Skate to Save Event assembles star skaters to raise money toward cancer research By Natasha Ivery Reporter
Ice skating may be an activity that is both fun and imaginative and includes a variety of skills and special tricks. When you add in ice skating for a special cause, it can make ice skating even better. The 12th annual Skate for Hope was held Saturday, May 2, in the University’s ice arena. The show featured a cast of various performers, including principal Disney on Ice performer Alexe Gilles, local middle and high school girls and University alumna Alissa Czisny. Skate for Hope originated when a woman in the ice arena industry, Carolyn Bongirno, decided to combine fundraising and ice skating into one. “I worked for the Orlando Magic for a while, managing their ice arena building,” Bongirno said. “I was introduced into the ice skating world and wanted to do something to

General Fees Series PART 2: Breakdown of the Athletic Budget By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
There is something to be said about the popularity of collegiate sports in today’s society. It’s no secret that sports are a major talking point among University alumni, students, faculty and staff. People know when Dino Babers and the football team plays well or not so well. University athletic departments around the country are “the window of the university,” as Francis Voll, chair of the University’s Board of Trustees calls it. The University’s so called “window,” has produced a football team that won the inaugural Camellia Bowl on December 20, 2014, its first bowl win since 2004, which brought in a total of 1.1 million viewers from across the country to
an ESPN network. According to a New York Times article, the Falcons’ win in the Camellia Bowl had a higher viewership than nine early-round NCAA Tournament basketball games. “You can’t really afford to pay that kind of advertising,” Voll said. “You are on TV for three hours. Bowling Green State University, that’s coast to coast, so that’s big for us, no question.” But what has been questioned is how much the University Athletic Department receives in general fees from the students. According to the Proposed 2015 general fee and related auxiliary budgets approved by the Board of Trustees, the amount of general fees the Athletic Department receives is $12,282,708. That is 63 percent of the department’s $19,303,808 expected revenue bud-

get. While that percentage is high, it is lower than what it was in 2014. In 2014, general fees supported 70 percent of the Athletic Department’s $18,073,732 revenue budget, according to the same document. In 2014 the Athletic Department also received $435,895 more in general fees. That put the University fourth in the MAC when it came to general fees supporting the athletic departments, according to a story written by Jon Styf of Chicagofootball.com. An increase in private income [alumni or donor contributions] would help lower the amount of general fees that supports the department. That is something Voll said he and the Board of Trustees would like to see more of. “We would like to see more private income coming into athlet-

Poe Ditch Series Part 3: The Aftermath Festival brings money, leaves scar on town in summer of 1975 By Hannah Benson Reporter
At first glance, the Poe Ditch Music Festival of 1975 seemed to be a failure. However, over the years, opinions of its success have butted heads. University President at the time Hollis Moore Jr. released a statement the day after the concert calling it a ‘first time-last time’ campus experience. “The large scale rock concert experiment will not be repeated at Bowling Green State University,” Moore said. “It was strictly a first time, last time experience.” The widespread drugs use at the concert and the damage done to the Doyt L. Perry stadium by more than 40,000 attendees caused the administration to quickly decry PDMF. Kim Jakeway, president of student group Cultural Boost, which organized PDMF, said he was upset Moore had to make the statement. “I was more disappointed that he had to go through that, that the administration had to go through that whole ordeal,” Jakeway said. “I don’t have any regrets except the disappointment it may have caused the administration.” Jakeway said he was satisfied with the concert as a whole, but “upset at the student turnout.” A relatively small number of University students attended the concert. About 3,300 students, one-tenth of the audience, bought presale tickets for the event, though a higher number may have actually attended.

turned the lights off and started showing the constellations, I felt like I was actually in space.” After the tour of the basic constellations, the program jumped into more complex discussions such as what makes a planet a planet. The International Astronomical Union, a collection of professional astronomers who are responsible for promoting and safeguarding the science of astronomy, were challenged to define what planets are after discovering an object further out in space than Pluto in 2005. In 2006, the IAU general assembly came up with a definition that would change your mind about what you were taught in grade school — Pluto is no longer considered a planet. The definition states that a planet is a “celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium [nearly round] shape, and has cleared the neighbor-

After the storm POE DITCH From Page 1
Despite precautions and controls exercised by the concert’s promoter, Ross Todd Productions, and other officials in charge of the concert, Moore said the event “encouraged heavy drug usage.” Citizen Jenie York said the rock festival was an unfortunate experience. “More drugs entered Bowling Green this weekend than normally would have entered the city and University during the next five years,” York said. In the statement, he said the University would not be put in the position again. “There was no way to foresee it and there was no way to stop it,” Jakeway said of the damages as a result of the concert. “I’m still to this day sorry they can’t have any outdoor things at the University.” At a city council meeting after the concert, then Councilman Boyd Crawford wanted legislation to ban future rock festivals at University. Council President Bruce Bellard told Crawford he would discuss the matter with City Attorney John Cheetwood, but no law was ever passed. At the same city council meeting, University student Dwight Greer apologized to the council on behalf of various student organizations. He said he was sorry for problems in the city this weekend and pointed out that outsiders rather than University students did most damage. This can be linked back to the fact that not many students were at the event. Galen Ash, Bowling Green police officer during the concert, said some people consider PDMF “one of the biggest disasters in Bowling Green history.” He also said it “set city/University relations back, I’m
guessing four or five years.” However, if Ash had to do it over, he said he would try to keep it from happening, if possible. If PDMF happened today, Ash said, “We have a lot of different technology and things today that we could’ve probably been prepared.” The Doyt stadium sustained the most damages from PDMF. When the headlining acts canceled due to rain, the track press box was set on fire and burned down by PDMF attendees. Not only did the press box experience damages, but the field as well. Ken Schoeni, who was in charge of building and maintaining the Doyt, said he spent a week trying to get things out of the field like glass and hairpins. It took Schoeni and about 30 students hired to help a better part of a week to clean up. He said if it happened again he would want it to be policed right. Jakeway said he was disappointed and felt he let the administration down. “I was more disappointed for the administration because they had put so much trust in me, the promoters and the event itself,” Jakeway said. The promoter was held responsible for the damages. Promoters were apologetic and spent at least $7,000 to help clean up, Jakeway said. “They were genuinely upset with what had occurred, but in the end I think it was business as usual for them,” Jakeway said. Bowling Green resident G.M. DeWood wrote a column in The BG News calling the concert a “fiasco.” DeWood said another festival should not be attempted in Bowling Green because Poe Ditch robbed him of his money and time. “And if [another concert happens], then I will be sitting at home, my money in my pocket and my music on

loud enough to hear it,” DeWood said. “Two things that a large number of people missed at the Poe Ditch Fiasco.” The BG News staff at the time had a different opinion than DeWood, which they expressed in a staff editorial responding to the proposed ban on concerts. “Legal regulations should not be forced upon Bowling Green students when it is obvious they had little to do with the widespread drug usage and destruction at Sunday’s concert,” they wrote. “If legislation is brought about to forbid concerts, it may prohibit all forms of modern entertainment programs geared toward University audiences.” Rather, they proposed that better relations are needed between city officials, University administrators and students. Matt Donahue, current lecturer in pop culture department, said despite the failures of the concert, he considered the number of people at the event and the variety of artists to be a success. “The festival itself was a success on certain levels,” Donahue said. Jakeway agreed that on a financial level PDMF could be called a success. “It financially was a success. The promoters made money, the school made money, the bands enjoyed themselves,” Jakeway said. But the failures outweighed the successes for many people and have stuck with the city since, preventing another event of this size to happen in Bowling Green. “Until this day, there hasn’t been an event of this magnitude on campus, there hasn’t really been a festival type of situation similar to the Poe Ditch festival,”
Donahue said. While the concert left a path of destruction in terms of physical damages, some businesses boomed. Unlike the concert promoter, businesses avoided problems because of intentional planning. Several business owners reported how the weekend went in a June 3, 1975, edition of The BG News. Jan Cusano, manager of Mr. Ed’s Pizza Pub, said the pub did not run out of food or beverages because of good planning. “We had a terrific weekend,” Cusano said. “We didn’t have any problems.” Tom Baer, manager of Falcon Plaza Motel, also said because of prior planning the weekend ran smoothly. “We were expecting problems,” Baer said, “so we stayed on top of everything and prevented problems before they happened.” Bars did not report any fights or damages, except for the Gigolo bar on Wooster Street, which was burned down during the evening. While the amount of business swelled, some businesses said the damages were not worth it. Chris Hodges, reservations clerk at Holiday Inn, said that the people who stayed in the rooms left the place in shambles. They left excretions in drawers, broke light fixtures, took telephones and held drag races on the grass behind the motel. “It wasn’t even worth doing such good business because we had so many damages,” Hodges said. With mixed opinions on the success of PDMF, Bowling Green has not seen an event of its magnitude since. However, only time will tell what the future holds.
EDITOR’S NOTE
The three part series appearing in The BG News telling the story of the Poe Ditch Music Festival 40 years removed is the first of several multi-platform storytelling packages created by a student team representing all disciplines [broadcast, print and radio] of student media within the School of Media and Communications. The reporting here and presented in the next several weeks and months in the form of print reporting, podcasts, audio/video interviews, a documentary currently in production and a website where most of the research, artifacts, reporting and storytelling will reside, represents the combined work of a team of students and advisers over the past four months. Students contributing to this project are: videographer Alyssa Alfano; radio team members Dustin Sopher, Allison McDonald and Christopher McClendon and reporters Annie Furia, Michele Mathis and Hannah Benson. Staff advisers working with the students are: Ken Garland, Stephen Merrill and Robert W. Bortel.
EDITOR’S NOTE
This is the third part of a three-part series examining the Poe Ditch Music Festival which will mark its 40th anniversary June 1. The largest outdoor concert held in Ohio of its time, the event rocked the campus and community like few other events in local history.

FEES From Page 1 ics. Generated money is what we would like to see,” Voll said. “We know that it is very difficult to cover the budget with the amount of sports we have and almost 400 athletes that are involved.” “But we would like to continually see that become a bigger number and I think Chris Kingston has done a good job of trying to find ways to increase our money to operate that particular budget.” Athletic Director Chris Kingston held an open public forum on Monday, April 20, 2015, to discuss in-depth the Athletic Department’s spending. A few students there expressed frustration and were interested in how much they pay for services that they do not use. “I think that in the spirit of transparency, doing a forum or speaking with faculty senate, which I did the other day, is a great thing.” Kingston said in a separate interview. “We are a state public institution so I welcome it. [The forum] gives me an opportunity to find out what people’s questions are.” At the forum Kingston broke down all of the different revenue avenues for the department: the conference distributions, game guarantees and tickets are the three highest revenue sources, but
there are many others. Combined, those three sources are predicted to bring in $2,270,510 in 2015, according to the proposed budgets approved by the Board of Trustees. University spokesman Dave Kielmeyer said, “I think the board and the administration has made a commitment that we do need to control fees and costs for our students, so the push now is those new revenue sources and private giving. I see pressure in finding those new sources.” But at the forum Kingston said he wouldn’t call it pressure, “but I think that’s the way we are looking at it. ... Competing, remaining relevant competitively and academically within the group of five.” “This isn’t just football, basketball or hockey … this is about making sure that women’s soccer has the opportunity to compete at the highest level. That the golf teams have the opportunity to fund their programs and represent Bowling Green State University.” Representing the University is one of the things Kingston and many others in the administration cited as a benefit the Athletic Department brings. “You have to look at the societal thing and what makes universities move forward,” Voll said. “Certainly there is a lot to be gained by having an overall, strong, successful and legitimate athletic pro-
gram. Anytime our hockey team does well, anytime we are winning games over Toledo, all of these things that take place there is an increase in contributions.” Where those contributions go is up to the “wishes of the donor,” Kingston said. There is an annual giving that comes with being a member of the Falcon Club, but other than that a donor has the opportunity to designate their money how they want. If the contribution is not designated and just comes into the general athletics foundation fund, it goes toward scholarships, which is the number one need of the department. So the question that remains is, does the University put a priority on athletics over academics and other student services? Kielmeyer says they keep it in balance. “I think we’ve done a good job of holding the line on student fees and costs whenever we can,” Kielmeyer said. “I think compared to our peers we are doing more with less and doing a little bit better at achieving that balancing act.” Chief Financial Officer Sherri Stoll said that every school that has an athletic department in Ohio — except Ohio State — gives a majority of their general fees to their athletic department. To keep it in perspective, the
University in 2013-2014 was fourth in general fees among the six Ohio MAC schools. The only two universities who had less general fees according to the Chicagofootball.com article, were the University of Toledo, with $10,504,815, and the University of Akron, with $0. While they may have been fourth in the MAC in 2013-2014 the University is one of two universities — the other being Toledo — that don’t support athletics through their general budget. The priority for the general budget is retention, said President Mary Ellen Mazey at the forum. “Retention efforts primarily come of out the budget, not the student fee budget,” she said. “[Retention] is the number one priority of the institution. I don’t see [athletics and retention] in competition.” While the University’s general budget does not go towards athletics the national conversation about athletic department spending is sure to continue. And Voll and Board of Trustees may want the Athletic Department to bring in more private money, no thought has gone to cutting the budget and dropping to Division II. “I think we want to stay Division I,” said Voll. “I think there is a niche there, but we have to be mindful of how and what we are doing to make sure that works.”
PLANET From Page 2 hood around its orbit.” Because of Pluto’s size and its location in space, it is called a plutoid, or a dwarf planet that is farther out in space than Neptune. Pluto was first discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh at the Lowell Obser vator y in Flagstaff Arizona. It is only 1,400 miles wide, about half the width of the United States, a nd it is slight ly smaller than Earth’s moon. “It is weird how semantics can change how you view the world,” said senior A mber Reed. “I still consider Pluto a planet because that’s what I knew for more than half of my life.” Scientists use strict criteria to help them with grouping planets. Grouping allows them to organize the certain properties of solar systems. “This was my first time in the Planetarium and I absolutely loved it,” said Bowling Green resident Ca r men Highhouse. “It was informative but also rela x ing and interesting. I wish I had discovered it sooner, but I am definitely bringing my little siblings back.”

We have all decided that, at least for a semester, we want to sing for an hour every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to fulfill a requirement or to infuse a shot of music into the coursework of nonrelated majors. While my own singing prowess declined in technique and skill in high school, that’s not something I mourn and focus on changing. I know that I have other gifts to be honed that aren’t the same as this friend or the person behind me. Still, I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I have asked this question of myself a few times. It’s true that I am touchy, although I probably should not be, about still being an undergrad in col-
lege at 22 with no plans to graduate until a year from now. I suppose transferring and changing one’s major will do that. It’s difficult to watch my friends graduate, though I am ecstatic for them, mostly because I will miss them but partly because I am jealous because they are finally starting their lives. On further reflection, however, I assert that the notion of young adults just starting their lives when they graduate is not entirely true. It’s true that they are beginning their lives as people with a degree, but they have already been in this game of life for, well, their whole lives. Much like the fact that life doesn’t start when you graduate high school, go to college, get engaged, get married, have kids or any other milestone, because they’re simply that: milestones. They are seasons of life and while each brings novelty, that soon fades away into the rhythm of plain old life. Now, who knows how come I believe all that, yet I’m jealous
of my friends’ internships at famous, upscale firms and start to get into that panic mode even though I know that’s silly. Shouldn’t I be looking for an internship? Everyone my age has an internship. What am I going to tell people when they ask if I have an internship? In short, what am I doing with my life? Here’s what I’m doing with my life. I am finishing this column. I am dreading studying for finals and dragging my heels even more on packing. I am getting ready for methods and student teaching next year [which, by the way, is my internship]. I am looking forward to working out with friends later on and welcoming the sunshine on this springtime glorious day. I am preparing for life in the future and living life for right now. But most importantly, I am enjoying it.

We lay our scene in a classroom in the music building last Wednesday, during the last meeting time for the Women’s Chorus. We had a mini talent show, in which members of the choir demonstrated their individual gifts. I was highly impressed by a friend of mine, who unbeknownst to me not only composed her own songs but had cut a CD and played and sang one of her songs for us. The rest of the choir was impressed, too, particularly someone behind me who whispered, “What am I doing with my life?” I understand that this phrase has been taken to express particular awe at somebody else’s talent, but I think it’s still an unhealthy habit to get into. Far better, I believe, to keep in mind is that we each have our own gifts and can capitalize on those. Every member of this choir is doing something with her life. For starters, we are all in college pursuing careers or at least figur-
All life is translation. The most common idea of translation, of course, is taking the meaning of words from one language into a meaning of words in another language. Translate comes from a Latin word that means to “carry across.” But as we carry those words between languages, some things fall from our hands. Translation always involves loss. But it can involve gain as well. Whatever is lost can be compensated for by knowledge, insight and especially connections to other human beings. If we give up and say “that’s untranslatable,” we lose the chance to look into other worlds. Strictly speaking, all communication involves loss and gain. I have an idea, which I put into words. I tell you my words and hope they’ll carry my intention across. You hear the words in a different context, based on your experience. There are several moments of loss: between what’s “out there”

and my perception, between my perception and my words and between my words and the way you hear them. This is why the Viennese writer Karl Kraus [1874-1936] wrote: “There is no language in which it is harder to communicate than language.” What is the hardest language? The one you are using right now. We’d better not ignore how hard it is to use this tool. If we take it for granted, assuming it can communicate accurately and completely, we are in trouble. This assumption is the hard-headed fantasy of common sense [see my column of March 23]. Using language — even the same language — is always translation. I look out my window and I write: “I see a bright green yew
bush whose boughs are bobbing in the wind.” My translation of the view out my window has some alliteration [bright, bush, boughs, bobbing] and some interesting rhythmic effects: “bright green yew bush whose boughs.” Maybe this evokes the scene and maybe it doesn’t. Alliteration is not a feature of the world. It’s an add-on, a workaround. Rhythm does seem to exist “out there” — that bird song, the motion of the boughs. But even rhythm is an interpretation [another word for translation!], probably based on my heartbeat. If the materials [sounds] of language are so different from the world “out there,” the contents of language [meanings] are even more so. The smarter we get about language — the more we distrust it — the more faith we can have that it can bridge the gap. At their best, liberal studies train us in this distrust, which is why common sense distrusts
liberal studies. Worrying about language may seem like “mere semantics,” but there is nothing “mere” about it. We can’t find out what lies behind semantics without using more semantics. Our current controversies about words stem from losses in translation. The meanings that “Indian” respectively evokes in some baseball fans and some Native Americans lie across a translation gap. The question whether “thug” is a new code for the N-word is a translation problem. “Rioter” and “freedom fighter” might be different translations of similar things. And if someone says “I love you,” we fret whether we are translating it right. All life is translation. Congratulations on finishing another academic year and happy translating!

Record-Breaking
Weekend
Track and field team collectively performs well, continued strong spring season By Aaron Parker Assistant Sports Editor
The Bowling Green track and field team took down more records and continued a strong season at the Jesse Owens Classic this past weekend. Redshirt senior Brooke Pleger, who set the Mid-American Conference record just a week ago, broke the record again in the hammer throw with a throw of 228 feet. The mark also breaks her school record, the stadium record at Ohio State and the record for the Jesse Owens Classic. Pleger has been the clear favorite all season long to win come championship time, as she has thrown further than any other college athlete this year. At the classic, five out of six of her throws were marks that beat every collegian this season. She holds the top eight throws in the event this season. In addition to the hammer throw, the team set a record in the 400 relay. Brittany Sinclair, Alicia Arnold, Kera Lamotte and Dorresha

Falcons win fifth straight series, steal rubber match Bowling Green baseball team plays way into third place By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
JESSE RAIT swings at a pitch in a home game against the University of Akron this weekend.
PAIGE APKARIAN | THE BG NEWS
With more than a month of consecutive Sunday victories, the Bowling Green baseball team has played its way into sole possession of third place in Mid-American Conference East division. Again losing the second game of the series, locking the series at one apiece going into the Sunday rubber match, the Falcons dazzled yet again in a 9-2 win over Akron. Trading runs over the first two innings, BG exploded in the fifth inning breaking the 2-2 tie. Trey Keegan worked the count full before leading off the inning with a walk. Matt Smith followed Keegan up with a ball to Matt Rembielak at shortstop resulting in a throwing error. Keegan scampered to third, putting runners on the corner with nobody out. Greg Basalyga, after coming through in the home half of the first inning to tie the game at 1-1, answered again here with a shot past Rembielak and Dom Iero at third scoring Keegan and keeping
two on with no outs. “I’m was just looking to drive in a run,” said Greg Basalyga, who finished with two hits and two RBIs. “He left the pitch up and I hit it hard. [I am] just trying to get runs in — that’s my job, I’m in the middle of the order trying to get RBIs.” The struggles to begin the fifth frame prompted Akron to make a change on the mound, bringing in Pat Dyer to replace Jon Pusateri. Despite the switch the Falcons weren’t finished. Randy Righter — who finished with a team-high four hits — roped a double down the left field line pushing Smith across and leaving two in scoring position. Jesse Rait and Nick Glanzman both went down looking before Brian Bien capped off the five-run inning. Bien — a typical leadoff hitter forced into the nine-hole for most of the season due to extreme early season struggles at the plate — came through with another shot through the left side easily

BG splits weekend, misses MAC tournament By Aaron Parker Assistant Sports Editor
With a 2-2 split on the weekend, the Bowling Green softball team lost its Mid-American Con ference tou r nament contention and ended its season against Central Michigan. To have made the tournament, the Falcons would have had to at least win three out of their four games on the weekend. The team started the weekend strong with a doubleheader aga inst Eastern Michigan, going off for eight runs in a game one win. However, in game two the Eagles rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Falcons 4-3, who had been leading all game up to that point. “Any time you give somebody free outs when they’re itching to score, you put yourself in a tough
BASEBALL From Page 6 scoring Basalyga followed by a hustling Righter who slid in safely just beating the throw. “I just wanted to get up there and help my team out, get those extra guys in, get the insurance for us,” said shortstop Brian Bien, who finished with three hits and three RBIs. “I’ve just been trying to keep it simple, just do the job, execute, do team things and that’s what sort of got me out of (my slump).” “[Bien] was really pressing at the beginning of the year. We sat him down as a coaching staff and just told him to ‘relax, just take it easy. You can play the game, you’re just pressing too much. By the end of the year your numbers are going to be where they normally are. You’re a .300-plus hitter, you’ve been that way since the day you stepped foot on campus and you’ll be there again,’” said head coach Danny Schmitz. “And that’s what he’s doing right now.” Bien finished the sequence with the fifth run of the inning, getting caught between bases. As Dyer lifted his leg to pitch, Bien took off toward third on first movement, but Dyer spun around before firing the ball over Iero’s head allowing Bien to snag two bases and a run, putting the Falcons up 7-2.
situation,” said head coach Shannon Salsburg. “They capitalized on it. A lot of different things kind of came together, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to close the game out and we didn’t.” Despite the loss, the Falcons hit the ball well in both games. In total there were 15 hits in both games, which is more than they had in their previous four. The pitching was also solid for the team, as they threw eight strikeouts compared to the Central Michigan three. Three different pitchers took the circle in the loss, as senior Jamie Kertes took the loss. “Overall, I thought we hit the ball pretty well today,” Salsburg said. “Our pitchers pitched pretty well. We got a couple clutch hits; Mo [Evangelista] got a clutch hit on a changeup to push across what could have been an insurance run in the second
game. But, again, you’ve got to close it out, and if you don’t, that’s what happens.” That put the Falcons in a must win situation against Central Michigan, who is ranked fourth overall in the MAC and second in the west division. The team came out slow and allowed the Chippewas to build a five run lead by the seventh inning. Central started off with a run in the first inning off of senior pitcher Jamie Kertes. Chippewa hitter Trista Cox hit a double to center right before a single and got herself into scoring position on third base. The next play would be an outfield error that allowed Cox to get in the first run of the game. CMU pitcher Taylor Weaver stayed perfect through the first three innings, and after she ended the Falcon
Akron was held scoreless the rest of the day on another strong effort from Zac Carey who finished with 116 pitches and one early earned run over eight innings. “Zac Carey, once again did a great job especially after a tough loss again on Saturday,” Schmitz said. “I give him credit. He settled right down and got in a groove. He didn’t want to come out after eight which is a good thing.” Carey lowered his season ERA to 3.23 while allowing just seven hits despite striking jut two batters out. Tony Landi came in to close the game out, throwing a scoreless ninth inning. BG finished the game with four errors in the field, but weathered the storm with a trio of highlight worthy defensive plays and 17 hits on offense. Brandon Howard first opened eyes with the first batter of the game. With Rait hugging the right field line, a huge hole was left open in right center before Havrilak popped the ball into the gap. But Howard took off about halfway into the grass and made a full-extension diving catch over his shoulder for the first out. Glanzman kept the defense rolling a bit later turning a crucial 5-4-3 double play on a shot hit straight down the third base line. Glanzman quickly fired it to Howard narrowly getting the first out before Howard
spun the ball to Righter at first to complete the turn. And Kory Brown capped off the trio of plays making another eye-opening play in right center. Sprinting toward the gap along the warning track, Brown slid just in time to get his glove around the ball and take away an extra-base hit. “We made some mistakes defensively, but I also thought there were some outstanding plays,” Schmitz said. With the win, BG bumps its overall record to 19-24 and conference record to 11-10 and moves into third place in the MAC East. As the MAC standings stand after the weekend, BG currently holds the would-be sixth seed in the conference tournament. “It’s huge, we’ve been fighting since after NIU. We knew our backs were against the wall, so every series we’ve been having, we’ve had the same mentality: Win the series, win the series. That’s what we’ve done [for] five series’ now,” Basalyga said. “The East is up for the taking and we have two series’ left and two more series to win. If we take care of business the East is for anybody to take.” Without a midweek game, the Falcons take the field next weekend at Kent State in another pivotal series as the Golden Flashes sit one spot ahead of BG in second place in the East division.

offense in the third, the Chippewas scored another three runs in the inning to go up 3-0. Two more runs in the fifth inning would push the score to 5-0 going into the seventh. Three of the Bowling Green hits came in the final inning and Haley Schrock hit a double to add two RBIs to her stat sheet and close the gap 5-2. However, it would not be enough as the next two batters were forced out to end the game and shut the door on the Falcons for the tournament. The next game in the two-game series between the teams came as a 3-2 win for the Falcons, but it was not enough ending the Bowling Green season. It was the last game for seniors Shelby Fink, Chloe Giordano, Emily McClelland and Jamie Kertes in a Falcon uniform.

maintain focus and finish preparations for our most important meet of the season.” In addition to the records, Arnold earned another MAC automatic qualifying mark in the long jump. She earned a season best mark of 19 feet 4 inches and moved to second in the MAC. Kyla Paster also set a new personal best in the event with a mark of 17 feet 2.75 inches. Taylor Rambo saw some movement in her conference rankings in the 400, running a time of 55.92 seconds. Her last personal best was set two years ago at the MAC champi-
onships with a time of 56.51 seconds. She is now ranked eighth in the MAC for the event. Sophomore Makenzie Wheat has continued to show promise in the throws section, competing in the shot put for the Falcons. Wheat threw a 50 feet 3.5 inch mark to place third overall at the meet. The throw was the fifth best throw in BGSU history. The team is now two weekends away from the MAC Championship meet. The Falcons will compete at the Toledo Invitational this Thursday and Friday for their last regular season competition.

DISNEY ON Ice, along with other star skaters, came to the University Saturday, May 2 to perform for Skate for Hope.
SKATE From Page 1 make the kids who had cancer feel empowered, so I decided to combine fundraising and ice skating into one solid event.” Bongirno manages everything from contacting skaters to managing finances. The very first show took two years to plan and she works on every other show ten months out of the year. Host for the show and Vice President of the board for Skate for Hope Patrick Higgins said that the cause stems from deeper roots. “Carolyn and I were friends and OSU grads,” Higgins said. “When Carolyn turned 33, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. She decided to turn the diagnosis over into something positive, so Skate for Hope became her brainchild.” The show and not-for-profit organization is dedicated to cancer research, awareness and health education. The group of male and female headliners for the event opened up the show with high energy dancing and skating to Bruno Mars’ hit, “Uptown Funk.” After the opening scene, Bongirno came out on stage and gave a few remarks, thanking vendors and sponsors for participating in the show. “Skate for Hope is a huge commitment,” Bongirno said. “It’s dancers, tickets, costumes, rehearsals. Because of them, we’re gonna have a great party tonight, so enjoy the show!” The show was divided into two acts with an intermission in between. A group of pink-haired ladies and one male performed a routine and dedicated a cancer medal to one of their members, who is a cancer survivor. Other performers included groups of girls from Bowling Green middle and high schools and ten headliners. The headliners performed the major scenes of the night. Performances ranged from regal and serious to funny and whimsical, with group, duo and single performances. Headliners included Olympian, U.S. national silver medalist and Skate for Hope alum Emily Hughes; four time U.S. national champion and 2010 and 2014 Olympian Jeremy Abbott; University

Other special performances of the night included Mac McDonald or “Coach Mac,” a motivational speaker, the Children’s Choir of Northwest Ohio and a raffle for items ranging from an Elsa doll from Disney’s “Frozen” movie signed by Gilles to a cancer fleece blanket. Coach Mac gave some inspirational words between performances to the kids who were in the audience. “Never be afraid to approach someone who has cancer, because you guys give us the energy to keep fighting,” Coach Mac said. “I’m a cancer survivor, and there’s nothing I like more than kicking cancer in the teeth, cause cancer doesn’t like when you have a great attitude.” Alissa Czisny said it’s always good to come home and be a part of a great cause. “I grew up in Bowling Green, graduated in 2009 and now live in Detroit, so I have 18 years of memories here,” Czisny said. “It’s always so nice to use a talent I was given and use what I have to give back to other people.” Alexe Gilles agrees. “This is actually my fifth year doing Skate for Hope,” Gilles said. “I did it down in Columbus and now here. It’s always heartwarming to have kids with cancer come up to me and be inspired and all you can do is be positive, tell them to push through.” Gilles is currently on the Princesses and Heroes tour and will be traveling to Dubai and South America in the coming weeks. Audience members enjoyed the show. “We loved it and now she wants to be an ice skater,” said Shay Vaquera about her daughter, Katie. Junior Ashley Hillis and her mother liked the show as well. “It’s always a real treat to see things like this for such a specialcause,” Hillis said.
