go to a better school.
i can't imagine any 4-year university that wouldn't have at least a part-time percussion faculty member, who would of course know all you'd expect him/her to know about the instrument (hopefully). if you can't afford to go to a different school, maybe you could call up a larger university's music department and ask about taking lessons from a grad student. that's what i did in highschool.
you could also attempt to learn as much as you can on your own. buy leigh howard stephen's "method of movement" (that's probably the most common marimba book) and read the text, and start on exercise #1, but remember not to cheat yourself. that's where the convenience of a teacher comes in handy...it's easy to let yourself get away with more than you probably should...but a good instructor won't let you.
good luck!
