While none of those killings occurred on the Marquette campus. they all occurred in the community surrounding the campus. where many Marquette students live in rental housing. The latest. the January 14 murder of Mario Gonzalez. a 22yearold senior in Marquettes engineering school occurred outside an offcampus Marquette fraternity house. Mario was just months away from earning the first college diploma in his family of immigrants from Mexico City. He was shot to death by a 15yearold boy who apparently wanted the portable stereo given to him for Christmas. Marquette and most other American universities have recognized that information alone will not solve this growing problem.
