Nonprofit aims to alter opinions

Anti-abortion foundation displays images at Union Oval

By Christina Hilliard Reporter

This week a non-profit educational foundation called Created Equal will visit Ohio college campuses with the goal of making “abortion unthinkable” to America’s young people.

The group displayed prenatal and abortion images at the Union Oval from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to spark conversations and hear differing opinions.

Mark Harrington, Created Equal executive director, started the Columbus-based foundation last spring.

“The use of images of injustice makes abortion real and sparks informed conversations,” Harrington said. “It is

best to settle facts before having a conversation.”

The Ohio House of Representatives is considering passing a bill — House Bill 125, called the “Heartbeat Bill” — that would ban abortions after a heartbeat is detected. This happens around weeks five to seven in the womb, Harrington said.

If Ohio Gov. John Kasich signs the bill into law, it would be the most protective piece of legislation in the nation, he said.

“The bill should be supported to make abortion illegal,” Harrington said.

Harrington urged students who vote in the district or are registered to vote in Wood County to write to their political leaders to express their opinions about the bill.

Residence hall visitors must check in to avoid trespassing Residence Life clarifies definitions of guest, visitor

By Danae King Assistant Pulse Editor

Students who fail to follow residence hall guidelines for guests and visitors may be subject to serious consequences.

Guests and visitors must be escorted by a resident at all times when in a residence hall, and there is a defined difference between a visitor and a guest.

“A visitor is a student who has a student ID card,” said Tim Shaal, senior associate director in the Office of Residence Life. “A guest is not a member of the University community such as a parent, sibling or friend; they don’t have an ID card.”

All students at the University have to check in between 12 and 8 a.m., Shaal said, but if students are checking into a residence hall they are not a resident of during this time, they must say where they live. When residents have other students visit them at

their residence hall during the day, they don’t have to check in.

Guests, however, must always check in at the front desk and will be given a guest pass for identification if they stay during the night, Shaal said.

However, the guest pass doesn’t take the place of being escorted by a host at all times, said University Police Chief Monica Moll.

“Residents are responsible for their guests,” Moll said.

ore than 6,000 mock headstones currently line the courtyard between Jerome Library and the Education Building as a testament to the physical human cost of war.

The exhibit is meant to honor and respect fallen soldiers and also stand as a protest against the war.

Learning Services is a sponsor for the event, and Jane Rosser, the director of service learning for Learning Services, said the exhibit presents an opportunity for a campus-wide conversation and discussion of the

human cost of war.

This Friday marks the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan, Rosser said. While people have different opinions about the war, the exhibit allows everyone to think critically.

It’s not just a war statement but a political and economic one, and it is meant to invoke thought on that as well, Rosser said.

Steve Miller is a member of the Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition, one of the groups responsible for the exhibit. Miller said the idea is “to display, in visual and visceral terms, the human cost of war — each headstone has a soldier’s name, rank,

Faculty Senate approves new master’s degree The Faculty Senate approved a proposal Tuesday to create a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Gerontology degree.

The proposal passed with a vote of 56 for it, none against it and four abstentions.

Nancy Orel, director of gerontology, presented the proposal at the senate’s 2:30 meeting Tuesday.

“We all want to age successfully, and individuals in this degree program will be able to assist older adults,” she said. “Our primary focus will be individuals currently in the field, either as social workers, pharmacists or occupational therapists not currently trained in gerontology.”

“I didn’t even take it as an anti-war statement, just a way to pay respect,” said a cadet viewing the exhibit, who wished to remain anonymous. “I actually got choked up a bit because these are my brothers represented out here.”

The cadet has friends deployed in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

What’s so different about this war is that it is difficult to distinguish between enemy and civilian; a car could blow up any second or someone could blow themselves up, he said.

Students with other military ties also felt the emotional impact of the exhibit.

else, they are violating visitation policies, Moll said.

“Most students are really good about registering,” Shaal said. “It’s very rare that we have to confront somebody for trespassing or doing something wrong.”

The procedure when someone is found unescorted is very general and depends on the situation, Shaal said.

“A lot of times our [resident advisers] are the first to hear about it,” he said.

The procedure first involves RAs attempting to identify if the person belongs in the hall and who he or she belongs with, Shaal said. RAs will then find out if the person is at the residence hall to visit someone and where he or she lives, Shaal said.

If a guest is found without a host, they are asked to leave and are escorted out of the building or taken to the front desk, where their host can sign them in, said Freddy Bittner, an administrative RA. “If they cause a problem, we call the University police department so they can help us escort them

“Individuals with a background in gerontology are predicted to be the fastest growing career field at 36 percent next year,” Orel said. “This program will provide the necessary education for individuals in this advanced field.”

Faculty Senate Chair John Folkins praised the proposal at Tuesday’s meeting.

“This has been a long time coming, and it’s gone through every process,” he said. “We’ve been waiting four years for this.” out,” Bittner said.

The University Police will then identify the person and ask if they are a resident, Moll said.

Consequences for students trespassing in residence halls can range from a warning to conduct referrals to being kicked out or arrested, Moll said.

For instance, three members of the University football team were cited Sept. 16 for being unescorted by a resident and were “issued misdemeanor citations for criminal trespassing.”

If students see someone they think may not belong in their residence hall, they can do a few different things, Shaal said.

“They can contact their RA or the hall director, go to the front desk or call the University police,” Shaal said. “… the police are very helpful during the whole process for consulting.”

The University Police make the determination of whether a person is trespassing, Shaal said.

“If you absolutely know the person doesn’t live here, no one is escorting them, go to the desk or call an RA,” Bittner said. “… there is no foolproof system of getting everyone right away.”

Students awarded prizes for service University Bookstore and Office of Service Learning will celebrate National Student Day on Thursday with giveaways, charity benefits

By Courtney Keenan Reporter

The University Bookstore w i l l host a n event Thursday to recognize student community service in honor of the first annual National Student Day. Nationa l Student Day enc ou r a ge s st udent s across t he countr y to pa rticipate a nd volunteer for service-oriented projects.

Jeff Nelson, director of bookstore and BG1 Card ser vices, said the purpose of the event is to recognize students for their participation in service-oriented activities.

Students are encour-

aged to bring donations — including cell phones, canned goods, toiletries and kitchen items — to help a local charity. The exact charity to benefit from the donations has not yet been decided, Nelson said.

Students who donate items will then be entered in a drawing for a grand prize of a free semester of textbooks. Students may only be entered once.

Fift y additional w inners will receive a T-shirt made from recycled plastic bottles.

“They’re rea lly soft; you would never know they were made out of plastic,” Nelson said.

Another way for stu-

in the

dents to be entered into the drawing is by participating in the “Sweatshirt Swap.” Students ca n donate gent ly wor n sweatshirts to benefit a local shelter and receive a coupon for 30 percent off a new sweatshirt.

“We’re hoping that by offering prizes, students will be motivated to make donations,” Nelson said.

St udents may a lso enter for national prizes through the National Student Day website, he said.

Donat ions, however, aren’t the only opportunity students will have to help out the community.

Instead of having students participate in their own service projects on Thursday, they will be able to sign up for service projects sponsored by the Office of Service Learning, she said.

To solve this dilemma, Nelson sa id t he Bookstore is collaborating with the Office of Service Learning for the event.

“I think it’s really cool that our Bookstore came to us and asked us to promote our projects,” Valdez said.

Nelson said he expects the event to be successful.

Abstinence until Poor choices cause financial struggle marriage is an invitation to love

By Doug Krieger Guest Columnist

ALICIA RIEDEL COLUMNIST

There are countless programs, fliers and advertisements both on and off campus about contraception.

If you go to the health center, you will also find considerable information about the extensive variety of birth control and other contraceptive options.

Again and again, the message is broadcast that we should engage in “safe sex” and that contraception is the responsible choice. By using such methods as birth control and condoms, we are told that we will protect ourselves against unwanted pregnancies and STDs. This philosophy is based on the idea that most everyone is having sex in situations in which STDs are a risk and/or in which they do not want children to result.

The assumption is that having sex in these situations is acceptable and, for this reason, contraceptives are encouraged to prevent the unwanted side effects.

I would like to propose an invitation that is rarely seen on this campus. The invitation is to abstain from sex until marriage.

Consider this: In the context of a loving marriage, a couple builds a stable environment in which to raise children. Also, in this context, the man and the woman each only have one person with whom they unite in this intimate way.

Abstinence before marriage is the most effective way of preventing STDs and you cannot get an STD from someone who does not have one. Being born with an STD is obviously an exception, but the point I am making is that abstinence until marriage is the only completely effective prevention method for someone who does not already have an STD. Within marriage, a couple may also be responsible in relation to having children by practicing Natural Family Planning, in which they may determine by recognizing

physical signs in the woman, such as checking changes in temperature, cervix and cervical mucus, whether she is in a fertile or infertile time in her cycle.

Whether a couple is trying to have a child or not, NFP methods can help them.

There are many biological reasons to abstain until marriage, and even to have times of abstinence within marriage, but this invitation is about more than scientific studies. It is an invitation to love.

In his book, “Good News About Sex & Marriage,” Christopher West states, “Contraception was not invented to prevent pregnancy.”

He goes on to write, “There already existed a perfectly safe, infallibly reliable way of doing that, it’s called abstinence.

Upon deeper reflection it becomes clear that contraception was invented to indulge sexual instinct.”

The contraceptive philosophy being promoted all over campus and through the media is not about love.

It is about a way to indulge sexual instinct while reducing negative effects.

Love is willing the good of another person. Abstaining before marriage wills the good of the other person and builds a deep foundation for your relationship that is more than just physical attraction. This means loving the other person as a person.

Marriage is giving oneself and one’s love to another person for life and receiving this person and his or her love in return.

The sexual union is the physical giving of oneself fully to another person.

This act is incredibly intimate and joins people to such an extent that they can produce another human being out of this union.

If that act is an act of pure love between two people who are committed to each other for life, it is immeasurably beautiful.

That is worth waiting for.

and nation’s history.

Point one: tax cuts do not in any economic model increase employment or the propensity for those with resources to create jobs. Those with money already have the resources to expand the job market if they wished, but they choose not to because there is no realistic demand for additional products.

More Americans live in poverty now than they did in 2000 when the Clinton administration left power.

More people can’t buy things they need and want, so those with money don’t expand.

They invest in China and India where there are growing markets.

Point two: when tax rates were higher, the Clinton

“The reality is that the current situation in both Ohio and the nation is all about choices.” administration being the most recent example, the economy grows at a faster rate, lower unemployment occurs because of more demand and thereby a need for more workers.

This occurs because job creators are faced with increased taxation on wealth, and therefore they seek to put resources into the market to lessen tax burdens and take advantage of incentives to invest.

To University President Mary Ellen Mazey: When your predecessors in the BGSU administration failed to stop faculty from unionizing last fall, they decided to take punitive measures against every university faculty member in the state of Ohio.

Recently, the BGSU Faculty Association was shocked to learn that BGSU administrators requested and composed the specifi-

For two years, BGSU faculty conducted an above-theboard campaign to unionize, and during that time, the administration worked just as tirelessly to stall and subvert that effort. When the ballots were counted, the results were unequivocal. Faculty wanted a voice, and through an overwhelm-

Once upon a time I was like you, Erik [Goins]; a belief that somehow there were multitudes of people living off government systems, unwilling to work, which was taking resources away from me and somehow limiting my present situation and my future prospects.

While I understand this feeling comes from deeply held values you brought with you from your family and maybe even community, this makes it no more true than Ronald Reagan’s reference to the “welfare queen” in 1980.

The reality is that the current situation in both Ohio and the nation is all about

Taxes on the upper one percent of income earners have never been lower since the Theodore Roosevelt administration. In 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2010, there have been successive cuts in taxes for all wage earners nationally.

In Ohio there was a massive 25 percent tax rate cut in 2005.

Department printing costs rise on campus Print Responsibly program savings not sufficient enough, student printing prices unaffected by change for University departments

By Brian Bohnert Reporter

A ll Universit y departments may soon discover that printing with colored ink is not so colorful after all.

On Oct. 1, University officials raised the cost of color printing for all departments on campus from 5.75 cents to 8 cents per impression.

The decision to increase the price was made when the first annual report for “Print Responsibly” showed t he sav ings earned by the initiative were not substantial enough to cover the costs, said Deb Wells, director of Client Services.

“The savings achieved by the program, like reduction of paper and toner costs, annual maintenance and equipment costs, are all retained by the individual depart-

FACULTY From Page 4 ing majority of votes, they earned it.

That was a great example of democracy in action. But the actions of the BGSU administration reprehensibly subverted the democratic process.

Is the BGSU administration so afraid of faculty having a voice in governance issues that it would limit the faculty voice in every public institution of higher learning in Ohio?

Shamefully, the actions of BGSU General Counsel Sean FitzGerald and BGSU lobbyist David Robinson in crafting the anti-faculty SB5 language suggest that this is indeed the case.

The BGSU administration resorted to underhand-

STRUGGLE From Page 4 Workers, as they become in higher demand, increase their median incomes which further increases demand and therefore production, economic growth and employment.

We actually had a surplus in the Ohio budget in 2000 as well as the Federal government. We were then on pace to eradicate the national debt by 2010. What happened: tax cuts for upper income earners.

Result: economic downturn and a widened gap between rich and middle income earners.

Point three: the myth is that somehow benefits and workers with greedy expectations are weighing down the economy.

If only common workers would “tighten their belts” and stop being lazy and just go to college, all would be right with the world. You can even see how this falls apart just by restating it.

Everything in our economy hinges on demand.

Whether we like it or not, Keynesian Economic principles are the closest model to reality and Supply Side the furthest.

In order for those savings to make enough of a difference to continue the “greener” initiative, all faculty and staff are now paying 2.25 cents more when printing with color than before.

In an email sent to all department chairs on Sept. 20, Interim Chief Information Officer John Ellinger said the Print Responsibly program has been very successful in its first year of saving money, and has actually been more efficient than the University initially thought it would be.

“Costs have been reduced sig n if ica nt ly across the entire institution and we now have

President Mazey, we implore you to show your respect for the BGSU faculty by supporting the repeal of Senate Bill 5. We insist upon your voluntary recognition of the BGSU Faculty Association, regardless of the outcome of Issue 2, the Senate Bill 5 repeal measure.

Despite claims to the contrary, it is fully legal for BGSU to do so, as many examples at other campuses indicate.

We further demand goodfaith bargaining at the negotiating table so that together we can achieve a fair and timely collective bargaining agreement.

Is this a new day for BGSU? We sincerely hope so, and your recognition of the BGSU-FA can help to prove it.

can only drive one car at a time so he will buy no more gas to drive that car than a person with low income.

There are limits to how much food and clothing one can purchase. Demand is created and maintained by increasing your demand base.

Tax cuts do nothing to increase demand base because low income earners benefit almost not at all.

When in difficult times like now, and like those seen in the Great Depression, great recessions at the turn of the century and the 1880s, government is the only entity which can prop up demand.

In order for government to prop up demand when the private sector is unable and unwilling, we can either increase our national debt (like we did in World War II to 124 percent of Gross Domestic Product — we’re at about 24 percent of GDP now) or you can increase revenue to fund demand creation through government sponsored building, buying and employment.

In the 1990s when we hit a recession, tax rates were increased including upperwage earners, and the economy recovered.

If nothing changes now, the gap between rich and middle income will continue to widen, and the gap between poor and middle income lessen.

Unemployment will remain high, and “job producers” will still not expand because they have fewer and fewer people able to buy products.

Choose the world you want to live in, but don’t continue to fool yourself.

The number of pages being printed and copied is significantly lower than we originally expected.”

Josh Von Lehmden, special project manager for Information Technology Services, said the decision to charge departments more for colored printing was not made on a whim.

After obser v ing the

PROTEST From Page 4 and the influence of corporations (via money and Washington lobbyists) on the government.

Some protesters began pitching tents and sleeping in NYC’s Liberty Plaza park, continuing the protest for two-and-a-half weeks now.

Not all of the protesters sleep there — many go home at night and return in the morning — but the number of people sleeping in the park during these chilly fall nights numbers around 300.

The OWS protest movement is unlike any other social consciousness movement of our time. For one, there seems to be no one person or organization leading the movement. While the concept of occupying Wall Street was originally conceived by two activist groups called Adbusters and Anonymous, the grassroots movement has grown a life of its own.

All the decisions dur-

financial report for the first year and looking at the annual costs versus the annual savings returns, the price change was voted on by the president’s cabinet and the dean’s council, he said.

“We got the first annual report in July of this year,” Von Lehmden said. “We then looked at what we were annually paying and what the annual savings were, and then it was sent to the president’s cabinet and the dean’s council to be voted on.”

W h i le t he pr ice increase may initially seem like a large jump,

ing the ongoing protests are democratic in and of themselves.

The OWS website (w w w.occupy wallst.org) describes its decision-making process as such: “The leaders of this movement are the everyday people participating in the occupation. We use a tool called the ‘General Assembly’ to facilitate open, participatory and horizontal organizing between members of the public. We welcome people from all colors, genders and beliefs to participate in our daily assemblies.”

In recent days, OWS protests have begun springing up in other cities around the country as well, including Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago. MSNBC reported on Tuesday that protests are being planned in smaller cities also.

In addition to its grassroots support, the OWS protests are now gaining support from labor unions ranging from the United Federation of Teachers to the Transit Workers Union.

Von Lehmden said it is hard to tell whether the raise in printing cost will affect the way University instructors will print documents for their classes, because the University’s prices are still a lot lower than any other place in the area.

“It’s hard to tell at this point,” Von Lehmden said. “The cost to print is still substantially lower than it is anywhere else and they can still go to places like Staples if they need to print a lot of documents at once.”

In estimating the average cost of how much any given department will be spending this year, Wells said even the largest amount of pages printed will only add up to a few hundred dollars a year.

“Let’s say a department prints 10,000 impressions per month,” Wells said.

“That comes out to be

only about $300 per year, which is still not a substantial difference.”

Because the number of printed and copied pages has been much lower than the University has expected, Wells noted future plans to raise the rates for black and white printing for all departments on campus, effective Jan. 1, to continue to make up for the losses.

“On Jan. 1, the rates for black and white printing will go from 1.5 cents per impression to 1.75 cents per impression for a ll au x iliar y departments,” Wells said. “It will be the same for all non-auxiliar y departments on July 1 as well.”

As for students, Wells said there were no plans made to change printing rates for students and there are no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

and Transit Workers Union members filed a lawsuit against the New York City Police Department on Monday for involving them in the transport of arrested protesters over the weekend.

On Saturday more than 700 protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct while trying to march across the Brooklyn Bridge, which led to obstruction of traffic on the bridge.

In order to transport that many people, the NYPD called in city buses, leading to the transit workers’ lawsuit.

John Sa muelsen, Transport Workers Union president, said about the lawsuit, “We’re down with these protesters. We support the notion that rich folk are not paying their fair share. Our bus operators are not going to be pressed into service to arrest protesters anywhere.”

I think this movement and these protests are terrific, and I hope that this movement continues to grow.

These protests are a demonstration of democracy at work.

Histor y shows us that when people are oppressed and disenfranchised long enough, they will rise up and make their voices heard.

This was seen in the Middle East earlier this year as the “Arab Spring” movement led to change in several countries, and is being seen now in America with the OWS protests.

America’s working class has been under assault in this country for the last 10 years and they are sick and tired of being treated like second-class citizens because they are not part of America’s moneyed-elite.

I think now is a good time for self-evaluation, and that we should all ask ourselves: “Do we want our country to be one in which one percent of the people are allowed to buy and sell the futures of the other 99 percent?”

Coming off a win, BG men’s soccer heads to Ohio State to take on head coach’s alma mater

By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter

Coming off two big home wins against IUPUI and Florida Atlantic, the Falcons will travel to Columbus to play Ohio State.

“Ohio State has been one of the dominant teams in the Big Ten for the last decade,” coach Eric Nichols said. “They are big and athletic and they know how to win games.”

The Falcons are 7-2-1 coming off a win against Florida Atlantic on Sunday. They look to continue their streak against Ohio State, who is coming off a 2-1 win over Big Ten rival Michigan State.

“They have a handful of very dangerous players,” Nichols said. “But one player, [Chris] Hegngi, is big and athletic and he has six goals on the year.”

The Falcons have had two days of practice to prepare for this big game.

“The guys are loose but dialed into the areas they need to be,” Nichols said. “We are preparing for this game just as we would for any other; we are focusing on ourselves and playing the way we want to play.”

Not only is this a big game against Ohio State, but it is also Nichols, first game playing at his alma mater.

“I can recall vividly playing Bowling Green when I was at Ohio State,” Nichols said. “I’m

sure it will feel quite different this time around. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Despite the matchup, Nichols insisted it is just another game.

“Each game presents different challenges and opportunities, and Ohio State is no exception,” he said.

The players on the field understand the circumstances that come with this game, but they are focused on the game at hand, not the emotional attachments, Nichols said.

“They aren’t worried about winning the game for anyone,” he said. “They are just focused on playing hard and enjoying the occasion.”

By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter

This year the men’s soccer team has played consistently well this year with a record of 7-2-1; it has broken records that many thought it had no chance at touching.

The only people who believed the Falcons could do this were the players and coaches in the locker room.

With their 7-2-1 start, the team is being compared to the 1996 team that started 4-0-1 and finished 18-4-1. It won the Mid-American Conference championship and made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

“I am really proud of our start; it’s exciting to hear about that because of our team’s history,” coach Eric Nichols said.

“We are just trying to be the best we can, we are not trying to be any of the past teams. We know our tradition is rich.”

Going into the home stretch of the season, the Falcons have a lot of confidence that they can compete with anybody they play.

“Our record doesn’t give us confidence; the way we are playing gives us that confidence,” Nichols said.

Not only is the team playing well, but its goalie, Michael Wiest, is per-

BG hockey joins Western Collegiate Hockey Association

By Matt Nye Reporter

The speculation is now over and the future of the Falcon hockey program is set, as it will be joining the Western Collegiate Hockey Association beginning in the 2013-14 season.

The offer came from the presidents of the schools in the WCHA. “Our University and our hockey program has many similarities to the current WCHA members and we are excited to join with these schools in two years,” University President Mary Ellen Mazey said in a press release issued by the athletic department.

Along with BG, Alaska Fairbanks, Ferris State and Lake Superior State will also accept the invitation to leave the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and join the WCHA. Notre Dame, the only remaining CCHA school that has yet to find a home, is holding a press conference tomorrow, where it is expected to announce it will join the Hockey East Association.

BG will join Alaska-Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech,

Minnesota State and Northern Michigan in the WCHA. Greg Christopher, director of athletics, said this was a good fit for BG and he expects good things to come for our hockey program.

“The WCHA was the most wellrounded and fully developed conference for us to choose,” Christopher said. “It is a great fit from a hockey standpoint. It is nice to have this decision put to bed.”

This will be a big change for BG because it has played in the CCHA from the very creation of the conference, dating back to 1971.

As a member of the CCHA, the Falcon hockey team has won seven regular season conference championships and five conference tournament championships. It has also had nine NCAA tournament appearances, two frozen four appearances, and one national championship in 1984.

Head coach Chris Bergeron said he is excited and talked to several coaches in the WCHA who are excited for BG to join.

“In these times of change, we’ve got a home,” Bergeron said. “I see us being able to compete right away. This conference is a great CAMERON SINCLAIR skates around his opponent to progress down the ice for a goal. brand.”

Football opponent preview: Western Michigan University Compiled by The BG News Sports Staff

Alex Carder has not been kind to BG. The junior quarterback and Third Team All-Mid-American Conference selection in 2010 has only faced the Falcons once, but was instrumental in the Broncos’ 41-7 win over the Falcons last season. In that game, he threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns.

After throwing for 3,334 yards and 30 touchdowns as a sophomore last season, Carder came into this season as one of the top quarterbacks in all of the non-automatic qualifier conferences. He entered the season on the preseason watch list for both the Davey O’Brien award and the Manning Award.

He has done nothing to prove those accolades false so far this season. He has thrown for 1,466 yards and 12 touchdowns through five games this season, three of those games coming against BCS conference teams.

Carder was instrumental in an upset win over UConn last week, throwing for 479 yards and five touchdowns. The

week before, in a three point loss to No. 24 Illinois, Carder threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns.

This season, Carder’s top weapon has been senior receiver Jordan White, who is tied with Southern California’s Robert Woods for first in the nation in catches with 55, and second in the nation with 668 receiving yards. White has put up double-digit catches and 100-plus yards receiving in four of five games this season.

He also has scored five times in Western’s last three games.

White was a big part of the Broncos’ offense last season, catching 94 passes in 2010 for 1,378 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Much like last week against West Virginia, the Falcons will have to deal with an offense that has heavily neglected its run game. Western is 21st in the nation with 301 passing yards per game, but 112th in the nation with 88.4 rushing yards per game.

The Broncos have only attempted more than 30 rushes in a game once this season: 36 rushes in a 38-7 win over

Nicholls State on Sept. 10.

However, the Falcons were exploited by West Virginia on the ground last week for 360 yards. In the first four games of the season, the Mountaineers had only 306 yards rushing.

The Broncos, while they haven’t had consistent rushing success this season, do have two running backs who are averaging at least four yards per carry.

Tevin Drake, a sophomore, has run the ball 40 times for 199 yards this season, an average of 5 yards per carry.

Brian Fields, another sophomore, has run the ball 28 times for 117 yards and two scores this season, an average of 4.2 yards per rush.

Western has had some struggles defensively this season, allowing 21.8 points and 349.8 yards per game.

The Broncos have especially struggled stopping the run, allowing 181.8 yards per game on the ground.

Running the ball is something BG has been better at this season, sitting at 56th in the nation with 152.4 yards per game on the ground. The Falcons have also had a 100-

yard rusher in four of five games — three by Anthon Samuel and one by Jamel Martin.

While Western’s secondary has only forced three interceptions on the season, they have several solid players, led by sophomore safety Johnnie Simon.

Simon is second on the team with 38 tackles — including two for a loss and half a sack. He has one of the Broncos’ three interceptions and leads the team with four pass break-ups and five passes defended.

The Broncos have also received solid production from their defensive line. Defensive tackle Drew Nowak leads the team with six tackles for a loss, is second on the team with 2.5 sacks and is third on the team with 31 tackles.

Defensive end Freddie Bishop leads the team with three sacks, and has chipped in 5.5 tackles for a loss.

Falcons look to join RedHawks in second place of division

By Nick Marlow Reporter

BG hosts Miami University Thursday night in an important Mid-American Conference divisional matchup.

The 12-6 (3-1) RedHawks sit alone at second place in the MAC East. With a win, BG (15-2, 2-2) can hoist itself into a tie with Miami.

The two teams have played the same divisional opponents, with each beating Akron and Kent State University in straight sets and getting swept

by Ohio. The difference is the RedHawks defeated a Buffalo University squad that took down the Falcons this past weekend in a dramatic five-setter.

“Miami is a very good veteran team with a lot of offensive power,” said coach Denise Van De Walle. “They play hard day

in and day-out.”

Miami taunts its opposition with four players who have recorded 113 kills or more, with Cassie Farrell, who was last week’s eastern division MAC Offensive Player of the Week, sitting atop the RedHawks’ offense with 132 on .304 hitting. The middle hitter’s 50 blocks are a team best as well.

Setter Amy Farrell has a dominant serve, ranking third in the MAC with 21 aces to go along with a team-best 384 assists. The RedHawks, along with Farrell’s blocking, have another combatant of the Falcons’ strong outside hitting in Madison Hardy.

The libero, who was last week’s eastern division MAC Defensive Player of the Week, has 265 digs, trailing only Western Michigan’s Lena Oliver and Eastern Michigan’s Haley Stein in the MAC. While it will be a tough match for the Falcons, Van De Walle knows exactly

what the team must do to win.

“We need to pass well,” said Van De Walle, the coach with the most wins in MAC history. “We need to compete hard all the way through the match. Very few unforced errors ... tough serving. We want to make sure we put up good numbers at the net against Miami — hitting and blocking both.”

Van De Walle and Company have named Thursday’s match the Pink Out. In honor of breast cancer awareness, the team is asking that fans show up in abundance and wearing pink attire.

“It’s such a worthy cause; a cause that we all believe in,” Van De Walle said. “We all know someone that has been impacted and affected by cancer, and specifically breast cancer. We’d love to have a huge student section in pink cheering us PAIGE PENROD squares up with her hands in place, ready to pass the ball up to a teammate. on.”
