Manitowoc adds Martell Sophomore earns city council spot through hard work By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

As Marquette’s newest student government president, executive vice president and senators take office, one student will also settle in to a new role as an elected official — at the city level. Tyler Martell, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, was elected to the City Council of Manitowoc, Wis., on April 3. Martell, who is a Manitowoc native, won the election with 56 percent of the vote, getting 336 votes to former Alderman Gary Moore’s 265. After unsuccessful campaigns for Manitowoc’s school board and the seat he won last Tuesday, Martell is happy to be one of the new faces on

Manitowoc’s city council. “Unless you count being my senior class president in high school, this is a completely new experience for me,” he said. Martell said that while he hadn’t initially planned on pursuing the seat, he changed his mind after his alderman had decided not to run for re-election. “I think for democracy to function properly, people deserve choices, and I felt it was my responsibility to give the people in my district an alternative,” he said. As for how he plans on managing being a college student and living an hour and twenty minutes away from the district he represents, Martell said that he wants to approach his new job with the same dedication he does to school. “I’m really excited about gaining a deeper understanding of how local government functions,” he said. Over break, Martell answered some of the Tribune’s questions.

Q and A with Tyler Martell: Q: What made this campaign successful? A: Simple: The message of fiscal responsibility and the support from my family and friends. Local politics is all about working hard and reaching out to voters, and with the tremendous support from my family and friends, we were able to outwork my opponent. I owe this to them. Q: How do you plan on managing being a college student with your new position? A: It’ll be a challenge, but I’m up for it. Between committee meetings, boards, commissions and common council meetings, I will have to be in Manitowoc roughly five evenings each month.There will also be a lot of reading to do, and I plan to treat it like another class. The third component of this job, and the one that I look most forward to, is constituent relations. I think being See Martell, page 7

Facebook acquires Time management key for upstart Instagram combating semester stress Experts wonder how the services can smoothly combine By Barbara Ortutay Associated Press

Facebook is spending $1 billion to buy the photo-sharing company Instagram in the social network’s largest acquisition ever. On the surface, that’s a huge sum for a tiny startup that has a handful of employees and no way to make money. But the lack of a business model rarely dampens excitement about hot tech upshots these days. As Facebook has shown, itself without ads or revenue in its early days, money goes where the users are. Instagram lets people share photos they snap with their mobile devices. The app has filters that can make photos look as if they’ve been taken in the 1970s or on Polaroid cameras. Its users take photos of everything from their breakfast egg sandwiches to sunsets to the smiling faces of their girlfriends. In a little more than a year, Instagram attracted a loyal and loving user base of more than 30 million people. Apple picked it as the iPhone App of the Year in 2011. Instagram’s fans, brand recognition and its potential are difficult to put a price tag on. Yet Facebook has — and can afford it. The company is preparing for an initial public offering of stock that could value the company at as much as $100 billion in a few weeks. What’s $1 billion? A drop in the bucket, really. “Facebook after this IPO is going to be in a position to be predatory. They can make sure no one steps in their way and buy anyone who gets in their way,” said Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who follows social media. Buying Instagram, he added, not only eliminates a rival but gives Facebook the technology “that is gaining crazy traction.” Facebook is paying cash and stock for San Francisco-based Instagram and hiring its dozen or so employees. The deal is expected to close by the end of June. It’s a windfall not just for Instagram’s employees, but the venture capital firms backing the

company. Last week, Sequoia Capital led an investment round that valued Instagram at $500 million, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Going by the $1 billion price tag, Facebook is paying about $33 for each Instagram user. That’s a fraction of the $118 that Facebook investors will be paying per Facebook user if the company gets its expected $100 billion valuation after going public. By that math, Pachter said, $1 billon “doesn’t sound crazy.” Getting Instagram is a big win for Facebook as it works to harness people’s growing obsession with their mobile devices and sharing every moment of their life. The company’s own mobile application is not as easy to use asInstagram, and sharing photos can be downright clunky. Facebook’s way, noted Pachter, has always been to buy technology if it’s better than what it can build on its own. Facebook, which is based in Menlo Park, Calif., said it plans to keep Instagram running independently. That’s a departure from its tendency to buy small startups and integrate the technology — or shut them down altogether just so it can hire talented engineers and developers. “This is an important milestone for Facebook because it’s the first time we’ve ever acquired a product and company with so many users,” CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page Monday announcing the deal. “We don’t plan on doing many more of these, if any at all.” He said Facebook plans to keep allowing people to post from Instagram to other social networks, including Twitter. Users will also be able to keep their Instagrams off of Facebook if they want to. “We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience,” Zuckerberg said. Tech bloggers and analysts immediately began wondering whether Facebook’s commitment will be eternal. “There’s a long history of companies acquiring other companies and saying that they are going to continue to support the service — and then not,” said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst with research firm eMarketer.

Effects of over-stress can be dramatic, yet remain resolvable By Eric Oliver eric.oliver@marquette.edu

When Easter break officially comes to a close, Marquette’s atmosphere becomes almost electric as the countdown to summer begins to inch closer. But with this excitement comes an increase of the dreaded sword. Stress. But sometimes a little bit of stress is a good thing, according to Jeffrey Anders, a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Health Services. “It’s kind of a two-edged sword,” Anders said. “Anxiety and stress actually help us to remain alert and vigilant to give us the energy we need to preform the tasks of our day.” Without stress, Anders said, any sense of motivation would be lost completely. As it turns out, small amounts of stress are actually good for the human body, as they keep it on task. But the negative effects of stress are just as telling. “When there is too much stress which we can’t channel through productive means, we get over-stressed and overanxious and it leads to negative effects like higher blood pressure,” Anders said. “By leaving that unchecked over longer periods of time, it can affect your heart permanently.” The American Institute of Stress lists numerous emotional and physical disorders on its website that have been linked to stress. These include depression, anxiety, heart attacks, stroke, hypertension, immune system disturbances that increase susceptibility to infections and a host of virallinked disorders ranging from the common cold and herpes to AIDS and certain cancers. But Hans Selye, a former professor at the University of Montréal and director of the Institute of Experimental Medi-

cine and Surgery who pioneered stress research in the mid-20th century, was so certain that good stress existed, he coined a term for it – eustress. Selye performed a series of experiments on rats which soon developed stress-related ulcers and other symptoms. He found that the rats adapted to the circumstances of his lab testing, and they eventually began to live around the stress. For humans, however, combating stress is a little different than just adapting to it. Anders said the most effective way to combat stress is just to stay organized. Keeping affairs in order and getting things done on time will lower the negative aspects of stress.

Mara Thompson, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, knows all too well about the moderate effects of stress. Thompson said her engineering classes have taken a turn toward real-life application, and her professors are urging her to find a job in the field. Between this and working multiple jobs, stress is a serious part of her life. Thompson said she frequently uses tools like Google Calendar to stay organized. “My biggest tip to prevent stress is to use Google Calendar, because I can use it through my phone and my computer and everything,” Thompson said. “It can show me where I’m going and it helps me to stay organized and on top of everything.”

addition, cavity searches must be performed in the presence of a medical professional and with the possession of a warrant. Because the alleged searches performed by the MPD officers occurred in public, they do not fall under a recent decision by the Supreme Court that found strip searches to be constitutional when performed in a jail or prison.

Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority’s opinion, in which he argued such procedures were necessary to keep jails and prisons safe. “Correctional officials have a significant interest in conducting a thorough search as a standard part of the intake process. The admission of new inmates creates risks for staff, the existing detainee population, and the new detainees themselves,” Kennedy wrote. “Correctional officials have to detect weapons, drugs, alcohol and other prohibited items new detainees may possess.” O’Meara said the court’s decision, although a bit excessive,

was not as overreaching as he felt many made it out to be. “I think it is a narrower case than people think it is,” O’Meara said. “That having been said, it probably goes further than it needs to. There are places they could have drawn the line.” Amanda D’Agostino, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she felt that such searches were necessary due to the threat of contraband sneaking into jails and prisons. “I think (strip searches) are reasonable,” D’Agostino said. “If you’re arrested for something, who knows what else you could have?”

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that officials can strip-search anyone who has been arrested, no matter the offense or without “reason to suspect the presence of contraband,” according to a New York Times article. The decision in Florence v. County of Burlington came 5-4. It’s a contested issue within the court, and the reaction in the days following suggests many Americans disagree with the decision. The case arose from a strip search conducted at a New Jersey jail following a traffic stop. The plaintiff, Albert W. Florence, was detained for fines he had already paid and strip-searched twice. If the court ruled his strip searches were constitutional, where do we draw the line? Since the court ruled that strip searches are permissible and help corrections officers do their job better, it’s likely that officers will use strip searches more often. And we don’t like those odds. The issue is not just in New Jersey. Just last month, the Milwaukee Police Department began an investigation of its own officers for conducting possibly unnecessary search warrants during traffic stops. Unreasonable strip searches can be a problem here in Milwaukee as well, and we should speak out against the ruling now. While the Supreme Court apparently feels differently, allowing strip searches after every arrest violates the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects citizens from unwarranted search and seizures. It also violates the 14th Amendment, which ensures citizens due process. In the majority opinion, Justice Kennedy wrote that corrections officers “have a significant interest conducting a thorough search as a standard part of the intake process,” claiming that restrictions would “limit the intrusion of privacy” but at “the risk of increased danger to everyone in the facility.” Kennedy cited cases like the Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11 — in which Timothy McVeigh and one of the Flight 93 hijackers were both stopped for traffic

offenses right after and right before their terrorist attacks — as situations where dangerous criminals stopped for minor offenses could have been strip searched before achieving their goals. But just because police can search someone does not mean they have the right to conduct an unreasonable search, and for most offenses a strip search would be completely unreasonable. A majority of people arrested for failure to pay fines or other minor offenses are not terrorists. Kennedy also wrote just taking inmates “created numerous risks” for a jail’s staff and detainees, claiming “the danger of introducing lice or contagious infections, for example, is well documented.” We understand that infections and other risks pose threats to jails and should be prevented if possible; however, it is unreasonable to think that all inmates — especially those detained for minor offenses — are always ridden with diseases. The court is blatantly ignoring the Fourth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, setting a dangerous precedent in the process. Allowing strip searches opens up broader problems with police questioning. Just because the police conduct a strip search, or the Supreme Court decides something is legal, does not mean that we have to accept the decision as infallible. Yes, the police have a duty to keep people safe and sometimes that may involve searching suspects, but they don’t really have a right to conduct strip searches for any reason. Strip searches are degrading to those being searched. As conscientious citizens, we should have more respect for one another than to declare all strip searches allowable in basically any circumstance once arrested. Strip searches are even more degrading if they come after a petty offense with no suspicion of contraband. Do we really want to be treating people like that, criminal or not? As U.S. citizens, we need to speak up now before it’s too late.

Reader Submission

So you graduated from college... now what?

For many of you soon-to-be college graduates, the last four years of your life were probably based around papers, exams and late night pizza. But with graduation looming on the horizon, your focus now switches to one of two things: more school, as you enter a graduate program, or your imminent arrival into the “real world.” Entering the job market and finding a career can be an intimidating thought, especially now since our society seems to revolve around social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, both of which make your life an open book. It’s easy for friends and loved ones to keep up to date on your every move, so when you are tackling an endeavor like finding a job, the pressure increases dramatically when your Mom is posting links to job ads on your Facebook wall. There’s no denying the world has changed and the path you have to travel to find a career has changed as well. The following are some ideas on how to remain optimistic and make the most of this time in your life:

1. Remember your college experience that perfect job right away. Think about it was more than just academic learning this way: People change jobs an average of For most people, college was the first time 11 times during their work life, so if your they left home and became independent.

Make a mental picture of what you doesn’t work quite the same way anymore, so don’t set unreal expectations for yourself want to achieve throughout your career One of the most effective ways to do this when it comes to finding a job. With today’s tough job market, it’s OK if you don’t land is to create what I call a “Dream List” - this

is a list of the ten most important things you want to accomplish during your career. So take a minute, close your eyes and imagine that you have just found Aladdin’s lamp and the Genie has given you 10 wishes. What would those 10 wishes be? Become a Wall Street CEO? Have a home-based business? Make enough money to have $1,000,000 at retirement? No matter what your dream, this is your chance to imagine your career at its most ideal. Look at this list often because you’re more likely to achieve something when you think about it regularly. Over the past four years you have worked hard to earn your degree. Be proud of that – it’s a feat that many people do not accomplish. And even though it may not seem like it right now, your time at college was prepping you for your arrival into the “real world.” Remember to take everything one step at a time and continually work on making yourself an asset instead of an employee. Be patient, and eventually you’ll make it to the job of your dreams. By Carol Holm, author of Take the Lid Off: Unleashing Your Unlimited Potential

Shymansky forges bonds at Marquette Award- winning volleyball coach a big hit with team By Andrei Greska andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Marquette women’s volleyball coach Bond Shymansky is calm — as calm as a coach ever gets. He sits by the volleyball court with his right leg crossed over his left as he watches his team battle with in-state rival University of Wisconsin-Madison. This being a spring season game, score is kept, but it acts more like a time-keeper than a true measure of success. The goal is to give his girls experience. Today he seems to be focusing his coaching toward Lindsey Gosh, a sophomore outside hitter and sweet-swinging lefty who will be asked to pick up a lot of the slack left with the departures of Ashley Beyer and Ciara Jones. After Gosh makes a hitting error and sends the ball sailing out of bounds, Shymansky looks straight at her. This is where his coaching style differs from most high-major Division I coaches. Instead of laying into Gosh and letting her know she messed up royally, he smiles straight at her, clapping twice before telling her to keep swinging. He’s locked on her now, following her every movement on the court. After three or four more points Shymansky finally stands — as he is prone to do during the season in the fall — and walks near the backline where Gosh is currently stationed. He is constantly supporting her, whether the ball lands in play or not. “He’s calm, cool and collected,” Jack Smith, father of defensive specialist Jalyn Smith, said. “He didn’t seem to get overly aggressive with the girls.” Bond is no Buddhist monk though. Shymansky has been

around the game long enough to know the type of motivation each player responds best to. “I’m not necessarily a screamer, but I will yell at my team at times,” Shymansky said. “I’m not really big into swearing, but I do get mad sometimes. I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older to be more like the horse whisperer. I like to pull players aside and whisper things to them more than I like to yell at them. “Like anything, you have to figure out each different player each different year. They just require a tweaking of motivation or inspiration or whatever it is.” That is his gift.

The Players Love Him

Shymansky is able to forge connections with each and every player on an individual basis and extract every ounce of talent both in and out of the Al McGuire Center. “Our players know that he’s going to take care of them, not just on the court but also in all aspects of life,” said assistant coach Michaela Franklin. “If there’s anything off the court, academically or anything at all, they’re able to go to him. They know that he wants the best for them.” No player exemplifies this better than former outside hitter Ashley Beyer. A standout volleyball player at Bloomington High School in Bloomington, Ill., Beyer was heavily recruited by Shymanksy, then Georgia Tech’s volleyball coach, after setting the school record for kills in a season, 375, and in a match, 22. To become a Yellow Jacket, Beyer went to junior college at Kishwaukee College in Illinois where she would win an NCJAA Division II National Championship, be named tournament MVP and an AVCA Two-Year Colleges First Team All-American.

She was left with a tough while getting his master’s degree decision when Shymansky left in secondary education.

learning what not to do and watching others fail and having to learn that way. I was happy to leave there. I was eager.” From Iowa City the Shymansky family ventured into the unchartered territory of Atlanta, as Bond took a position as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech. “I wasn’t just a Midwest guy, I was a small town hay seed going into a big city like Atlanta,” Shymansky said. “I had an hour commute each way. It was 12 lanes of traffic on the major interstate every day. I thought, ‘How do people do this? I can’t do this.’” Once he adapted and the roots began taking hold, Shymansky blossomed. He became the head coach in 2001 and found immediate success, posting a 17264 record in his seven years at the helm, including a trip to the Eilte 8, two Sweet 16s and two ACC regular season championships. “The highs were super high, the lows weren’t that low,” Shymansky said. “But it’s like anything. I compare winning in coaching to an addiction. You need to get your fix all the time. Sometimes you come back after that high, and if you don’t quite get there, it can feel like a low.” And so Bond began looking back longingly to the Midwest, sending out feelers and testing the waters for available positions. One school that was hooked was his alma mater Iowa, but it wasn’t the right fit. A year later Marquette found itself coachless. Shymansky was intrigued.

His marquette story begins

“My wife has a lot of family here in Milwaukee so that was something we started looking at, that we liked the city of Milwaukee,” Shymansky said. “I knew a little bit about Marquette, but I didn’t really know. When I came here on my interview, it was so crystal clear to me.” Awed by the Al McGuire Center and the people inside it, he decided to leave a program he had led to elite status for one that had never been to the NCAA Tournament. “Knowing how hard we worked to win at Georgia Tech, but all the things we didn’t have, then I came here and said ‘Wow, look at all the

21 up, 21 down; Walker picture-perfect MU pitcher tosses perfect game in front of parents By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

The day before Dan Walker took the mound against Wisconsin-Whitewater, his roommate asked the Marquette club baseball ace if he had ever thrown a perfect game. “There’s no way in hell I could ever do that,” Walker

responded. “That’s something that people pitch their entire lives for, and they never get the opportunity to experience.” Roughly 24 hours and 21 consecutive outs later, Walker had thrown the program’s first ever perfect game in a 1-0 win over the Warhawks on March 31. The left-handed junior struck out eight of the first nine batters he faced, was helped out by a few impressive plays in the field and finished his March 31 outing by striking out the final two batters. The cold weather conditions

helped Walker, who was dealing with a sore elbow and stiff shoulder. Walker prepared the same way he always had before a start, sitting by himself at the end of the bench. He came out firing, relying on his fastball which tails away from left-handed hitters and in on right-handed hitters. Senior Jordan Clark was behind the plate for Walker’s start and said he could tell early the lefty was locked in. “From the beginning, Walker had his fastball control and good movement,” Clark said.

“He was on an entirely different level, keeping hitters off balance with great location and a good mix of his pitches.” The Golden Eagles pushed across the first and only run of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning, an RBI double by Brian Collins. But the next half inning, Walker almost lost his perfect bid. Whitewater third baseman Brian Neuwirth led off the fifth inning with a shallow fly ball to center. Marquette centerfielder Joe Horrigan was playing deep, but the sophomore ran

in and made a diving catch to preserve the bid. “I ran in, and going through my head I was thinking, ‘Don’t be the reason that I screw up a perfect game,’” Horrigan said. Horrigan recorded the other two outs in the fifth inning where Walker threw just four pitches. Walker said he first entertained the thought of a perfect game in the second inning, but the nerves did not kick in until the sixth inning. But another See Baseball, page 18

Suck it Novak? Say it ain’t so Andrei Greska

Easter Sunday’s marquee NBA matchup pitted the Bulls and the Knicks at Madison Square Garden with no shortage of storylines. From Derrick Rose’s return to action to a potential first round playoff preview to a chance to help the lowly Bucks get into the dance, I didn’t need much prodding to get me to watch it. As a die-hard Bulls fan and hater of all things overrated — get at me Nueva Yorkers — I was rooting hard for my men in red.

Yet late in the game, one particular play shook my Bulls fandom and scared me from a fan’s point of view. Joakim Noah was playing tight defense on Steve Novak, forcing him into a turnover as Novak fell out of bounds. Noah goes to grab the ball out of a flustered Novak’s arms, drawing a brief joust for possession and an exchanging of words. It was the absolute worst scenario for a Bulls loving Marquette fan. In the red corner you have Noah, the goofiest player in the NBA and one of my favorite Bulls. He’s like the class clown in grade school throwing spitballs at the blackboard and loving the fact that he got caught. Noah is the kind of player you hate if he’s playing on any See Greska, page 17

Title quest falls short again Badgers too much to handle after tough Texas tilt

For the seventh time in the last 10 seasons, the Marquette women’s club volleyball team finished in the top three at the National Club Volleyball Tournament. The Golden Eagles took third place in the Division I tournament over Easter break. Marquette entered the tournament with high aspirations of taking home its second national championship in club history. “I know we were all very disappointed that we weren’t able to achieve that goal,” senior right side hitter Molly Aikins said. “Last year we finished second, and so we were really fired up this year to take the gold.” Marquette earned the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament

Tennis at Big East Championships

Track & Field

Dual victory over Panthers Throwers dominate field events in meet at Valley Fields By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette track and field team picked up some big-time momentum Thursday, sweeping in-city rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee in outdoor dual-meet action at Valley Fields. The women’s squad beat the Panthers 100-90 while the men’s team won 97-89. Coach Bert Rogers said the team was more focused on the pride of beating their archrival than the individual finishes, as he isn’t as concerned with the Big East Championships quite yet. “We weren’t as worried about individual marks in the meet more than just getting the win over a rival,” Rogers said. “We had a couple standouts in the throws and on the track we had a couple of nice performances. We really had a lot of athletes stepping up across the board.” The sibling tandem of

sophomore Kathryn Koeck and freshman Will Koeck dominated the hammer throw for the Golden Eagles as Kathryn broke the personal record she set at the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational a week earlier with a toss of 183 feet, 4 inches, the third best mark on the Marquette all-time list. Will Koeck finished third in his competition with a throw of 172 feet, 6 inches. Senior Jonathan Kusowski won the men’s hammer throw with a toss of 180 feet and also scored a victory in the javelin throw with the third best throw in Marquette history (183 feet, five inches). Senior David Carbajal, who finished fifth in the event with a throw of 160 meters, said Kusowski’s impact on the team has been huge all season and will be even bigger down the stretch. “He’s been our team leader and we’ve all been building off his energy in practice and the weight room,” Carbajal said. “He’s been a big positive role model for all the younger guys on the team.” Junior Chanel Franklin won both the 100 and 200-meter dashes and paced the 4x100 and 4x200-meter relay squads to second place

finishes for the women’s side. Franklin also finished fifth in the women’s long jump in her first attempt in the event since high school. Franklin scored a whopping 17 total points for Marquette. Sophomore Carolyne Schuh won the long jump leaping 18 feet, five inches picking up another five points for the women’s squad. The Golden Eagles continued their dominance in the 3,000-meter run with Marquette taking the top four places led by freshman Kenzie Vicker and her 10:23.07 finish. Back on the men’s side, senior Tyler O’Brien won the 200-meter dash and placed second in the 100-meter, Junior Kyle Winter won the 400-meter, and sophomore Evan Ross won the 800-meter. O’Brien said his day still didn’t go quite as well as he hoped it would, noting the Milwaukee weather was a factor. “The weather made things a little tougher, it was really windy and I think there was a high of 40 degrees so it made everything a little more difficult,” O’Brien said. “Regardless of that, its always nice to compete at Valley Fields and have your friends come out and support you.”

Greska: Cognitive dissonance at its finest

team but your own. He speaks his mind, his hair is floppy, he pulls out the gun show for big plays and just generally does everything possible to get under your skin. But as he wears Chicago on the front of his jersey, I love him. How can you not? He’s not afraid to say Cleveland is a dump and Kevin Garnett is a meany. Noah also possesses one of my favorite post-MJ Bulls memories when he took a steal coast-to-coast in the third overtime of Game 6 against the Celtics in the playoffs, sealing the deal with a posterization of Paul Pierce. In the blue corner you have Novak, one of my favorite nonBulls player in the Association. I don’t think I need to explain myself for this one seeing as you are reading this in the MARQUETTE Tribune. Heck, I already devoted a full column to him earlier in the year. He’s as likeable player as there is in the NBA even if you aren’t a Warrior, constantly playing the game with a smile on his face and pulling out the Discount Double Check after big buckets.

I want Marquette to succeed in all aspects of the word so having a likeable NBA sharp-shooter like Novak represent the school is about as good as it gets for me. So here I am Sunday watching two of the players I like most shooting visual and verbal daggers at each other, completely befuddled as to how I’m supposed to react. My head said side with Noah and call Novak a crybaby for trying the whole take-the-balland-go-home routine when things don’t go your way. Just shut up and play. My heart said side with Novak and call Noah an ugly jerk for trying to provoke Novak by needlessly meddling into something that wasn’t his business and acting like a fool. Keep your hands off him. Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Lucky for me I was working on a monster of a story — which you should go check out on page 8 right now — with a coach who has experienced a similar type of dissonance.

Marquette volleyball coach Bond Shymansky graduated from Iowa — twice — yet took his first college volleyball coaching job as an assistant at arch rival Iowa State. Ouch. “I grew up as a Hawkeye, but when I got to Iowa State I got to know the coaches and the players competing out there,” Shymansky said. “You realize you are cheering for the people. The level of investment you have in the people is so much deeper than the colors when you went to the school.” What exactly does that mean for me? Suck it Novak — at least for now. I may hang your Marquette jersey in the annals of my closet, but I have a much deeper connection with Noah and have more invested in his team’s success than Novak’s. Just remember Chi-town fans, come playoff time, your Marquette ties with Steve, Zar and Dwyane get thrown out the window. For one month, and only one month, red is greater than blue and gold. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

The Golden Eagles (11-9) got off to a hot start against the Bulls (146), winning two of three doubles matches.

Paula Montoya and Lucie Rey in the third position. South Florida dominated once singles play began en route to a 4-1 victory. The Bulls won four of the six matches in singles play. Dawson and Pimienta were heading to a third set in singles play when play was halted. Marquette couldn’t earn a point against the VCU, ranked 48th in the country, losing 7-0 on Saturday. The closest the Golden Eagles came to earning a point was an 8-6 defeat by the doubles team of senior Kristina Radan and Diaz. The Golden Eagles will finish the regular season with a trip to DePaul this Saturday.

Baseball: Nerves don’t derail perfection

strikeout, a ground ball out, and another fly ball out to Horrigan put him three outs away. “In the seventh inning, I was shaking,” Walker said. Those nerves almost got the best of him. Sitting just two outs away from perfection, Walker dug himself into a 3-0 count against catcher Ty Johnson. But Walker’s focus helped him recover,

throwing three straight strikes to record his twelfth punch out of the game. Fittingly, Walker also struck out the final batter of the game. “I really just tried to block out everything else. When I did throw balls, I couldn’t get in my own head or else I’d get down on myself,” Walker said. “If you let it get to you, you’re going to mess up.”

Making the afternoon all the more special was that Walker’s parents, Keith and Laurie Walker, were in the stands for the first time since his freshman season. Dan’s father had been his coach for 11 years. “My dad was probably the proudest guy in the world that day, and my mom was tearing up,” Walker said. “It was pretty cool.”

MEN’S LACROSSE

Smistad adapts to position change Leadership skills make him a stand out for captainship By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

According to Marquette lacrosse head coach Joe Amplo, when first meeting Marquette lacrosse junior Andrew Smistad, you could easily be intimidated by his long blonde hair, imposing build and resemblance to Bon Jovi. Amplo a;so said this is a reminder not to “judge a book by its cover.” “Smistad is one of those guys that does things to the best of his ability all the time,” Amplo said. “Whether its on the field, in the weight room or in the classroom, he’s always trying to push himself past his limits.” Smistad made his way to Marquette after Presbyterian College decided to discontinue its men’s lacrosse program. He was a close defender for the Blue Hose, but the Marquette coaching staff decided to convert him to a defensive midfielder. Although experienced as a close defender, Smistad knew that the move would better the team. His roots with the close defensive side of the game go back a few years, as he played defense for the 2008 Jr. ‘A’ Calgary Mountaineers team that went on to win the Canadian Box National Championship. On that same team were Tyler and Matt Melnyk, two brothers that also played for Presbyterian and brought their talents to Marquette. Amplo sees a lot of coach John Orsen in Smistad. Orsen was a player under Amplo at Hofstra and similarly had his position

men’s Tennis Seniors Drake Kakar and Jonathan Schwerin went out with a bang on Senior Day Sunday as Marquette (9-12) slid past Northern Illinois (18-6), 4-3. Schwerin and sophomore Dan Mamalat took an 8-3 victory at the No. 1 doubles spot over Axel Lagerlof and Dor Amir, and the Golden Eagles secured the point with a win from Kakar and freshman Vukasin Teofanovic at No. 3 over Maximilian Phillips and Frederic Cadieux (8-4). In singles play, Teofanovic continued a perfect day with a 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) win over Roman Turtygin at No. 2 while Mamalat took care of Amir (4-6, 6-1, 6-3) at No. 1. The match was clinched when Kakar downed Phillips (6-3, 6-4) at No. 6, which snapped an eight-match winning streak for the Huskies. Kakar finished 2-0 in his final home match, while Schwerin was unable to come up with his second victory of the day, dropping a match at No. 4 singles to Maksym Bartiuk (6-3, 2-6, 6-3). Marquette finished 7-2 at home this year and will play DePaul on Saturday in its final regular season match of the year.

HEY, YO

switched to benefit the team. “(Smistad) is a lot like coach Orsen in the sense that he shows up and does his work on a daily basis,” Amplo said. As a junior and having played two years at Presbyterian and several years of club lacrosse with Calgary, Smistad is one of the most experienced players on the team. He believes that one of his strengths is that he is able to voice his experience to underclassmen on the team. “I’ll listen to what everyone else has to say. I don’t always get mad when someone makes a mistake, but I point it out to them,” Smistad said. “Being respectful is another thing. I’m looking at making the team work together well instead of being a dictator type of leader.” Sophomore Ben Dvorak has been working with Smistad for a year, and Smistad’s character and ambition is something Dvorak admires after he was able to get to know him. “He’s the type of guy that won’t miss class. He’s always on time. He’s always working the hardest, and you don’t have to ask him to do that because it’s natural for him,” Dvorak said. “You immediately notice those things about his work ethic and the way he carries himself.” With the position change, Smistad is not likely to start racking up accolades right away, but Amplo believes that he will always have an impact in the team in other ways. “I would be shocked if when it comes time to elect a captain for this team that (Smistad) is not one of the guys that most players considered,” Amplo said. “He’s the type of person that will always impact the team on the field, because he’s always going to work as hard as he can.”

trophy, but it would be difficult to argue that this year’s team was not one of the best in the country. Marquette lost only one game during the regular season, and had three players named to an All-American team. Outside hitters Jennifer Ciriacks and Aikins were tabbed first team All-Americans, while libero Amy Deelo

was named to the second team. The team loses Deelo and setter Stephanie Ryding, an AllAmerican in 2011, to graduation, but the team expects to compete for a national championship again next season. “It will be hard to lose such key players,” Aikins said. “However, we have what other teams don’t:

the best coach in the nation. She can turn any team into a contender for a national championship. We owe all our success to her.” Marquette may not have taken home the hardware it wanted to, but will still be filed away as one of the best in its program’s history.

Sports History

After Tom Crean’s departure in 2008, Marquette was linked with up-and-coming coaches around the country, like Sean Miller (then of Xavier). Golden Eagles faithful thought their job was just too good to turn down for many around the country. So, it was quite a shock on April 8th, 2008, when it was announced that Buzz Williams was going to be the new head coach at Marquette. Williams was an assistant for only one year at Marquette under Crean and had one year of coaching experience under his belt, at New Orleans from 2006-’07. No one knew much about Williams. No one knew the path he had traveled to make it to where he was then, and no one knew what an entertaining personality the Golden Eagles would be getting. The only thing people knew at the time was they were shocked. After signing a six-year contract with Marquette, Billy Gillespie (for whom Williams was an assistant for at Texas A&M) described Williams as “tenacious.” At this point, that sounds about right. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu
