Green space to replace Hegarty’s location Lengthy removal of former campus pub began this week By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
Though it stood as a Marquette fixture for decades, by Wednesday afternoon, half of Hegarty’s Pub, located at 1120 W. Wells St. across from the Al McGuire Center, was rubble. The lot will now be converted to green space. The university purchased Hegarty’s Pub in spring 2010, prompting its closing. Dakota Intertek Corp., a construction, environmental and technical services company hired by Marquette began deconstructing the pub Tuesday at 7 a.m. Robert Borkenhagen, senior project manager, said the pub was out of code and posed safety hazards to people –mainly the homeless – who would enter the building.
“It would have cost millions to keep up,” Borkenhagen said. He also said the building will hopefully be completely torn down by Friday, but it could be sooner depending on the weather. However, another senior project manager, Thomas Marach, said the removal process, however, could take up to five weeks. Destruction was not smooth. While tearing the building down, the company hit a cable line and Time Warner Cable crews had to repair it. Although the construction company workers said the area will be converted to temporary green space, Kate Venne, director of university communication, said there are currently no specific plans in the works. “Marquette carefully monitors property transactions in the campus area,” Venne said. “As properties within the campus master plan area become available, the university assesses their value and determines their importance to the campus environment.”

Clergy sexual abuse victims file complaint with ICC By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu
Victims filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands on Sept. 20, asking the court to investigate and prosecute highlevel Vatican officials including
Pope Benedict XVI and thousands of other priests, three of whom are from Wisconsin, for their roles in the Catholic clergy sexual abuse crisis. The complaint and 20,000 pages of evidence were filed by members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests and the Center for Constitutional Rights. Of the three Wisconsin cases, one involves a priest from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, the Rev. Lawrence Murphy. According to case documents, Murphy allegedly molested

approximately 200 boys from 1950 to 1974 at the former St. John’s School for the Deaf in Milwaukee. He was also charged with destruction of church documents at the Dioceses of Green Bay and Milwaukee. In 1997 Murphy was convicted by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and sentenced to dismissal. However, the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, the Vatican organization primarily responsible for investigating clergy sexual abuse and then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI, decided to allow Murphy to remain a priest. Murphy died in 1998 without being charged or defrocked. The consequences the accused priests could face vary from removal from priesthood to suspension. All accused have the right to appeal. End results will also differ because the case involves clergymen around the world, subject to different jurisdictions. There have also been local accusations of abuse within the priesthood that were not brought before the ICC. The Rev. Perry Robinson of St. Gerald Catholic Church in Omaha, Neb. was permanently removed as a Jesuit priest from public ministry last year on See Vatican, page 7
College of Nursing to create rural residency program US gov. awards Marquette nursing $1 million grant By Katie Doherty kathleen.doherty@marquette.edu
The College of Nursing recently received a three-year, $1 million grant to develop an evidencebased residency program for new, rural nurses in Wisconsin, Illinois and Idaho. Marquette announced last week that the Division of Nursing in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded the college the grant, which totals $1,033,118 million. The SOAR-RN program, (Supporting Onboarding and Retention of Rural Nurses), will aid in the transition of new nurses into rural hospitals during the first 15 months of practice. It will also entail a yearlong residency program curriculum and training for educators, mentors and preceptors. Dr. Marilyn Meyer Bratt, assistant professor of nursing at Marquette, applied for the grant and serves as its primary investigator. She said the first nurses will partake in the program this summer. Bratt said the transition to practicing, especially in rural
hospitals, can be difficult and students need support. “(Marquette nursing students) will see results in that practicing in rural areas is a viable option for them,” Bratt said. She said this program is in line with Marquette’s mission to “address the needs of vulnerable populations,” and that it would give the nurses a competitive edge in rural hospitals because they have bachelor’s degrees. She said some students may not consider it, but some may find a good residency program in a rural setting. Bratt said she has experience with rural nurses and their challenges – because she was one – shortly after getting her degree. “I remember all too well what it was like to be a rural nurse as a new graduate,” she said. Bratt said she applied for the grant so new rural nurses would not have the same struggles she had starting out. She said nurses in rural hospitals have a unique requirement: they must generalize their nursing ability. For instance, a nurse at a rural hospital could go straight from helping a woman in labor to caring for a cancer patient. Bratt said care is more specialized in urban hospitals. See Nursing, page 7
