Students utilize 3-D game as form of art, expression in University classrooms By David Skowronski Reporter
Students in the art department have been using video games as a new form of expression. Anthony Fontana, instructor in the School of Art, has been using the game Second Life as a way to teach students. Second Life is a 3-D world where people can socialize through avatars and create whatever they want. The students meet with teachers in the game over the summer with their avatars to attend online classes, go through art galleries of students’ art work and go on virtual field trips to places like the Sistine Chapel, Fontana said. All of this is done in a virtual campus that Fontana and Bonnie Mitchell, who also teaches in the School of Art, have run together since 2007, Fontana said. Now students are expanding the virtual world at the University to include Minecraft. “We began using other vir-
tual worlds, such as Minecraft two years ago,” Fontana said. Minecraft is a game where everything is made of square blocks and those blocks can be used to build 3-D constructions. Minecraft appeared in the art department for the first time at the art fair ArtXtravaganza, Fontana said. A contest was hosted where each contestant was given a number of blocks and had a certain amount of time to build whatever they wanted, he said. Senior Chris Bailey has helped host the Minecraft contest for the past two years. “Minecraft is a great tool for art because there are infinite possibilities of things to build,” GRAPHIC PROVIDED BY MICHAEL REASONER Bailey said. Students aren’t just doing STUDENTS in University art classes use Minecraft to create 3-D renderings. this in class, either; they are doing it at home, Fontana said.

College is when some smokers begin a lifelong habit, but those who attend the University may soon have to take that habit elsewhere. Five University groups are discussing and developing their points of view on the possibility of the campus being tobacco free. The idea of a tobacco use policy on campus came about through an Ohio Board of Regents resolution passed July 23 encouraging colleges and universities to become tobacco free. The Board of Regents, located in Columbus, serves as a coordinating body for Ohio higher education and is responsible for advising the Chancellor, leader of the University system of Ohio, on issues of statewide importance affecting higher education, according to its website. The five groups, including Administrative Staff Council, Classified Staff Council, Faculty Senate, Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate Student Senate, will hopefully submit their decision to President Mary Ellen Mazey by Thanksgiving, said Jill Carr, senior associate vice president of Student Affairs and dean of students. The decision to go tobacco free or to stay with the current policy may come down to culture. “I think you’re starting to see a different culture movement,” said USG President Alex Solis. Faith Yingling, director of Wellness, said Ohio culture has shifted to tobacco and smoking policies and that similar initiatives have been going on nationwide for a while now. “As more states and places implement smoking-related policies, it seems only natural that places like college and universities would take up those initiatives as well,” Yingling said.

Late Night delivery system proves to be interesting work Drivers share stories of after-hours food runs in town By Bridjet Mendyuk Reporter
Some delivery drivers in Bowling Green clock out each night with interesting stories to tell. Nighttime is usually the best time for an entertaining drive. Junior Tony Perfetto, a Cookie Jar employee, said he once delivered to a group of girls in Centennial Hall who were so happy with the cookies, they came to a party Perfetto hosted. Each driver said they have had a couple of deliveries that made their night on the job more entertaining. Luke Warner, a Campus Pollyeye’s employee, said he’s had numerous deliveries to parties where the customers would try to invite him in to drink with them even though he’s driving. “Some old cougar asked me for my number once,” Warner said. “I’ve had people tell me to come inside

and offer me beers and shots.” Dustin Schroeder, a Jimmy John’s employee, said this past week someone ran out of Nate and Wally’s downtown right in front of his Jimmy John’s delivery car. Edward Wonder, an Oasis employee, said he’s had a couple of interesting nights after the bars close around 2 a.m. “One time I was turning on Clough Street and these girls asked for a ride,” Wonder said. “They said they would flash me and when they did, I just drove away.” While the drivers have had interesting stories to tell, the delivery process isn’t always positive. Perfetto said the most hectic time to deliver cookies is during late night pickups and campus deliveries. “You have to call them to come

Faculty member put on administrative leave
The chair of the Architecture and Environmental Design Department was put on administrative leave on Oct. 16 after he was arrested for hitting a Toledo Police officer and failing to stop at the scene of an accident in September. Stan Guidera is being charged with allegedly failing to stop at the scene of the accident, felonious assault, causing serious injury and driving under the influence, according to a court docket via the Toledo Municipal Court’s website. Guidera is scheduled to appear in Toledo Municipal Court on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing, according to the docket. Guidera was released on a bond of $50,000 three days after the accident in late September, according to the docket. Guidera was notified of his paid leave by Faris Malhas, dean of the College of Technology at the University, according to a letter from Malhas. Guidera is asked to “stay away” from the University during his leave, unless otherwise notified by Malhas, according to the letter. Guidera was also asked to turn in the keys to his office and his University parking pass until further notice. Guidera’s leave is a preliminary measure in the decision-making process concerning his future employment at the University, according to the letter.
Issue 2 analyzed for Ohio voters
This week, The BG News is taking a closer look at some of the issues and candidates in this year’s elections. First, we will explore some of the issues, including Issue 2, in this paper. Keep picking up The BG News for ongoing election coverage. Tweet #Elections2012 @The_BG_News and let us know what you think about Issue 2 and everything else you’ll be voting on. Issue 2 is an initiative to change the process of redrawing voting district lines in Ohio. If approved, Issue 2 will form a 12-member commission to redraw voting district lines following every 10-year census. It would consist of four Republicans, four Democrats and four Independent, nonbipartisan members. Ohio Appellate judges would choose the members of the commission. “Now, the lines are drawn basically by a roll of the dice of who is in charge,” said Russell Mills, an assistant professor of politi-

cal science at the University. “This would help alleviate that. They’re trying to take partisanship out of it.” 1. How it is now: Currently, whichever political party is in office controls how the voting district lines are drawn after each census. 2. Yes: A “yes” vote would mean the voter supports the creation of the 12-member commission. Some organizations that support Issue 2 are League of Women Voters and Voters First. 3. No: A “no” vote would mean the voter supports the current methods of district drawing. Notable organizations against Issue 2 are Protect Your Vote and The Ohio Chamber of Commerce. 4. How it will be paid for: Tax dollars will fund the commission and its members. It will cost between $11 million and $15 million throughout the next eight years. 5. Will it pass?: Ballot issues regarding voting district lines tend to surface after each census. “Predominantly, they don’t succeed that much,” Mills said. “In America, we trust what was done before us.”

DELIVERY From Page 1 down and wait,” Perfetto said. “Dorms are the worst to go to.” Warner said the weekends, especially homecoming weekend, is when the roads are the busiest and delivering can become a problem for the restaurant’s three drivers. “There are some rare exceptions where the delivery is extra long,” Warner said. “During the weekend it can be busy.” Perfetto said he hasn’t received any complaints on delivery time but it is difficult to deliver at night when the addresses are hard to read.

“I haven’t gotten a complaint yet but who complains when you’re delivering cookies,” Perfetto said. Wonder said he likes to take the back streets of Bowling Green so the delivery is quicker. He agrees some days like homecoming weekend and St. Patrick’s Day are the busiest. “I just turn my music on pretty loud so I can’t hear the drunk people,” Wonder said. As for the money, some drivers said the tips vary among off campus customers and students who live in the dorms. “Most people at the dorms don’t tip,” Perfetto said. Josh Garcia, a Jimmy John’s employee, agreed and said the tips off campus are better. He doesn’t enjoy waiting for people to come down from upstairs on campus. He said it’s only hard to deliver when the roads are shut off and when the order is to the wrong dorm or address. “Campus doesn’t tip,” Warner said. “Especially freshman: they don’t tip well at all.” While the drivers enjoy the unpredictably of their jobs, being able to please the customers is the best part for some. “To get from point A to point B is my goal,” Perfetto said. “If the customers are happy, it makes us happy.”

VISITORS and volunteers dressed in period clothing keep warm inside the Fort Meigs museum before departing for the Garrison Ghost Walk.
Fort Meigs tour offers spooky stories, history By Emily Gordon Reporter
History lovers of all ages participated in a spooky tour of Fort Meigs in Perrysburg Friday night. Volunteers for the Garrison Ghost Walk dressed as soldiers and civilians from the War of 1812 and told visitors ghost stories by candlelight inside the fort’s blockhouses. Proceeds from the event benefitted the Old Northwest Military History Association, which serves to support educational programming at Fort Meigs through use of volunteers and purchased historical reproductions. According to the fort’s website, every summer during historical reenactments “strange lights and sounds, along with the appearance of soldiers long dead, have been reported by staff, volunteers and visiting participants. These phenomenal occurrences have never been accounted for or explained.” But for Martin Land, treasurer of Old Northwest Military History Association, the storytelling element of the Garrison
Ghost Walk is more exciting than the possible spirit sightings. “Oral history has been the main entertainment mode for human beings for thousands of years. This [event] is kind of going back to that,” Land said. While Land doesn’t believe in ghosts, he said “if any place deserves to be haunted, Fort Meigs certainly qualifies.” Land showed visitors the areas outside and inside the fort where soldiers are buried. Most of the graves were left intentionally unmarked so they could not be desecrated when the military moved out of the area after the war, he said. In all, five ghost stories, ranging from vengeful spirits of soldiers to cursed muskets, were told. Visitors Candice Kline, from Maumee, and her family friend Jessica James, from London, England said the ghost stories were fun, but the atmosphere was the most intriguing element of the event. “You could see the beauty of the construction of the fort,” James said. “You got a real feel for how it might have been like to be here with the low lighting
and the moonlight.” Rick Finch, director of Fort Meigs who served as a tour guide during the walk, said the clear, dark night is exactly what makes the Garrison Ghost Walk a great reason to visit the fort. “It’s a unique opportunity to see the fort at night. It’s a completely different experience than coming out during the day,” he said. Finch said the Garrison Ghost Walk also helps a lot of visitors have fun with history. “I like this program because it’s what I consider kind of an entry level event,” Finch said. “It gets people in who may not think that they like history, but they’ll come out to the ghost walk and have a fun time doing that and then we get them to return for other special events.” Finch said he believes the ghost stories are the most creative aspect of the walk for staff and volunteers. “They’re all made up, but there is a kernel of historical truth in every single one of them. I’m always impressed every year with the stories our staff and volunteers come up with.”
TOBACCO From Page 1 Twenty-two percent of students at the University use cigarettes, according to the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment data report in Fall 2010. “Certainly there’s more tobacco use than we’d like to see,” Yingling said. Departments at the University have also done surveys of the students. Eric Teske, staff assistant in the department of Recreation and Wellness, surveyed 691 graduate and undergraduate students in a variety of departments and majors. Forty-three percent believe campus should be smoke-free and 21.1 percent are frequently bothered by smoke at the University, according to the survey, which was done in April. Yingling and Teske plan to survey faculty and staff next. “We try to make sure we’re getting an accurate portrayal of what students want and what faculty and staff want,” Yingling said. The positives of a tobaccofree policy would include protecting the air people breathe, reducing secondhand smoke and improving people’s long term and short term health, Yingling said. Carr said the positives concerning health are obvious, but the way students feel about the possible policy may not be as simple.
For his student methodology project, freshman Michael Reasoner used Minecraft to recreate buildings from campus. “For the project, we had to come up with a question and my question was ‘What would life look like in Minecraft?’” Reasoner said. Video games should be considered art, he said.

This past semester a student recreated a level of Angry Birds in Minecraft, Fontana said. People make all sorts of crazy things in Minecraft, Reasoner said. “It takes time and talent to do that; you can’t just walk up to a pottery wheel and make something perfect,” Reasoner said.

“I think we’re all aware of the health related issue of a person who makes the decision to smoke,” Carr said. “The cons are that a smoker may feel that they’re losing some personal right on campus.” There is an emphasis on health and wellness at the University, Mazey said. “Having a no smoking policy really supports that health and wellness focus of our campus,” Mazey said. Yingling said if a policy were to go into place, the University would offer programs to help people quit. “We’d work hand in hand with the counseling center and the Student Health Service to make that happen,” she said. “Certainly we want to provide those resources for those who want to quit.” There are typically a fair amount of smokers who are already trying to quit, and since it’s a long process, Teske said he hopes the policy would be helpful.

“Hopefully it will be extra motivation for them with University support, hopefully they will and be able to get some kind of help,” he said. There is currently an alcohol and other drug specialist at the University with whom students can meet for free to discuss addiction, Teske said. Mazey said she hopes the decision to be tobacco free or to stay with the current policy will be made this academic year. USG recently had a meeting about the possibility of a tobacco-free campus, Solis said there were mixed opinions. “I think it’s going to be a tough process if the University chooses to go with this initiative,” Solis said. Once the constituent groups have submitted their decisions, depending on the decision, a committee will be formed to draft a policy, Carr said. Carr will chair the committee, which will include two members from each constituent group, she said.

of humans on both sides of this war. I am not angry at the US troops that fought in this war, but then, as now, I am angry and frustrated by the ignorance that pervades Washington D.C., to continue, yet again, to put US troops in harm’s way for absolutely nothing. The Vietnam War was fought to keep South Vietnam free from communism. Here, again, US troops were called upon to shoulder the over-whelming
danger of doing the fighting and dying. My memory is that the Vietnam troops may as well have not even existed. After years and years of bloody loss, communists took South Vietnam anyway. Again, what good was accomplished by so much loss by U.S. troops and their families? Now we have the asinine quagmire of Iraq and Afghanistan. The government
of Afghanistan, if you can call it that, has even asked the U.S. to leave. Why, in the name of humanity, can’t our government see how insulting these ungrateful warring people are to U.S. troops and our country? The “friendly” killing of U.S. troops answers this question.

Revive local music scene with originality STEPHAN REED FORUM EDITOR
Much like the early 90s grunge scene in Seattle, Washington, the current music scene has been destroyed by a few bands that made it big and the mainstream market. In 2006, Ohio was a Mecca for local music. Everywhere you turned, there were bands coming out with new singles and pushing their newest merchandise. Band stickers and flyers for local shows were plastered on any open space and, as a young musician myself, this was exhilarating. I mean, just walk into Howard’s Club H
and you can bear witness to years of music history. For many young bands, “making it” and getting signed were dreams that rested in the back of our minds, but what really mattered was practicing and playing live, in front of family, friends and complete strangers. I can tell you, firsthand, that there was nothing more exciting than looking out into the crowd and seeing people moshing and dancing to your heaviest breakdowns or the glow in the eyes of the females in the front row as they looked up during the clean choruses. I’m getting chills just by recalling it. Bands took whatever measures they could to record their songs. Whether it was through the
“Their music was nowhere near perfect. In fact, it was perfectly imperfect. ... Those miscuse are what make this so special to me.” use of pirated music software, a grassroots record producer (Sword f ish Studios in Findlay, Slaughterdog Records in Lima, etc.) or just a handme-down 8-track recording device, bands were adamant about publishing their own music. Bands would record anywhere and do just about anything to get their music into a reasonable sounding format and then onto their Myspace music player. Their music was nowhere near perfect. In fact, it was perfectly imperfect. Listening back, one can hear missed notes, off-
time bass drum hits and poor leveling. But those little miscues are what make this so special to me. It was more about the message and the experience than the money-hungry attitude that consumes today’s music industry. However, bands began cutting their hair, spending thousands of dollars on recording and acting like complete snobs. The Internet was always a mainstream outlet for pushing shows and your music, but it quickly

US, Israeli relations are Reclaim your words, important, bring equality to relevent today vocabulary CASSIE SULLIVAN COLUMNIST
One thing I did not know before I attended retired Ambassador Yoram Ettinger’s presentation was how closely bonded America is to Israel. That was one thing that never crossed my mind until this past Thursday night when the Ambassador explained the relations (and why they’re important) between the two countries. But what I did know about Israel is the conflicts between Israel and Pakistan since the creation of both countries in 1948. In the short time period

between now and 1948, wars have been fought, territories have been taken and the climate between the two countries is not a safe one, both waiting for a reason to attack each other. What about the U.S. and Israel and the relations between the two? How are those two countries tied together? The ties between Israel and the US have been strong since the birth of Israel in 1948 and have remained strong in the military, economic, technologic and interest fields, showing how the relations between the two countries are closely intertwined.

In “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” Albus Dumbledore says, “Fear of a name increases the fear of the thing itself.” Here, Dumbledore is speaking to the power of words and naming. Like all forms of power, the power of naming can be used constructively or detrimentally. Words allow us to understand and contextualize the world around us, but also have the potential to harm and oppress. I think there is no clearer example
of the damaging use of words than those terms used to subjugate minority communities. Take the commonly used phrase “that’s so gay” for instance. The point of the sentence is that something is stupid, obnoxious, a waste of time, etc. but the descriptor “gay,” implies that being gay is also stupid, obnoxious, a waste of time, etc. This alteration of definition of the term gay from same-sex attraction to a negative suggests being gay is also a negative. As someone who is gay, I face the degradation of a marker of my identity on

REED From Page 4 turned into a cesspool of shameless plugs and “You can only listen to this band if you ‘Like’ it first” messages. In this way, MySpace. com trumped Facebook. Myspace was a purveyor of music; the guy who would let you play at his church or record your EP for free. Facebook is just that slimy guy who collects the money at the door and cuts your playing time in half. After bands like The Devil Wears Prada, Before Their Eyes, Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember started gaining speed, other bands ditched their originality to sound like the bands that were making money. They started over-producing their records, tuning to ridiculously low tunings and mixing their bass guitars out of any song.
Now, we are living in 2012, a time where local shows are an endangered species. It’s more profitable to record an album and push it online than it is to go out and play the music that you wrote from your heart. The emotion has been sucked out of the local music scene. Even though the good ole days are gone, I can still be proud to say that I was out t here liv ing each day. I can still recall the feeling of walking onstage hundreds of miles away from home. I can still remember meeting hundreds of new people. I can still reminisce on a time where music was full of heart. As lame as it may sound, I can’t wait to look at the younger generations and tell them my stories: “Back in my day, music was real.”

SULLIVAN From Page 4 Ambassador Ettinger started off his presentation. After being introduced, Ambassador Ettinger began explaining the most significant tie between the US and Israel by using a quote from Senator Tom Harkin about leaders in the Bible and how simple relations tied Americans to Israelis, along with the presence of biblical leaders throughout America’s capitol. Ambassador Ettinger also spoke about the points of tension throughout the world and how that does not apply to the relationship between the two countries
SHUPE From Page 4 nearly a daily basis. I hear the associations between whom I love and how I feel likened to ineptitude, inferiority and insignificance. Frankly, I’m tired of it. So, here lies the question: what can we do? The answer is simple: we reclaim our words. Thinking back to an episode of The View, the hosts were discussing the use of the racial pejorative colloquially referred to as the n-word. Elisabeth Hasselbeck was arguing that the word should never be used as it harkened back to a time of racial injustice and inequality to which her co-host, W hoopi Goldberg, responded that she had the right to use it and that she could even use it “affectionately.” G oldberg’s a sser t ion that she, as a person of color, has t he rig ht to use and adapt the definit ion of a ter m t hat

that started with the Zionist movement in the early 20th century (Zionism being a form of nationalism of the Jewish culture that supports a nation state of Jewish origin in Israel). By being mutually interested in the same ventures, American companies, such as Intel and Microsoft, have established research centers in Israel. Along with the technology that is now in Israel, American military airplanes are being made by Israelis while Americans test the planes, along with other military weaponry. Along with technology development in different ways, Israel and the US support each other by being close
allies in the Middle East. When it’s impossible for the US to interact with conflicts in the Middle East, Israel does the work themselves with the support of the US behind them. Israel helps the US out by giving them intelligence information. When the Arab Spring happened, the US found their strategic hand growing shorter and shorter while the powers in China and Russia grew in the Middle East. No longer can the US rely on Egypt as an ally with the growing anti-Americanism throughout the Middle East that could prevent the strategic hand becoming even shorter. The only country that is willing to work with the US
now is Israel, and their bond isn’t just support when it comes to defense and war, but also non-military issues, such as economics and technology. In a time of great need, the US knows that at least one country has its back, especially in a hot zone like the Middle East. Not once before had I considered a possible ally to the US in the Middle East after watching the first round of the Arab Spring, and then the newest round of protests, terrorist attacks and the growing anti-Americanism that is happening.
once was used as a tool of oppression. We live in a system that seeks to maintain inequalit y and sweeps the fact that discrimination has occurred under the rug, and when terminology that belongs in the mouths of bigots is cast in a positive light, people are made to feel uncomfortable. This d iscom for t inv ites the chance for an understa nding of one’s ow n pa r t i n t he perpetuation of oppression wh ich ca n u lt i mately lead to ending it. I think the most successful campaign in the redefinition of hateful terminology has been the alteration of the definition of queer. Once conceived as a derogator y expression toward effeminate gay men engaging in sexually ‘deviant’ behavior, the term was reappropriated in the early 1990s by the LGBT community as an umbrella term encompassing all individuals who fall outside of the het-
eronormative culture. The readoption of “queer” has allowed a marginalized community to move beyond a time when they were condemned and mark themselves as outside the dominant culture that denounced them. Though the accomplishments, with the redefinition of expressions such as “queer”, is a huge stride in altering how marginalized groups are viewed, these terms, when used by one outside of their reach of power, can still harm. For example, in occupying the racial category of white, I have never experienced the effect of being discriminated against for my race; I also, as a cisgender male, have never faced repercussions for my gender identity or expression as members of the trans-community have. Because I am unaware of the effect certain pejoratives against these communities have on one’s self, I consciously choose not to use them. Though I don’t use these words, some still do
and because they are used by “outsiders” who lack an intimate understanding of the power behind the word, oftentimes they continue to express prejudiced notions. In my opinion, only those who understand on a personal level the effects of an oppressive word as a negative have the right to use it. William Shakespeare wrote, “W hat’s in a name?” and the answer is power. The use of language allows us to understand the world in which we live, but the misuse of words can be incredibly harmful. Depreciatory terms can be wielded as weapons to suppress and reduce a person’s sense of being. If you don’t know how a word feels when used against you, then you should not use it. The abuse of power in all forms is dangerous, so think before you speak.

Oct. 27 2012
“...Then I saw the ball on the ground and went ‘oh my gosh.’ I ran to go get it and made sure I picked it up. It was just locked to my chest and I wasn’t going to let it go. Then I just had to run as fast and hard as I could to the endzone.” Chris Jones | Defensive Tackle
Strong defensive game gives Jones first career touchdown, first place nationally in sacks By Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor
For the first time since 2009, the Falcons are bowl eligible, and for the first time since 2004, the team has won five games in a row. The Falcons defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles 24-3 in a defensive masterpiece. The team has only allowed three touchdowns in the past five games and zero in the past two. In all six of the Falcons’ victories, the team hasn’t allowed more than 13 points per game. Saturday was no different. A designed blitz play was called as linebacker Gabe Martin came around the outside of the line to sack the quarterback. Martin forced the ball out of his hands just before he hit the ground, crediting him with the sack and forced fumble. Tackle Chris Jones then picked it up and ran for the touchdown, the first of his career. “I was excited for all of it,” Martin said. “Excited just to be out there, making plays with my teammates making plays and when everyone does their job, good things happen and we saw that in that play.” Martin finished the game with an interception, a forced fumble, 2.5 sacks and seven tackles. “That whole play, I can just see it. We had a movement and a blitz, I went outside and the tackle didn’t block me.” Jones said. “I went to go get the quarterback and I missed, but I saw Gabe [Martin] hit him and thought ‘Yeah, go Gabe.’ Then I saw the ball on the ground and went ‘Oh my gosh.’ I ran to go get it and made sure I picked it up. It was just locked to my chest and I wasn’t going to let it go. Then I just had to run as fast and hard as
I could to the endzone.” Jones also had 2.5 sacks, that fumble recovery for a touchdown and three tackles. The sacks move Jones into first place in the nation in the category with 11.5. Jones sits in second place in school history for his career with 27; first place has 31. “I’m going to brag on us for a little bit,” Jones said. “I don’t know if there is a defensive line in the country playing better than we are right now. We are just reeking havoc on all the O-lines we are playing and the quarterbacks having a hard time standing in the pocket while scrambling everywhere.” Eastern Michigan’s quarterback Tyler Benz never looked comfortable. Benz had 114 yards passing while averaging 4.8 yards a pass. Benz also fumbled the ball and threw an interception. A muffed punt resulted in the third turnover of the game as Jude Adjei-Barimah recovered it for the Falcons. “If you just look at us, watch us in practice, we don’t do anything else but work,” Jones said. “That’s our motto and it shows on Saturdays.” Bowling Green is now nationally ranked 11th in points against: a testament to the work of the defense. The offense that has struggled for consistency is ranked 95th in points for. “Offensively, it wasn’t pretty, but we did what we needed to do,” said Head Coach Dave Clawson. “ We out-scored the other team. We had a great play in the double pass and a nice run by [Andre] Givens.” The double pass was designed to look like a screen play from quarterback Matt Schilz to running back Jordan Hopgood. Hopgood then exercised his option to throw the ball into the wind to a wide open Shaun Joplin. Joplin completed the 53 yard play untouched as he jogged into the end zone. The play
was the fifth play of the game and set a tone for the remainder of the game. With running back Anthon Samuel out for the game still nursing an injury suffered from the Massachusetts game, it was running back John Pettigrew with the start. Pettigrew lead a running corps of Andre Givens and Jordan Hopgood with 136 yards and a long of 29. Hopgood would add 61 yards with a long of 23 yards, while Givens would add a 27 yard touchdown. Overshadowed by a potentially devastating injury, the running game carried the majority of the offense especially late in the game as the team ran out the clock. Givens went down in the third quarter and, after being attended to for over 10 minutes, was put on a stretcher and driven off the field in an ambulance. Updates came through the game that it was a precautionary decision and that Givens was able to move his arms and was conscious the entire time. Schilz finished the game with 78 yards passing while, up until the second half, was trailing Hopgood’s 53 yards. Hopgood got the only passing touchdown of the game. Coming into the game tied for 119th in the nation in field goal percentage, the special teams added three points to score. Kicker Stephan Stein missed a 38 yard attempt with the wind, while kicker Tyler Tate made a 28 yard field goal against the wind. The win moves BG into a second place tie in the MAC East as No. 24 Ohio lost to Miami. The Falcons trail Kent State who remains unbeaten in conference and who defeated No. 15 Rutgers Saturday. BG is now one of six teams in the MAC to be bowl eligible, and will travel to Ohio in nine days to play the Bobcats. After that the Falcons will host Kent State on Nov. 17.

Hockey splits with Buckeyes By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
It was once again a tale of two completely different games for the BG hockey team this past weekend against Ohio State. The team came out flat Friday in a 1-0 loss to the Buckeyes, only to respond Saturday night with a dramatic, come-from-behind 4-3 shootout victory. The home crowd was given its first glimpse of what life without Andrew Hammond in net would be like. The senior goaltender missed both games as he continues rehab for his injured elbow. Freshman Tommy Burke started both games at goalie and performed admirably, particularly
in Friday’s loss. However, things nearly got out to a catastrophic start. Ohio State won the opening faceoff, with Ryan Dzingel immediately taking the puck forward, splitting an evidently stunned defensive pairing of Bobby Shea and Connor Kucera. He skated in on Burke and shot the puck between Burke’s blocker arm and body. The referee lost sight of the puck and blew the whistle, just as the puck was trickling into the net. As the Buckeyes celebrated, he emphatically waved the goal off. “It’s pretty simple: that was a goal,” said Ohio State Coach Mark Osiecki. “[The referee] apologized about it. We were asking about it after the first period, but I know the rule. He lost sight of the puck. We all make mis-
takes; it is what it is.” BG Coach Chris Bergeron agreed that the Falcons caught a break on the call, but more-so focused on the sequence that led up to it, saying that Shea and Kucera were “not paying attention.” “To be honest … I was in shock of what was going on,” Burke said. “It was a smart play by them.” Faceoffs were once again the kryptonite for BG in this game. While BG held a 29-28 edge in the circle, the Falcons allow their only goal of the game immediately off a faceoff. Just over eight minutes into the first period, the teams lined up for a draw in the BG zone to Burke’s right. There

The Falcons finished up their two final road games with 2-0 wins against Michigan and MidAmerican Conference opponents Florida Atlantic. BG traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich. on Tuesday and defeated the Wolverines 2-0. The win marks the second straight year that the Falcons have defeated Michigan. The match was tied at halftime with a low number of shots from each team (BG-5, UM-6). However, after halftime, both teams went full throttle on offense. Michigan had a total of 22 shots during the match and BG had 10. The Falcons’ first goal came from junior Anthony Grant right after the start of the second half in the 46th minute. The goal was scored by sophomore Danny Baraldi and junior Zach Schewee. The second goal was scored only three minutes later by freshman Ryan James and assisted by Baraldi and junior Ryan Snashall. Junior goalkeeper recorded five saves against the Wolverines and helped the Falcons boost their record to 6-7-3 on the season. After Tuesday’s win, the Falcons traveled to Boca Raton, Fla. to take on MAC foe Florida Atlantic. The game was originally sched-
uled for Friday night, but was moved to Saturday morning due to Hurricane Sandy. After the intensity of the hurricane died down when it reached Florida, the game was rescheduled again on Friday night. The Falcons were not affected by the extremely windy weather and defeated the Florida Atlantic Owls 2-0. The Falcons’ first goal was scored by Grant in the 12th minute and assisted by Baraldi. With this goal, Grant now has eight goals on the season and is currently the team leader in the same category. BG’s second goal came from Baraldi in the 24th minute and was assisted by Grant. Head Coach Eric Nichols was pleased with his team’s performance despite the extreme conditions. “There were significant, sustained winds blowing toward one goal for the entire 90 minutes.” Nichols said. “We had the wind with us in the first half, they had it in the second half and it definitely affected the game. Neither team had a shot on goal against the wind tonight.” The Falcons return home this week for their last two matches of the regular season. The first match is against Wright State and is slated for a 7 p.m. start on Tuesday. BG will then host MAC opponent West Virginia on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the regular season finale.

Rugby team remains undefeated By Nicholas Vanderpool Reporter
The Falcon rugby team remains undefeated after beating Cincinnati and Ohio over the weekend. BG defeated Cincinnati on Saturday with a score of 52-0. The game wasn’t as easy as the outcome portrayed. The Bearcats expected the Falcons to play smash-mouth rugby. BG had to adjust and play a finesse style instead. “UC was very tough in the rucks and in the tackles, so swinging the ball out wide was very effective,� said lock Alex Garnaut.
“Our passing and offloads were very helpful.� Wing Nolan Cavano and eight man Bryan Kean each had a try. Wing Ryan Koenig had two tries with prop Dane Szente converting on three conversions to make the score 26-0 at halftime. In the second half, center Dominic Mauer had three tries of his own and lock Mike Treon also got on the board with a solo try. After the win on Saturday, the Falcons had to return home to host the Ohio Bobcats the next day. The weather was thought to be a big factor going into the
day, but BG came away with a 58-7 win despite the wind and freezing temperatures. The win gives the Falcons their 31st Mid-American Conference championship in a row regardless of the outcome in the team’s final game next weekend. It didn’t take long for BG to make a mark on the scoreboard. Cavano scored a try in less than two minutes from the opening whistle. The Bobcats seemed shell shocked by the ferocity and aggressiveness of the Falcons attack as they steadily gave up tries despite having the wind advantage.
BG controlled the game offensively and used the clock efficiently. It would be a full 30 minutes into the first half before Ohio would run their first offensive series. Treon had his best day of his Falcon career, as he scored three tries in the first half. Kean, Koenig and Mauer joined Treon in the endzone in the first half. The Bobcats managed to score a try and conversion in the second half, but it was the Falcons the rest of the way. BG is now 7-0 in league play and will travel to Miami on Saturday to finish the season.

Volleyball struggles, finds second conference loss against Ohio By Max Householder Reporter
The struggles for the BG volleyball team finally caught up to it against Ohio as they were swept by the Bobcats in three sets. After putting up an impressive defensive showing against Kent State on Friday, the Falcons struggled to contain a strong offensive team in Ohio. In the game, BG allowed the
Bobcats led by Kelly Lamberti and her 11 kills to hit .254 for the match, which was the most it had given up to an opponent in MAC play. “We knew what was on the line coming into this match and that Ohio would be a tough team to beat,� BGSU Head Coach Danijela Tomic said. “We needed all of our players to play up to their potential in order to win. Obviously, that
didn’t happen and the better team won tonight.� BG has played some close matches recently and is almost lucky to still be 10-2 in conference. In fact, five of their last eight have gone to five sets including their game on Friday night where they got by Kent State. “We are playing to just get by right now,� Outside hitter Paige Penrod said. “If we can
“We will learn from this loss and bounce back.� Danijela Tomic | Head Coach get back to the determination we had earlier in the season, we can show people we deserve to be where we are.� Penrod struggled in the
game as despite her 10 kills she only had a .068 attack percentage and seven attack errors. Leading the way for the Falcons on offense was right side hitter Danielle Tonyan, who led the team with 13 kills and a .343 attack percentage. Although the defense struggled as a whole, they did have seven blocks compared to just four from Ohio. “We will get back in the
gym on Monday and continue working on things that we need to improve,� Tomic said. “We still have four more matches to play and then the MAC Tournament. We will learn from this loss and bounce back.� BG will finish up its home schedule this upcoming weekend when they play Buffalo on Friday and then close out with Akron on Saturday.

HOCKEY From Page 6 was a scrum for the puck right after it was dropped, when it squirted out to Dzingle, who buried the shot off the right post and in. The best scoring chance the Falcons had came late in the third, when Dajon Mingo took a pass from behind the net and pumped the shot off the post. BG had 25 shots in the game, but were unable to beat Ohio State goalie Brady Hjelle. Burke stopped 27 of the 28 shots he faced. Despite looking shaky early, he settled in and kept BG in the game. “I thought I played maybe not as good as it looked,” he said. “There are some areas I want to touch up on. That goal, I don’t want to ever give up that [kind of] goal; you don’t want pucks to go through you. All in all, their goalie played better than I did tonight.” Saturday’s game was much more dramatic, with BG going to its first shootout of the season. Dan DeSalvo played the role of hero, with a quick wrist shot in the fourth round. It was the only goal scored in the shootout. In an almost carbon copy of the previous night, BG scored a goal in the first minute, only to have it waved off, as it was ruled the puck was kicked in. BG got on the board three minutes later. Adam Berkle came down the right wing boards on a three-on-two and dished a beautiful pass to Rusty Hafner. He threw a backhand shot and beat Ohio State goalie Collin Olson. Bergeron said the increased intensity in the first period was a result of the team selfmotivating. “I talked to some guys individually, but this isn’t a coaching thing, it’s about those 20 guys deciding,” he said. “I challenged our leadership a bit and told them to take this thing over and make it yours, and

don’t accept where we are.” BG increased the lead to 2-0 early in the second period, with Mark Cooper scoring his third goal of the season. Ohio State scored three goals in a span of 3:13 in the second period to take the lead. BG was able to stop the bleeding, in large part to Burke making a few big saves, to keep the deficit at one. “We didn’t want to get down [on ourselves],” DeSalvo said. “There are times this season that we’ve gotten down. We were fighting that urge, everyone was staying positive.” BG kept throwing shots at Olson, putting a season-high 39 shots on the freshman goalie. BG finally broke through midway through the third. Brett Mohler took the puck off a defensive zone faceoff and skated up the right wing boards. Upon entry into the Ohio State zone, he threw a wrist shot high blocker side that zipped past Olson and found the top corner of the net. “One of the things we’ve been able to show in the past little bit is some resiliency,” Bergeron said. “We didn’t show finish or that killer instinct to go from 2-0 to 3-0, but we were resilient in the third. I want the guys to feel good about the result, but we have a lot of work to do.” Burke stopped 21 of 24 shots, but he once again kept BG in the game. “Really proud of Tommy,” Bergeron said. “I thought he was solid. The one two-on-one goal, I think he’d like to have that one back. But the other two he had no chance on and then he shut them down in the shootout. Not only did he create some confidence for himself, but I think the team is confident in him.” BG will face Michigan State in a series this weekend. Friday’s game will be in East Lansing, with Saturday’s being played in BG.
