The Syrian government re-quested to keep the U.N.’s team of chemical weapon inspec-tors in Damascus beyond its Sunday deadline, which would prevent the U.S. from tak-ing any military action in the country, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.

According to the Post, the Obama administration believes U.S. intelligence has established that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against rebels in last week’s attack outside Da-mascus.

Elizabeth “Liz” Shinners, ad-junct assistant professor of bio-medical sciences for almost 30 years, died Friday after a battle with cancer. Shinners’ funeral was held Tuesday in Franklin, Wis., according to a Marquette news brief. She was 61.

Shinners worked with stu-dents across various disciplines during her career, including dentistry, physician assistance, medicine, nursing and bio-medical science. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Shinners completed work at Marquette, the Medi-cal College of Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, teaching various topics in microbiology.

Hagel told the BBC Tuesday that the U.S. is “ready to go” and “comply with whatever option the president wishes to take.”

Russia, Syria’s main arms pro-vider and ally, used its position on the U.N. Security Council to veto a resolution condemning the Assad regime’s alleged use of chemical weapons and calling for a response to end it. Accord-ing to Russian authorities, any intervention by foreign powers will only lead to further catastro-phe for the war-torn country and its neighbors.

“The West behaves towards the Islamic world like a monkey with a grenade,” said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on Twitter.

The Wisconsin State Patrol retired one of its five original K-9 program dogs yesterday, following a May amputation of its left leg due to a cancer-ous tumor. The dog’s veteri-narian and master K-9 trainers advised the State Patrol to re-tire him from his duties after the amputation.According to FOX6-Mil-waukee, the dog, Charlie, as-sisted in approximately 1,500

searches resulting in 387 drug-related seizures dur-ing his career, most of which occurred while assigned to the Milwaukee High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area.The trooper Charlie worked most recently with, Chris Lohman of the State Patrol’s Waukesha Post, will take own-ership of him and continue to care for him. Charlie first began his service with the Wisconsin State Patrol in 2006.

Police dog retired after years of service

advising was directed toward students pursuing post-graduate dentistry programs.

In place of flowers, contribu-tions were made to the Bone Marrow Transplant Program at the Medical College of Wiscon-sin in Shinners’ memory.

Samaritan: Policy comes close to a year after alcohol fines introducedresponsible bystanders doing their part to ensure a safer and healthier campus community.”

The policy has been an ini-tiative of Marquette University Student Government in some form or another during the past four years. The policy in its cur-rent form was passed by MUSG at the end of last semester.

MUSG President Sam Schul-tz, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, witnessed the entirety of the GSP de-bate, dating back to his fresh-man year. Shultz said he gives credit to outgoing Schroeder Hall Senator Thomas Schick, a junior in the College of Busi-ness Administration, for finally getting it passed.

“I think the hold-up has al-ways been we got caught up in the ‘how many strikes do people get’ and the whole am-nesty thing,” Shultz said. “Then Thomas and his business ad-ministration committee kind of came at it from this differ-ent angle of ‘no it’s not about the safety,’ but then also leav-ing some of the control in the hands of the officers who are trained in this.”

Schick, who became chair of the business administration committee at the start of last semester, said the policy was a collaborative effort between all members of the MUSG senates that worked on it in the past.

“First of all, there was an in-credible foundation laid when I was a senior in high school,” Schick said. “The ideas were rolling, and there were people pas-sionate enough to debate it.”

Schick also specified that even though the policy was a “de facto” policy al-ready followed by DPS officers, it is important it is now a written policy in the stu-dent handbook.

“We felt that it was very im-portant to have it in print and

have it concrete, because one, it becomes enforceable, and two, it becomes something we

can educate people about,” Schick said.

The Good Sa-maritan Policy comes roughly one year after c o n t r o v e r s i a l changes were made to the Drug and Alcohol Policy, which i n t r o d u c e d fines for policy violations.

Lazzar would not comment

on how much the univer-sity has collected in fines in

the past year, citing concerns over the privacy of students. She said though that all fines collected are going toward drug and alcohol prevention and intervention programs.

Lazzar said the goal of last year’s changes to the Drug and Alcohol Policy was to educate students on the negative con-sequences of dangerous behav-ior. She said she believes this goal is being met based on data the university has collected on alcohol violations.

“The transparency of standard sanctions was beneficial to stu-dents as they made decisions about alcohol use,” Lazzar said in an email. “Additionally, the number of alcohol related dis-ciplinary referrals that will be

published in the 2012 Annual Security and Fire Safety report were down by over 200. Given that for half of 2012 the new policy was in place, it is likely that the policy influenced that decrease in some way.”

Still, one of the policy’s criti-cisms from students has been its alleged ineffectiveness toward reducing underage drinking. Opponents argue that the policy is only pushing drinking off-campus where students are not under the jurisdiction of DPS.

“At the end of the day you can’t stop college students from drinking,” said Matthew Fu-ture, a senior in the College of Communication. “Marquette’s policy is simply pushing them downtown, which makes

it more dangerous.”Schultz said he has mixed

feelings on the policy, but he supports it as a former resident assistant in Straz Tower.

“The fining system is not something that’s awful,” he said. “Yes, it stinks that you have to pay a fine, and yes they should be telling students where that money is going and how much they’re collecting, and being fully transparent in that entire process.

“However,” he continued, “if it lowers rates of dangerous ac-tivity, as an R.A. it was hard to look on it horribly if it was go-ing to stop the residents in the building I was in from having super crazy party nights.”

While the Good Samaritan Policy offers amnesty to students who call for help, it does not protect against MPD issuing citations for underage drinking.

Provost: Committee begins nationwide search for new MU Provost“This plan outlines the need

for the Marquette community to embrace new and collaborative methods of teaching, learning, re-search and service so that students are prepared for lives as change agents and problem-solvers in a world of growing complexity,” the profile states.

Since the provost search is being conducted on a national level, Su said the committee is still focusing on finding suitable candidates. Su said he is hoping to get the cam-pus community involved with all stages of the search and is taking nominations for the role.

“To preserve anonymity, the campus community is invited to send nominations directly to Isaa-cson, Miller,” Su said. “The cam-pus community will participate again when we bring finalists to campus in January.”

Marquette University has al-ready had a series of opportuni-ties to aid the provost search, including chances to revise the Opportunity and Challenge Pro-file. According to Su, Marquette University Student Government provided plenty of input.

“The biggest thing we want from a new Provost is a

collaborative relationship with students and student govern-ment,” said Sam Schultz, MUSG President and a senior in the Col-lege of Arts & Sciences. “We started conversations with Pro-vost Pauly regarding changes to advising on campus, and we would love to continue those con-versations with (…) the new pro-vost in the future.”

Mark Eppli, a member of the Provost search committee and finance professor at Mar-quette, is looking for candidate qualities that will further the university’s strong,

Jesuit tradition.“Leadership, mission orienta-

tion, self-awareness and global awareness, fiscal discipline and the ability to gracefully commu-nicate fit into our institution,” Eppli said.

This is a great time to be a student at Mar-quette, and I bet it will be even greater in the years to come.”

John Su, professor of English

Su said he is very ex-cited about the changes that are underway.

“This is a great time to be a student at Marquette, and I bet it will be even greater in the years to come.”

MU historic buildings’ internal work to begin in upcoming summer

Construction on Sensenbrenner Hall, Marquette Hall, and Johnston Hall is on schedule and expected to be completed in fall 2014.

Thomas Ganey, vice president of planning and university architect, said the construction team is nine months into the three-year project.

“The expectation is that in May, Sensenbrenner will be complete,” Ganey said. “Johnston will un-dergo the bulk of its work begin-ning in summer of 2014. The main focus here is that the work is re-lated to infrastructure – heating, cooling, plumbing.”

Administrative offices for the College of Arts & Sciences, in-cluding the English, philosophy, history and theology departments, will move to Marquette Hall and Sensenbrenner, while the College of Communication will receive other enhancements in Johnston once the other projects are com-plete. Coughlin Hall, the current home for the moving Arts & Sci-ences departments, will undergo renovations of its own after the de-partments move.

Ganey said the project is “a re-investment in historic buildings.” The university opened Marquette Hall and Sensenbrenner in the 1920s, making them two of the old-est academic buildings on campus. Sensenbrenner housed the Univer-sity’s Law School before Eckstein Hall opened in 2010.

James Marten, chair and pro-fessor of the history depart-ment, said he looks forward to his department’s future move to Sensenbrenner.

“It will feature the department in a different way,” Marten said. “There will be public areas to dis-play awards and books, a kiosk in the lobby for students to access information, and a flat screen TV in the entrance.”

Marten agreed with Ganey about the project being a reinvestment

in historic buildings, adding that “the project deals with respecting it as an old building, but now with modern office space.”

Philosophy offices in Cough-lin Hall are experiencing prob-lems with wasps and previously experienced problems with leaks and flooding. The move to Mar-quette Hall will allow the time and space necessary to begin renova-tion in Coughlin Hall. Ganey also said Coughlin Hall will eventu-ally house Student Disability

Service, Student Education Ser-vice, and Education Opportunity programs and offices.

The new Marquette Hall will pro-vide classroom space, conference rooms, seminar rooms and advis-ing offices all in the same building.

James South, chair of the phi-losophy department, also said he is glad to leave the philosophy offices in Coughlin Hall.

“It will be a student friendly environment,” South said, “a place for hanging out, using the

Wi-Fi, sitting in a comfy chair, or studying.”

South said that because Mar-quette Hall will house the philoso-phy, English and theology depart-ments, the new facility will create a community of learning within the three departments. He said he believes faculty-to-faculty interac-tion within the building will spark interdisciplinary learning and benefit students directly.

“Putting us in what we like to call the ‘historic core’ of the

campus shows Father Pilarz’s and the university administration’s commitment to the College of Arts & Sciences and its importance to the identity of Marquette,” South said. “(The new building) will fa-cilitate our ability to be more acces-sible to students, interact more with students, and enhance our presence on campus.”

“What’s most promising here is that this is a new beginning for the department and a new way of being at Marquette,” South said.

Renovated Sensenbrenner will include humanities offices as well as student study spaces and a layout that encourages departments to work together.Photo by Rebecca Rebholtz/[email protected]

David Krause, director of the Applied Invest-ment Management program, noticed a growing trend over the past few years: Students and individuals in the workforce desire diverse academic o p p o r t u n i t i e s . Krause decided to take action by bringing a massive open online course on applied investing to Marquette, the first of its kind.

Students in the four-week

survey of investing course will learn about investment tools such as common stock, bonds, real es-tate and alternative investments. The self-paced course is open to anyone in the university and begins Sept. 23.

“I designed the course where there is one lesson per day,”

Krause said. “But theoretically, a stu-dent could com-plete all the lessons and assignments in a linear fashion.”

Over the sum-mer, Krause re-corded all the lec-tures and designed all the assignments for the class, which makes it pos-sible for students

to complete the class on their own time.

Krause said a second inspiration

for designing this MOOC was that over the years, he said he felt he had given lectures that he wished he had recorded and been able to share with students.

“I’ve always wanted to be able to archive my lectures for those students who may have missed a class or wanted to go back and study it,” Krause said. “Now the technology to do this is available through different programs.”

The course is open to the first 1,000 people who enroll and will be not be graded. As a result, the class will not count for college credit.

be really attractive for business students who haven’t had much investing experience.”

Business Administration with a certain major to explore interdisciplinary coursework.

“This class is a pretty interest-ing idea,” said Thomas Hayes, a junior in the College of Business

A d m i n i s t r a -tion. “This type of class might be really attrac-tive for busi-ness students who haven’t had much investing experience.”

Krause de-signed the course in a way that does not take the place of a Marquette

course. Instead, he believes people who are self-motivated will sign up for the class. For this reason, Krause said the retention rates of information may be higher than an

average survey class. He believes individuals will take the class with a purpose and learn a great deal about investing because of it.

Only a small number of schools have employed a MOOC, includ-ing Brown University and Santa Clara University. Krause believes that Marquette is among the first to offer a MOOC on applied invest-ing. He also noted that the average age of an individual taking this type of class is 35 years old.

Some say an open class gives students outside the College of Business Administration the op-portunity to take a class on in-vesting they normally would not be able to take.

“I think this is a great idea,” said Jasmine Hempel, a junior in the College of Communication. “In-vesting can be considered a life skill, and this class could be re-ally helpful. I’ll definitely consider taking it.”

Just as appreciating art needs critical thinking and aesthetic awareness, it’s also about making a personal connection.

This fall, the Haggerty Muse-um of Art on Marquette’s campus is presenting an exhibit that ex-plores the personal side of choos-ing art and embraces the close connection between the museum and the campus community. “Re-seeing the Permanent Collection: The Viewer’s Voice,” will be on display through Dec. 22, featur-ing a collection of favorite works from the Haggerty’s permanent collection chosen by Marquette stu-dents, faculty and administrators.

P a r t i c i p a n t s searched through the online catalog of 2,100 images from the Hag-gerty’s perma-nent collection, only a fraction of the museum’s full collection of 5,000 works. They then chose their favorite art-work ranging from the Renais-sance to present day.After the pieces were selected, John Los-cuito, the Haggerty registrar, took viewers to see the art in the Hag-gerty’s vault.

“It made a big difference be-cause some people, because of scale, texture, or color, had a dif-ferent impression of the work, so that was an important shift when you see details you couldn’t see online,” Loscuito said.

After participants finalized their pick for favorite work in person, Lynne Schumow, cura-tor of education at the Haggerty, asked the viewers to write about a personal connection they felt with the work, avoiding the pre-tension sometimes associated with art criticism.

“(This project) is a great way to learn visual literacy and to think in a different way. There is some-thing for everyone to use here in an educational way and also in an enlightenment way,” Schumow said. “We wanted some sort of personal connection that would make this really different,” Schumow said.

University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz participated in the exhibit, selecting the oil painting, “The Lamentation of Mary Over the Body of Christ with Angels Holding the Symbols of the Pas-sion,” by Spanish Renaissance artist Juan Correa de Vivar. The piece depicts an emotional scene between Mary and Jesus in the passion story from the Bible.

For Pilarz, the work captures the importance of emotion in Je-suit teaching.

“One of the great geniuses or great ideas that Ignatius had was this connection between emotion and religious experience, that it

wasn’t simply a matter of the head or thinking about religion, but you wanted people to react emot iona l ly and directly with reli-gious real-ity,” Pilarz said.

Scott Dale, an associ-ate professor of Span-ish, reflected on “Dolo-res,” an abstract work by Spanish painter Antonio Saura. A mess of color and tex-ture, the work displays the artist’s raw emotion. Every semester Dale brings his classes to see this work among others by Span-ish artists. Expressing feeling about the art is familiar to Dale with his classes taking the first step towards interpretation every

semester as they view the work.

“It’s a big ball of emo-tions,” ex-plained Dale, “and in the end it is re-ally the hu-man element this work cap-tures.”

E l i z a b e t h Owen, a se-nior in the College of

Arts & Sciences and a student guard at the Haggerty, picked a mixed media piece, “Dual Per-sonality,” by Lucia Stern that depicts two figures connected in a meditative pose. For Owen, it revealed a contrast.

“(The image) is so serene and that was what attracted me to it,” Owen said. “I feel like many as-pects of my life are needlessly chaotic and to come across an image that so starkly contrasted my internal existence, it gave

Haggerty features MU favoritesme things to con-sider.”Sarah Wad-

sworth, director of u n - dergraduate

s t u d i e s at Mar-q u e t t e ,

chose art-ist Kara

W a l k e r ’ s etching “no

world” for the way the image recalls her work in 19th century

American Litera-ture. In making a connection, Wad-sworth said she also drew upon

her experience “early on in her college years in phys-ics and math.”

For Wadsworth, the work evolved when she realized that the image was not one of na-tional mythmaking, but rather a take on Plymouth.

“The plant isn’t corn, but it turns out to be tobacco and the slave doesn’t fit, but what drew me to the piece was the shared cultural understanding all Ameri-cans have from preschool on,” Wadsworth said.

Daniel Flesch, a student guard and junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, chose “Figaro,” a work by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. The piece is a statue depicting Fi-garo, a figure from music Flesch was immediately drawn to as a musician himself. Flesch, with his experience in the Haggerty, found the writing initially de-manding.

“Constructing it is a challenge because you want to come off appropriate and proper,” Flesch said, recalling the writing pro-cess. “It was a different type of challenge for me. I was taking or-ganic chemistry at the time.”

Again and again, the viewers explained what a treasure the

Haggerty is for Marquette.“(The Haggerty) is not only

important to Marquette, but an asset to all of Milwaukee,” Pi-larz said. It’s an important point to remember with a campus centrally located in Milwau-kee, the largest urban population center in Wisconsin.

Marquette has a priceless mu-seum full of artwork readily available on campus and next to classrooms. The museum sends the treasures in its vault to exhibi-tions around the world, including

I recently learned a young Si-mon and Garfunkel played at Marquette in 1956, Pearl Jam and the Smashing Pumpkins visited campus in the ‘90s, and Louis Armstrong played Mar-quette High in 1958. Marquette even saw the masterful stylings of pseudo-reggae toolbag Shag-gy in 1994, if, you know, terrible music is more your thing.

The university’s digital ar-chives are full of these random Marquette facts. You can find pictures of Martin Sheen receiv-ing his honorary degree in 2003. There is an account of famous graffiti artist Keith Haring paint-ing a mural around the Haggerty museum’s construction site in 1983. You can even find records of then-candidate Richard Nixon visiting in 1956, John F. Kenne-dy talking to Marquette’s young Democrats in 1959, Jimmy Cart-er speaking in Marquette Hall in 1976 and a Democratic primary debate held in the Alumni Me-morial Union in 2004.

I first started ferreting through Marquette’s digital records last year to research a story on a journalism alumnus. But I found myself returning to the collec-tion with no particular goal in mind, pouring over the impres-sive digital archive, especially issues of the old Marquette year-book, The Hilltop, published from 1915 to 1996.

Beyond photos of each year’s events and students, The Hilltop often featured long articles at-tempting to capture the zeitgeist on campus each year. The ‘90s yearbooks were worried about the grunge of Nirvana going mainstream, the ‘60s talked of protests and counter-culture at Marquette, the ‘80s praised the rise of MTV.

There is Marquette’s reflec-tions on the huge news events — wars, social movements, political scandals — as well as more personal, and surprisingly creative and candid pieces like lyrics to 1977’s “College De-generate Blues,” essays criticiz-ing different campus policies or clubs and always (always!) de-scriptions of the best places to drink on campus.

Reading these records began as a sort of aimless fact find-ing, looking for brushes with fame, seeing the changing fads in bands, music and hairstyles (the feathered hair of the ‘70s is glorious, by the way).

I even found Chris Farley’s picture in 1984, which looks as

though he must have missed pic-ture day, with his photo pasted in haphazardly.Every other student in Farley’s section of the yearbook is soft-touched with a por-trait background and your standard school photo pose. Farley’s picture, instead, has a white background, and the look on his face says “I may or may not be drunk right now.”

I love that sort of stuff, those moments and connec-tions in Marquette history that, looking back, are significant. But soon I learned these yearbooks had more than semi-fun facts. I suddenly realized I could prob-ably find my parents in the col-lection. I don’t know why I didn’t realize it originally, but one day I scrolled through the 1977 year-book and realized it was the year both my parents graduated before getting promptly married at 21.

They were easy to find: my dad with his ‘70s glasses, plaid dinner jacket, and wild hair that, though the yearbook is black and white, I knew was red. My mom in her turtleneck and Dorothy Hamill hair, at the exact age I am now, at the exact university where I sit, in a yearbook that complained about the lack of jobs for journalism graduates, the Marquette basket-ball season (led by Al McGuire) and debates over Marquette’s role within the city of Milwaukee. My parents pictures from the Marquette yearbooks in 1977 and 1976.

I guess I always realized that there was this connection between the Marquette of today and the

Marquette of my parents, but seeing the names printed, reading inside jokes I don’t quite get, seeing fashions coming and going, seeing the fa-miliar buildings I know amid a world I’ve only heard stories about made me feel a profound con-nection to history like I rarely have.

The Hilltop went out of print in 1999 after experi-menting with a vinyl album ver-sion in the ‘70s, fitting for its era, and moving to CD after 1996, definitely fitting for its era. And in our era, we moved these 82 volumes and more than 28,000 pages to the Internet.

Reading The Hilltop makes

me feel more connected to his-toric events, but it makes me feel even closer to Marquette. As I look around campus now, I feel an appreciation of how much has changed with the days of women in dresses and men in ties making way for T-shirts and athletic shorts. But I also feel how much remains constant. Discussions that seem conten-tious today have been talked about for decades. Milwaukee has always been cold. Beer has always been good. Marquette has always been home.

New addition to alcohol policy leaves questions unanswered

ugh. trying to understand this alcohol policy makes me want to have a drink.

After a night of heavy drinking, your best friend is vomiting, nearly unresponsive and clearly in trouble. What do you do?

Do you call the Department of Public Safety for help and risk getting your friend and yourself in trouble? Or, do you do nothing, call no one, and take care of your friend to the best of your ability?

Thanks to Marquette’s new “Good Sa-maritan Policy,” individuals will officially be able to seek help from DPS without fac-ing the more severe repercussions of the university’s Drug and Alcohol Policy.

The Good Samaritan Policy states that students reporting to DPS will not face formal Marquette disciplinary actions or sanctions for alcohol or drug violations relating to the event, though the university reserves the ability to assign educational consequences and the incident will be re-corded. The policy does not, however, pro-tect students from possible police action and would not serve as a “get out of jail free” card for students.

Although Marquette University Student Government and the administration de-serve commendation for instituting a Good Samaritan Policy similar to what several other Jesuit schools already have in place, there is still one major question left pub-licly unanswered: what happens to the in-dividual in need of medical attention?

If students in need of help will still be culpable for their actions and face univer-sity sanctions, it stands to reason that a

friend’s loyalty may well outweigh com-mon sense, especially if all parties involved are intoxicated.

In border line instances where it is un-clear if a student is in need of medical at-tention, students will be much less likely to call DPS for help knowing that their ac-tions will eventually lead to their friends facing university sanctions.

Despite how far the university has come in implementing this policy, few details are known about the policy itself.

In contrast to the alcohol policy insti-tuted last year, which was well publicized and well explained to a point, details of the Good Samaritan Policy have been few and slow to come. The email that Christopher Miller, vice president for student affairs, sent out Tuesday seemed more of an after-thought than a priority.

With a policy that has the potential to be as popular as this, why would the univer-sity not publicize it more, especially when it is a student health and safety issue?

The alcohol policy, of which the Good Samaritan Policy is the newest addition, has changed significantly over the past few years. Unfortunately with the large degree of change, there has not been an equal amount of explanation. This leaves students wondering exactly when and how they are liable for university sanctions.

These new policies demonstrate that the administration’s top priority is not collect-ing fines or getting students in trouble, but rather ensuring student health and safety. Now the administration needs to focus on communicating both the new Good Sa-maritan Policy and the enduring Drug and Alcohol Policy instituted last year.

Ladies and gentlemen, a dreaded event is upon us. It’s not the completion of syl-labus week. It’s not the inevitable influx of DPS reports. It’s not even the fear of being called a freshman. No, this week marks the start of a campuswide epidemic: the question shuffle.

I took some artistic liberty with its no-menclature, but we all know exactly what I’m talking about: that awkward yet oblig-atory rotation of questions which suddenly becomes our form of communication. We shuffle with the familiar faces we don’t know well enough to have a real conver-sation with. It’s the alternative to avoiding eye contact on Wisconsin Avenue.

The shuffle starts move-in week with “how was your summer?!” Responses vary from “great” to “good” and maybe even “fantastic.” If you’re talking to some-one other than that girl you did a group project with freshmen year, you might even get some geographical details, “I was home / in Milwaukee / Italy.” He or she will then return the favor, to which you might even add a head bob as you say “so much fun.” The hope is the two of you will then part ways. If the odds are not in your favor, you awkwardly continue walking in the same direction through the AMU.

I may be going out on a limb here, but

I’m pretty sure that the ex-boyfriend of my friend’s roommate from sophomore year who I now awkwardly run into every cou-ple of months, doesn’t care how my sum-mer went. I appreciate that you are trying to be friendly, but let’s be real, if you’re asking how my summer went then you don’t know I really didn’t have much of a summer at all. I moved back from Chile in mid-July and then spent a month trying not to say “gracias” when someone would hold the door open for me.

Despite how exhausting and dull the shuffle is, I will still be tak-ing part this year. As a senior, I have practically mastered where the next few months will take us:

Mid-September, we will switch into “how are your classes going?” Then we will make our way to “how are your midterms looking?” Then fall break, then the anticipation of Thanksgiving, then how Thanksgiving went, then fi-nals prep and Christmas, and voila! We’ve finished the semester.

To put it simply, the question shuffle is the continuous recycling of “how was your (insert holiday here)?” Answers will re-main relatively constant. Of course every rule has an exception, so get excited for the ever-mysterious inquiries about mid-terms and finals. They could be anywhere from, “not too bad” to “absolutely hor-rible” to “pretty good, actually.” Think of all the options!

For those of you who are fans of the shuffle, don’t worry: It’ll start right back up again in January as we anxiously await the answer to, “how was your winter break?”

Let me guess, it was “so great to be home,” but you are “glad to be back.”

A friend of mine said last year that he was sick of the popular social, viral web-site Buzzfeed. I had just discovered the buzz worthy site at the time and did not agree with him.

I was entertained by its lists and looked forward to what ridiculous compilation it would feature next on the site. I did not

think Buzzfeed was that bad — until I found out that Buzzfeed considers itself a news outlet.

That is when I saw what my friend was talking about. Buzzfeed by the loosest sense of the word is a news gathering agen-cy. It has a branch of the website devoted to news, and I believe that its efforts in the news section could only be called aggrega-tion if you were being incredibly generous.

It might be because of my three years at Marquette learning to be a journal-ist, but I just cannot consider Buzzfeed a serious journalistic voice when every other post is about cats.

Buzzfeed takes the news and pres-ents it in some sort of ridiculous GIF-filled post featuring clips from popular movies and pop culture. Then it takes ideas going viral on other sites, re-brand them and presents them in an attempt to gain more hits on the site.

Even though I disagree with its journal-istic labeling, Buzzfeed is doing one thing right — it is separating itself from the bor-ing, cookie-cutter online newspaper.

Ever since newspapers started the digi-tal transition, there have been problems. It does not really seem as though anyone knows how to effectively transition the newspaper to the Internet, and until we fig-ure it out, the media is just going to be a series of experiments.

Buzzfeed can generate buzz. The site has viral capabilities and its posts stand out, but Buzzfeed just is not what I imagined the future of American news media would be when I started showing an interest in journalism nine years ago.

I knew from my second day at Mar-quette, when I had my first class with Ste-phen Byers, and he told us that we live in interesting times, that the future of journal-ism could be anything imaginable.

When I was little, I practically worshiped newspapers and held them to the highest regard. I loved seeing names in print so much that when my byline was published for the first time in the Franklin Park Ga-zette (for my first ever book review in fourth grade), I bought three copies and would not let anyone touch them.

I always imagined my future would be something like that. Seeing my name ev-eryday in print and having my words go out to thousands of readers daily. Today, I have a different view brought on by Buzzfeed and the failing print medium.

It may not be the future I imagined when I was growing up, but it is the fu-ture that I am learning to embrace, and at the end of the day, I still think my byline will be everywhere.

Women aim for five straight

With 17 straight winning sea-sons, five NCAA Tournament appearances in a row and four consecutive Big East American Division titles, it’s safe to say the Marquette women’s soccer team has had its share of success.

Ranked No. 20 in the latest national poll, the Golden Eagles are poised to have yet another memorable fall campaign.

“More than anything, we’ve established consistency,” head coach Markus Roeders said. “We’re on a rock solid founda-tion with our program and the players that we have and are coming in. They’re buying in to what we’re trying to do. They have a win-ning mental-ity. They’re embracing our tradition and our style of play.”

Roeders is trusting his eight seniors will act as role models for the team and use their ex-perience from high-intensity NCAA Tour-nament and Big East matches to help new players adjust. At the same time, he knows in order for the seniors to earn their coveted fourth-straight Big East title, it will take a team effort.

“I think that’s maybe one of the most difficult things for them to attain,” Roeders said. “I think they have very high expecta-tions, maybe even higher than what (the coaching staff) has. They are trying to lead their way for the year and at the same time they also understand they can’t do it themselves. Everybody on this team has to do their part, no matter how big or small.”

Senior midfielder Taylor Madi-gan realizes that although a Big East Championship would cap off her remarkable Marquette career, nothing is guaranteed.

“We definitely want to get an-other Big East Championship, but it’s all going to depend on

how we’re doing this season and how we all come together,” Madigan said. “We can’t really bank on that now. We have to keep working hard and hopefully it’ll pay off in the end.”

The Golden Eagles will be a relatively youthful squad this fall with 13 freshmen on the ros-ter. Senior midfielder Maegan Kelly wants this season to teach lessons to the young players who will no doubt need to carry on the strong reputation Marquette has formed.

“I would just say soak ev-erything up each day and work as hard as possible, because working hard helps the person right next to you and working hard helps you,” Kelly said.

The team’s season already started with a loss to nationally ranked Portland Friday and a comeback win at defending Big Sky Conference champion Port-land State Sunday. The sched-ule remains challenging for the time being as the Golden Eagles

battle No. 4 UCLA tomorrow in South Bend, Ind.

Having a de-manding sched-ule to start the season will make better prepare the Golden Eagles for league play. Mar-quette will also face Oakland Uni-versity, Colorado College and Col-gate, all teams that competed in the NCAA Tourna-ment last year. In

the new Big East that will only have one regular season champi-on rather than two, Marquette is among the favorites along with Georgetown.

“We want to have a really good non-conference slate and do well there because I think that will catapult us into the con-ference season,” Roeders said. “Arguably, us and Georgetown are the favorites and we have them at home in October. That might come down to being the match of the year in the Big East.”

Marquette has not lost at home since Oct. 30, 2011 and finished 10-0-1 at Valley Fields last sea-son en route to an 18-2-3 season. The team’s first home match is scheduled for next Friday against Saint Mary’s as a part of the Marquette Invitational.

This time last year, Mar-quette’s men’s soccer team was unranked and was not expected to have the 16-4-1 season it did. The team now stands at 12th in the country on the preseason NSCAA rankings, prepped for another great run.

The disappointing 4-4-1 finish after the 12-0-0 start left the squad hungry to rebound, but overall, the team views last season as a monumental success and hopes to build on it.

“I wouldn’t say we flut-tered out (last season), I’d say quite the opposite. I’d say we went out swing-ing,” coach Louis Bennett said. “Obvi-ously, I would have liked to change the results, but I don’t know that we would have done anything dif-ferently. We were what we were and I was pretty proud of what we were.”

In terms of personnel, not much has changed. The de-fense returns all of its start-ers along with redshirt junior goalkeeper Charlie Lyon who is considered one of the top keep-ers in college by Top Drawer Soccer.

On offense, the loss of lead-ing scor-er Andy

Reinvigorated attack could improve 16-4-1 record from last year

Huftalin removes a key piece of the attacking threat. How-ever, redshirt sophomore C. Nortey, Marquette’s 2011 lead-ing scorer as a freshman, returns after sitting out last year due to an offseason knee surgery. Nortey played his freshman season while injured and still led the offense with 20 points (9 G, 2 A). The recovery process caused problems for Nortey, but he said he feels healthy and ready to contribute.

“Now that I’m back and I’m do-ing really great, I feel a little extra sharp,” Nortey said. “I feel like I am going to contribute well for the team, because I feel good and my knees are well.”

Senior co-captain Bryan Cie-siulka, the highest ranked Mar-

quette player in Top Drawer Soccer’s top 100 pre-season rankings, solidifies the midfield with great play up and down the field.

Though the new confer-ence brings new faces, the players expect to play every game the same way.

“It doesn’t matter who we play,” Ciesiulka said. “We’re go-ing to go out and look at every game the same way expecting to win that game.”

Among the many match-ups to watch, the Marquette rivalry with Wisconsin-Milwaukee for the Milwaukee Cup is one of the first challenges for the Golden Eagles. The local rivalry goes back to 1972 and Milwaukee owns the 27-10-3 overall record. Last sea-son, the game ended with a last second half-bicycle kick by ju-nior midfielder Sebastian Jansson to win the game 3-2 and reclaim the Milwaukee Cup.

A city is not all the two teams share. Coach Bennett was the Mil-waukee coach for ten years before crossing sides to lead Marquette. Though Bennett does not believe that the switch has changed the ri-valry, there have been some subtle increases in attendance since his transfer.

“It’s been hotted up since I’ve been here,” Bennett said. “I don’t necessarily believe that, but there’s definitely been an increase in attendance. It’s definitely a cup that’s been around a long time. It’s a trophy that’s worth having.”

The quest for a season of bril-liance to capture the College Cup begins this weekend at 7:30 p.m. at Englemann Field on Milwau-kee’s campus as Marquette plays Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Some athletes play well enough to become household names at one point in their careers. Over the summer, Ryan Braun did so a sec-ond time for all the wrong reasons.

Here was a promising young tal-ent who had the hearts of Brewers fans in the palm of his hand. In just a few months, he threw it all away.

The national media, other play-ers and fans have done an effective job vilifying him as a boldfaced liar. But what’s most intriguing now is what he’ll do next.

Brewers fans are understand-ably heartbroken over one of their team’s players cheating and spewing mistruths about it. As human beings, however, we can all sympathize with the desire to correct a mistake.

Braun took “step one” by for-mally apologizing last week in the form of a letter to the fans. Based on the text of that letter, improving his humility and attitude toward the situation should be his next step.

Within the three-paragraph state-ment, Braun managed to use “I” 23 times. By making himself the subject of nearly every sentence, he comes across as totally selfish.

He also expressed that he came forward because, “I knew it was time for me to tell the truth and ac-cept my punishment.” In the age of digital media where most fans stay constantly informed on cur-rent events, it’s not exactly “telling the truth” if they’ve already heard it from everyone but you.

It gives the impression of talk-ing down to his audience’s intel-ligence, as does another claim that there were “no excuses” for his actions.

If there are no excuses for tak-ing performance-enhancing drugs, then why take them at all? Rather than using the tired, clichéd cop-out, Braun should explain the pres-sures behind his decision and his experience of the drugs’ effects. That would at least be beneficial to public understanding of baseball’s ever-permeating issue.

It’s too late for Braun to take the Andy Pettitte route by being hon-est early on and humbly playing out the rest of his career. To that point, however, Pettitte was never the centerpiece of an entire fran-chise. That’s what makes Braun’s response so important.

To his credit, Braun was right about the system being “flawed” when he gave his now infamous statement of innocence a year ago. The fact that he and others were able to outfox the MLB’s drug pol-icy means more explanations and “apologies” will follow.

Unlike Pettitte, it’s highly un-likely that what Braun does be-tween now and the end of his ca-reer will save his image, although it will certainly set a standard for the perpetrators of years to come.

Fans won’t let Braun off the hook yet

Great expectations for volleyball rookiesShymansky adds six to roster including rising star Bailey

In each of his previous four seasons at Marquette, coach Bond Shymansky brought in a true impact star that either played immediately or paid dividends down the road.

In 2009, he had Dani Carl-son. In 2010, Julie Jeziorowski joined the program. In 2011, Bond nabbed Lindsey Gosh, whose true skill didn’t show until last season. And in 2012, Erin Lehman showed flashes of brilliance as the teams best pure outside hitter.

This season, a group of six freshmen will try to fill the shoes of the impact play-ers that came before them. Through pre-season practice and Saturday’s s c r i m m a g e , B u r l i n g t o n , Ontario native Autumn Bai-ley looks most likely to step into the star freshman role.

“Autumn is super dynam-ic, jumps real high, hits hard, can do all of the skills very well and is really competi-tive,” Shymansky said. “She’s pretty experienced, having played with the Canadian Junior National Team.”

Bailey played in the front and back row during the scrimmage, which is a simi-lar role to the one Gosh held for the team last season. Bai-ley also played nearly the en-tire exhibition with the first team, a group of veterans with tons of collegiate experience.

“Playing with the older girls is a good experience for me,” Bailey said. “They bring out the best in all of us. It definite-ly makes you want play better. They hold you accountable for what you do on the court.”

Shymansky said he thinks Bailey will sneak up on some people with her suc-cess, since not many coaches saw her play in Canada.

“She’s an unknown quan-tity because not many Ameri-can schools saw her or re-cruited her,” he said. “In some way, she’s going to be a secret, but not for very long. She has a chance to be a go-to hitter in our lineup.”

Bailey wants to win Big East Freshman of the Year, but knows her most impor-tant focus should be her im-provement and how that will help the team overall.

“I just want to be the best I can be for our team and get better and improve in every area I can,” she said.

Bailey isn’t the only fresh-man outside hitter with some hype attached to her. Berlin, Germany’s own Nele Barber enters the program as Shy-mansky’s first European re-cruit at Marquette. Shyman-sky thinks Barber makes the

team significantly deeper than they’ve been before.

“The late addition of Nele Barber from Germany was great for us,” Shymansky said. “She’s contending for playing time. To have more left-side hitter depth than we’ve ever had before gives us a lot of options that we’ve never had at Marquette in my first four years here.”

Shymansky also has two promising new middle hitters at his disposal in Ohio native Rachel Vidourek and Colora-do’s Teal Schnurr. The pair will compete with redshirt fresh-men Jackie Kocken and Megan Niemann for two vacant spots in the front-line rotation.

“Teal and Rachel just came in this year and have already gotten better,” senior setter Elizabeth Koberstein said. “It’s really exciting to see and I’m glad I can help orchestrate their development.”

S h y m a n s k y loves seeing the pair in action.

“What’s excit-ing is to watch both Teal and Rachel Vidou-rek now compet-ing as incoming freshmen,” he said. “They’re talented and they’re long and athletic, and they’re compet-ing for playing time as well.”

Joining the four hitters are two defensive specialists, Nicki Barnes from Naperville, Ill. and Lauren Houg from Plymouth, Minn.

Jeziorowski, one of the team’s senior captain, says all of the freshmen have come a long way already and she ex-pects big things from them this fall and beyond.

“Even though they’re new, that doesn’t mean they’re any different,” she said. “Our freshmen are really stepping up, they’re really mature right away. This is one of my favor-ite freshmen classes ever.”

Bleachers limited to first 500 fans at each game temporarily

Valley Fields, the home to Marquette men’s and women’s soccer and lacrosse teams, will complete its renova-tions in early October, ac-cording to an email from Marquette Athletics.

The complex, built in 1993 and located on Canal Street, re-placed its grass surface with turf grids and installed a new irrigation system this summer.

Construction of the bleach-ers is ongoing, which will limit the capacity to 500 fans. Fans are advised to arrive early to matches until the renovations are finished in October.

Marquette women’s soccer coach Markus Roeders is eager to have his team play on a qual-ity pitch and said he believes the changes will make the atmo-sphere more enjoyable.

“The surface is the best that we’ve had in 20 years, since the original field was built,” Roed-ers said. “It’s going to be a very unique, distinct environment, and a fun environment to watch us play. We’re really grateful for what the administration has done.”

By Kyle [email protected]

Valley Fields’ last major proj-ect was in 2010 when a facility for team dressing rooms, public restrooms and a medical atten-tion area was built.

Senior women’s soccer mid-fielder Maegan Kelly is hopeful that students will take interest in the new complex and become a presence at matches.

“Now that we’ve redone it, we have the potential to draw students down to the (field),” Kelly said. “I just think it has a lot of potential.”

Marquette will host the Big East Women’s Soccer Champi-

onship Nov. 8 and 10. Roed-ers said he will be glad to have teams and fans from around the region get a quality look at the facilities.

“It’ll be one of the top 10 or 15 places when it’s all said and done,” Roeders said. “I think you want to crown

your conference champion at the best facility that’s available.”

Previously, Marquette trav-eled to play against top-tier non-conference opponents, but Kelly is optimistic Valley Fields will serve as a useful tool for the Golden Eagles to host powerful, well-known teams in the years ahead.

“When they see what we have down there, people will be in awe,” Kelly said. “Maybe they’ll want to come back and we can get bigger and better teams to play us here at home, which is always fun.”

Valley Fields is undergoing extensive renovations that will temporarily limit its fan capacity to 500 per match.

Cross Country hopes for top-half finish in Big EastOptimism rests with Agnew for men, Spencer for women

A new look for the Big East con-ference and the loss of several run-ners to graduation and transfers are just two components driving intrigue around the 2013 season for Marquette’s men’s and women’s cross-country teams.

Head coach Mike Nelson, now entering his seventh season at Marquette, is not only coaching the teams, but planning the Big East Championship, which will

By Christopher [email protected]

be held Nov. 2 at the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross-Country Course in Somers, Wis.

“I think one of my major goals is to finish in the top half of the con-ference at the Big East Champion-ship,” Nelson said. “It’s a very good cross-country conference with some of the best programs in the country. To be in the top half initially will be a good goal and then hopefully move up from there. We want to be a top-10 team in our region.”

The Marquette men are ranked 15th in the preseason NCAA Great Lakes Regional rankings, while the women are unranked. On the na-tional level, the Big East has No. 24 Georgetown and No. 27 Villanova, while the women’s side has No. 1 Providence (receiving 11 first-place votes after their second-place finish

at last year’s NCAA Champion-ship), No. 6 Georgetown (2012 Big East Champions), No. 12 Villanova and No. 30 Butler.

Last year’s Marquette teams saw strong performances from fresh-men. Now sophomores, William Hennessy and Cody Haberkorn have matured and are expected to step up into bigger roles after plac-ing fourth and sixth on the team at the Big East Championship in 2012.

After being the team’s top fin-isher at most meets, Molly Hanson decided to transfer to Wisconsin. The move opens up a chance for sophomores like Kellie Green-wood or Kayla Spencer to fill her shoes. Greenwood is recovering from a minor injury, while Spencer showed some upside as the Alumni Run winner on the women’s side.

Nelson hopes another leader emerges from a group of upper-classmen that may have struggled last year or been hurt.

“I know we’ve got the girls that can step up,” Nelson said. “Somebody like Sarah Ball had a rough year last year overall or Elisia Meyle, who started off the year our number one and then she had some injury issues. We have the bodies, it’s just they haven’t all been ready to go.”

Men’s runners Connor Callahan, A.J. Gedwill, Jack Hackett and Pat-rick Maag have all graduated, leav-ing the title of top runner up for grabs between captains Jack Sene-feld and Spencer Agnew. Agnew won the Alumni Run with Senefeld just a second behind him.

“I think with both of them as

one improves, the other will im-prove,” Nelson said. “I just see them working together all season long. You could not ask for two better captains.”

When one was healthy last year, the other was not. Sene-feld began the season recover-ing from a summer injury, while Agnew struggled in the second half of the year. A summer of train-ing and staying healthy now has them ready for competition.

The Golden Eagles will open their season in style with new gold uniforms at the Badger Classic in Verona, Wis. When the men’s team last competed on that course, Mar-quette prevented the Wisconsin Badgers from an undefeated season en route to their National Champi-onship title in 2011.
