n the heart of Milwaukee, the Marquette women’s basketball team is making more than just plays on the court. The team makes it a goal to improve the lives of others around them. “It’s really good to connect with the kids in local communities. Our first game is a kids game and it’s really nice to interact with them in different settings, not just here at the Al McGuire Center where we only get limited time with them because it’s a game day,” sophomore forward Charia Smith said. “We get to know them and talk with them on a personal level, which is really fun.” Through basketball, Smith said she has been able to become a mentor in the Milwaukee community. “It’s given me a good platform in a way. Just being an athlete here at Marquette, people look up to us as athletes and what we say and how they perceive us is very important,” Smith said. “Using that platform in a positive way to spread information about justice

and reform.” But it’s not just about speaking out. It’s also about giving back. This year, Marquette has participated in community service events within Milwaukee. The team had a “Try-it” clinic with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Wisconsin Adaptive Sports Association to play wheelchair basketball. Marquette also participated in a “Rise-Up” Mentor program with WASA. Marquette went to St. Rose Catholic Grade School in Milwaukee for a day of reading, something they are looking to do more times throughout the year. The Golden Eagles plan on returning to the Ronald McDonald House to prepare breakfast for children in need. One of the team’s annual initiatives is a free basketball clinic in partnership with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which took place in September this year. Smith said this is her favorite way the team connects with the community. “We go into a park, and whoever is able to show up they can just come through,” Smith said. “It’s like our own skills camp, but it’s for free and it’s just a really fun time to give back.” The team has plans
to expand the way in which it serves the neighboring communities. They will be participating in “Adopt-a-Family” for the holiday season through NextDoor, an early childhood education center. They will also be doing the “Read to Me” program Nov. 30 with NextDoor, where athletes will have the chance to read with a student. Along with upcoming tutoring sessions and serving

meals to the Milwaukee community with StreetAngels, the Golden Eagles plan on continuing their acts of service. Senior guard Rose Nkumu said that head coach Megan Duffy is a big part as to why the team gives back. She has not just been a leader on the court, but also a good role model in the Milwaukee community. “Coach Duffy has a great understanding of what goes on outside of what just
happens on campus and what happens around us,” Nkumu said. “She gives us the opportunity and platform as athletes to come and talk about any issues that we need to talk through and just express our feelings.” So while Marquette is hitting shots and earning stops all season long, know its impact on Milwaukee goes beyond the Al McGuire Center.

Students find bugs in Schroeder salads
Lettuce supplier switched after first incident By Sophia Tiedge
sophia.tiedge@marquette.edu
Emily Ellingson, a firstyear in the College of Health Sciences, said she usually goes to Schroeder every Wednesday. On Oct. 25, she said she ordered her usual: a chicken Caesar salad. “I was socializing and talking with friends, and I ate the whole salad, looked down and realized there was something that had legs and an antenna in the salad. This bug was not a normal fruit fly that you may find in lettuce, rather it was very large,” Ellingson said. Ellingson said she alerted one of the chefs, and she said the chef offered her a different dish or a new salad. “He told me that they have been having fruit fly problems recently, but that is about it. I was hesitant to alert the staff because I didn’t think that there was much they could do about it, which is true, but I decided to anyways because I wouldn’t want anyone else to find a bug in their salad,” Ellingson said. Similarly, Kelly Gill, a sophomore in the College of Communication, ordered a
chicken Caesar salad from the Schroeder dining hall on Oct. 25. She got halfway done eating the salad before finding a bug on the lettuce. “All I could think of was, I was mid-eating that salad, ‘What if there was another bug, did I eat some of the bug? Were there more?’” Gill said. Right after finding the bug, Gill said she took it directly back to the kitchen. She said she brought it up to one of the workers who scans the IDs at the dining hall and the worker called over one of the chefs. “I said to the man, ‘If this doesn’t show you that the kitchens need to be cleaned and food needs to be made better, I don’t know what does.’ To me, it was like he didn’t even care and didn’t want to tell anyone. He actually told me to go get a new one … and that was it,” Gill said. After this, Gill said she didn’t want to make a bigger scene and left the dining hall. “The lettuce that we use is bagged, precut, pre-washed lettuce. When I was made aware that there was an incident of a bug being found by a student, the lettuce was immediately removed from use,” Stephen Lozotte, Schroeder chef manager, wrote in a statement. Lozotte said the lettuce supplier was switched to a
different one after the first incident was recorded. “We take food safety very seriously at Sodexo, with many strict standards in place. We also have an ‘A’ rating from the local Health Department,” Lozotte wrote. Melanie Vianes, general manager of Marquette Dining Services, said that they were only aware of one incident. “If anything like this happens, we want the student to come to the team,” Vianes said. “Things do happen with pre-washed lettuce … that’s something we would usually catch, and maybe we did not this one time.” Vianes said the management team works very hard and takes these matters seriously. “The Schroeder Dining Team take so much care and pride in everything they do and were saddened to have this occur. We encourage students to share any feedback they have directly with our teams at the dining halls. We always look forward to speaking with Marquette students and staff about how we can make their dining experience the best it can be,” Vianes wrote in an email. Vianes said that the dining hall management team conducts internal food and physical safety audits on a monthly basis, and formal training is held with

The festivities didn’t end there: Students had the opportunity to make their own tamales as music consisting of Spanish lyrics filled the room. The event was led by Melanie Vianes, general manager of Marquette Dining Services. As the demonstration began, Vianes spoke about the meaning and history of the Ofrenda. Vianes displayed her personal Ofrenda, explaining that often the Ofrenda is decorated with some of the deceased loved one’s favorite food and drinks. Vianes spoke about why food is an important aspect of the celebration. “Food is an offering and remembrance of what your loved ones have eaten,” Vianes said. Vianes explained that the recipe she presented was a recipe commonly used by her family during her childhood while she grew up in south Texas. Students were able to watch the preparation of the tamales. Stepby-step, Vianes demon-
strated the cooking process and presented her skills in the kitchen. Tamales have two main components: the dough and filling. Vianes led students through the steps to seasoning and preparing the filling. Emma Coon, a first-year student in the College of Health Sciences studying exercise physiology, observed the 40-minute cooking process and preparation for the tamales, noting the time it takes. “It’s a lengthy process, and many need to be prepared for the celebration,” Coon said. Vianes spoke about the overall importance of food and culture, as well as her goal through hosting the event. “I wanted to pair culture with cuisine. Food is an expression of so many different cultures. I want to ignite awareness through food and also become a resource on campus for diversity and inclusion,” Vianes said. For some, this was their first time celebrating Día de los Muertos. Some groups of friends laughed and talked their way through making their first ever tamales, as they attempted to fill and wrap them.

employees upon hire and on a monthly basis. These two incidents, however, have had an impact on Gill’s and Ellingson’s trust in the dining halls. “This experience has made me not want to eat here. I can’t trust the dining halls anymore. All I think about is the [bug] in my salad and how they dealt with this situation. I would rather go walk to 7/11 and buy more snacks with my own money than eat anything from Schroeder, let alone any dining hall,” Gill said. Ellingson said the experience has increased her anxiety about eating food from the dining halls. “Socializing is an
important aspect of going to get food, so you don’t really think about examining your food with each bite,” Ellington said. “I have not ordered another salad yet and I find myself looking through my food first. I think it will take me a while to order another salad and when I do, I will make sure I am looking at what I eat.” Gill hopes that the dining halls take this seriously and find a way to implement some change. “What needs to change in the dining halls is the food period. The food needs to be better and [to be] made better. We are paying a lot not to get good quality food,” Gill said.
Patricia Dawidoicz, a firstyear student in the College of Health Sciences, talked about her experience celebrating Día de los Muertos for the first time. “I took away the very positive environment that has been created here,” Dawidoicz said. Vianes said that she was striving to have a positive
outcome for those who celebrate Día de los Muertos annually and for those who are celebrating for the first time. “It creates awareness to the cultural aspect of it, and it’s nice to remember loved ones that have passed in a celebratory way,” Vianes said.

Día de los Muertos translates to “Day of the Dead,” and is celebrated as a time to remember deceased loved ones. The celebration runs from Nov. 1 to Nov. 2. Despite originating in Mexico, it is celebrated in many Latin American countries and by descendants of Latin American heritage all over the world. The innovation kitchen inside the Alumni Memorial Union is a room that consists of a built-in kitchen and seating area. Cooking classes and events that involve a cooking demo are often hosted there. On the evening of Nov. 1, dining services hosted a celebration for Día de los Muertos in the innovation kitchen. Papel picados are bright pieces of tissue paper that are strung across streets and houses; different colors have different meanings, such as celebration (pink) or the grief of mourning (purple).

Cobeen closed
Cobeen’s water was temporarily shut off Sunday night. In a statement, the residence hall staff said that the water was shut off due to the dangerously high temperature. After resolving this issue, a broken valve caused the residence hall to have no access to hot water. In the statement, they said a repair team was called in to hopefully fix the issue before the end of the day on Monday.
Due to the broken valve, Luke Waldbillig, Cobeen residence hall director, said the dining hall will be closed while repairs are happening. He said they hope to have the repairs done by Tuesday. As of Monday evening, the dining hall was still closed. The Cobeen dining hall closed from Sept. 30 to Nov. 1 due to plumbing issues before closing again on Sunday.

They host fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for their camps over the summer.

During this specific fundraiser, the ground was covered in snow and some volunteers were standing outside for hours, layered up with coats, hats and gloves to stay warm. “We would do anything for the kids, like standing out in the snow.

James Valentine: from Wall Street to academia Leaving behind lucrative career for the classroom By Uzair Qhavi
uzair.qhavi@marquette.edu
James Valentine, a professor in the College of Business Administration, spent over a decade on Wall Street where he played an instrumental role in equity research and management. There, he led multiple successful equity research projects and managed a team of financial analysts. He began as an equity research analyst in 1992 working at a few firms early in his career. Valentine now runs the Applied Investment Management program at Marquette along with Jospeh Wall, executive director of the AIM program and director of Applied Disruptive Technologies Initiative at Marquette. “In 2006, I was gonna retire and my boss asked me if I’d stay and take on a new role that we’re gonna create for me, which was gonna be the head of global training for Morgan Stanley’s Equity Research Department,” Valentine said. Valentine said he was initially shocked when he was given the news. “They said, ‘We know you’re really good at training people,’ because I trained all my associates over the years
and they went on to do great things,” Valentine said. However, a growing interest in academia led him to make a pivotal decision in his professional journey. “So, to have a firm that size, that big of a department, I think we had about a thousand employees globally, for them to ask me to be in charge of that was like, wow, so maybe I’m actually decent at this,” Valentine said. “That was probably the first time I started thinking about teaching.” He began his teaching journey in the classroom when his friend Paul told him that a university was looking for practitioners to teach students. “The first quarter I taught, it went well. In fact, they wound up opening up two sections of the course, because there was so much demand. And I started saying, you know what, maybe this is something that I enjoy doing, and students seem to like it,” Valentine said. Valentine began his teaching career at DePaul University where he taught in the finance department and later joined the Doctor of Business Administration Program, completing his degree in 2021. He started working at Marquette in June 2022. “It’s really helping the students understand the principles of finance and to help them land good jobs are the real rewards I find out of it,”
Valentine said. Bassel Fouad, a Marquette alum and former student of Valentine, said that Valentine wanted to inspire people and also influence people while touching peoples’ hearts at the same time. Fouad said Valentine’s unique approach in academia is what really sets him apart from other professors. Fouad said he not only cares about academic success but also takes a genuine interest in students’ personal lives. “He is actually one of the few teachers and professors that will actually try to be acquaintances with you just besides having a professional relationship. He’ll actually try to see how your day is going and how your family is doing, which is very rare in the academia world,” Fouad said. “He will try to push the students to do the best that they can, even when they doubt themselves, because he knows what their true intentions are when they put in the hard work and full potential.” Gus Chiarello, a senior in the College of Business Administration, said that he finds it great that Valentine left Wall Street to give back to others. “He’s made enough money already, instead of going out and trying to make more, he went and put himself in a position where he could help others succeed and make an impact,” Chiarello said.
in the classroom up to the professor. “The university strongly recommends that each instructor make clear both in a course’s syllabus and during class time what the specific expectations for that class are about these new technologies,” the academic integrity board wrote in a statement. Giving instructors control allows them to utilize any AI programs in their classrooms. This also sets a guideline for what crosses the line when it comes to academic integrity by making it intentionally vague.
However, Riyeff said he does agree that, if used when permitted, AI could be beneficial for its applications. Riyeff said that the board had some varying opinions of what the new statement should look like. But overall he said that everyone came to an even consensus of what the statement should look like. “Certainly some people think that it’s inevitable and want to let it happen. But I’ve been trying to forge a middle path for myself very deliberately. But yes, I’ve heard many different takes on what we should do and for right now the middle path has prevailed for the moment and we’ll have to see where it goes,” Riyeff said Given the different opinions of AI, Riyeff’s approach allows for AI to be used when appropriate, yet not letting it be applied to everything. Similarly, computer science professor and Chair Michael Zimmer, believes that AI’s evolution can be daunting. “I tend to be less enthusiastic about these things like

Fouad said some of the biggest lessons he has learned from Valentine was in the AIM program and also through his book, “Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts: Essentials for Buy-Side and Sell-Side Analysts.” As for his content with the new job, Valentine said he’s just as happy working academia as he was in the world of finance, but for different reasons. “It’s very rewarding working with students and I thoroughly enjoy it. It gives me an emotional boost,” Valentine said. “Whereas when I worked on Wall Street, it
was very fast-paced. And I worked with some of the most talented people in the world, which had its own benefits. And so I like both jobs.” As for some of his students, Valentine is more than just a teacher, but an ongoing person in their life. “Dr. Valentine is a part of my family now. He is someone that I will continuously talk to, and not just about academia, but I will also check in on how his family is doing as well,” Fouad said. “He is always on my mind and I always want to make him proud.”
ChatGPT are actually able to do. I think that they’re very clever at predicting sentences and able to trait things that seem truthful and human-like and sometimes it’s really amusing. But it is simply just really good math. So, I am really cautious to use it in any other way other than playing around with it,” Zimmer said. Zimmer said that if used in a way that stays within academic boundaries, AI could be beneficial to students who need help. “I tend not to be in the camp of just completely banning AI altogether. Especially for students where English isn’t their first language and who may struggle with writing. Tools like this can provide a little assistance and confidence for them,” Zimmer said. Zimmer offers other ways that AI might be used beneficially. He said that, like Riyeff, he doesn’t want to see this form of intelligence taken too far.
uses to help her studies. She explains that her major, cognitive sciences, incorporates AI into helping students with the different programs they are developing. “Sometimes I use ChatGPT to formulate what I want out of a Python Program,” Moren said. She explains that Python programming can be used to develop different softwares and programs. She uses AI to help check her work when making these programs. “So, if I’m confused on a loop, which is to make something run continuously, then I can plug in certain parts of my program to help me check it. But it is not generally encouraged to plug your whole assignment in,” Moren said. Moren said she has mixed feelings on how AI can be used. “I think it’s interesting. It’s growing so much and so quickly that it can be a little scary. But it definitely is something I feel we have to progress as a society in order to get through to a point where it can be really helpful,” Moren said.
Board of Academic Integrity addresses AI
Professors can determine policy for their courses By Bridget Lisle
bridget.lisle@marquette.edu
Recent developments in artificial intelligence are causing debates worldwide about how society will deal with these new systems. Many institutions are creating policies regarding how this new technology will be used appropriately in an academic setting. Marquette’s Board of Academic Integrity released a statement on the usage of AI and how the university plans to address it. However, Marquette has not given an official policy on the usage of AI itself. Instead, the statement made clear guidelines for teachers and students on what to expect with this new extension of technology.

Jacob Riyeff, teaching associate professor of English and director of the Academic Integrity Board, said that he disagrees with the evolution of AI. “I am not someone who cares much for computing for its own sake.

New year, new faces
Duffy welcomes six new players and two coaches By Mikey Severson
michael.severson@marquette.edu
Marquette women’s basketball has a lot of new pieces at its disposal this season. With six new players and two new assistant coaches, the Golden Eagles look to build off last season, which saw them play in the NCAA Tournament. “I couldn’t be more thrilled about the women we have brought into this program,” head coach Megan Duffy said.
Players Departed
Marquette had eight players leave the program from last season’s team with six of them having graduated and two left via entering the transfer portal. Guard Emily La Chapell transferred to Belmont after her first season as a Golden Eagle. She averaged 5.3 points and three rebounds per game and was a unanimous selection to last year’s All-Big East Freshman Team. Sophomore forward Makiyah Williams transferred to the University of Illinois-Chicago after averaging 2.6 points per game last season. Forward Juliana Okosun graduated in three years but
elected to not use her fourth year of eligibility. The Copenhagen, Denmark native returned to her hometown, and now plays professionally for Falcon Basketball in Denmark’s Kvindebasketligaen as a center. Former forward Chloe Marotta was one of five seniors to graduate, finishing last year as the team’s leading rebounder averaging nine boards per game. Guards Nia Clark and Nirel Lougbo, and forward Kennedi Myles round out the departures. With all the players that have left the program, Marquette has looked to the transfer portal and recruiting to fill the gaps and See NEW page 7
“Thunderstruck” rang in the new basketball season in front of 3,000 Milwaukee Public School students Monday afternoon at the Al McGuire Center. The Golden Eagles opened head coach Megan Duffy’s fifth season at the helm with an 84-51 win over the University of Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks. “I’m really proud of the overall effort for 40 minutes,” Duffy said. “The balanced scoring we had mixed with reacting to their different defenses was great.”
Marquette started the game down 2-0, but after sophomore guard Mackenzie Hare made her presence felt, it was 8-2 Golden Eagles. Hare went on a personal 8-0 run featuring two layups and net swooshing 3-pointer, helping Marquette get out to a 12-11 lead going into the first timeout. The Golden Eagles went on a 33-16 run over the next 15 minutes of play, closing out the first half with a steal and score from senior guard Rose Nkumu to go ahead 45-27 heading into halftime. “We were able to bring a lot of energy, and hitting shots is good, but we stressed that everything started on the defensive end,” Hare said. Marquette did the dirty work needed on the defensive end in the first half, forcing 12

King aims high for fifth and final season
Illinois native has started in every game at MU By Sophia Woods
sophia.woods@marquette.edu
Jordan King has started in every game during her time as a Golden Eagle. Averaging 15.9 points, four assists and two steals last year along with earning All-Big East First Team (2022-23), King continues her legacy for her fifth and final year of eligibility. “I’m really excited to be able to take advantage of the opportunity, and to put the Marquette jersey on
and play it here at the Al again for one more year is really exciting,” King said. “Even just to give everything I have back to the program for another year too and just to be surrounded by these girls, I’m just really excited to see what the season brings and take full advantage of it.” Head coach Megan Duffy said that King’s commitment to the program has been a driving factor in her success. “Jordan has high goals, lofty expectations,” Duffy said. “She was obviously a first-team all-league player, statistically she continues to improve in every category.”
Many factors went into King’s decision to play a fifth year. She has ambitions to play professionally and is pursuing her master’s degree in school counseling. But, even though there are a lot of paths King can take in the future, she is fully focused on her final season as a Golden Eagle. “I think that (obviously could) look a different number of ways and something that I don’t want my full focus on until the season is over with,” King said. “I want everything to be dedicated to Marquette until that time is up, but definitely want to pursue professional basketball after this.” King’s master’s degree
means she spends a lot of time working with different schools and kids in the Milwaukee area. Duffy said the coaching staff has been a support system for King because she is juggling a lot. “It is nonstop for Jordan King right now and I know she’s gonna be excited to start games, but I just love learning, what her days look like,” Duffy said. “I always ask her, ‘What do you need help from me with?’ and ‘What can the staff help you with?’ because she’s taken on a lot. And she’s doing it really well. Which is really cool.” Duffy and King have been See AIMS page 8

START: Dominant win over UT-Martin Continued from page 5
UT-Martin turnovers and drawing several charges, part of the Skyhawks’ 12 personal fouls in the first half. “The biggest key to the game was going to outscrap the other,” Duffy said. “Rose Nkumu drawing four charges and our ability to stick with the game plan regarding their movement and dribble penetration helped us be in the right spot at the right time.”
Hot-Hands Hare and Nkumu
Hare did it all for Marquette in the first half, shooting a perfect 4-for-4
from the field and 2-for-2 from beyond the arc, tallying 11 points and dishing out three assists. She finished with 17 points, tied her career-high of four assists and shot 6-for-11 from the field. “She has a great craftiness to her game and she looks confident on the floor,” Duffy said. “She’s a spark for us and a steady presence whether she’s in the lineup or off the bench.” In the second half, Nkumu traded for Hare’s hand-warmer, shooting 3-for-3 in the second half and finishing with 12 points overall. She also added 10 assists — notching her first double-double of the sea-
son — four blocks and three steals. “I knew they would be aggressive in their zone defenses, so we wanted to move the ball quickly, so I credit my teammates for being able to make their shots and make my job easy,” Nkumu said.
Statistical leaders
Marquette had six players score in double figures, including senior guard Jordan King (14 points) and junior guard Lee Volker (13 points), who transferred from Duke. “There will be a lot of people incorporated in the offense,” Nkumu said. “We have worked a lot on our ball movement and getting everyone involved.”
For UT-Martin, redshirt first-year Kenley McCarn finished with a team-high 15 points, shooting 5-for-14 from the field.
Big presence
Senior forward Liza Karlen ended last season on a hot streak, scoring over 10 points in five of the final six games. She started her this season in similar fashion, picking up her first double-double on the season, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds. First-year forward Skylar Forbes also added 14 points and two boards in her first collegiate game. “Skylar looked tough inside, she was ready to
contribute and our guards got her some good looks,” Duffy said. “Liza will be our anchor all year long, she does a great job of helping our younger players and scoring and getting rebounds on her own.”
Up next
The Golden Eagles (10) host the No. 23 ranked Fighting Illini of Illinois at the Al McGuire Center on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 2 p.m. CST. “They’re dynamic with their guard play and their team is always tough as nails,” Duffy said. “An early test on our home floor will be great for both programs.”

Marotta leaves family legacy at Marquette Former forward starts a new chapter abroad By Sofie Hanrahan
sofia.hanranah@marquette.edu
Chloe Marotta is Marquette basketball royalty. In her six years playing for the Blue and Gold, Marotta made quite a legacy for herself. From All-Big East First Team in the 2022-23 season, to Big East Sportsmanship Award in the 2021-22 season, to passing her father in all–time rebounds at Marquette, her accomplishments are endless. Her father Marc played for Marquette men’s basketball from 1980-84 and is the only three-time First Team Academic All-American selection in program history. Her brother Cam and grandfather also played for the Golden Eagles. This spring, her reign came to an end, at least at Marquette. After graduating in the spring, Chloe went on to spend her summer coaching Club 52, a girls club in Mequon. Now, she is overseas playing basketball for BGK Prima in the Hungary league. The 5,000-mile difference between Milwaukee and Hungary does not hinder Marotta’s impact on the program. “Chloe accomplished so much here, and she’s the
epitome of every year getting better,” head coach Megan Duffy said. “She’s doing an incredible job overseas now. Her numbers are awesome, she’s loving it over there. So it’s fun to even just text with her and talk to her.” Without Marotta, the Golden Eagles are utilizing their six returning players and six new faces. Enter graduate student guard/forward Frannie Hottinger. “Frannie’s been a great addition as somebody that was an All-League Player of the Year in the Patriot League at Lehigh, just can score the basketball, she can rebound,” Duffy said. “She’s a workhorse, and is one of those players that said ‘I’ll do whatever you need me to do, whether that’s score, rebound, defend or make the assist.’” One of Marotta’s greatest contributions to Marquette was her ability to rebound. Last season, she averaged a team-high nine rebounds per contest, while senior forward Liza Karlen grabbed 7.4 rebounds per game. Losing monumental players is not an unfamiliar feeling for Karlen, who dealt with the loss of former forward Lauren Van Kleunen last season, but neither is stepping up to fill bigger shoes on the court. “I have a lot of pieces around me to help me do that,” Karlen said. “You’re
never gonna replace a Lauren Van Kleunen, you’re never gonna replace a Chloe Marotta, but I have a Frannie Hottinger this year and we’re very excited for her, and then we have some great freshman. I know it’s not gonna be all me, and I have the pieces in place to help me fill those shoes a little bit.” Replacing Marotta is not just finding someone to put up big numbers, but embracing her mentality that left such a huge impact on the program. “One of the best things about Chloe was her commitment to this place and how that allowed her to just get better every single year,” associate head coach Justine Raterman said. “She didn’t come in even to her senior year thinking I’m going to be a first–team all– conference kid. It was just a gradual thing and it was whatever this team needs. That’s the biggest thing we’re looking to replace is more people like her and we have a lot of them.” Sophomore forward Charia Smith said she is already taking steps forward in adopting this mentality. “Chloe was just a tremendous leader, and she’s been here for so long, so I got to learn so much from her just in a little span of time,” Smith said. “What’s really important is the mindset of it all. She was the epitome of hard work beats out
talent, and she’s proved that all of her career.” However, with any player like Chloe, Duffy said some things just can’t be replaced. “We knew we’re not gonna be able to replace one player like her and all the intangible things she did every single day of practice, in the locker room and on the court,” Duffy said. “What we’re trying to do is just have a collective effort, everybody rebound a little bit more, everybody step up and use their voice a little bit more.” Losing Marotta is not a
dead end for Marquette, but rather a new beginning for players like Frannie Hottinger to create their own legacy. “Liza and Charia are doing a great job with the forward group of the leadership and mentality. They understand the expectations, they understand what it takes and that’s been huge,” Raterman said. “I’m really excited about our new guys, bringing in somebody like Frannie who has many years of experience, and then two freshmen who are very talented.”

continue the program’s winning tradition.
Transfer Portal Acquisitions
Although the Golden Eagles lost two players by way of the transfer portal, they also gained four players through it in the offseason. Junior guard Lee Volker comes from Duke, averaging 4.3 points and three rebounds per game for the Blue Devils last season. Sophomore guard Bridget Utberg transferred to Marquette from Central Michigan, where she averaged 12.5 points per game and was named to the All-MAC Freshman Team. Junior forward Abbey Cracknell transfers to Marquette after spending her last two seasons at Gulf Coast State College in Florida. Graduate student Frannie Hottinger offers an immediate impact for Marquette, being able to play both the guard and forward positions. With Lehigh last year, the Inver Grove Heights, Min-
nesota native was named Patriot League Player of the Year, earning a spot in Lehigh’s thousand-point club while averaging 20.3 points per game.
Incoming First-Years
Marquette signed two first-year players in addition to its four transfer portal additions. Guard Halle Vice comes to the Golden Eagles from Bettendorf, Iowa where she played for Pleasant Valley High School, guiding the team to a state championship last year, as well being as the school’s all-time leading scorer and earning the single-season point record with 533 points in her senior season at Pleasant Valley. Forward Skylar Forbes comes from Ontario, Canada and attended Scarborough Prep. Forbes averaged 17.8 points per game, eight rebounds and two blocks per game in her senior season. She was also a member of the U18 Canadian national team in 2022.
Fresh Coaching Perspective
New assistant coach Kayla Kleifgen comes to Marquette after spending six years as a recruiting coordinator and last year was promoted to associate head coach for Northern Kentucky, said she has bought into Duffy’s philosophy.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled about the women we have brought into this program.”
Megan Duffy Women’s basketball head coach
“When you come into a new program and get implemented with all the new players and all the new staff, you hope that they’re just
amazing, great and wonderful people, and that’s what’s here at Marquette,” Kleifgen said. “Coach Duffy has done a great job of putting a staff and team together that is truly enjoyable to be around every day and work extremely hard, and have had success on the court, so it’s fantastic to be here.” Assistant coaches Kelly Komara and Tasha Taylor left the program after the 2022-23 season, with Komara returning to Purdue as associate head coach after previously playing and coaching there. As for Taylor, she joined the University of Central Florida Knights’ program as an assistant coach. In addition to adding Kleifgen, Marquette brought in Khadijah Rushdan, who spent the last five seasons at North Florida as an assistant coach. Prior to coaching, Rushdan played professional basketball in the WNBA and overseas. Justine Raterman, who served as an assistant coach since joining Duffy’s staff in 2019, was promoted to associate head
coach for Marquette this past offseason.
Gelling together
With all the roster turnover, the Golden Eagles needed to build team chemistry fast, which they did on their international trip to Europe in August. “I grew relationships with people that I didn’t have before, as well as the scrimmages; that went really well,” Utberg said. Senior guard Claire Kaifes said she feels good about the team cohesion. “Especially all of our newcomers, they’re just sponges absorbing as much knowledge as they can, and they’re doing a great job of adapting on the fly and learning new things every day,” Kaifes said. Kleifgen said that the newcomers have made a huge impact in embracing the team-first mentality to help the whole team as they gear up for the start of the season, in addition to the overall program’s attitude and work ethic.

Coaches reunite on the court Tsipis coached Duffy at Notre Dame in 2003 By Matthew Baltz
matthew.baltz@marquette.edu
One of the first phone calls Advisor for Scouting and Analytics Jonathan Tsipis received after he was let go as head coach of the Wisconsin women’s basketball team in the spring of 2021, was from an old friend. That old friend was Marquette women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy, Tsipis’ former player. Duffy and Tsipis’ relationship goes back to 2003 when Duffy was a sophomore on the Notre Dame women’s basketball team, with whom Tsipis had just landed an assistant coaching job under future hall of fame coach Muffet McGraw. “It’s been a great relationship that started when she was 19 as player-coach,” Tsipis said. McGraw, now a women’s basketball analyst at the ACC network, wrote in an email that Tsipis has always been optimistic. “Tsip was always high energy. He never had a bad day,” McGraw wrote. He was super positive and optimistic and always looked for the bright side of things.” In the year after Tsipis was fired, he took a ‘basketball sabbatical’. Tsipis also used his year away from the sport to rekindle some old relationships. “It helped me to get out and see people who had been influential in my basketball life and sit down and talk with them and watch their teams’ practices,” Tsipis said. “I had done that on several occasions here at Marquette.” During one of those visits to Marquette, Tsipis met yet another old friend, but this

time it was Marquette vice president and director of athletics Bill Scholl. Scholl and Tsipis had known each other from their time together at Notre Dame where they worked for the same athletic department for nine years. They were neighbors during that time as well. “He (Scholl) had actually came and sat with me at practice and just talked about you know, ‘You need to be back on the bench, you need to be back in the game,” Tsipis said. And then, in the fall of 2022, Tsipis did just that. When a position on the Marquette women’s basketball staff opened up, Tsipis took advantage of an opportunity that he couldn’t pass up. “I missed that day–to–day of working with a team and working with a staff and everything. Looking at a new role, I was really excited about it,” Tsipis said. Duffy said Tsipis’s extensive coaching experience has been very helpful to have on the staff. “Him being a head coach in the past, he knows all of the little things that matter,” Duffy said. “He has a
great basketball mind. He helps us with so many little things, the analytics, the scouting.” Tsipis taking on his role as advisor for scouting and analytics on Duffy’s staff marked the third different school that the two individuals had been at together. After Duffy’s playing career ended in 2009, she turned her focus to coaching. After a brief three– year stint as an assistant at St. John’s, Duffy joined the women’s basketball staff at George Washington University where Tsipis had just become the head coach. Tsipis said that all it took was one interview at George Washington for him to see what Duffy was capable of. “I’ve seen a lot of players that have gone into coaching, and there was no question the first time I met her in my interview she would be doing that one day at a really high level,” Tspis said. Taking the analytics role at Marquette marked Tsipis’ first non-coaching related job since 2003 when he was the director of operations for men’s basketball at UNC Greensboro. Tsipis can often be seen
hyping up his team and the crowd on the sidelines at the Al McGuire Center, something that he says he may have done in the past, but can do more freely now with less responsibilities. “Last year was such an unbelievable experience of being back in the game, I think some of that just trickled out,” Tsipis said. “I may

said. “I think that connection is different from us to some of the other players just because of the trust that she puts into us.” King is one of seven upper-level students on the team currently. With the Golden Eagles welcoming in six new faces this season, Duffy said King has been a key factor in the smooth transition. “The most important thing that we all know about Jordan is she’s so selfless,” Duffy said. “She puts the team in front of any of her individual accolades and continues to just be a staple and a great mentor for our younger players
as well.” And a mentor she is. Sophomore guard Kenzie Hare said King’s influence has stood out to the newcomers in a number of different ways. “Yeah, she helps me a lot, especially with the experience she has,” Hare said. “She’s been starting since her freshman year, so she’s definitely, helped me through my freshman year last year. Just like the ups and downs, as well as just like her leadership on the floor. She’s very vocal, helps us through things. She’s like a lead voice in our program.” King has one year left
have done it as a head coach too, but you have a few more responsibilities as a head coach.” Senior guard Rose Nkumu said that Tsipis ‘radiates’ energy every time he walks into the gym. “When he comes in the gym he’s hyping us up, he’s giving high fives, he brings all the energy,” Nkumu said. “It’s good to have someone like that on your team.” Duffy said that Tsipis wants to help in any way that he can. “When I kinda look over and say ‘Hey, I need more energy’, he’s the first one. He doesn’t care what people think of him he’s just there to help this program be successful,” Duffy said. As year two at Marquette approaches for Tsipis, he said that he is excited to continue to be a part of a program on the rise. “What a great opportunity for me to be able to feel like I can help be part of a program (that) continues to rise”

Because of this, she said the differentials in leadership among upper-level students is a strength for Marquette. “Having the multiple returners with experience, especially for seniors with that experience is really important.

Improve bike friendliness
Editorial Board
The Marquette Tribune
Opinions
By Joseph Schamber
joseph.schamber@marquette.edu
Milwaukee has historically been ranked a top city for bicyclists, but steps still need to be taken to make the Brew City more bike friendly. Poor bicycle infrastructure has been a major problem for riders in Milwaukee. While communities here are relatively compact and easy to commute to by bike, the lack of protected bike lanes makes the journey more difficult as cyclists must share treacherous roads with cars. The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration asserts that most serious bicycle accidents occur on non-intersection roads where motorists overtake cyclists. The difference in size and speed leads to more severe injuries for riders, and in most surveys, fear of injury on the road has been one of the most significant factors deterring people from using bicycles to commute. Fortunately, the construction of protected bike lanes greatly reduces the threat to rider safety. Building protected
bike lanes in major cities has resulted in fewer crashes and an increase in cyclist participation and comfort. Milwaukee has made its own moves to increase the number of protected bike lanes. The city has awarded grants to projects that seek to build protected bike and pedestrian trails. These grants also seek to increase multimodal safety on roads with improved marking and protected or buffered bike lanes on various streets. The city also received a nearly $220,000 federal grant last month to improve bike infrastructure. The 2024 budget adopted by Milwaukee’s Common Council allocated $250,000 for bicycle infrastructure, half of the $500,000 originally proposed by Mayor Cavalier Johnson. Unfortunately, many Milwaukee lawmakers still do not see bicycle infrastructure as a priority. Poor infrastructure is not the only thing keeping bikes off the streets, though. Milwaukee cyclists are also concerned about bike thefts, which remains a common problem across American cities.
The Milwaukee Bike Theft Reduction Initiative has made efforts to reduce theft in the city. A bike index has been created to register bicycles, so they are easier for police to identify, recover and return to their owners. Guidelines from the Milwaukee Police Department also recommend purchasing quality U-Locks. They recommend not purchasing a lock that costs any less than $40. It would be ideal if the city, to encourage better bike safety, could provide these locks to residents for a lower cost. However, this would need substantial funding as the budget for bicycle infrastructure is already quite meager. Even the strongest locks are not infallible though, and locking bikes up overnight can greatly increase your chances of having your bike stolen. It is recommended to store bikes inside, but that is impossible for many Milwaukee residents who live in compact apartment buildings. One solution for these individuals is the creation of bike corrals located within parking garages. The Wells Street parking
structure on Marquette’s campus has a corral that keeps bikes safely locked up overnight for students who cannot store them in their rooms. This practice should be common in parking structures all over the city. Additionally, bike racks should be more heavily surveilled, with proper warnings to discourage theft. To increase the number of cyclists in Milwaukee, people need to feel comfortable that their property will be safely protected by the city. It is in every Milwaukee resident’s interest to improve our city’s bike friendliness. Studies show that cities with more bicycles on the road are healthier, have better air quality and save money. Marquette students especially benefit from greater access to transportation options to use for commuting to work and classes. Milwaukee should be applauded for its work on improving bicycle infrastructure, but we also must recognize the work left to do to make this city truly bike friendly.

Ban LED headlights By Izzy Fonfara Drewel
isabella.fonfaradrewel@marquette.edu
Within the past few years, there has been a boom in the use of LED car headlights. However, LEDs pose a great hazard to drivers as they can obscure the road in more ways than one. LED headlights have emerged as a better alternative to halogen headlights since they use less power and have a longer lifespan, but we need to consider the actual complications that humans face rather than the illumination. Humans are the ones driving the cars, making them responsible for the road safety of both drivers and pedestrians. In my experience, oncoming traffic with LED headlights makes it hard for me to see what’s going on to the point that I have to stare towards the edge of the road instead of focusing on the lane in front of me. And don’t get me started on driving in fog. When LED headlights come toward me through mist and fog, I start praying. Thankfully oncoming traffic is only passing but that doesn’t stop them
from coming up behind you. Now I have pretty bad vision which I correct with contacts and glasses, but my astigmatism really acts up with bright lights. Astigmatism is a curvature of the eye that affects distance vision and, for me, causes lights to blur, streak and overall take up more of the viewing field than is necessary. The brighter the light, the worse my vision. I absolutely hate when LEDs are reflecting in my rearview mirror or start flashing in my sideviews. It makes it both impossible to see what’s happening behind me on the road and the reflections make it hard for me to see out the windshield. Not only is that bothersome, but it is genuinely a safety hazard; if I cannot see where I’m going then how am I supposed to follow the rules of the road? LED headlights, along with high-intensity discharge headlights, emit a light that can be more blue than traditional halogen lights. Blue light is harder for the human eye to withstand because of where it hits the retina. These lights elicit stron-
ger complaints and discomfort, particularly from 18 to 24-year-olds. Halogens can emit, at most, 1,500 lumens while LED headlights have been recorded to be upwards of 4,000 lumens. This drastic difference in lighting pos-

es a danger to drivers of all cars but especially lower set sedans. Because they are closer to the ground, the headlights on pickup trucks and SUVs sit higher and shine directly into their windows, a straight beam into a driver’s eyes. While LEDs have become the next step in headlight technology, there is another option. Adaptive driv-
ing beam headlights have grown in popularity in Europe and while brands like Toyota and BMW have started using them, they are not yet widespread in the United States. They were only recently made legal in February 2022, and dealerships are slowly rolling out newer model cars with the lights. ADB lighting uses sensors and cameras to map the layout of the road and illuminate the surrounding environment without distracting oncoming drivers. A safer option that provides both visibility of the road and won’t interfere with the vision of other operators. As these lighting options slowly roll out, we need to encourage drivers to switch away from LEDs and either move back to traditional halogen lights or ADB lighting instead. This is a matter of public safety, by changing our headlights we can make our roads safer and protect both drivers and pedestrians. Izzy Fonfara Drewel is the executive opinions editor.

Arts & Entertainment MU professor’s book 45 years in the making David Fantle dives into history of a 1950s film By Sofía Cortés
sofia.cortes@marquette.edu
David Fantle, adjunct professor at Marquette University, put together “C’mon, Get Happy: The Making of Summer Stock” a book along with his lifelong friend Tom Johnson that tells the story about the making of the 1950s film, “Summer Stock.” The book features interviews with stars who were involved in the making of the film along with insight about the background of the production. “C’mon, Get Happy: The Making of Summer Stock,” is a book that tells the story of how “Summer Stock” was made, received and remembered. The film was brought to Hollywood by MGM and starred Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, some of the most influential stars of the Hollywood Golden Age. David Fantle, adjunct professor at Marquette University, put together “C’mon, Get Happy: The Making of Summer Stock.” Fantle and Johnson grew up together in St. Paul, Minnesota and both shared a deep interest in film and TV. Later on, both worked
for The Minnesota Daily as Arts and Entertainment reporters in the late 70s. “Johnson and I shared a love affair and interest with these Golden Age Hollywood films. We started writing to stars like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly using snail mail, asking if they would consent to meet us in Los Angeles. We went out as 18-year-olds and had these really transformational meetings with these screen legends,” Fantle said. Fantle said meeting with Astaire was like their “Willy Wonka golden ticket” and soon enough, possibilities opened up for them within the arts and entertainment world. Fantle and Johnson continued to conduct celebrity interviews, even talking to many people who worked on “Summer Stock” because of their fame during the 70s, not yet knowing they would write a book about it decades later. “Our book in a way is 45 years in the making because if you look at the musical, there are several people associated with this production from 73 years ago that Tom and I originally talked to decades ago. That includes Gene Kelly, Charles Walters the film’s director, supporting players and the main songwriter/ composer, Harry Warren,” Fantle said.
Fantle said they began the writing process about five years ago, but it was challenging due to the amount of extensive research that had to be done. They worked with The Academy Library in Los Angeles, Boston University, archives at Southern Methodist University, The University of Wyoming and The Smithsonian. The book was pieced together by Fantle and Johnson’s insight and knowledge of the film and multiple institutions with archives and information pertaining to the film. Also playing a part in how the book was made were the perspectives of stars who either worked on “Summer Stock” or have some connection to the film. Fantle said these unique perspectives make the story about the film’s history not only readable, but relevant. “We didn’t want to just make this like any old history book, so we did something called ‘Taking Stock.’ This means talking to living artists and having them give their download on this film with their perspective today. This includes Lorna Luft who is Garland’s daughter, Kerry Kelly Novick who is Gene’s daughter, Mandy Moore, the choreographer of ‘La La Land’ and many others,” Fantle said. There is known Holly-
wood lore surrounding Garland and the production itself such as Garland’s drug dependency, marriage and more. “Summer Stock” was the final MGM film Garland ever starred in. Fantle said part of their goal was to “bust some of these myths” surrounding the production. Fantle said the idea behind addressing the dark parts regarding the production was to take an empathetic and balanced outlook towards the behind-the-scenes aspects of the film. As it says on the back of the book, “looking at all of the factors that made this a troubled production that became a triumphant musical.” Garland’s hit musical number “Come on Get Hap-
py,” talks about forgetting your troubles and finding joy even in the hardest of times. The film was released during a time of hardship during the 50s. Decades since then, the musical number remains timeless, written to evoke still that same feeling of happiness and joy. “When Johnson and I first got hooked on musicals, we were 15 years old, and it was during the time when we were getting out of the Vietnam War; there was a lot going on in the world. These musicals represented escapism. “Come on Get Happy,” those lyrics, even in the hardest, most difficult times, there’s nothing like taking 109 minutes and watching ‘Summer Stock’ and escaping,” Fantle said.

Brady Street’s Glorioso’s Italian Deli expands
Continues to offer Italian imports to MKE community By Angelina Gallulo

Glorioso’s Italian Deli on Brady Street has been a constant in the city for almost 80 years, serving the Milwaukee community. Now, the deli is expanding its space while staying true to family roots. The new location at 1011 E. Brady St. now boasts a catering division, culinary center, bakery and event space. Upholding family tradition, Michael Glorioso, general manager of the deli, said, is key to keeping the market’s relevance after two generations. “That’s how we have lasted seven decades. It is embedded in our culture that we’ve created, which is very family oriented. We’re very unique,” Michael said. The Italian grocery store is so unique that in 2020, they won the award for the best independent grocery store in America,
highlighting the family’s overall culinary efforts. “Our culture of treating our employees as though they are family and our passion for quality Italian food is second to none,” Michael said. “What hangs above our door, and what my dad would say growing up, is: Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten. I think that that kind of summarizes the products that we carry.” Glorioso’s offers many Italian imports that cannot be found anywhere else in the city, such as squid ink pasta, truffle salts and a broad selection of boutique balsamic vinegar and olive oils. The multi-generation family business has a history that expands beyond the current deli. “My dad, Teddy, our current owner, is 93. Along with his two older brothers, he started the business on Valentine’s Day of 1946. My uncles had just returned from World War II, and my dad just turned 16 and dropped out of school,” Michael Glorioso, Teddy’s
son, said. The family members bought a preexisting storefront on Brady Street, as the area began transitioning from a Polish neighborhood to an Italian one, after many immigrants moved to the Lower East Side following the war. “They started out across the street from our current location and ran a little family grocery store. In 1952, the brothers opened up Trio’s Pizza right next door. In 1960, they bought the gas station that was next door to them, tore it down, and built our original restaurant, Glorioso’s Italian Villa,” Michael said. “The grocery store is the only business still standing.” Teddy ran the restaurant for 28 years until its closing, and it became a very coveted dining location. Everybody from President John F. Kennedy to Hollywood celebrities like Jane Mansfield, and sports figures like Kareem Abdul Jabbar had lavish parties at the restaurant. “It was really a great place
for me to grow up. I was surrounded by a lot of influence,” Michael said. In 1960, the three brothers bought the building next to the existing grocery store and expanded it. They continued to run the grocery store for 64 years in that location, until Michael said he returned home to modernize the company. “In 2008, I retired from a 28-year corporate suit-andtie career where I worked for Anheuser Busch. I came back to Milwaukee to spend time with my family, but in this period, I realized my family had built such a wonderful brand. Seeing how happily people reacted to it amazed me,” Michael said. Michael said he purchased the property in 2009 and opened the new store on Dec. 10, 2010. When they moved to the current location, Glorioso’s had nine family members employed and six outside employees. “Here we are in 2023. In our new store, our business has grown fivefold. We now have 72 employees
and five family members,” Michael said. In the future, Michael said he sees his family brand growing outside of Milwaukee. “We have over 300 private label products, which are products with our names on it with our family recipes. I don’t have any family members behind me. At some point, we’ll look to transition our business over to somebody that would be capable of continuing the business. I hope they’ll build more stores across the region and take our products into wholesale distribution to keep us growing,” Michael said. Each day he returns to work, Michael said he gets to enjoy quality time with his father, the most important thing to him. “Business is better than ever currently. My dad, who is 94, is at work with me today and most days. I’m 70 years old and I run the business. I have so much to be appreciative of,” Michael said.
