A steel piece recovered from the attacks in New York City will go to the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center.

Steel piece to be permanent part of memorial center

By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

While events commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks happened around the Milwaukee area this weekend, one of them brought a piece of history home for residents of the city.

Last Thursday, a piece of steel from the wreckage of the Sept.

11 attacks was brought from

New York and placed in the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center, where it will stay as a permanent part of the Memorial.

According to Jack Christianson, Milwaukee’s deputy fire chief, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has been giving pieces of the wreckage to sites across the country. Executives at the War Memorial applied to receive the artifact, and the application was approved earlier this year.

The piece of steel is approximately seven feet long, covered in rust and still has nails and concrete attached on one side. It was transported from New York to Wisconsin by volunteers who

used their vehicle to make the trip.

The artifact was escorted to the War Memorial Thursday morning, Sept. 8, by a crowd of law enforcement officials and public servants, including police and firemen.

Christianson said it was memorable for the fire department to participate in the transportation of the wreckage. He added that the Milwaukee Fire Department became involved to honor those from New York Police Department who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Student ID voter stickers now poll ready Wisc. colleges able to put special voting item on cards

By Pat Simonaitis patrick.simonaitis@marquette.edu

A new policy adopted Monday by the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board (WGAB) now allows area colleges and universities to put a sticker on student ID cards for voting in elections.

The change comes after the May passage of a voter ID law

requiring state voters to present a valid driver’s license, state ID card, passport or military ID card in order to vote.

Supporters said the law, which takes effect next year, was a step toward reducing voter fraud.

The WGAB is a committee in charge of overseeing Wisconsin’s campaign finance, elections, ethics and lobbying laws.

Calls to the group were not returned.

According to the resolution adopted Monday, the board realized the original requirements for a student ID to be used as voter identification were met by

virtually none of Wisconsin’s colleges or universities.

Under the new policy, IDs with stickers bearing a university logo, issuance date, student’s signature and an expiration date can be presented with proof of enrollment for elections.

Student IDs must be from an accredited college or university offering an associates degree or higher. The sticker policy does not include technical college students, who will not be able to use a modified student ID.

Bike ride held to raise money for churches Annual fundraiser benefits ministries serving the poor

By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Photo by Emily Waller/emily.waller@marquette.edu

A bicyclist participates in the fourth annual Outreach to Hope Family Bike Ride held to benefit a number of churches and ministries in Wisconsin.

The fourth annual Outreach for Hope Family Bike Ride took place Saturday to help raise proceeds to benefit Outreach for Hope Ministries.

Outreach for Hope works in correlation with the Greater Milwaukee Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in an attempt to help ministries serve the poor.

This year the fundraiser raised approximately $21,000 according to Nic Bur, the fundraising chair for the event.

“The money raised will be matched by several organizations,” Bur said. “We raised $60,000 last year and have a current total of $42,000 if you include the matched donations.

We are well on our way to passing last year’s donations.”

The donations will go to 22 churches and ministries working in communities of poverty in southeastern Wisconsin. Those 22 churches are primarily in

Milwaukee but extend to Racine and Kenosha.

Rev. Jim Bickel, executive director of Outreach for Hope, said each of the 22 churches receives a certain amount of money based on a grant form they submitted to the organization.

“The goal is to help people in poverty,” Bickel said. “We want churches to be an anchor and people to know there is a partnership between the people, community and churches.”

Churches and ministries who receive donations are ones who have a long-term plan.

Bickel explained the decision process is based on how much money the church or ministry has received in the past and what type of program they are trying to instill, as well as how much money they receive from other organizations.

“Our motto is ‘We walk with people of poverty,’ and we try to do that each and everyday,” Bickel said. “Donations are just one way that we help others— we encourage people from other churches in the synod to help Outreach for Hope churches.”

With nearly 200 volunteers and bikers, the event kicked off at 8:30 a.m. with a road trail for the more serious bikers, and at 9:30 a.m. with a trail ride for

families and the more leisurely riders.

The fundraiser took place at Cory Park in Dousman, Wis. There was also a picnic following the ride for those who have benefitted from Outreach for Hope.

“It is good to have people from the churches there to provide personal testimony and explain how Outreach has helped them,” Bur said.

One church Bickel mentioned was Cross Lutheran Church, located at 1821 N. 16th St. “This church has the Bread of Healing Clinic where medical and dental care is provided to those who need it in the community,” Bickel said. “These are the kinds of programs we aspire to keep going.”

In addition to the Bread of Healing Clinic, Cross Lutheran Church serves a meal on Wednesdays with a worship service. Over 100 people usually attend, Bickel said.

The Outreach for Hope Family Bike Ride occurs every year on the first Saturday after Labor Day. Outreach accepts donations year round, but any donations received until the end of the month will be matched by surrounding businesses such as Thrivent Financial.

Teach for America hopeful in final interviews Student vies for spot in national education program

By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

Every year, thousands of recent college graduates apply to Teach for America and dedicate themselves to improving underachieving schools nationwide.

Their placement directly combats the higher rates of teacher layoffs and budget cuts such schools face.

Kayla Murphy, a senior in the College of Health Sciences and the Teach for America campus campaign coordinator for Marquette, has made it to the final round of interviews and is passionate about the group’s social justice mission. She said one does not have to go too far to see the educational gap that the program focuses on.

“We have all made it to college and have plans for the future,” Murphy said. “But once you walk off this campus, you realize not everyone lives the life we live.”

She believes programs like Teach for America and City Year — a program designed to

solve the dropout crisis through a year’s worth of tutoring and mentoring — help solve problems regarding education inequity.

She recalled a situation where some students in an eighthgrade classroom were reading on fourth- and fifth-grade levels but improved in one year. She believes the improvement was due to corps member dedication.

“By the time Teach for America corps members left, students not only met their grade level, but they surpassed it,” Murphy said.

Helen Hillis, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences and also a campus coordinator for the program, agreed. She has a long-standing family history of involvement with the program.

“My brothers were corps members in Chicago and Lake Village, Ark. — two different atmospheres solving the same problem,” Hillis said.

Though the word “teach” is in the title, one does not need to be an education major to apply.

In fact, there are non-education related areas in demand.

“Science and math are bigneed areas,” Murphy said. “Ask any principal and they’ll say

‘I need more math and science teachers.’”

Though there are other programs like it, Teach for America differs in that it is nationally known and members say it has the potential to solve socioeconomic problems.

Corps members, as they are called, receive the same rate of pay and benefits packages as professional teachers. The program also goes unaffected by a recently high number of teacher layoffs.

“Corps members are growing and our goal is to keep increasing,” Murphy said.

Although there are many benefits to participating in Teach for America, it is not the only option for someone who wants to get involved in the field of education.

Samantha Landry, a senior in the College of Communication is considering Teach for America, but is also thinking about teaching English in South Korea through a program called EPIK. The EPIK program runs through the Korean Ministry of Education and is designed to improve the English of students and teachers.

Perry fights off barbs in latest Republican debate Republican hopefuls jab Texan on Social Security stance

By Charles Babington Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Attacked from all sides by fellow Republicans, Texas Gov. Rick Perry softened his rhetoric if not his position on Social Security in a snarky presidential campaign debate Monday night.

He fended off assaults on his record creating jobs and requiring the vaccination of schoolgirls against a cancer-causing sexually transmitted virus.

Across a crackling two-hour debate, the front-runner in opinion polls gave little ground and frequently jabbed back, particularly at his chief rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

But the criticism of Perry kept coming — from Romney on Social Security, from Texas Rep. Ron Paul saying the governor had raised taxes, from Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Sen. Rick Santorum assailing his executive order to require Texas schoolgirls to get a STD vaccine.

It marked the first time in the summer debates that internal Republican differences dominated rather than a common eagerness to unseat Democratic

President Barack Obama.

Especially on Social Security.

“A program that’s been there 70 or 80 years, obviously we’re not going to take that away,” Perry said in the debate’s opening moments as Romney pressed him on his earlier statements questioning the constitutionality of Social Security and calling it a Ponzi scheme.

The Texas governor counter-attacked quickly, accusing Romney of “trying to scare seniors” with his own comments on a program that tens of millions of Americans — including millions in the debate state of Florida alone — rely on for part or all of their retirement income.

The eight rivals shared a debate stage for the second time in less than a week, a pace that marked a quickening in the campaign to choose a challenger to President Barack Obama in 2012. The encounter was sponsored by tea party groups — the conservative voters who propelled the GOP to victory in the 2010 congressional elections, and by CNN. There was no doubt which side the debate audience was on, though. Santorum drew loud applause when he said the current economy “would have to make a dramatic improvement just to be a disaster.”

The debate unfolded in the city where Republicans will gather next summer to bestow the party nomination on a

challenger to Obama.

But it soon became clear that the presidential hopefuls were not only eager to court support from the most conservative voters but were anxious not to offend seniors and others who depend on Social Security and Medicare.

None of the three who have gotten the most support so far this year — Perry, Romney and Bachmann — said they favored repealing the prescription drug benefit in Medicare, which has a large unfunded liability. Paul, asked the same question, turned his answer to a call for ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as ways to save money.

In the debate’s first few moments, Perry and Bachmann courted the support of tea party activists.

Bachmann said she had “brought the voice of the tea party to the United States Congress as a founder of the tea party caucus.”

Perry said he was glad to be at the debate with the Tea Party Express.

So much for the niceties.

Within minutes, Romney moved aggressively to press Perry on Social Security, saying the front-runner had previously called it a Ponzi Scheme, an absolute failure and unconstitutional.

Perry did not dispute the characterization. In his recent book he called the retirement income program an example of a

federal initiative that is “violently tossing aside any respect for our founding principles of federalism and limited government.”

Monday night, he said retirees and near-retirees are assured of receiving the benefits they’ve been promised — and should be — but changes are needed to make sure younger workers have any sort of benefit when they near retirement.

Romney wasn’t satisfied with that, quoting others as saying the Texas governor’s position on Social Security could spell defeat for the party as it tries to win the White House from Obama next year. Repeatedly, he pressed Perry to say whether he believes the program is unconstitutional. Just as insistently, Perry ducked.

Then he countered, quoting Romney as having said in his own book that if people did with their financing what had been done with Social Security receipts it would be a criminal offense.

“You’ve got to quote me correctly,” Romney responded.

“What I said was taking money out of the Social Security trust fund is criminal and it’s wrong.”

Social Security benefits are financed through a payroll tax that workers and their employers pay. According to the most recent independent forecasts, unless Congress enacts changes, benefits will have to be cut beginning in 2037.

Bachmann and Santorum were the aggressors when the topic turned to an executive order Perry signed in 2007 requiring the vaccination of Texas schoolgirls against STD. Bachmann, whose candidacy surged and then fell back in the polls in less than a month, said that “to have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat out wrong. That should never be done. It’s a violation of a liberty interest.”

Perry said, as he has before, that it was a mistake to issue an executive order on the issue, but he defended wanting to have the vaccinations take effect.

Bachman didn’t stop there.

She said that “a big drug company that made millions of dollars because of this mandate” also had made a campaign contribution to Perry in Texas.

“The company was Merck, and it was a $5,000 contribution that I had received from them.

I raise about $30 million. And if you’re saying that I can be bought for $5,000, I’m offended,” Perry retorted.

There was a brief letup in the crossfire when the subject of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke — no favorite of Republicans — came up.

Perry stood behind his recent comments that it would be treasonous if the Fed were printing money for political reasons.

Romney let it pass, as did the

First responders to 9/11 not at Sunday memorial Limited space forces exclusion of those first on the scene

By Katie Doherty kathleen.doherty@marquette.edu

The first responders on Sept.

11, 2001 were welcomed as heroes the day of the attacks.

Ten years later, New York City turned them away.

Due to space constraints, the first responders were not invited to this year’s Sept. 11 memorial at Ground Zero, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office confirmed.

Bloomberg spokesman Andrew Brent said in a statement that the annual memorial was for victims’ families, CNN reported.

Brent said the city is working to honor the first responders and other groups at different times and places.

But current and former first responders are unhappy about being excluded.

“I’m absolutely disgusted,” said retired New York Police Department officer Anthony Flammia, according to FOX News.

Flammia said the omission was “a total disrespect to the responders … it’s very easy for them to make the space for us.”

In addition to excluding the first responders from this year’s memorial, this service did not

specifically include clergy members or prayer.

Senior legal fellow Cathy Ruse of the Family Research Council, a non-profit advocacy group, and New York City councilman Fernando Cabrera delivered a petition with over 62,000 signatures to Bloomberg in an effort to allow first responders and clergy members to attend the memorial on Sept. 8, according to a Family Research Council press release.

“Banning religion from the memorial of this tragedy is, in fact, unnatural for America, and for Americans,” Ruse said in the release. “It’s hollow and strange. It feels like an attempt to scrub the history books of the importance that God and faith played on that day and afterwards, and even to rewrite our long-cherished tradition as a nation of elected officials including clergy and invoking God at every point of crisis.”

Bloomberg’s office said the first responders have not been invited to the nine previous memorial services either.

Morris Faitelewicz, a first responder and vice president of the Auxiliary Police Supervisors Benevolent Association, called that explanation “nonsense,” CNN reported. Faitelewicz said that while there are not usually formal invitations, the first responders have been able to attend all previous memorials by showing up.

Students also expressed strong opinions about the first

responders’ exclusion from the service.

Tess Quinlan, a sophomore in the College of Communication, lived in Montclair, N.J., on Sept. 11, 2001. Her church pastor’s brother, a New York City Fire Department fire chaplain, died in the attacks.

“You have to remember them, because if you don’t, then it

totally diminishes everything that they died for,” Quinlan said in a video interview.

Donnie Dwyer, a senior in the College of Communication, witnessed the attacks as a sixthgrader living in New York. “(We) as a country will strive (to) move on from that and remember all the firemen and all the people that worked there to

make a living,” Dwyer said in a video interview.

Anthony Allegretti, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said this was an insult to the first responders.

“That’s the most ridiculous thing you could do to the men who probably saved countless lives,” Allegretti said.

Americans move on, but remember Sept. 11 Terrorist attacks has lasting effect on US ten years later

By David Crarcy Associated Press National Writer

The momentous anniversary has come and gone, and the nation will move forward, as always. Yet to many Americans, the concept of “moving on” from Sept. 11 doesn’t make sense.

“This is going to be part of our consciousness, part of our soul, part of our history forever,” said Jeff Parness, a New York venture capitalist who lost one of his closest friends in the attacks 10 years ago. “I don’t think it’s anybody’s place to tell somebody else you’ve got to get over it.”

Preceded by months of buildup, Sunday’s 10th anniversary commemorations produced a remarkable nationwide sharing of sadness and determination — an occasion calling for solidarity at a time of wrenching political divisions.

Now it’s back to work, back to politicking and campaigning, back to worrying if and when the economy will right itself. Even New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose entire decade in office has been intertwined with 9/11, depicted the anniversary as “a time to rededicate ourselves to look forward.”

Across the Hudson River, at a service on the site where injured World Trade Center

evacuees were treated in 2001, Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy sounded a similar note.

“It’s important to remember and reflect,” Healy said. “It’s equally important to press on, to move on, to take care of today and tomorrow, but not to fixate on yesterday.”

However, Parness said the appropriate way to approach the future would be look back thoughtfully — and remember the positive responses that emerged in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.

“People ask me personally how I deal with 9/11, and I tell them, ‘I don’t.’ I choose to think about 9/12,” Parness said.

“I choose to think about what it was like as a New Yorker, for people in small towns all around the United States, people around the world, go out of their ways to be with us in our time of need. I choose to think about that spirit of kindness and humanity and volunteerism.”

Like many Americans, Parness was trying to rekindle that spirit over the weekend as he and other New York-based volunteers brought a tattered American flag recovered at Ground Zero to the tornadostricken city of Joplin, Mo. Hundreds of tornado survivors waited patiently in line for a chance to sew a stitch into the flag.

Altruism also was on Pam Harcarik’s mind as she wiped away tears in Hilliard, Ohio, while recounting her 9/11 experience and her approach to moving forward.

Harcarik, who works for the Ohio Emergency Management

Agency, was called to New York City to help oversee goods donated to the city after the attacks.

“One of the stupid things that gets to me is right around this time of year, the sky gets that blue, blue color that you saw in all the pictures…. I just hate this time of year,” she said.

Ten years on, she’s starting to feel better.

“I think you can try to get past it by trying to focus on all of the good things that came out of it — the camaraderie that we had, the people that you met that were incredible examples of humanity.”

The Rev. Michael Kinnamon, New York-based general secretary of the National Council of Churches, said he could understand the emotions of Americans who are wearying of 9/11 events.

“But as I looked at the commemorations, it was quite clear they were moving to those who had lost a loved one, or had been personally touched,” he said Monday. “It’s difficult to make a judgment about this issue at a distance, because people have been affected so differently.”

Moving forward, he said, America should reflect on lessons that it should have learned from 9/11 and do a better job of protecting civil liberties and reaching out to the Muslim community.

“I would hope we’ll move on and recover those key values,” he said.

Michael McDonough, an architect whose 9/11 memorial was dedicated Sunday in Bennington, Vt., said

Americans shouldn’t be in a hurry to consign Sept. 11 to the history books.

“In many respects, we’re still paying the price for that awful day,” he said. “Those of us who lived at the time of 9/11 have a responsibility to see to it that younger generations don’t forget, in the same way that we have remembered the significance of Pearl Harbor.”

Among those attending the dedication was Don Goodrich, 68, a Bennington lawyer whose son, Peter, was killed aboard one of the planes hijacked on 9/11.

“Will Sept. 11 be remembered? Of course it will — it’s a seminal event in our nation’s history,” Goodrich said. “But life changes. People move on.”

Inevitably, the pervasive media coverage of the anniversary made the events of 10 years ago all the more vivid in America’s collective memory.

“It’s been 10 years, but sometimes, it’s like yesterday,” said Steubenville, Ohio, policeman Eric Hart, who helped his Catholic church organize a Mass to honor 9/11 victims.

“Anytime you want to look at it you just go to the Internet or whatever, or it’s on TV,” he said. “It’s like, ‘Oh my God.’ You’re right back to it. You remember where you were or what happened, everything.”

At Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, former Army reservist Jerran Leber, 26, was on hand for a Freedom Walk commemorating the anniversary.

“I don’t think we can ever move on from it,” said Leber, of

Annapolis, Md. “I don’t think we should ever move on.”

He suggested simple ways to honor those who died without falling prey to fear or sadness.

“Just take time out of your day and stop and ponder how great it is to be an American.”

Harvey Schlossberg, a professor at St. John’s University and former director of psychological services with the New York City Police Department, said the concept of “moving on” from 9/11 is complicated because of the variety of ways that Americans were affected.

“It’s not only a personal loss for some people, it’s also about a loss of your personal freedom,” he said, referring to tighter security measures.

“We can say, ‘Get on with life,’” Schlossberg said. “But what makes this much more difficult is it also changed our way of life. We’re more afraid.

There’s a lack of trust and loss of independence.”

Patrick Bienvenue, 56, of Rockport, Maine, flew out of Boston’s Logan International Airport on a business trip Sunday in a deliberate effort to maintain his routine and not give in to any fear of terrorism.

“A show of strength and resilience by the people of our country is very important,” said Bienvenue, an executive for a real estate development and management company. “It’s moving on with your outlook and your attitude.

“Let’s get going. Isn’t that what makes this country great?

Our resilience, our drive to get up and work to change things.”

Meal plans altered Authors takes legal action New Anytime Meal over copyright infringement Plan required for underclassmen

By Tony Manno anthony.manno@marquette.edu

Freshmen and sophomores no longer see a menu of options when it comes to purchasing meal plans.

Starting this year, University Dining Services now requires underclassmen to purchase the Anytime Meal Plan.

Rick Arcuri, associate dean for administrative services, said the decision to change the meal plan was made after parents and students raised issue with managing the number of swipes throughout the semester of the previously offered meal plans.

“Students don’t have to worry about (conserving meals) anymore,” Arcuri said. “Dining is dining.”

The Anytime Meal Plan, which replaces the erstwhile block-125 and block-175 plans, allows for unlimited swipes to the traditional dining areas at McCormick, Cobeen and Straz Tower. Students will also be allowed to swipe once during each meal period at one of the 14 destination dining spots on campus.

Arcuri and Todd Vicker, executive director of the Alumni Memorial Union and auxillary services, acted as a tag team for Dining Services in making the decision to change plans after speaking with the Residence Hall Association, Marquette Student Government and the Dining Advisory Board.

In addition, the Anytime includes $50 worth of dining dollars. The block-125 and block-175 offered $150 and $100 in dining dollars, respectively.

Arcuri said dining dollars are not included in the price of the meal plan paid by the student.

Rather, their inclusion was a decision made by food service provider Sodexo after the university expressed the need for an incentive to make dining plans more attractive to students and staff.

Although the block option is no longer, one previous meal plan is still in existence, a reduced 50-meal plan that is offered to upperclassmen and university employees.

The Loyalty 50 plan has been around for several years, Vicker said. However, it does not include dining dollars.

According to Arcuri, interest in the Loyalty 50 plan saw sharp increases after its first couple of years as well as slighter jumps in the past year. Any university employee can purchase a Loyalty 50 plan for $350, although the bulk of purchases come from upperclassmen.

Currently, 518 people are signed up for voluntary meal plans, Arcuri said.

After observing the first weeks on the new plan, Arcuri said the number of swipes has increased from last year, with students eating smaller meals and swiping more often.

“The change seems to be going pretty well since people can come and go as they choose,” Arcuri said.

But while administration may be happy with the progress of the meal plan, the change has received a mixed bag of reviews from those on campus.

Matt Howard, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration who has had a meal plan the past two years, said students who may have chosen the cheaper block-125 option are at a disadvantage with the new Anytime plan.

“College is expensive as it is, and some people are struggling to pay for everything,” Howard said. “When you force them to pay more for the unlimited plan, it doesn’t seem fair to those who are already being squeezed to pay for everything.”

University of Wisconsin among those named in suit

By Larry Neumister Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Authors and authors’ groups in the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom sued the University of Michigan and four other universities Monday, seeking to stop the creation of online libraries made up of as many as 7 million copyright-protected books they say were scanned without authorization.

The Authors Guild, the Australian Society of Authors and the Union Des Ecrivaines et des Ecrivains Quebecois, or UNEQ, joined eight individual authors to file the copyright infringement lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan against Michigan, the University of California, the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University and Cornell University.

The lawsuit accuses the University of Michigan of creating a repository known as HathiTrust where unlimited downloads could be accessed by students and faculty members of so-called orphan works, which are out-of-print books whose writers could not be located.

The authors said they obtained from Google Inc. the

of this,” said Danièle Simpson, president of UNEQ. “How are authors from Quebec, Italy or Japan to know that their works have been determined to be ‘orphans’ by a group in Ann Arbor, Michigan? If these colleges can make up their own rules, then won’t every college and university, in every country, want to do the same?”

The authors said books from nearly every nation have been digitized, including thousands of works published in 2001 in China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom, and hundreds from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, The Netherlands, The Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.

The lawsuit was filed just days before lawyers for authors and publishers are scheduled to tell a judge whether they have reached a new deal with the Mountain View, Calif.-based Google to create a massive online library.

U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin had rejected a $125 million settlement of a 6-year-old lawsuit after objections were filed by Google rivals, consumer watchdogs, academic experts, literary agents and even foreign governments.

Chin wrote that many objectors would drop their complaints if Google allowed book owners to choose to join the library rather than being required to quit it.

unauthorized scans of an estimated 7 million copyright-protected books. They said the schools had pooled the unauthorized files at Michigan, where a spokeswoman said she was pursuing comment.

The lawsuit seeks to impound the digital copies of the works along with other unspecified damages.

In a statement, the authors said they sought to stop the Oct. 13 release of 27 works by French, Russian and American authors to an estimated 250,000 students and faculty members, along with the scheduled release in November of an additional 140 books. Those works, they said, included some in Spanish, Yiddish, French and Russian.

The authors said Michigan announced plans in June to permit unlimited downloads by its students and faculty members of the scanned works it considered orphans and other universities joined the project in August.

“This is an upsetting and outrageous attempt to dismiss authors’ rights,” said Angelo Loukakis, executive director of the Australian Society of Authors. “Maybe it doesn’t seem like it to some, but writing books is an author’s reallife work and livelihood. This group of American universities has no authority to decide whether, when or how authors forfeit their copyright protection. These aren’t orphaned books, they’re abducted books.”

“I was stunned when I learned

After the Marquette Student Government primary elections held last Thursday, six candidates for hall senator from McCormick and Cobeen Halls will move on to the general election, to be held this Thursday.

Freshman Zach Bowman, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, won 41.8 percent of the vote in the race for McCormick Hall Senator, putting him in second

place, but withdrew after the election was held. The other four freshmen candidates, Tommy Hayes, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, Monica Raciti, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, Thomas Schick, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Meredith Zoltan, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, will advance.

In Cobeen Hall, Natalie Pinkey, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Alexandra Whittaker, a freshman in the College of Communication, advanced over Melissa Parres, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, and will also move on. Pinkey won 49.7 percent of the vote. Whittaker had 38.8 percent.

The election results were certified

by Morgan Johnson, the MUSG elections coordinator and sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, and Jon Dooley, MUSG advisor and the senior associate dean of student development.

A total of 385 voters in Cobeen and McCormick Halls represents 34.0 percent of all eligible voters, MUSG reported.

All other halls did not have enough candidates to merit a primary election.

At press time, MUSG legislative vice president Drew Halunen said the results should be posted online within the next 24 hours.

Halunen, junior in the College of Arts & Sciences said there is a hard copy of the results posted on the MUSG office door.

Normally the charge for a state ID is $28.

The memo, written by Steven Krieser, executive assistant of the transportation department, said, “While you should certainly help customers who come in asking for a free ID to

check the appropriate box, you should refrain from offering the free version to customers who do not ask for it.”

As of last Wednesday, DMV locations began displaying signs about free IDs for voters, which are offered in order to avoid the new law being labeled as a poll tax.

The memo has since been met with a wave of both criticism and defense, with some state leaders saying it takes advantage of people who weren’t aware of the law.

Pyritz said Monday the criticism has been overblown, and compared the memo to the Department of Natural Resources

asking each person who applies for a fishing license if they know what an invasive species is.

“It’s ridiculous,” Pyritz said.

Among those leaders concerned about the memo is Rep. Evan Wynn (R-Whitewater).

Wynn wrote a letter to State Secretary Mark Gottlieb on

Sept. 8, and called the memo “concerning, to say the least.”

“Providing free identification to those who seek to vote is the very foundation of the premise of ‘Voter ID,’” Wynn wrote.

“Placing unnecessary barriers undermines our elections and undermines the intent of the law.”

Student moms speak out about their experience

nant,” Tom said. “Keeping yourself healthy, keeping your baby healthy.”

It took Tom three to four months to simply complete the process of applying for BadgerCare, Wisconsin’s health care system. Meanwhile, she had to pay out-of-pocket for any care she received. Because she was not yet covered, she put off getting prenatal care until her application went through, four months into her pregnancy.

Tom was surprised to find that no one she asked at Marquette had been able to help her, either in filling out BadgerCare forms or in telling her where she could get help filling out the forms.

She did eventually talk to Ann Mulgrew, assistant director of Campus Ministry. She had heard Mulgrew would be helpful but put off the conversation because she was apprehensive about what Campus Ministry would tell her.

“It literally would have changed my life the first three months if I had had some help,” Tom said. “It’s scary. You’re getting bigger, and you have nowhere to go. How can you even focus on school when there’s something bigger than school going on?”

What Tom didn’t know was that freshman Stephanie Owsiak was asking herself the exact same question at nearly the exact same time.

Owsiak found out that she was pregnant at the end of March 2010. Because she was friends with her resident assistant in Cobeen Hall, Owsiak told her that she was pregnant. The RA was then obligated to tell the hall director.

Shortly thereafter, Owsiak received an email from the direc-

tor asking her to meet.

“It felt like a pointless conversation,” Owsiak said. “She asked what I was planning on doing, if I was going to keep the baby, and if I would come back to school after I had the baby. I knew I wasn’t going to go back to Marquette. It didn’t seem like an option.”

Owsiak finished her freshman year, telling only her close friends and one professor of her situation, and then moved back home to Chicago. In fall 2010, she began taking classes at her local community college, and on Dec. 8, she gave birth to a boy named Major.

Owsiak continued taking classes at the community college this spring. She is still taking classes and hopes to attend pharmacy school in Chicago next fall. She said she probably would have come home to have the baby no matter what, but would have considered returning to Marquette after the baby was born if she had known she had support and some sort of day care to know her baby was okay.

“It would have been nice to talk to someone and to know what my options were,” Owsiak said. “I didn’t know there was someone I could’ve talked to.

It was really stressful not having anyone and not knowing if I would be able to stay in school or not.”

When asked if she consulted Student Health Service, the Counseling Center or Campus Ministry, Owsiak said she had not known that there would be people there with whom she could talk. Her hall director had not provided any direction or feedback about where to go.

Owsiak said she would have considered going to Campus Ministry or the Counseling Center had she known such op-

In April 2010, Kellee Tom, a Marquette junior at the time, discovered she was pregnant.

While she realized that her life was about to change drastically, she did not know how much she would have to learn. From figuring out where she could get prenatal care to where she could live after the baby arrived, she was on her own.

“I wish there had been a resource or someone to talk to,” Tom said. “No one had any information, even on how to do the health care form. I was shocked that Marquette didn’t have anything for it.”

Tom graduated from the College of Business Administration in May of this year. She chose to stay at Marquette for the duration of her pregnancy. Upon discovering she was pregnant, she registered for summer classes so that she could complete all of her courses before her baby was born.

Her last exam was on Dec. 15, 2010. Her daughter Sloan was born on Dec. 21. In March, she moved to Omaha with her boyfriend and obtained a job in real estate but flew back to Milwaukee to walk with her class for graduation in May. Tom, who describes herself as a go-getter, said that she was able to search online until she found places in Milwaukee to get the help she needed. Filling out the health care forms was the hardest part.

Stephanie Owsiak was unaware of the resources at Marquette when she became pregnant her freshmen year–– she wishes she had known sooner.

tions were available. Her boyfriend, not a Marquette student, was even willing to move from Chicago to Milwaukee to help her with their baby so she could stay.

He knew how much she loved it and loved her friends she had made. She just did not think it was possible.

SHS at Marquette offers pregnancy testing for $15. If a student cannot afford this, SHS can work with her to develop a payment plan.

The staff in Schroeder Complex performs between 75 and 85 pregnancy tests annually, but most of these are conducted for concerns not related to pregnancy, according to an estimate by Carolyn Smith, medical director of SHS. Smith said health providers will conduct a pregnancy test, for example, before prescribing a medication for acne or when trying to determine the cause of abdominal or pelvic pain.

Smith estimated that fewer than six students per year request referrals for outside assistance through SHS. But if two Marquette students found out they were pregnant within two weeks of each other, how many other Marquette students experience pregnancy on campus?

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 79.5 percent of college students aged 18-24 have had intercourse and 2.2 percent of college students who have intercourse experience a pregnancy. Last year, Marquette enrolled 8,113 students, according to Marquette. edu.

According to these statistics, about 142 Marquette students should theoretically be pregnant each year.

Yet 142 women are hardly walking down the street sporting protruding bellies or pushing strollers.

Most women who get pregnant at Marquette and carry the baby to term, which seems to be rare based upon those who seek resources for help, probably choose to return home, said Ann Mulgrew, assistant director of Campus Ministry and Project Rachel counselor.

Project Rachel is a network of healing services within the Catholic Church that offers emotional support for those who have been involved in an abortion and are experiencing grief. It was founded in Milwaukee by Victoria Thorn, wife of College of Communication professor William Thorn. It can be found in nearly 150 Catholic dioceses in the United States as well as in some dioceses in other countries.

Mulgrew is known on campus as one of the

go-to people for issues surrounding pregnancy. She estimated, however, that she had met with less than one student per year in this respect.

She cited the financial and logistical difficulty of being pregnant away from home as the primary reason students might leave. Some, like Owsiak, may choose to continue their education at a local community college.

The biggest obstacle to pregnant students staying at Marquette is a lack of information about where they can go in Milwaukee for help, according to Tom and Owsiak.

“The resources are out there, but they’re in all different places,” Mulgrew said.

In the late 1980s, Susan Mountin, then-associate director of Campus Ministry, began a program called Life After Pregnancy, Placement, and Parenting (LAP) with three to four women who were pregnant on Marquette’s campus at that time.

The program encompassed an array of services directed toward helping women and men in need.

Mountin said it provided a comprehensive list of doctors in the area who were willing to take in new patients, often at discounted prices. It worked with social services in the Milwaukee area to ensure Marquette women were getting the nutrition and care they needed.

LAP also provided a support group to which students could bring their babies. It partnered with the Students for Life group on campus in providing each parent with a directory of free babysitters.

Mountin worked with associate deans, residence hall directors, the Office of Student Development, Office of Student Financial Aid, SHS and the Counseling Center. At the beginning of each semester, she would provide workshops to these various departments about how to advise students who became pregnant or were parenting.

In its earliest years, LAP had 11 to 15 women and men in an average school year. As it became more established, it grew to about 25 students per year, including some graduate students, on the mailing list and involved in the discussion groups.

But in 2002, Mountin left Campus Ministry to take a new position at Marquette, as director of faculty for the Manresa Project.

With her absence from Campus Ministry and the graduation of some of its core students, LAP grew smaller and smaller until

CLOSER LOOK

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 it eventually ceased to exist and was removed from the Campus Ministry website.

The Counseling Center and Campus Ministry are available to give students dealing with pregnancy emotional support.

Other colleges and universities, however, have responded to the need within their own communities to empower women with knowledge and assistance.

St. Louis University has seen corresponding numbers on its campus. Five years ago, a subcommittee of SLU Students for Life began to raise money to establish an endowment for a scholarship fund to assist pregnant or parenting students at SLU. “When we were starting this whole thing, we weren’t really sure if there was a need,” said Kelly O’Shea, 22, who graduated from SLU in May. O’Shea was the chairperson of the Pregnant and Parenting Committee at SLU during her senior year.

The application for the scholarship has now been available for two years. Over 50 students have applied, and the committee has raised over $80,000.

Furthermore, the committee has received information from SLU’s Office of the Bursar that over 100 students are claiming dependents on their financial forms. These numbers include a few graduate students, but the majority are undergraduates.

Some potential donors have questioned whether the group is promoting promiscuity by providing the assistance fund.

O’Shea said she thinks the opposite is true.

“If you create a culture of life on your campus, and people interact with and see more of pregnant students who can be comfortable to have a baby and push a stroller around campus, it is almost a deterrent to promiscuity,” O’Shea said. “People will see how hard it is. There is nothing we can do to totally help a woman who is pregnant or parenting.”

O’Shea said women who are pregnant or parenting on campus cannot go out on the weekends.

They are working all week. They have to wake up early to get the baby ready. They work at night but also have to do homework

Nearly

and prepare dinner. Ultimately, these women tend to feel isolated.

Tom would agree.

“You go through a period when you’re feeling depressed,” she said. “I felt like I was missing out on everything and that my whole college experience was ruined. It makes you not want to get up in the morning.

Tom said she wished Marquette had housing available for families, but that she had been told nothing like that existed on campus. She and her boyfriend found a place to live in Pewaukee, Wis., and she had to commute 40 minutes every day to get to school.

“For every group project, I had to drive back to campus,” Tom said. “It was pretty exhausting.

A lot of universities have housing.”

One thing Marquette does have is supportive faculty.

“There are a lot of hurdles, but I can guarantee you that it is not because Marquette does not allow students to be pregnant,” Mulgrew said. “The faculty and staff are always very supportive.”

Joseph Terrian, dean of the College of Business Administration, arranged special desks in all of Tom’s classes to accommodate her pregnancy.

“Everyone was so nice,” she said. “If there was a place to be pregnant, I’d say it would be at Marquette. It was a good experience overall.”

Tom told all of her professors each semester that she was pregnant to let them know that she would be missing some classes due to morning sickness and other health-related concerns.

“Yes, we would like students to hold off on having sex until marriage, but how are we going to help our students when they need help?” Mountin said. “If we are going to be a Catholic, Jesuit university, we need to put our money where our mouth is.”

cility opened the same year.

Since then, Georgetown has also began offering free home pregnancy tests and a 24-hour pregnancy hotline. A separate group, GU Right to Life, began a volunteer babysitting operation and organized diaper drives for the local pregnancy center.

While Marquette undergraduate students have the option of using the Marquette University Child Care Center, located at 500 N. 19th St., its waiting list and high fees may make it inaccessible for many.

Rates vary depending on the age of the child and the number of hours per week of care, but a block of ten hours a day, five days a week would cost a student $248, and the parent would need to supply formula. The Center can currently only serve 24 infants, and there is currently a waiting list for new infants.

“The Child Care Center is so outrageously expensive, students couldn’t afford it,” Mountin said. “We even had support staff who can’t afford the Child Care Center.”

Childhood to adulthood: 9/11 ten years later

Photo by Elise Krivit/ elise.krivit@marquette.edu

We know you’ve heard it a million times.

Whether by parents, orientation discussions or AlcoholEdu, Marquette students are accustomed to this refrain.

But we tend to forget that alcohol can come down to life and death.

On July 15, Jeff Wielichowski of Greenfield, Wis., died after drinking a mixture of 190-proof Everclear grain alcohol, Red Bull and Gatorade. He had jumped into his family’s pool, passed out and sunk to the bottom.

His friends pulled him out, but they did not tell his parents who were home that he appeared to be passed out, nor did they call an ambulance. By the time his parents realized what had happened, tried to administer CPR and called 911, it was too late. He was 22.

Wielichowski’s mother Luanne is now on a mission to ban high-powered grain alcohol like Everclear in Wisconsin. Restrictions or bans on the alcohol exist in over 12 states, including two of the state’s neighbors, Minnesota and Michigan.

His mother maintains that young people like her son do not realize how strong these substances are. At 190-proof, a drink is 95 percent alcohol.

Prohibition came along in 1919 largely due to the outcry from wives and mothers who saw the drinking was doing to their husbands and families. Ultimately though, prohibition failed.

We do not support a ban on Everclear or grain alcohol. Those of legal drinking age are adults who should be able to make these choices for themselves.

But we can sympathize with Luanne Wielichowski. What else can she do but seek to ensure more young people do not end up dead in the same manner as her son? In her grief, she wants to educate, and she wants to prevent more pain and more senseless loss of life.

If we do not want to see restrictions of Everclear or other alcohol like it, we need to educate ourselves and be responsible when drinking. Otherwise, who’s to say we don’t need a restriction for our own safety?

This story reminds us to watch out for our friends. It is simply not worth worrying about getting in trouble if someone at a party appears to be extremely intoxicated and in need of medical help.

While Marquette does not currently have an amnesty policy in place for a student who calls for assistance on behalf of an intoxicated student, it should be noted that the responding agencies such as the Department of Public Safety or emergency medical technicians would place a much bigger priority on attending to the student needing help than bothering to take disciplinary action against the caller. In practice, the caller’s name would rarely, if ever, be included in the report, according to a representative from the Division of Student Affairs.

Most, if not all, of Wielichowski’s friends were probably of legal drinking age, and they still did not take action to help their friend who died.

Perhaps we need to reeducate ourselves on when to get help for a friend.

For most college students, alcohol and drunkenness are not unfamiliar sights. Because of its familiarity, students can get accustomed to not taking it seriously when the time calls for it.

The mix Wielichowski drank was playfully nicknamed “Tucker Death Mix”—yet the humor is understandably lost when someone actually dies from it.

We are young.

We are not immortal. We have dreams of tackling the world with our friends by our side and our Marquette education in hand.

There is no reason to gamble with that future by drinking a death mix for fun on a Friday night.

Women’s Soccer

Page acts as spark plug for MU offense

Scorer does work as a bench player

By Michael LoCicero

michael.locicero@marquette.edu

It’s one of the most common debates on campus: Milwaukee or Chicago? Apparently, this is true even on the Marquette women’s soccer team.

At least it is between senior forward Lindsey Page and senior defender Kerry McBride, who are former roommates.

Page, from Alsip, Ill., has loyalties to Chicago, while McBride, from nearby Elm Grove, Wisc., remains true to her Milwaukee roots.

“We have our Milwaukee-Chicago fights, because obviously Milwaukee is better, but (Page) thinks Chicago is,” McBride said.

While the two may differ in their opinions off the pitch, they have bonded on it, and it has helped lead to Marquette’s 7-10 start to the season, including a come-from-behind 2-1 victory at Indiana on Sunday.

Page has been a crucial part of that success and may be the most underrated player on the team.

Through the first eight games, Page has two goals and three assists, putting nine of her 18 shots on goal. She also scored the game-winning goal in overtime against Northwestern Aug. 21.

Despite appearing in and making an impact in every game this year, Page hasn’t started a game, a testament to how deep the team is.

“It doesn’t matter who plays how many minutes or who starts.

It’s all about the end result,” coach Markus Roeders said.

“Lindsey could certainly start, but we feel she’s a great spark off the bench for us.”

Now that the team’s non-conference portion of the season has been completed, it will be players like Page who will spell the starters when they get tired, especially later in the season, when a fresh body could lead to a goal or mismatch.

While Page may be a nuisance for opponents on the field, the senior looks forward to helping people when she graduates by going into nursing.

As generous as this may seem, Page has encountered a few tense moments when working at the hospital.

“I was poked by a needle that was used on a homeless man one time. I’ve been thrown up on.

Pretty much anything and everything that you could imagine,” Page said.

While the experience of those things may be beneficial to Page in the future, the team is thankful she has been able to balance offthe-field experiences and translate it into on-field success.

“She has a great sense of humor, fun and has a great personality,” McBride said. “She does a great job of leading by example on the team and helping underclassmen.”

The sense of humor came up when asked if she had any rebuttals toward sophomore defender

Walk-ons try out Thursday

By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Behind the glamor of traveling the country on private planes and owning more pairs of Jordan shoes than one knows what to do with, the life of a Marquette basketball walk-on requires just about everything but walking.

The Golden Eagles’ coaching staff, which will hold tryouts Sept. 15, is looking for a player willing to work far beyond his limitations each day despite seeing limited minutes, if any.

Assistant coach Brad Autry described the process as similar to recruiting.

“Can you survive practices, and are you bringing positive things to our team through academics, basketball and community relation?” Autry said. “Are you tough mentally and physically, and are you working every day to be a better person and get better like we all are?”

Rob Frozena, who graduated in 2011 as the program’s only four-year walk-on, said his work level never differed from that of his teammates on scholarship.

“You have to give the same effort, the same intensity,” Frozena said. “And even though you may not have Division I talent, you’re expected to be a Division I basketball player.”

run by (strength and conditioning coach) Todd Smith the last two years,” Page said. “I’m the best dancer on the team. I’ve never seen Katie dance before.”

Page and Hishmeh will look to

A roster spot is not guaranteed to any prospective walk-on, but the Golden Eagles have just 11 scholarship players eligible this season, leaving room for an extra player who can be used in practice settings.

The staff will choose a walk-on based on needs, and this year that need could be at the point guard position. Junior guard Junior Cadougan is the team’s only point guard with college experience and, while a forward or center would be the best-case scenario, even Autry knows seven-footers don’t walk through the door every day.

“Nobody ever has enough big men,” he joked. “Except (Connecticut).”

The one piece of advice Autry gives to any prospective walk-on is that he must be in peak physical condition. Autry said this helps the player in the tryout, but more importantly, it gives the staff a first impression of the player’s

commitment level.

When the tryout begins, Autry and the coaching staff look for two specifics.

“What is your physical condition level, and how do you respond when you get fatigued?”

Autry said. “Do you just float off into space, or do you keep fighting through it? As much as you can in a limited scope, you try to get an idea about the kid’s toughness physically and also mentally.”

Should the Golden Eagles add a walk-on, it is then that the work begins.

“You have to be the most selfless person,” Frozena said. “You are going to be expected to go far beyond your comfort zone in every stretch of the imagination.

You need to completely devote yourself to the team and making everyone better.”

MU’s top-five basketball jerseys Andrei Greska Last Tuesday, Marquette Athletics tweeted a peek at the new uniforms for the men’s basketball team. Reaction around the interwebs has been highly polarized.

You’re either drooling all over yourself, counting down the days until you can drop a “Benjamin” at the Spirit Shop for it or feel like gouging out your eyes and using them for toilet paper.

The main debate has originated from the use of a back graphic like the elite Nike and Jumpman schools have worn the previous years.

Marquette’s uniform features Marquette Hall at the top, with a famous bust of Al McGuire below it. Under that is a circle that supposedly represents a basketball with the “MU” logo on it, followed by the year the university was founded (1881) and finally the Jesuit motto, “Cura personalis.”

At first I thought the design was well thought out but poorly executed. The features on their own were fine but stacked on top of each other they looked way too vertical.

But having been lucky enough to see them in person, I have been

converted. Start saving up. These puppies are classic.

Are they one of the best the school has ever had? Not quite yet.

Marquette has a storied history of great uniforms and only time will tell.

Which are better you ask? I have a top-5 list all ready for your enjoyment.

5) 1976-’79 Home: Imagine if senior guard Darius JohnsonOdom went home and drew up a sweet design for some new threads.

Now imagine he took that design to coach Buzz Williams, who liked its so much that he had DJO sit down with Nike and hammer out the details to have Nike actually make it.

This happened in 1976 with Bo Ellis and Al McGuire. On top of that, these were the first jerseys ever worn untucked and were worn during Marquette’s one and only championship season. How could this jersey be left out? (As an added bonus point, redshirt sophomore forward Jamil Wilson said this was his favorite Marquette jersey from the old days.)

4) 1969-’72 Roadie: The good old bumblebees. Marquette wore these babies en route to winning the 1970 NIT championship, back when it meant something. The psychedelic apparel was too good to be true, though. It was banned by the NCAA in 1972 when other teams complained it was disorienting See Jerseys, page 19

Senior midfielder Calum Mallace played out of position when he spent time at defender over the wekeend.

Neither senior at full strength yet

By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s soccer team has played two games with defender Michael Alfano and midfielder Calum Mallace back from injury — but both games brought losses, dropping the team’s record to 1-4.

The Milwaukee Cup remained

with Wisconsin-Milwaukee Friday night as the Panthers downed Marquette 2-1. Then, Sunday, the Golden Eagles fell to Wright State 2-1.

When asked how the return of his two seniors has affected the team’s play, coach Louis Bennett said, “Not very well. We’ve lost both games.”

Mallace and Alfano both missed the first three games of the season, a stretch over which Marquette went 1-2.

Mallace played all 90 minutes in

Continued from page 14:

Walk-ons: Room for one more Despite not taking the traditional route to the team, current players have made the acclimation as a walk-on an easy one, finding common ground as skilled basketball players.

“They’re just guys and they’re really good at basketball,” Autry said. “So typically, if (the walkon) has the kind of personality we’re looking for, he’s able to move in easily.”

Autry described Frozena as “the best,” citing his ability to do everything the team needed and always being a positive influence and understanding his role. While the work put in most likely will not lead to major minutes, Frozena said the experience and sat-

“I loved my role, and I got a sense of satisfaction knowing how hard I was working,” Frozena said. “I wanted the experience, and it’s what I wanted to do.

I wanted be a part of it.”

The Golden Eagles hope their next walk-on will have that same attitude and will hit the ground not walking, but running.

“Being a walk-on at this level takes a special kind of person,” coach Buzz Williams said. “The work is very demanding, and the rewards, if any, are limited at best. Hard work and dedication are without question the biggest attributes necessary for success.”

Alfano played 52 minutes Sunday and 45 minutes Friday.

Men’s Tennis brief

The Marquette men’s tennis team’s season ended last year with a loss to then-No. 60 DePaul in the fifth-place game of the Big East Championship Tournament. It hovered around .500 most of the season and finished with a 14-12 record.

Through the efforts of players like junior Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley and sophomore Dan Mamalat the team stayed competitive but suffered from a lack of depth as well as a lack of all-around consistency.

Crowley and Mamalat, who teamed to record a 13-6 overall doubles record and a 38-26 combined singles record, look to improve on their success and lead the team this year.

After losing only one senior, Jose Manuel Munoz, the team welcomes four freshmen: David Packowitz, James Stark, Cameron Tehrani and Vukasin Teofanovic.

Stark, a Wisconsin native, and Tehrani, an Arizona native, were all-state players. Teofanovic was rated the top player in Serbia at the under-16 level. Packowitz, an Illinois native, compiled a 35-0 doubles record in 2011 en route to winning doubles title at state.

The team will compete in the 36th annual Milwaukee Tennis Classic this weekend along with Wisconsin, Northwestern and Ball State. The Classic will be held outdoors at the Town Club (7950 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Fox Point, Wisc.) with free admission and parking.

Last season, sophomore Thibault Troude recorded the only victory against the Badgers in the singles match.

Djokavic wins first U.S. Open title

Junior Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley will be a leader on the 2011 squad.

NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic produced a nearly perfect performance to match his nearly perfect season.

Returning brilliantly, swatting winners from all angles, the No. 1-ranked Djokovic held on to beat defending champion Rafael Nadal 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 on Monday night in a final chock-full of lengthy, mesmerizing points to earn his first U.S. Open title and third Grand Slam trophy of 2011.

Djokovic improved to 64-2 with 10 tournament titles in a simply spectacular year, one of the greatest in the history of men’s tennis — or any sport, for that matter.

He’s been perfect against No. 2 Nadal, too, going 6-0 headto-head, all in finals — three on hard courts, including Monday; two on clay; and one on grass at Wimbledon in July. Djokovic also won the Australian Open in January, and is only the sixth man in the 40-plus years of the Open era to collect three major titles in a single season.

Nadal did it in 2010, including a victory over Djokovic in

the U.S. Open final. But the rematch was more of a mismatch, even if Nadal led 2-0 in each of the first two sets before Djokovic turned things around.

Only in the third set did Djokovic really falter for a few moments, getting broken while serving for the match at 6-5, then being outplayed in the tiebreaker. He was treated by a trainer for an aching back three times after that, getting massaged and taking pills to dull the pain.

But in the fourth set, Djokovic was in control from the start, breaking in the opening game with a forehand winner, then cruising from there.

When Djokovic ended it with a forehand winner, he raised his arms, then tossed aside his racket and dropped to the court.

He pulled off his shirt and threw it into the stands, then put on a dark hat with “FDNY” written on it — a nod to Sunday’s 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which both he and Nadal mentioned during the trophy ceremony.

Men’s golf brief

In the first tournament of the fall season the Marquette men’s golf team finished 10th out of 11 teams at the Wolverine Intercollegiate in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Marquette posted a 20-over par 588. The Golden Eagles were nine strokes away from tying Oakland for last place and three strokes back from Detroit Mercy for ninth.

Sophomores Michael Motz and Corey Konieczki paced the Golden Eagles, finishing tied for 26th (3-over par 145). Motz shot a 75 in the first round and 70 in the second round. Konieczki did the opposite.

The lone senior on the team, Matt Haase, shot a 6-over par 148.

He shot 74 (3-over par) in each round and finished tied for 40th.

Freshmen CJ Swift, of New Canaan, Conn., and Austin Wilson of Eden Prairie, Minn., rounded out Marquette’s scorers. Swift shot an 8-over par 150. Wilson shot a 20over par 162. Wilson finished 60th and Swift finished tied for 45th.

Sept. 16, 2005 It was the start of a beautiful relationship.

The Marquette women’s soccer team, now one of the perennial powerhouses in the Big East and the two-time defending American Division champion, recorded its first ever win in the conference with a 4-1 victory over South Florida.

The victory was one of the most historic in Marquette history. It was, in fact, the school’s first win of any kind in the Big East. Marquette was previously a member of Conference USA. Forward Christy Zwolski scored two goals and assisted on another for the No. 17 Golden Eagles, who got out to a 1-0 lead

in the opening period and never let off the brake, scoring the fourth and final goal with 50 seconds left in the match.

It was a statement game for a team that would morph from starry-eyed rookie to conference juggernaut in just a few short years.

Of course, all of this seems like eons ago, with Marquette athletics now synonymous with the Big East. But this day in history should never be forgotten, as it was a precursor to the dominance of one of the country’s elite soccer programs, as well as the unofficial coming out party for Marquette in a new conference.

Hello, Big East. We’re Marquette. And we’re not going anywhere.

Women’s volleyball

Beyer back in form after slow start to year Senior named Big East Player of the Week on Monday

By Andrei Greska

andrei.greska@marquette.edu

It can be called a tale of two ankles.

On Aug. 29, senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer amassed a negative hitting percentage against Northern Iowa after downing only four kills and committing six errors.

Flash forward to Sept. 12 and Beyer was not only named the Most Valuable Player of the Marquette/ Milwaukee Invitational but was also tagged as the Big East Player of the

Week for only the second time in her career.

The biggest difference in her game has nothing to do with her talent increasing but instead can be pinned down to an injured ankle that hampered her in the opening weeks.

Although she acknowledges she is still not fully healthy, Beyer said it isn’t that big of a deal now as it was before.

“I’m not 100 percent,” Beyer said, “but that isn’t something I think about when I’m out on the court.”

The accolades came after the Marquette women’s volleyball team (7-3) swept through Southern Mississippi, Akron and Wisconsin-Milwaukee in straight sets on its way to the

Marquette/Milwaukee Invitational crown.

“That was a great weekend for us,” coach Bond Shymansky told GoMarquette.com, “watching our team assert themselves playing really great volleyball.”

Shymansky was particularly impressed with the play of freshman setter Chelsea Heier.

“She can really feel her hitters now,” he told the website. “Early on in the season she was setting the ball to a location. Now I really see her setting her hitters, and the offense just looks great.”

Beyer was one of the beneficiaries of Heier’s improved play. Beyer averaged 4.22 kills per set, reaching

double digit kills in every match for a total of 38 for the weekend.

While Beyer’s offensive proficiency is important to Marquette, her defensive presence might be even more valuable. The senior averaged 2.3 digs per set, notching a season high 13 against Southern Mississippi.

Defensively, Marquette’s frontline played a crucial role in controlling the matches. Junior middle hitter Danielle Carlson led the way recording nine blocks assists, while the Golden Eagles posted 24.5 total blocks.

On top of outright blocks, the Golden Eagles did a good job getting their hands on opponents’ hits, slow-

ing them down and making them easier to dig out in the back. This helped the Golden Eagles hold opponents’ hitting percentages under .160 in every match of the weekend.

Beyer credited increased preparation for the better blocking numbers. She said by executing what the coaches have preached, they have been able to take out the bigger hitters and as a result have had a much more imposing defensive presence.

While the senior is happy with her latest accolades, Beyer isn’t dwelling on them.

“It’s a great individual honor, but it will only make me work harder week in and week out in practice to keep helping my team,” Beyer said.

Jerseys: MU well known for style when Marquette players jumped up and down. This uniform sums up what Marquette basketball is all about: originality and a brash style that dares people to look away.

3) 2007-’11 Alternate: This is the jersey we all know and love. It was difficult picking between the golds and the baby blues, but in the end the baby blues remain more iconic. When Marquette comes out wearing these, you know it’s a big game. It doesn’t get higher in the standings because it hasn’t held up the test of time yet, but having the design remain similar for the newest style is a definite plus.

2) 1968-’73 Home: Very simple, very clean, but ultimately this 1968 jersey has all the makings of a beautiful jersey. The blue racing stripe on the side is accented with two thin, gold, parallel lines

giving a common addition an exciting little twist. The circle around the number is the kicker, though.

This design is unlike any other Marquette has had and would make for a great throwback for Marquette to wear in the near future.

1) 1971-’74 Roadie: It doesn’t get any better than this. A perfect color choice with a distinct pattern and great font. It is because of this beauty that announcers say we have the best looking jerseys in college basketball — seeing as the current design uses this jersey as its inspiration. Think about that for a second. When the ladies and gents at Converse (and now Nike) got together to design the best possible jersey, they used this one as inspiration. That right there is the definition what it takes to be No. 1. andrei.greska@marquette.edu
