Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity hosted a Goodwill Formal Sunday night to gain money and clothing donations for Goodwill. In addition to clothing donations, the event raised a total of $20 and 42 people attended.

“I think it went really really well,” said junior Brandii Halliburton, who was in charge of planning the event and also a regional delegate in the fraternity. “I think we had a really good turnout, we had a lot more people come than in previous years ... they brought a lot of clothes.”

Sophomore Sheridan Norfolk heard about the Goodwill Formal from Halliburton, who is her roommate.

“It’s been really cool because I’ve never been to one of the fraternity events,” Norfolk said.

The event took place from 6-10 p.m. in Olscamp 101. To gain entrance to the event, attendants were required to either donate an item to Goodwill or $3. Norfolk brought some shirts and pants to get into the event.

The formal dance featured DJs from WFAL radio, appetizers provided by University Dining

Services and a chance to dance, Halliburton said.

The formal has been going on for approximately nine years and col-lected more donations for Goodwill this year than last year, Halliburton said.

Junior Sara Bennett and her fiance, junior Michael Boron, heard about the event from their friend Becca Hill, a sophomore and member of the fraternity.

Bennett donated three shirts she couldn’t wear anymore to gain entrance to the event.

Hill, who is the communications and technology chair for Phi Sigma Pi, invited several of her friends, pub-licized the event on Facebook and even sent out an email through the college of education encouraging people to come.

New fundraising efforts brought in more than $200,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network, breaking a record for the highest total raised through Dance Marathon.

The total of $217,785.92 will help to provide medical services to ill or injured chil-dren at the Mercy Children’s Hospital in Toledo through the Children’s Miracle Network.

To wrap up the event Sunday

night, the number was revealed on stage by children in the Miracle Network Families at the Student Recreation Center.

Miracle Children are chosen from Mercy Children’s Hospital to represent the children that benefit from the funding.

Senior Mary Scott Clark said it was a proud moment to break $200,000 for the first time in Dance Marathon his-tory. This year’s event brought

in $65,666.31 more than last year. Clark, the director of internal affairs for Dance Marathon, said the new fundraising efforts were worth the work to reach this goal they had set in the beginning planning stages.

“Really we just tried new things,” she said. “This year was just extraordinary.”

The new fundraising efforts included a telethon, $5 massages, $15 minute sit down breaks and a push for donations through social networking.

Senior Megan Thomas said she gave phone num-bers of friends and fam-ily to call and raise money through the telethon. She said she was also happy to see the other efforts made to raise money, especially the foot massages by the moral-ers for the dancers.

Thomas participated as a dancer this year and last year and said she doesn’t mind spending the weekend on her feet for the children that Dance Marathon helps.

“For us to do 32 hours,

it’s not a big deal, because what they go through is an everyday thing for them,” she said.

Thomas stayed until 8:30 a.m. Sunday before taking a break. Even though she was exhausted, she came back to support her Kappa Phi sisters and see the final total, she said.

“It’s a test of determina-tion, will and desire,” she said. “After doing it once, it makes you feel like a bet-ter person.”

Senior Leslie Johns has been involved with Dance Marathon for four years and said she has dedicated much of her senior year to the event as the assistant direc-tor of financial affairs.

“I’ve given up a lot of things for this,” she said. “All of this was worth it.”

Johns said online fund-raising doubled in compari-son to last year. Twitter and Facebook were used to set up personal fundraising pages where anyone could make a simple click to donate.

On top of earning more than $200,000, Johns said she thought Miracle Families really connected with the dancers and moralers.

“They were really involved on the main floor of the event,” she said. “I saw the kids taking pictures and playing games with dancers and moralers.”

Clark said the Miracle Families really seemed to appreciate the event.

“They know that they’re loved,” she said. “Their chil-dren are loved as soon as they walk in the doors.”

Clark said this event is moving in the right direc-tion and is making an amaz-ing cause a large part of the University community.

“We’re making some great changes that are working,” she said.

Freshmen Jennifer Digangi and Kaitlyn Pukansky danced the 32 hours for the first time. They said they were proud to make it through the entire weekend.

Digangi said that although she couldn’t wait to sit down and rest, she was excited to support the children and proud to have stayed dedicated to danc-ing for 32 hours.

“It was hard, but we stayed the whole time and lost our voices when we yelled and moralled,” Pukansky said.

SANAA, Yemen — Thousands of women calling for the ouster of Yemen’s long-time ruler were attacked on Sunday by police with sticks and rocks, setting off a furi-ous battle with male protest-ers that left several people

hurt, activists said.The women were march-

ing down a main street in the southern town of Taiz shout-ing “Peaceful! Peaceful!” when they were attacked, activist Ghazi al-Samei said.

Three of the young men suffered serious gunshot wounds when police opened fire, protester Bushra al-

Maqtari told The Associated Press by telephone. She said over 200 more suffered breathing problems caused by inhaling tear gas.

Army tanks and armored cars stopped other dem-onstrators from entering Taiz, the site of some of the largest and angriest pro-tests against President Ali

Abdullah Saleh’s rule.Protesters have been

camping out in main squares throughout Yemen for weeks, demanding Saleh immediately leave power after 30 years. The president has offered to resign by the year’s end and says leaving without a negotiated tran-sition, would lead to chaos.

On Saturday, opposition groups demanded he hand power to his vice president and set up committees to thrash out constitutional reform and elections.

The president’s spokes-man, Ahmed al-Sufi, said Sunday that the president is only “ready to discuss the peaceful handover of

power according to the constitution.”

Saleh’s top security official in Taiz, Abdullah Qiran, is accused by demonstrators of orchestrating some of the most brutal crackdowns against demonstrators, par-ticularly in the southern port town of Aden, where he was previously stationed.

Journalism profession in danger

It happens to every profes-sor on every campus two or three times a week.

He or she walks into the classroom or lecture hall, unpacks the textbook and other teaching aids, boots up the audio-visual system, and looks across the desk or lec-tern at young faces display-ing various degrees of inter-est in what is to follow.

A few students are intense-ly interested in what is to be discussed, a few show a dis-interest that would be seen in watching grass grow, and the vast majority lie somewhere in between.

This is to be expected. Depending on the class, some (if not most) may be attending because the class is a requirement for their degree. The content matter is as far from their field of inter-est as the earth is from the moon, and they look forward to the proceedings with all the enthusiasm of one facing a root canal procedure.

This is not a rant about the poor quality of today’s students in comparison with their predecessors, nor is it about the “dumbing down” of the curriculum or stan-dards (although there is evi-dence for this).

What I’ve noticed is that, in general, students have most everything they want, but little of what they need in order to face the demands of college and the working career that is to follow.

Certainly, there’s no lack of e-toys, such as cell phones, iPads, iPods, lap-tops, or BlackBerry devices. But these are merely assists – crutches, if you will – in the effort to comprehend and evaluate new material. Most students are well nourished, well clothed and well housed,

so the fundamentals of life are furnished.

So, what do they need?For some, a sense of duty

and responsibility. Far too many exhibit a sense of dis-appointment when they dis-cover that the course content is neither fun nor amusing, and the instructor’s per-sonality seems to follow suit. Many haven’t grasped the concept that university work is a full-time job. As in any job, there will be por-tions that are not much fun and supervisors who share the same trait. (Guess why it’s called “work.” We’re not asked to like it; we’re merely asked to do it.).

In addition, some seem to lack the basic skills relating to literacy and numeracy. In short, some are completely lost when confronted with a math problem and no calcu-lator on which to rely. Some are equally ill-equipped when confronted with the task of constructing a cogent English sentence.

Today’s social environ-ment seems to aid and abet the latter problem. With the advent of texting and email, our language has added yet a third “dialect” to the previ-ous two of spoken and writ-ten English, and some users can’t discern when it’s not appropriate to use it.

Quite often, I get emails that resemble the follow-ing: “hey, just wanted to tell you that ill be absent from class today cause I’ve got a doctors apt.”

When I respond, I’ll cor-rect the spelling, punctua-tion and grammar in red and include the correc-tions as part of my reply. Someone has to; evidently, they never learned it in their prior educational experi-ences. Part of the job of an instructor is to instruct.

On the positive side, some students are aware of their problems and deficiencies and want to correct them.

These students are a profes-sor’s joy. I’m elated when a student sits in my office and queries me about footnote 14 on page 53. This tells me that he or she is engaged and (in my parlance) is “wrestling with the dragon.”

On the first day of class, I notify the students that I’m not an entertainer and that the problems they will face will not be due to me, but will be due to their difficul-ty in mastering the course content. I will help them, but they must do the learning. I give no grades: they earn them. In short, I try and con-vey to them a sense of the personal responsibility that will be required to succeed in this course – and by exten-sion, in life.

Another positive note on today’s students: in general, they seem to be willing to listen to both sides of an issue, unlike past genera-tions. This bodes well in developing that most pre-cious gift: critical thinking. Long may it continue.

University work can be dif-ficult. In addition, many stu-dents have work schedules, and some have personal issues that require profes-sional help. I keep the phone number of the University Counseling Center handy. The feedback I get from students who have availed themselves of the Counseling Center has been universally positive. The Counseling Office is truly a treasure on our campus.

Like everyone, students are under pressure to pro-duce and to succeed. Some have all the tools needed for the challenge; some lack the required skills and attitudes. Knowledge and skills can be taught; atti-tudes must be learned.

I have noticed a trend of arrogance among two types of people: people who are experts on a single topic and people whose appearance are against the social norm. This trend has increased since I came to college.

To paint a vivid picture, imagine a guitar player sitting outside the Bowen-Thompson Student Union. He is playing a beautiful song and you want to get closer to watch.

However, as you approach, he stops and says “What? You can’t play the guitar?” He then scoffs at you and walks away with his nose in the air. Instead of welcoming you as a member of his audience, he belittles and demoralizes you.

Recently, I’ve had some-body fulfill the pompous, know-it-all, comic book geek stereotype by insulting my knowledge about a particular show. If you possessed knowl-edge of something that you found interesting, wouldn’t you be more open minded to share what you know? I wouldn’t have viewed this guy as arrogant if he would have explained the story to me instead of making fun of me.

In terms of the guitar player, the best case scenario would be for him to ask you if you

wanted to try playing and then he would teach you a G-chord or something. However, a simple smile would suf-fice; anything is better than a demoralizing display of pre-tentious attitude.

Last year, I used to dress up like a vampire and walk around campus. My friends deemed that day of the week

“Vampire Thursdays.” You can only imagine the nega-tive feedback I received from this, but when people would talk to me, I would act friendly. I wouldn’t say “Look at you, foolish mortal. I will drain your blood.”

And because I did not belittle the people who talk-ed to me, and I explained to them my “vampyric get-up,” they realized that I was actu-ally a completely reasonable human being even though I dressed in a different fashion.

Since then, “Vampire Thursdays” have ended, but I decided to try an experiment at a Vacation Bible School this past summer. On the first day of the week-long event, I dressed up in a very counter-culture manner. I straightened my hair and wore eyeliner, lip rings and dark clothes.

At first, the kids wouldn’t come near me, likely because of a negative expe-rience with someone who dressed similarly. But then, I picked up a guitar and start-ed playing with the praise band and the kids began to see me as less threatening.

As the week progressed, I

dressed the same, but the kids were more than will-ing to talk to me, and they wanted me to teach them how to play guitar.

I did this to see if I could dash the stereotype of the

“anti-social goth kid.” Instead of ignoring the kids, I was humble and let them learn to accept a different lifestyle. I didn’t act like I was better than them because I was different. I did it so they would know one person who looks “scary,” and not think of other “scary”-looking people as being bad.

Essentially, I was sub-consciously teaching these third graders to give every-one a chance as a friend. Even if they look a little different, as long as they’re not making fun of you, they could be a cool person.

If you have a particular tal-ent, don’t look down on the people that may look up to you. Be friendly and welcome their interest.

Suppose you dress in a fash-ion that differs from the social norm, so don’t look at other people like they’re weird. Let others analyze your appear-ance, and you can explain why you’re different.

Who knows, you may influ-ence someone to develop their own creative style because you were so positive with yours.

By Kelly Hotard, The Daily Reveille (Louisiana State

University)College News Network

When you think credible jour-nalism, does the Huffington Post come to mind?

Probably not. A notori-ously opinionated blog and aggressive aggregator isn’t taken too seriously in the news business.

Journalism faces an iden-tity crisis as the very defini-tion of “journalist” is debat-ed. Ironically, the Huffington Post is answering this ques-tion more assertively than many peer institutions.

HuffPost merged with AOL two months ago today, mak-ing Arianna Huffington the new media group’s presi-dent and editor-in-chief. She insisted both firms must pro-fessionalize their amateur-ish cultures and promptly

dismissed 200 freelancers to make room for staff report-ers at AOL, which will also slash 30 blogs.

But for many of HuffPost’s 9,000 unpaid blog contribu-tors, the $315 million deal produced tantalizing visions of pay schedules. When they realized their status wouldn’t change, immense backlash ensued.

Do the terms “#HuffPuff” or “Visual Art Source” mean anything to you?

They weren’t significant to Huffington, but both embody blogosphere protests against her site. The former is “citi-zen journalism” advocate AdBusters Magazine’s witty Twitter alternative to corpo-rate media. The latter pub-lication sparked an official

“bloggers’ boycott,” demand-ing paychecks and an edito-rial overhaul.

A nd t hen nat iona l communication workers union The Newspaper Guild got involved.

TNG requested a meet-ing with HuffPost’s head honchos. It received spokes-person Mario Ruiz’s pub-lished “distinction between our newsroom staffers and our group bloggers — most of whom are not profes-sional writers but come from all walks of life, from officeholders, students, and professionals to professors, entertainers, activists and heads of nonprofits.”

At the new mega-media company’s staff meeting, Huffington herself demar-cated the blogging-journal-ism disparities: “Blogging is ... people expressing their views,” whereas jour-nalism is professional and, by definition, paid.

1 killed, 1 hurt falling out of tour bus in Mass.

SHIRLEY, Mass. (AP) — One man was killed and another injured when the two fell out of a bathroom window of a tour bus in Massachusetts that was coming from a brewery in New Hampshire, Massachusetts State Police said Sunday.

Police said Thomas Johnson, 31, of Gardner, was killed when he fell Saturday night onto Route 2 in Shirley. Seth Davis, 34, of Winchendon was in fair condition at a Worcester hospital, a nursing supervisor said Sunday.

The Colonial Tours bus was heading back to Gardner in cen-tral Massachusetts from the Red Hook Brewery in Portsmouth, N.H. The bus company and brewery did not immediately return calls Sunday.

Boy dies after fall from Chicago roller coaster

NORRIDGE, Ill. (AP) — A 3-year-old boy died Saturday after falling out of a roller coaster at a suburban Chicago amusement park, police said.

The boy was sitting near the front of the Python Pit roller coaster at the Go Bananas amusement park when he got underneath the ride’s safety bar, Norridge Police Chief James Jobe said. He suffered head inju-ries in what Jobe described as “a tragic accident.”

The boy was on the ride with his twin brother when he fell out of the coaster while it was mov-ing, Jobe said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office said the boy died at the park. Police said a state inspector was at the scene.

More than 300 homes evacuated in Colorado wildfire

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say strong winds have fueled a wildfire west of Fort Collins and forced the evacuation of more than 300 homes.

The blaze has already destroyed an outbuilding, a motorcycle and an all-terrain vehicle, but no injuries have been reported.

Larimer County Sheriff ’s spokesman John Schulz tells The Associated Press early Sunday that about 335 homes had been ordered evacuated in three areas: south of Buckhorn Canyon, east of Crystal Mountain Road, and around Redstone Canyon.

The rugged, hilly area is located about 15 miles west of Fort Collins.

Police: Duke lacrosse accuser stabbed boyfriend

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say the woman who falsely claimed she was raped by Duke lacrosse players has been accused of stabbing her boyfriend in the chest at a North Carolina home.

Durham police say 32-year-old Crystal Mangum was arrested Sunday morning several hours after the stabbing that seriously injured her 46-year-old boyfriend.

Investigators said the two were arguing but didn’t release any other details.

Mangum is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. She is being held without bond, and jail officials did not know if she had an attorney.

Children injured after bounce house goes airborne

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities in southern Arizona say a boy and a girl were seriously injured after strong wind lifted the children’s bounce house they were in and depos-ited it on a road.

Trish Tracy of the Tucson fire department told KNXV-TV the play house was blown across three lanes of traffic and landed on a median Saturday.

Tracy says the children suf-fered serious but non-life threat-ening injuries.

The National Weather Service said the incident was caused by a weather phenomenon known as a dust devil, in which a column of air can rotate up to 60 mph.

4 dead in crash of small plane at NM airport

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Four Gulfstream employees were killed Saturday in a fiery crash of a test twin-engine luxury business air-craft at an airport, authorities said.

Officials with the Savannah, Ga.-based plane company con-firmed that two Gulfstream pilots and two flight-test engineers died in the crash. Their names and other background information weren’t immediately released.

The company said in a state-ment that the Gulfstream G650 was doing takeoff-performance tests at Roswell International Air Center at the time of the crash.

Lynn Lunsford, a spokes-man for the Federal Aviation Administration, said the plane had just taken off when it rolled and slammed into the runway. He said the plane’s gear collapsed and the craft burst into flames.

GOP 2012 budget to cut $4 trillion-plusBy Douglass K. Daniel

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Republican plan for the 2012 budget would cut more than $4 trillion over the next decade, more than even the president’s debt commission proposed, with spending caps as well as changes in the Medicare and Medicaid health programs, its principal author said Sunday.

The spending blueprint from Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, is to be released Tuesday. It deals with the budget year that begins Oct. 1, not the current one that is the subject of negotiations aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown Friday.

In an interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Ryan said

budget writers are working out the 2012 numbers with the Congressional Budget Office, but he said the overall spending reductions would come to “a lot more” than $4 trillion. The debt commis-sion appointed by President Barack Obama recommend-ed a plan that it said would achieve nearly $4 trillion in deficit reduction.

Ryan said Obama’s call for freezing nondefense dis-cretionary spending actually locks in spending at high lev-els. Under the forthcoming GOP plan, Ryan said spend-ing would return to 2008 lev-els and thus cut an additional $400 billion over 10 years.

Speaking broadly about the proposal, Ryan said it would include:

—A “premium support system” for Medicare. In the

future, older people would choose plans in the market-place and the government would subsidize those plans. Ryan said that would dif-fer from the voucher system he has proposed in the past. Those 55 and older would remain under the present Medicare system.

Ryan acknowledged that the “premium support sys-tem” would shift more costs to Medicare recipients, espe-cially what he called “wealthy seniors.” He did not define at what level someone would be considered wealthy.

—Block grants to states for Medicaid, the health program for the poor. Ryan disputed reports that the plan would seek savings of $1 trillion over 10 years from Medicaid, but would say only that the details would be in the plan.

“Medicare and Medicaid spending will go up every single year under our budget. They don’t just go up as much as they’re going right now,” he said. Ryan said governors have told members of Congress they want “the freedom to customize our Medicaid pro-grams. ... We want to get gov-ernors freedom to do that.”

—A statutory cap on actual discretionary spending as a percentage of the economy. While Ryan did not specify the amount during the inter-view, he said it would be at a lower level than proposed by Obama and would return the government to its “his-toric size.”

—Pro-growth tax changes, including lower tax rates and broadening the tax base. Ryan said overhauling taxes would boost the economy.

Monday, April 4, 2011 6SPORTSFillmore, Christman end

season in NCAA RegionalsBy Becky TenerSenior Reporter

Winning the NCAA Regional Championships was never the goal for gymnasts Kasey Fillmore and Dawn Christman — their goal was to make the most of the experience.

“This season was diff icult … so to be able to send ath-letes to regionals, it was such a great way to finish the sea-son,” said coach Kerrie Beach.

“It may have not ended the way [Fillmore and Christman] wanted, but to them it was an unbelievable experience.”

Fillmore finished 21st in the all-around with a 37.325. Christman

finished 40th with a 9.050.Beach said both athletes

struggled on the f loor exercise. Christman, a sophomore who is typically consistent on f loor, fell on her final tumbling pass. She was the final athlete to per-form on f loor.

Beach said waiting for the whole meet to perform took a toll on the gymnast.

“I think that it showed Dawn ... that it’s a different environment to come to this big stage without your team to cheer you on,” she said. “Now, it’s her job to motivate them to get there as a whole.”

Fillmore, a senior, performed for the last time as a Falcon. Beach said

she was proud to see Fillmore get the opportunity to perform at regionals.

STEPPING UP: Wide receiver Shaun Joplin runs routes prior to last year’s spring game.

Offensive line, Joplin shines in first scrimmage of spring

By Paul BarneySports Editor

Full speed, no script – just how it should be.

On Saturday the BG football team kicked off its first scrim-mage of the spring as if it was a real game.

“In a scrimmage we don’t script anything,” said Falcons’ coach Dave Clawson. “The mindset in scrimmages is ‘let them play.’ They have to correct their own mistakes [and] they have to communicate with each other. It’s as game-like as we can make it.”

The team ran about 20 to 25 more reps than it typically does in a first scrimmage, but because the Falcons are young, more reps is what Clawson wants.

“They have to be put in as many situations,” Clawson said. “We’ve got some very talented young men that just need to play, and all this experience is going to benefit us next season.”

The third-year coach was happy with the offensive line, which

“looked like a cohesive unit” as it communicated well and the play-ers were on the same page.

BG struggled on the offensive line last season as the Falcons were last in the Mid-American Conference in rushing offense and second-to-last in total offense.

Clawson said the communica-tion of the offensive line was great in the scrimmage, which allowed the running game to develop.

“We ran the ball well,” Clawson said. “I really thought our running backs, especially John Pettigrew, really had some great cuts and they were getting the ball north and south. At times I thought the O-line protected well too. We took a major step forward on the offen-sive line today.”

The protection up front also opened up a pocket for quarter-backs Matt Schilz and Trent Hurley to step into.

The two looked steady in the pocket and made accurate throws, including to wide receiver Shaun Joplin, who’s fighting for playing time this season after playing in just two games last season.

THROW TO FIRST: Falcons’ third baseman Frank Berry throws to first base during BG’s 13-11 loss to Eastern Michigan on Friday at Steller Field.

Eastern Michigan wins twice despite BG’s offensive surge

By Paul BarneySports Editor

They combined for 28 runs on 35 hits, but as alive as the offense has been all season, the Falcons would have traded it for a series win.

The BG baseball team dropped two of three games to Eastern Michigan this weekend, a three-game series that saw two bottom of the ninth rallies fall short as the Falcons dropped to 9-13 on the season and 3-3 in the Mid-American Conference.

BG scored six runs in the bottom ninth in the series opener Friday, but could not overcome a pair of four-run innings and a rough out-ing from starting pitcher Cody Apthorpe He dropped to 2-3 on the mound after allowing six runs on nine hits in 2.1 innings as the Falcons lost 13-11.

“We made too many mistakes early, I didn’t think Cody threw the ball particularly well today,” said

BG coach Danny Schmitz. “I’ll give Eastern credit, they swung the bats very well.”

BG’s late rally Friday gave it momentum in the second game. However, the offense picked up where it left off by putting 13 runs on the board while a 20-minute rain delay and high winds slammed Steller Field on Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles’ Ben Magsig hit a two-run home run to right-center field to give EMU a 3-2 lead in the fourth with the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning,

Frank Berry delivered a two-run hit to right to give the Falcons a 4-3 advantage, a lead they almost let slip but never relinquished.

A 4-3 game quickly turned into 7-3 as Andrew Kubuski hit a three-run home run to right field, and the BG bats took off from there.

After a Ryan Schlater two-run double in the sixth inning to give the Falcons a 9-5 lead, Jon Berti deliv-

ered the knockout punch in the next inning as his three-run double gave pitcher Ross Gerdeman all the insur-ance he needed as he shut down EMU’s bats for one hit in 3.2 innings in relief of starter Nick Bruns.

“Ross Gerdeman did a fantastic job for us,” Schmitz said. “He did exactly what we needed him to do. He’s been solid the whole year and that was huge for us.”

BG had 12 hits in the game, the second time in as many days it had 12 hits or more in a game and the second straight game it had scored double-digit runs

“We knew after that late-inning rally we had on Friday that we gained some momentum back,” said Berti, who scored two runs and had three RBIs. “We’ve been looking for something like that for awhile now for our bats to get around. To put up 13 runs ... that’s a

Senior Barbara Powers broke the record in the 2,000 meter steeplechase as the Falcon track and field team posted a score of 134.5 points to finish third at the Sixth Annual Toledo Collegiate Challenge on Saturday on the campus of the University of Toledo.

Powers won the event as her time of 7:04.96 was a 20-second improvement over her time at the Northwest Ohio

Falcons scored in 17 of them. BG won four events and totaled 18 top-five finishes.

Led by Jessie Rowlands’ 24 points, BG had 21 different scorers, including Powers, whose record-breaking run was one of 32 different personal records set during the meet.

Eight teams were in the field, and the Falcons finished ahead of Central Michigan by 11.5 points and Toledo by 44.5 points. Eastern Michigan (164) and Buffalo (150.5) finished first and second, respectively.

Next for BG is the Ohio Invitational in Athens, Ohio, on Saturday.

Falcon bats silenced as Kent State, Buffalo earn sweeps

By Bryan FilipponiReporter

With a strong outing last Wednesday against the No.3 ranked Michigan Wolverines, the BG softball team looked to carry that momentum against Kent State and Buffalo.

Unfortunately, the two doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday didn’t go the way the Falcons planned.

Friday’s doubleheader against Kent State marked the beginning of the Falcons’ Mid-American Conference play.

BG struggled in the first game, scoring just one run off five hits in a 10-1 loss. In the second game of the dou-bleheader the Falcons found themselves down 2-0 early.

But the team showed resilience, battling back to tie the contest up 2-2 in the third inning but gave up the game-winning run in the fifth with two outs.

The doubleheader Saturday was originally scheduled to be separate games played on Saturday and Sunday.

Battling Buffalo and the weather, the Falcons looked to break even in the MAC However, BG struggled to pro-duce any runs against Buffalo in both contests.

In the first game, both teams held each other to a scoreless defensive stale-mate, including a no-hit-ter by Zada Lines through the first four innings. Controversy began in the top of the fifth inning when it wasn’t halted with rain coming down moderately.

Both games of the dou-bleheader were stopped on multiple occasions due to the weather. The Bulls were able to score all three runs in the fifth, breaking the game open.

The non-stoppage of the game wasn’t the only incident that caused debate.

The Falcons attempted a comeback in the fifth inning with Melissa West on second.

The controversy came when West was running to third base during a single. Buffalo shortstop Sammi Gallardo

BYRON MACK | THE BG NEWSSAFE: BG’s Andrea Arney slides safely into home plate to score the Falcons’ lone run in Friday’s first game against Kent State.

“Shaun Joplin looked great, he really made some good plays,” Clawson said. “Now that he’s starting to learn the offense and he doesn’t have to think so much, he’s just playing so much faster. He’s always been athletic, he’s always had good skills, but now he’s learning more and more what he’s sup-posed to do.”

While Kamar Jorden, Adrian Hodges and Eugene Cooper are the number one, two and three receivers right now according to Clawson, Joplin is starting to press for the fourth spot.

Joplin said he always gets advice from the older receiv-ers and knows how impor-

tant it is to make plays when he gets the opportunity.

“It’s always important to do my best, have the coaches see what I can do and just try and get as many reps in as possible,” Joplin said.

This spring Joplin said he is working on running his routes better, getting faster and getting stronger in the weight room.

FOOTBALL From Page 6

seemingly found herself in the baseline, West ran into Gallardo and was held up instead of having a free run. West was waved home from third and possibly would’ve been able to score if she hadn’t been delayed by Gallardo.

With the delay, West was thrown out at home. The momentum was drained from BG after the fifth and the Falcons lost the game 3-0.

In the second game, the

Falcons’ errors in the field proved to be their downfall. The team had five errors, which accounted for eight of the Bulls’ nine runs.

That, combined with BG’s inability to convert on scor-ing opportunities, caused the Falcons’ record to fall to 4-17 overall (0-4 MAC).

The Falcons start back up on Friday in another dou-bleheader against Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti, Mich.

good day for us.”Both offenses in the

series finale cooled down Sunday as another ninth inning rally fell short for the Falcons in a 5-4 loss.

BG scored two runs in the final inning before loading the bases with two outs, but Eagles’ pitcher

Kristian Calibuso got Matthew Pitzulo to fly out to left field to win the game and the series.

Pitcher Charles Wooten started the game and allowed three runs on five hits in 4.2 innings pitched as his record on the mound dropped to 1-4.
