“There’s lots of other families … that might be going through a tough situation and there’s that unity sense that people are all in this together,” Baranoucky said. “There’s a lot of families that they meet each other and they talk about their experience … There’s just so much community building that happens today.”
Emil Neidinger, a Slinger, Wisconsin resident and participant of the Briggs and Al’s run, has participated in the event for the past 45 years. He showed up wearing the original T-shirt from the first ever Briggs and Al’s Run that was signed by Al McGuire 10 years later.
The Briggs and Al’s run was started 45 years ago by former Marquette University men’s basketball head coach, Al McGuire. Today, Marquette is still involved in the event and offers their campus up to be the starting line for the race.
“To see the 8,000 plus people come back today is really exciting,” TroyBaranouckysaid. said her favorite part about the event is seeing all of the patient families and community supporters come together in support of Children’s Wisconsin.

Troy said Children’s Wisconsin is appreciative for all of Marquette’s help with the event.

Shew said that the COVID-19 pandemic caused some women to “downshift” their careers and make changes that men did not have to make. Shew said that some women had to sacrifice their professional goals and that will have negative repercussions.“Womenof color are especially affected in these ways, so as we think about what leadership looks like for the future of organizations, it must include listening to what women from all backgrounds are saying they need to lead from a position of strength, not a position of reacting to the status quo,” Shew said in an email.

“Out of all the coffee shops in the whole city I have been to, the Brew is the one I frequent the most, which says a lot,” Quinlan said. Quinlan prefers the Brew location at the AMU over the other three.

“Accessibility and inclusion are two keys of this festival,” Blanks said. “We tried to make it accessible in terms of making [everything] affordable and having events around the city. In terms of inclusion, even though we center people of color and queer folk and the lived experiences of those groups, this is for everybody.”

This past week, the Oriental Theatre hosted its fourth annual Cultures & Community Festival, a spotlight on the many culturally diverse and challenging films showcased at the theater.
“The old Cream City brick walls, the shabby chic painted door wall, the large windows and the music all help to create a unique space that is different from anything else on campus,” Georgiev said.
“What’s really cool about [the Cultures & Communities Festival] is that we’re taking arts, culture, health and wellness and combining them in a fun way,” Blanks said. “If you think about the intersections between art, culture, wellness and equity, it’s the things that I think are really important to people. We’re trying not to be overly academic – there are certainly academic parts –but it’s a festival. It should be a celebration.”

Many college students do not report their assaults out of fear. Fear of retaliation from the per petrator, fear that they would not be taken seriously by authorities and fear that they do not have proof so they will not be be lieved. We all must make a more conscious effort to recognize and validate survivors – wheth er or not they choose to report their assault.
It is important to note that if a student is sexually assaulted on campus, it does not mean that they were being “reckless.” It does not mean that they did not take preventative measures or are at fault for what happened to them. Subscribing to that kind of victim-blaming mentality is harmful and ignorant.

The British monarchy may be a novelty for some, but for many, it is a constant reminder of their country’s coloniza tion by the monarchy and an ever-present symbol of white supremacy. Many are calling for the abolition of the monar chy. The history of England’s colonization spans over every continent except Antarctica.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went on a tour of the Caribbean in March of 2022. They were met with pro tests calling for reparations for the British empire’s involve ment in the slave trade. Many could not ignore the colonial undertones.TheJamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness told the two
The world has changed greatly since Elizabeth began her reign 70 years ago. Yet the monarchy has changed very little. This begs the question: Why does the monarchy still exist? Some claim it’s good for tourism, but France hasn’t had a monarch since Napoleon yet nearly 10 million people visit Versailles each year.

Holness said, “There are issues here, which are, as you would know, unresolved, but your presence gives an opportunity for those issues to be placed in context, put front and cen ter, and to be addressed. But Jamaica is, as you would see, a country that is very proud of our history, very proud of what we have achieved.”
Despite this, the explicit con tent in question is not BDSM related, instead, it is aimed at the LGBTQ+ community. For Banned Books Week 2021, the three books that were challenged the most had sexually explicit all included LGBTQ+ content.

Banned Books Week is an awareness week put on by the American Library Asso ciation in order to fight against censorship in our schools and libraries, specifically target ing the banning and challeng ing of books. Banned Books Week 2022 began Sept. 18, signaling an ageless fight to our intellectual freedom.
In 2019, eight out of 10 of the year’s most challenged books included LGBTQ+ content. These are the discussions that must be had.

tortured, raped and had other violations committed against them. It was later shown that the British made a concerted effort to cover up what they had committed. Yet we at tempt to sanitize Queen Elizabeth’s reign.
“To Kill a Mocking Bird” was challenged due to the elements of rape and the use of profanity, such as the “n-word.” Hanover County, Virginia called the book “immoral” in 1966.
The Queen told Indians “his tory cannot be rewritten” ref erencing the 1919 massacre in Jallianwala Bagh. Hundreds of Indians were shot and killed by British troops. This flippant comment is a sorry excuse for the death of hundreds. In 2015, when the former prime minis ter David Cameron was visiting Jamaica and when asked about reparations his response was to “move on”.
The continued existence of the monarchy suggests that the privileged have a right to be at the top of society. It says that, with no real merit, millions of dollars of taxpayer money are owed to the institution. The seemingly ancient class divi sions have not died out, they have simply morphed into something new. Social mobility still proves to be very difficult.

Pelaez’ squad begins Big East play Thursday at DePaul
It was the second time this season the Golden Eagles had scored two goals in the first half.
“I (have) said before, we got two goalkeepers that are very strong,” Pelaez said. “Today, I kind of split them because I thought it was only fair. We had a good conversation be forehand and they are such

Jamal Cain stole the show in the dunk contest as he dunked over 7-foot forward Jayce Johnson to win it. Megan Duffy made her first introduction to students as head coach. The night was then ended with a concert by international artist T-Pain.

However, one thing that hasn’t changed for Bray is what she thinks about before every game: what hairstyle she is go ing to put on.

“So, I called them (my par ents) after and they were like ‘You should have seen it, we got all these texts from people watching the game, everyone’s like “Look at Hattie she’s fi nally playing,”’” Bray said. “I think that was the part where I was like wow, I really have kind of made it.”
