DPS urges students to always be aware of surroundings
By Elise Angelopulos Just one month into New Year resolutions, the Super Bowl sneakily rolls around and healthy calorie consumption seems like a long forgotten dream. Unfortunately, most Americans who enjoyed extra treats this past Sunday could potentially face long-term health risks. Professor Barbara Troy, a licensed dietitian in the College of Health Sciences, said that while the likelihood of seriously damaging one’s health in the span of a three-hour game is highly improbable, risks are still present. “I think the bigger likelihood of an immediate health risk would be from way over eating too many (calories), period,” Troy said. “This forces the body to have to process all of that food energy, which may be difficult to do.” Eric Carroll, student manager and supervisor at the Union Sports Annex Marquette, said the
Marquette students are also less likely to use contraceptives. Nationally in 2011, about 56.8 percent of college students reported using a method of contraception the last time they had intercourse, while only 50 percent of Marquette students reported doing the same in By Sarah Hauer 2009. sarah.hauer@marquette.edu Additionally, four percent of MarTalking about sex on a Jesuit quette students reported being diagcampus may seem taboo.

Bowl foods totaled nearly $2,000, according to Carroll. In an article on TheExaminer. com, dietitian Kristine Kirkpatrick said that one “guiltless” night of overindulgence may spiral into more days of thoughtless eating, in an online interview. Kirkpatrick said that wings — a food the Annex specializes in — are especially harmful as they are high in calories, sodium and sugar. See Snacking, page 5
A robbery involving a woman not affiliated with Marquette occurred Sunday at approximately 6:30 p.m. at the bus stop on North 12th Street and West Wisconsin Avenue, in front of the Al McGuire Center and Cobeen Hall. The victim, who was uninjured, was forced to give up her three Boston Store and Boost Wireless shopping bags after one of the two suspects pulled out a small handgun. Following the robbery, the suspects were reported heading west on West Wisconsin Avenue. The suspects are described as two black males both between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches tall. One of the suspects was wearing a black Pelle Pelle coat and a black baseball cap and had a
Brewers ball and glove tattoo on his neck. The other suspect wore a black hooded sweatshirt with dark jeans and white shoes. DPS officers were the first to respond to the incident after the department’s scanner listened in to the woman’s 911 call to MPD. Although DPS officers filed a report and released a public safety alert, the investigation itself will be left mostly to MPD. Marquette will assist by reviewing its security cameras for more evidence. DPS Captain Russell Shaw said the incident’s relatively early time should serve as a reminder for students, who should not let their guard down at any time. “We always have to be cognizant of our environment,” Shaw said. “I think we let our guard down just because of the time of day sometimes. We have students walking down the street after dark by themselves with their headphones on, listening to stuff and having no idea who’s around them. That’s always a concern and something students should be aware of.”
