The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design is implementing major curriculum changes in the fall 2015 semester, but it will not have significant impact on Marquette students pursuing a minor in the fine arts areas that partner with MIAD. Jean Grow, director of Marquette’s fine arts program and associate professor in strategic communication, said there will be no changes made to the photography, fine arts or graphic design majors available to students. The only significant change that may happen in the coming years is the loss of the motion narrative minor since MIAD will be limiting its animation courses. Grow is collaborating with the provost of MIAD to ensure that the partnership between the schools remains strong. MIAD will be combining its existing drawing, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture programs to create an interdisciplinary major called New Studio Practice. Grow said this follows the national trend of arts education heading in a more interdisciplinary direction and should not come as a shock. “New Studio Practice aligns authentic fine arts education with the needs of contemporary student artists, culturally and creatively,” MIAD said in a statement. However, some MIAD students are concerned about how the changes will affect not only the rest of their education, but also their professional lives. Rhys Hansen, a sophomore photography major at MIAD, said the new program will make it easier for students to work between disciplines and share resources, but the loss of specificity in majors and increased focus on fine arts is not as

Lois Wakeman, a 1948 alumna, sits in Central Mall, part of the Alumni in the Classroom program.
Special to the Tribune
After years of teaching, Lois Wakeman couldn’t make herself leave the classroom. Wakeman, a former Milwaukee Public Schools teacher, attended Marquette just as the U.S. finished its war with the Axis nations in World War II. She remembers campus flooded with veterans returning home. For nearly every semester in the past decade however, Wakeman has returned to Marquette as a student. “Out of 21 semesters, I’ve
missed only three,” Wakeman said. “I would do anything to make it back to Marquette.” Wakeman is one of 23 students enrolled in the College of Arts & Sciences’s Alumni in the Classroom program, where college alumni who graduated in 1969 or earlier can audit select College of Arts & Sciences courses for free and without credit. Since the program’s creation by the College of Arts & Sciences alumni board in 2004, Wakeman has taken a number of courses and is one of the
most active participants. This semester, Wakeman is taking Tudor England taught by Carla Hay, an associate history professor. She said she discovered genealogical evidence that connects her family to the nobility of Tudor-era England. “(My husband and I) went to England in particular to do some root tracing and discovered a young cleric who was an Abbot, a member of my husband’s family,” Wakeman said. “(The cleric) became a bishop,
courtesy of Henry VIII, after his abbey was dissolved by Henry the Eighth in order to acquire their wealth. It makes the whole period come alive.” Over 300 alumni have participated in the program since 2006, and classes are offered depending on course and professor availability. After the logistics and scheduling are handled, alumni can attend one course

HEIR lab qualifies for RoboCup again Robotics team to head to China as only U.S. team in its league By Devi Shastri

The Marquette Humanoid Engineering and Intelligent Robotics Lab qualified for RoboCup 2015, becoming the only team from the U.S. to qualify in its league. Some students who engineered the humanoid robots will travel to Hefei, China to compete in the teen size league. The team will have the chance to work with the open-source community and improve its robots by working with engineers from around the world. “It’s a competition in that they play soccer against each other, but that’s really just a front,” said Adam Stroud, a senior in the College of Engineering. “It’s a research competition where people are talking about differPhoto by Devi Shastri/devi.shastri@marquette.edu ent ways to do robotics.

$1 million initiative to be implemented by summer MU, neighborhood stakeholders develop plan to address crime By Benjamin Lockwood
benjamin.lockwood@marquette.edu
Marquette and other key stakeholders in the neighborhood just west of campus are expected to implement a $1 million initiative early this summer called Promoting Assets and Reducing Crime. The initiative, announced last week and organized since last fall, aims to reduce crime in the area with a community prosecutor. “It’s important to share with people in the community that the neighborhood continues to move in the right direction,” said Keith Stanley, executive director of the Avenues West Association. “We’re making strides in development, entrepreneurship, infrastructure and this is just one right step among many.” Part of the initiative includes assigning an assistant district attorney and a full-time community prosecution coordinator to lead a community prosecution unit, which will be the first of its kind in Milwaukee. It will be tasked with reducing crime, preventing domestic violence and improving quality of life in the community. The unit will work daily with

The area-wide initiative attempts to improve crime with the installment of a community prosecutor, contributing to another goal of promoting local businesses, such as Ruby G’s Espresso Bar & Cafe on Wells Street.
the Milwaukee Police Department, key government agencies and community-based organizations, according to a press release issued by the Near West
Side Partners. The initiative was modeled after the nationally recognized and award-winning initiative in Washington Park, which
reduced crime in the northside neighborhood by 30 percent in 2013. The neighborhood was awarded a $600,000 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant, named after a 22-year old New York City police officer murdered while on duty in 1988. The difference between the Washington Park and Near West Side models is that the federal Department of Justice funded the Byrne Grant initiative. The Near West Side’s PARC initiative will be entirely funded by the area’s key stakeholders: Marquette, Aurora Health Care, Harley-Davidson Inc., MillerCoors LLC and Potawatomi Business Development Corp. “Milwaukee’s Near West Side has tremendous assets that rival any other part of the City,” University President Michael Lovell said in a statement. “To take our shared neighborhood to the next level, we must better leverage these assets and ensure that residents, employees, students and visitors feel safe. PARC will give us the tools to do that.” Marquette’s Center for Peacemaking will contribute to the PARC initiative by gathering data and research on health and safety in the neighborhood to guide planning. A fact sheet on the initiative provided by Marquette said that previous analysis found crime reduction to be an essential part of improving the neighborhood image and promoting growth. The efforts, which were lauded by Mayor Tom Barrett, also contribute to the overall goal of improving and attracting new business the in area.

Pita Brothers, the former food truck turned brick-andmortar restaurant, is done with construction and could be opening soon. The restaurant’s co-owner Vijay Swearingen said, optimistically, it could open as early as next week. Realistically, he said it could take longer, due to the
more complicated process of opening a restaurant versus a food truck. It will be located on the 1600 block of W. Wisconsin Avenue alongside Starbucks, Cousins Subs and Walgreens. “It’s a more intricate system than a food truck,” Swearingen said. “We’re trying new things, which always makes it

MIAD: Students with fine arts minors not to affected by curriculum shift
helpful to his future aspirations. “New Studio Practice doesn’t set students up as well for success as commercial photographers,” Hansen said. MIAD’s current and incoming freshmen will be the first students to enter into the program, allowing sophomores and juniors to graduate with the specific discipline majors they are working on. Hansen said the upperclassmen are still impacted by the changes. He said there will be fewer specific photography classes offered. All photography electives are eliminated starting in the fall, pushing students to take more general fine arts classes. The changes in classes offered could eventually affect Marquette students at MIAD, but only if classes are combined in new ways that would in new course titles. Students like Zan Zurowski, a senior in the College of Communication, are happy to hear that Marquette will continue to partner with MIAD despite any curriculum changes. She has a minor in studio art and appreciates her experience at MIAD, saying it compliments her advertising degree well. “Overall, I see a shift like this as a positive thing for MIAD, Marquette and the creative world in general,” Grow said.

Recent piracy incidents highlight larger illegal problems By Caroline Horswill
caroline.horswill@marquette.edu
We live in an age that embraces online video and music in both legal and illegal forms. In terms of an illegal context, piracy is a growing problem throughout the world. Multiple events occured recently regarding piracy, including the premiere of Game of Thrones. The combative measures being taken against piracy, as well as with the rising illegal streaming network, Popcorn Time. “Game of Thrones” is HBO’s most-watched series. Every year since the first season of “Game of Thrones”, the amount of viewers per premiere has risen. According to Variety, “Game of Thrones” had more than eight million viewers during the season five premiere, a 17 percent rise from last year’s premiere of 7 million. It is also the most pirated series on television. By definition, piracy is the unauthorized copying, distribution and selling of works in copyright. From the perspective of media companies and the entertainment industry, the uses of pirated streams and file-sharing sites are no different from shoplifting. The Saturday before the premiere of season five, the first four episodes were leaked in their entirety, which triggered a piracy frenzy. HBO said it understood there was the potential for piracy problems due to popularity and its channel being relatively inaccessible. As it has been working to combat the issue since the start of the show in 2011, HBO has created compelling options for consumers, making its show available on HBO Go and HBO Now. HBO Go is exclusively for HBO subscribers or cable customers who pay a premium each month and have HBO as a channel on their television, whereas HBO Now is a stand-alone service for consumers who do not have cable but want access to HBO programming. These services show HBO understands its viewers come from different demographics, specifically younger viewers who may not have the money to pay for HBO and would prefer to find it illegally online. Netflix is also faced with the issue of piracy and has been working to combat it. Netflix has been researching piracy levels overseas in order to determine what price it will charge a given country to stream television shows and movies. It may seem odd, but Netflix has
decided that countries with higher levels of piracy will have Netflix available at a cheaper price. Netflix views illegal downloads as primary competition, so it competes by presenting customers with an attractive price. Companies including Netflix, HBO and Hulu have taken notice of Popcorn Time’s presence and are working to get Popcorn Time out of the market. Popcorn Time is an application allowing users to access countless movies and TV shows for free. Since the beta release last year, the popularity of Popcorn Time has grown substantially. The system is similar to other legal streaming services in terms of content and style as it is easy to use and doesn’t have spam in the viewing process. It is particularly problematic to Hollywood because of the sheer ease with which users can access copyrighted materials. For university students and movie aficionados alike, Popcorn Time is the Netflix for pirated movies. In any scenario, it’s hard to compete with free, but HBO, Hulu, Netflix and other legal streaming companies are doing their best to provide relatively cheap alternatives for what they are producing. In a constantly changing market, it is necessary these companies remain on their toes in order to best combat piracy issues that will inevitably arise. Piracy does not have the ability to kill the entertainment industry, and that is clear with the percentage increase of “Game of Thrones” viewers. Students often make the excuse that they don’t have the money to watch their favorite shows and that is why they pirate content. But, if they can afford to pay for their favorite content, they should. Top 10 Pirated TV Shows of 2014 According to cinemablend.com

Craft beer documentary spotlights brewers’ efforts ‘Blood, Sweat and Beer’ highlights independent breweries By Jack Taylor
jack.taylor@marquette.edu
“Blood, Sweat and Beer,” a new documentary from filmmakers Chip Hiden and Alexis Irvin, premiered in Milwaukee Monday at the Brenner Brewing Company as part of Milwaukee Beer Week. The film is in the middle of a nationwide tour, screening at major city beer festivals like Seattle, Pittsburgh and Detroit. “Blood, Sweat and Beer” examines the journeys of two startup Northeastern brewing companies, following them through their determined preparations to make an impact in the world of craft beer. The Shorebilly Brewing Company operates out of Ocean City, Maryland. Danny Robinson, the brewery’s founder, is in the midst of a legal battle after being sued by another Ocean City clothing company with the Shorebilly name. With a potential name-change ordered by the court lingering, Robinson must plan a new direction for
his business and adjust to the financial troubles. We see the stress of managing a financial lawsuit, as well as the difficulties of balancing a relatively new craft beer brewery. Robinson’s case exemplifies the overwhelming nature of the craft brewery business, but his passion for the business drives his relentless efforts to brew beer for the public. Braddock, Pennsylvania, located in what is known as the Rust Belt, is a town that once thrived off the booming steel economy. Its steel mills brought with it high populations and a flourishing community. Since the collapse of the steel industry and the crack cocaine epidemic of the ‘70s and ‘80s, things have not been the same. To say the town is economically hurting is an understatement. Braddock is barely surviving on its population of just more than 2,000 people. Even most of Braddock’s bars and liquor stores have gone out of business. The 2010 U.S. Census cited 38 percent of Braddock’s buildings as abandoned. Asa Foster and Matt Katase, both 23, decided a few years ago the community needed something new. The two decided to create their own business, The Brew Gentlemen Beer Company.

Filmmakers Chip Hiden and Alexis Irvin portray craft breweries in a new light.
Foster said people needed somewhere to go, so he and Katase hoped that a brewery could spark life into the town. Two young adults, still running off a ramen noodle diet, work together to create investment plans, maintain a brewing process, and with the help of a former AnheuseurBusch employee, look to inspire
other entrepreneurs to help restore Braddock to the thriving community it used to be. The film also interviews craft brewers from all over the world. One of the main topics discussed is the industry’s trends over the past few years. The beer industry as a whole is decreasing its sales, yet the craft beer industry seems
to be improving each year. These interviews in the film tell us how truly impactful the craft breweries are to the beer industry in general. Brewers even go as far to describing the current time period as craft beer’s “golden age.” “Blood, Sweat and Beer” captures the quintessential American work model. Ambition and passion are two vital elements of creating a business in America and the craft beer industry requires a high level of both. When the brewers are put to the test, they are forced to, as Danny says, pour their “blood, sweat and tears” into their companies. Whether it’s overcoming competition from the big breweries, or simply a lack of receiving the public’s attention, craft brewers from all over the world are facing some of the toughest tests for entrepreneurs. Hiden and Irvin capture this idea and show the audience firsthand what goes on behind the brews. “Blood, Sweat and Beer” is currently available for digital and physical pre-orders at bloodsweatbeermovie.vhx.tv. The film is expected to be released in fall 2015. Hiden and Irvin offer a promo code to Marquette students for the digital download: Promo Code (20 percent off the digital download): beerme

Alumni program expands and enhances college years When I went here, Al McGuire was a coach, not a center.

Our view: Arts & Sciences’ Alumni in the Classroom program gives alums a chance to go back to school, an opportunity that should expanded across the university. Though undergraduates tend to move on from the university in their early 20s, they still have a place at Marquette to come back to in the future. Participants in the College of Arts & Sciences Alumni in the Classroom program take advantage of this by choosing to audit a variety of classes. Graduates from Arts & Sciences in 1969 or earlier have the opportunity to pick from select classes left open after current students enroll. Created in 2004, the program allows alumni to come back to the university as students at a very different stage in their lives. Older alumni bring a different perspective and history into the classroom and can be an asset to a class’s overall experience. Current students can learn from former students who have seen it all and there can be a mutual sharing of insights on Marquette’s present. The university, as well as alumni and present students, benefits from keeping alumni involved long after graduation. Bringing alumni into the classroom has notable positives. Alumni can enrich the learning process while filling space in classes that could benefit from more participants. Instructors do not bear an additional burden as they do not have to grade any extra papers or exams. The program, however, is solely run by the College of Arts & Sciences Alumni Board, with offerings only in the humanities and social sciences. Only alumni who graduated from the college may take these courses while alumni from other colleges are not given the opportunity to return to campus in such a capacity. Based on Arts & Sciences’ successful example, other colleges could explore the possibility of setting up their own alumni in the classroom program as a continuous effort to maintain contact
between alumni and the university while enhancing the class experience for all. The College of Business Administration and the College of Communication maintain relationships with alumni through alumni-student mentorship programs and inviting successful individuals to speak to hopeful students. These initiatives are on the whole productive, yet there remains a distance and a contrast with the Arts & Sciences’ classroom initiatives. More could be done to integrate alumni into the learning process. Alumni programs in other colleges could also allow alumni to take courses in areas outside their original college. Arts & Sciences alums could try their hand at a business class while former accounting students could explore history, bringing their own particular experience to different settings and students. Classes for more popular majors might be limited due to current student demand, but there would feasibly be a couple open courses across the colleges. Likewise, alumni probably would not be able to take classes requiring prerequisites. Even so, colleges could explore their options while being mindful of these limitations and pursuing what is best for their students. If such programs are not possible, and for alumni who do not meet the set graduation year requirement, there are still more ways to bring alumni into the classroom as discussants, formal speakers and advisers on class projects. Students and alumni stand to benefit from this integration of those with more experience and those who are just starting to figure things out. Learning is truly a continuous process and the Alumni in the Classroom program is a practical demonstration of how Marquette offers various opportunities. More chances remain and the university should explore how to capitalize on these to the community’s greater benefit.

New discoveries from getting lost in Milwaukee Matt Gozun
Columnist
About a week ago I found myself at Miller Park alone and without a means to get home. The story behind how I exactly got there would probably take too much space in this column, but all you need to know is I had taken the bus there but lost my bus pass by the time I needed to get back to campus. Now, I enjoy walking, whether it is on a mountain trail or through city streets, and with the good weather we’ve had recently, I thought I would turn a stroke of bad luck into a positive experience. Though I know I will hate myself when I eventually fork over $25 for a new bus pass, I will admit that at the time, walking through those city blocks was a positive experience in and of itself. One of the things I realized during my walk is how the perception of distance can differ so much from reality. Miller Park is only about 3.5 miles away from campus, and yet I have always felt a car was necessary to get there. Even on a nice day, the thought of walking to that part of town never crossed my mind, even though, back home, I would regularly jog similar distances. The route from Miller Park takes you through a part of the city where Marquette students normally do not venture. Head a few miles east of campus and there is a good chance that you will bump into a classmate taking a run to the lake or studying at a downtown coffee shop. Travel the same distance west, however, and you could swear Marquette is located in a completely different city. I judged my distance away from campus based on the number of gold sweatshirts and North Face-wearing pedestrians I encountered, a number that for the vast majority of my walk hovered at zero
until around 22nd Street. I came to Milwaukee for college to leave the roughly 30 by 20 mile island I’ve spent most of my life on and go somewhere I could travel without needing to go through airport security. Ironically, since college I have restricted about 90 percent of my waking moments to just Marquette’s campus, a statistic I have come to regret as a senior. I learned quickly my freshman year to set up the boundaries as to where I should and should not go in Milwaukee; boundaries that essentially covered the city map with “Here be dragons” from north to south. The reasons why students do not venture too far from the safety of the LIMO routes are rational, albeit unfortunate in their application. Of course 16th and National is dangerous at 3 a.m., just like anywhere else in the city at that time, but it is curious to see adult college students afraid to walk the same streets young Milwaukee children use to get to school. This past weekend, during Hunger CleanUp, I was once again reminded places and people exist outside of those I normally interact with. One of Hunger Clean-Up’s slogans is “We Are Marquette, We Are Milwaukee,” and yet, during my four years here, I have struggled to identify equally with both halves of that phrase. Yes, Marquette is Milwaukee, but Milwaukee is also so much more than just Marquette. And this is something I wish I had realized much, much sooner. With the weather looking bad on only some days of the week, it might be time to get lost more often. After all, it’s not everyday that you can say you found something new in your backyard.

Cox speech spoke on difference and social inclusion Sarah Patel
Columnist “Justice is love in public.” This line is from actress Laverne Cox’ talk on campus last Thursday, and it really set the tone for her speech, which focused on social inclusion. While Cox addressed her struggles as a transgender African-American woman, she spoke on many topics related to justice issues, which made her speech more relatable to Marquette students and people from all walks of life. Her meaning behind the quote “justice being love in public” alludes to how seeking justice for marginalized communities means showing love through acts of acceptance and care. Cox spoke about how justice can be demonstrated for the transgender community in small ways, like having gender-neutral bathrooms. Such small gestures may seem remote, but they can lead to larger, more inclusive change. Relating this point to our own campus and considering the possible changes that could follow the results of February’s climate survey, small changes are really what make a difference and lead to larger change. Cox, who portrays transgender Sophia Burset on the hugely successful Netflix show “Orange is the New Black,” surprisingly spoke very little about her success on the show. Her main focus was truly being a voice and role model for those struggling with their differences, however they are presented. Her success as a transgender AfricanAmerican woman is inspiring for many who share some of her experiences with gender and even those who do not. Her emphasis on her struggles more than her successes really humanized her and put the audience at ease. It seemed evident that Cox’ struggles contributed to her

later and continued success. Most people can relate to some of her struggles, as we all deal with being different in some way. Embracing one’s differences is something our society both teaches and suppresses. Individuality is celebrated until it makes people uncomfortable or until stereotypes get in the way. Society has an unrealistic concept of normalcy; if someone deviates from that expectation, problems may arise. For example, Cox recalled how she was plagued with homophobic slurs when
she was younger despite not identifying as gay. Society sometimes uses stereotypes to label individuals, even if they are superficial and inaccurate. Cox discussed her experiences with humor, but she also mentioned how individuals often hide behind humor when discussing painful topics. This was a main takeaway for me because this is something many do not understand. People often interpret humor with not caring or failing to accept reality, rather than the opposite
of coping and accepting. I know I use humor to make others feel more comfortable with my situation when my differences can get in the way. Laverne Cox was both powerful and relatable, presenting her story through humor and showing how difference can be a struggle as well as a strength.

Partnering up for the trail makes the run bearable Elena Fransen
Columnist The Fransen sisters are not naturalborn runners. We try our best but that definitely does not mean we excel at running or even like it. Unfortunately, running has been a reality of playing sports and staying fit. It has not always been fun, particularly with habitually bad knees and those summer mornings when our dad “encouraged” us to sprint hills at the park down the street, yet we’ve survived. With our history of disdain for running in mind, it was a surprise to us both when I asked my sister, Maggie, to run a half-marathon with me. The basis for my decision was that I was getting bored working out with no real goal in sight. Luckily, she was game and we set a date in June, giving us months to start training and convince ourselves we could like and be good at running. Things have not exactly worked out as planned. As we started to increase our mileage we both hit some speed bumps. My hip started acting up, making runs a little more painful and giving me an obvious limp. During one of her runs, Maggie fell a mile short of her goal, bloodying both of her knees. Now those injuries may have been signs for us to throw in the towel, yet we have kept going. I kept running longer than I probably should have before seeking help to get my hip back in working order. Even with her fall at mile six, Maggie kept going to finish her seven-mile run. We don’t give up easily, partly
because we are really competitive and also considering we are doing this together. I pushed through the pain because I didn’t want her to beat me come race day and I didn’t want to disappoint her by not sticking with our plan. Working toward this common goal has made running more enjoyable as it reminds me that even though we are not running together, we are both doing this for ourselves and because of each other. Incredibly sappy, I know, but training has sort of reaffirmed whar I have with my sister and also the strength that you can find when you don’t quit. In the context of running and life in general, it helps having someone striving for a purpose alongside you. Sure, you might not be striving at the same time, or like to talk to each other while you do it, but knowing someone else is there is a comfort when the going gets tough. Even though there’s some distance with her in Minneapolis, our half-marathon training could be the most committed and stable partnership I have ever had. We share our successes, push each other to be better and hold each other accountable. It is a pretty solid bond and I don’t think I could be convinced to run 13.1 miles with anyone else. Through thick and thin, my sister has been there and I cannot wait for us to struggle through those miles together. Although she better watch out. Come June 6, she could be eating my dust. But maybe she can catch me the next time.

Junior Conor Gately and the Golden Eagles will need a quick recovery after a tough loss against Duke when the team takes on top-five Denver Saturday afternoon in a pivotal contest.
Duke uses five-goal spree in first quarter to pull away from MU By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
The No. 16/17 Marquette men’s lacrosse team has had a historic season, entering the national conversation. The team has come a long way, but still has a bit to go before defeating the best of the best. The Golden Eagles weren’t able to
play spoiler this weekend, losing 15-8 to No. 6/6 Duke. The Blue Devils scored two goals early, but Marquette tied things back up with goals from junior attackman Conor Gately and redshirt junior midfielder Kyle Whitlow. Duke pulled away in the second half of the first quarter when the Blue Devils went on a five-goal run. “We knew they were going to make a run,” coach Joe Amplo said. “Unfortunately it came in the middle of the first quarter. They’re a good team. They make plays. They’re poised. They’re confident. We couldn’t manage that run
long enough to keep it close.” Marquette struggled shutting down Duke’s top scorers. Justin Guterding, Myles Jones and Tanner Scott each had three goals. Case Matheis, Deemer Class and Kyle Keenan each had two. Gately and sophomore midfielder Ryan McNamara were the only Golden Eagles with more than one goal, each scoring two. Sophomore goalie Jimmy Danaher made 14 saves in the loss. When it came to scoring opportunities, Marquette was not blown out of the water. The Golden Eagles had only three shots less than Duke, but weren’t able to

capitalize with the efficiency their top-10 ranked opponent did. “(The Blue Devils) did what they wanted to do,” Amplo said. “We couldn’t defend them. We couldn’t play one-on-one defense early. Transition they beat us. Our midfield did not do a great job playing transition defense. At time it was easy for (Duke).” “Offensively on our part, we probably could have finished a lot more opportunities than we did,” junior midfielder Blaine Fleming said. “I know I missed a few. A bunch of our starters missed here and there. If we had landed a few more, it would have been a

different game.” “We just didn’t can our shots,” McNamara said. “We got all these opportunities, we’ve got to start executing our shots. A lot of little mistakes is a difference between being a top ten team and a 15th ranked team.” Following Duke’s early run, the Golden Eagles did manage to hang with Duke the rest of the way. The two teams had the same amount of goals in both the second and third quarters, but Duke extended its lead further in the final minutes. The closest Marquette came in the second half was a four-goal deficit early in the fourth quarter, but Duke responded with the final three goals of the afternoon. It was a lively atmosphere at Hart Park, filled with cheering fans and youth lacrosse players from the surrounding area. The 4,575 fans in attendance were a record for Marquette. The Golden Eagles donned green uniforms and shooting strings in honor of the HEADStrong Foundation, founded by Nick Colleluori, who played for Amplo and Duke coach John Danowski at Hofstra. The foundation raises funds for cancer research and treatment. “At the end of the day, the best part of this day for both teams is the fact that we raised a lot of awareness for a great cause,” Amplo said. “That’s really what matters most.” “It was amazing,” McNamara said. “All the new gear, all the fans, it was so much fun to play with. Too bad we just couldn’t come up with a win.” Marquette will play its final game of the regular season Saturday when it hosts No. 5/5 Denver. The game will be aired live on CBS Sports Network.

Officials should not dictate the outcome of postseason contests Jacob Born
Columnist There are two common themes when it comes to playoffs, no matter what the sport is. The first is it’s the best time of the year for that sport. The second is officials swallow their whistles. Every sports fan knows this, despite what the leagues try to say. Tim Peel, an NHL referee, even admitted to this and was banned from the NHL playoffs, a topic I covered a week ago. Officials want the players to decide it on the field, ice, or court and want to have as little effect on the game as possible. This year, fans are now seeing leagues change officials’s calls in order to have as little effect on the playoff series as possible. This has been most apparent in the NHL’s first round matchup between the Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames. With just 1:17 remaining in Calgary’s 4-1 victory, Calgary’s Deryk Engelland racked up 2 major penalties, both for fighting, three game misconducts and an instigator. In the playoffs, a player with multiple game misconducts is subject to a suspension, but because all of these game misconducts were different categories of misconducts, he could play in Game 3. But Engelland could still be suspended for Game 3 due to the NHL’s instigator rules. Rule 46.11 of the NHL Rulebook defines an instigator as any player who initiates the fight, who
has verbal or physical threats to any player, who attempts retribution for a previous fight or altercation in a game or season. Any player who fights within the last five minutes of a game shall receive a game misconduct and is subject to a suspension. Rule 46.22 of the NHL Rulebook states a player should be suspended, unless the fight was not related to the score, any previous incident or is “message sending.” With this criteria, the NHL rescinded Engelland’s instigator penalty, making him available for Game 3 Sunday night. But in Game 3, Alex Burrows of the Canucks was given the same penalty for a fight with Kris Russell of the Calgary Flames. Burrows hit Flame rookie Johnny Goudreau from behind and then fought Russell, who retaliated. Burrows received a boarding minor, a fighting major, an instigator and a game misconduct. Russell only received a fighting major. Monday it was announced Burrows’ instigator was rescinded, meaning no suspension. Twice in a single series, the NHL decided to change an official’s call so that a player who would not be playing could play. This is not an isolated incident in the NHL, though. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook was assessed his 16th technical foul of the season against the Indiana Pacers April 12. Westbrook was called for a tech after arguing with an official about a foul and his tech would have forced him to sit out against the Trail Blazers in an big game for the Thunder to make the playoffs. The technical was rescinded,
the 36th rescinded technical of the season, and NBA President of Basketball Operations Rob Thorn said rescinding the call had nothing to do with the Thunder being 8th in the Western conference and fighting for a playoff spot. Regardless of what Thorn says, the NBA is a much better league with Westbrook playing than without, especially when it could have decided the playoff picture (Westbrook scored 36 points in a 101-90 win against the Trail Blazers). In the NHL, Engelland and Burrows are fourth-liners who are not superstars in the league. But the problem is the same – league management is
changing calls after the fact to keep players playing. In both of these cases, the problem is that automatic suspensions via fouls needed to be rescinded. Rather than remove a penalty an official calls, make each foul or penalty subject to supplemental discipline. Change the wording of the rules to say rather than a 16th technical foul or instigator penalty carrying an automatic suspension, these calls be subject to suspension by the league’s department of player safety. These slight changes do not take the whistle out of the officials’ mouths, but rather give the league an extra layer of discipline should
the league see fit. These type of calls carry such implications very infrequently, but it gives leagues a better chance to refine its rules to make them better for everyone. Rather than supersede its officials, the NHL and NBA needs to change their rules in order to better reflect what it wishes from its players and officials. It’s only a slight difference, but doesn’t punish referees for making the tough calls in the leagues’ biggest games. Jacob Born is from Saint Louis, MO studying journalism with a minor in marketing.

Golf places eighth in Iowa Golden Eagles finish regular season with inconsistent outing By Sterling Silver
sterling.silver@marquette.edu
Marquette men’s golf closed out the regular season with an eighth-place finish at the Hawkeye Invitational. Iowa State finished five strokes ahead of Idaho to win the tournament. Senior Brandon Cloete paced the Golden Eagles with a three-round score of 3-over par. As a team, Marquette finished at 16-over par and ended the tournament with four of the top 38 golfers in the 65-player field. Junior Pat Sanchez was disappointed in the team’s performance. “I was definitely not satisfied because we know we have the ability of beating more teams,” Sanchez said. “However, every one of our players showed good play in at least one of the rounds, so we have to work on consistency.” Friday morning’s first round put the Golden Eagles in eighth place. Sanchez opened the
tournament with a 2-under par. He was one of only 17 golfers to have a round below par in the opening round. The rest of the team shot between 2-over par and 5-over par. Saturday’s second round was the team’s best of the weekend, shooting even par on the afternoon. Sanchez, junior Nick Nelson and freshman Trevor Thomas all shot at or below par, led by Thomas’ 2-under par. The team’s round was the fifth-best of the day, bumping Marquette up in the standings to seventh place. Sunday’s final round was the team’s poorest of the tournament, scoring 9-over par. While Cloete had his best round of the weekend at 2-under par, the rest of the team could not capitalize. Scores of 6-over par from Sanchez and Thomas left the Golden Eagles in eighth place to end the weekend. Last season, the team finished in fifth place at the Hawkeye Invitational. However, the return trip led to lower scores for Marquette. Despite finishing in eighth place, the Golden Eagles shot 12 strokes better than their previous trip to Iowa City. Even though the team was unable to win a tournament,
redshirt junior CJ Swift believes the improvement over the course of the season was most important. “I would grade our team’s performance over the regular season as continued improvement,” Swift said. “We have had strong finishes this year (three top 3’s in tournaments) which we will build off of. But the golf program has come a long way since my freshman year that can be attributed to coach (Steve) Bailey and assistant coach Mike (Bielawski).” Up next for Marquette is the Big East Tournament in Callawasie Island Golf Course in Callawasie, South Carolina. The Golden Eagles finished in second place behind St. Johns in last year’s tournament. Cloete saw the team’s finish in the Hawkeye Invitational as the edge needed for the Big East Tournament. “I think we really battled and fought hard for all our placings this season, but what we have lacked is that day where everyone comes together and plays well,” Cloete explained. “We know when that happens, it’s going to be something special, and there’s no better place than (the) Big East (Tournament) to do it.”

Goodrich breaks more MU records Track puts up great effort in multiple meets in California By Andrew Goldstein
andrew.goldstein@marquette.edu
It was an eventful trip to the West Coast for Marquette’s track and field teams this past weekend. Over the course of 72 hours – from Friday, April 16 to Sunday, April 18 – Marquette sent competitors to four separate events throughout the state of California. Cassy Goodrich submitted another standout performance Sunday at the Beach Invitational in Norwalk, California. She ran a 24.36-second 200-meter dash on Saturday, which broke Karen Goodwin’s 18-year-old university record. Just a day earlier, Goodrich also recorded a time of 54.84 seconds in the 400-meter run at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California, which set the Marquette freshman record and made her only the second Marquette woman to break 55 seconds. As if she hadn’t already done enough, Goodrich went on to play a key role in helping the 4x400 relay team capture victory at the Beach Invitational for the second year in a row. The team posted an impressive 3:44.98 time to take home the gold, due in no small part to Goodrich and Anna Strong’s runs. Goodrich ran a 53.9 second split, while sophomore Anna Strong edged her out with a slightly faster 53.6-second time in her own leg of the relay. “The sprint ladies excelled especially,” coach Bert Rogers told GoMarquette.com.
“Both Cassy’s and Anna’s splits were really fast — fastest I’ve ever coached.” There were also some intriguing performances by long-distance runners this past weekend. Junior Kellie Greenwood ran the 5,000-meter event at the Mt. SAC Relays Friday and achieved a time of 16:34.07, which was good enough to set the school record in the event. Brittney Feivor also ran an impressive 10,000-meter event with a time of 34:58.41. That clocks in as the third-fastest 10,000 time in Marquette history as well as the fastest time in the Big East this season. This makes the third consecutive meet where Feivor set a personal record in a distance event. Some notable results on the men’s side include Alec Miller’s 3:48.35 time in the 1,500-meter run at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, California, which is the sixth-fastest 1,500 time in Marquette history. Blake Lawson submitted a personal best in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:14.17. And finally, freshman Joshua Word gutted out a personal best time of 11.22 seconds. “It was an awesome weekend out here in California,” Rogers told GoMarquette.com. “We had a lot of great performances. We always expect that we’re going to come out here and have solid performances, and this year was no exception.” The teams will return home to familiar Midwestern ground next weekend as they send competitors to both the Benedictine Twilight in Lisle, Illinois, and the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. The Benedictine Twilight will be Friday while the Drake Relays will be a twoday affair that encompasses Friday and Saturday.

Tennis finishes season strong Lacrosse’s rally falls short once again Men sweep weekend, women beat Seton Hall on Senior Day By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette men’s and women’s tennis teams each finished the regular season on a high note, as each team won its final game of the regular season. The men notched a pair of 6-1 wins against Wright State Friday and DePaul Sunday on Senior Day, while the women’s team lost to DePaul 6-1 Friday before beating Seton Hall 6-1 Sunday for its Senior Day celebration. The women’s team opened up the final weekend against DePaul, the best team in the Big East and ranked No. 37 in the nation. Marquette’s only win came in the No. 2 spot, as junior Erin Gebes defeated her opponent 2-6, 6-4, 1-0. DePaul opened the match by sweeping the doubles round and then closed out the match by winning three straight spots after Gebes opened singles play with her win. Senior Ana Pimienta lost at No. 1 2-6, 1-6, senior Ali Dawson lost 2-6, 0-6 at No. 4 and No. 3 sophomore Diana Tokar lost 1-6, 4-6 to clinch the victory for DePaul. The men’s team kickstarted the winning streak with its dominating 6-1 victory against Wright State. Marquette opened
up doubles play with a win at No. 3 by Andre Romanello/ Kristiyan Trukov 6-1, but couldn’t get the doubles point as the Golden Eagles lost at No. 1 6-3 and No. 2 6-4. It would be the only point of the day. Marquette swept singles play against the Raiders, giving them the victory for the day. The Golden Eagles started the streak with senior Vukasin Teofanovic winning the No. 2 spot 6-1, 6-3. Following him was senior Cameron Tehrani’s 6-1, 6-2 win at No. 6 and sophomore Mackenzie Stearns with the 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 5. Trukov clinched the victory with a 6-2, 6-4 win at the No. 4 spot. Junior Daniel Fernandez saw resistance from the Raiders, as he lost his first set before battling back and winning the point 2-6, 6-2, 7-5, and sophomore Nick Dykema needed three sets to complete the sweep as he won the No. 3 spot 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. The women’s team celebrated Senior Day Sunday and capped off the day with a 6-1 win, snapping a three-game losing streak. The Golden Eagles won six straight points and were primed for the sweep, but the Pirates stopped the attempt with a win at No. 6. Marquette opened the match with a convincing win in doubles play. Pimienta/Gebes won the No. 1 spot 8-4 and Dawson/ Aleeza Kanner won No. 2 8-1. The women’s team then went on to win its next five singles matches. Tokar kicked off the run with a 6-1, 6-3 win at No. 3, followed by Dawson’s 6-1,
6-1 win at No. 4. Pimienta clinched the victory for her and the rest of the seniors with her 6-1, 6-3 win at the No. 1 spot. Marquette’s bid for the sweep continued with freshman Paula Tormos Sanchez’s 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 5 and the No. 2 win of 6-3, 6-2 by Gebes. The only Golden Eagle to lose was senior Vanessa Foltinger, who fell 2-6, 6-4, 1-0 at No. 6. The men’s team completed the combined winning streak with its Senior Day festivities, as the team defeated DePaul 6-1 in decisive fashion. The Golden Eagles started doubles play with a win at No. 1 by Teofanovic/Dykema, who won 8-4. Stearns/Fernandez sealed the point with their thrilling 8-7 victory. Marquette started singles play with Fernanadez winning No. 1 6-1, 6-3 and Tehrani winning No. 6 6-2, 6-4. Teofanovic, another senior, clinched the victory with his 6-3, 6-4 win at No. 2. After clinching, Trukov continued Marquette’s dominance with a 7-6, 6-3 win at No. 4 before Dykema fell at No. 3 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. Closing out the regular season was Stearns, who won his tightly contested match 7-6, 7-6. Both the men and women’s teams built momentum heading into the Big East Championships in Indianapolis, with the men’s team ranked No. 2 and women’s team ranked No. 4. The men open up against No. 7 Creighton Friday, while the women face No. 5 Georgetown Friday as well.

Golden Eagles fail to dig out of early hole in final home game By Hank Greening
henry.greening@marquette.edu
The Marquette women’s lacrosse team looked to send its seniors off with one final home victory Saturday, but despite a strong second half rally, the Golden Eagles lost to Georgetown 8-7. Marquette (4-12, 0-6) trailed 8-3 with 22:03 remaining in the second half and appeared to have all but lost the game. However, three goals in 2:51, including two in 46 seconds, gave the home team new life. With 13:06 left and trailing 8-6, the Golden Eagles only managed to score once more, falling a single goal short of an extra period. “I’m so proud of the team,” Marquette coach Meredith Black told GoMarquette.com. “We’re fighters. This team is committed to getting better every day, even though our record hasn’t gone our way, and I think it’s paying off. It’s super disappointing to come out with the loss, but I really feel as though we’re moving in the right direction.” Redshirt junior Emily Donovan made the most of her final home appearance, scoring two goals in 46 seconds to bring her team within two, and also added an assist. Junior midfielder Hayley Baas also contributed two goals and senior attack Nicole Gleason made her presence felt with a goal and an assist. Georgetown (6-9, 5-1) relied on three of its top four scorers as midfielder Kristen Bandos and attacks Corinne Etchison and Caroline Tarzian all had two goals on the day. In net, Golden Eagles goalie Sarah Priem made 11 saves on 19 shots faced in perhaps her best game of the season. Black reiterated the importance of shot accuracy and draw controls after her team’s loss at Vanderbilt, and clearly it made a difference. All 14 of the Golden Eagles’ shots were on target and despite losing the faceoff battle 6-3 in the first
half, they tied the Hoyas in the category 4-4 in the second. Marquette fell into an early hole, as the Hoyas scored on four of their first five shots of the game. But a Georgetown turnover forced by Claire Costanza, followed by a timeout from Black turned the tide with 14:49 remaining in the half. Senior Nicole Gleason and freshman Riley Hill each scored in two minutes, cutting the Hoya lead in half with 12:18 to go. Marquette and Georgetown traded goals before the halftime whistle blew and the Golden Eagles trailed 5-3 at the break. Priem made six saves on 11 shots faced and although Marquette trailed 6-3 in draw controls, it won the turnover and ground ball battles in the opening 20 minutes. The second half began just as the first half, as the Hoyas scored on three of their first four shots in the half, opening an 8-3 advantage with 22 minutes to play. The game was a standstill offensively for the next eight minutes, marred by turnover by both teams, but a Baas rip at the 15:57 mark gave the Golden Eagles much-needed momentum. Marquette would score twice more in the next 2:05 and the Golden Eagles were in business with 13:06 to go. Baas scored again with 5:45 left, but Marquette never managed to find the game-tying goal, despite a free position shot attempt, which was stopped. The Golden Eagles never got another chance and the Hoyas escaped, 8-7. For eight Golden Eagles, including starters Gleason and Jenaye Coleman, it was their final game in the home Marquette uniforms. Gleason is the team’s second-leading scorer with 19 goals on the year and Coleman has 16 caused turnovers for the 2015 campaign. “(Our seniors) are amazing,” Black told GoMarquette.com. “All eight of them have made such a huge impact on this program. They have been here since day one and have set the tone for what this team is all about. They help us strive for a tradition of excellence that we work for every single day.” With a Big East tournament bid unlikely, Marquette will close out the season in Cincinnati at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Anim ready to prove himself Minnesota guard anxious to join Class of 2015 on the floor By Hank Greening
henry.greening@marquette.edu
Sacar Anim is not new to success. The 6-foot-5, 190 pound shooting guard from Minneapolis won four consecutive Class 3A state titles with DeLaSalle and was named Minnesota’s Associated Press Player of the Year. Anim averaged 24 points this season and showed up when it mattered most, scoring 32 in the championship game. The team he is coming to, however is in a state of rebuild. Marquette missed postseason action in back-to-back years for the first time in a decade and with a season marred by inconsistency, the Golden Eagles desperately need to get back on track. Anim signed his National Letter of Intent to Marquette last Wednesday, as did Traci Carter, a four-star recruit out of Philadelphia. Together, the two joined one of the best recruiting classes in the country. “I think our recruiting class is by far one of the best in the country. We have players at every position,” Anim said via email. “Henry (Ellenson) is a top-5 player in the country. Haanif (Cheatham) is a great combo guard with some length, Traci (Carter) is one of the best point guards in the country, and
Matt (Heldt) is a great addition who gives us some size and can stretch the floor.” Anim, a four-star recruit according to ESPN.com, said the deciding factor for him was the coaching staff. “The decisive factor for me coming to Marquette was Coach Wojo and Coach Phelps,” Anim said. “They have believed in me from the start and showed they really cared about me as a player and a person. Also, while I was on my visit I felt like I was at home.” Anim continued on about Wo j c i e c h o w s ki’s style as a coach, another huge factor in choosing Marquette. “Coach Wojo will be one of the best coaches in the country,” Anim said. “I love his
energy and how he gets the most out his players. Nothing is guaranteed. I have to go out and prove that I belong on the floor just like the four other freshmen do.” Anim described his strengths as, “having a constant motor, being able to get to the rim as well as gettting out in transition and getting easy buckets,” which was lacking from Marquette’s offense last season. Anim’s large frame will also bring size that was lacking in the 2014-15 campaign. However, Anim knows he still has areas where he can improve. “Just keep Sacar Anim improving my range from high school to college 3-point line, defense and getting stronger.”
I think our recruiting class is by far one of the best in the country. We have players at every position.”

Anim won four straight state titles and was rated as a four-star prospect.
