LUCK OF THE IRISH: Windows in front of Kreisher Compton Darrow help students get in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day good for more than green beer By Ryan Sullivan Reporter
St. Patrick’s Day is almost upon us and the annual supply of green beer is getting ready to be served in bars all around Bowling Green and the rest of the country. The day, traditionally reserved for wild parties and mass alcohol consumption, is one of the largest days to celebrate Irish heritage in America. Father Michael Dandurand of St. Thomas More Church said for the first time since 1940 the St. Patrick’s Day feast was moved up on the calendar by the Pope and will be celebrated today by their church. The date was moved up because March 17 occurs on Holy Week, he said. “The focus of the entire week is Christ’s passion,” Dandurand said. “As awesome as St. Patrick is, it would have distracted from Christ’s passion.” Christ’s passion, according to Catholic beliefs, is Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection, he said. St. Patrick was born around 400 somewhere in Scotland, England or Wales and was kidnapped during his teens and forced to work as a slave in Ireland. After his escape six years later, he traveled back to Britain at 22 and became a bishop at age 43. Dandurand excused the story of St. Patrick “driving the snakes from Ireland” as a myth. He said what St. Patrick did was make it his goal to convert the people of Ireland to Christianity. During the early to mid 20th century, St. Patrick’s Day came to be associated with drinking, and during the 1990s Ireland started

to market the day around Irish pride and heritage. Although the UAO and the Union aren’t doing anything to celebrate the holiday, there are plenty of restaurants and bars around campus that are having their own St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Kegs and Eggs will be taking place at several establishments around town on Monday for those who want to get up early to have a drink with their breakfast. The restaurant Fricker’s, on East Wooster Street, will be opening at 6 a.m. Monday for a free breakfast buffet, manager Delilaa Abbott said. “It is the first time doing this in many years so we don’t know how many people to expect,” Abbott said. She said there will be a radio station broadcasting from the restaurant and the buffet will go on until 10 a.m. University Police Chief Jim Wiegand said the city and campus police are both ready for whatever may come on St. Patrick’s Day but neither group is adding any staff for the day, saying he believes the staff they have is going to be enough to handle any problems that may occur.

Before any use of the logo, the artwork must first be approved by both the Licensing Resource Group and Brian Delehoy, the director of Marketing and Promotions for Athletics at the University. The licensing aspect generates a lot of money, Delehoy said. The largest portion coming from athletics in the form of royalties. Royalties for using licenses garner between $140,000 and $150,000 annually, he said. With that much money
being generated from licensing, the University wants to ensure that a clear and precise message comes across when individuals see any symbol meant to represent the University, said Jeff Artz, the creative director for the Office of Marketing and Communication. “Logo transitions are common and they are needed across the board with any organization,” Delehoy said. When changes do occur, the hope is for attention to be drawn to the University.

Addition of left-turn lane to improve safety of roads By Adam Louis Reporter
The city’s plan to make the roads a little safer is about to be realized. To solve previous safety issues and help make traffic flow more efficiently, the city plans to create a center, two-way left-turn lane on the 1.1-mile stretch of North Main Street between the south end of Dill Avenue and Newton Road. “This project has been on the books for seven to 10 years,” city engineer Brian O’Connell said. “We have to get moving on this.” In the past years, there have been many rear-end and front-to-side crashes in part due to a lack of a turning lane, O’Connell said. According to the city’s Police Department’s 2007 Crash Analysis Report, 5.01 percent of 1,232 crashes occurred along in the identified stretch of road. “It’s one of our highest crash areas due to the volume of traffic,” Administrative Lieutenant Tony Hetrick said. The city made similar changes to Wooster Street
five years ago for many of the same reasons, O’Connell said. They will expand the road on each side and will leave one lane going each direction open throughout construction, Assistant Municipal Administrator Lori Tretter said. This will allow access to businesses along the stretch of North Main Street during the expansion. The expansion, priced at $7.3 million, is partially funded by the Toledo Metropolitan Area

GENEVA — The top U.S. nuclear negotiator on North Korea said the two sides made progress in their stalled nuclear talks yesterday but were still short of an agreement. Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Christopher Hill told reporters that the talks in Geneva were probably the most substantive that Washington has had with North Korea
since problems developed in December over disarming Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program. “We certainly are further along in this consultation than we were when I arrived this morning,” Hill said. “There has been progress.” “We’re going to report to capitals and see where we are tomorrow and the next day,” Hill said after meetings with North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan.

DAKAR, Senegal — The presidents of Sudan and Chad have signed a peace deal aimed at preventing armed groups operating along their shared borders from destabilizing the region. The deal, signed late yesterday by Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir and Chad’s Idriss Deby, commits both nations to implement past accords that have so far failed to help end violence in the area. If successful, the deal would only be a small step toward ending violence in Sudan’s Darfur region.

Governor may slip through legal loopholes By Larry Neumeister and Delvin Barrett The Associated Press
NEW YORK — As Gov. Eliot Spitzer prepares to leave office, the disgraced politician faces a tangled battle with prosecutors that will send lawyers into murky legal territory. A law enforcement official said Spitzer’s high-powered defense team was believed to be negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors over his connection to a high-end prostitution ring, but attorneys were not commenting yesterday about the discussions. The legal battle occurred as Lt. Gov. David Paterson prepared to take over the state following Spitzer’s spectacular fall from power. Paterson said he spoke to Spitzer yesterday and “told him how sorry I was this happened.” “I promised the governor yesterday that I would commit myself to the people of this great state, that we would have stability and continue in these challenges that lie ahead,” Paterson said yestreday. “Now we have to get New York back on track.” Paterson takes over on Monday, and will become New York’s first black governor and the nation’s first legally blind chief executive. Spitzer, a married father of three teenage girls, faces a much more dubious future after he was accused of spending tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes — including a tryst with a 22-year-old call girl in Washington the night before Valentine’s Day. Officials said Spitzer initially drew the attention of authorities with suspicious money transfers that will be a key part of any possible criminal case. Among the possible charges that could be brought against Spitzer: soliciting and paying for sex; violating the Mann Act,
“I think it would be outrageous if they went after him any further on this.” Edward Little | Prosecutor’s Office the 1910 federal law that makes it a crime to induce someone to cross state lines for immoral purposes; and illegally arranging cash transactions to conceal their purpose. But legal experts said bringing charges and getting a conviction would be unusual, considering federal authorities rarely charge the customers in illegal sex or drug cases. A likely outcome could be what is called a “deferred prosecution agreement,” which could leave Spitzer on probation with charges dropped if he did not get into any more trouble. Gerald Lefcourt, past president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, said criminal charges against Spitzer would be “stretching federal statutes to a place they’ve never been.” Edward J.M. Little, who worked in the public corruption unit of the Manhattan federal prosecutor’s office for eight years in the 1980s, said it would be “piling on” to bring charges now. “I think it would be outrageous if they went after him any further on this,” he said. “Solicitation cases are typically pled down to minor charges and just because he was governor doesn’t mean he should be treated any more harshly unless they impacted his duties as governor.” He added: “Even though I personally think it’s reprehensible, it doesn’t mean it’s criminal. He’s resigned which is probably the ultimate penalty in this case so we should let it be.”

As the University reaches its centennial birthday, a project is underway to provide better service to students, staff and faculty. Over the next 12 months students and staff will notice various new features to the MyBGSU Web portal, their user ID numbers, schedule of classes and more. Yesterday in an open-forum the director of the BG@100 Project, William Gerwin, gave a brief overview of the steps taken, present progress and future goals for a new system. This project started in February 2003 when the BG@100 office initiated a cross functional review of the administrative system, where they surveyed 257 people from the University who used the administration program on the Web. After reviewing the responses from the surveys, it was decided that a PeopleSoft product would be implemented at the University. In January 2004 the development of plans for creating Human Resources and Payroll started. PeopleSoft, according to the BG@100 Web site, is the company that makes the administrative software application which allows users to have one or more permission lists to one’s User ID. “This new technology will allow us to be up to date with our users,” Gerwin said. There are two PeopleSoft systems that work together. One is Human Capital Management, which is used to manage the University’s human resources, administration and payroll. The second is Financial Management Systems, which will replace the
“It’s kind of silly to have something like that not available...It will cater to a college student’s lifestyle as being up late.” Valerie Ziernicki | Senior Marketing Major current Advantage Financial to work with financial activity. “This is truly an interactive system,” Gerwin said. Currently, certain applications on the MyBGSU Web Portal are unavailable at later times in the evening, but the MyBGSU will be available around the clock with the new PeopleSoft system. Valerie Ziernicki, a senior majoring in marketing, said she remembers when she needed to check what time a class was at 11:30 p.m. and a message came up that said the service was unavailable. “It’s kind of silly to have something like that not available,” Ziernicki said. Students, staff and faculty members will notice some changes over the next 12 months. Currently, the committee for the project is doing some major testing on admissions, registration and billing. Next month “user acceptance” testing will begin, where the offices that will use the system sign off to see if the system is working properly. They will also be providing some initial training and presentations about the academic structure, such as the information on degrees and majors. Gerwin said they’re putting this information into the system first “so the systems knows what BGSU looks like.” Then they will compare and contrast the current and PeopleSoft systems.
After those two tests comes the stress test, to see whether the new system can handle the workload, such as multiple students checking their schedules on Blackboard. Gerwin recommends that both students and staff members attend the upcoming presentations in order to fully understand the project. Master Data Management Committee is who comes up with the ideas of the project. “[The committee] makes sure the university have in place what they need,” Gerwin said. Another change students will notice is their PIN number will no longer start with a “P” but a zero. Students will also notice how their address is seen on various systems for the University. The current system with multiple addresses such as home, business and mailing will all be converted into one address; the mailing address. “Once we go live with PeopleSoft there will be a gradual transition,” Gerwin said. The project is expected to be complete Dec. 31, 2009. There are about 38 people working on this project who have a lot of work put on their plate. “We’re in full throttle right now,” Gerwin said. Ziernicki said she believes the new system is a good idea. “It will cater to a college student’s lifestyle as being up late,” Ziernicki said.

Remembering the simple things ALLY BLANKARTZ COLUMNIST
I ask my loyal readers to take a moment with me to put aside the stresses of midterms and the impending end of the semester. I ask you to take the opportunity to join me in remembering the simple things in life. To dwell upon those moments of raw joy can at times be enough to improve a foul mood or lift the darkness from a difficult week. At times it’s the simplest of pleasures in our lives that can provide the most solicitous sense of joy and happiness. For some it is the most mundane of routines that if scrutinized to the finest of extent, yield a sense of deep comfort and security. For me, the mundane routine that culminates in a profound sense of ecstasy is making the journey home. Perhaps it the fact that I have been blessed with an indescribably loving family that makes this journey so relaxing. Nonetheless, I feel that everyone should be able to feel these raw and unrestrained feelings of joy and happiness when at their homestead. There are no mere words to describe the consolation and familiarity of home. The nostalgic sights, sounds and smells that encompass your being with relaxation and erase all cares from your mind. The proverbial road signs that can bring a tear to one’s eye once their color and shape grace your ocular perception. Those green metal beacons act as personal welcome, signaling your brain that you are within a mile of home. Each mile marker heralds your return to the home town. Those tired and true, worn down travel routes that bear your weary feet and forlorn mind to a place of sanctuary and repose. The tires of your vehicle wear down the pavement as the scenery swims past. The horsepower chomping at the bit as it races the other cars eagerly heading to desired destinations. The family whose arms are always affectionate and understanding, the eyes of the parent in which you can do

The wholly uplifting unconditional love that is experienced simply by placing one well traveled foot over that threshold. The atmosphere is forever inviting, never cold and haughty like the winds of this forsaken tundra. You feel invincible, as in if a safe haven when no person, situation or stressor can do you any wrong. The tantalizing thought of embarking on a journey towards your abode of solace can inspire moods to brighten and encourage mountainous days to evolve into naught but mere molehills. Cares and worries melt away by simply knowing that soon the loving arms of your mother will embrace you in a healing hug. The week vanishes and all your attention is drawn to your holy grail. That beautiful day, at week’s end, when the family car beckons to you in the driveway, much like a chariot beckons for a royal. You descend the stairs with a regal grace, bags in hand and head in the air with confidence that no other experience can endow you with. You see the twinkle of the sun on the aging paint job of the family vehicle. The door is open waiting for you and the trunk is prepared to bear the load of your luggage. The gleam of love in your father’s eye, knowing that mother anxiously awaits your victorious advent. Easing into your chariot, the cloth of the seat already begins to feel secure and safe, like the love worn fabric of a childhood blanket. The engine roars to life with excitement at your presence, the road is before you and home is in your sights. — Ally writes about mental health every Friday.

All the world’s a stage, so learn from it “Theater is a rare way that people can connect to emotions or events they may not otherwise understand.”
JESS HYLTON COLUMNIST
Theater, to the general public, is often thought of as a form of entertainment. Although this is true for certain productions, usually there is meaning beyond mere enjoyment. Some works of art may be historical and quite interesting to see, but the value is not usually seen as much more then that. Though for some theater is much more then just an activity, in general the artistic world is not recognized as an essential part of society. However, theater is one of the best ways in which to encourage change, incite emotion, promote a cause or to offer a new look at an issue. Theater is a rare way that people can connect to emotions or events they may not otherwise understand. It is a way that one can witness a live portrayal of a situation or circumstance. This portrayal brings to life issues that perhaps previously seemed unfamiliar or impersonal. Because theater has the
ability to reach people on a very personal level, it gives the opportunity to open one’s mind and to show them something they may otherwise not see. For instance, at times when we hear about issues that are going on in other parts of the world it is difficult to have a true understanding of what is really going on. In other words, we may hear about social issues that are going on daily, but it does not always seem real. Likewise there are certain lifestyles that people have, or certain areas in a person’s life, that we may be quite ignorant to. Whether it is a lack of understanding for one who suffers from addiction, to perhaps a mother’s love for her child, we are not always capable of feeling empathy. Because if we are not from the country or area that is suffering or if we have never struggled with an addiction or had a child etc., how are we to feel passionately about these situations and people?

TERRY STREETMAN | GUEST COLUMNIST I’d like to respond to some of the comments that have been made, both in The BG News and on its Web site, about the incredibly generous donation by Kermit and Mary Lu Stroh for the new Convocation Center. There are a lot of untrue statements being slung around by people who feel the money for the University’s new Convocation Center should be used otherwise, so let me set a few things straight, at least as far as I understand them. First, the University is not “funneling” donations into the Convocation Center. People who care about University athletics and what is basically the most widely recognizable face of a University are donating their money, by choice, specifically to that cause. It’s not some big, evil conspiracy by the University to downplay academics and focus on

This is when theater plays one of its greatest roles. A play or short skit can bring these issues right to the audiences “front door,” so to speak. The musical “Rent” by Jonathan Larson, gives (a rather extreme) inside look at the homosexual lifestyle, drug abuse, and HIV/AIDS. Another good example, “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, is a play that not only tells the story of an event (the Salem Witch Trials) that happened back during the time our country was being formed, but also depicts issues we face daily such as jealousy, deception and stereotypes. “The Crucible” was also written during The Red Scare period, and very obviously paralleled the two events. In this way, the play not only gave a message, but also allowed the viewers to see their same situation in a different light and a different period of time. The above examples are well-known performances, but theater does not have to be a full-length production in order to have meaning. Some of the most powerful messages can be given through a skit that may only be 10 minutes long. Many missionary or social activist groups use these methods in order to spread their message. Through these performances the audience is given an inside glimpse and usually a personal story to relate to and find a con-
nection with. Though the characters are often made up, the obstacles they must overcome are quite identical to those which many face every day. This way people not only hear about what things are taking place around them, nationally or globally, but they are given almost a “sneak peek” into reality. Many people like to see things before they will really believe or try to understand that it exists. This is one of the greatest gifts theater has to offer society, and one that is not taken full advantage of or utilized. Theater is not only a way for people here in the United States to gain understanding, but can also help to bridge a connection between different cultures. For those cultures which we do not understand and for those who do not understand us, in the same ways mentioned before, theater offers a way for people of all nationalities to find some relation to one another. Though people do not all share the same background, religion or race, we all share the same basic human characteristics. We can understand when we see a person crying or laughing. We know what it is like to feel fear or compassion. And by seeing these things played out in front of us, we are able to find that connection. Theater helps to strip away the differences we have with each other. It allows us to see outside of the world we live in, or to see more clearly what is taking place around us. — Respond to Jess at henews@bgnews.com.
Who are you to tell the donors how to give? “It’s not some big, evil conspiracy by the University to downplay academics and focus on athletics. It’s a choice, and the Strohs had every right to make it.” athletics. It’s a choice, and the Strohs had every right to make it — it’s their money. Second, much of the time University athletic improvements are funded in large part by private donations that are made with a specific purpose in mind. That’s why we have the Sebo Center (from Bob and Karen Sebo) and soon, the Stroh Center. Who are you to tell people what to do with their money — or worse, to tell the University that they should use the money for a purpose other than what it was donated and intended for? Third, this project — and others like it — actually have the potential of paying for them-

selves over the long-run. Like it or not, University athletics bring in a lot of attention and potential students. Take, for example, the BGSU women’s basketball team’s Sweet 16 run last year. The University’s name and logo were plastered all over ESPN and other sports channels and Web sites last year. It’s hard to quantify the results, but the fact is that there are very few things that can create that sort of buzz for a University. All of that buzz boils down to one thing: money. The teams bring in money from tickets, merchandise, concessions, etc. New prospective students hear about the University and enroll — more money. A simple appearance in the postseason tournament (and bowl games for football, etc.) means a certain amount of money coming in. Furthermore, in the case of a Convocation Center, the University gains the ability to bring in large, national acts and speakers that can gener-
ate huge amounts of attention and ticket sales — bringing in more money. If you’re concerned about increasing funding for educational programs, services and other structural improvements, then do something about it. Start a fund raising campaign. Donate your money. Ask people to donate. Write letters to legislators. Many, if not all (I’m not sure) donations to the University can be directed to specific areas of concern. As the saying goes, “money talks.” It may be a harsh truth to swallow, but it is the truth. So the question becomes: What are you saying? In closing, I’d like to say that no matter what comes up in the debate about where donated money should be going, please, whatever you do, do not question the priorities or the integrity of the Stroh family. They have given more to this University — in all aspects — than most people could even begin to realize. I, for one, would like to thank them for that, from one Falcon to another. — Streetman is a senior majoring in creative writing. Respond to his column at thenews@bgnews.com.

Second suspect arrested for UNC slaying By Jesse James DeConto, Stanley B. Chambers Jr. and Samuel Spies MCT
DURHAM, N.C. — Durham police early yesterday arrested Lawrence Alvin Lovett Jr., the second suspect in the slaying of University of North Carolina student Eve Carson, and charged him also with the death in January of a Duke graduate student. Lovett, 17, surrendered peacefully about 4:16 a.m. EDT after negotiating with police from a home in South Durham. Police charged Lovett with murder in the Jan. 18 slaying of Abhijit Mahato and placed him in the Durham County Jail. Authorities do not expect to transport him to Orange County before today. The new charge against Lovett came as a surprise; he had been named Wednesday as a suspect only in the murder of Carson. Lovett is the second person charged with killing Mahato, 29, who was shot to death in his apartment. Police previously charged Stephen Oates, 19, with Mahato’s slaying. Oates also has been charged with more than a dozen armed robberies. In a news release yesterday morning, Durham police said an anonymous tipster told the county sheriff’s office about Lovett’s whereabouts. Police tried for more than an hour
and a half yesterday morning to establish communication with him before reportedly tossing a telephone into the house. An earlier tip led police to the first suspect in Carson’s death. Demario James Atwater, 21, of Durham was arrested early Wednesday. He later was formally charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of Carson, the student body president at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Police did not say who they think fired the shots that killed Carson. But investigators think Lovett is the driver pictured in a pair of security photos of attempts to use Carson’s bank card at an ATM. The spelling of Lovett’s name varied in police news releases. Chapel Hill police referred to him as Lawrence Alvin Lovett Jr.; Durham police referred to him as Lawrence Alvin Lovette. State criminal records list several convictions for a Lawrence Lyle Lovette of 1213 Shepherd St., with the same birth date that the police gave for the suspect. Lawrence Lyle Lovette was convicted in Durham in January on misdemeanor charges of breaking and entering, larceny and trying to break in to a vehicle, according to state records. The State Department of Correction’s Web site, however, lists the name as Laurence Lovette. Virginia Barbee, a friend of

Lovett’s family in Chapel Hill, said Lovett’s mother, Melissa Lovette, and her late husband adopted Lawrence. “The boy just had problems after (his father) died. He was very close to him,” Barbee said. “I cannot say that that was a boy that was just bad. He just really fell apart after his adopted father died.

couldn’t handle it. “He was a good boy.” Atwater, meanwhile, was being held without bail in the Orange County, N.C., jail. Before Wednesday, Atwater’s most serious encounters with the law were convictions of felony breaking and entering, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Lovette’s criminal record, if any, was not immediately clear. According to court records, Atwater received three years’ probation in 2005 for breaking into a home in Southeast
Raleigh. He also was ordered to pay $1,900 in restitution. Atwater stole a cooler and two guns from the home, Raleigh Police Department spokesman Jim Sughrue said. In 2007, Atwater was convicted in Granville County of being a felon in possession of a firearm. N.C. Department of Correction spokesman Keith Acree said Wake County officials had started the process of revoking Atwater’s probation. A hearing had been scheduled for March 31.
NEW YORK — Meg Robustelli had heard reports that a chemical in most plastic baby bottles could be dangerous, but she had not done anything about it. That’s when her mother stepped in and bought her glass bottles.
“She’s an alarmist, but I’m grateful,” said Robustelli, whose daughter, Mia, is 14 months old. “I switched because of all the concerns about the plastic.” She made the change about six months ago, becoming one of a relatively small but growing number of parents turning to glass bottles amid concerns over
a chemical used to make plastic bottles, bisphenol A. “I wish I was using glass from the beginning, so I could have avoided any exposure,” said Robustelli, of Stamford, Conn. Bisphenol A is a manmade chemical used to make most baby bottles. Opinions on its safety are mixed.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A federal jury yesterday convicted five former executives of a health care company in a $1.9 billion fraud scheme. The officials worked with National Century Financial Enterprises, described as the nation’s largest health care financing firm before its 2002 bankruptcy. The five — some of the company’s highest ranking executives — were convicted of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud. The defendants and their attorneys listened without emotion as U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley read the verdicts one by one. Some of the defendants’ family members sitting in the courtroom appeared stunned. Those convicted were: Donald Ayers, the company’s former chief operating officer; James Dierker, the company’s former vice president of client development; Roger Faulkenberry, a former executive vice president who raised money from investors; Rebecca Parrett, the company’s former vice chairman; and Randy Speer, National Century’s former chief financial officer. The defendants face a minimum of 20 years in prison, and prison terms could go as high as 30 years behind bars depending on the number of counts they were convicted of. Judge Marbley, over the objections of government prosecutors, allowed the defendants to remain free while they await sentencing but required them all to wear an electronic monitoring device. Sentencing was expected in two to three months. The company offered financing to small hospitals, nursing homes and other health care providers by purchasing their debt — also known as accounts receivable — and giving them cash to cover expenses. Prosecutors argued executives of the company, based in suburban Dublin, authorized millions in unsecured loans to those health care providers, then misled investors about the loans. Attorneys for the five defendants said prosecutors took the company’s activities out of context by showing jurors only a tiny slice of National Century’s operations. The government said the unsecured loans caused shortfalls that the executives covered up by moving money between accounts. The government alleged the executives fabricated data and lied to investors about the shortfalls and loaded false information on a company computer system. “If they did nothing wrong, then why did they have to lie and cheat and cover it up month after month, year after year?” federal trial attorney Kathleen McGovern said to jurors. The government’s star witness, former executive vice president Sherry Gibson, testified last month that the company kept two sets of books, one for public consumption filled with false information, the other that showed the firm’s actual shortfalls. Gibson is one of four former National Century executives who previously pleaded guilty to fraud charges and have cooperated with the government. Over a day and a half of closing arguments, defense attorneys attacked the government’s case on the grounds that the evidence was thin and the witnesses unreliable. “The deeper we look at this, the more flimsy the government’s case becomes,” Leonard Yelsky, who represented Dierker, told jurors. Missing from the trial has been National Century’s former president and chief executive, Lance Poulsen, a chief target of the government’s allegations. Before his own trial on the fraud charges in August, Poulsen is scheduled for a trial Monday before Marbley on charges of witness tampering.

Collectors and dj’s say your grandfather’s records can do more than just gather dust By Addie Curlis Pulse Editor
Due to the social world of vinyl, more and more young people are discovering new music, said Kelly Wicks, owner of Grounds for Thought. Wicks, a collector himself, said he has a turntable in his office, at the roaster and in the guest and family rooms in his home. Employees at Grounds sell between one and two dozen records a day at the coffee shop. They consistently offer about 3,000 records, he said. “We sometimes buy entire collections, and then we inspect them, clean them and put new sleeves on them,” he said. Wicks enjoys seeing others find a record they have been looking for and also watching people find new ways to listen to music. He added that new technology for formatting music has increased the sales of turntables. Customers enjoy the packaging, art work, posters and liner notes that accompany vinyl. Listening to vinyl is an involved process, he said. “People find this way of listening to music appealing, even though there are easier ways,” he said. Vinyl is popular also because some music is not available in any other musical form. This is important for disc jockeys — who normally utilize underground music. University student and disc jockey Brian Scavo, also known as “What the Bleep,” uses vinyl in his radio shows. Between mixing, beat matching and DJ-ing, Scavo promotes himself as a vinyl DJ opposed to a radio DJ, specializing in electronic dance music. “Beat matching is all about rhythm and training your ears to match up the music through listening,” he said. Scavo taught himself to use turntables in the summer of 2004, shortly after attending a rave and getting turned on to the culture. In rave culture, it is looked down upon to use CDs in shows, he said. Because Scavo uses a very specific, underground genre known as raga jungle in his shows, he purchases almost all of his vinyl records on online shops. He said they range from $7 to $15, plus a heavy shipping fee because they have to be packaged very carefully. Giving off an authentic sound, having more control and being able to manipulate the turntable are main reasons Scavo enjoys vinyl. Even though it is a dying technology, he said there will always be a small, isolated community that demands vinyl. “There is no hope for vinyl being part of

From fast-food workers to bank tellers, college students take on many, and often multiple, jobs in order to pay for their college education. But another job opportunity for college students lies in locations that many of them frequent already — bars and clubs. The hours at Uptown Bar on Main Street in downtown Bowling Green could be ideal for some college students’ schedules. Rachael Johnston has worked as one of Uptown’s bartenders for 3 1/2 years now and explained that bartenders’ shifts at Uptown are generally five hours long and could begin as early as 9 p.m. or as late as midnight. According to Johnston, the majority of a bartender’s job rests in socializing with the customers while mixing and retrieving drinks at the same time. “It’s fun if you can multitask and manage your time,” Johnston said. “You start to build a clientele.”
Johnston said one of her favorite parts of the job is meeting new people and building relationships with her customers. Some of those client relationships have also led to experiences that top her list of interesting happenings at the job. “Guys have asked me to marry them,” Johnston recalled with a laugh. “They’re not serious — they do it because I get them drunk, which I find ridiculous.” While there are fun aspects to the job, there are also reasons why Johnston hopes her bartending ends at Uptown, one of which is the liability that resides in underage drinkers. “If someone is caught drinking underage, the liability lies completely with the bartender,” Johnston said. “So we also have the job of making sure underage kids aren’t drinking.” And while Johnston said talking with customers is one of her favorite parts of being a bartender, she added that the customers can also make the job stressful.

“I’ve had money thrown at me, I’ve seen fights,” Johnston listed. “But one of the worst parts is dealing with rude people and people who don’t know how to tip, which is common in Bowling Green.” Being behind the bar also means that bartenders cannot take part in some of the bigger party days during the year. “We have to miss out on days that we could be in here drinking, like St. Patrick’s Day and New Year’s, because we have to work,” Johnston said. So if the rent is due and you’re behind on the tuition payments, bartending may be a job option to keep in mind.

Although most people may not consider vinyl to be mainstream or practical, there are a few who still embrace this “outdated” technology. The tradition of listening and collecting vinyl is a main component of its continued prevalence. The music library on the University’s campus still houses one of the largest vinyl collections in the world, with more than 700,000 popular recordings. Bill Schurk, sound recordings archivist in the music library, is just one of many vinyl record collectors in the Bowling Green area. He has been collecting vinyl since the late 1940s. He now has approximately 30,000 in his collection at home. “I treasure it [collecting vinyl] and have put love into it,” he said. Schurk said people who grew up strictly listening to vinyl continue to collect because the songs they enjoy have only been

Times New Viking Grade | C
Idiot Pilot Grade | B+
“RIP IT OFF”
“WOLVES”
WHAT LAURA LEE CARACCIOLO THINKS: Times New Viking did one thing right — they wrote some catchy songs. However, the quality of the music makes it extremely hard to get into. Every song sounds like a bad, live recording of band practice in a garage, but if you give it a few listens you can find some good melodies underneath all the static. “Drop-Out” is by far the best song on the CD. It’s the only song on the album that is remotely cleaned up and it is one of the catchiest songs I’ve heard in a while. The female and malemixed vocals sound great and the music has just the right amount of static to keep its originality, but to also draw in more fans. The last 40 seconds of “End of All Things” is a stand-out acoustic clip which proves that the band has major potential. My teeth unclenched and I was able to breathe easier for the first time while listening to the album. Times New Viking would be an excellent band if they just cleaned up the noise a little bit. Removing some of the loud clashes and improving the vocal quality would make the album much more likable. However, leaving some of the mess in the songs is a must because their raw sound makes the band unique and easily distinguishable from some terrible bands that have struggled to make it over the last few years.
WHAT LAURA LEE CARACCIOLO THINKS: “Wolves” is an album that I listened to a lot, not only because I was assigned to review it, but because it’s a really good CD. Idiot Pilot starts it off with soft, slow vocals and then a surprising techno beat comes in and captivates you. Electronica mixed with rock music has become popular over the last few years, but the band that really pioneered it was Radiohead, which Idiot Pilot can easily be compared to. Throughout the track “Elephant,” Michael Harris’ vocals and style sound almost identical to Thom Yorke’s of Radiohead. The song is mysterious and Harris’ vocals flow perfectly with the electronic music and drum beat in the background. Although Idiot Pilot can also be compared to other bands such as Muse and the Postal Service, they ultimately bring a unique, independent album to the table that stands out from other sub-pop records. “Last Chance” and “Retina and the Sky” are the best tracks on the album. They are unique and melodic with extremely catchy choruses to rock out to. “Wolves” is innovative and cinematic, and it’s a great addition to any CD collection.
released on vinyl. Another bonus of having records is the 12-by-12 image on the cover. The covers usually contain elaborate art that is nice to display, Schurk said. He said listening to vinyl requires becoming accustomed to the pops and clicks of the record. “A lot of people want the crisp sound and don’t like the surface noise,” Schurk said. Some younger listeners may favor CDs for this reason. However, Schurk said there is a breed of curious young people who have a consciousness for their musical heritage. “There is that connect with Mom and Dad to share an interest with the older format as a carrier for older music,” Schurk said. He said he enjoys vinyl
because it ties him to his childhood, and he enjoys moving the needle and dropping the records on the turntable. The sound created by a turntable is also one of the main reasons for the popularity of vinyl. Collector and graduate student Megan O’Byrne enjoys the authenticity of the sound. “I prefer the sound of vinyl to the mass produced sound of CDs,” she said. “I enjoy the ticks.” However, some people living in our generation do not feel the need to hang on to the vinyl tradition, Scavo said. He said people now want cheap, expedient forms of music. “The elitist rave culture screams ‘vinyl is the only way to go,’ while others scream ‘vinyl is dead, go buy a CD,’ Scavo said.

Falcons to face Ohio in MAC Tournament semifinals By Chris Voloschuk Sports Editor
TENNIS BG winning matches at a record pace The BG tennis team is currently 11-0 after the best start to a season in team history. Starting next week, the Falcons will open up conference play against Eastern Michigan. Page 10
This afternoon at 2:30, it’s officially game-time for the Falcons. After dismantling Kent State 85-57 Tuesday night in their Mid-American Conference Tournament quarterfinal match-up, the BG women’s basketball team will set their collective sights on their semifinal foe, Ohio. Both teams are bringing some momentum into today’s game. While BG hasn’t lost since Jan. 30, Ohio finished the regular season 10-6 in MAC play and took down both Central Michigan and higherseeded Eastern Michigan in their first round game. BG vs. OU has been a heated rivalry over the years. This season, the Falcons won both head-to-head games with the Bobcats 60-45 and 82-67, respectively. But with the Quicken Loans Arena serving as a neutral site, those games
are in the past. For the Bobcats, senior guard Lauren Kohn has been an all-world player. In the regular season, she averaged 16.4 points per game —second-best in the conference — and 6.1 rebounds. Her outstanding numbers earned her a spot on the All-MAC First Team. In the win over EMU, Kohn had 14 points, six boards, three assists and three steals. The Falcons had some equally impressive performances in their first tournament game. Point guard Kate Achter had 11 assists and four players scored in double figures. Sophomore center Tara Breske had 16 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks against a larger Kent front line. In past MAC Tournaments, The Q has been a second home court for BG. The victory over Kent was the ENOCH WU 10th in their last 11 games in that NO LOVE LOST: BG and Ohio have been rivals for years. This season, BG has won both head-to-head match-ups with OU. venue since 2004.

Walker, men’s golf team find success in Puerto Rico By Jason Jones Reporter
The men’s golf team took a spring break trip to Puerto Rico, and took care of some business at the Palmas Del Mar Invitational while they were there. The team played three solid rounds to land them right in the center of the final standings, at seventh out of 13. “We beat the teams that we should beat,” said head coach Gary Winger. Winger was pleased with the teams finish, saying “We were 10 shots out of third, and we could’ve done it in that last round, but we just didn’t get it.” “We just didn’t have someone play great, and that’s what you need to be successful,” Winger said. While no Falcon did play great, there were three that still came through with impressive performances. Senior captain Jace Walker shot a first round of 71 before following that up with two rounds of 74.
Jace Walker Shot 219 and finished in 12th place overall “Jace is pretty close to being great again, just like he was in the fall,” Winger said. “I’m close. My short game, putting, that stuff just wasn’t there yet,” Walker said. Walker’s final score of 219 landed him in 12th overall. If the level of Walker’s play continues to increase, or even stays the same, he’ll go down as one of the two best golfers in school history. Walker, who is averaging 72.13 strokes per round this year, a Mid-American Conference best, currently sits just ahead of the single season average of 72.4. Walker is also just slightly ahead of the career average mark of 75.02,

Fortunately for BG, the loser Playing in March is the goal of any of that one game will be hosting college hockey team, though cer- round two of the CCHA Playoffs tainly no one expected it from a this weekend in Oxford, OH. “You’re looking at a team that’s team that was picked to finish last in the Central Collegiate Hockey leading the country in both goals scored and goals against,” said BG Association this season. But the Falcons said from the coach Scott Paluch of the Miami beginning that they did not care Redhawks. “Yet we certainly realize that we’ve seen what we have to do about such expectations. “People need to be coming to see to be successful against them like us,” said BG freshman Jake Cepis we did two months ago.” Paluch, of course, referred to back in September. “We have a great team, a great bunch of guys BG’s 4-2 victory over Miami on Jan. and we’re going to have a hell of a 4 that gave his team a huge confidence boost at the beginning of season this year.” BG has lived up to those words the regular season’s second half. Recent history is on the Falcons’ thus far. They went 18-19-0 to finish side this weekend. The last time they made it to around the middle of the pack in the CCHA, and recently clinched a the CCHA Semifinals at Joe Louis thrilling first round playoff victory Arena, they had to get by Miami in over Lake Superior thanks to an 2000-01.

HOCKEY From Page 9 score four goals in a game again this weekend, their chances of heading to Detroit look extremely promising. BG has yet to lose a game this season when they score four or more goals, sporting a 120-0 record including the playoffs. “The most important thing is that we’re still playing,” Paluch said. “To go down and play Bowling Green’s first playoff series in the new Steve Cady Arena will be exciting.” The atmosphere in the twoyear-old arena in Oxford could be somewhat lessened due to the fact that Miami students are on spring break starting this weekend. This was also the case last weekend for BG against Lake Superior, as the BGSU Ice Arena saw an average of just 980 fans for the three-game set. Justin Mercier, Miami’s second leading scorer this season, said he’s still looking forward to the home-ice atmosphere in an arena where fans have been known to literally camp out the night before a game to get tickets. “I expect it to be pretty rowdy and crazy, and I’m not sure how many students we’ll draw, but the community around here has been great for us,” Mercier said. “They really support us and come out strong, and although we may lack the students that we’ve had

Tennis heading into conference season on heels of best start in 34 years By Nate Parsons Reporter

BAD OMEN?: BG has only one win against the CCHA’s top four teams this season.
all year long, I think we’ll still have a pretty good turnout.” The fans that do show up should expect to witness plenty of NHL-caliber talent on both sides. Miami features six NHL draft picks to BG’s two, but one pick from each team will be particularly interesting to watch. Jimmy Spratt (Calgary Flames ‘04) and Jeff Zatkoff (Los Angeles Kings ‘06) were teammates in juniors and are sure to be in opposite creases for at least one of the games this weekend. The top two goal scorers in the CCHA this season will also be skating against each other. Derek Whitmore and Ryan Jones each have 23 goals in 28 conference games as the captains of their respective teams.
“That’s a side story to it all,” Paluch said. “[Whitmore and Jones] are two very good players who have had outstanding years, but clearly, the match up will be a lot more than that. It’s safe to say that both teams will need their best players to play well, but there’s going to be a lot of very good players on the ice this weekend.” Those players will face off on the ice in Oxford at 7:35 p.m. tonight, 7:05 p.m. tomorrow, and also 7:05 p.m. on Sunday, if necessary. To read and see more on the series, including a video preview, check the BG News Sports Blog at http://bgnewssports.blogspot.com. Live game updates will be provided all weekend as well.
When conference play begins in just over a week, the BG tennis team will be going in with an 11-0 record and a No. 54 national ranking in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. BG’s 11-0 start is the best in school history, breaking the previous record (10-0) held by the 1973-74 team. After knowing about the record for a couple of matches now, breaking the record was on the team’s mind, according to Kelsey Jakupcin. “We’ve been working towards breaking the record,” she said. “We finally did it in California and it was a really great feeling and then finding out about being ranked was just incredible. We were so excited for our coach because she’s never had a national ranking before. We were just thrilled.” For a team that spent most of its spring break in California, finding out it was nationally ranked was the icing on the cake, according to coach Penny Dean. The Falcons earned a No. 60 ranking in the ITA national rankings after defeating Cal Poly Pomona and UC San Diego over the break. They have since moved up to No. 54 and are the only team from the MidAmerican Conference to be ranked in the top-75. The Falcons also tied the school’s longest winning streak — beginning of a season or otherwise. The record and nationally ranking is a reward for the girls, said Dean. “I feel like it’s all them,” she said. “They’ve worked hard and have pulled out some individual matches, while giving us victories over teams that have helped us get the ranking and the record.”

as he currently holds an average of 75.00. The interesting twist is that both records are held by head coach Gary Winger. Sophomore John Powers finished 22nd overall, with a final score of 224. Just one stroke behind him was perhaps the most surprising name of the event, freshman Bryan Mitchell. Mitchell, who had played in only six rounds all year coming into the event, finished with a final score of 225. “Bryan had his best tournament since he’s been here,” said Winger. “I’m a lot more comfortable now than I was in the fall,” said Mitchell. “When I first came here it was eye-opening how good everyone is in college. In high school, you’re just a big fish in a small pond.”
“We have the first part of our season under our belts. We already achieved our goal of breaking the school record and now our goal is focused more on winning all of our MAC matches.” Kelsey Jakupcin | BG tennis player The Falcons broke the school record for best start after defeating Cal Poly Pomona, 9-0. In doubles play, BG won all three matches with the top-two tandems winning by identical 8-1 scores. Christine Chiricosta and Jakupcin won at the top flight, while senior co-captains Jenna Nussbaum and Andrea Volle won at the second flight. The duo of Katia Babina and Sam Kintzel rounded out the Falcons’ doubles play with at 8-3 victory at the third flight. It was more of the same in singles as BG won five of the six matches in straight sets. The only match to go the distance was Jakupcin’s topflight match against Jenny Tsai. Jakupcin won the third-set tiebreaker, 10-3. Two days earlier the Falcons defeated UC San Diego, 7-2. BG took two of the three doubles matches to take an early 1-0 lead. The duos of Nussbaum/Volle and Babina/Kintzel both won by identical scores of 8-1 at the second and third flights, respectively. The tandem of Chiricosta/ Jakupcin was narrowly defeated — 9-7 — in top-flight action. Like the match against Cal Poly Pomona, the Falcons won five of the six singles matches. The only singles win for the Tritons came in the fifth flight where Stefanie Menoff was Mitchell expressed that this year has humbled him, and that he now realizes that everyone is just as good as he is. However, if he can continue to elevate his play to the level displayed in Puerto Rico, he may end up being a valuable part of the program. Senior Trevor Spathelf followed up his performance two weeks ago in Hilton Head, a performance that earned him MAC Golfer of the Week honors with a final score of 234, finishing 52nd overall. Now, looking back on the event, Walker and the rest of his teammates consider it a successful trip, but it’s clear they’re aiming to accomplish more. “We beat everyone seeded below us, but no one ranked ahead of us,” Walker said. “We need to start beating some better teams.” The Falcons will get the chance to in two weeks when they head to Bloomington, Indiana for the Hoosier Invitational.

defeated in three sets. With the Falcons’ non-conference schedule out of the way, they can now focus on what coach Dean said is “the most important part of our season.” All of the records, along with a national ranking, will be put on the back burner as the team is now solely focused on winning the MAC. “We have the first part of our season under our belts,” Jakupcin said. “We already achieved our goal of breaking the school record and now our goal is focused more on winning all of our MAC matches.” Even though the team was picked to finish sixth in the conference, Dean feels it is one of the teams to beat. “We’ve always felt as a team that we were one of the teams to beat in the MAC for this year,” Dean said. “I think in these pre-MAC matches, we’ve caused the other teams to sit up and take notice.” Eastern Michigan will be the first MAC team to take notice as the Falcons travel to Ypsilanti, Mich., on March 21. Whether the team wins the MAC or not, Jakupcin said it will always have the record. “We’re always going to be down in the books,” she said. “Other BG tennis teams in future years are going to be like, ‘Well I guess we have to beat that 2008 tennis team and their big record.’”

CORE, W.Va. — Life jackets are made for people, not dogs. So, when Randy Earl’s small boat capsized while he was fishing with his dog Lacy, a black spaniel mix, he stayed in the water with his life jacket while making sure Lacy was OK. “When the boat flipped over, I put the dog on top of the boat,” Earl told The Dominion Post of Morgantown. While waiting for someone to rescue them on Mason Lake in northern West Virginia, Earl clung to the 12-foot boat’s hull. The water temperature
was about 50 degrees, said J.M. Crawley, a senior conservation officer for the Division of Natural Resources. Another fisherman, Jan Thorn, watched from shore as a state trooper paddled out to rescue Earl and Lacy. “He asked the state trooper to take the dog first,” Thorn said. “It was very touching.” Earl, 53, said Lacy means a lot to him and his wife since they lost both of their children in a car accident 15 years ago. “That dog is like a child to us,” he said.
