Final debate spotlights Middle East

MU senior honored for service in Navy ROTC

Obama did an excellent job portraying his vision for America during the debate by calling Romney out when he thought it was necessary.

“I think we saw a standard Mitt Romney tonight, and I am still not exactly sure of his position.

He bumbled around,” Bowman said. “I was impressed with the vision that Barack Obama laid

The ninth-highest military award and the fourth-highest combat decoration, the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross, was awarded to Courtney Martin, battalion executive officer and senior in the College of Arts & Sciences Oct. 11.

Martin was awarded the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for achievement and outstanding performance as a Navy ROTC midshipman. She represents the north-central region and is one of six ROTC students in the country to receive the annual award. Recipients are chosen from ROTC students across the country, including Navy midshipmen and Army and Air Force Cadets.

“Upon winning I was extremely honored and really in shock,” Martin said. “It’s such an incredible compliment to be recognized by such a prestigious organization as the Legion of Valor.”

The Bronze Cross was pinned

by Capt. Joseph A. Bauknecht, commanding officer of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, during Martin’s ceremony on campus.

Martin is not the first Marquette student awarded the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross.

President Barack Obama listens as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney speaks during the third presidential debate at Lynn University on Monday, in Boca Raton, Fla. Middle Eastern countries, particularly Syria, Libya and Iran, received the most attention from the two candidates.

Domestic concerns highlighted in foreign policy discussions

By Alexandra Whittaker

alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney went head to head in

the final presidential debate last night, discussing foreign relations between the U.S. and Libya, China, Iran’s nuclear program, the size and funding of the U.S. military, and withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The better part of the 90-minute debate was spent sparring over the proper U.S. approach to the Middle East, with discussion centering on Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Iran.

The two candidates repeatedly pivoted from foreign to domestic issues such as the economy and taxes. Obama showed his aggressive side by saying Romney was “all over the map” with his policies, telling the former governor, “Every time you’ve offered an opinion, you’ve been wrong.”

Shooting at Brookfield spa kills four, injures four Mass shooting is second in Wis. over the last three months

By Nick Biggi

nicholas.biggi@marquette.edu

A gunman opened fire in a Brookfield spa Sunday morning at approximately 11 a.m., killing three women and himself.

Four other women in the spa at the time were severely injured in the shooting. The gunman,

Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, was a former Marine and reportedly sought to kill his wife, Zina, who worked in the spa located approximately 20 minutes from Marquette’s campus. It was revealed Monday that Zina Haughton was among the victims who were killed.

Prior to Sunday’s shooting, Zina Haughton requested a temporary restraining order against him after he slashed her tires Oct. 8.

On Oct. 18, that turned into a four-year restraining order.

In the request, Zina Haughton explained that her husband had

The restraining order stated Haughton was prohibited from owning any firearms. Despite this, just two days after the court ordered him to turn in all firearms, Haughton purchased the gun used in the attack, the Associated Press reported Monday afternoon.

DPS Reports

News in Brief US and Iran to begin nuclear talks

According to a Saturday article in the New York Times, the United States and Iran have agreed in principle to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program for the first time ever. Later that day, the White House said a final agreement had not been reached, although it remains open to such an agreement.

The Iranian foreign ministry dismissed the report as well Sunday.

Secret exchanges between American and Iranian officials about an agreement date back as far as the beginning of President Obama’s term, according to the Times article. This news comes just two weeks before the U.S. presidential election, though Iranian officials have said in the past they would prefer to wait until after the election so they know with whom they will be negotiating.

American officials have said they are uncertain whether Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had signed off on the effort and noted Iran’s history of using the promise of diplomacy to ease international pressure on it, the Times reported.

Moreover, Israeli officials have expressed fear that Iran would use new talks to “advance their nuclear weapons program,” according to the Times article.

“We do not think Iran should be rewarded with direct talks,” said Michael B. Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the United States to the New York Times Saturday.

Iran had previously rejected oneon-one talks with the U.S. for years, but failure to avoid a European oil embargo in June that hurt the nation’s economy may have pushed Tehran to open up to direct talks, American officials said.

Full NHL season unlikely

Neither the NHL nor NHL Players’ Association have any plans to reconvene in

negotiations despite the Oct. 25 deadline to salvage a full 82game season looming this week.

If the players reach an agreement

by Thursday’s deadline, the season would start Nov. 2. The lockout entered its 38th day today.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daley said the two sides spoke via telephone over the weekend, but they did not schedule any bargaining meetings. The stalling comes after NHL commissioner Gary Bettman presented a surprise offer to the NHLPA last week that would have split hockey-related revenue at 50-50 and guaranteed a full season, despite canceling all games between Oct. 11 and Oct. 24.

Medals taken from Lance Armstong Lance Armstrong has been stripped of all racing results since Aug. 1, 1998 and has been banned from future competition, the International Cycling Union (UCI) announced Monday. The decision was made following the Oct. 10 release of a report by the U.S. AntiDoping Agency alleging that Armstrong was the leader of “a massive team doping scheme, more extensive than any previously revealed in professional sports history.”

Several of Armstrong’s sponsors, including Nike, Oakley and Radioshack, have withdrawn their support of the 41-year old seventime Tour de France champion, who had also stepped down as chairman of his foundation, Livestrong, following the release of the report.

“Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling; he deserves to be forgotten in cycling,” said UCI president Pat McQuaid during a press conference.

Despite the report’s allegations, which include the testimony of former team members, Armstrong has remained adamant in maintaining his innocence. During a Livestrong fundraiser Friday, Armstrong said, “It’s been a difficult couple of

weeks for me and my family,” but he has yet to address the UCI’s ban as of Monday afternoon.

Sunscreen catches fire, causes recall

Energizer Holdings Inc., the maker of Banana Boat Sunscreen products, announced the recall of 23 “UltraMist” sun care products Friday after five reports that people using the sunscreen had suffered burns resulting from the sunscreen catching fire after the product had come into contact with a flame or spark.

According to the company’s press release, the problem is believed to be the result of the spray valve opening administering “more (sunscreen) than is typical in the industry for continuous sun care sprays. As a result, the product is taking longer to dry on the skin than is typical with other continuous sprays. If a consumer comes into contact with a flame or spark prior to complete drying of the product on the skin, there is a potential for the product to ignite.”

ABC News reported Sunday that since 2010, the company has sold more than 20 million units of the “UltraMist” products.

Retired MU librarian passes away Constance Johnson, who retired from Marquette in 2006, passed away Oct. 12. Johnson, who was 82, worked at the law library for more than 33 years.

She developed and authored the “Filer’s Guide for LooseLeaf Services in a Law Library.” She also worked in other schools and libraries before coming to Marquette.

Johnson grew up in Faribault, Minn., and earned degrees in history and English literature at St. Benedict’s College in St. Joseph, Minn., in 1952.

Fundraiser today in 2040s Six-year-old boy in recovery after bone marrow transplant

By Seamus Doyle

seamus.doyle@marquette.edu

On Feb. 17, five-year-old Jake Larkin of San Francisco was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia.

The condition is a “blood disorder in which the body’s bone marrow doesn’t make enough new blood cells,” according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, a subsidiary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In Larkin’s case, the disease would have been fatal without a bone marrow transplant.

Seven months later, Larkin, now six, is on the road to recovery in Milwaukee, where he and his family moved for specialist care. He received a bone marrow transplant on Sept. 15 at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

In honor of Larkin’s recovery, the 2040s Lofts on Wis. Ave. is hosting a get-well event, which will include the making of “Get Well Soon” cards, according to

Hien Doan, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and a 2040 Lofts employee planning the event. The fundraiser, open to the public, will take place Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. in the 2040 Lofts.

“I’ve been keeping up with his story and his family for months,” Doan said. Though she does not know the Larkin family personally, she, like many others, has been following Larkin’s story through the news and the extensive social media campaign the family used to raise awareness about bone marrow transplants and find a match for Jake.

Through websites such as MatchJake.org, Facebook and Twitter, the family reached out for the gift of life from a stranger, said Kimberly Larkin, Jake’s mother.

The search for a positive match for Larkin was not easy; it took almost six months to find a donor.

“It took us a while to find the so called ‘needle in a haystack’ for Jake,” said David Margolis, Larkin’s doctor, in an interview with local news station TMJ4.

Since Larkin’s transplant, things have been looking up for the Larkin family, according to the MatchJake Facebook page.

Larkin was released from the Children’s Hospital on Tuesday,

Oct. 9, 20 days earlier than doctors had predicted. “He still has a long way to go before he’s out of the woods,” the latest post on the Facebook page read, “but now every day is a new opportunity to take one more step closer to an all out win!”

The fundraiser and get-well event at the 2040s seeks to support Larkin in his recovery by collecting donations, Doan said.

The money would be donated to MatchJake.org, the organization set up by the Larkins.

Doan is not the only member of the Marquette community who will be supporting Larkin on Tuesday evening. Members of the Marquette men’s basketball team will also be in attendance, Doan said. Juan Anderson, Chris Otule, and Jamil Wilson have all confirmed their attendance with Doan.

While the event will take place Tuesday evening, Doan said donations for Larkin and his family will be accepted throughout October.

“By helping one person at a time, even if the contribution is very minuscule,” Doan said, “we can make a big difference in that one person’s life.”

Oct. 18 At 6:45 p.m. two underage students were in possession of alcohol and a false ID in the 900 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. MPD was notified.

Oct. 19 At 3:19 a.m. a person not affiliated with Marquette was asleep at the wheel in a vehicle with its motor running and in traffic in the 1000 block of W.

The suspects fled without getting his property. The victim was not injured.

MPD was contacted.

At 8:18 p.m. a student walking in the 2000 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. was approached by six to eight juveniles.

High taxes bad for business Wis. has one of the highest tax rates for businesses in the US

environment of high consumer demand – businesses will invest and bear the higher taxes that pay for these public goods.”

Swank said governors and state legislatures, which set the business tax rates, are constrained by the need for tax revenue and the interests of different groups, among other factors.

Marquette associate professor of economics Andrew Hanson said higher taxes can have a variety of effects on businesses and consumers.

“If taxes are high, it might prevent businesses from doing some of the things that they might otherwise do – maybe hire more workers, or lower prices for consumers, maybe pay out higher profits to shareholders, maybe move into Wisconsin from other areas,” Hanson said.

“Another possibility is that the higher taxes levied on businesses are passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for goods and services, or lower wages for workers.”

Wyoming, Florida and Texas had the best tax climates, while California, New Jersey and New York had the worst.

Wyoming has no corporate or individual state tax, aiding in its high ranking. Swank said Republican-led states generally

Wisconsin has the eighthhighest taxes on businesses in the U.S., according to the 2013 State Business Tax Climate Index report released earlier this month by the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan research organization. The report indicated Wisconsin is one of the least hospitable states for businesses based on its tax rate. This ranking is unchanged from last year.

The Tax Foundation uses a combination of variables including corporate income, individual income, sales, unemployment insurance and property taxes to determine states’ rankings.

“Relatively high business taxes influence business (and) where and how much businesses invest, but it is only one of several factors,” Marquette political science professor Duane Swank said. “If a state or national government provides public goods that help business – a good infrastructure, healthy and welleducated workforce, and an

have lower business tax rates than Democratic-led states.

Of the top 10 states with the best tax climate indicated by the report, all but Nevada, Washington, and New Hampshire are traditionally Republican states.

The business tax rates may make the job search more difficult for Marquette students following graduation.

“Marquette students ... have an interest in both public goods and a good economic environment for investment and jobs.

The right level of business taxes influences these two goals,” Swank said.

Hanson offered another reason students should be cognizant of the corporate tax rate. “(Marquette students) are concerned with what businesses do when they are subject to higher taxes – that the incentive effects might be large, or that the taxes may be passed down to them in the ways I mentioned above,” Hanson said. “While students do not directly pay a corporate income tax if they do not own a corporation, they may indirectly pay them by having fewer jobs available, or jobs with lower wages, or pay higher prices for the goods and services they want to consume.”

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele’s proposed 2013 budget would allocate only $39,600 for equipment repairs for the Milwaukee Public Museum’s heating and cooling system, leaving millions of dollars in damages unfixed.

Other repairs needed in the museum, located at 800 W. Wells St., include leaky windows and loading docks. Michael Bernatz, chief financial officer for the museum, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel these are just some of the repairs needed for the museum. All repairs are estimated to cost $30 million.

In previous years, the county has provided the museum with $3.5 million toward annual operating expenses, according to an Oct. 16 article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The article also reported that museum officials are working on renegotiating the museum’s 10-year deal with the county, which expires in four years.

Bernatz told the Journal Sentinel the museum has focused on the most pressing and major repairs in order to accommodate the new budget.

Bernatz declined to comment on the matter when contacted by the Tribune.

The Milwaukee Art Museum, located at 700 N. Art Museum Dr., and other organizations are also in need of county funds for renovations.

The War Memorial Center, which shares its space with the Milwaukee Art Museum and other veterans groups, is reviewing a five-year improvement plan. The center, located at 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr., “needs

rehabilitation and repairs due to long-deferred maintenance,” according to the Milwaukee Art Museum’s website.

According to the website, “Milwaukee County’s 2011 audit of the War Memorial Center and museum concluded that the facility’s state of disrepair reflects poorly on the intent to honor veterans.”

The Milwaukee Art Museum has agreed to spend $15 million for renovations to cover some of the costs of the maintenance for the 1957 War Memorial, designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, and its 1975 addition, the Kahler building, which houses a collection of more than 600 modern, American and European works of art, according to the Journal Sentinel article.

Abele’s budget includes $9.2 million for repairs to the Milwaukee Art Museum. These funds would be used to rebuild the outside stairway, replace a rubber roof membrane and make other improvements, according to the article.

However, this funding still leaves a need of $900,000 for repairs.

Jim Schmitt, the supervisor for Milwaukee County’s sixth district, said the budget pits the Milwaukee Public Museum against the Milwaukee Art Museum for the county’s scarce funds.

“They both have these big ticket items that need to be dealt with,” he said.

Schmitt said the amount of renovations greatly exceeds the county’s funds.

“The requests are triple what we have available,” he said. “It’s unrealistic ... to think we can get it all done with what little we have.”

Although negotiations are in progress, Schmitt said it is hard to make any promises.

“It’s hard making long-term promises that we can fulfill all these obligations,” he said. “We have a five-year plan, but we have to be fair.”

No race too long for ultramarathoner Carolyn Smith Director of Student Health Service former national champion

By Eric Oliver

eric.oliver@marquette.edu

Only 0.5 percent of the U.S. population can say they’ve run a marathon, or 26.2 miles. Carolyn Smith, director of Student Health Service, has run more than 130 miles in a single race.

Smith, 47, started running at 13, and since then has run every sort of distance ranging from a simple mile to the 24-hour run.

“I ran competitively in high school and college,” Smith said.

“Post-collegiately I ran marathons and participated in the U.S. Olympic Marathon trials in 1988. I had always been intrigued by ultramarathons after crewing for a few events.”

She ran her first ultramarathon, the 50-mile Ice Age Trail race in LaGrange, Wis., in 2002.

Smith said the book, “To the Edge: A Man, Death Valley, and the Mystery of Endurance,” inspired her to run the Badwater 135 Ultramarathon. In 2002, she accomplished her goal and completed the Badwater 135, a race which spans the deserts of Death Valley, Cal. to Mt. Whitney, Cal. She is a former 24-hour and 100 km (about 62 miles) national champion. She has represented the U.S. national team on two 24-hour teams in 2005 and 2007 and is a five time 100 km national team member.

Smith also placed first overall for the women’s division in the Fall 50, a 50-mile run in Door County, with a time of 6:33:15 this year.

“I will continue to run as long as it is fun,” Smith said. “When

I no longer find it gratifying, I likely will gravitate to something else. I hope to remain competitive on the world stage, continue to set age-group records, and participate in events such as the Leadville 100 and the Comarades Ultramarathon.”

Another race Smith would still like to complete is the TransAmerica Run, a multi-day event starting in Washington state and ending in Delaware.

Smith said every race presents an opportunity to celebrate the success of her hard work and commitment.

“Ultrarunning provides the opportunity to explore new territory mentally and physically,” Smith said. “Like many ultrarunners before me, I possess an inner drive to push into the unknown, and I find fulfillment when testing my limits.”

Smith said to be able to run these long distances, one has to set realistic goals and systematically train.

“Most runners get injured, and as a result subsequently give up the sport, because of training mistakes – running too much, too fast,” Smith said.

Markus Roeders, coach of the women’s soccer team, frequently asks Smith to speak to his team.

“She is among the very best in the world,” Roeders said.

“When you have somebody like that you can draw from, you do it. I think every time you listen to her and talk to her and put in perspective from her running, you’re a little bit in awe because she is so exceptional in what she is able to do.”

Roeders said Smith is a truly exceptional athlete.

“You’re talking about somebody who is running about 100 miles, 50 miles, 24-hour races in a circle running for six hours

straight. It’s almost like it is another level,” Roeders said. “Not many people are able to obtain that.”

Smith is currently training for her next 100k national championship in five months.

Roeders is hoping that he can

take his team to cheer her on.

“If I have the time and I can be there, I will be her biggest supporter,” Roeders said.

Smith also recently co-authored a book titled “Running for Women,” a book that serves as a

comprehensive resource explaining what makes female runners unique and how the differences in gender affect training, performance, health and wellness.

Files of alleged Boy Scout sex abuse made public Release of documents has lawyers calling for investigation of org.

David Crary & Rebecca Boone Associated Press True to their motto, the Boys Scouts tried to be prepared.

For months, they braced for the backlash sure to follow the court-ordered release of voluminous confidential files detailing decades of alleged sex abuse by Scout leaders.

Now the files are public, lawyers are calling for a congressional investigation and the Boy Scouts of America — as so often in recent years — finds itself embattled.

The files released last week are old — dating from 1959 to 1985.

Many of the alleged abusers listed in the files may well be dead. And the Scouts, while apologizing for past mistakes, have significantly improved their youth protection program in recent years.

Still, release of 14,500 pages on alleged abusers is an unwelcome development for an organization struggling to halt a decades-long membership drop while incurring relentless criticism for its policy of excluding gays.

“It does pose a challenge for the Scouts, whether they’re going to be able to win back the confidence of the public,” said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the

University of New Hampshire.

“I’m sure for some period of time, there’s going to be a concern.”

Before the files’ release, the Scouts commissioned an internal review by a University of Virginia psychiatrist, Dr. Janet Warren, who tallied more than 1,600 abuse victims in her review of the confidential records. She described the rate of abuse with the Scouts as “very low” compared to the national rate, and suggested boys were safer in the Scouts than elsewhere in their communities.

Since the files were released — the consequence of a successful $20 million lawsuit against the Scouts in Portland, Ore. — the BSA has apologized for not following up on some of the allegations that were documented. It also has stressed the strides made by the organization to improve its youth protection policy.

Among other measures, the Scouts now prohibit one-on-one adult-youth activities, mandate criminal background checks for all staff who work with youth and include an insert for parents about child protection in the handbook issued to new scouts.

All adult volunteers must take child-protection training and also are directed to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement authorities and Scout leaders, even if this would not be required by state law.

However, the Scouts say they don’t have data to document trends regarding abuse within their ranks,

a source of frustration to experts who’d like to track the impact of the new policies. The two lead lawyers in the Portland lawsuit — Kelly Clark and Paul Mones — note that the Scouts are a congressionally chartered organization and are now asking Congress to investigate the effectiveness of the child protection program.

Wayne Perry, the Scouts’ national president, said he’d welcome any inquiry.

“We’ll be there,” he said Monday. “We’ll talk about where we fell short in the past and where we are today and how important it is to protect kids.”

Many people posting their views on social media questioned the Scouts’ recently reaffirmed policy of excluding gays while seemingly shielding child abusers in their midst.

“It’s a double whammy for the Boy Scouts right now because they’re already under the gun because of the gay issue,” said Thomas Plante, a professor at Santa Clara University who researched the Roman Catholic Church’s clergy sex abuse scandal.

He noted that both the Scouts and Catholic hierarchy had disapproving policies toward homosexuality, yet failed to grapple forthrightly with sex abuse.

“That contradiction, that hypocrisy, creates that much more of a story,” Plante said.

But the Scouts have legions of staunchly loyal supporters, including several of the nation’s

major conservative religious denominations who have given no sign of disaffection. The Mormons’ Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints charters more than 37,000 Scout troops with a youth membership of more than 420,000; Roman Catholic parishes charter about 8,500 units with about 283,000 members.

Some in the Scouts’ extended family — the moms, dads and kids that trek to troop meetings every week, pack up for camp-outs every summer, spend their weekends practicing knot-tying and fire building and flag folding — were quick to rally in support.

Ken Miller, a first-year assistant scoutmaster with Troop 1085 in the Detroit suburb of Berklee, Mich., said he remains a firm believer in the Scouts’ mission even after reading about the files.

“With the latest media accounts, I think it’s going to have an effect of scaring some people off,” Miller said. “But in the long run, I think this will all be a benefit because scouting has been under such scrutiny, and the organization has made changes designed to prevent this from happening again.”

Patrick Boyle, a journalist who in the early 1990s was among the first to expose efforts by the BSA to hide the extent of sex abuse among Scout leaders, said the files will serve as a valuable tool for other youth groups.

“You have to be blind not to see the patterns of abuse in scouting when you read these files,”

Boyle said. “If you ran an afterschool program, a sports league, a YMCA, you should look at these to see how abusers get access to these organizations, how they get access to abuse kids.”

Indeed, most major youth groups, over the past decade or two, have already instituted protection policies similar to those adopted by the Scouts.

Even as they make collective strides against abuse, many youth groups share with the Scouts the problem of declining membership as sports leagues, academic pressures and the lure of video games divert boys to other afterschool pastimes.

The Scouts’ membership peaked in 1972 at more than 6 million boys and adult leaders.

Now there are 2.7 million Scouts and 1.1 million adults.

Many of the Scouts’ critics contend that the organization could boost its membership, and garner good will, by ending its ban on gays and atheists.

But Perry, a Mormon who took over as BSA national president this year, contended that neither the membership policy nor the reports of past sex abuse were the main factors behind the dwindling Scout numbers.

“Our impediment to growth is that the average young male spends 43 hours a week on electronic media,” he said. “Our problem is the high quality of video games, and our job is to compete in that kind of space.”

Shooting: Police continue investigation, say community can feel safe her car in tomato juice. Once authorties arrived to Haughton’s home, there was a 90 minute stand off with police before it was ended in a manner law enforement described as “peaceful.”

According to the Waukesha County medical examiner’s office, Zina Haughton, 42; Maelyn Lind, 38; and Cary Robuck, 35, were the three victims killed in the shooting. The four wounded victims remain unidentified at this time. Three are declared to be in satisfactory condition, while one is in critical condition.

Chief Daniel Tushaus of the Brookfield Police Department held a press conference Sunday and explained that they will continue to search part of the 9,000 square-foot-salon, despite Haughton being found dead in the salon Sunday afternoon.

Law enforcement found an object they initially believed could be an improvised explosive.

However, after the Milwaukee County Bomb Squad came to assist at the scene, authorities learned it was a 1-pound propane tank. The Brookfield Police Department and Tushaus held another press conference later in the day stating law enforcement believes the incident was a domestic violence incident.

“We are not seeking any additional suspects,” Tushaus said.

“Our community can feel safe.

It could take days, weeks to figure this all out. A very large crime scene, a very confused crime scene.”

In the later press conference, Tushaus also explained the scene when law enforcement first arrived.

“They encountered smoke in the building,” Tushaus said. “A small fire had apparently taken place upon our arrival in a hallway. We believe the fire was started by the suspect.”

Brookfield Chief of Police Dan Tushaus speaks with reporters in Brookfield, Wis., Sunday, the day of the shooting that killed four and injured four more.

family still resides there. She sometimes gets her hair and nails done at the salon and spa where the shooting took place, she said Monday.

“For this to happen in Brookfield is very rare,” Hacker said.

“We’re a small, wealthy suburban town. Azana Spa is a very high-end salon, two stories, and for a guy to come in and start shooting is the saddest thing I’ve heard. This scares me so much.

Mothers, daughters, friends all go to a salon for a relaxing time.

One would never expect to get injured, let alone killed. I never want anything like this to hit so close to home, or anyone else’s home, ever again.”

The Azana Salon and Spa released a statement on its website detailing its gratitude for the support the employees there have received as well as the pain they are experiencing.

“Thank you to everyone in the community for your outpouring of love and support,” the statement read. “We are devastated by this tragedy and remain in shock over how this could have happened. We will continue to update you as we have more details. In the meantime, please keep the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers.”

The shooting comes just 10

weeks after the tragedy at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek. The temple, located about 20 miles from the spa, held a vigil Sunday night to show its support for the victims. The spa shooting also took place less than a mile from the site where seven people were killed at a religious service in March 2005 at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield.

Debate: Candidates adopt civil tone after last week’s showdown out. He has the foreign policy experience we expect, and he knows what it takes to deal with foreign allies.”

Unlike Obama, Romney took a more temperate tone. He accused the president of being weak on foreign policy and said Obama repeatedly apologized for the country abroad, which the president strongly denied.

Romney said Obama failed to stand up for American ideals abroad, specifically during the Arab Spring.

“We have to stand by our principles,” Romney said. “But unfortunately, nowhere in the world is America’s influence greater today than it was four years ago.”

Marquette College of Arts & Sciences junior and Marquette College Republicans member Sam Draver said President Obama seemed more interested in ripping on Romney rather than articulating his points.

“Romney showed a lot more appeal to independents, and Obama focused his attention more on Romney rather than saying how he would solve the problems facing the country,”

Draver said. “The debate shows that Obama focuses too much on showing what Romney can’t do rather than focusing on what he could do as president for four more years.”

Despite the hostile nature of the debate and the divergent approaches of Obama and Romney, on many issues, including the use of predator drones in Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan — which both men endorsed — the two were largely in agreement.

Most of their sharpest exchanges involved domestic policy, with the two restating many of the positions they took in their first two debates.

Monday’s debate was the last chance for voters to see the two candidates discussing policy in an unscripted exchange. It was also the last chance the candidates had to appeal to undecided voters and motivate their supporters to turn out for the Nov. 6 election.

Moderator Bob Schieffer closed the debate on a pleasant note, saying “I leave you with the words of my mom who said, ‘go vote. It makes you feel big and strong.’”

Romney and Obama agreed on more issues than in previous debates, mostly disagreeing on domestic policy.

Bronze Cross: Martin second MU student to receive military honor military science and leadership Army ROTC, said Marquette Army ROTC cadet Kevin Bubolz was chosen for the same award last year.

“The fact that two MU cadets, and students, receive this highly competitive award back to back is representative of the high standard of academic achievement and leadership demonstrated by all Marquette students,” Haraldsen said.

The Legion of Valor was first presented April 23, 1890, in Washington, D.C., by a group of Civil War and Indian War Campaign veterans who were recipients of the Medal of Honor. Since then, the awards have spread to ROTC students nationally for recognition of achievement, service, heroism and more.

As the battalion executive officer, Martin is in charge of the midshipman staff and oversees all NROTC battalion activities.

All Navy ROTC students attend physical training sessions

two times a week, beginning at 6 a.m. Martin is also heavily involved in the Marquette Women’s Club National Championship basketball team and NROTC basketball team.

Martin said ROTC allowed her to receive a great education and has seemed to be the right fit. She said ROTC has afforded her many leadership opportunities most other college students do not experience and has provided a solid support system.

“I wanted to serve my country but at the same time wanted a somewhat normal college experience,” Martin said.

Upon graduation, Martin will go into the Navy and hopes to serve on a submarine. She said the honor of her award will follow into her future.

“This award will help me to always strive to live up to the standards that the exemplary members of the Legion of Valor have set and continue to improve myself,” Martin said.

Courtney Martin, senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, was awarded the Bronze Cross Oct. 11, 2012.

Presidential election may determine Senate control Outside groups drive rising congressional campaign spending

By Alan Fram Associated Press The party that runs the Senate next year may be decided by how well President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney do in toss-up states like Nevada, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, where ballots feature parallel Senate races about as tight as the presidential contest.

The mammoth campaign organizations built by Obama and Romney, his Republican challenger, are focusing their voter registration and turnout efforts in those four states and a handful of other presidentialbattlegrounds. Congressional candidates there are latching onto the help that can come from the larger, better-funded presidential campaigns.

In Nevada, Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley is hoping to buttress her challenge to Republican Sen. Dean Heller with the Obama campaign’s efforts to register Hispanic voters. In Virginia, the GOP has operated 29 offices across the state combining the operations of Romney, Senate candidate George Allen and House candidates.

Democrats control the Senate 53-47, including two independents who vote with them. Of the 33 seats up for grabs on Election Day, a dozen are considered com-

petitive, largely in the West and Midwest. Republicans need a net pickup of four seats to take control if Obama is re-elected, three if Romney wins.

Both sides are measuring the impact of the presidential race at a time when spending on congressional races — especially by outside groups — is mushrooming.

In the House, Democrats have been hoping that a strong Election Day performance by Obama could lift their candidates, especially in states he is expected to win easily like New York, Illinois and California. They may make some gains but seem unlikely to pick up 25 seats they need to wrest House control from the GOP. Only about 60 seats are considered competitive in the 435-member House.

“There’s no question we pick up seats in direct correlation to the president’s coattails,” said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., who heads the House Democratic campaign organization.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., deputy chairman of the House GOP’s political operation, concedes that a strong Obama showing would likeliest strengthen the Democratic vote in urban areas, where Republicans have few seats anyway. Republicans hope to limit Democratic pickups by winning seats of their own in North Carolina, Arkansas, Indiana and even Massachusetts.

“It helps us if Romney is doing better,” especially in rural and

suburban areas where many GOP lawmakers come from, Walden said. “And Governor Romney is doing much better” than he was earlier in the campaign, said Walden.

In Ohio, Republican challenger Josh Mandel is hoping for a late surge by Romney that might also lift him past Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. Polls show Brown, who has a liberal pro-labor voting record, consistently leading Mandel and doing better in the state than Obama, whose advantage in the pivotal state has narrowed.

On Friday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reported spending $2.3 million for TV and radio ads to help Mandel, making Brown one of the business lobby’s top targets.

“If Romney could keep it close, Mandel’s going to be in the Senate,” said Scott Reed, a top political strategist for the chamber.

In a debate last week, Mandel hammered his rival for supporting Obama’s health care overhaul and for driving up the national debt with efforts such as the federal auto rescue. Brown made no apologies, ticking off benefits he said each law brought to average Ohioans.

“I’m proud of that because now more than a million Ohio seniors now get free checkups,” he said of his support for the health care law.

of the two Senate rivals. Republican George Allen and Democrat Tim Kaine are former recent governors, and the $20 million the two have combined to spend so far makes their contest one of the nation’s most expensive, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

“Headwinds will largely come from the presidential, but because name identification is so high for both Governor Allen and Governor Kaine, these races will be nearly mirroring each other,” said Pete Snyder, chairman of the GOP’s coordinated presidential and congressional campaigns in the state.

Ticket-splitting is as much a factor in some Senate races as coattails. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is heading toward reelection in West Virginia and there are tight Senate races in Arizona, Indiana and North Dakota, though Romney seems certain to win all four states.

Obama is sure to win Connecticut, yet professional wrestling magnate Linda McMahon, a Republican, is running a wellfinanced and strong race against Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy for the seat being vacated by independent Sen. Joe Lieberman.

The presidential contest is also providing plenty of fodder for congressional campaigns — and not just in the frequent attacks that Republicans make on Obama and Democrats launch against Romney.

In a play for moderate Virginia voters, Kaine uses one TV spot to position himself between Allen and Obama. The ad states Obama’s preference to block a renewal of decade-old tax cuts on income exceeding $250,000, and Allen’s insistence — shared by most Republicans — on extending the reductions for all.

“There’s a middle ground. Let the tax cuts expire for those earning over $500,000,” Kaine tells the camera, calling it “the fiscally responsible thing to do.”

In an Indiana ad, Senate Democratic hopeful Rep. Joe Donnelly attacks his GOP rival, tea party favorite Richard Mourdock, using presidential debate footage of

Romney saying he got little done as Massachusetts governor “by saying it’s my way or the highway.” Mourdock “is all about my way or the highway,” the ad says.

And in a Wisconsin Senate debate last week, GOP candidate Tommy Thompson distanced himself from the House-passed budget written by Rep. Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential candidate. His rival, Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin, repeatedly linked him to the blueprint that she argued would raise taxes on the middle class.

“You’re absolutely wrong,” Thompson told Baldwin. “I have a plan completely different from Paul Ryan.”

Meanwhile, spending has continued to accelerate on congressional races by both political parties and outside groups, including Crossroads GPS backed by former White House GOP strategist Karl Rove and unions such as the SEIU. According to the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation, which monitors campaign spending, outside groups have spent $161 million since June 1 on House races and $156 million on Senate races, with Republicans benefiting from a modest advantage.

But that spending has accelerated in recent days, especially on the GOP side, the foundation found.

In the week ending last Friday, groups have spent $13 million to help House Democratic candidates and $22 million for House Republicans. Senate Democratic hopefuls have benefited from $6 million, Senate Republicans from $10 million.

In one instance, an obscure conservative group, the Government Integrity Fund Action Network, spent $1.1 million for an ad attacking Democrat Elizabeth Esty, who is seeking an open House seat in Connecticut. That is a huge expenditure for a House race.

The Senate Democratic campaign committee spent $1.6 million to advertise against Allen in Virginia.

Be part of something bigger than yourself i never realized how time allotment for presidential debates was such a pressing national issue.

Caroline Campbell Illustration by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu

In two weeks, voters will head to the polls to cast their ballots. Just 14 days from now, the attack ads and campaign phone calls will cease, and normal life will resume.

Because let’s face it: after the election, the majority of the political bantering and bickering filling your social media feeds and classroom conversations will stop. Maybe not immediately, but it will begin to dwindle significantly. People’s attacks against each other’s political beliefs will likely also become less frequent … at least for another four years.

As we all know, this election has been filled with animosity, possibly even more than those in the past. Looking back at this year’s presidential debates, it’s fair to say both candidates have displayed a total lack of respect for the debate moderators and each other.

Here we have two men competing for the leadership of the free world. They have issues like war, the economy and the future of our nation in front of them, and yet they argue like petty children about how much time they’ll be given to speak.

Not only was the discourse between President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney somewhat uncivil, so were their physical actions. The candidates were moving uncomfortably close to one another, especially during the second debate.

These two men were supposed to show how they respond to people, but they spent a lot of time talking over, pointing at and attacking each other instead. The candidates’ proximity and hostility made the second debate historic. Never before had a town hall debate been so confrontational.

We think all of this hostility really defines

the political nature of the election this year.

There’s a lot at stake for both political parties.

But the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, held during every presidential election season since 1945 and most recently last Thursday, made it seem like all of this animosity never existed. In a campaign notable for the contempt candidates hold for each other, the dinner allowed Romney and Obama to be more civil toward each other; they were even on the verge of being friendly. Smiling and making jokes (sometimes at the other’s expense), the two looked like completely different candidates from the ones we’ve seen in the debates.

“In our country, you can oppose someone in politics and make a confident case against their policies without any ill will,” Romney said in his speech to the dinner guests. “And that’s how it is for me.

There is more to life than politics.”

We agree. Surely people can disagree politically, and it doesn’t have to become a matter of life and death.

By no means do we condone the lack of respect and yelling by the candidates, but if it does one thing, it shows that politicians are people, too. We sometimes forget that.

Sure, most people don’t walk around with security guards or have their own planes to fly wherever they want, but they do get upset and are (hopefully) very passionate about the issues that are important to them.

Every four years, voters tend to wind up in the same hostile battle of politics that the politicians are fighting themselves. That’s because all people, no matter who they are, can – and probably will – disagree.

“I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.” — Toni Morrison The fact that you were able to read that quote means you are one of the powerful people Morrison was talking about. The fact that you have enough of an education to read is an amazing thing. Even more than just the ability to read, if you are reading this, you either picked up a print copy of the newspaper, which means you spend time on a university campus; or you are reading online, which means you have access to a computer. Both of these things give you amazing power.

And of course, with great power comes great responsibility. The Jesuits tell us to be “women and men for others,” but have you stopped to think about what that really means? What about “be the difference”?

These phrases may seem like lofty catchphrases, but both of them mean something very important. To live these phrases does not mean getting up early once a semester with your club or residence hall or fraternity to do service in the community, though that is certainly part of it. It does not necessarily mean you need to join a religious order, though that also can certainly be part of it.

Being a person for others is not about what you do, but it is about how and why you choose to do anything. Because the world’s human race has evolved into societies, we are all part of something bigger than ourselves. Everything each individual does has consequences for others and implications for society. And, as educated and empowered members of that society, we have a responsibility – to better it.

You can choose to live your life in a way that does not take others into consideration. You can choose to make career decisions, voting decisions and daily decisions that serve only your self-interest, but these too have consequences.

For those studying things such as nursing, social welfare and justice, education or many other service-related professions, it is easy to see how their actions affect the rest of society. But for those studying business, advertising, marketing and other similar fields, the effect their work can have on society should be just as clear.

If the CEO of a powerful company makes personal and business decisions that do not take others into consideration, she is setting an example for her employees, clients and anyone who might read about her actions in the news. But if she makes the decision to help others daily, to be kind to others, that sets a different example. If her company provides a healthy environment for its employees and makes forward-thinking decisions about how their work will impact society, organizes service opportunities for employees and the surrounding community and donates money to philanthropic causes, think of the difference those decisions could make. It’s a much more positive difference than if the company overworked its employees, underpaid them and made decisions only to increase the profits for those at the very top.

What if all companies acted only in their own self-interest?

What if all governments didn’t help their struggling citizens?

What if all teachers only taught the brightest students in their class?

What kind of world would that be?

Whether we think about it or not, we are always being women and men for others, and we are always making a difference.

But it is up to each individual whether that difference is a negative or positive one.

You are lucky. You have education. You have the ability not only to make a career for yourself, but to make sure that your career and the work you do make a difference for others and benefit not only you, but society as a whole. You are fortunate, and it is your responsibility to give fortune to someone who does not have it.

Expand your musical horizon beyond Top 40

Costumes, creatures and creativity

By Brooke Goodman

By Tony Manno

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m kind of a music snob. I almost hyperventilated when Bon Iver was called a “new artist” at The Grammys earlier this year, and I tend to not recognize negative social cues when talking about my past concert experiences.

I’m proud (and slightly shocked) to say I’ve refrained from writing about music this long. I don’t think I can keep myself from it anymore, though. This past weekend was too inspiring.

Last Saturday I saw Regina Spektor at The Riverside Theater with my mom and sister. Regina is by far my favorite solo artist – she’s quirky, insanely talented and writes beautiful music. She’s so adorable on stage that it took all I had to keep from running up there and begging her to be my best friend.

I found myself in a Halloween store over break to kill time before “Argo” – one of those converted FedEx/Kinkos with a generic name like “Halloween City.” I was with a buddy of mine, perusing overpriced vampire-baby decs and rubber masks that prevent proper breathing, when we started talking about Halloween and what kind of holiday it has become.

Unlike regular holidays – Christmas, Hanukkah, even New Years – Halloween embraces demonry and otherwise cruel tidings to provide kids with candy. It’s all very confusing, really. I once showed up at Thanksgiving dressed like a zombie, and my uncle wouldn’t let me near the turkey the rest of the night.

That didn’t happen, but I think it should be acceptable. Why has our culture accepted this madness only on Halloween?

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Perfect night from start to finish for seniors

Marquette celebrates Senior Night with 4-0 win over South Fla.

By Michael LoCicero

michael.locicero@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s soccer team closed out its regular season the only way it knows how: with a win.

Saturday night’s 4-0 victory over South Florida on Senior Night marked the second time in three seasons the Golden Eagles have gone unbeaten in Big East play, finishing the 9-0-1.

Over those three campaigns, Marquette is 30-1-1 in Big East play.

“After a while tonight, we started breaking them down,” coach Markus Roeders said. “We had to grind it out in the beginning and once we started to play, we scored goals.”

It was the final regular season home game for six seniors, but it was by no means the end of the road at Valley Fields for the Golden Eagles.

Marquette had already guaranteed it would host a Big East quarterfinal matchup Sunday and play either Connecticut or Rutgers in Milwaukee. There is also a good chance the team will host an NCAA Tournament game for the third straight season two weeks from now.

The Golden Eagles had also clinched their fourth straight American Division championship last weekend.

It would have been easy for Marquette to sit on cruise control and rest some of its starters with nothing to play for, but there was no sign of a let down after the first 15 minutes of play.

“I thought once we got a feel for the game, we started breaking them down and things started happening,” Roeders said.

“Once we put a goal on them, it kind of put them on their heels a little bit.”

Senior forward Lisa Philbin scored a goal and described the game as “a special feeling and one that I’m not sure I’ll ever have again.”

“It was so incredible from the minute we walked into the locker room,” Philbin said. “It was such an adrenaline rush as a senior, and once we got a few goals, it all kept flowing.”

It was win No. 250 for Roeders and associate head coach Frank Pelaez at Marquette and the ninth shut out in 10 matches for the Golden Eagles.

The combination of a highpowered offense and lockdown defense has Marquette in top gear heading toward the postseason.

“We came out ready to play, and this is a great point to build on and keep moving,” senior midfielder Rachel Brown said. “It’s the closing of this chapter and the

Senior midfielder Lisa Philbin said scoring a goal in the Senior Night win was a special and memorable moment.

opening of the next.”

All six seniors started the game, including midfielder Sam Vicker, who hasn’t had a chance to see much game action in her career.

“They’re an incredible group of women and the hardest-working group of women we’ve had,” Roeders said. “At the end of the day, they are very much team players.

MEN’S SOCCER

“They’re individuals, but they’re a group of six, and within that you take them as kind of a nucleus of what this team is and should be representing.”

Many of the players on the team said winning the Big East Tournament, a feat the team has not yet accomplished, would be a main goal coming into this season.

Now that the regular season is over, the team’s mindset is to make sure it takes games one at a time.

“We’re only guaranteed one more game, but hopefully there are a lot more beyond that,” Brown said.

Irish stand in the way of a title Armstrong remains Two Notre Dame an American hero matches in one week will decide MU’s fate

By Matt Trebby

matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

If coach Louis Bennett had been told in August that his team would have the chance to win the Blue Division of the Big East in the last week of the season, he would’ve taken it.

Tied for the lead in the division, playing top-10 Notre Dame twice this week — on both Wednesday night in South Bend and Saturday night at Valley Fields — makes it a bit more difficult.

“There are no really easy games in the Big East,” Bennett said.

“There are just those that are harder than others.”

The Golden Eagles’ two upcoming games against Notre Dame will fall under the category of “harder than others.”

Marquette shares the Blue Division lead with Connecticut, whom the Golden Eagles beat this season, with a 5-1-0 record. The Huskies play Providence twice this week, as Marquette does Notre Dame. The Friars are 3-9-2 overall and 1-5-0 in Big East play.

To win their second conference championship in a row, the Golden Eagles have to equal or better Connecticut’s results. Their fate is in their own hands.

“That’s the way the cookies crumbled there, and some might see it as unfortunate, especially since Notre Dame is one of the

higher-ranked teams in our division,” junior midfielder Eric Pothast said. “We’ve got to not look at it like that and use it as an opportunity to go out there and get two big wins and make some noise around the country and go for the next Big East Championship.”

Junior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka said he felt the same way.

“These are the kinds of games you love playing,” Ciesiulka said. “You get to play against

some of the best kids in the country. They’re going to be two battles for us, so it should be a good time.”

Last season, Marquette beat Notre Dame for the first time in program history, 1-0 at Valley Fields, thanks to a first half goal from sophomore Sebastian Jansson.

I still rock my Livestrong bracelet like it’s 2004. And Lance Armstrong will forever be a hero to me.

Armstrong was officially stripped of his seven Tour de France victories, the International Cycling Union (UCI) announced Monday.

According to Pat McQuaid, president of the UCI, “Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling and he deserves to be forgotten in cycling. This is a landmark day for cycling.”

Say cycling a few more times.

Armstrong may not be remembered the same way in cycling ever again, but he’ll still be remembered as a hero for current and future cancer survivors.

Armstrong will also be banned from the sport for life in what the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency calls a “massive doping program that tainted all of his greatest triumphs.”

Twenty-six people testified that Armstrong and his teams used and trafficked banned substances and routinely used blood transfusions.

But cheating in cycling is like drinking water. Everybody does it. I still refuse to believe that Armstrong ever cheated, and even if he did, wouldn’t you think about it?

Armstrong has suffered through pain just about every day of his life since he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996 and made a miraculous comeback to win cycling’s most grueling test seven times.

But in less than a week, Armstrong has lost all of his sponsorships, even though he never officially tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Oakley is the latest endorser to fall by the wayside. Trek, Giro helmets, 24-Hour Fitness, Anheuser-Busch, Nike and Johnson Health Tech have also dropped Armstrong in the last week. Armstrong even stepped down as the chair of his foundation, Livestrong.

A company spokesman from Oakley said, “Based on UCI’s decision today and the overwhelming evidence that U.S. Anti-Doping Agency presented, Oakley has severed its longstanding relationship with Lance Armstrong, effective immediately.”

I get what Oakley is saying. It wants to cover its back and avoid some bad PR by dropping Armstrong. A lot of the same companies did the same thing when See Armstrong, page 16

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Freshmen fit into young core Gebes, Kanner still adapting to climate change, playing style

By Trey Killian

robert.killian@marquette.edu

This year’s Marquette women’s tennis team is characterized by a core group of underclassmen. Its combined youth will provide a rare opportunity to remain intact for two straight years.

Freshmen Erin Gebes and Aleeza Kanner are two pieces of a squad destined to become one of the most experienced groups in the country. The duo has responded well so far to life in Wisconsin, as both players hail from very different locations and notably different climates.

Gebes, a native of Denver, was ranked number one in the state in each age group she competed in throughout her junior career. She was a three-letter winner and a three-year captain at D’evelyn High School and embraces the opportunity to play on a team at Marquette.

Gebes said the transition from the Mile High City to Milwaukee hasn’t been much of a problem despite the change in altitude.

“It hasn’t been that different,” Gebes said. “The ball goes a little faster and harder in Denver than it does here, but it’s not hard to go from Denver to Milwaukee. It’s a little harder to go from Milwaukee to Denver, though.

It gets colder here sooner than it has in Denver, but I like the cold, so I’m looking forward to the snow a lot. The one thing I don’t like as much is the wind, but I’m getting used to it.”

Kanner hails from Phoenix, where she was the top-ranked player on her Sunnydale High School team four years in a row.

She said the weather has been the only unfavorable difference so far during her Marquette experience.

“It’s a change to go from it being sunny almost every day to having it rain almost every day,” Kanner said. “I’m learning how to dress differently and layer clothes.”

Marquette made the initial contact with both players, and both were familiar with Marquette despite being from different states.

“I had heard of it through my family since many of them are from the Midwest, and I watch a lot of college basketball,” Gebes said.

Kanner has family in Madison and felt that Marquette offered

the best balance of athletic and academic programs.

Gebes and Kanner cited the coaches and other players as major factors in their decision.

Though the duo knew that living a long distance from home would be a challenge, both players felt more at home at Marquette than the other schools they visited.

“They’re so supportive,” Gebes said of her coaches. “I feel like I can go to them with any problem I might have. It’s like an extended family. Jody (Bronson) and Aniela (Neuberger) are really mother figures, which is nice to have since we’re so far away from our parents. We don’t get to go home on the weekends like most of our classmates do.”

Bronson has helped both players adapt their games accordingly to the team’s style.

“I think I’m becoming a lot more aggressive,” Gebes said.

“Jody has been getting me to use my athleticism to get to the net, so I think I’m starting to play more diverse.”

“I stand up on the baseline more now and look to come up to the net, which I didn’t do a whole lot before,” Kanner said.

Gebes and Kanner also relish the opportunity to play on such a close-knit squad for two straight seasons.

“It’s going to work in our favor,” Kanner said. “This year is going to be all about building and growing together, and we have high expectations for next year.”

THE FACTS: Marquette will take on the Fighting Irish for the second time in one week with a division title likely hanging in the balance. The Fighting Irish are currently ranked fourth in the Big East’s Blue Division behind the Golden Eagles, Huskies and Hoyas at 4-2-0 in conference play.

Notre Dame has gotten much of its offensive production from the bench as senior Ryan Finley leads the Big East with 14 goals and 31 points despite not starting a game all season. The Fighting Irish have scored 17 goals in their last four conference matchups, meaning limiting offensive chances will be a tall task for Marquette.

TRIBUNE Game of the Week

Mike Deane is known as one of Marquette’s most energetic coaches in its men’s basketball history.

As the head coach from 19941999, Deane succeeded Kevin O’Neill before making way for Tom Crean. He could be seen as a transitional coach, but Deane took Marquette to two NCAA Tournament appearances, as well as the NIT Championship game in 1995, which was won by Virginia Tech.

Deane was not out of work for long after leaving Marquette; he took over as the head coach at Lamar in 1999. He was there for four

years, but after posting a 53-63 record, he was let go.

He then went to Wagner, where he coached from 2003-2010. The Seahawks won 23 games in 200708, but after a five win season in 2009-10, Deane was relieved of his duties. While at Wagner, Deane was so energetic and in the faces of referees, he had a seat belt put on his chair on the sideline.

Now an assistant at James Madison, Deane is looking for his next chance at another head coaching job. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12:

Home-and-home: Destiny is in Marquette’s control striking the woodwork of the Marquette goal post four times.

Bennett said his team learned a big lesson from that victory: how to bend but not break.

“Like peek-a-boo boxing, we covered up, we punched when we needed to punch, and we didn’t hit them as much as they hit us, but when we did hit them, it was enough to win the game,” Bennett said.

A positive aspect of playing the Fighting Irish twice in four days is that scouting will be much easier the second time around.

Pothast thinks game action is the best way to prepare and admits he’s never had anything like this happen.

“We’ll basically know their tendencies and know what we’ve got to do,” Pothast said. “It will be something unique for the season, especially since we don’t normally see teams twice, and we don’t normally see teams twice in one week.”

Notre Dame has scored left

and right in Big East play, with 17 goals in the team’s last four conference matches. A lot of that comes from its attacking depth. Their top two point scorers, senior Ryan Finley and junior Harrison Shipp, have not started a game this season. Finley leads the Big East with 14 goals and 31 points.

Marquette will approach this game the same way they have all season, with the mindset that the next is the most important. The only difference is the next two are against the same team, and two victories could lead to another Big East championship on Saturday night, which happens to be Senior Night.

“That’d be cool doing it on Senior Night because our seniors have been so big for us this year,” Ciesiulka said. “They’ve all played really well, but we want to not focus on that Saturday game yet, and just focus on the next one.”

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Marquette knocks off Cincy for first time since ‘06

The Marquette women’s volleyball team completed a bittersweet weekend at the Al McGuire Center, sweeping the Bearcats Saturday and losing its first Big East match to Louisville Sunday.

Team drops second weekend match to No. 15 Cards in split

By Patrick Leary

patrick.leary@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s volleyball team split a pair of weekend matches at the Al McGuire Center, defeating Cincinnati Friday (25-19, 25-18, 25-23) before falling to No. 15 Louisville (2520, 17-25, 21-25, 19-25) Sunday. The Golden Eagles fell to 18-4 and 8-1 in the Big East after Sunday’s loss.

Marquette started the weekend well by sweeping the Bearcats for the first time since 2006. Marquette had lost its last six matches against Cincinnati.

“Our team was unbelievably fired up to go out and not just play

Cincinnati but beat them,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “There was definitely no such thing as a trap match here because we certainly weren’t going to overlook them and wait for Louisville to show up Sunday.”

Senior right side hitter Holly Mertens continued her solid Big East form with 18 kills. She hit .640 in the three frames. She credits her unique form for some of her success.

“It felt amazing to go out and beat Cincinnati 3-0,” Mertens said. “Since I’ve been here we haven’t beat them, and I think it’s been seven seasons since we’ve beat them, so it felt amazing.”

Mertens has stepped her game up in conference play, with double-digit kills in all nine Big East matches.

“In conference, there’s not many right side hitters that hit off of one foot,” Mertens said. “It’s something different, and they’re

not used to seeing it.”

Marquette used big runs in all three sets to sink Cincinnati. The most important one came in the third set, when the Bearcats controlled the action early, but the Golden Eagles charged back to earn the sweep.

“When you’re on service, and you can start adding up points on your opponent, it does wonders for the scoreboard,” Shymansky said. “But it really does wonders for the momentum of the match.

You really start feeling like you’re owning your opponent for a bit.”

Shymansky thought the win meant a lot for his program, since no current Marquette player had beaten Cincinnati before.

“Overall, great win for us to beat them 3-0,” Shymansky said.

“It’s been a long time coming, and it’s about time.”

The weekend took a turn for the worse on Sunday, when Marquette dropped its first Big

East match of the season to Louisville in four sets. Shymansky credited poor passing for Marquette’s struggles.

“Our passing just wasn’t good,” Shymansky said. “That was a big problem for us. Our system is so dependent on it … we have to pass the ball better.”

With a 20-14 lead in the third set, Marquette looked poised to take a 2-1 lead. But Louisville stormed back and took the set 25-21, effectively killing any momentum Marquette had left.

“The lost momentum in the third set, you could tell it just broke our stride and took the wind out of our sails,” Shymansky said. “You can’t relinquish a 20-14 lead against a team like that. They really make you pay for it.”

“We just need to clean it up a little bit,” junior libero Julie Jeziorowski said of the Louisville run. “The key thing is going to be

bouncing back from errors. There would be times when we’d make an error and we’d kind of get in our own head, and it would turn into another error and then turn into an avalanche of errors.”

Jeziorowski, who had 21 digs in the loss, said it hurt, since she felt Marquette was the superior team.

“I think that our team was the better team,” Jeziorowski said.

“The way we run system, the way we play. I knew we could’ve beaten them.”

Shymansky said the fact that his team was disappointed about the loss shows how much progress Marquette has made in his four seasons as coach.

“They are disappointed that they didn’t win that match,” Shymansky said. “We’re not interested in trying; we’re interested in winning. So we’ll take that disappointment and that hunger and get at it in practice this week.”

TRACK & FIELD

Winter is coming for MU track squad Senior runner will look to break records during indoor season

By Christopher Chavez

christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

The cross-country season has less than a month of life left until the calendar turns to indoor track for most runners. Senior long sprinter Kyle Winter has spent the last few months training for the 2012-2013 campaign with his eyes set on two school records.

Winter’s 1:19.21 time in the 600-meter run is 0.01 seconds off Marquette school record.

The 800-meter record (1:49.21) is currently held by Jon Shaffer, and Winter is less than a second off of it with a personal best of 1:50.62, for third in the Marquette record books.

“I want to be the record holder in the 600 and the 800,” Winter said. “If I can fit in a 500 in there, I would like to go after

that as well, but that’s not nearly as close on my radar.”

The 500-meter race is not run as often during the indoor season, which would provide limited chances for Winter to chase a record. His name is already in Marquette’s record books for the 400-meter dash. If he hits all three personal goals, he would have the school record in all indoor track races from the 400-meter through the 800-meter.

A lot of Winter’s preparation for the upcoming season started in the summer.

Winter lifted weights and focused on strength exercises more than he ever had in the past. As a result, his mileage was down for a few weeks but recovered once he arrived at Marquette.

From his freshman year until now, the senior remained at the same weight until he gained five pounds of muscle this year from his time in the weight room.

Winter has been training with two freshmen over the last few

months in preparation for the indoor season. Freshman Anton Rice has spent time with Winter in the weight room and on threshold runs. He said spending time with the upperclassman has helped him make the transition from high school to collegiate track and field.

“I have somebody to go off of with (Kyle),” Rice said. “Coming into college, it’s a big difference from high school track.

Having someone to guide me and keep me informed about what’s going on is a nice way to get started in college.”

Rice and all the other members of the track and field teams will be voting for captains in early November. Coach Bert Rogers has noticed Winter taking leadership among his teammates, making him a solid candidate for the title.

“There are several guys on the team who have great leadership qualities,” Rogers said. “I have seen (Winter) step up vocally and take a more active role. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he

was voted a team captain in a couple weeks.”

Rogers has been observant of Winter since his freshman year.

Winter arrived from Kettle Moraine High School and spent the first weeks adapting to the workouts’ distance and sorting out some form work. The skills were there for the coaching staff to build on.

When Winter was a freshman, Marquette scored 4.5 points at the 2009 Big East Indoor Conference Championship. Last year, Winter scored 10 points on his own to help Marquette finish with 33 points for ninth place. The development and growth of the team he has witnessed contributes to his confidence for the upcoming season.

“It has been awesome to see where this team is going and see how far we’ve come,” Winter said. “I hope we can keep that going. I want to defend my 800-meter title, and I’m sure whoever did well last year wants to do so again.”

WOMEN’S LACROSSE

Armstrong: Punishments Tough fall slate comes to close are unfair treatment of idol Black happy with team’s development over first appearances

By Kyle Doubrava

Lance Armstrong was formally stripped by the UIC of his seven Tour de France titles and has lost many of his endorsement contracts.

Tiger Woods admitted to marriage infidelities in 2009.

Oakley did say it will continue to support the Livestrong initiative, and Nike and Johnson Health Tech will do the same. A nice gesture, but why not take a risk by supporting Armstrong through thick and thin?

What Woods did was more egregious than Armstrong’s actions, and Woods still kept the support of Nike, Upper Deck, NetJets and EA Sports. Armstrong has nothing.

Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme said he “no longer considers Armstrong to be a champion from 1999 to 2005” and “wants him to pay back his prize money.”

“Over my dead body” is what Armstrong should say in response. Fellow American Floyd Landis won the event in 2006 and was later disqualified because he tested positive for syn-

thetic testosterone. Did he have to pay back his prize money? No. The 2010 race didn’t have a winner declared until February 2012 because so many people dope in this sport.

Nine riders have been disqualified from the Tour de France for doping since 2006, the first year Armstrong didn’t win the race since 1999.

“I’ve been better, but I’ve also been worse,” Armstrong said to a Livestrong charity fundraiser on Sunday.

Nobody at the UCI or USADA will ever go through what Armstrong has.

I realize I may be in the minority here with my support for Armstrong, but the memories of all of those days in the summer getting up at 6 a.m. to watch Lance pedal to another Tour victory will never go away, allegations be damned. michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Playing a well-rounded Notre Dame team was a challenge for the Marquette women’s lacrosse squad, but when the Golden Eagles battled reigning national champion Northwestern last week, the challenge rose to a whole new level.

Marquette finished its fall schedule on a busy note, visiting the Wildcats last Wednesday for a scrimmage and participating at an all-day tournament at Ohio tate on Sunday.

According to coach Meredith Black, official scores were not kept for the games because they were being treated solely as scrimmages, but she was satisfied with the improvement the team made since the first game against the Fighting Irish.

“We’ve grown so much already over the fall,” Black said.

“I thought our team fought hard.

We scored eight goals against (Northwestern), which was awesome for us. We’ve improved on a lot of things, and I think the improvement showed at the Northwestern game.”

Freshman defender Jenaye Coleman thought playing against the two-time defending national champions would be intimidating, but she was content with the performance.

“We were feeling really good about the way we were playing because we went out there, gave it our all, and everyone put out their best effort and tried their hardest,” Coleman said. “I think we did really well.”

Marquette played Virginia Tech, Ohio State and Cincinnati in Sunday’s tournament in Columbus, Ohio. Defense was a problem for the Golden Eagles in the early stages of the fall schedule, but both Black and freshman midfielder Emma Kern have seen great strides in breaking up opponents’ offensive strategies over the past few weeks.

The Marquette women’s lacrosse team has faced tough competition in its first action, but coach Merideth Black is pleased with its improvement.

right now,” Black said.

“I think we have definitely improved a lot,” Kern said. “We tend to focus a lot on hustling and controlling what we can control when we don’t have the ball.”

Being such a young team, the Golden Eagles have been looking for a leadership voice ever since practice began. The games this past week featured many players wanting to take that part, according to Coleman.

“We saw a lot of people step up who hadn’t had a chance to previously,” Coleman said. “It’s really good to see people falling into that leadership role and seeing what kind of teammates they want to be.”

Having the opportunity to practice and play together for the past seven weeks or so has allowed the players to familiarize themselves with everyone’s playing style. It has also helped with off-the-field camaraderie.

Black stressed that lacrosse is always a collective task, and the more the team plays together, the better it can become. She noted the defensive and offensive units are well-acquainted and have each established a comfort zone that will hopefully carry over into league action.

“I think the key for us specifically is playing together as a unit,” Black said. “In our sport, it’s the team effort that wins games, nothing individual.”

Marquette’s spring schedule has not yet been released, but the team will be undergoing its normal practice routine and will continue to develop on and off the field in preparation for the arduous Big East competition.

Although it is only October, Coleman is already itching for the spring to arrive.

“We don’t want to end, but we’re excited,” Coleman said.
