Safe rooms available for emergency situations Residence Life has spare rooms on campus to help students cope with severe scenarios like stalking, roommate disagreements just like your rooms,” Waters said. “[Students] can take whatever [they] want from their current room; they would definitely want to bring sheets and blankets.”

When going to a safe room, students are issued a temporary key and their personal entry devices are activated appropriately, Waters said.

The process of using the safe rooms starts when a problem arises and the hall director is notified.

Students can’t ask for safe rooms, but will be provided one if a situation warrants it.

“These are for staff to use at their discretion when we have a situation that comes up that can’t be dealt with,” Waters said. “This is not something that students get to come up and ask for.”

Once notified of the situation, the hall director will contact the front desk of the hall the student will go

Campus hosts annual ‘human vs. zombies’ game this week

Fate has recently shifted to the zombies’ favor, as they currently outnumber the humans on campus, 329 to 181.

The latest round of BG Undead recently began at the University.

BG Undead President Frank Welter describes the popular “humans vs. zombies” game as “a big game of tag.”

Each semester, a new game begins at midnight on a Wednesday and lasts eight days. Play is held within the campus borders 24 hours a day, Welter said.

While time spent as either human or zombie varies, Welter said his time has “been human or zombie 50 percent of the time.”

to, Waters said.

The student then gathers their things and goes to the residence hall with the safe room.

“The front desk has instructions and they know how to issue keys to get people checked into the spaces,” Waters said.

The rooms are specifically for use after hours when there are limited

Located intermittently throughout University residence halls are empty rooms called “safe rooms.”

These rooms are reserves for residents to use temporarily in an emergency situation.

“We put some rooms on hold if we need to switch people or do room changes,” said Sarah Waters, director of residence life. “If there is a

stalker situation or something going on and we need to get [a student] to a space ... there are hold rooms across campus.”

This year there are four to six safe rooms on campus. Usually there are three rooms on the west and three rooms on the east sides of campus, Waters said.

The rooms have basic amenities, including a bed and a dresser.

The University will host the 10th annual Blood Bowl against the University of Toledo from Nov. 7 to 10.

Students who register for the Red Cross-sponsored bowl by Friday will be eligible to win a $100 Walmart gift card.

To schedule an appointment to donate, visit www.redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code “BGSU.” The Blood Bowl is still accepting volunteers. Those who are interested in volunteering can call Heather Haynes at 419-351-2921.

The University has defeated UT in the Blood Bowl in seven of nine past competitions.

Last year students donated more than 500 units of blood to help save more than 1,500 lives, according to an email sent by University officials on Tuesday.

Across from Taco Bell on Wooster Street stands the office of Advanced Fingerprinting Services, a company specializing in different types of background checks.

Julie Cope, trusted agent at Advanced Fingerprinting Services, said the company does BCI and FBI fingerprinting, ink rolled fingerprinting, background checks, drivers checks, sex offender checks and drug testing.

Students often use their services for electronic or ink-rolled fingerprinting, Cope said.

The company has been at the Wooster address since April 2009, but also has an office in Marietta and other locations.

“We were looking between Bowling Green and Findlay and that seemed ideal,” Cope said.

In addition to students, local businesses also use the services provided by Cope and her co-workers — some include Interim Health Care, Brookdale Senior Living and JB Roofing in Tiffin.

Stone Ridge Golf Course also enlists the help of Advanced Fingerprinting Services for drug testing, said Joann Whittaker, course accountant.

ERIK MCANICH (top) and Bob Black peak around a corner on campus, looking for their next human victim to zombify while playing BG Undead.

DEAD From Page 1 “I always have fun,” Welter said. “Humans are paranoid and feel like there is a target on your back.

People see it as a goal to survive. Zombies are hunters, confident, and you have this sense of camaraderie.”

To participate in BG Undead, new and old players attend a rules meeting where they sign a medical waiver, set up an account on the BG Undead website and register. They also buy a trademark bandana for $5, which humans wear on their arms or legs and zombies wear on their heads.

During the weeks leading up to the new game, tables are reserved at the Union and emails and fliers are distributed on campus, junior Aaron Lewis said.

“Basically we just try to get out a good word of mouth about the game,” Lewis said.

Such word of mouth is what brought Ann Arbor resident Aaron Pobursky to the University to play BG Undead 2 1/2 years ago.

“I have a friend who introduced me to the game through a website, and we drove down for an invitational,” Pobursky said. “We met people that night that let us stay with them.”

Each year, Pobursky tells people back home about the game and brings as many as possible to play at the University.

Rules for the game are listed on the BG Undead website. They help promote “good sportsmanship” and are mostly “common

sense,” such as you can’t play with non-players, on stairs or in classrooms, Welter said.

“Unfortunately, we have a large rule list because people try to find these little loopholes,” Welter said.

The BG Undead executive board members “try to keep [the game] fresh,” he said.

“Each year we try new things; this semester we have tried new safe zones for missions,” Welter said.

Also new this year is a different storyline that has grown to include aliens and nanobot technology, Lewis said. This keeps the game new and exciting while retaining old traditions, he said.

“It’s a nice break from school,” Lewis said. “You have fun with people you know.”

Pobu rsk y reca l led Monday night his favorite memories of the game.

“It’s a rush — definitely makes you feel like a kid again,” he said.

The game ends with a mission called the final stand, where players fight to the finish.

“Junior year during the final stand, I started carrying the flag for zombies and I walked with a bagpiper,” Welter said. “I accepted that I wasn’t going to get any humans after the other zombies ran ahead until my friend came back to tell me to hurry so I could lead the charge.”

during golf season.

“Their pricing is good for us,” Whittaker said.

“We were choosing to stay in town, and their services for their prices were really good.”

Whittaker said she is also glad the course chose Advanced Fingerprinting Services because she doesn’t have to wait long for feedback or response because the company is fast.

Affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce and the Federal Business Bureau, Advanced Fingerprinting Services works with major labs like Quest, LabCorp and eScreen.

Such convenience is part of what led Erin Vile, a parent who works with licensing at Rainbow Co-op Preschool, to do business with them.

A client for two years, Vile said Rainbow requires all parents to get fingerprints, BCI and FBI background checks. The school calls Advanced Fingerprinting Services

“They were a local ser v ice ; t hey met our needs,” Vile said.

“There’s a meeting parents come to and they came on site. Since they were all at the same location, it made things easier.”

Advanced Fingerprinting Services schedules appointments and has walk-in hours Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Wednesdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays.

With the need for background checks, Cope offered a few words of caution in regards to where one chooses to get his or her background checks.

“You can go a lot of places in the state of Ohio because anyone can buy fingerprinting equipment; you then have to get registered with the state of Ohio,” Cope said. “You want to be careful, especially with identity theft these days, to know who you do business with. You don’t know who’s on the other side of the screen.”

“I think it goes back to the needs of students that can’t wait until morning when we can come back to the situation with our partners on campus.”

Typically one person stays in a room at a time and the rooms are used for one night.

“If it’s the weekend or there is something more extensive going on, [students] can stay up to two to three nights,” Waters said. “The goal is to have the situation figured out by the next business day.”

Possible situations that warrant a safe room are broken windows, fights between roommates that can’t be mediated and stalking, Waters said.

Safe rooms aren’t always full, but the University reserves them annually, no matter how in-demand rooms are, she said.

Sophomore Kayla Tubbs said she wasn’t aware the rooms existed but thinks students should know about them, especially when they have problems with their roommates.

“Some people don’t have the guts to stick up for themselves and get a new roommate, but if they knew about the rooms, it would be better for them,” Tubbs said.

Students might be more inclined to speak up about roommate problems if they knew their options, Tubbs said.

“I think it’s a good idea; it’s important to have protection for your students,” Tubbs said. “It shows that they actually care about our well-being.”

Safe rooms have been a part of campus for a long time, Water said.

“We’ve always had this kind of room to meet students’ needs,” she said.

“You’ve gotta have these here for an emergency, unexpected situation.”

PEOPLE ON THE STREET

“Decapitate some zombies.”

RYAN DETTMER, Freshman, Computer Science

AMBER PAYNE, Freshman, Physical Therapy

CHRISTIN GREEN CHRISTINA COLUMNIST COLU

Saturday night my friends and I made a blanket fort.

Don’t worry, it’s okay to be jealous.

You should be envious of such a glorious task.

It was a spontaneous sort of thing, and it turned out to be a lot more complicated than we had imagined.

But, if memory serves right, that’s the way all the blanket forts have been in my life.

It took more than half an hour to create, and we were sick of it within 10 minutes of completion.

I wouldn’t trade those 40 minutes for any party or night out on the town.

I love a good party, but there is just something so invigorating about connecting with one’s inner child.

Perhaps someone could attribute this feeling to some sort of Freudian remission theory, but I choose to associate it with care-free bliss.

The truth is that most of the time we are too wrapped up in our responsibilities or the current belief of what the college experience is supposed to be that we fail to enjoy the simple things in life.

We need to find joy in our own imaginations, and on Saturday night that consisted of partaking in a girl’s version of The Little Rascals’ clubhouse, complete with the famous “hi-sign” wave and dramatized fear of the opposite sex.

When was the last time you were satisfied with staying at home on a Saturday night instead of going out?

For some reason, we have been conditioned to believe that we “don’t have a life” if we don’t go out, party, or have somewhere to be other than in our own rooms.

Check out the door décor in my hallway and you’ll find Crayola-fied pages torn out of Disney and fairytale coloring books.

They didn’t get there because of a rainy, dreary afternoon. Those pages exist because of a Milano cookie-filled, princess-packed,

booming Friday night.

Maybe I’m a homebody.

Maybe I’m a complete and utter loser. Maybe I’m too lame to function in the social realm.

Whatever the case, I cherish every opportunity granted to me to use my imagination and create my own fun.

Our generation is greatly deprived of these opportunities.

With handheld game consoles, instant television and smartphones up the wazoo, we have no reason to create our own fun.

Just think about it. When you are bored or when you have a few minutes to kill, what do you do?

Do you whip out your cell phone and start a bunch of meaningless conversations?

Do you shut your eyes or zone-out?

I shamefully admit to taking part in these atrocities against human creativity, but I wonder how we have become so content with boredom.

We somehow see waiting as just a part of life, and we accept that there are many points throughout the day when we are stuck wasting time.

The prevalent belief is that we spend about an hour every day waiting for something.

But when you are waiting in line, waiting for an elevator, waiting for the bus, waiting for class to start — anytime you are waiting — you could also be having the time of your life.

Jules de Gaultier once said, “imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.” Perhaps we should fight the reality of boredom and waiting with our imaginations.

Why not try writing poetry or envisioning a new art project?

I guarantee if you make a habit of this you’ll start looking forward to waiting just so you have this time to be creative.

Perhaps (if you want to get a little crazy), you could even come up with something better to do.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Intercourse offers benefits to partners It’s great that abstinence has worked for so many people.

Some people swear by it, and whether it is for religious purposes, or just because it’s what they want to do, then great.

However, if someone wishes to report on scientific studies that supports their opinions, then someone might want to check out the tests that refute some of their points, too.

There are just as many credible sources that report how sex actually helps relationships and makes them stronger.

The physical benefits of sex have been noted in many medical journals, and there are areas of medicine that focus only on sexual health.

Sit in on the University’s Human Sexuality class once, and one will learn more than they did in an entire year of middle school sexual education class.

Yes, there are chances that one could pick up an STD or STI, or impregnate someone, and in some cases, relationships have ended because of a bad bedroom life.

But then again, there is a downside to everything, and to stigmatize something without considering every side to the debate is uncouth.

There is an unspoken third variable that is constantly left out of the equation: responsibility.

Those who are responsible enough to use protection, and accept the consequences of sex, are the ones who benefit from a healthy sex life; and the ones who aren’t respon-

sible enough to have safe sex are the ones who suffer from the negatives.

While Anderson Lee did briefly mention this fact in his letter to the editor, the message he conveyed in his post stressed avoiding sex, not being smart when participating in it.

If humans were not meant to have sex until in a stateofficial monogamous relationship, then other cultures would follow this pattern, and we would not be physiologically able to have sex until much later in our lifespan.

Abstinence is an ideological opinion, not something that is a widely-accepted as moral or scientific law, thus why it is odd to say those who choose to abstain from sex are right in the way they live, and suggesting that those who don’t are wrong.

We need to take into account that not everyone is going to abstain just because it’s the “right thing to do.”

Schools, media and even churches should stop spreading fear about sex, but rather educate about how to be smart and responsible.

Telling someone not to press the big red button is not going to stop them from doing it, but rather make them want to do it more.

Something as desirable and taboo as sexual relations are no different.

The day America realizes that fear is not the way to lead the masses will be the day that the population will start making smarter decisions.

WHY ARE WE HERE, AGAIN?

MAX CHARNEY | THE BG NEWS

There is hope for suicide prevention ALICIA RIEDEL COLUMNIST

I didn’t believe it when I saw the title: “One Suicide Every 15 Minutes in the United States.”

I did some calculations.

If that is true, then it means that an average of 35,040 people commit suicide in the United Statements every year.

After this calculation, I suddenly had a chilling image of the University as

a silent campus without a single human being, when considering employee headcounts for last year and the estimated student population posted on the University’s website.

I was surprised at what the numbers reveal.

That is, my imagined comparison would be about 10,000 short of the average annual number of suicides estimated by “Medical News Today.”

In this comparison, it is also important to note that this is only the number of completed suicides.

An another alarming fac-

tor is that the study referenced in this article reported that individuals between the ages of 18 and 29 are at a higher risk of “suicidal thoughts, planning or attempts” than individuals over the age of 30.

This strongly suggests that this is an issue particularly relevant to the population of college campuses.

With all of the medications and studies taking place to fight diseases and life-threatening illnesses, it is startling to recognize that so many die from a 100 percent preventable cause.

I suspect that most of us

do not want anyone to commit suicide, so the question is: How do we prevent it?

I am not a counselor, a psychiatrist, or in any way professionally trained to discuss this or offer advice.

All I say here comes merely from what I have gathered from others and my own experience. With that said, I offer the following suggestions in the hopes of working towards prevention and I encourage those who are more educated to offer more and better guidance.

MATTHEW THACKER | THE BG NEWS

REIDEL From Page 4 We can start with ourselves.

I think it is important to recognize what I have mentioned above: We do not want others to commit suicide.

If we do not want others to commit suicide, it is reasonable to apply this to our own cases.

That is, we should not want ourselves to commit suicide either.

It seems that the idea of suicide tends to be sheltered away as an unhappy option that can be pulled out as a last resort.

(Having just watched a high school version of “Romeo and Juliet,” I have in mind the case of the young couple who repeatedly refer to suicide as a last

resort before they finally do kill themselves).

We can make the mental decision to remove suicide even as a potential option within our own minds.

We can also work to become more thankful.

Depression is full of lies.

The lies that you are not worthwhile, that life is not worth living, etc.

One way to battle this negativity and break away from the cloud of gloom is to make an intentional effort to recall what is good.

This can start really small.

Isn’t it great, for example, that we have air to breathe?

How about that the sky is full of stars or the sunset is beautiful?

This may sound very silly, but finding and recalling reasons to be thankful and times without depression can help to change think-

ing and combat negativity.

Moving outside of ourselves, we can love other people.

Even if it appears that no one is reaching out to us, we can reach out to others with little loving actions. Just a smile or a “Hello” can make a world of difference.

If we build community and watch out for each other, we will prevent alienation and isolation, but waiting around for a community to build itself doesn’t work.

We need to actively work to build and maintain it.

Finally, and most importantly, we can turn to God. Whatever concerns we have and all our love is like a drop of blood in His great heart.

Respond to Alicia at thenews@bgnews.com

I occasionally listen to the Freakonomics podcast and I am almost always won over by their point of view, but I have serious issues with a recent post on their website.

In the posted article, Steve Sexton uses the recent cantaloupe-triggered Listeriosis outbreak to argue that a local food economy based on small-scale farming is less safe than a large industrialscale system.

Several of his points did not hold water in my opinion and I will start with the boring nit-picky ones.

He brought up the problem of inspecting many small farms, writing, “In the locavore utopia, federal inspectors would have to travel to hundreds of local food sheds and inspect dozens, perhaps hundreds, of farms in each one.”

If this “locavore utopia” were to exist, official inspections would become unnecessary, as the consumers themselves would be able to inspect the farms.

They would live close by, and would probably be going there anyway from time to time to pick up food.

There would be constant scrutiny from multiple customers, rather than one visit from an official.

Sexton says that small farms, because they make fewer sales have less to lose from outbreaks.

Both in reputational and monetary damages and suggests that the up to $4 million that the Colorado cantaloupe farm might lose is not enough

of an incentive to enact stringent safety requirements. I do not know any small farmers who scoff at $4 million.

Sexton does not explain why loss of reputability would be problematic for large but not for small farms.

Another argument made in the article is that this incident shows that it is dangerous to grow fruit or vegetable varieties in any geographical area that they are not perfectly adapted to, so therefore cantaloupes should be shipped in from giant mega-farms in California or Arizona.

A Food and Drug Administration report on the listeriosis outbreak does not support this argument, as it found that, “all environmental samples collected in the growing fields were negative for Listeria monocytogenes,” making it much more likely that contamination of the melons occurred not while growing in the field, but later, in the packing facility, from packing equipment or a dirty conveyor belt.

Wait a minute. Conveyor belt? Packing facility? $4 million? This doesn’t sound like a small farm.

It isn’t, and this is the main problem with Sexton’s article. Jensen Farms, the “small farm” where the contaminated cantaloupes originated, produces 300,000 cases of cantaloupe on 480 acres.

I have purchased produce from eight or 10 farms at the Bowling Green Farmer’s Market, and I can tell you that all of these farms put together don’t amount to 480 acres, and that is including the 330-acre Riehm Farm.

Most are less than 10 acres.

10 acres should be enough to employ at least six people and feed at least 3,000.

Jensen Farms, in fact, almost completely fails to represent the kind of farm that a locavore would endorse.

It distributes far and wide, to 26 different states.

Nine out of 10 locavores will tell you that lack of variety, or monoculture is a problem with the industrial-scale food system.

Jensen Farms only grows three crops, with the vast majority being cantaloupes. Compare that to Riehm Farm.

They boast that for every letter of the alphabet, they grow at least one fruit or vegetable that starts with that letter.

The same FDA report mentioned earlier cited the storage and refrigeration methods as a possible contributor to the growth of Listeria.

In a “locavore utopia” fruits and vegetables would be eaten fresh, without significant storage time and almost certainly without refrigeration.

Don’t be afraid of local food from small farms. The “locavore utopia,” mentioned in the Freakonomics website post, will have almost nothing in common with the cantaloupe farm at ground zero of the Listeriosis outbreak.

A food poisoning outbreak in a “locavore utopia” would be easily traceable to the farm from which the produce was directly purchased.

Instead of there being a ripple effect — as is the case now, where everyone is afraid to buy any cantaloupe from anywhere — would be the produce from one small farm that would be avoided.

Defensive On the

Junior Chris Jones leads by example for young defensive unit

By Ryan Satkowiak Sports Editor

One of the centerpieces of the BG defense, Chris Jones has not disappointed this season.

A Third Team All-Mid-American Conference selection after a breakout sophomore season in 2010, Jones came into the 2011 season as one of the leaders of a young defense, which features only three starters with more than a year of experience.

Jones hasn’t let that pressure get to him, and he has been everything his coaching staff hoped this season.

“It’s not just me [who’s been performing well], it’s the whole defense,” Jones said. “Our defen-

sive backs are covering better this year, and our defensive line has been getting after the quarterback.

“You have guys … who are coming off the edge and forcing the quarterback out of the pocket, and I can come around … that’s the way I’ve been getting my sacks.”

Jones has been complimentary and supportive of his fellow defensive linemen this year, helping them out where he sees fit. It’s a familiar scenario for Jones, as he was one of the young guys seeking advice last season as a first-year starter, playing on a line with experienced players.

He had a strong season, posting 39 tackles, including 11 for a loss and six sacks. It

was his effort against Cent ra l Michigan, however where h e truly burst onto the scene as a potential impact player for a B G defense searching for help.

In that late October game, he recorded 3.5 sacks, five tackles for a loss and recovered a fumble.

While that win didn’t help the Falcons build the needed momentum to finish the season strong — they lost their last three games — the effort by

Falcons show improved record with matured quarterback

By Michele Wysocki Assistant Sports Editor

BYRON MACK | THE BG NEWS

MATT SCHILZ, BG quarterback, dodges a tackle against a Temple defender in BG’s win last week.

A better record, a better quarterback — not only have the Falcons doubled their win column from last season, but quarterback Matt Schilz has proved to be a matured player.

After missing part of the last season because of a shoulder injury, Schilz came back revived and respected, according to head coach Dave Clawson.

“We go into every game with a much better chance to win than a year ago because of [Matt],” Clawson said.

Schilz has been able to minimize turnovers over the course of the season.

After the West Virginia game, Schilz admitted to trying to force plays that weren’t there, but said he has progressively gotten better at throwing the ball away in pressure situations. Clawson pointed this out in the Western Michigan

game, when he threw the ball away 10 yards instead of turning it over.

“I’m coming over and highfiving him and he’s looking at me like ‘What’s wrong with you? ’” Clawson said, “You threw it away, good play. To me that’s a sign of him maturing ... those are the little things as a coaching staff that we appreciate.”

Clawson has repeatedly said that the team who wins the turnover battle, wins the football game — Schilz was able to do just that in the team’s most recent win.

“The thing that Matt doesn’t get enough credit for is his toughness,” Clawson said.

Schilz started his career at BG redshirting in 2009. He started 10 games last season and missed two because of to his injury. He ended last season with completing 229of-337, 60.7 percent for 2,223 yards

and eight touchdowns.

“Because he played hurt last year, and the players knew that he was going out there when he couldn’t even throw the ball in practice and [was] still giving us great effort; I think that’s one of the reasons that the players on the team respect him,” Clawson said. “Even not a sophomore but someone older because they saw him last year every week pull himself off the carpet and continue to compete and continue to go hard.”

To challenge that, after eight weeks Schilz is just a little over 300 yards short of his total passing yardage of last year and already has 18 touchdowns on the season.

“I was just smart with the ball and I had that in my head every game of how I’m going to start the play and how I’m going to finish

BG Opponent preview: Kent State Golden Flashes

By The BG News Sports Staff

To say offense has been an issue for Kent State this season would be a slight understatement.

The Golden Flashes (1-6, 0-3 Mid-American Conference) are at or near the bottom of the nation in most offensive statistical categories, which has largely contributed to their worst start since 2008, when they also started 1-6.

Facing a BG defense that held a high-powered Temple attack to 10 points last week, Kent State certainly doesn’t have circumstances stacked in its favor.

The Flashes are 119th in the nation

— out of 120 teams — in both passing yards (105.3) and rushing yards (75.3) per game. They are last in the nation in points per game with 10.7.

Kent’s offense has been so bad this season that it has negatively impacted its defense. Kent’s 28 points per game allowed is 73rd in the nation, but it is 20th in the nation in total defense, allowing 318.9 yards per game.

The Flashes had as tough of a start as anyone this season, facing off against No. 2 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala. While Kent did some good things in that game, namely forcing five turnovers, it still lost, 48-7.

Things haven’t gotten much

smoother since that game, as Kent’s only victory has come against FCS South Alabama, 33-25. That game was also the only time this season the Flashes have scored more than 12 points in a game.

The Flashes lost non-conference games to No. 8 Kansas State, who was unranked at the time of the game, and Louisiana-Lafayette. They have dropped conference games to Ohio, Northern Illinois and Miami.

One potential saving grace for Kent State is the aggressiveness of its defense. The Flashes have a plus-two turnover rate, forcing 18 turnovers — eight interceptions, 10 fumbles — in seven games.

Three players on Kent’s defense each have two interceptions: Luke Wollet, Norman Wolfe and Josh Pleasant.

The front seven is paced by C.J. Malauulu, who leads the team with 3.5 sacks on the season.

The lack of offensive production, however has essentially rendered the defense helpless this year.

As a team, Kent is only completing 43.7 percent of its passes, averaging 3.46 yards per attempt, and has a 1-to3 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

The run game hasn’t been much better, as it is averaging 2.1 yards per carry on 248 attempts.

The Flashes have even struggled

breaking off a big play, as their longest play of the season has only gone for 28 yards.

The Flashes do have some players who can do damage, however namely senior receiver Sam Kirkland.

Kirkland has caught 24 passes this season, but hasn’t found the end zone. He is averaging 8.8 yards per reception.

BG to face Zips after tying last two games

By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter

After tying their previous two games 0-0 and 1-1, the BG men’s soccer team must be prepared to score when it plays the defending national champion Zips on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in Akron.

“The month of October was always going to be difficult as we have some great teams on our schedule,” Head Coach Eric Nichols said. “Our focus has remained on ourselves and controlling what we can control.”

Akron is currently ranked as the number 11 team in the country with an 11-2-2 record. The team is coming off a 5-2 win against Buffalo.

“The month of October was always going to be difficult as we have some great teams on our schedule,” Eric Nichols | Head Men’s Soccer Coach The Falcons are currently fourth in the MAC with a 1-1-1 record in the conference and a 7-4-2 record overall. They are coming off a 1-1 tie against Hartwick on Saturday night. “[Akron is] very talented and can punish teams in a number of different ways, but their top goal scorer is Darren Mattocks who has 15 goals,” Nichols said.

Mattocks is coming off a three goal game in their latest win against Buffalo.

Mattocks isn’t the only player to look out for. The Zips also have three other players with more than three goals.

They, also have four players with five or more assists.

“Akron are the defending National Champions and have been one of the best teams in the nation for several years in a row,” Nichols said.

Not only are the zips one of the best teams in the country year in and year out, but they almost never lose in MAC

play, where they have won 25 straight games. The Zips have also not lost a game at home in over 35 tries.

But, this year’s team of Falcons is not the same team that lost to Akron 2-0 last year or 6-0 two years ago.

This team has more confidence and is playing well against some good competition. The Falcons’ early season win against the No. 9 Michigan may give them confidence in the fact that they can compete with the best of the best.

“Akron are the defending National Champions, and so on and so forth,” Nichols said. “That gets everyone excited, but this game is really no more or less important than any other conference game that we play.”

Notes: Falcon hockey near perfect with freshman-weighted team

By Matt Nye Reporter

Last hockey season is easy to forget, but taking a look at last year’s play, the BG hockey team has made some improvements.

If a fan watched a game last year and has seen the early play of the Falcons this year, he or she might ask: “Am I watching Bowling Green hockey?”

BG (4-1-1, 1-1-0 Central Col leg iate Hockey Association) is off to its best start since the 1996-97 season, which opened up with five straight wins. This season is almost comparable being that the Falcons have only lost one game so far.

The Young and the Restless Coming into this season, the Falcons welcomed nine freshmen onto the team, with two seniors on the roster. Coach Chris Bergeron knew he would need the young, inexperienced group to step right in and contribute, but the production so far has been surprising.

Fresh ma n Rya n Carpenter, the CCHA Rookie of the Week in the first week of the season, has opened the season on fire for the Falcons. He made an early impression on his coaches when he opened the season on a four-game point streak, and the team

Pet friendly community

lead in points at six.

Fellow freshmen Adam Berkle and Dan DeSalvo have been heating up lately. DeSalvo is currently on a five-game point streak and has recorded a point in every game except the first of the season versus UConn. Berkle has two points on the season and is coming off a game-winning goal over the weekend against CCHA-leading Lake Superior State.

Camden Wojtala currently leads the team in points with seven. Wojtala has two goals and five assists on the season so far, including two of the four power-play goals for the Falcons.

To give some perspective on the freshman outburst this season, they have scored seven of the 13 goals BG has scored this season.

That includes Carpenter with three goals, who is leading the team in the goal scoring department.

Berkle has been productive this season and has adjusted to the quickness of the college game.

“It’s definitely a big step; everyone is just more physical,” Berkle said. “When I look around the locker room it seems everyone is living Falcon hockey. We are all getting it done on the ice and in the classroom. We just need to keep on working on the little things and be the very best we can be

that night of the game.”

Experience Between the Pipes Coming into this season, junior goaltender Andrew Hammond had the experience and the overall skill set to dominate some games this season.

Hammond has a save percentage of .945 in the CCHA, which has him slated in third place in the conference. He has three goals against him while saving 52 shots, including one shutout against Lake Superior last weekend. He put up back-to-back shutouts for the first time at BG since the 1973-74 season.

Awarded for his play, he was named the CCHA Goaltender of the Week last week. Hammond has also been durable in the early part of the season, playing every minute in the first six games, except when he was pulled in the last game against LSSU for an extra attacker.

Overall on the year, Hammond has saved 133 shots and only has let nine past him.

“We are a little more driven this year to expect more out of ourselves,” Hammond said. “Tough to put your finger on our inconsistencies, but we have established a process that we feel very confident in that makes us successful.”

the play,” Schilz said.

His completion percentage lingers at 60.4 percent.

His average pass yards per game remain steady at 237 yards, where last year his career-high game was a

mere 50 yards more.

“There is no question [Matt] is a much improved quarterback from last year and what’s exciting is he will still get better ... he’s still only a sophomore,” Clawson said. “To me, his decision making is better.”

performance in terms of managing the game.

“I probably didn’t have one of my best games, but I didn’t overthrow the ball — that was a huge thing for me this game,” he said, “I ran the ball a couple of times which was also good so I think that helped a lot in this victory.”

games to add to them.

Jones’ importance to this team extends beyond his significant presence on the field and extends into the locker room. After rolling out individual game captains for the first half of the season, the team named him, along with center Ben Bojicic, permanent captains for the remainder of the season.

“It was awesome,” Jones said. “I love that the guys respect me that much and look up to me that much to elect me captain, and I’m very honored.”

His abilities on the field, as well as his leadership qualities, have drawn high praise from his teammates.

“Chris Jones is awesome; the way he plays, he has a great motor and is a great leader,” said linebacker Dwayne Woods after BG’s 13-10 win over Temple, a game where Jones had three sacks. “I wouldn’t trade him for another tackle in the league or the nation.”

While Jones still has over

a year and a half remaining at BG, he has set goals for himself after his days at BG are over.

“I want to play in the NFL … the number one goal is to graduate, and next is to play in the NFL,” Jones said. “If none of that works out, I would want to get into coaching.”

All season, head coach Dave Clawson has said the team’s goal is to be playing in Detroit for the MAC Championship. By winning their remaining four games, the Falcons can win the MAC East to reach that goal.

Jones, and the rest of the team, know what is at stake, and are prepared to continue to play hard to help make that goal a reality.

“We have a decent schedule coming up, a lot of good teams, so we just have to keep focused and keep practicing hard,” Jones said.

“Once we keep doing that I feel like that will really help us win.”

THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN WISHES TO REMIND MOTORISTS OF THE REGULATIONS PROHIBITING PARKING ON CERTAIN STREETS DURING SNOW, ICE OR SLEET CONDITIONS.

The regulations prohibit parking on the designated streets (including all cul-de-sacs) during “Snow Emergencies.” A “Snow Emergency” can be declared if snow, ice, or sleet is forecast, and in any case will automatically become effective without a declaration when the snow depth reaches two inches (2”).

When a Snow Emergency is declared the news media will be advised. The declaration will contain the effective time of the emergency. If snow reaches a depth of two inches without a Snow Emergency having been declared, the police desk will be able to advise the official time at which snow reached the two inch depth.

If a Snow Emergency becomes effective between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., motorists have two hours in which to remove their vehicles from the designated streets.

If the Snow Emergency becomes effective between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., motorists have until 9:00 a.m. to remove their vehicles from the designated streets.

Vehicles remaining on the designated streets in violation of the regulations are subject to being towed at owner expense.

If a particularly bad storm is forecast, additional streets may be designated in the declaration of emergency. If this should happen, every effort will be made to notify the news media and to post temporary “NO PARKING” signs.

The designated streets are called “SNOW STREETS” and are printed below. “SNOW STREET” signs have been erected on snow streets. It is pointed out, however, that the absence of signs will not relieve motorists of responsibility for improper parking.

Although the City will make every effort to inform the public of the existence of probable development of weather conditions requiring removal of motor vehicles from snow streets, motorists are still responsible for determining probable or existing weather conditions and removing their vehicles if required by the regulations.
