‘Marquette, baby, we are clearly born to run’

Pilarz officially becomes university’s 23rd president By Katie Doherty kathleen.doherty@marquette.edu

After a week of build-up, campus practically buzzed with excitement Friday as the Rev. Scott Pilarz was formally inaugurated as the 23rd president of Marquette University. In a ceremony at the packed Al McGuire Center, Pilarz outlined his vision for Marquette’s future, using humor to engage the audience and passion to drive home his message, and received congratulations as he embarked on his new journey. “It’s a funny feeling to be a freshman at 52,” Pilarz joked. He arrived on campus in August and lives in the Campus Town apartments among upperclassmen students. He said it was likely no coincidence that the date of the inauguration, Sept. 23, was the birthday of his home state New Jersey’s (unofficial) poet laureate, Bruce Springsteen. “Marquette, baby, we are

clearly born to run,” Pilarz said. The new president’s wit wasn’t the only thing supporting his speech, though. As a former English professor, he chose to “hazard” a metaphor that summed up his intention for the future of Marquette. “Jacques Marquette was obsessed with discovering the Mississippi River. … (to) enhance human experience and open opportunities for the spread of God’s good news,” Pilarz said. “So what is our Mississippi River? What keeps us up at night at Marquette?” Focusing on these questions, Pilarz asked how many students leave Marquette having experienced an “engagement of reality” that transforms them to their very core – an experience that should be the goal of a Jesuit education, he said. Pilarz encouraged the audience to reflect on the Jesuit mission. He said the work of Marquette is grounded in “learned ministry,” and the university must work for justice. “God’s grace is surely at work here, giving us the energy and enthusiasm to go and ‘set the See Inauguration, page 5

Jim Love is the mastermind behind planning ‘Unofficial Homecoming.’

Student spurs idea of bringing a new tradition to campus By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

This week, many Marquette students will wear blue and gold game day colors as if they are welcoming the highly anticipated basketball season. But

the season does not begin for another few months — so why exactly is the student body celebrating? Marquette’s first annual Unofficial Homecoming kicked off Monday. The weeklong celebratory event was planned and organized by Jim Love, a junior in the College of Communication. Love said the idea of homecoming on Marquette’s campus

began in July. “I visited some friends at Southern Illinois (University) and heard all the stories about their good times,” he said. “I felt deprived — like we needed to have something on this campus.” Marquette’s Unofficial Homecoming’s Facebook page has generated more than 1,200 RSVPs. According to the page, students may purchase $10 wristbands that enable participation in all the week’s planned events, as well as food and beverage. The wristbands were sold this past week at on-campus locations like The Brew Bayou, and will be for sale through Wednesday. Planned events for the week include a campus bar crawl Thursday, a semi-formal dance at 15th Street and State Street Friday where a Marquette “King” and “Queen” will be announced and a family cookout Saturday followed by the men’s soccer game at Valley Fields, according to the Facebook page. Love says 35 wristbands have been sold and he hopes 150 to 200 students total will attend See Homecoming, page 5

Invisible Children brings ‘Tony’

Group strives to bring awareness about Uganda issues By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

For almost 25 years, Uganda has been engulfed in a horrific civil war. Since 2006, the Marquette chapter of Invisible Children has been working to enlighten students and help bring peace to the war-torn nation. Tonight, Invisible Children will showcase the film “Tony” from 7 to 9 p.m. in Emory Clark Hall. Peter King, a pastor in northern Uganda, will also give a firsthand account of the war. King mentors students the organization has given scholarships to. The event is also a fundraiser, with Invisible Children merchandise on sale. All proceeds will go toward rebuilding education, establishing radio networks and funding rescue teams to help children escape and reconnect with their families. Headquartered in San Diego, Invisible Children sends representatives called “roadies” to screen documentaries at different schools each semester. The current film shows the progress of a child named Tony over the last few years, and how Invisible Children has helped him. Since 1987, Uganda has been

engulfed in a fight between the Ugandan government and a group called the Lord’s Resistance Army, led by Joseph Kony. The army, identified as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Patriot Act, fights the government and represents the Acholi people, a group that claims to have been unjustly treated by the Ugandan government. More than 30,000 children have been abducted by the LRA to serve as child soldiers since the beginning of the war, and more than 100,000 civilians have been killed, according to the United Nations website. Christina Fiocchi, president of Invisible Children at Marquette, wants students to learn about the conflict and its effect on children. “To instill fear, the LRA soldiers force the children to kill their families before abducting them,” Fiocchi said. Fiocchi said many of the young girls abducted are forced to be wives of LRA soldiers and some are disowned by their families if they have a child by a rebel soldier. She said the LRA soldiers destroy villages so that if the children escape, they have nothing to go back to. Since the late 1990s, the Ugandan government has sequestered citizens in displaced person camps as a safety measure. It was intended to be temporary, but there are still millions living in the camps,

according to the U.N. website. Fiocchi said Invisible Children at Marquette’s goal is to create awareness. “We just want to get people involved and do what we can to help end the conflict,” Fiocchi said. Dana Leonard, a sophomore in the College of Communication and member of the Invisible Children at Marquette executive board, thinks the event will make the conflict real for students. She said seeing the conflict on television is one thing, but hearing a firsthand account is another. “This war has been going on for 25 years … that’s longer than I have been alive,” Leonard said. Leonard said students do not recognize the impact Invisible Children is having on the world. “History is being made right now,” Leonard said. “I don’t think anyone really knows it.” Chima Korieh, a professor of African history in the College of Arts and Sciences, recognizes the work that Invisible Children has done and thinks it has made progress in raising awareness. But she said the conflict is far from over. “The Ugandan conflict can be looked at as an outcome of ethnic ideology and conflict in post-colonial Africa,” Korieh said. “The LRA’s human rights violations are expanding beyond Ugandan borders to include the Congo and Sudan.”

Users speak out against new look; Google+ debuts By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

It happened again. Facebook users logged in to catch up on their friends’ activity, only to find the social networking site completely different than when they left. Immediately, users updated their statuses and vowed they would leave Facebook forever in favor of another social networking site, in protest of the ever-changing website. But most users probably did not leave. Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the world, boasting over 800 million active users, according to Facebook statistics, and plans to remain that way. At Facebook’s annual developers conference last week, F8, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced new changes to the site, “to make the world more open and connected.” The changes will allow you to, “connect to anything you want in any way you want,” Zuckerberg said. The site partnered with multimedia services Spotify, Rhapsody, Hulu and Netflix to make Facebook a one-stop online media hub. Now, users can listen to music and watch videos without ever leaving Facebook. After using the new applications to watch videos or listen to music, users are able to tell their friends about different media interactions with the addition of “listen”, “watch”, “read” and “want” buttons. But the new applications aren’t the source of user frustration. Rather, it’s the changes in layout.

Also, the newly added ticker provides a continuous, chronological and lightweight stream of friends’ activity. The ticker is placed to the right of birthday and event notifications, with the chat box below it. Facebook users are not enthusiastic about the changes, and many feel they are unnecessary. Anna Hill, a freshman in the College of Communication, sees the changes as annoying and feels the site was fine the way it was. She said she logs into Facebook less often because she does not want to deal with the changes. “I don’t like knowing what everyone is doing every second,” Hill said. Hill said she now uses the micro-blogging site Tumblr more than Facebook because the product stays consistent. Caroline Collins, a sophomore in the College of Education, said she feels less like using Facebook since the changes made the site more confusing to use. Collins said she considered deleting her Facebook account but decided not to because she was unsure how she would communicate with many of her friends

and classmates. She said after the changes she has used the site less to “stalk” and more to communicate. Emily Isaksson, a first-year graduate student in speech pathology, said she is not panicking about the changes but does not like them either. Isaksson said “the changes were overwhelming,” especially those made on the homepage. The changes to Facebook coincide with the new public availability of the latest social networking site, Google+. Google+ is a social networking site with more than 43 million users. It provides a simple chronological news feed, a +1 button to indicate things around the web users like and does not contain video or music applications. Alec Gryen, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, said he plans on making a Google+ account very soon because of the site’s simple layout. Despite his plans to migrate to Google+, Gryen is not quite ready to abandon Facebook altogether. “I need (my Facebook account) to connect with friends because everyone is on (Facebook),” Gryen said.

Panel discusses city crime

On Monday, panelists from varied backgrounds discussed the problem of youth crime in Milwaukee.

Volunteers, former gang members debate solutions By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

“Milwaukee youth.” Two words that Milwaukee Judge Joe Donald said extend beyond young people in Milwaukee. They refer to the crimes occurring in neighborhoods citywide, a problem Donald and the other panelists at Monday’s “On the Issues with Mike Gousha” discussed. “The city of Milwaukee is very good at trailing, nailing and jailing,” Donald said. “But at some point these people will get out of jail, and if we don’t do more to change the thought process and behavior, all we will be doing is spending money on (separation).” Intervention, prevention and rebuilding a sense of community in these troubled neighborhoods dominated this “On the Issues” discussion, which was presented in conjunction with the Milwaukee Film Festival. One of the movies featured at the festival is “The Interrupters,” a documentary focusing on three former gang members who now work with CeaseFire, a program in Chicago aimed at stopping crime and violence. Donald, along with restorative justice advocate Ron Johnson, Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn, Safe & Sound Milwaukee executive director Barbara Notestein and United Community Center volunteer and Marquette sophomore Pedro Hernandez, sat before community members during the discussion. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and one of the

volunteers featured in the film, Ameena Matthews, were in the audience. Flynn said the problem of violent crime must be tackled at its core, in the neighborhoods themselves. He said the challenge for the police department is to disrupt the environments where these crimes occur, so as to alter the norms of people responding with violence. “At the neighborhood level, crime causes poverty,” Flynn said. “We need these people to realize that they are not just killing each other, they are killing their neighborhoods.” Restoring the social fabric of impoverished and crime-ridden communities is a central element of Safe & Sound Milwaukee, Notestein said. Violence is a learned behavior, she added, and the organization tries to prevent youths from receiving an education in committing violent crime. Johnson also works with at-risk youth, but more as an interventionist. He often goes to racially diverse high schools in the area that suffer from violent gang wars. His approach to diffusing the situations is to sit the offenders in a circle and allow each person to voice their feelings. Although the method is effective, Johnson said he notices the generation gap between himself and the children. “Sometimes, adults can preach or talk at kids rather than talk with them,” Johnson said. “The kids won’t listen to you if you don’t talk with them.” Hernandez, who works with children primarily from the south side of Milwaukee, said the influence of someone his age is more powerful than that of an adult to children in these situations. “I know what they’ve gone through. I’ve seen what they’ve

seen,” said Hernandez, a student in the College of Arts & Sciences. “I try to uplift them by showing them not only the instrumental value of education, but also the intrinsic value as well.” The panelists agreed that recognizing education in all its forms is necessary in reducing violent crime in the city. We live in a violent society, Johnson said, and children see violence on television, on the Internet and in the behavior of the adults around them. But Notestein said it is important to combat the prevalence of violence by teaching the children to think of the consequences of their actions. “We need to help them understand that their crimes harm others, their communities and ultimately themselves,” Notestein said. “Instead of, ‘I’m going to jail,’ we need to change the mentality to ‘I’m going to miss out on all these positive opportunities in life,’” Hernandez added. The violent crimes that occurred in the Riverwest neighborhood and at State Fair Park over the summer were discussed, and Flynn said the media is to blame for the contribution these bad situations have made to the reputation of Milwaukee as an unsafe city. “During the time those incidents were happening, we had 18,000 kids in the Safe & Sound Milwaukee program, but there’s no film on them,” he said. But there is the film on the CeaseFire program in Chicago, and Matthews hopes “The Interrupters” and the panel discussion will change the way people look at at-risk youths. These children aren’t simply lost causes, Matthews said. “They are thinking human beings who need to be given better opportunities and hope,” she said.

“The cuts made were only at this location,” he said. “We are growing and adding jobs nationwide. We are not in a reduction mode at all.

Davis supporters included Pope Benedict XVI, former President Jimmy Carter, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, former FBI Chief William S. Sessions, Sean “P.

Vigils were held in the U.S. and Europe, where people chanted, “I am Troy Davis” and wrote the phrase on signs and T-shirts.

Davis: All sides doubtful Inauguration: Pilarz begins presidency McAdams claimed very few of these activists read enough of the transcript and case to understand it in its entirety. “One in 1,000 activists read the transcript,” McAdams said. “They also get superficial media coverage with only one side getting attention. No one is asking what the real facts of the case are.” McAdams didn’t discount the people who are passionate about the case and signed petitions. “Those who signed petitions are sincere and want to see a change,” McAdams said. “It’s people like the Pope and Jimmy Carter who have not looked at the evidence and want to have a say.” Davis’ execution also elicited reaction from campus. Colleen Ross, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Science and member of JUSTICE, a social justice organization on campus that strictly opposes the death penalty, said what Davis went through was unjust and hailed the support he received from high places. “The work continuously done by people such as Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter contributes tremendously to the campaign for social justice,” Ross said. “Lending their voices against the Troy Davis execution is a positive step that helps reach beyond the usual audience to spread awareness of this injustice.”

Letter to the editor

Consider priorities for pages To the editors of The Marquette Tribune: Marquette’s campus was buzzing with so many good vibes last week due to all the events, including the events of Sexual Violence Awareness Week. When I picked up my copy of the Tribune on Tuesday, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that the Trib considered a story about a supposed drug bust in Schroeder paramount to these events. Furthermore, the name-dropping of the Schroeder Hall residents who have not yet been convicted may have been inappropriate. Even if it is decided in court that their charges should be dropped, the negative social stigma of having their name appear on the front page of the university newspaper for “suspected drug house” can never be dropped. That being said, I really would have liked to see a different focus this week. I do understand that Marquette takes its drug policy seriously (and rightly so), but considering the efforts that the Rev. Pilarz has already made towards campus awareness of sexual violence so early in his presidency, that may have been a more appropriate front page topic during this special week devoted to awareness. Thank you, Emily May College of Arts and Sciences, 2012 emily.may@marquette.edu

York (CUNY) in 1996. While president of the University of Scranton, and as a professor at Georgetown, Pilarz taught English. He said he hopes to do the same next semester at Marquette, perhaps 16th and 17th century British literature.

Pilarz said part of the Jesuit lifestyle is to move and make an impact elsewhere; he hopes to do so at Marquette.

New president tells his life and hopes for MU By Caroline Campbell

caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

The Rev. Scott Pilarz stood outside St. Joan of Arc chapel in late August 2011, observing his new home. “This is a really beautiful part of campus,” he said. “I think this is a surprise to people, too, because they assume that this is an urban campus. … It is a great setting.” The flowerbeds around the chapel were in full bloom — bright purples, yellows and reds. The sky was clear and the weather was warm for the beginning of another school year at Marquette. Pilarz, not a stranger to harsh climates, claimed he was ready for his first winter in Milwaukee. “The weather has been really perfect since I have been here,” Pilarz said. “I am coming from Scranton (Pa.), which is not exactly the tropics.”

Pilarz was raised Catholic. He attended a Catholic grade school and high school in New Jersey and went to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. for undergraduate studies. Although Pilarz’s resident assistant his freshman year of college later became a Jesuit and the president of Georgetown University, Pilarz himself did not decide to pursue Jesuit formation until his senior year. “I went to Georgetown as an undergrad, but I did not know what a Jesuit was, really,” Pilarz

said. “It was really just getting to know Jesuits at Georgetown as teachers and as people who lived in residence halls (that encouraged me to pursue Jesuit priesthood). I was really fascinated, too, because I had this experience of Jesuits doing a lot of different things.” Pilarz met Jesuits who were lawyers, physicians and politicians. At the time, the Rev. Robert Drinan, a Jesuit, was a congressional representative for Massachusetts. “I did not know priests could do all those different kinds of things, and that was really intriguing,” Pilarz said. “I just got the sense that these men seem really happy and enthusiastic and excited about what they are doing.” One could describe Pilarz himself in exactly those words.

Pilarz admits he did not consider entering the education profession while he was at Georgetown. “I was not a real serious undergraduate, academically,” he said. “I did OK, but I would never have imagined that I would grow up to be a professor when I was in college.” It was when he was teaching British Literature at Loyola High School in Baltimore from 1985 to 1988 as a Jesuit novitiate that he fell in love with the profession. His religious superior at the time, who was guiding him through the process of becoming a priest, suggested he return to school and pursue higher education as a career. Pilarz said he would have considered teaching high school for the rest of his life if he had not received the encouragement to go to graduate school.

“So I did it, and it’s been great ever since,” he said. Pilarz earned his masters in philosophy from Fordham University in New York in 1985, as well as additional degrees in theology and divinity from Weston Jesuit School of Theology in 1991 and 1992, and in English from City University of New

Pilarz is excited to get to know Marquette, and has already taken many steps to do so. He has had dinner with students and faculty and plans to do this often throughout the year. Pilarz lives in Campus Town East. He likes living in student housing and has been doing so for almost all of the past 20 years. “I think I can sleep through anything,” he said. This is not the first time Pilarz has had to adjust to a new place, though he did say he is not familiar with the Midwest at all. “I’m not nervous. There’s a lot of excitement about being in a new place and learning a new culture and getting to know a lot of people,” he said. Pilarz will definitely miss the friends he made at the University of Scranton but said he plans to keep in close contact with them. He also said he has “a real love for the Jersey Shore,” as the place where he was born and raised and has spent much of his life. “Jesuits move. That’s part of who we are,” Pilarz said. “One of the earliest Jesuits said, ‘Our

home is the road.’ So it’s good for us to pick up stakes and move and start fresh. There’s a lot of energy and excitement that comes with that.” Many people have noticed the energy Pilarz mentioned. Steve Frieder, assistant to the president and corporate secretary, said he is excited to work with the new president. “His high level of energy and enthusiasm for Marquette is really infectious. It’s fun,” Frieder said. Frieder said he respects that Pilarz “takes his job seriously, but doesn’t take himself too seriously.” He said the president has a great sense of humor and is a “vibrant and effective leader.” Abigail Searfoss, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, volunteered at the inauguration last week. She received an email asking for student volunteers and was excited at the opportunity. “I had really wanted to meet the president,” Searfoss said. “I felt I really liked the guy.” Searfoss is impressed with Pilarz’s efforts to get to know students. She likes the many emails he has sent to students already, and that he lives in campus housing. Searfoss also lives in Campus Town East. “I’ve been tempted to find his room,” she said, laughing. “But that might be awkward.” “You should ask him for an egg!” said her roommate from down the hall. “Or a muffin pan. We need one of those,” Searfoss joked. Though Searfoss was not able to attend the inauguration because

There are many things Pilarz hopes to do in his first few months at Marquette. One of his main goals is learning what daily student, faculty and staff life is like at Marquette. “I’m looking forward to getting to know people and doing a lot of listening and learning,” Pilarz said. “There is no substitute for actually being here on the ground and establishing relationships and getting a better feel for the place. … This is a really thoughtful community, and people are engaged and aware of what is going on. One of the great things about Marquette is that everybody has a sense of ownership about it. I have not met anybody who is disinterested or disengaged.” He is also excited for basketball season. Though he has been taking hits from some of his Georgetown friends, he laughed when asked which team he will support when the Hoyas and the Golden Eagles face off on the basketball court. “I know where I live now,” he said.

Carlson ‘bull’ies South Florida for Big East win

Middle hitter named to honor roll for first time By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

A week ago, senior outside hitter Ciara Jones dominated the left side in a five-set loss (3-2) to Minnesota, tallying 24 kills and finishing with a .432 hitting percentage. Sunday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center, Danielle Carlson took her turn in the spotlight. The junior middle hitter tied a career-high with 15 kills and added four blocks in Marquette’s four-set win over South Florida (5-9, 1-1 Big East) to open Big East play, en route to a nomination to the Big East Honor Roll. Senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer had a double-double with a team-high 16 kills and 18 digs while freshman setter Chelsea Heier added 53 assists. But it was Carlson who led the Golden Eagles (10-4, 1-0 Big East) with an array of well-placed kills and booming spikes off South Florida miscues. “It doesn’t look real flashy at times, but she’s really just skilled at shot making, placing the ball correctly and, at times,

just thundering it,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “So it’s nice to have her in full rhythm as we get into conference play.” Carlson shook off a slow start by tallying nine of her 15 kills in the third and fourth sets. The junior put together a crucial stretch in the third set with a kill, a block and a kill on successive possessions to give the Golden Eagles a three-point advantage. South Florida defenders made life difficult for Jones and Beyer, who combined to hit just .182, but Carlson’s play helped counter-act that outside pressure from the Bulls. “I think that what’s really good about our team is if the outside swing isn’t working as well we have the right side and our middles that can take care of business,” Carlson said. “Our attack is so dynamic that it’s alright if one position isn’t totally on. We can get the other two positions going.” Beyer said Carlson’s presence was a key factor in the win. “It’s a relief to us outside when somebody else can handle you and help you out,” Beyer said. “When Danie gets on a roll, then they go on her, and we’re oneon-one. So it’s a relief to us and we can keep playing the way we know we can play.” The co-captain made the transition from outside hitter to

middle hitter in the offseason, filling the enormous shoes left by All-American Rabbecka Gonyo, who was third in the nation in hitting percentage a year ago. Carlson welcomed the position change and has made the transition in stride. For those who were quick to write off the middle hitter position following Gonyo’s gradua-

tion, Carlson has turned doubters into believers. She leads the Big East in hit percentage (.394) and is second on the team with 39 blocks, including a teamhigh nine solo blocks. Marquette exacted a bit of revenge with the win, as the Bulls had defeated the Golden Eagles in their last two Big East openers. Carlson said that motivation

pushed her and the team to begin conference play with a tally in the win column. “We wanted to beat USF,” she said. “We remember the last two years where we lost to them in our first Big East match, and that wasn’t going to happen again. We were determined to just get it done.”

Column

It’s time for a new trending topic Andrei Greska This is not another “why doesn’t Marquette have a football team” column. There have been enough of those. As awesome as it would be to have someone to root for on Saturday afternoons without having to betray the essence of being a Golden Eagle fan — I’m talking to you, Bucky fans — it ain’t happening. Yet, not having a pigskin-throwing team doesn’t have to bar us from enjoying some of the benefits of football season. I want the pageantry. I want the passion. I want the school spirit. I’m talking about a homecoming game. Obviously it’s difficult to have a homecoming football game without a football team — sorry club football, you don’t count. We do have a women’s volleyball team though. And both men’s and women’s soccer teams. Most importantly, we have basketball. Really good basketball. I propose we make Marquette Madness, Oct. 14, our “homecoming game.” This is something we need. Our student body is pathetic at supporting our teams. Whether it’s volleyball at the Al McGuire Center, soccer at Valley Fields or basketball at the Bradley Center, we are consistently underwhelming. We

fail to provide a proper home court advantage to our teams. Just this past weekend, the women’s soccer team played No. 20/24 Notre Dame, the defending national champions, and only 395 people were in attendance. How many of those were students? Probably about 50, given how well Notre Dame fans travel. It wasn’t any better at the Al either. As the women’s volleyball team devastated the South Florida Bulls, all of 240 people were in attendance. Of those people, I could count on my hands the number of students there and four of them were covering the game for this newspaper. It’s almost embarrassing seeing the apathetic nature of our fans. Both teams are very good this year and have a chance of winning Big East titles. Yet, less than 100 combined students bothered to go watch. Marquette needs an event to bring the student body out of its doldrums. Marquette Madness is packed year after year, so why not add a little excitement to that whole week? At Western Illinois, student groups and organizations compete against each other during the homecoming week in a variety of events, including attendance at games, dance-offs and boat races. During the fill-the-gym event for a women’s volleyball game, Western Illinois packed 826 people for the game, a whopping 639 more than its average attendance before then. We could do that. Easily.

Freshman finds a home

Nortey taken in by family from Chicago area By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu

Editor’s note: This is the second part of a two-part profile on freshman James C. Nortey. For the first part, check the Tribune’s website. Hotchkiss School was supposed to be C. Nortey’s only home. He traveled from the Right to Dream Academy in Accra, Ghana, to study and play soccer at the Connecticut boarding school. Nortey was destined to live in the isolation of dorm life on a new continent. But Jack Dickinson had other ideas. Dickinson was Nortey’s nextdoor neighbor and best friend when the two were freshmen in 2007. Thanksgiving break of that year, Dickinson — now a freshman at Duke — invited Nortey to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family after hearing that Nortey would otherwise spend the break at Hotchkiss. English was still a struggle for Nortey at the time and he

couldn’t speak fluently. He couldn’t express himself. But Dickinson said everything Nortey needed said. He served as Nortey’s translator until Nortey, who spoke Ga, the local language in Accra, and Twi, the regional language, became comfortable enough with English, by the end of sophomore year. Nortey made an instant impact on members of the Dickinson family. They liked him. He liked them. And they gave Nortey an open invitation to come back to their home whenever he wanted. Dan Dickinson, Jack’s father, said the family didn’t know where the relationship would go or what it would turn into. But what it turned into was a relationship that would alter the lives of all involved. Nortey proceeded to spend every break he could with the Dickinson family. “When you cut through it all, he is a great person to be with,” Dan Dickinson said. “We have four kids and every one of our kids embraced him. We talked about it as a family about how lucky we are to have him as part of our family.” On a scale of one to 10, with 10 being most important, Nortey ranked the Dickinson

family as a 10, because upon his arrival at Hotchkiss, he “had nobody.” “Right now, they get me. They get everything that I’m about,” Nortey said. “They’re trying their best to let my dreams come true for me. And I’m not relying on them to do everything for me. But I know they are there for me. If I hit the wall, and I cannot go anymore, they are there to help me out.” While Nortey was not provided an actual host family through either the Right to Dream Academy or Hotchkiss, he said the See Home, page 16

They still believe: MU takes out Irish once again

Women extend winning streak at the Valley to 16 By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Take care of business at home. That seems to be the mantra for the Marquette women’s soccer team (10-2-0, 3-1-0 Big East) this year. The Golden Eagles beat DePaul 2-1 Thursday and defending national champion Notre Dame 3-2 Sunday, both in overtime, to vault into sole possession of second place in the American Division of the Big East conference. Sunday’s win was particularly impressive considering the treacherous conditions from overnight rain that pervaded throughout the match. The game began under threatening skies and opened up about halfway through the first half, leading to many slippages from both teams, making even the most mundane tasks like dribbling and passing difficult. “I think we got used to it, but there were a bunch of slips and misplays,” sophomore midfielder Taylor Madigan said. “But the conditions were the same for both teams.” Madigan ripped a shot off the outstretched hand of junior goalkeeper Maddie Fox into the net just 18 seconds into the first overtime period to beat Notre Dame (4-5-1, 1-2-1 Big East) for just the second time in program history. The win gave the Golden Eagles their fourth overtime victory in as many opportunities this season and pushed its unbeaten home winning streak to 16 games. “It keeps our spirit up. We definitely needed this game and this win,” sophomore forward Maegan Kelly said. “It’s just a push going forward in the season.” Thursday, Marquette found itself in a closer game than expected entering the night, having to get a few lucky breaks from the crossbar before freshman forward Mady Vicker took a perfect pass from sophomore midfielder Brittney Scott and finished low past the Blue Demons goalkeeper. DePaul (2-7-2, 0-2-2 Big East) came into the game 2-1-1 in its last four games after dropping its first five and put a big scare into Marquette. Kelly scored her 10th goal of the season just six minutes into the match, but DePaul got the equalizer from Morgan Celaya

in the 71st minute and had a few opportunities to get a potential game-winner before Vicker’s goal. “We really dominated the first half but didn’t necessarily have a lot of chances in the second half,” coach Markus Roeders said following Thursday’s game. “The tying goal was a little unfortunate, but in the last eight or so minutes of regulation, we really stepped up and continued it into overtime.” After Kelly’s goal in the 66th minute of the Notre Dame match, Marquette improved to 15-0-0 alltime. The final outcome was in doubt after the Fighting Irish’s Jessica Schuveiller blasted a perfect shot from 35 yards out that the outstretched arms of senior goalkeeper Natalie Kulla had no chance of saving. Schuveiller’s goal tied the game at 2-2 and set up Madigan’s goal in overtime. Even with key injuries to sophomore defender Megan Jaskowiak and senior forward Lindsey Page, Marquette’s depth proved insurmountable when Madigan’s golden goal improved Marquette’s record to 21-10-5 when playing National Division foes. “We’ve had some injuries but have a lot of great depth, and it’s good for some of the younger players to get some experience,” Roeders said.

Topic: Get Wade to MU Madness

Photo courtesy of Marquette Athletics

Sophomore Taylor Madigan scored the game-winner against Notre Dame.

There are three games the week of Madness beginning with women’s volleyball and soccer on Sunday, Oct. 9, and followed by men’s soccer that Wednesday. Create incentives for these groups to attend, and I guarantee increased attendance figures. On top of that, let’s get a common theme running through the school. During the Sweet 16 run last spring, the three-goggles became a Marquette symbol. Students, athletes and alumni all embraced it. His Majesty Dwyane Wade was asked to come to Madness by senior guard Darius Johnson-Odom on Twitter, and we’re running with it. I propose a hashtag that our basketball blog “Paint Touches” origi-

nated as our theme: #bringwadetomadness. Anyone with a Twitter or Facebook account, which should cover 99.9 percent of the student population, must use the hashtag at least once a day starting now. Once we get enough people in on it, we will begin to coordinate tweet times with the ultimate goal of getting it to trend nationally and having Wade come to Madness. Homecoming will only be considered a success if we can get Flash to show up. The gauntlet has been thrown. You truly want the “football experience,” then put your Tweets where your mouth is. We are Marquette, and we can make this happen. #bringwadetomadness andrei.greska@marquette.edu

The team now has three weeks off before heading to the ITA Midwest Regional Championship tournament in Columbus, Ohio.

in the first round which got me down a little bit, but I only missed one green on the first hole,” Konieczki said. “I feel like I just have to know I can win (today) and go out and shoot the lowest score possible.” Coach Steve Bailey said he was proud of the way Konieczki played and is confident that his team can make a run at a high tournament finish today. “If we can get our one and two guys to post good scores (today) and get those other three guys to show up then I think we have a good shot of making our way up the leaderboard,” Bailey said. A top-ten finish in the 18team field would be a welcomed boost to the young Golden Eagles after a disappointing 10th place finish out of 11 teams in last weekend’s season-opening tournament.

The tournament was shortened to 36 holes due to weather issues, but Bailey said that it didn’t affect his game plan or preparation for the second and final round of the tournament. “Typically in the final round a lot of the hole locations are a lot more difficult, and we don’t need to press or be too aggressive,” he said. “We just need to play smart golf, and I think if we do that the rest will take care of itself.” Freshman C.J. Swift shot a 73, Marquette’s second best score of the round, to finish in a 10-player tie for 22nd on the individual leaderboard. Swift said that he had faith in senior Matt Haase and sophomore Michael Motz to come through in the final round after what he described as uncharacteristically bad starts.

“Matt Haase and Michael Motz are usually the backbone of our team, so it was really surprising to see them both shoot 77s,” Swift said. “I know they both have really good game and they can easily turn it around tomorrow, finish a couple under par and get us right back in it.” Bailey said last weekend Marquette’s short game needed much improvement, and the team took some steps towards improvement in the first round. “I think our iron play was a lot better today, but we didn’t get as many opportunities short game-wise,” Bailey said. “Matt Haase converted on two out of three opportunities and I think most of the guys putted well. I think if we can keep that going it will bode well for tomorrow and will really continue to serve us all season.”

Men’s Tennis brief The Marquette men’s tennis team competed in the Tom Fallon Invitational this past weekend at Notre Dame, with most of the team’s success in doubles matches. Although the tandem of freshman Cameron Tehrani and sophomore Thibault Troude was the only one to win on Sunday, three out of four teams earned victories on both Friday and Saturday. On both days the tandems of junior Otavio Perim and freshman James Stark, senior Drake Kakar and freshman David Packowitz and senior Jonathan Schwerin and freshman Vukasin Teofanovic defeated teams from Notre Dame, Western Michigan and Illinois State respectively. Freshmen shined in singles with Stark, Tehrani and Teofanovic leading the team with straight set victories on Sunday. Perim also joined them, collecting a win over Western Michigan. Perim experienced his first match loss this season after posting a perfect 3-0 record at the Milwaukee Classic (Sept. 16-18). Schwerin, the team’s only competing senior, posted two singles victories before falling short on Sunday. The tournament featured Illinois State, Western Michigan, Notre Dame, Marquette and Cleveland State.

October 8th 11am-2pm

Sept. 29 2006 He was the greatest player to ever don the blue and gold. And this was the day he was immortalized. It was announced that Dwyane Wade, the current Miami Heat superstar who led the Golden Eagles to the the Final Four in 2003 and won an NBA championship in 2006, would have his No. 3 jersey retired by the university. It seemed fitting that the retiring of Wade’s number would break some of the rules. It had been Marquette precedent that only players who actually graduated would be eligible to have their number retired, but obviously

Wade was a special circumstance. He had just come off, arguably, one of the greatest NBA Finals performance of all-time, averaging 34.7 points and 7.8 rebounds a game, while earning the Finals MVP award. His dominance since coming into the league thrust Marquette into the national spotlight and helped push the basketball program into elite territory. So if history was to be rewritten for any player, it was going to be Wade. His jersey was retired on Feb. 3, during a home game against Providence. And now his legendary No. 3 dangles from the rafters for all the world to see.

Continued from page 12:

Home: Dickinsons embraced Nortey as one of their own

natural bond that was formed with the Dickensons earns them that title. In return, the Dickinsons have embraced him as one of their own. “We’re fortunate to have him as part of our family,” Dan

Dickinson said. “Through all his challenges, this kid has incredible optimism, incredible fortitude and character and ability and perseverance. It’s really inspirational.”

Freshman forward C. Nortey was named Big East freshman of the week after scoring two goals against Syracuse in the Big East opener.
