Court overturns parts of collective bargaining law Restrictions on dues, reccertification elections removed By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

A federal judge overturned two portions of Wisconsin Act 10 last Friday, earning a partial victory for the opponents of the controversial law, which ended collective bargaining for Wisconsin unions. The two sections struck down would have banned public

workers from allowing union dues to be taken out of paychecks and simultaneously required annual recertification votes that needed all members of the union to agree to stay organized. The remainder of the law, however, has been upheld. Seven major unions, including the AFL-CIO and the American Federation of Teachers, brought a lawsuit against the law — ushered through the legislature with the backing of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — last summer after the Wisconsin legislature passed the bill.

(Clockwise): Gingrich, Santorum, Romney and Paul prepare for a Wisconsin delegates showdown Tuesday.

It’s voting day in Wisconsin, and primary contenders Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are all on the ballot, along with candidates in local elections. While Rick Santorum had been gaining ground in Wisconsin, according to polls taken by Marquette’s Law School in February, Mitt Romney has climbed to the number one spot, according to the school’s most recent March poll. The winner of the Wisconsin primary could potentially earn an additional 42 delegates to their total. While this is more than the Washington, D.C. (19) and Maryland (37) primaries taking place today, earning all of Wisconsin’s delegates alone would not be enough to change

Students spent eight years raising funds for project in Africa By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Most Marquette student organizations stay local, but one group is making an impact across the ocean in a village of 60,000 people. Marquette social awareness group Watumishi: People of Service recently finished a project eight years in the making — building a Library Learning Center at

St. Joseph Shelter of Hope in Voi, Kenya. Beginning in 2004, a group of students traveled with Karen Ivantic-Doucette, former clinical assistant professor of Marquette, to the Shelter of Hope to assess the HIV and AIDS epidemic in the area. Upon the students’ return, three of the students, Greg Saint Arnold, Conor Sweeney and Timothy Kummer, wanted to continue their relationship with the people of Voi. Colleen O’Conor, a senior in the college of Arts & Sciences, traveled to Kenya in January 2010 and spent four months in the community of Voi helping in any way she could. See Watumishi, page 5

GSA hosts panel discussion Event meant to promote inclusivity, acceptance at MU By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

Marquette’s Gender Sexuality Alliance declared their mission to end silence on campus at a panel discussion last Wednesday in the Raynor Library. Students, faculty and administration from Marquette attended along with GSA members from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Milwaukee School of Engineering. “We want to show the university there are people who care about LGBTQ issues at Marquette,” Matthew Bin Han Ong, a senior in the College of Communication, said in the discussion. The focus of the panel was to discuss what members learned at the Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgender Ally College Conference (MBLGTACC) at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa in February. More than 2,100 students came together to learn about LGBTQplus issues at the conference. Ed de St. Aubin, faculty advisor of GSA and associate professor of psychology, said the students wanted to continue on with what they learned at the conference when they returned to campus. The GSA panel said the two

goals they took back from the requirement for a class on gencampus were to end both gender der and sexuality issues in the binarism and heteronormativity Core of Common Studies, havon Marquette’s campus.

MUSG looks at sexual assault

Gringrich stresses Wis. roots

Speakers describe efforts to address on-campus problem By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

Bergen said the university has concentrated its efforts on education and prevention. Bergen said there is a focus on freshman students, especially those in their first six weeks of college, because they are at the greatest risk. Bergen said 95 percent of the residence hall population was reached through the 77 programs presented. Bergen said the university plans to continue these efforts into the fall. “We have every intention of doing that again this year,” Bergen said. Non-first-year students were targeted as well through student leaders. Bergen said much of that reach included discussions, which he said saw 100 percent participation. The four speakers said they are working hard on the issue with other dedicated staff members and know they have a long way to go to eradicate sexual assaults on campus. Marquette is continuing to develop bystander prevention awareness initiatives to address how the campus should act and respond in cases of sexual assault. Daood said Marquette must hold itself responsible for a respectful and inclusive community and help students look out for each other. O’Brien said the website on sexual misconduct is up and running with updated policies and procedures and information for victims.

At last Thursday’s MUSG meeting, members saw a presentation on campus sexual assault awareness and education. The presentation was given by Dan Bergen, assistant dean for university apartments and off campus student services; Sue Cooper, coordinator of sexual violence and advocacy services; Chris Daood, assistant director of the Counseling Center; and Lynn O’ Brien, sexual violence prevention coordinator at the Counseling Center. The presentation included information about Marquette’s past efforts to decrease campus sexual assaults and raise awareness about sexual assault prevention. It also covered new initiatives the university is using to educate students, staff, faculty and administrators about proper reporting procedures in the event of a sexual assault. “Anyone on campus that becomes aware of sexual assault is required to contact (the Department of Public Safety), which must contact the Milwaukee Police Department,” O’Brien said. MUSG Notes

In a campaign rally at the Weasler Auditorium Thursday night, GOP presidential candidate and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich emphasized his relationship to Wisconsin, stressing the Whitehall roots of his wife, Callista, and avoiding any mention of his GOP rivals. Gingrich has been struggling in recent Republican contests, lagging behind the frontrunners, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. In a Marquette Law School poll released March 27, Gingrich placed last among the major candidates, receiving the support of only five percent of potential voters. Gingrich announced March 27 that he would scale back his campaign due to financial constraints,

and would instead focus on winning the nomination at the GOP convention in August. “Our only opponent is Barack Obama, and we are committed to removing him from the White House,” Callista Gingrich said. Gingrich spoke on a variety of topics ranging from the role of religion in America to what he described as the incompetence of the federal government. Recalling the first flight of the Wright Brothers, he stressed that it was not the government and congressional funding that created aviation, but rather the work of private individuals. “You have a government (today) dedicated to the avoidance of innovation,” Gingrich said. He concluded with a call for the introduction of private investment accounts as a an alternative to the current Social Security system, an idea that has been one of the focal points of his campaign. Gingrich said that had these accounts been introduced during the 1970s, the revenue generated would be enough to pay off the current national debt. After the speech, he answered questions from students and other members of the Milwaukee community. In response to questions

regarding education, Gingrich said he supported a Pell Grant or voucher system for elementary and secondary education and denounced affirmative action policies. “I believe people should be judged as individuals,” he said. The audience left the speech divided, with politically active students’ minds seemingly unchanged. According to College Republican chairman and College of Business Administration junior Ethan Hollenberger, Gingrich was able to stand up to the occasionally hostile questions presented to him. “He did a good job and was able to defend his positions well,” Hollenberger said. But Rachel Contos, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences and a member of the College Democrats, remained opposed to Gingrich’s conservative proposals and denounced the candidate’s use of American history and religion in promoting his message. “I think he distorted the message of the Bible and of the foundin g fathers,” Contos said. “I think he has no sense of the people being born into a society.”

Women of MU highlighted Annual ceremony awards student, faculty, staff leaders By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

Marquette’s Multicultural Affairs held its third annual Golden Roses ceremony last Thursday, which honors female members of the Marquette community who contribute to making Marquette more inclusive. The ceremony was held in the Haggerty Museum of Art. In his address during the ceremony, Vice President for Student Affairs Chris Miller talked about how he has been influenced by women similar to those being honored. “I think about how they have shaped and molded me just as you are shaping and molding students,” Miller said. Carla Cadet, assistant dean for Multicultural Affairs, noted that the event coincided with March

being Women’s History month. She said it is important that as Marquette seeks to become more inclusive, the university recognizes the staff who make that happen. Cadet said there were over 60 nominees, including faculty, administrative and dining hall staff. Women from different academic colleges, Admissions, Residence Life, Sodexo, the Office of Student Development and Student Educational Services were honored. Cadet said Multicultural Affairs started planning the event in October and opened up the nominating process in January. The nomination process ended in March prior to Spring Break. Some nominees were nominated by their colleagues and students, Cadet said, sometimes even more than once by different students. “I’m excited to see participation from those who nominated recipients,” Cadet said. “The support for women we’re recognizing says a lot about our campus.”

Jaqueline Walker, a financial aid counselor for the Educational Opportunity Program and one of the women honored, said it was a privilege to be recognized. “I just want to let everyone know that as much as they think I give, I get it back,” Walker said. Ri’ana Johnson, a student speaker at the event and president of the Black Student Council, said some of the women honored have affected her leadership. “The support, knowledge and experiences given … is definitely a great asset to any student leader who wants to be effective and make a difference,” Johnson said. Cadet said Golden Roses sends a distinct message. “It may not be clear while they’re busy doing everyday work how they contribute to student life,” Cadet said. “We hope the ceremony highlights that. Looking at how many women were nominated is an example of how much influence and support on campus there continues to be.”

Watumishi: Library to double as clinic She said the three students who founded Watumishi really enjoyed their time there but wanted to make an impact. “When they left they wanted to continue to build their relationship when they returned to Milwaukee,” O’Conor said. “They talked to Sister Gen, the founder of St. Joseph Shelter of Hope, and this is what she recommended.” Sister Gen came to Marquette in 1998, where Ivantic-Doucette worked with her to receive a specialized certificate program in health management that she could apply all of her skills and knowledge to the situation facing Kenya. O’Conor said there are two primary goals of the library: improving literacy, and treating HIV and AIDS, which includes eliminating the negative connotations surrounding the diseases. “At St. Joseph they are treating about 600 people at a time,” O’Conor said. “Having a library right next to the treatment center allows people to be comfortable with their circumstances and ignore the stigma. They could easily say, ‘I’m going to the library and to read but (I’m going to) actually seek treatment.’” The organization sent its last wire transfer of approximately $6,000 in February. Construction will be completed in early May as the contractors can only work when money is sent so they do not go into debt. Each year the organization wires close to the same amount to the Shelter of Hope. Currently, workers are completing finishing touches like electricity and plumbing. Carissa Molina, a graduate student in the School of Dentistry, has been involved in Watumishi since her sophomore year in 2007, and traveled to Kenya for two weeks during summer 2009 with five other

Marquette students (now alumni), Allison Berg, Pamela Livorsi, Micaela Robb-McGrath, Patrick Duffey and Sumeet Uttamchandani. Molina’s trip was a way for the students to understand what was happening at the Shelter of Hope, since students had not traveled to Voi since 2007. “Two main goals we had were to reestablish the relationship between Marquette and the Shelter of Hope and to learn more about the progress and development of the Library Learning Center so that together we could come up with strategies to complete the project,” Molina said. While there, Molina worked with the Sisters of St. Joseph and the staff. The students assisted the staff and accompanied them on outreach and patient home visits. “We also dedicated much of our time to the project that has been the central focus of Watumishi since its inception — the Library Learning Center. … To gain a better understanding of how the LLC may benefit the Voi community, we met with different groups of children, youth and school teachers.”

According to Molina, the most inspiring people she met with were in the youth group from Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Parish, who explained to her how the library would benefit them physically and mentally. “They feel that the town is losing some of its most brilliant minds to the big cities because they leave Voi to gain better opportunities and few return,” Molina said. “They all agreed that the LLC, with books and Internet access, would provide them with the valuable tools necessary to achieve their goals.” Watumishi is hosting a ceremony to publicly announce the results of the eight-year project. But Molina said she could already sum up the project in one word she learned in Kenya: “harambee,” meaning “all pull together.” “To me, it also sums up what Watumishi and the SJSH is all about. The dedicated men and women at SJSH, Watu members past and present, and generous donors have all pulled together for the common goal of providing access to education to the Voi community.”

MKE gas prices on the rise EPA regulations have local pump prices at their peak By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu

Milwaukee gasoline prices reached an all-time high last week, with the average price of regular, unleaded gas hitting $4.20 per gallon on March 28, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Prices have since slightly decreased, to $4.14 per gallon, but they remain significantly higher than those in the metro areas of Madison, La Crosse, JanesvilleBeloit, Green Bay and Eau Claire, which all have average prices of regular gasoline under $4. AAA Wisconsin Vice President of Public Affairs Pam Moen said the regulatory policy applied to Milwaukee’s gas is a major reason for the higher prices. “Milwaukee is required to use reformulated blends,” Moen said. “The rest of the state uses conventional gasoline, which is a different formula. Years ago there was an EPA act that required certain areas of the country to use formulas that limit emissions.” Moen said the quantity of these reformulated blends is what drives up prices in the

Milwaukee area. “What’s happened the past couple of weeks is that the supply for the reformulated gasoline in the Milwaukee area has been a bit tighter due to some shortages in the refineries, which has caused the price to be so much higher,” Moen said. Marquette adjunct economics professor Heather Kohls agreed that the regulatory impact is a large factor for differences in gas prices in different regions. She also noted that during warmer weather, Milwaukee is required to use a different blend that costs even more. “Most of the regional disparity in oil prices is government regulation driven,” Kohls said. “In California they have requirements about what gasoline can have in it, so they have special refineries to make their gas. In Illinois they have higher taxes. The EPA has mandated that any month when it gets hot, we have to use this special formulated gas.” Pat Garrett, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences who has a car on campus, has noticed the spike in gas prices in Milwaukee. However, it has not hindered his driving tendencies, even when he travels to work in Racine or returns home to Illinois. “It would probably cost less to take the train (when I go home) or something, but it’s worth (having the car here),” Garrett said. “I usually fill up in Racine because

the prices in Milwaukee are higher.” Garrett said if prices continue to climb, his driving habits still will not be affected – but other spending will. “It’s going to get to a point where I’m not going to spend money on other things because I need the car,” Garrett said. According to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the national average for regular gas stands at $3.92 per gallon, only $0.189 behind the record national average that occurred in July 2008. Kohls pointed to two main factors for the high gas prices nationwide. “First is the U.S. dollar,” Kohls said. “When there is all the uncertainty and debt crisis in Europe, people want to hold dollars, not Euros. The price of the dollar then goes up.” “The second big unknown is Iran,” she continued. “As a country, (we) don’t buy any oil from Iran, but Europe does. If someone were to declare war on Iran, it would make things even more uncertain. That makes speculators nervous. When people expect prices to go up, they actually do go up.” Despite Milwaukee’s record highs, prices are even steeper elsewhere. Wailuku, Hawaii has prices hitting $4.78 per gallon, while nearby Chicago tops the U.S. mainland at $4.65 per gallon.

Collective: Despite judge’s decision, fight not over yet The unions argued that the law violated the equal protection clause of the constitution because it took away collective bargaining rights from most public workers in Wisconsin, exempting police and firefighters only. It was this exemption that led U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to overturn those two sections of the act, as the law was not being applied evenly across all Wisconsin unions. Conley ordered that the “automatic dues withdrawal” be reinstated by the end of May. Patrick Garrett, chair of Marquette’s College Republicans and a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said this doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the law. “It is important to remember that this one judge will not be the last one to speak on the matter,” Garrett said. “It is unfortunate that people who work hard for their money are going to be forced to give a portion back in union dues even if they prefer not to associate with a union. I believe that those dues should be voluntary.” The passing of the law in early 2011 caused an uproar across the state and resulted in the collection of almost a million signatures advocating for Walker’s recall. In the face of a recall election, Walker will now likely have to defend the parts of the law

being overturned. Andy Suchorski, chair of the College Democrats of Wisconsin and a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the ruling is a step in the right direction for employees in Wisconsin. “Collective bargaining rights are fundamental worker’s rights, and the elimination of collective bargaining has hurt the quality of K-12 education and higher education in Wisconsin,” Suchorski said. “The ruling will allow public sector unions to continue receiving dues and it will change their certification process, making it easier for workers to join a union and allow the union to more effectively advocate on their behalf.” Feelings about the ruling have been split along party lines. While many Democrats have applauded the ruling, some Republicans have disagreed. Mike Tate, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic party, said in a statement that the federal judge made the right decision for Wisconsin workers. “Scott Walker’s so-called budget repair bill has been divisive, unfair, radical and offensive to the values of Wisconsin,” Tate said. “Now it’s been found to be offensive to the Constitution. Wisconsin deserved better than this bill, just as it deserves better than Scott Walker.”

Reader’s Submission

Maybe we’re the problem with sexual health In the recent Marquette Tribune article on sexual health and education, Jennifer Beste of Xavier University suggests, “we don’t live in a social context where people are respected for waiting (to have sex).” It is quite discouraging that society seems to respect, and even encourages, sleeping with someone else’s future spouse. (No wonder divorce rates are skyrocketing.) Beste seems to welcome the hook-up culture on many Catholic campuses as morally acceptable because it is a cultural “norm” for many students. Is something morally justified simply because it is popular and “everyone is doing it?” If everyone took up smoking, would it be healthy for our lungs? I agree with Beste that discussions should go beyond abstinence, but her suggestion of sex outside of marriage as a form of empowerment is far from the truth. If I can’t say no to sex, then how much does my “yes” really mean? Having sex outside of marriage and using contraception does not give us the “sexual freedom” society promises; rather, it does the exact opposite. We become enslaved to our own feelings and desires, which is not a good foundation for a lasting relationship or marriage. Many argue the Catholic Church needs to change its stance on contraception, abortion and premarital sex. Perhaps the problem is not with the Church, but rather with us. Our human sinfulness, perpetuated by messages from the media, can blind us from the truth of Christ, whose light shines through the Church. There is nothing wrong with questioning the Church’s teachings in order to deepen our understanding of the faith and grow in holiness. However, questioning the Church’s teachings

because they differ from our own desires reflects our lack of trust in God’s design of human sexuality. The Roman Catholic Church does not seek to impose rules on us to limit our freedom, but rather to free us from the devastating effects of premarital sex, including broken relationships, abortion and divorce. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and not made purely for finite things. When God created us he put His signature on our hearts, proclaiming that we are made for Him in His own image. We were made to seek more than the pleasures of this world, we were made to desire eternal life with God in heaven. When we act on our sexual desires outside the covenant of marriage, our desires turn to emptiness and our “freedom” enslaves us. Saving yourself for the one person with whom you will spend the rest of your life is far more empowering than settling for uncommitted hook-ups and self-serving sexual relationships that deceive us from the meaning of true love. This premise is the foundation for “Theology of the Body,” a series of talks on God’s purpose for our human sexuality given by the late Pope John Paul II. The talks are an exploration into human sexuality and the purpose for the human body. I would encourage everyone at Marquette (and beyond) to read “Theology of the Body” and further explore these topics. If we can work to understand this theology, we will begin to see that “cura personalis” is directed towards glorifying God rather than our own sexual desires. Andrew J. Axt Senior, College of Engineering

Buy groceries with a purpose

Kelly White Where did your last meal come from? If you’re an underclassmen, it was probably a dining hall, in which case don’t think any more about that question, for your own well-being. If you’re an upperclassman, however, you have some opportunity for variety in healthy and nutritious dieting outside Sodexo’s restrictive fare. My last meal came straight from my pantry, which my roommates and I recently fully stocked. We, luckily, have a couple of cars between us to drive two miles to the downtown Pick n’ Save, giving us a robust pantry and full fridge. That Pick n’ Save, located on Ogden and Lyon, is one of the only downtown grocers in Milwaukee. Although the produce is not always great, it is acceptable. The store is easy to maneuver

and they keep shelves well-stocked. The prices are more affordable than Metro Market, let alone Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. Still, if not having a grocery store convenient enough to walk to is a pain for us, and our best options for cheap produce are mediocre, imagine how difficult it is to raise a healthy family in downtown Milwaukee with a tight budget. It can’t be easy, that’s for sure. With few major grocery stores in the most urban and poorest areas, options are incredibly limited. Our campus is situated in such a neighborhood, with the two nearest Pick n’ Saves each two miles away. We live in a food desert. There are an estimated 23 million people living in food deserts in America. The Department of Agriculture has defined these areas as low-income census tracts where a substantial number of residents has limited access to a supermarket or larger grocery store. As students, we have options to find an oasis in the food desert that others do not. We have the opportunity to purchase a meal plan, borrow a car, be creative with bus routes and the ability to borrow money from our parents. Even in our most stressed and busiest of moments,

Marquette students are able to eat. But we must acknowledge that we live in a city divided: by race, by wealth and by food. Honorary alumni Will Allen is on a mission to eliminate Milwaukee’s food desert. He founded Growing Power, an urban farm and education center in north Milwaukee, next to a low-income housing development miles away from any grocery store. The urban garden offers citizens a healthy diet, feeding more than 10,000 people with fresh produce, meat and fish. Independent grocery stores are also combating the issue. Pete’s Fruit Market on the South Side offers truly quality produce at an amazing price. After hearing rave reviews, some friends and I decided to check it out — and it lived up to the hype. The store was clean and organized and there was plenty of fresh produce, as well as other necessary groceries. For less than $15, I got a week’s worth of fruit and vegetables — a virtually impossible task at any chain grocery store. Pete Tsiritidis started out with just a small stand in 1993, but he recently upgraded to a larger store, featuring a full grocery section, complete meat

department and specialty Hispanic groceries. On a chilly spring Sunday morning, the store was filled with people, as Pete himself stood handing free samples with Spanish music filling the air. Piling back into our car with bags of fresh food, we could not believe how much we got for how little we spent and agreed this would be our spot for produce from now on. We are lucky that we do not have to worry much about where our next meal comes from. But as people with the means to shop where we choose, have a responsibility to shop at places that promote equity. By shopping at small and locallyowned markets, Marquette students can promote places like Growing Power and Pete’s Fruit Market, and thus encourage low prices and good quality. Plus, it’s a great deal for us as college students, who are conscious of where our money goes — because we don’t have much, and we want to spend it on fun, not groceries. Supporting alternative grocery stores is an easy way to support our community — and it’s a delightful way to spend a Sunday morning. kelly.white@marquette.edu

On tap: Milwaukee’s sewage struggle Sewerage District dumps waste into Lake Michigan By Sarah Butler sarah.butler@marquette.edu

Dave Frymark remembers a 1993 trip to Walgreens well. It wasn’t pleasant. He was looking for Imodium. “They were out of it,” said Frymark, a Milwaukee native and circulation supervisor at Raynor Memorial Libraries. “The Walgreens manager said it was really strange, that a rush of people had come in looking for (Imodium). That’s when I knew something weird was going on.” Soon, news broke. People panicked. Cryptosporidium — a parasite that grows on fecal matter and causes gastrointestinal illness in humans — had contaminated Milwaukee drinking water, sickening Frymark and an estimated 400,000 other Milwaukee area residents. That year, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) released 9 billion gallons of raw sewage into Lake Michigan — Milwaukee’s primary source of drinking water. By 1994, when MMSD opened its 20-mile underground “Deep Tunnel” wastewater storage system, the number of gallons of untreated raw sewage

dumped swiftly dropped to 176 million — an amount that could fill about 11.4 million beer kegs — and has remained at a similar number every year since. But today the question still lingers in the minds of the uneasy Milwaukee residents who cautiously boiled their tap water during the 1993 scare — how much is too much? “I’m always concerned about water quality, even though it goes through all that filtration,” Frymark said. “I mean, who shouldn’t be? Everybody has to drink water.” Jenelle Joset, a media law instructor with a particular interest in the issue, said she neither drinks tap water nor swims in Lake Michigan. “We need to know how much (sewage) they are dumping and what are the long term effects, not only for us as people but for the environment,” Joset said. “The people who lived through Cryptosporidium here will always wonder, ‘Is (the water) safe?’” And for those residents, finger-pointing is easy to do. MMSD controls the release valve that dumps raw sewage into the lake when rainwater overflows Milwaukee sewers. The facility does this to prevent raw sewage backups into Milwaukee basements. “You either have raw sewage in your basement, or you have raw sewage dumped into your lake, which is your source of drinking water,” Joset said.

“Which is the lesser of the two evils? You can see (MMSD is) between a rock and a hard place.” According to MMSD’s spokesman Bill Graffin, the amount the facility can dump per year is measured by events, not gallons. The facility is allowed four to six overflow sewage dump events every year. But MMSD is neither the sole — nor the worst — polluter of the lake, Graffin said. He told the Tribune that several other Midwestern cities like Chicago and Indianapolis all have larger annual wastewater overflows than Milwaukee. And although MMSD dumps billions of gallons less than it did in 1993, many still debate the long-term effects. A study conducted by the Medical College of Wisconsin from 2002-2004 aimed to determine if gastrointestinal illnesses in children increased after overflow sewage was dumped into Lake Michigan. The researchers concluded sewage release into the lake is “potentially harmful” because hospital visits increased only for those drinking Lake Michigan water after two of the largest sewage dumps during the study. Another study published by researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin links heavy rainfall and an increase in gastrointestinal disease in children, identifying 17,357 hospital visits for such

diseases from 2002-2007. Any rainfall four days prior was associated with an 11 percent increase in gastrointestinal disease visits, and more rainfall was linked to greater increases. Whether or not the damage is long-term, contaminated water harms the environment as well, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. A 2011 report published by the council includes two Wisconsin beaches — one of which is South Shore Park Beach in Milwaukee — on a list of 13 U.S. beaches with 25 percent of beach samples repeatedly exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum bacteria limit. But other factors can interfere with water and beach quality, too. The Great Lakes WATER Institute debunked myths that beach advisories and closings in Milwaukee are caused by sewer overflows, as well as myths that closings and advisories in Chicago are caused by Milwaukee sewage. Instead, the institute attributes this to seagull populations and stormwater runoff from roads and urban areas. And this is not just a concern for recreational use, but also for drinking water. Frymark said after the Cryptosporidium outbreak in 1993, he bought a carbon filter for his tap water. But common household pitcher and faucetmount filters do not necessarily address the bacteria issue, as many filter out minerals to give consumers water that tastes better but is not necessarily cleaner, according to NSF International, a nonprofit public health and safety company. Joset said she only drinks bottled water. Milwaukee Water Works treats and filters the Lake Michigan water distributed to residents as tap water. The MWW website maintains that their filtration process destroys disease-causing bacteria like Cryptosporidium. But according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ordinary disinfection methods should — but cannot always — kill Cryptosporidium and other parasites. Even the best filtration systems cannot

guarantee disease-causing bacteria will always stay out of filtered drinking water. Still, a report from the Environmental Working Group recommends consumers drink filtered tap water, as it states most of the 173 bottled water brands tested fill labels with “vague claims of pristine source or perfect purity — but no real facts.” In 2009 and 2010, 30 of the brands tested failed to provide any information about their water treatment processes at all. Among those were popular brands like Fiji, Trader Joe’s, Evian and Nestle’s Ice Mountain. The Environmental Working Group does, however, report that treated sewage is often still contaminated when released into the lake. A 2007 report says Phthalates, bisphenol-a and triclosan — three hormonemeddling chemicals found in common household products — were all present at low levels in the California sewage they tested, even though it was treated. “We know (contamination is) going in, we know at least some of it is going out, and we know that’s not good,” said Bill Walker, Environmental Working Group’s West Coast president, in the report. In addition to the chemicals detected by Environmental Working Group, overflow sewage is often contaminated with environmentally harmful toxins, bacteria and trash. These affect Lake Michigan drinking water supply, fish consumption, shellfish harvesting and recreation. The EPA, however, notes impacts from sewage overflows are often combined with impacts from other sources of pollution. This makes it difficult to identify cause-and-effect relationships between overflow sewage releases and health or environmental issues. Regardless of the causes, Graffin said Milwaukee residents can decrease the amount of wastewater entering the lake if they conserve water. If less water is used and in the system, sewer overflows are less of a threat, which then reduces the amount of untreated sewage

The shores of Lake Michigan are popular summer destinations for families. MMSD also dumps millions of gallons of sewage waste into the lake yearly, depending on annual rainfall and sewer overflow.

MMSD had to prevent sewage from backing up into Milwaukeeans’ basements. Its solution was to dump overflow into Lake Michigan.

Born This Way

Wild Crea said. “Conservation is the best way to positively impact the Earth … We can do small things to ensure we keep our planet healthy for everyone.” Tyler Atkinson, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, also encourages Marquette to do its part. Atkinson is an intern for Project H2Oscore, a business that helps residential homeowners and small business owners understand their water usage by allowing them to track the amount used — as well as the money they save by conserving. “Marquette has made some progress on the issue as seen with things such as the dualflow toilets in newer buildings like Zilber Hall,” Atkinson said. “If the entire campus were to install even something as simple as faucet aerators in the restrooms, it would make a bigger difference than you think.” But regardless of who and what pollutes water the most, Joset and Frymark agree pointing fingers isn’t the way to solve the problem. “Everybody needs fresh water — it’s absolutely critical to life,” Frymark said. “And it’s everybody’s problem. If you use water, it’s your problem.”

MMSD has to dump into the lake. “Anytime there’s heavy rain, try to use less water,” Graffin said. “You can cut down by some, help the lake and save some money.” According to the MMSD website, if their 1.1 million customers used 10 gallons less water on a day with heavy rain, basement backups and sewer overflows could be reduced by 11 million gallons. Simple changes like not doing laundry when it’s raining or taking shorter showers, in the end, affect the water in which Milwaukee residents swim and drink. “If we don’t have excess water in the system, (MMSD has) the capability to clean it and treat it before it’s dumped, which is what we want,” Joset said. Conserving individual water use is something student organizations like Students for an Environmentally Active Campus encourage. Claire Wild Crea, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and vice president of SEAC, said the organization will sponsor Earth Week April 23 to 27 to promote conservation awareness on campus. “SEAC definitely encourages (Marquette) to conserve water, food really in every aspect,”

The adjustment bureau Read and co. look to fill in outside hitter vacancy By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Expected growing pains at the outside position were evident in Marquette’s five-set home loss to Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Thursday. But there were stretches of promise that have the Golden Eagles hopeful that chemistry will continue to improve throughout the spring season. The Golden Eagles took the first two sets but struggled the rest of the night due to a combination of inexperience and players seeing time at new positions. “We have been playing really hard in practices, and spring is a time to get after it. But we know what we have to work on,” junior middle hitter Carol Henney said. “We definitely have so much potential, and we just have to get it out of ourselves.” One player who impressed was sophomore outside hitter Casey Read, who finished with a team-high 13 kills. Through two sets, Read racked

up six kills and three blocks. Like the rest of the team, she showed fatigue late in the match as Marquette struggled to find an offensive rhythm. Shymansky said he was impressed with her continued improvement. “She’s going to get a lot of reps in the spring,” Shymansky said. “And we have to do what we can to find out where her limitations are, where her strengths are and really find out how we can capitalize on her skill set.” Read only saw action in eight matches last fall, playing behind senior team leaders Ashley Beyer and Ciara Jones on the outside. Shymansky said some of Read’s tendencies remind him of Beyer, specifically her vertical leap and powerful swing. Next year, however, Read will be asked to fill the shoes of two of the program’s most successful outside hitters. But she said the examples set by both teammates taught her how to play and will have her ready to succeed in a larger role. “She wanted to win all the time and that was evident in games and practices,” Read said of Beyer. “And now it’s up to me to adapt to that attitude because,

in the past, I’ve been more of a calm, quiet confident player. But now I have to be bolder as a player, and I have to pick up my game.” Junior Middle hitter Kelsey Mattai and freshman right side Lindsey Gosh have also seen time on the outside as Shymansky attempts to complete his rotation. “The spring is certainly a time of growth in a lot of ways, and you want young players and new players in different positions to get a lot of reps and experience,” Shymansky said. “And some of that experience is going to be failure as much as it’s going to be success.” The Golden Eagles’ potential was evident through the first two sets Thursday night, but the next two weeks to close out the spring season will test the team’s ability to not lose focus down the stretch as new players step into new roles. “We want to make it a learning time for our group,” Shymansky said. “We’ll spend time watching videos and work on individual technique, but overall we have to have that competitive desire.”

Now imagine having to add becoming an NCAA Division I athlete to your to-do list. Tough isn’t it? That was senior Olga Fischer’s world four years ago as she settled into Milwaukee from her native Germany. She wasn’t used to the “grind,” though she would become much more comfortable with it as the time passed. … It’s 3-1 in the first set and the Marquette senior tandem of Fischer and Gillian Hush is in control, having already broken their Louisville counterparts once. Up 40-15, it appears Fischer and Hush are about ready to go into cruise control. Two points later, it’s 40 all as an unforced error and a Louisville winner has put the breaks on the runaway victory parade. Marquette needs this point. Up a break, they can’t afford to give it back so easily. And as this is

One of the three seniors being celebrated prior to the matches wasn’t escorted by parents or family at all. Instead Jennifer Solorio, a senior in the College of Communication and master tweeter, was by her side. Having missed the boat on the whole Jimmy Butler story, I wasn’t about to let this potential scoop pass on by. Just as I expected, Solorio was not Fischer’s mother. She was not family at all, at least in the genetic sense. But in some ways, she was much more than that. Solorio was Fischer’s roommate and cultural See Greska, page 13

Making it big time By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette club hockey team got its own little piece of the big time Friday as it took the ice at the Bradley Center for a friendly against rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The result was a 12-4 routing of the Panthers in which Marquette never trailed. The Golden Eagles held a ten-goal advantage for most of the third period before Milwaukee tacked on two goals in the final two minutes. It was the first time the Golden Eagles had played at the Bradley Center, and for the team’s lone senior, goaltender R.J. Bennett, it was a special way to end a career between the pipes. “Everyone was pretty excited, especially the freshman who got the opportunity to play on a professional rink in front of a bigger crowd,” Bennett said. The scoring began with freshman David Fabris, who beat Milwaukee goalie Trevor Collins off a rebound right in front. Milwaukee junior Nick Burgette came right back with the answer for the Panthers, however, getting his own rebound and putting the puck right between Marquette starter Steve Dreher’s legs to knot the score at 1-1. That was the closest the Panthers would get to catching the Golden Eagles as freshman Tyler Schwichtenberg put another rebound past Collins and less than a minute later, sophomore Kevin Dolan scored off a deke in front of the net to give Marquette a quick 3-1 lead. The award for sweetest goal

probably went to sophomore Sam Nader who took the puck in his own zone, carried it coast-tocoast, skated past two Milwaukee defenders, and lifted the puck over Collin’s right shoulder to put Marquette up 4-1. The Golden Eagles would get one more goal from both Fabris and Nader while sophomore and freshman brothers Ryan and Tyler Zanon, junior and team captain Will Jurgensen, and freshman Sam DePaz picked up goals of their own. While the Milwaukee bench maintained a quiet, somber tone throughout most of the contest, the Marquette bench got a little louder and rowdier with every goal scored. Dreher was mockheckled by his teammates from the sidelines and one Golden Eagle received a round of joking boos from his bench as he skated past in celebration of a late goal. “We had beaten them soundly in the past so we knew a little of what to expect,” Bennett said. “We weren’t going to take any chances and pulled away quick, and then we kind of pulled the throttle back a little bit. We started at full intensity, but as the game progressed it became more of an all-star game kind of atmosphere.” The fun didn’t end there as later that evening, after the scheduled Milwaukee Admirals game, the teams returned to the ice for a shootout competition. This event proved to be a bit closer, although Marquette still prevailed 2-1 and Bennett finished his career at Marquette with a glove save to ice the victory. “There wasn’t much pressure to the environment, it was more of a just-for-fun kind of event,” Bennett said. “It was nice to get out there and play one more time with the guys and to make my final save in the shootout.”

Men’s Tennis The Marquette men’s tennis team was only able to get one victory against the 69th-ranked South Florida Bulls over the weekend in Tampa Bay. Senior Jonathan Schwerin was the lone Golden Eagle to earn a point. Schwerin defeated Ravi Patel 6-2, 3-6, 1-0 (10-3) in the No. 5 singles spot. Marquette was forced to play without the services of No. 1 singles player Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley. The Mexican native is 31-16 on the season and is currently out of the lineup with an injury. The Bulls swept the three doubles matches to start the afternoon as

Seniors Olga Fischer and Gillian Hush won on the No. 1 doubles court to end their careers with one final victory together. Graduate student Tina Radan was also honored with her teammates prior to their matches. Louisville would take the No. 2 and No. 3 courts in the doubles matches to win the doubles point. Marquette’s duo of freshmen Ana Pimienta and Ali Dawson went down to Julia Fellerhoff and Sarah Miller 8-3 for the first loss. After Hush and Fischer topped their opponents 8-1, it was up to Radan and sophomore Rocio Diaz on the No. 2 court. Marquette was up with a 7-4 advantage before the lead and match slipped from their hands. Manuela Velasquez and Rebecca Shine of Louisville came back with five unanswered points for the 9-7 comeback win. Louisville sealed the match after wins on the No. 4, 5 and 6 courts in singles play. Marquette will travel to Tampa, Fla. to face Virginia Commonwealth and South Florida before a quick stop at DePaul. Those matches will conclude the regular season, and the Big East Championship will bring them back to Tampa for another four days of play.

Gloves: Stepping in the right direction

Schunk led La Cueva to backto-back district championships and the New Mexico Big School 5A runner-up in 2009 in addition to winning the 4x400-meter relay state championship as a track athlete in 2007. How her performance in high school will translate to success on the pitch remains to be seen,

but a 2-1-1 start in the spring season is certainly a step in the right direction. Schunk posted a 2-0 win against Northwestern on Saturday night after drawing 2-2 with Illinois earlier in the day. Coach Markus Roeders has seen improvement with Schunk’s game so far in the spring after getting off

to a tough start in a 4-2 loss to Illinois State two weeks ago. “I think Sofie is getting better each day,” Roeders said. “It’s all about getting more experience out there and those kinds of things take time, but we’re certainly happy to have her, and I think she can do some great things.”

Junior midfielder Megan Jaskowiak (16) said Schunk’s experience will serve her well come the fall season.

Teammates adapt to new players and changing roles By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

As the Marquette’s women’s lacrosse team practiced at Valley Fields on Friday afternoon, the sight of sophomore Caroline Collins running up and down the field was likely to stand out. Standing at 4-foot-11 as a collegiate attack wing, Collins is one of four walk-on players on the team hoping to get some playing time once competitive play begins in the fall. What the coaches noticed during Collins’ try-out was her agility and speed when it came to the drills they were working on. The tallest player on the team is a foot taller than Collins, but the sophomore does not see her size as a disadvantage to her style of play. “Working on quickness will be the key for me. Add to that trying to get through people and dodging.” Collins said. “I’m going to be a little bit behind on strength just because I’m not as big.” Collins played a year of Marquette club lacrosse as a freshman with the likes of senior Lisa Beltramello and junior Katie Bathon. Bathon played for Pleasantville (NY) High School’s inaugural women’s lacrosse team before making her way to Milwaukee. Her family is no stranger to hard work in order to get onto a Division I team. Her brother, Chris Bathon, walked onto the Notre Dame football team as a safety. Achieving playing time is the ultimate goal for walk-ons, and Beltramello believes that family is a motivating factor that keeps them going.

“Having my family around me for support is great. I’m Italian, and my family is over all the time for big family functions,” Beltramello said. “When we go play at Connecticut, my entire family is going to be there. If anything, that’s the game I want to get into.” Beltramello played three years of club lacrosse and served as the club president in 2010-’11. She will be graduating from Marquette in June but will gain another year of eligibility if she decides to attend graduate school next year. She attended Suffield (CT) High School, which is an hour and a half from freshman teammate Emily Donovan’s Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, Conn. Donovan shares an East Coast connection with her fellow walk-on. As for the rest of the team, it took a while in the fall, but the recruits and walk-ons are on the same page. “At first it was pretty awkward and difficult, because it just took a while for all of us click. A lot of the recruits were already friends,” Donovan said. “Once they lightened up, they got to know all the recruits really well and now some of them are my best friends.” The chemistry is down pat and as for potential, Donovan spoke loudly when she said she could see them being a threat once competition starts in the Big East. “Lacrosse is really big on the East coast. I’ve seen how far you can push yourself, as well as how fast and competitive the game really is,” Donovan said. “We work so hard every day. If we can just keep it up, I can see us being a threat in the Big East once we get the program going and recruits come for next year.”

Track & Field

The Marquette track and field team returned to action at the Oliver Nickoloff Invitational in Cincinnati, Ohio last weekend. The women’s team saw eight members pick up Big East outdoor qualifying marks, while the men scored 10. Freshman thrower Samantha Kennedy set a new Marquette freshman record in the hammer throw with a toss of 177 feet, 3 inches to finish fourth. Sophomore thrower Kathryn Koeck finished third with a throw of 180 feet, 3 inches. Both Koeck

and Kennedy moved up to fifth and sixth, respectively on the all-time Marquette list in the event. Seniors Blake Johnson and Peter Bolgert ran the steeplechase, finishing second and third, respectively, with times of 9:07.43 and 9:08.56. Junior Cheldon Brown won the high jump with a leap of 6-feet-8 inches, while sophomore Michael Saindon who leaped 5-feet-6 inches finished third. Another senior runner, Jack Hackett, recorded the sixth-fastest time in Marquette history in the 5,000-meter run, finishing third

with a mark of 14:29.75. Connor Callahan (30:54.22) and Patrick Maag (31:23.92) recorded personal bests in the 10,000-meter to finish second and third, respectively. The Marquette women swept the first four places in the 10,000-meter run Friday when junior Carly Windt finished in 36:43.74 to win the event. Sophomore Hannah Frett (37:29.70) was second, followed by junior Christina Sliepka (37:32.04) and senior Alyssa Beste (37:36.03).

BIG EAST NOTEBOOK

michael.wottreng@marquette.edu

Cardinals postseason run comes to an end Kentucky has been the most talented team in the country, and it would’ve taken a nearperfect game from its opponent to upset them. Louisville (30-10, 10-8 Big East) was not perfect against Kentucky, but the Cardinals were able to keep it close in a 69-61 loss on Saturday. Kentucky shot 57 percent from the floor, which normally results in the Wildcats winning by double figures. However, Louisville forced 14 turnovers and corralled 16 offensive rebounds, scoring 27 points off turnovers and on second-chance points combined. Without those two statistics, Louisville may not have been close late in the game. The Big East Tournament champions were not known to shoot at a high percentage all season, but they were able to attempt 20 more shots than Kentucky on Saturday. The Cardinals shot just 35 percent from the floor as their season came to an end. Louisville suffered a multitude of injuries throughout the season, yielding some inconsistency. The Cardinals were as healthy as they were all season heading into postseason play. Louisville won eight straight until their loss in the national semifinals. Rick Pitino will be in great shape to contend for the top spot in the Big East next season. The Cardinals lose Kyle Kuric and Chris Smith to graduation. It will be difficult to replace their scoring, but Louisville may be more consistent next year. Louisville returns Big East Tournament MVP Peyton Siva and West Regional MVP Chane Behanan next season. Include Gorgui Dieng, the Big East’s leader in blocks this season, and uber-talented freshman Wayne Blackshear, and the Cardinals

may find themselves back in the Final Four. Notre Dame, Cincinnati Expect to Battle Louisville for Big East Title A lot of people thought Notre Dame would finish near the bottom of the Big East standings when preseason All-Big East selection Tim Abromaitis suffered a torn ACL in November. The Fighting Irish were able to bounce back and finish third in the conference standings. Expectations for Mike Brey’s club will be to replicate that finish in the Big East next season. Second team All-Big East selection Jack Cooley will return in the middle. Cooley finished first in the conference in field goal percentage, shooting 63 percent from the floor. If he continues to improve, Cooley could put up double-double averages. Notre Dame also returns a backcourt of budding stars. Big East All-Rookie team selection Jerian Grant returns with the look of a player that can rank in the top-ten in scoring. Sophomore Eric Atkins averaged the fourth-most minutes in the conference last season and will be a premier point guard. The Fighting Irish will ask the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility for Tim Abromaitis and Scott Martin. If the NCAA complies, the Irish could start the season as a top five team in the nation. Cincinnati will lose Yancy Gates and Dion Dixon from a team that went to the Sweet 16, but the Bearcats will return four of their top six scorers. Mick Cronin’s group will be led by leading scorer Sean Kilpatrick. The second team AllBig East selection should be a preseason first team All-Big East selection and could be near the top of the league in scoring. Cashmere Wright returns to run the point and if the Bearcats can get some post presence, Cincinnati should contend for the league title.

Sports History

Sophomore Center

There are many coaching changes happening in college basketball around this time of the year, as Marquette fans know well from their experiences four years ago. On April 2, 2008, Golden Eagles faithful were hit hard by Tom Crean’s departure for the head coaching job at Indiana. Crean had been rumored for other jobs in the past, but nothing ever materialized. So when he was on his way to Bloomington, it was a big surprise. Much was made of his departure, with his players finding out on ESPN instead of hearing it from Crean himself. Because of that, among other things, Crean is now thought of in a primarily negative light among Marquette fans, although he is only one of two coaches to take the program to a Final Four, a feat he accomplished in 2003. During his introductory press conference at Indiana, “Crean in Crimson” became famous quickly, and Marquette fans felt betrayed. Little did they know a young upstart and unknown Texan would quickly make Crean a thing of the past. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu
