Blackout: Sites shut down for day in protest
Wikipedia leads charge against Internet legislation By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
Major websites such as Wikipedia, Reddit, Twitpic and Mozilla went black yesterday in protest of the proposed PIPA and SOPA bills, which seek to protect copyrighted materials but have raised controversy because of their suggested implementation. SOPA (H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act), are attempts to stop websites from being able to host and share copyrighted materials without permission. Websites suspected of “infringement activities” could face

The bills would protect content providers like Hollywood against copyright infringements including illegal reproduction or distribution of works like motion pictures, music and computer programs. SOPA would protect works including computer programs, musical works, motion pictures or other audiovisual works. This means websites such as YouTube, with a large share of user-produced content including song covers of copyrighted material, would be in jeopardy. The blackouts were intended to illustrate the possible effects if the bills were passed, many websites would simply have to shut down because they could no longer See SOPA, page 7

Aurora Sinai Medical Center might be forced to slash services after accumulating over $107 million in debt.
Aurora Sinai Medical Center could be closing its doors to nearly 600,000 Milwaukee residents if it cannot find a way to counter the loss of funds it has experienced in the past year. These losses aren’t new, though. According to an email statement sent by Mike Brophy, Aurora Health Care’s chief communication officer, the deficits have accumulated to more than $107 million in the last 10 years, with $20 million in 2011 alone and another $30 million projected loss for 2012. Brophy describes the reason for such high losses as a combination of the “stagnant economy, an eroding payer mix and lower inpatient volumes.” While last year may have been the most significant loss for the center, it was not the first time it has been recognized by the local media. According to an article by Corrinne Hess in the Milwaukee Business Journal, Sinai was one of three area hospitals that were unable to increase their net income in 2009 out of 19
total institutions. The question now is whether the center will close its doors or remain open with limited services. Either situation could mean a substantial drop in inner-city healthcare services in the near future. If Sinai closes, then patients — the majority of whom are on Medicaid and Medicare — would be forced to rely on other local hospitals like Wheaton Franciscan’s St. Joseph, located on 5000 W. Chambers St., or Columbia St. Mary’s, 2311 N. Prospect Ave. Brophy said no final decision has been made, but the hospital will still be providing inpatient services until the outcome is revealed at the end of the year. “Aurora operates as an integrated system where services and facilities that operate at a loss are supported by others that have a more favorable financial position,” he said. Some facilities that would help to pick up some of Aurora Sinai’s slack include Aurora Family Services, Walker’s Point Free Clinic and Healing Center along with the Aurora Visiting Nurse Association. With Sinai’s location just off campus on North 12th Street, Marquette students benefit from its proximity. There’s concern about how the hospital
closing will affect Marquette as a clinical site for nursing students and as an emergency service. Margaret Callahan, Dean of the College of Nursing, said Aurora Sinai plays a vital role in serving the city’s downtown and on-campus population. “The hospital’s comprehensive services are essential for our neighborhood and for our students — many of whom reside just blocks away from the hospital,” Callahan said. “We remain hopeful that this critical resource will be available well into the future.” Keli Wollmer, physician assistant and clinical coordinator for Student Health Services (SHS) said transportation for students requiring urgent care could become an issue. “Logistically, it is just a difference in how services are accessed,” Wollmer said. Wollmer said that in the past, students have primarily needed referrals to Sinai for emergencies and X-rays. For now, limited X-ray services are being implemented at SHS. The next closest options for urgent care needs are Aurora Urgent Care Center on 946 N. Van Buren and Columbia St. Mary’s Urgent Care Center located on 734 N. Jackson St.

New site helps home and business owners track usage By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu
McGee Young, Marquette political science professor, and local programmer David Snopek with a team of undergraduate and graduate students recently launched a social entrepreneurship program in Milwaukee named H2OScore, which seeks to solve the problems of water awareness through the use of current web data and social media sites. The idea was born when Young challenged his students to think about problem-solving strategies related to fresh water but found they lacked basic understanding regarding the issue. “I had a hypothesis that Marquette students would be excited about incorporating a class project into an issue that can really make a difference,” Young said. Students involved in the program, like Lydia Bruegge, a graduate of the College of Business Administration, said the initiative began spring semester 2011 in Young’s water politics class, which was comprised of 25 students. “I loved McGee’s class and thought that this was an issue that won’t be going away anytime soon. It’s our duty to preserve the resources we have for future generations,” Bruegge said. H2OScore is one of the only
social entrepreneurship programs offered for college students throughout the nation, Young said. To fund H20Score, Young paid primarily out-of-pocket because he felt it was a cause that would generate motivation for change. However, since then, donations have served to extend the longevity of the program. While H2OScore was once mainly comprised of working graduating seniors, Young is convinced the initiative will live on to see more students jump at the opportunity. Young said creating an efficient website was also important to the success and recruitment of the project. “We wanted to create a tool that was simple, yet effective to raise awareness of water issues currently and potentially upcoming,” Bruegge said. “Project H2OScore and h2oscore.com was born.” Bruegge said the original website was not aesthetically pleasing, which consequently drove the team to find David Snopek, an experienced programmer, to build a functioning — and more appealing — site by the semester’s close. The web page name — H2OScore — is derived from a system in which homeowners, business owners and others are provided with pertinent data and numbers concerning their water consumption and how to maintain resource sustainability. The web page hosts an interactive setup allowing users to subscribe to the H2O blog to learn
more about the initiative and even gauge their own efficiency by taking test which questions household size and typical water consumption. “People are always shocked how much water they use,” Young said. “The average person uses 100 gallons per day.” Bruegge said H2OScore uses multiple media to deliver their message to the public including meeting with the Milwaukee Water Council and other groups to promote conserving water. The program has further expanded on Marquette’s campus as Young announced on one h20score.com video interview that many students participated in H20Score’s business interest while involved in Marquette’s Entrepreneurship Week earlier this year. “I think at Marquette specifically we can be really good at this sort of thing,” Young said. “We have a great faculty, great students and are generally comprised of people who want to make a difference and make things better.” Bruegge echoed Young’s statement in saying her passion to make change and inform the public has made her experience at H2OScore. “Being a part of a start-up atmosphere has been something really new for me,” Bruegge said. “Seeing other people also get excited about something you firmly believe in — and in return want to help your idea and business grow — is really rewarding.”
If running a washer or dishwasher, make sure to use a full load. Shower instead of taking a full-tub bath, which can use up to five times as much water. Recycle and watch what you put in the trash to avoid water pollution. If waiting for water to heat up, save the water that was running for other purposes. Buy an aerated faucet, which can save you up to 50% in water consumption. Source: H20Score.com

Prison ‘college’ known for its bars
Conman accused of promoting fake school from jail By Matt Gozun
benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu
It was surprising enough for Marquette students to learn the man in charge of their university would live among them in Campus Town East. Imagine learning he lives in a prison cell—and your university is a fraud. That’s the scam tried by Kenneth Shong, 45, an inmate at the Oshkosh Correctional Institution. On Tuesday, Shong appeared in a Winnebago County court on charges of fraudulent writings, accused of running a fraudulent degree mill from prison. According to court documents, Shong approached fellow OCI inmate Kenneth Fleming about enrolling with the fictional Carlingford University after Shong discovered that he was interested in studying to become a paralegal. Shong showed Fleming a catalogue detailing the “school’s” programs and convinced him that Carlingford was accredited. After having his mother pay $1740.50 in tuition, Fleming received three textbooks and began to receive coursework, but he started to become suspicious after noticing delays in receiving his grades and further lessons. Fleming later discovered that Carlingford was not accredited at all, and
eventually filed a consumer complaint in August 2008 to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Documents also revealed that Shong used other inmates to help advance his scheme. David Kaster, another OCI inmate, was approached by Shong, who asked him to help expand Carlingford’s presence after his release from prison. According to Kaster, Shong told him that he bought Carlingford when he lived in Greece and moved it from Ireland to the United Kingdom and that he wanted to raise Carlingford’s profile in the United States by establishing regional training centers across the country. Kaster then opened a post office box in Green Bay for the new “regional training center” from which he received applications and correspondence from duped students. He also worked to maintain Carlingford’s website before being told to close Carlingford’s bank accounts and P.O. boxes by his probation officer after being informed that Carlingford was not a legitimate institution. Shong’s criminal history goes back over twenty years. In 1988, he was convicted of three felony charges, but was paroled in 1993. In 2002, he was arrested in Vanuatu and extradited to the United States and convicted of federal tax evasion. According to a Jan. 11 article by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Shong spent much of his life as a Cyprus diplomat, a position that nation has described as only honorary.

Democrat Falk launches Committee seeks formal challenge to Walker inspirational read Labor unions wooed by former Dane County Executive By Scott Bauer The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Democrat widely viewed as a union favorite emerged Wednesday to challenge Gov. Scott Walker, a day after petition circulators spurred by anger over the Republican’s moves against organized labor said they submitted more than enough signatures to force a recall election. Kathleen Falk’s announcement was the first in a likely series of decisions by potential Democratic challengers to Walker now that recall petitions are in the hands of election officials. An influx of candidates would mean Democrats would have to hold a primary, pushing any election against Walker back another month. Unions have been active in the recall campaign, which was driven by opposition to Walker’s proposal passed last year that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for nearly all public sector workers. Having union support doesn’t always translate directly into a win, however, and some rifts between union leaders and one potential Democratic candidate have already emerged. Falk, who had led a procession of activists to the state elections board office to file the paperwork starting the recall petition drive, is well-known in Madison, where she served as Dane County executive for more than a decade. She lost in the Democratic primary for governor in 2002 and in a run for attorney general in 2006. She catered her announcement Wednesday to union members, saying Walker launched an “allout attack on the longstanding rights of teachers, nurses, snowplow drivers and workers who have bargained fairly.” Walker’s spokeswoman said Falk was “hand-picked by biggovernment, public employee union bosses.” Spokeswoman Ciara Matthews branded Falk as a two-time loser and said she would “take Wisconsin back to the days of record job loss, massive deficits, and double

Selection committee looks for books that emphasize vocational discernment and connect with freshman audience.
First-year reading program continues for incoming class By Ben McCormick benjamin.mccormick@marquette.edu
The first academic assignment for the Marquette class of 2016 is already in the works. The selection committee for first-year student reading is back at work to find the next book to be read by incoming freshman over the summer and discussed at orientation before the fall semester. Susan Mountin, director of Manresa for Faculty at Marquette and book selection committee member, said the process usually begins with 20 to 25 books after receiving nominations from the Marquette community over winter break. The selection for last year’s class was “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore. “We narrow it down and then eventually get it to a reasonable number that we’re assigned to read, like one or two texts and then we do an evaluative process,” Mountin said. Narrowing the list from its original titles begins with taking basic practical considerations, including the book’s availability in paperback, a living author and its length, which the committee prefers to be under 300 pages, Mountin said. Another important criterion is the book must have a theme students can relate to. “We’re looking at something that would resonate with the experience of an 18, 19 year old, something that would focus on questions of, ‘Who am I?’ ‘Where is my place in the world?’ ‘What choices am I making?’ ‘What are my values?’” Mountin said. Vocational discernment — the search for deeper meaning in the lives of themselves and others — was a founding principle of the Manresa Project, the group that took charge of the first-year reading program when it started in
2002, said Kate Trevey, assistant dean for leadership and vocation programs and selection committee member. When funding waned for the Manresa Project, the Office of the Provost took over expenses for the first-year reading program, which include paying for all of the books and individually shipping them to every new Marquette student. “As the grant ended … the program continues to evolve, but at the same time stays true to the roots of why it started,” Trevey said. “(The first-year reading program) has this dual connection to help students enter into the academic experience of college life right from the beginning … but also trying to elevate these themes of vocational discernment right away.” Mountin is excited by how faculty members have embraced the first-year reading program by integrating selections into their classes. “I think there’s a desire among the faculty to have it more coordinated so that it does become not just the one-day experience for orientation, but they can work it in (class) if it fits what they’re doing in their classes,” she said. The first-year reading program is also the first opportunity students have to experience Marquette in an academic setting. “This is the first chance that a student has to be with a faculty member in a conversation and I hope it kind of sets a grounding for the rest of their experience as a student at Marquette,” said Mountin. Vince Beacom, a freshman in the College of Engineering, enjoyed what the first-year reading program had to offer. “I loved (“The Other Wes Moore”). I thought it was a really good book and to be honest I haven’t read a lot of books coverto-cover because they don’t hold my interest, but that book did,” he said. Mountin said a decision on the next selection will be made by April.

Initial primaries shrink GOP presidential field Front-runner Mitt Romney faces key South Carolina vote By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu
The 2012 Republican primary race heated up over break, with the candidate pool shrinking as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney took his place as the de facto front-runner. Romney’s status comes from his success in both contests held thus far. In Iowa on Jan. 3, Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum both claimed victory in a virtual dead heat, with Romney beating Santorum by .1 percent. Then, in New Hampshire, Romney won the primary outright with 39 percent of the vote, beating second-place finisher Ron Paul who had 23 percent. And despite a promising thirdplace finish in New Hampshire with 17 percent of the vote, Jon Huntsman, former Governor of Utah and ambassador to China under President Barack Obama, dropped out of the race Monday and endorsed Romney. “It’s now time for our party to unite around the candidate best equipped to beat Barack Obama,” Huntsman said Monday at a news conference in South Carolina. But even with Romney continuing to come out on top in primaries and other polls, the fluctuation in primary placings among candidates like Santorum, Paul and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich provide an insight into how conservative voters are still unsure of what they are looking for in a Republican presidential candidate. Julia Azari, assistant professor of political science at Marquette, said that this may be because many Republicans are still uncomfortable with Romney as a nominee. Romney has been the recipient of scrutiny from

conservatives because of “flipflopping” on issues such as abortion and health care coverage, as well as being accused of being “out of touch” with the average American due to his wealth. She added his successes in the primaries thus far still show him as the candidate to beat. “Romney has won an unprecedented consecutive victory in Iowa and New Hampshire, which makes him look like a very strong candidate,” Azari said. “The party’s main bases of support rely on the South, and to some extent the noncoastal West, yet Iowa and New Hampshire may prove decisive in the nomination.”w The next primary will take place in South Carolina on Jan. 21.

January term study a popular draw at other universities By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu
If you’re a student who’s complained that Marquette’s winter break is too long, you might be envious of schools with a “Jterm.” During a J-term, or January term, students take one intensive course for three to four weeks either on campus or abroad. Courses offered during J-terms tend to fulfill students’ basic requirements. Gary Meyer, vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching, said he does not remember the topic of a January term coming up in administrative meetings during his time at Marquette but said just because J-terms have not been discussed does not mean Marquette would never have one. “If there was demand and interest (in a J-term), I would be open to talking about it,” Meyer said. Meyer said if Marquette added a J-term, it would fall in the two weeks between New Year’s and the start of spring semester. “We could offer two-week courses as long as the courses could be prepared and delivered meeting the high expectations at Marquette,” Meyer said. Most January terms last four weeks at other colleges and universities, but Meyer said the logistics wouldn’t work. “We do not have four weeks (in the academic calendar),” Meyer said. “We just don’t.” He said one of the most difficult parts of adding a J-term at Marquette would be creating the courses. “It would need to be an undertaking of the entire faculty to develop courses that could be taught over a two week term,” Meyer said. Some summer courses that last three or four weeks have already been developed. He said he thinks it would be difficult to engage deeply in a topic in such a short time span.
One university that offers fourweek J-terms is the University of St. Thomas, a Catholic university in St. Paul, Minn. Terence Langan, dean of St. Thomas’ College of Arts and Sciences, said of their 6,000 undergraduates, about 900 study abroad during their J-term while another 1,700 are taking a class on campus. Langan said the university has added many more January offerings in recent years to keep up with the growing demand. Kara Audette, a St. Thomas sophomore, is taking a Spanish course over her J-term, working toward her Spanish major. Most J-term classes at St. Thomas meet four days a week for three hours. Audette’s Spanish class is partially online, so they meet only twice a week for two hours. “Since an entire semester is fit into four weeks, J-term classes demand more self-discipline in terms of out-of-class work,” Audette said. “Professors expect you to prepare for their class for the majority of time you spend outside of class.” Audette said it is common for St. Thomas students to study abroad during J-term, so campus is noticeably less crowded. Jterm is optional so many students spend the time at home or working. She also said dining hall options are limited which makes it difficult for students living in the dorms. Meyer said he would prefer to see more study abroad options during winter break over a potential J-term. He said more students would study abroad if there was a J-term so they would not have to leave Marquette for an entire semester or need to give up working or an internship over summer. “Students want to do it all and sometimes it just doesn’t work,” Meyer said. Molly Mullane, a junior in the College of Communication, said she would want to study abroad during a January term, precisely because of its abbreviated length. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable studying abroad for a semester,” Mullane said. “While studying abroad during the summer is a great option, many students don’t want to give up internships.”

Checkmarq is the bane of my existence. Tuesday, the first day of classes for my last semester of college, was more stressful than my first day of college three and a half years ago — because I had no idea which classes I was taking. I enrolled more than a month ago. Yet I woke up Tuesday morning with only a vague hope of my graduation status. I knew I needed five classes to graduate with a double major in journalism and political science. I also knew that somehow I had managed to mess that up. On Monday night, I discovered that one of my scheduled classes did not count for what I needed it to. I had room in my schedule but not enough classes to fill it with, meaning I would be one class shy of graduating with my two majors. Cue banging head against nearest wall. Since Checkmarq is an internet server, it did little to console me. I knew I needed human help to solve my dilemma, or at least to be sympathetic when I learned my degree would be different than what I planned for. For some reason, meeting with professors always makes me very anxious. I feel incredibly sophomoric when I request a meeting, always anticipating the absolute worst. By the time I arrive at office hours, I have worked out a whole scenario, which usually goes like this: Department Chair: Hello you moronic second semester senior, how can I help you? Me: Could you look at my schedule and make sure that I will graduate in May? Department Chair: If you cannot figure it out yourself, then you cannot graduate, you fool! In such fantasies, I always end
up weeping. Obviously, the real meeting went much smoother. My advisers were more than willing to meet with me to talk about options to ensure a May graduation, but I still swapped classes four times in the past three days. My double major involves two colleges on opposite sides of campus, so my ever-helpful advisers do not know each other or the other college’s requirements. This –– combined with my complete incompetence regarding Checkmarq and the outdated class numbering system in my class bulletin –– meant my class schedule was flipping around more than the halftime show gymnasts at Monday’s Marquette basketball game. I have been using Checkmarq for eight semesters now. I should be able to figure it out, I know. My impending graduation should not be held in the balance because I read Checkmarq incorrectly. With my ineptitude at managing my scholarly pursuits, I understand if you have no sympathy for me. Luckily, the department chairs did have sympathy. Apparently, this is a common issue: mandatory classes in opposite colleges with conflicting times and a lack of alternative options leave many students scrambling to meet their graduation requirements. Professors are asked to give permission numbers which means larger class sizes, and students are dropping and adding classes left and right. Syllabus week is a total mess. Marquette’s size is beneficial in that we can have smaller classes and personal advisers. It is outstanding that Checkmarq outlines graduation requirements and that advisers have access to that. Yet the size of our university also means that only a few classes are offered every semester, and these classes have a limited number of spots. This means that students have to be accountable for their academic planning and success. That said, it’s great to know that when — not if — we falter, we go to a university where there’s someone to help when we ask. kelly.white@marquette.edu

GETTING IN THE
SPIRIT FOR SKETCH COMEDY
‘Bye Bye Liver’ intoxicates crowd with laughs

“Bye Bye Liver” celebrates its two year anniversary in Milwaukee this week.
By Vanessa Harris vanessa.harris@marquette.edu
Milwaukee knows a thing about drinking – it’s kind of its niche. When you’re named America’s third drunkest city by The Daily Beast, it’s only expected that memories (if you’re lucky), regrets and future inside jokes accompany nights of bar hopping and beer chugging. The transformation from a responsible sober individual to a giant inebriated adult baby is a moment almost everyone has experienced. Alcohol fuels the good times – and sometimes the disasters – that go hand and hand with a night out. All of the experiences that make people cringe, cry and giggle while drinking were the inspiration behind “Bye Bye Liver,” the interactive comedy sketch show celebrating its two year anniversary on Saturday, January 21 at ComedySportz Garage Theatre. Byron Hatfield, the original writer and director of “Bye Bye Liver,” did not intend to write the sketch show in the beginning.
Hatfield, originally from Nashville, Tenn., moved to Chicago to pursue theater and sketch comedy and in December of 2006 found himself working on a number of various projects. With only weeks to complete one particular piece, Hatfield decided to use his crunch time wisely and created “Bye Bye Liver.” The opportunity gave him the chance to incorporate sketch comedy and drinking games — a combination that has proven itself to be very successful. “Sketch comedy is a gateway drug to theater,” Hatfield said. “Theater is so compelling. It’s better than anything on television. I wanted something that could compete with TV and movies.” Unlike going to a movie theater or sitting in front of a television screen, “Bye Bye Liver” brings an eclectic mix of live games and jokes that entertains audiences no matter how sober or drunk they may be.

“Bye Bye Liver’s” satire makes it easy for even the most casual drinkers to laugh. In the nightlife subculture, everyone can recognize the angry drunks, party girls and jerk bouncer who all have a role when it comes to connecting the dots of what happened last night. “Bye Bye Liver” has fun helping some relive those epiphanies. Apart from weekly Saturday evening shows, “Bye Bye Liver” will be kicking off its third year by using its newfound success and alcohol-driven themes to promote awareness for liver disease. In February, Milwaukee will be a part of Bye Bye Liver’s Nationwide Prohibition Pub Crawl. Participants will be able to enjoy themselves while also donating time or money to an important cause. Along with the pub crawl, “Bye Bye Liver” hopes to continue expanding and improving its brand. A new website centered on drinking is due out soon, and possibilities of filming performances are in the works. “Everybody likes to drink and laugh, and we love making people laugh.” Hatfield said.

Sat. Nite Duets kick the year off with a high note Local band’s fun energy makes up for sloppy audio By Liz McGovern elizabeth.mcgovern@marquette.edu
After emerging from holiday food comas feeling well-rested, the idea of doing work again can be daunting. Luckily, the Sat. Nite Duets performance at Turner
Hall Ballroom on Saturday sideswiped any back-to-school blues, capping the end of break and kicking off the 2012 school year on a high note. The Milwaukee natives’ following has grown rapidly over the past two years. The band has been featured on CNN Radio and in GQ and just finished their national Winter of Nourishment tour. Sat. Nite Duets have maintained a close connection to their roots, saving their album release party for their latest effort, “Summer of Punishment,”
for their hometown turf. Turner Hall’s overall acoustics with the band’s simple equipment made the lyrics particularly difficult to distinguish, and it was unfortunately tough to differentiate one song from another. The overall experience of the show would have been improved immensely if the sound quality was better. Even so, some of the songs had a high energy and guitar thrashing beat that kept the band members on their toes and the audience on their feet. “Endless Summer of Love” reminisced about long awkward adolescent years, while “Don’t You Love Me, Baby?” was harsh and angry.

In between songs, lead singer/ keyboardist Joshua Evert paused and pointed to the shark in the rafters. “Oh no. Uh, where’d the shark go?” Evert asked as the crowd snickered. Even though their lyrics were hard to make out, Sat. Nite Duets were a fun act that continues to embody Milwaukee’s passion for local music and intimate concerts. We highly suggest you pick up “Summer of Punishment,” if you haven’t already, and get the full experience, lyrics and all.

This week marked the end of a long and relaxing winter break. And while it was nice not to worry about homework and making it to class on time, it’s so good to be back on campus. I loved going to Caff’s Thursday, Friday and Saturday to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in a month, cheering on the men’s basketball team to a victory over Louisville in a packed Bradley Center, and checking D2L Monday at midnight to see who is in my classes (everyone does that, right?). Yep, as much as I love being at home with my parents, I’m so glad to be back. But after a weekend of Sobelman’s and Jimmy Johns, I realized I had nothing to eat in my apartment except a couple boxes of Rice-A-Roni. So I hit the grocery store, walked through the aisles and picked out the usual: bread, peanut butter, bagels and cream cheese, ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, salad, lunch meat, eggs, cheese and more cheese (this is Wisconsin, people). I love food, but I’m ashamed of my cooking skills or definite lack thereof. How could I forget about this part of college life after only a month of being away? And just like that, I miss being at home with my parents. Home-cooked meals are possibly my favorite part of breaks, especially because my parents like to cook good ol’ comfort food: spaghetti and meatballs, pork roast, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, chili and massive breakfasts of French toast, eggs and most importantly, bacon. Now I know these are not nearly the most complicated dishes on the face of the earth, but I truly have no ability to cook, and I’m not even trying to be funny
when I say that. And with all the wintery weather we’ve been experiencing (finally!), I am in serious need of some warm, starchy comfort food. Unfortunately, I was unable to convince my parents to come up and cook for me on a daily basis, and, with my busy schedule, I can’t really spare the time it takes to drive home for dinner every night. That left me with either hiring a personal chef or exploring local restaurants and cafés to satisfy my cravings. Since I am a very broke and in-debt college student, I had to go with the latter. In my quest to find delicious comfort food on a budget, I realized Milwaukee chefs truly embrace my favorite kind of meals. Comet Café and Honeypie, owned by the same wonderful folks, and Beans & Barley and Hotch-A-Do are four great places to get delicious, filling food on a tight budget. Comet Café, which specializes in from-scratch comfort food and craft beers, is known for its massive meatloaf sandwich ($10) which includes a generous slice of bacon-wrapped meatloaf topped with mashed potatoes, grilled tomato, onion and bacon served open faced on salted rye bread with beer gravy. If that isn’t comfort food, then I don’t know what is. If you prefer more vegetarian- and vegan-friendly options, Beans & Barley is the place to go. My favorites are their crisply baked burritos that fall in the affordable price range of $5 to $8. Right across the street you’ll find the warm and quaint HotchA-Do. Serving everything from French toast to soups and sandwiches to a fabulous weekend fish fry, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Honeypie, Comet’s counterpart, is known more for its hearty breakfast options served Monday through Friday until 3 p.m. and its special weekend brunch menu that’s perfect for curing even the most awful hangover. So if you’re missing warm, home-cooked meals from mom and dad as much as I am, hop on a bus and check one of these places out. Your homesickness will be cured as soon as you take a bite. sarah.elms@marquette.edu

Three cinematic diamonds shine in rough year Clooney, Gosling stand out in a year of mediocre films By Matt Mueller matthew.mueller@marquette.edu
It’s fair to say that 2011 was not exactly a banner year for film. The box office dropped a little over 3 percent overall, and the total tickets sold dropped even more. Some may point toward the rise of fancy home theater systems, moving movie theaters even more toward oblivion. The most popular theory, however, is that the movies themselves are just not very good. But saying there were no good movies this year is like saying there were no good books. Though there was plenty of dreck to go around in 2011, there were also several films that offered the kind of compelling characters, strong emotions and memorable images only movies can provide. Here are three cinematic diamonds in a rough 2011. Honorable mentions go out to Jonathan Levine’s “50/50” and Pedro Almodovar’s “The Skin I Live In.”
#3 “The Descendants”
Photo via Ad Hominem Enterprises
In the last shot of Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants,” the King family gathers together on the couch to watch “March of the Penguins” and swap ice cream. Besides Morgan Freeman’s godlike narration, it’s a completely wordless scene, but yet it speaks volumes to the emotional journey the characters, as well as the audience, have gone on in the past two hours. Payne and fellow co-writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash beautifully capture the seemingly unbearable challenges of family, as well as the even greater rewards. George Clooney is the frontrunner for the Best Actor Oscar right now and deservedly so. He strips away most of his “Ocean’s Eleven” bravado and becomes a man overcome by the weight of his relationships. The script often
sets up Clooney’s character for easy and trite victories, such as a confrontation with his cheating wife’s father, but instead takes the quieter and emotionally sensitive path. There’s no big fistfight or confrontation that neatly provides easy satisfaction in “The Descendants,” but it’s somehow more satisfying that way.
#2
#1 “Drive”
“Hugo”

Anyone who has ever watched a movie will find Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” utterly enchanting. The movie starts off as a whimsical Oliver Twist-like adventure, following a young French orphan named Hugo who runs the clocks in a train station. His story then weaves gracefully into the story of Georges Melies, one of the first true visionaries of film. Hugo’s story is charmingly told, aided by newcomer Asa Butterfield’s surprisingly solid performance, but the movie truly comes alive when it focuses on Melies and his work. Scorsese, who is famous for his work in restoring and maintaining film’s history, creates a beautifully loving tribute to Melies and the power of the cinema that could move even the most heartless of filmgoers. Best Picture front-runner “The Artist” covers similar ground, but whereas “The Artist” buries itself in Hollywood’s past and homage, “Hugo” embraces the past while also equally creating something new and embracing film’s development in the past 100 years. It also proved that 3D could be used effectively, which is almost as miraculous as proving the existence of the tooth fairy.
It seems fitting that the number one movie of 2011 would star the year’s most omnipresent actor, Ryan Gosling. In a four-month span, Gosling appeared in three mainstream releases, none of them more memorable than the slick noir “Drive.” The young actor delivers a highly nuanced performance as the nameless driver who gets suckered into helping his neighbor’s husband with a robbery. Inevitably, things go wrong, and our hero must bloodily tie up the crime’s loose ends. In a time when quick cuts and non-stop action artificially attempt to get audiences thrilled, “Drive” shows most mainstream films how to really get pulses going. Director Nicolas Winding Refn, who previously directed “Inception’s” Tom Hardy in the wildly insane biopic,
“Bronson,” makes every scene unbearably intense. With the minimal dialogue, each word, action and reaction carries so much weight. It’s certainly a slow burn thriller, which only makes the abrupt moments of violence, such as when Gosling performs an exceptionally angry Riverdance on a hitman’s head, even more brutal and shocking. In a year filled with generic thrillers and dramas, “Drive” still haunts my memory. Its direction, story and performances, including a chillingly vicious turn by “Finding Nemo’s” Albert Brooks, sizzle with endless intensity, and its style, featuring luxuriously composed shots and a catchy ’80s soundtrack, is strangely hypnotic. It’s a sleek, sexy and dangerous movie that still lives on the mind while most movies from 2011 are running on fumes.

Plouffe’s double-digit streak ends in defeat
Photo by Daniel Alfonzo/daniel.alfonzo@marquette.edu
Sophomore forward Katherine Plouffe recorded six points and 10 rebounds in the 67-39 loss to the No. 18/17 Georgetown Hoyas on Tuesday evening.
Golden Eagles held to season-low in points, field goals By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu
It’s no secret that as sophomore forward Katherine Plouffe goes, so too does the Marquette women’s basketball team (12-7, 3-3 Big East). When Plouffe plays well like she did last week, averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds in wins over Villanova and St. John’s, the Golden Eagles have a far
better chance of winning. When Plouffe is unable to get going offensively, as her six points on 2-for-7 shooting in Marquette’s 67-39 loss to No. 19/17 Georgetown on Tuesday night suggests, the Golden Eagles tend to struggle. While Plouffe certainly isn’t the only player to blame for Tuesday’s loss, she admitted afterwards that she was frustrated by the team’s performance. “I’m not so much frustrated by the points I scored, but more so by how myself and the team played as a whole,” Plouffe said. “We had prepared for (Georgetown) in practice, or so
we thought. Our coaches told us about the pressure, we watched film, and we just didn’t execute what we needed to execute.” While Plouffe did manage to haul in 10 rebounds to reach double digits in that category for the third consecutive game, her six points were her secondlowest point total of the season, after previously scoring two points in a 70-53 loss at Louisville on Jan. 3. Georgetown coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said that the Hoyas’ strategy was to try to get the ball out of Plouffe’s hands as much as possible. “Our game plan was to try to deny her as much as we can, and then when she did get the ball, to pressure her to get her to get rid of the ball,” Williams-Flournoy said. “I thought it worked pretty well. I thought Adria Crawford, number five, did a wonderful job on her, and then when we went zone, we emphasized getting in front of her.” Marquette did itself no favors offensively by turning the ball over 29 times and were held to a season low in points (39), field goals made (12) and field goal percentage (27.3 percent). In its previous game, a 6355 win at St. John’s on Sunday, Marquette shot 51 percent from the field, and got 18 points and 11 rebounds from Plouffe and 16 points on 5-of7 shooting from sophomore guard Katie Young. On Tuesday, Plouffe and Young combined for just nine points on 3-of-15 shooting. Many of the offensive deficiency and turnover issues can be attributed to Marquette’s young guards, but coach Terri Mitchell also attributed them to
Georgetown’s aggressive style of play on defense. “Give Georgetown a lot of credit. They played terrific defense and got us back on our heels,” Mitchell said. “Everyone was tentative with their shot. We were tentative with attacking, and that played right into Georgetown’s defense.” The Hoyas used a 20-3 run over an seven-minute span in the middle of the first half to essentially put the game out of reach and led 35-17 at halftime. The Golden Eagles entered Tuesday’s game ranked third in the Big East in field goal percentage (45.3 percent) and
tended to shoot the ball well despite turning the ball over 20.3 times per game. Mitchell said that this time, the turnovers caught up with them. “It was a whole game of no offensive rhythm at all, and that’s Georgetown,” Mitchell said. “They don’t let you get into a rhythm and I think they were really excellent at what they did tonight. “They (the Hoyas) played like the experienced players that they are, and we unfortunately played very young and it showed, and we didn’t respond like we should have.”

The Friars have been a common opponent for the Golden Eagles in recent years. In each of the past two seasons the teams have met twice, most recently in the second round of last year’s Big East Championship tournament. Marquette has won all four of those games by an average score of 87-68 and has won its last seven contests against the Friars. Still, the Golden Eagles won’t overlook anyone on the road. “I think coach (Ed) Cooley has done an incredible job,” Williams said of the Friars’ first-year coach. “I think they fight, I think they scrap, I think they change up all the time to keep you out of whack.” The Friars are expected to have junior guard Vincent Council back after the point guard sat out against No. 1/1 Syracuse for undisclosed reasons on Saturday. Council leads the Friars in points (16.4) and assists (6.7) and averages 16.3 points and 5.5 assists in four career games against Marquette. Wilson, who has provided valuable minutes on the defensive end, said stopping a player like Council is vital to slowing Providence’s offensive rhythm. See Foe, page 19
Matt Trebby Calum Mallace’s time at Marquette can be best described by one word: “change. As an All-State player in Minnesota and an All-Region selection, Mallace was one of the more decorated recruits in the Midwest when he started looking for schools, and had offers from programs including Notre Dame, Michigan, WisconsinMilwaukee and Cincinnati. But Calum’s brother, Craig, had played for Bennett and his associate head coach Stan Anderson at Milwaukee. So Calum and the family decided to remain loyal to the coaches who had helped one son already — a gutsy move, seeing as how Marquette had only won a single game the season before
his freshman year. Bennett said when Mallace chose Marquette, he wasn’t just choosing a school. Mallace was committing to more than that. “He committed to improving a program and creating a culture,” Bennett said. “When he realized it was even harder than he thought and he’d have to change a lot, he still committed to it.” The change Bennett spoke of wasn’t just about the program. It was change Calum himself had to make within his own game. Mallace loves to tackle. Just watch him for 90 minutes, and it’s evident. He’s an aggressive, feisty player. With that style can come trouble for players, and it came for Mallace. Not always, but when it did, he’d often lose his cool, lowering his level of play or requiring his removal from the field. Until now. Since the end of the 2010 season, the Scottish-born midfielder made the change, with Bennett’s help. See Changed, page 19

Season commences with lofty expectations Rodecap proclaims this may be toughest spring schedule yet By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu
The Marquette men’s tennis team begins its spring campaign Saturday at Minnesota, kicking off a season of high expectations. Coach Steve Rodecap said the Golden Eagles’ schedule is the toughest he’s seen in his eight years as head coach and could be the most challenging a Marquette team has ever faced. With that in mind, however, Rodecap sees the hard road ahead as an opportunity rather than a misfortune.
“This team has shown a lot of good things as far as dynamics, and I think they have some really good goals set for themselves,” Rodecap said. “I don’t give the guys their goals. They set them for themselves. We’re gonna have plenty of opportunities to be successful this year.” Senior Drake Kakar said this season’s goals are to finish the season ranked nationally and to be strong contenders for the Big East title. Spearheading a lineup of both seasoned veterans and raw talents will be sophomore Dan Mamalat and freshman standout Cameron Tehrani, both of whom led the Golden Eagles with a combined 17-7 singles record in the fall. With the likes of Michigan State, DePaul and
Drake looming ahead, senior Jonathan Schwerin believes that the Golden Eagles can climb to new heights after a solid fall showing. “Based on our fall performances, I think we really have a competitive team this year,” Schwerin said. “I think we can go undefeated at home, and by doing so we can bring the program to a level it hasn’t reached before.” Schwerin led the team’s senior class, posting a 6-4 singles record in the fall, while he and fellow senior Kakar spent most of their doubles play paired with freshmen Vukasin Teofanovic and David Packowitz. The mixing of classes in doubles, Kakar said, allowed for seniors to fill the position of mentor for the Golden Eagles’ newer faces, a role that Ka-
kar looks to continue to play this weekend and throughout the spring. “I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself as a senior to be a leader for the team and help show the younger guys how it’s done,” Kakar said. “We pride ourselves in developing the young guys, and I’m pretty confident that what they see from the rest of the upperclassmen and during practice this week and in our first match over the weekend will give them a good idea of what it takes to be successful players for our team.” Rodecap pointed to the fall performance of Teofanovic, who, despite posting a 4-7 singles record, came on strong towards the end of the season. “Vukasin had a really good fall for us, especially towards the end,” Rodecap said. “I expect
him to be a really strong force for us in the lineup and to have an impact in both singles and doubles right off the bat. At some point we are going to need those younger guys to step in and play matches for us.” Both the biggest boost and biggest challenge to the team’s lineup, Rodecap said, will be the return of junior Jose Carlos Gutierrez Crowley after missing much of the fall with an injured back. “Hopefully our biggest challenge is to see how Pepper (Gutierrez) comes back after two surgeries in a year and if he can get through a full season,” Rodecap said. “I think we’re going to be really good.”

Senior Jonathan Schwerin believes this squad can go undefeated at home during spring action which will earn MU recognition nationally.
The last time, Marquette’s women’s tennis team saw action was in October’s Kansas Fall Invitational in Lawrence, Kansas. In the fall, senior Gillian Hush picked up a win at the invitational and would do the same to kick off the 2012 spring season at the IU Winter Invitational on Jan. 14. It was there that Marquette faced off against Louisville, Missouri and host Indiana. Hush defeated Indiana’s freshman Carolyn Chupa, a high school All-American just a year
ago. Chupa was ranked 79th nationally entering the match, but she fell 6-4 and 6-3 in the Crimson Singles Draw against Hush. Freshmen Ana Pimienta and Ali Dawson stepped up and also picked up wins on the first round of competition against Missouri. Pimienta defeated Missouri junior Annemijin Koenen 6-4, 6-4 while her teammate also took down Missouri freshman Ashleigh Chaiaf 6-0, 6-4. Momentum was on Pimienta’s
side as she finished the weekend 3-0 after wins against Chaiaf (60, 6-2) and Louisville junior Stefanie Villajuan (6-4, 6-2) in the Red Singles Draw on the final day of competition. Hush teamed up with Pimienta in doubles but could not come out with the win as they fell to Indiana 8-1. Marquette’s women’s tennis team returns to action at the Helfaer Tennis Stadium on campus at 10 a.m. for its first dual season competition against UIC and then Green Bay at 5 p.m.

Changed: Mallace put faith in Bennett
If Marquette was going to win, Mallace would have to be the intelligent, mature leader on the field. As Bennett said, “It’s difficult for good players to change so they can become very good or even great, but he was willing to do that.” And the change worked; Mallace’s senior season was his best. His point total wasn’t the highest of his career, but he made everyone around him better, and he was able to transition into his role (his likely role with his new club) as a box-to-box midfielder. He became a true all-around player. It was a change that paid off in accolades this year as well, both through the Big East and nationally. He was named to the All-Big East team, as well as being named the league’s
Midfielder of the Year. College Soccer News recognized his fantastic season by naming him a Second Team All-American. Last week, Mallace was drafted with the No. 1 pick of the second round (20th overall) in the 2012 MLS Superdraft by the Montreal Impact. Montreal is the newest franchise in the MLS, so it will be a unique period of change for the city as well, along with its new players. With established MLS players like Brian Ching, Donovan Ricketts, and Sanna Nyassi, Mallace will be able to learn quickly, but contribute immediately. Mallace graduated in December, after three and a half years. He leaves Marquette having changed everything in his path. He helped Marquette transition from a Big East cupcake to the team to beat in the conference’s
Blue Division, while also changing the standard of player that the program should expect from now on. In 2008, Mallace’s freshman year, having a Marquette player drafted into the MLS was unthinkable. Bennett’s concerns were for getting players that could be competitive in the Big East. He could not have grand aspirations like that. Nobody saw any of the soccer program’s success coming — except maybe Mallace. But after watching him change these four years, it’s no surprise to see Mallace playing in the MLS, and likely thriving as a professional. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Foe: MU 1-3 in true road games this year “If you play him hard enough and pressure him constantly, that shakes up their offense and wears him down,” Wilson said. “Any team falls apart when their point guard isn’t playing as well.” Freshman forward LaDontae Henton has been a bright spot inside for the Friars, averaging a team-high 8.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks while playing 36.5 minutes per game. Freshman shooting guard Todd Mayo said the team is wellrested and ready to get back on track on the road. “I’m sure we’ll lock in and do what we do best,” Mayo said. “We’re not worried about what they do or how they play. We’re just going to do what we Photo courtesy of Elise Krivit/elise.krivit@marquette.edu do and do us.” Freshman guard Todd Mayo said MU is well-rested and ready for Providence.

We’ve covered flopping here at the Sports Sideshow previously, back when the Giants stunk and could barely beat the lowly Rams without cheating. (Speaking of which, maybe the Packers should have taken a page from that notebook in order to stop Manning’s Marches.) The flop we’re about to discuss is much more egregious and frankly pretty despicable, especially when you consider who did it. Marshall and Central Florida are locked in a heated struggle in a men’s basketball game when a Central Florida player slightly grazes Marshall coach Tom Herrion while running down the court. Herrion proceeds to collapse on the ground
twice, seizing his chest and crawling on the ground. CBS reporter Jeff Goodman was covering the game and believed the coach was genuinely having a heart attack and might be dying on the sidelines. Of course the coach was simply perfecting his Othello character and was just peachy, deceitfully trying to game the system. The refs took a 15 minute break to evaluate the play and decided to give the Central Florida player that made slight contact with the coach a flagrant-1 foul which meant two free-throws for Marshall. Did I tell you the Thundering Herd won the game by one point? And you thought the flopping in soccer was bad. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

BIG EAST NOTEBOOK By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu
Bottom Feeders Set The Big East is the best conference in the country. Talk with any coach in the conference and you’ll get that response. But there are three teams that clearly drag down the rest of the conference, against whom any opposing team should be confident about chalking up a “W” in the record book. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Seton Hall are all winless in Big East play through at least four conference games and have few prospects for winning when not playing each other. Pittsburgh has lost its six conference games by a combined 156 points — an average of 26 points per game, including a 120-44 loss to No. 2/2 Notre Dame Tuesday evening. The Panthers average 10.1 less points per game than their opposition and feature a roster with no player older than a sophomore. Seton Hall has lost its five conference games by a combined 115 points — 23 points per game. With only two players averaging over 6.8 points per game — senior guard Jasmine Crew (19.1 points per game) and junior guard Brittany Morris (12.6 points per game) — and negative rebounding (-1.7) and turnover margins (-1.2), the Pirates are in prime position to be stomped on throughout the Big East season. Cincinnati has lost by doubledigits to two of the top three teams in the conference, Rutgers and Notre Dame, but was unable to pick up wins against South Florida (11-8, 3-2) or Louisville (15-4, 4-2). The Bearcats have a better shot of improving their season than Seton Hall or Pittsburgh, but they should still expect to stay in the bottom of the conference. Notre Dame: class of the conference For the second time this season, the No. 2/2 Notre Dame
Fighting Irish (18-1, 6-0 Big East) surpassed 120 points in a game when they knocked down the Pittsburgh Panthers 120-44. The 76-point victory was Notre Dame’s largest-ever margin of victory in a Big East contest. The 120 points were the fourth most recorded in a Big East contest — the most is 128 by Providence on Feb. 4, 1991 — and most in a home game. Notre Dame had eight players in double figures that game, tied for most in school history, and its 48 field goals were a new school and conference high. The previous Big East high was 46 by Providence (twice) most recently on Jan. 29, 1986, against Seton Hall. It was the second game this week in which the Fighting Irish defeated a Big East opponent by 26 or more points — after defeating Cincinnati 76-50 on Jan. 14 — and the Fighting Irish have won their six Big
East contests by an average of 36.7 points per game. The one contest Notre Dame did not win by a margin greater than 19 points was against No. 3/3 Connecticut (15-2, 4-1 Big East), 74-67 in overtime on Jan. 7. Junior guard Skylar Diggins filled up the stat sheet this week with 11 points, nine assists and four rebounds against Pittsburgh and 11 assists, four points and seven rebounds against Cincinnati. For those counting at home, that’s 7.5 points, 10.0 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game. It’s early, but the Fighting Irish are in prime position to finish the Big East season undefeated with only road contests against Rutgers (Jan. 31) and Connecticut (Feb. 27) as well as a nonconference tilt against Tennessee (Jan. 23) that stand out as games to monitor.

DePaul
vs.
Rutgers

This game is one to keep an eye on just to see where DePaul really sits within the Big East. If DePaul has aspirations to be a top four team and get a double bye in the conference tournament, then this is a game to make a statement: It’s a road game against a top team,
adding a top-25 win to DePaul’s resume (if DePaul wins). Both teams are top six in the conference in three point field goal percentage and top seven in assists. They are also in the top six in assist to turnover ratio. Check it out.
Rushdan was unable to lead the No. 7/8 Rutgers Scarlet Knights to a victory over St. John’s Tuesday night, but that doesn’t mean the redshirt senior guard didn’t make her mark on the 62-57 loss. Rushdan was Rutgers’ leading scorer (16), rebounder
(eight) and assister (six) in the St. John’s loss. In a 71-68 overtime victory against Louisville, Rushdan was again Rutgers’ leading rebounder (11) and assister (eight). Not a bad week.
