Performances close Greek Weekend By Danae King Reporter

Constant cheers escaped from Anderson Arena Sunday Night as Greek Sing began.

Greek Sing was a dance competition where nine groups of sororities and fraternities performed to a variety of songs. Each group had a different theme and was required to have at least one person lip syncing at all times. The performance groups

were the same groups students were in for the other Greek Weekend competitions and each group was made up of two to three different sororities and fraternities. Another rule of

SPLIT: Freshman Ryan Sowers from Lambda Chi Alpha shows off his flexibility during Greek Sing. Sunday’s event was a first at the University, but Molly Theobald, president of New Member Greek Council said she hopes it becomes a yearly tradition. “This had been in thoughts for over a year now,” she said.. “We decided that this year we’d take charge and actually make this happen.”

DANCE: Delta Gamma and Phi Gamma Delta (commonly known as FIJI) perform their winning routine for the University’s Greek Sing event. The lip sync and dance competition, which took place Sunday in Anderson Arena, was part of Greek Weekend. Delta Gamma and FIJI outperformed eight other teams at the event, and they also took first in Greek Weekend overall. See page three for more photos.

Cartwright addresses funding cuts at Graduate Student Senate meeting

AIDING JAPAN WITH ART

SPINNING: Senior Andrew Peet creates one of the ceramic bowls, that will be sold April 21-22 at the Clay Club’s 15th Annual Spring Ceramics Sale in the Fine Arts Building. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Mashiko Potters Fund, which is a fund to aid the potters and potteries in Mashiko, Japan.

Issues concerning the University budget were addressed April 1 at the Graduate Student Senate’s general meeting. The open forum welcomed President Carol Cartwright as its guest speaker. Cartwright explained how recent state budget cuts would affect graduate education. “What do we know about the budget at this point?” she asked. “Let me take you back. We have had three mid-year reductions in the last three years. The state share has remained the same during this time.” Roughly 70 percent of the University’s proposed budget is tuition-based with the state share being 30 percent. The state funds its share through taxes, but with 600,000 jobs lost in Ohio, the University has been planning accordingly, Cartwright said. “The federal government stepped in with $9 trillion for higher education nationwide,” she said. “The state used stimulus funds of 16.5 percent or $6.2 billion. Our plan worst case scenario was a loss of 30 percent. But the governor’s plan has held to the best case scenario

and the state stuck to its share of higher education.” Ohio Rep. Randy Gardner spoke at a GSS Brown Bag Lunch in November. He said nearly $618 million will be deducted from the state budget for higher education. “I want people to become familiar with the state budget and how difficult it is to balance,” he said. “As we make decisions based on priority, it is very challenging to see how there won’t be some reductions made in every department and agency.” At the graduate level, University administrators recently announced plans to reduce funding by more than 25 percent. If the budget is approved in June, graduate education will be impacted drastically. “In the next two years, funding for graduate education will be reduced $12 million out of a $25 million proposal,” said Steve Dinda, president of GSS. “That’s a major problem that needs to be addressed quickly.”

SPORTS Defense shines in scrimmage

By July 1, restrictions on spending will reduce state funds, limiting several Ohio institutions. A potential tuition increase of roughly $291 per year, per student would help ease state funding, Cartwright said. “There is a 3.5 (percent) cap on fees and tuition but we might not go that high,” she said. “As a university community, we believe that a cap is not a good thing and that the deans should have the right to set the pricing accordingly. But the state has not embraced this idea.” However, 48 percent of the University’s proposed budget cuts would be absorbed by graduate education funds. “There are roughly 3,000 full-time graduate students studying at the University,” Dinda said. “That represents 10 percent of the whole student body. In the end we’ll be cut back $9 million per year, that’s 30 percent of our budget. It really raises an eyebrow of what graduate education means to this university.” The next GSS meeting will be at 3:30 p.m. in the McFall Center April 15 and is open to the public. Dinda and other members of GSS welcome anyone interested in discussing the future of graduate education at the University.

GREEK From Page 1 Greek Sing was that the teams have no less than 10 people performing at one time and no more than 50. The New Member Greek Council hosted the event, and it was presided over by four judges. The judges included the Vice President of Student Affairs Deanna Vatan Woodhouse, Lakeshia Dowlen of the Office of Residence Life, Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Chris Bullins, as well as a member of SICSIC and Lauren Hesley, a junior and member of the University Dance Team. “The teams were judged on complexity, appearance, originality, humor, energy and synchronization of their routine,” said Claire Lambert, the vice president of administration and scholarship for the NMGC. Hesley said she judged most heavily on the teams’ energy.

“I’m a big person on energy, so I judged the hardest on energy because you can make any dance awesome if you have energy,” Hesley said. Lambert helped plan the event and she said she was happy with how it went. “It went phenomenal, better than I thought,” Lambert said. “I think it showed that everybody can come together, have fun, nobody’s holding grudges against each other, definitely meet new people and create friendships outside of everybody’s chapter.” Lauren Barr, freshman and a member of Chi Omega, participated in her team’s performance. “I think it went really well, we hit all our stunts and I had a really good time,” Barr said. “It definitely made me a better dancer and just brought the Greek community closer.” The team of Delta Gamma, Phi Gamma Delta and Omega Phi Alpha Service Sorority won Greek Sing.

“It was a great experience,” said sophomore Dan Estrada, a member of Phi Gamma Delta. “We’ll definitely do it next year, we have to defend our title.” Lambert said she was really happy with how Greek Sing went. “The whole goal of Greek Sing was to unify all the Greek community, all the councils. Let’s bring everybody together at the end of the weekend and make sure they had a fun time and that they had lots of spirit and just show everybody that it’s great to have a sisterhood bond and a brotherhood bond in the Greek community and to destroy all stereotypes.” The awards ceremony followed directly after Greek Sing and awards were given for each Greek Weekend event, as well as a few additional awards. The overall winners of Greek Weekend were also the winners of Greek Sing, the team of Delta Gamma, Phi Gamma Delta and Omega Phi Alpha Service Sorority.

Ohio EPA wants property around former nuclear production plant Land purchased would protect water near radioactive groundwater MIAMISBURG, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency plans to offer a total of about $13.7 million to property owners who promise not to develop land neighboring a Cold Warera nuclear production plant in southwest Ohio. The money comes from a nearly three-year-old settlement in which the U.S. Department of Energy paid the state to settle damages over contaminated ground water at the Feed Materials Production Center at Fernald, about 20 miles northwest of Cincinnati. A goal is to conserve groundwater and a nearby stream, Ohio EPA spokeswoman Heather Lauer told The Columbus Dispatch for a Sunday report. The land is part of a 9,000acre area north and west

of Fernald, which is now a nature preserve with a Cold War exhibit. The agency, along with the Three Valley Conservation Trust, will meet with residents Wednesday to discuss its proposals. The trust would hold the easements and monitor the protected land. “It is a natural resource that we want to protect for the future,” Lauer said. Shrouded in secrecy for years, the Fernald facility processed uranium metal for nuclear weapons from 1952 to 1989. It gained national notoriety in the 1980s with media reports on site emissions and residents’ concerns over radioactive contamination of air, soil and groundwater. The Department of Energy officially completed a $4.4 billion site cleanup in 2007.

More than 1 million tons of radioactive waste was shipped to storage and disposal sites in Nevada, Utah and Texas. About 4.7 million tons of low-level waste remain in a fenced-off 110acre pile encased in liners and caps. Fernald groundwater will be pumped and treated for several years until a drinking water standard is met. Lauer said preservation efforts would help protect an aquifer that flows toward radioactive groundwater, also helping the government with costs of filtering tainted groundwater. The Dispatch reports that it’s not clear how many neighboring property owners would be offered money for preservation agreements or how much land would be preserved.

Unions should not be stripped of rights, but Most US remakes of membership, support should be voluntary shows dilute quality PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST

Sooner or later, someone will ask my opinion of Senate Bill 5. Taking Mark Twain’s dictum to heart (“Always tell the truth. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”), I’ll simply state that I support it but with reservations. I’ll probably be reminded that the Faculty Senate opposes it; that SB 5 is an unfair attempt to achieve state solvency “on the backs of the middle class” and that my own church supports unionism. This would be evidence that the questioner is probably not as interested in my reply as in pursuing his or her own viewpoint. SB 5 contains a number of provisions. The actual bill exceeds 300 pages. I doubt many have even bothered to read the legislation cover to cover – including yours truly. The most widely publicized changes in SB 5 are the elimination of collective bargaining by state workers for health care, sick time and pension benefits. State workers would also be barred from striking and automatic pay raises would be eliminated, replaced by merit-based pay increases. The unions and their sympathizers are in high dungeon over SB 5. Among their many claims is that SB 5 will eliminate “collective bargaining rights.” But, as I understand it, collective bargaining for wages is not eliminated. Repeat: collective bargaining for wages is not eliminated. Let’s parse some words being bandied about rather carelessly in this debate. Since SB 5 affects teachers and educators (who are presumably well-trained in critical thinking), we should all agree that the use and meaning of words is crucial to how an intelligent discussion is framed and pursued.

Specifically, we need to distinguish between a “right” and a “license.” These two terms are often – and erroneously – used interchangeably. A “right” is a freedom, usually found in natural law, to engage in a certain type of behavior. The right to life, freedom of speech, and the right of assembly are examples, which are enshrined in American law. The government did not grant them, and they can be curtailed only in special circumstances. A “license,” on the other hand, is a permit, granted by a governmental authority, to engage in a particular action, e.g., to drive a car, erect a building, or serve alcoholic beverages. “Licenses” are usually more restrictive than “rights” and are subject to greater regulation by legal authorities. In 1983, Ohio granted state workers permission to organize and collectively bargain. This was a “license” which could be amended or eliminated by the General Assembly of Ohio (those who have the power to give also have the power to revoke). To equate the license to collectively bargain with a “right” is simply incorrect and self-serving. As an analogy, if we define a dog’s tail as a “leg” and then ask how many legs the dog has, the answer is not five. It’s four; calling a tail a “leg” does not make it a leg. Similarly, using the phrase “collective bargaining rights” does not elevate collective bargaining to any status other than the license granted by the Ohio General Assembly. It also appears some of the furor developed over SB 5 is as much a flexing of muscles by union officials as it is concern for the rank-and-file. Quite simply, it’s all about power. This power can be manifested in many ways. It would be interesting to know how many union members would actually rather not sign the petition to put SB 5 on a

referendum, but will do so because of peer pressure at a union meeting. When a group of people at a meeting begins shouting and stamping in support of something and being led on by the speaker, I begin to wonder. True, many of these union meetings are designed to “rally the troops” or to become fodder for the six o’clock news, but a quote from Sam Rayburn, the iconic Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, comes to mind: “Whenever everyone’s thinking alike, no one’s thinking very much.” The fundamental problem with the labor movement, as is presently constituted in this country, is its denial of freedom. If we, as thinking and free human beings, have the right to free speech, we also have the right to be silent. We have the right to worship or not to worship. We have the right to associate with likeminded people, or we have the right to stay home. Those who wish to join a union should be free to do so; those who decline should have their lives—and their wallets — remain undisturbed. To demand that someone pay a “fair share,” even if not a union member, is the moral equivalent to being told to pay for a “benefit” that was not sought after (so much for freedom of choice). To the objection by the questioner that the Faculty Senate opposes SB 5, my response would be a shrug of the shoulders and a gentle reply that at one time nearly everyone thought the world was flat. Social, as well as scientific, dilemmas are not normally solved by consensus. Complex problems will not be solved by sign-carrying people chanting slogans, no matter how well intentioned they may be.

Tokyo governor re-elected despite tsunami gaffe

Bomb kills 3 tribal elders in Western Afghanistan

Yemen solution sought by Gulf foreign ministers

UAE detains another democracy activist, academic

Libyan forces shoot down 2 rebel helicopters

Filipino troops defuse 3rd bomb after hostel blast

TOKYO (AP) — Tokyo’s governor won re-election Sunday, exit polls showed, despite a gaffe in which he suggested a March earthquake and tsunami were “divine punishment” for Japan. Shintaro Ishihara, 78, had been expected to secure his fourth four-year-term in the gubernatorial race, and polls by public broadcaster NHK confirmed his victory after voting finished late Sunday. Election official Yuji Miura said official results would be available Monday. Just days after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami swept over the country’s Northeast, Ishihara caused a stir with his comments. “We need to wash away our egoism with this tsunami. Really, I believe this is divine punishment,” he told reporters March 14. After a public outcry, he retracted the remarks and apologized a day later.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A roadside bomb killed three tribal elders in Western Afghanistan Sunday, possibly in retaliation for their cooperation with the government. The men were driving to a meeting with villagers and other tribal elders to discuss what sort of projects the Afghan government and international donors should fund when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb, killing all of them, officials said. One of the dead, Sayid Ahmad, was the head of the group of tribal elders who organized the meeting, said Abdul Basir Kherkywi, the head of Farah Province’s local council. The meeting was common knowledge in the area and officials said the men were probably directly targeted. “The enemy probably knew they’d be driving on this road,” said Yonus Rasouli, the deputy governor. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but the Taliban and other insurgent groups regularly target Afghans working with the government or international forces.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Tens of thousands of protesters seeking the ouster of Yemen’s president marched in the capital Sunday, as the region’s foreign ministers reviewed troubled efforts to negotiate the terms of his resignation. Sunday’s protest in Sanaa came a day after renewed clashes between demonstrators and security forces there. Witnesses said police fired a barrage of tear gas late Saturday and that many demonstrators suffered breathing problems. Embattled Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, once a key U.S. ally in the war against the al-Qaida terror network, has tried to cling to power despite two months of near-daily protests calling for his resignation. Last week, he rejected a mediation offer by the Gulf Cooperation Council, saying the six-nation group was meddling in Yemen’s affairs. The council had invited Saleh and Yemen’s opposition groups to Saudi Arabia for talks on a proposal that the president hand over power to his deputy in return for immunity from prosecution for him and his family.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have detained two more activists advocating democratic reforms in the oil-rich Gulf nation where most political activity is banned, a lawyer said Sunday. The pair includes one of the country’s most outspoken academics, Nasser bin Ghaith, who is a financial analyst and an economics professor at the Abu Dhabi branch of Paris’ Sorbonne university. He was detained Sunday in Dubai, said Mohammed al-Mansouri, the lawyer and a fellow activist. He has frequently criticized the Gulf region’s ruling sheiks for refusing to consider all but the most limited of political reforms and for failing to provide a legal framework for the staggering economic development of the past decade.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan government forces shot down two U.S.-built attack helicopters being used by rebel forces in the east of the country, the deputy foreign minister said early on Sunday. Khaled Kaim slammed the international community for allowing rebel forces to operate aircraft despite the existence of a no-fly zone over the country following U.N. Security Council resolution 1973. “A clear violation was committed by the rebels to resolution 1973 relating to the no-fly zone. The rebels used two Chinook helicopters and they were shot down” near the eastern oil facilities of Brega, he said. The report could not be confirmed with the rebels, but journalists in the area did describe seeing at least one attack helicopter apparently fighting for the rebels in the area Saturday. Most aircraft used by the Libyans, whether government or rebel forces, are Russian made.

LAMITAN, Philippines (AP) — Army troops defused a powerful bomb outside a school Sunday in the same Southern Philippine province where the night before a blast destroyed a lodging house and another explosive was found near a hotel in attacks blamed on Abu Sayyaf extremists. Although it has been crippled by years of U.S.-backed Philippine offensives, the Abu Sayyaf has endured and continued to be blamed for bombings, kidnappings for ransom, extortion and other acts of banditry in at least four impoverished southern provinces. Washington has blacklisted the al-Qaida-linked group as a terrorist organization. An army ordnance team safely defused the bomb, believed to be made from ammonium nitrate and attached to two cellular phones, after patrolling soldiers discovered the explosive in a biscuit can in front of a school compound in Lamitan town in the island province of Basilan, provincial military commander Col. Alex Macario said.

Hamas makes appeal to Israel to halt fighting Gaza’s deputy foreign minister offers to stop rocket fire if Israel stops its operations By Amy Teibel The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — A senior member of Gaza’s ruling Hamas movement Sunday made a rare appeal to the Israeli public for a halt to the escalating cross-border fighting, telling an Israeli radio station in fluent Hebrew that Hamas is ready to stop its rocket fire if Israel ends its attacks on Gaza.

the military was told to “continue to operate against terrorists in order to stop the (rocket) fire on Israel.” Hamas’ deputy foreign minister, Ghazi Hamad, delivered the message to state-run Israel Radio. “We are interest-

Defense outlasts offense in final scrimmage before annual spring game Friday By Sean Shapiro Web Editor

In the final scrimmage before Friday’s spring game, the BG defense had the better outing, piecing together a 67-48 victory. Using coach Dave Clawson’s unconventional scoring system — points are awarded for various tasks including sacks, turnovers and touchdowns — the defense was lead by Cameron Truss’ pair of interceptions, one of which was a pick-6 that went roughly 75 yards for the score. “Today we came out here and wanted to give everything we got and improve from the last scrimmage,” Truss said. “We got great pressure from our d-line, and that’s why I was able to get the picks.” Last Saturday it was the offense who had the upper hand in the scrimmage, something the defensive players harped on this week and used as motivation to outperform their offensive counterparts. It was a fact evidenced by the amount of celebration the defensive players would put on display after a big stop or turnover. “We’re treating these practices just like a game situation, so we’re going to go hard, we’re going to celebrate and we’re going to have

One group that had a good time Saturday was the defensive line, as they’ve continued to mesh as a group throughout spring camp, a positive sign for the Falcons after the position struggled last season. “I thought our defensive line played very well today,” Clawson said. “Chris Jones is a very good football player, and Kevin Alvarado was very active. And Ted Ouellet is having a good spring for us — he is turning himself into a good football player for us. I thought our defensive line was very active and our secondary made some good breaks on the ball.” In addition to Truss’ pair of interceptions, Dwayne Woods had a pick during an overtime simulation — on

Falcons set personal records, take first at Ohio Invitational By The BG News Sports Staff

TYLER STABILE | THE BG NEWS

SPRINT: Sophomore Jeanette Pettigrew competes in a race at the MAC Indoor Championships in February. Petigrew swept all three of her races Saturday.

The BG track and field team earned its first win of the outdoor season Saturday as it won the Ohio Invitational in Athens, Ohio. The Falcons finished with 194 points in the 19-event schedule, surpassing secondplace Toledo (138) and thirdplace Ohio (135). Marshall finished fourth with 63 points. After a fourth-place finish at the Ohio Invitational last year, BG set nearly two dozen personal records on the campus of Ohio University. Jessie Rowland continued to move up the all-time school record list in the hammer throw with a toss of 56.10 meters, ranking fourth in school history. Rowland’s toss won the event and earned BG 10 points. In the shot put, Ashley Harris won with a personalbest throw of 14.52 meters. Harris also placed fourth in both the discus (38.04 meters) and hammer throw (46.73). Tatijana Jacobson also found success in a field event as her leap of 1.67 meters won the high jump. Her leap was just shy of the MAC-leading mark she set last week at the Toledo Collegiate Challenge.

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU

In the track events, Jeanette Pettigrew swept all three races she competed in. Pettigrew finished the 100-meter dash in 11.98 seconds, improving on her time from the Toledo Collegiate Challenge, as it was the second-best time in the MAC this season. Pettigrew went on to win the 200 meter dash in 25.44 seconds and then joined Felicia Jefferson, Allorian Horne and Erika Schmidt to win the 4x100meter relay in 47.83 seconds, defeating Marshall by just over one second. In both the 800 and 1500meter races, four Falcons set personal records. Heather Conger set a personal-best time of 2:12.99 in the 800 meters as she took top honors, and Autumn Dettmann, Abby Koch and Caitlin Flack also set personalbests in the race. In the 1500 meters, Dettman won with a time of 4:39.17, while Koch was one of four Falcon runners to set personal records in the race. Rachel Doughty placed second in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing in 15 seconds, while Barbara Powers finished seventh in the 400meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 1:10.95.
