Milwaukee poverty rate still on the rise Economic climate causes trouble for low-income families

By Pat Simonaitis patrick.simonaitis@marquette.edu

The United States Census Bureau released a report last week stating the national poverty rate increased and the median household income decreased nationwide in 2010.

Nationally, 15.1 percent of people are living at a level considered by the government to be at or below the poverty rate. For some perspective, a person under 65 years old would be considered impoverished if he or she earned less than $11,344 in a year, according to the bureau.

The median income decreased 2.3 percent to $49,445.

In total, 46.3 million people lived in poverty in 2010, up from 43.6 million in 2009 and the highest poverty rate since 1993.

“What you don’t see is what’s behind the numbers,” said David Riemer, director of the Community Advocates Public Policy Institute. The group is a non-partisan organization dedicated to reducing poverty in Milwaukee.

Impoverished people in Milwaukee have been especially distressed in the current economic climate, he said, particularly because of the lack of work opportunities for the poor.

Riemer said he has seen firsthand individuals and families struggling to pay rent, mortgages, buy food or even books for children, as public resources meant to help those most in need have been exhausted.

Dentistry expansion planned

Lobb looks forward to seeing school grow in offerings

By Tony Manno anthony.manno@marquette.edu

As demand for professionals rise and the applicant pool becomes more competitive, Marquette’s School of Dentistry is spending the year preparing for a $16 million expansion to its facilities.

Among those eager to get the facility up and running is Dean William Lobb, who believes a new workspace is necessary for the school to provide its innovative education.

“When we built the current building, we were limited by the budget available,” Lobb said. “Now we can dream the bigger dream for this building.”

The construction will be paid for in a joint effort with the state, which has contributed $8 million to the project. Marquette will raise the additional funds by asking alumni and others close to the university.

The school has already raised $2.5 million since the recent start of its campaign.

Benefits of the new facility will include research space, practice rooms and an expanded clinical facility to support more patients, Lobb said.

Though a start date is dependent on fundraising, contractors said construction would take 12 months

to complete.

For Lobb, the changes to the school in recent years have been a drastic shift from the traditional dental education he received in Canada and at the University of Michigan.

Specializing in orthodontics, Lobb said he “struggled to be a jack-of-all-trades” after his traditional dentistry education. During his time at Marquette, however, the school has been progressive in integrating disciplines to form students into multi-faceted general dentists.

“We want students to start behaving like dental professionals early,” he said. “This is something unique to our curriculum.”

Lobb has been dean at Marquette’s School of Dentistry since 1997. In the early 2000’s, the school moved from Cramer Hall to its current building, where Lobb pushed to make the branches of school “neighbors by discipline” by sharing space and interacting with each other.

Although his role as dean is primarily administrative, Lobb also teaches once a week in the graduate dental program.

Majed Khalifa, a sophomore in the School of Dentistry, is looking forward to utilizing an updated space to integrate the programs.

“The environment will be better,” Khalifa said. “Like other new buildings on campus, it will be refreshing.”

Another advantage of the new space will be an expanded simulation lab for student training and

development of skills. Lobb said the current lab only houses 80 stations, and the simulators use a 10-yearold technology. The new facility will update existing technologies while allowing the growing classes to utilize it.

“We want to sustain that edge, so the technology is important,” Lobb said.

The current home of the School of Dentistry was designed with gathering spaces to mix faculty specializing in the different branches.

Lobb said the school would benefit from an entire complex built with this integration in mind.

Gary Stafford, a general dentist in the school’s clinic, said a common workspace is essential for research and will attract high caliber faculty to join the school.

“By having an area specifically designed for research, the faculty will have an in-house location that should help to promote collaboration and enable the faculty to more effectively engage in their research endeavors, Stafford said.

Lobb said with 400 vacant faculty spaces in dental schools across the country, this expansion would also allow the school to be competitive in recruiting and maintaining faculty.

“To compete, you need an area for faculty to practice,” Lobb said.

“We have outgrown our practice space.”

Currently the only joint dental school and clinic in Wisconsin, the school draws 2,500-3,000 applicants to fill its 80 spots per class, Lobb said.

Pilarz goes ‘On the Issues’ New president speaks on value in listening to all

By Olivia Morrissey

olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

A packed room awaited the Rev. Scott Pilarz as he sat down with Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy at the Law School, for the most recent installment of the “On the Issues” series.

Pilarz spoke about Milwaukee, the Big East, the university and its students.

Prior to becoming Marquette University’s 23rd President and moving to the fourth floor of Campus Town East, Pilarz had been an English professor-turned administrator at Georgetown University, as well as president of the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania.

Pilarz said he believes living among the students is a necessary

element of university presidency.

“It is really important for me to get a sense of the realities of (students’) lives and listen to what they have to say,” he said. “It keeps me young and exposes me to musical tastes I would not have heard otherwise.”

Listening, Pilarz said, is what he tries to do every day. He hosts dinners with freshmen, alumni and faculty members from all departments.

He said he wants to hear as many different voices of the Marquette community as possible — not just the loudest or most agreeable ones.

Many of those voices have been vying for Pilarz’s attention, especially in light of the recent sexual assault cases and crimes reported on campus.

Pilarz said he is willing to take into consideration anyone’s point of view in order to keep Marquette’s campus safe. Still, he was relatively undeterred by the incidents.

“Universities are an inherently

Mike Gousha and Fr. Pilarz sit down for discussion on new presidency.

messy place, but that’s also the genius of it,” Pilarz said. “We’ll never be perfect, but we’re always a work in progress.”

Pilarz referenced the email he sent out to the student body last week regarding the most recent sexual assault case, and reiterated the zero-tolerance policy for any action that goes against Marquette’s “cura personalis” philosophy. He also discussed the changes made to university policies dealing with sexual assault awareness, namely, a greater emphasis on the issue for freshmen students.

“It might be uncomfortable for them to talk about, but awareness of sexual assault is front and center for new students,” Pilarz said.

Pilarz also said a new athletic director, replacing Steve Cottingham, will also be chosen in the coming months, but he said it is too early to begin the search process. Next week, a team of three experts in collegiate sports will conduct a peerevaluation of the athletic program, he said.

Pilarz is also working with other university presidents in the Big East Conference to address a recently announced change to its teams. Last week, Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh left the Big East to join the Atlantic Coast Conference. Rutgers University and the University of Connecticut may follow suit.

“Pride in Marquette athletics and our ability to play on the national stage is why we are in the Big East, and I am firmly committed to keeping it alive,” he said. “I don’t think we should limit ourselves to an allCatholic university conference.”

The conversation shifted to Marquette’s role in the Milwaukee community and Pilarz’s vision for student involvement in the city.

Community service in Milwaukee is part of the Marquette experience for many, but Pilarz stressed a contemplative approach.

“Marquette is an engine of social justice and a resource Milwaukee can’t find anywhere else.”

Alleged admission discrimination at Madison Study suggests race a large determinant for acceptance

By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

A study conducted by the Center for Equal Opportunity, a conservative group opposed to discrimination based on race and ethnicity, concluded that the University of Wisconsin-Madison has discriminatory admission policies.

According to the study, black and Hispanic students who were admitted to UW-Madison in 2007 and 2008 were not as qualified as white and Asian students who were rejected. The study cited lower test scores, class rank and retention rates among the groups as evidence.

Ultimately, the group believes the determining factor in UWMadison admissions is race.

The study makes the claim that preferential treatment of minorities was evident from the average ACT scores of the compared groups. The median ACT score for blacks admitted into the

school in 2007 was 24 and for Hispanics was 26, whereas for whites it was 29.

The study also said the university’s admission rates for groups are discriminatory. During the 2007-2008 school year, 8 in 10 blacks and 7 in 10 Hispanics were accepted. Comparatively, 6 in 10 whites and Asians were accepted.

Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity, said universities frequently lead people to believe they use race and ethnicity solely as a tiebreaker, but it is actually a much bigger factor.

“It turns out that race and ethnicity are being given a huge amount of weight in determining who gets in and who doesn’t,” Clegg said.

UW-Madison reacted strongly to the allegations, holding a press conference on Sept. 13 following the study’s release. The university stood by its admission policies during the conference.

The press conference was protested by various student groups who took offense to the study, Clegg said.

In a press release, the university’s Interim Chancellor David

Ward said school officials are confident their practices are constitutional and consistent with U.S. Supreme Court decisions that say race is a permissible factor when part of a holistic admissions process.

“We know that enrolling students of all cultures and backgrounds improves the learning environment at UW–Madison and prepares everyone to be competitive in an increasingly multicultural world,” Ward said.

The “holistic admissions process” that Ward spoke of is one that takes several factors into consideration when assessing applications — not just one or two — according to John Lucas, senior university relations specialist for the university.

Marquette has a similar approach to its admission policies.

William Welburn, associate provost for diversity and inclusion at Marquette, said every school, no matter public or private, is committed to educating the next generation.

“People come with different skills and types of knowledge that are reflected in different ways, like tests, service or academic performance,” Welburn

extensive three-part training on sexual violence. This training will be led by almost 40 faculty and administrators who volunteered to be trained to provide almost 70 programs.

The three parts include an online educational program, faculty-led education on sexual assault at Marquette and bystander intervention strategies led by student peer educators.

Daood said the primary objective of all programming efforts is to help students define sexual assault, recognize predatory behavior, intervene as a bystander and be compassionate to peers who have been sexually assaulted.

Corey Lansing, assistant dean for student involvement, said he thinks the program will get people talking about sexual assault and the extent of the problem on college campuses. He said the training was introduced to the Greek presidents last Monday, and each fraternity and sorority will decide if they want to participate.

He also said it would make a

statement if every individual in a fraternity or a sorority went though the training because that would mean over 700 students committed to receiving education on sexual violence.

The decision for Greek Life to join the initiative was made because fraternities specifically received media attention regarding the issue and the council leaders wanted to show that Marquette Greek Life is taking action against sexual violence, he said.

Mike Broeker, acting athletic director, said the training was also added to the life skills programming for athletes. He said the sexual assault cases from last year were not addressed at the athletes’ training sessions.

“We do not want to revisit cases,” Broeker said. “We want to do (the training) as a proactive measure and move forward.”

He said he hopes the student athletes can become more personally aware and be leaders on campus by using their high profiles to help raise awareness.

said. “We look for that … we don’t just look for high test scores.”

Roby Blust, dean of undergraduate admissions and enrollment planning, named the factors that go into assessing an applicant.

He said Marquette looks at the strength of a student’s academic

program, with courses taken and grades received in those courses as most important.

Standardized test scores, essays, letters of recommendation and extracurricular activities are also important but serve as secondary factors, he said.

Sexual assault training debuts Dorm sexual

Student leaders targeted for new prevention program

By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

All first-year students and many student leaders are partaking in a sexual assault awareness program as part of a new initiative against sexual violence on campus.

Chris Daood, assistant director of Marquette’s Counseling Center, said recent and anticipated amendments to Title IX and the Clery Act, which pertains to how sexual assault claims are dealt with on college campuses, are challenging colleges and universities across the country to make changes.

A report prepared for the National Institute of Justice found that about 1 in 5 women are victims of sexual assault while in college. The report also said that about 6.1 percent of males were victims of completed or attempted sexual assault during college.

Although he is not aware of other universities taking efforts as extensive as Marquette’s, Daood said he is sure many schools are exploring ways to increase their educational efforts regarding sexual assault awareness.

According to Marquette’s 2011 Safety Resource Guide, there were three sexual offenses on campus in 2010.

Daood said the media attention Marquette received regarding high profile student athlete sexual assault cases undoubtedly contributed to the change.

“Marquette has chosen to view this as an opportunity to make meaningful and positive change for our entire campus community,” Daood said.

This year’s new students received brief training during their freshman orientation. Next year’s first-year students will be required to complete the online training before they arrive at Marquette in the fall.

Daood said more than 15 student leader groups including resident assistants, athletes, members of Greek Life and the MUSG executive board will go through the more

assault reported

Pilarz makes general statement on university policy

By Ben Stanley benjamin.stanley@marquette.edu

No new information has yet been released regarding a sexual assault reported last weekend, although University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz released a statement earlier this week addressing the issue.

The alleged assault occurred between Fri., Sept. 9 and Sat., Sept.

10 in Schroeder Hall, and a suspect was taken into custody by the Milwaukee Police Department, according to the Department of Public Safety.

In his email to students, sent Sunday, Pilarz outlined steps taken by

the university over the past few months to prevent sexual assault and raise student awareness toward it.

These include conducting a peer review of the athletic program, providing all first-year students with mandatory sexual misconduct awareness and prevention training and providing more extensive training to resident assistants, Greek organizations and peer health educators.

“Sexual violence of any kind is unacceptable in a community committed to the care and development of each of its members,” Pilarz wrote.

Sunday also marked the beginning of Sexual Violence Awareness Week, Pilarz said, which will include a variety of activities to help raise awareness on campus.

Little Women author big highlight for MKE Five-event series shows Louisa May Alcott accolades

By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Photo by Brittany McGrail/brittany.mcgrail@marquette.edu

Dramatic readings, discussions and documentaries highlight the week long series at Raynor Memorial and local Milwaukee libraries.

Louisa May Alcott was much more than the author of “Little Women”, as a new series on the popular 19th-century writer hopes to show.

Two Marquette English department scholars collaborated with Raynor Library and Milwaukee Public Library to bring a five-event series entitled “Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women” to enlighten the community on the author’s life, lesser-known novels she wrote and her time as a war nurse.

The initiative for the series began when Sarah Wadsworth, associate professor of English in the College of Arts & Sciences, received an email advertising a grant from the American Library Association. The grant, worth $2,500, was awarded to 30 libraries across the country for the promotion of five reading, viewing and discussion programs featuring Harriet Reisen’s biography and documentary about Louisa May Alcott.

Following the email, Wadsworth contacted Angela Sorby, also an associate professor of English in the College of Arts & Sciences.

“As I became aware of the

details of the grant I contacted Angela (Sorby) to see if she was interested, and when we found out we could have two scholars on the grant and work with the library, we became very excited,” Wadsworth said.

Wadsworth also contacted the director at Milwaukee Public Library and proposed the collaborative opportunity to share the life of Alcott. Within weeks of the initial email the project was underway, she said.

“The purpose of the event is to draw people in and bridge the academic and community relationship through this series, and the (Central) library was very willing to do this with us,” Wadsworth said.

Sorby elaborated on the series’ purpose, explaining that the events and lectures are to celebrate Alcott’s diverse career and to remind people of her “fascinating and complex history as a reformer, nurse and ‘blood-and-thunder’ author,” Sorby said via email.

The series launched yesterday at the Raynor Library Conference Center with activities such as film clips, music, performances from the theater department, readings from lesser-known Alcott works and speeches from both Wadsworth and Sorby.

Phylis Ravel, artistic associate professor for Performing and Media Arts at Marquette, was in charge of coordinating the acting and dramatic readings for the series.

She said the theater

department is pleased to be working with an esteemed group of colleagues and is excited to present a concert reading of “Behind a Mask,” an often unrecognized novel written by Alcott about a woman’s acting skills, how she can fool a family and escape betrothed people.

“This rarely seen thriller is a most provocative piece,” Ravel said. “We have enjoyed bringing a selection of this novel to life.”

Upcoming events including documentaries and discussion of Alcott and her life’s work will occur at both the Raynor Library and Milwaukee Public Library in its Betty Brinn Children’s Room at the Herzfeld Activity Center.

The final event of the series will occur on Nov. 29 in celebration of Alcott’s birthday.

There will be a birthday cake to go along with the series-closing discussion on the documentary and biography. An informal exhibit of Alcott’s juvenile fiction will also be on display in the Children’s Room.

Sorby and Wadsworth both said they hope students and the community will walk away with many things after attending the series.

“People are people no matter the era and they are endlessly fascinating,” Sorby said. “Alcott had an intense childhood with her idealistic parents, and she parlayed her (often difficult) background into a career as a novelist.”

Housing woes topic of discussion in MUSG Residence hall solution is still being sought by ORL

By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

Guest speakers Jim McMahon, associate vice president for student affairs and dean of residence life, and Roby Blust, dean of admissions and

enrollment planning, attended Marquette University Student Government’s first official meeting Thursday to speak about securing residence hall space for more than 100 freshmen and transfer students placed in temporary housing.

“Every student who wants to be in student housing will be,” McMahon said. “We are sure of that.”

McMahon was joined at the meeting by Sean Berthold, assistant dean of housing services at ORL.

Temporary housing locations on campus include McCormick Hall lounges converted to quad rooms, which currently accommodate freshmen men and transfer women, as well as Abbotsford and O’Donnell lounges converted to triples and quads.

Some students aged 21 years and older are currently housed in Campus Town apartments.

McMahon believes housing is limited because the number of students who paid their deposits and actually enrolled at Marquette was surprisingly high this year. It is usually expected that about 100 students who pay the housing deposit will walk away from the investment and enroll at another university. But this year, only 50 students left their deposits while 50 others enrolled.

“Perhaps because the deposit was more money this year, it caused people to stick with their decisions,” McMahon said.

Berthold said the main goal is to not only secure housing, but also ensure students’ happiness regarding their living situations.

“This past week, our McCormick Hall staff spoke with these temporary students,” Berthold said. “Their interests are our first priority. We are (looking at) what second-year spaces are currently available.”

Besides utilizing lounges to accommodate students, building another dormitory is an enormous project that McMahon called an “expensive proposition,” but is certainly in consideration.

He also said that ORL is unsure as to what the new

president’s priorities are regarding housing.

Many MUSG senators worried limited housing may eventually affect the entire Marquette community as larger numbers of students conduct later searches for off-campus housing.

“With this year’s student body, the influx of students will be looking hard to find off-campus housing,” Berthold said.

“As classes grow, developed space becomes more limited.”

McMahon said a possible alternative is expanding the availability of off-campus housing, and to ensure university-owned apartments like Campus Town are at full capacity.

“Right now, Campus Town is at 66 percent capacity,” McMahon said. “If housing got so tight, does it not make sense for us to require that every bed is filled?”

Commuter senator Clyde Hoffman, a senior in the College of Engineering, argued that if the university mandated such requirements, many students may not sign those leases and consequently, even fewer apartments may be filled.

Ultimately, no concrete solution was provided to solve the current housing crisis.

After the housing presentation, the Senate allocated $2,575 to the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship student organization for speaker Bernard Amadei, the founder of engineering organization Engineers Without Borders, to speak on campus.

The Senate passed funding allocations with a 14-0-0 vote.

Upcoming MUSG Events MUSG will host a showing of the movie “Super 8” at the Varsity Theater this upcoming week.

This Thursday, tickets for guest speaker Frank Warner, famous for creating the website PostSecret, will become available. Warner will speak on Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Varsity Theater.

Sept. 27 is the second Fresh Fall Farmer’s Market, where organic produce will be for sale.

In the upcoming week, all organizations on campus will receive an invitation to “The Void,” a lip syncing competition. Applicants may apply through Oct. 8.

“MUSG presents: Craig Robinson Live at the Varsity” will be Tuesday, Oct. 4 in the Varsity Theater. Doors open at 8 p.m. for the 9 p.m. show.

Tickets are currently available for Marquette students in the Brooks Lounge for $10 with a valid MUID, and will be open to the public for $15.

Davis said another potential solution would come if the U.S. dollar went down in value.

“If the dollar goes down, U.S. goods and exports become cheaper for people in other countries so they demand more goods from us and less goods from other countries,” he wrote in an email.

He also said imports become more expensive for the U.S. when the dollar goes down, so it buys less from others and more from its own firms.

“Higher exports and lower imports means more jobs for us, which lowers unemployment,” Davis said.

Hubert de Givenchy, the French designer who dressed Grace Kelly and Jackie O, once said: “The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.”

Last week, a 24-year-old woman named Nancy Upton entered American Apparel’s contest to be the face of its new plus-size line. Outraged by the clothing company’s attempt to “use one fat girl as a symbol of apology and acceptance to a demographic it had long insisted on ignoring,” Upton said, she submitted two satirical photos of herself. In one, she ate a rotisserie chicken in a swimming pool; in the other, she smeared the sauce of an individual pizza on her face.

The crazy part: She won.

That is, however, until American Apparel retracted the title, bestowed on Upton by online voters, for mocking “the positive intentions of the campaign.”

Upton has received mass praise from men and women across the country for her humor and courage in representing those who are not a size two.

But I have a huge issue with the way she’s chosen to represent them.

At a glance, Upton’s sabotage of the competition is not upsetting. We all knew, long before her statement, that a major demographic was missing from American Apparel’s representation. We also knew that the company itself was not of the highest virtue; its CEO was accused just last year of holding a model hostage — as a sex slave.

So Upton’s message is less about the company and more about plus-size women. But her photos reinforced an unflattering and obviously unsound stereotype that plus-size women are slovenly and gluttonous.

Furthermore, her winning submissions made an absolute joke of a contest that thousands of plus-size models

actually valued as progress — both for themselves and for clothing companies that have long ignored them.

That said, I understand what drove her to do it.

Upton’s situation is just one new example of old issues within the fashion industry, which are often brought to light at this particular time of year: New York Fashion Week.

Since the spectacle kicked into full gear last week, talk of models and clothing lines has been rampant. Popular newspapers created special sections for photos from the fashion shows and interviews with designers. Twitter was drenched in fashion news.

Unfortunately, not all of it is just about the outfits.

I’ve seen articles detailing the exploitation of young models; very few are paid and most are out of work after they celebrate their twentieth birthdays.

And Kanye West, whose recent “Monster” video featured scores of young female models hanging from ropes, just launched a women’s clothing line in Paris last week.

Sorry if I’m mistaken, but isn’t the fashion industry supposed to be for women?

Aren’t clothes meant to fit all of us? Shouldn’t models represent us?

Shouldn’t they be compensated? And why is a man whose art has consistently involved the defamation of women designing clothes for us?

I’m not a plus-size woman, but I’m also not 5 foot 10 inches and 100 lb.

Look around Milwaukee or any other city in America — how many women do you see who with model proportions?

The only women we see on runways and in our magazines have knees we could break in two and clavicles more prominent than their noses; they look nothing like us and they mean nothing to us.

So although I don’t stand behind Upton’s decisions, I do understand the frustration that drove her to them. Fashion, like de Givenchy said, is meant to follow us — not the other way around.

And until we see models of all heights and widths, receiving the pay they deserve from clothing companies and designers who respect them, that conviction will remain lost on us. bridget.gamble@marquette.edu

Tribune 7 Letter to the editor

Cutting crowded buses, building empty rails Sarah Hauer reports in the Thurs., Sept.

15 issue of The Marquette Tribune that Milwaukee County may cut bus service, including the popular routes 30, 23 and 12 that serve the university area.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett pushes development of light rail downtown. His proposed streetcar service would likely go in a circle with probably no more riders than the summer “trolley” bus.

Worse, his proposal would entail digging up downtown streets and interfering with wiring for electricity and other essentials located beneath the streets’ surfaces. Mayor Barrett’s costly proposal would result with few passengers riding the circular light rail.

Would it not make much more sense to use the money for the proposed rail to

instead maintain the sometimes overly crowded bus lines where the county is planning cuts?

Climbing the stairs to Students and disability ODS work toward self-advocacy Resources accessibility

By Marissa A. Evans marissa.evans@marquette.edu

In spring 2010, Courtney Griffin and her parents were trying to find the back entrance to Marquette Hall. Making their challenge more difficult was an additional question: how Griffin, then a high school junior, in a wheelchair with Type 3 spinal muscular dystrophy, would be able to ride the small elevator down to the Office of Disability Services (ODS), which is located in the basement area.

The elevator was actually broken that day.

After Griffin’s mother went inside to tell the office the elevator wasn’t working, the meeting was moved to another location that Griffin could access in her wheelchair.

However, having an older brother at Marquette, Griffin said this had not been the

first time such an incident had occurred while visiting academic buildings or residence halls.

“Trying to go to the dorms at McCormick, I couldn’t fit through the doors or turn around in my chair. I couldn’t fit in the rooms,” Griffin said. “I had to sit outside in the hallway and look in on everyone.”

In the end, Griffin decided to attend University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. While she still loves Marquette and found the university helpful in figuring out options if she had come to Milwaukee, Griffin said her current school seemed to be the better fit for her needs.

“It was really just at U of I they have a program and plan set in place,” Griffin said. “They have everything laid out for you; at Marquette it was more work, a lot more testing the waters, and that’s not something you want to do when you have a disability. You want to be sure every step of the way of what you’re doing and I didn’t get that feeling at Marquette as much as I did here.”

Bill Wantuck, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, who has cerebral palsy, also said ODS was in a “horrible location.”

“My first time there, I walked in circles; they don’t make themselves accessible or known,” Wantuck said. “We can get downstairs if we need to but there are some disabled students where, if they were to hear (the office is in the basement), they’d shy away.”

While he does not necessarily need a wheelchair to get around campus, the biggest adjustment for Wantuck was figuring out the best times for him to leave for his classes, just like any other college student. Because he can only walk for so long, he had to have time to not only get to class but also to accommodate any resting time he might need along the way.

“For some people, if they see

I’m having a hard time, they carry me across the street,” Wantuck said.

Wantuck was able to get around McCormick Hall during his freshman year, but when it came time to choose a new dorm sophomore year, things became trickier. Wantuck had a 6:30 p.m. room sign up time and he knew the rooms that would best suit his needs (in McCabe Hall) were going to be filled.

While ODS can be consulted in these situations, it’s up to the student to make sure their own needs are met. Wantuck wrote an email to the Office of Residence Life (ORL) outlining his needs for a room on a lower floor and tripping hazards eliminated. He had to research which dorms had triples and which ones had their own bathrooms.

Wantuck also noted that most of his classes were going

to be in Cramer Hall, making McCabe a more convenient location, as he would not have to travel as far. He also made it clear he was willing to live in other dorms such as Straz Tower or Carpenter Tower, if necessary.

The office responded positively, saying he had viable claims and they would see to it he had more proper arrangements.

As a student, Wantuck said he appreciates the sense of independence and normalcy Marquette tries to provide for students with physical disabilities, but sometimes it would be nice to get more help.

“I haven’t been asked ‘how can we improve?’ I feel if they reached out to us, things could get better,” Wantuck said.

“They’re trying to get you out of (ODS) as fast as they can to see everyone.”

When Shannon Webster, a sophomore in the College of Communication, arrived on campus last year, Johnston Hall did not have a handicapaccessible entrance.

Since this spring, new construction allowed for Webster, who has cerebral palsy, to ride her Segway into the building through a back entrance.

Webster said she has had to get used to hunting for entrances into buildings.

“They’re kind of like a mystery to find,” Webster said.

“They’re always in the back or around the corner where you have to ask where it is, and no one even knows where it is.”

This year Webster is living in McCabe, and she said it’s been a lot easier to manage than living in Cobeen Hall.

“I’m in one of the triples with the handicap bathroom so I get to not worry about falling when I’m showering, and I can hang onto the railing all around the shower, as before I would hang onto the little soap bar in Cobeen,” Webster said.

According to the ODS Policy and Procedure Handbook, there are specific services provided for students with physical disabilities.

This includes making sure there is access to classrooms and residence halls, extensions for assignments to accommodate medical concerns and priority registration for classes in buildings in close proximity to each other.

However, according to Heidi Vering, coordinator of disability services and associate director for Student Educational Services, privacy laws prevent ODS from stepping forward to help without a student’s

CLOSER LOOK

consent. According to Vering, on average, 120 new students annually provide documentation to ODS about their disabilities, but that does not necessarily mean they are receiving accommodations. Students have to request accommodations on their own — which is very different from in high school.

“High school parents can advocate for them and the school already knows their needs, but now they have to communicate their needs and that may be with more than one person on campus, so that’s a big transition to remember,” Vering said.

Moving Forward Karen Desotelle, director of Student Educational Services, said state schools receive more federal funding for building renovations than private colleges. According to the Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights, a group organized to help students and young adults with disabilities and their families, private postsecondary institutions that do not receive government funds are protected by Title III of the American Disabilities Act, which means these schools have more time to plan how they will become ADA compliant.

Any changes Marquette makes to its buildings must be paid for by the university, according to Desotelle. New stipulations made in 2010 for ADA compliance laws say nothing has to be done to update existing buildings built before the new standards were set in place in 1977, unless they are being renovated.

“As we move forward, the institution grows in its accessible buildings, but we have a lot of old buildings,” Desotelle said.

Regarding ODS’ current space in Marquette Hall, Vering said while it is not the most ideal location, it’s a temporary space and still accessible to students.

She also said that there are a wide range of services for students to use, such as a testing center and more support staff for all students.

Sean Berthold, assistant dean for housing services, said in an email that, with the exception of O’Donnell Hall, all of the residence halls are wheelchairaccessible. Campus Town East

and Humphrey Hall apartments are also accessible. He also said ORL works with ODS to identify special housing accommodation requests prior to a student’s arrival on campus.

In an Education.com article, the University of Illinois tops the list of best colleges for students with physical disabilities. The school has personal attendants (who are nursing students) who help students around campus.

There are even “floater” students around the residence halls to assist with unexpected needs such as an extra trip to the bathroom or a shower.

Besides this, there is a special transportation system in place for disability students to take a bus to and from each one of their classes. U of I also has a wheelchair basketball program and a day of awareness when students in the physical disabilities program sit on a panel to talk about their experiences on campus.

“People will come to our floor and want to look around and see what things are like,” Griffin said. “You don’t feel like you have to blend in, you can be different but have your disability and find a way to do things.”

Other colleges cited in the list are University of WisconsinWhitewater, which also has a unique transportation system for disabled students and assisting technology, and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, which has a student medical services building on campus with staff trained to work with students with physical disabilities. “(Students) often go to a more highly supported environment than a private institution,” Desotelle said. “We have the resources but it’s not at the level that some of the state schools have; which isn’t to say that they don’t come here, but there are some students that go through some hardship.”

Continuity an issue for defensive starters Solution may have strong backline, having had to juggle its lineup as it continued to deal with injuries. Overall, 10 players have spent time on the backline.

But on Sunday, Marquette showed a glimpse of what could be the starting defensive unit for the near future: freshman Dennis Holowaty at right back, senior Michael Alfano at center

back, sophomore Paul Dillon at the left back and sophomore Eric Pothast — returning from a head injury that forced him out of the 1-1 double overtime draw against Michigan State (1-5-1) Friday — at the other center back.

That unit allowed one goal, which was good enough for the Golden Eagles to pull out the

Sophomore defender Paul Dillon is one of only two Marquette players to start in every single game so far this season.

2-1 victory in double overtime on Sunday at Michigan (2-6-1).

Coach Louis Bennett said the unit performed well enough to earn another go, come Saturday’s battle at Syracuse (2-4-0).

“Even if it’s not pretty, we’ve got to keep the ball out of the back of the net,” Bennett said.

“When we get some continuity, I think these guys will play well enough.”

Pothast’s improved continuity on the backline has allowed senior midfielder Calum Mallace — the team’s leading scorer in 2010 with 18 points — to shift back to the midfield.

“I felt really comfortable with the guys we had back there (Sunday),” Alfano said. “It was nice to have Pothast back because he’s always solid. You can always count on him. You know where he’s going to be. You always know what he’s going to do. He doesn’t pull things out surprisingly.”

Pothast’s return signified only the second time that the three captains on the team — Pothast, Mallace and junior midfielder Ryan Robb — played together in 2011.

“Bringing him back gave us an aerial presence and gave us the ability to play out, and it gave us calmness. He’s calm under pressure,” Bennett said. “And I thought he and Alfano worked

Jonesing for a power hitter

Women fall one set short of first top-ten victory

By A.W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu

Entering the fourth set with a 2-1 advantage, the ingredients were set for Marquette volleyball (9-4) to cook up a signature upset over 9th ranked Minnesota (7-2).

The women were rolling — feeding off the crowd’s energy, minimizing their errors and riding the powerful right arm of senior outside hitter Ciara Jones.

Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda.

Mistakes plagued the Golden Eagles’ final two sets and ulti-

mately cost them the match (2517, 22-25, 27-29, 25-20, 15-12).

And although this nullified the opportunity for a signature win out of conference and a championship in the Marquette Challenge, junior middle hitter Kelsey Mattai is still staying positive.

“We’re really proud of our performance, and we are not hanging our heads,” Mattai said. “We did a lot of good things today, and we’re looking forward to taking all these positives into our next match.”

This weekend, the Golden Eagles’ largest positive was quite simple: Jones was on their side.

After notching 16 kills in a gritty 3-1 win Friday against Middle Tennessee State (16-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-23), the senior raised her play to another level against the better competition. Consis-

Junior middle hitter Kelsey Mattai registered five blocks on Friday night.

tently powering through Minnesota’s unique “swing blocks,” a technique allowing defenders to jump more aggressively, Jones registered a career-high 24 kills versus only five errors, on her way to an impressive .432 hitting percentage.

“My mom always tells me to be relentless, and I feel that that’s what I did tonight,” Jones said after the game. “I wasn’t afraid they were ranked ninth in the nation, because it’s our home floor. I was just trying to work hard.”

Yet Jones’ effort was not enough to overcome the Golden Eagles’ inconsistency, as the team committed 35 errors, including 12 missed serves.

Coach Bond Shymansky acknowledged that these mistakes took his team out of the game.

“We had real trouble with our first contact in that fifth set,” he said. “We’re playing on a big stage against a top-ten opponent, and sometimes you tend to overamp things a bit.”

Against Middle Tennessee State, the women used their blocking to turn around a tough first set loss. Although they had less fortune with Minnesota, Shymansky sees defensive play at the net as the way forward for his team.

“Blocking is, frankly, a new element we’ve been working on more this year,” Shymansksy said. “If we can have it all come around, I really believe we can become a dominant team.”

Mattai responded to her coaches’ teaching, registering five blocks in only two sets of gameplay on Friday. Her substitution into the match was an obvious game-change. However, she attributed her success to her teammates and technique.

really well together.”

Dillon, the only player to start every game on Marquette’s backline this season, hopes the unit that played Sunday will get more time together — which isn’t all within the players’ power, as injuries have done the team in thus far — because he felt a sense of comfort with that group.

“It’s been very difficult,” Dillon said of all the lineup shuffles. “You can tell (when there’s no familiarity): misplayed passes and thinking someone’s going to be in a different spot. But when you have familiar faces, you know where each other will be, and you know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and know when you have to cover for somebody and when you don’t.”

Alfano said playing with numerous defenders hasn’t been “too difficult” but that it isn’t ideal.

“It’s always different playing with a different person in each position. Everyone plays their position a little bit differently,” Alfano said. “But we’ve all been playing with each other for two years, and even when guys that are first years step in, we’re all soccer players. We all can make the adjustment and adapt to each other.”

Big East traitors set sail for ACC Andrei Greska Welcome to Marquette Fr. Pilarz!

First you dealt with sexual assault claims against athletes all summer, which in some form or another led to the outing of Athletic Director Steve Cottingham.

Then you witnessed Milwaukee becoming Compton where armed robberies were as common as the sun rising in the morning.

And just as your inauguration ceremony is set to take place, fellow Big East schools Syracuse and Pittsburgh decide they no longer want to be a part of the current conference limbo, applying for membership in the ACC over the weekend and putting the Big East’s future in jeopardy.

Oh conference realignment, how we hate thee.

It’s no secret that Marquette hit the jackpot when it was called in to play with the big boys of the Big East in 2005.

Yet, the days of the Big East as we know it are dwindling with the announcement that Syracuse and Pittsburgh will depart for the ACC. Football has assumed the throne, and it is a ruthless master that feeds on greenbacks. But billions of dollars in revenue aren’t enough. It wants every last penny.

Enough with the poetic prose though, let’s go through this one

step at a time.

Football makes tons of money for universities and obtains billion dollar television contracts.

While basketball is No. 2, it doesn’t even scratch the surface.

Herein lies the problem. Basketball was No. 1 in the Big East. So while it may have been stacked and produced national championships and whatnot, it paled in comparison to the other conferences when it comes to TV money.

Under current contract situations, the ACC gets $1.86 billion for 12 years, the Big Ten $3.8 billion from two sources through at least 2016, the Big 12 gets $1.5 billion for at least eight years, the SEC $3.1 billion for 15 years, and the Pac-12 $3 billion for 12 years.

The Big East earned mere decimal points compared to the other leagues. The contract, set to run out in 2013, was only worth $200 million and had to be split 16 ways. The greatest basketball conference ever couldn’t lay a finger on anyone else.

This is where things get hazy and tempers start to flare. The Big East was in contract negotiations with ESPN this summer for a bigger, better contract, reportedly worth $1 billion over nine years.

When it looked like a deal might be reached, conference leaders decided to halt negotiations and wait to see if they could get an even better deal.

Pittsburgh’s Chancellor Mark Nordenburg headed those negotiations. That’s right, the guy that just bolted for a different conference said no to a bigger contract See ACC, page 16

Both teams come in with a lot to prove, having already dropped a conference game in the first week of Big East play. After losing two of its three marquee match-ups, Marquette must utilize this opportunity to knock off another top-25 opponent, while Notre Dame will look to avoid a loss that would knock them out of the top-25.

Goals met for thriving MU runners

Johnson finishes in top 5 for fifth straight competition

By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

Marquette cross-country coach Mike Nelson had two goals for the men’s team competing at the National Catholic Championships at Notre Dame: have the top runner finish in under 25 minutes, and keep the top five finishers under 25 minutes, 30 seconds.

That’s exactly what happened.

Senior Blake Johnson placed fifth overall (24:46), and junior Connor Callahan, who finished fifth for Marquette, finished at 25:29 to help the Golden Eagles place second in the meet.

Nelson explained that having “mini-goals” has helped the team stay focused on individual achievements while also working for the betterment of the team.

“We want to work as a team during the race, but each individual has to run their own race,” Nelson said. “It’s good for us to set these mini-goals in each race that we have, because it gives each person a job or role that they play and they know it’s important to the team’s success.”

Having Johnson break through to the front of the pack after pacing himself earlier in the race was im-

portant for the team’s success and also helped the team accomplish its goal of staying under 25 minutes, Nelson said.

“That means you have a frontrunner,” Nelson said. “And you’re not going to do well if you don’t have anyone near the front of the race.”

While only five runners place from each team, Nelson explained that the more Marquette runners who can finish toward the front of the race, the higher the other team’s top five runners will place.

Senior Peter Bolgert, who finished 12th overall (25:06), was happy with the team’s performance.

“I feel good about last week,” Bolgert said. “I think the team still has a lot of work to do. But I think there are a few guys we’re going to see big improvements from over the next few weeks.”

While Nelson had his group take a more laid-back approach at last week’s Badger Opener, where the team won the meet, the pace will pick up as the team begins the heart of its schedule.

The women’s team also continued its improvement, placing fifth at the meet. It was once again freshman Kenzie Vicker who led the charge for the Golden Eagles, finishing 26th overall (18:23).

“One of our biggest goals is to be ranked in the regional area and just the whole idea of getting the pack as far up in the race as possible,” Vicker said.

MARQUETTE APARTMENTS

In order to achieve that goal, she said the team has picked up the intensity and pace on the course, which in turn has led to faster times.

“We started out conservative, running just to get the racing feeling back,” the freshman said. “But now it’s go-time. It’s time for us to start picking it up.”

Nelson said senior Alyssa Beste, who was dealing with an injury,

was placed in the junior varsity race at Notre Dame but would have finished as the Golden Eagles’ second place runner.

He also expects junior Courtney Kelly and senior Kate Moran to improve as the season goes on, helping the team to continue accomplishing those goals.

Men’s Tennis brief Sophomore Dan Malamat was the runner-up in singles play this weekend at the Milwaukee Tennis Classic to lead the Golden Eagles.

The sophomore won all three singles matches he played in, improving his record to 3-0. His weekend was highlighted by a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Northwestern senior Tobias Reitz.

Wisconsin-Madison junior Billy Bertha was the singles champion for the weekend.

Doubles play owed much of its success to Mamalat as well.

Junior Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley and Mamalat went 2-1 on the weekend, losing only to eventual doubles champs junior Alexander Kostanov and Berth, from Wisconsin, 8-4.

Three others also picked up wins over Northwestern, including sophomore Logon Collins, senior Drake Kakar and junior Otavio Perim.

Perim and senior Jonathan Scherwin salvaged the lone doubles win for the Golden Eagles over the Badgers, defeating Wisconsin’s duo of sophomore Fredrik Ask and redshirt sophomore Alexander Teppert 9-8.

The Golden Eagles head to South Bend, Ind., next weekend to participate in the Notre Dame Fall Invitational, followed by the Ball State Invitational, which starts Sept. 30.

women’s tennis brief Marquette was swept in its first doubles round on Friday by South Carolina during the 36th annual Milwaukee Tennis Classic.

The team’s first singles round, against Western Michigan, ended in a 3-3 draw. Graduate student Kristina Radan, freshman Ali Dawson and senior Olga Fischer, who spent the weekend in the No. 1 spot, each picked up their first individual wins of the season.

After being swept again by South Carolina (7-0) on Saturday, this time in singles play, Radan and Dawson teamed up to record the Golden Eagles’ lone doubles win against Kansas State.

Sunday proved to be Marquette’s strongest day as senior Gillian Hush and freshman Ana Pimienta picked up a doubles win in a team loss to Western Michigan. Later in the day Marquette came together for a 4-2 singles round win over Kansas State.

Fischer, Dawson and Radan continued their solid weekend with wins, and sophomore Rocio Diaz picked up her first victory.

men’s golf

Young talent shows potential Lone senior picks up lowest scores of the tournament

By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s golf team started its season with a 10th place finish at the Wolverine Intercollegiate, which wrapped up last Tuesday, but the team is looking to aim much higher throughout the rest of the season.

Overall the Golden Eagles were disappointed with the finish, but coach Steve Bailey said there were still spots of good golf.

“I saw a lot from two of our freshmen, C.J. Swift and Will Joiner,” Bailey said. “C.J. (Swift) didn’t have any freshman jitters and got out to a good start, and Will (Joiner) showed some good signs.”

Swift in particular impressed Bailey, as the Connecticut native shot 75 each of his first two rounds before closing with an 82 in the third round. Joiner, a Tennessee native, competed as an individual and finished with an overall score of 225 (76-7673).

“I’m excited about all of our young guys, but talent-wise C.J. has shown that the sky is the limit,” Bailey said.

Matt Haase, the team’s only senior, led the way for the Gold-

en Eagles, shooting a 74 in each of his first two rounds and a 73 in the final to tie for 31st place overall. Haase, like his coach, said that he was disappointed but saw potential in the Golden Eagles’ low overall placing.

“I went into the season knowing we were going to be young,” Haase said. “We need to focus more on the process and not the result, because that’s just an extra worry that you don’t need out on the course.”

Sophomore Corey Konieczki related to the struggles of adjusting to college-level competition that the team’s freshmen experienced in Michigan. Konieczki played his way into the top tier of the team’s roster last year as a freshman and said that for many players the first tournament is usually a road bump.

“I think a lot of it was the young guys getting their first tournament out of the way,” Konieczki said. “For the older guys it was just getting back into the college tournament atmosphere.”

Bailey said another problem with the team is with its short game, as the golfers struggled collectively to finish holes and make easy putts.

“We’ve driven the ball very well,” Bailey said. “All six of our guys hit 55 percent of their fairways, but we need to work a lot on our short game. When we missed the greens, we didn’t have a lot of up and down opportunities.”

With the first tournament in the books, the Golden Eagles will take the good and get over the bad heading into their next tournament, the Cardinal Collegiate in Simpsonville, Kentucky. Bailey said that his team will benefit from the familiarity it has gained from playing at Cardinal Club the past few years.

Haase also said he’s excited for the Louisville trip and the chance for the younger players to gain more experience. He said the team has no good or bad expectations for the season, and it will look to tackle the rest of the schedule one match at a time.

Sept. 19, 2006 Five years ago yesterday, Marquette extended the contract of then-men’s basketball coach Tom Crean’s through 2017.

This is memorable for a lot of reasons, but mostly because of the press release related and seeing some of the ill-advised words thrown around by thenschool president the Rev. Robert A. Wild.

Wild stressed that Crean “has been and always will be about commitment and relationships,” and that the agreement “provides a great hope for the future.”

Commitment? Future? This is

retrospective comedy at its finest.

Remember, this is Tom Crean we’re talking about here. The guy who, barely a year removed from signing this albatross contact, left Marquette and slithered his snakelike self to Indiana.

Wild also noted that Crean had “earned the respect of everyone with whom he has worked.”

Well, it’s five years later, can all the people who respect Crean raise their hands?

Anyone? No? That’s expected. So here’s to Wild, Crean, Marquette and the giant blunder of 2006 we all wish didn’t happen.

Continued from page 12:

ACC: Just win for the league, making his path towards traitordom that much simpler.

“He was keeping everybody together and asking everybody to be unified,” Louisville’s Director/Vice President of Athletics Tom Jurich told newspapers on Saturday. “I think everybody trusted him.”

So what does this mean for Marquette?

Will our basketball team automatically suck? Will we be forced to join the Horizon League? Will we cease to exist? No, of course not.

Marquette has survived conference musical chairs before and it will again. The key is to maintain at least a core of the conference so as to keep the Big East brand. Ideally the Big East picks up Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri from the hard-struck Big 12, but even if the worst should happen and all the football schools desert us — which it appears may happen — the basketball-only schools must remain

bonded.

If the football schools depart, then ideally Georgetown, Villanova, St. John’s, Providence and DePaul stick with us and some basketball schools like Xavier are added to the mix. Playing Xavier may not have the appeal of facing Connecticut or Syracuse, but it beats having to play Wisconsin-Green Bay and Valparaiso.

Recruiting will become more difficult, attendance will drop a bit and national television appearances aren’t guaranteed.

There is a simple solution: winning. The athletic department is committed to the program, pumping in more funds than any other school not named Duke, and it must reaffirm its commitment. Our Big East bubble has been burst, but basketball can still thrive.

On that note, if you had any doubts about buying tickets this year, this should have put those to rest. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

For whatever reason, the Marquette women’s soccer team (82-0, 1-1-0 Big East) just can’t seem to shake the Morgantown blues.

The Golden Eagles fell to West Virginia (6-3-0, 2-0-0 Big East) 3-1 Sunday for the sixth time in eight all-time matches after knocking out Pittsburgh at home Thursday, 3-0.

The loss snapped Marquette’s 15-game regular season Big East winning streak.

The Mountaineers’ senior

forward Blake Miller put West Virginia on the board in the 42nd minute and added two more goals in the second half to put the game out of reach before Golden Eagle freshman midfielder Mary Luba scored her first collegiate goal in the 82nd minute.

The game was the opposite of what Marquette was able to do against Pittsburgh on Thursday when it dominated the match en route to an easy win in its Big East opener.

“I thought our team came out and scored two good goals and then fought to get another in the second half, which is good because 2-0 is always a dangerous score,” sophomore midfielder Ashley Stemmeler said following Thursday’s game.

The team must recover quickly as DePaul (2-6-1, 0-1-1 Big East) and defending national

champion Notre Dame (4-4-1, 1-1-0 Big East) come to Milwaukee this weekend.

As for the continued misery in Morgantown, W.V., Marquette must put this game behind them because the Big East Tournament semifinals and finals will be held at West Virginia’s Dick Dlesk Stadium in November.

Against the Panthers, sophomore forward Maegan Kelly continued her stellar season by getting Marquette on the board in the 26th minute, taking a throwin from junior defender Megan Jaskowiak, weaving through the defense and firing a shot near post that beat Panthers senior goalkeeper Kristina Rioux.

Kelly has nine goals on the season and 16 for her career, which ties her for 10th place on Marquette’s all-time scoring list with Ashley Spakowitz.

The Golden Eagles were able to get 23 players into the match and saw sophomore midfielder Emily Jacobson tally her first point of the season with an assist on senior forward Lindsey Page’s third goal of the season.

“We just wanted to start off strong and get a couple of goals; of course we wanted to get a couple more, but it was nice to get the shutout and get a few goals in,” sophomore midfielder Kate Reigle said following Thursday’s game.

Senior goalkeeper Natalie Kulla continued her historic career by picking up her 36th shutout.

She is now tied for third place on the NCAA career shutouts list.

The good news for the Golden Eagles is that the games against DePaul and Notre Dame will be played at Valley Fields, where Marquette has not lost in 14 games.

The bad news is the team faces an uphill climb in its pursuit of getting a first-round bye in the Big East Tournament, where the first two teams in each division automatically advance to the quarterfinals.

The Golden Eagles are tied for second with four other teams in the American Division of the Big East, a division they have won two straight years.

“I do like the way we are playing, but there’s certainly room to improve,” coach Markus Roeders said. “We have to be sharper and crisper, and at the end of the day we have to execute.”

Syracuse has once again stuffed Marquette by bolting for the ACC and leaving the Big East in shambles.
