Grant to fund nursing center Midwifery program set up to combat infant mortality rate By Katie Doherty kathleen.doherty@marquette.edu

The federal government awarded the Marquette Neighborhood Health Center a five-year, $1.5 million grant to fight high infant mortality rates in the area with the founding of a nurse-midwifery practice and a breast-feeding support program for at-risk women. According to the 2010 City of Milwaukee Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) Report, black infants were nearly three times more likely to die than white infants in Milwaukee from 2005 to 2008. “In Milwaukee, these deaths

are concentrated in a few zip codes, where unsurprisingly the levels of poverty, joblessness and other social problems are also extremely high,” according to the report. The 53233 zip code, which includes Marquette’s campus, was one of the three zip codes with the highest density of infant mortality in Milwaukee. “Our hope is that by creating … a place where women in our community feel comfortable, they will seek care sooner,” said Margaret Faut Callahan, dean of the College of Nursing. Callahan said research shows two areas of patient care the center will focus on can make a difference in infant mortality is prenatal care and “pregnancy centering care,” which deals with the patient and her ability to care

Johnson talks with Gousha Freshman senator from Wisconsin hits out at Congress

Thurs., Sept. 29 Between 11:19 a.m.and 11:37 a.m. an employee reported a person not affiliated with Marquette prowling in Johnston Hall.

By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-WI, summed up his experience with the national government thus far with one phrase: “It’s as bad as I thought.” Johnson, a freshman senator and member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, went “On the Issues” Thursday with Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow of law and public policy at the Marquette’s law school. Talks of cooperation within the government and its effectiveness dominated the discussion between Gousha and the senator. Johnson was critical of Congress’s ability to compromise, as well as many of President Obama’s decisions. Johnson added that he understands why Americans lack confidence in Congress. “I think that they are accurate (in thinking that way),” Johnson said. “Just look at the handling of the debt ceiling.” When asked about his thoughts on compromise and cooperation within Congress, Johnson responded by saying that he was willing to work with both sides of the aisle. “I’ve always said that I am willing to work with anybody who is willing to seriously address these issues,” Johnson said. “In the end, Democrats aren’t going to go away and Republicans aren’t going to go away. We have to work together to solve these problems.” President Obama’s effectiveness and leadership ability were also discussed. Johnson was critical of the president and said that while he has done good job in some areas — such as continuing Bush’s policies on the War on Terror — others, like business regulation, are in need of improvement. He also said there are a large amount of regulations being imposed on small businesses, and that government is moving toward overregulation of the economy.

Johnson talked about politics and veterans at his campus appearance.

Gousha asked about Johnson’s thoughts regarding current Republican presidential candidates. Johnson said that he would like to see other Republican candidates put out a concrete economic plan. “I certainly wish there was a clear choice, one that we could all rally around,” Johnson said. “But politics is a messy process.” After the discussion with Gousha, Johnson fielded questions from the audience about a range of topics. One audience member asked about Johnson’s views on what should be done about retiring veterans. “We need to support these young men and women as long as they need our support, both in terms of when we recruit them and train them,” Johnson said. “We need to continue to support them when they come back.” Johnson was also questioned about his stance on education — both nationwide and in Wisconsin — and how he thought it should be changed. Johnson stressed the importance of education and

ways the business community can help. “I certainly understand how vitally important education is to a community,” he said. “We need to go back to the basics in terms of academics as well as life skills.” Audience reactions were mixed about Johnson’s responses to the various questions. Larry Kress, an audience member, asked Johnson about his thoughts regarding how America’s current financial situation compares to certain times in European financial history. “He couldn’t give much of an answer,” Kress said. “I was hoping to get an opinion out of him, but he didn’t really give me that.” Others thought that Johnson answered most questions to the best of his ability. “I thought the answers were very polite, but very accurate,” Jim Konowalski, another audience member, said. “I think he said what he really believes, and I think that majority of people feel the same way.”

Majority of Christians having premarital sex Study finds young Christians ignore abstinence teaching By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

A study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy determined 88 percent of unmarried Christians ages 18 to 29 have had sex, despite the general push for abstinence in most Christian denominations. But while these statistics may seem shocking, some are casting doubt on their accuracy and meaning for Christianity. The study also found 64 percent of those surveyed have been sexually active in the last year, while 42 percent are in a current sexual relationship. The study was published in RELEVANT Magazine, a Catholic news magazine, which devoted a three-page spread to the findings in their September/October issue.

Marquette students and faculty had various reactions to the statistics and overall concept of the study. John Haugland, a sophomore in the College of Engineering and practicing Catholic, thought the studies were drastic misconceptions. “If you look at this campus you would find that the majority of the students will identify as Christian, but how many are actually practicing?” Haugland said. “The study may be more applicable if this was distinguished.” Haugland said he believes the study generalized the Christian population. “If you are true to your beliefs and are truly practicing, you will abide by what the faith says,” Haugland said. “People choose to practice their religion either fully or partially – this may be a part that some Christians dismiss.” The Rev. Thomas Anderson, associate director of Campus Ministry, said he did not find the report surprising. “I believe most teenagers are at that stage of life when they may

begin to move from a nominal adherence to a more personal appropriation,” Anderson said in an email. Susan Mountin, director for faculty for the Manresa Project and former campus minister at Marquette from 1978 to 2001, was responsible for the marriage preparation program and worked with pregnant students or those who had abortions while attending Marquette. “Believe me, students were sexually active at Marquette,” Mountin said in an email. “I cannot imagine there are fewer students who are sexually active now ten years later … society has made sexual activity a very casual thing.” Mountin said she found that students generally engaged in sexual activities for what she called “the wrong reasons.” “I also hope we can have more free and open conversations about this topic at Marquette,” Mountin said. “Sometimes there is a lot of ‘experimenting’ that goes on with relationships in college.”

Sexual harrassment talk heard by MUSG MUSG president to talk with university on advising process By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

Marquette Student Government’s meeting Thursday opened with a presentation on behalf of Sexual Violence and Advocacy Services through Student Health Services. Sue Cooper, coordinator of Sexual Violence and Advocacy Services, and Chris Daood, assistant director of the Counseling Center, led the discussion. The university believes that all students should be exposed to the sexual assault learning programs and presentations in reaction to the negative media attention surrounding campus last spring, Daood said. Some members of the class of 2015 have taken the 75-minute “Student Success,” an online sexual assault awareness program. “We are especially targeting firstyear students because that provides a longevity of information and awareness on our campus,” Daood said. Marquette’s steps to combat sexual assault on campus seem advanced, Cooper said. “We found that we are extremely ahead of other institutions regarding

policy and procedure,” Cooper said. To inform students, Student Success educates students through video clips and statistically-based powerpoint slides, Cooper said. But many students, like Jenna Wallander, a sophomore in the College of Nursing, feel that the online program is an unrealistic portrayal of certain situations. Cooper and Daood acknowledged the backlash regarding these depictions, and said they wish more students would make an effort to critique the program for future improvements. To close the presentation, Cooper and Daood cited the Department of Public Safety as a campus-wide resource to either report crimes or receive mentoring for sexual assault victims on campus. However, Cooper said that once students report a sexual assault to DPS, the department is lawfully obliged to tell the Milwaukee Police Department. Should victims of sexual assault wish to discuss their experience, Cooper said Marquette offers confidential resources such as Campus Ministry, Campus Hall Ministers in the dormitories and the Sexual Assault Treatment Center at the Aurora Sinai hospital. Although confidential sources may be preferred for many victims of sexual assault, Cooper

and Daood urge students to report crimes to DPS. Issues with academic advising were also discussed at the meeting. MUSG President Joey Ciccone, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said discussions regarding advising are still under way. “I know a lot of students have been unhappy with the advising situation on campus,” Ciccone said. Ciccone plans on meeting with former associate provost for faculty development the Rev. John Fitzgibbons to discuss advising and address students’ worries regarding the issue. Ciccone also announced that the university and MUSG are in discussion with the Wisconsin state government regarding a ruling on the eligibility of out-of-state voters. In the future, out-of-state voters may be able to use Marquette identification along with a proper signature and other government forms as sufficient evidence for voting. The ruling is still developing, he said. Sterling Hardaway, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences on the Student Organizations Committee, said that in the coming weeks, MUSG’s goal is to have every student organization on campus create a website separate from the university’s. Hardaway said the program will hopefully be ready by this spring.

MUSG EVENTS

President Joey Ciccone said all senate seats have now been filled. Katie Simoncic, a senior in the College of Communication, was elected as the new president pro tempore of MUSG. Evan Umpir, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, was unanimously elected as the Residential Budget Committee member on the platform of spending Marquette students’ money “most efficiently.” Mallory Daily, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Natasha Hansen, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, were elected to serve on the Residential Student Organization Funding Committee. The VOID Lip-sync applications are due Oct. 14 to the MUSG office in the Alumni Memorial Union.

Local leaders work towards improved education Marquette part of ongoing talks on Milwaukee schools By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

Local leaders in business, education and philanthropy have joined together to improve the educational outlook for Milwaukee children in pre-K through high school, whether they attend public, private, choice or charter schools. The Greater Milwaukee Foundation recently announced its “cradle to career” initiative, called “Milwaukee Succeeds.” The community foundation has been spearheading the educational effort since early 2011. “Education is the most important factor that is going to change the cycle of poverty in Milwaukee,” said Rob Guilbert, vice president of marketing and communications at the foundation. Though the initiative is still in its infancy, Guilbert said its long-term goals include ensuring all children are prepared to enter school and succeed academically, graduate high school ready to enter college or the workforce and use post-secondary education or training to help

them succeed after high school. Guilbert also said the program is designed to aid children outside of the classroom and make sure they are healthy, supported socially and emotionally and contribute responsibly to the Milwaukee community. “The final goal is huge for us, because (a lack of health and safety) makes it difficult to combat the other issues,” he said. Milwaukee Succeeds brings together a partnership of 40 local organizations led by John Schlifske, CEO of Northwestern Mutual; Michael Lovell, chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; and Jackie Herd-Barber, Greater Milwaukee Foundation board member and civic volunteer, Guilbert said. As a major part of the Milwaukee community, representatives from Marquette were asked to attend the meetings. Bill Henk, dean of the College of Education; Tricia Geraghty, vice president of marketing and communication; and Howard Fuller, director of the Institute for the Transformation of Learning represented Marquette. Henk said the forum in which the future of education is discussed was a real positive in his eyes. “I love the mission of this initiative: ‘Let’s leave our own personal

ideologies or politics at the door and focus on the education of the children,’” Henk said. Lovell said representatives from the different educational groups had not previously communicated well as a whole. Through this initiative, institutions including the Milwaukee Area Technical College, the United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Milwaukee Public Schools now meet as a group to discuss shortcomings of Milwaukee education. Lovell said the group setting eliminates finger-pointing and allows members of Milwaukee Succeeds to develop a plan to reach the goals of the program, which include retention and educational Photo by Amanda Frank/amanda.frank@marquette.edu attainment for every student in MilMilwaukee Succeeds is aimed at creating city-wide dialogue on education. waukee. “We know there are problems, education system. but we don’t know where they UW-Milwaukee.

Marquette senior speaks for those too young to Student elected youth chair of national nonprofit By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

Taylor Trovillion, a senior in the College of Communication, has dedicated much of her life to working to raise awareness for premature birth rates and caring for birth defects. Her hard work and advocate efforts paid off as she was recently elected chair of the March of Dimes National Youth Council. March of Dimes is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of birth defects, premature births and infant mortality. Its National Youth Council is comprised of 19 collegiate volunteers from across

the country. Trovillion first got involved with March of Dimes in high school, and her participation has carried over to college. The organization’s mission is especially personal to Trovillion, as she was born premature with a hole in her heart. She had to remain in the hospital for a month to recover. According to the 2010 Milwaukee Health Department’s Fetal Infant Mortality Review, covering 2005-2008, 53.7 percent of all infant deaths in Milwaukee were attributed to complications of prematurity. According to Scott Welak, neonatologist for Children’s Hospital, Trovillion was one of the lucky ones. He said some premature babies can develop chronic lung diseases or may require medications to help with breathing. Welak also said there is a 40 to 50

percent chance that premature babies will have a neurological deficit, ranging from learning disabilities to problems with vision or digesting food, which can lead to infant mortality. He said only about 55 percent of extremely premature babies make it home. Despite the odds, Trovillion has gone on to achieve much. In spring 2011, she participated in the Les Aspin for Government program in Washington, D.C., where she worked for Sen. Tom Harkin, D-IA, the chairman of the health, education, labor and pensions committee. With a minor in political science, Trovillion said although she currently has no plans to run for public office, she plans to work on mayoral campaigns in her hometown of San Diego once she graduates in May. Aside from March of Dimes, Trovillion has participated in other

forms of philanthropy at Marquette. She has worked with Circle K, a service organization, and hosted a fundraiser with the Interfraternity Council for prematurity awareness month. As part of her Youth Council duties, she was able to travel to the White House last March in promotion of “Let’s Move!,” First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign. Alison Hauser, associate director of youth leadership for March of Dimes, recognizes Trovillion’s leadership ability. “Taylor was elected by her peers,” Hauser said. “They chose her because of her dedication and passion for March of Dimes. She was chosen to lead at the national level because of her leadership qualities and longstanding commitment to the mission.” Trovillion said she was moved by

the council’s decision to elect her chair. “I think I was mostly humbled by the confidence my peers had for me serving as the nation’s top youth volunteer,” she said. “I am also incredibly grateful to Marquette, who has allowed me to carry my work to campus, and has been more than willing to allow me to attend meetings all across the country.” Without being able to attend those meetings, she would not have the skills that allow her to serve. In her spare time, Trovillion is involved in the Pi Beta Phi sorority and says while she does get tired, she easily finds energy. “I find motivation from the kids I work with … they volunteer out of the goodness of their hearts,” Trovillion said. “They don’t have to volunteer, but they take the time to do it.”

Prime time pretends sexism only in the past

Bridget Gamble When I say “empowered women,” you think Playboy Bunnies, right? Sounds laughable, but that’s what the producers and cast of NBC’s new series “The Playboy Club” are arguing. The series, based on the flagship Playboy Club that opened in Chicago in 1960, debuted earlier last month and began receiving criticism even before airing its pilot episode. Why the ambitious claim? Because in the first episode, the show’s heroine Maureen, played by Amber Heard, kills her attempted rapist by stabbing him in the jugular with a stiletto heel. Marilyn Miller, a former Bunny from the Chicago club, gave an interview with Vanity Fair after watching the pilot episode and said not even a fraction of that type of action ever went down at the Club. Miller also said she thought the show was “cheap” and “degrading,” its only saving grace being the historically accurate set. Intellectuals like M.C. Bodden, an associate professor of women’s and gender studies at Marquette, identified the show as an example of “the aestheticization of women’s subordination to men and sexual titillation.”

“It is pure television mediation strategy,” Bodden said. “Find a number of beautiful women actors, find historically accurate set designs, use visually arresting colors so that we don’t notice the lack of any serious examination of the unethical treatment of women.” In other words, the show draws on nostalgia to make issues of “the past” seem digestible and to show the progress we’ve made since then — a method mirrored by AMC’s “Mad Men” and ABC’s “Pan Am.” But we may be forgetting something: Sexism isn’t just part of the past. Back then women were exploited in Playboy Clubs; now it happens at the Playboy Mansion, among other places. For more than half of the 20th century, women’s labor rights were highly restricted; now we can work wherever we want, but still receive less pay than men. The trouble with “The Playboy Club” is the skewed definition of empowerment that it gives us. A woman who has to kill her rapist to save herself is not empowered; she’s a victim of sexual violence. The show also embellishes the conflict between Bunnies and club keyholders, attempting to convince us that modern-day women have bypassed customary sexual harassment in the workplace and now have the same neutral experience as everyone else. Sure, it’s just a show, but it’s set in a real place and in a decade that few of us were around for, so we believe what we see,

even though what we see is fiction. “Now my son thinks some of these things happened,” Miller said of the rape and murder case from the first episode. And that’s a disservice to those who once had connections to the actual Playboy Club, Bunnies and keyholders alike. NBC is looking to cancel “The Playboy Club,” to the surprise and chagrin of few. I doubt producers will give up on the sentimental ‘60s; “Mad Men” cleaned up at the Emmys and has an enormous fan base. But

“Mad Men” has something “The Playboy Club” never did: authenticity. So I hope when the next “Mad Men” knock-off airs, we’ll be able to note the difference between past and present, fact and fiction and empowerment and subordination. It’s still not an easy line to draw, which says only one thing: we haven’t come as far as we think we have. bridget.gamble@marquette.edu

Are we stranded in a food desert? Searching for healthier food options near MU By Zach Buchheit zachary.buchheit@marquette.edu

While approaching a stoplight in her car one day, Martha DavisKipcak noticed an interesting bumper sticker on the vehicle in front of her. She still remembers the 12-word phrase because it seemed so representative of the system she fights every day. “If you are what you eat, you are fast, cheap and easy.” The provocative slogan illustrates the gradual but alarming change in how this country eats. While meals cooked in the home and eaten around a table with family were once an everyday occurrence in most households, today many families rely on what is convenient. Convenient food means no time wasted behind a stove. It means gas stations and drive-throughs and effort spent only on time behind a steering wheel or in line for the next available cashier. Americans are settling for their meals and tipping the scales because of it. According to the fifth annual “F as in Fat” report, published in 2011 by Trust for America’s Health (TFAH), adult obesity rates have increased in 16 states in the past year, and 12 states report at least a 30 percent obesity rate, a number exceeded by only one state four years ago.

Though Wisconsin straddles the line as the nation’s 25th most obese state at 27.4 percent, the number has increased by 67 percent over the last 15 years. In total, over two-thirds of American adults and nearly onethird of children are overweight or obese. That’s something DavisKipcak seeks to change. “We are getting lazy as a society,” said Davis-Kipcak, food program manager for the Center for Resilient Cities. The Center is a Milwaukee nonprofit dedicated to bringing public and private resources together to help underserved communities thrive. “There is a lack of literacy surrounding how we feed ourselves,” she said.

STATS

The findings from the TFAH report also reveal that minorities in the U.S. as well as individuals from low-income areas are hit hardest by this change in dietary practices and are considerably more likely to have diabetes or heart disease. Those with a college or technical college degree are much less likely to be obese than high-school dropouts. These numbers were brought to the attention of the U.S. government, which commissioned the Department of Agriculture to assess the situation as part of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008. The one-year study focused on access to healthful, affordable food and explored the concept of a “food desert.”

The USDA defines a food desert as any census district where at least 20 percent live below the poverty threshold and 33 percent live more than a mile from the nearest supermarket or large grocery store (ten miles in rural areas). Under this definition, the study found that 23.5 million Americans live in a food desert, and 82 percent of food deserts are in low-income urban areas. In these limited-access areas, many consumers tend to shop at smaller convenience stores that cannot provide food for a healthful diet and have higher prices, on average, than similar goods at a large grocery store. Though she does not like the term “food desert” and would rather see a phrase that stresses the assets of the people who live there, Davis-Kipcak recognizes the effects of the health system on the impoverished and minorities. “Poverty is a big, hairy monster,” she said. “It’s complicated and really played out in health in a big way.” The conventional solution to the problem of accessing healthful foods seems simple to many activists: make it more readily available, especially in low-income areas. First Lady Michelle Obama, one of many such advocates, aims to reduce childhood obesity rates to just 5 percent by 2030 through her “Let’s Move!” campaign. She convinced food supercenters Walmart, SuperValu and Walgreens to open or expand 1,500 stores in recognized food deserts across the nation. “If a parent wants to pack a piece of fruit in a child’s lunch, if a parent wants to add some lettuce for a salad at dinner, they shouldn’t have to take three city buses, or pay some expensive taxi to go to another community to make that possible,” Obama said at a press conference.

SWAMPS

The solution, however, may not be so simple. While Obama states that people who live in communities with greater access to supermarkets eat more fruits and vegetables and have lower rates of obesity, more recent studies show this is not always the case. For example, the aforementioned USDA study found that “easy access to all food, rather than a lack of access to specific healthy foods, may be a more

important factor in explaining increases in obesity.” This finding leads to the notion of a “food swamp,” where healthful foods might be available, but junk food is everywhere. There are five fast-food restaurants for every supermarket in the United States, and fastfood companies spent $4.2 billion on marketing in 2009, according to a September New York Times report. What is more alarming is that only 2.3 million, or 2.2 percent, of those 23.5 million people living in areas deemed food deserts are without access to vehicles. So, most of these people have access to supermarkets — but many choose to shop elsewhere. Like the bumper sticker says, fast-food is faster and easier. But it’s not guaranteed to be cheaper. The New York Times report shows that an average meal for four from McDonald’s costs $27.89, while a home-cooked meal for four, consisting of chicken, potatoes and salad, averages $13.78, a 51 percent savings. Some may argue that fast food gives consumers more bang for their buck in terms of calories, but that’s not necessarily true either. The home-cooked meal just described contains 4 percent more calories and 191 percent more protein.

JUNKIES

If the majority of Americans can access healthful, affordable food that is generally cheaper than fast-food, why do we choose the junk? Could it be the art of cooking is long gone and Americans no longer possess the culinary capacity? Maybe we should blame the hour and a half Americans spend watching television each day? Perhaps, as one study suggests, the fast-food industry has merely turned Americans into food junkies. A 2009 Scripps Research Institute study found that binging on high-calorie, high-fat foods alters the brain’s chemical makeup, making it more difficult to trigger the release of dopamine. This means fast-food addicts need more and more to feel satisfied — similar to users of drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine. “The physiological evolution is very scary,” Davis-Kipcak said. “It requires a lot of consciousness on our part, and it requires each

Wisconsin had an obesity rate of 16.4% and was ranked the 10th most obese state in the nation. Wisconsin had a combined obesity and overweight rate of 52.9%. It is now 64.3%. Wisconsin had a diabetes rate of 4.4%. It is now 7.5%.

of us to raise the bar … not only to expect it but demand it.” One suggestion to ending the food crisis involves using zoning laws to restrict the number of fastfood restaurants in low-income neighborhoods. Los Angeles experimented with this in 2008 and successfully implemented a one-year moratorium on building new fast-food restaurants in a 32-square mile area in South L.A. The USDA cautions, however, that there is no silver bullet to fix the problem. What works in one area may fail in another. When high-development costs are the barrier to healthful food, subsidy programs or restructured zoning policies may help. But in other areas the problem may be lack of demand for healthful food due to inadequate consumer knowledge, in which a public health campaign may help.

MARQUETTE

State efforts to improve Twenty-nine states, not including Wisconsin, limit when and where competitive foods can be sold beyond federal requirements. Every state has implemented physical education requirements for students. Twenty-one states, not including Wisconsin, now have legislation that requires body mass index (BMI) screening or weightrelated assessments other than BMI for children and adolescents. Seven years ago, only four states required such screenings.

dining halls over the last couple years. Some of these include updating the Sodexo website to include nutritional information, integrating milk, fruits and veggies for combo meals, adding a vegetarian/vegan station to each dining hall, integrating more whole wheat products, and completely revamping the Straz Hall menu. He also mentioned the major success of two of the three planned fall farmers’ markets on campus this year. Gilligan said they are always looking for ways to improve their offerings and educate students, but they cannot force students to improve choices. “We can make sure the tools are available to them to make an educated decision on what they eat,” he said in an email. Julius Niyonsaba, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences and transfer student from Holy Cross College, believes Marquette could learn a lot in terms of healthy options. While at Holy Cross, Niyonsaba was also a part-time student at the University of Notre Dame, which has only two campus dining halls. He believes this concentrated system works better and that Marquette overextends itself with too many locations. “We have a long way to go with regard to the dining at Marquette,” he said. “It should start with reconsidering who we hire to run our food system.” Davis-Kipcak, who is also part of the Milwaukee Food Council, which works with local food advocates like Growing Power and Hunger Task Force, encouraged students to use the contained university environment of learning and inquiry to inspire change. “Vote with your fork,” she urged. “Each of us is a decision maker every single day.”

Twenty-six states, including Wisconsin, have now established farmto-school programs. Five years ago, only New York had a law establishing a farm-to-school program. Sixteen states including Wisconsin now have “complete streets” laws. Complete streets are roads designed to allow all users – bicyclists, pedestrians, drivers, and public transit users – to access them safely. Seven years ago, only five states had these laws.

The area surrounding the Marquette campus, and especially directly west of campus, has long been considered a food desert by several sources, including the USDA. Some students seem immune to the lack of supermarkets in the area since most can either eat at a dining hall or have access to transportation to large grocery stores like Pick ‘n Save. But a sizeable contingent of the student body is unhappy with the options. Kim Campbell, a senior in the College of Business Administration and member of MU Students for an Environmentally Active Campus , says there are too many steps for students to take in order to make healthful choices on campus. She believes Sodexo should be a main player in making campus healthier. “We’re very happy with the advancements on campus, but we need to see quicker growth,” Campbell said. Kevin Gilligan, general manager for Sodexo at Marquette, pointed out several improvements made in the

Wisconsin Badgers spank a top-10 opponent? Check. This was the kind of weekend Wisconsin fans have dreamed of all their lives. As an Illinois native and Chicago sports fanatic, this was the kind of weekend I have dreaded the past four years. Living in Milwaukee has given me a great appreciation for the dairy state. I love its unassuming nature. I admire its hard-working people. Heck, I wouldn’t mind living here after graduation. When it comes to sports, though, there’s no love lost. How should I put this? I hate the Cheeseheads, I loathe the Brew Crew and I would rather root for malaria than Bucky Badger. Every big victory for one of these three squads is like getting punched in the gut. To have them all win in important games within the span of two days: strap me to a table and waterboard me why don’t you? It was pure torture.

Most Chicago natives I know have a soft spot for the Brewers, have resigned themselves to accept the Packers are on a whole different level than the Bears and even like Wisconsin’s football team. Not me. Four years amongst the natives has only increased my hostilities towards their respective clubs, and I could never exactly pin down as to why I felt this way. As of late though, I’ve begun narrowing it down considerably. It all comes down to one little word: jealousy. It’s that simple. The reason I have built up so much animosity towards Wisconsin’s teams is that I could only dream to have mine be as successful. Take the Packers for example. They went from transitioning to a new Favre-less era to a potential dynasty in the blink of an eye. They have in Aaron Rodgers what every Bears fan dreams of: a quarterback that can actually throw the ball to the correct team. They have more competent wide receivers on the bench than the Bears have had in a decade. They have a ring. On top of all the talent and success, Green Bay represents the epitome of what the Bears long to be: A fun-loving group of individuals that can run up scores and celebrate with silly belt moves in the end zone. Instead we are stuck rooting for an offense that hasn’t evolved since the invention of the

forward pass. We long for exciting and instead we get Jay Cutler. Can you fault me for being jealous? Then you got the Brewers. Being a Chicago Cubs fan means expecting the worst and hoping for the average. The last few years have been nothing but painful. No playoffs, no excitement and no hope. The Milwaukee Brewers, on the other hand, are a scrappy bunch of misfits who decided to start winning over the summer and just haven’t stopped. They have reached a point where I am surprised when they lose. I expect victories every night. There was always that hope, though, that they would choke in the playoffs, much like my beloved Cubbies did in 2008 and 2009. Nope, they are well on their way to sweeping Arizona, and if I were the Philadelphia Phillies, I would be very scared of facing this ragtag bunch. I can see a World Series in Milwaukee’s future, and with the Cubs in a 103year drought, can you blame me for being jealous? As for the Badgers, there is no envy there. That’s just good oldfashioned hatred. So enjoy it while you can Wisconsinites. The getting won’t always be this good. Until then I will sit here, silently wishing it was me doing the gloating. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Women tied for first in division with West Virginia By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

That the Marquette women’s soccer team has been dominating at home is well documented. The Golden Eagles (12-2-0, 5-1-0 Big East) have a 16-game unbeaten streak at Valley Fields dating back to last season, including a perfect 8-0-0 mark this year. If it were possible to nitpick with this team, the place to start would be its 2-2-0 road record heading into last weekend, with cross-divisional matches against Louisville and Cincinnati on the docket. Consider those issues to be moot. Following up a gritty 1-0 win at Louisville (5-5-3, 3-1-2 Big East) Friday night, the Golden Eagles blasted Cincinnati (5-54, 3-1-2 Big East) 4-0 Sunday afternoon to win their fourth straight match and improve to 23-10-5 all-time against Big East National Division foes. “It was really important to play well this weekend because we are going to New York in two weeks, and with the West Virginia (loss), our coach didn’t

want that to ever happen again,” sophomore midfielder Vanessa Legault-Cordisco said. The two wins propelled Marquette into a tie for first place in the Big East American Division with West Virginia (9-4-0, 5-1-0 Big East), following the Mountaineers’ 4-1 setback at Villanova Sunday afternoon. The Golden Eagles struck early Friday night, when sophomore midfielder Taylor Madigan’s fifth goal of the season in the fifth minute was the difference in the game and added to the Cardinals’ plight at home. Before a 2-1 overtime win over South Florida on Sunday, Louisville hadn’t won a match at home this season. Marquette only managed nine shots in the game, including just five on goal, but its stout defense led to a crucial win over a Cardinals’ team that beat Notre Dame earlier in the season. “Both games were actually pretty similar in that they were battles,” senior forward Lindsey Page said. “The final score Sunday wasn’t necessarily indicative of how the game went.” Sunday’s contest was close for the first half hour, but a goal from sophomore midfielder Cara Jacobson in the 34th minute paired with Legault-Cordisco’s first goal in a Marquette See Road, page 16

Quick starts crucial to wins No easy solution, just hard work By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu

It’s become a trend for the Marquette men’s soccer team to allow its opposition the first punch in the heavyweight fight that a game of Division I soccer often becomes. But in the last two matches, Marquette has taken the first swing. Marquette scored first in its 1-1 draw against Wisconsin (5-3-2) on Tuesday and did so again Saturday night in its 2-0 victory over Rutgers (4-4-1, 1-1 Big East) in its Big East home opener. “We wanted them to. And we asked them again to. And I think they took that to heart and said, ‘OK,’” associate head coach Stan Anderson said of his team’s early aggression. “There was good talk in training, there was good talk before the game, there was good talk at the interval, so I think the guys took that to heart and accepted the challenge to go in and

value these 90 minutes.” Sophomore midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka knocked in Marquette’s game-winning goal in the 14th minute against Rutgers — only Marquette’s second goal in the first 15 minutes of play this season. “Coaches have been on us about coming out strong. The word they gave us for (Saturday’s) game was ‘buzzing,’” sophomore defender Eric Pothast said. “And we wanted to get the atmosphere going at a high tempo right away. And so we stepped onto the field and got right after it. And there’s no easing our way into games anymore. It’s all ‘go hard right from the start.’” In four of its first five games of the season Marquette (4-4-2, 2-0 Big East) went down at least one goal before tallying its first goal. Prior to the matches with Wisconsin and Rutgers, Marquette was outscored 5-2 in the first half this season. Pothast said part of the problem is that Marquette likes to “feel” its way into games. “We kind of want to see what the opposition is going to bring

as the game progresses … and it’s just soccer when it comes down to it,” Pothast said. “From now on we just need to come out and press them instead of taking the blows and trying to dig ourselves out of a hole we create.” Junior midfielder Ryan Robb, one of three players to wear the captain’s armband for Marquette, said the team’s traditional slow start has been frustrating. “We’ve been in games and we haven’t taken our chances,” Robb said. “Football is one of those games … if you don’t take your chances then you don’t win games. I think at the start (of games) that’s where we’ve really struggled.” Anderson wishes he had the solution to Marquette’s slow start and to have a way to ensure that the first half of play produced against Wisconsin and Rutgers is reproduced the rest of the season. “I’d write a book, sell it, and a lot of coaches would buy it,” Anderson said, if he could guarantee Marquette would replicate that first half style of play. “We’re working with guys that want to do that (start games well). It just hasn’t happened. Who knows what will happen next game. But we want it to be the same way.”

Get Silly. Women’s volleyball brief The Marquette women’s volleyball team moved to an unprecedented 3-0 record in the Big East after weekend victories over Connecticut (8-9, 0-4 Big East) and St. Johns (9-12, 0-4 Big East). In Sunday’s victory at the Carnesecca Arena in Queens, N.Y., the team improved to 13-4 with a three-set sweep of the Red Storm, paced by 13 kills from junior middle hitter Danielle Carlson and 12 from senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer. In the first set, the Golden Eagles’ blocking was too much for the Red Storm, as their hitting percentage was just .042 in the first frame. Saturday, the team provided another piece of program history, winning for the second time

ever at Connecticut’s Gampel Pavilion. Outside hitters Ciara Jones and Beyer each provided 19 kills, sophomore libero Julie Jeziorowski had 20 digs and freshman setter Chelsea Heier racked up 45 assists. In a postmatch interview with GoMarquette.com, coach Bond Shymansky said he was proud of the team’s competitive drive, especially after falling down early. The Golden Eagles lost the first set, but battled back for three straight victories to win 3-1. “This is what our team is going to continue to have to do on the road,” Shymansky said, “find ways to well up our own internal energy and team chemistry.”

Men’s Basketball

Transfer says he is more than just a pure shooter

Thomas advised to stay motivated by Jamil Wilson By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Junior guard Jake Thomas said it’s fine if people label him a shooter. Just know he will bring much more than three-point shooting to the Marquette Golden Eagles men’s basketball team. “I don’t want to be strictly that. You can’t play here by just being a three-point shooter,” Thomas said. “You have to be good at everything else. That’s fine to be called that, but I have to do a lot more to be able to play more.” The Racine, Wis. native transferred to Marquette as a walkon this past summer and will sit out the 2011-2012 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Thomas’ broken wrist the summer before his senior year of high school limited his exposure to collegiate coaches. Even a state title that winter didn’t bring in many offers, and he ultimately chose to be a South Dakota Coyotes. With the Coyotes, Thomas averaged 13.4 points per game and connected on 178 3-pointers over two seasons. He was named an honorable mention of the All-Great West conference team his sophomore year. But Thomas decided shortly after his sophomore season that he wanted to be closer to home. So he made a call to another Ra-

cine native who had transferred to Marquette: redshirt sophomore forward Jamil Wilson. Rivals in high school, Wilson let his eventual teammate know that Marquette was a good school, but that he would need to be ready for the workload. “He told me I needed to be ready to work and that it’s going to be unlike anything you’ve ever done before,” Thomas said. “He was right.” Coach Buzz Williams awarded Thomas a scholarship in September for the upcoming season. But now he faces the same situation Wilson, who sat out last season as a transfer student, faced a year ago. Thomas is allowed to practice with the team and sit on the bench at home games but is not allowed to travel with the team. Thomas said Wilson has advised him on what to expect from this season.

Junior guard Jake Thomas will sit out this season due to NCAA rules.

“He told me to stay motivated,” Thomas said. “You’re going to feel away from the team when they travel, and you’ll feel like a regular student. You just have to keep your head up, get in, lift and do all the workouts and stay positive through it.” When Thomas gains eligibility in 2012, Wilson said the Golden Eagles will gain a true offensive threat that goes beyond shooting threes. “A lot of people know him as a shooter because that’s one thing he displays really well,” Wilson said. “He’s a good allaround player. He can score, he can put it on the floor and he’s actually pretty athletic when it comes down to it. He can finish around the rim as well.” For the time being, it’s unclear where Thomas will fit in next season. “We’re still trying to figure out this year’s team,” assistant coach Aki Collins said. “No disrespect to Jake, but we’ve got some time to figure out where he’s going to play. We did the same thing with Jamil. He’s here. He’s a piece. We’ll figure out where he fits in when we get to that.” Thomas said he will be ready to contribute however the team needs him to, and will accomplish that by working this offseason to improve his game. “I know they’re not going to have many people at my position, so I know if I improve defensively and everything else, I should be OK,” Thomas said. “I just have to get stronger and physically be ready to go.”

Men’s Tennis brief Cross-Country Sophomore Dan Mamalat con- Brief

tinued his fall season of excellence with an undefeated weekend at the 2011 ITA Men’s All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Mamalat recorded four straight set victories over the weekend, including Sunday victories over seeded qualifier Adrian Forberg Skogeng of Mississsippi (6-4, 6-4) and George Washington’s Ulrik Thomsen (7-5, 6-3). Mamalat’s performance earned him a match in the All-American qualifying draw on Monday. Also participating is junior Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley, who will compete in Monday’s doubles action with Mamalat. While Mamalat and Crowley were competing in Oklahoma, the rest of the squad played in the Ball State Invitational in Muncie, Ind. In doubles, junior Octavio Perim and freshman James Stark made it all the way to the title match in Flight A. Although the Golden Eagles tied the match after a 7-2 deficit, they eventually fell to senior Sumit Gupta and freshman Michael Lippens of Louisville, 9-7. In singles, freshman Cameron Tehrani won the consolation draw with two victories on Sunday. Tehrani beat fellow freshman Stephen McLoughlin of Butler 6-1, 6-2 in the semifinals before downing Armaan Choudary of IUPUI 6-3, 6-1.

Seniors Peter Bolgert and Blake Johnson of the Marquette men’s cross-country team both turned in personal best times this weekend at the Greater Louisville Classic in Louisville, Ky. Johnson and Bolgert, who ran 24:32.87 (22nd place) and 24:41.30 (30th place) respectively, again paced the men’s team, this time to a sixth place finish. Redshirt junior Jack Hackett was the third Marquette runner to cross the finish line, finishing 48th (24:57.16). In the women’s race, freshman Elisia Meyle and senior transfer Alyssa Beste both cracked the top-100 with 89th (18:24.26) and 99th (18:26.92) place finishes overall. Junior Christina Sliepka was the third female across the line for the Golden Eagles (18:35.41, 114th place). The women’s team finished 20th in the field of 30. Marquette won’t compete again until Oct. 14 when the men compete at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational in Verona, Wisc., and the women take part in the Bradley Classic in Peoria, Ill.

keeper Natalie Kulla’s 38th of her career. Kulla trails Rutgers’ Erin Guthrie by six for the most shutouts all-time among Division I soccer. “The pride and work ethic our squad has on covering the entire field defensively is huge,” coach Markus Roeders told GoMarquette.com. “Natalie (Kulla) and our backs deserved special mention because they are all very unselfish and recognize their play is super important to

our team’s success.” The wins set up key interdivisional home matches with Providence (4-6-4, 2-4-0 Big East) and Connecticut (5-5-2, 2-2-2 Big East) Friday and Sunday, respectively. Marquette’s two losses this season were against the respectable Florida State and West Virginia squads, who sport a combined home mark of 11-2.

NEWS, SPORTS, &

Oct. 4, 2005 On this day, the flagship season for the women’s soccer team reached new heights. Literally, in this case. After starting off the year 111-1 overall (4-1 Big East), the Golden Eagles soared to No. 6 on the Soccer America national poll, the highest ranking in program history. Marquette was coming off a 4-1 victory over the previously fifth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the weekend. The stretch of dominance for the women’s club has been a continuing trend since this groundbreaking season, but

perhaps no team was better than the 2005 edition. The 11-1-1 start was the second best start in school history, while a slew of talented players, including goalkeeper Laura Boyer, racked up accolades all season long. Marquette would fizzle out a bit as the season carried on, ending up 19-4-1 and reaching the third round of the NCAA Tournament, but 2005 will always be remembered for the Golden Eagle’s hot start that helped them ascend to their best ranking in the program’s history.
