Before switching to Growing Power, compost was donated to Kompost Kids, another local urban farming initiative. Recently, the amount of compost donated began to exceed the amount the organization could accommodate. Mike Whittow, assistant to the vice president in the department of administration, is in charge of Marquette’s sustainability practices and one of the driving forces behind the upgraded compost program. “It starts with Sodexo employees being trained on what can and cannot be thrown into compost,” he said. “Basically, it’s just putting stuff in bins twice a week, and then Growing Power will come pick up the bins and replace them.” The improved composting initiative is one of many steps taken to increase Marquette’s environmental sustainability over the See Sustainability, page 8

A group of protesters calling for the resignation of MPD Chief Ed Flynn made its way through campus Sunday.
Marquette’s sustainability department looks to improve its carbon footprint.
Protesters against the Milwaukee Police Department gathered Sunday on Wisconsin Avenue. The group of about 50 protestors called for the resignation of Police Chief Ed Flynn in the wake of the death of Derrick Williams in Police custody in July 2011.
Protesters walked across the city to stop and protest outside the Milwaukee Courthouse. They passed by Marquette’s campus and the Bradley Center, chanting “Chief Flynn has got to go.” Aaron Maybin, sophomore in the College of Communication, saw the protesters while walking to the Bradley Center. He spoke with a woman who identified herself as Williams’ sister. “She said her brother wasn’t getting justice for his death and that nothing was being done,” Mayvin said. She was carrying a picture of Williams. The controversy over Williams’
death reignited this fall when the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel obtained the squad car surveillance video of Derrick’s arrest, and the Milwaukee County medical examiner changed his ruling from natural death to homicide. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also launched an investigation into Williams’ death and practices of the Milwaukee Police Department. According to the New York Times, a status hearing to set an inquest date for the federal investigation is scheduled for Nov. 14.
