Students hope to raise funds for AIDS research through talent acts By Christie Kerner Reporter
Students can help raise money for a cause by singing and dancing to Broadway numbers from “Jesus Christ Superstar” to “Hair”. Let the Sun Shine is a group of students who hope to raise money for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights Aids. Seniors Laura Winebarger and Ryan Sparks have had personal connections to the disease. “My uncle died of AIDS,” public relations chair Winebarger said. “I never met him so it’s really personal.” Sparks also lost a family member to AIDS in his sophomore year of college and has since decided to work on spreading awareness of the problem. “I think it’s a really big problem that needs help,” Sparks said. The 2nd annual event will take place tonight at 7 in St. Mark’s Lutheran Church on South College Drive. A silent auction featuring Broadway memorabilia, autographed posters and local gift cards will start the night. At 8 p.m. vocally talented students will be featured singing and dancing for a cause they hope will touch those who attend. “I just want it to be something that affects people,” senior and co-director Cassie Gress said. “I know a lot of people who are personally affected so in turn it has affected me.” There is no admission fee to the event but attendees are encouraged to make a donation. All proceeds go to Broadway Cares. The national nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-raising organization based in New York City has raised over $175 million for people in the United States with AIDS. “I want to spread awareness and help them feel a part of something bigger then themselves,” Public Relations Chair Winebarger said.

Burton Beerman decided at eight years old he wanted to write music. He has since attained national and international recognition in the world of music composition and performance. On Feb. 16, 2010 the members of the Distinguished Research and Artist Professor Review Committee recognized Burton Beerman as a superior and voted him to be a Distinguished Professor.
Beerman grew up in Atlanta, Ga. where his mother was a successful pianist and composer. Beerman remembers asking his mother to teach him how to write music at a young age. “She sent me to the downtown library to get a book on writing music,” Beerman said. He remembers all the note heads being backwards in his first piece of music. Six months later Beerman started work-

This June, Jerome Library will lose one of its most energetic and resourceful librarians. After working as a subject librarian for 20 years, Mary Wrighten will retire. In 1988, while Mary Wrighten was attending Wayne State University, she participated in a librarian internship at Jerome Library. After two years of interning she was hired as the diversity
and multicultural librarian. Wrighten has been dedicated to the library and the students of the University ever since. “When I started it was hard to connect with the undergrad students,” Wrighten said. “Through the years I have been able to connect with students of multiple backgrounds.” Wrighten’s mission for the library related to her job and responsibilities. She worked hard to build a multicultural section of the library. She also wanted to promote diversity
awareness and work as a subject librarian for international, women and ethic studies. “It has been very gratifying to connect with students of other cultures and make them feel welcome,” Wrighten said. Wrighten was a member of DryDock, a student group that provided non-alcoholic social events to help with getting students to socialize. She also served as an adviser for the

He even recalls a distant memory of seeing a young Martin Luther King Jr. “I remember King’s face and how he had no sense of hate,� Beerman said. “I always look back at that face.� Beerman would participate in sit-ins, and though he was never arrested, as he described, he would be beat bloody. After experiencing the hatred found in the civil rights movement he continued to believe he had no choice but to become a composer and often focused his writings on political and social issues. Beerman majored in music at the University of Miami and Florida State. He attended graduate school at the University
of Michigan and was hired at Bowling Green State University in 1970. “I was brought here to establish an electric music and recording studio,� Beerman said. “I’ve been here ever since then.� Beerman has taught nearly every course offered in the College of Musical Arts and has founded several groups and events. These include cofounding in 1971 the New Music Ensemble, the Electronic Music and Recording Studios and in 1979 the New Music Festival which features new musical works by living composers and College of Musical Arts faculty and students. “It will be its 31st year,� Beerman said. “It has people coming from all over the world to Bowling Green every fall.� His wife Celesta Haraszti, a native of Hungary and a dancer has been standing beside her husband since high school.

American tax system is not such a heavy burden for most citizens MATTHEW STEWART COLUMNIST For some time now, all across the country, community gatherings referring to themselves as “Tea Parties” have gotten together to protest the political inefficiency in Washington. These groups have taken the Tea Party name as a clever reference to the 18th century Bostonians who protested what they believed was taxation without representation by pouring tea into the Boston Harbor. For those involved in modern Tea Parties, and indeed, many who would declare such protests as great acts of civic awareness, what I am about to say may shock you: It turns out our current level of taxation is pretty much exactly on pace with our current level of representation. There is, for whatever reason, a prevailing notion lately that the tax rates in the United States have become so burdensome as to cripple many citizens’ ability to maintain a respectable livelihood. Some have gone so far as to throw out the phrase “socialist” at the top levels of the government. It would surely surprise many to find, then, that the top marginal tax rate (taxation of the richest Americans) and the median-
income tax rates (taxation more toward the average American) are both at historically low levels. According to the Tax Policy Center, Americans both rich and poor are being taxed at a lower rate today than at any time since Herbert Hoover. In fact, the champion of the current desire for small government, Ronald Reagan, had higher tax rates than George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and yes, even Barack Obama. According to the Tax Policy Center, the top marginal tax rate in 1984, dead in the center of Reagan’s presidency, was 50 percent, and it is about 37 percent today. The median-income tax rate was roughly 10 percent in 1984, and is about 7 percent today. The prevailing argument against taxation comes from the supposed benefits of privatization. The belief here is that when money is put into the hands of private organizations, they tend to be able to deliver higher quality services. This is, in many instances, simply not the case. Here’s an open challenge: Write me two letters. Take one down to the post office in an envelope and take one to UPS or Fed Ex. See who charges you more to send a letter, see if one gets here any faster than the other — you’d be surprised. Certainly, the burden of taxation is nothing to make light of, and our economic system has
left many Americans in debt with very little means of self-recovery. Taxation at the state and local level is also of concern, as communities struggle with maintaining decaying infrastructure and fragile job forces. However, any remedy is best applied by first accurately understanding the root of the ailment. A recent article on the US economy in Time Magazine summed it up well. To paraphrase, the article stated Americans are more likely now than in any other time in history to demand public services while feeling no obligation to pay for them. It is time we come together as a nation and invest in ourselves. Investment, of course, requires money. The solution is relatively simple, as it is simply based in the things we demand of our representatives. It would be political suicide in an election today to support tax hikes, but, at least at the Federal level, they may very well be necessary. No one likes the idea of losing more of a paycheck to tax payment for something they may never see benefits from. But the next time we send a letter, have a drink of water from a tap, take a walk in a public park or walk the streets safely, we should remember all the good things taxes can do, not just the bad.

LETTERSTO THE EDITOR All parts of faculty are equal in bargaining process The Bowling Green State University Faculty Association would like to update the campus community on some recent events surrounding our efforts to achieve collective bargaining rights for University faculty. The central administration’s outside lawyers sent the FA notice that they plan to challenge our definition of the potential bargaining unit. We believe that all University faculty are equals: assistant professors, full professors, associate professors, instructors and lecturers. We have defined the bargaining unit to reflect this equality because all of us do the hard work that has won the University such high praise for the quality of our programs. In addition, this action by the central administration will delay the election through unnecessary legal wrangling. The FA believes that all full-time faculty members should have the right to a vote on collective bargaining in a timely manner. The administration
disagrees and has indicated they will fight for this delay all the way through the State Employment Relations Board. The FA expresses its deep disappointment with this decision by the central administration and their lawyers, which attempts to defeat collective bargaining through delay and division. The FA will not accept these tactics and we will continue to strive to represent a unified faculty and to get an election in a timely manner. During our press conference announcing that a majority of all ranks of University faculty had signed cards indicating support for an election on collective bargaining, we asked hypothetically: what good can come from delaying the wishes of a majority of faculty for a state-run secret ballot election? Unfortunately, we are forced to repeat the question, with an added concern — what good does dividing our faculty serve?
Closing of parking lots needs to be addressed
On Tuesday, March 16 at approximately 5 p.m. I went to park in lot 16, but as I went to turn into the parking lot there were barricades constructed at the entrances marked “do not enter.” I was instructed to park out past the first stop sign in lot 12. I called the parking and traffic office to double check this information and they had no idea that the parking lots were closed off. This is quite ironic to me that PARKING AND TRAFFIC was not aware of a parking lot being closed! The same story again on March 17, but this time lot 12 was blocked off as well. So yet again I called the parking office to get some instructions on where I could park, and yet again the worker was clueless to the lots being closed. Her best answer was, “Take advantage of the nice day out, it won’t kill you to walk.” This is the best advice that the President David J. Jackson, PARKING AND TRAFFIC OFFICE Bowling Green State Faculty could give me! University Faculty Association This is a problem that needs immediate attention. This troubles me because at no time

End of days conspiracies must end
See PARKING | Page 7
BRYAN WARRICK COLUMNIST
This past week I saw the movie “2012.” Not a bad flick, but it seemed a little far-fetched. When I got home afterward, I saw previews on TV for “Book of Eli” and “The Road,” two more movies about the end of the world. After that I saw a marathon of end of the world shows on History Channel, Discovery Channel and Nat Geo. There seems to be a pattern. Now, I think stories like this make for a fun movie and can have a message for people to follow, but there seems to be a cultural obsession with Armageddon nowadays that is bordering on the creepy. Part of this new trend, no doubt, is the quickly approaching year of 2012. For people who don’t know the stories, the legend goes there are several different ancient cultures around the world, from the Maya to the Chinese, who say something big is going to happen December 21, 2012. Rumor has it this big event is the end of time, which means we’re
going to miss Christmas that year. Bummer. While I doubt most people believe in this conspiracy theory, this endless parade of movies, shows and documentaries about the end times makes me think some people are taking this thing seriously. Can people really be that paranoid? Can they have so little faith in humanity and our ability to fix things they are already preparing for the end? For those who think 2012 is the end coming ever closer, they just need to look at the past. It is not the first year to be called the last year we the human race will see. In the 1830s, the Millerites, a religious group that would eventually become the Church of Latter Day Saints, predicted the world would end in 1843. When the day came and went, they changed their minds and said it would in 1844. Once again, nothing happened and, having learned their lesson, they never again tried to predict when the last day would be. And, of course, we all remember the last few months leading up to the year 2000. People thought Jesus would return, or the Y2K bug would wipe out computers and lead to a massive nuclear accident.
People began to horde water, food and other supplies in their basements and bomb shelters. When New Year’s Eve turned into New Year’s Day and the calendar changed from 1999 to 2000, nothing happened and the world continued as it always has. A few years later, some people actually got worried about June 6, 2006, believing the date (6/6/06) would cause global disasters and destroy the world. Today the hot topic is 2012 and the fate of Earth. But it is obvious from the past that probably nothing will happen that day. Jesus has never come back, the Y2K bug never wiped us out and the swine flu is yesterday’s news. No one knows for sure what the future holds, so to waste time and effort trying to prepare for something no one can really prove will happen is a joke. I liked the movie 2012, but now I can’t wait for that year to come and go, because then people will start freaking out and preparing for the year 3000 and the Y3K bug. That’ll make a great movie some day. Respond to Bryan at thenews@bgnews.com

Following a successful trip to Florida over spring break, the Falcons head to Richmond, Ky. to battle the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. The Falcons may also have to deal with a bit of rust in the weekend series, as their last four games, including the team’s home opener, have been canceled due to weather. The Falcons bring a strong offensive attack to the table, although they lack the pop that the Colonels have. The Colonels have two players who have more home runs than BG does as a team. They are led by junior infielder Jayson Langfels, who is either first or second on the team in every major offensive stat, putting up a .436 batting average, five homers and slugging .887. However, pitching has been a weakness for the team. They have only two pitchers

The Falcons have shown this year that the long ball is not necessary to have a successful offensive attack. Five players are hitting over .350 for BG. Every one of those players is also getting on base 43 percent of the time, meaning there are plenty of RBI opportunities to go around. Sophomore leadoff hitter Jon Berti has been the catalyst for the team this year, posting a .488 average and a .522 on base percentage. In addition, he leads the team in hits, at bats and sto-

Falcons play in final non-conference match this weekend in Perrysburg By Brett Wane Reporter
Riding a three-game winning streak, the BG tennis team is set for their final tune up before Mid-American Conference play begins. The Falcons, led by coach Penny Dean, will host Duquesne University today at the Perrysburg Tennis Center. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m. Junior Christine Chiricosta and freshman Maddy Eccleston have helped lead the Falcons to a 9-3 record in dual matches this season. BG defeated South Dakota 7-0 and Temple 5-2 on their spring break trip and look
to close out non-conference play with a victory. Both Chiricosta and Eccleston were able to pick up two doubles and two singles victories on the trip. Sophomore Jessica Easdale was also perfect, picking up two singles victories and one doubles victory while teaming with junior MaryCatherine Beck. Sen ior co-capta i ns Samantha Kintzel and Katia Babina each picked up three victories in four tries. Duquesne University is 5-6 on the season and is riding a two-game winning streak coming into the matchup with
the Falcons. The Dukes were able to pick up a 4-3 victory over Coastal Carolina, who was ranked No. 69 in the nation. The last time the Falcons and Dukes battled on the court, BG was victorious on the road 52 in last season’s dual-match opener. All-time the Falcons lead the series 4-0 and will hope to pick up a fifth win in the fifth consecutive season the two teams have played each other in dual match play.

to the next round. Both BG and Michigan State have a brief history, having only played once since 1997. The Spartans got the best of the Falcons in the 2008 Women’s National Invitation Tournament, winning 74-66 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. Though it was nearly two years ago, Jen Uhl remembers the type of team MSU has. “I remember they were strong [and] they were fast. They’re a big team,� Uhl said. The Spartans are led by their 6feet-9-inch senior center Allyssa DeHaan, who averages 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.She has a total of 100 blocks this year and 502 for her career. Forwards Kalisha Keane and Lykendra Johnson post 9.8 and 8.8 points per game, respectively, while Johnson leads the Spartans with 7.6 rebounds per game. While MSU can beat teams inside the paint, there ability to defend the passing lanes makes for a tough one-two punch. “They deny each and every pass, so they can force you into turnovers,� BG coach Curt Miller said. “They force you out of your comfort zone.� And in the midst of an eightgame winning streak, getting forced out of their comfort zone is the last thing the Falcons want. Being comfortable on the court is nothing new to Uhl. Whether she’s starting or coming off the bench, Uhl’s focus is on making a difference in the game. “Whether I’m starting from the first minute or I’m starting from the 16th minute of the game, I’m going to try to make an impact every time I’m on the floor,� Uhl said. As a team, the Falcons will have to make an impact for the entire 40 minutes, as the Spartans led the Big Ten in scoring defense (57.5 ppg), field goal percentage defense (35.1), 3-point field goal percentage defense (27.7) and blocks (5.78 bpg). “They’re the most physical team in the Big Ten, so we have to be ready from the beginning to be able to handle that or they’ll disrupt us on both ends of the floor,� Miller said.

We played a very good team in Wyoming in front of a huge crowd at Wyoming. “A game like that taught me how to play in front of people and to play in an environment where you’re not really the favorite.� For the first time since January, the 12th-seeded Falcons will not be favorites when they play against the fifth-seeded Spartans tomorrow.

Heat the mixture to as hot as you can stand it, but please don’t go all XXX and try to prove you’re awesome because you can stand such high temperatures. Once heated, put the milk mixture in large bowl and soak your feet in it for at least 10 minutes. After you’ve enjoyed your soak, rinse
Put all of the ingredients into a blender, and puree them together until smooth. Slather all over your face and let it soak in for about 20 minutes. The acid in the tomato and the lemon is great for oily skin and other blemishes, and the oatmeal reveals the pretty skin stuck below the surface of the dry skin. Rinse with plenty of warm water.

Artist Name | Vampire Weekend Grade | A a live album at the same studio The Beatles recorded “Abbey Road.” One may ask what it takes to have such success. For this band, it’s threefold, and all qualities are found on their sophomore album, “Contra.” The first ingredient is song lyrics revolving around topics only suitable for listeners studying hard in college (two of the album’s song titles are “Horchata” and “Diplomat’s Son.”) The four guys are clearly educated, and they like to show it in their songs. Second of all, their original sound does wonders for their popularity. Ezra Koenig’s soothing, British-sounding vocals and their catchy, ■ ■

The 1980s. It ended one year before I was even born, yet it has resonated with me up until today. From the cheap action flicks (I’m looking at you, “Cobra”) to my bizarre fascination with Duran Duran and The Cure, I have ever been intrigued by the decade. Thus with the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” coming out, in which four jaded friends travel back to 1986, my curiosity was piqued. Then of course there was
MGM’s minor invitation to cover the film at a Lake Tahoe Press Junket, in which stars of the film would throw an ‘80s party (live cover band included). “Hot Tub” star Craig Robinson (”The Office,” “Knocked Up”) performing “Jessie’s Girl” was fun, and getting to add “MGM 80’s Dancer” to my resume was interesting. Yet I stuck to the mission—getting to the bottom of my ‘80s fascination. Director Steve Pink finds the decade a definite mixed bag, though. “You have to face your fear, your embarrassment. Shark-skin suit, pink shirt—you can’t run from that,” he said on showing both the righteous and

Nostalgic for the decade I missed
By Josh Whetherholt Pulse Reviewer
Tim Burton has maintained his crown as king of weird children’s movies with his latest creation of “Alice in Wonderland.” Burton teams up, yet again, with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, a deranged haberdasher who can’t make up his mind to speak in an English or Scottish accent, to make a version of Wonderland that only Burton could come up with.

ALICE From Page 8 A 19-year-old Alice falls down a rabbit hole, returning to the mystical underworld she first experienced as a child. She quickly learns she has a destiny to fulfill in Wonderland to slay the Jabberwocky, basically a dragon, and dethrone the evil Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter. Alice is reluctant to take on this path as it is very dangerous and she needs to get back to the world above. But she is convinced by the Mad Hatter to tread on after seeing the devastation to the land at the hands of the Red Queen and her army of heart-suite card men. With the aid of the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Alice embarked on her journey, resulting in an entertaining bat-
NOSTALGIA From Page 8 unrighteous moments of the era. That’s where the charm lies though, in that even the most embarrassing parts of the decade are fun now if just because of how ridiculous they are. That’s where the enjoyment of “Hot Tub” and the decade in general are found, in the charm of it all. Nearly all generations can appreciate the references, ranging from the obvious (”Miami Vice” and “Where’s the Beef?” T-shirts) to the obscure (Wham’s “Choose Life” motto). Then there are also the stars of the time, which “Hot Tub” definitely did not let go to waste. “You probably wanna do [an ‘80s movie] with John Cusack,”
tle between the armies of the White and Red Queens along with Alice and Company. I’ve never been much of a Tim Burton fan in the past, and “Alice in Wonderland” did little to change that. Overall it was a fun movie, with very interesting effects and the ending battle was pretty exciting. However, I still can’t shake the feeling the Mad Hatter got much more of a central role simply because it was Johnny Depp, Burton’s heterosexual life partner. While “Alice in Wonderland” is offered as a 3-D film, I can’t see how it would really add much to the experience. My suggestion for “Alice” is two-fold; if you tend to enjoy Burton’s flicks, as many do, “Alice” is right up your alley. If you feel that Burton forces the creative and over uses Depp, skip the Jabberwocky and talking caterpillar. stresses co-star Lizzy Caplan, “Or else you’re a hack.” Seeing as she plays the girlfriend of the famed “Say Anything” and “Sixteen Candles” actor, it looks like “Hot Tub” hits the mark then. Cusack is not the only one returning to the days that launched him to stardom. Chevy Chase (”Caddyshack,” “Vacation”) and Crispin Glover (”Back to the Future”) also swing back to the most excellent era. Glover described his return to time-travel adventures as “a very positive, enjoyable experience.” In the end though, what does one take away from the ‘80s? It was a decade of excess, a time before technology ruled the world, of carefree fun and not having to check one’s cell phone every second. Actually, forget the movie, show me where that time machine is.

BAREFOOT From Page 8
are going to hate us for ruining the [mood].’ People were really respectful, and we threw in some covers to make them feel like they knew some of the songs.” The band’s cover choices added extra shades of fun and humor to the show. The theme song from the popular show “The Office” shot out unexpectedly from the stage, catching the room off guard while eliciting smiles all around. The band also covered John Mayer’s “Waiting On The World To Change.” Supplemented by a twang-inflectioned rendition of a popular dance song very much outside the band’s usual repertoire, this song was sent out to the concert’s female attendees. “Their cover of ‘Single Ladies’ was great,” sophomore Sarah Gluckin said, “And just in general the reggae feel to contemporary songs was awesome and pretty unique.” A hint of Irish orneriness, too, shined through in the uncharacteristic mustaches the band’s members wore proudly for the show. “We did that just for the ClaZel here in Bowling Green.” Waynelovich said, laughing. Driscoll’s mustach proved less
than convincing to one concertgoer. “One older man pulled my mustache and asked if it was real,” Driscoll’s said. The band pulled on many styles and influences to create the sound they brought to Bowling Green that night. The swirling of jazz into the reggae root structure of their music was an aspect senior Brad Bishheimer most admired. “I think they are awesome,” he said. “The way they like, blend the jazz into the reggae is so unique. It’s really unlike any other band I’ve ever heard.” Driscoll, too, prided himself on the melting-pot nature of the songs they assemble. “One of the questions we ask people is ‘What is your favorite song?’” he said. “Everybody has their own flavor to what is their favorite song. We kind of strive to make everyone happy in their different ways.” The band as a group said they wish to return to Bowling Green, hopefully having built a fan base here that will receive them again. Audience approval was abundant. A man handling booking for a club in Columbus was in attendance and inquired about hiring the band. Barefoot Truth left its footprint — no soles, all foot palms and toes.

VAMPIRE From Page 8 yet mature afro beat-type indie song arrangements set them apart from other bands. They have created a sound that makes them easily distinguishable after a minute of listening. Thirdly, the mood of their songs does nothing but put smiles on faces. The band’s opening track rhymes Horchata (a sweet beverage popular in Mexico) with balaclava (a woolen hood covering one’s head and neck usually worn by mountain climbers,) Aranciata (a brand of carbonated mineral water) and Masada (a mountaintop fortress in Israel.) Vampire Weekend crushes any ideas of a sophomore slump with “Contra,” giving the band more of what they offered on their first self-titled album released in 2008.

There are two different ways the band sets up to entertain the listener. The first half of the album features fast-paced tunes averaging at three minutes each. This part of the album features choruses with no words but fun whines (“White Sky,”) brief usage of Autotune (“California English”) and a background of chirpy horns (“Run”). The final songs of the album feature songs closer to five and six minutes with the album conclusion dedicated to a person who has decided to turn their backs away from friendship which showcases VW most vulnerable side seen (“I Think UR A Contra”). The band develops a name for themselves with “Contra” and create a piece of art unlike anything else heard from other artists of today. Now that The Beatles have given them space on Abbey Road, maybe there’s room for a Contra Road in NYC in the next years to come.
