Clawson employs COVERED BUT NOT CLOSED low-cost techniques to Despite snow days across the state, University remains open through storm recruit on small budget UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO CLOSED

By Sean Shapiro Senior Reporter

CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY CLOSED

University football coach Dave Clawson and his assistants spent Wednesday morning waiting around the fax machine as National Letters of Intent — official proclamations that high school football players will be heading to the University — started arriving at 7:02. National Signing Day is the final step in a long recruiting process that is often more difficult for a smaller budget institution like the University. Working with one of the smaller budgets in the NCAA, Clawson announced at a press conference Wednesday he signed a class of 21 athletes, a class that is highly ranked in the Mid-American Conference despite the smaller expenditure. The average NCAA recruiting expenditure for the 123 schools with Division I football programs is roughly $724,868 per fiscal year, according to the United States Department of Education. The University’s recruiting expenditure is $357,209, just under half of the national average and almost $30,000 dollars less than the MidAmerican Conference average. Of the 13 schools with football in the MAC, the University is ninth in recruiting expenditure; Eastern Michigan has the highest in the conference, with $611,412; Western Michigan had the lowest, with $235,556. While the University’s recruiting expenditure encompasses all sports at an institution, football has the largest budget, as each year a team can sign up to 25 athletes, a number larger than most other sports’ total rosters. When a team’s budget is divvied up — which comes from general fees and revenue raised by the program — it’s the coach’s responsibility to allot the amount spent on recruiting. “Each one of our sports has a budget, and it’s up to the coach on how it gets spent, the large chunks of

Show to present films by students, faculty By Max Filby Reporter

Students won’t have to go to the box office to see a movie premiere tonight. Instead, students and residents of northwest Ohio can stay indoors and watch “Cinema U,” a show featuring five short films by University faculty and students. Twenty-two films are scheduled to be shown Thursdays from Feb. 3 to March 3 at 9 p.m. on WBGU. Viewers can also watch the show the day after it premieres via the WBGU website. “It’s a celebration of short films,” said Matt Blinn, field production coordinator and creator of “Cinema U.” “The students have really created an amazing series of shows for us to showcase.” When the show premieres

that budget; money for student athletes [scholarships], cost for salaries, operating budget,” said University Athletic Director Greg Christopher. “Underneath that operating budget is travel for the team, game uniforms and recruiting. The coach is expected to manage that budget.” For Clawson, pushing the budget to its limits is even more important with the rise of recruiting success in Florida, a state in which seven of the 21 incoming recruits played high school football. In order to recruit in Florida, an assistant coach usually makes a trip to Florida every week during the season, and Clawson makes “one or two” flights a year. “We get on cheap flights,” Clawson said. “We do the Internet search and we do it financially responsible as possible.” While Florida was the state most frequented by flights carrying University coaches this recruiting season, the Falcons also have a recruit from California, and certain position coaches, such as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Warren Rugerio, will “go anywhere” to fill a need. Despite a willingness to recruit anywhere, Clawson and his staff put a heavy emphasis on the “State of Bowling Green,” — which includes Ohio and anywhere within a five-hour radius — a recruiting technique that is based on building a tradition in the area but also keeps costs low. Coaches try to maximize the time spent in an area — whether Clawson flies to Florida, or if an assistant coach is recruiting the Cleveland area — as another costsaving technique.

Greek Week changes from week to weekend Greek service activities during week followed by a weekend of fun By Danae King Reporter

For Greeks, this year’s Greek Week will be a little different — it will be Greek Weekend. Sophomore and chair of Greek Weekend Seth Melchor said the change from a week to a weekend has caused concern in the Greek community. “They feel like they’re losing, you know — we went from a week and now it sounds like they’re just getting a weekend, but that’s a misconception,” Melchor said. “We’re still having an entire week for it, but now, the week will be consisting of a lot of philanthropy and service events, opportunities to serve the community, and then … the weekend.” The weekend, which is set to take place April 8-10, will have competitive events between the chapters, whom will earn points for winning competitions, Melchor said. Most of the events of the weekend are still to be determined, as the people who will plan the committee have only recently been notified of their positions. However, one event that will be a part of Greek Week is a songfest, said graduate stu-

“We went from a week and now it sounds like they’re just getting a weekend, but that’s a misconception ... We’re still having an entire week for it ... ” Seth Melchor | Greek Weekend Chair dent and Greek Week adviser Ashley Baudouin. She said there was a big demand for a songfest, which is a song and dance competition. There will be other events as well. “There’s some scholarship events involved, there’s a lot of silly games and competition. That’s where a lot of your tradition comes from: some camaraderie, some brotherhood, some sisterhood and just opportunities for people in the Greek community to meet other people,” Baudouin said. The planning committee has full power to decide what events take place, and the first planning meeting for Greek Week will take place next Wednesday. Sophomore Olivia Williams, a member of Delta Gamma, was recently notified that she is the Communications and PR Chair for Greek Weekend. She applied to get the position

and will work with someone else as well. “I don’t know how things are going to run yet … as of right now I don’t know how the weekend’s going to work, but hopefully we make it run smoothly and get people excited about it because I know people are kind of apprehensive about having a weekend instead of a week,” Williams said. The philanthropy events and competition will take place on campus. Students are welcome to lend a hand alongside the Greeks when they’re doing service work, and the competitive events are open to the public. “Obviously the competition will have a bigger draw, but I believe the week is more focused on getting the entire community involved as opposed to just Greeks,” Melchor said. “We’re trying to encourage a University-wide participation.”

‘Third Thursdays’ serve music to The Bowling Greenery University Activities Organization hosts monthly event for students to enjoy music from live performers while dining By Geoff Burns Reporter

Students who enjoy mixing music with their coffee can attend a new coffee house music series at The Bowling Greenery called “Third Thursdays.” The University Activities Organization hosts the event where a new musical artist will perform every third Thursday of every month. “The main reason why we wanted to do it was because we wanted to have a steady stream of music on campus and to have a steady event,” said UAO member Ciara Eddings. UAO used to have an event called “Tunes at Noon” where musicians would perform in dining halls in the afternoons. Third Thursdays is a new and improved music

event that aims to be a lot more special and exclusive for students, Eddings said. Not only do students enjoy the event but the performers do as well. “It was a really relaxed and comfortable feeling,” said performing junior Cory Breth. “It was actually one of my favorite shows to play because I could talk to people and meet them, and the environment was really chill.” Breth wanted to play at the first Third Thursday event to promote his new music and album coming out this year sometime between May and August and to have people listen to him that haven’t in the past. “If I can play a show, then I’m going to take it,” Breth said. “Playing on campus is a really good thing because

a lot of people are passing by and I felt like it was a good gig to pick up, and I was also helping the UAO out.” Students are also excited about Third Thursdays because it gives them something to do on campus. Student Jacob Krynock said it’s a nice and convenient place for them to stop by and enjoy the show and is definitely something different. “It’s good to have random things instead of the usual sporting events here,” Krynock said. “It’s nice to have a variety of things here.” Third Thursdays are at 8 p.m. at The Bowling Greenery each month during the semester. For more information about the UAO’s events, see its Facebook page, www.facebook.com/BGSU.UAO.

Weather policy needs adjustment University guidelines for closing campus should focus more on student safety Fifty percent of the state universities in Ohio closed Wednesday, and Bowling Green was not among them. But it should have been. Wood County was under a level two snow emergency Wednesday morning (not the Level 3 it usually takes to close campus), but there are other factors the University’s severe-weather policy states it will take into consideration. Among them are “hazardous road conditions,” “presence of ice, snow or both” and the “amount of wind” — all of which were obstacles Wednesday morning. Since 2009, the University has only shut down twice for weather, according to Dave Kielmeyer, senior director of communications. On Jan. 28, 2009, the University closed in the morning and classes resumed at 5 p.m., and on Feb. 9, 2009, it closed at 5 p.m., canceling all evening classes. Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn said he usually only declares a level three snow emergency “in a blizzardtype situation.” But our policy should ref lect Bowling Green’s weather — not Wood County’s. The cancelation process should consist of looking out the window, noting any hazardous conditions and making decisions accordingly. Three is just a number, and when students have to walk in the street to get to campus and roads and sidewalks are indistinguishable from one

another, the definition of “blizzard-type situation” becomes more loose. Wednesday, on the University’s Facebook page, students were informed that safety is the administration’s “utmost concern.” “Campus is OPEN,” the post states, “... [but] if you do not feel you can safely travel to campus, please stay home ...” Apparently, because our campus is a largely residential one, the administration presumes most students can walk to class even in inclement weather. But largely residential doesn’t mean entirely residential, and many students live too far away to walk. For them, going to class on a snowy day isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous. The Facebook message implies that the University’s decision makers want students to use common sense and look out for their own safety. Unfortunately, most instructors have attendance policies in accordance with the Universit y’s severeweather policy. And “common sense” won’t constitute an excused absence. Keepi ng ca mpus open during dangerous weather conditions forces many students to weigh academics against safety, and it shouldn’t be up to them to make this decision.

Make snowstorms worthy of happiness, joyfulness Though traveling has made snow the enemy, relaxing during storms brings back love of snow By Dylan Corp Columnist

This winter weather has been called many names: “Snowpocalypse, “Snowmageddon,” “Snowtastrophe,” and “The Recksnowning.” If you are reading these terrible snow puns it means you have survived the, “Great Catsnowclysm of 2011”. For this, I say, congratulations. The only redeeming quality any of us find in snow are the days off from work or school we get. This past snow storm, seemingly one of the worst in some time, was still not enough apparently to close our mighty University. The one thing we had faith in was classes would surely be cancelled, but that thought left us hanging out to freeze. “Et tu, BGSU?” But I have someone else in mind to blame for our displeasure. Not the University, not the snow, but us. Snow gets a bad rap. That’s right; I’m tired of the complaining. I’m tired of the cynicism. I’m tired of getting on Facebook and every status

being filled with snow-hate. I’m here to give a voice to the little man: Jack Frost. He deserves to be defended. Remember when you were a kid? This goes out to students and adults alike. Remember when you would wake up and notice the absence of anything but white? You would marvel at the icicles, notice the patterns of the snow on the roofs of the houses in your neighborhood. As a child, I personally remember a streetlight we had on my corner that, every time it snowed, looked like it came straight out of Narnia. Dorky? Yes. Delightful? Certainly. What happened to that wonder we had as children? What happened to that feeling of happiness we experienced by the mere thought of snow? This is my theory: travel. There’s nothing more painful than a walk through a blizzard, and nothing more horrifying than a drive through one. You can be going five miles per hour and feel like you could lose control at any second. It has ruined any fond feelings we

ever had for snow. Traveling has traumatized us. This is what I propose: don’t travel. This is an easy thing to say for someone who still lives on campus, but hear me out. Next time a storm is coming, buy the essentials before it hits (this includes some hot cocoa of course) and lock yourself down. Blizzards are nature’s way of telling us to put our hectic and busy lives on hold and relax. This past snow storm closed some expressways. Many counties were even under a Level 3 snow emergency. Even the law is telling you to stay at home. Quit fighting it. Take this time to cozy up with the ones you love! What could be more romantic than two people barricaded together? Or more fun than a few friends and family forced to, gasp, spend quality time with one another? If you are stuck alone, have a ‘me’ day. When was the last time you had one? Watch some good movies, catch up on homework, or play out in the snow. Take this time to be a kid again. Build the biggest

snow man of your life. Have a snowball fight. Name it “Call of Duty: Modern Snowfare.” Take your sled, or your dining hall cafeteria tray, and slide down those slopes. Snow days are a time to take a vacation from life. Just forget about sandcastles and start building snow forts. I love weather emergencies because you really feel connected with everyone around you. It’s all anyone can talk about, and you know everyone is going through the exact same thing. We come together, united against the snow. I’m simply asking we come together for it. Snow is our friend, not our foe. Next time you’re trekking across snow man’s land, keep it in mind. Stop and admire the beauty again. It’s still there. It hasn’t left, I promise. It may seem like a trivial concept, but positivity is positively paramount. Stay warm, enjoy the time off, and give snow a chance. You “snow” you want to.

ment and most of all, anger settled back into the heart of Northern Ohio. The Cavaliers needed to win against the Heat, but that wasn’t enough. They needed to keep winning to spite LeBron, and on top of that, the Heat needed to continue to struggle. Life is rarely so simple, and Cleveland sports fans could write a book (and many have) on how truly unjust athletic competition can be. Miami took the lead early and within a few hours were on a plane back to Florida to continue their three-game winning streak at home. Back in Ohio, the loss would snowball into a larger storm than Mother Nature would dare inflict on the city of Cleveland. The Cavs, obviously affected by the Heat’s rout in the Quicken Loans Arena, proceeded to lose and lose hard. They dropped three in a row on the road by a combined 64 points, bringing the losing streak to five. A loss at home, then four more losses on the road and

the streak hit double digits. The Heat, meanwhile, were on fire, warmed up, set the NBA ablaze — whatever other pun you can think of. They proceeded to win 12 in a row en route to winning 22 of 23. The Cavs on the other hand dropped 10, had a surprising win against a tough New York Knicks team Dec. 18 and well, that’s it. Flash forward to the present — the Heat are 34-14, good for third in the entire league and James, wonder of wonders, is having an impressive year. The Cleveland Cavaliers, a team of incompetent youth and inexperience, sit at 8-40. Almost as impressive as the Heat’s run of success, albeit inversely, is the fact that the Cavs have not won a single game since that aforementioned win against the Knicks. Twenty-one losses, including their most recent against, you guessed it, the Heat of Miami. Blackjack.

MUNICH — A court-appointed expert said Wednesday that she can’t confirm or reject the authenticity of John Demjanjuk’s signature on a key piece of evidence at his trial on charges that he was a Nazi death camp guard. Handwriting expert Beate Wuellbeck told the Munich state court that only three letters in Demjanjuk’s alleged identity card were clearly recognizable and she could not verify the authenticity of the signature. Prosecutors say the signature on the identity card from the Nazis’ Sobibor death camp is Demjanjuk’s. Demjanjuk, 90, is standing trial on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder for allegedly having been a guard at the Sobibor death camp. He denies the charges, and the defense maintains the picture ID card, which was once in Russian hands, is a fake made by the KGB. —Andrea M. Jarach (AP)

GENEVA — Iran has executed at least 66 people this year, an alarming surge that has defied outside pressure, the U.N.’s top human rights official said Wednesday. Navi Pillay, the U.N.’s high commissioner for human rights, said she based her tally on a review of Iranian press reports. Tehran does not officially publish the number of its executions. “We have urged Iran, time and again, to halt executions,” Pillay said. “I am very dismayed that instead of heeding our calls, the Iranian authorities appear to have stepped up the use of the death penalty.” Most executions were for drug offenses, she said, but at least three were for political activism. Two executions were held in public, which Pillay said compounded their cruelty and inhumanity. Iran’s U.N. mission in Geneva declined requests for comment Wednesday. Pillay said she was worried about the large number of political prisoners, drug offenders and even juvenile offenders who remain on death row in Iran. —John Heilprin (AP)

OSLO, Norway — A Norwegian lawmaker has nominated WikiLeaks for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize, saying Wednesday that its disclosures of classified documents promote world peace by holding governments accountable for their actions. The Norwegian Nobel Committee keeps candidates secret for 50 years, but those with nomination rights sometimes make their picks known. Snorre Valen, a 26-year-old legislator from Norway’s Socialist Left Party, told The Associated Press he handed in his nomination in person on Tuesday, the last day to put forth candidates. “I think it is important to raise a debate about freedom of expression and that truth is always the first casualty in war,” Valen said. “WikiLeaks wants to make governments accountable for their actions and that contributes to peace.” —Bjoern H. Amland (AP)

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan’s powerful Muslim opposition on Wednesday urged the country’s newly appointed prime minister to step down, calling him the wrong person to introduce democratic reforms and tackle deepening poverty and unemployment. Also, Jordan’s King Abdullah II made a surprise visit to an impoverished northern village. It was his first such trip since the unrest broke out in neighboring Egypt, and appeared to be an attempt to defuse popular anger over the country’s troubles and portray himself as a caring leader. On Tuesday, Abdullah named Marouf al-Bakhit prime minister, bowing to public pressure from protests inspired by those in Egypt against President Hosni Mubarak. Hamza Mansour, a leader of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing, rejected al-Bakhit’s nomination.

LAGOS, Nigeria — A man who used Facebook to post a curse directed at a northern Nigerian governor has been arrested and jailed, police said Wednesday, a chilling warning about freedom of speech ahead of the oil-rich nation’s coming elections. Officers arrested Moukhtar Ibrahim Aminu in Jigawa state in late January for being a “public nuisance,” police spokesman Abdul Jinjiri said. Police held Aminu for several days before bringing him to a local court, where he faced defamation charges. Jinjiri said Aminu’s crime stemmed from a comment he posted Jan. 18 to the social networking website. Aminu asked that divine punishment be leveled against Jigawa state Gov. Sule Lamido. “Allah curse Sule Lamido and all his useless friends,” the posting reads. “Allah make Sule Lamido and his friend useless.” —Jon Gambrell (AP)

HAVANA (AP) — A Roman Catholic Church official said Cuba’s government has agreed to free four opposition prisoners and send them into exile in Spain, but none of them are among a group of 11 prominent dissidents jailed since a 2003 crackdown on dissent. Church spokesman Orlando Marquez said Wednesday that Alexis Borges, Victor Jesus Hechavarria, Osmel Arevalos Nunez and Rodrigo Gelacio Santos are all to be let go in coming days. Borges is serving a 15-yearsentence for hijacking and is on a list of about 100 political prisoners maintained by Elizardo Sanchez, a wellknown Cuban human rights leader. Little was immediately known about the other men.

Clawson addresses needs on offensive line with five signees By Ryan Satkowiak Assistant Sports Editor

The BG football team had a problem with depth on the offensive line last season. That issue was taken care of on National Signing Day. Head coach Dave Clawson announced a class of 21 on Wednesday, with five of those members playing on the offensive line. Of those

five, three of them — Scott Hodges, Christian Piazza and Dominique Wharton — enrolled on campus for the spring semester. “We felt that we had to get bigger … we wanted to add some bulk on the offensive line,” Clawson said. All three players will constitute added bulk up front for the Falcons, as all three weigh at least 275 pounds, while Hodges

and Piazza stand at 6 feet 7. Wharton (ASA College of Excellence) and Hodges (Sacramento City) are both junior college transfers, while Piazza (Fork Union Military Academy) spent the previous semester at prep school. “We had to get immediate help on the o-line,” Clawson

Bergeron to no longer use system of two starting goaltenders The BG hockey team will no longer employ a two starting goaltender system. According to coach Chris Bergeron, the old system of Nick Eno starting on Friday and Andrew Hammond starting on Saturday will no longer be in effect; rather the starter will be determined on how each player is performing. â€œThe goaltenders have been told that our Friday-Saturday thing is not going to continue,â€? Bergeron said. â€œIt is going to be who is playing better and who we, as a coaching staff, feel gives us the best chance to win. â€œ[It could still happen] that both will play in a weekend, so weâ€™re not going to paint ourselves into any corner, and I think that a little comInjuries petition is healthy.â€?

a quadriceps contusion, that according to Bergeron happened some time ago but just hasnâ€™t healed, and Ryan Peltoma needed 12 stitches on his finger after cutting it late in Friday nightâ€™s game. â€œWe have to be careful [with Peltoma] because itâ€™s kind of in an odd place and the cut wasnâ€™t all that great so we donâ€™t want it to reoccur,â€? he said.

But according to Bergeron, that is something that has been the plan all along. â€œThe GPS says two hours, 40 minutes to get there, so if it takes three theyâ€™ll just have their pregame nap on the bus instead of in the hotel,â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™ll have a meal here before we head up there. â€œI think itâ€™s going to work out better this way, so theyâ€™ll have an extra take to clear out the roads, but thereâ€™s no reason we canâ€™t go up there and compete at a high level.â€?

The Falcons signed one kicker, Tyler Tate, who Clawson said impressed the staff with his performance in a specialist camp last summer. â€œWe want to see guys kick live without tees,â€?

said. â€œWe were very small in numbers there last year. Weâ€™re not a program that wants to rely on junior colleges, but if we have an immediate need, weâ€™ll go that route.â€? With all three players getting a semester head start on the teamâ€™s offseason lifting and conditioning program, Clawson hopes that they will be able to compete for starting jobs in the fall. â€œItâ€™s great that we have three players already lifting with the team who will be a part of spring practice on the o-line,â€? Clawson said.

ondary went down with injuries and after starting cornerback Robert Lorenzi was dismissed from the team. The Falcons received strong contributions from former walk-ons Jovan Leacock and Cameron Truss â€” who are now both on scholarship â€” but Clawson still felt a strong need to strengthen the numbers in the defensive backfield. â€œWe signed five guys in the secondary who we feel can make an impact for us right away,â€? Clawson said. Of the five incoming members of the secondary, four are from Florida. â€œWe went down to Florida to get faster,â€? Clawson said. â€œWe were very specific with what we were looking for down there. We wanted to get guys with documented speed.â€?

for players that have had past success on the team level. “We’re looking for leaders and winners,” Clawson said. “When we recruit we asked, ‘Is he a winner and a leader?’ the players that we signed this year fit that mold.” Of those 21 recruits, 16 were captains of their high school teams, and most had success at the state playoff level in high school. In addition, Clawson also addressed positional leads with this recruiting class, adding four defensive backs — a position that struggled last season — and the offensive line — which Clawson said needs to get bigger. The offensive line should have the most immediate impact from the 2011

recruiting class, as three players, junior college transfers, have already enrolled at the University and will be taking part in spring practices. With the class filling positional needs and adding speed to the Falcon roster, Clawson has started to improve upon a 2-10 season last year and fill the role that he was hired for three seasons ago. “I think it’s way too simplistic, to say you’re just expecting that person to coach the team; recruiting is part of the fabric of college athletics,” said Athletic Director Greg Christopher. “A coach’s success recruiting is going to determine the long term success rather than the Xs and Os.”

a program we needed to get faster,” Clawson said. “We had not really recruited Florida the first two years; this year it really filled the need.” One Florida high school that’s produced Falcons in the past, Monsignor Edward Pace, has continued as a pipeline for the program, as running back Anthony Samuel and athlete Travis Greene committed Wednesday. Former BG running back Willie Geter, who finished his career last season, was also a product of the high school.
