Marquette has worked its way deep into my heart, and I know

as interim president after Father Scott Pilarz, S.J., made the decision to resign earlier this fall. There was little question about it: If I could be of service to once again lead this wonderful university, I was very glad to say, “yes.”

FROM INTERIM PRESIDENT ROBERT A. WILD, S.J.

Now that I am back on campus full time, I am reminded

how Marquette’s faculty, students, staff, alumni and friends are advancing the university’s mission each day. I’m happy to help

Dentistry is welcoming more students and providing essential oral health care to Wisconsin residents. The historic core of Sensenbrenner, Johnston and Marquette halls is being renewed and re-imagined as a vibrant center of learning and discovery.

The College of Nursing’s year-old clinical simulation center has transformed nursing education and serves as a magnet for a diverse set of academic and community partners.

Our student-athletes are fortunate to be playing this fall in

a new Big East Conference. After enduring the instability that has buffeted so many athletic conferences, Marquette is now aligned with nine universities that share a similar commitment to academic and personal formation of student-athletes, as well as competitive excellence.

My colleagues and I are working to implement Marquette’s

strategic plan, Beyond Boundaries. One of the strengths of the

plan was the process that involved the entire university community, which led to the plan’s approval by the Board of Trustees. That cooperative spirit has grown through the work of those who are leading efforts to achieve six major goals in areas ranging from “Pursuit of academic excellence for human well-being” to “Social responsibility and community engagement.” The structure of the plan will easily allow Marquette’s next president to integrate his or her own unique ideas.

As always, our future would not be nearly as promising

without the university’s many loyal and generous supporters.

Let me add that I am especially encouraged by the generous spirit of those recognized in a new category, one for those who have graduated in the past 15 years, the Rev. Peter A. Brooks, S.J., Level for Young Alumni.

It has been a real pleasure to see familiar Marquette friends,

colleagues and students in recent days. I look forward to being on stage at the December and May Commencement exercises with students I welcomed to campus four years ago. And I appreciate the opportunity to connect with you in this familiar spot in Marquette Magazine. I look forward to the steps we will take together, moving the university forward with your faith and support. May our good and gracious God bless our students and all those associated with Marquette University.

Hal Bernton thinks that with the proliferation of blogs and social media, journalists need more time to rise above the noise, dig deep and produce reporting that tackles the tough issues of the day.

“At their best, that’s what journalists have done over the decades,” says Bernton, a reporter at The Seattle Times who is on campus for the academic year.

Bernton is one of three award-winning journalists comprising the inaugural class of O’Brien Fellows. The new program allows journalists to spend nine months on campus researching, reporting and writing stories they consider important. Each fellow will mentor Marquette students — including those who aspire to careers in newsrooms — who will assist them by interviewing sources, shooting and editing videos, mining data and contributing to other reporting tasks. The fellows will return next fall to present work published as part of the O’Brien Fellowship.

For his project, Bernton is exploring the struggle to curb carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases; the politics, economics and science of energy; the progress — and roadblocks ahead — for further expansion of solar energy and wind; and the politics of carbon regulation that will help determine coal’s future in the United States.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Dan Egan is examining how and why ships carrying ballast water contaminated with exotic life from foreign ports have made an ecological mess of the Great Lakes, despite the federal government’s efforts to force the shipping industry to protect these fresh waters.

Lillian Thomas, an assistant managing editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, is focusing on nonprofit health care in America, including how many nonprofit hospitals become large operations that behave like for-profits, and health care systems that close hospitals in poorer communities and open facilities in more affluent communities.

Thomas says many of the most meaningful stories she’s been involved with have been public service pieces that offered detailed information about vital matters.

“I believe leaders in journalism and young reporters alike recognize that with so much routine and unexamined information available, strong news organizations need to move toward compelling, accessible stories that shed light on complex issues,” she says.

The J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication and the Journal Sentinel teamed to create the Perry and Alicia O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism. It is funded with a gift from Peter and Patricia Frechette. m HL

In 1965, the parade featured 27 floats, novelty acts and marching groups. A night-ending concert in the gym featured jazz saxophonist Stan Getz and comic Jackie Vernon. Tip-Off launched the basketball season from 1962– 67. In May 1968, the Trib reported that the Tip-Off Council revised celebrations, establishing instead a Kick-off Weekend in October and a Winterfest in February. m JMM

“What sustains me is the pure intellectual challenge and the desire to improve my own and others’ understanding of the causes of this form of political violence.”

CAMPUS Q&A

Dr. Risa Brooks studies a dark side of humanity

with a goal of improving the world.

Brooks is an associate professor of political science in the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences. She’s also a member of a small minority of women who study international terrorism.

I study such a dark side of humanity.

I think what sustains me is the pure intellectual challenge and the desire to improve my own and others’ understanding of the causes of this form of political violence.

MM: Why do you study terrorism?

RB: I study militant groups to understand

why they choose violence to pursue their political goals. Only by understanding the forces and factors that result in a group employing terrorism can we identify solutions and policies to reduce the incidence of terrorist violence. Also, although terrorism is commonly defined as a method of armed conflict used for political aims, one thing clear in my studies is that it is often ordinary people with little at stake in a conflict who are harmed by these acts of violence. This is vividly clear in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. I often reflect on this fact and hope my work can contribute to improving life for these civilians.

I ask myself occasionally about why

MM: How did you get started?

MM: What are some important

I can say is I did not come to the study of international security and terrorism “by design.” I thought I would be a biologist when I started college. Then I took a political science course and was hooked. I ended up becoming a professor as a result of a natural intellectual draw to the issues and through the influence of a mentor who inspired me academically.

seem inured to social influences, some operate in social settings in which they take cues from local communities about when and how to use violence against their adversaries. While this is far from the only consideration that affects decisions by a group’s leaders to use terrorist methods, to the extent groups are responsive to pressures from local communities, it opens the door to understanding one way they might be drawn away from terrorism. m JMM

STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS

Tom Ganey is the new vice president for planning, charged with guiding implementation of

the university’s strategic plan. Ganey adds the role to his position as university architect.

they identified one specific tactic that the university can make progress on during this academic year. Additionally, the goal stewards are working to identify specific first-year objectives and tactics. For example: The provost is initiating a scheduled effort of academic program review, and university leadership is meeting with management staff in the operating units to identify opportunities to improve organizational effectiveness. The vice president for mission and ministry is working with a team to better organize and report on the wide variety of community engagement activities.

The vice provost for research is identifying and implementing initiatives aimed at improving Marquette’s research classification. As vice president for planning, Ganey is working with colleges and administrative divisions to align unit planning with the overall university vision and goals.

“Implementing the strategic plan is the work of everyone on campus,” Ganey says.

“We encourage people to refer to the plan to help establish their priorities for the academic year and to think about how their daily work can help achieve the goals of the strategic plan.

The plan will keep all of us on track for the seven-year journey ahead.” m JMM

Ganey uses the metaphor of a trip to describe how the university should think about achieving the goals defined in the strategic plan. And with travel, he says, there are stops to be taken along the way.

“To make any trip, one must have intermediate objectives. To drive from Milwaukee to St. Louis, you might stop in Springfield, Illinois, for lunch,” Ganey says. “For the strategic plan, the destination is the vision statement, and the routes to achieving the vision can be laid out in the six themes and goals.”

The university worked for more than a year to define a strategic path to carry Marquette forward. More recently, six academic and administrative campus leaders were named goal stewards, responsible for helping make the goals outlined in the strategic plan a part of the everyday life and work on campus.

This fall, the stewards are establishing metrics to measure progress on achieving the goals. To begin,

Jaw-dropping find Dates at the dentist are rarely exciting. But an

unlikely find during a recent dental cleaning made 2nd Lt. Jennifer Szatkowski’s jaw drop.

As Szatkowski, H Sci ’11, settled into the dental chair at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, some office art caught her eye. The Air Force officer spent the appointment staring at a patriotically adorned brown lunch bag hanging on the wall. It was decorated by a child and looked oddly familiar. Szatkowski recognized a few innocent inaccuracies,

Tall order Middle school students look up to Jamil Lott, Arts ’07— literally and figuratively.

The 6-foot-7 former Marquette basketball player uses his height and heart to make a difference for eighthgraders at Washington Technology Magnet, a secondary school in St. Paul, Minn.

Lott is one of the school’s behavioral specialists. He describes his role as a disciplinarian and mentor for many students who struggle with poverty, unstable homes and violence.

“The world puts these kids in a box,” Lott says. “When you have the chance to step out of that box, it’s mind-blowing to them.”

Day after day, Lott strives to open the box for his kids. He spends school hours escorting students to class on time, de-escalating fights, assisting teachers and making sure his students learn to respect others. His day doesn’t necessarily stop when the dismissal bell rings. Whether it’s visiting parents, catching a school theatre show or popping by the local rec center gym, Lott tries to be a constant presence and role model in his students’ lives. He often wears a shirt and tie to school to demonstrate professionalism, and he even rides his bicycle to work to dispel any “un-coolness” about being healthy or using environmentally friendly transportation.

“These kids are young and can hardly see beyond popularity and looks,” Lott says. “I try to shed light onto a world many of them won’t see until they get out and go to college.”

For many of his students, college seems like an unreachable dream. Lott, who earned a full-ride scholarship after growing up in the same Minnesota neighborhood, is living proof that advanced education is definitely possible — but it’s no walk in the park. Lott emphasizes to students that success takes a lot of hard work and discipline, two traits he learned during his time at Marquette.

“There was no cutting corners in terms of being up early, going to events, class and practice,” Lott recalls. “I’ve never worked that hard … until now.” m JB Photo by Scott Takushi. Reprinted with permission St. Paul Pioneer Press.

like blue stars and a slight stripe overlap. The tipping point was seeing the artist’s name, “Jennifer,” in her own unmistakable penmanship.

“I still write like that,” she laughs.

Turns out, Szatkowski decorated that lunch bag more

than a decade ago — long before she was a commissioned officer. It was part of a class project assigned at St. Agnes Catholic School in Butler, Wis., some 800 miles away from Walter Reed, as part of a nationwide project to thank military personnel for their service.

Somehow, the lunch bag landed on that wall. A stunned

Szatkowski quickly snapped and sent pictures home, and her dad confirmed that the bag, still in “pristine condition,” was definitely the work of his daughter.

“It’s one of those things that you read about and hear

about happening to people but never think it’ll happen to you,” Szatkowski says of her blast from the past. “I was talking to my fiancé about it, and he said it was a sign from God telling me I took the right path,” she says. “I’m in the military now, and I made this art project years ago honoring the military.” m JB 2nd Lt. Jennifer Szatkowski recognized the lunch bag she decorated more than a decade ago.

World Youth Day was created by Pope John Paul II in 1984. This year, 3 million attended the final Mass in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Twelve members of the Marquette community attended festivities in Rio.

I stood up In July, more than 3 million young Catholics traveled to Brazil for Magis, an Ignatian experience for pilgrims from Jesuit institutions, and World Youth Day, a worldwide gathering of Catholic youth.

Communication senior Jessie Bazan was one of 12 pilgrims from Marquette who made the trip. BY JESSI E B A Z A N , MA GA Z I N E I N T ERN I wanted to stand up but I couldn’t.

Physically, I had no choice —

my 6-foot frame was crammed into seat 24C. But when the plane took off for Brazil, my mind was bogged down, as well.

Could I handle the 80-mile walk that is the first part of this pilgrimage?

My concerns ran deeper, too. Truth is, I was apprehensive about spending three weeks immersed in Catholic festivities. It’s not easy being a Catholic young adult today. Many write off my generation as religiously apathetic, too engrossed with the latest iPhone app to care about the future of the Catholic

Church. As I watched students at Sunday Masses on campus become more and more disengaged during my three years at Marquette, and heard my thousandth peer boast about being “spiritual, but not religious,” part of me began to wonder: Could the doubters be right? Is the future of my church that bleak?

There was no turning back now. I had to psyche myself up, so I grabbed the one book I brought along, Thirst by poet Mary Oliver. Skimming the first page, one line jumped out that would remain at the front of my thoughts for the entire pilgrimage. In her poem, “Messenger,” Oliver wrote, “Let me keep my mind on

Jessie Bazan (our hatted friend at top left) carries a spirit of joy for the Catholic faith wherever she goes, including into Marquette Magazine.

We attended 11 liturgies, some celebrated by church dignitaries like Superior General of the Society of Jesus Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., in massive auditoriums and others celebrated by a Uruguayan Jesuit in tinroofed huts.

Each congregation radiated such positive energy. It was rejuvenating.

“Alleluias” sang with gusto. “Glory to God” proclaimed in a manner fit for glorifying God. I never before experienced such inviting, active liturgies.

We weren’t just praying with our mouths, either. Clapping and dancing are staples of Brazilian Masses. Hands, feet and hips team up for a full-body prayer experience.

As my congregation of peers dipped and swayed to zesty South American hymns, I smiled unabashedly, filled with hope. Young

Astonished. It was a long time since I had allowed myself to luxuriate in that rejuvenating mixture of surprise, awe and presence. Feeling burdened by political issues facing the Catholic Church today, I fell into a rut. What a grace it was, then, to find myself swimming in a sea of astonishment just 19 days after I arrived in Brazil. I’m happy to report the Catholic Church astonished me in many ways during this pilgrimage.

Who knew Mass could be such fun?

of Capim Grosso, whose people embraced and served complete strangers with generous, unconditional love.

He was manifest in the Jesuits I met along the way, whose pastoral care and wise insights made for many thought-provoking conversations. He was manifest in my fellow pilgrims, whose blisters and bunions left tangible evidence of their commitment to share the Good News with all corners of the world. And I believe Christ was manifest in me. I used to worry about being judged and sounding pompous for saying that God works through me, but this experience gave me the confidence to accept my discipleship.

God works through all of us in different ways. I’m no longer ashamed to take ownership of that. In fact, I have a responsibility to my calling because God has big plans for me, just as He does for each of His children.

As Oliver wrote: “… my work … is mostly standing still and learning

“Who knew that Mass could be such fun?”

Catholics can be engaged in liturgy.

That witness was astonishing.

Seeing the universality of the church in a very literal way astonished me, too.

The dictionary tells me Catholic means “universal,” but before this experience, that was just a concept, a nice thought.

Then we got to Copacabana Beach, and I was surrounded by 3 million brothers and sisters waving flags from all nations and speaking in all different languages.

So often in this world, differences are divisive. But in this case, the diversity made our Catholic family more beautiful. We were together in glorious chaos, praising the same God. The experience was astonishing.

The beginning of my senior year, I learned that my dad had terminal cancer and might not live to see me graduate. Father Naus encouraged me, prayed for me — his Saturday night Masses became a staple in my life. Had he not taken the time to listen to me, cry with me, share with me, I wouldn’t have finished the year. My dad couldn’t come to graduation. He died three weeks after I graduated, but due in large part to Father Naus, I got to spend those last three weeks with my dad as a Marquette alum, which meant a lot to both of us.

I was a sophomore and went to Schroeder Hall chapel one weeknight for Mass with Father Naus, but I was the only one who showed up. I told him I was worried I wouldn’t know what to do as the sole congregant. “Life is too short to worry,” he said. My personal Mass with Father Naus is a beautiful Marquette memory.

Father Naus had a way of making everyone he met feel better about themselves, better about others, better about life. He had a way of putting everything in perspective.

He told me, “My Grandma Naus used to say ‘Do your best and leave the rest.’” I will miss Father Naus, Marquette will miss Father Naus, humanity will miss Father Naus.

Arriving at Schroeder Hall for midnight Mass, I found Father Naus in a vestment bedecked with clown faces. He handed me balloons and had me start blowing them up. I asked: “What’s with the balloons and the clown faces on the vestments?” He replied: “The theme of Mass tonight is Christ the clown. While Christ is God’s son, by taking human form he also embraced all things human, including a sense of humor.” Wow, talk about profound.

Brian Harper wondered if he would build the same lifelong connections that his parents took from Marquette.

FRIENDS

AND AMIGOS A F E W Y E A R S A G O , I learned that Marquette polls incoming students to find out why they choose Marquette. Many cite the university’s commitment to community service as a major incentive, as well as its top-tier basketball program.

I like to think a few Chris Farley fans enrolled after seeing Tommy Boy. The question led me to reflect on my motivation for choosing Marquette.

Scholarship opportunities were a factor, as was my interest in the school’s journalism program. More than anything, though, I came for the community.

My parents spent part of their undergraduate years at Marquette, and my dad graduated from the School of Dentistry. Some of my earliest memories and closest relationships were born out of the friendships my parents made then.

For as long as I can remember, going to Marquette basketball games with my dad meant meeting his old college friends at halftime. Annual Christmas gifts were Ardmore Bar T-shirts. During summer gatherings at the cabin belonging to the man who introduced my parents, we children watched while the adults briefly revisited their 22-year-old selves.

The takeaway was clear — Marquette not only provided an invaluable education and four years of fun, but also a formative experience and lifelong community.

I wanted that.

I got my wish in spades.

I met friends in the residence halls, classes, study abroad programs in South Africa and Italy, jobs with The Marquette Tribune and the Office of Student Development, and extracurricular service experiences. During my senior year, I lived in a house with seven guys I met while living in McCormick and Schroeder halls. We made our mark by inviting then-president Rev. Robert Wild, S.J., to a dinner party.

Inexplicably, but much to his credit, he joined us for supper, video games and conversation about all things Marquette.

My attraction to volunteerism can no doubt be traced to my Jesuit education, not to mention Marquette’s service opportunities that consistently emphasize the importance of being a woman or man for others.

Equal to these factors was my interest in building community. JVC has four pillars — justice, faith, simplicity and community — that unite to form the foundational theme of a volunteer’s experience. The idea is to seek justice for the people we serve; be witnesses to our faith; lead simple lives; and participate in community with fellow volunteers and friends, colleagues, students and neighbors from our host countries. I saw JVC as an opportunity to be a member of another vibrant and authentic community — much like Marquette.

In November 2011, I moved to Andahuaylillas (pronounced On-duh-why-lee-us), a small town of approximately 5,000 people located roughly 30 miles from Cusco. In Peru, I came to feel a deep and genuine sense of fellowship with the students in my English, computer, religion and verbal reasoning classes, as well as with the other teachers and

be able to function normally in North American society again.

My concerns were eased when the United States came to visit me in Peru last January in the form of five of my Marquette friends.

Many people said they would visit when they heard my plans to move out of the country, but I did not expect anyone to actually make the trip. I had a fantastic week with Matt Hixson, Jeff Jasurda, Tom Molosky, Mike Muratore and Gabe Sanchez. We went to Machu Picchu, checked out Cusco, visited churches built hundreds of years ago and delved into local cuisine. It was wonderful to see those familiar faces and hear what they had been up to since graduation.

Some of my favorite moments of the week we spent together, though, involved seeing my two communities meld. I loved watching when my Marquette friends bought souvenirs from my Peruvian friends. An impromptu soccer game that sprang up between my visitors, some of my students and me was another highlight of the week.

Pretty soon, the week was over and, like at graduation, it was hard to say goodbye to my American friends. I had grown accustomed to them being with me in Peru. I knew it would

Brian Harper with Gabriel and Antoni.

As difficult as it was to graduate, I left campus content. Though I felt some concern that time, distance and the inevitable life shifts might not always bring change for the better, I was confident that the lessons and friends I made at Marquette would always be with me.

Interestingly, I threw the biggest wrench into the possibility of me and my friends staying close after Commencement. Though one friend took a job in San Francisco and another found a position in Florida, I decided to move to a little village in the Peruvian Andes to teach at a secondary school with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps.

staff at the local school and parish. I grew to be invested in the lives of my Peruvian neighbors, and I lived with volunteers from the United States, Spain, Great Britain and France. I feel incredibly blessed to have learned from and shared in community with all of these people.

Coming from an accomplishment-based, North American mentality, it was refreshing to enter a culture where people are valued not for what they do but for who they are. I often found that as necessary as were the activities I completed while working in the school or parish, it was the time I spent chatting with women who sold their crafts in the plaza or hanging out with children and playing kiwi, a kick-the-can-like game, that was the most important part of my service.

It is a foregone conclusion that almost everyone who goes to another country for service work will eventually return home. Many questions plagued me well before departing my host country, not least of which was how to carry what I experienced in a way that honors both those I was serving and the loved ones to whom I was returning. Fear of culture shock left me worrying that I might not ever

be a long time before I would see them again.

But any doubt I harbored about maintaining college friendships after college is resolved.

The same sort of lasting community of friends that my parents formed as students in the 1970s, which I hoped to duplicate, is mine.

College is such a brief snapshot of life — four, maybe five years. People come to Marquette seeking fulfillment in countless ways, and they leave to pursue many different endeavors. What I learned from the alumni I met through my parents and now from my own circle of friends is that what keeps us coming back and coming together long after we graduate is a shared sense of community. ❍ Brian Harper returned home to Fond du Lac, Wis.

“When you live in Ghana, you grow up really quickly because you have to think a lot when you‘re little,” says James C. Nortey, who sold tomatoes and sports drinks on the roadside before making his way to the United States at age 15.

A

Coach Louis Bennett calls James C. Nortey one of the “hardest people to play against.”

At 5-foot-7, men’s soccer standout James C. Nortey is several inches shy of the ideal size for his position.

As a center forward, Nortey is expected to be his

team’s main scoring threat, searching for a sliver of space as bigger defenders try to muscle him out of the way.

“The people that you’re playing against are all, like, huge,” Nortey says.

“You have to work your way around them to create chances for yourself, to create chances for your team.”

But there’s something more you should know about Nortey. He has spent most of his life creating his own chances. He grew up in Accra, Ghana, and as a young boy sold tomatoes and sports drinks on the roadside to help his family make ends meet. He earned a ticket to the United States by refusing to take no for an answer as an 11-year-old, formed new bonds as he adjusted to life in an unfamiliar country, then made the transition from an East Coast boarding school to college in Milwaukee.

Nortey volunteers at an orphanage in Accra.

Growing up fast Nortey, a redshirt sophomore, showed his determination at age 11 when he was selected to try out at the Right to Dream Academy, an organization in Ghana that provides education and training for promising young soccer players. Nortey didn’t make the final selection of players chosen to stay with the academy, but a few of his friends did. He decided to tag along with them.

“It sounds like I’m very determined, but every person in Ghana that was my age at the time would have done the same thing,” he says.

And then something really unexpected happened. The academy needed another goalkeeper, the position Nortey played at the time. He talked them into letting him fill the gap.

“I helped in the kitchen, I helped serve the food, I helped with everything I could,” Nortey says. “And eventually, they realized I could be useful — and then I started playing really well.”

Top players at the academy are put on track toward professional careers in soccer. Those who play well and also show academic potential, such as Nortey, have an opportunity to go to school in the United States or United Kingdom. Nortey recalls the moment he was called into a meeting with academy founder Tom Vernon — usually a sign that a student is in trouble.

“I was shaking,” Nortey remembers. “Everybody was concerned for me.

And, then, he said, ‘You’re going to America in six months.’”

American dreams At age 15, Nortey flew for the first time — “like paradise,” he says of the experience, although surprisingly bumpy — destined for the Hotchkiss School, a boarding school in Connecticut. He thought the school looked like the castle from the Harry Potter movies and figured the rest of the United States probably looked similar.

In Connecticut, Nortey’s challenges continued. He struggled at first with learning English. But a language barrier didn’t stop he and fellow student Jack Dickinson from growing close. Jack took Nortey home to visit his family in the Chicago area during Thanksgiving break — and, eventually, most every other school break after that.

Nortey’s family stretches from Ghana to Illinois, where Dan and Gina Dickinson welcomed him into the fold, to Marquette.

BONDS THAT ENDURE

“For some reason, he thought everything I said was funny,” Nortey says of Jack. “And I thought everything he said was funny. We became really close.”

It didn’t take long for Nortey to bond with the entire family, including Jack’s parents, Dan and Gina; sisters Grace and Jane and younger brother Paul.

Dan and Gina Dickinson take pride in Nortey’s success on the field. Since they live in the Chicago suburbs, they’re able to attend most Marquette home games. But what happens in the classroom, Dan says, is more important.

“I give C credit,” Dan says. “He realizes that his primary goal and focus here is a college degree. He may be able to play soccer beyond college. Who knows? But, regardless, he’s going to go on for the rest of his life with a great college degree and that will really serve him well.”

In time, Nortey came to think of the Dickinsons as a second family. They hung a stocking with his name on it at Christmas.

“That was the moment that said to me, ‘You’re part of our family now,’” Nortey says.

Substitute the Midwest for Mississippi and swap one kind of football for another and, Nortey says, this story sounds familiar even to him.

“What is the movie called … The Blind Side?” he says. “I watched the movie and said, ‘This is like me.’”

When it came time to choose a college, Nortey felt comfortable at Marquette with Head Men’s Coach Louis Bennett, whose British accent reminded him of the coaches at the academy in Ghana.

Bennett is a fan on and off the field and says Nortey’s life experience is even more valuable to the program than his talent.

“Marquette is all about giving the best of experiences to everyone and looking for that leadership and that community and that whole faith — just believing in things bigger than yourself,” Bennett says. “And he exemplifies that without even knowing. It’s just his life.”

Fighting back to play This year brought a new challenge. Following his stellar freshman year, Nortey sat out the 2012–13 season after having surgery on both knees. Although his knees began bothering him when he was 15, a diagnosis then determined the pain was a result of bone bruising. When he got to Marquette, and the symptoms didn’t diminish, the Golden Eagles’ team doctor realized Nortey needed operations on both knees. After that came grueling rehabilitation sessions that lasted up to four hours per day and went on for weeks.

•••••

Marquette teammate Paul Dillon, a senior defender whose locker is next to Nortey’s, says Nortey is naturally quiet and only occasionally opens up about his life experiences.

“He has a lot of pride in where he comes from, but he doesn’t boast about it,” Dillon says. “He doesn’t want sympathy. He just wants to live his life like a regular kid.”

Dillon sat with Nortey for about an hour after Nortey’s first knee surgery. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, Dillon says Nortey was in an upbeat, joking mood.

“It’s almost like those are the times when you see what a person really is like,” Dillon says. “Having knee surgery, it was the first of two, yet he was still so positive about the entire experience and he had the ability to smile regardless of the fact that he knew the journey was going to be so long.”

Nortey traces his knee troubles to the wear and tear of playing on rock-hard surfaces growing up.

“Playing in Ghana is like playing on cement,” he says. “Everything is really hard, and I played a lot with my bare feet. You wear out your knees when you play like that for a long time.

“The rehab process was really, really hard,” he admits. “But because everybody was determined to make me come back, I was that determined.”

Now he’s back, and perhaps better, playing a critical role for a team that could make some noise in the NCAA tournament. Nortey scored a team-leading five goals in the Golden Eagles’ first 10 games — including a dramatic 95th-minute match-winner at Villanova on October 5.

“He’s one of the best players in the country,” Bennett says. “And this is the thing: He’s one of the hardest people to play against. I mean, he’s a 5-foot-7 fireball, you know?”

Bennett isn’t surprised that Nortey has emerged from his surgeries and rehabilitation as perhaps an even better player than before. Bennett says Nortey’s background, coming from a place “where opportunities have to be taken with both hands,” gives him a different perspective on life.

“Finding positive things out of what could be an extremely negative thing is a strength, a character trait, that we all wish we had,” Bennett says. “He didn’t know this was going to happen, but it did. So rather than going, ‘Poor me, it happened to me and I’ve had a hard life,’ it’s like, ‘OK, where do I sign up for recovery?’ And in doing that, what a great example to everyone.” ❍

hough one may find chinks in John F. Kennedy’s armor, no one doubts that the American people remember his words and deeds — most often with persistent and sustained admiration.

STEVEN GOLDZWIG tion’s hopes and fears, needs and desires, and then speak about them in an elegant, inspirational oratorical performance that fired the public’s imagination and influenced the course of history, politics and culture.

Kennedy was not only the nation’s first Catholic president. He was my first president. I was 13 years old when he was assassinated. His brief tenure as president affected me deeply and led me in later life to serious scholarly inquiry in which I strive to understand the public words and deeds of presidents and what they mean to our nation.

Three of the most significant speeches Kennedy delivered during his presidency were his inauguration address and two speeches delivered on consecutive days in June 1963. In these speeches, he attempted to change the course of history through persuasive appeals to both national and international audiences. And though no one speech or set of speeches can be linked to direct causal relations, the luxury of hindsight and careful critical analysis allow us to realize anew that words can affect us deeply, and they can predispose us to act. Individuals and nations can prosper when they are the

LEGACY OF WORDS

ERING JFK beneficiaries of sustained and powerful rhetorical leadership. As Dr. Stephen Lucas, a colleague in rhetorical studies who teaches at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, observes: “Despite our computer age, there is still no substitute for public speech to lead, galvanize, console and inspire.”

The power of Kennedy’s rhetorical legacy lies in his defense of universal values such as freedom, human rights and equality. These values have lived in the hearts and minds of generations of Americans. It is a president’s task to rekindle these ideas and adapt them to present opportunities and challenges. This president’s rhetorical appeals still stand as living testaments of the power of words to move a nation and foster change in a complex global society.

Addresses that stir hearts

O

n Jan. 20, 1961, Kennedy famously proclaimed at his inauguration: “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans — born in this century, tempered

by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage — and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.”

Though at times the young president could sound a bit bellicose, he left little doubt about how he envisaged America’s role in the global arena. He would defend freedom: “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

His appeals to domestic and international audiences were clarion calls to accountability. This kind of appeal is important in presidential leadership not only because it is inspirational but also because it sets a framework for accountability — for citizen and president alike.

On June 10, 1963, Kennedy delivered a commencement address at American University that was recorded in the annals of U.S.

history as a landmark in public diplomacy.

He called for peace as a common goal for all of humanity. As a concrete step toward that peace, Kennedy announced he would begin talks with Great Britain and the Soviet Union on a limited nuclear test ban treaty, which when concluded would strike a blow against the spiraling nuclear arms race.

He asked Americans to examine themselves as well as their adversaries, and he called on all to “make the world safe for diversity”: “So, let us not be blind to our differences — but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. … For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air.

We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.”

The president’s appeal to our common humanity as an argument against the prospect of nuclear annihilation did not go unheard. On July 26, 1963, he signed the limited test ban treaty with the Soviets. It was his proudest accomplishment.

F For the first two years of his administration, Kennedy seemed tone deaf to civil rights. But in the summer of 1963, he delivered the most comprehensive and substantive address on civil rights ever made by any president in his response to the attempt by thenAlabama Gov. George Wallace to block the entrance of two black students to the University of Alabama.

In his June 11 address, Kennedy attacked a wider, more basic, national problem: “I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.”

Kennedy boldly framed this issue in a way that took on additional gravitas: “We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution.

The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.”

Kennedy announced he would send Congress a civil rights bill to redress the present wrongs. It was a bravura performance, which was delivered, in part, extemporaneously. And though the president didn’t live to see his bill enacted into law, he staked out key provisions on civil rights that President Lyndon Johnson saw through to completion.

Setting a moral compass

facing the United States — the international threat of thermonuclear war and the struggle for black equality.

But all of his most memorable speeches asked the nation to reflect upon itself and its neighbors and to come to some difficult, but necessary, decisions about what should be done and why. During the Kennedy era, it was not enough to propose policies merely for personal and social progress but, as the president put it, because it was “the right thing to do.”

At least part of Kennedy’s rhetorical legacy surely must be that he not only inspired and challenged but also identified avenues to engage in concrete action.

The nation responded enthusiastically, inspired by big ideas that seemed unimaginable, such as manned spaceflight and the Peace Corps. And though hubris, disappointment and failure can attend any of our all-too-human endeavors, there is no denying that the Kennedy era was a time of high expectations, seemingly unlimited promise and moral challenge. ❍ ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A WATERSHED MOMENT

BY DR. JOHN MCADAMS

T

he assassination of John F. Kennedy 50 years ago had psychological and policy consequences for the American republic. The former are clear and easy to delineate.

The latter are more murky and speculative, but perhaps important.

In the first place, the assassination was shocking. In 1963, Americans thought shooting the president was something that “just didn’t happen.” The assassinations of Presidents McKinley, Garfield and Lincoln seemed like ancient history, and the attempts on Presidents Roosevelt and Truman never really penetrated public consciousness.

It seemed normal in 1963 for the president to ride in a motorcade in an open-topped limousine, amid tall buildings with open windows. Soon enough after 1963, as Americans looked back on the assassination, it seemed like a watershed. While the 1950s were the “happy days” in which citizens married, created families, got an education and started careers, in the 1960s, Kennedy brought a sense of idealism to American politics.

A great orator, he called on Americans to make the nation and the world better.

But after the shooting in Dallas, things started to go awry. The Cold War, which had been waged successfully in actions such as the Berlin Blockade and the Cuban Missile crisis, took an ugly turn in Vietnam. The cause of black citizens, which had been represented by leaders, particularly Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who appealed to the best instincts of the nation, was displaced in public perception by black militants who preached

violence and hatred. Riots burned down entire sections of cities. A truculent and aggressive counter-culture emerged that attacked existing norms about sex, drugs and decorum.

Little if any of this was caused by the assassination, but the psychological turning point was real. The nation seemed to have lost its innocence. Public trust in government plummeted. Assassination conspiracy theories probably had some role in this, but so did revelations about real government misconduct — which were themselves a goad to conspiracy thinking.

And real, vociferous disagreements about policy were the strongest cause of that declining trust. No matter what government did, an increasing number of people were alienated.

Kennedy, Johnson and policy

A

ny claims about how the assassination affected public policy in the nation are speculative. We don’t have a post-Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy presidency to compare to the real postNov. 22, 1963, Lyndon Johnson presidency.

But some plausible inferences can be drawn. Some liberal policies, particularly the 1964 Civil Rights Act, received a boost because they could be considered part of the legacy of the martyred former president.

In the 1960s, Kennedy brought a sense of idealism to American politics.

The war in Vietnam

However, Johnson was more passionately committed to civil rights, and to the downtrodden in general. Kennedy was a bit slow to get behind the civil rights movement — his initial agenda was a more conventional one of extending the New Deal. When he did embrace the movement, however, he did so with his characteristic rhetorical skill.

Johnson’s cultural ambiance did not appeal to Northern elites. Kennedy’s young Ivy League staffers called him “Uncle Cornpone.” Kennedy invited Pablo Casals to the White House and First Lady Jackie redecorated the place with exquisite taste.

Johnson showed reporters his gall bladder scar. But Johnson’s Great Society programs are hard to imagine under Kennedy. Johnson was both more committed to helping those at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder and more capable of working his will with recalcitrant members of Congress.

P

eople in thrall of Camelot (the mythical realm of King Arthur that came to be associated with Kennedy) have insisted that Kennedy would never have gotten the nation into the Vietnam War. Indeed, several witnesses claimed he expressed to them an intention to withdraw completely from that southeastern Asia country. Unfortunately, those claims all come from staffers and friends and all surfaced years after the assassination when the war had become highly unpopular. Kennedy’s public statements up to the day he died insisted that South Vietnam should not be allowed to fall under communist domination. He increased the number of U.S. advisers there from fewer than 700 to more than 16,000, many in combat roles. When asked in April 1964 if John Kennedy had planned to withdraw, his brother Robert answered “the president felt that the. ... He had a strong, overwhelming reason for being in Vietnam and that we should win the war in Vietnam.”

Marquette Magazine

27

Of course, in November 1963 the Kennedy administration held out hope that South Vietnam, with the help of U.S. advisers and aid, could hold off the invasion from the North. No one can know what Kennedy would have done in 1965 if he had faced the Hobson’s choice that Johnson did: Escalate dramatically or allow the Communists to take over in the South. It’s possible that Kennedy would have avoided the Vietnam morass — not because he was more liberal than Johnson but because he was less liberal.

Historians Francis M. Bator and Stanley Karnow have argued that fighting the war in

Vietnam was a necessary protective cover for Johnson’s ambitious domestic agenda.

Divisive recriminations over who lost Vietnam might have sapped Johnson’s political capital.

Thus, policies liberals loved the “Great Society” went along with a war that they loathed and of which the public eventually tired.

Kennedy’s influence

K

ennedy was a cold warrior who was clear about the evil that was Communism, who acted decisively in the Cuban missile crisis and touted his military buildup but also allowed the Bay of

Pigs invasion to proceed. But he was also prudent and looked for ways to defuse tension between the two superpowers. His ban on nuclear testing in that atmosphere, negotiated with the Soviet Union, was the first step in a process that, under Presidents Nixon, Carter and Reagan, led to a massive ratcheting down of the nuclear threat.

Kennedy established a “hot line” that allowed him and all future presidents to communicate directly with Soviet leaders in the Kremlin in a time of crisis.

Even Kennedy’s “idealistic” initiatives can best be seen as shrewd, enlightened

17 WORDS CHANGE A NATION

BY JONI MOTHS MUELLER

28

Fall 2013

“Ask not what your

country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

C

ould 17 words have had a greater impact?

President John Kennedy’s question, raised in his inauguration address, targeted the hearts of many, including newly minted college graduates, including Marquette’s Michael Shea, Eng ’61, who at that moment was contemplating his future.

Holding the degree of a mechanical engineer was no small thing, and Shea was already planning advanced study and another degree, maybe two. But, like an

arrow, this exhortation from the new president went straight to the hearts of many of America’s young people who believed they could do something different, maybe something larger for their country. The call felt so profound that Shea wrote a letter to thenSenator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, who was leading efforts in the Senate to get the Peace Corps off the ground.

“I was thinking that the Peace Corps idea seemed like a possibility,” Shea remembers.

“Keeping in mind that I was just 21 years old and essentially had never been out of the Midwest, it had to be a long shot to be accepted.”

Shea was accepted, trained and deployed for two years as a science and math teacher in the village of Kibi, Ghana. He couldn’t know then that he would stand first in a long line of alumni — 680 total since 1961 — who’ve dedicated two years to Peace Corps service.

Today 14 alumni work on Peace Corps projects in 14 countries. Among them is Jamie Burns, H Sci ’12, a biology teacher in Tanzania. “I rise before the sun to crowing roosters and other villagers moving about, preparing to start their day,” says Burns.

It’s possible that Kennedy would have avoided the Vietnam morass — not because he was more liberal than Johnson but because he was less liberal.

attempts to increase America’s world prestige.

His Peace Corps did that as well as mobilize the idealism of a young generation. His Alliance for Progress was a public relations boon in Latin American and made Kennedy extremely popular in the region — notwithstanding the results were far short of the public relations hype.

Kennedy is nowhere close to being among this nation’s great presidents, but he was the most glamorous, the most inspiring and the most charismatic. He certainly carried the aura of greatness. It’s supremely tempting to believe that had he

not been assassinated in Dallas, things would have gone much better in America. Unfortunately, a cold, hard-nosed analysis shows that notion to be questionable. ❍ ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dr. John McAdams is an associate professor of political science in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences.

He teaches American politics, public opinion and voter behavior.

BONDS THAT ENDURE

“I take a bucket bath (no showers or running water here), and eat a small breakfast before heading to school. I am still at the very beginning of my service but I would like to start a health club at my school targeting issues of HIV, AIDS, malaria and other health concerns to educate and prevent my students, their families and other villagers from getting or spreading these diseases.”

When she was a child, Vivian Hoke, Arts ’12, knew one thing for sure — she wanted to join the Peace Corps. She lives that dream in Senegal as an urban agriculture extension agent working on a school garden project funded with a grant from Feed the Future, the U.S. government’s global hunger and food security initiative. She is also the regional coordinator for a gender and diversity program that promotes opportunities for girls, plus she hosts a radio show — she speaks Wolof — that reaches 5,000 listeners. But her favorite project is the garden she works with local women and students

from the high school. “I love to walk home with the women who work in the garden as the sun sets,” she says. “On the way, we joke about my American boyfriend and sometimes help their husbands in herding the cows back home. The Peace Corps poses the challenge of maintaining your American-ness, your faith, your sense of humor, your composure and even sometimes your personality. Sometimes that challenge seems like too much to attempt on days when you feel lonely, miss the comforts of home, or when you are just exhausted from the hot, Senegalese sun.”

Hilary Braseth, Arts ’11 works as a community development volunteer in Guinea. Her focus centers around establishing a waste management system and ecotourism center plus organizing social entrepreneurship opportunities to connect Guinea with the rest of the world.

Right now, Braseth and seven other Peace Corps volunteers are planning a conference to teach the ins and outs of social entrepreneurship to the young.

“It will challenge youth, who make up more than 50 percent of the country’s population and who have a 70 percent unemployment rate, to become actors in their economy while combating social issues,” Braseth says.

Knowing Marquette’s extensive track record in successful social

entrepreneurship, Braseth reached back to experts and former teachers here for advice on connecting Marquette with young people there.

These are the kinds of experiences that await Samantha Vandre, Arts ’13, who began a two-year commitment in Cambodia in July. “I can tell you now, months into this journey, that I find a new reason that I joined the Peace Corps every day,” Vandre says. “I joined to learn a new language, I joined to learn about and experience a completely different culture, I joined to earn the respect of a new community, and I joined to see a child’s face light up each and every day just because I say hello. So many priceless moments come from this experience, and every second that goes by I feel completely satisfied with my decision to join the Peace Corps.” ❍ Vivian Hoke works to promote gender and diversity initiatives as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal.

And that wasn’t even Minnaert’s

biggest on-air moment for the Fox Sports Wisconsin network this season.

That distinction came courtesy of a wayward baseball that knocked the microphone out of her hand on live TV during the May 25 game against Pittsburgh.

class notes

She shook it off and went right

back to work, finishing her segment of the broadcast. The video of that moment and her recovery went viral.

ESPN’s Sportscenter showed the clip as part of its “Not Top 10 Plays” bloopers segment. It has been viewed more than 220,000 times on Fox Sports YouTube channel and countless more times on Major League Baseball’s website and elsewhere.

Minnaert calls her overnight fame

“very bizarre” and noted that she was fortunate not to get hurt.

Foul ball

“The video’s ridiculous. You just have

to laugh,” she says, “because I was fine.

It’s funny, but to me there was no other option other than to pick up and keep going. That’s what you do.”

— Chris Jenkins

As a sideline reporter, Sophia Minnaert, Comm ’09,

has to think on her feet — and stay on her toes.

Minnaert caught the attention of Milwaukee Brewers fans earlier this year when she effortlessly transitioned from English to Spanish during an interview of infielder Yuniesky Betancourt, a native of Cuba who speaks limited English.

The moment came naturally to Minnaert; she grew up in Madison but her

mother is from Costa Rica.

“My grandparents don’t speak any English,” she says. “So we had to. It was

a rule. Growing up, that was all we spoke at home.”

Mark Rampolla, Bus Ad ’91,

made a career out of coconuts.

While serving in the Peace Corps in Costa Rica, he spotted coconut water everywhere. Locals peddled it, sipped it as a hangover cure and prescribed it as a “drinkable IV” at rural hospitals. Soon, Rampolla was hacking open coconuts with a machete to rehydrate after his workouts.

“It was known as a clean, healthy source of replenishment,” he says.

“The whole Western world knows about Gatorade and the importance of electrolytes. But how many people outside of the tropical world know that coconut water can function as a natural sports drink?”

After working for International Paper in Memphis and then El Salvador, where he ran the beverage packaging division for Latin America, Rampolla founded ZICO Pure Premium Coconut Water in 2004.

The company has grown more than 100 percent every year and counts supermodels and professional athletes among its fans. In 2009, it expanded even more with an investment from the Coca-Cola Co. It was named the official coconut water of the 2012 Olympics in London.

The coconut industry used to harvest only the fruit’s oil and meat, discarding the water. Now the growing popularity of coconut water — sold

by ZICO and its competitors — has led to at least $200 million invested in developing countries, Rampolla says.

That’s a point of pride for Rampolla. “One of my struggles has been balancing my interest in business and my belief in the good that business can do with social responsibility,” he says. “In a way, I feel like we’re trying to cross that gap with ZICO.” — Nicole Sweeney Etter

I

Jim Stemper, Eng ’09, didn’t choose the

typical path of an engineering grad.

Instead, he followed a road he hopes will lead to the Tour de France. Stemper started racing after he bought a road bike with his high school graduation money. Today, he’s a professional cyclist for the U.S.-based 5-Hour EnergyKenda racing team.

How did he become an elite cyclist in a place with long winters and no

mountains?

“I may hold the record, to this day, of number of times ridden to Concordia

and back on Lake Shore Drive in Milwaukee,” Stemper says. “I may also hold the record for hours on a trainer in a Marquette dorm room.”

Unsure about spending the rest of his life as an engineer, Stemper

accepted a teaching job after graduation — then turned it down when he was offered his first professional racing contract. Since then, he has competed in the Tour of California twice and even raced in Spain. But those glamorous locations don’t exactly come with a glamorous lifestyle.

Stemper hasn’t earned much from cycling. He makes ends meet by tending bar, waiting tables and even … bottling horse polish?

“If I don’t make extra money each month, I have visions of big dudes

in suits named Fannie and Freddy showing up at my door,” he jokes.

Stemper embraces a minimalist lifestyle and owns no more than he

can fit in his Toyota Matrix.

“Glamorous? No,” Stemper says. “Great stories? Absolutely. Challenges?

Every day. Happiness? Definitely.” — Chris Jenkins

STOR I ES

Here’s the scoop Wedding cake is lovely, but Kopp’s custard would be altogether cooler, particularly if the flavors were a blend of the betrotheds’ best picks.

But would Kopp’s consent to mix what is already

perfection? As Erik, Arts ’00, and Julie Heinrichs, Arts ’99, planned for their wedding in 2004, they had to pop the question.

Kopp’s said, “We will,” and scooped the perfect

nuptial flavor: Aloha Turtle, a blend of Turtle Sundae, which is Julie’s favorite, and Erik’s pick, Macadamia Nut. “The leftover first anniversary pint,” Julie says, “was much better than old, freezer-burned wedding cake.”

The university mourns the death of Dr. Georgia Pappanastos, Arts ’83, who taught at Marquette for 25 years. She served as assistant chair and later as chair of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures.

She retired in 1994 as professor emerita. Pappanastos lived in Montgomery, Ala., where she was an active member of the Greek Ladies Philoptochos Society (Friends of the Poor).

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel headline read “Thomas Robert Bausch wanted Marquette students to make business life reflect values,” and those words characterize the impact of the former dean of the College of Business Administration. Bausch earned his doctorate at Indiana University and held positions on the faculties at John Carroll and Bradley universities before joining Marquette as dean in 1978. He served in that capacity until 1993 and then continued teaching until 2010. He is survived by his wife, Bernadine; eight children; 17 grandchildren; other family and friends.

Trustee Emerita Mercedes Hurley Hughes, Arts ’48, Grad ’50, died in June. She was elected to the Marquette University Board of Trustees in 1987 and served until 1998, when she received emerita status. Hughes supported various academic efforts on campus, including establishing the endowment for the Rev. George V. Coyne, S.J., Annual Lecture in Astronomy and Astrophysics housed in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences. She also was a donor to the Tolkien Archives Fund established by the late Richard G. Blackwelder.

Hughes is survived by two daughters and six grandchildren.

Freshman roommates Rob McNamara, Bus Ad ’83, Law ’86, and Ernie Watts, Bus Ad ’83, parlayed a friendship formed in McCormick in 1979 into a family act. “Rob and I roomed together in 425 both freshman and sophomore years. He was the best man in my wedding (to Barbara Dybicz Watts, Bus Ad ’83), and I was the best man in his wedding (to Kate Horning McNamara, Arts ’84),” says Ernie.

Their daughters, sophomores Clare

McNamara and Molly Watts, are keeping the tradition alive. “They have known each other since infancy and got re-acquainted prior to arriving on campus freshman year. They quickly bonded and decided to room together in Schroeder this year,” says Ernie. “That makes it Watts and McNamara together again on campus 34 years later.”

The Catholic element was and is essential for my spiritual well-being.

Re: the picture of the campus ministry staff on p. 19, however, the young man standing next to Maureen Lynch isn’t Vernon Gregson. Bob Doran can probably supply the right name.

This is the heart of my memories of dear Marquette.

Though a graduate student in philosophy from ’67 to ’72, the liturgies on campus and at the Carmelite chapel nearby moved me to a deeper commitment to our faith.

What a great university.

Great article. It is worthwhile to always keep in front of our minds the grace shed upon us by the Fathers of the Catholic Church who orchestrated the changes instituted by Vatican II in our church, and articles like the one above remind us what is possible in our church. Peace.

Highlight the positive The summer 2013 Marquette Magazine is outstanding both in the written word and the visual array of photos and graphic design. I was especially moved by the article “Turning Tragedy Into Triumph” that described how Pardeep Kaleka, Arts ’95, turned his father’s tragic death into a movement to combat the destructive force of hatred. Keep publishing articles like this that highlight the positive ways in which Marquette alums are putting

the Jesuit influence to work in our families, our work places, communities and, ultimately, the world.

MARY LOU TOPA GIBSON, JOUR ’61

Training journalists for today I hope other Marquette Magazine readers will notice the rich irony that surfaced in the last issue. First, in the letters to the editor, we read the complaint that Marquette’s journalism school was wrong in partnering with those “activist” liberal publications, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and The New York Times. What business did the school have in training journalists to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable? A few pages earlier we met Mary Schwager, Comm ’93, who puts into play the values and techniques she learned at Marquette: investigative reporting that resulted in tougher regulations on medical marijuana, a piece that improved 911 calls and probably saved lives, and winning 12 Emmys. “I feel Iike I can really make a difference in this world when I’m uncovering things in stories people don’t want you to find out.” — Just so, Mary.

PAUL C. O’SHEA, JOUR ’57

I wish to thank Dr. Muehleis for expressing his concerns related to the more recently defined mission of the school

of journalism. Dr. Slattery was gracious in her response.

Dr. Muehleis has touched on something that affects more than a single school or department at the university.

When words like “social justice,” “diversity,” “change,” “inclusive,” and “welcoming,” etc., are so frequently used, perhaps we should not assume all define them the same way. As a college philosophy teacher, I enjoy assigning Plato’s dialogues. … He asks the movers and shakers in Athenian society to carefully define the terms they toss around so easily. …Today, perhaps Socrates would ask: What does “social justice” mean as opposed to justice itself? What does “diversity” mean? What does “tolerance” mean? What does it mean to be “inclusive?” Are some viewpoints more welcome and included than others?

What does “promote change” mean? What does “faith” mean? Faith for its own sake?

Wouldn’t it be helpful to take a serious look at what our words mean? After that, we can change the world — in one way or another.

RON MCCAMY, GRAD ’96

Love the magazine and your extensive coverage of both classmates and issues. As a MU journalism grad, I must take issue with a critical look at MU journalism by a dental alum. Dr. Muehleis says steer-

EARL FINKLER, JOUR ’63

I was gratified to read the letter from Dr. Peter Muehleis regarding his skepticism of a new direction that the school of journalism is taking in its new role of fixing the world.

He has hit the nail on the head with his final comment, “most 20-year-olds do not have the world view and background to be able to weigh different points of view, and for a university to steer them into activist journalism at that age is at best malpractice.” The direction that FixesU is taking Marquette is of great concern to me. I have a continual fear that the direction is indoctrination at the expense of education.

Where is the balance that illuminates the fixes that did not work as elucidated by the likes of Thomas Sowell’s journalistic efforts in the book, The Housing Boom and Bust, or J. Kenneth Blackwell’s Rebuilding America, or Randall O’Toole’s Best Laid Plans — all of which discuss how fixes are often serious failures?

(Honish) moved Real Chili to Wells Street in 1967 (not ’76 as your article indicates).

He opened in January of ’67 and, due to the Great Chicago Blizzard, the stools for the restaurant were in a truck somewhere in Chicago. He opened anyway and for a few weeks we all stood while eating his chili.

Strides for peace

I enjoyed your “Hunger games” article in the current issue but wish to point out that Real Chili was located on Wells Street long before 1976.

During the summer of 1966, I participated in a week-long program for high school debaters in the old Speech School on 15th Street. After catching our first lunch or two at Father Mac’s grill in the basement of the dental school, we went looking for variety, found Real Chili on Wells Street and ate there the rest of the week. When I enrolled at Marquette in 1968, I introduced many old and new friends to Real Chili, eating there at least once a week. Francis (“Frank” to some) and Marion Honish took great care of us, she during the day and he at night.

Thanks for the memories.

My wife, Ede, and I are well aware of the great strides the Center for Peacemaking has made under the able direction and guidance of Father Simon and Patrick Kennelly. Marquette University should be proud of the efforts to promote nonviolence in our war-torn world.

CHUCK RADLOFF, BUS AD ’56

Missed Simon and Garfunkel I remember when this concert was held during my freshman year. One of my biggest regrets since then is that I did not bother to attend it. Did not know until this article that they were hired under their original name as “Tom & Jerry.” That is a nice piece of Marquette history!

JOHN DONAHUE, ARTS ’72

EDITOR’S NOTE:

GRAD ’72, ’83

Real Chili is great wherever located but curiosity drew us to consult The Marquette Tribune archives for specifics.

We found articles reporting Real Chili’s moves throughout the years. It seems alumni sat at the counter and ordered bowls with the works at a number of locations: 1425 W. Wisconsin Ave. (site of the Jes Res now) initially; 1510 W. Wells St. from 1966–76; and

Real Chili’s real start I received my Marquette Magazine today. In the “eats” section you point out that Real Chili began in 1931 in the basement of the Jesuit Residence. At that time it was actually a hotel, then later turned into a women’s dorm called Heraty Hall. Francis

ing students into activist journalism could be malpractice.

Journalism chair Dr. Slattery responds very well, but I’d like to add some perspective after decades of work from the Midwest to the Alaskan Arctic. We came out of Marquette with a strong focus on accuracy and getting the true story, no matter how difficult. That is why we were out there — certainly not for large salaries. In radio journalism, I remember calling officials late in the evening and early in the morning to make sure, double sure, that everything was accurate. And not to be swayed by pressure or larger news operations. Of course, reporting stories on the government, corporations, etc., can help us maintain our democracy. But our directive was always to get the facts, to be accurate and to help readers, listeners and viewers get a better handle on their community, country and the world as a whole. And once that is done, then take time for a little sleep.

1625 W. Wells St. starting in 1977. Our conclusion: As long as Marquetters know where to find this historic favorite today, we’re satisfied.

Two-minute readers Your two-minute stories are a great feature. … A word from a 1956 graduate, your respect for your Marquette education will intensify as you proceed along your career path, and your appreciation for your Marquette culture will compound and grow as you use your Marquette education to help shape our world and our future.

took during a trip to Ireland. Stunningly sharp images of the ever-green Irish countryside, wandering sheep, cathedral ruins and tall crosses were common.

In his travelogue, he highlighted a dozen or more sunrise and sunset

shots. Strong rays emanating from the setting or rising sun broke through mountainous cloud formations. “God rays” the young man called them … his favorite images.

depths as well.

What does it take for people to use their imaginations to turn natural

phenomenon into metaphors for God? St. Ignatius realized his lively imagination gave him insights about God and he encouraged those on retreat with him to plumb those depths as well.

Imagining God reaching down to touch the earth and humanity

through the rays of the sun is not a new idea. Artists have used that imagery for centuries.

Yet, concrete imagery often helps the human mind. Early in the

Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius suggests that imagining God looking at you, gazing at you with love, desiring a relationship with you is a way to deepen your faith and know of God’s presence in your own life. God deeply desires us to be happy and loving ourselves.

So often as human beings we think of God looking at us with judg-

ment and dissatisfaction. St. Ignatius believed God looks on us with deep and abiding love, as we know exists when we are in deeply loving relationships. God wants a relationship like that with us. At the same time, as we are loved so intensely by God who wants nothing but the best for us, so, too, we are called to love deeply and want the best for those around us in our families, friends, work environments, neighborhoods and cities.

Our faith depends on building a community of love and compassion.

“God rays” not only emanate from the clouds but also from the hearts of people, extending out with warmth and light in a sometimes dark and cloudy world.

Dr. Susan Mountin, Jour ’71, Grad ’94, director of Manresa for Faculty, helps us till the soil of faith in a quarterly column on Ignatian values.

2013 HELPING MARQUETTE CREATE NEW POSSIBILITIES

The dedicated members of Marquette’s 2013 President’s Society have generously supported the university’s efforts to create new possibilities for our students, our community and our world. Through the strong annual giving of these individuals and organizations, we are able to pursue academic excellence and strive to be among the most innovative and accomplished Catholic and Jesuit universities. These bold pursuits, as we fulfill our mission of educating students for a life of leadership and service to others, are possible only because of the generosity of the university’s alumni, parents and friends.

The President’s Society recognizes and honors this special group of benefactors whose gifts demonstrated significant commitment to the university during the past fiscal year. Membership includes those who made new cash gifts, payments on pledges, matching gifts, gifts of stock and gifts-in-kind from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Members receive special benefits, including public recognition through the Honor Roll listed here and online at marquette.edu/honor-roll. It is one way we show our deep appreciation for the commitment and unselfish support of our 2013 President’s Society members.

“Over time, I’ve come to understand why people give back to their alma mater.

My degree is held in the same high regard as it was 30 years ago. It is important to reach back and help others just as we were helped, especially for ethnic minorities.

If not for the financial support from the Educational Opportunity Program, it would have been very difficult for me to finish my education. At Marquette, we learned that any system is only as strong as its weakest link, and we must always work to make the least among us as strong as they can be.”

Without a kind university benefactor, I would never have been able to leave Zanzibar, Tanzania, to fulfill that dream. The Jesuit priests and lay professors who taught me have had a great impact on my life. In gratitude, my wife and I established a scholarship for deserving students in need of financial aid to pursue their dreams.”

Living in New York for the past decade, fellow alumni have become some of our best friends, colleagues and business partners. We’ve found that Marquette’s Jesuit mission lives on long past any graduation date. We remain inspired by our fellow Marquetters and the university’s positive trajectory.”
