Along with hitting the Brew for a much needed caffeine fix or taking a break at Caffrey’s Pub, Marquette students will have a different option this year to relieve the stress of preparing for finals – playing with dogs. Health Heelers, a local nonprofit organization, will provide pet therapy to the Marquette com-munity next week thanks to a co-sponsorship by the Counsel-ing Center and the Marquette Student Government.

University coverage to include birth control

With a university-wide health insurance requirement likely on the horizon, the level and type of care to be provided in Marquette’s health plan is under the microscope.

One of the most hotly debat-ed health care topics in recent months has been the issue of birth control and whether reli-gious institutions should be re-quired to provide it. Dr. Carolyn Smith, executive director of the Student Health Service, said the university insurance would cover such care if a health insurance mandate was passed.

“The state of Wisconsin, by law, says that anyone who insures anyone in the state has to provide contraceptive coverage,” Smith said. “So yes, it will be covered.”

Cobeen Hall Pastoral Minister the Rev. Michael Zeps said he is not happy with Wisconsin’s con-traceptive care mandate. Being a Catholic, Jesuit institution, Mar-quette has values that would be compromised with the provision of birth control, Zeps said.

“I don’t think that the

sessions will take place Tues-day, Dec. 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Raynor Memorial Library entrance and Friday, Dec. 7 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Alumni Memo-rial Union.

C h r i s t o p h e r Daood, the as-sistant director of the Coun-seling Center, said introduc-ing pet therapy to Marquette students dur-ing finals week has long been debated in campus discussions.

“Many other universities pro-vide this service to their stu-dents during stressful times of the year,” Daood said. See Puppies, page 7

“So we are excited to offer it this semester.”

Daood added that pet therapy is a special ex-perience for col-lege students be-cause residence halls and most apartments in the area do not permit them to have animals.

“The Coun-seling Center thought stu-dents might like the opportunity to spend some time with a furry

friend,” Daood said. “Hang-ing out with an animal for a few minutes might be one of the best ways to keep the stress

DPS Reports Events CalendarNov. 19

At 3:31 p.m. a student reported being struck by another student in an off-campus apartment in the 800 block of N. 22nd Street. The victim was trans-ported to Aurora Sinai for treatment and was released. The subject turned herself in to MPD.

Nov. 21At 4:48 a.m. a known subject was observed loitering/prowling at Olin En-gineering. MPD responded and cited the subject.

At 2:40 p.m. a student reported that unknown person(s) forcibly entered his room at Humphrey Hall, causing dam-age estimated at $700, and removed property of a value to be determined. MPD was contacted. Facilities Services was also contacted.

At 8:23 p.m. McCormick Hall staff reported the smell of marijuana coming from a room. DPS and MPD responded and a student admitted to smoking marijuana at an off-campus location.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walk-er said Monday he is confi-dent that he is not a subject in the criminal investigation sur-rounding former aides in his Milwaukee County office.

Though Walker has never been charged or accused of any wrongdoing, six aides have been charged with crimes in the in-vestigation, which began in May 2010, six months before Walker was elected governor.

Prosecutors revealed an ex-change of emails between Walker’s county executive and gubernatorial campaign staffs showing coordination as to how to handle politically sensitive topics and suggesting planting certain stories in the media.

Walker reaffirmed Mon-day that he had no knowledge of any of this and would have stopped it if he did.

Walker also said that he has not thought about any plans to run for president in 2016, saying he is “just happy being governor.”

Milwaukee police Chief Ed-ward Flynn said investigators are still looking for a weapon after a police officer shot and killed a man the officer be-lieved had just committed an armed robbery on Saturday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

A man called police af-ter he said Daniel J. Klein-mann robbed him at gunpoint. Kleinmann had reportedly met the man to buy car parts.

The officer shot Kleinmann, 28, of Germantown, just after 4 p.m. Flynn said the officer be-lieved that his life was in danger as he approached Kleinmann.

“When the officer encoun-tered Kleinmann,” Flynn said, “the actions of the suspect led the officer to reasonably believe that his life was in danger, and he discharged his weapon.”

The Journal-Sentinel re-ported that the case is being reviewed by MPD and the Milwaukee County districts attorney’s office.

Weapon missing in alleged robbery

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reported last week that 2012 has seen the second highest bear harvest in Wisconsin history. Accord-ing to the report, hunters reg-istered more than 4,400 black bears this year, an increase from 4,257 bears in 2011 but down from 5,133 in 2010.

“In recent years, bears have be-come more common throughout the state, including many central and southern counties. We had a bear reported as far south as Green County this year, and we’re hearing of more bears living year-round in many central counties,” said Kevin Wallenfang, an ecolo-gist for the DNR, in the report.

In the Wisconsin gun deer season, 20 wolves were also reported to have been killed by hunters. Of the 20, 18 were killed by hunters with fire-arms while two were caught by trappers using foothold traps.

Through the entire hunting season, 98 wolves have been killed of the 116 wolf quota.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s of-fice in Florida arrested a woman Sat-urday who was photographed two months ago riding an endangered manatee, according to Reuters. It violates the Florida Manatee Sanc-tuary Act to “annoy, molest, harass or disturb” the endangered animal.

Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez, 53, was arrested for committing a sec-ond-degree misdemeanor. Her ar-rest followed media coverage of an unidentified woman touching and riding a manatee. Gutierrez turned herself in to the sheriff’s office.

A news release said Gutier-rez is new to the area and did not realize it was against the law to touch or harass manatees.

Republicans and Democrats in Washington are deadlocked over a solution to the impending “fiscal cliff” that will go into ef-fect if Congress fail to act before

Debate over ‘fiscal cliff’ continues

Dec. 31. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the so-called cliff, a man-dated series of tax-rate increases and spending cuts totaling more than $600 billion, is expected to push the economy back into recession should it occur.

The Bush tax cuts, which are of particular convention, are set to expire at the end of the year. Republicans want to extend all of the cuts for another year, while Democrats are pushing for an in-crease in tax rates for families earning $250,000 and more.

Most Republicans and some Democrats have signed the Tax-payer Protection Pledge, put for-ward by the anti-tax group Ameri-cans for Tax Reform, pledging that they would not raise taxes during their terms in Congress. The GOP has called for a de-crease in spending for entitle-ments, such as Medicare and So-cial Security, as an alternative means to cut the deficit.

According to a CNN/ORC poll, 72 percent of Americans believe that a compromise should be made to solve the issue, but 67 percent say the current Congress is acting like a bunch of “spoiled children.”

UN ambassador is frontrunner for secretary of stateSusan Rice, Sen. John Kerry competing to be the top diplomat

With congressional opposition softening, U.N. Ambassador Su-san Rice could find her name in contention as early as this week to succeed Hillary Rodham Clin-ton as secretary of state. It’s a step that may signal greater U.S. willingness to intervene in world crises during President Barack Obama’s second term.

As Obama nears a decision on who should be the coun-try’s next top diplomat, Rice has emerged as the clear front-run-ner on a short list of candidates that many believe has been nar-rowed to just her and Sen. John Kerry, despite lingering questions over her comments about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya.

According to congressional aides and administration offi-cials, Rice will be making the rounds on Capitol Hill this week for closed door meetings with key lawmakers whose support she will need to be confirmed. Those appearances follow her first in-depth explanation of her Benghazi remarks that Republi-cans seized on as evidence of the administration’s mishandling of the attack that took the lives of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.

A senior Senate aide said the administration was trying to mea-sure the strength of the Republi-can opposition to a Rice nomi-nation, sounding out the more moderate members of the Foreign Relations Committee such as Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who is in line to become the panel’s top Republican next year, and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.

Rice is scheduled to meet on Tuesday with Sen. John Mc-Cain, R-Ariz., her most vocal critic on Capitol Hill. She will also meet with Sen. Kelly Ayo-tte, R-N.H. McCain and Ayo-tte are members of the Armed Services Committee.

During an interview on Mon-day, McCain said he would ask Rice “the same questions I’ve been talking about on every talk show in America.” Asked wheth-er he thinks she’s still unfit for secretary of state and what he was hoping for, McCain interrupted and said, “I’m not hoping for any-thing. She asked to see me and I agreed to see her.”

Assessing the prospects for Rice before Obama makes any announcement would avoid the embarrassment of a protracted fight with the Senate early in the president’s second term.

On talk shows the weekend fol-lowing the attacks, Rice relied on talking points provided by the intelligence community that de-scribed the attack as a spontane-ous assault growing out of a pro-test of an anti-Muslim film. GOP critics say her remarks down-

played evidence of an obvious terrorist attack just weeks before the Nov. 6 election.

Republicans called her nomi-nation doomed, leading to a vig-orous defense of her by Obama in his first post-election news conference. But since then, GOP lawmakers seemed to have softened their views. McCain, who said earlier this month that would he do everything in his power to scuttle a Rice nomina-tion, said on Sunday that he was willing to hear her out before making a decision. McCain ally Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has also eased his opposition and said he is usually deferential to presidential Cabinet picks.

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, had issued a state-ment highly critical of Rice on the day of Obama’s news con-ference. He indicated Monday that perhaps she didn’t know what had transpired in Benghazi on the day of the attack.

“I assumed she had full knowl-edge of everything that went on. I’m not at all convinced of that now. She very well could have been thrown under the bus,” Inhofe said in an inter-view. He said she hadn’t request-ed a meeting but he would be glad to meet with her.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that the administration appreciated Mc-Cain’s latest comments about Rice, but wouldn’t say whether the president saw them as an opening to make the nomina-tion. “Ambassador Rice has done

an excellent job at the United Nations and is highly qualified for any number of positions,” Carney said.

Several diplomats currently serving with Rice said that what she lacked in Clinton’s star power, she could make up with a blunter approach that demands attention and has marked her tenure thus far at the United Nations.

Rice, who at 48 is relatively young, has played the role of “conscience of the administra-tion” on human rights and detain-ee issues and would bring “a cer-tain edge” to the secretary of state job, according one colleague who has dealt with Rice on multiple is-sues over the past three years.

She “will not be going into the job as a star,” said Karl Inder-furth, a former U.S. ambassador and senior State Department of-ficial who worked closely with Rice in President Bill Clinton’s administration when she worked as a staff aide to the National Security Council and then as assistant secretary of state for African affairs. “She will be a rising star, though.”

“Hillary Clinton understood the politics of diplomacy: what the person across the table needs in order to sell some-thing,” said Inderfurth, now at the Center for Strategic and In-ternational Studies think tank in Washington. “Susan Rice’s background is different. What she’ll bring is her experience in multilateral engagement and the limitations thereof.”

“But the most important thing she brings to the table is her re-lationship with the president,” Inderfurth said.

Rice, like many other foreign policy experts of her genera-tion, was shaped by the Clinton administration’s inability to pre-vent the genocide of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda 1994. Years later, she told a journal-ist: “I swore to myself that if I

ever faced such a crisis again, I would come down on the side of dramatic action, going down in flames if that was required.”

That doesn’t mean the U.S. will change its policy of only provid-ing humanitarian support to Syr-ian rebels fighting to overthrow the regime anytime soon. But Rice’s confirmation as the next secretary of state could alter the balance in an administration that has viewed humanitarian inter-ventions with significant skepti-cism, given its rejection of the Bush administration’s war in Iraq.

An early supporter of Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, Rice fell out with some of her Clinton administration-era NSC and State Department col-leagues who urged her to sup-port Hillary Clinton’s competing candidacy, including her own mentor, Madeleine Albright, and some of her top aides.

With the Clinton-Obama pri-mary battle in full gear in April 2008, tension between the two camps was on public display at a ceremony and reception to un-veil Albright’s official portrait in the State Department’s or-nate 8th floor Benjamin Frank-lin room, according to several people present. At those events, Rice firmly brushed aside ap-peals that she switch allegiance, those present said.

Obama’s 2008 election brought with it the prospect that Rice, one of his campaign’s top for-eign policy advisers, might be in line for the Cabinet job she is known to covet. Instead, howev-er, Obama went with the surprise choice of Clinton and gave Rice the U.N. portfolio, although he at-tempted to deflect her disappoint-ment by restoring the job to a Cabinet-level position.

But her sights remained set on the top job, according to people who know her.

Since arriving in New York, Rice can point to a series of diplomatic achievements —

most notably the NATO-led air campaign that toppled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and tougher sanctions against Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs.

But Rice has also been criti-cized — along with other Secu-rity Council leaders — for the failure of the U.N.’s most power-ful body to take action to end the 19-month civil war in Syria.

She has also been criticized, es-pecially by human rights groups, for being too protective of U.S. allies, namely Sri Lanka where the U.N. says up to 40,000 eth-nic Tamil civilians may have been killed in the final months of the country’s civil war that ended in May 2009, and Rwan-da, which has been accused of backing the M23 rebel group that last week took control of the eastern Congo city of Goma.

As U.N. ambassador, she has gained a reputation for a sharp intellect and sharp elbows. She is not known for diplomatic fi-nesse, rather for being aggres-sive — sometimes too aggres-sive — and using salty language on occasion. In private, she has a good sense of humor.

In a legendary exchange last December, Rice dismissed an appeal by Russia’s U.N. Ambas-sador Vitaly Churkin, who also isn’t afraid to speak out, for a Security Council investigation of civilian deaths in Libya from NATO’s bombing campaign as “a cheap stunt” to distract attention from the Syrian conflict.

“Oh, the bombast and bogus claims,” she told reporters.

Churkin responded by mock-ing Rice’s Stanford University degree, saying: “We hear that the Obama administration wants to establish a dialogue with the inter-national community in the United Nations... If this is the intention, really this Stanford dictionary of expletives must be replaced by something more Victorian.”

With congressional opposition softening, Susan Rice could find her name in contention as early as this week to succeed Hillary Clinton as secretary of state.

Professional-in-residence awarded Nohl FellowshipDanielle Beverly only documentarian in MKE competition

Danielle Beverly, digital me-dia professional in residence in the College of Communica-tion, was awarded a $15,000 fellowship this month from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary H. Nohl.

According to the organiza-tion’s website, the award recog-nizes independent visual artists in the counties of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Wash-ington “who are making, or will make, significant contributions to their fields and who promote the arts in the region through continued excellence.”

Polly Morris, the media con-tact for the Nohl Fellowship, ex-plained the selection criteria.

“Jurors look for an almost in-effable sense that the artist is continuing to innovate within the field, and that the award – the money, the exposure of the

by melanie Lawdermelanie.lawder@marquette.edu

exhibition and the catalogue – will enable them to accomplish something new and perhaps larg-er than would have been possible without Nohl support,” Morris said.

Beverly received the fellow-ship for individual artists and was the only established artist in her category who had not previ-ously won a Nohl grant. She was also the only candidate who uses documentary film as her pre-ferred medium.

Only seven of the 150 candi-dates who applied for the fellow-ship were awarded a Nohl grant. The grant money was dispensed in $5,000 increments for emerg-ing artists and $15,000 incre-ments for established artists. All of the funds awarded are unre-stricted, meaning each artist can use the funds for any of his or her creative ventures.

Beverly said she intends to use this fellowship money to complete her documentary “Old South.” She expects to be fin-ished by spring 2013.

The “Old South” documentary follows the trials of Georgia’s second-oldest African American neighborhood as the community is disturbed by a “Confederate flag-flying” college fraternity.

The film chronicles the “shock and major concern” the commu-nity expresses as the fraternity hosts antebellum parades and knocks down buildings in the neighborhood to build planta-tion-style mansions.

Beverly began the “Old South” project in 2008 and moved to Georgia for several years to gather material for the film. It is currently in postproduction.

“One thing I don’t think a lot of people at Marquette realize is that a feature film takes about a year to edit,” Beverly said.

Before coming to Marquette, Beverly also worked at vari-ous broadcasting centers such as PBS and ITVS and was the field producer for the 2011 docu-mentary film “Rebirth,” which follows the lives of five people directly affected by the events of 9/11. The film, which took a decade to complete, received the Peabody Award.

“At each one of those jobs, I was able to make a difference in the world and communicate something about the world that was of importance for us to know about,” Beverly said. “So I continue to do that with my own work, and those are really only the types of jobs that I take and,

frankly, that’s why I’m at Mar-quette.”

This spring, Beverly will be teaching a three-credit seminar, “Women & Documentary,” ex-amining local and international

Church, Congress rekindle immigration reformUS bishops calling for just and humane reform after election

With the election season over, people have turned their focus to Congress and the slew of issues that still need to be re-solved. These issues include the deficit, foreign affairs, job cre-ation and one that the Catholic Church has focused on recently – immigration policy reform.

The Rev. José H. Gomez, the archbishop of Los Ange-les and chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic

by Seamus Doyleseamus.doyle@marquette.edu

Bishops’ Committee on Mi-gration, called for compre-hensive immigration reform in light of bipartisan support for the issue expressed during the election season.

“I am heartened by the re-cent public statements of the leaders of both political par-ties supporting the consider-ation of comprehensive im-migration reform in the new Congress,” Gomez said in a statement released Nov. 13.

Gomez called for Catholics and “others of good will” to support the issue of immigra-tion reform.

“For decades, the U.S. Cath-olic bishops have advocated for a just and humane reform of our nation’s immigration system,” he said. “We have witnessed the family separation,

exploitation and the loss of life caused by the current system. Millions of persons remain in the shadows, without legal pro-tection and marginalized from society. As a moral matter, this suffering must end.”

Edward Fallone, an associate professor of law at Marquette and a specialist in immigra-tion law and policy, agreed that a comprehensive reform of U.S. immigration policy is a distinct possibility.

“The time may finally be ripe for comprehensive immigra-tion reform because the Latino population has become a big enough voting bloc that both political parties are vying for their support,” Fallone said in an email.

One of the immigration re-forms that President Obama and

Members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops are seen above a piano as they applaud after Cardinal Timothy Dolan, of New York, president of the conference, spoke at the group’s annual fall meeting in Baltimore, Monday, Nov. 12, 2012.

congressional Democrats tried to pass in 2011 was the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act sought to stop deportation and provide a path to citizenship for undocu-mented individuals brought to the U.S. under the age of 16 with “good moral character,” who served in the U.S. military or went to college.

While Republicans blocked the legislation, Obama has in-stituted parts of it via executive order, he said. However, a path to citizenship for undocument-ed individuals can only be made through legislation passed by Congress.

While Republicans and Dem-ocrats have different views on creating immigration reform, Fallone thinks comprehensive immigration reform would probably look similar to the

immigration reform bill that failed under George W. Bush.

“It (comprehensive immigra-tion reform) would combine some form of amnesty for those unlawfully present provided they entered more than five years ago and have no criminal record, along with measures to beef up border enforcement and streamline measures for verify-ing the identity of citizens and lawful immigrants, as well as creating new ways for unskilled workers to enter the U.S. law-fully for employment,” Fallone said. “But all three components are necessary, and reform is not likely to be effective if these pieces are enacted piecemeal.”

Passing comprehensive im-migration reform depends on whether more pressing and polarizing issues be-come factors, Richard Fri-man, a Marquette professor of political science, said.

“The polarization caused by the healthcare debate made it difficult to be bipartisan on oth-er issues,” Friman said.

One of the reasons that com-prehensive immigration reform has large congressional support is the level of support from the Latino vote, according to one Huffington Post poll. The La-tino community accounts for about 10 percent of voters and is the fastest growing demo-graphic in America.

“There is a lot of danger in looking at the Latino commu-nity as a cohesive voting bloc,” Friman said. “There are a lot of differing perspectives in the La-tino community.”

The last time comprehensive immigration reform passed Congress was with the Immi-gration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Critics of the bill argued against the portion that allowed for “amnesty” to un-documented immigrants.

“Passing a comprehensive re-form depends on how much co-operation across the aisle Con-gress can get,” Friman said.

Puppies: MUSG, counseling center bring dogs to campus next weekof finals in perspective.”

Students will have the op-portunity to play with the ani-mals in the designated area for an unlimited time as long as other students are not waiting for a turn, Daood said.

Tara Vandygriff, a senior in the College of Communica-tion and one of MUSG’s com-missioners for pet therapy, said the total cost of the pro-gram was $175 and thinks two to four dogs will visit campus each scheduled day.

Vandygriff added that the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Madison has held this event in the past, and it received a great response.

“We are confident that MU students are going to be thrilled about this program and want it to grow larger in the future,” Vandygriff said.

Laura Hey, founder of Health Heelers, an animal-assisted professional dog therapy for programs including health care and educational and commu-nity needs in the southeastern Wisconsin area, said therapy dogs have been scientifically proven to help relieve stress and may prove especially beneficial for college students.

Hey said students’ reactions to dogs on campus is always entertaining.

“If they’re not expecting it, their mouths drop,” Hey said. “There are always huge smiles on their faces and I see a lot of comfort because it may remind them of their pet at home.”

skills, stability and behavioral patterns. She added registered dogs must be mature enough to handle situations like therapy sessions at universities.

Elizabeth Thalanany, a junior in the College of Nursing, said

pet therapy can help certain individuals but that it might not be for everyone.

“I’m not really that much of a dog person,” Thalanany said. “During finals, I am focused and always busy, so I am not sure if

I would have time to head over and take part in pet therapy by playing with the dogs.”

Nevertheless, she said pet therapy is better than oth-er forms of stress relief like grabbing late night snacks or

relying on caffeine.“Playing with dogs could be

the break some students need,” Thalanany said. “Especially for people who have a pet, it could remind them of home even for a little while during finals week.”

Vice President of Student Af-fairs L. Christopher Miller said that since Wisconsin passed its law requiring insurance plans to include birth control coverage in

2009, “any student health insur-ance plan offered by Marquette since 2009 has provided this benefit.”

Wisconsin law only requires

the university’s health insurance plan to cover birth control costs, so Student Health Service is not obligated to offer any forms of birth control in Schroeder

Complex. The service’s state-ment on contraception reads: “In keeping with the Catholic tradi-tion regarding birth control, the Student Health Service does not dispense condoms nor prescribe contraceptive medication.”

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, there are 26 states, including Wisconsin, that require all health insurers to offer contraceptive services. Additionally, 21 states “offer exemptions from contra-ceptive coverage, usually for religious reasons, for insurers or employers in their policies,” but Wisconsin is not one of them.

The Affordable Care Act, which will fully go into effect in 2014, will also have a federal contraception requirement at the federal level, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However, the act will offer exemptions from this requirement to “group health plans sponsored by certain reli-gious employers and group health insurance coverage in connection with such plans.”

The university’s health insur-ance proposal will be presented to the Board of Trustees at either its meeting in December or in its spring meeting, Smith said. If the proposal is approved next month, the mandate will be implement-ed in fall 2013. If the presenta-tion is delayed until the spring meeting, the requirement will go into effect in fall 2014.Infographic by Rob Gebelhoff/robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu

Black Friday began earlier than ever this year, with many stores opting to open even before the end of Thanksgiving. Shop-pers found themselves facing more than just crowds on Friday, with violence sometimes accom-panying savings.

This year, two people were shot outside a Wal-Mart in Tallahas-see, Fla., and were sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. In Covington, Wash., a 71-year-old intoxicated man drove over two people in a Wal-Mart parking lot and was later charged with vehicular assault. In a Sears parking lot in San Anto-nio, a man started a fight, prompt-ing another man with a concealed carry license to draw his weapon, promptly ending the scuffle.

Emily Wulfkuhle, a sophomore in the College of Education, said the savings on Black Friday made fighting the crowds worth it, de-spite such instances of violence.

“I went shopping on Black Fri-day to find some of the best deals all year,” Wulfkuhle said in an email. “Even though I could have gotten certain deals on Saturday, I wanted to have the best choices.”

Black Friday violence appears to decrease in frequency each year, and in 2012 the big story was stores such as Wal-Mart and Tar-get opened as early as 8 p.m. on Thursday evening. Wulfkuhle was one of those who went to Target on Thanksgiving night, but she said doing so was unnecessary.

“I really only went because it was exciting that a small town’s store was opening so early,”

Record-breaking $59.1 billion in Black Friday salesViolence at doorbuster sales decreasing in frequency across USBy Jacob Bornjacob.born@marquette.edu

Wulfkuhle said. “I do not think that it is necessary for stores to open that early. The stores were dead after the big rush at 9 p.m.”

Possibly due to stores open-ing earlier than ever, 2012 saw record-breaking sales. This year’s estimated amount of spending was $59.1 billion, up 12.9 percent from last year, according to Fox Busi-ness. On top of the $59.1 billion spent in stores, online shopping broke $1 billion for the first time.

Lauren Holman, a sophomore in the College of Communica-tion, said she would rather go shopping from home rather than try to fight the crowds.

“I knew I was going to have better luck shopping from home,” Holman said. “I don’t like to fight the crowds. I’d rather have my Starbucks coffee and relax when I shop.”

Cyber Monday is the online equivalent of Black Friday. While only a small amount of retailers participate, the biggest names in the industry, such as Sears, Ma-cy’s and Wal-Mart, are usually among those that do, according to an article on Yahoo!. Holman said shopping on Cyber Monday could be even more hectic than Black Friday shopping.

“Instead of fighting with other

people you see visually, you’re doing it against a totally different clock,” she said. “You’re trying to get what you want before some-one else gets it. You don’t know if someone is trying to get it, but you have to assume they are.”

Even with all of these deals, Black Friday leads some to question whether the savings are worth it. Wulfkuhle and Holman both expressed the ab-surdity of buying things on or the day after Thanksgiving.

“As far as I’m concerned, I think it’s really messed up,” Holman said. “For me, Thanksgiving’s an awesome traditional holiday, but

now we have to eat earlier. You have to rush your dinner plans just to go shopping. If you can do it all online, then why rush around to do it right then and there?”

Wulfkuhle noted the contra-diction between fighting the crowds on Black Friday and a day of thanks.

“I think that it is very ironic that we go from a day of fam-ily and thanksgiving, to a day where we are fighting with other people for great deals,” Wul-fkuhle said. “Even though I usu-ally do not go shopping for myself on Black Friday, I still think it is silly that it is the next day.”

Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi struck an uncompromis-ing stand Monday over his sei-zure of near absolute powers, refusing in a meeting with top judicial authorities to rescind a package of constitutional amend-ments that placed his edicts above oversight by the courts.

Morsi’s supporters, mean-while, canceled a massive rally planned for Tuesday to com-pete with a demonstration by his opponents, citing the need to “defuse tension” at a time when anger over the president’s moves is mounting, according to a spokesman for the president’s Muslim Brotherhood.

The opposition rally was going ahead as scheduled at Cairo’s Tah-rir square, birthplace of the upris-ing that toppled Hosni Mubarak’s regime nearly two years ago.

The meeting between Morsi and members of the Supreme Judiciary Council was a bid to resolve a four-day crisis that has plunged the country into a new round of turmoil, with clashes between the two sides

Egypt’s president refuses to discuss amendmentsNew round of turmoil after president grants himself immunityBy Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

that have left one protester dead and hundreds wounded.

Morsi, according to a presi-dential statement, told the judges that while the constitutional dec-laration he announced Thurs-day grants him immunity from any oversight, he intended to restrict that to what it described as “sovereignty issues.”

The vaguely worded statement did not define those issues, but they were widely interpreted to cover declaration of war, imposi-tion of martial law, breaking dip-lomatic relations with a foreign nation or dismissing a Cabinet.

The statement did not touch on the protection from over-sight Morsi has extended to two bodies dominated by his Broth-erhood and other Islamists: The 100-member panel tasked with drafting a new constitu-tion and parliament’s mostly toothless lower chamber, or the Shura council.

The Shura Council does not have lawmaking authorities but, in the absence of the more powerful lower chamber, the People’s Assembly, it is the only popularly elected body where the Brotherhood and other Islamists have a majority. The People’s Assembly was dissolved by a court ruling in June.

The judiciary has pushed back, calling the decrees a power grab and an “assault” on the branch’s independence. Judges and

prosecutors stayed away from many courts in Cairo and else-where on Sunday and Monday.

A spokesman, Yasser Ali, said Morsi told the judges that he act-ed within his rights as the nation’s sole source of legislation, assur-ing them that the decrees were temporary and did not in any way infringe on the judiciary.

Two prominent rights lawyers — Gamal Eid and Ahmed Ra-gheb — dismissed Ali’s remarks.

Eid said they were designed to keep “Morsi above the law,” while Ragheb said they amounted to “playing with words.”

“This is not what Egyptians are objecting to and protesting about,” Ragheb said. “If the pres-ident wanted to resolve the crisis, there should be an amendment to his constitutional declaration.”

In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke Monday by telephone with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mo-hammed Kamel Amr to “register American concerns about Egypt’s political situation,” according to spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

Clinton stressed that the U.S. wanted to “see the constitutional process move forward in a way that does not overly concentrate power in one set of hands, that ensures that rule of law, checks and balances, protection of the rights of all groups in Egypt are upheld,” Nuland said.

Morsi’s aides have repeatedly

emphasized that the president has no intention of amending his decrees, meaning the near abso-lute powers they give him will stand. Morsi also issued a law to “protect the revolution” that rights activists maintain is ef-fectively a declaration of emer-gency laws designed to combat poorly defined threats to the nation or to public order.

Opposition activists have de-nounced Morsi’s decrees as a blatant power grab, and re-fused to enter a dialogue with the president before the edicts are rescinded.

Morsi says he wants to retain the new powers until the new constitution is adopted in a na-tionwide referendum and par-liamentary elections are held, a time line that stretches to the middle of next year.

Many members of the ju-diciary were appointed under Mubarak, drawing allegations, even by some of Morsi’s critics, that they are trying to perpetuate the regime’s corrupt practices. But opponents are angry that the decrees leave Morsi without any check on his power.

Morsi, who became Egypt’s first freely elected president in June, was quoted by Ali as tell-ing his prime minister and secu-rity chiefs earlier Monday that his decrees were designed to “end the transitional period as soon as possible.”

The dispute is the latest crisis to roil the Arab world’s most popu-lous nation, which has faced mass protests, a rise in crime and eco-nomic woes since the initial eu-phoria following the popular up-rising that ousted Mubarak after nearly 30 years of autocratic rule.

Morsi’s decrees were moti-vated in part by a court ruling in June that dissolved parlia-ment’s more powerful lower chamber, the People’s Assem-bly, which was dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and ultraconservative Islamists.

The verdict meant that legis-lative authority first fell in the hands of the then-ruling military, but Morsi grabbed it in August after he ordered the retirement of the army’s two top generals.

Morsi’s decrees saved the con-stitutional panel and the upper chamber from a fate similar to that of the People’s Assembly because several courts looking into the legal basis of their cre-ation were scheduled to issue verdicts to disband them.

Secular and Christian politi-cians have withdrawn from the 100-seat panel tasked with draft-ing the charter to protest what they call the hijacking of the process by Morsi’s Islamist al-lies. They fear the Islamists will produce a draft that infringes on the rights of liberals, women and the minority Christians.

Wis. unemployment rate drops, fewer jobs in MKEAbout 19 percent of Milwaukee County live below poverty line

Wisconsin’s unemployment rate fell to 6.3 percent in Oc-tober, down from 7.3 in Sep-tember, though Milwaukee lost 4,500 jobs.

According to the Bureau of La-bor Statistics, Milwaukee has fre-quently experienced higher em-ployment rates than many other Wisconsin cities. In September, Milwaukee’s unemployment rate

By Claudia Brokishclaudia.brokish@marquette.edu

was 6.9 precent, while Madison, Oshkosh, Green Bay and Sheboy-gan had unemployment rates of 4.6 percent, 5.7 percent, 5.7 per-cent and 5.9 percent, respectively.

“The unemployment rate and the number of jobs created are calculated using two different methods,” said Abdur Chow-dhury, chair of the department of economics. “The unemploy-ment rate is calculated through a telephone survey of households, while the number of jobs created is calculated based on informa-tion received from employers. So sometimes they may diverge.”

He said the unemployment rate measures the percentage of the to-tal labor force that is unemployed but actively seeking employment and willing to work.

Pizza Man restaurant to deliver again after firePizzeria feasible with funding from Pizza Man enthusiasts

Pizza Man will rise from the ashes in a new location on Mil-waukee’s east side nearly three years after a fire ravaged the pop-ular restaurant.

Restaurant owner Mike Amid-zich announced he signed a let-ter of intent on Nov. 15 to lease property at the southwest corner of North Downer Avenue and East Belleview Place, according to a press release.

Last Monday, the Historic Pres-ervation Commission approved the plan to renovate two floors of the property on 2595-2597 N. Downer Ave., which currently houses a dry cleaner and six oc-cupied apartments operating on month-to-month leases. Now, only minor-modification approv-als require confirmation from the Plan Commission, zoning depart-ment and Common Council.

Less than a mile away from its former location on the north-east corner of E. North and N. Oakland avenues, the new Pizza Man will feature two floors of seating and an outdoor terrace on the second floor, the release said. Architect Matt Rinka of Rinka Chung Architecture will lead the renovation.

“We plan to take a contempo-rary approach to the design that preserves the rustic, urban charm of the original Pizza Man,” Rinka said in the release. “The outdoor seating is what drew Mike to the location and the design but will also help connect the energy of

Pizza Man to the street, bringing vitality to an important corner.”

Pizza Man, which opened in 1970, is known for its extensive assortment of wines and deep dish pizzas. It became a cher-ished Milwaukee eatery over the next 40 years until January 2010 when a fire destroyed its building, which also accom-modated other restaurants and apartments. The fire caused $3 million in damage.

Although generally considered more of a haunt for University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students, Marquette students enjoyed

grabbing slices there, too. Mike White, a Marquette law student, said he enjoyed Pizza Man most-ly for its food and atmosphere.

“There aren’t a ton of sit-down pizza places, so it was nice to have that around,” White said. “I hope the food stays relatively the same. ... I hope they don’t try and reinvent the whole place because I really liked the atmosphere, and I’d hate to see them try to change what they are too drastically.”

Amidzich originally said in 2011 that he would not reopen Pizza Man and planned to focus on running his other company,

Stinky Gringo Margaritas, with his wife, Deanna. The Busi-ness Journal reported Amidzich initially could not get a bank to provide financing, but when an influx of investors and Pizza Man enthusiasts came forward with funding, the plan to resurrect the pizzeria became feasible.

Feras Rahman, former owner of the neighboring Black and White Café, was indicted for ar-son after the five-alarm fire en-gulfed his café, Pizza Man, Gre-cian Delight, Cush Lounge and several apartments.

A federal jury acquitted

Rahman of arson in May and convicted him of lying to in-vestigators, but U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa will have the final say on sentenc-ing on March 11th, according to federal court documents.

Prosecutors alleged circum-stantial evidence indicated Rah-man or an accomplice started a gasoline fire in his restaurant af-ter relatives, who invested in his south side car dealership, pres-sured him to dump the café.

Rahman will face the maxi-mum five years if found guilty of arson.

Milwaukee’s unemployment rate is relatively low compared to the national rate of 7.9 percent and the rates of some other major cities, including Chicago, which had an October unemployment rate of 8.4 percent, a number Or-lando matched in September.

But Milwaukee is not doing as well when compared to cities like St. Louis, Cleveland, Dallas and St. Paul, which had unemploy-ment rates of 7.0 percent, 6.6 per-cent, 6.3 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively, in September.

Moreover, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 19.2 percent of residents in Mil-waukee County are living below the poverty level.

The decline in jobs worries some students, who fear that the

job market will not be favorable once they graduate.

“I definitely worry about find-ing a job after college,” said Lisa Bonvissuto, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences. “I’m an English major, so I know find-ing a job in this economy is going to be difficult.”

But whether graduates will be able to find jobs, even if the number of jobs continues to de-cline in Milwaukee, very much depends on the degrees they earn, said Olga Yakusheva, a professor of economics.

“One has to look at where the new jobs are being created,” Yakusheva said. “Not everyone is going to find a good job, and that’s how it has always been, re-cession or not. The new jobs are

now predominantly in the health care industry and professional and business services. There is also growth in retail, but I suspect it may be seasonal.”

Yakusheva said demand for some degrees is increasing while some continue to struggle.

“So that’s good news for grad-uates with a health care-related degree or a business degree,” she continued. “Most experts agree there will be a persistent and growing demand for profession-als with knowledge of health care management and administration. However, some degree fields, like those in Arts & Sciences, may continue to struggle in the labor market until the economy is fully recovered, which may take a bit longer.”

We think most students would agree Thanksgiving break is the best thing since … well, winter break. Oth-er than the obvious reason of hav-ing a five-day weekend, Thanksgiv-ing break is special because of the variety of ways people use it.

Some people eat their weight in mashed potatoes; others spend their day watch-ing football. Students can finally sleep in and get a head start on those final proj-ects (or not). Perhaps you’re one of the people who play board games with your extended family next to a fireplace, or maybe you’re one of those brave/crazy souls freezing your hiney off waiting in line for Black Friday door-busters.

Regardless of what you did over Thanksgiving break, we hope you were able to do something with your family, friends and loved ones. After all, that’s what this time of year is really about.

And now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to turn our attention to the upcoming holidays, specifically those that involve presents.

Last weekend, record number of shop-pers participated in the largest shopping days of the year. From children’s toys to 65-inch televisions, Santa was able to cross a lot of things off his shopping list at a discounted price. But is he just giving these gifts because it’s his job, or does he really care that we’ve been good all year and deserve a little reward?

Embracing my family’s Thanksgiving chaos

As we returned to school after Thanks-giving and a few days of relaxing, shop-ping and not doing any homework, some people are recovering not only from holiday hangovers and tryptophan co-mas but also the stress that seems to be caused by spending long periods of time with people who share similar genetic structures to their own: family.

Family gatherings used to be stress-ful for me. As one of the quieter mem-bers of my extended family, I used to feel lost in the crowd. And it is quite the crowd. My mom is one of 11 chil-dren, all with their own children, and we’re getting old enough now that many of my cousins have started fami-lies of their own. All of you who know me will laugh when you read me calling myself “quiet,” but in that bunch, I am. That should tell you something about my family. Over the years, I’ve learned there are ways to get your voice heard, if you really want to. I’ve also learned to wear heels, as I’m one of the few in my family who will never reach or exceed the illustrious 6-foot mark.

Thanksgiving this year was “small”; we only had about 30 people at our din-ner gathering Thursday. Over the course of the afternoon, we received several phone calls from other gatherings of our kin across the country, including a picture of a wonky-looking turkey from Florida.

After dinner, the dreaded task of draw-ing names for our annual Christmas gift exchange was upon us. And by us,

I mean the four of us (myself included) who did not flee the room when someone mentioned “drawing names.” It’s an im-portant process, and there are rules. The thing is, the rules have never been writ-ten down, so we have to re-determine them every year. Which means they are different every year. Are boyfriends and girlfriends included? What determines if you’re in the adult or kid exchange? Do we include out-of-town family? Speak-ing of which, who will be in town for Christmas this year? Remember the year of the infamous White Elephant? Do we really even need a gift exchange at all? Isn’t it a little excessive, anyway?

Sound stressful? It would be, to most, but we all must have some weird ge-netic mutation that allows us to enjoy something so complicated. I used to get so invested in the outcome that I would try to run the whole thing myself, and when, for obvious reasons, teenage me was not allowed to have her way and be in charge of the clan, I would get so upset that I’d end up in tears somewhere or whining about it to my dad.

Some people might find the holidays stressful because of all the forced fam-ily time. I would find them stressful if it wasn’t for the time I get to spend with my relatives. Christmas especially is the one time of the year when we are all able to get together and catch up. We have a deep respect for one another, but we also are not afraid to call each other out if someone is doing something truly stupid (details and anecdotes spared in this column because of that whole re-spect thing). We often joke that we would make such a better reality show than the Kardashians. But really, we would.

My high school friends sometimes com-plain that I seem to have so many family “obligations” when I’m home, but I could not imagine going home for the holidays and not spending time with my family. The reality is, I look forward to the time I spend with them, and I enjoy the chaos that a family gathering can bring.caroline.campbell@marquette.edu“ LET US NOT BE SATISFIED WITH JUST

” -MOTHERTHERESA

LOVE EVERYWHERE YOU GO.

there’s a lesson to be learned from that last sentence.

We hope that all of those who have started making a list and checking it twice will consider alternative op-tions to mainstream consumerism. Store-bought gifts are not the only op-tion this season; neither is buying gifts for people just because that’s what you’re “supposed” to do.

Buying commercial gifts is far from the only way to show a per-son you care. In fact, if that is the only way you express your apprecia-tion for your loved ones, perhaps you should re-evaluate your methods.

Shouldn’t spending quality time with your family and friends be a genuine gift in itself? Sure, the holidays are often times for family quarrels and uncomfort-able sibling rivalries, but without those quirks, it just wouldn’t be family.

“Giving” doesn’t always have to mean gifts. It can mean giving your cousin moral support for his job interview, giv-ing your parents appreciation for all they do or giving your grandma a smile by enjoying her cookies (even though they may not taste the greatest).

What if material gifts didn’t exist, and everyone donated the money saved to those in need of food and shelter? We’re not saying all gifts are bad, but they would be a lot more meaningful in this scenario, or even if they were given with more care and less consumerism.

Recognizing the faces behind your daily routine

I’m a person of habit. Every Mon-day and Wednesday afternoon I walk into the Natural Market in the AMU, browse the yogurt shelf in search of the parfait with the most granola in it, and then purchase it from the same woman who always works at the counter.

Most days, this woman and I exchange small talk about yogurt. She’ll ask what my favorite kind is, or she’ll agree with me that the peach yogurt concoc-tion that randomly appears every once in a while needs to never appear again. And then I’ll be on my way.

Without fail, this woman always greets

me with a warm smile and wishes me well as I walk out the door. Although I’ve only had minimal interaction with her, I can tell that she is a wonderful per-son and that I’ll regret it if I don’t get to know her better before I graduate.

This example speaks to what, in my opinion, is one of the best things about Marquette – how kind the people who work here are. And one of the best things about being a columnist is having the freedom to write about and recog-nize such people who so often make my day without ever realizing it.

These are the individuals who know your name even if you don’t know theirs. These people always have smiles on their faces while they’re doing the same routine every day. In a way, these are some of the people who make this campus go ‘round.

As I’ve said before, every person de-serves to know why he or she is great. So I won’t use names, but hopefully, you’ll know who you are.

Take for instance all of the people who can be found in the academic offices on campus. It doesn’t matter which office because they’re all pretty fantastic.

I’ve been lucky enough to work in the

English department for the past three years. I basically get paid to answer the phone, make copies and do my homework. The best part about working there, however, is the people I interact with on a daily basis.

I get to have life chats with two wom-en who are more entertaining to talk to than most students I know. Not only that, but these women genuinely care about my stresses, happiness and well-being. They’ve made the office one of the places on campus I feel most com-fortable, and I plan to keep contact with them long after I graduate.

The other great thing about academic of-fices is interacting with professors outside of the classroom. News flash: They’re real people. They’re funny. And guess what? They care about you (the students) a lot.

For instance, a professor once told me that he reads my column each issue. Since then, if he particularly likes some-thing I wrote, he stops by to talk about it. Not only have I gotten to hear some fascinating and awkward elevator sto-ries, but the simple act of him doing this truly means a lot to me.

The individuals who work in the campus dining halls and Marquette Place are also

wonderful. Each dining hall has its crazy, yet caring personalities who make eating in the residence halls much more bearable.

Most of my experiences stem from the incredible woman at the bagel sta-tion who, after three and a half years, still knows my order. They’re all great, though, and they all deserve to be thanked for everything they do.

The residence halls can’t be referenced though, without talking about the custo-dians. These are the people who have al-ways, and will continue to, put up with us. They’re the ones who pick up the pieces on Monday mornings. They fix the torn-down posters, clean up the vom-it, scrub down the bathrooms and take out the empty pizza boxes and Chopstix containers left in the hallways.

And after all that, they’re still nice to us.At Marquette, we’re lucky enough to

be surrounded by amazing people every day, whether it be a best friend, professor or the person you only interact with when ordering lunch. Take notice of this, and the next time someone makes your day – no matter how big or small the action may be – make sure to let them know.brooke.goodman@marquette.edu

Frigid weather warms Midwestern character

Some don’t like the cold because it gives them the shivers. Some get drea-ry-eyed and miserable once December rolls around. Some wish they could open up windows. Some don’t like the dry knuckles and red noses. Some think winter is an inconvenience.

But instead of being a Debbie Down-er about it, look for the grey lining and don’t disrespect – cold builds character.

As a near-Clevelander turned Milwau-keean, I’ve learned to embrace the cold as a fact of life. The weather here is very similar – a little less of the snow and a little more of the cold than Cleveland, but miserable nonetheless. There’s noth-ing to complain about more than the first two weeks of face-cracking cold – but if you tough it out, good winter times will do come. A month into a Cleveland

winter, and I’m hopping into brown slush puddles and bare-handing snowballs.

I think the change of pace is good for us as human beings – after all, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and my heart is fond as heck of summertime come March. I’ll appreciate bike rides to the lake much more when they roll around, but for now, we must suffer. 10-degree bike rides to campus it is.

Midwesterners come from a tough-skinned upbringing as it is: building cars, brewing beer, churning steel – so why complain? All I’m asking is for no more of this “moving to Flor-ida” jibber jabber. If you want beach sand monotony and stale warmth all year round, go ahead and go; I’ll help book your flight. But where would you be without fall leaves? Snowmen? Pants instead of shorts?

Of course, I’m not saying if you’re from Arizona you are an emotionless drone (only if you abandon the Midwest for greener pastures). The Midwest is the perfect place for hearty characters, so try to become one. Changes of the seasons bring changes in just about everything, from moods to how we get around town. It’s a guarantee of something unexpected every day. Bundle up, embrace the cold and watch the spontaneity unfold.

Red Elephant Chocolate, a treat you’ll never forget

Any Tribune-reader with a good mem-ory and an eye for chocolate may recall my article about the Third Ward’s new-est restaurant, Red Elephant Chocolate, while it was still in the making. After two months of awaiting the succulent taste of the café’s chocolate cakes, drinks and as-sorted goodies, Red Elephant Chocolate opened to the public last week. How-ever, I got to try the treats for myself a week before at a sneak preview event.

My friend Sarah and I took the bus downtown and walked to the Third Ward café on Broadway Street. We really didn’t know what to expect, aside from the as-sumption that there would be some kind of chocolate. Even though we were the first ones to arrive, the vintage café was already buzzing with excitement as employees put the finishing touches on the samples for the guests. Once they were ready, they served us the sampling of a lifetime.

The first things we were offered were drinks, samples of Black Diamond

Chocolate coffee and hot chocolate. I am not a coffee-drinker, but Red Elephant’s coffee may change that in the future. It has just the right blend of chocolate and cof-fee – not too strong for me, and not too sweet for Sarah, an avid coffee drinker. As for the hot chocolate, it is literally the best hot chocolate I have ever consumed. Maybe it’s the real cocoa bits mixed in with the rich, hot liquid, or perhaps it’s the fluffy chocolate whipped cream on top. Whatever the reason, it is a must-have for the upcoming winter chills.

Other samples included vanilla bean ice cream with homemade hot fudge, chocolate-dipped strawberries, a dark chocolate “cake bite” and pecans covered in caramel and dark chocolate. I could go on and describe each individual treat, but honestly, I wouldn’t do any of them jus-tice. Try them for yourself. The delicacies at Red Elephant consist of chocolate as it should be eaten, with an authentic cocoa flavor not tainted by artificial sweeteners. I guarantee you will have, as the Red El-ephant motto proudly states, “a chocolate experience you’ll never forget.”

Wilson, Marquette pull away from UMBC

By Michael LoCiceromichael.locicero@marquette.edu

Redshirt junior forward Jamil Wilson led Marquette with 15 points, hitting seven of the eight field goals he tried.

Much like the Southeastern Louisiana game 13 days ago, it took longer than it should have, but Marquette eventually pulled away from Maryland-Baltimore County Monday night for a 79-46 victory.

The Golden Eagles, who im-proved to 5-1 with the win, were led by redshirt junior for-ward Jamil Wilson’s 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting.

Wilson is now 14-of-17 from the field in his last two games. He also pulled down six re-bounds in 21 minutes.

“He’s a good player,” coach Buzz Williams said. “When his talent and heart are on the same page, he’s really, really good.When he’s relying strictly on his talent, then that’s what he looks like. He just looks like a really good athlete that doesn’t play hard enough to win.

“But when his heart and his talent are on the same page, he’s really good.”

Marquette looked out of sorts at times, but was able to out-score a smaller UMBC team 44-22 in the paint and assisted on 28-of-31 made baskets.

It wasn’t until a 13-2 run that culminated in a Wilson 3-point-er with 13:31 left that Marquette earned its first double-digit

MEN’S SOCCER

MEN’S BASKETBALL

After winning a Big East cham-pionship in 2011, Marquette’s men’s soccer team appeared to be headed in the right direction.

Even though the 2012 Golden Eagles’ season ended earlier than they would have liked, in the sec-ond round of the NCAA Tourna-ment, their 16 wins marked an-other huge stride forward.

“This group has definitely had a standard and has created a stan-dard and has left an imprint that we’ll always have to follow as a footprint,” Bennett said. “It’s a huge positive footprint.”

The Golden Eagles finished 16-5-1 and were seeded as the No. 7 team overall in the NCAA Tournament. They completed a transformation into one of the country’s top squads.

Marquette’s season started in a big way against their biggest rival, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, in the Milwaukee Cup. Marquette trailed twice in the game before sophomore Sebastian Jansson scored in the 90th minute to give the team a 3-2 win.

Soccer doesn’t usually pro-vide buzzer beaters, but the

Successful run sets standard Fight the urge, Fighting Irish fans

Dear Marquette fans,There is a growing, unpleas-

ant epidemic circulating cam-pus that seems to have reached a pinnacle in the last few days.

Ever since that team from South Bend beat USC Saturday night to clinch a berth in the national championship game, my newsfeeds on Facebook and Twitter have been clogged with my very own Marquette breth-ren exultingly singing their praises for the Fighting Irish.

That sound you hear is Al Mc-Guire rolling over in his grave.

If you go to Marquette, you don’t root for Notre Dame. I realize we don’t have football here. It stinks because a lot of other schools will always have that leverage on us, but I’m asking you to reconsider your allegiances.

I know a lot of you are from the Chicago suburbs and have parents or relatives who went or are going to Notre Dame. That’s

lead of the game.Things really escalated quick-

ly and got out of hand when Marquette stretched that run to 17-2 before a layup by UMBC’s Ryan Cook cut the Golden Eagles’ lead to 47-33 with 11:49 to play.

UMBC actually held a lead as late as 16:52 in the game, before a 37-5 run over the course of 11:01 in the second half was plenty for Marquette to pull away.

“When I got subbed in, I just told Junior (Cadougan) ‘we have to take good shots, easy shots and attack that zone press they were doing,’ because we were too passive in the first half,” redshirt junior guard Jake Thomas. “We were just over-thinking it in the first half.”

Marquette actually made 10 shots in a row before sopho-more guard Derrick Wilson missed a layup with 9:04 left.

The Golden Eagles shot 53.4 percent from the field for the game, including a blister-ing 71.4 percent in the second half. The defense was domi-nant throughout, as the Re-trievers were held to just 38.5 percent in the first half and 33.3 percent overall.

Freshman forward Steve Tay-lor, Jr., scored nine points and pulled down five rebounds and looks to be getting more com-fortable out on the court.

“It’s kind of hard because I’m a freshman and I’m still learn-ing, but each day I’m getting

Redshirt freshman defender Axel Sjoberg said the Golden Eagles’ buzzer-beating win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee set the tone for a great season.

Golden Eagles started their season with one.

Bennett said it was the spring-board for the team’s season, and redshirt freshman defender Axel Sjoberg agreed.

“That was the foundation for a great season,” Sjoberg said. “I was really impressed with the team at that time, how we were able to grind through result after result and managed to keep our lead in every game.”

After that, the Golden Eagles started an unprecedented 12-0-0 run, going from unranked to No. 2 in the nation.

Bennett said throughout the

season that his team was focused on taking things one game at a time. He admitted taking it even further, saying it was practice-by-practice at one point.

“The history of us winning the week before was of no con-sequence,” Bennett said. “It was what we were doing then, and that’s taking every game as an individual game. That’s how we stayed, and the lads stayed really disciplined.”

The 10th win of that run was against then No. 2 Connecticut. In 2011, Marquette lost in Storrs,

great — it’s a great school (al-though I never will understand why people from Illinois root for a team from Indiana).

I’ve been to South Bend for a game, and the game day at-mosphere is exceptional. There are, however, just some things that cross the line as a Mar-quette student.

I will be the first to admit that I root for Wisconsin Badger football. Many of you already know that, but here’s why. My dad went to school there. So did my aunt. Heck, my grandpa still works for the team.

The difference is Wisconsin isn’t a rival to Marquette like Notre Dame is.

Wisconsin is a public school and plays in a different con-ference. It is not a Catho-lic school that plays in the same conference (albeit Notre Dame won’t be a Big East member much longer).

Despite my allegiance to the football team, I shed my rooting interest to the basketball team a long time ago.

I told my sports reporting class before Thanksgiving break that as a reporter, I don’t care if Marquette wins or los-es. Right now, I’m rooting for

Fans: Lack of football still no excuse to cheer old ND the best story. It’s obviously easier to write about teams that win, but I’m doing my best to stay objective.

But ask me on Dec. 17, the day after I graduate (God will-ing), and I’ll be back to cheer-ing for the Blue and Gold.

There are a few exceptions to being objective, however. My colleague Brooke Good-man wrote about how she has split allegiances for Marquette and Ohio State when it comes to basketball, and as such, she would be happy for whichever team won the first scheduled basketball game of the season.

Maybe it was fate that the Carrier Classic got can-celed. Mr. McGuire just didn’t want a Marquette student rooting for both teams.

Despite my football al-legiance to Bucky, make no mistake about it, folks: when Marquette plays Wisconsin,

give me the Golden Eagles 100 times out of 100.

And when Marquette hosts Notre Dame on March 2, you can bet I’ll be cheering on the Golden Eagles.

But football is different than basketball, you say. Not on the Marquette campus it’s not. As a Marquette student, there are a few things you don’t do.

The first is to go to Mar-quette Gyros or Dogg Haus at 2 a.m. Please. I’m beg-ging you. The second is to root for Notre Dame.

Indiana coach Tom Crean compared current Hoosiers guard Jordan Hulls to for-mer Marquette guard Travis Diener last week.

Their styles may be similar, but Diener had a larger impact on Marquette than Hulls has at Indiana so far in his career, es-pecially with Marquette’s 2003 Final Four run.

Diener, a point guard from Fond du Lac, helped lead the Golden Eagles to the Final Four as a sophomore. He had some big games down the stretch in the tournament, including 29 points against Holy Cross in the second round and 26 in an

overtime win against Missoui in the Sweet 16.

After Dwyane Wade and com-pany left, Diener averaged 18.8 and 19.7 points and 6.0 and 7.0 assists per game as a junior and senior, respectively.

Diener was drafted 38th over-all in the second round by the Orlando Magic. He spent two seasons in Orlando, then two with the Indiana Pacers. He was waived by Indiana and signed with Portland in March of 2010. Since the end of that NBA sea-son, he’s played with Dinamo Sassari in Italy.

Junior forward Katherine Plouffe’s efforts this weekend earned her the GoMarquette Stu-dent-Athlete of the Week award, but they were not enough to pull off a two-game sweep at the Texas A&M Thanksgiving Clas-sic. Marquette handily defeated Marshall on Friday, 67-46, and struggled against No. 24 A&M in an 84-64 loss Sunday.

Plouffe scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against Marshall and netted 18 points on Sunday. Plouffe and sophomore guard Arlesia Morse were the only double-digit scorers in the tournament finale.

Marquette shot the ball with relative mediocrity in both matches, putting up a 39 per-cent shooting clip followed by 42 percent. The 3-point shoot-ing was a struggle for the team, going just 7-for-29 from long range, good for 24 percent.

With junior point guard Gabi Minix out with a knee injury, the shooting guards have had to fill the ball handling role, which associate head coach Michelle Nason said has been

Win over Marshall, loss to Aggies put Marquette at 2-2

a challenging transition.“That’s new for them,” Nason

said. “They are pretty much tra-ditional shooting guards. I think because they had the ball in their hands a little bit more, they were not the ones being set up for their shots. We have to figure out how to put them in situations where they can help bring the ball up and still set up for their shots.”

The Golden Eagles’ record now stands at 2-2 after the split, and in both of the team’s losses this year the turnover figures have been disparaging. In the loss at Georgia Tech, Marquette turned the ball over 37 times. The team had 25 turnovers in its A&M defeat.

“They taught us a lot,” coach Terri Mitchell told GoMar-quette.com. “We are turning the ball over too much; we know that and we are going to keep fighting.”

During the Marshall game, Marquette dominated the boards, getting a 51-36 advantage on the glass. Junior guard Katie Young led all players with 12 rebounds as the Golden Eagles used their 23 team offensive rebounds to consistently get second-chance scoring opportunities. Only committing six fouls the entire game, Marquette sent the Thun-dering Herd to the foul stripe just twice, and they missed both free throws.

Texas A&M would prove to

be Marquette’s first true test of the season. The Golden Eagles kept the game close to start, ty-ing the score at 20 on a jumper by sophomore center Chelsie Butler, but the Aggies would make a 26-1 run to end the half and put Marquette in a deep hole. The Aggies would hold Marquette without a field goal for a span of 10:04, and the Golden Eagles fell behind by as many as 31 points before chop-ping the deficit to 14 with under four minutes left.

Marquette now turns its atten-tion to a meeting at South Da-kota State tomorrow evening. The 3-3 Jackrabbits are coming off an 88-62 loss to Central Michigan, but earlier this month they put together an upset win over No. 15 Nebraska. Nason notes it’s especially important for Marquette to prepare against a team that has demonstrated it can play with tougher teams. Additionally, she says the atmo-sphere will be the most hostile one yet for the Golden Eagles.

“The place will be packed, and the entire town shuts down for their games,” Nason said. “It’s an incredible environment. We can’t be limping into South Dakota State. We have to go in there ready to play because they can beat anybody at any given time. We learn from our mis-takes, then we get better and then we play the next opponent.”

Team readies for ‘Battle of the Jesuits’ in first round

Creighton at large at 28-3 and riding 16-game win streak

The Marquette women’s vol-leyball team defeated Northern Illinois in four sets (28-26, 25-15, 15-25, 25-12) Saturday and secured a berth in the NCAA tournament. The Golden Eagles will take on Creighton Friday in Minneapolis.

In knocking off the Huskies, Marquette finished out the regu-lar season with a 27-6 record and a 15-3 mark in the Big East.

in kills Saturday with 12 each. Sophomore outside hitter Lind-sey Gosh also broke into dou-ble-figures with 11 kills. Junior libero Julie Jeziorowski, Mar-quette’s new all-time leader in digs, had 27 in the four-set win.

“We go out and everybody has a different feeling when you go on the court,” Mertens said. ”You have to give every-thing you’ve got, otherwise you’re done.”

A day after their win, the team gathered in the Union Sports Annex to watch the NCAA Vol-leyball Selection Show to see where it would end up. Com-ing in, the team was confident it would receive an at-large bid.

“Going into today, we knew we were going to make it,” Mertens said. “That’s a good feeling going into selection day, knowing that you’re going to be

coming up on the board.”As it turned out, Marquette

drew Creighton, the 28-3 cham-pions out of the Missouri Val-ley Conference. The Bluejays boast a 16-game winning streak and will look to carry that mo-mentum into their 4:30 p.m. CST Friday tilt against the Golden Eagles.

“It’s nice that we get a short drive up to Minneapolis to take on teams like Creighton in the first round,” coach Bond Shy-mansky said. “They are certainly a hot team, a well-coached team, and we look forward to that little ‘Battle of the Jesuits’ in the first round.”

MVC conference player of the year Megan Bober leads the Bluejays at setter, with 9.62 as-sists, 3.00 digs and 1.9 kills per set. Taking her out of her element will be a major key

to the Golden Eagles’ chances of advancing.

“There’s more pressure, but it’s more fun, in a weird way,” Carlson said. “Our team comes and fights, and we give it all that we have.”

Shymansky said he expects the competition in Marquette’s side of the bracket to provide great experience for his players.

“We can kind of get a gauge for what is that level of play like, what’s the intensity like, and we’re sure we’ll see that out of the teams we play up in Min-neapolis,” Shymansky said.

Regardless of the competi-tion, expectations for Marquette have changed because of its recent successes. After Mar-quette won its first ever NCAA tournament game last season, it would be disappointing if the team couldn’t win at least

a game in this year’s tourna-ment, especially since the 2012 Golden Eagles have a better re-cord than their ground-breaking 2011 predecessors.

“It’s the result of a lot of hard work, and it’s being re-warded,” Carlson said. “It’s a goal that we set at the begin-ning of the season, and one that we started setting when Bond came in four years ago. It’s our team moving forward and being more successful.”

In order to move forward, Marquette needs to win at least one game in this year’s tourna-ment, and that’s exactly what Shymansky plans to do.

“We have high expectations and big goals for our program, and those opportunities will be granted when we go into the tournament,” Shymansky said.

Conn., to the Huskies 3-0 in a game to clinch the Blue Division of the Big East. Instead, Con-necticut made Marquette wait another game to finish the job.

This match was a differ-ent story. Marquette beat Con-necticut 3-2, controlling the match from the start.

Senior Andy Huftalin scored two goals that night, his fifth and sixth of the season at the time. He would go on to finish with a team-high 10, tallying 24 points overall and eventually being named second team All-Big East along with Sjoberg and junior midfielder Bryan Ciesiulka.

For Huftalin, a senior who hadn’t made an impact on the program, this was his final chance. With last year’s leading scorer, sophomore forward C. Nortey, out for the season with a knee injury, someone needed to step up and replace his 20 points, nine goals and two assists.

“Coming from last spring, coach Bennett mentioned the 20-point mark that C. Nortey left last year,” Huftalin said. “With him unfortunately being out, that

was my role and a goal I tried to live up to.”

Bennett has been building a smooth passing style at Mar-quette for the past couple years, and the Golden Eagles beat Con-necticut implementing that style. That gave the coach the most sat-isfaction from the victory.

“The crowd saw a Marquette team create chances and subdue a team that is probably one of the top four teams in the country,” Bennett said. “That was a com-ing of age for our style.”

From there, Marquette fin-ished the season only winning two of its last six games, in-cluding three losses. It played top teams like Georgetown and Notre Dame and failed to get the results necessary to retain its Blue Division crown. Marquette finished tied for third.

“Looking back, I think those were the games that if you’re going to win a championship, if you’re going to go deep into the tournament, you just need that little bit of a spark oc-casionally when things are tight,” Bennett said.

Standard: Huftalin, seniors make lasting impression on programAfter the regular season and

the Big East Tournament, when the Golden Eagles lost their semifinal match to George-town in overtime, it brought a challenge the team had been waiting a long time for: the NCAA Tournament.

The Golden Eagles didn’t per-form when Northwestern came to Valley Fields. It was the pro-gram’s second NCAA Tour-nament appearance ever, and because of the 1-0 loss, Mar-quette is still looking for its first tournament win.

After a 16-win season and with a large portion of the team returning, Bennett is excited for the future with people he knows are committed to the program.

“It’s pretty simplistic to me,” Bennett said. “What the word now is: standards. What we have to do now is perpetuate the stan-dard. We have a standard of what Marquette soccer is and should always be. Our goal is to mimic and improve the standard.”

Last year’s lead scorer, sophomore forward C. Nortey, missed the season with a knee injury but gave Senior Andy Huftalin his big chance to shine.

This is the first of a three part series previewing the 2012-13 season for the Marquette Uni-versity track and field team. Thursday: Distance Runners

Marquette track and field coach Bert Rogers is entering his fifth season with the Golden Eagles. Since September, he has helped oversee the progress and development of all the athletes not running cross-country. Ev-ery year is a transition year with seniors departing and freshmen coming in, but Rogers feels con-fident about this year’s squad.

The first meet for the throw-ers will be at the Badger Clas-sic in Madison on Jan. 12. Last year, several athletes hit the Big East qualifying mark in their first meet. This year could have more of the same with many returning athletes.

Sophomore Will Koeck is looking to continue his success-es after his first year earned him the Outstanding Freshman hon-ors for the men’s team. He set a freshman record in the weight throw and put his name among the all-time Marquette leaders.

His indoor season came to an end last year after he fouled at the Big East Championship. His sights are set on getting back to that stage and possibly scoring for Marquette.

“We’re just trying to improve off last year,” Koeck said. “Hopefully we can start off where we left off and go from there.”

Also making his name in the Marquette record books is redshirt sophomore Bret Har-din, who posted the fifth best weight throw of 17.61-meters at the Milwaukee Dual meet in January. He finished 14th overall at the Big East Indoor Championship with a throw of 15.80-meters.

There are no freshmen on the throwing squad this year, but there will be experience on the team with seniors Patrick Stuart and David Carbajal on the team.

Carbajal has had health issues in the past, but should be ready by the team’s trip to Madison, where he finished sixth last year with a 15.95-meter weight throw.

Just as competitive as Koeck and Hardin will be for the men, the women’s side has its own set of strong throwers.

Sophomore Samantha Ken-nedy is coming off a summer where she competed at the Ca-nadian Olympic Trials for a spot on the roster headed to the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Before arriving at the National Championships, Kennedy won a gold medal at the Canadian Ju-nior Track and Field Champion-ships in Winnipeg. She finished 11th in the women’s hammer throw at the Trials.

Although she has been bat-tling some minor injuries in the fall, the winter focus will main-ly be on the weight throw for indoor season.

Junior Kirsten Gaffney is poised for a strong season after placing eighth at the Big East Championship in 2012. Her best throw in the shot put came as a freshman, when she tossed the seventh best school shot put

throw. Right with her is Kath-ryn Koeck, who finished with a personal best of 15.77-meters at the Big East Championship for 16th place.

At the 2011 Marquette Track and Field awards banquet, it was Kennedy who took to the stage and flexed her muscles. Junior long jumper Carlye Schuh was the one walking away with the hardware as the female Most Valuable Performer award.

Rogers has been able to rely on Schuh from the start of her career at Marquette, when she made the school’s top 10 lists in races from 60-meters to 200-meters, along with the long and triple jump.

In practice, she has been jump-ing into the high 18-foot range on short approach long jumps. Health will be the only concern for her with many weeks of competition ahead.

“(Carlye) has been doing some stuff that we haven’t seen anybody do in practice,” Rogers said. “As long as she stays healthy, she’s going to be dynamite.”

Schuh splits time practicing as a sprinter and jumper. With less

than two weeks to go until her first meet of the year, she saw fall break as a nice opportunity to relax from the practices that started in early September.

One of her goals is to break the six-meter mark in the long-jump, which would give her the school record.

“At the end of (outdoors), I was ready to be done. It ended with a lot of frustration especial-ly with my shins,” Schuh said. “Definitely want to get back and the fact that I’m feeling well right now is a huge thing.”

Schuh is not alone in making the Marquette record books for jumping. Cheldon Brown en-ters his senior year looking to improve on his 6-foot-8.75 inch mark in the high jump, the third best in Marquette history. He continues to train with junior Michael Saindon, who’s person-al best of 6-feet-7 inches is just under two inches behind Brown.

Brown and Saindon hit Big East qualifying marks at the Blue and Gold Invitational in 2011 to start their indoor season, so do-ing the same in 2012 should not be much of a surprise.

better and better,” Taylor said. “Buzz just told me that I’m a go-get, so that means I have to go get all the boards.”

UMBC was held to 46 points, 28.2 points below its season average. Its previous low for points in a game was 70 in an 86-70 loss at Loyola (Md.) on Nov. 14.

Marquette also forced 18 turnovers while committing just 14 of its own.

UMBC, who fell to 1-4 with the loss, was led by junior forward Chase Plummer’s 12 points. Cook, the leading scorer in the America East conference entering the game at 18.5 points per game, was held to just nine

points on 4-of-13 shooting.Former Marquette recruit

Brett Roseboro did not have a stellar night for the Retrievers, scoring just two points before fouling out in 24 minutes.

Junior guard Vander Blue missed Monday night’s game due to a knee sprain suffered in the Golden Eagles’ 72-64 win over Southern California on Wednesday in the fifth place game of the Maui Invitational.

“I’ll have a better feel for his availability tomorrow,” Wil-liams said. “He shot this af-ternoon and he went through warm ups. I don’t anticipate it being a problem.”
