VACCINE ROULETTE
Self-published novels on Amazon sell 20 copies each By Alex Alusheff Managing Editor
To make it in the writing world, senior Jamee Crosby would become the person she never wanted to be. With two books self-published in late October, Crosby found there are more challenges an author has than just writer’s block. “Self-publishing is easier than I thought,” said Crosby, a middle childhood education major. “But how will people hear about it and how do I get people to buy it— that’s where I’m at. I need a following and to become social media famous.” The only problem is, Crosby hates Facebook. But she is willing to make a page just for her books. “The self publisher has to be very active in social media to find readers,” said Lawrence Coates, professor of creative writing. “You’ve got to be blogging, on Facebook and make sure you’re online a lot to create buzz about your work.” Crosby’s two books, titled “Where To Turn,” and “Finding Lauren,” available on Amazon, are coming of age stories where the main characters discover who they are. “Where To Turn” focuses on an aspiring author in New York who finds love and whose work gets accidentally discovered. She later finds things aren’t as peachy as they seem. “Finding Lauren” deals with a college graduate who moves back home unwillingly. In search of herself, the main character, Lauren, works odd jobs from waitress to stripper and has an affair with her shrink. “I write what I know, I write what I fear and I write what I think will be interesting,” Crosby said of her subject matter. “Finding Lauren” explores Crosby’s fear of moving back home. “It’s a serious topic,” she said. “While Lauren’s life is hilarious, it’s about taking things in stride and to keep a sense of humor.”

Advanced degree in popular culture unique University houses only masters program in country By William Channell Reporter
The University offers the only popular culture graduate program in the U.S. Founded in 1973, the program is as old as the entire pop culture department itself. The two-year Master of Arts program doesn’t just focus on media, television and film, said Marilyn Motz, professor and coordinator of the graduate program. “We also study other aspects of everyday life and expres-

Many health professionals recommend seasonal influenza vaccines as a preventive measure. But are they necessary? “The flu changes every year, leaving one at risk if they do not receive the shot in a timely manner,” said Faith Yingling, director of Wellness. “It’s important to protect yourself against it.” But when Ariella Centlivre received the flu shot years ago, she decided that she was more at risk with the shot. “I have never been more sick in my life,” said Centlivre, a senior. After getting the shot, Centlivre had symptoms resulting in strep throat and the flu. It was because the shot she received had the active virus in it in order to allow her body to know what the sickness was. “I can just remember the pain that I went through of not being able to swallow and spitting into a cup for a whole day until my mom took me back to the doctor,” she said. This was not the first time Centlivre got sick from receiving the shot. Her mother told her she needed to get the shot each year, but Centlivre finally had enough. “I saw a pattern,” she explained. “I told my mom that I always get sick around the same time, which happened to be right after getting the shot.” Because the vaccines now have updated medicine, students may get sick from the shot because they were already exposed to the flu prior to getting it, said Deb Busdeker, director of the Falcon Health Center.
“This is where confusion kicks in,” Busdeker said. The medication in the shots are not injecting people with the active virus like some may think, but instead an immunity covering four different types of viruses. “The shot does not go into effect until two weeks after receiving it,” Busdeker said. There are two ways students can get the vaccine: the shot and nasal spray. Yingling said that there may be mild side-effects for both types of injections. The nasal spray, which is sprayed into the nostrils, may make people feel as though they are catching a cold. The shot, which is typically given on the arm, may cause achiness, a tender arm, or flu symptoms. “I used to give my daughter a Tylenol before so it would relieve that pain later,” Busdeker said. Even though the option of nasal spray is out there, Centlivre is still not convinced there would be a difference if she got it this year. “To this day, I am still scarred from the memories of being so sick,” she said. “I just save myself a shot.” Years later Centlivre still got extremely sick, but this time, without having received the vaccine. “Yes, I still got sick but it was months after I would have gotten the shot anyway,” she said. When students get the shot, it lasts for one to two years for a reason. The flu peaks around two times a year: January-February and April-May, Yingling said. Because students at universities are around one

CVS opens location near campus, downtown By Jodi Abazoski Reporter
The pharmacy chain CVS opened its doors to Bowling Green residents this October after six months of construction. The drug store, located on the corner of South Prospect and East Wooster, will provide students with convenient access to necessary everyday items, said Doug Greek, store manager. Some of these items can be found under brightly colored signs covering the walls of the store, displaying different sections like beer, beauty, food and health. CVS also provides access to prescription medication with a full indoor pharmacy and drive-thru window. The store welcomes students who are new customers to their pharmacy
as well as those who already frequent another store, Greek said. “At BG, there are a lot of students who come from places like Cleveland, where they already have a CVS prescription,” he said, “It will be easier for them.” Sophomore Danielle Hall said she didn’t realize how excited she was about having the new pharmacy in town until she saw it finally open. “In Cleveland, we have CVS and Rite Aid right there, but while living here I haven’t always been able to get out to Walmart or Kroger,” she said. “This is walking distance for me because I live at Founders.” The CVS will eventually offer what they call a “minute clinic,” which will provide minor and inexpensive health services. “Sometime early in 2014 the minute clinic will open and there will be

The new building will actually improve the look of the “busy corridor,” she said. The buildings that were in the lot before CVS had been vacant for years. “It is a new construction, but we feel they’ve done a great job making it fit into the neighborhood,” she said. “The landscaping is nice, and it’s set back from the street a little so there is a large grassy area in front.” Tretter said the “walkability factor” is what makes CVS an asset to

After this month’s health inspection, some city restaurants accrue violations, while others come away clean By The BG News
Restaurant Report Card is a monthly series where The BG News publishes data from health inspection reports for city restaurants. The chart to the right lists the five restaurants with the most violations during health inspection. It lists the name address, inspection t y pe, number of violations and the inspectors comments in the report. The inspection type varies from standard to follow-up to complaint. A restaurant receives a standard inspection roughly two times a year. If something is wrong, they will receive a critical or noncritical violation.

A non-critica l v iolation pertains to matters such as cleanliness of kitchen or poor conditions of equipment. After an inspector finds violations, they are usually corrected on the spot or a followup will be conducted a few days or weeks later depending on the violation. If a business repeats critical violations, it meets with the health district to correct the problem. If it still repeats the violation, it could eventually

While the benefits of receiving the shot are high, students should still visit their health care provider to see if the shot is for them. “Students should not get the shot if they have severe allergies or are allergic to chicken eggs,” Yingling said. “That’s right, the vaccine medicine is actually made
with eggs from chickens.” There a re ways Busdeker said students can prevent sickness before and after receiving the shot or spray. “Wash those hands, drink lots of fluids, rest up and take Tylenol before getting to help reduce tender and soreness,” Busdeker said. Regardless of Busdeker’s advice for students, Centlivre refuses still to this day to get the shot. “I’m going to get sick [with or without] the shot,” she said. “It’s just not worth it to me anymore.”

CULTURE From Page 1 tic and enjoyable and help us understand the world,” Motz said. Motz said the wide specialization is incorporated into the coursework, which helps prepare students for a variety of careers. “[What we teach] is shared by a number of different fields,” Motz said. “They’re getting a general framework of how we study the way cultural processes work. And that is basically applicable to any field they go into.” Motz said a large part of what students learn comes from research for their theses. “They’re getting practice in doing original academic research,” Motz said. “They’re saying something new in [their] theses.” This wide specialization helps prepare students primarily for doctorate programs, though students are far from limited to going that route, said Motz. “I just got an email from a student today who was just hired full-time at [a network news channel],” Motz said. “He had heard part of the reason he was hired was because he had the degree in popular culture.” It is this history of success that has drawn students to the program. Jacob Brown, a graduate student in the program, said he was attracted to the degree by the emphasis on both learning and teaching.
“The program is really focused on the dual aspects of education and learning,” Brown said. “So while we’re working on our theses, we’re in classrooms teaching.” Brown said students serve as teaching assistants during the first semester of the program, and are then actual instructors for the remaining three semesters, teaching introductory popular culture courses. “It gives us a nice foundation for working within academia,” Brown said. Esther Clinton, a visiting professor in the program, said what makes the program special is how unique it is. “The [other programs] are top-notch, they’re all very good programs, but there are other schools that have similar programs,” Clinton said. “[With popular culture], you have to go out of the country to get a similar program.” Jeremy Wallach, a professor in the program, said the program is prominent in the academic world. “A big part of popular culture, and popular culture’s profile in the academic world, is because of our graduate program,” Wallach said. This could be because of the program’s publicity. The degree has been featured in SPIN magazine, Rolling Stone and the front page of the Wall Street Journal, Wallach said. “We lend a lot of visibility to the University,” said Wallach. “Once [our students] get out, t hey make waves.”

Alumnus works as theatrical performer rigger, makes people ‘fly’ on stage By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor
Making people fly on stage takes 100 percent perfection, at least for alumnus Bill Auld. “It’s extremely stressful to be perfect, but some of us embrace that,” said Auld, a theater graduate of the University. “I like that challenge, I like those standards.” Auld does performer rigging for theatrical shows and flies people on wires for a living. His talents range from work at a large theater in Haiti to a small community high school. Performer rigging requires mechanical and mathematical engineering while maintaining creativity with the scenery for that specific show. The backstage technician graduated with a theater degree as an undergraduate in 1994 and also earned the same degree for his

Series of performances offer instructors creative freedom; serve as example for students By William Channell Pulse Reporter
Even though viola is Matthew Daline’s main instrument, it won’t be the only thing people hear at his concert next week. Daline, a professor of viola performance at the University, will be playing a concert next Wednesday that he organized and planned himself as part of the Faculty Artist Series. The series, which is as old as the college itself, features a new concert each Wednesday, put together by a different faculty member in the college. Faculty members have creative freedom over nearly every aspect of the performance. This includes everything from what music is played to who performs, though the faculty member is always the featured performer. Daline said faculty do not have to stick to any one style or era of music. “My first concert here, I was organizing mostly a chamber music concert series,” Daline said. “This next program, I’m
doing a romantic concert.” William Mathis, professor and chair of the music performance studies department, said the college puts on faculty concerts to provide music majors with models for their own performances. They can also help music majors complete some of the 15 recitals they are required to attend each semester. “Over time, these four years, [students] are exposed to different styles,” Mathis said. “Hopefully, that will influence their performance with those styles as well.” Mathis said the concerts are also an outlet for the faculty themselves. “This constitutes [the faculty’s] research,” Mathis said. “This is the presentation of their creative work. So just like an academic, where someone would give a paper or present their research in some way, that’s essentially what they’re doing.” Daline himself is an accomplished performer. He received his undergraduate degree at the Julliard School, and spent
his graduate studies at Yale and Stony Brook University. He has also performed at Carnegie Hall and played with numerous orchestras on the East Coast. Daline said being able to see such world-class performers in Bowling Green is part of why the Faculty Artist Series is important. The faculty can bring in any other performers they want, whether they are from the University or not. “It’s a great resource for the faculty to show what we’re performing all around the country,” Daline said. “We can bring in colleagues from other colleges. This concert I’m playing coming up, I’m playing with just about the entire piano faculty.” Music major Hannah Skowronek said seeing instructors perform in any setting is important, as it gives students an idea of what their instructors are capable of. “Today I was in my conducting class and my teacher is going to

This summer I was accepted as a recipient for the Stuart R. Givens Memorial Fellowship Grant, which funded an opportunity to intern in an art gallery in New York City this past summer. While there, I interviewed several people working in New York in varying creative professions. Mike Buholtz is from Mayfield, Ohio, and a recent graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. He has been working as an intern on the ABC show “The Chew,” a daytime talk/cooking show featuring Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Clinton Kelly and Daphne Oz. As a young production itself, “The Chew” was just starting up when Buholtz became an intern in his senior year of college. Following graduation he was asked to return to “The Chew” and was able to meet with me to talk
about his experiences.

Local elections have significant Education should be challenging, not discouraging impact on voters paul mckenzie Columnist
This past Tuesday was Election Day all across Ohio. This being an off year, turnout was woefully but predictably low. On a personal note, this was the first general election I have not voted in since becoming eligible to vote 24 years ago; I moved to Columbus too late to switch my registration from Lucas to Franklin County. Despite this past election not being a congressional or presidential election, many local offices and levies were voted upon. As always, I find the results fascinating. What I find most intriguing is that so many of our fellow citizens could care less who represents them on their respective city councils, mayoral offices, school board and the like. Yes folks, who runs your town or county makes a difference. There is very little glory in being a city council person, most of these citizens run for these offices because they truly care about issues, municipalities, school systems and people. They deserve to be lauded not with words but with deeds. Those deeds are attention and votes; nothing more and nothing less. While who represent us is vitally important, we all know that without funds, nothing is accomplished. I take particular interest in not only who wins, but also what issues are successful. The three I pay most attention to are mental health levies, levies that deal with senior citizens and school levies. I understand that no one likes paying taxes but it is indeed the price we pay to live in such a nation as this. That being said, I have noticed through the years that most levies for mental health boards or facilities such as Wood Lane in Bowling Green usually pass. Levies for senior transportation or other programs that help our older citizens usually pass too. W hat cont inua l ly astounds me though are that these “yes” votes are so close. Who are these people who vote against these types of levies? How hard is their heart?
The great liberal vice president Hubert Humphrey once famously stated: “It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.” The government starts with us, with our vote and the people we elect. It also starts with caring enough to help those who need help. If we cannot vote to help senior citizens or the developmentally disabled, then what kind of people are we? As for the children, I personally have voted for every school levy put in front of me. Strong schools equal strong communities and strong communities equal a strong America. It is that simple. Yes, our way of funding Ohio’s schools has now been unconstitutional for 19 years but that is not the school systems’ fault. Those who vote against our schools must demand action in Columbus, not a third grade classroom. It is also time for our school boards to get serious across Ohio when faced with a shortage of funds. If a community will not support their school system, do not support them. Do not threaten to cut busing and extracurricular activities: do it. Will this hurt the students? You bet it will. It will accomplish a goal though; it will wake voters up that school systems need funding. Crying wolf every election only makes funding opponents stronger. Next year’s election is a big one. We will pick a governor along with all other state offices plus a new Congress and Ohio House. This will make voter turnout pick up some and that is good. The 2015 election will be like last Tuesday most likely; ignored. Please keep in mind that just because a governor or president is not being elected does not mean that not voting is fine. It is our number-one civic responsibility and to not do so is unacceptable. Remember those Hubert Humphrey spoke of. Those in the dawn, twilight, and shadows of life are counting on our votes.

Chance Shoodt Columnist
Last month I registered for my last full semester of classes as an undergraduate student at the University. My classes range from finishing up a couple of general education classes to tackling the higher level courses of my major. In past years, class scheduling has marked an exciting new chapter in my education. I often view my anticipated classes as I would a bookstore. My shopping cart of courses felt like a bag of new books, where I could not refrain from anticipating the limitless opportunity of knowledge ahead of me. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. While previous courses revealed new interests, shook my world-thinking, and challenged the foundations on which I based my life, new courses have served as busy work and are challenging only insofar as they are mere tasks to finish before the real learning can
begin again. It was instilled in me that education was a prerequisite for my future career. Recently, however, I had a job opportunity that fell through solely because I could not work and attend classes. The very thing preparing me for my future career is the only thing stopping me from obtaining one. While thinking about it, I realized that our perception of education seems remarkably outdated. The job market is changing, and so are we. The Internet and modern technology have created a limitless world of information that we cannot even begin to grasp. At any time and at any place, I can learn about absolutely anything I could ever desire to. When I took a step back from our entrenched method of education, a few questions arose. Why are we required to explore one topic, at one pre-determined time? Quite often, I find myself walking to class on a particular subject while my mind is wholly enthralled with another. Then, for the hour or more of my class, I’m required to set aside
are all available at our fingertips. While waiting to be seated at a restaurant, I completed a lesson in Spanish at Duolingo. The best part: each of these sites is free, while education at a university will cost you tens of thousands of dollars. Consider the fact that we all learn at different speeds. In the classroom, the teacher or professor is either required to move on without the student who is behind, or hold the rest of the class back to maintain the collective speed. On the Internet, you learn at your own pace and on your own time. I am no longer confined to the topics the professor asks me to explore on their time. These new educational methods are revolutionizing the way each of us learns. As time moves forward, these archaic methods will become increasingly irrelevant while the new methods eclipse them. For the sake of current and future students [as well as their bank accounts], I hope that the switch occurs sooner rather than later.
these questions my mind wanders to and pretend to be interested in the material in front of me. This has also become a problem at home. In the past, I’ve had the free time to do personal reading and research. With my current schedule, I’m so mentally exhausted from the busy work, that leisure study becomes the last thing I want to do at the end of the day. Another question: Why am I required to learn from outdated textbooks that cost me hundreds of dollars a semester? The Khan Academy [khanacademy. com], for example, has a vast library of topics that are available in the form of a short YouTube clip. They also now connect your activity with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, which socializes the educational method and incorporating your friends and family in your education journey. For those interested in learning a new language, Duolingo [duolingo.com] creates a fun way to learn vocabulary, compete against your friends, and earn badges and milestones to track your progress.

Music, concerts provides stress relief, eases anxiety Alyssa Benes Columnist
Like most college students, my life is incredibly stressful. Trying to balance school, work, friends, get enough sleep and somehow trying to retain sanity [or what’s left of it] isn’t easy at all. In fact, I tend to get really overwhelmed. Usually to combat stress, I sleep, listen to music, go out and take photos or do yoga. However, I have recently discovered probably the best way to deal with stress [at least for me]— going to concerts. Music is one of my biggest passions. I began playing the violin at age seven, switched to the cello at age ten, and have added a few more instruments to the list since then. I don’t only listen to classical, though I do love it.

discovered punk rock. I listen to more than just punk. I love pretty much everything ranging from pop-punk to metal. No matter what, music always manages to put me in a better mood and keeps my stress level manageable most of the time. Back in July, I heard about a two-day concert that six of my all-time favorite bands [one of which I had seen before, but wanted to see live again] would be playing at in October. Naturally, I had to order my tickets right that second, and worry about what October would bring later. The concert was the first weekend in October. That entire week, I was beyond stressed. I had homework assignments due, two quizzes, a project due, an exam the following week that I needed to study for and work on top of it all. It was probably one of the worst weeks of the semester at the time. Friday [day one of the concert] arrived and I
was exhausted. I wanted to go, but it seemed like such a hassle and just another thing on my list of things to do. I got there and immediately was glad I had decided to go. I got to hear my favorite bands live, be around friends, my brother and total strangers that enjoy the same music I do, sing and scream my lungs out, jump, dance, etc. and just in general, have a great time. It was one of the best nights I had experienced in a really long time. It was a late night, so I slept in the next day. I woke up feeling incredible. All of the stress from the week was gone. I found that I wasn’t frustrated with anything or anyone, worried about my grades or just plain anxious about life. I don’t exactly know how it happened, but all of the negative energy that was stress had turned positive. I’ve been to concerts before, but I honestly don’t remember the therapeutic effect
that they’ve had on me recently. Even though just listening to music makes me feel better, going to concerts is one of the best experiences. It’s about more than the music. It’s about interacting with and being around people that love the music as much as you do. It’s about being able to stand in front of the people that write the song that gets you through a bad day and realize that person is just a human being. It’s about being able to focus just on the music and shut everything else in the world out. I’m not sure why, but the concert atmosphere is calming to me. I’m normally afraid of large crowds of people, but I get so lost in the moment and music that it doesn’t even faze me. Concerts are chaotic. But to me, that chaos is the best place for me to go to in order to escape the troubles of life.

PULSE brief
‘Men of the Strip’ group to perform Nov. 12 at Howard’s Club H
Men of the Strip, a group of eight men, will be performing at Howard’s Club H in downtown Bowling Green on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Jeff Timmons, member of ‘90s band 98 Degrees, created the group a few years back with Glenn Douglas Packard in order to create a new vision for men. Packard is a famous choreographer for artists such as Ricky Martin, Usher and Whitney Houston. While there are eight men in the group, only six will be touring. Timmons said, of the men who won’t be there, one is focusing on his career while the other is

focusing on his job. “We are a singing and dancing Broadway-type group,” Timmons said. “People may think it is a strip show, but it’s not at all.” The movie “Magic Mike” gives a negative connotation to the group, he said. The tour will be traveling to places such as Texas, New York and Florida. “It will be great to see people that once were my younger fans when I was [more invested] in 98 Degrees,” Timmons said. The group will be performing multiple dancing and singing routines that may jog fans’ memories, he said. A meet and greet will be offered afterward as well. Going on tour is not the only thing Men of the Strip will be providing fans with. “We are working on a TV show called ‘Men of the Strip,’” Timmons said. “It will showcase what we are about.” Tickets are available online.
THEATER From Page 3 Master’s in 2000 after serving time in the Army. As an undergraduate, he was heavily involved with the theater department and said the program strived for open casting. “That program put me in the right mindset to step into the real world,” Auld said. “It’s a really good wake up call for you. Either I needed to be better or I needed to be realistic about my career choices. I did a little bit of both.” During his time as a student, he took a few classes with Brad Clark, a professor in the Department of Theatre and Film. Clark said Auld always worked hard on class projects and was creative. “He always thought outside the box,” Clark said. “He would really dive into the assignment and find a different solution with it. That was Bill. The fact that he now makes a living flying people through the air doesn’t surprise me.” Auld’s job requires frequent long-distant traveling, even to different countries. Auld said although it’s time away from his wife and one-year-old daughter, “it’s not any different than from someone who has any other full time job.” “When dad takes [his daughter] to work it’s a pretty good day,” Auld said. “When I come home I’m never too tired to play because that’s what I do for a living. My work is play and the worst thing you can say is there’s a lot of joy with my job.” Steve Boone, chair and assistant pro-

Alumnus, theatrical performer rigger fessor in the Department of Theatre and Film, said Auld was always a hard working student and theater was always a nice fit for him. “He was always really fast to pick things up,” Auld said. “He understood acting, design and technical things really fast. He was a really hands-on kind of person.” Auld now works on about 25 theatre shows a year while also teaching theatrics at Kent State University. Out of the many things Auld said had an impact on his career as a graduate from the University, one thing he never forgets is a piece of advice he once received as an undergraduate. “A good friend of mine said, ‘If you’re not going to be happy doing anything else, why do it?’” Auld said. “And I thought about it and said ‘you’re right.’ I realized I should dedicate myself for what I want to do and I managed to make a life of doing it.”

LOOZA Men’s basketball team begins season with Earlham College Saturday By Cameron Teague Robinson Assistant Sports Editor
Last year’s record of 13-19 will officially be in the past when the BG men’s basketba ll team starts their season against Earlham College Saturday at 2 p.m. The Falcons held their last exhibition game this past Saturday against Malone University, and they left the Stroh Center with the 87-60 win, completing a clean sweep of their two exhibitions this preseason. Senior Craig Sealey did not play in that game due to injury, and has been ruled out of the season opener as well. The biggest t hreat Earlham poses to the Falcons are its guards and their ability to attack from the perimeter. “Guarding and conta ining t heir g ua rds
a long t he perimeter,” Head basketball Coach Louis Orr said. “They have four or five returners and we will need to deal with the unknown.” He said t he new enforcement on t he ha nd-check i ng r u le hasn’t affected them as much in the exhibitions but they will still need to make adjustments. Throughout the offseason, players a nd coaches have been adjusting to the new roles and chemistry that they will have going into this season with the loss of Jordan Crawford and A’uston Ca lhoun. But, said Orr, the guys have been comeback-better and are play ing good within the system. Adjusting to the roles have gone well throughout the preseason with the two wins but the regular season is starting
Saturday and that brings in more competition and pressure to each game played. “We need to take it one game at a time,” Orr said. “This is one step towards our goal.” The Falcons have set many long-term and shortterm goals for the season but the one ultimate goal stays the same— a MidA merican Conference Championship. But they are not looking past this Earlham team to the future. “You can’t get to your ultimate goal if you don’t take care of business game by game,” Orr said. The Falcons will look to win their season opener for the third straight year this Saturday while continuing to improve to reach their ultimate goal. “This is the real thing,” Orr said. “This starts the beginning of the marathon.”

Falcons tip off against Wolverines BG women’s basketball team faces Michigan in Iona University tourney By Tara Jones Reporter
The BG women’s basketball team begins its 2013-14 season this weekend, traveling to New York for the Iona Tip-Off Tournament. The Falcons will take on the University of Michigan in the first round on Friday, Nov. 8. BG welcomes back seven letterwinners, including three starters, from a 201213 team that finished 24-11 overall and 11-5 in MidAmerican Conference play. Last year’s squad finished second in the MAC East Division and advanced to the third round of the WNIT. This year’s team adds five new players to the roster, including four freshman and redshirt sophomore Erica Donovan. Donovan will see her first action after sitting out last year as a transfer from North Carolina State University. Freshman Leah Bolton is currently sidelined due to an injury.
T h e Mich iga n Wolverines return only t hree letter w inners, including one starter, from a team who tied the program record for wins last year. The Wolverines finished 22-11 overall and 9-7 in the Big Ten Conference. UM returns just 11.6 percent of the team’s scoring from last season. Michigan leads the overall series with the Falcons 8-3, including wins over BG in the last two meetings. This is the first meeting between the teams in a decade and a half and marks the teams’ first-ever meeting at a neutral site. BG Head Coach Jennifer Roos said the Michigan game will be a “fantastic matchup” because both teams are similar with welcoming many few faces. She said the Wolverines are a team they respect greatly that could still be riding the momentum from a successful season last year. “Well, when they put on their jerseys, it still says
‘Michigan’, and they’re still in the Big Ten,” Roos said. “So, it doesn’t matter if they’re old or young, they have a tradition behind that name on their jersey.” I n Friday’s second game, the University of Arizona plays Iona College at 6:30 p.m. The Falcons will then face either Arizona or Iona on Saturday, Nov. 9. The first game Saturday will begin at 1 p.m. and the second is at 3:30 p.m. A rizona finished 12-18 overall and 4-14 in Pac12 Conference play last season. This year’s team welcomes back nine letterwinners and four starters from a year ago. The Wildcats lead the series with the Falcons 1-0. Their only meeting came in 2000, when Arizona handed BG its second-worst loss in program history, defeating the Falcons by 56 points. Iona returns eight letterwinners, including all five starters, from last

Falcons take on Mavericks in second WCHA series of the season, look to extend 2 game win streak By Corey Krupa Reporter
The Minnesota State Ma n k ato Maver ick s men’s ice hockey team will host BG Friday and Saturday night. The Falcons and Mavericks have met a total of four times. The last time the two teams met was Oct. 10, 2009 when Minnesota State won 4-1. The Mavericks hold a 3-0-1 all-time record against the falcons in their brief history together. The 18th ranked M i n n e s ot a St a t e Mavericks come into the series with a 3-3-0 record with wins coming against University of Connecticut and Bemidji State University. Head coach Mike Hastings enters his second season as their coach and earned an NCAA tourna-
ment bid last season. BG entered WCHA conference play for the first time last weekend. The Falcons defeated the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves on both nights. The Falcons are 2-0 in conference play for the first time since the 1996-1997 season. BG has not lost a game at home this season and have a record of 4-0-1 at the BGSU Ice Arena. The Falcons are 3-1-1 when they score the first goal of the game and are a perfect 3-0 when leading after the second period. BG for ward Ryan Carpenter will miss another week with a broken finger, said Coach Chris Bergeron at a press conference on Tuesday. “He can’t shoot and he can’t stickhandle,” Bergeron said. BG, however, received
good news about the injury of defenseman Connor Kucera. He suffered what Bergeron called a “very minor concussion” against Alaska Anchorage last Saturday, but is expected to play this weekend after practicing on Monday and Tuesday. “He hasn’t had any concussion type symptoms since Saturday night,” Bergeron said. “Our intention, unless he takes a step backwards which we think would have happened by now, is for him to play this weekend.” Goaltenders Tommy Burke and Tomas Sholl have shared the starting spot as both have played over 230 minutes through the first eight games of the year. Tommy Burke has allowed eight goals on 87 shots for a 1.92 goal-against average and a .916 save percentage.
Tomas Sholl has faced 83 shots, stopping 74, for a .902 save percentage and a 2.26 GAA. Senior captain Cam Wojtala scored his first two goals of the season last Friday night to give him three points on the year. Wojtala now has 58 career points in 128 total games played. Junior forward Dan DeSalvo had an assist in each game over the past week and is currently on a four game point streak for the Falcons. DeSalvo leads the WCHA in assists with eight. The Falcons penalty kill has been strong this season. BG is 39 for 47 (83 percent) on the penalty kill so far. Friday’s game in Mankato, Minn., will start at 8:37 p.m. and Saturday’s series finale will start at 8:07 p.m.
BBALL From Page 6 year’s squad that finished 20-13 overall and 13-5 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Gaels advanced to the WNIT tournament last year but fell to Drexel, eventual tournament champions who also defeated the Falcons that year. The Falcons lead the series 2-0 against Iona, with their last meeting coming in 2005 where BG claimed a 62-45 victory. Roos said playing two
games in two days will help prepare her team for their conference slate and the MAC tournament later in March. She added that the quick turnaround will test her team’s conditioning and depth, as well. “Any time you play backto-back games, no matter when it is, it will be a rigorous two days for us,” Roos said. Friday’s game against Michigan will tip off at 4 p.m. Depending upon the outcome of that game, the Falcons will then face either Arizona at 1 p.m. or Iona at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9.
Men’s Soccer team take on West Virginia Falcons travel to Morgantown for final regular season MAC match By Cameron Teague Robinson Assistant Sports Editor
The BG Men’s soccer team will play its last regular season game Friday night against West Virginia, but it may not be their last of the season. They defeated IPFW in their last regular season home game of the year, but that may be the last game of the year that has a regular season feel to it. “That game went as well as we could have hoped for,” said Head soccer Coach Eric Nichols. “IPFW has been struggling this year, but they were struggling last year and beat us.” This Friday’s match is between the two MidAmerican Conference teams fighting for the fourth and last seed in the MAC Tournament.
FOOTBALL From Page 6 Johnson looked composed throughout. Not a single pass was over-thrown and even his one blemish – the interception – was a miscommunication. wPoised, not scared to take the hit yet scrambles when he needs to, Johnson reminds me of Roethlisberger. One particular drive, after handing the ball off to the big running back William Houston twice for no gain, Johnson called his own number and powered through for the first down.
The Falcons must win this game to advance to the MAC Tournament semifinals, but the Mountaineers only need a tie as they hold the tiebreaker. “This is a huge MAC game,” Nichols said. “There is no extra pressure; pressure doesn’t do us any good in these games.” The schedule the Falcons have allow them to be ready for this type of game, Nichols said. That schedule included games against nationally ranked teams University of Michigan, Milwaukee, Marquette and Akron as well as regionally ranked teams Ohio State and Michigan State. West Virginia brings in eight wins to the game Friday as well as some great attacking players to the field Friday as two of their players are at the
top of the conference in scoring. If schedules are any indication then this should be a very even match as both teams lost to MAC opponent Akron University 0-1. They both also took Michigan to extra time as the Falcons tied 1-1 the Mountaineers lost 1-2. The attitude around the team this year has always been to play every game like it is the MAC championship this might as well be for this team. This is a win or go home match for the Falcons and the last chance these seniors get to win a MAC tournament championship. “These seniors have been awesome,” Nichols said. “They have carried this program to a program a lot of people from students, alumni and fans can be proud of.”
Johnson doesn’t deserve all the credit, Coach Dave Clawson was the one that just decided to stick to a simple game plan. Keep everything in front of you, force them to drive at you and just take the simple plays – don’t overdo it. After two heart-wrenching losses, BG did just that. Granted it was against one of the worst football teams in the nation, but they needed to punch back. Clawson always says to take it one week at a time, but after the loss to Toledo, the team has shifted its focus. They now are fixated on Detroit – for the MAC championship game.
Miami was just another stop in the path. The game that really mattered Tuesday was the Ohio and Buffalo game. With both teams ahead of BG in the MAC East standings, one of them was going to lose, and both are still on BG’s schedule. Ohio lost and now BG moved past Buffalo. Ohio is up next followed by struggling Eastern Michigan and concluding with Buffalo. Win out and the MAC East title is theirs, but the Falcons cannot stumble now – and with a quarterback like Johnson, I wouldn’t bet against them.
