MUSG, BSC, LASO leaders removed from offices

Community members have varied reactions to university decision

By Julia Abuzzahab, Megan Woolard julianna.abuzzahab@marquette.edu megan.woolard@marquette.edu

Student leaders from orga nizations such as Marquette University Student Govern ment, Black Student Council and Latin American Student Organization will be forced to step down from their lead ership offices after their in volvement in a demonstra tion last August at the New Student Convocation.

Student demonstrators called for more support for students of color on campus, citing staffing and resource deficits. Marquette’s administration rescheduled the convocation, saying that it could not con tinue while the students dem onstrated. As a result of their involvement, the students are facing various disciplinary ac tions from the university such as fines and community ser vice. They also must develop an educational program on the university

demonstration policy.

The university’s disci plinary procedure has been questioned following the proceedings and some cam pus community members are calling for the students’ immediate reinstatement.

The students appealed the decision, but they were denied.

Marquette has said that the students involved were directed to

the student code of conduct process and that the univer sity cannot comment spe cifically on the matter due to student confidentiality.

“The student conduct pro cess is separate from student organization leadership poli cies. It is a longstanding policy outlined in Marquette’s stu dent organization guidelines that the officers of all student organizations, as well as the elected and appointed sena tors and officials of MUSG, must be in good standing

(not on academic or dis ciplinary probation) at the time of their election or ap pointment and throughout their terms of office,” the university said in a statement.

Following the news, some members of campus feel that the university has made a mis take in its ruling. Max Her nandez, a senior in the College of Engineering and member of LASO, said the student lead ers spoke up for issues con cerning their communities and were punished for it.

“The whole reason why this was done was for lack of resources in the minority

Indigeneity lab continues work on campus

Indigenous MKE tours among most recent projects at MU

By Clara Lebrón clara.lebron@marquette.edu

On Indigenous People’s Day of 2020, leaders of the Native American Student Associa tion had organized community members, Native activists and faculty, to demonstrate and shed light on Indigenous issues on campus.

As a response, John Su, vice

provost for academic affairs, de cided he wanted to give Indig enous issues a platform on cam pus. Su then recruited Samantha Mahjor, a professor in the Eng lish department and Marquette’s only Native faculty member, and Bryan Rindfleisch, a profes sor in the history department.

“The three of us basically brainstormed things we could do for native students and issues on campus, and one of the things that really took off was this Indi geneity Lab,” Rindfleisch said.

Finding MU’s favorite spots for homework, reading

Whether its filing into Raynor Library between classes, gath ering for group projects on the Bridge or finding a quiet study room, students can be seen nestling into their favorite spots across campus daily.

The college experience and studying go hand in hand, and

community,” Hernandez said.

“We had some questions, and we still haven’t had the an swers from Marquette. Since we didn’t have the answers, a lot of our student lead ers decided to try and get those answers and they were punished for trying to look for them.”

Sean De Asis, a junior in the College of Engineering and vice president of internal for the Bayanihan Student Or ganization said that remov ing the students in leader ship positions only hinders the diverse community and

safe spaces that Marquette is trying to expand.

“It’s kind of ironic because most of our basis is on Mar quette’s stance of ‘cura per sonalis’ which is care for the whole person, and if we’re doing that in our own or ganizations, why is Mar quette not doing that for our community?” De Asis said.

De Asis also said that he is scared of how Marquette is planning to retain and sup port students of color after this decision.

“They [Marquette] should’ve been open to listen and allevi ate, but instead they sought out punishment,” De Asis said.

“They didn’t want to directly remove people, so they felt that probation was just the way by technicality to get them out of power.”

Hernandez has also advo cated that the students be re appointed to their respective leadership positions. Howev er, some other members of the greater campus community, such as Marquette parent Rob in Winkler, have expressed their discontentment with the student’s actions.

“They took away so much from the incoming students and that is not how MU oper ates. They just made it harder to want to support this group

... All voices matter but when you do it appropriately. I have a senior and I have nev er seen this disrespect to the larger community on campus before,” Winkler comment ed on the Marquette parent Facebook page.

Other campus commu nity members suggested that the students face suspen sion or expulsion and receive financial penalties.

“Almost 2,000 students and their families were affected by this demonstration and it is obvious the leaders of this university know who they are and should find a monetary way to let them share in the

disappointing result of their actions,” Tim Kilcoin, a Mar quette alum, commented on the parent page.

While some expressed their disapproval for the student demonstrators online, some student-run meme pages are defending the students. Some student organizations are still hoping the university will reverse the decision.

While there is no set policy in place yet for replacing these student leaders, MUSG is cur rently conducting a survey on the best way to proceed.

SURVEY: Raynor more popular than Memorial

Continued

Where is your favorite study spot? Why it was their favor ite study spot? And which li brary do you prefer: Raynor or Memorial?

Out of the 100 responses, there were 32 first-year stu dents, 43 sophomores, 10 juniors, 13 seniors and two graduate students.

Out of those surveyed, 31% of first-years said they prefer studying in their own resi dence, whether it be their dorm or the study rooms.

Sophomores seemed to have a calling to study in Raynor, with about 25% of sophomores saying that that library is their “go-to” study spot. This does not include the Bridge.

The juniors tied between Me morial and the Bridge for their favorite study spots, with both getting three responses in favor.

Out of the seniors surveyed, Memorial was the top choice with three responses, making 23% of seniors surveyed pre ferring the older library.

It was a toss up between Memorial and the law school for the two graduate students, splitting the difference at 50%.

In total, 23% of students sur veyed preferred to study in their dorm or apartment rather than other places across campus. Twenty two percent preferred to study in Raynor and 17% of students were compelled to study somewhere in Memorial.

Overall there was a prefer ence for Raynor to Memorial with 66% of students choos ing the first library. Seniors surveyed chose Memorial over Raynor (four to Raynor

and nine to Memorial), juniors chose Raynor over Memorial (seven Raynor to three Me morial), sophomores chose Raynor (28 Raynor to 15 me morial) and the graduate stu dents were split between both libraries, with both getting one vote each.

Lauren Frank, a sophomore in the College of Health Sci ences, said she prefers Memo rial over Raynor because of the atmosphere.

“I like Memorial because it is quieter, I know I can go to a place and it will be dead silent and I can be productive and get my stuff done,” Frank said.

First-years preferred Raynor over Memorial in a landslide decision with 25 first-years choosing Raynor to seven stu dents choosing Memorial.

Sam Mellas, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sci ences, said his favorite study spot is Raynor, not because of preference but for convenience. He said it was the place that he went to his first year and he hasn’t looked for anywhere else. He noted that since he lives in Schroeder, the trek isn’t all that far.

Blake Bujanovich, a firstyear in the College of Business Administration, prefers Memo rial for the silence, but suspects that students preferred Raynor because of the lighting.

“I think the reason is that there is a lot more light. The problem with Memorial is … there’s not much light go ing into it. Whereas Raynor has a lot more natural light. Students tend to crave that,” Bujanovich said.

Although the lack of traffic

in Memorial is nice, Bujanov ich says the lighting can create a strain on the eyes, especially while working with textbooks.

A point that was brought up more often than not was the lighting and how it impacts where students want to study. People who were looking for more natural lighting would tend to go to places such as the Bridge, the Law School or the Engineering hall.

Kallie Krueger, a sophomore in the College of Business Ad ministration, said that lighting has an impact on where she likes to study on campus.

“I used to study in Brooks Lounge and I can’t study in there anymore because the lighting puts me to sleep,” Krueger said. “I like Memo rial lighting because it is a brighter light and I can focus a lot better.”

Research shows that natural lighting and blue lighting are large contributors to students’ attention to their studies. Stud ies show that learning can be improved by 20% when a class room has more natural lighting. This has to do with how it im pacts the sleep-wake cycle and how the brain stays active in better lighting. Blue-light also has a similar impact.

When looking into reasons why students choose certain spots over others, it seemed that there were a variety of fac tors being considered. When students are studying in the library, they are looking for a quiet place where they can silently work by themselves. Students who preferred to work in louder environments such as the Bridge, Brew or Brooks

Lounge in the AMU were look ing for a place where it is not too quiet and has healthy dis tractions from their work.

Whether studying in Cudahy, Johnston Hall or even Half aer theater, there are plenty of places to call favorite.

INDIGENEITY: tour stop at Marquette

Continued from page 1

queline Fontain Schram, direc tor of public affairs and special assistant for Native American Affairs, joined faculty efforts to help kickstart the initiative.

Marquette’s Indigeneity Lab offers learning opportunities to students through faculty-men tored research. This research is aimed to increase understanding and awareness of Indigenous is sues in Milwaukee.

The lab has been functioning over the last two years, con ducting several projects. Re search has included an archival research project on Catholic Indian boarding schools, and a study into the possibility of reintroducing wild rice seed varieties into the Menomonee River Valley.

Rebecca DeBoer, a Marquette alumn and current graduate stu dent at Vanderbilt, was one of the students who worked on the archival research project.

“I had to go through a bunch of boxes in the library archives that they have in Raynor, and it

was a bunch of picking out box es and sorting through hundreds of documents,” DeBoer said.

The project was meant to create awareness on the reali ties of Indian Catholic Board ing Schools, and how the schools themselves represented the treatment.

“I see it in two different ways. I think for indigenous students it [the Indigeneity Lab] is such a powerful tool. These students have their own way of seeing the world and their own stories, and I think it could be very use ful for Marquette and Milwau kee as a whole,” DeBoer said.

However, the Indigene ity Lab’s most recent proj ect has been their Indigenous Milwaukee Tours.

“We collaborated with His toric Milwaukee Inc. on the app that just launched. They do a lot of historical projects in the city,” Rindfleisch said.

The tour is narrated by several faculty members and student re searchers from the Lab, leading virtual audiences to several In digenous landmarks in the city.

The narrations, which fea tures the voice of Rindfleisch amongst others, lead listeners from the Third Ward Grave yards, to the Milwaukee Public Museum, to University-Wis consin of Milwaukee’s Panther Stadium where annual pow wows are celebrated.

One of the landmarks, in fact, is located squarely on Marquette Campus. The Living Land and Water Acknowledgement outside the Alumni Memorial Union is marked as a landmark, although the landmark hasn’t been established by Marquette Administration yet.

The installation was designed by Kristelle Ulrich, a local art educator and member of the Oneida tribe.

The Historic Milwaukee In corporated application features several tours. The Indigenous Milwaukee tour features a sprawling picture of Mauricio Ramirez’ “Our Roots Say That We’re Sisters” as its cover pic ture. The snapshot is taken from the mural displayed outside the Alumni Memorial Union on

Marquette’s campus.

“I took the tour once because I just like walking around. I didn’t even know how many areas were important to Indig enous people in Milwaukee, or how close I was to them,” Amanda Hingorani, a sopho more in the College of Arts & Sciences, said.

The Indigeneity Lab operates in the summer, offering students an opportunity to fully immerse themselves in their research.

However, not all stu dents are able to fully immerse themselves.

“I can only speak for the few students I’ve worked with, but the students receive a stipend during the summer. Despite this, students have had to work two jobs while also conducting re search. This prevents students from giving their full attention to the project,” Rindfleisch said.

Students from the Indigene ity Lab were recently honored with Student Activist Awards from the Wisconsin Institute For Peace and Conflict Studies, gar nering praise for their contribu tions to activism.

However, Rindfleisch ex pressed that this praise has not correlated with monetary or administrative support for the program.

“The crazy thing is that de spite all of the publicity and the great work that the students are doing, The lab is only surviving on a year-to-year basis. Even right now we don’t know if the lab will continue next year,” Rindfleisch said.

Although the program oper ates over the summer, projects keep developing over the year.

MU students “Ignite” their faith over s’mores night

obligations and social distractions as soon as they step onto campus, Ignite Marquette strives to help students navigate how to maintain their faith away from home.

By Erin Howard erin.howard@marquette.edu

The smell of s’mores, the sound of music and the sight of students gathering in prayer, could all be observed outside the Alumni Memorial Union Oct. 5.

Ignite Marquette is a Campus Ministry organization that aims to bring students together in order to strengthen their faith and provide opportunities to worship as a Marquette community.

Every Wednesday evening from 7:30-8:30 p.m., students can expect an hour of inspirational speakers, prayer and a safe place for reflection.

For Melanie Lang, a senior in the College of Health Sciences and co-director of the Ignite Marquette Communications Team, this s’mores night was a perfect example of what a typical Ignite gathering looks like.

“Our Ignite events welcome all people to share in community and fellowship with each other,” Lang said. “We always try to open the room up for discussion and we just like to spread positive vibes.”

Since some college students can be faced with new academic

Donny Robbins, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and Ignite member, said that growing your faith in college is possible, as long as you are fully committed to doing so.

“It’s really just about making my faith a number one priority,” Robbins said. “I pray every single day, so that’s just time for me and God alone. I also do a lot of community things like attending Mass every Sunday and coming to events such as Ignite, where I can connect with my faith and be surrounded by other people.”

While the organization is rooted in Catholic faith and prayer, Kayla DiFranco, a senior in the College of Business Administration and co-director of the Ignite Marquette communications team, said that this idea should not discourage students of other faiths from getting involved with Ignite.

“Ignite is one of the most inviting places that you could be,” DiFranco said. “We welcome people from every single religious background, so this is definitely a great place to start if you’re looking to begin on your faith journey.”

First-year students are invited to

attend Ignite events and discover a community that wants to support them as they further their transition into college life.

“One of our goals this year is to reach out to more first-year students,” Lang said. “Sometimes the first year at Marquette can be super intimidating, so we want Ignite to be a group where they [first-year students] can find a very welcoming group of people right when they come to campus.”

students can expect an enjoyable environment at each one.

“Ignite is just something fun … it makes me want to keep coming back,” Robbins said. “I look forward to every guest speaker because everyone brings something new to the table. I’m also excited for some of the retreats coming up.”

“I hope that students who are interested in deepening their faith life can find a place where they can meet other people who share those same beliefs and also share and talk with people who have diverse beliefs too,” DiFranco said.

Academic survey reveals faculty discontent at MU

By Megan Woolard megan.woolard@marquette.edu

Despite being named sixth best employer in Wisconsin by Forbes, some Marquette faculty have expressed concerns surrounding faculty morale and staffing issues.

Survey results announced during last month’s University Academic Senate meeting revealed that no department chairs surveyed reported that they strongly agree that morale is positive. The highest category was “disagree” by both tenured/ tenure track and full-time/nontenured track faculty.

Even with reports of low morale, the university still ranks 83rd in the U.S. News and World Report Best Colleges rankings. Marquette is also ranked 12th in the peer-nominated list for undergraduate teaching.

“It’s always nice to receive external recognition from a reputable organization such as Forbes,” Claudia Paetsch, Marquette vice president of human resources, said in an email.

“Given the current challenges employers are facing nationwide in attracting and retaining talent, this accolade can only benefit Marquette’s recruiting efforts to a broader population.”

The academic senate survey also revealed that 83% of people that responded disclosed a difficulty sufficiently staffing courses, 78% said there is a challenge filling department and university service jobs due to faculty staffing changes, 66% disagreed that they have adequate capacity to teach the courses obligated by their major(s) or programs and 50% disagreed that they have adequate capacity to instruct classes with a suitable faculty-to-student ratio.

“These concerns were not concentrated in any one college. They were expressed by many across the university,” Amber Wichowsky, professor and assistant chair of political science, said in the academic senate meeting.

Wichowsky also said that the survey was emailed to 39 faculty members, but only 18 of them responded, making for a 46% response rate. An individual from each college answered, except for the College of Business Administration and the School

When asked about the plans and events Ignite has in store for this year, Robbins said that of Dentistry.

While gazing around at fellow students biting into s’mores and engaging in conversations, DiFranco said that the overall takeaways from these Ignite events are valuable to all people.

The weekly Ignite meetings are open for any student to drop in and participate at any time, and no signup is required. In case a student would like to experience Ignite but is unable to participate in person, they are asked to join a virtual livestream via Ignite Marquette’s Instagram: @ignitemarquette.

Over 10 years ago in 2011, Marquette had 481 tenure-track faculty but less total faculty with 1,175. Full data from the fall semester human resource census will be available Nov. 1. The university has hired at least 54 full time faculty members this year.

Issues over faculty satisfaction are not new to Marquette. Back in 2021, there was a protest over the university eliminating 39 positions. There was additional outrage over the university not renewing a “single digit percentage” of nontenure-track faculty contracts.

Regardless of faculty morale or staffing concerns, one Marquette student understands how the university could receive its Forbes placement.

Wendy Butler, director of organizational development, credits the top-10 ranking to the employees of the university themselves.

Remembering James Kincaid: “a wonderful colleague”

Former chemistry chair beloved by his MU community

By Julia Abuzzahab julianna.abuzzahab@marquette.edu

James Kincaid, former professor of chemistry and chair of the department of chemistry, passed away Sept. 26 after getting pneumonia while having preexisting conditions at 77 years old.

Kincaid spent 38 years at Marquette and became department chair in 2017.

Joseph Clark, assistant professor of chemistry and colleague of Kincaid, said the first thing that stood out to him about Kincaid was how passionate he was about his research and how much he cared about solving impactful problems in public health.

“Jim was a very social guy and somebody that I could stop by [t0]. He’d be there every day at least before the pandemic in his office and I could stop by every time, and he really took a great pride in solving problems as they came up in the department and event if you had something small or an issue or a question or whatever it was, he was always available,” Clark said.

Clark said Kincaid had received funding from the National Institute of Health around the time he had started at Marquette. Clark said he had an RO1 grant, which is one of the largest grants one can receive to

solve high-impact problems.

Working to receive his own grant from the NIH, Clark said Kincaid always gave him important feedback.

“I think [that] eventually helped me get my NIH grant because you really gotta think about this with a certain mentality- he [Kincaid], he had that ability,” Clark said.

Clark said that since these grants are extremely competitive to receive, one has to have good

ideas for it to be continually funded throughout the years and also show a lot of productivity.

“Jim was able to do that I think better than any faculty that’s ever been at Marquette,” Clark said. “He is somebody that from day one I came here and I said ‘That’s who I aspire to be in terms of research.’”

Clark said Kincaid was the best of the best.

Michael Ryan, former professor of chemistry, said that Kincaid

began his career at Marquette as a workaholic and said he was constantly on campus. However, as time went on, Ryan said he began to find a better balance and spent lots of time with his children and grandchildren.

“He refused to be called ‘grandpa,’ and his grandchildren were his ‘buddies,’” Ryan said in an email. “His daughter forbade him to have them call him ‘professor’ so they settled on ‘buddy.’ When he really annoyed me and wouldn’t drop something, I would say to him: ‘If you don’t stop it, I am going to call grandpa.’ It always worked.”

Jier Huang, associate professor of chemistry, said she had also received help from Kincaid throughout her career at Marquette. Huang said with English being her second language, Kincaid often read her proposals to help with the wording.

The first time Huang met Kincaid was when she interviewed for her position at Marquette.

“When I came for [the] interview, I met him in his office and he was super, super nice and he made me really comfortable,” Huang said.

“[Normally] a person who comes to an interview would be nervous, but if you were in his office, he would make you comfortable.”

Since interviewing at Marquette, Huang said she had developed a strong friendship with Kincaid.

“He’s my friend, so we actually went out for lunch quite often before the pandemic … we often shared stories. He always had very

interesting stories to share with me and I enjoyed that,” Huang said.

Huang said that Kincaid had many rules about food. She said that he liked French onion soup, but had a rule that he could only have it in the fall or on a cloudy day.

Huang said another story Kincaid often shared with her was when he was driving his red sports car along the lake and got pulled over.

“He decided to go to court … he argued and then negotiated with the person in the court. And then they finally they agreed to one rule that he plea guilty, but because he was driving too slow, not because [he] was speeding. Funny,” Huang said.

Even being diagnosed with cancer, Ryan said he was always in an upbeat mood.

“In spite of the poor odds, he was always positive. He continued to talk to me about the future and what he was going to do until the end. That was inspirational to me,” Ryan said in an email.

Marquette University is holding a Mass in the Church of Gesu Oct. 12 at 5 p.m. in Kincaid’s honor where a celebration of life reception will follow in the Alumni Memorial Union’s Lunda Room.

Instead of flowers, people could recognize Kincaid’s legacy by donating to the memorial scholarship of his late niece, Katherine Kincaid Scholarship at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy.

“He was a wonderful colleague,” Huang said.

Dance Medicine Journal Club broadens horizons

Students interested in health benefits of aerobic exercise

By Sophia Tiedge sophia.tiedge@marquette.edu

Some people might think it’s beneficial to love the profession you choose for the rest of your life. Through Marquette’s Dance Medicine Journal Club, students in the medical field have found ways to learn about how their passion for dance can apply to their careers in medicine.

Dance medicine studies the motions associated with dance. The way dancers move is different from the injuries that develop in other sports, since the movements can be complicated.

In their meetings, the members will come prepared to talk about a scholarly journal article related to dance medicine.

Amanda Krahn, a doctorate of physical therapy student, said they get these articles from the

Dance Medicine and Science.

Christopher Geiser, a clinical associate professor and program director of athletic training, sits in on the meetings to help students understand the material.

Geiser was formerly employed by the Milwaukee Ballet. Geiser said gives a good perspective to the members of the club and allows them to make connections to the professional world of dance.

Krahn said that if members aren’t sure if they want to pursue a career in dance medicine, this perspective can help them get a better idea.

“We send out an article or video about anything from dance as medicine to a case study about dancers and the lasting psychological effects of dance on dancers. We then break down the information into smaller pieces and dive into what it means to be a current/former dancer in the world of medicine,” Francesca Young, junior in the College of Health Sciences, said.

The journal articles they choose

could be about new technology or prominent research in the world of dance medicine.

The DMJC members range from first-year undergraduate students to members of doctorate programs. Some members are involved in Dance Inc. and Pure Dance at Marquette.

“We’re all coming from different backgrounds of what we know so far, but it’s still fun to pull out what we’ve learned and apply it to the medical journals,” AnnMarie Roscoe, a junior in the College of Health Sciences and a member of Dance Inc, said.

For some of the members, DMJC gives them direct knowledge into their dream career, so they can go into their jobs already knowing valuable information.

“My dream since entering college was to be a dance medicine physical therapist” Krahn said. She said this club has helped her gain more experience for her future career in this field.

Even if members aren’t looking to work in dance medicine,

this club still helps them in their studies.

Before college, members of the club have been involved in

to do and still love, and connect that and use examples in my brain to apply it to what I’m learning. This helps me with tests and understanding material,” Roscoe said.

Young joined DMJC because she wanted to relate her prior knowledge of dance to the information she was learning in class.

DMJC isn’t named an official club yet, but they’re hoping to obtain that status in the coming semester.

“This semester we are going to try to build the club and the members. The hardest part is finding specific individuals interested in the rehabilitation side of dance medicine since it’s such a niche group of students” Krahn said.

performance dance companies and competitive teams throughout their lives.

“I can take something I used

They’ve recently done study sessions at the library to help each other prepare for important tests and they’ve organized some team bonding activities.

I can take something I used to do and still love, and connect that and use examples in my brain to apply it to what I’m learning.”

said she tried different student organizations but ultimately found her place at LASO.

“I attended one of their first meetings and I felt like I found my place, so decided to become a part of it and I got to meet new people and build a lot of strong friendships that would last a lifetime,” Guiterrez said.

Although it can be difficult, Guiterrez encourages students to take a risk to find a sense of community on campus. Guiterrez said coming from a

small high school, she felt that everyone else had a community and a group of friends until she joined LASO.

“Someone once told me you should be willing to feel uncomfortable sometimes and willing to like try new things that scare you,” Guiterrez said. “These people look like me, we share the same culture … and I took that risk and I started attending their meetings. This was the best decision that I could do.”

HGPM’s mission is “to connect and unite Hispanic professionals, students and the community with rich heritage, strong leadership and impactful initiatives.” HGPM also wants to be a leading resource for professional development.

Guadalupe Gomez Soto, a junior in the College of Business and president of HPGM, said she was an HPGM scholarship recipient last year and that’s what initiated her involvement in the Marquette chapter.

Gomez Soto said the organization is bringing students together after a lot of student interaction was limited.

“I felt like being part of this program and having a leadership position could help me maximize the interaction that students have on campus,” Gomez Soto said.

After commuting for a semester, Gomez Soto said she wants to build a community for both students that live on campus and commuters.

“I love the people [at HPGM]. I love [the] professional aspect, and I love that I could also interact with other students that were not in my grade level,” Gomez Soto said.

Multicultural organizations create a space on campus for students to feel comfortable sharing their stories, Gomez Soto said, and they build trust with the community.

Guiterrez and Gomez Soto encourage students to come to their meetings and upcoming events and to follow LASO and HPGM on social media.

Student interns lead campus sustainability efforts

Intiatives include thrifted clothing, resuable containers

By Kiley Brockway kiley.brockway@marquette.edu

October is campus sustainability month at Marquette University. The purpose of this initiative is to educate the Marquette community on ecofriendly choices and encourage them to develop environmentally considerate habits.

At Marquette several students are making the campus more sustainable through different initiatives. One sustainable effort is the reinstatement of the green Ozzi containers in dining halls throughout campus.

Chelsea Malacara, sustainability and energy management coordinator, is working on this project alongside student interns.

The Green Ozzi containers are reusable containers that students are able to take their dining hall meals to-go in. Currently, they are only available at Schroeder dining and Marquette Place in the Alumni Memorial Union.

Ally Olsen, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, is one of the student interns working with Malacara on the project.

“This is the first time that we took initiative and decided we

needed to get them back into use. Especially with a lot of students taking food to go still, it’s important that we don’t use all of those disposable containers and have all that waste that we are generating,” Olsen said.

Olsen said that students need to let the dining employees know that they wish to take their meal to go in one of the containers. Students may return the container to one of the two return machines. Both Schroeder dining and the AMU have return machines. Students can return their containers to either return location, no matter where they originally got the container from.

Olsen said that many students are not aware that these containers are an option for taking food to go. She hopes that promotional efforts over the next year will help educate students on how the container system works and why it is important to take advantage of it.

According to a 2018 study done by the Environmental Protection Agency, containers and packaging produced 82.2 million tons of waste that year. Food and beverage containers and packaging were two contributing products.

The same type of one time use containers are what students are currently using to take food togo. By offering this reusable alternative, Olsen hopes that the green Ozzi containers will help

reduce the amount of waste the campus generates.

A student-run effort that pushes to make another sustainable change on campus is Rewear it MU. The organization holds “clothing swaps” once a month.

As co-founder Paula Paliwoda, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, described it, the swaps are just like thrifting, but for free. Students are not required to bring items to the swap in order to participate in it.

“[The clothing swaps] inspire students to be a little more sustainable and also shows how sustainability does not have to be expensive or super hard,” Paliwoda said.

saw over 642 items swapped and saved 879,000 gallons of water, Paliwoda said. Clothing manufacturing uses a significant amount of water, so shopping second hand helps eliminate that usage. The next clothing swap will take place Oct. 14 from 2-4 p.m. in the AMU.

Similar to the Green Ozzi containers, Rewear it MU strives to encourage the student body to practice sustainable living, in any capacity they can. Paliwoda also mentioned how they are using Instagram to educate the student body on sustainable habits, business and products.

“If we want to advocate for the well-being of all, like Marquette’s mission is ‘being the difference,’

[then] I think it’s important to know exactly where your things are coming from,” Paliwoda said. Malacara said campus sustainability month has the potential to have major impacts on the student body and the community.

“I want folks to be inspired to take action, feel encouraged that Marquette is moving the needle forward on advancing sustainable practices here, and to be empowered to be a part of that advancement at Marquette and beyond,” Malacara said.

Sustainability events and activities will be held across campus for the remainder of the month.

“Noche de Karaoke” was held Oct. 7 by HPGM and Marquette’s LASO to rebuild community on campus.

REVIEW: Buzzing about Putnam County Spelling Bee

Theater department opens their first show of school year

By Phoebe Goebel phoebe.goebel@marquette.edu

When I was told the plot of the play was about an elementary school spelling bee, I expected a boring, innocent and naive narrative. To my surprise, these expectations were wrong. “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” performed by Marquette Theater did not fall short of expectations.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” opened its doors Oct. 7 at the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre. The show will run through

Oct. 16, which will be the final performance of a total of seven shows.

The show is a musical comedy and follows six nerdy tweens who are competing in a spelling bee, and the three adults running the bee are just as nerdy.

The musical was carried through the quirkiness of the characters. I think that the actors did a great job of portraying each of these characters, and each of them was able to highlight the unique characteristic that they had.

Going into the musical, I expected the jokes to be PG. To my surprise, some of the jokes contained very mature references, and even one song was focused on a dirty joke. Chip Tollentino, played by Sam Gutierrez, a senior in the College of Communication, was the character who was

the center of the joke. After getting too excited about a girl, Chip misspells a word and begins to sell concessions to the audience.

He breaks out in a song called “My Unfortunate Erection” and sings about how his male desires got in the way of his spelling.

With so many young children in the audience, I was a little shocked and uncomfortable with this song. I witnessed a lot of parents and children share awkward eye contact. I don’t know if this was the purpose of the song, but I wasn’t a fan.

Another one of my favorite characters from the bee was Marcy Park. Marcy, played by Alex Merkel, a junior in the College of Business Administration, went from being an academic powerhouse to someone who was

finally able to let loose. Merkel did a great job portraying this role, and truly embodied the transformation that the character went through.

An additional part of the musical that was unexpected was the audience’s participation in the story. We were made to feel as though we were watching a real spelling bee, instead of just a musical. Along with this, four members of the audience were called on stage to participate in the spelling bee and were expected to keep up with the cast members. I really did enjoy this aspect of the musical.

While I enjoyed the comedy of the show, I found myself asking the question “What the heck is going on?” multiple times. There were a lot of very confusing plot twists that left me lost.

One of these twists was when Jesus appeared on stage. I was taking notes in my notebook when the next thing I know, I look up to see someone dressed up as Jesus singing with an angel by his side. I still don’t really understand the significance of this part, but I still found these random plot twists entertaining.

Even though I still am wondering what the point of the musical was, I still found the performance very compelling. Students in the show did a great job of capturing the essence of what it would be like to be a nerdy kid in a spelling bee.

Lifestyle, music recommendations for those coming out

Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month all October long

By Izzy Fonfara Drewel, Will Eikenbary isabella.fonfaradrewel@marquette.edu will.eikenbary@marquette.edu

Editor’s Note: This article contains satirical statements. It was also written by members of the LGBTQ+ community.

For the past 33 years, America has annually celebrated the LGBTQ+ community’s bravery Oct. 11, National Coming Out Day.

Coming out refers to the act of someone telling others that they identify with some aspect of the LGBTQ+ community. National Coming Out Day was formally recognized nationally in 1989 after the second national March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.

National Coming Out Day falls in the middle of October, which is recognized as LGBTQ+ History Month. Rodney Wilson, a high school teacher from Missouri, thought it was important for LGBTQ+ history

to be shared in schools, so he started this initiative in 1994.

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network released a statement saying that “LGBT History Month is an opportunity for educators to teach students about [LGBT] history and events.”

In honor of National Coming Out Day, here are some creative ways you can come out of the closet with your own personal soundtrack: Lesbian

Buy a whole new car. A Subaru, specifically. And blare girl in red. That’ll really help get the point across.

Music Rec: “Girls Like Girls” by Hayley Kiyoko, “Like Real People Do” by Hozier Gay

Have you ever seen “Legally Blonde?” Elle Woods said it best, “Gay men know designers, straight men don’t,” so start showing off your knowledge by pointing out last-season Prada and out-of-date Gucci.

Music Rec: “My Boy” by Car Seat Headrest, “Predatory Wasp of the Palisades” by Sufjan Stevens Bisexual

Just start cuffing your jeans,

wearing converse and drinking iced chai lattes with oat milk.

Eventually, someone will get the hint. Bonus points if you get a tattoo of a moth or a sword.

Music Rec: “Sweater Weather” by The Neighborhood, “Wet Dream” by Wet Leg Transgender

Throw a gender reveal party and encourage everyone to bring you gender-affirming clothing. Please try to avoid starting a forest fire.

Music Rec: “Verbatim” by Mother Mother, “How Far I’ll Go” by Auli’i Cravalho Pansexual

Send a picture to your friends and family of you kissing, hugging or embracing your favorite frying pan. Also, being attracted to all the characters from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show“ and you’ll fit the demographic.

Music Rec: “Everybody Talks” by The Neon Trees, “no friends” by mazie

Asexual

Begin accumulating cats to become the ultimate old cat person. Also, change your major to either mathematics or English with a focus on writing intensives.

Music Rec: “Clair du Lune” by

Claude Debussy, “Merry-GoRound of Life” by Joe Hisaishi

Non-binary

Just say your favorite character is Janet from “The Good Place” and refer to people as “fxlks ?” ? and you’re set.

Music Rec: “Should’ve Been Me” by Mitski, “Lemon Demon” (literally like the entire discography)

Queer

Just write it on a cake and show people.

Music Rec: showtunes (“Rocky Horror Picture Show” soundtrack), “Minecraft” soundtrack … specifically Mellohi

P.S. Just start thrifting and wearing flannel, you’ll basically cover all of these categories.

Now that you have inspiration for how to come out, you can celebrate National Coming Out

Day. However, do not feel pressured to come out, you are still valid. Keep blaring “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga until you are ready.

Artist displays work at United Community Center

Hispanic culture influences artwork of self-taught painter

By Phoebe Goebel phoebe.goebel@marquette.edu

“Art is for me the only space where light and darkness, the grotesque and beautiful, love and fear can integrate with each other to birth a fuller whole. And because of this, I keep painting,” Richie Morales, an artist, said.

Morales, a self-taught artist located in Madison, Wisconsin, showed off his work at the Latino Arts, Inc. gallery at the United Community Center in his exhibit “The Effects of Time on Memory – Los Efectos Del Tiempo An La Memoria.” The exhibit opened its doors Sept. 2 and closed Oct. 7.

Morales uses the medium of acrylic on canvas and the art featured lively colors with sketches of various items on top of the paint. The pieces themselves are symmetrical as if there is a perfect balance between both sides of the painting.

Through his artwork, Morales said that he can reflect upon his actions as well as how they are influenced by his culture

and background.

“I paint about what is affecting me,” Morales said. “I reflect my culture through the palette of colors that I choose along with the semiotic in terms of nature and animals that I use.”

Morales said that his artwork in this exhibit was to portray the spiritual connection that he has with Earth, as it is a very important aspect of his own Hispanic culture.

National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, overlapping with the time that Morales’ exhibit is on display. Morales said he believes that Hispanic Heritage Month does not fully cover what it means to identify with the Hispanic culture, but still recognizes the importance of it as a celebration through his art.

“I understand the necessity we have to reconnect with our place where we come from and in that sense, I think it is a big opportunity to share our rich and beautiful culture,” Morales said.

Dinorah Cortés-Vélez, a Latin American literature & culture and an associate professor of Spanish, stressed the importance of the month to celebrate and recognize Hispanic culture but said that more people need to put effort into the

month to make the impact it is supposed to make.

“I see National Hispanic Heritage Month as an opportunity to recognize, reflect on, and celebrate the rich legacy and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities in the United States,” Cortés-Vélez said.

“Unless we commit to continue

to work for a climate of social inclusion and equal rights for migrants, the celebration by itself won’t have a meaningful impact in the lives of these communities.”

Latino Arts, Inc. is an organization targeted toward bringing Hispanic and Latino cultural awareness and educational opportunities both in and out of

Milwaukee. They are located within the United Community Center of Milwaukee and participate in both in-person and virtual events showcasing artists’ work and talent.

Cortés-Vélez said that organizations like Latino Arts, Inc. are vital to creating cultural advocacy in a segregated community like Milwaukee.

“This work is essential in terms of creating awareness about the beauty and richness of the artistic contributions of Latinx communities in this country, and more specifically in Milwaukee.

This work is a lifeline in the fight for social inclusion and respect for the rights of these communities,”

Cortés-Vélez said.

Morales said that it meant a lot to him to showcase his work at the United Community Center, as a lot of his inspiration and techniques are derived from his culture.

“Since childhood in Guatemala, I have experimented with textures and materials while working in trades of carpentry and construction work that today I integrate into my painting,” Morales said. “My life is marked by signs of socioeconomic violence as well as with legacies of personal and community resilience.”

Richie Morales draws inspiration from his spiritual connection to the Earth.

Gender inclusivity essential on campus

In an education system that has seemed to make strides to become more inclusive, sometimes gender identity is left in the dust. As we become more evolved students and members of society, we must remember to make space for the wellness and prosperity of people of all genders. Students no longer need to be addressed as simply “men and women of the world” – because, although traditional, it is naive to sort all people into these two categories when gender identity stretches far beyond them.

When it comes to the conversation surrounding gender, it seems like a lot of the world continues to have wool over their eyes. There are notable differences between sex, gender and gender identity. The term “sex” refers to the biological status that a person is assigned at birth due to their external anatomy. “Gender” is often recognized as the socially constructed norms and expectations surrounding

various sexes. And, “gender identity” is a person’s sense of gender whether that be as a man, woman or otherwise.

The medical center at Marquette University is divided into two sectors – men’s healthcare and women’s healthcare. The center provides specialized services for each division including pap smears and pregnancy testing for women on campus. However, it fails to recognize individuals who are not cis-gender.

Not having a more holistic approach to the health services at Marquette inherently excludes individuals who are transgender or non-binary. To close our eyes, minds and clinics to people who are not cisgender is to do the LGBTQ+ community a disservice and risk their health and wellness as a result.

As progress continues on the new business building at Marquette, the question of whether or not all-gender bathrooms will be included has been raised. The

new $60 million, 100,000-squarefoot building is said to include a collaborative classroom, lab spaces, study spaces, event spaces, a cafe and faculty offices. But, will it include more accessibility for transgender or non-binary students?

This raises the question of who has a seat and who is left out of the “room where it happens.”

As decisions are being made regarding innovations and improvements to Marquette’s campus, it is important that people of all identities and walks of life are being represented. Without people of different genders being a part of important conversations encompassing the direction of projects on campus, those decisions are fragmented.

Being students at a Jesuit university, it is likely that many at Marquette have heard the commonly used tagline “becoming men and women for others.” Although on the surface this phrase may sound simple,

understandable and even encouraging, it explicitly leaves out students of other genders.

Marquette must make a conscious effort to be more inclusive of students who transgender and nonbinary so that they too feel they have a place at the university. Even what may seem like small changes such as updating university taglines and referring to students in non-gendered terms can make a significant difference.

There are a few notable resources on campus available for students with various genders.

Located in the AMU, the LGBTQ+ Resource Center at Marquette welcomes students of all sexualities and genders to seek out support. The center describes itself as a “welcoming and inclusive space, open to all, and seeks to provide an atmosphere of great dialogue, engagement and compassion.”

The center’s website features a specific section for

gender identities.

The “Queer Closet” is also a part of the center. This closet provides Marquette students with access to free gender-affirming clothes and accessories. Spaces like this help not only affirm but also inspire students to feel that they can be their authentic selves.

There are also student organizations that provide students of all genders with a safe place and sense of community. This includes the Gender Sexuality Alliance. The alliance aims to provide support and understanding for students of minority genders and sexualities so that they feel welcomed and empowered on campus.

Marquette and its student body must ensure that they are actively supporting the queer community in all aspects. Students who attend this university need to feel not only accepted but appreciated by their peers, educators and school faculty.

“Rust” film back in production, protect actors’ mental health

killed someone.

While filming the movie “Rust’” in Oct. 2021, Baldwin used a prop gun that was loaded unbeknownst to him.

People in society view actors as immensely talented people capable of switching emotions, performing seamless stunts and drawing us to the screen, on the edge of our seats. But, we often forget that they are human too. With pressure from leaders in the film industry and fans alike, actors mental health can suffer as a result of strenuous work environments.

Recently, we have seen an extreme example of this.

Alec Baldwin is a talented actor with an impressive resume, detailing 40 years of experience and over 100 projects. Baldwin has also been nominated for, and won, several major awards such as an Emmy and Golden Globe.

While working on a new project, he accidentally

The gun was not properly checked prior to it being fired.

He fatally shot cinematographer Haylna Hutchins and wounded producer Joel Souza.

The movie went into an indefinite suspension after that.

The production company was ultimately the ones to blame for cutting costs and not doing routine checks on the props. Despite everything being an accident, Baldwin’s mental health still suffered severely.

Baldwin felt tremendous guilt for the death of Hutchins and took to social media to apologize publicly.

The movie was just picked up again for production in January.

Producers and fans demand

so much out of actors. However, they sometimes forget that actors also have mental, emotional and physical limits. Baldwin certainly isn’t the first actor to endure mental health issues under all of this pressure.

Actor Kit Harrington had to check himself into rehab after his television show, “Game of Thrones“ ended. He had been acting on the show for over eight years and checked himself in after the stress became too much for him which caused him to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism.

Many actors suffer from mental health issues because their job is very demanding.

They have to memorize lines, jump from one emotion to another, work long hours and act out potentially uncomfortable scenes. This is all just what they experience while filming, though it is important to remember that being away from

loved ones and frequent travel can also pile on the stress.

Production companies need to add mental health resources to their budget, as acting can take a toll on a person. It’s hard to have the pressure of needing to please everyone on your shoulders.

If actors are expected to memorize lines, they should also be expected to take care of their mental health.

Resources production companies should include is an on-site mental health counselor and mandatory therapy sessions so that when actors are feeling overwhelmed, they have someone to talk to rather than having to endure mental health issues on their own and in silence.

Many actors may experience mental health issues from all the backlash and hate that they receive through social media, as well. As fans, we can do our part by making sure we don’t

say or post anything that can further trigger mental health for the actors.

The film industry is one of the main sources of our entertainment as there are many successful projects being created every year, enticing a growing audience.

It’s also a place where people follow their passions and pursue dream careers. However, mental health needs to remain at the forefront of the film industry. We tend to forget that actors are people too.

The reason why we get to turn on our favorite tv show at night is because of the effort actors put into their work. If their mental health isn’t being supported, then we might not get to see the next episode.

Western museums need to return antiquities taken in violence and conquest to their rightful owners. These objects from the global south have been stolen and housed in Western museums on a massive scale.

The Smithsonian approved returning 29 bronze sculptures from the Kingdom of Benin in June 2022. These sculptures were looted from the palace of the King of the Kingdom of Benin, which is now in modern-day Nigeria. They were taken in 1897 after British soldiers punitively and violently invaded. The many riches within the palace were taken to pay off the cost of the invasion itself. The Smithsonian is an early adopter of the repatriation of stolen antiquities.

Similarly, U.S. authorities

Stolen artifacts characterize museums

have confiscated 200 objects surrendered by museums and collections. Many are from Italy, a majority of which were initially acquired through a 30-year smuggling operation which was run by 70-year-old Roman Edoardo Almagià.

Unfortunately this practice has only come to full fruition in select parts of the United States. Many European countries and other parts of the States are less willing to return stolen antiquities.

Indigenous people in the States have advocated for the return of cultural artifacts to the proper communities.

Chip Cowell in the Op-ed “As Native Americans,We Are in a Constant State of Mourning” writes about western fascination with “primitive” art. Cowell states, “Indigenous peoples often tried their best to preserve their sacred objects and to protect the graves of their ancestors. But most communities were unable to stop the plunder.”

The largest offender of stolen antiquities is none other than the British Museum. The British Museum’s collection includes some of the Benin bronzes, the Maqdala collection, a plethora of real human remains and much more.

The Maqdala collection includes ceremonial crosses, chalices, processional umbrella tops, weapons, textiles, jewelry and religiously significant altar tablets. They are from what is currently northern Ethiopia. In 1867, British soldiers led a military expedition to the area. Subsequently they killed hundreds of people and wounded thousands more. They then looted the fortress, library and treasury.

Some of the strangest pieces in the possession of the museum are human remains. For research and on display they have over 6,000 human remains.

On the British Museum’s website, they attempt to justify their ownership of these

remains, which keep in mind have been taken from their resting places without any authorization of their descendants or the people when they were still alive. The museum says that they try to keep a “record of the varied ways different societies have conceived of death and disposed of the remains of the dead.”

This is a poor justification for having the bodies of humans who in no way authorized the research of their remains.

The museum is in possession of several Maori preserved heads. The Maori are a still existing Indigenous group from New Zealand. The heads were donated by Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks who is a revered “collector” of antiquities, or in better terms, a graverobber.

The idea that the museum has these culturally significant pieces is frankly disgusting and their endeavor to treat it as normal, and even moral, only makes the situation more insidious.

The Natural History Museum in Vienna recently returned the preserved Maori heads, also known as toi moko, mokomokai and upoko tuhi, that were in their possession to New Zealand.

William “Pou” Temara, chairperson of Te Papa’s Repatriation Advisory Panel, said “It is always a spiritual relief and privilege to welcome back our ancestors who have been victims of such wrongdoing. Culturally we know that they are weeping with joy now that they have returned to Aotearoa where at last they will rest in peace.”

The importance of the returning of these objects is a matter of cultural identity. They hold cultural roots to the people whom they originally belonged to. The return of these artifacts is essential in order to heal the wound left in their place.

Marquette must geographically diversify

the Midwest.

I love Marquette, I really do. I remember touring the university as a high school sophomore back in the spring of 2019. Being a kid from Boston, Massachusetts, looking to leave the Northeast and see what else the country had to offer me, Marquette seemed flawless in my eyes.

The students were nice, the professors even nicer and the city of Milwaukee itself had to have been the best part of it all. There were plenty of places in the city I could explore and learn what the Midwest truly has to offer. It had everything I wanted in a school, and at age 16, I already knew I wanted to go here.

Fast forward three years later and I am still beyond happy as a 19-year-old sophomore. I have made close friends, learned about being independent and eaten at the familiar Culver’s too many times to count. Even though I am happy, I have learned that Marquette is not flawless, because a problem remains: I still have never met anyone at Marquette from Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, or Connecticut.

At first, I didn’t mind. Throughout the first couple of weeks at school as a first-year student, I learned very early on that most of the students I was

meeting were from the surrounding areas. Towns that I had never heard of quickly became familiar to me by week two of the semester after hearing about them so much. By the end of October, it felt that everyone was from either Naperville, Evanston or Schaumburg.

Of the Marquette first-year class, 41% of the Class of 2025 are from Illinois and 33% of students come from Wisconsin.

With nearly 75% of my sophomore class being from either Illinois or Wisconsin.

College is a place where students are supposed to learn about new subjects, explore new

cultures and most importantly meet people from several different backgrounds. It is difficult to meet people of different backgrounds when more than half of our sophomore student body is from the same place.

I recognize that it can be expensive for students to pay out-of-state tuition as well as fly back and forth between the city of Milwaukee and cities in the Northeast, but I think that there is no excuse to have under 100 students from the New England area.

As a fellow East Coaster, I know firsthand what they look for. The stereotype that people

from the Northeast are a little more on the “snooty” end is unfortunately true.

Students from the Northeast are not going to leave behind their Boston University, MIT or Boston College unless they have a reason to.

Marquette needs to be that reason.

I consider myself lucky to have been exposed to Marquette as a person residing in the Northeast. Although I grew up in Boston, my dad and step-family live in a suburb of Chicago known to many: Oak Park. I was fortunate enough to have been exposed to this area at a young age, and I knew I wanted to go to school in

I feel like I can do as much of my part as possible. I am constantly in contact with students in respective New England schools, talking to them about what Marquette has to offer and how attending the university will be one of the best decisions they could make.

However, I need to ensure that the university also feels that way. I love all of my friends from Wisconsin and Illinois, but I would love some other friends from the Northeast area and then some.

Golfers create individual routines in team training

Adler, Evangelio talk about personal practice habits

By Trevor Hilson trevor.hilson@marquette.edu

With the sport catered to the individual, golf practices are unlike any other sport. This is true for Marquette. The oddly open-ended yet precisely scheduled dynamic the team follows, allows players to create habits designed to help them succeed on the course.

“We start having each guy accomplish a task to get them to the rest of the practice,” assistant coach Jace Long said. “From there, we design our practices around each individual’s needs. We look at everyone’s stats and shift our focus to what they need (to) work on.”

Long said he understands the benefits of having practice focused on each player’s needs.

“We have nine guys whose games are all different,” Long said. “We are trying to develop the players the best we can and it cannot be done the same way for everybody.”

Players, such as graduate student Nicolás Evangelio, appreciate having their own practice schedule.

He said he credits his routines to his success on the course.

“You play the way you prepare,” Evangelio said. “It is something that we continue to work on so that we can be more prepared

for tournaments.”

Evidence of this came at the Marquette Intercollegiate Oct. 2-3, when Evangelio finished tied for tenth overall and second on the team with a weekend score of 214.

“He was the leader in putting at our last tournament, which was something he struggled with last year,” Long said.

Sophomore Patrick Adler also has his routines in practice that lead to his success in tournaments.

“We have a system called 168s where we plan out every hour of the week. I have been more productive, and it has even influenced how I plan out how I want to practice each day,” Adler said.

Adler credits the help of his coaches and teammates for how he has changed his approach in practice.

“In high school, I would go to the range and then putt the ball around on the greens,” Adler said. “Coach Long helped to implement drills that would allow me to compete with myself and put myself in pressure situations.”

He said graduate student Tyler Leach showed him the importance of going through the motions in practice as well.

“Tyler showed me the importance of following my routine when practicing and doing drills. You will be doing your routine when you play, so going through that in practice helps to prepare you for the real deal,” Adler said.

Long said a new aspect of practice this year is the competitions head coach Steve Bailey and himself hold for the

players at the end of practice.

“We want to keep the guys’ competitive fire going, so we compete for the win of the day at the end of each practice,” Long said. “We never tell the players what the competition will be, and we throw anything at them. Driving, putting, wedges, or irons are all in play for the competition.”

Both Evangelio and Adler said they agree the competitions are their favorite parts of practice.

“Golf is an individual sport, but then when we do these drills, we compete with each other and we feel closer as a team,” Adler said.

For Evangelio, he said there

is a mind-setting component in these competitions that relate to actual competitions.

“It is important that there is competition in practice because if you are relaxed and not focused in practice, then the tournament will feel different than it should,” Evangelio said. “You have to be ready for high-pressure situations. I like competing for the day’s win because it prepares me for tournaments.”

Long noted that the team’s schedule is jam-packed all week outside the already scheduled five-hour team practice each day. Along with their school workload, the team participates in yoga each Monday

and has workouts Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

The team’s intense schedule will help them achieve their goals for this season, which Coach Long helped to set for them at the beginning of the season.

“We have set a goal to be one of the best putting teams in the country. So far, we have improved, and I think the drills we do in practice and our competitive nature have helped us work toward that goal,” Long said.

Next up for the Golden Eagles will be a trip to Kettering, Ohio for the Dayton Flyer Invitational at NCR Country Club Oct. 17-18.

THIS WEEK: SCHULTZ ON MUBB

Kam Jones showcases improved offensive scoring package

If you weren’t already excited to watch Kam Jones fill the stat sheet this season, his performance at Saturday’s Blue and Gold scrimmage should change that.

The sophomore Jones opened Saturday’s scrimmage with backto-back layups before hitting a 3-pointer to give his side an early 13-2 lead.

Jones was a reliable 3-point shooter in his first season at Marquette, connecting on 39.2% of his 143 attempts from deep. He showcased the deep ball Saturday but also showcased a willingness to attack the rim and finish in an array of ways. This makes him even harder to defend and adds another level of scoring to the Marquette offense.

Playing on the Blue team alongside junior guard Tyler Kolek, first-year walk-on guard Jonah Lucas, junior forward Oso Ighodaro and senior forward Zach Wrightsil, Jones got buckets.

The scrimmage was split into two 12-minute halves with no subs, as first-year guard Chase Ross and sophomores David Joplin and Emarion Ellis were all sidelined with injuries. Jones led all scorers with 20 points.

Across his first season, Marquette fans saw the confidence Jones had in himself whenever he thought he had enough space to take shots. But more often than not Jones was spotting up for corner threes.

Jones, who was being referred to as “K1” by coaches and teammates, went 4-for-5 from deep with just one attempt coming from the corner. The shots came from the wing, off the dribble, catch and even in transition at the top of the key before the defense got set.

He let it fly.

When Jones wasn’t pulling from deep he was attacking the rim with force. Jones, who’s naturally left-handed, looked to finish on the left and attacked the rim from the top of the key or the right wing, getting to his left hand. This makes defending his shots at the rim even more difficult when he can use the rim to stop shot blockers.

He showed off an array of layups that weren’t showcased in

Fiserv Forum last season.

“Kam’s a guy that he really doesn’t want to be a one-dimensional shooter,” Marquette head coach Shaka Smart said. “He wants to be a guy that impacts the game on the defensive end. He wants to be a guy that can put the ball on the floor.”

Jones also showed off his evergrowing scoring arsenal.

The 6-foot-4 guard has irrational confidence and it’s as if every shot he takes is going in. Jones had the highest 3-point percentage on the team last season for those who shot more than 20 attempts. He also had the third highest field goal percentage amongst the guards just behind sophomore guard Stevie Mitchell and Darryl Morsell.

He took 12 shots and made eight of them as the Blue team cruised to a 65-46 win over the gold team.

Jones’s offensive barrage included a willingness to attack the rim at will no matter who was meeting him in the paint.

It will be interesting to see if Jones keeps this up when the season starts in just under a month.

Marquette will play teams that have big men with massive size like Purdue’s Zach Edey and Creighton’s Ryan Kalkbrenner, both of which stand over sevenfeet tall and offer an intimidating presence under the rim.

Saturday’s scrimmage wasn’t much, but it wasn’t nothing. It was a scrimmage against teammates that have played with each other all summer and in the 10 team practices leading up to the scrimmage.

However, it did offer some insight into what this year’s Golden Eagle squad may look like and Jones very well could lead the team in scoring. He’s the leading scorer returning to this year’s squad after Justin Lewis entered the NBA draft and Morsell exhausted all of his eligibility.

Jones will have the ball in his hands more and have more shots available.

It’s now a matter of how many shots he gets and how many fall through the nylon nets. But either way, Jones and most Marquette fans will think every time it leaves his hands that the ball will leave the net with the sweet sound of a swoosh and more points on the board for the Golden Eagles.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The men’s basketball team hosted its Blue and Gold scrimmage Oct. 8 inside the Al McGuire Center. Kam Jones lifted the Blue team to a 65-46 victory with a game leading 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting from field.

Blue team dominates, Mitchell impresses in scrimmage

Five observations from 24 minutes of basketball action

By John Leuzzi john.leuzzi@marquette.edu

The ramp-up toward the 2022-23 season is on for the Marquette men’s basketball team.

Marquette fans got their first glimpses of this year’s Golden Eagles team Saturday morning at the Al McGuire Center with the Blue and Gold scrimmage.

“There’s a lot of people around Marquette and Milwaukee that are very excited about the start of the basketball season and there’s nobody more excited than our team,” head coach Shaka Smart said. “We’ve had 10 practice days since we started practice and guys have really done a good job of kind building some habits.

“But for it being early October, we still have a long way to go in terms of building those habits. And that’s why we have a lot more practice to go before our first game in 30 days on November 7th.”

Here are five observations from the scrimmage: Blue team dominates in win

Of the three returning members — Oso Ighodaro, Kam Jones and Tyler Kolek — on the Blue team, Jones impressed the most.

The 6-foot-4 guard picked up where he left off last season being a bucket for the Golden Eagles as he finished with a team-high 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting from the field.

He also let it fly from beyond

the arc, hitting four of his five 3-pointers. There was a stretch in the first half where Jones stripped the ball and hit a corner 3-pointer off a pass from senior forward Zach Wrightsil that got a “bang bang” comment from assistant coach DeAndre Haynes.

“Kam, along with Jop, those are the two most gifted scorers that we have,” Smart said. “Kam is a guy that really does not want to be a one dimensional shooter.”

Smart said the coaching staff is pushing Jones to get inside the paint more in hopes of reaching the foul line more frequently. Jones finished second to last on the team last season in freethrow attempts at 18 amongst scholarship players.

He also showed glimpses of improvement on the defensive side of the ball, finishing with five defensive rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes of action.

“He’s gotten a lot better on the defensive end,” sophomore guard Stevie Mitchell said. “He’s becoming very vocal as well. It’s going to be a nightmare for teams, as saw today.”

Mitchell could be an X-factor

Mitchell averaged 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 32 games last season off the bench.

And despite the scrimmage being just 24 minutes of actual basketball, Mitchell showed improvements and wasn’t hesitant to shoot the ball.

“My main thing was just shooting with confidence,” Mitchell said of what he worked on during the offseason. “Just being ready to shoot. Step into the shot

and not hesitating. Just trusting my shot. I think getting better at that has helped me. Now they’re closing out, I can get to the basket a little easier.”

The Reading, Pennsylvania native finished with the most shot attempts (14) and paint touches across any player on the morning while knocking down 50% of his shots from the field.

“He’s got incredible energy,” Smart said. “I would say if we were to pick one energy representative of how we want to be and who we want to be, it would be Stevie Mitchell. And his job is to set that tone each and every day, regardless of circumstances, for his teammates. He did a good job of that today.”

Joplin, Ross battling injuries

Sophomore forward David Joplin and first-year guard Chase Ross both were sidelined from the scrimmage with injuries. Ross, who Smart said calls

the most athletic player he has seen in his 14 seasons as a head coach, is going through concussion protocols.

“Chase took a really hard hit the other day of practice to his head and felt much better the next day but just out of precaution he had to go into the process that is required to come back,” Smart said. “It’s still a few more days, but he’ll be back soon. We’re hoping early next week.”

Meanwhile, Joplin, who Smart has raved about his growth and energy, hyper-extended his knee in practice.

Smart said Joplin’s injury is seen as a minor injury by the medical staff and is expected to return to practice by next week as well.

“He was playing his butt off,” Smart said. “I don’t know if he got some clipping the first day of practice with the dunk he had but he’s just had a different energy to him.”

Sean Jones impresses

First-year guard Sean Jones, a 5-foot-10 speedy and savvy shooter, showed off his ability to create separation on the floor and hit shots.

“When Sean can attack the basket by his man and then kick it out, he’s creating close-up for somebody else and if they don’t step up, Sean has the ability to score too,” Mitchell said. “Between his speed, his handle, aggressiveness and confidence he adds a great addition to our team that will help us this year.”

He finished behind Mitchell with 11 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field, including a few step-back 3-pointers.

“That comes with me just reading my defender, getting into him

and making him think,” Jones said on his ability in finding 3-point opportunities. “There’s no worry about the drive when you are going by him, so it’s pretty easy for me to step back off to be honest.”

But Smart said Jones didn’t show all his ability Saturday.

“He needs to get the ball down the floor faster than he did today,” Smart said. “He’s a guy that on the defensive end can change the game. Didn’t see enough of that today but maybe his focus coming out here to for the first time in front of fans was the offensive end and that’s a freshman thing.”

Next Up

The Golden Eagles will play two closed-door scrimmages against Loyola Chicago Oct. 15 at the Al McGuire Center and Missouri at the University of Chicago Oct. 29.

“We’re excited about kind of testing ourselves against what someone else does,” Smart said.

Between those scrimmages, the team will have an open scrimmage Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. CST at Fiserv Forum for fans.

Following the men’s scrimmage, the women’s basketball team held a closed practice. It was previously mentioned in a Marquette Athletics statement obtained by the Marquette Wire following the cancellation of Marquette Madness both programs would be hosting an open practice at some point before the season, but the women’s team is not.

Until then, it is back to the lab for the men’s team to prepare for their season opener Nov. 7 vs Radford at Fiserv Forum at 7:30 p.m. CST.

Jarosz makes Milwaukee feel like home for lads

Coaching philosophy built around forming player relationships

By Catherine Fink catherine.fink@marquette.edu

Men’s soccer assistant coach Danny Jarosz tries to have the team be as connected with the city of Milwaukee as they are with Marquette .

“One of my goals is to make sure that we have a Milwaukee feel on our team,” Jarosz said. “You get a big investment from the guys who have grown up around Marquette and around the city of Milwaukee.”

Jarosz is no stranger to the men’s soccer program either. His playing career with the Golden Eagles was cut short after suffering a career-ending injury during his junior year in 2017.

This kick-started his coaching career as he stayed involved with the program his senior season as a student coach.

“Coach Bennett, Sean Hughes and Marcelo Santos at the time welcomed me into the coaching staff,” Jarosz said. “They knew

that I was interested in doing this as a profession. I have learned a ton from him (Louis Bennet) over the last couple of years being his assistant coach and just how to operate a high level college soccer program. He’s always willing to share his ideas and is concerned with the development of his assistant coaches.”

Now in his third season as one of head coach Louis Bennett’s assistant coaches, Jarosz said he looks to recruit others from the Milwaukee area to play for Marquette.

“Alex Mirsberger is a big example of that kind of kid who’s kind come in and over five years here has really developed and reached his potential and given his all to it,” Jarosz said.

Mirsberger, a fifth-year defenseman from Brookfield, Wisconsin, said Jarosz is a coach that understands his players.

“Obviously both being from here we can connect in certain ways. We know a lot of the same people, we kind of grew up the same and we share a lot of similar interests, like cheering for Wisconsin teams. I’m kind of falling in the same route as he did because he’s still in

school. He’s getting his MBA,” Mirsberger said.

He said a main part of his coaching philosophy is to have a positive impact on his players’ lives.

“I’m a small part of their journey in their four years here, but my goal is to help them reach their potential,” Jarosz said. “So hopefully with my experiences and what I’ve been through at Marquette, I can help them along their path.”

Jarosz said coaching styles are changing from how players have been coached in the past.

“I am definitely of the newer age in terms of style of coaching. I think you look at the older coaches who yelled and screamed and had a clipboard and all that stuff, but I think my style is more relationship based,” Jarosz said.

In addition to helping his players reach their potential, Mirsberger said Jarosz also helps the team live in the moment.

“Danny always tells me to enjoy every moment because it goes by so quickly, to have fun with it and that these are the best times with the team. He obviously misses playing and he says just to enjoy every moment,”

Mirsberger said.

He said his style of coaching begins off the field in building connections with both players and coaches.

“Getting to know the guys is so important to see how they want to be coached and what they need to improve upon,” Jarosz said.

Mirsberger said Jarosz plays an important part of the team in multiple ways and is great at helping prepare the team for the upcoming game.

“He’s the person in charge of scouting and we always have great information on the other teams that he organizes,” Mirsberger said. “He also does a lot of administrative stuff for us.

He’s always reminding us to get stuff done.”

Jarosz said he tries to create a productive environment for the players regardless of the outcome of the games.

“It is important that the guys bring that same energy and enthusiasm each and every day, regardless of what’s happened, the last week or the last month,” Jarosz said.

Jarosz’s coaching does not stop with the Golden Eagles. He is a staff coach for the Bavarian

United Soccer Club out of Milwaukee, coaching U15 and U16 boys as well as the college-aged majors team that competes in the Midwest Premier League.

He said there is a difference in coaching different levels and ages of players.

“There’s still parts of the game where even at the college level, guys can improve upon their game. Higher levels or at the college level, it becomes a lot more detail-oriented,” Jarosz said.

“Whereas in the younger ages you’re still kind of coaching the bigger ideas.”

Even with three years under his belt with the Golden Eagles, Jarosz said he is always looking to improve, and states he is only beginning his coaching career.

“Learning every day is something that I love to do and I know that I am nowhere near where I will be at the end of my career in terms of being a coach, ” Jarosz said. “The biggest thing that I’ve learned is probably how difficult it is to win college soccer games. You can have everything prepared well, you can play very well and at the end of the day, the ball just doesn’t bounce your way.”

state, it was trying to get our team to go to state.”

Heading into the 2020 season, Foti, Ring and their teammates weren’t sure if they’d have a chance of making it to state, especially with being located in Dane County.

“We made a huge team effort. With COVID everything was unknown and basically we put in extra hours to be prepared for this weird kind of season we’re going to have,” Foti said. “Because we’re from Madison, Dane County area there wasn’t going to be any games in Dane County because of the rules for COVID.”

There was still a season, just not a conventional one.

“Our schedule was sort of pieced together like we didn’t have a conference to play in, but we were able to go and compete,” Johnson said. “We actually went 14-1 and we played some outstanding volleyball to make our way to the state tournament.”

Edgewood was making its run through the state tournament and had swept every team on its way to playing at state. The team qualified for state, but was unable to play because one of the players tested positive for COVID-19.

“It was devastating,” Foti said. “That was kind of my dream for high school was to go to state.”

The next step for her was when she enrolled early at Marquette in 2020 for the spring semester.

Marquette head coach Ryan Theis said he was able to watch the state run, but because of his own team’s busy schedule he wasn’t able to watch the two Golden Eagle recruits play much in Madison.

“I really have not seen them play a lot of matches together other than like their state tournament run (and) you’re watching online,” Theis said.

“They were just two really good players at a pretty small private school, really physical and doing a lot for their team.

So that part was enjoyable be-

cause you didn’t get to see it as much as you normally would.”

Ring then joined the Golden Eagles this season, with Foti there to help with the transition to college.

“It was definitely helpful, especially in the transition. I got to know the girls in her class really well when I was in high school because me and Ella were friends,” Ring said.

“I felt like I definitely came in with stronger connections that I would have without Ella and I playing at the same school.”

Now, after trading in their maroon and gold both are at Marquette in the midst of the greatest start to a season the Golden Eagles have ever had. Marquette is the No. 16 team in the country and is currently undefeated in conference play.

Foti has become a key rotation player while Ring seemingly makes the most of every opportunity she has on the court.

“It’s been honestly kind of wild. Coming in we have first-years, we have transfers. Not a lot of us have played

together. One of our middles, Hattie Bray redshirted with me last year,” Foti said. “We felt like no one was really expecting anything from us, so lets just go out there and have fun and play hard and see what happens.”

The Golden Eagles are now 15-1 and are on a 13-game

win streak, and have goals for how they want to finish out the year.

“It’s on all our minds to win the Big East Championship again and be able to have a deep run in the tournament,” Ring said.

Both Ring and Foti played together at Edgewood High School in Madison before making the trip down I-94 to

“At the end of the day I chose Marquette because of not only the culture, the great academics here and the coaches, but also because I felt like they believed in me,” Foti said. “Two months earlier I’d actually torn my ACL and they were the only school that actually offered me (a scholarship) after I

to see them just out there and excelling and it’s nice to see them stay local.”

Foti committed to Marquette in 2018 during her first year of high school and two months after tearing her ACL.

After receiving a scholarship offer from Marquette, Ring didn’t have to look much further than Foti, who was already assisting her on the court and went to have a conversation with her.

“When Marquette first offered me I knew the first thing

part for me of that conversation was asking her how do you feel about me coming to Marquette?’”

Foti said she was there to support Ring, but also used a hands-off approach during her recruitment.

“I’m like this is a great spot. It’s in a cool city, we have a great winning culture coming here for volleyball. It’s a great school,” Foti said. “But ultimately I want you to come
