The Wire explains: faculty research Ethical guidelines affect whether faculty gets, keeps funds By Devi Shastri

Tase said this marked increase in pedestrian traffic toward the western edge of campus has been good for his business. “Judging by what a lot of my bar staff say, because they

Biological sciences faculty member Robert Fitts has researched muscle fatigue at Marquette for 40 years. His first three decades as a researcher were funded by NASA, where he worked with rats and humans to understand the impact of space flight on muscle tissue. This year, he and the department of physical therapy’s Sandra Hunter are using a five-year, $2.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to research the effects of exercise-training on muscle aging. Their proposal is one of only eight percent of applications that the NIH National Institute on Aging approved for funding, Fitts said. Now that their research has been funded, Hunter and Fitts will be held to high standards of ethical responsibility by NIH and Marquette. As Hunter explained in an email, the research will require working with human patients – studying their subjects’ muscle tissue and nervous system, and having them do different exercise regimens to see the impact on their brain and muscles. “Therefore, as for all studies conducted on people, we needed this research and the techniques to be approved by the human ethics committee (Institutional Review Board) here at Marquette,” Hunter said in an email. “The magnetic resonance spectroscopy will be conducted in a large magnet at Froedtert (& the Medical College of Wisconsin) and we have ethical approval from MCW as well.” As it turns out, when it

Near West Side Partners and its Marquette representatives met Wednesday and discussed

initiatives to revitalize the neighborhoods surrounding campus. NWSP works to rejuvenate and sustain businesses and residences in the seven neighborhoods that make up the Near West Side region. The region’s boundaries are defined by Highway 41 on the west, I-43 on the east, I-94 on the south and Vilet Street and Highland Boulevard on the north. The forum, open to the

Marquette community, included an eight-person panel consisting of: -Dan Bergen, assistant director of university apartments and off-campus student services -Kelsey Otero of Marquette’s Social Innovation Initiative -Patrick Kennelly, director of Marquette’s Center for Peacemaking -Zack Wallace, Marquette Student Government president -Amber Wichowsky, assistant

professor of political science -Sherri Walker, program associate of Marquette’s Center for Peacemaking -Kelly Walker, coordinator for Marquette’s community service programs -Keith Stanley, executive director of Near West Side Partners, Inc. and Avenues West Association After University President See NWS, Page 3

MUPD creates ‘westward expansion’ Tase said he has noticed a significant amount of foot traffic between 21st and 22nd St., which he says is much more than he saw during his time as a student. “Having gone to school here, which wasn’t even that long ago, I noticed it right away, seeing that much more foot traffic going past the Channel 12 station (on 19th and Wells Streets),” Tase said. “Everyone

used to stop at the end of 19th, and that was it.”

Since the formation of the Marquette Police Department last May, several businesses

have noticed an increase in the amount of students venturing further west off-campus. Aldo Tase is the current owner of Harp and Shamrock, a bar on 21st and Wells Streets, and a 2011 alumnus of the College of Engineering. He said that when he was a student at Marquette, 19th Street was considered the edge of campus, and hardly anyone would dare cross that line.
