When a sophomore was sexually harassed in February, an email con-taining details of the harassment was sent to a person not involved in the case.

Chief of University Police Monica Moll meant to send a simple “thank you” to her colleagues, but instead, sent the private report to a random student, whose name was similar to an officer’s.

“What I’ve learned from this is check, check and double check,” Moll said.

The report was filed by the vic-tim, a student, in an online system called Maxient, which is used for student conduct reports. Anyone can report something unofficially to the University through the system and it is sent immediately to Student Affairs officials through email.

The case was a sexual harassment, so Moll’s role was finding out if the

alleged perpetrator had any prior offenses.

She was emailing a few University administrators and some of her own employees about prior offenses and her role in the process was just about to end, when she sent the email to the wrong person.

“A lot of things get handled over email,” Moll said. “We also got to be careful because things like this could happen.”

The BG News obtained the email when it was sent to a reporter from the student who received the email

More than 5,000 University students may see a reduction in their fed-eral aid for higher education if a U.S. House of Representatives’ budget is successful.

Republican Congressman Paul Ryan’s budget proposal would reduce funding for Pell Grants by $90 million as a means of balancing the federal budget.

In fall 2013, 34.5 percent of stu-dents at the University received those Pell Grants, according to numbers provided by the University. State-wide, 31,000 college students

benefit from the grants.These proposed cuts are part of

the House Republican’s budget, which would reduce federal spend-ing by $5.1 trillion. It was passed the House Budget Committee on Wednesday, and will now move to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives next week.

Ultimately, it will need Senate and United States President Barack Obama’s approval before becoming law.

For the second year in a row, the presidential and vice presidential candidates for Undergraduate Student Government will be run-ning unopposed for the next aca-demic year.

“We were both surprised,” said Presidential Candidate Brian Kochheiser. “We thought there were at least one or two other tickets going up against us.”

Outgoing USG President Alex Solis and Vice President David Neely ran unopposed in the last

round of elections.Kochheiser is a junior, major-

ing in sport management with a minor in general business. He is currently on the cabinet for USG as chief of staff.

Nicole Neely is on the same ticket as vice president. She is a junior and majoring in business with marketing specialization. She is currently on the cabinet for USG for strategic planning.

While many expressed their support for Kochheiser and Neely, they also talked about the dis-

“Social media is huge. Students use Facebook and Twitter all the time. We are going to utilize USG’s accounts and our own as well. It will be a way to have the students heard and we will be asking questions and giving updates about the school and what USG is doing.”

“It has a huge one. One of our flaws is not being able to communicate what we are working on. We need to find a way to increase interactions and tell people what we are working on and what we can do to help.”

Victim’s harassment report accidentally revealed

Places like Blo and Café Havana are gaining popularity by the minute in Bowling Green because of the fact that hookah is gaining popularity.

Hookah is a type of tobacco that is burned and smoked through a hose, said Faith Yingling, director of Wellness.

There are many different flavors of hookah including apple, chocolate, mango and sex on the beach.

“If you have flavors like that, people are enticed by that,” Yingling said.While hookah may be more social than cigarettes, it is by no means safer.“The problem is people think it’s less harmful, but it has many of the same health risks

as cigarette smoking,” Yingling said.The charcoal that is used to burn hookah is not safe for the user either.“The charcoal used to heat the tobacco can raise the health risks because that has

high levels of carbon monoxide, metals and the cancer-causing chemicals,” Yingling said. “The tobacco in hookahs is burned because it is exposed to high heat and the smoke is at least as toxic as cigarette smoke.”

Some of the health risks include lung, bladder and oral cancers as well as heart dis-ease, she said.

Even though there are some health risks, “it’s gaining popularity,” she said.One of the popular hookah bars in Bowling Green is Blo, which opened in September. “Weekends are very busy,” said Hookah Manager Tyler Callahan. “We are the only

other hookah café in the town, and we are closer to students so I think that is the reason they choose to come here.”

Blo is also the only hookah bar in Bowling Green that has indoor smoking, Callahan said.

“We want to be a lounge where people can do homework, drink, smoke and eat food,” Callahan said.

Hookah, while popular with college students, is also gaining popularity with high school students.

“In 2010 … a survey found that among high school students, one in five boys and one in six girls had tried hookah. That’s pretty significant,” Yingling said.

Junior Emma Boylan is one of the six girls the study found to have tried hookah in high school.

“I got into hookah because when I was younger I wanted to go out but I was too young to drink and didn’t want just stand around at a bar and not participate,” she said.

For Boylan, hookah bars were “the next best thing” to spend time with friends and feel like an adult.

Hookah poses more health risks than cigarettes; users inhale 150 times more smoke in 1-hour hookah session than smoking one cigarette

It’s a new year for the University’s Dance Marathon, and this year the organization’s steering com-mittee is anticipating their main event, “Ziggython,” to be bigger than ever.

The 32-hour long event will begin Saturday, April 5, at 10 a.m. in the Perry Field House, a new location compared to past years, as the Student Recreation Center undergoes renovations.

Dance Marathon’s goal this year is $500,000. This past year the organization was able to raise more than $313,000. All the money raised will be donated to Mercy Children’s Hospital in Toledo.

Fundraising to meet this year’s goal has been in the works since this past fall, said Alyssa Cannella, Dance Marathon’s community out-reach chair.

A benefit dinner was host-ed in the fall, which raised $12,000 to go toward the main goal. Mini-marathon was hosted in February and raised

more than $10,000. “The feedback has been so

positive,” she said. “I think there’s more buzz about [Dance Marathon] this year than in past years because we’ve reached out to so many people.”

The organization’s 2014 campaign is “This is the New Year.” According to Holly Hemminger, assistant direc-tor of internal affairs, more students are embracing the warm welcome.

She said the organiza-tion has seen a 200 percent increase in those who signed up to be a dancer, with more than 300 registered dancers.

“We want to be extremely welcoming to everybody,” she said. “It’s about the value of every kind of participant, whether you’re a dancer, morale or a guest just coming to check it out.”

Hemminger said she wants all students to feel welcome to come to this year’s event.

Students are able to register as a guest, free of charge, at “Ziggython.” Donations are encouraged, but not required for admission and students

are able to stay as long as they would like.

In addition to the increase in dancers, Hemminger said there will also be more than 40 “miracles,” or chil-dren from Mercy Children’s Hospital present at the event, which is also an increase from last year.

Hemminger said because some of the miracle children are younger and leave at night to go to sleep, students are encouraged to come and keep up the energy. There will be different events every hour for students and families to take part in.

There will be specific themes for every hour, includ-ing New Year’s Eve hour, in which the Field House will take the theme of New York City as it would be on New Year’s Ever, as well as philan-thropy hour and Giant Hour.

Giant Hour will include inflatables, giant hamster balls, giant tricycles and more. A variety of games and a rave will also be among the activi-ties in the 32-hour time frame.

On Sunday the final fund-raising total will be revealed

to the miracle families, orga-nization and students. During the closing ceremonies the Bikes for Tikes participants will also be riding in from their 180-mile cycling trip from Cincinnati. Lexie Miller, a sophomore at the University and member of the Bikes for Tikes Core Committee, said the bikers’ goal this year is $100,000. Last year they raised $98,000.

“I love being involved with the organization,” Miller said. “I knew the goal was going to be difficult, but I was willing to take the challenge; every donation counts.”

Miller had to raise at least $1,000 to participate in the cycling ride and said with the help of friends and family, she was able to go above it at $1,003.

The conclusion of the event is open to anyone. Closing ceremonies begin between 3 and 4 p.m. and end at 6 p.m. on Sunday at the Perry Field House.

Ziggython to return this weekend bigger than ever

More than 300 participants to be at 32-hour Dance Marathon; has goal of $500,000 raised for hospital

across the country, allow-ing them to receive a college education.

Congressman Tim Ryan (D), U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 13th congressional dis-trict, offered an amendment to the budget Wednesday to maintain the Pell Grants. The amendment, which was ulti-mately voted down, would have instead reduced or eliminated tax breaks for oil companies and nixed corpo-rate loopholes that encourage outsourcing.

The amendment was reject-ed by a party line vote, as the House Budget Committee is composed of 22 Republicans and 17 Democrats.

Ryan took issue with the Republicans’ budget because it shifts the financial bur-den to the middle and lower class, he said in a conference call with editors from college newspapers on Thursday.

The Pell Grant reduction in

particular affects college stu-dents, as the average student graduates with $29,000 in debt.

“We have an obligation to reduce that burden,” Ryan said. “This budget doesn’t address that at all. It actually makes matters worse.”

Further, the proposed bud-get would see $41 billion cut from the federal loan pro-gram. The Republican budget would eliminate subsidizing loans while students are in school, which means students would have to pay back the interest before graduation.

“I just think that’s a ridicu-lous burden,” Ryan said.

Ryan pointed out that many students who receive Pell Grants work multiple jobs and are the type of people the Republican party claims to support.

“Those very students who are working hard ... are the ones that are going to get punished,” Ryan said. “[The Republicans’] proposals don’t reward their own rhetoric.”

Calls to Paul Ryan’s office for an interview request were

not returned, but his open-ing remarks at Wednesday’s markup for the budget indi-cate his stance:

“It puts us on the path to pay off our debt. How do we do it? We stop spending money we don’t have,” Paul Ryan said. “After five years of big spend-ing and little results, we think it’s irresponsible to take more from hardworking families to spend more in Washington. Every family must balance its budget. Washington should do the same. And with the right reforms in place, we can strengthen our national secu-rity, foster a healthier econ-omy, create jobs, and raise take-home pay.”

The federal government dis-tributed $32.3 billion national-ly in Pell Grants in 2013, accord-ing to statistics provided by the Department of Education. That number is estimated to rise to $33 billion in 2014.

In Ohio, $1 billion was dis-tributed by the federal govern-ment in Pell Grants in 2013, a number expected to drop slightly in 2014.

University officials are unsure of how the House Republican Budget would affect students as of now, according to a statement provided by University Spokesperson Dave Kielmeyer to The BG News.

“It is too early to speculate about what it could mean for Bowling Green State University and our students,” the statement read. “Keeping a BGSU education as affordable and accessible as possible is a top priority for the University.”

Ryan encouraged students potentially affected by this budget to “get active and get involved” by lobbying legisla-tors and petitioning.

“The students of Ohio need to get active and energized,” Ryan said.

As the budget moves to the House floor for discussion and a vote, Ryan himself will maintain his opposition.

“Every step through the process is an opportunity to push back,” Ryan said. “We’ll continue to fight on the House floor.”

appointment of not having more candidates running.

Dean of Students Jodi Webb was also surprised there aren’t more students running.

“It’s a very big commit-ment,” Webb said. “There are many obligations stu-dents could have that pre-vented them from running, like academic obligations.”

However, Webb believes Kochheiser and Neely are good candidates for the job.

“They both have a lot of experience within USG,” she said. “I think they have a good understanding with the organization and issues on campus and with what is changing in the future.”

Academic Affairs Chair Kasie Durkit said he believes competition is healthy for candidates that run and is sad there aren’t more running.

“It forces people to rec-ognize and hone in on their strong qualities,” Durkit said. “If you don’t have competition, it’s harder to truly try your best and you never know if you’re really the ticket people want.”

Even so, Durkit said she still thinks the team run-ning is best for the job.

“I’m confident they have what it takes to win, even if they were running against someone,” she said. “They are hitting the ground running and have a great work ethic.”

Kochheiser and Neely

have multiple points for their platform. They include creating a campus tag card, expanding Ziggy Points, finishing recreation center renovations and greek housing, increas-ing sustainability efforts and getting organizations trained by the Office for Multicultural Affairs.

With the new initiative Ziggy Points, the team wants to expand the pro-gram.

“We love it and think it’s great but we want to expand the marketing and knowledge about what Ziggy Points are,” Kochheiser said. “We also want to make the awards more attractive to students.”

For sustainability, they want to create a new themed learning commu-nity centered around sus-tainability. The two also want to support diversity groups like Call To Action through their multicultur-al affairs platform.

“I think our collaboration with Call To Action and Not In Our Town will help so they know we understand how they feel not repre-sented enough,” Neely said. “We want them to know that we care and want to help them with that.”

Kochheiser and Neely encourage students to vote.

The ballot will be open Monday, April 7 through Thursday, April 10. Students will get a customized link to their emails, through which they can vote.

If students smoke hoo-kah for an hour at the bars though, they will typically do 200 puffs, which is 10 times more than a cigarette, Yingling said.

“The amount of smoke inhaled during a typical hoo-kah session is about 90,000 mL compared to 500-600 mL inhaled when smoking a cig-arette,” Yingling said.

For people who are not smoking the hookah but are with their friends, there are still many health risks as well.

“It contains smoke from the tobacco as well as the heat source,” Yingling said.

The reason that hookah may be popular is because of how people see it.

“I think when you have these things it’s marketing, it’s these businesses pop-ping up and people are like ‘oh, that’s cool,’ you know it’s trendy,” Yingling said.

Junior Amanda Myers tried hookah as a junior in high school.

“My friends said it was fun and cheap so I thought, ‘Why not?’ I felt cool and rebellious doing it,” Myers said.

Yingling said students need to be aware of what they are actually ingesting in their body when they do hookah.

“Just because [companies] glamorize [hookah] with fla-vors doesn’t mean you aren’t being exposed to nicotine. It just masks it,” she said.

New Wu-Tang album smart business move, not unexpected

In the music industry, it’s dif-ficult for an act to stay rele-vant. Sometimes, artists simply fade into obscurity. Sometimes they’re able to fight their way back to popularity.

However, sometimes an art-ist will try to make a grand entrance back into their audi-ence’s consciousness.

Enter the Wu-Tang.Wu-Tang Clan, seminal rap

group who paved the way for other artists within the genre to turn their music into a viable brand, have announced they will only press one copy of their latest album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.” In the meantime, it will be toured around the coun-try, and those who want to lis-ten to it will have to pay $50 and then be subject to an extensive search to make sure they have no recording devices on them. At the end of the tour they’ll sell the album to one very lucky,

very wealthy fan.While some have dismissed

this as a ridiculous publicity stunt, I don’t really think they’re qualified to weigh in. Let’s start with how Wu-Tang are meant to be perceived.

This is a group that has always been about excess. Their image is predicated on them collec-tively being a business, and they’ve been historically great at selling that by doing weird, ridiculous things. I mean, they’re a rap group who wrote a book that simply laid out their business model.

So if you’ve followed them through their career, the fact they’re doing this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Selling the only pressing of an album you recorded for an extremely high price is totally Wu-Tang.

Second, it’s simply a good business move. Wu-Tang Clan plans to release another album later this year, the sales of which will likely be helped by this publicity stunt. Selling the only pressing of an album allows them to make a huge profit on it, and helps to ensure a large

The Elem3nt Dance Team will host more than a performance at its showcase April 19.

The team will be bringing the community and surrounding areas together for a workshop and showcase performance at the Field House and Stroh Center respectively.

Although the dance team is known for its performances throughout the University, the workshop and showcase aims to give inspiration to younger danc-ers and raise health and wellness while also getting the communi-ty involved, said Kezia Reynolds, president of Elem3nt.

“We wanted to provide some-thing for everyone to do some-thing with us,” Reynolds said. “We want to show that we’re here not to just perform. We just want to interact with everyone and that we’re not just a dance team.”

The day will consist of per-formers from throughout the area to attend, local high school students to gain a different side of college experience and food and beverages will be provided.

The group hosted its first showcase last year and saw potential for the event to be an annual meeting.

Vice-President Jailyn Harris said the workshop before the showcase is for people to interact without the need to only per-form.

“It’s a way to open up for the community,” Harris said. “We just want people to have fun.”

A FLOOD OF DISCUSSIONBy Geoff Burns

While many students will go to see the film “Noah” in theaters for entertainment, others will go for a religious purpose.The University’s spirituality group, Cru, received free tickets from Paramount Pictures to take religious and non-religious students to see

the film and to have a discussion about the biblical story of “Noah” from the book of Genesis in the Bible. They went to see it last Saturday.As students go see the film, it serves as a different method in getting those to become engaged in a religious activity as a group rather than

attending a church service, said Larry Stephens, director of strategic partnerships at Cru Headquarters.“I immediately thought students will want to talk about [“Noah”] for hours after seeing it,” Stephens said. “It’s a conversation starter. So

why not engage in it afterwards?”

After nine seasons of near miss-es, TV viewers got to see how Ted Mosby finally finished telling his children about how he met their mother.

And while the end of the show may have upset many viewers, it had to happen that way.

Viewers got to see how Ted met The Mother and what hap-pened to the MacLaren’s gang after Barney and Robin’s wed-ding. The episode is told in a series of f lashbacks and f lash forwards, starting with a con-versation from 2005 when Robin officially became a member of the group.

The show jumped all over, from The Mother telling Ted

she’s having a baby, to Barney and Robin shocking the group by saying they got a divorce while in Argentina, to Barney, our bach-elor for life, saying that while trying to achieve the “perfect month” [sleeping with a differ-ent girl each night of the month], he got one of them pregnant.

The gang, with the exception of Robin who started slipping away from the group, wait in the hospital, where Barney holds his daughter, Ellie, and says he has found what he was waiting for most in life and is a changed man. Later, Ted talks about how The Mother is sick and dies.

It’s 2030, and future Ted is finally done telling his children how he met their mother. They respond with wanting to know when he’s going to date Aunt

Robin, causing him to steal a blue French horn, much like season one, and stand outside Robin’s apartment.

Overall, the finale is not what many fans expected and left them enraged. Why spend a sea-son building up for a wedding that is ultimately going to end in divorce? Why tell fans a story for nine years about how much Ted loves the mother [named Tracy McConnell], only to have her die after they get married? Why do Ted’s children tell him to finally ask out “Aunt Robin?”

While it seems like a slap in the face to viewers, it makes com-plete sense. Life isn’t a fairy tale. Even to the seemingly best cou-ples, divorce is always a possi-

Nearly 70 years ago, an event thrust the world into the dawn of a new age of science, energy and destruction.

The final moments of World War II saw the destruc-tion of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as the U.S., along-side the world, learned the horrors of the nuclear age.

Standing as possibly the most controversial deci-sion in American history, President Truman’s deci-sion has been revisited for decades.

The decision to use the atomic bombs has been defended with vigor as Traditionalists cite casu-alty projections for an invasion to end the war with Japan. Taking in to account the projected loss of Americans, as well, as Japanese, the numbers stager in the hundreds of thousands to a million peo-ple being expected to die in the invasion.

A dissenting group of historians, called the Revisionists, argue the unconditional sur-render of Japan would most readily have been achieved through a dif-ferent medium than the atomic bombs. They find the Traditionalists’ casual-ty projections to be gross-ly inaccurate and believe the dropping of the atomic bombs were only the first

political progression of the impending Cold War with the Soviet Union.

While I have an opinion on this matter, I am, by no means, an expert on this subject.

Fortunately, Barton J. Bernstein will soon be trav-eling here to present on this very issue next Tuesday April 8 at 4 p.m. in the Union, room 201.

Bernstein, a profes-sor of History at Stanford University, is the world’s most prominent and pro-lific scholar on the decision to use the atomic bombs. A Harvard Ph.D. gradu-ate, Bernstein has written several books focused on President Truman’s admin-istration and faithfully rep-resents unbiased research from his past 45 years.

Standing between the Traditionalist and Revisionist points of view, Bernstein has earned praise from each side while also challenging their arguments. While tak-ing criticism for his views, detractors have been careful to recognize that Bernstein’s work does not fit neatly into a specific category and her-ald him as “far and away the most knowledgeable scholar in this field.”

This praise comes amid a heated dispute between Revisionists and Traditionalists who seem preoccupied with exposing fallacies in their adversaries’ arguments, opposed to pro-viding satisfactory answers to our country’s most pro-lific debate. This height-ened level of praise is not to be ignored.

Bernstein’s arrival fur-ther incites proof of the quality education being provided in the College of Arts and Sciences. Emphatically, I highlight the tremendous year this has been for students of history, classics and political science.

Apart from the phenom-enal faculty, this year, in particular, has provided unique opportunities to students. Beginning in October, the presentations of Dr. Robert Garland— on Julius Caesar— and Marion Lazan— on her experience surviving the Holocaust— entertained just under 600 students.

In February, Sufi Laghari, a political action leader from Washington D.C., visited with us to educate on domestic issues in his native Pakistan. Each of these presentations has offered an immeasurable opportunity to engage and interact with the most influ-ential figures in each’s respec-tive field.

As stated, this opportuni-ty is going to be revisited on Tuesday.

Looking forward, Bernstein’s presentation will expectedly offer students unparalleled insight into the ethical, environmental and strategic issues associated with the decision. For anyone with the slightest interest in World War II, the Cold War, foreign policy or the ethics of the nuclear age, this is a can’t miss event.

As much as I still get riled up about the political issue du jour, I’ve progressively found myself at an impasse; not only with the party and the figures I helped elect to power, but with the political system in general.

Now, I hope that last line didn’t make you, the readers cringe; for fear that I might be launching some clichéd dia-tribe about the inherent evils of government. My point is actually the exact opposite.

I don’t think there’s one of us who doesn’t take some issue with the greater impli-cations of power structures as far-reaching and pervasive as the federal and state govern-ments of the U.S.; whether this be in the form of the implica-tions of Edward Snowden’s, or Chelsea Manning’s rev-elations about the incredible abuses of power that have been perpetrated by the federal government, or the incredible lack of regulation enforcement of certain state governments [for example, in West Virginia] that have cho-sen radical laissez-faire capi-talism over the public good.

I reject the idea proposed by some that we should favor states’ power instead of fed-eral power. Governing some-thing as vast as the United States is bound to be imper-fect and inefficient, and as such, we should not expect it to be; nor is it the kind of romanticized, yellow brick road to personal liberty that

it is portrayed to be. Both are prone to inefficiency and cor-ruption in their own ways.

I also reject the idea that the federal government should have the power to do whatever it pleases. Many Libertarians, for example, might disagree with the fol-lowing statement, but in my time here in France, I have found it to be true. Despite what any of them, or any other ‘small government’ folks might believe about the U.S., our federal government is still very, very small com-pared to those of the nations of Europe.

Here, it’s against the law to publicly say anything negative about race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.

Now understand, I’m not trying to make a value judg-ment about this. I think rac-ism, sexism, homophobia and religious intolerance are all demonstrably wrong, but here in the U.S., I think we take our right to free speech for granted in a way we don’t really realize.

France and the other nations of the world have their own sets of problems, just as we do, but one thing we all have in common, other than our humanity, is a centralized government.

I hear much talk about the ‘right’ to be ruled over or the ‘right’ of governments to tell us what we can and can’t do being wrong or invalid.

I understand and respect the views of those who dis-agree with me, but I feel this is entirely the wrong conversa-tion to be having.

Since the dawn of time, people have banded together for the common good and the common defense, and that’s

what they will continue to do. To deny this by attempting to engineer a utopia that some-how circumvents the fallibil-ity of human nature is to deny all that history has taught us, from Gilgamesh to Guevara.

Whether we embrace anar-chism, small government, or big government, there will be inefficiency and corruption. But there must always be a power structure of some kind, for better, for worse.

It’s not about a ‘right’ to be ruled. Humans will rule each other. This is a simple fact. What the common man, what you and I want, by and large, is to pursue our happi-ness and our talents in peace, within the bounds of the law, with as little government interference in our lives as possible, but that comes with a price. The ideas of peace, justice, and morality might be self-evident, but they are not self-perpetuating. A power structure must exist to guar-antee these things, or they do not exist, for all intents and purposes.

Power might exist to a point only to perpetuate its own existence and the continua-tion of its power, but I chal-lenge all those who believe a central government is inher-ently useless or evil to suggest a better alternative; because if what they suggest is state sovereignty, and what they want is to keep the U.S. united, then they might want to take a look back at the Articles of Confederation to see how their proposal will turn out.

BG Gymnast does a flip in one of the Falcons home meets this season. The Falcons are sending three girls to Regionals this weekend.

Hammer thrower, Brooke Pleger comes into season as a First-Team All-American honoree, is a unique athlete with a unique schedule

By Grant CrawfordReporter

With the season coming to an end, the Falcons gymnastics team will send three gymnasts to NCAA regionals, where they will compete for a spot in the NCAA champion-ships in Birmingham, Ala.

Representing BG will be Megan Harrington, Gina Locigno and Alyssa Nocella, all of whom will par-ticipate in the all-around competi-tion this weekend. Lauren Feely will also attend as an alternate gymnast.

In order for any of them to qualify for the NCAA championships, they

must place in the top two in the all-around competition, which might prove difficult with the rest of the team not there to energize them.

“It’s just a change,” said head coach Kerrie Turner. “It is different but obviously having three of them helps because it is not like there is just one by themselves. They have been working hard the last two weeks and they have goals and defi-nitely want to get to nationals.”

For these three girls, this is not unfamiliar territory. All of them have reached the NCAA regionals at some point in their collegiate gym-nastics career.

“It really helps because each indi-vidual gets tacked on to a team, so our gymnasts all compete at the end of different lineups … so they have to understand what that is like,” Turner said. “The fact that they understand what that is … is really going to help them compete at their best and get mentally ready for the competition.”

Nocella, Locigno and Harrington have competed in the all-around competitions for the majority of the season posting a score of 37.900 or

After a good performance in the first outdoor meet, the Falcons’ track and field team looks to do the same in Athens, Ohio at the Ohio Cherry Blossom meet this Saturday, at a two-day event.

This will be a good opportunity for the Falcons’ to continue their early momentum from their first meet in Raleigh, N.C. It was there where they managed to hit an impressive five automatic quali-fying marks.

Senior Jeanette Pettigrew hit three of the five automarks, competing in the 100, 200, and long jump events. Redshirt fresh-man Kori Reiser and senior Tina Perrine also hit automarks in the hammer throw, coming in first and second place respectively.

Other players had good show-ings as well during the meet.

Freshman sprinter Brianna Johnson finished within the top 10 of the 800 relay, coming in ninth. In the 400 hurdles, redshirt junior Brittany Sinclair finished with a time of 1:03.54, coming within one second short of tying her personal best.

Sophomore Demetra Taylor fin-ished right behind her, coming in with a time of 1:03.83.

Although Pettigrew won’t be participating in the Ohio Cherry Blossom, head coach Lou Snelling says that she’s off to a great start

and she’s looking forward to get-ting to the end of the season.

“In terms of marks, she’s look-ing to put up some times that will get her in the NCAA,” Snelling said. “She’s already got the auto-marks in the 100, 200 and the long jump, now it’s about getting towards the first round.”

Snelling also was impressed with Reiser and her results at the Raleigh Relays, saying that he was impressed that she took advan-tage of the opportunity.

“That was a big step she took at N.C. State because she red-shirted her freshman year,” he said. “The outside events are her better events ... this was her first opportunity to do her thing and with winning the event, she took advantage of that and it was great to see her do that.”

Although they’re day today with their practices, Snelling says that the Falcons are focusing more on the big picture of making it to Mid-American Conference out-door championship.

“In terms of our preparation, we’re a little bit less of the week-to-week and more of the big pic-ture in terms of getting ready for the end of season,” Snelling said. “This is it because we tran-sition to the end of the season; we’re trying to get to MAC in the best possible shape and then the NCAA rounds.”

The Ohio Cherry Blossom meet will take place at Ohio University.

‘CRACKINGthe surface’

By Cameron Teague RobinsonSports Editor

Being named a First-Team All-American as a redshirt sophomore brings its own uniqueness.

Taking classes at rival school Toledo, train-ing by herself and breaking her own records multiple times a season takes unique to a whole new level.

That is where track and field thrower and nursing major Brook Pleger is at this point in her career. Her improvement since she started throwing hammer her senior year of high school has been described as “abnor-mal,” by throwing coach Matt Conly.

For Pleger, a redshirt junior, hammer throwing has never gotten boring.

“There is always stuff for me to learn and improve on,” Pleger said. “I feel like I’m just cracking the surface for what there is to discover.”

With two full outdoor seasons left, Pleger has already left her mark in Falcon his-

tory. She was the first Falcon to score at the NCAA Championships since 2001 where she placed seventh and earned her All-American honors.

“That was off of not having a lot of experi-ence,” head coach Lou Snelling said. “She had never been to an NCAA Championship before. She handled all of that really, really well, I think that says a lot about her as a person.”

This year Pleger’s goal is to become a national champion along with retaining her MAC Championship title. The coach-ing staff has not set a number goal for her yet but she wants to hit the 70 meter mark this year.

“Her improvement has been abnormal,” Conly said. “She is less than a one percenter out of thousands who pick up a hammer. To go from never touching a hammer to 67 meters is certainly not normal.”

Pleger did not always plan on throw-ing hammer or even being on a track and field team. For 13 years, she was a gymnast

and that experience is what has helped her become the athlete she is now.

She left the gymnastics scene in high school and took the time to dabble in some other sports. She began throwing shot put and discus for Saline High School.

Like many other high schools, hers did not sponsor hammer as a competition, so the first time she picked up a hammer was in a track club ran by former BG coach Justin Carvalho.

“I fell in love the minute I started throw-ing hammer,” Pleger said. “I’ve always been someone who likes a challenge and hammer gave that to me as soon as I started.”

Her training coach at the time, Carvalho, was big into the hammer and steered her towards that event. She threw discus and shot put in high school, but she was mainly recruited in the hammer event.

By the time she started getting recruited

dancers a chance to see that college doesn’t only have to be about read-ing books or studying for tests. It’s about witness-ing passion from older dancers and interacting with those who are expe-rienced.

“It’s going to be a good experience for [younger

dancers],” Greer said. “It will give them experience to dance in front of other people and to inspire them to be proactive.”

Reynolds said the main reason in attempting to keep the yearly event going is to give new danc-ers insight into being on a team that isn’t cheer-leading or any other ordinary team.

“We chose high schools in general because we’ve

been there and we used to have dreams to just dance,” Reynolds said. “We just decided to give back to show you don’t need to go here.”

Tickets to attend the showcase are $7 at the door and $3 to attend the workshop earlier in the day. The group requires each individual to main-tain a 2.5 GPA and anyone is eligible to join if they meet the requirement.

pREVIEW From Page 3

Although the movie tells a biblical story, some think the plot is misleading from the original story of “Noah.”

Sophomore and member of Cru Michael Wenig said from a Christian’s point of view the film wasn’t factual, but a pam-phlet provided by Cru with the real story of “Noah” sparked great conversation after the viewing.

“It led for a great discussion and there was a good connec-tion with people,” Wenig said. “It was cool for them to reach out to us to see the film.”

Cru staff member Nick Gillispie said the film has time-

less and important themes people can relate to in life. It allows people to address those themes and have a conversa-tion about it with friends and family.

“It’s valuable because there’s common ground,” Gillispie said. “It doesn’t matter if some of the themes weren’t religious because the movie still had important themes for people to talk about.”

Stephens said people going to see the movie should go in knowing it’s not going to be the exact story of “Noah.” One thing that might be different for some people is the story is going to be different from the biblical story they might have been told when they were younger.”

“The story of ‘Noah’ is actu-ally really dark,” Stephens said. “There are some things in the film that will catch you off guard and students will find out that it’s not a happy story. It will lead to a better discussion and creates liberties.”

The free tickets were to bring those religious and non-religious together and to reach out to many different groups of students at the University together.

Stephens said the director, Darren Aronofsky, gave people a chance to be a part of some-thing much more than just another Hollywood film.

“The director showed us that you can bring believers and non-believers together,” he said.

BG SoftBall player swings at a pitch in their home opener against Wright State. They split the series winning the final game on a Katie Yoho game winning single.

By Brandon ShriderReporter

The BG softball team was able to play its first two home games of the season yesterday at Meserve Field.

“The atmosphere was awesome,” said head coach Shannon Salsburg. “We appreciate those who came out and supported us through the late start.”

However, with the start time being pushed back to 3:30 p.m., both teams appeared to start the game without a sense of urgency.

“We had some early oppor-tunities, but we missed the chances to score,” Salsburg said.

The score stayed locked at zero through five frames before Wright State pushed

three across the plate in the final two innings.

“We tell our pitchers you don’t have to be perfect,” Salsburg said. “[Jamie Kertes] just missed her spots with some curveballs and they took advantage of it.”

After a good start, keep-ing Wright State off the board for much of the game, the Falcons suffered the loss after not scoring a run of their own.

“It’s a bummer and we’re disappointed that we couldn’t get the sweep yesterday, but we rebounded well in the sec-ond game,” Salsburg said.

The second game was a different story for both the Falcons and the Raiders as the teams accumulated 11 runs on 21 combined hits.

“We played our ball,”

Salsburg said. “We attacked early much better, and [Katie] Yoho started off the scoring early with her homerun.”

Bowling Green collect-ed multi-hit games from freshmen Aspen Searle and Madison Schrock, as well as seniors Yoho and Erika Stratton. Haley Schrock, Marisa Shook, and Emily McClelland each added a hit as well.

Braiden Dillow took the circle for the second game ultimately giving way to first-game starter, Kertes as Kertes helped keep the game close.

With the Falcons trailing late, Searle was able to tie the game with an RBI double, and Yoho gave Kertes and the Falcons the win with her walk-off single in extra innings.

“We won’t quit until the

very last pitch, we fight until the end,” Salsburg said.

The 1-1 split on Wednesday gives the Falcons a 12-17-1 record for the year as they travel to Muncie, Ind. on Friday and Oxford, Ohio on Saturday to continue con-ference play against Miami University and Ball State University.

Miami will enter the week-end on a 3-game winning streak with a 14-15 record and a 2-0 record in the Mid-American Conference, while Ball State has yet to play a conference game, but carries an 18-12 overall record.

“We know these teams are quality opponents, but we’re focused on playing our ball,” Salsburg said. “If we stay focused on us, we will be a pretty scary team at the end.”

Softball splits home opener to Wright State

pretty heavily, she already knew that she would be attending BG. The University had the coach she had been training with in high school and was a good distance from her Ann Arbor home.

In 2011, Pleger’s sopho-more year coach Snelling became head coach and brought coach Conly over as his throwing coach. Every time a new coach comes in there is a transi-tion period, but this was even more difficult for Pleger as it would be her first year without Carvalho

training her. Adju st i ng to c oach

Con ly’s ways took some t i me especia l ly because he used to ca l l her a cr y baby when he f i rst ca me i n.

“It took her some time to mature as a thrower and a person,” Conly said.

Their relationship has now expanded to where Pleger sets her own training regime. Although Conly has the final say he gives Pleger a lot of freedom to do what feels right to her.

“I wanted to throw far, I wanted to do good so I knew I needed to let that attitude go and kind of just give myself to what he thought would work then,” Pleger

said. This year, Pleger is tak-

ing nursing classes at the University of Toledo in the afternoon, which makes it difficult for her training time. She has started to train at different times by herself.

“It’s hard this year being a captain because I don’t get to be there as much for them as I would like,” Pleger said.

Pleger is a unique athlete being an All-American but her training schedule and class schedule makes her situation even more unique.

“Throw ing is my escape,” Pleger said. “It’s like my escape from everything … I don’t think I ever need an escape from throwing.”

wrongly. She wishes to stay anonymous and said she was shocked when she got it.

“I didn’t really know what it was until I read further down,” she said. “If I were in [the vic-tim’s] shoes, I’d be pissed.”

The student said she thinks the system should be changed.

“[It was] definitely sensitive information with specific peo-ples’ names, the suspect and everything,” she said.

Jodi Webb, dean of Students, wasn’t directly involved in the process but said “as an institu-tion, [we] put students’ confi-dentiality at the top of our list.”

“When we work with stu-dents in any situation, we don’t want them to have reasons to question credibility,” Webb said. “I think that this is a case where an error was made, obviously there was not intent to share it with anyone.”

Moll said what she did “goes against what I’m out there trying to do” as police chief because it could cause victims to not report sexual offenses, she said.

“It’s so hard to get victims to come forward to begin with,” Moll said. “[It was] an unin-tentional disclosure; in some cases I think that could just make it harder.”

Moll said these situations are often dealt with through email because it allows for a faster response.

A benefit to emailing the information can be that it

chronicles what happens and allows for fast responses, Webb said.

“If we say ‘OK, we aren’t going to use email at all,’ what I worry about is it may slow down response time to situ-ations that need attention. I think that could be a negative repercussion if we were to say we won’t transmit electroni-cally,” Webb said. “I think in the era we live in ... anytime we’re transmitting informa-tion ... there’s always that possibility that someone else gains that knowledge inad-vertently. It happens. I think there’s always that risk.”

In this case, the student who filed the report said she was responded to very quickly.

Sometimes a quick response can come at a cost.

The student who filed the report was notified that her information was sent to an uninvolved student, and she said she “wasn’t really upset because it wasn’t really super personal about myself.”

Though she wasn’t upset about it, the mistake may have violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects students’ private educational records.

A representative from the Ohio Board of Regents, a coor-dinating body for Ohio high-er education, said they don’t think “the University misun-derstands or misapplied the rule, but made a mistake.”

The Board of Regents’ legal counsel did not know what laws may have been violated

when the email was sent to the wrong recipient.

“No amount of incompe-tence will ever violate FERPA,” said a representative of the Student Press Law Center.

However, the policy may violate Title IX or be an ordi-nary breach of privacy, he said.

The victim doesn’t intend to file any complaints against the University or press charges against the alleged perpetrator.

As to whether or not other students would be bothered, she said “I think it would depend on each student and their own personal prefer-ence.”

The student who received the report Snapchatted it to a friend to see if they had gotten it and then emailed it to two of her trusted friends, one who was a BG News reporter.

She said no one contacted her to tell her it was confi-dential, but she did delete the email.

She said she would have known right away not to email it if there had been a confiden-tiality notice on the email, but there wasn’t.

“I’m beginning to see why people have a big disclaimer [notice], because [email] is the way the world’s work is getting done now,” Moll said.

Though the student who received the email said no one reached out to her, Moll said she notified the victim that the email had been sent in error. She said if the student hadn’t come forward, the University might never have known about the mistake.

push closer to that mark and [Harrington] has been up there too … [but Harrington] has had an injury. I think our goal for them is to have a great experience, hit their routines and put their best gymnastics

out there.” The three Falcons will need

to be on their “A” game as they head into Baton Rouge, La., home of the Louisiana State University Tigers.

“I don’t think it is going to phase them that much because they have done well in a variety of arenas this year,” Turner said. “So I think,

if anything, they are feeling they just get to go for it and that’s what I am hoping for is that they relax but focus and really put their best gymnas-tics out there.”

The BG gymnastics team will travel to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on LSU’s campus. The meet will be Saturday, April 5 at 4 p.m.
