Fraternity formal gathers donations for Goodwill

DANCING

“... we had a lot more people come ... they brought a lot of clothes.”

By Danae King Reporter

SCENE

Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity hosted a Goodwill Formal Sunday night to gain money and clothing donations for Goodwill. In addition to clothing donations, the event raised a total of $20 and 42 people attended.

“I think it went really really well,” said junior Brandii Halliburton, who was in charge of planning the event and also a regional delegate in the fraternity. “I think we had a really good turnout, we had a lot more people come than in previous years ... they brought a lot of clothes.”

Sophomore Sheridan Norfolk heard about the Goodwill Formal from Halliburton, who is her roommate.

“It’s been really cool because I’ve never been to one of the fraternity events,” Norfolk said.

The event took place from 6-10 p.m. in Olscamp 101. To gain entrance to the event, attendants were required to either donate an item to Goodwill or $3. Norfolk brought some shirts and pants to get into the event.

The formal dance featured DJs from WFAL radio, appetizers provided by University Dining

Services and a chance to dance, Halliburton said.

The formal has been going on for approximately nine years and collected more donations for Goodwill this year than last year, Halliburton said.

Junior Sara Bennett and her fiance, junior Michael Boron, heard about the event from their friend Becca Hill, a sophomore and member of the fraternity.

Bennett donated three shirts she couldn’t wear anymore to gain entrance to the event.

Hill, who is the communications and technology chair for Phi Sigma Pi, invited several of her friends, publicized the event on Facebook and even sent out an email through the college of education encouraging people to come.

“We try to make it as big as possi-

FORUM

“We try to make it as big as possible so we can get as many donations as possible.”

— Becca Hill, sophomore and member of Phi Sigma Pi, about the Goodwill Formal hosted Sunday [see story, pg. 1].

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “People that chew with their mouth open.”

MATT HENDERSHOTT, Junior, Communications

It happens to every professor on every campus two or three times a week.

He or she walks into the classroom or lecture hall, unpacks the textbook and other teaching aids, boots up the audio-visual system, and looks across the desk or lectern at young faces displaying various degrees of interest in what is to follow.

A few students are intensely interested in what is to be discussed, a few show a disinterest that would be seen in watching grass grow, and the vast majority lie somewhere in between.

This is to be expected.

Depending on the class, some (if not most) may be attending because the class is a requirement for their degree. The content matter is as far from their field of interest as the earth is from the moon, and they look forward to the proceedings with all the enthusiasm of one facing a root canal procedure.

This is not a rant about the poor quality of today’s students in comparison with their predecessors, nor is it about the “dumbing down” of the curriculum or standards (although there is evidence for this).

What I’ve noticed is that, in general, students have most everything they want, but little of what they need in order to face the demands of college and the working career that is to follow.

Certainly, there’s no lack of e-toys, such as cell phones, iPads, iPods, laptops, or BlackBerry devices.

But these are merely assists – crutches, if you will – in the effort to comprehend and evaluate new material. Most students are well nourished, well clothed and well housed,

so the fundamentals of life are furnished.

So, what do they need?

For some, a sense of duty and responsibility. Far too many exhibit a sense of disappointment when they discover that the course content is neither fun nor amusing, and the instructor’s personality seems to follow suit. Many haven’t grasped the concept that university work is a full-time job. As in any job, there will be portions that are not much fun and supervisors who share the same trait. (Guess why it’s called “work.” We’re not asked to like it; we’re merely asked to do it.).

In addition, some seem to lack the basic skills relating to literacy and numeracy. In short, some are completely lost when confronted with a math problem and no calculator on which to rely. Some are equally ill-equipped when confronted with the task of constructing a cogent English sentence.

Today’s social environment seems to aid and abet the latter problem. With the advent of texting and email, our language has added yet a third “dialect” to the previous two of spoken and written English, and some users can’t discern when it’s not appropriate to use it.

Quite often, I get emails that resemble the following: “hey, just wanted to tell you that ill be absent from class today cause I’ve got a doctors apt.”

When I respond, I’ll correct the spelling, punctuation and grammar in red and include the corrections as part of my reply.

Someone has to; evidently, they never learned it in their pr ior educational experiences. Part of the job of an instructor is to instruct.

On the positive side, some students are aware of their problems and deficiencies and want to correct them.

These students are a professor’s joy. I’m elated when a student sits in my office and queries me about footnote 14 on page 53. This tells me that he or she is engaged and (in my parlance) is “wrestling with the dragon.”

On the first day of class, I notify the students that I’m not an entertainer and that the problems they will face will not be due to me, but will be due to their difficulty in mastering the course content. I will help them, but they must do the learning.

I give no grades: they earn them. In short, I try and convey to them a sense of the personal responsibility that will be required to succeed in this course – and by extension, in life.

Another positive note on today’s students: in general, they seem to be willing to listen to both sides of an issue, unlike past generations. This bodes well in developing that most precious gift: critical thinking.

Long may it continue.

University work can be difficult. In addition, many students have work schedules, and some have personal issues that require professional help. I keep the phone number of the University Counseling Center handy.

The feedback I get from students who have availed themselves of the Counseling Center has been universally positive. The Counseling Office is truly a treasure on our campus.

Like everyone, students are under pressure to produce and to succeed. Some have all the tools needed for the challenge; some lack the required skills and attitudes. Knowledge and skills can be taught; attitudes must be learned.

Accept differences among others STEPHAN REED COLUMNIST

I have noticed a trend of arrogance among two types of people: people who are experts on a single topic and people whose appearance are against the social norm. This trend has increased since I came to college.

To paint a vivid picture, imagine a guitar player sitting outside the BowenThompson Student Union.

He is playing a beautiful song and you want to get closer to watch.

However, as you approach, he stops and says “What?

You can’t play the guitar?” He then scoffs at you and walks away with his nose in the air.

Instead of welcoming you as a member of his audience, he belittles and demoralizes you.

Recently, I’ve had somebody fulfill the pompous, know-it-all, comic book geek stereotype by insulting my knowledge about a particular show. If you possessed knowledge of something that you found interesting, wouldn’t you be more open minded to share what you know? I wouldn’t have viewed this guy as arrogant if he would have explained the story to me instead of making fun of me.

In terms of the guitar player, the best case scenario would be for him to ask you if you

wanted to try playing and then he would teach you a Gchord or something. However, a simple smile would suffice; anything is better than a demoralizing display of pretentious attitude.

Last year, I used to dress up like a vampire and walk around campus. My friends deemed that day of the week “Vampire Thursdays.” You can only imagine the negative feedback I received from this, but when people would talk to me, I would act friendly.

I wouldn’t say “Look at you, foolish mortal. I will drain your blood.”

And because I did not belittle the people who talked to me, and I explained to them my “vampyric get-up,” they realized that I was actually a completely reasonable human being even though I dressed in a different fashion.

Since then, “Vampire Thursdays” have ended, but I decided to try an experiment at a Vacation Bible School this past summer. On the first day of the week-long event, I dressed up in a very counterculture manner. I straightened my hair and wore eyeliner, lip rings and dark clothes.

At first, the kids wouldn’t come near me, likely because of a negative experience with someone who dressed similarly. But then, I picked up a guitar and started playing with the praise band and the kids began to see me as less threatening.

As the week progressed, I

dressed the same, but the kids were more than willing to talk to me, and they wanted me to teach them how to play guitar.

I did this to see if I could dash the stereotype of the “anti-social goth kid.” Instead of ignoring the kids, I was humble and let them learn to accept a different lifestyle. I didn’t act like I was better than them because I was different.

I did it so they would know one person who looks “scary,” and not think of other “scary”looking people as being bad.

Essentially, I was subconsciously teaching these third graders to give everyone a chance as a friend.

Even if they look a little different, as long as they’re not making fun of you, they could be a cool person.

If you have a particular talent, don’t look down on the people that may look up to you. Be friendly and welcome their interest.

Suppose you dress in a fashion that differs from the social norm, so don’t look at other people like they’re weird. Let others analyze your appearance, and you can explain why you’re different.

Who knows, you may influence someone to develop their own creative style because you were so positive with yours.

Journalism profession in danger

By Kelly Hotard, The Daily Reveille (Louisiana State University) College News Network

When you think credible journalism, does the Huffington Post come to mind?

Probably not. A notoriously opinionated blog and aggressive aggregator isn’t taken too seriously in the news business.

Journalism faces an identity crisis as the very definition of “journalist” is debated. Ironically, the Huffington Post is answering this question more assertively than many peer institutions.

HuffPost merged with AOL two months ago today, making Arianna Huffington the new media group’s president and editor-in-chief. She insisted both firms must professionalize their amateurish cultures and promptly

dismissed 200 freelancers to make room for staff reporters at AOL, which will also slash 30 blogs.

But for many of HuffPost’s 9,000 unpaid blog contributors, the $315 million deal produced tantalizing visions of pay schedules. When they realized their status wouldn’t change, immense backlash ensued.

Do the terms “#HuffPuff” or “Visual Art Source” mean anything to you?

They weren’t significant to Huffington, but both embody blogosphere protests against her site. The former is “citizen journalism” advocate AdBusters Magazine’s witty Twitter alternative to corporate media. The latter publication sparked an official “bloggers’ boycott,” demanding paychecks and an editorial overhaul.

A nd t hen nat iona l communication workers union The Newspaper Guild got involved.

TNG requested a meeting with HuffPost’s head honchos. It received spokesperson Mario Ruiz’s published “distinction between our newsroom staffers and our group bloggers — most of whom are not professional writers but come from all walks of life, from officeholders, students, and professionals to professors, entertainers, activists and heads of nonprofits.”

At the new mega-media company’s staff meeting, Huffington herself demarcated the blogging-journalism disparities: “Blogging is ... people expressing their views,” whereas journalism is professional and, by definition, paid.

SHIRLEY, Mass. (AP) — One man was killed and another injured when the two fell out of a bathroom window of a tour bus in Massachusetts that was coming from a brewery in New Hampshire, Massachusetts State Police said Sunday.

Police said Thomas Johnson, 31, of Gardner, was killed when he fell Saturday night onto Route 2 in Shirley. Seth Davis, 34, of Winchendon was in fair condition at a Worcester hospital, a nursing supervisor said Sunday.

The Colonial Tours bus was heading back to Gardner in central Massachusetts from the Red Hook Brewery in Portsmouth, N.H. The bus company and brewery did not immediately return calls Sunday.

NORRIDGE, Ill. (AP) — A 3year-old boy died Saturday after falling out of a roller coaster at a suburban Chicago amusement park, police said.

The boy was sitting near the front of the Python Pit roller coaster at the Go Bananas amusement park when he got underneath the ride’s safety bar, Norridge Police Chief James Jobe said. He suffered head injuries in what Jobe described as “a tragic accident.”

The boy was on the ride with his twin brother when he fell out of the coaster while it was moving, Jobe said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office said the boy died at the park. Police said a state inspector was at the scene.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say the woman who falsely claimed she was raped

by Duke lacrosse players has been accused of stabbing her boyfriend in the chest at a North Carolina home.

Durham police say 32-year-old Crystal Mangum was arrested Sunday morning several hours after the stabbing that seriously injured her 46-year-old boyfriend.

Investigators said the two were arguing but didn’t release any other details.

Mangum is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. She is being held without bond, and jail officials did not know if she had an attorney.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say strong winds have fueled a wildfire west of Fort Collins and forced the evacuation of more than 300 homes.

The blaze has already destroyed an outbuilding, a motorcycle and an all-terrain vehicle, but no injuries have been reported.

Larimer County Sheriff’s spokesman John Schulz tells The Associated Press early Sunday that about 335 homes had been ordered evacuated in three areas: south of Buckhorn Canyon, east of Crystal Mountain Road, and around Redstone Canyon.

The rugged, hilly area is located about 15 miles west of Fort Collins.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities in southern Arizona say a boy and a girl were seriously injured after strong wind lifted the children’s bounce house they were in and deposited it on a road.

Trish Tracy of the Tucson fire department told KNXV-TV the play house was blown across three lanes of traffic and landed on a median Saturday.

Tracy says the children suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The National Weather Service said the incident was caused by a weather phenomenon known as a dust devil, in which a column of air can rotate up to 60 mph.

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Four Gulfstream employees were killed Saturday in a fiery crash of a test twin-engine luxury business aircraft at an airport, authorities said.

Officials with the Savannah, Ga.-based plane company confirmed that two Gulfstream pilots and two flight-test engineers died in the crash. Their names and other background information weren’t immediately released.

The company said in a statement that the Gulfstream G650 was doing takeoff-performance tests at Roswell International Air Center at the time of the crash.

Lynn Lunsford, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the plane had just taken off when it rolled and slammed into the runway. He said the plane’s gear collapsed and the craft burst into flames.

GOP 2012 budget to cut $4 trillion-plus Republican plan aims to boost economy with reduced spending and tax overhaul

By Douglass K. Daniel The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Republican plan for the 2012 budget would cut more than $4 trillion over the next decade, more than even the president’s debt commission proposed, with spending caps as well as changes in the Medicare and Medicaid health programs, its principal author said Sunday.

The spending blueprint from Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, is to be released Tuesday. It deals with the budget year that begins Oct. 1, not the current one that is the subject of negotiations aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown Friday.

In an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Ryan said

budget writers are working out the 2012 numbers with the Congressional Budget Office, but he said the overall spending reductions would come to “a lot more” than $4 trillion. The debt commission appointed by President Barack Obama recommended a plan that it said would achieve nearly $4 trillion in deficit reduction.

Ryan said Obama’s call for freezing nondefense discretionary spending actually locks in spending at high levels. Under the forthcoming GOP plan, Ryan said spending would return to 2008 levels and thus cut an additional $400 billion over 10 years.

Speaking broadly about the proposal, Ryan said it would include: —A “premium support system” for Medicare. In the

future, older people would choose plans in the marketplace and the government would subsidize those plans.

Ryan said that would differ from the voucher system he has proposed in the past.

Those 55 and older would remain under the present Medicare system.

Ryan acknowledged that the “premium support system” would shift more costs to Medicare recipients, especially what he called “wealthy seniors.” He did not define at what level someone would be considered wealthy.

—Block grants to states for Medicaid, the health program for the poor. Ryan disputed reports that the plan would seek savings of $1 trillion over 10 years from Medicaid, but would say only that the details would be in the plan.

In which country is the board game Monopoly outlawed? a. Russia b. Iraq c. Cuba d. China

“Medicare and Medicaid spending will go up every single year under our budget.

They don’t just go up as much as they’re going right now,” he said. Ryan said governors have told members of Congress they want “the freedom to customize our Medicaid programs. ... We want to get governors freedom to do that.”

—A statutory cap on actual discretionary spending as a percentage of the economy.

While Ryan did not specify the amount during the interview, he said it would be at a lower level than proposed

by Obama and would return the government to its “historic size.”

—Pro-growth tax changes, including lower tax rates and broadening the tax base.

Ryan said overhauling taxes would boost the economy.

STEPPING UP: Wide receiver Shaun Joplin runs routes prior to last year’s spring game.

Offensive line, Joplin shines in first scrimmage of spring

By Paul Barney Sports Editor

TYLER STABILE | THE BG NEWS

THROW TO FIRST: Falcons’ third baseman Frank Berry throws to first base during BG’s 13-11 loss to Eastern Michigan on Friday at Steller Field.

Eastern Michigan wins twice despite BG’s offensive surge

By Paul Barney Sports Editor

They combined for 28 runs on 35 hits, but as alive as the offense has been all season, the Falcons would have traded it for a series win.

The BG baseball team dropped two of three games to Eastern Michigan this weekend, a threegame series that saw two bottom of the ninth rallies fall short as the Falcons dropped to 9-13 on the season and 3-3 in the MidAmerican Conference.

BG scored six runs in the bottom ninth in the series opener Friday, but could not overcome a pair of four-run innings and a rough outing from starting pitcher Cody Apthorpe He dropped to 2-3 on the mound after allowing six runs on nine hits in 2.1 innings as the Falcons lost 13-11.

“We made too many mistakes early, I didn’t think Cody threw the ball particularly well today,” said

BG coach Danny Schmitz. “I’ll give Eastern credit, they swung the bats very well.”

BG’s late rally Friday gave it momentum in the second game.

However, the offense picked up where it left off by putting 13 runs on the board while a 20-minute rain delay and high winds slammed Steller Field on Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles’ Ben Magsig hit a tworun home run to right-center field to give EMU a 3-2 lead in the fourth with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning, Frank Berry delivered a two-run hit to right to give the Falcons a 4-3 advantage, a lead they almost let slip but never relinquished.

A 4-3 game quickly turned into 7-3 as Andrew Kubuski hit a three-run home run to right field, and the BG bats took off from there.

After a Ryan Schlater two-run double in the sixth inning to give the Falcons a 9-5 lead, Jon Berti deliv-

ered the knockout punch in the next inning as his three-run double gave pitcher Ross Gerdeman all the insurance he needed as he shut down EMU’s bats for one hit in 3.2 innings in relief of starter Nick Bruns.

“Ross Gerdeman did a fantastic job for us,” Schmitz said. “He did exactly what we needed him to do.

He’s been solid the whole year and that was huge for us.”

BG had 12 hits in the game, the second time in as many days it had 12 hits or more in a game and the second straight game it had scored double-digit runs “We knew after that late-inning rally we had on Friday that we gained some momentum back,” said Berti, who scored two runs and had three RBIs. “We’ve been looking for something like that for awhile now for our bats to get around. To put up 13 runs ... that’s a

Full speed, no script – just how it should be.

On Saturday the BG football team kicked off its first scrimmage of the spring as if it was a real game.

“In a scrimmage we don’t script anything,” said Falcons’ coach Dave Clawson. “The mindset in scrimmages is ‘let them play.’ They have to correct their own mistakes [and] they have to communicate with each other. It’s as game-like as we can make it.”

The team ran about 20 to 25 more reps than it typically does in a first scrimmage, but because the Falcons are young, more reps is what Clawson wants.

“They have to be put in as many situations,” Clawson said. “We’ve got some very talented young men that just need to play, and all this experience is going to benefit us next season.”

The third-year coach was happy with the offensive line, which “looked like a cohesive unit” as it communicated well and the players were on the same page.

BG struggled on the offensive line last season as the Falcons were last in the Mid-American Conference in rushing offense and second-tolast in total offense.

SPORTS BRIEF

Powers breaks record as BG takes third in Toledo Senior Barbara Powers broke the record in the 2,000 meter steeplechase as the Falcon track and field team posted a score of 134.5 points to finish third at the Sixth Annual Toledo Collegiate Challenge on Saturday on the campus of the University of Toledo.

Powers won the event as her time of 7:04.96 was a 20-second improvement over her time at the Northwest Ohio

“It’s always important to do my best, have the coaches see what I can do and just try and get as many reps in as possible.”

Shaun Joplin | BG wide receiver Clawson said the communication of the offensive line was great in the scrimmage, which allowed the running game to develop.

“We ran the ball well,” Clawson said. “I really thought our running backs, especially John Pettigrew, really had some great cuts and they were getting the ball north and south. At times I thought the O-line protected well too. We took a major step forward on the offensive line today.”

The protection up front also opened up a pocket for quarterbacks Matt Schilz and Trent Hurley to step into.

The two looked steady in the pocket and made accurate throws, including to wide receiver Shaun Joplin, who’s fighting for playing time this season after playing in just two games last season.

Relays on March 26.

The meet featured 20 events, and the Falcons scored in 17 of them. BG won four events and totaled 18 top-five finishes.

Led by Jessie Rowlands’ 24 points, BG had 21 different scorers, including Powers, whose record-breaking run was one of 32 different personal records set during the meet.

Eight teams were in the field, and the Falcons finished ahead of Central Michigan by 11.5 points and Toledo by 44.5 points.

Eastern Michigan (164) and Buffalo (150.5) finished first and second, respectively.

Next for BG is the Ohio Invitational in Athens, Ohio, on Saturday.
