About 30 Marquette students, former Palermo’s Pizza employees and their friends and family gathered outside the Bradley Center Saturday before the Marquette men’s basketball game to protest Palermo Villa Inc., a Milwaukee-based pizza company. Palermo’s is sold in university hall stores and the Bradley Center. The protest was organized by Youth Empowered in the Struggle, a student-led, multicultural organization on campus promoting justice for immigrant students and workers. The organization is the youth branch of Voces de la Frontera, Wisconsin’s largest immigrant rights organization. Saturday’s protest was one of many organized this year to protest the company, which YES and other workers’ rights organizations claim fired employees for trying to unionize. Palermo’s denied the accusations and claimed it needed to make cuts for financial reasons and because many of the workers were undocumented. The
YES accused Palermo’s of firing immigrant workers after they attempted to unionize. Marquette hall stores and sporting events serve its pizzas.

‘127 hours’ subject Site names professor among speaks to students top African-Americans in field Motivational speaker, inspiration for film, shares survival story By Catelyn Roth-Johnson
catelyn.roth-johnson@marquette.edu
Mountain climber, motivational speaker and adventure-seeker Aron Ralston spoke to an audience of about 1,000 students, staff and community members Thursday evening at the Varsity Theatre to share the story that inspired the 2010 film “127 hours.” Trapped in a remote canyon in the summer of 2003, Ralston was forced to cut off his own arm to escape what he said seemed like his pre-made grave. In Utah’s
Canyonlands National Park, he climbed through tight crevices within the canyons roughly eight miles from his car and a dirt road. He was using a boulder to stabilize himself while changing positions in the crevice when suddenly the rock shifted and fell, pinning him to the canyon wall. He used his hand to protect his face while he dropped more than 10 feet deeper into the crevice and found his hand trapped by the boulder. His right hand was instantly smashed to the size of a cardboard piece of paper. “Most of you know I am the man who cut off his arm,” he said. “But no one knows I was the man who was smiling while doing it.” Ralston walked the audience

Corrections In the page 1 article entitled “MU pulls FemSex workshop support” in Thursday’s Tribune, a quote was attributed to John McAdams that read “Empowerment is about making your own choices, not adhering to the FemSex agenda. I wonder how a class member who made the liberated choice to abstain from sex would be received in this group.” McAdams was in fact quoting Harvard Crimson writer Vanessa J. Dube, who wrote the quote in her article about Harvard’s FemSex program entitled “Both hands and a flashlight.” Additionally, the article contained a statement from the co-founders of FemSex that was attributed to Claire Van Fossen. The statement should in fact be attributed to both Van Fossen and Rachel Bruns. The Tribune regrets the errors.

News in Brief Health complex investigated Proceedings began Monday in an open-court John Doe investigation into the death of Brandon Johnson, a 25-year-old who was checked into Milwaukee County Health Complex Oct. 3 and died three days later after suffering a broken neck in the complex, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday. Assistant District Attorney Mark Williams said in his opening statement that Johnson was “physically OK” when he arrived at the Complex, and also had multiple blood clots and a condition that caused his blood to clot easily. Johnson was brought to the complex after a neighbor called and said he was “acting strangely” and that he had rung his doorbell at 5:30 a.m. “I have a sick son - I don’t know what’s going on with him, just come and get him,” Alicia Johnson, Brandon’s mother, said in a 911 call played in court.
Newborn cured of HIV Doctors announced Sunday that a baby born with HIV was cured of the virus for the first time after taking antiretroviral drugs starting 30 hours after birth, the New York Times reported Monday. The discovery could greatly reduce the number of children living with HIV/AIDS. The baby, who was born in rural Mississippi, will be only the second documented case of a cure for the virus if the report is confirmed. “For pediatrics, this is our Timothy Brown,” Dr. Deborah Persaud, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center and lead author of the report, told the New York Times Sunday. “It’s proof of principle that we can cure HIV infection if we can replicate this case.” If further study shows the drugs to be effective, the cure is likely to be recommended for children worldwide.

Urban agriculture heralded as solution to MKE foreclosures Proposal entered as city’s entry in contest for $5 million prize By Eric Oliver
eric.oliver@marquette.edu
A plan proposed by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to address the city’s foreclosures and the unavailability of fresh food in some neighborhoods is one of 20 ideas that could win $5 million in funding. The HOME GR/OWN proposal, part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Mayors Challenge Fan Favorite Selection, aims to take foreclosed properties around Milwaukee and convert them into urban agriculture centers. Four runners-up in the Bloomberg competition will receive $1 million each. Milwaukee residents can show their support for the project through Thursday by voting on the Huffington Post’s website or by tweeting their support via the hashtag #voteMKE. Winners will be announced later this year. Matt Howard, environmental sustainability director for the City of Milwaukee, said he is confident the project could win. “I think it’s a game-changer,” Howard said. “I think it’s a huge idea for Milwaukee. It can be transformative for our neighborhoods.” Howard said the idea started when Mayor Barrett wanted to find a way to connect urban agriculture with the foreclosure crisis.

Vos, Barca clash on Walker budget while ‘On the Issues’ Top representatives seek civility despite conflicts over policy By Jason Kurtyka
jason.kurtyka@marquette.edu
The top representatives in the Wisconsin State Assembly, Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican from Burlington, Wis., and Minority Leader Peter Barca, a Democrat from Kenosha, Wis., went “On the Issues” Wednesday to debate Governor Walker’s 2013-2015 biennial budget. The program began with the two discussing the current state of civility in the legislature, referencing the turmoil that plagued the assembly two years ago following Walker’s proposal to curb government employee unions’ collective bargaining rights. Speaker Vos answered first, saying he believes significant changes will occur in the state. He said the John Doe case was finally over and gave credit to Gov. Walker for pursuing the case and contacting the district attorney. While some of Walker’s aides were charged with various offenses relating to embezzlement, the governor himself was not charged.
Minority Leader Barca agreed with his Republican counterpart about looking toward the future, citing the bipartisan legislation the assembly has worked on so far this year. “Increased civility in the legislature gives confidence to the people,” Barca said “We need to set a positive example.” The sense of agreement between the two did not last long, however, as a clear division between the two legislators arose after moderator Mike Gousha asked for their thoughts about the new tax cuts featured in Gov. Walker’s budget. Barca said he wanted to see tax relief focused more on middle-class families rather than the across-the-board tax cut proposed by Walker in his budget. He hopes the earned income tax credit, which gives a higher tax return to lower income families, is increased even more. Vos countered by stating that an effort is already in place to close loopholes in the tax code and to decrease payouts to special interest groups. He said he readily supports the small tax deduction and hopes that taxes can be further reduced. “Wisconsin is a good place for lower income families to live because there is a good amount of relief given,” Vos said. “But Wisconsin ranks number
four on the list of worst states to live in as a middle-class income tax payer.” The debate continued when Gousha brought up Walker’s position on the Affordable Care Act. Walker recently said he would turn down federal funding for Medicaid and continue using the state’s BadgerCare system. Vos said there is no longer a debate about the Affordable Care Act and that legislators must now look to the future to see how it will be implemented. However, he said he agrees with Walker’s stance and believes the private sector could provide better health care solutions than the government. “What the Democrats seem to say is that we want more people on government funded insurance – that’s what Medicaid is,” Vos said. “I am not going to put the tax payers of Wisconsin on the hook for a program that’s unsustainable in the long run.” Barca quickly rebutted, saying that the federal government will pay 100 percent of Medicaid payments over the next three years. “Wisconsin tax payers are going to have to pay where the federal government would cover 100 percent of it,” Barca said.”Why would we make a decision like that?”
Tornado alert a false alarm, says National Weather Service Texts urging residents to take shelter sent mistakenly by NWS By Matt Gozun
benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu
The National Weather Service alarmed some students this morning when it issued an alert warning Milwaukee residents of an incoming tornado. However, it turned out the warning was nothing more than a test of the system. “Tornado Warning in this area til 10:45 CST,” a text
message sent by the service read. “Take shelter now. Check local media.” The text, which was sent at approximately 10:30 a.m. was followed by a message from the university’s Blackboard SMS service about 30 minutes later, which clarified that the earlier warning was just a test. The NWS made an online statement Feb. 27 announcing the test and said the test would be conducted only to test internal communication systems. “The March 4th test tornado warning will not be relayed as a wireless emergency alert /wea/ on mobile devices such as smartphones,”
the statement read. Following the accidental release of the message, the NWS quickly released an apology for the message from Jeff Crazen of the service’s Sullivan, Wis., station saying the mistake was due to a case of human error. “We issued this warning with a (Valid Time Event) code of O for operational instead of T for text. The warning did not go to NOAA weather radio, but it did go out as a live tornado warning through most of the digital vendor services,” Crazen said in a statement. “There was no threat of a tornado, and we apologize for the confusion and inconvenience that this caused.”

Palermo’s: Student group urges boycott for alleged unlawful firing National Labor Relations Board said in November that after a review of the case, the company was justified in firing the workers who were on strike. “The investigation into allegations of unfair labor practices against the Milwaukee pizza manufacturer found no evidence Palermo fired the workers in retaliation for union-organizing efforts,” Irv Gottschalk, NLRB regional director in Milwaukee, told the Milwaukee Business Journal in November. “Our goal is to have Marquette end its affiliation with this company and to remove all Palermo’s products from being sold on campus,” said Christian Villanueva, a junior in the College of Nursing and president of YES. Villanueva said Marquette Student Government will be hosting a public forum in regard to its affiliation with Palermo’s after Easter Break. “We met with the administration on Friday, and they seemed very open to what we had to say,” Villanueava said. “Most of them claimed they had no idea of the severity of the strike.” Villanueva said he thinks Marquette is more open to changing its contract with Palermo’s because it is a member of the Worker Rights Consortium, an independent labor rights monitoring organization that conducts investigations of working conditions in factories around the globe. According to its website, the WRC has support from 180 colleges and universities across the country, including Marquette, and its primary focus is on the labor practices of factories that make university-related apparel. The WRC compiled complaints from former Palermo’s employees. “We launched this inquiry in

response to a complaint by a group of Palermo’s workers alleging that, in early June 2012, the company carried out a mass dismissal of employees, as well as other labor rights violations,” one report on the WRC website said. “We found this was in retaliation for the workers’ effort to organize a union at the company’s primary manufacturing facility in Milwaukee.” The report stated that the workers who were terminated engaged in a strike that began June 1, 2012.
Sean Orr, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and a member of YES, was one of the main organizers of Saturday’s protest. “The WRC was set up to investigate cases of sweatshop labor around the world,” Orr said. “When they find serious labor violations at a factory about a mile from campus, that is something we all should find truly appalling.” Orr said after six days of campaigning, more than 500 Marquette students signed a petition
supporting the Palermo’s workers on strike. “Who knows how many thousands of students would be disgusted by the actions of this company, and by our university’s continued support for its efforts,” Orr said. Raul De La Torre, a former Palermo’s worker for more than ten years, spoke at the protest. He and 75 other workers were dismissed from the company last summer. “Before they fired us, they claimed they were our family,”
he said. “But they forgot that we had to provide for our families.” A representative from Palermo’s told the Tribune Monday that the company would be more than willing to hold a company meeting, allowing attendees to vote on the matter. “We think it is important to value our workers,” the representative said. When asked about the WRC report, the representative said “the investigation was poorly constructed, needs further explanation and lacks evidence.”

Technology: Williams’ research focuses on robotic coaches for kids nominees at a symposium in Washington, D.C. “I was honored (to be recognized) because the AfricanAmerican community lacks role models in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields,” Williams said. Williams said the lack of visible minority role models in the STEM fields compared to other careers contributes to the lack of minority and female engineers. He said women and minorities who graduated in the past 30 years and entered the work force are sometimes the first or only minorities or women at their jobs, which can be intimidating. In the College of Engineering, 80 percent of students identify as white, while 17 percent identify as an ethnic minority, according to the 2013 spring semester census. “Most people know who Bill Gates is, and some know Steve Jobs,” he said. “But it’s hard to come up with an African-American name in technology (today).” Williams started at Marquette in 2012 and is working with students to design robots to help combat childhood obesity. Before coming to Marquette, Williams was the department chair in computer and information sciences at Spelman College in Atlanta and a research affiliate at Georgia Institute of Technology in the human automations systems lab.
Williams’ end goal is to make humanoid health coaches that will give personalized advice and do exercises with kids. Some of the robots are designed to help kids with disabilities such as brittle bone disease to learn how to play sports. “Williams is pursuing an extremely creative, compelling and thought-provoking idea of using interactive humanoid robotics to address the emerging health issues associated with childhood obesity,” said Robert H. Bishop, the Opus dean of the College of Engineering. “The number of undergraduate students in Dr. William’s program is noteworthy as we engage our students in the process of discovery in harmony with our mission embodied in cura personalis.” Adam Stroud, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, helped work on the robots with Williams. Last semester, Stroud and other undergraduate students helped program the robots to interact with humans and learn to play basketball. Stroud said he enjoyed the experience of working in the lab and that the undergraduate lab research experience puts Marquette on par with other, larger universities. “I don’t see myself as a great (future) engineer without this experience,” Stroud said. Williams said the necessary steps for minority and female students to succeed in STEM

fields can be summarized by the acronym VERB: a vision of future success, high expectations from their professors, quality resources available to them and a belief that they can succeed. Williams, who has worked to increase the visibility and
opportunities for minorities and women in engineering, is not alone in recognizing the struggles that they face. “It is important that we in engineering higher education strive to create a place of learning that reflects – in as many dimensions
as possible – the world that our graduates will experience upon graduation,” Bishop said. “Unfortunately, we have not yet painted a picture of the wonder and beauty that is engineering to all segments of society. We must fix this.”

Various hopes when selecting the new pope
STAFF EDITORIAL

SEC schools’ pursuit of 14-year-old contrasts with MU Our view: Alabama and LSU potentially offering an eighth grader a football scholarship shines light on poor recruiting decisions – and shows what MU does well. In the 1994 documentary “Hoop Dreams,” then-recruit William Gates is offered a basketball scholarship by Marquette despite injuries he sustained in high school. The story, which follows Gates’ and fellow recruit Arthur Agee’s early basketball careers, is a “feel-good” one: Gates is given the chance to play college basketball and pursue a higher education even though setbacks in high school put that in jeopardy. When news broke last week that Alabama and Louisiana State were prepared to offer an eighth grader a scholarship to play football, we did not quite sense the same positive storyline. Athletic scholarships can provide an opportunity for students who may not be academically or financially able to attend a four-year university. But telling a 14-yearold he earned a place at a university before even stepping into a high school classroom places sports above all else and contributes to a culture that all too often leads to poor results in life after college sports. According to the NCAA’s database on graduation rates for Division I Men’s Basketball, in 2005, the most recent year for which data is available, Chicago State University and the University of Connecticut each graduated just 10 percent of their players, the lowest rates among the 347 Division I programs. Sixteen other schools graduated fewer than 30 percent of their players, with 33 more graduating fewer than half of their team members. A more recent study of 2012 NCAA Tournament teams by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport found that UConn graduated 25 percent of its players, the University of California-Berkley graduated 33 percent, the University of Florida 38 percent and the University of Michigan 45 percent in 2011. These are all schools that tend to pride themselves on tough academic standards. We are not saying schools should completely shut the door for athletes who do not meet the same academic standards of other prospective students. But we do think schools need to place more of an emphasis on academics if they are going to accept less qualified students in favor of athletic talent. Stressing education for athletes will make them more well-rounded and offer better prospects for success in the future, since most of the athletes will not end up playing professionally in their sport. As of last year, only 1.2 percent of college basketball players and 1.7 percent of college football players have ended up playing professionally. Of all sports, only college baseball had more than 2 percent of its players play professionally, a statistic that can be credited to the depth of the
minor leagues. This is hard evidence that education needs to be at the forefront for student athletes. Much to our university’s credit, and as alluded to in “Hoop Dreams,” Marquette excels at doing this. Former Marquette forward Joe Fulce told CNN in April how important his degree ended up becoming for him since he didn’t have the privilege of playing professionally. The same CNN story went on to call Marquette “a model program,” citing how it frequently graduates 100 percent of the basketball team, or at least above 90 percent. We applaud Buzz Williams and his coaching philosophy that emphasizes classroom success and building quality individuals offthe-court. Williams has not been afraid to suspend players during his tenure as Marquette’s head coach – if even for just a single game or a half, or in the case of sophomore guard Todd Mayo, a whole semester – in hopes that the players improve academically and personally. The outstanding graduation rates point to success in Williams’ style. On the other hand, what Alabama football coach Nick Saban and LSU football coach Les Miles are telling Dylan Moses, the 14-year-old they are on the verge of promising a higher education, is that his academic coursework and personal behavior over the next four years of his life are not much of a consideration at all in bringing him to their respective schools. If they are willing to give such little regard to the next four years of Moses’ non-football life, what does that say about their programs’ emphasis on non-football life? Schools too frequently fail in this department. An in-depth report by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” in 2009 found Florida State’s football program bringing in players with incredibly low academic ability, including some with IQs as low as 60 and reading at second grade levels. The report also showed former Florida State players working manual labor jobs after school, despite having NFL aspirations that had been set in their minds by the same culture that is being perpetuated by Saban and Miles – a culture that makes sports a priority above every other facet of higher education. A life in sports is not guaranteed at any level. It is a privilege, just as attending a four-year school without playing a sport is a privilege. Once a school starts to disregard academic priorities for athletes for the sake of winning games, it ceases to uphold what it is supposed to stand for and takes advantage of its student athletes in the process. We are proud Marquette is a model for consistently doing the right thing in this regard, and we hope that things turn out well for Dylan Moses, regardless of his college decision. Right now, his story is not the same as the feelgood journey featured in “Hoop Dreams,” but those stories are still possible. A school’s priorities just have to be in the right place.
I can distinctly remember sitting in my eighth-grade social studies classroom in April 2005 at good old St. Peter’s School and staring at a TV screen that displayed a live feed of the Vatican. It was on in the corner of the classroom while our teacher continued with her lessons. Every once in a while, she would glance at it, and 32 pairs of 14-year-old eyes would follow her gaze, checking for the white smoke that would signal the election of a new pope. Unfortunately, we weren’t in class when the white smoke actually was sent up, but I think my classmates and I did make it on a local news channel. Cool story, huh? Sometime soon, I’m sure that same classroom will have a similar live feed set up, this time probably on a more hightech device than a giant TV strapped to a metal wheeled cart. And this time, instead of just thinking, “It’s pretty cool we get to watch this happen,” I actually care about the person the College of Cardinals will elect to be the next pope. Since 2005, I have been confirmed in the Catholic Church and added another eight years of Catholic education under my belt. The past eight years have included 10 semesters of theology classes and a greater understanding of my faith and how the teachings of the Church relate to me on a personal level and in my everyday life. Yesterday, the cardinals met to discuss when the conclave to elect the next pope will commence and began discussing the type of man they believe is best suited to begin his papacy in 2013. As a lifelong practicing Catholic, I have my own ideas about what kind of person a pope in this modern age should be. Yesterday on NPR’s “Talk of the Nation,” John Allen, a senior correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter stated that two-thirds of the world’s Catholics live in developing countries “in the southern hemisphere,” but two-thirds of the 207 pope-appointed cardinals hail from North American and European countries. This misrepresentation is not unlike the wealth and education gap we see between American political leaders and most American citizens. While this is not something that can be fixed overnight, it is something that a pope can exercise some control over, since he appoints the cardinals. I would like to see a pope who is cognizant of the global Catholic population and who is able to search for
qualified Church leaders who represent and understand the concerns of Catholics in the developing world. Several of the eligible cardinals themselves come from these regions of the world and could bring new knowledge and perspective into the papacy. One of the biggest concerns for Catholics today is the stain of sexual abuse scandals that have pulled the Church into the public eye for extremely unfavorable, saddening and frustrating reasons. My own home diocese, as well as the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, have seen this scandal firsthand. Like many other Catholics, I find this appalling and completely unacceptable. The fact that prominent Church leaders are willing to cover up or turn a blind eye on such behavior, not to mention the fact that the behavior itself happens, is unacceptable for men who are supposed to be role models for their parishes and dioceses. My hope is that the next pope can adopt a policy that does not allow leaders who have committed such crimes, failed to report them or assisted in covering them up to remain in their prominent positions. Another controversial issue that many Catholics feel strongly about is the ability of women to be ordained as priests. While I would love to see women ordained in my lifetime, I know this is not a change that can happen overnight. It needs to be a conversation between Catholic laypeople, Church leaders, leaders of other religions that allow female priests and the pope himself. I believe the Church needs a pope who is willing to start this conversation and consider all sides seriously. Women can and do lead governments successfully; why not the Church as well? The pope has always been a mighty figurehead for the Catholic Church. The traditions upheld by the Vatican are important and can be beautiful. I truly respect the faith tradition in which I was raised and have been fortunate enough to visit St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. But I, like most Catholics, live far from Rome and see that if the Church wants to survive as a global institution, the pope must be someone who is willing to truly serve its people. I want a pope who is unafraid to visit Catholics all over the world and genuinely try to connect with them and understand how Catholicism applies to their lives. I believe the Church should not be afraid to grow and change in the coming weeks, years and decades to continue to uphold the faith it has taught for the last two millennia. My hope is that the Church guiding the children soon to be sitting in classrooms watching for white smoke will be one that can be responsive to their needs – not one that expects them to simply accept and blindly follow its teachings.

Disappointed faculty rally around FemSex To Father Scott Pilarz, Provost John Pauly and members of the Marquette community: We write in the wake of the administration’s decision to disallow the Marquette Gender and Sexuality Resource Center’s sponsorship of the workshop FemSex. We wish to express support for FemSex, to affirm the GSRC’s importance as a space for uncensored discourse and to encourage a culture of transparent and collaborative decision-making. The FemSex curriculum uses dialogue to promote the dignity of the individual person and respect among people. By affirming the worth and importance of female desire and fostering people’s understanding and appreciation of their
bodies and sexuality, the curriculum also cultivates a campus climate in which the sexual assaults that brought Marquette under public scrutiny two years ago can become less likely. As such, FemSex directly supports the GSRC’s mission to “provide a space dedicated to the pursuit of dialogue, growth and empowerment around issues of gender, sex and sexuality.” The GSRC has not only the right but also the responsibility to host FemSex and similar programming. We were gravely disappointed not only by the original decision to prohibit the GSRC’s sponsorship of FemSex, but also by the way that decision was made – at the request of a limited number of people and with no consultation of parties involved. Though we are heartened
FemSex decision came down to Catholic values Dear Marquette community, As president of Marquette University and director of the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center, we want to reassure the Marquette community that we remain fully committed to the center and its many programs for students, faculty and staff. The university will continue to support the educational and intellectual exploration of issues of gender and sexuality as we work to foster human dignity and justice. The prevention of sexual violence and discrimination based on gender or sexuality are paramount issues that we must continue to address with urgency and commitment. With the center just six months old, we understand that work remains to be done to have more comprehensive processes in place to implement its charter. We will address this work together moving forward. Last week, we jointly met with the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center advisory board to examine ways we can collaborate on gender and sexuality educational efforts that will strengthen our community. We know that open communication will ensure our center’s success and we look forward to continued community dialogue. As president, it is important that I clarify how I was alerted of the workshop contents and how I came to the resulting decision to withdraw university sponsorship. I first learned of the programmatic details when a current student emailed me. The student asked thoughtful
Professors’ attitudes always a factor By Brooke Goodman

Elementary school was full of potentially life-altering moments. There was Mystery Meat Monday, when eating the rubbery substance that bounced off the walls determined if you got to go home sick for the day. Daily monkey-bar battles showcased kids who could hang upside down by their knees the longest, rather than who was the strongest or most athletic. And the oh-so-pivotal new seating chart day provided ample opportunity for romances to bud. Perhaps the most fateful moment, however, was during the summer before school even began – it was receiving notice of who your teacher would be for the upcoming year. This moment defined whether you would enjoy school that year and if you would choose to act like a teacher’s pet or a rebel. Teacher assignments were fun, but the nice thing about college is that we can choose professors with whom we want to spend our academic time. These choices are based on
questions and did not request that I take action. The student has not spoken publicly about it, nor sought attention for his views. After reviewing the specific workshop outline, I consulted with university leadership and found aspects that fell outside our Catholic, Jesuit identity. As the workshop was already underway, I made my decision shortly after reviewing the details. My decision was in no way based on outside influence. Together, we recognize that at a Catholic, Jesuit institution tensions can exist when exploring the topics of gender and sexuality. But, we continue to have great faith that we will find a mutually respectful way to authentically explore these tensions so that we can ensure purposeful programming that meets student needs and is consistent with our mission and identity. In reflecting on the challenges of last week, we consider it one moment in a much larger and sustained approach to building a productive and respected Gender and Sexuality Resource Center. We pledge to continue working together to accomplish the center’s significant goals. Sincerely, Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J. President Dr. Susannah Bartlow Director, Gender and Sexuality Resource Center personal preferences, past experiences, references and an occasional RateMyProfessors.com score. If we don’t want to take a class with a certain professor, the likelihood is that we don’t have to do so. That is, of course, unless we do have to. Sometimes – just like in elementary school – the freedom of choice is taken out of our hands. Busy schedules, class sign-up times and courses offered may dictate which options we have and by whom they’re taught. Unfortunately, sometimes the class bubble on Checkmarq is red, and it’s a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. What makes this process more difficult is when the professor reinforces why you didn’t want to take her or his class. Whether it’s political bias, derogatory comments or unfair grading, sitting in a class for an entire semester may seem like nothing short of impossible.

by the recent opening of conversation around this issue, we urge the administration to partner more proactively with faculty, staff and students. We also urge implementation of transparent, inclusive decision-making processes on these issues.

Marquette wins third straight Simmons, Golden Eagles defeat Bearcats on senior night 72-58 By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
With 1:34 left in the game, coach Terri Mitchell subbed in junior Katie Young for senior Sarina Simmons. As she left the court, she received a standing ovation from the 1,327 fans in attendance. The Marquette Golden Eagles made sure Simmons’ last home game ended as a win, defeating the Cincinnati Bearcats 72-58. “It’s emotional. It was senior night,” Mitchell said. “Sarina means so much to all of our players. I’m really happy for the performance she had, which was rebounding, scoring, assists. She just did everything across the board.” Simmons led the team in playing time, putting up 34 minutes while scoring 14 points and bringing down seven rebounds. However, junior Katherine Plouffe stole the show. After only playing nine minutes in the first half due to two personal fouls, Plouffe scored the first six points of the half for the Golden Eagles. At the 11:49 mark in the second half, Plouffe made a layup, scoring her 1000th career point in a Marquette uniform, becoming the 23rd player to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Plouffe would score 20 points in the second half, shooting 64.3 percent from the field with two free throws, both coming on three-point plays. “I grabbed her at half time and said, ‘KP we need you’,” Mitchell said. “She just looked at me and said, ‘I got you,’ and I 100 percent knew she was going to step up.” Plouffe said she had to change her mindset in the second half and it made the difference. “I just changed my focus,” Plouffe said. “I was attacking the basket and I wasn’t hesitating on my shots.” Plouffe and Simmons were able to hit double-digit points by exploiting the middle of the Bearcats’ defense.

made sure to take the smart shots from high percentage areas. The Golden Eagles scored 30 of their 72 points from inside the paint and shot 50 percent overall from the field. Plouffe said the experience of playing the Bearcats once already this season helped the team come out strong. “We play the game we know we can and we will win,” Plouffe said. “Last game we played (Cincinnati) we didn’t and we dropped it. And we knew that if we played like we know we can, we’d win.”
The Golden Eagles made sure to score early against the Bearcats, jumping out to a 10-5 lead by the first media timeout. Sophomore Arlesia Morse carried the Marquette squad, nailing three threepointers before the third timeout. Her third three-pointer gave the Golden Eagles a 13-point lead, the biggest lead of the first half. “I wasn’t expecting to hit that many threes in the first half,” Morse said. “But it’s not because I made the shots; it’s because my teammates got me open to where I was able to make the shots.”
The win for the Golden Eagles extended the team’s winning streak to three games, the biggest for the team in Big East play. The Golden Eagles got their second win of the streak Saturday against Georgetown in Washington, D.C. The Golden Eagles beat the Hoyas by three points. Marquette started hot again, jumping out to multiple doubledigit leads in the first half, but the Hoyas would surge back in the second, getting as close as a single point. But the Golden Eagles would make their free throws
down the stretch. “When Georgetown made that run at us and we’re in our drought, we never lost focus of the game plan, and we never lost the lead,” Mitchell said. “Because we did those things, we were able to come away with a victory.” Marquette won’t receive a bye in the Big East Tournament, but the bracket hasn’t been officially released. The Golden Eagles have their sights not only set on a Big East Tournament run, but also on playing postseason basketball in a national tournament.
Men’s lacrosse captures program’s first victory 8-6 Team comes home from Colorado with win over Air Force By Ben Greene
benjamin.greene@marquette.edu
With a little less than three minutes remaining and the score tied 6-6, redshirt junior attackman Bryan Badolato scored his third goal of the game to put Marquette ahead of the Air Force Falcons. Freshman attackman Conor Gately, who assisted Badolato on his go-ahead goal, put the nail in the coffin just two minutes later, scoring the goal that sealed the first win in the history of the Marquette
men’s lacrosse program. Gately said the team’s 8-6 victory at Air Force Saturday validated the lacrosse program. “It was a great feeling to win the first game for Marquette lacrosse to put us on the map,” Gately said. “We knew we could compete, but we wanted to make the next step. Instead of just competing, we wanted to win, and we got the job done.” Through two games, Badolato led the Golden Eagles in scoring, with five of the team’s 16 goals. Despite his hat trick against Air Force, Coach Joe Amplo said Badolato “could not have played a worse game.” Amplo said it is important for Badolato to let the game come to him on the offensive end to improve his overall performance.
“When Bryan manages the game and is a smart lacrosse player, he is one of the better ones out there,” Amplo said. “When he doesn’t manage the game, then he struggles, and our team suffers because he is such an impactful player when he does things the right way.” Marquette’s defense, led by freshman goalie JJ Sagl, was the biggest difference in the team’s winning effort. Last week against Ohio State, Marquette scored eight goals and lost by 10. The team scored eight goals again, but came out victorious Saturday. Sagl, who tallied 14 saves, said he and his teammates rose to the occasion against Air Force, holding the Falcons scoreless for the game’s first 25 minutes and only
allowing one first-half goal. “I think we just played with a lot of confidence this week,” Sagl said. “Our goal for the defense was to give up the alley shots where we have the highest chance of saving the ball. So our defense played to our defensive strength, and everything just happened to work out.” In their game at Ohio State, the Golden Eagles limited star attackman Logan Schuss’ production, but the other talented members of the Buckeye offense beat them in the end. Marquette’s defense did the opposite against the Falcons, allowing Air Force’s biggest threat, Tommy McKee, to score five goals while shutting down the rest of the offense. Amplo said he was all right with
allowing McKee to score so much since the team defense as a whole succeeded. “I didn’t feel his five goals,” Amplo said. “He had them in different ways, and sometimes that’s just the way it goes. Sometimes there’s one specific player and the ball just ends up in his stick, and he is the guy who is the beneficiary of a lot of other things.” Now that the Golden Eagles have their first win in program history out of the way, Amplo said he is interested in finding out how his team handles success. Their next game is against Jacksonville Saturday at noon in Jacksonville, Fla.

Seniors shine in win over Notre Dame Lockett, Cadougan key factors in last career home game By Trey Killian
robert.killian@marquette.edu
With 18:07 to go on senior day, Chris Otule’s bucket stretched Marquette’s lead to 16 points. And he did it with a hook shot from his left, non-shooting hand. It was that kind of day for the redshirt senior and the rest of the Golden Eagles as they knocked off No. 21 Notre Dame in front of the second-largest crowd to watch a basketball game in Wisconsin state history. Coming into the matchup averaging around four points per game, Otule dominated the paint, finishing with a season-high 16 points and four rebounds. “I wasn’t surprised,” senior guard Junior Cadougan said. “He has that in him, and I don’t know why he holds back, like in practice he be dominating.” While Otule shined, Notre Dame’s leading scorer Jack Cooley struggled at both ends of the court. Cooley failed to score in just 15 minutes of play and was worked over several times by Otule on the glass. Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said Cooley was suffering from a “virus flu.” “The second half, I just said, ‘forget it’,” Brey said. “Let’s get him home and get him healthy for Tuesday.” After Otule’s bucket, Jamil Wilson helped put the Fighting Irish away, scoring 17 of his team-high 19 points in the second half. The performance tied a career high for the redshirt junior forward. In his last game at the Bradley Center for Marquette, Cadougan had a nice day of his own, scoring seven points, dishing four assists and getting two big steals. Marquette’s other senior, forward Trent Lockett, chipped in eight points and grabbed some late rebounds that coach Buzz
Williams said “won the game.” “He’s not the best player,” Williams said of Lockett, “but (with) his diligence and consistency, he’s an everyday guy. That’s why he’s fit in here. That’s why he’s started every day.” While starting guards Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant scored 37 of Notre Dame’s 64 points, Marquette’s depth served the team well, as the Golden Eagles won the bench-scoring battle 32-20. “When all 10 of our guys show up, then it becomes really difficult for me to get guys in and out,” Williams said. “I am not taking Jamil out when he is playing as well as he is. I am not taking Chris out when he is playing as well as he is. I am not taking Davante (Gardner) out when he is playing as well as he is. That is the kind of problem I want to have.” Key performances from both of its seniors, as well as one who may or may not return to the roster next year, paced Marquette to an undefeated finish at the Bradley Center. Now, with the rest of the season on the road and in tournament play, the team will hope to continue that balanced play.

Seniors Trent Lockett and Junior Cadougan spoke about their time playing at Marquette after the 72-64 victory.
Marquette has beaten two ranked teams in its past two games and is a very impressive 12-4 – tied for second in the deepest conference in college basketball – as it heads to the East Coast for the last two games of the season. The Golden Eagles are now No. 15 in the country, and the program is coming off two consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearances. Someone told me Sunday that Marquette was hitting its stride at the perfect time and that the team should at least make the Sweet Sixteen, if not the Elite Eight. Despite how successful the Golden Eagles have been this season, no one else who follows them seems to share that positivity. Whether it’s that they can’t win on the road or they don’t have a “go-to guy” that apparently every team in college basketball needs, no one believes this Marquette team can mirror its accomplishments of the past two NCAA Tournaments. This team has just as much potential as last year’s team to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. I see no reason to believe the Golden Eagles won’t get to a third-straight Sweet Sixteen or advance even further. Buzz Williams’ team has lost four of its past six on the road, and those two wins were convincing performances against South Florida and Seton Hall. The Golden Eagles started out slow in all four losses, and only in the game at Cincinnati did they come back and look like they had a real shot at victory. I don’t believe a team can go 16-0 on its home court but be completely incapable of winning on the road. Marquette can win on the road. The team fought its way to a victory in Pittsburgh, and while it did lose at Cincinnati, Louisville and Georgetown, I don’t know why that’s such an awful thing. The loss at Villanova wasn’t good, but the Golden Eagles took Cincinnati to overtime and almost pulled out a victory. If they had squeaked out a win in that game, would we still be discussing road woes? They lost a close game, and in games like that, the home team usually comes out on top in college basketball. As for having a go-to scorer, Marquette has two post players who are getting going at the perfect time. There are not many teams in the country with guys like Chris Otule and Davante Gardner coming off the bench. That alone is a big boost. While Vander Blue still tries to figure out how to finish games, Todd Mayo has stepped up his scoring, and Junior Cadougan has shown his ability to come to the team’s rescue plenty of times this season. I’m not guaranteeing an Elite Eight appearance or another Sweet Sixteen run, but it’s definitely possible. Regardless of whether Marquette wins both, one or neither of its final two games, other teams will be hoping to avoid the Golden Eagles when March Madness starts becoming hectic.

South Florida picks up win No. 2 Although it was by no means an upset win, South Florida halted a 10-game losing skid with an 83-73 victory against DePaul Sunday. The Bulls put together 83 points despite being 320th in the nation in scoring (59.4 ppg). Although it may be hard to fathom from the final score, neither team scored for the first four minutes of the game. Both teams are 2-14 and tied for last in the Big East. All teams except one will qualify for the Big East tournament next week, so while dozens of teams are fighting for spots in the Big Dance, DePaul and USF will be vying to simply qualify for the conference tournament. The Blue Demons have the more difficult remaining schedule, playing Syracuse and Pittsburgh. The Bulls have UConn and Cincinnati to close the year.
Louisville seeking revenge The last time Louisville and Notre Dame met, the Fighting Irish prevailed in an exhausting five-overtime contest. The two squads will square off once again this Saturday. The Cardinals have not lost since that Feb. 9 defeat, stringing together five straight wins, albeit only one against a top-25 opponent. It was apparent this Saturday how important senior forward Jack Cooley is to the Irish. Cooley played limited time in a loss to Marquette due to the flu, and his presence was sorely missed. Averaging 13.9 and 10.6 rebounds per game, Cooley will need to be at full throttle to sweep the season series against the Cards. Russ Smith had the last possession on two separate occasions in South Bend, but he misfired on both last-second shots. Smith, shooting only 40 percent from the floor this season, will try to pull it together on the offensive end this time around and give Louisville
momentum heading to Madison Square Garden. Big East players in the national rankings St. John’s freshman Chris Obekpa is averaging an astounding 4.04 blocks per game this season, good for second in the country. Obekpa is only behind Kentucky’s now-injured Nerlens Noel, but what may be even more impressive is Obekpa is averaging four blocks in just 25 minutes per game. The next closest player behind Obekpa in the Big East blocks category is Louisville’s Gorgui Dieng, averaging 2.59. Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams appears on two national lists. The sophomore averages 7.9 assists per game (3rd) and 2.9 steals (5th). Providence junior Bryce Cotton has upped his scoring to 20.2 points per game, which puts him 14th overall and first in the Big East. Rutgers guard Myles Mack’s free throw touch has made him seventh in the country from the charity stripe (90.4 percent).
Syracuse at Georgetown Saturday, 11 a.m. Syracuse enters today on a three-game losing streak, although all three were against top-25 foes. The Orange, after a probable win tomorrow against
DePaul, will travel to the nation’s capital to battle Georgetown this Saturday. Georgetown enters today 13-3, and Syracuse stands at 10-6. The race for first place in
the Big East is far from over, and with six teams separated by just two and a half games, expect this Saturday to be arguably the most intense game day of the season.

New league will retain Big East name Recent Catholic 7 developments signal new league next year By Patrick Leary
patrick.leary@marquette.edu
Until late last week, Marquette looked doomed to play an awkward transition year in the in-flux Big East during the 2013-14 academic year.
On Thursday afternoon, however, ESPN.com broke the news that Marquette and the rest of the “Catholic 7” will likely leave the conference this summer. “The Big East’s seven departing Catholic schools are expected to start their own league next season,” stated the report compiled by ESPN.com writers Brett McMurphy, Andy Katz and Dana O’Neill. The report also revealed two more important developments in the Catholic 7 saga. First and foremost, the schools
breaking away will bring the name “Big East” with them. The move makes sense, as there are more current Big East schools in the Catholic 7 than there are left in the conference. Secondly, Xavier and Butler are expected to join the seven other schools in the “new Big East.” Xavier and Butler have yet to inform the Atlantic 10 of their plans to leave the conference, according to the report. The end of the report also mentioned Creighton as a likely 10th team for 2013-14 and

St. Louis and Dayton as potential additions to complete the 12-team league by 2014-15. Notre Dame’s role in the developing situation is also the topic of much speculation. While the Fighting Irish are projected to leave the Big East for the ACC after the 2013-14 academic year, they may now leave sooner, since the Big East isn’t viable for them without the Catholic 7. Other reports have suggested they may play all sports except football in the “new Big East” along with Marquette for a year before transitioning to the ACC. The three leftover Big East schools – Cincinnati, Connecticut and South Florida – have engaged the Catholic 7 in meetings in order to arrange an exit fee. According to sportswriter Mark Blaudschun, the Big East holds a fund of up to $100 million to distribute among the schools. As a “penalty” of sorts for impending exits, the three remaining schools have proposed keeping $85 million of that for themselves, and passing out the remaining $10-15 million to the Catholic 7. The seven schools are reportedly asking for more money. The two sides hope to settle on an amount by Tuesday. The schools are trying to settle as soon as possible so the new channel Fox Sports 1 can make an offer for the television rights of the “new Big East.”

Hanson sets MU freshman mile record at 4:48.79 Agnew sets personal best for indoor mile in last meet of season
By Christopher Chavez
christopher.chavez@marquette.edu
Freshman distance runner Molly Hanson ended her first indoor season by setting the Marquette freshman record in the mile on Saturday at the Alex Wilson
Invitational. Her time of 4:48.79 was good enough for 10th on the day. The day’s two fastest runners, Notre Dame’s Rebecca Tracy (4:33.53) and Virginia’s Vicky Fouhy (4:34.87), punched their tickets to Fayetteville for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Hanson was the top freshman finisher on the day and ranked 18th in the nation for her class. If she continues to improve at the rate she did in 2013 coach Bert Rogers believes she could
be in contention for a Sweet Sixteen spot in the near future. “For outdoors, the goal would be to qualify for the first round of NCAA Regionals,” Rogers said. “In the indoor season, to get in the top 16 that’s pretty elite, but I don’t think that’s a longer-term goal that is outside of Molly’s realm of reality.” Hanson’s time also moved her up to third on Marquette’s all-time freshman list, where she now only trails Cassie Peller’s 4:46.00 and Michaela
Courtney’s 4:43.07. Peller previously held the freshman record and was in attendance at Notre Dame’s Loftus Center Saturday. “I looked at it as a last chance to break 2:50 and I did, so I was excited about that,” Hanson said. “I was also excited to break the freshman record with Cassie there for support. She was a really successful runner, so I think it was a big accomplishment to get that record.” Redshirt junior Spencer Agnew headed to South Bend with the goal of running the mile in the 4:10 range. He did just that by setting a personal best of 4:10.39 for the 11th-best mark in Marquette history. He finished 25th overall, but his fitness is at an all-time high. “Spencer is feeling confident about himself and running very well,” Rogers said. “He’s a guy who has had his share of injuries over the years, so it’s nice to see him have some success.” Senior Kyle Winter needed to set a personal best by two seconds in the 800-meter run to secure an NCAA Championship berth. He was unable to do so, but still ran his second-fastest 800 in a Marquette uniform,
while trying out a new race plan. “The goal was to come through the quarter mile in about 52-high or 53-low. I think he was 52.9, so he came through the 600 right where we wanted him to be, with the goal of running 1:49 or breaking that,” Rogers said. “He just quite didn’t have it over the last 200 and tired up a little bit.” Cheldon Brown was not able to record a clean mark in the high jump. The opening mark at Notre Dame was a centimeter below his indoor personal best. He ends his season with a season-best of 2.06 meters, which is .02 better than his finish in 2012. “(Cheldon) had a couple nice attempts. I don’t think he walked away feeling bad about it,” Rogers said. “I think we head into outdoors feeling pretty strong.” Marquette’s last NCAA indoor qualifier was Courtney’s 2006 mile run. Without anyone headed to Fayetteville, the indoor season has come to an end. The Golden Eagles will begin the outdoor campaign on March 14th with the USF Bulls Invitational in Tampa, Fla. A season preview will be in Thursday’s issue of the Marquette Tribune.
Late rally lifts MU over Detroit 11-10 Baas led all scorers with four to help MU overcome two deficits By Andrew Dawson Special to the Tribune
Losing nearly the entire game, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team fought from behind twice Sunday to defeat Detroit 11-10. For the second consecutive game, the Golden Eagles came out of the gate slowly, and Detroit jumped out to an early 4-0 lead. Freshman midfielder Kenzie Brown halted the Detroit run to put Marquette on the board, but Detroit added two more to take a 6-1 lead midway through the first half. Following the Titans’ fifth goal, coach Meredith Black pulled freshman goalkeeper Sarah Priem, and freshman goalkeeper Emma Salter took the field for the first time this season. Salter played out the half, making four saves and allowing only one goal, but Priem returned to the cage for the second half. Nevertheless, the switch definitely caught Marquette’s attention. The Golden Eagles sparked late in the half when freshman midfielder Hayley Baas scored back-to-back goals and freshman attacker Claire Costanza fed sophomore attacker Nicole Gleason for a quickstick goal, cutting the lead to two entering the half. “We all have a lot of heart and fight in our team,” redshirt freshman attacker and captain Emily Donovan said of the first half. “We just need to come out ready to play from the start. We just need to know that we are good and we just need to keep working together as a team.” Marquette began the second half sharply, tying the game 6-6. The tie did not last long,
as the Titans went on a 4-1 run to regain the lead 10-7 with 13:09 left to play. Again the Golden Eagles appeared to be out of the game, but again they rallied. Baas stopped the Detroit run with her fourth goal of the game, and her teammates followed her lead. Brown ripped one past the Detroit keeper, and Gleason scored on a free position shot to knot the game at 10. The fired-up Marquette team was rolling, but a lot of time remained. With two minutes left, Marquette foiled a Detroit clear attempt. The ball eventually found its way to redshirt freshman midfielder Anna Muzika, who scooped up her own rebound after her initial shot was saved and scored with 1:11 remaining. Muzika’s goal proved to be the game-winner, as Marquette won its first home game in program history and improved to 2-2 on the season. Baas led all scorers with four goals and an assist in the contest. She had predicted the success before the game. “It’s kind of ironic,” Baas said. “At the beginning of the game, I told one of our injured girls that I was going to get four goals, so then I had to match that.” Overcoming two significant deficits was no easy task, and Black said she is proud of her team’s unwillingness to give up. “I think in the locker room at halftime, we just said, you know we got to work, we got to work harder, we got to want it more and we got to be ready for a tough game,” Black said. “(The players) wanted it, really wanted it, and they were willing to do whatever it took to get (the win). I’m proud of them for that.” The team next travels to California for a spring break road trip starting at Saint Mary’s on Sunday and followed by San Diego State March 14 and USC March 16.
