Students add to issues with faculty advising

Freshmen packed the Helfaer Theatre Oct. 7 during one of three special advising sessions for College of Communica-tion students. Joyce Wolburg, associate dean of the college, explained class selection rules and new changes that have been made to them.

The sessions were held three weeks before advising week, in which students will plan for classes in the spring and discuss their academic careers.

The event took place during discus-sions of ad-vising reform for the university. The university wide mean level of undergradu-ate advising satisfaction is 2.95 out of a four-point scale, accord-ing to the 2011 “Student Satis-faction with Academic Advising” survey conducted by Marquette Student Government.

Chinaza Nwaneri, a fresh-man in the College of Com-munication, said the session was beneficial in clarifying the process of choosing classes for next semester.

“I know I’m not going to freak out because they gave me a back up plan too,” Nwaneri said. “I liked how my adviser told me to take classes in my major now and get a feel for it.”

Survey ResultsMUSG’s Student Satisfac-

tion with Academic Advising survey was completed by 858 full-time undergraduate students and contained several ques-tions about the varying advis-ing systems among Marquette’s different colleges.

The survey reported that the College of Education had the lowest average level of advising satisfaction, clocking in at 2.67 out of a four-point scale. The College of Business Administra-tion was the second lowest with 2.80, followed by the College of Communication with 2.81.

The survey also reported that the lowest levels of dissatisfac-tion were claimed by freshmen, 19.6 percent of whom said they

Crosswalk safety a concern despite lightsRecent student injury follows efforts by MU to reduce accidents

The Department of Public Safety and Marquette Student Government implemented new measures this year to improve pedestrian safety on campus, in-cluding a new blinker crosswalk on Wisconsin Avenue near the Alumni Memorial Union. There are also blinker crosswalks on 15th Street, one by the Rec Cen-ter and one across from the DPS’s office on 16th Street.

Despite this measure, a student was hit by a car Sept. 26 at the blinking crosswalk on Wisconsin Avenue near the AMU and Olin Engineering Center. She had to be taken away by paramedics but was responsive.

Former university president to replace Pilarz during search

The Rev. Robert A. Wild will return to the Office of the President Wednesday, and will serve as interim president until August 2014 after the Rev. Scott Pilarz announced his resignation as university president last month.

Pilarz said in his email to campus that he will help Wild with the transition while travel-ing back and forth from Mar-quette to New Jersey to care for his ailing father.

“The university is really ex-cited to welcome back Father Wild, and we are looking forward to the continuity he will bring to our Marquette Community over the next 10 months,” said Brian Dorrington, senior director of university communications.

Wild previously served as uni-versity president from 1996 to 2011. Because of his many years of service, Dorrington said he will

Department of Public Safety Russell Shaw said students need to be aware of their surroundings when using the crosswalks.

“Having the flashing lights is certainly more effective than not having anything there,” Shaw said. “In that regard, I think (the crosswalks) are effective, and I think the drivers on the street definitely see this.”

Shaw also said that especially on Wisconsin Avenue, vehicles cannot always see students on that crosswalk.

“Students have to be responsi-ble to make sure that the vehicles still stop before they start cross-ing,” Shaw said. “It’s almost a process: You push the button and the lights flash, but still, you have to make sure that the vehicles are stopping. What I see is that stu-dents get complacent because they assume once they push the button people are going to stop, and that’s where I think we run into problems.”

Rana Altenburg, vice president of public affairs, said safety is the

most important aspect of her job“We have a long history of

working with Marquette Uni-versity Student Government on improving pedestrian safety throughout the campus and plan to continue this partnership throughout the school year,” Al-tenburg said.

Altenburg and her office helped work with MUSG and Milwau-kee Alderman Robert Bauman to put the crosswalks on campus.

Sarah Lentes, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said she is not sure what to do at these blinker crosswalks.

“I think that the blinker cross-walk is confusing because I’m never sure if the cars are going to stop or if they just have a yel-low light,” Lentes said. “I think the other crosswalks do make us more safe if used properly, though hardly anyone on cam-pus can say they’ve never darted across.”

MUSG President Sam Schul-tz said he is seeing improve-ment in the traffic control

around campus.“I think when people press the

buttons and use the crosswalk, a lot more traffic stops than used to stop,” Schultz said. “I think it is a step in the right direction in regards to pedestrian safety and slowing down some of the traffic on Wisconsin Avenue.”

Schultz said there are also more of these crosswalk blink-ers across Milwaukee. The city is part of a national study on the effectiveness of these blinker crosswalks.

The study, conducted by the Federal Highway Administra-tion’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Research Program, ex-amines the safety of pedestrians at uncontrolled crosswalks and provided suggestions as to how to increase safety. The study was done by taking a tally of the pe-destrian traffic volume at over 2,000 pedestrian crosswalks and taking data based on several dif-ferent factors, such as number of accidents and the type of cross-walk employed.

State Assembly to vote on mascot lawFormer MU Warrior speaks out against race-based logos

The Wisconsin State Assembly is expected to vote on a bill Tuesday afternoon that would make it more difficult for the state government to force school districts to remove Na-tive American mascots and logos for their sports teams.

The law would shift the burden of proof from the school districts to those filing complaints and also void rulings against certain school districts that ordered them to drop their Native American team names.

The current law, Act 250, which was adopted in 2010 when Demo-crats had control of the state gov-ernment, allows people to file com-plaints with the state Department of Public Instruction, which leads to hearings. If a hearing occurs now, the school district is forced to prove that its mascots, team names and lo-gos do not promote discrimination, stereotyping or pupil harassment.

Act 250 caused three districts to change their team names and logos. One of the school districts that would have the rulings against it voided, the Mukwonago Area School District, continues to fight against these restrictions despite the risk of daily fines of $100 to $1,000 if the school district does not comply.

Shawn McNulty, superintendent of the Mukwonago Area School District, said he thinks this system doesn’t give his school district a fair opportunity to defend itself.

“Contrary to the entire American legal system, Act 250 established a process where schools are pre-sumed to be guilty and must go to Madison to demonstrate that they are innocent,” McNulty said in an email. “Yet when we attempted to introduce evidence to prove our in-nocence at the hearing, we were not allowed to do so by the Department of Public Information official that heard our case.”

McNulty said his school district spent $20,000 on the August 2010 case that he said the district “never had a chance of winning.” McNulty said this predicament is hard to ex-plain to members of the district.

“We have a hard time explain-ing to our students and residents the fairness of a law that eliminates our use of the Indian nickname and logo, but other high schools in our own county and throughout the state are allowed to continue their use,” McNulty said.

The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Stephen Nass (R–White-water), Rep. Dave Craig (R-Big Bend) and Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin), would require com-plaints to prove discrimination. It would also shift the hearings from being conducted by the Depart-ment of Public Instruction to the Department of Administration.

The proposal would also allow schools to avoid complaints if there is an agreement in place with a his-torical tribe of Wisconsin, permit-ting the school to use the Native-American name or logo.

Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes, Schlitz Park, 10 a.m.

Mark Denning, a Native Ameri-can and Marquette alumnus, played the Marquette Warrior mascot from 1980 to 1983. Denning said he dealt with boos and racial slurs by fans who preferred the previ-ous mascot, “Willie Wampum,” which featured a Native American head mask and ax.

“I had to represent 15,000 stu-dents and 500 tribes,” Denning said during a 2004 panel on the possibil-ity of changing Marquette’s mascot back to Warriors. “It was a difficult time for me.”

Denning also testified against the newly proposed law earlier this month, claiming Native-Amer-ican mascots are disrespectful to his culture.

“Having race-based mascots and logos is wrong,” he said in Madison Oct. 3.

McNulty disagreed about the

level of respect and said Muk-wonago, which means “Home of the Bear,” in Potowatomi, uses the Native-American nickname with dignity.

“We work with our students to ensure that students understand the history, culture and sovereignty of the American Indians in our area,” McNulty said. “We’re hoping that this bill will lay the groundwork for future discussions between the District and the tribes that will im-prove our education efforts and al-low us to keep this important piece of Mukwonago history.”

The issue of Native American mascots and logos is also receiv-ing national attention from recent claims that the NFL’s Washington Redskins’ name and logo are of-fensive to Native Americans. Red-skins’ owner Dan Snyder stated he is opposed to changing the name.

New honor code could formalize academic honestyChanges suggested after committee finds current policy ‘vague’

The Marquette Academic Integrity Steering Committee, a joint subcom-mittee of the Board of Undergradu-ate Studies and the Board of Gradu-ate Studies, began work to establish a formal honor system for all universi-ty students. The subcommittee hopes to establish a formal honor code and honor council with “significant stu-dent participation” to review cases of academic dishonesty.

“I think that the meaning and importance of academic integrity could hold a more central place in the Marquette community,” said Peter Toumanoff, professor of eco-

corporate secretary, worked with Wild for more than 13 years.

“He is energetic and enthusi-astic about leading Marquette in the year ahead,” Frieder said. “My colleagues and I look for-ward to working with him again. Father Wild is a kind, thoughtful and caring leader.”

Frieder’s colleagues at the presidential office say the univer-sity is in good and capable hands under Wild’s leadership due to

his many years of experience and knowledge of the university.

“I am very excited to have a change and new perspective leading Marquette. Hopefully ev-eryone handles the change well,” said Tessa Guido, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences.

Guido said she hopes Wild will be accessible to students, for in-stance by walking around cam-pus and talking with students.

Julia Cullinan, sophomore

in the College of Engineer-ing, said she is optimistic about the transition.

“Each president we have had at the university has added their perspectives and view and what they think is best for the univer-sity,” Cullinan said. “All of these things have added up to make Marquette as great as it can be. I am looking forward to what Wild will add to Marquette during his time as interim.”

nomics and chair of the Academic Integrity Steering Committee. “Our initiative is aimed at every mem-ber of the university, including stu-dents, faculty and administration. An honor code is one component of a multi-pronged effort to raise the concept of academic integrity as an important part of personal integrity, which is and should be considered cura personalis.”

The Academic Integrity Steering Committee established several task forces to address the issues within academic integrity.

The collective group of stu-dents working on the honor code and policies and procedures task groups is called the Academic In-tegrity Work Group, according to Alex Lahr, a senior in the College of Communication, the Vice Presi-dent of Marquette Student Gov-ernment Communication and a member of the group. They began meeting last semester and reviewed ac-

ademic honor policies from multiple sources, including Marquette, the In-ternational Center for Academic In-tegrity and the Georgetown Univer-sity Undergraduate Honor Council.

Marquette’s academic honesty policy addresses the issue of cheat-ing by students and defines the responsibilities of students and fac-ulty to combat academic dishonesty. However, a 2011 Academic Integ-rity Subcommittee review found that “The current academic honesty policy at Marquette is insufficient to accomplish the aims and purposes envisioned” by the subcommittee.

“The vagueness of the policy itself really doesn’t state what’s not accepted, what is accepted and doesn’t really set a whole lot of guidelines for how students should behave,” Lahr said.

One model the work group looked at, sponsored by the International Center for Academic Integrity, was produced by Gary Pavela, the di-

rector for judicial programs at the University of Maryland at College Park. The Pavela model puts forth strict definitions of what consti-tutes academic dishonesty. It re-quires a signed honor statement from each student. It also provides for an honor council to review alleged academic dishonesty.

The Georgetown Undergraduate Honor Council’s model is another that the work group examined in writing its policy. The Georgetown model follows Pavela’s in that it clearly defines what standard of behavior is expected from its stu-dents. The Georgetown policy also provides for an honor council made up of students and faculty members, which adjudicates on all cases of al-leged undergraduate academic dis-honesty. Georgetown students must also sign an honor pledge.

In a May Academic Integrity Steering Committee report, the work group said they would like to

adopt a similar honor code, which combines clearly defined stan-dards of behavior with a written or signed pledge and a student-based honor council to review all cases of academic dishonesty.

Lahr said the Task Force on Hon-or Codes has split into two smaller task forces. One, which Lahr is a part of, is responsible for writing the honor code and pledge, while the other is responsible for writing the policies and procedures. Both task forces are meeting independently for the time being.

The work group hopes to have a first draft of each completed by Thanksgiving. After the holiday break, both the code and the policies will go to the Division of Student Af-fairs to be reviewed. The group will reconvene in the beginning of the spring semester to go over the fin-ished product once again. The group hopes to have the actual policies in place by fall 2014.

were either “dissatisfied” or “very dissatisfied” with their ad-vising experiences. Seniors, on the other hand, had the highest levels of advising dissatisfaction with 28.6 percent indicating they were “dissatisfied” or “very dis-satisfied.”

Zachary Baer, a junior in the College of Business Ad-ministration, is among those who are dissatisfied with advising.

“You have to do it all on your own, oth-erwise you really will get nothing out of the meetings,” Baer said. “If you go in there expecting them to provide something for you, it’s not going to do much for you.”

Sam Schultz, MUSG president and senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, was an active advo-cate for academic ad-vising reform while running in the 2012 MUSG presidential race.

“For every great adviser, there’s one who doesn’t view it as part of their job as faculty, which we as students think it is, and the university seems to tell them it is,” Schultz said. “I think students, if they’re not happy with their adviser, can always re-quest a change.”

Advising systems at other colleges

The majority of Marquette’s academic advising is conducted by professors who advise in conjunction with their teach-ing duties. Advising reform decisions are mainly handled by deans. Each college con-ducts advising differently de-pending on what the academic program entails.

A more in-depth look at how advising works in each under-graduate college’s advising sys-tem is presented in the chart at the bottom of the page.

Other Jesuit universities differ significantly from Marquette in terms of advising procedures.

For example, DePaul Univer-sity assigns each of its students a faculty adviser in their major department. In addition, each of its colleges has a staff of full-time, professional advisers that students can make appointments with when needed.

At Loyola University in Chicago, all undergraduate

freshmen are advised by their first-year seminar instructor dur-ing their initial semester. Then for the rest of the first and second year, each student is assigned a faculty adviser who “are expert instructors and advisers” in each major, according to the univer-sity’s website. Students are re-assigned an academic adviser for their last two undergraduate

years who works as a complement to the fac-ulty advisers.

The University of Scranton in Pennsylva-nia is a smaller Jesuit school with about 4,000 undergrad students and three undergraduate colleges. The freshmen advisers are assigned staff members from the College of Arts & Sci-ences Advising Center. Students receive a fac-ulty adviser in the de-partment of their major for their last years of undergraduate studies.

Richard Holz, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, said he was interested to hear how other universities advise their students. He said he’s always looking to improve advising in his college.

“I discuss advising with stu-dents anytime I interact with them during college and univer-sity events,” Holz said. “In the spring I would like to hold, if possible, a town hall style meet-ing with students to hear their concerns around advising.”

The possibility of professional advising at MUAs advising reform is wel-

comed throughout the university, the idea of hiring more profes-sional advisers has been advo-cated as an alternative to faculty advisers, especially in the Col-lege of Arts & Sciences.

The college already has six pro-fessional advisers, who advise first and second year students. How-ever, every other college requires its professors to perform most of the advising duties.

Shannon McCormick, a fresh-man in the College of Commu-nication, is one of many students who expressed interest in having more access to professional, full-time advisers.

“I think (more profession-al advisers) would be helpful because all of their attention would be on (advising),” Mc-Cormick said. “I think advising’s

really important and shouldn’t be put by the wayside.”

Schultz said he thinks more professional advisers could be used to handle the scheduling as-pects of advising.

“Every student would have this professional adviser who is responsible for their scheduling and then they’d have a faculty mentor who is responsible for ad-vice in regards to the major and career goals,” Schultz said.

Tina McNamara, director of undergraduate advising in the College of Education, is a profes-sional adviser who mainly works with freshmen, transfer and study abroad students, but helps some sophomores as well. While she did not say that more profession-als will be included in the Col-lege of Education, she said the college is starting to expand its advising training.

“We just added two more fac-ulty advisers this semester,” Mc-Namara said in an email. “We will also have another staff per-son taking on some advising re-sponsibilities in the spring.”

Some students see faculty ad-visers as advantageous since pro-fessors are already professionals in their respective fields.

“Faculty are great mentors in their field, they know their own field,” Schultz said. “I would never want professional ad-visers to completely take over the role of faculty.”

Advising reform in the College of Nursing

The College of Nursing already began advising reform, as it es-tablished a new advising system this fall.

The new system created the Academic Services Center, con-sisting of an academic advising coordinator and academic ad-viser and clinical placement co-ordinator. The individuals occu-pying those roles are collectively responsible for advising and developing academic program plans for freshmen, sophomores, students studying abroad, mem-bers in the ROTC and “off-track” nursing students.

The College of Nursing’s ad-vising system previously con-sisted of one academic advising coordinator assisting freshmen and students in special tracks, and faculty advisers for sopho-mores, juniors and seniors. The change was prompted by an in-crease in enrollment, feedback from an alumni survey and an on-going transition to the college’s

undergraduate curriculum.Kerry Goepfret, dean of the

College of Nursing, said no new staff members were hired for the Academic Services Center.

“The college critically re-viewed the duties and responsi-bilities of all of the college (of nursing) staff and restructured to best meet the needs of our under-graduate students,” she said.

The role of studentsThe quality of advising does

not depend solely on faculty, however. Students also have re-sponsibilities in the advising pro-cess, especially attending advis-ing sessions.

“I’ve talked to faculty and they complain about students not go-ing to their assigned advising sessions,” Schultz said.

In addition, it’s important for students to bring the correct ad-vising materials with them. The communication between stu-dents and faculty, primarily done through email, about which ad-vising materials are necessary, is handled differently depending on the college.

Schultz said he has seen students complain to their friends about bad advising ex-periences, but he challenges students to be active and chan-

nel those complaints in a more helpful direction.

“When students only complain to their friends, the adviser is never getting feedback saying they’re a bad adviser so they’re just going to continue doing the same thing,” Schultz said.

Anthony Frigo, a junior in the College of Business Administra-tion, said students ought to ac-tively seek academic help from many faculty members.

“My adviser is Michael Dole who is a great resource if I have any questions and so are all my teachers,” Frigo said. “In general, it is always good to obtain several perspectives when making a de-cision and different teachers may offer different advice.”

MUSG holds an open forum for students every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Alumni Memo-rial Union in Room 227, and Schultz said he would love to see more students attend.

“(MUSG) would love to hear about issues students are hav-ing with advising,” he said. “We’re always looking for questions, complaints, con-cerns with advising and we have committees set up that’ll do their best to address those concerns.”

Kelly Korek, a junior in the College of Education, started off to class like any other Monday. It was a picturesque October scene, but she couldn’t help but feel she was being watched, until she turned and saw her worst fear – a zombie on the hunt.

Korek took part in what is quickly becoming a Marquette legend, “Humans vs. Zombies,” the ultimate game of tag set to start its third annual apoca-lypse next week. Interested par-ticipants should attend the final mandatory information session, Tuesday at 8 p.m.

The past three years have shown the game to be part Nerf war, part tag and part “World War Z.”It begins the same way every time. All participants start as human except for Patient Zero - the original zombie. He or she will then try to tag as many hu-mans as possible to add numbers to the ranks of undead, identified by bandanas worn around their heads rather than on the body like their living counterparts.

Humans are able to defend themselves by shooting with Nerf guns or throwing socks at their attackers. They also need to survive at least three nightly “missions,” special human-zom-bie showdowns, to keep their human status.Though humans cannot be tagged inside build-ings or on Wisconsin Avenue, the rest of the campus is free game, usually ending in sprint-ing and commotion between classes as wild, bandanaed clans

chase dwindling numbers of Nerf-wielding passersby.

As the game progresses and the number of zombies increases exponentially, it becomes in-creasingly tricky to stay human. Fortunately, survivors of past games have pooled their expe-rience and research to create a survival guide, which might help you to end the week alive.

Constantly staying aware of your surroundings and scouting the campus for threats is critical to surviving the zombie apoca-lypse. Korek learned this the hard way last year. Armed with balled-up socks and a loaded Nerf gun, she fell victim to Pa-tient Zero on the first day of the game. She was a human for just 15 minutes.

“I (was) walking to Schro-eder, so I had to actually go into the quad because you can’t get tagged on the street,” she said. “Apparently the Patient Zero de-cided that Joan of Arc was gonna be a good place for him to chill out last year because all of a sud-den, I hear these really fast foot-steps behind me. Before I know

it, I’m getting tagged and he’s yelling, ‘I got you!’ as he’s then shooting down the way. I was probably one of the first 10 zom-bies because the game started at maybe 7:30 and on my way to my 8 a.m., I was a zombie.”

On the surface, Humans vs. Zombies may be just a game of tag, but it’s also a game of wits. The game tests your ability to outsmart your opponents and tests your stealth capabilities. It involves knowing the campus in-side and out to plan for the best escape route between classes.

“(Humans vs. Zombies) is also a really great way to learn more about the campus,” said Jenny Vondrashek, a junior in the College of Nursing. “Use back roads, back paths and back doors. For example, if you’re go-ing to Lalumiere, instead of try-ing to go across campus through the middle of Central Mall, use the back roads and back doors into (buildings). Not only does it give you short amount of dis-tance to try to sprint to the door, but generally people don’t have that much time to try to get peo-ple that are going to class back ways.”

Nerf guns are more than just toys for little kids. When prop-erly used, they become zombie-stunning machines. Taylor Hup-pert, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, credits her 12-round, semi-automatic Nerf gun (the highest in Nerf-centric technology) for staying human through almost the entire game.

“I bought (my Nerf gun) es-pecially for HvZ. My favorite memory is, I had a dress on one day and I had to get to class and there were zombies in bewteen the sidewalk and Lalumiere. I remember running in a sun dress and getting all the zombies in a dress. I felt so badass.”

When ammunition fails, your legs become your next best weapon, so keep working that cardio at the Rec Center. For Francis Landoy, a junior in the College of Health Sciences, staying in shape saved him from zombie attacks on several occa-sions last year.

“One crazy experience I had was during a mission,” Landoy said. “My group somehow made it to the side by the library and had to run back to Lalumiere through Central Mall. I remem-ber screaming, ‘Run!’ and we all just bolted through the middle of the field and zombies came from the sides. We all just ran and people were tripping and falling, but we all made it somehow.”

Who says teachers don’t ap-preciate the joy of friendly apoc-alyptic competition? If you ask them to accommodate your fear of being tagged, they may just cooperate, as Huppert and a fel-low human found out last year.

“We were in English class and we talked to our professor be-fore class and said, ‘Okay, we’re playing Humans vs. Zombies. Can we leave class like ten min-utes early?’ She said, ‘Yes, that’s so cool. Of course.’ So we left class 10 minutes early and high-tailed it out to Wisconsin Avenue and walked all the way around to the back of Lalumiere. The professor was super into it, like, “Yeah, leave class ten minutes early so you don’t get caught by the zombies!”

If all else fails and a zombie tags you, embrace your new un-dead identity. You may not be able to join the end of the week celebration for surviving hu-mans, but you get to have fun all throughout the week by chasing people and scaring them.

“I honestly wanna be a zombie (this year) anyways because it was way more fun, just watch-ing everyone,” Korek said. “You don’t have to worry. (If you are a) human walking from class to class, you are constantly ter-rified. But as a zombie you can just walk wherever and be like, “Yeah, I’m just going to be here because I can and I’m not going to get killed.”

Everything you need to stay alive in MU’s apocalypse gameBy Claire Nowakclaire.nowak@marquette.edu

Best of luck on your mission. Remember, the fate of Marquette survival is in your hands. Keep sharp and beware the orange bandana.

Is it time to cut the cord on cable television?

Hanks steers ‘Captain Phillips’ to thrilling depthsGreengrass follows up ‘United 93’ with more real-life heroism

My roommates and I split a cable bill of $68.50 a month. That puts us among roughly 90 percent of American house-holds that continue to pay for this kind of TV. And for what?

As opposed to the the shows I seek out online, my live TV diet is mostly made up of fiascoes, reruns and the rare I’m genu-inely looking to watch.

This weekend was a perfect demonstration of the kind of shows I usually end up watch-ing on live TV when some friends and I tuned in to an epi-sode of the ridiculous, yet glori-ous “Untold Stories of the ER.”

On the show, doctors relive outrageous real-life nights working in hospital emergency rooms. The make up is amateur, the writing is horrendous, and the acting (done by the doctors themselves) makes Nic Cage look like Daniel Day Lewis.

You may remember the real Captain Phillips from the news in 2009: the traumatic coverage of his cargo ship being hijacked on the high seas, the imminent threat of Somali pirates and the astonishing Navy SEAL mis-sion. The movie version of the story manages to capture the real thrill, but also delves a bit deeper into the story’s depths.

For British director Paul Greengrass, “Captain Phillips” is a move away from directo-rial work on two action-filled Bourne sequels. This look at recent history is more of a re-turn to his film “United 93,” which follows another hijack-ing aboard one of the planes overtaken on 9/11.

Greengrass took a few bold moves in “Captain Phillips,” by deciding to shoot the film aboard an actual boat out at sea rather than the typical sound stage used in the vast majority

By Brian Keoghbrian.keogh@marquette.edu

of movies. The setting is felt, giving the action a layer of au-thenticity, further emphasized through Greengrass’ up close, “shaky-cam” style.

In “Captain Phillips,” Tom Hanks plays the titular hero and demonstrates why he’s won multiple Oscars and deserves yet another nomination.

Captain of a cargo ship head-ed from Oman to Kenya, Hanks portrays Phillips as a gruff, thoughtful and capable leader. When the hijacking happens, the captain does everything to keep the pirates at bay, but the assailants are determined and

manage to take control and re-name Hanks’ character “Irish.”

As Phillips struggles to sur-vive while trapped in a confined lifeboat with the pirates, the film pivots to focus on his rela-tionship with the pirate leader, Muse, played by Barkhad Abdi.

The Somali actors who por-tray the pirates turn in great performances in their big screen debuts. They look nothing like the typical Hollywood actors who might have been chosen for the role, and Abdi stands out as he struggles to keep his three men in line with negotiation and brutality.

The plot methodically builds in the style of “Zero Dark Thir-ty,” from emerging threat to a take down by the military, af-firming the United States’ com-mitment to protect its citizens through force.

As in “Zero Dark Thirty,” the picture builds up to the show-down between the SEAL team and foreign threats. It’s suf-ficient to say “Captain Phil-lips” leaves no doubt about the SEALS’ deadly precision.

But despite this definitive end, there is more complex-ity to the morality of the film. The viewer’s sympathies are altered when a contrast forms between the American and

Somalian characters.Here, Greengrass tries to

communicate a message about the financial crisis, in full swing at the time of the incident in 2009, and the difference be-tween the developed and devel-oping world where millions of tons of cargo sail by impover-ished countries.

But the over-emphasis of global inequality might be where “Captain Phillips” enters rough waters.

The opening scene of “Cap-tain Phillips” is clumsy, generic and poorly done in a movie that is otherwise exceptional. On the way to the airport, Phillips wor-ries over the changing world and difficulty his and his wife’s children will face. It manages to

be a set piece for Greengrass’s point, but it’s a sloppy one. It mostly serves to show how Hanks’ character cares about his family, through an awkward start nonetheless.

Thematically, the film drives home Greengrass’ point about the gaps in opportunity between the first and third world. This tension is best explored through Muse who, had he grown up in a country with health and edu-cation systems, would likely prove a success with his ambi-tion. The point is made clear, when Muse is asked if there is a different opportunity for him in Somalia than being a pirate and he replies, “Maybe in America, Irish. Maybe in America.”

Shoe-face from ‘Untold Stories of the ER’ is the best and worst of trash TV.

Yet my friends and I literally screamed with fear, disgust and delight and are still entertained days later. The show is campy, salacious and totally shameless, like much of live TV today.

On this episode, a belligerent, scantily-clad stripper entered the fake-hospital with a stiletto wedged into her face. Literally, shoe inserted in face.

The intoxicated woman con-tinued to hit the ER staff as the spike hung off her cheek like no big deal. Apparently, a business associate named Crystal was responsible for the crime in a brawl over a “client”.

We shouted, we laughed, we dubbed her “shoe face.” We ignored the confines of “good taste” and praised the show for the hot mess it was.

Beyond this kind of terrible yet, wickedly entertaining ran-dom find— with similar gems like “Sharknado” and the strang-est of Lifetime movies cropping up once in a while— I mostly take advantage of my cable subscription to watch episodes of “Mad Men,” “Louie,” “Ru-Paul’s Drag Race” (the greatest of all reality television), the oc-casional Turner Classic Movie and reruns of “Shawshank Re-demption” or “The Wizard of Oz” on Sunday afternoons.

But those opportunities are few and far between. Most of

the time I’d rather stream shows online, usually of better quality than what you’ll find at any giv-en time on live TV. My Netflix subscription offers a near end-less amount of entertainment for just $10 a month, and if I am looking for something more recent, it’s easy to track down a show offered on a channel’s website or through iTunes.

So why do I, and so many other people, still put up with cable costs? Are the random joys of easy access to trash TV like “Untold Stories” and occa-sional favorites worth the price or are the cable companies just pulling a Crystal, leaving us all shoe-faced?

It turns out many, if not most, of my friends around Marquette stopped paying for cable once they got out of the dorms. So far about three to five million Americans have “cut the cord.” Though this is a relatively small portion of subscribers, even more common are gen Z and Y-ers that just never get cable to begin with.

This number will likely con-tinue to rise as cable increase at a surprising rate. Cable sub-scriptions—and by cable I’m mean the paid programming not the mode of delivery—have more than doubled in price over the last decade, well above the level of inflation.

As I recently learned in a ter-rific episode of NPR’s “Planet Money,” my cable subscription pays $71 to Disney for ESPN, the most expensive channel, every year – even if I never turn it on once—a more than likely possibility.

Just as cable companies often give their customers little bar-gaining room by monopolizing markets and only offering se-lect packages, the channels play

chicken with cable providers by threatening to pull content, like the current stand-off between Time Warner Cable and CBS.

When it all comes together, rough estimates show that you can pay a lifetime cost between $634,000 and $4.2 million for cable and the current system threatens to make these costs considerably more.

As much as I love the ridicu-lous nights I’ve had laughing at random dredges of trashy cable or planning my schedule around the great shows I love to watch live, I’ve come to the point when it’s not be worth

it anymore.As I look to graduation, I

think I’ll leave cable behind along with my dingier furniture. Instead I will watch the shows I love by purchasing individual episodes or streaming online or I might even, you know, read a book.

University transparency at all-time low after resignations

The resignation of Executive Vice President Mary DiStanislao marks yet another abdication of a top tier univer-sity administrator.

DiStanislao’s resignation was an-nounced in the University News Briefs sent out Thursday. The resignation of one of the university’s top executives following the Rev. Scott Pilarz’s resig-nation did not merit being the first item listed in the news brief and was conve-niently placed second to graduation ap-plications becoming available online.

Yet another resignation was conve-niently slid into the third paragraph of the brief about DiStansilao.

“Tom MacKinnon, Father Pilarz’s chief of staff, also left the university last week,” the brief announced. No more in-formation was given.

Announcing the resignation of one university official within a brief about another’s marks a new low for university transparency.

Furthermore, DiStanislao left the same day that students were notified of her resignation, giving no advance notice that yet another senior official resigned.

The method the university used to an-nounce these resignations to the student body has been uncouth and underhanded to say the least.

From the first, unsigned email about Pilarz to DiStanislao’s resignation last week, the administration has been tact-less in the manner it has gone about informing students of resignations, per-haps lacking the necessary leadership to do so correctly.

As the university tried to navigate the rough waters of high-up administra-tors’ resignations, it resorted to insulting

the Marquette tribuneEditorial Board:

students’ intelligence by trying to an-nounce them with as little publicity as possible.

For instance, the announcement about Pilarz’s resignation came at 6:20 p.m. on a Friday. Releasing important news on a Friday evening is something colloqui-ally known as “throwing out the trash,” a euphemism that essentially means releasing all of an organizations “bad” news at the end of the week. By doing this, organizations hope the information will likely be lost in the weekend news cycle and in the mind of the average person. The university’s apparent reli-ance on releasing resignations under the radar speaks for itself when discussing university transparency.

The position of executive vice presi-dent, one that was discontinued before Pilarz hired DiStanislao to take the posi-tion, is in charge of overseeing univer-sity administration and staff, student af-fairs and strategic planning.

DiStanislao’s resignation marks yet another Pilarz appointee who has re-signed following his leaving. Students now wonder how many other adminis-trators will leave in Pilarz’s wake and whether the administration is suffering from a collective brain drain.

DiStanislao’s resignation now means the university’s top three positions — president, provost and executive vice president — are not filled by permanent administrators, leaving Marquette with-out substantial leadership.

Since the announcement of Pilarz’s resignation, the university has been unclear at best, and downright opaque all too often.

As the university searches for a new administration, it should strive to mir-ror the transparency valued during Pi-larz’s tenure. So far, the only transpar-ency the administration has shown since the president’s resignation is the fact there isn’t any.

Mascot bill would fix some problems, create others

Marquette students are no strangers to the debate over our retired Warrior mascot. Alums and students alike hope for a day when we will leave the Golden Eagle behind and return to the mighty Warrior. Despite a failed effort to re-implement the Warrior mascot in 2004, there is no sign of the Warrior’s revival in Marquette’s future.

Nationwide, the topic of stereotypical mascots is a heated one, particularly re-garding Native Americans. Last week, a poster attempting to put the racial ste-reotypes of these mascots into perspec-tive resurfaced on several news web-sites. The poster presents the Cleveland Indians’ mascot alongside two fictional mascots, the “New York Jews” and the “San Francisco Chinamen,” with simi-larly caricatured features. Though origi-nally published in 2001, the poster’s message still rings true in 2013: The depiction of Native Americans for many sports teams can be incredibly offensive and stereotypical.

Countless high schools and universi-ties changed their mascots in response to criticism of their discriminative nature.

The Wisconsin Assembly is consid-ering a Republican-proposed bill that would change the way the state responds to accusations of discriminatory school mascots. Currently, Wisconsin law leaves the school district responsible for proving its mascot to be non-discrimi-natory when an individual claims it as such. The new law would require 10 percent of the district population to sup-port an accusation for the state to take action against a school district. It would place the responsibility of proof on the

accuser. Additionally, the Department of Administration would take over the role of conducting meetings from the state superintendent. Though I support the burden of proof lying on the accuser, the the remainder of this legislation seems to be a step back, not forward.

The idea that 10 percent of a district must agree that a mascot is offensive for a claim to be taken seriously is troublesome. If in a district of 20,000 residents only 1,900 find something of-fensive, that doesn’t make it OK. There are still 1,900 people who are personally troubled by the logo meant to represent their area.

Even if only one person takes issue with a mascot, the responsibility of hav-ing to explain why he or she is offended or feels discriminated against makes his or her claim more reliable. Placing the burden of proof on the accuser would help to prevent random accusations. The time commitment of having to clarify why he or she found the mascot to be offensive would demonstrate that the ac-cuser truly is offended by the mascot.

The proposed change of control over the hearings from the superintendent to the Department of Administration is also concerning. The issue of partisanship within the Department of Administration versus supposed non-partisanship from the superintendent is less worrisome than the ability of these respective par-ties to judge the validity of these claims. Instead, an evaluation committee that in-cluded representatives from Wisconsin’s Native American communities would be vital to assess the appropriateness of these mascots as well as the concerns proposed by district citizens.

Marquette may have done away with the Warrior mascot, but other institutions have not. The Wisconsin state legislature must implement an effective process so those who do take offense from these mascots have a clear way to have their concerns addressed.

GOT OPINIONS?

I don’t think I realized how saddened I was about Father Pilarz’s resignation until I was sitting in my theology class a few days after the fact and realized I wasn’t the only one.

I met Father Pilarz a month or two af-ter the start of my freshman year – his freshman year too, I guess. He knew one of the guys on my floor and was anxious to get to know students. He took us out to dinner downtown.

That first impression was a lasting

Remembering Pilarz as more than a president

one. He’s the kind of man that makes you instantly feel at ease, as if you have just been admitted to some exclusive club that, it turns out, isn’t really exclu-sive at all.

He asked us about Marquette and was genuinely interested in our thoughts on mundane subjects such as the food at the dining halls, visiting hours in the dorms, the $5 charge for tennis courts at the Rec Center and the other woes of a young freshman on campus.

When he spoke, I held on to each word, knowing he had a wisdom and wit that was rare, even at such a university as Marquette. And yet, despite this, Father Pilarz listened. When I spoke, he made me feel as if there was nothing quite so important as the words I was speaking that very moment. Then, he challenged me. He’d ask why I thought that and how I came to that specific conclusion. On more than one occasion, I realized I had no idea.

Another thing I couldn’t help but no-tice was his deep spirituality and love of life. He challenged me, multiple times, to ponder what I wanted to do with my life and how God was involved. Pilarz showed me that God doesn’t have to be kept within the confines of a church but is subtly present all the time. God could even be fun.

Perhaps this wonder of life can best be expressed through his love of poetry. In his first year as president, Father Pilarz sent out an email during poetry month with the poem “Mysteries, Yes” by Mary Oliver. The closing stanza could not be any more indicative of how I have come to view Father Pilarz as a man:

“Let me keep company always with those who say / ‘Look!’ and laugh in as-tonishment, / and bow their heads.”

I only met Father Pilarz perhaps four or five times, and none of them were within the past year. Yet, I will forever cherish each and every time I stood in

his presence because they all stand out as important moments in my life. Mo-ments where I truly stopped and thought about the man I am today and the man I want to be tomorrow.

I trust Father Pilarz, even if I disagree with the way his resignation occurred. I understand that however hard and strange it must be for all of us as stu-dents, it cannot compare to what he must be going through. While I cannot speak to his actions or abilities as president, for I am woefully unqualified to do so, I will say this — Marquette has lost one of the most fascinating and intelligent men I have ever had the privilege of meeting in my short 20 years. So, Father Pilarz, I wish you all the best as we part ways, and I hope that our paths cross again soon. God bless.

Inaugural address unpredictable and hilarious as always

Marquette coach Buzz Wil-liams began his first press con-ference of the 2013-14 season the way he does many things– unconventionally.

“I never know what to say to you guys, you already know every-thing,” Williams told Milwaukee media Friday. “So I’ll just open it up to any questions because I know whatever I say in the first four min-utes, you guys just stare at me and you already have your angle for your story. I don’t want to be inef-ficient with that time.”

The first question he received was a familiar one, regarding how the Golden Eagles would respond to losing Vander Blue to the NBA Draft and Junior Cadougan and Trent Lockett to graduation.

“It is always the same first ques-tion at media day here,” Williams said. “You lost so much, who’s going to replace? I don’t know if that’s typical or atypical. Is it going to be one or two guys? I don’t think so. All of our guys, old, returning and new, are going to have to find a way to contribute.”

By Trey Killianrobert.killian@marquette.edu

Williams said he’s been “really bad” answering questions related to the realignment of the Big East over the last three years, but re-counted a recent answer that best describes his position.

“For basketball only institu-tions, we can only participate in a small percentage of the change,” he said. “And considering (that), I think we’re in the best position we can be in. For all of the (in-stitutions that remained with and joined the Big East) it’s paramount that their men’s basketball program is successful.

“When you win, regardless of the league, regardless of the day and regardless of the locale you’re putting yourself in the best posi-tion you can be in. The best anti-dote for the league change is for Marquette to win.”

While Marquette is expected by many to finish in the upper ech-elon of the new Big East, Williams said he doesn’t see such predic-tions as impactful on his team’s performance. Instead, he “wakes up every morning like we’re in last place.”

“Ninety-nine percent of the peo-ple who predict about Marquette have never been to the Bradley Center,” Williams said. “They just say ‘Buzz is a character and the team plays real hard, and then they’ve had a lot of success in the NCAA tournament. Let’s just pick them in the top three.’ You’ve got better odds in Vegas. I could teach

you more about dice than that in five minutes.”

As for the identity of this sea-son’s Golden Eagles, Williams hopes to get back to a fast-paced style of play, after describing last season’s team as a “grind-it-out, beat-you-up” squad that had to ensure every shot it took was a quality one.

“At a coaching clinic, I don’t want to coach like that,” Williams said. “I think that fast beats big when fast is fast. I think we’re probably a lit-tle bit back towards where we can play a little faster. I don’t know that for sure. I hope that by finals week, I’ll have a better feel for what our identity is.”

In regards to improved recruiting due to the team’s recent success, Williams stressed the importance of “remembering the formula” and pursuing “OKG’s (our kind of guys)” during the recruiting process. Williams also mentioned the thin lines between being bad, good and great and that the truly great coach-es, players and teams stand the test of time.

“There are more one-and-done songs that all of us know than there are albums that we remember,” Williams said. “We can’t name who sang that song we remem-ber, because it was just one song. I think it’s the same thing with the team, but I think more importantly, it’s the same thing with a program.”

King, Barnwell make Monday mornings easier

In my second week at Mar-quette a little more than two years ago, Sports Illustrated senior NFL writer Peter King came to campus.

At that time, I didn’t know much about King besides oc-casionally seeing him on NBC Sports Network and my dad telling me he was a really good writer. King was personal, relat-able and at times hilarious. I did not, at the time, fully appreci-ate the magnitude of Monday Morning Quarterback.

I started reading the MMQB (as it’s known on his new all-football mega-site) last year and now read it every week. For those who don’t know, King writes a column on everything from the week that was in pro football. Usually, it runs about 7,000 words long. For context, that’s roughly a 25-page essay. Most of the time, his columns are so informative and enter-taining I find myself wanting them to go even longer.

King’s insider perspective on the NFL keeps readers coming back week after week. He has an incredible list of contacts in his phone and reaches out to every major actor in each week’s top storylines for his column.

This weekend, Tom Brady led the Patriots on an incredible late comeback win over the Saints, completing the game-winning touchdown pass to Kenbrell Thompkins with five seconds remaining. At the same time, the biggest story off the field involved the Rob Gronkowski injury saga. The Pats’ tight end sat out yet again Sunday, still unable to return from offseason forearm surgery.

Naturally, King led his

column with quotes from an email exchange with none other than Brady himself. That kind of access is unprecedented and is the reason why King is the undoubted leader when it comes to post-weekend NFL literature.

However, this morning, I did something different. Instead of settling into my morning groove with the MMQB on my phone in between classes, a link on Twit-ter led me to Grantland.com for Bill Barnwell’s morning col-umn on week six in the NFL, a breakdown of his confidence level regarding each of the 32 teams thus far.

Barnwell is less of a household name than King, but anyone who keeps up with Grantland, the everything blog run by the world’s most interesting blogger Bill Simmons, knows Barnwell is a rising star in the sports jour-nalism world. He started as an intern at FootballOutsiders.com in 2005 and worked his way up the ladder.

As such, Barnwell offers a completely opposite, yet just as valuable view on the NFL as King.

An advanced metrics nut, Barnwell’s best work comes on Tuesdays, when he writes his weekly “Thank you for not coaching” column. In it, he ana-lyzes the best and worst deci-sions made by NFL coaches the past weekend. His brilliant insights on important coach-ing calls, such as when to go for it on fourth down (hint: a lot more often that you might think), takes readers inside the game without first-hand ac-counts from the players and coaches involved.

Whatever your Monday morn-ing routine, I highly recommend a steady dose of both King and Barnwell. One is an established legend, the other an up-coming-prodigy. Both enhance fan’s views of the NFL in ways only great journalists can.

Volleyball swept by CreightonNiemann shines with hitting efficiency, team fails road test

If you ask senior defensive spe-cialist Rachel Stier, the Marquette women’s volleyball team didn’t show up Sunday in its three-set loss at Creighton.

“It was very disappointing,” she said. “We knew we could do it, we just didn’t show up to play. It sucked.”

The Golden Eagles had revenge on their minds Sunday at D.J. So-kol Arena in Omaha, Neb. The team had the chance to erase the bad taste left in its mouths after the Bluejays knocked them out of the NCAA Tournament last fall. Instead, everything went wrong, and they were swept 25-21, 25-21, 25-19.

“Our passing went south there for a while and wasn’t giving us good offensive opportunities,” assistant coach Jason Allen said. “That was the most frustrating part. When we were in tight po-

sitions like that where we had a chance to come out 1-1 in the first two sets, we just couldn’t do the little things we needed to do, like pass.”

On the bright side, Meghan Nie-mann led Marquette with 12 kills. The redshirt freshman middle hitter hit .500 and brought her A-game in the big time showdown.

“Meghan Niemann hit .500, which is incredible,” Stier said. “We know that when we do the right things it goes our way.”

Allen agreed and sung Nie-mann’s and senior setter Elizabeth Koberstein’s praises.

“Those are two things that we can continue to build and go for-ward with,” he said. “Those two, offensively had really good days for sure.”

Marquette could not stop Creighton junior setter Michelle Sicner. The Omaha native amassed a triple-double, with 33 assists, 15 digs and 12 kills on the afternoon. She hit .579, and Marquette didn’t do enough defensively to slow her at the net.

“We definitely didn’t handle their setter attacking like we needed to,” Allen said. “It wasn’t something that we were going into blind … we knew she does it, and we just didn’t take care of it.”

Club hockey notches victories over NorthwesternTeam extends win streak to 7 in pair of overtime wins

The Marquette club hockey team had a face-off to the left of the Northwestern goaltender with more than half of overtime expired. Marquette lost the face-off but got the puck in the corner, and passed it straight to Zach Wahl on the right point.

The Northwestern right winger shifted in front of the goaltender, providing the perfect screen for Wahl. Wahl ripped a slap shot from the point and the puck found its way into the back of the net, clinching Marquette’s 3-2 win.

“I feel like we should have played

a little better,” Wahl said. “It wasn’t our best game, but we held onto it and it felt great to win that in over-time and not go to a shootout.”

The Golden Eagles (7-2-0) faced a tough Northwestern team this weekend and battled to notch the sweep. The 3-2 victory Friday and 4-2 victory Saturday extended Marquette’s winning streak to sev-en games. The team has not lost since Sept. 20.

Marquette’s win Friday was the team’s third overtime victory in as many games. Captain Ryan Zanon said the victories have built team morale after a lackluster start.

“It’s absolutely huge,” Zanon said. “Coming down to the third pe-riod, whether we’re down, whether we’re up, whether we’re tied, our team has so much heart right now that we’re just going to keep riding it until it’s over.”

Wahl played a major part in Marquette’s victories, notching his

first three points of the season in the two games. Wahl’s first point came on a pass to Tyler Zanon late in the second period. Zanon went one-on-two against Northwestern defenders, made an outside-in cut before rocketing a shot from the top of the slot and taking a hit. The shot squeaked through the North-western goaltender’s five-hole and trickled into the back of the net. The goal gave Marquette a 2-1 lead and momentum heading into the third period.

Matthew Vuoncino made the big-gest play of the game. A Northwest-ern forward put a shot on net, and while goalie John Foley managed to save it, it still made it past him and was inching closer to the goal line, but Vuoncino got his stick be-hind Foley and threw the puck out of the zone, saving what would be the game-tying goal. While North-western went on to score again later in the period, it could have

Creighton bottled up star fresh-man outside hitter Autumn Bailey all match long. The Canadian had one of her worst games at Mar-quette, totaling just six kills and hitting negative 0.42. Bailey also had seven attack errors, but did chip in an impressive 18 digs.

“There wasn’t a lot of fight there,” Stier said of the team’s effort. “We just went through the motions. There wasn’t any time where we decided to play. We were lackadaisical.”

Stier said the team will do its best to put the loss behind them and move on.

“We’re not going to dread on it,” she said. “It’s over. It’s learn-ing experience. We’ll take that and move forward.”

Marquette will need to regroup, as it takes on DePaul at the Al Mc-Guire Center Saturday. Six days later, the Golden Eagles get an-other crack at Creighton, this time in Milwaukee. It’s an opportunity they certainly won’t let slip away.

“We need to show up from point one,” Stier said. “We need to play our game, do the things we know how to do and not worry about what Creighton’s doing. If we play our game, then we should be able to beat them.”

won the game in regulation without Vuoncino’s save.

The Golden Eagles played a simi-lar game Saturday. The team went up 2-1 in the second before relin-quishing a late goal. Chris Dolan took over the game in the third. He caught a pass from David Fabris heading into the zone and sniped the Northwestern goaltender glove side. It turned out to be the game-winning goal and was Dolan’s first of the season.

One aspect of the game Mar-quette could improve on was spe-cial teams. Both teams had plenty of power plays as the physical game led to a crowded penalty box. This proved to be advantageous for Northwestern, as three of its four goals came on the power play.

“(The penalty kill) has usu-ally been really strong, it’s just we were not in sync with it,” Coach Joe Cocking said. “We let them get the shots off, we weren’t blocking

the shots.”Ryan Zanon looked on the posi-

tives from the weekend despite the sub-par play.

“We seemed to struggle on the man disadvantage,” Zanon said. “They had a good power play and our goalie came up with some big saves at big times, but unfor-tunately we couldn’t solve them this weekend.”

Marquette takes its winning streak into next weekend to face the Arkansas Razorbacks, who travel to Milwaukee sporting their own six-game winning streak. Zanon is ready for the test.

“Arkansas comes in a very strong, very physical team,” Zanon said. “They’re hot on their own, so we’re going to take it to them next weekend and hopefully pull out some big wins.”

Sunday and Monday night puck drops are at 7:30 p.m. at the Ponds of Brookfield.

In what was billed as Mar-quette women’s soccer team’s most challenging match of the season, the Golden Eagles made their win over No. 6 George-town a cake walk.

Marquette defeated the Big East powerhouse Hoyas 4-0 at Valley Fields Sunday, moving

to 5-0-0 in conference play and gaining much-needed breathing room in first place. The Golden Eagles sit five points ahead of Georgetown for the No. 1 seed with four games remaining.

“For us, it came down to having a complete effort,” coach Markus Roeders said. “I thought we played extremely well in all areas, from goalkeep-ing to the way we organized ourselves defensively.”

Senior midfielder Taylor Ma-digan started the scoring attack by finishing on a cross in the 11th minute after Georgetown’s keeper lost her footing.

Nortey scores fourth game-winner in as many Big East games

A 23rd minute goal was all she wrote Saturday night as the Mar-quette men’s soccer team defeat-ed Creighton 1-0 to stay perfect in Big East play.

The match was the first time the Golden Eagles faced Creigh-ton as a member of the new Big East, but it also marked the opening of the newly renovated grandstands at Valley Fields.

The 2013 season has had its ups and downs, but the surprise win on Saturday along with the 4-0-0 start to conference play is finally displaying Marquette’s true colors.

Four games into Big East play, the team sits comfortably atop league standings with 12 points. It defeated ranked conference opponents Butler and Creighton, and with Georgetown falling to Xavier over the weekend, the Golden Eagles are in the driver’s seat with no signs of taking their foot off the gas.

“We’re 12 points in the Big East right now, so that’s huge for us,” redshirt junior goalkeeper

Charlie Lyon said. “We’ve got a week to prepare now for next game, so to come in and get on a good roll like we have is huge just to really start to pull ahead away from everybody else.”

Shot totals were even at the end of the match. The first half had both teams even at seven a piece, but the difference was Marquette took dangerous chances and Creighton did not.

One of these chances, which seemed routine, was the even-tual game winner. In the 23rd minute, senior defender Paul Dillon ran uncontested down the left touchline and sent in a cross. The cross landed on the right foot of redshirt sophomore forward C. Nortey, who one-timed the half-volley past the Bluejay net minder and ran to the student section for a Lam-beau Leap-style celebration.

Nortey refrained from his normal backflip celebration af-ter being advised by athletic trainers to stop backfliping for the time being.

“Paul gave me a great a ball tonight, and I made a good run, and I just tapped it in, and I didn’t know what to do with myself,” Nortey said. “My trainer asked me to not flip for a little while so I’m keeping it on the d-low.”

Backflip celebration or not,

the goal is Nortey’s fourth game winner in as many Big East games for Marquette and is a team leading seventh goal on the season.

Energy levels from both teams heated up following the goal. The game became a bit chippy and tempers were tested, forcing the referee to pull out a couple yellow cards, but when the final

whistle blew, Marquette com-pleted the upset and the shutout.

Lyon’s clean sheet is his sixth of the season and third in Big East play. Coach Louis Bennett credits the shutout to the stellar performances and consistency from Lyon and the backs.

“Lyon is really coming into his own, I mean as a leader as well as a captain,” Bennett said, “and

with Axel (Sjoberg), Eric (Po-thast), and Brady (Wahl) playing some of the best soccer they’ve played, I think its fantastic. I mean credit to all.”

The squad now has a much-deserved break after playing five games in two weeks. They have seven days off before traveling to face Providence in Rhode Is-land Saturday at noon.

Marquette remains undefeated in Big East play

Freshman midfielder Ashley Handwork notched her second goal of the year in the 38th min-ute when she broke free from defenders and drilled in a shot from 15 yards out.

The Golden Eagles were aware that a 2-0 advantage at halftime was by no means a cozy lead. Two more scores to open the second frame gave them the insurance they wanted.

Senior midfielders Maegan Kelly and Cara Jacobson tal-lied goals quickly from the break– Kelly’s in the 50th min-ute and Jacobson’s in the 56th. Jacobson fought through three

defenders just outside the penal-ty box for the hard-earned score. “One thing kind of led to an-other and before I knew it, I had a look on goal, slotted in far post and the goalie couldn’t get to it,” Jacobson said. “It was kind of a little bit of luck too.”

Entering Sunday, the Hoyas allowed eight goals for the en-tire season and outshot their op-ponents 218-87. Four goals tells the Golden Eagles plenty about how well they dismantled the Hoya defense.

“I would put the four goals into perspective for us that it’s a win,” Roeders said. “Even if

it was 1-0, we would be just as happy. I think, more than any-thing, we had a complete effort, and that’s what we needed to have today against a very good Georgetown team.”

Georgetown, shut out for the first time this season, appeared uncharacteristically flustered all afternoon. It had difficulty converting on corner kicks and had all of its crosses intercepted in the box by Marquette defend-ers. The Golden Eagles added to their confident lead heading into the final stretch of match-es, and having that poise for the rest of the fall will be vital to their success.

“I think we know that any-thing can happen in any of the games in the Big East,” Madi-gan said. “It’s not necessarily breathing room, but we’re just going to have to come out and take it game by game.”

Marquette had all of last week to practice for Sunday, and Ro-eders used the time to his ad-vantage, preparing the players for what could be a tie-break-ing match for the top seed in the conference.

“I think we worked on physi-cally and mentally getting our-selves back,” Roeders said. “We were able to kind of refocus this week and open, so to speak, an-other chapter. We just tried to prepare and polish our overall game just on getting better.”

The Golden Eagles look to extend their seven-game win-ning streak at Seton Hall Thurs-day and then make a stop in the Windy City for a battle with DePaul Sunday.
