Falcons extend unbeaten streak against Irish By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter

In what was shaping up to be a tremendous goalie duel, BG’s newfound offensive proficiency ended up stealing the show. The Falcons scored four times — twice in both the second and third period — to upset No. 5 Notre Dame Tuesday night at the BG Ice Arena. “I felt like we were here to play from the beginning,” said BG coach Chris Bergeron. “It was almost like we were gripping it a little tight early … but I thought as the game

went on we hung in there and capitalized on some chances we had.” BG took control of the game in the second period, outshooting Notre Dame 13-6. The Falcons scored both goals in the period. Both were one-timer shots off perfect passes. Ryan Peltoma tied the game at one with seven minutes left in the period. On the rush, he received a cross-ice pass from Ryan Carpenter and buried it past Notre Dame goalie Mike Johnson. “It all started off the breakout … [Carpenter] did a good job of

taking the puck up and pushing the pace wide,” Peltoma said. “I was the fourth guy in late. I saw an opening, and Carpenter did a good job finding me.” The game remained tied for a minute and 20 seconds.

Dan DeSalvo scored his first goal since Nov. 16 on shot in the low slot. He was able to fight off Notre Dame defenseman Robbie Russo and swat the puck past Johnson off a pass from Ben Murphy. For the second straight game, BG lost a player to a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. Connor Kucera was called for checking from behind 6:25 into the first period. Because of the game misconduct, Kucera was tossed from the game, forcing BG to play nearly the entire game with five defensemen.

“They all come to mind, I don’t want to just pick one guy out of the five,” Bergeron said. “All five of them sucked it up and did a good job. They did a good job of keeping things simple.” However, like this past week against Michigan, BG was able to kill off the penalty without allowing a goal. BG spent seven minutes shorthanded in the first period, but did not allow a power play goal.

History class focuses on drugs, alcohol in US Course now available to undergraduate students Bridjet Mendyuk Reporter

“Drugs and Alcohol in US History” shows to be an interesting course among undergrads, graduate students and Mad Men fans alike. Doctoral student Joe Faykosh said he took Drugs and Alcohol in US History as a graduate class and that his professor, the department chair of the history department, Scott Martin, set the class apart from the rest. “He gives students the floor, he really wanted the students to be the ones discussing the class,” Faykosh said. “What he does well is that he doesn’t take one side over another.” The class was exclusive to graduate students in the past, but is currently being offered to undergraduates. Martin said he taught the class years ago in a different form. “We basically go chronologically and start with a broad discussion of how drugs and alcohol have shaped the modern world,” Martin said. Martin’s class covers everything from the colonial era to the modern war on drugs. Junior Mary Bogart said she enjoys the class and being able to look at the history of drug and alcohol in America from a different perspective. “It’s nice to think of all these events in history in a different light,” Bogart

Residence Life announces gender-neutral housing for fall 2013

In fall 2013, students will be able to register to live within a gender-neutral community at the University. The community, which will be located in Founders Residence Hall, will allow students to live with students of the opposite sex. Director of Residence Life Sarah Waters made the official announcement at the Resident Student Association’s meeting Tuesday night. “We’re very happy to see this come together,” Waters said. “It’s a big milestone for the

said. “It’s not traditional history.” Zoe Dietsch is also taking the course this semester and said it focuses on underground movements in US history that most students wouldn’t think about being a part of the criteria. “It’s not just drugs and alcohol, it’s also about tea, coffee and chocolate, things you wouldn’t normally think about,” Dietsch said. “It’s a twist, a twist on history.” As far as teaching style goes, some students like the way Martin teaches the class as well. Faykosh said Martin made the classes interesting by showing clips of TV shows such as Mad Men as an example of how prevalent drugs and alcohol were at the time. “He has a great way of letting everyone know their opinion is valued,” Faykosh said. Dietsch said Martin is more engaging than most teachers she has had. Bogart agreed and said Martin is a relaxed professor and would recommend the class to all students, even if their not history majors. “His whole attitude is a relaxed approach,” Bogart said. “I’m really enjoying it.” Drugs and Alcohol in US History (HIST 3910) is still open for those interested in taking the class and is Tuesday and Thursday’s from 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.

University.” In its first year, the program will take place on campus on a somewhat trial basis, she said. The gender-neutral community will function similar to current learning communities but will be more “thematic” in nature, rather than identifying it with a certain school or college, Waters said. Returning students will be able to apply to live in the community, freshmen will not be able to specifically apply to live in the new genderneutral community, she said. The soon to be community is the result of a number of groups including RSA, Residence Life and the LGBT community working together, Waters said. “I knew this was the year we wanted to get this done,” Waters said. “It was really a team year.”

LILIAN BRIGGS speaks Tuesday night about her experiences as a transgender and how she became a human rights advocate. She encouraged people to look at others for being human, not for any other traits.

Speaker urges transgender acceptance By Danae King Campus Editor

Lilian Briggs spoke about her life story and being transgender to a classroom full of students Tuesday night. “The ultimate goal is to inspire change,” Briggs said. “If I just reached one of them, it’s worth it.” Briggs is a student at Owens Community College, where she is a sophomore, president of the Gay Straight Alliance and the LGBTQIA Student Initiatives Director. The event was titled The Gender Trouble and is part of the Mosaic Cultural Diversity Colloquium Series, hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs. Krishna Han, assistant director for diversity education at the University, hosted the event and invited Briggs to come. “The program was originally designed to raise awareness to highlight diversity and the communication that kind of sustains

our world,” Han said. “I came to realize that having a open and honest conversation seemed to be the most powerful way of reaching to people’s heart.” Han wanted Briggs to come instead of just having a panel because he is a believer in the power of storytelling. Briggs told of the struggles she went through becoming transgendered and through seeking the acceptance of her parents. “My mom used to say ‘I gave birth to a boy and I’ll bury a boy,’” Briggs said. Today, Briggs said her mother buys her makeup, and is more accepting. Transgendered people don’t just struggle with their family’s acceptance, Briggs was also discriminated against by others. During one instance, Briggs was trying to get away from someone discriminating against her. She hit the person with her car twice to

get away and was sentenced to six years in jail. While in jail, Briggs was assaulted, raped and told to get over it. “It took all these things to happen to me … ” Briggs said. “I will be damned if for five years I wasn’t anything but a number.” Briggs now advocates for others and said she doesn’t judge people on race, gender or sexual orientation. “You are a human being and as a human rights activist, that’s all that matters to me,” Briggs said. “Being transgender is not who I am, it just happens to be something I’m classified as.” After Briggs spoke, three students in the LGBT community at the University took part in a panel discussion with Briggs. The panel answered audience questions. Freshman Jazmin Baldwin

Student Recreation Center attendance booms in January Rec increases programs to retain, increase student visitors By Noah Jones Reporter

About 12,000 students v isited t he Student Recreation Center this past week to fulfill their New Year’s resolution. The Rec will see an estimated 48,000 visits in the month of January compared to the usual 28,000 monthly visits — an increase of about 71 percent weekly visits, said Steve Kampf, assistant vice president of student affairs. “We see two dramatic increases in our facility,” Kampf said. “The first one is the first few weeks of school and the bigger spike is now.” The Rec is focused on retaining the students by increasing the number of classes they provide such as TRX and Body Pump, as well as featuring climbing walls and personal trainers. “If [students] have a skilled fitness professional along with them, they can see the health benefits whether it is weight loss, increased energy or

reduced stress level that is the motivation to continue on,” said Karyn Smith, University health educator. “Whether it is to take on a new workshop or continue to go to the gym on their own.” The Rec is hosting 12 workshops that run until the end of February. The next class begins after spring break, Smith said. “It is great for people to commit to something if they have a goal,” she said. Be c au s e of t he i nc re a s e d nu mber s, going to the Rec may be overwhelming with new student attendance. To better accommodate students, the Rec’s website has an app allowing users to check how busy it is, Kampf said. Monday and Tuesday are the busiest days of the week, he said. “These days are early in the week. Other things come up in the week: people work, have class work and classes,” Kampf said. Freshman Jessie Pearson said she tries goes to the

gym three days a week. “I like to go to the gym with my friends because I do not want to gain the ‘freshman 15,’”Pearson said. Pearson said she has gone to the gym off and on throughout the year. Senior Matt Ballinger said the amount of people at the Rec gets annoying because there are more people taking up spots to play pick-up basketball. He still goes to the Rec because he believes it is important to be active. Ballinger said he has been coming to the Rec since his junior year to play basketball. The students’ attitude towards starting the new year at the Rec is consistent across the nation, Kampf said. “Ever y hea lt h club in the country sees an increase in activity right now,” he said. “It is important to not jump into anything too fast or too soon,” Smith said. “Start up slow — 20 minutes a day and progressively move up.”

As students walk on the sidewalks to class, a tunnel system running throughout campus underneath them may go unnoticed. The tunnels reach as much as six feet deep and six feet wide with pipes that transfer steam to buildings on campus to provide heat and to warm up water. The underground system covers most of the Un iversit y, ra ng i ng from Thurstin Avenue east to the Harshman Quadrangle and as far as the Technology building. Robert Boucher, Senior Project Manager in the department of Design and Construction, said the steam goes out through the pipes and passes through a heat exchanger in each building. There’s a condensate line from the exchanger for the steam that condenses in the device that’s converting it to hot water in the buildings. “It basically works as if the Thurstin Avenue central Heat Plant that provides the steam is like your heart, and the tunnel system is like your veins distributing the services out to the various buildings on campus,” Boucher said. “The condensate is returned back through the tunnels to the Heat Plant and they reuse it to

produce more steam in a cost efficient manner that keeps going back around the loop as a cycle.” The tunnels require routine maintenance and renovation and must be kept in good condition, said Paul Goth, project manager and mechanical engineer at URS Corp in Cleveland. URS has recently been the design firm responsible for several recent renovations costing more than six million dollars. “Tunnel repairing has been an ongoing process,” Goth said. “Campus Operations does walkthroughs of the tunnels to pinpoint problems with things in the tunnels such as steam traps, condensate and receiver tanks and expansion joints that need constant repair.” Patrick Hoehn, superintendent in the department of Mechanical and Engineering at Campus Operations, said because of how large the tunnel system is, it usually takes two weeks to check every part for maintenance. There aren’t many problems found often, but when something is found, it is fixed immediately. “Anytime we see a water leak we take care of it,” Hoehn said. “If there is an expansion joint that starts leaking or starts to break then it gets kind of expensive. It can get up to several thousand dollars to repair and may take a little more

Many renovations have been made in the past, but the pipes can last for as long as 50 years and as the University keeps growing, so does the infrastructure. “There could be other ideas considered in the future that may be used in place of tunnels, due to cost concerns,” Boucher said. “Tunnels are just easier for maintaining and future modifications to utilities within.”

Aging population subject Listen to the best voice, not the obvious one to predjudice, stereotypes OLIVIA SMITH COLUMNIST

Most people have heard about racism and sexism, but ageism not so much. Ageism is defined as negative attitudes, prejudices or stereotypes toward the aging population. These negative attitudes can stem from many things, like actual resentment or simply because it is funny to crack jokes about old people. Little do people know, our stereotypes towards older people directly influence the attitudes of this population, and contribute to how they age. Many like to think they will never be a part of this aging population, but the truth is everyone gets old. As a nation, we should not fear or make fun of aging. Instead, we should embrace it. As people age, many are lucky and age without complications. Some are not so lucky. People encounter diseases or disorders that can be debilitating in later life. Fortunately, there are some willing to help older adults with these problems. Many professions are geared to helping the older population, especially since there are so many older adults in America. According to the U.S. Census 2010, adults ages 65 and older constitute about 13 percent of America’s total population. This number will grow rapidly as the baby boomer generation continues to get older. It is estimated that by 2030, when we college students should be in the prime of our careers, 1 in 5 people will be age 65 or older. Even with these statistics, many people choose to avoid older adults because of their prejudices. Working with older adults may not be the most desired or glamorous of jobs, but it has to be done. For this reason, I chose a major that will allow me to display my passion for helping old people. I am majoring in communication sciences and disorders. Communication disorders are common in older adults. These problems make it extremely difficult for them to live a normal life. Communication disorders can occur from a stroke, traumatic brain injuries, dementia or even just deterioration of motor speech control from aging.

Communication is absolutely essential in our world and to not be able to do so is extremely frustrating and sometimes life-threatening. As a practicing speechlanguage pathologist, I plan to work in an environment with the older population. For me to effectively do so, I must rid myself of stereotypes associated with old people to ensure that my treatment of these people will be beneficial. When it comes to stereotypes, people think that old people are smelly, grumpy, unable to learn new things, decrepit and terrible drivers. The list goes on. If society continues to put these ideas in the aging populations’ heads, eventually they will believe them to be true. This changes their overall attitude and thus makes them take on these stereotypes. Basically, if an older adult is told that they are stubborn and cannot learn new things, then their attitudes will eventually change so these negative characteristics are true. It is like if someone continually talks down to you like you are incompetent, you will eventually begin to view yourself as dumb. We are able to change this pattern. If society stops portraying older adults and aging in general so negatively then the attitudes of older people will change and the health, physical and mental, will increase. If we start highlighting the good things about aging the entire attitude of the aging population will be likely to become more positive, and result in better health overall. Stereotypes exist everywhere, whether they are negative or positive. It is up to us as a society to change the attitudes towards the groups of people associated with these stereotypes so they cease to exist. People are so concerned with preventing aging because they fear they will become a part of these stereotypes. I hope that in the future, older adults will be looked upon more positively so everyone can live a longer, happier, healthier and more productive life. I also hope that with my profession, I can work in a way that does not promote these stereotypes and will instead work in a way to eliminate them.

PHILLIP MARTIN COLUMNIST When in doubt, focus on the right voice. Why didn’t I say listen to God? Well, this past weekend I struggled with unbelief. Therefore, I would feel foolish advising you to do so. Nevertheless, I urge you to listen to the voice in your mind that points you towards a good end. Be careful. Although you may hear something that sounds good, it may not necessarily be something you should answer to. From what I’ve learned, Satan can become a master of trickery once he has a foothold on the human mind. He will take advantage of weaknesses in the fortifications of your heart. He will use raging anger, insecurities or mortal wounds as tools for sinning. This past Friday, my unbelief began, and I almost used it to do something I probably would have never forgiven myself for. I wanted to use my column as a way of voicing my ultimate frustration and

doubt in God. I also wanted to finally lambaste people who hurt me without totally calling them out. I started to believe that the God, Yahweh, I believed since about age eight was nothing but an unfair and cruel entity if he in fact is real. After recounting several experiences, I felt like he would never satisfy my loneliness or make up for injustices and misunderstandings. I felt like he honestly didn’t care about the desires of my heart. Beforehand, I had witnessed one of my enemies become appointed to a position I so strongly coveted. This person took part in an event that hurt my feelings 10 months ago. Despite my poor taste in this person, I was ready to forgive. Initially, I was cool with the addition of this person in my study group. They did a fantastic job facilitating an activity. Last year, I heard that they were good with people. Then, I also discovered how genuinely they loved God. They have an inspiring grace story to back this up. You just don’t see many people who are as authentic as this person. So, I prayed for this per-

son’s success. I want them to enjoy their upcoming marriage and nursing career. However, my feelings slightly changed when I was told I should never seek after such a position in the study group. I was wondering why God had allowed this person to live my dream. I began having qualms towards this enemy serving me. So, I prepared a column to voice my distaste for my misfortune and my unbelief, but something stopped me a few mornings later. A voice began telling me, “Phil, you don’t want to do this.” Soon, I allowed the voice to speak once more until it became overwhelming, flooding my thoughts. “Yes, Phil, I know how much you would love to crush those people. And, it is also okay to hate me, but you can’t do this. You won’t live with yourself,” I heard it say. Because I have unbelief in God, I will give him the benefit of doubt and say the voice was his. It sounded so right and convicting. The enemy serving in my study group was not the only person the voice concerned me about. I began thinking about this

girl I met at church. She was the second non-staff person who greeted me at my first h2o Church service nearly two years ago. She seems as genuine as the enemy I spoke about. She’s always been so tender and kind, which makes her seem angelic to me. I told someone that this girl must have her wings hidden. I don’t even have romantic feelings for her, but she, as a person, is one driving force that has kept me from destroying my enemies’ reputation. A recurring fear of me incurring disappointment unto this girl has helped me many times before to resend many opinion articles I have written. The voice also made me think about the wellbeing of other people in my life. Perhaps the voice I heard was God’s after all, and perhaps that is I why I felt compelled to write about it? To end this, think about the voices you allow control to your thoughts. Listening to the right one may save you from worlds of trouble.

Vaccine misconceptions, myths impact epidemic CASSIE SULLIVAN COLUMNIST

The flu season is upon us as an epidemic level has been declared in the US. As everyone is urged to take precaution when feeling ill, citizens are also urged to go and get the flu vaccine in order to protect their health and wellbeing, which is met with controversy, of course. Does the flu shot actually work? Medical professionals say yes, other people say no. In America, there is a healthy but sometimes negative skepticism of individuals who actually work in fields that should have the public’s wellbeing in mind. As students on a college campus, we’re taught to evaluate what

sources to pull information from and what not to pull information from, and this talent and ability shouldn’t just be limited to writing papers, but making decisions in everyday life. Or, in better terms, the medical professionals are a solid source, such as scholarly sources or academic papers, while someone on a blog or an answer board is the same as using Wikipedia as a source, which is a no-no when it comes to paper writing. Unlike the individual hiding behind a screen name on an answer board, a medical professional has done what you’re in the process of doing — getting their degree in that field. They know what they’re talking about. Another reason why to not get the flu vaccine is people say they had the vaccinations, but wound up getting sick afterwards. Therefore, the vaccine

didn’t work. But that is not the case. Every year, vaccines are created with three strains of the flu that are thought to be the most common in the upcoming year. The flu mutates every year and has many different strains, the two of the three strains included in this year’s shot being H1N1 and H3N2; meaning that it is most likely that this individual was taken ill by a strain the vaccine was not meant for. The flu has many disguises, but the vaccines are made to target only what is thought to be the most common strains. Sometimes, parts of the strain that are included in the shot also protect one’s immunity system from being attacked by similar strains that have the same genetic makeup as the strain listed. If an individual becomes sick within two weeks of being vaccinated, the vac-

cination did not have time to build up an immunity that would fight off the invading cells. Being a student studying and going to school on a college campus, I know how exposed I am to a number of diseases and viruses, especially living in residence halls. I wish I could say students are creatures capable of keeping bathrooms clean, but that is not true. While there is a list of personal hygiene and communal bathroom rules that should be shared, only one during flu season is rather important: washing hands. Avoid touching places like mouth, nose, and eyes to prevent the spread of germs. When you have to cough or sneeze, be sure to do it in a tissue (and throw it away) or in the crook of your elbow to

Falcons aim to bounce back after loss to Toledo Coming off recent loss, women’s basketball team looks ahead to hosting Ball State Wednesday at Stroh Center

By Max Householder Reporter

The BG women’s basketball team will look to have a stout defensive effort in order to stop the rising Ball State team Wednesday night. BG recently lost its first conference game Sunday against Toledo. The loss came three days after running all over Kent State, 69-33 to start MAC play. It was an

ugly loss for the Falcons in the sense that it was their second worst scoring output of the season next to a 42-53 defeat at the hands of Villanova Nov. 24. Scoring, which is important in any sport, has been key for the Falcons when getting over the 60 mark. In fact, all of BG’s 10 wins have come when the team scores more than 60. They are also 0-5 when scoring fewer than 60, which happened Sunday against Toledo. BG’s defense has been good so far in MAC play as it

has given up just over 40.5 points per game. The team has hosted its first two MAC opponents to a shooting percentage of 28.7 percent. Yet, the Falcons have struggled when their shooters fail to show up. Coach Roos stressed her frustrations after the Toledo game by saying she wished the

Falcons to battle Redhawks in Oxford By Alex Krempasky Assistant Sports Editor

BG’s men’s basketball team is traveling to Oxford, Ohio Wednesday to take on the 6-8 (1-1) Miami University Redhawks in their second away conference game of the season. The Falcons are currently winless in away games and has only one win away from the Stroh Center — BG is 1-2 in games on a neutral court with the win against Division II AlabamaHuntsville. BG is coming off its first conference win against Eastern Michigan on Saturday and is currently 1-1 in conference play. Sophomore Richaun Holmes is looking to boost his blocking stats against the Redhawks, who let up an average of 3.7 blocks per game. Holmes currently averages

2.87 blocks per game and has a total of 43 blocks. If Holmes continues, he will have a total of 89 blocks on the season and break the BG record by 30. The Falcons are looking for their third-straight win against Miami. BG defeated the Redhawks in both meetings in 2012 — they won 65-57 at Millett Hall in Oxford and 56-51 at the Stroh Center. Miami (6-8) has had a season comparable to BG’s but things may look a bit different when the Falcons arrive at the Millett Hall Wednesday. At the end of this past season, Charlie Coles retired from the head coach position after 16 years. Coles was responsible for taking the Redhawks to three NCAA Tournaments, including a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 1999.

This year, John Cooper took the reigns from Coles in April after the past three seasons at Tennessee State. Prior to his time at Tennessee State, he spent 15 years as an assistant coach at Fayetteville State, South Carolina, Oregon and Auburn. Cooper and the Redhawks have faced tough non-conference opponents, including thenranked No. 6 North Carolina State on Nov. 9 and then-ranked No. 2 Louisville (now No. 1 in the nation) on Nov. 18. They lost both games, 97-59 and 80-39 respectively. Miami has also defeated some strong opponents this season. On Nov. 21, the Redhawks defeated William & Mary 72-59, who boasted a three-game winning

Every March, there’s always a couple unbelievable upsets in the NCA A men’s basketball tournament. This year will be no exception — but who will be the 2013 Cinderella teams? This past year the best upsets came from No. 15 seed Norfolk State beating No. 2 seed Missouri, No. 15 seed Lehigh beating No. 2 seed Duke, No. 12 Virginia Commonwealth beating No. 5 seed Wichita State and No. 13 seed Ohio, who made it to the Sweet Sixteen after beating No. 4 seed Michigan and No. 12 seed South Florida. This year there are many prime candidates to potentially shake up the tournament come March. The Mountain West Conference is the home to six potential bracket-busting teams; No. 19 New Mexico, No. 15 San Diego State, Boise State, Wyoming, UNLV and Colorado State. All of these teams have at least 13 wins and a maximum of three losses. Along with their records, they have amounted to five victories against ranked opponents. However, the Mountain West teams failed to make an impact in the 2012 edition of the tournament, and only one of the four teams made it past the round of 64. Another conference that could surprise the country is the Missouri Valley Conference. No. 12 Creighton has only lost one game all season, and it was to Boise State. The Blue Jays have won impressive games against Wisconsin and California.

Wichita State has been ranked twice but has been knocked out each time they broke into the top 25. The Shockers have only lost two games but none of the teams they have played were top 25 and only two of the teams were in the tournament in 2012. They still have to play No. 12 Creighton twice in conference play. Indiana State is the third team from the Missouri Valley Conference that could potentially wreak havoc in the tournament this year and the Sycamores have a history of busting the bracket. In 1979, Larry Bird led the Sycamores to the National Championship game, but lost to Magic Johnson and the Michigan State Spartans. Indiana State hasn’t had great success against top-25 teams but it played strong to beat Miami (FL) and Mississippi in a tournament in Hawaii during winter break. There are a few teams in the country that could be vulnerable to being upset in the tournament. North Carolina, Connecticut and Kentucky have had seasons that have been worse than expected. Both have fallen out of the top25 this season and have not been able to reach it again. Duke and Kansas are the only NCAA champions from the past five years that are ranked. UCLA is one of the teams that should be on high alert come March. Their inconsistent play and controversies off the court have caused some issues, but the Bruins are finally starting to get back on track for the start of con-

HOCKEY From Page 1 “Their power play was what killed us the last time we played,” Bergeron said. “But I thought our guys played great tonight. Our forwards didn’t skate themselves out of position and our defense did a good job containing down below the tops of the circles.” The penalty kill kept BG in the game during a period where much of the action was played on spe-

cial teams. “There were a few good blocked shots and [goalie Andrew] Hammond was great again,” Carpenter said.”We’ve been in that situation before so we just keep our composure. You can’t change the call, and we did our best to kill it.” For the first two periods, both goalies were firmly in control of the game. Johnson stopped 19 of 21 shots through two periods of play, before surrendering two goals on 10 shots in the

third period. Hammond stopped 15 of 16 shots through two periods. He stopped 20 of 22 shots for the game. Notre Dame got on the board first with just more than three minutes to go in the first period. On an odd-man rush, T.J. Tynan fed a pass to Bryan Rust, who tipped it past Hammond. Five minutes after Carpenter gave BG a twogoal lead, Tynan cut the lead back to one with a one-

Instead, the Falcons responded almost instantly, with Bryce Williamson scoring his team-leading seventh goal 35 seconds later. “That ‘here we go again’ [feeling] may show its head again, but it didn’t tonight,” Bergeron said. “I think that’s behind us.” The Falcons are 4-0-1 in their past five games, bringing them to a tie with

RUGBY PLAYERS from BG (right) and Miami University (left) in a scrum — rugby’s most distinctive formation.

Rugby all started in a scrum

By Nicholas Vanderpool Reporter

The sport of rugby is often compared to American football, but it continues to be unfamiliar and overlooked by citizens in the United States. Rugby sta r ted in t he Midlands of England in 1823. The English sport could have been the reason for t he evolut ion of the various t y pes of footba ll. Today, we have soccer and American football. Also, Gaelic football is played in Ireland, and Australian Rules football is based of Gaelic football. The first football game appeared to be between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869. It is identified as the first footba ll game, but it was had more characteristics of rugby because of t he lack of football’s distinctive features.. It had no line of

scrimmage or a for ward pass, which were added to gridiron football nearly 30 years later. Rugby consists of 15 players on each side of the ball, consisting of eight forwards and seven backs. The object of the game is similar to football, as a team is trying to outmaneuver its opponent by passing, kicking or running with the ball. The most distinctive difference between the two is the scrum. A scrum occurs when a team is guilty of a minor infraction. An infraction can be anything from a player knocking the ball forward with his or her hands to a stalled play due to the ball being smothered in a pile up. After an infraction, the referee will ask for a scrum and both packs of forwards will bind together in a huddle. The scrumhalf is responsible for put-

ting the ball in between the two packs trying to heel the ball with their feet through the back of the scrum to be picked up by the scrum-half and passed to the backfield. To score in rugby, the player has to actually touch the ball to the ground, thus touchdown in football. Originally, no points were awarded for touchdowns. Instead, a team was rewarded an attempt to “try” and kick at the goal posts for points. Points were added to the try every few decades. It started as one point, then three, then four in 1972 and five points in the early 1990’s. “I am considered one of the ancient men in rugby because I started playing under the three points for a try rule,” said Director of Rugby, Roger Mazzarella. Mazzarella‘s legacy at BG is one of the reasons for its success.

The Falcons are considered one of the top ten rugby programs in the United States. Mazzarella took over as head coach in 1985 to lead the Falcons to four Midwest titles, 31 MidA merica n Conference titles, seven Ohio collegiate titles and 10 Michigan collegiate titles. The team was even featured in Sports Illustrated article on rugby during the tenure. Roger’s son, Tony, took over as head coach in the fall of 2008. He quickly compiled a record of 22631-4 with five MAC championships, three Midwest championships, and four national championship appearances. The Falcons will now turn their attention to the upcoming spring season after having already locked up a slot in the National Collegiate Rugby Championship.

Only two players in Jillian Ha lf hill and Chrissy Steffen scored their first points in the second half. Enter Ball State, the Cardinals are just 5-10 on the season but have shown promise with the start of MAC play. Ball State is 2-0 in the MAC with wins against East Division favorite Miami and Northern Illinois. The Cardinals are led in a number of categories by a group of underclassmen, which could be a reason for the slow start to the season. That, in addition to the fact that like BG, they are also getting used to a new person holding the coaching reigns. Coach Brady

Sallee is in his first year with Ball State, after spending eight seasons at Eastern Illinois. Leading the way for Sallee is freshman guard Natalie Fontaine, who averages 13.3 points per game. Junior guard Brandy Wood also averages in double figures at 10.7 points per game. Coach Sallee has a well rounded line-up that has gotten better as the season has progressed. In fact, since midDecember, the team has been a lot more competitive. In their past two losses before the start of MAC play, Ball State lost those games by a margin of four points per game. Increased competitiveness, in addition to winning two in a row in the conference may make for a good game on Wednesday night. The game will be the last of BG’s five-game home stand. In that stretch, the Falcons are 2-2 and they are currently 6-3 at the Stroh.

else for the matter, is cell phones. Studies show that our cell phones, objects that we hold up to our heads and in our hands, are oftentimes dirtier than a toilet seat. In the day and age of everyone having some type of handheld device, it’s still not recognized that these stables of our everyday life can harbor the germs that make us sick. For those using a smartphone, a

microfiber cloth will do the job, along with getting rid of any fingerprint smudges. For those who are still using older phones, there are different ways of cleaning phones, along with keyboards and tablets. Let’s keep the University healthy, my fellow Falcons!
