MU tuition now running on ‘E’ University signals shift to donations funding budget By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu
Signs around campus last week advertised for “Tuition Runs Out Day,” sponsored by University Advancement. Unfortunately for students, those signs were not signaling it was time to do away with tuition bills, but rather that the collective amount paid by students has now run out and the university is operating on donations and gifts from alumni. The out-of-pocket cost – the cost borne by students – to attend the university covers only 62 percent of the university’s budget. Last year the university received $215.7 million in revenue from tuition and fees after scholarships. The total university operating budget for the year was $355.4 million. The projected numbers for 2012 are similar with a total operating budget of $363.7 million and net tuition revenues of $215.7 million. Filling most of that gap is alumni and donor support. Last year, nearly 27,000 individuals made gifts to the university, totaling more than $54 million. That alumni and donor support accounts for 19 percent of the operating budget. A portion of that alumni and donor support also funds
scholarships granted by the university. In 2011, Marquette gave $91 million in scholarships to students, $16 million of which was funded by alumni and donor support. The other $75 million in tuition discounts was unfunded and came out of the capital budget. Furthermore, in 2011, 96 percent of students received some form of aid from the university. The University Advancement held Tuition Runs Out Day to spread awareness of the university’s financial situation. The office picked a day about 62 percent of the way through the school year to further emphasize the time when tuition stops funding the university. Michael Kelly, an advancement officer in University Advancement, said Tuition Runs Out Day was made to educate students about the finances of the university and to get students talking. The main event was a table in the Alumni Memorial Union for students to write thank-you cards to Marquette donors for their support. Kelly said that 508 students wrote a thank you card. “It was more than we anticipated,” Kelly said. He said the university has not decided how the thank-you cards will be distributed. “They will most likely go to first-time donors,” Kelly said. “We want them to know how much we See Tuition, page 5

Telling ‘Vagina Monologues’

Play addresses women’s sexuality, domestic violence By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu
Slippery roads, snowy sidewalks and a dip in temperature didn’t slow the production of “The Vagina Monologues” Friday evening in the Alumni Memorial Union Ballrooms, where 12 Marquette women performed scenes from the controversial play and answered questions from a responsive audience following the show.
“The Vagina Monologues,” organized by Empowerment, Marquette’s feminist student organization, have been performed by Marquette students for eight years, although last year marked the first on-campus production since 2007. The show was temporarily banned due to Marquette’s regulations on what is deemed inappropriate or in opposition to the Jesuit university’s mission. Last year, as a compromise, the production was allowed back on campus on the conditions that it had an academic sponsor and an audience response session following the monologues. Roberta Coles, social and cultural sciences department chair, chose to take the job on behalf of her de-
partment for the past two years. Coles said allowing the monologues is a big step for Marquette. “In the last few years, campus administrators have come to realize that these monologues, developed from the experiences of real women, are a powerful and meaningful medium for women of all ages to speak for their own individual rights (as a sexually equal being deserving of respect) as well of those of women worldwide whose wellbeing and value are violated and demeaned on a daily basis,” Coles said in an email. The award-winning play is based See Monologues, page 5
Al McGuire’s son elected to board of trustees Former MU basketball player among four alumni joining administrative body By Erin Caughey erin.caughey@marquette.edu
On March 1, four Marquette alumni were elected to the board of trustees, including Alfred McGuire, son of legendary men’s basketball coach Al McGuire.

More in school choice graduate high school, report says By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu
Students in Milwaukee’s school voucher program are outperforming public school students in reading and graduation rates, according to a study by the School Choice Administration Project at the University of Arkansas. The 2010-2011 school year was the fifth year of the study, which tested the same sample students during that time frame. John Witte, one of the researchers on the study and a political science and public affairs professor at the University of WisconsinMadison, explained the study’s methods. “We picked the baseline group in 2006 and followed the students for five years thereafter,” Witte said. “We did a random sample of voucher students, then picked a control group in the Milwaukee Public Schools by matching (the voucher students) to (public school students) by similar neighborhoods and baseline test scores in 2006, and then took into account their gender and race, things that cannot be measured very well.” The evaluation concluded that when these students were

compared, the growth of voucher students was higher than that of public school students in reading and math. The report also showed that students in the voucher program graduate high school and attend four-year colleges at higher rates. “(The report showed) higher reading scores, graduation rates and enrollment in four year schools, and the students are also staying in college, which is really important,” said Nycole Stawinoga, a research associate at School Choice Wisconsin. “Studies show that (students who remain in college) make more money, live longer and have less of a chance of being incarcerated.” With regard to the growth, Witte noted that the voucher students were behind the public school students when the study first began five years ago. “There is no question that this program has been successful for families that cannot afford private school,” Witte said. “The test results are either positive in favor of the voucher students or the same, but (the voucher students) started out behind the Milwaukee Public School kids.” But Rebecca Bardwell, an associate professor of counselor education and counseling psychology at Marquette, pointed out that there are differences between voucher schools and public schools that may benefit the former statistically. “I think there are more selective students in the voucher program,” Bardwell said. “The voucher schools don’t have to take students with special needs, public schools do.” The report found that somewhere between 7.5 percent and 14.6 percent of voucher students have a disability. Bardwell said she is not sure if the report is a definite sign of success. “I don’t know that (this report) validates the voucher program,” Bardwell said. “I don’t see much of a difference between voucher and public schools. They are both receiving state money.” Rob Guilbert, vice president of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, believes studies like this can be a learning experience. “There are certain strengths in (the voucher program) and we need to know what is sustainable in it,” Guilbert said. “You need to look at academics, cost and social or parent involvement.” An additional 2,202 students are enrolled in the voucher program for the 2011-2012 school year, a 10 percent increase from the 2010-2011 year. Each voucher costs $6,442.

Marquette Nation is a comprehensive program designed to bring students and alumni together to continue Marquette’s traditions, establish class unity, raise money for study scholarships and keep students engaged with the university after graduation. He said many universities across the country are holding similar events to explain their financial situations. Students were glad to have the opportunity to thank Marquette donors.
Cristina Espinoza, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, wrote a thank-you card at the event and receives an Ignatius scholarship. “It takes a lot to run a school,” Espinoza said. “Tuition is expensive but (Marquette) does a lot.” Espinoza said she did not know the school relied on resources besides tuition to fund the university. “If it weren’t for donations, we wouldn’t be able to do all the things (Marquette) does,” Espinoza said. Even students who didn’t write a thank you card are grateful for the help from donors. Michael Kann, a freshman in the College of Engineering, said he thinks it is important to thank donors. “(My scholarship) is definitely how I was able to come to Marquette,” Kann said.

Monologues: Uphill battle for performance to get back on campus on playwright and activist Eve Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women over several years. It was originally performed by the playwright herself alone and was written in 1996. The purpose of the monologues is to look at female empowerment in the context of the vagina and to celebrate women’s sexuality and strength, according to the introduction of the play. Elizabeth Mueller, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences and Empowerment co-chair, performed in and planned the event. She said the mission of “The Vagina Monologues” was to start a conversation at Marquette regarding women’s sexuality and violence that occurs to women across the world. “I think this is more important and relevant than ever, considering the sexual assaults that occurred on
campus last year and the way they were dealt with,” Mueller said. “Even with the positive changes that have happened in policy and procedure since then, it’s important that we stay visible and continue talking about ways that we can support victims of sexual assault and work towards a culture where behaviors that are connected to sexual assault, such as rape myths, sexist jokes and gendered violence, are unacceptable as well.” The monologues have faced opposition at Marquette and other Catholic campuses due to its content, and as a result, the Empowerment executive board and Coles have worked with the Office of Student Development in order to maintain positive relations with the university. Kristin Sippel, senior in the
Input sought for new center Hiring for director of gender-focused program underway By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
The Office of the Provost held input sessions last week on the Gender Resource Center for faculty, staff and students to discuss the direction of the proposed center. William Welburn, associate provost for diversity and inclusion, said there is an advertisement out for the center’s director position. Welburn said the center hopes to have a director hired by July 1 and in place by the fall semester. At the Feb. 29 student input meeting, students discussed programming, name recognition communication and how to maintain inclusivity. Welburn said the discussion topics will feed into the information presented to candidates for the director position. He said the center
is looking at hiring faculty-in-residence and has gotten three requests for the position within a 24-hour period. Welburn said he would like students to attend the interview sessions. “Active student involvement will send a message to candidates that the university is serious,” Welburn said. “We anticipate really good candidates.” Information on the position will be sent out prior to looking at the first candidate, Welburn said. There will be an advisory board for the center, and two members of the 15-member board will be alumni. Welburn said the center will look to Georgetown University’s engagement efforts as an example. “They’ve done a lot in engaging alumni,” Welburn said. Overall, Welburn said he is pleased with the outcome of the input sessions. “I’m very happy – we’ve gotten a lot of ideas,” he said. “What we wanted to have happen, happened. People are honest about what they envision the center to be.”
College of Arts & Sciences and Empowerment executive board member, has performed in The Vagina Monologues the past three years and helped plan the last two. Sippel said Empowerment had to take the monologues off campus because there was too much opposition, but that it has been a worthwhile fight to have them back on campus in the past two years. “We need to have multiple meetings and there are still requirements we have to meet for the university to consider allowing this on campus,” Sippel said. “I think the fact that we have faced so much opposition just shows how important it is to have this on campus.”
In order for The Vagina Monologues to occur on campus, a mandatory talkback session is required with a university representative. Sippel and Mueller said this year’s talkback went well. “We had some students thank us for being brave enough to put on this performance and discuss these issues so openly … We also heard from a couple of very strong and brave women who shared that they had experienced sexual assault and the effect the monologues had on them, which was pretty powerful.” As a graduating senior, Mueller hopes that the monologues continue to have great success. “A lot of us are graduating this
year, so even though it’s sad for us to leave this behind, it’s a great opportunity for a bunch of new people to get involved, both as performers and organizers,” Mueller said. Nicholas Seglund, a sophomore in the College of Nursing, attended the show for the first time last Friday and thought it was funny but educational at the same time. “It was about different struggles women go through, like sexual assault and sexism, and turned out to be a very positive experience,” Seglund said. “I think everyone in attendance enjoyed it and took something out of it no matter if you were a man or a woman.”

STAFF EDITORIAL
Tuition Runs Out Day... means what? “Tuition runs out on Leap Day?” “What do you mean tuition ran out. Is Marquette broke?!” Questions like this filled campus Feb. 29 after various signs about Tuition Runs Out Day appeared. Like many students, we at the Tribune were initially a bit unclear about what these signs were advertising. According to the university’s website, tuition only covers 62 percent of the cost of a Marquette student’s education. Tuition Runs Out Day marks the point in the school year when tuition stops paying for a student’s education and generous alumni and donors take over (good thing we looked this up online, or we still would have been slightly puzzled about the signs). We believe that it is very important to recognize and thank our donors, without whom many of us would not be able to attend Marquette. However, if the day had been marketed and promoted more clearly, many additional donors could have received the acknowledgment they deserve. Students wrote about 500 thank you cards on Tuition Runs Out Day. Only 500. More than 8,000 students attend Marquette. Surely more than 500 of them receive scholarships from donors and alumni. Even likelier than assuming over 500 students receive scholarships, we think more than 500 of them appreciate and admire alumni and donors for lessening the financial burden of higher education. We would have loved to been able to write a thank you card on Tuition Runs Out Day, but (like the average student) we didn’t know much about the day or the fact we had this opportunity to show our gratitude. Not only did the day lack proper promotion from the university, we believe it was marketed toward students ineffectively. Multiple Tuition Runs Out Day signs
around campus gave us the impression that Marquette is already asking for our donations for future students. We haven’t even graduated yet! Once we do graduate, paying off student loans will have to take priority over donating to Marquette. Even paying our own bills after graduation could be a struggle, and more than likely we’ll be running around cities nationwide vigorously filling out job applications and eating our moms’ leftover lasagna. Don’t get us wrong — we love the idea of thanking our donors, but we think we could have done a better job. If more students had known about the thank you card writing on Tuition Runs Out Day, more donors would have been thanked. We do recognize that other than Tuition Runs Out Day, Marquette provides opportunities where students can show their appreciation toward donors. Many of us have attended alumni thank you dinners or scholarship celebration luncheons. We love those things! Why don’t we have more of them? Overall, the day encouraged students to continue to support Marquette after graduation, just like many gracious alumni do. We are grateful for the financial support provided by thousands of parents, faculty, staff and other members of the Marquette community. But we don’t need to be reminded to be thankful. We are fully aware of their donations, because, without their help, we probably wouldn’t be at Marquette. We don’t need to feel guilty or obligated to send a thank-you card one day out of the year. The thing is, we appreciate our donors every single day. If there were more opportunities for us to thank the people who make our education possible, we would take advantage of them — willingly.

‘You have hairy legs’ and other sayings to avoid in break-ups
Kelly White Listen, Marquette men ... we need to talk. The way many of you have declared yourselves uninterested in me and my pals is unacceptable. It’s not the breaking up part — that is something from which the majority of us will recover from very soon, trust me. Rather, it’s the way you break up with us that really stings. Admittedly, I have been the dumper before — and it is sometimes just as hard as being the dumpee. Words are difficult to come by, and it is easy to fall back on cliches. It is also easy to avoid saying anything of relevance or importance. And it must be easy to say things that are shallow, dumb and even cruel, because otherwise breaking up would not have such a bad rap.

: E T A D P RESPONDING TO SEXUAL ASSAULT U
PAGE 8
New programs for awareness, prevention By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu
Seventy-four percent. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 74 percent of completed and attempted sexual assaults against females are not reported to police. Sexual assaults of both men and women are unfortunate realities on college campuses, and Marquette is no exception. The university was under media fire in the spring of 2011, when it was learned that in the previous October, two freshman women reported being sexually assaulted at a Halloween party in a university-owned apartment. The story caught national attention, and the Chicago Tribune reported heavily on the university’s handling of the cases. One headline read, “One woman’s stand against college athletes: Her decision to report alleged sex assault shook up Marquette.”
Several Marquette athletes were allegedly involved in the assault of the women, which involved alcoholic beverages and forced sexual acts. Media outlets reporting on the case accused the Department of Public Safety of being slow to report such possible crimes to the Milwaukee Police Department, a requirement by Wisconsin law, in order to protect the status of the athletes and the university. The university has apologized for its handling of the sexual assault allegations and has since updated its policies of handling cases of sexual assault. “I’d like to stress that any incident of sexual assault is one too many and in complete opposition to the values of Marquette,” said Paul Mascari, senior lieutenant and assistant director at the Department of Public Safety. “We want any student who is a victim of sexual assault to be supported and to come forward.” The extensive media coverage of the sexual assault accusations on Marquette’s campus brought the issue into the public eye, but Lynn O’Brien, a counselor and sexual

of sexual assault. “Our number-one defense in preventing sexual assault is educating the community in what to do when it occurs,” O’Brien said. A second facet of the sexual assault awareness and prevention program is dedicated to upperclassmen in leadership positions on campus. Members of organizations such as athletic teams, Marquette University Student Government, Residence Life and Greek Life enrolled in the three-part training. The first level of training took place in September, and involved an online module called “Unless There’s Consent,” created by internet-based program Student Success. The program combines group discussion with online content and testing to help educate students on issues of sexual assault prevention on university campuses. In October, the next step of the program brought in the staff members and administrators who had worked with first-year students to conduct meetings with upperclassmen. The meetings were

Bystander intervention training continued throughout the year with hands-on instruction of what can be done in these situations to increase motivation to help victims. O’Brien said bystander intervention is not limited to only sexual violence incidents. With this training, bystanders will have the training to intervene in a quarrel between a couple, before it escalates to a more serious situation. “With this program, we are increasing students’ capability to intervene for students who are being victimized,” O’Brien said. This knowledge is also important after an act of sexual violence has been committed, said Sue Cooper, coordinator of sexual violence and advocacy services at Student Health Service. Victims are more likely to confide in a peer before going to the Department of Public Safety or the Counseling Center. The response victims receive from peers can be the difference between seeking help and allowing the incident to fade into repressed memory. “Sometimes, people don’t get

D-Jae-O monster goes out with a bang Seniors take down Georgetown in final home game By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu
Seniors Darius Johnson-Odom and Jae Crowder were honored on Senior Day following Marquette’s 83-69 win over Georgetown, marking the last time the duo will play for Marquette in the Bradley Center. But with the way both are playing, they could still have plenty of basketball games in a Marquette uniform. Crowder, a unanimous selection to the first team All-Big East squad, powered Marquette with 26 points, a career-high 14 rebounds and five steals in the win. It was perhaps the senior’s most impressive performance of the year. Johnson-Odom was not efficient in the win, making five of 12 shots and six of 10 free throws, but he still managed 17 points and passed Steve Novak and Trevor Powell for 13th on Marquette’s all-time scoring list. It was a fitting end for both players, and it also helped Marquette earn the No. 2 seed in this week’s Big East Tournament. It marks the Golden Eagles’ highest finish since joining the conference in 2005, something coach Buzz Williams said made the senior’s performances even more impressive. “I think their stats speak for themselves,” Williams said. “Those kids really want to win and have been accountable on a daily basis. For it to happen on this stage, with this type of magnitude for what was at stake in the game speaks to the heart of both those guys.” Marquette will wait until Thursday to play, and they will not know
their opponent until Wednesday. No. 15 Providence and No. 10 Seton Hall will play Tuesday, and the winner will face No. 7 Louisville. That winner will then face the Golden Eagles in the quarterfinals of the tournament. Johnson-Odom said last Wednesday’s loss to Cincinnati coupled with the Senior Day win have Marquette feeling good as they travel to New York. “It gives us some momentum going into New York,” JohnsonOdom said. “That’s always a positive thing to have. I’m glad we got that Cincinnati loss out of the way
rather than lose in New York. We learned a lot from that loss, and today we just played with great poise and energy.” Marquette has been knocked out in the quarterfinals round of the Big East Tournament the past two seasons, but behind JohnsonOdom and Crowder expectations have risen. Williams applauded the way both seniors have handled those expectations, both in their leadership and humility. That, he said, can go unnoticed at times. “Those guys have represented our brand, their specific brand, and
never had an edge that was vocalized, but had an edge in how they played,” Williams said. “There’s very few lion chasers in our world anymore. Those dudes are lion chasers and they don’t talk about it. And that’s evident.” Much of Crowder’s success had come while sophomore center Davante Gardner was on the bench. After missing eight games, the sophomore returned and scored eight points and grabbed eight rebounds in regular season finale. His return gives Marquette a third scorer and additional front court depth that will be crucial
deep into the Big East and NCAA Tournaments. It showed Saturday afternoon, and capped a historic regular season. Crowder reflected on the Senior Day win and his time at Marquette. “I’ll never forget this day as a whole,” Crowder said. “It will always be with me for however many years I’ll be playing basketball. It’s been two of the best years of my life.” With the way Crowder and the Golden Eagles are playing, the best two years of his life could continue deep into March.

On the one hand, you are that much closer to never having to cram for that philosophy midterm or pull an all-nighter writing that 10-page history paper you put off for weeks. Yet walking across that stage is akin to walking the plank into adulthood. No more Tuesday night bar crawls. No more kegs and eggs. No more #mubb games. No more ripping paper to join in on the confetti shower when the first point is scored. No more turning around and yelling “sucks” when the opposing team is introduced. No more good vibes sent to the free-throw shooter through the spirit fingers. No more jumping around.
This list will stretch for miles should I name all the little quirks and norms established in “the best student section in the country” — a highly contentious phrase I usually scoff at but one that serves my purposes well right now. All of that is gone. Some of us will move back home with our parents, whether that be in Mequon, Minnesota or Manitoba. Some of us will start fresh lives in big cities, hoping to strike it big in the swamp of D.C., or the bright lights of New York City. All of these life changes will make it impossible to enjoy the Marquette basketball experience in the same way. Even those of us that will remain in the general vicinity of Milwaukee and begin our 50-year quest to be named season ticket holders of the game will have to adapt to a whole new game routine sitting amongst the sweater vests in the nosebleeds.

season winds down By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu
A season of rebuilding and self-discovery for the Marquette women’s basketball team ended Saturday in the second round of the Big East Tournament. At halftime, it appeared that the Golden Eagles had turned the corner, leading No. 23 and sixth-seeded Rutgers 22-16. After the Scarlet Knights rallied to take a 37-36 lead with 6:31 left, Marquette continued to battle, bringing itself within one possession nine times. In the end, however, Rutgers was able to dispatch the Golden Eagles with an 8-0 run to close out the game en route to a 52-43 win. Sophomore Katherine Plouffe and freshman forward Chelsie Butler combined for 27 points in a strong showing for Marquette’s post, but the backcourt struggled down the stretch. Plouffe was hesitant to assign all the blame to any position in particular, however, attributing the loss to a lack of overall focus in the second half.

Senior guard Darius Johnson-Odom scored 17 points on Saturday and became Marquette’s 13th leading scorer.
Gardner returns from knee injury to score eight points By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu
Except for a 10-minute stretch in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 4, the Marquette Golden Eagles have dominated the Georgetown Hoyas this season. That trend continued in an 83-69 Golden Eagle victory on Senior Day Saturday. Marquette (25-6, 14-4 Big East) led 39-29 at halftime and shot 48 percent for the game against a Georgetown (22-7, 12-6 Big East) defense that entered the game allowing opponents to shoot just 38.5 percent from the field. Senior forward Jae Crowder recorded his 11th double-double of the season, finishing with 26 points and 14 rebounds. Crowder also had five steals and continuing his streak of at least one steal in every game since a win over Washington on Dec. 6. Crowder had said before the game that he wouldn’t get emotional afterwards, but changed his tune a bit following the contest. “It couldn’t have happened in a better way,” Crowder said. “It’s a dream come true for me, so I’m on cloud nine right now.” On Sunday, Crowder and fellow senior Darius Johnson-Odom were
the facts Marquette clinched the No. 2 seed in the Big East Championship Tournament with its victory over Georgetown on Saturday and will reap the benefits this week. It will rest until Thursday while watching Providence, Seton Hall and Louisville slug it out on Tuesday and Wednesday. Marquette has beaten all three teams this season and will be favored no matter who the opponent. A win on Thursday will give the Golden Eagles their first-ever trip to the semi-finals.
named to the All-Big East First Team, marking the first time that two Marquette players were named to the first team in program history. Coach Buzz Williams said that Crowder’s performance “speaks for itself,” and hinted that Crowder should be named the conference’s player of the year, an honor that will be announced today. “You get what you earn,” Williams said. “I think Jae’s resume, our team’ s resume, whoever’s healthy and who’s not speaks for itself. Whoever wins the awards on Tuesday humbly and with the right attitude, we congratulate them.” Johnson-Odom had 17 points on 5-of-12 shooting in his final game at the Bradley Center. The senior guard said that he was happy with the team’s performance, especially considering how poorly it performed in a 72-61 loss at Cincinnati on Wednesday. “(The win) gives us some momentum going into New York,” Johnson-Odom said. “That’s always a positive thing to have, and I’m glad we got that loss out of the way rather than lose in New York.” Sophomore guard Vander Blue (13) and sophomore forward Jamil Wilson (11) joined the seniors in double-digit scoring, but the biggest surprise was an appearance from sophomore forward Davante Gardner. Gardner, who hadn’t played since spraining his knee in a win at Villanova on Jan. 28, scored eight points
and grabbed eight rebounds in 15 minutes of action on Saturday. According to Williams, Gardner practiced 25 minutes on Friday and went about 55 minutes on Thursday and had done enough rehab to warrant some minutes on Saturday. The win clinched the No. 2 seed for Marquette in the Big East Championship Tournament who will play either Louisville, Connecticut or Providence at 6 p.m. on Thursday. The second place finish is the highest for the Golden Eagles since joining the Big East in 2005-’06. The 14 wins are also the most Marquette has had in a season in conference play. The win over Georgetown was the Golden Eagles’ first on Senior Day since a 67-37 win over Florida Gulf Coast on March 4, 2008, and was the first win in the team’s last home game during Williams’ tenure. For Williams, seeing his seniors leave the court at the Bradley Center one last time was extremely emotional. “I’m really thankful and happy that I’ve had an opportunity to coach them,” Williams said. “Those kids really want to win and have been accountable on a daily basis. “For it to happen on this stage with this type of magnitude for what was at stake in the game, it speaks to the heart of both those guys.”

Greska: Lucky senior class
behind us pulled off a feat rarely seen outside the Bradley Center. Their morning beverages had done their duty and were forcing their way out. Having been penned in like cattle, there was no hope for a quick run to a port-a-potty or unseen wall. Nature called, however, and it does not wait on anybody. So the two guys formed a human barricade around the third who did his best Dumb and Dumber impression into an empty Gatorade bottle, nearly filling all 16 ounces in as public an arena as it gets. You’re not going to see that ever again. Or how about the 11 students, both male and female, in front of me once inside, shedding their shirts and busting out the chest paint to spell out “Go Marquette” — correctly, may I add. The sweater vests can’t even follow the directions for a gold-out properly. How am I supposed to go from shirtless boys and girls to stuck-up men and women in the blink of an eye? What I will say, though, is that the class of 2012 can count its lucky stars. This senior class has been spoiled by success rarely seen since the ’70s. They saw an NBA player every
year starting with Wes Matthews and most likely continuing with DJae-O — kudos to the athletic department for that one. They saw two separate top-10 rankings bookending their career. They saw an NCAA Tournament team each and every season. They saw a Sweet 16, something seen only twice in the previous two decades. They also saw a victory on their Senior Day in front of the third-largest crowd in Marquette history and the second-rowdiest student section of the past four years — behind only the Connecticut game in 2009. All in all, my senior class witnessed 93 victories — so far — and the rise of a legendary coach, twostepping Marquette into the national spotlight time and time again. You can’t ask for much more than that. Adios Bradley Center. You may be a terrible basketball venue, but you have been a gracious host the past four years. For my fellow seniors walking that plank, a Dr. Seuss quote fits the bill. “Don’t cry because its over. Smile because it happened.” We are, and will always be, Marquette. andrei.greska@maruette.edu

Young said. “Coming off an injury I think it’s important to do better than you did before, and I didn’t really have any kind of name for myself during my freshman year, so I feel like this was a big coming-out year for me.” Plouffe said Marquette’s 2011-’12 campaign fell well short of her expectations but it was a learning experience she believes will make the team
stronger in the long run. “We didn’t want it to be a rebuilding year, but it was one,” Plouffe said. “It wasn’t what we hoped it would be, not having a postseason and with number of games we lost, but it’s reassuring and exciting to know that we put it together towards the end. I feel like how we played at the end is how we’re going to start next season off.”

BIG EAST NOTEBOOK
Tuesday, March 6, 2012
By Michael Wottreng
michael.wottreng@marquette.edu
Double Bye The Big East decided to open the conference championship to all 16 teams in 2009, with the top four seeds earning double-byes into the quarterfinals. In the three tournaments since, the top four teams have not fared as well as people may think. Teams with a double-bye are a combined 11-10 in the Big East Tournament. Some may think those records are a little skewed because they knock out each other. However, that is not the case. In three tournaments, there have only been two matchups between teams with a double-bye. That means that a team seeded fifth or worse has knocked off a higher rated opponent eight times. However, a top four seed has captured the tournament two of the last three seasons, with the lone exception being Connecticut’s incredible run last season. The Huskies had to knock off three of the top four seeds to win the crown. There has been a top four seed in the title game in each of the three seasons, but that is the only round top four seeds have a record above .500. The top four
finishers in the league are 6-6 in the quarterfinals and 3-3 in the semi-finals. The Big East is one of the deepest conferences in the country, but bubble teams sense a final chance to get a marquee win against the powerhouses at the top of the best league in America. Ultimately the past is behind us and numbers do not mean much in March, but the underdog has made the Big East Tournament a great prelude to the big dance. Can Anyone Beat Syracuse? Kentucky is the trendy pick to win the national championship, but Syracuse may be the best team in the country. The Orange’s lone loss came on the road to Notre Dame when the key to Jim Boeheim’s zone defense, Fab Melo, was out. Melo anchors a defense that is top 10 in the country in field goal percentage defense. Syracuse is the favorite to win the Big East Tournament this week. However, the regular season champion has not won a game in New York since 2009. That year is also the last time the No. 1 seed won the conference tournament. The last two teams to defeat the regular season champion advanced to the championship game, including the Kemba
Walker-led Connecticut team last season. Syracuse was the top seed in 2010, when they lost to a talented Georgetown team. The Orange will most likely face Connecticut or West Virginia in the quarterfinals this year. Those teams are battling for a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament and a win over Syracuse would punch their ticket. The Huskies and the Mountaineers have showed that they can compete against the Orange. Each team lost by two points against Syracuse in their matchups this season. If Syracuse is able to survive their quarterfinal matchup, they will likely play the winner of the Georgetown and Cincinnati game. Each team is long and athletic with a capability of hitting timely shots against the Orange’s zone. Syracuse has been neck-andneck with Kentucky for the best team in country. The Orange will face top teams just to get to the championship game, where a quick and talented Marquette team, a gritty Louisville club or Notre Dame — the lone team to beat them this year — will be ready to prevent them from winning the Big East Conference title as well.

Sports History
Marquette’s annual trip to New York City in early March is now common practice, but back in 2006, Madison Square Garden had Marquette fans in awe. On March 9, 2006, the Golden Eagles played their first game in the Big East Championship Tournament against Georgetown, losing 62-59. The Hoyas were led by current NBA players Jeff Green and all-star Roy Hibbert, and the team proved too much that day for Marquette. Green led Georgetown with 16 points, nine rebounds and five assists, while senior Brandon Bowman had 14 points and went 5-of-5 from the free throw line in the last
minute to put the game beyond Marquette’s reach. Steve Novak had 18 points on six 3-pointers in his Madison Square Garden debut. Little did people know he’d return a little over five years later to do more of the same for the Knicks. Wes Matthews also had 14 points and six rebounds off the bench. Although it was a loss, the game was a fun one for Marquette fans, who finally felt as though their program was part of the Big East. Now, it’s one of the head honchos in the conference, heading to the Garden this year with the No. 2 seed. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

struggled to find their identity. With Jim Calhoun back on the bench, this game could be one of the more entertaining of the first two days in Manhattan.
The Mountaineers were desperate for a pair of wins this week. Jones helped supply them with dominating performances in wins over DePaul and South Florida. The first team All-Big East selection poured in 22 points and had 16 rebounds in his final home

Men’s Tennis
The road to the 2012 Olympic games in London was cut short for freshman boxer Luis Feliciano, much earlier than most expected at the USA Boxing National Championship in Colorado. Feliciano lost his bout against Toka Khan Clary of Providence, R.I., in a 14-13 decision. Before the loss in the quarterfinals, he was three wins short of going to Brazil in May for a shot to make the U.S. Olympic team. He was 3-0 in matches leading up to the fight on Thursday with wins over Michael Norato (Calif.), Alejandro Salinas (Ohio), Anthony Marsella (R.I.). As for his plans for what is next, Feliciano will continue to train and compete to make his dream of fighting for an Olympic gold medal real. His next opportunity to do so is in 2016, so he will return to Marquette for the 2012 fall semester to resume his studies and eventually become the first member of his family to graduate from college. He will fight next at the Golden Gloves Tournament in Mesquite, Nev.
The Marquette men’s tennis team went 1-1 in their weekend homestand with a 6-1 win over Southern Illinois Friday and a 4-3 loss to No. 43 Drake Sunday. The team dropped to 6-6 on the season after losing its first home match of the spring season. Drake’s win over Marquette was its 12th straight. Freshman Cameron Tehrani picked up his 14th and 15th singles wins of the season over the weekend and teamed for a doubles win with sophomore Logon Collins Friday. Tehrani defeated Southern Illinois’ Orhan Spahic 6-4, 6-4 Friday and then Drake’s Ben Mulis 6-7,6-1, 1-0 Sunday to post his 10th and 11th wins in his last twelve matches. Sophomore Dan Mamalat and
