Learning Commons hosts ‘Study On Sunday’ event to help students prepare for exams By Eric Lagatta Reporter
W
ith finals starting today, Sunday students could do more than study at the University Library — they also relieved some pre-exam stress. The Learning Commons and the Jerome Library hosted an event called Study On Sunday that, in addition to a study and tutor space, provided students with popcorn, pizza, coffee, cookies and even therapy dogs throughout the day. The purpose of the event, which ran from noon to 10 p.m., was not only to provide students with extended studying hours, but also to help them relieve the stress that comes with studying, said Mark Nelson, the director of the Learning Commons. Two dogs even made an appearance at 3 p.m. for students to interact with. “They’re just kind of big lovable dogs
FACULTY BRIEF
Faculty members protest at Board of Trustees meeting
The faculty association hosted a different kind of festival at 12:30 p.m. Friday. The carnival featured morale speakers and information about the contract between the association and the University. An audience of more than 60 members learned about the contract’s progress from the point of view of the association. At the Board of Trustees meeting following the festival, members of the association chose to hold up support signs, Association President David Jackson said. “We don’t have to agree with him,” Jackson said. “We must behave that way this time only.” At the meeting, President Mary Ellen Mazey said she is pleased with how the negotiations have gone. “If you look at the timing, we are probably well within the
that help calm people down,” Nelson said. “Our thought bringing them in here was, ‘It would be a good distraction for students to come pet them.’” Another one of the events, called “Ride the Falcon,” allowed students to photoshop a picture of themselves into a picture of the falcon at the Stroh Center, appearing as if they were riding it. All the food and drinks were free for the students and Vito’s Pizza even donated 20 pizzas to the event. Nelson said the staff has also met the challenge of longer hours. “They’ve really embraced it as well,” he said. John Maddrey, a graduate assistant who tutors students in math at the Learning Commons, said he sees many first time students come at the end of the semester for some extra help. “So far today, what we’ve experienced is
time from of what it takes other universities,” Mazey said. Junior Cat Tomanski has been supporting the association since it unionized and agreed with its demonstration at the board meeting. “It’s a good idea the faculty association took his advice,” Tomanski said. “Being there with the signs was enough of a protest.” The association will be turning in its first set of four factfinding briefs the week of Dec. 17 to a mediator after entering into arbitration, or fact-finding, with the administration on Nov. 15, said Candace Archer, lead faculty negotiator. The mediator, Rob Stein, will then read briefs from both the administration and the faculty before a hearing where both sides will report, Archer said. On the administration side, Stein is also working with Pat Pauken, lead negotiator for the University. “We’re developing a really good relationship with him,” Pauken said. “He plays a really good role and has a good relationship between both parties.” Having Stein there is positive for both sides, Pauken said. “I feel better about it,” Pauken said. “I’m happy where things are and we are moving along.”

students who need help correcting a quiz or help correcting a test,” Maddrey said. “People normally expect us to be extra help.” The Learning Commons is an ideal place for studying because of its proximity to any resource a student might need, such as a textbook, computer or just a guiding hand, Maddrey said. “So many people just don’t even know where to start,” he said. “Having these kind of events really gets you on the right track to studying.” Joshua Vossler, coordinator of Library Instruction, emphasized the important role the library plays in facilitating students’ studying efforts. “Especially for first year students who can feel isolated while away from home ... it’s good to do what we can to foster a sense of community,” he said, “to remind people that there’s some light in the world.”
The police union and the University finalized contract negotiations Friday at the University’s Board of Trustees meeting. The board went into executive session and came back only a few minutes later with the announcement. The two parties negotiated using interest-based bargaining, which means they discussed each party’s interests instead of their positions, said Rebecca Ferguson, chief human resources officer. “The parties mutually work Monica together to achieve what is necesMoll sary,” Ferguson said. “I am really Director of really proud of these police offiPublic Safety cers and this chief of police that got this done.” This is the second time the two parties have used interest-based bargaining; they also used it a year ago to negotiate a short-term contract, said Monica Moll, director of Public Safety. “With interest-based bargaining, it takes a lot longer,” Moll said. “It’s the opposite of positionbased bargaining.” The bargaining started out by each side making a list of issues, many of which were the same, Moll said. The parties then ranked the issues and tackled the easiest first, in order to build momentum, Moll said. Each party then stated why it was interested in the issue and discussed the options for fixing the problems. The sides ultimately ended up with the same goals, Moll said. The contract was negotiated for the period of July 1, 2012 to July 30, 2015. The union’s previous contract had expired before this one was completed, Moll said. The union will get a raise, but it’s not an across the board raise, Moll said. “[We’re] trying to bring officers up to the same rate,” she said. Dispatchers will be on a three year pay plan and officers will be on a five year pay plan, Moll said. “[The pay] is tied to training and competency,” Moll said. “[They] must achieve benchmarks to get the next pay increase.” For officers, there will be a seven percent average pay increase, Moll said. Detective Sean Beavers was present when the board made the decision and he said he’s absolutely happy with it. Beavers is also the vice president of the union and was on the bargaining team. In addition to the pay increase, the negotiations also helped the union to establish a more efficient

President Mazey to receive raise, bonus The board also approved a salary raise and bonus for University President Mary Ellen Mazey at its meeting. William Primrose, chair of the board, announced the raise after the board came out of its executive session Friday afternoon. “The board is 1,000 percent behind Mary Ellen and we think she’s just doing a great job,” Primrose said. The board increased Mazey’s base pay by two percent and gave her a $50,000 bonus, which Mazey said she will give to student scholarships. Previously, Mazey’s salary was $375,100, according to a University document featuring gross earnings for the fiscal year 2011-12. With the raise, which was effective immediately, Mazey’s salary is now $382,602. “At this time, we’re all about student success,” Mazey said. The raise isn’t anymore than the board has given other constituent groups, Primrose said. “We really feel this is fair and equitable to all parties,” he said. Other staff members and faculty administrators also got raises, which were approved July 1 and took affect in September, Mazey said. The board is supposed to review Mazey yearly, but this

The University plans to start accepting students in the program during fall 2013, according to the press release. “It will establish BG’s innovative leadership,” said Rodney Rogers, provost and senior vice president of Academic Affairs.
Offenhauer elevators to be renovated The board approved a resolution for the University to go forward with plans to renovate the elevators in Offenhauer Residence Hall.

I have come to the realization that our common conversations have become incredibly superficial and lack depth and substance. While watching the film “God Bless America,” the protagonist, Frank, goes on a tirade about this subject. “Nobody talks about anything anymore. When was the last time you had a real conversation without someone texting or looking at a screen or a monitor over your head?” Why do we shy away from talking about our feelings, aspirations, religious convictions and things that aren’t entertainment or sports? I’m not saying there is anything wrong with popular culturebased talks or sport chats, but try and think critically about what you have seen and speak original thoughts. Don’t just spew what you read online or heard on TV. Some of my closest friendships were spawned
from spontaneous, personal conversations. One doesn’t have to pour their soul out to a stranger, but opening up shouldn’t strike fear into the heart. Everyone has a history. Every individual has a unique story. Each person you come across probably possesses the memory of an experience that you would find intriguing. There aren’t many things better than those long, allnight conversations with someone. The ones in which you can feel the friendship forming into a long-lasting bond. The ones where you think, “I should probably go to sleep,” but your friend has you so encompassed and on the edge of your seat, you throw the ideas of morning exhaustion out the window and listen onward. You’re completely engaged; your phone doesn’t matter. When you listen, it feels great for both parties. You retain the knowledge about this person and feel a deeper connection with them, while they feel special and unique because they have someone who will actively listen
to them without texting mid conversation. We live in a society where all of our thoughts and ideas are posted on social media, yet we can’t talk to people. Social media seems to be taking the “social” aspects out of our daily lives. Instead of posting about how angry you are at your professor or subtweeting about your friend, try talking to them about it. Hell, they may even commend you for taking the initiative to attack the issue head on. Instead of posting a Facebook status containing lyrics that you relate to, bring the song up in conversation with the person who inspired the thoughtful connection. The song will never sound the same again. Feelings, dreams, personal history: These are the things we should be talking about, not Miley Cyrus’ new haircut or what your ex said about you on Twitter. Superficial chatter is a plague. It keeps us from talking about stuff that truly matters. These issues get overshadowed by “pop-politics.” There’s always the typical conversations about abor-
tion, the death penalty and gun control, but why don’t we talk about the conflict between the University’s Faculty Association and the Administration or the campus smoking ban that is being discussed? It is doubtful that we can control the hot topic issues of the nation, but we can have a say in the problems that are in our own backyard. I strongly urge everyone out there to strike up a real conversation with that one person who catches your eye in the Union or the girl who sits by you in class with the sweet Attack Attack! bookbag or the professor who makes you feel like a human being and not just another kid in class. It’s the last week of classes. Take a chance. What’s the worst that can happen? They could look at you weird and you will never have to see them again. What’s the best that can happen? You could have a new friend for life.

Pursue education outside classroom CHANCE STOODT COLUMNIST
Welcome to exam week, the hopeless period of nonexistent student productivity. Unfortunately, it’s also the week when productivity is most imperative. At this point in the semester, I typically find it difficult to stay focused on my academic work, let alone make time for other hobbies. Despite this, I always make it a point to maintain a certain level of independent education throughout the year. In fact, I believe that education outside of the classroom is just as important and should be pursued more extensively than simply inside the classroom. This semester has been one of the most intellectually rewarding for many reasons, specifically because of challenging classes and encouraging professors. What I’ve come to believe, though, is that my education has extended far beyond the classroom. Now that I’m taking

classes more in line with my major a nd, subsequent ly, my interests, I’ve not iced severa l instances where something the instructor said sparked my interest and prompted me to look into it later. Education shouldn’t be limited to w it hin t he wa lls of a classroom; I believe one can learn exponentially more independently. Many of the things we learn in college are exclusively theoretical; depending on the field of study or specific class, you may seldom learn about the application of the education in your day-to-day life. Applying your education provides a unique edge of experience that can only be obtained outside of the classroom. For example, I often apply things I learn in my political science and philosophy courses to modern issues throughout the world. The education also assists me in understanding those complex issues or even to speculate about a solution. Any field of study can be viewed this way. It’s often easy to lose sight of the importance
“College isn’t just another stage in life and, like most things, you only get what you put into it. Our education should be intellectually challenging and rewarding.”
of our education. Many tend to perceive college as merely another roadblock or obstacle to overcome in life, but it doesn’t have to be. Universities exist to prepare us for the next stages of life, including a career; however, education is also valuable in itself. I’ve noticed that many st udent s, i nclud i ng myself, study only for the test. What I mean to say is that we learn what we need to learn to do well on a test and we tend to forget everything we’ve been taught the moment we step out of that classroom. College isn’t just another stage in life and, like most things, you only get what you put into it. Our education should be intellectually challenging and rewarding. It should prompt us to think more critically about everything in our lives. It should empower us to overcome greater problems. Every day of class should break down
all of your values, beliefs and opinions. Many students take their education for granted; those individuals forget the fact that many around the world lack the resources and infrastructure of a nurturing environment required for the higher level instruction we enjoy. To be educated is a privilege. Because of that, it also provides us with a responsibility to use it. Many let it go to waste, however. Instead, it’s approached with a mentality of, “I’ll do what I need to get my diploma and then get on with life.” If that’s your philosophy, a diploma is little more than an expensive proof-of-purchase sticker. Universities have so much more to offer and I implore you to take advantage.

With a bowl game looming, Chris Jones has been a defensive master for BG Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor
Christopher Jones is an athlete. He started his high school football team all four years, earning all-state honors. Jones also lettered in track, where he qualified for states in shot put. Jones was a linebacker and a fullback, playing both sides of the ball. His senior year, he recorded seven sacks and 10 tackles for a loss, a preview for things to come. Football had always been his true calling; looking at him, you could compare him to a Mack semi-truck. With a smile and personality that made him a gentle-giant, he would be anything but on the field. Jones, now 6 foot 1 inch and 293 pounds, has been wreaking havoc on offensive lines since his freshman year. A true freshman, Jones played in all 13 games — earning 29 tackles, including five in the Humanitarian Bowl against Idaho. Jones would add six sacks his sophomore season and 8.5 his junior during seasons of hardship. After the bowl loss in 2009, the Falcons went through seasons of 2-10 and 5-7 as the team rebuilt. He would go to start every game. The 2012 season was where Jones really broke through. The team voted him a captain and he returned the favor on the field. “We have a captain’s meeting every Monday for breakfast,” Head Coach Dave Clawson said. “We would discuss things like the things the players saw and wanted to change and the uniform combinations.” The team wouldn’t always agree with what they had to say, Clawson said. The captains knew best and it seemed Jones especially so — he just has that demeanor on the field. Jones would again play in all the games the Falcons had, including at the time nationally ranked 23 Florida. Florida, known for being a college football powerhouse, has pipelined talent all across the NFL. The Gators are always a top favorite to win the South Eastern Conference (SEC), which has been argued as the top Division I conference. Many began to wonder why Florida was even playing the Mid-American Conference competition from Bowling Green, Ohio. The Gators were home and heavily favorite, but that didn’t stop the Falcon defense from imposing their will upon them. The defense, led by Jones, was about to start molding into one of the top defenses in the nation on national television. Jones would have just one tackle for loss in the game, not an overly impressive effort. However, the Gators didn’t win easily. The score was 27-14, and it was closer than the score line indicates. The offense of BG failed to take advantage of turnovers and field goals leaving many points off of the board, but that’s not the point. The point is the defense worried Florida for three quarters, so much so commentators would still reference the game 10 weeks later. Florida was predicted to have an off-year as they barely escaped a MAC school; however, Florida would go on to finish 11-1 as the fourth ranked team in the nation. Few thought to credit

A bye week served the BG hockey team well. Playing for the first time since a 3-1 loss to Michigan on Nov. 21, the Falcons registered a four-point Central Collegiate Hockey Association Weekend against A laska. The Falcons won Friday night 3-2 and battled back with two third-period goals to force a 3-3 tie — coupled with a shootout loss — Saturday night.

Friday night, he stopped 39 of 41 shots, including 21 in the third period. Saturday night, he stopped 41 of 44 shots. “Sometimes, it’s good to see a lot of pucks so you aren’t waiting around for a high quality scoring chance,” Hammond said. “For the most part [the high number of shots] almost benefited me.”
Friday night’s game was the 100th game of Hammond’s BG career. He is the seventh goalie in BG history to reach the century mark. “To be honest, I didn’t realize that it was 100,” he said. “I don’t know if I really believe that it was meant to be a good game or not,

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU
Defense, Rogers get on board early, dominate Big Ten contender 60-37, move to 6-3
By Max Householder Reporter
The BG women’s basketba ll team proved they could hang with the big boys as they dow ned Nort hwestern of the Big Ten. BG beat Northwestern 60-37 on 37 percent shooting as a team. The Falcons found success Sunday while being sparked by a huge offensive performance from Alexis Rogers and
FOOTBALL From Page 5 the Falcons for the result and instead blamed the Gators. Week two saw Idaho, a team Jones had played the year before, though more prominently in the 2009 bowl game. Jones would earn himself 1.5 sacks in the game with 2.5 tackles for a loss as the Falcons routed the Vandals 21-13. People were beginning to notice more and more of Jones as week four approached. This week the Falcons traveled to Virginia Tech, who had just lost their national ranking the week before and were looking for blood. The Hokies shutout the Falcons 37-0, but it wasn’t without an astonishing effort from Jones. Jones would have five tackles, one sack and two tackles for a loss and was proving he could put up numbers against some of the largest football programs in the nation.
the defense as a unit. BG went into the game having only one player, Chrissy Steffen, averaging double digits in scoring and, while she also had a nice game, it was redshirt junior Alexis Rogers who stuck out. For the game, Rogers had 25 points and a career-high of seven steals. She only had one assist, but helped down low with five rebounds. The Falcons got on the
board first with a three from Rogers and never looked back as they would lead the entire game. It did not hurt the Falcons that the Wildcats got off to a very slow start. After BG jumped out 3-0, the Wildcats would not answer until the 9:24 mark of the first half. Just to show how big of a game Rogers had, she outscored Northwestern by herself in the first half, putting up 16 to the Wildcats’ 15.
Also, with about four minutes remaining in the opening half she had more points than all the players on both teams combined. BG went into Nort hwestern’s home arena and pretty much dominated them in every facet of the game. The Falcons’ defense was stifling as they forced the Wildcats’ to shoot 29.2
The game set the pace for Jones as he would go the next five straight games earning himself a sack. Against Toledo, Miami (Ohio) and Eastern Michigan, Jones would have more than two sacks a game. “Chris Jones is a great player, but he’s a better person and leader,” Clawson said following the Miami victory. “He, at times, is a dominant player and he has made that whole group better.” Jones led the MAC allseason in sacks and, for several weeks, led the nation. Two zero sack games against Ohio and Kent State dropped him into third place for the nation; however, for defensive tackles only, he always led. For the majority of the season, Jones was the only defensive tackle in the top 50 for sacks nationally. The defense would finish the season sixth nationally in defense and ninth in points allowed. In all eight of the Falcons victories, the oppo-
nents never scored more than 14 points. During the teams sixgame win streak, the Falcons only allowed five touchdowns. Games against Eastern Michigan (24-3) and Buffalo (21-7) only saw opponents score due to costly turnovers back in the Falcons own half. Mid-season against Akron, Jones would lead his defense to only allowing 36 yards in the entire second-half. Against Ohio, it was a similar tale as the Bobcats were held to -4 yards in the second quarter. The Bobcats, at one point, were nationally ranked for two weeks. The defensive-led Falcons earned themselves a second place finish in the MAC East, falling just short of Kent State in an offensive shootout; a far cry from two seasons ago at a 2-10 record. “I felt like we had to put it all out there,” running back John Pettigrew said after the season. “Especially for the seniors who have come so far, work-
ing four years and with all the work and preparation we have been going through throughout our college careers, we just had to put it all out there.” Jones, as a senior, knew how far they had come and his tale is still unfolding. Prior to the Kent State game, Clawson went around the campus to pep up fans to gain their support for the big game. Clawson had confidence that Jones would be drafted and that scouts from all 32 NFL teams had come to see him play. Clawson’s confidence would not go unnoticed, as Jones took home the MAC Defensive player of the year, just the third Falcon to have ever been awarded it. The Military Bowl will be the first bowl since 2009, when Jones was a freshman. The game will take place against San Jose State University, the winners of the Western Athletic Conference with a record of 10-2, in Washington D.C. Dec. 27th at 3 p.m.

HOCKEY From Page 4 but it turned out to be a pretty good one.” BG entered the weekend averaging 1.7 goals per game. It was the first time this season the Falcons scored three or more goals in back-to-back games. While the team, as a whole, had a strong offensive weekend, several players had strong offensive weekends as well. Defenseman Bobby Shea doubled his season total for points by posting four assists on the weekend. Dan DeSalvo had three assists to give him a team-high of 11 points. Defensemen Marcus Perrier and Mike Sullivan each had two assists.
Sullivan’s six points on the season are a new career-high. Additionally, freshman forward Mark Cooper scored in each game, giving him a team-high five goals on the season. His goal on Saturday kicked off BG’s third period rally. “We stayed positive on the bench and just kept with it and got results,” Cooper said. “That’s how we fought back to get that one point [in the standings].” BG Coach Chris Bergeron compared the team’s third period perseverance to the attitude it had in the CCHA playoffs this past season. “In the third [Saturday], we just knew that we didn’t want to lose this game,” said Adam Berkle, who scored the game-tying goal with 56 seconds left in the third
period Saturday. “We wanted to stick with it. We came out hard in the third and battled the entire period.” Now, the team has some positive energy heading into this weekend, as it welcomes No. 5 Notre Dame to the BGSU Ice Arena. The Irish are 9-1 in CCHA play and lead the conference with 27 points. “We need to use this game as momentum for the second half of our year,” Bergeron said. “The 14 days off … it brought a stop to some of the negative momentum that we had. I thought we came up here and fought hard.” The Falcons and the Irish will play only one game this weekend. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m Saturday.
WOMEN’S From Page 5 percent on 14 of 48 shooting. The Wildcats had a lot of trouble holding onto the ball with 17 turnovers. Seven of the turnovers were at the hands of Rogers. With this win, BG has now won three straight games by a combined 65 points. The Falcons are also 2-1 in true road contests. BG will take a break for final exams and return to action one week from now against Wyoming.
