Walker gains 7-point lead in Law Poll Governor campaigns heat up with national guests speakers, tours By Ryan McCarthy & McKenna Oxenden
ryan.w.mccarthy@marquette.edu mckenna.oxenden@marquette.edu
Republican Gov. Scott Walker gained a 7-point lead among likely voters over Democratic challenger Mary Burke according to the final Marquette Law Poll before next week’s election. Poll Director Charles Franklin announced Walker’s 50to-43 percent advantage over Burke among likely voters — with a 3-point margin of error — at an “On the Issues” event with Mike Gousha Wednesday. Among registered voters, Walker maintains a 46-to-45 percent advantage over Burke. Burke and Walker were tied with 47 percent of likely voters when the previous poll was released two week ago. While polls show important trends, Franklin stressed that “polls don’t vote, people do.” He later said voter turnout will likely decide the election. REVIEWING THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL The poll was announced while both parties were revving up their campaigns for the last week. President Barack Obama spoke at Milwaukee’s North Division High School Tuesday, as a final push of support for Burke. Around 3,500 people crowded into the school’s gymnasium to hear Obama encourage them to vote. The president focused on job growth and criticized the job performance of Burke’s opponent, incumbent Gov. Scott Walker. Other speakers included Democratic candidate for attorney general, Susan Happ, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, Mayor Tom Barrett and Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis).

DPS, MUSG work to develop safety app University leaders aim to implement mobile alert app by January
By Julia Pagliarulo
julia.pagliarulo@marquette.edu
Marquette Student Government and the Department of Public Safety are working together to implement a new way keep students safe: a free mobile app called BlueLight. The app alerts DPS if it is used by a student on campus, but automatically switches to alerting the police if the person uses it outside of those boundaries. On Android phones, the call button is on the lock screen of the phone to provide easy access in case of an emergency. Additionally, the app allows users to program their emergency contacts into it, and Blue Light
Safety alerts these contacts through a text message whenever the user requests help. It also has a function called “on my way” that lets users select any contact in their phone to receive a notification that a person is on their way from one location to another. “Anyone can download this app and use it in the Marquette area and it works great,” MUSG President Kyle Whelton said. BlueLight is still in the Beta testing phase for Android users, and needs to prepare a build for Apple’s IOS7 and IOS8. As of now, the app isn’t available on the lock screen for those phones. “We will not endorse anything that isn’t fully functional for both users,” Whelton said. He also said that the university’s general council is reviewing the app and has not yet made a decision on it. A
decision from the university is expected before January. Marquette did some focus groups about students’ safety on campus, and it was almost unanimous that they wanted some kind of safety app on their phone, Whelton said. Katherine Berigan, a DPS lieutenant, said she wants to give students as many options to contact DPS as possible. “We know students love using technology and their smart phones,” Berigan said. “I hope it encourages people to contact DPS if something doesn’t seem right. We want them to be comfortable contacting us.”
Preet Anand, an alumnus of Santa Clara University, created BlueLight to promote safety on college campuses. MUSG and DPS met with Anand in September as part of a search to find a safety app to install at Marquette. MUSG and DPS explored other safety application options, but BlueLight is an app for both students and the university. Katherine Berigan, One of the the DPS lieutenant options, Rave Mobile Safety app, would cost $2,000 for initial installation and $6,000 in annual operation cost, covered indirectly through tuition costs.
I hope (the app) encourages people to contact DPS if something doesn’t seem right.We want them to be comfortable contacting us.”

Law Poll: Obama arrives in MKE to stump for Burke “Wisconsin lags the rest of the country,” Obama said at the event. “The country as a whole is doing better. Wisconsin is not doing so good. Over the next week, you have the chance to change that.” Burke proposed raising the minimum wage during her fiveminute introduction for the president, and criticized Walker for “standing in the way” of the legislation. She said raising the minimum wage would “reduce the tax burden on those being squeezed.” Obama is the latest national figure coming to Milwaukee to stump for Burke, following up on visits over the past weeks from First Lady Michelle Obama and former President Bill Clinton. Walker, on the other hand, is in the middle of a 10-day tour throughout areas of the state,
with campaign support coming from figures like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis). While talking to reporters during a campaign stop in Mayville, Wis., Walker said he is trying to keep his campaign as state-based as possible, Politico reported. “We’re not looking for surrogates,” Walker said. “The people that have been campaigning with me are by and large from Wisconsin.” WALKER’S LEAD Franklin referenced changes in intention to vote as a factor for the widening gap between Walker and Burke. He said more Walker supporters plan to vote than Burke supporters. According to the poll, 93 percent of Republicans are

Estimated damage to the vehicle is $300. Oct. 39 A student reported being sexually assaulted between 2 and 5 a.m. on Oct. 26 by an unknown subject at an unknown off campus location. MPD was contacted.

“certain to vote” compared to 82 percent of Democrats. This is an 11 percent gain for Republicans since the last poll. Franklin ended the presentation by illustrating the partisan divide between Burke and Walker supporters. He displayed a chart that showed large divides between the groups on almost every issue. The only two issues that both groups agreed on is creating a casino in Kenosha and making first offense drunk driving a
criminal misdemeanor. Although the Supreme Court blocked implementation of Wisconsin’s voter ID law, 60 percent of Wisconsin voters still support requiring photo identification to vote. “We end the year as we began it,” Franklin said, “with a sharply divided electorate.” The Law School conducted the latest poll between Oct. 23 and 26, surveying 1,409 registered voters of which 1164 are likely to vote.

MATC to continue successful EMT course at MU Emergency medical technician course offered next semester By Devi Shastri
devi.shastri@marquette.edu
Following a successful first semester of Marquette’s emergency medical technician class, the College of Health Sciences decided it will offer the course again in the spring. The course is offered through Milwaukee Area Technical College but is taught on
Marquette’s campus. The basic EMT course allows students to be EMT certified, after which they can work with an ambulance company, a hospital or in another capacity. “I think one of the benefits for any student interested in a future career in health care or health sciences is that the course is a valuable way to get relevant experience and the clinical hours required of applicants to many health science professional programs,” said William Cullinan, dean of the College of Health Sciences. Applying to professional school, such as a physician’s
assistant program, requires applicants to have extensive patient contact hours to either remain competitive or even apply. Due to the availability of this new class, Marquette students with EMT certification are able to work in healthcare environment to gain valuable skills and hours that they would not gain in traditional classes. “The experience that I’ve had as an EMT is my continual motivation to keep pursuing my path as a PA,” said Kate Barelli, MUSG senator for the College of Health Sciences, who spearheaded the project. “Because (biomedical sciences)
can be rigorous, it’s helpful to have a clear vision that what we’re working toward will be worth it.” According to the MATC’s curriculum for the class, students will learn a broad variety of skills, such as taking vital signs, learning different types of medical assessment and airway management. They will also be trained to respond to emergency situations from heart attacks and allergic reactions to trauma. Barelli worked with the College of Health Sciences and MATC for about a year to get the course available on campus.

Supplies, such as CPR equipment and AED (heart defibrillators) were expensive. Ultimately, Marquette bought some of its own while the rest of the supplies came from the MATC. The university plans on purchasing its own equipment over time provided the long-term success of the class. Mike Bova, MATC’s EMT instructional chairperson at the Oak Creek campus, said he is happy with the success. “We were able to offer EMT training to the next generation of healthcare providers of MU,” he said.

Dia De Los Muertos brings Mexico to Milwaukee Walker Square Park hosts Day of the Dead parade, celebration
By Stephanie Harte
stephanie.harte@marquette.edu
The fifth annual Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) parade will be held this Saturday, Nov. 1 to celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed away. The parade and events are free to the public and take place from noon to 5 p.m. in the Walker Square Park neighborhood. Day of the Dead celebrations date back to pre-Colombian times and feature ofrendas (offerings) which are meant to both honor the deceased and bring the loved one’s spirit back for a short period of time. Colorful masks, costumes, dancing and music are also used to honor their spirits. A mission of the celebration is to bring peace to the community through leading everyone affected by death and violence together. All activities during Los Dias De Los Muertos are dedicated to loved ones lost, including eating their favorite foods. Celeste Contreras has been organizing the parade for the last
5 years. She wanted to bring Los Dias De Los Muertos to Milwaukee in order to honor the city’s active Mexican community. She could not justify cities with a limited Mexican population already having a parade while Milwaukee did not. Along with organizing the Dia De Los Muertos celebration, Contreras conducts workshops on how to make masks, puppets, skull shakers and ofrendas throughout the year. The Milwaukee parade changes annually, growing in size. Due to popular demand, Dia De Los Muertos festivities moved from Friday to Saturday this year to accommodate guests who work during the week. The parade route lasts about a mile and has drawn hundreds of participants to march in previous years. An opening ceremony precedes the parade with face painting and crafts, courtesy of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Home Depot will also be contributing to the event by helping kids build wooden ofrendas. The parade will begin at 2 p.m., and anyone is invited to march. People who volunteer to be in the parade are encouraged to wear their craziest clothing or even a Halloween costume. In years past, people

have carried photos or ofrendas to honor someone who has passed away. Large puppets and marching bands are featured in the parade as well. The Walker’s Point Center for the Arts (WPCA) sponsors Milwuakee’s Dia De Los Muertos and funds the Aztec dancers who will be performing as one of the closing events. Aztec dance provides a way to preserve the Mexican culture through a native tradition. In ancient times, Aztec dance
provided a way for the people to advance their survival and honor their gods. The Aztec people danced so the sun god would appear each day, allowing crops to flourish. The dancers serve as an imperative addition to the parade due to all the history guests can learn from the performance. A vigil for peace led by All Peoples Church concludes the day’s activities. In order to raise money for the parade and events, the WPCA auctioned off ofrendas last Saturday,
Oct. 25. Contreras made about 500 mini wooden ofrendas for local artists to decorate. The ofrendas took her two years to build. The Dia De Los Muertos parade provides Milwaukeeans with a unique alternative to the typical Halloweekend activities. Although both Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos involve eating sweets and wearing costumes, Dia De Los Muertos is truly dedicated to honoring and welcoming the spirits of the deceased.
Terrible Netflix Picks: “Return to Horror High” By Jack Taylor
jack.taylor@marquette.edu
A character in the movie said it best: “Why does everybody always want to go into a dark basement without a flashlight?” That is the million-dollar question. “Return to Horror High” is the definition of a B-movie. It consists of nothing more than a low budget, a ridiculous script and horrendous acting. The film, directed by Bill Froehlich, takes place at a high school five years after an infamous series of murders occur at the same location. One of the opening shots reveals a team of filmmakers lying dead on the high school lawn as we see ambulances, police cars and police officers questioning a survivor of the film crew. Through his accounts, the movie flashes back to the days prior to explain how the filmcrew winds up in body bags. The crew initially decides to make a movie on-location depicting the murders based on the police reports from five years ago, but they end up dead themselves. So, yes: it is a movie about people investigating the murders of people making a movie portraying murders. Very confusing. We first get a glimpse from what appears to be a few days earlier as filming is about to begin. All runs smoothly throughout the production until cast and crew members mysteriously start “disappearing”
from the set. It takes an incredibly long time for anybody on set to realize others are missing. Little do the cast and crew know that the original murderer from five years ago is still on the loose in the high school halls. Production members start dropping like flies as they fall victim to the killer. The first to go is a young George Clooney playing a character with a minuscule role. It is a shame the character dies off so quickly, considering Clooney delivers the best performance of any actor in the film by a long-shot. The murderer lurks the halls of the set and appears to strike down cast and crew members one by one. That goes on for about 90 percent of the film, thus making the plot rather predictable and dreadfully boring. The movie ends with a surprising twist, but even this doesn’t save the film’s already deteriorated credibility. “Return to Horror High” was created with an extremely low budget. The film could not afford the widescreen ratio and the quality of acting is not exactly of high cost either. The picture’s acting consists of cheaply unconvincing dialogue between lackluster characters with no chemistry. The script gives the film’s leading actress (Lori Lethin) an unnecessary sex scene, and even that is hardly convincing. It is difficult to blame the actors all that much because the script did not really give them much
to work with. “Return to Horror High’s” screenplay belongs more in a modern video game than it does in a film. Lines are weak and the story is even weaker. A plot that tries to get too clever with itself ends up twisted and garbled, creating a very confusing movie. Characterization is terrible, there is no audience-to-character chemistry, and quite frankly, there is no emotional effect when we see a character get killed. That brings us to the next point. The special effects, given that this picture was released in 1987 after the George Lucas breakthrough, are horrendous. Murder scenes come across as comedy. Particularly laugh-worthy are the two beheading scenes depicted on screen. Along with the poor visuals come even worse sound effects. The sound effects are cheap and extremely distracting. Whenever there is blood in the room, the ambient noise becomes filled with slushing noises that were inserted at way too high a volume. The audio is all-around muffled and the additions of lowend sound effects and an obnoxious synthesized musical score honestly make the picture worse. Do yourselves a favor by not watching “Return to Horror High” this Halloween. Devote the extra 95 minutes to something more enjoyable. The only way enjoyment comes out of this movie is if a large group of people watch it together. Laughs are guaranteed,

but the movie’s plot holes and predictability make it a bore. Sometimes we watch films that are so terrible that they are good. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Any viewer will find themselves scratching their
head after the movie ends. Quite honestly, the best part of this picture came when the final credits began to role.

HALLoween-like programs key to MU and MKE bond
Photo by Mykl Novak/mykl.novak@marquette.edu
Children in costume, led by Marquette volunteers, trick-or-treat outside Cudahy Hall.
Our view: By sponsoring more events such as HALLoween throughout the year, Marquette can build stronger ties with the surrounding Milwaukee community. On Wednesday, campus residence halls became a candy haven for local Milwaukee children as Marquette’s Residence Hall Association put on its 17th annual HALLoween. The event offers a safe space in the community for local youth, led by student volunteers, to show off their costumes while trick-or-treating through the halls. Each year, the event draws hundreds of children with their parents from the area, including the Avenues West neighborhood directly surrounding Marquette. During his inauguration, University President Michael Lovell announced his plans to collaborate with the Avenues West neighborhood, in the hopes of transforming the area we share into “a destination where people want to live and work.” Of course, Marquette must be well-acquainted with the neighborhood if it expects this collaboration to result in increased safety and livability in the future. HALLoween is one of the most visible displays of Marquette’s connection with the neighboring community. Programs such as HALLoween help foster this sense of familiarity. Aside from the undeniable cuteness of miniature Snow Whites and Buzz Lightyears swarming campus for a day, the event is key to maintaining the bond between the university and the city. It allows students and local residents to interact with one another and feel like a part of the same community, challenging the notorious idea of the “Marquette Bubble.” For community service and philanthropic work, Marquette tends to send its students away from campus, whether it is to project sites across the city via Hunger Clean-Up or to sites across the nation via Marquette Action Program trips. However, HALLoween allows the community to come to Marquette, making service something that occurs not only
outside our campus borders, but within them as well. Parents are always looking to provide their children with fun and safe activities, especially in an urban environment. Offering recreational programs on campus allows Marquette to meet this need by helping families make vital happy memories together. In light of HALLoween’s consistent success, it may be time to consider expanding the initiative and holding similar community events on campus throughout the year, rather than just each October. The possibilities for programs are endless. In keeping with the holiday theme, for example, why not offer a campus-wide Easter egg hunt in the spring semester, or invite the wider Milwaukee community to take part in the December Miracle on Central Mall event? Events could also be modeled on the interests of Marquette students, who can take part and share their knowledge and ability with others. RHA is not the only organization that can plan events for students and neighborhood communities, of course. Others, such as Late Night Marquette, Greek Life and MUSG, could collaborate with the administration to establish fun and safe programs open to families in neighboring communities. While the initiative benefits the surrounding community the most, it also has some positives for Marquette as well. By opening our campus to the community, Marquette will inevitably feel more familiar to community members as they continue to visit. The university can be more than a four-year, degree-conferring institution if it takes an active and inviting role within the community. Such initiatives would prove we are a vital and approachable resource that is an active member of the greater Milwaukee community. The successes of the HALLoween program are commendable, and it would benefit the university and the community to see similar programs going on throughout the year.
After several listening sessions and evaluating outcomes, Marquette commissioned the Department of Public Safety to be a well-regulated band of mighty Spartan warriors. The power was originally given to the university after Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill into law in April saying DPS could be a police force or, in tiny, fine print, a well-regulated band of mighty Spartan warriors. University President Michael Lovell said this move will allow DPS to collect alcohol fines directly, as they will enforce them on horseback with swords. “We feel this is the best way to strengthen the department moving forward,” Lovell said in a news release. “The mission of DPS will remain the same – to keep our students safe and defeat Xerxes.” DPS Chief Paul Mascari reiterated his position that these new powers will help enable DPS to effectively do its job. “Our officers rely heavily on the Milwaukee Police Department to handle things that can only be handled by a
police officer or a well-regulated band of mighty Spartan Warriors,” Mascari said. “Having to go through MPD and not having war elephants to help with intoxicated students definitely sets us back.” Training costs for officers to become well-regulated mighty Spartan warriors is not yet known, but training will need to take place somewhere near the Aegean Sea, or possibly in the ROTC gymnasium. The training will be led by Darius the Great and Callahan the Interim. The Turnip also learned that Mascari was chosen to be the permanent chief because of his experience fighting in the Greco-Persian Wars in 449 BC.

Mall sale can spur revitalization efforts
Matt Gozun A few months ago, I went to Grand Avenue Mall to help my international roommates obtain American cell phone plans. I checked out the offers at T-Mobile and Boost Mobile, but spent at least 10 minutes walking around the mall looking for the Verizon store. It turns out Verizon vacated the mall a while ago and Grand Avenue seemingly forgot to update its directory map. As for the mall itself, Grand Avenue’s decline in recent years has been similarly quiet. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the mall has changed owners three times in the last ten years. In the most recent transaction, concluded last week, the mall was sold for $16.5 million to a still-unknown buyer. In 2005, Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp. paid $31.7 million for it, only to lose it in a foreclosure auction in 2012. Now, with new owners, Grand Avenue has the chance to reform itself and reverse its fortunes. The Great Recession of 2008 hit Grand Avenue hard, but it is important to note that the mall struggled even when the economy was in good shape. By 2009, the mall was half-empty, having lost important retailers such as Old Navy. While I have no experience with Milwaukee prior to my arrival at Marquette in 2011, newspaper articles and online comments sections all seem to agree that Grand Avenue was once a thriving retail and dining destination.
Its current state is indeed a tragedy, as it reflects Milwaukee’s decline as a major American city. In 1960, Milwaukee had a population of 741,324. In 2013, that number was only 599,164. Much of the area’s wealth has moved to the suburbs, and this is reflected in the establishments Grand Avenue is supposedly competing against. Malls like Mayfair and Southridge benefit from large amounts of parking, ample space for retailers and close proximity to consumers. Unless one lives nearby, there is pretty much no reason to make the drive all the way downtown and deal with city parking when one can go to a suburban mall instead. Grand Avenue’s new owners, whoever they are, should realize where their new property is and capitalize on its location rather than try to place a piece of suburbia in the middle of the city. In doing so, the owners could work with city officials to chart a new direction for downtown. Milwaukee has spent the past few years trying to raise its profile and attract tourism. The mall’s location on Wisconsin Avenue, close to the convention center, BMO-Harris Bradley Center and possibly the Bucks’ new arena, is perfect for visitors. When tourists come to a city, they want to see what makes it unique and interesting. Why go to the T.J. Maxx in Milwaukee when there is one back home? Attractions like the Public Market and the quirky little shops and restaurants dotting the Third Ward helped revitalize that part of the city. Why not extend that treatment to Grand Avenue? Its large space could easily be transformed into a bazaar similar to Boston’s Faneuil Hall and become a center for community events, especially during Milwaukee’s harsh winter months. Alternatively, the new owners could decide to help with the city’s
revitalization efforts. Milwaukee’s population decline leveled out, and the city has seen a slight growth in the last few years. A recent social trend is the move by young people back into the cities, and Milwaukee is no exception. The new Grand Avenue could cater to the needs of the people actually living in the surrounding area by bringing in sorely needed goods and services. For instance, for people living in the Avenues West neighborhood, the closest grocery store Metro Market, is more than two miles away. The area surrounding Marquette and the Third Ward are two areas that would be well served by a grocery store, and Grand Avenue’s location on Wisconsin Avenue would make a store there easy to reach by bus. Other stores, such as Target or Wal-Mart, could similarly provide the community with convenient access to a variety of products that are otherwise available an hour away by bus. The current tenants offer goods that attract neither tourists nor are essential to the health of the community. The addition of more general goods stores would help to further attract residents, who are concerned more about where they can get produce and toilet paper than they are about tennis shoes and dress shirts. Grand Avenue has the potential to be a major part of Milwaukee’s comeback. Whether this is through increasing the city’s tourism profile, or through reaching out to its local population, the mall on Wisconsin Avenue should be more than just a couple of disjointed shops and a food court. Hopefully, with new ownership, Grand Avenue will once again live up to its name. Matt Gozun is a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, studying biology and economics.

The Halloween game has become a tradition for the Marquette club hockey team, where the biggest attendance of the year dresses up in costumes for the Friday night game.
Golden Ealges face off against rival in yearly Halloween matchup By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
Mix a bunch of hockey loving college students with a bevy of crazy costumes and the general excitement of Halloween and you get what every member of the Marquette club hockey team agrees is the most exhilarating game of the season. The annual Halloween home matchup pits the Golden Eagles (11-5-1) against a Robert Morris-Peoria Eagles (3-3-0) team looking to avenge getting swept last season. Entering his fourth Halloween campaign, senior captain
Matt Vuoncino summarized what the Halloween game atmosphere is like from a player’s perspective. “Just walking out under the stands full of rowdy students gets you going,” Vuoncino said. “From a captain’s perspective, I don’t have to do much to get the guys hyped. Friday night games when buses are running, we get solid crowds and they’re into the game, but Halloween night is always on its own level. The fans have been talking it up and the players are ready to rock.” Head coach Will Jurgensen described the growth of the Halloween games and echoed similar sentiment to Vuoncino. “We got two buses for our sophomore season game and people really responded by filling up both and also coming in costume,” Jurgensen said. “By my junior year, we filled
up four buses and the tradition continued with everyone showing up in costumes and really cheered loud the entire game. In the past two seasons since, the tradition has only continued to grow and it has become a weekend you really look forward to as a player, and, for me, I am very excited to be there as a coach.” If playing on Halloween wasn’t already enough, Marquette will also be facing heated rival Robert Morris-Peoria. The rivalry matchup pits a consistently top of the table foe in Peoria against a Golden Eagles team that has gotten off to a hot start about midway through the year. Jurgensen explained that no matter how good his team is playing, Peoria is the “measuring stick” every season to see how good they really are. “Peroia has always been a
really good team atop our conference and league, so in a way, we used to use them as a measuring stick for where we were as a team,” Jurgensen said. “Needless to say, the games are always (played at an) incredibly high tempo and physical because both teams consider it a must-win game.” Even though Peoria is in a different division, Marquette has faced them several times over the last two years, winning the last five games in dramatic contests. In the 2012-13 season, the Golden Eagles went 3-0 against Peoria, including a shootout victory at home and an overtime victory that gave Marquette its first appearance at Nationals. In the 2013-14 season, the Golden Eagles kept their streak going, sweeping the road series at Peoria with another win in a shootout and an overtime. Jurgensen
explained that Peoria wanted to play on Halloween because it would be an opportunity to break the losing streak in front of a packed crowd. “They know exactly what the atmosphere will be like and they want a chance to ruin our night in front of a big crowd,” Jurgensen said. “It doesn’t matter whether they are cheering for or against you, a loud crowd gives every an extra jump in their step. It is my hope of course that we can score a couple quick goals, get the fans really into the game and continue to feed off of that energy.” The games will be played at the Ponds of Brookfield with buses leaving at 6:45 p.m. from the corner of 16th and Wells for Friday’s contest.

Volleyball welcomes Butler, Xavier to the Al Golden Eagles need big weekend to keep spot at top of Big East
By Hank Greening
hank.greening@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s volleyball team is firmly in the middle of a tight race for first place in the Big East. The Golden Eagles (17-6, 8-3) are part of a three-way tie for second with Butler and Seton Hall, and all three teams are just two games behind the Creighton Bluejays (10-1). Lurking close behind is Xavier (7-4), just one game out of second place. Marquette hosts Butler Friday, followed by Xavier Saturday. The two games have heavy implications for how the
final standings shake out, as there is less than a month left in the regular season. In Marquette’s first matchup of the season against Butler Oct. 15 in Indianapolis, Ind., the two teams went the full five sets to determine a winner. Despite a career-high 30 kills from sophomore Autumn Bailey, the most by any Big East player in a match this season, the Golden Eagles lost, 22-25, 25-22, 25-18, 22-25, 11-15. After dropping the first set, Marquette took the next two, and had a 17-14 lead in the fourth. Butler went on a 6-0 tear and established a lead it held on to for the remainder of the game. The Golden Eagles went on to drop the fifth set and the match, 11-15. After the match, Marquette coach Ryan Theis pointed to that crucial fourth set as the difference in the game.
“We needed to finish in game four,” Theis told GoMarquette. com after the game. “We were up 17-14 and didn’t finish it. We got stuck and didn’t execute certain things. We didn’t execute great to begin with, but 17-14 in the fourth and we weren’t able to stop them.” Butler leads the conference in digs per game, with three players in the top 10 in the category for the conference, and the Bulldogs sit in second in hitting percentage, assists, kills and blocks. Saturday evening, the Golden Eagles will take on Xavier, a team they beat in four sets in Cincinnati, 22-25, 25-18, 25-14, 25-19. Again, Marquette lost the first set, but took over the game from there, winning the next three. Bailey led the team in kills with 20 and was one of
four players who had 11 kills or more, including senior Lindsey Gosh (14), sophomore Nele Barber (13) and redshirt sophomore Meghan Niemann (11). Marquette hit .358 as a team, including a red-hot .571 in the third set. Xavier has three players in the top 10 in the conference for hitting percentage, so the Golden Eagles will have to be tough defensively. Niemann is coming off a career-best nine blocks in a win over Georgetown and was named to the Big East Conference Weekly Honor Roll for her performance. Her presence at the net this weekend will be vital, and Bailey will need to perform at the level she’s capable of in order for the Golden Eagles to come out on top. Theis said after the Georgetown match
that his team was already looking forward to this weekend. “We know it’s a big weekend coming up and we already talked about it after today’s match,” Theis told GoMarquette.com. “We are going to be back at home to play two good teams and we will be prepared for a fight. Hopefully, we will play well with energy and come out with some wins.” Marquette will take on Butler at 7 p.m. Friday at the Al and will wrap up the weekend against Xavier at 6 p.m Saturday. The match against Xavier will air on the Big East Digital Network. Friday’s match will also have a costume contest, with the grand prize of a $100 gift card to the Marquette Spirit Shop, and a Marquette pillow case giveaway.

Men’s soccer unable to get the win in a tough road match By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
The Golden Eagles’ offensive woes continued Wednesday night as they fell to No. 10 Creighton 2-0. The game was the second straight scoreless match for the Golden Eagles, who fell 1-0 to Xavier Saturday. Creighton broke the ice in the 33rd minute, as sophomore midfielder Ricardo Perez made the Golden Eagles pay for leaving him open in the middle of the box. A short cross from the endline found Perez perfectly, and he beat redshirt senior Charlie Lyon on the right side. Creighton controlled the
play from the get-go, outshooting Marquette 6-2 in the first half and earning some quality chances on Lyon. Junior midfielder Timo Pitter put the game out of reach in the 79th minute, as he navigated his way around Lyon on the left side of the box and put the ball into the open net. “When you come here, you have to bring your ‘A’ game,” Marquette coach Louis Bennett told GoMarquette.com. “Some adjustments we made well, other adjustments we did not. The biggest difference and disparity was in final-third production, and the opportunities we did have were not as clean as we would have liked.” Marquette is winless in the last five matches, putting the team in unexpected position with only two regular season contests remaining. They drop to 7-5-3 (1-3-3 Big East) but remains in the sixth
spot in the conference, the last tournament position. Creighton moves to 12-2-2 (5-1-1 Big East) and the second spot in the conference. Marquette’s road streak continues Saturday as they head to New Jersey to play Seton Hall. The Golden Eagles will be facing their biggest competitors for the sixth tournament position, as their final two games are against the eighth place Pirates and ninth place DePaul. “The nature of the Big East is you have to bring your best game, every game,” Bennett said to GoMarquette.com. “It’s a very competitive league and we were on the wrong side of a few close results. Still, it’s a loss, and it hurts. But we are still in the thick of some things. Our job as a coaching staff is to get us ready for Seton Hall.”
Tuesday kicked off the beginning of the 2014-15 NBA season, and Milwaukee Bucks fans have a multitude of feelings. Second overall pick Jabari Parker brings a lot of hype to the team and could be a franchise player who could bring home a championship or two. However, the lack of a new arena and a potentially disinterested fan base could result in the team moving to another city. As Marquette students, while we may or may not be actual fans of the Bucks, there needs to be some mutual interest in keeping the team in the Brew City. Rumors swirled when Grand Avenue Mall was purchased because many speculated that owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens were behind the purchase as a site for the new arena. Bucks executives announced Tuesday they did not buy the land, but stated the future site would be announced within the next 30 to 60 days. This is an extremely important announcement because an arena needs to be built by 2017. If a new stadium is not ready by 2017, the NBA can buy the team back and would most likely move the team out of Milwaukee. If that happens, there is a question about what happens to Marquette basketball, which currently plays at the BMO Harris Bradley Center The Bradley Center will most likely be torn down, especially if the new arena is built. Once
that happens, it is not known where the Golden Eagles would play. The Al McGuire Center only seats 4,000 fans, which is less than half of what Notre Dame and Butler seat at their respective home games. If a new arena isn’t built and the Bucks move, Marquette would be forced to build a new arena in order to accommodate both the men’s and women’s teams. What if a new arena is built, but Marquette is forced to play a season or two in the Al? The men’s basketball team plays its first game ever at the Al Dec. 20 against Alabama A&M, so that game could be a test run if the team is forced to relocate. Playing in such a small venue could cause student ticket prices to rise, along with less students being able to attend, and the university would lose money overall. There are also problems off the court. Having the Bucks in town is a great selling point for Marquette, especially with head coach Steve Wojciechowski’s connection with Parker, whom he coached at Duke last season. Recruits can see firsthand how a coach can make a player good enough to play in the NBA, as well as how a player can keep connections with his college coach. The Bucks also can scout a variety of college talent whenever Marquette has a home game. In order to succeed, the Bucks need Marquette and Marquette needs the Bucks. To lose one would significantly hurt the other. The entire city should pay attention to the Bucks arena situation, because if the city isn’t careful, there might not be much basketball in future winters.

Lyon setting records in historic senior campaign Redshirt senior goalkeeper one away from holding shutout title By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette’s 2014-15 season has already been a historic one, largely due to the play of redshirt senior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon. Lyon backstopped the Golden Eagles in their program record of 804 minutes of shutout soccer this season during a seven game winning streak. Lyon tied Jim Welsh’s program record Oct. 11 for the most career shutouts with his 28th. He’s started and played in every minute of every match this season, a huge factor in Marquette being fourth in the NCAA in goals against average going into this week. If that’s not enough to impress, Lyon was also named one of ten candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, given to the player who best exemplifies excellence in character, their community, the classroom and in their sport. Overall, it’s been a pretty fun ride for Lyon in his final collegiate season. The shutout streak is arguably the story of the season, as Lyon and the defense continued to impress night in and night out. Although it wasn’t necessarily a goal the group set out to accomplish at the beginning of the season, Lyon feels that the accomplishment helped bring the unit together. “We know what we need to do to get it done,” Lyon said. “Because we’ve had that success in the past we know what to do to keep getting (shutouts).” One of the top goalkeepers in the 50 year history of Marquette soccer, Lyon is known to make some magnificent saves. Like
many young keepers, he models his game after his counterparts at the highest level, names like Tim Howard, Manuel Neuer and Iker Casillas. He likes taking qualities of different keepers to improve his game. Some goalkeepers like to make saves early on to make sure they’re on their game for the rest of the match. Others prefer that they simply not face shots at all. Not surprisingly, based on Marquette’s defensive system, Lyon falls into the latter category. “Any day that you don’t get tested, that’s a good day,” Lyon said with a laugh. “Goalkeepers are the last resort. You have someone that’s capable of making the save and when they do it that’s great, but you hope to not have that opportunity to come up again.” With it being his final year at Marquette, Lyon has started thinking about his life after college. “I don’t have a firm grasp on exactly what I want to do,” said Lyon. “I’ll look and see what opportunities I have if there’s something through soccer. If not, I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with my biomedical science degree.” One option for Lyon postgraduation may be continuing to play at a high level in the United States. An article on MLS.com earlier this month listed Lyon as one of the home grown players who will benefit from the US Soccer’s newly established developmental programs. Lyon said he’s been thinking about the opportunity to play at the highest level in the US since he was a child. Lyon has already had a taste of the MLS as a part of the Chicago Fire program, starting with playing in the Chicago Fire Academy in high school. This summer, he was able to train with the Fire’s first team, which gave him a

glimpse of the day-to-day life of an MLS player. Marquette is working on launching a campaign for Lyon’s Senior CLASS Award bid. It’s just the latest in a series of awards Lyon has been chosen for that honor academics as well as athletics. He was named the Big East Men’s Scholar Athlete of the Year last season and has made the Big East All-Academic team three times. Lyon sees this
latest nomination as a great way to give back to the university before his departure. “I’m glad that the school is being recognized,” Lyon explained. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity that I’ve had here … I’m glad the school can be on the national stage in that (positive) light.” Fans can vote for Lyon once a day online on the award’s website.
Lyon has many goals he’d like to complete during the second half of the season. He’d like to get back to shutting out opponents, make the Big East tournament, be a part of Marquette’s second straight Big East Championship and help the team’s ever-looming goal of another NCAA tournament bid a reality. Of course, he said he’d love to hold the career shutout record for himself soon too.

The Bulldogs sport a disappointing 2-4-2 conference record, but played better at home throughout the season, losing just twice.

(12). The trio makes up just more than half of the Bulldogs’ point totals. Limiting these three, just as they did with Providence striker Catherine Zimmerman will be the key to success for the Golden Eagles. Marquette will counter with its own fiery offense. Sophomore Darian Powell enters the road match with a three-game scoring streak and senior midfielder Alex Heffron will look to build off a two-goal campaign at Providence. Against Butler keeper Jayne Heinrich, who made the least amount of saves and is ranked eighth in the Big East in save percentage, the two, along with senior midfielder Mary Luba and sophomore midfielder Liz Bartels, should be able to find the back of the net. The Golden Eagles travel to Butler after a full week of rest, which proved to be beneficial against Providence. With the ability to rest up, Marquette will be ready to go in the season finale. Kickoff against Butler is 3 p.m. Friday in Indianapolis, Ind.
