President’s daughter shares battle with illness
Archbishop goes ‘On the Issues’ to talk on future of MKE church By Nicki Perry

The Most Rev. Jerome Listecki, Archbishop of Milwaukee, talked about his archdiocese’s bankruptcy and the future of Catholic education while appearing as a guest Monday for Marquette Law School’s “On the Issues with Mike Gousha.” Listecki, successor to Archbishop Timothy Dolan, recently celebrated his fifth anniversary leading the archdiocese. He spent an hour discussing his faith, his time in Milwaukee and the future of the church. One major issue Listecki discussed was his decision to file for bankruptcy amid the clergy sexabuse scandal back in 2011. The archdiocese filed for bankruptcies after spending at least $33 million in settlements, legal fees and other costs related to the scandal. See Archbishop, Page 3
friendly college. This change will help transfer students have better access to high impact college practices while still graduating with a Marquette degree in four years.” Holz also said that he wanted to emphasize that the University Core of Common Studies is a central part of Marquette and that this college curriculum change will have no impact on the common core. Currently, students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences have a few different core requirements to receive their undergraduate degree. They must take nine credits of philosophy, nine credits of theology, zero to 14 credits of foreign language, and six credits of mathematical reasoning. A minimum of 42 credit hours must be completed within the college, and
Marissa Lovell, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, was not allowed to go into the sea when she was 13 years old. “Marissa, why can’t you go in the waves with me,” her brother asked. He was too young to understand how sick she was. Malnutrition made her so weak that doctors were worried her heart would give out if she went into the water or walked on the beach during vacation. After a long series of misdiagnoses and months of battling a negative body image, Lovell was diagnosed with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa when she was 13. She has since recovered and will share her story with the Marquette community Thursday at 7 p.m. in the AMU ballrooms, as apart of Eating Disorders Awareness Week. “It becomes something that defines you,” said Lovell, the daughter of University President Michael Lovell. “If you’re good at the eating disorder, then that becomes your worth. So when someone tries to take that away from you, it’s terrifying because you feel like you’re losing who you are.” Lovell’s eating disorder started with a sudden change in lifestyle. When she lived in Pittsburgh, she spent nearly four hours a day exercising. At 12 years old, she was a two-sport athlete competing at the high school level. Everything changed when she was injured and had to stop. To make up for her inactivity, she started to limit her caloric intake. She said she worried over every meal despite knowing it was logical that she had to eat. Her family’s attempts to pressure and trick her into eating only made her resistance greater. Everyone around her struggled to understand why she would not eat. “It is clearly an individual

Beginning fall 2015, the College of Arts & Sciences is changing its core requirements and lightening some of the credit burden students face compared to those in other colleges. “This change will make it easier for students to graduate in four years, which will reduce their overall debt load and time to degree,” said Dean Richard Holz in an email. “One of our strategic plan goals is to become a more transfer-

situation, but eating disorder clients often refer to the tremendous shame and guilt associated with their eating disorder, which keeps them secretive and unlikely to seek treatment,” Laura Gray, a Marquette counselor who specializes in eating disorders, said in an email. “It is not unusual for friends and family to mistakenly praise eating disorder students for weight loss, worsening the eating disorder. So the perception can be that it is not a big deal.” Marissa Lovell’s struggle to improve her self-image was one she fought alone after her family’s move to Milwaukee. She said she failed to find a therapist who did not judge her for the way she saw herself. She learned to incentivize eating and worked to focus her
energy away from constantly thinking about her weight. “After she was diagnosed, I tried to control when and how much Marissa would eat,” President Lovell said in an email. “I Sharpied off the nutritional information on boxes thinking that would help her to eat things more, but it actually made it worse. She wouldn’t eat anything that she did not know the nutritional information. I just wanted her to gain weight to get healthy and didn’t realize that true healing could only come through Marissa improving her self-image and state of mind.” Marissa Lovell said she found inspiration in the stories of people who took their personal suffering and created something positive. These include people like the

creators of the Project Heal organization, who met in treatment for anorexia and started the nonprofit to raise awareness and funds for those who cannot afford treatment. There’s also Lucy Howard Taylor, who wrote the book “Biting Anorexia” after her brush with death battling anorexia nervosa and major depression. By sharing her experience with the Marquette community, Marissa Lovell said she hopes to address society’s deficient knowledge of how to support people with eating disorders. “Back when I was really struggling with it in my earlier teenage years, I didn’t really have anyone to look up to because people don’t talk about (eating disorders) often,” Marissa Lovell said.
Marissa Lovell visited a therapist until she was 17 years-old. Today, she is on a pre-med track as a biomedical sciences major. She said she is finally able to focus on her school work and live a healthy life, to take care of herself without the disorder consuming her attention. “I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned is patience and forgiveness toward yourself,” Marissa Lovell said. “I think the reason my anorexia was so bad was because even before I went through it I was such a perfectionist. So the perfectionism kind of took over. So I think the biggest lesson I learned was learning how to accept my own limits.”

Archbishop: Catholic education, synod highlighted in discussion “The interesting thing about the Milwaukee bankruptcy is its complexity,” Listecki said. “It’s not like other bankruptcies that have been experienced by dioceses or archdioceses in the country. This bankruptcy was not generated by, what is referred to as, a look-back statute of limitations. This was a bankruptcy that was clarified by myself and I did so because I knew that we had limited resources and we needed to do something to address and bring some closure.” In terms of Catholic education, Listecki said the future lies in how schools use their resources to strengthen the presence of Catholic education, in the city of Milwaukee. “Catholic education has, over the last three (or) four years, defied the statistics,” he said. “It starts right away with leadership and to take a look immediately at what is the enemy of school systems across the United States.” Listecki mentioned two enemies to Catholic education: shifting demographics and the cycle of poverty. To address the shifting demographics, he emphasized collaboration of resources and expressed opposition to the merging of schools. To address to poverty cycle, he said the key is education but that society needs to provide the environment.
Gousha also asked Listecki about the future and mission of the Archdiocese that was discovered last year through what is called a synod. Listecki described the synod as an assembly or a gathering for people to articulate a vision for the church that would last 10 to 15 years. “You cannot understand the church unless you understand mystery,” Listecki said. “Mystery is a part of all of our lives ... We’ve lost that sense of the awe and the wonder.” Listecki did take a moment to move the conversation beyond Milwaukee, sharing a comparison of Pope Francis to Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict, as well as his thoughts on the inhumane actions of the Islamic State. He said he hopes the Islamic community would construct the parameters for what should be rejected as evil. Going forward, Listecki said he has complete faith in the city of Milwaukee. “I’m a believer,” he said. “And I can tell you the success of the city that we experience came out of prayer. And I can tell you that it’s going to be prayer that’s going to help motivate us to establish the priorities. Those priorities are vast.” “There’s a real love for the city,” he added. “But you can’t just love the city.”

Curriculum: Changes reduce requirements for foreign language 32 of those credits need to be completed at Marquette, for a total of 128 credit hours upon graduation. Changes will include the elimination of three credit hours from each of these classes, meaning that beginning next year students will need to take six credits apiece of philosophy and theology and three of mathematical reasoning. Foreign language credits will no longer be required from students seeking a Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Arts students will only need up to two semesters of
foreign language. Any further language requirements are left up to the discretion of individual majors, and some departments may choose to have higher minimum credit hours. Additionally, students in the College of Arts & Sciences will now only need 120 credit hours to graduate. Current students can opt in to this change if they choose, and the College of Arts & Sciences will begin to send out emails informing students of their options, starting with students who will graduate in December 2015. Some advisors
will be specially trained to help students with this transition. Holz and students alike are “excited” for the change, as it will allow more course freedom and flexibility. “Across the country, 120 credits is today’s standard for universities,” Holz said. “By making this move, we will now be aligned with all of our major competitors, including Boston College, Georgetown, Loyola (Chicago) and Creighton.

Four students hold up a sign decrying racial injustice in Milwaukee at the basketball game Sunday.
Students claim arena security escorted them from game for banner By Natalie Wickman
natalie.wickman@marquette.edu
A group of four students said they were escorted from the BMO Harris Bradley Center Saturday for holding up a sign that read “Black & Brown Lives Matter” during the men’s basketball game. The students holding the sign — Laree Pourier, Victoria Gokee-Rindal, Nyree Khamo and Joseph Martinez II — were approached by the arena’s security staff who said the sign was too large and in violation of the arena’s sign policy. Martinez posted a photo of the incident on Facebook, with a caption that said he and the others were kicked out of the game by center security because of the sign. Brian Dworak, vice president and general manager of the Bradley Center, said he was not present during the incident but was briefed on it after. The arena’s policy allows guests to bring in 2-by-3-feet signs or smaller. Dworak said signs need to fit the policy so the view of other guests isn’t blocked. He also said he is not aware if anybody complained that the sign, approximately 4-by-8 feet, was blocking their view. The students said they did not look up the center’s sign restrictions before making their sign. Dworak said he does not believe that any member of security said the sign was “offensive.” However, Khamo said a security member described the sign as “offensive.” When asked why, Khamo said the member would refer back to
the banner size. Dworak said security asked the students to check their sign into the administrative office and pick it up after the game. He said the students declined and then left on their own. “(The students) were absolutely not ejected from the building,” Dworak said. Pourier disagrees, though, and said she and Gokee-Rindal were escorted out. “After halftime ended, we were asked by the security officer who was closest to us to put away the sign, and so we did,” Pourier said. “Ten minutes into the second half of the game, the head of security approached (Martinez) and told him that he needed to come with him.” Martinez and Khamo went outside of the seating area and were questioned about the sign and told about the center’s sign size restrictions. Pourier and Gokee-Rindal also left and stood watching nearby until Pourier and Gokee-Rindal were escorted out. “The two of us were escorted all the way out the building and had the door closed behind us,” Pourier said. Martinez and Khamo said they also left the game after their friends were escorted out. “After that, they proceeded to hand out big heads, which seemed a lot larger than the sign requirement security just told us,” Martinez said. Dworak said Milwaukee police officers were likely already in the center and around the student section, especially since alcohol was being served. “We have police in the building for virtually every event we do,” Dworak said. “It had nothing to do with the content of the signage. It was really about size.” University spokesman Brian Dorrington said in an email the Bradley Center’s team spoke
with members of Marquette’s Department of Athletics about the incident. “(The security team) informed us that the sign was beyond the permissible size and the group was asked to check it in to be retrieved following the game, and at no point was the group asked to leave,” Dorrington said. Although the incident did not directly involve Marquette employees, Martinez said it should be a call of action to the university. “It’s a banner that’s calling attention to the current racial situation that we have in the U.S.,” Martinez said. “People will repute ‘Black & Brown Lives Matter’ by saying ‘All Lives Matter.’ All lives matter at all times, but we’re saying that there’s a certain population, based on their skin color, that’s attacked and targeted more.” Pourier said she and the others tried to start a “black lives matter” chant during Saturday’s basketball game. “The silence that we received while chanting ‘black lives matter’ was in itself very violent,” Pourier said. “It was interesting that we were being entertained through a sports game mostly done by black men but those students weren’t willing to chant ‘black lives matter.’” Martinez said money is an issue when it comes to funding resources for people of color on campus. “We’re definitely not going to say Marquette doesn’t offer any resources geared towards a more welcoming environment,” Martinez said. “The Center for Intercultural Engagement needs a lot more resources. The center has given a safe haven to a lot of students and stopped them from transferring. At the same time, it’s not getting enough resources to be as effective as it can be.”
College of Arts & Sciences, said this change means less stress for her and other students to graduate on time, but also mentioned the importance of taking core classes. “It will be helpful for people who already know what they want to major in, so they can focus on classes for their major,” James said. “It’s less stress about graduating on time and fulfilling all the class requirements. But sometimes it is good to take classes outside one’s major because you can learn some really interesting things.”
Marquette Student Government introduced two new pieces of legislation, including revisions to the impeachment process of senators and a recommendation that the Milwaukee Police Department be equipped with all-terrain vehicles. Senator Cameron Vrana, a freshman in the College of Business Administration, helped write Amendment 12: Clarification for Impeachment and Removal from Office Procedures. Vrana explained the legislation already existed in the MUSG constitution and the amendment only makes it easier to understand. Some of the major changes include defining who can impeach senators. Vrana explained any full-time student who pays their $30 activity fee is considered a member of MUSG, and if passed, the legislation would read that any MUSG member may submit a request of impeachment. “This opens the door to any student who wants that accountability over their senators,” Vrana said. “Previously, it was confusing whether it had to be a senator, or who could request impeachment.” Other changes would include giving the senate the ability to remove any officer with a twothirds vote and recommendation of the president, instead of requiring a majority vote from the selection committee.
Vrana said the College of Arts & Sciences student council came to MUSG with a concern about removing senators that weren’t fulfilling their duties. “This legislation came about because we were looking in to it,” Vrana said. “It is not intended to specifically address any concerns against senators at this point. The council just didn’t know how to go through the process if they had to.” MUSG President Kyle Whelton, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, explained that a couple of years ago, senate members from certain student councils were not attending meetings and fulfilling their duties as representatives, prompting questions about possible removal from office. The second piece of legislation was a recommendation that suggested the acquisition of all-terrain vehicles by the Milwaukee Police Department to help patrol the Marquette neighborhood. Senator Brian Touhy, a sophomore in the College of Engineering, wrote the recommendation that would approve 10 ATVs to be used by MPD to better serve and protect Marquette and the City of Milwaukee. Touhy said MUSG should support the recommendation because Marquette University would be included in the patrol area that MPD would cover. This ATV program is being proposed to bridge the gap between bicycle patrol officers and squad officers. Touhy explained the bicycle officers cannot operate during the winter season, and the all terrain vehicle mounted officers could fill the need. Both pieces of legislation will be voted on at the next MUSG meeting on Monday, March 2.

Grindr (Free) (iOS, Android) “Grindr” is an app geared towards gay, bisexual and bi-curious men. The app uses your location to identify other men around you, giving you the option to check out the user’s profile, chat, send pictures and share your location.
2
Down (Free) (iOS, Android) “Down” is a new Facebook app helps you find friends who are “down for the night.” The app—which seems to be geared towards heterosexual pairings only—allows you to choose which of your friends you are attracted to, but it will only show matches when both parties like each other. Once the pairing is made, you’ll receive an email notification of the match.
3 Yik Yak (Free) (iOS, Android) Yes, it’s true, “Yik Yak” is not a dating app. This college-focused app is somewhat like an anonymous, location-based Twitter. Because of the anonymity, many people feel free to express their thoughts, and very often look for partners…which has a tendency of not always working so well.
4 OkCupid (Free) (iOS, Android) To find a match using “OkCupid,” you simply answer a few basic questions. When you’re done, you’re presented with a group of matches based on mutual interests and values. The questions are short and simple and the app promises to find who you’re looking for in just 30 seconds—if that’s even possible.

Willow (Free) (iOS) One of the newest mobile dating options, “Willow” seeks to help you “branch out.” Unlike Tinder, you will not swipe through images and make decisions based on beauty. Instead, you swipe your way through faceless questions, which means to help you find meaningful relationships. It’s a refreshing and much less superficial addition to the mobile dating world.
Hot or Not (Free) (iOS, Android) The “Hot or Not” game was launched 15 years ago and became a very popular website. Now, it continues to win over people as an app. Very similar to Tinder, Hot or Not uses your location to show you options of people, who you vote on based on physical attraction. The app also tracks your “popularity,” so it is either a good confidence booster or a cataclysmic reality check.
Whisper (Free) (iOS, Android) This secret-sharing application is not exactly a dating network, but it has become increasingly popular on college campuses for this specific reason. The app allows users to post anonymous confessions in the form of photos and message other users. This app also allows you to filter confessions based on location, which makes it easy to meet others around you.
Hinge (Free) (iOS, Android) Just like Tinder, “Hinge” presents you with a person’s photo and basic information (name and age). However, there is a catch. The app only connects users who have mutual friends on Facebook. That way the potential matches are far less “far-fetched” than on Tinder.
Tastebuds (Free) (iOS) “Tastebuds” is a fairly new networking app which uses your phone’s music to pair you with people who share a similar taste in music. Apart from dating, this app is a great way to connect with new people and make new friends or concert buddies. Currently, the app is only available in the Apple App Store.
JSwipe (Free) (iOS, Android) “JSwipe” uses your location to help you find cuties around you. That is, Jewish cuties. JSwipe is the No. 1 Jewish mobile dating app and, as far as interfaces go, it is very similar to Tinder.

Comedic, inspirational speeches abound at Oscars MU Theatre alum Stockhausen among Academy winners By Jack Taylor
jack.taylor@marquette.edu
Oscar Sunday began with a rainy red carpet ceremony. Stars strutted down the carpet, showing off the usual glamour. Nominees felt nervous, and rightfully so. It’s only Hollywood’s biggest night of the year. No pressure. The first award of the night was Best Supporting Actor. The Oscar went to J.K. Simmons for his role as Fletcher in “Whiplash.” Simmons is most recognizable as the bald-headed insurance agent in television ads. He took the stage and encouraged everyone to tell their
mom and dad how much they love them; he told the audience not to text, but to call their mom and dad and exchange actual words of love. After Simmons left the stage, Harris walked on and sang, “He won an Oscar. Bum-bum-bumbum-bum-bum-bum!” to the tune of the insurance jingle. Patricia Arquette took home the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the mother in “Boyhood.” Arquette’s acceptance speech consisted of inspirational words directed towards women fighting for gender equality. The speech sparked positive emotion in the audience, most notably Meryl Streep. “The Grand Budapest Hotel” had a great night and its third Oscar of the evening had huge significance on campus. Marquette alumnus Adam Stockhausen (Diederich College of
Communication, Class of ’95), took home the Oscar for Best Production Design. His work included intense changes of scenery, ranging from hotel lobbies to prisons. Stockhausen was previously nominated last year for the same award on his work in “12 Years a Slave.” He is the first Marquette alumnus to achieve an Academy Award since Don Ameche won Best Supporting Actor in 1986. The tribute was soon followed by a performance of “Glory,” the soon-to-be Academy Award winner for Best Original Song, performed by John Legend and Common, creating one of the most memorable moments of the night. The performance touched on racial issues in our nation drawing parallels from the March on Washington 50 years ago. It received a standing ovation from the audience. Tears rolled down the faces of
Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo (“Selma”) and Chris Pine (“Into the Woods”). To announce that award, Idina Menzel took the stage and intentionally screwed up the introduction of her partner John Travolta, poking fun at last year’s notorious botching of Menzel’s name. “Oh, Idina Menzel,” Travolta said, looking away from her and towards the audience. “Is that right?” Julianne Moore took home the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance as Alzheimer’s patient Alice Howland in “Still Alice.” Moore said in her acceptance speech that movies play a significant role in raising awareness for the condition. Neil Patrick Harris opened the briefcase that remained untouched on stage up until that point. Not only were the predictions for the awards correct, but
Harris successfully predicted the topics of the acceptance speeches. The case was not tampered with at all during the show. ABC.com even featured a “Case Cam,” where viewers can watch the case for the entirety of the ceremony. Magic, simply magic. It’s only fitting that the most prestigious award in Hollywood went to the film dealing with prestige itself, “Birdman.” The movie took home Best Picture, earning its fourth Oscar of the night, tying with “The Grand Budapest Hotel” for winning the most wins. The 87th Academy Awards were a huge success and lived up to the expectations set by its predecessors. Moviegoers have a lot of cinematic greatness to look back on in the past year and even more greatness to look forward to in 2015.
The difference between eating to live and living to eat is often ambiguous. Finding the balance between these two extremes means appreciating cooking as an art form capable of nourishing the body and mind while concurrently catering to the senses and the soul. For those who are interested in realizing this delectable equilibrium, here are three of the best cooking channels on Youtube that’ll teach you to chew with your eyes closed.
Hilah Cooking
Unless you are a naturally gifted culinary prodigy or have the amount of time necessary to become one, you probably aren’t in search of complex and timeconsuming recipes. Luckily, Hilah Johnson of Hilah Cooking prides herself on offering comprehensive video tutorials on dishes that are relatively simple to prepare for the sake of the working man and woman. While Hilah aims to appeal to the novice chef, her tutorials aren’t limited to diner food. What makes Hilah Cooking such an extraordinary channel is its offering of stressfree and delicious recipes of a variety of cuisines including authentic Mexican, Asian, Italian and even some Middle Eastern meals.
Laura in the Kitchen
In contrast to the variety of foods featured on Hilah Cooking, Laura in the Kitchen focuses predominantly on a single cuisine, Italian food. The fact that Laura focuses on one form of cultural cookery means that dishes may be a bit more difficult to prepare compared to Hilah Cooking. However, this specialization of recipes proves precursory to a more refined and culturally authentic end result. In addition, such intelligible and interactive tutorials offered by Laura in the Kitchen compensate for the increase in difficulty. Moreover, for those with a fundamental culinary understanding, this channel will allow you to hone and refine those basic skills in order to increase your cooking repertoire and ultimately become a better chef.
Veggietorials
After you’ve thoroughly explored the first two channels on this list, give your arteries a rest with a healthier selection of recipes. Hosted by Cobi Kim, Veggietorials features video tutorials for exclusively vegan and plantbased dishes. In addition to vegetarian cooking recipes, Cobi Kim offers viewers healthy eating tips as well as vegan restaurant reviews, which she calls “Vegging Out,” in consideration for how difficult these types of eateries may be to find in our primarily carnivorous society. Don’t be discouraged by the tremendous health benefits of these recipes, because according to her viewers, and what makes this particular vegan cooking channel so remarkable, is that her dishes do not lack in the taste department.

Klingler core changes allow students to explore interests
Photo by Valeria Cardenas/valeria.cardenas@marquette.edu
In 2014, the Klingler College moved to Sensenbrenner Hall and faces new changes in 2015.
Our view: The College of Arts & Sciences curriculum modifications will positively affect its students as they will have more flexibility in their academic endeavors. As the university looks to promote improvement for campus’ overall climate, there are other impending changes that will affect students at Marquette, particularly in the humanities and hard sciences. Last week, Klingler College of Arts & Sciences Dean Richard Holz announced new changes to the college in a forum with students. These included altering the college’s core requirements by decreasing the foreign language and science requirement and eliminating both the third-level theology and philosophy. The overall number of required credits to graduate with a degree has gone from 108 to 100, giving students more flexibility with course requirements. Holz and his associate deans said these changes are a direct result of the feedback students provided last year, which said the core was too rigid and often difficult to complete. The students’ collective voice was heard and, starting next fall, Arts & Sciences students can opt into this new curriculum, which continues to be a work in progress as the details are figured out. While some could see this as a ploy to de-emphasize theology and philosophy at Marquette and give Arts & Sciences students an easier load, these changes are truly positive. As they serve students’ interests and their ability to explore different areas of study throughout the university, college core changes open up a student’s learning experience rather than restricting it. The college’s response to feedback ultimately shows a dedication to the students and their individual interests. Holz and Susannah Foster, Arts & Sciences associate dean, were adamant that these changes would allow students to pursue secondary majors or minors in the college and across colleges. Greater flexibility with the requirements is not intended to let students slack off, but instead to encourage academic exploration, a very important feature of the university setting
that should be widely acknowledged. Decreasing the number of core requirements within the college makes it more uniform with other colleges within the university. Klingler is the only college which currently requires four semesters of a foreign language and three theology and philosophy courses each. College transfers will have an easier time transitioning and will still have room to pursue additional coursework. The departments of foreign languages, philosophy and theology may worry that a drop in class enrollment will be imminent, yet there are still core requirements to draw students into the disciplines. The core changes will also make it easier for a student to pick up a second major or minor if they become passionate about a new subject. There could alternatively be a boost in interested students’ enrollment in classes and more majors because they have more flexibility with their credits. Requirements may be going down within the college, but that does not mean there will be any less interest or focus on the different disciplines. Instead, students will be able to pursue more of a variety, as well as other opportunities in research, interning and campus activities. The College of Arts & Sciences students ultimately win with these changes, as they will be able to do more with their time at Marquette and seek out new opportunities and interests. This is a direct result of the college’s administration taking the concerns of students seriously. Dean Holz and his associates have set a commendable example for how other colleges might try to use student opinion to make the school more flexible and beneficial to the overall student experience. Changing what is required of students directly affects them and it is ultimately up to each college’s administration to determine if the effect will be positive or negative. Looking at the current response to Klingler’s core changes, it might be advisable for other colleges to follow suit with Arts & Sciences.

Failures present additional chances to pursue success Sarah Patel
Columnist The middle of the semester looms near and for those of us graduating in May approaching the end of our time as undergraduates, the future is on the horizon. This time of year gets people thinking about entering the “real world.” Those of us moving on to different careers or more schooling face the unknown, which can include failures and successes. Most of us hope for success and want to avoid the much-feared failure. Through all our years of school, we were taught failing is a bad thing we need to avoid because of what its negative connotations. When we get answers wrong on a test or do not fully grasp a concept, points are taken away and we are made to feel bad about it. It seems that in the “real world,” we fear bigger consequences. This fear can keep us where we feel comfortable. We fear to step outside of our comfort zone, so we sacrifice trying new things in order to avoid failure. Society enables this fear of failure by implying a negative connotation of the word fail. We feel the burden of failure more than the positive feeling of success and the failures often stick out more than the successes. Avoiding failure can also mean avoiding success. Without trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zone, we may never feel the impact of true success. We often don’t recognize that success often stems from failure and that success is sweeter when one works hard and struggles to achieve it. I, like many, have failed countless times.
One instance was when I didn’t get a job that I applied for in my sophomore year. I was disappointed and felt like I had failed but I also learned from it. When the same position opened up the following year, I made sure I was better prepared and that time around I got the job. That experience taught me how I could learn from my failures and how giving up and giving in to disappointment would have made me a true failure. Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Edison’s conception of what it means to be successful seems pretty accurate. In the world of sports, an athlete may fail at scoring a goal countless times, but the times in which they succeed are the ones that count. As human beings, messing up will always be inevitable. At times it can devastate us, but it is truly about how one shows resiliency in the face of defeat. True success is not being defined by our mistakes, but by persevering in the face of them. We are taught as students to internalize our shortcomings and seek out ways to overcome them. We study with the understanding that if we don’t, bad things will happen. When we don’t understand something, we have it in our mind that we will fail. We view failure as a negative end and not as a reason to try harder next time. Society puts this fear in us as well. We often don’t hear about the failure that comes before success, but that is a better representation of how things really work. We should not be defined just by our successes, but how we overcome failure to succeed. Sarah Patel is a senior studying social welfare and justice, philosophy and sociology.

Scientific evidence continues to support vaccinations Matt Gozun
Columnist The recent case of a Marquette student hospitalized for bacterial meningitis drew headlines across the Milwaukee area and seemed to be but the latest in a series of health-related scares in the media. From last year’s Ebola outbreak to the recent spike in measles infections across the country, some observers may be tempted to draw some comparisons to the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages or the Spanish Flu that killed more people than the First World War that preceded it. However, in terms of sheer numbers, the diseases of today are not the killers their predecessors were. And despite the recent controversy surrounding them, vaccines, and their widespread usage, still deserve the bulk of the credit for this reduction in fatalities. For most of human history, the world’s population grew at a relatively constant rate only to explode during the 20th century thanks to a drop in disease-related deaths, especially among children. The aforementioned Spanish Flu killed around 675,000 Americans from 1918 to 1929. In comparison, the Swine Flu pandemic in 2009 had only 3,433 confirmed deaths. When you consider the United States population in 1918 was about one-third what it was 91 years later, the actual differences between casualty rates become much more obvious. Imagine how many lives would have been saved if they had the flu shot, something you can get over the counter at Walgreens for just $32, which has been around since the 1910s. In 2013, according to the CDC, the six leading causes of death for Americans ages 15-24 were accidents, suicides, murders, cancer, heart disease and genetic defects. None of these are in any way contagious. In fact, the leading contagious causes of death, influenza and pneumonia, resulted in only 147 deaths for that age bracket in 2013. It says a lot about how far medicine has come when you have a higher chance of dying being struck by a bus on Wisconsin Ave. than you do from a communicable disease. The reason why most Americans do not have to worry about plagues wiping out half of the town is because of a culture of prevention. Arguably, the greatest lifesaver of the

past 100 years has been vaccination. In 1979, smallpox, the same disease that decimated Native American populations following European contact, was declared eradicated by the World Health Organization following worldwide vaccination campaigns. Unfortunately, the success of vaccinations has masked some of its necessity. As one rather sensational anti-vaccine website declares, “ZERO U.S. Measles Deaths in 10 Years, but Over 100 Measles Vaccine Deaths Reported.” Whether the author would have preferred more people to die from measles over the same period is not clear, though there is a high possibility that this would have occurred had vaccination not been the norm. Despite claims that vaccines cause autism (which have been repeatedly addressed in peer-reviewed

MU must recognize real social problems on campus This past weekend, we celebrated National Marquette Day. We had fireworks, a pep rally and a basketball game. It was supposed to be a weekend of celebrating Marquette’s successes and the impact we have made on the world. However, Marquette’s failings came into focus Saturday as students at the men’s basketball game were removed and threatened with arrest. Their crime? Holding up a sign that declared “Black and Brown Lives Matter.” Most people will recognize the message, calling to mind the continued protests against police violence and the refusal of courts to indict those responsible for the deaths of black men across the country. Their sign was called offensive. They wonder, to whom? As a Jesuit institution, we talk extensively about social justice, but Marquette has yet to make a statement on anything related to any of the recent protest movements, even with the end of last semester’s die-in. The university has been silent and many students are becoming increasingly frustrated with what seems like dismissal of the issues from the
administration. This is only held in sharper relief in contrast to the Marquette Warrior shirts worn by individuals just a couple rows behind the protestors. Those shirts and the attitude attached to them are the real shames of Marquette. As our Jesuit mission calls, we must care for the whole person. This involves respecting and addressing the experiences of those who feel that they are not valued on this campus. This means publicly acknowledging the problems we face in terms of diversity. This means admitting that we need to make more of a difference. It isn’t enough to say “All Lives Matter.” We have to address the specific struggles of students on this campus. Otherwise, we’re just generalizing and distracting from the real problems and we will continue a culture of apathy toward very real issues. This is not something we can afford to do as our campus continues to grow and diversify.

literature) to more far-fetched conspiracies regarding government microchips, studies have repeatedly shown vaccines to be effective and safe for the vast majority of people. Some people, however, remain convinced they are harmful and are opposed to vaccinating themselves or their children. Is it justifiable to force them to get immunized? Perhaps not. People generally have the right to decide which medications they take and though they can pose a problem for public health, it still sounds strange that someone could be sent to jail for refusing a vaccine. Thankfully, freedom of association exists. While the government cannot force parents to vaccinate children, they can make it a prerequisite for attending public schools, just as many private schools do today. Workplaces
can make vaccination a prerequisite of employment and insurance companies could use it as a requirement for coverage. Such societal pressures could ensure that those concerned about immunization surround themselves with similarly thinking people. While individuals are free to risk their own health, they do not have the right to endanger the people they learn or work with. Hopefully, one day such agreements will be viewed as inconsequential, since in the vaccination debate, the evidence leans heavily in the right direction.

Greenfield nets game winning goal as MU overcomes late deficit By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
The 2015 Marquette men’s lacrosse team has taught viewers an important lesson: It’s not over until the final buzzer sounds. Despite being down four goals at the start of the fourth quarter, the Golden Eagles roared back. Graduate student attackman Jordan Greenfield capped off his impressive day with his sixth goal of the afternoon a minute into overtime, securing an 1110 victory against Richmond for the Golden Eagles. “Our guys have a funny way of keeping it very exciting,” coach Joe Amplo said. “Fortunately
we’re lucky enough to come out on the right side again.” Greenfield broke a program record in just his third game at Marquette with six goals against Richmond. His contributions were a huge factor in Marquette’s late comeback. Three of those goals came in the fourth quarter during Marquette’s 6-2 run. He was named the Big East Offensive Player of the Week yesterday for his efforts. “He is such a good competitor,” Amplo said. “(I) give him a lot of credit. He was getting a lot of verbal abuse from their fans and some of their kids. He just hung in there. He could have lost his cool and lost his temper. I’m really proud of him for just staying the course and being focused on his job. At the end of the day I think he had the last laugh” Junior attackman Conor Gately had three goals and an assist and redshirt junior midfielder Kyle
Whitlow had a goal and an assist. Goalkeeper Jimmy Danaher made 11 saves in the victory. The victory pushed Marquette up to No. 16 in the media poll and 17 in the coaches’ poll, each one spot up from last week. Both are new record-highs for the program. Down 8-4 at the start of the third quarter, the chances the Golden Eagles would win seemed bleak. Despite the odds, the team has shown from experience such a feat could be overcome. Marquette came back from that same deficit last week against Hofstra. The team knew it could be done. Marquette scored the first four goals of the quarter in nine minutes to tie the game up at eight. After a goal by Richmond’s sophomore midfielder Jean-Luc Chetner the Golden Eagles responded again. The Golden Eagles scored twice in the final minute, with Gatley getting the go-ahead goal with just 16 seconds remaining.
“It (shows) the strength of the unity of our kids,” Amplo said. “They really care about each other. They aren’t going to let a four-goal lead stop them.” However, the Golden Eagles were called for a faceoff violation, allowing the Spiders one last opportunity to stay alive. Sophomore attackman J.P. Forester found fellow sophomore attackman Mitch Goldberg, who beat senior Logan Tousaw to the front of the net. Goldberg buried his fifth of the afternoon with seven seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. “I don’t know what emotion I felt because I was just trying to stay calm and grounded for the guys,” Amplo said. “I told the guys, ‘If I told you 20 minutes ago that it will be 10-10 and we had to go to overtime every single one of you would have signed up for it.’” Redshirt junior K.C. Kennedy won the opening faceoff of the
extra period, and it didn’t take long for the Golden Eagles to capitalize. Greenfield buried the ball past sophomore goalkeeper Benny Pugh, to move the Golden Eagles to 3-0. This marks the first time Marquette has been three games over .500. The Golden Eagles have won an overtime game in every year of their existence. In 2013, Marquette defeated Bellarmine 9-8. Last season the team won two separate overtime games, beating Georgetown 11-10 and St. John’s in double overtime by the same score. The Golden Eagles are back in action with a pair of games this weekend at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. Marquette kicks off the weekend festivities Friday afternoon against Detroit, followed up by Jesse King and the Ohio State Buckeyes Sunday.
Club hockey season ends in ACHA Regional Golden Eagles play hard, but come up short in loss to RMU By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
Sometimes, the puck just doesn’t bounce your way. Marquette’s season came to an abrupt close in the first game of the ACHA Pacific Regional Tournament. The Golden Eagles lost to Robert Morris-White 7-4 and failed to qualify for the ACHA Nationals in March. While he was disappointed in the result, coach Will Jurgensen was
proud of his team for making it all the way to the regional tournament. “Considering only the top 10 teams in the region have a shot to play for nationals is an accomplishment in itself,” Jurgensen said. “I think Marquette is capable of making regionals every year and that should be something we strive for each season. The competition was very strong at this year’s regional, and it shows that Marquette is still building in the right direction to be among teams like Colorado State, Arkansas, and Northern Arizona.” Robert Morris-White scored two quick goals and took a 2-0 lead in the first period of the Friday matchup. Marquette’s first two goals came in the second period from
sophomore Corey Quinn and freshman Brian Kennedy. However, the defense continued to struggle in the second period and the team trailed 4-2. Robert Morris-White extended its lead quickly in the third period, going up by three goals. After the goal, the Golden Eagles used another third period comeback to get the deficit back within one. Two goals from senior assistant captain Tyler Schwichtenberg and sophomore Adam Benkovich made it 5-4 with eight minutes left in the third period. Despite the numerous shots on goal, Marquette could not find the equalizer. After giving up two empty net goals, the Golden Eagles fell 7-4.
Senior captain Matt Vuoncino said he thought the team played great, but the luck wasn’t on their side. “We dominated the game, and out-shot them 51-23, but we just didn’t get the bounces we needed,” Vuoncino said. “We made a couple costly mistakes that ended up really hurting us, but I can’t fault our team’s effort at all; the guys left it all out there.” For the seniors, not only was the season over but it was also the last competitive game of their Marquette careers. The realization is just starting to set in for Schwichtenberg. “It hit me when the buzzer sounded that this would be my last
game at Marquette,” Schwichtenberg said. “It hurts that it’s over but then again all good things come to an end. Time to start the next chapter of my life.” Vuoncino had a similar experience at the end of the game, but sees a “bright future” ahead for the program. “I’ve played hockey since I was 5 years old, it’s going to be weird without it,” Vuoncino said. “I wasn’t thinking about it much until that last buzzer rang, but since then it’s been slowly creeping in. But it’s reassuring to know that I am leaving behind such a strong legacy in this program through Coach Will and the underclassmen.”

Powerhouse Northwestern pulls away from Golden Eagles Freshman Hill leads MU with two goals as Wildcats pull away By Hank Greening
henry.greening@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s lacrosse team extended its losing streak to three Saturday, falling short to the No. 5 Northwestern Wildcats, 13-6. The Golden Eagles fought hard against their favored opponent, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Wildcats highflying offense. Freshman attack Riley Hill led the Golden Eagles in scoring with two goals and junior goalie Sarah Priem made six saves. Northwestern’s star freshman midfielder Selena Lasota had an outstanding performance, scoring six goals and scooping four ground balls in the game. The Golden Eagles were out-shot 26-11 and committed 25 turnovers to Northwestern’s 17. Despite the final score, the Golden Eagles held their own for the majority of the first half. Northwestern opened up a 4-1 lead just more than seven minutes into the first half, then scored again to go up 5-1 with 22:10 remaining. It was at that point Marquette coach Meredith Black took a timeout. “I just said, ‘Hey listen, we got this, believe,’” Black said. “I think we stuck to the game plan post-timeout and it really worked.” It worked perfectly. The Golden Eagles scored shortly after the stoppage on a rip from redshirt junior attack Emily Donovan and Marquette found a new energy on the defensive end of the field. Northwestern

didn’t score again for the rest of the half, thanks in part to multiple interceptions by Priem to stop Wildcat advances. The problem for Marquette was converting offensively during the Wildcat drought. The Golden Eagles only recorded three shots on net in the first half, even though they had multiple opportunities and a twominute man-up opportunity.
Despite the chances, Marquette trailed by three at the break. The three-goal deficit only grew from that point on, as it appeared Marquette awoke a sleeping giant. Northwestern scored five goals in less than six-and-a-half minutes to establish a 10-2 lead. The run was part of a 7-1 streak, which proved to be insurmountable for the Golden Eagles.
“I think they came out really, really strong,” Black said. “We weren’t able to recover. I think we shook it off eventually, but it was too little, too late.” Marquette scored three of the game’s last four goals, but by that point the game had been decided and the Golden Eagles fell 13-6. “We gotta be ready to come out of the second half fired
up,” Black said thinking ahead to next Saturday’s game. “We gotta play for 60 minutes, not 50, and we gotta go into every game with the same energy that we came into this game with.” Marquette faces off against Duquesne in Pittsburgh Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
Women’s basketball takes down Friars, loses to Creighton Marquette now 4-4 since losing first nine games of Big East play
By Andrew Goldstein
andrew.goldstein@marquette.edu
For the fourth weekend in a row, the Marquette Golden
Eagles (8-20, 4-13) achieved a split in the two games on their weekend docket. The team triumphed against the Providence Friars 72-64 Friday night and lost to the Creighton Bluejays 82-60 Sunday afternoon. Freshman guard Kenisha Bell turned in yet another admirable performance last weekend. She scored 14 points and brought
down 13 rebounds against the Friars en route to the first double-double of her collegiate career. Bell also logged 11 points against the Bluejays, posting double-digit point totals in 22 of her 27 collegiate games. In light of these efforts, Bell was named the Big East Freshman of the Week. Bell, however, was not the
only one who contributed to the Golden Eagles’ victory against Providence. In fact, four Marquette players recorded doubledigit point totals. Senior guard Arlesia Morse led the team with 15 points, Bell notched 14 and both senior Chelsie Butler and freshman Tia Elbert put together 11-point performances. Providence led Marquette 3228 at the break, but coach Carolyn Kieger’s squad ripped off a 9-0 run to take a 37-32 lead in the half’s opening minutes. Providence would not have another lead for the rest of the game. Tia Elbert’s 3-pointer with 6:54 left gave Marquette an 11-point advantage, its largest lead of the night. A jumper from Providence’s Alexis Harris cut that Marquette lead to a mere five points with 3:07 left to play, but Marquette hit seven of its next nine free throw attempts to put the game on ice. Harris led Providence in scoring with 20 points and also snared 10 rebounds. Tori Rule also poured in 19 points. The two players combined for more than half of the Friars’ points and just less than half of their shot attempts. Friday’s game against Providence marks the first time in two months the Golden Eagles have
recorded consecutive wins. However, Sunday’s trip to Omaha, Neb., against Creighton did not go nearly as well for Marquette. The Bluejays jumped out to a 47-30 lead at the end of the first half and continued to bury the Golden Eagles in the latter half. Creighton’s advantage ballooned to a gargantuan 29 points with 7:45 to go before Marquette cut it down to 22 by game’s end. Efficient shooting once again seemed to elude Marquette, as it often has throughout the year. No Marquette player shot better than 50 percent from the floor, and of the six players that attempted six or more shots, only Kenisha Bell (4-for-11) and Cristina Bigica (4-for-9) converted on more than a third of them. As a team, Marquette shot 31.7 percent from the floor. With these results, Marquette has all but locked itself into an eighth place finish in the 10team Big East. In order for the team to fall any further, they would have to lose their final game and either Georgetown or Providence would have to win their last two games. The Golden Eagles close out their season at DePaul Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.

Villanova spoils National Marquette Day Gutsy effort comes up short as Carlino and Anderson miss game By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
Despite playing just six scholarship members against No. 6 Villanova, the Marquette men’s basketball team showed some fight in an 87-76 loss to the Wildcats. Marquette (11-15, 3-11) entered the game with just six active scholarship players due to injuries to senior Juan Anderson and graduate student Matt Carlino. Carlino suffered a concussion Feb. 4 against Villanova in Philadelphia when he toppled over Ryan Arcidiacono after biting on a shot fake. Carlino returned to the game, but has missed every minute since the final buzzer that day. As for Anderson, he rolled his ankle in Thursday’s practice. The team listed him as questionable for the game, but he did not see a minute of action. With the injuries, the Golden Eagles added freshman Sandy Cohen III and sophomore Jajuan Johnson to the starting lineup and junior Steve Taylor Jr. was the only player coming of the bench. Fatigue wsa a major concern for the short staffed Golden Eagles. Marquette didn’t bring in Taylor, Jr. until seven minutes into the first half, when he replaced Johnson. Thirty-six seconds later, Johnson was back in the game, replacing sophomore Luke Fischer. Coach Steve Wojciechowski had to be creative with his floor rotations, but was quick to sub players in and out players as they tired. Fatigue started to set in at the last media timeout of the first half. Marquette kept the game relatively close throughout the majority of the half and never trailed by more than six. But at the five-minute mark, Villanova started a 12-0 run that built the Wildcats a 41-27 lead. The Golden Eagles chipped the lead down to nine points, but having just one sub was starting to affect the team. Villanova picked right back up where it left off in the first half, opening the second frame with an 11-3 run, thanks to three Arcidiacono 3-pointers in the first two minutes. With the 54-41 lead, the Wildcats had a solid lead and a chance to put away the Golden Eagles. However, the sixth-ranked Wildcats never managed to do so, as Marquette clawed its way back to put pressure on the Wildcats.

Derrick Wilson was the only senior on the court Saturday as Marquette was forced to compete with six players against the mighty Villanova Wildcats.
Coach Steve Wojciechowski said Arcidiacono is a major part of the Wildcats’ offense, and he showed it against the Golden Eagles. “Arcidiacono, he’s a heck of a player,” Wojciechowski said. “He just came in, boom boom, and they scored eight points in 80 seconds. He was a big key to that. But that’s what one of the best point guards in the country does. When a team needs him for a spark, he gives them a spark.” Twice in the second half, the

Wildcats were primed to get a 20-point lead and sink the Golden Eagles, but each time Marquette came back to make things interesting. With 13:03 left in the game, Villanova had its largest lead of the game at 17, but Marquette pulled within 10 with 10:21 remaining. At the 5:51 mark, the Wildcats led by 16, but the Golden Eagles got within 10 again with 2:11 left to play. A nine-point deficit at 1:28 was the closest the team would get. Wojciechowski said it was
good to see his team refuse to quit against the Wildcats. “I thought we fought,” Wojciechowski said. “I thought at different times in the second half where they had a chance to break the game open, our guys fought back.” Foul trouble started to cause problems for the Golden Eagles late in the second half. Cohen entered the half with three fouls, and Johnson added to the problem with three firsthalf fouls. Two quick fouls on Fischer to start the second half
also put the team in trouble. Cohen fouled out with 1:37 left in the game and Fischer fouled out with 29 seconds remaining. Taylor Jr. came in relief for Cohen, and then Michael Mache, a walk-on, entered the game for Fischer and earned one of the largest ovations of the game. Mache registered two offensive rebounds in the game. Marquette will try to get back in the win column with a tough road match against Butler Wednesday night. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.
