MU basketball coaches out-earn opponents Men’s, women’s coaches pay differs based on revenue

By Jenny Zahn jennifer.zahn@marquette.edu

Droves of students lined up outside the Al McGuire Center for hours before the university’s annual basketball pep rally, Marquette Madness, on Friday, defying October’s chill with a golden blaze of school spirit.

The highly popular event is a testament to a basketball program that brings in mileature lions of dollars due to both artory dent Marquette fans and continued athletic success – $15,568,569 to be exact, according to data from the Department of Education’s 2010-2011 Equity in Athletics Data Analysis. Although $10,348,303 of that was negated by expenses, Marquette men’s basketball still yielded a $5,220,266 profit for the year. Women’s basketball was the only other sport at Marquette to make a profit — $118,336 in the same fiscal year.

That’s probably why Marquette pays men’s basketball head coach Buzz Williams and women’s basketball head coach Terri Mitchell the big bucks. Williams’ base salary of $1,070,125 makes him Marquette’s highest

Department of Public Safety Chief Larry Rickard is not the stereotypical face of law enforcement. Yes, he enjoys “catching the bad guy,” but instead of the expected stern look painted on his face, he has a cheerful smile and a unique sense of humor that flows through the whole DPS office.

This month is a special one for Rickard. October marks the 21st year he has been with DPS and the 13th he has been chief.

One in five Americans no longer affiliates with an organized religion, according to a study by the Pew Research Center.

The study, “Nones’ on the Rise,” released Oct. 9 through the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, says that “one-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.”

Some, like Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington, D.C., are disappointed with the study’s findings. “(There is a) tsunami of secular influence that has swept across the cultural landscape,” Wuerl said at the Synod of Bishops, which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Vatican II and attempting to make the Catholic Church more relevant to the 21st century.

However, other individuals have celebrated the decline in religious affiliation.

“We’re seeing a marked shift in the religion bias of our country,” said David Silverman, president of the New Jerseybased American Atheists, in a See Pew, page 7

News in Brief Presidential town hall debate tonight The second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is set to take place tonight at 8 p.m. CDT at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.

The debate, which will be in a town hall format and will allow audience members to ask questions, comes five days after the vice presidential debate and less than two weeks since the last presidential debate, of which many pundits and polls declared Romney the winner.

Romney supporter Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) said he thinks Obama will be more aggressive this time around.

“I think President Obama is going to come out swinging,” Portman said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

Obama, leading the RealClearPolitics.com average of polls by 3.1 points the day of the first debate, now trails Romney by 0.1 percentage point on average. The website has also relabeled eight states that were formerly “lean Obama” as “toss ups” since the first debate.

MUSG and the Les Aspin Center for Government are going to cosponsor a non-partisan viewing party in Johnston Hall’s jPad from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the duration of the debate.

Obama outraises Romney President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party raised about $11 million more than Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee last month, according to USA Today.

The president raised $181 million from contributions from about 1.8 million people. Mitt Romney’s campaign raised nearly $170.5 million. The campaign said 93.1 percent of its donations came in payments of $250 or less from more than one million contributors.

According to Opensecrets.org,

Skydive of 24 miles sets record

Japanese telecommunications corporation Softbank will acquire 70 percent of cellphone service provider Sprint Nextel as part of a $20.1 billion deal, the two companies announced yesterday in Tokyo. The acquisition, which has yet to receive the approval of federal regulation officials, is expected to be finalized by mid-2013.

In a statement, Softbank said it would purchase $8 billion worth of newly released Sprint stock while also paying $12.1 billion to purchase existing stock from other investors.

Sprint, the nation’s third largest wireless carrier, has struggled to compete against larger carriers AT&T and Verizon since its merger with Nextel in 2005. The company has incurred $21 billion in debt while expanding its data network, which still lags behind those of its larger rivals.

Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner broke the sound barrier Sunday while making the highest jump ever.

Baumgartner broke the record set by Air Force Colonel Joe Kittinger, who made a 102,800 foot (19.4 mile) jump in 1960.

MKE Archdiocese returns to court

September 2012 tied for hottest

Court-ordered mediation between the Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee and sexual abuse victims failed, forcing the two parties back to U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting.

Jeffrey Anderson, the attorney for the victims, said the victims are hoping for the disclosure of thousands of pages of documents currently under court seal and for scrutiny of the transfer of millions of dollars off the church’s books into trusts in the years before bankruptcy.

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January and faces more than a dozen civil fraud lawsuits over its handling of clergy sex abuse cases. The two sides were in the court-ordered

According to a report released Monday by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency, September 2012 has tied for the hottest September since recording began in 1880.

Last month’s average global temperature was 1.21 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the 20thcentury average of 60.1 degrees Fahrenheit, a record also held by September 2005.

Despite this, southern Wisconsin experienced its first month of below-average temperatures of the year in September, ending an 11-month streak of higher temperatures. So far, 2012 has been the warmest year on record for the United States and the eighth hottest globally.

Mary Diederich remembered Namesake for College of Communication met husband at MU

MPD cracks down at UWM Police issue more than 100 citations around college’s campus

By Monique Collins monique.collins@marquette.edu

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students have seen an increased presence of the Milwaukee Police Department near the university and on Milwaukee’s east side in recent weeks.

The situation is reportedly the result of tensions arising between intoxicated students and the permanent residents of the area.

The crackdown on student misconduct has led to 102 arrests in the UWM area in recent weeks, according to an Oct. 4 article in the UWM Post. Of those arrested, 72 have been UWM students. “ An “us vs. them” mentality has been created between students and residential neighbors,” said Tereza Pelicaric, student body president at UWM. Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn detailed the reasons for the increased presence in a Sept. 21 letter to Michael Laliberte, vice chancellor of student affairs at UWM. In the letter, Flynn said MPD’s presence in the UWM area has had a positive impact.

“Unfortunately, the disorder and criminal damage that results from unruly students seems to be escalating. It appears our strict enforcement and new practice of taking violators into custody (are) the strategies that have the greatest impact on the disorder,” Flynn wrote in his letter.

Stephen Basting, captain of the MPD’s District One, which includes the UWM campus, is a UWM alum and said he did not think alcohol-related crime was a major problem before working in the area.

“I went to parties while I was in school, and I didn’t see what the big deal was,” he said.

“Now I see that the drinking has reached epidemic levels.”

Basting said when he started focusing on the UWM area, he and other officers aimed to reach out to students to solve the issue.

“That didn’t work, so (we had to start giving them citations),” he said.

This year, the parties and drinking have gotten out of hand, according to Basting, who said he has video of drunken students trying to force their way into a neighbor’s home, thinking it was their own.

“In the big scheme of things, (the partying) is not a big deal, but imagine if you were a neighbor and you had to deal with students (damaging your property) every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night,” he said. “The neighbors are at their wits’ end.”

According to Perry Spott, a sophomore at UWM and a renter of an east side home, the crackdown was due to poor relations between students and other residents in the area.

“It’s creating tension and unrest (in the neighborhood),” he said.

Spott, whose house has been searched by MPD officers, said he thinks the officers do not have the students’ best interests in mind.

Forty three Wisconsin-certified Milwaukee police officers,

four dispatchers and 35 security officers serve the university, according to the UWM police department’s website.

In the Sept. 21 letter, Flynn also wrote that he views UWM students in the area as “guests” because most “do not own property in Milwaukee and they do not directly contribute to tax base.” He continued, “As guests, (students) should be exhibiting proper conduct.”

Though he does not live in the UWM area, Flynn also rents an apartment in Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on Oct. 5. Spott said he took offense to Flynn’s words.

“I’m from Milwaukee, and so are a huge percentage of students who attend the university,” he said. “Even after that fact, our rent pays the mortgage for the house, and I pay for water, heat and electricity.”

Basting said he is glad students have started to talk about this issue.

“The changes have to come from the students,” he said. “I’m not going to pretend like I can ticket my way out of this.”

Pelicaric said support of the MPD is necessary.

“Greater support from both parties -- the students and neighbors -- could only improve relations and ease the current tension,” she said.

Despite student backlash, Basting said MPD has neighborhood and university support. “(Our presence) has generated awareness, and I look at that as a positive thing,” he said. “All the police department is looking for is some level of respectable behavior in the neighborhood.”

Negativity floods Wis. Senate race Students turned off by ‘he said, she said’ nature of campaign

By Alexandra Whittaker alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

Negative television and Internet attack ads have been especially prevalent in the Wisconsin Senate election between Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson. Baldwin and Thompson have thrown punches at each other through YouTube and television ads.

The ad tracking firm Kantar Media CMAG reports that 92 percent of Senate ads in Wisconsin during the month of September criticized the opposing candidate instead of promoting personal platforms.

In the most recent ad produced by Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, a conservative political group founded

by Karl Rove, Baldwin is criticized as being “too extreme for Wisconsin” while a clip of a fired-up Baldwin declares, “You’re damn right!”

Anti-Thompson ads have also been widespread. Democrats call Thompson an “influence peddler” who has prioritized lobbyists and money interests over the people of Wisconsin and say he “changed” when he began making money in the private sector.

The overwhelmingly negative tone of advertising in the election has not been well received by students, said David Tukesbrey, a senior in the College of Communication.

“I can’t stand the smear tactics and the ‘he said, she said’ campaigns,” Tukesbrey said. “I’ve

seen these ads up on YouTube and I just want to skip through them as fast as possible because it’s the same meandering every single time. It’s like, ‘Well Tammy Baldwin does this, oh yeah, well that’s B.S. because Tommy Thompson, he’s the better guy.’ ... I’m getting tired of it. It is a pain in the butt to listen to and watch and it’s just exhausting, and I’m just not a fan of it.”

The negative tone of the Senate race’s promotional material has not been lost on the candidates themselves. Thompson was asked about negative advertising during an appearance at a Milwaukee Press Club Newsmaker Luncheon on Oct. 5, where he expressed disappointment and said the bitter ads did not reflect his personality.

“I’m very sad about the negative ads,” Thompson said. “I’m a positive guy. I’m optimistic.”

Thompson fully blames his opponent for the negativity of the election.

“Congresswoman Baldwin has had not one positive ad,” Thompson said at the luncheon. “Not one ... Not one positive ad. Why? Because she hasn’t done anything.”

Baldwin has not yet commented publicly about the negative publicity generated during this election.

As a voter, Laura Irvine,a junior in the College of Communication, said she believes the number of negative ads is offensive.

“Negative ads are many times an insult to the intelligence of the electorate,” Irvine said. “The ads don’t provide answers or solutions to the issues we face – they simply tear down the opponent.

We deserve better than this. Candidates should lay out their plans and stand on their own records.”

Risky business part of teenage brain Study finds biological link between age, hazardous behavior

By Eric Oliver eric.oliver@marquette.edu

Photo by Alyce Peterson/alyce.peterson@marquette.edu

MPD Chief Ed Flynn has been criticized for calling students “guests” in a letter to UWM’s vice chancellor.

According to a new study, teens are more likely to engage in risky behavior than other age groups due to a biological tendency giving them greater tolerance toward uncertainty.

The study, published in the Oct. 1 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, reported that teenage risk-taking behavior is fueled by prioritizing reward over risk.

To conduct the experiment, researchers observed the attitudes of 65 individuals aged 12 to 50 on the feelings of risk and ambiguity. They found the teens were more averse to the observed risks than their older counterparts.

Brad Brown, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the teenage mind puts priority on rewards over the risks associated with them.

For example, a teenager would

be willing to make a snappy comment to a teacher, despite the threat of disciplinary action, due to the possibility of receiving respect from fellow classmates. To the teenage brain, the satisfaction of that respect would outweigh the teacher’s punishment.

“Recent findings from research on brain development are also consistent with this study’s findings,” Brown said in an email. “It suggests that brain systems that encourage venturesomeness (including risk taking) tend to mature before brain regions that suppress impulsive behavior and, instead, prompt the individual to think carefully before acting.”

Brown said because the study was lab-based, it could not mirror all the effects of the “real world,” where adolescents are more likely to take risky behaviors.

Brown also said it was crucial to examine the results of the study alongside field research that would examine adolescent behavior in the real world.

“Peer influence is often a factor in adolescents’ decisions about risky and risk-avoidant behaviors,” Brown said. “It would be part of adolescents’ assessment of rewards and risks/losses of a given course of action.”

MUSG to survey students about university core Diverse cultures, theology requirements under student review

By Ben Greene benjamin.greene@marquette.edu

The Marquette Student Government academics committee will review the University Core of Common Studies by administering a core curriculum survey over the next few weeks, the group announced during last week’s Senate meeting.

Before and after fall break, MUSG senators will be in the Alumni Memorial Union and outside the library asking students to respond to questions regarding their core requirements.

As academics committee chair, Sam Schultz, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, has been integral to the creation of the survey. Schultz said Marquette worked with Campus Labs, the same company behind Involvement Link, to develop an innovative way to administer the survey.

“Last year, MUSG purchased some iPod Touches that have a program that, along with the Office of Student Development, (allows us to) survey people,” Schultz said. “Basically, we

give OSD the survey, then they put it into the software and then we can just load it up onto these iPods.”

Schultz, a member of the university’s core curriculum review committee, said now is the perfect time for Marquette to look into a revision of the Core of Common Studies since the university has a reaccreditation visit from the Higher Learning Commission coming up next fall.

“This is a great time to reexamine this foundation of the university,” Schultz said.

John Su, director of the Core Curriculum Review Committee, expressed similar feelings about the timing of the survey. Su said it has been about nine years since Marquette conducted a significant review of its core requirements and that the university should take steps toward keeping its curriculum current.

The major change that was made almost a decade ago was the addition of the diverse cultures requirement, he said. This time around, Su said he is interested to find out what students think about the diverse course offerings and what can be done to improve them.

“I do think there is significant desire among many constituencies to rethink the diverse cultures requirement and how we

can make it serve our students, whether that’s through expanding the requirements, changing how we understand the requirements, or even just trying to be more intentional about how issues associated with diversity should involve many, if not all, of our classes,” Su said.

MUSG Legislative Vice President Jilly Gokalgandhi, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the theology requirement is another area that MUSG is hoping to review.

“We’ve had a lot of students complain that there isn’t enough course selection and course offering within that department — be it world religions or something that isn’t Euro-centric. So we’re looking into that and seeing why we don’t necessarily have that and how we can go about fixing it,” she said.

Schultz said he is eager to hear what students have to say about these issues and report their responses to the university, but he is realistic about the timetable for change.

“Obviously, kids have problems with the core,” Schultz said. “Some people have trouble fitting in majors and minors because of core requirements, and some people have more philosophical problems with the core ... So we’re doing as much as we can, but things move slowly.”

Student Organizations Committee Chair Tommy Hayes, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, announced the acceptance of three student organizations at last Thursday's senate meeting. Those three new groups are Allies of the Club, the Alliance of Black School Educators and the Dispute Resolution Organization.

Senator Kyle Whelton, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, reported that the Alumni Memorial Union advisory board discussed the possibility of offering more food options in the AMU, possibly in the Brooks Lounge.

Alex Lahr, MUSG's communications vice president and a junior in the College of Communication, said MUSG will start running senator profiles on its blog. He said the "get to know an MUSG senator" series is intended to foster outreach and open up communication.

MU reaccredidation committee study underway ‘Reflect-AffirmInspire’ to serve as theme for study

By Melanie Lawder melanie.lawder@marquette.edu

Every 10 years Marquette seeks accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, an agent of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Marquette’s decade-long accreditation expires at the beginning of the 2014 academic year. The university has the opportunity to renew this recognition through an accreditation reaffirmation process.

The commission, founded in 1895, is one of six regional institutional accreditors in the country and has accredited over 1,000 institutions in the north central region of the U.S. according to its website.

The university began preparations for the commission’s reaccreditation in March 2011, said Gary Meyer, co-chair of the steering committee and vice provost for undergraduate and programs and teaching.

To qualify for reaccreditation,

Marquette must submit a self-study report and evaluate its effectiveness at meeting certain criteria. The five necessary criteria pertain to the university’s mission, institutional and educational integrity, high quality educational resources and support, institutional effectiveness and ongoing evaluation and improvement of its educational programs.

This report is followed with a visit by the commission’s representatives, who further inspect the validity of the self-study. Marquette’s on-site visit is scheduled to take place from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, 2013, according to an Oct. 11, 2012, university news brief.

More than 120 Marquette faculty and community members are participating in the reaffirmation part of the reaccreditation process, with one steering committee coordinating the efforts of nine subcommittees to aid in creating the self-study and planning the on-site visits. Marquette must demonstrate its compliance with these five criteria by providing evidence to substantiate their claims.

Sharron Ronco, assessment director and one of the co-chairs of the Subcommittee for the Evaluation of Teaching and Learning, said evidence will likely take the form

et tweet e w t

of university documentation such as school policy and procedures, student retention and graduation rates, student surveys and specific program accreditation reports.

Meyer said strategic plans, descriptions of student organizations, student and faculty handbooks, and reports for task forces may also be used. All evidence will be handled and processed by the evidence subcommittee.

“The goal (of the subcommittees) is to provide an accurate accounting of the university’s work in a given area, to make a ‘snap shot’ of sorts for the accreditation team, allowing those experts to determine how (or) if we meet the criteria established by the Higher Learning Commission,” said Stephanie Quade, dean of students and a co-chair of the subcommittee for integrity, in an email.

Marquette’s chosen theme for the self-study is “Reflect-AffirmInspire.” The first self-study draft will be completed sometime this fall and released to the Marquette community for feedback between Jan. 28 and Feb. 15, 2013. The 200-page final draft will be submitted to the commission in August 2013, about two months before the on-site visit.

We do not have a student body, or a faculty, that reflects the diversity of the United States.”

Gary Krenz, co-chair for the subcommittee for mission Gary Krenz, a co-chair for the subcommittee for mission, said there are always areas of possible improvement at Marquette.

In particular, he said one criteria on which Marquette needs further improvement is that the institution understand “the relationship between its mission and the diversity of society.”

“While Marquette has made advances with regard to diversity, we do not have a student body, or a faculty, that reflects the diversity of the United States,” Krenz said in an email.

According to the university website, the value of accreditation for Marquette is “public certification of acceptable institutional quality” and the “opportunity and incentive for self-improvement in the accredited institution.”

Meyer said the true advantage of reaccreditation is often overlooked because it is seen as something the university has to do. He

said the heart of the reaccreditation process is its self-reflective nature. Meyer believes it gives the school an opportunity to strengthen its weaker attributes through continuous improvement.

Meyer said Marquette has retained the commission’s accreditation for 90 years and it would be very unlikely for it not to be renewed this time around.

He said the current reaccreditation process is operating very smoothly but projected the commission will have critiques for academic and institutional areas in need of improvement.

There are sixty-four other institutions accredited by the commission in Wisconsin, including the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The University of Notre Dame, Saint Louis University and Rockhurst University are also accredited through the commission.

DPS profile: Chief emphasizes personal connections with students service began when he attended West Point Preparatory School in New Jersey, which prepares students for the U.S. States Military. From there, he made his way to Wisconsin when he was recruited by UWWhitewater to play football.

His West Point roots prepared him for his 22 years spent in the military. Once out of the military, he wanted a life in public service. He decided to apply for Marquette’s DPS program and was accepted.

Rickard started at Marquette as a public safety officer working the night shift. He describes this time as an opportunity to better understand the university and DPS as a whole. He moved to the life safety officer position working on evacuation plans and was later promoted to lieutenant shift commander. He

was then promoted to associate director captain and held that position for five years. Eventually, he was selected as chief. “(In) our department, we never want to be just average,” Rickard said. “We want to exceed all expectations, and I know the officers feel that way. We want to ensure that we are keenly aware (of) the feelings of our students, faculty and staff understand that it is extremely important to deliver the best service to the community.”

Rickard said his and the officers’ have a personal connection with the crime, a result of their close ties to the student body.

“I think the thing that makes us unique is that we take every crime that happens very personally,” Rickard said. “We are never going to eliminate

all crime, but we are going to work as hard as we can to help educate our students about how to live in a safe and sensible way in an urban community that offers immeasurable opportunities.”

Rickard’s co-workers have a high level of respect for their chief and said he incorporates his caring personality into his leadership.

“He leads by example and shows his genuine care for the safety and security of the Marquette community on a daily basis,” Lt. Paul Mascari said.

“Our department truly has become one of the best Jesuit public safety departments in the country under his leadership.”

Cpt. Russell Shaw, associate director of DPS, said Rickard’s leadership inspires him and his officers to do their best work.

He leads by example and shows his genuine care for the safety and security of the Marquette community on a daily basis.”

Lt. Paul Mascari, Department of Public Safety “Working with Chief Rickard and being his associate director over the past several years has been a real honor,” Shaw said.

“The chief is firm, but fair, and holds the officers and myself to the highest standards.”

Despite being focused on work, Rickard remains a family man. He and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 30 years.

They have two sons, both of whom are following in their father’s footsteps in the military.

Brandon, who graduated from Marquette last year, is a second lieutenant in the army, and

Larry Jr., who still attends Marquette, is an Iraq war veteran.

Chief Rickard’s quad of officers and the Marquette community serve as a second family to him.

“As I’m closer to the end of my career than the beginning, I certainly want to take this valuable time to pass on some of my learned knowledge and experience to developing some of the younger leaders within the department,” Rickard said. “I’ve really found great satisfaction in really helping people grow and achieving their full potential.”

Pew: Catholic adherents stay steady; Judaism, Islam growing in US statement. “Many atheists are ‘coming out’ and openly declaring their non-belief to friends, family and co-workers. The prejudice still exists, but the statistics prove that the stranglehold of religion is quickly fading away and being replaced by a more tolerant, secular society.”

According to the Pew study, the rise of the religiously unaffiliated does not signal the rise of the godless.

“One-third of the unaffiliated say religion is at least somewhat important in their lives.

Two-thirds believe in God (though less than half say they are absolutely certain of God’s existence),” the study said.

Thus, just because there are people considered to be “nones” (they have no religious affiliation) by the study, they are not necessarily atheists. In fact, while the religiously unaffiliated make up about one fifth of Americans, atheists only make up two percent of the American population. So, while the percentage of Americans who identify as nonaffiliated has risen almost five percent in five

years, the percent of Americans who consider themselves atheist has not even risen a full percentage point (0.8 percent) in that same period.

The decline has been most severe amongst Protestant Christians.

Over the long term, Protestantism has declined, from 62 percent of Americans identifying as Protestant in 1972 to 48 percent in 2012, marking the first time that Christian Protestants have not made up the majority of Americans.

Catholics, on the other hand, have been less affected by the trend, the study said. Over the past 40 years, the percentage of Americans who identify as Catholic has only fluctuated by one percentage point, staying between 26 and 25 percent.

While the study did not focus on non-Christian religions, it did find that other religions, including Judaism and Islam, have grown two percent in the past five years in comparison to the decline in Christianity of five percent.

The Pew study also examined

the political effects of the rising “unaffiliated” demographic.

“The religiously unaffiliated are heavily Democratic in their partisanship and liberal in their political ideology,” the study said. “In the 2008 presidential election, they (the unaffiliated) voted as heavily for Barack Obama as white evangelical Protestants did for John McCain.”

The religiously unaffiliated are much more likely to support legalized abortion and gay marriage than their affiliated counterparts, yet they remain split on their beliefs about the size of government, according to the Pew study.

Another point the study made was not that faith and morals in the U.S. are gone, but rather that many Americans have become disillusioned with organized religion.

“They are much more likely than the public overall to say that churches and other religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules, and too involved in politics,” the study said.

MillerCoors still on tap for Bright future for next season at Bradley Center faculty scholarship Four professors win renowned grants for foreign research

By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

The deal does not have a large impact on the Golden Eagles, according to a Marquette Athletics spokesman.

Company has been sole beer sponsor for Bucks since 1968

By Claudia Brokish claudia.brokish@marquette.edu

On Oct. 8, the BMO Harris Bradley Center announced a ten-year contract renewal between it, MillerCoors and the Milwaukee Bucks. This renewal means MillerCoors will continue to be the Bucks’ sole beer sponsor, as it has since 1968.

According to the MillerCoors press release announcing the deal, this contract means MillerCoors will have the right to use the team’s name and logos while creating consumer and sales promotions. MillerCoors’ two largest brands — Coors Light and Miller Lite — are the primary beneficiaries of the contract, according to the release. Within the Bradley Center, Miller Lite will be the focus, while Coors Light will be featured in external marketing for the Bucks.

“The Milwaukee Bucks are an important part of what makes this city special, and they have been a great partner to us for

many years,” said Tom Long, CEO of MillerCoors, in the press release.

The financial terms of the arrangement were not released, but Bradley Center officials as well as the local business community have been searching for new sources of revenue in recent years while also hoping to maintain existing sources.

According to its website, the Bradley Center generates more than $95 million in direct revenue alone.The Bradley Center is home to the Bucks as well as the Milwaukee Admirals and Mustangs and the Marquette Golden Eagles.

The Bradley Center has hosted approximately 37 million patrons since its opening in 1988, the same year Marquette began playing at the arena. Since then, thousands of Marquette students have been and will continue to be exposed to MillerCoors marketing and products.

Some students, however, have no interest in the MillerCoors contract with the Bradley Center.

“I like Miller better than (Budweiser) products, but it really doesn’t matter to me or affect me in my opinion,” said Riley Burgess, a senior in the College of Business

Administration. “I usually don’t even buy a drink at the games due to the high prices.”

While the deal between the Bradley Center and MillerCoors made no mention of Marquette or the Golden Eagles, it is unlikely that Marquette students who attend basketball games will miss the marketing campaigns. Other prominent Bradley Center sponsors, such as Cricket, already make an appearance at Marquette events through free handouts or posters. But the impact on the Marquette men’s basketball team is expected to be minimal.

“It doesn’t really impact us at all,” said Scott Kuykendall, associate director in Marquette Athletics media relations.

Some believe this contract renewal with MillerCoors, however, is beneficial to the Bradley Center, as well as to the state of Wisconsin. U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), the owner of the Bucks, expressed his support of the continued relationship between MillerCoors and the Bradley Center in the MillerCoors press release. “(MillerCoors’) support for sports, entertainment and the arts throughout the state is essential to the quality of life we enjoy in Wisconsin.”

Four Marquette faculty members currently have the opportunity to travel abroad for research thanks to the U.S. government-funded Fulbright Scholar Program.

The Fulbright program, established in 1946, has provided more than 300,000 individuals with grants to study, teach or research abroad. Approximately 8,000 grants are awarded annually to scholars in year- or semester-long teaching positions.

In order to be considered for the scholar program, faculty must hold a Ph.D or equivalent terminal degree.

Award recipient Claire Badaracco, a retired professor of communication, will use her award to research peace and policy studies at the Center for International Conflict Resolution at the University of Ulster in Derry/Londonderry in Ireland later this school year.

Joseph Daniels, a professor of economics, is studying how U.S. and Canadian residents’ patriotic and nationalistic views have changed since 9/11 at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He is currently the visiting Fulbright chair in governance and public policy in the department of political science at McMaster University.

Steven Long, an associate professor of speech pathology and audiology, accepted his award last February and will teach at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, in Córdoba, Argentina, next April.

Jodi Melamed, an associate professor of English and Africana studies, accepted her award over the summer and will teach two graduate-level courses called “Revolutionizing American Studies” and “Race and Ethnicity in U.S. Literature and Culture” in Berlin.

Long said he had established contacts with individuals at the Escuela de Fonoaudiología (School of Speech Pathology & Audiology) in Argentina and visited the school prior to receiving the Fulbright grant.

He also studied Spanish for the last four years to prepare for the program and fulfill the language requirement the Fulbright program demands.

“It’s something I’ve been working towards for several years, so I felt that I had made a strong application,” Long said.

Long said with the cooperation of his department chair and dean, all classes will be covered during his leave.

Marquette Fulbright Scholars have not received any economic bonuses for their

accomplishments, but Long said Marquette will allow him to miss part of the Spring semester without reducing pay, demonstrating the university’s support of the program.

Melamed said she felt supported by Marquette and that her department chair, Krista Ratcliffe, and Interim Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences the Rev. Phil Rossi worked to help her receive the Fulbright grant.

“The Fulbright is actually a surprisingly small amount of money, and I am grateful that the university showed such strong support for faculty research and made it possible for me to accept the award,” Melamed said.

Melamed said internationalizing the field of American studies in Berlin is what most excites her about the opportunity.

Melamed studied in Berlin during the 1980s and was one of the first American undergraduates to do research in former East Germany at Bertolt Brecht Archive.

“It will be exciting to return to the city as a more seasoned scholar,” Melamed said.

Melamed is also a published author. Her most recent work, “Represent and Destroy: Rationalizing Violence in the New Racial Capitalism,” examines the coproduction of anti-racist ideologies following World War II and focuses on global capitalism.

Badaracco will focus on the intersection of public communication, journalism, religion, political climates and media culture in Ireland.

“I expect to bring back to my classes in the U.S. knowledge gained from this experience, and to continue to co-teach peace studies with Bellarmine, Rafik Hariri University in Beirut, and with Marquette,” Badaracco said.

Daniels said winning the Fulbright award is a tremendous honor as it signifies that scholars’ proposals were worthy among competition.

“The Fulbright gives me the opportunity to interact with students and scholars in another country and in a department (political science) different from my own (economics),” Daniels said. “Though I am not that far away, I am away from my family, my friends and colleagues. It can be difficult at times, but my colleagues at McMaster University are very friendly, which helps.”

Daniels added that the hardest element of the program was preparing the paperwork.

Although efforts were strenuous, it seems Fulbright scholars have a little fun too.

“The (Canadian orientation) program ended with a reception at the U.S. ambassador’s home and then everyone taking (to) the hockey rink at the University of Ottawa for two hours,” Daniels said.

I expect to bring back to my classes in the U.S. knowledge gained from this experience.”

Coach salaries: Pay disparity widened by ‘deferred compensation’

Photo by Alyce Peterson/alyce.peterson@marquette.edu

Buzz Williams ranks eight out of 68 NCAA coaches in terms of pay.

paid employee. Mitchell is the university’s second-highest paid employee with a $427,957 base salary, according to Marquette’s 2011 990 IRS Tax Form.

Williams’ salary is 39 percent greater than the average salary of coaches of men’s teams in the Big East conference and 101 percent more than the national average for Division I basketball teams. When compared to other Division I men’s basketball head coaches, Williams’ base salary more than doubles the national median of $329,300.

With deferred compensation, a bonus and non-taxable benefits thrown into the mix, Williams earned a total of $1,105,203 from Marquette in the 2010-2011 period.

Counting monetary gains outside of Marquette, he raked in $2,834,685 total, according to a USA Today database. Williams ranks eighth on this list of 68 NCAA tournament-qualifying Division I head coaches of men’s basketball.

Williams’ 2010-2011 earnings were more than twice Mitchell’s salary, which amounted to $453,475 with deferred compensation and non-taxable benefits in that same pay period. However, Mitchell’s earnings exceeded the average salary for coaches of women’s teams in the Big East of $129,479 and the $171,600 national median for Division I coaches of women’s basketball teams, according to data from the Department of Education.

Although Williams’ salary was greater than Mitchell’s, they earned a similar portion of their team’s incomes. Both coaches earned less than fifteen percent of their teams’ revenues, with Mitchell recording a salary equal to about 14 percent of her team’s revenues in 2010-2011, and Williams about 7 percent.

Over the last four years, the national median salary of Division I head women’s basketball coaches only increased by 28 percent as opposed to the 40 percent increase for Division I head men’s basketball coaches.

Outside of basketball, the trend remains generally the same. According to the Department of Education’s Equity in Athletics Data Analysis, the average institutional salary for head coaches of men’s teams at Marquette from 2010-2011 was $416,556, while the salary for head coaches of women’s teams was only about a third of that – $153,938.

From 2003 to 2010, the average salary for coaches of NCAA Division I men’s teams in any sport increased by 67 percent to $267,007, according to statistics from the Department of Education. In that same seven-year span, the average salary for coaches of any NCAA Division I women’s team increased by only a fraction

of that — 16 percent — to $98,106.

Team profitability plays a major role in salary discrepancy between programs. Men’s teams tend to bring in more revenue than women’s teams, which allows their coaches to take a bigger slice of the financial pie. As long as both men’s and women’s teams are proportionately funded for items like ads, promotions and staffing, conduct falls within Title IX, a law passed in 1972 that aims to end discrimination based on gender, according to the Department of Education.

Title IX’s three-prong test mandates that institutions fulfill one of three criteria to meet compliance standards. A common route that universities take to satisfy compliance is “demonstrating a continual expansion of athletic opportunities for the underrepresented sex,” which is often fulfilled by schools able to prove a record of continual program expansion that is reactive to the ongoing interests of the underrepresented sex – namely, women – according to The Sports Digest.

In the last decade, Marquette has added two new women’s sports and continues to expand its legacy with its women’s programs — the women’s soccer team clinched its fourth consecutive Big East division title on Sunday.

Additionally, in 2010-2011, Marquette contributed more funding to women’s teams for athletically related student aid. Men’s teams received $1,753,051, while women’s teams received $2,454,167.

Recruiting expenses, however, weren’t close, with $1,289,560 spent on men’s teams and $171,813 on women’s teams – about 13 percent of the men’s expenses.

In comparison, Marquette men’s teams made $5,220,266 in 20102011, while women’s teams earned $118,336, according to the Department of Education. The only two teams that made a positive return on investment at Marquette were men’s and women’s basketball.

The sex discrimination amendment made to the equal Equal Pay Act of 1983, which dictates that employers cannot discriminate against women in pay and job conditions, has little to do with mitigating this gap. Universities usually make the base salaries of coaches of men’s and women’s teams proportionately even and then add on third-party revenues and bonuses as deferred payments later.

Deferred compensation often comes from sources like endorsements, partnering apparel companies, university athletic associations, summer development camps and talent/ appearance fees. Bonuses are also given when teams advance to tournaments, achieve certain academic

standards, win a certain number of games or meet other criteria. These extra payments often widen the income gap between coaches of men’s and women’s sports.

Only five Division I head coaches of women’s basketball eclipsed the million-dollar mark in annual salary in 2011 — Pat Summitt of Tennessee University, Geno Auriemma of the University of Connecticut, Kim Mulkey of Baylor University, C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers University and Gail Goestenkors of the University of Texas, according to an analysis of coaches’ salaries by USA Today. This contrasts the 33 Division I men’s basketball head coaches with million-dollar-plus salaries.

But while schools like Marquette make a profit on men’s basketball in spite of million-dollar salaries, some of these schools did not make a positive return on their investment in big-budget names like Summitt.

According to reports filed to the NCAA, the 2006-2007 academic session was the last year that Tennessee and Connecticut made a profit for women’s basketball.

Tennessee and Connecticut both lost more than $700,000 on their teams in 2009–2010, with Oklahoma posting deficits of $1.1 million in 2006-2007 and upwards of $1.6 million in 2009-2010.

Trailblazers like Summitt, the first coach of a collegiate women’s basketball team to earn more than a million dollars in salary, bring positive attention and invaluable history to not just athletic programs but the universities.

Summitt’s son, Tyler Summitt, is an assistant coach for the Marquette women’s basketball team.

He said the importance of the tradition his mom built at Tennessee was not exclusive to the university.

“Building the women’s basketball legacy at Tennessee went hand in hand with building a platform for women’s sports in general,” Summitt said. “There were many obstacles that my mom had to overcome and many aspects that she had to fight for. For example, she fought for her team to get a bigger locker room. She fought to get television exposure for her team and women’s basketball overall.”

Summitt said he’s seen what it takes to build championships and aspires to eventually become the head coach of a Division I program.

“My mom helped show that basketball isn’t just a men’s sport and that women can compete at the highest level as well,” Summitt said. “She continually fought to give her players the best experience that they could possibly have and never accepted (being) on a lower level than the men’s teams.”

Falling in love with autumn Illustration by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu

By this point in the semester, students have a pretty good handle on whether they enjoy or dread their classes. After cramming for that first test or happily printing out the initial paper, you know what to expect from your professors. In some cases, this can be huge relief. In others ... let’s just say we’re surprised we made it to midterm week alive.

For us (and many others, we suspect), the teaching style and personality of the professor have a lot of influence on the perception of our classes. And when your professor uses her or his position in the classroom to advocate personal political beliefs and belittle those who think differently, it becomes much more difficult to focus on the actual content of the class. The course evaluation can turn into an essay complaining about everything you hated in the class instead of pointing out legitimate areas of strengths and weaknesses.

We do not mean to say this is a widespread problem at Marquette — it isn’t — but when we are more aware of political diversity on our campus, we can work to promote a better learning environment, especially during a heated election season.

University classes are supposed to foster free thinking and open students’ minds to new ideas, not serve as a podium from which professors can preach.

Students want to be challenged and presented with new ideas, but professors need to allow them room to struggle with their own thoughts and form individual opinions. Too much political advocacy in the classroom can alienate students and make them less willing to participate in the learning process.

This also goes for religious beliefs. Marquette is a Catholic and Jesuit institution, but students of all faiths and denominations attend the university. We must respect

“

others’ religious beliefs and how they may relate to certain political opinions.

We respect academic freedom, and we encourage professors and students to tackle difficult and controversial topics. However, there is a difference between analyzing how politics or religion relates to class discussion and pushing views onto others as an absolute fact and for no apparent reason.

We do not mean to say the university should shy away from political discourse, but discussions must be presented in a way that questions the ideas at hand, not the people who believe them. Personal attacks do nothing to further education; in fact, we believe they hinder it.

There is a difference between civil, engaged conversation and blatant ranting. We encourage professors and students alike to explore that distinction over fall break.

All students and professors should be open-minded to others’ opinions, in and outside of the classroom. Instead of having politics divide lecture halls, use it as a way to apply different ideas and modes of thinking to a decision that will define our country for the next four years. This means critically thinking about conflicts and how they may relate to the election.

People are allowed to be passionate.

Really, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Just because we don’t want onesided gripes about personal beliefs during class doesn’t mean we want “cushy” discussions with no value. We want to be able to challenge ourselves while respecting our classmates.

Students should feel free to disagree with their peers or professors without fear of ridicule or attack. So let the classroom be a safe place to voice respectful opinions and learn from all sides of an issue, not a chance to isolate people who think differently.

THE ONLY THING THAT

INTERFERES WITH MY LEARNING

IS MY EDUCATION.

”

-ALBERT EINSTEIN

Caroline Campbell Since I have forgone my usual early listening to Christmas music in order to enjoy the pre-Christmas … I mean autumn season, I thought I would share some of the things I have discovered that make fall such a great season.

1. Pumpkin-flavored everything: I had not tried the famed pumpkin-spice latte from everyone’s favorite corporate coffee house until a few weeks ago. And I am in love. My life may be forever changed.

2. Beautiful scenery: This season is a photographer’s dream, and I’ve been noticing lately just how gorgeous the foliage in Milwaukee has been. I also spent all last weekend off campus at a camp and was amazed by the beauty of the world around me.

3. Football: The (other) great American pastime. It tends to consume every fan’s Sunday afternoon, and I don’t hate it. Though my Kansas City Chiefs have let me down even more this year than in the past, I still can’t think of a better way to spend three hours of my weekend than in front of the TV watching a bunch of grown men crash into each other for obscene amounts of money while crowds of people scream at them.

4. Halloween and Thanksgiving: Though neither holiday was originally intended to be such, these two autumn holidays have evolved into excuses for celebrants to eat as much candy and turkey as they can, respectively. Some of it is even pumpkin-flavored. It’s fine, though, because we can play some football

afterwards and burn all those calories off.

5. Fall break: Marquette students are blessed to have two extra days to a weekend in mid-October to recover from midterm exams. Though many universities don’t reward their students in such a generous way, we are lucky to have the opportunity to do nothing for four days instead of two (can you tell I’m ready for break?).

6. Basketball: The one sport that is even more exciting about fall than football is college basketball. Last week, schools across the nation celebrated their own versions of Marquette Madness to mark the official beginning of the NCAA basketball season. Soon many of us will make the trek to the Bradley Center and climb the Everest-like stairs to the top of the student section – at least those of us who aren’t patient or brave enough to stand outside in the cold to be the early birds to the game – to watch our beloved Golden Eagles.

7. Jackets: While the air is growing colder and colder by the day, the bitter Wisconsin winds have not yet begun to merit the wearing of knee-length down parkas. This is good news for those who live for fashion, but also for the rest of us, who just really dislike wearing an extra fifteen pounds worth of clothing on a daily basis.

8. The beginning of holiday TV specials: “Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?!” Well, I’m not sure if I’m going to get a visit from the Great Pumpkin this Halloween, but I’m so excited to watch Linus wait all night in the pumpkin patch for him. I’m also looking forward to watching such classics as “Hocus Pocus” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas” on everyone’s favorite ABC Family show, “13 Days of Halloween.”

I used to think there wasn’t much to look forward to in fall except the end of it, but I’ve found recently that isn’t the case. Finding exciting things about the season makes it more enjoyable and gives me so much more to look forward to than the 25th of December. caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

A late hatcher tests his wings in ‘Twitterverse’

Tony Manno This fall break, I’ve decided I’m going to jump on the caboose of the Twitter train with my first tweets. Contain your excitement, my 15 followers. I’m going to try to make these as interesting as I can.

I’ve always avoided Twitter, writing it off as a mechanism for CNN to feel young again and a forum for fake Michael Jordans.

I wasn’t going to buy into the 140 characters, thinking a barrage of information tidbits is about as revolutionary as Dippin’ Dots.

But maybe Twitter has its merits, and I just have yet to tap into them.

After all, as time has gone by, Twitter’s full potential has been unveiled. In Iran’s Green Revolution and in the Arab Spring, Twitter provided a means of swift communication both internally and across the world. Rather than cutting down information with its length constraints, Twitter has proved it can condense that information to a form that is quick and easy to absorb. It’s all so simple.

I’ve had my reasons for keeping away from the little blue bird – I also don’t have a smartphone, and my stupidphone isn’t Twitter friendly. But I’ve decided it’s time to jump in. As I get acquainted, here are some of my tweets to look forward to over break.

Planes, trains and automobiles: I have about 17 hours worth of travel time to kill on my trip home to Cleveland, most of which will be filled with the live entertainment that comes free with a ride on the Megabus.

On one past ride, the bus was pulled over by three cop cars after a grumpy and chilly passenger secretly called the fuzz to warn about an unstable bus

driver. As it turns out, she was just peeved after the driver told her he couldn’t raise the bus’s temperature. One cop asked the rest of the passengers if the driver was in any way acting like a loon, to which the response was a resounding “NOPE.” Of course, the driver set the rest of the ride at 90 mph cruise control to make up for lost time, so I can’t say he had all his marbles. Thanks a lot, lady. Another of these situations may warrant a live-tweeting scenario.

A long-awaited grilled cheese: As a Cleveland staple and Food-Network-famous food joint, Melt Bar & Grilled will surely be getting a visit or two from me. I’ve worked hard to make my way through this restaurant’s colossal list of grilled cheese sammies, from one with lasagna to the almighty “Parmageddeon” pierogi sandwich.

Expect a gooey play-by-play and a reveal of which sandwich is worthy of a tweet.

The retweet: I vow to retweet an interesting factoid from my diverse list of followees, from OnMilwaukee to Bill Nye the Science Guy. This may or may not be in jest of some political remark.

Internet links: I always find cool stuff on the Internet.

My 24-mile skydive to Earth: Over break, I will attempt to jump from the edge of the earth, somewhere beyond the cosmic horizon, and parachute down to the New Mexico desert.

My daredevil persona will break free.

It’s where I get my nickname, Tony “The Tornado” Manno.

It’s been done? Well, I guess I’ll pass then. Just take my word for it that I would have done this otherwise. Maybe Felix Baumgartner’s tweets will be a bit more interesting than mine this week. (Really, how cool was that?)

So wish me luck in my tweeting, folks.

They may not be earth-shaking, but hey, I have to start somewhere. Follow me at @tonymanno64, and feel free to pass along some tips and tricks to get me started.

(And just be happy I went through this whole column without a hashtag pun. #irony.) anthony.manno@marquette.edu

Televising my guilty pleasures

Brooke Goodman Guilt can be a pretty awful feeling. Not studying for a test, forgetting to call your mom after promising to do so or breaking up with someone are all things that might keep us up at night. Although guilt is often seen as negative, there is one type of guilt that always, without fail, is positive.

I’m talking about guilt that manifests itself in the form of pleasure.

Guilty pleasures are the love-hate relationships that we spend far too much time thinking about but refuse to admit to. They’re the hidden thoughts, embarrassing interests and unusual habits that brighten our days. The best thing about guilty pleasures, though, is that some can’t even be defined as guilty anymore because so many other people share the same peculiar obsessions.

What was once meant to be secret is now totally acceptable.

One of the best types of guilty (or notso-guilty, anymore) pleasures exists within TV. There have been, and are currently, some pretty deranged shows out there. Our guilt stems from the fact that we would never morally support the shows’ absurdities in real life. At the same time, though, we justify such obsessions by reminding ourselves that the actors are making bank and often acting from a script.

What it boils down to is that sometimes we just want to watch nonsense.

And that’s totally okay.

My personal guilty pleasure show – the twisted “American Horror Story” on FX – returns for its second season this Wednesday, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Although it comes from the writers of “Glee,” this show is so unbearably perturbing that it’s irresistible.

I honestly can’t justify why I like this show. Maybe it’s because the plot line is brilliant and sickening at the same time.

Maybe it’s because I’m awkwardly drawn to fictitious evil – yes, I would choose to be in Slytherin at Hogwarts. Maybe it’s that one of the show’s characters last season inspired my current hair color.

Or maybe it’s as simple as Adam Levine being a recurring character this season.

Whatever it is, this show may not be for you, but it absolutely is for me.

There are plenty of other guilty pleasure shows that aren’t quite as ... warped ... as mine, though. Let’s look

at some of the best known (and most guilty) over the years.

The Bachelor/The Bachelorette: This show is guiltily pleasurable for both men and women. It’s so much of a guilty pleasure that people (myself included) regularly visit sites like Reality Steve to read spoilers before the season even premieres.

So much of the show is scripted – cue awkward mask man, Bentley and every time the Bachelor or Bachelorette says, “That was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.” But the hopeless romantics in each of us still want the relationships built on the show to last. Even if only three couples out of 24 seasons are still together, one thing that will never be second-guessed is the fact that Chris Harrison has the easiest job in the world, and we all secretly want to be him.

Anything on TLC: If someone can name one show on TLC that isn’t absolutely ridiculous, please let me know.

I feel bad for the poor individuals who get their lives displayed on this channel, no matter if it’s in “Dance Moms,” “Toddlers and Tiaras,” “Say Yes to the Dress” or “My Strange Addiction.” Some of these shows are simply unreal. But let’s face it, ranking seven-year-olds in a pyramid due to their dance performances, watching toddlers go tanning, Pinterest wedding boards in television form and people who like to eat glue make us all feel better about ourselves.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: This might be a stretch, but just hear me out.

I owe my sister for introducing me to this gem of Nickelodeon entertainment. This weird animation is absolutely addictive.

It’s more than just a cartoon. It has political undertones. Oh, yes. And is actually pretty funny in a shamelessly geeky kind of way. If you can watch this show and not debate which type of bender you would be, you’re clearly missing the point. The movie was a fail, but this show is nothing to be laughed at.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager: This show doesn’t even deserve to be called a guilty pleasure. The only guilty thing about it is how the actors should feel for agreeing to say the word “sex” at least 200 times per episode. It’s all the characters in the show think about.

I’m not quite sure if this is a strategic move by the writers to gain viewers or if the show really is just as baffling as it seems. Either way, it’s not okay.

The list goes on and on. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to things such as Lifetime made-for-TV movies or “Talk Sex with Sue Johanson,” which I’m sure more than a few of us felt oh-so-rebellious watching back in the day. The message, however, is clear. Guilty pleasures are nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, they’re probably not as guilty as you think. brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

Marquette captures fourth consecutive division title

Four-peat a chance to reflect for Family Michael LoCicero Winning four straight division titles is difficult to do regardless of the sport or level.

When the Marquette women’s soccer team clinched its fourth straight American Division championship Sunday afternoon, it marked a tremendous accomplishment for a senior class that has done nothing but win.

I talked to seniors Rachel Brown and Ally Miller last week and both of them said they didn’t really understand what it meant to play their hardest for the senior class until they were seniors.

The men’s basketball program will always be the bell cow at Marquette, and I understand that. But there are plenty of other teams here that deserve the same recognition.

This team continually goes about its business and finds a way to get the job done.

Consider this: since the beginning of the 2010 Big East season, the women’s soccer team is 29-1-1 in conference play. It hasn’t lost at home to a Big East opponent since 2009.

Coming out and playing at a high level every game with a target on your back is no easy task. The Packers are experiencing a bit of that this year and finally realized Sunday that they can’t just show up and win.

The difference is that for four straight years, the women’s soccer team has risen up to just about every challenge the Big East has thrown at it.

I’ve had the pleasure of covering this team over the last three years, and I can’t imagine I will work with another team that has the success this program has had.

I feel a connection with the “Family” that I don’t feel with any other program here.

Golden Eagles clinch with weekend wins over Syracuse, SJU

By Kyle Doubrava kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

Winning a Big East soccer division title raises eyebrows, but winning four in a row drops jaws.

With the Marquette women’s soccer team’s 2-0 win over Syracuse on Sunday, the No. 22/15 Golden Eagles officially finished first in the Big East American Division for the fourth consecutive season.

“Like I told them in the huddle, we’ve won four in a row,” coach Markus Roeders said.

“Our senior class has won four in a row. There aren’t many players out there who have a chance to win one.”

Marquette also won it’s game on Friday over St. John’s 3-0 en route to its clinching win.

After drawing 1-1 at Connecticut last weekend, the Golden Eagles were hoping their defense would come through this weekend. Senior midfielder Rachel Brown, who scored in

Sunday’s match, was impressed at how the team rebounded in that regard.

“These games were really important for us coming back from Connecticut,” Brown said.

“These teams that we played were very tough, physical teams.

I think we all had to make sure we played defense both on the offensive side and the defensive side. I think it was really important for us to just get these two shutouts and put away our chances.”

Marquette dominated possession on Friday and Sunday. It didn’t allow a shot on goal until the 78th minute Sunday.

Squeezing the opponents’ offensive schemes has become customary for this team all season, and senior forward Lisa Philbin gave high praise to the defense for coming through in both games.

“I think our back four have proven to be really solid all season long,” Philbin said. “They’re so solid as a unit and they work well together. They can play out of pretty much any situation. We didn’t do anything different this weekend. I think we’re just going to keep on being that solid unit going forward.”

On the offensive end this

We have to prepare ourselves mentally because when we’re in a groove, we will win the game.We’re unstoppable.”

Rachel Brown, senior midfielder

weekend, Marquette used a diligent attack to create numerous fast breaks and dismantle the opposing defense.

The Golden Eagles scored their three goals Friday in the second half and got their first goal on Sunday in the third minute. Marquette is tied for first in the conference with 2.8 goals per game, and Roeders was satisfied with how the team moved the ball this weekend.

“As long as you score a goal you have that feel that we have the chance to win,” Roeders said. “You’ve got to be aggressive on offense, because at the end of the day it helps you score goals. It’s part of the game. It’s how we program and how we train. Everybody has to attack and everybody has to defend.”

The Golden Eagles close out the regular season this Saturday against South Florida at Valley Fields.

Despite yet another division title under their belts, the players are not going to lose focus for the final game before taking part in the crucial Big East Tournament. Marquette will host a quarterfinal match Sunday, Oct. 28.

“From here on out it’s only going to get harder,” Brown said.

“We have to prepare ourselves mentally because when we’re in a groove we will win the game.

We’re unstoppable. If we (are) mentally prepared from here on out, just like we have been, we’ll keep on winning.”

Five-set wins keep coming for MU Team learning to win close matches ‘the kind of hard way’

By Patrick Leary patrick.leary@marquette.edu

The Marquette volleyball team gritted out two five-set wins at Seton Hall and Rutgers over the weekend.

On Saturday, Marquette defeated the Pirates 20-25, 25-16, 25-22, 23-25, 15-11 behind a career-high 19 kills and 11 digs from sophomore outside hitter Lindsey Gosh.

Sunday afternoon, senior right side hitter Holly Mertens (career-high 23 kills) and junior setter Elizabeth Koberstein (career-high 61 assists) powered the Golden Eagles to a comeback victory over Rutgers by scores of 22-25, 28-30, 25-19, 25-17, and 15-10.

Coach Bond Shymansky said Marquette gained great experience from the two wins and was happy his team showed it didn’t have to lose to learn about itself.

“We learned a lot about ourselves this weekend,” Shymansky said. “We’re fortunate to not learn the really hard way.

We just learned it the kind of hard way. That was a great wake-up call.”

The Rutgers match tested the Golden Eagles emotionally more than any other in 2012.

After falling behind 2-0, the

team went into the locker room needing to win three straight sets on the road.

“Bond (Shymansky) talked about how the problem was more on our side of the net,” Koberstein said. “He said that we weren’t showing up emotionally to play, and we all agreed with that. We were playing with fear rather than playing to win. We all knew that, and we all felt that, and it was just a matter of needing to change it.”

And change it they did. Marquette responded by winning the next three sets by at least five points to improve to 17-3 and 7-0 in the Big East.

“Rutgers came out just wanting to really beat us,” Mertens said. “They caught us off guard a little bit. After those first two sets, we knew that it was do-ordie. We didn’t want to go home 6-1 in the Big East. We turned it on and played Marquette volleyball.”

On Saturday, the Golden Eagles faced a different kind of five-set challenge. They won a back-and-forth battle with an emotionally charged Seton Hall squad. Shymansky said Gosh really impressed him in the victory.

“Lindsey Gosh was really amazing against Seton Hall,” Shymansky said. “She was pounding the ball. She blocked well, played great defense, she served really well, passed

Five-setters: Squad now 7-0 in Big East

the facts: Marquette will face its toughest Big East opponent yet when it hosts the Cardinals. Louiseville currently ranks second in the conference behind the Golden Eagles with an 18-3 record and 7-1 mark in Big East play. Senior outside hitter Lola Arsianbekova leads the Cardinals in kills with 391, while junior setter Hannah Kvitie leads in assists with 487. Meanwhile Marquette is still undefeated in confrenece play at 7-0 and is looking to stay on top of the standings. If the rankings remain consistent this will likely be a battle for first place in the conference and have major implications for Marquette’s postseason prospects.

Men’s Lacrosse

Golden Eagles finish fall season undefeated at 3-0 Team shines in first home game with 9-5 over D-III Concordia

Marquette’s lacrosse program has gotten off to a great start with three straight exhibition wins. Detroit and Duke will visit the Valley this spring.

?

ere h W A re Th ey o N Hayden Knight is the all-time leading point scorer in men’s soccer history.

The former Marquette forward played for the Warriors from 1976-79 and shares the lead in career goals with Jose Itarte, who played from 1982-85. His 52 career goals and 146 career points will be difficult to beat.

Knight was born in Trinidad, but his family moved to Brooklyn when he was a child. He attended high school in Appleton, Wis., through a program called “A Better Chance.”

From there, he came to Milwaukee and rewrote the program’s record book in impressive fashion.

He played professional soccer all across North America, starting in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Converted to a defender after leaving Marquette, Knight played indoor and outdoor soccer, finishing his nine-year career in 1989 with the Milwaukee Wave.

Knight is now a social studies teacher in Cedarburg, Wisc. He has coached for Mequon Soccer Club over the past few years and has served as the technical director for the club. Knight was also inducted into the Wisconsin Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s lacrosse team played the program’s first ever home game at Valley Fields against Concordia on Saturday morning and came away with a 9-5 victory. The win marks the end of the fall season, in which Marquette finished 3-0.

The Concordia victory comes just one week after the Golden Eagles won their first two exhibition matches in program history against High Point and Robert Morris at the Nick Colleluori Classic in Philadelphia.

Tyler Melnyk led the offense last weekend, but an influx of different players provided the offense for Marquette and complemented his goal on the day.

Freshmen Connor Gately, Ryan Buckley and Paul Riportella left their mark on the scorecard with goals. Redshirt freshman KC Kennedy looked at the game as a chance to continue his campaign for more

playing time when the spring season comes.

“Right now, I’m one of the many guys battling for time every day,” Kennedy said. “Every time we come out, it’s like a war.”

Freshman Brendan Smith played in his first game of the season and provided a goal at the end of the game.

Before arriving at Marquette, Smith was ranked 80th on ESPN’s top 100 recruits for the class of 2012. Smith’s accuracy and power are among the best on the team, and he savored Saturday’s opportunity to showcase his talent.

Concordia may be a Division III school, but redshirt freshman Dan Mojica made sure the defense did not overlook its competitors.

“You still have to come out and prove you’re the better team by giving it your all,” Mojica said. “It doesn’t matter, because you’re trying to do your best no matter what.”

Rain was coming down at Valley Fields on Saturday morning, but it did not stop hundreds of fans from making themselves at home for the game. Rain does not compete with the snow that the team has put up with in the

past preparing for its inaugural campaign.

Coach Joe Amplo said the team’s energy decreased from last week’s victories through the week’s practices and that he noticed a slower start to Saturday’s game.

“Today was a little disappointing in the sense that the emotional energy from last week did not carry over into this week,” Amplo said. “I hope they learned a valuable lesson that the emotional investment that they bring each week needs to be the same.”

Up next for Marquette is a shift in practice focus. Morning lifting workouts with strength and conditioning coach Todd Smith will continue, but there will be more individual focus on each player by the coaching staff.

The next exhibition matches will be on the road against Michigan, Hofstra and Pennsylvania. Marquette does not have a game at Valley Fields until it faces Detroit on April 20.

That is one of two home games this season, with the other coming against Duke.

Huftalin, Lysak bring havoc Seniors the heart of MU’s offensive success during amazing run

By Matt Trebby matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Ever since they were kids playing against each other, Andy Huftalin and Adam Lysak’s nonstop styles set them apart.

Now that they are bringing that same attitude to the field for Marquette, the Golden Eagles are reaping the benefits.

“Ever since we’ve been little, we’ve played with and against each other and always brought that same attitude,” Lysak said.

“I remember whenever we played against each other, we always clashed heads.”

Huftalin has seven goals on the season, and Lysak has four goals and four assists. In their fourth season with the program, they both knew if they were to make an impact, it had to be this season.

“It was definitely make or break,” Lysak said. “It’s time to show our team what we’re capable of. I know ‘Hufty’ came in with the same attitude, and I guess in that sense we did come in with a chip on our shoulder, and we knew

it would make us successful.”

Huftalin’s role in the offense is to get in the 18-yard box and cause havoc. While he doesn’t really see much of the ball, Huftalin knows his role on the team and is executing it very well.

“It’s actually very surprising how much I’m not really involved in the offense up until the last third of the field,” Huftalin said. “I’ll help out when I can, but mainly my job is to find my holes and runs in the box, and when the ball is served in I’m supposed to score.”

The senior forward is showing the potential coach Louis Bennett saw right away. The former Winnebago High School standout is the all-time leader in Illinois high school soccer history with 118 assists, and he ranks seventh with 134 goals.

While he didn’t progress as quickly as he would have liked, Huftalin is now playing the way he did prior to arriving at Marquette, Bennett says.

“It’s taken him a little bit of time to adjust to college and us to adjust to him and to help him find who he was,” Bennett said. “When we saw him play, I love the fact that he was very straightforward, very simplistic, and you got what you saw.”

Lysak’s success this season is due to a switch to midfield where

he has more time to attack defenders with the ball. He scored one goal and assisted another in the team’s win against then-No. 2 Connecticut. Bennett called his overall performance “one of the best of the season.”

Having played together and known each other for a long time, Huftalin and Lysak are happy for the other’s success and knew it was only a matter of time before they broke into the Marquette team.

“Adam and I have both been through our ups and downs in our careers here,” Huftalin said. “He’s been searching for a while for his spot on the field where he can show what he can do on the field and show his potential.”

“I knew it was a matter of time for him,” Lysak said about Huftalin. “I’ve seen what he’s capable of, and the work he puts in is unreal. He never stops working.

It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been playing or how many training sessions we’ve had in a week.

When it comes to game time he just won’t stop working.”

Whether or not they are playing well, there is one thing about Huftalin and Lysak’s game that can’t be taught, Huftalin says.

“You can always count on Adam and me to play our hearts out and do the best we can.”

Cross COUNTRY

One thing these seniors haven’t done yet is win a Big East Tournament championship. That chance will come later this season, but I’m sure the team has already finished celebrating another division title and is focusing on the South Florida game Saturday night.

After that, the Golden Eagles will host a Big East quarterfinal match for the fourth straight year and if they win, they will travel to Storrs, Conn., with the opportunity to check another box off their resume.

Hosting an NCAA Tournament game for the third consecutive season is also down the road, but I’m asking Golden Eagle fans to reflect on being able to watch a winning product just

Marquette’s men’s and women’s cross-country teams competed in Peoria, Ill., on Friday afternoon at the Bradley Classic and finished second and fifth, respectively. Marquette’s men’s team was listed as third on the meet’s results page, but Illinois was an unattached team and was running athletes without eligibility.

Coach Mike Nelson and the men’s team were hoping to rebound after a disappointing finish at the Greater Louisville Classic, and they did that with a pack time of 25:03, which was about a 40-second improvement from their last race.

Senior Jack Hackett was the top men’s finisher for the first time all season, as he ran 24:24 to finish fifth overall. The run was an eight-second improvement on his personal best. Senior Connor Callahan ran 25:28 in Louisville and shaved off 33 seconds to run 24:55 and finish 14th overall.

Family: Sustained success still impresses about every game since coach Markus Roeders took over 17 years ago.

It’s not just about what this team has done in winning division titles, but the sustained success it has achieved during Roeders’ tenure.

He is 248-91-35 at Marquette and has appeared in 10 NCAA Tournaments, with another on the way. The Golden Eagles have never had a losing season or won fewer than 11 games under Roeders.

There was a bit of uncertainty when this season started.

All-Americans Natalie Kulla and Kerry McBride graduated, as well as Lindsey Page, who provided a spark for the team whenever she took the pitch.

The way freshman Amanda Engel and junior Emily Jacobson have replaced Kulla and McBride has been uncanny.

I never had a doubt this team would play at a high level, but even I didn’t think it would win every game in conference play thus far.

It has a chance to finish Big East play unbeaten again with a win on Senior Night, and the possibilities after that are endless. Roeders hasn’t gotten past the Sweet 16 yet, but that’s not too far down the road.

I know my days covering this team are limited, but for now I’m going to sit back and enjoy the ride. Join me?

Seniors Patrick Maag and Jack Senefeld ran their best times all season as they continued to improve after injuries. Maag and Senefeld were the men’s third and fourth finishers, with freshmen Cody Haberkorn and William Hennessy right behind them.

Three freshmen ran their first 6,000-meter race on the women’s side and contributed to the fifth place finish. Molly Hanson is threefor-three for coming in first place in the last three meets on the women’s side. She completed her first 6,000-meter race in 21:34, and she appears ready to lead at the Big East cross-country championship.

The conference championship will take place Oct. 26 at Van Cortlandt Park in New York.

The men head to New York unranked in the latest U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s regional ranking for the Great Lakes region, while the women stay in 12th place for the second week in a row.
