Black Friday Madness Record 226 million consumers shopped in frenzy for deals
By Pat Simonaitis patrick.simonaitis@marquette.edu
A record number of shoppers packed big-box stores during this year’s Black Friday to snatch up bargains and discounts at retailers around the nation. Even some (un)lucky Marquette students got in on the mega-sale action. Derrick Chengery, a senior in the College of Communication, worked his fifth straight Black
Friday at a hometown Target in Pittsburgh. The electronics team member said this year was the worst he can recall in his five years’ experience. “It was complete pandemonium,” Chengery said. “I was pushed to the ground at one point. There are crazy people everywhere on Black Friday.” National statistics shed some light on Chengery’s claims. The National Retail Federation found a record 226 million people shopped over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend, spurred on by midnight openings and highly discounted products designed to get customers in the door. The number is up from 212
million last year. The average amount of money spent by those customers also rose from last year. In 2011, the average holiday shopper spent $398.62 over the weekend, up from $365.34 a year ago. As tradition has it, Black Friday as we know it today earned its name during the 1960s, dubbed by Philadelphia papers as the day retailers finally begin operating at a profit, or “in the black.” Marquette economics professor John Davis said, despite the record numbers of shoppers and money spent, it remains to be seen if retailers like Target, Best See Black Friday, page 5

Ultimately, McLaughlin said the initiative was designed to prevent crashes and property damage while also helping to improve traffic flow with the increased amount of cars on the road. The program is funded by a federal grant received through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the 2012 fiscal year. The grant is being used to help pay for deputies’ overtime to supplement their normal straight time deployments. Although traffic issues will receive more attention, McLaughlin said public safety and emergency response will remain the primary responsibility of the deputies. “No public safety need will go unattended due to a special initiative,” she said. “Things that are emergencies, injury crashes, criminal events on the freeway (and) sick or ill motorists have been, and will continue to be, top priority to deputies on patrol, regardless of specific assignment.” Stephanie Melendrez, a freshman commuter student in the College of Communication, said the sheriff made the right call in expanding patrols, explaining that holiday revelry often leads to dangerous driving. “During the holidays there are always a lot of accidents due to more consumption of alcohol,” she said. “There should be police on the lookout to ensure the safety of each driver because one driver can cause many accidents.”

Automatic across the board cuts to kick in after no agreement By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu
Last week’s failure of the Congress-appointed Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to reach a budget agreement could have long-term consequences for government-funded programs, including higher education. The “super committee” announced Nov. 21 that it will be unable to make any bipartisan agreement available to the public before the committee’s deadline Nov. 23, according to an official release from the committee leaders, Representative Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Senator Patty Murray (D-Washington). “Despite our inability to bridge the committee’s significant differences, we end this process united in our belief that the nation’s fiscal crisis must be addressed and

Study says workforce experience valuable for grads Students considering law school should think about a job By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu
Students considering attending law school after graduation should consider taking time off school to join the workforce, according to information gathered by AOL Jobs. More than 30 interviews with law professors, admissions officers, law students, recent graduates and hiring partners at law firms conducted by AOL Jobs last month confirmed professional experience has grown more important in the weak economy. Unemployment rates for lawyers are at record highs.
According to AOL Jobs, only 68.4 percent of graduates from the national law school class of 2010 are employed in jobs that require a doctorate degree in law, a drop of 8 percent from the class of 2007. Paul Bauer, an attorney and partner at Quarles and Brady in Milwaukee, said there are not many entry-level law positions available right now and agreed that students should gain realworld experience before going to law school. Bauer said perspective lawyers should do anything they can in order to set themselves apart in the job market. “There aren’t a lot of entrylevel law positions available right now,” Bauer said. “A good strategy to set yourself apart is to gain practical hands-on experience.” Bauer began law school at age 35 after working as an English

Late night texting a bad habit Google Music aims to take out iTunes Android devices key to Google’s new musical ambitions

Waking up to answer late night texts may take away from crucial sleep, possibly leading to depression and anxiety.
Study finds those who sleep with cell phones risk mental health By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
Students who leave their cell phones next to them while sleeping may be at a higher risk for depression and anxiety. Sue K. Adams, an assistant professor of human development and family studies at the University of Rhode Island, conducted a study based on 200 students’ nightly activities. The study found that students who wake up in the middle of the night to respond to text messages incur a 45-minute “sleep debt,” which leads to depression and anxiety. According to the study, students need an average of nine hours of sleep per night, but the average college student only gets seven hours. Those seven hours do not include the 45-minute sleep debt. The study also found that the students woke up to respond to texts because of an attachment to their phones. Daradirek Ekachai, chair and associate professor of public relations in the College of Communication, said students may be attached to their cell phones because of the various functions the devices can perform. “Cell phones are not just used to communicate with other
people,” she said. “It’s their calendar, clock, email and source of internet, in addition to all of these wonderful apps.” Ekachai also pointed out that students who wake up for text messages may feel as if they are missing out on something and thus need to respond. She said this can be negative, though, in that student emphasis on cell phones blurs priorities. “Cell phones become an extension of themselves, like eyeglasses or tennis shoes, so when they lose it they don’t know what to do with their daily lives,” she said. Although the study showed many students wake up to respond to texts, it is hard to tell whether this is actually the source of increased feelings of anxiety and depression. Ann Lawrence, a psychologist at Heartland Counseling in Milwaukee, believes the study does not establish causality, given the causes of depression. “When somebody does a study, they state with authority a conjecture or hypothesis as to why the results occurred,” Lawrence said. She said there is a correlation between lack of sleep and depression but is unsure if text messaging is the cause. “That’s an unknown, but it makes sense because cell phones are representations of people,” Lawrence said. Instead, she said there could be numerous reasons for students to experience anxiety or depression. “It could be that waking up in
the middle of the night causes anxiety and depression. It could be that caring about text messages causes anxiety and depression, or it could be a situation where a student is already up and think they might as well check their phone,” Lawrence said. For Molly Edwards, a sophomore in the College of Communication, responding to text messages at night is a way to stay updated. “Texting is the alternative to calling, so if someone texts me at night I get worried that it might be an emergency,” Edwards said. “So I wake up when I hear my phone go off.” Edwards admitted she is oftentimes tired the next day but still wakes up to respond to a text message once or twice a night. Edwards said another factor for responding to texts during the night is common courtesy. “I think it’s rude not to respond to a friend,” she said. Not all students respond to text messages during the night, though. Jared Wimmer, a junior in the College of Business Administration, said he turns his phone off and gets an adequate amount of sleep. “I turn my phone off at night to save battery and to not have to worry about it,” he said. “I like to say I cut myself off.” Wimmer said that on a good night he gets eight or nine hours of sleep.

Someone is always out there with him and is most likely one of the more down-to-earth fathers that I have met.” Mashuda is sponsoring a cigar night for male residents to bond, and Garinger will be in attendance with cigar in hand. Garinger also said he wouldn’t mind getting in touch with Marquette’s Cigar and Pipe Social Club of Marquette.
Kansas gov. reacts to tweet Student post sparks criticism, freedom of speech controversy By Bill Draper & John Milburn Associated Press
When a high school senior tweeted that Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback “sucked,” among other invectives, reaction at the state Capitol led her principal to demand an apology. Instead, it was the Republican governor offering a mea culpa Monday, forced to admit to a self-described overreaction by his staff that subjected him to ridicule for efforts to police a teenager’s Internet musings. Emma Sullivan’s tweet from the back of a crowd listening to Brownback speak last week, and her subsequent refusal to write an apology letter, spurred several thousand supporters to rush to her online defense — boosting her Twitter following from 61 friends to more than 12,000 people in less than a week. The 18-year-old from the Kansas City suburb of Fairway was taking part in a Youth in Government program in Topeka when she tweeted from her cell phone: “Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person (hash)heblowsalot.” She said she was just joking with friends, but Brownback’s office, which monitors social media for postings containing the governor’s name, contacted the youth program. Sullivan said she was called to the principal’s office for the first time ever and told to apologize in writing to the governor. “My staff overreacted to this tweet, and for that I apologize,” Brownback said in a statement Monday. “Freedom of speech is among our most treasured freedoms.” The reaction exemplifies what Bradley Shear, a Washington, D.C.-area social media attorney, called an example of the nationwide chasm between government officials and rapidly
evolving technology. “This reflects poorly on the governor’s office,” Shear said. “It demonstrates their P.R. department and whoever is dealing with these issues need to get a better understanding of social media in the social media age. The biggest problem is government disconnect and a lack of understanding of how people use the technology.” Brownback’s office declined to discuss its social media monitoring in detail, but politicians and governmental offices across the county are increasingly keeping an eye on the Internet for mentions of their campaigns or policies, not unlike the way newspapers and television broadcasts have been watched for decades. Many officials even maintain their own Facebook and Twitter accounts to inform constituents of events or policy announcements. Shear said the disconnect comes in determining how, or if, to respond in a new age of interactivity. “Whatever issues are out there, we’re just starting the conversation about them,” Shear said. “There needs to be a national conversation on how to respond to these issues and how to do it right.” Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s office, for example, doesn’t formally monitor comments about the governor posted through social media sites, nor has the office reached out to anybody because of comments they posted, spokesman Scott Holste said. “Our focus and concerns are really on bigger things,” Holste said. “It’s an occasional glance, but it’s not something that is systematic.” Sullivan’s tweet Nov. 21 caught the eye of Brownback’s deputy communications officer, who forwarded it to two staffers in the governor’s office, according to a string of emails obtained by The Associated Press. Niomi Burget, assistant director of scheduling, forwarded the tweet to Deborah Brown with the Shawnee Mission School District, who is state coordinator for the Youth in Government program, and said she didn’t know if the student was in Brown’s group, but thought if she
was Brown might want to know about the tweet. Brown responded that she had contacted Sullivan’s principal, was embarrassed for the program, and hoped Brownback would speak to students again next year. As Sullivan’s tweet and her school’s call for an apology letter gained traction online, Shawnee Mission East Principal Karl Krawitz emailed Burget to say that the teen never was threatened with punishment if she refused to write the letter. Krawitz, who said he had received “disgusting” hate mail over the incident, acknowledged he wasn’t a Brownback supporter but was troubled that a student had been disrespectful while on a school trip. “I am not a big fan of the governor, but I respect the person and the office,” he wrote in the email Saturday, adding that he thought the incident “will probably get ugly.” The Shawnee Mission School District said Monday it was no long seeking a letter from Sullivan. “Whether and to whom any apologies are issued will be left to the individuals involved,” the statement said. “The issue has resulted in many teachable moments concerning the use of social media. The district does not intend to take any further action on this matter.” Doug Bonney, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri, said the teen’s speech was clearly protected by the First Amendment. “Saying that the governor is no good and is a blowhard is core protected speech,” Bonney said. “It’s absolutely what the First Amendment was designed to protect.” Sullivan said Monday that nobody from the school told her about the statement it issued saying she didn’t have to write the apology letter, nor did she hear from the Brownback’s office about its apology. She instead heard about both from news media seeking comment. “They were just kind of out there for the world, but no one reached me directly,” she said.

Ditching Facebook for something better
Bridget Gamble I don’t know you, but I know we’ve got a bad habit in common. We open a web browser with the intent of checking our e-mail or downloading an assignment from D2L. And — without even meaning to — we go to Facebook, as if our fingers were 10 tiny nervous systems complete with minds of their own. Like I said, I don’t know you, but I know you experience that same flash of selfloathing as you snap out of your Facebook coma and survey your situation: a horizontal position in bed at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday with Cheez-It crumbs on your sweater and forty minutes spent clicking through photo albums of people you haven’t spoken to in four years – and their newborn babies. That feeling of disgust is exactly why I deleted my Facebook. I’ve deactivated my account before, but
always with the intention of reactivating it in the near future. This time, for a whole plethora of reasons, I swear: it’s for real. Facebook is a garbage dump we all contribute to and we never sift through. We upload photos of our pets wearing Halloween costumes and update our statuses with our whereabouts, and for whom? We claim that we stay on the site “to keep in touch,” and that’s a huge insult to whoever we’re using a website to “keep in touch” with. Distance is an issue in college, but every generation before ours made it work. But the reason that compelled me the most was the simplest: Facebook has no value. Every time I used to open my laptop, I’d spend at least 10 minutes on Facebook. That would add up to at least an hour a day – a chunk of time that I could’ve otherwise used to read a few dozen pages from a book, run a couple miles or talk on the phone to out-of-state friends. I have nothing to show for all the time I’ve spent on Facebook, and that makes me sick. But no more.

If you ditch your social network, here’s to how to survive: 1. Find a new addiction What do you like? Photography? Check out the New York Times’ photo blog, Lens. Make an account on goodreads.com to keep track of books you’ve read and books you want to read. Set your homepage to a news site. Watch your conversations with friends evolve from news feed activity (who’s in a relationship with who?) to actual, you know, news. There’s no shortage of cool stuff on the internet to make you question why you ever created a Facebook account. 2. Resist reactivation Reactivating your account is too easy: all you need to do is log in once more. Don’t. You can always go back later to see your friend’s album from the weekend or to post a link on someone’s wall. In the meantime, remind yourself of the 10, 15, 20 other things you could do that carry more significance than some stalking or sharing. (Make a list. You’ll probably run out of paper.)
3. Step up your email game Remember that photo album you wanted to see, and that link you never got to share? Ask your friend to e-mail you the best photos, and send that link via e-mail. People check their e-mail just as frequently as, if not more than, Facebook. Let it take the place of your social network. On top of being equally efficient, it’s also more private and secure. 4. Ease up I thought I would miss out on events and party invites without my Facebook. Wrong. If anything, the absence of Facebook creates more opportunities. I’d never go to a party that someone had forgotten to send me a Facbeook invite to, for example. But not having a profile eliminates that potential awkwardness and makes everything seem more inclusive. So if you think that by hitting the “deactivate” button, you’re committing social suicide, you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. Now the end of the semester is approaching, and time is scarce. There couldn’t be a more perfect time to take a Facebook hiatus. But don’t worry, all your bad habits will be waiting for you when you log in again. bridget.gamble@marquette.edu

Research fulfilling, essential to academic setting By Dominic Tortorice
dominic.tortorice@marquette.edu
$1.3 million grant to continue his research. “Marquette has provided an extremely supportive environment for my research,” Peoples said. “There is also a spirit of collegiality and collaboration at Marquette that I haven’t found elsewhere.” It is the growing importance of research in academia and the personal educational ambition of professors that has made research so prevalent among faculty, Drope said. “The point is almost all of your professors are doing research,” Drope said. But that is not to say professors place the good of their research above other duties related to education. “It is a constant balancing among teaching, research and service,” Drope said. “I, and many others, would argue that particularly research and teaching complement each other nicely. My research informs my teaching because on a daily basis in my research I’m thinking about the concepts that I’m teaching, and my teaching informs my research because good students press me to make my logic as clear as possible.”
It is the continued institutional emphasis on faculty research and the collaborative efforts it promotes that has many at the university believing Marquette is on the rise when it comes to research. And the numbers agree. Vice Provost for Research Jeanne Hossenlopp said that, during the fiscal year of 2010, faculty were awarded a total of $28 million for research, a university record. The amount of dollars awarded by the federal government also increased by 81 percent, something she said Marquette professors worked hard to obtain. “Some of the increase was due to funds obtained from competing for stimulus funds available due to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Hossenlopp said. “Marquette faculty are demonstrating their commitment to finding support for their research and educational projects, even during times of increasing competition and budgetary restrictions.” Although the total of external awards for Fiscal Year 2011 dipped to “nearly” $26.5 million, Hossenlopp said it is still a strong indicator of the success of research at Marquette.
Along with the availability of competitive funds and a fostering environment, some professors point to the infrastructure of the university as another factor in furthering faculty research. Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed, associate professor of mathematics at Marquette, said the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (OSRP) in particular helps faculty in their academic undertakings. “Our ORSP staff are (all) so supportive,” Ahamed said. “Every small support makes a big difference ... because of Marquette’s support I was able to do my international cancer care project (and) my students and I have over 100 peer-reviewed publications.” Ahamed studied the development of phone applications to help breast cancer patients in rural areas stay in touch with physicians. The resources, academic community and the researchers themselves make Marquette an exceptional place for faculty, Peoples said. “(Marquette) is a great place to do research,” Peoples said. “In my experience, the research environment at Marquette is unique compared to similar

College can be a busy time. Most students balance their schedules with commitments including class, homework, volunteering, involvement in a student organization and, in many cases, a job. But students are not the only ones whose planners are bursting to the seams. In addition to often teaching multiple classes, keeping office hours, attending meetings and engaging in service, it turns out the work life of a professor can be just as hectic as that of a student’s. But if there’s one commitment professors don’t mind spending a good chunk of time on, it’s time spent on academic research. Jeffery Drope, an assistant professor of political science at Marquette, said professors value research because it is becoming more and more important to their academic livelihood. “I think it is important to
understand … (Marquette) is an institution that not only values research, but actually requires it of its faculty,” Drope said in an email. “It is a central, and increasing, part of the promotion, tenure and remuneration processes.” Drope’s own research centers on tobacco use in Africa and the formulation of effective policy limiting smoking in economicallydeveloping African countries, a task he has spent time on since 2008. “My own research on development policy is motivated by my observations of the fundamental inequalities in the world,” Drope said. “This is also why I was drawn to (Marquette), because this research agenda is highly congruent with Jesuit values and with the values and research interests of so many of my colleagues.” The correlation between research designed for the good of society and the Jesuit mission of the university inspired Robert Peoples, associate professor of biomedical sciences at Marquette, in his own research. Peoples’ own research is specific in scope: the effects of alcohol on the human brain at the molecular level. He was recently awarded a

We may not have the same breadth of research compared to larger institutions, but in particular areas of expertise we’re actually quite strong.” The university is home to several academic research centers and institutes, including the National Sports Law Institute, the Institute for Urban Environmental Risk Management and the Thermofluid Science and Energy Research Center. Drope said Marquette is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to faculty research. “(Marquette) has some truly world-class, ... cutting-edge researchers, (who) make us competitive with some of the country’s best research institutions in a number of areas,” he said.
Team Effort One thing both Drope and Peoples agree makes the research culture at Marquette so fulfilling
and important is the quality of their fellow faculty and student researchers. “In the last couple of years, I have had some exceptional students with whom I have collaborated on research projects, and we have published several peer-reviewed book chapters,” Drope said. Peoples said the interaction between students and faculty is an exceptional characteristic of Marquette research. “The most valuable resource here is people: outstanding faculty, students, and staff,” he said. “I have colleagues at other institutions who are envious of what we have here.” Amanda Ebbens, a senior in the College of Health Sciences, has volunteered in the biomedical sciences research lab and said working on meaningful research with professors has given her practice for her future career. “I think it is one of the most fulfilling positions I could ask for,”
Tribune 9
Ebbens said. “The research that I do is high-impact and I feel that I am able to be personally involved in all aspects.” Marquette is to be commended for partnering students and professors in research, she said. “Marquette is very supportive of research,” Ebbens said. “I am grateful that the university has programs like this for their students to have the opportunity to get involved, and gain valuable experience.” Elizabeth LaRose, senior in the College of Health Sciences, said the nature of her research position allows for greater responsibility and therefore, more valuable experience. “I will oftentimes work right alongside my supervising professor when doing both experiments and surgeries, which is awesome,” she said. “It demonstrates that research is such a team effort, and everyone (who) is a part of that team is both respected and appreciated.”

Put your dancin’ shoes on: MU invited to the ball Will play Western Kentucky in first NCAA tourney game By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu
Coach Bond Shymansky led his team to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history after a 23-10 season.
It took 36 years to accomplish, but the wait is finally over. Bond Shymansky and the Marquette women’s volleyball team learned Sunday night they were selected as an at-large team to the NCAA Tournament, the program’s first ever bid. The Golden Eagles will face the Sun Belt Conference champion Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the first round, playing in Champaign, Ill., on the University of Illinois campus. The historic moment served as a culmination of three successful seasons under Shymansky, who has turned a program once struggling to accumulate double-digit wins into a contender in one of the nation’s toughest conferences. “The biggest change for us is just the cultural attitude,” Shymansky said. “‘Can’ instead of ‘can’t.’ ‘Win’ instead of ‘lose.’ And it’s not me — it’s the players that are doing it and living it. They’re held to a really high standard, and it’s a rigorous schedule and the demands are really high, but I just see them wanting it. When somebody’s failing and can see success, it’s amazing to see what they’ll do to get it. And they’ll do it the right way, the hard way.” The berth comes one year after Shymansky’s team watched as 64 teams were selected to the 2010 NCAA Tournament ahead of Marquette, something he said has been a motivational

tool all season long. “That was a valuable moment for our team, to feel that failure last year during the selection show,” Shymansky said. “And that disappointment, you could tell that was driving them this year to get out there and compete hard and make sure that they win.” That’s exactly what Shymansky’s group did this season, racking up a program-best 23 wins, including 11 in the Big East, and earning the coveted tournament bid. Shymansky was named the Big East Coach of the Year, setter Chelsea Heier was named Big East Freshman of the Year and senior outside hitters Ashley Beyer and Ciara Jones and junior middle hitter Danielle Carlson were all named to All-Big East teams. But now that the team has accomplished one of its goals of earning an NCAA bid, a new goal awaits: winning in the NCAA Tournament. “It’s a great opportunity, but we need to realize that it’s going to take all the hard work we put in all season not to get knocked out in the first round,” Jones said. “Because that’s something else that could be added to history this season, if we win in the first round.” Shymansky led the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to three tournament berths, including an Elite 8 appearance (2004) and Sweet 16 appearance (2003) from 2002’08 before coaching at Marquette. He said he will use his experiences to guide his team through the week’s practices leading up to the Friday match. “I told them that, in my experience, when you get to the NCAA Tournament everything See Ball, page 15
Can’t get into the ‘Fro-zone’ Second half surge downs Dolphins Andrei Greska Something is off. You know that feeling you get when you finish taking a huge test? It’s like the weight of the world was taken off your shoulders. That knot in your stomach? Gone, soon to be filled by an assortment of beverages your parents may or may not approve of. All that is left is a sense of giddy excitement, like when Will Ferrell and John C. Riley bunked their beds for the first time in “Step Brothers.” A great example of this feeling is when the men’s basketball team has put its collective foot on an opponent’s throat, taking all doubt out of the final result. Sometimes this comes with a minute left in the game, sometimes with 10, but when it does it’s always a recipe for a deep exhale, the dissipation of all that pent-up nervous energy and the start of scrub time. Well that feeling’s gone.
As we were cruising to a 54 point victory over Mount St. Mary’s, I attributed it to the weak opponent and the thorough smack down that was being laid on the court. There was something not quite right. I couldn’t put my finger on it. A few days later against Norfolk State — the first time — it was more of the same. A resounding performance on the court and a lopsided victory couldn’t quench my thirst for
“If you can label my feelings toward him as “love,” then as a collective group, the student section adored him. He was and is the only player I have ever heard fans chant for during games.” God knows what. It wasn’t until the massacre against Ole Miss that it hit me. I finally realized what we were missing: Rob Frozena. Before you get your panties up in a bunch about this, hear me out. For those of you who are new to the program this year, Frozena was a walk-on guard on the basketball team the past four years, playing garbage minutes
only in landslides. He wasn’t very quick, couldn’t shoot, play defense or jump very high and he didn’t really bring much to the table skill-wise. What he did always provide was heart. When he got on the court it didn’t matter if Marquette was up 40 or down 35, he played as if the title was on the line. I loved his hustle and sheer will to give it his all every single second he played. If you can label my feelings toward him as “love,” then as a collective group, the student section adored him. He was and is the only player I have ever heard fans chant for during games. As soon as the game was in the bag, and even before then at times, “ROB-FRO-ZE-NA clap clap clapclap clap,” rung throughout the Bradley Center. When coach Buzz Williams finally relented and unleashed ‘Frozone’ from his permanent spot on the bench, the crowd cheered as if Marquette just won the Big East Championship tournament. He was the human victory cigar the student section couldn’t wait to smoke. This is the point where some See Fro-zone, page 15
Crowder leads team with 27 points, Blue with seven assists By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu
Marquette brushed off a sloppy first half to finish the month of November undefeated for the first time in coach Buzz Williams’ four-year tenure with an 88-56 win over Jacksonville Monday night. A 32-9 run gave the Golden Eagles a 62-37 lead with 12:16 left in the game. Williams attributed some of the sloppiness to the fact that the team hadn’t played since a 59-57 win on Nov. 21 over Norfolk State in the championship of the Paradise Jam. “We were a lot better (in the second half),” Williams said. “I didn’t think we were quite as rusty as I thought we would be, but I didn’t think we were as sharp as we needed to be.” Senior forward Jae Crowder led the Golden Eagles with 27 points on 9-of-15 shooting, with 23 of those points coming in the second half. The four 3-pointers Crowder made
were a career high. Crowder didn’t feel like the team was rusty coming into the game, only saying that the team needed to tighten up a few things on both ends of the floor. “We knew coming into the game that they (Jacksonville) would hit a lot of threes,” Crowder said. “We knew they were capable of hitting threes, we just felt like defensively we needed to make them ‘drivers.’” Senior guard Darius JohnsonOdom chipped in 19 points, and sophomore guard Vander Blue continued his impressive start to the season with nine rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 24 minutes of play. Blue’s seven assists were a career high and his nine rebounds and four steals tied a career high. Freshman guard Todd Mayo notched a career-high 14 points on 4-of-6 shooting. Through six games, Mayo is the teams’ fourth leading scorer at 8.8 points per game, despite averaging just 16.3 minutes per game. Williams wants observers to be impressed with Mayo’s overall game, however, not just his offensive prowess. See Surge, page 16

End of the road for seniors New regimen to Season a success yield better results despite early exit from tournament By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu
One game does not a season make. That’s why Marquette’s 4-1 loss to Penn State (21-5-0) in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Friday Nov. 18 should not define another historic campaign for the Golden Eagles. Marquette finished the season 18-4-0 and won a share of the American Division of the Big East for the third straight season. With a 10-1-0 conference record this year, the Golden Eagles are now 21-1-0 in conference play over the past two years. This loss marked the end of the road for three seniors: goalkeeper Natalie Kulla, defender Kerry McBride and forward Lindsey Page. “It was a great season, and it’s been a great five years,” Kulla said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better team, better coaches or university, so I’m just happy that this is where I ended up.” “This season was really fun and exciting,” McBride said. “I think we had something really special this year, with everyone being so close and on the same page. I can’t imagine being anywhere else.” Kulla and McBride will go
down as two of the best players in program history, both on and off the field. Kulla was named the both Big East Pre-season Goalkeeper of the Year as well as the Big East Goalkeeper of the Year. It was the second straight Big East Goalkeeper of the Year honor for Kulla, who finished her career with 43 shutouts, one short of the NCAA record. Kulla also finished first in the Big East in goals against average (0.79) and had 13 shutouts this season alone. Kulla was one of 10 finalists for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, given annually to a student-athlete who uses their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as a leader in the community, according to the award’s website. McBride, not to be outdone, earned Big East Preseason Defensive Player of the Year as well as Big East Defensive Player of the Year. As with Kulla, it was the second consecutive season McBride earned Big East Defensive Player of the Year, the first player to do so since Notre Dame’s Jen Grubb in 1998 -’99. McBride helped limit opponents to just 2.68 shots on goal per game. Page finished third on the team with 16 points (five goals, six assists), while coming off the bench in all but two contests. Sophomore forward Maegan Kelly earned All-Big East First Team honors after scoring 14
goals and tallying 12 assists for a team-high 40 points. Junior defender Ally Miller was tabbed for All-Big East Third Team honors, playing a critical role in a stingy back line that allowed only 17 goals all season. Additionally, freshman forward Mady Vicker battled injuries all season to earn Big East All-Rookie Team honors. “We can take the time to look back on a fantastic season and an incredible group of young ladies who represented Marquette and the program extremely well,” coach Markus Roeders told gomarquette.com. “It is hard to put into words the contributions of our three seniors, but they will go down among the best and brightest who have ever wore a Marquette uniform.” As a team, Marquette knocked off three ranked opponents: No. 23 Long Beach State, No. 14 Wisconsin-Milwaukee and No. 20 Notre Dame. All three teams played in the NCAA Tournament, with Long Beach State advancing to the Elite Eight after a 1-0 win over San Diego on Sunday. Despite the graduation of the three seniors, the Golden Eagles appear to be in great shape for another successful season next year with Kelly, Miller, Vicker, sophomore midfielders Kate Reigle and Taylor Madigan, and redshirt senior forward Rachael Sloan returning among others.
First meet at ND good test to see how team has progressed By A.W Herndon
astead.herndon@marquette.edu
The Marquette track and field teams hope expanded off-season workouts lead to a successful 2011-’12 campaign, especially in the season opener this weekend at the Blue & Gold Invitational at Notre Dame, Ind. The fall has been difficult for the athletes, as the teams have worked on increasing their endurance and stamina, junior distance runner Kyle Winter said. Winter – who ran the fifth fastest 800-meter race in school history at last season’s Meyo Invitational –looks to build on that success this weekend. He said he aims for a time between 2 minutes, 28 seconds and 2:30 in the 1000-meter race, a new event for him, which would qualify him for the Big East Championships. Winter is confident that increased endurance workouts will help him achieve his goal, even with the increased distance. “This year we’ve done a lot more endurance, like running miles, more threshold training, and just heavier stuff than we’ve done the last two years,” he said. Winter believes this training has allowed him to transition from 500-meter race to 1000-meter. Threshold training forces athletes to run their hardest, fastest pace for a specific amount of time, as opposed to typical tempo running. Fifth year senior sprinter Tyler O’Brien felt this shift in training was positive. “The fall has been good,” he said. “We’ve had rigorous workouts … but they also incorporated some speed work, which was good. It was good to get in some of (both) during the off-season.”
Both runners are excited to return to the track after months of in-house training. “It’s a good indicator to see where you are at in your events,” O’Brien said. “Hopefully we can lay down some Big East marks so we don’t have to worry about it later in the year.” Although the meet means little in their grand goals for the season, Winter thought simply racing other schools is important in instilling a competitive drive into everyone. “(This weekend) is just about getting out there and seeing how we’ve progressed from August until now,” he said. “We want to see how we measure up. It’s not about dominating. We’re going out there to prove to ourselves that we’re getting better.” Fifth year coach Bert Rogers said he views this weekend as a “time trial,” and said many athletes will not compete. However, Rogers was direct in stating a goal for the women’s team. “Last year, on the women’s side we were very young. This year we want to see them start off the year at a quicker pace,” Rogers said. One of the pieces for this “quicker pace,” sophomore sprinter and jumper Carlye Schuh, said the team is prepared to answer the call. “We’ve spent a lot of time in the weight room with long and hard workouts,” she said. “I think after working so hard in the fall, we’re ready to just get out there and compete.” Last season, Schuh set a school freshman record at the Blue & Gold Invitational with a long jump of 18 feet, 6.04 inches, which she would later top. But according to her, these weekends are not about actual times, but competing and having fun. “You don’t want to put a lot of pressure on yourself in the first meet. Just go out there and have fun with it,” Schuh said.

Men’s lacrosse
Spreading love of the game Steve Brundage looks to idols for coaching technique By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu
Assistant Coach Steve Brundage is a former Major League Lacrosse team member of the Chicago Machine and has helped to create an aggressive offensive vibe for the Golden Eagles. Photo courtesy of Marquette Athletics While Wisconsin is historically more well known for its baseball, football and basketball, lacrosse has meant as much to coach Stephen Brundage as the Packers do to folks from Green Bay. Brundage, who was hired in May as Marquette’s top assistant lacrosse coach, said spreading the game he loved playing is part of the reason that he, coach John Orsen and head coach Joe Amplo came to Milwaukee. Brundage grew up in Camillus, N.Y., a western suburb of Syracuse, and said Syracuse’s host of legendary lacrosse players served as heroes and icons to him as a youth. “A lot of the players from my high school, specifically that went on to play collegiately, never left Syracuse and would come back
during the summers to coach,” Brundage said. “When I was six or seven years old I would have John Zulberti and Charlie Lockwood, some of the all-time greats at Syracuse coaching me, and they’re the ones who really taught me how to play the game.” Brundage graduated from the University of Loyola-Maryland where he finished his college career with 88 career goals and 143 career points, twice claiming team MVP honors. He went on to play professionally for the Chicago Machine of Major League Lacrosse before beginning his coaching career at Drexel University. “I think my status as a former professional player gives me an immediate amount of respect in the eyes of our players, especially the ones that don’t know me,” Brundage said. “We’re obviously trying to teach our kids the fundamentals and Xs and Os of lacrosse, but the ultimate goal is to teach them to compete at the highest level, which is where my experience as a professional helps.” Amplo, who coached against Brundage’s Loyola-Maryland teams several times, said he had witnessed Brundage’s development into what he called one of the most respected young coaches in the sport. “He brings a good blue-collar
mentality and work ethic, and he believes in the same values I believe in,” Amplo said. “I really like his offensive philosophies as he really brings creativity that is going to serve us well, and he has a great ability to teach the fundamentals of the game.” Orsen, who played collegiately under Amplo at Hofstra University, said Brundage has a different style than most offensive lacrosse coaches at the Division I level. “Stephen (Brundage) runs a less conventional style of offense that I think is really tough to defend,” Orsen said. “It’s tricky with a lot of pick and rolls, and it’s a lot like basketball. He’s trying to integrate it as much as possible into our field play.” Brundage said he, along with Amplo and Orsen, has been busy conducting clinics in Chicago and at Marquette to help develop future prospects and continue to spread the sport. “We’re doing as much as we can to try to stretch the game, and I think the biggest way to do that is to coach it at the lowest level and get other coaches on board,” Brundage said. “I think that once that happens, better coaches will develop better players, and we will be able to recruit from the state of Wisconsin, which is obviously the ultimate goal.”

Ball: New goals in place
goes on warped speed,” Shymansky said. “And the focus has to be higher. The discipline has to be stronger. You can’t be coasting until that match on Friday. You’ve really got to put good reps into the bank this week.” Beyer said she and Jones will temper the excitement, despite knowing the historic match that awaits. “I think it’ll be tough because we’ll be excited to play, but we know we have to come out and work hard (in practice),” she
said. “We have to put in the best work we can to get prepared for this weekend.” The week’s schedule will remain the same, but Shymansky said his players now must build on the accomplishments already achieved. “All the things we do this week are business as usual, but now that business is winning. It’s sudden death. This is that moment, and they’ve conquered that dream. Now they have to make a win a reality.”
While the Marquette men's basketball team has already played five games before December, this wasn’t the case back in Al McGuire's heyday. The season started much later, with the Warriors commencing their memorable championship campaign against St. Leo on Dec. 1, 1976. Marquette handled the Lions with ease, stomping them 80-39 in the opener at the MECCA Arena, now known as the U.S. Cellular Arena, where the home games were played back then. McGuire and assistants Hank Raymonds and Rick Majerus had gone to the Elite Eight the previous season, going 27-2 and losing to eventual national champion Indiana. The Warriors’ leading scorer
Earl Tatum — whose number 43 is retired — graduated, leaving a gap for McGuire and company to fill. Senior Bo Ellis returned after averaging 9.3 rebounds per game as a junior, but the Warriors' goto-guy would be junior guard Butch Lee. Lee averaged 19.6 points per game in 1976-’77 and would finish his career as a twotime All-American, including winning the Naismith National Player of the Year award for the 1977-'78 season. That blowout against St. Leo in December would be the first of 25 wins for Marquette that season, leading to the school's only national championship. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Fro-zone: No replacement for Frozena will pull out the race card and say Frozena was cheered like mad simply for being white. That was my impression my freshman year, but that’s not even close to the truth. Frozena represented the students like no player ever could. He wasn’t an athlete who happened to be a student, but rather a student who happened to be an athlete. He loved Marquette for what
it was and not because it was a chance to get to the NBA, and he proved it day-in and day-out by going through the rigorous practices with the knowledge he wasn’t going to play. He was the ultimate fan, cheering from the best seat in the house. He’s gone, though, and there is no one to replace him. There is no one to stick in during garbage time just to let the clock
wind down, and no one for the students to revere. This is shaping up to be a very promising season for the Golden Eagles, but no matter how it ends a little piece of satisfaction will be absent. Here’s to you Rob Frozena. You are and will continue to be missed. andrei.greska@marquette.edu
Many expected redshirt sophomore forward Jamil Wilson to lockdown a starting spot for the No. 16/16 Marquette Golden Eagles (6-0). With the departure of Jimmy Butler, Wilson fit the same build and mold that Butler had exemplified during his three years as a Golden Eagle. It hasn’t worked out that way thus far for Wilson with sophomore guard Vander Blue locking down the “small forward” position in Williams’ starting five. Blue has yet to play less than 19 minutes in a game this season and entered Monday night’s contest as one of three Golden Eagles averaging double-digit points. His contributions are felt all over the court as demonstrated with his stat line Monday: three points, nine rebounds, seven assists and four steals. He is one of Marquette’s best defenders and has shown strong
abilities in the open court. But behind Blue is the unknown. Wilson and sophomore forward Jamail Jones have each shown glimpses of why they should play major minutes for Marquette – Jones showing offensive potential and Wilson demonstrating defensive skills that Williams loves. On the year Wilson has logged 96 minutes and Jones 58. But Jones has played more minutes than Wilson in two of Marquette’s six contests despite the 38 minute differential. Wilson had a career-high, in a Marquette uniform, with six points (3-of-8 from the field) against Jacksonville Monday and looked more confident on the offensive end. Senior forward Jae Crowder said Wilson just needed to get more experience in Marquette’s system. “A lot of people expected him to hit the ground running coming from Oregon, me included. Just him getting his feet wet, him getting comfortable, as you can see has changed his way of playing. I can see him progressing as the season goes on,” Crowder said.

Sophomore forward Jamil Wilson hasn’t solidified a starting spot yet.
for this season based upon his slow start? “It’s no telling. He’s capable of being a double-double type guy. The way he can rebound. His athleticism. The things he does on the on the offensive end, I think he can be a double-double type guy,” Crowder said. And beyond those two is freshman forward Juan Anderson. Anderson was suspended for three games after accepting tickets for a Milwaukee Brewers postseason game and missed practices nine through 18 with a foot injury. Since being reinstated against Ole Miss, Anderson has logged seven minutes of game time, five on Monday. “Juan plays (five) minutes and he’s on the floor more than the other 10 guys combined in the first 36 minutes of the game. He has no idea what he’s doing. But everybody thinks he knows what he’s doing because he plays so hard,” Williams said. “I think
that’s the hardest lesson in life to understand. That’s good for Juan that he’s already figured it out.” Williams said Anderson is the unquestioned 11th man on the bench. “I told him as soon as we walked into the locker room ‘I’m not mad at (you),’” Williams said. “I’m the most loyal cat you’ll ever find because of how I grew up. I’m extremely loyal to Juan. But not at the expense of removing my loyalty towards those other 10 kids.” To overtake a player like Jones or Wilson on Marquette’s hierarchy, Williams said Anderson must play like he did on Monday. “Juan played (five) minutes and was on the floor three or four times. He jumps out of bounds. He dives for the ball. He’s getting rebounds. He gets fouled. I just think he’s a hard working player,” freshman guard Todd Mayo said.
“He is a lot better defender than you probably realize, but he has been so good offensively that you don’t necessarily pay attention to what he has been doing for us defensively,” Williams said. While Mayo has been impressive early in his career, he himself believes there is room for him to improve. “I think I’m doing ok, but I know I can do better,” Mayo said. “The team can do better and we just need to work a little harder and we’ll figure it out when it’s time for Big East play.” For the game, Marquette shot 58.5 percent from the field, including 65.5 percent in the second half. During Williams’ tenure, the Golden Eagles are 38-3 when shooting over 50 percent, including 5-0 this season. The Golden Eagles are now averaging 88 points per game, good for a tie for fifth in the nation with North Carolina. Marquette also ranks sixth in field goal percentage (53.1 percent) and fourth in the country in assists per game (20.5), after picking up 22 more on Monday. Delwan Graham led the Dolphins in scoring, finishing with 13 points. Jacksonville fell to 2-4 with the loss. While the margin is victory was substantial, not everything went right for the Golden Eagles, who allowed Jacksonville to make nine 3-pointers on 26 attempts (34.6 percent). Marquette’s next two opponents, Wisconsin and Washington, rank No. 2 and No. 4 in the country, respectively, in 3-point field goal percentage.
“In the first half, 60 percent of their points came from 3s and that’s not a good combination,”
Williams said. “I thought our energy and sharpness were much better in the second half.”
