepoint defeat to No. 6 Arizona. Marquette’s offense heading into the tournament was a concern for players and fans alike. The Golden Eagles scored a mere 35 points in a loss to Ohio State Nov. 16 and could only muster 58 points in a home win over New Hampshire Nov. 11. It appeared Marquette had its problems resolved, shooting 50 percent from the field and 48
percent from behind the arc in the first two games of the tournament, but pivotal droughts haunted the Golden Eagles in the finale. Marquette went seven minutes without making a field goal in the first half, leading to a 14-3 Aztecs run. The Golden Eagles went nearly four minutes at the end of the game without making a field goal, morphing a 53-52 lead into a 59-53 deficit with under a minute remaining. “We’ve got to learn to finish games,� coach Buzz Williams told GoMarquette.com. “When you play on the road and you play a top 25 team, you have to be able to finish games. When you turn the ball over 15 times on the road, it’s hard to win.� Freshman Deonte Burton led Marquette with 15 points and was a reliable scoring option in the second half, tallying 13 points to keep the
Golden Eagles close. “We need him to be more consistent in his work each day in practice,� Williams said. “It’s just typical freshmen. They want to figure out what to be able to do in practice, but they have to understand the value of the reps of what we’re doing in practice so we can execute that in a game. We need him to keep growing.� Gardner, who was battling the flu, scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds after his two previous stellar performances. Aztecs senior Xavier Thames poured in 29 points and made five of six 3-point tries as San Diego State had little difficulty navigating through Marquette’s zone defense. The defense, however, still seems to be holding strong. Marquette allowed opponents to shoot 39.8 percent throughout the tournament, including
Katherine wins Plouffe battle in Vegas Women move to 6-1 with wins over Tennessee Tech, Utah By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
In a game where twin sisters became rivals, the Marquette women’s basketball team (61) capped off the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout in Las Vegas with a 72-65 victory over Utah to go 2-0 in the tournament. Marquette opened the tournament facing off against its Golden Eagle counterparts of Tennessee Tech. Marquette opened the game strong and never took its foot off the pedal. By the first media timeout, Marquette led 15-4, and had a 20-9 lead with 11:31 left in the first. By the end of the half, Marquette nearly doubled Tech’s scoring, entering the intermission with a comfortable 48-25 lead. In the second, Tech tried to chip away at the
score, but Marquette’s lead was never less than 16. Marquette handily defeated Tennessee Tech 84-64. Marquette’s success came from rebounds and balanced scoring. Junior Arlesia Morse led Marquette with 24 points and went 5-for-8 from behind the three-point line. Senior Katherine Plouffe followed closely with 21 points of her own, and fellow senior Katie Young was a rebound away from recording a double-double as she notched 12 points and nine rebounds. Her nine were a part of an astounding 51 rebounds for the team, 18 of which were on the offensive end. Coach Terri Mitchell said rebounding was a big reason for the team’s success against Tech. “I thought we played extremely well and it shows in our rebounding,� Mitchell told GoMarquette.com. “When we dominate the boards, I know everything else is going to fall into place.� In the second game of the tournament, Plouffe faced off against
her twin sister Michelle and the Utah Utes. Utah jumped out to an early lead. Marquette’s senior tandem of Plouffe and Young kept the team in the game, as the two accounted for 23 of the Golden Eagles’ 29 points in the first half. A 12-6 run to open up the second half gave the Golden Eagles the lead for good. Utah tried to tie the game through an 8-0 run with under four minutes to go, but Marquette staved off the attack and won 72-65. The tough opening half forced the team to approach the second half differently, but Mitchell said the team responded well. “We found other ways to win,â€?
