‘THE WORKS’

By Abby Welsh Reporter

Many students may know what a sorority or fraternity is, but some may not fully understand the purpose of being in one. F o r m a l recruitment for the Panhellenic soror it y l i fe ended Sunday by welcoming new members into each Holly chapter a nd Grunn introducing Fraternity and them to what it Sorority Life really means to coordinator be in a sorority. Recruitment officially began Sept. 19. Holly Grunn, coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life, said there were many changes to this year’s formal recruitment so students can better understand what they are getting into. “I think we’ve made a lot of positive changes with our process and engaged the whole community,” Grunn said. “It’s all of our job to make sure the potential new members have a good experience.” One of the changes made this year was an information session students had to attend to learn what being in a sorority truly means, as well as what the process would be like. During formal recruitment, there are three rounds potential new members go through. In past years, the members would go to each house and talk to each sorority. This year, the first round was moved to the Union, where each sorority house had their own table. “We just changed the first round to be in the Union to kind of have a level playing field and have the women focus more on the conversations they’re having with the potential new members rather than showing them around the house,” Grunn said. “That first impression shouldn’t be based on how pretty or how big the house is but should be based on the quality of conversations with the sorority members.” Olivia Galinger, freshman, said this year’s process was well structured, which reassured her decision to go Greek.

Financial services help students Management system aims to relieve stress By Geoff Burns Reporter

For some students, trying to pay for college can be stressful, but Student Money Management Service at the University aims to help them out. SMMS is a service that educates students on how to save, spend and budget their money in order to make easier financial decisions regarding such things as bills, student loans and rent. The service came about from the request of students in April 2007, when everything they bought was billed straight to their bursar accounts from using a card, said Patricia Donnelly, program manager at SMMS. Donnelly said it was like hav ing a credit card, and not paying attention to the cha rges t hat were being made ultimately gave birth to the BG1 card. “Students didn’t rea lly have an appreciation to the charges that were going on and so that’s why they created the BG1 card,” Donnelly said. “Student loan debt has been the highest that it’s ever been. We just want to help students become more aware of the debt they are accumulating so that they can keep an eye on it.” The service, which includes in-class presentations and group work, also offers oneon-one counseling sessions. SMMS Financial Education Coordinator Heather Wilson, said the most beneficial section of t he ser v ice is t he counseling sessions. “Through these sessions we can talk about their personal and financial situation in a private setting,” Wilson said. “We usually get to a little bit more of a detailed information in terms of helping out with their financial situation and making sure they’re more confident with their finances.” The SMMS is a service for the entire student body, however, very few students have taken advantage of the financial assistance, Donnelly said. Donnelly said she has been

New course offers nonprofit, volunteer experience

PREPARING FOR FESTIVITITES

Students participate in variety of real world business activites, work with companies By Emily Gordon Reporter

A new course is being offered this fall for students interested in working with minorities through community organizations after graduating. The new School of Cultural and Critical Studies is offering Gender, Race and Communitybased Practice, a service-learning course in which students work with women and girls in the Toledo area, said Dr. Sarah Smith Rainey, who teaches the course. Students thinking of working in

the nonprofit sector are prepared for women’s and minority group issues through class readings and service hours, Rainey said. The class will also allow students to spend a lot of time learning about social movements, Rainey said. “A lot of them have read about them but never had the chance to work with the community,” she said. “This class gives them that chance, and I think that’s really empowering.” Students taking the course are working with local organizations Perrysburg Heights Community Association, Adelante and

CAMPUS BRIEF

President Obama to speak at Stroh Center

Tickets are now available online to attend Wednesday’s “Grassroots Event with President Barack Obama” at the Stroh Center. Attendees can reserve their free tickets online and begin picking them up at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, according to an e-mail by the Obama campaign. Upon signing up online, where just an e-mail and zip code is required, people will be given locations where they can pick them up. All tickets are first come, first serve. President Obama is scheduled to speak on campus Wednesday afternoon as part of his campaign trip through Ohio, a crucial swing state for this November’s election. Obama visited Cincinnati and Columbus last week.

HISTORY From Page 1 At the meetings, members plan museum trips and possible bake sales to raise money for the trips, Pfundstein said. “If you help with the fundraising, then your way is paid,” she said. Pfundstein said that those members wanting to go on the trip can also pay a small fee to go to the Chicago museum. “I really like the collection of modern art. It’s kind of like a candy shop for your eyes,” she said. At the Chicago museum, Pfundstein said she sees a lot of works she grew up seeing. “Being able to see that in real life, there’s nothing like that,” she said. The museum also has

some renaissance and Egyptian art, she said. AHA’s biggest event, however, takes place in the spring, Pfundstein said. In the spring, AHA will host the BGSU Annual Sy mposium for A rt History, said Stephanie L a ng i n-Hooper, an instructor in the School of Art and AHA’s faculty adviser. This is a national conference in which undergraduates from all over t he cou nt r y present research papers on art and various scholars give presentations, La nginHooper said. Langin-Hooper said conferences such as this can help to acquaint AHA members with what a career as an art history scholar is like. “Holding conferences

and presenting research papers is something scholars do for their entire career,” she said. Junior Meg Gamm, vice president and co-treasurer of AHA, plans on presenting a paper at the conference. “It’s actua lly going to be really prestigious in the mid-west area,” Gamm said. Gamm, an art history major, said AHA has helped her prepare for her career as a possible curator of a museum or an editor of an art magazine. “[AHA] kind of sets you up to do what you want,” Gamm said. “I’ve learned so much new stuff just being with people who appreciate art like I do.” Pfundstein said AH A, which is open to a l l majors, a l low s l i keminded students to dis-

cuss art together. “Generally with art history classes, you just sit in a lecture in a dark room,” she said. Langin-Hooper agreed with Pfundstein. “I think it’s important to create a community for students so they have a support system and can connect with other students with the same interests,” Langin-Hooper said. The meetings can consist of whatever topics the members bring up for discussion, Pfundstein said. She said that members of the organization take the subjective emotions that art makes them feel and objectively analyze an artwork’s value. “We kind of deconstruct the art and talk about what the art means,” Pfundstein said. AHA also hosts what’s

round, the less nervous I got,” Galinger said. “After that, it just turned into pure excitement.” Students join sororities for many reasons, but for freshmen Claire Feyche and Devan Hearst, it was all about sisterhood and family. “I marched for three years in high school, and being in marching band was like being in one big family and I chose that for myself in high school so I thought, why not choose that for myself in college?” Feyche said. “I wanted to join a sorority for the sisterhood and

the lifelong friends I will gain from this experience,” Hearst said. “I was in cheerleading in high school so being in a sisterhood means a lot to me.” After going through the process, Feyche said it was more than worth it and recommends girls experience it. “I definitely recommend this to any girl, but especially to shy girls,” Feyche said. “I met so many girls these past five days who said they were shy their freshman year of college and after joining a sorority they made a lot of friends.”

they were most concerned about, said senior Shayna Noonen. Topics include body image and getting into college. “From their answers, we’ll find out what to talk about at the conference,” Noonen said. “It’s all about showing them there are all sorts of opportunities [available],” Rainey said. Noonen, an ethnic and women’s studies major, said she is enjoying the class so far. Noonen said she is putting her Spanish minor to good use by volunteering for

Adelante as an administrative assistant for the class’ service hours requirement. “There is a personal and professional component to this class,” Noonen said, “And it’s very action oriented, which is really refreshing.” Noonen will tutor children whose first language is not English and need to be brought up to speed in their schoolwork, she said. Kelsey Klein, a senior majoring in women’s gender and sexuality, said she is pleased to experience aspects of her career field already.

MONEY From Page 1 in the SMMS since 2008 and hasn’t seen too many students using it. “Last year we topped over 100 students coming in to see us individually and that was the highest that we’ve had so far,” Donnelly said. “We’d like to see some more students coming in, especially students who are about to graduate and have some student loan debt so that we can talk with them

“Working with the community is what I want to do with my life,” Klein said, “This class gives me a foot in the door there.” Klein is volunteering for the organizations by working with teenage girls on the service projects they are putting together, she said. Past projects have included a community garden and a river clean-up, she said. “It’s always good to interact with other people,” Klein said. “You don’t just learn about them. You learn things about yourself in the process.”

called Public Domain Thursdays twice a month. During these, the organization shows movies that no one owns the rights to. “We w a nt something that has aged well because movies that were produced a long time ago fit into the aesthetic of that era,” she said. “AHA tries to choose movies that not only have historic quality, but are also fun to watch.” Langin-Hooper said these events are the best way for new members to get involved. “The movies that they show generally relate to ancient art history,” she said. “That’s just for fun mainly so the students get to know each other.” The next one is October 11 at 5 p.m. in room 204 of the Fine Arts Center, Pfundstein said.

“I think one of the basic tenets of art is kind of a connective quality,” she said. “People just want to talk about art.” Pf undstein said A H A has been inconsistent with the amount of members, so she would just like to see it continue to remain an important organization. “I’d also like to see it travel further,” she said. Pfundstein said she would like the organization to one day have the resources and membership to travel to further places such as New York City. Langin-Hooper was also positive about the future of AHA. “I think what they’re doing right now is fantastic,” Longin-Hooper said. “I think that they will continue to expand and grow the organization.”

and make sure they’re ready for repayments.” Graduate st udent Kenneth Rutski said he thinks SMMS serves a great purpose in helping students with financial assistance. “If you’ve come from a family who have always just bought and bought and not really knew about the ramifications, you’re not going to know how to budget your money especially when you don’t have a lot of money to begin with,” Rutski said. “It’s a good idea to have

someone to show how to do that,” he said. The service is open to all students throughout the school year and is free of charge. The office is located at 205 Moseley Hall and its hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. “Its not a bad thing to discuss your finances,” Wilson said. “The earlier they start getting a jump on their understandings of their finances, the better they will be in the long run.”

Once I agreed that hate speech should be banned, as the author of the Letter to the Editor “Free speech protected until it becomes hate” advocated, but now I couldn’t disagree more. My change of heart was prompted by a German student I knew who informed me that Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” which I was reading at the time for a paper on the Holocaust, was actually banned in Germany as hate speech.

all need to ask ourselves what we are trying to do. Are we trying to build a better nation or a more prosperous one? Even if we can come back strong from this economic slump we’re in, it will mean nothing if our country remains as socially backward as it was before. I would rather my children inherit a tolerant America than a wealthy America if I had to choose

between the two. We have become a nation obsessed with profit and material gain. The extent to which advertising has infected our daily lives is only getting worse. I don’t care if you agree with me or not. Just think about it, and get out and vote.

Having at this time used a lot of the information gathered from the book to back up my thesis, I was instantly struck by how intellectually impoverishing that ban must be on the average German’s understanding of their nation’s history. Not only that, but since there are still fascist elements lurking in Germany, I also came to the opinion that the ban was probably not in the best interest of the average German in another way, as it surely limited their knowledge of the Neo-Nazis ideology to the point of making it

harder to confront. I am now a strong defender of the right to hate speech, not because I believe that it vicariously defends my own right to free speech (though this is part of it), but because I want the right to hear and read. As Christopher Hitchens put it, “It’s just not the right of the person who speaks to be heard, it is the right of everyone in the audience to listen and hear. And every time you silence someone you make yourself a prisoner of your own action.” To the author and oth-

ers of his opinion on the University campus, let me say that I don’t like encountering hate speech, but I need to — we all do. We need it out in the public, we need it out in the light where it can be known and demystified. By banning our own right to hear and read hate speech we may save ourselves from some annoyance and offense, but we do so while mortally wounding ourselves as well.

As human beings, we are neither infallible nor all-knowing, and an opinion we despise may, in fact, be true. Moreover, if an opinion is incorrect, it may contain even a slight portion of the truth that would have otherwise gone undiscovered had it not been protected. Further, even if the opinion’s censors were 100 percent true, if their ideas were not permitted to be vigorously contested, we would not confidently believe or understand the idea, but simply agree to it as a prejudice — a belief we cannot provide an explanation for. A few commentators, including fellow BG News columnists, have expressed worries regarding where the line is drawn between hate speech and protected speech. Admittedly, this is a tremendously difficult issue and isn’t one easily answered in a short column. Alas, I’m going to have a go at it; please bear with me. In the Supreme Court case Terminiello v.

in 1949, Justice Douglas said in his majority opinion that, “[Free Speech] best serves its high purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are or even stirs people to anger.” It is within this thought that I believe the true beauty of expression lies. It is necessary to challenge popular opinion, to be the lonely dissenter. Another Supreme Court case often cited is Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire in 1942, where the Court defined “fighting words” as expressions that, by their very utterance, inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. The connotation usually paired with this sentiment is that words can cause psychological harm, as one columnist previously mentioned. The definition of “fighting words” was later clarified to mean words that actually tend to provoke an immediate violent fight — the true connotation of “inflict injury.” Since Chaplinsky, the Supreme Court hasn’t decided a single case in which it deemed speech to be sufficiently an instance of fighting words. In my honest opinion,

From the time students began to flood the campus walkways at the beginning of the year, strolling from class to class, many quickly noticed they were not alone. Most students have not had to bother looking for this organization for they have done a remarkable job of being found. Perhaps “found” is an inadequate description; eagerly identified or obnoxiously presented, rather. In fact, once approached, most every student feels as if they are the ones being identified. Well, you are. “Are you registered to vote?” In the atmosphere of the presidential campaign, dodging this question in the classroom and then between classes makes you feel like you are in the next Mission Impossible movie. So, the big question is — who are they? Answer: Organizering for America. They have been the ones

lingering in front of the BA, Olscamp, the Education Building, Eppler, University Hall, the Union, like land sharks waiting to give the next passer by their registration spiel. Many of you have experienced them first hand in classrooms passing out registration forms as well. All this for what? Who do they represent? Are they some politically conscientious organization that believes the youth vote is a dwindling demographic? Are they attempting to just register students to instigate political activity? That is how it would seem to appear. They show no concern for what party they are registering, as long as they are getting registration cards. But, they are not nonpartisan; they do indeed have an official political stance. OFA is a non-profit community organization that focuses on developing grass roots with the backing of the Democratic Party.

WWW.BGNEWS.COM

PHILLIP MARTIN COLUMNIST I feel for several people my age who have worked at a fast-food restaurants. The work there stinks. Try working for one during the summer and you might end up feeling like me for the two summers I did. My time was miserable working at a fast food chain in the summer of 2010. I tried to make some extra money before my freshman year. Well, I made money — a fairly meager amount, that is. I didn’t even earn enough to get a tax return the following spring. The following summer, I worked at yet another chain. Some of these places say you can “have it your way” there. If I had it my way, I wouldn’t have started there in late June. Textbooks depleted every bit of income I made there. So, yet again, I was scratching pennies until my refund check from the bursar came in, thank, God. The problem many and I faced in my area was that both chains over-hired crew members for the summer. That means a few select crew members got their forty hours per week, while I received ten in two weeks. My paycheck craved for hours. The worst thing that happens is when you’re the least favorite or least tenured crew member on a slow day. When the manager feels the need to send someone home, you can guess who draws the short straw – just like clockwork. Underpaid employment is another problem. Most crew members at these chains only make minimum wage. For what? To get fussed at for making orders too slow and pleasing guests with food that is just as unhealthy and unpresentable as it is in real life compared to its presentation on TV commercials. But don’t just hear the complaints from me. A colleague from my church called a chain they worked at in Marion, Ohio “evil.” They pounded their face with their fists for comic relief when sharing that. I have no idea what position this friend held, but apparently their experiences were brutal. Another friend worked at this same chain in his hometown Maple Heights, Ohio.

STOODT From Page 4 the fighting words doctrine demeans those affected by deeming them incapable of listening peacefully to upsetting words and ideas. Another challenging idea presented is that of inciting violence — the common example being shouting, “Fire!” in a crowded theater. In Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969 and later confirmed in Hess v. Indiana in 1973, the Supreme Court ruled that in order to qualify as punishable incitement, the speech must be “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” The key word here is “imminent.” In the latter case, a Vietnam protester allegedly threatened that, “we’ll take the ... street later.” The court ruled in favor of the protester stating that

“Don’t you hate the tedious routines? Flip the hamburgers (and develop carpal tunnel). Salt the fries. Sweep the floor.” His sandwich dressing duties were rough. He took the brunt of his manager’s anger when the cooks weren’t fast enough to make his orders to garnish. This friend also lacked hours in his tenure there. His first paycheck was so pitiful his mother handed him a $20 bill so he didn’t have to bother cashing it, he said. Don’t you also hate the tedious routines? Flip the hamburgers (and develop carpal tunnel). Salt the fries. Sweep the floor. Take a rag and wipe down everything when you’re not busy. Empty the trash cans in the dumpster (I hated this the most). Just look like you’re busy and your manager won’t fuss. How about dipping your arms elbow-deep in pickle jars? My mom did this many times while working in Newport News, Va. many years ago. She disliked the cold bitter juice so much while the fast food smell always made my dad hungry when he picked her up. Well, an up-side is that at least employees get a discount on the food — until they get tired of it. One of my ex-coworkers could eat cheeseburgers and fries for lunch each day at work. Two others said it made their stomachs upset. In all seriousness now, the fast food jobs can be good for us. Not all of us will have a smooth road to successful office jobs that make $50,000 per year right after college. But fast food jobs help us reach goals like that — as long as we advance from them. My dad is right when he says fast food jobs are entry-level. However, the brutal truth is that some of us won’t ever advance from those jobs for whatever reason. For some, it’s all they can find. Then, for others it truly becomes an adulthood profession. Let’s hope and pray many of us will advance from fast food so we won’t have to flip burgers for 40 plus years.

Hess’s “threat” amounted to nothing more than advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time. In other words, the suggested illegal act wasn’t “imminent.” There’s a clear difference between rallying a mob in an attempt to commit illegal action now, and suggesting illegal action ought to be taken sometime in the future. Now, the implications are interesting. The most recent example of expression-induced violence is the attack on US embassies with the alleged cause being an online, antiMuslim film. The unlawful act, in this situation, is the violence and not the film. Consider the alternative; we ought not allow ourselves to be bullied into silence. Tyranny, including anything from popular opinion to an oppressive regime, should be challenged and not feared. This is one of the reasons we claim to employ

Presidential debates need revision PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST

We are rapidly approaching the quadrennial spectacle that is quintessentially American: the Presidential debates. In the recent past, they’ve had a somewhat checkered history due to a dearth of in-depth analyses, punctuated by moments of hilarity as well as memorable quotes. Simply stated, we can do better. We deserve better. A relatively few changes should be implemented that would improve these debates and make them even more informative and beneficial to the public. A good source of improvements to our current debate format might be some ideas taken from t he Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. Consisting of debates across seven cities in Illinois, the format remained identical for each debate. One candidate spoke for 60 minutes; the other for 90 minutes, and the first was entitled

EMS From Page 4 — more importantly, getting Obama elected back in 2008. Shortly after his inauguration, the name was formally changed to Organizing for America. OFA acted as an on-call network of staff and volunteers that would be summoned in order to increase support pieces of President Obama’s legislation. Te c h p r e s i d e n t . c o m , a Democratic info blog, highlighted the efforts of Organizing for Obama in light of President Obama’s health care bill: “Indeed, the sheer numbers of actions tallied by OFA in the last ten days are impressive: Made nearly 500,000 realpeople calls to Congress, sent 324,000 letters to Congress, held nearly 1,200 health care-related events with more than 10,000 attendees, sent nearly 1 million localized text messages and called nearly 120,000 supporters using OFA’s Neighbor-to-Neighbor tool online.” On the surface, this would appear to be nothing more than a miraculous grass roots effort to rally support for a common belief. However, in January 2010 the Supreme Court rested on an important case in

If an aggressor attacks an individual for their opinion, law enforcement’s duty is to stop the true unlawful actor, the violent aggressor. This legal system exists to protect our freedoms, not allow others to curb them. In conclusion, I agree wholeheartedly with the other columnists. We, having claim to these freedoms of expression, must accept a special responsibility to use them properly and maturely; to keep in mind and accept the consequences and to overall encourage an environment where we can all peacefully share in constructive discourse. As always, the answer to poor speech is more speech.

to a 30-minute reply or “rejoinder.” Now, it’s doubtful a modern candidate would want (or be able) to speak on a topic for 60 minutes, let alone 90. It’s also doubtful the American people, with our ever-decreasing attention spans, could tolerate two hours of continuous political oratory. But some adaptat ions of t he Lincoln-Doug las for mat wou ld ser ve to i mprove ou r rei nc a rnat ion of t he polit ica l debate. Depending on the format, our modern Presidential debate could consist of two-minute responses, or five-minute discussions or 90-second closing statements. This is ill-suited for any deep analysis of our present issues. Today’s problems are monumental and complex. The dollar amounts are in the billions and trillions and the impact of our leaders’ decisions will affect generations yet to come. To adequately address these problems and inform voters requires adequate response time in a debate, which the present format does not permit.

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, regarding campaign financing laws. The ruling would allow for corporations and unions to directly support a candidate or party, with corporate or union funds. The decision in 2010 overturned both, Austin V. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and McConnell V. Federal Election Commission, two cases that did not allow for corporations or unions to support a presidential candidate or campaign. Citizens United is a democratic support party, and after the Supreme Court settled, corporations and unions would be as well. To highlight how constitutionally troubling this is, let us evaluate the following strands of events: In 2008, President Obama was elected, primarily from the support of Obama for America, one of the largest grass roots movements for a candidate. In 2009, Obama for America is renamed to Organizing for America. In 2010, the Supreme Court rests on Citizens United V. Federal Election Commission, which allows corporate and union funding to support parties and candidates, but through a third party. Later, in 2010 we witness the passing of the Health

A one or two minute sound bite does neither the candidate nor the problem any justice. Also, quite often in our modern debates, the candidate’s response may not always actually answer the question asked. And very few questioners remind candidates that the specific question remained unanswered. An improvement would be a modification of the Lincoln-Douglas format. Each candidate would be allowed a much longer time to speak on a selected issue – say, 15 to 30 minutes to elaborate on a general topic, with specific questions to follow. These questions could come from either the moderator or the other candidate. These general topics would be given in advance to the candidates. In this way, the candidate would be able to address both the specific topic and any closely related topics with more elaboration. An additional improvement to the debate format would allow these events to be even more informative: exclude the public from the debate.

Care Reform Bill. Organizing for America is the grass roots voice for President Barrack Obama, and in 2010 the Supreme Court allowed them almost unlimited access to funds, outside of a campaign year. Imagine the power if Obama was passing a bill to give tax cuts to Unions. The amount of union dollars thrown at Organizing for America would allow them to push the bill around the world. But the worst part of it all, who is their opposition to any particular bill? The President of the United States has a personal army waiting next to him to advocate for whatever he wants to do. Just like we have seen here on campus, Organizing for America is not an organization; it’s a following. Even while forcing their ways into our faces and walking into our classrooms, I could not even find them registered as a student organization. So if you want to get involved, join College Democrats or Students for Romney/College Republicans. Just leave the corporate financed lobbying groups in Washington.

It may seem counterintuitive, but consider the debates’ recent history: all too often, the moderator has had to remind the audience to remain silent and respectful. This takes time that could be better spent by a candidate or questioner. Presently, the audience does little more than serve as a cheering section for their candidate or against their opponent, which prevents the quiet consideration and reflection of what is being said. Presidential debates should not be the venue for exciting the party faithful or for conducting a pep rally. That’s the function of a political convention. Debates are held to explore current issues in-depth and allow candidates to give a hopefully probing analysis of the problems and their recommended solutions. The Presidential debates can aid and improve that tradition by implementing a few reforms that will enable a fuller expression of views and interrogatories.

...NOT A GOOD DAY

After being shutout 37-0 by Virginia Tech, the Falcons will look to regroup and refocus By Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor

BG lost to Virginia Tech by a score of 37-0 this Saturday, in a pretty cut-and-dry whipping. The Falcons were smothered like pouring syrup on pancakes. “Obviously when you get shut out, it’s not a good day,” said head coach Dave Clawson. Nothing seemed to go the Falcons way on the field and all aspects of the game were struggling. The failure to put up any points is the most notable however the defense failed to stop 37 points worth of opposing offense. “What struggle didn’t we have?” asked Clawson. “We didn’t play well across the board.” The offense was plagued going three-and-out on every possession except one 9-play drive that resulted in a turnover on downs. By the end of the day, BG punted eight times while adding on three turnover on downs, an interception and a fumble. Matt Schilz went 9-for-26 for 87 yards before he was replaced with Matt Johnson. Johnson didn’t have much success following his third quarter substitution as he

Reuland, Chiricosta, Hill and Brozovich win championships for Falcons

By Jacob Beverly Reporter

The Falcons were able to capture four championships once all was said and done at the BGSU Invitational, Saturday afternoon. The team combined to win two singles and two doubles championship, and came away with the most overall championships as a team. “It helped that we were at home, having home-court advantage, and that at the top of the line-up we had already played a tournament before and got those matches in,” said Head Coach Penny Dean. “But we just have competitors and fighters on our team that are going to stay out there until they win.” BG was able to post a combined overall record of 21-7, going 11-6 in singles play and 10-1 in doubles play.

Juniors Emily Reuland and Nikki Chiricosta were both able to win singles and doubles championships, teaming up in doubles play for the top flight. While senior Mary Hill and freshman Katie Brozovich were able to win the fourth flight doubles championship. In the top singles flight, Reuland pulled out a close match that ended in a superset tiebreaker. Reuland split a pair of sets with Xavier’s Alexandra Brinker, winning the first set 6-2, but falling in the second set 6-3 and eventually winning the tiebreaker 10-5. “A lot of times I might give a player a little bit of strategy, but with Emily I really focused on the last four games of her second set,” Dean said. “We made up our minds that in the tiebreaker, Emily was going to hit all spin serves to Brinker’s

back-hand and during points she was going to play Brinker’s back-hand until she had a good fore-hand, then use her forehand angle shot cross court. And Emily executed it beautifully and it worked great.” Reuland now has a perfect 18-0 career record at the BGSU Invitational. She has been able to win a singles and doubles championship in each of the past three years. Chiricosta, who won a doubles title with Reuland, also won a singles championship winning in straight sets against Cincinnati’s Ashleigh Witte. Chiricosta now holds a 16-2 career record at the BGSU Invitational. As a freshman, she won a doubles title, then as a sophomore won a singles titles and now as a junior she was able to win both. “It means a lot to me to win both championships,”

Chiricosta said. “Not only does it feel great to win in front of our home crowd but I saw a lot of the competitors that we will be facing in our spring season so it was good to be able to beat some of my eventual competition.” With the championship in doubles for Hill and Brozovich, Hill has now won her second doubles title in her three years as a Falcon. Senior Jade Johnson and freshman Drew Fillis advanced to the third flight doubles final, but lost to the Xavier duo of Alley Westling and Lizzie Oosterbaan, 8-6. In the sixth flight singles championship senior Katie Grubb lost both sets, 6-3, to IPFW’s Mila Shustova. The Falcons are idle for the next couple weeks until they travel to Toledo for the Rocket Invitational on October 12-13.

Home crowd helps Volleyball defeat Ohio By Max Householder Reporter

The BG volleyball team looks to have put their mistakes in the past as it opened up with two big victories in conference play. On Friday night the Falcons took down MAC East favorite Ohio in straight sets 25-23, 25-15, 25-20. In the beginning, it looked like it was going to be all Bobcats as they led 21-19 late into the first set. The Falcons used the crowd to build momentum and close out the set, which is something that they had trouble doing in recent games. Junior Paige Penrod was brilliant again as she posted

her sixth double-double of the year with 14 kills, 13 digs and just five attack errors. The Falcons defense also played well, as BG had one less block than league leading Ohio. The Bobcats had no player with more than eight kills and an attack percentage of .163. It was definitely the Falcons’ offense that stole the show as they out hit the Bobcats 51-29 with an attack percentage of .291. BG had two players with double-digit kills in Paige Penrod and Lindsay Butterfield and yet there were two others (Danielle Tonyan, Leah Shaw) with at least eight. Saturday night, after the convincing win against Ohio, the Falcons did not let

up at all on Kent State. BG, for the second straight night, won in three sets 25-15, 25-21, 25-17 as they only trailed once in the match at 3-2 in the second set. BG won its first match of the year when hitting below the .237 mark as they hit .190 for the match. Despite, not having as good of an offensive game, the Falcons defense was good as they had a team total of 10 blocks anchored by Leah Shaw’s career high seven blocks. This was a game which the Falcons controlled the entire time and whenever Kent would try to make a run, BG would regroup and come back with a vengeance. In fact, in

the third set BG got off to an early 9-1 lead and never let Kent get closer than five the rest of the game. Both Paige Penrod and Lindsay Butterfield had 11 kills, while Penrod was a dig shy of getting yet another double-double. It was her lone service ace that won the third set 25-17 and the match. “I am super pumped we won,” Paige Penrod said after the weekends matches. After sweeping their first two MAC opponents, BG is just one game under .500 with a record of 6-7. They will continue conference action next weekend as they are on the road to take on Akron Friday night and Buffalo on Saturday.

MICHAEL WIEST, BG goalkeeper kicks the ball back into play in the Falcons 2-0 loss

The Falcons took the pitch against the seventh ranked Akron on Saturday, but fell 2-0 to the Zips. This loss drops the Falcons’ record to 2-4-2 on the season and Akron improves to 5-1-2 in 2012. With the win, the Zips extend their MidAmerican Conference winning streak to 39 consecutive wins and 10 consecutive years without a loss to Bowling Green. Though the Zips were in control for most of the game, head coach Eric Nichols and the Falcons can take many positives from the game. “We played a really good team and we had our hands full,” Nichols said. “The first half we were really on our heels. They put a lot of pressure on our hands and we knew that was going to be the case. We knew we would bend at times and we tried not to break. The two goals we

gave up were in the five minutes that we broke.” The Zips scored their two goals in the 17th and 19th minutes, but the Falcons defense held the Akron offense for the rest of the game. Akron took 30 shots over the course of the game, including 16 in the second half, and Bowling Green took 10 shots. “There were a couple small tactical changes that helped us out a little bit.” Nichols said. “They had such a good rotation the first half that we had our time to get our guys close to theirs. Our guys were sharper during the second half and our defense was sharper too by breaking up balls and we kept it a little better as well.” The Falcons are going to take a lot of positive things from their match against Akron and bring them to field when they take on the University of W i scon si n-M i lw au kee on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Cochrane Field.

was already down 27-0. Johnson went 5-for-17 and 46 yards. “Our offense didn’t score and we lost the game,” Clawson said. “When you don’t score points and you don’t win the game, your quarterback didn’t play well enough to win.” Outside the quarterback position, the receivers struggled even more. They faced an excellent coverage team in Virginia Tech and couldn’t get free when covered oneon-one. Even when the young receivers were open they couldn’t come down with catches as the game yielded several dropped balls, yet many times when they were open, the quarterbacks couldn’t find them. Typically, this would lead to a more runapproach, however the success wasn’t coming there either. Anthon Samuel carried the bulk of the load for the Falcons but managed only 32 yards total. Freshman Andre Givens ran a pair of runs for 55 yards and took the honors for highest rusher of the game. “We didn’t play well,” Clawson said. “We couldn’t sustain anything on offense” Defen si vel y, t he Falcons were able to pick off the opposing quarterback, Logan Thomas, at least once despite the dominating performance he exerted. The Falcons closest chance to scoring any points came in the first

half when kicker Stephan Stein attempted a 41-yard field goal and hit it off the uprights. Surprisingly close considering all his struggles this season. It isn’t much of a shock that Virginia Tech was so dominate. Until this past week they were ranked 12th in the nation and Virginia Tech is always an ACC contender and is the school that currently holds the record for most ongoing 10-win seasons. Their head coach, Frank Beamer, is the winningest coach to still be actively coaching. Add all that with the fact that they had a vendetta to avenge after an embarrassing loss to Pittsburgh the week before, made Virginia Tech one potent potion. Despite the tough loss, the Falcons have escaped their hardest part of the season. With MAC play rapidly approaching, the Falcons can show how menta lly tough t hey are and what they have learned from play ing big name schools. By scheduling these tough games, the team doesn’t build false confidence like they would by playing small schools. Small schools would be a nice change of pace and it is just what the doctor ordered as Rhode Island will come to town for homecoming. The Rams are in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivison), or formerly known as division 1A A. Perhaps Bowling Green can do what Virginia Tech did following a bitter loss and dominate their opponent in front of a home crowd.

Rugby continues success with 74-0 win over Ball St. By Nicholas Vanderpool Reporter

VISIT US ONLINE AT

The BG rugby club continues its dominance against the Ball State Cardinals, winning Saturday’s match up 74-0. The weather was a factor this past weekend as the Falcons fought their way to a 3-0 regular season record. The game ended early due to thunderstorms. Falcons’ f lanker Frank Viancourt, eight man Bryan Kean and hooker Mike Brown all had excellent performances on Saturday. Each of them had three tries on the day, including Brown scoring his fifth try in the past two games. Despite w hat t he scoreboa rd sa id, BG’s Director of Rugby Roger Ma zzarella k nows what Ball State brings to the table. “I know Ball State has taken it on the chin the last three weeks, but they

have some good backs and some huge forwards,” Mazzarella said. “They just hit us on the wrong weekend.” One concern for the Falcons on Saturday was an injury to Corey Ruth. He was tripped up on a breakaway run and injured his leg on the play. “I’m not sure if it’s my hamstring or my IT band, but something popped,” Ruth said. The team is unsure of the seriousness of Ruth’s injury, but he has been a big part in their success this season. He was disappointed with his day ending early because of his leg, but he was pleased with the team’s play. “We were finding the holes and had some good offloads that lead to some serious plays,” Ruth said. BG has always been known for their backs. They wanted to go into the game trying to dominate

the forwards, and they did just that. The team wants to spread the field similar to a spread offense in football. When a team spreads wide across the field, it tends to open holes around the scrums and mauls. The Falcons have been successful running the maul, which is a play where a player has the ball and his teammates drive him down the field. “The maul is a dying art form in rugby,” Mazzarella said. “Teams usually don’t even practice defending against it anymore, which of course makes it all the more effective when employed as an offensive tactic.” BG will travel to a 2-1 Central Michigan team next Saturday, who is coming off a disappointing 40-33 loss against Ohio. The action is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
