Students experience life with unclean water supplies World Water Week raises awareness of worldwide crisis By Asia Rapai Assistant City Editor

Students can experience what it is like to have unclean and limited water sources during World Water Week at the University. The University’s Net Impact chapter has several events planned this week to raise awareness and funds to improve the quality of water in underdeveloped countries. World Water Week was started by the United Nations to spread awareness about the world’s water crisis, according to the University’s World Water Week website, w w w.bgsuwaterweek.org. The week’s events include Tshirt and “dirty” water bottle sales, three-mile water walks and transforming the campus into a “village.” Freshman Net Impact member Wesley Henderson has been involved with planning World

Water Week since October. Net Impact is a worldwide organization that uses business to improve life for people around the world, Henderson said. “We’re a group of caring individuals that came together through business to help other people,” he said. Students from Net Impact will be at the Union tables, the oval and in the Education building from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day this week selling student-designed T-shirts and “dirty” water bottles, as well as distributing information about water around the world. The water bottles were filled with pond water to show the type of water sources people around parts of the world use. The water is cloudy, brown and filled with sediment. On the water bottles is a label that includes facts about

Invisible Children profiles Ugandan tragedy By Danae King Reporter

Invisible Children is an organization with the goal to end the longest running war in Africa. The organization is coming to the University and students can join the effort by simply listening. Invisible Children is hosting a screening of their latest documentary, “Tony,” at 7 p.m. tonight in the Union theater. The film is the story of Tony Bozilo who is a character from the 2003 original documentary the organization made; “Tony” shows Bozilo’s life from 2003 up to present day and the struggle that comes with living in a war zone. The website for Invisible Children describes what is happening in Africa as “a tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims.” The Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel army, started a war against the Ugandan government 25 years ago and several civilians are paying the consequences. Ugandans face the abduction of children to make them soldiers and citizens forced to become sex slaves, according to the website.

“... Not many people even know what’s happening with Invisible Children.”

Children Great Lakes Representative (also known as a roadie) said “Tony” has received a great response so far. “It’s been an incredible response; I mean, I truly believe this is the most powerful presentation that Invisible Children has ever put out there,” Ramsay said. “It’s personal Victoria Sliger | Freshman to Invisible Children; it’s the most Freshman Victoria Sliger, who is comprehensive we have on the coninvolved in the Invisible Children flict, as well as it focuses on issues effort on campus, said why she likes of international development which the organization so much. are just incredible.” “The reason I like it is because The screening tonight will consist not many people even know what’s of the movie showing; a Ugandan happening with Invisible Children named Fionah, sharing her personal and they aren’t even aware there is story; and a question and answer an issue,” Sliger said. “So what we portion.

FUN AND BOOKS Literacy in the Park encourages reading with games, crafts, food HANNAH SPARLING | THE BG NEWS

On Saturday, more than 1,000 people crowded into the Union Ballroom for the sixth annual Literacy in the Park event, sponsored by Joseph and Judith Conda. Along with free food, crafts and games, the event featured childrenâ€™s author Alyssa Capucilli,

who read from and signed copies of her books. â€œEach year it has grown, but this year weâ€™re just absolutely thrilled,â€? said Stacey Dudley, faculty coordinator for the event. â€œWe try to reach more and more people each year, and this year I think we did it.â€?

The purpose of the event which is run by student and faculty volunteers, many from the college of education, is to encourage literacy, especially among young readers, Dudley said. This year, a big draw for the crowd was Biscuit the dog, a main character from Capucilliâ€™s books.

People should help Japanese, others in need of assistance MATHEW DAVOLI COLUMNIST

A few years ago I found myself in a Toledo street after being mugged. I stood in the cold with a broken nose, shattered teeth, a shirt torn and bloodied, and a trickle of blood emanating from my lips. Above me I could see stars, which sparkled and twinkled as they did a few nights prior, when jubilant laughter emanated from my now blood stained mouth as I sat with friends in a pleasant cafe. At that moment I could identify with Meursault in “L’Étranger,” when, looking out his cell window at the stars, he recognized the “… indifference of the world.” Over spring break we all witnessed the seemingly callous nature of the cosmos. Under the same sky that greeted the jubilant college students in America, many in Japan were condemned to abject suffering. At times like these the question is often posed, “How could this happen?” Of course the technical question of “how” is easy to answer; we now know all about plate tectonics and the mechanisms involved. The real existential issue lies with the question of “why.” “Why did this happen?” For this question, answers are not readily available. Is the American more deserving of peace, or, perhaps, is the dead Japanese child that washes ashore part of a larger plan that serves a greater purpose? Did the events in Japan “happen for a reason”? It does not seem to be so. The point, purpose, rhythm, or reason to the event eludes

me, as it does to many others that look on the devastation. As much as many of us may espouse belief in “karma” or some other form of “cosmic justice,” we can see that, at least in this life, the world is unfair. We see that it rains on the just as well as the unjust. We see that the sun shines on the righteous and the unrighteous alike. We may demand justice of this world, but our cries fall on deaf ears. The heavens above us sit with folded arms. As Epicurus would say, Providence is either unable or unwilling to prevent misfortune from befalling us. As the universe has its back turned on us, we need to ask and answer another question. “What is to be done?” Should we despair as Milton’s Lucifer did and say, “Farewell hope,” or should we follow the example of Camus’ German friend, who accepted “… the injustice of our condition to the point of being willing to add to it”? I think that Voltaire’s Candide had the best answer. After his Job-like tribulations, which included witnessing the devastation brought on by an earthquake on a coastal city, he decided on a higher path. Being faced with the injustice of the world he refused the refuge of despair and de Sade-like nihilism. Although he accepted the universe as unjust, he did not yield to it. Instead Candide, recognizing that Nature should not be looked to as it all too often bears bitter fruit, declared that we should “… cultivate our own gardens.” When finding ourselves in an amoral universe, it is up to us to establish morality. Being born into a cosmos devoid of compassion, it is up to us

to show compassion. Being subjected to this unjust and callous world, it is up to us to cultivate our own justice. Do not mistake me for an idealist. I do not believe we will be able to construct the utopian crystal palace and wipe away every tear. It is not possible to “end all unnecessary suffering,” as I have heard advocated by many idealists on this campus. There is no such thing as a final victory. I agree with the wise words of Ecclesiastes, that it is the “vanity of vanities” to attempt to make this crooked world straight, and that all our actions are ultimately futile. We must not allow the Sisyphean nature of the struggle for justice hamper our resolve. We must not allow the unattainable concepts of the best and the eternal to be the enemies of the better and the temporal. Getting back to the subject of Japan, let us take this opportunity to follow the example of those courageous peoples of North Africa and elsewhere, who have taken upon themselves the noble burden to better the human condition. Let us raise arms in solidarity against the tyranny of an uncaring, callous universe and engage in metaphysical rebellion. Just as tsunamis and all other manner of misfortunes know no national barriers, let it be said of our response to them that we ignored the lines on paper maps as well. Let us counter universal injustice with a truly unified struggle for justice. Let us aid those suffering in Japan, so that we may rebel against this unjust world.

Japan’s incredible stoicism provides good example PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST

For the past week, we’ve been viewing the heartwrenching sights of the misery Japan is facing due to the earthquake and subsequent tsunami and nuclear reactor destruction. The misery and devastation have been truly appalling. We’ve also been urged to help out, to contribute to “bucket brigades,” and to assist in other ways to ameliorate the pain and suffering. And, as Lincoln said in another context, “it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.” But, strangely, we are also recipients of a gift from the Japanese. It’s been noted on telecasts by broadcasters and victims alike. What we’ve not seen is rioting, looting and civil strife. This is in contrast to what we’ve witnessed in other parts of the world that have been struck by natural disasters. Some have attributed this to a characteristic of the Japanese culture, something known as “gaman,” roughly described as strength and stoicism. We’ve seen it demonstrated in the long lines of people waiting patiently for four hours or more for gas, the offering of food to total strangers – even reporters, the story of high school students draining their school swimming pool with buckets so that toilets could work. The stories accumulate and begin to form a lasting tribute to their culture and way of life. Robert Brasch, a Japanese American businessman who is president of Pacific Partners Inc., describes

“gaman” for the Los Angeles Times this way: “It means that you have to suffer, you have to hold it in, not let it out. Hang tough. Be tough.” Roland Kelts, a lecturer at the University of Tokyo and the author of the 2006 book “Japanamerica” notes that Japan has long endured natural disasters. These form part of its stories and folklore. He wrote, “There is a great deal of pride in the idea that Japan is a long-suffering nation.” The stoicism is deeply rooted in the country’s history, he notes. So, as we give our thoughts, prayers and donations, let’s also think about the gifts, the lessons we’re receiving – if only we’re perceptive enough to see it. And we see it manifested from time-totime in dramatic ways in our own country. Sunday, November 9, 2008, fire broke out at the America’s Best Value motel in Lake Forest, California. Three young men were walking along the second floor landing that early Sunday morning when they spotted flames and smoke. They rousted their buddies, and then all six began banging on doors and windows, waking people and helping them to safety. Included in those saved was an elderly man who was carried to safety. Nineteen fire engines, six trucks and 100 firefighters responded to the call. By the time the firefighters arrived, all 100 to 150 guests were out, safe and sound. The six young men? They were members of a group known to go into situations that most people would flee from. They were off-duty U.S Marines. They were taught – some cynics would say brainwashed – to never, ever leave anyone behind

and even to roll over on a grenade to save their buddies if need be. The fire chief called them “absolute heroes.” One of the Marines couldn’t understand what the fuss was all about. He simply stated, “It’s what we’re trained to do.” There’s a common thread running through the many stories coming out of Japan as well as the Lake Forest fire: service above self. In this county, most of us listen to station WIIFM – What’s In It For Me – and we’re expected, even encouraged to act in our own self-interest. But, the self-interest should be tempered by the term “enlightened.” We all have a duty to contribute to the common good. “Enlightened self interest” can imply deferred gratification and also suggests that the common good be considered in any decision. We don’t have to endure a tsunami or motel fire to keep the common good in our consciousness. Even the act of opening a door for someone is a good way to begin. Here at the University community, with so much at stake for our future, we should shun the “balkanization” of splintering into little self-centered groups and, instead, concentrate on the “big picture,” the common good.

‘Mind over matter’ doesn’t always work By Chris Freyder, The Daily Reveille (Louisiana State University) College News Network

Diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2005, Seidler most likely David Seidler wasn’t sup- envisioned that he would not posed to walk across the stage see recompense for “The King’s to receive the Best Original Speech,” a project he started Screenplay Oscar for “The soon after his diagnosis.

his doctor noticed his cancer was miraculously gone. Even more incredible was Seidler’s explanation for his cancer’s spontaneous remission — he imagined it away. “I spent hours visualizing a nice, cream-colored unblemished bladder lining,” Seidler said.

I hold the belief that people have largely underestimated the power of the mind’s ability to affect the chemistry of the body. However, Seidler’s cancercuring imagination is too much of a stretch. He was not stupid,, just hopeful and maybe desperate, understandably.

WATER From Page 1 problems occurring in countries without clean water supplies. “When you look at these water bottles, you wouldn’t want to drink it, but these people have to,” Henderson said. The “Shower Initiative” asks students, faculty and staff to time themselves in the shower. Every minute spent in the shower uses three gallons of water, Henderson said. He hopes this motivates students to shorten their shower time. Participants can also get involved by experiencing life without an easily accessible water supply. A Water Walk will run Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. at the Union Oval, where students can walk three miles around campus to represent the distance that women and children in underdeveloped countries have to walk to get their water for the day. “We can get an idea of the trouble they have to go through,” Henderson said. The campus will also be transformed into the “BGSU Village,” where students, faculty and staff will use a centrally-located “well,” or hose, to get all of their water for the week. Henderson said it could make a large impact as the people will use that water for ever y t hing, i nclud i ng d r i n k i ng , cooking, showering and brushing their teeth. Geolog y professor Robert Vincent will also speak about water issues at 6 p.m. Thursday in room 1007 of the Business Administration building. “He will talk about using science to combat poverty,” said Net Impact member and junior Devin Neal.

Neal asked Vincent to speak after having him as an instructor and adviser. Neal said Vincent is a part of Rotary International, a volunteer organization primarily targeted at humanitarian service, and he has a work station in Overman Hall where he can find and analyze sources for ground water. “T he ma i n goa l is to ra ise awa reness,” Henderson said. He said Net Impact also hopes to raise some funds through the T-shirt and water bottle sales. “Caring makes a huge difference; taking action to do something takes it to the next level,” he said. Money raised will go to the UNICEF Tap Project, the Japanese Red Cross and a product called Life Straws. Life Straws filter almost everything except chemicals, which aren’t a problem in the countries with natural water supplies. The amount of money donated to each group would be determined after the funds are totaled at the end of the week, Henderson said. Net Impact member and freshman Rachel Weber said their preparation for World Water Week has been a group effort and that raising awareness will also take a group effort. She began working with Henderson and Neal last semester to prepare for this week. “We just have to get people to care enough,” she said. “It’s just such a problem that’s almost hard to comprehend.” Having water is so simple and basic to us that it is hard to get people to relate to the problem, she said. Students interested in finding out more information or participating in any of these events can register at www.bgsueaterweek.org.

SHOW From Page 1

Any student at the University could apply for the scholarship, and the Delta Sigma Theta sisters determine the winner. This year’s winner was Emily Becks, who was also a performer in the show. The theme was television and Jabberwock was the “Feature Presentation.” The show featured five scenes of models and in between the modeling scenes were singers and dancers. Junior Alayzia Ponder was a model in the first two scenes of the show and said being a part of the show was a positive experience. “I really liked the whole experience of getting glammed up, you know, getting makeup done, getting hair done and the outfits and everything,” Ponder said. “It just gives you confidence when you do it.” The models could choose to buy or bring their own clothes to wear or have clothes provided by stores or designers. The first scene was titled “Housewives of Wood

County,” and after the models performed, a student named Ayesha Young sang “Billionaire,” introducing the next scene “Mad Money.” This scene featured business casual clothing and was followed by “Made: BG’s Prom King and Queen,” in which the models displayed formal wear. During the intermission the scholarship winner was announced, and in a portion titled “America’s Best Dance Crew,” dance team Element performed. Next was “Get ‘Em to the Greek,” which presented members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council Greek community performing. “It’s all about the NPHC Greek community as well,” Baker said. “Since we’re Greeks we have a tight bond and relationship.” The last scene was called “Modern Marvels” and showed off fashion-forward clothing. In addition to the show, Jabberwock offered a taste of art with a display of student work.

“We actually have students from the art community come in and they can display their art work for free,” Baker said. “They even have the opportunity to sell it as well.” Freshman VCT major Emily Reith was one of the students given the opportunity to display her work. She said she had approximately 10 of her photographs on display and whether she would sell her pieces depended on a few factors. “If someone comes up to me and says ‘I want this, this is so beautiful, I want this in my home,’ then of course I’ll sell it to them,” Reith said. The price for her paintings began at $25 for the smaller ones. The event sold out the 500 seats available, with standing room only left. “We don’t just say this is the biggest event because it’s our event, this is really one of the biggest events of the year, and everybody claims it,” Baker said. Jabber wock r a i se d more than $2,000 to benefit the community.

The project will cost $1.5 million, half funded through Dining Services and half through Residence Life. From Page 1 “Last summer we brought a request to take down a Board approves partial demolition of McDonald East portion of the west wing of A segment of McDonald McDonald and this is now East residence hall will the companion piece to that,” be demolished as part of Stoll said.

It this summer and 200 feet of will also make McDonald the wing will be demolished. more compact and “conApproximately 270 beds will ducive for incoming freshman,” she said. be removed.

The remaining portion of the residence hall will also be renovated. It will cost more than $1 million of the Board’s series 2010 funds. “This is some initial renovation that needs to occur, which includes the west elevators and window replacement, but it’s also going to include some planning studies for what may need to come next,” Stoll said. “We aren’t anticipating doing a complete gut, but we can get enough upgrades in there so it could serve students better. It doesn’t necessarily meet the standards we

have for students today.” Future upgrades may include fire alarms, electricity, east elevators and exterior landscaping. “We’re going to look at [McDonald] every three or four years in line with what’s happening with enrollment,” Krakoff said. “We’re going to put money in it to keep this in our portfolio for some time. We’re not going to overspend, but we want to provide as quality of an environment as we can for the remaining years that this building is part of our offering.”

The show included modeling, dancing, singing, displays of artwork and even a little rapping, Baker said. Aletra Baker, senior and member of Delta Sigma Theta, said that the event draws so many people because of the amount of talent and culture coming together for a positive reason — all proceeds go to the Bowling Green community. “We think it’s important to give the money back into our community, into the schools and stuff like that,” Baker said. “We do a lot of work with the younger kids, we do art projects, we do Big Brothers and Big Sisters, we read at the library with the children and we just donate money.” Some of the money raised for the event also goes into a $500 scholarship fund, Baker said. The money raised from selling advertising in the program for the event went to the scholarship fund.

Yellow Jackets use size inside paint to their advantage By Sean Shapiro Senior Reporter

COLUMBUS — Size matters, and Saturday Sasha Goodlett drove that point home in Georgia Tech’s 69-58 victory against BG. At 6-foot-5 inches, Goodlett was the biggest player on the floor, and that size advantage killed the Falcons inside, even when they were able to get the center into foul trouble. “You can’t teach height, and I had a tremendous height advantage over them. In practice over the last

two weeks, I was thinking, ‘You’ve got to be aggressive, got to be hard’ ... I felt like this game would be my game coming in,” Goodlett said. “I knew that defensively it would be sort of a challenge because [the Falcons] are all quick ... But I also knew that they were going to have to defend me also. I had to put my head down and take it to them.” Goodlett scored a team-high 19 points for the Yellow Jackets, and with the aid of some smart

Seniors end collegiate careers after successful run By Paul Barney Sports Editor

COLUMBUS — BG women’s basketball coach Curt Miller will have senior classes come and go, but may never have another senior class like this year’s for a while, especially the five fourth-year seniors: Chelsea Albert, Tracy Pontius, Lauren Prochaska, Jen Uhl and Kelly Zuercher. “There’s not a class, recruiting class, that’s ever had more pressure on them, entering a time after we went to the Sweet 16 and graduated that special class in 2007,” Miller said. “They’ve answered every call, every bell, but more than anything galvanized a com-

munity, just unbelievable.” The fourth-year seniors helped the Falcons post a record of 11025 during their careers, including four MAC East Divisional championships, three outright MAC East titles and four national postseason appearances – two in the Women’s National Invitation tournament and two in the NCAA tournament. BG’s sixth-year senior, Maggie Hennegan, spent two seasons with the team after transferring from Saint Louis University. Miller was proud of the effort his senior class gave against a bigger, physical team in Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech ends BG’s season in first round of NCAA tournament By Sean Shapiro Senior Reporter

COLUMBUS — For the second straight year, the first four minutes of the second half doomed BG’s NCAA tournament chances. Last season the Falcons fell to Michigan State despite entering the halftime all tied up, and it was a lesson that BG coach Curt Miller hoped his team would remember when it trailed Georgia Tech 3332 at the half. “We played a fantastic game last year in the NCAA tournament against Michigan State. Outplayed them, was tied at halftime, lose by 10 and it was all because of the first four minutes,” Miller said. “The last two minutes we spent at halftime was all about our first four minutes and that experience from last year should help us get over the hump.” Unfortunately for the Falcons, the lesson didn’t sink in as Georgia Tech would prevail in a 69-58 victory. Inbounding to open the second half, BG turned it over on a back-court violation just two seconds into the half, helping spark a 12-4 run by the Yellow Jackets and from there, they never looked back.

“If we could win the first four minutes, we were going to adopt all those Ohio State fans. We had an amazing fan turnout, that the pressure was going to turn greatly on Georgia Tech,” Miller said. “Within three seconds, we turned the ball over … and when you talk about something and how key it is, and when it goes wrong, you can see the shoulders drop.” A s BG’s shou lders were dropping, t he Yellow Jackets were soaring. Chelsea Regins scored on an and-1 play after BG’s turnover, and three more baskets in the paint later, Georgia Tech already had ballooned a one-point halftime advantage into a 45-36 lead. “We didn’t come out with the cannon effect,” sophomore Chrissy Steffen said. “We kind of let them gut us on our toes. That’s when we started throwing turnovers and they would get easy baskets. We just can’t start a half like that.” Turnovers proved to be a huge issue for the Falcons, as the hardpressing Yellow Jackets forced BG into a season-high 25 turnovers and limited the Falcons from ever developing an offensive rhythm beyond the arc — something

they’ve relied on all season. When they were able to beat the press, it often took more than half of the 30-second shot clock, forcing BG to take some ill-advised shots and only attempting six 3pointers, only making two, both season lows. “Coming into this game, we just decided to take away the 3point shot,” Georgia Tech coach MaChelle Joseph said. “We gave up layups, but we stopped the 3point shot.” Not only were they able to stop the 3-point attack, but their size in the middle and pressure defense limited any open looks in the paint as well, and BG struggled passing only having five assists — another season low. “You know, they have really good ball pressure,” senior Lauren Prochaska said. “When they set screens, they do a good job of switching or trapping, so it’s hard to the lane and make layups. We didn’t have a lot of assists tonight because we had to make a lot of one-on-one plays.” In her final collegiate game, Prochaska had a team-high 19 points, while Stef fen added 16 on an impressive 5-for-6 shooting effort.

BG gymnasts finish fifth at MAC Championships By Becky Tener Senior Reporter

After landing the final dismount of her gymnastics career, senior Amber Brewer burst into tears — and so did the rest of her team. Saturday’s Mid-American Conference Gymnastics Championship was the Falcons’ final competition as a team, the end to a “rough road” that the team endured this season.

The tears were bittersweet, coach Kerrie Beach said, “for the team, the season is done but they finished well.” “We knew we were really talented and it was so frustrating to not put that team out on the floor,” she said. “But today they did so well and I’m so proud of them.” The Falcons finished fifth out

“I especially want to single out our senior class,” Miller said. “They never backed down from a fight. They’re amazing people off the court and we have proved we can play with anyone in the country, and that’s why we’re one of the five winningest programs in the country over the last five years.” Together the six seniors have combined for 5,469 points, 2,365 rebounds, 927 assists, 644 3-pointers, 514 steals and 253 blocked shots in their careers with the Falcons. Lauren Prochaska has 2,290 of those points as she is BG’s all-time leading scorer and one of the most prolific women’s basketball players the University has ever seen. “It’s been a really special four years for me,” Prochaska said. “I couldn’t have imagined anything better than

what I’ve experienced here. I’m really glad that coach Miller had a lot of faith in me and believed in me. He’s been a special coach to me and has made me a better player.” “My team has been great, they’re so supportive. We’re best friends. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation. I’ve just been so thankful to have the opportunity to play here.” For Miller, it will be difficult showing up and not being able to coach this senior class again, especially Prochaska. “She’s been a special player in our program and will be greatly missed,” Miller said. “What a great legacy she’s left behind, and all of those seniors … it will be a hard act to follow. They’ve passed down the culture to our underclassmen and it won’t be easy, but we have something very, very special over the last eight years at Bowling Green that we’re going to try to keep going.” One of the underclassmen that the culture has been
