Sorority sisters focus on moving forward Alpha Xi Delta members strive to honor crash victims through memorial efforts on campus

By Alissa Widman Managing Editor

When ref lecting on the wrongway crash that killed three of their sisters, the women of Alpha Xi Delta vowed to honor them by living their lives “as they would have.”

Ju n iors Ju l ie Rego a nd Jessica Lash, t he soror it y’s president and v ice president of publ ic relat ions, spoke publicly Thursday for the f irst t ime about t he loss of t he

three students.

“We want to celebrate the lives they lived,” Lash said.

“They made us all stronger people, and we will think about them in all that we do, and bring them with us wherever we go.”

Winif red Lein, 69, of Perrysburg, collided head-on into a car carrying five of Rego and Lash’s sisters at about 2:15 a.m. on Interstate 75, just south of state Route 582.

Lein was driving southbound in a northbound lane and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The crash was unavoidable for the students, who were headed to Metro Detroit Airport to catch a f light to the Dominican Republic for a spring break vacation.

Three students died as a result of the crash: junior Rebekah Blakkolb, 20, of Aurora, Ohio; sophomore Christina Goyett,

19, of Bay City, Mich.; and junior Sarah Hammond, 21, of Yellow Springs, Ohio.

The t wo students who surv ived the crash — freshman A ngel ica Mor m i le, 19, of Ga r f ield Heig hts, Ohio, a nd sophomore Kayla Somoles, 19, of Parma, Ohio — have now been transferred to hospita ls nea r t hei r hometow ns a nd are expected to recover, said Dave K iel meyer, Un iversit y spokesperson.

State Highway Patrol is still invest igat ing t he crash a nd has not yet determined why Lein was driv ing t he w rong way on I-75.

To Rego and Lash, however, the most important question isn’t “why?” but instead “what now?” — a philosophy a pastor advocated at one student’s funeral, Rego said.

Students to perform modern Change in temperatures linked to rise ‘Stations of the Cross’ of allergy issues in students Contemporary elements revamp traditional Bible story

By Alissa Widman Managing Editor

A group of University students is hoping to make a modern-day impact with an age-old story — what some, like Father Michael Dandurand, call “the greatest story ever told.”

Nearly 25 students from St. Thomas More University Parish will perform this week in a contemporary adaptation of the Catholic tradition of Stations of the Cross. The

play, called “That We May Live,” tells the story of Jesus Christ’s passion and death, but in a 21st century setting, Dandurand said.

Dandurand proposed the idea for the play to senior Katie Breidenbach nearly one year ago. Breidenbach, a film major, eagerly accepted the challenge of directing the play and revising its script to be more relevant to University students.

University Health Clinic experiences increase in allergy cases with warmer weather

By Abby Welsh Reporter

Helping students with health issues such as depression, asthma, STI screenings and urinary infections are just a few things the campus Health Clinic deals with.

However, with the temperature going back and forth between cold and hot, student allergies are a more common issue the clinic are dealing with now.

Barbara Hoffman, associate director of Student Health Services said the Health Clinic keeps track of the top ten issues the clinic deals with the most and allergies come in as the sixth problem out of the ten.

“I couldn’t tell you for sure but I don’t think allergies have come early, but there certainly is an increase in the moisture in the air, grass and trees around campus,” Hoffman said. “With

“I think allergy season is here early because we didn’t exactly get a true winter like we should have, which is why there is so much pollen out than there usually wouldn’t be,” McNabb said.

“I wanted to go with the idea that Jesus’ sacrifice is chronologically transcendent, which means it’s not bound by time as we perceive it — it’s a series of events, but it exists outside of time.”

Although the play takes place today — complete with iPhones and current fashion trends — its message remains the same as the original story, Breidenbach said.

“I hope the audience comes away with a sense of being loved,” she said. “I wanted to portray Jesus [in the play] as an active participant in his own crucifixion, to show how he chose to suffer and die for us. He had that much love for us.”

half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead

Happy St. Pattys Day stuffy and I can barely breathe and my head feels clouded and this week being so nice out has really irritated my allergies.”

Freshman Olivia Smith said, “I actually am lucky and I don’t get allergies, and if I do, it’s a little runny nose.”

If students are having trouble w ith a llerg ies, t here a re some ways to help prevent t hem f rom get t i ng worse, Hoffman said.

New students who come from the city are also strongly encouraged to get checked.

“Bowling Green is a pretty big rural city, so when students come here from the city, it is

a pretty big change for them and the students may not know exactly how to handle new allergies, so we want to help,” Hoffman said.

Alergies are a common case at the Health Clinic, and Hoffman is aware of preventative medicines to keep these from worsening “There are prescriptions you can get from your doctor, over the counter medicines can also do the trick for most,” Hoffman said. “Students are also encouraged to schedule an appointment here at the Health Clinic to be evaluated if they are unaware of what kind of allergies they even have.”

Hermann, who will take on the lead role, agreed with Breidenbach.

“I think people need to see the pain and suffering and be stricken by that to get the overall message of love from my character,” he said. “No matter how twofaced or hypocritical the characters in the play are, I’m still there, ready to forgive them, and still seeing them as having the potential to believe in me.”

The play may also help audience members reflect on their own sinfulness, said Junior Andrew McCaffrey, who will portray Alexander, the guard who whips Jesus.

“My character is very much aggressive in his selfishness, and he is in the unique power to act on it,” Alexander said. “My role is to teach people the dangers of selfishness when mixed with authority.”

This year is the first time St. Thomas More has hosted a Stations of the Cross play on campus, but

Dandurand said he is open to the idea of it being a yearly tradition for the Catholic parish during Lent.

“That We May Live” will take place Saturday and Wednesday, with a special opportunity for the Catholic sacrament of reconciliation offered after the Wednesday performance, he said.

“We’ve never done anything quite like this,” he said. “The play, coupled with the sacrament of reconciliation, is a powerful way to experience new life and get back on track, and there’s no better time to do that than during the Lenten season.”

SORORITY From Page 1 “It’s more beneficial to stop asking ‘why? ’ and come to terms with what happened and move on from there,” she said. “The question has really left my head. There’s no point; it just hurts more to think about it.”

Instead, Alpha Xi Delta members want to celebrate the sisters’ lives and their memories of time spent together, Lash said. “[Goyett] was on my council ... and we have so many ideas of hers that we’re going to carry through with, because we want to do them for her,” she said. “They were all amazing leaders, great students and to tee, Alpha Xi Delta sisters.”

The Universit y has organized a memorial service for this Friday called “A Celebration of Sisterhood” to honor the lives of Blakkolb, Goyett and Hammond, Kielmeyer said. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the lawn of University Hall and will conclude with a candlelight vigil that ends at the Alpha Xi Delta house.

The sorority is still deciding what to do as a memorial on campus for the deceased students, Lash said. Several fraternities and sororities have offered to host fundraisers to help collect money for the cause.

“We’ve been doing a lot of fundraising, because we know medical bills aren’t cheap,” she said.

“Then after the memorial, we’re going to try to work with the families and find out what they would want the most.”

For now, Alpha Xi Delta members are “stay ing strong and relying on each other’s support” to cope with the loss of Blakkolb, Goyett and Hammond, Rego said.

“It’s not an individual issue; it’s something that happened to the entire chapter, and we can relate to each other without even saying anything,” she said. “I don’t think

it really hit us until we got back, and I don’t even know if it still has fully ... We’re all going through this together.”

Furries, people who dress up as animals, wish to garner smiles, raise money

By Tara Keller Pulse Reporter

Sam Opdycke’s idea of having fun with friends involves dressing up like a ringtailed cat. A couple times a month, Opdycke loses his nursing major persona and becomes a furry.

Furries are people who dress up like an animal of their choosing.

These animals can range from real animals like foxes, to hybrids of cat and dragons. The trend of wearing fur suits out in public became popular for Opdycke and others, older and younger, in the last couple years.

“We’re just a group of people who like to hang out with each other,” Opdycke said.

“People dress up for a multiple of reasons. Some really see themselves as animals.”

A lt hou g h some people believe furries dress up like animals all the time,

Opdycke said that is not true.

“Fur suits aren’t even really required. If you want to do it, you can,” Opdycke said. “And being a furry doesn’t mean being literally furry. It can be any animal.”

Most furries belong to a group that meets and exchanges new ideas for costumes. They also meet just to enjoy being animals together and call these gatherings fur-meets, Opdycke said.

Andrew Haver coordinates the fur-meets for the Northwestern Ohio population. He said he first discovered the lifestyle online a few years ago and hasn’t looked back.

“I put on my costume to make people smile,” Haver said. “I do it because it’s fun, and that’s honestly the best reason I can give.”

Haver said he tries to get his Bowling Greenbased furries, The Black Swamp Furs, to meet at least once a month. Al-Mar Lanes, a bowling alley in town, is usually where Opdycke meets with Haver’s

Marky Dally has made his mark at Howard’s Club H as one of the bar’s favorite sound managers, but Dally has decided to take his talents elsewhere — for a little while at least.

Dally, a Bowling Green native, started playing at Howard’s as a high school student. He and three friends started a band called The Tapes, and it had its first show at the club.

“I’ve played music a lot here, so I’m working here now because I’ve known all these people and they needed a sound guy,” Dally said. “So I said, ‘I’m a musician; I’m a Bowling Green native; I’ll run it.’”

DJ Snyder went to high school with Dally and now works as a bartender at Howard’s.

“He’s always here having a good time,” Snyder said. “Anytime he comes here, he brightens everyone’s day.”

Dally has never gotten a degree in sound managing, but uses information from the Internet to learn how to work the equipment and make the bar’s system sound good.

“That’s something I was really proud of,” Dally said. “If you’re passionate about something, you can learn it, but you have to get good at using the muscle in your brain to learn things and teach yourself.”

With all the time Dally has spent at Howard’s, he always thought it sounded too loud. He wanted to change that during his seven months at the bar.

“I’ve really cleaned it up in here and gotten more bands to be like

‘Hey, let’s go play at Howard’s,’” Dally said. ”I feel like I’ve done a good job here, to toot my own horn.”

Kevin Stoll of the band Lesson 22 works with Dally when his band performs at Howard’s.

“I like him. He’s personable and he knows what he’s doing,” Stoll said.

“We’re all going to miss him, not only because he’s a cool dude, but he’s a good sound guy too.”

Dally thinks meeting the local musicians is the best part of the job.

“It’s a really cool community of musicians here in BG. It’s good to be part of it because a lot of good bands tour through here, and there’s a lot of history here,” Dally said.

Now, however, Dally wants to take his own music career further. At the end of the month, he will pack up and head to Portland, Ore. “Playing music here in Bowling Green — there’s only a certain amount of soil, if you’re thinking of a plant,” Dally said. “Your roots will hit the bottom really fast, and then you don’t grow anymore. So, I’m going to uproot my little plant and plant it in Portland’s soil and see if it goes anywhere.”

Dally has played his own music under the name Balloon Messenger since 2008. He plays mostly by himself, but occasionally invites others to join him for a show.

After living in Kentucky for awhile after high school, Dally moved back to Bowling Green and wasn’t sure what to do with his life.

Hourglass figure attracts debate, likely to stay The perfect hourglass figure is actually unattractive

By Danae King Pulse Editor

Thirty-two, 20, 32 — these are the measurements of Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg. Dubbed an example of the hourglass figure, Spangenberg has been in the news recently for her figure.

The hourglass figure has been a standard of beauty for as long as women have been drawn, sculpted and portrayed, but Spangenberg’s figure is “extreme,” said Anne Gordon, associate professor in the department of psychology at the University.

“This is an extraordinarily rare depiction of a woman’s body,” Gordon said, while looking at a photograph of Spangenberg. “Far less than 1 percent of women in the world have this body type.”

Gordon studies the body and social psychology from an evolutionary perspective; she also focuses on human mating and what is attractive in a mate.

Gordon said many men would say Spangenberg’s figure is unattractive because it’s so unnatural, even though the attractiveness of the hourglass body shape is independent of size.

“She’s emaciated,” said freshman Josh Nawrocki. “She’s clearly in an unhealthy state.”

Nawrocki said he doesn’t find Spangenberg attractive because she is “unbelievably skinny.”

Mariah Dandar, a sophomore apparel merchandising and product development major, said Spangenberg’s look is not fashionable.

Size 2 is the ideal size for a fashion designer, Dandar said, but Spangenberg’s waist is closer to a size 0 and her hips don’t match.

The hourglass figure is considered beautiful, but it’s not

“People with hourglass figures are said to be beautiful and lucky.”

Mariah Dandar | Sophomore what designers want in models, Dandar said.

“If she was a little thicker in the middle. Her height is perfect but her waistline is very extreme,” Dandar said. “She has the extreme of the hourglass figure, but she is disproportioned looking.”

Clothes that create the illusion of an hourglass are very popular, Dandar said.

“People with hourglass figures are said to be beautiful and lucky,” Dandar said.

Late teens and early twenties is when most women have the hourglass figure, which is considered the most appealing body type, Gordon said.

“A woman’s shape cues a lot of things about her,” Gordon said.

The hourglass figure can signal health because of biological factors, Gordon said.

“The hourglass signals relative youth, fertility and health,” she said.

Gordon explained the waist-tohip ratio, which is the circumference of a woman’s waist compared to the circumference of her hips. So if a woman measures her waist and then her hips and divides the waist measurement by the hip measurement, she will get her waist to hip ratio, Gordon said.

HAPPY BADGER hosted its first underground RSVP Dinner Party, secret suppers like this are a rising trend.

AMANDA MCGUIRE RZICZNEK | THE BG NEWS

Local secret dinner tantalizes taste buds with five courses AMANDA McGUIRE RZICZNEK FOOD COLUMNIST

Some secrets are worth sharing, such as Happy Badger’s very first underground RSVP Dinner Party, which took place on Friday, March 2.

According to Gisela Williams, CNN reporter, secret suppers are becoming quite the trend in the U.S. “The idea behind these dinners is to let talented chefs work their whisks in an affordable, relaxed setting,” Williams said.

Chefs Ben Cohen and Jason Vahle at Happy Badger captured the essence of the underground dining experience when they unleashed their talents, cooking a five-course Slow Food dinner for only $40 per person. That’s beyond reasonable, considering the chefs procured

goodies from Zingerman’s, Calder Dairy, MacQueen Apple Orchard and several other quality, local establishments.

“Food and cooking have always been very important parts of our family. I remember as a kid driving an hour up into Michigan every Saturday to get fresh milk and eggs from a farmer we knew,” Cohen said. “That type of experience has shaped the way I think about food and cooking now. Our society is far too detached from our foods. Slow Food is about reconnecting with the foods we eat, prepare and buy while establishing a community in doing so. As a growing restaurant and grocer, those ideals are what’s pushing us forward.”

It’s no secret Happy Badger and I share the same food values regarding the importance of local, fresh, organic foods, and those values we hold dear were clearly exhibited during its first RSVP Dinner.

Upon walking into the Clay Street entrance, a quiet mix of

folkie tunes played in the background, while candles flickered, casting shadows on the colorful cloth-draped tables decorated with lovely flowers.

Cohen and Vahle did not disappoint with their first course: soup of slow roasted root vegetables with fresh cream and sage served with grilled Zingerman’s sourdough, olive oil, goat cheese and honey.

This soup slayed me to the point that I wanted to sink into my chair and melt away with it. A velvety, smooth broth with some small bites of potato, this soup was so delicious it made me break all dining etiquette and dip a strip of Zingerman’s bread with melted goat cheese into the cup.

Immediately, I was reminded of the earth, the soul of winter root vegetables.

Salad as a second course is no surprise, but the creative plating

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “A cat.”

ALENA LIPAJ Freshman, Undecided

Beliefs should be openly questioned, criticized MATHEW DAVOLI COLUMNIST

In our current culture the utility of free speech seems to be eroding.

While people advocate for “respect” and “acceptance” of all viewpoints (especially their own), they seem to be forgetting the foundational arguments for the freedom of speech.

As John Stuart Mill argued in his work “On Liberty,” allowing all opinions (including highly “offensive” ones) to be spoken and published is a concept that has practical applications.

Mill argued against the restriction of speech by writing: “If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose (what is almost as great a benefit) the clear perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.”

But, in order to gain anything from free speech, we must be willing to speak against the speech of others, and welcome others to speak against our own speech.

Mill wrote: “Complete liberty of contradicting and disproving our opinion, is the very condition which justifies us in assuming its truth for purposes of action; and on no other terms can a being with human faculties have any rational assurance of being right.”

As Christopher Hitchens rephrased it in a debate over speech restrictions in Canada, “It’s always worth saying…

‘Am I sure about the theory of evolution? I know it’s supposed to be true, [but] here’s someone that says there is no such thing, it’s all intelligent design. How sure am I of my own views?’”

While neither Hitchens nor I are advocates for intelligent design, I do advocate for listening to and engaging with those that believe in it.

I for one have personally benefited from not ignoring the claims of intelligent design proponents. (There is no better way to learn about something than to fact check the statements of its detractors and engage with them.)

Also, for ideas that are clearly false and destructive, one shouldn’t hold back and simply wait for them to go away.

As Mill stated, “Wrong opinions and practices gradually yield to fact and argu-

ment; but facts and arguments, to produce any effect on the mind, must be brought before it.”

It goes both ways also; one should fully allow others to correct their own possible falsehoods.

As such, free speech should be used to engage and debate amongst ourselves.

And this confrontational speech can be beneficial for both speakers, or as one of my favorite Bible verses puts it, “As steel sharpens steel, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17).

That is what free speech is about, or at least what it should be about.

But sadly, many seem to advocate for a conception of free speech that negates that utility.

They seem to be advocating for a non-confrontational ideal, in which people are encouraged to state their opinions, while at the same time people are discouraged from speaking against the opinions of others.

We should forsake this path.

We need more, not less, collisions of ideas.

The stakes are too high to worry about “offending” or being “offended,” we should not allow the sensitivities of people to act as barriers to conversations that need to take place.

And as for the old precept of, “Judge not lest ye be judged,” I just want to say for the record that I do want people to judge my ideas, I don’t want people to “respect” my opinions and beliefs.

I want people to have enough respect for me, and my cognitive abilities, to take the time to point out how I am wrong.

I want people to correct me, to “sharpen” my thoughts into more ideal points.

And just as Zechariah welcomed fiery torments so that he could be purified “just as gold and silver is purified by fire,” so should we all welcome fiery criticism to be levied against us so that we can be purged of falsehoods and errors.

As Penn Jillete said, “I would rather be busted on everything I say, and I am...

That’s the world I want to live in, I want to live in a world of a marketplace of ideas, where everyone is busted on their [bull] all the time because that’s the way we get to truth.”

When partaking in political discourse, two sides are generally taken: conservative and liberal. However, these two sides are hardly the only representatives of political ideologies. There is one side that seems to be too often forgotten — the libertarians.

We libertarians consider ourselves part of the vast, diabolical conspiracy to take over control of the government — and then leave you alone!

How are we different?

Well, we’re definitely not those war-hawks in the Republican party that want to continue policing the world at taxpayer expense.

We’re also not the type that wants to control your personal (and sexual) lives.

On the other side, we’re certainly not fond of high taxes for anyone. Just the same, we don’t care too

much for government intervention in the economy at all. You could say that we’re the capitalist pigs your professor keeps mumbling about.

But why focus on what we aren’t when we can tell you what we are? First of all, we advocate a principle called self-ownership. Essentially, this means you own your own body and can do what you want with it.

To quote our favorite libertarian TV personality, Ron Swanson (Parks and Recreation), “If you want to eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds, and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do so!” Libertarians believe that everyone should be able to live their lives in their own ways; hard to argue with that right?

This is relevant in the current marriage debate. In regards to non-heterosexual marriage, our general stance is, “Who cares?!” The state should not have the author-

ity to dictate what occurs between two (or more) consenting adults. Some of us may not play for that team, but we can still root for it.

Besides, Kim Kardashian has done much more to ruin the sanctity of marriage than any other couple.

We also endorse something called the non-aggression principle. In this context, we define aggression as initiating or threatening violence against a person or legitimately owned property of another. In other words, you can’t come at me, bro.

You could call us the hippies that want world peace, or you could call us the patriots that dare to say no to war.

If you grabbed a bunch of college students from around the world and threw them into a room together, we would probably start dancing to techno-pop or something.

The government persuades us to hate each other based on religion, ethnicity, or social class and asks us to die

in battle for them. No thanks; we’d rather dance.

If you’re into this sort of thing, a group of us started an organization on campus.

We’ll be giving a more indepth (and more entertaining) look into the libertarian philosophy at our first meeting at 9 p.m. March 22 in 225 Olscamp Hall.

Of course, no meeting is complete without free pizza!

Even if you hate us, come tell us why, and we promise to still share the pizza. We’re non-aggressive like that.

Whether you’re a scholar familiar with the works of Mises, Rothbard, and Hayek, or this just sounds like a good time and you’d like to learn more, we would love to meet you. We can learn from you and you can learn from us. It’s like voluntary exchange.

Copyright ownership affects work motivation JAMES PFUNDSTEIN FACULTY COLUMNIST

When I’m not teaching at the University, or scratching my cat’s fuzzy orange ears, or indulging in dangerous adventures in exotic places, I’m also a fantasy novelist. In that capacity I had to make a rather odd decision last year.

I was being urged by a friend to apply for a job writing a tie-in novel — one of those books based on a game, or movie, or TV show.

After wrestling with the

angel for a while, I decided to not do it.

Who knows if I would have gotten the job anyway, but it’s usually a mistake to apply for work you don’t actually want to do.

If you’re turned down, that’s a rejection, which is bad. If you’re accepted, that’s worse. What’s the upside?

It’s not that I look down on tie-in fiction. I used to read a lot of it in my ill-spent youth — mostly Star Trek™ novels, and I am not ashamed to admit it (because I have no shame). And I wouldn’t necessarily be averse to reading (or writing) a story set in the Diablo™ world, or the

Zelda™ world, or the World of Warcraft™ world.

Storytellers with bigger reputations than mine have written gaming fiction and cashed their checks with proud smiles on their faces.

(The thought, “Hey, I get to eat this month!” is always a cheerful one.)

The reason I decided all that wasn’t for me is this: I wouldn’t own the work that I did. I’d get some money (which sounds appealing, certainly) and I’d get the experience of telling that particular story (which would be interesting), but I wouldn’t own the book afterwards.

Falcons lose to end season Men’s basketball falls to Oakland in CIT first round

MARC RODRIGUEZ, No. 10, battles for the puck with Michigan defenseman Mac Bennett during BG’s 3-0 loss to the Wolverines at the BGSU Ice Arena earlier this season. The Falcons and Wolverines will face each other at Joe Louis Arena Friday night in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association semifinals.

REMATCH AT THE JOE Three weeks after series split, Falcons and Wolverines face off in CCHA semifinals at Joe Louis Arena

By Matt Nye Reporter

The BG hockey team will be heading to Joe Louis Arena for the first time since 2001 for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association semifinals, the first time the 11 seed has ever made it to the semifinals.

BG has made an impressive playoff run so far and will be looking to continue this Cinderella-like run in Detroit against Michigan University Friday. The game will start at 8:05 p.m.

If BG loses they play in the thirdplace game Saturday at 3:30. If they

win, they play for the CCHA championship at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

The other matchup in the CCHA semifinals is Western Michigan against Miami.

BG is coming off of their best weekend of the season. They took on No. 2 Ferris State on the road and pulled off the upset. They won the first game 3-2 in overtime. BG lost the second game 7-4 and then clinched a trip to Joe Louis Arena with a 4-3 overtime win.

Freshman Dan DeSalvo is on a scoring run that has made history.

He has 10 goals in the two series so far in BG’s playoff run. The previous

CCHA scoring record was eight.

Michigan is also coming off an impressive weekend as they hosted Notre Dame. They swept the Fighting Irish and have advanced to the CCHA semifinals for the 24th consecutive year.

The last time these two teams met was the last weekend of the regular season. BG upset the Wolverines in the first meeting 4-3 as four different Falcons scored goals. The second game was tight all the way until the third period when the Wolverines pulled away for a 3-0 victory.

BG coach Chris Bergeron understands the talent and experience

Michigan brings this weekend.

“This is like a home game for them,” Bergeron said. “Michigan is going to be at their best and they really expose you if we don’t do the little things right. We have a lot of respect for this team.”

Michigan has a high-powered offense that can put up a lot of goals.

Alex Guptill and David Wohlberg lead the way for the Wolverines as both players have racked up 32 points this season. Guptill leads in goals with 16 and Wohlberg leads in

For the second time in postseason tournament play this year, the BG men’s basketball team was one-and-done.

After falling to Central Michigan in the first round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Falcons fell to Oakland, 86-69, in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament on Wednesday night.

Oakland’s Reggie Hamilton scored a CIT record 39 points, and the Grizzlies shot 12-for-24 from three-point distance to end the Falcons’ first postseason tournament run in three years.

“We knew that this team was an explosive offensive team, and that Reggie Hamilton and Travis Bader could score,” said coach Louis Orr. “When the game got away from us those two guys — especially Hamilton — got it going.”

Four Falcons scored in double figures, led by Jordon Crawford’s 21 points.

Scott Thomas had 11 points, six rebounds and six assists and Dee Brown chipped in 10 points in the final game of their college careers.

For the second straight game, the Falcons struggled mightily on outside shooting, making only 3-of-20 three pointers.

“When you aren’t making shots, you have to find other ways to score,” Thomas said. “We went inside to A’uston [Calhoun] and that was the gameplan, to get the ball inside, because we felt our bigs could really score against them. We just didn’t knock down shots.”

The Falcons trailed by five at the half, but scored the first eight points of the second half to take a three point lead. With 9:30 to go in regulation, Oakland, up four

Falcons record school-record 30 hits in 24-11 victory against Malone

By Clay Leser Reporter

The BG baseball team set a handful of records Wednesday and used a 14-run offensive outburst in the fourth inning to earn a 24-11 victory against the Malone Pioneers.

The Falcons’ 30 hits were the most in a game in school history. The previous record was 27, set by the 1996 team in a game against Cincinnati. Center fielder Jake Thomas also set a school record with six hits in the game. He surpassed the previous high of five, most recently held by Patrick Martin.

Both teams started scoring early, with Malone leading 6-4 after the top half of the fourth inning. In the bottom half, all nine Falcon batters got a hit before Malone could record an out. Shortstop Brandon Howard and left fielder Andrew Kubuski helped lead that charge, with each recording a double and a

TRACK AND FIELD

single with 3 RBI in the inning.

Howard and right fielder Alex Davison each finished with 4 RBI to lead the Falcons.

“From an offensive standpoint, there were a lot of players who stood out,” said coach Danny Schmitz. “You can go up and down the lineup, but you would probably start with Jake Thomas.”

Even with a 6-for-7 day at the plate, Thomas kept his offensive approach simple.

“I was just staying inside the ball and keeping a good approach,” he said.

Now hitting .467 on this season, Thomas showed a little sports superstition in regards to how he hopes to continue his hot streak at the plate.

“Just by not talking about it,” Thomas said. “I just have to keep playing baseball real hard.”

BG men’s golf finishes tied for fourth in west coast meet

By Nick Juskewycz Reporter

The BG men’s golf team took a share of fourth place Monday and Tuesday out west at the 54-hole Triumph at Pauma Valley Country Club.

After 36 holes of play, the Falcons were sitting in second place behind San Francisco, and five shots in front of both Central Arkansas and Austin Peay. However, after a 304 in the final round and a tough back nine, the Falcons dropped two spots and tied with Austin Peay for fourth place. British Columbia snuck past both BG and Austin Peay on the last day earning third place finishing two shots ahead of the schools.

“The tournament went well but the last nine holes were not

very good,” said coach Garry Winger. “It was the difference between second and fourth.

The front nine we were oneover as a team but everyone seemed to stumble on the back nine and we went 19-over.”

Parker Hewitt led BG firing a 222 (72-75-75), which was good for a seventh place tie with Jobim Carlos of San Francisco.

On the last hole of the tournament, Hewitt was “unselfish” as described by Winger. Hewitt’s ball was in the trees on the last hole and a decision needed to be made. Hewitt could make an aggressive play at the green to try and make birdie or he could pitch out and try to save par. The Falcons needed a birdie to finish second, a par would have given BG fourth place outright and a bogey

would have the Falcons tie for fourth. Hewitt elected to go for the birdie but unfortunately for Hewitt and the Falcons, his shot hit a tree and he made bogey.

“Parker played very well and had a great tournament,” Winger said. “I’m proud of his unselfishness and I was glad to see he played for the team in that situation and went for it.”

After Hewitt’s seventh place finish was Wes Gates shooting a 226 (77-72-77) finishing tied for 15th. Charlie Olson tied for 20th with a 228 (71-82-75). Next was Chris Melvin who finished tied for 32nd firing a 233 (80-76-77) and rounding out the Falcons score was Drew Preston with a 234 (80-73-81) for a tied 36th place finish.

After a three week break in action, the Falcons will tighten up their strings and hit the road to face Houston on Sunday and Kansas on Monday in Las Vegas, Nev. for a pair of dual matches.

BG’s record stands at 4-3 going into their next contest, the last spread before entering into conference play. The Falcons finished 15-8 last season and look to improve those numbers this year even further.

BG has already jumped out to a good start on the road with a 3-1 record, compared to their 1-2 home winning margin. The Falcons will explore new horizons as they have never had Houston or Kansas in match play to date.

Houston’s record currently stands at 6-4 overall and 5-2 at home this season. Giorgia Pozzan for the Cougars has played the first flight position well as of late and went on an 8-0 run from Jan. 28th to March 12th.

Maja Kazimieruk in the sixth flight position has also been a top performer for Houston, going 7-1 in her most recent play. A win in those flights will put BG in good position for the match as the rest of their foes stray to inconsistent outcomes.

The Cougars have also seen national competition, giving up a 1-6 team score to the No. 6 ranked Baylor.

Riding a fivegame individual win streak Examining the University of Kansas performance, the Jayhawks had a dynamic start to the season, starting 7-0. However, Kansas has given up four straight losses, and the Falcons look to attack by marking up number five. Freshman standout Maria Belen Ludueña will be the biggest threat for the Falcons in the third spot, as she started the season going 8-0 with a current 10-1 record.

Ludueña is also ranked 118th in the Campbell/ITA Singles Rankings.

The Falcons have maintained great energy and optimism after posting three straight losses and rebounding with a win against Cleveland State on February 25th. All seven roster members have winning records in both singles and doubles Nikki Chiricosta is riding a five-game winning streak, and Emily Reuland has only given up one loss in her last seven outings.

Katie Grubb has been one of the more consistent doubles players this year by going 3-3 on the spring portion of the season.

The Falcons will play Northern Illinois (6-4) starting March 24 at 1 p.m., which will begin a threegame home stand.

Hamilton scored 15 points during that stretch, and scored 28 points in the second half. Hamilton was the nation’s leading scorer during the regular season, scoring 25.7 points per game.

He finished the game shooting 10-for-16, including a 5-for-6 mark from three-point distance. He also made 14-of-15 shots from the free-throw line.

Additionally, Ji Hwan Park of San Francisco won the tournament shooting a 214 (+1), including a four under 67 in the last round.

The Falcons will head down to Little Rock, Ark. for the UALR First Tee Collegiate Classic March 26 and 27 for their next tournament.

“We are looking forward to going to Little Rock,” Winger said. “We have never been to this tournament and it’s a great field. The weather looks good this week so we can get ready and prepare.”

“Four us to have to score in the 80s was not playing the game on our terms.

When he got it going, I think that was the difference in the game.”

BG softball heads to Virginia for final preseason tournament

By Ethan Easterwood Reporter

An impressive hitting display from Andrea Arney last week will propel the BG softball team into their final tournament of the year.

The team will travel to Fairfax, Virginia to play in the Cherry Blossom Classic where they will play five games this weekend.

On the schedule for the Falcons are Cornell, George Mason twice and Albany State twice.

Arney, who last week hit an impressive .353 with three homers, will look to keep up the momentum as the Falcons are having a successful early season.

The pitching has also been improving behind freshman Paris Imholz’s 1.85 earned run average.

Pitchers Jamie Kertes and Erin Greenwalt have also seen a lot of action this year, creating a well rounded pitching rotation heading into this weekend and the remainder of the season.

As a comparison of the competition this weekend, Salsburg feels they compare well to the MidAmerican Conference. The Falcons’ strong results in victories and close losses to date gives reason to be optimistic for the future.

Shannon Salsburg | BG Softball Coach good season so far,” said coach Shannon Salsburg.

“She has been a solid hitter in the number four spot, and she just erupted last Friday.”

This tournament is unique in the fact the Falcons will play two teams twice each. This sets up well for MAC play, said Strasburg. With playing George Mason first on Friday and then not again until Sunday, the team’s roster could be

very different.

“Each week we are getting better,” Salsburg said. “This week we are just looking to take another step.”

The Falcons enter the tournament with a 10-7 record and have been striking well at the plate every week. Hitters like Paige Berger, who could set the career home-run record this season, have been active and hitting to

“I’m not very happy with my infielders right now,” Schmitz said. “It’s just a lack of concentration. Seven errors today — that’s absolutely horrible. We were just lucky today that we swung the bats and overplayed those errors, which we hadn’t done earlier in the year.”

The Falcons have felt Christman’s absence in their vault and floor lineups especially, and the team has dropped two consecutive meets to MAC opponents, most recently falling to a peaked Kent State, 196.4193.525 last week.

Along with serving as Senior Day and the team’s last home meet of the year, Saturday’s matchup is the Falcons last chance to earn a win in the conference.

“The team is training so hard,” Beach said. “We are just trying to get everything nailed down so that we can go out this weekend and have this outstanding competition.

I think having that win would just help us going into MAC Championships.”

Despite being winless in the MAC, BG gymnastics is ranked fifth out of the seventh teams, with a season average just under those of Northern Illinois and Central Michigan — the teams ranked fourth and third in the conference.

Theaters must stop raising concession prices NATHAN ELEKONICH ASSISTANT WEB EDITOR

This past weekend I journeyed up to Levis Commons, in Perrysburg, to see Disney’s “John Carter” with my cousin.

As always, I couldn’t wait to take my seat and start the movie-going experience.

When I arrived at the theater I purchased my ticket for $9.75, handed my ticket to the ticket taker and proceeded to purchase my refreshments. I ordered two pieces of Sbarro pizza

and a large Coke. I paid the man and took a seat in the lobby, waiting for my cousin to arrive. As I bit into the delicious pepperoni pizza a thought occurred to me, “I just paid $15 for my refreshments. I never spend $15 for refreshments, even when I splurge and purchase two pieces of pizza.”

I calculated the math in my head. It was $4.50 a piece for pizza, which meant I had just paid $6 for a large pop.

Are you kidding me, $6?

Normally, a large pop costs only about $4 — why had it just jumped $2?!

A trip to the movies usually cost me $20 for myself.

Now I’d have to dish out an additional two to three dollars just for food. I couldn’t believe it.

If you know me, then you know that I’ve always stood confidently behind film companies and theater chains and their prices at theaters.

I see no harm in ticket prices being just under $10, considering how much it costs to produce films. I understand that theaters only make money from their concessions while the production companies take all the profits from ticket sales.

But when you steadily increase the price of food at

“I’ve always stood confidently behind film companies and theater chains and their prices at theaters.” any event, whether it be the movies or a baseball game, solely because it is a convenience, I begin to question the company’s motives.

Yes, prices on everything will eventually rise due to inflation and even to compensate for the increased minimum wage Ohio

enacted this past January.

However, with the film industry still hurting to attract new audiences and bring back the viewers they’ve lost, I don’t see how increasing concession prices will persuade those people to come to the movies.

I’ve always believed that when you make something reasonably priced you’ll attract more customers; it’s as simple as that. But it seems companies these days are merely looking to make the largest sum of money as quickly as possible.

With services such as Netflix, which offer hundreds of titles to anyone for an entire

month at the low cost of $7.99, why would any reasonable person dish out nearly a hundred dollars for a family of four to see one movie.

I’ve always supported the movies, and I always will.

However, I don’t understand why the theaters insist on increasing prices in a poor economy and with attendance still below what it was nearly ten years ago. If the theaters want to survive and still provide a good service to customers, they need to realize people already consider the movies to be far too expensive and that raising that price will eventually hurt their business.

MARKY DALLY is looking to further his personal music as Balloon Messenger.

hopes and dreams,” Dally said. “I named myself that because no one knew what it meant, but it made me laugh every time I thought of it.”

Balloon Messenger has three albums Dally recorded, produced and mastered .

As Dally leaves, he hopes for the best for Howard’s.

“BGSU students should get more involved with this place,” Dally said. “If the students use Howard’s, they could make this bar turn into a great music venue. I would love to see that happen. This place has really good sound equipment, and they should utilize it. We should bridge the campus to this place better.”

“I was that guy in between college and nothing,” Dally said. “One day I was mowing the lawn, and I saw this blue balloon that had popped lying in the grass I hadn’t cut yet. I was just thinking, ‘Send me a message,’ and it came to me on a balloon.”

The balloon had a napkin tied to it, and Dally thought it would have a message telling him what to do with his life.

The balloon message: “U suck big ones.”

“I was like, ‘Wow, thanks God, thanks church, thanks

FIGURE From Page 3 ratio is .625, while the ideal waist-to-hip ratio is .7 to .75, Gordon said. This range is considered to be the most attractive by men and correlates with the hourglass figure.

“Women are most likely to have a relatively low waist-

to-hip ratio when they’re in their teens and twenties,” Gordon said. “This coincides with when they’re most fertile.”

The hourglass figure and its attractiveness to men isn’t likely to change over time, Gordon said.

“As long as it continues to be linked with age, fertility and health, we expect it to linger,” Gordon said.

FURRY From Page X SAM OPDYCKE and two of his friends went to the zoo dressed up as furries, Opdycke is on the left in his ringtailed cat costume.

FURRY From Page 3 group.

“We’ve become rather popular with the employees there,” Haver said.

Al-Mar employees have noticed the furries having fun when they come to bowl, and other bowlers have positive reactions to them.

“People who come for open bowling kind of look at them when they first come in, but they’re harmless,” employee Pancha Melendrez said. “We have fun with them.”

Melendrez said it’s not

only the employees who enjoy watching the furries, but the other bowlers as well.

“People go up to them and ask if they can take pictures with them,” Melendrez said.

Along with meeting at bowling alleys and other places as furries, the fur suits in general are not cheap. Partial suits can cost a couple hundred dollars, and the full suits fall into the thousands, according to Haver.

When they’re not spending their money on fur meets and fur suits, the furries raise money for

charity. At the Furry Connection North convention last year, Haver and his furries raised over $5,000 for the dog rescue charity Greyhound Expressions.

The group raised the funds through an auction that included furry paraphernalia. This year a full fur suit will be up for auction.

“It’s a really, really nice one,” Haver said.

Although the furries do contribute some of their time to charity work, there are some rumors that the group dresses up like animals in a sexually promiscu-

ous way.

“We’re not sex based at all,” Opdycke said. “TV shows sometimes show us like that, but we’re not.

It’s the complete opposite of what we’re trying to do.

We’re just people who like to hang out.”

Haver doesn’t like to focus on the negative stereotypes surrounding the furries, but chooses to think of the positive and what the lifestyle means to him.

“It’s an extension of ourselves,” Haver said. “I put a lot of my qualities into my characters­— both good and bad.”

“Broken Chains Offers Come-As-You-Are Worship For Students”

f worshiping in a non-traditional, come-as-you-are atmosphere with live music is what you’re looking for then you should check out Broken Chains Church!

At Broken Chains you will be accepted by all, no matter what your past consists of or where your future will take you.

Members enjoy relevant messages to today’s life and a concert-like atmosphere at Broken Chain’s services.

Broken Chains was founded by Pastors Bob and Deanna Lamb in 2003 on the following principles: • The church is of God. It is his body and He is the head.

• The church is called into being to make known God’s love through a corporate unit • All members, with diverse functions, are important and necessary for the body to function as a living organism.

• Broken Chains offers many unique and fun ways to worship.

• High Octane • Enjoy coffee and rock music on Friday nights at 8 p.m. It’s a loud, bold and in your face way to worship.

• Alive Café • Come worship at a church service that is “easy like Sunday morning” only it’s at 6:30 p.m.

• Freak Zone • Heavy music, fellowship, food and fun at 8:00 p.m.

Sunday nights. Open to anyone who just wants to hang out and meet people, or to those who may feel like they don’t fit in.

• Open 4 Him • A Bible study with question and answers on Thursday nights at 6 p.m.

Broken Chains Church enjoys giving and helping others.

They have donated food, clothing and blankets to local people in need.

Also, since those at Broken Chains accept everyone, they have invited people from shelters and the Salvation Army ARC to come worship and with them and grow spiritually.

“We are very community oriented, we like to help. Be who you are and we will accept you,” said Broken Chains member, Brittany Buranat.

Also, Broken Chains will be proudly sending Robby Grogan to Haiti in January for the church’s first mission trip. Members raised nearly $1,500 through fundraisers that they facilitated and are excited to make a difference.

Make sure you come to the Woodland Mall, on N. Main Street in Bowling Green to experience the unique, interactive, and friendly atmosphere that Broken Chains provides.

Also, check them out on Facebook, visit their website at brockenchainschurch.org and view some of their live music on Youtube at youtube.com/brittxo711.

Falcon’s flaunt their spring styles

By Megan Kraft Fashion Photographer

Finally, spring has sprung and campus is filled with spring trends and lighter layers. The weather has allowed Falcons to give spring a proper induction with expressive outfits and their favorite outdoor activities.

High waist shorts, gladiator sandals and envelope clutches clothe the ladies, while guys fly by on longboards rocking lace-up sneakers and thin V-neck tees.

Ali Prestifilippo, apparel merchandising and product development major, rocks a layered look of a denim vest button-up and an ivory tank.

For cooler classrooms, she wears dark wash skinnies and gladiator style footwear.

For the ladies, sheer cropped button-up shirts are the latest and trendiest top selection.

Close in shape, denim vests balance out a puttogether outfit consisting of a skirt or shorts. Spring pat-

terns include the always flattering floral, but sticking to solids is the best option for bright color blocking.

Pack up the UGG boots and break out a pair of flats from UrbanOG.com. UrbanOG offers a fantastic selection of shoes, and the flats, sandals and gladiator styles are currently on sale and priced around $20 and under.

When taking consideration of an ensemble’s shape, accessories are crucial. As seen on Ali, longer necklaces and a few rings complete a minimalistic style.

While spring is all about minimalist styles, no piece of jewelry is as simple and girly as a classy spoon ring. Dan Kemp of Dank Artistry offers incredible styles for around $20. Add one or two to edge out your favorite spring ensemble. Check out Dan’s collection at www.etsy.com/ shop/dankartistry.

Express your spring style with slim shapes, minimalistic jewelry and a fabulous pair of flats. Stay fashionable, Falcons!

gave this salad heart. Nested underneath rocket lettuce and mixed field greens were juicy, ruby beets that cut through the bitter pepperiness of the salad greens and the tangy goat cheese croutons. Thoughtful in its execution, this dish turned a simple salad into a memorable moment.

The fresh fettuccine from Mama Mucci’s Pasta, with wild mushrooms, garlic sautéed basil, spinach with imported Parmesan and lemon was utterly divine.

Even though this was the richest dish in the lot, the citrus gave it a lift of air, and the mushrooms rooted it in the earthiness that continually united each dish into a solid overall theme.

While the poached salmon course was perfectly cooked, I didn’t fully taste how the peach reductions were incorporated. There was a sweetness there, but on my palate it wasn’t fully realized. That said, the dish was so light, I noshed it. And in those few moments before dessert, I said to my friends, “I can’t eat another bite. I’ll take my dessert home.”

But when our waitress

presented grilled nectarines and apples with homemade (that day!) vanilla bean ice cream, I couldn’t resist. I took just one bite, then another, which led to many more and, finally, an empty bowl. The Honey Filo was so airy and divine I could have been eating puffs of clouds laced with honey. The chefs choose to leave the skins on the fruit, which gave the dessert a very rustic, homey feeling. After I ate my last bite, I was sad it was over.

My fellow diners and I warmly applauded the chefs immediately upon their entrance into the dining room after the

dessert course. To have achieved what they did with such a small kitchen is no small feat.

And it’s no small feat to make a room of diners feel special. Personally, what made it even more special to me was the secretiveness of it all.

“There is something super cool about our dinners. It’s like a secret dining club,” Cohen said.

Visit the Café for details about joining the Happy Badger RSVP dinners.

Rumors are the next one will be the first weekend in April.

But you didn’t hear that secret from me.

Do you download music everyday?

Do you watch the latest movies right when they come out?

Do you keep up with the latest trends?

Then you NEED to write for The Pulse!

Take a risk, don’t settle for the norm But that is a load of crap!

We need risk so bad.

We need to jump blindfolded into things and see what happens and trust, I say in God (for you it may be different), that we will be alright.

Because if we do nothing risky, then we are not really living; we are coasting instead.

Floating by hoping nothing too bad happens to us.

People are always telling me to follow the norm.

To go to college, get a job, get married and have kids, live in this size house with this many cars in the drive and not shake anything up too much. I am done with that.

I want to write the most amazing books; I want to make the most amazing music; I want to hang out

with the most amazing people; I want to tag graffiti on a billboard; I want to skydive; I want live in Africa; I want to give everything I have away and see what it is like to have nothing but at the same time have so much more than anyone I know.

This is my rant for the day, and I am speaking to myself as much as anyone else; stop bein’ LAZY! Pursue what your heart aches for every moment you are awake, and dream about it at night, and make it happen, and if after a year or ten or 50 it doesn’t, then go for number two on the list and run hard for that.

could create virtual tours of online museums that feature walrus art.

She might be doing this with an eye to publishing a book about walruses.

She could do all that — but would she? Maybe not.

If she knew the work she did, including the book she wrote, would become the property of her employer under a “work-for-hire” clause in her contract, she would probably do much less. She would save her efforts for a more amenable work situation.

After all, the copyright holder of a book gets to say what goes in the book. If the writer of the book holds the copyright, that’s not a problem. But if universities own the books that professors write, they would get to control the content of those books.

That creates a problem for academic freedom — or for ordinary freedom of speech.

Could a university put something in a professor’s book that the professor disagrees with — that might even harm the professor’s academic or personal reputation? If they own the book as a work-for-hire: yes.

It’s not in the interests of the university, or the students, or (of course) the faculty if the university attempts to make a grab for the intellectual property rights of the people who work here.

But grabs like that are becoming more common in an era where universities are corporations, and corporations are people, and people are frequently jerks.

We are all lazy, all of us.

Well let’s start this way first. I am lazy.

And I do not just mean physically, although as the rapper Shad says, “I’m fit but no six pack ‘cause I won’t do sit ups or give up Big Macs.”

I’ll admit I need to work on my push-up grind, but that is not what I am talking about when I say I am lazy.

Maybe comfortable is a better word.

I like to stay in my comfort zone, with my close friends, and stay in this little bubble and not try anything too risky.
