While most in his original freshmen class are either graduating from college or taking graduate classes, Donovan Powell is now back in the U.S. and ready for the rest of his life to start. After just a few semesters at the University, Powell decided to join the Marine Corp. in 2002. “I just wasn’t ready for college at the time,” Powell said. “I wanted to do something bigger with my life.” Powell’s timing couldn’t have been worse, with the US just coming off the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. With the U.S. on the brink of war, Powell’s family urged him not to join the service for fear he would be sent to war. “I didn’t want him to join the service because we knew a war

President Sidney Ribeau’s last University Board of Trustee meeting was full of good-byes, thank yous and business as usual. RibeauwelcomedCarolCartwright to the University at the meeting, confident the board and the campus are in good hands. “Now it’s time for Dr. Cartwright to focus the University,” he said. Board chair Michael Marsh gave Ribeau a “BGTownie” hat as a reminder of his 13 years at the University. Marsh’s term as chair ended and board member John Harbal was picked to replace him. Then the board got to work. Personnel changes made since the board’s last meeting were approved, as well as granting Trustee Professorship to secretary to the board Linda Dobb for her years of serving with distinction. The Wolfe Center for the Arts construction was approved and is scheduled to begin in April 2009. Expected completion of the $40 million project is January 2011. University Chief Financial Officer Sherideen Stoll said state capital appropriations would pay for $38 million for the project, with private funds paying the difference. The center is supposed to bring together the facilities currently scattered across campus, including performance, design and instructional

CHANGE OF SCENERY: El Zarape’s move to a new location has resulted in good business. The added benefits from moving have been 40 extra seats, increased visibility and proximity to Wooster Street. “The customer flow has increased notably, as is common with any new business, but we hope to maintain the flow increase permanently,” said El Zarape General Manager David Olivarez.
Vegetarians look for best option
By Jasmine Nash Reporter
Some on-campus students find the number of vegetarian options offered by the University few and far between. Sophomore Natalie O’Brien is one of those students. “I think at times the campus provided decent food for vegetarians, but more often than not, finding a well balanced, healthy and affordable vegetarian option was hard,” she said.

The Bowling Green Evening Lions Club wants to help out those who cannot afford glasses or an eye exam in the Wood County area. According to public information officer Robert Segna, the Bowling Green Lions Club is a volunteer service organization that helps those in need in Bowling Green. They have many projects they work on, such as Christmas Food Baskets for the Needy, Little League Uniforms and Lions Sight and Hearing Projects, Segna said. But one of the primary projects is Blindness Prevention, Sight Preservation and raising funds for families that cannot afford eye glasses and exams, he said. A fundraiser was held at Kroger this past Saturday and Sunday, with a table set up for donations. Club President Sandra Metzger said it was the third year for the successful fundraiser. She said people are grateful and sometimes tell her a stories
“When people come up to us at the fundraiser and they thank us for helping someone in their family, it is very rewarding...” Sandra Metzger | Club President about how the donations have helped them. “When people come up to us at the fundraiser and they thank us for helping someone in their family, it is very rewarding to know that they recognize the Lions Club for our mission to serve others,” she said. She added that when people donated money, members handed out flags. Another fundraiser to support eye care needs is July 3 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Wendy’s, located at 1504 East Wooster St. Segna said Wendy’s will donate 15 percent of their total sales to the Bowling Green Lions Club. There will also be a table set up inside with information about
the Lions Club and a box for collecting glasses, he said. Glasses are collected throughout the year around Bowling Green at places such as Wendy’s, Ben Franklin, Kroger Pharmacy and others. The eyeglasses are given to an organization called VOSH — Volunteer Optometrists Serving Humanity — and they redistribute them to people in third world countries, Segna said. Metzger said she hopes a lot of people will come and support the organization. “It is our first fundraiser at Wendy’s and we are hoping people come out and join us for dinner,” she said. Funds collected during the

fundraisers will be distributed when people go to the Wood County Health Department and speak to Peggy Naus, a public health nurse. Naus said people call the health department and then fill out a referral form. After the form is filled out, she decides which agency will fulfill the eye care need request. She said the Lions Club is the only agency that looks at the need first and not the income guidelines. Some Lions clubs only accept school-aged children, but Bowling Green Evening Lions Club accepts both children and adults, she said. If someone isn’t able to get a hold of the health department, they can call an agency on the ‘No Wrong Door’ list — which is a group of social service agencies helping residents in need — according to the Wood County ‘No Wrong Door’ pamphlet.
While some of the dining areas on campus do offer vegetarian substitutes, it is still not satisfying the students. Sophomore Candace Woodworth is not a vegetarian, but feels the school does not accommodate them as well as they could. “I know a couple people who are vegetarians who had a very hard time getting food that they could eat,” Woodworth said.

Phone cards help troops stay connected The Iraq War has been at the center of controversy nearly since its start. However, University professor Brett Holden realizes the most important element is not the war itself, but the troops. “Despite the way people feel about the war, the Vietnam experience has showed us that we need to help the people that we deploy,” Holden said. This is one of the reasons why Holden has partnered with Mike Przysiecki, 2003 graduate of the University and natural resources specialist at Bowling Green Parks and Recreation, and Margret Szymanski, member of the Family Readiness Group, to provide phone cards to troops through Operation Phone Card. Holden is also the director and faculty advisor of the Veteran Assessment and Service Team on campus. Operation Phone Card works with families of National Guard members, which includes Bowling Green residents. Przysiecki wanted to help troops deployed but was not sure how. First, he wanted to send care packages but realized that wasn’t what troops needed. “Everything they needed they have,” Przysiecki said. “What they needed most was phone cards.” Being a former member of the Ohio Air National Guard, Przysiecki realized there was a “very limited opportunity to call home and family members.” “I know what it’s like to be away from your family; it’s nice to know that people back home actually care,” Przysiecki said. “When guys get back, they feel disenfranchised because it’s business as usual at home.” While Przysiecki, who was deployed last summer, realizes Operation Phone Card will not help the troops once they are home, he does think staying in contact with family members will help to alleviate the feeling of disenfranchisement. Some troops have a baby on the way or children and are in dire need to contact their families back home, Przysiecki said. Szymanski, whose husband was just deployed to Kuwait this past Sunday, is already counting the days until he gets back. “It really helps to have that phone card handy ... if they’re out on a mission and they can squeeze in a 10 minute phone call,” Szymanski said. “I can’t tell you how much it means as a wife at home or to the kids.” Przysiecki sees the benefits of

According to Provost Shirley Baugher, the arts provide social and economic impact to the state, which is according to the governor’s 10-year Strategic Plan for Higher Education, stating each university must determine its centers of excellence. Small renovations were approved for Greek Units and the Harshman and Kreischer Residence halls in their common areas to be completed over the 2009 and 2010 summers.

His unit was charged with the mission to build and protect the city of Fallugia, which was a known hot spot for terrorist activity. Powell was trained as one of the machine gunners mounted on top of the humvees. Powell recalls his first week at Fallugia, when one of the members in his unit ran over a roadside bomb while driving through the city. The bomb that hit Powell’s unit was just a few cars ahead of his humvee. “Just that [attack] was the scariest thing because you’re thinking, ‘What if that was my vehicle?’� he said. “Going through downtown, you just never knew who could shoot at you or what could happen.� Powell was sent on many potentially dangerous convoys through the city and said he was well received by the local

Collegiate Chorale travels on 2008 Europe tour By Semira Chowdhury Reporter
A trip to Europe is a dream for most college students, but few actually experience it. The University’s Collegiate Chorale has a chance to experience the dream this summer when they go to the 2008 Lucerne International Choral Festival in Europe from June 30 to July 12. Director of choral activities William Skoog said 11 high school and college groups will be performing in the Switzerland festival at the Kultur-undKongresszentrum Luzern. “It is a distinct honor to be invited to conduct in such a prestige hall with a world class orchestra,” Skoog said. The Collegiate Chorale is comprised of 40 males and females who are the top select in the College of Musical Arts, Skoog said. About 28 people are going to Europe along with another 45 people from the Community
Chorale who are residents of Bowling Green, Skoog added. The University was invited to the festival through Music Celebrations International in Tempe, Ariz. President of Music Celebrations International John Wiscomb retired and invited Skoog to be one of the festival directors this year, along with Hilary Afelstadt, director of choral activities at OSU. Skoog said he was picked because he had done European trips in the past. In the beginning of the trip, everyone will be performing and during the second half it will only be the Collegiate Chorale and Community Chorale, Skoog said. They will be touring and performing at other European locations such as Italy and Austria for the Celebration of American Music Festival. Skoog is looking forward to the students and community learning about different cultures, and he is also excited about conduct-

University Bookstore offers textbook rental option to students By Tony Hunter Reporter
Students may want to check out the University Bookstore this fall for upcoming changes and deals to save some money. One new thing students may be able to expect in the near future is textbook rentals at less than half the cost of new books. The bookstore successfully ran a test trial this past spring where three textbooks were bought by the University to be rented by students. According to Course Materials Manager Steve Overholt, the trial ran so well that his staff concluded this summer they would start working on offering more rental books. “We are always looking for ways to get books cheaper for students,” Overholt said. “[The trial] was very well received by the students.” University Bookstore Manager Andy Grant said if the University commits to allowing more books for rental, they would be the first school in Ohio to do so. “I hear it’s a pretty big thing in education right now,” Grant said. “It’s a big initiative for the University to be one of a few schools in the country to do it.” Overholt said the majority of textbooks available to rent will be offered in core classes for freshmen and sophomores. With this new option, students will have the opportunity of only paying 40 percent of the new book price. The book store is also continu-
VEGGIES From Page 1 “Also, I became ill during the school year, and I could not stomach meat ... I felt that I didn’t have a good selection.” The campus does offer a vegetarian club, but it does not have a Web site for students to learn more about it. Daria Blachowski-Dreyer, the Dietician for Dining Services, wants students to know all their options. “There are vegetarian and vegan options on the menus at all dining services on campus,” she said. While this is true, option variation is also an issue, along with food prices. According to BlachowskiDreyer, vegetarian food is not that much more expensive, even with the rising food costs. She also said that some products are more expensive depending on ingredients. Some students still feel they end up paying more for their special selections. “The occasional vegetarian hamburger and a salad would

ing with other ways for students to save money by offering free Union parking for customers who make a purchase of $25 or more. Many students are not aware that this service has been offered by the bookstore for more than six years. “It’s been a service we’ve offered since I’ve been here,” Grant said. “It’s more for visitors and parents looking for parking on campus.” Senior Christa Fitch said she uses the deal as a nice way to find parking during the busy move-in days of the school year. “I think a lot of people know about it,” Fitch said. “It is very convenient.” Fitch was also interested in looking into renting books if she had the option for her classes. “I think for books like a Bio 104 book that cost $120 that renting it would be worth it,” Fitch said. For now, Overholt could not give an exact time when students could expect more rental options, but said his staff is working with University faculty departments in committing to similar book titles. “It takes some time to get things built up,” Overholt said. “It’s something we are actively pursuing.” be far too expensive for a meal, so I would usually have to opt for less healthy food,” O’Brien said. “I mainly frequented the SunDial and the Union when I had flex funds to spare.” Students said depending on the situation, both the SunDial and the Union had poor vegetarian options, with either the same meal options or nothing at all that was very accommodating. Sophomore Bree Shollenberger likes dining locations that offer salads. “The best place [was] probably Campus Corners because they offered salads,” she said. Students who want to give dining services their input may have an outlet for their opinions. Blachowski-Dreyer said the BGedge (an old university program) was being reincarnated and that they meet to discuss vegetarian options. She has not heard from them as of yet. Dreyer said the University is always looking for more options to accommodate the growing number of vegetarian customers, but she wants students to know options always depend on product availability.

Roommates. No other word can illicit such mixed emotions. We’ve had good ones and bad ones. Here are some tips for living with one. Whether you’re in the dorms or an apartment, living with roommates is a challenge unparalleled. We all have our own little quirks that, while possibly adorable to our mom can be incredibly annoying to someone who has to spend the next eight to nine months within 15 feet of us. So be mindful of yourself. Try to steer clear of the stupid things you do, like tapping your pen, cracking your knuckles or partying on Monday night. What you might not even notice yourself doing can be extremely aggravat-
“Sharing is very necessary in a dorm room, given the very limited amount of space you have.” ing to someone else. Probably the best thing you can do when you meet your roommate is to set up some ground rules right off the bat. For example, try to have a similar bed time. It’s a lot easier to fall asleep with the lights off and it’s easier to do schoolwork if you don’t have to worry about waking someone up. If this doesn’t work out, try to discuss what you need in order to fall asleep or to do homework. This will ensure that both parties can get their work done and get to sleep. Another thing to discuss is who can come to your dorm or apartment and when. What about boyfriends and girlfriends? Can anyone spend the night?
Another very important thing to discuss is property rights and furniture. Sharing is very necessary in a dorm room, given the very limited amount of space you have. Who brings the fridge? The futon? The microwave? A good suggestion is to split costs but not ownership. You might supply the fridge while your roommate supplies the futon, which means that what she says about the futon, goes, but you get to lord over the refrigerator. But where do you draw the line? Are you going to share food with your roommate? What about a TV? Make sure you both know who can use what.

Specialization can make you a slave CONRAD PRITSCHER | COLUMNIST Buckminster Fuller’s history of education demonstrates how the elite of the military-industrial-governmental complex keeps many of us in the dark. When we are in the dark, we can be more easily manipulated without being aware of it. Fuller’s history of specialization in schools and universities shows that the Great Pirates established a land-based home and made someone the Governor. The Great Pirate would tell that Governor to tell him when a smart young person is noticed. The Great Pirate would then ask the young person to study a specialty such as accounting, finance, navigation, shipbuilding, or some other important skill. The Great Pirate would tell the young man to only study that specialty because the Great Pirate would
“Specialization that began with the Great Pirate continues in schools and universities today.” be the only one who will be a comprehensive thinker. These specialists were paid reasonably well but they always took orders from the Great Pirate. They were not independent comprehensive thinkers as the Great Pirate was. Specialization that began with the Great Pirates continues in schools and universities today. The specialization prevents what the great philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead, said about powerful learning. Whitehead said learning should first include an adventure stage where the student is turned on and becomes inquisitive about
finding out more about a topic or field. The second stage of learning is a precision stage where the student learns many details. The third stage is the generalization stage, where one attempts to make connections (arrive at big open ideas) not only within a field of knowledge under study, but also between fields of knowledge. Teachers and many professors often neglect the adventure and generalization stages of learning. Grades have become too important, and the adventure and generalization stages are difficult to measure. School and university training concentrates mainly on the second stage; the specialization stage. As a result, students and former students—most of us—

College life has done very little to quell my inner child Levi Joseph Wonder Columnist
I’ve had the opportunity to talk to some college-graduated persons whom I know from my hometown and most of them have described college as a time for immature high school kids to receive university-level educations, to get involved in student organizations and have fun, and to become more mentally and emotionally mature in their lives. For the most part, I agree with these ideas: I’ve received a pretty good college education so far (based on my 1 school year and .5 summers here at BGSU), and I’ve had too much fun with goofy stuff and student organizations. But maturity? No. No way at all. In my opinion, I think I’ve actually taken a few steps backwards on the maturity scale. Right now, I’d rank my mental maturity level as that of a prepubescent nine-year-old boy who plays with Legos and Nerf toys. ‘Cuz I still like Legos and Nerf toys. In fact, I think I’ll construct a small armada of ships from my Lego collection when I go
“In my opinion, I think I’ve actually taken a few steps backwards on the maturity scale.” back home after this next sixweek session … I’m not saying that college doesn’t make people more mature. In fact, a small handful of people whom I know have changed significantly after merely one or two years of higher education, evidence of college’s potential to mature people. But in my particular case, I fall in with the crowd of kids who will probably mature very little (at least, demeanor-wise) over four years of post-secondary education. Or, maybe I’ll do a 180 and start wearing a business suit everywhere! (Wait, that’s a stereotype. Crap.) Don’t get me wrong; I do believe that I could change a great deal in the years to come. If other college graduates are substantial evidence (which they are), then I could theoretically turn into a mature person by the time I graduate. OH NO! But for Charles Bronson’s sake, I’m merely a college sophomore with a face that won’t grow facial hair, a Frankensteined bike instead of a sweet conversion van and a paltry 38
credit hours under my belt. On one hand, I don’t really think I’m ready to properly guess what kind of person I’ll be in 2.8 years from now. On the other hand, I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to be sure of anything relating to my college career, because my mind refuses to mature! I’ve had people tell me that I’m still stuck in high school! It’s a very real possibility that I could remain a bewildered kid with a pre-college mentality for the rest of my maturity-absent life. Or maybe I’ll get a grip and suck it up. Much of the time, I over-philosophize. I do it WAY TOO MUCH. Even in ordinary conversations over insignificant matters, I’ll be getting in touch with my inner Rene Descartes, thinking: “Can I be sure that I’m really talking to this person? Can I be sure that I actually remembered to put pants on today? Does my stomach really exist, or is this vaguely painful feeling stemming from my abdomen merely an emotion-turned physical sensation used by the midget goblin robots who inhabit my large intestine to tell me to feed them in order to keep them running so they don’t shut down my body’s homeostasis …”

Travelin’ the Globe: Finding new places to eat in the Big Apple Alison Kemp Columnist
BROOKLYN — Food. It’s everywhere here, from the cheap variety you can buy from stands on street corners to the expensive kind you have to wait in long lines for. I willingly admit that I am not the greatest person to write a commentary about food, but because there is such an abundance of options here, this topic cannot be surpassed. The reason I’m not qualified to discuss this topic is that first of all, I am a picky eater, so I stick to hamburgers (well done, nothing on them), chicken fingers and pasta (hold the sauce). Second of all, I don’t like trying new things unless they are my only option, so I won’t
“These were the deepest fried chicken fingers and fries I’ve ever consumed.” be eating anything Asian or Middle Eastern. Thirdly, I don’t mind eating the same thing for consecutive days (my lunch has roughly been the same every day since I arrived). And fourthly, I’d rather spend my money on Broadway tickets and museums. But with being here five weeks now, I’ve eaten enough times to have a few things to say. First, food here is expensive. I just bought a box of raisin bran, a box of granola bars and a bag of chips at the grocery store for a total of $13. I’ve decided that the grocery store prices here are roughly twice that of Bowling Green. This price difference happens in all restaurants, too. This

really impedes on my Broadway and museum preference. Secondly, as I have mentioned before, you can find anything here. I came across a restaurant just a couple of blocks away from me that is known for its fish and chips. I ordered chicken fingers and chips from The ChipShop, and they came wrapped in the white paper that meat is wrapped in and covered with a sheet of newspaper. These were the deepest fried chicken fingers and fries I’ve ever consumed. Yes, they were glorious, and even though I really want to eat-in sometime and see if the fish comes in a basket with red and white checked paper, I need to wait a few weeks. I don’t think I can consume that much grease for quite some time. But it was the first time I felt like I got my money’s worth for the amount of

Fireworks bring beautiful new experiences AMAL ABU ALMAKAREM | GUEST COLUMNIST It is July 4, 2006. Today around 8:50 p.m. my friend picked me up and took me to Bowling Green to attend the fireworks show. When we got close to the fireworks show area, the car stopped on the bridge near the intersecting street around 9:25 p.m. There were crowds of cars that moved quickly to reach the showing area. My friend asked me to leave the car and walk to the showing area to watch. While he was talking, a tow truck came to remove the car. I left the car, passed the intersecting street and stood at the railing where I could see two events: the fireworks show and the stopped car. The showing started roughly around 9:30 p.m.
“The colors and forms of fireworks against the darkness gave the viewer a romantic feeling.” One firework went up quickly and directly into the sky, and the form and movement of the fireworks was like a snake. When the fireworks reached a certain height, the center of its head exploded and gave specific forms and shining colors from the center, forming a circle around it. The colors of the fireworks were yellow, red, blue, purple and green with different forms, like stars at the end of each streamer. At 10:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. when the showing finished, the display
grew stronger, thicker and faster. Many fireworks exploded together in the space of the sky. I heard a big explosion at the same time I saw the form of fireworks and I heard the cheering of people. The place was dark and fireworks lit up the sky. The dark was like a background to a great piece of artwork by a great artist. The colors and forms of fireworks against the darkness gave the viewer a romantic feeling. When the show finished, the tow truck had reached and began to connect the car to be removed. My friend and I rode on the tow truck beside the tow truck driver to reach my friend’s apartment. That fourth of July evening was

instead of the annoying, approach the situation with caution and tact. Do not, for instance, blow up at your roommate. They probably do not know that something they’re doing is annoying you, so it might be as simple as asking them to stop. If it’s something more serious, like not taking out the trash, put your foot down. Stagnant waste can be a breeding ground for bugs, especially fruit flies, and the stench is impossible to get rid of. In the worst case scenario, you might have to go to your RA and eventually change rooms. When it comes to interacting, it’s best not to act as if the other person didn’t exist. They do; they’re 10 feet away. If they’re a “hall-hermit” and you’re a socialite, try including them in some of your activities. Who knows, they might be fun to hang out with.

It also was lacking the graham cracker crust so many cheesecakes come with. Instead, it had a layer of white cake on the bottom. There is one meal still left on my list. This isn’t a restaurant I knew about before coming to New York, but there’s a place in Union Square that sells a plethora of varieties of macaroni and cheese. It’s called S’MAC (Sarita’s Macaroni and Cheese). I’ll be hard pressed to get a version other than regular, but I love mac and cheese as long as it isn’t crispy on top. Pending that isn’t the case here, I’m sure I’ll have a fantastic meal.

PRITSCHER From Page 4 are often in the dark and rely excessively on other people’s thinking rather than deciding for ourselves. Thomas Jefferson held that a major purpose of education was to provide conditions whereby each student would decide for oneself what will secure or endanger one’s freedom. Today we are not frequently concerned with openness and freedom. Conservative governments like the G.W. Bush administration are overly involved with secrecy, denial of reality and manipulation. An oligarchy now seems to decide much of what our country is doing in Iraq. The closed and secret oligarchy subtly promotes racism, sexism, homophobia and fascism. A result is that we have poor national leadership, the wealthy getting wealthier, and
the poor and middle class getting poorer. Their training of our minds has been so subtle that the majority rarely notice the privileges they have. This is particularly true of white people and men, since people of color and women still do not have the privileges that whites and males do. As has been mentioned before, for more information about these privileges, Google Peggy McIntosh and her research on this topic will appear. You are invited to discuss white and male privilege with your friends. Most of us feel we can do little about racism, sexism, homophobia and fascism. That is partly a result of the subtle training/programming we are given in our schools and universities since teachers and professors often focus only on Whitehead’s specialization stage of learning. This subtle programming has been going on for so many years

that our teachers, professors and teacher-trainers have also often been programmed to think their job is to give students information (at the specialization stage of learning). If schools and universities provided time for students to make connections to larger contexts, we could think something (as Einstein suggested) that can’t be learned from textbooks. Often, we do not notice that when we follow others’ thinking, it may be temporarily easier for us, but in the long run, we remain slaves to the subtle manipulators who too frequently think for us. Thanks for your attention.

Customers will pre-pay to play by the hour and although prices are not finalized, Lewis said the base price will probably be $5 an hour and will allow customers to play any game they wish. If customers are not satisfied with the selection of games, Lewis said they will be open to suggestions. “We are going to have a request form so people can come in and tell us the games they want to play,” Lewis said. Yearly memberships will also be available, which will be around $50, and will offer discounts on hourly rates and special events.

Pixar’s newest adventure reaches new heights By Aaron Helfferich Film Critic
After “Ratatouille,” critics and audiences everywhere were wondering how the indestructible animation studio known as Pixar would find a way to top what many were calling the most original film they had ever created. With a credits list including films that revolutionized animation films, their successive film always carries high expectations of a quality experience in entertainment. With so much momentum building on a never ending rocket to perfection, the weight of continuing the unbelievable batting average rests on the shoulders of one tiny little robot named Wall-E. With their newest film simply titled “Wall-E,” Pixar asks the question, “What if mankind had to leave earth and forgot to turn the last robot off?” The trash compacting robot named Wall-E is now the only moving thing on the lifeless planet we call Earth. As we learn that Wall-E has been repeating the same task of cleaning up after humans for nearly 700 years, our sympathy for a lonely robot is immediately apparent even when a sleek surveillance robot appears from

As Wall-E is desperate to make a new friend, the surveillance bot, named EVE, discovers that Wall-E may have stumbled upon the key to the future of the planet. Soon, Wall-E and EVE take their adventure to the reaches of outer space where they meet up with the long lost inhabitants of Earth. During the course of the story in “Wall-E,” the gifted storytelling techniques of Pixar now take on forms unlike anything they’ve ever experimented with. In an opening sequence that solely focuses on the routine days of Wall-E’s life, the film establishes a haunting narrative made gleefully acceptable with a significant robot. With a wondrously expressive main character that charms his audience to the classic style of Charlie Chaplin’s silent films, it’s apparent that Pixar is stepping into territories we would least expect. After nearly an hour of the runtime has inevitably whisked by
with only a few lines of dialogue, Wall-E’s adventure takes us to outer space with transparent references to “Star Wars” and other classic science fiction films. After we meet a colorful cast of misfit robots and witness the monstrosity that the human race has become, the climactic impact of the film comes with praiseworthy execution. By incorporating a timely environmental lesson with an unexpectedly glowing love story, Pixar once again succeeds in the impossible task of creating a film for children between the ages of 1 and 100. Even with all of the classic film references, including a cherished snippet from “Hello Dolly,” the story of Wall-E stands as one that is composed of sheer originality and an undying sense of character. By giving a life to a character who is otherwise considered lifeless, Pixar builds Wall-E into a fresh bundle of joy anyone would want as a lifelong friend. By further extending the boundaries of animation, Pixar even creates a character better than most live action films could create with today’s most talented actors. Without sounding too much

‘Wanted’: the action flick you have always wanted to see By Aaron Helfferich Film Critic
Ever since “The Matrix” captured the world with its revolutionary slow motion filming technology called Bullet Time, the sudden craze for the technique has infiltrated its way into nearly every summer blockbuster that has succeeded it. Used so many times, but with so little success, the art of slow motion storytelling has landed in a rut of overused monotony. “Wanted,” is the latest film to utilize this technology, but it hasn’t been since the original “Matrix” that a film has used it so effortlessly and stylistically. Already carrying a background in the use and stylization of slow motion, Russian film director Timur Bekmambetov once again attacks the American film market with his signature of blatantly over-the-top action sequences. With successful venture in his aggressive film series including “Night Watch” and “Day Watch,” Timur’s films come at you more like the unexpected rush of a roller-coaster rather than the typical expectations of an action flick. Now, with the job of adapting the unique graphic novels that make up the story of “Wanted,” Bekmambetov shares with us his unique art form that some may

The story of “Wanted” follows the secret lives of a fraternity of assassins whose traditions span back nearly a thousand years. Even with so much secrecy and tradition, one of their greatest assassins has mysteriously gone rogue to fight back against the group he was once a part of. As a fateful turn of events leads the group to the son of a recently assassinated member, their choice in a savior seems less than capable of even throwing a punch. That savior is Wesley Gibson. Living his life as a meaningless office worker for a boss that he hates, Wesley is stuck in a rut of a pitiful life that is only extended as the days go by. It isn’t until he is approached by a mysterious woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie), who skillfully saves him from a convenience store shootout and a deadly car chase that she effortlessly maneuvers

Pop group PrimaJ provides listeners with catchy fluff By Semira Chowdhury Reporter
A mix of the Spice Girls and Fergie — PrimaJ is born. This hot two-girl Latina group was featured in “Bratz: The Movie” and now their selftitled album, “PrimaJ” recently came out in stores. The CD wasn’t what I expected; with repeated verses, electronic dance rhythms and corny lyrics throughout the whole CD, but it’s basically what you would expect in a club. Every song starts with a different rhythm, has rap and some of the songs have Spanish verses. The songs are the normal girl songs, singing about cheating men and trash-talking other women, such as the song “Leftovers” that starts with an upbeat rhythm and rap. There are many clichés in the lyrics such as, “hung around like a stain on the carpet” and normal girl verses such as, “so Imma

like a broken record, it’s safe to say that Pixar has once again outdone themselves. With one of the most creative and imaginative original stories ever told, ‘Wall-E” raises the bar for not only animation films, but those of all shapes, types, sizes and colors. As one of the most extraordinarily conceived, brilliantly depicted and ultimately heartwarming films of the year, “Wall-E” could possibly rank among the most memorable films of all time.

As if the over-the-top nature of the action sequences didn’t catch our attention the first time, the rest of the movie significantly ups the ante after every elongated scene of stylized mayhem. With cars flipping over moving busses, bullets bouncing off each other
in mid air and characters that could make an army retreat for the hills, Wanted evokes a visual style that is unlike anything we’ve ever witnessed. However, for a story about a covert group with ancient secrets, the attacks of the attention grabbing action sequences aren’t enough to cover up the minor flaws of predictability that plague this film. Still, with a prolific director working to extend true capabilities of original visual excitement, “Wanted” is one of the few films that can honestly claim a triumph of style over substance.

Badenhop’s success hasn’t come easy, but the Florida Marlins pitcher is starting to fit right in
After a disappointing eighth place finish in the MidAmerican Conference Tournament, Men’s Golf Coach Garry Winger has his team poised for a strong run this fall. Q: With four players graduating, will it be hard to compete in tournaments this year? A: We signed two excellent players this year, and we can have up to 10 players on the team, with five kids traveling to tournaments. Q: Take me through the process of recruiting players. A: It’s really hectic. A normal week consists of making trips to summer American Junior Golf Association tournaments that feature the best

Being drafted in the 19th round of the Major League Baseball Amateur draft is hardly a promising start to a professional career. However, Burke Badenhop, a Perrysburg, Ohio, native and 2005 graduate of BGSU, is proving the majors are where he belongs. “Being able to play in the majors is a pretty surreal Burke feeling,” Burke Badenhop said. “There was a lot of shock and Pitcher awe when I first got called up, but now things seem a bit more normal.” Burke’s father, Dalynn Badenhop, remembers the exact moment he believed Burke had made a name for himself. On May 6, 2005, the Falcons overcame the Miami RedHawks, 13-9. The game was played in front of a fleet of pro scouts there to see BG’s Nolan Reimold and Miami’s pitchers. “He had a Miami player two strikes down and busted a fastball on the inside corner,” said Dalynn. “The radar on the scoreboard showed 94 mph. At that moment, you could see every scout checking with the other scouts to see what they got on the radar guns. I turned to my wife and I said, our son just got drafted.” Burke was originally signed by the Detroit Tigers. He played with five different ball clubs in the minors before being obtained by the Marlins in a trade last December. On April 9, 2008, Burke made his major league debut pitching a scoreless ninth inning against the Washington Nationals. Just four days later, he was officially in the Marlins’ starting rotation. On May 7, Burke tallied his first win, striking out seven in 5 2/3 innings. “That first win felt great, especially after a few starts and a couple losses,” Burke said. “It was really the first game that I felt I threw like I was capable of. That first one will never be forgotten.” On the last day of the Marlins’ recent road trip, Burke was placed on the 15-day Disabled List for shoulder pain. After a MRI revealed no structural damage and only inflammation, Burke feels rest is all he needs. “This period of rest will get me back on track and back to pitching like I’m capable of,” he said. “I’m waiting till the inflammation subsides in hopefully a few days. I should be throwing off a mound again in a week and hope to be back playing again in

A: Their ability as golfers is important, but it is also important to see how players conduct themselves and how they act with a lead. It is also important that my players are commit-

DETERMINATION: Burke Badenhop, a native of Perrysburg, Ohio, makes a pitch while playing for the Falcons in 2005. In just three years, Badenhop is now a Florida Marlin after playing for five minor league teams in the Detroit Tiger’s organization.
“Being able to play in the majors is a pretty surreal feeling. There was a lot of shock and awe when I first got called up, but now things seem a bit more normal.” Burke Badenhop | Marlins Pitcher two weeks.” Working back into the rotation might even come easy for Burke. His father believes both his drive and focus have assisted Burke in his success. This has stemmed from both Dalynn and his wife stressing that their kids work hard for everything. When Burke returns from the DL, he will be pitching with the Badenhop’s family values and also with something he learned here at BG: confidence. “Pitching has always been about confidence for me regardless of where I’m at,” Burke said. “It’s something I found at BG, carried with me into the minors and majors, but still search for on a daily basis.” While only playing in 13 games so far this season, Burke will have plenty of time to prove himself when we returns from injury. If anyone remains skeptical of his
success, Burke gladly welcomes their opinion. “I’ve always tried to prove people wrong at every level I’ve been at,” Burke said. “I wasn’t heavily recruited out of high school or heavily scouted out of college. I wasn’t a high round pick and I carry that with me every time I play. I’m always out there to prove people wrong.” The Marlins, only a half game back from first place in their division, still have a great chance at making the playoffs. “We need to pitch more consistently and play better defense,” Burke said. “Our offense is as potent as any you’ll find and capable of scoring runs in bunches. We just need to keep games closer so that we can play with leads and eventually shut things down in the later innings.” Regardless of how the Marlins do, his father remains hopeful for Burke’s personal success. “It’s yet to be determined whether he can succeed at this level, but I’m optimistic that it’s going to happen,” Dalynn said.

STILL PULLING IN THE TOUCHDOWNS: Cleveland Gladiators’ Robert Redd (2), once a wideout for the Falcons, is lifted by teammates after scoring a touchdown in the first half of an arena football game against the Orlando Predators on Monday, June 30, 2008 in Cleveland. The Gladiators won 69-66.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Raymond Philyaw threw eight touchdown passes, including four to Robert Redd, and the Cleveland Gladiators defeated the Orlando Predators 69-66 in the Arena Football League playoffs Monday night. Fourth-seeded Cleveland won the wild-card game and will play the No. 2 seed Georgia Force. Orlando keyed its defense on Otis Amey, who had a leagueleading 50 regular-season touchdowns. So Philyaw, who was 29-of-48 for 436 yards, went to Redd and Randy Hymes, who had three TD catches “We’ve got other guys we can go to, we did it all season and we did it tonight,” said Philyaw, who in the third quarter threw his first interception in 274 passes dating to May 2. But it was four turnovers and
three missed extra points that did in the Predators. “In football, you get what you deserve,” Orlando coach Jay Gruden said. “We’ve struggled with turnovers all year. That’s 46 in 17 games.” Cleveland’s Brandon Hefflin recovered a fumble by T.T. Toliver with 2:04 to play and had two interceptions, including one in the end zone with 10.8 seconds left in the first half. That led to Jason Ball’s 27-yard field goal that gave Cleveland its first lead, 34-33. “To have the lead at half-time was surprising because we didn’t play very well,” Cleveland coach Mike Wilpolt said. “Then the momentum shifted and we had a better second half.” Toliver caught four of eight TD passes thrown by Shane Stafford and returned a kickoff 57 yards
to score. He was upset at his first turnover of the season, when he lost his footing and the football four yards from the end zone with Orlando trailing, 62-60. “My first one was a fatal one,” Toliver said. “I hurt the guys. I feel bad.” Stafford went 30-for-42 for 376 yards. Toliver had 11 catches for 185 yards and Chas Gessner gained 101 yards on 12 catches, including scores of 10, 24, and 4 yards in the first half. Orlando, AFL champions in 1998 and 2000, has been in the playoffs 17 straight seasons. The Predators began that run with a 50-12 win over the Cleveland Thunderbolts in 1992. The Thunderbolts folded in 1994 and Cleveland did not have an AFL team until the Gladiators moved from Las Vegas after 2-14 record a year ago.
