Marquette follows ‘going green’ trend Dining halls to donate compost to urban farm Growing Power By Eric Oliver

An improved composting program will help boost the university’s efforts to “go green” as Marquette attempts to become more environmentally sustainable. Marquette’s sustainability department is in the process of rolling out an improved compost program. The university will begin donateature ing compost to Growing Powtory er, an urbanfarming initiative in Milwaukee, later this month. The compost program will take place at Straz Hall, Cobeen Hall, Schroeder Hall, the Tory Hill Cafe and the coffee grounds from the Brew.

Before switching to Growing Power, compost was donated to Kompost Kids, another local urban farming initiative. Recently, the amount of compost donated began to exceed the amount the organization could accommodate. Mike Whittow, assistant to the vice president in the department of administration, is in charge of Marquette’s sustainability practices and one of the driving forces behind the upgraded compost program. “It starts with Sodexo employees being trained on what can and cannot be thrown into compost,” he said. “Basically, it’s just putting stuff in bins twice a week, and then Growing Power will come pick up the bins and replace them.” The improved composting initiative is one of many steps taken to increase Marquette’s environmental sustainability over the See Sustainability, page 8

A group of protesters calling for the resignation of MPD Chief Ed Flynn made its way through campus Sunday.

Marquette’s sustainability department looks to improve its carbon footprint.

Protesters against the Milwaukee Police Department gathered Sunday on Wisconsin Avenue. The group of about 50 protestors called for the resignation of Police Chief Ed Flynn in the wake of the death of Derrick Williams in Police custody in July 2011.

Protesters walked across the city to stop and protest outside the Milwaukee Courthouse. They passed by Marquette’s campus and the Bradley Center, chanting “Chief Flynn has got to go.” Aaron Maybin, sophomore in the College of Communication, saw the protesters while walking to the Bradley Center. He spoke with a woman who identified herself as Williams’ sister. “She said her brother wasn’t getting justice for his death and that nothing was being done,” Mayvin said. She was carrying a picture of Williams. The controversy over Williams’

death reignited this fall when the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel obtained the squad car surveillance video of Derrick’s arrest, and the Milwaukee County medical examiner changed his ruling from natural death to homicide. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also launched an investigation into Williams’ death and practices of the Milwaukee Police Department. According to the New York Times, a status hearing to set an inquest date for the federal investigation is scheduled for Nov. 14.

News in Brief Graduate, news anchor dies A 29-year-old Marquette alumna and news anchor died Thursday from leukemia, only two days after doctors first diagnosed her disease. Jeannie Hayes, who worked at an NBC affiliate in Rockford, Ill., graduated from the university in 2005, the same year she joined the affiliate. She did not learn she had leukemia until last Tuesday, when she was hospitalized at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford and diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease. A memorial fund has been set up in her honor.

MU to host NCAA tournament Marquette will host the second and third rounds of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship in 2014 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, according to an NCAA press release Monday. The games are scheduled for March 20 to 22, 2014. “We are quite pleased to chosen as hosts for the 2014 Men’s Basketball Championships,” Marquette director of athletics Larry Williams said in the press release. “In many respects this affirms the commitment to, and stature of, the Milwaukee and Marquette communities, relative to premiere college basketball.” Marquette season-ticket holders and constituents will be able to buy tickets to the games before the general public. This will be the seventh time Marquette and the Bradley Center will host NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament games.

Allegations against voice of Elmo

The voice of Sesame Street’s Elmo, Kevin Clash, 52, was accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy seven years ago, according to TMZ. Clash has taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street. According to the website, Clash said “it was something between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not.” He said he did have a relationship with the man but that it was after the accuser was of legal age. The accuser is now 23. Sesame Workshop officials said Elmo will stay a part of the show.

Hunters warned about drugs In this season’s deer hunting regulations pamphlet, Wisconsin hunters are told to be suspicious of illegal drug operations on public land and that they should report any suspicious activity to law enforcement after leaving immediately. The addition to the pamphlet is due to the discovery of large marijuana operations in northern Wisconsin’s Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest over the last three years. Over the three years, law enforcement has made numerous arrests and had to confiscate weapons such as handguns and AK-47s. Almost all of those arrested were natives of Mexico. There have been 11 large illegal marijuana operations discovered in the state since 2008, mostly on public land. Last summer, 8,385 plants were found in the ChequamegonNicolet forest in Oconto County, while 7,000 plants were found in the forest in Ashland County over the course of the year. The street value of the discovered

marijuana is estimated at $2,500 per pound, with each plant providing roughly one pound.

US world’s largest oil producer by 2020

The International Energy Agency released the 2012 World Energy Outlook Monday, which predicted the U.S. will become the world’s largest oil producer by 2020. IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven said in the report, “North America is at the forefront of a sweeping transformation in oil and gas production that will affect all regions of the world, yet the potential also exists for a similarly transformative shift in global energy efficiency.” The report said the U.S. will become a net exporter of natural gas by 2020 and almost self-sufficient in energy by 2035. It also said that North America will emerge as a net oil exporter. “This year’s World Energy Outlook shows that by 2035, we can achieve energy savings equivalent to nearly a fifth of global demand in 2010,” van der Hoeven said. “In other words, energy efficiency is just as important as unconstrained energy supply, and increased action on efficiency can serve as a unifying energy policy that brings multiple benefits.”

Street Team to be written into MUSG constitution Group that helps plan and run events now a part of program board By Ben Greene

benjamin.greene@marquette.edu

The Marquette Student Government Senate unanimously passed an amendment to enhance the role of the newly founded Street Team and reassign responsibilities within the Program Board during its meeting last Thursday. The changes will take effect in the 2013-14 school year. The Street Team, which was established at the beginning of this year, is a group of about 40 student volunteers who plan and run MUSG events. Emily Wulfkuhle, a Street Team member and a sophomore in the College of Education, said the Street Team is

a good way for students to get involved with MUSG. “With the creation of Street Team this year, MUSG has given students a greater opportunity to have their voices heard concerning activities and programs they want here at Marquette,” Walfkuhle said. “By being able to publicize events that they find important, students are more willing to commit themselves to things that they find important.” The newly approved amendment will write the Street Team into the constitution as a part of the MUSG Program Board, rather than remaining an informally attached group of students. Additionally, the legislation will account for a Street Team director, who will be appointed by the Program Vice President. According to the MUSG constitution, the director will be expected to “1. Act as a liason between the Program Vice President and the Program Board Street Team. 2. Be responsible

Homes turned into urban farms Milwaukee idea named a finalist in national competition By Monique Collins

monique.collins@marquette.edu

A new idea will transform Milwaukee’s foreclosed homes and vacant lots into urban farms, community kitchens and food distribution centers. The idea has earned the city one of 20 finalist spots in Bloomberg Philanthropies’ “The Mayors Challenge.” Milwaukee was announced as a finalist on Nov. 5. The Mayors Challenge is the latest initiative of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Mayors Project, which focuses on spreading ideas among cities. Milwaukee’s proposal, titled HOME GR/OWN, will use vacant lots and foreclosed homes to bring healthy and easily accessible foods to communities. According to the proposal, approximately 69 percent of Milwaukee residents do not eat enough healthy foods. Milwaukee is also home to approximately 3,700 foreclosed and vacant buildings “We have a lot of homes, sadly, that have raze orders on them right now because of the foreclosure crisis,” Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said in a video made by the city for the challenge. The Milwaukee Department of City Development has begun developing maps to identify the best properties for this project. The Lindsay Heights neighborhood on the city’s north side is one of the hardest hit areas, according to Larry Adams, an advisory board member of the Walnut Way Conservation Corporation, a neighborhood organization and urban farm located in a former drug house in the neighborhood. “It’s the hardest hit area as far as black male unemployment and as far as foreclosed and vacant properties,” Adams said in the video. On Nov. 12, finalist cities will send teams to Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Bloomberg Ideas Camp, a two-day gathering in New York City where the finalists will refine their ideas. Afterward, finalists will receive coaching to prepare their ideas for final submission in January 2013.

The competition was designed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in order to find and spread innovative local solutions to national problems. In response, 305 cities submitted ideas, and 20 cities were chosen as finalists, from Boston to Phoenix. Barrett initiated Tournavation, the competition for finding the most innovative idea in Milwaukee. Ten finalists of Tournavation were chosen on Sept. 7. The team representing Milwaukee was the winner of that contest, HOME GR/OWN, which includes Matt Howard, director of Milwaukee’s Office of Environmental Sustainability, Sharon Adams, director of the Walnut Way Conservation Corpt, Sharon Robinson, director of administration for the City of Milwaukee and Maria Prioletta, redevelopment and special projects manager for the Department of City Development. Growing Power is an organization focused on bringing healthy and fresh food to communities. Founder Will Allen said healthy and accessible food is important for all communities, rural and urban. “Where there is vacant land, we are trying to think of ways we can get food out of it,” he said. “The increase in population and the decrease in accesible and healthy food is an issue in this country, and we need to take advantage of resources.” Allen said the majority of people have unhealthy diets because they do not have access to fresh and healthy foods. He said creating urban farms is the best way to combat this problem. Allen also said the problem with supposedly healthy foods is that they’re usually not fresh. He said someone could think they’re eating day-old broccoli when in reality it is more than 10 days old. “Through the process of (packaging) and shipping, the food we eat loses a lot of its nutritional value,” he said. “(Urban farms) are good for people who don’t have access to healthy food. It’s important that urban areas (are self-sustainable) because we don’t even know what we’re eating.” Winners will be announced in spring 2013, with a total of $9 million going to five cities to help jump-start their ideas.

for the leading, coordinating and tracking performance of the Program Board Street Team. 3. Be responsible for duties as assigned by the Program Vice President.” The amendment will also alter the responsibilities and number of standing Program Board Commissions. In response to the support and popularity of MUSG’s new Coffee House series, a Coffee House commission will be added. The legislation will also give the Special Events commission control over the tasks that used to be handled by the Films, Senior Week and Major Events commissions. Program Vice President Matt McGonegle, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the change was made because the aforementioned commissions were being underutilized. “As an example, Senior Week is only planning one event this year – the Senior Ball – and they do not receive any practice on smaller scale events until that time,” McGonegle said. “By adding them to Special Events they will get that practice and can really make something special out of Senior Week.” Executive Vice President Bill Neidhardt, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, and coauthor of the new legislation, said he welcomed the changes written into the amendment. “I’m really pleased with the changes we were able to make to the structure of the MUSG Program Board,” he said. “The programs MUSG puts on are one of the biggest forms of interaction between students and our student government. We want to make sure that we have the structure in place to best serve students.”

Senator Tommy Hayes, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, announced the approval of the new Chinese Charity and Language club on campus.

Senator Joe Daufenbach, senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said Students for an Environmentally Active Campus is making a push to eliminate the use of plastic water bottles at Marquette.

Financial Vice President Brittany Riesenbeck, a junior in the College of Business Administration, said the student organization funding deadline for spring club sports will be Nov. 16 at 5 p.m.

Startup Weekend successful Marquette graduate student one of 15 to advance to finals By Jennifer Zahn

jennifer.zahn@marquette.edu

Teams of entrepreneurs tested 47 ideas Friday through Sunday at Startup Weekend – Milwaukee, a 54-hour workshop hosted at Marquette’s Engineering Hall. About 120 participants gathered to develop start-up ideas under the guidance of experienced mentors in the field. A panel of judges assessed final presentations for awards based on each team’s business model, execution and customer validation. Matt McCordio, co-organizer of Startup Weekend – Milwaukee and 2012 alumnus, said 15 to 20 Marquette students participated. Startup Weekend, which was created three years ago, is already a global grassroots movement of entrepreneurs – the largest community of its kind with 400 events in 100 countries globally in 2011, according to the organization’s website. Of the 60 other Startup Weekends hosted worldwide this weekend, Milwaukee’s event was one of the biggest, McCordio said. The top award went to the team that pioneered groupmyfunds. com, a website concept that allows a group of people to pool their finances to avoid any single person fronting large costs, such as hotel rentals. The team earned reduced-price legal services from event co-sponsor Godfrey & Kahn, S.C., the chance to pitch their model to local business

accelerator Gener8tor and the opportunity to apply for the Global Start-Up Battle, according to McCordio. Of the 15 teams that advanced to the final awards round, one Marquette student qualified – Jesse Maier, a graduate student in the College of Business. McGee Young, an associate professor and entrepreneur faculty fellow at Marquette, said he mentored several teams this weekend, including the one that created Dineintime, a smartphone app that monitors waiting list times at restaurants so that its users may go shopping or wait at a bar in the meantime. When the team did research in the Historic Third Ward to gauge potential interest from restaurants, Young said the management responded favorably. “When you have such a short time frame and you want to deliver something by the end of the weekend, we try to help the teams focus on the best product they can deliver in that time frame and allow others to imagine what might come next,” Young said. Matt Howard – event judge, co-founder of UConnect, Inc. and founder of BrewCityBites. com – said he was impressed that the third-place team, an errortracking software engineering program called Debugged.io, was able to secure an account during the three-day event.

“Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone – you’ve really got to go for it and put your mind to it,” Howard said. “A lot of people talk about good ideas, but they don’t go for it.” Howard said he worked 40 hours each week to start his company as a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin – Madison in addition to working a parttime job. “It’s easier to do it in college because not as much is on the line,” Howard said. “College is kind of the perfect time you can do a startup on the side.” McCordio started skillspipeline.com, a professional services firm that trades referrals and contact resources, after he graduated. “My first company failed, as most startups do, and I learned a lot from it,” McCordio said. Young’s experiences as founder of H20 Score and co-founder of VeloCause led him to a similar conclusion. “Don’t be afraid of it – a lot of times, we are afraid to get it wrong and that if we don’t get it right the first time, we won’t get another chance,” Young said. “[During Startup Weekend], we can start a company and end it in three days and take that experience and go to the next level with it. The successful company will come along – you have to try and try.”

Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone – you’ve really got to got for it and put your mind to it.” Matt Howard, event judge

Baldwin’s victory considered win for gay rights Election results indicate nation-wide shift in public opinion By Seamus Doyle

seamus.doyle@marquette.edu

The election of Tammy Baldwin as Wisconsin’s junior senator marks the first time in history that an openly gay individual has been elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. In addition to this, three states, Maine, Maryland, and Washington, voted to allow same sex marriage, joining Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. A referendum in Minnesota that sought to constitutionally ban same-sex marriage was defeated. Responses to the election have been mixed in the LGBT community. “Our Senate is slowly but surely starting to reflect its constituents,” said Nicole Cunningham, a member of Marquette’s Gender Sexuality Alliance organization. “It’s pretty incredible that, in 2004, we had tons of state referendums pass which banned same-sex marriage from their respective constitutions. Now, just eight years later, it passes in three states on a single day.” Jolie McKenna, the executive director of the LGBT Center of Southeastern Wisconsin, said Baldwin’s sexual orientation shouldn’t matter. “Much has been made of Tammy’s sexual orientation,” McKenna said in an email. “But orientation is a minor incidental concern in contrast to legislative ability or success in garnering coalition, in the same way that

Illinois Representative Tammy Duckworth’s prostheses do not affect her ability to legislate. In the LGBT community, we simply consider Tammy Baldwin to be a smart, effective, progressive legislator. Whom she decides to spend her time with is her own business.” According to the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, an organization that supports LGBT rights and donates to the campaigns of gay and gay-friendly politicians, Baldwin’s replacement in the House of Representatives, Mark Pocan, is also gay and will be joining five other openly gay representatives. Wisconsin does not currently acknowledge same-sex marriages, but the state does recognize same-sex unions, albeit with limited rights compared to marriage. “The general consensus is that the states should handle the issue, and that seems to be what (President Barack) Obama is advocating for,” said Emily Wright, a co-president of Marquette’s Gender Sexuality Alliance. “I think issues like nondiscrimination should be at the federal level and that a marriage support law should also be at the federal level.” The Catholic Church has continued to oppose the expansion of same-sex marriage. “The meaning of marriage, though, cannot be redefined because it lies within our very nature,” said the Rev. Salvatore Cordileone, the Archbishop of San Francisco and a leader of the church’s opposition to gay marriage, in a statement released by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “No matter what policy, law or judicial decision is put into place, marriage is the only institution that unites a man and

fire hydrant and a light pole. Fox6 Now reported Monday afternoon that neither alcohol nor drugs were believed to be factors in the crash. Vice President for Student Affairs L. Christopher Miller said in an email to the Marquette community that the families and residence hall directors of both victims were contacted. Miller encouraged students who witnessed the accident or know the victims personally to seek counseling from either Campus Ministry or the counseling center. Lucy Kastonek, a sophomore in the College of Communication, found out this morning that her roommate was one of those hit by the vehicle. “I was told at around 11:30 this morning that she was awake, responsive, and even cracking

jokes,” Kastonek said. “When Tara (the McCabe Hall director) sat me down this morning to tell me the news, I was shocked.” Kastonek explained the seriousness of the situation and how difficult it has been for her personally, in addition to Marquette as a community, because the condition of the victims is not known to many. “You hear of it happening, but you never think you or someone you know is personally going to be affected by it,” Kastonek said. “I’m still concerned because very little is known except that she was seriously injured, and it’s been difficult to go about my day like normal because my thoughts are with her. But Marquette is a supportive community, and she should know she’s loved and being prayed for. Both of the students involved are.”

Phylis Ravel, an artistic associate professor in the Department of Theatre Arts, passed away Nov. 6 at age 69. Ravel, or “PR” as her students and colleagues called her, came to Marquette in 1997 to teach theatre and direct plays for the theatre department. Over the course of her 15year career at Marquette, Ravel brought social justice issues to the forefront of the theatre department, helping to select shows such as “Dead Man Walking” and “The Women of Lockerbie.” She directed her own written work in 2009, “Censored on the Final Approach,” which focused on female fighter pilots in World War II and their struggle to be accepted and respected. Stephen Hudson-Mairet, assistant professor and theatre arts chair, said Ravel pushed for social justice because she was at a school like Marquette, whose motto is “Be the Difference.” “The plays that (Ravel) did

were not well-known,” HudsonMairet said. “But they allowed her to focus on the social justice issues. She used theatre to explore social justice issues.” Hudson-Mairet said Ravel instilled leadership and passion in the whole theatre department. “She provided leadership and inspired the students and teachers,” Hudson-Mairet said. “The program needed a jumpstart, and her leadership reinvigorated the program.” Hudson-Mairet said Ravel changed the theatre department for the better. “(Ravel) allowed the department to pursue social justice programs and maintain professional theatre training based in liberal arts,” Hudson-Mairet said. Dylan Elhai, a sophomore in the College of Communication, took Ravel’s Acting I class and also worked with Ravel in the

production of “Defying Gravity” in February. She said Ravel provided a unique experience within the classroom environment. “She was a really creative person,” Elhai said. “She chose things that are very evocative emotionally, and seeing those things come to life on stage was fascinating.” The theatre department will honor Ravel through an endowment within the department in her name. A memorial service will take place in January. Hudson-Mairet said he believes Ravel will leave a lasting impression on not only the theatre department, but the students, too. “(Ravel) could be tough on her students, but she would do so with underlying love and support for all of them,” HudsonMairet said. “People all across campus were deeply touched by her actions.”

She chose things that are very evocative emotionally, and seeing those things come to life on stage was fascinating.” Dylan Elhai, sophomore, College of Communication

Puerto Ricans vote in favor of becoming 51st state

After previously voting on statehood three times, Puerto Ricans voted in favor of becoming a state last Tuesday. The reigning political party of the island is in favor of remaining a commonwealth.

Approval from US Congress needed to pass referendum By Alexandra Whittaker

alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

Puerto Rico voted last Tuesday to approve a non-binding referendum that would make the island the 51st U.S. state. Puerto Rico has been operating under commonwealth rule, and in a two-part vote, the people of Puerto Rico were asked to reflect on their 114year relationship with the U.S. The first part of the vote asked Puerto Ricans whether they are happy with the current relationship as a U.S. territory. Less than half of voters, 46 percent, said they were happy, and 54 percent said they wanted to change the relationship. While citizens in Puerto Rico are considered U.S. citizens, they cannot vote in presidential elections. The resident commissioner in the House of Representative has

also limited their voting power. The second part of the referendum asked Puerto Ricans if they wanted to change their relationship with the U.S., and if so, how. Five percent of voters called for independence, 33 percent called for a sovereign free association, and, in a landmark result, 61 percent favored statehood. Puerto Ricans have voted on statehood three times before, but this was the first time when the majority of citizens voted in favor. While this referendum was supported by a majority, it is non-binding and requires approval from Congress before being implemented. The party currently in power in Puerto Rico is in favor of the commonwealth, so it is improbable that a change to statehood would be approved at this time. Jose Fossas, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences from San Juan, Puerto Rico, does not like the idea of Puerto Rico becoming a state. He said the cultural differences between Puerto Rico and the U.S. are a reason not to create a 51st state.

“Becoming a state is the total destruction of the Puerto Rican culture,” Fossas said. “It doesn’t matter how Americanized we are already – we still have our own culture and identity. We are a different people, we are not Americans and we have our own culture.”

Justin O’Brien, the executive director of the U.S. Council for Puerto Rican Statehood, disagreed with Fossas. He told ABC News that if Puerto Rico becomes the 51st state, it would open Puerto Rico to U.S. government programs like supplemental Social Security.

Joanne Vazquez, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration from Puerto Rico, said she does not see Puerto Rico becoming a state in the near future. “Maybe in a couple of years, but not right now,” Vazquez said.

Even though Puerto Ricans cannot vote in US presidential elections, they are still considered American citizens.

Renowned author latest to receive honorary degree Oliver reflects on what she’s learned so far about life, literature By Melanie Lawder

melanie.lawder@marquette.edu

Acclaimed poet Mary Oliver, 77, received an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Marquette University in front of a sold-out audience of 800 people at a ceremony in the Alumni Memorial Union yesterday. During the ceremony, she read several of her poems and answered questions about her writing process and inspirations. “Today, Marquette thanks Mary Oliver for speaking to our hearts and releasing energies that inspire us to be agents of change in a world waiting to be made

more gentle, more just,” said University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz. The event began with a showing of a video of Marquette students reciting Oliver’s poem, ‘What I have learned so far,’ which was created last fall and shown at Pilarz’s inauguration. Pilarz, who has taught numerous poetry and English courses at Marquette and other universities, was very excited to listen to Oliver recite her work. “On a personal note, for this English professor and poetrylover-turned-president – this is a thrill,” Pilarz said, drawing laughs from the crowd. Oliver, who decided she wanted to be a poet when she was 13 years old, is an Ohio native and has been active in the poetry scene since the 1960s. She has received more than 10 literary awards, including

a 1984 Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, “American Primitive” and a 1992 National Book Award for her book, ‘New and Selected Poems.” Oliver’s poetry focuses on occurrences in nature and has been widely lauded and read by both academics and non-academics. “Perhaps most significantly, she has achieved a rare distinction among poets – her work is popular,” said Angela Sorby, associate professor of English. “People – not just English teachers – read Mary Oliver.” Despite being described as a “private person by nature” on her website, Oliver charmed the audience with her wit with anecdotes between readings and drew chuckles for some of her more humorous poems such as ‘Green, Green is My Sister’s House.’ The poem, which is about the desire to climb a tree despite the dangerous prospect of falling from

it, brought back memories about her own ventures as a child. “I couldn’t even get to the third branch,” Oliver reminisced about the tree, to the laughs of the audience. While some poems – such as the many about her dog, Percy – were lighthearted, others, such as “As Death Comes,” were somber and reflective. While she read some of her earlier poems, Oliver also read some of her current pieces, from her new book, “A Thousand Mornings.” Oliver offered some advice to young writers who want to be successful. She stressed the importance of always being prepared to write down verses when the inspiration comes – even if you are sitting up in a tree. “You have to write down as it comes,” Oliver said. However, Oliver warned against relying on the notion of

economic success as an indicator of literary success. “Think nothing of being successful,” Oliver said. “Think only of writing good books. Love your work. Believe in art. Forget the car you want to buy. Forget the apartment. It’s very, very hard from an economic standpoint.” After the ceremony ended, Oliver signed copies of her new book. Past recipients of honorary degrees at Marquette include Dick Enberg, renowned sportscaster; Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for America; Martin Sheen, award-winning actor, director and producer; Milwaukee archbishop Timothy Dolan; former first lady Barbara Bush; former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson; and former Supreme Court chief justice, William Rehnquist.

Sustainability: Marquette working to reduce food and energy waste past few years, as environmental awareness has risen throughout the country. Many sustainable practices are in place, such as a single stream recycling program and a food donation program. Marquette was even named one of seven “Green Colleges” in Wisconsin in April by the Princeton Review. While Marquette has made some progress in terms of sustainability, there is still a long way to go. Student Initiatives Marquette is doing an “okay job,” said David Mullins, a sophomore in the College of Engineering and president of Students for an Environmentally Active Campus. Mullins said he would like to see many more steps taken toward making Marquette one of the leading schools in green technology. He still believes, however, that Marquette is on the right track to becoming more sustainable. “From our perspective, there are always ways we could improve, and we’re always fighting to do more all the time,” Mullins said. “But I wouldn’t say that we are terrible either. I think Marquette does consider environmental stewardship. So it really is a part of Marquette and we really appreciate that, but we always think there could be more.” Mullins said that the upcoming composting project at Marquette is a big step to reducing some of the food waste. “We have students who are very passionate about post-consumer compost, and (putting cafeteria scraps into a compost bin) would be a great step because (cafeteria waste) is an alarming amount of waste,” Mullins said. SEAC’s mission is to create a greener campus, and it is trying to do so by chipping away at problems all over campus. “We take on different projects throughout the year, and we try and find those areas that need improvement,” Mullins said. “One area would be energy efficiency within the buildings – particularly the dorms. I mean, heating systems where people leave their windows open over the winter, that’s not efficient.” Mullins said leaving lights on is a problem that could be resolved by having more motion-sensor lights that turn off automatically after the room has been empty for a certain amount of time. Last year, SEAC’s “Don’t Dump, Donate” donation program collected clothing, leftover food and used furniture that may have ended up in dumpsters. In total, SEAC was able to collect about 25 used futons and donate them to Habitat for Humanity Restore, as well as clothing and food. “That was a great way we could collect what might have been normally wasted at the end of the year,” Mullins said. “(The end of the year) is a very wasteful time for a college campus, and we were able to turn it into something productive.” Administrative Support Jame Schaefer, a professor in the department of theology, is in the process of attempting to add an interdisciplinary major in global ecology to the curriculum along with Marquette associate professor of political science Mc-

In an effort to be more sustainable, Marquette will start donating its waste from a select group of dining halls to the urban farm initiative Growing Power.

Gee Young. Schaefer said SEAC has played an important role in increasing sustainability awareness on campus. “I think the activities SEAC has engaged in are really impressive,” Schaefer said. “They are able to propose and implement these various sustainability ideas, and it just baffles me that they have the time to do it. They are so dedicated and so committed.” Mullins said he has many goals for Marquette, but he would mostly like to see more progress being made in renewable energy efforts. “Personally, one of the areas that most interests me is renewable energy, so I think that I’d like to see Marquette take some big steps towards getting (more), whether it is in the form of solar panels or just starting to get energy from wind power,” Mullins said. “I think that is a big area that could be unique if Marquette moved towards renewable energy.” Mullins said to get these things accomplished, they need student support and funding. Neither of these initiatives is in the works at this time. “It’s a matter of getting a lot of students on (the side of sustainability), because Marquette, at its core, is for the students,” Mullins said. “If we could get the student population to be interested in environmental stewardship and moving to become a greener university, then we could start pushing toward being one of the top universities.” Mullins said the biggest roadblock to seeing sustainable initiatives is the need for a general understanding and urge to move toward a more sustainable university. “It’s very difficult for other people to see, especially when there is the issue of money in the way,” Mullins said. “It does involve investments and effort. One of the bigger goals of SEAC is educating the Marquette

community and the Milwaukee community to show the importance of why we need to become more sustainable.” He added that becoming sustainable is often worth the monetary investment. “You can save money, and that’s a great thing,” Mullins said. “But other times it’s not necessarily just money: you’re helping out the future generations.” Whittow said while Marquette focuses a great deal on sustainability, students have to start raising awareness for additional changes to take place. “Our goal is to create more awareness on campus and become a focal point in southeastern Wisconsin,” Whittow said. “Marquette being a Catholic, Jesuit university does a very good job with social justice and the social aspects of sustainability. Environmentally, we’ve had a recycling program since the early 1990s, which is pretty good compared to other schools.” Whittow said although the sustainability programs in place are successful, there is always room for improvement. “The university has always been sustainable from the aspect of social justice. That goes back way to 1881,” Whittow said. “But (the initiative to become a full-fledged environmental school) was starting in 2007.” Whittow said his ultimate goal is to see Marquette get close to “zero waste” for the entire university, but added that it isn’t going to happen overnight. “Sustainability is more of a journey than it is a destination,” Whittow said. “You’ll never hear anybody say they are totally, 100 percent sustainable. You can always improve on certain things. There is stuff you do very, very well. Then there is stuff where you could do better.” Kevin Gilligan, general manager for Sodexo at Marquette, said Sodexo is responsible for many of the sustainability

initiatives which are already offered, including composting. “At Marquette, Sodexo is directly responsible for many sustainability initiatives on campus, and we also support the university and its efforts,” Gilligan said in an email. “We work very closely with Mike Whittow and other university departments to continue to drive Marquette’s sustainability program forward.” Gilligan added that Marquette’s recognition for its sustainability efforts means the university is making strides in going green. “We’ve been recognized by numerous external organizations for our achievements, and it’s very exciting to see our initiatives come to life at Marquette,” Gilligan said. “At Sodexo, we believe that sustainability goes beyond philanthropy and good intentions. Every day we work hard to set the benchmark in areas such as sustainability, diversity and inclusion, wellness and the fight against hunger.” Gilligan said Sodexo has created the Better Tomorrow Plan, a “global promise for sustainability,” as a road map of its goals for the next 10 years. “The plan, which includes 14 commitments, has measurable targets that we are working toward as a company,” Gilligan said. Some of these goals include “reducing carbon intensity across Sodexo’s various partnerships, reducing water intensity throughout their sites, developing health and wellness solutions and promoting choices with reduced sugar, salt and fats.”

Looking Forward Schaefer said although the university is taking strides for a more sustainable campus, she would like to see more changes made. “There was an assessment of our campus in 1998 ... on how to make our buildings more energy efficient,” Schaefer said. “There were a lot of practical ideas, and students were engaged in the assessment and were actually paid to do some of the assessing. I’d like to see what kind of progress they’ve made in implementing some of the ideas that were recommended.” Schaefer said her biggest concern is making the current buildings greener. “All of our buildings need to be made more energy efficient in many ways,” Schaefer said. “It would be too idealistic to think that we could ever achieve any kind of LEED certification for our existing buildings, but the architect and the university are certainly making endeavors with new buildings right now to get them LEED-certified.” LEED certification is a program that provides third-party verification of energy efficient buildings. It is the leading indicator of green engineering. Eckstein Hall, Zilber Hall and McCabe Hall are some of the LEED-certified buildings on campus. “We have a long way to go, but there has to be a commitment on the part of the university to make sure it does happen,” Schaefer said.

Our goal is to create more awareness on campus and become a focal point in southeastern Wisconsin.” Mike Whittow, assistant to the vice president, department of administration

In the spirit of “International Education Week,” a project spearheaded by the U.S. Department of State and Education, Marquette’s Office of International Education will be

THE

TRIB Unbelievabubble.

offering 16 different events between Nov. 11 and 16. Erin LeMoine, Marquette’s director of International Marketing and Communication, explained what the week is about. “It really focuses on international understanding and really cultivating those experiences for students around the nation,” LeMoine said. The events began on Sunday night with a potluck dinner in Holthusen Hall. The potluck depended mostly on the contributions of students, who were

encouraged to bring a dish they made that may represent their cultures. “The potluck was really a celebration of all the different cultures here at Marquette,” LeMoine said. The second night of the week included a showing of the film “Crossing Borders,” which is about students from Morocco and the U.S. coming together and attempting to break down barriers and stereotypes. One of the cornerstone events taking place is a performance

and conversation from John Ondrasik of the band Five for Fighting. He will discuss what kind of world people want to live in and what a diverse culture looks like Wednesday in the AMU at 8 p.m. There will also be a pre-advising session for those seeking more information about study abroad programs at Marquette. Many topics will be covered, including where students travel, academia abroad, financial aid and more. Although the potluck has already happened, there is still an opportunity to have a multicultural experience this week at the Global Village Bizarre, where students can sample food and meet students from various countries from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Margaret Grace, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, is a student worker for the Office of International Education who helps coordinate the events happening throughout this week. “We have a diverse set of events for this week, with at least one or two things happening every day,” Grace said. “It’s a great chance to learn more about other cultures, make some new friends and have some fun doing it. I would strongly en-

courage anyone and everyone to attend at least one event.” Director of the Office of International Education Terence Miller said the week offers a great chance for students to experience the world without having to leave campus. “International Education Week is a series of events that celebrate Marquette’s global engagement,” Miller said. “It’s a unique opportunity to be on campus and have the world brought to Milwaukee.” The week will end with a fashion show put on by Marquette’s Bayanihan Student Organization. The show will feature many types of performance, including song and dance. Tickets are available in the AMU, and proceeds will go toward the Youth Development for Change, whose goal is to help underprivileged children get an education. Another event and can be accessed with just a computer. Students can submit photos to a contest representing their cultures on Facebook and can be voted on. The winner will be given a $100 give card from STA travel. A complete list of events can be found at http://www.marquette.edu/oie/iweek/.

Bringing back my childhood paranoia no. i heard about a person being elected to the senate.

Brooke Goodman

In our ideal world, people would be elected because the majority of voters thought they were the best option. In our ideal world, newspaper headlines wouldn’t say the first gay, black or disabled candidate was elected – they would say a person was elected. In fact, candidates of all social, ethnic and economic groups would win regularly. In our ideal world, people’s intellect would be the deciding factor for their decisions, not bigotry and bias. Last week, Bill O’Reilly said, “The white establishment is the minority.” What is the “white establishment”? And why on earth does it matter? Great ideas and role models come from people of all shapes, sizes, races, genders and any other “category” you can think of. But what if we stopped categorizing people and started embracing them? This method of rejecting different types of people and embracing those who are similar to us is part of this country’s past. There is no way we can, or should, forget our history, but we must also realize what is occurring in our present. The map of the Electoral College from the 2012 election looks very similar to a map of the two sides in the Civil War in the 1860s. According to the Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law, even the decision by the federal government on where to build highways across the U.S. has depended on the race and demographics of the people in the surrounding areas, creating or reinforcing racial divisions within communities. And yes, 93 percent of the African American vote went to President Barack Obama in this year’s election. It appears to us that the allegiance people feel to those in the same “group” and the prejudice that divides us are inherently linked.

A person’s identity is one of the most important things in her or his life. Observing and imitating those who are similar to you is part of that identity. According to the film “Miss Representation,” the same number of 7-year-old boys and girls want to be president of the U.S. when they grow up, but if you ask the same question when they’re 15, there is a “massive gap,” with significantly fewer girls than boys citing this as a goal. Is this because of the negative way mass media portrays women, as the film suggests? Probably. But it’s just as possible, as the film points out, that girls are dissuaded from becoming president because they have no predecessor to look up to. It is possible that this same theory relates to the overwhelming percent of African American votes Obama received. We think it’s natural to want to see someone who looks like you succeed because it reinforces the idea that you can also succeed. But what we really need to realize is that despite surface level differences, humanity is what connects us all. In that sense, we are all the same, and differences don’t matter. Who cares how Mitt Romney or Barack Obama tried to appeal to Hispanic, female or transgender voters? Shouldn’t what a candidate proposes to one group be just as important to all other groups? Diversity can only succeed when we don’t even notice it. Only when people of all kinds are recognized as equal human beings, not separated by race, religion, sexual orientation or any other factor, can diversity truly exist. As much as past events have shaped today’s world, we have power right now in determining our future. Our ideal world may remain simply that, an ideal, but there’s no sense in not trying to make it a reality.

As a child I had a rather abnormal bedtime routine. Instead of simply brushing my teeth and putting on pajamas, I had a checklist of safety precautions that had to be accounted for before I was able to fall asleep each night. First, I would sneak downstairs to make sure my parents had set the house alarm. Then, I would go to each door and make sure it was solidly shut and locked. After that I would sprint – not walk – upstairs to avoid the unknown that may or may not have been lurking in the dark. Once the downstairs was deemed acceptable, I would head to my room, where seven separate inspections of my closet and bed took place. Yes, that’s right ... I’d go back and forth seven times. I was lucky enough to have the attic door in my closet. I would stare up at that door of doom to ensure its position had not moved since the previous night. If it had moved, it meant someone had snuck up there and was living directly above me. In these instances, I’d go get my mom, and we’d push furniture in front of the closet door. From the closet I’d go to the bed, where I would thoroughly scan underneath it for clowns, monsters and little children (it’s an irrational fear that I’d rather not address). Once the closet and bed passed the test, I’d turn the light off to make sure nothing was staring back at me in the mirror. Only once I was satisfied with the checklist could I fall asleep,

facing my bedroom door so the vampires wouldn’t have the chance to bite my neck if I was turned the other way. Needless to say, horror films used to get to me. I like to think I hit a turning point during the eighth grade, though, when I kept the movie theater in business by going to see every scary movie made that year. Throughout college I’ve become so relaxed, however, that I don’t even necessarily lock the apartment door before going to bed. The stranger sleeping in my apartment this past weekend was a reminder that I should probably do that. Yes, a random girl slept in my roommate’s vacant bed last Friday night. We discovered this when one of my roommates saw the girl in the hallway putting her shoes on around 7 a.m. The girl said “Hi” and then went back into the room she had slept in and laid down on the bed. After about five minutes, she booked it out of the apartment. At first we thought this stranger may have been a friend of one of our other roommates, so we didn’t say anything. It was only after we came to the conclusion that none of us knew her that we realized she had somehow gotten into our apartment for the entire night without any of us realizing it. Talk about creepy. Luckily, I found out later that the girl had simply stumbled into the wrong apartment unit. She was visiting a friend who lived on a different floor and merely got mixed up on which apartment she was supposed to go back to. After we discovered the reality behind what happened, it was obviously somewhat funny and a great relief. Still, the experience reinforced a point – just because I live in a locked apartment building now instead of a house doesn’t mean someone can’t still get in. And from now on I think I’ll bring back some of that responsible childhood bedtime routine – even if it only means locking the door at night. brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

Escape from reality by watching your favorite films

Caroline Campbell The other night, I sat down in my living room with a couple roommates and popped in my scratched and well-loved DVD of “When Harry Met Sally.” Sometimes you just need a movie night. My roommates, who probably thought they were in for a quiet viewing of a cute rom-com, were soon (perhaps unpleasantly) surprised to find me saying all my favorite lines along with the actors, singing along with the soundtrack, laughing before the funny parts because I knew what was coming and spewing facts like I was part of the director’s commentary on the special features disc. For me, as for many others, WHMS (as my friends and I affectionately call it) is a comfort movie. Before my freshman year

of college, I received advice to find one or two movies that I could watch at any time of day and that would always make me happy. My collection of favorites at that time was already vast, so I went a little bit further. I have stacks of DVDs I can watch whenever I want that will make me smile and forget, even if for just an hour or two, the things that are stressing me out. My friends will tell you it’s difficult for me to get through a conversation without referencing a movie, even if nobody else understands or finds it nearly as amusing as I do. Warning: all of these movies are clichéd and ridiculous, but I love them anyway. So here’s my “comfort movie” list: 1. When Harry Met Sally: Obviously. “Eeeeh, I’m sorry, I need a judge’s ruling on this. Days of the week underpants?” You guys, it’s just so funny and so perfect, I can’t even begin to explain its perfection. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve debated the “men and women can’t be friends” issue with my friends. (For the record, they can – you can’t actually live your life under a movie’s guidelines, as much as you might try.) 2. Juno: When Juno came out my junior year of high school, I saw it four times in theaters. I took both my parents to see it separately, and it was my dad who

really appreciated the dry humor and wonderfully exaggerated characters. I actually asked my senior prom date to the dance by sitting in an old armchair in his front yard and chewing on an unlit pipe. Thank goodness he got the reference. If he hadn’t, I definitely would have been date-less for the dance (even though Juno MacGuff would tell you “dances are for nerds and squares”). 3. The Lion King: Sometimes, I regress about 18 years and watch this movie. The thing is, though, the themes of family loyalty, loss and pride are ageless. I still cry at Mufasa’s death, and I probably always will. Timon and Pumbaa are just as hilarious now as they were when I was four, proving yet again that Disney might actually be the expert in disguising adult humor in a way children also find amusing. 4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: The classic, the original and arguably the best film in the Harry Potter franchise will never replace the book in my heart, but it sits right there next to them. They have equal shelving in the library of my soul, if you will (even if you won’t, I’m proud of that metaphor). The magic of director Chris Columbus’ vision is perfection at any time of the year. ABC Family knows it, that’s why they play

it about once a month. But think about it: It’s perfect for Halloween, Christmas and a random summer movie night. 5. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist: This came out around the same time as Juno, and in my teenage angst, I found nothing more comforting than the realization that other teenagers (even fictional ones) found life just as awkward and uncomfortable as I did. A quintessential teen flick, it inspired me to make many a mixed CD for myself, my friends and, obviously, a crush or two. Some people may be embarrassed to admit that, but I’m going to own it and proclaim that some of the best compilations I have ever created or received were during my high school years. This movie, adapted from a tiny, hilarious little book, validated my teenage experience. I watched this movie more than any other during my freshman year of college, and I probably wouldn’t have made it through without it. These movies are more than just movies to me – they’re kind of like old friends that I can turn to when I need to boost my mood. They’re the best ways I’ve found to relax and unwind, and even thought they might make me cry sometimes, they will always make me smile. caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

A sickening Thanksgiving tradition

Tony Manno While I was in Pennsylvania a few years back, the stomach flu struck at about 5 a.m. Thanksgiving morning. My grand

feast was a half-cup of Canada Dry and a piece of toast. Granted, my massivequantity eating habits were not as refined at this age, so it didn’t faze me so much. Last year, though, the seasonal sickness ransacked my throat and put me in a hospital bed for the holiday. This condition developed steadily over the bus ride home to Cleveland, as I tried to distract myself from the pain with a paperback and unearthed Pokémon Silver. Skipping past an opportunity for spare AAs at the rest stop was my biggest regret – my GameBoy conked out just before the Elite Four, leaving me cold and alone with my enemy. Ten hours and a Vicodin prescription later, I was in the ER on Thanksgiving, being asked my height and

weight and whether I’m a smoker while my mother translated the various urbles and gurbles that took the place of my words. Images of pie and mashed potatoes danced in my brain. The rest of the day I was stuck spitting into a bag and watching Francis Ford Coppola movies. Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz is impeccable (and a nasally voice was perfect for a daylong impersonation of his Vito Corleone). This was not my finest hour, of course. My moment of victory came only the day after Thanksgiving, when I downed a cup of cherry ice cream after a surgeon’s late-night throat excavation. This year, my throat pain is back, coming with another vicious assault on my

eating abilities and on my morale. It struck Sunday, and I’m doing all I can to fight it off before Turkey Day, wearing three coats around the house and self-medicating with oranges and coffee. Hopefully the Thanksgiving plague is hitting a week early, and I won’t have to ration my yams this year. So that’s good news. But let my discomfort be a lesson, folks: If you want to avoid what is sure to be an unpleasant Thanksgiving tradition, wash your mitts, knock on wood and keep up on your apple-a-day. That is, unless you’re looking forward to a tonsillectomy in the near future. Otherwise, turkey prevails. anthony.manno@marquette.edu

Whalen, Morale to blame for cancellation

Anderson steps up in opening win Sophomore has near double-double in 21 minutes off bench By Michael LoCicero

michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Michael LoCicero By now, everyone knows the details of why Marquette wasn’t able to play No. 4 Ohio State on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown Friday night in Charleston, S.C. Condensation formed on the west side of the court, making it too much of an injury risk for all involved. It was the right decision, but a colossal letdown nonetheless. Neither Ohio State nor Marquette is to blame for the game not being played. Both teams still got a lot of great experience from the trip, getting a chance to meet veterans and active military members and helping to put on a clinic for children of military families on Thursday night. The real loser in all of this is the Morale Entertainment Foundation group. Morale event organizer Mike Whalen and the rest of his cronies should be ashamed that they didn’t have an appropriate back up plan in place for the game. According to the press release the group sent out a week before the Carrier Classic was supposed to be played, the game would be moved to The Citadel’s McAlister Field House if there was inclement weather. I guess Whalen didn’t take into consideration the fact there could be floor issues even though it was 60 degrees and sunny all day Friday. And why didn’t he take this into consideration? He wasn’t even in Charleston until Thursday night because he was at another function. A tarp covered the court Wednesday and Thursday night, and Whalen said, “When my people left the site at 10 o’clock the night before, there wasn’t any problem.” And on Monday, the group announced that the Carrier Classic would return to the USS Yorktown next year, despite the cancellation. Whalen said he and the organizers believe they have an engineering solution to keep the surface dry for next season. Whalen did say that there was water on the court Wednesday when the floor was covered and that the condensation Friday night was “maybe due to the fact that it was a rather warm day.” Well, Mike, I was there Thursday and Friday during the day, and it was about the same temperature both days. No discernible difference. The players weren’t happy the game was canceled, but all involved agreed it was the right decision. Ohio State guard Aaron Craft said he “saw a couple Marquette guys sliding from about half court to the three See Morale, page 13

Juan Anderson had a huge smile on his face Sunday evening in the media room following Marquette’s 84-63 win over Colgate. And why wouldn’t he? The sophomore forward was one point and one rebound away from a double-double after his first extended minutes since he came to Marquette. Anderson appeared in just 21 games last year, scoring 16 points while dealing with a shoulder injury that required him to have surgery in May. He also sat out the first three games due to an NCAA suspension. Anderson was supposed to miss up to six months because of the surgery, but he was ready to go Sunday. The 6-foot-6 Anderson dropped in nine points and nine rebounds, both new career highs. “It was tough sitting out after surgery, so I had a bunch of jitters going out there, but I loosened up after a little bit,” Anderson said. “It was really nice to get out there. I feel like I really picked up a rhythm.” Anderson admitted he hadn’t seen much action since high school and was pleased he was able to contribute substantially for the first time at Marquette. “I didn’t really know what I was doing too much last year, but now being experienced a little bit, it will definitely come a lot easier,” Anderson said. Coach Buzz Williams was happy to see Anderson finally show glimpses of his potential and hopes Anderson will keep contributing to the team this year. “His energy level is what helps us,” Williams said. “He had energy last year; he just didn’t have purpose to his energy. I think now he better understands how to play with that energy and have purpose in what he’s doing.” The Oakland, Calif., native

Sophomore forward Juan Anderson recorded nine points, nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block.

averaged 4.9 minutes per game last year, but Sunday he played 21 minutes and contributed two assists, two steals and a block. Anderson appeared off the bench ahead of freshman forward Steve Taylor and freshman guard Jamal Ferguson, which was a surprise to many. “I’ve been telling him the last few weeks that he needs to put me in a position where I can’t keep him off the floor, and the way he’s going to do that is by doing the things he did today,” Williams said. “He was kind of all over the stat sheet. I’m very pleased with him.”

Anderson was ranked No. 61 in the country by Rivals.com of all 2011 recruits and averaged 16.6 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game his senior year at Castro Valley High School. He just needs consistent minutes and a chance to get on the court regularly. “Any player needs consistency,” Williams said. “Your consistency has to be derived from your energy from within how we play. We’re trying to overwhelm you with how hard we play and overwhelm with our energy. “You will know as time goes along how many minutes guys

are going to play because how we play is how we’ve played however many games we’ve been here.” Anderson also knocked down a three, which Williams said the team would probably do more than one might think. “We have some sort of post presence,” Williams said. “The ball will not stick the way it would in DJO (Darius Johnson-Odom) or Jae’s (Crowder) hands. (The ball) normally does stick when you’re a really good player and you know that you can score.”

Unselfish decisions lead to 73-62 victory Team knocks down eight 3-pointers, scores 24 bench points By Trey Killian

robert.killian@marquette.edu

Marquette women’s basketball kicked off its season against Butler with a lot of questions Saturday night, the big ones revolving around who would emerge as Marquette’s go-to scorer. If the 73-62 win was any indication, the answer could be everybody. While sophomore guard Arlesia Morse led the way with 16 points, coach Terri Mitchell said the team will be looking to play unselfish basketball this season, getting all of her players involved. “If you look at our 22 assists

to 26 made baskets, I think that pretty much in a nutshell defines our team this year,” Mitchell said. “We’re very unselfish, and we want to get it done together. We don’t have any superstars. We’re rotating a lot of bodies because we want to run even though we look tired. We just want to push the effort and see what we can do.” The Golden Eagles got a big lift from their bench with nonstarters scoring 24 points and knocking down four of the team’s eight 3-pointers. Junior guard Katie Young had two of those 3-pointers, and they came in opportune moments to stretch Marquette’s lead. Young said her production reflected Mitchell’s new attitude toward offensive strategy this season that’s based on the confidence of each individual. “Confidence starts in practice,

and I practice my 3-point shot to become more confident,” Young said. “Terri’s very emphatic on us knocking down the shot that’s best for the team, so when you’re open and confident, shoot it. I like her a lot because she has no restrictions on our offensive game. If we think we can do it, we can go for it.” Junior guard Gabi Minix looked good running the point with 10 assists, but it was the support of her understudy, freshman Brooklyn Pumroy, that made another big difference. “I think it’s a great combination to have both Gabi and Brooklyn

out there,” Mitchell said. “Brook is obviously learning as a freshman about everything it takes and tenacity. Gabi’s just an unbelievable defender. She’s a great assist maker.” We can handle (as a team). We had Katie out there handling and Arlesia out there handling. We don’t want to be one-dimensional like we were with just Gabi last year. We need other people to take responsibility at the point.” Good situational awareness is a trait that Mitchell expects from everyone on her roster this See Unselfish, page 15

Marquette selected as 7th seed

THE FACTS: The Golden Eagles take on a 14-3-1 Tigers team that was ranked 25th in the country at one point this season. Princeton is powered by a solid class of seniors including forward Jen Hoy. Hoy scored her 18th goal of the season in the Tigers’ opening round win over West Virginia. Hoy leads the Ivy League in goals, points with 40, and game-winning goals with five. Senior Rachel Sheehy and sophomore Jessica Haley co-lead the Ivy in assists with seven apiece. Marquette heads into the match on a 15-game unbeaten streak, while Princeton hasn’t lost in 12 straight contests.

Golden Eagles to play either Northwestern or Western Illinois By Matt Trebby

matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

After winning 16 games this season, Marquette had the luxury of enjoying the NCAA Selection Show on Monday afternoon. “Last year we were all sitting in the locker room in quiet,” junior midfielder Eric Pothast said. “This season it’s a whole different story.” After missing out on last season’s NCAA Tournament despite winning the Big East Blue Division championship, Marquette is in the field of 48 this season, and is the No. 7 overall seed. It will host the winner of Western Illinois and Northwestern on Sunday at Valley Fields at 4 p.m. This is only the second time in program history the Golden Eagles made the field, with the first coming in 1997, when they lost to Bowling Green at Valley Fields. Coach Louis Bennett’s team will be able to host at least one game in the NCAA Tournament, and if it wins on Sunday, it will get to host another. After winning a combined 17 games in his first five seasons at

Marquette, Bennett has won 25 in the past two. “We had small steps, but every step has been forward,” Bennett said. “I believe in the third year I said it was like an iceberg, and there was a lot under the surface, but not too much above the surface. What’s underneath is now poking out and is now significant.” The Golden Eagles were the ninth seeded team announced and throughout the selection show got a better idea of what seed they may end up getting. “I was pretty confident we’d be getting a bye,” redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Charlie Lyon said. “I didn’t know where we were going to be placed, but as the numbers kept rolling on, I was thinking ‘seven,’ and that’s where we ended up.” Attendance of the team’s matches has increased throughout the season, highlighted by the 1,353 that packed Valley Fields for the visit of then No. 2 Connecticut on October 6th. For Bennett, this is a way to reward those who have been present to support the team this season. “We started to see a lot of the community coming out, and a lot of the student base growing and growing, and this is what they deserve,” Bennett said. “They will have the opportunity to see an NCAA Tournament game at Valley Fields.” Marquette has already played

Western Illinois this season at Valley Fields, beating them 3-0 back on September 8th. The Leathernecks won the Summit League Tournament and finished the regular season with a 7-8-4 overall record. The Northwestern Wildcats were co-Big Ten regular season champions and finished the season 11-5-4. “I think it’s good because we’ve seen them in person, but no matter who we get – Western or Northwestern – we’re going to be prepared,” Lyon said. “We’re going to do our homework on them, and we’ll be ready for the game.” According to Bennett, now the team’s third part of the season has started, with the first two being regular season play and the Big East Tournament. Its focus will be on getting to the Final Four in Hoover, Ala., and becoming national champions. “We’re in it to win it. We’ve always said that,” Bennett said. “We’ve never done anything just to be happy to be there right from the first day I got on campus.” “From here, a whole new chapter of our season starts,” Pothast said. “All the guys on our team are really excited about the opportunity. Our end goal is to get to Hoover, and just thinking about it, there’s a very realistic chance that dream can become a reality.”

Nikki Klingsporn was one of the more important players in the development of the Marquette volleyball program. The setter, who transferred to Marquette after two seasons as a Wisconsin Badger, cemented her name in the Golden Eagle record books in just two seasons under head coach Bond Shymansky. As a senior, Klingsporn was a First Team All-Big East player and also was an AVCA AllAmerica Honorable Mention. She ranks fourth all-time in career assists as a Golden Eagle and had the fourth most assists in one season with 1,391 as a

senior. She had the eighth most as a junior with 1,235. After finishing her career and graduating from Marquette, Klingsporn went on to play professionally in the spring of 2011 in Frankfurt, Germany, for VC Wiesbaden in the Bundesliga Damen. Afterwards, she decided to head back to Milwaukee, returning to Marquette as a volunteer coach for the 2011 season. This past March, Klingsporn made the switch to the east side of Milwaukee, accepting an assistant coaching job at UWMilwaukee. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Morale: Condensation should’ve been forseen point line.” Marquette freshman forward Steve Taylor said it “was like somebody spilled water.” Junior forward Jamil Wilson agreed. “Nobody even thought about condensation,” Wilson said. “But I don’t know why that didn’t cross anyone’s mind.” Whalen said somewhere between 85 and 90 percent of the tickets were given away to military families and local schools in the Charleston area. That’s great, and that’s how it should be. But that 10 to 15 percent of people who did shell out $500 a ticket walked away without seeing a great matchup. The Notre Dame women’s team took down Ohio State 5751 earlier in the day, but the main event was the Golden Eagles and the Buckeyes. There was no way either team could make the game

up Saturday, because both teams played games Sunday. There really isn’t a lot of blame to go around here. This has to be the end of night games being played outdoors. The same thing happened after a half in Jacksonville with the FloridaGeorgetown game. The fault lies almost solely in the hands of the marketing and entertainment group involved. Check the floor each night around game time and move the game to The Citadel if necessary. Yes, it would have still been a big letdown to play the game indoors at a 6,000-seat facility, but at least the game would have been played, and everyone involved wouldn’t have left feeling a little cheated. michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Princeton awaits in Provo after 3-0 win over Redbirds By Kyle Doubrava

kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

Although the NCAA Tournament is all too familiar territory for the Marquette women’s soccer team, the Golden Eagles didn’t feel any less satisfied in their 3-0 win over Illinois State Friday night. Seeded No. 4 in its region, Marquette scored less than four minutes into the match through a goal by senior forward Lisa Philbin, and it didn’t look back. In the 27th minute, the Golden Eagles went up 2-0 when senior defender Ally Miller sent in a bullet from about 25 yards out. Sophomore midfielder Mary Luba punched in the team’s third and final goal with 21:30 remaining in the second half. Marquette’s unbeaten streak has now reached 15 matches. The Golden Eagles advance to the second round of the tournament for the third straight year and will play Princeton in Provo, Utah, Thursday at 4 p.m. “We’re elated to have won the game,” coach Markus Roeders said. “I thought we came out really strong. At this time of year, you look forward to winning and moving forward.” The Golden Eagles used precise ball movement in the first half against a seemingly fatigued Redbirds team to jump out to a quick lead. Illinois State, however, felt a sudden sense of urgency opening the second half and managed to up its aggressiveness on the offensive end. A shot heading for the top corner of the goal in the 55th minute was swatted away just in time by freshman goalkeeper Amanda Engel. Roeders was not surprised at how gritty the Redbirds played coming out of intermission. “They’re a dangerous team,” he said. “They’ve had a fantastic

season. They won their conference and they’ve been in some big matches. We’ve seen them before, although it was in the spring, but they’re always dangerous to score a goal. I don’t think you could have expected anything less.” Miller said that in first round games the underdog team will be doing everything it can to pull an upset. After Illinois State’s lackadaisical first half, she was expecting their play to elevate as the match progressed. “It’s not a guarantee that you’re going to win,” Miller said. “Every team wants to come out and play like they have nothing to lose. It’s the end of their season, so everybody’s going to come out with a fight. It’s never going to be something that’s handed to us. We’re going to have to work hard and hopefully keep it going.” Friday’s shutout marks the team’s 16th of the season, the most in the nation. It also marked the first time the Redbirds have been shut out this season. Roeders said he has been impressed with the defense from the start of the year. “When you have 16 shutouts, you’re going to end up winning a lot of games if you score goals,” Roeders said. “That’s what we’ve been doing, and 17-2-2 speaks for itself. I think our defense is outstanding, and it showcases our strengths on both ends of the field.” With the way Marquette has been performing all season, there’s almost certainly an increasing sense of pressure for the Golden Eagles to continue to play well, especially on a national stage like the NCAA Tournament. Philbin said she wants the squad to play its game as well as possible and focus less on the teams targeting them as they advance in the bracket. “There’s always an X on your back when you’re doing well,” Philbin said. “We haven’t lost in a long time. So there’s always pressure, but I think our biggest pressure is playing our game. If we can play our game for 90 minutes, then we’re very satisfied.”

Runners illuminated Marquette’s Central Mall last week with glow sticks, neon colored shirts and loud music. Late Night Marquette, the Fitness Assessment Center, Muscle Milk, and WMUR teamed up to create a 5,000-meter race around campus with a disco club feel. Last year, the Fitness Assessment Center held a pre-game 5,000-meter race prior to Marquette’s basketball game against Georgetown. Only 80 participants showed up to run on a morning with snow still on the ground. With no snow in the forecast, more than 300 people signed up to participate in the Glow Run 5K. Among them were competitive runners from the Marquette Running Club and amateur walkers out to have fun. Freshman Alex Miller is only a few months removed from the end of his competitive running career

at James B. Conant High School, where he was an Illinois state qualifier in cross-country and competed at the Nike Cross-Country Regionals. He was the first of three members of the Marquette running team that crossed the finish line and won with a time of 17:26. Although the opportunity was presented for him to run at Loyola University Chicago, he decided to come to Marquette for its nursing and honors programs. He wanted his focus to be on his studies, so he decided against running Division I in college, but he still runs about 80 miles per week as a member of the club team and while individually training with a partner. He has not dismissed the thought of trying to walk on to the varsity team, but he is content with how things are going now. “After freshman year, we’ll see what happens with balancing school and where I stand with all that,” Miller said. “Right now I’m happy running for the club, but if something happens I wouldn’t be completely against it.” Miller took out the race with a pack of faster runners. Among them were members of the club team that ran the Lakefront Marathon this year, one of which earned a Boston

Marathon qualifier. It was a threeman race up until the final turn where a kick by Miller earned him the victory. Amateur runners like sophomore Michael Lenoch enjoyed the race as a fun run. He ran eight miles earlier in the day but still managed to hit a 5,000-meter personal best. “Having that atmosphere of having a lot of people was a lot of fun,” Lenoch said. “By the time I got to my second lap and I started to pass some walkers, it was was a good morale booster.” After the race, runners were invited to drink free Muscle Milk provided by the race sponsor. Massages were also provided by members of the Fitness Assessment Center and physical therapy majors. There are no other races planned by Marquette’s student government yet for the winter. Tyler Gregory, a junior exercise physiology major and Fitness Assessment Center intern, plans to work off the success of the Glow Run for future races. “I was really happy by the number of participants we had,” Gregory said. “We have a meeting coming up. We’ll discuss whether there will be another one in the spring or if it will just be annual. Things will be figured out soon.”

season. On a team with admittedly no definite lead scorer, she said the emphasis will be on each player’s decisions with the basketball. “We’ve talked about process,” Mitchell said. “Not results but process. If this is a good shot for

your team, you take it.” And that changes from game to game, so Marquette won’t be taking its success from beyond the arch to heart. “We had eight 3-pointers, but I wouldn’t say we’re going to go

into the next game and think we have to have eight to 10 3-pointers,” Mitchell said. “We want to look inside and put the pressure on and kick it out to shooters who have their feet under them. Again, it goes back to unselfishness.”

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Sweep of Notre Dame lifts MU to No. 2 in Big East Golden Eagles finish regular season with big day against rival By Patrick Leary

patrick.leary@marquette.edu

Coming off of its first sweep loss of the season on Friday at Louisville, the Marquette women’s volleyball team needed to respond. It was senior day, and the Golden Eagles were facing archrival Notre Dame with a chance to lock up second place in the Big East with a victory. The Golden Eagles bounced back from the defeat to the Cardinals by sweeping the Fighting Irish 25-16, 25-17, 25-22 in perhaps their most impressive effort of the season. “It wasn’t flawless,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “It wasn’t perfect, but I thought the intensity level was really championship-caliber. Our team was stinging from the loss at Louisville.” The sweep meant a lot for Marquette, as it had struggled to finish off matches against inferior opponents in the Big East. Notre Dame is perhaps Marquette’s closest mirror in the conference, so the sweep definitely put some wind back in the team’s sails. “Part of the difference in getting the sweep is playing at home in this great environment,” Shymansky said. “Part of it is having senior day with that little bit of extra emotional energy. Our serving and passing (were) really good.”

The difference on Sunday did seem to be the added energy that senior day brought to the team. Seniors Dani Carlson, Holly Mertens, Kelsey Mattai and Carol Henney were honored in a post-match ceremony. “We have a really special group of seniors,” Carlson said. “I love all the girls. It’s hard to think about this being our last regular season home game. We knew we had a lot of business to take care of with Notre Dame today.” It was an especially important game for Carlson, as she picked up kill No. 1,000 on the final point of the match. She became the 12th player in Marquette history to reach the milestone. “Dani has been such a great teammate and such a great leader on the court,” Mertens said. “To see her get her 1,000th kill on senior night was awesome. I think that’s how it was meant to be.” Carlson credited her success to the quality of the team around her in her four-year career. “It’s a result of hard work with my team,” Carlson said. “I’ve had a lot of great setters and a lot of great teams. I appreciate the fact that it’s recognized.” Shymansky said he was glad that Marquette has so much postseason potential because that allowed the seniors to play without a sense of inevitability against Notre Dame. “There’s a lot of volleyball in front of us,” Shymansky said. “The seniors don’t have to play with that emotional baggage of knowing this is it, that every time I touch it this could be my last swing. That’s hard to do.”

The women’s volleyball team put its disappointing loss to Louisville behind them to end the season strongly.

Even with the knowledge that the team will play in the Al McGuire Center again in the Big East tournament, Mertens said the emotions were surging throughout the match. “It’s definitely emotional

celebrating senior day here,” she said. “We had a great team effort today. All the young girls came out and really wanted to win it for us. It was a great team effort to put Notre Dame down in three sets.” Marquette finished the regular

season at 24-5 and 13-2 in the Big East. Both were program highs in victories. “We keep raising the bar,” Shymansky said. “Inside the program, inside the league and now nationally. That’s really important.”
