Cristo Rey school to join Choice program By Julia Pagliarulo
julia.pagliarulo@marquette.edu
Milwaukee area’s new Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, which Marquette helped set up and will open this fall, confirmed it will be a voucher school through the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. The program allows families with income three times the federal poverty level or below to apply for admittance. Admitted families can then enroll their children in the private school of their choice. The school is expected to attract much of the Hispanic population in the area, which is a suburb of south side Milwaukee. Andrew Stith, the new school’s president, said many Cristo Rey students are likely to participate in the program. “Cristo Rey high schools across the country seek to educate those young people who desire a Catholic and Jesuit college prep education but can’t afford or access it,” Stith said in an email. A student can be charged a tuition amount determined by the private school if their family’s income exceeds 220 percent of the federal poverty level. “The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program empowers students from low-income families with the ability to choose where they would like to attend school, just as families with higher incomes choose,” Stith said. “Financial resources from the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program enable many Catholic schools to continue Catholic education’s long-time commitment to educating young people from Milwaukee’s center city.” Without Marquette and the Milwaukee community, Cristo Rey may never have been approved. Stith is a Marquette alumnus and William Henk, dean of the College of Education, was a co-principal investigator on the feasibility study that found the school’s creation plausible. “Marquette’s advocacy was essential to the approval of the school,” Henk said. “Marquette has See Choice, Page 7 INDEX

Sexual assault victim shares story Experiences shed light on university-led reviews of incidents By Rob Gebelhoff, McKenna Oxenden and Patrick Thomas Last fall, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences went to the Department of Public Safety with two of her friends to report harassing Facebook messages of a sexual nature. It was only after DPS officers asked what the messages were referring to that she first reported being sexually assaulted as a freshman in her dorm room, about a year and a half after the incident occurred. The junior, who has decided not to press any charges against her perpetrator, was not able to give her or her perpetrator’s name because of an agreement she made with the perpetrator through a university stay away directive.

4 students arrested in campus protests
Four Marquette students were arrested Monday after their organized march surrounded the intersection of 16th Street and Wisconsin Avenue,
drawing a large crowd of students, faculty, Department of Public Safety and Milwaukee Police Department officers. The Solidarity March, originally devised by the ad hoc Coalition of and for Students of Color, or Coalition SOC, addressed ongoing concerns about Marquette’s handling of a number of controversial issues, and requested divestment in repressive companies, a redesigned Marquette seal and ensuring transparency in DPS’s
transition to police power, among other demands. “It’s kind of shocking to see it on our campus,” Katera Berent, a junior in the Diedrich College of Communication said after seeing the size of the protest. “They definitely made some noise.” The event began at 3:00 p.m. with opening speeches in Westowne Square. Joseph Martinez II, who was arrested along with fellow Coalition SOC members and Marquette
students Miguel Sanchez, Victoria Gokee-Rindal and Rebecca Zellelew, whose identities were confirmed by fellow students and protestors, spoke briefly along with a number of community leaders from many religious, academic and ethnic backgrounds. Police could not be reached to confirm arrests. After marching the length of Wisconsin Avenue while chanting slogans supporting their

of services to victims of sexual assaults, from protective services to advocacy work. Campus police and on-campus advocates assist victims at every step of the investigation, from getting victims treated to offering transportation to hearings in case they want to prosecute. The university’s Counseling Center also offers free and confidential support for anyone. While employees at Marquette are required to report sexual assaults they hear, mental health practitioners are bound by law not to disclose anything they hear to the university. Lynn O’Brien, coordinator of Sexual Violence Prevention and Treatment Services at Marquette, said a lot of people do not take advantage of counseling services for fear that they will be expected to recount their assault. “The place we start with someone who has been assaulted is giving them the support they need in the aftermath of the crisis, helping them restabilize their life,” O’Brien said. “We don’t necessarily need to start with the narrative of the assault.” During the 2013-’14 school year, 56 students said they wanted to address sexual assault, rape or harassment at their intake appointment at the counseling center. Leatherwood stressed that all services, including those proceeding with prosecution, are designed to be as victimcentered as possible and that the choice to share information is in students’ hands. “Some students may report and not tell us who the perpetrator is,” Leatherwood said. “It may very well be somebody on our campus, but if they’re not willing to tell us, there’s really not that much we can do about that, except to offer them

EFFORTS GOING FORWARD All university employees are expected to be well-versed in civil rights under Title IX and Title VII, two laws meant to prevent discrimination on the basis of sex. The emphasis has required the university to put a lot of time into training its staff. “It speaks to the permanent priority the university designated for this important topic,” University spokesperson Brian Dorrington said. Still, Leatherwood said the efforts to change sexual assault culture on campus are continually changing. Bystander intervention

We’ve gotten our Greeks involved, ROTC is heavily involved, our athletes are going to be very involved.” Marya Leatherwood, Title IX Coordinator training is now available at Marquette, allowing people to get trained on how to appropriately assist others who are involved in an uncomfortable or unsafe situation. “It’s our feeling that when you assist other students in how to intervene appropriately, they will intervene and be a positive force in preventing or stopping something from happening,” Leatherwood said. “We’ve gotten our Greeks involved, ROTC is heavily involved, our athletes are going to be very involved.” O’Brien said these initiatives have contributed to the rise in sexual assault reporting. They complement a larger national push to open conversation about sexual assaults on campuses across the country. The White House unveiled the “It’s On Us” awareness campaign last fall, following up on the president’s special task force formed earlier in 2014 to make campuses safer for students. Nationally, the number of sexual offenses reported to the U.S. Department of Education has risen substantially. In terms of on-campus sexual offenses, 5,050 were reported compared to 2,722 eight years prior. In Wisconsin, the same figure rose from 91 to 123 over the same time period. “There have been counseling center staff involved to make some of those changes on campus, but those changes are about the process, the way we handle sexual assault,” she said. “The way we publicize like the teal ribbon campaign. Those are initiatives that are bigger than the counseling center.” ‘HOT COALS IN YOUR HAND’ The anonymous junior in the College of Arts & Sciences urged other victims of sexual
Below is what the senior told her perpetrator on a voice recording that was played after the university-led trial had concluded:
Dear (name omitted), I have been thinking about this obviously a lot lately a year and a half ago and what happened this past fall, but the thing I’ve mostly been thinking about is now what? I am choosing to let go of the coals because if I squeeze this any harder, I’m just going to keep getting burned and burned. And keep getting hurt again and remember how powerless and how objectified I was. I am choosing to forgive you for what you did. I’m not saying I like you, or want to be your friend, but I am saying I forgive you and I’m not holding onto this anymore because it has already affected me so much. I’m not doing that. And I really hope and pray that you can become a better person because of this and that this class you’re taking and this project you’re doing and this hearing and this process has really taught you what sexual harassment and assault really is and that you won’t go out there and do this again to another girl. That you will not do that again. Because that is my only hope. What happened to me happened. But if I can stop you from making another girl’s life miserable, I did something. I think you have the ability to be an amazing, great person. You just have to get there somehow. You just have to figure out how to get there. You just need to turn your life around.

Although it was a studentorganized protest, a number of Marquette faculty members marched with students to show support and call attention to the racism they say is present in the university’s shadows. “Often times we hear stories about incidental amounts of racial violence our students are subject to,” said Jodi Melamed, a Marquette associate professor of English and Africana Studies. “For instance the drawing on a chalkboard last week in the library of a sort-of lynched person…. in a space where two black students had been working. And you hear about this all the time.” With traffic stopped at the intersection, students gathered outside of McCormick Hall and Walgreens to watch police gather at the scene.

Meyer said the point was to implement a system that proactively educates students and faculty members about academic honesty. “We’d been seeing all of these violations across the board,” Meyers said, “so we asked ourselves, ‘what are we doing to deal with academic misconduct?’ The answer was, ‘not much.’” The university created an “honor code” and an “honor pledge” to reiterate its

academic integrity on campus, and the committee decided on three initiatives to pursue: the honor code, centralizing the mechanism to adjudicate academic dishonesty, and implementing an educational initiative to teach people about the problem. By January 2013, thenProvost John Pauly put together a group to analyze and implement the three initiatives this past fall. Meyer stressed, though, that Marquette did not have a worse problem with academic dishonesty than other universities. According to a 2010 study by Rutgers University, about 75 percent of students that took part in the survey admitted to engaging in academic misconduct at least once during their college careers. “Most students don’t go into the classroom thinking ‘I’m going to cheat,’” Meyer said. “They compromise their integrity when things need to be completed in a short amount of time.” That’s why Meyer said he would encourage students to talk with their professors when they feel they are getting behind, to ask for an extension or some other compromise to help them complete their work in an honest way.

Catching up with a former university president I also learned the fact, bluntly, that you don’t please all the people all the time. You have to do what you think is best. You have lots of people that give you advice and they all have a voice and it is important to listen to all of the voices but the trouble is, you can’t follow what every voice says. One of the enormous positives of a university campus is the vibrancy, the enormous variety of interests and thoughts and so on. To me, that was very enlivening. Marquette was a good place to be.
Albert DiUlio offers his insight into Jesuit education, Lovell By Julia Pagliarulo
julia.pagliarulo@marquette.edu
The Marquette Tribune caught up with former university president the Rev. Albert DiUlio to discuss his time at Marquette, what he’s done since leaving the university and his continuing support of Marquette basketball. DiUlio graduated from Marquette in 1965 and 25 years later became the university’s 21st president, a position he held from 1990 to 1996. During his time as university president, DiUlio created the Campus Town East and West university apartments, changed the mascot from the Warriors to the Golden Eagles and implemented a new parking structure. “(DiUlio) loved Marquette and he was happy to be at Marquette and have that opportunity to be president,” said Andrew Thon, a Jesuit professor who taught during DiUlio’s presidency. “He came in with the experience of being a president (at Xavier University) and he didn’t have to learn much. He knew Marquette and he knew how to be a president.”
MT: You were here when the mascot changed from the Warriors to the Golden Eagles. What was this transition like? DiUlio: It was a challenging change. The constant issue was to be respectful of the Native Americans. So the people came from this committee and said we can’t do this very well by being Warriors, so can we change the mascot? Well, I mean if you feel that’s necessary, we’ll see what we can do with that. And then we went through a process of inviting people to propose new mascots and we voted and it came out to be Golden Eagles. MT: Did this change create any backlash? DiUlio: Not so much to the name Golden Eagles but to the dropping of Warriors. From my own classmates, people were extraordinarily displeased. But that’s OK. You know, my thing was, as part of a Jesuit life and part of a religious life, it was important we were respectful of people and from my point of view this was a point of being
Marquette Tribune: What did serving as Marquette’s president teach you? DiUlio: It taught me a certain level of humility and a continuing great pride in the institution.
very respectful of Native Americans and being very careful of how we represented ourselves. MT: What are your thoughts on University President Michael Lovell? DiUlio: He’s been terrific. I think he brings a new vision and new life and we clearly, with a lay president, are moving into a different era. Just this year, Marquette went to a lay president, as did St. Louis University. MT: What are the biggest challenges facing Jesuit higher education? DiUlio: One of the biggest challenges is continuing the charism of Jesuit education and its style and what you would call the Ignatian vision of higher education in particular. The problem with that is there are fewer and fewer Jesuits so you need to inform and bring along a larger non-Jesuit program. When you are in some of the schools that have far fewer Jesuits, passing on that charism and continuing that charism is a great challenge. Another challenge is the financing of education. The financing of Catholic higher education in general, Jesuit education is no different, is an ongoing challenge to the work we do. The attempt we continue to make to be able to care for the disadvantaged, the poor, whoever, takes an enormous amount of money. It puts a great strain on our resources and fundraising really takes care of a lot of that. Otherwise you don’t balance your budget, and that’s not a very

good thing for higher education. MT: Any proposed solutions for these problems? DiUlio: I think we can do a lot for maintaining and continuing the education of Jesuit charism among faculty and staff and trustees and among students. Fixing the financial issues is much harder in many ways. It’s a matter of really wanting to go out there and selling what we continue to offer to a large community of donors who want to continue to support this type of work. MT: You left Marquette in 1996. What have you done since then? DiUlio: I wound up teaching at Santa Clara (University). Then in 1999 I went to Africa and founded the Catholic University of Ethiopia. When I came back I ran the Catholic schools of the Los Angeles Archdiocese and was president of the 278 Catholic schools there. And then I went to the Jesuit conference in Washington D.C. where I was treasurer. The last three years, prior to this one, as I say, I was the Vatican Observatory Foundation and I say that because I was the only person there. I was a fundraiser for them. Since then, I became treasurer of the Chicago, Detroit and Wisconsin Jesuit provinces and that’s where I am now. I’ve done a lot of things, and all of them have been interesting and exciting in various ways. From living in Ethiopia to living in Tucson to living in Los Angeles, they’re all different and I enjoyed them all. MT: You mentioned being treasurer of the midwestern Jesuit provinces. What is going on with these provinces? DiUlio: In the United States we had 10 Jesuit provinces. We are going to four. On June 30, 2017 Wisconsin is combining with Chicago and Detroit. This is due to the decreasing number of Jesuits. There were a lot of us for a while and now our numbers are down and we are not a young group anymore. We have combined and are combining and this process will be finished about 2020. MT: Can you describe the experience of being
Marquette’s president? DiUlio: It was wonderful. It really was. I was here for six years and I had an extraordinarily fine experience. It was nice coming back to my alma mater to share in its life and to make some changes and oversee. My predecessor (the Rev. John Raynor) had been here for 25 years so there were some things we were doing — the neighborhood had to be worked on and that was probably our biggest task. We had to really be careful with and respectful of the neighborhood but also making sure it was a good and safe place for students. So we built the first part of Campus Town then and it’s been very successful. It’s hard to believe its been 20 years since its been up but yes, its done well. Things that needed to be done got done and it was a terrific experience. Having had Raynor as my predecessor, he did an enormously good job and put a lot of things in place and we built on that. And I say that just as (former university president the Rev. Robert) Wild built on what happened before his time. MT: Do you have any future plans? DiUlio: No future plans. Part of it is, I’ve never had anything else in mind in the sense that things have come up periodically that I’ve heard about. If that’s what the society wants, then I do these things and make what I can out of any new position. I go do a job and then I go. For me, it’s just good to go and do your thing and then more onto the next. That’s just my philosophy and part of it is, I have a lot to do and not a lot of time for dwelling on the past. MT: As a Marquette alum, have you kept up with Marquette basketball? DiUlio: I certainly have! I’m very optimistic about next season because of the new coach and a splendid recruiting class. I still follow the Clippers because of Doc Rivers, I still follow the Heat because Dwyane (Wade) is there and I still follow the Bulls because Jimmy Butler is there. I mean, that’s what I do. It’s personal for me. I’ve never been in town and missed a Marquette game.

MUSG removes divestment clauses from legislation Socially Responsible Investments passes; senator info released By Joseph Cahill
joseph.cahill@marquette.edu
Marquette Student Government passed the recommendation on the floor calling for more socially responsible investments by the university, while removing all language regarding divestment. The legislation was passed after an executive session was called into action by the senate, and the name has changed from Socially Responsible Investments and Divestments to Socially Responsible Investments. It also removes several defining
clauses that mention divesting or screening out companies that act against Marquette’s values. The changes remove any reference to companies that are complicit with human rights violations and the organizations that cite them. The changes also remove proposed clauses that recommended the university “engage in responsible investments from companies that insures the wellbeing of its employees, respects their right to a living wage and a safe work environment.” A recommendation that Marquette “dissociate itself from companies that engage or aid in systematic prejudiced oppression, whether this system targets people based on their religion, nationality, gender, race or orientation, by divesting from any companies that participate in or profit from human rights
violations,” was also removed from the legislation. President of Students for Justice in Palestine Rawan Atari, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she was disappointed in the senate with the results of the meeting. “Not only did they vote in their personal interest, they shut us out and did not allow us to hear the debate,” Atari said. “Not only that, but stripped it of anything that really made it a divestment bill and with that they took away our voices as students,” she said. As defined by the MUSG Governing Documents, “those present shall be the MUSG Senate and any people invited by the Senate and approved by three-fourths affirmative vote of the present Senate to be present during executive session.” Senator Zachary Bowman, a senior in the College of Arts &
Sciences, then invited the concerned students present at the meeting to the closed discussion. This proposition was voted down and all non-MUSG members were asked to leave the room for the discussion and debate of Recommendation 1. The meeting was called into an executive session after MUSG President Zack Wallace, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, revealed a document that had been circulating campus containing personal information about MUSG senators. “This document is a list of each of you (senators) individually, with your name, picture, as well as other personal information including your religious and political beliefs,” Wallace explained. “This document also has assignments and plans of action to solicit your support for a particular topic.”
Wallace said that the Office of Student Affairs would be conducting an investigation regarding the document. “I further believe that you have the right to see this information, what has been written about you and shared with other students whether it is true or otherwise,” Wallace said. “The office of student affairs will be conducting an investigation into this matter and that is why I ask that no photos be taken and only senators’ eyes see the document,” he said. Vice President of SJP Leeane Othman, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she was frustrated with waiting outside the room during the debate and discussion. Atari said this would not be the end of SJP’s campaign for Marquette to divest.

Choice: New MU-sponsored school to operate with voucher funds fueled this right from the very beginning and the community outside of Marquette was also vital.” Henk said Cristo Rey schools provide underprivileged students with a college preparatory education. To cover the costs associated with this project, students are placed in four-person teams and work in local businesses. Each student works one day out of every week and once a month, a student picks up a second day to give the business full coverage. “By their graduation, the students will have worked successfully in a business for four years,” Henk said. “This program allows them to develop these ‘soft skills’ that employers really like — coming to work everyday on time, dressing
appropriately, customer service — it makes the kids mature. They know the expectations of the workplace before they even go to college.” The school already selected its freshmen class and will add a freshman class of 100 students each year until it reaches its capacity of 400 students. A lot of work still needs to be done before the new school opens in August on 1215 S. 45th Street in West Milwaukee. “We are working on establishing the final student work placements and are hiring teachers and staff, finishing building renovations and finalizing what our student’s programs - academic, extracurricular and athletic offerings - will be,” Stith said in an email. “We are also preparing work sites for our
students workers and deciding on programs to help our students prepare for the workplace.” Henk said all of the work that has gone into the school is more than worth it to him. “I regard this as some of the most important work I’ve ever done,” Henk said. “For me, the idea that every year students will get this high-quality education that will position them well for college and change the lives of them and their families makes a ton of work all worth it.” A SPLIT ISSUE The voucher program has attracted opposition from people who say the program depletes
funds from public schools and subsidizes religious education. Associate economics professor Noreen Lephardt said she thinks the new high school embodies Jesuit values. “It is not secret that the Milwaukee Public School System is in trouble,” Lephardt said in an email. “Marquette is offering a positive, forward-looking solution to students. I think, and feel and pray about our Jesuit identity, and when I hear about this initiative I know we are responding to a deep set of Jesuit values.” Lephardt said Cristo Rey should seek tax dollar funding as long as it’s educating urban youth efficiently. “In my opinion, as long as there is
no interference on matters of faith, and families are freely choosing this high school, then I strongly support public tax dollars flowing to schools that are successful in educating our youth,” Lephardt said. “Education is an investment in youth’s future productivity, sense of self-worth and ability to earn an income.” Charter and Choice schools like Cristo Rey are economic competition to the existing school system. “Competition provides the incentive to improve our educational system,” Lephardt said. “As a parent, I would want the best set of options to choose from when deciding about my child’s education.”

Friends, the end of the semester is finally here. Although we are still dealing with the dramatic Midwestern climate, sunshine and warm weather are on the way. With that said, it is time to take advantage of the outdoor activities that are readily available to those staying in Milwaukee this summer.
By Caroline Horswill
caroline.horswill@marquette.edu
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Visit the Urban Go for a run (or walk) Bike Milwaukee Ecology Center
The Urban Ecology Center wants you to experience the outdoors. They offer a $12 yearly membership for students. As a member, you can borrow outdoor equipment for free from their park locations: Riverside Park, Washington Park and Menomonee Valley. The rentable summer equipment includes canoes, kayaks, bikes, camping equipment and lawn sports. The ecology centers are accessible by bus (ranging from 19 to 30 minutes) or by car (10 minutes maximum). The Urban Ecology Centers offer a mini-escape to nature, away from Milwaukee’s urban environment.
From the street to the trails, Milwaukee is a great city for biking. If you have your own bike and are interested in bringing it to Milwaukee, the parking structures on campus have bike corrals, where you can freely keep your bicycle; just make sure you have a U-Lock. If you don’t have a bike, do not fret! Bublr Bikes, Milwaukee’s bike-share stations, are rentable in 11 different locations in Milwaukee. All you have to do is use a credit card to buy a Single Ride or Bublr Pass. The Single Ride is $3 and lasts up to 30 minutes. Every additional 30 minutes will add $3 to your rental. The Bublr Bikes are convenient for getting around downtown Milwaukee, but if you have your own bike, there are a few trails easily accessible from the city. The Oak Leaf Trail is a paved, 108-mile recreational trail, which connects all of the major parks in the Milwaukee County Park System. The Hank Aaron State Trail begins at Lakeshore State Park, near Discovery World and the Summerfest grounds. The trail stretches through the Third and Fifth Wards, past Miller Park and as far west as the State Fair Park.
The trails mentioned above are multi-use and are great running and walking trails. Of course, there is the always the classic, tranquil run along the lakefront. Whether you are with a friend or going solo, this path is great in any season, but especially during the summer months. If you’re looking for fun or competitive ways to run this summer, Milwaukee has multiple races to choose from. On June 19, Glow in the Night 5K will take place. Over the course of three miles, participants will be covered in glow powder that will light up under the black lights lining the course. Glow in the Night creates a fun experience for participants while giving back to the local community. This year, they will be donating to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. As far as a more easy-going run and walk, July 9 is BMO Harris’s Storm the Bastille, a 5K that kicks off Bastille Days. Matthew Miceli, a junior in the College of Business Administration, shared his experience last year during Storm the Bastille. “Seeing thousands of people running down Milwaukee’s major streets was awesome, especially given the race takes place at night, Miceli said. “While it is a 5K, everyone goes at their own pace, whether they were walking or running. I cannot wait for this year’s Storm the Bastille.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether exploring, running or walking, Milwaukee offers many opportunities for you to get outside during the summertime. Midwestern winters are long, and you deserve to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather that is on its way.
5 SONGS TO GET YOU THROUGHTHE REST OF THE SEMESTER
1
By Phillip Ghuneim
phillip.ghuneim@marquette.edu
The end of the school year and approaching summer vacation are invariably made bittersweet by an infamous series of trials and tribulations known as finals week. Ironically, it is the largest hurdle placed closest to the finish line, and so it may be difficult for students to stay motivated until the very end. For those who are finding it tough to stay driven, here is a playlist of songs that are about getting away, in order to remind you what you’re working toward.
3
“Fly Away”—Lenny Kravitz
“Jet Airliner”—The Steve Miller Band
As the title would suggest, one of Lenny Kravitz’s most successful hit singles to date is solely about the desire to “get away.” Through an iconic guitar riff behind an impossible-to-resist chorus to sing along to, “Fly Away” is the perfect song to begin your summer vacation playlist.
Similar to the first song on this list, “Jet Airliner” is about the joys of aimless traveling. The song teaches that we often must “go through hell before (we can) get to heaven,” which is applicable to finals week for obvious reasons. Jet Airliner might be one of the older songs on this playlist, but it’s a classic nonetheless.
2
“Where The Streets Have No Name”—U2 This song is nothing short of a musical masterpiece and is lyrically pertinent to breaking through to the freedom of summer vacation. The song includes inspirational lines about “tearing down the walls that hold me inside” and exploring “a place high on the desert plain” to invoke a longing to travel. It just be the motivation you need to push through the last stretch of the school year.
5
4
“Kokomo”—The Beach Boys Kokomo is another song lyrically germane to the impending summer vacation, as it describes two lovers taking a trip to a tropical island in Jamaica, called “Kokomo.” Musically, “Kokomo” has the tranquil and melodious sound that you’d expect to hear at a luxury resort and which the Beach Boys are famous for.
“Hotel California”—The Eagles Arguably one of the most iconic songs about vacationing, “Hotel California” is the ideal soundtrack to your eventual freedom. There have been countless complex interpretations of The Eagles’ hit track, but at its core, the song describes a trip to Los Angeles, as well as experiencing the high life at a paradise resort. Regardless of if you plan to travel over break, this song is sure to help set a relaxing mood for your time off.

Two ice cream shops with exceptional options and service By James Price
james.price@marquette.edu
Only one confection solves every problem on a hot, sticky, sweltering day: ice cream. Whether you’re a chocolate, vanilla or Neapolitan kind of person, ice cream is one treat that never disappoints, especially in the Dairy State. If you are more of a frozen yogurt connoisseur, Milwaukee still has you covered. Purple Door Ice Cream and the Yo Factory are two local joints providing people a chance to cool down when things start to heat up in the summer. Purple Door Ice Cream, located in Walker’s Point at 205 S. 2nd St., a few blocks from the Third Ward, is a tidy little shop that offers ice cream every day from noon until 9 p.m. This place is a reasonable option for students because of its close proximity to campus. You can take Bus 23, the Blue Line or even a bike. Like most ice cream shops, there is limited seating. During the summer, that isn’t much of an issue with outside seats available in front
of the shop. Similar to Kopp’s or Leon’s, Purple Door serves flavors of the day including malted vanilla and green tea, along with mainstay options like chocolate and vanilla. The service at Purple Door is extremely fast, and their servers are noticeably gregarious and make your stay worthwhile. The setting of Purple Door blends modern aesthetics with an old school feel, donning shades of purple on the walls and silver reflective tables with checkers that look like they belong on the set of “Back to the Future.” The pricing is not their strongest attribute, starting at $3 for a single scoop and $7 for waffle cone with a double scoop of ice cream. Make no mistake about it though- the portions Purple Door gives are more than enough for customers to feel satisfied. Caramel cashew and salted caramel were the two flavors that ended up in my waffle cone, and ordering two caramel-based ice cream scoops was a smart choice. After finishing the salted caramel, which reminded me a lot of Kopp’s caramel salted option, the caramel cashew came next and simply put my taste buds over the top. The saltiness of the cashew blended nicely with the caramel and vanilla mixture. Purple Door not only opened my eyes

to the great service they offer, but appealed to my taste buds and busy schedule with its convenient location, three factors that will certainly bring me back during the coming summer months. The Yo Factory, located at 2203 N. Farwell Ave., is another dairy staple within the

Milwaukee area, near the east side on UWM’s campus. Albeit a farther trip than Purple Door, the Yo Factory gives students a chance to get away from campus and explore more of Milwaukee. What better time for exploration than summer? Although frozen yogurt is not technically ice cream, it is a fantastic alternative and still has a similar taste for those not looking to stray away from traditional ice cream. One advantage Yo Factory has over Purple Door is the late hours, staying open until 11 p.m. compared to Purple Door’s 9 p.m. closing time. Another advantage lies in the toppings. At Purple Door, there are not many toppings available to add to your treat, which is somewhat disappointing. Yo Factory allows you to choose from cheesecake bites, gummy worms, sprinkles, chocolate bits and other sugary accessories. It is nice that Yo Factory provides an opportunity to enhance your dessert. By the same
token, Purple Door is confident enough in their products that toppings are not vital to their ice cream’s success. The ambiance of Yo Factory reminds me of a warm cozy home, with bricks and a touch of dark red paint splashed on the wall. The only downfall of frozen yogurt, something Yo Factory cannot escape, is how fast it melts after coming from the machine. In the summer, there is nothing worse than ice cream turning to soup, and that is one area where ice cream seems to trump frozen yogurt, its cousin. If I have to choose which one is better, my gut tells me Purple Door is the winner—and that I ate too much in one sitting. Purple Door’s location and premium homemade taste give it a slight nod over the Yo Factory, but with summer coming and tons of time to explore Milwaukee, experimenting for yourself might be the best way to ace this taste test.

University is ready for the trials ahead after transitions
Photo by Rebecca Rebholz/rebecca.rebholzf@marquette.edu
Our view: Marquette has faced a number of obstacles this year and recovered nicely, putting it in a solid position for the inevitable future challenges to come. Most fans recognize Marquette men’s basketball’s 13-19 mark this season as that of a transition year. Head coach Steve Wojciechowski was in his first season, key players transferred and underclassmen were logging more minutes than they ever had before. While the team had its worst season in more than a decade, it wasn’t all bad in the big picture. The program has one of the best recruiting classes in the country entering next season and is returning multiple starters. It was transition. It was a step forward. That’s an easier concept to understand for sports, but it’s true for the rest of the university, too. Nearly one full year ago, the Tribune wrote an open letter to then-University President-elect Michael Lovell to be a transparent leader and include student input in moving the university forward. Lovell took over following a year that saw 10 resignations of high-ranking administrators, leaving the university as somewhat of a rudderless ship according to Deadspin. Lovell, and the rest of the university community, was not going to restore positive vibes and fill the voids immediately, but we can say with confidence this year was a step forward. Following inclusive, transparent searches, positions were permanently filled at provost, Department of Public Safety chief and athletic director. Initiatives to physically expand campus with the purchase of a 7.5-acre tract of land in the 800 block of W. Michigan promised added resources. Partnerships with surrounding businesses and into the Avenues West neighborhood encouraged outreach beyond just 19th and
11th streets. Marquette may have seemingly lacked direction during the 2013-’14 academic year, but now it appears headed on a solid course. There is still work to be done. Multiple leadership positions remain open, and now another with College of Communication Dean Lori Bergen leaving her post after this semester. An image might need to be repaired after the message sent in the situation with professor of political science John McAdams was somewhat incoherent. And it is unclear what the results of the university’s climate study will reveal, but just Monday a protest took place on campus demanding more efforts to increase diversity. Challenges are ahead, and it should not be surprising if there has been or will be a bump or two. Fortunately, it appears the new administration is prepared to tackle these challenges after a year of laying the groundwork. A year that saw Marquette’s first lay president was automatically defined by transition. Not only was Marquette moving on from a bundle of interims and the sudden departure of former University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz, but it was entering into new leadership it had not seen in its more than 130 years. The 2014-’15 academic year was a step into uncharted territory, but it was what the university needed after lacking direction. In addition to filling leadership voids, a sense of community and transparency was renewed in many ways with Lovell being visible on campus and connecting with the university community. We will be anxious to see where the university heads in the next several years. But in a year dedicated to transition – both in leadership and consequently in image – we are comfortable with the course. And, thankfully for Lovell, he doesn’t have to do battle with the rest of the Big East to prove it.

Student media stays strong in the face of challenges Matt Gozun
Columnist During the first semester of my freshman year, I entered Marquette with the intention of majoring in journalism. As part of that major’s curriculum, I was required to take a one-credit course called “Practicum in Student Media” with Steve Byers. Essentially, the class was listening to Byers talk for an hour once a week and writing articles for one of campus’s student media publications. As the former editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, I thought the Tribune would be a natural fit and I made it a point to receive my first assignment from them. Before even arriving on campus, I knew I wanted to work for the Tribune, and so I viewed the class mainly as an avenue to achieving that goal. I was hired in September, and with me writing an article each week, soon fulfilled the class’s article requirement. After that point, I don’t really remember too much about the class, though one point has remained with me seven semesters after taking that course. “May you live in interesting times,” Byers told us. The quote is supposedly a Chinese curse, though one of questionable authenticity, that dooms its target to a lifetime of struggle. Periods of rapid change and conflict, like times of war, have always held more interest in the public imagination than those of relative peace and prosperity. For those of us sitting in that class, the phrase served more as a warning than a curse: the world of media was changing, and if we did not adapt, we would not make it in this brave new world. Since those days, much has changed. I left the College of Communication and declared a new major. Byers retired. Johnston Hall got new bathrooms. And the Tribune was made into a component of the new Marquette Wire as part of a reorganizational campaign for student media. It seems that every year, those of us working at the Tribune would receive some dire news regarding the future of our newspaper. Like the rest of the media world, the Tribune is not immune to the decline of print and has fought to prove its relevancy as the public’s eye moves away from newsstands and onto tablets. Every year came talks of budget cuts, lost pages and reduced positions. Working at the Tribune, I never really knew how the next year would play out because every May promised a dramatic change
to the way things worked. Despite this uncertainty, the Tribune has grown and thrived. Were you to compare a Tribune from 2011 to the one you are reading now, you may be convinced that they are not the same publication. While there have been issues with the transition to a webfocused publication, what we have been able to accomplish online with limited resources is something to be proud of. This isn’t just me tooting my own horn. I’ll admit that this year, despite being on staff, I’ve been absent from the Tribune newsroom, content to submit a weekly column and leave the rest to the experts. It makes me proud to say the person in charge of student media next year was once a mere reporter who I would let edit other people’s stories for the fun of it. It makes me even more proud to know, without a doubt, that he and the rest of the staff will do a great job. If there is anything I wish for the future of the Tribune, it is that the hard work and determination of the people behind it not go unnoticed. As a writer, the best payment I can receive is the knowledge that the things I create can have an impact on the lives of those on campus and beyond. The paltry stipend we receive is nothing compared to the feeling of seeing others reading the Tribune or commenting on an article. Our goal at the Tribune is to stimulate conversations and it’s always nice to hear back from the other side. As a campus newspaper, the Tribune is one of the only places where students can have their voices heard on issues that matter only to them. The truth is most towns with 8,000 people do not have their own newspaper to talk about local issues. The fact Marquette does is a gift that should be embraced by more people. And unlike some other college newspapers, the Tribune has escaped the increasing politicization that plagues the rest of the nation. The Tribune staff is diverse in both backgrounds and opinions, and in the end, it has been, and will forever be, a champion of free speech and open dialogue. And so my fellow Tribbers, especially Becca, Joe and Rob, with whom I have had the honor of working with since my freshman year, it’s been a good run. We truly have lived in interesting times and though we’ve been warned of them, I can’t help but say that they’ve been a blessing rather than a curse.

Disability The psychology of jaywalking on campus services can’t act alone on Caroline Paul access concerns Columnist Sarah Patel
Columnist
With graduation fast approaching, you can become in awe of how fast time has flown. You start feeling nostalgic for those early days at Marquette as well as excited for the future ahead. I had a different experience coming to the university than most. Many picked Marquette for its great academics, urban location, family ties or many other reasons. I picked Marquette because the disability services provided me, as a blind individual, the most support. This annoyed me at first, and I struggled my first couple years at Marquette. I hated that support for my disability was the first thing I had to consider when picking a school. Even at a time of individuality and independence, I felt my decision was dependent on something out of my control, and my individuality was being challenged as a result. It did not feel like a real choice because I had to base it on the fact I have a disability. I later realized I made the right decision. Marquette’s Office of Disability Services made me feel like a priority and like my individual concerns were important and unique, unlike many other schools that looked at my physical disability against their own standards. Disability services has been an ally to me rather than an advocate. For me, this meant I could go to them with concerns about classes and other campus accessibility issues, and we could brainstorm and come up with a solution together rather than just having them handle the situation with no input from me. I had my fair share of accessibility concerns during my time here, and I still do as a graduating senior. Disability services, while a great resource, is not the only office on campus that can do something about the accessibility concerns of those with physical and learning disabilities. For change to actually occur, many more need to get involved and not just ask questions, but have answers and funding to make these answers a reality. With this being said, the only way to better help individuals with disabilities is to ask them what they need, rather than assuming or comparing one case to thousands of others. Every individual handles disabilities differently, so the support needed is unique to the situation. By setting up a system where these concerns can be handled on a case-bycase basis with the support of each college and not just disability services, more positive change will be seen. While I did have concerns, I was also grateful I could express them. Many times I was disappointed when they were not addressed directly; however, there were also times when I felt truly heard. Although I was told many times my individual needs couldn’t be met because then everyone’s individual needs would have to be met, disability services never told me my concerns were not valid or that change was not possible. I may have heard no from other offices or departments on campus, but I never heard it from them. Individuals with disabilities are told no far too many times, and are discouraged by the constant denial they face. From my first meeting with people in disability services four years ago, I felt more empowered in the fact that I had a choice in matters rather than just a yes or no. I can say I was successful in my time here because encouragement from one place meant more than anything else. All students struggle from time to time. Students with a disability feel certain struggles every day, and I truly felt I had support around these struggles at Marquette.

You do it whether you think about it or not. And no, it’s not blinking or breathing. It’s giving in to peer pressure for something you never even knew existed: jaywalking. In the interest of writing this as honestly as possible, I did what I do best. I lurked. I sat on a bench outside the soonto-be-defunct Jes Res and lurked on all the people legally crossing the street by the library, as well as those ducking into traffic without the right of way. And the results are in. When it comes to jaywalking, we all have our own styles, but we all still fall in line with the group. Just as there are a variety of ways individuals walk, there are a variety of ways individuals walk illegally. Some saunter. Others scurry. There are always a few bobbers and weavers. Regardless of the way it is done, the deed goes down every day on crosswalks all over campus. Doesn’t that make it sound cooler than it really is? Real talk, jaywalking will get you no street cred unless you are doing parkour or a barrel roll across the street. But I digress. If we’re going to do it, I’m going to make it sound cool. So Marquette students are doing a less-than-advisable thing every day. But jaywalking has its own social psychology that almost everyone seems to adhere to, if they know it or not. As I lurked the other day, I saw things I never would have noticed had I been a part of group on the edge of the street. People really are looking for social cues as they decide to outrun an oncoming car. In the period between classes, the intersection and sidewalks outside the library are packed with people. And they all want to get across the street as fast as possible. When there are cars whizzing along, it’s like a dog track right before they open the gates. But if there is a less steady stream of cars, the social aspect of jaywalking is clear to those lurking in the background. Everyone is looking at everyone else to see if it is safe to get across the street. We’re socially normative even as we’re deciding to go play in traffic or not. When there is a huge pack of people, sometimes all it takes is a single brave soul to dart into the street for all the others massed there to follow and cross the street like it’s the crossing of the Red Sea, even though it’s only 15

feet of pavement. If there are less people, just a few clustered on the curb, the dynamics are a little stranger. A brave person might start to cross, and those behind will follow, only to realize they cannot keep up with the long-legged stranger. Then they backpedal as a car comes speeding along, with looks on their faces like they have been personally betrayed by this person. After a person runs into the street and no one follows, because the group can sense that the oncoming car is too close, there is a measure of satisfaction and scorn on the faces of the group as

the car slows down and honks at the jaywalking pariah. So if you’re wondering what your jaywalking says about you, all it’s saying is that you aren’t really a rebel. Even doing something illegal, you’re doing it by following everybody else. Next time you have a minute, lurk. And be amazed at the subliminal social norming that’s happening all around you.

Women’s lacrosse ends season with late goal against Cincy By Hank Greening
henry.greening@marquette.edu
With the joy of snapping a losing skid and sending the seniors off on a high note, history was made Saturday. For the first time in the program’s history, the Marquette women’s lacrosse team won the last game of the season. With 14 seconds remaining in the second half, Marquette’s Hayley Baas broke a 7-7 tie and gave the Golden Eagles a win on the final day of the season. Baas’ goal broke a seven game winless drought and awarded Marquette (5-12, 1-6) its first win in Big East conference play with the 8-7 win in Cincinnati (2-15, 0-7) Saturday. “This win was huge,” Marquette coach Meredith Black told GoMarquette.com. “It means a lot. We were hungry for it and wanted to have some success today and we did. It wasn’t easy and I think that’s so telling of our team that
we’re able to overcome everything and do whatever it takes to get the victory.” Black called a timeout with 1:43 to go, just after Cincinnati knotted the game at seven. Marquette won the ensuing draw and possessed the ball for the next minute and a half before Baas sent home the game winner. With time still remaining, Marquette needed to win the draw to seal the victory. The Golden Eagles struggled with draws all season, but when it mattered most, Marquette’s leading point getter, Claire Costanza, won the draw and ran out the clock. The Golden Eagles dominated the faceoff circle in the second half 8-1, including the last four of the game. Marquette freshman midfielder Allison Lane won five draw controls on the day. “It was why we won the game,” Black told GoMarquette.com. “We wouldn’t have been able to compete or come up with opportunities if that wasn’t the case. Allison (Lane) made an adjustment at halftime and she was huge.” The Golden Eagles faced a 4-1 deficit with 14:15 left in the first half, but Marquette battled back thanks to Nicole Gleason’s
first of two goals on the day and Juiliana Shearer’s goal with just more than a minute and a half to go in the first. Junior goaltender Sarah Priem kept the Golden Eagles in the game in the first half, facing nine shots and saving four. Marquette also dominated the first half in draw controls, winning 6 of 8 draws. Marquette opened the second half just as they ended the first, scoring three goals in five minutes, taking a 6-4 advantage. The Golden Eagles made a habit of coming from behind to scare opponents in their last two games, but were on the wrong side of the comeback Saturday. The Golden Eagles traded goals with the Bearcats and led 7-5 with 15:43 to play. From there, the Bearcats made their move. Cincinnati scored twice and tied the game with just under two minutes left. However, Marquette was not going to be denied. “Last year, we ended on a loss and going into summer with that kind of negativity wasn’t good,” Black told GoMarquette.com. “So this year, we’re going into summer with a lot of positive thoughts and a positive vibe and that’s what we want.”

Club lacrosse beats Wisconsin to win GLLL title Golden Eagles win three games in two days during weekend By Jack Goods
jack.goods@marquette.edu
For the Marquette club lacrosse team, the Great Lakes Lacrosse League Tournament this weekend set the team up for a perfect opportunity at redemption. The Golden Eagles defeated the only three teams that they lost to in the regular season, Notre Dame, Northwestern and the host Wisconsin-Madison Red en route to its first GLLL title. After two 9-6 upset victories in the first two rounds Marquette played a closer game against the Badgers, eking out a 7-6 victory. Marquette went up by three goals in the fourth quarter on Wisconsin Red, the better of the school’s two squads who compete in the GLLL. The Golden Eagles looked to be closing in on the title when Wisconsin was handed a threeminute non-releasable penalty, but the Badgers scored a shorthanded goal to narrow the lead to two. They managed one more goal late. Wisconsin had one last opportunity to tie the game in the last 30 seconds, but a Marquette defender intercepted a pass that would have led to a wide-open opportunity. Freshman midfielder Niko
Kakos led the team with three goals and two assists in the title game. Sophomore midfielder Collin Dowdle scored two goals. Junior attackman Cam O’Connor and junior midfielder Daniel Javor each scored one. Javor was named the MVP of the tournament. He scored four goals over the weekend and was dominant at the faceoff X. “It’s the perfect ending,” Javor said. “To actually win a championship, mostly for the seniors who are leaving next year, it’s nice to do.” The title is a cherry on top of a transitional era for club lacrosse. The team played in the MCLA, the top level of club lacrosse, until 2012. The team was forced to move to the GLLL due to a MCLA rule that prohibits schools who have a Division I program to field a team. “For the seniors, it’s been great,” senior long-stick midfielder Joey Betori said. “We’ve gone through a lot with this team, with having to change leagues half way through because of the DI team coming in. (We) also had to find our identity, as a team not in the MCLA but the GLLL. It was the best way we could have gone out.” The Golden Eagles had history with their in-state rivals. Wisconsin eliminated Marquette from the tournament the last three years, including an 8-7 overtime game last season. This year’s team was even stronger than normal, as
Feivor snaps record at Drake Relays Ellenson places third as MU competes in two weekend meets By Andrew Goldstein
andrew.goldstein@marquette.edu
Marquette’s track and field athletes journeyed to Illinois and Iowa this past weekend to compete in two separate events. The Golden Eagles sent 42 athletes to compete in the one-day Benedictine Twilight Invitational in Lisle, Illinois Friday, while also sending 23 athletes to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Although there were many notable performances, the main event of the weekend involved junior high jumper Wally Ellenson, who hoped to finally out-jump rivals Bradley Adkins and Jacorian Duffield of Texas Tech. However, despite clearing a bar of 2.18 meters (7 x feet x 1.8 inches), Ellenson finished third behind Adkins and Duffield, the latter of which cleared a 2.25-meter bar for the win. Ellenson’s personal record still sits at a herculean 2.28 meters (7 x feet x 5.76 inches). Even though everybody was looking for a broken school record on the high jump, the only record to break this weekend was on the track. After Kellie Greenwood set a Marquette record in the 5,000-meter run last week in California, sophomore distance runner Brittney Feivor broke it at
the Drake Relays. Feivor’s time of 16:32.93 is less than two seconds faster than Greenwood’s record time. After standing for seven years, Marquette’s 5,000-meter record broke twice in as many weeks. This is also the fourth consecutive week Feivor posted a personal best in a distance event. “The big record for Brittney was pretty exciting,” coach Bert Rogers told GoMarquette.com. Another school record nearly fell in the women’s 1600-meter sprint medley, as Terica Harris, Cassy Goodrich, Anna Strong and Nicole Ethier collectively ran a 4:01.08, which is good enough for the second-fastest time in Marquette history. They were about six seconds off the first-place time and ended up finishing in sixth. Of the combined 65 athletes that represented Marquette this weekend, only one of them achieved a first place finish. That distinction went to pole vaulter Nicole Jaffke, a sophomore from Libertyville, Ill. Jaffke notched a height of 3.64 meters (11-feet-11.31 inches) at the Benedictine Twilight to take home top billings for the Golden Eagles. “As always, we came to compete hard,” Rogers told GoMarquette. com. “I’m proud of the way the team dealt with the elements and competed as hard as they could.” Marquette will compete in the Dave Rankin Invitational on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, next Friday and Saturday. After that, the Big East Outdoor Championships awaits Marquette’s top athletes May 8-9 at Villanova.
Wisconsin’s MCLA team combined into this one. The Badgers were undefeated this season prior to the championship and beat Marquette 11-9 in the regular season meeting this season. It was a busy weekend for the Golden Eagles, as all three games were played within a
two-day span. The team only had an hour break between the end of the Notre Dame and Northwestern games. Marquette came out a bit flat against Northwestern, falling behind 6-2. Marquette scored seven unanswered goals and junior goalie Calder Sutton stopped every shot
in the second half. For Marquette, it was a storybook ending to what the team has called its revenge tour. “It wasn’t easy, but I don’t think we would have wanted it any other way,” Betori said. “We showed them what we are made of.”

The state of Wisconsin should not face burden of paying for arena Andrew Goldstein Columnist
Even though the Milwaukee Bucks are trailing 3-2 in the first round of the NBA playoffs, optimism about Milwaukee basketball is at a high level. Jabari Parker has the potential to be an All-Star if he recovers from his ACL tear, Giannis Antetokounmpo does things with a basketball that human beings should not be able to do, and the team has a young core that could turn into one of the NBA’s best teams in a few years. After a long stretch of mediocrity, the Bucks have us all feeling good again. That feeling won’t last long if the new Milwaukee Bucks arena is publicly funded. The Bucks released renderings for a brand new stadium earlier this month and hope to move into their new digs in time for the 2017-18 season. However, before that can happen, Marc Lasry and Wes Edens, the Bucks’ relatively new owners, need to figure out how to pay for the thing. The new stadium would cost around $500 million according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, which is where the problem lies. Herb Kohl, the Bucks’ former owner, has pledged $100 million to the stadium’s construction, and the new owners have pledged $150 million. That still leaves the taxpayers of Wisconsin on the hook
for $250 million in stadium money and goodness knows how much for surrounding neighborhood development. According to Fox 6, Lasry and Edens are looking for at least a $150 million contribution from the state, which means people in places like Eau Claire, Green Bay, and Janesville will end up paying for a stadium that offers no economic benefit to them whatsoever. Lasry and Edens are also looking for at least $50 million from the city of Milwaukee and the surrounding counties. Alderman Bob Bauman has already suggested creating a one percent sales tax to help fund this boondoggle, and if you’re a Milwaukee resident, this may sound a bit familiar. That’s because the Wisconsin legislature enacted a sales tax in 1995 to help pay for Miller Park’s construction, and that tax isn’t projected to go away until 2020. Citizens may be stuck paying yet another tax to fund another stadium for 20 more years, at which point it will probably be time to pay the tax again for the next new stadium. Nearly 30 percent of Milwaukee lives on or below the poverty line, according to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. Milwaukee Public Schools have a graduation rate of only 62.8 percent. The unemployment rate in Milwaukee is 7.2 percent, which is almost two percentage points higher than the national unemployment rate. There are too many real problems facing Milwaukee to waste taxpayer’s money paying for the venue of
a private, for-profit corporation whose value mostly lies in entertainment. Marc Lasry and Wes Edens both run hedge funds in New York City. Lasry is worth $1.7 billion and Edens is worth more than $1.2 billion. They could pay for the arena by themselves and still have a combined net worth higher than the GDP of 70 countries. Besides, the NBA’s TV contract is about to increase from $930 million per year to $2.66 billion per year. Add to that figure things like gate revenues, merchandise sales, naming rights, and the profits that will come from the NBA’s increasing global reach, and it’s almost a guarantee that Lasry and Edens will recoup their money plus a whole lot more. Milwaukee isn’t asking them to be Mother Theresa; its asking them to pay for their own investment. In a larger sense, this struggle isn’t just about the Bucks’ new stadium. It’s about how billionaire owners have conned America’s taxpayers into paying for their opulent sports palaces for so long that we’ve just accepted it as a fact of life. This shouldn’t happen. While stadiums do provide some economic benefits to their surrounding areas, most of the profits go directly to the team and the NBA. Why should the rest of Wisconsin have to pay for it?

Tennis teams fall short of Big East championships Men’s team downed by Hoyas, women’s team swept by DePaul By Jacob Born
jacob.born@marquette.edu
The Marquette men’s and women’s tennis teams both left Indianapolis without the Big East Championship trophy. The women’s team was swept by DePaul in the semifinals, while the men’s team fell two points short of the trophy against St. John’s. Both teams opened up Friday against lower seeds and both teams came away with victories. The men’s team defeated Creighton 4-2 and the women swept Georgetown 4-0. The men’s side started off the match against Creighton with a loss in doubles play and entered singles play down 1-0. Senior Cameron Tehrani tied it for Marquette with his 6-0, 6-3 win at No. 6 and then junior Daniel Fernandez gave the Golden Eagles the lead with a 6-1, 6-4 win at No. 1, a lead which the Golden Eagles never surrendered. No. 4 sophomore Kristiyan Trukov padded the lead with his 6-4, 6-4 win, but the Bluejays got within one with their 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 win at No. 3. But senior Vukasin Teofanovic secured the victory with his 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 win at No. 2. With the win, the Golden Eagles moved on to face Georgetown in the semifinals. The women’s team opened up
the tournament against Georgetown and battled to a 4-0 win. In doubles play, Marquette opened up with a win at No. 1, but lost in No. 3, pitting the point on the No. 2 spot. The duo of Ali Dawson/Aleeza Kanner barley pushed past Georgetown, winning the point 8-7 (7-5). In singles play, the Hoyas continued to challenge, but Marquette responded every time. Junior Erin Gebes cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 2 and senior Vanessa Foltinger put Marquette up 3-0 with a 6-1, 6-3 win at No. 6. Sophomore Diana Tokar completed the sweep with her 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 3. However, the momentum was short-lived, as the women’s team was swept by DePaul in Saturday’s matchup. DePaul won the doubles point relatively easily and dominated the Golden Eagles in singles play. The Blue Demons won their four points without losing a single set. Tokar’s game, the only Golden Eagle to win a set, went unfinished as DePaul claimed the victory before her spot was decided. DePaul went on to win the Big East Championship for the second straight year. For the men’s team, Saturday’s match against Georgetown went as good as it could have. Marquette opened the match with a pair of 8-5 wins in doubles to win the point, then nearly recorded a clean sheet in singles play. Junior Nick Dykema started singles play with a 6-4, 6-2 win at No. 3 and Tehrani put Marquette up 3-0 with his 6-4, 6-0 win at No. 6. Teofanovic lost the Golden
Eagles’ clean sheet when he lost his first set 1-6, but finished the point 6-2, 6-4 to complete the sweep. The win pushed Marquette to its first ever Big East Championship game. In the title match, the Golden Eagles faced reigning champions St. John’s. The Red Storm started off the match with an 8-5 win in the No. 1 and No. 3 spots to take the doubles point. In singles play, St. John’s built
on the lead with a 7-5, 6-2 win against Fernandez at No. 1. But the Golden Eagles battled back, with Trukov winning the No. 4 spot 7-6, 6-3 and junior Mackenzie Stearns winning No. 5 7-5, 6-0 to tie the score at two. The Red Storm regained the lead with a 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 victory against Dykema at No. 3. To seal the win, St. John’s defeated Teofanovic 5-7, 6-3, 6-1 to give the Red Storm back-to-back titles.
“I am extremely proud of the way our guys battled all weekend long,” coach Steve Rodecap told GoMarquette.com. “We didn’t get off to a great start in doubles, but I thought we played well in singles. Unfortunately we came up just short, but it was a great experience for our guys to see what it takes to win a championship.” The men’s side finished the season 14-10, while the women’s team finished 12-11.

Men’s lax downed by Denver Pioneers jump out to 13-1 advantage in regular season finale By Hank Greening

Redshirt junior defenseman B.J. Grill and the Golden Eagles will need to recover from a bad loss to Denver while preparing for the Big East Tournament.
The Marquette men’s lacrosse team could not manage to send its seniors off with a victory and a share of the Big East title Saturday, as the Golden Eagles fell to No. 5 Denver Pioneers 18-11. It was the last home game for five seniors: K.C. Kennedy, Travis Schelhorn, Pat Townsend, Logan Tousaw and Jordan Greenfield. “Denver is a better lacrosse team than Marquette right now,” Marquette coach Joe Amplo said. “We didn’t have enough to run with them for 60 minutes.” Marquette (10-5, 3-2) was paced in scoring by top scorer Greenfield and redshirt junior midfielder Kyle Whitlow, each of whom recorded a hat trick on the day. Denver (102, 5-0) increased its win streak to seven and was led in scoring by its top two scorers Wesley Berg, with four goals, and Connor Cannizzaro with three. Cannizzaro leads the Big East in goals (3.00) and points per game (4.92) and is ranked in the top 10 nationally in both categories. But perhaps Denver’s most important player on the day was freshman faceoff specialist Trevor Baptiste. Baptiste leads the country in faceoff percentage, winning an astronomical 72.1 percent of his faceoffs on the year. Baptiste won 18 of the 26 draws he took Saturday. The only two quarters in which Marquette outscored Denver, they also won the faceoff battle, proving the circle was where the game was won and lost. “Well (the difference was) obviously the faceoff kid (Baptiste),” junior Conor Gately said. “He’s one of the best in the country.” Denver opened the game on a 3-0 run, which was snapped when Gately found Whitlow for Marquette’s first goal of the game with 10:31 to go in the first quarter. But Denver responded in resounding fashion, scoring 10 straight goals in nearly 20 minutes of play, taking a 13-1 lead. The Golden Eagles were silent during this stretch and had no answer for the Pioneers until they scored three straight near the end of the first half and headed into the locker room down 13-4. Marquette had some opportunities to net a few more, but turnovers and great saves by Denver’s Ryan LaPlante kept the Golden Eagles grounded. Marquette managed seven second-half goals, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the highoctane Denver offense. The loss sealed Marquette’s fate as the No. 3 seed in the Big East conference tournament, which will be played at Villanova Thursday. Marquette will take on Georgetown, whom the Golden Eagles nearly beat after erasing a six-goal second-half deficit, but lost 10-9 on March 21. “I expect a hard-fought game,” Amplo said of the Hoyas. “They’re very good, they were giving it to us early in that game and we fought back... I would anticipate a one-goal game again.” The Golden Eagles take on Georgetown at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the Big East Tournament semifinal.
