New residence halls attract upperclassmen By Alex Aspacher Reporter

More students will live on campus in the fall compared to last year as new residence halls open, which intend to draw new students and increase the quality and attractiveness of life on campus for upperclassmen. Residence Life expects about 7,000 on-campus students this fall, up from about 6,200 last year, said Jennifer Kilian, senior coordinator of housing assignments. Falcon Heights and Centennial Hall will provide new housing and dining options that are already popular, said Tim Shaal, associate director of Residence Life. “We hope they will provide some different room types and living opportunities that will draw students who would look for apartments or other off-campus housing,” Shaal said. “The opportunity (for students) to live with friends but still be close to campus and have the convenience of being near

BRIEF

President announces death of bin Laden WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Osama bin Laden, the glowering mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed thousands of Americans, was killed in an operation led by the United States. A small team of Americans carried out the attack and took custody of bin Laden’s remains, the president said Sunday in a dramatic late-night statement at the White House. A jubilant crowd gathered outside the White House as word spread of bin Laden’s death after a global manhunt that lasted nearly a decade. “Justice has been done,” the president said. — Julie Pace and Matt Apuzzo (AP)

dining halls and their classes is part of why we built these halls.” The University’s website states that Falcon Heights can hold up to 646 residents in four-bedroom suites with two bathrooms and a common living room. Centennial Hall has traditional two-person rooms and capacity for 664. Both residence halls will have air conditioning, wireless Internet and other amenities. Kilian said Falcon Heights is already completely booked by upperclassmen, and Centennial Hall by freshmen. A waiting list will be available for students who want to be considered for potential openings in the new residence halls, Shaal said. Suites in Offenhauer and Founders are also full, and more than 2,000 incoming students have yet to be placed in vacancies in Harshman, Kreischer, Conklin, Kohl and part of McDonald, Kilian said. McDonald East will be closed

Child slept through family’s homicide By Dan Sewell and Kantele Franko The Associated Press

WEST UNION, Ohio (AP) — An 8-year-old girl apparently slept through the fatal shootings of four family members, then awoke and alerted a neighbor that something horrible had happened overnight, pointing investigators to the rural home, where they found a television in her bedroom still playing cartoons. A short time later, nearly 100 miles away, one of the girl’s relatives was killed in a shootout with police, who didn’t know then that he was suspected in the quadruple homicide. Randle Lee Roberts II died in the

shootout in Columbus on Saturday about an hour after the girl went out the back door of her pale blue, one-floor modular house and ran to a neighbor’s home. The neighbor called authorities, who were stunned by what they found at the girl’s home, situated along a twolane highway amid rolling green hills just outside West Union, about 90 miles southeast of Columbus. When authorities arrived, Adams County Sheriff Kim Rogers said, cartoons were playing on a TV in the girl’s room — where Roberts had been staying for several

In the living room, upright in a chair, they found 68-year-old George Stephens, grandfather of Roberts’ wife. Authorities are trying to clarify how the others are related. Investigators believe they were shot with a semiautomatic weapon but still are evaluating evidence.

Neighbor Karen Kimmerly, whose children rode the bus with the Stephens girls, said the killings were a shock to the rural southern Ohio community, which she compared to the idyllic small town on “The Andy Griffith Show.” “I consider this like a Mayberry town,” she said. “This should be a sanctuary.” People coming out of a Sunday service at Bible Baptist Church, across the street from the Stephens’ home, conveyed a feeling of reverence and turned grimfaced when asked about what happened. Several said it wasn’t appropriate to discuss such things on a Sunday. Investigators interviewing neighbors had quickly learned Saturday that Roberts had stayed at the

home but that he was from Columbus and that his wife worked in that area, so they called police there. “At that point, they didn’t know we were looking for him, and we didn’t know he was involved in a shootout,” Rogers said. As Adams County authorities were beginning their investigation, police in Columbus had responded to two calls about shots fired into homes and ended up pursuing a vehicle driven by Roberts. He crashed the two-tone pickup truck in a residential area, fired at the officer chwasing him and ran off, evading authorities for more than 10 minutes before a shootout erupted at about 11 a.m., police Sgt. Rich Weiner said.

Britain expels Libyan Ambassador

Northeast China hotel fire kills 10, injures 35

Researchers find drop in antiSemitic incidents

Palm oil tanker, 25 crew believed seized off Kenya

Thai, Cambodian troops clash again at border

3 bodies found in Mexico mass graves identified

LONDON (AP) â€” The British government says it is expelling the Libyan Ambassador after the British embassy in Tripoli was attacked. Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement Sunday that he condemns the attacks on the embassy premises in Tripoli, as well as attacks on the diplomatic missions of other countries. He said the attacks have prompted him to expel the ambassador, who now has 24 hours to leave the country. The attacks on the diplomatic missions breach the Vienna Convention, Hague added.

BEIJING (AP) â€” A fire at a hotel in northeastern China killed 10 people and injured 35 others Sunday, while lightning sparked several forest fires in another part of the country, a state news agency said. The official Xinhua News Agency said the fire at a hotel in Tonghua city in Jilin province was put out after half an hour. It did not say what caused the blaze. The hotel is owned by the Nasdaq-listed Chinese budget hotel chain Home Inns & Hotels Management Inc., the largest economy hotel operator in the country. A staffer at the Tonghua city governmentâ€™s office for emergencies confirmed the number of casualties but said he had no other details. He refused to give his name, as is common with Chinese officials. The injured, three of whom were seriously hurt, were sent to a hospital for treatment and firefighters were combing the site, Xinhua said.

JERUSALEM (AP) â€” An annual report by an Israeli university says the number of anti-Semitic incidents worldwide declined in 2010 but remains high overall. Tel Aviv University researchers say 2010 saw a 46 percent drop in the number of violent incidents targeting Jews relative to 2009 â€” from 1,129 to 614. But the report released Sunday said the 2010 number was still among the highest recorded since the late 1980s. It says the drop was largely because 2009 had a particularly high number of incidents linked to Israelâ€™s military offensive that year in the Gaza Strip. The researchers found a â€œrising trend in the number of anti-Semitic incidents over the past decade.â€? The report said the highest number of incidents were recorded in Britain, France and Canada.

SINGAPORE (AP) â€” A Singapore shipper says pirates have likely hijacked a palm oil tanker and its 25-member crew off the coast of Kenya. Glory Ship Management Pte. Ltd. said in a statement Sunday that pirates are believed to have seized the Singapore-registered MT Gemini and its more than 28,000 tons of crude palm oil. Glory said the ship was en route to Mombasa, Kenya, from Indonesia when it was believed to be hijacked and is now likely headed to Somalia. The shipper said it is making every effort to secure the release of the crew, consisting of 13 Indonesians, five Chinese, four South Koreans and three Myanmar citizens.

BANGKOK (AP) â€” A Cambodian soldier was killed in fighting with Thailand on Sunday, bringing the total number of dead to 17 as the Southeast Asian nationsâ€™ festering border conflict dragged on. The two sides exchanged automatic weapons fire overnight and before dawn Sunday around the Ta Krabey and Ta Moan temples, which are in a disputed zone between the two nations, authorities on both sides said. One Cambodian soldier was killed by shrapnel from an artillery round, Cambodian Defense Ministry spokesman Lt. Gen Chhum Socheat said. In the 10 days since fighting began April 22, 16 soldiers and one civilian have died. Some 18 Cambodian and 50 Thai soldiers have also been wounded, military officials said.

MEXICO CITY (AP) â€” Mexican forensic investigators say they have identified three of the 183 bodies found in mass graves in Tamaulipas and returned their remains to family members. The federal prosecutors office says two men were from the central Mexican state of Tlaxcala and another was from Guanajuato. Their bodies were among the 120 cadavers transported to Mexico City after mass graves holding 183 bodies were unearthed in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, over the past month. Forensic investigators have been taking DNA samples from people who believe their missing family members may be among the dead. Many victims are believed to be migrants headed to the United States who fell victim to the Zetas drug gang. The northeastern state of Tamaulipas borders Texas.

Snipers nesting on rooftops and hiding in high mosque minarets have kept people cowering in fear inside their homes.

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “Swag around campus all day.”

ROSCO BLAIR, Freshman, Telecommunications

Disregard for others, lack of courtesy trait of college students By Elizabeth Taylor The Daily Targum Rutgers University College News Network

I wake in a groggy stupor to the high-pitched droning of my alarm clock. My limbs feel like lead, and I barely manage to lift my arm high enough to pound down on the life-saving snooze button. I have 10 more precious minutes before the process starts again. But for my three roommates in the rooms next door, this is an all-too-brief respite from the hellish morning of two straight hours of my unremitting alarm. Finally, after flipping the “off” switch two hours after the first ring, I fall out of bed with a thud, not bothering to keep quiet for the would-be sleepers. Forty minutes of clamoring to get ready — 10 minutes late as always — and I walk out my door to see a common room table littered with half-eaten snacks still in their wrappers that I had left during my midnight study session. No time to pick it up now. If anyone really cares about the mess, they can deal with it. I turn my back, rushing out the door to the bus stop. Half the campus seems to be there, heading to their 9:50 a.m. classes on the College Avenue campus. Determined, I push my way through the crowd and am one of the first people on the empty bus. I make my way to the back, sit down and throw my overstuffed backpack on the seat beside me. I could put it in my lap, but it would be uncomfortable. Five minutes later, when there are more students than seats, a girl in a red and black sweat suit asks me to move my bag. I comply, not even trying to hide my scowl. I finally get to class, very late, but whatever. There is no back entrance, only a side door. So naturally, everyone sees and hears me as I walk in and sit three rows from the front. My professor, irritated,

shakes his head as I dig out my notebook and pen from the deepest pocket of my backpack. For the next 20 minutes, I try to pretend that I care, taking detailed notes of every word that drops out of my professor’s mouth. But eventually, the monotony of his inflectionless voice gets to me, and I start sketching geometric shapes on the margins of my notebook. Ten minutes later, I doze off. When I come to, only three minutes of class remain. But I’m done. This guy has wasted enough of my time. So I slam my notebook shut and reach for the zipper on my backpack. I smile as I hear a chorus of pages ruff ling and notebooks closing, obviously following my lead. The professor has no choice but to let us go. What can he do? Yell over us? I head to Brower Commons with friends. To my annoyance I see a group of people tabling for yet another cause. They are always trying to make me part with the money I never have, but I know how to get away. Inside the dining hall, I eat lunch over the light gossip du jour — the behavior of a mutual friend toward his soon-to-be-ex girlfriend. I reflect on all that has passed at the end of the day, and I am self-satisfied. I haven’t physically or emot ionally hurt anyone. No scandals, no conflicts, no pain. The question of civility never crosses my mind. My day plays out like a Homeric quest: I must overcome all antagonists blocking my path as I pursue some ambiguous goal. The need for civility seems artificial. The Golden Rule, my mother telling me to be courteous: These are not compelling motivators to ignore my personal desires in favor of some abstract concept of “civility.” But in focusing on myself, I ignore the unbreakable link between civility and human relationships.

to enrich themselves? Is this another “SWEETHEART DEAL”? (Caps in the original.) If you find this deplorable when so many people here do not have jobs call Sherideen Stoll (phone number given) and ask her why they are doing this.” Well. Preliminary research indicates this to be very old news. February 3, 2010 – more than a year ago – a news release was posted on the University’s website describing Centennial Falcon Properties. Perhaps of greatest significance is the fact that it’s a non-profit corporation. Researching the articles of incorporation for Centennial Falcon Properties at the Ohio Secretary of State’s website reveals that its legal paperwork was filed December 17, 2009. The author or authors of the green flier evidently waited over a year to publicize an already-public fact. Long story short: the flier is yesterday’s news. Why a separate corporation? One of the main features of a corporation is the limitation of liability. CFO Stoll hinted at this in the February 2010 news release when she said: ”This development corporation

PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST

Arriving at my car after classes last week, I spotted a green flier under my windshield wiper. Certain that I had not violated any parking laws, I reached for it. It read: “Notice to the Public. Administrators of your Bowling Green State University have joined together to form a corporation that is building the new McDonald’s Dining Hall here in campus at the corner of Thurstin and Ridge. This corporation, Centennial Falcon Properties, owners (sic) are: Carol Cartwright (President of the University), Sherideen Stoll (CFO and VP for Finance and Administration of BGSU), Sean FitzGerald (General Counsel of the University), Thomas Orchard (Chairman of BGSU Foundation) and Kenneth W. Borland (University President’s Cabinet). They have hired out of town contractors employing people who are non-residents. Why are they not hiring local people? Are they using their positions at the University

preserves the University’s existing financial resources and long-term debt capacity…” Reading between the lines, my guess is that none of the University’s assets will be placed in jeopardy by any project undertaken by Centennial Falcon Properties. That sounds like a good example of exercising fiduciary responsibility. A more troublesome issue is the charge that the five people named in the flier may possibly be enriching themselves through this corporation. Even a casual reading of the articles of incorporation shows that the purpose of the company is to “be operated exclusively for charitable, scientific and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.” This particular section of the Federal Tax Code prohibits any part of the earnings of this type of entity “inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to, its Directors, Officers or any other private persons… .” This exact wording is also contained in the articles of incorporation. The penalties for failure to adhere to this are severe and include the loss of non-profit status and potential taxability issues.

In addition, the five individuals named in the flier are directors of the corporation, not owners. Should Centennial Falcon Properties ever be dissolved, the remaining assets will be transferred over to the University, after paying off any bills. This is also clearly spelled out in the articles of incorporation. So much for those five persons enriching themselves. On the issue of not using local labor: The University’s press release stated that Centennial Falcon Properties would be working “with a nationally recognized developer of student housing facilities.” Quite often, when an actual building contract is awarded and public funds are involved, state law might specify that the lowest bid must normally be accepted. If this is the case, and if outof-town bids were lower, the University would probably be required to accept the lowest bid. But what truly gets my juices flowing is the lack of authorship on the flier. We don’t know who wrote it or what agenda they have, other than merely playing the role of a provocateur and trying to

A look back on the college experience By Dannielle O’Toole The Spectrum University at Buffalo College News Network

Of course, we knew this time would come, and that the legitimate reason we attend college is to eventually find a career and a comfortable lifestyle, but when do we really acknowledge this purpose? It seems to me that the primary reason most people decide to go away to college is to have a good time, and this basis clouds our acceptance of what comes next. My second choice when first deciding where to pursue my undergraduate degree was SUNY Albany. Being from the Upstate area, I could have easily commuted and saved massive amounts of money on food, room and board. However,

Is this seriously my last week of college classes? If you’re like me, someone who loved college, saying goodbye isn’t easy. When I spot a UB lanyardwearing freshman looking frazzled in the Union, I can’t help but feel envious about the remaining years they have left to enjoy being a student. I know I’m not alone here. Senior year marks the process of starting a new and more independent phase of our lives, so it’s normal to feel some degree of pressure, anxiety and even slight depression.

if I had made this choice, I might not have had such an awesome time at college or learned the most important lessons, ones that can’t be taught inside a classroom. In college, you don’t have your parents or teachers nagging you to complete an assignment and stay on track; this is up to you. As a serious procrastinator, learning selfdiscipline and how to manage my workload was a skill that took time and practice. Had I never moved to Buffalo, only down the line would I have learned vital apartment-hunting skills and survival skills. Special emphasis on survival, as I have resided in the shaky

With UB having a mixture of students from all over the world, we have the opportunity to make connections with people based on shared interests, rather than just shared hometowns. The college experience changes our thinking and our way of handling situations and, after four years, the flow of college life has become easy. Wondering what comes next

Another problem I see is that the media doesnâ€™t show the homosexual men and women who live what others would consider a normal lifestyle. The media covers gay pride parades where men look like women, women look like men and theyâ€™re doing things that show the more controversial side of homosexuality.

This only shows the stereotypical aspect of homosexuality, where people are dressing in drag and marching around extremely flamboyantly. This is just one side to homosexuals, and just like other people, homosexuals have many dynamics of their lives other than drag. I sincerely believe that everyone should be able to live his or her own life the way he or she wants, as long as it doesnâ€™t harm anyone else. Not everyone is going to have consistent beliefs or thought processes, but with tolerance and acceptance the world truly can be a better place.

Falcons roll over Toledo, fall to Miami in MAC semifinals BG tennis ends season with 15 wins, one shy of tying school single-season record By Paul Barney Sports Editor

BG’s road-heavy season came to an end Saturday in the Mid-American Conference Championships, as the fourthseeded Falcons lost to top-seeded Miami 4-0 in the semifinals at Ypsilanti High School in Ypsilanti, Mich. BG’s 15-8 record was one win shy of tying the school singleseason record, when it won 16 matches in both 1998-99 and 2007-08. The Falcons breezed past Toledo in the quarterfinals Friday by sweeping all doubles and singles matches, but ran into a RedHawks squad that won 31 straight over a league opponent heading into the match. BG opened doubles play with an 8-2 win over Jessica Parr and Riekie Honiball at the second flight, but Stephanie Danesis and Megan Martzolf evened the score at the top flight. The duo trailed Christine

Chiricosta and Maddy Eccleston 2-1, but evened the match at 3-3 and then broke the tie to hold on for an 8-6 win. The RedHawks clinched the doubles point as Anastasia Dracheva and Cara Wald won a tiebreaker 10-8 over Nikki Chiricosta and Mary Hill. In singles, Dracheva picked up where she left off in doubles by defeating Christine Chiricosta 6-1, 6-2 at the top flight. Nimisha Mohan knocked off Hill at the fourth flight and Martzolf picked up a win over Nikki Chiricosta to give Miami the necessary four points for the match win. The doubles point proved to be crucial for the RedHawks. When singles play ended, the Falcons were leading in two of the three singles matches that were abandoned. Jessica Easdale was two games away from victory at the sixth flight. Easdale topped Wald 6-1 in the first set and took a 4-1 lead in the third set before play was halted.

In the fifth f light, Emily Reuland dropped the first game of the final set, but won the next three against Honiball before the match was stopped. At the second flight, Eccleston won three straight games against Danesis to end the opening set by a 6-3 margin. However, Danesis ended the second set with straight wins, rallying from a one-game deficit to win 6-4. Danesis led Eccleston 4-2 in the third set before the match was halted. “The match was much closer than the score indicated,” Miami coach Anca Dumitrescu said. “I have to give credit to BG for their energy. We did a good job of staying competitive and we were aggressive in the big points. I was happy we rebounded in the singles matches after getting down.” Saturday’s match was the last in the career of BG senior Christine Chiricosta, who finished with 178 combined wins BG NEWS FILE PHOTO (89 singles, 89 doubles), besting the previous total by 25.

Cleveland’s sixth straight win overall increased the Tigers’ losing streak to six. The threegame sweep gave the Indians four series sweeps this season, matching their total for 2010 when they went 69-93. Brantley followed a tying RBI single by Orlando Cabrera by lining an 0-1 pitch from Joaquin Benoit (0-2) to left, scoring Shelley Duncan from second base. Matt LaPorta added a sacrifice fly for his third RBI and a 53 lead as Cleveland extended its best home start in 70 years. The Indians are 13-2 at home for the

BRIEF

BG completes busy weekend in record-breaking fashion At the 102nd Drake Relays on Saturday, Allorian Horne, Jeanette Pettigrew, Allison Weimer and Heather Conger completed the 1600 meters in 3:57.85 to beat the old school record by nearly four seconds. Conger ran the anchor leg of the event as the Falcons defeated Drake University by less than two-tenths of a second (3:58.01). In the 3000 meter steeplechase, Nicole Farr and Barbara Powers finished in 10:54.02 and 11:02.44, respectively. Jessie Rowland also competed at Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, finishing 13th overall in the hammer throw (56.19 meters). Prior to Saturday, the Falcons were in

Ashland, Ohio, for the Ashland Alumni Open. Rowland participated in the elite section of the hammer throw at Ashland University on Friday, finishing fourth with a throw of 57.14 meters. Rowland was joined in Ashland by Ashley Harris, Brooke Pleger and Paige Lane. Harris and Pleger competed in the primary hammer throw event. Harris finished 20th with a toss of 45.29 toss. Saturday, she placed seventh in the shot put (14.06 meters). At Ashland, Lane finished 13th in the javelin throw, her best throw traveling 30.63 meters. BG will travel to Toledo and Ann Arbor, Mich., next week for its final two meets before the Mid-American Conference Championships May 12 — 14 in DeKalb, Ill.

Benoit, who served up a game-ending grand slam to Carlos Santana on Friday night, yielded a single to Shin-Soo Choo to start the eighth and plunked Duncan in the hand with one out. Orlando Cabrera then singled off the glove of diving third baseman Brandon Inge to score

Indians starter Justin Masterson yielded a leadoff single to Don Kelly and hit Miguel Cabrera in the left leg with a pitch to open the eighth.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Zach Randolph and the Memphis Grizzlies powered their way to another playoff upset — not that he considers it one. Randolph had a playoff careerhigh 34 points and 10 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 20 points and 13 boards, and the Grizzlies outmatched the Oklahoma City Thunder inside for a 114-101 victory in the opening game of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday. “We believe,” Randolph said. “We definitely believe. Our confidence is up high. I tell the guys we can compete and play with anybody.” Just as they did in a first-round upset of top-seeded San Antonio, Randolph and Gasol provided

Randolph and Gasol each scored 20 points in the same regular-season game only once this season, but did it in Game 1 against the Spurs and again to negate the Thunder’s home-court advantage right from the start. “I think we always try to do that. The thing is that it’s not always possible,” Gasol said. “We always

try to come out and execute and play the right way. It’s not always possible. Teams are going to adjust, and they’re going to do something different. “We’ve got to keep being hungry, keep being unselfish offensively and defensively and keep playing the right way.” Game 2 is Tuesday night in

GRIZZLIES From Page 6

The Grizzlies racked up 52 against the Thunder, who had bolstered their interior defense w it h their trade deadline pickup of Kendrick Perkins from Boston. That move allowed Serge Ibaka â€” the leagueâ€™s top shot blocker â€” to move from center to power forward and give Oklahoma City two top defenders inside. â€œTheyâ€™re not an easy matchup,â€? Gasol said. â€œTheyâ€™re big and strong, kind of how we are. But weâ€™ve got different ways to play. We donâ€™t just throw the ball in there and try to bang, bang.â€? Randolph started out with short jumpers to give Memphis the lead for good in the opening 2 minutes, then he followed a 17-5 run fueled by the bench with the Grizzliesâ€™ lone first-half 3-pointer to make it answer Durantâ€™s two-handed alleyoop and make it 54-38 with 2:26 left before halftime. The Thunder used a 20-7 charge that spanned interm ission to get back within 61-58 before Randolph steadied the Grizzlies again. He hit two free throws, a putback, a tipin and then a jumper that

caromed high off the rim before going in during a key stretch to keep Oklahoma City at bay. â€œThe one thing that I admire in his game is heâ€™s relentless. Heâ€™s always playing the game. You just know that the loves the game,â€? Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. â€œWe have to do a better job of controlling him and making him miss some shots. â€œItâ€™s not going to be easy, and we know that going into it, and we knew that going into this game. He scores, and he scores in bunches, and we have to do a better job with that.â€? Then, Shane Battier hit a 3-pointer from the right wing when Oklahoma City failed to get back in transition, and Gasol added three straight jumpers â€” the last one coming at the start of the fourth quarter to make it 86-71. The advantage reached 9174 when Battier followed O.J. Mayoâ€™s 3-pointer with a layup with 10:22 left.

Insurer settles suit with former USU frat members

Officer, suspect dead after Phoenix shootout

Police said accused killer avenged shooting of mom

Alabama tornado packed 200 mph winds

Polygamous church dispute may head to court

NYC holds May Day rally for workers, immigrants

LOGAN, Utah (AP) â€” A Georgia insurance company that paid a wrongful death claim on behalf of a former Utah State University fraternity has settled the lawsuit it brought against four of the fraternityâ€™s members. The Herald Journal of Logan reports that attorneys for RSUI Inc. told a 1st District Court judge the company had resolved a dispute with the four men. Court records show attorneys met with the judge April 20 â€” one day before a planned hearing. RSUI sought $50,000 each from Sigma Nu pledge Chad Burton and chapter officers Cody Littlewood, Colton Hansen and Mitchell Alm as compensation for a settlement payment to the parents of Michael Starks.

PHOENIX (AP) â€” A police officer from the west Phoenix suburb of Buckeye has been killed and a second officer critically wounded in an early morning shootout that also left a suspect dead. Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson said the off-duty officers were working a private security job at a nightclub early Sunday. The officers got into an altercation that ended with gunfire. The wounded officer suffered multiple gunshot wounds. A second suspect was also wounded and is in critical condition. Police are looking for a third suspect who fled the scene. Thompson said the shooting broke out just after 1 a.m. at a swap meet called El Gran Mercado that also has an openair nightclub.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) â€” A man accused of murder in the shootings of four people in Springfield, Mass., including two police officers, had escaped from prison to avenge the shooting of his mother, police said. Tamik Kirkland had been missing since Monday from MCI Shirley, a state prison about 42 miles northwest of Boston. He is accused of taking part in at least three shootings, including one Saturday in which authorities said he shot two people, one fatally, in a barbershop and later shot two officers. State police identified the man fatally shot as 24-year-old Sheldon R. Innocent of Wilbraham. The other victim, a 48-year-old barber whose name was not released, was in critical condition.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) â€” Officials at the National Weather Service said the tornado that killed at least 25 people in the Alabama town of Hackleburg was packing winds stronger than 200 mph. The weather service report said the tornado was given an EF5 rating, the highest possible. The report said the tornado was on the ground for more than 20 minutes, tearing a 25-mile-long path across Marion County. It was three-quarters of a mile wide. Weather service surveyors said the twister tossed cars as far as 200 yards and completely demolished a sturdy brick home.

SALT LAKE CITY â€” An internal tug-of-war over control of jailed polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffsâ€™ southern Utahbased church may force Utah courts to walk a constitutional tightrope that experts said could tread a little too close to separation of church and state. The presidency of the 10,000member Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been in question since March 28, when church bishop William E. Jessop filed papers with the Utah Department of Commerce seeking to unseat Jeffs as president of the church corporation. Under state law, the move automatically put Jessop in power.

NEW YORK (AP) â€” Labor leaders from Wisconsin are joining New York activists to march for the rights of Americaâ€™s immigrants and workers. The noon rally in Manhattanâ€™s Union Square is one of dozens around the nation on Sunday marking May Day. Marchers plan to walk down Broadway to lower Manhattan for a second rally there. May 1 is a traditional date for pro-labor demonstrations. Immigration advocates latched onto the tradition in 2006. Labor advocates are protesting efforts to curtail the right to collective bargaining in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states. May Day rallies are also taking place around the world on Sunday.

SCHOOL OF MEDIA & COMMUNICATION FACULTY Demand Retraction of Provostâ€™s Precipitate Move to Abolish Successful Graduate Program

Âť

April 14, Provost Borland forwarded a recommendation to the Graduate Council to close our Ph.D. program and suspend our masterâ€™s. We learned about this decision from the A&S Dean by an April 12th phone call to our director. April 15, the graduate dean sent emails to our incoming doctoral students alerting them that the program was reccommended for closure.

Why withdraw the decision now?

Âť Âť Âť Âť

DEATH SENTENCE FOR PRODUCTIVE & DIVERSE PH.D. PROGRAM We graduate Ph.D. students at a rate far above the national average, and they get good academic jobs. Our student body is the most diverse Ph.D. program at BGSU and among the most diverse in our ďŹ eld.

BAD FOR NATIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMY Why cut a Ph.D. program in the important area of information communication technology when Ohio strives to attract industries that create jobs? We are active in research that ties into local and global media business, industry and development.

NEGATIVE IMPACT ON UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION Our graduate students teach undergraduates from across the campus, helping to achieve the universityâ€™s primary learning outcome â€“ development of â€œIntellectual and Practical skillsâ€? â€“ particularly in communication, writing and presentation skills.

Tornado victims seek comfort in Sunday services BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) â€” Macolee Muhammed accepted the prayer of a relief worker who stopped by what was left of her Birmingham home. It didnâ€™t matter that she was Muslim and he was a Southern Baptist. â€œIf you came here to help, the only person who sent you was God,â€? she said. The storms that roared across the South last week flattened churches and crushed the homes of pastors and parishioners in a ragged stretch from Mississippi to Virginia. At least 342 people were killed and thousands more hurt. So on the first Sunday after the disaster, believers streamed into houses of worship to give thanks for being spared, to mourn the dead and to ponder impossible questions. Why did some survive without any explanation? Why did others die for no apparent reason? Many people in this highly religious region saw God at work, even amid the devastation.

â€œGod just put his big old arms around us,â€? said Peggy Blevins, 59, of Rainsville, Ala. â€œI donâ€™t understand why He takes some people and leaves others. But I thank him just the same for protecting us.â€? When the storm drew near, she and her family hid in a hallway of their house. She believes they survived only because some trees fell on the house, pinning it down and preventing the tornado from hurling it through the air. â€œTo some people it might sound cold, but God does have a plan,â€? Blevins said. â€œI know I sound like one of those Southern Baptists, but I am.â€? In most small towns around here, churches serve as com-

Besides Sunday services, they host Boy Scout troop meetings, neighborhood voting, bake sales, basketball games and Wednesday night prayer meetings. Some churches were wiped out. Some of those left standing have become headquarters for rebuilding. American Christian Academy, a private school in Tuscaloosa, hosted a service at a football stadium within walking distance of neighborhoods where several churches were wiped out. The school distributed food, clothes, Bibles and other supplies to residents who came to worship. “We’re hoping to feed them and give them some spiritual food,” said Rob Cain, the school’s athletic director and campus pastor. Lisa Thompson, 37, her fiance and her daughter came to

the service because they don’t know if their church, College Hill Baptist Church, survived. They haven’t made it past the police checkpoints that have sealed off the area. “My faith is stronger now than ever,” she said. “I know God will test you, but it can’t be nothing but stronger.” Thompson, whose home in a different part of Tuscaloosa was destroyed by the tornado, said she has found strength in the help that her family has received from volunteers who flocked to the city after the storm. She hoped to volunteer her own time at the school. “I had to do something,” she said. “How can I not? We’re still here.” Disaster-relief groups from various denominations were quick to arrive in shattered neighborhoods. For Muhammed, the first volunteer who emerged was Dustin Casey from Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Muhammed, 61, was full of worries: Were the power lines strewn around the neighborhood live? Can the federal

government help her? She told Casey she hoped she wasn’t going insane. “I haven’t slept since April 27th,” she said. Casey assured her that her reaction was normal for the circumstances. “There is hope,” Casey said. “One day at a time is what you’re going to have to do. This is a life-changing experience.” Muhammed said she had no job or insurance for her house: “For me to start all over, it would be like me being a hobo.” Casey suggested they pray, and Muhammed agreed. Casey thanked God for sparing her life and prayed she would be given hope and see “there is a light at the end of the tunnel.” “Amen,” Muhammed said. Poplar Springs Baptist Church in Ringgold, Ga., has been transformed into an informal help center, dispatching volunteer chain saw crews to saw down trees, handing out bottled water and feeding people who are without food and electricity.
