Marquette shows heart by completing walk Faculty, students, staff raise money for heart disease research

By Eric Oliver eric.oliver@marquette.edu

More than 130 Marquette faculty, students and staff participated in a walk held by The American Heart Association to benefit heart disease research in Milwaukee last Sunday.

The walk raised $373,894 of its $570,000 goal. The Marquette teams raised $3,874.09 to benefit the AHA. Milwaukee participants joined more than a million others in 300 cities across America to take a stand against heart disease.

According to the AHA website, cardiovascular disease is the top killer of all Americans.Someone dies due to heart disease every 38 seconds. Heart disease also kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. The heart walk helps further preventative measures and gets life-saving information to those in need.

University Provost John Pauly and Jeanne Hossenlopp, vice provost for research and dean of the graduate school, led the Marquette team in the walk.

Professor killed in car accident Speaker discusses Marquette en Madrid Syrian conflict director remembered as ‘surrogate mother’

By Seamus Doyle seamus.doyle@marquette.edu

The Marquette community is mourning the passing of an educator, colleague and friend after Eufemia Sanchez de la Calle, an associate professor of Spanish and resident director of the Marquette en Madrid program, was killed in a car accident Thursday evening in Madrid.

A native of Cáceres, Spain, Sanchez de la Calle, 57, was known by her friends, students and coworkers as “Femy.” She is survived by four brothers and four nieces and nephews, all of whom live in Spain.

Professor cites ‘growing moral repugnance’ in Syria

By Melanie Lawder melanie.lawder@marquette.edu

Last Wednesday, Lisa Wedeen, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and visiting professor at Marquette, spoke at the Association of Marquette University Women’s annual Boheim Lecture.

Wedeen was in Syria before the protests began in March 2011 and stayed until May of that year. In her talk, she posed the question of why the civilians of Syria’s two largest cities, Damascus and Aleppo, failed to

mobilize in large numbers until spring 2012.

She attributes the delayed escalation of conflict in Damascus and Aleppo to the divisive, economic geography of the country and a pervasive “ideology of the ‘good life’” combined with a neoliberal mentality among the “well-to-do” people of the cities. Wedeen emphasized that this neoliberal mindset, which has many similar features to “laissez-faire” economics, combined with fears of sectarian disorder and non-sovereignty to create an ambivalent and tolerant atmosphere in Damascus and Aleppo. However, Wedeen said in spring 2012, there was a “growing moral repugnance over the regime’s brutality” See Syria, page 8

News in Brief Milwaukee NAACP calls for reforms

Wis. teen crash rate higher than nation’s

The Milwaukee branch of the NAACP released a statement Monday asking for civil rights reforms in response to Derek Williams’ death in the back of a Milwaukee police car in July 2011.

The statement proposed three changes at the city, county and state levels to enhance civil rights enforcement in the Milwaukee community.

The first change requested is to restructure the Fire and Police Commission to be independent and citizen-led. Second, the NAACP wants the City Equal Rights Commission to provide a forum for citizens to address their complaints. The last proposed change is the creation of an Office of Human Rights at the state cabinet level to promote human rights and equal opportunity.

The group also said political, business and civic leaders must help develop a culture of diversity and inclusion that values education and opportunity.

The rate of teen driving deaths in Wisconsin exceeds the national average, according to a study by Erie Insurance released Monday.

Crash data from the U.S. Department of Transportation between 2006 and 2010 showed a rate of 17.8 deaths per 100,000 teens aged 16 to 19 in car accidents in which at least one driver was a teenager, a rate above the national average of 16.2 percent.

The study also found that August was the deadliest month and that Saturday was the deadliest day of the week for teen drivers in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin was 24th-worst for teen drivers, counting the District of Columbia, which was among the lowest, along with New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

Amtrak concerned over drug tests Amtrak employees working in safety-sensitive positions are testing positive for drugs and alcohol more frequently than the rest of the railroad industry, according to a report released by the Amtrak Inspector General Thursday.

In 2011, Amtrak had 17 positive test for drugs and alcohol, 51 percent above the industry average. The majority of positive tests since 2006 were for cocaine and marijuana.

According to the report, the analysis of random drug and alcohol tests show that the employees have been testing positive at an increasing rate since 2006.

The rate exceeded the industry averages for the past five years.

The Inspector General said in the report that key senior management was unaware of the problem until the findings were presented.

The Inspector General made five recommendations in the report: increase testing, routinely review testing data, engage management in the testing, meet or exceed Federal Railroad Administration guidelines and train supervisors to identify signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol use.

University of Va. top party school Playboy named the University of Virginia the No. 1 party school in America, upsetting university officials who are “demanding a recount” of the rankings, according to MSNBC News.

The rankings are determined on a point system of three categories, sex, sports and nightlife.

This gave Virginia an edge over the University of Southern California, which came in second.

The rankings come two years after the magazine named Marquette the No. 1 Catholic party school in the country in its May 2010 issue. Marquette was given the title because of the quality of its sports, number of bars and urban location.

Marquette was not featured in this year’s rankings.

“Gangnam” star’s father reaps profit The father of Korean pop star Psy, whose song “Gangnam Style” became the first hit from the country to top Apple’s music download charts, is benefitting from his son’s success.

His software firm has doubled in value since Psy gained global attention in July.

Park Won-ho, the father of the pop star and chairman and controlling shareholder of South Korean semiconductor company D I Corp, has seen his company and its market capitalization surge to 113.5 billion won, the equivalent of $101.29 million, making it the 459th most valuable stock measured by size as of last week.

“Gangnam Style,” which was uploaded July 16, currently has more than 42 million views on YouTube.

Reef’s decline alarms researchers The world’s largest reef, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, has lost half of its coral in the past 27 years. Researchers from the Australian Institute of Marines Science warned that the 1,200 mile long reef could be reduced to just 5 percent of its former area in the next decade, especially since rates of loss have increased since 2006. The damage to the reef has been attributed to a combination of storms, predators and damage caused by human pollution.

Natural causes of coral damage, such as hurricanes, caused the bulk of the damage. Under normal conditions, reefs take 10 to 20 years to fully recover.

However, an increase in the temperature and acidity of ocean water due to increased carbon dioxide levels are inhibiting coral’s ability to regenerate. Further complicating the issue is a rise in shipping through the area.

The researchers are calling for a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions as a way to help slow down the rate of deterioration. Scientists warn that damage to the reef can have lasting consequences to more than just the coral itself.

“The coral provides shelter and food for thousands of organisms,” said institute senior scientist Hugh Sweatman to the Sydney Morning-Herald. “So you don’t just lose the corals themselves, you lose the species that depend on them.”

Candidates play the blame game in first debate Baldwin, Thompson face off over taxes, economy, spending

By Alexandra Whittaker alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

U.S. Senate candidates Tommy Thompson and Tammy Baldwin faced off about taxes, the middle class and the national debt at their first debate Friday in Milwaukee. Both candidates were on the attack and blamed each other’s parties and former administrations for many of the country’s problems.

Thompson, the GOP candidate and Wisconsin’s longest serving governor, labeled Baldwin, a Democratic congresswoman, as an extremist who has done little aside from raising taxes.

He also accused her of being a “taxer and spender.”

“I get things done,” Thompson said. “I make sure things happen.”

Baldwin, who would be the first openly gay member of the U.S. Senate if elected, blamed former president George W. Bush’s administration for adding $3.5 trillion to the national deficit because of tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“They call that conservative?”

Baldwin said. “Those words have lost their meaning.”

Thompson, who served as the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Bush administration, is one of Wisconsin’s most well-known Republicans. Baldwin asked voters to look beyond Thompson’s popularity.

Both candidates claim to be champions of the middle class and said they anticipate a tough campaign. The candidates also agreed that troops need to be withdrawn from Iraq and that it needs to be easier for legislation to pass in the Senate.

Most legislation needs 51 votes to pass the U.S. Senate, but senators in the minority party have frequently threatened a filibuster,

which requires 60 votes to force any substantive vote.

“The 60 percent rule in the U.S. Senate should be done away with,” Thompson said.

Baldwin agreed that “there ought to be real reform in the Senate.”

Marquette graduate student Nicky Brown attended the debate and thought the best moments of the night were when the candidates managed to agree.

“The debate was so intense,” Brown said. “Everything was just really tense the entire time.

I liked when they would agree on something because it gave the room a little time to breathe and take a minute away from all

of the stiffness.”

Despite their similar views regarding Senate voting procedures and the withdrawal of troops, Thompson and Baldwin disagreed on most everything else.

Thompson said Baldwin wants the government to control people’s health care choices, referencing Baldwin’s support of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Baldwin responded by pointing to Thompson’s plans to repeal the law.

University of WisconsinMilwaukee student Josephine McKinley appreciated that Thompson and Baldwin were earnest and unafraid of calling

each other out.

“They really went at each other,” McKinley said. “They really weren’t afraid.They just went for the jugular at every chance.

It was really cool because they were so smart about it, too – each of them had totally valid points.”

Baldwin called for ending tax loopholes and deductions that encourage the outsourcing of jobs, as well as the rule on “carried interest” that allows hedge fund managers to receive compensation at a tax rate far less than ordinary income.

“That’s why we see the presidential candidate on the Republican side (Mitt Romney) paying

such low taxes,” Baldwin said.

Thompson said he cut taxes dozens of times and created more than a half million jobs during his 14 years as governor. He called Baldwin the top spender in the U.S. House of Representatives and blamed her for allowing the nation’s debt to grow to $16 trillion.

Brown said the Senate debate set the tone for this month’s presidential debates.

“I thought it was a great debate overall,” Brown said. “I am so pumped up for Wednesday’s presidential debate now. The Wisconsin debate set my expectations high for Romney and Obama.”

Senatorial candidates Tommy Thompson and Tammy Baldwin spent most of the evening attacking each other and the opposing party’s views on issues.

Obama more ‘liked’ than Romney on social media GOP increases its presence across online platforms, still behind

By Alexandra Whittaker alexandra.whittaker@marquette.edu

As the 2012 presidential debates begin this Wednesday, the candidates are taking advantage of networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook and even Reddit to engage the online community. While President Obama, sometimes referred to as the “Facebook president,” used social media in his 2008 campaign, this election season has seen an increased social media presence from both sides of the aisle.

According to a Pew Research Center tracking survey, in the past two years alone, Twitter users from ages 18-24 have almost doubled in population. The number of users rose from 16 percent of 18-24 year olds to 31 percent, giving it the biggest jump in popularity of any social media site. Politicians have adopted social media accounts in order to stay up-to-date with students and young adults who are increasingly using Twitter and Facebook to get political news.

As of Monday, Obama’s Twitter account @BarackObama has tweeted 6,338 times to more than 20 million followers, and Mitt Romney’s account has tweeted 1,184 times to more than one million. Both accounts have many student followers whom the campaigns recognize with occasional tweets addressing student concerns like loan funding.

The Obama campaign is active on nearly twice as many social media platforms as the Romney campaign, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism released in August. The report analyzed the volume and content of candidate communications on their websites and social media channels from June 4 to 17.

The usage gap between the campaigns was greatest on Twitter. The Romney campaign averaged one tweet per day while the Obama campaign averaged 29 tweets per day between the two Obama Twitter accounts, @BarackObama, the Twitter account associated with his presidency, and @Obama2012, the account associated with his campaign. Obama also had

about twice as many blog posts on his campaign website than Romney and more than twice as many YouTube videos.

YouTube ads for both Obama and Romney have been a common tool used to reach potential voters, unlike the 2008 campaign in which social media was a tactic used primarily by the Democratic party. Candidates are reaching out to voters through social media because many young voters have increased social media use in the past two years.

The study also found that roughly a third of the posts from the Romney campaign were about Obama and 14 percent of Obama’s posts focused on Romney during the period studied.

There is still a disconnect between 18-24 year old Twitter users and politicians, despite the easy access students have to the campaigns. According to a CampusLIVE survey conducted this January, the top five most followed people on Twitter by college students are all celebrities.

The study also concluded most students follow popular companies, such as Facebook, Apple, Nike and Forever 21, as opposed to political figures or news outlets.

It’s a struggle between what we need to know versus what we want to know.”

Ben Tracy, CBS national correspondent and panelist At a discussion panel Monday hosted by the College of Communication and the Les Aspin Center for Government titled, “Media Coverage Modern of Campaigns: Biased, Balanced, or Broken?,” CBS national correspondent and Marquette alumnus Ben Tracy talked about the connection between why people might be less informed about elections and where they get political information from.

“It’s a struggle between what we need to know versus what we want to know,” he said.

Because social media provides a direct connection between users and campaigns, its usage for political purposes has generally been seen as a positive thing for students, and in most cases, it connects people directly to candidates by acting as a news feed without the need for other mediums.

Websites like Twitter and Facebook also allow students to

contribute to the election directly. Many students frequently post political opinions, rants, cartoons, worries, praises and pictures. Some Marquette students live-tweet political events, such as Ann Romney’s event at Marquette and Obama’s rally at the Summerfest Grounds. Students can also donate to campaigns and receive voting information online via social media.

Despite the ability social media has to connect students with politics, College of Communication sophomore Emma Gotter believes there is a danger to social media that is often overlooked. Gotter works as an assistant at Marquette Digital Media Studio.

“Social media can be dangerous during elections because it is ultimately more opinion-based instead of factual,” Gotter said.

“Anything political that you find on social media sites is going to be swayed by political biases.”

MySpace says ‘bye, bye, bye’ to old design, image Site tries to reinvent itself as creative platform for all artists

By Jenny Zahn jennifer.zahn@marquette.edu

Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. But can he bring MySpace back?

The pop icon bought an ownership stake in the former social media giant last year with a vision to restore its relevance. Last Monday, Timberlake debuted his vision in a new promotional video that describes the site as “built totally from scratch,” with slick features and a new direction.

Instead of catering to the general public as a host for personal profiles, the new MySpace.com will repositions itself as a platform for the creative community – specifically, musicians – to showcase their music, photography, film, designs and more.

“There’s a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. MySpace has the potential to be that place,” Timberlake said in a statement.

After being dethroned by Facebook four years ago, MySpace descended into obsolescence as millions of users abandoned their profiles and forced the website’s former owner, News Corp., to sell the website for $65 million less than it purchased it for, according to an article from The Guardian.

In June 2012, MySpace had 25 million unique visitors.

Some former users like Allison Gronland, a senior in the College of Business Administration, ditched MySpace in favor of Facebook for usability reasons.

“Everyone else had it when we were younger, but I don’t use it anymore because Facebook

came along,” Gronland said. “[MySpace] didn’t seem as simple to use as Facebook was at the time, but now Facebook has gotten complicated. When I started using it about six years ago, it was very basic and easy to use.”

Tim Cigelske, senior communication specialist at Marquette, said that while MySpace’s cluttered design was a major factor among many others in the site’s collapse, management also contributed.

“Facebook was cleaner, less distracting and easier to use,” Cigelske said. “But Mark Zuckerberg didn’t try to cash out as quickly.

MySpace sold out and cashed in with News Corp., so it looks like MySpace was in it more for shortterm gain from the get-go instead

of making it the best experience they could, then making money later.”

By directing its attention to primarily the creative community, MySpace will not compete with social media giants Twitter and Facebook – in fact, it will harmonize with the two by allowing cross-platform integration and mutual log-in functions, such as the importation of contacts.

“They’re not trying to be a social network like they used to be – they’re an entertainment hub,” Cigelske said. “One thing they have an advantage with is they have so many artists there already.

Now, they just have to compete with Spotify, Pandora, sites like YouTube, where people go to find

those things already, so they have to convince those people that this is the place to go for it.”

MySpace’s interface is also undergoing an extensive restoration, borrowing concepts reminiscent of other social media sites like Pinterest’s boards, Instagram’s filtered designs, Grooveshark’s playlist queues and Spotify’s live song sharing.

“I think it holds a lot of potential because it has been shown that people will pay for entertainment on the Internet,” Cigelske said.

“They’ll pay for Netflix, Apps and Hulu, so if MySpace provides a good enough service, people will pay.”

Artists may particularly enjoy the new Top Fans and Insights

options, which analyze data on Fans with an interactive map and other demographical statistics.

Minimalistic profile layouts will replace the old ones, but the website will keep its name.

“They think of MySpace, they think of Tom (the default friend for every new MySpace user), and it’s an uphill battle,” Cigelske said. “They should change their name entirely if they are a brand new service and they are doing different things – not just the image, but the name as well.”

The new MySpace is currently still in beta testing with select users, but you may request an invite and preview its features and design in a promotional video at https://new.myspace.com

Jury still out on alcohol fines Second case of Numbers on new mumps on campus alcohol policy for first month unavailable

By Nick Biggi nicholas.biggi@marquette.edu

A little more than a month ago, the Tribune reported that after the first weekend of the semester there were 27 alcohol related write-ups.

Thus far, administrators and university officials are unable to give a tally of write-ups through the first month. Erin Lazzar, assistant dean of students, said the number of write-ups so far is impossible to count.

“We generally tabulate those on a semester basis,” Lazzar said. “One of the difficulties in student conduct is particularly in the middle of a semester. It is too hard to give those numbers because some cases are still being heard.”

Fines were implemented in the drug and alcohol policy this semester. Depending on the offense, students are now expected to pay when caught with illegal substances around campus or in the dorms.

However, Lazzar said there is more to the policy than just paying a fine.

“Every alcohol or drug violation will result in three or four parts of a sanction,” Lazzar said. “The first

is what we would call a sanctioning level, which would be a warning, university probation or suspension. The second piece would be the fine, which corresponds with the type of violation. The third would be a referral for a prevention or intervention program depending on how concerned the conduct administrator is.”

School administrators remain adamant that the policy has stayed consistent throughout the fall, noting that the drug and alcohol policy can be found in the student handbook.

“I’m sure the response is mixed,” Lazzar said. “I think early on there were a lot of questions. I will say overwhelmingly students who have been found responsible and asked to pay a fine know it is coming because it is clearly stated in the handbook and is consistent.

For the most part, students have prepared for the hearing, read the policy and know what sanction is most likely to be assigned.”

Stephanie Quade, dean of students, said the new elements of the policy have been positive.

“We are very pleased with the implementation of the new policy,” Quade said. “The training of the hearing officers and the student conduct boards proceeded well, and the policy has been integrated seamlessly into our system.”

Meredith Atkenson, a fresh-

man in the College of Health Sciences, said that she thinks the new policy is efficient, but not exactly reasonable.

“I think the policy is working; it is just really strict,” Atkenson said.

“I think college is about making your own decisions and having to deal with the consequences.”

However, Stacy Oommen, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, was more receptive to the policy change, saying it is just following the law.

“I think it is a good thing because underage drinking is illegal and shouldn’t happen in the dorms,” Oommen said.

A Marquette resident assistant who spoke on the condition of anonymity agreed with Oommen, adding that the new policies can be viewed as a way to think twice about drinking.

“I believe that the new alcohol policy has allowed students to have positively influenced the amount of write ups,” the RA said. “The new policies are enforced not as a direct punishment to students who violate the rules, but rather a teaching sanction to think before one drinks.”

The money from the fines goes directly to drug and alcohol programming or intervention programs. Additional help is available at the Counseling Center for students with alcohol and drug concerns.

Disease could spread outside campus despite vaccination

By Eric Oliver eric.oliver@marquette.edu

A second case of mumps has been confirmed in a Marquette student living off campus.

The case is believed to be related to last month’s report of an off-campus student confirmed to have the viral infection, according to a university email sent to students.

Marquette requires all students to receive three doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine before registering for classes, which the university said is effective in preventing up to 95 percent of mumps cases. Paul Biedrzycki, the health department director of disease control and environmental health for Milwaukee, believes there is a chance the virus will

Shake it up baby...

spread even among a highly vaccinated population.

“I would say that as a public health official I would expect that Marquette is a highly vaccinated population. However, the vaccine itself isn’t 100 percent effective,” Biedrzycki said. “Which means there is a potential for breakthrough; even people with both of the vaccinations have a chance to contract the disease.”

Biedrzycki said his biggest concern isn’t necessarily for the Marquette student body, because of its high immunization rate, but for the surrounding community.

“You have to build awareness (and) make sure you are fully vaccinated,” he said. “If you’re symptomatic, then seek care immediately, and finally, if you’ve contracted the disease, stay in isolation.”

The chance the virus will continue to spread is very low if students follow those four steps, he said.

“This is a big deal to have a couple of cases, especially at Marquette,” Biedrzycki said.

Marquette teams came from various offices and departments on campus.

larger commitment to the wellness of its students and employees,” Pauly said in an email before the walk. “Having more than a hundred of us out there is going to be great fun.”

Pauly said Marquette supported teams from the graduate school, office of the provost, Raynor Library and department of exercise science. Pauly said

about 138 Marquette students, faculty and staff were scheduled to participate.

For Hossenlopp, the walk was personal, as members of her family have succumbed to heart disease.

“My father died from heart disease at the age of 52, and I have a sibling who lives with a genetic, progressive cardiac arrhythmia disorder,” Hossenlopp

said. “This has made all of my family aware of the impact that heart disease can have on us.”

Pauly said Hossenlopp encouraged Marquette’s participation in the heart walk and the American Heart Association. Pauly has also supported making this one of Marquette’s wellness program initiatives.

“I think it’s important that researchers study heart disease across all populations,” Pauly said. “Over the last several years, doctors and researchers have recognized the importance of looking for and treating heart disease in women. Heart disease also continues to be the leading cause of death and disability among minorities.”

“The walk, and the funds raised through it, showed the commitment of the Milwaukee community to help create healthier lives,” Hossenlopp said in an email. “Marquette had an excellent turnout, thanks to 100 members of the exercise science team.

There were also teams from the Raynor Library, the office of the provost and the graduate school.

It was a beautiful day to take a walk along the lakefront.”

Pauly and Hossenlopp said they want continued support of the university in the effort to fight heart disease.

“We are also working here at Marquette to support research in this area,” Hossenlopp said.

“Marquette has received over $600,000 in research funding over the past six years from the American Heart Association.”

De la Calle: Late professor ‘an inspiration’ for many at MU Brian Keogh, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences and one of the 11 students currently in the Marquette en Madrid program.

“She loved talking with us in Spanish and showing us Madrid.”

The previous Sunday she had taken the students to a WorkCenter, the Spanish equivalent to Kinkos, where she helped them print and buy their boarding passes for weekend trips around Europe.

“Femy was an inspiration for everyone, especially the students,” said Raquel Aguilu-de-Murphey, an associate professor of Spanish and close friend of Sanchez de la Calle.

“When she went to the Madrid program, she was like a mother for the students. She always gave 100 percent or more to the job.”

Paloma Trejo, a 2003 Marquette graduate living in France, recalled Sanchez de la Calle taking her parents, who are from Mexico, shopping around Milwaukee. “She was the kind of person who would let you in her life pretty fast,” Trejo said in an email. “She was a wonderful woman, a wonderful friend, and she definitely was my mentor in many other ways.”

While students, faculty and alumni deal with the loss of a friend, Marquette has tried to keep the student experience in Spain as normal as possible. Anne Pasero, the chair of Marquette’s foreign languages and literatures department, traveled to Madrid over the weekend to support the students studying there. Gail Gilbert, the assistant director of the Office of International Education, said Paloma Cubillo, the assistant program coordinator of

Marquette en Madrid, will take over Sanchez de la Calle’s duties for the remainder of the semester.

“We’ll have another Marquette faculty member in the spring start with the program,” Gilbert said.

Grief therapists have been made available to the students studying in Madrid, and the U.S. Embassy has also offered assistance, said Stephanie Russell, vice president for Mission and Ministry, in an email. Campus Ministry, the Counseling Center and the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality will also support those who knew Sanchez de la Calle.

“The death of Sanchez de la Calle is a loss to students, both in Milwaukee and Madrid, and to the faculty and staff who were fortunate enough to work with her,” Russell said.

Support meetings have been planned for Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. and 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Office of International Education on the fourth floor of Holthusen Hall. On Thursday, the day of Sanchez de la Calle’s memorial service in Madrid, the Chapel of the Holy Family in the Alumni Memorial Union will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ann Mulgrew, assistant director for Campus Ministry, said a memorial service on campus is planned for a later date.

“We’re all kind of grieving together,” Gilbert said. “This is when it’s nice to be on a campus that is so tight knit and you know everyone cares so much about each other and that we will be able to get through this as a university.”

Syria: Speaker addressed question of intervention responsible for a shift in attitude and an escalation of violence in Syria’s two largest cities.

Damascus and Aleppo succumbed to the violence of the Syrian conflict this summer.

Fighting is currently underway and rampant, according to various news sources.

Though the Red Cross may have declared the uprising a civil war in July, president of the Syrian-American Society, Mohyeddin Kassar, said he believes the present conflict in Syria is not a civil war – it is genocide. Kassar, who spoke at Marquette’s “Saving Syria” panel last spring, maintains that the term still does not reflect the reality of the situation.

“The Syrian regime is no longer a legitimate government,” Kassar said in an email Sunday. “The atrocities that the regime have been committing turned it (into) a gang more than a government.”

Abdul-Hameed Al-Nassar, a senior in the College of Communication who organized the panel, agreed. He said the Syrian conflict is a “revolution” and not a civil war.

Whatever term is used to describe it, the situation remains the same – the death toll is rising quickly and events in Syria are continuing to escalate. In July, the United Nations estimated the death toll to be 17,000. However, the number has increased since then with 30,000 people now dead and 200,000 kidnapped or detained, Kassar said.

The Center for Documentation of Violations in Syria’s website confirmed the number of deaths at approximately 28,000, with almost 25,000 being civilians.

The Daily Beast reported that more than 5,000 people were expected to have died in September due to the conflict.

“The conflict in Syria is at a critical stage,” U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a July 6, 2012 press release. “The situation on the ground has deteriorated dramatically and has become more militarized. Violence has escalated, claiming the lives of thousands of civilians. Many more have been wounded, arrested and detained.

Appalling violations of human rights continue to take place.”

The question of whether external intervention is necessary, however, is controversial. Reuters reported Friday that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the U.S. would provide $45 million for “non-lethal

and humanitarian aid” to opponents of the Syrian government.

However, despite the U.S.’s resolve to not provide arms to the opposition, Kassar said he believes that monetary aid only goes so far, and U.S. military intervention is both necessary and inevitable.

“The killing is going to continue until the world’s conscience cannot take it anymore and we find ourselves forced to intervene militarily to end (Syrian President Bashar) Assad’s regime,” Kassar said. “This intervention is inevitable and putting it off will only increase our expenses.”

The Syrian uprising began in March 2011 after a number of children were arrested for political graffiti and reportedly tortured by security forces, sparking demonstrations in Daraa, Syria. Syrian civilians, who were already upset with the lack of economic and civil liberties under Assad, began calling for political reform. The government’s security forces responded with violence to these protests, and fighting has ensued between the rebel groups and the Syrian government. Both the opposition and Syrian government have been accused of committing human rights violations by the Human Rights Watch.

Those countries calling on the Syrian government to step down include the U.S., France, Great Britain, Turkey, Germany and many others, according to Reuters. China and Russia, however, have blocked three different U.N. resolutions that would impose economic sanctions on the Syrian government.

Iran also stands in support of the Assad regime.

One of the most pertinent ways students can stay involved, Al-Nassar said, is through an educated awareness of the situation. “(Student’s should) A) care about it; B) look into it; and C) try to get politicians involved and educate other people,” Al-Nassar said.

However, Kassar is concerned that the current election season will detract from the need for intervention in this “human catastrophe-in-the-making.”

“We need to create a debate about our moral obligation toward the Syrian people who are trying to get their freedom and basic human rights,” Kassar said. “We are lost in the current election period, and our administration is only giving lip service to this issue.”

MUSG discusses Experts weigh in on media bias consider new alcohol policy Panelists recent concerns over Senators debate complicity, fines with Assistant Dean Lazzar

By Ben Greene benjamin.greene@marquette.edu

At Marquette Student Government’s first official senate meeting with its newly elected representatives last Thursday, MUSG heard a presentation on the university’s revised alcohol policy by Assistant Dean of Students Erin Lazzar.

One of the major changes Lazzar outlined was a subtle change in the policy’s wording. Rather than punishing students for merely being “in the presence” of alcohol, the university has decided to discourage “complicity.”

Lazzar defined complicity as “condoning, facilitating, or encouraging another person’s or group’s behavior that violates standards of conduct” and said students should do one of three things if they are around others who are drinking in residence halls. In order to avoid breaking the complicity policy, students should leave, confront those who are drinking or report the illegal behavior.

Another hot topic Lazzar spoke about pertained to students who are over the age of 21. The policy states that “intoxication of a person, regardless of legal drinking age” is a violation. However, Lazzar said this rule will probably be applied in only extreme cases.

“For the most part, students who are of legal drinking age who are drinking in low-risk ways … we aren’t concerned about,” Lazzar said. “We are concerned, even with our students who are of legal drinking age, for students who are consuming alcohol to the point that they are risking their, or someone else’s, safety.”

Lazzar also noted that this rule is not actually new to the alcohol policy and has been around for years.

The only violation added this year

is the statement about “hosting a gathering in the residence halls that involves alcohol.”

Before deciding to institute these changes and additions, Marquette conducted an alcohol benchmarking survey at other Jesuit institutions around the country and local public universities. Lazzar said among the schools surveyed, Marquette was the only one not fining students for alcohol violations.

The absence of alcohol-related fines at Marquette is now a thing of the past. The new policy outlines four categories of violations of differing severity. Students who break any of those rules can expect anywhere between a $50 fine and university warning to a $750 fine and immediate suspension, depending on the crime.

Lazzar also said Marquette has made other changes outside of the student handbook regarding alcohol on campus. She said the university has invested in prevention programs, intervention programs, late night alternatives, counseling options and social norming campaigns, among other things, to encourage students to make responsible decisions about alcohol.

After her presentation, Lazzar took time to answer questions.

Senator Kyle Whelton, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, raised the issue of medical amnesty. He said students who require medical attention after a night of drinking should not have to return from the hospital with a fine looming over their head. That way, Whelton said, students will be more likely to call an ambulance in the case of an emergency.

Lazzar responded that student responses on AlcoholEdu have not dictated a need for such a program.

“We have asked questions on institutional surveys … about, ‘How likely are you to call for help for a friend? If not, why not?’” she said. “And the response to that is very very rarely, ‘I don’t want my friend to get in trouble’ or ‘I don’t want to get in trouble.’”

President Arica Van Boxtel, a senior in the College of Communication, gave background about the upcoming public forum held by university President the Rev. Scott Pilarz. She said that Tuesday night’s meeting will focus on “strategic planning for the future of the university.”

MUSG is hosting the final farmer’s market of the season from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday in West Towne Square, or under Olin in case of rain.

Registration deputies will continue to represent MUSG’s Student Voter Registration Drive in the Alumni Memorial Union and Raynor Library on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until Oct. 16.

reporting’s objectivity

By Emily Bieniek Special to the Tribune

With the 2012 presidential election quickly approaching, both mainstream and lesser-known media outlets have been providing near constant coverage of the candidates and the issues— though a panel of experts hosted

by Marquette Monday pointed out how a given source may often leave much to be desired when it comes to political coverage.

CBS News National Correspondent and Marquette alumnus Ben Tracy, visiting instructor and coordinator of student programs for the Les Aspin Center Christopher Murray and Nieman professor of journalism Bonnie Brennen discussed media coverage in modern campaigns and shared their opinions on what they see as the most important aspects of media coverage facing the public today.

Erik Ugland, the associate dean for graduate studies and research and an associate professor of broadcast and electronic communication, moderated the discussion. The panel featured general discussion, and panelists did not endorse either political party or candidate.

The panelists talked mostly

about criticisms surrounding the media and politics. Tracy noted the difficulty for news organizations in presenting opinions without being labeled as biased by a political party. He also pointed out that journalists are considered rude for trying to get politicians to answer questions they’re trying to avoid.

Brennen said throughout the 20th century, politicians often sought out reporters, whereas now the media is sometimes feared. Brennen cited President George W. Bush as an example, saying he “saw the media as a special interest group that needed to be managed.”

Brennen also noted that the public has many options to seek out news other than just newspapers and television. Social media is one example of a growing news source, she said.

The panelists also debated the responsibility of the media, the political campaigns and the citizens when it comes to giving and receiving correct information.

Tracy said the responsibility to decipher information belongs mostly to citizens, because politicians have a way of avoiding especially contentious issues.

“They boil complicated issues down to a thirty second sound bite that makes people feel good,” Tracy said.

Tracy pointed out the difficulties for a news organization in portraying a candidate accu-

rately because campaigns often attempt to hide many issues.

“You know a lot about the personalities of these two people and their stories as created by their opposition, but how much do you know about what they’d really do?” Tracy said.

Murray said responsibility for discerning the important facts surrounding a candidate falls mostly on the public. To do this, Murray said a person should consider more than one news source for information.

“Seek media that challenges (you), not what’s going to please you,” Murray said.

More than 60 people came to listen to the panelists speak, including a variety of students and professors. Wade Balkonis, a Les Aspin alumnus and Marquette senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said he expected more depth from the panel.

“I don’t know how much new information we walked away with from here, but having the commentary from people inside (the media) is really helpful,” Balkonis said.

Victor Jacobo, a junior in the College of Communication, said the panelists made good points and stayed realistic.

“They were very real in what today’s journalistic world is, and I think because of that, students got a great insight into what the job is today,” Jacobo said.

Housing market rebounds Wisconsin Realtors Association showed 20-point sales increase

By Emily Fischer emily.fischer@marquette.edu

Home sales increased 18.6 percent in the Milwaukee area in August. According to the Wisconsin Realtors Association, the number of homes sold in August 2012 were 20.3 percent higher than those of August 2011.

The housing market has been growing at a steady pace in recent months, according to the report.

“Sales volume both nationally and also statewide has been increasing since July 2011,” said David Clark, a Marquette professor of economics. “We’ve seen pretty substantial growth in sales of existing homes over that time period.” Clark is also a consultant for the Wisconsin Realtors Association.

The Wisconsin Realtors Association issued a housing statistics report stating that median home prices across the state of Wisconsin rose 2.9 percent to $144,000.

In 2011, the median home price was $140,000. According to the report, there were 6,419 Wisconsin homes sold in August 2011, an improvement from the 5,335 sold in August 2010.

“Statewide, we’ve seen an increase in the median prices,”

Clark said. “We’ve seen consistent upward movement over the last five to six months in quality adjusted prices. Prices are tending to move up, and they’re moving up modestly. They’re not growing at a rapid pace, but they are growing, and sales have been very strong. Both of those indicate that the market has been improving, and there have been plenty of good reasons for that. One of them certainly is mortgage rates that are under four percent.”

“When the housing market was declining, that put upward pressure on rental prices,” Clark continued. “As the housing market recovers, we see people moving from rental housing to owner-occupied housing, and that lowers the demand for rental housing and it puts downward pressure on those types of rents.”

However, housing around Marquette’s campus is not easily affected.

“The (Marquette) housing market itself did not change a great deal during the recession,” Clark said. “Elsewhere, we saw some rather substantial upward movement in rent as people moved out of owner-occupied housing and into rental housing, but those tended to be in the higher end of the price distribution. Marquette students tend to be in the lower end of the price distribution.”

“My daughter was in offcampus housing during 2010

and 2011, and her rent did not change the 18 months she was in her apartment,” he continued.

Zach Johnson, a senior in the College of Business Administration, agreed.

“Traditionally, when buying houses increases, the rental market decreases,” Johnson said. “But living in a college area dominated by rental properties, I haven’t noticed much of a change. We are pretty limited when it comes to options for living, which is where the competition between landlords lies. Unlike major state schools where land and houses are plentiful, we are limited by city living conditions. So, unless landlords are building up, our options are going to remain fairly constant.”

“My rent has not fluctuated under my current lease, but for the same property next year, it will increase by about $20 a month,” he continued. “I’ve heard that landlords around the area increase rent consistently at five percent a year as practice, which for my case it is true.”

Johnson had advice to share with students looking to rent homes in the future.

“The best day to start looking for rental home was yesterday,” Johnson said. “Start early. We started in July 2011 and signed our lease in January 2012 – it’s a process.”

‘Tis the season ... to wait for Christmas Illustration by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu

After last Monday, there was no escaping the heated commentary about the final call of the Packers-Seahawks game. Your Facebook newsfeed was probably filled with profanity and complaints about the temporary referees and how they “got the call all wrong.”

But it wasn’t just your friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter complaining about the replacement refs. President Barack Obama, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan also had no problem telling their supporters and the press that the NFL needed its official referees back.

It seems a bit ironic, doesn’t it? All these politicians calling for compromise between the NFL Referees Association and the National Football League when they can’t even have bipartisan negotiations of their own.

Politicians who distance themselves from opposing parties at any chance they get were finally able to agree on one thing: football.

Now if that isn’t American enough for you, we don’t know what is.

The politicians wanted the original refs back just as much as the everyday fans did. And this weekend, that wish was granted. The official refs returned to football stadiums across the nation on their white horses while adoring fans threw flowers at their feet. Well, maybe that’s a bit exaggerated, but you get the idea.

As the official referees walked onto the field at Lambeau, they were greeted by cheers and smiling faces from all directions. The refs waved at their loyal supporters and smiled right back at them.

Kickoff was underway and it felt like a joyous football Sunday again, at least for the first half of the game. But when the referees made what seemed to the crowd like another miss-call, the very same people

“

who cheered for their return began booing, howling and screaming profanities.

Hmm … this rings a familiar bell. Whenever any politician proposes a policy or says something voters disagree with, he or she receives an identical response.

Maybe politics and professional football have more in common than we thought. There may not be outright tackling, but politics sure has its own version of pass interference and roughing the passer. Maybe elected officials should be given helmets, too.

Now, if only each voter was allowed a shiny yellow flag to be thrown each time a politician did something wrong, our analogy would be complete.

And in thinking about this football-politics parallel, we can’t help but wonder a few things. When was the last time we saw everyone united together as passionately about a political issue? Would national problems actually be resolved like the referee situation if we did? How many of the thousands of people who called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about last Monday’s game bother to call their senators or representatives to voice their opinions?

When was the last time you bought a ticket to a campaign event or watched a presidential press conference? Do we care as much about the state of our country as we do about the state of a game?

Sometimes politicians, like refs, make bad calls. Once in a while (every four years, to be precise) those “refs” can be replaced. Everyone makes her or his own call, and fans either cheer these refs on or scream for their dismissal.

You may not have to register to be a football fan and you don’t get to cast a ballot during the draft, but we hope you put as much thought into your decision on Election Day as you did thinking up your fantasy team’s name. Touchdown, America.

PEOPLE WHO WORK TOGETHER WILL WIN, WHETHER IT BE COMPLEX FOOTBALL DEFENSES,

OR THE PROBLEMS OF

MODERN SOCIETY.

-VINCE LOMBARDI

Caroline Campbell October is here, and Wisconsin has been whispering hints of fall the past couple weeks, which are now turning in to loud declarations of the season all around us. The trees are beginning to glow red and yellow, and the temperature is dropping. Halloween decorations are popping up all over the place, and midterms are looming on the calendar.

The changing season, for me, brings one thing to mind: Christmas. You’re all probably sitting there thinking, “Carlie, you’re a couple months early with that.”

I was trying to figure out where my obsession with Christmas, and more specifically, Christmas music, comes from.

My hometown is a little bit Christmasobsessed. Boasting Hallmark Cards’ world headquarters, a Mayor’s Christmas Tree taller than those at Rockefeller Center and the White House and arguably one of the country’s most iconic displays of Christmas lights, we may be an overly Christmas-crazy city.

When I was younger, there were several radio stations that played non-stop Christmas music from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. This was so popular that, after a few years, they began starting the Christmas music three weeks earlier on Nov. 1. I would set my boombox (yes, I am a proud child of the 90s) to a Christmas station and fall asleep to the Yuletide crooning of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. I vividly remember sitting in front of a dying fireplace several Halloweens

in a row, eating candy, sipping on hot apple cider and counting down the minutes to midnight, when I could turn on the radio for some holiday cheer.

As I got older and packed up my boombox in favor of an iPod and computer, a world of possibility opened up to me. The beautiful invention of Pandora made it possible for me to listen to Christmas whenever I want. This is a dangerous tool to have at my fingertips. In recent years, I’ve started blasting Mannheim Steamroller as early as October, much to the dismay of my roommates and co-workers.

People ask me if I get burned out on it. I don’t. But I have noticed that I have lost a little bit of appreciation for fall and its beauty when I mentally skip ahead to winter and Christmas. So this year, I am going to try to wait. My far-reaching goal is to wait all the way until Thanksgiving to crank the Christmas, but I would be satisfied with myself if I could at least make it to the beginning of November.

I have heard that sharing your goals with others and writing them down gives you more motivation to follow through.

So this is me, challenging myself to wait at least a month, if not more, before I give in and kick off the holiday season.

I’ve written it down and shared it with all of you. So please, help hold me to this.

I will take any suggestions for good autumnal tunes you have, and I will return to this subject in a few weeks and let you know if I accomplished my goal.

I know it is not going to be easy. As the Christmas season approaches, decorations and lights and store displays and radio stations will begin their inevitable early transition to Yuletide, tempting me with tinsel. Even just thinking about it as I wrote this column made me long to listen to carols. But I’m in for a challenge and willing to give it a try. And who knows, if I can accomplish this goal, what else could I do if I set my mind to it? caroline.campbell@marquette.edu

A lesson in exercise etiquette

Brooke Goodman We all have pet peeves. They’re those things that really irk us. The things that make us resist chucking a shoe across the classroom or down the sidewalk.

Slow walking, gum smacking, bad drivers, those kids who prolong class by asking unnecessary questions ... they’re the things we immediately tweet about, sit back and watch as the “favorites” roll in.

I’m going to take this opportunity to talk about my biggest pet peeve. And by talk I mean oh-so-politely rant.

Welcome to Gym Etiquette 101.

No matter if it’s the Rec Center, Plex, a membership-only gym downtown or a fitness center across the country, there are certain unspoken rules that must be universally abided by while working out. By no means do I practice perfect gym habits – I check myself out in the mirror a bit too much and tend to blatantly glare at people who annoy me – but I do like to think that, for

the most part, I know what’s up.

Let’s begin this lesson with the worst fitness center foul I’ve ever seen.

It was around 3 p.m. on a Thursday, a prime work out time. I was lucky enough to have snagged a treadmill in one of the downstairs racquetball courts. I’m about 10 minutes into my run and in walks a girl ... let’s call her Bonnie the Belieber.

Bonnie walks in and immediately checks what is on the TVs. One is set to SportsCenter and the other appears to be a home renovation show. After assessing the situation, Miss Belieber leaves the room for a minute or so, returns and stands directly in front of a television, staring at it for about seven minutes. Yes, seven. I timed it.

After seven minutes, a Rec Center student employee walks in. She changes the channel to what appears to be a VH1 recording of a Justin Bieber concert. That’s right. The channel was changed from SportsCenter to a Justin Bieber concert. Even if I liked J. Biebs I’d know how unethical that is.

Once Bonnie was satisfied with the TV, she proceeded to get on a treadmill that had just been vacated. Seeing that the room was packed, you would think she would immediately start the machine and her workout. But no. She spent the next 10 minutes standing idle on the treadmill texting, and then speaking, on her phone.

Needless to say, the Twitterverse heard a lot from me that day.

This is obviously an extreme situation that incorporates many workout sins, but here are some less apparent rules – other than wiping down equipment after use and not hogging the machines – that must be followed.

1) Please put the phone away while working out.

Think about it. Do the 10 minutes you’re on the phone before turning the elliptical on calculate into the “Please limit workouts to 30 minutes” rule that is plastered on signs all over the walls?

And if you have a phone conversation while exercising, do you really think the person on the other end wants to listen to your heavy breathing?

It’s not difficult to put the phone down for an hour. Leave it at home or in a backpack – for your sake and everyone else’s.

2) Please don’t stare at people.

Exercise is a super awkward sight.

Fitness centers can pretty much be summed up by weird running styles, funny ab workouts and a whole lot of grunting. Add sweat to that and it’s a circus sideshow. Everyone looks strange – it’s not your fault; it’s just how it is.

So don’t make people feel even more self-conscious by staring at them.

This especially applies to all the guys out there who go to the gym solely to check out women in spandex.

3) Please don’t make it a competition.

Speaking from experience, this is a bad

MARQUETTE TRIBUNE BLOGS

idea. Whether you’re lifting weights, doing chin-ups or on a bike, don’t try to “challenge” the person next to you. No “Wedding Planner” treadmill battles, snide “Oh, you’re leaving already?” comments or trying to bench so much weight that someone has to come over and pull the bar off of you.

4) Please – and I mean this in the nicest way possible – do not talk to me ... or anyone else who unmistakably doesn’t want to be spoken to.

I sweat a lot. Probably more than most girls. It’s awkward and embarrassing. So when I’m working out, if you come up and comment on how sweaty I am, it’s probably not the best thing to do. And if someone looks like they’re in the zone, don’t break her of his focus. It’s easy to pick out the people who are okay with being spoken to, so talk to them.

5) Most importantly, please abide by these rules at the beginning of each semester.

The Rec Center and Plex at the beginning of a semester are almost unbearable. People travel in packs, everyone has New Semester Resolutions to stay in shape and the wait for equipment is about 30 minutes long on a good day.

Pothast, Lyon help Marquette to a perfect 10 Golden Eagles earn 2-0 win despite tough, muddy conditions

By Matt Trebby matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Through rain or shine, all Marquette can do right now is win.

The Golden Eagles took down the Providence Friars Saturday in Rhode Island 2-0 with second half goals from central defenders John Pothast and Axel Sjoberg. No. 8 Marquette will head into its match against No. 2 Connecticut on Saturday with a perfect 10-0-0 record.

“I knew we were going to be really difficult to beat, but I didn’t know we were going to produce this many goals, be this difficult to beat, and be 10-0-0,” Sjoberg said. “To have a perfect record after 10 games isn’t really something you can expect.”

Against Providence, Marquette encountered some unwanted and surprising conditions.

“We didn’t expect to get there and have it rain all night and have their field be all muddy and torn up,” goalkeeper Charlie Lyon said. “So that was a little bit different than expected. So to show up with all this weather and show up to the field and it’s a downpour, that was a bit different.”

The redshirt sophomore goalkeeper was busier Saturday than he had been all season, making a career high seven saves in the victory against Providence.

Looking to counter Marquette, Providence was aided a bit by the conditions, which made it

difficult for the visitors to keep possession at times. Sjoberg said the rough terrain and the style of game Providence played combined to make for a tough battle.

“They were playing very compact and kept it a difficult game for us,” Sjoberg said. “It was a difficult field to play on, and us trying to keep the ball a lot didn’t make it any easier for us.”

Head coach Louis Bennett lauded Lyon’s performance and said Pothast had a great game outside of just scoring his goal.

“The two giants today were definitely Charlie Lyon and John Pothast,” Bennett told GoMarquette.com after the game.

“Pothast came of age today, and Lyon was phenomenal. He made two unbelievable stops and I was impressed with his organization. What Charlie did today, he really earned the right to say that this was a shutout. If he wasn’t in goal, I don’t know if we would’ve had that.”

Sjoberg assisted Pothast’s 59th-minute opener, which came on a free kick from junior Bryan Ciesiulka. Flicked to the far post by Sjoberg, Pothast met it with his right foot and poked it home.

Then, in the 72nd minute on a corner kick taken by junior Paul Dillon, Sjoberg rose higher than everyone else to head home the Golden Eagles’ second goal, the clincher.

The Swedish redshirt freshman has scored four goals in the last five games, and Sjoberg isn’t surprised by himself. He expects to score goals and has found a scoring rhythm.

“I just manage to take care of my chances and finish the chances I do get,” Sjoberg said.

Freshman central defender John Pothast opened the scoring for Marquette in the 59th minute of its 2-0 victory.

“I’ve been more efficient when getting the chances than I might have been before.”

While Marquette wants to, and believes it can, win every game, an undefeated start like this is still much improved from how it

women’s Lacrosse

started last season. The Golden Eagles will look to continue this unbelievable run on Saturday against Connecticut.

“I hadn’t really thought of being in this position,” Lyon said. “I believe we have an

opportunity to win every game we go into, but looking back I just think we’ve been able to put a lot of things together as a team, (at the) right time and right place.”

A ‘Grand’ first victory for MU Medinah meltdown Early lead provides an embarrasment pressure-free evening for freshman goalie

By Kyle Doubrava kyle.doubrava@marquette.edu

Looking at the way the Marquette women’s lacrosse team was controlling Saturday’s exhibition match against Grand Valley State, it was difficult to believe it was only the second match in the program’s history.

Marquette clamped down on defense and used a patient attack to dismantle the Lakers, 14-6, and earn the program’s first ever victory.

“It’s a great win, and it’s great to be on this field to have the first win,” coach Meredith Black said. “I think they were probably a little more nervous today because all their family and friends were going to be here watching them, but they

didn’t show it. They played hard, and I think the excitement level was that much higher, so it was great.”

The Golden Eagles came out firing quickly, scoring the game’s first nine goals and immediately putting the Lakers in a deep hole. Freshman goalie Emma Salter was pleased with how the offense managed to stay calm despite the jitters the first home game brought.

“We definitely want to wait to take our good shots,” Salter said. “Take our time, get it around and run the plays we have. We definitely have composure.”

Marquette appeared more comfortable with ball control, tossing and catching with ease even when Laker defenders began to swarm.

Fundamentals like these caused issues in Marquette’s first game at Notre Dame, but this time around saw significant improvement. Freshman midfielder Anna Muzika, who

We definitely want to wait to our good shots.

Take our time, get it around and run the plays we have.We definitely have composure.”

Emma Salter, freshman goalie

scored two goals in Saturday’s match, recognized dramatic differences in how the team played compared to the Notre Dame bout.

“Last week was a little rough,” Muzika said. “When we got the ball, we didn’t keep it long, but this time we definitely worked it around and were just taking shots. Last week we were kind of afraid to shoot, but this week we were very confident when we went in. We drove hard and we made things happen today.”

The defense provided a pleasant surprise, not allowing a goal for the first 44 minutes of the match. Grand Valley State had difficulties chasing after loose balls and finding clear shots, and Black was impressed with how the team overwhelmed the Lakers’ offensive scheme.

“Our defense has been playing really great at practice and our goalies have been tremendous,” Black said. “We knew we had that protection when the ball got down there, but I actually didn’t expect anything or know how it was going to turn out. I was pleased that we could hold them without a goal for a while.”

Michael LoCicero What a complete choke job by the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Up 10-4 at one point on Saturday and needing just 4 1/2 points to win the Ryder Cup back from Europe, the Yanks melted faster than Jay Cutler under pressure.

The scene at Medinah Country Club was joyful and full of energy the first two days, with Keegan Bradley showing the world that he may be the next young gun.

Bradley and Mickelson wiped the floor with their first three opponents, winning in blow-out fashion.

The four rookies (Bradley, Jason Dufner, Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker) were a combined 9-6-0.

Rory McIlroy almost missed his tee time, arriving just 11 minutes before his 11:25 start time because he confused the time

zones. Had he been disqualified, Europe would have lost a full point.

So how exactly did the U.S. blow what looked like a sure win?

Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk. There is no other way around it. The trio, which has played in a combined 18 Ryder Cups, went 1-9-1.

Of the 13 1/2 points the U.S. earned through three days, Woods and Stricker combined for exactly 1/2 of one point, with Woods earning the meaningless half point after Kaymer closed out Stricker (and the Cup) just ahead of Woods’ final match with Francesco Molinari.

Furyk is now a dreadful 9-17-4 in his eight Cup appearances.

It’s pretty simple, though. Nobody is afraid of Woods anymore.

When he was in contention on a Sunday before 2009, he was going to win. Now, his erratic swing and reluctance to be part of a team have killed the U.S. in two straight Ryder Cups.

The atmosphere and patriotism was electric the first two days at Medinah. I found myself awake See Choke job, page 15

First win: MU defense closes out Lakers

the facts: The Golden Eagles will face their toughest test of the entire season with the No. 2 ranked Huskies coming to town Saturday. Under coach Ray Reid, Connecticut is unbeaten so far this year and will look to end Marquette’s phenomenal 10-0-0 start. The Huskies boast wins over Washington and Michigan State and will be coming off a mid-week matchup with the No. 5 ranked Georgetown Hoyas. Senior forward Carlos Alvarez leads Connecticut with 16 points, while junior forward Mamadou Diouf leads with seven goals. Scoring will be a tall order as goalkeeper Andre Blake has allowed just three scores in 10 games.

Marquette got off to a quick start and held on to an eight-goal lead to secure the program’s first win in history.

to 13-6 on three unanswered goals in the third period, but they could not find the back of the net for the rest of the match.

A goal by Marquette attacker Margaret Franklin with 3:44 remaining made the score 14-6 and effectively put the game out of reach for Grand Valley State.

The win gives the Golden

Eagles confidence as the fall season progresses. Players and coaches know there will be more challenging games once the spring comes, but they are satisfied to get the first victory out of the way.

“It’s really nice just to have a win under your belt,” Muzika said. “It’s a good starting

ground. Today we just realized how much we have to work on, so we’re excited to improve just because (today) was good.”

Marquette’s next matchup will be Oct. 14 in Allendale, Mich., when the team participates in the Grand Valley State Tournament.

The men’s soccer team may just be taking off nationally now, but Matt Pyzdrowski was one of the core players of the program’s early years under head coach Louis Bennett.

A multi-time Big East goalkeeper of the week, Pyzdrowski was an imposing net minder, one of the best in program history. He ranks fifth in goals against average, shutouts and career saves.

After graduating from Marquette in 2009, Pyzdrowski made three appearances for the Portland Timbers, then of the USSF Division-2 Professional League, in 2010.

After that, he took his career abroad. In March 2011, he signed with Angelhom of the Swedish Superettan, the second division of Swedish soccer.

Pyzdrowski started every game in his first season and led the team to a record of 15-7-8.

He recorded eight shutouts and was named Angelhom’s player of the season.

On July 29, Pyzdrowski suffered his third concussion in six months. He is currently taking a break from the game so he can return to Angelhom fully fit for next season. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu

Cross COUNTRY

Men’s team misses big opportunity amongst giants Women’s squad moves up in rankings with solid showing

By Christopher Chavez christopher.chavez@marquette.edu

The 11th Annual Greater Louisville Classic featured some of the most talented runners in the country, as Marquette’s men’s and women’s cross-country teams toed the line against some of the nation’s best.

Though this course is known to be fast, muddy conditions did not slow anyone down until fatigue settled in on the men’s side for a disappointing 22nd place finish.

“The general feel among everyone (on the men’s side) is disappointment,” coach Mike Nelson

said. “It was a pretty rough day. It just wasn’t our day, and we underperformed.”

Marquette’s first finisher was senior Connor Callahan, who crossed the line in 119th place at 25:28. The finish was 27 seconds slower than what he ran on the same course at the 2011 Louisville Classic and 38 seconds slower than his time at last year’s Big East Cross-Country Championship.

One of the few bright performances was the continued consistency of freshmen Cody Haberkorn (25:44) and William Hennessy (26:12). Haberkorn finished third for the team behind Callahan and senior Jack Hackett. There has not been a race all season where Haberkorn has not been in the team’s top three.

“The first couple races I didn’t want to set too many expectations and limit myself on what I could

do,” Haberkorn said. “I don’t really focus on how other people are doing because they might be having a bad day. I usually try to focus on my own race, and it’s worked out pretty well for me.”

The men’s race featured nationally ranked teams like Arizona, Texas, Iona and Columbia. Defending national champion Lawi Lalang won the men’s race for the Wildcats with his teammate Stephen Sambu right behind him. No other runner would finish for 23 seconds, and for Marquette, the wait was even longer.

The deep field was the perfect setting for Marquette to shine among giants, but the performances were just not there.

The men’s side was ranked 13th in the Great Lakes region for the previous two weeks prior to the Louisville Classic. They fell out of the Great Lakes Region’s top 15 for

the first time all season on Monday.

The women’s team finished 22nd overall in the 5,000-meter run, which was good enough to rise in the regional rankings from 13th to 12th. The team’s top five finished in under 18:37 and placed within the first 180 finishers of the race.

Freshman Molly Hanson (17:56) continues to be the team’s top runner as she broke the 18-minute barrier for an 88th place finish overall and first on the team. The course was wet, which made her performance that much more impressive since she set that as a goal for her first season.

“I don’t think she has adjusted to the 5K quite yet,” Nelson said of Hanson, who ran a shorter distance in high school. “I think she still has to learn more about that particular distance. She’s just good, and that’s all there is to it.”

Freshman Sarah Poirier was ten seconds behind Hanson to finish second, her best finish yet after a fourth place finish at the NIU Huskie Open and a third place finish at the National Catholic Championship.

“It was a little intimidating at first, but the race wasn’t too bad,” Poirier said. “It was crowded and there were a lot of girls, but it was fun. I knew I had to step it up a little bit with Elisia was out.”

With next weekend off, the men and women will be practicing and starting to prepare for the conference season, which is less than a month away. With the way things are going now, the freshmen men and women have been doing very well as they look to secure spots on the roster traveling to New York in the coming weeks.

Mertens leads MU to 3-0 start

Choke job: No Love for U.S. golfers in collapse

Redshirt senior right side hitter Holly Mertens had 33 kills and hit .647 to lead the way in Marquette’s two wins.

Player of the week keeps Golden Eagles unbeaten in Big East

By Patrick Leary patrick.leary@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s volleyball team won two Big East matches on the road this weekend, defeating Notre Dame (12-25, 2624, 13-25, 27-25, 15-7) Saturday and DePaul (25-19, 25-20, 25-23) Sunday. The Golden Eagles improved to 12-3 on the season with their third consecutive win at the start of Big East play.

Senior right side hitter Holly Mertens led the Golden Eagles with 33 kills on the weekend, including a career-high 20 kills in the five-set win over the Irish.

Mertens hit a whopping .647 in the two matches with just four errors, and she was named Big East player of the week Monday for her efforts.

“It was awesome, especially to go into Notre Dame’s house and DePaul’s house and show them what’s up,” Mertens said.

“We’ve been home for so long and it was a transition, but we handled it well and came away with two W’s.”

Coach Bond Shymansky gave Mertens credit for her intensity, which almost kept Marquette in the match against Notre Dame by itself.

“Holly would get subbed out of the back row, and she’d come off of the court and say ‘Gimme the

ball. Gimme the ball, Coach.’”

Shymasnky said. “I love that.

That’s such a great thing to be saying, not just to us, but for her teammates to be hearing.”

Mertens knew she had to step up after Marquette nearly gave the game away to Notre Dame with two awful sets the team lost by a combined score of 50-25.

“Those two sets were very uncharacteristic for us,” Mertens said. “Right after losing like that, we understood what we did wrong, and we have so much fight in us. We know that that’s not Marquette volleyball, and we just went out and took it to them.”

Shymansky echoed Mertens, knowing that the Golden Eagles usually start far better.

“It was the worst first set that I’ve seen us play all year,” Shymansky said. “We talked about brushing it of a little bit. It was so clear early on in that first set that it was out of hand and that we needed to regain focus and control. Our group did a really good job of that.”

The Notre Dame win bucked a trend for the Golden Eagles, who had lost two five-set matches in 2012 and three straight going back to the 2011 Big East Tournament. Shymansky said overcoming that hurdle was big for Marquette.

“We’d been tested by really good teams in fifth sets this year and came up short,” Shymansky said. “Until you have that experience of being there and feeling what that’s like, then you’re just not sure if you can do it.”

Junior libero Julie Jeziorowski said the Notre Dame game showed Marquette’s fighting spirit.

“It was big confidence boost because it showed us that up or down, we can always win anything,” Jeziorowski said.

Despite the impressive victory against Notre Dame, Marquette still had to prepare for DePaul the next day. The turnaround tested the Golden Eagles, even though they recorded a sweep of the Blue Demons.

“It was physically taxing and emotionally draining for us to win that five-setter at Notre Dame,” Shymansky said. “It’s a quick turnaround … maybe 12 hours of mental preparation with DePaul.”

As a result, Marquette struggled to put DePaul away early and instead met them in a grind-it-out struggle.

“We came out and tested the waters with them a little bit,” Shymansky said. “We were playing point-for-point with them for all three sets. It was up to us to step it up, put our foot down and pull out the victory.”

Overall, the two wins on the road started Shymansky and his team off on the right foot in Big East play.

“Winning on the road is a tough thing to do,” Shymansky said.

“Sometimes it feels like quicksand out there; the harder you struggle, the deeper you sink. We definitely went up to our earlobes at Notre Dame and just found a way to work together as a team and fight back.”

FOLLOW SPORTS ON TWITTER @mutribune_sport @ mu

at 9 a.m. on a Friday when I didn’t have class just to watch the morning four ball teams.

I screamed and clapped when the good guys holed a huge putt.

I cursed Ian Poulter and his death stare when he made clutch putt after clutch putt on Saturday afternoon. I mean, really, Ian, five straight birdies?

Give a ton of credit to the European team, however. They needed eight points out of 12 matches on Sunday to tie the largest comeback in Cup history and did just that. The U.S. also came from four points down on the final day in 1999 at Brookline to win.

When Europe won the first five singles matches on Sunday to take the lead for the first time, I sensed it was over. Poulter closed out Simpson two up to finish 4-0-0 this year and 12-3-0 in five Cups overall.

Davis Love III’s captain picks didn’t exactly pan out for the U.S., either. Other than Dustin Johnson, Love’s three other picks, Snedeker, Furyk and Stricker, went a combined 2-8-1.

The captains share a lot of the pressure, and Love’s choices will be remembered as big failures.

My question is, how long will this linger in the minds of the American players? Furyk left the 16th hole on Sunday one up against Sergio Garcia. By the time he walked off the 18th green, he had lost.

After missing an eight-footer on 18 that would have halved the match, his nightmare of a season was complete. If you remember, it was Furyk, not Webb Simpson, who should have won the U.S. Open in June.

Kaymer made one of the most clutch putts in golf history, a 6-foot knee knocker with everything on the line after Stricker had made a clutch putt of his own. It was reminiscent of the putt fellow German Bernhard Langer missed in 1991 at Kiawah Island that allowed the U.S. to win the Cup. “We’re all kind of stunned,” Love said after the Cup was over.

“It’s a little bit shocking.”

Marquette just keeps winning down in the Valley

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

Marquette didn’t allow a goal at Valley Fields this weekend, outscoring the Cardinals and Friars 7-0. The undefeated start will be tested by upcoming matches at Providence and Connecticut.

Kelly shines in home Big East wins over Louisville, Cincinnati

By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Marquette simply doesn’t lose at home. Dating back to 2009, when the Golden Eagles won their first American Division title, they are 36-3-4 at Valley Fields.

Of course, Marquette is 5616-7 overall during that time, but holding a strong home field advantage is one way to guarantee postseason success.

Should the Golden Eagles win their next five games, it would guarantee a bye in the first round of the Big East Tournament and host a second round matchup.

A win there would put them at 15-2-1 overall and would virtually ensure hosting an NCAA

Tournament game for the third straight year.

“It’s challenging and mentally demanding being on the road, but there’s nothing like playing at home in front of fans and family,” junior defender Emily Jacobson said.

Marquette knocked off Louisville and Cincinnati this past weekend by a combined score of 7-0 and has not been scored upon in its last five matches.

During their six-game winning streak, the Golden Eagles are outscoring opponents 20-1.

“We’re becoming a real tight unit, and we’re a little more consistent overall lately,” coach Markus Roeders said. “We don’t give up a whole lot of goals so those are all positives.”

Marquette has demolished Big East opponents over the last three years, going 26-1 against the competition, with a lone loss coming at West Virginia last year.

In Big East regular season play, the Golden Eagles

haven’t lost at home since Oct. 2, 2009, dropping a 3-1 decision to Rutgers.

As expected, the Louisville match was the more difficult game last weekend, as the Golden Eagles took 71 minutes to break into the scoring column before adding an insurance goal on a long free kick from Jacobson with just eight minutes to play.

“That goal was huge,” Jacobson said of her goal. “It’s important to get a second goal because it takes a ton of pressure off of us on defense and can open up the game a little more.”

The Bearcats didn’t give Marquette much of a challenge, with the first goal in the 10th minute from junior forward Maegan Kelly.

She added two more goals later in the game to increase her total to five for the year. It was a relief for Kelly, who scored 14 goals last year and seven as a freshman.

“I always come into a game

with the goal of scoring, and today that definitely happened,” Kelly said.

The junior has contributed in other areas this year, leading the team with six assists.

Junior midfielder Kate Reigle has had a breakout season so far this year off the bench, scoring five times and tallying five assists. Reigle matched her goal total from her previous two seasons on Sunday to pad Marquette’s lead to 4-0 in the first half.

“My goal coming into the year was to beat my goal total from last year, which I’ve done already,” Reigle said.

“It’s good to fly under the radar a little bit coming off the bench because it gives us another weapon on offense.”

While the Golden Eagles have had undeniable success in Milwaukee, this weekend will be different, as Marquette travels to Providence and Connecticut.

The Friars and Huskies are a combined 6-5 in Big East play

and are 10-3 at home. Both teams are also in Marquette’s division and could make a run at the top of the standings by upsetting the Golden Eagles this weekend.

The Friars boast a win over Syracuse, which is five points behind Marquette in second place in the American Division.

In games against Georgetown and Notre Dame, however, the Friars are 0-2.

The Hoyas and Irish are tied for first place in the National Division and vying for a No. 1 seed in the Big East Tournament.

Connecticut, meanwhile, has played a difficult schedule, playing North Carolina and hosting UCLA in a match that was eventually canceled due to rain.

“As long as we keep winning, we’ll be fine; the venue doesn’t really matter,” Kelly said.

Golden Eagles still need work with doubles troubles Gebes and Pimienta impress, while other duos underwhelm

By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s tennis team competed in the Knights invitational over the weekend in Orlando, Fla. hoping to gain some experience overall and configure matchups across their young roster.

Marquette, despite playing in uncustomary warm conditions, had some impressive singles showings, but coach Jody Bronson felt the team had a hard time finishing doubles matches.

“I think our kids played

really, really hard even though it was extremely hot,” Bronson said. “We struggled with doubles overall and really couldn’t close out the match in a lot of situations.”

The Golden Eagles won four of 11 possible doubles matches and were only able to secure one doubles point in three opportunities against Stetson, Florida Gulf Coast and host Central Florida.

Marquette picked up that lone doubles point against Stetson on Friday as the pairing of sophomore Ana Pimienta and freshman Erin Gebes won 8-3 in the one spot, while freshman Aina Hernandez Soler and sophomore Ali Dawson scored the other necessary victory.

Pimienta and Gebes won another doubles match 8-2

on Saturday against Florida Gulf Coast, while sophomore Vanessa Foltinger and freshman Aleeza Kanner earned the 2-2 tie with the Eagles with an 8-1 victory.

On Sunday, the Golden Eagles were swept in doubles play by Central Florida despite a tough battle by Dawson and Soler in the third spot which eventually resulted in a 9-8 loss.

While the rest of the pairings still need adjustment, Bronson was impressed with Pimienta and Gebes’ showing and feels that they will compete well in the one spot for Marquette.

“We feel that Erin and Ana are a good combination,” Bronson said. “They were the one team we felt was solid over the weekend, but we’re still working on the next two teams. We’re going

to spend the next week working hard on doubles.”

Bronson said she was particularly impressed with Gebes’ consistency and maturity so far, and that Pimienta has done a good job transitioning into a more demanding role in her second year.

“Erin is showing a lot of maturity in matches,” Bronson said.

“She’s been down in matches and come back and won and really stepped up to the plate.

Ana’s done a great job competing in the one spot and playing well against her competition there after playing mostly at the four and five spots last year.”

Gebes said she enjoys playing in the one spot with Pimienta, but agreed that doubles play will need to be a focal point moving forward, as the doubles

point is generally an important step towards winning overall matches.

“We both play with a lot of drive and both love doubles,” Gebes said. “We like to cover each other and play aggressively. I think it will be good for us to work on stepping up in doubles and playing more aggressively. We need to play more like we do in practice, because in the end it’s prophetic of how we play in matches.”

Gebes went 3-0 in singles play over the weekend in which the team lost 5-3 to Central Florida on day one, reached a 4-4 decision with Stetson on day two and defeated Florida Gulf Coast 6-2 on day three. Soler and her sister, freshman Laia Hernandez Soler also impressed going 4-2 in singles play combined.
