Raynor Library to sponsor new exhibit to honor Dorothy DayCollection displayed for 80th anniversary of Catholic Worker
See Guns, page 9
To extend the legacy of Doro-thy Day on Marquette’s campus, the Raynor Library Archives is sponsoring an exhibit designed to coincide with the 80th an-niversary of the first publica-tion of the Catholic Worker, the newspaper Day helped found.
The exhibit also celebrates the Catholic Worker Movement be-gun by Day and a French peasant

It’s not typical that student organization events feature firing 9 mm Glocks and deal-ing with a Wisconsin state trooper, but that’s how 25 Col-lege Republicans spent their Sunday morning in Waukesha.
The group invited Mar-quette students to a gun range for a safety event and a day of shooting firearms rang-ing from small, concealable pistols to shotguns.
Matt Walker, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sci-ences and an executive board member of Marquette College Republicans, organized the event in an effort to make the national debate on gun control more relevant to students.
“The event was a great suc-cess, and we hope to bring more students out to experience how to shoot a weapon,” Walk-er said. “The experience can help students better understand the debate over gun control by actually using a weapon.”

philosopher Peter Maurin.Day, a controversial figure in
Catholic Church history, is best known for her work in New York with the Catho-lic Worker Movement, which focused on non-violence and hospital-ity to the poor. Pope John Paul II gave the Archdiocese of New York permission in 2000 to open the cause for her canonization in the Church, which al-lows her to be called a “Servant of God” by Catholics.
The Dorothy Day Exhibit was inspired by a documentary en-titled “Dorothy Day: Don’t Call
Me a Saint,” which was writ-ten, produced and directed by Claudia Larson. Larson, who also conceived and designed
the exhibit, worked on the documentary for 15 years before its world premiere at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival in 2006.
“I often say that it’s as though Dorothy Day walked up my front steps, knocked on my door, I answered,” said Larson. “She’s been here pushin’ ‘n
proddin’ me for over 22 years.”Larson has been interested in

Sexual assaults see short-term spikeDPS says most attacks in 2010, 2011 occured in residence halls
Last week, Marquette’s Depart-ment of Public Safety reported two sexual assault incidents that allegedly occurred in February. The incidents were reported to DPS, and the Milwaukee Police Department was contacted.
DPS Capt. Russell Shaw said all the sexual assaults reported to DPS are directly investigated by MPD.
The crimes have just been

written into the DPS Daily Log, despite occurring at various times throughout the academic year, be-cause the victims chose to report them in recent weeks, Shaw said.
Statistics regarding the num-ber of sexual assaults for 2012 have not yet been released. DPS officials were not avail-able for comment Monday when asked for the numbers.
According to DPS’ Annual Se-curity and Fire Safety Report, there were six sexual offenses in 2011 in the residence halls and nine total. All three of the report-ed sexual offenses in 2010 alleg-edly took place in the residence halls, also according to the report.

Protesters at the University of Wis-consin-Madison “occupied” Chan-cellor David Ward’s office during a sit-in Monday. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Monday that the protestors demanded the university cut ties with Palermo’s, the Milwaukee-based pizza com-pany that allegedly fired workers this summer for trying to unionize.
Marquette student group Youth Empowered in the Struggle has organized protests against the company at the Bradley Cen-ter, which serves Palermo’s piz-za. The product is also served in Marquette hall stores.
The protesters claim the com-pany is violating the university’s code of conduct by associat-ing with what the group calls a “lawbreaking company.”
“Chancellor Ward has abandoned the Palermo’s workers and cal-lously ignored the moral standards that UW claims to uphold,” Cornell Zbikowski, one of the occupying students, told the Journal Sentinel Monday. “The Palermo’s workers have been on strike for 11 months as Dave Ward hides and counts the days until retirement. I’m ashamed to call David Ward my Chancellor.”
In November 2012, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Palermo’s had acted lawfully in its firing of the employees, which the company claimed it did because of the employees’ immigration status.

Today marks the 38th anniver-sary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. To com-memorate the event, the Viet-namese Student Association will present the film “Journey from the Fall” and host a discussion in Olin Engineering Room 202 at 7 p.m. today. The film follows the story of a Vietnamese refugee family as it escapes to the U.S. following the surrender of South Vietnam to the Communist North in 1975.
“The Fall of Saigon is signifi-cant to the Vietnamese commu-nity because it reminds of our past and where our families’ ear-lier generations came from and what they experienced,” said Vietnamese Student Association member Khanh Tran.
Students honor Vietnam War’s end
April 30 is considered a day of mourning for the Vietnam-ese-American community. VSA is encouraging its members to wear black in remembrance of the Fall. Today, the vast major-ity of the more than 1.5 million Vietnamese-Americans are the descendants of refugees from the war or their descendants.
Longtime marketing professor at Marquette Ralph Brownlee passed away April 24 at age 92. Brownlee joined the Marquette faculty as a professor of marketing in 1949 and taught at the university for 54 years.
The College of Business Admin-istration honored Brownlee with the addition of the Brownlee Atrium to Straz Business Hall in 1999.
An obituary about Brownlee in the Milwaukee Journal Senti-nel said his former students went on to head Sears, Kimberly-Clark and other large companies.
“‘Some of you are going to be millionaires, multimillionaires,’” Brownlee liked to say, according to the article. “‘So it can be done. But you have to give, too.’”
He was also on the board of the Serra International Foundation, which raises money to encourage men to become priests. Brown-lee also helped set up a shelter for battered women.

Last Thursday, Wauwatosa East High School commemo-rated Denim Day by draping 1,050 pairs of donated jeans on its fence. High school senior McKenna Nerone, the student behind the project, collected 1,800 pairs – surpassing her goal of 1,050 – and will donate them to PathFinders, an organi-zation that provides clothing and food to homeless, mentally ill or youths who are victims of sexual assault. Each of the 1,050 pairs on the school fence is a symbol for each person sexually as-saulted during the time Nerone is at school each week.
Denim Day, celebrated on April 24, was created in 1997 after an Italian Court decided to overturn a convicted rapist’s sentence be-cause the teenage victim’s jeans were tight and the victim must have helped remove them. The Court concluded that this implied consent. The day the Court made the decision, female members of the Italian Parliament protested by wearing jeans to work.

In response to the U.S.’s recently released Country Reports on Hu-man Rights Practices, China’s State Council Information Office released a report titled “Human Rights Re-cord of the United States.” The report aims to reveal “the true hu-man rights situation of the U.S. to people across the world by simply laying down some facts.”
“As in previous years, the reports are full of carping and irrespon-sible remarks on the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China,” the report reads. “However, the U.S. turned a blind eye to its own woe-ful human rights situation and never said a word about it. Facts show that there are serious human rights problems in the U.S. which incur extensive criticism in the world.”
The report cites “firearms-related crimes,” including the shootings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., along with the growing gap between the rich and the poor, as human rights violations. The re-port also names police misconduct, inmate and suspect abuse and the large influence of monetary con-tributions in the 2012 election as violations of human rights.
It also cites “rampant” racial discrimination, child neglect and abuse and the crimes of U.S. sol-diers abroad as areas of concern

MUSG approves budget, hosts disability speakerAfter brief debate, senate unanimously passes 2014 proposal
Marquette Student Government unanimously passed its budget for fiscal year 2014 at its meeting Thursday. The budget had been debated in committees for the two weeks since it was proposed, leading to the vote last week.
MUSG Financial Vice Presi-dent Cole Johnson, a sopho-more in the College of Busi-nesses Administration, was the leader of the budget commit-tee that has worked on building the budget since February.
The budget committee, which also included former President Arica Van Boxtel, outgoing Pro-grams Vice President Matt Mc-Gonegle, new Programs Vice President Tyler Tucky, former Arts & Sciences Senator and new Executive Vice President Zach Bowman and Schroeder Hall Senator Thomas Schick, talked to students and MUSG senators and analyzed past years’ fiscal trends to build the budget.
“We have constant concerns with how we allocate resourc-es,” Johnson said. “We have a huge variety of conflicting in-terests, needs and concerns that need to be addressed.”
Those conflicting concerns were addressed over the past two weeks. The senate briefly debated the budget, with several senators speaking in favor of it. After addressing some questions about how the budget allocated money for the National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference, all 25 senators in attendance voted to approve the budget.
Legislative Vice President Kyle Whelton, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said budget concerns won’t be at the forefront of the senate for the foreseeable future.
“The only time the budget comes into play is when the FVP needs senate approval for a line item movement,” Whelton said.

Heidi Vering discusses work with Office of Disability ServicesBy Joe [email protected]
Heidi Vering, the associate director for the Marquette Of-fice of Disability Services, spoke with Marquette Student Government at its meeting Thursday about disability is-sues on Marquette’s campus. Vering focused on accessibil-ity issues facing students, as well as potential services for the temporarily disabled.
Vering was invited to speak after Marina Murphy, a freshman in the College of Arts & Sciences, exercised her concerns over accom-modations for temporarily disabled students to Whelton.
“The main reason I con-tacted (Vering) was because of Murphy,” Whelton said.
Vering spoke to inform the students about the role of ODS and challenges facing the of-fice. The number of students receiving accommodation for some kind of disability has risen by 93 percent over the past five years, according to data compiled by ODS.
Vering also made it clear that even though Marquette does not have an Americans with Disabilities Act representative, her office is capable of mak-ing sure all necessary accom-modations are made available to the students who need them.
The Disability Advisory Committee, which Vering leads, has put forth several recommendations to the uni-versity’s upper administration, including adding door openers for all student restrooms and developing electronic commu-nications services for students with disabilities that affect their ability to navigate campus.
“It’s not necessarily a leg-islative issue, but it’s some-thing that we need to talk about,” Whelton said.

Senior Week programming provides special send-offOffice of Student Development to host majority of events
Marquette seniors will have the opportunity to enjoy their final moments as undergradu-ate students during Senior Week, hosted by the Office of Student Development. Senior Week features several events specifically for seniors from May 13 through May 17.
The week includes a senior service and reflection, a chal-lenge signature event, a ball, a barbecue, a fish fry and the final commencement. Tick-ets are available in the Brooks Lounge for all of the events, which range in price. The most expensive events are $30, and an all-inclusive “package deal” can be purchased for $60.
Matt Lengen, coordinator for student organizations and leadership in the Office of Stu-dent Deveopment said OSD has been planning for the week since the middle of last semes-ter. He said the most prominent change is Marquette Student Government’s sponsorship of the week’s events.
“For as long as I know of, MUSG has always sponsored the events with the Office of Student Development, and it has been mostly student-or-ganized,” Lengen said. “I was there to offer guidance and ad-vising.”
Next year, MUSG will only sponsor the Se-nior Ball, he said.
“Two of the Senior Week coordinators for this year, Lauren Peter and David Bredemus, spent a lot of time ensuring the events were fun and resonated with their fellow peers,” Lengen said.

the College of Communication, said she plans to attend all the
events during the week.
“I got tickets to everything so I have the op-portunity to do whatever my schedule will let me do,” Jack-son said. “As a senior look-ing back, I re-alize that col-lege is so much more about the e x p e r i e n c e s and the friends
you make.”John Bellomo, a senior in
the College of Engineering,
decided he only wanted to go to one event.
“I will be attending the for-mal for sure,” Bellomo said. “I will probably not be attending any other university-sanctioned events during Senior Week.”
Kyle William Smith, a senior in the College of Communica-tion, said he is worried about the financial costs of going to all of the activities.
“I will probably not (at-tend),” he said. “I feel it’s too expensive, and a lot of my good friends either graduated last year or are juniors.”
Undergraduate seniors were also invited to complete the annual graduating senior sur-vey designed to get students’ feedback on their time at
Marquette. Jon Dooley, senior associate dean of student devel-opment, said staff in his office meet with graduating students each year on how the survey can be improved.
“The 2012-2013 survey changed because of student input,” Dooley said. “We had meetings with a num-ber of graduates who wanted a better amount of questions from the academic to social and spiritual.”
The questions in the survey range from internship oppor-tunities to the effectiveness of studying abroad. In the 2012 survey, 41.7 percent of the se-nior class participated. The sur-vey results show which colleges had particular answers and how
I got tickets to everything so I
have the opportudity to do whatever my schedule will let me do.”
Haley Jackson, senior, College of Communication
many students from that college participated in the survey.
“It’s important for seniors to complete these evaluations because it betters the educa-tion at Marquette, and we re-ally value the students’ input,” Dooley said.
Jackson said she has learned much during her time at Mar-quette and is looking for more adventures in the future.
“As a first generation college student, I was really focused on my academics and was de-termined to do the best I could in order to get a good job,” she said. “I don’t remember how I did on the test or paper I stressed over freshman year, but I do re-member the late nights I spent laughing with my friends.”

Day: Exhibit to be displayed in Raynor Archives through semesterDay her whole life, but was es-pecially inspired by stories about Day at the Movement’s 60th an-niversary celebration in New York in 1993, which was an op-portunity to meet some of Day’s oldest friends from the Catholic Worker. There, she spent time with Phil Runkel, an archivist in Raynor Memorial Library who is responsible for the Catholic so-cial action holdings at Marquette. She also said she is working on a book based on transcripts from her interviews about Day.
“It is a rare privilege to have this collection of documents at Marquette because they pres-ent a significant contribution to and perspective on the his-tory of the Catholic Church in
the United States,” said Susan Mountin, the director of Man-resa for Faculty in the Center for Teaching and Learning and an adjunct assistant professor in the theology department.
The exhibit features many documents from Raynor Memo-rial Library’s archives as well as some of Day’s personal items. It is designed to give the Marquette community a chance to explore details about Day’s life and ex-periences, and to see the impact of the Catholic Worker.
“This exhibit is a great visual kick-start to further study of Dorothy Day,” Larson said.
Marquette also hosts a stu-dent program for sophomores called the Dorothy Day Social
Justice Living Learning Com-munity. Students participating in the program live on two floors of Straz Tower and do many things together such as take a class each semester (Philosophy 1001 and Philosophy 2310), a pair of retreats, and service learning.
Maddie Chouanard, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences, was in the program last semes-ter and is an RA on the Doro-thy Day floor. She said that be-ing in the community forced her to re-evaluate her plans.
“It changed my perspective,” Chouanard said. “(The pro-gram) has become a large part of my life now.”
Chouanard said service learn-ing allows the students to
connect with the community. The students attend the same sites throughout the year.
Day, who underwent a ma-jor transformation during her conversion to Catholicism, is known for pushing for major reforms in the Church.
“Dorothy Day was inspired by the Gospel stories about Jesus and looked to what he said and did as the guide to her life,” Mountin
This exhibit is a great visual kick-start to further study of Dorothy Day.”
Claudia Larson, Dorothy Day filmmaker
said. “She had an incredibly deep love of the Catholic Church, but from that love she also critiqued the institution when it did not live up to the standards of Jesus.”
The exhibit will be on dis-play through at least the end of the semester.
“The ease in which the exhibit is laid out makes for a casual, but profound, learning tool,” Larson said.

More than $1,000 raised for Repairers of the Breach shelter
McCabe Hall Council helped support the Milwaukee com-munity Sunday by hosting Strike Out Homelessness, a bowling tournament sponsored by the Residence Hall Asso-ciation, the Alumni Memo-rial Union, the Annex, the S pirit Shop and Bookmarq.
“This was the first big event McCabe has ever really done, and it was hard to create this huge program from the bottom up, especially with our lack of knowledge about how to create a program like this,” said Ra-chel Heilgendorf, a sophomore in the College of Education and organizer of the event.
Dozens of students paid to participate in “cosmic bowl-ing” to support Repairers of the Breach, a daytime home-less shelter in Milwaukee. The event raised $1,033 for the organization, surpassing Mc-Cabe Hall Council’s goal of $1,000. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in drawings for prizes.
“We were a sll very happy and excited by the turnout of this program,” Heilgendorf said. “I am hoping this event can keep going in the coming years because it does affect the Milwaukee community.”

Assaults: 2012 campus sexual assault numbers expected to decrease
Shaw said sexual assault and robbery are the crimes re-ported most often in the Mar-quette area. Shaw said these two types of crimes have been low this year. There has, however,
been an influx of sexual assaults reported in recent weeks.
“Certainly we have had a spike in the past couple of weeks, but if you look at when they actually oc-curred, some of these took place in
the 2012 year,” Shaw said. “That is not going to reflect on 2013.”
Shaw added that most of the alleged sexual assaults being re-ported occur off campus, contrary to the 2012 data which showed

Guns: Wisconsin state trooper gives gun handling training sessionsaid the gun debate felt more relevant for her after shooting.
“Because I had never even touched a gun before the safety event, the issue of gun control was a distant one for me,” Barelli said. “Being able to actually fire a weapon that could be in the hands of any one of Wiscon-sin’s residents made me real-ize how power-ful guns are and how serious the c o n v e r s a t i o n about them has to be. Experiencing the power of these weapons reaffirmed my belief that regulation and back-ground checks should be an essential part of the procedure to legally own a gun.”
A bipartisan bill proposed by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Penn., detailed a plan for increas-ing background checks for guns sold online and at trade shows. It failed to beat the threat of a filibuster in the Senate on April 17.

After the bill failed to ad-vance, President Barack Obama held a press conference to express his disappointment
with Congress.“The fact
is, most of these senators could not of-fer any good reason why we wouldn’t want to make it hard-er for criminals and those with severe mental illnesses to buy a gun,” Obama said. “There were no coher-ent arguments
as to why we wouldn’t do this. It came down to politics.”
Samantha Connor, a fresh-man in the College of Arts & Sciences, is a lifelong hunter and agrees with the traditional Republican view supporting a Second Amendment interpreta-tion based around the individu-al right to bear arms.

all of the reported sexual assaults happening in residence halls.
“The ones we have been receiv-ing the most are in the off-campus locations,” Shaw added. “It goes back to why we are closing down really large house parties to a point where they are getting over-crowded. It goes back to how much alcohol can affect people. (Alcohol contributes to) most of the sexual assaults we deal with. Unfortu-nately, some of these parties are where the sexual assaults occur.”
Shaw said the administrat ion and the resources the university provides DPS help it prevent sexual violence.
“Being proactive stops a lot of crime from happening,” Shaw said. “It is a collaborative effort with MPD that keeps our num-bers low. MPD has said in the past that the Marquette area is
a very safe part of Milwaukee.”Caroline Maher, a freshman
in the College of Communica-tion, said despite DPS’ suc-cess her trust for the organiza-tion has weakened due to fear of receiving an alcohol fine.
“I want to stay away from them even more when drunk, so they’d be the last per-son I would call,” Maher said.
Shaw said problems like sexual assault are the reason DPS shuts down parties.
“I think when you have young individuals obvi-ously out there
blowing off some steam,” he said. “They need a release, but at the same time they have to be cognizant of what they are do-ing; they have to stay in control. Unfortunately, a lot of times they don’t. Our bottom line is to keep the students safe.”
When it comes to being
seen, being proactive stops a lot of crime from happening.”

STAFF EDITORIAL
Year in review: Reflecting on crucial campus issues
In our first issue of this academic year, we voiced concern about the newly insti-tuted alcohol fines that were creating a buzz around campus at the time. We outlined our disappointment at the ambiguity and design of the policy, and we sought to be Marquette students’ voice on the subject.
Throughout the year, we’ve tried to not only represent student opinion but to present clear arguments for issues we believe students should care about.
In our final week of print before turning the page to the summer, we would like to emphasize once more some of the issues we have determined to be most important this year and to focus on the principles behind these issues moving forward.
ALCOHOLThe changes in the alcohol policy started the
year off on a loud note. The lack of transpar-ency around the alcohol fines still exists, as it has been 156 days since we requested in-formation from Dean of Students Stephanie Quade. We requested the number of alcohol fines and the total revenue from the fines. Af-ter all, if students are going to be coughing up money for every violation, they deserve to know where said money is going.
Of course some of the information, like names and details of the situations, should be kept private, but making known the amount of money the administration has collected is vital to improve transparency. If the revenue goes to alcohol prevention and alternative events that students enjoy, the administra-tion should not have a problem revealing the numbers, and many students would be pleased with how it is being spent.
If Marquette was a public university, the Tribune could file an open records request under the Freedom of Information Act to ob-tain this information, and the university would have no choice but to report the numbers. While acting in its full right, the administra-tion is taking explicit advantage of its status as a private university and deliberately choosing to keep its students in the dark.
At an MUSG meeting in November, Vice President of Student Affairs Chris Miller de-scribed student input as “invaluable.” Miller and Director of Student Health Service Caro-lyn Smith had only contacted approximately a dozen students for about a month when deciding whether to implement a university-wide healthcare mandate. They said they had discussed the issue with administrators, however, for nearly five years.
If the administration wants Marquette students to trust that its statements lauding the value of transparency and student in-put are not simply phony press releases, it needs to demonstrate that accordingly.
MUSGAfter a tumultuous election season, we look
forward to seeing what the new administration and senate accomplish during their time in of-fice. We hope our student representatives will spend their time developing legislation based on authentic student concerns, not suggestions from administrators. The purpose of student government is to act as a student’s voice and a link to the administration. Seeking out stu-dent input should be each branch of MUSG’s highest priority. One piece of legislation we hope to see passed is the long-debated Good

Our view: As the Tribune concludes its print content for the academic year, the editorial board would like to reflect on the year and looks to the upcoming semester.
Samaritan Policy, which would allow students to seek help from DPS for intoxicated students, such as requesting medical attention for pos-sible alcohol poisoning, without fear of risking getting themselves in trouble for drinking.
EDUCATIONAL VALUEWe have sought this year to advocate for
the inherent value of education and have voiced concerns about education becoming commodified and viewed merely as a job-marketing tool. We hope the administration, professors and students alike will continue to value education for its role in personal growth and development. Finding a job or internship has its place in college and is key to advancing in a career, but such a goal cannot replace the enrichment and intellectual stimulation that come from thought-provoking professors and classmates and challenging curriculum.
We were impressed with the hiring of Rich-ard Holz as the new dean for the College of Arts & Sciences, a position which was va-cant for five years. We believe Holz will value holistic learning and focus on student needs. In our February 21 editorial follow-ing his selection, we said, “In his meetings with students on campus prior to his selec-tion as dean, he said a liberal arts education is intrinsically valuable and provides students with the ability to think critically and to en-vision a variety of future possibilities for life after college.” We’d like to see the entire university embrace such a vision.
ATHLETICSWith the small number of student-athletes
actually going on to play professional sports, it is important for everyone to remember that student-athletes are actually at Marquette for an education. While athletic scholarships play a big part in this education, it is crucial to see these students as students first when it comes to decisions in the athletic department.
The basketball team, while it does make a significant amount of money for the univer-sity, should not be viewed as a business, nor its players as pawns. As a Jesuit university, we strive for “cura personalis” for every student, including student-athletes. They should not be exploited for their talents, and their suc-cess as people should be not be measured in wins and losses. It is important for students to remember that when a change happens to the basketball team, such as a transfer or new recruit, it is not just a change that impacts the team on the court but rather is a decision that changes the course of a student athlete’s life.
Marquette’s athletics department does not conduct itself terribly by comparison to other programs, but it must break from the status quo by having a different view of athletic scholarships and prioritizing education for student-athletes. By treating its athletes as stu-dents first and foremost, Marquette can truly “be the difference,” in the world of college athletics that sometimes disappoints.
While the urgency around some of these concerns may fade over time, the issues themselves do not. We may not be debat-ing or inquiring about alcohol policy three years from now, but the desire for transpar-ency will still exist. We may no longer be holding MUSG accountable for a turbulent election, but we will still be holding MUSG accountable to its constituents.
We anticipate the need to tackle similarly pressing issues as they arise in the future. We take our editorial role seriously, and we look forward to continuing to strive to de-velop opinions representing the thoughts and concerns of our student body.

College education not limited to area of study
In less than three short weeks, I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism. Unlike many members of my class, I’m not avoiding “the g-word.” While I am sad to leave Marquette and my friends here, I am excited about the future.
“Oh, journalism,” you say. “Interesting, what do you plan on doing with that?”
Actually, nothing, but thanks for ask-ing. I will be teaching middle school next year. While I may not be calling myself a journalist right away and will be focus-ing more on curriculum, grading papers and pre-teen drama than bylines, sources and breaking news, I am confident that my education was not for nothing.
Studying journalism the past four years has taught me more than just how to write a news story, conduct an interview or pro-duce multimedia content. I have learned a lot outside of classrooms at Marquette. My work for The Marquette Tribune and involvement in Greek life helped me ma-ture and grow probably as much as, if not more than, the classes that I took.
I started my journalism major ahead of many of my classmates. I took four years of journalism in high school, so I often felt like my beginning major classes were redundant. However, the more advanced journalism classes I have taken helped me
improve my skills. Classes at the colle-giate level also carry a freedom that many high school curricula cannot offer: the opportunity for hands-on experience.
Some of the best classes I have taken have sent me out of the classroom and into the community to practice skills we learned and discussed in class. While there were definitely times I found myself sitting in class listening to material I had heard sev-eral times before, both in high school and college classes, I do appreciate the ability to eventually take that material with me into the field. Projects that forced me to con-tact people I did not know for interviews helped me learn how to quickly form work-ing relationships with others, something I am sure would be valuable for anyone, not just a teacher or a journalist.
In fact, many people would agree that college is as much about the social learn-ing done outside academic life as it is about book learning. That’s really the rea-son universities are set up the way they are. If all students needed to do was take classes, colleges would be set up like high schools, and we would all go home to our families at the end of the day.
The culture of the university encourages students to engage with and learn from each other as they begin to branch away from their families and strike out on their own.
I am proud to soon call myself a Mar-quette University alumna. I will be graduat-ing with one of the most versatile degrees this school offers. I am confident that, whatever I end up doing with my degree and my life, I have acquired the skills at Marquette that will prove valuable to me.

Okanjo offers ecommerce innovation
Sites like EBay, Craigslist and Etsy have been popping up around the coun-try for the past 20 years. Now Milwaukee has one of its own: Okanjo.
Characterized by its simplicity and transparency, Okanjo is a local-social ecommerce platform founded by media experts Mike Drescher and Jeff Rowe. Drescher and Rowe, Okanjo’s CEO and President, began to conceptualize the site back in 2010 after connecting with a frustrated EBay seller.
“EBay, while successful, is complicat-ed,” Rowe said. “Initially, we didn’t set out to create a new site, but we wondered if there was a simpler way to operate on a similar platform.”
Drescher and Rowe describe Okanjo as a website with the locality of Craigslist and the power of EBay.
“We wanted to create an opportunity for people to transact safely and locally,” Drescher said.
Okanjo provides Milwaukee residents with the opportunity to list and sell items to people in the area. Since the site launched on Feb. 1, 2013, users have uploaded and listed more than 200,000 products that have a total value of more than $4 million. Okanjo boasts a wide variety of products that includes every-thing from autographed Packers helmets

College of Comm’s failures force us to find success
College is a time for self-discovery. It’s also a time to learn – not only academi-cally, but about oneself, others and the surrounding world. Decisions on a uni-versity, a field of study and the college that a major falls in are crucial to such an acquisition of knowledge. The curricu-lum, courses offered and professors who teach them can make or break a student’s undergraduate academic experience.
I always found the prospect of being a journalist appealing, and I was thrilled at the possibilities of a Diederich Col-lege of Communication education on the first day of classes freshman year.
Four years later, it’s a slightly different story.
The College of Communication is out-standing for many reasons. It regularly brings highly successful and inspiring communication professionals to speak on campus. Constantly evolving technology is embraced so students can compete in an ever-advancing world. Conferences geared toward professional development such as the PR + Social Media Summit are host-ed annually. Johnston Hall is home to the Wakerly Technology Training Center and
also serves as the roots for Marquette’s amazing branches of student media.
The college has provided me with some wonderful academic experiences, as well.
A notably challenging and frustrating magazine design course served as one of the most rewarding classes I’ve taken at Marquette. Eye-opening courses on issues of class, race and gender result in head-aches from struggling to find solutions to today’s societal problems. I was humbled by a critical writing course that proved I’m not cut out for all facets of journalism.
The College of Communication cer-tainly has a lot to boast and be proud of, but there is also an overwhelming cry for improvement and re-evaluation.
There is a lack in variety of courses of-fered in many academic areas, which results in too much repetition of profes-sors and topics. For journalism students in particular, the curriculum seems to be ever-changing, which at times causes diffi-culty in understanding graduation require-ments. Expected feelings of intellectual stimulation when leaving a class are fre-quently replaced by sad sentiments that the previous hour was a slight waste of time.
Just as I’ve had rewarding academic ex-periences within the college, there have also been a fair share of terrible moments.
I’ve watched the same videos in differ-ent courses every semester for the past four years. I’ve sat in class as a professor takes 20 minutes to figure out how to use the In-ternet. Each semester I’ve tried to enroll in interesting courses listed on Checkmarq only to find out they never existed in the first place. Busy work, professors losing papers and an emphasis on tweeting well rather than writing well are abundant.
This semester, I’ve witnessed budget cuts and the convoluted restructuring of a student media that many argue has been the most rewarding aspect of their time in the College of Communication.
Around this time last year, I arrived for a 3:30 p.m. Friday final to discover a proc-tor administering the test. It turned out that the professor had unexpectedly trav-eled overseas, and the proctor was sup-posed to place the completed exams in his mailbox so they could be graded.
Perhaps I’m missing something, but placing lengthy essay exams in a Johnston Hall mailbox when the professor is over-seas and final grades are due the upcoming Tuesday just doesn’t quite add up.
As I prepare to graduate, I ask myself a question that has become definitive of my College of Communication experi-ence: “Do my end of the semester course evaluations even get read?”
Despite the frustrations, I would un-doubtedly choose to attend Marquette as a journalism major again. This is not a result of my College of Communication experience, though. It’s due to what I’ve gained through courses, extracurricular involvement, a strongly developed con-nection to the university’s Jesuit ideals and the relationships and mentors I’ve established outside of the college.
If I wouldn’t have sought other learn-ing experiences to fill the void that devel-oped from my College of Communica-tion academics, my Marquette experience might not have been as special as what it was. In fact, reaching outside of my major and the college helped make me the person I am today.
I admit that this perspective may very
well seem like a graduating senior’s per-sonal rant. I’ll also acknowledge that my experiences have mostly been within journalism course requirements and the typical elective options that coincide with it, and thus not necessarily reflective of every student’s experience.
Although these facts may diminish my viewpoint, I wouldn’t be writing such an argument if it wasn’t for hearing similar rumblings, disappointments and wishes for improvement from those around me – not just journalism students, but in-dividuals in all academic areas within the college for the past four years.
When I walk across the stage at gradu-ation in three weeks (fingers crossed my diploma isn’t mysteriously “lost” fol-lowing this column), I’ll be grateful for my Marquette experience in so many ways – for the people I’ve met, relation-ships I’ve built, experiences and oppor-tunities I’ve had and the knowledge I’ve gained. I will be thankful for the informa-tion and skills I learned and put into prac-tice throughout my time as a journalism major. I will stand confidently knowing that I am a better person than I was upon arriving here four years ago.
I will be most thankful, however, that my not-so-great experiences in the Col-lege of Communication pushed me to try new things, explore new interests and pur-sue joys and passions that I may not have otherwise discovered, and I’ll hope that future students will be able to do the same.
Milwaukee architecture underrated city feature
On top of my finals ending a week ago, I was fortunate enough to take a course here in France on Parisian architecture – about 1,500 years of it.
After getting past some of the old stuff – walls around the city that are no lon-ger standing, mansion houses that let one family stretch out while the pub-lic lives in squalor – there was a lot of talk about apartment buildings, mod-ern museums and the buildings that really give the city its face.
I don’t know what sparked my inter-est, but I have a hard time crossing a bridge anymore without half an hour of eyeing the support structures. Architec-ture is the book cover of a city, a splen-did mixture of creative design and by-the-numbers engineering that produces some pretty incredible structures as a result. All of them, in fact – run down apartment complexes, freestanding brick houses, buildings new and old.
For most, of course, what goes on be-hind the scenes doesn’t make much dif-ference. But the looks from the outside are tax free, so you may as well take ad-vantage. And with a bit of Milwaukee’s pleasant sunshine finally climbing out of its manhole, I’m ready for some leisurely trots down Wisconsin Avenue (or runs – whatever floats your boat, but I’m the one
who blocks the sidewalk). If you’re doing the same, and you should, try looking up, not down. Milwaukee has a lot to see.
One often overlooked pleasure is the Wisconsin Gas Building, just a few blocks past the river. Like the Empire State Building with a trim, parts of this building displays the ultimate in Mil-waukee building materials: cream city brick. If anything, these yellowish walls are what give Milwaukee its face – if the city were to rebuild the Tower of Babel, it would be made from cream city brick. A detour to the old Blatz brewery gives an even better look.
At the lake, take a beeline from the Mil-waukee Art Museum (chances are you’ve looked at the whale tail before) and go for the Milwaukee County War Memo-rial, designed by Eero Saarinen in the ‘50s. Up until now I’ve usually looked past square-looking buildings, but with my new-found love for boring shapes, this one pops. My ‘50s counterpart would have lived in a house that looked like this – something like Frank Lloyd Wright’s blocky Fallingwater. Its a snapshot of a different time in Milwaukee.
Skip the way back down Wisconsin and cut through Pere Marquette Park to Old World Third Street. This stop’s especially sweet. The decoration of the buildings seems imported from Germany along with the beers and brats. If you’re on a bike, don’t look for too long. I’ve had too many close calls with traffic nuts.
Bonus: stop at the Milwaukee Cheese Mart to stuff yourself with some fresh cheddar samples, and take the bus back. The city’s architecture is great eye candy, but Milwaukee is great for more reasons than that.
and upscale furniture to vintage dresses and vinyl records. It also sells some more unique, quirky products. For the low price of $1,350, for example, you can purchase 720 servings of assorted freeze-dried meats.
The site’s initial success isn’t what makes Drescher and Rowe’s company special. To those who work there, Okan-jo is more than an ecommerce platform; it’s a group of proud Milwaukeeans dedi-cated to supporting and interacting with their community. Rowe and Drescher, both Midwest natives, began to develop Okanjo in the Los Angeles area but de-cided to move the company back to Mil-waukee.
“We’re a Wisconsin-based, Milwau-kee-headquartered company, and that’s very important to us,” Drescher said.
Okanjo’s Milwaukee pride that makes Okanjo so unique. Okanjo makes it easy for customers to give back to communi-ties throughout the country with Guid-eStar, an online service that connects businesses to 1.4 million national non-profit organizations.
“We want to connect people and com-munities to things they care about,” Rowe said. “It should be easy to give to the things that are important to you.”

Kyle Whitlow and Blaine Fleming celebrate a goal against Detroit, the second win of their three-game streak.
Men’sstreaksnappedafter3
By Ben [email protected]
For the first quarter of the men’s lacrosse team’s game against St. John’s Saturday, the Golden Eagles were hanging with the No. 20 Red Storm and even closed the opening period with a 3-2 lead.
To start the second quarter, however, St. John’s went on a 6-0 run to put Marquette on its heels. The Gold-en Eagles never fully rebounded from their sec-ond-quarter col-lapse, as the Red Storm cruised to a 15-10 victory.
Marquette’s loss dropped the team’s record to 5-7, while the Red Storm earned their pro-gram record ninth win this sea-son. Coach Joe Amplo said it was a “weird game” because the Golden Eagles’ level of play saw such a sharp decrease in the second quarter.
“The first quarter we were dominating play,” Amplo said. “And then, in the first eight minutes of the second quarter, I joked and said it felt like a sev-enth-grade lacrosse team took our jerseys and played.”
St. John’s junior attackman Kieran McArdle had a game-high six points (four goals and two assists). McArdle was nominated as one of 25 final-ists for the Tewaarton National Player of the Year Award after amassing 85 points through his first 13 games. He is second in the country in points per game (6.58), assists (49) and assists per game (3.92), and he tied for ninth in goals per game (2.67).
Freshman goalie JJ Sagl said the team was successful in lim-iting McArdle’s production for most of the game in St. John’s set offensive situations.
“McArdle is a really gifted, crafty left-handed guy,” Sagl said. “We had B.J. (Grill) on him, and B.J. did a fantastic job making sure he didn’t get top-side on him. All the goals he had were in transition or broken situations.”
For only the third time this season, Marquette won 50 percent of its faceoffs. Led by freshman midfielder Paul Ri-portella, who won 10 of his 16 faceoffs against St. John’s, the Golden Eagles went 14 for 28 at the center X.
Marquette has seen steady improvement in its faceoff play this year, as the team opened the season winning only 33 percent (52 for 153) of the time through six games but has won 51 per-cent (74-146) of its faceoffs in the last six games.
Although the Golden Eagles

had more possessions due to im-proved faceoff play, 12 of them were squandered by turnovers. Freshman midfielder Connor Bernal, who led Marquette’s of-fense with three goals and one assist, said the offense’s un-timely turnovers disrupted the team’s rhythm.
“When we turn the ball over, it creates momentum, and it kills our spirits sometimes,” Bernal said. “When we have less possession to capitalize on because we turn the ball over, it
is harder to get any momentum going.”
A l t h o u g h Marquette was handed its first loss in more than three weeks, Amplo said he is not disappointed in his team’s per-formance. He said the Golden Eagles still sal-vaged some progress from
the loss.“The reality is, you are not
going to play great every week,” Amplo said. “The step we took forward is that we’ve got to learn how to manage games like that when something is missing.” Photo courtesy of Marquette Athletics
Marquette will face Duke in its second and final home game of its inagural season this weekend. It boasts a 5-7 record after a three-game streak (with wins over High Point, Detroit and Bellarmine) was snapped by future conference rival St. John’s Saturday.

My friends at MU made me better
As my college experience comes to an end, I can’t help but feel like I did a lot wrong at Mar-quette.
People usually think of the pos-itive times right about now, but I can’t help but realize there is so much I would have done differ-ently.
With all the success and ambi-tion of those I have worked with at Marquette, I’ve done a lot of thinking about what I am going to do. I’ve been fortunate to receive compliments from people about how I have a great future ahead of me. I appreciate those kind words, but it would be a bit reas-suring to know where on God’s green earth I am going to be in three or four months.
Because of my uncertain fu-ture, I have been doing a lot of reflection lately. I’m excited for school to end and to get go-ing with a real job, but did I do enough to prepare myself for suc-cess? When I was supposed to be studying or preparing for work, did I put myself in a position to do the best I can? Not all the time, unfortunately. Did I consistently pay enough attention to detail to do the best job I could? I did not.
My biggest regret is that I let people down. There were some who were very close to me and who had a lot of faith in me. At times, when I needed to be at my best, I was subpar.
Still, I would like to think I’ve done a lot of good at Marquette. While I’m never going to win any scholarships for my work in the classroom, I would like to think I have still left my mark on this school, especially in Johnston Hall.
I’ve been fortunate to meet some incredible people through Marquette. I have friends who are from all over the world. Being from nearby Waukesha, I have no idea how some ended up here, but I am grateful that they did.
What I will remember most, above all these regrets I may have, are the people I can now call friends.
To anyone who stuck with me on Twitter, listened to any of my broadcasts or read anything I have written: thank you. All of you who have made me laugh or smile or who have let me brighten your day a little bit: thank you. To everyone I am lucky enough to call a friend: thank you.
I’ve known I would go to Marquette since I was 7 years old. While there is a lot I would change about my time here, it has all molded me into the young man I am today, and I’d like to think I’m all right for the most part.
I wouldn’t be the person I am today without every single expe-rience and every single memory I have of this school. I’ll forever love Marquette. Thank you to ev-eryone who made my experience here as amazing and enjoyable as it was.

Schuh, Koeck break personal recordsTeam picks up more Big East qualifying marks in Lisle, Ill.
Marquette track and field competed at the Benedictine Twilight Invitational in Lisle, Ill., this weekend. Junior Carlye Schuh and sophomore William Koeck broke their own records in the long jump and hammer throw, respectively.
By Christopher [email protected]
Schuh’s jump of 6.06 meters puts her 21st in the NCAA West division, a regional champion-ship qualifying mark. Koeck’s throw of 59.91-meters is the 36th best in the region.
Senior Sarah MacCourtney won the women’s high jump, clearing 1.75 meters. Her mark ranks 24th in the region.
Marquette had its share of Big East mark hits and misses. Ju-nior Zach Grese set a personal best, as he won the 3,000-me-ter steeplechase. His time of 9:22.44 met the Big East stan-dard. He will join freshman
William Hennessy in the event next weekend.
Junior Spencer Agnew (3:53.03), freshman D.T. Mc-Donald (3:54.61) and sopho-more David Sajdak (3:55.13) took the top three spots in the men’s 1,500-meter run. All set outdoor personal bests and punched their tickets to the con-ference championship.
Sophomore Glenn Lawrence, Jr. left the meet empty-handed with shortcomings in the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter dash. He missed the 200-meter quali-fication by .04 seconds with his
time of 22.04. His miss in the 100-meter dash was even clos-er, as he ran .02 seconds slower than the standard of 10.93.
Junior Connor Stengel also missed the 200-meter dash mark with his fourth place fin-ish overall in 22.02. It was a wind-aided mark with a reading of 2.3 meters per second, which means it cannot be registered as a personal best for him.
Marquette travels to Pisca-taway, N.J., for the Big East Outdoor Championship, which runs from May 3 to 5.

NBA center Collins comes out of closetJourneyman is first active openly gay athlete in major sportsBy Patrick [email protected]
Before Monday, most basket-ball fans knew Jason Collins as a journeyman NBA center who never reached his first-round pick potential. From Monday on, he’ll be known as the first active openly gay athlete in the four major Amer-ican team sports.
“I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay,” Collins wrote in an article on SI.com’s home page that will appear in the May 6 issue of Sports Illustrated.
Collins, whom the Houston Rockets drafted with the No. 18 pick in the 2001 NBA draft, has played for the Nets, Grizzlies, Tim-berwolves, Hawks, Celtics and Wizards in his 12-year professional career. He boasts career averages of 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. He played college basketball
at Stanford from 1997-2001 along-side his twin brother Jarron, and he holds the record for the highest field goal percentage in program history.
Collins said he started to consider coming out during the 2011 NBA lockout, when his professional hab-its were put on hold.
“I’m a creature of routine,” Collins wrote. “But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the dis-traction that basketball had always provided.”
He decided to come out when his roommate at Stanford, U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.), a straight man, walked in Boston’s Gay Pride parade last year. That coupled with the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon convinced Collins he shouldn’t wait for the most conve-nient time to come out.
“Things can change in an instant, so why not live truthfully?” he wrote.
Collins mostly received con-gratulations and well wishes from
fellow athletes. Lakers star guard Kobe Bryant tweeted his reaction Monday.
“Don’t suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others #cour-age #support #mambaarmystandup #BYOU,” Bryant said.
Former Marquette and current Heat guard Dwyane Wade tweeted his support for Collins as well.
“Jason Collins showed a lot of courage today and I respect him for taking a stand and choosing to live in his truth. #nbafamily,” Wade tweeted Monday.
Former president Bill Clinton, whose daughter Chelsea attended Stanford with Collins, voiced his support in a statement.
“Jason’s announcement today is an important moment for profes-sional sports and in the history of the LGBT community,” Clinton said. “It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are.”
NBA Commissioner David Stern issued a statement commending Collins for his courage.
“Jason has been a widely respect-ed player and teammate throughout
his career, and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue,” Stern said in the release.
Not all of the reactions to Col-lins’ announcement were positive. Most notably, ESPN NBA analyst Chris Broussard voiced his opposi-tion to Collins’ lifestyle Monday on Outside the Lines.
“I think its a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is,” Broussard said. “If you’re openly living that type of lifestyle, then the Bible says you know them by their fruits. It says that, you know, that’s a sin. ... So I would not characterize that person as a Christian because I don’t think the Bible would characterize them as a Christian.”
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace also criticized Col-lins.
“All these beautiful women in the world and guys want to mess with other guys...smh (shaking my head),” Wallace tweeted.
Regardless of reaction, Collins’ decision may pave the way for oth-er active gay athletes to come out in the near future.

Club sports thrive in tournaments, championshipsWomen’s volleyball wins national title; hockey also succeedsBy Jacob [email protected]
Ultimate Frisbee
Throughout the year, the club ultimate teams tried to get a bid to regionals. Two weekends ago, both the men’s (Birdhouse) and women’s (Moxie) teams earned bids to the tournament this coming weekend. The two teams have worked since Sep-tember to build competitive-ness and travel the country for tournaments. Sophomore Abby Mann, captain of Moxie, said two of the best tournaments for each team were Hallowinona at Winona, Minn., and High Tide in Saint Simons, Ga.
Players who stepped up for Birdhouse were Daniel Noyes and Daniel Magnant, who both consistently earned scores and deflections, with Matt Bren-nan playing stellar defense. On Moxie, Maeve Dwyer was a great leader for the team both on and off the field.
Women’s Lacrosse
The women’s club lacrosse team finished this year’s sea-son 5-8, despite starting out the season 3-1. The team played the most on the road at tourna-ments, with only the final three games at Valley Fields.
Marquette started out the season with a big win against Marshall. Led by freshman Ella Engels, who scored four goals and two assists, and sophomore Adrienne Mulligan, who had two goals and three assists, the team scored 13 first-half goals. Freshman Bhavini Patel record-ed her first shutout of the sea-son in the dominating win.
Engels and Mulligan started out the season strong and car-ried the momentum through-out the season, as both of them notched 43 points in 13 games. Mulligan led the team with 32 goals, while Engels led the team with 17 assists. Head coach Vinny Maurici said he is excited for the future because of a deep and talented freshmen class.
Men’s Ice Hockey
The men’s ice hockey team had its best season in team his-tory, earning a bid to nationals in Springfield, Mo. The team finished with a 1-2 record in pool play and did not earn a spot in the tournament semifi-nals.
The Golden Eagles relied on the steady play of junior Domi-nic Zanfardino, sophomore Ty-ler Schwichtenberg and senior captain Will Jurgensen. Zan-fardino tallied 54 points and led the team with 33 assists. Schwichtenberg and Jurgensen were the team’s leading goal scorers, each hitting the back of the net 27 times.
Zanfardino played hero for the team in the American Col-legiate Hockey Association Division-III Pacific Division regional tournament, scoring a wrap-around goal to force overtime against rival Robert Morris-Peoria. The win sent Marquette to nationals.
Women’s Club Volleyball
The club volleyball team won their second national champi-onship in six years this spring.
Marquette’s team, ranked No. 3 by the National Collegiate Volleyball Federation, took down No. 2 Texas in the semi-finals and No. 1 Arizona in the finals.
Leaders on the team were ju-nior Jenny Ciriacks, first-year dental student Yvonne Mar-ten and sophomore Meredith Vertin. All players earned All-American honors in 2013, while Marten also received the same honor in the 2012 season.
Molly Aikins played a major role on the team throughout the national tournament, which didn’t go unrecognized. She was named MVP of the entire tournament.

Women finish season with 13th consecutive lossTeam ends inagural campaign 2-15 after loss to Notre Dame
In the final game of its inau-gural season, the women’s la-crosse team was unable to over-come coach Meredith’s Black’s alma mater, No. 10 Notre Dame, falling to the Fighting Irish 14-5 Saturday.
The Golden Eagles concluded the season with a 2-15 record and finished on a 13-game los-ing streak after starting the sea-son 2-2.
Marquette took the lead right off the bat, as freshman mid-fielder Hayley Baas ran the crease to beat the Notre Dame keeper 48 seconds into the game. It was one of the rare times that Marquette struck first and one of the fastest goals the team has scored all season.
Despite Marquette’s early lead, the Fighting Irish would tally multiple quick goals, start-ing a 6-0 run for the home team. Baas finally answered when she found the top left corner, but again Notre Dame would an-swer with two goals, including a buzzer-beater with less than a second left in the half.
The Golden Eagles trailed 8-2 at the intermission.

consistently turned the ball over in the process.
“We struggled with our tran-sition, but I think playing such a well-known team that is very successful is good for us be-cause it’s going to help us,” captain and freshman attacker Emily Donovan said. “Every-thing we’re doing now is going to make us better for next year.”
The tempo did not slow down in the second half, as the Irish continued to control posses-sion. Clearing was a huge prob-lem for Marquette, as it gave up three goals to start the half. There was a little bit of mo-mentum for the Golden Eagles toward the middle of the half as freshman midfielder Ken-zie Brown scored back-to-back goals to make it 11-4, but it quickly faded.
An upside to Saturday’s game was the increase in draw con-trols. In their past four games, the Golden Eagles have aver-aged 7.75 draws per game. They won the draw battle 11-9 on Saturday.
Baas would tally the final goal of the game, giving her three on the day, but the sea-son would end in defeat for the Golden Eagles.
The hat trick is Baas’ fourth of the season, and she finishes as Marquette’s second-leading goal scorer with 21 goals on the season behind Brown’s 24. The two were Marquette’s only goal scorers against the Fight-ing Irish.
Despite issues with posses-sion and turnovers, Black said the team finished the season strong.
“We definitely didn’t control

the possession well,” Black said. “We had a lot of turnovers, which hurt us on the scoreboard, but we did fight the whole 60 minutes, really hustled, and I thought we played well.”
Black said she is proud how
her team has performed this season despite its struggles.
“I couldn’t have asked for 33 better players to start this program at Marquette,” Black said. “They work so hard day in and day out. They hustle, they
want it, they’re enthusiastic, and I’m just so proud to be their coach and so proud of the effort they’ve given. I think we’re go-ing to move up toward the top very quickly.”
Burton ‘Milwaukee’s LeBron James,’ says HS coachBurton ranks No. 49 on ESPN 100 and No. 11 at small forward
Buzz Williams’ Marquette teams succeeded thanks to a bruis-ing, physical style of play. Mil-waukee native Deonte Burton fits that mold.
Burton, who is the state’s top recruit according to ESPN.com, committed to Marquette last Sep-tember and adds a combination of toughness and athleticism to Wil-liams’ roster.
At No. 49 on the ESPN 100 and 11th for his position, Bur-ton drew a lot of praise on the national level, and he won an impressive comparison from Marquis Hines, his Milwaukee Vincent High School coach, in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“He’s like the LeBron James of Milwaukee,” Hines said of Burton. “No player in the state has his raw talent athletically. There’s no one like him. No one can touch him.”
Burton played under Hines at Vincent for his freshman and ju-nior prep seasons, spending a season at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., in between. He scored just six points per game at Brewster but contributed to a

successful squad that finished 33-3 overall.
Burton’s numbers skyrocketed upon his return to Milwaukee as he scored 21 points per game, leading Vincent to a 17-7 finish overall and berth in the regional finals.
The small forward plays much bigger than his 6-foot-4 frame sug-gests. A report by Scout.com calls him one of the “most physical and toughest wings in the class.”
“Burton is a load to deal with,” the description states. “He has great strength, is aggressive, and is an elite athlete. Now he doesn’t have a ton of skill outside 10 feet and is a little short for a forward, but still he plays taller than his listed height given his unique ath-
leticism.”B u r t o n
was the first member of the 2013 class to sign a national letter of in-tent with the Golden Ea-
gles, and like the other four, he’s made a big impression on Wil-liams as a good personality on and off the court.
“Deonte has a spirit about him that is infectious,” Williams said. “He is an absolute joy to be around, and I have the utmost ad-miration and respect for how he has responded to the recent hard-ships in his life. Nothing has ever been given to him, and because of that, he has a firm foundation in what he believes in on and off the floor and is very consistent in his approach to how he works on
a daily basis. Because that type of value system is in place, and the access he has had to our program since his commitment, I believe he will have a smooth transition from the beginning.”
Burton joins one of his

longtime friends at Marquette in fellow recruit Duane Wilson. The duo met back in 2004 at Hillside Boys and Girls Club.
“Back then, I didn’t know who he was,” Wilson told the Journal Sentinel. “We were all calling him
‘Big Baby’ after (Orlando’s) Glen Davis. He was something else.”
“It’s pretty wild we’re both go-ing to Marquette,” Burton told the Journal Sentinel. “But it’s cool. We’ve been close for a long time.”
