Historic theaters revitalized Wis. district debate Times, Rosebud hits federal court Cinemas bought by By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu
Shortly after it was announced that two of the area’s oldest movie theaters were closing after 80 years of operation, the theaters received a second chance, with ownership being reassumed by former owner Jay Hollis. Hollis owned the Times and Rosebud Cinemas, located in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, respectively, from 2005 to 2007. David Glazer bought the properties from Hollis in 2007, when investment properties were booming. Glazer, citing a tough lending environment in which it is difficult to renew or refinance commercial loans, said in a statement he tried to negotiate with his lender, but the bank ultimately decided to take back the theaters. Tim Carter, a spokesperson for AnchorBank, the bank that repossessed the theaters, said the new ownership will keep the theaters open. See Movies, page 7

A recent study at New York’s St. Lawrence University found that enrolling in earlier classes leads to higher grades.
Study connects morning classes with higher grades By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu
Signing up for a dreaded 8 a.m. class could help boost your grades, according to a study performed by researchers at New York’s St. Lawrence University. The study surveyed 253 college students and found students in earlier classes had higher grade point averages. Participants completed cognitive tasks once a week, kept a sleep diary and recorded their class schedule, substance use and mood. Researchers found students who started later in the day did get more sleep. But Pamela Thacher, one of the study’s main researchers, said in a press release that there are some unlikely variables involved in class schedules which negatively impacted those who had later classes. “Those who chose later classes also tend to sleep longer and consume more alcohol and other substances, while those who elect earlier classes may be more motivated to find ways to offset the early start time by making healthier choices about their daily
living,” Thacher said. Excessive alcohol consumption is the main negative influence on academic performance in college, according to the press release. Drinking alcohol is known to disrupt sleep and may reduce the benefits of getting more sleep. “The effects of later class start times might include more sleep,” Thacher said. “But this might be offset by lower quality of sleep, which in turn might affect students’ ability to engage intellectually with their coursework.” Thacher said in an interview with The New York Times that for every hour earlier a class is, you get about a 0.02 difference in grades. She said students with a late morning class might earn a 3.0 average, while students with earlier classes might earn a 3.2. Students said the time of day for courses does not affect the grade received but is more of a personal preference. Donny Devitt, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, said he chooses to take 8 a.m. classes. Devitt said he has had 8 a.m. class at least three days a week during his time at Marquette. “I like to compact everything into the morning so I can be out of class by 2 (p.m.),” Devitt said. But he said he notices how students’ class schedules affect their lifestyles. “People who want to drink on
weeknights try to start their classes later, especially on Fridays,” Devitt said. Vicki Vlach, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said she opts for 9 a.m. classes. “I want to start early and get done with class but (9 a.m. classes) are not as bad as 8 a.m.,” Vlach said. Robert Matuszewski, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said he has taken fewer morning classes as he has gotten older. Matuszewski said his 3000- and 4000-level courses have all started later in the day. “Most classes at 8 a.m. are (Core of Common Studies) courses,” Matuszewski said. Kerry Grosse, an associate registrar at Marquette, said the university cannot release student records under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Student information covered under FERPA includes students’ grades and class schedules. The university does not retain information about what sections fill up the fastest during registration. For this semester there were no open spots in 8 a.m. sections for English 1001 or 1002 at the end of registration. There were, however, open spaces in mid morning and afternoon sections.

Bias reporting Google profiling begins system planned New privacy policy allows collection of users’ personal data By Michael Liedtke Associated Press
If you’re amazed — and maybe even a little alarmed — about how much Google seems to know about you, brace yourself. Beginning Thursday, Google will operate under a streamlined privacy policy that enables the Internet’s most powerful company to dig even deeper into the lives of its more than 1 billion users. Google says the changes will make it easier for consumers to understand how it collects personal information, and allow the company to create more helpful and compelling services. Critics, including most of the country’s state attorneys general and a top regulator in Europe, argue that Google is trampling on people’s privacy rights in its relentless drive to sell more ads. Here’s a look at some of the key issues to consider as Google tries to learn about you. Q: How will Google’s privacy changes affect users? A: Google Inc. is combining more than 60 different privacy policies so it will be able to throw all the data it gathers about each of its logged-in users into personal dossiers. The information Google learns about you while you enter requests into its search engine can be culled to suggest videos to watch when you visit the company’s YouTube site. Users who write a memo on Google’s online word processing program, Docs, might be alerted to the misspelling of the name of a friend or co-worker a user has communicated with on Google’s Gmail. The new policy pools information from all Googleoperated services, empowering the company to connect the dots from one service to the next. Q: Why is Google making these changes? A: The company, based in Mountain View, Calif., says it is striving for a “beautifully simple, intuitive user experience across Google.” What Google
hasn’t spent much time talking about is how being able to draw more revealing profiles about its users will help sell advertising — the main source of its $38 billion in annual revenue. One reason Google has become such a big advertising network: Its search engine analyzes requests to figure out which people are more likely to be interested in marketing pitches about specific products and services. Targeting the ads to the right audience is crucial because in many cases, Google only gets paid when someone clicks on an ad link. And, of course, advertisers tend to spend more money if Google is bringing them more customers. Q: Is there a way to prevent Google from combining the personal data it collects from all its services?
A: No, not if you’re a registered user of Gmail, Google Plus, YouTube, or other Google products. But you can minimize the data Google gathers. For starters, make sure you aren’t logged into one of Google’s services when you’re using Google’s search engine, watching a YouTube video or perusing pictures on Picasa. You can get a broad overview of what Google knows about you at http://www.google.com/dashboard, where a Google account login is required. Google also offers the option to delete users’ history of search activity. It’s important to keep in mind that Google can still track you even when you’re not logged in to one of its services. But the information isn’t quite as revealing because Google doesn’t track you by name, only through a numeric Internet address attached to your computer or an alphanumeric string attached to your Web browser. Q: Are all Google services covered by the privacy policy? A: No, a few products, such as Google’s Chrome Web browser and mobile payment processor Wallet, will still be governed by separate privacy policies. Q: Is Google’s new privacy policy legal? A: The company has no doubt about it. That’s why it’s
repeatedly rebuffed pleas to delay the changes since announcing the planned revisions five weeks ago. But privacy activists and even some legal authorities have several concerns. The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a privacy rights group, sued the FTC in a federal court in an effort to force the FTC to exercise its powers and block Google’s privacy changes. A federal judge ruled the courts didn’t have the authority to tell the FTC how to regulate Google. The FTC says it is always looking for evidence that one of its consent orders has been violated. Earlier this week, the French regulatory agency CNIL warned Google CEO Larry Page that the new policy appears to violate the European Union’s strict data-protection rules. Last week, 36 attorneys general in the U.S. and its territories derided the new policy as an “invasion of privacy” in a letter to Page. One of the major gripes is that registered Google users aren’t being given an option to consent to, or reject, the changes, given that they developed their dependence on the services under different rules. In particular, people who bought smartphones running on Google’s Android software, and signed two-year contracts to use the devices, can’t easily avoid the new privacy rules unless they buy a different handset and pay an early-termination penalty.
Q: What regulatory power do government agencies have to change or amend the privacy changes? A: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission gained greater oversight over Google’s handling of personal information as part of a settlement reached last year. Google submitted to the agreement after exposing its users email contacts when it launched a now-defunct social networking service called Buzz in 2010. The consent order requires Google’s handling of personal information to be audited every other year and forbids misleading or deceptive privacy changes. Google met with the FTC before announcing the privacy changes. That suggests the agency probably approved the revisions.
Accountability, launch date unsure as project unfolds By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
A new program in the works with Multicultural Affairs would establish a bias reporting system for students, staff and faculty to alert the university to incidents of intolerance and bias, according to interim coordinator John Janulis. The program was first referenced at a Marquette Student Government meeting last week. Janulis said such cases violate Marquette policies. “Those incidents detract from the mission of Marquette University and our statement on human dignity,” he said. Janulis said he doesn’t know if other Jesuit universities have similar systems, but public universities may have a centralized tracking system. He said the system could require a lot of campus involvement. “We would need DPS, conduct administration, the dean of students, the Counseling Center, Residence Life and Campus Ministry involved,” Janulis said. “All these different entities would need to be called together to be able to create something that would benefit students.” He said Multicultural Affairs does have evidence that shows intolerance and bias have occurred. “We have anecdotal evidence,” Janulis said. “We’ve got a clear harassment policy at Marquette, but (we’re) not sure if it captures the breadth of experiences students may have on campus that may be rooted in intolerance and bias.” He said their office would like to start the system soon, but it may take more time. “I would love for us to see something next year,” Janulis said. “To
be realistic there are a lot of things going on at Marquette, so we’re dealing with limited time and resources, and there is a process in terms of introducing new things.” He said the office is still working on the accountability aspect of the reporting system, answering the questions as to where the report, once submitted, goes and who should take action. Janulis hopes the outcomes of the reports work towards healing and repairing the harm of such incidents rather than concentrating solely on the perpetrators. “Multicultural Affairs is in the vein of supporting those impacted and providing education on how events like those impact the community and making sure there is education around those issues,” he said. The reporting system is already garnering a response from both students who have experienced incidents of intolerance and those who have not. “I’ve never been in that situation...but I support the start of (a reporting system),” said Sidney Pilarski, a freshman in the College of Engineering. Anna Ogunkunle, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, also said she would support the reporting system. “I’ve never experienced it, but I’ve seen it, and people have told me about it. I think a lot of people would support it,” Ogunkunle said. Some students, however, remain skeptical. A sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, who asked to remain anonymous, said she has been the target of intolerance and bias in her classes. The student said she believes she and certain students are unjustly watched more closely in class than others. “Even though I am sick, I still go to class so I won’t get questioned about where I’ve been,” she said. “It’s so upsetting it’s ridiculous. Education (about the issue) is not helping anything.”

Inmate options explored Apple leaves Plan calls for rivals in dust halving inmate numbers by 2015
Phases of the “11-by-5 For a Safer, Healthier Wisconsin” Campaign
By Matt Gozun benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu
A coalition of several social justice groups and more than 300 religious leaders around the state are seeking to lower Wisconsin’s prison population by nearly half in three years. The “11-by-15 For a Safer, Healthier Wisconsin” plan calls for the expansion of incarceration-alternative programs in an attempt to remove 11,000 nonviolent offenders from state prisons by 2015. Wisconsin incarcerates about 23,000 people per year, roughly twice as many as neighboring Minnesota despite the two states’ comparable populations. The plan aims to increase state funding for drug, alcohol and mental-health rehabilitation programs by $75 million per year. Currently, Wisconsin spends $1.3 billion annually on corrections, with only $1 million going to seven alternativetreatment programs since 2006. According to state officials, each dollar spent on alternative programs saves the state two dollars that would have otherwise been spent on prisons. Such programs include drug court, in which non-violent offenders dealing with drug addiction are closely supervised and required to take random urine tests, and Winnebago County’s Safe Streets Alternative Treatment Program. The Winnebago program allows second- or third-time OWI offenders to participate in a treatment and probation program. According to WISDOM, an umbrella organization of congregation-based groups spearheading the 11-by-15 program, the benefits of alternative treatment go beyond simple cost reduction. Graduates of the programs return to their homes as productive members of society, and the programs have high success

rates, according to the Rev. Joseph Ellwanger. He is an associate minister at Hephatha Lutheran Church in Milwaukee and an organizer for a WISDOM affiliate. “Most of them would go back to their families and to their communities ... capable of holding down a job, capable of paying taxes, capable of raising a family and capable of being a productive citizen,” Ellwanger said. “All of that benefits the community.” Members of Marquette’s campus ministry have expressed excitement about the plan, which associate director Gerry Fischer has described as closely aligned with Catholic values. “Jesus calls us to forgive not just seven times but seventy times seven,” Fischer said. “We often neglect our responsibility socially to address the problems that cause crime to take place.

without really dealing with it.” However, Linda Eggert, the public information director for the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, said the increased funding approach sought by the “11-by-15” plan, though well intentioned, is too simplistic. “This is a very complicated topic that simply throwing more money at isn’t going to solve,” Eggert said. “We spend tremendous money on the courts and all kinds of treatment, everything associated with criminal sentencing. There are continued efforts to look at that area by the DOC, but just getting the state to throw more money into a topic isn’t going to necessarily solve the problem. It’s a multifaceted issue over reducing recidivism (repeated offenses), which is what the DOC is dedicated to doing.”
Apple’s market capitalization topped $500 billion Wednesday, climbing to a mountain peak where few companies have ventured — and none have stayed for long. Apple was already the world’s most valuable company. The gap between it and No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp. has widened rapidly in the past month, as investors have digested Apple’s report of blow-out holiday-season sales of iPhones and iPads. And, more recently, Apple has raised investors’ hopes that it might institute a dividend. The company’s market capitalization was near $506 billion at the market close. Shares rose $7.03, or 1.3 percent, to close at $542.44 Wednesday. On Tuesday, the Cupertino, Calif., company sent out invites to reporters for an event in San Francisco next Wednesday, apparently to reveal its next iPad model. The launch of the new model was expected around this time, a year after the launch of the iPad 2. Apple is in rare company. It is the sixth U.S. corporation to reach the $500 billion milestone, and the only one to be worth that much at current prices. Exxon, now worth $411 billion, was worth just over $500 billion for two short stretches at the end of 2007. Apple’s arch-nemesis Microsoft Corp. was worth just more than $500 billion briefly at the end of 1999, and again in early 2000. It even shot up above $600 billion for one day. The company is now worth $267 billion. Cisco Systems Inc., Intel Corp. and General Electric Co. also peaked just above $500 billion in early 2000. Cisco and Intel are
now worth a bit more than $100 billion each, while GE is worth $200 billion. Exxon’s ascent to the $500 billion level was propelled by record oil prices. Cisco, Intel, Microsoft and GE were boosted by the general stock mania of 1999 and 2000, and the hunger for technology stocks in particular. Apple’s rise, by contrast, is powered by its mammoth sales and profits, which are growing at rates unheard of for a company its size. And despite its sky-high market capitalization, Apple’s shares aren’t expensive compared to its earnings. It’s worth 15 times its earnings for the last year. That compares to 21 times earnings for Google Inc. and 14 times for the S&P 500 overall. Yet few companies in the index grow their earnings as fast as Apple does: In its latest quarter, its earnings rose 118 percent from a year ago, to $13.06 billion. Analysts expect the Apple rally to have some legs. The 35 analysts who have reported to FactSet since Apple’s latest earnings report have set an average price target of $592 per share, or 8 percent higher than Wednesday’s level. That implies a market capitalization of $552 billion. Apple has been helped by a general recovery in the stock market after the doldrums of the financial crisis and the recession. The S&P 500 index has posted its best February performance in 14 years, and on Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 13,000 for the first time since May 2008. Apple’s stock accounts for 3.8 percent of the value of the S&P 500, according to Standard & Poor’s, and it made up 6 percent of the operating income of the 500 companies in the fourth quarter. Analysts say Apple’s sheer size works against its stock price. Apple stock already makes up a large share of the holdings of technology and growth-focused funds, and they have little appetite for more. Meanwhile, value-focused funds are often prevented from buying the shares because the company doesn’t pay a dividend. However, the company has been signaling that a dividend is under consideration, and several analysts now consider it a given that one will be announced this year. Last week, CEO Tim Cook told shareholders at the annual meeting that the company has more money than it needs, and the board and management are thinking “very deeply” about ways to use the cash. Former CEO Steve Jobs, apparently haunted by the company’s lean years in the 90s, had a policy of accumulating cash. The company now sits on $97.6 billion. China’s largest oil company, PetroChina, was briefly worth $1 trillion after it listed on the Shanghai stock exchange in 2007, but only based on its price on that exchange. Its shares also trade in Hong Kong and on the New York Stock Exchange. Based on trading there, its market capitalization has never reached $500 billion.

Ohio teenager uses legally purchased gun, wounds two By Ann Sanner & Thomas J. Sheeran Associated Press
The teenager suspected in an Ohio school shooting struggled with a broken family and did poorly in school, then appeared to turn himself around once he was taken in by grandparents and began to attend an alternative school, longtime neighbors and friends said Wednesday. To a person, they expressed disbelief at how the quiet but friendly boy could now be a suspect in a shooting that left three people dead and appears to have involved a gun that disappeared from his grandfather’s barn. “T.J. was a very fine person,” Carl Henderson, a longtime neighbor of the suspect’s grandparents, Thomas and Michelle Lane, said Wednesday. “Nice-looking man, very friendly, spoke to you, carried a conversation with you.” The gun, a .22 caliber revolver, was noticed as missing after Monday’s shootings and fits the description of the pistol that reportedly was used to kill three students and wound two others at Chardon High School, said Henderson, a retired police officer and former Geauga County sheriff. He said he has spoken to the grandfather, Thomas Lane, about the gun. The suspect’s grandfather believes the gun is the same, “because the gun was there the day before, in the barn,” said Henderson, 74, who says he’s been friends with the boy’s family for nearly 50 years. A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said the gun used in the shooting, a Ruger .22-caliber Mark III target pistol, was bought legally in August 2010 from a gun shop in Mentor, Ohio. The official, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said Lane told authorities he stole gun from his uncle. It wasn’t clear Wednesday whether the gun might have been the same one missing from the grandfather’s barn. Henderson said he isn’t aware of an uncle’s involvement with the gun. Lane, 17, admitted taking a pistol and a knife to the 1,100-student Chardon High and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table, prosecutor David
Joyce said. A police report said 33 officers from around the area responded to what was first described as a “shooting accidental” and was over in less than a minute. Emergency crews from four fire departments also responded, according to the report obtained by the AP through a public records request. The grandparents feel terrible about what happened and have no explanation for the teen’s alleged role in the shootings, Henderson said. Lane came from a broken family but seemed to heal over time, said Henderson, who added that the boy began living with his grandparents off and on several years ago. Lane’s father, Thomas Lane, 40, served seven months in prison in 2003 on charges of disrupting public service and felonious assault, according to state prison records. Messages were left Wednesday at numbers listed for Thomas Lane. Neighbors said he visited his son often, sometimes taking him and his sister camping or to the school to catch the bus. Russ Miller, who also lives near the Nolans, said he has known Lane since the boy was 5 or 6 years old and the grandparents for at least 35 years. He described Lane as an “easy going” person whose grades had improved since he left Chardon High School about a year and a half ago and began attending Lake Academy, a school associated with the local career center. “He went from flunking out from what I understand to almost a straight A student with honors and he was going to graduate a year early,” Miller said. Miller, 64, a retired sheet metal worker, said he had talked to him about joining the military, but the boy hadn’t made plans. “He was a typical 17-year-old,” said Miller, a Vietnam veteran. “He didn’t really know what he wanted to do in his life.” He said Lane didn’t smoke, drink or do drugs and was “kind of a health nut.” About 55 students attend Lake Academy, a 15-year-old school for students who haven’t done well in traditional schools. The school, about 15 miles away from Chardon in Willoughby, has security measures including electronically controlled doors and surveillance cameras but no metal detectors. School officials declined to comment Wednesday. Another neighbor on Wednesday described T.J. Lane as a normal boy who excelled in school and played outside often with his sister, building snow hills and skateboarding. Steve Sawczak said he never
would have allowed his own grandchildren to play nearby if he thought anything was wrong with the teenager. Sawczak lives next door to Lane’s other grandfather, Jack Nolan, who has familial custody of the suspect and attended his court hearing Tuesday. “We’re all absolutely stunned,” Sawczak said. “He’s an average kind of kid.” Sawczak, 58, a pastor who has worked with troubled children, said he never saw hints of what was coming. A next-door neighbor of Lane’s grandparents for almost 25 years, he said the couple, who have custody of the teen, gave Lane a healthy place to live. They often took them to school events. “They are in shock,” Sawczak said. “They are absolutely devastated.” At Chardon High, the faculty parking lot was jammed Wednesday as teachers returned to the school for the first time since Monday’s shooting, with grief counselors on hand, if needed. Parents and students are encouraged to return to the school Thursday, and classes resume Friday. Students planned to march together to the school Thursday from the main square about three-quarters of a mile away, along a street where red ribbons were tied to all the trees. Hundreds of residents turned out for a vigil Tuesday evening at St. Mary Catholic Church to pray and hear Scripture readings, while overhead banners from a rival high school contained signatures from other students showing their support. Lane, a thin young man described by other students as extremely quiet, appeared briefly in juvenile court Tuesday. He spoke little, and a judge ordered him held for at least 15 days. Prosecutors have until Thursday to bring charges and are expected to ask that Lane be tried as an adult. He will probably be charged with three counts of aggravated murder and other offenses, Joyce said. Joyce described suspect Lane as “someone who’s not well” and said the teen didn’t know the victims but chose them randomly. Killed were Demetrius Hewlin, 16, Russell King Jr., 17, and Daniel Parmertor, 16. An 18-year-old girl who was hurt in the shootings was released from the hospital Tuesday and was home with family. The girl’s family declined to comment Wednesday. The second injured teen remained in serious condition at a suburban Cleveland hospital.

GOP leaders each get 13 Mich. delegates

Romney also picks up 29 after strong win in Ariz. Tuesday By Kasie Hunt Asscoiated Press
Rick Santorum seized about as many of Michigan’s GOP delegates as primary winner Mitt Romney, and could end up with more, in a close contest that does little to clarify the muddled presidential race heading into Super Tuesday. After Romney’s strong win in Arizona and close finish in his native state of Michigan, the GOP field fanned across Ohio, Tennessee and Georgia for the weeklong sprint to Tuesday’s 10 contests. Washington state’s caucuses fall in the middle, on Saturday. Romney tried to build momentum from his wins, Santorum crowed about his near-miss and Newt Gingrich looked to revive his campaign in the South — where he will battle Santorum for the party’s most conservative voters. Texas Rep. Ron Paul could also
be a factor in the Super Tuesday delegate count, especially in caucus states such as North Dakota. Tuesday night’s Michigan race was so close — Romney won the contest with 41 percent of the vote to Santorum’s 38 percent — that the delegates will be closely divided between the top two candidates, with Gingrich and Paul getting none. With 26 of the state’s 30 delegates decided, Romney and Santorum each won 13. Results that will determine the distribution of the final four delegates were incomplete Wednesday. But Santorum held a slight edge that would give him the majority of Michigan’s delegates, if it holds. Campaigning at Temple Baptist Church in Powell, Tenn., on Wednesday, Santorum said he was heartened by his success in Romney’s backyard. “We had a much better night in Michigan than maybe was first reported. This was a really great race to go into, in a sense, the belly of the beast, the hometown of my chief rival here in the Republican primary,” he said. In addition to Tennessee, the former Pennsylvania senator is focusing on the big prizes of Ohio and

Oklahoma next week. Chastened by the tough fight in the state where his father was governor in the 1960s, Romney acknowledged in Michigan that he had made mistakes and was trying to “do better and work harder.” “We didn’t win by a lot, but we won by enough,” he told supporters Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Romney focused on the economy and business know-how, saying at a fence post factory in Toledo that he wants “to go to work for the American worker.” He promised about 150 supporters “more jobs, less debt and smaller government” if he’s elected in November. Romney was making another stop, in Bexley, before leaving Ohio for North Dakota, which holds caucuses Tuesday. In Atlanta, Gingrich acknowledged that he must win Georgia — the state he represented in Congress for 20 years — to “move forward” with his campaign. With Gov. Nathan Deal at his side, Gingrich predicted he would win “decisively.” But the other states Gingrich is focusing on, such as Tennessee and Oklahoma, will be tougher.
Paul, who keeps a less grueling campaign schedule than the others, was flying home to Texas to celebrate his wife Carol’s leapyear birthday on Wednesday. On Super Tuesday, 419 delegates are up for grabs in states also including Alaska, Idaho, Massachusetts, Vermont and Virginia. All four campaigns face financial strain: It would cost about $5 million to run a week’s worth of heavy ads across all the states that vote Tuesday. The Super Tuesday races could go a long way toward determining which Republican will take on Democratic President Barack Obama this fall. Romney’s Arizona triumph came in a race that was scarcely contested, and he pocketed the 29 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in the winner-take-all state. He won 47 percent of the vote to Santorum’s 27 percent. Michigan’s primary was as different as it could be — a hardfought and expensive contest that Romney could ill afford to lose and Santorum made every effort to win. With his twin victories, Romney had 165 delegates,
you have something in your teeth.
according to an Associated Press count, compared with 85 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul. It takes 1,144 to win the nomination at the convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer. The lengthening GOP struggle to pick a nominee has coincided with a rise in Obama’s prospects for a second term. A survey released Tuesday shows consumer confidence at the highest level in a year, and other polls show an increase in Americans saying they believe the country is on the right track. Unopposed for the Democratic nomination, Obama timed a campaign-style appearance before United Auto Workers Union members in Washington, D.C., for the same day as the Michigan primary. Attacking Republicans, he said assertions that union members profited from a taxpayer-paid rescue of the auto industry in 2008 are a “load of you know what.” All the Republicans running for the White House opposed the bailout. But in the auto state of Michigan a survey of voters leaving polling places showed about 4 in 10 supported it.

“Once the ownership transfers, the plan is for the theaters to remain open,” Carter said. “(Hollis) is a former owner. He was very interested and is a logical choice.” Marquette professor of finance and Bell Real Estate chair Mark Eppli reiterated that foreclosures have been a problem nationwide since the economy turned south. “Banks lent too much on risky projects and are incurring a lot of the problems today,” Eppli said. “They ended up concentrating a lot on commercial loans. Regulators said that they had to get that debt off the books.” Eppli said it’s understandable that the Times and Rosebud fell prey to the conditions. “The value of the land probably took a significant hit,” Eppli said. “It’s hard to get a loan.” College of Communication lecturer Patrick McGilligan agreed that the theaters’ troubles were related to economic conditions but disagreed about

With only half a semester left of college and the “last” of everything coming up, I’m doing my best to slowly cut my Milwaukee ties with grace and let my excitement for the future outshine my fear. At a time when my grip on my life’s direction is loosening, I’ve found that the little choices I am free to make have had major effects on my outlook. Here are my top five small changes that are making a big difference: 1. Dancing without touching By this, I do not mean leaving room for the Holy Ghost, but rather dancing like two able-minded humans instead of zoo animals. Friday night, I was at a Wicker Park bar with a modest dance floor and two DJs playing Bo Diddley and Tom Petty – hardly the place for a grind fest, but sure enough, there were a few flagbearers. Two Cuban dance artists kept forcing themselves behind my girlfriends and me so aggressively that at one point, one of them grabbed my ponytail when I started to leave. Luckily, we broke free from the vultures and found solace next to some sophisticated guys whose moves didn’t include grating their belt buckles into our spines. Much more fun. 2. Watching the morning news Months ago, my roommate and I decided to get rid of our TV, and by that I mean we let it sit in the corner of our living room for months without touching it after I somehow mangled the cable box cords into a terrifying mess. After killing time with books and filling dead air with music for a semester and a half, I started missing the Real Housewives and the Wonder Years. So this past weekend, I cleaned up my mess behind the television set and as the sun dawned in on my anxious Sunday all-nighter, I turned on the TODAY Show. Seeing the cast of The Artist interviewed — still wearing their tuxes and gowns from the Oscar afterparties — was an extraordinary reminder that the world was carrying on just fine
elsewhere. 3. Mixing up the days Saturday night, a friend and I saw “The Descendants” and planned to grab a beer across the street afterwards to see where the night took us. When we emerged from the theatre with mascara running down our cheeks, however, we decided it best to bag two lattes from Alterra and call it a night. The following Monday, we went to Caffrey’s for trivia, had a few beers too many and caught up with some friends we hadn’t seen. A little backwards, but it works, and as someone who’s prone to routines and a general Thursday-throughSaturday alcohol policy, it’s a fortifying remedy. 4. Buying without bias Over the years, friends have noticed my preference for oversized sweatshirts, fuss-free jewelry and tall boots that allow for mismatched socks. A lack of style has indeed become my style. But when I went thrifting on Sunday, I bypassed the women’s clothes where I usually spend all my time and pawed through racks of men’s coats and sweaters. I ended up spending my grocery money on a worn letterman’s jacket that looks nothing like me, but that I love regardless. 5. Tuning into the radio When at work, I usually try passing the time by listening to “Raspberry Beret” seven thousand times. Amazingly, my brain still works well enough to give me the recent idea of listening to live streams of my favorite radio shows. Chicago’s Lin Brehmer (93 WXRT) hosts a hilarious five-minute show every morning based on listener’s questions, and NPR’s Fresh Air offers different news themes every day. If it’s not clear by now, I’m a fan of monotony, and this needs to change before I graduate and every comfort is swept from under my feet. But for right now, something as simple as listening to songs I didn’t choose is about all the practice I can handle. After spending four years in the same place, it’s easy to feel like everything has been seen, every hang-out has been exhausted and every day is just a task to be crossed off. In certain way, it’s true. I’m ready to pack up my stuff and conquer a new city — but not until I know I’ve savored every detail of college, whether on the dance floor or in my cubicle. bridget.gamble@marquette.edu

Chill, Stressy McStressington
Ian Yakob Oh hi. I’ve got a free test for stress for you, if you answer the following: Are you stressed? (Check yes, no, or maybe.) If you selected yes, then you are indeed stressed. Bummer. Could have fooled me. But at least the test wasn’t too bad. Unless you think a free stress test is actually stressful because it’s a test. If so, sorry about that. Stress is something that constantly hovers above our heads. I’ve already used some form of the word six times. If you went back and counted, you’re one paranoid son of a jackal. Anyway, some people like to say that if you don’t put pressure on yourself you’ll never find out what you can accomplish. Those are just words. Stress still stinks.

exercising can’t be replaced by Red Bulls or any other color bulls. Your brain will make up that lost time twice over. And if you don’t do well on your exams, at least you looked good doing it. In the end, of course, instead of picking something stupid to be stressed about, we pick something stupid to help us deal with it. I doubt I’m the only one peeved by the ever-popular stress reaction of distracting ourselves with Facebook and Twitter. It’s way past the point of being self-defeating when we deal with stress by announcing our stress from atop the social media mountain. Recognize this status? “It’s 4 a.m., why am I awake?” Clearly you’re awake because you have a bright screen shining in your face. If it’s 4 a.m., why are you on Facebook? At least waste time making funny Marquette related memes or something. But really, I’m not here to pretend that things we stress about aren’t ever going to go away. If there’s something that’s freaking you out because of how significant you presume it to be, then it probably is important. You should take care of that. As for me, I’m all stressed out.

white-wall galleries,” Shannon Molter, MAM’s education department assistant, said. Pixar donated the original
clay sculptures of Russell, the inquisitive and somewhat nosy boy scout from “Up,” for kids to practice sketching with the provided supplies. “Everywhere you look there is something you did not notice before,” Laura Fanning, 34, said. She and her two sons, ages 9 and 11, spent the majority of their visit in the generation lab. Her boys waited all month for it to open, she said. The lab’s theme, “Museum from the Inside Out,” literally taught children about the inner-workings of being a museum curator, preparatory and restorer. One activity looked like a desk-sized iTouch. It allowed kids to x-ray a historic painting and pick their favorite. It was hard not to laugh watching parents chase their children around the lab. They fervently pulled out hidden drawers, pressed buttons on screens and touched just about everything. “That was really the goal with these new shows; they can exist without any real help from an educator,” Molter said. Even so, it was a good thing that educational assistants still patrolled the exhibitions.
Who else would help parents understand the complexity of the 100-frame stop motion movie-maker? With the press of a green button and arrangement of provided tinker toys, kids could create their very own short film. Once they were finished, they could email it to themselves. Education or innovation? “It’s been amazing to watch kids walk in and just get it,” said Jen Arpin, MAM’s youth and family programs educator. “It’s instinctual.” But it isn’t all gadgets and touch-screens. That’s where the generation studio comes into play. Paint, paper, pencils, sharpies, sticks and feathers are plentiful in the colorful — and chaotic — art-making room. “Adults come here to make art work with their kids,” Molter said. “Not only is it just for children but really for families to interact to make something together.” One project option was to create Kevin, the silly bird from “Up.” But maybe you’d rather paint colorful circles, or get glue stuck in your hair. Not to worry. Anything goes in the education center. Now try and say you don’t “get” art.

Navy SEALs-led ‘Act of Valor’ more like a misfire Film featuring real soldiers plays more like a video game By Matt Mueller matthew.mueller@marquette.edu
Between “Act of Valor” and my equally hypercritical review of George Lucas’s hokey Tuskegee Airmen tribute, “Red Tails,” people might be getting the idea that I have strong feelings against the military. Let’s get this out of the way now: I have nothing but respect for our armed forces. They are a collection of men and women braver and stronger than I will ever be, and what they do for our country is immeasurable. What I don’t respect are bad movies, and unfortunately, that is exactly what “Act of Valor” is. The film follows a band of Navy SEALs as they attempt to

One parachuting scene, ence is transported to the location in particular, could have been
exciting, but since it’s filmed in the black of night, it’s hard to tell if we’re watching a formation of Navy SEALS or a flock of seagulls. It’s not a good sign when the audience wants the film to move on due to reasons of eyestrain. “Act of Valor’s” other main gimmick is the use of actual Navy SEALs in the starring roles. The SEALs, who go unbilled, obviously are not on board for their acting skills, which are wooden at best. However, even Meryl Streep would struggle to bring these cliché and clumsy characters to life. The characters are lazily introduced with on-screen text boxes, and the script switches between dull war movie clichés and wordy exposition that leaves the audience more confused than enlightened. Not that the audience is all that invested in the characters, who after their introductions have a total of about three nonmission related lines. The only two characters given any sem-
blance of personality are made up of clichés that were tedious back when John Wayne was making movies. For instance, a lieutenant keeps endlessly talking about his expecting wife in a manner that screams ‘I will inevitably die for dramatic effect.’ What the presence of the SEALs could have brought to “Act of Valor” was an air of reality to the project. The audience, however, only gets fleeting glimpses of the reality and intricate detail of the SEALs’ work. The use of a second ‘catcher’ position on a sniping mission or a tan flap of fabric on a camera in order to hide the lens’s glare are nifty details. These tiny elements are the most interesting parts of “Act of Valor,” but when a glorified lens cap is the best aspect of a movie, I don’t think it merits a recommendation. Much like the Tuskegee Airmen from “Red Tails,” the Navy SEALs deserve a better tribute than an extended “Call of Duty” cutscene.

Media business sadly still a man’s world
Sarah Elms A few weeks ago, I watched the film “Miss Representation” in my communications class, Race and Gender in Mass Media. The title of the 2011 Sundance documentary accurately reflects the issues the film brings to light: how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in the United States and the ways in which these women are perceived. I am both a woman and someone pursuing a career in journalism, which is part of the mass media, so I considered myself to be fairly well-versed in the issues surrounding “Miss Representation” before I even walked into the screening. Ninety minutes later, I was left surprised and, truthfully, a little shaken up. Sure, I know men hold more positions of power than women in the media, and it is no secret that women are constantly shown as skinny, blemish-free, sexualized characters. All this is frustrating, but I was shocked by the statistics illustrated in the film.
I learned that women hold only 3 percent of clout positions in telecommunications, entertainment, publishing and advertising in the United States and comprise only 16 percent of all writers, directors, producers, cinematographers and editors. As a woman working to make a career out of writing, editing and publishing, these numbers are more than a little disconcerting. “Miss Representation” writer, director and producer Jennifer Siebel Newsom includes interviews with a slew of politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists, academics and teenagers throughout the film, along with startling clips from mainstream American media outlets. The viewer is bombarded with music video clips of glistening, half-naked women, print ads of woman portrayed as objects, segments of TV shows like “Toddlers and Tiaras” and headlines like New York Magazine’s “The Bitch and The Ditz” (aka Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin). These are the representations that men and women are socialized with in our great nation. It’s no wonder women only comprise 17 percent of Congress yet make up 51 percent of the United States population. I don’t understand how women and minorities can still be so severely under-represented in a country built on the fundamental principle of “liberty and justice for all.” I often catch myself saying, “It’s
2012, people,” like that is supposed to mean something significant. For me, it used to mean that it isn’t the 1930s anymore, and it should be second nature in such a progressive and intelligent society as ours that women are equal to men and should be portrayed and thought of as such. Alas, 2012 is nowhere near what I would call progressive. I am not making light of the significant strides we have made as a society, but I am saying we are moving too slow. Just last night, Empowerment Marquette and Marquette Student Government hosted a free screening of “Miss Representation,” followed by a discussion about the way in which the media portrays women, as part of Feminism Week. If you missed it, I highly recommend you take an hour and a half out of your day and watch it with your full attention. Whether you are male or female, I guarantee you’ll learn something from it, and that something will likely be an ugly truth most Americans don’t want to admit: that this under-representation and misrepresentation of women in our society is a fact, not a matter of perspective. As discouraging as that may sound, “Miss Representation” also gives everyone — male or female, media professional or not — a much-needed push to change not only the way we portray women in positions of power and influence, but the way we
think about them as human beings. Katie Couric, former CBS Evening News anchor, said it best: “The media can be an instrument of change: It can maintain the status quo and reflect the views
of the society, or it can hopefully awaken people and change minds. I think it depends on who’s piloting the plane.” sarah.elms@marquette.edu

Harlem Renaissance plays on in Milwaukee Next Act Theatre breathes life into oft-forgotten era By Vanessa Harris vanessa.harris@marquette.edu

‘1984’ still delivers a social sting in 2012

Winston (Christopher Elst) is tortured by members of the Party in Project Empty Space and Bad Example Productions’ rendition of “1984” at the Alchemist Theatre in Bay View.
The play backtracks through the novel’s chronology by immediately starting the story in an interrogation room. The audience never leaves the interrogation, but Winston’s story is illustrated through this torturous questioning process.

novel as a social commentary of the Soviet Union during the 1940s, Kaye believes the story’s message is certainly pertinent today. “The famous saying ‘Big Brother is watching’ is maybe a little neurotic and vicious but the possibility is out there,” Kaye said. “Where our society is with iPads and the Internet, we have a desire to be part of the world. It’s so much easier to be watched.” The story’s fear of government censorship feels even more relevant with recent attempts to pass unpopular Internet legislation, such as the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act. Many internet users feel that SOPA and PIPA
will stifle the Internet’s identity as a space of open and free information. The book’s stage adaptation removes the identity and individuality of characters. Most characters do not have names but are referred to only by letters. Winston is one of the few characters with an actual name. The Party members of the interrogation use drastic methods to strip
Winston of his humanity. “(The interrogation) breaks him down emotionally, physically, mentally and sexually,” Kaye said. Kaye said that the Alchemist Theatre added a torture method that was more current with modern interrogation practices. He would not comment on what it was as to not ruin the surprise. “I squirm in my seat every night (that I watch it). But it doesn’t last long because we don’t want to torture the audience,” Kaye said. Kaye says the show has a sense of emotional immediacy. He commented that the Alchemist Theatre has a tendency to have an element of horror in its productions, but the company still does comedy exceptionally well. This show gives the audience a reprieve from the emotional intensity with comedic and romantic moments. “1984” is sure to be tantalizing and brutal but also thought-provoking, pushing audiences to take a look at what our own government stands for.

Golden Eagles come crashing back to earth
Seniors and fans looking for victory
Johnson-Odom, Crowder combine for 35 of 61 points By Michael Wottreng michael.wottreng@marquette.edu
Marquette went into Wednesday night winners of 12 of its last 13 games, including six wins overcoming double-digit deficits. It seemed as though it was a matter of time before a large comeback would not be in the cards for the Golden Eagles. That time was last night. Marquette (24-6, 13-3 Big East) ran into a Cincinnati (21-9, 11-6 Big East) team on senior night that was trying to cement its NCAA Tournament bid. The Golden Eagles led by a basket at the first media timeout, but the Bearcats dominated from that point on in a 72-61 victory. Cincinnati ended the first half on a 35-17 run, anchored by a pair of role players. Junior guard Jaquon Parker hit a 3-pointer as time expired in the first half en route to a career-high 28 points on 10-of-18 shooting and seven rebounds. Parker picked up the slack from senior forward Yancy Gates, who played just four minutes in the first half after picking up his second foul just 3:44 into the first half.
Gates finished with just six points, half as many as his season average, but ripped down 13 rebounds, including five on the offensive end in just 23 total minutes. Sophomore forward Justin Jackson made his impact on the defensive end after Gates had to sit on the bench in the first half with his two fouls. Jackson rejected a career-high seven blocks and affected numerous others, while also chipping in six points and four rebounds in just 13 minutes. The Golden Eagles struggled all night against a zone defense that Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin changed out of in a Marquette stomping of the Bearcats in Milwaukee on Feb 11. “I was going to stay in it tonight no matter what happened,” Cronin said of his decision to play zone for 40 minutes. “The fans may have been booing, but I wasn’t coming out of it.” Senior forward Jae Crowder and senior guard Darius Johnson-Odom scored a combined 35 points on 11-for-27 (40.7 percent) shooting, but the rest of the Golden Eagles simply did not pick up the slack. The rest of the Marquette squad scored 26 points and shot a combined 10-of-35 (28.6 percent) from the floor. “Our defense is tied to our offense and if we’re taking the
ball out of the net, we’re not going to be near as good,” Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. “Our offensive efficiency is tied to our defensive efficiency and we were really poor in that regard.” Johnson-Odom cited the fact that team wasn’t happy with the effort it gave on offense or defense. “We weren’t very aggressive on either side of the court,” Johnson Odom said. “Everybody’s a little frustrated.” The biggest difference between the two matchups was Cincinnati’s seven turnovers that did not allow Marquette to get easy buckets. The Bearcats turned the ball over 14 times in the teams first meeting. “We took care of the ball,” Cronin said. “You have to take care of the basketball against Marquette. They are the fastest team in the country, but you didn’t see that tonight because of our zone. We tried to make them take their time.” Marquette will need to force turnovers against a Georgetown team that is one of best at protecting the basketball on senior day Saturday at the Bradley Center. The Hoyas turn the ball over just 12.6 times per game, good for just ninth in the Big East, but had just 11 turnovers in a 59-41 win over Notre Dame on Monday.
Matt Trebby This Marquette basketball team has done a lot this season that it hasn’t in a while. Or ever. The Golden Eagles won their first preseason tournament since 2006. They reached 13 wins in the Big East for the first time. They, more than likely, will have two All-Big East First Team players for the first time, and should have the Big East Player of the Year for the first time. Buzz Williams and his team mention the list of goals they have for this season, and how it is quite a lengthy one. The last one before the start of the Big East Tournament has to be “win on Senior Day at the Bradley Center.” As a junior, I’ve seen two painful losses on Senior Day, to Notre Dame (in overtime) two years ago and last year to Cincinnati. This season’s Senior Day match-up is probably the toughest of the three, as the Golden Eagles host its Jesuit counterparts, No. 11 Georgetown.
Marquette blew a 17-point second half lead in Washington, D.C., earlier this year against the Hoyas, allowing them to come back and win 73-70, so there will be plenty of motivation to avenge that defeat. But this team shouldn’t need to think about that. All it should think about is avoiding the feeling from last year’s loss to Cincinnati on Senior Day. It was a game where Jimmy Butler put up career numbers, scoring 30 points out of sheer necessity. Butler got little help from the rest of his team, which combined matched Butler’s total of 30. The season before — when Lazar Hayward, David Cubillan and Maurice Acker were seniors — the Golden Eagles were up by seven over Notre Dame with 1:02 left in the game when the Fighting Irish came storming back, tying the game with two seconds left via a three-pointer from Carlton Scott. Marquette never led in overtime, losing 61-58. Now this group of seniors, Jae Crowder and Darius JohnsonOdom, has a difficult test on Saturday afternoon in a game that still has postseason implications. The Golden Eagles already have a double bye in the Big East Tournament locked up but can finish an incredible 15-3 in conference play. They’re also still fighting to gain a two seed in the NCAA See Seniors, page 20

Team feels like it has momentum Despite six game losing streak, MU ready for tourney By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu
Photo by A. Martina Ibanez/angela.ibanez-baldor@marquette.edu
Sophomore forward Jamil Wilson finished with nine points and four rebounds in MU’s 72-61 loss at Cincinnati.
It’s hard to argue that a team could have any kind of momentum after ending its regular season on a six-game losing streak, but the Marquette Golden Eagles believe just that. Marquette’s 4-12 Big East record warranted the 14th seed in the conference tournament, and the Golden Eagles now face an uphill battle steeper that any they have faced this season for a shot at the NIT. Starting with 11th-seeded Cincinnati this Friday, the Golden Eagles would need victories over both Rutgers and Connecticut just to advance to the semifinals. While the Golden Eagles are fresh off matchups with all three of these teams, the results weren’t satisfying. After Marquette dropped its final contest at Rutgers 69-58 on Monday, sophomore forward Katherine Plouffe was convinced her team had taken a big stride
and had finally put out a solid, albeit losing, performance. “That Rutgers game was a big step for our team collectively,” Plouffe said. “It was a loss, and we still are not going to settle for losses, but we really got some momentum heading into the tournament.” Despite the loss, the Golden Eagles did put on a much better shooting performance than they had Saturday in an 85-45 loss to Connecticut. Marquette shot 21.4 percent from the floor that day but opened the Rutgers game making 55.5 percent of their field goals in the first half, finishing the game at 42.9 percent. Plouffe herself went five for seven to finish with 11 points against the Scarlet Knights after struggling against the Huskies’ frontcourt defense, making only four of her 16 attempts. Plouffe said she’s been working on trying to take pressure off herself and letting shots flow naturally rather that forcing them, but with that she needs her teammates to fill in. “I’ve been working with my post coach Ashley (Earley) on getting good position and increasing my ability to score,” Plouffe said. “If I’m not hitting and my See Momentum, page 20

Three keys, players to watch against a stingy Georgetown A win would clinch No. 2 seed in Big East Tournament Let’s get one thing out of the way right off the bat. NASCAR is not a sport. I don’t care how much G-force is placed on the drivers going 200 miles per hour, sitting in a car and turning a wheel left 600 times is not and never will be a sport. With that out of the way, how ‘bout that race on Sunday? Er, Monday. I mean Tuesday. The 54th running of the Daytona 500 is one that won’t be soon forgotten, but not for the right reasons. Instead, it will be remembered for a bizarre set of events that made this the never-ending race. For starters, some of NASCAR’s biggest names — or so I’m told — were done before the first lap was even complete after Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon crashing in the first lap. Then there was the rain delay that postponed the race from Sunday afternoon to Monday night and when they finally got
racing on Monday, one of the strangest accidents in racing history occurred: Juan Pablo Montoya crashed into — wait for it — a jet dryer, spilling 200 gallons of jet fuel onto the track and turning the track into a flaming inferno. How did the crews get the fuel off the track? By using Tide, of course. For over two hours, crews scrub-a-dub-dubbed Tide until all remnants of the jet fuel had left. By this time it was already 11 p.m. EST, and by the time the carnage of crashes had concluded, Tuesday had reared its pretty face. Thankfully we can now get back to our regularly scheduled programming of not watching toy cars go around in circles for another year.

Keys to the game 1. Defensive focus: Georgetown’s Princeton offense involves constant cutting, screens and backdoor passes. With some of the best passing big men in the country, all five Marquette defenders will need to be on their toes the entire 35 seconds. In their 7370 victory on Jan. 4, the Hoyas produced 18 assists on 27 made baskets. Center Henry Sims, the team’s leader in assists, dished out five helpers.
With so many passes on a given possession — and no true point guard — the Hoyas are vulnerable to turn the ball over. Marquette has feasted on opponents’ turnovers and will need to do so to score easy buckets against a stifling Georgetown defense. This will be no easy task, as the Hoyas have an array of shooters, post players and ball handlers to create one of the most balanced offenses in the country. 2. Senior play: Marquette has ridden seniors Darius Johnson-Odom and Jae Crowder all year and could very well do so late into March, but there is added incentive on Saturday. Buzz Williams has lost his last three Senior Day games, and one could argue this year’s senior class has been more valuable than any senior class under Williams. Both Crowder (17 points, eight rebounds) and Johnson-Odom (18
points, four 3-pointers) had solid nights in the crushing loss to the Hoyas, but a dominating performance would be a fitting way for the duo to leave the Bradley Center. 3. Take good shots: This would seem obvious against any opponent, but it’s worth noting even further against the Hoyas. Georgetown has been the most efficient defensive team in the Big East this year, and its man-to-man defense has been a nightmare for opponents. On Monday, Notre Dame shot 33 percent from the field and scored just 41 points against the Hoyas defense. Marquette was able to score 70 points in the January loss, but the Hoyas’ defense is surging right now, and Marquette will need to find open looks and not force anything.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
andrei.greska@marquette.edu
Every little bit counts
Jason Clark
The senior leader had a huge night against the Marquette defense in the first matchup, scoring 18 of his 26 points in the second half comeback. He is the point guard by default but is better on the wing and attacking the basket. He has made almost 49 percent of his shots on the year, has averaged 1.5 3-pointers per game and is seventh in the Big East in steals (1.7 per game). Clark also ranks in the top 20 in points per game (14.5). Like Jae Crowder, Clark does a little bit of everything for the Hoyas.
Henry Sims
There may not be a better passing big man in the country, but Sims can do much more than find open cutters from the elbow. The 6-foot10 center is averaging 11.3 points and 5.5 rebounds on the year. He was efficient against the Golden Eagles in January, scoring 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting and added two steals and two blocks in the win. There is hope sophomore forward Davante Gardner can log a handful of minutes against the Hoyas, but sophomore forward Jamil Wilson is the better fit to guard Sims, who plays at the free throw line as much as he does in the post.
Hollis Thompson
Marquette fans will remember Thompson for his gamewinning 3-pointer back in January, but he has struggled lately. In his last three games, Thompson has averaged 7.6 points on 33 percent shooting but has contributed with 7.0 rebounds per game in his last six contests. He is a tough matchup as a 6-foot-8 shooter, and sophomore guard Vander Blue likely will draw the defensive assignment. Keeping Thompson from heating up on the perimeter will be important.

Notre Dame becoming the class of the Big East When Notre Dame lost to Texas A&M in the national championship game last year, many people thought the Fighting Irish could not repeat their performance, not with Connecticut in the way. Instead, the Fighting Irish clinched their first outright Big East regular season championship with a 72-59 victory over the Huskies Monday night. The odds were stacked against Notre Dame (28-2, 15-1 Big East), who needed overtime to knock off Connecticut (26-4, 13-3), 74-67 in South Bend in early January. The Fighting Irish had never won at the XL Center in Hartford, and Connecticut had a chance to clinch a share of the Big East title. Any fan would assume that the Huskies would answer the bell, but this year was different. Notre Dame looks like the only team that could hang with the No. 1 ranked and undefeated Baylor Bears, though the Fighting Irish lost by 13 points at Baylor in midNovember. The Bears rely heavily on national player of the year candidate Britney Griner, but Notre Dame is more of a team-oriented unit. Four Fighting Irish players average double figures in scoring and no player averages more than 30 minutes a game. The class of the Big East may be swaying toward the team in South Bend rather than the one in Hartford. Since 2000, Notre Dame has more wins than any other team in America. The Fighting Irish are one of five teams with more than three wins against the Huskies since the start of the century. Connecticut can silence the critics with a championship run on their home court in the Big East Tournament this week. Unfortunately for the Huskies, Notre Dame may be waiting for another chance to silence the big dogs. Upsets could dominate the Big East Tournament The women’s Big East Tournament has been one of the most
predictable brackets in all of sports. Connecticut has dominated the tournament since 2005, winning six of the seven championships. The Huskies’ only loss in seven years was in the championship game to Rutgers in 2007. The Scarlet Knights lost in the national championship game to Tennessee that season. This year’s tournament is filled with a few under-the-radar teams. Second-seeded St. John’s is riding a wave of momentum, winning eight consecutive games. Four of those eight wins were against teams that finished in the top six of the final league standings. Three of the four wins were on the road against ranked opponents, including putting a halt to Connecticut’s 99-game home winning streak. Four Red Storm players average double figures in scoring and three
of those four players have earned Big East weekly honors at least once this season. If the Red Storm do not win the title, the champion may have to go through them. There are elite teams at the top of the standings and weak teams at the bottom of the Big East, but the middle of the pack is relatively strong. DePaul has been ranked in the top 25 most of the season but finished eighth in the conference. Fourthseeded Georgetown has spent most of the season in the top 15. Fifth-seeded West Virginia is the only team in the conference to beat Notre Dame. The Mountaineers knocked off the Fighting Irish, 6563 in South Bend three weeks ago. Connecticut has dominated the conference for the last decade, but this may be the year the Big East Tournament on the women’s side can match the madness of the men’s tournament.
