InterVarsity gets put on probation Christian group found in violation of own procedures By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Marquette’s InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is now on probation after being accused of asking one of its former officers to step down due to his sexual orientation. However, the organization maintains that the student was asked to forgo his positions because of his views against celibacy, which opposes the group’s beliefs. On Aug. 5, Stephanie Quade, dean of students in the Office of Student Development, made a final, amended decision regarding what was at first a discrimination and harassment case against InterVarsity Christian Fellowship but has since been reduced solely to a discrimination case. The complaint was made by a former officer who was dismissed shortly after revealing his sexuality. The organization contradicts this statement, saying it was not related to the student’s sexual orientation, but rather the refusal to practice celibacy -- a crucial principle for the group. InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

is a Christian organization on campus that “focuses on community, Bible study and reaching out to the campus to share the love of Jesus Christ our Lord,” according to its website. The organization would not be suspended for discrimination in the dismissing of an officer, but would be put on probation for a year for violating the procedures stated in their constitution. The initial verdict suspended the organization and found it guilty of discrimination against the former officer. But after an appeal, the organization was put on probation which “results from a finding that the chapter violated its own policies and procedures,” said Kate Venne, director of university communication, in an e-mail. The student, who asked to remain anonymous, was dismissed as an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship officer in August 2010 after expressing his sexual orientation and revealing in a conversation with Jen Wojtysiak, advisor for the group, that he was in a same-sex relationship. The Marquette student was encouraged to make a complaint with the Office of Student Development after speaking with his academic advisor Amelia Zurcher and becoming involved in the LGBTQ See InterVarsity, page 6

When admitted students sent in housing deposits last May, the last thing they expected to receive back was a letter about ‘temporary housing.’ However, that was exactly the case for some. Dr. James McMahon, assistant vice president and dean of Residence Life said as a result of housing assignments this past summer, eight percent of freshmen and 44 percent of transfer students found themselves without permanent residency for the onset of the school year. In McCormick Hall, 23 students are temporarily housed in renovated floor lounges. Study

lounges in Abbottsford and O’Donnell Halls were converted to permanent living spaces, which now accommodate an additional 34 students. McMahon also said some students are temporarily assigned to university-owned apartments, with the option to stay and sign a lease. Danielle Colletti, a sophomore transfer student in the College of Arts and Sciences from the University of Iowa, was placed in a McCormick quad with other transfers. Colletti said the Office of Residence Life notified her of the temporary housing status and the names of her roommates in late summer. She said she was initially uncomfortable living in a freshman dorm, but has grown to appreciate the quad. “We wish we could stay here for a semester,” Colletti said. “It See Housing, page 6

Marquette gets “Zaarly-ed” Alumnus brings online shop to MU campus By Pat Simonaitis patrick.simonaitis@marquette.edu

Growing marketplace website Zaarly.com could soon be a onestop shop for local students - at least according to its co-founder, a Marquette alumnus. Eric Koester, chief operating officer of the company and a 1999 graduate of the College of Business Administration, joined with co-founder and entrepreneur Bo Fishback and actor and investor Ashton Kutcher to launch the site, which mixes elements of Facebook and eBay. Founded in May of this year, the site displays a Google-like map of a user’s location with pinpoints they can scroll over with their mouse. These pinpoints are at locations where someone wants something and display the price they are willing to pay to get it. The pinpoints also list the length of time the buyer is willing to wait. If someone has the item the person is looking for, they can follow a link labeled, “I’ve Got That!” and get in touch with the potential buyer. The seller and the recipient then discuss their terms and proceed with either a credit card or cash transaction. Around the Marquette campus,

for example, there are currently nine people waiting to be “Zaarlyed” for various items. These items range from mundane (an Intro to Theology book for $20) to slightly more expensive (a Sprint Android phone for $100) to outright bizarre (a picture of a daisy riding a scooter for $20). Two Zaarly requests that have been fulfilled at Marquette were a request for a stuffed walrus, which was supplied for $7 somewhere

near North 18th Street and West Kilbourn Avenue and the request for a desk to be built for $30. As a whole, Zaarly.com has facilitated more than $3.5 million dollars of transactions since it began in May. There are now more than 50,000 users nationwide.

The Franklin, Wis.-based Priests of the Sacred Heart group appeared in front of Milwaukee Area Review Board.

Catholic official finds no truth in abuse allegations By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Two priests at the nearby, Franklin, Wis.-based Priests of the Sacred Heart were recently cleared of sexual abuse allegations by Father Tom Cassidy, provincial superior of the Catholic U.S. Province. Civil charges are still pending. Fathers William Pitcavage and Thomas Lind were among several priests accused of inappropriate behavior with minors at a South Dakota school in the 1970s. Cassidy said in an e-mail that authorities did not issue criminal charges, but civil litigation is now before the Superior Court of South Dakota on a motion to dismiss. The official decision was made by Cassidy, but not without thorough investigation and thought, he said. Amy Peterson, spokesperson for Priests of the Sacred Heart, said sexual assault allegations are not taken lightly. In 2002, a doctrine called “Instruments of Hope and Healing” was developed by the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, an organization comprising all male Catholic religious communities in the continental

United States designed to assist in the protection of youth and abuse. As a statute, Peterson said each chapter of Priests of the Sacred Heart must have a review board. The Milwaukee Area Review Board assisted in the allegations against Pitcavage and Lind. “The review board acts like an advisor,” Peterson said. “We cannot make decisions - that is the provincial’s job - but we help compile the evidence, look at it and then present it to the provincial and suggest what should be done. The provincial then says whether it can be substantiated or not.” Cassidy also stressed the importance and involvement of the review board. “When there are allegations of alleged abuse, the Priests of the Sacred Heart, as are other religious communities, are bound by the directives of Praesidum (a Catholic legislative body),” Cassidy said. “Use of a review board is one of those directives.” “(My conclusions) were that the allegations against these two men were neither credible nor established,” Cassidy continued. “Because of this, it was also my conclusion that these two men should be returned to public ministry. This is what I said to the Milwaukee Area Review Board. The board then stated in writing that it was ‘comfortable with the conclusions presented.’”

Cassidy said the review board is another step that he and other religious superiors and bishops like to take in order to better ensure the safety of children and adults when such sexual accusations are made. Peterson clarified that review boards as well as provincials are not allowed to go against law enforcement; only if law enforcement cannot prosecute can the review board begin an internal investigation. The Milwaukee Area Review Board began its internal investigation with a private, retired Milwaukee Police Department officer to help investigate, as well as independent psychological assessments, Peterson said. Through this evidence, Cassidy said, he made his executive decision. Cassidy said he knows all members of Priests of the Sacred Heart, but did not let that cloud his decision. “I feel that my conclusions were based on an excellent investigative process,” he said.

Students retaliate in robberies Which one is

Students can take safety into their own hands with the Department of Public Safety’s upcoming defense classes.

Some students go against DPS recommendations By Ben Stanley benjamin.stanley@marquette.edu

Marquette has seen an increase in armed robberies in recent months, with nine reported since

July 1, and four of those occurring in the past six days. In some of those incidents, students were able to successfully fend off their assailants. But Department of Public Safety Captain Russell Shaw said he does not recommend other students try the same thing. “You can replace your property, but you can’t replace your life,” Shaw said. “It is certainly

much safer to just turn over your property.” According to the DPS webpage, if someone demands property from a student, the student should give what is demanded and then contact either DPS or Milwaukee Police Department immediately. Of the July assaults, two different students retaliated against their assailants and were able to

escape without injury. In the first, which occurred near 17th Street and Kilbourn Avenue on July 10, according to a public safety alert released afterwards, a student punched his way through two unarmed males who tried to hit him and reach into his pockets. After escaping, he flagged down a MPD squad car. A similar incident occurred on July 27 around 1:30 a.m., according to Shaw. A person who was not affiliated with Marquette, but temporarily living on campus, fended off four muggers who possessed a Taser. Though it is recommended to never resist during an armed robbery, DPS teaches defense skills that will help in threatening situations. Shaw said the university offers self-defense classes through DPS, but they are more focused on avoiding abduction and creating distance in potentially threatening situations, not resisting muggers. The first DPS self-defense class this semester will be held in the Alumni Memorial Union on Sept. 15. Amanda Lievre, a junior in the College of Business Administration, said she took a self-defense course at Marquette during her freshman year. Although she took the class, she said she still doesn’t feel prepared and would not fight back if confronted. Tom Peirick, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, however, felt differently. “I would try to fight them off because it’s my right to,” he said. “If they had a knife I’d fight back, but if they had a gun, I probably wouldn’t.”

Irene wreaks her havoc Senate starts year East Coast storm causes flooding and power outages By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

Hurricane Irene hit the East Coast last weekend, causing extensive property damages, closing of schools and businesses and leaving more than 400,000 citizens without power. According to current estimates, more than 21 people in eight states have died as a result of the storm. The Category 1 hurricane began to pummel the U.S. when it made landfall in Cape Lookout, N.C. on Saturday. CBS News reported it was the first storm to attack U.S. mainland since Hurricane Ike hit Texas in 2008. Zbiginew Sorbjan, a physics professor in the College of Arts

Student fakes coming from overseas

Chicago police intercept 1,700 counterfeit IDs By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

Fake IDs have been an element of college life for decades, whether students use them or not. But counterfeit IDs for students under 21 are now more accessible than ever, with new overseas websites getting in on the action. More than 1,700 fake IDs from China have been intercepted in the Chicago area in

you have something in your teeth.

the first half of 2011, and the Cook County Sheriff’s office has arrested over 40 people as a result of the seizure. Cook County Deputy Sheriff Edward Bianchi said the intercepted IDs were “perfect,” and that the counterfeit IDs were smuggled into Chicago under games, cheap jewelry and other items. The recent availability of fake IDs has Robert Krystowiak, a Department of Public Safety officer, worried about them spreading around campus. “It appears to be so easy to order fake IDs online that the number has definitely increased and also the quality has absolutely increased,” Krystowiak said.

Erin Lazzar, assistant dean of students, said more students caught with fake IDs are saying they purchased their ID online rather than buying them on campus or using an older sibling’s ID. She said last year the Office of Student Development had 60 cases involving counterfeit IDs. Krystowiak said one of the dangers of buying fake IDs from websites is that students are exposing themselves to possible identity theft when sending their names, pictures and signatures to these websites. Krystowiak also said DPS officers receive training to see the small differences, but are not allowed to disclose what

differences they look for because the information is law enforcement sensitive. There is no statutory punishment for having, using or selling fake IDs, but rather a spectrum, Lazzar said. The spectrum ranges from a warning to being asked to leave the university. Krystowiak said the Milwaukee Police Department has handed out no municipal citations at this time, only criminal charges with the state of Wisconsin, but added that this might change in the future. Phillip Alioto, supervisor of the fraud detection and prevention unit at the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles, said

DPS officers are being trained to notice subtle differences between real and false identification cards, taking advantage of counterfeiters’ inadequacies.

there are dozens of security features on the Wisconsin state driver’s license and state ID cards that counterfeiters have not been able to duplicate. For example, he said the Wisconsin driver’s license and state ID cards have two scallions on them that can be seen when the opaque license is held up to light — something counterfeiters have not been able to reproduce. He said the print quality of the counterfeit IDs do not match that of an authentic ID, but do a good job replicating the plastic laminate overlay with the state UV seal. Alioto said he shares information with law enforcement agencies as well as businesses to inform them on the security features and how to spot counterfeit IDs. All first year students at Marquette are required to complete AlcoholEdu, an online alcohol education tool administered by Outside the Classroom. But the course does not deal directly with fake IDs, said Sara Johnson, coordinator of alcohol programs in OSD. “The presence of false IDs in the collegiate community will always be a concern,” Johnson said. “However, I would challenge that the greater concern is the level of high-risk drinking behaviors exhibited by students in the Marquette community, namely the behaviors of pregaming and engaging in drinking games.”

State childcare gets disciplined Opponents say policy should be on case-by-case basis By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

If Wisconsin child care advocates have anything to say about it, the recent policy change in the Wisconsin Shares program is not child’s play. The Walker administration’s recently-enacted changes mean child care subsidies for lowincome families are now tied to whether the children actually attend day care. The Wisconsin Shares program helps lowincome families pay for child care. In the Interim Report on Waste, Fraud and Abuse released in July, state officials said the changes will save about $4 million for the state. Representatives at the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families said the policy change should help cut waste and reduce fraud in the Wisconsin Shares program while ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently. The state budget repair bill approved in June gives the agency the authority to cut costs in the Wisconsin Shares program by adjusting child care payments, implementing a waiting list, increasing co-payments and adjusting eligibility levels. The policy change only applies to licensed child care providers, but local childcare advocates said the consequences will affect all involved in the

service. “Many parents simply cannot afford this extra cost, so they choose not to enroll in certified care. Currently they can find care in licensed homes, but with this rule change they may find they have no place to go,” said Bobbi Hibbard, president of the Wisconsin Family Child Care Association. Dave Edie, an early education policy analyst for the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, saw the policy change as another hit to licensed providers, who are already under a six-year freeze in payment from the state. “Child care providers in general have seen increased costs without seeing an increase in payment,” Edie said. “Most providers are now charged more (in operating costs) than the state is willing to pay.” “It just doesn’t make any sense to us,” he continued. “Public schools, Head Start (the federal education program for preschoolers from low-income families) and private child care providers would never operate this way.” In a letter to the secretary of the Department of Children and Families, members of the Wisconsin Early Learning Coalition expressed concern that the policy change does not allow for case-by-case adjustment of subsidies. Some children cannot attend daycare regularly because of illness or family issues, but their families will still lose child care benefits, Edie said. “We agree with the state in that if parents aren’t bringing their children to daycare,

taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for it,” Edie said. “But we feel the authorization for child care benefits should be adjusted only if there is a pattern of underuse.” Some Wisconsin residents are opposed to the policy change as well, even though it will mean less taxpayer money lost on chronically absent children. “Wisconsin is obviously in a tough spot financially speaking, but I don’t think cuts should come in the area of childhood education and services. It’s just

too important.” said Jessie Bazan, a sophomore in the College of Communication and resident of nearby Whitefish Bay, Wis. Edie said costs in the Wisconsin Shares program have dropped significantly prior to the policy change due to the economic downturn. Still, he is worried the state will continue to make cuts to the child care program. “We are worried that the next step will be to do this to child care centers in Wisconsin,” he said.

wouldn’t be part of this organization if I believed they discriminated against a certain group.” Quade, also the student conduct administer, determined a hearing was necessary and that the student group was informed of what “elements of the code of conduct were violated,” Quade said in an e-mail. The student said he had a second meeting with Wojtysiak and Ryan Lospaluto, second advisor for Intervarsity, where he was questioned about his viewpoint on celibacy in July 2010. He said going into the meeting, he felt a level of trust with the advisors. Instead, he left feeling like he walked into a trap. “They asked me if I believed in celibacy and I said ‘no,’” the student said. “To me there is no place for celibacy in the Bible. There is no recognition of my sexuality so celibacy does not play a role in my

Hofmann also said the site has received its fair share of lewd content being requested, but this content is filtered out through a robust algorithm and site moderators. One minor glitch with Zaarly was reported by TechCrunch.com on July 25, stating that users’ phone numbers and private messages had become available for the public to see. The article also reported Fishback, the co-founder, saying the bug was fixed within 15 minutes of the company becoming aware of it — about a week later. Hofmann said security issues, especially those involving credit card numbers and personal information, are at the top of the administrators’ minds.

Summer is not over yet for MK E Keep autumn at bay with this warm-weather fun By Jennie Jorgensen jennifer.jorgensen@marquette.edu

The dog days are over. Pack up the flip-flops and bust out the textbooks. Kiss away the sun’s rays and prepare for the sting of Wisconsin’s winter. Forget about Summerfest and start planning for late nights at Raynor. The start of school doesn’t necessarily mean the end of all things fun in the city, though. Milwaukee has a sliver of summer spirit left, and now’s the time to savor the remainder of Cream City’s summer arts and entertainment scene. These sizzling summer events, festivals and markets extend through September or October, just enough time for some post-summer solace. Stay calm, cool and collected Jazz in the Park, a free outdoor music festival, takes place on Thursdays through Sept. 22 from 6 to 9 p.m. in Cathedral Square Park. The festival features a swinging lineup of jazz, big band, funk, R & B, reggae, blues and more. Each week, an average of 8,000 people bring blankets and chairs to picnic at the park and enjoy an evening of live entertainment from local, national and international musicians. Over 100 musicians each year submit their content to be considered for a spot on the Jazz in the Park lineup, said Kate Borders, executive director of East Town Association. With plenty of eager and musically talented artists to choose from, the association certainly has no trouble selecting the cream of the crop. Part of what makes the event such a success is its consistency in providing good entertainment, Borders said. “People don’t necessarily need to look up who’s playing on a given Thursday,” she said. “They can trust that whoever it is will be entertaining.” Guests are welcome to bring their own food and nonalcoholic beverages; however, the event features six on-site food vendors, including Louise’s, Rudy’s Mexican Restaurant, Flannery’s Bar and Restaurant and McGillycuddy’s Bar and Grill. Jazz in the Park takes place every Thursday in September from 6 to 9 p.m. at Cathedral Square Park, 825 N. Jefferson St. For more info, visit easttown.com/ events/jazz-in-the-park. Enjoy one last evening on the lakefront At dusk on select Fridays through Sept. 23, Point Fish Fry & a Flick offers free outdoor movies on a big screen literally on Milwaukee’s lakefront.

ten other local food vendors with dinner options under $5. Vendors include American Gyro, Haute Taco, Streetza Pizza and Cold Spoons Gelato. The event also offers specials on Stevens Point Brewery beer, as well as free beer tasting, said Andrew Nelson, public relations manager for the Pabst Theater. Alterra coffee and other refreshments are available for purchase as well. Beyond the food and drink specials, the event aims to bring the community together. One way it accomplishes this feat is with its bazaar: a mini, local flea market where patrons can purchase goods from five or six different local retailers and businesses at each event. The movie choices, schedule and prices intend to attract college students on their way back to school, Nelson said. “Milwaukee always is the greatest place in the world to be in the summertime,” Nelson said. “Most of the big festivals die off in August, so we wanted to create something we could extend further.” Point Fish Fry & a Flick takes place on select Fridays through September at Discovery World, 500 N. Harbor Dr. Free movies begin at dusk and all other events begin at 5 p.m. For more info, visit pointfishfryandaflick.com.

tribal farmers market, powwow competition, traditional Native American foods, Native American arts and crafts and a marketplace with over 100 vendors. Indian Summer aims to educate, preserve and promote American Indian cultures. In order to do so, the festival offers live demonstrations of traditional skills such as beadwork, finger weaving, bow and arrow making, basket weaving and more. In addition, the festival is closed to the general public during the day on Sept. 9 to allow kindergarten through sixth grade students and teachers to spend the day as part of a special educational program.

Brush up on your marketing Milwaukee’s farmer’s markets offer local and fresh produce, but also often offer local artists, designers, crafts, cooking demos and workshops, live music and entertainment, among other activities. Fondy Food Center, located on the north side, prides itself as the city’s largest market with more than 29 vendors and farmers, said Lisa Kingery, food and nutrition program director for Fondy. Known for its abundant local produce, Fondy is open four days a week, with “event day” on Saturdays. Produce that comes from 20

miles away as opposed to 2,000 is fresher and tastes that much better, said Kingery. But markets supply more than fresh food to put on your plate – they also offer a sense of community and eliminate grocery shopping as a chore. “People don’t just come to a market to grab their tomatoes and rush back home. They stick around for awhile. They get to know the farmers,” Kingery said. “There’s something very psychologically satisfying about knowing exactly where your tomatoes come from.” Fondy Food Center is located at 2200 W. Fond du Lac Ave. Open Saturdays 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Nov. 19 and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Oct. 30. For more info, visit fondymarket.org or call 414-933-8121.

Sobelman’s @Marquette short on school spirit Tasty burgers, bland atmosphere in joint’s new digs By Vanessa Harris vanessa.harris@marquette.edu

When Angelo’s Pizza Restaurant and Bar closed down last semester, it left a void in the hearts of many on Marquette’s campus and an empty building on the corner of 16th and Wells. With the start of a new year, that void has been filled. Sobelman’s @Marquette is finally open and ready to join the likes of other campus restaurants such as The Dogg Haus, Real Chili and Marquette Gyros. But while the food can definitely hang with other campus eateries, Sobelman’s @Marquette might not be the perfect 10 just yet. If it wasn’t for the giant blue and gold sign outside or the employee’s shirts that say Sobelman’s @Marquette, customers would have a hard time believing the place had any affiliation with campus. This new location lacks any noticeable Marquette spirit as far as décor goes. Matter of fact, nothing jumps out as Sobelmanish either. Sobelman’s Pub & Grill on St. Paul Avenue has its own flair, which makes it a fun place to eat. Sobelman’s @Marquette, is still lacking a lot of the charisma and charm that makes its predecessor such a big hit in Milwaukee. The inside looks like a medieval pub where a knight would take his damsel in distress on a date. The biggest concern is how dark it is in the restaurant. When

people think of burger joints, they normally don’t imagine sitting in poorly lit rooms. That is a bar scene, not a casual place to enjoy double cheeseburgers and jumbo fried shrimp. There are still remnants from Angelo’s everywhere. The large Angelo’s sign right outside the bathroom, along with its small quarters, flickering light, scratchy door and grandma kitchen tiles are the most obvious examples. Little things like this throw the ambience off. Fortunately, the food at Sobelman’s @Marquette is not as scary as its interior. In fact, it’s quite delicious. The menu is a little smaller, but essentially the same

as the one at Sobelman’s Pub & Grill. Popular items like the Sobelman Burger ($7.50), Loser Burger ($7.50), Sobel Fries ($5) and others are still available at the Marquette location. When you order a Sobelman’s burger, expect it to be a hardy one. Burgers and sandwiches come with a side of fries, so customers do get a respectable amount of food for the price. The aroma of a Sobelman’s burger is tasty on its own, but even something as ordinary as a cheeseburger ($5.50) melts in your mouth and smells sweet and savory all at once. In addition to the variety of burgers and sandwiches to choose from,

Sobelman’s @Marquette has 16 different appetizers which range in price from $5 to $8. Along with the food, the service at Sobelman’s @Marquette is as satisfying as the original. While waiting almost 20 minutes to be seated, a waiter brought out cheese balls and fried pickles for those in line. Regardless of whether or not it’s a common occurrence, the gesture was greatly appreciated and shows that the staff of Sobelman’s @Marquette is working to please their customers. Sobelman’s has already sold plenty of burgers, so the food is obviously not a problem. What’s going to make Sobelman’s

@Marquette a true Marquette experience and not a distant memory of past businesses is its appearance. The new addition to campus deserves some slack though. The food is delicious and works on the average college student’s budget. There is plenty of time for life (other than the customers) to be brought into the venue, but until then, Sobelman’s @Marquette is a decent alternative to wherever else you’ve been eating. Sobelman’s @Marquette is open 11a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Prices range from $5 to $9.25.

Made in Milwaukee a festival with local flair Event showcases area acts, brings city together By Liz McGovern elizabeth.mcgovern@marquette.edu

Milwaukee is known as the city of festivals. But during an outing to Summerfest or Festa Italiana, you are not likely to run into a zombie painter, modern dancers performing in the street, or an upand-coming movie director. Chances are you’ll encounter one of these characters at Made in Milwaukee. Made in Milwaukee (MiM) is coming back for its 10th year, and the festival is bigger than ever. Taking place Saturday, Sept. 3 in Cathedral Square Park from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., the festival celebrates all things Milwaukee. MiM showcases the area’s fashion, art, live music, film and dance with over 100 local vendors and a farmer’s market. Admission is free. Chuck Watson, MiM founder, came up with the idea of a festival to attract audiences for his hiphop bands’ shows. He wanted to integrate different genres of local music with hip-hop. The festival continued to grow throughout the past decade with the addition of different mediums of art. “I founded it over a beer with a friend. We did it to make shows a little more interesting and bring

different genres of music into a show,” Watson said. “It started with music, photography and paint. We then added fashion and dance. And now we have film.” The festival’s usual art forms are returning this year. Eight different local bands will be performing: The Tristan Royalty Squad, John the Savage, Group of the Altos, Trapper Schoepp and the Shades, Ethan Keller, Rae Cassidy, The Celebrated Workingman and a Milwaukee favorite, The Wildbirds. The 50 different food stands at the farmer’s market may grab the attention of area foodies. Alterra Coffee Roasters, Stone Creek Coffee Roasters, Adonyne Coffee Roasting Company and Valentine Coffee Co. are holding free coffee tastings. 50 different beers from 18 Wisconsin breweries will also be available, with tickets for the tasting $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Some visual artists, such as Timmy Kramp, a painter specializing in zombie portraits – yes, portraits of zombies – will be making reappearances, but there are many new artists joining the festival as well. The works showcased at the festival are all for sale, but while art is often pricey, these trendy decorations do not have to be expensive. “One of the great parts of the festival is how affordable art is. Here you can buy pieces for $10 or $20,” Watson said. Kristopher Pollard, an artist

who primarily creates abstract portraits, will be showing and selling his art at the festival. “I used to live in St. Louis,” Pollard said. “The art scene in Milwaukee is much bigger than in St. Louis. There are a lot of opportunities here.” Some artists are also taking the opportunity to go green at the festival, according to Jen Funk, art director of MiM. She said much of those greener artists’ work is

made from recycled products. On the cinematic side of things, the Milwaukee Film Festival, which has a regular spot at MiM, is screening festival film trailers at the event for the first time. Funk said it gives Milwaukee filmmakers a chance to display their work to the public before the Milwaukee Film Festival Sept. 22 to Oct. 2. “The trailers for the movies that we are showcasing are really

quite brilliant,” Funk said. Along with these films, DJs have matched local music to video compilations of the city and surroundings. Watson said these music videos are intended to present a series of ideas of Milwaukee and its community. “This is a unifying experience,” Watson said. “The more people focus on the city that they live in, the better city you have for everyone.”

ART Milwaukee makes a splash downtown Ten galleries feature local watercolor artists By Matt Mueller matthew.mueller@marquette.edu

When most people think about watercolor painting, they often flash back to childhood memories of sloshing watery paints on cheap plastic trays and creating incomprehensible kindergarten projects. The odds are good that these memories don’t also include swing dancing, cocktails and delicious cuisine. That may change after ART Milwaukee’s upcoming Watercolors on the Water. The free event takes place Thursday, Sept. 1 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the brand new 106seeboth lounge, 106 W.

Temporary housing needs a permanent solution n

MU e m h s Fre

For most incoming college freshmen, August means saying goodbye to home and embarking on a four-year journey of new opportunities, friends and experiences. Marquette is no exception. However, for some of those new students, their “home” upon arriving to campus is only temporary. This year’s incoming class was record-setting, comprised of 2,085 freshmen and 176 transfer students. According to Dr. James McMahon, assistant vice president and dean of residence life, only 92 percent of those freshman and 56 percent of those transfers were assigned to permanent residence hall space. To address the less-than-expected number of acceptance cancellations and higher number of transfer students, a plan was set in place to renovate lounges in three of campus’ nine residence halls. In McCormick Hall, 23 students — eight freshmen and 15 transfers — are temporarily housed in floor lounges that were converted into quad rooms. Both Abbottsford and O’Donnell Halls had similar renovations, but rather than being used as temporary space, 34 students permanently live there. Additionally, 12 students were assigned to university-owned apartments, with the option to stay and sign a lease rather than wait for space in the residence halls to open up. According to McMahon, the Office of Residence Life hopes that all students temporarily housed in McCormick will be moved into permanent housing within the next month. He said they are now identifying available space that opened after new students did not arrive on move-in day. Although the university is trying its best to fix the problem, there are some questions that arise regarding the solutions, and why the problem even occurred in the first place. Every university is responsible for “guesstimating” how many students will choose to enroll upon acceptance. In most cases, although it is disappointing to see a student decline admission, it also serves as a sigh of relief for the housing process. Fewer incoming students means fewer housing problems. More incoming students, as we’ve seen, means some individuals receive letters in July saying they have a place to live ... but not really. Not only would receiving such a letter crush an incoming freshman excited about heading off to college, but it also means their college experience — a transition that is hard enough already — is getting off to a particularly difficult start. On over the summer, some of those students discovered they would be rooming with sophomores, and a select few were even placed in apartments, surrounded by

upperclassmen, with far less chance to make initial friendships with others on their floor. This issue does not only affect the incoming students, though. What about the sophomores who were placed with freshmen in residence halls such as Mashuda Hall and Carpenter Tower? What about the transfer upperclassmen who were put in the same situation? Transfer students will have fewer opportunities to meet others their own age. Sophomores housed with freshmen could experience conflicts due to a “second-year, been-there-done-that” mentality versus a new college lifestyle. On another note, placing underclassmen in university-owned apartments only makes the already stressful housing process in October for juniors and seniors more difficult. Last year, university apartments unexpectedly ran out of space, and those with later selection time slots were forced to seek residence elsewhere for the upcoming school year. If those spaces were completely filled last year, why are there apartment units open now? It raises the question as to whether or not the buildings were truly full, or if it was another one of the university’s “guesstimation” techniques to prevent future problems, like the one that is occurring now. Separate from the effects temporary housing has on the students, cost efficiency for the university is also at risk. Once students are relocated and the temporary lounges in McCormick open up, those areas will need to be converted back to lounge space. The money that was spent to renovate them in the first place will be a waste, and even more will be spent to change them back. A more cost-efficient solution that would not only be better for current, but also future students, is the addition of a new residence hall. Past years have seen incredible new buildings such as Eckstein Hall and the Discovery Learning Complex. These are great achievements for the Marquette community, but they will also attract more students to the university — students who need space to live. With application and acceptance rates steadily rising, it is expected that next year will be no different — again with too many students, and again, with not enough dorm space. Whether it is a new residence hall built in the vacant lot on Wells Street across from the Al McGuire Center, or simply the university improving their skills in guesstimation, a permanent solution needs to be found. After all, Marquette students who pay over $40,000 a year deserve better than to be temporarily housed.

Women’s soccer

Strength starts with stellar backline Team has only given up one goal By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Despite the loss of four starters, including All-Big East forward Ashley Bares, the expectations for this year’s Marquette women’s soccer team remain extremely high. Bares, defender Lauren Thut, and midfielders Julia Victor and Rosie Malone-Povolny departed from a 2010 squad that went 16-53 overall, including 11-0-0 in Big East play, and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. This year’s strength is in the backline, particularly the four defenders and goalkeeper in coach Markus Roeders’ scheme. The backline is led by preseason All-American senior defender Kerry McBride, as well as reigning Big East Goalkeeper of the Year senior Natalie Kulla. “As a defense, we do pride our-

selves on not giving up goals and playing tough and backing each other up,” McBride said. The defensive strength has shown through in the first four games. As Marquette has allowed only one goal while beginning the season 4-0-0. Although Marquette went undefeated in league play last year, it was picked to finish second in the American Division of the Big East this year, behind West Virginia. The Golden Eagles travel to Morgantown, W.V., on Sept. 18 and host Notre Dame – the defending national champion, who was picked to finish first in the National Division of the Big East on – Sept. 25. “We always seem to do well as an underdog, so I don’t mind that people keep making us prove ourselves,” Kulla said. “With Notre Dame, it’s going to be great that we are going to play them in the regular season, and I think we are going to really compete this year.”

Aside from the marquee conference matchups, the Golden Eagles travel to No. 7/10 Florida State on Friday, to take on the team that ended their 2010 season, as well as traveling across town on Sept. 7 to face a No. 22/20 WisconsinMilwaukee team that is gaining national recognition with its 4-0-0 start to the season. One area that Marquette does not get enough recognition in is on offense, where it returns sophomore forward Maegan Kelly (18 points, 7 goals, 4 assists), an AllBig East Rookie Team member last year, as well as senior forward Rachael Sloan, who garnered AllBig East honors last year (16 points, 7 goals, 2 assists). Expect the Golden Eagles to pepper their opponents with plenty of shots on goal, having already sent 33 on net in four games (8.25 shots per game). Also expect those goals to come from a variety of different players. “For us to have multiple goal scorers, it’s great not to have to

rely on one person to score every game,” Roeders said. “They have the confidence that they can score and I believe that every player on the field can either provide an assist or score a goal at any time.” If there was any thought that such versatility could cause a problem with playing the right players at the right time, Roeders doesn’t see it.

“I don’t know what it’s going to be like (with playing time), but we don’t concern ourselves with who is starting and who is playing how many minutes,” Roeders said. “(Versatility) has been and will continue to be a strength of our program, and everybody buys into it.”

Column

Eric Schmidt There was a little kid from Tomball, Tex., who grew from a crack in concrete. He was abandoned when he was 13 years old. He was lost. He was found. He was raised by adoptive parents. He survived the streets. He graduated high school. He became a junior college All-American. He finally found his way to Marquette, where he was loved and accepted by the family he never truly had. He succeeded when no one thought he could.

Like some sort of modern Cinderella, the little kid from Tomball made it out alive. And he smiled. By now, former Marquette forward Jimmy Butler’s story is well documented. The lesson to be learned is this: It’s a tale that should have never been. And yet there he was on June 23rd, a living paradox: defiant, stubborn and willing to fight until the bitter end, listening to NBA Commissioner David Stern call his name on draft night; the 30th overall pick, the last selection of the first round to the Chicago Bulls. It was a fairytale ending to a fairytale life. Except the glass slipper was traded for a bouncing ball and a guaranteed contract. As a Chicagoan who bleeds Bulls crimson red — though by anatomical coincidence, I suppose most other people do too — this

was an instant frozen in time. I’ve covered Jimmy Butler for three years. I’ve sat next to him in class. I’ve interviewed him. More than any other sports moment in my life, this one felt the most personal, like by some miracle of association I helped push him toward his goal. I wanted to cry with him. I wanted to run to Texas and give him a big hug. I felt purely and utterly happy, which, I imagine, is how Eddy Curry feels whenever McDonald’s brings back the McRib. And if anyone deserves to succeed, it’s Butler. He’s always been this underdog story, even before his incredible, made-for-the-big-screen tale was revealed in the early parts of the summer.

Beyer given key leadership roles By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

A year ago, then-juniors Ciara Jones and Ashley Beyer and then-sophomore Dani Carlson stood in the shadows of AllAmerican seniors and team captains Nikki Klingsporn and Rabbecka Gonyo, patiently waiting for their time in the Marquette volleyball spotlight. It’s here. As the Golden Eagles (2-2) begin their quest for a Big East Championship and subsequent NCAA Tournament berth, the attention has turned to a dominant frontline, consisting of outside hitters Beyer and Jones, and a

force in the middle in Carlson. The fiery and ultra-competitive Jones and the quieter, leadby-example Carlson were named team captains at the beginning of the season, as voted on by the coaching staff. Head coach Bond Shymansky said both Jones and Carlson had what the staff was looking for in a team leader. “Their competitive character, their classroom character, their social character,” Shymansky said. “We look for someone who can be competitive day in and day out and knows to inspire players around them to be their best.” Carlson is making the most of her captainship, focusing on what she can do to improve others around her. “A lot of times, players think See Time, page 19

Defensive line frustrated after opening game Cleaning up simple mistakes vital for better performance By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu

Immature. Unorganized. Overly frustrated. Those were the words used by personnel on the Marquette men’s soccer team to describe the team’s season-opening 2-1 loss to Illinois-Chicago Saturday. Marquette started only three upperclassmen - two juniors and a senior - in addition to four freshmen. “It wasn’t inexperience necessarily in terms of playing, it may have been inexperience for the event,” coach Louis Bennett said. “We were a good team on Friday, and we were a good team on Sunday, but on Saturday we weren’t. “We were too frustrated. We needed a bit more maturity so we could keep frustration out of the equation. And you could tell it

was a day of frustration – frustration from the officials and frustration for us not being able to put the ball in the right place, and that’s an immature team.” Sophomore defenseman Paul Dillon didn’t see any difference in the performance of the underclassmen versus the upperclassmen to suggest that youth or inexperience were major factors Saturday. “As a unit we weren’t good or as prepared as we needed to be,” Dillon said. “I think a lot of players didn’t play their best individually which led to our team not playing well. I don’t see inexperience being a big thing. We just weren’t well prepared as a unit.” The defensive line consisted of two sophomores, Eric Pothast and Dillon, and two freshmen, Axel Sjoberg and Dennis Holowaty. “As a leader, I think it’s (junior goalkeeper David) Check, Axel and Pothast’s responsibility to be the leaders back there,” Bennett said. “I think Pothast was an average leader, but he played well. He was probably the most effective.

But he’ll need to be a great leader. And he knows that.” In their first college matches, Bennett thought Sjoberg and Holowaty needed to “play quicker” and “play with a sense of urgency.” The backline has to replace two senior starters from last year, Anthony Colaizzi and Matt Stummer. Stummer was the team captain and has to fill the void left from Michael Alfano, who’s recovering from a foot injury and is day-to-day. “It’s a little different,” Check said of the backline without Stummer. “Everyone’s starting to acclimate themselves well.” Check rated the defensive performance as “medium” after the opener. “At points we looked strong and at other points we looked disorganized and a little bit nervous,” Check said. “We made some silly mistakes in the back, things we normally don’t do.” What’s the key to improving? “It’s just fine tuning things and figuring out how game tendencies

work,” Check said. “I think we’ll have a solid back line all year. Just got to get past this first one.” If not for a few mix-ups, it could have been a different game. “As a unit we were tight in areas, but we just let a few simple mistakes get the best of us. UIC

converted on what they should have converted on,” Dillon said. “But we have to do a better job of not giving opponents full chances like that and just give them half chances. Essentially it was simple mistakes that bit us in the end.”

Last year he was caught cheating by the NCAA when he hosted a picnic for two recruits. To make matters worse, he lied to investigators about it. Big mistake. He was fired from Tennessee after the season and given a threeyear ban by the NCAA. Instead

men’s cross-country

Johnson, Senefeld tag-team leadership role Men trying to prove they are a top Big East team By A.W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu

Senior Blake Johnson pushed himself this summer to prepare for the year.

With training distances totaling around 60 to 90 miles a week, the men’s cross-country team prepares with a determination to be the best. But for senior captain and race leader Blake Johnson, coach Mike Nelson wants to take training to the next level. “Starting in junior year track, I began to push him more in workouts and make them longer,” Nelson said. “This summer I continued to increase his mileage, and I believe it will really pay off during the season.” Johnson agrees and said he expects even more from himself. “I have to mentally prepare for the race,” he said. “Visually, I imagine myself getting out to the front and not playing catch up. Get out the elbows, make sure you show them you belong.” With three of five runners from Marquette’s eighth-place finish at the Big East Championship tournament returning, expecta-

tions have increased. According to Nelson, the pressure is on to not only show that they belong but that Marquette has arrived to compete. “They’ve had a great summer of training,” Nelson said. “I am confident, but we are no longer a young, developing team – the time is now.” A key ingredient in the team’s immediate performance this season will be sophomore Jack Senefeld. Already a force in his first year, Senefeld’s season highlights included a freshman record and the seventh-fastest time in school history (2:28.98) in the 1,000-meter run at the Meyo Invitational on Feb. 6. This season, he is setting his goals even higher. “I would like to improve individually,” Senefeld said. “I hope to break into the top 25 in the Big East, along with keeping healthy for the regional line.” The team has steered clear of the injury bug so far, although they have been nervous about over-running. According to Nelson, the men put in early runs and organized team activities to stay in shape during downtime in training. He has been impressed by the team’s leadership. “It makes you feel good as a

coach when you come in and see the men working to be the best they can be,” Nelson said. Johnson, a former football player who only began crosscountry after junior year in high school, believes that his role is to lead by example. “I am a competitor who’s done his best, and people have taken notice,” Johnson said. “I am going to go out there and do things right and try to have a great year. Senefeld said he thinks his experiences last season have helped him become a voice on the team, and that he can work alongside Johnson. “I try to be a vocal leader of the team,” Senefeld said. “We have strong examples, but I believe we need someone with a voice, and I have risen to that role.” Off the trail, he is quite proud of the team’s academic performance, as both the Marquette men’s and women’s cross-country teams earned 2010 NCAA Division I All-Academic CrossCountry status. And if Senefeld has his way, next year will be even better. “I hope to improve on that,” he said. “We must keep that tradition going. It reflects so well on us and Marquette in general.”

Continued from page 16:

Tomball: Bullish overwhelmed, Butler always managed to persevere. There he was, this scrappy, wiry silhouette of elbows and energy, blue and gold jersey hanging like a sad, droopy smile on his body, throwing himself all over the court. Not a player with heaps of natural gifts, Butler’s greatest quality was his ability to consistently, persistently, be there. Where? There. Wherever he needed to be. He’s what you call a fill-in-theblanks player. If a teammate was getting killed on defense, Jimmy had him covered. If you needed rebounding, Jimmy snagged some boards. If you needed a clutch shot with time winding down, Jimmy was your guy. He never did what was best for him. He did what was necessary for everyone. But perhaps his biggest contri-

bution to a team that reached the Sweet 16 last year was as a muse. Butler was not only the team’s best player, but its inspiration. He was the passion, the heart and soul. His teammates looked at him and said, “If he can do it, why not us?” And so they did. And the little kid from Tomball smiled. Now Butler’s latest chapter in life is ready to write itself, this time as a Chicago Bull. And maybe this will be the end to the Cinderella story, the final page of the tall tale that should have been very short. Perhaps he’ll come and go quietly, just fade into obscurity like so many others. Or maybe the little kid from Tomball, who Marquette watched grow into a man, is only beginning his journey. Maybe Jimmy Butler has much more smiling to do. And when he does, I’ll be the first to smile back. eric.schmidt@marquette.edu

jump for joy!

Time: Beyer recovering from ankle injury about what they need to do,” Carlson said. “But now my focus is looking at what players are doing and what I need to do to get them out of their funk or capitalize on the things they’re doing well.” For Jones, it’s about communicating between the coaching staff and the rest of the group. “It’s a real privilege to be a captain for Bond (Shymansky), and for this it means we’re the middle man between the coaches and the team, making sure

everyone stays together and the coaches know what’s going on.” The two captains are working to overcome challenges of leading a group throughout an entire season and improving younger players, which Shymansky admitted takes time. As inspiring and vocal as the two are, however, their play on the court speaks for itself. Four games into the season, Carlson has led the team in points twice with Jones and Beyer each leading once. Mov-

ing inside to middle hitter, Carlson has an impressive .323 hit percentage and ranks second on the team with 43 kills, two less than Jones. Not to be forgotten is Beyer, who a year ago led the Golden Eagles in kills, points and service aces. An ankle injury has slowed the outside hitter through the season’s first week, but she will play a major role in the Golden Eagles’ success. In particular, Shymansky said Beyer’s tempo and Jones’

relentless power make for a lethal combination on the outside. “When Beyer is passing, serving, hitting smart and owning the rhythm of the game, and Jones is burying the ball and owning the momentum of the game, they are really unstoppable as a pair,” Shymansky said. Carlson added that when the front row is in control, they are “explosive.” Jones noted that any combination of the three set up difficult matchup problems for the opponent.

Shymansky believes his three attackers can earn All-Big East Conference honors in 2011, citing their on-court ability, passion and leadership that has culminated into a “now-or-never” mentality. The time is now for Jones, Carlson and Beyer, and all signs point to the trio thriving in their roles, with all shadows now behind them as they take center stage for the Golden Eagles.

Senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer has not gotten off to the start she hoped for, but a full recovery should improve stats. Beyer led the team in kills, points and service aces last season.

Team expects to knock it out of the park Season begins Sept. 16 against UW-Eau Claire By Trey Killian

robert.killian@marquette.edu

While the Milwaukee Brewers’ season pushes towards its conclusion and captivates many on Marquette’s campus, the season is just beginning for one group of baseball-loving students: the

Marquette club baseball team. Marquette’s club baseball team uses the fall to tune up and prepare for its spring season by taking on different NCAA Division III and club programs including rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee and even international opponents like Lakehead University out of Ontario, Canada. At the end of the fall, the Golden Eagles, who play at the Division I club level, will put their nine best on the field and start

their quest for a conference title in the spring. Despite the departure of senior All-American third baseman Dan Riedel, most of a starting lineup that finished second in the Great Lakes Conference last season is back. “Madison and Milwaukee are always good teams that are always contending with us,” sophomore pitcher Tom West said. “But we’ve got a good core of seniors coming back that can lead us to a title.” Senior catcher and team captain Jordan Clark along with senior second baseman Ian Yakob and shortstop David Cushwa power Marquette’s offense. Clark led the team in plate appearances with 71 and batted .322 with 10 RBI (in 18 games). Yakob and Cushwa each picked up 18 hits and combined for 28 runs. Junior Dan Walker, a second team All-Great Lakes West region selection last season, anchors the

pitching staff. Clark described Walker, as a “hard-throwing lefty with a good breaking ball who commands the zone well and has gained the respect of a lot of guys.” Aside from home games at Rainbow Park (located on 700 S. 119th St. in West Allis, Wis.,) the team travels throughout the state and takes part in an annual fall tournament in Madison, Wis. “In the fall we really look forward to our Madison tournament where we get to compete against some of the teams in the multiple divisions to see where we stack up against the competition early in the fall,” Clark said. “Madison is really the team we look forward to most of all because it usually comes down to either us or them in the conference final.” Madison and Milwaukee are not the only in-state teams Marquette enjoys battling with. “Everyone on the team always enjoys the Wisconsin-Eau Claire

trip and we usually win,” Cushwa said. “We also are looking forward to putting a whipping on UWM.” According to Cushwa, the overall culture surrounding Marquette club baseball is what sets it apart from other club sports. “It’s always fun but serious when it needs to be and everybody shows up,” Cushwa said. “For me it’s another group of friends besides the people I live with.” Though this collection of Marquette athletes may not play under the bright lights of Miller Park, their love of the game inspired them to play during their college years. “Club baseball is a way for people to have fun and enjoy the game they play,” Clark said. “It gives a lot of high school players that would have gone to bigger baseball programs (and sat on the bench) a chance to keep playing.”
