For the first time ever, World Wrestling Entertainment brought their own unique blend of family entertainment to a receptive Bowling Green audience.

Smackdown and ECW invaded Anderson Arena and put on a death-defying display of high-flying, adrenaline-fueled excitement that kept fans on their feet all night long.

Hundreds of people stood inline, hoping to catch a glimpse of their wrestling heroes.

The event started with ring announcer Justin Roberts welcoming fans to the event and letting fans know they would play an important part in the show by allowing them to text in votes for their choice in a match for the ECW Championship.

The wrestlers’ interaction with the fans helped make this a show that many in attendance will remember for a long time to come.

The crowd went wild after the Irish wrestler Dave Finlay and his leprechaun, Hornswoggle,

HAWK: Yesterday morning University Flight Instructor Jason Thompson snapped a photo of what was first believed to be a falcon perched atop the tail of a University plane. The bird was later identified as a red-tailed hawk. Joan Kitchen, the chief flight instructor, said she has seen the hawk hanging around the airport feeding on mice, but never in 20 years has she seen it perch on the tail of an airplane. The make of the airplane is ironically a Cessna Sky Hawk.

Many market observers are hoping for details of the plan to emerge by midweek and delays could weigh further on investor sentiment. “This government opening of the checkbook — it’s a stopgap measure that will calm people and help us buy a little bit more time but ultimately what we need to see is more confidence,� said Rob Lutts, chief investment officer at Cabot Money Management Inc. in Salem, Mass.

While investors try to gauge the effect of the government’s lifeline they also were absorbing more rapid changes in the banking sector. Morgan Stanley said it is working to sell up to a 20 percent stake to Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., Japan’s largest bank.

The announcement comes after the Federal Reserve late Sunday granted Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, Wall Street’s last two major investment banks, approval to change their status to bank holding companies. The move will allow the companies to set up commercial banks that will be able to take deposits, significantly bolstering the resources of both. However, they also will be subject to more regulation.

That shift came a week after negotiations failed to save Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. from bankruptcy. That and a quickly assembled government bailout for insurer American International Group Inc. helped lead to a seizing up of the credit markets that spurred federal officials to formulate a plan to rescue companies from their bad debt.

Oil’s rise of $16.37 to a closing price $120.92 a barrel came as investors snapped up supplies to cover the October contract, which expired at the end of yesterday’s session.

Although the contract’s pending expiration helped inflate crude’s advance — it was up $25.45 at one point — trading still showed the intensity of emotion in the market, and still-active contracts also rose sharply.

The yield on the Treasury’s 3-month Treasury bill was at 0.88 percent Monday, down from 0.94 percent late Friday, indicating that investors were still willing to take low returns on a safe asset. However, the yield was well above yields around zero at the height of last week’s frenetic buying; yields move in the opposite direction from price. Shortterm Treasurys are seen as the safest place to put cash.

The Treasury’s 2-year note’s yield was at 2.16 percent, up from 2.13 percent Friday. The yield on the 10-year benchmark Treasury rose to 3.85 percent from 3.81 percent late Friday.

Investors could grow nervous about the trajectory of the government’s bailout plan if it appears that enough progress isn’t being made, observers said. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said yesterday he wants the government to receive a stake in the companies helped by the rescue.

Senate Democrats are also calling for the plan to include aid for homeowners struggling with mortgage payments and caps on executive compensation.

USG pushes for voters India Hunter Reporter

As the presidential election comes closer, members of the Undergraduate Student Government hope to continue efforts in registering students to vote.

During last night’s general assembly meeting, representatives from The College Democrats spoke during the open forum asking for USG’s assistance in getting students registered.

Holly Cipriani, a member of the College Democrats, asked USG for its help in getting students registered and actually voting in this year’s presidential election.

Cipriani spoke of some problems faced while registering students.

“Since we are the College Democrats, people are sometimes hesitant to register because of the party affiliation, and that is why we would like to work with USG and other student organizations as an umbrella group in registering students,” she said.

So far Cipriani said College Democrats have registered about 1,700 students on- and off-campus students, but most have been off-campus students.

“We’ve been successful in getting students registered, however many of those students live off campus,” Cipriani said.

Cipriani said she would like to see more on-campus students registered to vote.

“You are considered a resident of Wood County, and so you should care about where you live and vote,” Cipriani said.

USG President John Waynick also said he would like to see more students registered, but stressed that USG would not affiliate with a particular political party’s viewpoints.

“USG is nonpartisan and we will remain nonpartisan,” Waynick said.

Since early voting begins Sept. 30, Cipriani and Waynick said they would like to work quickly in registering more students.

“It is blitz time, but I know we can continue registering even more students,” Waynick said.

“About 95 percent of the time students forget to get an absentee ballot,” Cipriani said.

This is a reason why Cipriani said she would like students to re-register to vote once they arrive in Bowling Green.

“It’s really quick and easy to do, and that way you can vote right here in BG when election time rolls around,” Cipriani said.

Jeff Kegolis, a co-advisor to USG, gave members a challenge.

“I urge you to learn more about each candidate and the position on the issues and to then share that information with your constituents,” Kegolis said.

Kegolis also asked USG members to watch the presidential debates and to keep up with what is going on with each party so they can be an informed student body.

Waynick also reminded USG members they represent the students of the University, so they owe it to them to know what is going on in the world.

“We are here for the students,” Waynick said.

Maryland College Democrats take action

By Ben Penn U-Wire

Some University of Maryland students, undeterred by the state’s lack of battleground status this presidential election, are taking action 40 minutes down the road in the far more consequential state of Virginia.

Members of the College Democrats knocked on the doors of undecided voters in the Springfield, Va.-area Saturday afternoon, part of the group’s efforts to campaign for Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in a traditionally conservative state that is considered in play for the Democrats this year.

“Maryland is never going Republican,” said Bill Franklin, a freshman computer science major, as he prepared to depart for Virginia on Saturday.

“Virginia is going to be a big tossup and what’s going to make a big difference is the ground game — volunteering, like I do.”

Franklin was one of 16 students who volunteered last weekend while six students campaigned the Saturday before, College Democrats Vice President Amy Hartman said. Hartman hopes the number of volunteers will double each week in the six Saturdays

remaining prior to the election.

Senior economics and government and politics major Jason George knocked on around 50 doors in several hours, and found the people he talked to mostly receptive to his appeal for Obama.

“For a lot of people, it was just kind of giving them information and asking them if they had made up their minds yet. I wasn’t really having heated discussions,” George said. “They appreciated that somebody was willing to go out and take the time to reach them.”

The student volunteers’ ability to sway enough undecided voters for Virginia to carry a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 is unclear, but one volunteer coordinator remains optimistic.

“There’s a general rule of thumb: For every four voters you

talk to, you’re picking up one vote. That’s going to be a big difference maker right there,” said Justin Slaughter, the Washington outreach coordinator with the Virginia campaign, who deals with volunteers from both Maryland and Washington.

Republicans on the campus are also acknowledging the importance Virginia will play in this election and are stepping up their canvassing in the area.

College Republicans President Chris Banerjee said his group plans on traveling to northern Virginia in the next few weeks to staff a phone bank for Republican candidate Sen. John McCain (RAriz.), and will attend rallies and pass out campaign literature.

One local McCain campaign official has noticed a number of Maryland volunteers devoting time in Virginia.

“We have seen a large num-

ber of volunteers who are in Maryland who want to designate their weekends to efforts in Virginia at the grassroots level, and that goes for students, working men and women, senior citizens and anybody who wants to be active and go to where all the action is in Virginia,” said Gail Gitcho, McCain’s communications director for the midAtlantic region. “We certainly do welcome them.”

College Democrats and Republicans are not the only student groups spearheading campaigning trips in nearby states. Hartman said she is hoping College Democrats will team up with Students for Barack Obama, and the campus activist group Community Roots is planning on coordinating meetings to educate students on the election process, according to Steve Jackson, the group’s president.

It won’t destroy the earth, it won’t make a black hole, it’s just science KYLE SCHMIDLIN COLUMNIST Critics have lobbed a number of arguments against it. It could potentially create a black hole that would gobble and grind up the Earth. It could create a Big Bang and a universe, possibly similar to our own Big Bang and universe (do we have origins in some alien particle accelerator?).

And the cost of the structure is an incredible $8 billion.

Still, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC, a massive particle collider recently fired up at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN for short), is well worth the effort.

Not since Newton, Einstein and Heisenberg has the potential for human understanding seemed so limitless.

To better understand exactly what is going on at CERN, I recently sat down for a discussion

about it with University professor Dr. Lewis Fulcher. He explained that although there certainly is the possibility of finding out numerous interesting things, the tests will be conducted primarily to confirm the existence of two previously-hypothesized phenomena about our world: the Higgs boson, and extra dimensions.

These extra dimensions are not exactly of the “Twilight Zone” variety — instead, the ones the LHC seeks to confirm experimentally are almost impossibly tiny, curled up and hidden from our perception.

However, according to the laws of energy conservation, we should be able to pour huge amounts of energy into very small spaces, and if we see any of this energy dissipate, it will be reasonable to assume that it dissipated into one of these hidden dimensions.

The energy with which protons and antiprotons will be fired at one another in the LHC is immense. Essentially, the experiments are massive “Myth

Busters”-style demolition. The particles will smash into each other at incredible speeds and with trillions of electron volts.

Upon impact, they will smash into tiny bits, and the hope is that one of these bits will bear the expected energy signature of the hypothesized Higgs boson, the popularly-named “God particle,” believed to be responsible for giving mass to matter.

Radical new ideas in science have always met resistance, particularly with men like Galileo.

The LHC is no exception, with criticisms coming from all directions. Most popular in the media is its capacity to create worlddevouring black holes. But the notion any of these could destroy

the Earth has “no scientific basis,” according to Fulcher.

An article from MSNBC begins, “The builders of the world’s biggest particle collider are being sued in federal court over fears that the experiment might create globe-gobbling black holes or never-before-seen strains of matter that would destroy the planet.”

StartsWithABang.com lent this argument as much credence as possible, and even provided a compelling worst-case scenario of a black hole being created in the machine and staying in Earth’s gravitational field.

According to their results, a black hole of the nature creatable by CERN would gobble the Earth

up at an alarming one gram over three billion years. There simply isn’t a threat of this nature from the LHC. CERN isn’t the only place where scientific progress is being made. For about ten years, Fulcher did important work looking at fundamental particles called quarks and antiquarks, as bound together in mesons. It may be difficult to understand without some physical background, but mesons are believed to carry the force holding protons and neutrons together; they are, in a sense, the fundamental glue holding matter together.

Maybe the most unfortunate criticism of the LHC is the immense cost of the structure.

In the United States, with so many Americans feeling financial pincers in all aspects of their life, such a project would have a particularly hard time getting off the ground. While I can certainly understand the view that the money would be better spent feeding and clothing the hungry of the world, a tiny fraction

of our massive defense budget could easily do the same, many times over.

Perhaps rather than diverting money from programs like NASA and CERN-like equivalents in the U.S., such as Fermilab near Chicago, we could halt construction of our billion dollar embassy in Iraq, or produce a few fewer bombs, or fund fewer covert CIA operations. We should look to France and Switzerland as models, and increase funding for our own scientific endeavors.

Try imagining a world where governments, instead of playing Chess over oil-rich regions of the world at immense cost to both local and domestic populations, look to gain an enlightened wisdom for discovering the inner workings of our universe. I can think of no more humbling way to pursue the path toward peace.

Give me back my rollover, or at least my Campus Corners MARISHA PIETROWSKI COLUMNIST

I have been craving a Falcon Fan Mocktail ever since the end of last semester.

For those of you not enrolled at the University before this year, this was a signature item at Campus Corners. This was a meal-plan friendly, sit-down restaurant students could go to in order to escape the numerous cafeteria-style options on campus, or avoid microwave meals to go.

The food prices were higher than those at other dining locations on campus, meaning it was easier to spend the large amounts of meal plan points residents are forced to purchase.

Unfortunately, I will never again have the chance to enjoy this orange drink, or anything else from this restaurant. At the beginning of the semester, UDS decided to close Campus Corners and move a weekendonly Commons Buffet to the location.

With the drastic rise in food costs, it is understandable UDS needed to make cuts to their operating budget, and one of the cuts is the controversial decision to get rid of meal plan rollover from academic year to year.

However, in addition to that decision, UDS has decided to remove the option that would best help students spend their meal plan points, since full course meals were offered at premium prices at Campus Corners.

By taking away a unique dining center on campus, UDS has made it difficult for students to spend their meal plans by the end of the academic year, leaving rollover they will not see again.

Now, students have no options to enjoy a sit-down meal with their meal plan points they pay so much to have. Everything is limited to ala carte choices from dining centers, or pre-made and microwave meals from the convenience stores which accept meal plan points.

These items tend to be less expensive than full course meals. Therefore, I am having issues spending my meal plan fast enough to avoid UDS from keeping what I paid for at the end of spring semester.

It was easy to spend $25 per person at Campus Corners, which is difficult at the remaining dining centers. Students’ meal plan rates have risen, and it is unfortunate UDS decided to remove the facility where students could have a unique meal and spend their money.

While students can still have a sit down lunch at the Greenery in the Student Union, only flex points may be used. However, since residents are allotted such a small amount of flex points, they cannot regularly eat there.

Campus Corners helped students spend their larger amount of meal plan points available to them, and students will have to find new ways to spend the money they will lose in May. When I attended freshman orientation, University students were explaining the various dining options on campus. I remember Campus Corners was touted as the impressive dining center where you could take your parents or visiting friends and show off the dining options.

I took this advice to heart, inviting people to help me spend the enormous amount of meal plan dollars I had to spend (and this was before they took away rollover!).

Now, there is no place on campus that is unique or special to the University, and it’s not as

THE BG NEWS FREDDY HUNT, EDITOR IN CHIEF 210 West Hall Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, Ohio 43403 | Phone: (419) 372-6966 E-mail: thenews@bgnews.com Web site: http://www.bgnews.com Advertising: 204 West Hall | Phone: (419) 372-2606

nice to take a friend or family member to the remaining dining centers. That is not meant as an insult to the dining centers on campus, but they do not offer the same sit-down atmosphere and made to order food as Campus Corners did.

Campus Corners was a nice change of pace from other dining centers on campus offering some of the same food at different locations. College students are on the go and don’t necessarily have a plethora of time, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like the occasional sit-down meal. It is sorely missed by at least one diner, and my large meal plan balance.

If you are in the same situation I am (too many meal plan points, not enough options to spend them), it’s time to buy bulk. Go to the convenience stores and stock up on anything nonperishable you can take home.

I know I do not want to leave any rollover money to the school, so I pick up anything I think family or friends would appreciate when I return home. If I still need to spend, I have no problems buying food on campus, and giving it to local food banks.

If UDS is going to take away our options to spend our meal plan, it is necessary to find new ways to spend it.

As for the Falcon Fan Mocktail, the closest substitution I can recommendisanorangeCreamSlush from Sonic. Of course, Sonic is neither on campus nor meal plan friendly, but still delicious.

State secretary sued over GOP ballots

By Philip Elliott The Associated Press

COLUMBUS — Ohio’s elections chief was sued yesterday for a second time for suggesting that counties reject absentee ballot requests that were printed by John McCain’s presidential campaign and that she considers incomplete.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, has been unfairly advising boards of elections to reject the GOP petitions, according to William Todd, an attorney advising Republicans on ballot issues, who filed the lawsuit at the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of two Franklin County voters.

Residents Paul Doucher and Deloris Eagle wanted to vote by mail and sent in a request for absentee ballots, the lawsuit said. But both had left blank a box that indicated they are qualified voters.

“Ohio law is clear that there needs to be on absentee voter applications an affirmation that the person is an Ohio elector,” Brunner spokesman Jeff Ortega said. “The forms at issue here selected by a certain campaign are confusing.”

Republicans printed the applications to help voters and said the box was not required.

Brunner hasn’t issued a directive to county boards instructing them what to do. She has, however, sent them a memorandum explaining her legal interpretation that ballots without the boxes checked be rejected. She also noted that the McCain

“We are concerned that a lot of people who want to vote absentee in Ohio are not going to be able to do so.”

Jack Danforth | Former U.S. Senator campaign designed the forms and chose to place the box on the application.

Last week, two Cincinnati voters also sued over the same question.

Former U.S. Sen. Jack Danforth, who is leading McCain’s Election Day legal strategy, said a close election could deny voters’ rights.

“We are concerned that the Secretary of State of Ohio is in effect disenfranchising many, many people who have turned in applications for absentee ballots,” Danforth said. “We’re concerned that a lot of people who want to vote absentee in Ohio are not going to be able to do so.”

Ohio, for the first time, has allowed voters to cast absentee ballots for the presidential election by mail or in person for any reason. Both McCain and Democratic rival Barack Obama have attempted to use the absentee ballot rule to bank thousands of votes ahead of Election Day in a state where polling suggests a tight race.

Dollar value falls, oil prices rise due to gov’t. bailout plan

By Stevenson Jacobs The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Oil prices briefly spiked more than $25 a barrel yesterday, shattering the record for the biggest one-day gain as unease about the government’s $700 billion bailout plan pummeled the dollar and spurred investors to buy safe-haven assets. An expiring crude contract added fuel to the frenzied rally.

Light, sweet crude for October delivery jumped as much as $25.45 to $130 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange before falling back to settle at $120.92, up $16.37.

The contract expired at the end of the day, adding to the volatility as traders rushed to cover positions; the October price began accelerating sharply in the last hour of regular trading, a common occurrence when a contract is about to go off the board.

Still, the rally, which shattered crude’s previous one-day price jump of $10.75, set June 6, showed the intensity of emotion in the market. The Nymex temporarily halted electronic crude oil trading after prices breached the $10 daily trading limit. Trading resumed seconds later after the daily limit was increased.

The November crude contract, which became the front-month contract at the end of yesterday’s session, settled at $109.37, up $6.62, still a very sharp gain.

Phil Flynn, analyst and oil trader with Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago, said the latesession surge in oil appeared to be the result of a large investment fund scrambling to cover

their short positions, or bets that prices would fall.

“When people sense that someone is short, it’s like blood on the streets. It just accelerates the rally,” Flynn said.

In other trading, gold prices shot up more than $44.30 to settle at $909 an ounce, and other safe-haven commodities also rallied, underscoring investors’ uncertainly about the direction of the economy and their fear of more turmoil ahead.

“We’re off to the races again,” said Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates in Galena, Ill. “There’s a renewed scramble for commodities because of a general weakness in the dollar.”

Crude has gained about $30 in a dramatic four-day rally that has at least temporarily halted oil’s steep two-month slide below $100. At this rate, crude is within striking distance of its all-time record of $147.27, reached in July.

The rally came as energy traders grappled with the implications of the government’s proposed initiative to stem the U.S. financial crisis by absorbing billions of dollars of banks’ bad mortgage-related securities.

Anxiety over the plan also sent stocks sharply lower yesterday; the credit markets were calmer than they were last week, but still showing the effects of investors’ nervousness.

Investors fear that the government will have to dramatically ramp up borrowing to pay for the mammoth rescue effort, an inflationary move that could further devalue the dollar and trigger another wave of safehaven buying in investments like commodities.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Nike said yesterday that it is leaving the elite swimwear market.

The company will continue to provide swimwear for colleges and sell to traditional retail customers. But it will not compete against the likes of Speedo to get the swoosh on the world’s top swimmers.

“We will not invest in nextgeneration swim innovation, which is not in line with our stated category growth strategy,” the company said in a statement.

Nike said it made a “strategic decision as part of the company’s long-term growth plan.”

The Beaverton, Ore.-based company had announced several years ago that it would focus on six key categories to reach a $23 billion revenue goal by 2011.

Those categories are running, soccer, basketball, men’s training and women’s training and sportswear.

CNBC reported this weekend that Nike may be halting its swimsuit development after a showdown at the Beijing summer Olympics. Nike lost some of its edge at the games when Speedo stole the spotlight with its LZR Racer suit.

According to Speedo, of the 77 world records set since the release of the suit in February, 72 have been in the LZR Racer.

And it was worn by Olympics darling Michael Phelps.

Other swimmers clamored to get the suit at the games. Nike even allowed some of its athletes to wear the LZR Racer, an unprecedented move by the world’s largest athletic shoe and apparel company.

ButNikedeniedthatMonday’s decision was a direct result of Speedo’s success, saying it was a “direct result of our long-term growth strategy focusing on the areas where we can have the largest growth.”

Research organization The SportsOneSource Group said Nike is a distant third in the $200

million performance swimwear marketplace — which encompasses consumer swim goods for exercise rather than leisure.

Speedo holds roughly 60 percent of the market share, up from 54 percent last year. TYR comes in second at 20 percent and Nike is third at 13 percent, lower than its 18 percent share last year.

Speedo said Nike’s move would not have much impact on its own business, such as the launch of the Racer to general consumers in October.

“We’ve been in the swimwear business for 80 years,” said Stu Isaac, senior vice president of team sales and sports marketing for Speedo. “We are going to keep doing what we’ve been doing.

But Evan Morgenstein, an agent who represents a number of top swimmers, said Nike’s decision is a blow to elite athletes who depend heavily on apparel companies for their funding — especially in nonOlympic years.

Suffering economy All eyes on Ohio’s contributes to lower immigration numbers payday Numbers are down more than 1.8 million from previous year and well below the annual average

By Stephen Ohlemacher The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The wave of immigrants entering the United States slowed dramatically last year as the economy faltered and the government stepped up enforcement of immigration laws.

The nation added about a half million immigrants in 2007, down from more than 1.8 million the year before, according to estimates being released today by the Census Bureau.

“The U.S. is still a beacon for many people who want to come here for all kinds of reasons,” said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution who analyzed the numbers. “But what this shows is that the economy plays a big part in it.”

The U.S. has added an average of about a million immigrants a year since 1990, including those in the country legally and illegally.

At more than 38 million, the number of immigrants in the U.S. is now at an all-time high.

Immigrants made up 12.6 percent of the population in 2007, the largest share since 1920, when the U.S. was nearing the end of its last immigration boom, one that brought millions of people from Europe to the United States.

That wave of immigrants endedwiththeGreatDepression and the onset of World War II. The immigration figures released today were from the 2007 American Community Survey, the government’s annu-

al survey of about 3 million households. The survey, which is replacing the long form from the 10-year census, yields reams of demographic, social and economic data about the nation.

Because the estimates come from a survey, each includes a margin of sampling error that makes year-to-year comparisons inexact. Annual immigration changes for many states and cities were within the margins of error, but the national trend was statistically significant: The nation’s immigration boom slowed substantially in 2007.

Fourteen states showed declines in the estimated number of immigrants from 2006 to 2007, including New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont and South Dakota. Several major cities also posted decreases, including Atlanta, Las Vegas and Oakland, Calif.

Other cities continued to show gains, including Phoenix, Boston and Denver.

“Immigrants have always come to the United States for jobs, but before they went to big immigration magnets to be with family or other immigrants,” Frey said. “Now the geography of where these people move is much more tied to the economy than ever before.”

Much of the nation experienced a housing boom in the first half of the decade, providing jobs that attracted immigrants.

The housing bubble burst last year, sending housing markets tumbling and contributing to a slumping economy that some economists believe is in recession.

lending

By Stephen Majors The Associated Press

COLUMBUS — Ohio has become the epicenter of a national debate on payday lending restrictions. The payday loan industry is trying to get issues on the November ballot in Ohio and Arizona that would overturn restrictions on the interest rates it can charge. Uriah King, a policy associate at the industrycritic Center for Responsible Lending, says Ohio’s size and status as a battleground state make it the center of attention for those watching the payday industry.

Fifteen states and the District of Columbia have passed laws restricting the industry, while four other states are watching Ohio to see what happens.

The industry is spending millions of dollars to gather signatures and run television ads to keep restrictions from taking effect.

Falcon football notes: Team begins preparation for Wyoming

By Chris Voloschuk Sports Editor

Injury updates Two weeks ago in the 20-7 loss to Boise State, the Falcon football team sustained several injuries to key players. Among them were receivers Anthony Turner and Freddie Barnes and middle linebacker Erique Dozier.

Along with those three injuries, kick returner Roger Williams and offensive tackle Jeff Fink were also hurt, albeit in previous games.

“Right now, hopefully we’re going to have everybody,” said head coach Gregg Brandon. “It’s still day-to-day with Barnes, Turner and Dozier. Those are the three. Fink rested all week and is ready to go. He’d have to get hit by

Brandon also said Williams is indeed playing with a club brace on his injured right hand and should be ready to go for Wyoming.

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State officials said injured receiver Dante Love will probably never play football again.

PLAYERS’ CHOICE: U.S. Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger (center) has got the vote of many of his golfers as far as being the captain again in 2010.

Azinger could be Ryder Cup captain again in 2010

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — No one spent more time in the PGA of America hospitality room last month at Oakland Hills than Corey Pavin, presumably to start lobbying to be the next U.S. captain for the Ryder Cup. The list of candidates has rarely been this short, nor has it been so obvious. “Zinger in 2010,� Phil Mickelson said after the Americans reclaimed possession of the Ryder Cup. Paul Azinger widened his eyes with what little strength he had left Sunday night when asked if he would consider devoting another two years as Captain America, this time with far more to lose than to gain. “Zinger in 2010,� Justin Leonard added.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the emotion of winning golf’s most passionate event, especially since it had been nine years since the Americans climbed to the balcony of a clubhouse for a champagne shower.

Captains sometimes get too much credit when they win, and even more blame when they lose.

But for all the spectacular shots over three days at Valhalla that carried the United States to a 16.511.5 victory, the “man of the match� might have been the one American who didn’t hit a single shot.

It was Azinger who persuaded the PGA of America to scrap its archaic system of picking a Ryder Cup team. For 60 years, points were awarded to only the top 10 performances on a PGA Tour that did not include players from Fiji to Australia, from South Africa to South Korea. Azinger wanted the

What was Holmes doing on the team as a captain’s pick?

Azinger wanted someone who hit it far enough to get Europe thinking about him. Holmes put on a clinic at the practice range, one time pointing to the stage at the back end of the range and hitting a drive that landed on the roof. “He hit it quite long,� Hansen said. “But ‘quite long’ is probably an understatement. He hit it really long.�

NOTES From Page 6

Earning four shutout victories in as many games, defense has been exceptional over the final stretch of non-conference play.

Richards credited goalkeepers Alexa Arsenault and Christy Zabek, who have shared time at the net, while also commending all fronts for their effort.

A little luck along the way has not hurt either—coming in the form of shots deflecting off the crossbars and being cleared out by the defense.

With MAC play beginning Friday, Richards feels confident that his team is where they need to be. “They’ve been playing well ‌ people are contributing from all over the place.â€? “The team has come a really long way,â€? he said in reference to progress made from the start of the season, which began roughly a month ago with a 3-1 loss to Cincinnati.

But despite the recent success the team has shared in, Richards has one thing on his mind. “It’s great to win non-conference games, but we know the season really starts this Friday.�

“He has really nice hands. He catches the ball extremely well,�

Brandon said. “He runs nice routes. He’s able to catch the ball in traffic and take some hits.

He’s faster than he looks — he can run in the open field — but he looks more like a stout guy that’ll whack you. He has good hands and he runs good routes.�

Running back MiQuale Lewis struggled to watch the play on tape. Love had caught a short pass and started to turn up field when Indiana cornerback Chris Adkins walloped him.

Love immediately dropped the ball in front of the Hoosiers bench and went down to the ground. After about 15 minutes, Love was strapped to a backboard and taken off the field on a golf cart, his parents running behind the cart.

SHIPWRECKED: Andrew Dewberry looks out from atop his children’s tree house in the front yard of his home. As his two young sons looked on, Dewberry and a crew of friends dismantled their pirate-ship-shaped tree house.

Treasured ship to benefit kids VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The front yard of a house in a British Columbia neighborhood is a little less welcoming for pirates now.

Architect Andrew Dewberry and a crew of friends spent Saturday dismantling the pirate ship tree house he’s had in his Vancouver yard for two years. He said he had no choice after a court ordered it to be removed for not complying

with city bylaws.

Dewberry had to explain the situation to his sons Jack, 9, and Sam, 7, before the tree house came down. He said, “They’ve had a lot of joy with the tree fort.”

Jack, who stood with a friend and watched the dismantling, said, “We wanted to sleep in it over the summer one time, but we didn’t get around to it and now we can’t.”

In July, the judge in the case admired the workmanship of the ship, complete with plastic cannons, in a perch 6? feet up a large, leafy tree in front of the family’s home. But the judge said its merits were irrelevant to whether the tree house violated city bylaws.

Dewberry said the tree house would be auctioned for the Boys and Girls Club of Vancouver.

The benefit is set for Oct. 16.

Bartending nude is deemed too crude DELHI, Ill. (AP) — Here’s a tip: Bartending nude can get you arrested.

Sheriff’s deputies doing a routine check this week at a southern Illinois bar say they discovered a not-soroutine sight. Authorities allege that 33-year-old Janet Brannon was naked while serving bar patrons at the Cabin Tavern in Delhi.

Brannon was arrested and charged with misdemeanor public indecency. She was freed on $8,000 bond.

She was the only bar employee working at the time, so the tavern was closed Thursday.

No telephone listing can be found for Brannon, and t he Jersey Count y sherif f ’s depa rtment doesn’t know whether she has an attorney.

CALLING ALL PIGS: Jolee Bacon, of Lapwai, does her best hog call at the Nez Perce County Fair in Lewiston, Idaho. Bacon won first place in the adult category.

Bacon gets pigs’ attention LEW ISTON, Ida ho — Jolee Bacon really sizzles when it comes to hogcalling.

The nor t hern Ida ho woman took first place Saturday in the competition at the Nez Perce County Fair.

She has raised several

champion pigs for 4-H contests. Bacon says she calls pigs every morning and night with her 9-yearold daughter, Jacey.

Bacon won the crown over as she started her hog call with a few loud snorts and a long, drawnout “sooey.”

Pa. diner is up for grabs HUNTINGDON, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Grubb cares so deeply about the future of his former diner that he is offering to give away the 1950s-style restaurant for free.

He has only one stipulation: The new owner must move it and reopen it.

“These types of diners are really making a comeback, and I’m surprised no one locally wants it,” Grubb said. “It’s an excellent piece, and you can’t get them much cheaper.”

Locals called it the end of an era when Grubb’s Diner shut its doors last year to make way for a pharmacy.

Grubb, the manager and cook for 52 years, decided it was time to hang up his spatula, but he didn’t have the heart to demolish the restaurant.

Instead, he dismantled it and paid a moving company to haul the 68-foot-long sil-

ver diner a mile up the road from its original location in the central Pennsylvania town of Huntingdon. It now sits on two flatbed trailers, empty except for the original light fixtures, booths and bar.

The diner was recently appraised for $100,000, but Grubb said he is willing to negotiate a lower price or donate it to the right person.

Grubb bought the diner in 1964 from the Swingle Diner Co. in Middlesex, N.J. In an ideal world, someone would reopen it in Huntingdon and bring back the 15-cent pie slice, said Barb Blair, a longtime Grubb family employee.

“People came here from all over,” she said. “Jerry’s mother would make the pies, and people f locked here because they were that good.”
