Mary Burke carries MU votes MU campus voting wards solidly supports Democrat candidates By Rob Gebelhoff

Election Results for Marquette’s Voting Wards
Students at Marquette were designated to vote in six different wards on campus, although residents living in the area also had the opportunity to vote at these polling locations. The final results for these wards are as follows:
Final vote counts from Tuesday’s midterm elections show the six voting wards serving the Marquette campus were solidly held by Democrat Mary Burke, although campus was considerably less blue than the rest of Milwaukee. Burke received support from 58 percent of voters from the polling locations on campus, with Gov. Scott Walker (R) receiving 42 percent. The voting wards, including those in the Alumni Memorial Union and the Milwaukee Public Library, serve both students and non-Marquette residents. In total, about 2,200 voters cast a ballot at these campus locations. Although Walker beat Burke to retain the governor’s mansion with 52 percent of the vote, Burke swept the polls in Democratic strongholds such as Milwaukee and Dane counties. About 76 percent of voters turned out for Burke in the City of Milwaukee, compared to just 23 percent for Walker. Similar results emerged on campus for the attorney general race between Democrat Susan Happ and Republican Brad Schimel. Even though Schimel carried the state with 51 percent of the vote, Happ received votes from 74 percent of Milwaukeeans. Again, Marquette fell between those results, with 65 percent of votes going to Happ. Burke thanked her supporters Tuesday night while conceding in Madison, and joked about her relationship with Walker. “We may not agree on much — OK, maybe not much at all,” she said. Walker, in his victory speech in West Allis, focused on themes of individualism and criticized the culture of Washington, D.C. “In America, we take a day off to celebrate the Fourth of July and not the 15th of April,” Walker said, concluding his remarks. As expected in terms of Wisconsin congressional delegations, no incumbents lost their seats. The only new face in the Wisconsin delegation will be Glenn Grothman, a
Republican state senator who beat out Democrat Mark Harris. Grothman will fill the seat retired by Rep. Tom Petri, who dominated
the heavily conservative sixth congressional district since 1979. Milwaukee’s Rep. Gwen Moore handedly defeated Republican Dan
Sebring, grabbing 75 percent of the city vote. At campus locations, Moore votes outnumbered votes for Sebring 2-to-1.

The Milwaukee Police Department and Department of Public Safety arrested four suspects believed to be associated with multiple robberies in the neighborhood surrounding Marquette Tuesday evening, according to an email from DPS on Wednesday. DPS trailed two cars going the wrong way on the 800 block of N. 17th St. After contacting MPD, the four suspects were apprehended by MPD and DPS upon exiting the vehicles. MPD will investigate the incident. “The safety of our students is, and will continue to be, of paramount importance,” DPS Chief Paul Mascari said in the email. “We work side-by-side with the Milwaukee Police Department and have increased our visibility and presence throughout the campus neighborhood since the school year began.” There have been four off-campus robberies in the past week for a combined estimated loss of $746, according to DPS. One of the reports did not list an estimated loss. “For their own safety, we can’t emphasize enough how important it is for students to give up their property if approached by suspects,” Mascari said. “This is a good example of how our partnership is keeping our campus as safe as possible,” Mascari said in the email. Marquette also partnered with the ride-sharing app Uber over the Halloween weekend to keep students safe. The email said Uber made 1,000 trips over the weekend while over 8,000 transports were made through Student Safety Programs. In addition, the university is also testing the phone app called BlueLight, which “connects immediately to DPS in case of emergency” and includes a “walk safe” feature that “allows students to share their traveling location with a close contact,” according to the email. “We know there is always more work to be done, and we remain vigilant in our protection of the campus community,” Mascari said.

Gesu pastor creates new look for church Potted plants, Papal flag among additions to Gesu’s exterior By Teran Powell
teran.powell@marquette.edu
The Church of the Gesu’s pastor, the Rev. John Schlegel, is working to improve the church’s exterior image. Schlegel flew Papal and American flags above Gesu’s front doors Oct. 17 in addition to placing potted plants on the front side, 1145 W. Wisconsin Avenue. These projects were the first of many Gesu efforts to “be more active in the broader Marquette and Milwaukee community,” Schlegel said. St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York was Schlegel’s inspiration for the flags. He also picked the flags to distinguish Gesu as a different entity from Marquette, as a way of saying the church is proudly Catholic in an American democracy and that he likes and supports Pope Francis. The two new flags are gaining positive attention. “My parishioners love them,” Schlegel said. “This is a way of branding ourselves.” Distinguishing Gesu from Marquette shows non-universiPhoto by Yue Yin/yue.yin@marquette.edu ty-affiliated individuals that the church is its own space.

Students react to ‘mu_snaps’ Snapchat ‘Our Story’ features drugs, nudity, other explicit images By Andrew Dawson
andrew.dawson@marquette.edu
Walking around campus, there is a chance you will see someone taking a selfie or short video, and they may be using the phone application Snapchat. That application has been taken to a new level as students at Marquette are able to submit disappearing photos and video anonymously on an account dedicated for Marquette’s campus, called “mu_snaps.” Initially, individuals could only send photos to requested friends on the Snapchat app, but a new feature launched over the summer called “Our Story” allows groups to post pictures and videos to a place where all of the snapper’s friends can see it. The intended purpose for Stories was for use at events like concerts, so attendees could post media to their Stories and share the experience of the event. It was tested at music festivals like Lollapalooza over the summer, and then the feature was expanded to all Snapchat users. With the addition of the “Our Story” feature, groups can share stories through pictures and short videos. Snapchat is testing a college version of “Our Story” known as “Campus Story” at four universities: University of Southern California, Pennsylvania State, University of Texas at Austin and the University of California, Los Angeles. Other colleges, including Marquette and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have created their own college Stories using the “Our Story” feature. It is unclear who created mu_snaps, but it spread rapidly across campus. It has everything from shenanigans in the library to artistic shots of fall leaves on campus, but there is also a darker side containing images of drugs and nudity. Student users found pros and

cons to the university’s Story. “Mu_snaps gives Marquette students a greater sense of what’s going on around campus,” said Jon Hyink, a junior in the College of Health Sciences. “Granted, most of the stuff is just ridiculous college shenanigans, but isn’t that what we all love?” “I think Snapchat is an amusing platform to shamelessly share selfies, however, a lot of people go overboard with it,” said Margaret Moran, a junior in the College of Nursing. “In terms of mu_snaps, I see more negatives. There doesn’t seem to be a filter. Someone can be exploited for 24 hours and have no idea. Even if you are aware of the snap, you can’t do anything to remove the content.” The university, particularly the Department of Public Safety, is aware of the Story and
took action against some of the explicit images that appeared on mu_snaps. “We are aware of the concerns about some of the content associated with mu_snaps,” said Paul Mascari, director and chief of DPS, in an email. “Although we do not monitor the content, criminal activity that comes to our attention will be directed to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation.” Mascari wants students to realize that the images and videos shared on Snapchat may not be as temporary as they would hope. “As with any social network, personal responsibility is key,” he said in an email. “People need to remember that their actions and content posted to any social network can remain forever on the Internet.”

UPROOTED Theatre, MU theater combine talent in new fall show By Hannah Byron
hannah.byron@marquette.edu
When UPROOTED Theatre Artistic Director Marti Gobel first pitched “In the Red and Brown Water,” she described it as “‘Our Town’—in the hood.” Coincidentally, “Our Town” was the play Marquette’s theater program chose for its 2014-2015 season premiere. The story follows the struggles of Oya, a young woman who aspires to escape life in the projects and become a track star. She receives such an opportunity when offered a college scholarship, but is forced to stay in the projects to care for her ailing mother. The play also uses Yoruban spiritual culture and Greek chorus style narration to explore Oya’s struggles of growing up in the “hood” and her transition into womanhood. Gobel was approached by Stephen Hudson Mairet, an associate professor and chair of digital media and performing arts and artistic associate professor of digital media and performing arts Debra Krajec for a possible collaboration between UPROOTED and Marquette. The increase in theater students of

color led to the collaboration with UPROOTED, the largest African American theatre in Wisconsin. Gobel said this year the program enrolled the largest amount of theatre students of color and they felt it was their responsibility to make sure that they had professional ties to the community.

The
local professional actors Ericka Wade and Ken Williams joined in the production as well. The cast is predominantly African American, allowing for more opportunities and roles for students. That is why Alessandria Rhines, cast as Oya, said she finds the production unique. “It is not everyday that you will be able to see so much diverse talent on one stage,” Rhines said. “It is refreshing and a blessing to have students, professors and professionals who care enough about an idea to make it a reality.” Starring as the male lead, Terry Lee Watkins Jr. felt the play finally tells a different story. According to Watkins, most plays call for white leads and characters of color either are in the background or do not exist at all. “It’s nice to be the one who the story is all about,” Watkins said. Junior Michael Cienfuegos-Baca plays one of the fifteen members of the ensemble, which he said is an active part of the play and represents gods and goddesses within the Yoruba spiritual tradition. CienfuegosBaca said working with UPROOTED Theatre has been a rewarding experience and gave him an idea

of what performing will be like after college. “Seeing how professionals work in rehearsals and with a director is such a great experience,” Cienfuegos-Baca said. “It shows us how professional we need to be and how prepared we need to be working with a company of professionals. When we see these actors completely memorized on the third day of rehearsals we realize how hard we are going to have to work in the real world.” Students enjoyed Gobel’s presence as the artistic director. Watkins, Rhines and Cienfuegos-Baca agreed they learned a lot about what it takes to be an actor in the professional world from Gobel. Yet, she served as more than just a director. “As an African American actor, she means a lot to me,” Watkins said. “You don’t get the opportunity, not very much at this school, or in the city for that matter, to work with people that look like you and understand the same things you go through and have the same cultural background and information.” Gobel reciprocates their feelings. At first she said it was a challenge to direct such a large cast, but in the end she found it fulfilling.
Spacious Bedrooms with Individual Study Area
“I find that the production cast and crew is amazing and wonderful,” Gobel said. “I just had a great time learning all the people who worked there, and seeing the emerging talent that is going to come out into the world.” According to Gobel, the production of “In the Red and Brown Water” is unlike anything that has been performed in the Helfaer Theatre or in the city itself. With its enticing visuals, rhythmic music and mature acting, Gobel said this is a play that everyone can enjoy. CienfuegosBaca and other members of the cast agree. “This show brings a whole new cast of people together,” Cienfuegos-Baca said. “There are new faces in the limelight and a lot of freshmen are seeing the main stage for the first time. The show itself is different because it involves a whole new culture to the students of Marquette, including those within the theatre department.” “In the Red and Brown Water” runs Nov. 6-16 at the Helfaer Theatre. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling (414) 288-7504. Students get discounts on their tickets, and can also purchase season passes.

New “Motions” continues Harris’ classic EDM style Harris’ collaborations, energetic sounds drive new, yet classic album By Eva Schons Rodrigues Special to the Tribune Scottish DJ Calvin Harris released his newest album, “Motion” this past Tuesday, which includes hit singles “Blame” and “Summer.” Harris’ work can be compared to DJ David Guetta and
is often considered the new, fresh face of electronic dance music. In the past, Harris, who also owns Fly Eye Records, has continuously scored hit songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list and iTunes’ Top 10 since his debut album was released in 2007. Harris, however, shows no signs of slowing down. In “Motion,” Calvin introduces many tracks that showcase his abilities as a both a DJ and a producer. However, Harris seems to rely too much on the style that brought him fame because his new album clearly shows signs

of avoiding any risks that could come with a new sound. Apart from resembling several of his past hits, numerous tracks share many similarities. This style could show through as an attempt to create songs that flow well together, but the final product was rather repetitive. This is not to say that Calvin Harris’ album is a disappointment; far from it. The album, as most of his work, is extremely energetic and even catchy. As a whole, “Motion,” has the potential to please a variety of musical tastes, with several interesting partnerships and edgy tracks, such as “It Was You.” As a Harris fan, it is safe to say the album captures his essence as an artist. “Under Control” has the spirit of a classic Calvin Harris song, such as “Feel So Close” (2011). Although it does resemble the album’s first single, “Summer,” the track has lyrics you will be humming for the next week and is likely to be the album’s next big hit. Harris’ “Motion” shines in the light of the stars he invited to feature on the album. Possibly one of the most intriguing collaborations in this album is with Big Sean in “Open Wide.” This song is packed with racy lyrics and Harris does
6 Songs to Never Forget By Benjamin Fate
benjamin.fate@marquette.edu
Every self-respecting millennial has a handful of songs that seem to sneak onto every feel-good, pump-up, throwback Thursday playlist we make. These songs carried some of us through high school, and others—ahem, freshmen—through our awkward junior high days. Whatever your music taste, these tracks evoke your guiltiest pleasures and have you, at the very least, mouthing along— that is, when you’re not belting for your very life. Although this list is certainly not definitive, it is likely you’ll find one song that’s your cue to drop everything and sing, dance and reminisce until the very last measure. “Take a Bow” – Rihanna, released April 2008
“Best I Ever Had” – Drake, released February 2009
Rihanna brought some island flare with her 2005 single “Pon de Replay,” but her most epic and belt-worthy single came from her third album, “Good Girl Gone Bad.” The theatrics of the song can have even the most stoic listener shaking his head at Rihanna’s imaginary cheating man. Let’s hear your speech!
Somewhere in between Degrassi-Drake and rap-superstar-Drake, the Canadian dropped his first EP and with it, the first single: “Best I Ever Had.” The track was named Billboard’s Hot Rap Song of 2009, and with good reason. While slow and plodding, the too-cool-for-school song manages to make the listener fall in love with both Drake and the object of his affection. You da best.

not fail to keep up the energy. The artists’ two distinct styles mix successfully and the song is one of the most notable tracks of “Motion.” Other featured artists include Gwen Stefani, Ellie Goulding and Haim. Calvin Harris has yet again produced an album that does not disappoint and it has the potential to bring the DJ even more success.
The closest that Milwaukee will get to seeing Calvin Harris perform his new jams would be at the Allstate Arena in Chicago on Dec. 18, for the KISS FM Jingle Ball. Regardless, “Motion” proved that Harris is not living up to his own creative potential, which might be his downfall, especially if he plans to remain relevant to the EDM movement.

The dark and brooding nature of the song, when paired with the venomous way West performs it, gets a whole new life every time it comes on the radio. Who doesn’t love a good rap about a scorned Kanye West?
“Paper Planes” – MIA, released February 2008 The tongue-in-cheek anthem about drug peddling and gunslinging was the first, and for many, the last we heard of British rapper MIA. The track made a big appearance in the mega-hit movie “Slumdog Millionaire,” but it also served as an outlet for people who didn’t exactly know how to approach female rappers. Don’t deny it: you and your friends were sure that “no one on the corner has swagger like us.”

My Story FRIENDS
Grandma Teacher Future In-Laws Ex-Boyfriend Parents Boss Principle Worst Enemy Illustration by Eleni Eisenhart/eleni.eisenhart@marquette.edu
Our view: Students must take caution when sending sensitive information and images to anonymous Snapchat users, such as the popular “mu_snaps” account. In the current obsession with easy and fast technology, the Snapchat app fits the bill. Anyone can take an embarrassing picture or a quick video, write a caption and send the snap off to friends who can view it for a few seconds. It is there to entertain and then it is gone. Except sometimes the picture does not just go away. This is a problem the account “mu_snaps” poses to students on campus. Students can send their snaps to an anonymous account to be included in its story and then shared with anyone who has added mu_snaps. Only the account owner knows who is looking at the photos and is therefore in control of the image, or so it would seem. However, most people are able to take screenshots on their phones, thus saving the photo for later viewings or other uses. While this may seem like a good way to check out that funny photo later, it can be dangerous depending on the content of the photo. Images depicting illegal, unsafe or lewd behavior could be seen by unsavory third parties without the original sender’s knowledge. Students should be aware of the dangers and problems that arise from sharing information with an unknown group of people. These photos may end up having a longer life and impact than the originally intended five seconds. For students in the residence halls, photos that show location could attract hall directors or resident assistants’ attention and result in a write-up. Photos of an underage student in a bar could get to the Department of Public Safety, the Milwaukee Police Department or
worse, their parents. As there is no way of finding out all the people who can see the pictures through mu_snaps, they may as well be public. We need to be thoughtful and cautious about how we represent ourselves and our friends as these things could even come back in the distant future. The recent hacking of Snapchat photos shows snaps disappear on your phone but are ultimately kept in a database by the company. If photos from mu_snaps were leaked to a wider audience, it could affect job opportunities or prospective dates. Our information is not always safe and our reputation and public image could be damaged by a single slip. It is not just the individual’s reputation at stake with the use of mu_snaps, but also the university’s. While the account is in no way condoned, the university can still be connected and can be assigned blame if a serious incident takes place in an image or as the result of one. Technology is constantly changing and offering people ways to communicate. Snapchat is currently in early stages of a “College Story” feature, where all of Marquette campus’ photos could be viewed in one place. This would take out the middle man and result in less control. It seems like only more trouble could come from this. Mu_snaps may be a fun way to show people on campus an interesting shot of University President Michael Lovell or the Marquette turkey, but caution should be used when displaying yourself or your friends to an unknown base. With the risks in mind, students need to be careful about what and with whom they share if they want to accurately represent themselves and the university.
Matt Gozun The Republican party won big Tuesday night, obtaining a majority in the Senate and a near-historic number of representatives in the House. With the dust settled and YouTube finally free of political attack ads, both the victors and losers must face the inevitable ‘now what?’ With Democratic President Barack Obama still in the White House and Republican senators well below the twothirds needed to overturn his vetoes, neither side has the power to push through legislation. Republicans thus need to decide whether they want to work with the president or deliberately send him bills they know he will not sign. New Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell indicated he would like to use the first approach, but others in his party have not been so conciliatory. Texas senator Ted Cruz suggested Republicans attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act--a hopeless endeavor, though a popular one among the party’s conservative base. Cruz and other ‘insurgent’ Republicans know attempting to fight Obama will not get anything passed, but hope their efforts will bloom later on. With the president’s approval rating below 50 percent, they believe drawing a line between Obama and themselves will convince voters to go all-in with the GOP in 2016. Victories in 2014 are only a harbinger of this future rebuke of the president’s party. However, there are numerous problems with that narrative. The fact the GOP retook the Senate may have been a necessary headline, but it was hardly news. With the exception of Iowa and Colorado, the states Republicans snatched from Democrats were all relatively conservative states that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012. Even
without these two swing state victories, Republicans still would have captured the Senate. This Republican wave appears a product of history and geography as much as a refutation of Obama. While appealing to the Republican base may have helped the party win in 2014, they won in states that they will very likely win in 2016. At the same time, Republicans already in Congress have an approval rating even worse than the president’s, with respondents noting partisan gridlock and Congress’s inability to act on anything as their chief grievance. Republicans would be foolish to waste their newfound power on doing what makes them unpopular with constituents. Republicans should also not underestimate the advantages they had entering the midterm election. Midterms usually favor Republicans since many Democrats tend to stay home when the presidency is not on the line. Come 2016, Democrats can expect to fight on more even ground. Perhaps most pressing for Republicans in 2016 will be the impact of the millennial vote, which made up less of the electorate than it did two years ago. Voters under 30 made up 13 percent of the electorate this year, 6 points lower than in 2012. Those that did vote favored Democrats 55-42, showing Republicans still have work to do when it comes to the youth vote. Unless they can win over this increasingly important bloc, Republicans should not see this year’s victory as a guarantee of winning in 2016. With their new majority, Congressional Republicans have an opportunity to address the issues and concerns of the electorate who voted them in. With jobs and the economy still on the minds of most Americans, they should work to find solution to these problems, even if it means having to work with the president. Republicans will need to show America they are more than just the antithesis of Obama if they wish to keep their victory.

Television can teach valuable lessons in classrooms
Jasmine Gonzalez During a political science class I took a few semesters ago, my professor regularly tried to draw analogies between the subject matter and scenes from HBO’s “The Wire.” Upon receiving silence and blank stares every time, she would ask incredulously, “Doesn’t anyone watch ‘The Wire’ anymore?” After watching “The Wire” on my own, many months after the class ended, I began to understand the connections my professor hoped to make during lectures. Many of the concepts we had covered were easier to comprehend when I could couple them with faces and narratives. Without a doubt, the incorporation of the show directly into the coursework–or even a class based on the show itself–would have enhanced my overall experience. Certain television shows can help contextualize themes learned in the classroom. An instructor can point to a fictional situation depicted in an episode, allowing students to see a more familiar perspective of how a issues such as drug addiction and political corruption can look in real life. Called one of the greatest shows of all time by critics around the world, “The Wire”’s popularity has only increased since its series finale in 2008. The show, which ran for five seasons, portrays overlapping narratives based in Baltimore, spanning the relationships between drug trafficking, labor unions, city politics,
inner-city schools and print news media. Renowned for its realistic portrayals of urban issues, it took a particular hold in the academic sphere, with courses based on the show offered in universities across the nation, including Harvard University, the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Including television and film as part of a class curriculum is by no means unheard of at Marquette. The English department offers several classes each semester focused on visual media, such as Film Studies and certain sections of Literature, History and Culture as well as Literature and Genre.

MU advances to New York

Women’s soccer beats Providence. faces DePaul in semifinals By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s soccer team defeated Providence 2-0 at home in the Big East Quarterfinals, punching its ticket to New York to take on the top-ranked DePaul Blue Demons. The Golden Eagles controlled possession for the majority of the game and established the offense quickly. Sophomore forward Darian Powell got two quality chances within the first 15 minutes, then finally found the back of the net in the 17th minute. Marquette got a corner kick and senior midfielder Mary Luba put the ball into the box,
where senior defender Haley Fritzlen directed it to Powell. Powell buried the shot to give Marquette the 1-0 lead. Coach Markus Roeders said Powell has been a goal scorer all year for the Golden Eagles, so it is not surprising she scored again. “That’s what she’s good at,” Roeders said. “There’s a bunch of players in the league who have the knack for scoring those goals … and she’s definitely one of them.” Marquette carried the lead into the half and then built on it right after the restart whistle. The Golden Eagles had three consecutive corner kicks in the 47th minute and on the third, junior midfielder Jacie Jermier put the corner into the box, where Fritzlen headed the ball into the net for the 2-0 lead. The goal gave Marquette a huge momentum boost and carried the team through the rest
of the half. Roeders said getting the goal early in the second half helped the Golden Eagles control play for the rest of the game. “Scoring right after halftime, I think that really, overall, kind of helped us and carried us through for the rest of the match,” Roeders said. Aiding the effort was the Marquette back line, which held Friar leading scorer Catherine Zimmerman off the stat sheet for a second-straight game. The Golden Eagles disrupted her game plan, as she only had three shots all game. Two came off a free kick, one of which required a kick save from Marquette keeper Amanda Engel. Roeders said it was difficult for the team to make sure Zimmerman did not score. “She’s a handful,” Roeders said. “She’s a special player. She’s going to continue to make some noise.”
With the 2-0 victory, Marquette now faces off against DePaul, which has yet to lose this season. The Golden Eagles were very close to knocking them off in the two’s first meeting, as the Blue Demons needed extra time to win. In the previous matchup, DePaul jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but the Golden Eagles chipped away at the lead and tied the game at two in the 87th minute. Marquette had all the momentum, but a corner kick into the box in the 107th minute netted the game winner for DePaul. In order for Marquette to upset the favored DePaul, the offense and defense must be excellent. The Golden Eagles do not have trouble scoring as of late, and Powell, Luba and Co. should be enough to keep Marquette competitive. The X-factor will be the defense’s ability to contain the Blue Demon attack.
Marquette was able to keep Zimmerman from scoring, but DePaul has four players in the Big East top 10 scoring – Abby Reed, Alexa Ben, Elise Wyatt and Amber Paul. In the last meeting, at least one of them was involved in DePaul’s goals. It would be extremely difficult for the Golden Eagles to subdue all four players, but keeping one or two from scoring a point could make the difference between a win and a loss. Roeders said the team is excited to get another chance at handing DePaul its first loss of the season. “We know we’re going to have a difficult match ahead of us,” Roeders said. “But I think we’ll be ready. If we can play our best soccer now, that’s all we can ask of ourselves.” The Big East Semifinals are hosted by St. John’s in Jamaica, N.Y. Kickoff is Friday at 5 p.m.
Men’s soccer faces must-win agaisnt Blue Demons Golden Eagles need a win and Butler loss or tie for Big East berth By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette men’s soccer concludes its regular season Friday night against DePaul, facing a must-win situation. Marquette needs a win and some help to make it into the Big East tournament, and possibly to keep its NCAA hopes alive. DePaul has already been eliminated from conference tournament contention, but
will try to play spoiler in the Blue Demons’ season finale. The Blue Demons, 4-9-4 (15-2), are riding an eight-game winless streak. Their only victory in Big East play was back in September, when they defeated Seton Hall. The Marquette defense will not have to worry about facing a potent offense this week. DePaul has scored only three goals during the winless streak. They were held scoreless in the first five matches of the streak. It will be a reunion for redshirt junior David Selvaggi, who played his first two college seasons at DePaul. Selvaggi’s 11-point season is tied with sophomore Louis Bennett II for
second on the team. The Golden Eagles are riding a winless streak of their own, which is now at six matches. The team tied its last match 3-3 with Seton Hall, the first time the Golden Eagles scored more than one goal during the skid. The Golden Eagles started on a tear in non-conference play, rattling off a six-match winning streak. Despite the less-than-ideal situation, Marquette knows its dreams for this season have not been squashed just yet. The first five schools – Creighton, Providence, Xavier, Georgetown and Villanova – have all clinched spots in the Big East tournament. However,
the seeding can still change based on the final week’s results. There are three schools, including Marquette, vying for the final spot in the tournament. The scenarios most directly tied to the Golden Eagles are their own game and Butler’s match against Xavier. If Marquette wins and Butler loses or ties, the Golden Eagles clinch the sixth spot in the rankings. If Butler wins, the result of Marquette’s match does not matter. If Marquette loses or ties, the Golden Eagles will be eliminated. If Butler does not win, it still has a shot at making the tournament. The Bulldogs need Marquette to lose or tie and Seton
Hall to lose against St. John’s. If Seton Hall wins and Butler and Marquette loses, the Pirates will claim the sixth spot. This is the second straight year Marquette closes out its regular season against DePaul. Last year, the Blue Devils defeated the Golden Eagles 2-1 in Chicago. Action kicks off at Valley Fields at 7 p.m. The Golden Eagles will be honoring their seniors as usual in likely their final match at Valley Fields. This year’s class includes midfielder Sebastian Jansson, goalkeeper Charlie Lyon, midfielder Luis Trude and midfielder Brady Wahl.

Yamashita plays hockey for the love of the game
Graduate student never thought he’d be playing college hockey By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
Graduate student Ken Yamashita took an unlikely path to the Marquette club hockey team. Two extended breaks from the ice and moving halfway across the country proved challenging. But, because of a couple friends and a suggestion from a boss, at 27, he is playing the sport he loves in his first and final season with the Golden Eagles. Ken Yamashita was born and raised in the small beach community of Hermosa Beach, just south of Los Angeles. He explained that his family never played hockey, but he discovered it from an older friend when he was in kindergarten. “I had a friend who was a few
years older; he was in fifth grade and he was a goalie at the local ice hockey club,” Yamashita said. “I wanted to be like him and I just started playing. It started with street hockey and soon I started skating.” Recognizing his talent level, Yamashita’s parents gave their blessings and he began playing ice hockey. But after working his way through youth and high school hockey, he dropped the sport to spend more time in his pursuit of a law degree at California-San Diego. “When I decided to go to college, I kind of decided to step away from the game, actually, and not pursue juniors or an NCAA scholarship anymore,” Yamashita said. “Hockey was kind of an afterthought.” Eventually, the sport he enjoyed playing came back into the fold. An old hockey teammate from his high school playing days went to school at UCSD and invited Yamashita to try out
his senior year of college. He later made the team and, in thirteen games with the Division II squad, he recorded 13 points, including seven goals. After graduating from UCSD in 2010, Yamashita took a job with Forensic Technology International Consulting. He worked as a legal consultant with the company for three years, but soon realized he could not move higher in the company without a law degree. With his boss’ support, he began to look at graduate schools across the country, even though it was not initially on his mind. “I actually had no plans of coming to graduate school,” Yamashita said. “After college, I was tired of (it). I didn’t want to study anymore.” Marquette, Hofstra and a couple of schools in Brooklyn were his top choices because he wanted to work in a bigger media market and attend a school with a high quality sports law program.
Marquette’s Sports Law Program is more respected than others because it has a multitude of sports law classes and seminars. Add the quality of the new law school itself and it was an easy choice for Yamashita. After being out of hockey for three years, the sport soon returned. Yamashita began to miss playing so his parents sent over the gear (some of which he realized was broken). He soon began playing drop-in hockey in Delafield and eventually joined a men’s league after an invite from another player. “It got a little more competitive and I began to miss the competition,” Yamashita said. “I played hockey at UC San Diego and I figured, ‘Hey, Marquette’s a cold area. They should have a team over here.’” Later “Googling” the team, he eventually tried out and became a Golden Eagle. A month shy of 28, Yamashita said despite being older than the
players and his head coach, the relationships are just as if he were his teammates’ age. “With the guys, they treat me just the same as any other guy on the team,” Yamashita said. “I may crash out a little bit earlier because I can’t keep up with them that long, but I don’t think it’s as awkward as most people would think.” Yamashita is conscious that every week is a game closer to the end. With that in mind, he hopes the team can make it as far as possible in his final season of competitive hockey. “I guess it’s bittersweet,” Yamashita said. “I love competing and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys to play with, but knowing it’s my first and last year with this team, and last year playing competitively, is a bummer. I just hope I can end my time playing on a high note with an MACHA championship or National’s berth.”
Relocation hurts Volleyball sweeps Panthers more than it helps Golden Eagles extend Jacob Born The St. Louis Rams have not been the best of NFL teams in the last decade or so. The team has not had a winning season since 2003, and were only close to making the playoffs in 2007, when the team was 7-9. During this time, talks of relocating the team have been rampant. Wednesday, the Rams gave St. Louis a Jan. 28 deadline to have a new stadium plan in place, or the team would be leaving. While the concept of a Rams “fan” can be debated, I still like to root for the team and see them win. And I would be very disappointed if the team left the city, even if I don’t live there. Even with the team not being competitive, people still turn out to see the Rams play at the subpar Edward Jones Dome. Memories of the Greatest Show on Turf are engrained into St. Louis culture. And seeing a team leave would be terrible, not just for fans but for the city as a whole. When teams actually leave, it can be devastating. Perfect examples are Atlanta, when the Thrashers moved to Winnipeg, or Seattle when the Supersonics headed to Oklahoma City. Thrasher fans, while not particularly numerous, felt scorned by the NHL after losing a second team. As for Supersonic fans, there are websites like sonicsarena.com, which call for an NBA team to come back to Seattle. Sonics Arena’s Facebook page has 71,000+ likes and wants to have its franchise back. Despite wanting a team, cities like Seattle do not want to have a relocated team because they want to create their own history rather than inherit another team’s. They want an expansion team to call their own and start from the ground up. Having a team relocate and then that same city getting another team can create problems. The Cleveland Browns are not the same Browns that won eight league championships. The Ottawa Senators are not the Senators that won 11 Stanley Cups from 1903-1927. The current Winnipeg Jets are not the same
Jets who had hockey legend Teemu Selanne. And if the Bucks were to move, and then get another NBA team, it wouldn’t be the same team that won the 1971 NBA championship. It’s better to keep a team rather than lose on and get another with the same name. Having a team and history to call your own is important. Rams fans had the old Los Angeles Rams, but were able to make their own memories with the Greatest Show on Turf. A city needs to do whatever it can to facilitate that history and keep its teams there. When a team relocates, those who were not fans are indifferent, and those who were fans are angry. Likewise, keeping a team keeps the fans happy, while the non-fans are still indifferent. By relocating a team, all you do is make your city upset. Cities like St. Louis and Milwaukee need to keep their respective teams, rather than try and cash out, because sooner or later, they will make up what they are currently losing.

winning streak to four games with victory
By Hank Greening
henry.greening@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s volleyball team is on a fourgame winning streak coming off a dismantling of cross-town rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee in three sets, 25-20, 25-12, 25-16, Tuesday night. The Golden Eagles (20-6, 103) have now won 20 regular season games in each of the last five seasons and are currently tied for second in the Big East with Seton Hall, and Creighton is sitting just 1.5 games ahead of both teams. Despite this, the Golden Eagles have an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth this weekend with two victories and a Xavier loss. In the match against UWM, Marquette hit .353 as a team and committed just four hitting errors. Sophomore Autumn Bailey led the team offensively with 12 kills, hit .426 for the match and added
12 digs. But the story of the night was sophomore Teal Schnurr. Schnurr had a career-high 10 blocks against UWM, including six in the first set. Schnurr’s night resulted in the most blocks any Golden Eagle has had since All-American Rabbecka Gonyo put up 11 blocks against UWM in 2009. Marquette held the Panthers to .155 hitting percentage for the match, including -.037 in the second set. The Golden Eagles out-blocked their opponent 16-1 and forced 23 hitting errors. As the Big East tournament approaches, Marquette will head into its easiest stretch of the year. The Golden Eagles will face two teams outside the top five in the conference in Providence (4-22, 0-12) and St. John’s (17-10, 6-6), both at home. Marquette swept both teams in the opening weekend of Big East play. Bailey led the Golden Eagles to victory in both matches, averaging 5.67 kills and 4.5 digs per set. Marquette hit .381 at Providence and .347 at St. John’s. The Golden Eagles were stifling on defense, allowing neither team to have a player in double figures for kills nor did they allow a hitting
percentage above .120. Marquette is in the top three of every major offensive category in the conference, but cannot take St. John’s lightly. The Red Storm are best in the conference when it comes to service aces and are led by juniors Deniz Mutlugil (10.86 per set), the conference leader in assists, and Karin Palgutova, the only player in the Big East other than Autumn Bailey with more than four kills per set. Providence, however, is in the bottom three of every major statistical category in the conference, despite having the league’s second-best dig player in sophomore Michelle Cruz (5.02 per set). The Golden Eagles will take on St. John’s Friday at 7 p.m. at the Al McGuire Center, followed up by a Saturday match against Providence at 5 p.m. Anyone who presents a used ticket stub from Saturday’s men’s basketball exhibition opener against Wisconsin Lutheran will receive free admission to the match against Providence. Between the second and third set of Friday’s match, there will be a burrito eating contest between all of Marquette’s fraternities.
