More than 41 years of higher education experience made Carol Cartwright an easy choice for interim president. The University Board of Trustees chose Cartwright, president of Kent State University from 1991-2006, as interim to replace current President Sidney Ribeau, who leaves to head Howard University in Washington D.C. in August. Cartwright will assume her

City and University officials are attempting to bridge the gap between University students living off campus and Bowling Green residents. The Off-Campus Student Services Advisory Board of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, city officials and residents began meeting in January to plan events that will help students living off campus and city residents live side by side in peace. Those involved with the board are bringing forth both student and resident issues. “As an attorney at Student Legal Services, I hear the student side of the tension,” said Rodney Fleming, managing attorney at SLS. Fleming said he represents students living off-campus, often those charged with a noise complaint. “Not all students are having these parties,” he said. “This doesn’t apply to the vast majority.” Students should not be treated like an “Animal House” stereotype, he added. The board is looking at what the University currently provides for students living off campus and what the University could be doing, said Assistant Dean of Students and chair of OCSSAB Andy Alt. City Planning Director Rick Ketzenbarger said the board hopes to have a Web site to help students that will be available this fall. “This will be something we hope to have in place by August,” he said. The board is also planning a “Welcome BG” event on Sept. 13. USG Representatives, city officials and volunteers are going to stuff 4,500 bags with city coupons and walk door-to-door. The volunteers are going to off-campus student residencies, introducing themselves and inviting the student residents to the “Welcome BG” picnic. Alt is hoping that walking doorto-door will allow students to meet city officials and long-term city resi-

State. “For someone to hold the position for [that] long means they did a good job.” Kent State President Lester Lefton had nothing but good things to say about Cartwright. “Dr. Cartwright’s vast knowledge of the Ohio educational and political landscape was invaluable to me as the new president of Kent State,” Lefton said. “I am sure that same knowledge will facilitate her transition at BGSU.”

USG President John Waynick has his hands full this summer with plans to make campuswide improvements and put the University on the map. Waynick said USG members are using the summer to build crucial relationships with University administrators and community leaders for the upcoming school year. “You really got to get to know administration on a first name basis,” Waynick said. USG is also working this summer on two main projects that involve painting the University Falcon logo on Wooster Street and the I-75 highway exits and a campus-wide beautification project. The campus beautification project will involve making improvements to buildings and other open areas on campus in view of students and visitors. Waynick said his group has started working with the University to fix some areas of concern. The Falcon logo project is headed up by Jeremy Lehman, who serves as USG City, State and National Liaison. Lehman said USG has written their proposal and has the funding necessary to complete the project, but is still working with the Ohio Department of Transportation to set the actual painting process in motion. “We are dealing with closing down streets, so going through the bureaucracy is not going to be easy,” Lehman said. Once the project is finished, the University will be one of a

Students visiting one of the carry-outs on campus who crave that perfect drink may come out empty handed, but before organizing protests, consider the reasoning behind the sometimes bare shelves. According to Daria BlachowskiDreyer, associate director of nutrition initiatives, the University is under contract with distributors in the area that dictate what products are available. “Take our beverage distributor for example,” Dreyer said. “We go through Coca Cola, which means 80 percent of the drinks we carry must be a Coke product, that is why you don’t see
Mountain Dew on our shelves.” The other 20 percent of beverages sold on campus are at the discretion of dining services, she said. “We are always open to suggestions from students of new products; we have comment boxes that we take very seriously,” she said. Some students wonder why the controversial energy drink Red Bull is not available on campus. Dreyer pointed toward a combination of reasons for not allowing Red Bull on the shelves including contract stipulations and medical reasons. “There have been no long-term studies related to the effects, either positive or negative, that energy drinks have on young adults,” Dreyer said. “Also, our Red Bull dis-
“We are always open to suggestions from students of new products; we have comment boxes that we take very seriously.” Daria Blachowski-Dreyer | Associate director of nutrition initiatives tributes their own product and we do not contract with them.” Robin Bruning, a University food service coordinator in charge of purchasing, tells the story a little differently. According to Bruning, most MidAmerican Conference schools she’s dealt with sell Red Bull. “It took me three years to get Monster and Full Throttle (energy drink) on shelves, and I have asked about Red Bull, but we probably won’t see that on campus,” Bruning
said. “Honestly, it could be considered a mixer for alcohol.” Ironically enough, there are two slush machines in Chily’s carry out with flavors such as Margarita and Strawberry Daiquiri, both popular alcoholic beverages. “That’s a little different,” Bruning said. “We try to bring products to students that are fun, and there is no alcohol in the drink.” Bruning said Red Bull is difficult to put on the shelves because it is not only sold in local stores, but is
heavily promoted in bars. “When I was young, the hip thing to drink was Boilermakers, which is a beer cocktail, kind of like how kids are drinking Jager Bombs now with Red Bull,” Bruning said. Some students on campus are upset that dining services is dictating what students can and cannot buy on campus. Sophomore Chelsea Miles is an avid Red Bull drinker and has a meal plan on campus. “It’s ridiculous that I can’t buy Red Bull on campus, but I can walk into Black Swamp Pub and get hammered,” she said. “I am old enough to make my own mind … a University is supposed to be a liberal [and] open-minded place where I can make my own decisions on what I want to ingest.”

Buttonwood Avenue closed today Buttonwood Avenue, between Pearl Street and Ordway Avenue, will be closed today from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The City’s Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection Division will make a sewer repair during that time. Some parking restrictions will be posted. Residents will have access to their homes and driveways.
Lefton also noted Cartwright’s ability to deal with decreased state funding as an invaluable quality. “She’s not afraid to make the tough decisions,” Cowan said. Ribeaualsohadpositivethings to say about Cartwright, since he worked with her on higher education issues in 1995 when he started at the University until 2006 when she left Kent State. “We are very fortunate to attract someone of her caliber ... [that] will help us maintain our momentum,” Ribeau said. He said Kent State and Bowling Green are so similar that Cartwright can literally hit the ground running. “She doesn’t really need any advice,” Ribeau said, but he plans to fill her in on recent changes at the University, such as the update to the strategic plan. Cartwright said in a phone interview that she plans to nurture the process to make sure there’s a good platform for the University’s next president, since there are some excellent initiatives already underway. Cartwright also has a good

[and] probably one of the most highly respected presidents in the state of Ohio,” Stoll said. Kathy Stafford, vice president for University relations at Kent State, worked with Cartwright very closely during her tenure and said she did not know if Cartwright had any free time. “She works an awful lot,” Stafford said. “They don’t get any better than Carol as president.” After retiring, Cartwright now has free time to spend visiting her grandchildren, gardening and traveling. “I like to cook a lot,” she said.

few colleges in the nation to paint school logos on streets leading up to campus. Lehman said USG is hoping to start the actual painting in the fall, but expects the I-75 exit ramps to take longer. To find funding for these projects, Waynick said USG has been talking with the University to help gain support. “We pitched it to administration that these projects are an investment,” Waynick said. “It has been going really well so far.” Waynick said this year his staff is also working to try and gain more support from alumni instead of relying solely on the University, which has its own financial concerns with less state funding and declining enrollment. One change students can expect to see this fall will be added bus routes to main street. USG was able to work with the University in cutting unnecessary bus routes in order to provide the transportation without the added costs
off campus, there may be many things that they do not know, Alt said. They may not always know when trash pickup is going to happen or how to maintain their property. Alt is hoping the “Welcome BG” event will better educate students living off-campus and allow them to meet residents who are not students. The “Welcome BG” picnic is not the only event Alt has in the works for the future. Off-Campus Student Services is going to be coordinating a housing fair Nov. 20. According to the Off-Campus Student Services Web site, there are usually over 25 rental agencies that attend the event. There will also be education and informative sessions students can attend
to better prepare themselves for living off-campus. Fleming is positive that the OCSSAB will help both students and long-term residents. “I think that [the OCSSAB] is a great opportunity for students and more permanent residents to come together and share ideas,” he said. Alt agrees with this sentiment and is hopeful both the housing fair and “Welcome BG” events will further the progress of preparing students to live off-campus. “Students and longer term residents can both realize that living next to each other can be a positive experience and be beneficial for both people,” Alt said, “but people need to work together in order to get that to happen.” As for the actual move off cam-

Suber is one of many students in support of the bus route changes for transportation to Main Street. “I definitely like the bussing idea,” Suber said. “It’s a good way to keep people out of trouble.” Adding bus transportation was one of the main concerns for students this past spring with electing new leaders of USG. Waynick said he wanted to make sure he came through with his promises he made to the students he represents. “It has been a huge thing in the past that we [USG] really don’t do anything,” Waynick said. “We want to break that stereotype.”

University and China open study abroad opportunities By Angie Burdge Reporter
University business students and faculty could be traveling to China in the upcoming academic year thanks to new partnerships with two Chinese universities. Rodney Rogers, dean of the College of Business Administration, and Mark Bennion, coordinator of the college’s study abroad programs, have recently returned from China after signing agreements for exchange programs with Hong Kong Baptist University and the University of Macau. While the Education Abroad Office only assisted with the negotiations, they will become more involved later in the process when the College of Business Administration sends students over as early as next spring semester. According to Bennion, there is room for 30 students and seven have signed up already. In addition, there will also be a study abroad program with Hong Kong Baptist and internship opportunities with both universities. Students who participate in the programs will be living in dorms with other international students. Following a week-long orientation to the program and to Chinese culture, participants will be paired with a Chinese student whose job is to “take them under their wing,” Bennion said.
Rogers said immersing students into the classroom in this way is very unusual for most exchange programs. For students wary about learning a foreign language, don’t fear. Students won’t have to learn Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese, as all classes are taught in English. And while the program is aimed at business majors who get the first opportunity to sign up, all majors are welcome. The Macau program might be especially beneficial for those studying tourism or hospitality management since Macau is, as Bennion points out, the “gaming center of Asia,” including a new Venetian casino that employs around 60,000 people, making it the second largest building in the world. Bennion, who initially started all of the contacts to create the new programs, said he hopes students will gain insight concerning international orientation, the ability to adapt and succeed in different environments and an introduction to the American role in the world from this opportunity. “One of the most important things to do as a student is to leave your comfort zone,” Bennion said. “If you can step outside your comfort zone and succeed, you are a special commodity in the business world.” The agreements came at an opportune time, as U.S. and China business dealings have increased from $33 billion in
1992 to more than $386 billion in 2007, according to U.S. State Department figures. College of Business Administration faculty members will also have a chance to participate in the new faculty exchange program. This would allow University professors to travel to China to teach similar business classes while bringing Chinese professors to Bowling Green. University marketing professor Dwayne Gremler said he would consider the faculty exchange program in China, as he has taught abroad several times, including the Netherlands in 2006. Gremler said teaching in China would allow University professors to gain a more global perspective on marketing and other issues they could share with students. “Having already traveled throughout Europe and benefited tremendously from the experiences, I would hope my colleagues would be open to whatever learning may present itself in the Far East, a very fascinating part of the world,” he said. These newest study abroad programs are part of larger efforts to make contacts with universities in all parts of the world. Next on Bennion’s list is Scotland. Bennion is in the early stages of negotiations with the University of Aberdeen, a very well respected business school in Europe. Students can expect more news about that program as early as 2010.

Racial privilege: an uneven playing field Travelin’ the Globe: CONRAD PRITSCHER | COLUMNIST In talking to a certain group of people, I have been told to be more subtle and less direct. The “group of people” are whites and what I am to be less direct about is racism. When it comes to racism, some think I am accusing white people for not acknowledging the privileges they have as a result of their skin color. The accusations are only partly unjust in that our schools and universities have programmed whites and people of color to maintain the status quo. Maintaining the status quo means changing racism ever so slowly so that the changes will not inconvenience white people. Rarely do we want to be inconvenienced but the inconvenience may be worth bearing
with in order to eliminate a gross injustice that has been with our society for hundreds of years. It is easy to allow the old programming to continue racial injustice. The old programming tells us that racism has been with us for a long time and it is not going to change quickly. Also the old programming tells us that we can’t do anything about it because “that’s the way things are.” If each of us is responsible for what goes on in our minds, it may be worthwhile to look at what efforts may be needed to reduce racism. Injustices are only temporarily convenient for certain individuals and groups. Sound thinking leads us to note, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, “A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Informing ourselves is at times
inconvenient, but in the long run, we may find it much more convenient to be informed. One way of being informed is to Google the name Peggy McIntosh. You may find that her research about unacknowledged privileges of white people may be accurate. As a result of being informed, you may wish to further discuss this matter with other white people. When we have been playing on an uneven field for so many years we forget that the playing field has been uneven. Can you imagine a game where the white people have been playing downhill and the people of color have been playing up-hill? You may have heard, and I believe it is often true, that a black person in our society often needs to be twice as good as a
white person in order to hold the same job as a white person. One of the things people like me often forget in communicating about touchy topics is that it helps to be compassionate to all individuals and groups. I do not wish to inconvenience white people by bringing up racism, but after looking into the matter for many years, I have concluded that it would be worth the inconvenience for white people to be better informed about unacknowledged privileges they have. Acknowledging these privileges and discussing them with other white people can lead to heartwarming feelings of worthwhile accomplishment. — Respond to Conrad at thenews@bgnews.com.

Getting to know the subways Alison Kemp Columnist
BROOKLYN — The subway can be an amazing thing. In New York City, it can take you practically anywhere any time of the day. And you’re never very far from a station. Even though I love this public transportation, it can have its downfalls. I’ve had some memorable trips, such as some late-night rides and my first ride to work. These would have made goodenough columns. But the subway decided to outdo itself just so I could write about it. I had just spent the afternoon in Prospect Park, which is Brooklyn’s version of Manhattan’s Central Park. I was hot, hungry, thirsty and tired. I walked down to the platform and one of the trains I can take home was still waiting for passengers. I thought it was my lucky day. It was everything but. The conductor came onto the intercom to say that we weren’t moving because the signal was out on whatever it is that’s used to keep track of the location of the trains. It was only out between the station we were at and the next two stations. There was no use getting off the train because no other train could enter the station until we left. And I wasn’t walking home because not only did I not know the directions for walking home, but I was tired of being hot. So I waited. And waited. About 15 minutes later the conductor apologized again,
saying that the problem would have to be manually fixed and we had to wait until that happened before we could move. Moving forward would have meant not knowing where any other trains are on the tracks, which could easily have been deadly. Finally we moved, but we didn’t make it to the next station. So we were stuck in a tunnel without air conditioning. Another 15 minutes later we moved safely forward, problem fixed. My other subway travels are nowhere near as unfortunate as that was, but the late-night trains can be somewhat tricky. Different trains run on different tracks and they do not arrive as frequently. To make a late-night ride even better, make the trip on a weekend. The weekends are when the transit workers fix problems, repair stations and the like. So not only do trains run on different tracks, they also don’t run their full routes. For instance, two weekends ago I got on the 3 train, which runs to my stop. But because of construction on the 3 route, the end of the line was much earlier than normal. So I got on a 5 train. It also had a shorter line. I was one stop away, but I had to make another change. The lesson I learned from this is that it is important to read the signs posted on the trains and in the stations that say what the weekend changes are. Had I read them, I would have known to avoid both of those trains. So many transfers really extend the time it takes to get anywhere, and extending rides is something that should be avoided at all costs, especially when you live in Brooklyn.

The makings of free will and spirituality Recession in the USA, or lack thereof Levi Joseph Wonder Columnist
I had yet another typical college student realization the other day. Experiencing it was about as unsettling as seeing Charles Bronson come back from the dead to tell me that I’m pregnant with his alien baby. To be specific, I was pondering the concept of spirituality and
organized religion (something I do far too often) a few days ago. Afterwards, I came to the realization that if I was raised in an impoverished and destitute family, my belief in a divine creator(s) or my dedication to organized religion would probably be stronger. Inversely, I realized that if I was born into a rich family and had an easy, over-pampered lifestyle, then my beliefs would be more of the atheist or apathetic persuasion. Coming from a middle class family, however, I guess it’s no

surprise that I fall somewhere into the middle ground of those two spiritual belief extremes. And that’s precisely where my feelings of disconcertion stem from. It’s quite nerve-shredding (to me, at least) to understand that my spiritual beliefs can be partially determined by my family’s financial background and how I was raised! That’s trippy. Even without the Charles Bronson reference. It’s one of those things that really (and I mean really) makes me question whether or not we humans possess free will or not.

Oh no! The United States is in a recession, everybody panic! Except, according to the definition, we’re not. Officially, a recession is defined as two consecutive quarters, or six consecutive months, of negative economic growth. And according to Forbes, we’re not quite there, yet. The economy is creeping though, and we may slip into a recession very soon. But then why does everyone
keep using the R-word? It’s true. Tune to any news network for about an hour and you’ll probably have to take off your shoes in order to count the number of times ‘recession’ pops up. Come on, news-media, call it what it is: a slump. A big, long, ugly slump. So be careful when watching and reading the news, otherwise you might think we’re headed straight for the Great Depression v. 2. But it doesn’t look like we’ll be making that mistake again. Here’s a history lesson. When the economy went into a slump before the Depression, our government, in an effort to balance the federal budget, actually cut government spending.
As it turns out, this makes an ordinary recession much worse. Instead, government is issuing those tasty little stimulus checks in an attempt to persuade us to buy stuff, which bolsters the economy and helps lift us out of a recession or the funk we’re in now. We’ll have to wait a little while to see how well this works. But one thing no stimulus package can do is restore faith in the economy. It’s awfully hard to be optimistic when every major news network is parading the R-word almost as much as [Hollywood starlet’s] latest [social faux pas]. Give me a

SIDELINES
Griffey Jr. joins 600 club Becomes sixth player in history to reach career milestone By Charlie McCarthy The Associated Press
Jennifer Roos was offered the first extended contract to an assistant coach in BGSU’s history. The University granted Roos, associate head coach of Women’s basketball, a multi-year contract that will run through June 30, 2013, parallel to that of head coach Curt Miller’s contract. Roos will be the first assistant coach in the Women’s basketball program’s 35-year existence and in the entire Athletic department to be granted a multi-year contract. Roos will become the only known female assistant coach in the Mid-American Conference to no longer serve under a year-toyear basis. Mike Birkbeck, associate head coach of the Kent State baseball team, is the lone male under similar circumstances. Roos’ main focus for the past seven years with the team has been defense. Since she earned the title of associate head coach in 2004, the Falcons have topped the MAC in overall scoring defense in three of the past four seasons.
FOOTBALL ESPNU to broadcast home opener The University football program, along with the Mid-American Conference and ESPN, has announced that the Falcons’ 2008 home opener versus the University of Minnesota has been selected by ESPN to be on ESPNU. The Sept. 6 game starts at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. The Minnesota game will mark the first time a Big Ten Conference school has faced the Falcons in Bowling Green. The remaining kickoff times for the Falcons’ 2008 season are set to be announced later this month. Head coach Gregg Brandon’s team will open the 2008 campaign at Pittsburgh on Aug. 30.

BEREA, Ohio — LeCharles Bentley is back in uniform for the Cleveland Browns.

Bentley passed a passed a physical and a running test Monday and was cleared by the Browns to return to the field, general manager Phil Savage said. “It’s been two years,” Savage said. “Obviously, he’s made a tremendous step to even be out here at all.” Bentley will participate in individual drills during the Browns’ three-day minicamp that started yesterday but doesn’t know when he can take part in contact drills.

He hasn’t played since. Following surgery to repair the tendon, a staph infection attacked the knee and Bentley needed three more surgeries. It remains to be seen whether Bentley can help the Browns, whose improved line was a major factor in the Browns’ high-scoring offense and 10-win season last year.

Winslow skipped the team’s voluntary organized team activities last month. He underwent offseason knee surgery but has also made it clear that he wants the Browns to redo his contract. Winslow, who missed most of his first two seasons in the league with injuries, has three more years left on a contract that the Browns restructured after he missed a year following a motorcycle accident.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tom Catlin, a longtime NFL assistant coach and a two-way star in the 1950s at the University of Oklahoma who played for Cleveland, has died. He was 76. Catlin died Saturday at a hospice in Seattle of complications stemming from recent surgery, said his brother, Charles Catlin, who added that his brother recently had Parkinson’s disease. Catlin was assistant head Tom coach and defen- Catlin sive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, where he coached from 1983-1995. He earlier worked as an assistant coach for the Dallas Texans and Kansas City Chiefs in the American Football League, then the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills in the NFL. Catlin played center and linebacker at OU from 1950-1952, and was a member of the Sooners’ 1950 squad that won the national championship under coach Bud Wilkinson.

BASKETBALL Jennifer Roos to receive multi-year contract
MIAMI — Ken Griffey Jr. insisted he never dreamed of joining baseball’s ultimate group of power hitters when he reached the majors 19 years ago. “My father hit 152 home runs, and that’s who I wanted to be like,” said Griffey, who hit his 600th career homer Monday night to join Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Sammy Sosa as the only players to do so. Griffey connected off Mark Hendrickson in the first inning of the Cincinnati Reds’ 9-4 victory over the Florida Marlins. The 38-year-old slugger hit a 3-1 pitch 413 feet into the right-field seats with Jerry Hairston on third and one out. “I was just trying to get a pitch I could hit and be as patient as possible,” Griffey said. “And I was fortunate enough to get a curveball I could drive.” Griffey started the season with 593 home runs despite numerous injuries in recent years, enough to make a lot of people wonder how many homers he could have had if he had stayed relatively healthy. “No, I don’t think about that,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “I appreciate where he is right now.” Paul Bako had his first career multihomer game, three-run and two-run shots‚ and Brandon Phillips added a solo homer in support of Edinson Volquez (9-2). Griffey ended the game 1-for-4 with a strikeout and an intentional walk. He exited in the middle of the eighth. Volquez gave up three runs, three hits, five walks and struck out five in six innings. Hairston left the game in the middle of the first after suffer-
like someone who isn’t thinking of retirement yet. “I enjoy baseball and as long as I can go out there and help a team win I’ll do it,” he said. Griffey, whose previous homer came May 31, wasn’t surprised No. 600 happened away from home. “Pretty much everybody knows my track record,” said Griffey, who hit his 400th and 500th home runs on the road, too. For people skeptical of that nonchalant attitude, Griffey explained he got it from his father, who played 19 seasons in the majors. Father and son were teammates in Seattle for two seasons. “He just told me as a kid, ‘Don’t get to high, don’t get too low, just be yourself,’” Griffey said. “I think that’s the one thing I take pride of.” Now, he also can take pride in having 448 more home runs than Ken Sr.

Hawthorne Heights makes up with label, owner uses PR to praise Obama By Quentin Kilpatrick Pulse Editor
Emo-rockers Hawthorne Heights ended a near twoyear legal battle with Victory Records as the large independent label agreed to drop their countersuit for breach of contract. The band attempted to leave the Chicago-based recording company in the months following a row over an e-mail from the label’s street team, laying out questionable tactics for the release of the band’s second album If Only “You Were Lonely”. “We now regret having begun the lawsuit we filed in 2006,” said drummer Eron Bucciarelli in the label’s press release. “We are sorry for having put Victory Records and (owner) Tony Brummel through this ordeal, and regret any negative publicity that may have resulted.” MTV reported that the protracted legal fight left the band in limbo, unable to enter a recording studio and touring relentlessly. That stopped in November 2007 with the intoxicantfueled death of guitarist Casey Calvert. The reconciliation process began in January and was finalized late last week. The drama began with what the label later called a “joke” e-mail from the head of their street team pitting the rock release as a struggle for the soul of popular music in America. The e-mail detailed strategies to ensure victory, not just for the label but Hawthorne Heights and by extension all of independent rock n’ roll. The email was incorrectly addressed from the band and fans were urged not only to purchase the new album but actually go into record stores to hide Def Jam recording artist Ne-Yo’s “In My Own Words,” which was also vying for the top seller in late February 2006. “ROCK music needs your support. Our society and culture has put rock music on

“Unfortunately, we cannot change the past, but we’re now taking steps to heal the wounds and start fresh.” Eron Bucciarelli | Drummer the back burner. If our album can debut at #1, all of us will have taken ROCK music back to the top of the charts where it belongs,” read part of the e-mail. And while many would question the characterization of the two artist’s simultaneous releases as an epic struggle that put independent rock up against mainstream hip hop and R&B, the bulldog-logo label took it a step further by drawing in Ne-Yo. “If you were to pick up a handful of Ne-Yo CDs as if you were about to buy them, but then changed your mind and didn’t bother to put them back in the same place, that would work … Even though this record will be heavily stocked and you might not be able to move all the stock, just relocating a handful creates issues. Even though the store will appear to be out of stock, the computer will see it as ‘in stock’ and not re-order the title ... then Ne-Yo will lose a few sales later in the week,” the e-mail read. The label quickly apologized for what they called a “bogus
joke” and the street tactics email’s effects were negligible if at all measurable. Ne-Yo’s In My Own Words reached number one anyway, with 301,000 copies sold in the first week. Hawthorne Heights’ “If Only You Were Lonely” peaked at #3 with 114,000 copies sold, behind the soundtrack to the Disney movie “High School Musical”, but still a major achievement for the label which has seen a few mass-market successes. With the Dayton, Ohio-based band again fully nestled under Victory’s wing, both parties are looking forward to the band’s Aug. 5 release of their third studio album “Fragile Future”. “Tony Brummel and Victory gave us our start, and did an unprecedented job with our first two albums. We hope they can repeat that success with our third studio album,” Bucciarelli said. “Unfortunately, we cannot change the past, but we’re now taking steps to heal the wounds and start fresh,” he said.

such as ClearChannel and MTV within the next month, according to Victory’s publicity director Annamarie Geraci. Hawthorne Heights has been one of the company’s best sellers, as its audience has grown in the last decade. Their 2004 debut “The Silence In Black And White” was Victory’s biggest, peaking at #5 and eventually going platinum. Despite negative publicity surrounding their second release, “If Only You Were Lonely” reached the “gold” record status of more than 500,000 sold along with Taking Back Sunday’s “Tell All Your Friends” (2002) and their 2004 follow-up “Where You Want To Be”. In an entirely unrelated and puzzling connection, Victory’s owner Tony Brummel linked their underdog ethos with Barack Obama securing the Democratic presidential ticket. “When Victory and Hawthorne started our relationship in 2003 it was always
Being the trendy college student that I am, I’m always looking for trendy places to find delicious sustenance. And now that these newfangled high-end fast food chains are becoming so popular these days, I decided to dive in and experience them for myself. The subjects at hand? Chipotle and Qdoba Mexican Grill. And I must say … If burritos from Chipotle and Qdoba were evidence in a court trial, I would gladly face five years in prison for evidence tampering to taste those succulent burritos. In other words, they’re quite tasty. My first excursion in pursuit of deliciousness took me to Chipotle Mexican Grill on East Wooster Street. Based on my experience there, Chipotle seems to be a speedoriented “gourmet burrito” place. With a supremely simple and easy-to-read menu broken down into instruction-like steps (order “this” with “these” and add “some of this” on top …), and a streamlined approach to customer service designed to expedite the burrito ordering process as much as possible, Chipotle is definitely focused on speedy burrito assembly. Heck, the place is so “on-thego” minded that they barely have any in-store seating for people to eat the old-fashioned way. You know … sitting down at a table. The menu is ridiculously slim as well. Although a few more food items would be ideal, Chipotle is focused on speedy gourmet food with a simplified ordering process, so the whole burritos and tacos thing works well.

KUNG FU CHARACTERS: Master Shifu (center), the legendary trainer of the Furious Five — (left to right) Viper, Monkey, Mantis, Tigress and Crane — sit in judgment of Shifu’s newest student.
‘Kung Fu Panda,’ animated movie master By Aaron Helfferich Film Critic
Quality filming techniques and memorable characters can make up some of the most enjoyable movies of all time. When these films turn out to be animated, the film can often be more enjoyable than expected. Last year, Pixar Animation Studios released yet another astounding animated film, “Ratatouille”. This year, they plan to do the same with a curious little robot named Wall-E. Another animation studio has always seemed to take a backseat to the Pixar hype. This year, however, with the help of a particular panda, Dreamworks Animation isn’t pulling any punches. “Kung Fu Panda” features an all-star voice cast. In the title role voicing a panda named Po, Jack Black lends not only his voice, but his charismatic persona as well. Po, like Black, is fun-loving and full of energy while his own gestures are mimicked seamlessly in Po’s animation. As a helping hand in his father’s noodle shop, Po dreams hopelessly of one day becoming a legendary warrior of kung fu, until the high master inadvertently names him as the next dragon warrior. Due to Po’s
dramatic size and increased appetite, kung fu trainer Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) has reluctant disbelief when he meets his new trainee. While the majority of the film pokes fun at the panda’s size, the heart and style of a classic kung fu film is in full force. The filmmakers brilliantly take the time to capture the quick cuts and fast focusing camera zooms that have become a staple of martial arts films. Thankfully, in “Panda,” they use this technique to heighten the hilarity of our gleeful main character. We are even treated to light-hearted moments between Hoffman and Black, when his training montage becomes more believable than we expected. As a children’s film, you would expect the voices of actors to be unknowingly dismissed by the young audience. “Kung Fu Panda” misses a step when the excessive voice casting is misunderstood even by the standpoint of the older audience. Having Hoffman and Black is a gem of interaction, but casting Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu is an obvious overkill when the short runtime reduces their lines to a transparent minimum. Lines by Seth Rogen are better served and inevitably memorable, but
‘KUNG FU PANDA’ CRITIC’S RATING: Three stars out of four LETTER GRADE: B RUNTIME: 92 min. RATED: PG for sequences of martial arts action VOICES: Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Seth Rogen DIRECTOR: Mark Osborne and John Stevenson
his voice has little connection to the character of a mantis. The efforts of casting so many well known names is only a worthwhile tactic as long as the producers are willing to give them ample screen time. With this film, their resources could have been spent in more worthy areas. Seeing this as a fault of a film is an unnecessary critique. A-list actors or not, “Kung Fu Panda” has the perfect amount of humor and character that makes it directly relevant to both children and adults.
Memorable films are the ones that grab your attention with outlandish characters or unique scripts. At the same time, saying a film is memorable is not always relative to the measure of quality a film may have. “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” is a film from Adam Sandler that, although it may be memorable, is equally distasteful and insipidly uninspiring. Even for Sandler die-hards, this is going to be a tough sell. “Zohan” is one of those films that feels like it was thrown together after a night of excessive drinking while watching newsreels about the war in the Middle East. Sandler plays Zohan, whom we meet on a beach full of awestruck, bikiniclad women surrounding a group of Israeli men playing hacky sack. Zohan, at the center of attention, exhibits a plethora of superhuman skills. Just after he clenches a fish with his bare buttocks, we learn that Zohan’s real day job is a counter terrorist agent. With skills like catching bullets with his teeth, swimming like a dolphin and disarming villains in a millisecond, Zohan may seem like a perfect fit for his violent lifestyle. However, Zohan has a higher and remotely notable dream that prompts him to leave his country in search of his calling to be a hairdresser. Now, armed only with his scissors and Paul Mitchell’s book of hairstyles from the 80s, Zohan sets off to America with the ambition to create hairstyles and sexual favors that no women would ever want.
‘YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN’ CRITIC’S RATING: Half of a star out of four LETTER GRADE: DRUNTIME: 113 min. RATED: PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, language and nudity. STARRING: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Rob Schneider DIRECTOR: Dennis Dugan
“Zohan” is a political satire that is filled to the brim with racial stereotypes that discredit the assumed nature of the film. What seemingly looks to be a humorous film about an immigrant who wishes to cut and style hair, Zohan gears its jokes towards the ongoing feud in the Middle East while further stereotyping their characters. If Sandler’s intention was truly to promote peace among the Palestinians and Israelis, his efforts have done everything to poke fun at it rather than aid it. The most memorable Adam Sandler films treat their audiences with a level of integrity or tender resonance among its often immature, but sometimes clever, humor. Sadly, but with no surprise “Zohan” is Sandler’s most disruptive, distasteful and worst film. It will only be remembered for its blatant absurdity. If Rachael Ray can’t get away with wearing a scarf in a Dunkin’ Donuts ad, why should Sandler get away with this garbage?

WONDER From Page 4 Taking a philosophy class last semester didn’t really help to clarify things, either. I learned a metric ton of information about philosophical theories that I didn’t even know existed, and it was truly a great part of the college experience for me, but it didn’t set anything in stone. In fact, it showed me that when it comes to philosophical issues such as spirituality, the whole thing is about as clear as a glass cage filled up with black ink. The ambiguity is so frustrating that it makes me want to rip out all (and I mean all) of my hair and use it as fuel to keep a fire burning to warm my nonhairy body. And then the ambiguity gets a punch in the face when it comes back to the predictability issue. I find it positively sickening that my spiritual beliefs could be stronger or weaker based on my family’s background. It’s almost as if I have absolutely no say in the matter!

And if I’m neither, which I am, then I’ll probably go through that standard phase of spiritual searching and questioning from seventh grade to late college, if not later. But that’s the way things are sometimes. Or, am I just merely propagating stereotypes with this column? I very well might be. Check this out: Everyone’s heard of the single-child rich kid with too many toys who’s proud of being an atheist. Everyone’s heard of the impoverished kid who prays to God on a regular basis because his or her family is having trouble putting food on the table. And EVERYONE knows the thought of having tea tomorrow morning instead of coffee is absolutely paralyzing. So the next time you’re watching CNN and the latest on the recession pops up, do something that will help our economy. Bake a cake. No, really. You’ll use a lot of products that have to be produced domestically, such as flour and eggs, maybe even sugar. And if everyone bakes a cake, there will be a surge in demand for

I just labeled myself as a stereotype. That’s really sad. But is there any truth in it? There’s definitely got to be more to the whole “I can predict what your spiritual beliefs will be based on how much money your family makes” thing than that. Besides, I know a few financially-advanced kids who are ardent believers of their faith, and I know a few die-hard atheists who are not financiallyadvanced. I guess I’m trying to say that family wealth can be a possible indicator of how strong one’s faith will be in his or her later years, and not a foolproof measuring tool.

DETROIT — John Lawrence Locher has accomplished many things in his 90 years, including living through the Great Depression, fighting in the Pacific during World War II and a long career with General Motors. But missing was the diploma whose pursuit he abandoned in the early 1930s to help feed his family in Detroit. Locher checked it off his list, wearing his cap and gown in DetroitSouthwesternHighSchool’s 2008 commencement ceremonies Monday night — more than 70
years after he dropped out. “I feel 100 percent lighter,” he said. “I appreciate this moment very much. ... It really was overwhelming.” The school sent the General Motors Corp. retiree an honorary diploma for “life credits” this past winter to his home in Cape Coral, Fla. Southwestern Principal Garnet R. Green later said Locher’s family had contacted the school about the diploma and allowing him to participate in commencement. “When I opened it up, I almost fainted,” Locher said a few hours before the ceremony from his daughter’s home outside Lansing. “I thought someone was playing a

real cruel joke on me.” Locher left school after 10th grade, with the city and rest of the country mired in the Depression and his father suffering from tuberculosis. “My family was starving, literally,” he said. “I had to make some provision to make money. I was the oldest. I had a paper route. I did all kinds of work. I worked one place for 33 cents an hour, and I worked my fanny off.” He latched onto GM in 1936. “I worked 38 years with GM,” he said proudly. “I was a senior design engineer at the time, and I didn’t have a high school diploma. God has been really good to me.”

Murder Junkies to play Frankie’s GRILLS From Page 6
WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MURDERJUNKIES
MODERN JUNKIES: from left: Merle Allin, PP Duvay, Dino Sex and Scotty Wood
Infamous as GG Allin’s backing band, The Murder Junkie’s are playing at Frankie’s on June 22. Formed in 1991 while Allin was still in prison for a reduced rape and torture sentence, the band’s performances were largely known for his controversial and outrageous antics like urinating and defecating on stage as well as being violent and abusive towards crowds and himself. Footage of the band’s last performance with Allin is in the 1994 Todd Philips documentary “Hated.” After trashing a small New York City club and parading through the streets naked, covered in his own blood and feces and surrounded by a crowd, he overdosed on heroin later that night. Aside from GG, two out of three

of the original band members remain — GG’s brother Merle Allin on bass and Dino Sex on drums. Singing is PP Duvay of N.Y.-punk band “They Hate Us” with Scotty Wood on guitar. Since reuniting 10 years after GG’s death in 2003, the band has played with CKY and country music’s outlaw-grandson Hank Williams III.
(scarlet, black and white/sliver) adds a splash of color to the “industrial-interior-meetsnative-Mexican” décor scheme, and the outdoor tables are a nice touch. But it’s the food that counts. After being served a most tasty fajita burrito in a doublewrapped tortilla (in less than 60 seconds, to boot!) for a little over $5, I was greeted by a flavor explosion (no, not literally) of different ingredients all coming together to make the best darn overstuffed burrito I’ve had in a long time. The prognosis? I approve. Those Chipotle people make a painfully delicious burrito (in a good way). Afterwards, I visited the Qdoba Mexican Grill on Main Street to see how their burritos chalk up to Chipotle. Upon walking into the restaurant, my first visual impressions gave me the idea that Qdoba has the same focus on speed that Chipotle advertises
so proudly, only Qdoba is more directed towards dining in. With a few organized rows of benches and tables arranged in the front of the place, Qdoba is definitely a better place to sit down and eat a gargantuan burrito (no offense to Chipotle, but their tables are a wee bit too small for me). The menu for Qdoba is much like an expanded version of Chipotle’s offerings: whereas Chipotle focuses on burritos and tacos, Qdoba offers those items as well as foodstuffs like salads, quesadillas, nachos and even kids meals. Qdoba has a more family-esque feel to it, as evidenced by its menu offerings. Interior-wise, the decorative scheme is a bit less cuttingedge corrugated steel and more southwestern-style earth tones and non-minimal signage. Whereas Chipotle almost felt like a burrito factory, Qdoba felt like an actual restaurant. But don’t get me wrong; I like the industrial stylings of Chipotle just as much. And then came the food. And it was awesome.
However, I’m pretty sure I had a severe case of burrito-consumption deja-vu during my visit to Qdoba, because my second fajita burrito was as equally gut-wrenchingly scrumptious as the first! Not to sound like someone who can’t make up his mind, but my burrito from Qdoba was as equally delicious from the one I had at Chipotle! Sure, the peppers were a wee bit overdone, and they didn’t use enough cilantro in the rice for my taste, (at Chipotle, they use a good amount of cilantro to season the rice), but it was still an ambrosia-class burrito. The final word? Supremo. Qdoba burritos are big, steamy and overloaded with tasty goodness. All in all, I really couldn’t find too many differences in the two different burritos I bought. Aside from minor ingredient differences, both places make some incredibly incredible burritos. For the six of you who haven’t had a Chipotle or Qdoba burrito yet, get out to one of the stores and get busy eating; you won’t regret it.
