MUSG passes insurance mandate resolution Health insurance to be required of students in 2014

By Ben Greene

benjamin.greene@marquette.edu

Marquette Student Government unanimously passed a resolution Thursday outlining recommendations on a Marquette proposal to implement a student health insurance requirement.

The resolution was passed in anticipation of a potential university-wide change to the health insurance policy that would require all students to eature have health insurance. tory Executive Director of the Student Health Service Carolyn Smith, who spoke at Thursday’s MUSG meeting, said the proposed mandate would institute a hard waiver model that would require students to provide proof of insurance in order to opt out of the university plan.

Smith said the Board of Trustees will vote on the the health insurance mandate at its semiannual meeting in December, with the implementation of the requirement expected as early as fall 2013. She said she expects the board to approve the proposal.

“I think the board recognizes that health and safety and well-

The Milwaukee County Board reversed part of County Executive Chris Abele’s budget last Wednesday, overturning 23 of the 25 budget vetoes he issued.

County property taxes will increase 1.4 percent next year to $279.3 million. Abele said in a statement that his proposed changes would have spared taxpayers $5.2 million over the next three years.

Some of the most significant rejections included

Abele’s parks policing plan and his veto against increasing county employee benefits.

“My vetoes struck a number of strong compromises with supervisors while lowering the property tax rate,” Abele said in a press release. “It’s a shame the board decided to throw that all away and continued their attack on me and taxpayers. As I’ve said all along, the board should vet my proposed budget, but the undisciplined decisions they made today are putting Milwaukee County on a dangerous fiscal path.”

Steve Taylor, second vicechairman of the Milwaukee County Board and supervisor of District 9, said he favored the majority of Abele’s vetoes See Abele, page 7

News in Brief Israel, Hamas seek ceasefire

Miller Park renovations soon

Israel and Hamas are reportedly presenting conditions for a halt to hostilities between the two, the Associated Press reported Monday.

Egyptian mediators are listening to the demands of both sides to gauge whether a ceasefire is possible.

A senior Egyptian official told the AP that Egypt’s goal in the mediation is a long-term stop to the fighting and a “lift (on) the siege of Gaza.”

Increased hostilities between the two groups began last Wednesday and have claimed 94 Palestinian lives, including 50 civilians, and injured 720. Among the Israelis, the AP reported Monday that three civilians had died from rocket fire and dozens had been injuried.

President Barack Obama has said he hopes for a resolution between the two while also standing behind Israel’s right to defend itself against Gaza rocket fire.

“If we see a further escalation of the situation in Gaza, the likelihood of us getting back on any kind of peace track that leads to a two-state solution is going to be pushed off way into the future,” he said.

Miller Park, home to the Milwaukee Brewers, will receive two renovations before the 2013 season, the Brewers announced Monday in a press release.

Renovations will be made to the Dew Deck, a seating area above the right field bleachers, and the Home Plate Lounge, located on the club level.

A 25-foot rock climbing wall will be added to the Dew Deck in the shape of a can of Mountain Dew. The wall will be available for three hours of every game and will accommodate up to four climbers.

The Home Plate Lounge will be improved with a new “Chef’s Table” counter. It will also include a new “concierge counter,” new carpeting and new furniture.

“Every year, we formally survey fans to get a better understanding of their changing tastes and preferences,” Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger said in the press release. “National surveys of fans and media consistently rate the Miller Park fan experience among the very best in all of sports, but we don’t take that for granted.”

Obama visits Myanmar President Barack Obama visited Myanmar Monday, becoming the first sitting U.S. president in history to visit the long-isolated Southeast Asian nation. Obama met with pro-democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi, a member of the nation’s parliament who was placed under house arrest for 15 years by the previous military regime. In a speech in the former capital of Yangon, Obama asked Myanmar to continue its “remarkable journey” towards democracy.

“The flickers of progress that we have seen must not be extinguished,” Obama said. “Reforms launched from the top of society must meet the aspirations of citizens who form its foundation.”

Following the visit, Obama traveled to Cambodia for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. He is expected to return to Washington in time for the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon.

Man sentenced for trick-or-treat drugs

An English man who mistakenly gave three children aged eight and under cocaine on Halloween was given a community service sentence in court on Monday.

Donald Junior Green, 23, reached into his pockets on Halloween night to give the children candy but instead pulled out a plastic bag containing eight bags of cocaine worth about 200 pounds, the equivalent of $320.

Green later searched his pockets for the drugs, instead grabbing candy, immediately forcing him to realize his mistake and sending him to wander the streets of Oldham, England to find the kids.

The father of the children, a police officer, spotted the cocaine as his children emptied

Wis. hunters kill more deer in 2012 The Department of Natural Resources issued a preliminary report Monday showing a 19 percent increase in deer kills from 2011. Hunters registered 134,772 deer on the opening weekend of the 2012 Wisconsin gun deer season.

Wisconsin also sold 614,435 licenses for the 2012 gun deer season, a 2 percent increase from 2011. The DNR also set a single-day record for license sales Friday when it sold 105, 948.

“We want to remind folks that these preliminary numbers come from a staff call-around to deer registration stations this morning,” Tom Hauge, director of the DNR wildlife management program, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Monday.

“The final opening weekend tally will likely be somewhat larger when all the registration stubs are entered into the database over the next couple of months.”

Bishops’ political speech ignites atheists’ lawsuit Madison-based group alleges Catholic clergy violated IRS tax rules

By Seamus Doyle

seamus.doyle@marquette.edu

The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court against the Internal Revenue Service Wednesday over the IRS’s alleged failure to enforce the electioneering restrictions against churches and religious organizations.

The FFRF, a Madison-based group, filed the lawsuit in the Western District of Wisconsin. So far, the largest challenges to the lawsuit have been proving that the group has received unequal treatment under the law and that there is precedent for the case.

“There is precedent for the IRS withdrawing a charitable

religious organization’s tax-preferred status due to violating the so-called electioneering prohibition of the tax laws,” said Scott Idleman, a Marquette law professor who specializes in constitutional law as well as law and religion.

Those cases are very rare, however, and are a result of IRS action on the religious organization, not the result of an outside group, such as the FFRF, making the IRS initiate some type of enforcement action.

Branch Ministries v. Rossotti, in which the religious organization Branch Ministries sued the IRS, occurred after the IRS revoked Branch Ministries’ taxexempt status as a church for placing full-page advertisements in newspapers before the 1992 presidential election.

“Because the Church has failed to establish that it was singled out for prosecution from among others who were similarly situated,

we need not examine whether the IRS was improperly motivated in undertaking this prosecution,” the brief from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said. “We find that the revocation of the Church’s taxexempt status neither violated the Constitution nor exceeded the IRS’s statutory authority.”

Three of the instances that the FFRF has most strongly protested were actions and letters from Catholic bishops to their constituents.

For instance, the Most Rev. David L. Ricken, the archbishop of Green Bay, argued against voting for individuals who go against certain tenets of Catholicism in a letter inserted in all Green Bay parish bulletins.

“Some candidates and one party have even chosen some of these as their party’s or their personal political platform,” Ricken wrote in the letter. “To vote for someone in favor of these positions means that you could be

morally ‘complicit’ with these choices which are intrinsically evil. This could put your own soul in jeopardy.”

Other examples include the Rev. Daniel Jenky, bishop of the Diocese of Peoria, Ill., who publicly argued against the Affordable Care Act, and the Rev. Robert Molino, bishop of the Diocese of Madison, who wrote out guidelines for forming a Catholic conscience in certain areas that are non-negotiable.

Despite the fact that Ricken did not endorse one individual or party, the FFRF has argued that this political activism goes against IRS tax code restrictions on a religious organization.

“Under the Internal Revenue Code, all IRC section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches and religious organizations, are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office,” the IRS Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations states.

Idleman said he is unsure, however, how the lawsuit will continue.

“Parties in federal court suits need standing, and I can’t assess whether the FFRF can show that it has standing to sue,” he said.

We find that the revocation of the Church’s taxexempt status neither violated the Constitution nor exceeded the IRS’s statutory authority.”

Marriages stayed together as economy fell apart MU professor’s study finds divorce rate fell during recession

By Melanie Lawder

melanie.lawder @marquette.edu

What’s an indicator of a healthy and improving U.S. economy?

Higher divorce rates, according to Abdur Chowdhury, a professor of economics in the College of Business Administration.

Chowdhury’s study, “Til Recession Do Us Part: Booms, Busts, and Divorce in the United States,” will be published in the journal Applied Economics Letters early next year.

According to the study, money – not hard feelings – is the main factor driving American couples’ decisions on whether to divorce during economic hardship. The study shows that American couples are less likely to divorce during a recession because of divorce’s expensive nature and financial disadvantages.

The study, which looked at divorce rates in 45 states between 1978 and 2009, focused on the

Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 and found that high unemployment and economic uncertainty will prevent a couple from divorcing “irrespective of the quality of the marriage.” Consistent divorce data for California, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine and Minnesota was not available.

“Recession tends to strengthen marriage,” Chowdhury said in an email. “Economic downturn forced many couples to redouble efforts to save their marriages.”

In his study, Chowdhury suggests that a possible reason for refraining from divorce during a recession is the “new appreciation for the economic and social support that marriage can provide during tough times.”

During the height of the Great Recession in 2008, divorce rates in the U.S. fell to 16.9 per 1,000 married women. In 2007, the divorce rate was 17.5 per 1,000 married women after rising significantly from 16.4 divorces per 1,000 married women in 2005.

According to a study done by the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, 29 percent of Americans aged 18 to 45 believe the recession has deepened their commitment to

marriage. The study also found that among those couples considering divorce before the recession, 38 percent decided to put those plans on hold.

However, the study also shows that a couple’s decision to refrain from divorce during economic hardship is not always a permanent one. In 2009, as the economy began to slowly recover, the “pent-up demand” for divorce during the recession was released and rates began to increase again.

“Divorce is pro-cyclical,” Chowdhury said. “(That) means that divorce and the economic cycle move in the same direction – when the economy is doing badly, divorce rate drops, and

when the economy improves, divorce rate increases.”

Couples were found to be more likely to benefit fiscally if they waited for the economy to improve before seeking a divorce. Due to a decline in the housing market during the recession, property values decreased and marital assets were subsequently worth less than in previous years. Normally, divorcing couples use the return from these assets to go their separate ways, but a substantial drop in home prices meant there was not always enough money to support two separate households after the sale of one home.

Chowdhury said he expects divorce rates to rise slightly next

year due to the slowly growing economy.

Claire Beyer, a junior in the College of Communication, said it makes sense that legal expenses would deter couples from proceeding with a divorce in a recession. She said she is surprised, however, that a more mobile, improving economy would result in an increase in the divorce rate.

“I think the study makes sense that divorce rates would be lower when the economy is in recession,” Beyer said. “But, I think it’s interesting – wouldn’t people with less financial hardships and stress be happier and less likely to get divorced?”

Green Party candidate hopes he can bring change Dedering ran to present challenges to Hulsey, party system

By Joe Kaiser

joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu

As the election is now two weeks passed, most stories out of Madison are focusing on the Republican control of both houses in the state legislature, with some focus on Rep. Robin Vos (R) being elected speaker of the assembly and Rep. Brett Hulsey (D) nominating himself as minority leader, despite Peter Barca (D) retaining that position.

Someone who is missing from the headlines is Jonathan Dedering, a 26-year-old Madison political organizer and activist who challenged Hulsey in the 78th Assembly district race and gained 24.3 percent of the vote. Dedering may have lost as a distant second, but his result was a huge step forward for the Green Party.

“I think that the Green Party better represents the positions that we should begin to adopt moving forward in this century,” Dedering said. “The Democratic Party is no different from the Republicans in their corruption and, more or less, they operate to disguise each other.”

Though relatively young, Dedering has been involved in progressive causes since high school, rallying against things such as the Patriot Act and the war in Iraq while fighting for same-sex marriage and environmental protection.

As he was building up a resume with the left-leaning community by organizing with groups like Students for a Democratic Society, the Campus Antiwar Network

and the Autonomous Solidarity Organization, he never fell in love with the Democratic Party’s platform, citing what he called its inability to keep up with the progressive movement.

“Generally, the Democrats tend to lack in the timeliness of updating their platform,” Dedering said. “For example, until earlier this year Democrats had not officially supported same-sex marriage rights.”

“Two major issues I would like to see the Democrats take more seriously are GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) regulations and the development of major solar infrastructure,” he continued.

“I also believe that we should legalize hemp production to stimulate manufacturing of the countless consumer products that it is regularly used for.”

Dedering said that even though he did not win the race or come close to making Hulsey sweat on election night, the portion of the vote he received is still significant. Only Libertarians Terry Gray in the 48th Assembly District and Melba-Morris Page in the 18th Assembly District, and Independent Anthony Edwards in the 3rd Assembly District, also received double-digit support as third parties in Wisconsin, but none matched Dedering’s total or even eclipsed 20 percent in their respective races.

“I am happy with the showing,” Dedering said. “I plan to run again in 2014 with a campaign strategy that will garner more early support and better endorsements. I now have funds set aside for an early start in 2014, which was not the case in this race.”

“In the meantime, I’ll be managing another progressive candidate’s aldermanic campaign and may also be directing a PAC to defeat Gov. Walker in 2014.”

The Greens had no candidate running against Scott Walker for governor in 2010, and their history in Wisconsin has shown mixed results. In 1986, Frank Koehn was elected to the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors, becoming not only the first Green to win election in Wisconsin but the first in the U.S. They did not, however, gain ballot access in Wisconsin for president until 1996, when Ralph Nader received 28,723 votes, more than the 1 percent threshold used to determine recognition by the State Elections Board.

Green Party state treasurer candidate Jeff Peterson maintained that ballot access in 1998 by getting more than 30,000 votes, allowing Nader to run again in the state and attain almost four times his earlier vote total in 2000, with 93,553 Wisconsinites casting their ballots for him. In 2006, the Green Party ran its first candidate for U.S. Senate, Rae Vogeler, in a losing effort against incumbent Herb Kohl (D), along with 17 other candidates for local office, with a record high 22 Greens holding local office in both 2006 and 2007.

Currently, just 11 Greens hold office in Wisconsin, none of whom hold office statewide or in the legislature. Moreover, only one Green, Fredrick Smith of Alaska, holds any state legislature position in the entire country, and only one other Green, Gayle McLaughlin of Richmond, Calif., currently holds office as a mayor.

Physician and 2012 Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein did not make advancements for the party either, as her 434,000vote total came nowhere near Ralph Nader’s multimillion-vote campaign in 2000. Most progressives ended up voting for President Barack Obama, but

Jonathan Dedering’s finish was the best among third-party hopefuls in assembly races in 2012 and one of the better in Wisconsin Green history.

Dedering is still confident that the Green Party can tap into that segment of voters and grab support away from the Democratic Party.

“I think the Democrats are slow and weak,” Dedering said. “They still hold major support because they’re positioned as the wise old man, but their time to pass the torch is quickly nearing.”

As Dedering continues to work toward that goal, he also notes that his candidacy, both the one that just ended and his prospective 2014 run, is a stand against the two party system in general.

“I wanted to challenge the party system as a whole,” he said.

Sex jeopardy opens discussion for awkward topic Game aims to turn ‘taboo’ subject into fun topic of conversation

By Jacob Born

jacob.born@marquette.edu

Last night, a group of students in a Human Sexuality class in the Department of Psychology put on an event titled “Sex Jeopardy.” The event was a program designed to promote sex education and Marquette’s perspectives and attitudes about sex in an “interactive and fun way.”

Sex Jeopardy was a group project for College of Arts & Science students senior Morgan Kolb, junior Josh Krueger, senior Dyon Bryant, junior Gretchen Homan and junior Kristen Gaffey, College of Communication senior Catherine Schnoebelen, College of

Business Administration senior Sergio Tovar and College of Education junior Maegan Kelly designed the event as a way to talk about topics such as college differences regarding sex-related issues at Marquette, and other topics regard the taboo topic.

Dr. Susannah Bartlow, director of the Gender and Sexuality Resources Center, discussed how this event is a great way for students to talk about sex without having to feel uncomfortable about the event.

“This event is just awesome,” Bartlow said. “Normally, when we talk about gender issues, it feels real heavy or always only problem-based, not in a fun, interesting, just sharing information way.”

Schnoebelen agreed, saying one of the reasons why they did the project was because people need to talk about sex, but not many like to in a public setting.

“We’re trying to open up to

et tweet twe

people on campus,” Schnoebelen said. “Sex is kind of ‘taboo’ around here-you can’t even get free condoms on campus. We just want people to feel more comfortable talking about sex and have some fun with it too.”

Kevin Ellis, a senior in the College of Communication and resident assistant in McCormick Hall, recognized how an event like Sex Jeopardy can really help students with a discussion about sex.

“I wanted my residents to experience a community-building event,” Ellis said. “I think it’s a great activity to make light of a topic that is hard for college kids to sometimes talk about.”

Students learned that the College of Communication students masturbate the most out of any college, the College of Health Sciences students watch the most pornography, and the College of Education students have the most intercourse. Of

students polled to compile the statistics for Sex Jeopardy, 37 percent said they have had intercourse with only one partner, and students who were single had the least amount of sex.

Bartlow was extremely excited to get involved with the project, because it utilized the resources offered by the Gender and Sexuality Resources Center, which was designed to be a center for students to learn about not only sex but information about other taboo topics regarding sexuality and gender.

“My goal is to have so many people to visit the center that I have to close the door to get any work done,” Bartlow said.

“When the students in the class came to me and pitched the idea…it was exciting for me to be involved in a fun project that’s related to an academic course as soon as I got here.”

While the event was designed to teach the general public about

sex and sexuality, in class, the students have found a difference between much of what Marquette teaches and what the class teaches.

“I was surprised we were able to do this,” Schnoebelen said.

“I thought we’d get shut down or in trouble for it, but I’m glad that (Marquette) is open to it and that we are supported by the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center.”

Bartlow added that events such as Sex Jeopardy, along with the Gender and Sexuality Resources Center, are a step in the right direction for Marquette.

“One of the things (Sex Jeopardy) does is put Marquette with a lot of other academic institutions in terms of being able to have flexible programs on gender and sexuality,” Bartlow said.

Abele: Board rejects proposal to consolidate county parks with MPD because he is opposed to increasing property taxes.

The most expensive budget amendment resulted from the board’s $3.6 million investment in county employee flex spending accounts. These payroll tax-exempt accounts allow employees to reserve chunks of their salaries for certain sanctioned expenses – usually medical costs or care of dependents – and expire at the end of each year.

But much of the investment’s tax impact was counterbalanced by reducing county employees’ net gains. The board voted to scale back salary increases and terminate a bonus program supported by Abele.

The board also voted unanimously against Abele’s initiative to consolidate Milwaukee County Parks with the Milwaukee Police Department, which he said would save $1.5 million. The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department currently performs park patrol duties, but Abele and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett planned to merge the city police force with the county parks system in 2013 to spare tax dollars – the first

cooperative city-county effort in a decade.

Critics argued that the plan would divert already limited resources from the city and cost county deputies their jobs.

Milwaukee County Board Supervisors David Cullen and Willie Johnson, Jr. denounced the plan in a press release. “(The parks policing plan) would have compromised public safety by overburdening the already-stretched MPD and by jeopardizing response times to citizen calls,” the release said. “Instead, this committee of the Milwaukee County Board listened to the citizens of Milwaukee County and opted to increase the county’s investment in public safety.”

Another board victory resulted in the enforcement of the residency rule on Abele’s economic development director, Brian Taffora. The rule stipulates that county employees must live in Milwaukee County, but Abele’s personnel director granted Taffora, an Ozaukee County resident, an indefinite waiver in the spring.

Taffora will now need to seek reappointment and secure board support annually to continue in his job if he continues living outside Milwaukee County.

ROTC: Arabic considered a ‘critical language’ in post 9-11 world classes five hours a day, five days a week. The experience will count for 12 credits.

Army Cpt. Ross Schuchard said with the prominence of the language globally over the last decade, Arabic has become a “critical language.”

“For instance, 40 years ago you received payment for having language skills in German, but over time, as we have evolved to what has become post-9/11, Arabic came to the forefront,” Schuchard said.

He said Marquette was chosen for this grant mainly because of its Arabic program. Students who wish to go on the trip should show capabilities and interest in language learning.

Schuchard said the grant will only be open to ROTC students. All Marquette ROTC students are eligible to apply to any of the other 24 Project Go schools. Non-ROTC students are welcome to attend the program in Jordan, though they are not eligible for the grant.

“It is not a scholarship program; it is a program that is open to all of our cadets,” Army Lt. Col. Michael Gibson said. “It doesn’t have to be a cadet who is a scholarship student; it can be a cadet who is in our program but not on scholarship for ROTC.” Various Marquette leaders will select the 15 students to receive the grant through a voting system using three sets of votes.

One vote will come from the Office of International Education, which will be coordinating the travel logistics. One vote will come from Arabic professor Enya Othman, who will be serving as supervisor and academic coordinator for the trip. ROTC leaders will have the third vote. “(The students) decide if

they want to apply and go on the trip, but they have to have a certain capability in a language to be selected, and that is where the three votes come in,” Gibson said.

Erin LeMoine, the international communications coordinator of the Office of

International Education, said grants such as this one help OIE expand its work.

“OIE study abroad staff develop the program and support students throughout the study abroad process,” LeMoine said.

“These grants provide us with the necessary funds to jump-start

new innovative programs.”

Gibson explained that while this is a fairly big grant, Marquette students have also won others from the Department of Defense.

“Our Department of Defense is pushing a lot of money and effort into these types of

cultural programs, and this is just one of them,” Gibson said.

Last year, he said, ROTC sent 11 cadets around the globe through the Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency program.

This summer, he hopes to see 15 to 20 cadets participating in cultural event programs.

Health Care: MUSG appeals administration for low-cost solutions ness of our students is our utmost priority,” she said. “Most of our peer institutions are going this way, so I do think that it’s highly likely that they are going to approve it.”

In accordance with the 2010 Affordable Care Act, all American citizens will be required to have health insurance by 2014. Therefore, Smith said, Marquette’s proposed insurance mandate would offer students an alternative to the federal government’s health plan.

Smith said the requirement would mostly impact the 5.6 percent of students who are not currently insured. Unless those students are added to their parents’ insurance or purchase their own plan, they will be expected to pay an estimated $2,300 to $2,500 for the university’s health plan.

Drew Halunen, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences and a former candidate for the MUSG presidency, is one of those approximately 650 uninsured students. He said he has mixed feelings about the possible health insurance requirement.

“It does not bother me that much because I know, in 2014, I’m going to need to have (health insurance) anyway,” Halunen said. “But I guess I do not really understand why the university brought this issue up now.”

MUSG had four specific requests for the administrators in the resolution it passed Thursday, two of which deal with the cost of the program. The other two address issues of how the university will communicate its plans for implementation if the proposal

passes the Board of Trustees.

MUSG Senator Thomas Schick, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, is one of the authors of the resolution.

“Obviously the issue at hand is quite political, but when MUSG was writing this, all we were doing was speaking on behalf of the students,” Schick said. “We were not endorsing anything either way.”

The legislation first asks that the university “recognizes the unique financial situations of each student in determining the expense of the program and provide affordable premiums for low-income students.”

The next request outlined in the resolution “calls for the university to remain transparent throughout the adoption of this new program by communicating significant changes to the direction of the policy.”

Finally, MUSG recommends the administration implement a plan for “communicating the requirements, process and other intricacies relating to the administration of the new health care policy to the student body.”

Smith said she plans to take MUSG’s opinion into account throughout the process, since the program will directly impact students.

“The cost we’re going to negotiate as low as we can,” she said.

“But obviously there are barriers that we can’t control with that.

Regarding transparency, I intend to go back to MUSG if and when it’s approved and again with what our final implementation plans

Students without insurance may purchase a plan from the university, estimated between $2,300 and $2,500.

are.”

The primary way the university would keep insurance costs low is by making the charge another item on students’ CheckMarq receipts, Smith said. That way, students will be able to pay for insurance with their financial aid.

Additionally, she said the administration is working to provide a health care scholarship for students in need.

Smith said premiums would drop if more students decide to buy into the program.

“You can leverage those numbers with the vendor and say, ‘We’re going to have approximately X number of students en-

rolled in this plan,’” she said. “So it just gives you more leverage to bring down the premium costs, because the risk pool increases in size but decreases in risk.”

Vice President of Student Affairs L. Christopher Miller, who also spoke at Thursday’s meeting, said the university will offer an “excellent plan” that should have no problem attracting students.

“There may be students that will opt for this plan instead of their parents’, especially those that may end up having a preexisting condition that could, in fact, be tacked on,” he said.

Some provisions of the plan include uncapped prescription

coverage and contraceptive coverage in accordance with the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, the plan will be available to Marquette students of all ages in undergraduate, graduate and professional studies, regardless of marital status.

As Smith indicated, 18 of the nation’s 28 Jesuit universities currently have a health insurance requirement, and 80 percent of all private institutions have such a mandate. Smith said only 60 percent of public colleges have an insurance requirement and that the University of Wisconsin system is looking into establishing a similar program.

Gov. Walker signals ending same-day registration Democrats slam idea, say GOP wants to make voting harder

By Scout Bauer Associated Press

Gov. Scott Walker signaled in a weekend speech that he may push for elimination of sameday voter registration, saying he thinks Wisconsin would be “much better” without it.

Walker made the comments as part of a speech he gave Friday night at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation in Simi Valley, Calif., in which he talked in general terms about his agenda for the upcoming legislative session. He did not say whether he would propose doing away with same-day registration, which has been targeted by Republicans in the past.

However, he was critical of the practice that has been cited as a factor in Wisconsin’s traditionally high voter turnout.

About 70 percent of the votingage population cast ballots in the presidential election two weeks ago.

“States across the country that have same-day registration have real problems because the vast majority of their states have poll workers who are wonderful volunteers, who work 13 hour days and who in most cases are retirees,” Walker said in the speech.

“It’s difficult for them to handle

the volume of people who come at the last minute. It’d be much better if registration was done in advance of election day. It’d be easier for our clerks to handle that. All that needs to be done.”

Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie didn’t have anything to add Monday. He said the governor would evaluate any bill on the subject before deciding whether to sign it — Werwie’s standard reply when asked about possible pending legislation.

Incoming Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who has introduced proposal to do away with same-day registration in the past, said Monday he was open to the idea but hadn’t spoken with Walker about it. If it were to be brought up, Vos said it likely would not be early in the session that begins in January.

Vos said he favored Wisconsin implementing the “motorvoter” system in which people could register to vote when obtaining their driver’s license at the state Division of Motor Vehicles.

Wisconsin is able to avoid that federal requirement because it offers same-day registration. If it did away with registering at the polls, it would have to then allow voters to register when getting their driver’s license.

Democrats reacted angrily to Walker’s comments.

“As evidenced by robust levels of voter turnout and participation, Wisconsinites take our civic duty seriously, and same-day voter registration has

played a part in ensuring that every eligible elector is able to cast their ballot,” state party chairman Mike Tate said in a statement.

Tate said Walker and Republicans want to make it more difficult for people to vote, citing

the law passed last year requiring photo identification at the polls. While parts of the law have taken effect, two different judges have blocked the photo ID requirement, saying it is unconstitutional. The decisions are being appealed.

Wisconsin is one of eight states that allow same-day registration, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. California and Connecticut have approved it, but the laws have not yet taken effect.

Stop pretending to value student opinion; mean it over the past five years, student opinion has been very important

...

mu

administrator

so thanks to the fifteen students we contacted last week for their input.

Director of Student Health Service Carolyn Smith and Vice President of Student Affairs Chris Miller told members of Marquette Student Government Thursday night that Marquette is proposing a health insurance mandate for all students. During the meeting, Miller said student input in the process is invaluable.

But when one MUSG senator asked how Smith and Miller went about getting student input, Smith said they only talked to the Student Health Advisory Board, made up of approximately a dozen students. The Senator asked how long conversations about the mandate had been happening with members of that board. Smith’s response: “our discussions have become more fruitful as of late.”

She later clarified that these conversations had been happening for about a month.

During the same meeting, Miller and Smith said they had been having this conversation with administrators for about five years.

So is student input really that invaluable?

It doesn’t appear that way to us.

MUSG should have been notified about the mandate as soon as the discussion with the administration became serious, not just right before Smith and Miller proposed it to the Marquette Board of Trustees. Furthermore, MUSG should have been given more than a few days’ time to write legislation about the issue. And if the university really wanted our input, more students than the handful on the Student Health Advisory Board would have been asked for their opinions.

The last time we checked, more students than just MUSG and the Student Health Advisory Board attended this university. This mandate is going to affect hundreds of students, not just a few. If our say was really that important, a much larger and more diverse sample of the student body would have been surveyed.

“

This isn’t the first time Marquette has changed major policies that directly affect its students with little to no input from them.

When the majority of the members of this editorial board started at Marquette, there were three different meal plans from which we could choose. Last year, the two least expensive options were cut and the unlimited plan became the only “choice.” How many students were asked about this change?

What about the new alcohol policy? Administrators said that policy changes were a response to student input, but they nevertheless came as a surprise to most students.

We’re sure a lot of students had voices they wanted heard on that issue.

Perhaps one of the biggest disappointments related to student input is this year’s change to the Fr. Pilarz Forums. Prior to this year, students who attended the forum asked the questions. But now, Pilarz and Executive Vice President Mary DiStanislao ask students the questions and direct the entire converstion.

What happened to the transparency Pilarz talked about during his inauguration? We saw it last year, but why not this year?

Obviously student input isn’t the end-allbe-all of the decision-making process, but having a student’s viewpoint could never hurt. Administrators, if you’re going to say our input is invaluable, then mean it.

Don’t patronize us. If what students have to say really doesn’t matter, then tell us we have no say. And you’d better believe we’re going to complain about that, too.

If you really want student feedback, ask us in ways that will produce actual results.

Send us an email survey, give us a hashtag to tweet and let us voice our opinions at the Fr. Pilarz Forums the right way.

If the university doesn’t want student input, the Tribune does. Send us your thoughts, readers, about the proposed health insurance mandate, because they matter to us.

Don’t squeeze your life into society’s timeline

Caroline Campbell In this era of digital media and the everchanging definition of “news,” there are some websites out there that seem to be a little confused about what they want to be.

For example: the Huffington Post. Is it a blog? A news aggregator? A place on the Internet where the most random pieces of information gather together? It’s hard to say.

I recently decided that one particular section of HuffPo, Huffington Post Teen, whatever it may aspire to be, is actually a purveyor of horrible advice for its readers.

The article “Twenty things not to worry about before you turn 20” actually appalled me. Filed under “Stress Management,” it was a list of things teenagers always worry about that Carolyn Gregoire, the apparent expert on all things young-adult, doesn’t believe anybody should be concerned with until the third decade of her or his life.

The gem of a list included things like “what you’re looking for in a relationship,” “knowing if/when you want to get married or have kids” and my personal favorite, “knowing who you are.”

What really bothered me about this article was the implied expectation that, once someone exits their teenage years, the clock is ticking, so here is a list of 20 more things to worry about.

Thanks for that, Carolyn.

One of the entries in the list was “following a ‘life timeline.’” I don’t fully disagree with this entry, but I would modify it. I don’t think you should ever worry about following some sort of timeline in your life. The idea of a “biological clock” is a ridiculous fabrication that society has somehow imposed upon people, women

especially, and it leads us to believe that there are milestones we must meet in order to be “normal” (another ridiculous construct).

There is not a certain point in a human’s lifetime when some alarm clock goes off and someone says, “Well, that’s it, you missed that deadline. You have failed to figure out your career. But never fear! You still have a couple years to find a soul mate and start a family. Good luck. Let’s hope you don’t screw this one up next.”

Here’s what I think: There is no timeline anybody needs to follow in order to lead an acceptable life. Who really needs to accept your life and the pace at which you do certain things, other than yourself? Yes, of course, things like college loans don’t pay themselves, and, if you have decided college is the way you want to go, you probably need to declare a major and complete it in order to graduate. But if you are bartending or still in college or have absolutely no idea what you want to do with your life or “who you are” when you are 27 years old, is there anything wrong with that? No. If you haven’t decided if you want to get married by the time you’re 30, where is the problem? Some people meet the person they want to spend the rest of their life with in middle school, and some people meet that person in a nursing home. Some people don’t ever feel the need to tie themselves to an individual person at all.

When you go home this week for Thanksgiving and your family asks you all those questions you love to answer, like, “What’s your major?” and the great follow-up, “So what do you plan to do with that?” or “Are you dating anyone?” or, for us seniors, “What are your plans after graduation?”, don’t stress when the answers you find yourself giving aren’t what Uncle Bob and Aunt Janine were expecting to hear. Be honest with yourself and your family and friends.

If you don’t know “who you are,” don’t sweat it. You literally have your entire life to figure these things out. As for me, I suppose I should go a little easier on the Huffington Post and give it a little more time to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up. After all, it’s only 7. caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

Old hobbies die hard – resurrect them

Tony Manno At this point, a lot of people seem frustrated with their free time. You can see it in their eyes. Sometimes there’s just too much to do, and sometimes there’s not enough, the result of both being a complete IQ shutdown. Want to get outside and toss a Frisbee? Same here. Not enough time to take a bus ride and grab a bite?

Back of the line. Sick of snarky demands to read for fun? Join the club.

Hear me out about that last one, rightbrainers. I love reading – there’s nothing like getting sucked into a good book. Reading is a portal into the imagination and all that jazz, etc., etc. When I’m free and motivated, stick me in the public library and I’ll wander all day. This is all true.

But with a laundry list of neglected interests and so much time taken by the mundane, where can I make the time?

I wonder how I’ve let all of my favorite things fly out the window. Sometimes I feel like a shell of a Tony, a robotic donothing programmed to be a student for all eternity. When I was a kid, I filled up sheets of notebook paper with stick figures.

In high school, I spent an hour or more a day on the guitar. Coming into college, I spent lots of time filling the void with movies old and new. And last year, I worked on a couple of stop motion clips in my room.

Now these hobbies are replaced with a brain drain – midday napping, bouncing a tennis ball and 30 splendid minutes of pounding my head to the wall. Where does the time go? Straight into the toilet.

I guess old habits die hard. The excess now gets filled with last minute history reading and watching water boil.

I’m determined to fix this garbage, and I have a few solutions.

The first goal is to consolidate time spent on class work by condensing it. Admit it: half of that time is spent on Sporcle and staring at people in the library anyway. It would behoove you to just cut to the chase.

But sometimes it’s one of those “not enough hours in a day” problems. A friend in high school freed up some of this time by listening to books on tape while he slept, banking on subliminal study habits. This is not recommended – a sleeping brain’s translation of “Beowulf” doesn’t come out quite right,

for some reason – but it’s worth a shot.

The next goal is to re-spark old interests – whip out the sketchpad or dust off the old oboe. These things used to be relaxing, so you might as well give them a second chance.

The last one is to work new interests. Priorities change as time goes on and reveal new hobbies. When the time comes, I’ve got a pile of graphic novels waiting for me.

Well now, that all seems like a lot to tackle. Where can one find the time for it all? I’ve fallen into my own mouse trap. Do what you can, I guess.

The cycle continues, but at the end of the day, it’s worth a shot.

Speaking of “Die Hard,” my housemates and I will continue our premature holiday celebrations soon with Bruce Willis’s top-three Christmas spectacular. Hobby and brain drain can find a happy medium, sometimes. anthony.manno@marquette.edu

This holiday season, embrace your inner child again

Brooke Goodman The older I get, the less I want to grow up. In fact, I’d be OK with going back in time and remaining five years old forever.

Graduation, further schooling and job searches all loom dauntingly on the horizon. Friendships and romantic relationships (or a lack thereof) are also becoming increasingly terrifying. I’d trade all of these worries in a heartbeat with the concerns of a five-year-old.

Back in the day, academic concerns consisted of snagging the pretty-colored crayons before everyone else in the preschool class did. Job worries revolved around completing a chore chart in order to be rewarded with a smiley face sticker. Instead of graduating, the goal was simply to make it to nap time. And relationship problems only occurred when an imaginary friend “stole from the cookie jar” and you got blamed for it.

Even if the real world is approaching far too quickly and growing up is about the last thing I want to do right now, this time of year allows everyone to be a kid again. There’s something magical about the two-month span from Nov. 1 to Jan. 2 that gives us all an extra little something to look forward to.

For me, the holiday season provides a break from the worries of the future. In a sense, it allows me to be five years old again.

On Thursday I’ll wake up to a house full of deliciously mouth-watering smells

Don’t be a Scrooge at the cinema this season

By Matt Mueller

matthew.mueller@marquette.edu

The holidays are coming. College students are already packing up to head back home for hearty hugs and home cooked meals from parents. Turkey legs and Christmas presents will be passed lovingly around the table and around the Christmas tree. A whole truckload of hot new blockbusters, including “The Hobbit,” Quentin Tarantino’s latest “Django Unchained” and “Les Misérables” will hit the screen.

We might even get a white Christmas.

It all sounds so magical. Except if you’re a movie theater worker.

Now, I’d never be one to complain about my job (save for the fact that I’m doing it right now, but nevermind that). You get paid decently for work that’s fun, not all that difficult and most importantly comes

with free movies. I saw “Sex and the City 2,” “Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” and “The Oogieloves.” Why? Because I could without feeling the miserable guilt of missing $10 in my wallet.

During the holiday season, though, the movie theater business is anything but the most wonderful time of the year. The theater, you see, is one of the few places that stays open every day of the year (except in Wisconsin when the Packers are in the Super Bowl). When people are all alone on the holidays or out of conversation topics with their relatives, the only real option for escape is the movie theater.

And sweet buttery popcorn, can people be grumpy. I shouldn’t say everyone, but for every one person who says thanks for working on Christmas and genuinely wants to know what you thought about the movie they’re seeing,

and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In the month following, I’ll take a few finals, shop, bake cookies, give to others, describe everything as tasting like Christmas and spend some much needed time with family. My sister and I will reconnect with our claymation friends, Rudolph and Frosty, and perfect our Heat Miser and Snow Miser song and dance routine in the living room.

And I’ll continue to hold out hope that Santa Claus does, in fact, exist.

Regardless of what religion, practices or holidays you observe, this time of year is like a trip to Disney World, the Olympics and getting an acceptance letter to Hogwarts, combined.

So don’t be afraid to feel “like a little kid on Christmas morning” every once in a while.

Once it snows, go have an epic snowball fight and build snow forts in Central Mall. Watch “Elf” until you’re tempted to eat spaghetti drenched with chocolate syrup. Decorate a ton of sugar cookies

and deliver them as surprises to various people around campus. Give thoughtful Secret Santa gifts and make an effort to actually enjoy holiday shopping.

Reminisce about holidays past and look forward to holidays in the future.

Give thanks for the opportunities you are blessed with on a daily basis. Think about others rather than yourself, and do everything you can to help those in need. Spend as much time with family as possible, and let others know how much you care about them.

I’d argue that as we get older, we need the holiday season even more than what we did when we were children.

So when this long-awaited time of year rolls around, be grateful and take advantage of the chance it provides to reconnect not only with loved ones, but with your five-year-old self.

Sure, growing up is inevitable, but there’s nothing wrong with putting it on hold for a short while each year. brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

there’s another person waiting to spill all of their rage about obscenely priced movie tickets or popcorn combos.

Since it is the season of giving, I’ll give you some easy pointers on how to avoid getting eye rolls from your local theater’s tuxedoed staff.

The easiest way to get on the bad side of a theater worker is to complain about the prices. Trust me, we know the tickets and popcorn are overpriced, but there’s literally nothing the powerless high school student behind the box office or vending stand can do about it.

It’s not like the employees see much of that revenue anyway. Movie ticket costs are high because studios take almost all of it. “Star Wars: Episode I” infamously took 90 percent of the opening weekend ticket sales. As a result, theaters need to charge massively for concession items because that’s the only way they can stay in business.

And while we’re on the topic of food, please pick up your garbage at the end of the movie. Don’t drop your two large popcorn bins, three soda cups and empty boxes of Raisinets and Sno-Caps on the ground. Yes, the ushers are there for a reason, but that doesn’t excuse laziness. They probably have five or six other packed auditoriums to clean up in that hour, so the less cleaning that needs to be done, the faster the crowds can happily plop into the seats.

This shouldn’t even have to be said, but don’t use your cell phone during

the movie. It isn’t 2000 anymore. Cell phone etiquette isn’t new. Take two hours, disconnect from Twitter, Facebook and texting for a while and enjoy a good story. Your tweet or text probably wasn’t that clever anyway.

My last nugget of advice is to do some research before heading off to the theater. Make sure you have the right movie time for the right movie. Read a couple of movie reviews while you’re at it, too (I’m not just saying that for self-promotional reasons, either). This past Christmas, I witnessed a mother and her young son buy tickets for a showing of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” The assumably uncomfortable car ride home could’ve been avoided if somebody had read a review or synopsis at some point. And several teary-eyed Christmases could’ve been thwarted if some savvy parents read a few reviews for “Marley & Me” before taking the whole family.

A lot of these rules really just come down to common courtesy, something that customers – and admittedly workers, too – can lose sight of during the hectic hubbub of the holiday season.

The craziness can make anyone irritable, but if we all remember the holiday spirit, a trip to the cinema can be as magical as the film on the screen.

I’m sure we’ll still have our disagreements, but I think we can agree on one thing: The absence of another “Alvin and the Chipmunks” movie is the best Christmas gift of all.

MEN’S SOCCER

Season ends in uncharacteristic fashion Loss to Wildcats the first at home for MU this season

By Matt Trebby

matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Senior forward Andy Huftalin saw his Marquette career come to an end after the Golden Eagles 2-1 loss Sunday.

In the regular season, Marquette always hit its rhythm right when it needed to.

Its match on Sunday was a different story, and because of that, its season is over.

Northwestern beat the Golden Eagles in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, 1-0. It was the first time Marquette lost at home this season and was also the first time the team was shut out.

Wildcats freshman Joey Calistri scored his team-high ninth goal of the season in the 31st minute of the match. Marquette cleared a Northwestern free kick, but it only went as far as Calistri, who hit a one-timer from 25 yards out that ended up in the back of the net.

After that, Northwestern focused on defending and holding its lead.

The Wildcats always had at least seven or eight players behind the ball when Marquette was in possession, and for the majority of the match, they had 10 or all 11.

“We had faced teams like that, and we scouted them, and we knew what was coming,” redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Charlie Lyon said. “It was a matter of doing the necessary things of breaking that down, what they do so well. We just weren’t able to do that.”

“It’s a tough way to go out, especially in the season we’ve had, but any team that can come to Valley Fields and shut us out and win, fair play to them,” coach Louis Bennett said.

Marquette only had two shots on goal, both of which were comfortable saves for Northwestern goalkeeper Tyler Miller. The Golden Eagles’ best chance came when

senior Andy Huftalin teed up redshirt junior Adam Lysak, whose bullet of a shot went just wide from 20 yards out.

Northwestern had a few good chances after its goal through Calistri. Later in the first half, Marquette turned the ball over on defense, and Calistri took possession.

Defender Axel Sjoberg pressured Calistri wide, and his shot went wide of Lyon’s near post.

In the second half, Lyon had the save of the night with a fantastic one-handed stop of a left-footed strike from the goalscorer.

Going down early to Northwestern frustrates opponents even more because the Wildcats’ main focus becomes defending, and when they attack it is only with three or four players.

“We’ve been creating chances all season, and this is the first game all season we haven’t created the chances we want,” Lysak said.

“That’s the game. That team is very resilient and gave us a hard time.”

“You don’t want to try to pinpoint things of what went wrong,” Huftalin said. “It’s more the fact that we just didn’t make things happen, and obviously we can’t move on to fix them for the next game. This is a great point for the guys to start their offseason with and return better next year.”

Still, Marquette enjoyed a memorable season. The team tied the program record for most wins in a season and qualified for the NCAA Tournament for only the second time ever. Having increased their win total every year under Bennett, the Golden Eagles are set for even more success in the future.

“We’ve done some things that haven’t been done at this school in a while,” Lyon said. “I’m very proud of the group of guys here right now.

It’s been an honor to be a part of this program. We’re just going to build from what we’ve already done this season and continue to move forward and hopefully go farther next year.”

Writing even more Rodgers brings different mindset than other coaches on the wall for MU Assistant coach still playing for MLL’s Hamilton Nationals

By Christopher Chavez

christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

As the temperatures drop in Milwaukee, the Marquette men’s lacrosse team is shifting its focus from practicing at Valley Fields to working out at the Al McGuire Center.

Winter workouts create an opportunity for the athletes to train at a higher level with no worries about recovery in time for a game.

The players lift four days a week and spend two more days concentrating on speed training.

Lifting sessions are overseen by strength and conditioning coach

Todd Smith and assistant coach Scott Rodgers.

Rodgers is entering his second year with the Marquette lacrosse staff. Aside from coaching, he spends his time playing goalie for the U.S. national team and the Hamilton Nationals, a member of Major League Lacrosse.

Coach Joe Amplo reached out to Rodgers and invited him to join the coaching staff while Rodgers was playing professionally in Minnesota. “(Rodgers) has this big personality and has this demeanor about him that captivates anybody he speaks with,” Amplo said. “Watching him work at some camps and seeing him teach the game, I noticed he was a great teacher. I thought if we can get this guy on our staff, he would be great to have.”

According to Rodgers, Mar-

quette is recruiting “hard-working” and “blue collar” studentathletes. This reminds Rodgers a lot of himself as an All-American selection at MacArthur High School on Long Island.

Amplo was among many other college coaches who tried to recruit Rodgers. Rodgers went on to play for Notre Dame and led the Fighting Irish to the 2010 NCAA Championship. He brings an athlete’s perspective to the coaching staff.

“The fact that I still play and am an assistant coach, I have a different relationship with these guys,” Rodgers said. “I share my experiences with (the players), and we get on the same page with what they’re going through at the same time.”

With Smith as a mentor, Rodgers has been able to mix up See Rodgers, page 13

Michael LoCicero It appears now – if there was ever a doubt – that there are no “safe” teams when it comes to conference expansion and realignment.

With Maryland joining the Big Ten Monday for the 2014-15 season and Rutgers expected to do so today, Marquette fans have to wonder, yet again, what the future holds for the Golden Eagles and the Big East.

We’ve known for a long time, probably since West Virginia decided it wanted to move to the Big 12, that the Big East would

eventually dissolve or become diluted in some fashion.

Rumors are now floating around about Louisville, Connecticut, South Florida and Cincinnati considering their options to move on. They probably have been considering it for some time.

Maryland was a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1953. But an exit fee of $50 million won’t be enough to prevent the Terrapins from moving on from a conference they have been a part of for almost 60 years.

The school must have had some inkling that it was considering moving on, because it voted, along with Florida State, to keep the exit fee at $20 million in September.

Maryland’s move also has to be quite a shock for the ACC after it added Notre Dame, Syracuse and See LoCicero, page 16

Turnovers just too much for MU to overcome in loss Squad gave the ball away 37 times in loss to Georgia Tech

By Kyle Doubrava

kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

Although the score showed a Marquette loss, the Golden Eagles proved Sunday that they have plenty of fight in them this season.

Marquette fell to Georgia Tech at McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta, 7672, despite a last-ditch comeback by the Golden Eagles in which they made an 11-2 run over the final two minutes.

Leading the way was junior guard Katie Young, who scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

Sophomore guard Arlesia Morse

put up 15 points and dished out five assists. Senior forward Sarina Simmons netted 11 points.

“It was kind of disappointing because there were so many little things we could have changed that could have led to a different outcome,” Simmons said. “It’s still early in the season, and we’re all still learning from our mistakes.”

Georgia Tech, which improved to 2-1, was a No. 4 seed in last season’s NCAA Tournament and should have the firepower to return to the Big Dance this year. The Yellow Jackets were led by Dawnn Maye’s 23 points, 10 steals and six assists as the team held a 38-20 advantage in points scored off turnovers.

Turnovers were a huge problem for both teams. Marquette gave the ball away 37 times and Georgia Tech 22 times. The Yellow Jackets recorded an astounding 27 steals,

Senior Sarina Simmons had 11 points but also four turnovers Sunday.

THE FACTS: Marquette must rebound quickly this afternoon from a heartbreaking 72-71 loss to Butler in the first round of the Maui Invitational against a struggling Mississippi State team. The Bulldogs were trounced by No. 9 North Carolina, 95-49, in the first round last night and lost to Troy on Nov. 9. A Marquette win puts the Golden Eagles in good shape to get out of Hawaii with two victories.

while Marquette was held to just eight.

Brooklyn Pumroy had eight turnovers for the Golden Eagles, and Morse tallied six. All Marquette players had at least two turnovers on the day, an issue coach Terri Mitchell will address as the team moves forward.

“It is always tough to win on the road,” Mitchell told GoMarquette. com. “We must put a premium on taking care of the ball. We battled for 40 minutes and we will learn from our mistakes and grow as a team. We are looking forward to getting back to practice to correct our turnovers and capitalize on the things we did well.”

Simmons said the game could have easily gone in Marquette’s favor had the team handled the ball better.

Simmons said pushing the tempo and having difficulties in transition were major factors for the turnover troubles and that having two to three times the normal number of giveaways in a game is quite alarming.

“It’s very disappointing for us to collectively have 37 turnovers, and losing by only four points is mind-blowing,” Simmons said.

“To compete in the top five in our conference, we know that’s unacceptable. We know the things we could have done, and if we don’t learn a lesson from it then it’ll be a loss on all ends.”

Free throws also kept the game close. Both sides had their struggles from the foul stripe; Marquette shot 17-for-27 (63 percent) and Georgia Tech just 14-for-25 (56 percent).

The Golden Eagles crashed the glass, limiting the Yellow Jackets to 32 rebounds and grabbing 47 rebounds themselves, 18 of them offensive.

The Golden Eagles, who drop to 1-1 in the young season, shot a respectable 46.3 percent from the field, a promising sign for Mitchell, who is trying to revamp the offense this season after a disappointing output in 2011-12.

Next for the Golden Eagles is a trip to College Station, Tex., for the Texas A&M Classic. They will play Marshall this Friday and Texas A&M Sunday. Marshall heads into the Classic with a 2-1 record, while the Aggies are 0-3 and dropped out of the Top 25 in the most recent poll.

After Thanksgiving break, the team will make a stop at South Dakota State on Nov. 28 and host Fordham at the Al McGuire Center on Dec. 1.

TRIBUNE Game of the Week

Nick Szczech graduated from Marquette in December 2011 having run the second fastest time in school history for the 10,000-meter run. Upon graduation, he continued running and made his way to Austin to pursue his Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Texas.

His ultimate goal is to run at the 2016 United States Olympic Trials for the marathon. He won the 2011 Lakefront Marathon with a time of 2:22:17, which is good enough for a Boston Marathon qualifier. In order for him to run in one of the most exclusive American marathons

leading up to the Olympics, he would need to post a time of 2:19:00 or faster for 26.2 miles.

Plans are in the works for him to run a half marathon in the spring, possibly in Austin. His former teammates Blake Johnson and Pete Bolgert have explored the idea of running the New Orleans Half Marathon with him.

Szcech averages approximately 60 miles per week, but he is not running for a club team. He plans on joining a team upon receiving his degree. christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

Rodgers: Winter workouts a chance to work even harder

the lifting workouts when he oversees the morning sessions.

His exercises put an emphasis on body building, while Smith is more of an Olympic lifting trainer. The mix of both helps improve the overall fitness of the players.

Redshirt freshman BJ Grill is one of several members of the team who attends all the extra lifting sessions, for which he said he wakes up before 6 a.m. Not only is this a chance for him to bulk up and make up for a lack of size, but he sees it as an opportunity to strengthen team chemistry.

“I go to the morning workouts because we have developed a huge bond between the guys that go early,” Grill said. “It helps us develop a relationship by doing extra work together

and doing more different types of workouts aside from the standard lifts.”

Amplo said the athletes spending extra time in the weight room demonstrate that Smith and Rodgers are creating a comfortable atmosphere for the athletes to further their fitness.

“The (athletes) getting up earlier two days a week serves as an indication that those guys enjoy what they’re doing,” Amplo said. “It speaks that those guys really want to get the most out of themselves.”

Fewer than 75 days remain until the men’s lacrosse team takes the field at Michigan, where the players hope to see the benefits and rewards of their winter training.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Penalty kick loss a tough way to go out for MU Golden Eagles’ season ends after 6-5 shootout at BYU

By Michael LoCicero

michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Marquette’s season ended in a brutal way Saturday night when BYU advanced 6-5 on penalty kicks after the teams played a scoreless 110 minutes of regulation and overtime in Provo, Utah.

The Golden Eagles had a chance to advance to their first ever Elite Eight following a 3-1 win over Princeton on Thursday.

“It’s always tough for our season to come to an end,” coach Markus Roeders said. “But at the end of the day, only one team is going to win the whole thing. We put ourselves in position to do that, but it just didn’t work out.”

BYU came out hot in the first 20 minutes or so, peppering freshman goalkeeper Amanda Engel with shot after shot, but she was up for

the challenge. She said she had to take on game-ending penalty kick situations a few times while playing for the Real Colorado National team.

“I’d put her up with anyone,” Roeders said of Engel. “I think she really came into her own this year and had a great game Saturday. She really helped everyone in front of her this year.”

Engel finished the game with a career-high nine saves.

Despite its season ending, Marquette hasn’t technically lost a game since it fell 5-2 to Duke on Sept. 9, because penalty kick shootouts count as ties. But that doesn’t make the “loss” any easier to take.

“It’s sad to see the season come to an end, obviously, but we left it all out on the field,” Engel said. “I have to say I’m fairly proud of how I played this year, and I definitely learned a lot, especially from the seniors.”

BYU owned a 20-13 edge in shots heading into overtime but led 12-5 in shots at halftime. Marquette was able to shore up its defense, which led to a better offensive

attack after some keen adjustments by the coaching staff.

Roeders said the team went with three forwards and three midfielders along with its traditional fourdefender alignment after the first part of the game.

“We had to change some things up a bit because BYU was very strong in the beginning,” Roeders said. “We balanced things out a bit better after the alignment change, and it helped us get some really good looks.”

While the finish was controversial, with a scoreless game being decided by penalty kicks, Roeders said he wouldn’t change anything about it.

“I’m a traditionalist in the fact that ever since I’ve played soccer, the game has to end somehow, and this is how it happens,” Roeders said. “You could come up with some gimmicky thing like extending the overtimes or taking players off the field, but this is what it comes down to.”

Marquette was on the other side of the ledger when it advanced, 5-4, in penalty kicks over

Clarke’s prayer sends Golden Eagles to consolation round Arkansas transfer made just four of 14 threes before winner

By Trey Killian

robert.killian@marquette.edu

Junior forward Davante Gardner cashed in 12 big points off the bench, though foul trouble limited him to just 16 minutes of play.

It looked like Marquette would run away with the contest after starting the game on a 14-4 run, but a Clarke 3-pointer tied the game at 23 with 3:58 left in the first half.

The score would be tied five more times, and the lead would change seven more times from there on in a furious back-andforth battle. Both teams shot

above 55 percent from the field in the second half.

Three starters scored 56 of Butler’s 72 points, while Marquette’s bench scored 28 points.

In the end, turnovers were killer for Marquette. While the Bulldogs gave the ball away just seven times for the game, the Golden Eagles coughed it up 14 times, leading to 14 Butler points.

For the Golden Eagles to lose in such dramatic fashion felt like a crime. And in this case the Butler did it.

Junior guard Vander Blue played the best game of his college career against Butler in the Maui Invitational, but it wasn’t enough. One costly missed free throw and one incredible buzzerbeating shot sent the Bulldogs to a 72-71 win over Marquette.

It looked like the Golden Eagles would be moving on to play North Carolina after Jake Thomas put back an offensive rebound with 30.9 seconds left in the game to give Marquette a three-point lead. Butler’s Erik Fromm laid in a missed threepoint attempt, cutting the deficit to 70-69, and guard Rotnei Clarke sent senior guard Junior Cadougan to the line with about eight seconds left.

Cadougan made one free throw, but his second one rimmed out, and Clarke took the ball up court with time ticking away.

With sophomore guard Derrick Wilson draped all over him, the Butler senior fired an offbalanced rainbow from another area code that somehow found its way through the net.

Blue’s big game had put the Golden Eagles in position to win. After coming into the game with no 3-pointers, Blue knocked down three, one giving Marquette a 67-62 lead with 2:01 left. Blue finished with 21 points to lead the team.

Up until the missed free throw, Cadougan had put together a Photo courtesy of Marquette Athletics solid performance as well with 14 points and three assists. Junior Vander Blue scored 21 points in Marquette’s loss to Butler Monday.

Wisconsin in 2010 to go to the Sweet 16. It also saw its season end at Dayton in 2009 in a shootout.

“If you’re on the wrong end, it’s unfortunate, but if you win the game, you say, ‘Hey, what a terrific result,’” Roeders said.

Marquette finishes a season in which it won the Big East Tournament championship for the first time in program history, and had the third-most wins in its history, on the 20th anniversary of the program’s inception.

The Golden Eagles also won their division for the fourth straight year and went unbeaten in conference play for the second time in three years.

“It’s hard to wrap your head around right now, but in due time we’ll look forward and take it all in and really reflect on what a great season this was,” Roeders said. “We’ll certainly miss our six seniors, but we have a great nucleus coming

back and a great balance of younger and more experienced players.”

VOLLEYBALL

Third time not a charm for Golden Eagles First Big East title game for MU ends in loss to Louisville

By Patrick Leary

patrick.leary@marquette.edu

Photo by Danny Alfonzo/daniel.alfonzo@marquette.edu

Junior setter Elizabeth Koberstein finished with 31 assists in Marquette’s 3-0 loss to Louisville on Sunday.

Marquette’s volleyball team played in its first Big East Tournament championship final with a pair of wins over Pittsburgh and South Florida Friday and Saturday, respectively, before falling to Louisville Sunday to finish second.

Marquette hosted the championship at the Al McGuire Center for the second straight year and improved on its 2011 performance, when it lost in the semifinals to Cincinnati.

“We’re obviously disappointed that we lost,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “I thought it was some of the best volleyball we played all year. It was great to watch our team progressively get better as the match went on.”

Marquette started the weekend against Pittsburgh, the seventh seed, and took care of the Panthers in four sets (2514, 22-25, 25-23, 25-19). The Golden Eagles battled through the second and third sets before finishing off the match in the fourth. It took passing the ball to senior middle hitter Dani Carlson more to secure the victory.

“I’m always wanting the ball more than I get it,” Carlson said. “It’s great to see the passers step up to the plate and give good passes. I want as many opportunities as I can get.”

On Saturday, Marquette defeated sixth-seeded South Florida (25-16, 25-20, 25-27, 25-22), after the Bulls shocked Notre Dame in the first round Friday. The Golden Eagles took the first two sets easily, then faltered in the third before coming back to win the fourth frame.

“We knew that South Florida was hot and inspired,” Shymansky said. “They really grind pretty hard. We came out and looked really sharp in the first set and into the second set. I described it as methodical to our team, and that’s a good thing.”

Marquette fell behind in the fourth set, 7-1, and junior setter Elizabeth Koberstein said the team realized the urgent need for a comeback.

“All of us felt a little urgent, a little antsy,” Koberstein said.

“When you’re down six points, you have to be urgent. We kept saying ‘do this together.’ Julie (Jeziorowski) kept reminding us that we can’t do this as individuals. Everyone stepped up their game.”

The championship match Sunday did not go Marquette’s way, as Louisville swept the Golden Eagles for the second time in 10 days (25-19, 25-23, 26-24). Even in defeat, Shymansky was proud of his team’s performance and effort.

“I thought we played some great volleyball for most of the match,” Shymansky said. “We were able to do some things that we hadn’t done before with Louisville. I thought we did a great job stopping (Louisville’s outside hitter) Lola (Arslanbekova).”

For most of the match, especially the third set, Marquette benefitted from a loose and upbeat attitude, which didn’t allow it to get discouraged by big Louisville points.

“We tried to play like we had nothing to lose,” Jeziorowski said. “We were the second seed coming in, so we tried to have fun with it and just kind of go with it.”

Shymansky said he could tell his team had improved in the last year based purely on its expectations entering championship weekend.

“Last year we would’ve killed just to be in the championship, and it was bitter to sit there and watch it from the stands,” Shymansky said. “This year, we knew we were going to get there, and the question was, ‘Are we going to win the title and beat Louisville to do it?’

That is a big disappointment, because we expect to beat everyone we play.”

Going forward, Marquette faces a tune-up match against Northern Illinois Saturday before likely heading to the NCAA Tournament the next week. For success in the latter, Marquette will need to string together a few solid matches.

“I thought our team played great for most of the match (Sunday),” Shymansky said.

“But ‘most’ gets you ‘almost.’

We need to be able to play great for all of a match. We’re capable, and we’re excited for that next opportunity.”

LoCicero: Rutgers departure not a huge loss for Big East basketball Pittsburgh in the past year. What does this mean for the future of that conference?

As of press time, there was no information available on what Rutgers would be asked to pay as an exit fee from the Big East, but Notre Dame was required to pay just $5 million to leave in September.

If anyone needed any clarification on how much more powerful the ACC is than the Big East, look no further than that $50 million to $5 million disparity between the conferences’ exit fees.

Maryland regent Patricia Fiorestano said the school perceived

the Big Ten’s future as “brighter” than the ACC. If the ACC’s future is bleak, what does that mean for the Big East?

Maryland had to cut funding from seven teams this season as a result of a massive budget deficit, according to CBS Sports. The Big Ten will renegotiate with the Big Ten Network in 2017, which should result in a healthier cut for the Terps than they got with the ACC. “I did it to guarantee the longterm future of Maryland athletics,” University President Wallace Loh told The Diamondback, Maryland’s student newspaper.

“No future president will have to worry about cutting teams or that Maryland athletics will be at risk.”

If only Marquette student athletes, present and future, had that assurance from University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz or Director of Athletics Larry Williams.

ACC commissioner John Swofford said of Maryland’s departure, “Since the ACC’s inception, they have been an outstanding member of our conference, and we are sorry to see them exit.”

Unfortunately, Mr. Swofford, there is no place for loyalty in the

cold world of conference realignment.

Another thing that doesn’t seem to matter any more is travel restrictions. Maryland, which will be the Big Ten’s most eastern school, is more than 1,200 miles from Nebraska, the school furthest west in the conference.

Rutgers is about 1,100 miles from Nebraska. Get ready for some long nights and a lot of time away from school, Terrapins and Scarlet Knights players.

To clarify exactly what this means for the remaining members of the Big East, Rutgers’ loss isn’t huge in terms of basketball.

The Scarlet Knights haven’t exactly blown the doors off their opponents in recent years, and they have never won a Big East championship since the conference’s inception in 1979.

But the latest conference realignment proves once again that schools that play football will forever get precedent on where they want to go when realignment talks come up again. If you play football, conferences are going to want you. If you don’t, good luck. michael.locicero@marquette.edu
