Campus groups MU to distribute voter IDs despite Supreme Court block partner in clean up
Despite the United States Supreme Court’s decision to block the implementation of the Wisconsin voter ID law last month, the university will continue to distribute Marquette voter ID cards.
For the Nov. 4 midterm elections, the university distributed 145 voter IDs, according to Rob Mullens, manager of the Alumni Memorial Union’s Union Station. “Even though (the law) is currently on hold again, we are still distributing during our normal operating hours,” Mullens said. Mullens said Marquette purchased most of the equipment used to produce university voter IDs after the legislature passed Act 23 in 2011. He added that the cost to print IDs is minimal. Voter IDs from accredited Wisconsin universities are acceptable
under the current law, as long as they contain a date of issuance, student signature, expire within two years and are accompanied by a document proving the student is enrolled in the university. Ricky Kaufmann, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said he supports the use of voter ID because it helps students from out of state. “I think it’s a good idea because it encourages a demographic that historically has

Marquette Student Government partnered with university faculty, Milwaukee Police Department, local landlords and other community members to clean up the Avenues West neighborhood on Sunday.
MUSG legislative vice president Zach Wallace, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said the event, named Neighborhood Clean Up, was the first step in a continued partnership with the Avenues West Association. The event received 50 volunteers who met in O’Donnell Hall’s park and then cleaned up 24 blocks in the Avenues West district. “I hope this is a further catalyst to move our focus forward and create a stronger neighborhood,” See Avenues West, Page 2 SPORTS

Avenues: Students maintain surrounding properties Wallace said. Wallace said he hopes events like Neighborhood Clean Up continue throughout the year, and that there are plans to do a community service project at least once a semester. John Lambert, an Avenues West resident and employee in Cedar Square Apartments, said the neighborhood usually needs to be picked up after weekends. “It is usually pretty clean but after the weekends it agets a little dirty with cups and stuff, so it is a good idea to clean it,” Lambert said. MPD sergeant Carolyn Walker said the police force participates in the event every year, and that she thinks it is good for Marquette students to get out and show a presence in helping clean the neighborhood. Michael Southern, a property manager at The Marq apartment complex, said The Marq is working closely with MUSG to help the neighborhood. Southern
and five other Marq representatives got involved by signing up through Wallace. “It is something so easy and effortless that can really make a difference in the appearance of where you live,” Southern said, calling Neighborhood Clean Up a win-win for the community. Connecting Marquette students who take communications, service learning and art classes, Wallace said, is one way MUSG is trying to strengthen its relationship with Avenues West. In addition, MUSG is participating in initiatives that include partnering with local school governments and starting a program where local residents can have easier access to fresh produce. “One of the goals from today was just to increase awareness with some of the assets that we have in this community,” Wallace said. “We are trying to put value in our neighborhood and take ownership of what goes on here.”
Oct. 31 Between 11:45 p.m. on Oct. 29 and 12 a.m. on Oct. 30, a student and an acquaintance not affiliated with Marquette were involved in a verbal and physical altercation in Humphrey Hall. MPD will be notified. A taxi cab driver reported that between 2:20 and 2:30 a.m., three students exited his vehicle in 700 block of N. 13th St. without paying the fare. DPS was able to locate one of the students, and the student made restitution. At 11:53 a.m., three students were in possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia in the 1300 block of W. Kilbourn Ave. and were taken into custody by MPD, cited and released.

Biomedical professors receive $1.89M Grant to study link between stress, drug addiction in brain By Devi Shastri
devi.shastri@marquette.edu
Four professors in the College of Health Sciences were awarded a $1.85 million research grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to continue understanding the neurobiological relationship between stress and addiction . Paul Gasser, Robert Wheeler, John Mantsch and David Baker received the grant in September for various experiments done in their labs to detail the cellular factors that contribute to drug addiction in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter - a signal for communication in the brain - which stimulates the brain’s reward center. This reward center is the area stimulated during eating or sex, and the brain’s
nucleus accumbens plays a large role in the process. According to the NIDA, dopamine is removed from the space where neurons, or brain cells, communicate to create a brain circuit by the dopamine transporter. Extensive research of the dopamine transporter has revealed that it can be blocked by cocaine and other drugs. This means that people who take drugs prolong dopamine’s signals by keeping it from being removed. Until recently, the scientific community believed that the dopamine transporter was the only transporter doing this work. However, Gasser’s lab is working to explain the functions of another transporter called OCT3. Gasser’s research indicates that OCT3 is blocked by stress hormones. “What we’re talking about is a transporter that has really not been very well studied in the brain,” Gasser said. The four labs are working to understand how OCT3 removes dopamine and other signals related to mood, like serotonin and norepinephrine, from the synapse.
DPS Reports Oct. 29 At 9:38 p.m., unknown person(s) removed a door handle and face plate from a door in Structure One. Estimated loss is unknown at this time. Facilities Services was contacted.

A person not affiliated with Marquette reported being approached by two unidentified subjects at 6:55 p.m. in the 1800 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. One of the subjects displayed a weapon and demanded the victim’s property. The subjects then fled with the property. Estimated loss is $128. MPD was contacted. A student reported giving her cell phone to an unidentified subject between 11 and 11:22 p.m. in the 1800 of W. Kilbourn Ave. and the subject then threw the phone on the ground and fled the scene. Estimated damage to the phone is $150. Nov. 1 At 11:28 p.m., unknown person(s) discharged a fire extinguisher without cause in McCormick Hall. A student walking in the 1900 block of W. Kilbourn Ave. at 8:56 p.m. was approached by an unidentified subject that exited a vehicle. The subject displayed a weapon and demanded
While Gasser’s lab works to understand OCT3 blockage and function, Baker and Mantsch’s labs study cocaine addiction and Wheeler’s measures transporter activity. Though it is common for researchers to work together from different institutions, this collaboration among Marquette faculty is considered rare, as is winning such a large grant. “It’s gone from 30 percent of grants being accepted to about 10 percent, so getting the grant itself could be called rare,” Gasser said. “This is a project that truly could not have happened if these four labs had not been here at Marquette.” The funds, which have yet to be disbursed, will go toward maintaining facilities and equipment needed to conduct the experiments. They will also maintain the four labs’ abilities to bring in undergraduates, graduates and post-doctoral students to partake in the research. “It is really cool to see how much of a collaborative experience science is,” said Austin Bohn, a
sophomore in the College of Health Sciences. Bohn does surgery on the animals in Wheeler’s lab so that brain activity can be analyzed by a technique found in few labs across the nation: fast-scan cyclic voltammetry. “We [students] certainly all realize we’re getting an experience that’s really unique,” Bohn said. Wheeler said fast-scan cyclic voltammetry is an incredibly difficult technique performed with fragile equipment. Gathering data involves many failed attempts which teach students and faculty alike the value of patience and the struggles faced in scientific inquiry. “I think that getting funding for research on this level has its biggest impact on students by allowing them to participate in preclinical scientific investigations,” said Wheeler of the grant’s impact on the Marquette community. “The more pre-clinical research that goes on at Marquette University, the better it serves our students by showing them that scientific careers can be exciting and fulfilling.”
Events Calendar the student’s property. The subject then fled with the student’s property in a vehicle with two other unidentified subjects. The student was not injured. The estimated loss is $450. MPD was contacted. Nov. 2 At 1:06 a.m., DPS observed an underage, intoxicated student stumbling in the 1700 block of W. Wells. The student refused to cooperate with DPS and continued to McCormick Hall where he continued to be uncooperative. MPD was contacted and cited the student. A person not affiliated with Marquette reported that between 1 and 8 a.m., unknown person(s) vandalized drywall in a building in the 800 block of N. 17th St. causing an estimated $100 in damage. Nov. 3 At 3 a.m., unknown person(s) threw a microwave out a window in Schroeder Hall. An investigation is ongoing.

35,000 people go to Freakfest UW-Madison attracts large crowds, drug crimes for Halloween By McKenna Oxenden
mckenna.oxenden@marquette.edu
Punctuated this year’s Freakfest, an annual Halloween celebration located on State Street, one block off the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. More than 35,000 people gathered in the closed-off streets surrounding Madison on Halloween weekend. According to Joel DeSpain, a Madison Police Department spokesperson, this year’s festival had a “wellbehaved crowd,” compared to previous years. Breanna Subotich, a junior in the College of Business Administration, was one of the Marquette students who made the trek to Madison. She said every house was jam-packed with people. Major reported incidents from the festival include a possible heroin overdose and face in-
juries suffered from “falling stars” that were thrown into the crowd. Madison had crimes similar to Marquette, including citations for alcohol in the open, disposing of waste in a public place and disorderly conduct. There were 14 crimes reported to Marquette’s Department of Public Safety on Halloween weekend. The majority of those crimes were underage alcohol consumption, with four offenses. Robbery, battery, vandalism and drug offenses make up the rest. Austen Ezzel, a junior in the College of Business Administration and Freakfest attendee, said he felt “very safe” due to the rent-a-cops that were stationed outside many apartment buildings surrounding Madison’s campus. Subotich said she thought there was a large presence of cops on the scene. “(Cops) were always stopping to talk to kids on the street if they didn’t look like they were doing well,” Subotich said. The University of WisconsinMadison’s enrollment of graduate and undergraduate students
totals around 39,000 people, while Marquette’s student population is around 12,000 people. Both Ezzel and Subotich said they think much of the buzz around Freakfest comes from the large number of attendees it receives. “Madison is just Marquette on a bigger stage, but that’s more due to the fact that it’s a public school,” Ezzel said. “I know my friends (at Marquette) had a very similar weekend than I did.” Alex Hale, a junior in the College of Nursing and Freakfest attendee, said she thinks Marquette does not have a general area to congregate. She said “it was nice to see an event that everyone could go to.” The majority of Freakfest attendees dressed up in costumes, which ranged from the seven dwarves, “Holes” characters and Hale’s favorite: the sinking of the Titanic. Subotich summed up Madison’s Freakfest as “quite the experience.” Hale echoed by saying the festival “was a little overwhelming but definitely fun to do at least once.”

Voter: Students do not need to show ID at polls low turnout (out-of-state students) to come out on election day to vote.” Since the standard Marquette ID does not comply with these standards, the university is offering voter ID cards for free. Students who wish to register for one of these cards can do so in Union Station Monday through Friday. “The university determined the most cost-effective way to meet the requirements of the law (not currently in place) was to provide a unique voter ID card,” said Mary Czech-Mrochinski, director of governmental and community affairs in the Office of Public Affairs. The U.S. Supreme Court has
not yet ruled on the constitutionality of the voter identification law. However, the court must decide whether or not to take the case before it can determine the law’s constitutionality. U.S. district judge Lynn Adelman declared the voter ID law unconstitutional last April, claiming that the legislation violated the Voting Rights Act. The 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals reversed her decision in September. The voter ID law remains constitutional until the Supreme Court rules against it. Election polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 4 in the AMU and other locations throughout campus.
State legislator speaks at MU College Republican meeting Rep. Kooyenga talks fiscal responsibility, Act 10 in schools By Joseph Cahill
joseph.cahill@marquette.edu
State Rep. Dale Kooyenga (RBrookfield) came to the Marquette College Republicans meeting Monday afternoon — just one day before the November election — to discuss conservative policies and responsible fiscal spending. Kooyenga encouraged students to head to the polls Tuesday, praising Gov. Scott Walker on the risks he has taken in office, and claiming that these risks have sent a message to conservatives across the nation. According to the last Marquette Law Poll, Walker is leading against Democratic challenger Mary Burke by seven points among likely voters. “When Republicans generally
get elected, they go the safe bet, and don’t rock the boat,” Kooyenga said. “We need people who get there and rock the boat. Governor Walker has been rewarded for that.” Marquette’s College Democrats have not brought in speakers to support Burke in the past few weeks, although they brought in State Rep. Evan Goyke (D-Milwaukee) in September. Kooyenga, who was previously an accountant, shared stories about friends he lost while serving in Iraq as well as lessons he learned from the experience. “I personally feel our greatest threat to the nation is not some jihadist in Iraq or Afghanistan,” he said. “The greatest threat to our nation is our fiscal irresponsibility.” Kooyenga explained that he ran for office because he had the military and financial background he thought someone in office should have. Kooyenga won his race with 61 percent of the vote in 2010. He also spent time discussing Act 10, the bill which ended collective
bargaining rights for some public unions in the state. He argued that Act 10 was originally intended as a financial reform bill, but eventually became a reform for the state’s public schools. He said Act 10 eventually led to a tuition freeze throughout the University of Wisconsin System and pointed out that since 2010, graduation rates and ACT scores have risen, especially for minority graduation rates. “There has never been a governor in Wisconsin that has had such a significant increase in the minority graduation rate,” he said. In terms of attracting businesses to Wisconsin, the legislator proposed implementing tax cuts along with fiscal responsibility. He said the state is “making progress” but that other states with right-to-work laws and lower income taxes are better places to do business. “Both businesses and consumers win when we are a free market,” he said.

Walker Square Park celebrates Mexican culture through art By Stephanie Harte
stephanie.harte@marquette.edu
Milwaukeeans gathered to experience Dia de los Muertos on Saturday. Walker Square Park came alive with giant paper mache skulls and ofrendas (offerings) proudly carried by eccentric parade participants with skull-painted faces and festive costumes. The procession began with a prayer in the middle of Walker Square Park, dedicating the parade to loved ones lost through violence. After the prayer, drums picked up and began to lead parade participants east down National Avenue. As part of Day of the Dead tradition, Mexican families build altars in the days preceding Nov. 1. Many altars featured in Saturday’s parade were decorated with pictures of the deceased and items they once owned. These items included sweets they enjoyed or dolls and toys from their childhood. Some parade guests simply carried signs with their deceased loved ones’ pictures and their dates of death. Ofrendas were meant to
welcome the deceased back for a short visit with their family and friends. They included sugar skulls, adding a festive element. Incense and other sweet smells were also common sights throughout the park. The appealing scents are meant to guide the deceased to their altars. Guests created the sugar skulls by making a mold out of meringue powder, sugar and water. The mix is then put into a plastic skull mold for five to six hours to dry and take form. Once the mold is dry, a scoop is taken out of the center. The center is then filled with glue in order for the front and back to stick together. After the skulls dry, it is time for them to be decorated. People decorate sugar skulls with bright colors and glitter to add illumination to the altars. Some sugar skulls even include the name of the recipient on them in icing on the forehead. Icing designs on the skull heads are in vivid colors such as bright yellow, hot pink and neon blue. Feathers, beads and rhinestones stick to the icing and make the skulls even more eye-popping. The faces on sugar skulls are always happy and smiling. The skulls are meant to be cheerful and not morbid in order to clear away bad vibes from the spirits. The altars were also decorated with “papel picados,” a phrase that literally translates to

perforated paper. Papel picados are detailed hand-cut designs on brightly colored tissue paper that add flare to the ofrendas. Papel picados also appear during other special occasions in the Mexican tradition such as weddings, Easter and Christmas. Common papel picado designs in Saturday’s celebration included humorous images of skulls and skeletons. The skeletons in the designs were shown dancing or smiling, and even playing instruments. Like the sugar skulls, papel picado designs are meant
to emphasize the lighthearted, celebratory aspect of Dia de los Muertos. Papel picado designs typically use purple, orange and pink paper to stand out. This practice of Mexican paper cutting traces back to the Aztecs, who were also honored in Saturday’s celebration through dances following the procession. Before the Spanish invasion in the early 16th century, the Aztecs thrived. They cut detailed designs using paper made from mulberry and fig trees. Ancient Aztecs referred to the designs as amatl. Amatl
designs served as decorations in festivals and typically depicted gods and goddesses. After the Spanish invasion, Mexico adopted the practice, and it has evolved over the years, becoming more complex and detailed. Since the skull is the symbol of Dia de los Muertos, the giant paper mache skulls carried by parade participants served as another way to honor the deceased loved ones. These skulls are made from large balloons, empty jars, tissue paper, battery powered light and modeling clay. Parade guests made their giant skulls by blowing up a large balloon a day in advance in order to make it more flexible. They then took their balloons and attached them to an empty jar with masking tape. The next step is to cover the balloon with two layers of tissue paper using glue and a paintbrush. Once the skull is dry, artists cut out the faces of the skull and attach them to giant sticks in order to display them in the parade. The vibrant artistic aspects enhanced Saturday’s parade celebration of Dia de los Muertos. The artists’ time and effort was apparent through the great amount of details on each paper mache skull and altar. The art taught parade guests about the rich traditions and ancient history of Dia De Los Muertos.
Magic in Literature class added for spring semester New course to cover works from Tolkien, Shakespeare, Rowling By Paige Lloyd
paige.lloyd@marquette.edu
For many students, class enrollment simply requires signing up for predetermined courses on a specified pathway to their selected major. Others seek to enroll in more interesting courses, such as Magic in Literature, which will be offered for the first
time in the spring 2015 semester. The course is listed on Checkmarq as ENGL 3000, section 101, an introductory course within the English Department. Professor Gerard Canavan will be teaching this class in the spring. He explained the reasoning behind its introduction into the preexisting course list. “We realized that we were constricting students’ options by having too many and too specific of requirements,” Canavan said. “We changed things around so that students were able to build their own major within the
y Lux L ive
The
English department based on studying the things that were vital and important to them.” The course will look at different types of literature that involve magic and then look at them through religious, philosophical and theoretical lenses. Canavan said that the class will examine work through “a new critical lens, a new historicist lens, a feminist lens, a Marxist lens, a post-colonial lens and a post-theoretical lens, answering the questions of ‘What might Karl Marx have to say about Harry Potter?’ or
‘What would Freud say?’” The course will cover texts such as “The Tempest,” “Arabian Nights,” “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” and “Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix.” “Students will come out of the course able to read texts from a multitude of critical positions and provide strong textual analysis based on the style of criticism that makes the most sense to them,” Canavan said. “I think we will be able to have some really interesting conversations about the political and cultural functions of these kinds

of stories, trying to figure out why they’ve become such an important part of childhood and children’s literature.” The enchanting new course offers students the unique opportunity to explore literary themes across a range of dimensions and realms. “I think the flexibility of the course will allow us to explore a lot of different types of texts and cultural artifacts from the position of 21st century scholarship and really take them apart to see how they work,” Canavan said.

Classic Netflix Picks: “The Usual Suspects” By Jack Taylor
jack.taylor@marquette.edu
Let us start off by covering the movie’s plot holes; it has quite a few. It is hard to find a movie without them. Plot holes usually make up the formula for a mediocre film, but this is a different case. “The Usual Suspects” is told in such an intricate, yet highly clever manner that it blows our minds anyway. The story is an engaging one, shown through a series of flashbacks narrated by Kevin Spacey’s character, crippled con artist Roger “Verbal” Kint. Verbal comes off as a naive, emotionless character during his interrogation scenes, often referencing his own ignorance and case of cerebral palsy. US Customs Agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) brings in Verbal for questioning after the DEA finds him on a crime scene. Only two men make it out of a bloody gunfight on a dock, and Verbal is one of the survivors. The movie opens up with what appears to be the tail-end of a climatic scene. All we see is a man shot and killed by a mysterious figure who proceeds to light the dock on fire. Agent Kujan is determined to find out who that man was and why the gunfight happened. Although Verbal initially chooses not to cooperate, investigators are able to come up with a name from the other survivor. The name is Keyser Soze,
an enigmatic mob boss whose legend strikes fear in the minds of any criminal. Kujan makes it his own responsibility to find out whether or not Soze exists through Verbal’s recollections. This story begins with Verbal joining forces with four other con men to carry out a largescale, multi-million dollar jewelry heist. One thing leads to another as the group follows the money all the way from New York City to California. After a few set-ups, the con artists find themselves in a deep hole overlooked by Keyser Soze. Kevin Spacey spends the first half of the film outsmarting the cop, cleverly refusing to give any information, often denying Kujan’s angry accusations with a calm demeanor. Once the name Keyser Soze is mentioned, however, Spacey’s character takes a significant turn. Verbal suddenly becomes extremely tense and rather frightened. The only thing that strikes emotion in this character is the mention of Keyser Soze, causing Verbal to become rather devastated. This Soze character is built up to be an indestructible, god-like power in the mob industry. When asked why he did not try to kill Soze, Verbal tells Kujan, “How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?” The hype surrounding this Soze character is enough to drive the plot alone. Yet the thing that makes this movie
special is each character brings a different personality to the table. The entire Christopher McQuarrie script consists of headto-head dialogue that translates extremely well to the screen. Even within the assembled team of criminals, heads clash, causing melodramatic relationships as the crimes intensify. Just when the movie seems to wrap up, director Bryan Singer delivers an ending that tops any surprise twist we have seen before. A powerful movie leads the audience in one direction for the entire film only to yank them away during the climax, thus letting everyone’s guard down. Bryan Singer creatively does this with “The Usual Suspects.” We spend the movie piecing together elements of the puzzle only to discover all of our hard work go to waste. Every good movie has a twist here and there, but “The Usual Suspects” delivers it when it counts, and it’s delivered with a hard punch. Kevin Spacey won his first Academy Award in “The Usual Suspects” for his role as Verbal (Best Supporting Actor). The movie consists of other famous actors alongside Spacey, Benicio del Toro and Stephen Baldwin to mention a few. With only an estimated $6 million budget, the producers were able to assemble quite the cast. “The Usual Suspects” holds significant replay value. In fact, the film will surely be even
better the second time around. The movie has a highly artistic way of telling a typical crime story, firing on all cylinders and even adding a few laughs here and there. Kevin Spacey’s brilliance is only one of the many
contributions to the ingenious film that is “The Usual Suspects,” and the movie is definitely one to check out as soon as you can. And maybe once again after that. Or even twice.

The 1975 to bring unique show to Eagles Ballroom
English indie-rock band to perform in MKE on Nov. 7 By Sarah Schlaefke
sarah.schlaefke@marquette.edu
With quirky guitar tunes, intriguing lyrics and plenty of hair flips, The 1975 will return to Milwaukee’s own Eagles Ballroom with their one-of-a-kind indie rock performance this Friday, Nov. 7. For one of The 1975’s opening bands, the name says it all. Young Rising Sons, an up-andcoming band right out of New Jersey, spreads uplifting and lighthearted messages with its music. Comparable to American Authors’ freewheeling whistling, Young Rising Sons’ recently released debut EP, “High,” contains songs that encourage listeners to have a feel-good attitude and enjoy life. Sprouting from early inspirations by The Beatles and The Temptations, Young Rising Sons’ alternative easy rock set makes a suitable fit as the precursor to the show The 1975 is bound to put on.
Also joining the opening lineup is CRUISR, a Philadelphiabased band dedicated to sharing upbeat hits. Full of summery, easy-going hooks, this indiegem of a band’s new EP, “All Over,” will be effortless for its listeners to fall in love with. The happy, bright sounds will provide an excellent contrast to the more robust and dark sounds of The 1975. Established in Manchester, England in 2012, The 1975 is made up of Matthew Healy, (vocals, guitar), Adam Hann (guitar), George Daniel (drums, backing vocals) and Ross MacDonald (bass). After spending their early years covering punk songs at local pubs, BBC Radio’s Zane Lowe debuted their now-popular song, “Sex,” sending The 1975 into national stardom. The group passionately presents a unique indie alternative rock in their music, incorporating eerie and creamy vocals and anthem-esque choruses. The 1975’s self-titled album contains simply named tunes with cryptic stories about life and death, love and hope that could be straight out of a John Hughes movie. As a Halloween treat, The 1975 unveiled its newest single,

The 1975 released its premiere, self-titled album in 2013, featuring tracks like “Chocolate” and “Sex.”
“Medicine.” It was written as a re-score for the movie, “Drive,” an indie thriller. The song lyrically seems to be written about a deep love that must be left but in turn serves as a grave for Healy’s hurting ideas, according to him. The piece ends with a peaceful instrumental, allowing any listener to dwell on the
lyrics and their own thoughts in reflection of the music. With soft undertones, a classical hint and The 1975’s distinct amplified guitar threads, the slow and relaxed “Medicine” acts as a perfect continuance to the band’s daunting standard of music. With the exclusive tunes and the unmistakable personalities
of each of these bands, the Eagles Ballroom will be anything but comatose on Friday night. The indie-heavy line up for Nov. 7 will allow Milwaukeeans to get a good fix and hold on to summer for just a little bit longer before facing a harsh Midwestern winter.

DPS reports depict efficiency of campus preparations
Illustration by Lily Stanicek/lily.stanicek@marquette.edu
Our view: DPS and the administration’s campus preparations for Halloween showed positive results and signify the need for similar initiatives year-round. While students picked out their costumes and planned their party routes last week, campus prepared different security measures to meet the demands of the holiday. Leading up to the Halloween weekend, students received several notices from both the administration, as well as offcampus proprietors, reminding them to enjoy the holiday safely. Properties such as Renee Row emailed their tenants to inform them of increased Department of Public Safety and Milwaukee Police Department patrols, asking tenants to host parties responsibly, bearing in mind the risks of public intoxication and underage drinking. Meanwhile, Vice President for Student Affairs L. Christopher Miller sent out an email promoting alcohol-free events on campus as well as safety resources, such as the BlueLight Campus Safety app and Uber rides. So how did Marquette fare this weekend? According to the DPS Daily Log, there were approximately 20 incidents between Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1. However, only eight occurred late at night, peak party time, of which only half were drug or alcohol offenses. It is impossible to determine an exact correlation between the advisory notices and the number of incidents on campus, but it seems apparent that this weekend, known for its heavy partying and shenanigans, students were part of fewer incidents than originally anticipated. The number of incidents depicts a safer Halloween, with students hopefully acting to ensure their own and others’ safety. However, it just indicates DPS
and the campus community must continue security measures and maintain initiatives during high-risk weekends as well as the rest of the year. For this Halloween weekend, Marquette offered a coupon code for a free first-time ride with Uber. It would be interesting to see this initiative continue during other high-risk times of the year, such as St. Patrick’s Day. It is a way to encourage safe transportation and avoid potentially dangerous situations that sometimes come with heavy drinking. Such services could continue throughout the year, as reality shows students drink throughout the year, on holidays and non-holidays. A refresher on Marquette’s drug and alcohol policy, including consequences of its breach, would also be useful. Increased patrols in the area leads to faster responses to crime but students should be consistently aware of what they can get in trouble for and the possible consequences. This would be a better tactic to nip potential alcohol-related incidents early. Consequences can range from a disciplinary hearing before the student conduct board, to fines and expulsion from the institution. If students are reminded of these consequences in a clear manner, they may think before putting themselves in unsafe situations with alcohol or drugs. Overall, it is good to see incident numbers reasonably low, and preemptive notices were a part of this safer environment. However, maintaining and encouraging student safety throughout the year is necessary, and the administration should continue their efforts to urge students to think and act in a smart way when drinking is involved.
Elena Fransen In a year that seems wracked with rising crime, nationwide, from Ferguson to Milwaukee, the need for local action and unity is great. This week, there is good news in this area for Milwaukee, as three local community groups will receive national awards. On Thursday, the MetLife Foundation and Local Initiatives Support Corporation will grant $15,000 to Riverworks Development Corporation, Holton Youth and Family Center and United Methodist Children’s Services on behalf of Washington Park Partners for their anti-crime work. When it comes to crime, we tend to overlook the power of community action and place the burden of stopping crime on police forces. It is important to note that crime happens within communities, and community members have the ability to organize effectively on the local level against the problem. The three groups have different local focuses, from creating youth-driven programming to making city neighborhoods better by rooting out businesses that propagate crime. They live where the crime happens and try to collectively change the environment with the goal of eliminating all crime. These non-profits operate in a very challenging realm, where they need money and volunteers to stay in action, yet have seen great results for their efforts. Milwaukee organizations won three of the 11 awards given nationally this year, showing that current anti-crime efforts in the city are getting the support and recognition on the national level. These organizations’ work will only continue to grow as crime remains a constant problem. This is the plane where things really change. We can harp all we want about better policing and more concrete laws but as these tend to come up short or fail to address greater problems, local
communities can go the extra mile to make a difference. Community members see the problems around them on a regular basis and have a better idea of what factors need to change to solve them. When knowledgeable people become proactive in a positive way, they can make the change they want to see in their community and city a reality. It is important such community organizations receive the monetary and volunteer support they need to keep working for change. The three Milwaukee group award recipients now have greater resources and exposure so they can serve their neighborhoods from a more capable position. However, there are many other nonprofit organizations which lack financial support and face greater competition for grants, though they do good work, that are on the verge of throwing in the towel or limiting their services. A 2014 Public Policy Forum report showed that with a recent boom in nonprofits, 38 percent plan to cut or eliminate services in an attempt to avoid closure. Too often the work necessary to address crime in its many forms is impeded by monetary restrictions. Such organizations’ work remains important and finances should not keep change from being a reality in areas that really need it. From the current recognition of Riverworks Development Corp., Holton Youth and Family Center and United Methodist Children’s Services, on the local and national level, it is clear how incredibly important community efforts are to addressing problems within the city. We need to recognize and support such groups, through spreading the word, monetary or volunteer support, so they may continue to work in the community. Sure, financial support is probably the most desirable form of aid, yet just recognizing the work of community organizations can be helpful to their efforts as well as our own perspective. When chaos surrounds us and things seem hopeless, it is empowering to notice how people continue to work and defy seemingly unbeatable odds. We just need to make sure the odds are not too great for community groups to overcome. Elena Fransen is a senior studying history, philosophy and women's and gender studies.

Campus disability accommodations stand to improve
Sarah Patel Being blind, I have gone through classes and campus life different from the majority of students at Marquette. This also applies to others who have some sort of disability. Having a disability, whether it is learning or mobility-related, greatly affects how one experiences college and campus. For those with disabilities, thinking three steps ahead is essential. For me, this includes finding text books and other class materials in a different format, learning how to navigate different websites used in class and walking through my schedule so I can find my classes. For others, it may include finding wheelchair-friendly ways to get around campus or discussing accommodations with new professors because of a learning disability. Most often, it comes down to those with disabilities to advocate and accommodate for themselves. While this is something that I do not have a problem with, it is frustrating that I have more struggles to find my books in the right format and classes than most other students. Disability Services is a very helpful resource on campus as it tried to ensure accommodations for those with disabilities. However, it is limited in what it can do. It is limited in resources and often has to go through other university departments that can be uncooperative. While Marquette is a great academic institution, those with disabilities see their academic success put aside to deal with other obstacles. If there were more
resources on campus for those with disabilities, the focus on academics for them would be greater. Mobility is an example of how what can out academics on hold. The construction in certain areas of campus at times makes it difficult to get around, and accessible alternative routes for those with mobility needs are not always thought of. For those with disabilities, we often feel our needs are just an afterthought. While the general population of able-bodied individuals is the majority, the needs of those with disabilities are not respected or given much attention. Much of the difficulty in these situations is that there is not a campus-wide policy that holds all departments and professors accountable. I have had very positive experiences with professors accommodating me, but I have also had very negative experiences. The negative experiences are frustrating and cause a feeling of isolation and anger. I have had professors unwilling to accommodate and who have told me to drop the class if I was unhappy with the accommodations they believed they were providing. I know many others with disabilities on campus who have felt equally disrespected. Although the negative interactions are what I remember most, I have had fantastic experiences with professors who were willing to go above and beyond to make sure I succeeded alongside the other students without obstacles related to a disability. The climate for disabilities at Marquette can be improved, with changes all around to ensure those with disabilities feel more independent and comfortable. By seeking out feedback from this population of people, the administration could make the climate much better. Communication between those affected and those in charge would help address issues as well as give those with
disabilities a voice. While Disability Services does the best it can with what is at its disposal, campus-wide changes need to happen to ensure everyone is respected. As someone who has experienced both successes and failures when it comes to campus accommodations,
providing assistance to students with a disability would be beneficial for the college experience of many. Sarah Patel is a senior studying social welfare and justice, philosophy and sociology. Email Sarah with comments or suggestions at sarah.patel@mu.edu.

MU on brink of elimination

The men’s soccer team managed to net three goals against Seton Hall, but a loss against DePaul or a Butler victory will keep Maruqette out of the conference tournament.
MU must beat DePaul on Senior Night to extend season By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette solved its scoring woes against Seton Hall, but it was not enough to propel the team to victory. The Golden Eagles played the Pirates to a 3-3 draw in their highest scoring match of the season. Marquette has now gone winless in its last six matches, dropping to 7-5-4 (1-3-2 Big East). A once exciting season may end Friday with
incredible disappointment. With Butler’s 2-0 victory against Providence Sunday, the Bulldogs jumped a point ahead of Marquette on the Big East table. Marquette, now seventh in the conference, needs to win its final match against DePaul and hope for a Butler loss to make the Big East tournament. Marquette fell behind only two minutes in, as redshirt senior Victor Manosalvas’ shot redirected off the post and into the net. The Golden Eagles were not ready to step away from the challenge, scoring just two minutes later. Redshirt junior C. Nortey headed in his sixth goal of the year off of a cross from redshirt junior David Selvaggi.
The teams would not be able to keep up with the scoring pace they displayed in the first five minutes. Seton Hall took the lead back in the 25th minute, when senior Bolu Akinyode notched a second goal off the post for the Pirates. Once again, the Golden Eagles fought back with an equalizer. Redshirt sophomore defender John Pothast scored his first goal of the year in the 62nd minute off of a Louis Bennett II free kick. Three minutes later, Marquette took its first lead of the night on another Nortey header. Mateusz Brela scored the final goal in the back-and-forth match in the 75th minute, just minutes after Nortey nearly completed a hat trick with another header.
“Seton Hall’s goals were exceptional,” Bennett told GoMarquette.com. “The lead up to those goals, I think we could have done much better on and that’s the hard part. What I’m proud of is the character of this team and the way they kept their head in a pressure situation.” Fittingly, the squads had the same amount of shots in extra time, none in the first extra period and two in the second. Neither side was able to capitalize and earn three points, leaving both in desperate need to win their final match. “We looked a lot more creative in the attacking third,” said Bennett to GoMarquette.com. “We scored three goals and had
three more good opportunities, I thought, but lacked the resilience to stop the break.” With one game to play, there is one spot remaining in the Big East tournament, with Marquette, Butler, Seton Hall, and DePaul all still alive. St. John’s is the only school that is already eliminated. The Golden Eagles will honor their seniors Friday in the highly anticipated final regular season match of the season. Marquette and DePaul will kick things off at 7 p.m from Valley Fields in a match that has huge stakes for both squads. While that match is going on, Butler will try to eliminate the Golden Eagles with a victory or draw against Xavier in Cincinnati.
Women’s soccer battles Friars in Big East quarters Golden Eagles host Providence for second match in two weeks By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team hosts Providence Tuesday in a Big East Quarterfinal matchup, which marks the seventh consecutive season the Golden Eagles are hosting a Big East tournament game. Marquette played Providence just 10 days ago at Providence. The Golden Eagles scored four goals in a 23-minute span to notch a 4-0 victory against the
Friars for the team’s only road win of the Big East season. Coach Markus Roeders said playing the Friars recently is beneficial, but doesn’t change too much about game preparation. “You know the routine, how to get prepared, how to get ready,” Roeders said. “Only the best teams are left.” In the teams’ first meeting, Marquette was able to keep Catherine Zimmerman off the stat sheet. Zimmerman is tied for fourth in points (27) and points per game (1.5) in the Big East, and second in goals (11) and goals per game (0.61). The Friars’ next leading scorer has just seven points on the season. Despite Zimmerman’s gaudy
numbers, Roeders knows the team cannot focus solely on Providence’s leading scorer. “I don’t know if a player like (Zimmerman), you’re going to be able to shut down,” Roeders said. “We know we have to keep a close eye on her, but there are some other players that have some offensive abilities, and as a whole … they’re not a one-player team.” The Golden Eagle defense disrupted the Friars in the first match by not allowing Providence to set up in the offensive zone, paired with the prolific first half. Marquette keepers, junior Amanda Engel and senior Sofie Schunk, had to make seven saves in the last meeting and will expect to see those
numbers again. The defense will need to be as sharp as it was on Oct. 25 in order to earn another convincing victory. The four goals Marquette scored against the Friars were tied for the most on the season for the Golden Eagles. Senior Alex Heffron netted two goals and sophomores Darian Powell and Ashley Handwork scored one each, showing that the Golden Eagles can get scoring from a multitude of players. Four Golden Eagles have double-digit points, and five have three or more goals on the season. Another strong offensive showing will help Marquette establish game flow, as well as control the game like it did in the first meeting.
Roeders said Marquette plays its best soccer when everyone chips in. “We’ve struggled with some injuries and consistencies,” Roeders said. “If we can just fine tune in those areas and have everybody really come together at the same time, I think we’re a really difficult team to play against.” The winner of the Quarterfinal match will face off against Big East regular season champion DePaul. Kickoff for the Providence game is at 7 p.m. “We just have to put a real solid 90 minutes together,” Roeders said. “If we do that, we should feel really good about what we’re going to be able to do.”

Club hockey handles rival RMU Golden Eagles sweep Robert Morris in front of raucous crowd By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
With a crowd adorned in costumes and a rival on the other side of the ice, the weekend series was everything a Marquette hockey fan could ask for. A Friday night 4-3 victory for the Golden Eagles was spurred by an overall team effort. A Saturday hat trick from freshman Brian Kennedy capped the sweep of Robert MorrisPeoria with a 7-3 victory in a game that was closer than the score suggested. Friday night, the Halloween atmosphere featured a raucous crowd of students each sporting a bevy of costumes, from Disney princesses to NFL quarterbacks to a blind referee who snuck onto the ice before the game because he was “lost.” The matchup versus RMU (35-0) was a physical bout. Senior Tyler Schwichtenberg opened up the game with a goal at the 6:05 mark, and, coupled with a Kennedy goal off a rebound, gave Marquette a 2-0 lead after the first period. The second period got off to a quick start with a Ken Yamashita goal a minute into the
period. A bad clear on defense led to the first score for RMU five minutes later. The aggressiveness soon began to pick up between both teams, with numerous big hits against the boards. A late goal with four minutes left in the period closed the gap once again, with Marquette up 3-2 after two periods. Marquette quickly regained its two-goal advantage just moments into the period when sophomore John Stillman skated to the outside and scored glove side on a great shot from the wing. The period went back and forth, with two great breakaway saves made by junior goaltender Thomas Place. RMU was able to score its third goal late, but could not find the equalizer and Marquette held on 4-3. Coach Will Jurgensen was ecstatic about the environment created by the fans and how his team was able to squeak out the win. “The Friday night atmosphere was unbelievable,” Jurgensen said. “Like I told these guys before the game, that’s why we play. Especially in college, these guys put so much time and effort into it, to have the students be able to come out and support them like that, it’s awesome.” Saturday’s game opened with a quick goal by RMU in the opening minute of the game. Marquette later responded with a short-handed drive and
goal by Kennedy on a great pass from Schwichtenberg. A goal from Yamashita two minutes later, right after a power play gave the Golden Eagles an early 2-1 lead. But RMU scored as the buzzer sounded to even the game at 2-2 after the first period. The second period was fastpaced throughout until RMU gained its first lead of the series on a power play. But after falling behind at the end of the second period, Jurgensen credited an inspirational speech made by team captain Matt Vuoncino that really turned the tide. “During the 2nd intermission on Saturday I could tell the squad was drifting a bit and I knew coming out flat in the third down 3-2 would have a been mess,” Vuoncino said. “I got up in the team’s face a bit, challenged them and they responded. That’s the type of guys we have in that locker room, a group that’s willing to battle and when they’re fired up and playing our game, we’ll pop in 5 goals in a period.” As Vuoncino mentioned, the third period became a blowout quickly for the Golden Eagles. Two quick goals from Kennedy and Stillman, along with a Schwichtenberg goal gave Marquette its seventh-straight win against RMU-Peoria over the past three seasons. However, the victory was slightly marred by a massive
fight between a number of players on each team, leading to automatic ejections on both teams. Jurgensen was disappointed with the fight and explained to his team that the victory mattered more than anything else. “I just told them it hurts more on the scoreboard than anything else because they have to drive home and that 7-3 victory is going to hurt more than anything else that they could have said,” Jurgensen said. “When you say stuff, they forget it easy, but they don’t forget the score: the score is permanent. Coming off the momentous weekend, Vuoncino believes that the team is clicking at the right time with the MidAmerican Collegiate Hockey Association rankings coming out this Friday. “We’re hitting the crossroad right now,” Vuoncino said. “We have a few good wins, and a couple not-too-great losses, but we’ve put ourselves in a position where we can really make some waves. Every game coming up now is huge, and I think our group is really starting to hit our stride and that’s key.” Marquette continues its home stand against Robert Morris Eagles-White (5-5-0) this weekend. Marquette will look to avenge getting swept last season at the hands of the Eagles. The game will start at 7:10 p.m. Friday night at the Ponds of Brookfield.
Golden Eagles dominate Butler, Xavier Gosh and Bailey earn spots on the week’s Big East honor roll By Hank Greening
hank.greening@marquette.edu
The Golden Eagles (19-6, 103) swept both the Butler Bulldogs and Xavier Musketeers during the weekend and are now tied for second place with Seton Hall, as Creighton remains atop the conference standings. Senior Lindsey Gosh and sophomore Autumn Bailey were acknowledged for their contributions to Marquette over the weekend by being named to the Big East weekly Honor Roll
for women’s volleyball. Gosh averaged 3.17 kills per set and had a hitting percentage of .415 over the two games and Bailey had 4.33 kills per set while also accounting for 3.67 digs per game and blocking four shots in each match. In Friday’s match against Butler, the Golden Eagles wore their opponent down, sweeping the series, 25-14, 25-19, 25-21. Marquette never dominated any set start to finish, but found ways to establish leads through hot streaks. In all three sets, the Golden Eagles had at least one run of four or more consecutive points that gave them a decisive lead or ended the game. After the match, coach Ryan Theis was happy with his team’s ability to close the contest
out in three sets. “I thought we strung three pretty good games together,” Theis said. “It was good to play three straight.” Gosh led the team with 13 kills, and hit .462 for the the match, while Bailey had 11 kills, including two aces and 13 digs. Butler came in as one of the best defensive teams in the conference, but the Golden Eagles were able to both out-block and out-dig the Bulldogs in the victory. Saturday’s match was more of the same for Marquette, breezing to a 25-17, 25-22, 25-18 win. The Golden Eagles never trailed and established that they were the better team right away. Bailey and sophomore Nele Barber led the way
for Marquette offensively, as Bailey hammered home 15 kills and added nine digs with Barber scoring 13 kills of her own, hitting .440 and contributing 13 digs. After the match, Theis had nothing but praise for the two sophomores. “We call them the internationals,” Theis joked, referencing the Canandian-born Bailey and German-born Barber. “Typically, successful teams are going to have two good left-side hitters and we’re fortunate to have both of them.” Marquette will next take on crosstown rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Klotsche Center, which is just one of the Golden Eagles’ three games this week.
Roeders’ success goes unnoticed
Jacob Born Dating back to March, coaching positions have been a hot commodity at Marquette. Two major sports (men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball) saw a coaching change in the past year. Men’s basketball coach Steve Wojciechowski has become a favorite at Marquette after creating a top-5 recruiting class for 2015, and women’s coach Carolyn Kieger has created a program that some believe will make noise in the Big East this season. But at Marquette, there is one coach who not many people talk about, but deserves all the credit in the world: women’s soccer coach Markus Roeders. Tuesday night, Roeders will coach the women’s soccer team in the Big East Quarterfinals at Valley Fields. The last time Marquette did not host at least one part of the Big East tournament was in 2007. For the past seven seasons, the Golden Eagles have finished no worse than 4th in the Big East. Roeders’ squad looked like it might snap the streak early in the season. The Golden Eagles were 2-5-1 at one point, suffering defensive breakdowns and dealing with an inability to score. Then Roeders worked his magic, and Marquette handed then-No. 16 Kansas its first loss of the season. The win kickstarted a six-game unbeaten streak, which propelled the Golden Eagles back to the top of the Big East. Marquette finished the regular season 9-8-2, just barely above .500. Still, it keeps an extremely impressive streak going for Roeders. Since Roeders started coaching Marquette women’s soccer in 1996, he has never had a losing season. Ever. Roeders has a 272-95-37 career record. His teams never had more than eight losses in a season. He’s won seven conference championships, earned 10 NCAA tournament appearances, five coach of the year awards and was named the Conference USA Coach of the Decade in 2004. Even with Roeders’ many accolades, perhaps the biggest reason why he is forgotten in the coaching discussion at Marquette is because of his failure to win national championships. Roeders has not gotten outside of the third round of the NCAA tournament. His past two seasons were regarded as the best chances for him to do so, but he fell short of the Sweet Sixteen both times. Marquette fans are excited for what Kieger and Wojciechowski will bring to the floor come winter. But students should not be so quick to gloss over Roeders, because he is the definition of excellence at Marquette. Jacob Born is from Saint Louis, MO studying journalism with a minor in marketing.
