The College of Nursing’s Simulation Technology and Learning Resource Center underwent a drastic $4 million makeover this summer. The center, renamed the Wheaton Franciscan Center for Clinical Simulation, mimics the confines of a hospital and was made possible by a $1 million donation from the Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare Center and contributions from alumni and other supporters.

The new center features human simulators, which nursing students can perform many of the same medical procedures they would on actual patients such as drawing blood and taking vital signs.

The roughly 10,000 squarefoot center, located in the basement of Emory T. Clark Hall, opened in August and is accessible to all undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students in the College of Nursing, who will mainly use the center through See Nursing, page 9

The renovated basement of Emory Clark Hall was renamed the Wheaton Franciscan Center for Clinical Simulation for the group’s $1 million donation.

2012 election no joke for Kal Penn Actor speaks to young voters at MU for Obama campaign

By Jenny Zahn jennifer.zahn@marquette.edu

When Kal Penn visited Marquette Saturday, he wasn’t just stopping by on his way to White Castle.

Best known for his parts in the series “House M.D.” and the “Harold and Kumar” movies, Penn also stars for the White House under another role: associate director of public engagement. He spoke before a crowd of more than 100 in the Alumni Memorial Union.

“I got a phone call in 2008 asking if I could serve in a much bigger way in youth outreach,” Penn said. “I am honored to

serve my country. I’m happy to do this. I thought it was a pretty incredible opportunity.”

Penn acts as a liaison to the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, along with young voters, by speaking at rallies, universities and other public forums to support President Barack Obama’s reelection. Penn rose to the position in 2009 after advocating for Obama in Iowa during his 2007 election campaign and serving on Obama’s National Arts Policy Committee in 2008.

“I had never done anything political before I campaigned for Obama,” Penn said. “I was really impressed by the president and what I saw while working on the campaign in Iowa. There was also a writer strike, so there was no stoner movie to be had that year.”

14,000 Wisconsinites ran from 12th Street and Wisconsin Avenue to Lake Michigan and raised more than a million dollars in the 35th annual Briggs & Al’s Run and Walk for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Saturday.

The Briggs & Al’s Run and Walk has raised more than $14 million since it began in 1977, funding that has helped provide medical care for more than 340,000 patients a year, according to the foundation’s website.

The proceeds from the first event in 1977 went to the Children’s Hospital for the

DPS Reports

News in Brief Anti-Islam film protests continue Protests continued Monday in Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Yemen and Lebanon over the release of an online film that mocks the Islamic prophet Muhammad, CNN reported Monday.

Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the U.S.-deemed terrorist organization Hezbollah in Lebanon, decried the video as the “worst attack ever on Islam” and has warned of “very dangerous” repercussions if the video is released in its entirety, according to multiple news sources.

The film, titled “Innocence of Muslims,” was originally released as a 14-minute trailer and privately produced in the U.S., which has made it clear that it did not sanction the video. In the video, Muhammad is depicted as a womanizer, child molester and killer, CNN reported. It is prohibited in Islam for Muhammad to be depicted in any way.

Google, after receiving legal threats, has blocked the video in five countries through Monday, including Egypt, Libya, Indonesia, India and Malaysia. The Pakistan and Afghanistan governments have also blocked the video.

MSN News reported that as of Monday 19 people have died in violence associated with protests of the film.

U.S. accuses China of undermining American manufacturers The Obama administration filed a complaint against China at the World Trade Organization Monday alleging that China gave up to $1 billion in subsidies to car and car-part exporters to the detriment of American manufacturers, The New York Times reported.

The president announced the complaint while on the campaign trail in Ohio, a swing state where the automobile industry supports one in eight residents. Obama has come under fire from Republican rival Mitt Romney over his handling of China’s trade practices.

Romney claimed Obama’s actions were “too little, too late.” In turn, Obama has criticized Romney for outsourcing jobs to China during his time at investment firm Bain Capital and for his investments in Chinese companies.

Obama had previously announced a WTO complaint against China in Ohio in July. The fact that a similar announcement was made again in the same state was a coincidence, said Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

Police Officer shot in Oak Creek attends benefit Oak Creek Police Lieutenant Brian Murphy made his first public appearance Sunday since he was shot 15 times while responding to the shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin. Murphy went with his family to a fundraiser across the street from the Sikh temple to benefit victims of the attack.

According to the Oak Creek Patch website, a car show was held in his honor. Murphy was released from the hospital Aug. 22.

According to WTMJ.com, casts were visible on his hands, and he could only speak in a whisper.

Despite a throat wound, Murphy gave a public thank you.

“I just want to let everyone know how appreciative I am and my family is for your kindness, prayers and support that mean so much to us,” Murphy said. It was also Murphy’s birthday.

Dentistry professor dies at 71 John Streiff, clinical adjunct assistant professor of Endodontics in the Department of Dental Surgical Sciences, passed away Sept.

10 at age 71. Streiff taught clinical endodontics, which studies the pulp and tissues surrounding the root of a tooth.

Streiff attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was a graduate of Loyola School of Dentistry in Chicago and received his Master’s degree in endodontics from Indiana School of Dentistry. He also opened the first endodontic practice in Madison, Wis. in 1973.

Streiff spent two years on active duty at the Naval Training Center in San Diego, Cali.

Ann Romney to visit campus Ann Romney, wife of Republican Presidential candidate

Mitt Romney, will be on campus Thursday morning for a campaign rally. The event will take place in the Old Gym, located at 1530 W. Clybourn St., at 11:30 a.m.

According to a flier released by the Romney campaign, attendees can RSVP and get a free ticket to the event online.

The flier states that guests will go through “airport-like security” and should bring as few personal items as possible. No bags, sharp objects, umbrellas, liquids or signs will be allowed in the venue.

The Old Gym currently houses Marquette’s Army and Naval ROTC departments, as well as training resources for various athletic teams. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. Cameras are permitted.

Florida company threatens move to Milwaukee Advanced Disposal, a Jacksonville-based company, is seeking a $695,000 incentive to retain headquarters at its current Florida location, or else the company will consider a new location for its corporate headquarters. Milwaukee is one location under consideration, along with Atlanta, G.A. and Charlotte, N.C. According to the company’s website, Advanced Disposal is a full-service environmental services company that provides collection, transfer and disposal operations to more than 48,000 commercial customers and 775,000 residential customers throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The company has recently merged with the Milwaukeebased company Veolia ES Solid Waste. Veolia’s current office in Milwaukee is under consideration to become the location of Advanced Disposal’s newest national headquarters.

In 2011, Milwaukee was ranked 39th out of 102 on MarketWatch’s list of best cities for business.

Among other benefits, the Wisconsin Department of Commerce offers a tax credit program that will help “businesses relocating to Wisconsin to earn tax credits through job creation, capital investment, employee training and corporate headquarters.”

Kara Kaiser, the southeast Wisconsin regional president of M&I, which is a part of the BMO Financial Group, said the financial group donated the money as a way to “be part of the efforts against infant mortality.”

“The infant mortality rate is not how we want to be defined in Milwaukee,” Kaiser said. “We care about the same things our customers care about, and we wanted to make an investment in something that matters to us all. The well-being of children is something that preoccupies us in all of our markets. The city’s efforts in support of healthy birth outcomes is something we knew

NEWS BRIEF

Law restricting unions struck down Unions across Wisconsin are celebrating the most recent ruling by Dane County Judge Juan Colas in their favor. Last Friday, Colas ruled that Gov. Scott Walker’s law restricting the collective bargaining of unionized public workers is unconstitutional.

Colas stated that Walker’s law violated the constitutional rights of free speech, free association and equal representation of public workers.

Colas also ruled the law violated the Constitution’s equal protection clause by differentiating between the treatment of union and non-unionized employees.

In his 27-page ruling, he said some of the law’s sections “single out and encumber the rights of those employees who choose union membership and representation solely because of that association and therefore infringe upon the rights of free speech and association guaranteed by both the Wisconsin and United States constitutions.”

The ruling will affect all local public workers, including teachers and city and county government employees. Prior to the ruling, collective bargaining was limited to wage increases and did not include health benefits, pensions and workplace safety. Now these can all be bargained.

Walker argued that the law was necessary to close the $137 million gap in Wisconsin’s budget. The law has been in effect since March 2011 and has prompted many protests and a recall election on June 5, from which Republican Gov. Scott Walker emerged as the first U.S. governor to survive a recall. The recall cost taxpayers more than $13.5 million.

Walker’s administration will attempt to appeal, and the decision could still be overturned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Until then, however, it is unclear if unions will be able to negotiate contracts or if Walker’s law will remain in effect.

we wanted to be part of.”

Nicole Angresano, a vice president of United Way of Greater Milwaukee, said in an email that the donation will be used to support programs that have demonstrated success in achieving healthy birth outcomes.

“We are so lucky and grateful to live in a community with such generous businesses,” Angresano said. “When BMO acquired M&I, I think there was a real concern that M&I’s long-standing tradition of serving this community might be in danger. But BMO Harris has made it very clear that it is going to continue to engage in bold, high-impact philanthropy in our city — and we are all going to reap the benefits of it’s sense of corporate responsibility.”

Angresano said United Way is committed to investing in programs that will help families succeed and allow babies to make it to their first birthdays.

“Save lives. Period,” Angresano said of the program’s goal.

“We are talking about real babies not making it to their first birthdays — there is no more important outcome than ensuring that all babies are born healthy and ready to thrive.”

United Way has awarded a portion of the donation, $150,000 over three years, to Progressive Community Health Centers, which plan to use the donation to help strengthen their obstetrics program. These centers are located in Milwaukee neighborhoods particularly affected by infant mortality.

“Progressive Health Center is a high-performing medical home that serves families, many of whom are at great risk for poor birth outcomes,” Angresano said.

“United Way and Progressive have partnered in the past, and their work is culturally competent and of very high quality.”

Sarah Andritsch, the marketing manager for Progressive Community Health Centers, said in an email that the $50,000 annual gift will be used to hire a fulltime registered nurse who will work exclusively with women’s

health and prenatal patients.

“This is a new role at our health center that we were previously unable to fund,” Andritisch said.

“The nurse will assist our women’s health team with care coordination activities for our most at-risk pregnant patients.”

Andritsch said the donation was a “welcome surprise.”

“We knew that BMO Harris and United Way were committed to making an investment in Milwaukee’s community health centers, and we were very pleased to learn that the lead gift would be a multi-year grant directed toward Progressive Community Health Centers to address the infant mortality crisis in our city,” Andritsch said.

In 2011, 255 women received prenatal care from Progressive Community Health Centers.

More than 21 percent of those patients were under age 20, according to Andritsch. More than 77 percent of their prenatal patients began care during their first trimester of pregnancy.

“Community health centers are critical to the future of health care,” Andritsch said. “Although health care is a very politically charged and contentious topic, community health centers have embraced bipartisan support since their inception.”

Group urges pizza boycott Labor practices lead to petition, protests, strike of Palermo’s

By Ben Greene benjamin.greene@marquette.edu

Over the summer, many of Palermo’s Pizza’s employees went on strike to protest against labor practices and for the establishment of a union. Now, Marquette students are joining workers in their efforts.

To impact the company financially, the former workers called for a national boycott of Palermo’s goods on July 29.

Voces de la Frontera, Wisconsin’s largest immigrant rights center, reached out to Marquette’s organization Youth Empowered in the Struggle, hoping the university will stop selling Palermo’s pizza in hall stores and at basketball games.

Marquette’s YES president, Sean Orr, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the organization is circulating a petition and leading a campus-wide boycott against Palermo’s pizza.

“Our first step is just building awareness and support for it on campus,” Orr said. “So we’ve started emailing faculty members to see if they’re willing to support us and we’ve started a petition among the student body to get them to sign up for it.” So far, he said, 12 faculty members have responded in support of the boycott.

“We want to raise this issue here at Marquette because we are a moral voice in Milwaukee as the Jesuit university of Milwaukee,” Orr said.

At the beginning of this summer, about 150 of the 220 employees at Palermo’s were allegedly threatened with termination for wanting to form a union. They therefore went on strike. About

YES is encouraging Marquette’s hall stores to stop selling Palermo’s pizza.

75 of the original 150 workers who walked out are still on strike and have subsequently been fired and replaced, Orr said.

Palermo’s Marketing Director Chris Dresselhuys recounted a different chain of events leading up to recent layoffs. Dresselhuys said the company was notified of an audit being conducted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February 2011 and that Palermo’s “turned over approximately 420 I-9 forms, dating back to 1986, to that government agency.”

Dresselhuys said this past May “the government informed Palermo’s that, in the absence of that additional information, that it was illegal for Palermo’s to continue to employ the people that the government had identified as being ineligible for employment in the U.S.” The former workers still plan to remain on strike and are confident

that their requests will be met.

Cheryl Maranto, chair of Marquette’s department of management and a PhD in labor relations, said there is no clear-cut timetable for this decision.

Maranto said the former workers have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to be represented by a union and vote for a representative to bargain collectively with Palermo’s. She said there is also an unresolved unfair labor practice charge against Palermo’s.

“Basically, now the company is saying they will be happy to abide by the workers’ wishes,” Maranto said. “However, given that they have fired many of the workers who want representation and are striking to get representation and they have replaced them with people who are coming in knowing they are replacing striking workers, the question before the NLRB is, ‘Who gets to vote?’”

Signature achievement of US history celebrated Panel discussed 225th anniversary of Constitution signing

By Alexandra Whittaker alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

The Marquette political science department discussed original intent, equal treatment and the living constitution at the panel event “What does it mean to stick to the Constitution?” Monday to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution. The yearly panel gathers students and staff to discuss issues relating to the Constitution and its implications in our society and political process.

The featured speakers included Marquette law professor Gordon Hylton, associate professor of political science John McAdams, law professor Edward Fallone and assistant professor of political science Paul Nolette.

McAdams opened the panel discussion in the Raynor Memorial Libraries by talking about equal treatment as defined by the Constitution and how vague it can be in modern America.

“Thieves are treated differently than non-theives,” said McAdams, pointing out that in order to be just, not everyone can necessarily be treated equally at all times.

Fallone discussed the original intent of the Constitution. He highlighted the differences between an originalist view of the document, which advocates a view more similar to that of the Framers, and the understanding of a living Constitution, which argues that the meaning of the Constitution should be judged in light of the modern world.

“This dichotomy (between originalists and a living constitution) is an illusion,” concluded Fallone, “and there is no choice between the extremes because both theories tend to meet in the middle in practice.”

“In almost every case,” Hylton said during his speech, “political views precede constitutional views.

People, for whatever reason, decide that what they believe should be the proper course the country should follow, and then they adopt a theory of a constitution that justifies that.”

Nolette discussed the point of a constitution in a world where sticking to it could cause an uproar.

“It sets forth the rules of the game.

The structures in which politics will take place,” Nolette said.

After the panelists talked about their interpretations of what sticking to the Constitution means, students were encouraged to voice their thoughts in an open discussion.

College of Arts & Sciences senior and student Joseph Dobbs asked the panel about succession in relation to the Constitution, and, much to the amusement of the panel and audience, how West Virginia shouldn’t technically be a state. Since it

became a state during the Civil War, it is questionable whether there was a legal basis for it to be admitted.

The panel discussion was a hit for attendees and professors in the political science department.

“It warmed my heart to see this many people are here to hear about and talk about the Constitution,” said associate professor and political science chair Lowell Barrington.

The students who attended the

event buzzed about the panel discussion, particularly about the integrity of the professors on the panel.

“Overall, I liked it,” said Parisa Shiraz, a freshman in the College of Education. “I liked how it was set up, and I like how they respect each other’s opinions even though they may clash.”

Paulo Acuna, a sophomore in the College of Communication, agreed.

Negotiations continue in teachers strike Chicago students begin second week outside the classroom

By Michael Tarn and Sophia Tareen Associated Press

An angry Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s appeal to the courts to end a six-day teachers strike in the nation’s third largest city set off a new round of recriminations Monday, but did little to end a walkout that has left parents scrambling and kept 350,000 students out of class.

It might not matter. By the time a Cook County Circuit Court judge considers the issue, the city’s teachers might well have voted to end the strike and recommend they agree to a tentative contract that labor and education experts — and even some union leaders elsewhere — called a good deal for the union.

“This was an enormously successful strike (thus far),” said Emily Rosenberg, director of the Labor Education Center at DePaul University in Chicago.

“I’ve never seen solidarity like this among teachers.”

The dust-up in court may never move past the 700-page brief filed by city attorneys that contends the strike is an illegal act that presents a danger to the health and safety of the district’s students. Judge Peter Flynn set a hearing for Wednesday, a day after the union is set to meet for a second time to discuss an offer than includes pay raises and concessions from the city on the contentious issues of teacher evaluations and job security.

The filing was indicative of how the union has perceived

Emanuel’s handling of the negotiations, and that may be the biggest remaining point of contention between the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union. The union immediately condemned Emanuel’s play in court, in which the city said “a vulnerable population has been cast adrift,” as an act of vindictiveness by a “bullying” mayor who was attempting to “thwart our democratic process.”

“It’s another bullying tactic that, unfortunately, if he wants teachers back in the schools, he should have stayed away from that type of action,” said Jay Rehak, a longtime high school English teacher. “It only incites, rather than tones down the rhetoric.”

Both sides have only released summaries of the proposed agreement. Outside observers said the tentative contract appears to be a win on the merits for the union and its roughly 25,000 teachers. While teachers in San Francisco haven’t gotten an across-the-board raise in years, for example, Chicago teaches are in line for a raises in each of the proposed deal’s three years with provisions for a fourth. In Cleveland, teachers recently agreed to the same kind of evaluation system based in part on student performance that Chicago has offered.

“The district went past the halfway mark,” said Kate Walsh, president of the National Council on Teacher Quality. “They got a pretty good deal.”

Some union members in Chicago have praised the school district’s move on what percentage of test scores will be factored into teacher evaluations, down from the 45 percent proposed to the 30 percent set as the minimum by state law. It also includes an appeals process

to contest evaluations. The new evaluations will also be phased in over the length of the contract.

That issue has been at the center of the contract talks and was noted in the lawsuit filed Monday, as city attorneys argued the strike is illegal because state law bars the union from striking on anything but economic issues — including evaluations. It’s an issue that takes time to resolve, said David Quolke, president of the teachers union in Cleveland, where implementing a similar evaluation system is taking place over four years.

“They have a mayor, frankly, who chose confrontation over collaboration,” Quolke said.

“Many politicians look at getting things done quickly rather than getting things done correctly.”

The tentative contract in Chicago calls for a 3 percent raise in its first year and 2 percent for two years after that, along with increases for experienced teachers. While many teachers are upset it did not restore a 4 percent pay raise Emanuel rescinded earlier this year, the contract if adopted will continue to make Chicago teachers among the highest-paid in the country. In Chicago, the starting salary is roughly $49,000 and average salary is around $76,000 a year.

While noting they stood in solidarity with their colleagues in Chicago, leaders of other teachers unions said that aspect of the deal looked good from afar. Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation in New Mexico, said teachers in New Mexico can’t negotiate salaries; in Albuquerque, the average teacher salary is roughly $43,000.

“It seems that they made gains, which was their goal,”

she said. “They did a good job coming to consensus on important issues.”

The city also won some things from the union in the proposed settlement. Emanuel gets the longer school day in Chicago he wanted and principals will have say over who gets hired at individual schools, something the union fought. The district will be required to give some preference to teachers who are displaced and the school district will have to maintain a hiring list and make sure that at least half of hires are displaced teachers.

“This is the deal we got,” union president Karen Lewis said Sunday.

The union and school leaders appeared headed for a resolution at the end of last week, saying they were optimistic that students would be back in class by Monday. But teachers meeting Sunday afternoon said they felt rushed after getting only a few hours to review a summary of the agreement worked out between the city and union leaders, and Lewis admitted for many teachers, the decision to wait until Tuesday to decide came down to a lack of trust in city hall and the school board.

Having had some more time to think it over, some teachers were optimistic the deal on the table was good enough to end the strike when the union meets again Tuesday afternoon.

“We made a lot of progress,” said Susanne McCannon, who teaches art at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School.

“I’d like to be back in the classroom, but I want to be back in the classroom with the best situation possible.”

they all provided many different ways of analyzing and explaining what it means to stick to the Constitution, especially the one where they split the two thoughts between originalism and living Constitution,” Acuna said.

“By all means, lets stick to the Constitution, but please,” said Fallone, “let’s also stop sticking it to the Constitution.”

Al’s Run: Race remembers Al McGuire Kal Penn: Focus on

affordable education

Since Briggs & Al’s Run and Walk began it has raised more than $14 million for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

prosthetic limb bank. Now, proceeds from the event go toward critical care, according to Stacy Bartsch, special events manager for the Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Marquette’s Running Club, Dental Associates and a Marquette University team were among the thousands of runners.

The teams placed in second, seventh and 10th place, respectively in the 8K race.

“It says a lot about Marquette because a lot of the teams that placed well in the event were from Marquette,” said Daniel Reiner, a runner for Marquette’s team and freshman in the College of Communication.

For many of the teams affiliated with Marquette, this event hits close to home. Legendary former Marquette basketball coach Al McGuire founded the Briggs & Al’s Run and Walk.

“Al McGuire’s name is all over

campus,” Reiner said. “Everyone in Milwaukee knows and loves him.”

For Lauren Peter, a senior in the College of Communication, participating in the event is a way to give support to a good cause.

Peter ran with her Alpha Xi Delta sorority sisters.

“Alpha Xi Delta is really involved in the community, and it’s so nice to do something as a sorority,” Peter said. “Running five miles for a good cause won’t hurt me.”

Bon-Ton Stores Inc. which owns Boston Store, the Briggs & Stratton Corporation and Whole Foods Market, been a sponsor of the walk for several years.

“As a member of the Milwaukee community for more than 100 years, we are committed to strengthening and supporting wonderful organizations like Children’s Hospital and the high level of care they provide,” the Briggs & Stratton website says.

“Briggs & Stratton believes in its responsibility to help make positive changes in the lives of children, and our partnership with Children’s Hospital helps us achieve that goal.”

Helping those in need holds great importance for many Marquette students and faculty, including Reiner, who said he has run and worked for other causes.

“I’ve done charity runs before, but I’ve never run such a long distance,” he said. “I wanted to push myself to the limit for this cause.”

Not only does the event bring attention to a good cause, it brings the community together, Reiner said.

“There were so many people who ran and walked, and I think that alone says a lot about (McGuire’s) legacy and the community,” he said.

Since accepting his political occupation, Penn’s acting career has been on hiatus. The actor’s move from Hollywood to Washington, D.C., led to the demise of his “House M.D.” character, Dr. Kutner, who was written out of the series in 2009 due to the actor’s new time commitment. At Marquette, he hardly referenced his acting and focused mostly on issues pertaining to the youth vote, such as the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which gave roughly 159,000 Wisconsin students a $2,100 tax credit on average toward tuition last year.

“I moved to D.C. for two years, and that’s when I got to see what the president was really like behind the scenes,” Penn said. “He is the exact same guy you see in front of the camera: incredibly smart, nice guy, very funny – all of that stuff is true. But in particular, I was really amazed at how much he stood up for young people, and that’s not something that I saw when I would turn on the TV. Whether it’s FOX or CNN or MSNBC or whatever it is, they tend to not cover stories that affect young people at all.”

Penn highlighted a story he heard from a friend on the White House’s economic team about a negotiation between Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner and President Obama as an example.

“Boehner said, ‘If you’re not willing to get rid of this tax credit that you’ve created, then it’s a non-starter – we’re not going to negotiate on anything else.’” Penn said. “So, the president stood up and he goes, ‘OK – well, I guess you guys get to explain to young

Americans why you don’t think that they should have a shot at a fair education unless they’re wealthy,’ and he walked out of the room.

I thought that was incredibly badass.”

Penn’s visit at Marquette caps his tour of Wisconsin universities, which also included stops at the University of Wisconsin campuses in Milwaukee, Whitewater, Madison, Oshkosh and Stevens Point. In addition to Wisconsin, Penn held student summits in 11 other swing states.

Marquette’s Students for Barack Obama and its Deputy Team Leader Margaret Grace, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, had a mere three days to coordinate space in the Alumni Memorial Union and get the word out about Penn’s visit after hearing from a campaign organizer that Penn would stop to speak at Marquette.

“It was a great speech. I got chills – I’m not going to lie,” Grace said. “It’s so nice when there are personal stories, like his friend who had to choose between eyeglasses and textbooks … and all of these things that have been made possible through the president – that he’s able to share that with us is pretty cool.”

Among those attending Penn’s appearance at Marquette was Alec Richard, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, who wasn’t there to simply be star struck.

“I didn’t really come here for (Penn),” Richard said. “I believe in Obama and I want to do whatever I can to help him get reelected.”

Last spring, the Department of Public Safety reported that robberies and vandalism were down on campus, but batteries and thefts were up. That trend continues, but with different numbers, according to DPS Cpt. Russell Shaw, who provided statistics to the Tribune pertaining to thefts, batteries and robberies around campus.

Batteries on campus continue to increase. From Jan. 1 to Aug.

21, 2011, there were 18 batteries and in the same period in 2012, that number doubled. Despite the large increase, 13 of those batteries took place during the summer. Shaw said people do not need to panic.

“That seems like a very alarming number, that increase,” Shaw said. “However, six were nonMarquette related batteries this summer. So almost half of the batteries that happened were nonMarquette affiliated batteries.”

Shaw said the increase in thefts from 115 to 154 in the January to August time period is mainly due to the rising number of bike thefts.

DPS reported that robberies on campus were decreasing last spring. That trend has continued.

From Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, 2011, there were 15 robberies. During that same time frame in 2012 there were nine.

“Anyone who was here last year would remember that we had a pretty big spike in robberies at the beginning of the school year, but this year has actually been really good,” Shaw said.

Last year, DPS started a new procedure for when a robbery takes place on or around campus. Now, when one of these crimes happens on campus, a text message and an email is sent to students to warn them of a threat on campus.

The new procedure was already put into action once, on Aug. 31, when an armed robbery took place in the 2300 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. Fewer students have used the LIMO service this year than last year. Between move-in day, Aug. 24, and Sept. 15 last year, 29,306 students who used the LIMO service. This year, 23,304 students used the LIMO service between move-in day, Aug. 22, and Sept. 13.

“To expedite transports, always be watching and waiting for your ride with your MUID out and ready to show the driver,” said Sgt. Daniel Kolosovsky, who is in charge of Student Safety Patrol.

Nursing: Simulated situations allow for realistic clinical experience courses with their instructors.

Kerry Goepfert, associate dean of the College of Nursing, said freshmen will typically begin to work at the center during the spring semester of their year and will increasingly use the facilities as their coursework advances.

The new simulation center, which aims to realistically imitate a hospital’s facilities, features a reception area, two exam rooms, a clinical skills laboratory, a medium fidelity skills laboratory, a six-bed hospital suite, an assisted living apartment, four debriefing rooms and a student lounge area. All of the rooms are video-monitored and wired with microphones so that instructors and students may view recordings of their interactions with the human-patient simulator.

Within the six-bed hospital suite are two surgical rooms, two intensive care rooms, a pediatric room and a delivery room. All of the rooms in the suite also feature a human simulator and one-way glass, hiding the adjacent control room where faculty can monitor student performance and control the simulations. The video footage gathered allows students and instructors to review and analyze the student’s interaction with the patient simulator in the debriefing room.

Goepfert said the main benefit of using the center’s humanpatient simulators is the ability to generate high-risk scenarios that students may not see during clinical training. Such scenarios provide students with the opportunity to learn how to properly respond to a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, in a controlled setting.

Over the years, the college has collected different models

of simulators, allowing for a diversity of ages and races, which Goepfert said will help students properly identify maladies common to specific ethnic groups.

The simulators can imitate a pupillary response, give birth, bleed, perspire and talk. They can also mimic strokes, seizures, cardiac arrests or a life-threatening reaction to a medication.

“We could have our students in a clinical environment 24 hours a day, seven days a week for their entire undergraduate career, and they still may not see some of these high-risk scenarios that they need to be educated for,” said College of Nursing Dean Mary Callahan. “That is the benefit of simulation.”

Goepfert emphasized that human-patient simulators are great learning tools for students because they can perform many

of the same medical procedures they would use on actual patients, such as drawing blood or taking vital signs.

“It’s OK to make a mistake down here (in the simulation center),” Goepfert said. “Because what we want to do is increase (the students’) ability to think and to act out there.”

Lynn Sheka, university communication manager for the Office of Marketing and Communication, said the new renovations come with a restructuring of

the curriculum in the nursing school to incorporate more “real life” applications and emphasize healthcare communication.

This year’s incoming freshmen will be the first class to use the revised curriculum. The renovations also allow for a larger class of up to 120 nursing students, beginning with this year’s freshmen nursing class.

As part of its agreement with the university, Wheaton Franciscan nurses and healthcare providers will be ensured an

annual 200 hours of clinical training at the new state-of-theart facility and have access to Marquette faculty and evaluation mechanisms to help train its own staff.

Goepfert said the money needed for the remodeling was raised within one year and the entire renovation was completed summer.

So far, reaction to the new facility has been positive. Goepfert said that students have been “blown away” by the facilities.

Christina Lindsay, a junior in the College of Nursing, echoed Goepfert’s excitement for the renovations.

“It’s amazing – the new facilities are awesome. It looks just like a hospital, the rooms are really spacious and the mannequins are really cool,” Lindsay said.

Not all news is bad news

Photo Ben Curtis/Associated Press

U.S. envoy Chris Stevens speaks to local media at the Tibesty Hotel where an African Union delegation was meeting with opposition leaders in Benghazi, Libya on April 11, 2011.

Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001?

Like most college-age students, you were probably in an elementary school classroom trying to understand what you were seeing on the television. You may have seen your teachers or principal crying. After school, you probably saw your parents holding back tears as they were glued to the nightly news that evening. Most significantly, you probably felt empathy.

In the wake of the recent anniversary of 9/11 and the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, we began to reflect on how this country reacts to tragedy. Unfortunately, we found that people are often far too concerned with placing blame rather than giving victims and family members the solemn respect they deserve.

On Sept. 12, 2001, we came together and truly were America. We were mourning for the victims and their families.

We were not seeking to blame liberals or conservatives for what had happened.

The blame eventually found its way to war in the Middle East, where thousands of innocent people have paid the ultimate price for the actions of a few.

When Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, the blame immediately fell on the Bush administration for failing to handle the situation properly. We agree that at least some of this blame was warranted, but that’s not even what is most concerning now. More than 1,800 people died in Katrina, about half of the number of casualties of 9/11. But do these victims get half of the amount of respect that others give on Sept. 11 each year?

Nowhere near it. The devastation of Aug. 29, 2005, remains largely forgotten, clouded with the hush of negative politics everyone would rather not think about. Were these victims not equally innocent, equally American?

In 2011, when former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Tucson, Ariz., people immediately began to overlook the catastrophe that 18 people were shot and six of them were killed. Rather,

many were blaming politicians on the conservative side. Did we really think Sarah Palin was responsible for the shooting? Would this shooting have received less attention if it had been a Republican shot in the head? These were some of the questions circulating, perhaps even more prominently than the wonders about whether Giffords and the others would survive.

When faced with the recent horrors that occurred in Aurora, Colo. and Oak Creek, the nation mourned briefly for the shooting victims but then jumped right into a nationwide shouting match about gun control. Obviously the issue needed attention and discussion, but didn’t these people deserve more respect? Were their deaths only worth becoming a talking point for political policy?

And finally, when the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed last week, the most recent high profile American death instantly became a partisan issue. Just after news of the attack broke, the Romney campaign delivered a premature statement falsely accusing President Obama of apologizing to the people attacking U.S. embassies in Libya and Egypt. In reality, however, the U.S. Embassy in Egypt’s statement (not Obama’s) had come before the killing of Stevens and the other American diplomats and had simply condemned the religious intolerance exhibited in a film produced in the U.S. that was offensive to Muslims. In the midst of an election season and with four embassy officials dead, candidates are attempting to take any hit they can to smear the other’s reputation.

It’s time to stop politicizing tragedy for personal gain. Politics obviously have a place in all of these events, and political responses must in turn be examined, but these events merit compassion first and foremost. We cannot allow political banter to take away from the honor and the mourning these people deserve. We should use these times to strive for unity and progress, not division and hatred.

Caroline Campbell I am going to be honest with you. It can be very hard to find positive things in the world today. Just last week, we observed the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — arguably the most defining event of our generation. We saw a teacher’s strike carry into its second week in Chicago and we watched violence escalate in the Middle East as more negative attacks on a culture angered and saddened people around the world.

On Saturday morning, when I opened the Wall Street Journal, my heart hurt to see nearly three whole pages dedicated to that most recent violence. In a world full of hate, misunderstanding and anger, it can be hard to find things that shine light in our lives. Sometimes we have to search a little bit to find good news today, but it’s worth doing every once in a while.

I did a little searching and found that there are others out there like me who are searching for something to warm their hearts or make them smile or simply give them a little more confidence in the state of the world.

There is a website, happynews.com, devoted entirely to positive, real news stories. Run by citizen journalists, Happy News aims to “lift spirits and inspire lives.” It finds uplifting stories from other reputable news sources and

compiles them in one place. I will definitely be adding it to my list of sites to check daily. If you’re not sold on it yet, check the site out. I found one story there from this summer about a 70-yearold man who survived being trapped in the Austrian Alps for almost a week by eating a chocolate bar. According to the story, one of the first things he wanted after being rescued was a beer and a shot of lemonade. It’s a triumphant story that brought a smile to my face.

That story is definitely not of global importance. The man did not end war or cure cancer, but positive stories like his bring a ray of hope into the world when it can seem so full of despair.

Another source for news to bring a smile to your face is the Huffington Post’s “Good News” blog. While it first looks like a site entirely dedicated to cute animal pictures, there are definitely some happy news stories to be found. Last week there was a story about the last victim of the Aurora, Colo., shootings being released from the hospital. Another story that shed some light on the darkness of last week’s violence was about a peace march in Libya after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

Why can’t this positive news be reported more prominently for us to see? We need to see that, while there is definitely bad in the world, good also exists. It’s undercover and quiet, so it doesn’t make the front page, but maybe it should.

I’m not saying the big news stories should be ignored just because they’re not “happy.” All I’m saying is that, when you get overwhelmed with the state of the world, remember that there are good people out there. Not all news is bad, so take a moment to find something to lift your spirits and brighten your days when they seem too dark. caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

Tribune 11

reader submission

A lesson in common sense I’m a small town girl from the tourist-y town of Lake Geneva, Wis. The most scandalous “crime” I’ve experienced is watching a Chicago vacationer steal a parking spot from right out in front of me.

Milwaukee is … an adjustment. My first weekend on campus, my roommates and I took a bus to a restaurant.

Well, we tried to take a bus to a restaurant. We ended up taking a bus to a sketchy neighborhood on the north side. I vaguely remember seeing this part of Milwaukee on the news about a week ago for a shooting.

I remained relatively calm until a car cruised past us with its windows down. The music inside was pumping and a passenger “cat-called” to us – a comment I choose to forget.

My roommates and I managed to escape the situation not with our sheer wits, but with my iPhone (thank God for the free compass app) and my roommate’s boyfriend, who coached us over the phone.

I’m sure you could tell last week was Sexual Violence Awareness Week from all of the teal ribbons decorating campus. Well, being the eager freshman that I am and with the memory of this recent experience in my mind, I headed to the self-defense class offered by Department of Public Safety.

Time for a confession: I was the only one to show up (besides a photographer for the Tribune). Although incredibly awkward, I learned a few valuable lessons. Not just moves (although my arm jab could put even officer Joe

Secanky to shame), but this little thing called common sense. I guess I never had to learn street smarts growing up in a town known as “the Hamptons of the Midwest.”

So here are a few tips for all of you out there who were too afraid to show up to the self-defense class (I know you are out there!): 1) Know the bus route you need to take ahead of time. You probably already knew this — my friends and I did not.

2) If you end up in an area you do not feel safe in, go to the nearest business or well-lit area. Self-explanatory. Go where there are witnesses.

3) If a person is walking toward you and your gut sends you a bad vibe, cross the street to the other side.

Always trust your instincts. They

are there for a reason.

4) If a person approaches you and demands your belongings, surrender them.

But don’t hand them to the person, throw them on the ground to the side. This will allow you a few seconds to escape.

The next self-defense class will be on Oct. 22 at 5:00 p.m. in the AMU. This free session will delve into all of the ninja moves I learned and will include free rape whistle. Did I mention the class is free?

Officer Joe and I hope to see you there.

Otherwise, it’s just going to be another awkward hour of one-on-one elbow punches and groin kicks.

GOODMAN: Dealing with the discomfort of panhandling

By Brooke Goodman brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

No matter how many times it happens it still never seems quite okay.

Let me explain.

Late Sunday night, a friend and I were sitting outside of my apartment building chatting about British accents (don’t ask) when a man approached us asking for money. The man pleaded that he was in need of food and asked for six or seven dollars. I didn’t have any cash on me, so I said that I unfortunately could not help him. After a pause, my friend took out his wallet – which held two twenty dollar bills and a single – and handed the man a dollar. As he went to put his wallet away, the man caught sight of the twenty dollar bills and continued to ask for more money.

MANNO: The dreaded desert island question

By Tony Manno anthony.manno@marquette.edu

I’ve really never liked that question: “If you could have only one (blank) on a desert island, what would it be?” No, No! Why do you make me imagine this happening? Why don’t you just ask me my favorites?! Once in a while, though, I have to give in and answer.

And my first reaction is to answer honestly: “I’d rather just avoid this altogether!” But we tend to insist with these little riddles. So here’s a packing list for my stranding that’s sure to happen at some point soon:

Unfair and unbalanced.

Sassy and spunky.

Funny and punny.

Ranking the top 5 Big East coaches Michael LoCicero When Connecticut men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun announced his retirement Thursday, it marked the end of one of the most storied coaching careers in Big East and NCAA coaching history.

Calhoun, 70, retires with 873 wins, good for No. 6 all-time, and will be replaced by assistant coach Kevin Ollie, effective immediately.

Calhoun won three national championships, nine Big East regular-season and seven Big East Tournament titles, and he was inducted into the NCAA Hall of Fame in 2005.

The Huskies’ leader was at times a polarizing figure who was never afraid to speak his mind. He battled cancer three times during his tenure at Connecticut and recently served a suspension for a recruiting violation that threatened to tear the program apart.

Calhoun is one of the legends of our conference, and his retirement got me thinking about other coaches who have made their mark in the Big East. I present the top five coaches in Big East men’s basketball history: Editor’s note: Marquette has only been part of the Big East since 2005. The conference has been around since 1979, so relax when you don’t see any Marquette coaches on this list. #1 – Jim Boeheim, Syracuse Boeheim has been the head coach of the Orange since 1976 and has compiled an 890-305 record in his 35 years at the helm.

His 890 wins are good for the No. 3 mark all-time, behind only Mike Krzyzewski and Bobby Knight. His 355 Big East conference wins are the best in the conference’s history.

He has won one national championship while appearing in two others. His Orange have also won nine Big East regular season championships and five Big East Tournament titles and made 28 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Boeheim has been named Big East coach of the year four times.

Marquette bounces back with two-win weekend

Cross COUNTRY

Runner keeps law, racing in balance Leverington chose MU over Madison for academic prestige

By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

Tyler Leverington was sitting in class at Marquette’s law school Friday when he started to receive text messages from his teammates on the cross-country team about a bomb scare at North Dakota State.

For the next hour, Leverington reached out to friends to make sure they were safe at the place he called home the last five years.

Leverington moved to Milwaukee after deciding to attend law school at Marquette and use up his last year of NCAA eligibility to run for the Golden Eagles in the 2013 outdoor track season.

The decision was based 95 percent on academics and 5 percent on athletics, as he chose Marquette over Wisconsin-Madison in the very end of his decision process.

The law student has fit in well with his new teammates and sees a lot of similarities in the way the programs of North Dakota State and Marquette run.

“The atmosphere for both teams is pretty similar,” Leverington

said. “Both are a lot of fun and made up of a laid-back group of guys, but when it’s time to get down to business, we all get serious and get the job done.”

Balancing law school and athletics is no easy task, but coach Mike Nelson sees running as an opportunity for Leverington to escape from his studies for a few hours and use it as a stress relief.

Through his interactions with the team, Leverington has added to the senior leadership of captains Jack Senefeld and Patrick Maag. “(Leverington) has only been here a matter of weeks, but a lot of the guys are already looking up to him and asking questions about law school or running at North Dakota State,” Nelson said.

“He has stepped into a different leadership role, but he’s a very positive example for our guys to follow along.”

Leverington was granted a sixth year of NCAA eligibility after suffering four stress fractures in his time with the Bison. He has made a full recovery and is healthy enough to participate in workouts with the cross-country team, but he cannot compete in a Marquette uniform until the 2013 outdoor track season.

He has spent the last few weeks See Balance, page 15

Senior Midfielder Aly Miller scored a goal for Marquette against George Mason, helping Roeder’s squad to 5-2-1.

Women ready for Big East play after beating Pitt, George Mason

By Kyle Doubrava kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s soccer team rebounded from a difficult road stretch at North Carolina and Duke and turned in two straight productive efforts at Pittsburgh and at home against George Mason last weekend.

The No. 24 Golden Eagles marched out of Pittsburgh with a 5-1 victory Thursday night and shut out George Mason on Sunday, 2-0, in what was Marquette’s last non-conference game of the regular season.

Senior Rachel Brown, juniors Maegan Kelly, Kate Reigle and Ashley Stemmeler and sophomore Mady Vicker all scored in the Pittsburgh romp.

The Golden Eagles scored both of their goals in the second half of the George Mason win – a header from senior Ally Miller in the 50th minute and an empty net score by junior Taylor Madigan in the 61st minute.

Head coach Markus Roeders was satisfied with how his team recovered after defeats to No. 2 Duke

and No. 12 North Carolina, two national powerhouse programs.

“Especially against Pittsburgh, we overwhelmed them with our play,” Roeders said. “The benefit of playing Duke and North Carolina really showed in that game. Maybe it didn’t show quite as much today, but at the end of the day you still have to be happy with the result. We got two goals and we got a shutout.”

The Golden Eagles stifled George Mason on defense, allowing just three shots and keeping possession on their own half of the field for a large majority of the match. The Patriots had several breakaway chances but either lost control of possession or could not find an immediate clear shot. George Mason dropped to 4-5-0 after the loss.

Although Sunday’s win was against a non-conference foe, Miller said the teams needs to treat every non-conference match like a Big East match in order to prepare for competition that has much heavier significance.

“Same mindset all the way through,” Miller said. “We want to win and we know that every team is out to get us. We have a target on our back just by having a high standing in the country.

Every team will be out for blood against us, so we have to come out knowing that and get the win.”

Roeders shares the same mentality and added that these kinds of games can easily be labeled “trap games” because of the anticipation of looking ahead to conference play.

“Once conference starts you just focus on conference play and the meaning behind it,” Roeders said.

“When you’re in that fold and try to go back or step sideways and play a non-conference opponent, no matter if it’s at home or on the road, it can get a little tricky.

You don’t like to see any mental letdowns, but I give them a lot of credit for coming out today and putting their best step forward.”

Ahead for Marquette is yet another road swing. The Golden Eagles will spend the weekend in New Jersey as they resume conference play against Seton Hall on Friday and No. 16 Rutgers on Sunday.

Miller realizes how important these upcoming games are and stresses that the team needs to carry this momentum for as long as possible.

“We’ve been playing very well the last three years in the Big East, and we’re just going to keep that going,” Miller said.

“Every game in the Big East is a big game, and every opponent is really strong, so we’ll have to play our best.”

the facts: The Golden Eagles will play the second match of their New Jersey road trip against a very formidable Rutgers squad. The Scarlet Knights were ranked 16th in the nation before falling to 21st after a 1-0 loss to Georgetown and a 2-1 overtime loss to Villanova. Rutgers sits at 7-3 and has only scored 15 goals in its first ten games, but if the Golden Eagles take an early lead, they must be sure to close out. The Scarlet Knights have scored 13 goals in the second half, led by the astonishing offensive prowess of Jonelle Filigno. Filigno sits alone at the top of Rutgers’s stat sheet with eight goals and 18 points overall.

GOlf

Top 5: Like him or not, Rick Pitino makes the cut

Sanchez, Prickette lead in N.Y.

The Orange have also played in either the NCAA Tournament or National Invitation Tournament every year Boeheim has been the head coach. #2 Calhoun The stats are at the beginning of the column, but since he began his tenure at Connecticut in 1986, he has turned the Huskies into a national power.

Just two years ago, Connecticut finished ninth in the Big East and went on to win the national championship. The win over Butler made Calhoun, 68 at the time, the oldest coach to win an NCAA Championship.

It also gave Calhoun his third NCAA title, joining the likes of John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Bob Knight and Kryzyzewski as the only coaches to win at least three national championships. Think that’s some good company?

Calhoun spent the first 14 years of his coaching career at Northeastern and in 1999 became the first coach to win at least 240 games at two different Division 1 schools. #3 John Thompson Jr., Georgetown Thompson took over the Hoyas in 1972 and became the first African American head coach to win a major collegiate championship when his team won the NCAA title in 1984, beating Houston 8475.

Thompson retired in 1999 with 596 wins and was inducted into the Hall of Fame that same year.

His teams made three Final Four appearances and won five Big East regular season and tournament titles.

Thompson was named Big East coach of the year three times and had 26 of his players drafted in the NBA. After Georgetown joined the Big East in 1979 as one of its founding members, Thompson led the Hoyas to either the NCAA or NIT Tournament every year until he resigned in 1999.

The Hoyas made 14 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 1979-1992 under Thompson.

#4 Lou Carnesecca, St. John’s The charismatic Carnesecca took the Redmen (now Red Storm) on quite the ride during his 24 seasons at the helm. He won 526 games in 24 seasons from 1965-1992 and went to the Final Four in 1985.

Carnesecca was also chosen as the National Coach of the Year twice and in 2004 the Red Storm’s on-campus court was renamed Carnesecca Arena.

Carnesecca, a graduate of St. John’s, won six Big East titles in his 24 seasons.

People say Notre Dame playing well is good for college football.

Well, St. John’s playing well is good for college basketball, and the Red Storm will be there again soon. #5 Rick Pitino, Louisville and Providence Yes, Rick Pitino makes this list because I’m the writer and what I say goes. The Cardinals joined the Big East the same year Marquette did, but can you give me a better option?

Pitino began his coaching career as an assistant at Hawaii in 1974 and has spent an unsuccessful amount of time in the NBA along with an extremely successful amount of time at Louisville and Providence, as well as Kentucky.

Pitino became the head coach of the Friars in 1985 after a stint as an assistant coach with the New York Knicks. In just two years, Pitino took a team that went 11-20 the year before he arrived to the Final Four.

He then left for Kentucky, where he won his only national championship in 1996. The Wildcats then went to the national championship the following season before Pitino moved on to the NBA again.

Louisville named Pitino its coach in 2001, and he led the Cardinals to the Final Four last season.

I’d love to hear about other coaches you thought I left out.

Senior Ryan Prickette finished second for MU at the McLaughlin but said Marquette needed to be aggressive.

Freshman headlines average start for young Golden Eagles

By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s golf team started its 2012-13 season at The McLaughlin in Old Bethpage, N.Y., finishing in 12th place out of 16 teams.

It was the first NCAA tournament action seen by four members of coach Steve Bailey’s squad, and while the tournament showed that the team still has a lot of room to grow, Bailey was quick to take positives from the weekend.

One of those positives came in the form of freshman Patrick Sanchez leading the Golden Eagles with an overall score of 217.

Sanchez finished in a tie for 31st place, firing a 70 in the second round while staying at even-par with a 72 in the first before struggling in the third with a 75. Sanchez said his finish left him with an increased sense of responsibility, and he was happy to have the

opportunity to lead the team early.

“It feels great to represent Marquette like that right off the bat,” Sanchez said. “I like the other guys on the team, and it meant a lot to get out there and lead the team so early in the season.”

Sanchez said the course had more hills than the team is accustomed to and as a result he felt his physical game was a little off.

“It wasn’t the best weekend for me physically, but I thought I had a good mental game,” Sanchez said. “In the second round after the first eight holes I thought going up to the 18th and birdieing on that hole to get me back even was a high point.”

Sanchez pointed out that the Golden Eagles should focus on learning where to miss shots in certain situations.

“If we miss in the wrong spots it puts us in tough positions down the stretch,” Sanchez said.

Senior Ryan Prickette also said that while the team’s initial conservative approach to the course was appropriate, it held the team back overall.

“We had a good game plan, our

strategy was pretty conservative, but I feel like we could’ve been a lot more aggressive and taken more advantage of our birdie opportunities,” Prickette said.

Birdies were indeed tough to come by for the majority of the weekend, and Bailey said it held the team back from finishing higher.

“It was an average performance overall, and if we had converted on some more birdies, we would’ve been more successful,” Bailey said. “It’s just a matter of making more putts in key situations, and I feel like if we do that this weekend in Chicago we should be fine.”

Putting has historically been an issue for the Golden Eagles as Bailey has said in the past, and with plenty of new faces on the roster, the team believes that as the season goes on the kinks will need to be hammered out.

Prickette said he was impressed with the younger players’ performances for the most part and that the first tournament was a big step toward growth as a team.

Marquette will get its next shot to improve this weekend at the Windon Memorial Classic in Glencoe, Ill.

Women’s volleyball goes 2-1 in Marquette Invitational weekend

By Patrick Leary patrick.leary@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s volleyball team defeated its crosstown rival Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2225, 25-18, 25-16, 25-10) Saturday night en route to a 2-1 performance in the Marquette Invitational at the Al McGuire Center.

The Golden Eagles also swept Iowa (25-18, 25-14, 25-18) Saturday afternoon and fell to Pacific in a tight five set match (25-23, 21-25, 25-22, 20-25, 9-15) Friday. The team improved to 9-3.

“We didn’t play like ourselves,” junior libero Julie Jeziorowski said of the weekend’s matches. “What defeated us was the mental game, because we were definitely more physical than Pacific. But we figured it out by actions. That was the only way we could show our confidence. Once we established that, we got it going again.”

In the rivalry game against Milwaukee, Marquette started slowly, dropping only its second first set in 12 matches this season. But in the second set, the team responded and followed it up with perhaps its three most impressive sets of the season.

“We finally lost a first set and actually responded,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “We know what we want to do as coaches, but it’s not really up to us, it’s up to

the team. Can we have that first set intensity and urgency and hunger every single set and not let it go down on us?”

A big reason the team responded so well was the second set explosion from senior right side hitter Holly Mertens. She hit .900 in the frame with nine kills on ten attacks.

“I thought Holly was exceptional tonight,” Shymansky said.

“She was really devastating on the backside attack, and we need that.

That’s a big part of our offensive system.”

Mertens felt she needed to rise to the occasion in an important rivalry match.

“It felt great,” Mertens said.

“We’re kind of playing for our territory here in Milwaukee. I just went out and wanted to fight hard.

Me and Bisky (junior setter Elizabeth Koberstein) had a connection going that I don’t think anybody could stop.”

However, heading into Big East play next weekend, the question of whether the team can play at an elite level for five sets still looms large.

“We just have to be a lot tougher and a little more steely at the end of tight matches like that,” Shymansky said. “We ran out of steam there. That’s stuff that we’re going to have to work on as a coaching staff to make sure our team is better prepared for those moments.”

Shymansky conceded that the recent losses to Pacific and Northern Iowa showed problems in his team’s overall endurance.

“Are we really five-game ready?”

Shymansky said. “Are we really physically, mentally and technically ready to be great in the fifth set, not just in the first set? The answer to that right now is no. We have to figure that out really fast.”

Jeziorowski certainly looks capable of shouldering the load late on in tight matches. She shined in the weekend’s matches, recording more than 25 digs in each of the three contests. However, she gave a lot of the credit to the quality blocking of her teammates.

“When the defense is good, it’s more frustrating to the opposing team,” Jeziorowski said. “Defense isn’t only about the digs. Our block is setting up really pretty blocks, so its easy to see around them and know where to go. Then the ball just comes to us.”

Shymansky loves the advantage Jeziorowski gives his team.

Her play continues to garner increasing attention and respect from opponents.

“We see more and more teams trying to play keep-away from her,” Shymansky said. “They don’t serve the ball to her, they don’t hit the ball to her, they don’t want her to play the first contact in any way, shape or form. She’s starting to gobble up more and more court, and we need that.”

Overall, the weekend tournament impressed Shymansky and provided the team with some building blocks as it enters Big East play.

“We played tough at times, and we played really high and hit really hard at times, and that’s the hallmark for our program,” he said.

He won the Tosafest 5K on Sept.

During the past few weeks, Leverington has been running 80-85 miles a week. He discussed a race plan prior to Al’s Run, but he admits that these road races are used to assess his fitness.

Jack Hackett was the Marquette’s top 1500-meter runner in 2012 but will now have company

as Leverington joins the team with a personal best just one second behind him.

Leverington and Hackett have given thought to possibly moving up in distance to the 5,000-meter run, but Rogers believes he could add depth to the mid-distance group.

“I’m looking forward to (Leverington) making a positive impact right away,” Rogers said. “I could imagine him being a potential relay guy, 5K runner, and distances in that area. I think his best events are in that 1,500-meter range.”

Leverington may only have one season left to run, but as he looks ahead he plans to remain close to the program by working out with the guys or even serving as volunteer coach.

“Running is a sport but it’s also a lifestyle,” Leverington said. “Once you’re into it this deep, I feel like you don’t do it as competitively, but at the same level. You do it to some degree for the rest of your life or as long as you’re physically able to.”

Defender gets weekly honor for three goals in two big victories

By Matt Trebby matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

At 6-foot-7, defender Axel Sjoberg expects to score goals. But prior to Friday’s game against Michigan, he had yet to ripple the back of the net this season.

So the redshirt freshman promptly scored two against the Wolverines and then the game winner at Michigan State on Sunday afternoon in double overtime.

After those three goals, Sjoberg is now tied for the team lead in points with junior defensive midfielder Eric Pothast. Both players

have three goals and two assists, with all six goals coming from set piece situations.

Sjoberg was named National Player of the Week by TopDrawerSoccer.com and College Soccer News, and the center back was also named the Big East Offensive Player of the Week.

On Friday, Michigan midfielder Tyler Arnone gave the visitors the lead in the 45th minute, 32 seconds before halftime. Then Sjoberg scored in the 51st minute with a free header off a corner from junior Paul Dillon, and then again in the 63rd, putting in a back heel off a shot by freshman John Pothast.

“It took a little bit of time for me to get into the goal scoring, but we’ve always been really dangerous on set pieces,” Sjoberg said after Friday night’s win. “I’ve just

Making a living as a professional basketball player outside the NBA can take you all over the world.

Since leaving Marquette as the school’s all-time leading scorer, Jerel McNeal is well traveled.

McNeal graduated in 2009, then played with the Sacramento Kings’ summer league team and the Los Angeles Clippers that preseason.

He played for the Chicago Bulls in the 2010 Summer League before heading to the NBA Developmental League’s Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

In 40 games, McNeal averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 assists, and 4.2 rebounds.

After an injury to Chris Paul, Mc-

Neal signed a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Hornets in March of 2011. He did not make an appearance while on the active roster and did not have his contract extended.

Then McNeal played for Dexia Mons-Hainaut in Belguim for one season. He averaged 15.3 points per game but was released after testing positive for marijuana.

McNeal played for Sutor Basket Montegranaro last season in Italy and was invited to the Toronto Raptors’ training camp for this season.

If all goes well, McNeal will be the eighth Marquette player in the NBA this season. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

been waiting for the goals and I got two today. It’s a great feeling.”

On Sunday, Marquette took the lead against Michigan State when senior forward Andy Huftalin headed home a cross from Dillon.

Huftalin has scored in three of the team’s last four games and has impressed with his endless work rate and instincts in the 18-yard box.

“He definitely gives us a boost when he’s on the field,” said junior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka.

“He works really hard and he knows how to get in good spots in the box or around it.”

After sophomore Adam Montague equalized for the Spartans in the 63rd minute, Michigan State had Blake Skamiera sent off after stomping on Dillon after a slide tackle. Marquette played the rest of the match with

a man advantage.

Ciesiulka said while playing with the extra man can be helpful, the team had to stay patient and wait for the breakthrough to come.

“We definitely want to put an emphasis on keeping the ball when we have that man up, just being patient and waiting for good opportunities,” Ciesiulka said.

“We just tried to move the ball around and let the play come to us instead of rushing things.”

After a lot of waiting, the winner came in the 108th minute when Sjoberg headed Ciesiulka’s corner kick into the top corner. It was the team’s first overtime win of the season and clinched an unbeaten start heading into Big East play next Saturday.

After scoring the majority of its goals from open play last season, Marquette has scored six from

corner kicks and free kicks already this season.

Bennett said while Sjoberg’s height draws opponents’ attention, he also credits both Eric and John Pothast for completing a trio that is nearly impossible for opponents to mark.

“He attracts a lot of attention, but both Pothast boys are very good in the air in their own right,” Bennett said. “So if you put your best header of the ball on one of them, how are you going to mark the other two? Then we have all types of people scurrying around to find the second phase ball.”

Nevertheless, Bennett said his team is not dependent on set pieces. Marquette will get to prove its all-around attacking prowess in Big East play, starting on Saturday night at Valley Fields against DePaul.

Hernani picked up the three wins for the Golden Eagles.

The women’s side had a better Friday, as the doubles team defeated Xavier 4-1 and the singles team scored a 4-2 win over Detroit.

Saturday morning saw the women drop a 2-1 decision to Western Michigan in doubles before defeating Xavier 5-3 in the singles round.

Collins picked up Marquette’s lone victory in a 5-1 singles loss to DePaul while the sophomore duo of Cameron Tehrani and James Stark scored a doubles win in a 2-1

loss to Ball State.

Collins and Teofanovic started off Marquette’s Sunday with a win in a 2-1 doubles loss to DePaul, while Detroit swept the women’s team in doubles.

Later the men dropped a 6-1 decision to Wisconsin with Stark picking up the only win, while sophomores Vanessa Foltinger and Ana Pimienta and freshmen Erin Gebes and Laia Hernandez Soler picked up wins for the women in a 5-2 victory over Western Michigan.

TENNIS Brief The Marquette tennis teams finished up play in the Milwaukee Tennis Classic Sunday with two athletes, junior Logon Collins and junior Rocio Diaz, taking home the Mulcahy Sportsmanship Award.
