Obama popular Dolan’s warm welcome among young Group’s enthusiasm still high but below 2008 voter turnout By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

As President Barack Obama makes the rounds to college campuses in North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado to mobilize young voters, a recent Gallup poll shows that his overwhelming support from young people may not translate into votes. According to a phone survey conducted by Gallup from April 20 to 24, people aged 18 to 29 in the U.S. support Barack Obama over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president, 64 to 29 percent, but these supporters are also the least likely to be currently registered to vote and are the least likely to vote. Overall, Obama leads Romney in the polls, 49 to 43 percent. That gap gets smaller, however, as the age of voters increases. Obama leads by 4 and 5 points among those 30 to 49 and 50 to 64, respectively. Among those 65 and over, Romney leads Obama by 12 points, 52 to 40. John Heflin, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences and an intern with the pro-Obama group Organizing for America, said it’s too soon to tell how college students will vote at the polls in November.

“Organizing for America is focused on talking with college students directly, and discussing how the president is fighting to help young Americans,” he said. “In my conversations with students, his accomplishments are resonating on campus. Come November, I believe that college students will prove this poll wrong.” While it’s no surprise that college-aged voters are less likely to turn up at the polls on election day, even small support groups can make a difference in an election. Romney has an advantage in his high levels of support from people aged 65 and over, 92 percent of whom are registered to vote. Chris Stewart, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and political science major, said that while many students he knows are registered to vote, he doesn’t know whether they will actually get to the polls come election day. “I don’t get as much time to keep up with those issues as I’d like to because of schoolwork and everything,” Stewart said. “I know a lot of my friends have that problem as well.” Stewart added that being uninformed can also inhibit students from voting. As the election nears, both sides continue to try to appeal to college students. In a rare show of bipartisanship, Romney and See Voters, page 5

Cardinal Timothy Dolan received a welcoming crowd upon his visit to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on Saturday.

New York cardinal returns to former diocese for mass By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marqutte.edu

Former Archbishop of Milwaukee and current New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan returned to Wisconsin Saturday for a special Mass of Thanksgiving at Holy Hill in Hubertus, Wis. Dolan drew hundreds of practicing Catholics to the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians, some arriving as early

as 6 a.m. In his first visit to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee since his elevation to cardinal in February, Dolan made a point to greet as many people as possible. He proceeded down the aisle shaking enthusiastic attendees’ hands, hugging others and smiling at children in the crowd. After the Mass he went to the lower chapel and spoke to a second group, who had watched the Mass on a television screen. In an interview with the Tribune, Dolan said he was excited to return to Milwaukee, having left for New York in 2009. “Coming back to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is coming

home,” Dolan said. “When you’re a bishop or an archbishop, you’re a father of a family, and it’s like a great family reunion and coming back here to Holy Hill. ... It was a homecoming, and I hope it showed.” During his homily, Dolan said his love for the people and the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has not changed. “You stood with me those seven happy years and you have not forgotten me these past three, and I return as a grateful friend,” Dolan said.

Brew City scores high for low cost of living Study finds Milwaukee living conditions make it a top place for young people By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

Don’t move back in with mom and dad upon graduation, seniors — stay in Milwaukee and take advantage of its low cost of living. The cost of living in Milwaukee is lower than the national average, according to Sperling’s Best Places, a website that analyzes and compiles data about the living conditions of cities across the U.S. The overall cost of living in Milwaukee, as of September 2011, was an 89 on a scale based on the

U.S. average of 100. This means Milwaukee is less expensive than average, according to the site, which gathers its data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Center for Education Statistics, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and other governmental and private organizations. Jessica Quintanilla, the membership and events manager at Fuel Milwaukee, an economic development initiative of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, works to put the

Milwaukee region on the map. Quintanilla is originally from Milwaukee and chose to move back after graduating from college in Minnesota. “Milwaukee is a small enough community to make a name for yourself but big enough for constant opportunity,” Quintanilla said. Mike Ruzicka, president of the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors, said there is a strong housing market in Milwaukee right now. Ruzicka said there has been an increase in singles buying homes in downtown Milwaukee because of low housing prices. The median value of owner-occupied housing units in Milwaukee is $165,700, while the median

in the United States is $188,400, according to 2012 Census Bureau data. In Chicago, the median value of owner-occupied housing units is $269,200. “We are expecting to see an increase with 20-somethings as well,” Ruzicka said. He said more single women are purchasing homes than single men. Jean Stefaniak, a residential real estate broker who specializes in downtown Milwaukee, said it is cheaper to buy than rent in downtown Milwaukee right now. Stefaniak has been a realtor in Milwaukee for 17 years. She said a low-interest mortgage on a $150,000 condominium downtown would be about $1,200 a month, while rent for a similar

one-bedroom apartment would be about $1,500 a month plus utilities, parking and other costs. “The overall cost of living (in Milwaukee) compared to what you can make is tremendous,” Stefaniak said. Quintanilla said recent reports from ManpowerGroup, which creates and delivers workforce solutions to businesses, are incredibly optimistic. Further, in 2012 Milwaukee was ranked the fifth-best city for finding employment by Forbes magazine. She said young professionals in Milwaukee are doing better than other demographics. “(Milwaukee) is a community

New ‘mad cow’ found

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

DPS Reports Wednesday, April 25 Between 7:30 a.m. and 12:47 p.m. a student reported that unknown person(s) removed his unsecured, unattended bicycle estimated at $300 in the 800 block of N. 18th St. The Milwaukee Police Department will be contacted. At 8:53 p.m. three students were in possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia in the 500 block of N. 17th St. The students were taken into custody by MPD, cited and released. Thursday, April 26 At 8:03 a.m. a person not affiliated with Marquette grabbed a cell phone from a student walking in the 1900 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. and fled the scene. The Department of Public Safety detained the subject, and he was taken into custody by MPD. The student’s property was recovered.

A random sample of cows turned up the fourth animal infected with the disease in the U.S. in six years.

USDA discovers new case of disease on farm in Calif. By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

The United States Department of Agriculture reported a new case of mad cow disease in California earlier last week. This is the fourth case found in the United States since 2006, according to the government agency. A Hanford, California raised cow was found to be the culprit in spreading the disease. Workers tested the animal in random sampling, although they have not yet confirmed which farm it was retrieved from. According to the USDA, the diseased cow was immediately removed from all aspects of production and withheld from slaughter. The cow’s carcass will soon be destroyed, according to the same report. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention said mad cow disease, or bovine encephalopathy (BSE), is a mutation of regular proteins. Byproducts of this irregularity affect humans only through eating the animal’s flesh (i.e. beef). Paul Biedrzycki, director of Disease Control and Environmental Health for Milwaukee, said that although no reported cases have been found in the city, he fully recognizes the

severity in controlling such a serious health hazard. He said that should a recall of infectious meat occur in Wisconsin, he would track what products have been distributed throughout the state in order to reduce the risk of producing illnesses. “My job is to work with the Department of Agriculture in quickly and aggressively controlling a problem,” Biedrzycki said. “Some effects of mad cow disease are very serious and degenerative in humans.” In agreement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration claims dangerous and immediate symptoms of contracting the disease include swelling of the brain, which results in a loss of mental and physical control. Biedrzycki added that the primary exposure to such effects was first found in the United Kingdom, although citizens in the United States could be impacted, too. “It is so statistically rare to find mad cow disease in the states,” Biedrzycki said. “It is likely not just cattle-to-cattle transmission – there is usually a genetic mutation involved.” James Algarenga, a bartender at Sobelman’s @ Marquette, said an outbreak of mad cow disease in Wisconsin could have serious ramifications for businesses like his. “We’d have to stop selling our burgers (if they came from infected areas),” Algarenga said. “Business would likely slow down, and people wouldn’t come in as often.” Algarenga added that

although Sobelman’s beef comes from Michigan, the aforementioned disease may still cause panic among customers due to the obvious correlation of the meat (regardless of source) and sicknesses. While only one animal caused this new scare, Julia DeBella, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, said she worries that such a situation could be found in Wisconsin. “Wisconsin is so well known for its dairy that if something like this (mad cow disease) happened here, I don’t know how well it could be controlled,” DeBella said. However, according to the USDA website, mad cow disease cannot be found in milk sources, so dairy-only producers are safe. Regardless, DeBella added that contaminated beef in Wisconsin would serve as an awful hit to campus dining. “There really aren’t many options except burger meat,” DeBella said. “Even if a case was never found here, I’d have the idea of it contaminating this food stuck in my head.” Biedrzycki said while only one animal was reported as infectious, the situation sheds light on an important health hazard. “These findings show us the possibilities of health issues within this country,” Biedrzycki said. “ It makes us think about our health food restrictions and if maybe certain aspects should be watched more closely.”

Luck exists in the leftovers.

Friday, April 27 Between 10:00 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. a student reported that unknown person(s) forcibly entered his secured, unattended vehicle in the 1600 block of W. State St. and removed property estimated at $100. The total estimated damage is $350. MPD was contacted.

At 1:01 a.m. two students were involved in a physical altercation outside Schroeder Hall causing injury to one of the students. The Milwaukee Fire Department and MPD were contacted. Ambulance personnel applied first-aid on the scene. Further medical assistance was declined. MPD cited the two students. At 2:34 a.m. a student reported that an unidentified suspect struck the student in the face in the 1600 block of W. Wells St. Medical assistance was declined, and MPD was contacted. Sunday, April 29 At 12:17 a.m. unknown person(s) vandalized university property in Mashuda Hall causing an estimated $15 in damage. Facilities Services was contacted. At 1:04 a.m. a fire alarm sounded in McCormick Hall, and MFD was contacted. Upon investigation, it was determined that unknown person(s) discharged a fire extinguisher without cause, which led to the alarm being activated. The alarm was reset.

Park East Freeway on Abele’s agenda Plan is to attract businesses to abandoned land By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu

Park East Timeline

During his inaugural address on April 24, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele said he plans to push for redevelopment of the Park East Freeway land and the Downtown Transit Center on the city’s lakefront. According to Abele’s address, a number of groups are looking to buy and develop the transit center, which he said is both underused and one of the most sought-after pieces of land in the entire state.

Marquette political science professor Janet Boles does not think the Downtown Transit Center, which was built in 1992, has lived up to expectations. “Obviously, the transit center was ill-conceived,” Boles said. “There was some hope that people would be using something other than the city bus system, but Milwaukee remains the largest city without a light rail.” The Long-Range Lakefront Planning Committee, in a report issued to the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, recommended that the transit center be redeveloped with “high-value, multi-story use housing amenities.” Richard Robinson, Marquette associate professor of marketing, said recommendations from experts on the situation should be

taken into account. “For the transit center, it is high time that we respected the recommendations of the recognized experts, whose work continues regardless of the political process,” Robinson said. The largely vacant Park East Freeway, meanwhile, was once thought of as a potential home for Kohl’s corporate headquarters, though the company ultimately elected to remain in Menomonee Falls. Brendan Conway, communications director for the Milwaukee County Executive’s office, said that the goal is to still attract businesses despite Kohl’s decision to stay put. “Kohl’s is for sure not going to (relocate to the Park East land),” Conway said. “There was an attractive package and they decided

to stay in (their) location. (Possibilities for business relocation) could be one big business that could come here or many small ones.” Boles said that Abele’s efforts for redevelopment are nothing new for Milwaukee. “Abele is of course going to do what his predecessors have tried to do, and that is getting something on that vacant land,” Boles said. “That vacant land is not producing any tax revenue.” Boles noted that hopes of attracting businesses to this land date back to the tenure of former Mayor John Norquist, who chose to tear down part of the freeway. “There was great hope that (tearing down part of the freeway) would lead to the flowering of this area, but nothing happened,” Boles said. “The only thing we’ve seen

is condos and some worry that we have overbuilt condos. MSOE proposed building a parking structure but there is some complaining that a more revenue-productive use could be found.” Conway said all the redevelopment efforts will take some time, as it is not a quick process. “(The redevelopments) are ongoing efforts,” Conway said. “There is no time line. ... The county didn’t do anything with land for long time and part of it was the economy. We’re doubling down on the efforts to do something.” Abele, elected to his first full term last month, was originally elected in April of last year to finish out the remainder of Scott Walker’s term as county executive.

System would allow students to find out van waiting times By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

A senior capstone project done by five seniors in the College of Engineering could make Marquette’s LIMO system more accessible for students. Clyde Hoffmann, Paul Bono, Lauren Adrian, Corey Bost and Nick Malcolm have been working all year on the project, a website that can track LIMOs in real-time. Hoffmann said the group hopes to make waiting for a LIMO a better experience for students. “The goal was to give students a way so they can see where LIMOs are in real time, wherever they are,” Hoffmann said. “Students may be at the library and taking a LIMO

home (but) have no idea when it will arrive. ... A lot of people decide to walk instead.” But the group is limiting itself to tracking LIMO Express vans, saying the standard LIMOs change directions too often. “Tracking the blue vans wouldn’t help,” Hoffmann said. “(The LIMO Express vans) have fixed routes ... so we just focused on tracking them.” Marquette’s Department of Public Safety, which oversees the LIMO system, has made no plans to adopt the tracking system this semester. Nevertheless, the group remains hopeful and has worked with DPS Lieutenant Katherine Berigan throughout the year. “We’re glad to get the information out there,” Hoffmann said. “(We’re) not taking a dig at DPS, but I think it’s fair for students to be able to ask why we don’t have this. We’ve proved it’s technologically possible and wouldn’t cost a lot

of money.” The tracking system utilizes the GPS function of Android smart phones, which would be placed in LIMOs. Students can then track the LIMOs on the group’s website by using a computer or their own smart phone. Hoffmann said he got the idea when he was a Marquette Student Government senator last year and DPS Director Larry Rickard gave a presentation on student safety to MUSG and the possibility of LIMO tracking was raised. Bono said one of the group’s concerns is maintaining support for the system after its five members graduate. “If something were to happen to the device, (people) wouldn’t know how to fix it,” Bono said. “We built it ourselves from scratch and we’re all graduating, so we can’t provide them with that service.”

Rescuer of two tells story of accident DPS officer entered fatal crash to get trapped passengers By Matt Gozun benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu

On April 20, Marquette Department of Public Safety officer Daniel Hernandez rescued two people from a fatal car accident between a bus and an SUV on N. 20th St. and W. Highland Ave. The 27-year-old former Marine and Los Angeles native sat down for an interview with the Tribune to recall his actions that day.

The Marquette Tribune: What were you doing when you first received news of the crash? Daniel Hernandez: I was patrolling the Marquette area when I was flagged down right at the 900 block of 20th Street by a resident not affiliated with Marquette. MT: What was your first reaction to the crash? DH: I immediately called for more assistance. I saw the accident, got on the radio and called my dispatch. I said, “Hey, send me more officers and contact the Milwaukee Police and Fire Department,” and then I mentioned it was an accident with a vehicle on fire.

I positioned my squad to block the eastbound traffic, and I just ran. MT: What was going through your mind while this was going on? DH: Nothing. Nothing was going through my head. If anything, the only thing was to get in there and help. MT: Can you describe what happened when you went inside the bus? DH: I saw smoke and visible flames (coming from the SUV). I see the bus over here and figure there are going to be more people in it, maybe more kids, so

I chose that. As soon as I got close to it, there was a Marquette employee, who was out there already, and he was the one who told me there are people in there, and I had already heard some cries from the bus. Basically, I went around the front end, saw the door and just moved it and went inside. The Marquette employee followed me and was right behind me. I saw the kid and saw the woman, and they were both pretty banged up and in bad shape, and I just started getting them out. It was smoldering. Apparently, from what I heard, there was smoke. I just remember (smoke) coming from the engine, and I figured the last thing I need is for this thing is to catch fire. Because of that, I pulled them out. I helped assist with the kid, and then the woman; I grabbed her, or she grabbed me, and I walked backwards out. Because I didn’t know if there was anyone else in there, I went one more time inside, and I went through all the aisles to make sure there were no more kids. I then opened the emergency exit and jumped out. By that time, you could see the SUV, the fire and three public safety officers extinguishing the fire. I went straight to my squad, pulled out two more fire extinguishers, ran over, gave one to my corporal and then we started extinguishing the fire. As we were extinguishing the fire, one of the officers grabbed the female who was in the SUV’s arm to see if she had a pulse, thinking maybe we had a faint pulse. But from what I was told, it may have just been our adrenaline, as she was already deceased. MT: How does teamwork factor into DPS’ effectiveness? DH: It’s our job. When we get called, no matter what type of call it is, whether it be to open a door, whether it be for a transport, whether it be for an armed robbery, it doesn’t matter: We always respond. And we respond pretty quickly. We’re there in 30 seconds or less, because we’re so close. There are a lot of phenomenal people that work here, and, at least on my shift, I’m very grateful for the people who I work with. MT: Although the crash did not involve anyone

associated with Marquette, DPS still worked to help those affected. What role in the community do you see DPS playing outside of just Marquette? DH: You look at the squad (car) and it says public safety on there. People see an armed officer with a shield and if they need help they’re going to flag you down. I see the officers here as first responders. If we see something, we have a direct link to the Milwaukee Police Department and the Fire Department, so we can get them out here. We serve Marquette, but at the same time, we are out on the streets every single day with the community. It’s not just students who live in this area. With that, we’re happy to help. If they need assistance, by all means they can flag us down, and we can direct them to the right direction. MT: What misconceptions do you think students have about DPS officers? DH: The funniest thing about this job is when we get called to a party, right away you get that happy look to the frown look. “Uh oh, DPS.” Just know we’re out there to help. If we’re stopping you, we’re stopping you for a reason, because you’re either doing something that’s going to get you into a lot of trouble, or something really bad is going on for me to go ahead and stop you. Just don’t be afraid of DPS. Be honest and grateful DPS is around. They do a lot for the community. MT: How do you react when people call you a hero? DH: I’m not a hero. To me, it’s what is expected. It’s what’s expected of a police officer; it’s what’s expected of a firefighter; it’s what’s expected of a first responder. Not heroic. I’m a public safety officer — they give me a gun, they give me a bulletproof vest, they give me a shield. I’m out there to protect. I’m out there to serve the people, whether it be a student or a community member. I have no question in my mind that a lot of these officers are capable of doing everything and anything. But I don’t see it as a hero at all. To me, a hero is someone who gave their life serving their country — that’s a hero to me.

with a lot of history and a lot of new growth,” Quintanilla said. She said the healthcare industry in Milwaukee is booming with many large companies. “If you’re bored in Milwaukee then you are doing something wrong,” she said. Quintanilla said Milwaukee has a very vibrant young population. Now approaching age 30, Qunitanilla also said she is glad she moved back to the Brew City. “(Milwaukee) had what I needed to become what I wanted to be,” Quintanilla said. Matt Larson, a 2011 graduate of the College of Communication, lives on the lower east side of Milwaukee and works at Serve Marketing in the Third Ward. Larson

said it was easy to decide to stay in Milwaukee because he already had a job there upond graduation. Larson said he has been able to get out of the “Marquette bubble” since moving off campus. “Milwaukee has a bright future that I didn’t see while at Marquette,” he said. He said he has enjoyed exploring the art, music, bars and people of Milwaukee off campus. “I’ve been experiencing the city in a different way than while at Marquette,” Larson said. Larson said moving to Milwaukee full-time was an easy transition. “We don’t have big skylines,” Larson said. “But (Milwaukee is) affordable.”

“My understanding is that the importance of the youth vote was often overestimated by media in 2008,” she said. “We will expect to see some efforts to get young voters to the polls, but the campaign would be wise to diversify its turnout efforts, focusing on a variety of groups that are likely to vote Democratic, not just the 18 to 29 demographic.”

Reader’s submission Extremist views form ideology

Last week’s reader submission, “Libertarian, Far From Republican” was used to attack me personally instead of continuing a healthy political discussion, which the author claimed he was advocating for. The personal attacks are reflective of the nature of today’s extremist Republican Party, one that has moved so far to the right that it is almost unrecognizable from the Republican Party of only a few decades ago. A few weeks ago, the College Republicans and their front group Young Americans for Freedom hosted John Stossel. By sponsoring Stossel, the College Republicans endorsed his radical viewpoints, including his opposition to the Americans with Disabilities Act, Social Security and Medicare, and even key parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Can you imagine an America without the Civil Rights Act, an America where Americans of color are treated as secondclass citizens again? Well, these were exactly the extreme views Stossel and the College Republicans were discussing at their event. They are advocating for a dangerous and backwards ideology that doesn’t produce economic growth and hurts students, women, and minorities. Today’s Republican Party likes to hide their extreme and radical views behind the cloak of “freedom” and “liberty”, but the truth is they are advocating for a society that benefits the privileged and ignores the needy. They advocate for lower taxes for the wealthiest millionaires and billionaires while wanting to slash the basic social safety net that helps tens of millions of Americans and struggling families survive.

Today’s Republican Party is one that advocates for the rights of the privileged at the expense of those truly in need of help, and that is just wrong. Here at Marquette University, we are taught just the opposite, and I am proud to say that the College Democrats are proud advocates for civil rights for all Americans — regardless of color — women’s rights and social justice. We know that there is an acceptable role government can play in keeping our air and water clean, educating our youth, and providing a social safety net that reflects our Jesuit values. It is clear that only one party, the Democratic Party, is the true advocate for individual freedom and the rights of all Americans. Thankfully, we have a chance to fight back against this extremism right here in Wisconsin. Scott Walker is the embodiment of this extremism, slashing health care funding for cancer screenings and mammograms, ending Wisconsin’s equal pay for women law and devastating public education with a $1.6 billion cut in funding, the largest in Wisconsin’s history. Because of these far-right policies, Scott Walker’s Wisconsin is dead last in job creation in the entire country. It is clear that the extreme Republican policies being advocated for by the College Republicans and enacted into law by Scott Walker are simply not working. I ask that you reject this extremism and join me in voting Scott Walker out of office on June 5th. Andrew Suchorski Junior, College of Arts & Sciences

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the EditorIn response to the Tribune Viewpoint concerning sexual health promotion at Marquette, we would like to make several important comments to counter the arguments made by staff members in the editorial. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. It affects almost 3 million people annually and is most common among people ages 15 – 24 years old. However, chlamydia is also a “silent” disease, where the majority of those infected do not show any symptoms, requiring testing for proper diagnosis. Therefore, Student Health Service (SHS) decided to promote chlamydia urine tests to the Marquette population during the month of April in recognition of National STD Awareness Month. SHS was able to negotiate a lower price for this test with their reference laboratory that does the testing, allowing SHS to offer the test for $25 instead of $55. Therefore, SHS is not receiving a profit

from this test. Furthermore, SHS does support sexual health awareness year-round, offering STD testing, treatment and information (available at the clinic or online at www. marquette.edu/shs), as well as hosting programs such as Sex@7. SHS medical staff is also willing to answer any further questions in private. SHS exists to promote and advance the health of the Marquette population, and sexual health is no exception. As the chairs of the Student Health Advisory Board, we take this feedback very seriously and will act appropriately to work with the staff of SHS to improve the promotion of sexual health while maintaining Jesuit ideals. Further questions or concerns can be voiced to SHS staff or members of the Student Health Advisory Board. Sincerely, Jisun Yoo and Kirsten deGuzman On Behalf of Marquette’s Student Health Advisory Board

A VIEW FROM THE FIELD Cadets Kaske, Hines and Wychgram (left to right) consult maps on a daytime land navigation mission at Army ROTC’s spring Field Training Exercises (FTX).

Inside a ROTC training weekend Story and photos by Leah Todd leah.todd@marquette.edu

Tribune reporter Leah Todd accompanied Army ROTC to its weekend of Field Training Exercises at Fort McCoy Military base in Fort McCoy, Wis. Todd was embedded with Squad One from Alpha Company’s 1st Platoon from April 27 to 29. For an extended story and photos, visit marquettetribune.org. The cadets were early, and I was late. Typical. Typical Army, typical me. My squad is huddled around the charter bus, waiting for my arrival. Their faces are blurs to me, floating in a sea of camouflage army greens. We decide to leave the name-learning thing for later, so we file onto the bus. Cadet Catherine Gregory — a freshman political science major from New York who wants to practice law in the army — briefs me on some lingo during the three-hour bus ride to Fort McCoy. “We’re squad one,” she says. “There are two or three squads to a platoon, two platoons to a company and two companies — Alpha and Bravo — to our Battalion.“ I notice the flags on their uniforms are backwards, and ask why. Gregory tells me it’s like the flag is flying behind them, as they move forward. I learn that cadets are titled by their year in the Military Science (MS) program: freshmen are MS1s, seniors are MS4s. Squad One is entirely composed of freshmen and sophomores. Seniors plan the weekend and juniors are off doing their own, more intense training. Some people on the bus study or snooze or quietly peruse maps of Fort McCoy, but there’s chatter, laughter and a general feeling of excitement. The three hours pass quickly.

“Hey, dude,” a cadet hollers. “Why are you cleaning your ACUs?” (ACU: Army combat uniform. They’re pretty much meant to get dirty.) “Because,” the other cadet responds, carefully scrubbing a spot of dirt the size of a quarter near his knee. “We haven’t even been here a half hour, and they’re dirty!”

Kaske, an MS1 who joins our group from another squad, wears bold black DKNY glasses. He holds his map in his left hand. “So,” Kaske asks. “Where are we?” (That seems to me like a good enough place to start.) Hines — who is blond and had done this land navigation thing once before — explains. “We’ll have a master map – this plotting is just practice for you guys,” he said. “You guys ready for our first (coordinate) point? 89, 67 and your points are 63, 34…” The rest of the cadets plot coordinates, spin protractors. An MS4 patrolling the group opens his canteen and pours water down the trousers of an MS1, whose uniform had flapped open to expose some lower back. The cadet jumps up. “At any moment, tuck your shirt in,” the MS4 says. “That’s all I ask.” “Hooah,” the freshman cadet responds. “Thank you.” During battle tactic drills, Cadet Mundinger (left) and Cadet Wittkamper (right) supply security for the rest of Squad One by propping their M16s, filled with rounds of blanks, on their rucksacks.

of peanut butter, a lemon poppy seed muffin top, utensils, the tiniest bottle of Tabasco sauce I’ve ever seen and finally a pouch marked ‘wheat snack bread.’ Mundinger sees my lemon poppy seed muffin and says, “Pound cake’s amazing. Whatever kind you get, it’s good.” I slide my vegetable lasagna pouch into the MRE heater, a thin plastic bag full of a powdered chemical cocktail — including iron, magnesium and sodium — ready to react with the quarter-cup of water I’ll pour in next to create lots of heat and sizzling smoke. Twelve minutes later, my main course is hot and ready. I actually hesitate, wary of all the magnesium smoke and chemicals that just pervaded the vegetable lasagna I am about to eat. Someone nearby compares the process to how factories make Velveeta cheese. I love Velveeta. I dig in.

Exhausted, I sit on a school bus with Squad One after the first day of Field Training Exercises. Cadets Alyse Gooderham and Katie Bronell and I just finished the second exercise of the day: three hours of nighttime land navigation. We did everything we’d done during the daytime navigation — fighting through waist-high thorn bushes and dodging massive, larvae-filled caterpillar cocoons to locate those yellow posts — but in the pitch black darkness of night. I’m talking with Brandon Rickard, an MS4 sitting in the seat behind me. He’s Marquette’s Battalion Commander, the highest student rank possible in Army ROTC. “(As an MS4), you take this much more seriously and try to get as much out of it as you can,” says Rickard, a criminology major. “The biggest challenge for me in ROTC is the balance between college life and ROTC life,” Rickard says. “Everybody else gets to go out on Thursdays and wake up late, but not us.” But the friendships he’s made in Army ROTC have made all the difference for him. “It’s hard to explain,” Rickard says. “It’s a bond more than anything, when you live with each other and go through the same tough things.” This summer, Rickard will travel to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, for more training. The two of us chuck-

le a minute about the irony of this situation; training in the Texas heat will be anything but blissful. Rickard says he tries not to think about the fact that one day he might be holding a loaded M16, staring at another human being, and be ordered to shoot. “If you think about it too much, you’ll freak yourself out,” he says. “I try not to think about the reality of it. That’s the only way to get through it.”

In the female barracks, cadets pass around lotions and chapstick, applying both heavily. “Anything to make this a more comfortable experience,” says Cadet Alicia Towne, a sophomore nursing major and squad leader of Squad One. It’s nearing 2400 — that’s midnight, pretty late for someone who’s been up since 5 a.m. — and Cadet Rice is briefing the cadets on the schedule for tonight’s Fire Guard, where one cadet stands watch over her sleeping comrades for a 50-minute shift. “Do whatever you can to stay awake,” Rice says, nodding emphatically. “Do sit-ups, push-ups, clean, whatever. Nicely wake up the next person on the list.” I’m thankful I was spared from the duty list, because I am asleep within minutes after the lights are flicked off.

Earlier in the week, I sat down with Lieutenant Colonel Robert Kaderavek, professor of military science & leadership in Army ROTC. He has been the head of Marquette Army ROTC’s chain of command since May 2009, and said the post has been the most rewarding experience—both personally and professionally—he has ever had in the Army. “I’ve sincerely enjoyed everything I’ve done here,” Kaderavek said. “I’ve enjoyed the Marquette community, the cadets, my job.” Under Kaderavek’s command, 111 Army ROTC cadets participate in the Military Science program. seventy-nine are Marquette students, 19 attend UW-Milwaukee and the rest hail from MSOE, Concordia, UW-Parkside and Carroll College. According to Kaderavek, ROTC scholarships produce about $4 million in tuition revenue for Marquette.

Cadet Wychgram (left) and Cadet Wittkamper (right) unflinchingly assist fellow members of Squad One in crossing a 10-foot wall.

CLOSER LOOK Kaderavek grew up in Cross Plains, Wis., and said his decision to join the military was simply the most “interesting” option he had after high school. “My mother saw a commercial on TV for West Point,” Kaderavek said. “She asked if I was interested and I said ‘Hm, I don’t know.’ My mother told me that back in fourth grade one of my teachers had said I reminded her of a little general. She said, ‘Maybe you’ve got an aptitude for leading.’” Kaderavek said he entered his training at West Point with little idea of what he was getting himself into. In Kaderavek’s experience, the attitude toward ROTC on Marquette’s Catholic campus has been generally “accommodating and welcoming.” Kaderavek said he has never had to deal with any opposition to Army ROTC’s presence at a Catholic institution—which, according to the Roman Catholic doctrines of Catholic social teaching, should be committed to preventing and solving conflicts by nonviolent means. Debates protesting the presence of a military science program have been perennial on Marquette’s campus, but University administrators have rarely directly addressed dissent. Kaderavek acknowledged that Army ROTC may not be exactly in line with Catholic social teaching, but said he thinks ROTC is a positive force on campus, nonetheless. He said that no program on campus aligns more closely with Marquette’s four pillars: Excellence, Faith, Leadership and Service. “Our nation requires leaders,” Kaderavek said. “The Army is going to produce officers from somewhere. Why not have them be ingrained with the four pillars of Marquette?”

“Alright, who else thinks they have clean stuff?” An MS4 makes her rounds in the female barracks during Saturday night’s weapons cleaning exercise, inspecting M16s before cadets submit them to the scrutiny of the

ROTC staff. Country music blares as the cadets sit around empty pizza boxes and Pepsi bottles — the remnants of a particularly delicious dinner — scrubbing their M16s with Qtips and paper towels. Cadets are in Physical Training uniforms, or “PTs”: flip-flops instead of combat boots, and Army-issue shorts and tshirts rather than full combat get-up. Fingers are black and grubby from carbon build-up in the M16s, but no one seems to care. The atmosphere is lighthearted — relief, I think, that we are no longer belly crawling through cold mud while being rained on. Throughout the weekend, I asked cadets why they chose to be in Army ROTC. There were lots of answers: “I wanted to try something new”; “I’ve always known I wanted to be in the Army”; “The Army Nursing Corps is top-notch.” One cadet laughed and said, frankly, “I have no idea.” Others said they had to find a way to pay for college. As long as there’s an ROTC program on campus, there will be powerful support and feverish opposition. From what I saw this weekend, these Army ROTC cadets hustle. They take orders without question. They make quick decisions when in leadership situations, and they don’t complain.

Tribune 9

When we returned from Fort McCoy, Marquette’s Army ROTC Family Action Network (FAN) Club had prepped a huge meal for us in the Old Gym. The battalion stands in formation, and I recognize each face in my squad: Rice. Towne. Hines. Gregory. Gooderham. Kuzlik. Mundinger. Holt. Wychgram. Wittkamper. Their faces are no longer new, their names no longer foreign. It feels just like a family banquet after a Little League baseball game — proud parents are dressed in blue and gold, a photo slideshow plays on a flat-screen TV and participants feel good about what they’ve done. But instead of picking up baseball bats, these students — as Army dentists, nurses, lawyers and soldiers — will one day pick up dentistry tools, stethoscopes, legal pads and very large guns. A note from the author: To the members of Marquette Army ROTC: I would like to thank each and every person who helped me survive this weekend. Specifically, thanks to Cadet Towne for the chocolate covered pretzels and all the Ibuprofen, Cadet Richmond for the flashlight, Cadet Dicker for lending eye goggles and Cadet Wobschall for her fleece jacket, without which I would not have survived the Saturday outside.

Parents of Marquette Army ROTC students prepared food for a welcome home banquet upon the group’s arrival back to campus.

Increased agility Crowder’s primary focus Big East Player of the Year continues NBA preparations By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Jae Crowder will have plenty to offer NBA teams at the next level with his unique skill set of outside shooting, rebounding and leadership. But as he prepares to make the move from forward to shooting guard, the one area Crowder knows he will have to perfect is his agility.

Crowder has trained during the week in Milwaukee with Marquette strength and conditioning coach Todd Smith and Mike Lee, head skill development trainer at Mike Lee Basketball. Lee, who trained Marquette’s Lazar Hayward and Steve Novak in their pre-draft workouts, also works with Darius Johnson-Odom. The trio has focused on shooting, ball-handling and game situations, but Lee was most impressed with Crowder’s footwork during their agility work and subsequent on-court drills. “One thing that really has stood out about Jae is that he

has great footwork,” Lee said. “Playing the ‘2’ or the ‘3’, a lot of it is about footwork. He has good footwork off the dribble and catch, and that’s the basis for shots in the NBA.” Crowder will continue to work out with Johnson-Odom and Lee in Milwaukee, but once classes end this Friday he will travel and stay in Miami, where he currently trains on weekends. Athlete’s Edge Sports Performance Training was the landing spot for Crowder’s workouts. He has worked with two coaches the last month, one for shooting and ball-handling and the other for agility work.

His agility coach, Mike Smith, said their focus now is improving Crowder’s explosiveness on his first step, as well as hip and lateral movement. “At the next level it’s all about separation,” Smith, who trained Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Knight last year, said. “It’s about going from one movement to the next and having a lightning quick first step.” Because Crowder is only in Miami on the weekends, Smith said they have focused on “essential workouts,” but once he arrives in Miami for the duration of his predraft regimen, workouts will increase in difference and intensity.

Crowder will begin training on the beach, running hills and even running on tracks to improve forward movement. For now, Crowder has focused his workouts on both bursts of speed and quick movement. “We work on power stuff through band work and exploding into the first step,” Crowder said. “And then without, we do cone work and ladder work moving at a fast speed.” Other agility drills Crowder and Smith work on include working with bands for resistance, medicine balls for added upper body strength and lunges for upper leg explosion. Additionally, Crowder’s agility workouts roll over into his shooting and ball-handling drills. The high volume of shots and the intensity of dribbling drills has helped Crowder maintain peak physical condition and improve his range. Many of Crowder’s shooting workouts include moving without the ball and coming off screens, while his dribbling workouts include lateral movement and quick direction change. “I’m trying to make him bigger, quicker, faster and stronger, regardless of where he’s playing,” Smith said. “I’m trying to make him more athletic. His footwork is great, and I want that to transition to basketball.” Whatever his agility drills, both Lee and Smith agreed that Crowder’s attitude and commitment are vital to improving his agility. That, they said, is something Crowder has had no problem doing. “They’re easy to work with because they work,” Lee said of Crowder and Johnson-Odom. “There’s pretty much zero motivation needed on my part. They’re ready to work and ready to get better every day.”

Jae Crowder was a good shooter during his Marquette career, but to get his shot off at the next level he will need to increase agility to get separation.

I’d drop in some funny anecdotes and finish with a few words of “wisdom” that you wouldn’t listen to. And then Derrick Rose blew out his knee. Memories of Chris Otule clutching his knee at Madison Square Garden hauntingly came flooding back in. At 5:45 p.m. on Saturday “ACL,” “Derrick Rose” and “I cried when” were all trending worldwide on Twitter. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how most Chicagoans were arranging the three trending

In Derrick Rose, Bulls fans had hit the lottery 1,000 times over. Here was a humble Chicagoan who also happened to be one of the best basketball players in the world. He was the one that would take the Bulls to levels not seen since No. 23 broke Utah’s heart one last time. And in a simple drive to the basket — boom goes the dynamite.

Final meet a success for MU Bad weather does not stop Golden Eagles from PRs By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette track and field team finished up its regular season hosting the Marquette Invitational on Saturday. Despite cold and rainy weather and the relocation of some of the events to the Marquette Gym, the meet was a success as a handful of Golden Eagles turned in great performances. Coach Bert Rogers said he took the invitational predominantly as one last chance to get better before the Big East Conference Outdoor Championships this weekend. “We were looking to use that meet as sort of a last tuneup for the Big East,” Rogers said. “It was cold, and the conditions could’ve been better, but a couple of our guys were looking to finally PR, and they succeeded in that.” Ten Marquette women and three Marquette men achieved

personal records in the invitational, while three athletes recorded top-five all-time marks. Junior Chanel Franklin won the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.35 seconds, a meet record. Franklin also led the charge in Marquette’s one-two-three finish in the 200-meter dash along with sophomores Gretchen Homan and Kate Hein. The trio recorded times of 25.94, 26.11

Schuh took home the long jump title with a leap of 18 feet1.75 inches, freshman Kathryn Koeck won the hammer throw with a toss of 172 feet one inch, and sophomore Kristen Gaffey

won both the shot put (44 feet, nine and half inches) and discus throw (141 feet five inches.) Senior Courtney Kelly, who claimed a victory in the steeplechase with a time of 11 minutes 15.12 seconds, said she got everything she wanted out of the weekend. “I definitely need to work on hurdles and my water landing, but today was a good step,” Kelly said. “The weather was rough. I tried to take advantage of the wind, but it was rough on the home stretch. I’m definitely looking for a PR next weekend.” On the men’s side, freshman Michael Kemmerer won the 400-meter dash with a time of 50.09 seconds, and junior Patrick Maag won the 5,000-meter run recording a personal and meet record time of 14 minutes 44.10 seconds.

knows how much explosiveness will return whenever it is he does get healthy. You know it’s serious when Twitter unites in eulogizing a player. Kevin Love, Bill Simmons, Jeff Goodman, Darren Rovell and even noted LeBronlover Mark Strotman tweeted how sad it was to see him go down like that. I was crushed, heartbroken, incredulous and just downright miserable from that point on. How could this happen? Why was he in? Is it the shoes? Beyond the personal grief, there was on even scarier outcome as a result of Saturday’s events: the power of false information on Twitter. From the time the game ended it was all speculation as to what the extent of the injury would be. For the first few hours no one really knew anything, which didn’t stop people from pretending they did. A fake ESPNChicago retweet claimed that Rose had torn his MCL and ACL, would miss the remainder of the playoffs and would have surgery on Tuesday. The real ESPNChicago account immediately rebuffed these assertions saying they still did not have any information. However, an employee at the NBC affiliate in Miami did not get the memo — as Stacey King likes to say — about the fake tweet and ran with the information. A few minutes later the Twitter account under BreakingNews repeated NBCMiami’s claims, broadcasting the false information to its

nearly 3.9 million followers. From there all hell broke loose as tweets and retweets flowed endlessly. In a matter of minutes the whole world had been duped by one fake tweet and one reckless intern — most likely the one running NBC Miami’s Twitter feed. It was the absolute most incriminating indictment of today’s journalism mentality. Sure there is a need to get information quickly, but in today’s scoop-getting society, speed trumps truth way too often. Dr. Stephen Byers taught me in one of my first journalism classes at Marquette to believe none of what we were told without verifying it. Your mommy says she loves you, eh? Prove it. That’s what you learn in journalism school. The truth is the ultimate goal. Not anymore. I’m scared of the implications of this first-past-the-post mentality. In the sporting world the consequences are frustrating, but in the end irrelevant. In the military realm, where a twitch of an index finger can mean the destruction of entire cities, it’s downright frightening. You would hope that government officials would be smart enough not to fall for false tweets. Then again, there are sitting congressmen who have linked to articles from the Onion in support of their policy decisions. So this is it. Rose has wilted and my profession flopped. I guess it can’t always be seashells and balloons. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Depth issues taken care of Ciesiulka scores four en route to Spring Cup win By Matthew Trebby matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Coming into the spring season, coach Louis Bennett wanted his team to improve their depth, last season’s biggest weakness. Bennett believes he has now found out which of his current players are able to step in and play significant minutes, and who still needs work. “If we lose one or two key players, I want us to be able to win games,” Bennett said. “That’s why we played a lot of people. We’ve definitely been able to see who can, who could and who might need a little bit more time. So mission accomplished, really.” Marquette completed its spring season by winning the 2012 Division I Wisconsin Spring Cup on Sunday. They defeated Wisconsin-Milwaukee 5-1 in the morning and the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix 2-0 in the final. Sophomore midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka scored four goals on Sunday, including one penalty

kick in each game, netting two in the morning against the Panthers and two more against the Phoenix in the afternoon. With the departure of Calum Mallace, Ciesiulka will spearhead the Golden Eagles’ attack. Scoring seven goals in two games on Sunday, that attack looked as potent as ever. “This whole spring for me was trying to be dangerous and putting myself in positions to score and assist,” Ciesiulka said. “My teammates today just put the balls on platters for me. We played well, and they were good goals.” Keeping the ball out of their own net has been a bit of a problem. Sophomore defender Paul Dillon, who played every minute in the fall, noted the goals they conceded came toward the start or finish of games. Dillon put that down to the constant rotation of players throughout the spring. “We’re conceding goals either really late in games or in the first couple minutes of games, so it’s obviously frustrating,” Dillon said. “But that’s sort of a result of unfamiliar faces.” Last year was the first time the team truly put Bennett’s preferred style of play into practice. With their smooth, passing style the Golden Eagles took the

Big East by storm. While conceding goals, the Golden Eagles have still maintained plenty of possession time, and Bennett says goals scored against them are just part of the game. He said he thought it wouldn’t be a problem in August. “I was disappointed that we’ve given goals away in games that we’ve had over 75 percent of the possession, but soccer is like that,” Bennett said. “I was disappointed in that, and that we gave goals away late in the game.” While there may be some new faces on the team by the time next August rolls around, Bennett is confident in the core of his team at the moment. Bennett has built a certain style of play during his time at Marquette and believes it’s up to the experienced, established players to maintain the passing game the Golden Eagles wish to play. “Right through the spine,” Bennett said, “I think collectively Eric Pothast, Axel (Sjorberg), Ryan Robb, B (Ciesiulka), all the way up, are going to be important so we can maintain a style.” With the core of the team in place, Bennett’s Golden Eagles look poised to be contenders in the Big East again next fall.

Administration

Brundage brings Q & A with Larry Williams believes MU is recruiting acumen AD already destination Amplo no stranger to his assistant from playing days By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

The opportunity to start a new program and have complete control of the offensive game is what led assistant coach Stephen Brundage’s migration from Princeton to the men’s lacrosse team at Marquette. He had been working under the direction of coach Chris Bates at Drexel and Princeton for five years and accepted a new role with head coach Joe Amplo last May. With an up-and-coming program, not too many people are knocking on Marquette’s doors asking to play lacrosse just yet. As a result, Brundage hits the road or boards a flight every weekend to look for more players that could help the program make a name for itself early on. Amplo believes that one of the biggest strengths that Brundage brings to the table is his recruiting skills as a young, charismatic coach. “(Brundage) is not only excited to teach but to recruit as well. He’s got an eye for evaluating talent,” Amplo said. “He’s got a great personality and understands what a young man wants to get out of college. He’s got a unique ability to portray that to them.” Brundage learned how to recruit and coach at his first job with Drexel. His recruiting skills were put to the test in the Ivy League, where he was expected to bring in top talent with no scholarships and higher academic standards. Princeton is currently ranked tenth in the nation and sophomore Tom Schreiber has been a big part of their team. Brundage worked closely with him on offense to make him an all-conference player. He believes that in due time, he can do the same with some of

Marquette’s players. “I am very happy with where we are with recruiting right now. We are going up against some really good schools,” Brundage said. “We’re going to get some really good players, and I will have the opportunity to coach somebody that has the potential to be an all-conference kid.” Fellow assistant coach John Orsen is just as excited about the incoming players arriving in August. He has a positive outlook on what the team will looks like once it starts playing games. “It’s not going to be as scary as we first thought. I think the guys have really grasped what we’ve taught this spring,” Orsen said. “We’ve got some great athletes coming in, so we’re going to match up well.” Amplo and Brundage are no strangers to matching up against each other. They have stood across from each other on opposing sidelines, but now share the same team. Amplo and Brundage have worked well and bonded in their first year together, but they still share laughs from their days as rivals. “(Playing and coaching against Amplo) was great, because I was usually winning,” Brundage said. “I think my record while playing at Loyola was 3-1. While at Drexel and Princeton, we may have split. Coach Amplo and I didn’t know each other personally, but we always respected the other because we’d always been going at it.” There’s no telling how the next few years will play out, but Amplo believes he will always have the last laugh. “(Brundage) thinks he has the upper hand. However, his success in the score column is nowhere near to my success in the amount of playoff games that we’ve played in,” Amplo said. “He has different levels of evaluating success.”

in basketball world

By Michael Wottreng michael.wottreng@marquette.edu

When former athletic director Steve Cottingham resigned in June, the Marquette athletic department looked like it was on the verge of collapse amid sexual assault allegations. The school needed to find someone that could rebuild Marquette’s image. Enter Larry Williams, a former Notre Dame football standout who played five years in the NFL. The Tribune asked Williams some questions via e-mail to learn more about his first semester at Marquette. Q: How was your first semester at Marquette? What went better than expected? What needs the most work? A: My first semester at Marquette has been great. The enthusiasm that the community has for the university, especially for its men’s basketball program, is something special. I am excited to help identify and pursue a clear path that will allow Marquette to be viewed as the premier non-football-playing athletic program in the country, one that is firmly committed to the university’s core values and celebrates its rich history. Q: How does your experience

as a former athlete help you in this role? A: My experience as an athlete informs every decision I make because Marquette athletics is ultimately about the full development of each of our student athletes. I was fortunate to have a broad and deep experience as an athlete, with exposure to great and lessthan-great coaches and administrations, and great and less-thangreat success formulas. So with every decision I make, I ask, based on my experience, what’s in the best interest of the development of our student athletes? Q: For a school that relies heavily on the men’s basketball program, how will you ensure the other sports get their due? A: Amassing and channeling resources is an enormous challenge. Maximization of the resources that can be generated through men’s basketball is certainly important as some of those resources can be redirected. However, we must also be diligent about being creative in regards to revenue generation opportunities in other programs and cost containment. Q: How will you make sure Marquette has its say in the conference realignment discussions? A: It is imperative that Marquette remain elite in men’s basketball, but also Marquette must be able to demonstrate broad-based success, in order to have a voice and place in whatever

the new world of conference alignment becomes. Q: College basketball coaches rarely stay at one place for more than a few years before seeking a better opportunity. How will you ensure Marquette is destination rather than a stepping stone? A: Marquette is already a destination in the world of college basketball. The investment that the university makes in the enterprise, the support that the community demonstrates for the program and the rich history and core values that underpin the university absolutely make it a uniquely desirable place in the landscape of college athletics. As long as those elements are maintained, the coaching world knows that remarkable student athletes can be formed here and national championships can be won here. Q: What are your top priorities for summer getting prepared for your first full season? A: My top priority is to finish a clear plan of action that we will take in athletics to ensure ultimately that our student athletes are formed in ways that will allow them to make the world a better place. Along the way, we will also enjoy tremendous success. Athletics is unique in its opportunity to teach remarkable skills.

Sports History

The prestigious collegiate career of Marquette golfer Mike Van Sickle was coming to an end around this time of the year in 2008. Van Sickle was named Big East Player of the Year on April 30, 2008, while his teammate and fellow senior Dustin Schwab was also named to the 2009 Men’s All-Big East Team. Named Big East Golfer of the Week three times during the regular season, Van Sickle had the most successful individual season in the program’s history. Before playing in the NCAA Tournament in early May, Van

Sickle led the entire nation in scoring average (69.67), birdies (160), sub-par strokes per round (5.33) and par-4 scoring (3.96). Schwab averaged an impressive 74.13 for the season, tied for the ninth best single-season average in the program’s history. His 75.51 career average also ranked him in the top-10 all-time at Marquette. In 2008, the duo led Marquette to a victory at the 2008 Big East Conference Men’s Golf Championship, which led to the program’s first birth in the NCAA Tournament. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

weather it was hard to pull it all together,” Kusowski said. “Having all your friends around you really makes you want to throw farther. I’m definitely trying to hammer out some kinks. It felt like practice being at home, but I tried to take it like every other week.” Rogers said the rare home meet was a nice opportunity for his athletes, especially the seniors, to play in front of their friends, families and teachers. Rogers was especially impressed with Kusowski’s throw and said he thinks it bodes well for Marquette heading into the conference championships. “We should really be able to compete well in a number of events,” Rogers said. “Some of our guys, like (senior) Tyler O’Brien have been getting it done year-in and year-out and we are looking to finish towards the top in several big events.”
