1851 N. Research Drive, a building valued at $1.5 million, is now part of the University, from the generosity of Huntington Bank.

The building, which previously held the operations center for the former Sky Bank, is a 35,000square-foot facility, which will now be used by the University.

A facility of this manner would cost approximately $7 million if the University were to build it, according to a recent University press release.

There is no plan yet for how the building will be used. However, Steven Krakoff, associate vice president for capital planning and design, said it is part of the overall plan of physical improvements.

The new plan began during the past academic year with different meetings held throughout the year with members of the student community.

The physical improvement plan has started with construction

this summer and will continue throughout the next 15 to 20 years, Krakoff said.

This is part of a strong relationship between Huntington Bank and the University, according to President Carol Cartwright in a University press release.

“We appreciate Huntington’s commitment to BGSU,” Cartwright said. “Huntington continues to be a strong community partner.”

Sharon Speyer, regional president for Huntington’s Northwest Ohio Region, said, “At Huntington, we ‘invest forward’ to support the communities in which we live and work. Our success as a business depends upon the success of our communities.”

Huntington Bank has been serving customers for more than 143 years and has more than 600 banks throughout the nation, with its headquarters in Columbus.

The donated building will join the other buildings that are part of Research Park near Interstate 75.

SMOKE: Yesterday, three fire trucks responded to a fire alarm that rang through Eppler. A motor on the bottom floor overheated causing smoke to set off the fire alarms. Students had to evacuate the building while fire fighters controlled the smoke.

CAMPUS BRIEFS

Smoke in Eppler South interrupts classes A motor on the bottom floor of Eppler South overheated at approximately 2:15 p.m. yesterday, causing an abundance of smoke.

The Bowling Green Fire Department responded and ventilated the building, according to an e-mail sent out by campus police.

Multiple classes were interrupted, but some weren’t evacuated.

Brittany McIntyre, senior, was in class when the overheating occurred. She said no one in her class heard the alarm and no firefighters came to evacuate the room.

“That’s ridiculous,” she said.

“We thought it was a fire drill [when we left class], but then we smelled the smoke ... [The firefighters] should have checked the whole building.”

According to senior Josh Feicht it took the fire department around 15 minutes to respond to the alarms. “[When they got here] they brought out the hose and everything,” he said.

At approximately 2:50 p.m., students were still surrounding the building waiting to re-enter to get their belongings from classrooms.

The e-mail sent out by campus police stated only minor smoke damage occurred, which was "expected to be repaired and the area restored” by yesterday evening.

University to save money with budget cuts

In an effort to save money due to an expected defecit for the 2010 fiscal year, the University is looking at several options to make necessary budget reductions, including faculty and staff members employed year-round taking mandatory, unpaid vacations.

According to an e-mail sent Wednesday to faculty and staff members from President Carol Cartwright, The BG News has learned the University has to make up a $6-$10 million defecit.

With an expected three percent enrollment decrease, along with a struggling economy, several cost-cutting programs have to be implemented to help the University get out of this defecit which potentially includes: — Mandatory, unpaid furloughs for staff and faculty members employed year-round: higher-paid staff making in excess of $50,000 would have to take the longest unpaid vacations. Employees making the lowest salaries would not have to participate.

— Decreasing the amount of courses offered while increasing the number of students in classes: due to the expected enrollment drop Cartwright said, “...We do not need the same number of course sections for fewer students.”

— Restructuring and possible elimination of administrative, academic units and programs — More of an emphasis on enrollment recruitment: to combat a 2,000 drop of undergraduate on-campus students from 2006.

— Charging senior-level employees for parking spaces: asking employees to pay for their reserved parking spaces could

save upwards of $500,000.

Marketing and Communications Director Dave Kielmeyer said up to 500 employees might be affected by the furlough, but could all be avoided by taking different courses of actions to save money.

“It does look like we will need to make some more reductions.

It’s just a matter of where and how,” Kielmeyer said.

Recommendations will be made when the University, along with Cartwright will take the budget plan to a board of trustees meeting on June 26.

University police officer suspected of providing alcohol to minors

The Bowling Green City Police Department is investigating a University police officer who allegedly provided alcohol to minors.

The investigation was opened in mid-May, and the BGPD recently turned its results over to the city prosecutor.

Dave Kielmeyer, senior director of communications at the University, said the police officer, whose name has not yet been released, is still working at the University. Administrators are waiting to take action until the investigation ends.

The University issued a statement regarding the issue.

“Bowling Green State University takes any alleged violation of the law by a faculty or staff member very seriously,” the statement reads. “At the same time, we have a duty to ensure that our employees are treated fairly and receive the due process that they are entitled to under the law.”

BRIEF

City resident charged with inducing panic After a nearly two-hour standoff with police, a Bowling Green resident was charged with inducing panic.

The standoff started Wednesday at about 4:45 p.m. when a neighbor of 42year-old Tracy Crouch called to report Crouch acting in a suspicious manner, said Bowling Green Police Lieutenant Tony Hetrick.

“His neighbors noticed him acting odd,” Hetrick said.

BGPD officer Ryan Tackett responded to the neighbor's call and went to Crouch's residence on Arlington Court.

Tackett never actually spoke to Crouch, but did hear what sounded like a shotgun being loaded coming from inside Crouch's garage.

“I went to the front door and rang the door bell and received no answer but the dogs started barking … I continued to ring the door bell several more times, and the dogs continued to bark, but no one answered the door,” Tackett wrote in a police report. “I then heard a male voice yell to my right (inside the house), and then heard the sound of a shotgun rack. I ran to the rear of my vehicle and radioed to dispatch.”

After Tackett's call to dispatch, several more police units were called to the scene. Hetrick said officers tried contacting Crouch multiple times, both by landline phones and cell phones, but no attempts were successful.

Then officers decided to try a “throw-phone,” which is when they found Crouch lying on the floor of his garage.

“In the process of getting a phone to the residence we discovered he was passed out in the garage,” Hetrick said.

Crouch was taken to Wood County Hospital for treatment, but Hetrick said on his release Crouch will be immediately taken to jail.

Crouch was charged with inducing panic, which is a 5th degree felony, Hetrick said. The official sentence will be up to a judge, but because a gun was involved Crouch could serve up to three years in jail.

While no one actually spoke directly with Crouch during the incident, Hetrick said the most probable cause was domestic issues. He said Crouch's wife moved out at the end of May, which sparked some trouble at the residence.

“He has been dealing with some substance abuse issues and things like that,” Hetrick said.

“It’s a University decision as to how we want to utilize the meal plans. ... We’re making decisions in the best interest of the University.”

TINY DANCERS: Justin Clark and Antorian Cobb help promote Little Ceasers’ Grand Opening earlier this spring.

Dance, dance in the pizza, pizza

By Hannah Nusser Reporter

University students and community members may have a few laughs with their pizza as they drive into Little Caesars, located on Main Street next to Kroger.

Customers may be laughing at Little Caesars’ dancers, also known as Shaker Boarders, standing out front dancing and waving signs at passersby.

“It draws people’s attention,” said Andrew Packard, a Little Caesars employee. “We send somebody out there with a sign and business picks up.”

Shaker Boarders are an advertising gimmick that was originated and perfected in California by a company franchise.

According to Packard, the goal of the Shaker Boarders is to draw as much attention to themselves as possible, which can make for some entertainment for city motorists while it also boosts pizza sales.

“They have been a signature of Little Caesars for quite a while,” said Mike Wrobel, owner of the Bowling Green Little Caesars franchise.

“Falcon Dollars is where you can spend your money with [University] Dining Services,” said Joseph Oravecz, associate vice president of student affairs at the University.

Meal plan rates will also change.

For the 2008-2009 school year, the bronze meal plan was $1,200 plus $200 of Flexfunds, the silver plan was $1,320 plus $350 Flexfunds and the gold plan was $1,340 plus $480 Flexfunds.

For the 2009-2010 school year, every meal plan will start at a base rate of $1,200.

The bronze meal plan will then have $240 Falcon Dollars, the silver $520 and the gold $670.

Oravecz said the changes are to bring money back into dining services at the University, and also to allow students more freedom to spend their meal plan money where they choose.

“We wanted to make it simple, non-confusing and to the point,” he said. “Our intent was making sure it was a win-win situation for students and Dining Services.”

Typically between the hours of 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. a Little Caesars employee can be seen standing out in the grassy area between the parking lot and the main drag waving a large ‘$5 Hot n Ready’ sign, dancing and hollering at passersby as they advertise Little Caesars’ famous pizza deal.

The Shaker Boarders always seem to be having fun with their job, which may pay tribute to the increase in business Little Caesars sees whenever a dancer is outside, Wrobel said. The company also receives positive reactions from customers.

Process of ‘holistic’ admissions questioned

Immigration, obesity linked

By Hannah Nusser Reporter

Researching the connection between the phenomenon of overweight and obese children and the growing number of immigrant children in the U.S. has become an interest for one University faculty member.

Kelly Balistreri, the associate director of the National Center for Marriage Research at the University, recently received a federal grant from the National Institute of Health to research the relationship between socioeconomic status and overweight children in the U.S. The grant, titled the Demographic Analysis of Socioeconomic Status Stability & Well-Being Among Children of Immigrants, is $211,166 for two years of research and development. If after the first year the project has made sufficient progress and the NIH budget allows, another $172,239 will be given, totaling $383,405.

The project is aimed specifically at the health of immigrant youth, Balistreri said.

A striking factor in the mystery of childhood obesity in the U.S. is that less obesity is seen in white children with a higher socioeconomic status, she said.

On the contrary, high socioeconomic status in black youth

leads to a higher obesity rate.

Because of this seemingly flipped relationship, the study of immigrant youth is important, Balistreri said. “This is important because children who live in immigrant families is the fastest growing segment of U.S. society under age 18,� she said. “In conjunction with this increase in children living in immigrant families, you have an increase in overweight and obese children.�

Wendy Manning, director of the Center for Family and Demographic research, said it is a major accomplishment to have someone at the University working on this grant. “It’s exciting that we have somebody at Bowling Green who’s doing research on the well-being of children of immigrants and will help fully move our understanding forward and improve the health and well being of the children,�

Manning said.

Deanne Snavely, interim dean of the Graduate College and Vice Provost for Research, said the University intends to submit more grant proposals, four of which are currently under development. “I believe BGSU will be able to garner substantial funding for research and renovation [or] building projects,� Snavely said.

The money was originally going to the Wood County Health Department, but Kielmeyer said as far as he knows, the health department decided not to Ice Arena could receive proceed with the project.

If the money comes through, Kielmeyer $1.5 million in funds said the University would receive $1.9 Funds from a state bill may be allocated million: $1.5 million to renovate the Ice to the University to fund renovations to Arena, $200,000 for the water quality the Ice Arena, water quality testing equip- testing equipment and $200,000 for solar ment and solar research. research and equipment.

CAMPUS BRIEF

By Kate Snyder Campus Editor

Last year, Wake Forest University began admitting students “holistically,� meaning standardized tests became optional and admission interviews were more common and more intense.

But Scott Highhouse, a professor in industrial organization psychology at the University, thinks basing admissions off non-standarized material is a bad idea. “People are overconfident in their ability to predict someone’s success,� he said.

In a conference at Wake Forest (in Winston-Salem, N.C.) to discuss ideas for admitting students, Highhouse cautioned against using a holistic approach.

Highhouse said there are years of scientific research to back up people’s inability to predict how a person will react in certain situations. Psychologists have tried to predict how patients will adapt to society for a while now, and the process is still imperfect. “Those predictions are no better than taking a person’s file and putting it on a kitchen scale,� he said, explaining no matter how detailed someone’s file is, there’s still no accurate method for predicting a person’s success.

Highhouse acknowledged the flaws in standardized testing, but said he reckoned that system is better than personality interviews or tests, because tests like the ACT and SAT are the hardest to fake. “There’s a big coaching industry out there,� he said. “It would be pretty easy to coach people to fake their way through [admission interviews].�

Paul Gauthier, the associate admissions director at Wake Forest, said he believes standardized tests were a barrier to some students. “It’s easier to fall back on standardized test scores,� he said.

“People are overconfident in their ability to predict someone’s success.�

Scott Highhouse | Professor “We think we have the ability to individualize this process.�

Wake Forest is not the first school to start admitting students holistically, but Gauthier admitted they were probably the first national top-30 school to do so.

After the first year of holistic admissions, Gauthier said they would evaluate the first year students’ GPAs to determine how well the new system works.

Regardless of how well it may work for Wake Forest, though, Highhouse doesn’t think the process would work for the University.

“Wake Forest is a lot more selective,� he said. “It would not affect BGSU. [There are] pretty open admissions here anyway.�

Mike Gillespie, an assistant professor of education at the University, also isn’t sure if admitting students holistically will ultimately work for any school.

Gillespie works with assessment research and statistics, and does research on measuring students’ success.

He said in order to more accurately gauge how successful students are or could be at a university, the definition of student success needs to be looked at

and probably changed. “The challenge is, when they leave, we’re done with them and all we have is whether they graduated and what their grades were,� Gillespie said. “I hardly think these are the best criteria for identifying what students got out of college.�

He isn’t sure whether the holistic process will become popular, but he knows the definition of success needs to change. “We need to do a better job identifying what student success is before we do anything else,� he said. “That’s one of the good things I hoped would come out of this movement.�

Who are we to JUDGE others The controversy surrounding George Tiller’s death

COMMENTARY BY PHIL SHURRER | FACULTY COLUMNIST Manyy have mourned d the passing of George orge Tiller, the Kansas doctor cto who performed late-term aborte-t tions.

No sane person would wish this tragedy to befall wo anyone, especially in of worship. Yet murder in n a house h a sanctuary is not without precedent. In 1966, Rabbi hou p Morris Adler dler was murdered m murrdered in front of his own congrega congregation atio on in Southfield, Detroit.

There seem to be no shortage off 1 people murdered in n a house of prayer.

Some are taken aback that a comab parison would be made ma between Tiller, Adler and Becket. And An yet Tiller, Adler and Becket shared at least another common trait: all were human h man beings, entitled hum to respect and dignity. dignitty. This is independent of how they treated others.

Evaluate the person, don’t just crunch the numbers TYLER SWORDEN COLUMNIST Have you ever been holistically evaluated? Frankly I had never heard of such concept until looking at the story budget last week. But the more I thought about it, I started to think that maybe it should be appropriate to consider assessing all human attributes rather than

just the studious ones concerning admissions.

In this regard holism says that a person should not be judged by its individual components, but rather should be evaluated from a “whole” perspective in order to achieve best results.

Without providing analytical commentary or sparking too much of a serious debate on this topic I will attempt to holistically evaluate myself.

Let me first mention how I despise standardized testing.

First, you have to get up early

on a Saturday morning. Then, they confine you to a classroom that looks like a prison (I took the ACT in Olscamp.) Next, you are subject to four hours of plain-Jane problems. Even the ministories for the reading section are mundane.

Anyway, what I am getting at is these tests are not fun and are not intended to be fun. I know most kids say going to school and learning is not fun, but I think it’s a bonus when it is. And let me tell you, even at the college level I have had

some fun classes where I have learned invaluable material.

Thanks Dr. Foust.

So back in high school I took the ACT twice. The first time, I studied like crazy and got a 21. The second time, I hardly prepped and was out late socializing with friends after a football game. Once again, I scored a 21. Don’t they say more often than not if you take the test more than once you will do better?

Last time I checked, I was told that 21 was right around

the average score. Needless to say, I was pretty sickened with my results because, academically speaking, I thought I was better than that. My teachers in high school agreed. They were shocked to find out my score.

They told me I should have tested in the high 20s at the very least if not the low 30s. Now how is that supposed to make me feel?

Regardless, in the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t that big of a deal. It’s not like I was applying for Stanford or any-

thing. I mean, I have always felt I was a B student. I could be an A student but I just didn’t want to sacrifice some of my social tendencies in order to hit the books more. I am, however, pleased with the fact I took honors English and math classes in high school. I have Mrs. Vogtsberger to thank for inspiring me to write. I feel not enough kids appreciating writing and reading.

Local band uses social networking Web site to expand tour

By Matt Liasse Reporter

PROVIDED BY TRAVELING BY SEA

PLAYING IN THE BAND: Lead vocalist Dan Lyon and fellow members of Traveling By Sea provide entertainment at a house party.

“I’m pumped,” said Lauren Gallagher, on keys, organs and vocals. “I’m a girl of few words.”

But even with all of the schedTraveling By Sea, one of Bowling Green’s many local bands, is call- uled dates, the band is still seting on anyone interested to help ting out for more, and has been book dates for their summer tour. using their MySpace music proNow that spring semester is file in order to network and find over and all band mates have a more venues in Ohio, Indiana, chance to play in live shows, the Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and seven-piece band is looking to hit Kentucky. It is evident the stage is the road. The tour, which began what they are yearning for.

“We have the most fun at our last night at Frankie’s Inner-City in Toledo, is scheduled to go well shows,” said Dan Lyon, vocalist, into August. They will be playing guitarist and song-writer.

Lyon said they enjoy having a at Ohio venues such as Werewolf Application in Columbus, blast onstage which sometimes Southpark Tavern in Dayton and includes balloons, dancing around Molly Malones in Cincinatti, as and other goofy antics.

“The main thing is to have fun well as regional venues.

when we play,” he said.

Lyon’s vocals sound like a mix between Kings Of Leon and Vampire Weekend in the chorus of their MySpace profile’s most popular song, “Following Friends,” which to date has over 600 plays.

The band stayed busy over the last couple months and started the summer off by releasing a debut EP last month, titled “I’ve Got Friends On My Side.” The EP was recorded for free in a friend’s garage and features five songs including “Sharks And Commitment” which features smooth guitar and pounding drums leading into a chorus of abrupt singing that sounds quite familiar to The Ramones.

The dedication of the members

Crouching in enemy territory camouflaged in the woods, George Gotich sprints through no-mans land, sets behind a tree, finds his target and shoots to kill.

As Gotich pulls the trigger, a myriad of colors rapidly fires from his gun, claiming victory over his enemy only before he falls victim to a simlar fate, declaring himself dead during one of many games at Bull Creek Paintball.

While losing is never fun, Gotich shakes off being a casualty on the field and waits momentarily for the next game to start.

“It’s not a big deal. Another game starts in 10 minutes,” he said.

As the former owner, Gotich still enjoys going to the course in Portage located 7.5 miles southeast of the University.

Bull Creek Paintball is an outdoor venue covering 23.5 playable acres in the woods with many features such as multiple bunkers, a running

creek and a 12-foot high wooden fort at the center of the playing field.

Since opening in 1994, Bull Creek Paintball offers multiple variations of paintball games ranging from capture the flag to a last man standing elimination.

With over 3,000 players coming each year to play, anyone from a 10-year-old child to a former World War II Veteran can get away from reality and experience the thrills paintball will give to the random person, Gotich said.

“For a couple of hours, I’m not 37 years old with a wife and mortgage. I’m a 15-year-old kid without any problems in life,” he said.

While Gotich still enjoys Bull Creek Paintball, he sold the facility to Jason Swearingen who also owns Warzone Paint Games in Sylvania, Ohio.

In a partnership with his parents, Swearingen is building his own mini-empire of paintball, and providing the lone indoor [speedball course] and

MOVIE REVIEWS

‘LAND OF THE LOST’

‘THE HANGOVER’ WHAT BRADFORD MILLER THINKS: Every once in awhile, a comedy comes along that has you reciting lines and scenes in your head, over and over and over. I haven’t had that experience since last year’s “Tropic Thunder,” so I’ve been patiently waiting for a movie to split my sides, with little to no success.

Then, when all hope seemed lost, “The Hangover” hit theaters. And ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, it dazzled with comedy bravura. Now, although I had some hope that this movie would be funny thanks to the directing of Todd Phillips, who is responsible for the classic comedy “Old School,” I was still pretty skeptical. But the intro to the movie almost immediately put those negative feelings to bed, and then the real fun ensued.

The three leads, Phil, Stu and Alan, played by Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, were an abso-

lute perfect comedy trio.

Cooper, who portrays the good-looking hunk, knows exactly how to put down the pretty boy performance and act like a complete goof throughout the film. Helms, who everyone knows as Andy on “The Office,” brings a hilarious element of a man desperately trying to control his life (well, his wifeto-be being the form of control). But the real star of this movie is Galifianakis, who plays the insanely unorthodox weirdo, Alan. For all of you movie buffs, Zach

WHAT VINCE DRIVER THINKS:

played Luke in “Out Cold.”

Let’s be honest here, this is a movie about a hangover from the previous night’s bachelor party. Phil, Stu and Alan then go on a crazy adventure to find their lost friend Doug, who is getting married that same weekend. But in order to find Doug, the three guys have to go from place to place and try to remember and relive the events of the previous night. Sounds cliché and stupid, doesn’t it? Well it is, so get over it. But like “Old School,” this movie knows it’s a cheap thrill comedy, which makes this movie a complete winner. It has it all, from Mike Tyson’s tiger, to babies hanging out in closets to a delicious treat called Skittles.

Forget what you read from picky critics or movie snobs because “The Hangover” is a piece of comedy gold. And I guarantee that it will have you guessing from beginning to end.

With “Land of the Lost,” Will Ferrell somehow manages to top the stupidity of “Step Brothers.”

Surprisingly enough, this makes for a hilarious movie.

The film opens up with Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell) being interviewed by Matt Lauer on his theories about time warps. After Lauer embarrasses Marshall, he storms off, returning only to attempt to strangle Lauer. A discouraged Marshall is later convinced to complete his time portal device

has payed off, especially since the creation of the band was accidental. In November of 2008, Lyon was actually planning to do a solo act with songs he had written. But after getting together with “really good friends, roommates and acquaintances,” the act grew into the band it is now, which includes Brett Horner on guitar, Matt Gorey on bass and vocals, Mark Dally on drums, Jane Davenport on clarinet and vocals, and Andrew Bair on tambourine and extra percussion, even using his hands as instruments in the hand-clapping segments in songs.

YAHOO! MOVIES

Halfway through the first set at the Crosby, Stills and Nash concert Sunday night at the Toledo Zoo, Graham Nash looked out at the crowd and said, “Do you want to sing?”

After an overwhelming majority of the crowd accepted Nash’s challenge, he jokingly responded, “We are not going to pay you, you know that, right? Well, Crosby might.”

When the crowd was still laughing from his playful sense of humor, Nash made his way over to a keyboard at the edge of the stage and captivated the crowd with a flawless performance of “Our House.” At 67, Nash can still sing.

The amount of energy he still possesses not only makes a good stage show, but is also inspiring in terms of how an individual can hold onto a passion so dearly for so many years. His consistent and affectionate interaction with the crowd raises his stage presence to a level that few musicians can achieve.

But Nash is not the only member of the band that brings undeniable talent to the table. Although David Crosby and Steven Stills do not have the outgoing stage personality of Nash, they have skills that make the trio a perfect fit.

Stills continuously played impressive lead guitar throughout the night, as well as sang classics such as “Southern Cross” and a bluesy version of his former band Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.”

Although Crosby played rhythm guitar and sang backing vocals for the majority of the show, his ability to harmonize is absolutely impeccable and his presence alone is satisfying. Whenever Crosby took lead vocals, the crowd erupted in cheers, and he did so during “Déjà Vu” and “Almost Cut My Hair.” At the tail end of the first set, Nash gave the crowd a brief riddle by saying, “This is a song by some friends of ours.”

Speculations came wildly from the crowd.

“Beatles,” one man screamed.

“The Stones,” said another.

After allowing the crowd to exercise a couple of guesses Nash broke the mystery, “This ones for Garcia,” referring to the Grateful Dead guitarist/vocalist who died in 1995 and had collaborated with members of CSN on various projects. The second set was loaded with classics including “Marrakesh Express”, “Military Madness” and “Teach Your Children.”

Although the band’s first performance dates back to the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, their passion and ability to play music remains the same. They are able to harmonize vocally and instrumentally in a way that makes them a truly special part of the last 40 years of music. The level of energy, talent and fun that the band incorporates and the crowd thrives off makes the 2009 Crosby, Stills and Nash tour a must see.

Vick continues bankruptcy this week in hearings, NFL on hold

BG SPORTS

By Larry O’Dell The Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A judge who rejected Michael Vick’s first bankruptcy plan warned the suspended NFL star’s lawyers yesterday that they have just one more chance to file a workable proposal for repaying the millions he owes to creditors.

As Vick sat silently in the front of the courtroom, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Santoro set a July 2 deadline for submission of a revised Chapter 11 plan. A hearing to confirm or reject the plan was set for Aug. 27.

Santoro said that if the new plan fails to address the shortcomings that prompted him to reject the first one in April, he will appoint an independent trustee to take over management of Vick’s finances.

“The feasibility of it the last goround, as I ruled, left something to be desired,” Santoro said.

Santoro said he had major concerns about the first plan — how Vick will make enough money to pay his obligations, and how he will come up with the more than $3 million to pay his lawyers within three years.

“Those are two pretty big holes,” Santoro said.

Vick’s attorney, Paul Campsen, said the new plan will make payment of legal fees contingent upon Vick’s future income.

“If he doesn’t make money, the lawyers don’t get paid,” Campsen said. “We’ve taken that burden off his shoulders.”

Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback who once was the league’s highest paid player and among its most popular, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July of 2008, claiming assets of $16 million and liabilities of $20.4 million.

The first plan was based heavily on an assumption that Vick would resume playing for the NFL. It would have allowed him to keep his first $750,000 in annual income, with a percentage of amounts over

that going to creditors.

However, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has not committed to reinstating Vick after he completes his 23-month sentence on July 20 for running a dogfighting ring. The only income Vick is assured of now is the $10 an hour he is making in a construction job that is part of the conditions of his home confinement, which began May 21.

Neither the judge nor Vick’s lawyers specifically addressed the issue of Vick’s return to the NFL at yesterday’s hearing.

Vick said nothing to a handful of reporters as he entered the courthouse, and again after he left in a Range Rover driven by his fiancee, Kijafa Frink. Before the hour long hearing and during a brief recess,

he smiled often and chatted softly with his lawyers and with Frink, who sat a few feet behind him in the first row of the gallery.

“He’s just getting reunited with his family and back into the community,” his criminal attorney, Lawrence Woodward, told reporters after the hearing before deflecting further questions about how Vick is faring since leaving the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan. Along with the plan filing and confirmation dates, Santoro tentatively set a June 30 status hearing for update on the progress of drafting a new plan. He also scheduled a July 31 hearing on a revised financial disclosure statement that Vick will file this month. He reserved July 30 to hear motions, if any are filed.

Plea entered in case of pitcher death SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP)—The man charged with killing Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others in a drunken-driving crash pleaded not guilty Monday to three counts of murder as relatives of the victims looked on.

Andrew Thomas Gallo also pleaded not guilty through his attorney to three other felony charges and one misdemeanor in connection with the April 9 collision that occurred just hours after Adenhart pitched six scoreless innings in his season debut.

The 22-year-old Gallo watched from inside a security enclosure as defense attorney Randall Longwith entered the pleas before an Orange County Superior Court judge. About 15 members of Gallo’s family were in court.

While waiting for Gallo to appear, 24-year-old Jon Wilhite, the lone member of Adenhart’s group to survive, began to sob.

Wilhite, who had critical injuries in the wreck, was embraced by friends and family.

Longwith said later in an interview that he will seek a change of venue because he believes Gallo cannot get a fair trial in Orange County, home of the Angels and the California State University, Fullerton baseball team for

PLEA: Andrew Thomas Gallo, right, consults with his attorney, Randall T. Longwith, in Orange County Superior Court Monday June 8, 2009 in Santa Ana, Calif. The man charged with killing Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others in a drunken driving crash pleaded not guilty Monday to three counts of murder as relatives of the dead and one survivor looked on.

which Wilhite had played.

The attorney noted that in another courthouse where Gallo made a previous appearance, an Angels poster was in the hallway leading to the courtroom.

Longwith also said there have been death threats against Gallo and himself via the Internet, phone and in a letter.

“I think people are venting and it’s just evidence of the passion people have in this case. I don’t think it’s a true threat,” he said, noting he had not brought it to the district attorney’s attention.

Deputy District Attorney Susan

Price disputed the need for moving the case.

“We don’t believe that the defendant will be any more prejudiced in this county than in any other county,” said Price, who was flanked by the victims’ family members at a brief news conference outside the courtroom.

Price said Gallo faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 45 years to life in prison if convicted of the three second-degree murder charges. If convicted of all charges, the minimum would be 54 years and eight months to life.

Police have said Gallo had

The impact spun around both vehicles, and one then struck another car but that driver was not hurt, police said.

Gallo fled on foot and was captured about 30 minutes later, police said.

The 22-year-old Adenhart died in surgery at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center.

Another passenger, 25-year-old Henry Nigel Pearson of Manhattan Beach, and the driver, 20-yearold Courtney Frances Stewart of Diamond Bar, died at the scene.

Stewart was a student at nearby Cal State Fullerton, where she was a cheerleader in 200708. Pearson, who played high school baseball with Wilhite, was a graduate of Arizona State

University and was pursuing a law degree when he died.

Wilhite, of Manhattan Beach, was hospitalized for weeks for “internal decapitation,” a rare and often fatal separation of the skull from the spinal column.

Wilhite, who played baseball from 2004-08 at Fullerton, has since been discharged from the hospital and is undergoing outpatient physical therapy.

He came to the arraignment in a wheelchair but was able to get up and enter the courtroom under his own power, albeit with an unsteady gait.

His head was closely shaved and had a long scar at the base of the skull.

He and his family declined to comment after the arraignment.

Longwith noted that Gallo was being housed in a 14-man jail cell and was not in protective custody. He said his client is frequently in tears during their meetings and was crying when he came into court.

“He was pretty much in shock,” Longwith said.

And it really is more than just recognition to put on my resume. I suppose in a physical sense, it is a lot having a great GPA or test score to boast to potential employers. But seriously, what is more important is what you had to go through in

All African countries are not identical JEREMY LEVY | U-WIRE COLUMNIST omeone needs to tell Oprah that Africa isn't one country. This is what Lindsay Louis, a trainee at the South African Department of Foreign Affairs, said when I spoke with him during my recent trip to South Africa. From his perspective, Oprah is one of many reasons Americans think that all African countries are identical.

He’s right. Most of us know little about Africa, and our inability to distinguish between its countries is, without question, linked to the continent’s portrayal by charities and the media. Despite our lack of knowledge, we’ve demonstrated an immense desire to help Africa and donate money. But if Americans want to make a serious contribution to Africa’s well-being, they can start by recognizing that African countries each experience a unique set of problems.

Most everyone knows that African countries face serious problems with HIV/AIDS and poverty, that the continent is known for slums rather than cities and that many countries experience political unrest. But they don’t know how these problems vary from country to country, as I found when discussing my trip with people when I came home. Many displayed a mild degree of ignorance, asking if I stayed in a tent or a hotel, or if I was at risk of contracting tuberculosis. Some didn’t seem to know that the country I was in even existed. One student in my group from the University of Michigan called her credit card company to say she was going to South Africa, to which the representative responded, “Which country?”

The misguided perception that all African countries are the same isn't surprising. The continent receives most of its exposure from celebrity-sponsored charities that inform us about continental issues. It's difficult to ignore products from Bono’s (Product)Red campaign against HIV/AIDS or the 2005 Live 8 concert festival intended to raise awareness about African poverty. Such projects are admirable ways of providing emergency relief to a continent that needs it. But they spread the false perception that Africa’s poverty can be solved through charity alone, which leads people to believe that the problems each country faces are identical.

In reality, each country faces different problems, and longterm solutions to those problems will vary from country to country. In South Africa, for instance, overcoming poverty and disease will require overcoming de facto segregation, which still exists despite the collapse of apartheid in 1994. Most South Africans

[Americans] can start by recognizing that African countries each experience a unique set of problems. who are white, Indian or of a mixed heritage earn normal or high incomes by U.S. standards, and the poorest citizens are predominantly of African descent.

For this reason, solutions in South Africa require more than just charity. They will require equalizing a segregated job market and restructuring a largely private health care system that primarily caters to those who already have money.

Media and news sources also contribute to the one-country myth by perpetuating stereotypes that the continent is run solely by corrupt governments.

News stories tend to mask the true progress achieved by developing governments and portray Africa as a continent destined to diverge into disorder.

Media coverage of South Africa uses these stereotypes by implying that its government is not yet a true democracy due to its lack of a competitive party system. When the New York Times and The Economist covered the recent South African presidential election, they focused heavily on this point. They drew attention to the fact that no political party can compete with the African National Congress, the party that has won every presidential election and controlled South Africa’s Parliament since 1994. But it’s the South African citizens who have always voted for the ANC in large numbers.

This trend is unlikely to change in the near future. The insistence that these results are disappointing undermines the fact that South African officials are elected democratically and fairly.

Charities and media sources have succeeded in making us believe that Africa is one giant disease stricken, impoverished country engaged in civil war.

We are willing to donate billions of dollars to Africa and simultaneously hesitant to believe that its governments are developing democracies. Because of this distorted view, we have not realized that the countries that make up Africa are diverse and the solutions to their problems will have to be diverse as well.

In South Africa’s case, charity alone will not fix the systematic segregation that fuels poverty. If we can collectively change our perception of Africa from that of a homogeneous continent, we will find it be beneficial to our desire to help.

order to earn those scores. How do the means justify the end?

Again, I didn’t get the best grades or best scores in school, but I challenged myself. I diversified my interests and have found something I am passionate about. I may not be the best at it, but it makes me happy and in the end, I am able to share it with others. Thanks for reading, now go pick up a book or write down just how you feel about yourself instead of Facebooking.

CARD act needs reevaluation MICHIGAN DAILY EDITORIAL BOARD College students need a babysitter. Or at least that’s what the federal government thinks, if the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 is any indicator. The Credit CARD Act requires all credit card applicants under the age of 21 to have a co-signer above the age of 21 or to prove their ability to be responsible with a credit card. But the law doesn’t respect the autonomy of college-aged individuals as legal adults and hurts their financial independence.

Though the CARD Act has its merits, the federal government should reevaluate the need to treat young adults like children.

President Barack Obama signed the Credit CARD Act into law on May 22 to protect American consumers from some of the unfair practices of credit card companies. The law was designed to help credit card holders make informed financial decisions by banning retroactive rate increases and fees and making credit card terms clearer. But Title III of the Credit CARD Act goes further, establishing barriers before young adults can obtain a credit card. The law mandates that credit card applicants under 21 have "a parent, guardian, or other qualified individual" co-sign their credit card application or prove their financial responsibility. If young adults decide to take full responsibility for their credit card and can't provide documentation that convinces a credit card company they are financially stable, they will be required to complete a financial literacy course.

It’s admirable that the federal government has decided to protect consumers from credit card companies’ misleading tactics. The Credit CARD Act protects consumers from hidden fees and rate increases. It ensures that consumers can easily understand their credit card terms and decide if they are able to successfully use them. But this decision should be left to all consumers, not only those 21 and older.

Despite the good qualities of the Credit CARD Act, the restrictions laid out in Title III seem like a lot of work to obtain a card that makes a financially stable future possible. While it's nice that the federal government wants to protect younger citizens, this clause is a major stumbling block for young adults who are ready for financial independence.

“For right now, we are the leader of paintball,” he said.

Other than providing entertainment for local players, another reason Swearingen is expanding is due to his ever-lasting enjoyment of paintball.

While improving the overall experience, Swearingen wants to maintain the legacy Bull Creek Paintball has installed throughout the years by making sure it consistently pleases the players.

“It’s an adrenaline-driven sport.

It’s good, clean fun,” he said. “Bull Creek has been known as a great field and we want to keep that legacy and make it an even nicer field than it was in the past.”

With all the fun involved in the game, competitiveness could overtake a player, but Swearingen cites paintball as one of the safest sports to play, compared to bowling, golf and tennis where mandatory protection gear is not necessary.

But for those concerned about speeding pellets whizzing by their head, Bull Creek Paintball mandates all players wear facemasks.

They also recommend players wear protective gear like longsleeve padded shirts and pants to protect from welts and bruises.

Players usually take two polarizing tactics to eliminate others: either sit back and snipe a player from a long distance, or take an aggressive stance like 10-year veteran Douglas Dukett. Dukett will rush and fire on all cylinders while trying to get as many people out giving off an intimidating presence.

“My mindset is to kill as many people as I can as the time runs out,” Dukett said. “It’s pretty much a kill frenzy and [I] just count them.”

As a referee, Dukett said a player can gain a lot more experience by observing tendencies such as location and patterns players fall into, giving them an advantage

Even though refereeing can help his game, Dukett gets his joy on the field by causing havoc and being a distraction to other players.

LOST From Page 5 of the movie is to give Ferrell as many opportunities to act as ridiculous as possible. The film opened up to nearly universal negative reviews, and this could be attributed to terrible marketing. “Land of the Lost” is not an adventure movie, and it definitely is not a children’s movie. The best description for the film is loosely connected sketch comedy, as any connection between the scenes is forced and uninteresting. There is little resemblance to the classic television show, as well, which may turn off some moviegoers.

Weak plot aside, Will Ferrell is absurd as Dr. Rick Marshall.

Though the gags alternate between strong and unfunny, Ferrell’s dialogue continually shines through the movie, and

in many scenes McBride only amplifies the effect. This is also one of the reasons that the marketing of the film is borderline criminal, as the dialogue is constantly crude. The juvenile sexual humor is perfect in form, with both male leads delivering in hilarious deadpan.

“Land of the Lost” is confused about its identity. The gags and jokes are almost all adult oriented, yet the dinosaur scenes are obviously targeted at children. Late in the film an attempt is made at creating an emotional scene, and this falls flat because it contradicts the tone of the movie up until that point. Yet despite these issues and gags that sometimes fall flat, Will Ferrell and Danny McBride manage to carry the film on their shoulders. Don’t expect “Jurassic Park” meets “Lost in Space,” expect “Talladega Nights” meets “Kids in the Hall.”
