By Devi Shastri devi.shastri@marquette.edu See Flu Shots, Page 2 MU clinic combats flu vaccine stigmas As flu season looms, the Mar-quette medical clinic kicked into full gear to meet the demand for vaccinations. Despite an overall increase in the number of vaccines adminis-tered, the clinic is still working to combat stigma and misconcep-tions surrounding both the flu vi-rus and shot. The clinic gave around 1,400 shots by the end of September, an increase of nearly 10 per-cent from last year. Lynda Col-lins, a medical clinic nurse and coordinator of the flu clinic, credits this increase to the fact that Marquette is now giving out the vaccines, rather than an outside agency.

Photo by Cassie Pieschel/cassie. pieschel@maruqette.edu “One of my goals was to get the outside agency off campus and have our medical clinic adminis-ter the flu shots,” she said. As a result, the clinic is in-creasingly busy this time of year, as it is open to students and faculty, in addition to the general public. The clinic is advantageous to patients and professionals alike. Nursing students can even administer the shots on a vol-unteer basis to gain valuable clinical experience. “The first few times I adminis-tered the injections, I was really focused on the actual administra-tion and didn’t really converse with the patient,” Chrystal Mat-tappillil, a junior in the College of Nursing, said. “After a few of them, I realized that conversing with the patient puts them at ease and makes their experience a bit easier because they are distracted and won’t typically focus on the needle that’s being placed into MU to collect input on police By Rob Gebelhof robert.gebelhoff@marquette.edu University President Michael Lovell announced Wednesday that the university will collect community feedback at the end of October before he decides on the commissioning of a Mar-quette police force. Paul Mascari, chief of the Department of Public Safety, will host presentations about what the transition would in-clude, and will lead forums with faculty, staff, students and the neighborhood. Police powers would give DPS officers the ability to ar-rest people, access law enforce-ment records and issue citations and traffic tickets on campus, although the Milwaukee Police Department would retain pri-mary jurisdiction in the area. Mascari, who started his tenure as chief of DPS earlier this summer, said he thinks commissioning a police force, in agreement with MPD, would be the next logical step for his department. “As a private security agen-cy, we’re only able to do so much,” Mascari said. “Our of-ficers rely heavily on the Mil-waukee Police Department to handle things that can only be handled by a police officer. On a Friday or Saturday night, that could take several hours. It would make our jobs a lot easier to handle routine things on our own.” Gov. Scott Walker came to campus last April to sign leg-islation granting Marquette the power to transition DPS into a police force. The legislation, authored by Rep. Dale Kooy-enga (R-Brookfield) and State Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills), only gave Marquette the option to commission, leaving the decision up to the university president.

A Marquette police force would be qualified to ap-ply for federal training grants, but details about how much this will cost the university are not known. “The feedback that we get from the stakeholders will help determine how the plan will be rolled out,” said associate general counsel Doug Smith. “We’re not talking about the numbers yet.” Mascari stressed that the mis-sion of public safety will con-tinue to be keeping students safe, noting that DPS prides the relationship it has developed with students. “Absolutely nothing in po-lice powers will change that,” Mascari said. In terms of the university’s underage drinking policy, DPS currently can’t issue citations against students, but they can call MPD if they think citations are appropriate. Smith said con-sequences would not change if DPS were a police force, but it would give Marquette the chance to customize its alcohol enforcement with the Office of Student Affairs and cut out the middle man.
