MU clinic combats flu vaccine stigmas By Devi Shastri
devi.shastri@marquette.edu
As flu season looms, the Marquette medical clinic kicked into full gear to meet the demand for vaccinations. Despite an overall increase in the number of vaccines administered, the clinic is still working to combat stigma and misconceptions surrounding both the flu virus and shot. The clinic gave around 1,400 shots by the end of September, an increase of nearly 10 percent from last year. Lynda Collins, a medical clinic nurse and coordinator of the flu clinic, credits this increase to the fact that Marquette is now giving out the vaccines, rather than an outside agency.

Photo by Cassie Pieschel/cassie. pieschel@maruqette.edu “One of my goals was to get the outside agency off campus and have our medical clinic administer the flu shots,” she said. As a result, the clinic is increasingly busy this time of year, as it is open to students and faculty, in addition to the general public. The clinic is advantageous to patients and professionals alike. Nursing students can even administer the shots on a volunteer basis to gain valuable clinical experience. “The first few times I administered the injections, I was really focused on the actual administration and didn’t really converse with the patient,” Chrystal Mattappillil, a junior in the College of Nursing, said. “After a few of them, I realized that conversing with the patient puts them at ease and makes their experience a bit easier because they are distracted and won’t typically focus on the needle that’s being placed into See Flu Shots, Page 2

MU to collect input on police DPS Chief to lead sessions on possible police commissioning By Rob Gebelhoff
robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu
University President Michael Lovell announced Wednesday that the university will collect community feedback at the end of October before he decides on the commissioning of a Marquette police force. Paul Mascari, chief of the Department of Public Safety, will host presentations about what the transition would include, and will lead forums with faculty, staff, students and the neighborhood. Police powers would give DPS officers the ability to arrest people, access law enforcement records and issue citations and traffic tickets on campus, although the Milwaukee Police Department would retain primary jurisdiction in the area. Mascari, who started his tenure as chief of DPS earlier this summer, said he thinks commissioning a police force, in agreement with MPD, would be the next logical step for his department. “As a private security agency, we’re only able to do so much,” Mascari said. “Our officers rely heavily on the Milwaukee Police Department to handle things that can only be handled by a police officer. On a Friday or Saturday night, that could take several hours. It would make our jobs a lot easier to handle routine things on our own.” Gov. Scott Walker came to campus last April to sign legislation granting Marquette the power to transition DPS into a police force. The legislation, authored by Rep. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield) and State Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills), only gave Marquette the option to commission, leaving the decision up to the university president. If Lovell does take the commissioning route, DPS officers would have to meet standards for certification like any other Wisconsin law ofNEWS

ficer, which Mascari said a handful in DPS have already voluntarily met. “In many ways our training mirrors the training that law enforcement receives,” Mascari said. A Marquette police force would be qualified to apply for federal training grants, but details about how much this will cost the university are not known. “The feedback that we get from the stakeholders will help
determine how the plan will be rolled out,” said associate general counsel Doug Smith. “We’re not talking about the numbers yet.” Mascari stressed that the mission of public safety will continue to be keeping students safe, noting that DPS prides the relationship it has developed with students. “Absolutely nothing in police powers will change that,” Mascari said. In terms of the university’s
underage drinking policy, DPS currently can’t issue citations against students, but they can call MPD if they think citations are appropriate. Smith said consequences would not change if DPS were a police force, but it would give Marquette the chance to customize its alcohol enforcement with the Office of Student Affairs and cut out the middle man.

Bats in the 707 building? Close, but no. Federally protected birds find home in campus chimney By Benjamin Lockwood
benjamin.lockwood@marquette.edu
It’s only natural for students to start seeing things out of the ordinary so close to Halloween. But when rumors emerged that bats have made the 707 building on campus its home, the Tribune decided to investigate. Although certain bat species are native to Wisconsin, like the “little brown bat” that tends to make its home in buildings, Ronald Ripley, director of facilities services, doesn’t think those are really bats flying from the chimney. “This question has been raised in the past on several occasions and the answer has been found to be somewhat different than might be expected,” Ripley said in an email. “I have
not observed the situation this current year but in the past I have found the answer to be birds, not bats.” They’re chimney swifts— confirmed by their characteristic chirping. These less-thanmenacing birds have similar characteristics to bats, and their silhouettes often invoke comparison to the macabre mammals of the night.
KILLED THE CAT SATISFYING MARQUETTE’S CURIOSITY
But they won’t suck your blood, and they shouldn’t haunt your dreams. As their name suggests, the birds tend to make temporary homes in chimneys and other vertical resting spots because their physiology doesn’t allow them to perch on branches. They spend the majority of their
lives in flight, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and their diet consists mainly of mosquitoes, much like a bat’s. Swifts have been seen in other university chimneys and are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. As a result, their nests cannot be removed without a federally issued permit. Still, the idea that Marquette has bats on campus is not out of the ordinary. The Department of Public Safety dealt with the pests in both Johnston Hall and the Church of the Gesu, according to a 1985 Tribune article. Wisconsin’s bats are not the vicious demons often associated with “Dracula” or “The Dark Knight.” The eight insectivorous bat species native to the state help the ecosystem far more than they hurt. They eat vast amounts of mosquitoes and acting as a natural pest-control for farmers. A new disease is threatening to wipe them out. White-Nose Syndrome, a massively fatal fungal epidemic among bats, recently spread
to Wisconsin. The disease, which originated in New York and quickly traveled north and west, affects hibernating bats by infecting them with a white fungus that grows around their muzzles and wings. It’s still debated whether the disease actually causes death, or if the early awakening of bats in hibernation from the disease causes the bats to starve to death. Regardless, the bat population across North America is dramatically dropping. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, bat death estimates range from 5.7 to 6.7 million in the past seven years due to White-Nose Syndrome. So no, students do not have to fear bats on campus. If anything, the only thing to fear would be the fall in bat population we’ll experience in the coming years. If that’s the case, we should really be concerned about the rise of the real blood-suckers: mosquitoes.

their deltoid.” Luckily for the Marquette community, the national vaccine shortages that have people struggling to meet the demand will not affect the campus flu clinic. The FDA rejected some lots of the vaccine from manufacturers, but Marquette’s were approved. The struggle now lies in finding people to administer the shots to. The staff is also trying to dispel the stigma associated with vaccines, such as the misconception that thimerosal, (a preservative) is linked to autism, and the belief that vaccines cause the flu. It is common for people to believe that they are sick because of the vaccine, while in reality, they fell ill before the shot could take effect. “The vaccine takes two weeks for people to get the full effect,”
“Today, when DPS encounters a student who may need medical care, they would have to sit with that student and wait for MPD to come and pick them up,” Smith said. “Now we take those students directly to where they need help and get our patrols back on the street.” In terms of transition challenges, Smith said the
Collins said. “It’s a dead virus.” The clinic uses raffles and support from local businesses (such as food platters and free items) to encourage people to get their shot. This year’s raffle prize is a Kindle Fire. Collins explained that it is impossible to get everyone vaccinated. However, the medical professionals of the clinic are hoping for “herd immunity,” the theory that if enough people are vaccinated, they can create a buffer for the community to keep a disease out. Nevertheless, everyone would get vaccinated against the flu in Collins’ ideal world. She and others in the clinic continue to combat beliefs instilled by misinformation and ignorance. “You put so many people at risk by not getting the vaccine,” she said. “It is just so important.”

Federal laws require DPS to report new crime categories Amendment to Clery Act revamps reports on dating violence By McKenna Oxenden
mckenna.oxenden@marquette.edu
Domestic violence, dating violence and stalking were three new categories that, prior to last week, were not present on the annual Department of Public Safety Fire and Safety Report. The catalyst for the new inclusions is a result of President Obama signing the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, which amended the Clery Act, dealing with campus crime and statistics. The document mandated universities must include data on their annual report for all incidents related to domestic and dating violence, as well as stalking. Paul Mascari, the chief of DPS, said Marquette made a “good faith effort” to include the new data in the 2013 report rather than waiting. Currently, the newly mandated law is in a negotiated rulemaking process with the Department of Education, as their job is to regulate the new bills and laws that have been passed in order to implement them in
the most logical manner. The law is expected to be released sometime next month and go into effect in July 2015. Mascari said because of the daily crime log that is monitored and run by DPS, the data was already there. “If you have the information and you can get it fairly easily, there is no reason not to do it now,” Mascari said. The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, the new amendment of the Clery Act, promises to provide transparency, accountability, education and collaboration with reporting the facts, implementing the law and providing sources. Marquette’s Title IX coordinator, the Rev. Daniel Hendrickson, believes this will help educational institutions better understand sexual violence crimes. “We can have an even better sense for how to educate students on the related issues and they let us continue responding to concerns and crimes in informed and caring ways,” Hendrickson said. There is no specific criteria that Marquette identifies with the new categories, but they follow what the Federal Bureau of Investigation defines as crime and then turn to Wisconsin state law.

MU to collect input on guiding values
Many believe domestic violence only happens to people in romantic relationships or marriages, but Wisconsin state law defines it as something that can occur as long as you are living together. All three examples of domestic violence displayed in 2013 were by roommates living in the residence halls. Mascari pointed out that recently there has been a big push on a national level for safety on college campuses. Marquette was not the only university to make the effort to include the new requirements into their annual report. Most universities have already been required to track these crimes, resulting in the ease of compiling them. According to the Clery Center website, 20-25 percent of females experience rape or attempted rape. While numbers were limited, Mascari said “any crime is an important crime” and DPS cannot be present for every crime committed, so students must be aware of what is happening around them. DPS urges students to report any crime committed so there is easier access to resources that can help the victim with pressing criminal charges, counseling or education to help prevent violence in the future.

Evolution of a Criminal By Jack Taylor
jack.tayor@marquette.edu
After being sentenced to five years in prison for a bank robbery, 16-year-old Darius Clark Monroe decided to make something of his time in prison. Realizing his passion for film, he decided to apply to New York University for grad school as a film student. The school accepted him, and “Evolution of a Criminal” was the result. The film depicts Monroe’s story through scenes portrayed by actors and interviews of first-hand accounts, including those of the other two men involved in the robbery. It first shows Monroe in high school, an honors student with potential for a college scholarship. But after
his low-income family is robbed, Monroe decides to take action. On a normal, routine day of school, he and two of his classmates sneak out of school to rob $14,000 from a Bank of America in Texas. After weeks of fingers pointed toward Monroe, the police department arrests the boy and tries him as an adult. A judge sentences him to five years in prison. The documentary goes on to show how Monroe morphs his life around his crime. He pursues his passion for film, yet he wants his story to be heard universally to teach the world a lesson. What makes “Evolution of a Criminal” so moving is its style. The interviews are conducted by Monroe 10 years after the bank
robbery, featuring his closest friends, family and teachers. The emotional reactions of the subjects speak louder than any of their words, especially when Darius’s mother breaks down while trying to describe how the robbery destroyed her emotionally. The first half of the documentary builds up the love the family has for Darius, and the second half simply proves how the incarceration caused the family devastation. Monroe even included clips in the documentary of going houseto-house of the people at the bank on that dreadful day. Some people gracefully accepted Monroe’s atonement, but some shut the door in his face after telling him, “You caused too much damage to our family.” However, Monroe wants the audience to know the full effect of his crime, the full effect of any
The Man with a Movie Camera By Michaela McDonald
michaela.mcdonald@marquette.edu
On the sixth day of the Milwaukee Film Festival, a crowd of ticket-holders lined the rainy streets outside the Oriental Theater waiting to watch the screening of “The Man with a Movie Camera.” This silent, Russian documentary is film-stream madness as director Dziga Vertov blends film strips together, slows down and speeds up the film reel and cuts certain frames out only to reattach them to different strips. These effects result in a psychedelic documentary proving decades ahead of its time, having premiered in 1929. Enhancing the experience, this particular screening of “The Man with a Movie Camera” was accompanied by the Alloy Orchestra of Cambridge, Mass. The critically-acclaimed orchestra performed its original film-long soundtrack live in the theater,
an event that happens only a few times a year. The soundtrack performed by Alloy’s Orchestra gives the film emotional context. The panicked violins made me frantic as I watched hundreds of people run around on screen and the slow tick of the cymbal gave me the creeps as I watched the film reel itself slow down to a complete halt, only to take a long pause on a still-image of a woman’s smoldering stare. The appropriateness of Alloy Orchestra’s instruments paired with Vertov’s film style is a masterpiece within itself. Alloy Orchestra is able to influence the audience so effectively because of unconventional playback techniques that Vertov has created. Not only does Alloy Orchestra build anticipation by filling the theater with a whirlwind of manic percussion styles, Vertov at times slows down and speeds up the film playback at crucial parts of the
documentary - making the audience wait in awe for the last part of a magic trick and speed through what seems like hours of footage within minutes. “The Man with a Movie Camera” redefines the probable stages of documentaries. Rather than following a timeline, a single person or idea, Vertov combines it all with an effortless fluidity that makes all of the film’s chaos seem orderly. It makes an audience member think, “Well, of course a scene of a man anticipating a train collision is being rapidly alternated with a woman waking up in the morning.” Alloy Orchestra aids this notion, the audience is encompassed by the steady refrain that resounds throughout the entirety of the film, leaving film-goers onehundred and twenty minutes later, wondering how the show is over already.
crime and the fact that no crime is worth it. “Evolution of a Criminal” is Monroe’s way of getting that message across the nation, and Monroe travels with it to deliver inspiring speeches to prevent people from
making the same mistake he did when he was 16 years old. His film has the power to influence millions of teenagers in the right direction, and platforms like the Milwaukee Film Festival provide the greatest opportunity to do just that.

Best Short Film “Where Were You When Michael Jackson Died?” Directed by Jean-Baptiste Pouilloux Contrary to my hopeful wishes, the French film neither features Michael Jackson nor addresses the actual death of Michael Jackson. The title is derived from a bit of dialogue exchanged between a bulky man (Denis Mnochet) and the gorgeous woman (lodie Navarre) he appears to be following home. The woman notices the stranger and confronts him. The two get into arguments over who is following whom, who flagged down the taxi first, and they eventually get to making small-talk. That’s where the question regarding Michael Jackson comes up. From there, the two hop into a cab and the woman asks the man to sleep with her. Both of the passengers are married, so it is up to the man to make the decision he feels is the best. At the start of the film, I felt worried for the woman. At the end, I noticed myself rooting for the man to make the right decision. It is amazing how a film like this one can completely give you a change of heart among its characters. That’s powerful filmmaking. (Jack Taylor)
Milwaukee Film Festival Comes to Marquette By Paige Lloyd
paige.lloyd@marquette.edu
The film “1971,” which opened at the Milwaukee Film Festival two weeks ago, revealed the previously untold story of anti-Vietnam War activists who broke into a Pennsylvania FBI office and stole documents revealing government activity. The Marquette Law School took the topic a step further when it hosted the festival’s first panel as part of “On the Issues with Mike Gousha” Sept. 26, where speakers discussed
freedom of information and the role of media. Contributors included Ben Wizner, Edward Snowden’s attorney and American Civil Liberties Union member, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Dan Bice and Christa Westerberg, attorney and Information Council vice president. Discussion was primarily on whistle-blowers, those who give up information, and the consequences they should or should not receive. Speakers also discussed the parallels seen between today’s society and the film “1971.”
Bice shared his personal take on the situation, stating, “Just about every time I’m dealing with a whistle-blower, the first step in the process is to negotiate when I might disclose this information, under what circumstances, the value of the info, and there are times when people are not satisfied with the answers I’ve given them.” He continued with the exceptions that state laws possess, specifically the Wisconsin state law regarding the Freedom of Information Act, which exempts men and women in Congress.
“It shows that members of Congress are reluctant to resolve this issue because it brings attention to the fact that they have exempted themselves,” Bice said. Wizner continued the conversation by saying that it should not be criminal for someone working for the government to reveal illegal conduct done by individuals within that government. Wizner also spoke out on the importance that technology plays in the distribution of information. “I think that technology works
in a number of different ways here,” he said. “It can be much faster for getting information out in huge quantities, but it also makes it much more difficult for people in government to do that without protection.” Though the sharing of information may be easily done, the search process is at times too much for people to want to go through. “Before you see anything, you can be charged for a location fee, and that may discourage you from getting the record at all,” Westerberg said.

Same-sex progress does not mean full acceptance
STAFF EDITORIAL
Embracing campus diversity requires collaboration
Illustration by Lily Stanicek/lily.stanicek@marquette.edu
Our view: Marquette students and staff must work together and support each other regarding new initiatives to foster campus inclusivity. The student body at Marquette continues to diversify with each incoming freshman class. Over a quarter of the class of 2018 is non-white, and it seems Marquette is increasingly stepping up to accommodate these student population changes. University departments, such as Campus Ministry, are visibly adapting to the evolving composition on campus. This past June, Campus Ministry announced an open position for an Assistant Director for Multi-Cultural Student Ministry. According to the job posting, the main goal is to provide “outreach and support for students of historically underrepresented cultural and ethnic backgrounds and facilitation of intercultural faith community building.” One of the primary tasks of the job would be to connect with Hispanic students by offering bilingual retreats and liturgical services, such as Roman Catholic Mass in the St. Joan of Arc Chapel. Since 2010, Hispanic and Latino students made up the largest percentage of minority students on campus, currently representing approximately 9 percent of the incoming freshman class. With over 86 percent of the students affiliating with some form of Christianity, including Roman Catholicism, Campus Ministry’s new initiative will address a sizable scope of the student body previously under-served. For many students of Hispanic origin, a bilingual Roman Catholic Mass at the Church of the Gesu, with its own cultural flair and traditions, differs significantly from a standard ceremony and the opportunity to partake in religious activities more in line with their heritage will no doubt make Campus Ministry more open and inclusive than ever before. However, there is still progress to be made to better accommodate and
welcome diversity. Combined, all other non-white and non-Hispanic minorities make up over 15 percent of the student population. Although the new initiative for a multi-cultural ministry will presumably succeed to involve and serve higher rates of Hispanic and Latino students, a truly inclusive campus will take into account all demographic groups. Campus Ministry has the right idea. With the demographic shifts on campus, these are the kinds of initiatives we should see more of on campus. In order to foster a more welcoming and inclusive atmosphere on campus, students should be able to partake in culturally relevant activities to make Marquette feel more like home. Departments such as Campus Ministry, the Admissions Office and the Center for Intercultural Engagement are some of the most visible actors in encouraging diversity and inclusiveness, and their mission to include students of all backgrounds and beliefs should receive priority. While these initiatives are instituted by university departments, they will falter if the student body itself does not support them. Despite the growing number of minority students on campus, inclusiveness and interaction among the student body has a significant amount of room for improvement. According to the 2014 graduating senior survey, 50 percent of students had few to no meaningful interactions with people outside of their race or ethnicity and 73 percent had few to no discussions on spirituality with members of a different faith. Diversity on campus is on the rise, but the formation of bonds between persons of different backgrounds is still lagging behind in progress. The situation is a give-and-take. Departments and organizations on campus should work together to provide welcoming and encouraging spaces where people of all backgrounds can come together and interact, but students should also be willing to take the time to reach out, support these kinds of initiatives and learn from each other.
Elena Fransen The U.S. Supreme Court chose Monday not to hear or decide on five same-sex marriage bans that state courts already ruled against. With this inaction, the marriage of gay couples is now legal in Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Indiana and Wisconsin, with five other states likely to follow. This decision means that 25 states, and possibly more, will allow same-sex marriage, after a long and hard-fought battle over marriage as a civil right. Reactions from LGBTQ rights groups and liberals are optimistic, with many saying it is just a matter of time before all states recognize gay marriage and to do so is to be on the right side of history. Support for same-sex marriage is a growing trend, with a Gallup poll showing 55 percent of respondents in support of same-sex couples’ marriage validity and rights, with 42 percent against. However, while the decision recognizes gay marriage as valid and grants individuals the same benefits of those in “traditional marriages,” ranging from taxes to medical accommodations, the progression of samesex marriage does not clear the way for a U.S. society that is fully accepting of gay and lesbian men and women. The same-sex marriage fight’s focus has been on achieving equality and recognition alongside traditional marriages. The general public has been in favor of this, or has at least come to accept its inevitability, because it is an easy way to appease LGBTQ people. It seems like society is saying, give them marriage and they will stop complaining about how we treat and represent them. If you think about it, the mainstream depiction of gay couples is usually two older men or women who are committed in a partnership, with kids and a white, middle-class lifestyle. The photos that accompany news stories all show a very particular kind of gay
or lesbian individual which further solidifies how we generalize LGBTQ people. From a recent Cheerios commercial to Modern Family’s Cam and Mitchell, gay people are usually depicted as part of a couple. This is the result of the idea that gay people are good only in committed pairs, so they cannot make other people gay or corrupt other people. We can start to pretend they are just like a traditional couple. While it is deemed progressive for the media to market or portray same-sex couples at all, what is shown is not the full experience of the gay and lesbian community. Not all gay people are white, middle-aged, middle-class people who want to get married. But for mainstream society, to accept gay people means to accept these characteristics as true. Many hardships continue for LGBTQ communities, from high incidences of teenage suicide and depression to job discrimination. People from different social groups experience these phenomena in different ways, which further complicates how they are addressed effectively. These issues are not solved by the legalization of same-sex marriage and there is a great need to continue working on these issues. To say the great fight for LGBTQ rights is in its last victorious rounds would be to ignore the many problems still facing gay peoples. It would be like saying women had equal rights since the 19th Amendment; there is more than enough evidence in our culture, our economy and our political sphere to prove that wrong. Sure, we can take the SCOTUS indecision to mean progress is continuous, but it is important to take a step back from the microscopic view of LGBTQ goals as only about same-sex marriage and acknowledge how there is a whole lot more that needs to change. When it comes to these issues, we cannot be cryptically indecisive or think change is going to come eventually. In the general populace’s mindset, nothing would ever progress and our conceptions would never develop. If we are to have equal rights, we need to be proactive about changing this mindset and seeing the bigger picture.

Hong Kong protests show flaws in China’s policy
Matt Gozun Things are returning to normal in Hong Kong, though hundreds of student protesters still occupy the city’s central business district. The leaders of the protest have agreed to meet with government leaders Friday in an attempt to address some of the grievances raised during the more than two-week-long movement. It is a smart move for the protesters, who risk alienating the public if their actions further disrupt daily life in a city which emphasizes social harmony and order. Ever since the handover of Hong Kong by the British to the People’s Republic in 1997, the city has been a Special Administrative Region with a high level of self-rule. According to a treaty with the British, China is to guarantee Hong Kong this status for 50 years, thus granting the city special privileges, with matters of defense and foreign relations left up to Beijing. According to the city’s basic law, Hong Kong is allowed to pick its own leader, or chief executive, through an electoral college that is described as a “broadly representative nominating committee.” The committee is composed of 1,200 members chosen by a variety of groups, including the business community, professional organizations and social groups, among others. The electoral committee alone decides the city’s leader and, though universal suffrage may be introduced in time for the 2017 election, voters would only be able to pick one of the three candidates determined by a committee under the increasing influence of Beijing. Hong Kong is against this as the goals of
China are not necessarily the same as the city’s. Given Hong Kong’s unique history, the city developed a culture much different than the mainland’s, with issues of language (Cantonese vs. Mandarin) and writing system (traditional characters vs. simplified ones) among the most noticeable. Many of the city’s residents are justifiably concerned that Hong Kong’s promised autonomy and the rights associated with it, such as freedom of speech, will be squashed by the Communist Party. If Beijing’s current desire to control Hong Kong is any indication of its future intentions, then Hong Kong will likely be made into just another Chinese city by 2047, when the current agreement ends. Dissatisfaction in Hong Kong may not have any immediate effect on China’s leadership, but its implications definitely threw a wrench into the government’s ability to justify continued single party rule. Support for the Communist Party is grounded mainly on a combination of Chinese nationalism and economic growth. Despite Hong Kong’s population being 94 percent ethnic Chinese, when asked to state their nationality the vast majority did not identify with China, but with the city itself.

Women’s soccer looking to notch first road win of the season By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team faces its toughest competition of the season when the team travels to Washington D.C. to battle Georgetown Sunday afternoon. The Golden Eagles (7-5-2, 3-0-1) are riding a six-game winning streak into the game, and will face a Georgetown team that is undefeated at home this season. Marquette is 0-22 on the road, and can benefit from having a full week to prepare for the match. Getting its
first road victory against the Hoyas would be another big step forward for the team. Georgetown is fortunate to have two of the top five scorers in the conference. Senior Daphne Corboz leads the Big East with 26 points, and senior Vanessa Skrumbis is tied for fourth with 17. However, after those two, Georgetown’s scoring drops off, as the third-highest scorer on the team is sophomore Grace Damaska with nine. Even with the dynamic Corboz and Skrumbis leading the charge for the Hoyas, coach Markus Roeders said it is important to stay focused on what Marquette can do. “Our focus really has to be more on us,” Roeders said. “How we can solidify everything that we’re doing from the standpoint of our offensive play, our defensive play,
Women’s soccer will be searching for its first road victory of the 2014 season against Georgetown on Sunday.
our set plays, our restarts, all those kinds of things. We just got to fine tune.” Because of how often Georgetown can score, the Golden Eagles will rely heavily on junior goalkeeper Amanda Engel. Engel quietly has an impressive 0.50 goals against average and notched four shutouts during the team’s unbeaten streak. Engel averaged just more than three saves per game during that stretch. Against an offense like the Hoyas, Engel will see a lot of shots, but if her recent play is any indicator, she should have no problem keeping them out of the net. Roeders said Engel stepped up for the team during the stretch. “She’s shown once again she’s one of the best in the league,” Roeders said. “We continue to rely on her and hopefully she can make the
saves she can make.” Marquette’s leading scorer is senior Mary Luba with 12 points, while sophomore Liz Bartels has 10. Both teams are possession-heavy squads, which means the Golden Eagles will have to limit turnovers, especially in the attacking zone. Roeders said possession is a major part of both teams’ game plans, which makes it an intriguing matchup. “It’s a great matchup because they love to possess and we love to do the same thing,” Roeders said. When the Golden Eagles do get their quality scoring chances, they will face an equally solid goalkeeper in Emma Newins. Newins also notched four shutouts in her last six games, but has a slightly higher goals against average. Newins also makes 3.64 saves per game,
compared to Engel’s 3.57 saves. The match could be decided by which goaltender can make the crucial saves. Roeders said Engel and the rest of the defense stood strong so far in Big East play, and the team will need their defense to be reliable against Georgetown. “We can’t ask ourselves to score four, five goals every game, that’s just not going to happen,” Roeders said. “So we have to be able to squeak out these 1-0 wins.” “Sunday’s a big one,” Roeders said. “We’re going to be on the road, we know how difficult they are … especially at their place.” The Golden Eagles will kickoff against the Hoyas at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
Levin’s departure opens options for recruiting Sophomore’s absence leaves basketball with two 2015 scholarships By Matthew Barbato
matthew.barbato@marquette.edu
Despite never logging a minute in a Marquette uniform, sophomore transfer Gabe Levin’s departure from the university could have a significant impact on the program going forward. Levin announced Wednesday afternoon he would be leaving Marquette just five months after deciding to come to Marquette
from Loyola-Marymount. The 6’7’’ forward was going to redshirt the entire 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules. “We wish Gabe nothing but the best as he pursues other opportunities to continue his career,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said in a press release. Levin averaged 11.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in just under 32 minutes per game in his first season with the Lions, but his future role with the team was relatively unknown as the team would have six forwards slated to be on the 2015-16 roster. Levin’s absence leaves another scholarship opening for the 2015-16 roster. Marquette already has three incoming
recruits to replace graduating seniors Derrick Wilson, Juan Anderson and graduate student Matt Carlino, but Levin’s scholarship opens up another potential player for Wojciechowski to target in recruiting. Marquette has 11 scholarship players on the 2015-16 roster with two scholarships remaining. The Golden Eagles are one of the three remaining schools in the running for Rice Lake, Wisc. forward Henry Ellenson, who is the fourth-ranked recruit in the country, according to ESPN.com. If Ellenson commits to either Michigan State or Kentucky, Wojciechowski will have more contingency options with the extra scholarship.
Henry’s brother, Wally, transferred to Marquette last July and could be a major bargaining chip in his brother’s sweepstakes. Landing Henry would be the pinnacle signing of a relatively strong recruiting class that includes four-star point guard Nick Noskowiak, four-star shooting guard Haanif Cheatham and four-star center Matt Heldt. Marquette is also in consideration for another five-star recruit, small forward Jaylen Brown, as well as four-star guard Marcus LoVett Jr. The loss of Levin is not ideal in the short-term, but Wojciechowski could capitalize on the extra scholarship by
landing a top recruit like Henry Ellenson and adding another piece to the roster via recruiting or a transfer. Wojciechowski is excelling in both means of player acquisition early in his tenure. He only kept one recruit, Sandy Cohen III, from Buzz Williams’ recruiting class, but he supplemented his roster with transfers Wally Ellenson and Carlino, while quickly putting together an already-respectable recruiting class. Levin’s departure will not be a loss on the court this season, but it could pay big dividends in the recruiting landscape as Wojciechowski attempts to build a program-changing recruiting class.

The Golden Eagle needs a name

Defense to be tested by St. John’s Men’s soccer team celebrates 50th season against St. John’s By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Jack Goods Imagine if everyone you know solely referred to you as “person.” It makes sense, because it is what you are, but it is not very personal, is it? This is the sad daily occurrence for Marquette’s poor mascot, who is severely lacking a name. With the basketball season unofficially kicking off at Marquette Madness tomorrow night, it is time to give the Golden Eagle a name. Many of the best mascots in sports have a nickname, which helps make them memorable. Whether it’s Otto the Orange at Syracuse or Sparty the Spartan at Michigan State, the mascot’s name gives him a character and allows the school to be more creative when it comes to the mascot’s personality. Of the 10 teams in the Big East, only two other schools’ mascots are nameless. Seton Hall’s mascot is simply known as the Pirate, while Providence’s somewhat frightening mascot is known as the Friar. It may seem a little bit silly, but this is a serious topic. OK, not really. It is silly. But journalists are allowed to have a little fun every once in a while. The Golden Eagle is a staple of Marquette athletics. He entertains students and children alike, and is the feature of more game day Instagram photos than anyone else on campus. Mascots are clearly a marketing tool, especially targeting young audience members who may be future Golden Eagles themselves someday. When they turn and see the glorious Marquette mascot, do we want them to have to say something as clunky as, “Hey, Golden Eagle?” So, if the Golden Eagle needs a name, what should it be? The answer is obvious. Marq. Marq is clever enough to get a chuckle, but not too obscure that people won’t understand it. It’s understandable if you think the “Marq” puns might be a little overused these days. The 2040’s rebranded to the Marq just last month, stealing my creative thunder a bit, while eMarq and CheckMarq utilize the play-on-word as well. The school could always go with alliteration as a second option. I like the sound of Enrique the Eagle personally. So how does the student body make a change in the community? In this day of social media, students can converse with the university directly. Tweet at the school, the athletic department or with anyone you’d like about naming our beloved mascot. Together, Marquette can be the difference and give one “anonymous eagle” a true identity. Jack Goods is a sophomore from Buffalo, New York majoring in Journalism.

The Golden Eagles look to weather the Red Storm Saturday and continue their shutout streak in their second Big East match of the season. Marquette turned heads nationally with its seven straight shutouts this season. The squad has jumped up the college polls as the season has progressed, currently seated at a seasonhigh eighth in the country in the latest NSCAA poll. The goalless streak stands at 718 minutes going into the match. After starting the season 1-3-2, the Red Storm have managed to get back to near .500, thanks to winning two of their last three matches. St. John’s defeated Butler and fell to Xavier in its two Big East matches this season. St. John’s has spread out its goalscoring production this season. Nine different players notched goals this season, but none scored more than two. “We focus on what we want to do defensively and not what they are going to do on attack, especially if there’s not a key guy for them,” said Marquette assistant coach Steve Bode. St. John’s also features senior defender Tim Parker, who shared preseason coBig East Defender of the Year honors with Marquette

redshirt junior defenseman Axel Sjoberg in 2013. Even though St. John’s isn’t at the top of the Big East in the standings, Bode knows the Red Storm isn’t a team to look past. “This is a program that has had tons of success,” Bode said. “We’ve played them at (Valley Fields) when they were top five in the country and that was only five or so years ago.” Last season, Marquette and St. John’s played a grueling 0-0 match in similar fashion to Marquette’s match last week with now No. 5 Georgetown.
However, this year’s St. John’s squad looks different than last. “It’s a new team from last year,” Bode said. “I think they have five or six new starters from last year, which is a little bit unusual for a team like St. John’s.” It’ll be a festive weekend for Marquette, as the team celebrates 50 years of soccer. The team expects at least 60 alumni and their families to be in attendance this weekend, with many participating in the alumni soccer match at 12 p.m. on Sunday. Although the coaching staff
has hung up a few old photos in the locker room this week, they are trying not to build the weekend up too much. “The guys know that there’s a history here,” Bode said. “There’s not a lot of programs that have been in existence for 50 years…We hope our guys don’t come out all over the place, but I think there’s some excitement for it.” The two sides kick things off at Valley Fields, Saturday at 7 p.m.
Volleyball takes down Musketeers Golden Eagles overcome slow start to defeat Xavier in four
By Hank Greening
hank.greening@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s volleyball team, coming off a tough home loss to Creighton, beat conference foe Xavier in four sets 22-25, 25-18, 25-14, 25-19 Wednesday at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati. The Golden Eagles are now 13-4 overall and 4-1 in the Big East, still sitting in third place in the conference. The Golden Eagles hit at their third-highest percentage of the season (.358) and were led by sophomore Autumn Bailey with 20 kills and 12 digs, increasing her double-double streak to 11. However, Bailey was not alone in her efforts, as she was just one of four Marquette players in double figures. Sophomore Nele Barber also had a doubledouble with 13 kills and 15 digs. Redshirt sophomore Meghan Niemann posted 11 kills with no errors. Niemann and senior Lindsay Gosh racked up hitting percentages of over .500, Gosh adding 14 kills to the team’s total of 61. Marquette came out slowly in the first set, but was able to climb back from a four-point deficit before ultimately losing 22-25. The Golden Eagles hit just .171 with 12 kills and six errors on 35 attempts. After Marquette jumped out to a 4-3 advantage, Xavier scored
five straight points, taking an 8-4 lead. Marquette would regain a 19-18 lead before dropping seven of the next 10 points. Bailey led all players with five kills in the set and the Golden Eagles would improve as the match went on. In the second set, Marquette fought back well. The team never trailed and led by as much as many as 10 points. Despite having seven total service and hitting errors, Marquette won the game 25-18. Marquette’s 10 point lead was cut in half by a 7-2 Xavier run, but the Golden Eagles settled down and cruised to a seven point victory. Bailey had seven kills and an ace and
freshman setter Gabby Benda contributed 12 assists. The third set was Marquette’s best as the team recorded a .571 hitting percentage in a 2514 victory. The Golden Eagles scored eight of the game’s first 11 points and jumped out to a 5-0 lead before a Xavier timeout. The Musketeers would get as close as three, but could not overcome the Golden Eagles strong offense. Marquette was assisted by 11 total service and hitting errors by Xavier in the set and went on a 10-5 run to close the game. Gosh led the team in kills with six and Bailey was close behind with five. Marquette would go on to win
the match in the fourth set, 2519, thanks to a 6-0 run to finish the game. Xavier kept it close until the end, never trailing by more than four until a 19-19 tie gave way to a burst of Golden Eagle scoring. Barber led the team in scoring with six kills and Gosh, Niemann and Bailey all contributed three. Barber and Bailey put up four of the last six points, including an ace from Bailey. Marquette’s next game will be against DePaul at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct.11 at the McGrathPhillips Arena in Chicago.

Hockey faces Wildcats Club team heads to Evanston for slate against Northwestern
By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
After sweeping Illinois State the previous weekend, Marquette faces Northwestern for two games in Evanston, Ill. The Golden Eagles (7-2-1) will use the momentum from the sweep over the Redbirds to prepare for the series ahead. Head coach Will Jurgensen made it a point to increase the physicality of Monday’s practice after a wavering level of aggressiveness during their last home stand. “Monday was a tough practice, meaning a lot of skating and a lot of shooting, working with the goalies a lot to create high pressure situations we are going to see throughout the season,” Jurgensen said. “We worked on a lot of battle drills to increase physicality, and more than anything, we tried to keep an upbeat pace to the entire practice in order to mirror a 60-minute hockey game.” Wednesday’s preparation focused more on turnovers in the Marquette defensive zone. The Golden Eagles gave up two easy goals after miscommunication plays against the Redhawks, something they cannot allow against more challenging competition. “Wednesday’s practice will focus much more on our systems and full ice situations which always occur during the game,” Jurgensen said. “Some focal points for us that need improvement include first and foremost, our defensive turnovers need to be cut down. Other than that we will be working on set plays and system stuff to get prepared for Northwestern.” As for the team’s opponent, Northwestern is coming from a weekend trip Nashville trip, during which the team went 2-1 in the Scholar Shootout Tournament, hosted by Vanderbilt University. The Wildcats (3-3-0) played difficult foes in Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Florida, scoring 14 goals

during the weekend. Senior center Rick Gattone and junior center Daniel Loizzo are the biggest threats for the Golden Eagles. Gattone is coming off a tournament game against Wake Forest where he finished with a hat trick. Combined with Loizzo, the duo have eight goals in nine games, something the Golden Eagle defensemen will have to focus on. Despite the Wildcats’ talent, Jurgensen said he believes the games should be competitive due to a predictably large Marquette fan contingent. Northwestern is only an hour and a half away from Milwaukee and Marquette has ten players from
the Chicago area, which could create a favorable atmosphere for the Golden Eagles. “What is especially great about Northwestern is that a large portion of our team call Chicagoland home,” Jurgensen said. “We have always had a large Marquette fan section whenever we play in the Chicago area and I expect this weekend to be no different.” Following the trip to Evanston, Marquette will continue on its road trip during fall break, playing at Missouri State Oct. 16 and Arkansas Oct. 1718. The Golden Eagles then return home Oct. 24 to play Northern Illinois.
