MU announces 3.7 percent increase for 2014-15 school year

Brianna Hansen, a junior in the College of Communication, is

a full-time student working one job at WISN-TV and two more on campus.

“I work from 2 a.m. to noon, and then I go to class,” Hansen said. “It’s kind of rough, but you know, college is really expen-sive. Scholarships can only go so far.”

Like many other undergradu-ates at Marquette, Hansen is

working her way through col-lege and taking out huge loans

to finance the payments. To hear that the uni-versity is add-ing $1,280 to tu-

ition for the 2014-15 school year is still stressful, despite it being the lowest in-crease in four years.

“I know the university didn’t make me go here and pay all this

money,” Hansen said. “But I still think it’s a lot. The price of tu-ition in general is just ridiculous. How do they expect us to pay all this off?”

THE SLOWING GROWTH IN TUITION

will cost the university $15 mil-lion, will build a new Jesuit Residence in the 1400 block of W. Wells St. The present Je-suit Residence, located at 1404 W. Wisconsin Ave., will be torn down to increase campus green space and decrease the surface parking level area be-tween Schroeder Hall and the Alumni Memorial Union.

The new residence will be built in the area where the parking lots in front of Schroeder Hall currently sit. The building will face south, toward Wisconsin Avenue, said Brian Dorrington, senior director of university communications, in an email.

Of the $10 million, $7.5 mil-lion will be donated to the construction of the new Jesuit

Residence and $2.5 million will finance need-based scholarships. The university could not com-ment on whether these scholar-ship funds will be available for students enrolling in the 2014-15 academic year.

“Details are still being worked through with the anonymous donor as to how the scholar-ship resources will be used,” Dorrington said.

The remaining $7.5 million for the renovations will be funded through donations and construc-tion will not begin until the addi-tional money is raised. Accord-ing to Dorrington, the university does not have an anticipated start date for construction.

47 percent of voters support Walker

About 47 percent of Wiscon-sin voters support Republican Gov. Scott Walker while only 41 percent support the pre-sumptive Democratic nominee Mary Burke, according to the most recent Marquette Law Poll released Monday.

The poll measured opinions of 802 registered voters statewide, with interviews conducted from

Jan. 20-23. The results have a margin of error of 3.5 percent.

The poll chiefly focused on the 2014 governor’s race. Mike Gousha, distinguished fel-low in law and public policy at the Marquette Law School, said he thinks college stu-dents should involve them-selves in order to understand how each candidate’s views will affect them.

“I think there are certain is-sues that are universal, but for young folks, there are other things (like) issues that deal with student debt,” Gousha said. “(See) if candidates are talking about that. If not, it’s not a bad idea to talk to them about it.”

2004-05: Ten years ago for the 2004-05 school year, Marquette's undergrad tuition price stood at $10,175. This amounted to nearly a 5 percent increase in tuition from the previous year.

2008-09: The 2008-09 school year witnessed the highest percentage change in tuition during the last decade at 12.4 percent. This increase equates to a $3,050 increase from the 2007-08 school year.

2009-13: The past four years saw tuition jumps that were more conservative than those of previous years, never rising above a 5 percent jump. The slowing rate of increase was accom-plished as a result of the university's attempts to reduce its operating costs.

Rep. Gwen Moore (D), a ‘73 Marquette graduate who repre-sents the area covering Marquette’s campus in Congress, talked with the Marquette Tribune Thursday about health care, student loans and other issues affecting college stu-dents. Moore was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2004.

Marquette Tribune: The biggest story transitioning from 2013-14 is probably the rollout of the Afford-able Care Act. How would you as-sess the rollout?

Gwen Moore: Clearly the roll-out was a catastrophe, and I don’t think there is a lot of elaboration I can offer you. Certainly, I can’t of-fer any excuses, but what I will say is that I think that (the rollout) will be a dim memory when it is totally implemented. I think probably the rollout of Social Security or Medi-care – or in my lifetime, Medicare part D’s rollout – was catastrophic. But when people start to inure the benefits, they’re going to really start to like it.

The largest number of folk that are uninsured are younger people and the enrollment rate for younger people has been very disappoint-ing... That justifies, I think, what the president and the White House have done in terms of having the TV commercials and concerts and really doing a lot of outreach to young people. And I think we need to do more outreach to young people to let them know that this benefit is available.

MT: Is there anything else be-sides outreach to get more young people enrolled?

GM: It just strikes me that it would be great that colleges and universities could be the kind of resource. I know they always ad-vertise their on-campus health re-sources. Colleges would be a great place to do some outreach to young people, it would be very helpful.

MT: While nothing is for sure, it is likely that Democrats are still in the minority after the 2014 elections ...

GM: Hey, remember that (Mar-quette basketball) Georgetown game? Twenty-eight seconds left, six points down ...

MT: But how do you work across the aisle then? I’m guessing people are tired of a lot of partisan.

GM: Young people are saying they don’t like partisan bickering ... I think that as college students it’s not flattering to say “oh they’re

confused and they don’t under-stand.” I mean, these are Marquette University students. They have the capacity to not be confused about the value of health care.

One has got to wonder if the Founding Fathers didn’t intend for health care to be a right. So when you start talking about the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happi-ness, one has to wonder if one ill-ness should suspend your ability to have a good fortune in your life ... A person should not have to go into bankruptcy because of health care costs. And it can happen to young people. Young people here are one broken arm or (an Achil-les’ tendon) injury away from being broke totally and completely having their credit jacked.

MT: You mention how we could just be an injury away from be-ing broke. Another thing students worry about in that regard is student loan debt. There has been a lot of discussion about student loans the last couple years. Is there anything students can expect to hear on that subject in the coming year?

GM: This budget that was just put forward – and the president and Democrats certainly – we made Pell grants an entitlement, and it’s part of mandatory spending. This bud-get sort of restored funding for that. I think that that’s extremely impor-tant ... In order to keep our economy afloat we’re going to have to rely on education in a way that we haven’t done in a few decades. And that means we can’t just have the trust fund kids do it. It means we’re going to have to reach back and get those kids who have dropped out because they didn’t have any money.

We’re gonna have to look at low

income and minority communi-ties ... I was in the inner city youth. I lived at 14th and Highland and found my way to Marquette. And I like to think that I’m a contribution. I’ve given a little something some-thing back to the community. Had I depended on my trust fund to get here, I’d never be here. Had I de-pended on my basketball skills, Al McGuire would have probably told me no thank you.

MT: A lot of soon-to-be graduat-ing seniors might not yet have a job lined up and may be worried about their job prospects. What would you tell people graduating college right now about their job prospects?

GM: Be sure to graduate and get the degree because in the long run it pays off ... Wisconsin still depends on manufacturing, but a lot of man-ufacturing has become much more technological. What I would advise people is to try to make sure that you don’t freak out so much that you avoid getting some hard techni-cal skills to go along with it. Don’t shy away from getting some hard skills that you will have to offer a future employer.

I can remember back in the day – I’m 62 years old – I can remember being scared about going off into the job market. I’ve been on wel-fare, I had a baby, and one of the things that I learned is that I could do something that most people couldn’t do in the work world – I could write. I figured that out. I would tell an employer, “Hey, I could do something most of your executives can’t do. I can put a sentence together and have it make sense.” ... I mean the thing is we’re only going to make it as a country if we’re being creative, innovative,

being smarter than everyone else. So people cannot shy away.

MT: How do you maybe see those job prospects getting better for young people?

GM: You got your baby boom-ers, people like me, retiring. There are going to be plenty of opportu-nities for young people in health care, for example. Here is where the opportunities come in. A lot of us are going to be elderly. There’s opportunity. Ten thousand people a day retire. Those jobs are going to have to be filled, health care for those people, building elderly hous-ing for those people. So there are opportunities that are going to exist in terms of replacing us, caring for us and providing health care for us.

MT: Finally, since you’ve men-tioned Marquette a few times, what from your time here influenced your career, or what do you remem-ber most?

GM: Coming to Marquette is one of the things that changed my life – it really did – and my life’s prospect. I was eighth of nine kids, poor. I was pregnant when I got out (of Marquette), and my horizons were opened with my education here, and I really got the Jesuit bug of social justice and the importance of giving back to the community. And I notice that about Marquette students. Marquette students are all over the world – they’re in Wash-ington, D.C., they tutor kids in poor communities, and whether they are Democrats or Republicans, that sense of social justice is something that I think Marquette has made a mark.

Following nine reported drug offenses in dormitories since the beginning of the semester, the Department of Public Safety and the Milwaukee Police De-partment are deliberating how to deal with this issue.

The most recent reported drug offense was last Thursday in Abbottsford Hall where two stu-dents were found in possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. Another of-fense involving drug parapher-nalia took place in Schroeder Hall Wednesday, and the day before, two incidents occurred in O’Donnell Hall, with one in-volving prescription drugs, and another involving drug para-phernalia. So far, the only halls not to have a reported drug of-fense this semester are Mashuda and McCabe halls.

Although five students were taken to the hospital and an-other one was taken into cus-tody by MPD following a drug incident last weekend, DPS re-ported no further offenses this past weekend. The students await both university conduct and legal action, and one fe-male student was taken into cus-tody by the MPD for allegedly

MARDI GRAS, the service organization known for its work in New Orleans, will embark on its second trip to New York City and its first joint service trip with members of St. John’s University campus ministry during spring break.

“As the needs of the lower ninth expand and adapt, so does our or-ganization’s need to follow suit,” said Joe Bartoletti, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences who will be one of the leaders on the New York trip. “There are so many people applying to MARDI GRAS that we saw this as a really cool way to expand.”

MARDI GRAS, one of Mar-quette’s largest student organiza-tions, was founded in 2006 to help clear houses that were destroyed

Popular MU program to serve victims of Hurricane Sandy

MARDI GRAS to join St. John’s in N.Y. service tripby Hurricane Katrina in the low-er ninth ward of New Orleans, and the group has returned to the area every year since. This spring MARDI GRAS will expand its ef-forts to help rebuild areas that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. They will specifically focus on Rockaway, Queens, which was heavily damaged by fire and flood-waters during the storm.

“Hurricane Sandy actually did more monetary damage than Hur-ricane Katrina,” said MARDI GRAS President Jac Cupkovic, a senior in the College of Busi-ness Administration. “There’s still houses that need to be dug out with sand, and there’s simi-lar work to be done there to what we already do. So we figured we have the leadership in this orga-nization. We have enough people who can lead trips and we have enough people interested in taking these trips, why not expand to a different location?”

Although it is expanding, MARDI GRAS still faces ques-tions about funding. In the past, it relied heavily on allocations from

Marquette Student Govern-ment’s Student Organization Funding Committee, but was de-nied funding for its winter break trip in October.

MUSG representatives from the SOF Committee cited MARDI GRAS’ substantial past alloca-tions as one of the reasons for their decision. Since 2010, MARDI GRAS accounted for more than 11 percent of all budgeted non-club SOF funds, according to MUSG. MUSG also had concerns over MARDI GRAS’ limited self-funding efforts.

In response to MUSG’s most recent financial decision, MARDI GRAS formed a fundraising com-mittee to organize smaller events to help offset some of its costs. MARDI GRAS does most of its fundraising as a whole rather than for specific trips, Cupkovic said. A lot of its fundraising takes place during Spark Week, the fundrais-ing week after spring break. The group also collects alumni dona-tions. Cupkovic said most of the organization’s funding comes in the form of supplies for its work.

Cupkovic said if the group gets no SOF support for this trip, the cost would be around $200 per student, on the low end.

The New York trip will also al-low MARDI GRAS members the opportunity to attend the Big East

distributing the drugs.Sheila Stanelle, senior ex-

ecutive assistant to Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, said in an email that the cases are still pend-ing due to further investigation and testing and that “it will be some time before a charging determination is made.”

Interim Di-rector for the Department of Public Safety Russell Shaw said most of the incidents since the se-mester started were marijuana related.

“You can look at this in two ways, is there a big increase in drug use on campus since the start of the semester, or is it because the weather since we’ve been back has been extremely cold where students aren’t leaving the resi-dence halls?” Shaw said. “It’s certainly a problem either way.”

According to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijauana Laws, penalties for possession of marijuana can range from six months of jail time and a $1,000 fine for a first offense to a felony offense of up to three-and-a-half-years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Shaw added that it is hard to speculate which cause is more likely, but the fact that

more people have been caught than usual has deterred stu-dents from trying drugs in the residence halls.

“Since so many people have been caught since school has started, it might be slow-ing things down,” Shaw said. “We’ve gotten back to more normal incidents, more medi-

cal and alcohol related.”

Shaw added the drug of choice amongst students is still alcohol.

Brian Dor-rington, senior director of uni-versity com-m u n i c a t i o n , said the uni-versity is most-ly concerned with students’

health when it comes to drug policy offenses.

“We take the safety and well-being of our students very se-riously and expect all of our students to uphold Marquette’s values,” Dorrington said in an email. “The university is grate-ful for the swift action our Department of Public Safety, residence hall staff and law enforcement partners who im-mediately responded to the students. The university has extensive drug and alcohol education programs, includ-ing a dedicated coordinator who works to educate students about associated risks.”

Since so many people have

been caught (with drugs) since school has started, it might be slow-ing things down.”

Law Poll: 56 percent of state residents disapprove of ObamacareBurke, a member of the

Madison School Board, was not well-known by 70 percent of participants, but Gousha said he sees this as common.

“I think (voters) tend to focus on elections in the months im-mediately prior to those elec-tions, so I think most people are concerned about other things right now,” Gousha said. “They’ll begin to focus in, I think, after summer.”

Charles Franklin, professor of law and public policy and director of the Marquette Law School Poll, said approximately equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans were part of the 70 percent.

“She traveled the state and has done a lot of meetings in towns and cities around the state,” Franklin said. “But the (elec-tion) advertising has not yet cranked up.”

In the months leading up to the election, Franklin said he thinks students should be proactive and use their free time to research the gubernatorial candidates.

“You might look to the (law) poll to have a sense of what other people are thinking, but the far more important thing is to go read a newspaper, or listen to radio or watch television and learn something about the can-didates and what the issues are,” Franklin said.

Fifty-six percent of partici-pants disapproved of the Af-fordable Care Act, while 35 per-cent approved of it.

Donation: New building to come following burst pipe flood damage

Mobile clinic housed in bus labeled MKE ‘Big Idea of 2013’

Every month since September, the Mobile Legal Clinic drives to isolated neighborhoods around Milwaukee to offer free legal ad-vice on civil matters.

Michael Gonring, an attorney at Quarles & Brady LLP and Class of ‘82 Marquette Univer-sity Law School alumnus, was the original engineer behind the clinic but could not financially support the venture. Goring took the idea to fellow law school alumni Frank Daily and Julia Eb-ert who offered to help fund the project through Marquette.

“It is justice on wheels,” Gonring said in an email. “It is another example of Marquette’s significant involvement in helping to provide legal services for the poor. The fact that two Marquette alumni, Frank Daily and Julie Eb-ert, provide the financial support for it is no accident.”

As part of the Milwaukee Jus-tice Center — a collaborative ef-fort between the Milwaukee Bar Association, Milwaukee County and the Marquette University Law School — the Mobile Legal Clinic is a mobile version of the center. Though the center does not offer actual legal representation

“Efforts are already underway to raise the remaining $7.5 mil-lion for the building and related work,” Dorrington said. “This extraordinary gift will bring mo-mentum to this work, but no spe-cific timeline has been released.”

The news release cited the anonymous benefactor’s “de-sire to provide a future home to the members of Marquette’s community of Catholic, Je-suit priests who have dedicated their lives to serving others” as the reason to replace the pres-ent 98-year-old Jesuit facility. In a letter to faculty and staff announcing the $10 million donation, Wild said the new residence was “much-needed” due to “an increasing array of major maintenance problems.”

In October, flooding caused by a burst pipe displaced three Jesuits from their rooms, with residents only beginning to re-turn this week. The Rev. Thomas Anderson, who mostly lives in Schroeder Hall as its hall min-ister but still has a room in the residence, said such problems are not uncommon. Due to the recent cold, many steam pipes have burst and a few years ago, the roof needed to be repaired.

In addition, Anderson said the current residence, which was formerly a hotel built in 1916 until it was purchased by Mar-quette in 1962 and turned into the Jesuit Residence in 1973, is not suited for the Jesuit com-munity’s needs. The number of Jesuits working at Marquette is

less than it used to be, but the large size of the Jesuit residence took a toll on maintenance costs.

“It’s a big facility to main-tain,” Anderson said. “It has outdated heating equipment and water equipment. The costs of maintaining a building like that are much more expensive than building something modern and something that’s going to be more suited for our needs. We don’t need dining room space for 100 people. We need it for like 30 or 40.”

Due to an agreement with the Society of Jesus’ Wiscon-sin Province, Marquette is re-quired to provide housing for the Jesuits who work for the university. The residence also houses Jesuits working for the

Church of the Gesu, other par-ishes and the province office. Anderson said he did not know if the new residence will accom-modate these Jesuits, but said the decision of where they will reside will ultimately be decided by the province.

Anderson said the new resi-dence is ultimately part of the university’s master plan to help develop that section of campus.

“One of the things (University Architect Tom Ganey) presented to us was the university master plan,” Anderson said. “It has this vision of, just as how Wiscon-sin Avenue forms this corridor, there would be 14th Street as a new corridor. And to make that happen, the university will have to get rid of the Jes Res.”

and does not consult on criminal matters, it does offer brief legal advice to people on civil matters pro bono.

Current Marquette Law School students and attorneys from Mi-chael Best & Friedrich LLP staff the bus and specialize in civil areas like family matters and landlord-tenant cases. Each cli-ent is given about 30 to 45 min-utes with attorneys. The staff members run on shifts during a four-hour period.

The Mobile Legal Clinic it-self is a Marquette bus split into two offices with roll out furni-ture. Each office has computers, Ethernet, access to legal infor-mation and a few hard copies of legal documents.

The clinic debuted in Septem-ber and — with the exception of December when the weather relat-ed issues canceled the trip — runs once a month. This past Saturday saw the Mobile Legal Clinic’s first trip in 2014. The bus parked

outside the Parklawn YMCA and set up inside.

Angela Schultz, the pro bono director of the law school, said there was a good turnout despite the frigid weather.

“About 10 clients have been served each time it has run,” Schultz said. “This Saturday, eight clients received service.”

Though a little more than six months old, the program re-ceived considerable local recog-nition. It was labeled one of the

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Big Ideas of 2013. Mary Ferw-erda, coordinator for the Mobile Legal Clinic and class of 2011 Marquette law school alumna, is proud of the clinic’s work.

“This project has been one of the most enjoyable and exciting things I have ever worked in my career,“ Ferwerda said. “It’s been so enjoyable because of all the different people who collaborate to support and the enthusiasm and willingness to jump in and help.”

THE PRICE OF INTUITION


Tuition: MU to cut ‘administrative expenses’ while reviewing budgetgraduate school, the Graduate School of Management or the College of Professional Studies, will not increase.

The news of the latest tuition jump resulted in mix of feelings among students.

“I’m really glad that it’s the smallest increase (since 2009),” said Olivia Doyle, a

sophomore in the College of Education. “I understand that there’s a lot of factors that go into tuition, so it’s something to be appreciative of that the in-crease wasn’t enormous because college is super expensive.”

Others like Joseph Mari-neau, a junior in the College of Engineering, expressed more frustration.

“It didn’t go up as much as earlier years,” Marineau said. “But at the same time, it did go up.”

Marquette tuition increases every year to keep up with the rising costs of higher educa-tion. In the university’s Fi-nancial Overview, the Of-fice of Finance identifies the key cost drivers in the industry, including labor, maintaining buildings and equipment, technol-ogy and regulation.

Students frustrated with the recent in-

crease in tuition may be relieved to know tuition behavior became a lot less extreme during the few years.

Between 2003 and 2013, Marquette’s per-semester undergrad tu-ition increased by 76 percent, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis.

Adjust those prices to inflation, and Marquette’s per-semester undergrad tuition increased by about 36 percent. The ris-ing prices were most violent right in the midst of the reces-sion, when tuition increased by 12.4 percent for the 2008-09 school year, the largest price jump at Marquette since at least the ‘60s.

Since that increase, though, tuition hikes cooled down sub-stantially. No increase surpassed more than 4.5 percent between 2009 and 2014, achieved by the work of the univer-sity’s Office of Finance.

“It’s been a conscience, de-liberate effort to keep costs low,” Vice President of Finance John Lamb said in an interview in October.

Lamb also said the uni-versity is al-ways examining its budget to be more efficient. Although last year’s budget increased by about $3.5 million according to the Office of Finance, Lamb said expenditures scaled back about $2.5 million.

FUTURE BUDGET CUTS

Efforts to reduce the budget will extend into Marquette’s next fiscal year as well.

“Finalizing the tuition rate is just one of many steps in the budget process, which is ongoing,” said An-drew Brodzeller, associate direc-tor of university communication, in an email.

In a letter to par-ents, Interim Uni-versity President the Rev. Robert A. Wild said the uni-versity achieved this reduction in price growth by

examining its budget and making “cost-reduction initiatives.”

“My top priority since Oc-tober has been working with the university leadership team to take a proactive approach to reduce costs and improve

efficiencies across campus,” Wild wrote in the letter. “This fiscal focus recognizes our need to control costs for students and parents, while continuing to pro-vide a Catholic, Jesuit education steeped in excellence.”

Brodzeller said the univer-sity laid out four goals in plan-ning the budget for fiscal year 2015. One of those goals was to decrease the rate at which tuition would increase, which was accomplished.

The other three goals include balancing the FY2015 budget; creating a merit pool to provide salary increases to retain and re-cruit faculty and staff; and form-ing a strategic initiative fund to finance new initiatives in the strategic plan.

As part of the process to shape the budget for FY2015, the President’s Advisory Group asked each dean and division head of the university to prepare three budget cut scenarios — 5 percent, 10 percent and 15 per-cent — in December. Lamb said in an email that faculty salary

expenditures are exempt from the budget scenarios, and the focus of the budget assessment process will be on “administra-tive expenditures.”

“We’re having discussions all the time,” Lamb said. “Ev-erything’s on the table. We’re looking at personnel and we’re going to try to justify each of the positions.”

Brodzeller said details of the bud-get will be decid-ed over the next two months.

“The budget scenarios were provided to ensure the process is re-flective, thought-ful and inclusive, while providing multiple options to assess how the university can best manage costs and continue to provide a world-class education for our students with faculty and staff dedicated to their work and the Marquette mission,” Brodzeller said.

FINANCIAL AID FROM MU

Although the tuition rate in-creased for all students, no one student pays the same rate due to financial aid.

Susan Teerink, director of stu-dent aid, said in an interview in December that almost 99 percent of students receive some form of financial aid from the university, government or other source. She also said the university does not compute the average amount stu-dents pay after aid because “it’s not very helpful.”

“It’s very individualized,” Teerink said. “We award based on each person’s family circumstance.”

Teerink did note, however, the amount of financial aid offered

to students increased greatly over the past three decades. In the late ‘80s financial aid be-came a strategy for schools to re-cruit students, not only based on need but also on merit. In a way, she said, schools began to com-pete with their dollars to attract great students, and merit-based

aid has only grown since.

“It’s sort of like a treadmill where, now that everybody else is doing it, you don’t want to be the first to get off,” Teer-ink said. “It re-ally would put you at a disad-vantage when it comes to recruiting stu-dents.”

Teerink referred to this process as an “arms race,” which she said really affected higher education and put Marquette at a huge disadvantage.

“We don’t have a tremendous amount of money and leeway to do that because we tend to have a fairly needy popula-tion,” Teerink said. “We often can’t offer the aid package that schools with much bigger en-dowments can offer.”

Marquette discounts just under a third of the revenue it collects from tuition fees, a percentage which did not change much over the past decade according to the Office of Finance. However, the amount of money discount-ed to students nearly doubled in that time period.

In 2003, 30 percent of tuition revenue was discounted, com-pared to 32 percent discounted in 2013. Discounts took a dip, though, during the recession, hit-ting a low of 26 percent of revenue in 2008.

Teerink said despite the university’s efforts to cut costs, she thinks it would be unlikely for the university to cut financial aid in the future because it is a vital aspect of enrollment. Most likely in the years to come the amount of discounts to students will continue to rise at the same rate as tuition.

This, she said, is always diffi-cult for families.

“We never have enough mon-ey,” Teerink said. “Even with all that we have to offer, it’s just never enough.”

THE QUESTION REMAINS

While reviewing student re-actions to the increase, one of the most common senti-ments expressed by students is the confusion as to where the increase in tuition dollars spe-cifically goes.

“I understand the cost will increase with time,” Mari-neau said. “But no one actually knows what the money is go-ing for. We just know we have to pay more.”

Hansen expressed similar sentiments, which she said she developed while working at a university office. She, like many other undergraduates, indicat-ed she would like more details from the university about its budgeting process.

“I just really want to know where it’s all going,” Han-sen said. “I feel like we could cut costs somewhere … Is it necessary? Is it really worth $1,280 more?”

I understand the cost will

increase with time, but no one actually knows what the money is going for. We just know we have to pay more.”

Marquee reveals student memories, mishaps from LIMOs

Since its inception 24 years ago, the Marquette LIMOs have transported more than six million students, with nearly 300,000 last year alone. With such an extensive track re-cord, every student has at least one memorable experience in those wonderfully cramped, blue vans. From drive-thru excursions to drunken sing-alongs, here are some of the most noteworthy Marquette LIMO encounters.

The LIMO fallsStudents often slip getting in

and out of LIMOs, especially in icy winter weather, or at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night, mak-ing it the most common mishap. Other times, an impatient driv-er hits the gas before students even sit down, causing them to topple forward on top of a total stranger. Marquee heard count-less stories of students tripping,

falling and toppling over, but one from Joey Betori, a junior in the College of Arts & Sci-ences, is the most amusing of them all.

“Before the seat belt rule, we managed to get like 20 dudes from (lacrosse) and their gear

in (one LIMO) consistently,” Betori said. “Then as we were all starting to pile out, my friend stepped on his bag strap and ate it as he was getting out. The second his face hit the pavement, some random guy in front of the Ardmore started throwing eggs at him. I couldn’t stop laughing.”

LIMO sing-alongsThe beautiful voices of Mar-

quette students can be heard echoing throughout LIMOs if you’re lucky enough to have a van full of willing singers. It is always a special moment when one student starts singing the song playing on the radio fol-lowed by another in the back who gets his or her friends to join in. Before you know it, you are all belting out Katy Perry’s “Roar” together in somewhat harmony. Whether it’s chanting “USA” or breaking out clas-sics like “The Wheels on the Bus,” singing with a group of random students is one the best bonding moments you can have at Marquette.

“I remember at one party we sang ‘Wagon Wheel’ like four times,” said Jake Weber, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration. “Then we got in a LIMO and lo and be-hold, ‘Wagon Wheel’ came on again. Not even having to think about it, everyone in the LIMO started singing. Then when the song was done, we asked our driver to turn off the radio so that we could sing it again.”

LIMO Food ServiceOne of the most requested

destinations for LIMO drop-offs is Wells Street, where students gather for a variety of late night food. But every once and a while, one LIMO full of lucky students will ride through the drive-thrus at food establishments off the normal LIMO routes.

“One time my freshman year, we had a chill LIMO driver take us through the drive-thru at Mc-Donalds,” Betori said. “We all got shamrock shakes together.”

“I once saw an entire LIMO full of kids go through the Taco Bell drive-thru when I was walking home,” said Teresa Lipowski, a sophomore in the College of Communication.

Overheard LIMO Conversations

There always seems to be one student who’s having a very personal conversation with a friend as the rest of the LIMO riders sit in an entertained si-lence and listen. If you’re looking for good gossip or just want to escape your life and listen about the lives of oth-ers, turn off your TV and call a LIMO, where some of the most interesting conversations can be heard.

“One time there were three people on the LIMO together, one dude and two girls,” Lipow-ski said. “Either way, it became pretty clear that the girl who sat next to me was the third wheel when she announced to the whole LIMO that the other guy

and girl were currently hook-ing up in the back. She also told us about the guy’s ex girlfriend who also goes to Marquette. She basically shared his whole life story while he made out with a girl in the back seat.”

Weekend LIMOsFrom Monday to Thursday,

the LIMOs can be found on their normal routes bringing stu-dents to and from class or pick-ing them up from a late night at Raynor. These nights are a little quieter, less crowded and more manageable for LIMO drivers. But once Friday comes around, the LIMOs quickly fill up with eager — and often intoxicated — students on their way to par-ties and other social events. For some of them, getting to their destination via LIMO is half of the fun.

An anonymous junior in the College of Communications ad-mits, “Me and my friends have shot-gunned plenty of beers in the back the LIMOs. They’re pretty quick to kick us out if we get caught. But it makes for an interesting pregame.”

“Weekend LIMO rides are (a) whole lot of sloppy,” said Cailey Rogers, a sophomore in the College of Health and Sci-ences, said. “One time I saw this girl drunkenly dancing inside one of the LIMOs and then when she got dropped off on the corner, she instantly laid down right outside the door on the grass. That was one of the better moments.”

Stuart Beattie’s ‘I, Frankenstein’ a monster of a film

Glorioso’s serves up secret recipes at cooking class

Dry remake of Mary Shelley’s classic novel fails to come alive

Italian market owner dishes out tips on making quality pizza

Movies like “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” captivate audi-ences with a whole new world of fantasy filled with epic con-frontations and plot twists. “I, Frankenstein,” however, lacks the energy to keep its audiences captivated.

Aaron Eckhart stars as Victor Frankenstein’s creation, Adam, in writer and director Stuart Be-attie’s latest film. Beattie bases the sci-fi movie off of Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel of the same title, taking its concept of a modern-day Frankenstein and turning it into a character-driven action film. Throughout the movie, watchful gargoyles, led by Queen Leonore (Miranda Otto), and vicious demons, un-der the command of Naberius (Bill Nighy), fight for Franken-stein’s creation and the secret to his immorality. Adam, there-fore, is forced to live on his own in constant search for an escape from the underworld creatures out to get him.

The film does not have a particularly complex story line;

Pizza was once considered the food for peasants, according to Fe-lice Glorioso, the manager of Glo-rioso’s Italian Market. However, in this day and age, this tasty food choice does not appeal just to the downtrodden.

By Stephanie HarteSpecial to the Tribune

By Hannah ByronSpecial to the Tribune

People all over the world, regard-less of economic class, now enjoy the traditional Italian dish. Shar-ing a pie adds a sense of solidar-ity to everyday dining and brings people from different walks of life together, like it brought pizza lov-ers over to Glorioso’s on Brady Street Saturday.

Every so often, Glorioso’s hosts special cooking events where guests learn how to make pizza and other Italian foods in their own kitchens. Last weekend, the Brady Street favorite shared tips and tricks of the trade with a class titled, “Top Secret Pizza.” It gave a brief tuto-

rial on how to make pizza dough and marinara sauce, which includ-ed the recipes for five pizzas: the sfincione, pizza margherita, pizza bianca, pizza with taleggio and pizza Napolitana.

With the aroma of Italy in the air, the welcoming and engaging classroom environment provided the perfect cooking condi-tions. Glorioso explained each step in the pizza making process while also giving his students a crash course in culinary history. He also noted the differences between Ital-ian and American pizza.

For example, according to Glo-

rioso, sausage and pepperoni are not as common pizza top-pings in Italy as they are in the United States.

“If you say pepperoni in Naples, you’re going to get shot,” he said.

Participants were encouraged to ask questions and get the scoop on how to improve their cooking. Suggesting the right kind of flour, cheese and cooking utensils for roll-ing the pizza dough were just some of the many secrets Glorioso shared. He even passed different ingredi-ents like cheese and marinara sauce around the room so each participant

could smell their freshness and un-derstand what goes into a delicious pizza.

Most of the attendees seemed to have background knowledge of Italian cooking, but even begin-ners were made welcome thanks to Glorioso’s simple instruc-tion. He encouraged cooks with a variety of culinary skills to join and take part in the classes the market offers.

Unlike the strict rules that the Italians have toward making pizza, Glorioso told the participants to ex-periment with ingredients and add whatever they wanted. According to him, recipes are not rules; they are guidelines.

“If you like it,” he said, “do it.”

After the tutorial, the pizza lovers were rewarded for their patience with pizza samples. The transformation from individual ingredients to the final product was magical as well as mouth watering.

Although the class attendees said they enjoyed the taste of each pizza, the applause for the pizza margheri-ta was louder than the rest, making it the favorite pizza of the day.

“(Glorioso’s) is a neat place to get Italian products and making pizza is a fun thing to do on a Saturday,” participant Wayne Surgui said after the class.

Robyn Kempf, who at-tended a class from Glorioso’s last fall said, “The best part of the class was eating pizza and getting recipes.”

It often surprises Glorioso when customers tell him how their cook-ing tastes better after taking his class. He believes that the chef, not necessarily the recipe, is what makes a dish.

“I just give you the recipe,” explained Glorioso. “You make it yourself.”

Aaron Eckhart plays Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, Adam, and must fight alongside gargoyles to stop evil demons from creating an army of the undead.

it lacks the ability to lighten the mood with a joke or even a love interest.

“I, Frankenstein” begins with a brief description of Mary Shel-ley’s original novel of Franken-stein. Then, before you know it, Adam is rushed away by gar-goyles who are trying to protect him from demons who want to use Dr. Frankenstein’s creation, as well as his journal, to create an army of re-animated corpses.

The gargoyles and demons provide a refreshing change of pace from the werewolves and vampires overused in today’s television shows and movies, but the dry dialogue and lack of emotion do not support the film’s ambition to stand out. The movie simply jumps between vicious fight scenes, causing audiences to wonder why these mythical creatures are even fighting in the first place.

The audience’s hopes for some type of plot progression are momentarily raised when the leader of Naberius’ research group, a beautiful blonde named Terra (Yvonne Strahovski), be-gins to develop feelings for Adam. Unfortunately, the po-tential romance is never ex-panded upon, and the storyline remains as lifeless as one of Dr. Frankenstein’s creations.

The movie also lacks an exhilarating soundtrack to break up the dialogue and fight scenes,

which could have made up for the uninteresting plot. However, the set design gives off a strong, dark underworld vibe that keeps the audience attentive to the screen, if not the content of the film.

Although the script does not give the actors much to work with, it successfully captures the essence of the Franken-stein characters. Eckhart com-mits to the role of a hunky ac-tion hero but the script forces

him to maintain an intense face throughout the story, depriv-ing the audience from seeing his softer side shown in mov-ies like “No Reservations” and “Love Happens.”

Nighy and Otto also command the screen with their portray-als as confident leaders who demand attention, while Stra-hovski puts a new twist on the traditional nerdy scientist with her beauty and charm.

“I, Frankenstein” wastes the

talent of many Hollywood hot-shots, as well as the intense spe-cial effects and detailed set. The lack of plot twists in the story forces the film into the realm of dull predictability. If the concept of the story or actors’ performances still interest you, save yourself the money and trip into the bitter cold and wait un-til “I, Frankenstein” comes out on DVD or Netflix.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Tuition increase prompts need for additional information

Full-time undergraduate students will face a 3.7 percent increase in tuition the 2014-2015 academic year, bringing the total to $35,480. At $1,280, the latest in-crease is the smallest yearly bump since the 2009-10 academic year.

Higher education costs continue to climb across the United States with the implementation of new technologies and additional costs of labor. Interim Univer-sity President the Rev. Robert A. Wild has taken this into account while trying to reduce university costs and maintain an efficient institution. In December, deans and division heads were instructed to prepare various budgets for hypotheti-cal cuts and to provide justification for positions within the departments.

The tuition jump is unfortunate for students, but it is a prevalent concern for administrators who are actively trying to keep tuition increases at a minimum. We should remain informed about how budgeting for the 2015 fiscal year pro-gresses as the efforts to keep costs low will be on the students’ behalf.

Administrators appear to be in firm control of the current financial condi-tions of the university, taking action to use available funds in the best way pos-sible. University donations increased by $4 million during the 2013 fiscal year from the previous year and there is still a persistent push to minimize costs.

However, we remain skeptical over the possible implications of the budget re-duction. In an email, Office of Finance Vice President, John Lamb, said faculty

Our view: The university’s Office of Finance should be forthcoming regarding the 2014-15 school year budget.

salary expenditures would be exempt from reduction, though a primary focus will be on administrative expenditures. We are pleased faculty salaries will not suffer from the budget reduction but are concerned about the possibility of staff and faculty layoffs.

Mass layoffs could be inevitable with the departments of the university gen-erating their own reports on marginal personnel and how additional expenses can be trimmed. With the university try-ing to minimize expenses and students wanting to keep the cost of tuition at low, prevention of staff layoffs should be equally considered as the budget for 2015 moves forward.

While it is inevitable for tuition to in-crease due to construction projects and additional technology costs, we com-mend the university for lowering the ris-ing rate of tuition for students. With our reservations in mind, we hope adminis-trators will be forthcoming with infor-mation regarding the university budget of next year as it develops.

Last year, Lamb released a breakdown of where tuition goes in the university, informing interested students and par-ents alike of Marquette’s overall budget. The university should continue doing this with future budgets to create a sense of openness regarding its financial state to quell frustrations.

It is in the best interest of students, staff and faculty for Marquette’s Office of Finance to be clear about the budget reduction’s development, as it involves everyone doing their part to ensure the efficiency of the university now and into the future.

Tuition for the 2014-2015 school year will once again increase and the price of room and board along with it. Next year, typical room and board is said to cost $11,000, ac-cording to the university’s website. The news brief sent to campus indicated that room and board would rise 2.5 percent f rom this year.

Fortunately, I will be out of the dorms next year, so I do not have to worry about this too much. However, when I look at the dorms around campus, the price of living is simply too high.

Last year, as a freshman, I lived in the ever so infamous McCormick. Before moving into the building, everyone knows what it will be like. It is going to be loud, crammed and social. The building itself is obviously not in the best of condition, but a double room still costs $10,850. The overall functionality of the building was less to be excited about, mainly because you could hardly move.

Like most of my friends and classmates, I wanted to live in Schroeder my sopho-more year. After a brief stint in Carpenter, I made my way to Schroeder. With each move I make, I’m continually frustrated by every building.

If you look at prices of residence halls at universities around the Midwest, you will find that Marquette has some of the high-est. Take Northwestern. The highest price of living is $10,020 per year, and that room is a single with a private bathroom. Marquette’s most expensive housing option is a single in Carpenter, which cost $12,460 this year.

As I look to next year, I am excited not to have the Gatorade machine eat my money, not have to run down eight flights of stairs because the elevator is broken and not to share a bathroom with dozens of people. However, next year will not be all better.

I will no longer live with all of my best friends. I am assuredly living with great people next year, but when you live in a residence hall, you experience something that can never be replicated.When else are you going to live with 700 people? Besides the constant access to food, residents in the dorms can see anyone they want without leaving the building.

Living in the dorms has been great and I think they shaped a large part of my ex-perience at Marquette. The problem is stu-dents do not have many options. A major-ity of people want to live in McCormick or Schroeder, but the fact is not everyone can. Therefore, prices tend to be higher for those people as rooms are at a premium.

The university needs to actually put the money students and their families spend on room and board to support the longev-ity of the residence halls. In addition, the promised amenities of each building need to be looked after carefully for students to get the bang for their buck and really enjoy the experience.

Every game of Monopoly is very similar. It starts off slow with everyone having a couple of properties, then everyone buys a couple more and before you know it, backhanded trades and talks of an alliance emerge. Then, if your friends are anything like mine, the board gets flipped and peo-ple go home upset.

Now take a long hard look at Netflix. It has hotels on everything except Park Place and Broadway, and I’m about to flip the board. Netflix is on the verge of a monop-

oly and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

The online streaming service is domi-nating entertainment streaming with over 29.2 million subscribers. Hulu, which many consider to be its closest competi-tor, clocks in at 4 million paid subscrib-ers. Amazon Instant Video doesn’t have statistics related to its streaming video ser-vice, but it generates the third most traf-fic with a measly 1 percent (Netflix has 32 percent of total web traffic for video streaming).

Stocks for Netflix are soaring even though the company recently approved a proposal to raise rates, and I highly doubt the increased subscription rate will cost the company a substantial amount of subscrib-ers.

So what’s the problem? As great as Netflix is, movie and tele-

vision companies don’t like dealing with them as it isn’t nearly as profitable. They only get a slice of the pie.

It’s simple: When you buy a movie from

Netflix holds monopoly in online streaming

the studio that released it, the studio re-ceives lot more money. If it is put on Netf-lix, the studio gets a cut from the 29.2 mil-lion subscribers. Unfortunately, the cut the studios get isn’t as much as the actual sale, and they want more.

The inability to control what users pay for their content as well as a lack of possible pro-motion is making the Netflix model unde-sirable to many major studios. As contracts expire with Netflix, the streaming service has to take down popular content because the studios want more money for it, and the fine folks at Netflix don’t want to make the numbers match.

Another budding problem that becomes evident the longer you hold a subscrip-tion is that after you binge watch Break-ing Bad, Scrubs and everything else on the “popular” page, the amount of depth to the catalogue is surprisingly weak (my account is now filled with Rasta Mouse. Thanks, roommates!). Yet, Netf-lix signs up subscribers on a daily basis, and now it even offers separate profiles

on each account because it knows account sharing is inevitable.

Most likely, Netflix will continue to be the money-hungry, media-streaming outlet of choice for years to come. Studios con-tinue to toy with the idea of offering pre-mium subscription plans that allow con-sumers unlimited access to all the shows to which they have rights, and although it seems like a good idea, no one has success-fully implemented it (HBO GO, I’m talk-ing to you).

Unfortunately for the consumer, Netflix basically has free reign. It can charge what it wants, offer a rapidly decreasing cata-logue and continue to rake in subscriptions until someone breaks up the monopoly.

Now, you’ll have to excuse me. I’m still looking for the dog game piece from my last game of Monopoly.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”–Mahatma Gandhi

The men’s lacrosse team traveled to North Carolina over the weekend for its first competition of the year, facing High Point.

During the preseason, no scores or statistics are kept, but the team did see its first full field six-on-six action since early November. Redshirt senior faceoff specialist Cullen Cassidy said the team per-

formed well despite spending the offseason indoors.

“We didn’t do any fall ball compe-tition, so it was a good chance to see how we would line up against anoth-er team and it was nice to get out of Milwaukee for a bit and get on a full field,” Cassidy said.

Coach Joe Amplo said he wants the team to play smart and not be afraid to make mistakes in the preseason. Though he had no ex-pectations against High Point, Am-plo said he wanted the team to get the jitters out before the regular season begins.

“We had to make these guys as relaxed as possible, so that any mistakes that they made weren’t

because of nerves and weren’t because of winning or losing, it was just simply a mistake,” Amplo said. “We had to treat it like a good practice.”

While many of the team’s regu-lar starters played in Saturday’s scrimmage, Amplo let many of the young, first-year play-ers see their first collegiate ac-tion. Many of them stepped up in their debuts.

Freshman attackman Andy DeMichiei and many other fresh-man midfielders played well of-fensively. In addition, senior J.J. Sagl was impressive in net, but still needs to work on things before the season begins.

“(DiMichiei) was probably the best of the group but Jordan Green, Ryan McNamara, Nicky Eufrasio and Logan Tousaw did a very nice job,” Amplo said. “J.J. Sagl played very well. He made a lot of great stops. His negative was his outlet passes. He turned the ball over in the clearing game a little bit but he made some really nice saves.”

At this point last year in the team’s inaugural season, the scrimmages proved tough and displayed many of the disadvantages of a first year program. This year, the squad is far-ther along in preparation with many returning players leading the way.

“I never cease to be amazed by

what they can do and what these kids can handle,” Amplo said. “It’s a sign of growth.”

Less than two weeks separate the team from the regular season opener against Lehigh. This weekend, the team faces Michigan and will play a half against Denison in scrim-mages similar to the one against High Point.

“We’re going to treat this one more like a game,” redshirt sopho-more defender Liam Byrnes said. “Last weekend against High Point we just wanted to get our feet under us and get used to playing again, but we’re going to take this one a lot more serious.”

Senior Carlye Schuh, last week’s Big East Women’s Field Athlete of the Week, took sec-ond in the women’s long jump with a jump just more than 19 feet and also placed fifth in the 60 meter dash with a personal best 7.77.

Bret Hardin, the reigning Big East Conference Men’s Field

Athlete of the Week, had a dis-appointing third place finish in the weight throw with a top dis-tance of 60-feet-11.5-inches.

Freshman Omo Tseumah continued her strong start and placed second in the women’s high jump with a height of 5-feet 7.75-inches, and fellow freshman Bridg-et Bodee placed fifth with a height of 5-feet-5.25-inches. Both jumps are in the top-10 in program history.

Marquette’s next meet is Sat-urday, Feb. 1 at the Jack Jennett Invitational hosted by Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Poor shooting in first half too much for Golden Eagles to beat

Women’s basketball suffers first road loss of season

The Marquette women’s bas-ketball team dropped its first road game of the season Satur-day, losing to Creighton 83-64.

The Golden Eagles (13-5, 4-3) traveled to Omaha, Neb., looking to move up in the Big East rankings. But for the sec-ond straight weekend, Mar-quette fell to the No. 2 team in the conference. With the loss, the Golden Eagles dropped into the fourth spot, while the Bluejays became one game closer to retaking the top spot from St. John’s.

Coach Terri Mitchell said playing on the road is difficult.

“The Big East is tough,” Mitchell told GoMarquette.com. “(Creighton) is a tough place to play.”

For only the second time all season, Marquette was out-rebounded by its opponent. Creighton boxed out the Golden Eagles, outrebounding the team 41-30, including a 32-24 advan-tage on the defensive glass. It was the first time a Big East op-ponent beat them on the boards.

Marquette’s shooting troubles continued in the first half, where the Golden Eagles only shot 22.2 percent from the field, in-cluding a seven-minute stretch where the team didn’t make a single basket. Marquette con-

tinued to miss three-pointers, as none of the five attempts in the first half fell. The Golden Ea-gles were aided by making 15-of-18 free throws, but allowed Creighton to enter the half with a 17-point lead.

Mitchell said the poor first half was a reason why the team suffered its first road loss.

“We dug ourselves a hole early, and we just never got out,” she said. “We just weren’t

knocking the shots down. Shots we typically make we weren’t knocking down.”

The Golden Eagles shot bet-ter in the second half, making 44.4 percent of shots from the field. However, with Creigh-ton shooting 50 and 55.2 per-cent in the first and second half, respectively, the lead was just too much for Marquette to overcome. Junior Apiew Ojulu lead all of Marquette scorers

with 12 points, while junior Ar-lesia Morse followed suit with 11 points and five rebounds. Junior Cristina Bigica rounded out Marquette’s double-digit scorers with 10 points.

“We played them even in the second half,’ Mitchell said. “But too little, too late.”

One problem the Golden Ea-gles did correct was turnovers. Both teams only committed 15 turnovers for the game, 10 less

than against St. John’s. Mar-quette benefited from those turnovers slightly more than Creighton did, as the Gold-en Eagles notched 19 points off turnovers compared to Creighton’s 18.

Marquette will look to get back in the win column at De-Paul Wednesday night. Tip-off from the Allstate Arena is 7 p.m.

Marquette’s men’s basket-ball showed serious promise in Saturday’s loss to No. 4 Vil-lanova, but at the end of the day, the game was just that – another loss.

The 2013-14 Golden Eagles are in the process of reinventing themselves, and the results shined through in recent games. The team now relies on junior guard

Patrick Leary

Is it too little, too late for men’s basketball this season?Todd Mayo in crunch time, and the Huntington, W.Va., product came up big in the final minute against Villanova and George-town. Freshman guard John Daw-son developed his outside shot and presented a strong contrast to junior Derrick Wilson at the point. Sophomore forward Steve Taylor, Jr. has seen his role devel-op lately, logging 23 minutes in each of the past two contests fol-lowing a streak of seven out of 10 did-not-plays.

Despite all of this progress, the basic facts remain: This team is 11-9 and 3-4 in a mediocre con-ference. Every opportunity for a decent win on the team’s sched-ule went by the wayside, with the exception of George Wash-ington on a neutral site, and an embattled Georgetown squad on

the road in overtime. Butler is the only one of Marquette’s nine losses that could be considered bad, but Hinkle Fieldhouse is a brutal place to play.

In recent years, Buzz Williams’ teams stood out because of their ability to capitalize on victories from a team perceived as hav-ing limited talent. This year, Marquette is remarkably unre-markable. The Golden Eagles win games they should, and lose games when they face any sort of adversity.

Last Monday, the team broke through a glass ceiling of sorts, beating the Hoyas on the road in overtime. Marquette appeared dead to rights, but Mayo resusci-tated the game by drilling a three-pointer with six ticks left in regu-lation. The Golden Eagles cruised

in the extra period and suddenly, the thought that this team could battle through adversity actually seemed realistic.

The confidence Marquette showed against Georgetown carried over into the Villanova game. After a vicious JayVaughn Pinkston slam, the team fell be-hind 68-57, with under five min-utes remaining. Unfazed, Mayo and the Golden Eagles surged back and forced overtime with some miraculous shooting and a few good breaks.

Unfortunately, a few good breaks weren’t enough to secure a victory against a top-five oppo-nent like the Wildcats. Marquette still needed to play defense in the overtime period, and it did that horribly, failing to record a single defensive stop. While the magic

Mayo conjured up showed this team has promise, the loss goes down as yet another missed op-portunity in a season full of them.

Some chances still remain for the Golden Eagles to build their resume and sneak into the NCAA Tournament. Marquette hosts Creighton Feb. 19 and could score a big win at Vil-lanova March 2. To expect a team that’s consistently losing against top competition to im-mediately reverse its ways so late in the season and win seven of nine games seems drastic. For better or for worse, this might be an NIT squad come March.

Fuquan Edwin Senior Guard

Seton Hall

After finishing with just 12 points and losing the ball on the final possession of a loss to St. John’s Thursday, Edwin responded in a big way against DePaul. The senior was hon-ored before Saturday’s 86-69 rout of the Blue Demons for eclipsing the career mark for

steals in Seton Hall history. He proceeded to drop 30 points, connecting on 11 field goals, including three three-pointers. Edwin added to his new school record with a steal, dished two assists and pulled down two rebounds in the win.

Player of the Week

Big east notebook Providence continues to roll

The Friars showed their sur-prising start was anything but a fluke last week as two more wins confirmed them as a Big East title contender. Led by Bryce Cotton’s 18 points and Kadeem Batts’ career-high 17 rebounds, Providence knocked off Butler at home 65-56. More impressive, however, was Saturday’s 81-72 victory against Xavier. Junior forward LaDontae Henton recorded a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Cotton led all scorers with 25 points and dished seven assists. The win placed Providence in a tie with the Musketeers for third place in the conference, one game behind second-place

Villanova. After starting 0-2, the Friars have now rattled off five wins in a row and are the only team in the Big East to beat first-place Creighton. With a verified star in Cotton and a much more consistent front-court presence, Providence looks like a balanced squad that should eventually command a spot in the Top 25.

St. John’s secures first two conference wins

Steve Lavin’s team came into last week winless in Big East play, but after victories against Seton Hall and Butler, the Red Storm is now seventh in the conference at 2-5. After snap-ping a five-game losing streak against Dartmouth the previous Saturday, the Red Storm clung to a 77-76 lead against the Pirates in the final

This battle between two of the top teams in the conference should have major implications down the stretch. Villanova is hoping to claw its

way back into first place after taking a beating from Creighton and narrowly escaping with an overtime win at Marquette. A victory for Xavier, meanwhile,

seconds of Thursday’s contest. Sir’Dominic Pointer redeemed himself for lobbing an inbounds pass out of bounds by knock-ing the ball away from Fuquan Edwin at midcourt as time ex-pired. After finishing with 16 points in the win, JaKarr Samp-son dropped a game-high 20 points in St. Johns’ next game in Indianapolis against the Bull-dogs. The Red Storm convinc-ingly beat last-place Butler 69-52 after shooting 52.6 percent from the field. Highly touted freshman Rysheed Jordan showed he’s starting to live up to the hype, with 23 points com-bined in the two victories, while D’Angelo Harrison scored 16 in each game. With the win over the Pirates, St. John’s finished its home schedule at Carnesec-ca Arena 8-1 and will play the remainder of its home contests at Madison Square Garden.
