so each section would still stand alone with its own classes. Pena said one essential proposal within the new school would be service learning. Students would have a chance to connect with community partners and apply what they are learning in the classroom to real life situations, she said. The department is proposing approximately four classes to become common courses for students in all sections of the school.

Mary Ellen Mazey, one of three candidates for the University’s next president, said she owes her entire career to higher education. “I’m a first generation college student who was fortunate enough to attend public institutions through scholarships and fellowships,” she said. “I know how important this is to students, because higher education has been very good to me.” Mazey, provost of Auburn University, hopes to connect with University students by making their educational institution efficient, affordable and accountable. She spoke to a crowd of more than 100 in the Union theater Monday afternoon. Following a 10-minute presentation, Mazey answered questions from students, faculty and staff for nearly an hour. “I see the role of president as an opportunity to work will all students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of this institution to build its future,” she said. Mazey has been a leader at several universities nationwide, including West Virginia University and Wright State University. She has been provost of Auburn, one of the largest universities in Alabama, since Feb. 2009. Mazey addressed the importance of implementing the University’s strategic plan and recognizing national higher education issues and addressing them at the University. “We all have to think about what’s out there beyond our individual institutions,” she said. “We must preserve the quality of our programs and compete, whether that is within the region, state, nation or world, and make sure the strategic plan is our guide.”

Candidate for University president A successful capital campaign is critical in this plan, Mazey said. “I would like to promise state funding will come back, but I don’t think it will,” she said. “I know how difficult it’s been with funding being eliminated from our budgets … We’re becoming increasingly dependent on how we generate our own funding, so building that endowment is very important.” Mazey also emphasized the importance of addressing the University’s low student retention rate by focusing on various demographic groups. “We need to look at the factors and support services we can put in place for all of our students, but we specifically need to look at targeted audiences,” she said. “I would look at models from other universities and, as always, we need to continually access if we’re meeting a preset goal.” Freshman Ryan Sowers attended the forum with the Presidential Honors Program. “I really liked how she answered questions about student engagement,” he said. “A president has to be engaged and visible on campus and care about what the students want.” Sowers said there were parts he liked and parts he disliked from Mazey’s statements concerning general education. “Personally, I think our general education courses are mediocre

Women broaden professions, continue education PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST
Last week, International Women’s Day was celebrated in over 100 countries. So, perhaps it’s an appropriate time to take a look at how things stand between the genders. There are at least two ways to look at this topic: Economic and humanist. (And yes, even a male – an older one at that! – has some thoughts in this area.) From an economic standpoint, today’s concern focuses on the presence – or lack – of good paying, stimulating and productive jobs. Today, jobs are focused either around people, ideas or things. Although women have certain physical limitations in comparison with men, the jobs of the future will require strong minds, rather than strong backs. It’s less about the amount of iron one can bend and more about the ability to bend one’s mind around complex problems. A look at our colleges provides some insights into this area. Although the student population in business, law, and medicine programs is split fairly evenly gender-wise, there are certain fields that seem to remain closed. One of my daughters-in-law recently stated that only about
30 percent of science and engineering students are women. My other daughter-in-law, who is working on her Ph.D. thesis in physics, also noted the relative lack of women in her field. So, why are women not encouraged to pursue science and engineering careers? Is this supposedly female aversion to the scientific and technical realm hard-wired in a woman’s brain (as Larry Summers once famously speculated before a 2005 Harvard audience), or the result of upbringing or societal pressure? The latter seems more likely. Our nation needs all the talent it can get its hands on. Where will this talent come from? The short answer may be women. However, in areas where there are a relatively equal number of men and women entering college, there seems to be a lack of women in the top ranks. In 2009, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg remarked that it was lonely being the only woman on the Supreme Court; she missed Justice Sandra Day O’Connor who had retired several years earlier. In the past thirty years, women have made strides into many areas formerly populated exclusively by and for men, whether being on the Supreme Court, shouldering a weapon or performing surgery. Neither a legal brief, nor
“Women have made strides into many areas formerly populated exclusively by and for men, whether being on the Supreme Court, shouldering a weapon or performing surgery.” a weapon, nor a scalpel knows whether a male or female is listening to oral arguments, pulling the trigger, or doing the cutting. What is troubling is a certain latent discrimination that seems to exist in both genders. Not every woman (or man) has the aptitude to be a Supreme Court Justice, or invent the next generation of electric cars, or even drive one around a racetrack. A full-time homemaker is just as honorable a profession as a full-time professor, lawyer, scientist or CEO. In the past, homemakers have been looked down upon or viewed as “not contributing” to society. But, what could be a greater contribution to society than caring for, raising and educating its newest members? And it’s a task both parents should shoulder. A woman today needs an education to improve her own future and that of her children. With people living longer, there’s even less of an argument to deny anyone an education. After the children are raised and have left, the next stage of life may require
an advanced education. This partially explains the rising phenomena of non-traditional students. Simply put, an education is never “wasted,” even if it’s put on hold for a time. This also partially accounts for the growing trend in accommodating women who have elected to take the socalled “mommy track.” For example, some accounting firms have established programs for former employees to stay in contact with their former employers and remain updated about new professional developments. These firms are not doing this solely for PR points. Because of the talent shortage, their purpose is to eventually lure the “alumni” back. But, by far the most important perspective in viewing women’s issues is from the humanist standpoint. At the most fundamental level, there are two ways of being human: male and female. They are not completely interchangeable, for example, in terms of physical strength. But women and men are complimentary.
And because we’re humans, all of us - men and women – deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect. Women have somewhat different needs than men. (Should some feminists object to that choice of words, try this: men and women have needs that in some cases are identical and unique in others.) And their viewpoints tend to be different. Justice Ginsburg also remarked that women bring a life experience to a job that men can’t. So how can society assist a woman at the most fundamental level of all, that of being human, so as to maximize her innate gifts of uniqueness, intelligence and free will? Appropriate family planning may be needed, especially for those afflicted by poverty. Maternal and child health is vital for the future. Rightly or wrongly, women usually do most of the child rearing and homemaking. Because of this, they are perhaps more inclined to peer into the future and how their children will fit into it. What about men? How do they fit into this mosaic? Kay Horowitz, in a recent Wall Street Journal essay entitled, “Where have all the good men gone?” laments the fact that an increasing number of males in their 20’s and 30’s are remaining single and
going through a period of prolonged adolescence. She notes that, with the rise in the number of women in colleges and the postponing of marriage, a growing number of young men seem to be more interested in hanging out at their parent’s home playing video games. She may be overstating the point, but only somewhat. It’s completely plausible that some men, intimidated by the growing numbers of women in professional areas, will take refuge in the never-never land of extended adolescence. Is society faced with the prospect of more unwed mothers in the middle and even upper economic classes who want a family and a career, but who can’t find a decent mate? A partial answer appears both equally clear and difficult: men should follow the example of their female counterparts and look to the future, assume responsibility for themselves, their offspring and the future. In that respect, yes, both men and women are identical. We’re all in the same boat. Some will row, some will steer, but all should be willing to alternate tasks, for we are mutually dependent on one another.

Man charged with murder in death of NYPD officer
Police examine casino video in NYC bus crash
NH home invasion suspect: Mom’s testimony a lie
Funeral set for officer killed in NYC suburb
Agriculture chief aims to ease fear on dust rules
Former Alaska lawmaker pleads guilty under deal
NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors said a man accused of shoving a New York City police officer 9 feet to his death during a domestic violence call has been charged with firstdegree murder. Police and prosecutors said Officer Alain Schaberger (AL’uhn SHAH’-bur-gur) was pushed over a railing, fell down a cement stairwell, broke his neck and died. George Villanueva is being held without bail after his arraignment in Brooklyn. He is being assigned an attorney. Police said Villanueva had been ordered to stay away from his girlfriend, but she said he had threatened to kill her. Police union president Patrick Lynch said Schaberger made “the ultimate sacrifice” and urged a maximum penalty if the suspect is convicted. Villanueva is also charged with aggravated murder, assault and criminal contempt. He could get life in prison if convicted.
NEW YORK (AP) — Investigators are looking at surveillance video from a Connecticut casino, trying to establish the activities of a driver whose tour bus crashed in New York City, killing 15 people. New York State Police Investigator Joseph Becerra said Monday the video was from inside and outside the Mohegan Sun casino. He said police want to “recreate the whereabouts” of driver Ophadell Williams from his bus’ arrival Friday night to its departure early Saturday. A 70-year-old man died Monday, becoming the 15th fatality from the gruesome crash. Williams told police that his bus was clipped by a tractor trailer. But witnesses have told investigators that Williams swerved at times before the accident. Becerra said police do not yet have results from drug and alcohol tests on Williams.
NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man charged in a deadly 2009 home invasion and machete attack said his mother lied about his upbringing during her testimony. Twenty-one-year-old Christopher Gribble testified Monday after a brief recess. He previously had admitted stabbing Kimberly Cates to death and trying to kill her 11-year-old daughter in their Mont Vernon home. But he said he’s not guilty by reason of insanity. His mother, Tamara Gribble, testified earlier Monday that she once spanked him hard enough to break the wooden spoon she was using. But she denied other things he told the mental health counselors, including that he was forced to vacuum the house at age 6. Christopher Gribble said he doesn’t have a friendly relationship with his mother and that she lied about his childhood.
SELDEN, N.Y. (AP) — Funeral services will be held Friday for the Long Island police officer killed in a friendly fire shooting. Geoffrey Breitkopf (BREYT’kahf) was killed Saturday night, several minutes after fellow Nassau County police officers fatally shot a disturbed, knifewielding man in a Massapequa (mas-uh-PEEK’-wuh) Park home. Breitkopf was killed outside the home by an officer from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department. That officer apparently was responding to the shooting because it was near a Long Island Rail Road station. Police said the friendly fire shooting remained under investigation Monday. Breitkopf also volunteered with the Selden Fire Department. His funeral will be held Friday at St. Margaret’s of Scotland Church in Selden. His wake will be Wednesday and Thursday at the Selden Fire Department headquarters.
DENVER (AP) — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Monday that farmers shouldn’t be overly concerned that new federal air regulations will hurt their livelihoods. Farms frequently produce dust clouds during harvests, and farmers are waiting nervously to hear whether the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to clamp down on dust and dirt. The American Lung Association and others have called for tougher dust controls when the EPA revises air pollution standards. But members of Congress from rural areas have asked the EPA not to tighten rural limits on the so-called coarse particulate matter. Tighter controls could require farmers to pave more gravel roads or use costlier no-till farming practices. Vilsack tried to ease the worries of farmers. “I don’t think that farmers should presuppose that there’s going to be a significant amount of regulation” about farm dust, Vilsack told reporters after he spoke to the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
JUNEAU, Alaska — Court records show a former Alaska lawmaker has agreed to plead guilty to a state count of letting unregistered lobbyists peddle their ideas to him. If a judge signs off on the terms, prosecutors plan to drop a federal corruption case against Bruce Weyhrauch (WHY’-rock). Weyhrauch is expected in court later Monday. The agreement calls for Weyhrauch to plead guilty to participating in, aiding or abetting a person who is lobbying but not registered to do so. The maximum penalty is one year in prison or a $1,000 fine. Weyhrauch has been preparing for a federal trial, with prosecutors alleging he failed to disclose during the 2006 legislative session that he was seeking legal work from VECO, when the oil-field services company was lobbying the Legislature on oil taxes. Weyhrauch was a state representative at the time. — Becky Bohrer (AP)

BG upsets Northern Michigan in first round of CCHA playoffs before falling to Michigan By Ryan Satkowiak Assistant Sports Editor
During spring break, the BG hockey team pulled off one of the biggest upsets in recent conference tournament play, shocking sixth-seed Northern Michigan by winning games two and three in the first round of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Tournament. It was the first time since 2004 the lowest seeded team in the CCHA tournament won a game. In the last 16 years, the lowest-seeded team has only won two games prior to the Falcons’ series win over Northern Michigan. “I’m really happy for the guys, it’s been a long year for us and from our perspective we feel like most of the bounces have gone against us,” said BG coach Chris Bergeron after the team’s game three victory over Northern Michigan. After losing game one of the series 6-3, where starting goaltender Andrew Hammond was pulled after allowing four goals on 25 shots, the Falcons rebounded to take game two 2-0. Jordan Samuels-Thomas scored midway through the second period, while Ryan Viselli added an empty
net goal in the third, and Hammond rebounded to stop all 29 shots he faced. “We continued to push forward and we didn’t sit back on a one-goal lead,” Bergeron said after the game. The victory set up a winnertake-all game three, with the Falcons advancing in dramatic fashion. Bryce Williamson scored 37 seconds into the second overtime to propel the Falcons to a 2-1 win. “The puck came through from the point and just ended up on my stick and BYRON MACK | THE BG NEWS I just shot it into the net,” CUT: Bryce Williamson cuts up the ice in a game earlier this season.

Falcons defeat Cardinals in match play event By Brendan Packert Reporter
As the rest of the University was on spring break, the BG men’s golf team was in Florida battling it out with Ball State during a one-day friendly competition of match play golf. Normally golf is scored by stroke play, where each golfer counts their strokes and whoever has the fewer strokes wins. However, in match play, the number of strokes each player takes is irrelevant, as long as the player finishes the hole with fewer strokes. If the player finishes the hole in fewer strokes, then they win the hole. If the player and their opponent tie on the number of strokes on a hole, then the hole is halved, meaning no one won the hole. Whoever wins the most holes at the end of 18 holes is the winner. The two Mid-American Conference schools met at the Rio Picar Golf Course in Orlando, Fla. The Falcons had spent the previous five days practicing at other courses in the Orlando area and getting their first outdoor practice time this year.
Drew Preston Defeated Eric Steger 3 and 2 in match play Each team fielded five golfers, and the Falcons chose captain Drew Preston, Wes Gates, Parker Hewit, Chris Melvin and freshman Spencer Berk, who made his debut for BG. The team hit the links against Ball State’s Eric Steger, Tyler Merkel, TJ Carpenter, Tony Lazzara and Joe Gasser. Preston defeated Eric Steger 3 and 2. Wes Gates also won, beating Tyler Merkel 5 and 4. Hewit and Melvin both halved their matches with Carpenter a nd Tony La z za ra, respectively. Berk lost to Gasser 8 and 6. Because the Falcons won two of the match play groups and Ball State only won one, and each team halved a match — the Falcons ended up winning 3-2. The Falcons don’t have a not her tourna ment until April 9, when they travel to the University of Kentucky for the Bluegrass Invitational in Lexington, Ky.

CHAMPS From Page 6 — BG jumped out to a 45-36 lead with 5:02 remaining for its largest lead of the game. The Eagles would cut the deficit to five on a 3-pointer from De’Ja Wills and made it a 49-46 game with 45 seconds left. EMU got the ball back with 32 seconds after Chrissy Steffen turned the ball over, but Wills missed the game-tying 3-pointer and Prochaska made 2 of 3 free throws to make it a twopossession game in the closing seconds. “If there was anything I could do to reverse the script and buy a few baskets there in the last minute of the game I certainly would do that,” said Eagles’ coach AnnMarie Gilbert. “We were always in the game but could never quite overtake the game.” Tavelyn James had 19 points and seven rebounds for the Eagles and Cassie Schrock and Sydney Huntley finished with nine and eight points, respectively.
