Marquette welcomed sports executives from Milwaukee last night for a “Career in Professional Sports” seminar held in Cudahy Hall. Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond, Milwaukee Brewers Assistant General Manager Gord Ash, and John H. Steinmiller, manager of media relations for the Milwaukee Brewers, spoke at the event, which was moderated by OnMilwaukee.com co-founder Jeff Sherman and sponsored by alumni networking group Marquette Circles. Steinmiller, who graduated from Marquette in 2004, started out working for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel his senior year in high school, and worked his way through Marquette student media during college. After graduation, he entered the sports business by getting a job with the Milwaukee Brewers, a process which he talked about during the seminar. “You have to be ready to (hear) ‘no,’ because there are only so many jobs,” Steinmiller said. “I’ve applied for jobs out of See Networking, page 7

Students starting Vatican II anniversary revered MU space program Historic council Engineering group hopes to launch first satellite by 2014 By Eric Oliver eric.oliver@marquette.edu

The Marquette Space Engineering team is hoping to raise the school to new heights in the coming years. The team, currently made up of 13 students and their adviser, Robert Bishop, dean of the College of Engineering, is hoping to launch its first satellite by 2014. “Building a satellite isn’t an everyday occurrence, so really

the objective here is to just get Marquette into space,” Bishop said. “The objective after that depends on what students really want to do.” The team is open to all students and will be holding a meeting in Haggerty Hall room 199 on Oct. 25 for those interested in joining. “Space exploration isn’t just for engineers,” Bishop said. “It’s for all students who feel the need to explore and think that space is a great avenue for people hoping to explore. We want to inspire students to reach for a place they wouldn’t normally reach for.”

DPS Reports

News in Brief MPD officers face felony charges Four Milwaukee police officers were charged with felonies Tuesday relating to various illegal rectal searches of suspects over the past two years. The complaint details how primary suspect Officer Michael Vagnini conducted searches of men’s anal and scrotal areas, though state law and police procedures prohibit officers from conducting cavity searches without a search warrant. Normally, only medical personnel are allowed to perform them. Vagnini was the only officer of the four accused to be charged with sexual assault and faces 25 counts. Second-degree sexual assault, the most serious charge against him, carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and 15 years on supervision. Officer Jeffery Dollhopf faces two counts of misconduct in public office, which has a maximum penalty of three and a half years in prison, while officers Jacob Knight and Brian Kozelek also face one count each. Dollhopf also faces one count of conducting an illegal cavity search and an illegal strip search, both as a party to a crime. Knight and Kozelek face counts of being a party to an illegal cavity search and an illegal strip search, respectively. The charges are the latest of recent incidents putting Police Chief Edward Flynn on the hot seat, coming only weeks after a video was released showing Derek Williams’ death in the back of a police squad car despite his repeatedly telling the officers he could not breathe. There have been calls for Flynn to step down or be fired, but Mayor Tom Barrett said in a press conference Tuesday that he has no current plans to remove him from his position. “I do not support removing the chief at this time,” Barrett said during the press conference. “I think these investigations need to move forward.” This is the biggest case against Milwaukee police officers since 2006, when eight officers were charged in federal court in connection with the beating of a man, ending with seven being convicted.

Teammates testify against Armstrong

US sends forces to Jordan

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a report on the Lance Armstrong case Wednesday supporting earlier decisions from the Union Cycliste Internationale, World AntiDoping Agency and the World Triathlon Corporation. The evidence is in excess of 1,000 pages, with testimony from 26, people including 15 cyclists, 11 of whom were Armstrong’s teammates. It also includes financial payments, scientific data and laboratory test results supporting allegations regarding the use, possession and distribution of performanceenhancing drugs by Armstrong. USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart said in a statement that “The evidence shows beyond any doubt that the U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that the sport has ever seen.” Armstrong is banned from recognized competition for life, and his competitive results from 1998 forward have been disqualified.

The Pentagon has sent a team of U.S. military advisers to Jordan to help the country deal with the fallout of the ongoing conflict in neighboring Syria. The team’s primary duties will involve aiding Syrian refugees, bolstering Jordan’s military capabilities and helping to keep track of possible “stray” chemical weapons, Reuters reported. In a press conference in Brussels Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said U.S. personnel have been in the country for some time. “We have been working with Jordan for a period of time now … on a number of the issues that have developed as a result of what’s happened in Syria,” Panetta said. “We’ve also been working with them to develop their own military operational capabilities in the event of any contingency there.” The U.N. has estimated that more than 294,000 refugees have fled Syria since the start of the civil war 18 months ago. While the U.S. has not intervened militarily in the conflict, President Barack Obama has stated the introduction of chemical or biological weapons by the regime of Syrian president Bashar AlAssad may provoke action.

Walker aid pleads to felony account Kelly M. Rindfleisch, a former aide for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker during his time as Milwaukee County executive, will accept a plea deal admitting to one count of felony misconduct, a recommendation for jail time and no fine, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Wednesday. Rindfleisch was charged in January with four counts of felony misconduct for doing campaign work while at her taxpayer-funded county job. Rindfleisch allegedly exchanged emails with then-Republican candidate for lieutenant governor Brett Davis about various campaign-related issues, including fundraising, on county time. The charges come from a long-running John Doe investigation into many of Gov. Walker’s aides and associates from his time as county executive. The four charges brought against Rindfleisch carry a maximum of 14 years in prison and a $40,000 fine. The plea deal Rindfleisch accepted carries 3.5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The acceptance of Rindfleisch’s plea deal means that Walker will not have to testify at her trial next week.

Last Thursday’s Marquette Student Government Senate meeting was highlighted by a series of three elections. Sen. Thomas Schick, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, was elected to the residential budget committee, while Zack Wallace, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, became the newest member of the residential student organization funding

committee. Additionally, Zachary Bowman, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, was elected President Pro Tempore of the senate. As President Pro Tempore, Bowman will act as a liaison between the four main senate committees by attending the different committees’ meetings. In the past, the President Pro Tempore was required to attend all four weekly committee meetings. This year, Bowman will need to attend at least one per week.

S. Carolina upholds voter ID law A federal court panel in Washington upheld South Carolina’s voter ID law Wednesday but required that it not go into effect until next year since the November election is so near, CNN reported Wednesday. The three federal judges who ruled in favor of the law said the law did not discriminate against voters based on race, as the Justice Department and other opponents had claimed. In the ruling, the judges stated that 95 percent of registered voters in South Carolina possess the correct form of ID needed to vote. This includes about 96 percent of registered Caucasian voters and 92 percent to 94 percent of registered African-American voters. Many states, including Wisconsin, have passed controversial voter ID laws in recent years. Wisconsin’s law is still in the court system and will not be in place for the upcoming election in November.

in the coming weeks. While on the topic of alcohol, Sen. Kyle Whelton, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the student life committee was looking into the establishment of a “Good Samaritan” policy at Marquette. Such a rule would protect students from penalization when they need to call emergency services for an intoxicated friend. Arica VanBoxtel, MUSG president and senior in the College of Communication, also gave a brief update on the upcoming renovations of Johnston Hall, Marquette Hall and Sensenbrenner Hall. She said the facilities committee is moving forward on its restoration plan for the three historic core campus buildings.

Salmonella outbreak has peanut butter fans worried Kirkland brand, Trader Joe’s spread among recalled jars By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

A “fast-moving” outbreak of Salmonella Bredeney has affected more than 35 individuals in 19 states, according to U.S. Federal Drug Administration reports first released in August and updated last Wednesday. The culprit, processed peanut butter made by Sundland Inc., has been removed from stores and restaurants nationally, according to the FDA reports. The recall affects products made by the company’s plant in Portales, New Mexico between March 1, 2010 and Sept. 24, 2012. Some familiar nut products containing Salmonella Bredeney include Kirkland’s Organic Creamy Peanut Butter, Archer Farms Creamy Peanut Butter, Whole Foods Treasure Trove Mix (bulk foods), Sunland Organic Thai Ginger Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter Newman-O’s Sandwich Crème Cookies. Among the affected companies, Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter was also recalled. A worker at the Trader Joe’s store in Glendale, Wis.’s Bayshore Town Center, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the outbreak has likely affected the company’s image. “Some customers have asked me about the outbreak and what happened to the product,” the worker said. “Unfortunately, these things do happen and Trader Joe’s tried its best to get everything bad off of the shelves.” According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 75 percent of the 28 sick individuals who were interviewed reported shopping at Trader Joe’s, while 21 admitted eating one of the two Sundland brand recalled peanut butters.

Jars of Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter made in a New Mexico plant from March 2010 to Sept. 24 have been recalled.

The anonymous worker also said Trader Joe’s peanut butter variations are always popular items and she is hopeful that the outbreak will soon be controlled. “I’m sure customers will buy (peanut butter) again,” she said. “Right now people are afraid, but give it a while and the products will be back to normal.” Kevin Gilligan, the general manager for Sodexo at Marquette, said Sunland Inc. is not a contracted supplier and that an infectious outbreak like salmonella is unlikely to affect Marquette’s food sources because the university is especially careful in preparation. “Sodexo maintains a close

working relationship with our contracted food supplier partners and we require them to meet or exceed our rigid food safety and food security requirements,” Gilligan said. Gilligan added that should a serious outbreak occur, Sodexo would immediately discontinue use of known or suspected products and work with the contracted food supplier to address associated risks in alerting Marquette’s campus. “Sodexo does not have a formal alert system on campus, but we can use platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and the dining services website to share important program information and updates

with students,” Gilligan said. Students remain concerned about the outbreak. Elizabeth Griesmier, a junior in the College of Nursing, said she purchases her peanut butter from the grocery store and tries to stick to known and basic brands when stocking up. “It is a somewhat scary concern because it is a common thing to eat,” Griesmier said. “It seems like lately there have been more recalls on peanut butter and it makes you think twice as to why this may be happening.” Griesmier said that when salmonella is exposed in specific foods or companies, she tends to forego the brand or item

and instead find something not associated with the outbreak. Symptoms of Salmonella Bredeney include fever, diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps lasting 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness may last up to a week, but most affected persons fully recover without treatment. The FDA is still investigating the outbreak and, as of Sept. 25, discovered five new cases. The administration recommends observing the “Best if used by” dates on peanut butter jars and taking extra precautions when eating or purchasing related products.

Department of Public Safety debuts new-look rides Ford Taurus replaces tradional Crown Vic models for officers By Nick Biggi nicholas.biggi@marquette.edu

While Marquette’s Department of Public Safety continues to combat crime around campus, it is making one change: transitioning to new squad cars. DPS had primarily been driving the Ford Crown Victoria. However, Ford discontinued the car in the U.S. and Canada for the 2012 model year. Now DPS is making a transition to the Ford Taurus. DPS has been trying to make the switch gradual by getting a few cars at a time instead of replacing the old ones all at once. “We have quite a few squads so it is not something we can just transition from one model to the next,” DPS Capt. Russell Shaw said. “It is a transition that has slowly worked into our fleet.” Shaw said getting new squad cars is very important and not completely uncommon because the cars get such high mileage, often being driven for around 100,000 miles

and for about five years. “Those are all mostly city miles and a lot of right turns,” Shaw said. “Putting 100,000 miles on a squad (car) when they are running sometimes 24 hours a day is a lot of rough mileage.” As the cars got older, Marquette’s administration stepped in and started providing new ones for the officers. “I think that goes back to the support we receive from the administration,” Shaw said. “They give us great tools and the opportunity to get some great equipment. Cars certainly are one of the most important things we need.” DPS has been receiving positive responses from the officers about the new Tauruses so far. “They handle a little better than the old Crown Vics,” Sgt. Jill Weisensel said. “They are more maneuverable. It is probably a much more practical car for us in terms of gas mileage and maneuverability.” Patrollers driving around campus usually are driving anywhere from eight to 10 hours and average 50 to 60 miles a night, not just on streets but through alleys as well. “On south campus especially,

we don’t just patrol the streets, we patrol the alleys,” Weisensel said. “It is hard trying to get that big boat of a car through there.” Erica Buchanan, a freshman in the College of Health Sciences, said she loves the trendy look of the squad cars around campus. “Since I am a freshman, I never knew those cars were not

there the whole time,” Buchanan said. “I just assumed DPS had the coolest cars.” Marquette has usually gotten the squad cars from Ford, and DPS decided to continue that trend for a reason. “We have always been very happy with Ford, so we stayed with them,” Shaw said. “We have

always felt they are really a greatlooking car. Actually, we are probably one of the first departments that have the new Ford Taurus.” Shaw said it is not all about logistics. Sometimes DPS has to keep up with trends and win style points as well. “It is an image thing, too,” he said. “We want our squads to look good.”

Federal student aid to face cuts; students worried By Melanie Lawder melanie.lawder@marquette.edu

Ninety percent of Marquette students receive some sort of financial aid, which gives the university a vested interest in current political turmoil that may affect federal aid or government education funding. Unless the Congressional Joint Committee on Deficit Reduction comes to agreement on how to achieve more than $1 trillion in budgetary saving, a majority of government-

sponsored discretionary programs will see a reduction in their federal funding starting Jan. 2, 2013, said Rana Altenburg, vice president of Marquette’s Office of Public Affairs. These across-the-board cuts are sequestration – a fiscal policy created to ensure Congress agrees on a means to cap spending. These cuts are projected to affect more than 200 students’ financial aid packages at Marquette, according to the Office of Public Affairs. This includes federal work study, Pell grants, Supplemental Opportunity Educational Grants and TRIO programs. Altenberg said Marquette’s Educational Opportu-

The President's 2013 Budget

nity Program, which has TRIO program funding, is in serious jeopardy of cuts. Marquette’s Office of Public Affairs exists to actively lobby and represent the university’s interests to elected government officials. Altenberg said one of its biggest concerns is the future of financial aid including scholarships, grants, student employment and low-interest loans. All of these programs provide grants to higher education institutions to help low- and middleincome undergraduate and graduate students complete or pay for postsecondary education. “Because most of education funding is discretionary – meaning it’s not mandatory and

Sequestration looms for funds with new year approaching

doesn’t have to be funded, with the exception of a few programs – they’re the easiest to cut because they (Congress) are able to cut them,” Altenburg said. A substantial number of Marquette students receive federal aid. According to the Office of Public Affairs’ website, 1,567 Marquette students received almost $6.3 million in Pell grants, and 545 students received $1.24 million in SEOG funding for the 2011-2012 academic year. According to U.S. Senator Thomas Harkin’s (D-IA) report, “Under Threat: Sequestration’s Impact on Nondefense Jobs and Services,” sequestration will have a significant impact on financial aid for college students both nationally and locally. For the 2013 fiscal year, 51,577 fewer students are expected to receive federal work study nationwide. In Wisconsin alone, 652 students will not receive funding through federal work study because of the cuts. Nationwide, 110,543 fewer students are expected to receive Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants. Of these students, 863 are Wisconsin students. Federal Pell grants, which are distributed to students with the greatest need, are exempt for this 2013 fiscal year but will be subject to the “acrossthe-board” cuts for the next 2014 fiscal year. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s fiscal year 2013 budget, more than $36 million is allocated for the distribution of Pell grants. Next academic year, this proportioned amount will be subject to a substantial reduction. This could affect the roughly 20 percent of Marquette students who receive Pell grants, according to the Office of Public Affairs. In a student forum last Tuesday, University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz expressed his own concerns about the uncertain future of financial aid. He said Marquette is “deeply committed” to distribution of federal aid to its students, which is why $100 million of unfunded aid is given to students each year. “It keeps me up at night,” Pilarz said. “Quite honestly, it is one of the things that literally keeps me up at night – worrying about what might happen if Congress starts to roll back

federal financial aid.” The potential cuts in federal spending will be systematically and evenly applied to almost all programs, regardless of precedence or importance over the next ten years. Non-defense programs and discretionary spending will be cut by 8.2 percent, and mandatory spending will be cut by 7.6 percent, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget’s Report Pursuant to the Sequestration Transparency Act of 2012. “The concept behind sequestration is that it would be so bad – you would want to reach a deal,” said Mary Czech Mrochinski, an Office of Public Affairs staff member. The Office of Public Affairs estimates that the window for Congress to amend the federal budget before the cuts are approved is about two months – from the end of the elections on Nov. 6 to before Jan. 20, the day of the presidential inauguration. University administrators are not the only parties concerned. Students are also wary of how politics can potentially affect their education finances – especially since the failure to compromise on a budget last November has led to across-the-board cuts on all government spending, including financial aid. Kevin Dolan, a junior in the College of Communication, applied for a campus job during his first two years at Marquette but was denied jobs both times. He only just received a federal work study grant this year and is worried these government cuts to financial aid could negatively affect his and other students’ employment statuses. More than 1,000 Marquette students, faculty and parents signed a student aid alliance petition to confront this problem last year, Mrochinski said. Marquette was among the schools that had the highest participation rates. Despite common perception, Altenburg said student federal aid is not a partisan issue in Congress – both Republicans and Democrats support educational programs. “It’s hard not to support education – the question is, at what level and for whom?” Altenburg said.

FBI to investigate handling of police custody death MPD offers full cooperation into probe of 2011 case By Carrie Antlfinger Associated Press

The FBI has launched a federal civil rights investigation into the death of a man who died in Milwaukee police custody, the local special agent in charge said Wednesday. Derek Williams, 22, died July 6, 2011, when police video shows him struggling to breath in the back of a squad car. Following an investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee County medical

examiner last month changed the manner of Williams’ death from natural to homicide. District Attorney John Chisholm has emphasized the medical examiner’s revised finding doesn’t mean a crime was committed. Medical examiners define homicide as “death at the hands of another.” The crime of homicide requires prosecutors to prove intent to kill or reckless disregard for life. Still, Teresa Carlson, Special Agent in Charge of the Milwaukee FBI, said Wednesday that the reclassification of the death warrants an independent investigation. “We have all seen the video and it’s extremely difficult to watch,” she said during a news conference. “Our mission however is to fully investigate that

night, everything that happened that night and to do so as objectively as possible.” She said she will then turn the evidence over to U.S. Attorney James Santelle to decide if charges are warranted. She said they don’t know when their investigation might finish. Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn said in a statement that he has told federal officials the department is open to the investigation and will fully cooperate. The department turned the case files over to the FBI a year ago, he said. Former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge John Franke also is overseeing a separate state criminal inquest into Williams’ death to determine if state criminal charges should be filed.

Robin Shellow, who is representing Derek Williams’ mother, Sonya Moore, said in a statement that she was grateful for the investigations. “It is my hope that the Federal Government will consider whether or not persons in command at the Milwaukee Police Department, the District Attorney’s office, and the Medical Examiner’s office conspired to obstruct justice through coordinated actions amounting to a cover-up,” she said. Police said Williams fled officers after trying to rob a couple and was sweating profusely when he was caught. According to a police report, a handcuffed Williams repeatedly told officers he couldn’t breathe. He first made the complaint as he lay face

down on the ground with his hands cuffed behind him and an officer’s knee pressed across his back, the report said. Video shows Williams in the squad car struggling to breathe for nearly eight minutes before losing consciousness. An officer then checked Williams’ pulse, propped him up and walked to a supervising officer’s car nearby. Finding the supervisor’s car empty, the officer returned to Williams and started performing CPR. Another officer called for medical assistance. Police and paramedics performed CPR for more than 45 minutes before Williams was declared dead.

Satellite: Team to seek NASA assistance in launching spacecraft Peter Jorgensen and Eric Jonardi, both seniors in the College of Engineering, have been with the group since its inception and have since seen it grow into what it is today. “I mean, how cool is space? NASA seems to get a lot of attention,” Jorgensen said. “As a student-led group, we’re also proving that students have the capacity to take on big projects like building a satellite.” Jorgensen did not let the fact Marquette does not have an official aerospace engineering program deter him. “We thought it would be a great way to get into an interesting field of study, apply our engineering knowledge to a new system and learn a ton along the way,” Jorgensen said. The team is hoping the satellite will be part of the NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative, a program allowing various groups to build small satellites and have them brought into orbit as part of a rocket’s auxiliary payload. “Designing a satellite from scratch has been challenging, but we are about halfway there, and we are picking up

steam,” Jonardi said. “The satellite is actually a type of satellite called a CubeSat, so named because the entire satellite is a 10-centimeter (3.9-inch) cube that weighs only one kilogram (2.2 pounds). Working within these constraints has forced us to be very creative during the design process.” Jonardi said the first satellite’s primary payload will be a highresolution color camera to take pictures of Earth, with which the group hopes to transmit photos back to Marquette. It also wants to attach a mirror-carrying mechanical arm to the device, allowing the satellite to take pictures of itself while in space. “We have been very effective in shrinking everything to fit inside the satellite, so much so that there is still some space left over, so if any students have any (small) experiments in mind we would like to hear from them,” Jonardi said. The team is hoping this will be the first of many launches. “As a team, after we launch this first satellite, we are going to build another,” Jorgensen said. “We hope to create an ongoing

Networking: Connections, getting foot in the door both key, panel says college with numerous NBA teams, numerous football teams, baseball teams, and where do I end up? Right here, five miles away from where I started.” Ash reiterated what Steinmiller said, also discussing how he worked his way up from ticket salesman for the Toronto Blue Jays to General Manager of the team. “In the sports business, it’s getting your foot in the door, at whatever level that can be,” Ash said. “In most cases, it will probably be below your capability, and you have to accept that that’s your opportunity. Once

you’re in, your capabilities can demonstrate you’re capable of doing more.” Hammond took a different approach to his rise to becoming the general manager of the Bucks, but still has the same central ideas that the other two held. “With the exception of my very first job that I ever had…I’ve never had a job that I’ve pursued,” Hammond said. “Any job I’ve every applied (for), I haven’t gotten. Every opportunity I’ve had has been presented to me. Sometimes people try too hard, and you have to just let it happen.”

Dan DeWeerdt, senior director of engagement communication and events for Marquette Circles who organized the seminar, said the event was an opportunity through the Marquette Circles’ eMentor program to connect with Marquette alumni and friends who are willing to share their experiences. The eMentor program is designed to provide students and alumni with advice on careers, industries and organizations pertaining to different fields. “Marquette alumni are really not only passionate about

the university, but they’re passionate about the students,” Deweerdt said. DeWeerdt said that this event was held so that students maybe not yet affiliated with eMentor could start networking with people already in the sports business. “It’s important to remember that it’s never to early to network,” DeWeerdt said. “You never know who’s going to be connected to someone.” DeWeerdt also said that networking can open up unique opportunities for students, and they should not take those for granted.

“One thing for consideration is to never limit yourself,” DeWeerdt said. “Just keep in mind that Marquette alumni truly do want to help students.” Steinmiller agreed with DeWeerdt and spun it specifically to the realm of sports. “I think it’s important to find something that you’re good at and see how you can apply that to sports,” Steinmiller said. “Whatever you’re good at, there’s a job in sports for that.”

Vatican II: Council resulted in inter-faith diologue, new roles for laity (relating to instruction in a religion) than academic in nature,” Robert Masson, an associate professor of Theology, said. It was during the council, in 1963, that Marquette established its doctoral program in theology. “It was the first doctoral program in theology that was available for priests, nuns and laity,” Carey said. Though the doctoral program was not a response to Vatican II, its aims coincided with many of the theological emphases of the council, Masson said. The theological emphases largely included the laity (those who were not ordained) in the life of the Church.

History

Tribune File Photo

A member of the Swiss Guard stands outside an entrance to the Vatican.

But on Oct. 11, 1962, exactly 50 years ago today, Pope John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, which was the twenty-first ecumenical council of the Catholic Church and a historic council that would give the Church some of the modern features it has today. An ecumenical council is a council convened by the Catholic Church in which bishops from around the world meet to discuss Church doctrine and problems that permeate the Church. The decisions that these councils make are, according to the Church, infallible, as the Holy Spirit will guide the Church to correct teachings and beliefs in certain circumstances. Tonight, to celebrate the opening of Vatican II fifty years ago, Campus Ministry is holding a commemoration service. According to the Rev. Thomas Anderson, an assistant director of Campus Ministry, the commemoration service will begin in the plaza in front of the Joan of Arc chapel. Mass will be celebrated after a reading from the John XXIII speech which opened the council. Church leaders are also recognizing the anniversary. Pope Benedict XVI called for a “Year of Faith” in his Oct. 11, 2011 apostolic letter “Porta Fidei” in celebration of the council, which vastly changed how the Church functions. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, “the Year of Faith is an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion – to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him.” Through this call to faith, the conference hopes that

Catholics will “rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.”

Vatican II at Marquette & Milwaukee While Vatican II took place more than 4,000 miles away, it has had a direct impact on both Marquette and the surrounding Milwaukee area. According to Patrick Carey, a professor of theology and chair in Catholic theology, Vatican II fostered interfaith dialogues between Catholics in Milwaukee and the many different Christian denominations, as well as other religions entirely. “In Milwaukee especially, the Diocese and the Jewish community had a much better relationship as a result of interreligious dialogues and Vatican II,” Carey said. Carey himself took part in those interfaith dialogues, especially those between different Christian denominations. “We wanted to listen not (to) what Catholics said about Lutherans, but what Lutherans said about Lutherans,” Carey said. Once these dialogues began, he said Catholics and many of the protestant denominations found they had much more in common than they originally thought. Besides the faculty presence in the interfaith dialogues that resulted from Vatican II, Marquette experienced many changes as a result of the council. “When I was an undergraduate in the early 60s, few laypeople, and hardly any non-Catholics, were involved in the teaching of theology at Catholic colleges. The courses were often academically weak and more catechetical

The Catholic Church, one of the largest and most enduring institutions in history, was a very different entity 50 years ago. Before Vatican II, Masses were all celebrated in Latin; non-Catholics were thought to be condemned by God; laity were given an inconsequential role in official Church life; Deacon-hood was a step to becoming a priest, not an entity within itself; scripture was not read by the laity and modern methods of scholarly interpretation were not used. Vatican II was unlike almost every ecumenical council that preceded it. The twenty earlier councils largely focused on heresies that were diluting Church teachings and leading followers of the Church astray from what the Church considered true. For instance, the first ecumenical council, the First Council of Nicaea in 325, refuted Arianism, which claimed that Jesus the son was inferior to God the father and created the Nicaean Creed, which is still said in Mass today. That is not to say that all prior ecumenical councils dealt only in the Church’s theological doctrine. The First Council of Lyon, for example, deposed an emperor and levied a tax to support and maintain the Church’s holdings in the holy land. According to a December 1965 article in Time magazine written in the weeks following the close of the council, “(Vatican II) is the first council that did not face, or leave in its wake, heresy or schism.” At the time of Vatican II’s convention, few pressing crises faced the Church. Rather, John XXIII wanted “aggiornamento,” a “bringing up to date” of the Church. “In fact, by bringing herself up to date where required, and by the wise organization of mutual cooperation, the Church will make men, families, and peoples really turn their minds to heavenly things,” John XXIII said in his opening speech.

episcopates, or offices of bishops around the world, represented themselves. During the First Vatican Council in 1869, individuals from the Asian and African episcopates were mostly European missionary bishops, and, in the councils before that, were rarely represented at all. The Second Vatican Council produced sixteen documents as a result of agreements made between the participants at the council. Of the sixteen documents, four were constitutions, nine were decrees and three were declarations, respectively declining in authority from constitutions to declarations. “Sacrosanctum Concilium,” one of the four constitutions, created the most noticeable change in the Church, as it altered the liturgy, Anderson said. In altering the liturgy, the constitution allowed for Mass to be said in the vernacular, or common language, as opposed to Latin, which had been the language of the liturgy for centuries. Furthermore, this constitution allowed the priest to face the congregation instead of keeping his back to the congregation throughout the whole Mass. The Church also renewed its commitment to social justice through the final constitution it passed, “Gaudium et Spes.” “The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ,” begins the constitution. The council officially ended Dec. 8, 1965. Pope John XXIII had died in June 1963 during the

course of the council and Pope Paul VI was then selected as the next pope in a separate process.

Lasting Legacy “Three of the longest-lasting effects of Vatican II are its renewal of theology, its renewal of the liturgy and commitment to lay involvement and the ecumenical dialogue that it created,” Carey said. Carey said the renewal of theology has also sparked an increase in Catholicism’s modern intellectual and philosophical study of scripture and Church doctrine. “The council endorsed modern methods of scholarly interpretation of the Bible,” Anderson said. The renewal of the liturgy and commitment to the laity has “helped increase the full, active, and conscious participation in the liturgy,” Anderson said. By having the priest speak in the vernacular and face the congregation, Vatican II hoped to create a renewed vigor within the Catholic Church that, in the words of Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus, would “set the world on fire.” The ecumenical dialogue that Vatican II created, both within the Christian faith, and between Catholics and other religions such as Judaism, Islam and others, significantly diffused interfaith tensions and changed how the Church was viewed around the world, Carey said. Fifty years later, these effects of Vatican II are still significant. “Vatican II made us who we are,” Anderson said, “and in many ways it’s still influencing us today.”

The Council In all, nearly 2,400 Church leaders and experts, from patriarchs to cardinals to bishops, attended Vatican II, making it the largest ecumenical council ever. The Rev. Karl Rahner, a Jesuit theologian, argued that Vatican II was the first official Catholic assembly as a world Church. Rahner was a German Jesuit theologian who is considered one of the most influential Roman Catholic theologians of the twentieth century. Vatican II was the first time that representatives from all

Biden, Ryan face off in debate tonight in Kentucky

Photo by Chuck Burton/Associated Press

Vice President Joe Biden is an experienced debater and is expected to take an aggressive stance against Ryan.

Vice presidential candidates differ in debate experience By Philip Elliott Associated Press

To prepare for his biggest test yet on the national stage, untested debater Paul Ryan has been hauling two thick briefing books around the country and intently studying up on Vice President Joe Biden, who has been sparring over public policy since the Wisconsin congressman was learning how to talk. Ryan, the 42-year-old Republican vice presidential nominee, has suggested his youth will be an asset in connecting with voters at the sole vice presidential debate Thursday in Kentucky against the 69-year-old former senator. But risks abound for the GOP rising star, who hasn’t participated in a campaign debate since his first run for office 14 years ago. The main goal for Ryan’s inner-circle: get him comfortable answering questions in broad terms that connect with voters and avoid the wonky, in-theweeds answers more appropriate for a budget hearing than a living room.

Ryan’s team wants to keep him talking about positive changes a Romney-Ryan administration would mean for the country, not a full-throated defense of the campaign’s sometimes nebulous math. As the House Republicans’ top budget writer, aides say Ryan is confident he can handle questions about federal spending and taxes. He is a bit more nervous on international affairs — and for good reason. Ryan was thrust into the national spotlight a few months ago when he joined the Republican ticket but has limited exposure in that arena. Biden is a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a skilled debater, both within the administration and against its critics, and someone whose opinion President Barack Obama seeks out on major decisions. Ryan also is bracing for Biden to try to help Obama overcome a rough patch by staking out an aggressive tone. “I really think that because they had such a bad debate that Joe is just going to come flying at us,” Ryan said this week. His biggest worry: looking unprepared the way his mentor and former boss, Jack Kemp, did in the 1996 debate against Vice President Al Gore.

Ryan has spent hours huddling with advisers to polish his delivery and has been cramming with aides to sharpen his grasp of foreign policy and national security issues. As they prepared in Virginia’s mountains about 150 miles from Washington, Ryan focused on trying to shoehorn knowledge gained from seven terms in the House into two-minute answers. He has watched video of Biden’s 2008 vice presidential debate and recent campaign appearances. He knows Biden’s cadences and verbal ticks, including the signature “ladies and gentlemen” and punchy “folks” to get the audience’s attention. Ryan also has spent time working on trying to keep Biden from cutting him off, talking over him or throwing a wrench into his rehearsed answers. During practice debates, his stand-in for Biden, former Solicitor General Ted Olson, has been aggressive in trying to throw Ryan off his game. Above all else, aides tell Ryan to avoid specific numbers. “He’s learning how to debate,” said Michael Steel, Ryan’s traveling spokesman who was a top aide to House Speaker John Boehner. “It’s not about learning policy. ... It’s about learning how to debate at this level.”

Ryan and his aides also are trying to play up the vice president’s skills and perhaps set unrealistic expectations for Biden, who is doing his own cram sessions in Delaware before the meeting in Danville, Ky. “Joe Biden’s been doing this for 40 years,” Ryan told WTMJ-AM radio in Milwaukee. “I mean, the man ran for president twice, he’s the sitting vice president. And this is my first time on this kind of stage. So sure, there’s a lot of pressure.” He later seemed to suggest that his youth gave him the upper hand. “I’ve been in Congress 14 years. I’m a younger person. I’m next generation,” he told WTOL in Toledo, Ohio. “I’m in my 40s. Joe Biden is in his 60s. I’m used to debating people in Joe’s generation in Congress.” Ryan aides note that more people watched Biden’s 2008 debate against then-Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee, than any of Obama’s debates against Republican John McCain. But that was as much about Palin’s celebrity and curiosity about her and not the weight of the vice presidents’ roles. This time, Republicans have nominated a wonk who is a walking collection of think tank

studies — not a first-term governor from Alaska like Palin. Ryan and Olson practiced three times before heading into more intense sessions in the Virginia mountains. They wore suits and ties and dined on room service in Washington hotels for two sessions, then donned plaid shirts and ate Jimmy Johns sandwiches at the other session in Ryan’s hometown of Janesville, Wis. In Virginia, they simulated the debate setting, in which Biden and Ryan will be seated. Kerry Healey, who was Romney’s lieutenant when he was governor of Massachusetts and now advises him on foreign policy, stood in for debate moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC News and even channeled the newswoman’s speaking style. Ryan has tried to keep the number of advisers in the room with him to fewer than 10. From time to time, Romney aides from the Boston campaign headquarters joined the preparations, including strategist Russ Schriefer, longtime loyalist Beth Myers and conservative liaison Peter Flaherty. Foreign policy hand Dan Senor also has been helping Ryan. Ryan hasn’t debated since his first run for Congress — in 1998 at age 28.

The curtain comes down on successful 2012 film festival By Claire Nowak claire.nowak@marquette.edu

After 15 days of seemingly endless films, the Milwaukee Film Festival is coming to a close. This year was undoubtedly the festival’s most successful outing, with several sold out screenings and the U.S. premiere of Alex Gibney’s newest documentary, “Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God.” It is technically impossible to see every film featured in the festival, but I did my best to attend films that had promise based on their popularity and the reputations of their directors. Most of them lived up to that promise; others, unfortunately, not so much. The festival’s opening film, “Starbuck,” set a high standard. It’s a surprisingly warm movie, despite the plot being about a sperm donor, David Wozniak (Patrick Huard). He is a French-Canadian who leads a life that is the epitome of dysfunctional, from a mediocre meat-delivery job to growing debt. He also must convince his girlfriend that he is mature enough to be a father to their unborn child. On top of that, he learns his days as a sperm donor were extraordinarily productive. Or should I say reproductive, as he is the

father of 533 kids, 142 of whom want to learn the true identity of their father, known only by the donor name “Starbuck.” Director Ken Scott uses this comedic scenario to show Wozniak’s struggle to connect with his newfound kin and reconnect with his girlfriend and family while also providing lots of laughs and heart. Scott will be directing a Hollywood remake of the film, currently in production with Vince Vaughn as the lead, but I doubt Vaughn can portray Wozniak with half the compassion Huard puts into the character. The documentaries I’ve seen at the festival have opened my eyes to just how intriguing these films can be. “Beauty is Embarrassing” gives a frank and honest look into the life of artist Wayne White, the designer of Pee-wee’s Playhouse. By recounting his life story, White inspires fellow artists and audiences to follow their dreams and try a bit of everything because we only live once. Director Neil Berkeley showcases all types of White’s work, from larger-than-life puppets to word art paintings. Berkeley also captures White’s carefree personality, showing his Appalachian dances and repeated “FUs” to his haters. Other documentaries had far darker stories to tell. “The Jeffrey Dahmer Files” combines the captivating tales of a medical examiner who worked on the Jeffrey Dahmer case, the police officer who interrogated the serial killer and one of Dahmer’s neighbors. Interspersed between these interviews are fictional vignettes re-enacting Dahmer’s everyday life. One scene in the film shifts from someone talking about the disgusting smells emanating from

Dahmer’s apartment to a sequence involving the fictional Dahmer getting his eyes checked at the doctor’s office. Scenes like these make the audience realize how the notorious serial killer could appear normal, despite the horrific murders he was committing. Considering director Chris James Thompson won the Filmmaker-in-Residence award for this film, the Cream City

Cinema jury would probably agree that this documentary succeeded in showing a part of the Dahmer case previously undisclosed. Another of the festival’s documentaries, “The Imposter,” recounts the bizarre true story of a Texas boy, Nicholas Barclay, who was found in Spain three years after going missing. But here’s the twist: it wasn’t actually the same kid. Instead, the boy’s family brought home a 23-year-old Frenchman named Frederic Bourdin, who stole Barclay’s identity so he could be part of the family he never had. What I find hard to believe is that the family actually believed he was their son, ignoring the 5 o’clock shadow and French accent. Eventually, Boudin’s abnormal ears gave him away, and he was put in

prison for six years. While the story is intriguing, the re-enactments are what set the film apart from others, as they are perfectly intertwined with the interviews. Some films did not live up to the hype. Even though it is a modern adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood, I do not recommend young children seeing “Little Red.” It follows a young girl, Red, as she travels alone to Florida in hopes of seeing the horses on Cumberland Island. She is repeatedly stalked by Lou, an excessively creepy pedophile. The story had potential, but unfortunately it went too far, particularly with Lou’s unsettling advances on Red. The end goal of seeing the horses of Cumberland Island certainly didn’t seem like a fitting reward for escaping the clutches of such a predator. “No God, No Master” takes audiences back to 1919 New York City, catching them off guard with two package bomb explosions in the first ten minutes. This sets off the discovery of an anarchist plot to take down some of the city’s most powerful men, including John D. Rockefeller, and ultimately destroy the entire democratic system. While federal agent William Flynn (David Strathairn) and his partner investigate this case, they discover an attempt to deport innocent immigrants to stop future attacks against the U.S. The film was certainly suspenseful, but it featured one too many subplots for audiences to keep up. The highlight of the festival was the U.S. premiere of Alex Gibney’s documentary, “Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God.” In a startling investigation into the sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church, Gibney shows the

traumatic stories of four deaf men who were all abused as children by Fr. Lawrence Murphy at St. John’s School for the Deaf in St. Francis, Wis. As the boys get older, they realize what has been done to them and demand retribution for Murphy. Unfortunately, they only discover an extensive cover-up of similar abuse cases by authorities within the Catholic Church. The stories alone are heartbreaking, describing 10 year-old boys who were put into horrific situations because they didn’t question the authority of a priest. The sign language used by the subjects to tell their stories makes it all the more powerful – Gibney captures the emotion in their faces and gestures that might otherwise get lost in just words. HBO will be airing the film early next year, when it will surely reignite strong feelings and emotions whether the Vatican likes it or not. I have lived near Milwaukee my whole life, and this was my first time attending or even hearing of the Milwaukee Film Festival (shame on me). I quickly realized it’s one of Milwaukee’s best attractions. The organizers at Milwaukee Film chose high-quality films from around the world that made audiences laugh, cry and cheer. And although this is only the festival’s fourth year, I am sure it is well on its way to becoming a regionally, and possibly even nationally, renowned film festival.

Shakespearean epic brings challenge, acclaim Fiasco Theatre’s take on Bard’s tale hits Helfaer stage By Erin Heffernan erin.heffernan@marquette.edu

Shakespeare’s “Cymbeline” is not for the faint-hearted performer. The play’s sweeping adventure and grand scale is infamous for its theatrical challenges. The show calls for a whopping 21 characters, a move across continents, quick-fired plot twists and the appearance of a headless body on stage. It’s a daunting task to be sure. Faced with these problems, playwright George Bernard Shaw famously called the show “exasperating beyond all tolerance.” But the Fiasco Theatre is up for the challenge. The company’s six actors prove that when done right, “Cymbeline” emerges as a tale rich with the Bard’s signature flair for life’s strongest passions: love, war and revenge. The New York Times’ theatre critic Ben Brantley praised the achievement, calling Fiasco’s “Cymbeline” “the clearest and most truly enchanting I’ve ever seen.” As artists in residence at Marquette, the Fiasco Company will bring this rare accomplishment to the

Helfaer Theatre, performing a free dress rehearsal open to all Marquette students tonight before its shows for the public this Friday and Saturday evening. Jessie Austrian, co-artistic director for the Fiasco Theatre and actor in “Cymbeline,” described the show as an entertaining production that incorporates live music, fight scenes and creative staging. “(‘Cymbeline’) has a lot of variety and a wide appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds,” Austrian said. “It’s a really fun, dynamic, actor-driven show.” “Cymbeline” primarily follows a love affair between Imogen, the daughter of the Celtic king Cymbeline, and Posthumus Leonatus, a man of honor that marries Imogen unbeknownst to the king. In true Shakespearean style, their love is challenged by twists of fate and tragic acts bringing together many of Shakespeare’s signature moves. There are star-crossed lovers, mistaken identities, plotting queens, cross-dressing women and battles for revenge. Though the full breadth of the story can overwhelm, simplicity is key to the Fiasco company’s success. Six actors, including Marquette alumnus Andy

Grotelueschen, take on the show’s 21 roles using minimal costumes and props. The set remains sparse with only two crates, a sheet and a “magical” trunk. Without the extra flash, the company trusts the power of the performances and Shakespeare’s immortal words to do the work. “We feel the magic of theatre is engaging the audience’s imagination,” Austrian said. “It’s more exciting for the audience to fill in the gaps with their own imagination rather than providing everything in a physical way.” Austrian admitted that the play can often be problematic, but she thinks the company thrives on finding solutions. “If you embrace the problems, there are really fun intentional moments Shakespeare has made,” Austrian said. “We are always asking ourselves what Shakespeare was trying to offer and trust that he knew what he was doing.” The company is particularly proud of its take on the play’s notoriously difficult-to-stage beheading scene. “I don’t want to give too much away, but we came up with a way that we do it on stage which is a really fun moment for us to do and for audiences to see,” Austrian said. Bringing this highly acclaimed group to campus is a rare and exciting opportunity for Marquette Theatre. The company, which was formed in 2007, consists of a self-assembled group of six actors who met attending Brown University. It has had previous residencies at Duke University

and at The Gallatin School at New York University. The residency at Marquette involves three aspects for the company: performing “Cymbeline,” teaching in Marquette theatre courses and workshopping a new play entitled “The Vexed Question.” A staged reading of the new show was featured as part of Marquette’s Freedom Project, a yearlong commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. “The Vexed Question,” written by company member Noah Brody, follows John Quincy Adams in his latein-life congressional fight for the abolition of slavery. “It’s a really exciting period in our history that most Americans have

no idea about,” Austrian said. “John Quincy Adams is a sort of forgotten figure in our history, but he was instrumental in allowing the debate to happen over slavery and abolition.” With this promising future and its fresh take on one of the theatre’s oldest conundrums, you will not want to miss the company’s final shows. The Fiasco Theatre members have brought their artistic originality to campus, but after this weekend, they will move on to new projects, taking them as far as California and New Jersey. They are bound to continue to create great work, leaving Marquette Theatre all the richer in their wake.

Philosophy, ‘Firefly’ collide in Joss Whedon class ‘Avengers’ director merits own honors seminar at Marquette By Peter Setter peter.setter@marquette.edu

Avid fans of Joss Whedon will be happy to hear that there is a class at Marquette geared toward his work. For the uninitiated, Joss Whedon is a director who has somewhat of a cult following after creating series such as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly.” Though Whedon’s fame has grown with recent high-profile projects like the hugely popular

superhero movie “The Avengers,” this little-known class has been in existence at Marquette for almost 10 years, albeit in a few variations, thanks to professor James South, chair of the philosophy department. The class, “Thinking Philosophically with Joss Whedon,” is both an introduction to Whedon and his works and a beginners course in philosophical thought. “I see myself as letting (the students) sort of discover the themes – freedom, necessity and self-knowledge – that preoccupy Joss Whedon and provide them introductory philosophy readings that can help them conceptualize those themes, then give them a vocabulary to talk about those

Joss Whedon has gained a cult following with TV shows like “Firefly.”

themes,” South said. A primary objective of the class, South said, is to get students comfortable in seminar formats and get them willing to share their views and interact about the ideas with their peers. He hopes the students achieve a “dialogical way of learning and teaching each other about whatever the topic is.” “A big goal of this class is to get them to be active viewers and active thinkers about popular culture,” South noted. South has been doing variants of the class for 10 years, with it originally starting as a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” course. However, as more Whedon material developed, South saw the opportunity to use all of his works to create really fascinating material. “It first occurred to me when I first introduced this course that students spend a lot of time taking in popular culture and talking about it amongst themselves, but they don’t have a way to talk about it in some systematic way,” South said. “By correlating that interest with a set of readings that would give them some concepts to help them think about that, we could do something really interesting in the classroom.” Since the original class, a large amount of materials and topics have developed from the range of Joss Whedon’s material. Rather than dealing with the Buffy metaphor “high school as hell,” more realistic problems are explored in this

seasoned class, South said. “(The problems are) about what happens when you have hopes and dreams that get smashed, and how you carve out a life for yourself that is authentically yours,” South said. “So I think the themes in a show like ‘Firefly’ are perhaps less relatable to a freshman student but are worth exploring because they have these dimensions that people in their 30s are trying to figure out what life’s about.” Unfortunately for some Whedon fans, only freshmen honors students are allowed to take the class, except for special cases with approval from the honors program. However, if South figured out a way to make the course format compatible for the general student population, he would certainly open it up. “These honors seminars are designed to build community in the honors program. That’s why they are primarily limited to honors students,” South said. “There are also not other easy outlets for a course like this. Just doing a course on Joss Whedon, I haven’t figured out how to do that other than in this smaller honors program format.” Compared to other freshmen honors seminar courses, South considers his unique. He uses a different model in his course compared to a seminar course about the Beatles, for example. In that class, history, culture and music appreciation are discussed, topics generally not covered in “Thinking Philosophically with Joss Whedon.”

“I’m really trying to get them to see philosophical themes, and I don’t know that these other firstyear courses are as focused on the philosophical elements,” South said. “If there’s a uniqueness to this class, it’s the philosophical texts that we’re reading and the things we are trying to talk about.” This year, South is incorporating a new aspect into the class, one that focuses specifically on the premiere episodes of each series in order to get a sense of how Whedon introduces characters and sets up the show. Students then watch specific arcs to see how the story has progressed. “Part of the learning of ‘Thinking Philosophically with Joss Whedon’ is watching how he tells a story, so I’m concerned not just with the words on paper, not just the script. I’m concerned with the storytelling style, with the visual style, with everything else.” As for South’s favorite work of Whedon, the answer is hard for him to give because there is so much to be discovered in each film and series. “I’m going to say Buffy because it was the first one, and it opened up to me the possibility to use my philosophical background and my interest in popular culture in some sort of blended and fruitful way,” South said. “But if push came to shove, and you asked me what his best work was, I would say ‘Firefly.’”

Haunted High makes high school even scarier Empty Oconomowoc middle school raises money by raising hell By Eva Sotomayor eva.sotomayor@marquette.edu

As if high school wasn’t scary enough, Haunted High adds chills, thrills, ghosts and ghouls to the experience. This October, the haunted high school opens its doors for its fourth and final year, looking to scare and excite visitors while at the same time raising money for the Oconomowoc school district. Located in Oconomowoc, Wis., with over 80,000 square feet of space, Haunted High is the largest haunted attraction in the state. While most haunted houses take place in warehouses or other empty spaces, Haunted High is set in an actual abandoned middle school. The idea for the project came from a group of people looking to raise money to give back to the Oconomowoc Area School District. They wanted the teachers and schools to receive materials and new technology to better the system and improve education for the students. “The district had a 100-yearold abandoned middle school that had many stories of former students and teachers

haunting it,” project manager Tamara Hauck said. A group of community leaders got together to try and brainstorm ideas and came up with the haunted school to fill both their fundraising needs and the lack of Halloween attractions in the area. The project also made use of the rich historical building that was right in their town. Haunted High takes visitors on a 30-minute walk through all the scares in the school. It has more than nine “zones,” which transform aspects of everyday school life into high school horrors. There are mazes, a “cannibal cafeteria,” an old gym and a madscientist teaching chemistry. And of course, it all ends at prom. Visitors get spooked thanks to special effects and groups of volunteers and actors. Haunted High promises to offer a different experience every night and has attracted more than 15,000 visitors throughout the years. “It’s quite the attraction, but you also see the old, real school,” Hauck said. “But now it’s just very bloody and haunted.” Haunted High is in its “graduation” year because the building has been sold and is set to change hands, making this the last year that the school will be open to the public as a haunted house. The project has been a huge success. Over the

course of its four year run, the haunted house has raised more than $150,000 for the Oconomowoc Public Education Foundation and the school district. Even though the building has been sold and will likely have a different use in the future, Hauck said “people in the area are always going to think of it as the haunted house, because it’s been such a huge success in the community.” The Haunted High is open every Friday and Saturday until Oct. 27 and is also open Thursday, Oct. 26. Tickets go on sale starting at 6:30 p.m. and cost $15 for regular visitors. However, on Oct. 25 and 26 there will be a special rate for Marquette students, which will save them $3 if they show their Marquette ID. The attraction is located on 550 E. Forest St. in Oconomowoc. Visitors to Haunted High should be prepared for some frightening sights and be 14 years old or older. However, there’s a special “Lights On” day for those who would rather not discover all of the haunts within the building. This Oconomowoc middle school has a long history, and it is rumored that more than just actors and special effects chill its visitors. When asked if it’s really haunted, Hauck replied, “Well, that’s up to the people who walk through it to decide.” Photos courtesy of Tamara Hauck.

Ingrid Michaelson strums way into MKE’s heart Indie-pop singer charms crowd at Turner Hall show By Maddy Kennedy madeline.kennedy@marquette.edu

With hit songs like “Be OK,” “You and I” and “The Chain,” indie-pop artist Ingrid Michaelson has topped music charts across the globe with her signature ukulele-infused aesthetic. This past Friday night, Michaelson brought her charm and eclectic array of string instruments to the Turner Hall Ballroom for the fifth stop on her fall acoustic tour. The show began with a promising opening performance by Nashville-based band Sugar & The High Lows, whose modern, bluesy sound provided a different yet appropriate partner for Michaelson’s light harmonies. After playing several songs

from its self-titled debut album, the band played two Christmas songs. As strange as Christmas in October may seem, the band spent its summer producing a Christmas album, so as it plugged in its small light-up Christmas tree, it seemed only fitting to showcase one or two of its snow-themed jingles. Ingrid Michaelson took to the stage shortly after, beginning with the empowering “This is War” from her latest release, “Human Again.” As expected, her first few songs were upbeat and catchy. The true unexpected entertainment, however, came in Michaelson’s casual, dry sense of humor, a necessity to the success of her live performances and an aspect of her personality that doesn’t always come through in her songs of love and heartbreak. When she first got on stage, Michaelson remarked that she a n d the band were nervous. It wasn’t bec a u s e of new arrangements or challenging

harmonies, but because of the Turner Hall Ballroom’s awkwardly slanted stage and its tendency to make dancing and ukulele playing somewhat difficult. She continued by explaining her inspiration for the song “Blood Brothers,” an entertaining tale of spilled Starbucks, puffy coats and awkward encounters on the New York subway system. As Michaelson continued with her quirky anecdotes between songs, she was able to provide a base for their origin and entertainment for the audience. While Michaelson performed slower, softer songs like “The Way I Am” and “Ghost” alone, Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup from Sugar & The High Lows often joined Michaelson on stage to assist in providing both energy and harmony to the fast-tempo crowd-pleasers. Dabbs and Stroup received a not-so-warm Milwaukee welcome when 260 of their CDs were stolen from the front step of the venue earlier in the evening. Thankfully, the two were able to overlook the night’s frustrating start and jokingly began referring to their remaining 10 CDs as “limited edition.” Michaelson explained that the purpose of the acoustic tour was to experiment with a somewhat different sound. The simple, stripped-down versions of her songs involved fewer instruments and electronics and more creativity on the part of the band. Several times during the performance Michaelson stopped to add a new harmony or verse or to start the

song completely over. Watching any other performer do this could have been unfortunate and maybe even a little sad. Instead, Michaelson, laughing off the small trip-ups and failed experiments, made the audience feel like part of a relaxed, creative process and made the concert feel more like a conversation than a performance. Wrapping up the show with the crowd-pleasing “You and I,” Michaelson quite literally almost brought the house down during the song’s rhythmic stomp-stomp-clap refrain. While many artists might panic at the thought of a shaking venue, Michaelson embraced the crowd’s

excitement, setting down her ukulele to move around the stage and join the fun. The show’s energetic end was the perfect conclusion to a set filled with exciting new songs and remixed classics. The fall acoustic tour signals a time of creativity and continued success for Ingrid Michaelson and her band. As she continues with shows around the country for the next three months, it is certain that she will provide laughs, excitement and an overall good time for long-time fans and ukulele enthusiasts everywhere.

Documentaries not for naps

Matt Mueller The History Channel was the worst thing to ever happen to the world of documentaries. Or perhaps it was the combination of dull history classes accompanied with dull history movies. Either way, they did documentaries no favors. Whenever you utter the word “documentary,” many people instantly envision boring old men sitting in front of a black background – or a packed bookshelf if the director is feeling edgy – rattling off the dates of ancient battles. It’s time to change that. Saying documentaries are boring is like saying the Detroit Lions are really bad. It just makes you sound hopelessly out of touch. I’ve seen probably more than 100 movies so far this year with 16 movies over the past two weeks alone at the Milwaukee Film Festival. Therefore, I feel confident in saying that the best, most exciting, fascinating, thought-provoking, chill-inducing, moving and sometimes even tear-worthy films being produced today are documentaries. I would’ve kept going, but I ran out of complimentary adjectives to use. As I currently sit, piecing together my “best of the year” list off the top of my head, most of the films I instantly place on the list are documentaries. Each of them is great, and each exemplifies some element of filmmaking or storytelling that makes it far and above most Hollywood big

budget features out there (even the Oscar bait). One of my favorite movies of the year for instance is actually a film I saw at last year’s Milwaukee Film Festival: “The PruittIgoe Myth.” Never heard of it? Totally understandable, since besides a run on the festival circuit, it was only released in six theaters in January. “Taken 2” made more money in one weekend than “The Pruitt-Igoe Myth” made in its entire 11-week theatrical release … even if you multiplied it by 1,000. “The Pruitt-Igoe Myth” doesn’t have a particularly sexy topic. It’s about the legendary rise and fall of an infamous public housing program in St. Louis. Yet the beauty of director Chad Freidrichs’ film is that it takes a topic I would otherwise have had absolutely no interest in and turns it into something that fascinates and moves me. It’s intellectually interesting as it breaks down the various reasons of why the housing complex fell apart, but it is also emotionally captivating in its talks with old residents. The film finds that, no matter how dilapidated, home is still home. It’s not a flashy film, but it is mind-blowingly effective. On the other hand, there is “The Imposter,” a very flashy documentary I saw just this past week at the film festival. Through a combination of re-enactments and interviews, director Bart Layton tells the story of a Frenchman who successfully posed as a Texas family’s missing son for five months. It’s an unbelievable story that only gets more unbelievable as it goes along. If Hollywood got its hands on the story, the odds are good that the “real story” would get pushed aside for more standard fare. A few car chases would be needed, perhaps even an espionage angle; a romance would be necessary as well in an attempt to bring in the “typical” female movie-going

demographic. Lost would be the unique characters, the emotional insights and unnerving questions into an incredible and often haunting true story. The documentary format and the assumption of “truth” are brilliantly flipped on their heads with “The Imposter.” The film’s use of re-enactments (normally a hokey element of documentaries) asks the viewers to question the truth of what they are seeing. It’s a true story being recreated – in essence, faked – in a documentary. No Hollywood screenwriter could create something so twistedly meta. And that’s just a taste of the great documentaries I’ve seen over the past year. “5 Broken Cameras” is a deeply personal documentary about the IsraeliPalestinean conflict that serves as an emotional punch to the gut (that’s a good thing). “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” is a mouth-watering look at one of the world’s best restaurants, a sushi shop located in a Tokyo subway station, run by an 85 year-old sushi chef. These films include characters more interesting than any Hollywood writer has been able to come up with this year. The stories are more thrilling than any generic thriller that’s hit the multiplex. As the resident expert of schlocky, instantly disposable movies like “Gone,” “Man on a Ledge” and “House at the End of the Street,” I would know. So don’t be scared off by documentaries. If you’re bored one night and want to watch a movie, maybe sample a documentary on Netflix instead of a lame romantic comedy or lifeless thriller. You might be surprised to find out that sometimes life is a pretty good screenwriter.

Sinister 10/13 Between “The Apparition,” “The Possession” and “House at the End of the Street,” there hasn’t exactly been a run of great horror movies hitting theaters. Luckily, “Sinister” looks to be changing that with a creepy villainous demon and ominous old film reels. Nothing says “horror” like dated technology.

Weird Al Yankovic The Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino 10/13 Weird Al Yankovic brings his bizzaro spoof songs, accordion playing, and flowing locks to the Potawatami casino this weekend. Known for parody songs like “Eat It” and “White & Nerdy,” Yankovic’s lyrics speak to his audiences (which may be or may not be mostly prepubescent boys).

Eric Church Bradley Center 10/13 Country star Eric Church brings his twangy good-time tunes to the Bradley Center. With his nostalgic hit “Springsteen” this year, Church solidified his place in the blue-jean clad world of country-pop.

Tempering election heat with dose of laughter Illustrations by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu

Those who watched the presidential debate last week or read coverage of the event were left talking about one thing: Big Bird. How did a giant, yellow, feathered children’s television star become the symbol of a debate between the candidates vying to lead our country? We believe voters should focus on Main Street, not Sesame Street. One small remark should not take precedence over real issues discussed in the debate. Big Bird appeared on Twitter and news broadcasts after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney mentioned ending government subsidies to the Public Broadcasting System as a possible means to reduce the national debt. “I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m going to stop other things. I like PBS, I love Big Bird,” Romney said. “But I’m not going to – I’m not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for. That’s number one.” Since then, Obama’s camp has used Big Bird and a call to “Save Sesame Street” in recent campaign material. Interestingly enough, the people at Sesame Street asked the Obama campaign to take down the ad because they did not wish to be a talking point this election. Yes, using a Sesame Street character to make a point in a presidential debate is humorous, but we should not let distractions fog our perception of the presidential race. Funding for public broadcasting amounts to only 1/10,000 of the nation’s budget, according to The Washington Post. In the current economic climate, we should not be focusing on one budget cut that would have virtually no effect on reducing the nation’s deficit. In light of the country’s strong political division, commentators have also become

obstacles when trying to find meaning and truth in the candidate’s points. Post-debate coverage bordered on lunacy. News channels were filled with emotional and frantic talking heads. Many of these discussions focused on the candidates’ debate style, not the issues at hand. Yes, Jim Lehrer, the moderator and longtime reporter for PBS, lost control of the debate, but it is the content of the messages that should matter, not how they are presented or who jokes about what. Voters must work to dig deeper beyond these distractions and search for their true opinions on the candidates’ platforms. We should not be sidetracked by these antics, nor let them define the 2012 presidential election. We must focus on the issues that matter most to today’s voters: the deficit, job creation and healthcare. According to NewsDay, Google’s top four search terms during and after the debate were “Simpson-Bowles (the bipartisan fiscal commission Obama appointed); Dodd-Frank (a Democratic-backed financial reform law); Who is Winning the Debate; and Big Bird.” We commend those who researched Simpson-Bowles and Dodd-Frank. These points of the debate were important to the party platforms and should have made more of an impact on readers than Big Bird. By keeping their hysterics in check, commentators and pundits can help facilitate useful discussion about the implications of debates instead of adding to the madness. This election season has been a whirlwind, and we don’t need to make it any more of a circus. In preparation for tonight’s vice presidential debate, we urge readers to focus on the issues that affect them and the candidates’ stances. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the distractions.

Tony Manno In 1992, Saturday Night Live ran a skit showing then-President-elect Bill Clinton stopping at McDonald’s to mooch french fries and mingle with the locals. Played by the late great Phil Hartman, Clinton quips after a Secret Service agent warns him not to tell Hillary of his fast food adventure: “There’s gonna be a whole bunch of things we don’t tell Mrs. Clinton.” It was a low blow, of course, referring to Clinton’s scattered infidelities that came up during his ’92 campaign. And yet it was widely accepted across the aisle – as are most skits on SNL, whether the fun is at Clinton’s expense or nowadays Mitt Romney’s. From SNL to The Onion, “The Daily Show” to “Family Guy,” satire has become a standard of comedy in American culture. SNL has kept rolling with the punches in past elections, with Dana Carvey as George W. Bush and, more recently, Tina Fey with her now-famous impersonation of Sarah Palin. It’s almost as if we take these moments to lighten up a bit before making some big decisions. Could we really drag through the day hearing about healthcare reform and military spending without listening to a few jokes here and there? Satire has always existed, but for many higher-ups, it was considered a low, cheap form of comedy. Some argue that Shakespeare’s Richard III is simply a 1590s mocking satire like, let’s say, the Colbert Report, though others interpret it as nationalistic governmental pandering. In many ways today, satire makes up for the inadequacies of “real” news. It collectivizes us despite our views, and in most cases it is just downright funny. Satire is the best of both worlds, connecting us to real news while serving as a modern pinnacle of comedy. This isn’t to say you should be getting your news solely from Stewart or Colbert – although it may be better than some alternatives. Fairleigh Dickinson’s Public Mind conducted a survey back in May to see how the public’s current events

knowledge fell in relation to its preferred news sources. For domestic issues, “Daily Show” devotees ranked third in their knowledge, only behind NPR fans and listeners of Sunday Morning news programs. International issues had “Daily Show” fans in second. For both categories, Fox News fell in dead last, even behind those who watch no news at all. MSNBC watchers weren’t far ahead. What does this say about satire? One thing is certain: politicians feed the meter every time they open their mouths, especially during straight broadcasts of the debates. And that’s what had me so revved up for the true debate this election season: “O’Reilly vs. Stewart: The Rumble in the AirConditioned Auditorium,” which took place via a charity pay-per-view online event this past Saturday. In many ways, the Rumble was more informative than the presidential debate because of its humility. After a stretch about bringing the lower class up, Mr. Stewart danced a happy jig in celebration of his remark. The debate had moments of comedy and moments of seriousness, and both Stewart and O’Reilly had the opportunity as wide-reaching pundits to address the issues in a way much too risky for the candidates themselves. In one fit of feigned rage, O’Reilly asked Stewart, “Are you sitting or standing?” making a jab at Stewart’s short stature to O’Reilly’s towering 6 ft. 4 in. Imagine this kind of comment during the presidential debate (maybe not about height – both Romney and Obama are rather tall gentlemen). It would never happen, because politicians are expected to be all too proper: their mannerisms, their words, everything. Normal people don’t point with their thumbs. But most of all, satire calls out our talking heads on the issues the mainstream media wouldn’t dare touch for fear of “bias” or “opinion.” Oh, the irony. Maybe this is the cause of such misinformation alluded to in the poll – people expecting to get non-biased news from cable, when in reality, it is often neither news nor satire. Can satire lead to social change in ways conventional political discussions cannot? Do we buy into it because of some human-to-human connection, or even because it’s just plain funny? I would say so, and it’s a great way to temper the heat during an election season. Regardless, I hope we can all find a happy medium between reality and satire in tonight’s vice presidential debate. I’ll get the laugh track ready. anthony.manno@marquette.edu

reader submission

The battle of ‘The Warrior’ carries on I wrote for The Warrior for four years while I was a journalism student at Marquette. I was its news editor from 2008 to 2009 and Editor-In-Chief from 2009 to 2010. The recent announcement about the paper shutting down indefinitely is a huge loss for the students and open discourse at the university. It means Marquette will lose a forum for a truly independent student voice. I always felt that my experience with The Warrior exemplified what journalism should be: hard work, asking tough questions, being persistent in the face of adversity and being critical of the status quo. One of the biggest disappointments about my time with The Warrior was the response the paper got from the faculty and staff in Marquette’s College of Communication, which houses the schoolfunded paper, The Marquette Tribune. The way I see it, journalism professors and student newspaper advisors in the

College of Communication actively tried to dissuade students from joining The Warrior, telling them they would not get internships or full-time jobs with experience from an independent, less supervised newspaper. During my time at Marquette, The Warrior was not considered a legitimate student news source on campus. We were not included in any university-sanctioned journalism events, discussions or other opportunities afforded to student media. The school would not let us distribute the paper on school property or put bins on campus. In my experience, professors would not consider clips from The Warrior to count as writing clips for their reporting classes as they did for the Tribune. What many Marquette professors told their students about the experience The Warrior offered simply was not true. I know firsthand. One of The Warrior’s primary goals was to rally for administrative transparency and efficiency while encouraging a true

discourse of ideas. Its existence is critical because it gives students an opportunity to hold accountable the leaders who spend their tuition money and guide their education. The College of Communication’s response to The Warrior was, and still is, baffling. I could never understand why the very people who were guiding and training the next generation of journalists wouldn’t applaud and embrace the initiative and passion of some. These were the students who cared so much about journalism and true watchdog reporting that they would work long, unpaid hours, trying to make a go of an uncensored, independent newspaper. Because of my experience with The Warrior, I interned with news organizations in Washington, D.C. for two summers, got a five-month business internship with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel my senior year and got a full-time job as a reporter with The News & Observer in Ra-

leigh, N.C., right after graduation. I was at the N&O for two years and am now in graduate school at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill but plan to go back into journalism after I’m done with my Master’s program. Marquette’s response to The Warrior represents the hubris of journalism academics in trying to contain student journalism in a university-sanctioned bubble. It is also symptomatic of an opaque administration trying to control information and preserve a prescribed public image. I love Marquette and I cherish the time I spent there. That’s why I think it’s so important to have an outlet for students to write uninhibited and participate in an open discourse to express their views and ask tough questions of the university. I hope The Warrior comes back online bigger and better than ever before. Katelyn Ferral College of Communication Class of 2010 katelyn.ferral@gmail.com

Reading: not the chore we think it is

Caroline Campbell I did something really weird yesterday. I walked into the library and made the trek to the reading room on the fourth floor of Memorial to find a book, pulled it off the shelf and ventured back downstairs to check it out. I got a book to read ... for fun. I kind of forgot that was something you could do. You know, read because you want to. At the beginning of every semester, I spend hours of my time searching online and at our campus bookstores for the absolute cheapest copy of every required textbook on my list. Hey, if I can get it for seven cents instead of 10, it’s totally worth the extra effort, right? I have boxes and bookshelves full of old tomes that I read fifty pages from for that one class sophomore year and never again opened. In college, reading becomes a chore, something painful you don’t really

TWIST AND SHOUT

want to do but you know you should. The library is a place to go to really hunker down and do work. It’s a shame, really, that such a wonderful thing as a library has turned into a building I try to avoid unless I need to seriously concentrate. (Sorry, but I’m one of “those people” who crowd up the library around finals and unknowingly steal someone’s regular table.) But last night, as I sped through the first of “The Best Early Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald,” I remembered that books did not need to be a burden. I remembered how much fun it is to read. When I was little, my local library branch had a huge playhouse in the children’s section. I loved to find a good book and read it there, Matilda-style. I remembered when the most exciting thing to happen in a summer was the release of a new Harry Potter book, when I would stay up late and read the whole thing in one night. All of my favorite grade school, and many of my favorite high school, moments happened in literature and English classes. If I was still required to read books like The Giver, Jane Eyre, The Great Gatsby, Othello, or lesserknown titles like The House on Mango Street, The Talking Earth (... and the list could go on and on, but I don’t have a two-page spread in the paper), I would get all my homework done days be-

fore it was due, instead of hours – and sometimes minutes – before class starts. I think maybe good books are making a comeback. Or maybe Hollywood can’t think of any original good ideas. In any case, in the coming months, moviegoers will be able to experience the magic of several amazing – and some of my own personal favorite – books. We’ll sit down in plush seats to travel Middle Earth, crash a party at Gatsby’s place, fight in the French Revolution and ride a cold, metaphoric train in Russia with Anna Karenina. Hopefully I’ll be able to find the time to revisit those adventures before I pay too much money to see them on a movie screen. Books, and not just the big-name books that turn into billion dollar Hollywood endeavors, are magic. I can’t believe I just wrote something so cliché, but I don’t know how else to say it. I’m slowly trying to find that again. Maybe college has ruined my soul and

taken away the joy of reading. Probably not, though. What’s more likely is that since I’ve been in college, I’ve forgotten that reading can be joyful because I didn’t make enough time to enjoy it. It’s safe to say that this bookworm may be spending a little more time in the library from now on. caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

Laia Hernandez Soler and her sister Aina were discovered by coach Jody Bronson at a tournament in Illinois last year.

The Marquette women’s tennis team has had to rely on a lot of solid play from its younger players, with only one upperclassman, junior Rocio Diaz, on the roster. Two of Marquette’s best performers so far are two of its latest additions, freshmen twins Aina and Laia Hernandez Soler. The Hernandez Soler twins have already made a big impact, coming through last weekend in the Spartan Invitational. Laia won the singles title and Aina, combined with Diaz, won the doubles championship. Coach Jody Bronson said the Barcelona, Spain natives’ early success speaks to their coachability, character and willingness to get better. Thanks to a tournament close to home in Illinois last summer, Bronson discovered the twins and got a first-hand look at their potential. Helping players adjust to a new country and new competitive level is nothing new for the See Soler, page 20

Seniors not ready to reflect just yet

Madness only adds to the excitement of fantastic fall

Fourth consecutive division title in reach this weekend By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Seniors Rachel Brown and Ally Miller both admit they have thought about their time winding down at Marquette, but they are choosing to focus on the present moment instead of reflecting too much. “I’ve had a great four years here and have done a lot of great things, but there is still work to be done,” Brown said. “We still have plenty of soccer left to play.” Marquette has a chance to clinch its fourth straight American Division title with wins against St. John’s and Syracuse this weekend. The Golden Eagles have already clinched a bye into the Big East Tournament quarterfinals. The match against the Red Storm Friday night should be, at least on paper, the easier of the two contests. St. John’s will enter Valley Fields at 6-7-1 and are just 2-4-1 in Big East play. Two of those wins have come recently, however, as the Red Storm have a three-match unbeaten streak after beating Rutgers and Seton Hall and earning a draw against Pittsburgh. St. John’s boasts a 2-0 win over George Mason, the only common non-conference opponent it shares

with Marquette. Freshman midfielder Emily Cubbage leads the team with three goals and is the only player with more than six points. The Red Storm have gotten at least one goal from 12 players but don’t have a star on offense. “The next three games are all important and we have to do our job for seeding in the Big East Tournament,” coach Markus Roeders said. “We just have to keep winning.” The Orange travel to South Florida Friday before coming to Milwaukee in what could be a huge game for seeding purposes. If the Orange beat the Bulls and Marquette falls to St. John’s, a win for Syracuse would vault them ahead of the Golden Eagles in the standings. Syracuse is 5-1-1 in Big East play, with its lone conference loss coming on Sept. 16 at Providence. The Orange have won their last four games and sit just three points behind Marquette in conference play. The Bulls are five points back at 4-1-2. Senior midfielder Alyscha Mottershead and freshman midfielder Jackie Firenze each have four goals for the Orange, who boast four players with at least eight points. Junior goalkeeper Brittany Anghel is already one of the best goalkeepers in program history and one of the best in the conference. While Anghel has allowed 15 See Seniors, page 17

Matt Trebby We are entering an extremely exciting time of the year for Marquette athletics. All three fall teams look like they are in prime position to contend for their respective Big East championships. Men’s soccer is a consensus national top 5 team, the women’s team is producing another year of consistency and quality, and the volleyball team is on its way up under coach Bond Shymansky. Starting tomorrow night, we can add two more teams to that list, although their seasons don’t start for another month or so. Marquette Madness signifies that basketball season is approaching quickly and will be up and running before we know it. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams will be on display tomorrow night at the Al McGuire Center, and while we won’t be able to learn too much from their performances, it will

be nice to reacquaint ourselves with the teams and introduce ourselves to a few new faces. On the men’s team, most people will see Trent Lockett in action for the first time. After averaging 13 points per game while playing for Arizona State over the last two seasons, can he fill the void left by Darius Johnson-Odom? Coach Buzz Williams told John Rothstein of CBS Sports a few weeks ago that freshman Steve Taylor is the best player he’s ever recruited coming out of high school. How good can he be? Is Chris Otule healthy and fully recovered from the knee injury that sidelined him last season, and is fellow big man Davante Gardner in better shape and poised to build on his big second half of last season? Williams’ team presents many questions that may not be answered on Friday, but it sure will be nice to see everyone back out on the court. For Terri Mitchell’s team, the questions are very different. The main one for me: how big of an improvement can it make coming off of last season where it was one of the Big East’s bottom teams? Can Sarina Simmons be the leader the team needs her to be and put together a senior season that someone as talented as she is capable of? Will Katherine Plouffe be one of the Big East’s best interior players?

Who will score for this team out on the perimeter? Can McDonald’s All-American nominee and freshman guard Ashley Santos make as big of an impact as the team may need if it desires any postseason play? We’ll find out a little bit about both teams on Friday night, but the main outcome of the evening will be that basketball is back at Marquette. Not only that, but this is the most exciting time in recent memory for Marquette athletics. With the three fall teams experiencing the success they currently are, the return of basketball will only continue to fuel the interest in all of the teams. With three possible Big East champions already in action, there are two teams striving for that same possibility that are about to get going. We know Buzz’s team will be able to compete, while Mitchell’s team may surprise. It all will begin Friday night at the Al McGuire Center. Here’s to a strong end to the fall season and to an exciting start to the winter sports. Students should be ecstatic because the season just provides more opportunities see athletes competing at a level that has provided success in the past and has potential for great things going forward. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Bobby Jones was the Tiger Woods of the 1920s and passed away in 1971. Apparently his spirit lives on in a glass jar. You can purchase the ghost of Bobby Jones on eBay for the low price of $1,000 or start the bidding at $500. According to the seller, rklassman, “Earlier this year I began to hear strange voices come from my garage and specifically my golf clubs. The voice would repeat ‘Syringomyelia,’ which was the disease that killed Bobby Jones. So I asked the apparition ‘Are you Bobby Jones?’ The ghost then became visible dressed in 1950’s golfing gear.”

As if it could get any weirder, the sell goes on to say, “As much as I like having Mr. Jones in my house, my wife is petrified of ghosts and is now forcing me to sell him.” At least he seems to recognizes how ridiculous this is when he says, “Unfortunately Mr. Jones can only be seen by true believers. I will not be giving refunds, so bid with caution, as this is something impossible to authenticate and verify.” As you can imagine, as of 1 p.m. Wednesday, there were no bids and the item was still up for auction. michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Chance to regroup at Bradley Classic Men and women looking to redeem themselves in Ill. By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

Marquette’s cross-country team will be taking both the men’s and women’s sides to the Bradley Classic this weekend for the last meet before heading to New York for the Big East CrossCountry Championship. The men were originally supposed to travel to Verona, Wis., for the Adidas Invitational, but coach Mike Nelson reassessed the field and decided that running in Peoria, Ill., would be a better setting for the tune-up before the conference season heats up. “The decision was made, and we decided to compete at Bradley and build our confidence a little bit,” Nelson said. “I think that prepares us best for the Big

East Championship and NCAA Regionals after that.” Injuries have plagued the Golden Eagles throughout the season, but the team will be running most of its squad on the men’s side. Senior captains Patrick Maag and Jack Senefeld will be racing after missing the majority of the start of the season. Senefeld finished fifth for the team at the Louisville Classic in 26:01:30 in the 8,000-meter run. He should be running closer to his 24:38 personal best with a few weeks of practice under his belt now. Louisville was a starting base. Senefeld is smart enough to run a tactical race and get back to his top fitness in the coming weeks. “I’m looking to vastly improve my performance and help out the team any way that I can,” Senefeld said. “I think everyone’s goal is to run as fast as you possibly can, so my goal is aligned with everyone else’s.” Several members of the men’s team will be racing on the

Bradley Classic course for the first time, but they are very familiar with many of the teams that will be competing. Senior Connor Callahan lost to DePaul’s Eddie McDaniel at this year’s NIU Invite and then got his revenge by beating him at the National Catholic Championship. DePaul will be there along with 21 other schools. Callahan believes he has the strength for a possible breakout race. “I like to think that I have another 30 or 40 seconds in me as far as 8K goes on the right day,” Callahan said. “I think Bradley is the type of course where that can happen.” The women’s side will be without one of its top runners in sophomore Elisia Meyle, who will continue to sit out races due to illness. Kellie Greenwood did not race at Louisville either but will be running in her first 6,000-meter race this weekend. She has been recovering from an Achilles injury and will be fighting to get back to the sixth or

seventh runner range where she had been before. Greenwood is one of four freshmen who will be making their season debuts at that distance. Nelson believes that the increase in distance is only an issue if the runners make it one. “I told the ladies, ‘It doesn’t matter if you were running a half-marathon. You’re going to beat the people you’re going to beat and lose to people that you were going to lose to,’” he said. “It only matters if you let it matter. Everybody’s got to race 6K.” The squad will begin to slim down after the Bradley Classic with only nine runners competing on both sides at the Big East Championship. Workouts, intensity and focus, however, will not change. “At this time, we’ll focus a little bit more on speed work, but we’ll still be doing our tempos and long runs,” Nelson said. “Things don’t really change that much. The effort by the guys remains the same.”

Freshman Lehman has gone through ups, downs

Freshman outside hitter Erin Lehman led the team in kills during the first two tournaments but has slumped a bit since. She recorded seven kills in a sweep of Western Michigan on Tuesday.

Green Bay, Wis., native striving for more consistency

By Patrick Leary

patrick.leary@marquette.edu

Coach Bond Shymansky always recruits in the hopes that the player he brings in will take the program forward. Eighteen matches into her collegiate career, freshman outside hitter Erin Lehman has advanced the program with her consistent play. “She’s super steady out there,” Shymansky said. “I’ve never seen her look dejected or throw a fit after a point. That demeanor allows her to follow. Someday, she’ll pull forward and be a leader, but she doesn’t need to do that right now.” Steady is probably the best word for Lehman’s season so far. She is the consistent rock to Lindsey Gosh’s wild flair at

outside hitter for Marquette. Lehman ranks fourth on the team in kills with 164 and averages 2.64 kills per set. “I’ve been working on trying to hit around the block, avoid the block and just hit hard,” Lehman said. “I’ve been holding back a little bit and I need to tell myself to just hit the ball.” Lehman started the season on a hot streak, leading the team in kills through its first two tournaments. But around the third weekend of the season, she started slumping. “I knew I was going to go through it eventually,” Lehman said. “It’s something you have to work through mentally. I got in my head so much. It will help me a lot knowing that when I get down on myself, I have the potential to bring it back out again.” Lately, Lehman has popped out of her slump. She had double-digit kills in both matches last weekend and

recorded seven against Western Michigan Tuesday. “I need to keep working on hitting the ball hard and placing it,” Lehman said. “I want to let my team know that they can have confidence in me and I will put the ball away when I need to.” Shymansky said Lehman’s continued improvement will be crucial to Marquette’s success this season and beyond. “She certainly has a bright future, but she also has a bright now,” Shymansky said. “Right now, she’s doing good things. Everyday we’re trying to get her to add little wrinkles to what she does offensively or blocking.” On Tuesday night, Marquette avenged a 2011 loss by sweeping away Western Michigan by scores of 25-23, 25-21 and 2519. Senior middle hitter Dani Carlson said the win was especially sweet because of last season’s defeat. “This was about revenge,” Carlson said. “We remember last

year and what it was like losing to them terribly on their home court. We didn’t want to do that here because we knew what they had, we could control.” Shymansky loved the kind of emotional performance his team put in because of the “revenge factor.” “I thought that was as intense, but also as excited, as we’ve been,” Shymansky said. “You could just tell there was kind of a happy aura to our team out there as competitors. I’m really pleased with that.” The emotion of the game was the focal point for Shymansky, as his team didn’t have much time to tactically or physically prepare with just one day between matches. He praised his team for promoting positive intensity throughout Tuesday’s victory. “That’s the difference between ferocity and frustration, and we were ferocious tonight at times,” Shymansky said. “We didn’t

get complacent. We didn’t back down because the scoreboard told us we could back down.” Marquette travels to New Jersey this weekend to take on Seton Hall and Rutgers. Maintaining confidence and a winning attitude will help the team defeat opponents who are inferior on paper, Lehman said. “It’s a huge challenge for us because playing on the road is so hard,” she said. “This is our first flying trip. Going out and having confidence and, as Bond says, swagger, as a team, that will help us a lot.” In the end, it’s up to Marquette to make the important emotional choices and succeed. “That’s where making that choice as individual players and as a collective team to be energetic, focused, intense, communicate well, that’s going to pay off this weekend,” Shymansky said.

Tough road test awaits unbeaten Golden Eagles Huftalin’s late goal against NIU enough to stay perfect By Kyle Doubrava kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

After sweating out a 1-0 victory against Northern Illinois Tuesday night, the Marquette men’s soccer team can bring its focus back to Big East play when it plays at Georgetown this Saturday. The No. 2/4 Golden Eagles prevailed against a feisty Huskies squad at a blustery and soggy Valley Fields thanks to a goal by senior forward Andy Huftalin in the 80th minute. Marquette heads to the nation’s capital with an unblemished 12-0-0 record, including 3-0-0 in Big East action. “It was a tough game to get anything going,” Huftalin said. “The conditions played a bit of a factor and it never really allowed us to get into a flow. It was a struggle for us for a little while, but we just kept barreling them over and over to start getting chances and finally, one good quality chance came for me and I took it. “We’re another win wiser, but it’s now going to be in the past and Georgetown is going to be the biggest game, because it’s our next game. That’s our sole focus right now.” Marquette was satisfied to escape with a win, but for coach Louis Bennett, the team will be addressing some glaring issues that surfaced Tuesday, notably taking 13 corner kicks without recording a goal. “That was a little bit disconcerting and something we’ll obviously address for Saturday’s game,” Bennett said. “Every game’s a big game, and I knew that they (Northern Illinois) would come in with a certain way to try and destroy our flow, and I thought we did a nice job of not allowing them to do that.” Georgetown enters the match with a 12-2-1 overall record, including 2-2-0 in the Big East.

The Hoyas know how well the Golden Eagles have been playing all season, and Huftalin is certain Georgetown will come out with everything it has. “They have high hopes to win the the league this year, as do we,” Huftalin said. “No matter what, this will come down to be a very tough game between two talented teams.” Sophomore goalkeeper Charlie Lyon, who tallied three saves against Northern Illinois to notch his seventh shutout of the year, recognizes the importance of each game from now until the end of the season. Lyon will take the same mentality he has been using in all previous games into Saturday’s match. “Every game I just try to show up and play the same game,” Lyon said. “It’ll be interesting to see what Georgetown tries to bring offensively, to see what they think will break us down. My job is to prevent that, but it’ll be interesting to see what they bring.” Lyon already went back to watch film of his Tuesday performance and saw areas he wishes to improve in, but this early analysis traces back to his personal playing standards. “It’s a pressure that I put on myself to perform to the level I’m happy with,” Lyon said “Each game I go in with the mentality that keeping the ball from the back of the net is my only focus, and that’ll be key for me moving forward.” Bennett gave the team a brief recovery, and he and the team will break down the Hoyas today and tomorrow. Giving the players a rest after each match before resuming normal operations has been the preparation style against all teams this season, and Bennett sees no reason to break a routine. “We’re not going to treat this any differently,” Bennett said. “Every game, win, lose or tie, we’re going to either suck it up or we’re going to enjoy those 24 hours and the next day we’ll go back to work.”

We’re another win wiser, but it’s now going to be in the past and Georgetown is going to be the biggest game because it’s our next game.”

Sebastian Jansson (15), Eric Pothast (12) and Anthony Selvaggi (7) take on No. 10 Georgetown Saturday afternoon.

Soler: Bronson still struggles telling sisters apart women’s tennis team, which features five players from outside the United States. “Everybody’s really helping them, from their teammates to their trainers and people they see every day,” Bronson said. “Everybody’s getting them to understand what its like to play at this level, and they’ve totally embraced it.” Laia said the team’s upperclassmen have been like family to her and her sister so far. “Vanessa (Foltinger) is like a sister to me,” Laia said. “And I wouldn’t say Rocio (Diaz) is like my mom, but she’s always telling me to do this or do the other. Ana (Pimienta) is so organized and Ali (Dawson) is so responsible.”

The new style of play and new climate haven’t been too much of an adjustment for Laia so far, but she said she’s anxious for what the winter will bring. “In Spain they play more aggressively, but here the girls play a lot more consistently,” Laia said. “For now (the weather’s) okay because we have this kind of weather in Spain, but it’s going to get colder and we’re lucky to have the indoor courts.” Laia said she and Aina have always been close and that going to school together was one of the pair’s top priorities. “One of the things I wanted when I went to study abroad was a school with dual scholarships for me and my sister,”

Laia said. “We’ve been close all of our lives because we like the same sports. We did gymnastics together, we would ski together. We luckily like the same things.” Telling the twins apart is no easy task. Aina recalled an amusing story in which she was ranked lower than her sister in a tournament and ended up playing Laia in a doubles match. After Laia didn’t play as well as her higher ranking had led him to believe, the father of the girl she was paired with complained to the tournament staff that the twins had switched places. Even Bronson’s ability to distinguish Aina for Laia took some time, particularly on the

tennis court. “I probably was the last one to be able to tell them apart,” Bronson said. “When they were together I could tell them apart at first, but it took a while to figure out who was whom when I saw them apart. It’s been kind of a fun process for all of us.” Bronson said the dead giveaway when watching the twins play is that Aina is a lefty while her sister plays right-handed. The sisters were also nearly identical in their praise for Marquette’s team atmosphere. They each believe Marquette’s spirit and raucous cheering during the matches is different from anything they’ve experienced, and they’ve embraced it wholeheartedly so far.
