MU lacking officer for sustainability after vice president retires

By Benjamin Lockwood

benjamin.lockwood@marquette.edu

Marquette has been without official leadership in its sustainability efforts since the retirement of vice president of planning Tom Ganey this October, and some think the university’s recognition as a green college by the Princeton Review may be on the line.

Although university spokesman Andy Brodzeller said a new officer is set to be announced in early spring 2015, members of Students for an Environmentally Active Campus said they think the university could be doing more to maintain its status as an eco-friendly campus.

Triniti Micek, a sophomore in the College of Engineering

and president of SEAC, said the club has been struggling without the proper leadership at the university level.

“To us, not having an (officer) of sustainability is a huge blow to sustainability on campus, and shows that the university doesn’t take it seriously,” Micek said Previous Sustainability Officer Mike Whittow worked as part of the Office of Administration prior to its dissolution last February. After the office was eliminated, Ganey took the reigns as sustainability officer, in addition to his other duties as vice president of planning.

During the interim, the Office of Finance will review the work and task force led by Ganey, and current efforts are expected to continue as planned.

“There is progression in sustainability at Marquette, and it’s something the university will continue to invest in,” Brodzeller said.

Some of the current efforts the university is engaged in include:

Increased recycling efforts, like painting and posting signage in trash rooms at residence halls.

• Collaborating with MUSG to sustain reusable “Ozzie” container use at dining halls.

• Certifying all new buildings on campus with environmental “LEED” certifications.

The university also invested $7 million in energy and water efficiency improvements and environmental sustainability is explicitly stated as one of the six major themes of the university’s strategic plan, Brodzeller said.

But environmental efforts took a hit last spring when Marquette severed ties with Milwaukeebased Growing Power, a group that aided in the university’s composting efforts, because they began charging for the service. Micek said SEAC is working on finding a new partnership to continue the composting efforts.

SEAC is also working on

getting better hand dryers in academic buildings to reduce paper towel waste, as well as continuing its “Take Back the Tap” campaign to sever the university’s relationship with Pepsi and convince students to make use of the newlyimplemented water bottle refilling stations around campus.

Another point of concern for Micek and previous SEAC officers has been that Marquette did not sign the St. Francis Pledge, a “Catholic Climate Covenant” for Catholic groups to take proactive measures against climate change.

SEAC and Marquette Student Government asked Marquette to sign the St. Francis Pledge last February.

David Mullins, a senior in the College of Engineering and former president of SEAC, said his time was also strained with getting things accomplished at the university level. “(When) I was in SEAC, it was always a struggle to get the

The student who received a serious brain injury last month while studying abroad in Spain was released from the hospital Wednesday.

“I got out of the hospital today,” Jennifer Waters said in a text on Wednesday. “I’ll be home in about two to three weeks and hopefully be back at (Marquette) for the spring semester.”

Lisa Waters, Jennifer’s mother, wrote a letter about Jennifer’s condition, which was posted Wednesday to the Waters Dental Group page on Facebook.

Lisa said Jennifer will stay in Spain for rehabilitation.

“Jennifer has strict orders to take care of her brain now so that it is healthy in the next 2060 years,” Lisa said in the post.

“We will see Dr. Sallabanda next Tuesday for a check-up and then again on Nov. 25 when he plans to remove the stitches.”

Jennifer was grazed by a car Oct. 19 on her way to a religious service. She fell back and hit her head, resulting in a cranial fracture.

“We will receive further instructions on the 25th as to when we can safely return home,” Lisa said in the post. “Jen will meet with a rehabilitation doctor at the hospital this Friday and a plan will be developed for her next rehab steps here.”

Lisa said her daughter is in good spirits.

“Jen’s sense of humor is definitely intact,” Lisa said in the post.

“While waiting to be released she tweeted ‘the hair on my legs is longer then than the hair on my head.’”

Jennifer’s accident required surgery to stop the bleeding and she was put into a medically-induced coma afterward. She woke from the coma Oct. 24, according to an email to the Marquette community from Vice President for Student Affairs L. Christopher Miller.

“We are told (Jennifer) is awake, her memory and speech are returning and she is eating and listening to music,” Miller said in the email.

News in Brief Pita Bros. to start construction The Pita Brothers truck is likely parked for the winter, but construction for the brick and mortar location will likely begin construction next week.

Vijay Swearingen, who cofounded Pita Brothers with his brother Manoj in 2009, said that the toughest part of the process so far has been signing a general contractor. The shop plans to sign one by the end of the week so it can begin construction as soon as possible.

“We hope to start construction work next week,” he said. “We are just waiting on the final revisions to be made and should have a decision on a general contractor by Friday.”

No official opening date has been announced but Swearingen hopes believes it will open by second semester.

“We should be open when students return from break,” Swearingen said.

UWM chancellor candidates listed University of Wisconsin System President Ray Cross announced, in a news release Wednesday, a list of three finalists for a permanent chancellor for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, filling in the vacancy left by now-Marquette President Michael Lovell.

The three finalists are: Gail Hackett, provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Missouri-Kansas City; Interim UWM Chancellor Mark Mone; and M. Mike Sherman, senior vice president and provost/ chief operating officer at the University of Akron.

Faculty, staff, students and community members will have the chance to interact with the candidates in a series of public forums. A campus search committee will announce a schedule for those meetings.

The candidates were recommended to Cross by a 27-member search and screen committee.

Grand Avenue Club offers insight on mental illness Panelists encourage people to get involved with those in need

By Devi Shastri

devi.shastri@marquette.edu

Members and staff from the Grand Avenue Club came to Marquette to share the impact of mental illness on their lives in the second “Meet Milwaukee” event from the Center for Community Service.

Rachel Forman, executive director of the GAC, opened the panel with a brief explanation of how she started the club in 1991 with the requirement that membership would be completely voluntary. The club provides a safe and supportive atmosphere where people with mental illnesses receive resources and support to become contributing members of society.

18th annual fashion show to support ArtWorks for MKE

By Stephanie Harte

stephanie.harte@marquette.edu

Marquette’s Bayanihan Student Organization will take guests back to the psychedelic 1960s this Saturday, Nov. 22, during its 18th annual fashion show, “The Bayanihan Experience.” The BSO fashion show is Marquette’s largest student-held fundraising event and will take place at 7 p.m. in the Alumni Memorial Union Grand Ballrooms.

The groovy theme is incorporated into this year’s show through vintage clothing and the 60s songs in each section of the dances.

Along with BSO, the Indian Student Organization, African Student Association, Hype Dance and the Meladies will be performing in the event. The format of the show includes a segment of dance, followed by the modeling of clothing to complement the dance.

“I like the idea of all these MU groups coming together for this one show,” said Riane Taday, the fashion show coordinator and choreographer and junior in the College of Business Administration.

“The fact that all our efforts are going towards a non-profit is very rewarding in the end.”

ArtWorks for Milwaukee is the non-profit organization that will be receiving the funds of this year’s show. BSO chose ArtWorks as its non-profit for last year as well, but ArtWorks decided to donate all the money raised to the typhoon victims in the Philippines instead.

“We thought we would reach out to them again after being

so generous last year,” Jasmine Alipio, fashion show coordinator and sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, said. “They are a great organization that helps students that don’t have opportunities like we do.” ArtWorks provides Milwaukee-area high school students with paid, artbased internships in order to develop career skills. BSO’s goal this year is to raise over $6,000 for the organization.

The fashion show coordinators started planning the event this summer by choosing the theme and non-profit, designing the logo and finding stores to lend clothes to be featured in the show. They also received a lot of help through event management at the AMU. “We are really grateful for the organized team at the AMU,” Taday said. “I’ve been there about ten times asking about publicity and other fashion show needs; without them, we would probably be lost.”

The coordinators also had to approach other organizations about participating in the show, as well as audition around 100 people to fill all the modeling and dance positions.

ReThreads, Pac Sun, Francesca’s, PINK and Marquette’s Spirit Shop lent clothes to be featured in the show. A boutique called Blessed even volunteered to make clothes especially for the event.

“We thought that was kind of insane when we first signed up with them,” Alipio said. “We asked, ‘Are you sure you can do this?’”

Traditional outfits provided by BSO members will also be featured in the show during the cultural portion.

The dance segments of the show add entertainment, as well as culture through the formal, modern, Filipino and Latin dances.

“Our rehearsal schedule has

been really crazy,” said Angela Masajo, sophomore in the College of Health Sciences and choreographer. “Groups are lucky if they are done rehearsing in two hours.”

All of the show’s choreographers have their own styles, and they collaborated to create the finished dances. “The songs gave me inspiration to determine how the dances should end up,” Taday said. “If I have an idea and vision, I want to propose it and see show it would look on stage.”

Marquette students who attend the fashion show have the opportunity to donate money to a great cause while enjoying a show packed with fashion and fine arts performances.

“Attending the show is a great way to see what Marquette has to offer, especially from a cultural standpoint,” said Michael Gonzalez, choreographer and sophomore in the College of Health Sciences.

“To be honest, I didn’t have any dance experience before BSO, but getting involved with the organization’s cultural dances last year led me to more opportunities in dance.”

The word “Bayanihan” refers to the spirit of community and cooperation and means working together to achieve a common goal. Masajo called BSO a “family” while Taday added that she is excited for the show’s participants.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the reactions of our own participants,” Taday said. “It’s almost like a teacher-student moment to see all the progress the participants have made from day one and watch them walk off stage and feel good about themselves.”

Tickets will be sold Nov. 17 - 21 in the AMU, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 the week of and $12 at the door.

‘Stitching History’ highlights Holocaust era dresses Jewish Museum displays Holocaust victim’s dress designs

By Hannah Byron

hannah.byron@marquette.edu

On display at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee are eight mannequins dressed eloquently in 1930s fashion.

However, they are more than just well crafted clothing, their get-ups tell a story of a woman named Hedvika Strnad.

The exhibit “Stitching History from the Holocaust” debuted in September and will run until Feb. 28, 2015. However, the process of compiling the designs and the letter began 15 years ago when relative Burton Strnad found a letter in his basement dating back to Dec. 11, 1939.

Written in cryptic text to avoid censorship from the Nazis, Paul Strnad wrote a letter to his cousin in Milwaukee asking for help in escaping from Czechoslovakia. Included in the letter were designs of eight colored drawings — an

Hedvika Strnad designed the exhibits dresses in the 1930s as an effort to come to America to become a seamstress and escape Nazi control.

evening gown, two coats, two suits and various daytime dresses — hoping it would help Hedvika, also known as Hedy, land a job as a dressmaker and demonstrate how useful they would be in America.

Apart from the letter secretly expressing refuge, the designs and a photograph of the two, not much was known about the Strnad’s until more research was conducted. The

efforts to bring Paul and Hedy to America failed, and they unfortunately perished in the Holocaust.

Burton Strnad gave the artifacts to the Jewish Museum Milwaukee in 1997, then known as an archive and historical society before it was converted into a museum in 2008, and the designs and letter were put on display for all to gaze upon and learn from. But the museum wanted

to do more to honor the Strnad’s memories by bringing Hedy’s dress designs to life.

Back in the fall of 2012, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater performed the production “The Diary of Anne Frank.” The costumes used in the play reflected the styles of the time. Because of this, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s Costume Shop was assigned the task of creating the dresses from Hedy’s work and embarked on the journey in 2013.

To do Hedy’s designs justice, the team of 10 people researched pieces from the era and began to carefully construct the dresses. Each article of clothing was meticulously created with Hedy’s vision in mind. The buttons were hand covered, the zippers were vintage and the patterns were hand painted. Even the tags inside the clothing have her name written on them in a way that reflects her actual signature. In all, the project took about 3,000 hours of work to complete.

Had Hedy and her husband successfully escaped Czechoslovakia, perhaps the women in Milwaukee would have been wearing her dresses—admiring their reflections in

the mirror—instead of marveling at them on the mannequins in a museum. Ellie Gettinger, the educational director at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee, hopes that if Hedy could see her dresses, she would approve of their adaptation of her designs.

“I think she would be proud of this achievement,” Gettinger said.

“This is like a message in a bottle in some ways. This was a plea for help during a time in which they’re demonstrating their usefulness in order to be able to come to this country. And I think we have shown by the recreation how talented this woman was.”

“These are really fine beautiful sketches that are wearable, and would really sit with this time period,” she continued. “I think she would have loved the work the Milwaukee Rep team put into her work.”

Tickets for “Stitching History from the Holocaust” can be purchased at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee. The museum is open on Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. The museum is closed on Saturdays.

‘MilRAWkee Alt’ puts pop spin on MKE landmarks Local artists come together to create unique collection

By Eva Schons Rodrigues Special to the Tribune Photographer Ryan Laessig and painter Amanda Iglinski brought Milwaukee to life with their project “MilRAWkee Alt.” Their collaboration features images of monsters and creatures all over downtown Milwaukee and is

one of the first projects to portray Milwaukee in such a unique and playful way.

Laessig is known for his professional photographic work for several magazines and websites. He is also involved in a project which showcases local tattoo artists and tattoo models. Iglinski works mostly with acrylics, airbrush and spray paint and does a lot of commissions for geek-themed artwork and portraits of pets and family. She is also working on a collaboration with Thaison Nguyen.

Laessig and Iglinski’s vision for “MilRAWkee Alt” stemmed from

Laessig and Iglinski’s “MilRAWkee Alt” pieces were created using photographs and acrylic paintings.

their mutual love for the city of Milwaukee and their appreciation of old sci-fi horror movies. As two artists with similar interests, their collaboration “seemed like the natural next step,” Laessig said, and it “feels like we work really well together.”

“You always see cities like New York or Chicago being attacked by creatures, so why not use Milwaukee?” the artists asked in an email, explaining their motivation for the project.

As for the title of this project, the artists explained how “Amanda runs ‘MilRAWkee,’ and Ryan owns ‘Milwaukee Alt,’ so we combined our names to present our collaborative work.”

The colorful pieces, which resulted from “MilRAWkee Alt,” were produced through a complex multi-step process, where Laessig would photograph landscapes of Milwaukee and Iglinski would use airbrush and acrylics to add the monsters and alter the photographs.

The artists also said that they “were both involved with every step of every piece and we each contributed input into what the other person was working on at the time. We

wanted to assure that the finished product looked like it was done by a single person.”

As a whole, the artists said the project is meant to show their love for Milwaukee and give the city’s landscape a “fun art flavor.”

Both Laessig and Iglinski are already working on their own separate projects, but are still showing the series in a variety of establishments around Milwaukee.

Thanksgiving Netflix Picks: “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”

By Jack Taylor

jack.taylor@marquette.edu

Well, it’s that time of year again.

Thanksgiving is a holiday to enjoy our friends, family and just about everything else we are thankful for.

Unfortunately for Neal Page (Steve Martin), it takes delayed flights, rental cars engulfed in flames and a disastrous travel halfway across the country before he can enjoy Thanksgiving with his family.

Page works as a marketer who finds himself in New York City for a business meeting two days before Thanksgiving. Booked for the 6:00 p.m. flight, he tells his wife he will make it back home to Chicago within a few hours. Immediately after leaving the office, Page begins a restless journey he will never forget.

Time is running out for Page to catch his plane to Chicago. The streets are crowded in New York City and Page finally catches a taxi cab to get him to the airport in time to catch his plane. After he flags down the cab, another man loads his luggage into the trunk and rides off. This is the audience’s first glimpse of Del Griffith (John Candy), a happy-go-lucky guy with a big heart.

The two coincidentally run into each other at the airport. Page immediately shows hostility toward an apologetic Griffith, establishing tension right from the start.

As the plane begins boarding, Page gets bumped into coach, despite the fact he purchased a firstclass ticket. He takes his seat and sure enough, Griffith plops down

right next to him.

A snowstorm prevents the flight from landing in Chicago, forcing the plane to land in Wichita, Kansas. Luckily for Page, Griffith has business connections to the owner of a nearby motel and invites him to come with for a place to stay. Thus begins the love-hate relationship between Neal Page and Del Griffith.

Steve Martin plays a man stuck inside his own shell. Neal Page is a cynical, uptight man with his mind set on getting home in time for Thanksgiving without any setbacks. Page spends most of the movie on the brink of losing his temper (and does so on several occasions). This, quite honestly, is a peculiar role for the hilarious Steve Martin.

His co-star, on the other hand, is a different story. Without John Candy, the movie falls apart. Candy perfectly molds into the role he was so brilliantly cast to play. Del Griffith has the spirit of a little kid.

His amiable personality is polaropposite of Martin’s character. John Candy nails the performance like a giant teddy bear. His character provides the majority of the laughs and keeps the plot moving along.

The first true head-to-head clash occurs in the Wichita motel room.

Griffith accidentally books a room with only one bed making for both an awkward and humorous situation. While Griffith makes the most of the mishap, Page sulks and complains about every detail. Everything - and I mean everything - sets these two apart. Page goes to sleep in a white undershirt and

boxer-shorts; Griffith wears topand-bottom pajamas. Page enjoys going to sleep immediately; Griffith must obnoxiously clear his sinuses, sounding like a pickup truck blowing on its horn before he can rest.

Page eventually loses his cool and blows up at Griffith, calling him out for pointless stories and obnoxious behavior. Candy delivers a response that truly defines Del Griffith: “I like me. I’m the real article. What you see is what you get.” It sets the stage for not only his own character, but it gives Page something to think about. Director John Hughes does a fantastic job of bringing this bit of dialogue full circle and tying it into the film’s emotional ending.

Page’s relationship with Griffith sets up to be an interesting one but turns out to become a repetitive cycle of acceptance, isolation, then acceptance followed by isolation all over again. In fact, the entire film quickly becomes predictable with a plot that goes around in circles.

The movie’s first half hour provides entertainment in the sense that whatever can go wrong, goes wrong. Delayed flights, brokendown train engines, missing rental cars; the list goes on. These countless incidents make Page wonder if it is simply bad luck or karma biting him in the butt, leading to Martin’s famous F-bomb rant at the car rental agency. These situations are so frequent, however, that the scenes become more of a tedious watch than a surprising unfolding.

It must be mentioned that Hughes penned a strong ending to the film, adding sentimentality to both of the characters. This is one bit of

the film that steps out of its own familiar formula. Once the two arrive back in Chicago and appear to head their separate ways, the script cannot rely on any number of disasters.

The end of the journey comes down to the characters and their true understanding of each other. The last fifteen minutes in particular truly capture the Thanksgiving spirit and remind us to love during the holiday season, no matter who we are or where we come from.

Despite Martin and Candy’s big names headlining the bill, “Planes,

Trains and Automobiles” is generally a one-trick pony, relying heavily on the physical comedy of John Candy to pull along the narrative.

Martin seems a bit out of place and misused overall. The film provides a good amount of laughs, and it emphasizes the importance of loving interaction, but the movie does not unfold quite as well as it should.

Although the ending significantly redeems the story, the film lacks certain elements that make me want to see it again.

Pabst housing plan could alienate international students

Photo via Flickr

Currently empty, the former bottling building will house international college students in 2016.

Our view: Offering exclusive housing for international college students may limit exposure to local culture and hinder efforts to integrate into campus communities.

The City of Milwaukee recently approved plans to convert the historic Pabst Brewing Company building into housing for international college students. The building, which currently sits empty off 9th St. and Juneau Ave., would possibly house international students from Marquette, Milwaukee Area Technical College, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Concordia University Wisconsin.

Some space will be reserved as extendedstay hotel rooms intended for students’ families or university visitors.

Marquette is not affiliated with the project financially yet upperclassman international students will have the option to reside in the complex.

Additional student housing is always welcome news for these urban campuses where housing is limited. However, this project’s focus on only housing international students raises concerns. Such a concentration may end up isolating a number of international students from their campuses, reducing their ability to integrate into the university community and fully experience American college life.

Current housing initiatives for incoming international students, such as Marquette’s Global Village, offer exchange students a real community to live in during their time here. The program specifically makes sure to involve current undergraduate students, or “ambassadors,” as a way to connect international students with Marquette students, allowing students to easily transition and integrate into Marquette’s larger community.

By living together and participating in Global Village programming, students are able to learn about each other’s cultures and gain a broader global perspective. Students from foreign countries can feel like an integral part of the Marquette community rather than merely visitors.

Similar options are offered through most of the study abroad programs available to Marquette students. Students abroad can take advantage of housing options that work to integrate them into the local community. Programs such as Marquette en

Madrid offer homestays, allowing students to live with a host family, while programs such John Cabot University in Rome and the National University of Ireland, Galway allow participants to live in student residences on or near their host campus.

Even when students opt for independent housing, there is still a chance for intercultural engagement with local students and residents living in the area. Ultimately, the mission, like that of Global Village, is to expose students to local culture and people while ensuring a smoother transition into a new environment.

The Pabst housing option, as of now, stands in contrast to this particular mission.

The Pabst building, which stands removed from all the university campuses, could alienate international students and keep them from feeling like a part of their campus community. The absence of American students from this housing also reduces the opportunity for international students to gain firsthand exposure to local youth customs and experiences.

Some logistical matters also need to be clarified. While the building stands fairly close to Marquette and MATC’s campuses, it is over five miles away from the CUW–Miller Park Way Center and four miles away from UWM. It raises issues about transportation, such as whether students living in the building would be offered a shuttle service, or if they would be expected to commute. Such distance may discourage students from living there and they could opt to live elsewhere on campus, thus defeating the building’s purpose.

All things considered, however, the new housing venture can still succeed. Rather than limiting the building to solely housing international students, the new dormitory could be treated like another living-learning community, allowing current students from each school to apply for spots in order to integrate international students with their campus communities.

The building is full of promise, but administrators from each school must be cautious of inadvertently isolating a portion of its student body by housing them away from campus and apart from other students. The schools involved must remember to work toward the creation of a solid campus community atmosphere for all of its students.

Elena Fransen Bill Cosby, past Marquette commencement speaker and comedian, has been in the media a lot lately, though not to publicize his now-delayed comedy special on Netflix nor his NBC comedy project, which was recently dropped. Instead, past charges that he sexually assaulted numerous women have been given new life with accusers making or renewing their claims publicly.

In 2004, Cosby settled with 13 women over a civil lawsuit for reportedly drugging and sexually assaulting them in the past. These instances were settled outside of the court, meaning the accusers were never able to provide their experiential evidence. This lack of closure means the case will never simply go away for Cosby or his accusers as the media and public remain attentive.

With the renewal of his alleged sexual assault history, “The Cosby Show” and “Kids Say the Darndest Things” star’s personal response is silence and an utter refusal to deny or accept these claims, offering only a legal statement that he discredits the claims and will not dignify them with a response.

This lack of response only fuels further speculation from the public as it comes to criticize the validity of the claims and Cosby’s role as new information comes forward.

The media’s renewed interest was set off by a viral standup performance by comedian Hannibal Buress, which included a joke about Cosby’s sexual history. Following new stories, Barbara Bowman, one of the 13 women who settled in 2004, wrote a Nov. 13 op-ed for the New York Times, drawing attention to the case and how her experience will not just go away.

This week, Janice Dickinson shared her experience of Bill Cosby assaulting her, which the media has spun into a slew of

headlines of accusations and allegations.

The language used by the media and the public to be politically correct and fair about reported sexual assault, in Cosby’s case and others, is biased as it demeans the crime and the experiences of the victims. Saying victims of sexual assault made allegations, implying there is no evidential proof, while saying the accused allegedly assaulted makes it clear whose side people come out on.

We tend to translate “allegedly” to mean we do not have to take the claim seriously. If it was really true, then there would be no allegations or questions about it, just hard evidence.

When the legal burden of proving a sexual assault occurred falls on the accuser, the accused gets to maintain his or her image without going into detail, especially with high profile cases. As is apparent in Cosby’s cases, many women have put their traumas on display to prove their claims, yet the public remains skeptical.

The power of public doubt can cause serious problems for individuals trying to pursue their case. This is a major problem within our society when dealing with sexual violence as it can deter victims from bringing up their cases in any way, whether it be with the police, a university or even with themselves.

While in the court of law, the accused is innocent until proven guilty, and the experiences of individuals should not be discounted or belittled. It seems that in the media, whoever has the greatest public support is able to dictate the story.

Media sources should note how word choices can affect the leanings of the public and create a bias. Less-charged language would be a positive step toward giving equal accommodation to both possible victims and possible assailants.

Allegations can be withdrawn and cases may be closed or settled out of court, but the media should be careful how it portrays incidents of sexual assault. It is not for the media to make a claim of innocence or guilt, as the focus should be on the individuals and the experiences they choose to share.

Diversity in immigration issues must be acknowledged

Matt Gozun The United States is a nation of immigrants. That phrase is repeated so often it has become cliché. As Americans, we pride ourselves on our immigrant roots, making pilgrimages to Ellis Island and calling ourselves Irish, Polish or German centuries after our ancestors left those countries. Thus, it might seem strange to see immigration continue to be such a contentious topic in recent years.

The main point of disagreement has to do with the United States’ southern border and the large influx of undocumented migrants from Mexico and various Central American countries.

Unfortunately, this single issue has dominated the topic of immigration, ignoring the great amount of cultural and economic diversity that characterizes American immigration.

All too often, policymakers and commentators take to describing ‘immigration issues’ when they actually are talking about issues specifically facing just one, albeit large, segment of the foreign-born population. It is inaccurate to describe bilingual public school programs as ‘pro-immigrant’ when the vast majority of them exclusively offer Spanish. Similarly, many immigrants are business owners and entrepreneurs, but based on how some politicians talk about them, it would appear the only way to improve their status would be through food stamps.

However, the fastest-growing segment of the American population are Asian and Asian-American, groups that contain incredible diversity within themselves. Asian immigrants have one of the highest rates of educational attainment, surpassing native-born

Americans, a trait shared with immigrants from Africa. In both economics and culture, it is clearly impossible to paint all immigrants with a single brush.

Perhaps most importantly, the narrow way we talk about immigration may be hampering attempts to actually reform the system. Amnesty, or the granting of legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants already in the country, is currently the most divisive topic facing Congress. With state and federal social programs already overstressed, certain policymakers believe adding millions of lower-income people to the welfare rolls will be a net drain on the system. At the same time, there are those who believe legal status will benefit the economy as the government will be able to legally tax millions of people who otherwise would have been paid under the table.

Regardless of what you think about amnesty, it is impossible to talk about immigration without mentioning it in some way. Yet this distracts from numerous initiatives that would make other aspects of immigration easier and happen to be

far less politically contentious. The U.S. is facing a shortage of science, technology, engineering and math professionals that could be reduced through skilled immigration. Unfortunately, the process of immigrating to the country can take years even for qualified individuals. Increasing the amount of H-1B, or skilled worker, visas could be used to relieve this problem, as would the granting of permanent resident status to foreign students who earn a highly skilled degree from an American university. These students use our educational infrastructure, and so forcing them go home results in an unnecessary loss for the country.

Immigration, like America itself, is a diverse issue with many aspects to consider. Viewing it under a single light is unfair for immigrants and hinders attempts to improve the system.

MU falls to Buckeyes 74-63 Height disadvantage, poor 3-point defense doom Golden Eagles

By Matt Barbato

matthew.barbato@marquette.edu

Marquette held its own for much of its road matchup against No. 20 Ohio State Buckeyes on Tuesday night, but came up short, as Ohio State prevailed by a 74-63 tally. Here are five key lessons learned from Marquette’s first of several measuring bar games during the non-conference schedule.

Marquette can compete They might have let the game get away from them in the final 10 minutes, but the Golden Eagles fought hard against a far better Buckeyes team in a tough road environment. Ohio State started the game shooting 7-of-8 from 3-point land.

A couple of missed threes here and there could have altered the game. Marquette’s perimeter defense was shoddy, but the Golden Eagles did force 13 first half turnovers.

Marquette was not expected to beat Ohio State Tuesday night, but it was encouraging to see the team stay alive for most of the action. It was certainly better than last year’s outcome, a 52-35 loss to a stronger Ohio State team at home.

Taylor’s inside game Steve Taylor Jr. opened some eyes with his offensive game in the frontcourt. Taylor scored a career-high 20 points and pulled down seven rebounds against a bigger Buckeye team. Marquette relied on him and dumped it down low quite often to try and beat Ohio State’s zone defense.

Taylor showed up last night and his performance on Tuesday night will need to be replicated on a consistent basis.

Perimeter shooting still a problem Ohio State shot lights out throughout Tuesday’s matchup and Marquette failed to counter. The Buckeyes shot 65.3

percent from the field, compared to just 46 percent from the Golden Eagles. The teams hit the same amount of 3-pointers, eight, but Marquette took 23 attempts from downtown.

Graduate student Matt Carlino was the only guard to score in double figures, but he did so on 3-of-9 shooting. This could be an interesting trend to keep an eye on for the BYU transfer.

Last season at BYU, Carlino averaged 13 points per game, but on 39 percent shooting. The

numbers show Carlino is a scorer by volume and his scoring may come at an inefficient rate.

Lack of depth will be pivotal Marquette was tired at the end of Tuesday night’s game and this trend should continue throughout the season. With only four players on the bench for Marquette until the first semester concludes, coach Steve Wojciechowski will have his hands full trying to keep

players fresh. Carlino logged 38 minutes, Taylor played 35 and Jajuan Johnson played 31. Juan Anderson was not far off with 28 minutes and every player except Deonte Burton played at least 16 minutes.

Interestingly, sophomore John Dawson did not see the floor on Tuesday night. His playing time will be something to keep an eye on going forward.

played pretty well in his first action against a quality opponent. Cohen had nine points on 60 percent shooting with three rebounds and two assists. He earned his second career start and played 20 minutes. Cohen looked like he belonged on the floor despite being a true freshman. He should be a fixture in the starting lineup as his game continues to develop.

Bailey receives AVCA Player of the Week award Sophomore had 50 kills, hit .341 in impressive weekend

By Hank Greening

henry.greening@marquette.edu

The American Volleyball Coaches Association named Marquette sophomore outside hitter Autumn Bailey as the Division I National Player of the Week this week, due to her 50-kill weekend on a combined .341 hitting percentage. Bailey is the first Marquette studentathlete to win the honor and only the second Big East player to be named AVCA Player of the Week.

Monday, Bailey was chosen as the Big East Offensive Player of the Week for the fourth time this season.

Marquette coach Ryan Theis admitted he does not usually point out the performance of individual players, but Bailey has been exceptional this season.

“What is allowing Autumn to have this much success is her improvement in all facets of the game,” Theis told GoMarquette.com. “She has become a better all-around player and is making much better decisions about what to do with the ball – when she is in trouble she keeps it in. She is starting to learn what shots to use and when, and that is why her efficiency was so good.

Her all-around game, middle back defense and passing have all gotten stronger through the course of the last off-season and earlier this year.”

The Burlington, Ontario, Canada native ranks in the top eight nationally in total kills and attacks, as well as average points, kills and attacks per set. Bailey is the only sophomore in the top-10 of any of those statistics.

However, Bailey is not alone in making waves in the Big East, as teammate Lauren Houg also earned conference honors this week. The sophomore libero was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll after a 29-dig performance in a loss to Seton Hall and 17 in Saturday night’s victory against

Villanova. The Golden Eagles as a team are in the top three of every major offensive category in the conference and lead the league in hitting percentage (.253).

Marquette (23-7, 13-4) is just a half-game behind second-place Seton Hall and 2.5 games back of conference-leading Creighton.

The Golden Eagles are not ranked in the AVCA polls, despite having the highest RPI out of any team in the conference (26). Marquette will face Seton Hall in the Big East semifinals, but whether they do so as the second or third seed in the tournament is yet to be determined. The team will need to take care of business against last place DePaul (3-26, 1-16) and will need

Seton Hall to lose both of its weekend matches against Georgetown and Creighton to have a shot at the two seed.

The Golden Eagles last played DePaul Oct. 11 and cruised to a 3-0 sweep against the Blue Demons, 25-15, 25-19 and 25-16. Bailey led all scorers with 16 kills and added five digs. Marquette forced 20 errors and held DePaul to a .111 hitting percentage, including .000 in the final set.

Marquette will square off against DePaul at the Al McGuire Center Saturday, Nov. 22 at 6 p.m., for the final regular season game of the year. Lindsey Gosh and Courtney Kintzel will be honored in a Senior Night ceremony before the match.

Golden Eagles head to North Carolina

By Jacob Born

jacob.born@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s basketball team will hit the road for the first time this season as the Golden Eagles take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

The Golden Eagles (1-1) are coming off a home win against Loyola-Chicago, the first of coach Carolyn Kieger’s career at Marquette. Wake Forest (2-0) opens the season on a four-game home stand and will be the first “power conference” opponent of the season for Marquette. The Golden Eagles defeated Wake Forest last season 90-71 in Milwaukee in the season opener for both teams.

Freshman Kenisha Bell has been a welcome surprise for the Golden Eagles, leading the team in points, averaging 15.5 per contest. Senior Arlesia Morse is just behind her, averaging 15 points per match. The duo also leads the team in minutes played by a sizable margin, with Morse averaging 32.5 minutes per game and Bell at 31 minutes per game.

Both command the guard position well, especially in the win against the Ramblers.

As a team, the Golden Eagles head into the road match shooting relatively well. The team has a 42.9 shooting percentage from the field, but is only shooting 29 percent from behind the arc. Senior Chelsie Butler has been the

best, converting 58.3 percent of her shots from the field. From the free throw line, Morse is perfect in her 12 attempts, while redshirt junior Lauren Tibbs has converted 12 of her 14 free throws.

After sitting out the Demon Deacons’ home opener, senior Dearica Hamby notched her 26th career double-double, scoring 20 points and bringing down 12 rebounds. Hamby ranks second on the team in points; sophomore Mykia Jones leads the team with 23 points and shot 56.3 percent from the field during the first two games.

The Demon Deacons shoot slightly worse than the Golden Eagles, only making 41.1 percent of shots from the field.

However, the team is shooting 37.9 percent from behind the 3-point line. Hamby and Amber Campbell are the free throw specialists for Wake Forest, as the two have made 75 free throws and are shooting a combined 87.5 percent from the charity stripe, respectively.

Both teams have had turnover problems to start the season.

Marquette averages 24 turnovers per game, while Wake Forest averages 21.5 per game. Because the Golden Eagles turn the ball over as much as the Demon Deacons, the team will have the ability to take chances on offense and to play the fast-paced offense Kieger likes so much.

While limiting the number of turnovers will be greatly beneficial for Marquette, losing the ball a few times might not hurt the team down the stretch.

Tip-off for the Golden Eagles is Friday at 5 p.m.

Growing lacrosse scene benefits MU

Jack Goods It does not take a long look at the Marquette lacrosse schedule to figure out it’s tough to get teams to come to Milwaukee.

Only three of the team’s 15 games will be played at Hart Park this spring, and only one is non-conference. For fans hoping to get a good look at the team, it’s an unfortunate reality.

Part of the issue is simple geography and economics. Besides Marquette, only three other Division I schools are in the Midwest: Ohio State, Detroit and Michigan. With schools always conscious of travel costs, it’s difficult to convince many teams to fly out to the third furthest west program in the country - Denver and Air Force being the more western teams.

However, as the sport grows, more opportunities may arise for the Golden Eagles. There have been rumblings of a new school, Cleveland State, joining the ranks as soon as 2016. According to Cleveland.com, the

school is expected to approve the addition of lacrosse within the next 30 days as part of its initiative to get “more academically qualified applicants.”

Although the announcement wouldn’t be one that would change the lacrosse landscape from day one, there’s reason for Marquette to be very pleased.

The immediate benefit to Marquette is another Midwest program – another easier team to schedule non-conference games against.

When looking at a more longterm goal, the issue of travel is once again front and center.

Lacrosse is growing rapidly, and many schools like Cleveland State seem interested in the applicants that adding the program would attract. However, when balancing the pros and cons, high travel costs could be at the top of the program’s negative list.

Lacrosse growth needs to move in waves, but it needs its starting outposts to begin that process. As more schools in the area add the sport, it will be easier for others to follow in their footsteps. If there are no schools nearby, a university could be very hesitant. But if four or five are within a realistic distance, the opportunity looks more promising.

Obviously Marquette would like to host more of its lacrosse

games at home. Part of the solution is out of Marquette’s hands, as it waits for more programs to emerge. The addition of an indoor recreational facility University President Michael Lovell discussed earlier this week could be an enormous step forward, as the team would be able to host games far earlier in the year than they are able to currently.

Creating a home field advantage and a culture around playing at Marquette are huge factors when it comes to recruiting and the program’s overall image. More home games also brings higher awareness to the team, giving fans more opportunities to get interested in the sport.

This issue is one of many Marquette knew it was walking into when the program began.

The team is in uncharted territory, working out the kinks involved in starting a new program. Its location may be an inconvenience right now, but by being one of the first Midwestern programs in the country, the Golden Eagles will likely be well-established by the time others make the move.

Men’s soccer reflects back on bittersweet season Golden Eagles fell short of season goal, but still made history

By Jack Goods

jack.goods@marquette.edu

With its season officially over without an NCAA tournament bid, the Marquette men’s soccer team is left wondering what might have been.

“It wasn’t the season in the end we thought it would be,” redshirt senior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon said. “We were able to accomplish so much but it’s a tough note to end on.”

The Golden Eagles had an incredibly successful non-conference season, which earned them a top-10 spot in the NCSAA polls at one point. However, they hit a rough patch in conference play, including a six-match winless streak.

The expectations and success early on makes this year’s outcome even tougher to swallow for the team.

“In a lot of aspects statistically we were better than we were the year before,” Marquette coach Louis Bennett said. “I think one, two more wins and we would have made it.”

In the most recent RPI, the Golden Eagles are 52nd, meaning one or two more wins might have moved them into the 48-team tournament.

“The style of play didn’t change during the season, we didn’t have major changes in personnel,” Lyon

said. “It just highlights the nature of the sport. … On any given day a team can be competitive.”

“I felt we still had a really good team that could do really great things,” redshirt junior defender Axel Sjoberg said. “We proved that in the non-conference play. The process of losing, it was unfamiliar.”

The question the team and its supporters are left to ponder is what necessarily went wrong.

“Over the past couple of days we’ve done a lot of reflection,” Bennett said. “It wasn’t necessarily one specific thing, but a combination of things.”

Bennett said untimely injuries were a major hurtle to overcome, and were a serious detriment to the team’s depth. The team was without both Alex McBride and Brady Wahl, who suffered a last-minute injury, in the Georgetown tournament match. The team was also without Nick Parianos during most of non-conference play after suffering a season-ending ACL tear.

Despite ending the season on a somber note, there were some very memorable moments this season.

Lyon set program records for consecutive shutout minutes and career shutouts. The Golden Eagles also won their two major rivalry games against Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Wisconsin-Madison.

The moment that stands out the most for Lyon was returning the Milwaukee Cup to Marquette. In that match, he made his first penalty shot save on UWM’s Laurie Bell. It was something he felt he was long overdue to accomplish.

Senior Charlie Lyon notched his name in Marquette lore this past season as the career shutouts leader.

For Sjoberg and Lyon, it is the end of the road as Marquette soccer players. “(Soccer) has been the majority of my time,” Lyon said. “To now have more free time and have different responsibilities, it’s a little bit of a shock. It doesn’t change the fact that (Marquette soccer) is always on my mind.”

Despite having one more year of NCAA eligibility, Sjoberg is

considering other soccer options for next season.

“I had a great four years, with Big East championships, both regular season and tournament,” Sjoberg said. “This season doesn’t take away from my overall experience. It hasn’t only been soccer that’s been great about being at Marquette. It’s been the school, the environment.”

Next semester, the soccer team

will begin preparations for the 2015 season. Although Marquette is losing some vocal leaders, many younger players stepped into major roles this season.

“This is by no means the end of an era,” Bennett said. “It’s in fact the beginning of era. Over the past four years we’ve been able to establish a level of play and level of competency that we want to build on. This year was a minor setback.”

Club hockey looks for revenge against UW-Plattville Golden Eagles face rematch of MACHA championship game

By Sterling Silver

sterling.silver@marquette.edu

Marquette club hockey (16-61) takes on the Platteville Pioneers in a rematch of last season’s Mid-American Collegiate

Hockey Association championship game. The 4-2 loss gave the Pioneers (6-6-0) the title and a chance to go to nationals, while Marquette’s season ended.

Despite the slower than usual start for the Pioneers, Marquette coach Will Jurgensen said the team is excited for the rematch.

“Like many of the teams in the MACHA, we have a lot of history with the WisconsinPlatteville team,” Jurgensen

said. “One of my most memorable moments was beating them in overtime during my senior night in front of a packed house.

Unfortunately though, they are not all great memories. Needless to say, they are a very good hockey team and we know to expect a very competitive game going into their home rink.”

The key for the Golden Eagles will be watching out for star Pioneer forward, Nate

Wojtynek. In only seven games this season, the sophomore already has nine points, including a four-goal game against Dordt College two weeks ago.

Alongside Wojtynek will be the sneaky scoring from defenseman Andy Behrend. The junior assistant captain also has nine points on the season and has had a knack for finding forwards in space, garnering six assists in seven games.

8,200 THANKS Thank you to all of our students for completing the academic integrity tutorial. This was the first of several activities planned with more to be announced in the future. Your participation and ongoing support for academic integrity is greatly appreciated.

Offensively, the Golden Eagles should be able to keep up their high scoring ways against Platteville goaltender Bryton Melenas. In four games, Melenas has a 5.17 goals against average and an abysmal .740 save percentage on the season.

Melenas has given up 16 goals in his last three games, so if he does not play, the Golden Eagles should be prepared for backup keeper Gavin Falk. In his only three appearances, the junior has given up eight goals and has a .900 save percentage.

Jurgensen says the team has practiced well this week in preparation for the Pioneers.

“The guys have been playing very well lately so our preparation for Platteville will be much the same as the past few weeks,” Jurgensen said.

“I feel like we’ve continued to progress as a team each week, so it’s important that we continue to improve on both our weaknesses and our strengths.

Winning seven out of our last eight is a prime example of our team moving in the right direction and continuing to work hard as a team.”

After a week off for Thanksgiving break, the road trip will conclude with an appearance in South Bend, Ind., when Marquette takes on Notre Dame.

The two games against the Irish will be the final games of 2014 for the Golden Eagles.

Marquette will return home for its first series of 2015 on January 23-24, when it faces Loyola-Chicago.
