The vacant lots around Marquette University are being transformed into homes for cherry, apple, plum and

peach trees. When Stark Bros Nurseries & Orchards Co. donated 7,000 fruit trees to Growing Power, Milwaukee County adopted the nonprofit into its food program that was passed June 25. The new program called Sowing, Empowering and Eliminating Deserts of Food (SEED) involves collaboration and partnerships with several nonprofits including Growing Power, Hunger Task Force and

University of WisconsinExtension. Through a threepart approach, Milwaukee County hopes to address the issue of food deserts and food insecurity. According to Milwaukee County Supervisor Jason Haas, UW-Extension will take on nutrition education. “Nutrition education makes a big difference in fighting malnutrition and hunger in all corners of the county,” Haas said

in an email. “It is a key part of eliminating food deserts.” UW-Extension is directly funded by Milwaukee County. Hunger Task Force received a grant of $68,200 to purchase and implement a mobile micro market. Julie Frinzi, communications manager at Hunger Task Force, said the grand opening of the mobile market is coming soon.

When the Marquette soccer schedule is released, the Milwaukee Cup is always a match to circle. The matchup, featuring crosstown rivals Marquette and UW-Milwaukee, is as competitive as ever thanks to the Golden Eagles’ rising program prestige. Marquette looks to retain the trophy Thursday night at Engelmann Field. The Milwaukee Cup, founded in 1973, has historically been dominated by the Panthers. UWM has won 28 to Marquette’s 11, but the Golden Eagles have fared well in recent years. They’ve won four of the last seven matchups. “Throughout the world, soccer is about derbies,” Marquette head coach Louis Bennet said. “You go to Argentina, Spain, Italy, England — it’s Manchester City blue or Manchester United red… There are people in the city that are either one or the other.” “Winning the cup is having a part of local college history,” Bennett explained. Last season Marquette won 2-0 at Valley Fields thanks to first half goals from then-redshirt freshman Jack Alberts and then-redshirt junior C. Nortey. The shutout was the fourth in a run of six straight blank sheets. This year’s match will be set across town, as the series switches universities each year. The last time the visiting team raised the Cup was in 2010. “After competing in my first Milwaukee Cup last year, I have experienced that it is not just a derby match.” redshirt senior David Selvaggi said in an email. “It brings the entire Milwaukee community together for a great game. What the Milwaukee Cup means to me is having the honor and opportunity to have the chance to be the best team in Milwaukee and have the bragging rights.”

First year as a

Police change has effect on campus climate By McKenna Oxenden

As students settle into the new semester, the Marquette University Police Department is adjusting to its first school year of operation. Formerly the Department of Public Safety, MUPD was

officially commissioned as a police force May 1. The group worked throughout summer to train and swear-in 36 officers. “We knew we were going to need some time to adjust and adapt to our new role, so the summer was a perfect time to make the transition,” MUPD Chief Paul Mascari said in an email. Students have seen MUPD at work throughout the first week of school. “We want the pedestrians to know that they have to be careful when walking around

force

campus,” Mascari said. “People tend to get easily distracted by their phones or music and not pay attention to the traffic in the area.” University President Michael Lovell said the university saw an immediate impact from MUPD. He said crime on campus during summer 2015 was reduced by 47 percent, compared to summer 2014. Mascari said MUPD has focused a significant amount of attention on traffic safety. Officers are specifically attentive to those who are

speeding, failing to yield to pedestrians or driving drunk. Farrah Masri, a freshman in the College of Engineering, said MUPD gives campus a safer and more structured feel. “It’s like moving surveillance,” Masri said. “Someone watching you from afar but not in a creepy way.” However, Masri questioned the force when she was on campus for the Freshman Frontier Program during summer. “I feel like I noticed some See MUPD, Page 6
