and Cartwright consented she will not be the president entering University president the 2011-12 academic school year. Speculation arose on campus to retire in 2011 that the board could have extended Cartwright’s contract, but any thoughts of Cartwright going beyond 2011 were squashed.

University President Carol Cartwright reaffirmed on Friday her plans to follow through with a retirement date of June 30, 2011. Cartwright will not renew a two-year contract signed in January 2009, ending her tenure as 11th president — as well as the first female president — in the University’s 100-year history. Bob Sebo, chairman of the

said, “I’m not going to comment on that.” Ryan did say Cartwright provided great leadership and enthusiasm to the University. Cartwright said her resignation is noncontroversial. “It’s not an issue because I’ve indicated I would like to retire again,” she said. Cartwright came out of retirement after serving as Kent State University’s president from 1991-2006. She served as the interim

Pay more for food, less for rooms University Board of Trustees announces rate changes

The University Board of Trustees approved an average increase of 2 percent in meal plan rates, along with an overall 1.16 percent decrease in room and board expenses starting in 2011. Each meal plan rate, except for BG-on-the-Go, will see an increase. Sheri Stoll, chief financial officer, said the United States Department of Agriculture is estimating a 3 to 4 percent increase in the cost of retail food. Bloomberg, a financial news organization, anticipates an increase of 1.5 to 2.5 percent. “So that is why we felt that if we stayed on the low end of that, that would be a reasonable increase for us for this coming year,” Stoll said. President Carol Cartwright said the University is aware of the concerns about the overall affordability and cost of higher education. But increases in food costs affect everyone, including the University. “We are clearly living in the world that everyone else lives in terms of what is happening, for example, with food prices,” she said. Stoll said the current economical situation was accounted for when deciding on the increases. “I know an increase is still an increase, but I think we tried very hard to keep it as low as we could,” she said. Room rates will also see a change in 2011, but it will be in some students’ favor. “While we are increasing our standard double room, our average room rate change is actually a decrease of 1.16 percent,” Stoll said. She said the rates were adjusted by looking at current room rates relative to each other, to the new halls, to the external rental environment in the community, as well as occupancy levels in the community. After the new rates, doubles in Offenhauer Towers and Founders Residence Hall will stay the same. Singles in both residence halls will decrease by $150, or 4.69 percent. The Founders Super Single will decrease by $300,

BRIEF

Lots on Thurstin Avenue will be closed for construction Commuters and faculty who park in Lots 3, 7 and J on Thurstin Avenue will need to park elsewhere because of construction. The $1 million project to move these lot spaces behind Lot 12 near Poe Road is making way for a new McDonald Dining Center, as well as a new residence hall across from Offenhauer. “As the work progresses on the residence hall and the dining hall, we will be losing some parking in the affected areas,” said Sheri Stoll, chief financial officer. Stoll said this new lot behind

Lot 12 will accommodate 500 additional parking spots and will initially be gravel. Paving, lighting, draining, security cameras and emergency phones will not be added until after spring semester. “We are also going to add some length to Willard Drive to connect Merry Street with Poe Road,” she said, which will allow users to enter the lot from Poe Road. The distribution of the new lots amongst commuters, faculty and metered spots will be determined by Parking Services at a later date, according to information presented to the Board of Trustees financial committee. The shuttle service will accommodate the new lot.

Local school kicks in money for Mini Dance Marathon Students raise money for children with special needs By Shaina Smith Reporter

Local high school students raised money and spirits for the Children’s Miracle Network with Mini Dance Marathon. Mini Dance Marathon Chair Lauren Wolk said Dance Marathon invites high school students every year to come in and raise money by standing on their feet for six hours. Each of the participating students was asked to raise $65, but Wolk did not know how much money was raised. Miracle parents Cathy Dibling

and Serena Swiecicki came out to support the high school students raising money for children with special conditions and needs. Serena Swiecicki and her 18year-old daughter Natalie have been participating in both Dance Marathon and Mini Dance Marathon for the past 10 or 11 years. Natalie has been in and out of the hospital since she was six for Common Variable Immune Deficiency. “It’s not fun to sit up in the hospital for hours every month,

This school year, the Union Starbucks has sold 300 more reusable cups than last year, possibly because people are trying to save money by changing the little things. Starbucks has sold 1,998 reusable cups since the beginning of the year and last year they sold 1,628 cups, said Daria BlachowskiDreyer, associate director for dining services. However, sales are dependent on the variety and the overall attractiveness of the product and the power of the brand, Dreyer said. “The desire to be green could play into these numbers somewhat, but there is no concrete evidence indicating that it is the sole motivator,” she said. In these times, saving money is a necessity. “It’s all about saving money,” said senior Josh Matuska. A frequent coffee drinker, Matuska prefers Columbian blends

“She will return to well-earned retirement.” — Bob Sebo, chairman of the Board of Trustees, on University President Carol Cartwright’s 2011 contract expiration [see story, pg. 1].

PEOPLE ON THE STREET

Who should replace Carol Cartwright as the next University president?

KATI WARE, Freshman, Middle Childhood Education

“Chuck Norris.”

“Corey Norris.”

“Sarah Palin.”

“Me.”

The word “union” raises strong feelings among faculty and administrators at the University. We would like to explain why we support collective bargaining and why we believe it would be a good thing for the University, not just for the faculty. First, we confess to holding a belief that democracy is a good thing. While there is evidence that more democratically-run organizations are also more effective, we support democracy regardless. Collective bargaining creates more democracy in the workplace. Faculty elect their representatives, and at least on some issues, the central administration would be obligated to take faculty ideas into account. It always puzzles us that those opposing unions seem to prefer a more dictatorial model of decision making. It’s essential that faculty members have a greater voice in University affairs, because faculty are here for the long haul. Top-level administrators come and go; they have a short-term incentive to build their resume and move on to the next job. Sometimes administrators do a great job, other times not. In our 20 years at the University, we have worked under three presidents, five

provosts and countless deans. Faculty who make their careers here typically stay 30, 35 or more years. The faculty have institutional memory and a huge incentive to protect the long run interests of the University. While the current administrators may be doing a good job, the next group (coming soon!) may not. They will need to take faculty input seriously if they are to do a good job, and that won’t happen unless faculty have collective bargaining. In our experience at the University, shared governance is broken. A key reason is that at the end of the day, faculty know they have no power. On important issues, their advice is not sought out; if offered, it is routinely ignored by presidents and the board of trustees. To cite an obvious case: despite years of Faculty Senate recommendations for salary increases, for 12 years faculty pay has ranked 12th among 13 public universities in Ohio, while the University currently charges the 3rd highest in tuition and fees. Despite claims they are ‘a priority,’ faculty salaries consistently get the “if there is anything left after everything else is taken care of,” and “oh, sorry, nothing left this year, maybe next year” budget treatment. This sense of being ignored and absence of power causes many good faculty members

who care about BGSU to refuse to serve on bodies like Faculty Senate, and this weakens the institution as a whole. It promotes a culture where professors see themselves as independent consultants. They work on their research and their teaching and that’s it. If they want a pay raise, they go and get a job offer from another university. Collective bargaining changes faculty incentives, and it would change the culture at the University in positive ways. When faculty have real power, there will be greater incentive for all faculty to participate in service. We’ll need to get to know each other better to make sure we elect outstanding representatives. We’ll need to work together, both to hold them accountable and provide input that matters. We’ll need to ensure faculty excellence, because when one faculty member is not doing their share, it reflects badly on all of us. This won’t be a union that tolerates incompetence. By making us more democratic and giving us a real voice in governance, collective bargaining makes faculty members more professional. And as professionals, we’ll need to find solutions to problems that face the University — no more sitting back and blaming everything on the administration. It will be our responsibility too. With our years of experience, faculty can provide input vital for

Each transgression of what is, in essence, common sense requires resources to detect, apprehend, report and process the transgressor. These resources, which by definition are scarce and costly, are thus diverted from being used to enhance our community and bring us one step closer to success. Those who are not acting as good “ingredients” in making the community “loaf” detract from its quality. Whether it be Tiger Woods, the post-award celebration of the Canadian Women’s Olympic Hockey Team, Bernard Madoff, or the person busted for substance abuse last weekend, all have besmirched their respective communities as well as contributed in some way to the lowering of society at large.

building a university that is academically successful. We’ve seen what has failed in the past and will keep our administrative team from going down those paths. We’ll look for win-win solutions. A good example is Kent State’s recent “shared success” agreement where faculty received a $2,500 bonus tied to improved freshmen retention and external research support. We’re certainly not claiming collective bargaining is a panacea; it will only be as good as we make it. We think the advantages will far outweigh the disadvantages. The only other alternative being offered is the status quo: flat salaries, increased health care costs, “end-around” policies and curious spending priorities. By empowering faculty on important issues, collective bargaining will create solutions that serve the long-run interests of the University better than the current top-down model. Whatever your opinion on collective bargaining, the University is a great place for open, civil debate, and we can do ourselves and our students a great service by engaging in this discussion.

absolutely vital to our continued success as individuals, a university, a nation and the human race in general. But (and there’s that awful word) individualism or freedom run rampant is as bad as individualism suppressed. Our many individual talents and skills need to be used not only to develop and express ourselves; they also need to be employed in the service of others — our community — to aid in the improvement of the “loaf.” The communities we belong to and who give us support have an ethical “mortgage” on our talents and actions, as well as on our possessions. It’s that careful balancing of free will, tempered with intelligence and what the military calls “situational awareness,” that produces success. A cup of warm water and a quantity of yeast and flour will not, by themselves, produce a loaf of bread — nor will the kneading of Silly Putty or mud. It takes the willing (use of free will) use of talents, applied to a plan (produced through intelligence) that results in a good outcome, whether that be a great loaf of bread, a successful university, a rational health care system, or Wooster Street free from drunken students retching on a Saturday night.

The Enlighten Project is a group that started from the passion of several University students and faculty. We are attempting to educate the campus as a whole as to how much of our daily lives are devoted to consuming and disposing. We believe wise purchases on every level will help sustain our environment, as well as potentially reverse some of the ill effects already taking place. Everything Enlighten does starts with the people and their responsiveness. If we can change the minds of a few, it won’t be long before the ripple effect takes place, making individual greener consumption habits a global practice. Throughout the course of the semester, Enlighten will

facilitate several installations, the first of which begins today. We are encouraging every student and faculty member to participate in gauging and documenting their consumption for one week. The average American produces 4.5 pounds of trash per day. If every University student throws away this amount, we create nearly 79,000 pounds of garbage every day. In order to gain a better visual of how much we consume, Enlighten will be carrying around 100 percent biodegradable trash bags filled with anything we would normally dispose of. We are asking you to do the same. For one full business week, participants are asked to carry these bags with them throughout their day, disposing of all waste produced in their bag. At the end of the week,w we encourage participants to weigh the trash bag and take a photograph of you and your bag. That photo can be uploaded to Enlighten’s Facebook group entitled the Enlighten Project. For more information on this installation and those to come, check our blog at enlighten-project.tumblr.com/ or e-mail Kevin Pence at kevinp@bgsu.edu.

Flash flood BG overwhelms Kent to win sixth straight division title By Sean Shapiro Sports Editor

Petruska delivers shootout win again By Ryan Satkowiak Reporter

BG hockey is peaking at the right time. Following their series split with Michigan State over the weekend, including a thrilling shootout win on senior night, the Falcons have won three of their last four games. “The end of the season is extremely important because

you want to be at your peak heading to the playoffs,” said senior Tomas Petruska, who netted the winner in the third round of the shootout Saturday. With all of the hype surrounding Saturday’s game, the Falcons still had to play a game Friday at Michigan

For the sixth straight season, the BG women’s basketball team are division champs. The streak started in the 200405 season when they won the Mid-American Conference West division en route to a NCAA tournament berth and ever since moving to the East division the Falcons haven’t been knocked off their throne within the division since. Saturday the Falcons clinched their most recent division title with a 69-55 senior day win against Kent State. “I’m really proud of the kids for hanging tough,” BG coach Curt Miller said. “Both teams played hard, played physical, and I think we just made more plays then they did.” Senior Tamika Nurse led the way for BG, scoring a career high 24 points and earning her first division title on the court after sitting out last season due

to NCAA transfer rules. “It’s amazing, because I’ve never really won anything,” Nurse said. “I transferred here because I wanted to win championships, and today I felt what it really means to be a Falcon basketball player.” While Nurse is in her first season with BG, Sarah Clapper, Laura Bugher and Tara Breske won their 109th career game, earning the distinction of the second top winning players in MAC history. Former BG forward Lyndsey Goldsberry is first with 116 career wins. The Falcons took control of the game with a 15-0 run early in the first half, turning a 1212 tie into a 27-12 lead. From that point on, BG’s lead never dropped below double-digits. A strong defensive effort led the way for the Falcons as they held Kent State to a dismal 35.6 shooting percentage and only

BG swimmers finish seventh at MAC Championships “It is apparent that hard work pays off and that if we continue what we are doing, good things will come in the next couple of years.”

Several Falcon swimmers had strong showings at the Mid-American Conference Championships, which concluded Saturday evening in Oxford, Ohio. The team finished in seventh place with 241 points. Senior captain Meg Richardson swam the last events of her career in stunning fashion as she broke three individual school records and contributed to a new school record in the 800yard freestyle relay. Richardson now shares part of all five BG relay records. She was named Second Team MAC. Richardson felt the team’s hard work and close bond propelled many of her teammates to a strong finish this season. “We all came together and we were really behind each other the whole year,” Richardson said. “We really focused this

Freshman swimmer Emily Waller posted her season-best time of 17:22:05 and took 16th place in the 1650-yard freestyle. Sophomore Megan Bomicino also recorded her season-best time in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 17:27:82. Bomicino was pleased with

how hard her teammates fought. “Our team was tough and fought every race until the time they touched the wall,” Bomicino said. “We all had so much fun and swam well. It was a great way to end a wonderful season.” Assistant coach Mark Howard thought the team made a strong push toward being a dominant force in the MAC in the near future. “The younger swimmers are without a doubt the future of this program heading in a win-

The Falcons recorded six points in 17 events this weekend at the 2010 MidAmerican Conference Indoor Championships. Kent State was the event champion with 107 points.

Men’s basketball falters in Senior Day loss Otis Polk

Any hope the BG men’s basketball team had of hosting a first round home game in the Mid-American Conference Tournament were put to rest on Saturday as the Falcons lost to visiting Akron, 74-68, on Senior Day. The loss dropped the Falcons to 14-14 overall and 6-9 in the MAC, putting them in a position to close out the regular season as the No. 9 or No. 10 seed with one game remaining — forcing BG to be on the road for the first round of the MAC Tournament on Sunday at either Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Miami or Western Michigan.

What a successful two weeks it was for the United States’ Olympic Team. But for every Shaun White setting records, inventing tricks, and winning medals, there was the U.S. women’s hockey team, untouchable World Champions as they made their way to the games, defeated by a Canadian team with the hopes of a nation on their shoulders. For some athletes, the Olympic experience is the only medal they get to bring home. Simply being Olympians and competing on the world’s stage was their moment of glory. For Johnny Weir, Vancouver was his last chance in a lifetime of Olympic disappointments. Once again his script remained unchanged and his golden moment didn’t happen. Apolo Ohno also came to the games to say goodbye after already seeing the other side. After Torino, with his perpetual publicity, he thought he could never make it back to the short-track, but he needed to. Sometimes dreams do come true, but as badly as he wanted a gold medal, this was not the happy ending he had expected. His Olympics ended with record-breaking medals of a different kind. Lindsey Jacobellis came to Vancouver for snowboard cross redemption and Lindsey Vonn came to take multiple golds, and neither truly met their goal and have set their eyes on Sochi 2014. There’s one place we could delude ourselves in believing happy endings are deserved, and it’s the fairy tale world of ice dancing.

Falcons win streak ends at five in Kalamazoo By C.J. Watson Reporter

The BG gymnastics fivemeet win streak came to an end in Kalamazoo on Sunday afternoon. The Falcons finished third in a tri-meet featuring MidAmerican Conference foe Western Michigan and the University of Illinois-Chicago. Western Michigan won the home meet with a score of 193.925. The Flames of IllinoisChicago took second place with 191.150 points, and BG finished in third with a score of 190.675. The Falcons started out the meet slow on the beam and floor but ended strongly on the vault and uneven parallel bars. The beam and the floor event were the low points of the day for BG. Megan Chronister was the only Falcon to finish within the top five for the balance beam. Danielle Wishart’s 9.725 was tied for seventh best on the floor exercise and was BG’s highest score in the event. The floor was marred by a season ending injury suffered

by Queenita Gamble as she took a spill, rupturing her Achilles tendon. The vault was the Falcons highest scoring event of the afternoon. Freshmen Danielle Wishart and Sunny Marchand finished first and second in the event scoring 9.800 and 9.725, respectively. “Sunny Marchand did a great job on vault and bars,� explained coach Kerrie Beach. “She was very consistent for us.� Monica Eaton put in her dues on the bars as she tied for first with a solid 9.850 — her highest scoring total of the season. Also, Breanne Guy did especially well in the event scoring a 9.800, giving her a tie for third place. “While it certainly wasn’t a perfect meet, it does show their character that they didn’t give up and they kept moving along,� said Beach. The Falcons will try to regroup and get back to their winning ways this week as the team prepares to travel to Morgantown for a Saturday afternoon matchup with the Mountaineers of West Virginia.

State, their senior night, and BG came out flat, giving up three goals in the first period in an eventual 5-2 loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very disappointed with our team effort. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we came out with a lot of jump,â&#x20AC;? said interim head coach Dennis Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out hard in the second, but to spot a team like Michigan three goals, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be hard to come back from.â&#x20AC;? Nick Eno got the start for the Falcons and was pulled 18 minutes into the game after giving up three goals on 13 shots. The Falcons got on the board 2:58 into the second period, on Josh Boydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth goal of the year. However, BG could not tally another in the period, and the Spartans were able to get two more against Andrew Hammond, who came in for Eno. In the third, Marc Rodriguez got his third goal of the year, deflecting Reed Rushingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point shot past Spartan goalie Drew Palmisano. Saturday was a much better day for the Falcons, as they were able to pull a shootout win on senior night, in front of a crowd of 3,027, the largest at the BGSU Ice Arena this year. Prior to the game, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight seniors were honored, as was former Falcon and 1980 United States Olympian Ken Morrow, who dropped the ceremonial first puck. The Spartans struck first again, as Andrew Rowe deflected a point shot past Hammond eight minutes into the game. Kyle Page nearly tied the game with two minutes remaining in the first, but his shot rang off the right post. BG tied the game 3:42 into the second period, as David Solway beat Palmisano from the slot on the power play. The goal started an upswing in momentum for the Falcons, as they out shot Michigan 16-10 in the period, despite getting only one goal. BG took the lead early in the third period, when Jordan Samuels-Thomas received a pass to the left of Palmisano, decked him as he made an aggressive play for the puck, and tapped it

into the empty net. The score remained steady until five minutes left in the game, when Hammond made a save on a point shot, lost the puck in a crowd of bodies in front of the net and Spartan forward Chris Forfar knocked it in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was right against my pad, and their guy was right on top of me so I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really freeze it,â&#x20AC;? Hammond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then he kind of kicked it to the other guy, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really move.â&#x20AC;? Despite the goal, Hammond played well in the game, stopping 34 of 36 shots, and he was at his best down the stretch, making several great saves in the last five minutes of the third and in overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that Andrew held his own for five periods of hockey this weekend,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kid that, if you just focus on him and not the score, you would never know what the score is because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always so calm in net; I thought he did a very nice job and was the reason we were able to stay in the game.â&#x20AC;? For the second time in their last two series, the Falcons headed to a shootout. David Solway appeared to give the Falcons a 1-0 after the first round, but the goal was disallowed, as the referee determined that Solway had stopped forward motion on his shot attempt. Hammond did not have to hold strong in the last two rounds, as both Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shooters missed the net. After a James Perkin miss, Petruska beat Palmisano five-hold to seal the win on senior night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special [to win for the seniors],â&#x20AC;? Hammond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here for four years, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through the ups and downs of the program, and to get that for them on their last night, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can tell in the room right now, it means a lot to them and it should.â&#x20AC;? After both teams had left the ice, the seniors came back out for one final salute to the home fans. As the 11th seed in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs, the Falcons will head to Nebraska next weekend for a bestof-three series with sixth seed Nebraska-Omaha.

LOSS From Page 5 After a dunk from senior Otis Polk put BG up 12-7 under five minutes into the game, Akron built a 15-2 run over the next seven minutes to take a 22-14 lead, a lead in which the Zips would never relinquish as they led by 13 at the break. Rebounding cost the Falcons in the first half, as Akron held a 22-9 advantage on the glass, including 12 offensive boards to outscore BG 17-4 on second chance points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t defend and rebound in the first half,â&#x20AC;? senior Erik Marschall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew it was going to be a war on the defensive rebounds. In the first half they beat us and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of the ballgame.â&#x20AC;? Much like in the loss to the Golden Flashes, BG made a strong bid in the second half as they turned a 13-point halftime deficit into a five-point deficit with 7:50 left in the game. With 0:48 remaining in the game BG trailed by only four, but the Falcons were forced to foul and Akron sealed the game by going 4-for-4 at the

Early Week Special (Mon - Wed)

free-throw line down the stretch. The Falcons shot 56 percent in the second half while limiting the Zips to three offensive rebounds and one second chance point, but Brett McKnightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 of his teamhigh 15 points in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final 20 minutes paid dividends for Akron in getting the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a battle on our hands [and] I thought Bowling Green competed really hard,â&#x20AC;? Akron coach Keith Dambrot said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought Brett did a really good job at crunch time of really carrying us.â&#x20AC;? McKnight led the Zips with 15 points on 6-of-10 from the floor and Jimmy Conyers followed with 12. For the Falcons, four different players scored in double figures including Polk, who scored 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting in the second half to finish with a gamehigh 17 points. Also leading the way for BG was Scott Thomas, Marschall and Dee Brown, who finished with 16, 10 and 12 points, respectively. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game marked the last regular season home game in the careers of seniors Matt Karaffa, Marc Larson, Marschall and Polk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tip my hat to our seniors,â&#x20AC;? BG coach Louis Orr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been with me for three years. They helped us win a MAC Championship and they helped us do some good things during those three years.â&#x20AC;? The Falcons will now have the next few days off before closing out the regular season at Ohio on Thursday.
