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

A study on social behavior while intoxicated suggests people should be held liable for drunken actions.
Study says alcohol no longer cause of poor decisions By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu
“I was drunk,” may no longer be a way to avoid responsibility for your weekend behavior. According to a new study published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, a publication of the American Psychological Association, people under the influence of alcohol are less bothered by, and oftentimes do not care, about the implications of their behaviors. Bruce Bartholow, author of the study and associate professor at University of Missouri - Columbia, said because people are aware of their behavior while intoxicated, they should be liable for their actions. It is common knowledge that alcohol impairs self-regulatory behavior such as responding appropriately in social situations. There is a great deal of evidence that alcohol reduces anxiety and stress. But this study focused on people’s social behavior while intoxicated. The 67 participants in the study, aged 21-35, were split into three groups. The first two groups received a placebo alcohol and the third group received alcoholic

Netflix price changes spark controversy, apology CEO admits to poor communication in email to customers By Pat Simonaitis patrick.simonaitis@marquette.edu

Business programs rank in top 20 Success in high ranking attributed to business faculty By Matt Gozun Special to the Tribune
Marquette’s College of Business Administration earned a promotion in this year’s edition of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges listing, with three of its programs ranking among the top 20 in the nation. The programs in entrepreneurship and supply chain management both placed 16th in the nation, while the finance program was ranked 18th. In a separate report, research group Gartner Inc. ranked the supply chain management program 14th. Overall, out of 382 national universities in the U.S. News & World Reports listing, Marquette ranked 81st for undergraduate business programs, an improvement from 88th last year. Topping the list was the University of Pennsylvania, followed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. According to Linda Salchenberger, dean of the College of Business Administration, the schools on the list were put there by the deans and senior faculty of other universities in a peer review process. “In order to be ranked, our peers need to identify these programs as outstanding,” Salchenberger said in an email. “So it is an honor to be selected.” Cheryl Maranto, chair of the management department, which houses both the entrepreneurship and supply chain management programs, said she was “thrilled but not surprised” at the recognition. “Both the supply chain program and the entrepreneurship program have a number of outstanding and fairly unique, or at least rare,
features and webs of support that make them stand out from other programs around the country,” she said in an email. Maranto credits the college’s success to its faculty and their ability to “put together programs that go beyond the classroom.” In the entrepreneurship program, for example, students can craft a real project for a small business. In another course, they learn about founding nonprofit ventures to address social needs. Finance chairperson Sarah Peck added that the school’s relationship with the business community and alumni is also beneficial. “We have an active and committed network of alumni who serve as outside class speakers and career mentors for students,” Peck said in an email. “(They) care deeply about helping MU students find a career path that suits them and giving them the tools to be successful.” With all three programs unranked last year, Salchenberger acknowledged that the college’s recent recognition was the result “of the accomplishments of many over a long period of time.” Much of the praise, she said, should go to her predecessor, Dave Shrock, who decided to devote more resources to develop the programs. But while the college was glad to receive praise, administration noted the rankings painted “a very incomplete picture.” “In general, our focus is on improving the overall student educational experience, rather than on the rankings themselves,” said Vice President of Marketing and Communication Tricia Geraghty in an email. “I’m happy for the positive publicity and the positive results. But for a place like Marquette, our highest priority is always going to be on student success and academic quality, not the annual magazine issue,” she said.
The days of driving to Blockbuster and searching the aisles for a movie have long passed, thanks to newer technology that has pushed rentals from corner stores to kiosks, mail-order and online sales. But Netflix, one of the largest providers of online video streaming, has been questioned by customers and analysts alike about their business decisions in recent months. The fallout has been so great that earlier this month co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings wrote out a lengthy apology on the company’s blog that was also sent to subscribers, taking the blame for poorly communicating about price increases in July. The apology also provided Hastings and the company with an opportunity for rebranding, with the announcement that their DVD-by-mail service would henceforth operate through a separate company called “Qwikster.” “I messed up. I owe everyone an explanation,” Hastings said in his Sept. 18 blog post. “It is clear from the feedback over the past two months that many members felt we lacked respect and humility in the way we announced the

He said margarine manufacturers try to mimic the color and texture of butter, but the more than sixty flavor components naturally occurring

Despite its original purpose, the repeal of the margarine law will not significantly affect dairy producers, said Maureen Hall, a dairy veterinarian. “Butter is not a major contributing factor to the amount of dairy products consumed in the US,” Hall said. “The repeal will not seriously impact the price the dairy producer is paid for their milk.”

New jobs gained in surrounding area Unemployment rate remains the same despite added jobs By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
The Greater Milwaukee area added 1,100 new jobs in August, according to a Sept. 21 report released by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. The report also stated the August unemployment rate for Wisconsin decreased from 8.0 percent in 2010 to 7.9 currently. Dennis A. Spurlin, communications specialist for the
Department of Workforce Development, said that jobs increased and decreased in key places. “Jobs increased in the private sector, but government jobs decreased,” Spurlin said in an email. He also said the numbers came from statistical estimates based on sampling and should not to be viewed as representative of a consensus of jobs, meaning that 1,100 jobs may not actually exist. Rather, the statistics for the region suggest that this many jobs may have been added. Unemployment numbers remain even, though. Dave Celata, intergovernmental affairs and research manager for the Social Development
Commission, says that though the number of jobs are increasing, not everyone is reaping the benefits. He said recent college graduates in fields such as nursing and engineering do relatively well, but workers whose skills are not in as high of demand suffer. He also said workers who have been unemployed for numerous years or are highly under-skilled will not see the same increase in job opportunity. “While you have new jobs being added, the amount of people seeking jobs isn’t enough to meet the demand,” Celata said. The fact that many of SDC’s services — including emergency and W-2 — are still in demand is
evidence of this. Abdur Chowdhury, chair of the Department of Economics at Marquette, said this can be explained because most of the jobs being created are going to the suburbs of Greater Milwaukee — Waukesha, Washington and Ozaukee counties — not in the city of Milwaukee itself. Milwaukee is not the only place struggling with unemployment, though. Chowdhury said cities such as Madison and Green Bay have also been affected. “We’ve seen the job losses in a number of cities around the state, not just in Milwaukee,” he said.

Rule could prolong race for GOP nomination Winner-take-all primaries, caucuses delayed until April By Todd Richmond Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Don’t look for a quick winner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. After watching Democrats successfully ride their historic primary battle between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama all the way to the White House in 2008, the Republicans quietly adopted a new rule designed to extend their nominating process this time around. The rule limits the ability of candidates to win large numbers of delegates in early primaries and caucuses — those held before April — because delegates must be awarded in proportion to the votes a candidate receives. Many Republican state parties like to hold winner-take-all primaries because they create buzz and put a premium on candidates finishing first. Those states, however, will have to wait until April, at the earliest, to hold their nominating contests. “The top two or three candidates have a real chance now to go deep into March and maybe early April,” said Bob Bennett, a member of the Republican National Committee from Ohio. “I could see it going deep into April with a two-man contest.” Bennett served on the RNC panel that wrote the new rule in 2010. Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — the first states expected to hold nominating contests — were exempt. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has emerged as the Republican frontrunner, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney his chief rival. Farther back in the polls are Rep. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.
Despite the change, the expectation is low that the GOP race will go all the way to June, like the battle between Clinton and Obama. The Democratic race in 2008 was exceptional, pitting two wellfunded, resilient candidates who were able to survive multiple losses and emerge with enough campaign money to continue. In one stretch, Clinton lost 11 contests in a row. Her campaign was wounded, and she eventually lost the nomination to Obama, but she was able to stay in the race for several more months. No one in the GOP field could withstand 11 straight losses and still raise enough money to remain a viable candidate, said Rich Galen, a veteran Republican campaign strategist. But they could lose a majority of those races, and if they still pick up a substantial number of delegates, they might be able to persuade donors Photo by John Raoux/Associated Press to stick with them, he said. The rule was adopted after a debate among GOP activists, as many worried it would extend the race too much. “If there were 100 delegates Many other states are holding available and you got zero, then it process begin to yield diminish- It’s unclear which Republican looks like hell,” Galen said. “But ing returns because it begins to candidate might benefit from the their contests later, in April, May if there are 100 delegates and you drain your financial base and per- new rule because the dynamics of or June.

Law likely violated in Prosser election Investigators say clerk’s election night flub not criminal By Stephen Ohlemacher Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A county clerk likely violated the law when she failed to report thousands of votes in this spring’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election, but her conduct wasn’t criminal, state investigators said Wednesday. Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus couldn’t explain how she failed to report the votes, investigators said, but they concluded she probably loaded a blank template into a reporting database rather than a template that contained the vote totals. Wisconsin law requires county clerks to post all returns on Election Night. Former Dane County prosecutor Timothy Verhoff, who led the probe, said Nickolaus’ flub wasn’t intentional and she wasn’t trying to conceal votes. The state Government Accountability Board, which oversees Wisconsin elections, won’t refer the case to Waukesha County prosecutors, board spokesman Reid Magney said. However, the board ordered Nickolaus on Wednesday
to release detailed results on Election Night rather than county-wide figures, a process that would make errors more visible, as well as develop written procedures for reporting results. “Your failure to post election returns ... has significantly undermined public confidence in the conduct of elections in Wisconsin and Waukesha County,” the order said. Nickolaus issued a statement Wednesday saying she was glad the investigation confirmed she made an honest mistake. She promised to follow what she termed the board’s “recommendations” and said she looked forward to “rebuilding the trust of Waukesha County residents in the election process as it is the foundation of our democracy.” Nickolaus touched off a firestorm this spring when she revealed she hadn’t reported 14,000 votes from the city of Brookfield in the race between conservative Justice David Prosser and challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg. The contest evolved from a sleepy race between an incumbent justice and a little-known state attorney to a heated referendum on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s collective bargaining law, which stripped almost all public workers of most of their union rights. The law’s opponents made Kloppenburg their champion, hoping she would replace Prosser on the court and help strike the
law down. But Nickolaus apparently upInitial results from the April 5 loaded one of her blank templates election showed that Kloppenburg in place of Brookfield’s numbers. upset Prosser by about 200 votes.

closely to find out how it happened. Cantaloupe is often the source of outbreaks, however. Frieden said CDC had identified 10 other cantaloupe outbreaks in the last decade, most of them from salmonella. Listeria is more deadly than wellknown pathogens like salmonella and E. coli, though those outbreaks generally cause many more illnesses. Twenty-one people died in an outbreak of listeria poisoning in 1998 traced to contaminated hot dogs and possibly deli meats made by Bil Mar Foods, a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corp. Another large listeria outbreak, in 1985, killed 52 people and was linked to Mexican-style soft cheese. Listeria generally only sickens the elderly, pregnant women and others with compromised immune systems. The CDC said the median age of those sickened is 78 and that 1 in 5 who contract the disease can die from it. Symptoms include fever and muscle aches, often with other gastrointestinal symptoms.
spread the love.
Unlike many pathogens, listeria bacteria can grow at room temperatures and even refrigerator temperatures. It is hardy and can linger long after the source of the contamination is gone — health officials say people who may have had the contaminated fruit in their kitchens should clean and sanitize any surfaces it may have touched. The CDC said Tuesday that 13 deaths are linked to the tainted fruit. State and local officials say they are investigating three additional deaths that may be connected. The death toll released by the CDC Tuesday surpassed the number of deaths linked to an outbreak of salmonella in peanuts almost three years ago. Nine people died in that outbreak. The CDC reported four deaths in New Mexico, two deaths each in Colorado and Texas and one death each in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Maryland. New Mexico officials said Tuesday they are investigating a fifth
death, while health authorities in Kansas and Wyoming said they too are investigating additional deaths possibly linked to the tainted fruit. The CDC reported the 72 illnesses and deaths in 18 states. Cases of listeria were reported in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The most illnesses were reported in Colorado, which has seen 15 sickened. Fourteen illnesses were reported in Texas, 10 in New Mexico and eight in Oklahoma. While most healthy adults can consume listeria with no ill effects, it can kill the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It is also dangerous to pregnant women because it easily passes through to the fetus. The CDC’s Frieden said that two of those sickened were pregnant women but they have since recovered.

There were also allegations in the early 1990s that he was in possession of nude photos of MUHS students. Robinson was not one of the three Wisconsin priests named in the ICC filing. Julie Pope, sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, went to St. Gerald while Robinson was a priest. Pope was shocked when she heard the news. “He came over for dinner one night with my grandmother
and we all enjoyed ourselves,” Pope said. “I would never have guessed. ... I was just shocked.” Daniel Maguire, a professor of theology at Marquette, has written extensively about the Catholic Church and its struggles with sexual abuse, and said he firmly supported the victims’ right to pursue justice. He also said he wants the Catholic Church to take responsibility for its actions and not be let off the hook. “Active abuse of children and cover-ups by any official are absolutely criminal,” Maguire said, adding that victims have the right to go to secular courts to resolve the issue.

The new evidence-based residency program for rural nurses extends to Wisconsin, Illinois and Idaho.
The Ministry Health Care system in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network and Rural Connection in Idaho partnered together to create the program. Marquette’s College of Nursing is also joined by the Illinois State University Mennonite College of Nursing and Boise State University as academic partners. Sandi Van Den Heuvel, the project coordinator, said many nurses go to college in urban
settings and stay there for residency. “Rural healthcare just isn’t funded like urban healthcare,” Van Den Heuvel said. “These nurses are trained just as well as a nurse in an urban setting.” She also said interested students should look into human resource programs at their respective colleges to see if a rural residency program is offered. Buffie Main, the Rural Connection executive director, said

the partner states had “commonalities” in rural nursing. The three partner states have been working together on the program for about five years, she said. “We have the opportunity to look at collaborative data from three separate states on rural nursing,” Main said.

Could you help me get out of this box?
Marquette had a big week last week. For students, the fourth week of classes never fails to be the first week of tests and deadlines, usually in every class at once. But this week was different from semesters past because Inauguration week offered a reward at the end of it. Sorry freshmen, but delicious free food and fewer classes every few Fridays are not the norm. The Rev. Scott Pilarz’s presidency was finally made official, and every member of the Marquette community – from employees and faculty to students and alums – were involved in the festivities. Thursday and Friday brought a buzz to campus, with guests and students alike enjoying the festivities and a surprisingly tasty Sodexo spread. Then, the real Buzz showed up with a video message to encourage the sixth man to turn out strong again this year, as Fanatics tickets went on sale yesterday. All of the commotion on campus made me feel like our fight song was on a continuous loop sounding through speakers on Central Mall. Then I realized I was just walking by the pep band. Anyway, my school spirit was soaring. I spent the last semester studying at the Les Aspin Center in Washington D.C., so my welcome back was during exam week, followed by senior week. And while both weeks were busy, it was atypical of the usual campus bustle. Then I was on campus all summer, but the months when Milwaukee is at its best coincide with the time when the least amount of people populate MU. Needless to say, when school started, I was not used to the normal high volume of activity which occurs during the school year. I was bouncing from class to work to clubs, lugging a bag the size of Montana and annoyed by the sudden resurgence of bros blocking the sidewalk. But after the first week of classes, I got
my schedule down, bought a backpack and found the quickest routes. I grew used to all the people and noise, and once it stopped bothering me, I stopped noticing it. I had work to do, meetings to attend and a spot in the library that has not been seeing enough of me (although I certainly feel like I have been seeing enough of it). I failed to notice how great it is to be a Marquette student because I was too distracted actually being a Marquette student. That is until last week, when the huge tent went up in the middle of campus, and it became impossible to not notice something special was happening within our community. Oy, that sounded corny. But it’s true: We are a community at Marquette. Whenever I am off-campus, I bump into an alumni or two – even when I’m not in Milwaukee, and even if I’ve never met them before. It happened all the time in D.C. Numerous spontaneous conversations began because of a gold T-shirt with M-A-R-Q-U-E-T-T-E scrolled across it. Whether it was a brief runin on the National Mall or a long chat at a Marquette bar while watching a men’s basketball game, there was an undeniable connection. We make these connections because we are proud of the community we have built while on campus. Last week, we welcomed Pilarz into it in an incredibly grand way. This gigantic event caused us to recognize the solidity of Marquette – but it shouldn’t have to take such a big scale to alert us of this. Too often, we get swept up in the day-to-day monotony. Balancing everything can be overwhelming. We become consumed with homework and events. We grow frustrated by slow internet connections and weird living conditions. We start to take for granted the goodness that is around us – a goodness that many of our alumni miss and wish to stay connected to. The spirit we have during basketball games is obvious. It’s also easy. What is difficult is remembering to maintain that spirit every day. Take a moment to appreciate this community. We only live in it for four years, but it lasts a lifetime. kelly.white@marquette.edu

Harvest your inner chic this autumn season By Jennie Jorgensen jennifer.jorgensen@marquette.edu
It’s getting colder outside. That means it’s time for Marquette students to bundle up … with fall fashion. Think of the new season as a reason to strut layer upon layer of new fashion-forward pieces from head to toe. Before we get into the details, remember the importance of pairing seasonal trends with fall staples. Try matching high-waisted cargo pants with a boxy blazer, or a midcalf dress with a big, bold scarf. Dive into the season head first.
Audacious outerwear Jackets in general make a statement when cold weather sets in. So jump on the bandwagon with a hot one. Annie Ristow, store manager and buyer for Fred Boutique, 522 N. Water St., said essential styles of the season include the leather bomber and the classic black blazer, as both can complete almost any look. Longer coats are generally intended for warmth, but their purpose doesn’t have to stop there. Choose a trendy knee-length trench
or a duster coat, especially if it has a unique shape, color or stitchwork. “I always love to have a statement coat,” Ristow said, “something that stands apart in a sea of coats.” One example of a statement coat for this fall: the cape coat. Look for front pockets, fur trims or oversized hoods and collars.
Smart sweaters
If you let them, sweaters scream cozy-chic. Find a chunky, knitted one in a neutral color or a printed pattern with a big cowl or turtle neck. Pair with skinny jeans and leather riding boots, and you’ve got yourself a fresh fall look. This autumn, sweaters get slouchier. While last season featured cocoon wrap styles and big drapey sleeves, Ristow said this season adds the poncho into the mix. Picture an earthtone wool poncho with a big button detail and a pair of dark-wash, highwaisted, flared jeans and brown, wedged heels. Talk about a ’70s throwback!

Fall coats with a unique shape, color or stitchwork, like this bright red trench with multiple oversized pockets, make a bold statement.
Modern tribal prints, chunky knits and black blazers are three must-haves this season. Guys can rock these just as well as the ladies can.
Slacks, skirts Patterns and Pallettes and dresses Typical fall colors feature neu-
The hottest shapes for slacks this season are cropped, flared, tapered and high-waisted. Think less “pant” and more “trouser.” Boot cut and skinny denim are still fair game, but start branching out with a different color or print, and a more delicate fabric and cut. Dresses and skirts for this fall look fuller with a feminine silhouette. Popular cuts include calf length and full length maxi. In graphic mixed prints, skinny pleats and fresh metallics, these ladylike pieces are an easy (and flattering) go-to item for every fashionista.
trals and beiges, and this fall is no exception. But “in” right along with these earth tones are a few bright ones that offer a change of pace: namely burnt orange and deep, rich sapphire blue. Pick a few vivid pieces to break up a monotonous fall color palette. “Anything that has a vibrant hue, especially in this type of weather, is just a good pick-me-up,” Ristow said. “People don’t want to be stuck in black or grey every day.” Don’t go completely solid, though. Prints are huge this season, starting with plaids. Not cozy ’90s grunge, though. Think Scottish, preppy, graphic tartan-type prints. Other patterns hot on the racks include the modern tribal print and the snake skin.
Bold bangles, boots and bags
Feet need fashion too. Fall boots are a must-have, and in right now are wedge heels and rugged platform ankle booties. The biggest shoe trends include the menswearinspired heeled loafer and oxford, the colorful and comfy suede flat and the classic-but-trendy stacked heel. Polish up your looks by accessorizing them. This season, purses turn satchel. Find a boxy, leather shoulder bag with a top handle. Think mini-suitcase or
TOTOE
bowling bag-esque. “Structured bags have been going over really well so far,” Ristow said. “The cross-body feature is still huge right now – it’s convenient and hands free.” Sheet-metal jewelry adds some glam to this fall’s trends, with pieces that appear inspired by Aladdin’s genie or Cleopatra’s arm bands. Find a brass or shiny gold cuff, a flat choker or a wrap-around ring.
Mr. Fads
Fashion isn’t all about women, of course. But men should prepare for a season where their fashions mimic the mainstream female trends: tribal and plaid prints, structured and collared knits, patterned slacks and leather coats. Find pieces that allow layers of different textures, like distressed denim long-sleeved shirts, thermals, soft v-neck sweaters and the black bomber jacket. Brooke Andrew, a sales associate at White Star Mensgear, 524 N. Water St., said graphic T-shirts paired under classic cardigans offer a subdued, yet layered and classy look for all men this fall. For below the belt, try working some corduroy or fitted earth-tone cargos with the already popular rugged denim pants in your wardrobe. And men too can add flare to any ensemble by accessorizing. The easiest way is to put a new twist on old trends. Choose high-top shoes and work boots instead of classic low-tops, bowties instead of long ties and suspenders instead of belts. Snap on a leather wristband or a large-faced watch to finish the look. Fall may call for some bundling up, but that doesn’t mean we can’t cover ourselves head to toe in ravishing style.

Marquette season opener a dark musical comedy By Liz McGovern elizabeth.mcgovern@marquette.edu
Fears of the dentist. Worries about giant flesh-eating monsters. Turning every situation into a song. This is no regression back into childhood. It’s just “Little Shop of Horrors,” the season opener for Marquette’s Department of Performing Arts. The musical originally earned acclaim in an off-Broadway production in 1982, was made into a movie in 1986 and later premiered on Broadway in 2003. Tonight, the show opens at the Helfaer Theatre. “Little Shop” takes place on an urban Skid Row in 1960. Seymour Krelborn, played by Tim Braun, a senior in the College of Communication, works at a rundown flower shop and discovers a strange, exotic plant after a sudden eclipse of the sun. He names the Venus flytrap-like plant Audrey II, after Audrey, his love interest. Trying to revive the wilting plant, Seymour accidentally pricks his finger on the thorns. Audrey II gulps down Seymour’s blood. The plant begins to thrive off blood and quickly grows to be large and vicious and finds its voice — literally. “The plant in ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ comes to life,” said Tyler Frost, a sophomore in the College of Communication and “Little Shop” ensemble member, in an email. Audrey II is not an actor dressed up as a plant, but instead a puppet. John Albrecht, a senior in the College of Business Administration, maneuvers the plant’s body while within the giant prop, while Craig Fischer, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, remains offstage, acting as the plant’s voice. Seymour eventually shows the plant to the public and instantly becomes famous. As Audrey II grows, Seymour approaches the original Audrey. He learns she is in a relationship with an abusive boyfriend, Orin Scrivello, a sadistic dentist who thrives on the pain and misfortune of others. Although the dentist is
troubled, assistant costume director Bridget Rzymski, a sophomore in the College of Communication, enjoys how Armando Ronconi, a freshman in the College of Communication, brings the dentist to life. “The dentist is definitely a show stealer,” Rzymski said. “He may be sadistic and a little creepy, but that’s what makes him wonderful to watch.” Wardrobe supervisor Shannon Twohy, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said she agrees. “(Ronconi) may be a small freshman, but he has a big presence,” Twohy said. Little does the dentist know, but Audrey begins a secret romance with Seymour. Allie Bonesho, a senior in the College of Communication, plays Audrey. She enjoys the dynamics of the romance between her character and Seymour. “Audrey used to have a stellar body and was a prostitute,” Bonesho said. “But she does not realize her sexual appeal. She does not realize she sends signals to Seymour.” Even so, through tumultuous times, the two come together. “My favorite part of the show is the song ‘Suddenly, Seymour.’ We let loose. It is a climactic moment in the show, revealing feelings to the audience and to each other,” Bonesho said. While romance is part of the show, “Little Shop” is certainly not just a love story. The show has a dark sense of humor as well. And with a blood-thirsty plant, how could it not? While Twohy describes the show’s music to be a satire of ’60s doo-wop, the show’s not always as upbeat as the music suggests. Bonesho said that the musical’s underlying message about greed is a valuable lesson learned. “Seymour and all of the characters want money, but in the end, it’s what gets the plant bigger,” Bonesho said. “Money can only get you so far in life.” “Little Shop Of Horrors” runs through Oct. 9. at the Helfaer Theatre. Admission is $10 for students, $16 for alumni, seniors and Marquette employees and $20 for general adult admission. Wednesday, Oct. 6 is $6 for students and Thursday, Oct. 7 is two for $10 with an MUID. For more information, call the Helfaer box office at 414-288-7504.

Art is more than just entertainment
Sarah Elms Arts and entertainment. These two words are always paired together, but must art always be entertaining to have value? Or should it serve a greater purpose? While I agree the entertainment factor makes art more enjoyable for the audience — whether it’s a concert, a stand-up comedy routine or a new installation at a museum — I recognize that just because something is entertaining doesn’t automatically make it good. This weekend I went to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center, just blocks away from campus, to see a performance of “Tellin’ It Like It Tis,” a choreopoem written by Milwaukeean Andre’ Lee Ellis that we covered last week in Marquee. The performance was definitely entertaining — it kept my attention for the full two hours — but it went beyond that. The show was profound, moving and incredibly thoughtprovoking. What made it so good was the message it presented to the audience and the power with which it did so. The theme of the entire piece was to convey what it is like to be a black male living in Milwaukee. The actors covered topics from drug dealing to homelessness to strained family ties and aggressively addressed the negative stereotypes so readily attached to this demographic in our community. This was art with a purpose. Art like this goes beyond momentary entertainment; it has a lasting effect. All too often, I go to a show or visit a gallery, enjoy it while I’m there, go home and tell my roommates about it and then generally
forget about it a week later. Sound familiar? The arts have historically been considered a leisure activity, something to be attended as a reward for hard work. We go to shows to take our minds off our daily stresses, to mix up our routines or to just kick back and enjoy ourselves. And while I find nothing wrong with relaxing, that’s not to say you can’t enjoy yourself while also participating in a greater dialogue. Art, in its many forms, can be extremely powerful. It has the ability to provoke us, to educate us and to promote change. It reaches audiences from all demographics and often brings people together who may not otherwise have anything in common. This weekend, “Tellin’ It Like It Tis” drew a mostly African-American audience, but there were a few Caucasian folks sprinkled in as well. There was also about an equal split of males and females and a wide range of ages. It wasn’t the most diverse crowd I’ve ever seen, but it wasn’t the most monochromatic one either. The poetry facilitated a group discussion about a real issue impacting the Milwaukee community, which elevated it from a show merely worth seeing to a show I would consider a must-see. Our society is so wrapped up in art solely for entertainment purposes that we don’t demand art that is profound, meaningful and challenging. Most mainstream reviews of concerts, movies, dance and theater just tell us whether or not a show is entertaining — because that’s what readers use to gauge if something is worth seeing or not. They rarely comment on a piece’s relationship to a greater theme, or if it even has one in the first place. It’s time we raise our expectations and start defining artistic value by more than degrees of entertainment. If we expect more meaning from the art we pay to see, artists will give us more, and we’ll all be better for it. sarah.elms@marquette.edu
‘Strange Mercy’ embraces pop, rock elements St. Vincent’s third album appeals to new, old fans alike By Vanessa Harris vanessa.harris@marquette.edu
“Strange Mercy,” St. Vincent’s third studio album, combines melodies, noise and a range of vocals to create something different from your average pop experience. Its mix of slow tracks, hook driven singles, lounge sounds and wide use of synthesizers can become confusing, maybe even disjointed at times, but the entire album still finds a way to flow cohesively. While some songs may seem awkward on their own, they have an important place on the album. “Strange Mercy” isn’t necessarily a concept album, but once heard in its entirety, it just makes sense to listen to all the tracks at once. This album is definitely a testament to Annie Clark’s growth as the artist behind St. Vincent. It
is filled with layered sounds and complex composition to accompany her angelic voice. The album tries something different by trading in the woodwinds featured on earlier albums for a more diverse blend of tempos and sounds. Lyrically, Clark could be talking about anything. While she probably has her own meanings for each song, “Strange Mercy” leaves plenty of room for listener interpretation. However, “Marry Me” and “Actor,” St. Vincent’s previous albums, had themes of violence and sex that carry over into “Strange Mercy.” The intense emotion of Clark’s voice on the new album instills a feeling of angst in the listener. The opener, “Chloe In The Afternoon,” is beautiful and quirky, setting the pace for the rest of the album. It only takes one second for a funky guitar riff to kick in and propel the song forward. St. Vincent’s foundation of synthesized bass, drums and guitar becomes the standard formula that the rest of “Strange Mercy” follows — although some songs not as closely
as others. The first single, “Cruel,” is an extremely pop-ish song, at least compared to anything St. Vincent has done in the past. Easy to dance to, it definitely stands out as a radioready single. Likewise, “Northern Lights” is probably the most traditional rock-sounding song St. Vincent has on the album. A simple guitar riff and a steady drum in the background are the perfect balance of charm and familiarity. In contrast, the third track, “Cheerleader,” seems to be a personal declaration of St. Vincent finding her identity. “I’ve played dumb when I knew better. Tried so hard just to be clever,” Clark sings, shortly followed by a heartpounding drumbeat and repetitious chorus chanting, “I don’t want to be a cheerleader no more.” Equally personal is the title track, a slow-paced song depicting a conversation between St. Vincent and a close friend or significant other assaulted by an authority figure. The song, featuring lines like, “If I ever meet that dirty policemen who roughed you up, no I don’t know what,” bursts with so much

frustration and anger that the lyrics stick with you long after you’ve turned off the song. “Strange Mercy” ends just as strong as it began with “Year of The Tiger.” This finale of a track is exactly how an album should end: with loud, stomping and powerful
vocals that leave listeners satisfied. “Strange Mercy” proves itself a great album for both new and old fans of St. Vincent. Its rhythmic, theme-driven tracks and experimental sounds don’t disappoint and make it worth the listen time and again.

Twister ravaged senior’s home
Cardinals game may have saved Kulla family’s lives By Mike LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu
Senior goalkeeper Natalie Kulla has made plenty of great decisions in her illustrious career at Marquette. Perhaps the St. Louis native’s most important decision came on April 22, when she took her brother Nathaniel and his girlfriend to the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game against Cincinnati for his 20th birthday along with her boyfriend Joe. Good Friday was just like any other typical spring day in St. Louis. Tornado warnings are commonplace in the heart of Tornado Alley. “There’s literally a warning almost once a week during the spring and summer, so people are like, ‘OK, this is the fourth one this month, big deal,’” Kulla said. This tornado, one of five reported in the St. Louis area that day, was a bit different. It destroyed
Kulla’s house — about 12 miles north of Busch Stadium — and three others in her neighborhood. Luckily, nobody was killed or even seriously injured as Kulla’s parents were at church at the time, adding to the family’s good fortune. Kulla got a call from her father during a rain delay during the Cardinals’ game saying their house was in pieces. “I didn’t fully grasp the situation until my dad called and said he was looking into my brother’s room from outside of our house,” Kulla said. “That’s when I knew it was time to go home.” The family spent the next few hours deciding what items were salvageable and what would be left in the damage. All this took place around 10 p.m. while it was still pouring rain. “She actually sent us pictures of her house and her street, and everyone was really supportive and trying to help her out,” senior defender Kerry McBride said. “But it was pretty hard because it was so far away.” Kulla was only in town because it was Easter weekend, and she

departed for Marquette the follow ing Monday, leaving her parents to pick up the pieces. Thankfully, her parents were able to stay at her aunt’s house for a few weeks until they moved into the home of Kulla’s boyfriend’s late grandfather, where they have been since May. The family’s insurance company was able to demolish what was left of Kulla’s home and rebuild it from the foundation. The family should move back in around

Team’s chance at third straight win slips away Pothast notches the lone goal for MU in 1-1 draw Wednesday By Matt Trebby Special to the Tribune
It wasn’t pretty, but the Marquette men’s soccer team (34-2) extended its unbeaten run to four, after a 1-1 draw with Wisconsin (4-3-2) Wednesday night at the McClimon Complex in Madison, Wisc. Sophomore defender Eric Pothast headed home senior midfielder Calum Mallace’s free
kick in the 36th minute only to have Wisconsin’s freshman A.J. Cochran head home an equalizer off Tomislav Zadro’s free kick in the 81st minute. As has been the case many times this year, Marquette started the match out slowly. Wisconsin had two great chances early, first from a Zadro free kick from 40 yards out, which forced junior goalkeeper David Check to make an acrobatic save. Minutes later, Zadro found sophomore midfielder Joey Tennyson unmarked, six yards from goal. Check wasn’t forced into action this time, as Tennyson

shot wide right. Coach Louis Bennett admitted his side wanted to get the ball in the game’s early stages and was fortunate not to be at least a goal down early. “I thought Madison started better than us, and were unfortunate not to be one or two nil ahead in the first 20 minutes,” Bennett said. “We were just trying to get a foothold in the game.” The Golden Eagles finally took control in the 36th minute, when Mallace delivered a free kick from 40 yards out. Pothast rose high and sent his header into the back of the net. Marquette went into halftime up 1-0, but Bennett wanted to improve his team’s overall play during the break. “In the second half, I thought we did a lot of things right,” said Bennett. “I thought we flowed better, and got a few opportunities.” In the second half, things took a turn for the worse. First, Bennett was sent off by the referee, for what was explained after the game as “dissent.” Marquette defended resiliently, and held onto its lead until the 81st minute, when Zadro won a free kick on the right wing, and delivered a perfect ball into the box, where Cochran headed it into the back of the net to tie the game. Zadro was a threat the whole game, and associate head coach See Slips, page 18
Christmas time. What would have happened if Kulla wasn’t at the Cardinals game, or her parents weren’t at church that day? “It’s scary to think about what could have happened,” Kulla said. “Thankfully there were only like five injuries, and nobody died, so it wasn’t nearly as bad as the tornadoes in Joplin.” That tornado struck a month later, on May 22, and 162 people died
and caused an estimated $3 billion in damage. “It’s really remarkable that nobody was seriously hurt (in St. Louis), but the entire Kulla family just has an attitude with not dwelling on things for too long and you see that in Natalie,” coach Markus Roeders said. “She’s very evenkeeled and realistic, not just in soccer, but with school and in life.”

Wild finishes cap wild 2011 season Erik Schmidt
There simply isn’t an adjective in existence that quantifies the madness. Wild? As in wild-card? No, that’s definitely selling it short. After 161 games, six months and hundreds of homers, strikeouts and packets of bubble-gum, there was a deadlock in both the American League and National League wild-card races. The Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays were tied at 90-71. The Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals were tied at 89-72. The stomachs of baseball fans nationwide? Tied in knots. This shouldn’t have been possible. The reason the baseball season lasts half the year and consists of more games than a decade worth of football is to make sure by the end of the marathon, we are absolutely, crossyour-heart, hope-to-die positive the best teams are at the forefront. This year, not so much. A disruptive rift has shattered Major League Baseball’s tidy little plans. You see, the 2011 season is a nonconformist. A rebel. An antiestablishment zealot who wants chaos and anarchy. This is not the usual baseball way. This is an outlier. Wild? Nah, that word just isn’t working. How the season, which seemed
so ho-hum just a month or so ago, transformed into this Mr. Hyde monstrosity of disorder is a bit hard to explain. The Red Sox, in typical fashion, were in complete control, ready to for their complimentary second place finish behind the New York Yankees and stroll into the playoffs. Everything was so normal. Then September rolled around, and they suddenly became all thumbs and left feet. Boston stumbled, tripped and fell flat on its face, going 7-19. Tampa Bay churned out a 16-10 month. Boom. Instant drama. Meanwhile, in the NL, the Braves did a fine choke job of their own, blowing an 8 1/2 lead to the Cardinals since Sept. 1. Atlanta’s top two sluggers, third baseman Chipper Jones and catcher Brian McCann, fell into prolonged, funktastic slumps. While Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols has been, well, Albert Pujols, batting a scorching .363 with 19 RBI. Of course, ties are made to be broken. And on the last day of the season, with a postseason berth on the line, after a month of losing ground and confidence and hair, the Red Sox continued their losing ways with a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioloes. Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon had the Red Sox one strike away from the postseason but instead gave up a double to Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis that set up outfielder Nolan Reimold to knock in the game winning run. The Rays, well they were the anti-Red Sox: They fought back See Wild, page 18

Trio of road games on tap for Golden Eagles Team looking to build off successful 6-1 homestand By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu
After a successful seven-game homestand, the Marquette women’s volleyball team will head east this weekend for a threegame road trip to start Big East road play with matches against Sacred Heart, Connecticut and St. John’s. Beginning with a home opener sweep of Southern Mississippi on Sept. 9, the Golden Eagles finished the stretch at 6-1, with their only blemish coming against No. 9 Minnesota, 3-2. If there was one downside to a long break from traveling, it was that the Golden Eagles struggled at times to set up their offense with accurate passes, something coach Bond Shymansky said his veteran group will need to focus on this weekend. “Still at times, I feel like we act like a young team that will wane a little bit in our focus on those contacts,” Shymansky said. “And we start giving the mentality of ‘just serve it’ or ‘just pass it’ instead of saying, ‘I want to take the ball and put it in this small of a window.’” Last year, the Golden Eagles picked up home wins against St. John’s and Connecticut, sweeping the Red Storm and beating the Huskies in four sets. Senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer led the way for Marquette against the Red Storm with 11 kills and seven digs, while senior outside hitter Ciara Jones finished with a teamhigh 13 kills against the Huskies. The Huskies (8-7, 0-2 Big East) are led by senior outside hitter Jordan Kirk, who ranks fourth in the Big East with 3.71 kills per set and 4.20 points per set. Junior libero Kelsey Maving ranks fourth in the Big East in digs per set (5.08) while setter Angela Roidt is ninth in the conference in assists at 9.67 per set. Sacred Heart (11-4) will be no easy task for the Golden Eagles. Senior outside hitter Kimmee Roleder leads the Knights with 203 kills and has helped her team to a 2-0 start in Northeast Conference play.
Beyer said the Golden Eagles will not take any team lightly this weekend, knowing that a slow start could lead to an upset. “The road games are the hardest to win, so I think we have to go out and play like we know we can,” Beyer said. “We know we can beat these teams, but anything is possible. Any team can beat you.” After back-t0-back road sweeps at the hands of powerhouses Cincinnati and Louisville, the Huskies will be glad to come home, where they have compiled a 7-2 record this season. The Red Storm, traveling partners with Connecticut, also were swept by Cincinnati and Louisville and have lost four straight. Senior outside hitter Darlene Ramdin has led the way with 203 kills.
For Marquette’s junior middle hitter Danielle Carlson, playing on the road is never easy, but creating a home-like atmosphere within the team will be important. “We know it’s hard to win on the road,” Carlson said. “But we have to create our own atmosphere within our team at away gyms.” While the competition is not the stiffest, she said the team is looking forward to starting the game out strong and getting after it on the defensive end. “Sometimes we get a little loose, and we’re not really sure what we’re doing,” Carlson said. “But we just have to keep looking across the net and see who we’re playing, be smart about our defensive positions and then we’ll get it done.”

Senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer is tied for second on the team with 155 kills.
There’s nothing quite like the Stanley Cup Finals. Between the caveman beards, riots in Canada and teams shaking hands after grueling slug fests, it truly is an event unlike any other. What happens afterwards, however, is quite another story. Take Boston Bruins forward Brad Merchand’s story, for example. In a rush of jubilation after outlasting the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of last season’s finals in June, Merchand and a few of his Bruin teammates decided to commemorate the victory with a very permanent celebration. They got heat-of-the-moment tattoos that read “Stanley Cup Champions,” right in the dressing room after the final game.
Much like Ted Mosby of “How I Met Your Mother,” it was a decision Merchand would come to regret. You see, his tattoo appeared to read “Starley Cup Champians.” While he claims it says Stanley, he did admit champions was spelled incorrectly on his tat. Not exactly the way you want to remember your most important triumph. He has since gotten it fixed, but he learned a very valuable lesson that day. As the saying goes, never let the sweaty drunk guy with a mullet, six missing teeth and a beard take a needle to your abdomen. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Wild: Sox, Braves fail from a 7-0 deficit to win in walk -off fashion courtesy of a home run by third baseman Evan Longoria for an 8-7 win in the 12th inning. And, to continue the drama, the Braves finished off the collapse and lost to the Phillies 4-3 in 13 innings. The Cardinals? There was never any doubt on their end. They took care of business 8-0 over the Houston Astros to claim the NL Wild Card. Usually, baseball gets pretty snooze-inducing about midway through the season. The difference between the good, the bad and the Pittsburgh Pirates becomes apparent. The last 80 games are a waste of time and leather.
Pitch. Swing. Hit. Get to the playoffs already. This year, the Sox, Rays, Braves and Cards made sure game No. 162 was as intriguing as game No. 1. They made sure this year there was a reason to stay interested, to stay involved, to tune in and be bewildered and bamboozled by the lunacy. A half-year of games. Four teams. Two wild card sports. One day. Yup, this season was... You know what, you fill in the blank.

Brewers to host Arizona in first round of playoffs

Continued from page 16:
Slips: Bennett ejected Stan Anderson, who took over for Bennett, acknowledged Zadro’s talent, but credited Mallace and junior midfielder Ryan Robb for containing the playmaker. “He was good. We knew we were going to have to watch him,” Anderson said. “I think he’ll be good for them going forward, but I also give credit to Calum and Ryan Robb for defending him the way they did.” The first overtime didn’t yield many opportunities for either side and the second period’s best chance came in the final
seconds for Wisconsin. A corner was played in, and the ball fell to Cochran, whose shot was deflected and struck the post with 10 seconds left. Anderson thought the game was an open, entertaining soccer game. “We’re a good football team, they’re a good football team,” said Anderson. “It was up and back and up and back.” The Golden Eagles resume their Big East schedule Saturday night at 7 p.m. when they host Rutgers at Valley Fields.

Prince Fielder (left) and Ryan Braun led the Brewers to their first NL Central Division title in franchise history.
Gallardo will start first game in bestof-five series Sat. By Colin Fly Associated Press
Zack Grienke capped a perfect season at home to help the Milwaukee Brewers clinch homefield advantage in the first round of playoffs with a 7-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. Carlos Gomez, Corey Hart and Jonathan Lucroy homered for the Brewers, who set a franchise record with 96 wins and open an NL division series at Miller Park beginning Saturday. If the NL Central champions had tied with NL West winner Arizona in the standings, the Brewers would have started the playoffs on the road. Ryan Braun’s pursuit of Mets shortstop Jose Reyes for the NL batting title ended early. He went 0 for 4 to finish at .332. Reyes hit .337. Greinke (16-6) allowed two runs in six innings to finish 11-0 in 15 starts at home, where the Brewers were a major league best 57-24. General manager Doug Melvin’s trades for the 2009 AL Cy Young winner along with Shaun Marcum in December have been
two main reasons the Brewers clinched their first division title since winning the AL East in 1982. Milwaukee (96-66) finished with one more win this season than in 1979 and ‘82, when the franchise made its only World Series appearance. Lucroy and Hart hit solo homers in the third. After Pittsburgh’s Jason Jaramillo cut the lead in half with an RBI single in the fourth, Gomez answered in the bottom of the inning with a three-run shot with two outs off rookie starter Jeff Locke (0-3) that put Milwaukee ahead 5-1. Nyjer Morgan waved his arms frantically in jest to cool down Gomez in the dugout with Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks chuckling at their teammate’s big moment. Jerry Hairston added an RBI single in the fifth and Hart had a sacrifice fly in the sixth for Milwaukee. Fielder, who will be a free agent after the season, received a standing ovation when he was removed before the start of the ninth and answered the curtain call with a wide smile and a tip of his cap. Pittsburgh scored runs in the sixth and eighth but never mounted a serious comeback as the Pirates (72-90) wrapped up their 19th straight losing season with another defeat in Milwau-
kee. Pittsburgh is 4-38 in Milwaukee since 2007. Greinke joined teammate Yovani Gallardo with 200 strikeouts or more in the fourth inning when he fanned Ronny Cedeno. He finished with four strikeouts to give him 201 for the season, a surprise after Greinke missed the first month after cracking a rib playing pickup basketball. Greinke also became the first NL pitcher since Orel Hershiser (12-0) in 1985 to finish perfect at home with an 11-0 record or better. Milwaukee won all 15 of Grienke’s games in Miller Park. But that home dominance won’t carry over to the first round of the playoffs. Because Milwaukee needed a win on Wednesday to ensure home-field advantage, Greinke likely won’t be used until Game 3 on the road of the NLDS. Reyes went 1 for 1 with a bunt hit to raise his batting average to .337 before asking out of New York’s 3-0 win over Cincinnati. Braun refused to criticize Reyes’ decision before the Brewers played, saying that he still had a chance to win the title. It quickly ended. Braun needed three hits, but grounded to third base to end the first and into a fielder’s choice to finish the third with the sellout crowd continuing its “M-V-P” chorus during each at-bat.

Men’s GOLF
Second round grounds soaring Golden Eagles
Konieczki finishes personal-best 10th at Cardinal Collegiate By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu
Entering the second round of the Cardinal Collegiate Tuesday, the Marquette men’s golf team sat in 13th place, three strokes out of fifth place. Aware that his team was within reach of a top-five finish for the first time this season, coach Steve Bailey said most of the team failed to show up in the second round. While sophomore Corey Konieczki shot a team-best 2-under par 70 in the first round
and freshman C.J. Swift posted a 73, no other Golden Eagle shot better than a 77. The second round brought more of the same as Konieczki and sophomore Michael Motz each shot a 2-over par 74 while their teammates combined for a score of 241 (25-over par). That landed the Golden Eagles in 14th place out of 18 teams. “We just didn’t have the complete team effort we needed,” Bailey said. “We basically had two guys show up in both rounds we played.” Konieczki, whose 10th place finish tied his career best, said the weather had an impact on the team’s second round performance. “It was really windy the second day and some of the guys got off to a rough start,”

Konieczki said. “I wouldn’t say they (my teammates) gave up, but it got to their head. And they got frustrated. They weren’t picking the right irons for the right fairways, and they weren’t playing conservative and playing the safe shot to the right pin.” Marquette is a young team, with only two upperclassmen on the roster, and Motz said the frustration with the weather was especially evident with the freshmen. “Our younger guys haven’t played under those conditions nearly as much as we (the upperclassmen) have,” Motz said. “I think they just have to get out there and experience everything and get some more rounds under their belt before they start closing out some solid rounds.” However, Bailey wasn’t convinced that the wind was much of a factor and was unwilling to make any excuses for the Golden Eagles’ finish. “Obviously other teams were able to post good scores, and we weren’t one of them,” Bailey said. “We’re used to playing in bad conditions being a school from the Midwest, so there aren’t any excuses for us.” Bailey pointed more to the team’s continued struggles in the short game as cause. No player finished 18 holes in any round with 30 putts or less. “We had a few big numbers on a couple holes,” Bailey said, “and when you have double bogey and higher on a few holes it’s going to be tough to gain ground on other teams.” Bailey took the positives with the negatives and has opted to move on. “I think we’ve proven we could make a lot of birdies,” Bailey said. “I think our team was in the top five or so in birdies made in the tournament, and it was good to see a freshman (Swift) have a good first round.”

Senior Alyssa Stevens will compete in just her fourth meet ever this weekend.
Cross-country
Meet offers taste of Big East MU will see this course at Big East Championships By A.W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu
A few months ago, redshirt senior Alyssa Stevens was frustrated with herself and her sport. She was “ready to hang up her cleats.” These days, nothing is further from the truth, as Stevens is reinvigorated by a new team — joining the Marquette women’s cross-country team after three years of track and field. “My last year on the track team, I was doing better with distance so it made sense for me to do cross-country,” Stevens said. “The transition was quite easy. It’s great having other people to run with.” Although coach Mike Nelson is pleased with her transition, he is still waiting for Stevens’ competitive performances to equal what she’s done in practice. This weekend there’s an opportunity to do so at the Greater Louisville Classic in Kentucky, and Stevens is eager to take advantage. “This weekend is my fourth race ever,” Stevens said. “And I just try to get better every single week. I want more experience; my goal is to just improve.” To continue moving forward, both the men’s and women’s teams will look to overcome another obstacle this weekend by jumping back in to competitive racing after two weeks of rest. Some teams would let the lull pacify their competitive edge, but Nelson is positive the teams will stay on track. “I think emotionally it will help us,” he said. “Every race you drain your emotional bank account, and now we were able to refill that.
“Both teams are excited about the race, and we can’t coach excitement. I hope it will help them run a little faster.” Junior Connor Callahan agreed, adding that Louisville’s flat course lends itself to a quicker opening mile. He also stated that the Golden Eagles’ runners should pay extra attention to the course this weekend, which is the site for the Big East Cross-Country Championships on Oct. 29. “We get to see where it’s hosted,” Callahan said. “And when you’re previewing a course, it’s about finding strategies that might work. If there’s a hill at one point you now know how to prepare for it, or you figure out whether to start conservatively or harder.” Nelson values this scouting experience immensely and has taken great strides to make this weekend a “trial run” for the Big East championship. “We’re going to leave at the same time for conference as we’re going to leave this Friday. Take the same bus, take the same route, stay at the same hotel, and obviously run the same course,” he said. “Having gone through that and practiced is all an advantage for us. Everything won’t be totally new.” Callahan, Stevens and Nelson believe that this weekend’s team will be at its best, with runners using the weeks off to get healthy. Callahan emphasized the return of sophomore Jack Senefeld, while Nelson was excited about the team in general. “I feel like this is the first time this season where we will be close to full strength,” Nelson said. “You’ll never really be at full strength at this point, but we’re close.” “For the team, we’ve got a lot of girls coming back from injury,” Stevens said. “Our team goal is to keep working hard to get better.”
