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.

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-
