City calls for more salt; has 400 tons left By Danae King Editor-in-Chief

The National Weather Service said on Tuesday there would be six to eight inches in Bowling Green by Wednesday morning. While the forecast is being watched, the University won’t make the call to close until around 5 a.m. on Wednesday, said Dave Kielmeyer, University spokesperson. The University will not usually close for winter conditions unless the Wood County Sheriff’s Office declares a Level 3 Snow Emergency, Kielmeyer said. If a level 3 is declared, the University will close. John Mayers, a meteorologist for the NWS in Cleveland, said the snow was projected to begin around 8 p.m. on Tuesday night and fall lightly until around midnight. On Tuesday, Bowling Green was projected to be part of what Mayers described as the “axis of the heaviest snow,” he said. At midnight, the snow was projected to become heavier until 3 a.m., when it was predicted to change to a “wintry mix” of freezing rain and sleet, Mayers said. Mayers said there may also be one to two more inches that fall during the day Wednesday. On Tuesday, the city was waiting for the snow and getting the trucks ready to go, said Brian Craft, Public Works director. At the city council meeting Monday, the city discussed how to get more salt, as it has 400 tons left from the 1,400 tons it had at the start of the season. Craft said the city probably won’t use all of the 400 tons of salt it has left on this storm, but that it is calling its provider, Morton Salt, to get more within the next few weeks. “We tell drivers to knock down on the salt consumption,” Craft said. By 2 p.m. on Tuesday, the city hadn’t declared a snow emergency, but Craft said it would have more information by the end of Tuesday. The Ohio Department of Transportation, which maintains state and federal roads, prepared for the snow fall on Tuesday by calling in all crews of mechanics, drivers and managers, said Theresa Pollick, public information officer for ODOT District 2. ODOT also gets all of the material like salt, brine and calcium chloride for higher temperatures ready to go. Pollick said the “salt supply across the entire midwest is having issues.” It’s not that the Midwest is running out of salt, but that there are issues getting the salt to the locations where it is needed, Pollick said. “There are multiple issues every municipality is having that are different,” she said. She said each municipality and ODOT need to help each other out. Craft said the city was going to talk to ODOT later Tuesday afternoon. Sometimes, ODOT can help municipalities get salt at a lower price. “Ultimately, we want to look at the safety of everyone across the state, but we also have to maintain safety of our

Professor Marcy Beaverson instructs students during her math class. Beaverson was one of 30 faculty to be cut from the University last fall semester. She will not return in the fall.

A TEACHER WITH

TECHNIQUE

Professor Marcy Beaverson is favorite teacher to many students; part of faculty cuts By Cameron Teague Robinson Sports Editor

University Professor Marcy Beaverson is a wife to one, a mother to two young boys, a professor to some and a friend to many more. “She has been a very good friend not only to myself but to the other instructors as well,” said Mary Busdeker, secretary at the Mathematics and Statistics department. Beaverson has been in Bowling Green in one way or another since the day she left home to study Math and Physics at the University. She received her undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University, married her husband here, had her first child here and taught here for four years. Now as her fourth year comes to an end, Beaverson, who is one of the 30 faculty to be laid off this semester, will begin to pack her things and look for a new home to teach. “I am going to miss just walking around on campus

and seeing students that I have had,” Beaverson said. “I have been here four years and it’s hard to not run into a student that I have had, which amazes me.” During her time at the University as a graduate student, Beaverson was forced to teach a class and that is when she found her love for teaching, she said. “Part of our stipend was to teach a class as grad students, but I tutored on campus as well,” Beaverson said. “I enjoyed [talking] with a student who didn’t understand something and then getting them to have that lightbulb moment.” She has taught many different classes for the Math and Statistics Department including Calculus, Algebra Two, Intro to Statistics and a Math education class. She did not even know what it took to teach a class until she became a teacher at the University. “She is highly respected, and knowledgeable in different levels of math,” Busdeker said. Her students and co-workers refer to her as a professor

Airline From Page 1 This project, conducted by Russell Mills, an assistant professor in the political science department, will examine strategies in use by small airports to retain or attract new service. Junior Kasie Durkit has worked as an understudy doing research for the project since this past summer. “I had [Mills] for a class and he was very engaging and had everything in order, so I emailed him over the summer and told him if he had any projects he needed assistance with, I’d love to help,” Durkit said. After Mills asked Durkit to help with this particular project, research and fact checking began. “Why are [people] constantly flying over the little airports?” Durkit said. Mills worked for the Federal Aviation

Administration for about two years, which helped him learn how to write grant proposals. The FAA gave Mills a $300,000 grant for this project. There are a few more in the works. Durkit and Mills, along with Michael Carroll and Will Burns, came together to start researching how small hub and non-non hub airports can thrive, grow and learn from the more successful ones in order to attract more people. A non-non hub airport is an airport that does not have a docking point at it. For example, the Wood County Airport is considered a non-non hub airport. Small hub airports have a docking point, such as the Toledo Express Airport. Carroll and Burns are the economic developers in this project where they help show the demographics, Burns said. “We try to help see what will work and what won’t,” Burns said.

down to five focus groups — one of which is the Toledo Express Airport. “Bowling Green’s airport is considered a non-non hub airport and doesn’t receive enough traffic to be a part of this,” Durkit said. “But if they ever considered to expand, this research would certainly help.” Mills will be travelling within the next couple of months to each focus group they selected to talk to their airport managers, he said. “It will give us a better look at what we can do to help,” Mills said. This project is just in the first stage of development, but after the team travels to the five focus group airports, they will analyze the material for a written analysis. This will then be put into a report to be distributed to airport managers around the country. “Providing service to these little airports will be a great feeling in the end,” Durkit said.

Financially, more people would be travelling to other airports that had cheaper rates, and were bigger airports that offered more. “The incentive part of this project was figuring out these [smaller non hub] airports’ marketing strategies,” Durkit said. Part of that would be to waive certain little fees, such as landing fees. Another way would be using social media to advertise and spread the word. “Using hash tags [for Twitter] and other social media will help. Also, letting people know that ‘Hey, even though we are a local airport, we can offer what bigger airports offer,’” Durkit said. After the research, Mills said he and his team narrowed it down to 15 case studies of airports that either were extremely successful or not successful, to determine what airports should do and don’t do.

“In the MAC you know you just want to win. It’s not about being a finesse player I think we have to grind it out and there’s a lot more muscle play than in the ACC.” Alexis Rogers | Redshirt Senior

found their way home “No matter what conference you’re in, there’s always going to be a different style of play, but there’s always going to be competition where you’re at.” Erica Donovan | Redshirt Sophomore

Falcons Alexis Rogers, Erica Donovan make great combination on, off court; transferred from ACC schools By Tara Jones Assistant Sports Editor

Despite playing for two Atlantic Coast Conference inner-state rivaled teams, head coach Jennifer Roos said that Alexis Rogers and Erica Donovan make a good combination. The two Ohio-grown women basketball players returned to play for Bowling Green after each playing a year in the ACC. Rogers, a redshirt senior, joined the Falcons after one year of play at Duke University. Erica Donovan, a redshirt sophomore, transferred to BG after a year at North Carolina State University. Rogers, from West Chester, Ohio, was attracted to BG after signing her release from Duke because her friend’s mother is a BG alumna who played for the Falcons and remained close with the coaching staff. She suggested playing for the Falcons to Rogers, who then visited BG and made the decision to transfer. After her year at North Carolina State, Donovan wanted to find a program closer to home. The Toledo native originally looked at playing for University of Toledo, but said the Falcons reached her first. “I knew I wanted to play basketball, but the question was where,” Donovan said. “So it was kind of like a first-come, first-serve basis and Bowling Green wanted me first.”

Donovan said the biggest difference between the ACC and the Mid-American Conference is the style of play. She said the ACC typically has bigger girls, along with a different environment surrounding the game. However, she said that does not take away from the game itself. “No matter what conference you’re in, there’s always going to be a different style of play, but there’s always going to be competition where you’re at,” Donovan said. “Basketball is basketball; it doesn’t matter where you are.” The biggest adjustment from the two conferences is the speed of the game Rogers said. “I think the ACC is a lot quicker, it’s like quick and finesse,” Rogers said. “You have a lot more players who like to be finesse with how they play, whereas in the MAC you know you just want to win. It’s not about being a finesse player I think we have to grind it out and there’s a lot more muscle play than there is in the ACC.” Rogers added that the venues are different, and typically larger in the ACC, but said the atmosphere that women’s basketball at BG attracts is “wilder” than what she experienced in the ACC and at Cameron Indoor Stadium. “I don’t think I would trade the BG fans for a Cameron Crazie,” Rogers said. “For a normal, like Duke/NC State game, which is [a] close and local [game] right down the street, you wouldn’t have as big a turnout as we have normally here.”

Falcons to host Seahawks make statement with defense in Super Bowl as Broncos fall apart Western Michigan Disappointing start for Denver leads to good outcome for Seattle, in blowout game

Women’s basketball looks to add to their MAC record By Tara Jones Assistant Sports Editor

The BG women’s basketball team will return to the Stroh Center on Wednesday as it welcomes Western Michigan University. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Falcons enter Wednesday’s matchup at 18-3 overall and 8-1 in Mid-American Conference play. This past week, BG claimed two wins in battles against MAC foes Ohio University and the University of Toledo. Western Michigan currently has an overall record of 9-11 and a MAC record of 5-4. Prior to conference play, the Broncos claimed wins over UMass, Detroit, Chicago State and Valparaiso. The Broncos lost to Albany, Michigan, Tulsa, Arkansas, IUPUI, UIC and Oakland before heading to MAC play. Once into the conference slate, Western Michigan defeated Miami twice, Buffalo, Toledo and Northern Illinois. The Broncos have lost matchups to Ohio, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan and Ball State. This past year, the Falcons split their series between the

two teams. On the team’s road trip to Western Michigan, the Falcons lost 54-55 on Feb. 10. The teams faced off again in the second round of the MAC championship in Cleveland. BG came out victorious by a score of 55-53. Redshirt sophomore Erica Donovan said Wednesday’s matchup is just another game for her team to learn from and move forward. “For myself individually, [I am focusing on] just doing what I know I can do, you know, don’t try to do too much, and then as a team, play together, win together and move forward from there,” Donovan said. Head coach Jennifer Roos said Western has two “tremendous” post players who are both under six feet, but are two of the best post players they’ve seen based on their field goal percentage. “We [had] our hands full last year, and we’ll have our hands full again on Wednesday,” Roos said. Following the Western Michigan matchup, the Falcons will return to the Stroh Center to face Miami on Feb. 9. Sunday’s game is set to tipoff at 2 p.m.

Brett Creamer Assistant Sports Editor

This past Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the Seattle Seahawks won their first franchise championship by defeating the Denver Broncos 43-8. The Seahawks were ahead from the first snap of the game when Broncos center Manny Ramirez snapped the ball over quarterback Peyton Manning into their own end zone, which resulted in a safety and the first two points of the game for the Seahawks. The Seahawks kept the early momentum going and marched 51 yards on nine plays and settled on a Steven Hauschka 31-yard field goal to give Seattle a 5-0 lead midway through the first quarter. The Broncos could not get any offense going in the early stages of the game, and after the first quarter found themselves down 8-0. With the Seahawks driving and facing 3rd and four from the Denver five yard line, quarterback Russell Wilson’s pass fell incomplete over the head of wide receiver Golden Tate. However, a questionable pass interference was called on Broncos

cornerback Tony Carter, which resulted in a first and goal for Seattle. Two plays later Marshawn Lynch found himself in the end zone from one yard out for the first touchdown of the game. With the Broncos facing a 15-0 deficit, they could feel the pressure. Manning and the Broncos had a 3rd and 13 from Seattle’s 35 yard line when Manning’s pass was intercepted by Malcolm Smith who returned it 69 yards for a touchdown to give the Seahawks a 22-0 lead. The Broncos, who led the league in points and yards per game, were held to zero points going into halftime. After the Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers halftime concert, Seahawks’ Percy Harvin received the second half kickoff on a bounce where he then proceeded to elude and dodge Bronco defenders and take 87 yards to the end zone. As the Broncos trailed 29-0 past the midway point, Manning connected with Demaryius Thomas for 23 yards into Seattle territory, but was then hit and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Smith. Wilson and the Seahawks then had a flawless drive which basically put a stamp on the game when Jermaine Kearse caught a 23-yard touchdown pass to make the score 36-0 Seattle. The Broncos finally got on the score board on the last play of the

third quarter when Manning found Thomas in the corner of the end zone on a 14-yard touchdown pass. Wes Welker caught the two point conversion from Manning to make the score 36-8 after three quarters of play. While the Broncos seemingly never had a chance after the first play of scrimmage, they still set two Super Bowl records in this game. First was receptions by wide receiver for Demaryius Thomas who had 13 catches for 118 yards and one touchdown. The other Super Bowl record was 34 passing completions by Peyton Manning. Although this loss put a dent in Manning’s legacy for never winning the big game, it was still an astonishing season, and something to be recognized for all his acknowledgments. Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith was Super Bowl XLVIII Most Valuable Player. He had 10 tackles to go along with his interception for a touchdown, and fumble recovery. Russell Wilson led his team to a Super Bowl victory in just his second year in the league. While Wilson is often being compared and critiqued to Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, who were also in his draft class, Wilson was able to put aside all the doubters and be the first champion out of the two quarterbacks picked before him.

Columnists Respond to Super Bowl XLVIII commercials

Advertising in game too much; racism apparent in online outrage Paul Mckenzie COLUMNIST

Whether one likes professional football or not, the Super Bowl has become a special day in American culture for a multitude of reasons. I am old enough to remember when it was just a game and trust me, it was truly better that way. For better or worse though, the big game has become bigger than life. There are worse things in American life than gathering to watch a mostly boring game backed with advertisements that cost more than what 99.9 percent of us will ever see in a lifetime. Yes, Super Bowl Sunday is now part of our collective fabric. It brings families and friends together, and that is fantastic. It showcases personal-interest stories that sometimes go past maudlin and are actually inspirational. Unfortunately, Super Bowl Sunday also brings more unsavory groups of people and messages together. The Super Bowl is “get even day” for scores of football gamblers. Gamblers who have lost all year will try to get even in one last desperate bet. Some succeed, some do not. I am a proponent of legalized gambling so I believe the

bringing together of degenerate gamblers and bookies is a good thing; as long as no legs get broken. And yes, the last part of the last sentence is in jest. Worse than bookies though are the demagogues. Words have meaning. They can inspire, demean, foment and injure. This brings me back to a much-hyped part of the Super Bowl: the commercials. There was a time when Super Bowl commercials were just ads, not cultural touchstones. I yearn for those days, but I am just being a cranky, middle-aged man when I say that. What I really yearn for is the day when conservatives in this country will learn that “if it is not white, it is alright.” I am referring to the CocaCola and Cheerios commercials from the game Sunday. For those who missed the game or the commercials, the Coke ad featured “America the Beautiful” being sung by non-whites in their native languages. The ad’s purpose was to show how America is indeed a melting pot and that CocaCola, like all our many different ethnicities, is truly American. The Cheerios commercial featured the same adorable biracial girl and her family that created such a stir in conservative circles this past summer. Both of these commercials describe what is right

Bra responds to heart rate, not what women need Danae KinG Editor-in-chief

First high heels, then hose, now ... a bra that conveniently unsnaps itself when a man, or anything else, gets a woman’s heart beating fast. What will men think up to demean women with next? Men have messed with women’s whole bodies and everything they wear, eat, use, etc. to make it more amenable to men. And bras were like that too. There are lacy bras, cupless, strapless, pasties and more to make men salivate. But can’t the closing of the bra just be up to the woman? Apparently not.

“First of all, no bra can decide when I’m ready to unsnap it; only I can.” A company in Japan has created what it calls a “true love tester” bra. It senses that your heart rate is rising and wham! It snaps open, ready for the supposedly smitten woman to unbutton the rest of her clothing. As a bra-wearing member of society, and a person with a stake in this story, I had a variety of strong reactions. First of all, no bra can decide when I’m ready to unsnap it; only I can. The fact that anyone [actually two men] think bras should automatica lly unsnap when a woman’s heart rate increases is ludicrous.

So is the thought that they should unsnap when the bra thinks a woman is in love. First of all, a woman’s heart rate could increase for many other reasons. For instance, I’m pretty sure mine bumps up a notch or two when I’m nervous, when I’ve had too much caffeine or when I’m scared. Sorry, but when I’m on a roller coaster or in a class after my first [several] cup[s] of coffee, I prefer my bra to stay firmly snapped. And, whether or not I’m in love, I’m pretty sure I can decide when and where to unsnap my bra and can figure out how to do it on my own. Thanks to Japanese men, for the forethought and attempted innovation, but there are many other things wrong with

bras. Also, I take a little bit of offense at the idea that I may not be able to unsnap my own bra or judge on my own when the time is right. Uncomfortable as they are, I don’t think random opening needs to be added to the complications that already exist with women’s undergarments. Instead, let’s try to make the contraptions comfortable and wearable. Women wear them every day. I’m sure their first concern with them is not how to get them open when they fall in love. At least it’s not mine. And who said it should be? I think of myself and my comfort before I think of how prepared my bra is when I’m with a nice boy.

Because that’s all this ad is.” Of course, Twitter responses were particularly crude. “I thought we spoke English in America, not some Communist jibber-jabber,” tweeted one bitter critic, apparently unaware of the disconnect between language and political ideology. It’s hard to discern how authentic such remarks are, but Beck’s comment, specifically, represents the fears of many Americans that the United States is fracturing due to the growth in diversity, be it in language or heritage.

Indeed, the true threat to American nationhood is the ugly intolerance spewed forth following such wonderful displays of America’s great, cultural mosaic like that of Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl advertisement. Such hateful comments threaten to dismember the nation, to break America into “a sheet of loose sand,” with the cement of our core values shattered. America is far more beautiful when the rich cultural and linguistic diversity within its bounds are tolerated. Respond to Derek at thenews@bgnews.com

Apply yourself for success kayla brandts Columnist

As college students, success is on our minds. What can we do to set us apart so in the end we find success? What is success? The definition society gives us is having great wealth or having power over something. Perhaps the societal definition is incorrect. Maybe success is finding something that gives you satisfaction and pursuing it to the fullest. Taking every situation, good or bad, and applying yourself yields satisfaction. If this is true, could we assume that someone who is working full time at Staples is just as successful

as someone like Bill Gates? On the surface, this may seem untrue, but if both of them are happy, doing the best they can and living up to their potential, then success is conquered. True success does not come easily. The best things in life take the longest to happen and success is no exception. After all, when death appears, they disappear. Success is about leaving a legacy, even if it only affects one person. Success has no sentence-long definition, but it is something that should be answered. Define your own success and pursue it. That is essentially why we are all here, to fulfill that purpose we were born to do. Respond to Kayla at thenews@bgnews.com

Mayers said the NWS is predicting that when people walk out of their house Wednesday morning, it may be icy. “Exercise caution on the roadways and walking to the car,” he said. The “wintry mix” may make the roads “pretty slick” on Wednesday, Mayers said. The temperatures are projected to drop again on Wednesday, causing the possibility of more snowfall, Mayers said. If a snow emergency is declared, residents need to move their cars from snow streets within two hours of it being declared and clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of the snow falling, Craft said. “I think people by this point ... have a good handle

and it seemed like many other students felt the same way. She gave us all so many opportunities to get help if we needed it.” The technique “Chalk and Talk” is something Beaverson talked about many times, but one she stays away from when teaching. The technique means that the professor lectures and gives homework. Beaverson likes to get away from that technique and get her students involved in the class. In her Math 2130 class, for exam-

ple, to get the students to understand the concepts better they use different colored blocks. “Someone in the administration made a mistake by laying her off,” Gregor said. “Now not only do I and the other students have to suffer, but so does she.” Beaverson is not sure what she is going to do next; she just wants to have a job. She joked that she will even push carts at Meijer, saying it will be a low stress job. “Where ever she goes she will be a good asset,” Busdeker said.

WOMEN’S From Page 3 Teammate senior Jillian Halfhill said Rogers is fun to play with because she is easy to find on the court to pass to and also returns the favor when she is not open herself. Halfhill said Donovan is a unique player for the team because she can score from both the post and the guard position, a great asset to a team with a roster of 12 players. “When they came, they made a big impact, so I

guess you can say it’s from their bigger schools or what not, but them playing here has been huge for us and it’s made us real successful,” Halfhill said. Roos said Bowling Green is very fortunate to have both Rogers and Donovan in the program. The two have “really changed our program,” both being eligible for the 2013-14 season. She said the best thing about having both players on the court is that when one is being double teamed, they can look to the other to make a good play, she said.

Roos said off of the court, Rogers and Donovan are two very emotional kids who work hard and are very hard on themselves. She said they both have the ability to talk to just about anybody, a trait many people don’t possess. “Both of them have a rigorous academic schedule and they’ve got a lot on their plates academically as well as athletically because they want nothing but the best for this program so they’re going to do whatever they can,” Roos said.
