Chicago Public Schools began its academic year Tuesday with the continuing threat of a teach-ers’ strike, which could begin Monday, looming over classes.

Contract negotiations between the district and the Chicago Teachers Union are scheduled to continue through Friday, mean-ing a strike can still be averted. CPS is already planning pro-grams for students in the event that the teachers do go on strike.

The district’s high school se-niors, about 20,000 of them, may continue to receive credit through online classes and dual enrollment programs as well as assistance in applying for college and scholarships.

The district has also budgeted for a $25 million strike contin-gency plan that will open the

Strike looms in Chicago

Groups that stopped Wiscon-sin’s voter ID law in two law-suits last spring are trying to halt an effort to have the state Supreme Court take over the cases and rule on them before the Nov. 6 election, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The plaintiffs in both cases, the Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera, said Tuesday that they believe the high court would benefit from having the cases reviewed by a court of appeals, also writing in a brief that “im-posing the photo ID requirement in such a precipitous fashion will produce confusion and chaos at the polls statewide.”

The state Supreme Court re-jected an effort by Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen (R) last spring to have the cases heard by the high court. Van Hollen would have to get injunctions lifted on both cases in order to have the voter ID laws take effect for this coming election.

A number of organizations around campus collaborated Wednesday for the year’s first “Fresh Fall Farmers Market.” The event took place outside of the Olin Engineering Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m due to the threat of rain. Items for sale included fresh produce, baked goods and cider. Among the groups that sponsored the event were the Marquette Student Government, Sodexo, the Center for Health Education and Promotion, the Of-fice of Sustainability, the Office of Residence Life and the Alumni Memorial Union, according to the event’s Facebook page.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday that three people in Milwau-kee have been hospitalized as of 2:25 p.m Wednesday.

According to Webmd.com, anyone who has been bitten by an infected mosquito may get West Nile virus, though most people who have the vi-rus show no symptoms. The site also states that the virus cannot spread from person to person through casual contact. When symptoms do occur, they include a fever, head or body aches, fatigue and nausea that can last three to six days. Severe cases may lead to a stiff neck, confusion, a coma or death.

Crucial changes to MUSG elections

By Ben [email protected]

Removal of primaries, required online voting among revisions

Marquette Student Govern-ment will conduct elections a little differently this year. Dur-ing last Thursday’s legislative meeting, senators unanimously approved three distinct changes to their electoral process. Ex-ecutive Vice President Bill Nei-dhardt, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, was one of the authors of the amendment.

“The removal of primaries is probably the most contro-versial part,” Neidhardt said. “And then we’re moving (the elections) online, which is the most obvious part. And then the third part is fixing the way we define commuters.”

Before the revisions to the election rules were ratified, com-muter students were defined in the MUSG constitution as “stu-dents who reside outside of the 53233 zip code, or within the 53233 zip code with a parent or guardian.” The recent updates have slightly altered that defini-tion, as it now reads: “Students who do not, or did not as fresh-men or sophomores, live in university residence halls, but live(d) within 35 miles of campus with a parent or legal guardian.”

Off-Campus Senator Joe Daufenbach, a senior in the Col-lege of Arts & Sciences, said this adjustment was made to ensure that the definition of a commuter student was the same across all university platforms.

Daufenbach said he expects this adaptation to make it easier for commuter students to know their classification.

MUSG’s decision to hold elec-tions exclusively online was, as Neidhardt mentioned, an obvi-ous move. Students have already been able to cast their votes on-line in the past, so this amend-ment will just incorporate on-line election procedures into MUSG’s constitution.

Arts & Sciences Senator and Academics Committee Chair Sam Schultz, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, said the major change has to do with holding all elections on Involvement Link.

“I think we did it to just make everything more central,” Schultz said. “I know the university and MUSG put up funding for it last year to move all student organi-zations to this Involvement Link site, so it’s kind of a central place. And so by moving the elections to this, hopefully it’s driving traffic to that site anyway.”

Regarding senatorial primaries, Neidhardt said they have become virtually obsolete and therefore needed to be removed. Primaries were only held in races involving more than two candidates, and those cases have been few and far between in the last decade.

“There were 108 residential races held in the last 10 years and only 18 times there was a primary,” Neidhardt said.

He said that candidates should not need to cut an entire week from their allotted campaigning time to allow for primaries that rarely even take place.

“(Time spent on campus talking to students) is what really helps develop MUSG senators and what really makes them a voice of the students, so robbing them of that time is really not healthy for the organization,” Neidhardt said.

All three of these changes are slated to take effect immedi-ately and will be observed in the Residence Hall Association and Senate elections Sept. 13.

Dems take over Charlotte

LGBT, women’s rights prominent topics for first day of convention

The first official day of the Democratic National Conven-tion began Tuesday in Charlotte, with delegates, lawmakers and other party members making their case for President Barack Obama’s re-election.

Among the proceedings for the convention’s first night was the call for a federal law recogniz-ing same-sex marriages as part of the official party platform, making this the first time that a political party has included formal support for same-sex marriage in its platform.

This addition to the party’s platform is significant, and ac-cording to College of Com-munication sophomore Rachel Berkowitz, historic.

“Not only are the delegates planning to re-elect our na-tion’s first African-American president, but they are also en-dorsing the first LGBT equal-ity plank. I think it’s amazing that we are actually, finally one step closer to equality for LGBT rights,” Berkowitz said.

Though the LGBT news swept the convention, it was the ladies of the party who captured the audience with

their speeches Tuesday.U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore of

Milwaukee joined two dozen other current and aspiring fe-male members of the House of Representatives Tuesday night to discuss what they described as “women’s issues,” includ-ing abortion rights and domestic violence legislation.

“No victim of domestic vio-lence or bullying – man or woman – should feel unpro-tected in America ... The Dem-ocratic women of the House will fight violence against all Americans to move America forward,” Moore said.

Women’s issues and questions over abortion rights raised at the DNC have been a key focus of this year’s election. The issues were further highlighted after Missouri GOP Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin made comments concerning what he defined as “legitimate rape,” which raised questions from both parties.

Both parties have called for the resignation of Akin, including Republican Presidential Nomi-nee Mitt Romney, who has gone on the record both disagreeing with Akin’s remarks and say-ing he would support abortion in cases of rape and when the mother’s life is at risk.

Michelle Obama’s speech concluded Tuesday night, and according to College of Arts & Sciences sophomore Kyle Whelton, stole the show.

“Michelle Obama gave one of the greatest speeches in the

history of the DNC last night as she addressed the floor,” he said. “It’s no secret that the Obamas have a very high personal likabil-ity amongst voters; it seems that voters do not hold their policy disagreements against the Presi-dent personally, which allows for a speech like we saw last night.”

The first lady described Obama’s childhood in Hawaii and also shared her own back-ground growing up in Chicago. Michelle Obama recalled her first dates with him, when “he was so poor that his only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.”

Michelle Obama’s family-centric speech reflected the mood of the convention and set the tone for a slew of family-related speeches. The speeches at the convention often took personal turns, with many del-egates connecting the issues with their own families.

San Antonio mayor and key-note speaker Julian Castro dis-cussed his grandmother’s im-migration and family story and worked his way into discussing Romney, who was not mentioned in Michelle Obama’s speech.

“We all understand that free-dom isn’t free,” Castro said. “What Romney and Ryan don’t understand is that nei-ther is opportunity. We have to invest in it.”

The Democratic National Con-vention concludes tonight, and Barack Obama is slated to ac-cept the Democratic presidential nomination at 6 p.m.

Marquette to sponsor charter school

By Monique [email protected]

Marquette becomes the first university to support Cristo Rey

Campus ministry gets new director

By Jacob [email protected]

Mary Sue Callan-Farley will look to foster inclusiveness

Cheating policies vary at MU

By Melanie [email protected]

Discrepancies between colleges for reporting numbers

Campus Ministry has a new director this year in Mary Sue Callan-Farley, previously the di-rector of campus ministry at St. Peter’s College in Jersey City, N.J. With 20 years of expertise in ministry and campus ministry, including 11 years at St. Peter’s, Callan-Farley said she is excited to start her job here at Marquette.

“My job for my first year is to listen,” she said. “Our pro-grams, like the retreats and Ignatius projects, evolve on a year to year basis. I make sure they keep evolving.”

Callan-Farley graduated from the University of Notre Dame and has her master’s degree in theological studies from the Maryknoll School of Theol-ogy. She decided she would like to come to Marquette when the position of director of campus ministry opened up.

“I feel that sometimes it’s good to stretch yourself,” Callan-Farley said. “I have many col-leagues who said Marquette is great, and I’ve heard Milwaukee is a great city.”

Stephanie Russell, vice presi-dent of mission and ministry, was part of the committee that select-ed Callan-Farley for the position.

“Mary Sue Callan-Farley is a tremendously gifted wom-an,” Russell said. “Everyone (the committee) talked to men-tioned her compassion, compe-tence in campus ministry and

ability to work with diversity.”One of the ideas that Callan-

Farley stresses is that while Marquette is a Catholic, Je-suit school, there is room for all faiths and cultures.

“All are welcome here at Campus Ministry,” Callan-Farley said. “It doesn’t matter where they are from or what they believe in.”

Callan-Farley said she wanted to stress that community is also a major part in what she wants to do at Marquette. Those plans started with an open house Tues-day morning where students could come into Campus Minis-try and have light refreshments while getting to know the staff.

“The open house was really for relationship building,” Callan-Farley said. “I’m new here, and not everybody knows every-one on staff or even in Campus Ministry. I wanted to introduce myself to the community.”

Lisa Cathelyn, a senior in the College of Arts & Sci-ences, said she’s excited to see what Callan-Farley can do in Campus Ministry.

“I think it’s pretty crucial that those who work in Campus Min-istry continue to be visible on campus at events both directly related to their office but also programs that are not necessarily affiliated with Campus Ministry,” Cathelyn said. “That way, they can continue their welcoming, open-minded presence on cam-pus and live out the University’s Catholic, Jesuit mission.”

Callen-Farley said she thinks the work of Campus Ministry can improve the university.

“We feel that if people re-flect and pray, then Marquette will be much better off,” Callan-Farley said.

Marquette students have never been implicated in a cheating scandal as large as the one that’s currently rocking Harvard Uni-versity, where school officials are investigating suspicious similari-ties in more than one hundred take-home final exams from a Spring 2012 government class. While such a case has not arisen here, professors on campus maintain that preventing academic dishon-esty is a problem that is not unique to Ivy League schools.

“Faculty wish it were rare,” Pa-mela Nettleton, an assistant pro-fessor of journalism in the Col-lege of Communication, said. “But it seems it is not.”

Nettleton has taught large 250-person lecture courses and smaller courses in more special-ized topics. Like most professors, she puts a detailed account of the university’s policies pertain-ing to academic dishonesty in her syllabus. Despite this warning, Nettleton says she comes across academic dishonesty of some type every semester.

Academic dishonesty is both a violation of the student code of con-duct and the university’s policies and procedures on academic hon-esty, according to the text within Marquette’s 2012-13 student hand-book. The student code of conduct says that participating in “any form of dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarism, fabrications or assisting others in doing so is an infraction subject to disclipinary action.”

According to the Division of Student Affairs Annual Report 2009-10, the number of stu-dents charged with dishonesty in

conduct board hearings rose from nine incidents during the 2009 fall semester to 16 in the 2010 spring semester. Out of the 25 charges in the year, only 17 students, in total, were found responsible.

Since each college manages its own incidents of academic dis-honesty, these reports may not ac-curately reflect the pervasiveness of the cheating culture on campus. According to Gary Meyer, the vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching, the university does not have a compiled number of the reported cases that occur each year.

Christopher Perez, assistant dean for academic affairs in the Col-lege of Engineering, said there have been 60 reported cases in his college since fall 2008. Perez said he normally receives five notices each semester but has accumulated up to 15.

The College of Business Admin-istration and the College of Nursing did not reveal their numbers of aca-demic dishonesty incidents.

“While we could go back and count up instances (of academ-ic dishonesty),” Margaret Cal-lahan, dean of the College of Nursing, said, “we find it more helpful to focus on the positive approaches that foster a culture of honesty and integrity.”

The College of Communication, the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Health Sciences also declined to comment.

Among Marquette’s most recent attempts to confront academic dis-honesty was the creation of a sub-committee on academic integrity during the 2010-11 academic year by Provost John Pauly, Meyer said. The subcommittee submitted a final report in June 2011, according to Meyer, which was then reviewed in a University Academic Senate meeting February 20, 2012.

In the report, the subcommittee made several recommendations to the provost – most of which revolve around integrating the notion of academic integrity into Marquette’s

community. Specifically, the sub-committee suggested making “in-tegrity” more clear in the Marquette educational mission. This includes forming a comprehensive education program that encourages academic integrity, developing a centralized system for administering a com-prehensive academic integrity pol-icy and actually creating a code of academic integrity.

Meyer said Pauly is currently de-ciding how to proceed with these recommendations.

The university also retains a membership in the International Center of Academic Integrity. Last September, Marquette announced in a News Brief that it updated the software of its reporting hotline, EthicsPoint, to now allow students and faculty to anonymously report misconduct of any kind, including academic dishonesty and cheating.

According to its website, the ICAI is an organization of aca-demic institutions based at Clem-son University that aims to “com-bat” academic dishonesty and preserve academic integrity in higher education through the facili-tation of conversation and provision of relevant resources.

“As a citizen, I am much more concerned with attitudes in broader society that condone the perva-sive intellectual dishonesty that we confront every day and every-where,” Dale Noel, a Marquette professor of biological sciences, said. “It infects us all.”

When attempting to answer why students decide to engage in these dishonest tactics, the responses var-ied among professors.

“I’ve seen a student approach as-signments not as learning opportu-nities or ways to master material, but as if they were punishments,” Nettleton said. “Thinking like that, you might justify ways of working around doing your work. You might think of instructors as punishers, then think of yourself as a victim, and then tell yourself it’s morally acceptable to cheat.”

This year, Marquette will sponsor a new charter school coming to Milwaukee through the Jesuit Catholic Cristo Rey network. Students attending these schools go to class four days a week and work with participating businesses in the community on the fifth day in order to afford tuition and learn work-readiness skills.

According to College of Edu-cation Dean William Henk, Cris-to Rey will perform a year-long study to determine the network’s effectiveness in the community as well as its effect on other Catholic schools in Milwaukee like Messmer High School on the city’s north side and St. Anthony on the south side.

Marquette will begin spon-soring the Cristo Rey network thanks to a gift from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation,

The Cristo Rey network teaches students the value of an education because they literally work to be able to attend.”

William Henk, dean of the College of Education

making it the first university to sponsor the network.

“Cristo Rey schools aren’t just regular charter schools,” Henk said. “The Cristo Rey network teaches students the value of an education because they literally work to be able to attend its schools.”

Henk said Marquette’s in-volvement with the Cristo Rey Network is not new. Each year, Marquette admits several grad-uates of the Cristo Rey pro-gram and was recently named a national university partner of the network, receiving an award for collaborative ef-forts at the Cristo Rey Network Summit this past July.

The opening of these charter schools, as well as the Cristo Rey Network’s expansion to Milwaukee, could mean great things for the city, said Tony Ta-gliavia, media manager for Mil-waukee Public Schools.

“MPS looks to replicate schools that are working,” Ta-gliavia said. “We have a lot of charter schools that have shown success, so we give those schools authorization to open new campuses.”

MPS is also allowing Uni-versal Companies, a national

charter school operator from Philadelphia, and a local high-performing charter network to open five new charter schools for the 2013-14 school year.

While the opening of these charter schools will mean great things for MPS and Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools Su-perintendent Gregory Thornton said it does not mean charter schools work in all situations.

“What we’ve seen with Uni-versal Companies is that they go into schools, take over and try to engage the students, fam-ily and community,” Thornton said. “There’s nothing spe-cifically great about charter schools or public schools– there are just great schools, and we try to replicate that.”

If approved, the Univer-sal Milwaukee Community Charter School would open with about 600 students, rang-ing from kindergarten to sixth

grade, adding a grade level each subsequent year and eventu-ally becoming a K-12 program with about 1,200 students.

Milwaukee College Prepara-tory School, which already runs three charter-school campuses, would also open another K-8 charter school in MPS.

Milwaukee College Prep is looking to take over two district buildings for its 38th St. and Lloyd Street campuses, but ne-gotiations are still in the works.

The Universal Milwaukee Community Charter School is sponsored by Universal Compa-nies, led by President and Chief Executive Officer Rahim Islam.

According to the Universal Companies’ charter school ap-plication, the company plans to use Milwaukee’s former Webster Middle School build-ing at 6850 N. 53rd St. as the potential site for its school.

Expansion: New dental school ensures prominence in educationSchool of Dentistry as a nation-al leader in dental education. (It will also) help sustain our ability to provide patient care services throughout Wisconsin as well as (further cement our) reputation in producing con-temporary, competent clinical dentists for the future.”

The dental school is slated for a variety of improvements that will increase the school’s graduating class size from 80 to 100 students. Other additions will include a clinic that houses 24 operatories, a larger faculty practice clinic, additional class-room space and a research lab. The expansion will also reno-vate the existing simulation lab to accommodate 24 stations.

“According to a January 2010 Wisconsin Dental Association work force study, while the state has enough dentists to meet the demand until 2020, this same study found that 52 percent of Wisconsin’s profes-sionally active dentists are be-tween the ages of 50 and 64,” Lobb said. “The proposed ex-pansion is a measured approach and the most cost-effective way to address Wisconsin’s long-term dental workforce needs.”

Lobb said the expansion proj-ect was a result of a joint effort that began under the university presidency of the Rev. Robert A. Wild and was continued by current University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz.

Aside from the university

contribution, funding for the expansion has come from the Wisconsin Dental Association, the state itself and hundreds of individual donors.

“We are grateful for our long-standing relationship with the state of Wisconsin and for the bi-partisan support we’ve re-ceived over the years,” Lobb said. “In addition to the hun-dreds of very generous den-tists who have stepped forward to help with this campaign, Marquette is fortunate for the support of the Wisconsin Dental Association, (which) has also endorsed this project with (its) members.”

Rick Kushner, the president and CEO of the national den-tal firm Comfort Dental, is an alumni of the school and re-members his Marquette edu-cation fondly. Comfort Dental is the largest franchised den-tal organization in the world, and Kushner has come to ap-preciate the time he spent at Marquette above all else.

“We believed the dental cur-riculum at the time was difficult but very traditional and not lack-ing in any way,” Kushner said. “However, as a dental student, it was the only dental school any of us had ever attended so our frame of reference was quite non-existent. In recent years, I have come to appreciate Mar-quette’s dental school more than all the others because (it has) continued to reach out to me.”

Current faculty members are also excited for the expansion. Daniel Bures, an adjunct assis-tant clinical professor, said that because the needs of patients are at an all-time high, the den-tal school’s expansion will

allow more dentists to be trained.

“The most important aspect of the expansion is that it keeps and ensures that the Marquette University School of Den-tistry remains a prominent and

visible leader in the education and training of tomorrow’s den-tists,” Bures said, adding that the expansion wouldn’t have been as successful if it wasn’t for the support of Lobb.

The expansion will add a clinic that houses 24 operatories, a larger faculty practice clinic and a research lab.

being behind the violence.“We as a community, as in hu-

manity, need to come together and start working to fight this hate,” Kaleka said. “This ignorance of seeing people as different and cre-ating a hatred of people who are different than you, it doesn’t make sense, because we all live our lives, we love each other.”

The vigil was organized by the Indian Student Association, Campus Ministry and the of-fices of Student Development, Intercultural Engagement and International Education.

Jasleen Bhasin, a junior in the College of Business Administra-tion and the event’s chief organiz-er, said she hopes to start an orga-nization for students interested in learning more about Sikhism.

“I really hope anyone who wants to learn about the temple will join me in this club of Sikh faith,” Bhasin said.

Chris Gooding, a graduate stu-dent in the College of Arts & Sci-ences who identifies as a Menno-nite Christian, said he was able to find common ground between his own faith and Sikhism through a common emphasis on peace.

“There is a big emphasis on peace in (my religious) tradition as well, and a very strong emphasis on non-violence, which we share with Sikhs,” Gooding said. “So while there may be conflicts with words in our communities, we al-ways believe that violence is never a way to solve anything. So sup-porting other groups at times like these is really, really important.”

$16 trillion debt highest in our nation’s history

By Andrew TaylorAssociated Press

Lawmakers will need to raise debt ceiling before next year

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Tues-day that the national debt has topped $16 trillion, the result of chronic government deficits that have poured more than $50,000 worth of red ink onto federal led-gers for every man, woman and child in the United States.

The news was greeted with a round of press releases from President Barack Obama’s GOP rivals, who used the grim-but-expected news to criticize the president for the government’s fiscal performance over his 3 1/2 years in office. Obama has pre-sided over four straight years of trillion dollar-plus deficits after inheriting a weak economy from his predecessor, George W. Bush.

“We can no longer push off the tough decisions until tomorrow,” said No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor, R-Va. “It’s time to address the serious fiscal chal-lenges we face and stop spend-ing money we don’t have.” Last summer, Cantor dropped out of a set of budget talks hosted by Vice President Joe Biden, citing the insistence of the White House on tax increases to help close deficits that require the gov-ernment to borrow 33 cents of every dollar it spends.

The spiraling debt means that lawmakers and the eventual win-ner of the White House in No-vember will have to pass a law early next year to raise the gov-

The $16 trillion means there is more than $50,000 of debt for every man, woman and child in the United States.

ernment’s borrowing cap from the current ceiling of $16.39 tril-lion. Passing such legislation last year proved enormously difficult and the nation’s credit rating suf-fered.

First, however, lawmakers will try during a post-election lame duck session to renew Bush-era tax cuts and head off a round of forced budget austerity as au-tomatic budget cuts are sched-uled in January to slam both the Pentagon and domestic pro-grams. Those cuts were required by another failed set of budget talks last fall by a bipartisan “supercommittee.”

GOP vice presidential nomi-nee Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin piled on as well.

“Of all the broken promises from President Obama, this is probably the worst one, because this debt is threatening jobs to-day, it’s threatening prosperity today and it is guaranteeing that our children and grandchildren get a diminished future,” Ryan told supporters in Cedar Rap-ids, Iowa. Ryan was named to Obama’s debt commission but voted against a proposal by its co-chairs. He declined an invi-tation by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to try again on the supercommittee.

Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said: “This debt will not only be a liability for our kids and grandkids, but economists also tell us that it will limit economic growth and kill millions of jobs now and in the future.” Port-man was a member of last year’s failed supercommittee, which deadlocked over taxes and cuts to popular benefit programs.

The debt topped the $16 trillion mark on Friday.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the govern-ment will likely reach its debt limit at the end of the year. However, Geithner has said he will be able to employ vari-ous “extraordinary measures” to keep the government operat-ing until sometime early next year. Geithner would need to use these measures if Congress, as expected, fails to tackle the debt limit by year’s end.

Last year’s prolonged impasse

between the GOP-dominated House and Democrats control-ling the Senate and the White House contributed to a move by the ratings agency Standard & Poor’s to lower America’s AAA bond rating for the first time in the country’s history, nudging it down a notch to AA+ for long-term securities.

GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney promises sharp spending cuts and a balanced budget by 2020 if he wins the

White House, but has provid-ed little detail about how that might be accomplished.

For his part, Obama has de-clined to tackle the spiraling growth of benefit programs like Medicare and the Medicaid health program for the poor and disabled. His proposals to hike taxes on upper income earn-ers have been repeatedly re-jected by Republicans, but he promises to insist on them if he wins re-election.

Sikh tragedy inspires the generosity of community

By Dinesh RamdeAssociated Press

More than $500,000 in donations are expected for victims

OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) — Offi-cials at the Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee are treading carefully as they figure out how to distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations that have poured in from around the world after a deadly shooting rampage last month.

Milwaukee has always been close-knit, and the members drew even closer after the shooting. But tem-ple leaders know even the closest of bonds can unravel when money gets involved.

Aware of arguments that flared among victims’ families after shoot-ings in Colorado and at Virginia Tech, Sikh leaders are relying on an outside expert to figure out the fair-est way to share the funds.

“You never really know what will happen when there’s money involved, but we’re doing our best to safeguard against any problems,” said Amardeep Kaleka, whose fa-ther was among the Sikhs killed. “The community has already

suffered. If there’s any in-fighting there will only be more suffering.”

The collections are expected to total between $500,000 and $600,000. The outpouring followed a rampage in which a man with ties to white supremacy groups killed six worshippers and wounded two others before killing himself. His motive may never be known.

While the Sikh community ap-preciates the donations, figuring out how to distribute them could be dif-ficult.

Those killed ranged in age from a 41-year-old mother of two who was her family’s primary breadwinner to an 84-year-old man who retired long ago. One of the people who was wounded didn’t have health insurance and was hospitalized in critical condition for a month. He was upgraded to serious condition Wednesday.

Do all families get equal amounts? Or does an arbitrator impose value judgments, deciding whose life or earning potential was worth more than another’s? Does the money go just to the families of those injured or killed? Or does it also go to those who were in the temple at the time of the shooting and were emotion-ally traumatized?

“No one wants to be callous, but there are finite resources,” said Kaleka. “Some hard decisions will have to be made.”

In other shooting rampages, victims’ family members haven’t always been happy with those de-cisions. Last week, relatives of some of the Aurora, Colo., theater

shooting victims lashed out because fundraisers who collected more than $5 million had so far given no more than $5,000 to each family. After the Virginia Tech shooting, two family members who lost loved ones sued over how the money was distributed.

One big difference between those shootings and the one in Wisconsin: In Colorado and Virginia, the vic-tims were strangers who happened to be in the same area together; at the Oak Creek temple, the worship-pers know each other. It’s not yet clear whether that will avert dis-agreements over the funds.

To help them navigate any thorny issues, temple officials turned to lawyer Ken Feinberg, a victims’ at-torneys and claims expert who di-rected victims’ payments after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the Gulf Coast oil spill in 2010 and the Vir-ginia Tech shooting in 2007.

Feinberg told The Associated Press he recommends the temple act swiftly, saying the families need money now and won’t benefit from a long delay. He also recommended giving the families of the dead equal amounts, even if one victim was 84 and another was 41.

“You would treat everyone ex-actly the same. All lives would be equal,” Feinberg said. “That’s the only way to avoid the fairness argu-ment. If anyone’s unhappy there’s an outlet for anyone who wants to litigate.”

Jasjit Singh, executive director of the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, acknowledged

Feinberg’s advice might not sit well with some people, but said the alter-native — trying to determine how much more one life is worth than another — is also difficult.

“You’re in a tough spot either which way. It’s very murky terri-tory,” he said.

Despite Feinberg’s suggestion that the donations be distributed quickly, temple leader Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal said the board of trustees plans to proceed deliberate-ly. He said he expects the process to take weeks if not months.

Some victims’ expenses could also be covered by federal funds, administered through the state Crime Victim Compensation Pro-gram. Those who are wounded or suffer emotional harm in a crime can receive up to $40,000.

That could include the 16 people who hid in a pantry for two hours when the gunfire began.

At least one of those victims plans not to seek any compensation, either from the state or from the do-nations.

Belhair Dulai said his wife was injured when a bullet caused a piece of granite countertop to ricochet and lodge in her foot. Despite her pain, he said, she felt the same as other community members felt: The money should be reserved for those families who suffered real loss.

“She doesn’t care about the mon-ey. There are a lot more important things than that,” he said. “What they decide, it doesn’t matter. There are other people in the community that need more attention.”

Parrell said Marquette stu-dents are the reason CKMU continuously succeeds.

“This generation has the po-tential and the power to do so much; it is awesome to see them harness their boundless energy and take action,” Par-rell said. She said urban ar-eas like Milwaukee are often plagued with food scarcity stemming from poverty.

According to 2010 data from the U.S. Census Bu-reau, Milwaukee was named the fourth poorest city in the U.S., with thousands collecting food stamps.

Parrell said CKMU volunteers are “truly called to service” and dedicated to serving the hungry in Milwaukee.

“Even students who are per-forming required service have joined us after their hours are complete,” Parrell said. “I think it’s the Jesuit spirit of service that is prevalent throughout the university.”

Emily Paulson, the national program manager for Marquette

and the coordinator for Cam-pus Kitchen at Gonzaga Uni-versity, said the organization takes a serious look into the needs of a community before starting a new branch.

Paulson said Campus Kitch-en surveys student interest and what on-campus sup-port is available. She said CKMU maintains a pool of regular volunteers.

“Marquette has always had a very strong and active leader-ship team,” Paulson said.

Laura Mark, a senior in the College of Arts & Sci-ences, said she continues to volunteer at CKMU because of the value the organization brings to Milwaukee.

“As I volunteered through-out my freshman year, I grew to understand how smart the Campus Kitchen mission is,” Mark said. “The more I learned, the more I realized that it’s an incredibly simple, sustainable organization.”

Mark said one of CKMU’s main missions is eliminating food waste.

“Marquette’s branch of Cam-pus Kitchens is particularly

focused on food recovery and redistribution,” Mark said. “We try to find creative ways to use as much of that food as pos-sible in creating meals for our partner organizations.”

CKMU volunteers may work

anywhere from one shift per semester to every evening, as flexibility is a valued part of the organization.

While many college students may loathe preparing their own meals, Mark said she en-

joys her time in the kitchen and looks forward to her shifts each week. She said she will lead one cooking shift and one delivery shift in both preparing and sending food to the hungry each week this semester.

Music conference brings indie bands and fans together

In a time of instability within the music industry, aspiring mu-sicians have a right to question their career choices. Every day, more song covers and band pro-files appear across the Internet, their creators desperate for just a taste of the attention all too familiar to performers like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.

So how can new artists get an edge on their competition? The answer may be surpris-ingly far from the bright lights of Hollywood.

Milwaukee’s Yellow Phone Music Conference is a four-day conference from September 6-9 that gives musicians the oppor-tunity to connect with leaders in the music industry and showcase their talents in front of large audi-ences.

Doug Johnson, David Silbaugh and Scott Ziel, all partners in the Midwest booking agency Pursuit Live, started Yellow Phone last year. While there are numerous music conferences around the country, Johnson, Silbaugh and Ziel wanted this conference to be more acces-sible to new and unsigned artists. They felt Milwaukee was the best place for it.

“We love (Milwaukee) and love sharing it with oth-er people when they come to visit,” Ziel said in an email. “It’s big enough to be

interesting but small enough to get around.”

The conference starts with a kick-off party on Sept. 6 in the Polaris Room at the Hyatt Re-gency Hotel. This event is free to the public and lasts from 7 to 11 p.m.

The next two days include nu-merous opportunities for musi-cians to meet and mingle with important figures in the music industry. There are eleven pan-els a day on both Sept. 7 and 8, held in various ballrooms of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, from which artists can pick and choose which to attend.

These panels feature profes-sional musicians, producers, managers, agents and music ex-ecutives, all of whom are willing to share their insight and advice on succeeding in the music in-dustry. Kevin Lyman, producer and creator of the wildly success-ful Vans Warped Tour, will give the keynote address, sharing his experiences with touring festi-vals, record labels and corporate projects. Other panelists include Patrick Stump, lead singer/gui-tarist/composer of Fall Out Boy; Peter Cohen, talent producer for the hit reality show “The Voice,” as well as talent buy-ers, entertainment lawyers and management executives from around the country.

After the panels comes a net-working reception, where con-ference attendees can meet the panelists and discuss the topics covered earlier in the day over free refreshments. This kind of opportunity is invaluable to up-and-coming musicians. They can get questions answered by professionals that have experi-ence in the field, getting a leg

up on competition who may not have attended the conference. The panelists may be more will-ing to give advice to attendees as opposed to musicians they meet outside of the conference. If art-ists are willing to take the time and pay the costs to go to the con-ference, they are showing com-mitment to their career choice and a readiness to learn how to succeed in the business.

To conclude each night, the conference hosts an artist show-case in the Third Ward, featur-ing more than thirty bands from around the country. Conference managers search for talent all year long to fill these spots. They take recommendations from agents and managers and send twenty representatives to various cities throughout the Midwest to find the best unsigned acts. Most of this year’s musical talent comes from the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. Just a few of these are the folk duo Blessed Feathers from West Bend, Wis.; alterna-tive rock band Ikarus Down from Milwaukee and soulful singer Ja-mie Lono from Chicago.

Some musicians, however, are traveling much greater distances to perform. The Boston folk/pop group The Ballroom Thieves will also be performing, after being invited to the conference by David Silbaugh. They met at the Launch Music Conference & Festival in Lancaster, Pa., this past April, where Silbaugh heard the band play at a small show-case. After listening to the perfor-mance and meeting up with the group for drinks after the show, he decided to invite the three mu-sicians to perform in Milwaukee.

Livingston Jones, the band’s manager,

said in an email that con-ferences like Yellow Phone are terrific networking opportunities.

“The panels are a great way (to hear) advice from folks who have invaluable experience,” he said. “And the showcases give the band an opportunity to be heard by those same people later in the evening.”

Jones added that attending music conferences is also a great way to gain the publicity needed to book shows. A repre-sentative from Steamtown Music Showcase also heard the band at Launch, and like Silbaugh, in-vited the group to perform at his own showcase. The Ballroom Thieves will play at that festival in Scranton, Pa., before coming to Milwaukee for their performance on Sept. 7.

Musicians can get access to panel discussions, networking receptions and artists’ show-cases by purchasing a confer-ence badge for $149, available online or at the Hyatt Regency Hotel starting Sept. 6. For $20, members of the general public can purchase a wristband to gain access to all of the performances in the artist showcase event, held on various stages throughout the Third Ward. However, guests must be 21 or older to attend the showcase.

Even though it is only in its second year, the Yellow Phone Music Conference has a line-up of successful panelists and

diverse performers that would grab the attention of any up-and-coming band or music lov-er. It may only last a few days, but participants will leave with the information and experi-ence needed to survive in the music industry.

Tea, board games and medieval battles all at MU

At any given moment on Mar-quette’s campus, you may catch Club Quidditch passing the Quaffle, Ducks Unlimited dis-cussing how to best protect our nation’s waterfowl or the philos-ophy club pondering life’s big questions. Though these sub-cultures within the Marquette community may not always be visible, they are vibrant.

It is one of the things that makes Marquette great. No mat-ter how obscure your interests or esoteric your knowledge, there are likely to be people here who share your tastes, and there is probably already a club dedi-cated to your biggest pursuits. And if not, all students have the power to create new clubs of their own if they are so inclined.

Sean Comiskey, a senior in the College of Communication, did just that last year. As the first president of Marquette’s Tea Club, Comiskey has created one of the most novel new stu-dent organizations on campus. The Tea Club is exactly what its name denotes: a group of stu-dents dedicated to drinking and discussing tea.

The club made its debut at this year’s O-Fest with a color-ful table and a generous supply of cool, refreshing iced tea. “I drink a lot of tea, and basically

all my friends are really into it,” Comiskey said, standing behind his organization’s table. “So we kind of went for it.”

The club plans to focus on a different tea at each monthly meeting. It will explore the cul-ture, history and origins of the tea before letting members test the drink. Its focus is to bring a love and knowledge of tea cul-ture to Marquette, all the while living by the classic tea motto “It’s all in the steeping.”

Two tables away from the Tea Club at O-Fest sat a table dis-playing a very different world. The Gamer’s Association’s members manned their station by calling out to passersby, “Do you like games?” The club plays Dungeons and Dragons as well as other role-playing games in genres like “cyber punk fan-tasy,” “political dystopia” and “Old West cowboy adventure.” However, it is just as open to childhood classics like Apples to Apples or Candyland.

“We would play Shoots & Ladders if someone brought it,” club scribe Nick Conrardy said. But for Conrardy, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, it’s the role-playing games that tru-ly provide “the ultimate social experience.”

The Gamer’s Association is composed of a close-knit group of members who regularly meet outside of meetings for long role-playing sessions, where they transform from Marquette undergrads into cowboys, myth-ical creatures or warriors.

The association’s vice presi-dent, Peter Gentile, a senior in the College of Communication, summed up his connection to the Gamer’s Association this

way: “Some people act. Some people paint. I play games.”

Next to the gamers at O-Fest was Marquette’s Medieval So-ciety, behind a table festooned with a poster marked “Chivalry isn’t dead yet!” in large calligra-phy. Adding to the display were a battle-worn helmet, a tunic re-plete with chainmail and mem-bers playing the Medieval game 9 Man’s Morris.

This year, the club plans to make origami catapults, study calligraphy, eat original medi-eval recipes and attend an an-nual event called “The Feast of Boar’s Head.”

“Everyone who goes (to Boar’s Head) will dress up in garb like they’re from the Middle Ages,” said club presi-dent Alyson Smith, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences. “We eat medieval food, (and) there are shops and you can watch people fight.”

Fighting practices are another central part of Medieval Soci-ety. Members dress up in metal armor and battle with wooden swords. They reenact duels of the past, all the while tucked away in the practice room next to BookMarq.

Smith admitted that fighting practice involves “mostly men because I think they like hitting each other more than we do. But I don’t know.”

These lesser-known clubs are marked by a love for their pur-poses. Though some spend their time sipping green tea and oth-ers thrive on battles and history, the members of these unique groups share an attitude of ap-preciation, lingering on how lucky they are to have found people who share their passions.

Why won’t that catchy song get out of your head?

Science attempts to explain why ‘Call Me Maybe’ is so addicting

The culprit was the cheeseball ‘80s band The Human League. The weapon was their synth-soaked hit “Don’t You Want Me.” For the past week, this diabolically catchy tune has been stuck in my head.

When I’m in class trying to learn economics, as I cook din-ner or even now as I type this, I am accompanied by the constant presence of the lyrics “Don’t./Don’t you want me?/You know I can’t believe it, when I hear that you won’t see me.” Even worse, I am plagued by the song’s cho-rus, screaming “DON’T YOU WANT ME, BABY? DON’T YOU WANT ME? OHHH!”

I feel like an addict. I have this need to sing the song out loud. I crave the fix of hearing the lyr-ics again and again. But after I shamefully indulge myself, I am confronted by judging stares implying that people decid-edly don’t “want me,” and they

also kind of want to punch me in the face.

We’ve all been here. We’ve been infected by songs like the Kit Kat jingle, “My Sharona” or (God forbid) “Fergalicious.” These fiendish little tunes known as “earworms” can drive us all to the point of insanity.

This phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by the scientific community. Vicky Williamson, a professor of psychology at the University of London, stud-ies earworms and why it is that some songs inevitably get lodged in our brains.

Williamson’s research found that 90 percent of people get a song stuck in their head at least once a week. The research has found music to have a very pow-erful connection to memory. In an interview with NPR’s “Talk of the Nation,” Williamson de-scribed earworms as “a very ef-fortless form of memory” and a “good representation of the original tune that we’re remem-bering.” This can be helpful for things like teaching children, but it is also the root of songs unwar-rantedly repeating in our heads.

Williamson and her fellow re-searchers have also developed a formula to predict a song’s “stickiness,” which increases with simplicity as well as certain

pitches and rhythms. Though the formula is accurate 75 percent of the time, Williamson admits that earworms still remain largely a mystery.

Unfortunately, there is also no proven cure for earworms, like the absurdly addicting “Call Me Maybe,” leaving us all to strug-gle under the influence of asinine pop songs and cheap jingles. As for me, I’m putting my faith in the old adage: Spread the song to someone else and it will leave you alone.

On a totally unrelated note, feel free to give “Don’t You Want Me” a listen.

Animal Collective’s latest album a bad psychedelic trip

By Peter [email protected]

Hectic ‘Centipede Hz’ a bit too much for most listeners’ ears

It has been three years - a rela-tively normal time span for the music industry - since the indie experimental/psychedelic rock band Animal Collective released its last full-length album, “Mer-riweather Post Pavilion.” But for Animal Collective fans, that may seem like ages.

For a band that has released an album almost every year be-tween 2000 and 2009, an unusual amount of time separated “Mer-riweather Post Pavilion” and “Centipede Hz.” Unfortunately, it seems as though Animal Col-lective used this time to develop an album that is unusual and con-fusing.

“Centipede Hz,” Animal Col-lective’s ninth studio album, is a far cry from the group’s previ-ous record. While “Merriweather Post Pavilion” is a mellow record (as mellow as Animal Collective can get), “Centipede Hz” is a venture into a land of organized chaos, where loud crashes and an infusion of white noise and radio interference is considered “ex-perimental” music. And at fifty-three minutes, this music journey is strenuous and tiring.

This dive into organized chaos is a place Animal Collective has been before. “Centipede Hz” is a

return to the band’s louder, more frantic past. The record is filled with nonsensical wailing, out of sync instrumentals and busy theatrics. The psychedelic pop record has the power to paralyze and confuse the listener in the unhealthiest way.

In the album, Animal Collec-tive left no stone unturned, no crevice unfilled. Each second is layered with shrieks and buzzes to annoyingly accompany the band’s lyrics and instrumentals. Every song is plush with noise, an effect that leaves a phony sen-sation after each listen.

Although a vast portion of the album is dedicated solely to busy and synthetic instrumentals, the music is also lyrical. Of Animal Collective’s two vocalists, Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) and Avey Tare (David Portner), the former is far easier to listen to.

Unfortunately for the band and its fans, Portner occupies a ma-jority of the songs, leaving Len-nox and returning band member Deakin (Josh Dibb) to handle the rest. This heavy appearance of Portner is perhaps the most sig-nificant downfall of the album, as his ceaseless screaming is helping no one achieve a satisfy-ing musical experience.

The lead single of the album, “Today’s Supernatural,” is one of the few correct choices the band made. After listening to this song, it is clear why the group chose it to precede the others. The combination of lyrics and noises, including a tolerable amount of wailing, embodies the band’s nature perfectly. It is a

smart, accessible choice for the first single, one that loyal Animal Collective fans and relative new-comers will appreciate.

The rest of the album will un-fortunately leave non-loyalists with a confused, nauseated feel-ing. The incessant clanging of drums, the high-pitched frequen-cy of the radio interference and the jumbled lyrics are all a recipe for disaster for new listeners. Newcomers will be running for

the hills, and most likely their iP-ods, for salvation from the racket the album produces. “Centipede Hz” is indeed an album for only the most devoted Animal Collec-tive enthusiasts.

“Centipede Hz” is a peculiar listening experience. The never-ending bellowing is tough to hear past, and the radio inter-ference is difficult to tune out. There is an endless number of other, more rewarding records,

including earlier Animal Collec-tive work.

In “Monkey Riches,” the eighth track on the album, Port-ner sings “(looking at the sun) makes me wanna wonder how I even wrote this song … doesn’t almost everyone!” Indeed, ev-eryone will want to know how this misguided album ever came to fruition.

The (summer movie) season of my discontent

Matt Mueller

No matter how many times I sleep through my morning class-es (and maybe some of the after-noon ones, too), there’s no ignor-ing the fact that we’re officially a week into the new school year. Labor Day has passed, football season is about to kick off, life has become more hectic and the weather has … well, we’re still waiting on the weather to cool off a bit.

Yep, summer has ended. And I couldn’t be happier. I’m like Leonardo DiCaprio in the begin-ning of “Titanic,” ecstatically waving and yelling goodbye as I set sail for fall (hopefully without the tragic irony).

Confused analogies aside, the summer of 2012 was almost a complete sham, mainly because it might be one of the weaker movie seasons we’ve had. While the oppressive heat in Milwau-kee was a large contributor to my anger, the films were where my disappointment really lay.

True, we started off with a bang in “The Avengers,” one of the better action movies to come out in a while. It was light and not without its imperfections, but it was also wildly entertaining, cleverly written and improbably came through on the years of hype leading up to it.

“The Avengers” should have been the first grand, colorful explosion at the start of an ex-citing firework show. Instead, it was a big bang followed

by a few dim sparklers.One could easily blame the

vampire craze, which led to not one but two bloodless features – “Dark Shadows” and “Abra-ham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” Neither film could figure out whether they wanted to be ridicu-lous campy fun or serious enter-tainment, and as a result failed at both. This was especially the case with “Lincoln,” which seemed to miss the punch line of its own joke.

High expectations might also be the culprit for my disappoint-ment. “Prometheus,” “The Dark Knight Rises” and even “The Expendables 2” came into the summer riding lots of buzz and excitement. Unfortunately, they were all met with mild enthusi-asm at best.

“Prometheus” was entertain-ing and interesting but startlingly sloppy with some storytelling ba-sics (I’m being generous as well; I know several people who think Ridley Scott’s film is the cause of Nazism and most cancers). “Ex-pendables 2” was fun, but still not as wildly entertaining as it should have been considering its cast (Schwarzengger, Willis, Sta-tham, Van Damme – pretty much anyone who ever punched some-thing on screen). The less I say about “The Dark Knight Rises,” the better. Let’s just say that I wish Batman had some anti-plot hole spray on his tool belt.

When it comes down to it, though, the problem with this summer is the problem with Hol-lywood as a whole: Where’s the imagination? Bad or disappoint-ing movies are nothing new for the film industry, but this sum-mer, there seemed to be an in-crease in movies that were just, well, useless. Movies that existed only to exist and to make money.

“The Bourne Legacy” played

like deleted scenes from the pre-vious films, albeit directed by someone in a coma. The “Total Recall” remake didn’t feature a single element that wasn’t deriv-ative of another movie, eliciting words like “soul-sucking” and “an insidious kind of horrible” from critics.

For me, the most shamefully useless movie of the summer was “The Amazing Spider-Man.” It was already dubious to reboot the franchise barely ten years af-ter the first film, and the movie didn’t convince me otherwise. A decade after “Spider-Man,” Sony offered up audiences a nearly identical movie. The lone unique idea – Peter Parker’s true origins – was seemingly removed from the film, under the promise of (get this) using it in the sequels. It’s almost as though the studio is actively avoiding progress and innovation.

I know summer is usually the time for brainless action movies and light fare, but there’s no rea-son for Hollywood to continually play down to exceedingly dimin-ished expectations, especially as ticket prices continue to rise. There were a few gems mixed in with the trash – “Moonrise Kingdom,” for instance – but the stench of withering Hollywood imaginations overwhelms my memory of the past four months. I’m not saying everything the mainstream film industry makes has to be great or revolutionary. It’d just be nice to know that they’re at least trying.

So I say let’s wipe the slate clean and bring on the fall. It’s got a lot of making up to do.

Matt’s movie reviews can be found at onmilwaukee.com. Con-tact him at [email protected].

Bruce Cole is a legend in the Milwaukee music scene.

As a drummer for more than 45 years, he has played with many bands throughout his career. Cur-rently, Cole is a drummer for three bands that perform regu-larly in Milwaukee. In addition to being a musician, he teaches a Marquette class called “The Bea-tles and the British Invasion” and is in charge of curating the Jean Cujé Music Collection, a music archive housed in Marquette’s Raynor Library.

The collection is named after Jean Cujé, a symphonic bassoon player who later became a Mar-quette librarian in 1979. A big music fan herself, Cujé dreamed of having such an archive and was honored with the collection after her death in November 1992.

“Instead of putting a plaque in her memory, we decided to start an archive,” Cole said. “It fell to me because I’ve been a musician in town since the 60s. I love local music and always have, so I’m in charge and I get to devote some of my time to this collection.”

The collection contains CDs, newspapers and other memora-bilia from Milwaukee’s music history. It is mostly donation-driven, although Cole has added some things from his personal collection and has bought a few things over the years.

“This collection reflects the cultural, musical heritage of Mil-waukee,” Cole said. “It’s always been a hard-working, blue-collar world.”

Playing and living in Milwau-kee for more than forty years, Cole and his numerous bands have opened for famous groups such as The Dave Clark Five, The Hollies, The Animals and many others.

Cole’s personal history with the Milwaukee music scene helps

him teach his course “The Beatles and British Invasion,” a seminar available to freshmen in the hon-ors program. The idea for the class came after Cole guest lec-tured in Phillip Naylor’s popular “History of Rock and Roll” class. Naylor is the assistant professor of history.

“I put together this proposal and submitted it, and (the honors pro-gram) just thought it was great. I know a lot about the Beatles and that era and British Invasion and garage rock,” Cole said. “The impact of the Beatles is just such a never-ending phenomenon. They’re probably the only band in the history of popular music where most people on this planet can name at least one of them.”

As for Cole’s favorite Beatles song, it’s “Happiness is a Warm Gun.”

“I’m a tune person,” he said.Having played and lived in the

Milwaukee music scene, he’s seen the city’s different eras and has felt it transform through the years. Cole tells how the Milwau-kee music scene used to be bigger and more visible than it is now. Milwaukee’s downtown area was known for its music venues, and bars were a popular hub for bands to display their talents.

“The amount of music that comes out on a local level is just amazing. There are lots of bands, but their visibility is not the same as in the 60s or 70s,” Cole said. “It was a more naive time. When I started, I had long hair, and people used to stop me and say, ‘You’re in a band.’ Who stops anybody for anything anymore?”

Over the years Cole has given lectures on music simply because he loves it. It’s one of his “top five most important things in life for human beings.”

As for future classes, Cole would love to see Marquette have a complete music department, in addition to the music minor it has only recently started offering stu-dents. He’d love to see “classes on the history of pop music in general ... music classes where people would take primer classes to see where rock and roll came from.”

STAFF EDITORIAL

Don’t let technology keep you from real life

How hard is it to truly unplug? No, not literally — spiritually. At Marquette we hear the university throw around terms like reflection, examen, prayer and medi-tation, but how many students actually take time for themselves?

Last week a Marquette political science professor told her lecture class of 119 students that she would drop their low-est test score at the end of the semester – but only if she could go the entire se-mester without catching a single student on her or his cell phone.

This offer reflects not just how valuable this professor finds unplugging and pay-ing attention in class, but how often she has been frustrated by seeing students just not care about their classes or about show-ing respect for their professors and peers.

And as generous as that offer is, we imagine that someone will inevitably ruin it for everybody. But why? Why do we feel the need to text, Facebook and Tweet constantly? Why do our hands seem to crave our phones every few minutes? Our guess is that it’s because we are afraid of being alone with our thoughts.

We constantly use technology to hide. Who hasn’t pretended to text in order to avoid eye contact or awkward encoun-ters? It’s easy to feign disinterest with so many tools at our disposal. What did our parents do when they felt awkward? They couldn’t hide behind a phone screen. They had to endure the discomfort, and they probably felt awkward less often anyway, because they experienced real social in-teraction on a more regular basis.

Sometimes we are so absorbed with our profiles, friend lists, follow-ers and text messages that we can miss what is right before our eyes.

When was the last time you actually turned your phone off? Off for a day? For a week? How often do you log into Facebook or Twitter? We don’t mean to suggest that social media is inher-ently bad, but we advocate for balance. Everyone needs some time for inward reflection, to collect thoughts and evalu-ate emotions and actions. This sacred time does not necessarily have to be

religious, but it is often spiritual.We know that not everyone at Marquette

subscribes to Catholicism, Christianity or even a belief in God, but the ideals of a Jesuit education can apply to everyone. They should still affect our lives as stu-dents and allow us to develop a deeper knowledge of ourselves and of others. The Jesuits teach the importance of discern-ment, or incorporating insight and under-standing of oneself into decision making. They ask us to question not just what we are doing, but why we are doing it. When was the last time you really applied this type of discernment to your life?

It’s time to unplug and tune in. Listen to yourself and think about what you re-ally want. Are you happy, truly happy? What would you change about your life if you could? How about the way you relate to your family, peers and pro-fessors? These are the questions we should be asking ourselves.

Mary Oliver said it best in her poem, “The Summer Day”: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

Do you plan on spending your life on Facebook? At the end of your life, will it really matter how many texts you sent or friends you had? Be in the moment. When you’re in class, be in class. You’re sacrificing a lot to be a student, so you owe it to yourself to focus on that role while you’re here. Your online social life can wait until class is over.

We get so caught up in trivial matters and distract ourselves with technology so we don’t have to face these quiet mo-ments. We as people are inquisitive and curious about life but often find it diffi-cult to actually take the time to reflect on these questions that may not be able to be answered. We try to act as if we are too busy to contemplate life, but what is life without meaning?

It may be a cliché, but there is value in taking the time to stop and smell the roses. Don’t be afraid of observation and of silence. Make time for yourself. It’s healthy and it’s necessary.

Don Draper is my roommate

COLUMn

On one of his birthdays, my brother Mark scored himself an inflatable punch-ing bag and a pair of boxing gloves. He entered the garage from time to time to beat the pulp out of the thing, ducking un-der right hooks and breaking to patch up a swelling black eye. None of this retaliation was real, of course. Still, he was a speech impediment and a glass of raw eggs away from becoming Rocky Balboa.

And as it turns out, that’s just what he was aiming for. Mark took on the box-ing persona after pounding through the complete “Rocky” series dozens of times, learning more and more about what drives Rocky with each movie. I guess he really had been fighting Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago in the garage. Needless to say, I now take the term “little brother” lightly.

What makes us take on the traits of our favorite characters? Researchers at the Ohio State University published a study earlier this year that examined the way we become lost in our favorite heroes of lit-erature, noting we take on their personas even after a story is complete.

The researchers didn’t give it a name. So for the sake of brevity, I’ll refer to this marvel simply as “characterosis.”

I caught my own case of characterosis when I was younger. About seven thousand “Back to the Future” viewings in, I became Marty McFly. I had no problem wearing my puffy, orange Old Navy vest in the summer

(“What’s with the life preserver?”) and run-ning around town with a confident hop in my step. If only I’d figured out how to fit a flux capacitor on my bike.

That was fun for a kid. But as much as I’d like to end that story here and to write it off as a child’s imagination, I still experience characterosis far too often. It’s not going away, and I’ve started to realize how closely we tie ourselves to screen personas.

It’s not just me, of course. I recently picked up on the characterosis epidemic af-ter my roommate popped in one night. He leaned against the doorway, cigarette and glass of something-or-other in his hand, and rattled off some clever slick talk during the conversation. That “Mad Men” marathon I’d been hearing on the other side of the wall started to make some sense.

And after some thinking, I’ve found the phenomenon incredibly common when you look out for it – all the nuances of our favorites on screen can be found in some-one, it seems. Don Draper is my roommate, Yoda sits next to me in English class and it’s Walter White’s turn to do the dishes. If my housemates and I were like this all the time, it would make for an interesting living dynamic – I’m imagining George Costanza and Michael Corleone sharing a bathroom.

So why not relate to our favorite char-acters? It’s one part empathy and one part unknowing emulation and it’s all in good fun. Maybe we even learn a bit about our-selves when we relate to someone on screen. After all, writers spend endless time and effort crafting their characters to be relatable, complex and ‘human.’ Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Is this some sort of postmodern complex or a desperate escape from reality? It’s a scary proposition. But as much as common sense tells us that characters are based on real people, maybe just the opposite is true. In the meantime, remember I’ve been on a “Breaking Bad” binge, so if you see me any-where near Wehr Chem with a boiling flask, you might want to alert the [email protected]

The football may be fantasy, but the glory’s real

COLUMn

Over the course of my life, my dad has taught me many valuable lessons.

For instance, if there are only a few scoops of your favorite ice cream left in the freezer, you need to hide it. The only time it is acceptable to fake sick in order to skip school is during the early rounds of March Madness. And a healthy mix of hard work, dedication and passion really does pay off.

My dad taught me something even more vital, though. Something that can only be grasped through experience, blood and tears. Something that I can’t even fathom because much to my dismay, I still have yet to accomplish it.

There are few things in life greater than winning a fantasy football championship.

That’s right. I bet you weren’t expecting that one.

This weekend serves as much more than the first full weekend of Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks and the leaves be-ginning to change color. It’s even bigger than NFL season openers and the pure bliss

of finally being able to watch football on both Saturdays and Sundays again.

It’s a pivotal part of the year ... it’s the kickoff of fantasy football.

Here, I could analyze the effects of how the mindsets of many males (and quite a few females) on this campus are about to start revolving around trades, injuries, who to play and who not to play each week; but I won’t do that. I also won’t at-tempt to offer advice. Instead, I’ll team up with the fantasy football gods and send some positive energy and wishes to you, your teams and your sanity over the course of these next 17 weeks.

First, may your favorite team’s victory not contribute to your fantasy team’s loss ... and vice versa.

Let’s have a scenario. It’s Sunday, the Packers are playing the 49ers and Frank Gore is your starting running back. You’re a Wisconsinite through and though, and therefore bleed that Cheesehead spirit. Gore runs all over the Packers’ defense and they lose. Uh oh ... conundrum. Should you be happy that your fantasy running back scored major points for your team in Week 1? Or should you be bummed that the team you’ve followed your en-tire life just got whooped at the hands — or rather, feet — of your player?

Either way, it’s impossible to win them all. Cheer for your teams, deal with the losses and move on. This dilemma is al-ways a tough call, but let’s be real. The last thing you want to do is start wishing that players on your favorite team get injured

so your fantasy team has an easier time.Next, may you stay far, far away from

your lineup on weekend nights.There’s nothing worse than waking

up on Sunday morning and noticing that you’ve slotted someone to play who has been injured for the past five weeks. We all know how weekends go. Things ... happen. Put a barricade around your com-puter, change your password and take an oath. Whatever you do, don’t let those “things” happen to your lineup.

And last, when the newcom-er who knows nothing about foot-ball wins the league, may you recog-nize that it’s inevitable, brush off the frustration and simply laugh.

It doesn’t matter how much research you did over the summer in prepara-tion for the draft. It also doesn’t matter how many spreadsheets you made, how much money you spent on fantasy foot-ball magazines or how much time it took you to come up with a slightly corny but perfect team name. In the end, the kid who put no effort in will beat you ... and will probably win the league.

Don’t get mad. Just smile and embrace that good old loser’s trophy. And in 17 weeks, if you happen to pull off the win (or actually are that kid who knows noth-ing and walks all over everyone else), claim those bragging rights.

After all, there are few things greater than being the [email protected]

Girls aren’t the only ones who cry

I wrote a column last week giving ad-vice to freshmen, and one of the first things I told them was that it’s okay to be homesick. I tried to be a little funny and serious at the same time by adding that it’s normal to call your mom crying at some point during your first semester. Maybe this only happened to me. Maybe it was a slight exaggeration and me try-ing to be funnier than I really am. Or maybe everyone gets homesick.

I was more than a little offended when someone who read my column told me it was really good, but the part about cry-ing home to mom sounded “like a girl thing.” For one, I am a female, so ... I don’t know, “girly” statements find their way into my writing? Whatever. Let’s talk about stereotypes.

Duke, North Carolina await Golden Eagles

By Michael [email protected]

The challenges of taking on two national giants in one weekend would probably scare a lot of teams off. However, this Marquette team is not like most.

The Golden Eagles (3-0-1) travel to Durham, N.C., this week-end to take on North Carolina (2-1-1) and Duke (4-1-0) in the Duke/Nike Invitational.

“We’re going down there to win two games, no ques-tion,” coach Markus Roeders said. “This will no doubt be our toughest challenge yet.”

Both opponents have won mul-tiple ACC Championships and the Tar Heels are the most sto-ried program in women’s college soccer history.

North Carolina head coach An-son Dorrance is now in his 34th season as the Tar Heels’ head coach and has an all-time record of 730-45-27. Under Dorrance, Carolina has won 21 national champion-ships, including 20 NCAA Tourna-ment crows and one AIAW title.

The Heels have won 20 regular-season ACC titles and ACC Tour-nament crowns. During his tenure, Dorrance’s teams have lost only one ACC Tournament match.

“He’s certainly one of the premiere names in our sport,”

Pair of consensus top 15 teams present biggest challenge yet

Roeders said of Dorrance.The Golden Eagles will catch

a bit of a break because of Duke and North Carolina’s player par-ticipation in the Under-20 World Cup in Tokyo.

Following a 2-0 win over Ni-geria on Tuesday, the U-20 team will take on Germany on Saturday in the championship. For the Tar Heels, that means the trio of Bry-ane Heaberlin, Kealia Ohai and Crystal Dunn won’t play against Marquette on Friday.

Heaberlin, a freshman goalkeep-er, was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2012 by Top Drawer Soccer and was expected to com-pete for playing time in net with Adelaide Gay and Anna Sieloff, who have each appeared in at least three matches.

Ohai, a junior forward, is a two-year starter who led the Tar Heels in goals, points and game-winning goals as a freshman, earn-ing First Team All-ACC honors along the way.

Dunn, also a junior forward, is probably North Carolina’s big-gest loss. Dunn won national Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman in 2010 and was cho-sen as the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, despite now having moved to forward.

Dunn was a 2010 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy Award semifinalist and has scored 12 goals and tallied 14 assists in two seasons.

North Carolina is coming off a pair of wins at the Notre Dame Adidas Invitational against Con-necticut and the Fighting Irish.

Good times, good people in Iowa

Column

Through working with Mar-quette Radio, I’ve been lucky to be able to travel with the men’s soccer team to broadcast its games.

Everyone is more than happy for me to come along, something they don’t have to allow by any means, and I am made to feel like part of the team.

This past weekend, I traveled with the squad to Des Moines, Iowa as they took on the Drake Bulldogs.

It all started on Friday, when we left campus at 4 p.m. for Gen-eral Mitchell International Air-port. At the airport, there’s a lot of time to kill before the flight, which the soccer players do with ease.

Some of the topics discussed included senior Anthony Sel-vaggi’s unfortunate chase for the program record of yellow cards. He has 15 and the record is 18. The weekend’s slate of English Premier League games were also discussed.

On the flight itself, the main source of entertainment tends

to be the latest edition of “Sky Mall.” I’ve been told head coach Louis Bennett collects one per trip, and I see why.

Next time you’re on a flight, just look through it and ask your-self why you’d ever buy most of that stuff.

When we arrive, it was straight to the bus and then the hotel. After everyone checked in, we headed off to dinner.

To make some of us feel more at home, we ate at Rock Bottom, which I thought was exclusive to Milwaukee. Nothing like their Mac’n’Chicken to ease the fa-tigue from flying.

Before bed, there was a quick film session on Drake, where the team watched its opponent for the first time. This helps my broadcast as well, as I can fill everyone listening in on what to expect.

The Bulldogs are very direct and have very high work rates. The team got a good idea of the team to sleep on before tactics were discussed in the morning.

After falling asleep, I woke up to watch Arsenal and Liverpool, while everyone else slept. That was delightful for me, and a great intro to breakfast.

women’s soCCeR

Those wins followed a disap-pointing start to the season, with the Heels losing an exhibition match to North Carolina-Wilmington and its regular season opener at Portland.

Junior defender Ally Miller is confident in Marquette’s ability to come into enemy territory and score goals while trying to keep its shutout streak alive, despite play-ing two potent offenses.

“It’s disappointing not to score, so we’ll have to learn from that and get a few this weekend,” Miller said.

The Blue Devils will be without

junior forward Mollie Pathman and sophomore forward Kelly Cobb for their Sunday afternoon meeting with the Golden Eagles.

Pathman has been picked as a Second Team All-ACC selection each of her two years at Duke and is tied for fifth on the Blue Devils’ all-time charts with five multi-goal games. Pathman has been with the U.S. national team since the U-14 level.

Cobb made 22 starts as a fresh-man and was also named to the Second Team All-ACC and scored two goals and four assists in the

Duke/Nike Invitational last season. Cobb was limited by injury last season and had to miss the Blue Devils’ clash with the Tar Heels because of injury.

The Blue Devils rebounded from a 3-2 overtime loss to Florida on Aug. 26 with a pair of wins at the USC Futbol Classic in Los An-geles last weekend. Duke knocked off host USC and Washington State by a combined score of 6-1.

“We know we’re going to have to be on top of our game in order to get two wins,” sophomore goal-keeper Sofie Schunk said.

Lyon takes new role in stride

Before he came to Marquette, Charlie Lyon was always the man in goal. He had never been second fiddle.

As an all-state player in Illinois at St. Charles East High School and also a member of the Chicago Fire Academy team, Lyon is one of the most touted players to come to Marquette.

During his freshman year at Marquette, Lyon tore his PCL and had reconstructive surgery and redshirted.

David Check was the starter then and Keenan Flynn was the backup. That was the first time Lyon had ever not start-ed every game for his team , so he had to adjust to his situ-ation by learning from both Check and Flynn.

“All I could really do was observe,” Lyon said. “One of the things I really watched from them was the level of professionalism they had and the level of consistency th ey tried to play with every sin-gle day.”

In his second season, Lyon was Check’s backup and watched the team have its most successful season under head

coach Louis Bennett. As frus-trating as it was to not play, he couldn’t help but be happy for the rest of the team.

“It was a big time of personal growth, but it was hard,” Lyon said. “The best part of it was seeing my teammates and my competition, Check, succeed and play well and then lead the team onto the best season it’s ever had.”

The one game Lyon start-ed last season came against Wright State in September. In the first half, Lyon came out to clear a ball from just outside his 18-yard box, and miscom-munication with a defender led to a mistake and an easy goal for the visitors. Marquette lost

2-1.It wasn’t the ideal return

to game action for Lyon. As shocked as he was in the middle of the game, he knew he had to continue on and finish the 90 minutes. Lyon finished the game but said that moment hit him hard.

“In that moment, it was kind of like, ‘I can’t believe that just happened. What did I do?’” Lyon said. “That was really tough. I waited for over a year to get the opportunity to play, and here’s my opportunity and I make such a terrible mistake.”

Now, Lyon is the Golden

Soccer, basketball teams will add depth

By Kyle [email protected]

Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on the teams joining the Big East for the 2013-14 season.

TEMPLE OWLS (Atlantic 10)Expert plenty of noise from

women’s basketball at Temple. The Owls have made mincemeat of their foes lately and should carry that same momentum to the Big East.

Over the last five seasons, Temple has compiled a 140-60 record, but it strangely never won a conference tournament during that stretch.

Other teams at the Philadelphia school may be welcoming a change of scenery to the Big East; wom-en’s soccer hasn’t finished a season above .500 since 2000 and has not qualified for the Atlantic 10 Tour-nament since 1995.

CENTRAL FLORIDA KNIGHTS (Conference USA)

Track and field is the go-to wom-en’s sport at Central Florida. The Knights won the 2010 Conference USA outdoor title and the 2011

Newcomers won’t play in Big East until 2013-14 campaign

Conference USA indoor title.Last year the team was ranked for

the first time in the program’s his-tory, reaching as high as No. 8 in the national polls.

Women’s basketball has been shaky recently, however, as the Knights have posted records of 11-16, 22-11 and 12-17 in each of the last three seasons. The Knights will be wanting some stability as they inch closer to playing more chal-lenging competition, but do not count them out as basement dwell-ers in their Big East infancy.

SOUTHERN METHODIST MUSTANGS (Conference USA)

Keep an eye on the SMU wom-en’s volleyball. Although the Mus-tangs had an off year last season (15-17) after finishing 25-6 in 2010, the team has four freshmen and four sophomores on the ros-ter this year. This will be a learn-ing year for these players, and once they get enough experience they just might be giant killers in Big East play.

The basketball team, however, has been less impressive. SMU has only made the NCAA tourna-ment twice since 2000 despite put-ting up seven 17-plus win seasons in that span.

MEMPHIS TIGERS (Confer-ence USA)

Footballers beware: the Memphis women’s soccer team doesn’t mess

big east outlook

around. The Tigers finished 22-1-1 last season en route to a Conference USA championship and an NCAA tournament appearance.

The Tigers are currently ranked No. 24 in the national polls, al-though they have dropped two of their first three matches so far this year. Nonetheless, it will be in-triguing to see how well the Tigers match up with Big East nemeses.

Women’s basketball at Memphis hasn’t been nearly as successful as the men’s squad - the Tigers have not made an NCAA tournament ap-pearance since 1998.

HOUSTON COUGARS (Con-ference USA)

Cougars women’s basketball had a complete fallout last sea-son, finishing 3-26 after going 26-6 the year before and making the tournament.

Although the team will struggle again this year because of its youth (six freshmen on the roster), it will also help Houston pose a challenge to stiffer competition in 2013.

Tennis will be also be a hot top-ic in Houston; the Cougars have put together 10 straight winning seasons, and the team will have matches against teams from the Big East, Big 12 and the SEC, solid preparation for what is to come in the near future.

Lyon: Undefeated start best since turn of the centuryEagles’ starter and has the faith of his coaches and team-mates. Lyon was named Big East Goalkeeper of the Week last week after keeping two shutouts in a week and his third consecutive shutout. H e was named the Marquette Student-Athlete of the Week as well.

Bennett noted how Lyon used his time off the field very well and said the unique situation Lyon fac ed prepared him to be the starter this year.

“He’s turned that time off into positive time,” Bennett said. “There’s not a doubt in his mind that what he’s done and the experiences that he’s had ha ve helped him, which is exactly what we wanted him to do.”

Nick Vorberg is in his first year as the goalkeeping

coach at Marquette and has been thoroughly impressed by Lyon’s performance. He has played for the Mil-waukee Wave of the Major In-door Soccer League since 2003 and knows good goalkeeping when he sees it.

From day one, Vorberg was very impressed with Lyon’s distribution and attitude. If he didn’t know any better, Vorberg said he would have thought this was Lyon’s second or third year as the team’s starting goalkeep-er.

“I felt like he was playing in the position for two or three years,” he said. “He plays that way. He has a junior or senior mentality about him.”

As a redshirt sophomore, that means there is much more to come from Charlie Lyon.

Continued fRom page 16:

we had a few clashes in the Clas-sic 8 conference.

At breakfast, I had to explain the type of player I was in my heyday, and explain why we were robbed when Kettle Moraine beat us my senior year. I’m still bitter.

After breakfast, the team dis-cussed tactics and assigned roles for the game. The coaching staff and team manager Eric Wilde – my roommate for the trip and a Manchester United fan – do a great job of preparing the team and letting them know what to expect.

After the win, Bennett led the cheers on the bus, which were full of spirit, even after 90 min-utes in sweltering heat.

Back at the hotel, after bother-ing Bennett and goalkeeper Char-lie Lyon for postgame interviews, we’re off to Chili’s for dinner. After that, everyone was in bed by 11:00 p.m., because of our

6:10 a.m. flight the next morning.We woke up at 3:45 a.m., and

were gone at 4:10 a.m. I’m a morning person, so I was plenty awake. Getting everyone else up was the issue. I did my best, and eventually got Robb and who-ever else possible going, making for a fun trip home.

Upon our arrival in Milwaukee, I went back to my apartment to sleep, while the rest of the team had to finish up their work at Marquette Gym, then nap before a long day.

I wish I had 1,000 words, be-cause I couldn’t properly de-scribe the fun I had on the trip in the words I have. The team does an amazing job of making me feel welcome and like one of the guys. I know I’m not and know my role, but every trip is still a joy.

The Texas State Bobcats ac-complished quite a feat on Sat-urday in their first game as a full-fledged Football Bowl Sub-division member.

The ‘Cats knocked off Hous-ton 30-13 in the first game of the post-Case Keenum era for the Cougars.

Texas State’s win was no doubt impressive. The Bobcats were a 34-point underdog, and the win forced the resignation of the Cou-gars’ offensive coordinator fol-lowing the performance.

And apparently it was good enough for one AP voter to put the Bobcats 16th in the nation. That’s right, folks.

CSN Bay Area writer Ray Rat-to thinks Texas State’s win was enough to rank the Bobcats ahead of teams like Arkansas, Wiscon-sin and West Virginia.

His rationale was actually pretty good: “Is 16 too generous? Probably. Could they disappear next week against Texas Tech? Hell yes they could. It’s Week 2. But for one night, with so little data in what is always the worst week of the year for drawing conclusions, I’m fine with them where they are.”

The AP poll actually counts for nothing. The BCS doesn’t use it for its rankings even though its pollsters likely watch more games on a given Saturday than the coaches who vote in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll.

I’ll give Ratto the benefit of the doubt on this one. But when the Bobcats lose to Texas Tech on Saturday, they better be gone for good.

Trio opens up about team

By Christopher [email protected]

If you are an avid runner or a fan of popular sports literature, you may have come across the book “Running with the Buffaloes.”

The author, Chris Lear, spent a season with the 1998 Colo-rado Buffaloes on their road to the NCAA Cross-Country Championship.

With 48 hours to go until their first meet of the season, I was for-tunate to join three of Marquette’s cross country runners during their workout Wednesday afternoon as they head into a season with their own NCAA Championship dreams of competing on the big stage.

The team is split into three workout groups depending on each athlete’s respective class schedule. In Wednesday’s noon group, I joined senior Connor Cal-lahan and juniors Spencer Agnew and Mitch Lacy for their run down to the lakefront.

Wednesdays are typically re-served for tempo runs or simi-lar workouts. As the team starts to compete every other week in the latter portion of the season, things may change.

Some of the more experienced runners will tend to do their work-outs and find another opportunity to run during the day.

Coach Mike Nelson outlined

Bike ride a chance to see how squad preps for season lidlifter

Wednesday’s workout as the fol-lowing: a two-mile warmup run to the lakefront from Marquette Gym, followed by leg swings, drills and strides.

The workout is six to seven miles with the first mile com-ing across at six minutes. Each mile that follows will be about five seconds faster.

“This is not a killer workout, but it is something good to keep the legs moving,” Nelson said. “Usu-ally, they are able to recover from this workout after 24 hours, so they should be fine come race day.”

After meeting the runners at the lakefront, they did their drills and were ready to take off. The first half-mile came across at 2:55, which was just a little faster than expected.

Agnew was hanging in there with his teammates the entire way. He broke his foot during the out-door season and had to take ten weeks off before rehabbing and then working out.

He expects to race the entire course and compete at the NIU Huskie Invitational on Friday.

Lacy could contend for one of the team’s top spots, and head-ing into Friday, he feels his con-fidence is high due to his training in the summer.

“Being in Milwaukee over the summer prepared me pretty well to race at a high level,” Lacy said. “We’ve got a good group of guys planning on going out together and doing some work.”

After Agnew drew back from the workout around the third mile and Nelson wrapped up his singing of George Strait, Callahan and Lacy

CRoss CountRy

freed their minds of any talk about the upcoming meet and opened up about the characters on the team.

Drawing on some compari-sons to Texas-native Kyle Merber from the film “The Real Maine,” the senior and junior went on to give themselves the title of “most yoked” or well-built on the squad.

The upperclassmen do their best to make an easy transi-tion for the freshmen from high school to college.

The team’s chemistry between the age groups appears to be at a high level as Callahan and Lacy voiced their love of freshman Andres Tineo-Paz’s Venezuelan accent.

Although freshman Cody Haberkorn is quiet now, the ju-niors and seniors enjoy his compa-ny and believe they will have him talking in no time.

Whether it is seeing people in costumes running along the lakefront or listening to Jack Senefeld’s yelling on a run, the team knows how to make run-ning fun. But come race day, it is all business.

Callahan could be Marquette’s top runner on Friday with Sene-feld and fellow senior Patrick Maag injured, but that does not add too much pressure as he looks to capture an individual victory for the team.

“Luckily, I’ve been in high pres-sure situations before,” Callahan said. “I’ll just do whatever I can to lead the team without them so that they won’t be missed too much. Hopefully, when they’re back, we’ll be even better.”

Marquette Men’s Basketball 2012-13 Schedule

The entire home Marquette men’s basketball home schedule was released Wednesday morning and includes five Saturday afternoon matchups at the BMO Harris Brad-ley Center, the league office announced Wednesday morning. Including four non-conference matchups, Golden Eagle fans will be able to enjoy a total of nine Satur-day contests in 2012-13 on Al McGuire Court.

Four games in three days will test endurance

Shymansky asks squad not to look past Wake, EIU

The Marquette women’s vol-leyball team swept away the competition at the Xavier Invi-tational last weekend but face a much greater challenge at the Ambassador Hotel Golden Ea-gle Classic this weekend at the Al McGuire Center.

The team will host two ranked teams, No. 23 Michigan on Fri-day and No. 25 Northern Iowa on Sunday, as well as Wake Forest and Eastern Illinois in a massive, nine-game round

robin tournament.Coach Bond Shymansky said

that his team is prepared to play a season-high four matches in three days.

“We’re physically ready be-cause that’s what we train all preseason to do,” Shymansky said. “The real challenge is how do you turn the mental page from match to match and from opponent to opponent.”

Two of those opponents, Michigan and Northern Iowa, will likely test the Golden Ea-gles more than any other team this season. Although the team lost to Northwestern two weeks ago, UM and UNI will be the first ranked opponents it will play in 2012.

“There are teams that you want to beat, that you can beat and that you should beat,” Shy-

mansky said. “When you’re playing against programs that are perennial powerhouses and have a long-standing his-tory of success, it takes a lot of team trust and team stabil-ity to be able to fight through matches like that.”

However, Shymansky stressed the importance of not glossing over the perceived lesser teams on the weekend’s schedule.

“The first key is not overlook-ing teams like Wake Forest and Eastern Illinois,” Shymansky said. “Watching them play on video, they’re both capable of beating us if we’re not sharp.”

Junior libero Julie Jeziorows-ki also feels that film will help the Golden Eagles this week-end.

“We’ve watched a lot of film,” Jeziorowski said. “I think it’s

Women’s club sports hope to maintain success

Basketball, volleyball teams aim to reach nationals once again

The Marquette women’s club sports season might feature just as much success as it did last year after several teams played at the highest level possible.

If it hadn’t already, Marquette established itself as a club sports powerhouse last year with wom-en’s basketball and volleyball finishing their seasons on the national stage.

Club basketball pulled off a thrilling, come-from-behind vic-tory to win the ACIS National Championship game 35-33 against Delaware after advancing

to the NCCS Michigan Regionals one year earlier.

That team was led by MVP and All-American Chantal Newman, who returns for her senior year.

She hit plenty of key shots, in-cluding a pair of game-winning free throws in the championship game and showed a knack for the clutch that will carry over into this season.

Newman’s return will help the team continue to compete at the national level and seek back-to-back titles.

Coach Matt D’Amato said he’s looking for new faces to complement the veterans, however, and feels that his team is in line for a big year of growth as a club thanks to its championship pedigree.

“We’re always looking for new players to come. It’s a great ex-perience outside of being suc-

cessful and winning games,” D’Amato said. “We’ll hopefully get more invites. We realize that by winning the national champi-onship that other teams will be looking to beat us.”

On the volleyball court, Mar-quette continued a four-year trend of outstanding play at the national level that started in 2008 with a national title. The Golden Eagles have finished in the top-10 each of the past three years including a runner-up spot in 2011.

Last spring, the team won its NCVF Ranking Tournament beating the likes of Dayton, De-Paul and Loyola-Chicago and battled to a third-place finish in the NCVF Championships.

With the return of two All-Americans in Jennifer Ciriacks and Molly Aikins, the Golden Ea-gles will again look to reach Na-tionals, and both team presidents

Nicole Luke and Hannah Guth believe that a lower finish would be a disappointment.

“I have confidence that we can make it to Nationals again this year,” Luke said. “We’ve qualified and competed the past four years at that level, and our team holds high expectations for each other, which will hope-fully be shown through our effort this year.”

“Our strength really comes in the way that we have bonded on and off the court,” Guth said. “We really are a close-knit squad, and we all bond really well together.”

The women’s club lacrosse team hasn’t quite had the suc-cess its hoped for, but has still grown tremendously in skill and talent since joining the club pro-gram in 2007. The team boasts players from a variety of dif-ferent states including Oregon,

California and New York.The team doesn’t shy away

from tough competition as it par-ticipates in the Women’s Colle-giate Lacrosse League.

The league consists of more than 50 different schools from Wisconsin to New York, making it the largest club lacrosse league in the nation.

Last season the team finished last in the Division I West Re-gion with a record of 3-13 be-hind larger schools Northwestern, Wisconsin-Madison and Illinois. Despite the disappointing finish, Marquette played more games than its regional opponents, offer-ing its players more action.

With two squads positioned for national title runs and the rest poised for major growth in 2012-13, this season has the potential to be just as exciting as last year in women’s club sports.

important to know what the oth-er teams are doing. We’ve also been doing some sprints so we can keep up with the game and not get tired. We’d like to win in three, but you never know.”

The sharpness of the offense and passing game is sure to play a huge role in the Golden Ea-gles’ success this weekend.

“We need to pass and serve better,” Shymansky said. “When we do that really well, we can be super dynamic. When we don’t do that really well, it’s a lot of pressure on our younger players to perform.”

“Our offense is the key to our success,” Jeziorowski said. “It has been for a while. It’s quick and hard to block, and that’s going to be important for this weekend.”

Marquette’s opponents have

to keep an eye on versatile sophomore outside hitter Lind-sey Gosh, whose powerful serves and attacks have taken her team to another level so far in 2012.

“Lindsey Gosh is ready to move up in her role on our team,” Shymansky said. “When she plays well, we’re going to play well. She can have a really big impact that she hasn’t real-ized or fulfilled yet, but she’s on her way to doing that.”

Gosh seems to understand her potential for great success on the court.

“Knowing that my serve is aggressive,” Gosh said, “I’m easily able to pull teams out of system and ace them. For hitting, my power is really im-portant because my intent is to kill the ball.”
