Double OT Thriller

MUSG aims to revamp campus wellness Club sport captians express need for more practice space

By Maredithe Meyer

maredithe.meyer@marquette.edu

Marquette was the first Jesuit university to have a student recreation center on campus. Now, 41 years after Helfaer Recreation Center was built in 1975, Marquette Student Government is pushing an initiative that would revamp all aspects of campus wellness.

MUSG spent $50,000 in 2010 for Moody Nolan, an architectural consulting firm, to conduct a feasibility study on campus recreational facilities. The study found that Marquette’s average amount of recreational space per student is 6.92 square feet.

The national average is 10-12 square feet per student.

Marquette’s recreational space has not changed since the study was conducted.

“We’ve had a need here at the campus recreational facilities for years, really,” said John Sweeney, director of the Department of Recreational Sports.

A 19-year university employee, Sweeney said he watched the recreational program of 40 club sport teams and over 5,000 intramural sport participants dramatically outgrow their facilities.

“There is not sufficient space in the Rec Plex for a team of 25 people to practice game-like situations,” said Holly Stumpf, a junior in the College of Health Sciences and the women’s club lacrosse captain.

Stumpf’s team practices three times a week and the lack of available practice space never allows a practice to end earlier than 10 p.m. On Mondays, the team practices from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Stumpf said the late-night practices pose problems for the athletes, especially during exam See REC CENTER, page 5

Marquette secured a much-needed double-overtime victory over No. 20 Providence, 96-91, Wednesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Despite a combined 59 points from stars Kris Dunn and Ben Bentil, Marquette’s Henry Ellenson had 26 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Golden Eagles to a season sweep of the Friars, who are now 0-10 all-time in Milwaukee. Read the full game story at marquettewire.org.

Police laying taser-use groundwork

The Marquette Police Department is in the midst of a taser pilot program.

The MUPD Advisory Board unanimously v​oted Feb. 9 to endorse Marquette’s decision to equip MUPD with tasers in the future. Additionally, the board recommended

that MUPD adhere to the taser policies and procedure manual discussed during the meeting.

MUPD Captain Jeff Kranz will lead classroom-based taser user certification sessions for all 40 MUPD officers. The sessions will be Feb. 11 and Feb. 13 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m in the MUPD offices. Each officer will attend one session.

“We’re still in the process of evaluating the tasers, and part of that is exposing the officers to it so they see how it operates, get their feedback on it, see if they feel that it’s going to be functional out on

the street and enhance their knowledge of how the tool works,” Kranz said.​ A two-year taser pilot program will be implemented within the next few months. At the start, MUPD will have four tasers at its offices. The tasers will be distributed, as MUPD sees fit, to officers when they start a patrol shift.

Tasers were an attractive option for MUPD because they provide another non-lethal option for officers. Along with learning the functionality of tasers, the officers will receive de-escalation and

officer-created jeopardy training.

The de-escalation training will put “officers in a position to not use force and resolve (conflict) through other means by creating distance and time,” Kranz said. “The more distance, the more time you have to de-escalate.”

The officer-created jeopardy training will focus on how officers can avoid putting themselves in danger by maintaining a safe distance from a potential suspect.

Law students reflect on Cuba trip People-to-People encourages overseas educational exchange

By Jennifer Walter

jennifer.walter@marquette.edu

Over winter break, the Marquette Law School allowed 25 students and six faculty members to embark on a sixday journey to Havana, Cuba, during winter break.

The trip was organized through the law school in partnership with Cuba Educational Travel, a People-to-People travel organization that works to organize educational exchange programs for students from the U.S. and Cuban residents.

The International Conflict Resolution trip takes law students to high-profile areas around the world. Students went to Israel in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

The law school group was one of the first educational groups to go on the trip since the embargo was lifted. Andrea Schneider, a professor of law, initiated the travel plans.

“One day (Professor Schneider) came into dispute-resolution class and said, ‘Oh, we got approved to go to Cuba,’ and then she went on to teach a two-hour class,”

said Molly Madonia, a third-year law student. “It was a spur-ofthe-moment thing, and we’re happy it was made possible by that lift in the embargo.”

Madonia said the trip was not backed by any kind of school grants or funding. The students paid outof-pocket for the trip, motivated by interest as opposed to credit hours that would be applicable in other study abroad programs.

“The reason why I think this trip was so special was because we are taking the first steps in finding out what is going on with the country, how they feel about it and what the Cuban people actually want,” Madonia said.

The group visited a variety of places, from the Archdiocese of Havana, to touristy spots in the city and Regala, a local community located across Havana Bay. “Cuba was like a time machine,” McNally said. “The cars are old, you can do things there that you haven’t been able to do (in the U.S.) in a very long time.

You can walk into the lobby of a school smoking a cigarette, and no one will say anything.”

The students agreed that a major benefit from the trip was learning how to empathize with people from different cultures. Sheldon

Oppermann, a third-year law student, said dispute resolution is something that requires empathy in order to reach a proper resolution.

Oppermann discussed how American media doesn’t capture the full picture of Cuban culture and society.

“In our minds, we’re refreshing stuff constantly,” Oppermann said. “We buy and throw things away constantly. There, it’s hard to find a pencil. I lose more pencils in a day than they’ve seen all year.

You can’t buy a pencil in Cuba.

The government’s going to have to get you a pencil.”

Madonia said the Cubans seem open to an increase in American tourism, as well as building a positive relationship with the U.S. in the coming years.

Oppermann told a story about a Cuban man working in a pizza shop with whom he casually conversed. “(He asked), ‘Are all of you going to be so nice and interested in our culture?’” Oppermann said.

“The Cuban people are as interested in American people as we are in them,” Madonia said. “Everyone that I know, or at least that I talked to, was very friendly, very nice and very welcoming.”

O’Donnell residents react to hall’s closing Residence will be closed in 2016-‘17 year for evaluations

By Patrick Thomas

patrick.thomas@marquette.edu

Residents of the all-male O’Donnell Hall have mixed reactions to Marquette’s decision to close their home for the 2016-’17 academic year.

The closing, announced Feb. 5, is happening so the university can evaluate the building’s place future at Marquette. Mary Janz, director of Housing and Residence Life, said there is enough space in other residence halls across campus to house next year’s students.

The 232 current O’Donnell residents won’t be impacted this semester. It is unknown if the hall will eventually be torn down, renovated or left as is.

The announcement came a few weeks after University President Michael Lovell talked about the university master plan, which will plan future campus construction.

The plan is slated to be finished by fall 2016, Lovell said during his Presidential Address. He said that, at master plan input forums, a prominent suggestion was to close or renovate O’Donnell.

Steven Snider, a resident assistant in O’Donnell and sophomore in the College of Engineering, said all of the hall’s resident assistants were called to a private meeting

Friday to hear the news.

“They told us they have enough vacancies in other buildings to where they can efficiently transfer the crop of these students,” Snider said.

Snider plans on returning as a resident assistant next year, but he is disappointed that he won’t be able to return to O’Donnell.

“If I had the choice between O’Donnell and somewhere else, I know what I’m getting with O’Donnell and would have been pretty comfortable coming back,” Snider said.

Members of O’Donnell’s maintenance team will still remain on staff during the next academic year.

“The main gist is that the people who work here are safe,” said

Randy Caston, an O’Donnell custodian. “They are going to evaluate (O’Donnell) and see what the building needs. I’m looking at it as if it’s not closing.”

Kevin Wells, a freshman in the College of Communication, said the news didn’t really surprise him because of the building’s age. O’Donnell first opened its doors in 1950.

“It came as kind of a shock to me because it’s a great place to meet new friends,” Wells said. “Things need to change, but it’s kind of a bittersweet feeling.”

Ben Wiberg, a freshman in the the College of Arts & Sciences, described O’Donnell as a strong brotherhood and called its closing the end of an era.

Wolf Krekel, a senior in the College of Business Administration, and Erich Eichwald, a senior in the College of Health Sciences, are former O’Donnell residents.

They said they were saddened upon hearing the news.

“It’s where I met all my friends,” Krekel said. “I know some of the AC and heater units didn’t work. It wasn’t such a structurally sound building.”

Eichwald said living in O’Donnell was an experience unlike any other at Marquette.

“While you are in O’Donnell you complain a lot, but it brings you and everyone else there closer,” Eichwald said. “It will be hard to replicate in the future, giving guys that classic O’Donnell experience.”

Wrong Sodexo nutrition fact label corrected “Simply-to-Go” items found to have misleading labeling

By Rebecca Carballo

rebecca.carballo@marquette.edu

College students across America know the infamous Freshman 15 —a moniker for the 15 pounds they could gain while adjusting to a college lifestyle. Nutrition fact labels can help them avoid the extra weight, however, some campus food has been found to have incorrect labeling.

The Alumni Memorial Union and Brew coffee shops across campus

sell “Simply-to-Go” items, premade and packaged meals and snacks for students who are too busy to sit down and eat a meal.

The line is part of Sodexo, Marquette’s campus food provider.

One of the line’s items is a three berry yogurt parfait. Its nutrition facts say one serving is 3.9 ounces but doesn’t say how many servings are in the container. However, according to the labeling etched into the plastic of each container, each parfait is either six or nine ounces.

The “Simply-to-Go” nutrition fact labels are printed with information from Sodexo’s companywide database, but the items themselves are prepared on campus by following a recipe.

Sodexo has a disclaimer on its website to explain why the numbers don’t match up.

According to the disclaimer, “The nutrient information displayed for each item is the result of its exact preparation as stated in the recipe. Any deviation from the recipe such as product substitutions or changes to portion yield will render the information, inaccurate.”

Kevin Gilligan, general manager of Sodexo Campus Services, said he asked Gina Villani, the campus clinical dietitian, to review the labels.

“If there is a mistake in the labeling, we will correct them per our company and Food and Drug

Administration guidelines,” Gilligan said in an email.

After Villani reviewed the nutrition facts and found they were incorrect, Sodexo promptly fixed the error.

“I feel that for all our products on campus and in all locations, we make every possible attempt to share nutritional data so that the customer can make an informed decision,” Gilligan said.

Although the parfait information was corrected, some of the line’s other items, like the granola and pudding cups, also have nutrition facts that don’t specify the number of servings in each package. This is leaving some students frustrated.

Megan Sitzberger, a sophomore in the College of Nursing, said she stopped eating the granola because she found the nutrition facts to be misleading.

“It’s difficult to know how many calories you’re eating because the number of servings are not clear,” she said.

Katie Orfei, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, said students deserve to know the nutritional content of what they are eating.

Athletics tackle Mount Everest Challenge

Lovell hopes to reach 100,000 feet by end of this month

By Julie Grace

Special to the Tribune

Members of the athletic department staff, alumni, student athletes and University President Michael Lovell are participating in the Mount Everest Challenge.

The challenge is a workout competition where participants climb 29,029 feet, the height of Mount Everest, in 29 days.

Todd Smith, director of sports performance, said he created the challenge and chose Mount Everest because it is the highest peak in the world.

About 20 participants used equipment called a VersaClimber, located in the Al McGuire Center weight room, to achieve the goal. Each person climbs on his or her own schedule, but groups will compete against each other to get the most steps.

Following a workout, individuals write their number of steps

on a board to keep track of where they stand in the competition.

Lovell said although he actually dislikes the VersaClimber machine itself, the competition builds a sense of community, noting that there is always a new name and number of steps on the board.

“Todd (Smith) is always trying to get people engaged in friendly competition,” Lovell said. “This one has been a lot of fun.”

Previous challenges posed by Smith and the athletic department have included the “Monkey Hang,” where participants try to hang onto a metal bar as long as possible and the 20-mile bike challenge, when challengers race 20 miles on a stationary bike in the same gear.

Sofie Schunk, former member of the Marquette women’s soccer team, returned to the weight room to partake in the Everest challenge.

“I chose to participate in the challenge, as I have always had a fond bond with the people of the weight room and what their philosophy is – fun in fitness,”

News in Brief Plan for Democratic Debate protest

More than 1,000 fast-food workers across Wisconsin plan to strike Thursday before the Democratic presidential candidates take the stage for a debate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The workers will demand a $15 per hour minimum wage, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.

The group will also include non-fast-food workers who are paid less than $15 per hour.

The demonstrators will assemble at 5 p.m. at Lake Park and march to the debate from there. The Democratic debate will be held in the Helen Bader Concert Hall at 2419 E. Kenwood Blvd.

REC CENTER, from page 1

Consulting firm suggests creation of $60 million project

time. In the past, some players quit the team because they couldn’t balance the late practices and schoolwork.

MUSG President Zack Wallace met with club sport presidents last week to address their concerns and discuss the university’s future plan to create a new recreation and wellness facility.

The discussion covered the possibility of adding a student fee to support the construction.

Moody Nolan recommended creating a new facility after conducting the 2010 study. The $60 million project would include a new recreational center, space for club and intramural sports, an educational wellness center, a new medical clinic and a new Counseling Center.

According to university statistics, Counseling Center usage increased by 64 percent from 2001 to 2011.

“A future wellness center that houses recreation, health care and counseling would also help to further normalize

counseling and encourage students’ pursuit of wellness,” said Michael Zebrowski, director of the Counseling Center.

With stairs leading to its waiting room, Wallace and Zebrowski said the Counseling Center is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Zebrowski said he hopes for a future center that will be easily accessible to all students.

The university is considering the new wellness facility within its master planning sessions but has not announced any specific plans to start fundraising for it.

“We would make sure that students are in the forefront of saying exactly what this new space would look like,” Wallace said.

MUSG is also working to implement some short-term recreational changes that include laying turf on Norris Park, increasing access to the Al McGuire Center and improving Practice Space East behind Bookmarq and Humphrey Hall’s practice space.

MKE to play vital role with 2016 elections Democrats have possibility to win swing state’s votes

By Gary Leverton

gary.leverton@marquette.edu

With the second Democratic debate heading to Milwaukee on Thursday, several Marquette political science professors notice a different type of primary race brewing.

“Conventional wisdom of what makes a candidate successful isn’t happening this election,” said Karen Hoffman, an assistant professor of political science. “The more outside of the political spectrum, the more people like them.”

Paul Nolette, an assistant professor of political science,

said it’s interesting how outsiders to both parties are doing well. He mentioned how Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) only officially became a Democrat last year and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Businessman Donald Trump are not as popular in the Republican Party, yet all three have enjoyed success.

“This primary season has seen a lot of twists and turns,” Nolette said. “It should be interesting to see how it finishes.”

Mark Berlin, an assistant professor in political science, said one of the more intriguing issues he’s seen is how Republican candidates are eager to use torture without thinking of the legal implications. Berlin said Cruz has advocated for waterboarding war criminals, while Trump has talked

about more extreme tactics like killing the families and friends of terrorists.

“It’s pretty striking to me that Republican candidates are bragging about committing war crimes,” Berlin said. “There has been a competition between them to want to use torture.”

On the Democratic side, Berlin said he found it interesting that foreign policy hasn’t been discussed as much compared to the Republican side. He said that he assumes it is due to the fact the Democrats don’t believe voters are as concerned with foreign policy.

While Milwaukee may not seem like the ideal choice to hold a Democratic debate, Hoffman said Wisconsin is typically considered a swing state. Even if the past two elections haven’t

shown it, the state provides an opportunity for Democrats to help themselves now and later in the election.

Nolette said Wisconsin can become quite the battleground during the general election. It’s primary voting day is later in the schedule, April 5.

In the Feb. 1 Iowa primary, the youth turnout was the second-highest in the last 20 years at 11.2 percent, according to Milwaukee Public Radio. That trend continued during the Feb. 9 New Hampshire primary, when the youth turnout was 15 percent according to The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.

Hoffman said it’s important that young people vote to exert their power and voice on

issues like the student loan program. She said the stereotype that young people aren’t voting enough will continue until they consistently show up at the polls.

“Yes, (Sanders) has managed to get young people to rally,” Hoffman said.

“But can he continue that throughout the election?”

Nolette agreed it is very important that young people vote.

He said studies show that the earlier people begin to vote, the more likely they are to continue to vote. Like Hoffman, Nolette said he’s curious whether the younger vote will continue throughout the entire election.

TASERS, from page 1

40 MUPD officers to be trained in taser pilot program

“The taser itself gives officers the chance to back off and give some space,” Kranz said. “The only time a taser would actually be used on a person is if there is an immediate threat of harm being done to somebody.”

Kranz mentioned instances when tasers should not be used, including when someone is passively resisting arrest or fleeing from an officer.

Kranz also said MUPD will track the deterrent effects of tasers, such as when tasers are made known but not used by an officer. This gives MUPD the chance to analyze how much impact the possibility of taser use has on potential suspects.

Michael Krzewinski, adjunct assistant professor of criminology and law studies, said tasers are less of a hassle compared to guns and there is a far greater

chance of deadly consequences when using guns as opposed to tasers. He said tasers will decrease the chances of a lawsuit or citizen complaints filed against police officers.

MUPD’s pilot taser program follows the national trend of increased taser and stun-gun sanctioning by police departments across the country. A Justice Department report concluded that the sanctioning of tasers and stun guns rose from seven percent in 2000 to 81 percent in 2013, and has likely risen since.

Kranz and MUPD Chief Paul Mascari were optimistic that tasers will be used on a limited basis, while mentioning during the advisory board meeting that it has been several months since the possibility of tasers was an option.

Krzewinski, a veteran of the

Milwaukee Police Department, said he wholeheartedly supports the implementation, and said tasers are one of the greatest inventions for police officers.

MUPD Chief Paul Mascari recently met with Marquette IT Services to discuss the technical side of body cameras, such as storage logistics. He said they are in the process of finding a project manager for body cameras, and that the due diligence required with this project makes it difficult to have a definitive timetable.

Mascari said body cameras

“

will hopefully be implemented in a trial phase by the end of this month. The trial phase will last until at least summer, giving MUPD an idea of how much data is gathered by an average summer patrol shift.

MUPD can then compare the summer JEFF KRANZ data to MUPD Chief the spring semester data.

The advisory board also discussed LIMO education. Mascari said MUPD focuses on educating students about LIMO services but sometimes overlooks

The only time a taser would actually be used on a person is if there is an immediate threat.”

informing faculty and staff.

“That’s an area where, quite frankly, we could be doing a better job,” Mascari said, noting that MUPD will look into better ways of training faculty and staff in this regard.

In addition, during the advisory board meeting, more details emerged about the attempted robbery and shooting incident that took place Feb. 6 on 20th St. Kranz said the two victims, who are not affiliated with Marquette, were walking back from the The Rave on 24th St. and Wisconsin Ave. One victim suffered a non-critical gunshot graze, while the other victim was not physically harmed.

The next advisory board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 5, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Raynor Library Conference Center.

Over $400,000 raised for $1 million goal Marcus Lemonis partners with alma mater for fundraiser

Alumnus Marcus Lemonis, star of “The Profit” on CNBC, partnered with Marquette for the One Million Dollar Challenge to help fundraise for the university.

“The challenge is going well, with over $451,000 raised to date, including the first $100,000 from Marcus,” said Sara Harvey, managing director of annual giving for the University Advancement Office.

“Marcus has a deep desire to build a culture of philanthropy, and he particularly hopes the challenge inspires students and young alums to give back to the Marquette community.”

The challenge has received a strong fundraising response so far, and Harvey hopes to continue the streak.

handles the donations. They work with other fundraising campaigns in addition to the challenge.

Lemonis looks to give the money to various initiatives across campus.

“I am unsure if this will be an annual event, but we have been thrilled to support an initiative that has the potential to improve the student experience at the university,” Harvey said.

Lemonis will visit campus Feb. 26 for National Marquette Day, according to Kathleen Waterbury, director of brand marketing in the Office of Marketing and Communication.

Experimental new show creates unique challenge for casts

It’s a really interesting hybrid sort of production.

The show choreography combines theatre acting, modern and contemporay dance and traditional ballet.

“I think when you are not influenced by anything you get to create who this person is yourself.” O’Donnell said. “You feel incredibly invested in that process and I think it really makes you think a lot more about the acting choices you actually make.”

Another aspect of being in the original cast is that there is wiggle room in the choreography. While Pink has ultimate authority, O’Donnell and Howell were able to make small tweaks and suggestions so the choreography would suit them best.

Pink did a lot to make this a cutting edge show. Many ballets are silent, but “Dorian Gray” will not only have dialogue, but feature James Zager, an actor who will play Lord Henry Wotton and narrate at certain points in the production.

Adding an actor to the show proved challenging. Dancers must respond to him physically without turning their responses into a dance move.

In addition to the dialogue, it will utilize ballet technique as well as modern and contemporary style.

“It’s a really interesting hybrid sort of production,” O’Donnell said. “I don’t think there should be these rules.

You’re going to see a performance and there are all of these wonderful mediums.”

With all of these new and exciting elements on stage, there are just as many new things happening backstage.

Each costume is new, but some dancers share costumes. Fittings are being executed as they were in the past.

The company will also have new lighting designs that will

be unique to the performance and venue. David Grill, who has worked with the company before, recently started to implement his designs. He did this year’s Super Bowl half time show just before this production.

This show presented many new challenges, but O’Donnell is ecstatic for the performances. He enjoys the range of emotions and personalities that he can play off of.

“This will be possibly the most fulfilling performance work I’ve done,” O’Donnell said.

“A lot of the time, principal roles that I’ve done before have been somewhat twodimensional, and Dorian is not. I feel like I’m playing six people in one show, and that is immensely fulfilling.”

MKE Baconfest returns for 5th sizzling year 102.9 THE HOG devotes Valentines Day to savory snack

By Rachel Kubrik

Rachel.kubrik@marquette.edu

Hearing the popping sizzle of strips of salty bacon frying in a pan is mouth-watering. The radio station, 102.9 THE HOG, decided to take advantage of many people’s constant pork cravings by creating a festival dedicated to all things bacon. The fifth annual Baconfest MKE will be held Feb. 14 from 11:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the event center inside Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.

Scott Schubert, the promotions director for THE HOG and event coordinator, said that he knew some people in Des Moines, Iowa, who began hosting Baconfests five years before Milwaukee’s got started.

He traveled there to check it out and was impressed. He decided 102.9 THE HOG needed to put on a Baconfest for themselves.

“Since the name of the station is THE HOG, bacon makes a lot of sense for that,” Schubert said.

Baconfests have been popping up all over the country.

“I know there’s a couple in Chicago, there’s one in Vegas, (and) Madison had one last year,” Schubert said. “They’re getting very popular.”

THE HOG’s Baconfest took place at the Harley Davidson Museum for its first three years.

When the event grew due to increasing popularity, the radio station decided last year to move the event to the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. Schubert said that Potawatomi is double the size of the Harley Davidson Museum. With around 35-40 vendors

– restaurants, bars, and other businesses that are, for the most part, local to Milwaukee – about 2,300 people will attend this year.

The radio station made some adjustments to the event from customer feedback over the years. They worked to get the lines leading up to the vendor’s tables shorter, changed the times of when people can enter and expanded some room’s housing vendors.

Baconfest MKE has always been held the Sunday after the Super Bowl. This year, it just happened to fall on Valentine’s Day. Schubert said that people will respond to Baconfest landing on Valentine’s day in one of two ways.

“There are people who will not go because it’s Valentine’s Day and they want to do something romantic, and I think there’s people on the other end who think, ‘hey, let’s do this because it is romantic and we love bacon!’” Schubert said.

There will be bacon in all forms and several bars providing bacon vodka and bacon-flavored beer.

On the Clock Bar & Grill, located at 4301 S. Howell Ave., is vending at Baconfest for its third year and providing bacon macaroni and cheese.

“It’s an excellent product,” said Robert Krause, owner of On the Clock. “People love it.”

Krause said he looks forward

t o promoting his business and the opportunity to give customers the chance to taste something that they would normally have to stop in his restaurant to try.

The Saloon on Calhoun, located at 17000 W. Capitol Drive in Brookfield, is making bacon Bloody Marys and rumaki for Baconfest. Rumaki is baked water chestnuts wrapped in pepper-encrusted bacon, with teriyaki maple sauce drizzled over the top. Dave Dayler, owner of the Saloon on Calhoun, said that their business is one of the few vendors that have been there for all five Baconfests.

“It’s fun for us because we’re a bacon-focused bar,” Dayler said. “It’s a chance for us to just celebrate some of the fun things that we do with bacon and let people know that we are out in Brookfield and have a bacon-esque menu.”

Schubert said that he hopes that everyone enjoys themselves at the event as well as the bacon. His goal is to get people to want to come back next year.

Bacon enthusiasts pose with the Baconfest mascot at last year’s event.

“It’s a fun event,” Dayler said. “People will wear a lot of bacon-type t-shirts, and I see a

lot of bacon hats. It’s a chance for people to get together and get bacon-focused items.”

Choir to perform before Democratic debate 12 MU students asked to sing for Thursday’s pre-show

By Stephanie Harte

Stephanie.harte@marquette.edu

When Nathaniel Eubanks, director of Marquette’s gospel choir, was asked if his group could perform at the Democratic pre-debate show on Thursday, he knew it was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.

“The senior director of PBS actually called my cell phone,” Eubanks said. “I don’t know how she got it, but they saw a couple videos on YouTube and they wanted us.”

The debate will be held at UW-Milwaukee’s Helen Bader Concert Hall. Eubanks is only allowed to bring 12 students to perform due to the limited space on stage, which he said was a very difficult decision to make, as the

choir contains around 30 students.

Eubanks received the phone call last Thursday and said there has been a whirlwind of emails, phone calls and even contact from Secret Service since then. The choir will be singing “Happy” by Pharrell Williams.

“It’s a song that can lift the spirits of the people and get everyone to a neutral place to just smile and say ‘I’m thankful just to be here,’” Eubanks said.

The choir rehearses every Monday for about three hours.

Eubanks said the only focus this week was on the debate in order to be completely prepared.

Timothy LaRose, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said he can’t wait to perform.

He added that the group is ready, despite the nerves that will come from performing on TV. “It’s intimidating and exciting (getting to see) all the people you see on TV in real life as well,” LaRose said.

Artis Galloway-Landon, a junior in the College of Business

Administration, became president of the gospel choir in fall 2015.

He was at a loss for words on how to describe the opportunity, but he believes the group’s diversity is one of the reasons it was chosen.

“I think they wanted to capture the fact that we are one of the most diverse and integrated clubs on campus,” GallowayLandon said. “We are just super excited that we get to share our craft and our song.”

Eubanks became the gospel choir director 13 years ago. He said the group performs a lot on campus and in the community, which helped them catch PBS’s attention. He agrees that the choir’s message and diversity helped make them good candidates to fill the spot.

“Music is just my love,” Eubanks said. “It’s a universal language that everyone can come together and share. This is a historic event, and we have the pleasure of being a part of it.”

STAFF EDITORIAL

Marquette must strive to implement mentorship programs across colleges The Marquette Connect website for alumni claims that Marquette offers many opportunities to connect established alumni with students and recent graduates for mentoring relationships. There are notably five mentorship opportunities: CIRCLES eMentor Network via LinkedIn, the Marquette University Alumni Association Mentor Program, the College of Business Administration Mentor Program, Diederich College of Communication Mentoring Program and the College of Nursing Project: BEYOND. While these five programs are noteworthy, for a university of almost 12,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional studies students, Marquette must strive to create more mentoring opportunities and networking efforts for its students to help ensure success beyond the bounds of campus.

For example, The Business Administration Mentor Program is the College of Business Administration’s mentor program that other Marquette colleges should strive to imitate. Every year this program helps 250 business students and alumni form productive relationships. Alumni communicate with their students and share insights

on career choices, interviewing skills and career development. The program runs throughout the academic year, and generally speaking, students are pleased with the relationships they form and the business understanding they gain on behalf of the program.

If we are willing to say these programs are for all students, Marquette must make the mentor programs as inclusive as possible. Only two of these programs are somewhat broad in terms of a student’s ability to participate. Unfortunately, the MUAA Mentor Program is only available to students in the Colleges of Health Sciences, Communication, Arts & Sciences and Engineering. This means the program excludes three of the undergraduate affiliated colleges – the Colleges of Nursing, Business Administration and Education – and five graduate and professional studies colleges.

Academic programs at Marquette vary in the ways they prepare students for the professional world, and should strive to create mentorship programs that cater directly to their students. For example, the College of Arts & Sciences is diverse, and each major is multifaceted in terms of where one can go next. While so many options

create exciting opportunities, they can be overwhelming. With mentors, students can plan strategically and narrow down the career path of their choice.

One of Marquette’s great selling points for prospective students who tour the university is how incredible the alumni association is.

Yes, it is true: blue and gold runs deep, and professionals across the country are excited when recent Marquette graduates express interest in the firm or field in which they work. Talk and praise of the alumni association is one thing, but practice – actually connecting with current students – is what really makes the difference.

Strengthening the mentor programs will be a joint effort by university colleges and students.

If students see these programs as opportunities, they must understand the hard work that goes into creating a relationship with said mentor. As young professionals, students need to assume responsibility for communicating.

When reflecting on the Marquette experience, students want to look back with pride at the opportunities they had. From service involvement to research or studying abroad, students have options.

With that said, students are wary that college is (roughly) four years, and then it’s time for the real world.

Improving mentorship efforts at Marquette will give students a leg up in their professional careers, and they will look back and aspire to do the same for the future generations of students, because that’s the kind of student body we are.

Iowa Caucus: Why again do we do this?

Caroline Comstock The 2016 Iowa Caucus has certainly garnered the media hype that it usually does. The Internet has been buzzing, not only about how close the results came in on the democratic side, but also with a number of newcomers raising the fair question, “why again do we do this?”

In the technology age, many question the seemingly antiquated caucus process and why it receives national attention.

Although Iowa has held caucuses since becoming a state, they gained significance in the 1970s when Jimmy Carter focused his campaign efforts locally across Iowa and went on to win the nomination.

Still, the results are often inconclusive in terms of predicting the eventual nominee on the Republican side. Since 1980, only three Republican candidates who won Iowa went on to be the party’s nominee. In contrast, Iowa’s decision on the Democratic side has accurately predicted the party’s nominee all but twice since 1980.

This makes the tie in Iowa last week all the more unusual.

Hillary Clinton was declared the winner, but Sanders fans don’t seem discouraged. And with a virtual 50-50 tie, they shouldn’t be. The Des Moines Register somewhat coolly announced that delegates are sometimes decided by a coin toss in the event of a tie. Some might say that decisions relating to the presidential nomination process are a tad more critical than who gets to kick first.

Nevertheless, Clinton managed to beat insurmountable odds to win six coin tosses. Perhaps we should consider playing her Powerball numbers.

The Republican caucus in Iowa is pretty straightforward.

The night begins at one of the 1,681 caucus sites where neighbors gather to discuss the issues and make cases for their favorite candidates. They eventually cast their vote by writing down their candidate and then tallying the candidates’ names. The Republican winner tends to be announced first.

The Democratic process is not as simple. With the attention it receives, it’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The night ends

with the individual caucuses electing delegates to the county convention. The candidates are then assigned a state delegate equivalent. The state delegates will ultimately go on to represent Iowa at the party’s national convention in the summer.

Caucus-goers will choose a corner of a school gym, town hall or classroom to stand in, representing their candidate choice. Once the participants sort themselves, viability is determined. To remain a viable candidate in that particular caucus, candidates will usually have to meet a 15% threshold to stay in the game. If they don’t, participants are told to “realign” where they either recruit others to their group to become viable, join another group or go home. This was the point in which Martin O’Malley announced he was dropping out of the race, leaving his supporters to realign.

If the results are able to be converted evenly to a proportional amount of delegates, they are sent to the state party headquarters to be thrown in with the rest of the results. If not, it becomes pretty sticky.

As we know, assigning the last delegates was a matter of mere decimal places, and evidently, coin tosses.

The caucuses primarily serve to determine a candidate’s chances of successfully moving forward, but not necessarily their strength vis-à-vis other candidates. To finish in the top four is not a death sentence.

Anything below that, candidates drop out. It’s about time the GOP started to narrow a bit.

It’s not a perfect system, and Iowans seem to accept that.

However, it’s a unique opportunity for everyday people to have their voices heard in the public arena and challenge each other face-to-face. It certainly inspires confidence in the political process when so many feel their vote matters little in an arguably convoluted campaign finance and electoral college system.

Still, Iowa is just the beginning of what seems to be an unpredictable race. The New Hampshire results have already dispelled any myths that one person or another has it in the bag. South Carolina and Nevada on deck.

Recognizing the Internet as an invaluable learning resource

The Marquette Tribune

Marquette students: do not fear this city Morgan Hughes

Photo by Yue Yin/yue.yin@marquette.edu

Studies have shown that laptops and cellphones sitting out during class is distracting to other students.

Jack Hannan In this increasingly high-tech digital age, we are accustomed to having technology involved in every aspect of our lives.

When used properly, computers have the ability to make tasks simpler and more efficient. We have only just begun to tap into this powerful potential.

Technology is pervasive, and its growth shows no signs of slowing. Many college students, soon to be young professionals, are scrambling to keep up with the constant digital progress so as not to get caught between the older generations who are already stably employed and younger generations who are inherently more computer literate.

The classroom seems to be a natural and ideal setting to develop computer skills through the integration of new technology and traditional teaching methods.

Beyond expanded information access, laptops also allow students a better means for organized note-taking than standard pen and paper. Those of us with less-thanneat handwriting or a tendency to doodle are able to quickly type detailed notes with word processors. Organizing these notes within a structured file storage system contained in one hard drive is much more convenient than carrying different notebooks and folders for every class.

But we are having difficulty separating the productivity of computers from their entertainment features. Marquette, like hundreds of other colleges, maintains explicit in-class lap-

top usage policies. Among other factors, a significant reason for the rule is its potential to be a distraction, a belief validated by a variety of research studies.

The studies claim that laptops are empirically proven to distract both the students using them, and the students nearby.

With the amount of time we spend on our computers, I don’t think any of us need a double blind experiment to come to the same conclusion.

Regardless of what you’re doing on your laptop, be it browsing the web, posting on social media, listening to music or watching Netflix, it is very easy to become fixated on the screen and ignore your surroundings. However, I don’t think this fact alone is enough to completely write off the value of computers in a classroom setting.

Although many of the entertainment features are obvious distractions, they grant easy access to an unprecedented amount of information that can supplement normal classroom learning.

Engaged students often pose thought provoking questions during class periods that require professors to conduct research in their free time before answering at a later date. But I have been present in multiple classes where this process was expedited to a total of about five seconds via a Google search.

This is just one of many educational benefits that arise from students having all of the information in the world at their fingertips.

Of course, we cannot sell short the importance of knowledgeable teachers leading classes, as computers cannot provide the same kind of personalized one-on-one

interaction. However, there is no doubt that students would benefit from having technological resources to address any individual questions they have.

It is easy to understand the university administration’s fear of laptops disrupting learning, as they create a strong temptation to check Facebook instead of listening to lectures. But the fact is, we have a very limited time to overcome that temptation. Once we enter the professional world we’ll be expected to function efficiently with computers every day. Most jobs will require us not only to stay focused while working with computers but also to be well-versed in using them to complete tasks. Why not develop these skills now?

We’ve reached the point where teaching computer programming as an elementary school subject is being seriously discussed by political leaders. Few people will dispute the value of advanced computer skills, so it makes sense that we want to help our children to develop them at a young age.

What doesn’t make sense is why we don’t feel the same way about students within higher education.

Fear of distraction is causing us to miss a crucial opportunity to set ourselves up for future success. All I ask is that we be allowed to make the decision ourselves. Students are well aware of both the positive and negative capabilities computers can have on learning. It is our responsibility to determine which of these capabilities we will pursue.

Raise your hand if you have ever walked down Wisconsin Avenue. Keep it up if you have ever taken the city bus. Keep it up if you’ve ever had to sit next to someone on the bus who made you uncomfortable, or who you would have avoided had it been possible. My guess is that a lot of hands are still in the air.

I’m not chastising anyone. I have no high horse on which I can make self-righteous statements. I feel the same way a lot of the time. It doesn’t matter that I feel guilty about it, the mentality is still there. But what makes us so uncomfortable?

Last week I was walking in a neighborhood about 10 blocks north of campus and someone got out of their car to ask me for my phone number. He asked a series of questions about my relationship status, my plan for the day and whether or not it included him. He also asked what I was doing on that side of town.

It was definitely a little unsettling to have someone pull up next to me, get out of his car, and then approach me. Despite being more than a little uncomfortable, his last question struck me.

What did he mean, “what are you doing on this side of town?”

Did I really look so out of place?

Apparently the answer was yes.

I don’t want to give any of us a scapegoat, but this interaction made me think that a big reason we feel uncomfortable around some of Milwaukee’s permanent residents is that we know we don’t fit in.

Most of us at Marquette are either not from Milwaukee, not staying in Milwaukee after graduation or both. I’m sorry, but this is not our city. There is more to

Milwaukee than Riverwest, Bayview and Brady Street. I don’t want to speak for everyone, but I know that I don’t belong. I can’t relate to the struggle of living in a low-income or marginalized neighborhood in one of the most segregated cities in the country.

However, I don’t want to justify ignoring every Milwaukee resident to whom I feel I can’t relate. That’s a bogus excuse anyway. While I think our differences are part of the reason, they can’t be the whole story.

Ultimately, people are afraid.

Milwaukee has a connotation.

When I first told my grandma that I was going to Marquette she lectured me on safety and asked why I would ever want to live in “such an awful city.”

During a late-night conversation about race, wealth and poverty, my friend Zach explained to us why he isn’t afraid of the big bad city. He said he gives everyone, from the wealthiest to the most impoverished, the same basic level of trust just for being human.

I think that’s the key word in these kinds of discussions – trust. Do we trust Milwaukee’s permanent residents, the people who we tend to avoid eye contact with on the sidewalk and avoid sitting next to on the bus, the ones with no Marquette affiliation, less than we trust the 21-year-old white student carrying a Marquette ID? There’s an assumption that everyone is out to get us. A basic level of trust for a community of people who we might not be able to fully relate to is a good first step to uniting a separated city.

To close with a cliché makes me cringe, but the first step in finding a solution is admitting that there is a problem.

Playoff hunt: Nationals in sight

MU to play tuneup tournament before Regionals

By Jamey Schilling

andrew.schilling@marquette.edu

When the clock hit zero Saturday afternoon at the Ponds of Brookfield, the Marquette hockey team’s impressive regular season came to a close.

At 21-4-2, the team finished third in the crowded American Collegiate Hockey Association Pacific Region and will have to play into the national tournament.

Marquette needs to earn a ticket to the ACHA National Tournament in March by winning two straight games in the regional bracket, which takes place in Lincoln, Nebraska Feb. 19-20. The seeding for the tournament, which is based on rank instead of standing, will be released this weekend. Marquette is projected as the No. 3 seed in the region behind Metropolitan State University of Denver and Colorado State, who would both earn automatic berths to nationals as the top two seeds.

Before regionals, the Golden Eagles will play in a pretournament of sorts. The MidAmerica Collegiate Hockey Association Silver Division playoffs provide a final test for teams on the cusp of making ACHA Nationals. After winning the eight-team tournament last year, Marquette is the No. 2 seed in this weekend’s bracket.

Iowa State, who finished the season on a 10-game win streak to lead the Pacific division in wins with 23, is the No. 1 seed. The Cyclones present Marquette’s biggest roadblock

for repeating as champions.

They averaged 5.5 goals and allowed only 1.9 goals per game.

The teams did not meet in the regular season.

“No matter who we play, we have to take them seriously, whether we’ve played them before or not,” head coach Will Jurgensen said.

The Golden Eagles will face No. 7 Loyola-Chicago in the first round, who Marquette swept in a two-game series two weeks ago. The first game was a dominant 11-2 victory, but the second game proved to be a much greater challenge. The team was forced to comeback from a 5-2 deficit in the third period before junior forward Chris Dolan sealed the 6-5 win with 2:13 left in the game.

“That was regular season, and this is the playoffs,” Jurgensen said. “There’s a trophy on the line, and at the end of the day you can’t take any team lightly ... whether they’re a high seed or a low seed, they can beat you.”

The Golden Eagles have a statistical advantage on both ends of the ice. They’ve scored 165 goals this season, a massive margin above Loyola’s 99 goals scored. Marquette’s defense has allowed 2.8 goals per game, which is also superior to a Ramblers unit that has conceded 3.5 per game.

“The team is playing with a lot of confidence right now,” junior forward Johnny Stillman said.

Stillman will face off against the Ramblers’ Dominic Marcus, the team’s leading scorer with 15 goals and 11 assists on the season. Marcus will have to outshoot Stillman, Marquette’s leading goal scorer, in order to give the Ramblers a chance in this game. Stillman

“You catch a hot goaltender, and you can go places,” head coach Will Jurgensen said of Robby Arner.

has 20 goals and 14 assists on the season for a team ranked third in the Pacific Region in overall goals scored.

Despite Marquette’s offensive prowess, Jurgensen believes sophomore goaltender Robby Arner, who is tied for the Division III Pacific lead in wins with 21, will be the team’s key to success.

“You have to have good goaltending in the playoffs. You catch a hot goaltender, and you can go places,” Jurgensen said.

“He’s played well for us all year, and I anticipate that he’ll continue to do so.”

Arner will depend on the rest of his team to keep up its formula in front of him: Score goals and keep penalties to a minimum. The team struggled with on-ice discipline early in the season but now rank ninth in the Pacific Region in fewest amount of penalty minutes.

“Our discipline has gotten a lot better,” Jurgensen said. “This semester, for the most part, the guys have really tried to stay out of the box, and it helps,” One aspect of the game the team will need to work on is turnovers. Although there’s no official statistic kept, it has been an apparent problem in recent games, including this past weekend’s home

series against Butler.

“A lot of the times (turnovers are) happening right as we’re trying to bring the puck out,” Jurgensen said. “We just have to tighten up in the defensive zone and make sure all the guys come up together.”

If Marquette beats Loyola, it will face the winner of No. 3 Aurora versus No. 6 Bradley.

Marquette swept Aurora and split the series with Bradley in the regular season.

The Golden Eagles have had

a successful season, but nobody plays for a regular season trophy. The road to nationals will be challenging, even if it’s only a matter of a few games.

The fresh start of a “new” season begins Friday with the MACHA playoffs before regionals.

“We have to come out and be ready to go, because three wins and we hoist a trophy,”Jurgensen said. “It’s just making sure we’re starting over and battling for 60 minutes.”

Assistants key to MU turnaround Women’s coaches bring diverse styles to sideline

By Andrew Goldstein

andrew.goldstein@marquette.edu

Every Marquette women’s basketball fan knows head coach Carolyn Kieger. However, very few people know the three people who help her run the team.

Ginny Boggess, Scott Merritt and Vernette Skeete are the assistant coaches for the team. They create game plans, run player drills, bear a lot of the recruiting load and work with their boss to establish a team culture.

“All of my assistant coaches I knew prior (to coming here),” Kieger said. “That was important to me because when you’re building a family culture, I wanted to make sure that my staff believed in the same things I believed in.”

THE KINDRED SPIRIT Some students enter college not exactly sure what they want to do with their life. In 2005, Vernette Skeete nearly exited college that way too.

“I was sitting in my dorm room five days from graduation and my head coach (from high school) called me,” Skeete said.

“He asked me what I was doing and I told him that I was probably going to get ready to go to graduate school, maybe think about playing (professionally), but I didn’t really have it all figured out. He said ‘I’m going into administration; would you like to come back and coach?’”

Despite never considering coaching before, Skeete took that job at Malone High School in Florida and brought them to the state finals. Four years later, the University of Miami (FL) hired her as the coordinator of basketball operations, which eventually turned

into an assistant coaching job.

While coaching, she shared a sideline with Kieger, who became an assistant after graduating from Marquette. The two got along famously.

“Her and I have both been running the same workouts for years and share a lot of the same player development philosophies,” Kieger said. “So that’s an easy transition for us now.”

At the conclusion of the 2012 season, Skeete left the Hurricanes for her first headcoaching job at Gulf Coast State College, a junior college in Panama City, Florida. She spent two years there, then got a phone call from a fervent Kieger, who had recently taken the reins at Marquette.

“She was like, ‘Oh, we’ve got this here and that here,’ and she was telling me about all this stuff and what we could do. It just got me excited.”

MR. FINAL FOUR

Scott Merritt had no collegiate coaching experience before coming to Marquette at the beginning of last season. Then again, it’s not as if he really needed any.

Merritt played at Marquette as a forward and center from 200004, starting alongside Dwyane Wade as a member of the 2003 Final Four team. After graduation, Merritt played professionally overseas in Japan, South Korea and Turkey.

“I’ve had some extremely difficult situations in other countries, and it kind of prepared me for pretty much anything that the job would bring about,” Merritt said.

Kieger’s first two years playing for Marquette aligned with Merritt’s final two years. The two developed a friendship, which ended up leading to a coaching opportunity.

“I approached her when she got the job,” Merritt said. “I think she thought I wanted to get involved on the men’s side … but I wanted to coach at the college level with

either men’s or women’s.”

While all three assistant coaches are involved in almost every facet of the game, Merritt’s specialty is fairly well known. As a 6-foot-10 big-man, his greatest accomplishment has been teaching this guard-heavy team to box out for rebounds, fight their way into the paint and play like forwards.

“Our bigs will do guard stuff and our guards will do bigs stuff,” Merritt said.

That versatility defined Merritt as a player, and it seems to define his coaching philosophy as well.

THE STRATEGIST By the time the average Marquette student has rolled out of bed, Ginny Boggess has arrived

at the office, watched her daily share of game film and is deep into her recruiting calls.

“I like to get in and get settled before the hustle and bustle gets started,” Boggess said. “I go over all my recruiting assignments and see if there’s anybody playing or anybody I need to touch base with that day.”

Boggess, like most basketball assistant coaches, played in college, but openly admits that she was not a natural athlete, even during her playing days at Wingate University. It was this lack of natural athleticism that led Boggess to coaching.

“I kind of fell in love with the technical side of the game,” Boggess said. “The challenge (was) me being not so athletic, and so how could I gain an advantage?”

In the ultra-competitive world of coaching, there is no such thing as an inopportune time for a job offer. If there were, though, then it may be at the exact moment that Boggess received hers from Marquette.

She accepted the job Sunday, left for a trip to Nicaragua Monday and flew from her vacation straight to Marquette. “(Kieger) insisted I go on the vacation, which is why she’s so awesome,” Boggess remarked with a sly chuckle.

As adept as Boggess may be on the blackboard, it is her dedication to the game that won Kieger over.

“For her, it’s more than X’s and O’s,” Kieger observed. “She wants to mentor kids for life, and that’s really important to me.”

Best dressed at Marquette

With 14 varsity sports and a four-color design palette, the golden eagles boast some of the most unique jerseys in the NCAA. The Wire Sports staff decided to calculate each jersey worn in 2015 using the Marquette Aesthetic Ranking Quality, or MARQ, to determine which sport has the best look. (Note: Each team’s uniform was rated on a 1-10 scale by nine staff reporters) illustrations by lily stanicek

1. Men's basketball (8.1)

These jerseys serve as the foundation for Marquette’s brand, so it’s no surprise they are thought of as the best. The Marquette rainbow has become iconic, a sign of the renegade nature Marquette embodied in the 1970s. The yellow and championship blue jerseys pop on TV due to their uniqueness in the college uniform landscape, but the championship blue could be improved by adding the standardized arched wordmark. - Jack Goods

2. Women's soccer (7.7)

The navy kits launch women’s soccer into the upper echelon of college jerseys. They’re crisp and readable despite the horizontal white stripes. The championship blue alternates introduced at the end of 2015 boosted the aura of a team that certainly likes to make a fashion statement. - Dan Reiner

3. Women's basketball (7.3)

The gold jerseys look awesome, especially when paired with the relatively light shade of the Al McGuire Center court. The only complaint would be about the white jerseys; they’re bland enough that if you removed the lettering, you would not be able to tell what school they belong to. - Andrew Goldstein

4. Men's Soccer (6.8)

These jerseys do the best job representing the “blue and gold” spirit. None of them are extravagant, yet the gold really pops. The tri-color jersey utilizes the colors perfectly while paying homage to the 2014 U.S. Men’s National Team World Cup kit, but blue numbers would make them easier to read. - Connor Basch

5. Volleyball (6.6)

With volleyball jerseys, I’ve always thought simplest is best, and Marquette’s are no exception. I especially dig Marquette’s home whites, but the best part of these jerseys is the subtle “WE ARE” and “MARQUETTE” served up on both sleeves.

- Peter Fiorentino

6. Women's lacrosse (6.2)

The women’s lacrosse jerseys are fresh – it’s as simple as that. The team’s gold bumblebee jersey might be the most unique jersey Marquette has to offer (including men’s basketball). The team’s navy jersey offers a classic Marquette look, and I would buy the white jersey if it came in a men’s cut. - Thomas Salinas

7. Track & Field/Cross-Country (6.0)

For years, Marquette was stuck with the same blue and gold singlets. Don’t get me wrong; they’re clean and prominently display the arched wordmark, but the design was tired. The team finally debuted the championship blue alternates in 2015, but the color combination screams “Easter” more so than it does “Marquette.” - DR

8. Men's lacrosse (5.9)

The blue is the cleanest look, with thicker font than the original blues they rolled out three years ago. The yellow can seem a bit much at first but looks a lot more gold in person than on TV. Lacrosse will be adding to the gallery, as they are likely getting new threads this season. - JG

9. Golf (4.9)

These “jerseys” are the only ones on the list that you can players wear to their respective sporting event and then go straight to a business event without changing. Though they don’t wow with uniqueness, they present a classy look that one would expect for golf. - Jamey Schilling

10. Women's tennis (4.5)

Sometimes simple can look good, but in this case a little creativity could be beneficial.

The biggest problem is the lack of gold anywhere outside the MU logo, making it hard for a jersey to represent the true meaning of “blue and gold.” - Robby Cowles

11. Men's tennis (3.3)

The men’s team really faulted with these jerseys. The gray isn’t even on the Marquette color palette, so I’m not sure why it’s in the fold as gameday gear. Next time these jerseys are up for redesign, they really shouldn’t serve such a floater. - John Hand
