Shakespeare hits the stage Senate tackles Local playwright copyright policy coming to Weasler Auditorium Faculty body worried vagueness By Monique Collins may lead to abuse monique.collins@marquette.edu

Friends and alumni of the Marquette English department and the Office of Student Development will present “In Acting Shakespeare,” a comical theatrical production featuring actor and playwright James DeVita, on Wednesday, April 25 at 4 p.m. in the Weasler Auditorium. DeVita’s play is an adaptation of Sir Ian McKellen’s script, “Acting Shakespeare,” and blends together the story of Shakespeare’s life and DeVita’s story about how Shakespeare’s work led him to his acting career. The performance will take place two days after the 396th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. “This is a Shakespeare (play) for those who think they won’t like Shakespeare,” DeVita said. DeVita has acted in the American Players Theatre for more than 25 years, playing roles in classics like “Othello”, “Macbeth” and “Hamlet.” The American Players Theatre is located in Spring Green, Wisc. Off-stage, DeVita is an awardwinning author and playwright, currently working as the resident playwright for First Stage

James DeVita blends a little of his own life and Shakespeare’s in the play.

Marquette University Academic Senate discussed a redrafting of the 1999 Intellectual Property Policy at its April 16 meeting, bringing up numerous concerns dealing with the document’s language. There are two primary areas that are considered intellectual property: invented material, which would include applying for a patent, and written or creatively produced material, which requires a copyright. “The university’s IP (Intellectual Property) Policy says that when faculty creates something patentable then the possible patent rights to that will belong to the university,” said Bruce Boyden, assistant professor of law at Marquette. “But for copyrights, the presumption’s the opposite, if faculty created something copyrightable — write a journal article or something — that they will retain the copyrights

to whatever they’ve created. So the question is: how exactly does that apply to students?” In terms of student work, any form of produced work that is minimally creative can be considered copyrightable including some software programs, photos, videos, music, art and written work. With inventions, requirements are much more rigorous. They have to be something novel, useful and not obvious, according to Boyden. “As students become more and more involved in projects that may lead to the creation of inventions, it is important that the rights of students, faculty, and the university be laid out in an understandable way,” said Doug Smith, associate general counsel for Marquette and writer of the policy. The policy also includes works created for the purpose of electronic courses. These are defined by the policy document as “an academic course of study, delivered in whole or in part via electronic means, and fixed in any medium capable of display on a computer or electronic media screening device.” This area brought up concerns on the matter of how D2L may

Department of Workforce Development released data last Thursday showing that the state lost 4,300 private sector jobs in March. “Not only do you have a direct job loss, but you have to think about all those people who had had jobs and were spending money and now they have way less to spend,” Maranto said. Despite the recent job losses, the state’s unemployment rate still dropped from 6.9 to 6.8 percent in March. This is the lowest it has been since 2008, and it is down from 7.6 percent a year ago. It is also well below the national average of 8.2 percent. “Wisconsin’s economy is turning around, but there is still a lot of work to do,” said Cullen Werwie, press secretary for the governor’s office, in an emailed statement. “The state has added over 15,000 private sector jobs since the start of the year.”

Marquette economics chair Abdur Chowdhury said the state’s economic statistics show mixed results. “The manufacturing sector saw an increase of 2,000 jobs,” Chowdhury said. “Among the neighboring states, manufacturing is playing the most positive role in Wisconsin. (However), the loss of jobs in construction last month does not bode well for the housing industry in Wisconsin.” Chowdhury said he is not sure if the state will be able to meet Walker’s goal of adding 250,000 private sector jobs by 2015. “Given the current trend in the Wisconsin labor market, it would be extremely difficult to achieve that goal,” Chowdhury said. Wisconsin has added 15,600 jobs this year, despite the March drop-off. Since Walker took office, private sector employment has increased by 5,900.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction released data last Tuesday revealing that Wisconsin lost 2,300 full-time school staff jobs last year, losses some are attributing to state budget cuts to education. According to Cheryl Maranto, a Marquette associate professor of management, the need to trim budgets in school districts ultimately led to cutting staff members. “Labor costs are about 85 percent of any school budget,” Maranto said. “What else are you going to cut if it’s 85 percent (of the budget)?” According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Wisconsin is one of 37 states (of 46 states studied) to cut education funding for the 2011-12 school year, with the second largest cuts behind New Mexico. Jim McGibany, Marquette associate professor of economics added that many school districts rushed to sign new contracts in anticipation of Walker’s controversial budget, and were therefore unable to stay under their own budgets. “Many reports show upwards of 40 to 45 percent of decreased school positions come from those districts that, because of the signed contracts, could not save money and were forced to have layoffs to stay in-budget,” McGibany said. Maranto said the cuts to the public sector have also had an impact on job losses in the private sector. The Wisconsin

DPS officer Daniel Hernandez, 27, was on patrol Friday when a woman flagged him down and directed him to the intersection of North 20th Street and West Highland Avenue, where a school bus and Chevrolet Suburban had collided. By the time Hernandez arrived on the scene, both of the vehicles were smoldering, with flames already visible in the Suburban. Hernandez blocked traffic with his patrol car and called the Milwaukee Fire Department and the DPS dispatcher before heading to the bus, where he heard cries for help coming from a woman and an approximately 6-year-old boy trapped inside.

Hernandez was able to remove the bus’s crushed door and remove the boy, who was carried away by a male Marquette employee who had observed the crash and followed Hernandez to the scene of the accident. After securing the boy, Hernandez returned to the bus and rescued the female bus driver, who stated she was unable to move. After the two were rescued, the other DPS officers who had responded to Hernandez’s call controlled the smoldering using fire extinguishers, and were able to completely douse any flames before the arrival of the fire department. Hernandez and the unnamed employee were unavailable for comment Monday. Hernandez is a two-and-a-half year veteran of DPS who served in the Marines before coming to Marquette. DPS Cpt. Russ Shaw said the actions of the DPS officers, especially Hernandez, were outstanding and reflected well on DPS’s role in the neighborhood. Shaw also said he could not release the name of the Marquette employee without the employee’s permission. “Being that it was out of our patrol area, being that you had two vehicles that possibly could have burst into flames at any moment, getting two people off the bus the way they did, I think it was a great job,” Shaw said. “All our officers did a really great job on this and we are certainly very proud of them.”

At 2:08 a.m. a student reported being battered by an unidentified suspect in the 1600 block of W. Wells St. MPD was contacted, and medical assistance was declined. At 11:12 a.m. a student reported being sexually assaulted by a known person in the 2000 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. sometime during November 2011. MPD was contacted.

At 6:13 p.m. a student reported that unknown person(s) were posting anonymous slanderous comments about the Marquette community on Twitter. Saturday, April 21 At 6:13 a.m. an employee reported that unknown person(s) removed unattended university property estimated at $80 from Cudahy Hall. At 11:32 p.m. a student reported being involved in a physical altercation with an unidentified subject in the 1300 block of W. Wells St. MPD was contacted and the student transported by ambulance to Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital. Sunday, April 22 At 12:07 a.m. a person not affiliated with Marquette acted in a disorderly manner in the 2100 block of W. Michigan St. and was taken into custody by MPD. At 2:28 a.m. unknown person(s) vandalized university property in Schroeder Hall causing an estimated $50 in damage. Facilities Services was contacted. Between 7:45 p.m. and 10:32 p.m. a student reported that unknown person(s) smashed a window of her secured, unattended vehicle in the 900 block of N. 19th St. causing an estimated $100 in damage. Nothing was taken. MPD will be contacted.

MUSG concerts cut from budget Events committee gone; funding for student orgs added By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

At Thursday’s Marquette Student Government meeting, senators approved next year’s budget, which included the elimination of the Major Events Commission, responsible for the spring and fall concerts. The senate also discussed the current search for a Gender Resource Center director and elected a new president pro tempore. Financial Vice President Brittany Riesenbeck, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, went over the fiscal year 2013 budget with the senate, specifically pointing out the cutting of the Major Events Commission. Riesenbeck said the commission was being eliminated due to Milwaukee’s growing entertainment offerings and the inability for all Marquette students to attend. Riesenbeck said a new coffeehouse series with live music will be sponsored by MUSG in 2013. More money will also go to MUSG outreach to student organizations. “The money will go a long way to making MUSG seen on campus,” said Sam Schultz, a sophomore and senator in the College of Arts & Sciences. The budget was approved in a 26-0 vote. President Arica VanBoxtel, a junior in the College of Communication, urged senators and students to get involved in the search for a director for the Gender Resource Center. Interviews for the candidates are happening throughout the week, and students are welcome to attend. Candidates include Susannah Bartlow, a faculty member in Dickinson College’s Department of Women and Gender Studies and the founding director of the school’s Women’s Resource Center; Anthony Papini, director of educational leadership for the Pride Foundation in Seattle; and Brian Patchcoski, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Transgender and Ally Resource Center at

Riesenbeck also reminded student organizations who were funded to retrieve their reimbursement checks in the MUSG office prior to the end of the semester. MUSG Advisor Kate Trevey announced that CollegiateLink, the online organization involvement website, is now running. Student organizations must register their organization by May 11 to be able to register for O-Fest. Trevey said that the president of an organization for the upcoming year should be the primary point of contact. Later in the meeting, Justin Alexander was elected president pro tempore with a 25-0-1 vote. As president pro tempore, Alexander will facilitate communication between MUSG committees. Stephanie Marecki, a junior and senator in the College of Business Administration, nominated Alexander for the position after working with him on the Student Life Committee. “I was impressed; he wrote multiple pieces of legislation,” Marecki said. “He is prompt, organized … and will be an asset to each of the committees,” Marecki said.

Students aim to Select schools take on sex “Break the silence” Event against LGBT discrimination brought to campus By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Last Friday Marquette students took part in multiple acts of solidarity with the LGBT community across campus, including participation in the national “Day of Silence,” where students opt to be silent for a majority of the day to raise awareness for those silenced by anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. In addition to being silent, students also wore handmade shirts with slogans, “No H8,” “Legalize Love” and “Str8 against H8.” At 3:45 p.m., members of Marquette’s Gender Sexuality Alliance gathered around the Joan of Arc Chapel to break their silence, take photos and talk about their

experiences that day. After, they marched around campus together and entered the Brew Bayou in the Alumni Memorial Union to gather with other students who participated. The GSA, in partnership with Multicultural Affairs, sponsored that event, “Breaking the Silence,” at 4 p.m. in the Brew where, students shared stories about coming out, opposition they have faced and their hopes for equality in the future. The Day of Silence was founded in 1996 and is the largest single student-led action that works for safer schools, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The first ever Day of Silence occurred at the University of Virginia and has since become a national movement in middle schools, high schools and colleges. At press time Monday, several students who participated in the event were either unreachable or did not wish to comment.

While there is no Sex Week at Marquette, Student Health Service offers STD tests at a lower price for the month of April, and pregnancy tests.

MU not among colleges with a week for sexual health By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

It’s a college trope to hold awareness weeks on an almostweekly basis, and their constant presence makes it hard for individual weeks to stand out. Unless the week in question is called the unmistakably blunt “Sex Week,” a student-run week of lectures, panel discussions and contraceptive allocations. While it’s nowhere near mainstream, a handful of universities around the country have begun promoting their own version of Sex Week, including Brown, the University of Kentucky, Washington University and Harvard, which held its Sex Week last week. The term was first coined at Yale University as a Kosher Sex Week started by the Yale Hillel, according to The New York Times. The idea was shortly

after expanded to a campus-wide event, in 2002. But the week itself entails more than prevention and safe intercourse. It also discusses how students may become more comfortable and fulfilled sexually, and provides education for students who may not otherwise have an outlet to ask questions about sex or sexuality. One former resident assistant, who wished to remain anonymous because she is still employed elsewhere in Residence Life, said a Sex Week at Marquette might offer more insight into a student’s sexuality than what she has been able to offer her residents in the past. “Sex Week would be a great program for students to become aware of love, intimacy, and sexuality,” she said. “I think it’s important for students to be well informed and to have the opportunity to increase self-awareness.” The former RA added that the resources Marquette offers students regarding the issue seem limited as RAs are not equipped to deal with sexually-based concerns.

“Public institutions sometimes provide resident assistants with contraceptives for them to place outside their doors for students to take,” she said. “That’s definitely a proactive move and can help encourage students to act responsibly and prevent STDs and pregnancy.” A main part of Sex Week involves the free donation of contraceptives which are often distributed in public places, according to the account at Harvard’s program. While Marquette does not offer contraceptives to students, a recent addition of STD testing for $25 is available for walk-in sessions at the Student Health Service. Besides medical attention, Marquette’s assistant professor of Anthropology Sameena Mulla thinks open university talks concerning sexuality are most important. “Sociological and educational research shows that talking about sex does not encourage people to have it and excluding sex from conversations and curricula does not discourage people from having it,” Mulla said. “I feel comfortable including relevant material on young adult sexual culture in my curriculum.” In agreement, assistant professor of sociology Dawne Moon said that at a Jesuit institution, students should reserve the right to freely discuss any issues regarding sexuality in making “adult decisions.” However, Moon added that she does not think Marquette provides students with comprehensive education about sexuality and sexual health. “Marquette is a Catholic school, committed to the Roman Catholic Church’s teachings that sex should take place only in marriage,” Moon said. Moon stressed that unmarried students (Catholic and others) have sex at about the same rate as students at other institutions. While acknowledging the benefits of a possible Marquette Sex Week could help with the aforementioned issues, Moon is unsure if such a program would ever come to campus. “If it were to happen here, it would be because the students made it happen,” Moon said. “They would probably run into resistance from some administrators, but that happens at nonCatholic schools as well.” However, Halley Shaw, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, cannot see why Marquette would decline such a program. “I could see Marquette welcoming (Sex Week) because although we have Jesuit ideals, I feel the university is very open to students’ perspectives and seeing both sides,” Shaw said. Nevertheless, the former RA thinks Marquette would decline the addition of the program on campus based on the name alone. Moon said the campus should expand its parameters to include discussions on sex and sexuality. “That is what a Jesuit education is supposed to be about,” Moon said. “Imposing silence on discussions of sex can just keep people from thinking clearly and compassionately, which can cause needless harm to themselves or others.”

Shakespeare: MKE theater scene thrives Cabinet: Lamb’s love for MU apparent, say students Children’s Theater in Milwaukee. After the play and reception, audience members can attend the Marquette Department of Performing Arts’ production of “The Comedy of Errors” at 7:30 p.m. The Tribune sat down with the noted playwright for a Q&A session: Q: How has Shakespeare’s work impacted your career in theater? A: Well, six months out of the year, I work with the American Theater. So, for over 18 years, I’ve done a lot of classical work like Shakespeare. I’ve worked for many years trying to work on a technique that makes his language accessible and understandable. I was a fisherman from New York. I never thought I’d be doing Shakespeare. Q: Describe your experience working with the First Stage Children’s Theater. A: I love working with First Stage. They gave me my first shot at writing for the stage. First Stage really supports young artists. I love not only what they stand for, but how they support

young actors and writers.

Q: What makes working with children so special for you?

A: Working with the children is so much fun. When casting now, I see young actors and they say, ‘They’re from the Academy.’ We’re connected through our work at First Stage. Q: Why did you decide to stay in Milwaukee and build your career in theater here, instead of moving to a city like New York City or Los Angeles? A: I’m from New York, and I always thought I’d go back. After graduating from UWM, I started working in Milwaukee, and found that there’s a thriving theater industry here. I had to choose between whether I wanted to move somewhere and look for a job, or if I wanted to work right away. I had too many offers here to pass them up. Q: You have played roles in several Shakespearean plays. What is it about Shakespeare that attracts you so much? A: I’ve always been attracted

to making poetry accessible to a broad audience. When I was younger, I felt stupid when reading Shakespeare, that only those who studied him could understand. I know now that’s not the case.

Q: What would you say is the biggest difference between acting and writing for the stage? A: There are more similarities than differences. Writing and acting fiction, in particular, is very similar; you’re always looking for authenticity. With acting, I think the difference is that, when you’re on stage, it is what it is, and with writing, you can revise mistakes. Q: What do you enjoy more, acting or writing? A: I don’t think either one is better than the other. They lend to each other very well. I would like more time to write because I enjoy it so much. When I was younger, I really wanted to be a journalist, but things just don’t work out that way all the time; I have bills to pay, and writing doesn’t always pay those bills.

Intellectual: D2L a particular concern be seen as a medium for intellectual property and if it constitutes an electronic course. “Everybody can use D2L for their courses, but this (electronic courses) is where the university invests resources and helps faculty develop online courses and this is the piece that’s a little bit newer in the policy,” said Jeanne Hossenlopp, vice provost for research. There have been some questions on the wording of this section in the policy, though. “I have an issue with the breadth of the definition of electronic course,” Boyden said. “D2L strikes me as electronic means; so does PowerPoint and the various tools in the classroom, so I think looking literally at the definition winds up potentially swallowing a lot of material. I think that the concern is … that the university would own anything that qualifies as an electronic course, which could be a course where materials are put up on D2L.” Given this interpretation, student work on a site like D2L

could be considered university property. Boyden said there are two main reasons why the IP Policy is necessary. One is to advise as to who owns what intellectual properties and what the rights are and the other is to resolve disputes of ownership rights. To do this, he said, the policy could stand a redrafting. “I think one intent is to refer to only students who are working essentially as research assistants,” he said. “But again, I think there’s parts where it’s unclear. It could potentially be interpreted to reach well beyond to just any student work created under any faculty direction, including in a class.” Hossenlopp said that under the current policy, the majority of student work does not fall under the policy’s terms. “If a student in an engineering senior design class, for example, comes up with their own project and invents stuff, they don’t fall under this policy,” she said. “This policy was written for university employees.” But students are impacted

when it comes to compensation for their work. “If a student is paid to work in a research lab or is working on a project as part of a faculty members research then they are impacted by this policy,” she said. Smith said students are treated like faculty in terms of compensation and ownership of their work. “There is agreement with all faculty that undergraduate and graduate students should and must remain full owners of intellectual property rights created in their roles as students,” he said. “When students are compensated for services provided in connection with faculty-supervised research, the university then receives 50 percent of net royalties, just as a faculty member would.”

Grounds department service manager Jim Blonien and his crew of 15 full-time groundskeepers rigorously manicure Marquette’s campus, which is currently blooming with 3,500 tulips.

The crew also focuses on cleaning up individual plants around campus by pruning them to remove dead and overgrown leaves and branches. Crew members prune both in the fall and early spring and try to prune By Erica Breunlin between snowstorms. They aim erica.breunlin@marquette.edu to finish pruning when plant life is still dormant and before After 13 years as the head of flower buds start showing. trimming, mowing, plowing and Blonien said the planting, Jim Blonien knows groundskeepers are ahead of the grounds schedule with of Marquette both pruning like the back “That’s nice to see, that people and winter of his hand appreciate the work my guys put in cleanup this — a hand by displaying it on the Web page for year. that includes “We were the university.” a very green able to get a thumb. good jump on Jim Blonien it because of The service Service manager, Grounds Department manager of the warmer the grounds temperatures department is also what in March and the lack of snow,” you might call the campus Blonien said. beautician, largely responsible After cleanup, Blonien and for the grooming, pruning his crew begin mulching — and landscaping of all of which involves removing some Marquette’s nearly 100 acres. of the old chips and freshening But Blonien, with his crew them up with new mulch — of 15 full-time staff members, and reseeding to restore any pays special attention to each vegetation killed during the acre of greenery. And for him, snow season, such as brown the cultivating comes naturally. grass and the grass along “We’ve done it so often, we sidewalk edges. know what to do, ” Blonien said. In addition to reseeding and mulching now, campus landscapers have been in full mowing operation throughout the turf areas for the past couple weeks — another jump ahead of the typical schedule.

Landscaping makes beautiful mark on campus

A team of professionals

While the timing of landscaping falls differently each year depending on the weather, the process and practice of planting is always the same. Typically, winter cleanup begins in mid to late April, as soon as Blonien and his crew are almost certain the snowfalls are behind them for the season. Cleanup includes repairing damage to turf from snow, plows and salt, as well as raking areas that weren’t finished the previous fall before winter set in.

Tiptoe through those tulips And then there is the task of planting those famous tulips dotting campus — all 3,500 of them. The crew plants each tulip bulb in the fall and covers them until spring for protection from winter frost. But not all of the tulips always poke their way through the surface of the ground come spring, particularly after severe winters.

Blonien said the tulips have bloomed successfully during the last few years and that while they typically are done blooming two to three weeks before graduation, last year they bloomed right through. Once the tulips have peaked, the crew starts planting other annual flowers, beginning in the highly visible areas of campus like the St. Joan of Arc Chapel, the Alumni Memorial Union, the Al McGuire Center and along street boulevards. Landscapers often plant during the first or second week of May. It’s a delicate balancing game as they try to plant before graduation but hold off long enough until warm weather since annuals are highly susceptible to freezing. Throughout the summer, much of Blonien and his crew’s attention turns toward weeding, watering and mowing — a lot of mowing. “Grass keeps growing,” Blonien said. The full growing season starts between mid and late May when the flowers are in full bloom, plants and shrubs need to be maintained, and all plants need to be watered on a regular basis. “We’re right on the doorstep of this season now,” Blonien said. Maintenance hires between 10 and 15 students in the summer during the height of the fullgrowing season to help the crew stay on top of the day-to-day growing grind. In keeping campus green and watered, maintenance relies on an irrigation system with a network of underground pipes running between sprinklers. The system covers 80 percent of campus and is activated each spring once night temperatures surpass the 20s. Maintenance routinely checks the pipes to make sure they’re operating correctly and hooks them to clocks so they can control when the sprinklers come on and how long they run. Now Blonien just hopes that the tulips keep their blossoms

through graduation on May 20 so parents and students can take advantage of them in graduation photos and enjoy them before departing campus. “Everybody likes to see the tulips blooming because of the color they bring,” Blonien said. This includes visiting families.

Blonien said the grounds get a lot compliments from parents and students during university open houses and tour days. And since the grounds serve as the first impression of the university for newcomers, maintaining them is critical. “It’s the first thing everybody sees of the university,” he said.

It’s back to the backcourt for draft-bound Crowder

Column

Coaches are paid to win at all costs

Andrei Greska You play. To win. The game. That’s what former NFL coach Herm Edwards told us. Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. That’s what Vince Lombardi told us. Any good sports fan will read the above quotes, smile and nod in agreement. Winning is the ultimate goal whether you’re playing a 3-on-3 halfcourt basketball game at the Rec or starting at quarterback in the Super Bowl. Winning is life’s elixir. But something has been irking me lately. The NCAA purports itself to be the antithesis of the win-at-all-costs mentality as a non profit institution monitoring the betterment of college athletes not only on the field, but off of it as well. Athletes are students primarily. College sports are not about money. Graduation is the true end goal. Two events within the Wisconsin college landscape last week called into question — not for the first time — this assertion.

Jarrod Uthoff was a freshman basketball player at Wisconsin who, after redshirting this past season, decided to transfer to a team that didn’t cause people watching to stick pins in their eyes. As you may know, coach Bo Ryan did not take this decision very kindly and reduced the destinations Uthoff could land and receive a scholarship to 26 schools, causing a national media backlash. The logic of the jolted writers went that coaches and administrators could relocate to whichever college tickled their fancy, so why didn’t their players have the same rights? Furthermore, you or I could transfer today, and Marquette would have absolutely no say in where we could or couldn’t land. Then there’s the case of Aaron Durley, a 6-foot-10 recruit set to join Marquette next fall, who was “released” from his national letter of intent binding him to this institution. He is now free to go anywhere else but here. How convenient that a school can simply release itself from a binding contract at the drop of a hat with absolutely no explanation. Imagine getting a call from your advisor today telling you your scholarship that had been promised would no longer See Greska, page 15

Senior forward Jae Crowder is working hard in the off season to adjust his skill set and move to shooting guard.

Forward says he wants to play guard as a professional By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Former Marquette forward Jae Crowder was known around college basketball as one of the hardest-working forwards in the country. When his name is called on June 28 in New York City at the NBA Draft, however, the team that drafts Crowder will be adding a shooting guard to its roster. The 6-foot-6 Crowder, who played shooting guard his sophomore season at Howard Community College, has begun training for the upcoming draft and is looking to move back to shooting guard at the next level. “I want to play the ‘2,’” Crowder said. “Being 6-foot-6, being able to guard the post can be tough for you, and I don’t want it to be too tough.” The process will require the 245-pound Crowder to lose 20 pounds over the next two months while also refining his current skill set. While finishing up his final semester at Marquette, Crowder has been taking weekend flights to Miami, where he trains and stays with his father, Corey.

The three-day workout sessions include ball-handling, agility, shooting, strength and nutrition, all of which Crowder has specific coaches for. The move to the perimeter will be a difficult one for Crowder, but it’s not the first time he’s done it. “When Jae first came here, he didn’t have a good attitude about working,” junior guard Junior Cadougan said. “But once he realized that time was running out, he started to work hard. He started to be the leader on our team.” Crowder admitted his focus and dedication lacked when he first arrived at Marquette. But an understanding of what coach Buzz Williams expected on a daily basis helped mold him into one of the hardest workers on the team. “It was about buying into the program as a player and a person,” Crowder said. “When you transfer in, there’s going to be things you don’t like. Once I figured that part out, everything started coming naturally. It was a process, and me buying in helped me exploit my skills and exploit my talent.” Crowder averaged 11.8 points and 6.8 rebounds his first season at Marquette, one year after being named the junior college player of the year at Howard. But increased responsibility as the team’s senior leader

propelled him to new heights in 2011. Crowder exploded onto the national scene, averaging 17.4 points and 8.1 rebounds and leading Marquette to its second-straight Sweet 16 berth. “It was hard for me to see when he had a bad day because he works so hard, regardless of the day,” freshman guard Derrick Wilson said. “We could play three Big East games in a row, and he’d still come out the next day and work just as hard.” Crowder will likely be the third Marquette player drafted in the last three NBA Drafts, following Lazar Hayward and Jimmy Butler. But it was a conversation with Wesley Matthews, who went undrafted in 2009, that Crowder noted as most helpful. “He reached out and told me once I get to workouts to just keep doing what I’ve been doing, do what I hang my hat on,” Crowder said. “Every guy has skill, can make shots and defend, but every guy doesn’t work hard each and every play.” Crowder’s move from forward to guard will require hours of training, but if the last two years are any indication, he should have no problem accomplishing that goal. “There aren’t many guys who can do the things I do,” Crowder said. “I’m trying to sharpen up each tool I have to be a guy the world has never seen before.”

No consolation for MU Tennis

Bad weather ends season early for men and women By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s and women’s tennis teams saw their seasons end quicker than they would’ve liked in the Big East Championships due to inclement weather conditions. Both squads were in the midst of taking on Georgetown in the consolation round Saturday after losing on Friday when rain washed out the matches. The seventh-seeded women’s team entered play with a tough loss as senior Olga Fischer sprained her ankle after stepping on a ball in practice. Fischer would not play for the rest of the tournament and coach Jody Bronson moved senior Gillian Hush to the No. 1 spot in singles play. Despite the injury to one of its star players and leaders, the Golden Eagles swept 10th-seeded St. John’s in the first round 5-0 before dropping their second round matchup 4-0 to No. 2 South Florida later in the day. Bronson said her team was left in a tough spot with Fischer out of the lineup, but a win in the doubles round against the Red Storm boosted her team’s confi-

dence and carried them to the impressive win. “We won the doubles point with all new teams,” Bronson said. “Tina (Radan) and Ana (Pimienta) hadn’t played together before and Gillian (Hush) and Vanessa (Foltinger) hadn’t played together before, so it was a whole new look there. It was a great win and it gave us a lot of energy.” Hush, Radan, freshmen Ali Dawson, Foltinger and Pimenta and sophomore Rocio Diaz all won their singles matches, allowing Marquette to advance to the second round. In the loss to the Bulls, Bronson said her team simply didn’t show up as they had in round one and that South Florida was clearly the better team, but the next day the Golden Eagles would play well above their seed. Before the rain and wind forced the consolation match’s cancellation, Marquette had the fifth-seeded Hoyas right where it wanted them. The Golden Eagles had secured the doubles point and won all of their first sets in the singles round, dominating Georgetown. “We were just on a roll, we were on a tear,” Bronson said. “Every player knew that they had to pick it up with Olga (Fischer) out of the lineup and they were so energized and focused on winning the match. If we had had another 20 minutes or so I’m confident we See Tennis, page 15

Sports History

When Marquette hosted its first track meet in six years back on April 26th, 2008, the weather didn’t cooperate. Winds were blowing at 10 to 15 mph on average with gusts reaching up to 40 mph — conditions were not ideal for the Marquette Twilight Meet. But the hosts went on to win 17 events and dominate on their home soil at the Melvin “Bus” Shimek Track at Valley Fields. The massive gusts were so brutal, the men’s pole vault had to be canceled. Some qualifying times recorded on the day

10 a.m. - The Melvin “Bus” Shimek Track at Valley Fields

were also in danger of being nullified because of the high levels of wind assistance given to some runners. The wind was well above the maximum limit in sprinting events. But that didn’t stop two Golden Eagles from making history. Junior Carrie Schmid set an all-time facility record in the women’s pole vault, and junior Rachel Thiel did the same in the women’s shot put. Schmid leaped 3.55 meters, and Thiel threw 14.77 meters on the windy afternoon.

The Marquette golf team saw its final action before the Big East Championships at the Battle at the Warren in South Bend, Ind. on Sunday. The Golden Eagles placed third out of five teams, trailing only host team Notre Dame and Illinois State with a total score of 601. Freshman CJ Swift led Marquette, shooting a 3 over par 73 in the first round and a 5 over par 75 in the second, good for a tie for 7th place on the individual leader board. Sophomore Corey Konieczki also put up solid numbers with a first-round 76 and a secondround 75 placing him in 15th on the leader board. The rest of the team, as has been the trend, struggled. Beyond its top two players, Marquette had a hard time achieving a round score lower than 80, leading to yet another middle-of-the-road performance. Freshman Adam Chester had the team’s worst finish with an 84 on day one and an 80 on day two. Notre Dame took the top six positions on the leader board, winning in dominant fashion. The Golden Eagles will be seeing the Irish and the rest of the conference once again in the Big East Championships.

Women’s Soccer The Marquette women’s soccer team split its two games on Saturday with a 3-1 win over Iowa at home before falling to Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2-1 at Engelmann Field. The match against Iowa featured two 35-minute halves and sophomore forward Maegan Kelly got the Golden Eagles on the board with a penalty kick in the 17th minute. The Hawkeyes answered with a goal just seven minutes later and the match was deadlocked at halftime.

life is a maze. it is full o f

Sophomore midfielder Cara Jacobson put Marquette ahead for good with a goal in the 62nd minute, and fellow sophomore midfielder Vanessa LegaultCordisco added a goal for good measure just three minutes later. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Sofie Schunk made three saves in the win. The Golden Eagles then traveled across town to take on the rival Panthers for another 70-minute contest. Marquette got off on the right foot early

when freshman forward Mady Vicker gave the Golden Eagles a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute. But two Panther goals in the second half were too much to overcome and Marquette dropped to 3-2-1 on the spring season. The campaign will conclude this weekend when the Golden Eagles travel to Madison to take on Wisconsin-Madison and a play a rematch with Milwaukee on Saturday.

For the second, and last time this season the Golden Eagles will get a final chance to improve their races on their home track before the Championships begin on May 4 in Tampa, Fl. The men will look to junior sprinter Kyle Winter to bounce back from him blister injuries that subdued his competitions during their west coast challenge tour at the start of the week. The women should see good things from Sarah Ball who hit a personal record in the 1,500-meter run at the Mt. SAC Relays.

Teams are built to win, even if they are collegiate teams bound by NCAA guidelines. These two moves were cold-hearted but done with the intention to win ball games. The Grinch — otherwise known as Bo Ryan — didn’t want his player going to a team that they might face over the next two years. Uthoff knew all of the current Wisconsin players’ tendencies, the way the system was run and exactly what the weaknesses of the Badgers were. As such the Grinch blacklisted 14 teams that would definitely appear on the schedule and 12 that might make their way onto it in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Ryan is not the first, nor will he be the last coach to do this. He just happened to do

would’ve beaten the fifth seed.” Bronson said the team’s performance spoke volumes about its versatility and her players’ ability to step up when obstacles arose. “It’s a testament to their hard work all year,” Broson said. “These kids have been working really hard. They’re all better than they were when they came in in the fall. They really peaked at the right time, and who knows what could’ve happened if Olga (Fischer) had been in the lineup too. But still these kids achieved being higher than what their seed was.” The men’s team, seeded sixth in their bracket of nine teams, fell to third seed St. John’s in their first match 4-1. After Marquette was swept in the doubles point, freshman Cameron Tehrani secured the Golden Eagles’ lone point, defeating the Red Storm’s Kurt Anbarci 7-5, 6-4 in singles play. Sophomore Logon Collins and senior Jonathan Schwerin’s matches were left unfinished. Collins and Schwerin were both in their third sets at the No. 3 and No. 4 spots, respectively. Much like the women’s squad, the Marquette men were off to a dominating start in the consolation matchup with the seventhseeded Hoyas. They had secured the doubles point and won the first set in four of their six singles matches, but the wind and rain forced early cancellation of the round. Coach Steve Rodecap was disappointed with his team’s loss to the Red Storm and with the consolation round being cut short. He was happy with the Golden Eagle’s effort all the way through,

but felt for his seniors and the way that their Marquette careers came to an end. “Our guys played hard but I feel like we didn’t really play our best tennis and certainly didn’t play well enough to get out of that first round,” Rodecap said. “Our seniors are great kids and have represented our program very well and I hate to see them leave. It’s unfortunate that we weren’t able to get it done for them.”

Tribune 15

The Marquette track and field team traveled to California for a weekend of competition at three different sites. The team saw junior Evan Ross step up in the 800-meter dash in the absence of junior Kyle Winter, who was battling blister issues. Ross qualified for the Big East Championship with his time of 1:51.80. Winter ran earlier in the weekend at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. where he struggled with a time of 1:56.66. His personal best from 2011 was 1:49.84. Winter looked good through the first 600 meters, until the blisters caught up to him and led to his fall from the front of the pack.

it during a week when not much else was going on. Here in Milwaukee it is no secret that Marquette is heavily recruiting Arizona State transfer Trent Lockett. With no available scholarships at the moment, somebody was getting the axe. Durley was having trouble seeing floor time for his high school team, and according to his coach Ronnie Courtney, needed to “work on everything.” He was a potential prospect who didn’t pan out as expected, so Buzz and Co. said thanks but no thanks. It’s not personal — it’s just business. Ryan and Buzz are paid exorbitant amounts of money to win games. Don’t let any of their quotes or emails about making players better humans tell you any different. Their job is to win enough to make the NCAA Tournament every year and, once in a while, make a deep

tourney run. Ask yourself this: If Buzz went 6-23 the next two years but graduated all of his players and transformed them into Rhodes Scholars, would he still be the head coach of the Warriors? Absolutely not. It doesn’t matter what the NCAA or the Athletic Department tries to peddle. Winning is the main goal — with keeping players off the police blotter second. So while the moves by both coaches this past week were heartless and self-serving, they are the norm in the current win-at-all-costs environment. I’m not one to say it’s right or wrong, I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming otherwise. As Ricky Bobby once said, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.”

Senior Tyler O’Brien continues to post solid times as his career starts to wind down at Marquette. O’Brien set a personal best for the 2012 outdoor season in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.45 at the Mt. SAC Relays, before breaking that mark at The Beach Invitational by running 21.36 seconds. Senior Jack Hackett used the Mt. SAC Relays as a base to shatter his own personal best in the 5,000-meter race by 15 seconds. Hackett cemented his name as the fourth-best time in Marquette history (14:14.45) to finish 20th at the meet. Senior Blake Johnson’s time of 29:52.59 in the 10,000-meter was good for fifth place at the

Mt. SAC Relays as well. On the field events side, senior Jonathan Kusowski set a personal best in the javelin toss and took over third place on Marquette’s all-time list with his throw of 56.23 meters. Three appeared to be the magic number in the record books as senior James Muehleman shined in the triple jump at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif. Muehleman leaped to a sixth place finish with a jump of 14.47 meters. The Golden Eagles will host the Marquette Invitational on Saturday, April 28th.

Transfer brings much-needed NCAA experience By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

Clumsy is the main word that comes to mind when Marquette men’s lacrosse coach reflects on watching sophomore Ben Dvorak’s first practice with the Golden Eagles after transferring from Bellarmine (Ky.). Dvorak possesses football athleticism after playing in high school, but his collegiate experience and leadership have made him stand out in his first year with his new team. “(Dvorak) has done such a good job since he’s been here and really appreciated the opportunity that Marquette has given him,” Amplo said. “He’s done everything we’ve asked. He’s becoming a leader and player that we hoped he would become.” Dvorak is soft-spoken, but uses his actions on and off the field to make up for his lack of vocal

leadership. Sophomore midfielder Connor Hewett spends enough time with his teammate to know that the way Dvorak carries himself is always consistent. “Going into the weight room every day, (Dvorak) sets the tone. Everyone just tries to follow his example,” Hewett said. “Once you really get to know him, he’s a good guy. He cares for you.” A native of St. Charles, Ill., Dvorak grew up playing baseball, basketball, hockey, football and lacrosse. When it came to high school, he focused on just football and lacrosse. As a senior, he was named Illinois Midfielder of the Year and earned All-State honors. He headed south to Kentucky and played for Bellarmine for a year, where he scored goals against Mercer and Michigan in limited playing time as a freshman. One year of NCAA experience is more than the 14 freshmen currently on the team. Dvorak contacted the Marquette coaching staff once the announcement was made that a Division I team was starting up in Milwaukee. After talking to coaches at Bel-

larmine, Amplo saw Dvorak as a fit on the team and offered him a spot on the roster. The biggest strength that Dvorak brings on the field is his athleticism, where he is quick enough to cover opposing players. His first step is to figure out the defensive tactical scheme that Marquette runs and his redshirt year is playing a big role in the team’s development. “He has shown throughout this year that he is on a path to become one of the first three guys that we put out on game day on our first midfield,” Amplo said. “If he continues to improve like he has, I have no reason believe why he wouldn’t be on our first line-up.” Dvorak has made it a mission of his to be one of the players that carries the team after a year of learning what it’s like to win and lose games. “I want to set myself out and be a team leader for everybody. I want to win us games and keep our team going,” Dvorak said. “If we don’t win games it’s all abut the progress that we made as a team and individually.”

Freshman outside hitter Lindsey Gosh will have to fill big shoes next season.

Koberstein, Raat, Gosh add power to the MU front line By Michael Wottreng michael.wottreng@marquette.edu

Much of the discussion surrounding the women’s volleyball team since the 2011 season ended has been about how it would replace former All-Americans Ashley Beyer and Ciara Jones. Coach Bond Shymansky continues to add players to the lineup for the 2012 season in hopes of finding the right combination. The Golden Eagles signed Estonia’s Eva-Lotta Raat last week. Raat expects to compete with freshman Lindsey Gosh and sophomore Casey Read for the outside hitter positions. Raat will be the first European volleyball player to compete at Marquette as the Parnumaa, Estonia native projects to be a sixrotation player. “She’s a really unique player,” Shymansky said. “She has played for so many years against grown women in an elite league in the Baltic region. She has high-level experience, and it’s going to be important for her to get educated and comfortable in how we do what we do.”

Raat chose Marquette over Hawaii and the College of Charleston and will have four years of eligibility when she arrives in Milwaukee. Shymansky said fans should not expect more foreign players to enter the program given the success the team has had recruiting on American soil. Rather, it was an opportunity for the team to get a player that will be able to help the program. Gosh figures to be the leader for the starting outside hitter position as the team heads toward summer. As a left-hander, she expects to give teams difficulties with her approach. “She was on the court a lot in the spring,” assistant coach Michaela Franklin said. “She was a player that improved a lot in the spring season and was able to get more comfortable on the court.” Assistant coach Craig Dyer, who Shymansky calls the team’s offensive coordinator, said Gosh gives the team some options offensively. Dyer said the Oconomowoc, Wis. native could run in front of the setter making it difficult for teams to move their block. One player that may be setting to the outside hitters is newly signed Elizabeth Koberstein, a transfer from Kentucky. Koberstein was a top-20 recruit out of Madison West High School in Madison, Wis. “She will quickly adapt to our style of offense,” Shymansky said. “It was really what she was born to do. She’s the run-andshoot kind of quarterback and has no fear with what she’s doing.” Koberstein was on campus last week playing in an open gym with her new teammates. Current players had nothing but positive feedback. The players will not have contact with any of the coaches over the summer due to NCAA rules, but with the new faces, competition will be heated once fall rolls around. “You have to do a good job recruiting to replace those kind of kids,” Dyer said. “I feel the players we have on our roster and the additions certainly will have a good dogfight to see who’s going to be on the court.” Shymansky’s team had to overcome the loss of two All-Americans last year with the Golden Eagles churning out a historically good season. In 2012, the team’s expectations should be to reach its second NCAA Tournament appearance.
