Marquette is expected to release a feasibility study in the coming weeks to evaluate the university’s master plan for academic and campus facilities, including its need for student housing. The master plan follows the university strategic plan and is developed to outline where Marquette’s strengths and shortcomings are as a whole. Overall, the plan guides campus expansion for the next 20 years. Marquette project architect Charles Haas said several different findings from the study will be released but that he is not allowed to reveal what those findings are at this time. After the study is released, it will be several more months before any new projects are announced. Haas said, however, that the feasibility study is being used to find the best use for the areas between 17th and 18th streets. “There are a bunch of underutilized buildings over there: the old child care center, the health care facility, the boiler plant, all those buildings,” Haas said. “We are investigating what is the best use of those buildings, which is all part of the master plan.” The university’s interest in the area is notable, as a number of business tenants on the 1700 block of W. Wells Street shared rumors that Marquette is planning to develop student apartments on the block. Haas was quick to dispel these claims. “It’s the first time I have See Plan, Page 2

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) talks with “On the Issues” host Mike Gousha Monday afternoon, breaking later to take questiosn from audience members.
Congressman critical of Obama, is hopeful on possible trade deal Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) criticized President Barack Obama’s foreign policy and immigration reform, but also discussed why he didn’t chose to run in the 2016 election in Monday while joining “On the Issues” host Mike Gousha. The session was a question and answer forum between Ryan and Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy. The floor was later opened up to questions from the audience. Gousha started the session by asking Ryan about the 2016 presidential race. “Why didn’t I run for president?” Ryan said. “It was an evolution of thinking over the last few years
between Janna (his wife) and myself, knowing what opportunities I had in front of me, the ages of our children and knowing I could make an enormous difference by being chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.” Ryan also noted the importance of spending time with his children as they mature as reason for not running for president. “They grow up once,” he said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had people who look like you guys tell me ‘I wish I spent more time with my kids.’” Ryan then discussed the state of the nation’s international affairs. He emphasized working with other Muslim nations in response to the terrorist actions of groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, better known as ISIS. “We do not have a comprehensive strategy of dealing with radical Islamic terrorists. We need a comprehensive strategy of dealing with them,” Ryan said. “It should include
working with moderate Muslim nations to work with us as partners. It also means having a comprehensive foreign strategy, which we don’t have.” In addition, Ryan referenced the state of the U.S. military and offered his opinion on Obama’s foreign policy. “It’s important for America to lead. Because if we don’t lead, other countries that do not share our values will lead,” Ryan said. While Ryan was sometimes critical of Obama’s policies, he did offer positive words for the President’s trading policies. “Trade is the one area where I think the President is finally breaking out and doing some good,” Ryan said. Other topics Ryan covered were American views of the Republican party, the country’s window of opportunities and support for shorter primaries in the Republican party. Questions from the audience ranged from Ryan’s personal
thoughts on student debt to federal subsidies. The question he spent the most time answering was about U.S. immigration policy. He took several minutes to explain the issue’s complexities. “People want a real quick answer, are you going to stop it or not? Well, it’s not that simple, I wish it were,” Ryan said. “The way to solve it is for Congress to actually do immigration reform, to pass bills and to fix this broken system.” The “On The Issues Series,” according to its website, aims at inviting news makers and policy shapers to help the Marquette community learn more about local and national topics. Upcoming speakers for the series include Paul Taylor, author of “The Next America: Boomers, Millennials and the Looming Generational Showdown,” who will speak Feb. 17. Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki is scheduled to speak the following week on Feb. 23.

Campus reacts to review of McAdams Some expect potential firing of professor to end up in court fight By Nicki Perry
nicolette.perry@marquette.edu
Marquette students and faculty shared their thoughts on University President Michael Lovell’s letter regarding the completion of political science professor John McAdams’ conduct review. Although the letter, which Marquette shared through the university Facebook page Feb. 4, does not explicitly state the conduct review results, McAdams stated in a Feb. 4 blog post that Marquette started the process to revoke his tenure and dismiss him from the faculty as a result of the review. “Professor McAdams has been advised of the action that the university intends to take as a result,” Lovell said in the letter. “Until all procedures required under university rules and policies are complete, we will not publicly disclose further details.” McAdams was relieved of his teaching duties over winter break after he publicly criticized teaching assistant Cheryl Abbate for
not allowing discussion about gay marriage in class. The university opened a review of his conduct and temporarily banned him from campus gor the duration of the review. The incident received national attention and sparked protests from the Westboro Baptist Church and student groups in December, and Abbate transferred to the University of Colorado-Boulder as a result. Theology professor Daniel Maguire openly discussed his support of academic freedom as a member of the American Association of University Professors. “It proves that Marquette is a monarchy and all this talk of being a community is farcical. Marquette is a monarchy behaving in ways that go against academic due process,” Maguire said. “Because they’re really attacking tenure. They can claim anybody’s.” Maguire went on to explain his thoughts on all of the press surrounding the situation. “The damage being done to Marquette University right now is not being done by professor John McAdams,” Maguire said in an email. In addition, psychology professor Stephen Franzoi offered his opinion on the letter,
McAdams has engaged in unethical conduct for a number of years.This is the first time the administration has taken any action against it.” Stephen Franzoi, psychology professor
explaining why he understands Lovell’s choice not to share the final decision of McAdams’ review. “I do understand that they’re not sharing the results because it is a personnel matter. I think there will be more that will come out over time,” Franzoi said. “I think this might very well go to the courts, so I think Lovell said as much as he probably could say at this point.” McAdams’ blog, “The Marquette Warrior,” is the platform he used to express his thoughts on the incident. It is not affiliated with the university. “I believe that McAdams knew what he was doing when he invited outside sources on the matter,” Franzoi said. “McAdams has engaged in unethical conduct for a number of years. This is the first time the administration has taken
any action against it.” Franzoi adds that McAdams chose to publicize what the university shared with him regarding the results of the conduct review. “I think that President Lovell eloquently handled the situation in a way that would appease both students and faculty while maintaining respect and privacy for all the parties involved,” said Emily Petersen, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences. “While it is frustrating to not know all the minute details of the case, it protects the individuals involved from further scrutiny.” University spokesman Brian Dorrington declined to comment, saying Lovell’s letter is the only response and that Marquette will not publicly disclose further details at this time until all procedures are completed.

Plan: MU quells rumors on Wells Street development heard that rumor, I know nothing about (tearing down the block) that,” Haas said. “There is not an immanent project for housing right now.” David Sobelman, who owns the Sobelman’s @ Marquette restaurant at the intersection of 16th and Wells, said he has been interested in making additions to Sobelman’s for a while. He also said he wanted to add an outside beer garden to the restaurant on the empty lot where Marquette Gyros used to stand, but has feared that his bar may be torn down in the next couple of months. Marquette leases out the properties to the businesses op-
erating on the block and has the right to development the land. As incoming freshmen commonly experience shortages of housing, Sobelman and other tenants on 1700 and Wells expressed concerns that Marquette will do just that. “I don’t want to put down $10,000 to $20,000 if they are just going to tear it down in six months or a year,” Sobelman said. “ I would love to do something with the empty lot, buts it’s a long term plan and I need to know if I can do it.” Sobelman said he was not satisfied and wants a promise from Marquette that they will not tear down his bar.

New sorority houses proposed Plan to develop for Sigma Kappa, Alpha Phi to be reviewed By Rob Gebelhoff
robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu
Two new sorority houses are proposed to be built on the 1500 block of W. Kilbourn Avenue. An affiliate for Cedar Square LLC filed a request for the
development to house the Sigma Kappa and Alpha Phi sororities, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday. The $1.4 million construction is proposed for what now is a parking lot. Milwaukee’s Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a public hearing on the proposal at 5 p.m. on Thursday. The board will have to approve a request to construct the houses without the minimum required rear setback or number of parking spaces.
This is a growing trend in the Greek-life community on campus. Another affiliate of Cedar Square started developing a three-story building this past summer to house the Alpha Xi Delta sorority at 1436 W. Kilbourn Ave. All three projects are to be designed by architect Fouad Saab. Also this summer, the Kappa Sigma fraternity moved into a house that currently holds 35 residents.

Safety, job availablity top issues at MUSG meeting Near West Partners to build up community around MU campus By Joseph Cahill
joseph.cahill@marquette.edu
Two weeks after Marquette announced a partnership with city businesses to improve its surrounding neighborhood, the Near West Side Partners said the primary concern to address is safety. The Partners expressed this during a presentation to Marquette Student Government, which was delivered by Rana Altenburg, the university’s vice president of public affairs. Marquette has partnered with other local corporations including Harley –Davidson Inc., Aurora Health Care Inc., MillerCoors LLC and Potawatomi Business Development Corp. to improve the neighborhood. Altenburg said the Near West Side Partners discussions began when President Michael Lovell was named university president last year and met with other CEOs in the neighborhood. “Mike Lovell has made it a priority to reach out to our community leaders and partner with them,” Altenburg said. “We have worked really hard to build trust with our community leaders,” she said. Altenburg asked the senators what they thought the biggest risk to the neighborhood was and all agreed that it was safety. Altenburg also said HarleyDavidson, a company that brings over a thousand jobs to the neighborhood, was consid-

ering moving their headquarters because of the fundamental issues in the neighborhood. “When you look at the people and companies that have been here for over a hundred years and hear they don’t feel safe, that is alarming,” Altenburg said. Altenburg said that a majority of the crime is focused west of the university, where the Department of Public Safety patrol ends. Altenburg added that the
areas adjacent to the anchors in the neighborhood all experience less crime. Throughout the neighborhood, crime is really only a major challenge in 10 to 12 blocks,” Altenburg said. “We have to start thinking more collectively when we address crime,” she said. Altenburg said despite the challenges in the neighborhood, the Near West Side is full of assets including a bed and
breakfast district, education, health care, and businesses as well as ease of access to the rest of the city. Some of the assets that Altenburg said the neighborhood needs to continue growth is a grocery store and fresh produce, housing for people who work in the neighborhood and retail shops. “The only retail shop I could think of in the neighborhood is the Spirit Shop in the (Alumni
Memorial Union),” Altenburg. Altenburg explained that several companies have already began improving the neighborhood, from Harley-Davidson branding their borders and the Ambassador Hotel buying the corner of 27th and Wells streets from the county. Altenburg said that the strategy of the partners would be to reduce crime and promote the neighborhood assets. She said one of the keys to Near West Side Partners being successful would be for the students at Marquette to become more involved in the neighborhood. “We need students to want to live here, and learned more about our neighborhood,” Altenburg said. “I would love if the student government could organize some focus groups so we can analyze these issues in a closer perspective.” Senator Aliya Manjee, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences asked what the Near West Side Partners were doing to address the homelessness problem and how new housing development might affect low income housing in the neighborhood. “Is there anything in your agenda to address the poverty and homelessness, or do you just plan to revitalize businesses and hope that that will affect the level of poverty,” Manjee asked. Altenburg explained that the neighborhood is filled with nonprofit organizations that are helping with homelessness and the partnership will have to learn how to work together to help the neighborhood.
$500K grant to create program for pastoral leaders Project aims to build confidence in people aspiring to the clergy By Natalie Wickman
natalie.wickman@marquette.edu
Marquette received a $500,000 grant that will create a pastoral leadership program for early career clergy, according to the university said last week . Susan Mountin, director of the Manresa for faculty development program for the spiritual and professional development of faculty, will direct the project. She said the grant was awarded by Lilly Endowment Inc. and will last five years. “The new program is designed to equally address the personal faith formation of ministers and their vocations as leaders in the wider community where faith and culture often collide,” according to a university news brief. Mountin said the program will focus on young pastors of Christian faiths that are five to 10 years past their ordination. It will also include women in comparable leadership roles since they cannot be ordained. Participants will be drawn from southeastern Wisconsin, but Mountin

CUDAHY HALL
JPAD IN JOHNSTON HALL
COLECTIVO LAKEFRONT CAFE
Located on the first floor of the Diederich College of Communication building, Johnston Hall. The jPad contains plenty of desk space for groups looking for creative space, and many couches and chairs that are perfect for quick catnaps between classes. “It has a great space for studying because it is not packed so I always have a spot. Plus, it is in the building with all my classes so it’s convenient,” Lilly Wellen, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said.
This building, built in 1888, was once the Milwaukee River Flushing Station. It has now been transformed into a cozy café for passers-by to enjoy and relax. Located at 1701 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr., this Colectivo location is open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Emma Howard, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said she enjoys the relaxed feel of the location.“I like the openness of the place. I feel like I can breathe and see life happening outside,” she said. “I love places that have natural light and windows. When I’m in the library or my room, I feel like I’m in a box and being forced to study.”
This location is overlooked as a prime study space for students. Its layout is different from many buildings or any other traditional study spots. Cudahy’s space offers an opportunity to find a table of their own to focus directly on schoolwork. With the many floors and tables on every floor, students can always find a table, in comparison to scouting the library for hours without any luck.
THE STONE CREEK COFFEE FACTORY
ROCHAMBO TEA HOUSE
The factory is located on 422 N. 5th Street, which is home to the corporate offices and roasting operations of Stone Creek. According to their website, the main floor, “The Factory Cafe,” was opened in 2012 specifically for customers. The renovation created plenty of space to work and a great atmosphere for students to come and study. “Stone Creek just has huge tables, plenty of outlets and a fireplace,” said Amanda Wach, a graduate student in the College of Engineering.
This establishment is open every night until midnight at 1317 E Brady St. Rochambo partnered with the startup venture Valentine Coffee Roasters to make uniquely planned beverages. Their goal is to “build relationships and a sense of community…One sip at a time” as they are “purveyors of ancient pleasures, serving the underbelly for the greater good,” according to their website. The tea house maybe small in comparison to other places but it still offers a unique experience for students. “It has great coffee and a huge tea selection. The staff is cool, the music is fitting with the adult age group, and the general atmosphere is very relaxed,” Katie Phillips, a senior in the College of Education, said.
‘Birdman’ teaches modesty in pursuit of prestige Oscar front runner shines in compelling script, performances By Jack Taylor
jack.taylor@marquette.edu
Prestige drives all of us and “Birdman” strongly emphasizes that notion. Nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the film is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Following the life of a washed-up Hollywood actor, “Birdman” artistically teaches the effects that one’s self-image can have on the rest of their world. Michael Keaton plays actor Riggan Thomson, made famous by his role as blockbuster superhero Birdman. Thomson feels irrelevant since the Birdman series ended 20 years earlier, so he creates a Broadway stage production to force himself back in the public spotlight. He contributes as the leading actor, writer, director and co-producer. Thomson is not like the others. Birdman is more than just a character from his past; he’s a voice, a presence that Thomson can’t shake out of his head. He even inherited the supernatural powers of Birdman. The opening shot shows Thomson floating cross-legged five feet above the ground. It makes the audience wonder, “Is this guy truly a phenomenon, or is he simply crazy?” The scene sets a theme for the rest of the movie, establishing “Birdman” as a marvelous film in itself and certainly not one to be taken literally on all accounts. Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu proceeds with the film by placing the
audience into the middle of a rehearsal not too long before opening night on Broadway. Upset with the talent of his supporting actor, Thomson uses his “super powers” to knock a stage light loose which falls upon the actor’s head, knocking him—and the production—unconscious. To replace the actor, Thomson and the production crew hire worldrenowned and incredibly pompous actor Mike Shiner (Edward Norton). Shiner’s presence significantly enhances the quality of the play, but his over-sized ego creates tension, drama and humiliation towards Thomson’s dwindling career. With a divorce lingering in his past, a pregnancy scare with a coactress (Andrea Riseborough) and a troubled daughter fresh out of rehab (Emma Stone), Thomson fights to keep his life intact in his own head while trying desperately to rejuvenate his public image. As Shiner tells Thomson, “Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige.” Thomson takes a number of blows to his ego before realizing prestige is what he’s truly after, not popularity. “Birdman” is not about the superhero, but the actor who plays him and his struggle to pull off a successful comeback. Thomson devotes his life to his own public image so much so that he neglects the world around him, especially his family. Thomson deals with personal struggles between himself, his loved ones and the immortal Birdman character. At a glance, “Birdman” fits in society as an autobiographical piece of Keaton himself. Keaton’s undeniable peak as an actor came as Batman, playing the Dark Knight for Tim Burton in 1989 and 1992.
“Birdman” consists of subtle references to the films, with the obvious nod in the movie’s name. Thomson even mentions the last Birdman blockbuster coming out in 1992, corresponding to Keaton’s final appearance as Batman in “Batman Returns,” released in the summer of ’92. I only counted one cut edit in “Birdman.” A cut edit jumps immediately from one scene to another; it’s an edit that seems inevitable and essential to modern film. “Birdman” features the same take for over 100 minutes, something unheard of in the movie industry. Through a series of clever, brilliant transitions, editors show a passing of time by dramatic changes of scenery within the same take. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (“Gravity”) creates stunning visuals, recreating New York City during the skillful editing transitions. The most beautiful shots of the film come when Thomson flies around the city, high off his own liberation. The overall lighting in “Birdman” perfectly fits Thomson’s emotions at the time of the respective scene. The sets are adjusted to make the audience feel like Thomson does: dark, depressed and irrelevant. The star-studded cast, including Zach Galifianakis, Stone and Naomi Watts, backs up Keaton with an unmatched level of confidence, proving “Birdman” features the best acting unit heading into the 87th Academy Awards. Every character is brought to life by his or her respective actor’s portrayal, making for a fantastic, yet extremely dramatic story that keeps us on the edge of our seat for all two hours.

Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s film is nominated for nine Academy Awards.
The most prestigious acting appears between Keaton and Stone in a scene depicting an intense fatherdaughter argument. At the height of Thomson’s emotional roller coaster, his daughter lays it on him with a monologue driven purely by fury and impulsive aggression, immediately followed by regret. Stone blows the scene open, one of the strongest highlights of “Birdman.” No other piece of the movie sparks such strong emotion as Stone’s dramatic blowup. “Birdman” spotlights the art of theater and prestige. Alongside that, it teaches the audience a lesson of modesty, which viewers learn along with Thomson. It preaches that the lives we’re living supersede our own individual egos. Prestige
drives every one of us, but we must acknowledge the rewards, such as love, that we unknowingly have on the path of getting there. On Feb. 22, the cast and crew of “Birdman” will attend the 87th Academy Awards with the potential to win nine Oscars. The film certainly qualifies to win the big one, competing with seven other films for Best Picture. Whether it’s Keaton for Best Actor, Lubezki for Best Cinematography or the seven other nominees, expect to see “Birdman” take home at least one of Hollywood’s most prestigious awards. Prestige is, after all, the essence of “Birdman.” Rating 4/5 Stars

Tribune 7 By Phillip Ghuneim

Marquette recently joined the most popular commercial music streaming application with its own Spotify account, “marquetteu.” Created as the soundtrack for occasions from studying for exams to hitting the gym, here are just a few of the delightful playlists “marquetteu” has to offer.
RUN OUT AHOYA The name “Run out Ahoya” is a clever reference to Marquette’s beloved fight song, “Ring Out Ahoya,” which is played during Marquette’s home basketball games to excite both the players and fans. With that in mind, the play on words is a fitting title for this particular playlist. It features stimulating hits from a diversity of eras, beginning with three of the tremendously inspirational super-group U2’s most popular songs, including “Where the Streets Have No Name.” The playlist then drastically shifts toward a more contemporary selection with “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me” by The Killers. For those who don’t necessarily associate their musical interests with the genre of rock, the playlist also features some of the most iconic pop stars and pop songs of the 80’s like “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, as well as “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” by Whitney Houston. While “Run Out Ahoya” contains a variety of different genres of music, the ultimate objective of the playlist is to rouse and stimulate listeners, a goal it certainly accomplishes.
RELAX AND UNWIND In contrast to the exhilarating motif of “Run Out Ahoya,” this playlist was created in order to help people do exactly what the title suggests. “Relax and Unwind” strays from the inclusion of especially popular songs from a specific genre or era and instead features a much more obscure selection composed of tranquility, including such smooth and comforting songs as “Coffee” by Sylvan Esso and “Rhye” by The Fall. Rather than bombarding listeners with tediously catchy lyrics or generic melodies, this playlist strays from mainstream music to envelop listeners in an atmosphere of repose. Sometimes it’s nice to not know the words, contrary to conventional belief. It provides listeners with the opportunity to appreciate music without having to be consciously engaged.
CALL (414) 801-9929 or visit www.BachApartments.com
ONE FOR THE ROAD Another pick from the “marquetteu” playlist acts as something of a balance between the two contrasting playlists that precede it. While it features colossal rock and roll musicians like Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen, the songs selected are from the lighter side of these artists’ individual catalogues, such as “Going to California” and “Mary Queen of Arkansas,” respectively. This playlist features songs that aren’t quite as mundane as the songs on “Relax and Unwind,” but they also fall short of the intensity of the music on “Run out Ahoya.” Subsequently, it suits listeners whose musical preferences lie somewhere between two extreme poles on the theoretical genre scale.

MU needs to take control of McAdams situation’s narrative
Last Thursday, the university responded to McAdams’ blog post detailing his termination.
Our view: Months after the first incident, McAdams continues to provoke contraversy, prompting the university to actively mediate the situation. While the incident that brought up issues with classroom discussion and freedom of speech was between a Marquette undergraduate and Cheryl Abbate, now a former graduate student, political science professor John McAdams has been at the center of university debate and is evidently losing his job in light of his third party participation. Through his blog, the Marquette Warrior, McAdams addressed the story in November, including his personal outlook on the issue. The post whipped up a frenzy on campus and amongst alumni and the greater public about whether Marquette is or is not acting as a Catholic Jesuit university. For his reports, McAdams came under university review and was subsequently barred from teaching or being on campus during the process. McAdams shared the university’s course of action on his blog Feb. 4, stating that he would be stripped of his tenure and terminated. One would think this was the last act in a drawn-out academic drama, but it continues to unravel as McAdams remains outspoken over the case and the university is left to answer for everything. University President Michael Lovell released a statement Feb. 4 through the university Facebook page, broadly verifying McAdams’ post and attempting to clarify the situation, which has led to many different interpretations. “The decisions here have everything to do with our Guiding Values and expectations of conduct toward each other and nothing to do with academic freedom, freedom of speech, or same-sex marriage,” read Lovell’s statement. It was also divulged that the decision to terminate McAdams was ultimately made for the sake of students and the university’s academic environment. The Facebook post was intended to shed more perspective on the proceedings and ramifications of the course of events, but it remains vague about the proceedings and what will happen
next. Lovell obviously cannot publicly disclose university matters of personnel, explaining the what, how and why of everything, but more needs to be said about what will happen from this point forward. Yes, it is right to reaffirm the university mission and its dedication to students in light of a troubling conflict, yet it does not help calm the situation which McAdams has been adamant to stir up. Though he may have done so in an offensive, rude manner, McAdams inspired widespread debate which Lovell and the university need to address. Holding McAdams accountable for his actions is one thing, but it is also necessary to account for the issues the incident brought up rather than say they had no part in the decision and ignore them. The public has capitalized on the points of free speech and academic freedom and the university would do best to take up these subjects in order to put the greater matter to rest. The university needs to handle the circumstances and take control of further discussion on campus. McAdams has little to lose by sharing his side of the story, and his view is dominating the narrative. Marquette’s administration must take back control of the proceedings to maintain the university’s image as a place where topics are addressed rather than ignored. The explanation that the university acted on behalf of its students can be interpreted in many different ways by the public, so it is important to back that up with a dedicated resolve. Rather than let McAdams shout himself hoarse at the public, the university can take this situation in stride and use it to foster further dialogue about how individuals are treated here. Considering the situation first started in early November, the university has had plenty of opportunities to do take action outside of its vague Facebook post. Now is the time to be proactive, even if it is a little after the fact. Perhaps the story will die out soon, yet this should be on the terms of the university and not left up to a professor with an ax to grind.

The humanities remain valuable for all students Matt Gozun
Columnist Governor Scott Walker drew some flak last week for allegedly suggesting that the University of Wisconsin make it its mission “to meet the state’s workforce needs,” in lieu of “(extending) knowledge and its application beyond the boundaries of its campuses and to serve and stimulate society.” At the heart of the controversy are the differing interpretations of what a college education should be. Traditionalists believe universities are dens of intellectual inquiry, where students go in an attempt to discover some higher truth. On the other hand, some believe that an education is simply a means to an end, a way to get ahead or prepare for some career. For a long time, going to college was a status symbol. For the upper classes, the ability to hold one’s own during fancy dinner party conversations necessitated knowledge of Shakespeare and Aristotle, and so the education of those days emphasized what we now call the humanities – subjects such as English, history and philosophy. Today, as higher education has become more accessible, students are increasingly gravitating toward fields like engineering or business, with clear job prospects in mind. After all, most people don’t have trust funds to pay for college, so it makes sense that they expect some eventual financial return in exchange for their tuition dollars. While it may be difficult for Walker’s opponents to admit, for many students college has become a jobs program. Even the White House has gotten behind the idea, with President Obama a strong proponent of expanding Science Technology Engineering and Math education as a means to growing the economy. But even with a shift toward careeroriented majors, those of us on said
educational paths should not be quick to neglect the intellectual tradition that spawned the university in the first place. While many of my classmates in the sciences bemoan having to take literature and theology, I am glad Marquette makes an attempt to form well-rounded students. And in practical terms, the humanities offer elements beneficial in the workplace that cannot be taught in isolation. For example, whenever I work on a group project in one of my science classes, I always notice at least one of my partners will remark that they dislike writing. It is an important skill in the professional world for any field, but one that is not practiced enough in STEM courses. As any scientist should know, things in the real world do not operate in a vacuum and as much as someone is prepared to work exclusively in science or business, it is impossible to remove the human element of the world. For this reason, the humanities are important. The scientific method tells us how to conduct an experiment, but not if it is unethical to do so. In a society governed by culture and ideology, having an understanding of how humans interpret and understand their world is essential for communicating and working with others, unless one desires a life of complete solitude. The humanities provide us with context to the human world, just as science provides us with context for the natural. Even as those of us in other fields pursue our goals, we should remember people do not just think in terms of numbers and equations, but also in emotion and logic. In today’s forwardlooking culture, it may seem irrational to appreciate the old books written by dead men centuries ago, but as long as knowledge from the past resonates in the present, we should continue to keep our ears open.

The power of music transcends any awards ceremony Sarah Patel
Columnist
While the Grammy Awards are marketed as the biggest night in music, they tend to feature a very limited variety of artists and underplay the wider role of music in our lives. Last night’s ceremony made me think about how I relate to music, how what I choose to listen to varies depending on my mood or the context. Music, in its many forms and genres, is an influential part of our lives and has positive effects. Thinking back on our memories, many of us use a song to explain how we were feeling, or to define a particular moment. Just listening to a song can bring up long forgotten memories and sensory stimulation. A documentary called “Alive Inside,” which can be streamed through Netflix, shows how music can help bring back memories in those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. It is interesting to see how individuals who did not respond to medication or other forms of stimulation changed completely when a song from their past was played. Most were brought to tears, some danced and sang along and others were able to recall memories from the past that Alzheimer’s hid from them. We never really look at music as something that heals. Most commonly, we see it as a form of entertainment, something to listen to while we work out or study and a mood booster. Yet, music has been proven to help in many ways for many different things. Music therapy is becoming more common as the years go on and it as seen as another form of creative healing. Where medication fails, music thrives and many individuals who seek this treatment are more responsive when music is played or used to help engage them. The documentary about music therapy and its benefits is rightly named, as the featured

My favorite story from the documentary showed the couple Norman and Nel, who were able to put off long-term care because of music. Nel suffered from Alzheimer’s and her husband was able to bring music into their home in such a way that she did not need to

Everyone connects to music in their own unique way. Whether it is singing, playing an instrument, dancing, listening to it or all of the above, I think we all can find one melody or song that affects us like none other. A song that makes us feel alive inside and that can do wonders for our emotions. We connect with
music in a way that is entirely human as it allows us to communicate, remember and just live our lives. “Alive Inside” gives a fascinating glimpse into how music can affect people in positive ways and it encourages everyone to think about how music enhances and influences their lives.

Lacrosse scores historic win Greenfield’s hat trick carries Marquette to first win over No. 16 By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
Marquette lacrosse kicked off its season with a bang, earning the program’s first win over a ranked opponent Saturday in a 10-9 upset of No. 16 Lehigh. Graduate student attackman Jordan Greenfield scored a hat trick and added two assists in his Marquette debut. Sophomore midfielder Ryan McNamara scored two goals and an assist and junior attackman Conor Gately had a goal and two assists. Sophomore netminder Jimmy Danaher made 10 saves in the winning effort, including some at point-blank range. “I don’t want to over dramatize it, or downplay it,” coach Joe Amplo said. “Nobody knows who we’re going to become. No one knows who Lehigh is going to become. While there is value in preseason rankings, it’s only one win, and I want our guys to keep that in perspective.” Redshirt junior midfielder Kyle Whitlow pushed Marquette ahead 10-8 with five minutes left in the game, but Lehigh junior midfielder Kurtis Kaunas scored with two minutes left to cut the lead in half. Marquette won the faceoff, and was able to kill all but five seconds off the clock. Lehigh struggled with the clear, and the clock ran out. “At the time (the goal) wasn’t a big deal for me,” Whitlow said. “I took a shot early in the game and the goalie saved it up high. I thought I’d put it down by his legs, and it went in.” Marquette benefitted from strong faceoff play from freshman Owen Weselak. The coaching staff decided to insert Weselak in redshirt junior K.C. Kennedy’s spot in the middle of the game, which seemed to pay off. Weselak went 9-of-15 on faceoffs. There were some jitters in his first NCAA game, but it didn’t affect his performance. “When coach Amplo turned to

me and said, ‘You’ve got the next face off,’ I didn’t know what to do,” Weselak said. “I ran over to get a ball and practice my hand motions real quick. They scored, and then I was in the game... After the first one I got more confidence.” Weselak said he thought he might get an opportunity to play, but was surprised with how early it came. “He went in and won his first one,” Amplo said. “He did a real good job... I feel like we have three good guys all competing for the (faceoff spot).” Marquette fell behind 2-0 early, but Greenfield and junior Jacob Richard responded to tie the score. After trading punches to make it 3-3, the Golden Eagles scored two straight to bookend halftime. Marquette led the rest of the way.
The score alternated between a one-and two-goal lead for the entire third quarter. Marquette’s offense was significantly more comfortable than it was in the team’s last matchup. Greenfield’s goal with six minutes left in the third quarter matched the six goals Marquette scored in last year’s game against Lehigh. Each side scored at the tail end of the third, giving Marquette a 7-5 lead. After winning the faceoff at the beginning of the fourth the Golden Eagles killed nearly five minutes with a long possession, capped off with a Gately goal. “That possession was probably the best possession we’ve ever had here,” Amplo said. However, it wasn’t easy sailing for the Golden Eagles. Last season’s leading scorer for the Mountain Hawks, Dan Taylor,

Women’s hoops picks up second win in conference play over Butler Morse extends free throw shooting streak as MU splits weekend By Andrew Goldstein
andrew.goldstein@marquette.edu
After playing 11 Big East opponents and having only one win to show for it, the Marquette women’s basketball team doubled its conference win total this past weekend. The Golden Eagles split a pair of games during the weekend, losing a road game to Xavier 91-72 Friday before weathering two overtimes to prevail against Butler in Indianapolis Sunday 77-74. “I think we’ve grown as a
defensive team and we’ve grown in our composure,” said coach Carolyn Kieger. Marquette trailed Butler 56-54 with a minute left in regulation when senior guard Arlesia Morse hit a crucial jumper to force a tie. The game went into overtime as Butler turned the ball over on its next possession and Morse missed a potential game-winning three. The Golden Eagles led for the majority of the first overtime and held a two-point advantage with 12 seconds left. However, Butler forward Ijeoma Uchendu connected on a layup as time expired to send the game into another overtime. Marquette bounced back from its failure to capture the win in the first overtime period in the second extra stanza. The visitors hit 6-of-7 free
throws in the final minute of the game to seal away a 77-74 win. Kieger said she was confident her team would be able to pull out the win, even after squandering an opportunity to close out Butler in the first overtime. “I thought we should have won earlier than we did,” Kieger said. “I was pretty confident the whole time.” Morse, who averages 14.8 points per game, recorded a team-high 18 points against Butler to help propel Marquette to victory. She is also a 93.3 percent free throw shooter on the year, which is the best percentage in the NCAA. She has not missed one since Jan. 23, making 41 consecutive free throws in the process. Four players - Morse, Kenisha
Bell, Cristina Bigica and Tia Elbert - scored in double digits for Marquette against Butler. As a team, the Golden Eagles shot 45.3 percent from the floor and 40 percent from beyond the three-point arc. Uchendu recorded a double-double for Butler with 27 points and 13 boards. Xavier, however, proved to be a more difficult opponent for the Golden Eagles. A 3-pointer from Morse cut the Xavier lead to 10 points with 11:52 left in the second half, but that was as close as the score would get for the rest of the game. Briana Glover’s 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting proved to be too much for Marquette to handle as the team dropped the game 91-72. Bell, who scored 17 points against Butler, contributed 19
points against the Musketeers. “The way that Kenisha has progressed has been very encouraging,” said Kieger. “She has learned to control her speed, which is really difficult to do as a freshman.” The weekend’s results move Marquette to 2-11 in conference play and put them in a tie for last place in the Big East with the Providence Friars. The Golden Eagles are currently a game behind the eighth-place Georgetown Hoyas. Marquette will be in the Al McGuire Center next weekend as the Golden Eagles finish up their home slate by taking on St. John’s at 8 p.m. Friday and second-place Seton Hall at 2 p.m. Sunday. It will be the final two home games of the season.

MU comes up short Women’s lacrosse loses double overtime thriller in Houston By Hank Greening
henry.greening@marquette.edu
Sunday marked the first NCAA Division 1 women’s lacrosse game ever played in Houston and it certainly did not disappoint. The Marquette women’s lacrosse team forced two overtimes in the season opener, but could not pull off the upset, losing 8-7 to the No. 16 Johns Hopkins Blue Jays. Things looked bleak for the Golden Eagles as Johns Hopkins took a 7-5 advantage with just 3:14 remaining in overtime, but Marquette refused to give in. Golden Eagle attack Nicole Gleason responded less than a minute later, ripping a shot into the net with 2:24 to go. The Golden Eagles still trailed by one with less than 30 seconds left and looked to the team’s leading point scorer during the past two seasons to make a difference. Attack Claire Costanza fired home the game-tying goal and her second of the game with 18 seconds in the first overtime to force a second, suddendeath period. Unfortunately for the Golden Eagles, the celebration was short lived. Johns Hopkins scored the game-winner just 18 seconds into the second overtime, despite being a player down due to a yellow card and sent Marquette home empty handed.
Tribune 11
Club hockey rides streak into postseason
“Today was a definitely bittersweet game because I’m proud of how the team played,” Marquette coach Meredith Black told GoMarquette.com. “I’m proud of how Hopkins went ahead by two goals in overtime and we still came back to push it into a second overtime. You can’t ask for anything more than that. We played every second of that game as a team and I am proud of that. I would have loved to see a win at the end, but we are going to learn a lot from this game.” The overtime comeback was the second rally Marquette made in the game. The Golden Eagles found themselves in a two-goal hole with nine minutes left in the second half. Trailing 5-3, Marquette pulled together and scored two goals in two minutes thanks to midfielder Taylor Smith and attack Emily Donovan and tied the game with a little more than four minutes to go. Marquette stuck with the favored Blue Jays in every aspect of the game. The Golden Eagles outshot and scooped more ground balls than the Blue Jays in the first half, 13-11 and 9-7. With that being said, there is much to be proud of as this team played well against a top national opponent. “We have to regroup and get back on track,” Black told GoMarquette.com. “We have to work on the details and get better every single day.” The Golden Eagles will be back in action Saturday, Feb. 14 against Colorado in Boulder at 1 p.m.
Golden Eagles cap off weekend sweep with 14-4 pummeling By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
The Golden Eagles (27-7-1) concluded their regular season on a high note, finishing with a 10game winning streak after sweeping Aurora. The wins also secured the No. 1 seed for the Golden Eagles heading into the Mid-America Collegiate Hockey Association regional tournament next weekend at Peoria, Illinois. Marquette played on the road for half of the series at Aurora, Saturday. Marquette held a tight 2-1 advantage through most of the game thanks to goals from sophomore John Stillman and freshman Marc Shipbaugh. But a late score with only 20 seconds left in the third period from Aurora tied the game late and the matchup looked like it was headed for overtime. However, Stillman responded with late-game heroics of his own, taking the puck down the ice by himself and scoring on a slap shot with only six seconds left on the clock. The Golden Eagles closed the last six seconds and won the nail-biter, 3-2. In the home half of the series Sunday, Marquette returned to the Ponds of Brookfield. But unlike Saturday’s affair, the Golden Eagles looked like a different team and annihilated Aurora 14-4. Six first period goals for Marquette quelled any chance of a comeback for Aurora. Stillman continued his strong weekend offensively with four goals and Morrow had two of his own
in a very balanced scoring effort across the board. The breakout performance set a number of season records for the Golden Eagles. Fourteen goals is the highest total for the Golden Eagles in a game this season and the most since scoring 11 times against Northern Illinois in late October. Individually, Stillman’s four goals were the most in a game by anyone on the team all year. Senior assistant captain Tyler Schwichtenberg explained why the team was so effective offensively on Sunday compared to Saturday. “We knew it was the last regular season game and we wanted to end it with a win, especially the seniors, since it was our last game at the Ponds,” Schwichtenberg said. “The goalie for Aurora was different and we wanted to test him early and we did by scoring six first period goals. The biggest difference between (Sunday’s) game and (Saturday’s) game was that we moved the puck well and controlled the tempo of the game.” The sweep also gave Marquette
the easiest route to the Silver Championship in the MACHA regional playoffs. The team’s first matchup will be a rematch against rival Wisconsin-Platteville, an opponent that has played Marquette to numerous one-goal affairs during the last four seasons. The winner will play either No. 4 Missouri State or No. 5 Lewis University for a chance to go to the title game Sunday. Senior captain, Matt Vuoncino believes the combination of different experiences throughout the season have prepared the team for success in the playoffs. “I think you have to look at the entire year as a process of getting ready for the next two weeks,” Vuoncino said. “No matter how well we did, it was pretty much going to boil down to if we can win a handful of big games these two weekends. Our offense is clicking, our defense is strong and our goalies are confident. The most important thing, I believe, is that we have proven to ourselves that we have the heart to dig deep and win those tight games late.”
Better days are on the way for men’s basketball Andrew Goldstein Columnist
This season has certainly been a rough one for Marquette basketball. Blown leads, stagnant offensive possessions and poor rebounding have characterized the Golden Eagles’ season so far. However, the mantra has remained the same since the beginning of the year: next year will be better. To be sure, all current evi-
dence points to Marquette fans’ faith in next year’s team being well-placed. ESPN currently rates Marquette’s recruiting class fifth in the entire country and 247sports, a popular football and basketball recruiting website, ranks it sixth. The class is ranked first in the Big East and ahead of traditional college basketball powers such as Syracuse, Michigan State and Duke. As it stands now, the class is comprised of four players: fivestar power forward Henry Ellenson, four-star shooting guard Haanif Cheatham, four-star
point guard Nick Noskowiak and center Matt Heldt, who is rated as a four-star recruit by some recruiting websites and a three-star by others. The most intriguing prospect of the bunch is Ellenson. He’s Marquette’s first five-star recruit in more than a decade and the first McDonald’s AllAmerican the program recruited since Kerry Trotter in 1982. (Not even Dwyane Wade was an All-American.) This past Friday, Ellenson casually mauled Eau Claire North to the tune of 40 points and 13 rebounds. He has a strong

mid- and long-range jumper, is a superior rebounder, and boasts a well-developed post-game. According to Joe Ziemer of the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram, he even takes photos with every little kid who wants one after the game. He couldn’t have more green flags if he pulled off a 360 dunk while cradling a puppy he just saved from a burning building. The other three prospects Marquette recruited are no slouches either. Cheatham is a capable ball-handler, spotup shooter, and rim-attacker, all traits Marquette needs. He needs to work on his defense and he could certainly stand to put on some muscle, but those are both things that can be taken care of once he arrives on campus. Noskowiak is a knock-down outside shooter who is a threat to score from anywhere on the floor. He could fill the 3-point void Carlino will leave when he graduates after this year, and he adds some fairly strong passing skills. However, his lack of quickness and propensity for taking contested shots could be a problem. Noskowiak has also not played since late December due to personal issues, but Marquette is still honoring his scholarship offer for next season. Finally, Heldt figures to be a big part of solving Marquette’s rebounding woes. Marquette needs him to do one thing only, which is to crash the living day-
lights out of the boards. His offensive game could use improvement, but as long as he rebounds, Wojo will most likely be a happy man. Marquette may not be done adding to the 2015 class either. On Feb. 2, Marquette extended an offer to three-star small forward Sacar Anim from De La Salle high school in Minneapolis and are currently the favorite to acquire him, according to 247sports. The Golden Eagles have 11 players under scholarship for next season, which is two shy of the NCAA maximum of 13. He would be the only small forward in Marquette’s incoming class, so it’s an understatement to say that Marquette has the space to accommodate him. 247sports is also reporting that Steve Wojciechowski is also scouting two junior college prospects, Lee College guards Shawn Smith and Tyrone Outlaw, which should help overcome Marquette’s depth issues. Whether Marquette adds to their recruiting class or stands pat until signing day, next year’s team looks substantially better than this year’s does. So sit back Marquette fans and try not to get too worked up about this season. The greener grass is nearly here.

Seniors Derrick Wilson, Juan Anderson and Matt Carlino will need to lead their team to an emphatic finish if they hope to extend their senior seasons at Marquette.
Golden Eagles begin final stretch of season vs. Xavier Tuesday By Matt Barbato

Marquette’s 57-54 triumph against Seton Hall Saturday was its first victory in three weeks. The Golden Eagles managed to squeak out the victory without leading scorer Matt Carlino and earned their first true road victory of the season in the process. The victory against the Pirates was a big one for many reasons, but how many more games can the Golden Eagles win the rest of the way? As the Golden Eagles focus their attention on the visiting Xavier Musketeers Tuesday night, it’s time to take a look at the rest of Marquette’s slate down the home stretch. Marquette sits at 11-12 overall and 3-8 in the Big East, which means a lot of work needs to be done in the final seven games if the Golden Eagles want to make any postseason tournament. Marquette still has plenty of opportunities to score quality wins, but given the team’s poor depth and inconsistent scoring, playing games in late March may be a lofty expectation. Tuesday’s matchup against Xavier is one of Marquette’s best shots to earn another win this season, but Carlino’s health make this game a
bit of a toss up. Carlino, who suffered a concussion in the Feb. 4 loss to Villanova, is questionable for Tuesday night as he is still dealing with his symptoms. The Musketeers are 2-6 away from home and an inconsistent bunch overall. Marquette nearly beat Xavier on its home floor, but fell apart in the closing minutes thanks to 3-point heroics from Myles Davis. However, Marquette does have a good shot to pick up its second straight victory against Xavier. Marquette’s second conference victory, and last win before the Seton Hall game, came against Creighton on a buzzer-beater by Carlino. The Bluejays will surely be thinking payback in an environment that did not treat Marquette well last season. The Golden Eagles were blown out 67-49 in their first conference game of the 2013-14 season in Omaha, Neb., on New Year’s Eve. This year’s Creighton squad is vastly different from last year’s, which is a big reason why the team is sitting in last place in the conference. The talent level matches up for Marquette, but playing on the road could be overwhelming once again. Marquette heads back home for arguably its biggest home game remaining on the schedule against Villanova on National Marquette Day. The Golden Eagles were dominated by the Wildcats in their first meeting of the season in Philadelphia and a similar result could ensue. However, Marquette will likely
put out its best effort against the juggernaut of the conference before a hostile home crowd that could keep Marquette energized throughout the game. Also, Villanova will be Steve Wojciechowski’s last chance (barring a postseason run), to score a prolific victory in his first season. Marquette’s best wins this season have come against middling teams in Providence, Tennessee and Arizona State. Marquette will hit the road during the last week of February for contests against Butler and Providence. Marquette had the Bulldogs on the ropes at home a couple of weeks ago, but squandered a double-digit lead in the closing minutes. Marquette surprisingly knocked off the Friars in the second conference game of the season at home. It’s hard to imagine Marquette getting a win during this road trip. Butler is nearly unbeatable at Hinkle Fieldhouse and Providence has two of the conference’s best players in LaDontae Henton and Kris Dunn. Marquette closes out its 201415 campaign with two very winnable games against St. John’s (Al’s Day) and DePaul (Senior Day). The Golden Eagles lost to the Red Storm at Madison Square Garden in a back-and-forth tilt and lost its first game in three years to DePaul on New Year’s Eve in Rosemont, Ill. St. John’s is supremely talented, but has struggled to string together wins. The DePaul loss would have been the biggest stunner of the sea-
son if not for the upset against Omaha at the beginning of the year. The Blue Demons pulled out a 61-58 victory in a game Marquette controlled most of the way. Both of these rematches stem from games Marquette probably should have won and that could be a motivating factor. Al’s Day and Senior Day are very emotional games that draw large crowds. It will also
be the last games in the BMO Harris Bradley Center for seniors Carlino, Derrick Wilson and Juan Anderson. Four of Marquette’s remaining seven games are very winnable, but all bets are off in the Big East conference. The Golden Eagles could win several games to finish the season, but it might not be enough for a postseason berth.
