Opus Dean of Engineering Robert Bishop spoke at the dedication of Marquette’s new Engineering Hall.

Engineering Hall provides new space for students, faculty By Matt Gozun benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu

Marquette dedicated the first phase of its new Engineering Hall on Friday, even as construction continues to fully complete the building by next year. The ceremony was attended by an estimated 700 faculty, students, alumni and other supporters. It included speeches by Opus Dean of Engineering Robert Bishop, university president the Rev. Scott Pilarz and current College of Engineering students. The

presentation was followed by a blessing from the Rev. Edward Mathie and a Jewish prayer recited by executive associate dean of engineering Michael Switzenbaum. “Engineering Hall is a living laboratory,” Bishop said in his introductory address. “Every detail in this building was explicitly designed to both show engineering on display and to foster the generation of creative ideas.” Bishop thanked the more than 3,000 donors who helped to raise the necessary funds for the project. Among them were 10 donations of $1 million or more and an anonymous $25 million starting pledge. The $50 million, 115,000 square ft. building, located on the corner of Wisconsin and North

18th streets, is a far cry from Marquette’s original engineering building, now the Gesu Parish Center. The College of Engineering moved into Haggerty Hall during the 1940s, with the Olin Engineering Center added in 1977. But the two buildings can no longer meet the needs of the college, said associate dean Jon Jensen. “We were simply out of space in the old facility,” Jensen said. “We can’t do half the things over there that we can do over here.” New features include a twostory engineering materials and structural testing laboratory and an enhanced discovery learning lab with 24-hour student access.

MU retention rates above par Efforts continue to maintain high graduation rates By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

Marquette has much higher student retention and graduation rates than other colleges and universities across the nation, according to a recent study by Complete College America, an organization working to increase

the number of Americans with college degrees. The study shows that just over half of students who start a fulltime four-year bachelor’s degree program at a public university finish within six years. Alexandra Riley, associate director of the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, said Marquette has very high graduation and retention rates compared with its peers. Riley said more than 89 percent of Marquette freshman who started in fall 2010 returned in fall 2011. This is much higher

than other private colleges and universities, where the freshman retention average is 79 percent. Riley said other Jesuit institutions typically have freshman retention rates between 87 and 88 percent. Regarding the six-year graduation rate of students at private colleges, Riley said it is around 64 to 65 percent. She said for other Jesuit institutions, the six year graduation rate is about 76 to 78 percent. Anna Deahl, associate vice provost for academic support pro-

MPS prepares to ‘GEAR UP’ with federal grant By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

Wisconsin is gearing up to better prepare students, parents and teachers for high school graduation and higher education, thanks to a recently obtained $30 million grant. Milwaukee Public Schools, Wisconsin’s largest school district, is one of nine districts in the nation to be awarded a $14.8 million grant from the federal Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, also known as GEAR UP. The Department of Education program seeks to help atrisk students prepare for college and receive support to achieve in post-secondary education. A local match of funding brought the grant to $30 million. The grant will be divided into annual payments to MPS of $2,212,000 spread over seven years, according to the U.S. Department of Education report. Caroline Williams, curriculum specialist at MPS, said the length of the grant will benefit the district in the long run. “I love that it is a seven-year grant,” Williams said. “It really

gives us the opportunity to grow longitudinally.” Williams said the grant will be used to improve high school graduation rates and college readiness, with efforts beginning in sixth and seventh-grade classrooms. “It will cover every aspect that will help students prepare,” Williams said. “The money will fund mentoring services, academics such as improved student skills and teacher curriculums and also financial literacy for students and parents.” MPS will begin the initiative in seven high-needs schools, including John Burroughs Middle School, Roosevelt Creative Arts Middle School and Bay View Middle and High Schools, according to the district news release. In the third year of the initiative, six more schools are to be added: Audubon Technology & Communication Center High School, Lynde & Harry Bradley Technology and Trade School, Milwaukee High School of the Arts, James Madison Academic Campus, Alexander Hamilton High School and Harold S. Vincent High School. These schools represent both the highest need schools and strongest middle to high school feeder patterns in the MPS district, the same news release said. The grant awarded to MPS is one of two offered by the GEAR

UP Program, said Patrick Gasper, communications officer at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. “The GEAR UP program has two funding streams: partnership grants and state grants,” Gasper said. “A partnership grant was awarded to MPS by the federal government via their direct application.” The nationwide application process took place in July of this year and attracted nearly 300 applications, said Bonnie Dockry, education program coordinator at the DPI and Wisconsin Educational Opportunity Program. “The competition was highly competitive, and out of all the applications, only 19 states and 47 partnerships received funding,” Dockry said. The “partnership” aspect of the grant refers to the required local matching of funds. The matching funds for MPS were secured by 18 partners in the Milwaukee community and higher education sector, including The College Board, the Educational Opportunities Program at Marquette and MPS itself, according to the district news release. MPS is not the only GEAR UP recipient in Wisconsin. The DPI/ WEOP applied for a state grant, and will be awarded $5,000,000 each year for six years. The plan for the grant is similar to that of MPS, but extends throughout the state. It will help

Jobs’ legacy lives on with Marquette students Former Apple CEO continues to inspire even after passing By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

When Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, died last Wednesday, many public memorials were set up outside Apple stores, with flowers and apples left in tribute. While no such memorial has been erected at Marquette, it would be erroneous to say his passing had no impact on the university’s students and faculty.

Carole Burns, director of the Wakerly Technology Training Center, praised specific features of certain Apple products for their ability to equalize social disparities. For example, she said the SIRI voice assistant feature on the upcoming iPhone 4S, which allows users to give voice commands to their phones, helps those who might have previously been unable to use comparable products effectively. “Imagine what that device does for the sight impaired – it makes them look like everybody else,” Burns said. “Steve Jobs helped normalize society, which is a huge thing.” Burns said her son has

Asperger’s syndrome, an autismlike disorder, and she credits Jobs for more than just creating the iPod and MacBook Pro. “To me, Steve Jobs was more than the inventor of many technology advances,” she wrote in a blog posting about Jobs’ death. “He was the role model that I would point out to my son. The person I would see in my mind’s eye when I heard words like ‘your child learns differently,’ ‘he’ll never fit in,’ ‘he is socially awkward.’” Ana Garner, an associate professor of journalism at Marquette, praised Jobs’ developing of the Apple computer to allow free expression of artistry. “Because (the Apple computer) was so easy to use and with its flexibility, it opened up doors for people to exercise their creativity in ways that PCs did not,” Garner said. Marquette student Mac owners also reminisced on their admiration for their computers and Steve Jobs. Jessica Wright, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she grew up using a Mac and that its functions are better equipped for her school work. “I think it’s been a huge culture revolution ... I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have an iPod,” Wright said. “I think Steve Jobs contributed greatly to American culture.” Bridget Kelley, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, also said Apple technology has shaped her life. She said the

whole environment and daily routines in which she grew up changed with the technology Jobs created. Although many appreciate Jobs’ work and various Apple products, some are not sure what to make of the news. Craig Fischer, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said he is not very familiar with Jobs as an entrepreneur, so he is relatively unaffected by his passing. He said he does not know what Jobs’ death means for the future of Apple. The actual announcement of Jobs’ passing sent a shockwave through cyberspace. Sheldon Levine, community manager for Sysomos, a social media tracking and analytics company, tracked the internet activity following Jobs’ death from 7 p.m. Wednesday to 8:30 p.m. Thursday. He

found in that time period, the news of Jobs’ death garnered 2.5 million tweets, 13,284 blog mentions and 30,905 news mentions. “It was interesting because one event affected so many people,” Levine said. “In a 12 hour span, two million tweets had been dedicated to one man who died, from all over the world.” Levine said he had not seen such high internet activity in the form of tweets surrounding a death since Osama bin Laden’s in May. A death certificate released yesterday by the Santa Clara County Public Health Department revealed that Jobs died of respiratory arrest resulting from pancreatic cancer that had spread to other organs, The Associated Press reported. Apple’s iPhone 4S, unveiled a day before Jobs’ death, will be released Friday.

The entire college will leave Haggerty and Olin after the upper levels are completed, with the expansion bringing the new hall to 250,000 square feet. This second project will involve removing the building’s southern walls and expanding the building to cover the grassy area currently there. Costs are estimated at $50 million, with groundbreaking tied to the university’s ability to raise the necessary funds.

grams and retention at Marquette said high graduation and retention rates are a point of pride for Marquette. She said the university’s selectivity and quality of students the university attracts contributes to the high graduation rates. “Everyone that goes to (a college or university) does not want a degree,” Deahl said. “Marquette is a four-year institution where most students are intent upon getting a degree.” Deahl also said although the university consistently has high graduation rates, it is constantly working to improve. Marquette made significant changes in the Office of Student Educational Services this year to help students succeed. The tutoring program expanded with a larger staff to accommodate more students. This is the largest academic support program offered at Marquette, Deahl said. Karen Desotelle, director of Student Educational Services, said more than 1,450 students requested to take part in the program this semester. Individual academic support counseling and resources for students on academic probation also increased. Desotelle said student educational services wants to be more proactive in reaching out to students in at-risk demographics. “Our long term goal is to bring together as many academic support programs into one office as possible,” Deahl said. Combining offices will allow students who want or need help to

It is not just the work of one office, but a holistic approach, and students must be satisfied socially and academically in order to stay in school, she said. “Marquette does a good job in picking students with potential,” Desotelle said. “Our job is to help students find their potential.”

twice a year. He said many of these programs have home-billing, but not all Jesuit programs are included in that financial gain. Marquette and Gonzaga University, another Jesuit institution, have similar programs and application processes, but the universities differ in the number of students participating. Katuska Kohut, who works in Gonzaga’s study abroad office, said approximately 40 percent of Gonzaga students study abroad – nearly double the 22 percent of Marquette seniors who studied abroad, according to the 2010 exit survey. “Gonzaga has a list of sponsored study abroad programs, as does Marquette, and our students are welcome to apply to these programs,” Kohut said. “Included in our list of programs are some programs offered by other Jesuit schools.” Blake Ward, study abroad coordinator at Marquette, said students can choose programs from a similar list on Marquette’s website. There they can search for different types of programs sponsored by Marquette. One option, the successful Gonzaga-in-Florence program, has admitted students to academic, semester and summer study abroad programs since 1963, said Kohut. “Gonzaga-in-Florence’s (study abroad programs) are designed to challenge students to think critically, acquire global awareness, and develop the total self,” Kohut said. But Miller said Marquette utilizes the Loyola Chicago and John Cabot study abroad programs at universities in Italy instead of Gonzaga’s program in Florence. “The Gonzaga program is not a program we have adopted here,” Miller said. A Marquette student could apply to Gonzaga-in-Florence, but the home-billing would not allow for scholarships to transfer as they would in other programs. Ward said the first step in planning to go abroad would be to attend a general information session, which are every Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the Alumni Memorial Union. “If a student comes in (as a freshman) knowing they want to study abroad – you’re in a good spot,” Ward said. He said students can get a stepby-step guide to planning a study abroad trip from the Office of International Education.

According to the university, 95 percent of the debris from buildings razed to make space for the site was recycled. Students seem to be enjoying the new facility, especially its open layout and modern design. Justin Lemminger, a senior in the College of Engineering, described Haggerty Hall as dark and gloomy and said the new hall has more of a 21st-century feel. “We were so crammed in that old building,” Lemminger said. “There was never enough space for all of us, so it’s nice to have open area and sunlight.” Christie Nguyen, a graduate engineering student and teaching assistant, also expressed appreciation for the building’s practical aspects. “Class is just a lot easier,” she

Even small conveniences such as lockers for students, which were unavailable in the old engineering facility, have been included. Currently, only the ground level and first floor are open for students. The ground level is primarily for energy engineering studies and the first floor primarily for engineering education. Work is still being done to place drywall and move equipment on the upper floors, which are expected to open by fall 2012. When completed, those floors will be dedicated to “global challenges” such as human health and water resources. The building was designed to be environmentally friendly, with solar panels and 130 sensors that can detect electricity and water usage in addition to temperature, humidity and wind conditions.

After researching the types of programs and possibly meeting with an academic adviser, Ward said students should set up a oneon-one advising session with the study abroad office before applying. Ward said Marquette’s study abroad application is actually “more streamlined” than those at some other universities because students apply only one semester before going abroad and Marquette has worked out most problems with the online application.

Life can take you back to school

Ever thought of going to Spain? South Africa? India? Peru? As college students, the easiest way for us to do so is through a study abroad program, an option becoming increasingly more popular as students take advantage of student rates and the chance to travel. Here at Marquette, the Office of International Education and Office of International Business Studies oversee study abroad programs for non-business students and business students, respectively. That Marquette has two offices dedicated to handling international students and study abroad efforts is impressive. Some colleges don’t offer much help beyond ushering students to other American universities with better study abroad programs. If it is financially feasible, having a study abroad experience is important for us students. It allows us to see the world on a limited budget, often costing less than our Marquette tuition. Marquette offers help for students throughout the process. OIE and OIBS offer study abroad fairs, advising meetings, program information sessions and websites with information on individual programs, financial aid as well as health and safety. While all of these tools are great beginning resources for students, we can do better. According to OIE’s website, Marquette en Madrid and the South Africa Service Learning programs are the only Marquettesponsored offerings. The advertising, public relations, Ghana Historical Experience, Digital Storytelling in Cagli, Universidad de Veracruz in Mexico and Community Nursing in Peru programs are all facultyled. The OBIS offers faculty-led programs in Belgium, Italy and China. This may seem like a comprehensive list. While 10 Marquette programs are better than none, consider the number 62 – the amount of total programs listed on the OIE website. Marquette-approved, exchange and external approved programs are run by other universities but allow Marquette students to enter their programs or act as exchange students with those from the home universities. Credits earned from such programs count as transfer credits, and financial aid policies differ based on program classification. Out of the 62 programs offered, 21 of them are labeled “Business Majors Only,” giving one-third of all the options exclusively to that college. Students in the seven

other undergraduate colleges are missing out on those programs, and limited to the programs remaining — most of which are also open to business students. There are also only a handful of specialized programs outside of the business college. While many of the 21 undergraduate business programs are for international business majors, it seems unfair to the other majors who only get one specialized program (i.e. advertising and PR, nursing and journalism) or the dozens more who do not have any. Additionally, the application process, including recommendations and references, is conducted through an online system that can be difficult and confusing to navigate. Often deadlines are extended and unclear, and once students are accepted into programs they are at the mercy of program directors or liaisons, meaning OIE’s ability to assist students is limited. When abroad, advisers can be difficult to contact and students can end up feeling lost or left alone in their respective non-Marquette communities. This sometimes overwhelming process of applying for the programs and actually living and studying abroad can and should be streamlined for students’ sake. The course approval process poses an additional challenge for students, since many of the exchange programs have different educational systems that don’t transfer as easily as other American colleges or community colleges at home. Moreover, many schools abroad do not provide the next semester’s course catalog until after the deadline for course approval submissions, rendering the entire process largely arbitrary. OIE gives us an important service, and we need its help. But they cannot adequately help students if they offer insufficient resources. Marquette needs to invest in its study abroad service in order for students to become more involved. It’s an opportunity to set Marquette apart and have excellent study abroad programs for the whole university, not just the College of Business Administration. We want our students to study abroad, and we want to be able to do so through our own programs, not another university’s. Having a more comprehensive and userfriendly Marquette program would only benefit students and the reputation of the university as a whole.

Come again? “Nothing out there?” For people who have developed substance dependencies in their first two decades of life, there is plenty out there. Their organs are prime, their brains are still maturing, and their futures are malleable. These kids are hardly lost causes. That being said, part of the cure is self-discipline. Addiction is a science, but it’s also a habit. A vaccine only helps the former. As excited as I am for this vaccine to come through, a little skepticism remains. A shot that alters brain chemistry can’t heal the mind of all its afflictions. There is no cure-all for our bodies and our heads; it’s a balance of medicine and self-discipline, and we can’t just forget about the latter.

Instructor donates personal Sondheim collection to MU By Jennie Jorgensen jennifer.jorgensen@marquette.edu

1971 was a big year for American composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim. It was the year he debuted “Follies,” a Broadway musical about two former showgirls from longgone music revues and their husbands, learning to cope with how their past had changed their present. The production ultimately won seven out of 11 of the Tony Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Original Score, and has since been considered one of the greatest musicals of the 20th century.

1971 was also a big year for Paul Salsini, a Marquette alumnus and current journalism instructor. He saw “Follies” that spring and was blown away. Fascinated, Salsini took it all in and “put it away”— straight into his file cabinet. Over time, as he learned more about the composer’s groundbreaking techniques in the world of musical theater, Salsini became a devoted Sondheim expert, enthusiast and collector. So devoted, in fact, that his collection, recently donated to Marquette’s university archives, includes thousands of pieces of memorabilia collected over 40 years — the largest and most complete documentation of Sondheim materials ever assembled.

A legacy of excellence Born in New York City in 1930, Sondheim has since

become a household name. He majored in music at Williams College and studied under Oscar Hammerstein II after he graduated. Sondheim wrote such famous musicals as “Sweeney Todd,” “A Little Night Music,” and lyrics for “West Side Story.” Along with his eight Tony Awards — more than any other composer — and Grammy award, Sondheim also received an Academy Award for best song in 1990 for the film “Dick Tracy.” He is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1984 for “Sunday in the Park with George.” Critics have sung his praises for years. The New York Times has called him “the greatest and perhaps best-known artist in the American musical theater,” and, 11 years ago, said that he “may have even outlived the genre itself, which was long ago exiled by rock music from center stage

University Libraries’ Department of Special Collections and Archives accepted a donation of Stephen Sondheim memorabilia this summer. A sampling of the collection is on display at Raynor Library this week.

to niche status in American culture.” Yet, Sondheim’s shows are still performed. Just last year, Marquette’s theater department produced “Sunday in the Park with George.” Currently 81 years of age, his most recent work was the music and lyrics of “Road Show” in 2008. Now, Sondheim’s legacy will forever live at Marquette.

A rare collection After seeing nearly 100 Sondheim productions, Salsini decided to donate his collection to Marquette in 2008. But it wasn’t until this summer that he finally boxed up his treasures and sent them to Raynor Memorial Library, where they’ve been placed on the third floor in the University Libraries’ Department of Special Collections and Archives. The new Stephen Sondheim Research Collection (SSRC)’s preliminary inventory was established by university archivists in August, and is now available to researchers and Marquette students. It consists of books, magazines, scripts, scores, articles, reviews, programs, LP records, posters, window cards and other memorabilia relating to such musicals as “West Side Story,” “Company,” “Follies,” “A Little Night Music,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Into the Woods” and others. Also included are hundreds of articles, reviews and features about each of Sondheim’s two dozen musicals, revues and films. There are more than 600 programs and playbills from productions on- and offBroadway, over 400 audiotapes, 200 videotapes and 100 CDs of Sondheim’s shows. According to Matt Blessing, head of the Department of Special Collections and Archives, the SSRC is completely unlike any other collection housed in the archives. He said Marquette primarily collects materials relating to Catholic history — a policy that ordinarily wouldn’t place an emphasis on Broadway composers and lyricists. “Given the nature of archival materials and researchers, you have to specialize in topical areas,” Blessing said. “So when I first saw the collection three years ago my first reaction was ‘Well, this really doesn’t fit within our formal collecting policy.’” The permanent nature of archives means the content of each collection must be carefully

considered before it is acquired by the department. “That’s one of the reasons to take these acquisitions very seriously — because you’re telling a donor you will preserve and curate a collection like this in perpetuity,” Blessing said. Nevertheless, the university decided to catalogue and build on the collection because of Salsini’s great care and attention in developing such a multiform collection. The archives will continue to purchase readily-available Sondheim artifacts like books, dissertations, CDs and DVDs ito enhance the collection further. However, Blessing said, the collection is uniquely based on Salsini’s gathering of extremely rare ephemera, ranging from privately recorded audio from directors of Sondheim productions to notes written by Sondheim himself.

From file cabinets to archives Salsini’s passion for Sondheim grew quickly after that first production of “Follies.” He started reading about Sondheim and building a collection of clippings — reviews, feature stories, interviews and essays — about this composer who seemed to be revolutionizing musical theater. From clippings he moved on to playbills and records, and from there “it just kept building,” Salsini said. “If it was Sondheim, I’d save it,” he said. In 1994, Salsini took his passion to a new level by co-founding “The Sondheim Review,” a quarterly magazine “dedicated to the work of the musical theatre’s foremost composer and lyricist,” according to the website. Productions of the magazine from 1994 to 2004 are included in the SSRC. Sondheim is currently the only living composer with a quarterly journal published in his name. Running out of space in his study that was full of Sondheim, Salsini decided to pass the torch. He said he knew Marquette would not only take good care to preserve the collection, but that Marquette would be the proper educational institution to which to donate it. “I felt that (the collection) should be accessible to students,” Salsini said. “So if they’re interested in (Sondheim) or in theater they can study, listen and see all these things in one place.”

Mental toughness maintains undefeated Big East MU won 12 of its last 13 matches

By Mark Strotman mark.strotman@marquette.edu

The Marquette women’s volleyball team’s on-court play helped sweep Big East foes Georgetown and Villanova, but the team believes it was mental composure and focus that allowed it to triumph. The Golden Eagles (15-4, 5-0 Big East) breezed through their competition last weekend to keep their Big East record unblemished after five games for the first time in the program’s history. For the experienced squad, mental focus was needed Sunday. Following a Friday performance that Shymansky said lacked emotion and was methodical, the Golden Eagles responded by maintaining their cool in tough stretches against the pesky Wildcats. That mental composure was on display at the end of the second set. The Golden Eagles led by as many as four, until the Wildcats rallied to come back and tie the set at 24 and again at 25 and 26. But the Golden Eagles never faltered, staying composed during the back-and-forth stretch before finishing the set with a kill from senior outside hitter Ciara Jones, who led the team with 16 kills. “They’re able to contain themselves so well,” Shymansky said of his players’ focus. “They have good foresight and forethought about how they’re going to score the next point because they know there’s going to be a next point.” That momentum shift continued into the third and final set, where the Golden Eagles led by as many as seven points thanks to five kills apiece from Jones and senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer. Between sets two and three, Shymansky reiterated the importance of the upcoming set and was pleased with how his team responded. “It’s about re-establishing your

position in the gym and your dominance over an opponent or trying to regain momentum if you don’t have it,” Shymansky said. “And so I just talked to them and said ‘In the third set you give three times as much as you’ve given so far,’ and our group did that.” Jones noted the confidence it gave the team to continue to stay aggressive against a competitive Villanova group. “That’s the main thing I’ve been telling the team all week, is that we just have to fight back,” Jones said. “Don’t let someone punch you in the mouth and not punch back.” Jones was named to the Big East honor roll this week after racking up 26 kills in the two wins, and Shymansky said the senior captain’s progression has carried Marquette when the team needs it most. “This year, in every big match and every big swing we’ve needed, she’s come up with it,” Shymansky said. “It’s great to watch a senior grow from being a young woman and an immature competitor to being a strong woman out there and an unbelievable competitor.” Fighting back and staying focused during key stretches has helped Marquette to wins in 12 of its last 13 matches and Marquette is now within a half of a game of the top of the Big East standings. But Beyer, who on Friday became just the 10th player in Marquette history to record 1,000 kills, said the team can still improve on maintaining it throughout the course of the game. “Once we do things together, it’s crazy how well we can play,” Beyer said. “Hopefully we’ll keep working on it and get it to come together all the time and not just segments of games.” Freshman setter Chelsea Heier was also honored by the conference this week by being named the Big East Freshman of the Week for the second time in her career after averaging 11.5 assists per set. She leads the Big East with 816 assists.

Madness should be madder Bode moves from player to coach Andrei Greska It’s time. There have been exactly 200 basketball-less nights and days at Marquette. In three more, however, life will be breathed back into campus. Marquette Madness, the annual celebration commemorating the start of the college basketball season, is not just around the corner — it’s here. Yet, even though Madness packs the Al McGuire Center every year, it never lives up to the hype. The tension that builds all week crescendos meekly as a half-filled gym sits idly on its hands after the introductions have finished. Looking at other schools’ Madness events, you’d think our team

sucked or something. At Kentucky, people camp out days in advance to snag a ticket for Big Blue Madness. They fill Rupp Arena, their 22,000-seat stadium, year after year and guess what? Nobody leaves early. Granted, we are not as ravenous a fan-base as Kentucky, and it’s not fair to compare us to a school where basketball is a religion. But Madness can be improved and have the results justify the hype. Here are five ideas for doing that: 5. Don’t give out t-shirts at the beginning It happens every year. Lines to enter the Al curl around the 707 building and down Wisconsin Ave. But half the line won’t even step foot in the gym. People simply grab the free t-shirt — or two or three — and go home. This is an insult to true fans everywhere and robs those in the back, who really are fans, of their reward. The simple solution: don’t give out the t-shirts at the start. Either wait until the end to distribute

them, or hand out vouchers redeemable as people file out. This way, there would be a real incentive to stay and be a part of the Madness. 4. Move it to midnight This would be a risky move. On the one hand, it would alienate the older and younger fans who don’t stay up that late. I understand Madness is not simply for students and night owls. On the other hand, pushing back the start time roughly five hours guarantees a much more — how shall I put it —“well-lubricated” crowd. Marquette students are much more passionate in this state, providing a more energetic and exciting atmosphere. 3. Pray As a freshman in 2008 I had no idea how big of a deal Madness was. The “Big Three” ran the school and there was a buzz about coach Buzz Williams. The only thing I remember, though, was the spine-tingling introduction video, See Madness, page 13

Coaching with Bennett, Anderson great opportunity By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu

The player-coach relationship is unique, to say the least. The closest semblance to it is the relationship between parents and their children. It’s a relationship of trust, and a relationship with a clear hierarchy: coach has the final say. When a player becomes a coach on the staff of his former coach, the status quo goes out the window. That was the case for Steve Bode, who’s now in his fourth year as Marquette’s men’s soccer assistant coach.

Bode was a standout defender for current Marquette coach Louis Bennett and associate head coach Stan Anderson at Wisconsin-Milwaukee from 2003-2007. Bode was a captain his sophomore through senior year at Milwaukee. When Bode played under Bennett and Anderson he helped Milwaukee to the Horizon League tournament title and the NCAA Tournament both years. In his Milwaukee career he was twice named Milwaukee’s most valuable player. And afterwards he was drafted by the Chicago Fire of the MLS. He played in three reserve matches before calling it a career as he struggled with knee problems. After all that, he became a colleague of Bennett and Anderson. Bennett never had any hesitation See Coach, page 13

Coach: Transition not easy MU ties for 13th, Motz in top-10 about hiring a former player coming right out of college. But with all hires, there is never a guarantee it will work out. “The only concern you have sometimes is that they’re going to be ‘yes men’ when they really should say, ‘no.’ And he’s not like that,” Bennett said. “I knew he wouldn’t be like that because as a captain (at Milwaukee), when there were issues or there were things that had to be said, he said them.” Bode said there was no hesitation to work with his former coaches. “To get an opportunity to coach with the coaches that you were recruited by, that you played for, that you won championships with, those types of things, not everyone gets an opportunity to do that,” Bode said. “I think for me, I just had a ton of respect — and still do have a ton of respect — for Lou (Bennett) and Stan (Anderson) at that time. So to get offered an opportunity like that, it was almost like a no-brainer for me.” Bennett and Anderson did not recall any awkwardness during Bode’s first year as he fought through the player-coach relationship barrier, but Bode acknowledged difficulties adjusting to the peer relationship. “I think Lou (Bennett) mentioned something that there maybe was a concern that I would be a ‘yes man,’” Bode said, “and I think I probably was a ‘yes man’ for the first year because I was just getting my bearings with Lou (Bennett) and Stan (Anderson) and how much experience they have and how much I respected them. “Why is my opinion going to be valuable to them?” Bode continued. “It was valuable to them because it was a different opin-

ion, and it was from a younger generation closer to the players. I didn’t quite understand that at first because I was thinking, ‘I don’t know what this coaching thing is all about.’ I was just trying to get my feet on the ground.” That was a big reason why Bennett hired Bode, to serve as a bridge between Anderson and him and the players. “He was close enough to the players’ age but far enough from the players’ age to be able to resonate reality with them. This is how you can do it. This is what you can get done,” Bennett said. “Sometimes I think a coach can be older than the students (and) sometimes the student might say, ‘well that was then, but what about now?’ He was a very ‘now’ person.” Now that Bode has three full seasons under his belt, he hopes the ‘yes man’ perception of him has changed. “I was probably a ‘yes man’ for that first year, but I would like to think that they haven’t considered me a ‘yes man’ for the last two

years,” Bode said. But Anderson said if Bode considered himself a ‘yes man’ that he never saw it. “We’ve sat in (our office) as we’re in our office now and we’ve had battles,” Anderson said. “Whether those battles are professionally about selection or whatever they may be, issues that come up within a team or withtin a staff. There’s never been a hesitation or an issue.” And now that Bode’s in his fourth year, Bennett said he’s seen Bode improve his “timing” as a coach. “I’m sure there’s a lot more that he would like to do or like to say sometimes but because of my personality he’s been able to mesh,” Bennett said. “We both get fired up about the same things, we all do, and if I’m fired up those two (Anderson and Bode) can’t get fired up. Or if I’m not, and he is, then that’s OK.”

Nerves get the best of squad in John Dallio Memorial By A.W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s golf team faltered this weekend at the John Dallio Memorial in Lemont, Ill., finishing tied for 13th out of 15 teams at 74-over par. Marquette was 65 strokes back of first place Florida Gulf Coast. More importantly, the team continued to let anxiety negatively affect its performance on the course. “Before the tournament even started I saw some nervous swings, and people were anxious,” sophomore Michael Motz said. “If they can relax out there, scores will go down.” Motz and fellow sophomore Corey Konieczki were the lone bright spots for the Golden Eagles, with Motz leading Marquette with a 1-over par 217. Motz finished tied for second. Konieczki placed in a tie for 22nd with his 11-over par 227 in the 77-man field. He echoed Motz’s sentiments about the team. “Guys have been doing this for three, four years and they weren’t quite mentally prepared,” Konieczki said. “It’s probably a result of weeks past, when we’ve had mixed results.

Instead of focusing on the good, they just focused on the bad.” With three golfers finishing 63rd or worse — freshman Austin Wilson, senior Matt Haase, and junior Ryan Prickette — there was an ample amount of “bad” to focus on. However, coach Steve Bailey believes anxiety was not the primary scapegoat overall. Instead it was a lack of accuracy off the tee. “I wouldn’t say we were nervous,” Bailey said. “But it was just a golf course that if you didn’t hit the ball straight, you got into some big trouble. You were going to be penalized, and it cost us some strokes.” At any rate, the sophomores had it all figured out this weekend at Lemont’s Ruffled Feathers Golf Club. Had Konieczki not struggled with his putting, Marquette could have seen two top10 finishers. “I know that my game is good, and I have the ability to win the golf tournament,” Motz said. “You have to want it, and I want to be the best. Motz described Ruffled Feathers as a “target golf (course),” where the length is less problematic than correct decision-making, execution, and mental toughness. According to Konieczki, this style suited his recent play. “The last couple weeks I hit the ball well,” he said. “I had a lot See Motz, page 16

Madness: Get us Wade “Pray.” I still get chills every time. I suggest using the same video, only with the current players. Nothing will ever be as impactful or descriptive as the Pray video. No need to try and top it. 2. Alumni vs. Current players With the NBA as locked out as ever, it is perfect timing to bring in the old guard to flaunt its stuff. Instead of the usual intra-squad scrimmage, have the alumni play the current players. Who wouldn’t get out of your seat to see Jimmy Butler throw an ally-oop to Wes Matthews? On top of the coolness

factor of having so many pros in the gym at one time, there would be players giving it their all. No way Lazar Hayward wants to get embarrassed by a DJO dunk. Admit it. You’re nodding your head right now. This idea would revolutionize Madness. 1. #BringWadeToMadness An alumni versus young guns battle would be nothing without our most famous alumnus. Dwyane Wade must be there. It’s not a pipedream either. On top of showing interest on Twitter, there are a few similarities to the

last time Flash came, which was 2007. Marquette was getting new uniforms, he couldn’t take part in training camp, and the Golden Eagles were going to be a ranked team. Well what do you know: New uniforms? Yes. No training camp? Si. Ranked team? Yes sir. Hot dog, we’re three for three. Get on the bandwagon while you still can and tweet #BringWadeToMadness. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Two wins away from American Division title Kulla pursues shutout record By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Ho hum, just another 2-0 weekend for the Marquette women’s soccer team (14-2-0, 7-1-0 Big East). On the heels of a pair of 3-0 wins over Providence (5-7-4, 3-5-0 Big East) and Connecticut (6-6-2, 3-3-2 Big East), the Golden Eagles need just one more win in their final three games to clinch at least a tie for second in the American Division of the Big East. “It really was a great weekend for us all around,” coach Markus Roeders said. “We’re really playing well as a team, and it’s all coming together.” In the win over the Huskies on Sunday, Marquette took advantage of two poor decisions by Connecticut’s senior goalkeeper Jessica Dulski on its first two goals and got its third on a powerful strike from senior forward Lindsey Page.

In the 34th minute, sophomore forward Maegan Kelly intercepted a clearance attempt from Dulski, took a few dribbles and fired a shot low into the far corner for her 12th goal of the season. The goal gave the Golden Eagles a 1-0 lead. Sophomore defender Katie Hishmeh picked up her first career goal in the 65th minute after sending a seemingly harmless ball on net from 40 yards out. The ball caromed off Dulski’s hands and trickled into the back of the net. With the goal, 17 players have scored at least once this season. Page added the final tally in the 88th minute. The win Sunday was senior goalkeeper Natalie Kulla’s 54th of her career and her 40th career shutout. She is just four shutouts behind the all-time Division I NCAA record, set by Rutgers’ Erin Guthrie – current women’s professional soccer player on Sky Blue FC. It was also the Golden Eagles’ sixth straight win overall and extended the team’s unbeaten streak at home to 18 games.

Marquette had good reason to celebrate with two 3-0 victories this weekend.

“Natalie is really special and she deserves all the accolades and awards she’s gotten,” Hishmeh said. “The five of us (on the backline) are really confident, and it has shown in our play lately.” Friday’s win over Providence was highlighted by senior defender Kerry McBride’s first goal of the season on a free kick following a yellow card on the Friars’ junior defender Jenna Roncarati. McBride launched the free kick over the Friars’ wall and out of the reach of senior goalkeeper Caitlin Walker. Sophomore midfielders Kate Reigle and Mary Luba also tallied goals in the win. The wins set up crucial road contests against St. John’s (8-61, 4-4-0 Big East) and Syracuse (6-5-3, 5-3-0 Big East) Friday and Sunday, respectively. “It’s really hard to believe that we’re down to three regular season games,” Kelly said. “The season has gone by fast, but we’re ready as a team. And I think we’re playing complete games now.” The Red Storm were routed

at Pittsburgh (2-10-4, 1-5-2 Big East), 6-1 Sunday afternoon, but are 5-1-1 at home this year. The Orange, meanwhile, pose the lone remaining threat to Marquette and West Virginia (11-4-0, 7-1-0 Big East) for the top two spots in the division. The Golden Eagles would en-

sure themselves a bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East Championship tournament with a win over Syracuse, or a combination of a win over St. John’s Friday and a loss or tie by Syracuse against South Florida on Friday.

Men’s club hockey

Despite large crowd, team falls short in home opener First homestand winless for MU

By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

Though Milwaukee would not be considered a hockey town, its proximity to other cities with hockey tradition and the presence of the AHL Milwaukee Admirals help the sport maintain a following. And then there’s the Marquette club hockey team. The team features 23 students whose love for the game — not a Division I scholarship — prompted them to keep skating into their college years in the Silver North Division of the Mid-America Collegiate Hockey Association. For some players the club team was an incentive to attend Marquette. “Part of why I chose Marquette is because they had a team that I could play for and have fun,” sophomore forward Kevin Dolan said. “The last few years I’ve really enjoyed the camaraderie, and we’re really a big group of friends.” Team vice president and junior defenseman Anthony Fabris said the club has grown in leaps and bounds since his freshman year. “During my freshman year we would get one fan bus that we would, maybe, fill for big games,” Fabris said. “By the end of last season we had to leave some fans behind with two full buses, and we were able to fill three for this season’s home opener.” Though Fabris admitted that playing in a non-hockey town can be tough, he considers it as an advantage in attracting fans. “The plus side is that we have less competition with professional teams,” Fabris said. “If we played in Chicago most fans would follow the Blackhawks over their college team, but here I feel like, along with the Admirals, we are the hockey focus of Marquette.” The team faces other club teams from around the Midwest

and even some Division III programs like Northern Illinois, Iowa and Iowa State. Among these schools, team president and senior goalie Richard Bennett said Marquette has the strongest fan base. “Some teams we play don’t even have fans,” Bennett said. “A lot of times just the parents of the guys playing show up.” As captain, Bennett oversees nearly all aspects of running the team, from organizing road trips and practices to purchasing ice time. “The toughest thing is probably getting everybody on the same page,” Bennett said. “When we’re traveling or practicing all 23 of us have different schedules, and it can be pretty challenging at times.” The Golden Eagles played their

first home game at the Ponds of Brookfield (2810 N. Calhoun Road, Brookfield, Wis.) Friday night against Chicago-Loyola in front of a near-capacity 200 fans. Marquette trailed for most of the contest, but Marquette junior Will Jurgensen scored twice in the third period to tie the game at three goals and send it to overtime. Loyola scored the gamewinner a few minutes into the extra period. Saturday’s game against the Ramblers proved to be more offensive than the first but yielded the same outcome, as Marquette lost 10-7 despite a hat trick from freshman forward Tyler Schwichtenberg. The Golden Eagles hope crowds will continue to fill the Ponds for their next home stand against Iowa, Oct. 28 and 29.

Oct. 13, 2007 With Marquette Madness right around the corner, this day in history seems particularly relevant, if only because we wish the same thing will happen in the future. Bring Dwyane Wade to Madness. Well, it actually happened four years ago. Marquette’s favorite son and most famous alumnus returned to where his career was launched, introducing his Brand Wade clothing line and informing the fans they were in “for an incredible night.” With Mr. Final Four himself in attendance, how could it have been any other way?

The sold-out crowd of 4,000 witnessed then-junior guard Jerel McNeal win the slam dunk contest and then-sophomore forward and current Minnesota Timberwolves player Lazar Hayward lead all scorers with 18 points in the scrimmage. But the real story was Wade. At the time he was already an NBA Champion and one of the best players in the league. In the four years since his fame and legacy has magnified ten-fold, which would make his return to Madness an even bigger phenomenon. So let’s make history this weekend. #bringwadetomadness. erik.schmidt@marquette.edu

of confidence going in and my driver and approach shots were there the whole weekend.” Konieczki continued by explaining the effect that a lack of mental preparation can have on golfers. “On birdie opportunities, I’d be thinking, ‘you have to make this’ and it all got into my head. You become just be fidgety and nervous,” he said. Moving forward, the team can ill-afford another case of nervousness, as next weekend’s Windon Memorial Classic features some of the best amateur competition in the country. Host Northwestern boasts seven players coming off invitations to the

2011 Western Amateur Championship, while UCLA brings the world’s No.1 ranked amateur golfer in sophomore Patrick Cantlay. No matter the competition, Motz characterized the team’s performance in Lemont as “disappointing.” “Individually, I think I’m coming on and in the right place to go forward,” he said. “But our team doesn’t reflect how far we’ve worked. We need to improve.” Bailey is confident that improvement will come, saying, “The field this weekend is going to challenge us, but I believe we are ready to accept it.”
