Campus enrollment reaches near-record numbers

By Alissa O’Neill News Editor

Congratulations, freshmen class of 2010, you are all a part of the biggest incoming class at the University since 2004, and the second biggest class in history.

Enrollment numbers within the admissions department, as of Tuesday, anticipate 3,875 students arriving on the first day, a little less than the 3,929 in 2004. Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management and Director of Admissions Gary Swegan said that number can change and probably will within the first couple of weeks though.

“You do lose a few that are homesick or whatever between day one and day 15,” Swegan said. “We could even be a little above 3,875.”

Swegan said the number could increase because of the two orientations held at the end of the week and also the unknown number of international students that will be attending.

The increase in enrollment this year as compared with the last three years is significant, especially the jump from last year to this year which was 3,166 to 3,875. Swegan

Construction on Wooster Street poses challenges for drivers and pedestrians

“You do lose a few that are homesick or whatever between day one and day 15.”

Gary Swegan | Director of Admissions said the increase is a product of the reinvestment the University made in the enrollment effort and the new staff those University funds allowed them to hire.

“We brought in six new recruiters on a ten-month contract that allowed us simply to, relatively speaking, we doubled our recruitment output in terms of the number of high schools we visited, the number of college fairs that we attended, the number of on-campus programs,” Swegan explained.

“Our on-campus visitors were up over 20 percent this year.”

In addition to the new recruiters in the admissions office, another new admissions branch was formed last summer that contributed to the high enrollment numbers. The Student Enrollment Communication Center was created to reach out to prospec-

tudents expecting to travel their usual route downtown will collide with orange barrels blocking a steep drop, as excavators and bulldozers now crowd the usually pedestrian-heavy East Wooster Street.

Individuals attempting to cross through the construction zone are subject to a misdemeanor charge with up to a $100 fine, according to Lt. Tony Hetrick of the Bowling Green Police Division.

Sixty-nine citations for violation of a traffic con-

trol device have already been issued, including one individual who got stuck in the construction zone after driving around the barrier while following a GPS. Fifty-nine of the charges will be dropped, according to the city prosecutor’s office.

“Of those 69 citations, a large majority of them are going to be dismissed because of improper marking in the construction zone,” Hetrick said.

“It wasn’t as secured as it maybe should have been.”

The construction area has been tightened up

University will prepare students for life The first day of classes: The usual confusion about classroom location, the uncertainty about what’s required and the apprehension as to what’s expected.

For some, this is your first time away from home. For some, it’s the challenge of becoming acclimated to a new country and culture. Some may be the first in the family to attend college. For others, it’s the chance to see what’s changed around campus with the growing realization that your campus days are drawing to a close.

This is all part of the university experience - a chance to explore new things, become

acquainted with new ideas and have the opportunity to reflect upon your direction, plans and hopes.

It’s more than an opportunity to explore the mysteries of calculus, DNA, French poetry, the marketing of services, physiology or contemporary piano composition. It’s more than an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and regale each other with tales of summer activities. It’s more than trying to satisfy your dissertation professor who seems to be deliberately imposing everincreasing challenges. It’s more than weekend evenings spent in prolonged social activities.

It’s really all about asking you to sit up, take notice and become aware - truly aware - of your surroundings in terms of culture, field of knowledge, society and the greater world that you and I inhabit.

For we know that, when you leave and begin your career, your days of being a passive recipient of information will be drawing to a close and you’ll be challenged to improve society by contributing to your employer through your work.

You’ll be asked to think really think - and reflect on your work, your home, your locality, your society, your nation and your world. The visual communications major will be required to understand the effects of salmonella and the consequent need to discard contaminated eggs. The English major will need to appreciate the effects of the national deficit so he or she can vote intelligently in November. The accounting major will be required to understand foreign cultures so the effects of actions taken half a world away can be comprehended.

In short, the university’s job is to stretch your mind in many different directions, not so you can understand everything in depth - which is impossible

- but so you can realize there is usually more to events and occurrences than meets the eye, and that complex problems are not always, if ever, solved by simple solutions.

You’ll be faced with challenges; so are we. As you are aware, the University is putting up new buildings and renovating old ones. This results in the expenditure of funds and the disruption of some campus activities. Fulltime University faculty will be asked to vote on whether or not to form a faculty union.

The state-supported share of student support has been reduced over the past few years. There is simply no end to challenges and problems.

And yet, this is a happy circumstance for all of us.

Problems and challenges beg for solutions, and it’s up to all of us to respond. A university education is designed to enable us to respond more intelligently.

So, welcome, either for the first time or for a continuation of your educational experience.

The construction area has been tightened up and citations will be enforced, he said.

“People need to stay out of there, it is a hazard,” he said. “If you are found in there, you will be cited.”

The construction will continue to detour pedestrians and traffic until mid-to-late October, according to Brian Craft, the public works director.

The current project, expected to cost a little over $1 million, will upgrade sewer lines and place new curbs, sidewalks and curb ramps.

In addition, new street lights will go up while telephones poles will come down — with wires being rerouted underground or directly to

PRINTING From Page 1 -ing their allowance amounts, which were determined based on class rank within the University, so seniors received around $41.50, juniors received around $83, etc. The allowances are one-time because, if used responsibly, they are designed to carry students through to their degree completion, which is why sophomores and juniors received greater allowances than seniors.

Freshmen will not receive any allowance for printing so they will always have to be sure there is money on their BG1 card in order to print.

If the printing allowance runs out before degree completion, students will have to make sure there is money on their BG1 card for printing. The exact number of pages students will be able to print with their allowances will depend on whether or not they print in color and whether or not they print oneor two-sided.

Despite the e-mails sent out to the continuing students explaining the program and giving them their printing allowances, there is still confusion when it comes

line was cut into last Friday.

“The police and the fire division actually did go door to door and evacuate all of the buildings in that area,” he said.

Fawcett said complaints have been received from businesses about the lack of traffic, while residents are furious about having their lawns being used as sidewalks for those trying to reach the businesses.

He said businesses could still be reached by using Clough Street for businesses on the south side of street or Court Street for businesses on the north side.

“My best advice is heed any road or sidewalk closure signs,” Fawcett said. “Do not cross the barriers, do not cross in to the construction zone, avoid it at all costs.”

the buildings on the street.

Craft said the extra traffic from move-in weekend was taken into consideration, but the project had to be completed at this time to avoid conflicting with planned construction on North Main Street next year.

“The goal is to get this done this calendar year, in advance of a big North Main project we have coming next year, so we don’t have Main and Wooster shut down at the same time,” he said.

The North Main project will widen the street from Dale Drive to the Woodland Mall.

The Wooster Street project has experienced a number of issues.

to the allowances. Junior Lauren Cadwallader thought the allowance was only in number of pages available to print and junior Lindsay Weber thought she had to pay the University the amount in her e-mail in order to print.

Weber also thought her allowance was overly high.

“It kind of annoyed me because I finally moved off campus this year and have my own printer, so I won’t really need to be printing on campus,” Weber said.

She added that the success of the program, in her opinion, will depend on the type of students and professors using the on-campus printing.

“If they live on campus, they’ll print everything on campus and if not, then they won’t,” Weber said. “It also depends on the professors, too, because some make you print everything and some make you do everything online.”

The Undergraduate Student Government also foresaw class printing requirements becoming a problem for students and this summer they passed a resolution to the Print Responsibly program to encourage the University to allow students to submit classwork online instead

of spending their money or allowances on printing.

Cadwallader sees where the University is coming from with the Print Responsibly program, but isn’t sure how her printing allowance will stack up since she’s never tracked how many pages she’s printed before. She thinks the program will be a good tool to get people to track their printing.

“I think it’s a wonderful idea to inspire, or force, people to keep track,” Cadwallader said.

“I understand the position the University is in, in a financial crunch and I definitely see a problem with excessive printing and I think this will be a good way to control it. I also think it’s good because it doesn’t immediately shoulder the costs to students because of the allowance.”

Students will be able to view their funds available for printing, both the allowance and on BG1, when they submit a printing job on a University computer since they will still have to log on with their username and password. They will also be able to monitor the money on their BG1 card through their MyBGSU under the BG1 card tab.

-tive students and offer them personal contact with the school and director Sandy Mencer said that’s one reason why the numbers are up this fall.

“We’re really connecting with that many more people and I think that’s what’s making the whole difference, the human contact and being able to be right there,” Mencer said.

The students working with Mencer at the SECC numbered close to 50 last year and they worked with prospective students through making phone calls, keeping them connected on Facebook and operating the live chat available on the admissions website. The students worked into the summer and Mencer said they have made about 10,000 calls to rising seniors in high school this summer alone.

With the higher numbers though, there are some

Monday, August 23, 2010 complications on campus finding housing for all the freshmen. While there are 1,300 new residence spaces slated to be open for next fall, there needed to be room now for the large incoming class. Swegan said he thinks Residence Life handled the issue well by deciding to turn Conklin back into a residence space on the second, third and fourth floors.

“I think that was a great solution, it was already a residence hall in the past and so it was easy to make it back into a residence hall,” Swegan commented. “It’s a good location, relatively in the center of campus.”

Housing was the largest problem the University faced with the higher numbers in the incoming class, according to Swegan. Across the board academically, Swegan said the colleges did a good job realizing this class was considerably larger and students are still leaving campus with full schedules.

While the increased number may have caused prob-

lems on campus, Swegan also said a benefit of having such a large freshmen class is going to be the energy they bring to the campus.

“I think one of the big benefits is simply the energy and the excitement and the enthusiasm surrounding being part of a class like that,” Swegan said. “I think what you get is a general excitement around campus. We feel good about ourselves and we feel good about the campus and all the things that are happening and I think that quite naturally comes through.”

The admissions office may be able to extend that good feeling beyond this year’s freshmen class because not only is their work with enrollment showing in this year’s numbers, it’s also already making an impact on next year’s. Last year at this time there were 270 applications in for Fall 2010 and at this time there are already 677 applications in for Fall 2011.

“I anticipate good things to come for us,” Swegan said.

THEBGNEWS PRESENTS

FALCON SCREECH Welcome to the Falcon Screech, a special addition to the Forum section and a section just for you. Angry about something?

Nobody around to listen to you rant? We want to hear it. Whether it is about that annoying guy in your lecture, the state of the University, whatever - we want all your complaints so we can publish them here once a week for your reading pleasure. We only ask that you keep it reasonably clean and approximately 100 words.

You can submit screeches in one of two ways - online at bgviews. com or you can tweet at us @bgviews.com. We know your online all the time anyway, why not vent a little while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it? And even though we know texting shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done in class, tweeting a quick screech could provide an instant relief to classroom annoyances. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here for you! Your name will have to be provided upon submission, but all answers will be published in the paper anonymously.

Just to pique your interest, here are a couple fine examples of Falcon screeches to get you going.

It really rattles me to know that BGSU sends my parents letters, telling them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep your daughter on trackâ&#x20AC;? and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;register for classes soon!â&#x20AC;? My parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for college, I DO. Send ME

the stuff that I need to keep going through school. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adults now, so treat us that way BG! -â&#x20AC;&#x201D;maisymouser

Dear Bum sleeping in the Union, When did this place become a hotel? You sleep across couches, leaving me nowhere to sit and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse is I have to listen to you snore. Sometimes you even show up at 7:30 a.m. just to go back to sleep. Your apartment wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting the job done for you? Most of the time you sleep during the middle of the day; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you have anything better to do? How do you think it looks to visitors to see you sleeping? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you worry that someone is going to steal your stuff sitting on the ground next to you while you are sleeping? So how about you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embarrass yourself anymore and just stay at home and sleep. You literally look like a bum! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;That guy

The USG was for the increases in tuition, then they were for the Stroh Center fees, then they were for the shuttle bus fees, then they were for the fees for printing, and now they are against supporting the teachers. No wonder the USG is about as popular as Hitler among the informed students.

Good thing the student president gets free tuition so he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about the costs personally.

--â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Who Cares Dear Education Majors, I am so sick of hearing how hard your major is! I know teaching kids is hard and yes, it costs a lot of money for crafts and stuff.

But every conversation we have together is you complaining about your major and dissing everyone else because their majors seem â&#x20AC;&#x153;easyâ&#x20AC;? compared to early childhood education. Why major in it, if you know are going to complain about it every day?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get me started on how much Methods sucked, it probably did, but you had to do it, so stop complaining! But you did teach me one thing, I learned to never room with a Methods student again!

$ONKEYS KILL MORE PEOPLE ANNUALLY THAN

Dear Laundry Room Jerk, Why is it that you must take over six washers? You only have three articles of clothing in each. The rest of us are sick of having to wait for washers and the fact that half of them are already broken only makes it worse. You obviously feel the need to separate your pink shirts from your red. There is one laundry room in Founders, learn to share.

Faculty develop collective bargaining election Fall mail-in election could alter more than 800 faculty futures

By Alissa Widman Reporter

Faculty Association members are awaiting a fall mail-in election that could alter more than 800 full-time faculty membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; futures.

The University administration and the Faculty Association reached an agreement on the collective bargaining issue June 17, prior to a scheduled hearing in Columbus.

Instead of attending, the parties entered negotiations and selected Sept. 28 through Oct. 12 as the time period for a confidential State Employment Relations Board election, Faculty Association President David Jackson said.

All full-time faculty members are eligible to vote, Jackson said, and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? vote would allow both tenured and non-tenure track members to immediately begin contract negotiations with the University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our position was always to have the entire faculty in one bargaining unit, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more similar than different,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to survey our members, find out what important things they want us to nego-

tiate for and what is best for us and the students.â&#x20AC;?

President Carol Cartwright has addressed the facultyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to form a collective bargaining unit periodically with statements on the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[T]he administration believes it can be fairly said that this step would fundamentally alter the faculty culture of BGSU and do nothing to accomplish the strategic goals that the BGSU community has established,â&#x20AC;? she said April 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the administration does not support the organizing effort, it does look forward to the conversation that will now take place.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition, Faculty Association members remain optimistic for a passing vote and positive results, said Karen Craigo, director of communications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the answer to a lot of our problems and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all for the good of the students,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been said before that our working environment is their learning environment, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all looking forward to getting past this election so we can collaborate for their future.â&#x20AC;?

Collective bargaining will

allow faculty to negotiate higher salaries and benefits that compete with the rates of other state universities.

According to Candace Archer, secretary of the Faculty Association, this will positively affect students by providing a more stable faculty, decreasing class sizes and adding a faculty voice to strengthen educational priorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending a lot of time explaining to students whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and why the faculty believes this is important,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got involved because I know people on campus and this is a way I can help improve their circumstances.â&#x20AC;?

Archer said the Faculty Association members are satisfied with the election agreement, which could potentially culminate unionization discussions that date back to March 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From our perspective, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy everyone is settled, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just moved on,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not thinking about previous disagreements, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to a settlement both sides seem happy with.

Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a collective bargaining unit established by mid-October.â&#x20AC;?

Undergraduate Student Government Graduate Student Senate plans outlines goals for new school year for upcoming school year

By Max Filby Reporter

Students are now able to travel downtown thanks to a new shuttle system proposed by the Undergraduate Student Government last spring. The shuttle is scheduled to run every Thursday through Saturday night and will likely be free to all students.

“We worked on what we wanted and put together a basic shuttle route,” said Dan Caldwell, USG vice president. “With such a high enrollment we might not even have to pull money from students either.”

This summer, USG has also been looking to improve commuter travel during the winter semester by amending the current guidelines for University closures and delays.

The changes will create a threshold, such as a Level Two Snow Emergency to cancel classes for commuter students, said Joe Edens, USG chairman of internal affairs.

Changes may also define certain wind chill levels that

could cancel classes.

“Right now it is kind of in its infancy,” said Kevin Basch, USG president. “BGSU doesn’t have anything consistent so we are looking to better clarify the academic charter.”

USG also recently discussed improvements to Blackboard or eventually replacing it with a system called My Edu. As opposed to Blackboard, My Edu. offers more advising services for a $20 monthly charge.

“We are just keeping our eyes out for student resources,” Basch said. “Right now we are just asking ourselves if we want to bring this on campus or not.”

In May, USG collaborated with dinning services for the creation and design of the new McDonald Dinning Center and the reconstruction of Commons. Opening fall 2011, the new Dining centers will likely feature a Dunkin Donuts store, an outdoor fire pit and rooftop gardens.

“We’re hoping the University will allow students in the roof gardens to pick their own fruit,” said John Zachrich, USG Senator. “That’s about as

Dedicated to resolving issues through active representation, the Graduate Student Senate is committed to serving the 3000 graduate students at the University.

Through legislative efforts and ongoing communication with the administration, GSS adheres to enhancing the academic and social experiences of all its members.

“Our two primary roles are professional development and advocacy,” president of GSS Stephen Dinda said. “We want to facilitate the ways students develop themselves at the University.”

Over the summer, Dinda and other GSS committee members planned for several new, upcoming events for the fall semester.

“The GSS legislation has been working all summer with executive committee members for the coming year,” GSS secretary Alice Cook said. “Our

The dining halls will be the first in the country to receive platinum certification by Leaders in Energy and Environmental Design system.

This summer, the Undergraduate Student Government passed a resolution to the Print Responsibly program, asking the University to either encourage online homework or financial incentives for printing. At its August 16 meeting, USG received a letter from President Carol Cartwright announcing the discount for double sided printing.

“I’m very happy with how things turned out,” said Melissa Dzienny, USG senator and resolution author. “Its definitely a win for USG.” This article previously appeared in the 8/20 edition of The BG News.

and Krakoff said so far they are a week ahead of schedule.

Northwest Hall is going in next to Offenhauer Towers and will have suite-styled rooms geared toward upperclassmen. South Central Hall will be located next to Kohl Hall with double rooms for freshmen.

Krakoff also said the renovations to McDonald Hall were on schedule. The initial demolition to McDonald West (about 20 to 30 percent of the building) was completed. That leg will become a new dining hall by next year.

organization is dedicated to identifying student concerns and producing promising results.”

GSS will hold monthly brown bag luncheons where leaders from the University and the surrounding community will discuss student issues and the ways they can be resolved.

“We’re looking for ways to expand and tailor to students needs,” Dinda said.

“The luncheons will be a conduit to connect students to upper administration for expressing concerns.”

Other new projects include a University car rental program. Dinda said the program will make renting a car affordable and convenient for all students.

“One of the problems with rental cars is you have to be at least 25 years old,” Dinda said. “You also have to pay for the whole day which usually runs for about $50. A lot of international students don’t have the money to rent a car at those rates, and what our program will do is charge

eight dollars an hour for students to go to the grocery store or run errands.”

The car rental program would be available to anyone over 18 and proof of insurance is not necessary. Dinda said GSS is collaborating with USG, the University’s director of purchasing and several rental car companies to make this idea a reality.

“We want to give students more alternatives to make their experience at the University easy as possible.”

Dinda said. “If we’re going to do it, let’s do it right.”

This fall, GSS will also be working with disability services to help students with their degree process.

“A student who has a learning disability should be able to receive a fair education,” Dinda said. “If you are in a situation where you have that sort of issue, I want them to feel comfortable coming to an office that is there to serve them and to make their educational

Notes: Freshman Schilz has edge in quarterback battle

By Sean Shapiro Web Editor

If BG were to play tomorrow, Matt Schilz would be the quarterback.

Multiple times this week coach Dave Clawson has said the redshirt freshman has distanced himself from the competition, and will be the starter on Sept. 4 at Troy, barring something unexpected happens.

“He has taken care of the football better then any other of the quarterbacks … not only has he put us in the best situation to win, he has put us in the best position not to lose,” Clawson said.

Replacing Tyler Sheehan — a 3-year starter, who threw for over 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns his senior season — was arguably the biggest question mark entering camp this year, and four different quarterbacks all had a chance to earn the spot.

While Schilz is not yet officially the starter, redshirt freshmen Kellen Pagel and Trent Hurley are in a heated battle for the second string spot. Aaron Pankratz, the only

quarterback on the roster with any game experience, has fallen to fourth on the depth chart.

New Kicker

play immediately if they are enrolled in another school’s graduate program.

New No. 7 in town Schilz not only has to fill the shoes of record setting quarterback Sheehan, but by his new number choice he may draw comparison to another former Falcon.

Switching to No. 7, Schilz is taking over the number of NCAA-record holder and current Chicago Bears wide receiver Freddie Barnes. Last season, Barnes smashed the old NCAA record of 142 receptions, hauling in 155 passes and finished as a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s top receiver.

Other notable number changes this year include Kevin Alvarado, will wear No. 3 while tight end Demark Jenkins will wear Sheehan’s old No. 13.

After BG kickers combined to hit just 12-of-21 field goal attempts last season, including three misses from within 29 yards or closer, Bryan Wright has come to the rescue.

A graduate student who played the past three years at the University of Michigan as a kick-off specialist, Wright brings instant credibility to the Falcons’ kicking game.

While he didn’t attempt any field goals with the Wolverines, Wright hit the second longest field goal in Ohio high school history as a senior, 57-yards, and has consistently hit from long range in practice.

Right now, Wright will handle field goal and kick-off duties, while there is still an open competition between himself and Jerry Phillips for the punters job.

Wright was able to transfer without sitting out a year since a recent NCAA rule allows students who have graduated, but still have eligibility to

Lewis in the fifth minute.

Topolic evened up the score eight minutes into the second half with a strike from the top of the 18 yard box.

The Falcons and Grizzlies stalemated each other through the remainder of normal time and the first half of overtime.

With only two minutes left in the second half of overtime, the

game looked like it would end in a draw.

But unfortunately for the Falcons, Oakland’s Alex de Leon, who finished the ending of normal time with a yellow card, ended the game flying header goal.

The Falcons look to rebound with their final scrimmage of the season against Indianapolis at home Saturday at 1 p.m.

NEW MAN IN TOWN: Chris Bergeron stands at the podium last spring as the new head coach of BG hockey.

By Ryan Satkowiak Assistant Sports Editor

With 42 days to go until the BG hockey team opens their season with an exhibition against Wilfrid-Laurier, first-year head coach Chris Bergeron has a tall task staring him down.

Due to the renovations the BGSU Ice Arena is currently undergoing, all of the players went home to train over summer, leaving the coaching staff unable to personally track their progress.

“We set the stage last year with our 17 returning guys to let them make their own goals,” Bergeron said. “My feeling is that everything is going to be positive, but I want to leave that final determination until Monday when we see these guys, and we get to track their progress in the weight room.”

Bergeron and his staff also have to deal with the team being very inexperienced.

Of the 27 players listed on the roster, only seven are juniors or seniors.

Bergeron is expecting the upperclassmen to grasp a leadership role.

“I expect all of the seniors to take a leadership role, they’ve been through a lot those four guys, good, bad and indifferent,” Bergeron said. “Not just in terms of wins and losses, but the situations with the coaching staff, the uncertainty of the program, just an overall lack of stability.

“I don’t care if you’re a first year or a fourth year, we’re anxious to see who wants to step up and get after that challenge.”

Chris Bergeron | BG Coach “Well that has changed, so hopefully with the lessons they have learned the last three years, we can put some pressure on them to lead the way.”

A potential plus for the Falcons is all four seniors had significant roles on the team last year.

Andrew Krelove is the only returning upperclassman on defense, Nick Eno started 21 games in goal, David Solway was third on the team with 18 points, and Wade Finegan played solid minutes towards the end of the season.

That being said, Bergeron is not promising a role to any player.

“In all positions it’s wide open,” Bergeron said. “Nobody has any clout with the staff, so they’re all going to have to earn it.

“It’s going to be set in stone, if you want it, go get it. I don’t care if you’re a first year or a fourth year, we’re anxious to see who wants to step up and get after that challenge.”

While the coaching staff hasn’t been able to witness the progress of the team over summer, they do know what to expect from the fans.

Bergeron has been going through the Bowling Green com-

munity to get fans excited about Falcon hockey, and according to him, he likes what he sees.

“My initial impression is everyone is very excited,” Bergeron said. “I wasn’t here when it was uneasy and unstable and things like that, but I’ve heard a lot more of ‘I’m excited, I can’t wait for the season to get going.’”

“We’re happy with the direction the program is going, and I think that the community is too.”

After the uncertainty that surrounded the future of the program just over a year ago, the team is finally on stable footing, led by an exciting young coach whose goal is to put Bowling Green hockey back on the map.

He certainly has said all of the right things thus far, and his track record in helping turn the Miami program into a perennial contender as an assistant shows he has the ability to accomplish that goal.

Starting today, he has just over a month to get the team prepared to begin working towards that, something he’s prepared to accomplish sooner rather than later.

NATION BRIEFS Wisconsin man accused of neglecting 178 cats

Bill would give OK to ‘Ne-VAH-da’ pronunciation

Wash. bride arrested for DUI on her wedding day

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man is accused of neglecting 178 cats and keeping dead kittens wrapped in foil in his refrigerator.

Allan C. Roach faces 20 misdemeanor charges. He was charged earlier this week with 10 counts of failure to maintain adequate sanitation for an animal, and 10 counts of failure to maintain adequate ventilation for an animal.

The case dates back to June 2008 when the cats were found in a home Roach used to share with his brother in Fond du Lac. Prosecutors say they delayed charging Roach in part because they were short-staffed.

The criminal complaint says many of the cats were missing patches of fur or were skinny.

A telephone number for the 57-year-old Roach, now of Portage, could not be found Saturday.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — You know the old adage: You say to-MATE-o, I say to-MAHT-o.

You say Ne-VAH-da, I punch you in the face.

That may sound extreme, but many Nevadans get irritated by the mispronunciation of the state’s name — using an “ah” instead of the correct “a.”

However, outgoing Assemblyman Harry Mortenson is proposing more tolerance.

The Las Vegas Democrat is working on a resolution for the 2011 legislative session to make the “Ne-VAH-da” pronunciation equally acceptable.

Mortenson says he’s not asking Nevadans to change. He just wants the Spanish pronunciation recognized.

Nevadans have long bristled over the issue. In 1944, Reno newspapers even scolded former heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey for his “East Coast” pronunciation during an appearance.

BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) — A 31-year-old bride heading home from her bachelorette party was arrested for drunk driving hours before she was to get married.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Christina Martin says the woman was driving over 90 mph Saturday morning and weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 405 in Bellevue when she was stopped.

Martin says a trooper arrested the woman, processed her and let her take a cab home in time to make it to her early afternoon wedding in Burien.

Martin says the bride’s alcohol level was nearly twice the legal state limit. The woman will face charges in King County District Court.

Ohio grandfather tries to smuggle pot into prison LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — An 85-year-old Ohio man was arrested for trying to smuggle pot to his grandson in prison, authorities said.

Prisonrecords show Richard Heritz was arrested at the Warren Correction Institution in southwestern Ohio earlier this month before he got to see his grandson, Gregory Heritz, who was serving time for a burglary conviction.

Someone had tipped off

state troopers that the elder Heritz tried to bring in a package with more than 20 grams of marijuana.

He’s charged with attempting to convey drugs at a detention facility and possessing criminal tools.

He could face up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine if convicted.

It wasn’t clear if either of them had a lawyer. The younger Heritz had been incarcerat-

ed for two years and is scheduled to serve eight more.

“Attempting to smuggle forbidden items into prison has been ongoing since inmates have been incarcerated,” said Julia Bush, a spokeswoman for the prison where Heritz allegedly tried to smuggle drugs.

Pig wrestling canceled after porkers elude capture

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A pig wrestling competition at a county fair in northern Montana has been canceled after the porkers eluded fair officials trying to round them up for the event.

Fair office manager Shirley Embleton says the wild pigs spend the year on a 10-mile freerange property along the Marias River and about 30 are captured the Friday of the scheduled event.

But this year, fair officials were only able to locate one boar, despite flying the river.

The event was postponed until Saturday, but neither the landowner nor fair officials could locate the absent pigs.

Embleton says next year, organizers will devise a new plan to locate and capture the animals earlier in the week.

27 arrested in Arizona rival biker shootout

Ohio man killed after falling from car’s roof

CHINO VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona authorities say 27 people have been booked on charges ranging from attempted murder to participation in a criminal street gang after shootings involving members of rival motorcycle gangs, the Vagos and Hells Angels.

Detectives estimate at least 50 rounds were fired Saturday during the shootings in the small community of Chino Valley, north of Prescott.

Yavapai sheriff’s spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says at least five people were shot but none of the wounds was life-threatening.

He says detectives are trying to locate one injured gang member who was helped away from the scene in an unknown vehicle.

The shootings brought dozens of Arizona law enforcement officers to the scene.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio authorities say a highway stunt gone wrong killed a Cincinnati man who climbed onto the roof of a car, fell off and was run over by a tractor-trailer.

Hamilton County Sheriff investigators say 29-year-old Joseph Needels was a passenger in a car traveling on Interstate 275 southeast of Cincinnati around 2 a.m. Sunday.

Authorities say Needels climbed out the passenger window and on top of the car.

They say the car drove over some rough pavement, tossing Needels to the ground, where he was hit by the tractor-trailer and at least one other vehicle.

No charges have been filed, but the accident remains under investigation. Investigators say alcohol or drugs may have been a factor. I-275 was closed for about five hours.

33 trapped Chilean miners are alive after 17 days

UK official decries video game with Taliban role

US solider killed in rocket attack in Iraq

Japanese mayor defends dolphin hunts

Guyana military to help police in highcrime areas

Venezuela holds mock vote ahead of elections

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP)— Chile’s president says all 33 miners trapped in a collapsed mine for 17 days are alive.

Miners say they heard hammering noises when they sent a new probe 2,257 feet (688 meters) deep into the collapsed gold and copper mine near the site of a shelter where they hoped the workers had escaped.

Rescuers say a probe sent into the mine came back with a paper message written in red letters saying, “All 33 of us are fine in the shelter.”

LONDON (AP) — A video game that allows players to adopt the role of the Taliban is a “tasteless product,” Britain’s defense secretary said Sunday, calling on retailers to show their support for troops by not selling it.

Liam Fox said he was “disgusted and angry” by “Medal of Honor,” produced by California-based Electronic Arts Inc. “At the hands of the Taliban, children have lost fathers and wives have lost husbands. It’s shocking that someone would think it acceptable to recreate the acts of the Taliban against British soldiers,” he said in a statement. “It’s hard to believe any citizen of our country would wish to buy such a thoroughly un-British game. I would urge retailers to show their support for our armed forces and ban this tasteless product.”

BAGHDAD (AP) — An American solider was killed in a rocket attack in southern Iraq on Sunday, the U.S. military said, marking the first American fatality since the last combat unit in Iraq pulled out of the country.

Lt. Col. Bob Owen, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq, said the attack took place while the solider was conducting operations in Iraq’s southern province of Basra.

Owen declined to elaborate, and a U.S. military statement provided no further details, saying only that the incident is under investigation.

The name of the deceased soldier was being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

The death raises to at least 4,416 the number of U.S. military personal killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. That’s according to an Associated Press count.

TAIJI, Japan (AP) — As children in inner tubes bob on the calm waters of this small ocean cove, a 550-pound (250kilogram) dolphin zips through the crowd in pursuit of raw squid tossed out by a trainer.

Niru, a Risso's dolphin caught locally, seems unbothered by all the people and the squeals of surprise and delight. The cove is packed — it's a bright summer Sunday and hundreds of families have come.

But in two weeks, the waters of the cove will turn blood red, as it becomes a holding pen for annual hunts that capture and kill hundreds of dolphins each year.

The ancient village of Taiji, portrayed in the Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove," has a long and complex relationship with the dolphin. The film portrays the dolphin hunts as a sinister secret, cruel and dangerous because the animals have high mercury levels.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Guyana’s military will assist police in patrolling highcrime areas in response to a spike in gun violence.

Col. Bruce Lovell said Sunday that the joint patrols will start in the coming week.

In recent weeks, gangs of armed bandits have committed a slew of robberies along the east coast corridor of the South American nation. A businessman was fatally shot Friday during a robbery outside a bank.

Guyana’s constitution says the military can play only a supporting role in fighting crime. Troops last joined police patrols last year.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s elections council has held a mock ballot to test the country’s electronic voting system ahead of legislative elections next month.

Authorities say they did not immediately detect any problems during the simulated vote Sunday using more than 4,000 touch-screen voting machines and biometric identification devices planned for the Sept. 26 election.

Some foes of President Hugo Chavez's government have expressed concerns the system is susceptible to rigging, but most opposition parties have not raised questions. Election authorities deny tampering is a threat to the system.

Chavez’s allies have an unbeatable majority in the unicameral assembly because most opposition parties boycotted the last legislative elections in 2005.

Iran announces inauguration of nation’s first unmanned bomber “The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship.”

By Nasser Karimi The Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday inaugurated the country's first domestically built unmanned bomber aircraft, calling it an "ambassador of death" to Iran's enemies.

The 4-meter-long drone aircraft can carry up to four cruise missiles and will have a range of 620 miles (1,000 kilometers), according to a state TV report — not far enough to reach archenemy Israel.

"The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship," said Ahmadinejad at the inauguration ceremony, which fell on the country's national day for its defense industries.

The goal of the aircraft, named Karrar (Persian for “striker”), is to "keep the enemy paralyzed in its bases," Ahmadinejad said, adding that the aircraft is for deterrence and defensive purposes.

The president championed the country's military self-sufficiency program, and said it will continue "until the

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad | President enemies of humanity lose hope of ever attacking the Iranian nation."

Iran launched an arms development program during its 1980-88 war with Iraq to compensate for a U.S. weapons embargo and now produces its own tanks, armored personnel carries, missiles and even a fighter plane.

Iran frequently makes announcements about new advances in military technology that cannot be independently verified.

State TV later showed video footage of the plane taking off from a launching pad and reported that the craft traveled at speeds of 560 miles per hour (900 kilometers per hour) and could alternatively be armed with two 250-pound (113.4-kilogram) bombs or a 450-pound (204.12-kilogram) guided bomb.

Iran has been producing its own light, unmanned surveillance aircraft since

the late 1980s.

The ceremony came a day after Iran began to fuel its first nuclear power reactor, with the help of Russia, amid international concerns over the possibility of a military dimension to its nuclear program.

Iran insists it is only interested in generating electricity.

Referring to Israel's occasional threats against Iran's nuclear facilities, Ahmadinejad called any attack unlikely, but he said if Israel did, the reaction would be overwhelming.

"The scope of Iran's reaction will include the entire Earth," said Ahmadinejad. "We also tell you — the West — that all options are on the table."

Ahmadinejad appeared to be consciously echoing the terminology used by the U.S. and Israel in their statements not ruling out a military option against Iran's nuclear facilities.

BG cross country teams prepare for fall season

By Nick King Reporter

It is time for the Falcon men to put on their running shoes again.

This year the cross country team seems more ready than ever with the largest team in school history.

Not only will they be the largest, but they will also have the most incoming freshmen the team has ever had.

“There are high expectations on both sides,” coach Cami Paulson said. “The incoming freshmen need to earn their spots. At the same time the returners need to lead and earn the respect of their new teammates.”

Paulson expects this to be Christopher Moody’s best season.

As a senior, Moody has led the team in every race since the 2008 season.

BG began practice Aug. 16 in

preparation for their first meet of the season at home Sept. 3 in a 5k dual meet with Toledo at 5:45 p.m.

The women have been working just as hard as the men this offseason as they have both been given a training guide for the summer.

“In order to be ready and successful for the season the runners need to be doing their summer training,” Paulson said. “If they don’t, they will never be able to make it through the first week of practice.”

The seniors on the team know what hard work can do for them.

Last season the team had a different front runner in every race.

“This is a very large senior class. These girls are very close teammates and very responsible,” Paulson said.

“Each one of them has the ability to win.”

Paulson added that stay-

ing healthy is going to be a key factor in determining how successful the season will be.

The seniors to look out for this year are Heather Conger, Ashley Fischer, Barbara Powers, Autumn Dettmann and Megan Kelsey.

Just like the men, the women’s cross country season starts Sept. 3 at home with a 5k dual meet against Toledo with a start time of 5 p.m.

The Falcons will use this week to focus on their offensive and defensive needs while using the other half to introduce what Troy does without necessarily saying what Troy does.

“You can introduce an opponent too early,” Clawson said. “I think if you introduce an opponent too early you get tired of them.”

Right now the biggest competition in camp is for the backup tailback position.

Erique Geiger and Jordan Hopgood have both looked good and would be solid backups if starter Willie Geter goes down.
