St. Mother Teresa was canonized by Pope Francis Sunday in the Vatican. The Marquette community gathered last Wednesday for a Mass to celebrate Mother Teresa’s canonization in advance. Community members reflect on her campus visit in 1981, when she was honored with the Pere Marquette Discovery Award—the
A newly opened Marquette autism clinic has begun its work across departments to provide holistic treatment to Milwaukee citizens. The first of its kind on campus, the multi-departmental Interdisciplinary Autism Clinic provides clients with resources from the psychology and speech pathology and audiology departments. The clinic opened last Monday. Amy Vaughan Van Hecke, associate professor of psychology and co-director of the IAC, said that spending time visiting the laundry list of healthcare professionals needed to provide resources for people affected by autism can be difficult. “To be able to say, ‘It’s all here. When you come to us, we provide’ — I think we’ll have a really big impact because I don’t think there’s really another clinic like that,” Van Hecke said. Available autism resources at Marquette have not always looked this optimistic. Before the IAC opened, the psychology department ran its own autism clinic. That clinic lacked the appropriate number of graduate level students to service clients because the department had to pay for students’ work through its own limited funds.
university’s highest honor. During the new saint’s visit to the university director of Manresa for Faculty Susan Mountin was in charge of the Eucharistic ministers and pregnant at the time. Mountin had suffered from miscarriage in her previous pregnancy and asked Saint Mother Teresa for her prayers. “She grabbed my hands and said, ‘I pray for the safety of your child’ and seven months later he was born.”
Mary Pat Pfeil, retired senior director of university communication, was also a Eucharistic minister during St. Mother Teresa’s visit. The canonization came as no surprise to Pfeil. There are two memories that stayed with her throughout the years. “Number one: How tiny Mother Teresa was,” Pfeil said. “She was this very, very tiny woman and number two: the saintliness of the woman. She was so focused on the Eucharist. You felt that
saintliness. I think that was palpable for people that day.” Elizabeth Roth, a freshman in the College of Engineering described the canonization as “beautiful.” “Coming to college right now, especially being at a Jesuit institution where service is so at the forefront of our education, to have witnessed the canonization of the first saint we’re going to remember was amazing,” Roth said.

Grocery store closest to MU shuts down Students express concern for shopping accesability, ease By Brittany Carloni
brittany.carloni@marquette.edu
Pick ‘n Save located at 1818 W. National Ave. officially closed Friday, Sept. 2 at 6 p.m., according to Bonnie Kwitek, an administrative assistant in engineering at Roundy’s Supermarkets, the parent company of Pick ‘n Save. The closest Pick ‘n Save to Marquette is now located at 605 E. Lyon St. in Milwaukee, near the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The proximity of the store on National Avenue made grocery shopping easier for Marquette students who previously visited the store. “It was more convenient and it’s usually cheaper than the one by Chipotle (on Lyon Street), although I’ve shopped there, too,” Lexi Boudreau, a senior in the

College of Engineering, said. Caroline Kupchella, a junior in the College of Communication, recently began testing out grocery stores to get food for her apartment in Campus Town West.

“Planning grocery visits with school is not easy to do,” Kupchella said. “If this Pick ‘n Save is closing and so close to campus, I would see that as a huge issue.” Kupchella said the National
Avenue Pick ‘n Save location could have helped her during the school year if she had more experience grocery shopping in Milwaukee. “Pick ‘n Save I know, and just by the experience I’ve had, the prices are reasonable,” Kupchella said. “Why would you not go there?” Although Boudreau said she began shopping at the National Avenue store two years ago, she doesn’t think the grocery store’s closing will have an impact on Marquette students. “It will maybe just impact the people who shopped there,” Boudreau said. “I don’t know that many people who did shop there.” Kupchella said the Pick ‘n Save’s closure will make Marquette students have to plan ahead to get groceries, especially students without cars. “The bus takes a long time to get places, so you really have to plan that into your day,” Kupchella said. Boudreau said there was minimal food left in the National Avenue store when she last shopped there mid-August. Now that the Pick ‘n Save is closed, she hopes to see a grocery store closer to campus. “I would like a grocery store that I could walk to because getting to the Pick ‘n Save on National Avenue is hard by bus,” she said. “It’s not very easy, so having one closer would be beneficial. But that Pick ‘n Save being gone is going to mean going up to the one on (Lyon Street).” As Kupchella continues grocery shopping this year, she sees an issue with the food resources near Marquette. “Are students going to end up going to Walgreens for your basic quick groceries like milk? It is significantly more expensive,” Kupchella said. “Where do you go if you just need milk? Or those basic little things that people could have gone to Pick ‘n Save for?” Roundy’s Supermarkets operates grocery stores such as Pick ‘n Save, Metro Market, Copps and Mariano’s. Other grocery stores near Marquette’s campus include Sav-On Foods at 2030 W. Clybourn St.; El Rey, located at 916 S. Cesar Chavez Drive; Fresh Thyme, located at 470 East Pleasant St.; and Metro Market located at 1123 N. Van Buren St.

From Bro’Donnell to Co’Donnell Students give the new co-ed residence hall rave reviews By Jackson Dufault
jackson.dufault@marquette.edu
O’Donnell Hall underwent many changes since the announcement of the hall’s closure in 2017, but most recently the dorm underwent renovations and transitioned from male-only to co-ed. According to O’Donnell Hall Director Jennifer Roche, things have been going well since the building welcomed its final group of residents before its closure in 2017. “Overall, the residents in O’Donnell have been enjoying the co-ed nature of the building,” Roche said. “We have seen residents of all genders socializing together frequently in our basement lounge enjoying each other’s company and getting to know each other.” The student response has been positive and the new residents said people are always asking where the girls are living in the building. “With the fact that it’s co-ed, you’re able to meet a broader network of people,” said Kyle Swansburg, a resident and freshman in the College of Business Administration. Some residents are not only enjoying the social perks of having females in O’Donnell but are
relishing in having a nonmale floor in the middle of the three-floor residence hall. “The middle floor doesn’t smell like absolute man stank,” said Joe Marco, a resident and freshman in the College of Engineering. Nick Contezac, current senior in the College of Arts & Sciences and a former O’Donnell Hall resident, said he thinks the residence hall might become more of a party dorm because of the new set-up. “I just think it’s weird that there are two guy floors and only one female floor,” Contezac said. “People wouldn’t want to go to O’Donnell (in the past) because it was all guys.” Contezac did point out, he feels like this is a move the university had to make to account for the increased enrollment. According to Roche, resident assistants have received requests to combine weekly traditions with other floors to allow for more interaction with residents in other parts of the building. The community at O’Donnell Hall appears to be close-knit. In the field on the side of the building, residents of both genders regularly play games such as Frisbee and a variation of volleyball called Spikeball. One resident who was partaking in a game of Spikeball commented on the amenities found at O’Donnell Hall and the popularity of the basement at O’Donnell.

O’Donnell Hall was converted from male-only to co-ed this year.
“The basement, or the ‘Batcave’ as the residents call it, is a great place to meet new people and socialize if you’re bored,” said Mark Luchok, a freshman in the College of Engineering. Resident Natalie Anderson, a freshman in the College of Health Sciences, also commented on events that frequently occur in O’Donnell’s basement. “The basement is lively with ping-pong tournaments and pool tournaments,” she said. “People like to relax down there because it is the only place that is air-conditioned.” Anderson said she liked that O’Donnell is close to Mashuda
because she likes eating there. Luchok said he enjoys living in a co-ed dormitory, commenting on how easy it is to meet people of both genders. “You don’t have to travel to different dorms,” Luchok said. “You can just stay in your dorm and go to the ‘Batcave’ and meet girls and guys.” Resident Abby Isakson, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, remarked on the recent renovations for the incoming freshman class. “It’s a pretty nice dorm,” Isakson stated. “I like how they renovated it for the freshmen this year.”

Ten year wait list abolished by new clinic
“It got to the point where we were telling families, ‘At the current rate of us taking in people, we won’t be able to see you in ten years,’” Van Hecke said. “‘Do you want us to keep your name on the list for ten years?’ That’s how bad it was. And they still said yes.” Alana McVey, a third year clinical psychology graduate student and a session leader at the IAC, worked in the old clinic as well. “When it was just the Marquette Autism Clinic, we had the psychological perspective, which was awesome and very interesting, but now that we have this interdisciplinary perspective it’s just another level of understanding,” McVey said.
With added graduate students from the speech pathology and audiology department, the clinic has been able to expand its Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills, a social skills intervention program for clients aged 11-28 and their families. The IAC staff reached out to clients on the old clinic’s PEERS waiting list. The IAC team plans to serve approximately 40 families through PEERS this academic year, which, according to Van Hecke, is three to four times the number of people that previously participated in PEERS in years prior. Another goal is to create a website and establish a clinic space of their own,
as they currently share a space with the Marquette Speech and Hearing Clinic. The benefits of having the IAC for student clinicians were also quickly apparent: “To work with psychology, which is what is best practice when working with individuals with autism in particular … it’s what (students) will be doing their whole careers,” said Wendy Krueger, clinical assistant professor of speech pathology and audiology and co-director of the IAC. The IAC will be able to diagnose individuals with autism, which is something that Krueger and Van Hecke said is needed in the Milwaukee area. For adults in particular, Marquette is the only location in

MU students selected for film festival
“Closed Mondays” beat over 450 other films to secure spot By Rebecca Carballo
rebecca.carballo@marquette.edu
“Closed Mondays” will be the first short film produced by Marquette students to play at the Milwaukee Short Film Festival Sept. 10. The film was created by Marquette alumni Henry Willette, Peter Basch, Reese Heinzinger, Jack Glowinski and Mike Cianciolo for their senior capstone class last fall. The short was filmed in the Haggerty Art Museum. The festival receives about 500 submissions, including many international films. About 50 are selected, according to festival director Ross Bigley. Leading actor Matt Nichols said it was a great accomplishment that the students made it into the festival. “The fact (Willette) got in the
Milwaukee Short Film Festival as a student speaks volumes,” Nichols said. “It’s very wellrespected and well-known.” Nichols said he is “grateful and humbled” to be part of the production. He added that he had not encountered a script like “Closed Mondays” before. “When I first read that script I was really drawn to it,” Nichols said. “It’s a unique story.” The film takes place in the Haggerty Museum of Art. A little girl befriends a lonely guard, played by Nichols, and they bond over their shared love of art. The two save the museum from its impending closing. Willette wrote and directed the film. About twenty students pitched their script to the class and voted on which they liked the best. Willette’s script was one of five chosen. According to Bigley, the strong female leading role was one of the reasons “Closed Mondays” was a contender for the film festival. This year the Milwaukee

“Closed Mondays” was produced in the Haggerty Art Museum to give it a more professional look.
Short Film Festival saw many submissions from young, female filmmakers. Bigley said many of the films were made by women or had a female protagonist. Bigley said he was impressed with the submission from Willette and his crew. “I think ‘Closed Mondays’ is one of our strongest films,” Bigley said. “It was solidly directed and beautifully shot.” Willette said the team strove to make the film as professional as possible. To achieve this goal, the group had a casting call for professional actors and carefully chose their shooting location. “We didn’t want it to look
like a student film,” Willette said. “We shot in the Haggerty to give the film a high production value.” Assistant professor Joe Brown, who taught the class, said he wanted the project to emulate an actual Hollywood movie, with each student in a specific role. “At the student level you tend to want to do it all, it’s your baby, but in an actual Hollywood movie the roles are very defined,” Brown said. Although Willette had plenty of camera experience, he had to step back from that work and take on the director’s position. Willette “was one of the top creative people in digital
media in the last few years,” Brown said. “He was good with the camera, storytelling, editing and everything.” Willette said it was initially difficult to step away from camera work, but he had confidence in his team. “I just wanted to try new things,” Willette said. “I always shot my own stuff, but as a director I trusted my crew.” There will be a series of awards presented at the festival. The judges have already viewed and scored the films. Bigley said he could not disclose the results, but added that “Closed Mondays” did “fairly well.”
Computer science growing Three professors begin teaching due to high enrollment By Matthew Harte
matthew.harte@marquette.edu
The university hired three new computer science professors for the academic year in response to high enrollment within the department. Shion Guha, Thomas Schwarz and Satish Puri began teaching this fall. The three teach introduction to computer science, introduction computer programming and data structures for engineers, respectively. Despoina Perouli, a second-year assistant professor in the department of mathematics, statistics and computer science, emphasized the strength of the department. “Enrollments are increasing,” Perouli said. “The department is doing great and definitely expanding.” Guha, a first-year professor, came to Marquette after teaching at Cornell University for the past few years. He said that the department’s different approach compared to other universities attracted him.
“This department is really unique because it’s a math, stats and computer science department,” Guha said. “You have a lot of different values and cultures here. If I was in a purely Computer Science Department, those values and cultures would be much more homogeneous than here.” Computer science is a popular choice for students at Marquette because it has a promising job market. “Students nowadays are looking at return on investment,” Guha said. “When one comes to a private school like Marquette, where tuition fees are reasonably higher than in-state tuition at a state school, one wants something out of it. One reason why computer science has become very popular here is because of the good jobs.” Schwarz said the major is a good choice in an economy that is turning toward more technology. “Once you have automatized taxis, buses and manufacturing, suddenly lots of jobs can be done better by machines,” Schwarz said. “The protection is to go to more highly technical skills.” Schwarz said that the future of computer science at Marquette will rely on keeping up with new
trends that apply computer science to different fields. “(Computer science) is going to be bigger, more diverse and much more difficult to place,” Schwarz said. “The old areas of computer science such as theoretical computer science, algorithms and databases will retain their importance, but their relative importance will shrink because there are so many new things that need to be done. Schwarz explained that old areas of computer science such as theoretical computer science, algorithms and databases will still be relevant, but new topics like bioinformatics, the analysis of biological information using computers, will be explored as well. “We are looking into bioinformatics, which will become central to most medical research,” Schwarz said. “Artificial intelligence is also going through a rebirth.” Matthew Vue, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences majoring in computer science, is glad there will be more faculty in the growing department. “It seems like a lot more people are getting into computer science,” Vue said. “It’ll also be a lower student-teacher ratio, which will help me learn better.”

Candidates battle over student loans Clinton, Trump have different views on higher education By Kevin Edgeworth
kevin.edgeworth@marquette.edu
With the presidential election looming, candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are traveling the country, promoting their substantially different platforms to combat the rising cost of higher education and reduce student loan debt for college students. More than 70 percent of college seniors in the United States graduated with student loan debt in the past few years, according to The Institute for College Access & Success, with the average amount owed at $30,000. Clinton, the Democratic nominee, lists a plan on her campaign website in which students from families making less than $85,000 per year can attend instate public universities tuitionfree. By 2021, it would expand to include families making less than $125,000 per year. “It sounds like a good idea in principal, but that money has to come from somewhere,” said Ryan Olson, a senior in the College of Business Administration. Clinton’s website says the tuition-free plan will be fully paid for by “limiting certain tax expenditures for
high-income taxpayers.” Clinton also plans to cut interest rates on federal student loans and offer a three-year loan interest and payment deferral for entrepreneurs. She also intends for community colleges to offer free tuition, a proposal which Republican nominee Donald Trump rejects. Trump lists no proposals for higher education reform on his campaign website. Despite his lack of input, domestic policy adviser and Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis said in an interview with Inside Higher Ed that Trump wants to end the federal government’s practice of offering student loans, instead preferring to leave student loans to private banks. Clovis also mentioned Trump’s intention to push universities to consider a student’s major and likely earnings after graduation in deciding a student’s loan eligibility. Some students, such as Crystal Audi, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, think that Trump’s proposal would discourage some students from majoring in areas they are interested in because they would be less eligible for student loans. “It is blatantly wrong to withhold loan assistance from students who are pursuing their passions,” Audi said. “(Trump’s) plan would lead to fewer students majoring in liberal arts, which include fields that contribute highly to

Maga continued,“I have no idea how one would base precise, working law on somebody’s ‘likely’ earnings,” Maga said. “The proposal needs further thought and definition.” Maga also stressed that he believes the United States can learn a lot about higher education reform from other countries.
“There are a number of our democratic allies overseas who maintain stronger legislative commitments to higher education access than the United States,” Maga said. “Although it is often politically incorrect in the United States to suggest that other societies ‘do it better,’ there are interesting precedents worth studying.”

MU professor wins prestigious award
Mehdi Maadooliat receives $2,000 for data set research By Matthew Harte
matthew.harte@marquette.edu
Mehdi Maadooliat, an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, won the Way Klinger Young Scholar Award in August. The award allows recipients to take a semester-long sabbatical to continue their research. Recipients are given $2,000 to cover operating costs and a portion of their salary is paid for. Maadooliat plans to spend the spring semester at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation in central Wisconsin. He will work on data sets with the Center for Human Genetics department. One of his collaborators will be Dr. Steven Schrodi, an associate research scientist at Marshfield. “I’m very thankful to the committee for selecting me,” Maadooliat said. “I’m sure they were all qualified candidates. Having one semester off will let me devote myself to my research and push further.” Schrodi said the biobank at the foundation has over 20,000 participants to chose from. “[The biobank] is composed of DNA samples, plasma, serum and linked electronic medical records,” Schrodi said.
“Maadooliat and others use this resource to conduct studies designed to identify genetic causes of diseases.” Maadooliat has worked on other projects with genetics, which helped him prepare for the research at Marshfield. “A statistician always needs to have some kind of application,” said Maadooliat. “For my Ph.D., I did some work in the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center on gene expression. During my postdoc I worked on protein structure modeling. Relatively, I was dealing with this biological type of data in different phases. Now I have an opportunity to work on this next sequencing type of data at Marshfield.” Maadooliat emphasized the help he received from his statistics collaborators at Marquette. He singled out Naveen Bansal, another professor in the department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. “(Maadooliat) was a student of ours a long time back and I was very impressed with him,” Bansal said. “I’m kind of a mentor (to) him, but I’m really glad to have him. He has a depth of computational statistics that I wish I had.” Bansal thinks working at Marshfield will be a good opportunity for Maadooliat to apply his knowledge of statistics. “He already has a collaborator at Marshfield with a medical background,” said Bansal. “It’s a good thing to have a

collaborator that is outside of statistics because as a statistician you don’t always know what problems the researchers are looking for.” Despite his plan to go to Marshfield for the spring semester, Maadooliat talked about his extensive history with Marquette and his fondness for the university. “I came to Marquette in 2004 as a graduate student,” Maadooliat said. “I came back to the university in the fall of 2013 as an assistant professor.

Free textbook exchange MUSG program will allow students to sell back for more money By Ryan Patterson
ryan.patterson@marquette.edu
In response to the rising cost of student textbooks, Marquette University Student Government is working on a textbook exchange program for students that will likely debut later this semester. MUSG is partnering with Texts.com to implement the program, which is free for students to use. Texts.com “is a student-tostudent marketplace wrapped inside a price comparison service,” according to its website. It has partnered with hundreds of other colleges and universities across the country, including several in Wisconsin. “Through this program, (the book) will go to another student and they’ll be able to sell it for a little more,” said MUSG executive vice president Adam Kouhel. “However, the buyer is still receiving the book at a low cost.” To use the program, Marquette students can sign up with their student email address, and will then have access to textbooks that others are selling
on the site. If a textbook is not available, Texts.com “will curate a bunch of other websites that will have that textbook,” Kouhel said. When a student wants to buy a textbook from another student, they will inquire with the seller via email and set up a time and location for the transaction. All transactions will occur face-to-face. There are several payment options, including cash, PayPal and Venmo. MUSG will put on its website a suggested list of locations for the in-person transactions, including the Marquette University Police Department offices on 16th Street and the MUSG offices on the first floor of the Alumni Memorial Union. MUSG President Abraham Ortiz Tapia and Kouhel included this as part of their campaign in spring. “We really saw the need for an alternative with textbooks because textbook costs, as well as access codes, are continuing to get higher and higher,” Kouhel said. “We want to make sure that we are able to address the student concern of textbook cost.” MUSG will sponsor and run the program on its own. “MUSG is in essence a student organization and its own kind of department on campus,” Kouhel said. “We have the
ability to be able to work on this program and be able to sponsor it directly through our organization.” MUSG is meeting later this month to discuss textbooks on campus with university administrators and Follett Corporation, which provides textbooks and other school supplies to BookMarq. “We wanted to make sure we weren’t necessarily competing with them, going against their work,” Kouhel said. “We wanted to be able to provide options and opportunities for students to get the best textbook costs on campus.” Kouhel said the students he talked to about the program are excited about a new textbook option. Eric Balle, a senior in the College of Health Sciences, shares the enthusiasm. “It seems like a good way to alleviate some of the high costs of an education,” he said. Kouhel is confident the program will work. “I see this program as a great first step in ensuring that we have a great model for textbooks and for books on Marquette’s campus,” he said. Kouhel is also optimistic “that once students start to log into the website and start to use the program, it will be self-sustainable.”

I get the chance to work more here in this nice situation.”

Pokestop
Pokemon Gym
Pokemon Go still remains popular amongst students By Jennifer Walter
jennifer.walter@marquette.edu
A Weedle peeks out from the side of the elevator on the fourth floor of Carpenter Tower. Snorlaxes, Eevees and a plethora of other colorful characters decorate the dorm doors. On a huge map, Pokestops and Gyms on and around campus are pinpointed on a sheet of paper that stretches down the freshman hallway. The phrase “CHOOSE YOUR TEAM” is emblazoned on the opposing wall with red, yellow and blue graphics pasted beneath. Some Marquette students are hopping on the Pokemon Go bandwagon — a themed augmented reality game that caught the attention of skilled trainers and newbies alike
since its release in July. Andrew Salinas, a junior in the College of Health Sciences, is a huge Pokemon fan. He is the resident assistant for floor seven, one of two Pokemon-themed floors in Carpenter Tower. Salinas downloaded the game the day after it was released. He tried playing it at home, but the Chicago suburbs were not the best for Pokemon catching. “After spending like a month in the suburbs playing it, my interest in the game kind of died down,” Salinas said. “But coming to Milwaukee, I noticed that (the city is) very much full of Pokestops, Gyms and more uncommon Pokemon.” Salinas prefers playing Pokemon on older devices. He recently purchased a Nintendo DS and bonds with a few of his residents over a love for the original game. “Pokemon Go kind of brought (the game) back to my
mind,” Salinas said. “I thought, ‘I kinda miss Pokemon.’” Phil Parisi, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, is the resident assistant for the fourth floor in Carpenter Tower. He has been a Pokemon fan since childhood and downloaded Pokemon Go on the day it came out. “(Pokemon Go) is a good new twist,” Parisi said. “Something that is real-world, that’s out there, (that incorporates) augmented reality.” Augmented reality allows users to interact with a virtual universe without shutting out the real world. Virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift, create an interactive new world for users to experience what exists only inside the headset. AR games such as Pokemon Go blend reality with virtual characters and landmarks, encouraging users to get out and explore instead of disappearing into another dimension. Parisi thinks that future use of
VR will affect people’s willingness to socialize, but likes that AR games encourage users to interact with one another. “I’ve gone Pokemon hunting with friends,” Parisi said. “We’d go around to the downtown area at home, get a portable charger and go. It’s fun.” Despite the encouragement to get fans up and moving, it can be easy to catch creatures and tap into Pokestops while still sitting around. Buildings like the Alumni Memorial Union, McCormick Hall and Raynor Library are either Pokestops or have Pokestops right next to them, and if the app sits open on a phone for long enough, Pokemon characters will appear. Around Milwaukee, the game craze is spurring Pokemon-themed meet-ups and shows, such as the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s “Symphonic Evolutions” concert that will take place at the

Riverside Theater Sept. 30. Attendees are encouraged to join a pre-show meet-up to catch Pokemon around the city. Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra will premiere original arrangements paired with visuals from classic Pokemon games. Websites such as Reddit and meetup.com also draw players from all over the area to discuss the game and get together to catch Pokemon together. With a simple Google search, forums and pages specifically for Milwaukee trainers pop up, encouraging users to get together to hunt for Pokemon. While Pokemon remains a fixture in pop culture, not everyone is on board with it. On Salinas’s floor in Carpenter, the residents tend to be lukewarm about the new game. “Everyone’s into their own thing,” Salinas said. “But no one has come out and said, ‘I’m a huge (Pokemon) nerd.’”
MU Radio’s New Music Monday Revel is a three piece band hailing from Seattle delivering “sad, echoey jams for you” with their new EP, 2002. “2002 is technically a concept EP about the passage of time, nostalgia and of course, existential dread often experienced in your early twenties,” Tessa Rutledge said. With Rutledge on vocals, Schafer on guitar and programming and Bostrom on keyboard, the shoegaze group has a haunting, nostalgic sound with hushed lyrics.

Frugal fun around downtown Milwaukee
Restaurants, stores available to MU students on a budget By Hailey Richards
hailey.richards@marquette.edu
There comes a glorious time in every Marquette student’s life: a day free of schoolwork and impending responsibilities, to get off campus and wander through the streets of Milwaukee. Besides usual stops like Colectivo and the Public Market, here are 6 hole-in the wall gems left off the typical Milwaukee tourism list. These fun and inexpensive places are the perfect getaway for a guilt-free day. Taqueria Los Comales, 1306 S. Cesar E. Chavez Drive An authentic taqueria restaurant lies less than ten minutes away, offering quality tacos at an inexpensive price. At less than ten dollars per meal, Taqueria Los Comales is the restaurant to satisfy cravings for signature Mexican food. Guests can order out or sit inside to enjoy a fresh take on signature Mexican dishes. Retique Store, 190 N. Broadway A mere twenty-minute bus ride from campus, Retique is a non-profit thrift store contender to Goodwill. Retique’s detailed care in regards to the resale of pre-owned clothing makes it a great place to shop.

Retique Store feautures fashionable secondhand clothing, shoes and accesories for style aficionados looking for local, affordable alternatives.
Hannah Koller, a senior in the College of Business Administration, is an avid shopper at Retique. She believes the shop always has something to offer. “You can always find something great at Retique even when you aren’t looking,” Koller said. “Even if you aren’t looking to spend money it’s fun to look around at all the items up for sale.” Daddy’s Soul Food & Grille, 754 N. 27th St. Surrounded by the warm scent of mashed potatoes and fried chicken floating through the air, Daddy’s
Soul Food is a restaurant that emulates the loving atmosphere of a grandparent’s house while serving up delicious comfort food. Ranging from fried chicken to steak and mac and cheese, Daddy’s Soul Food is a great home away from home. Kenyon Mitchell, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, is a fan of Daddy’s Soul Food. “(It’s) amazing and cheap,” Mitchell said. “Marquette students need to invest their time at Daddy’s.” Thursday food trucks at the Milwaukee County Courthouse,
901 N. Ninth St. Just a five-minute walk east on Wells Street from Cobeen Hall, the Milwaukee County Courthouse hosts various food trucks from local restaurants around Milwaukee on Thursdays. The food trucks bring together great varieties of food to city residents. The National Cafe, 839 W. National Ave. National Cafe is a great alternative for those tired of Starbucks, Colectivo or even the on-campus Brew. The cafe offers coffee and
baked goods at inexpensive prices. Its quaint style, ambiance and Pinterest-worthy decorations make it a great place to socialize and spend free time. Glorioso’s Italian Market, 1011 E. Brady St. Glorioso’s Italian Market, located on Milwaukee’s east side, is a Milwaukee landmark that embraces Italian flavor. In an authentic Italian setting, Glorioso’s is a delicious alternative to Marquette dining that serves homemade Italian sausage, as well as fresh mozzarella.
Express Pass to aMUzing Labor Day break Annual downtown scavenger hunt showcases hotspots By Kaitlin Majeski
kaitlin.majeski@marquette.edu
Some underclassmen found themselves with no plans last Friday. A university-sponsored scavenger hunt saved others from their boredom and allowed them to explore the city. The aMUzing Race, part of Marquette Mania, is an annual photo scavenger hunt that takes dorm residents across Milwaukee each Labor Day weekend. Both Marquette Mania and the Golden Eagle Games encourage students to stay in Milwaukee over the long weekend. Winners earn raffle tickets and points for their dorm. Raffle prizes this year included men’s basketball tickets, Bublr Bike subscriptions and food. Lauren Jones, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and president of the Resident Hall Association (RHA), spent nearly three months planning this year’s race. While she was living on campus this summer, she spent upwards of ten hours a week brainstorming and planning for the city-wide scavenger hunt. She worked with other members of RHA to choose sites across Milwaukee that were safe, easily-accessible and well-known by members of the Marquette community. RHA used an application called GooseChase to judge the competition. Teams log in to the application and find a list of places to go and photo challenges at each stop. The judges stay on campus
and watch online for photos to be uploaded. The more creative students are with their poses and the faster they get through the race, the more raffle tickets they earn at the end of the night. “It’s for first-year students to kind of get familiar with the surrounding Milwaukee area,” Jones said. “It’s also to encourage them to reach out to people in their halls and to do something with them over the weekend.” Jacob Pieczynski, a junior in the College of Education and a resident assistant in Mashuda Hall, said that he joined three other RAs and several residents as
Mashuda’s team in the race. He was able to connect with new people in his residence hall. “It was a great opportunity to get to know people I had not met in the building,” Pieczynski said. The number of participants this year was lower than usual. Last year, over 100 students showed up to participate versus approximately 50 this year. Jones attributed the drop in attendance to the Chainsmokers concert near campus that night. More than a dozen students showed up to represent McCormick, with each dressed head-totoe in blue clothes and face paint.

They ran toward check-in together, chanting and waving a homemade banner over their heads. Other teams brought a similar excitement to the table. Troy Humes Jr., a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, showed up to participate with other students from Straz Tower. “Initially I only came because I had nothing better to do,” Humes said. “But when I saw the team’s morale, I got competitive.” McCormick came in second place for the last three years. Their excitement was fueled by their determination to break the record and bring home first place.
Mustafa Anwar, a junior in the College of Health Sciences and resident assistant in McCormick, ran the race with his team. “This race is the kick-off of an amazing effort by our team to win gold in the Golden Eagle Games,” Anwar said. “We’re here to win and stop the second place madness.” McCormick failed to bring home the gold. Mashuda, an underdog in the competition, came out on top. Their strategy was to hit the most valuable locations first. “I think that strategy was the difference in the end,” Pieczynski said.

STAFF EDITORIAL
Develop personal views of Milwaukee to overcome negative rhetoric As the country’s most recent reminder of an overwhelming race issue we face, our city has received national negative attention the past few weeks. Now, when Americans read: “riots,” “violence,” “deadliest,” “shooting,” “problems,” “divide,” we think: “Milwaukee.” These words infiltrate our minds as we scroll through Facebook posts, read emails and click on headlines. These words we use on social media shape attitudes. They paint a picture of our city as a battleground and have connotations that instill fear. Indeed, attention to and conversations about the problem are necessary, but to find real solutions we have the responsibility of changing how we approach the conversation. From the day we arrive at Marquette, we receive countless opportunities to get to know Milwaukee and open our mind to all it has to offer — the good and the bad. Our efforts to explore the city, its new places and faces, can’t stop after freshman orientation, though. This kind of experience and discovery opens our minds to the reality of life for city residents living outside our small campus area, squashing the stereotypes and fears we develop from what we read online. Worried moms and dads on the Marquette parents Facebook page express fears about freshman students coming to Marquette from small towns and describe the city’s violence as “too close for comfort.” News outlets quote people who call our city a “war zone.” The media is undoubtedly powerful in influencing our thoughts and actions — a Nielsen report from June shows Americans spend almost 11 hours per day consuming media — so we have to make a daily conscious decision not to let the negative words shape our attitudes. Here at Marquette, whether or not we’re stuck on our phones and computers all day, we spend 24 hours a day actually living in Milwaukee, experiencing the city that has been under a national magnifying glass the past few weeks. Let’s not forget the advantage we have over family and friends back home, journalists in New York and even politicians

in D.C., to steer the conversation our country is having with words that are instructive and helpful rather than fear-inducing. To identify issues and formulate our own opinions, we must make the effort to explore Milwaukee beyond campus. Make use of your bus pass, explore different neighborhoods, go to shows downtown, wander through Milwaukee School of Engineering’s or UW-Milwaukee’s campuses. See for yourself what you like about our city and what you think its downfalls are – outsiders don’t get to choose how our city is defined. Whether this year is your first or last or 21st living in Milwaukee, find ways to let it influence and discover how you can impact the city positively. We cannot allow the fear that other people associate with our city to paralyze us. Marie Curie said it best: “Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.” Living and learning on an urban campus is an opportunity, and Marquette is located here for a reason. Attending this university gives us the chance to learn about and understand in new ways problems that plague our city and make a difference. As students of a Jesuit school, this is essential for finding solutions. There are problems in
Milwaukee, but we have the power to change the national rhetoric that surrounds them. Recognize the issues, but talk about the city in a productive way. The college experience is about opening our minds to new people, new experiences and new ideas. Get out in the city and form your own opinion; don’t let the negativity on your screens cloud what you believe and discover to be true. We can’t ignore the issues and very real problems on our streets, but we can choose to promote positivity and change in our city.

Lessons from marijuana licensing process flaws Ryan McCarthy The American attitude toward medical cannabis has gone through something of a sea change in the last decade. Today, with 25 states and the District of Columbia offering legal medical marijuana, significant issues in the licensing process are being laid bare. Although the possibility that the Wisconsin legislature passes some kind of marijuana reform legislation anytime soon is unlikely, it is still valuable to examine other states’ failed processes in anticipation that one day Wisconsin too will legalize medical cannabis. Maryland, which recently announced the winners of the growers and processing licenses, revealed a number of flaws in the process. Limited licenses, burdensome regulation and expensive fees all contribute to a system that excludes minorities and small-business owners while insulating politicians and influential individuals from competition. The commission only awarded 15 processing and 15 growing licenses out of a pool of nearly 150 and 124 applicants, respectively. Each license pays a $125,000 fee per year to maintain a grower’s license while it’s $40,000 a year for a dispensary license. Applicants were subjected to extensive background checks and stringent business plan scrutiny. The result speaks for itself. None of the licensed companies are owned by an African American. A number of the winners are major political donors, millionaires and former government officials. In fact, a lot of the security personnel at these facilities are ex-law enforcement. So those traditionally prosecuted for marijuana-related crimes are being excluded but those who made a career out of enforcing
prohibition will profit. Regulations are often great in theory but terrible in practice. For instance, the Maryland Medical Marijuana Commission weighed geographical diversity significantly when choosing winners. At face value this seems good, as it ensures that the industry spreads economic benefit to all parts of the state, even rural counties. What it ended up doing was allowing people with no connections to sparsely populated counties to use them to gain a competitive edge in the licensing process. Political cronyism and gamesmanship are nothing new in Maryland, or any state for that matter. If this process was simply to decide who was first in the door for medical marijuana, then it would probably be effective. The problem is that Maryland is likely going to fully legalize marijuana in the near future. These companies aren’t paying exorbitant fees in order to sell medical marijuana. They want to establish their brand for when marijuana is fully legalized. Essentially, by implementing medical marijuana and remaining on a path toward fully legalizing it, Maryland has created a system that allows rich investors to establish their businesses with a guarantee of very little outside competition. Regulation is generally a good thing. Making sure that every company that sells medical marijuana is properly vetted is a laudable goal. In practice, however, strict regulation and limited license allocation excludes minority and small-business owners from participating in this burgeoning new industry. If politicians want to create a heavily regulated industry, they must work to ensure inclusivity. Ryan McCarthy is a senior studying journalism.

Most weekday mornings, after a long stretch and a motivational inner monologue, I shuffle from my bedroom to my kitchen to make myself breakfast. Afterwards, I take a multivitamin and an iron supplement, I step out for a short jog, I shower, I hydrate. Lather, rinse, repeat. My day-to-day is not glamorous — nobody writes songs about toothpaste, or screenplays about B vitamins — but I do these things because my parents taught me these are the things people do to stay physically healthy. What I was never taught, however, was how to be responsible for my mental health. I don’t resent my upbringing for missing this critical lesson, but I do wonder why it was a chapter decidedly skipped over. Was it that no one wanted to talk about it, or just that no one knew how? I can’t say mental health was never discussed, we spoke briefly of it in high school health class. I remember because I gave a presentation on schizophrenia and used “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty as the background music. It seemed like a joke then, and has remained a punch line since. The lack of serious conversation around the topic has left me navigating my mental fitness like a tourist from a rural town navigates New York City — walking the wrong way through busy crowds and asking strangers to hold my camera as I pose in a way that suggests this was exactly where I wanted to be anyway. And from what I can tell, this narrative is shared by many people my age. I think because we are young, issues we encounter with mental health are often excused as evanescent, and therefore not something to be taken seriously. We’re made to feel trivial — like our mountains are molehills. No 20-something wants to be seen as trivial. We want to radiate capability, we want to be complimented on our handshakes and we don’t want to beg to be taken seriously. And I think this exchange leads a lot of college students to a “suck it up

and rub some dirt in it” mentality. Mental health advocacy groups are quick to condemn campuses as breeding grounds for mental illness, but while the objective is admirable, blaming university administration completely misses the mark. Universities aren’t apathetic to the needs of their students, and most campuses offer professional resources, Marquette included, with its Counseling Center and Center for Psychological Services. Mental health is a personal obligation. The root of the issue isn’t a lack of resources or a lack of education, it’s a lack of encouragement. People are apprehensive about utilizing university resources for a litany of reasons, but a common thread is stigma. Mental illness has a way of becoming a person’s identity, and when we’re this young and still trying to learn what our identities are, we don’t want to tie ourselves down to such a pejorative one. A 2012 study by the National Alliance on Mental Illness reported “Sixty-four percent of students who experience mental health problems in college and withdraw from school do so because of their mental health issues.” Of that 64, half never seek out university resources, though 70 percent of students surveyed would rate their campus resources as “good” or “excellent.” Instead of condemning university administration, we need to encourage students to respect their needs and to give back to themselves. We need to alter the connotation of mental health. Students should feel encouraged to explore their options. Students must reach out and utilize a fantastic option the university offers, but also respect themselves enough to follow through. Simply, we need to make it easier for students to respect themselves. Author Joan Didion says it best, “… to give us back to ourselves — there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. Without it, one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home.” Morgan Hughes is a junior studying journalism and political science.

Abby Vakulskas Feeling the need to be more involved in my community and gain some experience, I volunteered over the summer at a local homeless shelter in my hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota. Though it’s probably something I should be doing regularly and should have started years ago, I had been avoiding it for a long time. The reason? I was afraid of the homeless — a silly but very common fear that I was finally forcing myself to confront. Considering Milwaukee has over 1,500 people without shelter, it’s important for Marquette students to confront anxiety regarding the homeless and not turn a blind eye to the problem. Unease around those living on the streets is overwhelmingly common. Often we choose to distance ourselves from the hardships that others in our community face because we cannot fully understand or relate to their situation. It is easy to feel removed from the issues while those suffering walk to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, and you to the library. For many, safety remains a huge concern. With the knowledge that crime exists on campus, there is a tendency to put your safety at the forefront of the conversation, disregarding that the homeless are not inherently criminal. As a small, 5-foot-2 female myself, I get it: being approached by strangers automatically sets off alarms. However, these are regular people struggling with many underlying obstacles. The National Coalition for the Homeless cites mental illness as the third largest cause of homelessness, right after inadequate income and housing. It’s a vicious cycle — low income deprives many of them of the healthcare they need, perhaps preventing them from maintaining mental stability and in turn decreasing any chance of decent employment. This is not to say every person in a shelter is suffering from mental illness, but even among those who do have jobs, some find it

impossible for their income to cover housing, food, clothing and other necessary costs. Working at the shelter, I checked the clients in at the front desk, helped oversee the showers and did other small tasks. One of the employees became my role model for the way she approached the clients. She greeted each person with a genuine smile, saying things like, “Well hello, young man! How are we this morning?” or “Hi, pretty lady! We missed you on Friday!” She knew most of them by name and treated them no differently than if they were her own friends and family. I tried to mirror her, chatting with the people, talking to them about their day, and gradually becoming more comfortable with them. I began to see them not as nameless, vaguely threatening strangers, but fellow humans with stories, feelings and personalities. The vast majority were kind, grateful and always polite to me.
During lunch one day, I watched as each person received food and thanked the volunteers. I thought that if everyone came in here and saw this, no one could possibly be afraid. Though perhaps not realistic, it would at least be a start. Distance and avoidance make it impossible to improve a community. If you’re uncomfortable giving money, direct them to a shelter like The Gathering (right next to Straz Tower), where they can receive food and assistance. The best advice I’ve received at Marquette is to, at the very least, acknowledge the homeless and regard them with dignity. Treat them as you would a normal person. If you open that door, understanding and community strength will eventually follow suit.

Freshman Jan Maertins scored his first goal as a Golden Eagle against Northern Illinois. He’s started at the striker position in all four of Marquette’s games this season.
Maertins brings European experience German striker spent time in FC Basel’s academy By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
When a European power like FC Basel calls, you make arrangements. Jan Maertins was 14 years old when Basel, winners of the Swiss Super League the last three years, brought him into their academy. The move meant Maertins had to travel an extra
hour on public transportation from the border city of Rheinfelden, Germany, his hometown, to show off his talents. The decision paid off for Maertins, as he won a Swiss title and two Swiss Cups with Basel. He played against programs like Barcelona and many of the best the Bundesliga has to offer. “It was a great experience,” Maertins said. “That helped me develop a lot, mental, physical and technical. … We were a good team.” However, everything wasn’t perfect. He started to check out his other soccer options while with Basel’s U-18 team,
realizing there wasn’t space with older players getting most of the playing time. He opted to travel again, but this time, he’d be a bit more than an hour away. Maertins was intrigued by the idea of college soccer, since there aren’t many situations where you can play at a high level while getting an education in Europe. It helped that he’d been taking mandatory English lessons in high school, which made the transition less daunting. He talked to six or seven college coaches, but Marquette stood out. Bennett, who met Maertins at a showcase, told
him he had no interest in recruiting another striker if Maertins came to Milwaukee. Maertins found a spot where he’d be with a coach he trusted and on a team where he’d likely get early playing time. So far, it’s looking like Bennett reeled in a much-needed offensive addition. Like most of his counterparts, Maertins had a quiet game in the team’s 4-0 season opening loss against Kentucky, missing the net on his only shot on goal. He’s settled down since, shaking off the freshman nerves. He scored his first goal at Marquette against Northern Illinois,
then found the net again on a shot from the middle of the box against Illinois-Chicago. “Jan has played some clutch goals,” Bennett said. “Running in the near post, he’s a handful. He has a tendency to be a little emotional at times, but he’s capping that.” As for playing time, that doesn’t seem to be an issue either. He’s started all three games and based on his play, that’s not likely to change any time soon. “I’m pretty strict with myself,” Maertins said. “I want to play and I’m working hard for that.”
BIG EAST women’s soccer struggling early Grant Becker When the 2016 women’s soccer season kicked off, there were three BIG EAST teams favored to make the NCAA tournament. Now, as we enter week four of the season, only one BIG EAST team can feel confident about their non-conference results. Georgetown was selected as the unanimous favorite to win the BIG EAST and they’ve backed
it up with results. The Hoyas are 4—1 this season with an overtime win over No. 12/7 Rutgers. Their only loss was at the hands of No. 2/1 Stanford. DePaul and Marquette were picked to finish second and third in the conference, respectively. Both teams started the season with mixed results, but the Blue Demons have seriously missed the mark. DePaul was expected to challenge for a BIG EAST title and a fourth consecutive national tournament appearance, but the Blue Demons earned their first and only win of the season Sunday against a
winless Army side. You can excuse DePaul’s loss to undefeated and No. 24 Northwestern and their draw to Hofstra, who is receiving votes in the poll, but a loss to William & Mary and a draw against Fordham are huge missed opportunities to earn wins on a short non-conference slate. Marquette owns a less than stellar 2-3-1 record, but their schedule has been brutal. After opening the season with a pair of road losses to Kansas and Nebraska, the Golden Eagles bounced back with a pair of wins on the road at Illinois State and at home against Michigan.
While those four games were plenty difficult to open the season with, things got even trickier. Marquette went to California last week for back-to-back games against nationally ranked opponents in No. 22/20 Santa Clara and No. 2/1 Stanford. The Golden Eagles did manage to earn a draw at Santa Clara, but despite solid play throughout the non-conference slate, they still have a losing record. Marquette and DePaul each have an opportunity to improve their resume with away games at No. 24 Northwestern and LBSU, who
received votes in the NCAA poll this past week. Outside the top three, only St. John’s has managed to surprise. The Red Storm are 4-0-2 and have given up just two goals this season. They have their first litmus test when they take on Washington Friday night. There’s still time for the BIG EAST to turn things around before conference play starts later this month, but the margin for error is slim. Grant Becker is a senior studying Journalism.

Get to know the MUBB Opponents: Vanderbilt Vandy faces loss of two first-round picks, new coach By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
This is the second in a 12part series about Marquette’s non-conference opponents. The Golden Eagles open the season with fanfare. In addition to Marquette landing the prime time slot at the Veterans Classic, the team also faces the first of three 2015’16 tournament teams on its non-conference schedule, Vanderbilt. 2015-’16 record: 19-14 Final Kenpom ranking: 31 Game time: Nov. 11 at 5:30 p.m. Analysis: This season is a rebuilding year for the Vanderbilt Commodores. The team needs to replace two first-round draft talents, Wade Baldwin IV, now with the Memphis Grizzlies, and Damian Jones, who was drafted with the 30th pick by Golden State. The fact that the Commodores just barely snuck into the tournament last year with those two doesn’t bode well for 2016-’17.

Marquette will play Vanderbilt in prime time at the Veterans Classic in Annapolis, Maryland. The game marks the debut of coach Bryce Drew.
Their leading returning scorer is 6-foot-5 guard Matthew Fisher-Davis, one of the top three-point shooters in the SEC. He shot 46 percent from three last year and led SEC freshmen in three point shooting the year prior. Senior forward Luke Kornet is thought of as Vandy’s best defender, blocking 84 shots last season. He set a new season high for average points in 2015-’16 (8.9) but took a big step back from three-point range. He followed up a sophomore season where he shot 40
percent from long range with a 28 percent success rate last year. Vanderbilt also gains fourstar combo guard Payton Willis, a 6-foot-4 shooter who slid up the recruiting rankings last year. That trio fits into the prototypical mold of the tall Commodore roster, which may pose a challenge for the Golden Eagles due to the lack of size they’ll see from Rockhurst in their scrimmage. Kornet is the team’s only 7-footer, but Vanderbilt has four players
who can play guard taller than 6-foot-4. Across from Kornet at the other forward position will be Jeff Roberson, who averaged 9.3 points per game. The on-court personnel isn’t the only change for Vanderbilt from last season. Wojciechowski will likely check out some Valparaiso game film to prepare, as the Veterans Classic will be the debut of new Vanderbilt head coach Bryce Drew. Valpo had winning records in all five seasons he was
at the helm. He left the program after going 124-49, earning two NCAA Tournament berths and a trip to the NIT final in 2015-’16. Kevin Stallings, who led Vanderbilt to a first-four trip in last year’s tournament, left to take the head coaching job at University of Pittsburgh. Overall, Vanderbilt has a lot working against it — a new coach, a new system and new players in star roles. Marquette catching the Commodores in their first game of the season could make for a sloppy outing from Vandy.

WIAA champ transitions to college Two-mile winner adjusting to 8K college distance By Brendan Ploen
Jack Goods
brendan.ploen@marquette.edu
As Marquette’s season gets underway this weekend, Daniel Pederson is preparing for his first race after a summer filled with success. In June, Pederson won the WIAA state title in the two-mile race and was the runner-up in the one-mile race. On top of that, Pederson is an elite cross-country skier and has won numerous events in the sport. The twotime Section 1 Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association Runner of the Year has the pedigree to impress. For Pederson, it is not about how he finished in June. It is about how he starts in September. “I just want to get a good time that I can shoot for it again, and hopefully break through it again,” Pederson said. “I want to get used to the 8K because I’ve never really ran it before, so it will be interesting. I’ll definitely find out a lot about myself from running the 8K at the collegiate level.” Pederson had to adjust to the collegiate running schedule, which he says is a lot more demanding than his schedule in high school. Coach Mike Nelson said the team typically runs 6-10 miles per day not including warm-ups and cool-downs, which can be another four to five miles. Nelson eased the four freshmen into their regimen, slowly but surely having them pick up the pace and practice expectations.

Freshman Daniel Pederson, a native of Spooner, Wisconsin, is also an accomplished cross-country skiier.
Nelson understands it is a challenge, but also realizes that it can benefit certain runners. “It is challenging, for sure,” Nelson said. “High school is a 5K race, while at college it is 8K, so it is quite a step up from the high school level.” “It really depends on the individual. Some guys really take to that longer distance, and the further they go, it’s like the stronger they become as a runner. Mentally too, they have to become more comfortable with being on the racecourse for a longer period of time.” Pederson has already gotten a good sense of the camaraderie that comes with running for an elite Division I program. A few weeks ago, the Marquette squad went to Devils Lake State Park, Wisconsin to camp, bond as a
team and run the trails. “It was great getting to know the guys on the camping trip,” Pederson said. “It’s really helpful because I know these guys at the college level before I even started college and stepped onto campus. At freshman orientation, I already knew a good amount of people because of the camping trip. I made friends and quickly developed a support group.” Although he has a state championship to his name, Pederson knows that he has to start back at the bottom of the totem pole, where he will have to race his way back to the top. “It would be easy to burn yourself out because you are trying to run 60-70 miles per week like the upperclassmen are doing,” said Pederson.
“However, it helps you realize how hungry we are to try and be like them and run with the best. Because later on this season, next spring, and even next season, that’s when we’d hit the workouts hard and perform really well.” Pederson says his teammates are ready for the season to start, and are eager to show what they’re made off. When the gun goes off this Saturday at the Midwest Open in Kenosha, he knows at the end of the day things aren’t that different. All he has to do is run. “Coach Nelson told me to run my race, and it definitely fostered a self-analysis of what my goal is for Saturday,” Pederson said. “We’ve been training hard, and I just want to start this season off on the right foot.”
Player of the Week Luka Prpa Luka Prpa continued his strong start to the season Friday, scoring two goals and two assists for the second game in a row in the Golden Eagles’ 4-1 victory against Illinois-Chicago. He continued his dominance Monday, scoring a goal and an assist against Northwestern. He was named to College Soccer News’s weekly National Team of the Week and was chosen as the BIG EAST’s Offensive Player and Freshman of the Week.

Last spring I wrote a story featuring incoming soccer freshman Luka Prpa, the highest-ranked recruit in program history. The story was titled “Luka Prpa could be the next Marquette soccer star.” Let me revise that now. Luka Prpa IS the next Marquette soccer star. The freshman phenom has five goals and five assists this season, good for 15 points in college soccer’s unusual point system. His back-to-back two goal and two assist outings against Northern Illinois and Illinois-Chicago is a feat no other Marquette player has ever accomplished. He’s already surpassed the scoring output of everyone on the 2015 team besides leading scorer Kelmend Islami. He was tied for third in the country in goals scored going into Monday. To put things in perspective, he’s already passed the star player who held his position previously, Louis Bennett II’s, career season-high after just four games. Even when he doesn’t score, you can sense his awareness. Head coach Louis Bennett called him a 360 player, someone who sees the field from all angles. He’s not just a finisher, but a facilitator too. He’s involved in nearly every play, taking the team’s free kicks, corners and penalty shots. The amazing thing about Prpa is that you’d never know how good he is by talking to him. He’s quiet, modest. He credits his teammates and the chemistry they’ve built for his success. Bennett’s favorite story early this season was how Prpa introduced himself to his teammates. Prpa listed off the local clubs he’s played for, including Chicago Magic PSG and North Shore United, and how he’s lived in Florida the past two years. He glosses over the last stop, but Prpa wasn’t in Florida just to catch some rays. He was in residency with the U.S. National team. “It’s that kind of humility that goes along with Luka Prpa,” Bennett said. He can be modest about his talent and accolades, but word is getting out. Monday he was named to College Soccer News’s National Team of the Week and the BIG EAST’s Freshman and Offensive Player of the Week. No matter how the season goes with this young team, Prpa gives fans plenty of reason to make the trek down to Valley Fields. With how he’s playing, the real question is whether they’ll be able to do so for four years. Jack Goods is a senior studying Journalism. He is reachable at jack.goods@marquette.edu

MSOC continues offensive dominace
MU win marks third straight four-goal outing By Brendan Ploen
brendan.ploen@marquette.edu
Marquette used three second half goals, including two with ten men, to beat Northwestern 4-1 in the Golden Eagles’ third straight victory. It’s the first time Marquette has won three straight since 2014. The Golden Eagles’ ability to posses the ball during long stretches of play ultimately became a key factor throughout the first half. Marquette took the lead in the 18th minute, when Martin Alba received a ball from a throw-in and crossed it to Toby Howell, who headed it in to the back of the net for his second goal in two games. “It makes my job a lot easier, especially with midfielders like Luka (Prpa) and Connor (Alba), they always seem to see you,” Howell said. “I know they will find me in the box, and it makes my job a lot easier because I just have to make the run, and the ball will be there.” In the second half, Marquette continued to control possession and the match. The Golden Eagles scored again in the 49th minute when Prpa flicked
a ball for Howell, who then crossed it into Diego Nunez who volleyed it home to give Marquette a 2-0 lead. The Golden Eagles seemed in control until the 73rd minute, when senior goalkeeper Mac Wheeler received a red card for a slide tackle on Northwestern forward Elo Ozumba. After a five-minute delay and conference between both teams, Wheeler walked off the pitch and was replaced by Wicho Barraza. Jeffrey Hopson converted the penalty kick to make it 2-1. The next ten minutes were a challenge, as Northwestern pressed high up the field but were unable to find the back of the net. In the 85th minute Ben Tweedie eased tension with the first goal of his career. His first shot was blocked, but he curled the rebound into the bottom left corner of the net to give Marquette a commanding 3-1 lead. However, head coach Louis Bennett’s men were not finished. One minute later, Prpa scored once again to make it 4-1, netting his fifth goal of the season on a counter-attack that sealed the deal. Bennett was pleased with how they handled being down a man and ending the match in style. “I enjoy coaching guys with big hearts and people like watching guys with big hearts,” Bennett said. “Today I thought there was a little bit of chaos when the

goalkeeper was sent off and we had to restructure, but the quality of the two goals after that was phenomenal.” “Coach likes to say that ‘there is
no magic sauce, there is no magic dust’ or anything,” said Howell. “You just go out there, do the same things we’ve been practicing, and the goals will come, and
they’ve certainly been coming.” Marquette will go for its fourth straight victory when they kick off on the road at Saint Louis Saturday.
