Both Democratic and Republican groups have been raking in funds to support their respective candidates. The Republican Party of Wisconsin and Friends of Scott Walker have seen the most success in fundraising. The Republican Party has brought in $1,113,956, and Scott Walker’s team has brought in more than $12 million. Walker’s support groups have been the subject of scrutiny because of the large donations received from individual out-of-state
donors. Half of the contributions to Friends of Scott Walker have come from outside Wisconsin and 23 percent of the donations to the state Republican party were out of state. Friends of Scott Walker saw individual donations as large as $500,000. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has brought in $1,689,463, slightly more than the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Plan in place to end supplemental pension program By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu
Milwaukee Public Schools plans to end a 30-year-old supplemental pension program for teachers by freezing current teachers’ payments to the fund and denying new teacher participation. The decision will be enforced on July 1, 2013, when new state legislation that limits collective bargaining takes effect. John McAdams, an associate professor in the department of political science, supports the decision. “I think it is fair,” McAdams said. “When people can collect social security, which is substantial, and then you put on top of that the regular state pension and then you put this particular program on top of that — I’m not sure the taxpayers should fund a third taxpayer-funded pension.” The cost of the supplemental pension has doubled in the last 10 years, with unfunded legacy costs now sitting at

$133 million. Ending the supplemental pension is expected to reduce the legacy cost by $20 million during 2013-2014, the first school year it is gone. Janet Boles, professor emerita of political science at Marquette, said when the situation calls for it, cuts such as this must be made. “In tough economic times, school systems must look for these efficiencies, and the rationale for dropping the second MPS pension, beyond the state pension, appears to be sound,” Boles said. The supplemental pension was created in 1982 in addition to the primary Wisconsin Retirement System in an effort to offset penalties for early retirement that existed in the system. McAdams said that Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association–College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA–CREF), the retirement plan he has through Marquette, has penalties for early retirement and is correct in doing so. “I’m not sure it’s good policy not to penalize early retirement,” McAdams said. “(TIAACREF) certainly has an early retirement penalty. (The MPS system) has been changed to mitigate that early retirement.” Collective bargaining and Omnium hoctum ad rei firmanum ad auctala sedeo viveris, qui perum factudam opubis conti, quem auc tem convo, sa restuus.

pensions have been a statewide issue since last spring, with protests coming from public sector unions following Gov. Walker’s changes to collective bargaining. “Public sector workers are seeing significant pay cuts, and unlike other workers who have suffered in this economy, they know who is making the decisions that have led to that outcome,” Julia Azari, an assistant professor in the department of political science, said in an email. Azari also said that the pension discussion will probably need to adopt a new tone as it continues or policymakers will continue to face backlash from public sector workers. “Regardless of the policy wisdom of Gov. Walker’s actions, no subsequent governor will want to face the political consequences he has faced,” Azari said. “So I doubt people will start being civil for the joy of it, but it seems likely that political actors will start to perceive a more civil strategy as consistent with their interests in winning office and staying in office.” The elimination of the supplemental pension will not affect any teachers’ primary pensions.

Romney/Obama face off MKE housing sales on the rise Romney jabs Obama while pres. campaigns in Ohio
Sales up more than 25 percent, despite high foreclosure rates
By David Espo & Nancy Benac Associated Press
Their battle joined, challenger Mitt Romney savaged President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy on Wednesday while the commander in chief commiserated up close with victims of the recession and warned that Republicans would only make matters worse. “Obama is over his head and swimming in the wrong direction” when it comes to the economy, Romney said in a scorching speech delivered across the street from the football stadium where the president will deliver his Democratic National Convention acceptance speech this summer. “Even if you like Barack Obama, we can’t afford Barack Obama,” the former Massachusetts governor declared, an evident reference to the president’s ability to transcend at least some of the public’s dissatisfaction with the pace of the recovery. Romney quoted liberally — and mockingly — from Obama’s 2008 campaign pledges to repair the economy. At the same time, Obama sketched his case for re-election in swing-state Ohio, where he met with unemployed workers who have enrolled in job training programs. Then he spoke at the Lorain County Community College. “Right now, companies can’t find enough qualified workers for the jobs they need to fill” locally, he said. “So programs like this one are training hundreds of thousands of workers with the skills that companies are looking for. And it’s working.” By contrast, he said, between the years 2000 and 2008, Republican policies produced “the slowest job growth in half a century ... and we’ve spent the last three and a half years cleaning up after that mess.” Campaign symbolism counted for much on a day that seems destined to be replicated often in the six months until Election Day. The Republican challenger

delivered his scathing denunciation of the president’s policies with the Bank of America Stadium over his shoulder. Aides dubbed his remarks a pre-buttal to the president’s own, and earlyarriving partisans heard a recorded medley of rock music that included “It’s Still the Same.” Each man taunted the other at times. “I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth,” Obama said in an evident reference to Romney, whose father was president of American Motors, an automaker. Romney jabbed that unlike four years ago, when Obama walked through stage-set columns at his convention, things would be different this summer. “You’re not going to see President Obama standing alongside Greek columns. He’s not going to want to remind anyone of Greece,” Romney said, “because he’s put us on a road to become more like Greece,” where crushing debt has led to an austerity plan and public protests. It was only within the past two weeks that Romney shed his competition for the Republican presidential nomination, and he is still in the process of trying to unite his party after a threemonth primary struggle in which he had trouble appealing to hardcore conservatives. But already, elements of the fall campaign are falling into place. Obama’s campaign was airing Spanish language radio ads in Orlando, Fla., Las Vegas and Denver — all in states that the president won four years ago and that figure to be fiercely contested in the fall.
From Ohio, Obama hopscotched to Michigan for two fundraisers, the first a reception at Dearborn’s Henry Ford Museum, where Romney in 2007 launched his unsuccessful bid for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. Speaking in a museum named for the founder of Ford Motor Co., Obama got some of his biggest cheers when he highlighted his administration’s efforts to rescue the American auto industry. Later, at a private dinner fundraiser in Bingham Farms, he said that the industry’s recovery didn’t just help Michigan, it “helped to give America a vision of what we could be.” For his part, Romney arranged an appearance for Thursday at a factory in Lorain, Ohio, shadowing Obama’s Wednesday trip to the area. Obama toured the factory as part of his 2008 campaign — and it was closed later. Polls consistently show the economy is the top issue for the nation’s voters, who will decide whether to accept Romney’s indictment or Obama’s reassurances. Given recent trends, each man has a case to make. In Ohio, joblessness was 9.1 percent in February 2009, shortly after Obama took office. It stood at 7.6 last month. In North Carolina, joblessness was 9.5 percent then, and stands at 9.9 now. In Michigan, where Obama was appearing late Wednesday, it was 12.5 percent in 2009 and is 8.8 percent now. In all three states, unemployment rose in the months immediately after Obama took office as the recession deepened and financial markets trembled.

Broadcast legend Dick Clark dies at 82 Famed media man touted as music industry pioneer By Lynn Elber Associated Press
Dick Clark, the ever-youthful television host and producer who helped bring rock ‘n’ roll into the mainstream on “American Bandstand” and rang in the New Year for the masses at Times Square, has died. He was 82. Spokesman Paul Shefrin said Clark had a heart attack Wednesday morning at Saint John’s hospital in Santa Monica, where he had gone the day before for an outpatient procedure. Clark had continued performing even after he suffered a stroke in 2004 that affected his ability to speak and walk. Long dubbed “the world’s oldest teenager” because of his boyish appearance, Clark bridged the rebellious new music scene and traditional show business, and equally comfortable whether chatting about music with Sam Cooke or bantering with Ed McMahon about TV bloopers. He long championed black singers by playing the original R&B versions of popular songs, rather than the pop cover. Ryan Seacrest, who took over main hosting duties on the countdown show from Clark after the legend grew frail, said in a statement Wednesday that he was “deeply saddened.” “I idolized him from the start, and I was graced early on in my career with his generous advice and counsel,” Seacrest said. “He was a remarkable host and businessman and left a rich legacy to television audiences around the world. We will all miss him.” He thrived as the founder of Dick Clark Productions, supplying movies, game and music shows, beauty contests and more to TV. Among his credits: “The $25,000 Pyramid,” ‘’TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes” and the American Music Awards. “Dick Clark was a true pioneer who revolutionized the way we listened to and consumed music,” record executive Clive Davis said in a statement. “For me he ranks right up there with the giants of our business.” For a time in the 1980s, he had shows on all three networks and was listed among the Forbes 400 of wealthiest Americans. Clark also was part of radio as partner in the United Stations Radio Network, which provided programs — including Clark’s — to thousands of stations. “There’s hardly any segment of the population that doesn’t see what I do,” Clark told The Associated Press in a 1985 interview. “It can be embarrassing. People come up to me and say, ‘I love your show,’ and I have no idea which one they’re talking about.” The original “American

Bandstand” was one of network TV’s longest-running series as part of ABC’s daytime lineup from 1957 to 1987. It later aired for a year in syndication and briefly on the USA Network. Over the years, it introduced stars ranging from Buddy Holly to Madonna. The show’s status as an American cultural institution was solidified when Clark donated Bandstand’s original podium and backdrop to the Smithsonian Institution. Clark joined “Bandstand” in 1956 after Bob Horn, who’d been the host since its 1952 debut, was fired. UnderClark’s guidance, it went from a local Philadelphia show to a national phenomenon. “I played records, the kids danced, and America watched,” was how Clark once described the series’ simplicity. In his 1958 hit “Sweet Little Sixteen,” Chuck Berry sang that “they’ll be rocking on Bandstand, Philadelphia, P-A.”
As a host, he had the smooth delivery of a seasoned radio announcer. As a producer, he had an ear for a hit record. He also knew how to make wary adults welcome this odd new breed of music in their homes. Clark endured accusations that he was in with the squares, with critic Lester Bangs defining Bandstand as “a leggily acceptable euphemism of the teenage experience.” In a 1985 interview, Clark acknowledged the complaints. “But I knew at the time that if we didn’t make the presentation to the older generation palatable, it could kill it.” “So along with Little Richard and Chuck Berry and the Platters and the Crows and the Jayhawks... the boys wore coats and ties and the girls combed their hair and they all looked like sweet little kids into a high school dance,” he said. But there was more than just twisting on his show. During “Bandstand’s” first national season
in 1957, Clarkintegrated the show by adding popular black artists such as Chuck Berry, Chubby Checker, Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson to the guest lineups. He helped give black artists their due by playing original R&B recordings instead of cover versions by white performers, and he brought black teens on as dancers. “It still wasn’t acceptable for them to dance with white kids, so the blacks just danced with each other. We were waiting for the explosion, but it never happened,” Clark told Pennsylvania Heritage Magazine in 1998. “The wonderful part about our decision to integrate then was that there were no repercussions, no reverberations, no battles at all — it just happened right there on a television screen in front of millions of people. That was a giant step forward.” President Barack Obama issued a statement saying he and first
lady Michelle were saddened by Clark’s passing and lauded him for “reshaped the television landscape forever” and introducing the soundtrack of our times. “But more important than his groundbreaking achievements was the way he made us feel — as young and vibrant and optimistic as he was,” the statement said. His stroke in December 2004 forced him to miss his annual appearance on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” He returned the following year and, although his speech at times was difficult to understand, many praised his bravery, including other stroke victims. Still speaking with difficulty, he continued taking part in his New Year’s shows, though in a diminished role. “I’m just thankful I’m still able to enjoy this once-a-year treat,” he told The Associated Press by e-mail in December 2008 as another New Year’s Eve approached. He was honored at the Emmy Awards in 2006, telling the crowd: “I have accomplished my childhood dream, to be in show business. Everybody should be so lucky to have their dreams come true. I’ve been truly blessed.” Friends on Wednesday recalled a patient, encouraging man. “He was there for every crisis of my life and there were many,” Connie Francis said in statement. “Without Dick Clark there would have been no career because I was ready to abandon it. Dick was the most principled man I ever met in this business and treated everyone the same way, even if you were the little guy.” “I just always considered Dick a wonderful friend. He was always good and supportive of me, but every other musical performer I know of would say the same thing,” said Pat Boone. “Careers grew because of Dick Clark. He is going to be sorely missed.”

Salmonella scare sweeps across nation 14 cases of infection hit Wisconsin, no students affected By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu
Fourteen cases of salmonella have been confirmed in Southeastern Wisconsin as of April 17, and three of those patients were recently hospitalized. The infection, Salmonella Bareilly, has been linked to Grade A and AAA tuna recently distributed to restaurants and food establishments throughout the Milwaukee area. The Food and Drug Administration confirmed Moon Marine U.S.A. Corporation in Cupertino, Calif. is likely the source of the outbreak. The main product, known as Nakaochi scrape, is yellowfish tuna meat which is peeled from the fish’s bones and resembles ground meat. The product is then used in sashimi, ceviche and other raw dishes. The outbreak has infected six individuals in Milwaukee County, seven in Waukesha County and one in Washington County. Cases have been reported in 19 other states and the District of Columbia. Salmonella is caused by a bacterium which mainly
develops in and irritates the intestine. Most salmonella sicknesses are linked to improperly prepared foods. According to Sodexo nutrition facts and labels, Marquette students dining on campus should be safe, as campus-produced sushi uses local ingredients from various distributors. Regardless, Wisconsin officials have urged individuals to immediately contact their health care providers should they contract an illness from contaminated foods. An employee at Kiku Japanese Cuisine Restaurant, located at 202 W. Wisconsin Ave., who asked not to be named, said that since the outbreak and related warnings, business has plummeted. “People have definitely stopped coming,” the employee said. “And when they do come to eat they ask about the fish and usually order something else.” The employee added that the fear of contracting an illness has seemingly paralyzed customers and said he hopes the hype surrounding salmonella dies down soon. According to Marquette’s Office of Marketing and Communication, there have been no reported cases of salmonella on campus. Should an outbreak occur, instant notifications through email and text

messaging would inform the campus community, according to an Office of Student Development employee. Nalissa Wienke, media relations specialist at Milwaukee’s Froedtert Hospital, said salmonella is hard to control and even harder to pinpoint. “It’s even tough to see which patients may have been admitted for salmonella,” Wienke said. “There is a hard line between food poisoning and the more extreme.”

Wienke confirmed that no patients have yet to be admitted as a result of salmonella. Salmonella symptoms usually last four to seven days and often include vomiting, fever, diarrhea and abdominal pains, according to MSNBC. Julia DeBella, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, said if salmonella or a serious food-related issue arose on campus, she would feel confident in the university’s ability to find the source.
“They would have to notify the students and do something about it,” DeBella said. Wienke said that although salmonella is a serious issue, her hospital has not heard much about the sickness. “I think most cases are being dealt with privately,” Wienke said. Student Health Service was unavailable for comment as of press time.
Academic Senate talks research, eBooks Intellectual property and sensitive student info. discussed By Erin Caughey erin.caughey@marquette.edu
Marquette University’s Academic Senate opened its second-tolast meeting of the year with three main areas of action, including two proposals from the Committee on Research and a discussion of the Information Sensitivity Policy. The Committee on Research
presented two separate policies based on objectivity in research environments as well as ownership over faculty and student intellectual property. Doug Lobner, chair of the Committee on Research, presented a proposal for a new university policy titled “Promoting Objectivity in Research/Financial Conflict of Interest for Public Health Services Investigators.” Lobner also presented a proposal to amend the university’s Intellectual Property Policy, which was last updated in 1999. The proposal on objectivity research stated that the “policy helps to assure that high standards of
scientific integrity govern the conduct of sponsored projects, thereby bolstering public understanding and trust of science.” This proposal, according to Jeanne Hossenlopp, vice provost for research, needs to be implemented in August. The second proposal concerning the university’s Intellectual Property Policy defines the conditions of ownership when it comes to employees’ intellectual properties conducted using university resources. A debate was raised on the issue when Bruce Boyden, the law school faculty-elected member, expressed concerns with the language
of the document and what the proposal would mean for the rights of student works. “As to students, toward the end of the document, there’s an asserted ownership over student work to an extent that I’m frankly uncomfortable with,” Boyden said. He was referring to the proposal that states, “intellectual property created by a student during such employment or course of study shall be owned by the University.” Doug Smith, associate general counsel and writer of the two proposals, was present to address the concern. With respect to student work from teaching and research assistants that earn compensation in the form of credits, the university does not claim rights to the intellectual properties they may produce, he said. “The fact is the university has never claimed ownership in things like a database that a faculty member might prepare in connection with the faculty members’ individual research or the preparation of a scholarly work or paper,” Smith said. William Thorn, faculty-elected member for the journalism department, asked how works and submissions on D2L might be affected. Smith described D2L as merely a medium, which does not fall under the policy. Another policy discussed was the senate’s stance on the Information Sensitivity Policy. This addressed — according to the policy document and discussions — the actions that should be taken to assess the protection necessary to distribute sensitive information, both public and confidential. This includes the protection of student information and records, intellectual property and financial data.
Christine Krueger, a facultyelected member from the English department, made a point that all university business is out for the world to see as is. UAS chair James South determined that the issue is not resolved and will be discussed further in a later meeting. University Provost John Pauly provided the provost’s report on the update of the College of Arts & Sciences dean search, enrollment numbers, a policy on mandatory reporting of child abuse, a faculty survey of student engagement and the Higher Learning Commission. Pauly addressed the Higher Learning Commission by identifying four gaps throughout the university that need to be addressed, including better faculty evaluations, better documentation of student complaints, issues concerning assigning credit hours — specifically with internships — and applying services that better serve diversity. In his enrollment report for the upcoming year, Pauly said there have been 8 percent fewer deposits made than last year thus far. Pauly also said the top target for enrollment is to stay around 1,950 students. To close the meeting, Jon Pray, associate vice provost for educational technology, gave a presentation on the possible implementation of more eTextbooks on campus and preparing Marquette for that transition. Motivation for the shift to eBooks would be to take advantage of improving content of books as well as to lessen the weight of backpacks. “Dear goodness, can we save these kids some money. ... Can we save their backs?” Pray said.

Campaigns: Democrats rely on smaller donations from individuals candidates, like Friends of Kathleen Falk and Voters for Vinehout, brought in significantly smaller amounts. Graeme Zielinski, communications director for the state’s Democratic Party, said the party isn’t focusing on competing with donations brought in by Republican groups. “Scott Walker is blowing us out of the water when it comes to donations,” he said. “It will hurt him in the long run that he is listening to out-of-state people and not the people of Wisconsin.” Friends of Scott Walker and the state Republican Party could not be reached for comment. While the individual Democratic campaign groups had 10 percent or less coming from out of state donors, 33 percent of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s donations came from donors outside Wisconsin. Both political parties received
most of their donations from Political Action Committees (PACs) and received the next highest amount from individual donors. With the political climate heating up, some campaigns have seen recent surges in campaign donation amounts. Scott Walker’s team saw a huge surge in campaign donations made in December 2011 and January 2012. In comparison, the Democratic Party has seen fairly consistent donations since January 2011, ranging from $76,184 in April 2011 and peaking at $375,432 in November 2011. Friends of Scott Walker’s December donations peaked in December 2011 with $3,077,893. Zielinski added that the Democrats are focusing on gathering smaller donations. “We rely on small dollar donations,” he said. “We need all the help we can get.” Erik Kirkstein, political director

for United Wisconsin, said their group is also focusing on motivating grassroots donors. United Wisconsin is a PAC looking to recall Walker. “United Wisconsin has raised the overwhelming majority of its funds from the individual donations of hard-working people across Wisconsin,” he said. “Wisconsinites have been chipping in what they can afford to this grassroots movement.” C. Terrance Anderson, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said he has donated to political campaigns and believes college students may be less likely to make campaign donations because of having limited funds. “I donated because I wanted to help a campaign that I believed in but couldn’t volunteer for,” he said. “I didn’t donate much. I just wanted to show some kind of support, even if I couldn’t make a huge change in some way.”

Pilarz responded by telling MacKinnon that he had to go. “It was one of the most transforming trips,” MacKinnon said. “The students challenged me to think about what I was doing with my life and what is important to me.” At the end of the year, MacKinnon was going to get his promotion to a job in New York City. “I had a discussion with Father (Pilarz) because I just didn’t feel passionate about consulting anymore,” MacKinnon said. Pilarz hired MacKinnon as a full-time employee and said he wanted to create a chief of staff function for him to fill.

Marquette is due for a makeover
Ian Yakob If you’re anything like me, your approach to spring cleaning is to rent a power washer and hose the bejesus out of everything. According to dictionary.com, bejesus actually counts as a word, but I burned out of Words with Friends awhile ago so I can’t verify. Now, I could delve into detail about my own spring cleaning, but I’m a dull person. Instead, let’s prod around in some ideas about cleaning up campus. Take note, however, I’m only pretending to be whiny for the benefit of future students. Here we go. Raynor/Memorial Libraries. The only beef I have with going to the library (besides the lack of flash mobs) is that if I want to go to a quiet section of Memorial, I have to trek through miles of Ray Ray to get there. We need to either knock down a wall on the Memorial side and add a student entrance, or we institute water slides and fireman poles for rapid transport. Lalumiere Hall. Sure the outside is nice and notoriously arty, but the inside has earned itself a solid demolishing. I’m all for keeping the original architecture because of its iconic presence on the quad, but there’s
Re
no doubt the visual centerpiece is struggling internally. Sensenbrenner Hall. This is that building you’ve never noticed, right before the bridge to Straz Tower. I bet no one has step foot in there for ages. Now that I mention it, Marquette hides a full-sized, fire-breathing dragon in a secret lair in Sensenbrenner Hall. The RecPlex. The only thing worse than waiting an hour for Adonis to finally vacate the circuit of eight stations he was hogging is waiting that hour just to use cruddy equipment. Sadly, complaining that either gym needs work won’t get us anywhere because if one closes for renovations then the other will get so crowded that we would complain even more. The only alternative is to build a new Rec elsewhere, but right now that won’t work out, wink wink. Varsity Theatre. Still using the Ye Olde English version of “theater,” are we? This old bag of bones could easily be turned into something much sweetre. OK, I’ll stop. Speaking of old buildings, I’d guess most of the former administrative offices that moved into Zilber Hall two years ago haven’t been repurposed yet. Think of the possibilities. I give you … Trampoline Hall. Don’t get me wrong, the new buildings like Eckstein, the Disco (Discovery Learning Complex) and Zilber are all incredible. Those were well executed, and I’ll even admit letting Sobelman’s infiltrate campus was a good idea too, with the assumption that there was no possibility to keep Angelo’s. But for every good idea there’s a bad
idea, except in this case since I can’t come up with as many bad ideas. Marquette Medical School. Nope nope nope. Just because the only downtown Milwaukee emergency room is virtually on campus doesn’t mean Marquette needs to acquire its debt. Besides, having a dental school is good enough, because those things are mercilessly competitive, and I had a wonderful experience getting my wisdom teeth removed there my freshman year. The dorms. They are supposed to be raggedy — it’s part of the college experience to live as if fresh air were a scarce resource. It’s also a rule of life that freshmen must endure worse living conditions than upperclassmen. Otherwise we’d have nothing. A football stadium. Don’t get your hopes up. Also, at least have the courtesy to get a taste of our new lacrosse programs before you send them back to the cook. Public Safety. Getting rid of surplus DPS is probably the worst idea out there. Just because some of us are good at staying safe doesn’t mean DPS officers wasting gas on patrol are not convenient most of the time. I mean, who else would be friendly enough to inform us that the real police are on their way when a good block party gets boisterously out of hand? So, yeah, that’s all I’ve got. Papa Pilarz better get started on those good changes because at this rate next spring will start in October. ian.yakob@marquette.edu

Local band gets at the heart of music By Vanessa Harris vanessa.harris@marquette.edu
What makes music meaningful isn’t how many downloads it gets on iTunes, or how many snarky reviews claim it’s the next big thing. When it comes down to it, not all musicians are looking for a big break. Many independent artists are just trying to find a place to park their tour vans. Vincent Gaa, a senior in the College of Education, can relate to that. Just off a spring break tour with his band, Cousins, the self-taught drummer and guitarist knows the struggles of a do-ityourself artist. What’s crazier is that he and other musicians around the country enjoy the work. There is a thrill and a sense of pride that comes from performing something created from scratch. For Gaa, the time put into perfecting a sound that is uniquely his triumphs over many superficial gains. “Music is an art,” Gaa said. “It’s something that should be personal. It’s almost like a child.” Growing up in a suburb of Chicago, Gaa jammed out with friends and began seeing local shows after covering artists like Jimi Hendrix sparked his interest in performing. After a while, the scene in his neighborhood grew tiresome, and Gaa found himself bored with what a lot of his peers in bands were doing, so he started road-tripping into the city to see other local talent at houses, art spaces and crummy bars. During his senior year of high school and as a freshman at Marquette University, Gaa was a part of a hardcore band, but eventually became exhausted playing aggressive music. A need for change sparked Cousins. Cousins – so named because Gaa and his cousin, Daniel Fedash, were the first members – encompasses Gaa’s belief that music should speak for itself, and its simplicity should highlight a

musician’s passion for their work. When his junior year rolled around, Gaa and Fedash wanted bandmates who would be able to complement the particular sound they sought to capture. Gaa’s roommate, John Butcher, a senior in the College of Engineering, and a close friend of Gaa’s from Illinois, Grant Gosizk, round out the current lineup. Cousins’ style, described by some online blogs as “shoegaze” (a subgenre of alternative rock, characterized by its guitar effects), blends moments of spontaneity with structure and rhythm. After Gaa and Fedash spent a year writing, producing and
recording with the band, Cousins released its EP, “Axthoxy.” The album cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the point. It’s a sound way off of most of the band members’ previous styles, but the work put into bringing it to life helped it become natural. “We wanted to try and capture emotions,” Gaa said. “We spent so much time altering the songs. You hear in your English classes to always revise your papers because they could be better, and that’s how I felt about the music.” Initially, Gaa felt like Milwaukee was lacking in opportunities for local bands and musicians. But once Cousins fell into its groove

Creating art installations an art form in itself

Storyteller and co-artist Adam Carr restaples photos onto a foreclosed home as part of “Here, Mothers Are.”
Sweat, dedication help bring beauty to MKE museums By Heather Ronaldson heather.ronaldson@marquette.edu
A foreclosed home on 24th Place and Locust Street calls about as much attention as the vinyl prints hanging on its boarded windows. The pictures, featuring interior spaces of local homes, blend into the exterior of
the public property. Their subtle presentation suits the environment. People passing by only seem to notice the house-shaped planters and family portraits at a second glance. But that’s not what Adam Carr sees. The storyteller and co-artist of the outdoor installation “Here, Mothers Are” sees photographs that need stapling and batteries that need replacing. He pulls up to the now-not-so-vacant lot with a staple gun in hand, ready to remedy any wear and tear caused by the elements. For him, it’s just another day at the office. Well, another

Celebrate Milwaukee Day every day
Sarah Elms For most people, last Saturday was just like any other. But to the wonderful people of Brew City, April 14 was cause for celebration. 4-14 corresponds with the Milwaukee area code 414, so what better date is there to celebrate Milwaukee Day? I’ll give you a hint: There isn’t one. Being the die-hard Milwaukeean that I am, I set out to enjoy a day full of all things Milwaukee. My roommates and
I planned an afternoon packed with places to go and things to do, and by the end of the day, we came to the conclusion that there aren’t enough hours in Milwaukee Day to cover it all. We began our adventure by heading north to Kopp’s Frozen Custard in Glendale to taste some of the best frozen custard around. Not only is its food and dessert delicious, but the restaurant has been a staple of this city since its opening in 1950. There’s something truly magical about being part of history while stuffing a gooey grilled cheese into your mouth at the same time. We took our pictures next to the restaurant’s iconic black and white cows and then hurried off to enjoy our frozen treats at Lake Park before they melted. I forgot how relaxing it is to get away from the noise and
commotion of downtown and take a stroll along the lakefront. Being so close to Lake Michigan is one of my favorite things about this city, even with the smell. Once we finished our custard, we moseyed over to Cans Bar & Canteen on East Kenilworth Place to grab a local brew to help us digest. I had never been to Cans before Saturday, a surprise since it is on the same block as my two favorite places of the East Side: Sil’s Mini Donuts and Beans & Barley. The atmosphere was extremely casual, with a small stage up front for music and arcade games in the back.

Controversial ‘Bully’ deserves extra credit Emotional film strikes a chord with kids, adults By Matt Mueller matthew.mueller@marquette.edu
In the pantheon of dumb decisions, the MPAA’s choice to slap Lee Hirsch’s “Bully” with an R rating deserves special recognition. The documentary, which exposes the psychological destruction bullying causes in order to eliminate it from everyday school life, gained a lot of free press when the rating was announced. Giving “Bully” an R rating shuts out the demographic who could gain the most from the film - kids. An organization designed to protect children blocks a film designed to help protect children, all over a few

That is, All of the stories told in
“Bully” are emotionally devastating. Anyone who has experienced bullying is guaranteed to find themselves wiping tears from their eyes. Even those who’ve managed to get through school unscathed are susceptible. It’s easy to say that the film works exclusively due to the emotionally-loaded subject matter. However, much of the credit must go to Hirsch, who gets intimate access into his subjects’ lives. Whether it’s a frustrating conversation between parents and school advisors or actual footage of Alex getting abused on the bus, Hirsch’s camera is there. There are a few moments where some directorial flourishes get in the way of the heartbreaking stories being told, the main culprit Hirsch’s overindulgence in refocusing the camera. It’s an overly-cinematic touch; the subjects’ stories are more than enough. However, when the movie is as
intelligent and moving as “Bully,” this is a minor qualm. One of the film’s greatest achievements is the fact that, despite its strong anti-bullying stance, it never vilifies anyone. None of the bullies are individually identified or put on camera for embarrassment. Even the school officials, the closest thing to a definable antagonist, are given an even hand; they often seem late to the issue, but never due to a lack of effort. If there’s anything the film is missing, it’s the perspective of an actual bully. Hirsch never gets into what really causes bullying, aside from a few passing remarks. Perhaps that would have opened up larger questions the film didn’t have time to fully address or, on the other hand, caused the film to succumb to the vilification it so artfully avoids. It’s best not to get hung up on what “Bully” lacks and instead see what it does have: the potential to change children’s lives.

Students find urban/nature balance

Trevor Gundlach, a Marquette sophomore, is one of many slackliners picking up the sport in the U.S. and Europe.
Outdoor activities re-emerge after winter hibernation By Liz McGovern elizabeth.mcgovern@marquette.edu
People think there’s a trade-off to living in the city versus living in the country: Either you get urban life or green space. Marquette doesn’t do much to change the perception; our occasional green spaces feel like anomalies carved out from steel and concrete. But despite Marquette’s location, students are finding ways to remain engaged with the outdoors. As the weather has gotten warmer, students have been spotted on- and off-campus
“
ADOPT THE PACE OF
NATURE;
HER SECRET IS
PATIENCE.
” RALPH WALDO EMERSON
slacklining. Slacklining is a balancing sport where the object is to walk across a flexible flat rope held taut between two anchor points, occasionally doing tricks. According to slackline-tools. com, slacklining was started in the 1960s when rock climbers started to practice walking across chain ropes in parking lots. In the 1980s, climbers started slacklining as a sport by anchoring the rope across spaces between mountains and over bodies of water. The sport has spread to many climbers across college campuses in the U.S. and Europe. Trevor Gundlach, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, was introduced to slacklining when he visited his older brother at Marquette. After coming to Marquette himself, he created his
own slackline rope out of rock climbing webbing. He has been setting his slackline up around campus and teaching others the sport ever since. Alex Kane, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration and co-president of Marquette’s Great Outdoors Club, became interested in slacklining after he saw a video on the Internet. After his friends set up a slackline over a pool, he started to practice the sport and learn slacklining tricks. His background in skateboarding and gymnastics has helped him create his own moves. Slacklining is only one of the few sports and outdoor activities the Great Outdoors Club participates in. Frank Will Bufe, a junior in the College of Education, is the other co-president
of the Great Outdoors Club. He frequently gets off-campus to bike, kayak, cross-country ski, play Frisbee golf, hike and explore different parks in Milwaukee. “A lot of times you look down Wisconsin Avenue, and you think you think this place is purely urban development. It looks like a cold, mean place…” Bufe said. “But once you get out of the Marquette bubble, you find things. It’s impossible not to.” Bufe frequently spends time at the Urban Ecology Center, a nonprofit outdoor organization and community space. The center provides numerous outdoor programs and facilities for the public, including an outdoor tepee and a rock climbing wall. Rental equipment, ranging from bikes to kayaks, is available to rent with a student membership to the Urban Ecology Center for $12 a year. Lack of experience with outdoor sports is not a problem at the center. Chad Thomack, the urban adventures coordinator at the Urban Ecology Center, says that most outdoor programs are geared toward beginners. “No matter what your skill level is, anyone can join,” Thomack said. The Urban Ecology Center is located near Riverside Park, a series of trails along the Milwaukee River, and is ideal for kayaking. Riverside Park eventually converges with Estabrook Park, which has a Frisbee golf course perfect for the quintessentially collegiate sport. In addition to its great trails and a Frisbee course, the Estabrook Park will also open beer gardens along the trails this summer. The outdoor pubs were prevalent in Milwaukee during the 18th century, but were stopped during Prohibition. So don’t waste away in front of Netflix this spring. Get active instead, and take sports outside the dull, gray walls of the Rec Plex.

Two tough opponents await MU in MKE Iowa, Milwaukee won a combined 32 games last season
By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu
The Marquette Golden Eagles finally return to the comfort of Valley Fields for their lone home match of the spring season against Iowa on Saturday morning before traveling across town to take on rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The Hawkeyes finished last season 13-4-3 overall and saw their season end abruptly in the Big 10 Tournament, losing in penalty kicks to Michigan State. Iowa started the season 9-0-2 and allowed just 17 goals in 20 matches. “Iowa is a team that prides itself on defense and tries to slow the game down a bit,” coach Markus Roeders said. “They’re a very good team, and even though they lost a few more players than we did, we’re expecting a battle.” Like Marquette with Natalie Kulla, Iowa has to replace its starting goalkeeper from last season, senior Emily Moran. Moran started every match since her sophomore season and left as the program’s all-time leader in wins (35) and individual season victories (13). She ranks second in program history in career saves (350), numbers similar to Kulla’s. The Hawkeyes will likely look to freshmen Caitlin Schnorbach and Kiley Beck on Saturday to continue their development in net.
The match against Iowa will be Marquette’s first since a 2-0 win over Northwestern on March 31, but sophomore midfielder Cara Jacobson isn’t worried about any rustiness and is excited to get back on the pitch. “They’re (Iowa) definitely a talented team, so it should be a really competitive game,” Jacobson. “It’s nice to get to play a team we don’t see very often.” Wisconsin-Milwaukee enjoyed one of its best seasons in team history last year, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a win over Illinois State before falling to Ohio State. The Panthers won a school-record 19 games and rose to as high as No. 9 in the Soccer America National Poll. Senior forward Sarah Hagen was named a finalist for the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy and was named to Soccer America’s MVP First Team and the NSCAA’s AllAmerican Second Team. Hagen signed a contract with Bayern Munich in December and was drafted by the Philadelphia Independence of the Women’s Professional Soccer league in January. Hagen led the nation in goals per game (1.24), points per game (2.90) and game-winning goals last season. Her 93 career goals ranked her No. 9 all-time and 212 total points are good for No. 17 all-time. “Sarah (Hagen) may have meant more to Milwaukee than what Natalie (Kulla) and Kerry (McBride) meant to Marquette,” Roeders said. “I think the game over there was so much geared towards her, whereas our seniors were able to shine based on what we do as a team.”

Roeders said the Panthers will be an unknown factor even though Marquette plays them every year and practices against them in the spring. Part of that may be due to a new coach roaming the sidelines at Milwaukee. Michael Moynihan left the Panthers for Northwestern in December and is

being replaced by Greg Henschel, the former coach at Wisconsin-Whitewater. Henschel ran both the men’s and women’s programs at Whitewater since 1999 and led both teams to the NCAA Tournament last season. Junior defender Megan Jaskowiak isn’t worried about
what’s going on with the Panthers’ coaching staff and is just happy to be playing a city rival. “I’m sure the coach (Henschel) is well aware of what this match means, and they’re going to come out ready to play,” Jaskowiak said. “We just need to come out harder.”

Cadougan next in line as leader Holographic revival Wilson, Thomas also expected to step up next year By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu
After the Marquette men’s basketball team arrived home following its Sweet 16 loss to Florida in Phoenix, it took a few days to rest. But less than a week later, the Golden Eagles were back in the gym and weight room to get a head start on next year. Notably missing in those workouts have been seniors Jae Crowder and Darius JohnsonOdom. The two seniors accounted for almost 47 percent of Marquette’s scoring, over 68 percent of its three-point makes and, most importantly, were the two most vocal leaders on and off the court last year. Junior guard Junior Cadougan is now next in line on a long list of past senior leaders for the Golden Eagles. Cadougan took on a full-time starting role for the first time last year and responded with the 10th-highest single-season assist total in Marquette history (5.3 assists per game). The Golden Eagles were a perfect

Matt Trebby As I was strolling around the Internet this week, I saw Tupac Shakur performing in front of a packed crowd. While I immediately recognized it wasn’t actually Tupac, I was still extremely intrigued. It was a hologram, and apparently it isn’t the last one, as the Notorious B.I.G. is next on the list. If Tupac can be “brought ” back to life, imagine the possibilities. This year’s commencement speaker at graduation is Hank Aaron, possibly the best baseball player of all-time. Aaron is an excellent choice, especially for those who are from Milwaukee (or possibly from Atlanta) and are big Brewers (or Braves) fans. As a junior, I have no doubt that Marquette will surely get another amazing speaker for next year’s graduation, but with this new hologram technology, I thought I’d
throw a few names into the hat. So, here are my top five choices for holograms I would love to hear give the commencement speech at my graduation. 5. Reggie White: A recommendation by fellow Tribune writer Mark Strotman, Reggie White would be inspirational. Truly a man of faith, White was a Christian minister and also one of the best pass-rushers in the history of football. He spoke in front of the Wisconsin State Assembly and was one of the most well-rounded men ever to play in the NFL. His speech could be controversial, but it would be one I would love to hear. 4. Howard Cosell: This one is not just for me as a broadcaster as Cosell’s life was filled with many life-altering events. He started out practicing law in Manhattan before becoming one of the most recognizable voices in the history of sport. Cosell was on the call for many of the most famous events in sports history. Whether it was “Down goes Frazier!” during George Foreman and Joe Frazier’s classic bout in 1973, or his difficult announcement of John Lennon’s death during Monday See Revival, page 20

Leader: Seniors leave void
Senior play a huge factor for men and women By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s and men’s tennis teams head down to Tampa, Fla., this week to battle for the Big East championships. The men’s squad secured the sixth seed in their bracket and will take on St. John’s Friday, while the women’s team will also challenge the Red Storm as the seventh seed in their tournament today. Men’s coach Steve Rodecap feels his team (10-12) is playing its best tennis right now, coming off a 4-3 win over conference rival DePaul last Saturday. “St. John’s is a good team, but we’ve done a lot to prepare for this moment, and we look forward to seeing how far of a run we can make,” Rodecap said. “DePaul is always an emotional match and a big rivalry, and I feel like our guys handled the emotion well. It really works as a springboard for us into the championships this weekend.” While squaring off against a team the Golden Eagles didn’t face this year is challenging enough, Rodecap mentioned the obstacles the locale itself presents. “Tampa is going to offer a lot of challenges for us as well,” Rodecap said. “We’re going to be playing in close to 90 degree heat, and we haven’t done that all year. But the good thing is we’re playing a team in the first round from New York, and they probably haven’t been playing in it a lot either. Down there it will become a lot more of a physical battle, but I feel like we’ve put in the work off the court to go down there and have a good chance of making a deep run.” Rodecap said the Golden Eagles’ seniors will need to have a big impact like they did against DePaul. Both seniors, Jonathan Schwerin and Drake Kakar, came up big in that win for Marquette with a pair of crucial victories in the singles round in the fourth and sixth positions.

Senior Gillian Hush believes the team has grown since the beginning of the season and is ready for the challenges at the Big East Championships.
Rodecap believes their composure in the tough environment presented by the championships will be huge for the team’s success. Women’s coach Jody Bronson believes that her team has just as good a shot as any of the other teams in the conference at taking home the title. She said her team has grown tremendously since the start of the season and that the biggest challenge will be getting all of the team’s individual talent to show up in unison. “We’ve had days where we haven’t had enough players playing as well as they can play,” Bronson said. “It’s all about getting everyone to show up and give their all in one concentrated effort.” Like the men’s team, Bronson knows her seniors will dictate the team’s success or failure through example at the top spots of the rotation. That being said, Bronson said she wouldn’t be surprised at all to see freshmen Ana Pimienta, Ali Dawson and Vanessa Foltinger
have big impacts. “Our seniors are very solid,” Bronson said. “They’ve proven that this year, and they’ve been here three times before, but all three of our freshmen have seen how they’ve competed all year, and they know what they need to do. I know that all three are capable of breaking out.” Sophomore Rocio Diaz said that the team’s underclassmen will be looking to play their best tennis of the year for their seniors, a statement that spoke volumes to senior Gillian Hush about how the team has grown over the course of the season. Hush believes that Marquette will be mentally strong enough to compete with any team, and it will look to start each match aggressively rather than try to constantly dig itself out of holes. “One thing we struggle with is coming from behind, so we’ve been focusing on getting ahead first,” Hush said. “We’re also trying not to rush the point.”

loss of two All-Americans, one of whom the reigning Big East Player of the Year. But Wilson said the team understands the process and that new players will step into larger roles to help combat the losses of Johnson-Odom and Crowder. Cadougan said Marquette’s “new” team still has a long way
to go, but he is excited about the team’s attitude to improve early and often in the off-season. “After two or three days, guys started getting back into the gym right away and starting workouts,” Cadougan said. “I guess because we all missed it so much.”

Women’s Volleyball
Successful season capped by division title Big win garners no trophies, but a lot of momentum By Michael Wottreng michael.wottreng@marquette.edu
The women’s volleyball team’s spring season came to a conclusion Saturday with a first-place finish in the silver division of the 2012 Great Lakes Center Collegiate Challenge in Aurora, Ill. Last season, coach Bond Shymansky’s team was one set away from playing for the Big East Tournament Championship, but lost to Cincinnati. The spring season was a welcome return for a young group. “It was great experience for us, especially the young girls who don’t have the match experience,” junior middle hitter Carol Henney said. “I think as a team we grew through competition.” The match that taught Shymansky’s team so much was their lone loss and second match of the day. Marquette dropped a marathon of a match to Michigan State 25-19, 36-34. The second set had every person in the gym crowding around the court to catch a glimpse of the intense, back-and-forth game. A young team could have easily crumbled under the pressure, but Marquette’s perseverance taught the coaching staff and the veteran players that the inexperienced group may be
ready to turn the corner. “The spring is more individual geared training,” said assistant coach Michaela Franklin. “Our freshmen improved not only on the court but gained confidence through repetition.” Freshman right side Lindsey Gosh is expected to play a big role in replacing graduating seniors Ashley Beyer and Ciara Jones on the outside. Gosh spent a lot of time on the court in the spring and performed extremely well in Illinois, tallying 31 kills and only 10 hitting errors. Gosh’s play is a sigh of relief for a team trying to revamp its front line approach. Blocking was the topic most discussed throughout the spring season. Shymansky said he wanted to see improvement with blocking heading into next year, a decision that will benefit the defensive specialists the most. “I feel like it is helping Julie (Jeziorowski), Cat (Mayer) and I line up better with the hitters,” sophomore defensive specialist Rachel Stier said. “We are getting better touches because of the blocking.” The Collegiate Challenge showed the coaching staff a great deal of improvement. Franklin said the team was blocking and digging better on Saturday. Marquette dropped its lone set of the day in pool play against Iowa (25-18, 23-25, 157). The Golden Eagles then defeated Notre Dame (25-20, 2521) and Bradley (25-19, 25-16)

en route to the silver division championship and a 5-4 record in the spring season. “There’s nothing really required of us,” Henney said. “It’s our time to relax a little bit
and then hit it hard in the fall and go for that championship.” The Golden Eagles may not have received trophies for their wins in Illinois, but it leaves the team with momentum head-
ing into the 2012 season. For a team that suffered several heartbreaking losses in 2011, their performance this spring went a long way in helping the team move on.

Revival: McGuire the best
Night Football in 1980, Cosell both saw and did it all in the field I wish to one day pursue. 3. George Steinbrenner: “The Boss” was one of the most interesting characters the world has ever seen. He went from being a graduate assistant under Woody Hayes at Ohio State to being the most famous and well-known owner in the history of baseball. After making his money in the shipping industry, Steinbrenner bought the Yankees and made them into the one of the most successful sports franchise in the world. Steinbrenner would definitely make his speech one to remember. 2. Dick Schaap: There are few people that have experienced what this man did. Schaap became a columnist for the weekly local newspaper in his hometown of Freeport, N.Y. at the age of 14,
and he went on to write books with football legends like Jerry Kramer and Joe Namath and cover some of the most famous athletes and events in sports history. I’ll always have a soft spot for Schaap, as I remember watching him on ESPN a few days after September 11, 2001. He talked about the role of sport in times of tragedy and was a figure of calmness at a time when the 10-year-old me was still trying to understand what actually took place. Schaap’s incredible experiences would make for an amazing speech. 1. Al McGuire: Who did you think it would be? I don’t even feel like I need to explain myself. It should be Al McGuire because it should be Al McGuire.
I have used this space in the Tribune to mock the wackiest sports stories the past 25 or so weeks, using it as a means to a quick giggle and nothing more. But the world of sports is not always silly and fun. Sometimes it can be exemplary and kindhearted in the midst of cruel and unforgiving circumstances. Italian soccer player Piermario Morosini died Saturday afternoon after collapsing on the field during the middle of a game. A story like this needs no introduction or embellishment. It is beyond sad that a 25-year-old in peak physical condition died in the middle of a silly game. What is even sadder is what he leaves behind. Morosini was the sole caretaker of his severely handicapped sister. His mother passed away when he
was just 15 and his father died two years later, leaving him orphaned and in charge of his disabled brother and sister. A short time after that his brother also passed away after committing suicide. It is not all sadness though. Italian soccer star Antonio Di Natale has promised to take care of Morosini’s sister and all of her financial needs through his club Udinese. “It is essential that we stay at the side of Piermario (Morosini’s) sister for her entire life,” Di Natale said. “She needs us, and we want to help, both for her and for Mario.” You will not find a better sports story this year. The world needs more people like Antonio Di Natale.

The Marquette women’s club basketball team trailed by 12 points in the first half, but rallied for a 35-33 victory.
By Chris Chavez christopher.chavvez@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s club basketball team is very appreciative of second-chance opportunities — it was a second chance at making the National Basketball Championship that led to their successful title run. A mix of “blue” and “gold” squad members mixed and matched throughout the season. The combined squad made a statement early on with their win at the Wisconsin State Championship, where they beat teams like Wisconsin-Whitewater and Wisconsin-Madison. At the double-elimination regional tournament, Marquette collected wins against California and Ohio before being eliminated by Ohio State. Senior Katie O’Connor said she believes the team took a lot away from the loss, as they still had one more chance to make the National Championship. “The team definitely worked harder from there knowing that we only had one more
shot to qualify for nationals,” O’Connor said. There isn’t much video or statistics to prepare for a club sports game, but president Katie Lee and some of her teammates did their best research to brace themselves for their next opponent. “In our own time, we scouted some of their pool games,” Lee said. “It was between Delaware and Virginia Tech as to who we were going to play next. I was nervous.” Those nerves were on display in the semifinal against East Carolina. They narrowly escaped with a 45-43 victory on a layup with four seconds left. Marquette was trailing by one and with four seconds left in the game, sophomore Kelsey Rajchel was fouled and sent to the line. She made her first free throw but missed the second. Junior Courtney Martin got the rebound before posting it up for the lay-up. Her heroics sent the Golden Eagles to the championship game against Delaware. Delaware led by 12 points at one point in the half, but Marquette would cut it down to six at the intermission, where Lee said a few adjustments were made at half-time. “We just needed to calm down, shoot the ball, and con-
tinue playing our defense,” Lee said. “When our defense was good, our shots started to sink.” With 14 players on the team, Delaware had the depth to keep their players fresh in the second half, but Marquette clawed their way back to take the lead. Junior Chantal Newman sank a pair of three-pointers in part of Marquette’s 8-0 run that put them up 28-26. Marquette notched its biggest lead at five points after Newman drained two free throws in the final minute. Delaware chucked up a three-pointer at the buzzer, but it was too little, too late, as the Golden Eagles held on for the 35-33 victory to clinch the national championship. The team will only be losing three senior players when it attempts to defend its title next year. Coach Matt D’Amato sees a likely boost in popularity of the club sport on campus with more girls trying out, and at the same time, more invitations to tournaments across the country. “We’re always looking for new players to come. It’s a great experience outside of being successful and winning games,” D’Amato said. “We’ll hopefully get more invites. We realize that by winning the national championship that other teams will be looking to beat us.”
