Campus Kitchen puts excess to use Volunteers prepared more than 27,000 meals last year By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

Campus Kitchen Marquette began in 2003 as a service initiative aimed to combat hunger throughout the Milwaukee area. Now, the organization has more than 200 volunteers who meet in the basement of O’Donnell Hall and prepare 500 to 600 meals each week to be delivered throughout Milwaukee. Amanda Parrell, the campus coordinator at CKMU, said her passion for eliminating hunger developed after taking part in both local and national food service programs. “After volunteering with Midnight Run during my

undergrad at Marquette, I spent two years teaching in Malawi with the Peace Corps,” Parrell said. “Both experiences showed poverty and hunger in different lights, but I felt I needed to do something. I came back to MU to pursue a Masters of Arts in Public Service.” Now, the Campus Kitchens Project has spread to 31 schools across the country, according to the CKMU website. Parrell said in 2011, CKMU distributed more than 27,000 meals to those in need. While CKMU primarily works out of O’Donnell Hall’s basement, the project also can be found at 12 other service sites in the Milwaukee area. The meals are prepared using leftover food collected from The Brew, Marquette Place and other dining establishments across campus and then sent to hungry children and adults at the

Dentistry project moves forward $16 million, 45,000 foot expansion to be completed fall of 2013 By Eric Oliver eric.oliver@marquette.edu

The School of Dentistry began construction on an expansion Tuesday in an effort to stay at the forefront of dental education in Wisconsin and the nation.

William Lobb, dean of the School of Dentistry, is largely responsible for the $16 million, 45,000 square foot expansion and is very excited to see the project out to its projected completion in the fall of 2013. “The most exciting part of the expansion is anticipating its completion,” Lobb said in an email. “This opportunity will help to continue to establish the Marquette University See Dentistry, page 7

Traditions from Catholic and Sikh faiths were featured during a candlelight prayer service Wednesday night.

Members of all faiths gather to remember victims and families By Matt Gozun benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu

Guru Granth Sahib. The evening concluded with the distribution of candy, a Sikh tradition meant to symbolize the sweetness of God’s love and perseverance during times of tragedy. The Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek is located roughly 10 miles south of campus and has numerous worshippers with Marquette ties. Pardeep Kaleka, a 2001 alumnus whose father, Satwant Singh Kaleka was killed August 5, spoke at the vigil, where he memorialized his fallen father. “Sikhism to me is the way that you act and the way you treat other people,” Kaleka said. “It took

me a long time to understand just how much of a Sikh (my father) was. One of the biggest principles of Sikhism is that you work hard, you work with your own hands and whatever you make you give back to the community, thus we call it Seva. My dad’s hands were greasy all the time, and he had callouses over those hands all the time. Cuts, all the time.” Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, whose uncle was Pardeep Kaleka’s father, said the tragedy was a wake up call to fight the ignorance he described as

The new dental school will increase the graduating class size from 80 to 100 students with additional classroom space.

Members of the Marquette, Sikh and greater Milwaukee communities gathered last night to commemorate the one month anniversary of the Oak Creek shooting. The somber vigil, held in front of the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, drew more than 50 participants, with many of the non-Sikh attendees wearing bandanas on their heads as a sign of solidarity. The approximately 40-minute event featured prayers and traditions from both the Catholic and Sikh faiths, a candle lighting, moment of silence, and a reading from the Sikh holy book, the

News in Brief Joy Harjo on campus tonight The Office of Public Affairs will host Native American poet Joy Harjo tonight at 7 p.m. in the Weasler Auditorium, a free event to all students with the showing of an ID. Following Harjo’s performance, which will feature jazz funk music in addition to poetry, will be a talkback and book signing of her new autobiography, “Crazy Brave: A Memoir.” Harjo’s appearance is made possible by the Milwaukee Native American Literacy Cooperative, a newly formed group designed to bring the leading voices of indigenous literature and culture to Milwaukee, and is sponsored by the Office of the Associate Provost for Diversity and Inclusion. Harjo spoke at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee last night.

Strike looms in Chicago Chicago Public Schools began its academic year Tuesday with the continuing threat of a teachers’ strike, which could begin Monday, looming over classes. Contract negotiations between the district and the Chicago Teachers Union are scheduled to continue through Friday, meaning a strike can still be averted. CPS is already planning programs for students in the event that the teachers do go on strike. The district’s high school seniors, about 20,000 of them, may continue to receive credit through online classes and dual enrollment programs as well as assistance in applying for college and scholarships. The district has also budgeted for a $25 million strike contingency plan that will open the

schools for half days. Members of Service Employees International Union Local 73 working for CPS as custodians, security guards, special education classroom assistants and bus aides will still come to work Monday even if the teachers strike.

Voter ID laws in limbo Groups that stopped Wisconsin’s voter ID law in two lawsuits last spring are trying to halt an effort to have the state Supreme Court take over the cases and rule on them before the Nov. 6 election, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The plaintiffs in both cases, the Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera, said Tuesday that they believe the high court would benefit from having the cases reviewed by a court of appeals, also writing in a brief that “imposing the photo ID requirement in such a precipitous fashion will produce confusion and chaos at the polls statewide.” The state Supreme Court rejected an effort by Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen (R) last spring to have the cases heard by the high court. Van Hollen would have to get injunctions lifted on both cases in order to have the voter ID laws take effect for this coming election.

West Nile strikes near Seven people in Milwaukee County and three more in Waukesha County have

contracted West Nile virus, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The seven reported cases in Milwaukee are the highest of any county in the state, and the three in Waukesha the second highest according to the agency. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday that three people in Milwaukee have been hospitalized as of 2:25 p.m Wednesday. According to Webmd.com, anyone who has been bitten by an infected mosquito may get West Nile virus, though most people who have the virus show no symptoms. The site also states that the virus cannot spread from person to person through casual contact. When symptoms do occur, they include a fever, head or body aches, fatigue and nausea that can last three to six days. Severe cases may lead to a stiff neck, confusion, a coma or death.

Farmers market draws crowd A number of organizations around campus collaborated Wednesday for the year’s first “Fresh Fall Farmers Market.” The event took place outside of the Olin Engineering Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m due to the threat of rain. Items for sale included fresh produce, baked goods and cider. Among the groups that sponsored the event were the Marquette Student Government, Sodexo, the Center for Health Education and Promotion, the Office of Sustainability, the Office of Residence Life and the Alumni Memorial Union, according to the event’s Facebook page. Two more Farmers Markets are planned on campus for Sept. 18 and Oct. 3.

Crucial changes to Dems take over Charlotte MUSG elections Removal of primaries, required online voting among revisions By Ben Greene benjamin.greene@marquette.edu

Marquette Student Government will conduct elections a little differently this year. During last Thursday’s legislative meeting, senators unanimously approved three distinct changes to their electoral process. Executive Vice President Bill Neidhardt, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, was one of the authors of the amendment. “The removal of primaries is probably the most controversial part,” Neidhardt said. “And then we’re moving (the elections) online, which is the most obvious part. And then the third part is fixing the way we define commuters.” Before the revisions to the election rules were ratified, commuter students were defined in the MUSG constitution as “students who reside outside of the 53233 zip code, or within the 53233 zip code with a parent or guardian.” The recent updates have slightly altered that definition, as it now reads: “Students who do not, or did not as freshmen or sophomores, live in university residence halls, but live(d) within 35 miles of campus with a parent or legal guardian.” Off-Campus Senator Joe Daufenbach, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said this adjustment was made to ensure that the definition of a commuter student was the same across all university platforms. Daufenbach said he expects this adaptation to make it easier for commuter students to know their classification.

MUSG’s decision to hold elections exclusively online was, as Neidhardt mentioned, an obvious move. Students have already been able to cast their votes online in the past, so this amendment will just incorporate online election procedures into MUSG’s constitution. Arts & Sciences Senator and Academics Committee Chair Sam Schultz, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the major change has to do with holding all elections on Involvement Link. “I think we did it to just make everything more central,” Schultz said. “I know the university and MUSG put up funding for it last year to move all student organizations to this Involvement Link site, so it’s kind of a central place. And so by moving the elections to this, hopefully it’s driving traffic to that site anyway.” Regarding senatorial primaries, Neidhardt said they have become virtually obsolete and therefore needed to be removed. Primaries were only held in races involving more than two candidates, and those cases have been few and far between in the last decade. “There were 108 residential races held in the last 10 years and only 18 times there was a primary,” Neidhardt said. He said that candidates should not need to cut an entire week from their allotted campaigning time to allow for primaries that rarely even take place. “(Time spent on campus talking to students) is what really helps develop MUSG senators and what really makes them a voice of the students, so robbing them of that time is really not healthy for the organization,” Neidhardt said. All three of these changes are slated to take effect immediately and will be observed in the Residence Hall Association and Senate elections Sept. 13.

First Lady Michelle Obama was one of several women who spoke at the Democratic convention Tuesday night.

LGBT, women’s rights prominent topics for first day of convention By Alexandra Whittaker alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

The first official day of the Democratic National Convention began Tuesday in Charlotte, with delegates, lawmakers and other party members making their case for President Barack Obama’s re-election. Among the proceedings for the convention’s first night was the call for a federal law recognizing same-sex marriages as part of the official party platform, making this the first time that a political party has included formal support for same-sex marriage in its platform. This addition to the party’s platform is significant, and according to College of Communication sophomore Rachel Berkowitz, historic. “Not only are the delegates planning to re-elect our nation’s first African-American president, but they are also endorsing the first LGBT equality plank. I think it’s amazing that we are actually, finally one step closer to equality for LGBT rights,” Berkowitz said. Though the LGBT news swept the convention, it was the ladies of the party who captured the audience with

their speeches Tuesday. U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore of Milwaukee joined two dozen other current and aspiring female members of the House of Representatives Tuesday night to discuss what they described as “women’s issues,” including abortion rights and domestic violence legislation. “No victim of domestic violence or bullying – man or woman – should feel unprotected in America ... The Democratic women of the House will fight violence against all Americans to move America forward,” Moore said. Women’s issues and questions over abortion rights raised at the DNC have been a key focus of this year’s election. The issues were further highlighted after Missouri GOP Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin made comments concerning what he defined as “legitimate rape,” which raised questions from both parties. Both parties have called for the resignation of Akin, including Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney, who has gone on the record both disagreeing with Akin’s remarks and saying he would support abortion in cases of rape and when the mother’s life is at risk. Michelle Obama’s speech concluded Tuesday night, and according to College of Arts & Sciences sophomore Kyle Whelton, stole the show. “Michelle Obama gave one of the greatest speeches in the

history of the DNC last night as she addressed the floor,” he said. “It’s no secret that the Obamas have a very high personal likability amongst voters; it seems that voters do not hold their policy disagreements against the President personally, which allows for a speech like we saw last night.” The first lady described Obama’s childhood in Hawaii and also shared her own background growing up in Chicago. Michelle Obama recalled her first dates with him, when “he was so poor that his only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.” Michelle Obama’s familycentric speech reflected the mood of the convention and set the tone for a slew of familyrelated speeches. The speeches at the convention often took personal turns, with many delegates connecting the issues with their own families. San Antonio mayor and keynote speaker Julian Castro discussed his grandmother’s immigration and family story and worked his way into discussing Romney, who was not mentioned in Michelle Obama’s speech. “We all understand that freedom isn’t free,” Castro said. “What Romney and Ryan don’t understand is that neither is opportunity. We have to invest in it.” The Democratic National Convention concludes tonight, and Barack Obama is slated to accept the Democratic presidential nomination at 6 p.m.

Campus ministry gets new director Mary Sue CallanFarley will look to foster inclusiveness By Jacob Born jacob.born@marquette.edu

Campus Ministry has a new director this year in Mary Sue Callan-Farley, previously the director of campus ministry at St. Peter’s College in Jersey City, N.J. With 20 years of expertise in ministry and campus ministry, including 11 years at St. Peter’s, Callan-Farley said she is excited to start her job here at Marquette. “My job for my first year is to listen,” she said. “Our programs, like the retreats and Ignatius projects, evolve on a year to year basis. I make sure they keep evolving.” Callan-Farley graduated from the University of Notre Dame and has her master’s degree in theological studies from the Maryknoll School of Theology. She decided she would like to come to Marquette when the position of director of campus ministry opened up. “I feel that sometimes it’s good to stretch yourself,” CallanFarley said. “I have many colleagues who said Marquette is great, and I’ve heard Milwaukee is a great city.” Stephanie Russell, vice president of mission and ministry, was part of the committee that selected Callan-Farley for the position. “Mary Sue Callan-Farley is a tremendously gifted woman,” Russell said. “Everyone (the committee) talked to mentioned her compassion, competence in campus ministry and

ability to work with diversity.” One of the ideas that CallanFarley stresses is that while Marquette is a Catholic, Jesuit school, there is room for all faiths and cultures. “All are welcome here at Campus Ministry,” CallanFarley said. “It doesn’t matter where they are from or what they believe in.” Callan-Farley said she wanted to stress that community is also a major part in what she wants to do at Marquette. Those plans started with an open house Tuesday morning where students could come into Campus Ministry and have light refreshments while getting to know the staff. “The open house was really for relationship building,” CallanFarley said. “I’m new here, and not everybody knows everyone on staff or even in Campus Ministry. I wanted to introduce myself to the community.” Lisa Cathelyn, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she’s excited to see what Callan-Farley can do in Campus Ministry. “I think it’s pretty crucial that those who work in Campus Ministry continue to be visible on campus at events both directly related to their office but also programs that are not necessarily affiliated with Campus Ministry,” Cathelyn said. “That way, they can continue their welcoming, open-minded presence on campus and live out the University’s Catholic, Jesuit mission.” Callen-Farley said she thinks the work of Campus Ministry can improve the university. “We feel that if people reflect and pray, then Marquette will be much better off,” Callan-Farley said.

Cheating policies vary at MU Discrepancies between colleges for reporting numbers By Melanie Lawder melanie.lawder@marquette.edu

Marquette students have never been implicated in a cheating scandal as large as the one that’s currently rocking Harvard University, where school officials are investigating suspicious similarities in more than one hundred takehome final exams from a Spring 2012 government class. While such a case has not arisen here, professors on campus maintain that preventing academic dishonesty is a problem that is not unique to Ivy League schools. “Faculty wish it were rare,” Pamela Nettleton, an assistant professor of journalism in the College of Communication, said. “But it seems it is not.” Nettleton has taught large 250-person lecture courses and smaller courses in more specialized topics. Like most professors, she puts a detailed account of the university’s policies pertaining to academic dishonesty in her syllabus. Despite this warning, Nettleton says she comes across academic dishonesty of some type every semester. Academic dishonesty is both a violation of the student code of conduct and the university’s policies and procedures on academic honesty, according to the text within Marquette’s 2012-13 student handbook. The student code of conduct says that participating in “any form of dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, fabrications or assisting others in doing so is an infraction subject to disclipinary action.” According to the Division of Student Affairs Annual Report 2009-10, the number of students charged with dishonesty in

conduct board hearings rose from nine incidents during the 2009 fall semester to 16 in the 2010 spring semester. Out of the 25 charges in the year, only 17 students, in total, were found responsible. Since each college manages its own incidents of academic dishonesty, these reports may not accurately reflect the pervasiveness of the cheating culture on campus. According to Gary Meyer, the vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching, the university does not have a compiled number of the reported cases that occur each year. Christopher Perez, assistant dean for academic affairs in the College of Engineering, said there have been 60 reported cases in his college since fall 2008. Perez said he normally receives five notices each semester but has accumulated up to 15. The College of Business Administration and the College of Nursing did not reveal their numbers of academic dishonesty incidents. “While we could go back and count up instances (of academic dishonesty),” Margaret Callahan, dean of the College of Nursing, said, “we find it more helpful to focus on the positive approaches that foster a culture of honesty and integrity.” The College of Communication, the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Health Sciences also declined to comment. Among Marquette’s most recent attempts to confront academic dishonesty was the creation of a subcommittee on academic integrity during the 2010-11 academic year by Provost John Pauly, Meyer said. The subcommittee submitted a final report in June 2011, according to Meyer, which was then reviewed in a University Academic Senate meeting February 20, 2012. In the report, the subcommittee made several recommendations to the provost – most of which revolve around integrating the notion of academic integrity into Marquette’s

Marquette to sponsor charter school Marquette becomes the first university to support Cristo Rey By Monique Collins monique.collins@marquette.edu

This year, Marquette will sponsor a new charter school coming to Milwaukee through the Jesuit Catholic Cristo Rey network. Students attending these schools go to class four days a week and work with participating businesses in the community on the fifth day in order to afford tuition and learn work-readiness skills. According to College of Education Dean William Henk, Cristo Rey will perform a year-long study to determine the network’s effectiveness in the community as well as its effect on other Catholic schools in Milwaukee like Messmer High School on the city’s north side and St. Anthony on the south side. Marquette will begin sponsoring the Cristo Rey network thanks to a gift from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation,

making it the first university to sponsor the network. “Cristo Rey schools aren’t just regular charter schools,” Henk said. “The Cristo Rey network teaches students the value of an education because they literally work to be able to attend its schools.” Henk said Marquette’s involvement with the Cristo Rey Network is not new. Each year, Marquette admits several graduates of the Cristo Rey program and was recently named a national university partner of the network, receiving an award for collaborative efforts at the Cristo Rey Network Summit this past July. The opening of these charter schools, as well as the Cristo Rey Network’s expansion to Milwaukee, could mean great things for the city, said Tony Tagliavia, media manager for Milwaukee Public Schools. “MPS looks to replicate schools that are working,” Tagliavia said. “We have a lot of charter schools that have shown success, so we give those schools authorization to open new campuses.” MPS is also allowing Universal Companies, a national

The Cristo Rey network teaches students the value of an education because they literally work to be able to attend.” William Henk, dean of the College of Education charter school operator from Philadelphia, and a local highperforming charter network to open five new charter schools for the 2013-14 school year. While the opening of these charter schools will mean great things for MPS and Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton said it does not mean charter schools work in all situations. “What we’ve seen with Universal Companies is that they go into schools, take over and try to engage the students, family and community,” Thornton said. “There’s nothing specifically great about charter schools or public schools– there are just great schools, and we try to replicate that.” If approved, the Universal Milwaukee Community Charter School would open with about 600 students, ranging from kindergarten to sixth

grade, adding a grade level each subsequent year and eventually becoming a K-12 program with about 1,200 students. Milwaukee College Preparatory School, which already runs three charter-school campuses, would also open another K-8 charter school in MPS. Milwaukee College Prep is looking to take over two district buildings for its 38th St. and Lloyd Street campuses, but negotiations are still in the works. The Universal Milwaukee Community Charter School is sponsored by Universal Companies, led by President and Chief Executive Officer Rahim Islam. According to the Universal Companies’ charter school application, the company plans to use Milwaukee’s former Webster Middle School building at 6850 N. 53rd St. as the potential site for its school.

community. Specifically, the subcommittee suggested making “integrity” more clear in the Marquette educational mission. This includes forming a comprehensive education program that encourages academic integrity, developing a centralized system for administering a comprehensive academic integrity policy and actually creating a code of academic integrity. Meyer said Pauly is currently deciding how to proceed with these recommendations. The university also retains a membership in the International Center of Academic Integrity. Last September, Marquette announced in a News Brief that it updated the software of its reporting hotline, EthicsPoint, to now allow students and faculty to anonymously report misconduct of any kind, including academic dishonesty and cheating. According to its website, the ICAI is an organization of academic institutions based at Clemson University that aims to “combat” academic dishonesty and preserve academic integrity in higher education through the facilitation of conversation and provision of relevant resources. “As a citizen, I am much more concerned with attitudes in broader society that condone the pervasive intellectual dishonesty that we confront every day and everywhere,” Dale Noel, a Marquette professor of biological sciences, said. “It infects us all.” When attempting to answer why students decide to engage in these dishonest tactics, the responses varied among professors. “I’ve seen a student approach assignments not as learning opportunities or ways to master material, but as if they were punishments,” Nettleton said. “Thinking like that, you might justify ways of working around doing your work. You might think of instructors as punishers, then think of yourself as a victim, and then tell yourself it’s morally acceptable to cheat.”

Expansion: New dental school ensures prominence in education School of Dentistry as a national leader in dental education. (It will also) help sustain our ability to provide patient care services throughout Wisconsin as well as (further cement our) reputation in producing contemporary, competent clinical dentists for the future.” The dental school is slated for a variety of improvements that will increase the school’s graduating class size from 80 to 100 students. Other additions will include a clinic that houses 24 operatories, a larger faculty practice clinic, additional classroom space and a research lab. The expansion will also renovate the existing simulation lab to accommodate 24 stations. “According to a January 2010 Wisconsin Dental Association work force study, while the state has enough dentists to meet the demand until 2020, this same study found that 52 percent of Wisconsin’s professionally active dentists are between the ages of 50 and 64,” Lobb said. “The proposed expansion is a measured approach and the most cost-effective way to address Wisconsin’s longterm dental workforce needs.” Lobb said the expansion project was a result of a joint effort that began under the university presidency of the Rev. Robert A. Wild and was continued by current University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz. Aside from the university

contribution, funding for the expansion has come from the Wisconsin Dental Association, the state itself and hundreds of individual donors. “We are grateful for our longstanding relationship with the state of Wisconsin and for the bi-partisan support we’ve received over the years,” Lobb said. “In addition to the hundreds of very generous dentists who have stepped forward to help with this campaign, Marquette is fortunate for the support of the Wisconsin Dental Association, (which) has also endorsed this project with (its) members.” Rick Kushner, the president and CEO of the national dental firm Comfort Dental, is an alumni of the school and remembers his Marquette education fondly. Comfort Dental is the largest franchised dental organization in the world, and Kushner has come to appreciate the time he spent at Marquette above all else. “We believed the dental curriculum at the time was difficult but very traditional and not lacking in any way,” Kushner said. “However, as a dental student, it was the only dental school any of us had ever attended so our frame of reference was quite non-existent. In recent years, I have come to appreciate Marquette’s dental school more than all the others because (it has) continued to reach out to me.”

The expansion will add a clinic that houses 24 operatories, a larger faculty practice clinic and a research lab.

Current faculty members are also excited for the expansion. Daniel Bures, an adjunct assistant clinical professor, said that because the needs of patients are at an all-time high, the dental school’s expansion will

allow more dentists to be trained. “The most important aspect of the expansion is that it keeps and ensures that the Marquette University School of Dentistry remains a prominent and

visible leader in the education and training of tomorrow’s dentists,” Bures said, adding that the expansion wouldn’t have been as successful if it wasn’t for the support of Lobb.

being behind the violence. “We as a community, as in humanity, need to come together and start working to fight this hate,” Kaleka said. “This ignorance of seeing people as different and creating a hatred of people who are different than you, it doesn’t make sense, because we all live our lives, we love each other.” The vigil was organized by the Indian Student Association, Campus Ministry and the offices of Student Development, Intercultural Engagement and International Education. Jasleen Bhasin, a junior in the College of Business Administration and the event’s chief organizer, said she hopes to start an organization for students interested in learning more about Sikhism. “I really hope anyone who wants to learn about the temple will join me in this club of Sikh faith,” Bhasin said. Chris Gooding, a graduate student in the College of Arts & Sciences who identifies as a Mennonite Christian, said he was able to find common ground between his own faith and Sikhism through a common emphasis on peace. “There is a big emphasis on peace in (my religious) tradition as well, and a very strong emphasis on non-violence, which we share with Sikhs,” Gooding said. “So while there may be conflicts with words in our communities, we always believe that violence is never a way to solve anything. So supporting other groups at times like these is really, really important.”

$16 trillion debt highest in our nation’s history Lawmakers will need to raise debt ceiling before next year By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the national debt has topped $16 trillion, the result of chronic government deficits that have poured more than $50,000 worth of red ink onto federal ledgers for every man, woman and child in the United States. The news was greeted with a round of press releases from President Barack Obama’s GOP rivals, who used the grim-butexpected news to criticize the president for the government’s fiscal performance over his 3 1/2 years in office. Obama has presided over four straight years of trillion dollar-plus deficits after inheriting a weak economy from his predecessor, George W. Bush. “We can no longer push off the tough decisions until tomorrow,” said No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor, R-Va. “It’s time to address the serious fiscal challenges we face and stop spending money we don’t have.” Last summer, Cantor dropped out of a set of budget talks hosted by Vice President Joe Biden, citing the insistence of the White House on tax increases to help close deficits that require the government to borrow 33 cents of every dollar it spends. The spiraling debt means that lawmakers and the eventual winner of the White House in November will have to pass a law early next year to raise the gov-

ernment’s borrowing cap from the current ceiling of $16.39 trillion. Passing such legislation last year proved enormously difficult and the nation’s credit rating suffered. First, however, lawmakers will try during a post-election lame duck session to renew Bush-era tax cuts and head off a round of forced budget austerity as automatic budget cuts are scheduled in January to slam both the Pentagon and domestic programs. Those cuts were required by another failed set of budget talks last fall by a bipartisan “supercommittee.” GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin piled on as well. “Of all the broken promises from President Obama, this is probably the worst one, because this debt is threatening jobs today, it’s threatening prosperity today and it is guaranteeing that our children and grandchildren get a diminished future,” Ryan told supporters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Ryan was named to Obama’s debt commission but voted against a proposal by its co-chairs. He declined an invitation by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to try again on the supercommittee. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said: “This debt will not only be a liability for our kids and grandkids, but economists also tell us that it will limit economic growth and kill millions of jobs now and in the future.” Portman was a member of last year’s failed supercommittee, which deadlocked over taxes and cuts to popular benefit programs. The debt topped the $16 trillion mark on Friday.

The $16 trillion means there is more than $50,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in the United States.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the government will likely reach its debt limit at the end of the year. However, Geithner has said he will be able to employ various “extraordinary measures” to keep the government operating until sometime early next year. Geithner would need to use these measures if Congress, as expected, fails to tackle the debt limit by year’s end. Last year’s prolonged impasse

between the GOP-dominated House and Democrats controlling the Senate and the White House contributed to a move by the ratings agency Standard & Poor’s to lower America’s AAA bond rating for the first time in the country’s history, nudging it down a notch to AA+ for longterm securities. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney promises sharp spending cuts and a balanced budget by 2020 if he wins the

White House, but has provided little detail about how that might be accomplished. For his part, Obama has declined to tackle the spiraling growth of benefit programs like Medicare and the Medicaid health program for the poor and disabled. His proposals to hike taxes on upper income earners have been repeatedly rejected by Republicans, but he promises to insist on them if he wins re-election.

Sikh tragedy inspires the generosity of community More than $500,000 in donations are expected for victims By Dinesh Ramde Associated Press

OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) — Officials at the Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee are treading carefully as they figure out how to distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations that have poured in from around the world after a deadly shooting rampage last month. The Sikh community in suburban

Milwaukee has always been closeknit, and the members drew even closer after the shooting. But temple leaders know even the closest of bonds can unravel when money gets involved. Aware of arguments that flared among victims’ families after shootings in Colorado and at Virginia Tech, Sikh leaders are relying on an outside expert to figure out the fairest way to share the funds. “You never really know what will happen when there’s money involved, but we’re doing our best to safeguard against any problems,” said Amardeep Kaleka, whose father was among the Sikhs killed. “The community has already

A gunman killed six worshippers and wounded two others in last month’s shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek.

suffered. If there’s any in-fighting there will only be more suffering.” The collections are expected to total between $500,000 and $600,000. The outpouring followed a rampage in which a man with ties to white supremacy groups killed six worshippers and wounded two others before killing himself. His motive may never be known. While the Sikh community appreciates the donations, figuring out how to distribute them could be difficult. Those killed ranged in age from a 41-year-old mother of two who was her family’s primary breadwinner to an 84-year-old man who retired long ago. One of the people who was wounded didn’t have health insurance and was hospitalized in critical condition for a month. He was upgraded to serious condition Wednesday. Do all families get equal amounts? Or does an arbitrator impose value judgments, deciding whose life or earning potential was worth more than another’s? Does the money go just to the families of those injured or killed? Or does it also go to those who were in the temple at the time of the shooting and were emotionally traumatized? “No one wants to be callous, but there are finite resources,” said Kaleka. “Some hard decisions will have to be made.” In other shooting rampages, victims’ family members haven’t always been happy with those decisions. Last week, relatives of some of the Aurora, Colo., theater

shooting victims lashed out because fundraisers who collected more than $5 million had so far given no more than $5,000 to each family. After the Virginia Tech shooting, two family members who lost loved ones sued over how the money was distributed. One big difference between those shootings and the one in Wisconsin: In Colorado and Virginia, the victims were strangers who happened to be in the same area together; at the Oak Creek temple, the worshippers know each other. It’s not yet clear whether that will avert disagreements over the funds. To help them navigate any thorny issues, temple officials turned to lawyer Ken Feinberg, a victims’ attorneys and claims expert who directed victims’ payments after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the Gulf Coast oil spill in 2010 and the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. Feinberg told The Associated Press he recommends the temple act swiftly, saying the families need money now and won’t benefit from a long delay. He also recommended giving the families of the dead equal amounts, even if one victim was 84 and another was 41. “You would treat everyone exactly the same. All lives would be equal,” Feinberg said. “That’s the only way to avoid the fairness argument. If anyone’s unhappy there’s an outlet for anyone who wants to litigate.” Jasjit Singh, executive director of the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, acknowledged

Feinberg’s advice might not sit well with some people, but said the alternative — trying to determine how much more one life is worth than another — is also difficult. “You’re in a tough spot either which way. It’s very murky territory,” he said. Despite Feinberg’s suggestion that the donations be distributed quickly, temple leader Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal said the board of trustees plans to proceed deliberately. He said he expects the process to take weeks if not months. Some victims’ expenses could also be covered by federal funds, administered through the state Crime Victim Compensation Program. Those who are wounded or suffer emotional harm in a crime can receive up to $40,000. That could include the 16 people who hid in a pantry for two hours when the gunfire began. At least one of those victims plans not to seek any compensation, either from the state or from the donations. Belhair Dulai said his wife was injured when a bullet caused a piece of granite countertop to ricochet and lodge in her foot. Despite her pain, he said, she felt the same as other community members felt: The money should be reserved for those families who suffered real loss. “She doesn’t care about the money. There are a lot more important things than that,” he said. “What they decide, it doesn’t matter. There are other people in the community that need more attention.”

Kitchen: Organization focuses on food recovery and redistribution Casa Maria Hospitality House and the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Parrell said Marquette students are the reason CKMU continuously succeeds. “This generation has the potential and the power to do so much; it is awesome to see them harness their boundless energy and take action,” Parrell said. She said urban areas like Milwaukee are often plagued with food scarcity stemming from poverty. According to 2010 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Milwaukee was named the fourth poorest city in the U.S., with thousands collecting food stamps. Parrell said CKMU volunteers are “truly called to service” and dedicated to serving the hungry in Milwaukee. “Even students who are performing required service have joined us after their hours are complete,” Parrell said. “I think it’s the Jesuit spirit of service that is prevalent throughout the university.” Emily Paulson, the national program manager for Marquette

and the coordinator for Campus Kitchen at Gonzaga University, said the organization takes a serious look into the needs of a community before starting a new branch. Paulson said Campus Kitchen surveys student interest and what on-campus support is available. She said CKMU maintains a pool of regular volunteers. “Marquette has always had a very strong and active leadership team,” Paulson said. Laura Mark, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she continues to volunteer at CKMU because of the value the organization brings to Milwaukee. “As I volunteered throughout my freshman year, I grew to understand how smart the Campus Kitchen mission is,” Mark said. “The more I learned, the more I realized that it’s an incredibly simple, sustainable organization.” Mark said one of CKMU’s main missions is eliminating food waste. “Marquette’s branch of Campus Kitchens is particularly

focused on food recovery and redistribution,” Mark said. “We try to find creative ways to use as much of that food as possible in creating meals for our partner organizations.” CKMU volunteers may work

anywhere from one shift per semester to every evening, as flexibility is a valued part of the organization. While many college students may loathe preparing their own meals, Mark said she en-

joys her time in the kitchen and looks forward to her shifts each week. She said she will lead one cooking shift and one delivery shift in both preparing and sending food to the hungry each week this semester.

Music conference brings indie bands and fans together By Claire Nowak claire.nowak@marquette.edu

In a time of instability within the music industry, aspiring musicians have a right to question their career choices. Every day, more song covers and band profiles appear across the Internet, their creators desperate for just a taste of the attention all too familiar to performers like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. So how can new artists get an edge on their competition? The answer may be surprisingly far from the bright lights of Hollywood. Milwaukee’s Yellow Phone Music Conference is a four-day conference from September 6-9 that gives musicians the opportunity to connect with leaders in the music industry and showcase their talents in front of large audiences. Doug Johnson, David Silbaugh and Scott Ziel, all partners in the Midwest booking agency Pursuit Live, started Yellow Phone last year. While there are numerous music conferences around the country, Johnson, Silbaugh and Ziel wanted this conference to be more accessible to new and unsigned artists. They felt Milwaukee was the best place for it. “We love (Milwaukee) and love sharing it with other people when they come to visit,” Ziel said in an email. “It’s big enough to be

interesting but small enough to get around.” The conference starts with a kick-off party on Sept. 6 in the Polaris Room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. This event is free to the public and lasts from 7 to 11 p.m. The next two days include numerous opportunities for musicians to meet and mingle with important figures in the music industry. There are eleven panels a day on both Sept. 7 and 8, held in various ballrooms of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, from which artists can pick and choose which to attend. These panels feature professional musicians, producers, managers, agents and music executives, all of whom are willing to share their insight and advice on succeeding in the music industry. Kevin Lyman, producer and creator of the wildly successful Vans Warped Tour, will give the keynote address, sharing his experiences with touring festivals, record labels and corporate projects. Other panelists include Patrick Stump, lead singer/guitarist/composer of Fall Out Boy; Peter Cohen, talent producer for the hit reality show “The Voice,” as well as talent buyers, entertainment lawyers and management executives from around the country. After the panels comes a networking reception, where conference attendees can meet the panelists and discuss the topics covered earlier in the day over free refreshments. This kind of opportunity is invaluable to upand-coming musicians. They can get questions answered by professionals that have experience in the field, getting a leg

up on competition who may not have attended the conference. The panelists may be more willing to give advice to attendees as opposed to musicians they meet outside of the conference. If artists are willing to take the time and pay the costs to go to the conference, they are showing commitment to their career choice and a readiness to learn how to succeed in the business. To conclude each night, the conference hosts an artist showcase in the Third Ward, featuring more than thirty bands from around the country. Conference managers search for talent all year long to fill these spots. They take recommendations from agents and managers and send twenty representatives to various cities throughout the Midwest to find the best unsigned acts. Most of this year’s musical talent comes from the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. Just a few of these are the folk duo Blessed Feathers from West Bend, Wis.; alternative rock band Ikarus Down from Milwaukee and soulful singer Jamie Lono from Chicago. Some musicians, however, are traveling much greater distances to perform. The Boston folk/pop group The Ballroom Thieves will also be performing, after being invited to the conference by David Silbaugh. They met at the Launch Music Conference & Festival in Lancaster, Pa., this past April, where Silbaugh heard the band play at a small showcase. After listening to the performance and meeting up with the group for drinks after the show, he decided to invite the three musicians to perform in Milwaukee. Livingston Jones, the band’s manager,

We love (Milwaukee) and love sharing it with other people when they come to visit. Scott Ziel, Pursuit Live

said in an email that conferences like Yellow Phone are terrific networking opportunities. “The panels are a great way (to hear) advice from folks who have invaluable experience,” he said. “And the showcases give the band an opportunity to be heard by those same people later in the evening.” Jones added that attending music conferences is also a great way to gain the publicity needed to book shows. A representative from Steamtown Music Showcase also heard the band at Launch, and like Silbaugh, invited the group to perform at his own showcase. The Ballroom Thieves will play at that festival in Scranton, Pa., before coming to Milwaukee for their performance on Sept. 7. Musicians can get access to panel discussions, networking receptions and artists’ showcases by purchasing a conference badge for $149, available online or at the Hyatt Regency Hotel starting Sept. 6. For $20, members of the general public can purchase a wristband to gain access to all of the performances in the artist showcase event, held on various stages throughout the Third Ward. However, guests must be 21 or older to attend the showcase. Even though it is only in its second year, the Yellow Phone Music Conference has a lineup of successful panelists and

The hidden treasures of last week’s O-Fest Tea, board games and medieval battles all at MU By Erin Heffernan erin.heffernan@marquette.edu

At any given moment on Marquette’s campus, you may catch Club Quidditch passing the Quaffle, Ducks Unlimited discussing how to best protect our nation’s waterfowl or the philosophy club pondering life’s big questions. Though these subcultures within the Marquette community may not always be visible, they are vibrant. It is one of the things that makes Marquette great. No matter how obscure your interests or esoteric your knowledge, there are likely to be people here who share your tastes, and there is probably already a club dedicated to your biggest pursuits. And if not, all students have the power to create new clubs of their own if they are so inclined. Sean Comiskey, a senior in the College of Communication, did just that last year. As the first president of Marquette’s Tea Club, Comiskey has created one of the most novel new student organizations on campus. The Tea Club is exactly what its name denotes: a group of students dedicated to drinking and discussing tea. The club made its debut at this year’s O-Fest with a colorful table and a generous supply of cool, refreshing iced tea. “I drink a lot of tea, and basically

all my friends are really into it,” Comiskey said, standing behind his organization’s table. “So we kind of went for it.” The club plans to focus on a different tea at each monthly meeting. It will explore the culture, history and origins of the tea before letting members test the drink. Its focus is to bring a love and knowledge of tea culture to Marquette, all the while living by the classic tea motto “It’s all in the steeping.” Two tables away from the Tea Club at O-Fest sat a table displaying a very different world. The Gamer’s Association’s members manned their station by calling out to passersby, “Do you like games?” The club plays Dungeons and Dragons as well as other role-playing games in genres like “cyber punk fantasy,” “political dystopia” and “Old West cowboy adventure.” However, it is just as open to childhood classics like Apples to Apples or Candyland. “We would play Shoots & Ladders if someone brought it,” club scribe Nick Conrardy said. But for Conrardy, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, it’s the role-playing games that truly provide “the ultimate social experience.” The Gamer’s Association is composed of a close-knit group of members who regularly meet outside of meetings for long role-playing sessions, where they transform from Marquette undergrads into cowboys, mythical creatures or warriors. The association’s vice president, Peter Gentile, a senior in the College of Communication, summed up his connection to the Gamer’s Association this

way: “Some people act. Some people paint. I play games.” Next to the gamers at O-Fest was Marquette’s Medieval Society, behind a table festooned with a poster marked “Chivalry isn’t dead yet!” in large calligraphy. Adding to the display were a battle-worn helmet, a tunic replete with chainmail and members playing the Medieval game 9 Man’s Morris. This year, the club plans to make origami catapults, study calligraphy, eat original medieval recipes and attend an annual event called “The Feast of Boar’s Head.” “Everyone who goes (to Boar’s Head) will dress up in garb like they’re from the Middle Ages,” said club president Alyson Smith, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences. “We eat medieval food, (and) there are shops and you can watch people fight.” Fighting practices are another central part of Medieval Society. Members dress up in metal armor and battle with wooden swords. They reenact duels of the past, all the while tucked away in the practice room next to BookMarq. Smith admitted that fighting practice involves “mostly men because I think they like hitting each other more than we do. But I don’t know.” These lesser-known clubs are marked by a love for their purposes. Though some spend their time sipping green tea and others thrive on battles and history, the members of these unique groups share an attitude of appreciation, lingering on how lucky they are to have found people who share their passions.

Why won’t that catchy song get out of your head? Science attempts to explain why ‘Call Me Maybe’ is so addicting By Erin Heffernan erin.heffernan@marquette.edu

The culprit was the cheeseball ‘80s band The Human League. The weapon was their synthsoaked hit “Don’t You Want Me.” For the past week, this diabolically catchy tune has been stuck in my head. When I’m in class trying to learn economics, as I cook dinner or even now as I type this, I am accompanied by the constant presence of the lyrics “Don’t./ Don’t you want me?/You know I can’t believe it, when I hear that you won’t see me.” Even worse, I am plagued by the song’s chorus, screaming “DON’T YOU WANT ME, BABY? DON’T YOU WANT ME? OHHH!” I feel like an addict. I have this need to sing the song out loud. I crave the fix of hearing the lyrics again and again. But after I shamefully indulge myself, I am confronted by judging stares implying that people decidedly don’t “want me,” and they

also kind of want to punch me in the face. We’ve all been here. We’ve been infected by songs like the Kit Kat jingle, “My Sharona” or (God forbid) “Fergalicious.” These fiendish little tunes known as “earworms” can drive us all to the point of insanity. This phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by the scientific community. Vicky Williamson, a professor of psychology at the University of London, studies earworms and why it is that some songs inevitably get lodged in our brains. Williamson’s research found that 90 percent of people get a song stuck in their head at least once a week. The research has found music to have a very powerful connection to memory. In an interview with NPR’s “Talk of the Nation,” Williamson described earworms as “a very effortless form of memory” and a “good representation of the original tune that we’re remembering.” This can be helpful for things like teaching children, but it is also the root of songs unwarrantedly repeating in our heads. Williamson and her fellow researchers have also developed a formula to predict a song’s “stickiness,” which increases with simplicity as well as certain

pitches and rhythms. Though the formula is accurate 75 percent of the time, Williamson admits that earworms still remain largely a mystery. Unfortunately, there is also no proven cure for earworms, like the absurdly addicting “Call Me Maybe,” leaving us all to struggle under the influence of asinine pop songs and cheap jingles. As for me, I’m putting my faith in the old adage: Spread the song to someone else and it will leave you alone. On a totally unrelated note, feel free to give “Don’t You Want Me” a listen.

Animal Collective’s latest album a bad psychedelic trip Hectic ‘Centipede Hz’ a bit too much for most listeners’ ears By Peter Setter peter.setter@marquette.edu

It has been three years - a relatively normal time span for the music industry - since the indie experimental/psychedelic rock band Animal Collective released its last full-length album, “Merriweather Post Pavilion.” But for Animal Collective fans, that may seem like ages. For a band that has released an album almost every year between 2000 and 2009, an unusual amount of time separated “Merriweather Post Pavilion” and “Centipede Hz.” Unfortunately, it seems as though Animal Collective used this time to develop an album that is unusual and confusing. “Centipede Hz,” Animal Collective’s ninth studio album, is a far cry from the group’s previous record. While “Merriweather Post Pavilion” is a mellow record (as mellow as Animal Collective can get), “Centipede Hz” is a venture into a land of organized chaos, where loud crashes and an infusion of white noise and radio interference is considered “experimental” music. And at fiftythree minutes, this music journey is strenuous and tiring. This dive into organized chaos is a place Animal Collective has been before. “Centipede Hz” is a

return to the band’s louder, more frantic past. The record is filled with nonsensical wailing, out of sync instrumentals and busy theatrics. The psychedelic pop record has the power to paralyze and confuse the listener in the unhealthiest way. In the album, Animal Collective left no stone unturned, no crevice unfilled. Each second is layered with shrieks and buzzes to annoyingly accompany the band’s lyrics and instrumentals. Every song is plush with noise, an effect that leaves a phony sensation after each listen. Although a vast portion of the album is dedicated solely to busy and synthetic instrumentals, the music is also lyrical. Of Animal Collective’s two vocalists, Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) and Avey Tare (David Portner), the former is far easier to listen to. Unfortunately for the band and its fans, Portner occupies a majority of the songs, leaving Lennox and returning band member Deakin (Josh Dibb) to handle the rest. This heavy appearance of Portner is perhaps the most significant downfall of the album, as his ceaseless screaming is helping no one achieve a satisfying musical experience. The lead single of the album, “Today’s Supernatural,” is one of the few correct choices the band made. After listening to this song, it is clear why the group chose it to precede the others. The combination of lyrics and noises, including a tolerable amount of wailing, embodies the band’s nature perfectly. It is a

smart, accessible choice for the first single, one that loyal Animal Collective fans and relative newcomers will appreciate. The rest of the album will unfortunately leave non-loyalists with a confused, nauseated feeling. The incessant clanging of drums, the high-pitched frequency of the radio interference and the jumbled lyrics are all a recipe for disaster for new listeners. Newcomers will be running for

the hills, and most likely their iPods, for salvation from the racket the album produces. “Centipede Hz” is indeed an album for only the most devoted Animal Collective enthusiasts. “Centipede Hz” is a peculiar listening experience. The neverending bellowing is tough to hear past, and the radio interference is difficult to tune out. There is an endless number of other, more rewarding records,

including earlier Animal Collective work. In “Monkey Riches,” the eighth track on the album, Portner sings “(looking at the sun) makes me wanna wonder how I even wrote this song … doesn’t almost everyone!” Indeed, everyone will want to know how this misguided album ever came to fruition.

Bruce Cole rocks in The (summer movie) season and out of class of my discontent

Matt Mueller No matter how many times I sleep through my morning classes (and maybe some of the afternoon ones, too), there’s no ignoring the fact that we’re officially a week into the new school year. Labor Day has passed, football season is about to kick off, life has become more hectic and the weather has … well, we’re still waiting on the weather to cool off a bit. Yep, summer has ended. And I couldn’t be happier. I’m like Leonardo DiCaprio in the beginning of “Titanic,” ecstatically waving and yelling goodbye as I set sail for fall (hopefully without the tragic irony). Confused analogies aside, the summer of 2012 was almost a complete sham, mainly because it might be one of the weaker movie seasons we’ve had. While the oppressive heat in Milwaukee was a large contributor to my anger, the films were where my disappointment really lay. True, we started off with a bang in “The Avengers,” one of the better action movies to come out in a while. It was light and not without its imperfections, but it was also wildly entertaining, cleverly written and improbably came through on the years of hype leading up to it. “The Avengers” should have been the first grand, colorful explosion at the start of an exciting firework show. Instead, it was a big bang followed

by a few dim sparklers. One could easily blame the vampire craze, which led to not one but two bloodless features – “Dark Shadows” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” Neither film could figure out whether they wanted to be ridiculous campy fun or serious entertainment, and as a result failed at both. This was especially the case with “Lincoln,” which seemed to miss the punch line of its own joke. High expectations might also be the culprit for my disappointment. “Prometheus,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and even “The Expendables 2” came into the summer riding lots of buzz and excitement. Unfortunately, they were all met with mild enthusiasm at best. “Prometheus” was entertaining and interesting but startlingly sloppy with some storytelling basics (I’m being generous as well; I know several people who think Ridley Scott’s film is the cause of Nazism and most cancers). “Expendables 2” was fun, but still not as wildly entertaining as it should have been considering its cast (Schwarzengger, Willis, Statham, Van Damme – pretty much anyone who ever punched something on screen). The less I say about “The Dark Knight Rises,” the better. Let’s just say that I wish Batman had some anti-plot hole spray on his tool belt. When it comes down to it, though, the problem with this summer is the problem with Hollywood as a whole: Where’s the imagination? Bad or disappointing movies are nothing new for the film industry, but this summer, there seemed to be an increase in movies that were just, well, useless. Movies that existed only to exist and to make money. “The Bourne Legacy” played

like deleted scenes from the previous films, albeit directed by someone in a coma. The “Total Recall” remake didn’t feature a single element that wasn’t derivative of another movie, eliciting words like “soul-sucking” and “an insidious kind of horrible” from critics. For me, the most shamefully useless movie of the summer was “The Amazing Spider-Man.” It was already dubious to reboot the franchise barely ten years after the first film, and the movie didn’t convince me otherwise. A decade after “Spider-Man,” Sony offered up audiences a nearly identical movie. The lone unique idea – Peter Parker’s true origins – was seemingly removed from the film, under the promise of (get this) using it in the sequels. It’s almost as though the studio is actively avoiding progress and innovation. I know summer is usually the time for brainless action movies and light fare, but there’s no reason for Hollywood to continually play down to exceedingly diminished expectations, especially as ticket prices continue to rise. There were a few gems mixed in with the trash – “Moonrise Kingdom,” for instance – but the stench of withering Hollywood imaginations overwhelms my memory of the past four months. I’m not saying everything the mainstream film industry makes has to be great or revolutionary. It’d just be nice to know that they’re at least trying. So I say let’s wipe the slate clean and bring on the fall. It’s got a lot of making up to do. Matt’s movie reviews can be found at onmilwaukee.com. Contact him at matthew.mueller@ marquette.edu.

Marquette teacher brings ‘Abbey Road’ to Wisconsin Avenue By Eva Sotomayor eva.sotomayor@marquette.edu

Bruce Cole is a legend in the Milwaukee music scene. As a drummer for more than 45 years, he has played with many bands throughout his career. Currently, Cole is a drummer for three bands that perform regularly in Milwaukee. In addition to being a musician, he teaches a Marquette class called “The Beatles and the British Invasion” and is in charge of curating the Jean Cujé Music Collection, a music archive housed in Marquette’s Raynor Library. The collection is named after Jean Cujé, a symphonic bassoon player who later became a Marquette librarian in 1979. A big music fan herself, Cujé dreamed of having such an archive and was honored with the collection after her death in November 1992. “Instead of putting a plaque in her memory, we decided to start an archive,” Cole said. “It fell to me because I’ve been a musician in town since the 60s. I love local music and always have, so I’m in charge and I get to devote some of my time to this collection.” The collection contains CDs, newspapers and other memorabilia from Milwaukee’s music history. It is mostly donationdriven, although Cole has added some things from his personal collection and has bought a few things over the years. “This collection reflects the cultural, musical heritage of Milwaukee,” Cole said. “It’s always been a hard-working, blue-collar world.” Playing and living in Milwaukee for more than forty years, Cole and his numerous bands have opened for famous groups such as The Dave Clark Five, The Hollies, The Animals and many others. Cole’s personal history with the Milwaukee music scene helps

him teach his course “The Beatles and British Invasion,” a seminar available to freshmen in the honors program. The idea for the class came after Cole guest lectured in Phillip Naylor’s popular “History of Rock and Roll” class. Naylor is the assistant professor of history. “I put together this proposal and submitted it, and (the honors program) just thought it was great. I know a lot about the Beatles and that era and British Invasion and garage rock,” Cole said. “The impact of the Beatles is just such a never-ending phenomenon. They’re probably the only band in the history of popular music where most people on this planet can name at least one of them.” As for Cole’s favorite Beatles song, it’s “Happiness is a Warm Gun.” “I’m a tune person,” he said. Having played and lived in the Milwaukee music scene, he’s seen the city’s different eras and has felt it transform through the years. Cole tells how the Milwaukee music scene used to be bigger and more visible than it is now. Milwaukee’s downtown area was known for its music venues, and bars were a popular hub for bands to display their talents. “The amount of music that comes out on a local level is just amazing. There are lots of bands, but their visibility is not the same as in the 60s or 70s,” Cole said. “It was a more naive time. When I started, I had long hair, and people used to stop me and say, ‘You’re in a band.’ Who stops anybody for anything anymore?” Over the years Cole has given lectures on music simply because he loves it. It’s one of his “top five most important things in life for human beings.” As for future classes, Cole would love to see Marquette have a complete music department, in addition to the music minor it has only recently started offering students. He’d love to see “classes on the history of pop music in general ... music classes where people would take primer classes to see where rock and roll came from.”

How hard is it to truly unplug? No, not literally — spiritually. At Marquette we hear the university throw around terms like reflection, examen, prayer and meditation, but how many students actually take time for themselves? Last week a Marquette political science professor told her lecture class of 119 students that she would drop their lowest test score at the end of the semester – but only if she could go the entire semester without catching a single student on her or his cell phone. This offer reflects not just how valuable this professor finds unplugging and paying attention in class, but how often she has been frustrated by seeing students just not care about their classes or about showing respect for their professors and peers. And as generous as that offer is, we imagine that someone will inevitably ruin it for everybody. But why? Why do we feel the need to text, Facebook and Tweet constantly? Why do our hands seem to crave our phones every few minutes? Our guess is that it’s because we are afraid of being alone with our thoughts. We constantly use technology to hide. Who hasn’t pretended to text in order to avoid eye contact or awkward encounters? It’s easy to feign disinterest with so many tools at our disposal. What did our parents do when they felt awkward? They couldn’t hide behind a phone screen. They had to endure the discomfort, and they probably felt awkward less often anyway, because they experienced real social interaction on a more regular basis. Sometimes we are so absorbed with our profiles, friend lists, followers and text messages that we can miss what is right before our eyes. When was the last time you actually turned your phone off? Off for a day? For a week? How often do you log into Facebook or Twitter? We don’t mean to suggest that social media is inherently bad, but we advocate for balance. Everyone needs some time for inward reflection, to collect thoughts and evaluate emotions and actions. This sacred time does not necessarily have to be

religious, but it is often spiritual. We know that not everyone at Marquette subscribes to Catholicism, Christianity or even a belief in God, but the ideals of a Jesuit education can apply to everyone. They should still affect our lives as students and allow us to develop a deeper knowledge of ourselves and of others. The Jesuits teach the importance of discernment, or incorporating insight and understanding of oneself into decision making. They ask us to question not just what we are doing, but why we are doing it. When was the last time you really applied this type of discernment to your life? It’s time to unplug and tune in. Listen to yourself and think about what you really want. Are you happy, truly happy? What would you change about your life if you could? How about the way you relate to your family, peers and professors? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves. Mary Oliver said it best in her poem, “The Summer Day”: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Do you plan on spending your life on Facebook? At the end of your life, will it really matter how many texts you sent or friends you had? Be in the moment. When you’re in class, be in class. You’re sacrificing a lot to be a student, so you owe it to yourself to focus on that role while you’re here. Your online social life can wait until class is over. We get so caught up in trivial matters and distract ourselves with technology so we don’t have to face these quiet moments. We as people are inquisitive and curious about life but often find it difficult to actually take the time to reflect on these questions that may not be able to be answered. We try to act as if we are too busy to contemplate life, but what is life without meaning? It may be a cliché, but there is value in taking the time to stop and smell the roses. Don’t be afraid of observation and of silence. Make time for yourself. It’s healthy and it’s necessary.

Tony Manno On one of his birthdays, my brother Mark scored himself an inflatable punching bag and a pair of boxing gloves. He entered the garage from time to time to beat the pulp out of the thing, ducking under right hooks and breaking to patch up a swelling black eye. None of this retaliation was real, of course. Still, he was a speech impediment and a glass of raw eggs away from becoming Rocky Balboa. And as it turns out, that’s just what he was aiming for. Mark took on the boxing persona after pounding through the complete “Rocky” series dozens of times, learning more and more about what drives Rocky with each movie. I guess he really had been fighting Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago in the garage. Needless to say, I now take the term “little brother” lightly. What makes us take on the traits of our favorite characters? Researchers at the Ohio State University published a study earlier this year that examined the way we become lost in our favorite heroes of literature, noting we take on their personas even after a story is complete. The researchers didn’t give it a name. So for the sake of brevity, I’ll refer to this marvel simply as “characterosis.” I caught my own case of characterosis when I was younger. About seven thousand “Back to the Future” viewings in, I became Marty McFly. I had no problem wearing my puffy, orange Old Navy vest in the summer

(“What’s with the life preserver?”) and running around town with a confident hop in my step. If only I’d figured out how to fit a flux capacitor on my bike. That was fun for a kid. But as much as I’d like to end that story here and to write it off as a child’s imagination, I still experience characterosis far too often. It’s not going away, and I’ve started to realize how closely we tie ourselves to screen personas. It’s not just me, of course. I recently picked up on the characterosis epidemic after my roommate popped in one night. He leaned against the doorway, cigarette and glass of something-or-other in his hand, and rattled off some clever slick talk during the conversation. That “Mad Men” marathon I’d been hearing on the other side of the wall started to make some sense. And after some thinking, I’ve found the phenomenon incredibly common when you look out for it – all the nuances of our favorites on screen can be found in someone, it seems. Don Draper is my roommate, Yoda sits next to me in English class and it’s Walter White’s turn to do the dishes. If my housemates and I were like this all the time, it would make for an interesting living dynamic – I’m imagining George Costanza and Michael Corleone sharing a bathroom. So why not relate to our favorite characters? It’s one part empathy and one part unknowing emulation and it’s all in good fun. Maybe we even learn a bit about ourselves when we relate to someone on screen. After all, writers spend endless time and effort crafting their characters to be relatable, complex and ‘human.’ Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Is this some sort of postmodern complex or a desperate escape from reality? It’s a scary proposition. But as much as common sense tells us that characters are based on real people, maybe just the opposite is true. In the meantime, remember I’ve been on a “Breaking Bad” binge, so if you see me anywhere near Wehr Chem with a boiling flask, you might want to alert the authorities. anthony.manno@marquette.edu

The football may be fantasy, but the glory’s real

Brooke Goodman Over the course of my life, my dad has taught me many valuable lessons. For instance, if there are only a few scoops of your favorite ice cream left in the freezer, you need to hide it. The only time it is acceptable to fake sick in order to skip school is during the early rounds of March Madness. And a healthy mix of hard work, dedication and passion really does pay off. My dad taught me something even more vital, though. Something that can only be grasped through experience, blood and tears. Something that I can’t even fathom because much to my dismay, I still have yet to accomplish it. There are few things in life greater than winning a fantasy football championship. That’s right. I bet you weren’t expecting that one. This weekend serves as much more than the first full weekend of Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks and the leaves beginning to change color. It’s even bigger than NFL season openers and the pure bliss

of finally being able to watch football on both Saturdays and Sundays again. It’s a pivotal part of the year ... it’s the kickoff of fantasy football. Here, I could analyze the effects of how the mindsets of many males (and quite a few females) on this campus are about to start revolving around trades, injuries, who to play and who not to play each week; but I won’t do that. I also won’t attempt to offer advice. Instead, I’ll team up with the fantasy football gods and send some positive energy and wishes to you, your teams and your sanity over the course of these next 17 weeks. First, may your favorite team’s victory not contribute to your fantasy team’s loss ... and vice versa. Let’s have a scenario. It’s Sunday, the Packers are playing the 49ers and Frank Gore is your starting running back. You’re a Wisconsinite through and though, and therefore bleed that Cheesehead spirit. Gore runs all over the Packers’ defense and they lose. Uh oh ... conundrum. Should you be happy that your fantasy running back scored major points for your team in Week 1? Or should you be bummed that the team you’ve followed your entire life just got whooped at the hands — or rather, feet — of your player? Either way, it’s impossible to win them all. Cheer for your teams, deal with the losses and move on. This dilemma is always a tough call, but let’s be real. The last thing you want to do is start wishing that players on your favorite team get injured

Tribune 15

so your fantasy team has an easier time. Next, may you stay far, far away from your lineup on weekend nights. There’s nothing worse than waking up on Sunday morning and noticing that you’ve slotted someone to play who has been injured for the past five weeks. We all know how weekends go. Things ... happen. Put a barricade around your computer, change your password and take an oath. Whatever you do, don’t let those “things” happen to your lineup. And last, when the newcomer who knows nothing about football wins the league, may you recognize that it’s inevitable, brush off the frustration and simply laugh. It doesn’t matter how much research you did over the summer in preparation for the draft. It also doesn’t matter how many spreadsheets you made, how much money you spent on fantasy football magazines or how much time it took you to come up with a slightly corny but perfect team name. In the end, the kid who put no effort in will beat you ... and will probably win the league. Don’t get mad. Just smile and embrace that good old loser’s trophy. And in 17 weeks, if you happen to pull off the win (or actually are that kid who knows nothing and walks all over everyone else), claim those bragging rights. After all, there are few things greater than being the champion. brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

Girls aren’t the only ones who cry By Caroline Campbell caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

I wrote a column last week giving advice to freshmen, and one of the first things I told them was that it’s okay to be homesick. I tried to be a little funny and serious at the same time by adding that it’s normal to call your mom crying at some point during your first semester. Maybe this only happened to me. Maybe it was a slight exaggeration and me trying to be funnier than I really am. Or maybe everyone gets homesick. I was more than a little offended when someone who read my column told me it was really good, but the part about crying home to mom sounded “like a girl thing.” For one, I am a female, so ... I don’t know, “girly” statements find their way into my writing? Whatever. Let’s talk about stereotypes.

Duke, North Carolina await Golden Eagles Pair of consensus top 15 teams present biggest challenge yet By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

The challenges of taking on two national giants in one weekend would probably scare a lot of teams off. However, this Marquette team is not like most. The Golden Eagles (3-0-1) travel to Durham, N.C., this weekend to take on North Carolina (2-1-1) and Duke (4-1-0) in the Duke/Nike Invitational. “We’re going down there to win two games, no question,” coach Markus Roeders said. “This will no doubt be our toughest challenge yet.” Both opponents have won multiple ACC Championships and the Tar Heels are the most storied program in women’s college soccer history. North Carolina head coach Anson Dorrance is now in his 34th season as the Tar Heels’ head coach and has an all-time record of 73045-27. Under Dorrance, Carolina has won 21 national championships, including 20 NCAA Tournament crows and one AIAW title. The Heels have won 20 regularseason ACC titles and ACC Tournament crowns. During his tenure, Dorrance’s teams have lost only one ACC Tournament match. “He’s certainly one of the premiere names in our sport,”

Roeders said of Dorrance. The Golden Eagles will catch a bit of a break because of Duke and North Carolina’s player participation in the Under-20 World Cup in Tokyo. Following a 2-0 win over Nigeria on Tuesday, the U-20 team will take on Germany on Saturday in the championship. For the Tar Heels, that means the trio of Bryane Heaberlin, Kealia Ohai and Crystal Dunn won’t play against Marquette on Friday. Heaberlin, a freshman goalkeeper, was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2012 by Top Drawer Soccer and was expected to compete for playing time in net with Adelaide Gay and Anna Sieloff, who have each appeared in at least three matches. Ohai, a junior forward, is a two-year starter who led the Tar Heels in goals, points and gamewinning goals as a freshman, earning First Team All-ACC honors along the way. Dunn, also a junior forward, is probably North Carolina’s biggest loss. Dunn won national Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman in 2010 and was chosen as the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, despite now having moved to forward. Dunn was a 2010 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Award semifinalist and has scored 12 goals and tallied 14 assists in two seasons. North Carolina is coming off a pair of wins at the Notre Dame Adidas Invitational against Connecticut and the Fighting Irish.

Senior defender Ally Miller knows the team will have its hands full on the backline against two perennial powerhouses.

Those wins followed a disappointing start to the season, with the Heels losing an exhibition match to North Carolina-Wilmington and its regular season opener at Portland. Junior defender Ally Miller is confident in Marquette’s ability to come into enemy territory and score goals while trying to keep its shutout streak alive, despite playing two potent offenses. “It’s disappointing not to score, so we’ll have to learn from that and get a few this weekend,” Miller said. The Blue Devils will be without

junior forward Mollie Pathman and sophomore forward Kelly Cobb for their Sunday afternoon meeting with the Golden Eagles. Pathman has been picked as a Second Team All-ACC selection each of her two years at Duke and is tied for fifth on the Blue Devils’ all-time charts with five multi-goal games. Pathman has been with the U.S. national team since the U-14 level. Cobb made 22 starts as a freshman and was also named to the Second Team All-ACC and scored two goals and four assists in the

Duke/Nike Invitational last season. Cobb was limited by injury last season and had to miss the Blue Devils’ clash with the Tar Heels because of injury. The Blue Devils rebounded from a 3-2 overtime loss to Florida on Aug. 26 with a pair of wins at the USC Futbol Classic in Los Angeles last weekend. Duke knocked off host USC and Washington State by a combined score of 6-1. “We know we’re going to have to be on top of our game in order to get two wins,” sophomore goalkeeper Sofie Schunk said.

Lyon takes new role in stride Good times, good Sophomore vaulted people in Iowa to starter after two very quiet seasons By Matt Trebby matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Before he came to Marquette, Charlie Lyon was always the man in goal. He had never been second fiddle. As an all-state player in Illinois at St. Charles East High School and also a member of the Chicago Fire Academy team, Lyon is one of the most touted players to come to Marquette. During his freshman year at Marquette, Lyon tore his PCL and had reconstructive surgery and redshirted. David Check was the starter then and Keenan Flynn was the backup. That was the first time Lyon had ever not started every game for his team , so he had to adjust to his situation by learning from both Check and Flynn. “All I could really do was observe,” Lyon said. “One of the things I really watched from them was the level of professionalism they had and the level of consistency th ey tried to play with every single day.” In his second season, Lyon was Check’s backup and watched the team have its most successful season under head

coach Louis Bennett. As frustrating as it was to not play, he couldn’t help but be happy for the rest of the team. “It was a big time of personal growth, but it was hard,” Lyon said. “The best part of it was seeing my teammates and my competition, Check, succeed and play well and then lead the team onto the best season it’s ever had.” The one game Lyon started last season came against Wright State in September. In the first half, Lyon came out to clear a ball from just outside his 18-yard box, and miscommunication with a defender led to a mistake and an easy goal for the visitors. Marquette lost

2-1. It wasn’t the ideal return to game action for Lyon. As shocked as he was in the middle of the game, he knew he had to continue on and finish the 90 minutes. Lyon finished the game but said that moment hit him hard. “In that moment, it was kind of like, ‘I can’t believe that just happened. What did I do?’” Lyon said. “That was really tough. I waited for over a year to get the opportunity to play, and here’s my opportunity and I make such a terrible mistake.” Now, Lyon is the Golden See Lyon, page 17

Matt Trebby Through working with Marquette Radio, I’ve been lucky to be able to travel with the men’s soccer team to broadcast its games. Everyone is more than happy for me to come along, something they don’t have to allow by any means, and I am made to feel like part of the team. This past weekend, I traveled with the squad to Des Moines, Iowa as they took on the Drake Bulldogs. It all started on Friday, when we left campus at 4 p.m. for General Mitchell International Airport. At the airport, there’s a lot of time to kill before the flight, which the soccer players do with ease. Some of the topics discussed included senior Anthony Selvaggi’s unfortunate chase for the program record of yellow cards. He has 15 and the record is 18. The weekend’s slate of English Premier League games were also discussed. On the flight itself, the main source of entertainment tends

to be the latest edition of “Sky Mall.” I’ve been told head coach Louis Bennett collects one per trip, and I see why. Next time you’re on a flight, just look through it and ask yourself why you’d ever buy most of that stuff. When we arrive, it was straight to the bus and then the hotel. After everyone checked in, we headed off to dinner. To make some of us feel more at home, we ate at Rock Bottom, which I thought was exclusive to Milwaukee. Nothing like their Mac’n’Chicken to ease the fatigue from flying. Before bed, there was a quick film session on Drake, where the team watched its opponent for the first time. This helps my broadcast as well, as I can fill everyone listening in on what to expect. The Bulldogs are very direct and have very high work rates. The team got a good idea of the team to sleep on before tactics were discussed in the morning. After falling asleep, I woke up to watch Arsenal and Liverpool, while everyone else slept. That was delightful for me, and a great intro to breakfast. I played in high school against redshirt sophomore John Mau, who went to Kettle Moraine High School.

big east outlook

Soccer, basketball teams will add depth Newcomers won’t play in Big East until 2013-14 campaign By Kyle Doubrava kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on the teams joining the Big East for the 201314 season. TEMPLE OWLS (Atlantic 10) Expert plenty of noise from women’s basketball at Temple. The Owls have made mincemeat of their foes lately and should carry that same momentum to the Big East. Over the last five seasons, Temple has compiled a 140-60 record, but it strangely never won a conference tournament during that stretch. Other teams at the Philadelphia school may be welcoming a change of scenery to the Big East; women’s soccer hasn’t finished a season above .500 since 2000 and has not qualified for the Atlantic 10 Tournament since 1995. CENTRAL FLORIDA KNIGHTS (Conference USA) Track and field is the go-to women’s sport at Central Florida. The Knights won the 2010 Conference USA outdoor title and the 2011

Conference USA indoor title. Last year the team was ranked for the first time in the program’s history, reaching as high as No. 8 in the national polls. Women’s basketball has been shaky recently, however, as the Knights have posted records of 1116, 22-11 and 12-17 in each of the last three seasons. The Knights will be wanting some stability as they inch closer to playing more challenging competition, but do not count them out as basement dwellers in their Big East infancy. SOUTHERN METHODIST MUSTANGS (Conference USA) Keep an eye on the SMU women’s volleyball. Although the Mustangs had an off year last season (15-17) after finishing 25-6 in 2010, the team has four freshmen and four sophomores on the roster this year. This will be a learning year for these players, and once they get enough experience they just might be giant killers in Big East play. The basketball team, however, has been less impressive. SMU has only made the NCAA tournament twice since 2000 despite putting up seven 17-plus win seasons in that span. MEMPHIS TIGERS (Conference USA) Footballers beware: the Memphis women’s soccer team doesn’t mess

around. The Tigers finished 22-1-1 last season en route to a Conference USA championship and an NCAA tournament appearance. The Tigers are currently ranked No. 24 in the national polls, although they have dropped two of their first three matches so far this year. Nonetheless, it will be intriguing to see how well the Tigers match up with Big East nemeses. Women’s basketball at Memphis hasn’t been nearly as successful as the men’s squad - the Tigers have not made an NCAA tournament appearance since 1998. HOUSTON COUGARS (Conference USA) Cougars women’s basketball had a complete fallout last season, finishing 3-26 after going 26-6 the year before and making the tournament. Although the team will struggle again this year because of its youth (six freshmen on the roster), it will also help Houston pose a challenge to stiffer competition in 2013. Tennis will be also be a hot topic in Houston; the Cougars have put together 10 straight winning seasons, and the team will have matches against teams from the Big East, Big 12 and the SEC, solid preparation for what is to come in the near future.

Continued from page 16:

Eagles’ starter and has the faith of his coaches and teammates. Lyon was named Big East Goalkeeper of the Week last week after keeping two shutouts in a week and his third consecutive shutout. H e was named the Marquette Student-Athlete of the Week as well. Bennett noted how Lyon used his time off the field very well and said the unique situation Lyon fac ed prepared him to be the starter this year. “He’s turned that time off into positive time,” Bennett said. “There’s not a doubt in his mind that what he’s done and the experiences that he’s had ha ve helped him, which is exactly what we wanted him to do.” Nick Vorberg is in his first year as the goalkeeping

we had a few clashes in the Classic 8 conference. At breakfast, I had to explain the type of player I was in my heyday, and explain why we were robbed when Kettle Moraine beat us my senior year. I’m still bitter. After breakfast, the team discussed tactics and assigned roles for the game. The coaching staff and team manager Eric Wilde – my roommate for the trip and a Manchester United fan – do a great job of preparing the team and letting them know what to expect. After the win, Bennett led the cheers on the bus, which were full of spirit, even after 90 minutes in sweltering heat. Back at the hotel, after bothering Bennett and goalkeeper Charlie Lyon for postgame interviews, we’re off to Chili’s for dinner. After that, everyone was in bed by 11:00 p.m., because of our

Lyon: Undefeated start best Trebby: Des Moines a great team bonding experience since turn of the century coach at Marquette and has been thoroughly impressed by Lyon’s performance. He has played for the Milwaukee Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League since 2003 and knows good goalkeeping when he sees it. From day one, Vorberg was very impressed with Lyon’s distribution and attitude. If he didn’t know any better, Vorberg said he would have thought this was Lyon’s second or third year as the team’s starting goalkeeper. “I felt like he was playing in the position for two or three years,” he said. “He plays that way. He has a junior or senior mentality about him.” As a redshirt sophomore, that means there is much more to come from Charlie Lyon.

6:10 a.m. flight the next morning. We woke up at 3:45 a.m., and were gone at 4:10 a.m. I’m a morning person, so I was plenty awake. Getting everyone else up was the issue. I did my best, and eventually got Robb and whoever else possible going, making for a fun trip home. Upon our arrival in Milwaukee, I went back to my apartment to sleep, while the rest of the team had to finish up their work at Marquette Gym, then nap before a long day. I wish I had 1,000 words, because I couldn’t properly describe the fun I had on the trip in the words I have. The team does an amazing job of making me feel welcome and like one of the guys. I know I’m not and know my role, but every trip is still a joy. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

cross country

Trio opens up about team By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

If you are an avid runner or a fan of popular sports literature, you may have come across the book “Running with the Buffaloes.” The author, Chris Lear, spent a season with the 1998 Colorado Buffaloes on their road to the NCAA Cross-Country Championship. With 48 hours to go until their first meet of the season, I was fortunate to join three of Marquette’s cross country runners during their workout Wednesday afternoon as they head into a season with their own NCAA Championship dreams of competing on the big stage. The team is split into three workout groups depending on each athlete’s respective class schedule. In Wednesday’s noon group, I joined senior Connor Callahan and juniors Spencer Agnew and Mitch Lacy for their run down to the lakefront. Wednesdays are typically reserved for tempo runs or similar workouts. As the team starts to compete every other week in the latter portion of the season, things may change. Some of the more experienced runners will tend to do their workouts and find another opportunity to run during the day. Coach Mike Nelson outlined

Wednesday’s workout as the following: a two-mile warmup run to the lakefront from Marquette Gym, followed by leg swings, drills and strides. The workout is six to seven miles with the first mile coming across at six minutes. Each mile that follows will be about five seconds faster. “This is not a killer workout, but it is something good to keep the legs moving,” Nelson said. “Usually, they are able to recover from this workout after 24 hours, so they should be fine come race day.” After meeting the runners at the lakefront, they did their drills and were ready to take off. The first half-mile came across at 2:55, which was just a little faster than expected. Agnew was hanging in there with his teammates the entire way. He broke his foot during the outdoor season and had to take ten weeks off before rehabbing and then working out. He expects to race the entire course and compete at the NIU Huskie Invitational on Friday. Lacy could contend for one of the team’s top spots, and heading into Friday, he feels his confidence is high due to his training in the summer. “Being in Milwaukee over the summer prepared me pretty well to race at a high level,” Lacy said. “We’ve got a good group of guys planning on going out together and doing some work.” After Agnew drew back from the workout around the third mile and Nelson wrapped up his singing of George Strait, Callahan and Lacy

freed their minds of any talk about the upcoming meet and opened up about the characters on the team. Drawing on some comparisons to Texas-native Kyle Merber from the film “The Real Maine,” the senior and junior went on to give themselves the title of “most yoked” or well-built on the squad. The upperclassmen do their best to make an easy transition for the freshmen from high school to college. The team’s chemistry between the age groups appears to be at a high level as Callahan and Lacy voiced their love of freshman Andres Tineo-Paz’s Venezuelan accent. Although freshman Cody Haberkorn is quiet now, the juniors and seniors enjoy his company and believe they will have him talking in no time. Whether it is seeing people in costumes running along the lakefront or listening to Jack Senefeld’s yelling on a run, the team knows how to make running fun. But come race day, it is all business. Callahan could be Marquette’s top runner on Friday with Senefeld and fellow senior Patrick Maag injured, but that does not add too much pressure as he looks to capture an individual victory for the team. “Luckily, I’ve been in high pressure situations before,” Callahan said. “I’ll just do whatever I can to lead the team without them so that they won’t be missed too much. Hopefully, when they’re back, we’ll be even better.”

The Texas State Bobcats accomplished quite a feat on Saturday in their first game as a full-fledged Football Bowl Subdivision member. The ‘Cats knocked off Houston 30-13 in the first game of the post-Case Keenum era for the Cougars. Texas State’s win was no doubt impressive. The Bobcats were a 34-point underdog, and the win forced the resignation of the Cougars’ offensive coordinator following the performance. And apparently it was good enough for one AP voter to put the Bobcats 16th in the nation. That’s right, folks. CSN Bay Area writer Ray Ratto thinks Texas State’s win was enough to rank the Bobcats ahead of teams like Arkansas, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

Tell Your

His rationale was actually pretty good: “Is 16 too generous? Probably. Could they disappear next week against Texas Tech? Hell yes they could. It’s Week 2. But for one night, with so little data in what is always the worst week of the year for drawing conclusions, I’m fine with them where they are.” The AP poll actually counts for nothing. The BCS doesn’t use it for its rankings even though its pollsters likely watch more games on a given Saturday than the coaches who vote in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. I’ll give Ratto the benefit of the doubt on this one. But when the Bobcats lose to Texas Tech on Saturday, they better be gone for good. michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Four games in three days will test endurance

Coach Bond Shymansky says sophomore outside hitter Lindsey Gosh (right) is ready to move up her role in the offense while junior libero Julie Jeziorowski’s (left) improved passing will help the offense.

Shymansky asks squad not to look past Wake, EIU By Patrick Leary patrick.leary@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s volleyball team swept away the competition at the Xavier Invitational last weekend but face a much greater challenge at the Ambassador Hotel Golden Eagle Classic this weekend at the Al McGuire Center. The team will host two ranked teams, No. 23 Michigan on Friday and No. 25 Northern Iowa on Sunday, as well as Wake Forest and Eastern Illinois in a massive, nine-game round

robin tournament. Coach Bond Shymansky said that his team is prepared to play a season-high four matches in three days. “We’re physically ready because that’s what we train all preseason to do,” Shymansky said. “The real challenge is how do you turn the mental page from match to match and from opponent to opponent.” Two of those opponents, Michigan and Northern Iowa, will likely test the Golden Eagles more than any other team this season. Although the team lost to Northwestern two weeks ago, UM and UNI will be the first ranked opponents it will play in 2012. “There are teams that you want to beat, that you can beat and that you should beat,” Shy-

mansky said. “When you’re playing against programs that are perennial powerhouses and have a long-standing history of success, it takes a lot of team trust and team stability to be able to fight through matches like that.” However, Shymansky stressed the importance of not glossing over the perceived lesser teams on the weekend’s schedule. “The first key is not overlooking teams like Wake Forest and Eastern Illinois,” Shymansky said. “Watching them play on video, they’re both capable of beating us if we’re not sharp.” Junior libero Julie Jeziorowski also feels that film will help the Golden Eagles this weekend. “We’ve watched a lot of film,” Jeziorowski said. “I think it’s

important to know what the other teams are doing. We’ve also been doing some sprints so we can keep up with the game and not get tired. We’d like to win in three, but you never know.” The sharpness of the offense and passing game is sure to play a huge role in the Golden Eagles’ success this weekend. “We need to pass and serve better,” Shymansky said. “When we do that really well, we can be super dynamic. When we don’t do that really well, it’s a lot of pressure on our younger players to perform.” “Our offense is the key to our success,” Jeziorowski said. “It has been for a while. It’s quick and hard to block, and that’s going to be important for this weekend.” Marquette’s opponents have

to keep an eye on versatile sophomore outside hitter Lindsey Gosh, whose powerful serves and attacks have taken her team to another level so far in 2012. “Lindsey Gosh is ready to move up in her role on our team,” Shymansky said. “When she plays well, we’re going to play well. She can have a really big impact that she hasn’t realized or fulfilled yet, but she’s on her way to doing that.” Gosh seems to understand her potential for great success on the court. “Knowing that my serve is aggressive,” Gosh said, “I’m easily able to pull teams out of system and ace them. For hitting, my power is really important because my intent is to kill the ball.”

club sports

Women’s club sports hope to maintain success Basketball, volleyball teams aim to reach nationals once again By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s club sports season might feature just as much success as it did last year after several teams played at the highest level possible. If it hadn’t already, Marquette established itself as a club sports powerhouse last year with women’s basketball and volleyball finishing their seasons on the national stage. Club basketball pulled off a thrilling, come-from-behind victory to win the ACIS National Championship game 35-33 against Delaware after advancing

to the NCCS Michigan Regionals one year earlier. That team was led by MVP and All-American Chantal Newman, who returns for her senior year. She hit plenty of key shots, including a pair of game-winning free throws in the championship game and showed a knack for the clutch that will carry over into this season. Newman’s return will help the team continue to compete at the national level and seek back-to-back titles. Coach Matt D’Amato said he’s looking for new faces to complement the veterans, however, and feels that his team is in line for a big year of growth as a club thanks to its championship pedigree. “We’re always looking for new players to come. It’s a great experience outside of being suc-

cessful and winning games,” D’Amato said. “We’ll hopefully get more invites. We realize that by winning the national championship that other teams will be looking to beat us.” On the volleyball court, Marquette continued a four-year trend of outstanding play at the national level that started in 2008 with a national title. The Golden Eagles have finished in the top-10 each of the past three years including a runner-up spot in 2011. Last spring, the team won its NCVF Ranking Tournament beating the likes of Dayton, DePaul and Loyola-Chicago and battled to a third-place finish in the NCVF Championships. With the return of two AllAmericans in Jennifer Ciriacks and Molly Aikins, the Golden Eagles will again look to reach Nationals, and both team presidents

Nicole Luke and Hannah Guth believe that a lower finish would be a disappointment. “I have confidence that we can make it to Nationals again this year,” Luke said. “We’ve qualified and competed the past four years at that level, and our team holds high expectations for each other, which will hopefully be shown through our effort this year.” “Our strength really comes in the way that we have bonded on and off the court,” Guth said. “We really are a close-knit squad, and we all bond really well together.” The women’s club lacrosse team hasn’t quite had the success its hoped for, but has still grown tremendously in skill and talent since joining the club program in 2007. The team boasts players from a variety of different states including Oregon,

California and New York. The team doesn’t shy away from tough competition as it participates in the Women’s Collegiate Lacrosse League. The league consists of more than 50 different schools from Wisconsin to New York, making it the largest club lacrosse league in the nation. Last season the team finished last in the Division I West Region with a record of 3-13 behind larger schools Northwestern, Wisconsin-Madison and Illinois. Despite the disappointing finish, Marquette played more games than its regional opponents, offering its players more action. With two squads positioned for national title runs and the rest poised for major growth in 201213, this season has the potential to be just as exciting as last year in women’s club sports.
