Across nation, schools struggle to retain minorities Data displays MU performing well in other categories By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

Nationally, minority students have a lower retention and graduation rate than their white counterparts. Marquette is no exception. While Marquette students outperform their national counterparts at graduating in four and six years, not all races graduate the university at an equal rate. Of first-time, full-time freshman who entered Marquette in 2004, 62 percent graduated in four years and 81 percent graduated in six years. Nationally, 52.5 percent of students in that same group (four-year private, not-forprofit schools) graduated in four years, and 65.5 percent graduated in six years. According to data compiled by Marquette’s Office of Institutional Research and Assessment from The Chronicle of Higher Education’s College Completion report, those graduation rates are not even across races. 82.3 percent of white students in the 2004 freshman class graduated within six years, while 68.9 percent of black

students graduated within the same period. Nationally, white and black students graduate within six years at rates of 68 percent and 44.9 percent, respectively. Students from most other identified races on campus (including Hispanic, American Indian and Other) also surpassed national six-year graduation rates, although Asian graduation rates on campus were slightly lower than national statistics, 73 percent versus 76.2 percent. The data also states retention of Marquette students from admission to the following year (in 2004) is fairly consistent across ethnicity, at about 89 percent. Alexandra Riley, associate director of the OIRA, said the office does not have access to retention by ethnicity for other institutions, so peer data is not available. Anne Deahl, associate vice provost for academic support programs and retention, said the university chooses to look beyond race when examining retention and graduation rate data. “We have intensely successful minority students at Marquette,” Deahl said. “But many times diverse students come from risk backgrounds. What we’ve chosen to look at is the reasons why students struggle.” See Retention, page 5

Stossel: Individuals key

John Stossel discussed topics such as the power of individuals and big government in the Weasler auditorium.

Author, anchor talks big government before hundreds By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

Fox News anchor and author John Stossel entertained a crowd of Marquette students and Milwaukee residents with a discussions about why big government fails and his new book yesterday in the Weasler auditorium. The event was sponsored by Young Americans for Freedom

(YAF), which is the Marquette chapter for the national conservative organization the Young America’s Foundation, the Diederich College of Communication, the political science honor society Pi Sigma Alpha, College Republicans and the student activity fee. Stossel hosts a show on Fox Business that bears his name and recently released his new book, “No, They Can’t: Why Big Government Fails-But Individuals Succeed.” YAF chairman and senior in the College of Business Administration Craig Maechtle opened the event by inviting the audience to talk to Stossel and members of the organization after the event.

“We want to hear what you have to say,” he said. Maechtle added that he was proud of the work put into the event, and that Marquette was able to host such a big name on campus. “I just think that Mr. Stossel has such a unique and interesting point of view,” he said. “We were lucky to be able to hear him speak tonight. We had a great turnout as well.” Along with 150 Marquette students and 300 members of the See Stossel, page 5

Milwaukee clears EPA’s air quality standards New study shows city’s policies may be having good effect By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu

national standards would push Milwaukee into that safe bubble. Michael Switzenbaum, professor and executive associate dean of Marquette’s department of civil, construction and environmental engineering, said Kenosha will likely not be exempted from Chicago’s high pollution because of the way air pollution travels. “There has been a lot of progress in Milwaukee, while Kenosha is part of the Chicago region,” Switzenbaum said. “You have political boundaries, but the way air pollution travels you need air pollution boundaries.” Clifford Crandall, a Marquette associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, said air pollution regulations are a complex issue. “There are some real problems

Milwaukee’s MCTS has taken extensive efforts to help the city reach its national standard for ozone pollution.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to conclude that the metro Milwaukee area has met a new national standard for ozone levels, but Kenosha County will likely not meet the standard due to its proximity to Chicago. The EPA conclusions will be based on data from 2008 to 2010, and will be formally announced May 31. Neither Milwaukee nor Kenosha currently resides in an “attainment” area, one where EPA-regulated ozone standards are met. Meeting

Veteran program steps up information gathering Ambitious goal set to benefit ex-military and medical studies By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu

Number of sites participating nationwide: 40 Estimated range of enrollments per week in Milwaukee: 50-100 Number of years left of enrollment: 7 Estimated number of years until program hits one million: 6 Source: Jeffery Whittle, Million Veteran Program, Milwaukee head Graphic by Zach Hubbard/zachary.hubbard@marquette.edu

The Milwaukee Veteran’s Association Hospital is boosting participation in the Million Veteran Program, a nationwide effort to collect blood samples and medical records from over a million veterans to create a comprehensive medical database. The program, which started last October, is aimed at helping researchers make connections between various symptoms and their possible causes. The Milwaukee VA hospital is one of 40 sites across the country participating in the program, though the Milwaukee site has been more active than the program nationally, according to Jeffery Whittle, head of the program in Milwaukee. “Nationwide, (the program heads) are a little disappointed in terms of how they enrolled folks,” Whittle said. “Milwaukee has been outstanding, though.” Whittle said enrollment started off slowly on Oct. 26, and has

MUSG gets safety rundown LIMO numbers strong, though some crimes on the rise By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

Last Thursday, Marquette Student Government saw a presentation from Larry Rickard, director and chief of Public Safety. Rickard said that robberies and vandalism are down around campus. However, batteries and thefts are up. Vandalism is down from 8 to 3 incidents and theft has increased from 27 to 43 incidents this year. Rickard said the batteries have been non-Marquette affiliated, though DPS officers did respond. Rickard also said the LIMO transport service has completed 47,000 transports, and the LIMO Express service has completed 11,000 transports this year. Rickard said there is also another form of early morning

transportation, the LIMO Scout, a minivan service that gives students rides at intervals from 3:305 a.m, after the other LIMO’s have stopped running. There were 172 students have used this service. Rickard said that this service is mainly for those who are leaving the library. “We want to make sure students get home,” Rickard said. Rickard also went over Marquette’s crisis incident management policy. Rickard said that he is in charge of making the decision to lock down the campus should a threat occur and notifying students of the threat through text messages and email. Rickard said that they have reformulated the plan to decrease wait time for the Milwaukee Police Department to respond. Rickard said his officers have trained closely with the MPD Special Weapons and Tactics team in active shooter response. “These things happen quickly. We need to be able to intercede in an active shooter situation,”

Rickard said. Rickard urged the senators and students to sign up for text messaging on CheckMarq. “Whether there’s a crime spike or not, safety is an important piece of your experience here. We want to keep you safe,” Rickard said. To prevent theft, Rickard urged students not to leave their things unattended and unsecured, especially laptop computers. MUSG Financial Vice President Brittany Riesenbeck presented on the Fiscal Year 2013 budget. The budget is based off the student activity fees from projected enrollment numbers. The proposed budget for the FY13 year is $469,750 with 30.5% going to Student Organization Funding at $130,700. Riesenbeck said the deadline to apply for funding for events occurring within the first week of the next academic year is April 20. Riesenbeck is a sophomore in the College of Business Administration. MUSG’s budget this past year was planned at $522,900.

been gradually picking up since. “Since January we have been enrolling between 50 to 100 per week,” Whittle said. “Now we are reliably hitting 80 a week.” William Cullinan, dean of the College of Health Sciences, said the program could be very important in discovering how a particular environment can have certain health effects, in this case on veterans. “(The Million Veteran Program) looks to be an important undertaking,” Cullinan said. “While it is occasionally the case that a single defective gene is responsible for a particular disease state, in most cases the relationships between gene states and health are far more complex and dependent on interactions with environment.” Ailments the program hopes to address include diabetes, heart disease and post-traumatic stress disorder. Whittle said veterans may be a more willing sample for a large database than other groups, possibly because their health problems have more complex causes. “(Veterans) are more willing to do this than the general population,” Whittle said. “Veterans have some issues that may not be well-addressed.”

Cheryl Shefchik, a recruiting operations officer in the Department of Military Science and Leadership at Marquette and an Iraq War veteran, said exposure to environmental factors while overseas has affected veterans in the past, including herself. “What I see in older soldiers that I work with and veterans with the first Gulf War is a lot of effects of things they were exposed to, such as chemical attacks,” Shefchik said. “More recent issues would be exposure to burning trash, burning feces, human remains and a lot of dust and sand. I have a lot of sinus issues since I returned from Iraq that I did not (have in the past).” Shefchik said the Million Veteran Program will help find solutions to many of these ailments. “Getting a lot of data, a lot of analysis and being able to see patterns can really have a substantial effect,” Shefchik said. “The Million Veteran Program is doing that.” The Veterans Association plans to continue to enroll veterans for the next five to seven years. Whittle said the program should reach the one million mark around 2018.

EPA: Kenosha not included

Retention: Other factors considered

Deahl said the university looks at three risk backgrounds: commuter students, first-generation college students and low-income backgrounds. “If someone doesn’t graduate, it doesn’t mean failure,” Deahl said. “Student success is a complicated issue. Students are whole people and it is not all about innate academic ability.” Deahl said factors nationwide that contribute to student success are academic preparation, academic motivation and financial capacity. “Even though our rates are high we continue to make (graduation and retention) a priority,” she said. Deahl said Marquette has spent a lot of time on student success in the last two years. She said changes have been made in student educational services to improve students success. The office hired a full-time academic services coordinator who meets individually with students on probation, expanded existing programing and is trying to target students who are most likely to need support at Marquette. Karen Desotelle, director of Marquette’s Office of Student Educational Services, also emphasized the struggle of being a first-generation or low-income student. She said almost half of the low-income, first-generation students of color commute to Marquette, which can be an

added stressor. She said the goal of Student Educational Services is to create places that students feel comfortable going and help them feel connected with campus. She said Student Educational Services either does not collect data on the race of students involved in its programming or does not release it.

have a combination of academic, financial and social issues. She said the biggest need for all students is having someone that they trust who understands college to help them through the process and give perspective. “Marquette can be difficult if you are not a white student,” Desotelle said. “There aren’t very many students of color on campus.”

Stossel: Big government, big concerns Milwaukee community, the event was attended by elected officials such as Wisconsin State Senator Leah Vukmir. Annette Vinto, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences and YAF secretary, introduced Stossel, saying that he provides a perspective not provided in the classroom. “He encourages us to be a little more critical of our government,” she said. Stossel began the discussion by talking about the “frenzy” of the 2008 election and why we should think critically about Obama’s approach to the campaign, which said, “Yes, we can.” “Individuals are the ones in our society who succeed,” he said. Stossel used the example of the creation of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and its comparison to private screening companies at airports to make a point that over-spending and regulation in government has been ineffective. “Central planning appeals to people,” he said. “Life is complex, and some people want the smartest guy to direct it from Washington, D.C.” He added that relying on “central planners” is human nature, and helping people learn to do things on an individual basis is something that can be tough for people

to “wrap their heads around.” “You don’t need to be an expert for the free market to work its magic,” he said. “The free market would protect the ignorant, too.” The audience was active and reacted with applause and murmurs of agreement with Stossel’s criticism of government programs such as Occupational Standards and Health Administration and TSA. “As we get richer, we care more about safety,” he said. Stossel also touched on the “war against poverty” and how administrations as far back as Lyndon B. Johnson have made the poverty issue worse with social programs. Stossel was also critical of the Americans with Disabilities Act, saying that by making the disabled a protected class, they become “impossible to fire.” He said that this motivated employers to not hire them in the first place. “Before the act, 50% of the disabled were employed,” he said. “Now it’s 38%.” The idea of the liberal media bias also came up when Stossel talked about newsrooms he has worked in. He described himself as not conservative, but libertarian. “I think homosexuality is just fine, and I think prostitution should be legal,” he said. Throughout the talk, Stossel

continued to tell the audience that his objection to big government was “a moral one.” “That’s why when politicians say, ‘Yes, we can,’ I say, ‘No, we can’t,’” he said. Stossel has received criticism in the past for his controversial stances on issues like the Americans with Disabilities Act and drug legalization. He has also openly spoken out against certain elements of the Civil Rights Act and “Get Out the Vote” campaigns. Andy Suchorski, chairman of College Democrats of Wisconsin, said that Stossel’s appearance sent the wrong message. “John Stossel’s backward philosophy was rejected by an overwhelming majority of Americans throughout the 20th century,” he said. “It is important that Marquette students engage in an open and vigorous political debate, but we believe the choice between the parties is clear.” Morgan Johnson, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said that despite the extremity of some of Stossel’s ideas, he did provide some interesting perspectives. “I enjoyed the talk,” she said. “He provides a new perspective that you don’t often hear in the media.”

when you start to talk about air pollution: where it generates, migrates and where it is going,” Crandall said. “We have to deal with pollutants that migrate from other areas, mainly Chicago.” The Milwaukee area has improved air quality in part because of the use of reformulated gasoline, which has been costing Milwaukee residents more at the pump. Switzenbaum said the higher prices for the reformulated gasoline are necessary to finance a cleaner environment. “(Reformulated gasoline) does cost more,” Switzenbaum said. “But there is always a cost for meeting environmental objectives.” Crandall disagreed with the necessity, noting the effects the reformulated gas has on the economy. “As a consumer in this area, (I think) reformulated gasoline is something we should do away with,” Crandall said. In a January letter to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s office, the EPA called the Kenosha situation

“unique” because Illinois had submitted ozone data from 2009 to 2011, though it was not due until May of this year. The EPA also recognized that Kenosha had not been part of the Chicago nonattainment area in the past, though it cited a link between the air quality levels in Kenosha County and in adjacent Lake County in Illinois. William Brower, a Marquette professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, said that link could have long-term effects for Kenosha. “If (the problem is) prevailing winds, it almost doesn’t matter what Kenosha does,” Brower said. The EPA said it is open to discussing alternative approaches for Kenosha County, which means the county could submit new data like Chicago did, though it is not required and could possibly exceed the standard as well. Walker is planning to provide a written response to the EPA by Friday.

Apple, publishers face gov’t. lawsuit E-book pricing prompts the Justice Department to act By Monique Collins monique.collins@marquette.edu

The U.S. Justice Department served Apple Inc. and five leading publishers with an antitrust lawsuit, charging that the publishing companies worked with Apple to artificially raise e-book prices. The investigation suggests that publishers agreed to increase e-book prices to match Apple’s iBookstore, which prices e-books between $12.99 and $14.99. Of the publishers sued, Hachette Book Group, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins have agreed to a settlement that required them to end e-book contracts with Apple and any other retailer with a “most favored nation” clause, which states that no other retailer can sell e-books for lower prices. The other two publishers sued were Macmillan and Penguin Group USA. Erin Crum, vice president of corporate communications for HarperCollins, released a statement saying the company did not violate any antitrust laws and plans to comply with its obligations under the agreement. Amazon, one of Apple’s rivals in some markets, has long held control over the e-book market. With the introduction of the iPad, former Apple chief executive officer Steve Jobs hoped to shift control in Apple’s favor.

Since 2010, Amazon’s hold on the e-book market has decreased to 60 percent, 30 percent less than previous years. Amazon, which sells e-books for $9.99, used its low prices to attract readers to its own e-reading device franchise, the Kindle. “I chose the Kindle Fire because I was able to use books I had to trade in for the e-reader,” said Jody Erickson, a graduate student at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. “For about $199, I am able to do all of things that I want to do for a fraction of the cost of an iPad.” “I have been able to buy many new releases for under $10 and books for my boys to read for as little as 99 cents,” Erickson added. This lawsuit could result in lower e-book prices for consumers and less competition between e-book retailers. The Department of Justice’s lawsuit also brings great news for Amazon, which plans to continue lowering e-book prices. But Erickson said the investigation and lawsuit might not bring all good change. “Authors should be compensated for their work, so I’m hoping this doesn’t bottom out prices, for their sake,” Erickson said. In an open letter, Scott Turow, president of the Authors Guild, said the Department of Justice was “on the verge of killing real competition in order to save the appearance of competition.” Apple and the publishers are also dealing with a similar lawsuit with the European Commission.

I never get tired of the blue sky. - Vincent van Gogh

In a recent opinion piece titled “Maybe we’re the problem with sexual health,” sexual health was intelligently discussed in a Roman Catholic context. The article was well written and the author deserved having his opinion published for both its value and the quality of its presentation. While I respect his opinion, I found his article overstepped the right to religious freedom when he criticized people who have premarital sex for being “blind to the truth of Christ.” For most people of European descent, sexuality and morality have been intertwined ever since the Bible required that Christians avoid “sexual immorality” (Acts 15:20). Marquette University obviously supports the opinion that prompted my response. You do not have to search the school’s website far to find messages advocating tolerance or advertising the diverse environment that is being cultivated. I have to ask, is a school that actively discourages differences of opinion on sexual health truly diverse? Students are required at all times to adhere to the moral standards that the Bible sets forth. The policies of the residence halls are one clear example of this moral pressure, as was the firing of Jodi O’Brien, the openly gay college administrator and would-be-dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Did the definitions of tolerating diversity change, or is the school doing one thing and saying another? There are plenty of denominations of Christianity that are accepting of contraceptives, homosexuals and other

controversial issues surrounding sexual health. There are also 5 billion people in the world that have non-Christian conceptions of what it means to be a moral person. Where is the religious freedom that is guaranteed by the Constitution? If I don’t agree with Christianity, does the school have a right to ignore my opinions? The following is quoted from the article that prompted this essay, “…questioning the Church’s teachings because they differ from our own desires reflects our lack of trust in God’s design of human sexuality.” I do not think this is a fair standard to put on people. I have found that there is a rich diversity of views on sexual health and religion at this school. The author was violating the spirit of tolerance by applying a Christian moral framework to the actions of everyone in the student body. When I filled out my application to come here there was no drop down window that asked me to read the Bible and check “I agree to the terms and conditions” before applying. Marquette can approach the issue however it wants, and students will continue to hump like, well, college students. Either way, it is unfair to use a religion that not all students adhere to as the justification for a lack of attention to their sexual health. It’s like drinking between the ages of 18 and 21: if people do it regardless of the consequences, then perhaps it’s time to reconsider why they are there at all. Ryan T. Brennan Sophomore, College of Arts & Sciences

Beverage consumers, beware

Kelly White Who doesn’t love a good tailgate? Brats, bags, beers. The afternoon of champions, regardless of how the team does, right? As baseball season gets into full swing, so too does the season of great tailgating. And what a spot Miller Park provides: spacious parking lots filled with casual fans who have packed their coolers to perfection. Whether you are an avid Brewers fan or just learning which direction the players run around the bases (it’s counter-clockwise), tailgating unites fans and makes the baseball game an event far longer than nine innings — and usually a lot more fun. I did not realize the joys of such pregame events until college. A lifetime lover of baseball, I grew up watching the Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit. While Detroit has sort of turned into an abandoned parking lot, the stadium itself offers minimal space for tailgating. Instead, most parking is in distant private lots and underground structures, thus making grilling virtually impossible. Sure, I had heard of tailgating and even participated in some events before football games, but baseball tailgating was a pipedream. Then I came to Milwaukee, where the beer flows stronger than the river, and the smell of malted hops and barley infiltrate my nostrils whenever there is a

For the greater glory of ... Outside the Catholic bubble at Marquette By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

Jasleen Bhasin, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, lives and works on Marquette’s campus. But to practice her faith, she has to take a bus —all the way to the Sikh temple near General Mitchell International Airport. “We don’t mind going there,” Bhasin said, “but it would be nice if we had a place of prayer on campus.” The Sikh student population on campus is small, Bhasin said, and she is working to create awareness through an as-of-yet-unnamed student organization. She said most people do not understand the fundamental teachings of the religion, a comparatively young faith at only 500 years old. Many confuse Sikhism with Islam, as both religions call for the wearing of turbans and long hair. The religion is faced with stereotyping and discrimination, she said, because of the lack of awareness and understanding. “I am so proud to be a Sikh,” Bhasin said. “Most people don’t even know what it is. I want to let them know more about Sikhism; then they can choose to respect it or not. While most students at Marquette identify as Catholic, there are many other world religions represented on campus, including Judaism, Hinduism and Islam. According to the Fall 2011 census of first-time, full-time students, 62 percent of incoming students are Catholic, and 19 percent are of another Christian religion. Students who ascribe

to other world religions or have no religious affiliation make up 3 percent each, and 13 percent did not report or did not know their affiliation. Arica VanBoxtel and Bill Neidhardt, the newly elected president and vice president of Marquette University Student Government, said they are open to learning more about diverse religions on campus. Their platform focused on improving diversity and inclusivity at Marquette, but they want to hear what students have to say about

the topic of religious diversity before formally addressing it. To begin the process, VanBoxtel said a President’s Diversity Task Force will be created to gather perspectives representative of various groups on campus. The task force builds on the current MUSG Diversity Roundtable discussions, which bring together students to converse and make suggestions for improvements to inclusivity on campus. “Every student should have the opportunity to voice

their opinions and concerns,” VanBoxtel said. “It is our goal to listen to students and hear what they want to see on campus.” Neidhardt said the task force will continue to forge a relationship between MUSG and Campus Ministry. The organizations worked together earlier in the year to make improvements to the Muslim Prayer Space in the Alumni Memorial Union. Neidhardt, who co-authored the legislation for improvements, said members of Campus Ministry brought the issue to MUSG’s attention and helped in writing the legislation. “(Campus Ministry’s) expertise and heartfelt desire for every student to express their faith fully was a driving force for that legislation and is certainly something we

want to bring to the taskforce,” Neidhardt said. Steve Blaha, assistant director of Campus Ministry, said student support from MUSG and the Muslim Student Association was integral in the project. The Muslim Prayer Space, located on the fourth floor of the AMU, can now be regularly accessed by students, rather than only for communal prayer on Fridays. Daily prayer is offered at 1 p.m. Blaha said he would like to see a bigger space provided for students in the future, as the current room is not sufficient for the Muslim community’s needs. The ideal Muslim Prayer Space, Blaha said, would be large enough to accommodate 50 or more people and include a gathering place outside the prayer room. Ablution, or ritual washing, facilities would also be

offered, so that students do not have to use public restrooms to wash. A larger prayer space in the center of campus, along with the Chapel of the Holy Family and the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, is as symbolic as it is convenient for students to access. “The central location sends the important message that the university is grounded in faith,” Blaha said. In addition to improvements to the Muslim Prayer Space, Campus Ministry has been working with university administration to create more prayer spaces on campus that are easily accessible to students. Each residence hall has an ecumenical chapel, but students not living in the halls cannot access them. “Within the next year, we will be exploring the possibility for more flexible spaces that could be available to a variety of faith traditions while still honoring those traditions,” Blaha said In addition to offering Catholic Masses every Sunday at the Chapel of the Holy Family and Monday through Thursday nights at the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, Marquette also sponsors worship opportunities for other Christian faiths.

are held Sundays at 6 p.m. in the Chapel of the Holy Family. Jewish services are held at Hillel Milwaukee, 3053 N. Stowell Ave., on the East Side. Still, Blaha said he would like to do more programming for lesser-known faiths, such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Hinduism and Sikhism. Marquette may be a religiously-affiliated university, but it should also continue to set a standard of inclusivity, he said. “We want to be a place that does a service to the greater world,” Blaha said. “There is plenty of violence and strife over religion. Marquette should be a model of dialogue, growth and communication in religion.” Campus Ministry intends to enhance this communication by collaborating with ministers from faiths on campus to help students learn more about their own faith and that of others. The goal is for all students to view their faith and their inherent person as welcome at Marquette, especially if they are not Catholic. “We want to invite students to explore who they are as human beings through both reason and faith,” he said, “We want to better embody that students of all traditions are invited to grow in their faith here.”

Rare dual meet gets team aquainted to Florida sun MU drops decision to Florida Atlantic by five full strokes By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s golf team went a little off the beaten path last Friday, taking on Florida Atlantic in a rare dual match at the par-72 Abacoa Golf Course. The Golden Eagles lost 304-299 to the Owls in one day of competition despite solid performances from freshman Adam Chester and junior Ryan Prickette. Chester matched Florida Atlantic’s top finisher with an even-par 72, while Prickette finished second for Marquette with a 76. In an all-or-nothing single round of play, however, every stroke took on more importance and the Golden Eagles again were unable to pull off a complete top to bottom performance. Coach Steve Bailey was impressed with Chester’s performance as he continued to observe the freshman’s raw talent. Bailey said Chester still has work to do to become an elite, complete golfer, but he hopes the rest of the team will rise to his level of play. “I think Adam (Chester) is a big part of it. He’s got worlds of

talent, and I think we’re going to see his scores continue to improve,” Bailey said. “We’re making his short game a big emphasis in practice, and if he can improve on his putting, he’ll get even better. We believe that good play is contagious, so we hope as he gets better the rest of the team will bring their games up to his level.” At the bottom of the lineup, senior Matt Haase shot a 13 over par 85 and sophomore Corey Konieczki shot a 8 over par 80. The difference between the one and six spots was again too big for Marquette to overcome. “Unfortunately for Matt (Haase) he had one really bad hole, and he put up a big number,” Bailey said. “Obviously we want contributions from all our guys, and we came up about five shots short this week.” Prickette said playing a dual match reminded him of his high school days and that it was cool to have a bit of a change in pace. He felt that the score wasn’t as close as the results portrayed, but that it was still a round that Marquette could’ve won. “We didn’t lose by a ton, but at the same time five shots in one round isn’t too close because over a stretch of three rounds it’s a fifteen shot difference,” Prickette said. “It’s hard to tell after a oneday tournament ... I thought we

were pretty evenly matched and we could’ve beaten them.” Bailey said the Big East Championships in Orlando, Fla., are the Golden Eagle’s focal point as the season winds down, and the anomaly of the dual meet gave his team some valuable experience in Florida’s golf environment. “The main reason for this was to go down there and get the competitive juices flowing again and get some more experience on Bermuda grass,” Bailey said. “It’s all preparation for the Big East Championships. They’re the highlight of the year for us, and we’re trying to do everything we can to get ready for them.” The team got a little extra practice in at a former PGA course, which Bailey said further helped the team prepare for the turf at the Big East Championships. “Fortunately we were able to practice as well while we were down there,” Bailey said. “We got to play PGA National, which is the site of the old Honda Classic. It was important to be able to play down south on a different type of grass than we’re used to.” Marquette will play one more regular season tournament this weekend at Notre Dame before heading back to the sunshine state for the Championships.

So you want to be a bandwagon fan? Andrei Greska You may have noticed a change in the landscape of Marquette’s campus. It’s not the flowers. It’s not weather. It’s not even the prospective newbies crawling out of the woodwork. It’s Blackhawks fans. You know exactly what I’m talking about. The red t-shirts and jerseys with the Indian on the front have replaced the gold fanatics shirt as the most popular garb on Wisconsin Avenue. Towes (Editor’s note: Yes Chicagoans, one of your own spelled Toews ‘Towes’), Kane and Hossa have taken over Wade, Matthews and Butler. It’s as if they were hibernating for the winter, waiting for the playoffs to begin and then BAM! The wind has changed directions, bringing in all sorts of new fans with it. I have a confession to make though. I am one of these bandwagon jumpers myself. Ask me what Chicago’s record was this season, and I’d be more likely

to solve Greece’s debt crisis than get that answer correct. Here’s another confession. I’m not ashamed. I love being a fair-weather Blackhawks fan. I get to skip six months of tedious skating and fighting, going straight for the exciting action of Stanley Cup Playoff hockey. It’s like getting to pass over aunt Marge’s meatloaf and diving straight into the molten lava cake brownies. Who’s going to say no to that? I mean seriously, why do “real fans” care so much whether or not I saw Chicago’s 3-0 loss at Carolina on Oct. 28? Does that make their fandom more legit? While we’re at it, almost all Blackhawk fans in existence are bandwagon jumpers in some way or another. The team averaged 12,727 fans during the 2006-’07 season. Tickets were easier to get than a Lindsey Lohan D.U.I. Why weren’t you there? Not to mention that the home games were not televised, so if you didn’t physically go to the game you couldn’t watch it. Isn’t it a good thing more people like your team, or are we living in some hipster utopia? My name is Andrei Greska, and I am a bandwagon fan. See Greska, page 13

the facts The Marquette women’s tennis team finished the dual meet season 11-10, good enough for a seventh seed in this weekend’s Big East Championships. They will take on tenth seeded St. John’s on Thursday at 8 a.m. in Tampa, where USF is the host. Marquette did not play the Red Storm this season but did win the squad’s last matchup in 2009 with a clean 7-0 sweep. Should Marquette get past St. John’s it will then face host and second seed South Florida.

Deal with it. Bandwagonism — yes, I just made that word up — is a rocking good time when done correctly and isn’t limited to Blackhawk hockey. Here are the four guidelines you must follow to be successful. 1.) Pick a good team This is the absolute most crucial rule to being a bandwagon fan. What good is it going to do you to root for a team that’s going to suck and won’t be around for longer than a week? The only exception is if you have previous ties to a team, whether through former playoff runs or city allegiances. In my case, I qualify for both exceptions, seeing as I’m from Chicago and rooted for them as they won their first Stanely Cup in Ihave-no-idea-without-lookingthis-up years. Just remember, the better the team the longer you get to have fun. 2.) Make sure you don’t sound like a complete idiot For the sake of all us true bandwagoners — see what I did there — don’t sully our reputation. We already have to deal with the fact that we are spineless, glory-hogging creatures. We don’t need to add stupid to our description. Look up the roster before the first game and know who the best player is. That’s really all you need, although you will get bonus points for

understanding team dynamics. Most importantly, know the basic rules of the sport you are watching. Don’t be asking about why they only play three “quarters” or why player “X” hasn’t fouled out yet. 3.) Follow through Once you commit to the cause, you can’t be all fairweather about it. You already got to skip 80-something games so you have no more free passes. That doesn’t mean you have to watch each game religiously, but at least watch the SportsCenter highlights. You don’t want to be “that guy” who has to ask the person next to you what happened in last night’s overtime thriller. Trust me, once you are in, it is best to go all in. 4.) Don’t be ashamed Just because they’ve been watching since the ’Hawks sucked doesn’t make them any better than you. In fact, it makes them kind of stupid for investing so much into it. Fans come in all shapes and sizes, and there is no minimum game requirement to root for a particular team at a particular time. Be proud and loud and spam people’s Facebook pages with angry/elated/bummed statuses. Don’t let anyone’s high horse get you down. When they ask where you were the whole season, tell them sorry — you had a life. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Women’s Tennis

men’s Tennis

The Marquette women’s tennis team was outclassed by No. 69 DePaul in its final match of the regular season, falling 5-2 to the Blue Demons. After a DePaul sweep of the doubles round left the Golden Eagles down 1-0, the Blue Demons continued their dominance in singles play, defeating sophomore Rocio Diaz, freshman Vanessa Foltinger, graduate student Kristina Radan and senior Gillian Hush. Senior Olga Fischer picked up a win at the No. 1 spot, defeating Patricia Fargas 6-4, 4-6, 10-7. Freshman Ana Pimienta secured Marquette’s other win, defeating Caroline Neumann 6-4, 6-7, 12-10 at the No. 5 spot. The Golden Eagles will have to work out the kinks as they have a chance to play DePaul again in this weekend’s Big East Championships.

The men’s tennis team ended its regular season by finally figuring out DePaul, beating the Blue Demons 4-3. The victory ended a six-match losing streak to its Big East rival. Marquette won the doubles point thanks to two clutch, hard-fought 9-8 wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. The tandem of senior Drake Kakar and freshman Vukasin Teofanovic sealed the point with their win over DePaul’s Matija Palinic and Adam Reinhart. Senior Jonathan Schwerin handled the No. 4 spot in singles with a quick 6-4, 6-4 decision, mirrored by Kakar at the No. 6 spot (6-3, 4-6, 6-0). It all came down to the No. 3 spot after DePaul rattled off three singles wins. Sophomore Logon Collins came back to win 7-5, 7-5 to secure the win for the Golden Eagles.

Both the men’s and women’s track and field teams took home first place honors at the 13-team Lee Calhoun Invitational in Macomb, Ill., last weekend. Nine women took first in their events, while six men did the same. On the women’s side, Marquette finished with 202 points, 36.5 points ahead of Western Illinois who hosted the meet. Sophomore Abby Croft won the pole vault at 12 feet 1 1/2 inches, a tie for the second best mark in program history. Fellow sophomore Gretchen Homan overtook the No. 4 mark all-time in the 400-meter dash and also set a personal record by taking first with a time of 56.36 seconds. As a team, the men edged out Augustana (Ill.) by 2.5 points to take home first place. Junior Kyle Winter and sophomore Evan Ross finished first and second in the 800-meter dash with times of 1:52.99 and 1:53.53, respectively. The time was a personal record for Ross. Senior Peter Bolgert and junior Patrick Maag also finished first and second, respectively, in the 1,500-meter run with times of 3:57.60 and 3:58.76. The mark was another personal record for Maag. The track team continues its spring season with three separate matches in California next weekend.

hitter next season. “There’s another level that she’s going to need to go,” Shymansky said. “There is another level of focus and intensity that’s going to come at her by opponents.” Carlson saw a lot of attention toward the end of last season but Shymansky and his staff saw her adjust well to new defensive schemes. Carlson had one of her best games in the NCAA Tournament against eventual runnerup Illinois when she posted 11 kills with only one attack error. Carlson is eager to be the No. 1 option in Shymanky’s up-tempo offense. “I know that it’s my job to get kills when the outside isn’t getting kills,” Carlson said. “It’s exciting to know that my team is depending on me and that I can execute with the opportunities that I have.” Carlson is saying all the right things and is beginning to take on the role of team leader. The Marshfield, Wis., native was named as a team captain along with sophomore libero Julie Jeziorowski. “Being a captain, there is self expectations and the weight of holding your teammates accountable for their performance,” Shymansky said. “It

takes a lot out of a person mentally and emotionally. Dani’s smart and mature enough to carry that mantle well for us.” Carlson will be asked to help out the two players asked to fill the hole left by Beyer and Jones, freshman Lindsey Gosh and sophomore Casey Read. “She has taken on a big role as a leader,” junior middle hitter Kelsey Mattai said. “She uses her experiences that she’s had thus far and is leading by example.” Carlson has begun to set lofty goals for herself. Two weeks ago she talked to Shymansky about pursuing a professional career when her playing days at Marquette are finished. Being fluent in Spanish, Carlson will have a plethora of opportunities to play in a Spanish-speaking country. Marquette volleyball has had three players play overseas over the last two seasons. Shymansky has coached eight studentathletes who have gone on to play professionally in his 10 seasons as a head coach. Losing two All-American athletes would cause some teams to take a step backward, but Carlson could put together a season that would rival any in Marquette volleyball history.

The recovery period for ACL tears is usually six to nine months, but Condon also needed repairs on his meniscus, extending his time on crutches. “We worked on strength and overall range of motion back to full go in terms of competition,” Johnson said. “Now what I stay on him is about his quickness.” Coach Joe Amplo believes Condon’s athleticism has a high ceiling, and he has the skill set to be a successful player as a freshman.

Johnson-Odom and Crowder share MVP award Banquet officially wraps up 2011-’12 basketball season By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Tribune File Photo

Senior Jae Crowder won four awards on the night, including the Dwyane Wade Legacy of Leadership Award.

Seniors Jae Crowder and Darius Johnson-Odom were the big winners at last Wednesday’s men’s basketball awards banquet, held at Milwaukee’s Renaissance Place. The night, hosted by former MUTV Sports reporter Brad Galli, celebrated both individual performances and the team’s 27-win, Sweet 16 season. Each player was awarded at least one of the 16 individual awards, most of which were presented by assistant coaches. Crowder took home four awards and shared the Most Valuable Performer award with Johnson-Odom. Crowder also won the Rebounding Effort, Most Valuable Performer and the Dwyane Wade Legacy of Leadership awards and shared the Defensive Player of the Year award with sophomore forward Jamil Wilson. The duo was thrust into a difficult role after junior center Chris Otule was lost to a torn ACL just eight games into the season. Facing talented Big East forwards and centers every night, Crowder and Wilson averaged over 12 rebounds and two blocks per game as the Golden Eagles’ only two front court players much of the conference season. Wilson finished 10th in blocks per game and Crowder second in steals per game. “In our league, you have to play against NBA draft picks,” said director of basketball operations Bart Lundy, who presented the award. “But these two guys whipped their tails.” Five awards, named after former players, were also handed out. Williams has named one award per year after the player who was selected for the honor. Wesley Matthews, Lazar Hayward, Joe Fulce and Jimmy Butler were recorded on video presenting their awards. Former walk-on Rob Frozena presented his “We Are Marquette”

award in person. Junior guard Junior Cadougan was the recipient of the Lazar Hayward “Everyday Tough” award. When Hayward won the award two years ago, he brought Cadougan, then a freshman, onto the stage to accept the award with him. That year, Cadougan returned to action just over three months after tearing his Achilles’ tendon, in part to help Hayward and fellow seniors Maurice Acker and David Cubillan make the NCAA Tournament. “I’m very appreciative of the man you’ve become,” Hayward said in the video. The Golden Eagles’ point guard also received the “Creates for Others” award. He averaged a team-best 5.5 assists per game and assisted on over 32 percent of Marquette’s made baskets when he was on the floor. Soft-spoken sophomore forward Davante Gardner provided some humor in his acceptance speech after winning the Jimmy Butler “Only Now Exists” award. “I want to thank the coaches for staying on me,” Gardner said. “Because they know I’m lazy.” The last award of the night, “Sacrifice for the String,” was presented by Williams to Johnson-Odom. Williams cited Johnson-Odom’s unlikely path to Marquette — he attended junior college as a freshman and committed to Marquette without having ever set foot on campus. He offered consistent performances last year, though this was somewhat overshadowed by Crowder’s historic season. Johnson-Odom was second in the Big East in scoring and was named an honorable mention All-American, but rarely shared the spotlight with Crowder, who was named a second team All-American. Johnson-Odom’s sacrifices, Williams said, led to the success the Golden Eagles enjoyed last year. It was a bittersweet evening as the players and coaches relived their record-breaking season for the last time as a team. “I always say this is the worst night of the year,” Williams joked, “because it’s the last time this group is going to be together.”

This Week in Marquette

Sports History At the 2009 Big East Men’s Golf Championship at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club in Dade City, Fla., Marquette’s Matt Haase made history, and Mike Van Sickle finished his historic career. Haase shot a tournament record 8-under 64 on April 21, 2009, the tournament’s final day, after posting scores of 73 and 74 on the first two days, which vaulted him into a tie for fifth place overall. Then a sophomore, Haase broke the record by two strokes, helping Marquette finish second. The same day Haase

posted his record score, the Golden Eagles posted the lowest team round of the tournament with a 273. Redshirt sophomore Ben Sieg shot his career low with a 68 that day, and Van Sickle shot a 2-under 70. Van Sickle was later named the Big East Conference Player of the Year for 2009 and shot 6-under overall, good for a tie for second. Van Sickle holds many Marquette season records. including the lowest average score (70), most rounds in the 60’s (15), and most tournament wins (5). matthew.trebby@marquette.edu
