When prospective students visit the University on Presidents Day, they’ll be greeted by people other than typical campus volunteers.

The Faculty Association is greet-ing students and their families at the Wolfe Center and the Union while handing out brochures with information about the recent fac-ulty cuts and random University facts. The Faculty Association has been planning some sort of dem-

onstration for Presidents Day since its March on McFall protest earlier this month.

“We want to share information about the cuts in a face-to-face manner, it will be a little more for-mal than the march,” said David Jackson, president of the Faculty Association.

While the Faculty Association is planning to approach potential students, the administration is not planning anything in response, said Dave Kielmeyer, University spokesperson.

Despite this, Jackson expects the University will be almost as open about the cuts as the association plans to be throughout the preview day.

“I think they’ll be very engag-ing with everyone on the issue,” Jackson said. “This has been state-wide news for a few weeks so it’s not like students don’t know about it.”

Along with a greeting to potential students around 8 a.m. and again at 11 a.m. at the Union, the Faculty Association will be taking questions from potential students and their

families during lunchtime in the Union, Jackson said.

Sophomore Michael Hart, who was involved with the March on McFall, plans to attend the lunch question and answer session on Presidents Day.

“I have a lot of questions for them, so why not go,” Hart said. “The deci-sion that was made affects their lives, so I think they’re the ones we want to ask about it.”

Before Cla-Zel became a bustling night club filled with sweaty, drunk-en bar patrons Friday night, it hosted a philanthropic event to kick off the weekend-long Winterfest.

Entertaining roughly 200 people, the Fire & Ice American Red Cross Fundraiser sought to raise $30,000 for natural disaster victims in Wood County. Most proceeds will benefit victims of fire-related disasters.

Money was raised throughout the night from entry tickets, raf-fles, auctions and sponsors, said Chris Diefenthaler, director of the American Red Cross of Wood County.

The fundraiser is a good way to start Winterfest because of its wel-coming and fun environment, Diefenthaler said.

“It’s a causal night out on the town,” she said. “It’s relaxing, you can enjoy beverages and food and have a good time.”

Auctioned-off items included wine and jewelry, and the fundraiser included entertainment by The Bourbon Street Band and a member of the University Juggling Club.

Throughout the weekend, the city and University hosted a variety of activities and events for the community to participate in, includ-ing corn hole and dodgeball tournaments, ice skating, concerts and contests.

The city is fortunate to have the community work together and col-laborate for a great cause, said Mayor Richard Edwards, who attended events throughout the week.

Winterfest started in 2008 as a celebration of winter sports and Olympic champion and native Scott Hamilton’s achievements.

The festival continued to expand throughout the next five years, attempting to add new events and entice students and community members to come out of the house during February.

“It’s a chance for some excitement in BG in February when everyone is cooped up and tired of winter,” Diefenthaler said.

Winterfest’s family-friendly activities have gained traction with some students.

A local business owner is still awaiting trial for his indictment of a handful of crimes including possession of fire arms, ammunition and body armor, said Northern District of Ohio U.S. Attorney’s Office Spokesperson Mike Tobin.

Richard Schmidt, 47, of Toledo, owner of Spindletop Sports Zone in the Woodland Mall, was arrested Dec. 21 after an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that led to the search and discovery of more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, 18 firearms, body armor and counterfeit merchandise from the National Football League in his home and business, according to a press release from the FBI.

Among the 18 firearms found were a vari-ety of assault rifles, shot guns and pistols.

As a result of a prior manslaughter convic-tion in 1990, Schmidt is not allowed to own such possessions.

Because the case is still pending investigation, the FBI will not comment, said special agent Donna Cambiero of the FBI in Cleveland.

A copy of the search warrant could not be obtained as of Friday because it was sealed.

Schmidt is currently in custody in the Lucas County Jail and facing felony charges of possession of firearms, ammunition, body armor and trafficking counterfeit goods, which can lead to a state maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted, Tobin said.

Research on spicy food shows why some people like it hot and how chili peppers can burn calories.

Mary-Jon Ludy, assistant professor and conduc-tor of a spicy foods study, found chili peppers can curb people’s appetite and help with weight loss management.

By conducting a study on the effects of different types of chili peppers, Ludy is looking at the weight loss benefits of spicy foods. The study will be ongoing until the end of summer.

“Research shows when you eat chili peppers that it increases the number of calories you burn after a meal,” Ludy said. “For people who aren’t accustomed to eating peppers or chili peppers, having them at a meal decreases how much you will eat at your next meal.”

The names of those who have participated in the study is confidential, Ludy said.

Trey Cantrell, junior, said he enjoys eating spicy foods because he feels cleansed after. While he

doesn’t eat spicy food for every meal, he likes adding spice to the bigger meals of the day.

“I enjoy the sensation of it,” Cantrell said. “It brings out the flavor of the food, it makes it more potent.”

The focus of the study is on two chemicals that give the spicy taste of chili peppers in food, Ludy said. The two spices, capsiate and capsa-icin, make up the spice of peppers.

“The chemical capsa-icin turns on in your mouth so you can feel the burn,” Ludy said. “Capsiate turns on these receptors in your GI tract, in your gut, so you don’t experience the burn.”

Senior Chelsea Rhodes said she thinks spicy foods just taste better. She said she likes to put Frank’s Red Hot Sauce on ramen noodles to add extra flavor, but doesn’t like feeling that her mouth is on fire.

“It makes everything taste better,” Rhodes said. “I don’t look at it as a flavor, it just tastes good.”

Spicy food has been a part of different cultural

backgrounds and some people are just accustomed to the spicier taste, Ludy said. Also, she found some research has shown that people who like spicy foods tend to be more adventur-ous or thrill-seekers.

“If you are a person who is going to bungee jump or sky dive, you probably like spicy foods,” Ludy said.

While there are thrill-seekers out there who appreciate spicy foods, Kevin Lipstraw, a junior, is not one of them.

“It burns going down and I’m just not a big fan of it,” Lipstraw said. “If I did the study I’d probably sweat.”

The study is being hosted to look at appetite ratings and to learn more about weight management. If students are interested in the study, par-ticipation pays $65. Email [email protected] for more information.

Alicia’s Voice, a non-profit in Bowling Green, may not have to close its doors as soon as expected.

The organization hosted an event this past weekend to raise money and avoid closing down. The event, a “big tacky wedding recep-tion,” took place Saturday night for the non profit, which is located in Bowling Green and works to prevent and raise awareness about domestic violence.

Kathy Newlove, founder and president of Alicia’s Voice, estimat-ed that the event and other recent fundraising efforts brought in about $14,000 for the organization.

This money may prevent Alicia’s

CITYBRIEFNon-profit struggles,hosts fundraiser

Voice from having to close its Main Street headquarters, she said.

The organization will soon decide between educating more women or paying the rent on its headquarters, through which it is able to supply short term items to women, Newlove said.

The next steps will be decided at the organization’s board meet-ing in March, but Newlove said in the meantime, she thinks the orga-nization will go ahead and pay the rent to keep its doors open.

“I’m just very thankful for the way the community rallied around us,” Newlove said.

About 60 people attended the event, which raised money through a cover charge and involved a band and an open bar, Newlove said.

“The community response was awesome,” Newlove said. “We had a ball.”

“The chemical capsaicin turns on in your mouth so you can feel the burn.”

It’s the heartbeat and pulse of the BGSU campus and community

By Alex AlusheffCity EditorStudents returning to the city from winter

break may find themselves a few belongings

short.Usually the rate of theft rises when students

leave because their apartments are unattended

for weeks, said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief

and public information officer for the Bowling

Green Police Division.There were 20 reports of theft, burglary and

robbery in December, 11 more than November,

according to a summary report provided by

Hetrick.Other crimes, however, decreased while stu-

dents were home for break.“Less people in town means less activity,”

Hetrick said. “A lot of different factors go into

reductions.”Factors like cold weather may have convinced

more people to stay home or indoors instead of

making the trek downtown or elsewhere, he said.

Liquor law violations are some of the crimes

that lessen during breaks, Hetrick said.Police made 42 liquor law arrests in December,

which is down from 72 in November, according

to the summary report.While crimes may have f luctuated in the city,

crime on campus dwindled.For campus police, there is usually a decline in

calls for service because the majority of the 6,500

students who live on campus leave, said Capt.

Michael Campbell.There is the possibility for a spike in crimes like

theft, but campus police do not find out until the

first few weeks of classes as students return and

might discover some of their things are missing,

he said.During break Campbell said campus police

have time to focus their energy on tasks they nor-

mally can’t when classes are in session.“We have more foot patrol and are able to check

buildings and have more visibility,” he said.Even with most students out of town, most bar

stools stayed full during break. Banan Alkilani, general manager of Cla-Zel,

said the bar was continually busy during break

due to the fact that they hosted “Club KISS” on

weekends and community members made up for

the student attendance loss.Because crowds remained the same, Alkilani

said there is no surge or loss of fights and sneak-

ins, which he said are at a minimum anyway.

Holidays also may have contributed to high bar

attendance and crimes in the city.Some crimes spike at big party days like St.

This year, sophomore Brett Vermillion aims to be a nicer guy because “it makes people happy.”

Vermillion said his reso-lutions typically last about a month.

He believes it may be hard for people to keep resolutions for a few reasons.

“You can’t be lazy,” Vermillion

said. “You have to find time to make for it.”

A common resolution he sees is to work out more, which he does every day.A past resolution to work out

was a contributing factor to Vermillion’s routine.

time that to remember what we’re here to do?” Solis said.

Matt Haschak, director of IT security and networking in the department of informa-tion technology at the University, will also give a report on AlertBG. Alert BG is a text message and email alert system, in which the campus police department sends messages to warn the campus community of situations., according to the University website. Right now, the program is opt-in for students, who can sign up on their MyBGSU page, but USG is looking to make it opt-out. Opt-out would mean students would auto-matically be signed up for the program.The weekly meeting will take place in 201

This past weekend, Edwards participated in the 10th annual Gospel Fest

choirs coming together to praise and worship. The University Gospel Choir hosted choirs from Cedarville, The Ohio State

University, Wright State, Akron and Ohio University.

said. “They did very well.”Edwards helped plan the event by hanging the fliers, and described

At this week’s Undergraduate Student Government meeting, students will have a chance to learn what the organization has done this past semester, as well as what’s planned for the current one. USG President Alex Solis and Senate Speaker Melissa Dzienny will give the pre-

idea to not only state the goals, but map out how we’re going to get there,” Solis said. “It’s the first time something like this is happen-ing.”

The presentation is meant both to hold the organization accountable for its objectives and also to unify the senate and executive branch of USG.

“It’s about coming together and realizing that we [the senate and executive branch] have similar goals,” Solis said. The presentation will not only inform stu-

City council will host a public

hearing tonight so residents can

voice their opinions about the

controversial rezoning of land

at the corner of Wooster and

Prospect Streets.

While residents will be able to

voice their opinions at the 6 p.m.

hearing, the council likely won’t

vote on the B-3 or B-5 zoning ordi-

nances at its 7 p.m. meeting at

the City Administrative Services

Building. The delay of voting

comes as the City’s Planning

Commission decided to further

examine the proposed ordinanc-

es, which will delay it’s proposal

about the project to council.

While the delay may push a

final decision back to city coun-

cil’s February meeting, some resi-

dents and council members are

happy about the delay.

“The residents believe we need

to take great care of this one,”

said Daniel Gordon, a council-

man who represents the residents

of the area being rezoned. “I’m

not going to support or uphold

anything that doesn’t have their

input involved.”

Residents have been asking

for more time to consider the

ordinance’s specifics since it

was introduced to council on

Oct. 15, 2012.

Gordon supports residents who

have asked the city to slow down

the passing of the ordinance in

order to consider specifics of the

proposed ordinances. Specifics

include potential buffer areas

around what would be the newly

rezoned sites, number of floors

and what business can be includ-

ed in the new spaces.

“I’m glad the process has been

slowed down,” Gordon said.

“Anything we can do to boost the

inclusion of everyone’s thoughts

and opinions is a good thing.”

Now that the process has been

“slowed down,” the Planning

Commission will announce its

recommendation to council at its

newly scheduled meeting Jan. 16,

a better place.Solis said USG

will be focusing on

major issues affect-

Solis said he is also looking to

pass a resolution this month for an

opt-out program for the campus

alert system AlertBG.

The system, which warns stu-

dents and faculty of emergencies

or class cancellations, is currently

an opt-in program, meaning you

must sign up to receive the alerts,

he said.

Solis said he wants the alerts

to be automatically sent to every-

they don’t want to receive them,

they can opt-out of the program.

STATEBRIEFBrown sworn in as

state representative

Republican Tim Brown was sworn in

Monday as a member of the Ohio House of

Representatives.

Brown will serve the third district as a

state representative. The ceremony took

place at 10 a.m. on the floor of the Ohio

House of Representatives in the State

Capitol building in Columbus. Brown was

sworn in by Betty D. Montgomery, a former

attorney general and a former Wood County

prosecutor and state senator.

“It’s definitely going to be a new chal-

lenge for me,” Brown, who previously served

14 years as a Wood County Commissioner,

said of his new position.

Brown also arranged a tour of the State

Capitol immediately following the ceremony.

“That way folks will have the time to see

the people’s house,” he said.

A House session also took place Monday

at 2 p.m. The session didn’t deal with bills or

legislation, but was more procedural, Brown

said. The session formally swore in all House

members at once and dealt with committee

assignments and structures, he said.

Brown and his fellow representatives’

main task during the next six months will be

to formulate the state budget, Brown said.

“We still have a very challenging econ-

omy on our hands and the work ahead is

going to be meaningful,” he said.

Wood County Commissioners James

Carter and Joel Kuhlman also hosted a

reception in honor of Brown Dec. 19. The

event, which took place in the Wood County

office building, honored Brown for his years

of service as a commissioner.

Mayor Richard Edwards declared the day

“Tim Brown Day.”

“It turned out to be really, really nice,”

Brown said. “It was quite humbling to have

that kind of reception.”

Brown spent his final months as com-

missioner by finalizing the budget. His

last day in his Wood County office was

this past Monday, when he packed up his

final things.

“I’ve kind of been getting things in order

so I’m ready to go after the swearing-in,”

he said.

CITY FURTHER DEBATES CONTROVERSIAL REZONING

ORDINANCE

Developers who wish to put a strip mall on East Wooster Street between North Prospect and

North Summit streets were met with opposition from community members when they requested

a zoning change. It originally would have allowed for a four story building to be constructed in the

lot. To try to appease both parties, city council introduced a new zone that would restrict a building

to two stories and disallow rental apartments on the first floor. A public hearing will be hosted to

further discuss the legislation Monday at 6 p.m. in the Council Chamber on the third floor of the

City Administrative Services building.

CITY DECLARES SNOW EMERGENCY

Bowling Green received its first big snow fall on Dec. 26, prompting the city to declare a snow emer-

gency to clear the roads for crews to plow the streets. A snow emergency is declared when precipitation

exceeds two inches and above. Snow crews dispensed 150 tons of salt on the road ways and 61 people were

cited for not removing their vehicles from the street.

DON’T LOOK DOWN

Winter months dampen moods

University plans for building renovations, overhauls in future

Olscamp, other halls slated for updates, expansions

By Eric LagattaAssistant Campus Editor

When freshman Rebecca Gonya wakes up and is greeted by a frigid cold and a snow-covered ground, she doesn’t let it lower her mood.

During the cold winter months, students may find that the harsh winds and frequent snows of Bowling Green affect their motiva-tion and spirits. Some may find it dif-ficult to get out and go to class.

But for Gonya, the solution is simple.

“Bundle up and get through the day,” she said.

Many students will experience a decrease in mood during the winter months, said Dryw Dworsky, direc-tor of the Psychological Services Center and clinical assistant profes-sor in the psychology department.

“I wouldn’t call it a dramatic increase, but I do see a lot of mood-related issues in the colder months,” Dworsky said.

These “blues” can be attributed to a hormone imbalance caused by lack of exposure to sunlight, said Howard Cromwell, associate professor in the psychology department. This hor-mone is melatonin, he said.

“You need to have an exposure to light for a certain period of time to have that melatonin work properly,” Cromwell said.

Altered melatonin leads to both sleep issues and depression, he said.

But the Psychological Services Center is there to help.

The center, located in 300 Psychology Building, offers a wide variety of services to the campus and surrounding community by super-vised graduate students. The center helps those struggling with anything from depression to substance abuse, according to the center’s website.

Dworsky said he notices an

Within a few years, students may hear more of a certain distinc-tive tone ringing throughout the musical arts building— the tone of Steinway pianos.

The College of Musical Arts is working on becoming an All-Steinway School, which means 90 percent or more of the pianos used in the school will be made by Steinway and Sons piano company, said Jeffrey Showell, dean of the College of Musical Arts.

“There’s really no doubt that Steinways are the best pianos in the world,” Showell said. “The best music schools in the country are All-Steinway schools.”

Acquiring more Steinway pianos will give the school an edge in recruit-ing, Showell said.

“It sends the message that the school is committed to learning at the

highest level,” he said. Showell brought the initiative of becoming All-Steinway when he came to

the University about a year and a half ago, he said. One of the first steps was getting the Moore Musical Arts Center ready to

house Steinways. In September, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution to replace the aging HVAC units in the building.

“While the units have been serviced regularly and are reasonably well maintained, the overall performance has been deteriorating along with the physical state of the units,” according to the resolution. “In addition, the College of Musical Arts is planning to become an ‘All-Steinway School’ (piano), and the current climate conditions within the building will not support that designation.”

For a fine piano, humidity cannot change suddenly, Showell said. Showell said the college tries to keep the Steinways in parts of the building that

During the next few years, stu-dents may see construction all across campus.

The University is planning to renovate, expand or rebuild some of the academic buildings across campus and the renovations will benefit every college, Steven Krakoff, Associate Vice President of Capitol Planning and Campus Operations, said.

“It’s important that all of our buildings adequately support the users,” Krakoff said. “Whether they are residence halls or classroom buildings, it is important that they

are in good condition and that they provide the right amount of technology and other amenities to serve students and faculty.”

This summer the University will begin to renovate and expand the College of Health and Human Services building, renovate the second floor of Olscamp Hall and replace the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the Moore Musical Arts building, Krakoff said.

Nuclear tests in North Korea make world pay attention

North Carolina’s new gover-nor, Pat McCrory, recently put his foot squarely into it.

Interviewed on a syndicated radio talk show by former U.S. Education Secretary William J. Bennett, McCrory addressed the problem of recent college graduates unable to land suit-able employment.

McCrory, a former mayor of Charlotte, actually suggested some academic areas have no real-world practical applica-tions. (Imagine that.)

McCrory actually won-dered aloud if state funding should continue to be direct-ed toward areas with few job prospects. In his words, public funding should not be based on the number of “butts in the seats, but how many of those butts get jobs.”

The educational establish-ment, especially those in the Liberal Arts, predictably went rabid. A University of North Carolina geography professor said McCrory “was not elect-ed to decide what has intellec-tual value and what does not.” A sociology professor opined that McCrory’s comments reflected “a fundamental misunderstanding” of higher education.

Now at no time did McCrory actually oppose the Liberal Arts, as Jane S. Shaw, presi-dent of the John William Pope Center for Higher Education, recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “Stating such truths doesn’t mean you’re automatically antagonistic to the Liberal Arts.”

Perhaps it’s time for colleg-es and universities to concen-trate as much on the quality and marketability of the out-put (graduates) as the char-acteristics of the input (newly admitted students).

The authors of the book “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses” report that 36 per-cent of college students made no progress in critical things after four years of study.

At the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, courses such as “Dogs and People; From Prehistory to the Urbanized Future” and “Music in Motion: American Popular Music and Dance” probably won’t draw the attention of many would-be future employers. Students can obtain a minor in “Social and Economic Justice” with-out having to take a single economics class.

No serious and rigorous core curriculum exists at many universities. Mitch Daniels, who recently became president of Purdue University, stated in an open letter to the university that

“rigor has weakened.”Georgetown University’s

Center for Education and the Workforce recently published a report entitled “College Majors, Unemployment and Earnings: Not All College Degrees are Created Equal.”

In it, they listed the 2009-2010 unemployment rates for recent graduates by academic area, ranging from highs in architecture and arts of 13.9 percent and 11.1 percent respectively to lows of 5.4 per-cent in education and health.

How to remedy this situa-tion? The solution may well take three approaches. First, high school and college coun-selors should be candid with students about the long-term employment prospects in a given field. This may be dif-ficult for a college professor, who may know there are few job openings in his or her field of study apart from academia.

Second, it may be time for students to rethink the popular mantra “follow your passion,” especially if the employment prospects for one’s field of passion may be close to non-existent. Rumor mills are filled with tales of newly-minted holders of bachelor’s degrees in philoso-phy or sociology tending bars or driving cabs.

Third, colleges and universi-ties should make a concerted effort to seek out and interview the employers of their gradu-ates. This should be done with

the goal of discovering what schools can do to improve the quality of those graduates. After all, those who employ graduates are the customers of the university. Our graduates are the finished product. This is nothing more — or less — than the quality improvement of our finished product.

A college education repre-sents a significant investment in time, money and energy – items that nearly all humans have in short supply. Current and prospective students alike should carefully evalu-ate their probable employ-ment before completing a degree in their chosen field. Sometimes a “Plan B” should be considered.

Daniels also stated in his letter that, “We would fail in our duty of stewardship ... to indulge in denial and the hubris that says that we are somehow uniquely superb and immune.” Academia is no more immune to change than any other area of society.

Some may worry about universities being turned into vocational schools, but with a renewed emphasis on a robust core curriculum, plan-intensive training and finan-cial support in areas where employment prospects are bright, both the student and society will be better served.

FACULTY COLUMNIST

Nuclear tests this past Tuesday in North Korea have sent the international powers into a tizzy, trying to figure out what exactly North Korea is up to.

However, superpow-ers such as the U.S. and China knew a day in advance that North Korea would be testing the kind of nuclear capabilities the country now has. An official in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, said the reason behind the testing was in response to American hostility.

After Tuesday’s tests, Wednesday was spent con-demning North Korea for its actions, and Thursday, South Korea was doing tests to see if any radia-tion was found. A well-con-

tained test could not have radioactive isotopes that made it to the surface from underground.

The most recent tests coming from North Korea are not the first times it has experimented with nuclear technology. In both 2006 and 2009, North Korea tested plutonium. Now the question is if North Korea used plutonium again or if they have started to use uranium. If North Korea has moved to using urani-um, the country has moved on to more developed tech-nology and has the materi-als to take big steps in its nuclear program.

Having to dissect the situation with North Korea is one of the first hands-on-experiences the new Secretary of State, John Kerry has had to manage. The reactions from Kerry and the United Nations Security Council both scolded and condemned North Korea for further developing and testing

what nuclear capabili-ties the country has. But the mysterious part of this whole ordeal is trying to fig-ure out how successful the tests were. The U.S. and its allies have no idea the size or strength of the explosion among other markers that would determine how suc-cessful the tests are.

In order to hamper North Korea from doing anything the superpowers don’t like, sanctions or trade restric-tions have been put on both North Korea and Iran to prevent nuclear growth and to attack their economies, but sanctions are not work-ing in the UN’s favor and Iran is giving North Korea the materials necessary.

Despite being a strong North Korean ally, China is wary of the testing going on. Thanks to what could be a potentially big break-through with nuclear mat-ters, the U.S. is going to insert itself more into Asia, which China doesn’t like. If and when more sanctions go

up, China will be hurt too. Right now, it’s all talk

and speculation. No one has taken physical action against North Korea but has condemned the coun-try for testing its nucle-ar abilities. The Security Council along with the powers in charge all scramble to put their two cents in, slapping North Korea’s wrists and telling them to behave them-selves. If some sort of action is going to happen, it needs to happen before North Korea becomes stronger than anyone real-izes. Actions need to be made on the U.S.’s part in order to stop what’s going on or allow North Korea to start to build its own cache of nuclear weapons. It isn’t a surprise that North Korea wants to catch up to technology that has been available for decades.

Baseball takes two of three games in opening series

Hockey split series on road with CCHA rival Ferris State

One-run victories Friday, Saturday secure series against Western KentuckyFalcons win in overtime, Carpenter scored game-winner

By Ryan SatkowiakSenior Reporter

The BG hockey team won on the road for the first time in more than a month, splitting its week-end series with Ferris State.

The Falcons won Friday, 2-1 in overtime. It was the first time BG won a road game since a 5-1 win Jan. 8 against Michigan. Ferris State rebounded to win 4-3 Saturday night.

Friday night, Cam Wojtala scored with 1:28 left in the third period to send the game to over-time, and Ryan Carpenter scored the game winner.

Tommy Burke played the best game of his career as a Falcon, stopping 36 of 37 shots, 16 of those saves coming in the first period.

“I felt really good in warm-ups, was really seeing the puck well,” Burke said. “I made a couple of saves early on that got me into the game. They had a lot of pressure on us in the first so it was good to kind of weather that storm.”

Kyle Bonis got Ferris on the board late in the first period with his 16th goal of the season.

Ferris kept up the pressure throughout the game, putting 12 shots on Burke in the second period.

“In their rink, they’re coming

hard at us,” Burke said. “They play really aggressive in their own rink.”

Wojtala tied the game late in the third period on a scramble in front of the net.

Bobby Shea took a shot from the high slot that was blocked and kicked out to Brent Tate at the bottom of the left circle. Tate slid the puck over to Wojtala, who tried multiple whacks and fell to his knees before the puck ulti-mately found the back of the net.

In overtime, Carpenter ended the game with his 13th goal of the season. He deflected Connor Kucera’s shot from the point off Ferris goalie C.J. Motte and scored on the rebound.

“Tate and DeSalvo did great down low to get the puck out to the point,” Carpenter said. “[Kucera] was really poised with the puck and found my stick.

For a brief moment on Sunday afternoon, with the Falcons trailing by a run in the ninth, Nick Denes Field in Bowling Green, Ky., became Mudville, with sophomore Andrew Kubuski assuming the role of Casey.

The Falcons had plated three runs in the ninth against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on two errors and a wild pitch.

Kubuski, the power-hitting out-fielder with a double and walk already in the game, dug in with two outs and the miracle tying man on second.

This past year, Kubinski led the team in batting average, hits, slug-ging percentage and on-base per-centage.

Kubuski, like in “Casey at the Bat,” struck out, the Falcons a runner in scoring position away from poten-tially sweeping the Hilltoppers fol-lowing 9-8 and 3-2 victories Friday and Saturday.

The Falcons actually recorded more runs than hits on Sunday, as Hilltoppers pitchers Tanner Perkins and Andrew Edwards combined for eight and two-thirds innings, giving up two hits and no earned runs.

Despite sophomore Richaun Holmes breaking the school’s all-time single-season blocks record, the Falcons fell to Mid-American Conference-leading Akron Zips 67-50 Saturday.

The Falcons started the game lacking offensive produc-tion, and did not score a field goal for the first eight and a half minutes until senior A’uston Calhoun scored the first field goal of the game.

The Falcons did not recover after the point drought in the beginning of the game. Akron led for the duration, eventually pushing the gap to 17 points by the end of the game.

Holmes broke the school’s single-season blocks record, which now stands at 62 thanks to Holmes’ four against Akron.

Holmes also led the team with points in the game with a career-high 15 points. He was one of two BG players who

were able to reach double digits. Senior A’uston Calhoun scored 11 points, and was the only starter to reach double-digits.

“I think we competed for the most part,” said head coach Louis Orr. “I thought we hurt ourselves on second shots. They had 21 points on second-chance points … and we had a tough shooting night.”

Senior Jordan Crawford was held to six points and soph-omore Chauncey Orr was held to four points.

The Falcons shot 24 percent during the first half, but came back and shot 41.4 percent, which was 1.4 percent better than Akron’s performance.

The Zips had four players reach double-figures in points including four of their five starters. Brian Walsh, Nick Harney, Alex Abreu and Zeke Marshal had 10, 13, 13 and 15 points respectively.

The Falcons will take a break from Mid-American Conference play following the loss to Akron. The team will host New Orleans this Thursday. RICHAUN HOLMES | FORWARD

Since the electric car charg-ing stations were installed in the city in March 2012, they have seen use from residents as well as people passing through.

Three charging stations were set up in Bowling Green for a total of $7,500, but a grant from Clean Fuels Ohio covered half the cost, said Bowling Green Utilities Director Brian O’Connell.

The charging stations are known as level-two char-gers, or as O’Connell would call them, “middle-grade chargers.”

“For a charging station, that seemed to be the best price we could find,” O’Connell said.

Charging stations are also located on campus in the Falcon Heights parking lot, the parking lot across from McDonald Hall and in the Stroh Center lot.

Stations can also be found using a phone app called CarStations, said Sustainability Coordinator Nick Hennessey.

This app is useful for peo-ple passing through the city who need to locate a charging station, Hennessey said.

The charging stations have used 1300 kilowatt hours since they’ve been installed, O’Connell said.

The city charging stations in lots 2 and 3 have seen the most use, as opposed to Lot 1, O’Connell said.

Of the stations on cam-

pus, the Stroh Center sta-tion has gotten the most use, Hennessey said. Hennessey said he thinks the reason for this is that the charger is used mostly by people passing through the city, rather than being used by city residents.

O’Connell said there are no plans to install more sta-tions, but it’s possible the city could monetize them. Right now the stations are free, but a parking meter still needs to be used to park at the stations.

Chief Engineer of the University Electric Vehicle Institute Jeff Major said the installation of the charging stations is “a step in the right direction.”

Major said he thinks elec-tric vehicles are more efficient

than commonly-used gas-powered vehicles.

“I think that it makes sense to use electric vehicles as opposed to the gasoline vehi-cles that we have now,” Major said, “[Electric vehicles] can accomplish the mission, move the personnel or mate-rial from point A to point B with less energy.”

Major said he’s heard peo-ple say charging electric cars is less convenient than gas stations, but he disagrees. A charger can be plugged into the wall of a garage at home, Major said.

Major’s electric bill has increased by about $30 a month from charging at home, and thinks charging cars is cheaper than using gas stations.

JEFF MAJOR, chief engineer of the University Electric Vehicle Institute, plugs his 2011 Think City electric vehicle in at a parking lot by the Visitor’s Center. He rarely charges his car on campus because he has a device he uses to charge his car in his garage. When fully charged his car can go 70 miles per hour, when the car is dead it takes 8 hours to charge fully.

FACULTY From Page 1

Although both Hart and Jackson are unsure of how prospective students and their families will react, they hope their actions will help to educate them rather than harm recruitment for the University. The association decided to nix putting on another march in an effort to avoid scaring away prospec-tive students during their visit to the University.

“We considered that

option but we didn’t want to do something that would be disruptive to potential students,” Jackson said. “We didn’t want to overwhelm them.”

Along with the Presidents Day demonstration, the Faculty Association is also planning an upcoming town hall-style meeting in another effort to spread the group’s message about the 100 fac-ulty cuts to take place for the fall 2013 semester.

Since the March on McFall Feb. 6, the Faculty Association and University administra-

tion have both filed Unfair Labor Practice complaints against each other after the University requested a mem-bership list from the Faculty Association. The associa-tion refused to provide the information and the com-plaints have been directed to the Ohio State Employment Relations Board this past week, according to a Faculty Association press release.

On the day of the March on McFall, the University announced it would not make any further comments on the 100 cuts or the ongo-

ing negotiations between the administration and the Faculty Association. The statement was part of an effort to avoid negotiating in the media, according to a University press release.

The March on McFall brought together nearly 300 protesters to rally in front of McFall Center. While today’s demonstration may not be similar in nature it does mark the second demonstration organized by the Faculty Association since the 100 cuts were announced in January.

Junior Rodney Lewis, who volunteered time for his fraternity to stand guard at some of the ice carvings downtown on Saturday afternoon, said the festival events drew interest from the student community.

“It definitely helps; a lot of people are walking around downtown for February,” Lewis said.

Corn hole and ice skating

are some events that would attract students to come out, he said, providing an alternative to most weekend activities.

“It’s definitely different from the bars,” Lewis said.

Overall, Barbara Ruland, director of Downtown Bowling Green, said the fes-tival was well attended.

“Every year it seems like there’s more and more activ-ities and more fun things to do,” Ruland said. “It splits attentions, but it gets [com-munity members] to come out and support it.”

By Ethan EasterwoodSports Editor

The BG softball team started off the season on a win after a rather uneventful weekend.

The Falcons were slot-ted to face four opponents. However, due to weather, the past three games were canceled.

Perhaps the Falcons brought some winter down south with them to Spartanburg, S.C., as the state saw a few inches of snow dur-ing the weekend.

The first game was against George Washington and the

Falcons took home its first win of the season, 1-0.

The Falcons had just one hit for a game that saw quiet bats.

Senior Hannah Fulk, whom this past season led the Falcons in home runs, went 1-for-1 at bat with an earned run and stolen base to add.

Fulk’s run came in the bot-tom of the first inning. She was walked initially and, after a wild pitch followed by a steal, made it third base. Fulk was hit home by another star in senior Paige Berger on a ground out to second. Berger finished the game with the

only RBI.Fulk is close to breaking the

BG career walk record and Berger is second on the home run total as well.

George Washington fared no better as it was able to muster four hits in the con-test. Credit goes to sopho-more pitching duo Jamie Kertes and Paris Imholz.

Kertes earned the win, giv-ing up the one run while strik-ing out five. Imholz pitched the final three innings strik-ing out three of her own on three hits.

“We are glad to pick up our first win,” said head coach

Shannon Salsburg. “Our pitching staff did an out-standing job of keeping the hitters off balance and trust-ing the defense to make the play.”

With the win, it marks the second straight season open-ing victory for the Falcons. In 2012, the Falcons beat Wright State 13-1.

The games against George Mason, Winthrop and Samford will not be resched-uled as the Falcons look next to the Phyllis Rafter Memorial in Kennesaw, Ga., where the Falcons will face five new opponents.

Softball opens season with win

Then I just jammed home the rebound.”

Saturday night, Ferris jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the second period before the Falcons came storming back.

The Falcons scored twice in 35 seconds midway though the second period to tie the game at three.

Brent Tate scored on a rebound on a shot from Adam Berkle with 11:25 left in the second period. Thirty-five seconds later, Brett Mohler beat Motte through the five-hole on a three-on-two rush.

“It was kind of a bobbled back-check,” Mohler said. “We picked the puck up and Chad [Sumsion] left me the puck and [Andrew Wallace] went right to the net. If he didn’t do that I don’t think the puck would’ve went in because the goalie was a lit-

tle too worried about him.”Garrett Thompson

scored the go-ahead goal with 3:38 left in the peri-od. On the power play, he was left alone on the back door and deflected Justin Buzzeo’s pass into a wide-open net.

Ferris scored each of their first three goals on break-aways. Buzzeo got Ferris on the board first midway through the first period. He blew past Shea into the BG zone and took a cross-ice pass from Justin DeMartino and beat Burke.

Bonis scored shorthand-ed with less than a min-ute left in the first period. Thompson flipped a pass out of the Bulldogs’ zone, and Bonis out-skated both BG defenders to pick up the puck.

Berkle also scored in the first period on a slick back-hand shot from the left cir-cle that beat Motte over his shoulder.

Cory Kane made it 3-1 just 1:32 into the second period. He slipped behind Kucera and took a pass from Eric Alexander, out-skated Rusty Hafner, and beat Burke.

Despite the loss, the Falcons feel they played a better game than the previ-ous night.

“I thought we played bet-ter than [Friday] night,” Berkle said. “Some of the bounces just didn’t go our way. We had opportunities to tie it up late.”

Thanks to the one win, the Falcons remained in a position to host a home playoff series. They sit eighth in the standings, five points ahead of Northern Michigan.

“Any time you can get a split on the road it’s big, especially this time of year when points really mat-ter,” Mohler said. “We really needed two wins but we’re happy to get one.”

losing pitcher, surrender-ing four earned runs, most coming in the first inning. The Falcons bullpen fol-lowed with three scoreless innings from RHP’s Jason Link, Levi Fisher and Devin Daugherty.

Two nights before, in Friday’s season opener, the Falcons jumped out to an 8-1 lead after two innings. BG’s lineup drove Hilltoppers starter Justin Hageman out of the game after recording just one inning pitched.

It looked like the Falcons would cruise to a big win on opening day, with starter Cody Apthorpe, BG co-cap-tain, giving up just two runs in four innings of work.

From there, however, it was all Western Kentucky. The Falcons went virtu-ally hitless after the third inning, and Link, at times brilliant last year from the bullpen as a freshman, gave up four runs in the seventh.

“I thought we were very disciplined early in the game ... took a lot of pitches and everything,” BG coach Danny Schmitz said. “We kind of got away from that.”

The Hilltoppers tied the game at eight apiece an inning later, with three singles off the Falcons’ Nick Bruns as the game went into extra innings.

In the 10th, the Falcons took a one-run lead

after Patrick Lancaster scored with two outs on a Hilltoppers error. Defensive miscues cost both teams throughout the weekend, with the Falcons recording seven of the combined 10 errors in the series.

Falcons reliever Ben Singer, formerly a starter for BG, came in to close out the game to secure an extra-innings victory.

Saturday’s game was a pitching duel, with BG’s Mike Frank, in his first appearance for the Falcons since 2011, battling with Hilltoppers starter Tim Bado. The teams traded runs early on solo home runs from Falcons catcher T.J. Losby and WKU senior Ryan Huck.

The score remained deadlocked at two until the seventh inning, when BG’s Brian Bien singled home Matt Smith to take the lead for good. Ethan McKenney threw three shut-out innings to close out the game, giving up just one hit on a pair of strikeouts.

Freshman Brett Fitzwater got his feet wet in his first career appearance for BG, notching the win after an inning of relief. The 3-2 vic-tory gave Coach Schmitz 590 on his career, just 10 from notching 600 total wins.

“It was a great team win,” Schmitz said on Saturday. “We had the pitching, the defense and I guess just enough hitting.”

Contrary to the old adage, there are atheists in fox-holes. And contrary to the common misconception, not all theists are close- minded, homophobic or bigoted.

But do non-believers and believers draw these lines in ideology, or are they drawn for us?

As the son of a Lutheran minister and as a member of the Baha’i faith, if the necessity arises, I will pub-licly affirm my belief in God However, this doesn’t mean that I look down upon any other religious beliefs or upon the beliefs of agnos-tics or atheists; nor does this mean I will go out of my way to preach about my religious convictions.

Frankly, the idea that believers and non-believ-ers have too many differ-ences between them to be friends, or even sig-nificant others, is a false dilemma. What most rea-sonable people think is sel-dom expressed by figure-heads like Bill Maher and Bill O’Reilly, who bluster about too much religion in society, or too little, respec-tively. It comes down to an individual level of tol-erance, patience and love that can only be achieved by two individuals who can agree to disagree, be they believers or not.

In my opinion, the dis-agreement that often

devolves into argument between believers and non-believers comes from being too sure of our beliefs. In “The God Delusion,” author Richard Dawkins fashions a scale of theistic probabil-ity ranging from one (com-plete surety that God does exist) to seven (complete surety that God does not exist).

Regardless of where we rank ourselves on this scale or whether we even believe this can be an accurate barometer of theistic prob-ability, I think considering ourselves either a one or a seven on the scale is the kind of thinking that causes us to become close—mind-ed. In the words of Voltaire “Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.”

It becomes a genuine problem when theists try to force their views and agendas down the throats of the unwilling in the name of evangelism (which by the way only means “to tell the good news”) and it becomes just as much a problem when atheists belittle and insult believ-ers for having the beliefs they do. However, the peo-ple who are guilty of this sort of behavior are in the minority of their respective groups.

Theists and atheists have much more in common than they can sometimes realize. It is the agenda of both extremes to make us think collusion is impos-sible and dialogue is futile. In the end, I challenge pes-simism and I believe in the general goodness of people.

These people range from

the most devout Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Baha’i’s and Pagans to the most sure and devout atheists and agnostics.

If our goal is to make a more tolerant and peace-ful world, we must sub-ject all of our knowledge and beliefs to the scrutiny of reason and the careful consideration of mysticism. Ultimately, it is up to every individual to decide wheth-er or not they can reconcile the existence of a deity, but whatever our individual beliefs, the most important thing we can show others is respect for their beliefs.

Most people believe we ought to be good to each other and treat each other fairly, and whether they do so to fulfill a divine com-mand or because they sim-ply believe it is the right thing to do matters little. The most valuable thing you can latch on to is the determination to keep an open mind.
