BG hockey team advances to WCHA Final Five Falcons sweep Northern Michigan Students, faculty to perform in Jazz Week shows By Meg Kraft Reporter
The University’s jazz department will kickoff Jazz Week on March 18. This year, Jazz Week features internationally renowned jazz performer and Coordinator of Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, trombonist Conrad Herwig. The annual event includes three concerts that students can attend in the Moore Musical Arts Center. Wednesday’s performance features the Student Chamber Jazz Ensembles at 8 p.m. in Bryan Hall. On Thursday, Herwig will perform with the Faculty Jazz Group at 8 p.m. in Bryan Hall. Friday’s performance features Herwig with the BGSU Lab Band 1 in Kobacker Hall at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday concerts are free and tickets to Friday’s main event are $10. Advance tickets are available for $7 general admission and $3 for students. Music Performance Studies professor David Bixler said students should attend this event for both quality entertainment and informative history. “There will be great music three nights in a row, I would also challenge the intellectually curious student with the idea that the history of jazz and that of the United States of America are inextricably linked,” he said. Bixler noted that the correlation is important. “This is valuable information to wrestle with as one prepares to move beyond school and into society,” he said. Herwig will be performing at the University for the second time. As one of New York’s better-known mainstream trombonists, he has performed and recorded with famous jazz leaders including Jack DeJohnette and Joe Henderson. He discussed the importance of performing jazz music and said the genre is “inherently American.” Herwig said Jazz Week is such an exciting event because it gives performers and audience alike the opportunity to experience improvisation through music. He said the spontaneity of jazz is exciting and urged students to take part in the fun. “You never know what’s gonna happen,” he said. “Jazz is an exciting art form.” Herwig said the second concert of the series, on March 19, will include collaboration with the Jazz Faculty. “We will be performing some of my original compositions and some classics,” he said. The third concert, on March 20, will feature pieces from four of Herwig’s Grammy-nominated CDs. Audience can expect to hear original tracks as well as sounds from Wayne Shorter and Joe Henderson. To take part in Jazz Week, purchase tickets by visiting the University’s Musical Arts webpage.
Verizon to build wireless distribution system to campus
By Corey Krupa Reporter
The BG hockey team will advance to the WCHA Final Five playoff series in Minnesota this weekend, following a weekend series sweep at home against Northern Michigan last weekend. The Falcons will face Michigan Tech, who is currently ranked fourth in the nation. “What I like is that the bar continues to get set,” head coach Chris Bergeron said. “We expect to play at home in the playoffs; we expect to win at home in the playoffs. That means that the future looks good.” In Friday’s playoff opener, freshman Tyler Spezia scored the overtime game-winner to give BG a 3-2 victory over Northern Michigan. “I happened to get the puck on my backhand,” Spezia said. “I took a step out and put it under the bar. I blacked out to be honest.” The goal came with less than 30 seconds left in the first overtime period. Seniors Dan DeSalvo and Adam Berkle recorded assists on the goal. Both teams were scoreless in the second period, until the Wildcats scored to give them a 1-0 advantage. Mitch McClain answered with a goal halfway through the third period to tie the game 1-1. Later in the third period, Northern Michigan scored to take a 2-1 lead with less than four minutes in regulation. However, Mark Cooper scored an unassisted goal with 1:24 left in the game to force overtime. That’s where the Falcons came out victorious behind Spezia’s goal to take the first game of the series. BG goalie Tommy Burke recorded 38 saves in the win. In Saturday’s playoff game, the Falcons once again found themselves trailing 1-0 about midway in the second period. But, Tyler Spezia scored 1:04 later to tie the game 1-1. “To come back right away and Tyler Spezia just finds a way,” Bergeron said. Brandon Hawkins scored two consecutive goals to increase BG’s lead 3-1 later in the game. Then late in the third period on the power play, Brent Tate scored and the Falcons won 4-1 to win the home playoff

Internet data to process faster for carriers, opportunity for other cell phone companies in future By Kendra Clark Campus Editor
Students and residents who carry Verizon will see a boost in their Internet next year. The University is planning on putting in a wireless distribution system that will increase Internet connection for Verizon users. University Director of Business Operations Andrew Grant described the system as a number of small antennas that will enhance the 4G coverage on and off campus. The construction for the system is planned to start this spring and is tentatively scheduled to be finished before fall semester. “The building containing the core of their technology will be located east of I-75 next to the Huntington Building,” he wrote in an email. “The antennas will be located on a variety of buildings throughout campus.” Planning Director for the city Heather Sayler said this all started about a year ago when Verizon came to the city and wanted to construct a tower near the I-75 exchange. “Officials were upset with the aesthetics of the plan,” she said. “They didn’t want the tower to be the first thing you see when you
enter the city. So we started working with the University for a solution.” Sayler said this is good because both residents and students can gain from the system being built. “This is a great benefit for everyone who uses wireless communication,” she said. People who don’t use Verizon may also like this system, because they are building it with the capability to add more carriers if they choose to use it, she said. “The system will already be in place for them to use,” Slayer said. Grant wrote a variety of reasons why the University would benefit from the new system. “This system is focused on capabilities surrounding data, not phone, so it will increase bandwidth, streaming video, text capabilities and prepare us for the future surrounding 4G wireless technology,” he wrote. “It will help the more populated areas on campus access 4G data faster such as at sporting events, graduation…” In all, residents and students may benefit in this process.

Residents may value accessibility over quality in their drinks By Amber Hage-Ali Reporter
Starbucks boasts that its coffee is “the heart and soul of their company,” and their large clientele might suggest that there is some truth behind this motto. Sometimes people will even wait for a half hour just to get a venti latte from the University Starbucks, but is this because of the quality or accessibility? Emily Double, a worker at the University Starbucks, said that most students are buying lattes and other speciality drinks as opposed to coffee. “A lot of students tend to get more of the espresso drinks and frappuccinos, stuff like that,” Double said. “I don’t want to generalize but a lot of older people tend to buy plain coffee.” Brooke Smith, employee at the University Dunkin Donuts, agrees with Double. “People usually buy fancier drinks, probably because they are not big coffee
drinkers,” Smith said. Senior Amber Reed says that she goes to Starbucks because she hates coffee and they offer a variety of other beverages. “I hate coffee; I go to Starbucks to get their chai latte. I enjoy Starbucks’ chai latte,” Reed said. On-campus drinkers tend to gravitate more to the espresso drinks, which are generally more expensive. Lindsay Cunningham, a senior at the University, said that she prefers to get her coffee at local shops, but when she has the money for a “fancier” drink she likes Starbucks for lattes. “I prefer to get my coffee at local shops like Grounds for Thought,” Cunningham said. “I prefer coffee because it generally has more caffeine, but I love lattes and will occasionally treat myself.” Plain coffee drinkers tend to gravitate to more local businesses. Bowling Green local Giulio Ricciardi said he

prefers to drink local coffee because it tastes better to him. “Corporate coffee tastes like it is full of chemicals,” Ricciardi said. It seems that accessibility plays a big role in student coffee drinkers. Double said that most students that come through Starbucks usually pay with their BG1 Cards, not paying out of pocket. However, local coffee shops, such as Grounds for Thought, do not take BG1 Cards. Do students buy more expensive, latte drinks on campus because they are not buying out of pocket? “Starbucks is generally stronger and more flavorful but too expensive,” said Cunningham. “I really would like to spend no more than $4.” Regardless if you are a coffee connoisseur or the occasional coffee sipper, one thing is certain: Bowling Green offers a lot of options for your coffee habit.

BG’s season continues this Friday at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota against Michigan Tech. The puck drops at 5:07 p.m. for the Semifinal of the WCHA tournament.

involved overachiever and I couldn’t get enough music. Marching band, show choir, concert band, musicals - I ate it all up. My trouble began the summer before my junior year. I had already passed my show choir audition, but I was determined to be like the skinny, pretty girls who got to do the fun things like lifts. During band camp, I would refuse to eat lunch. Little did I know that my suspicious mother had talked to my band director, who in turn had appointed one of her music major assistants to report when I wasn’t eating. She won that battle, but I kept going. Once school started, I began to meticulously
count every bite, recording them in a little journal I always had with me. One of my clearest memories took place backstage at one of the local elementary schools we always visited on our annual tour. Us girls changed into our costumes in the shadows behind the curtain. Nearby, two girls were whispering about me: “She has such a negative body image.” It got even worse with Lent. Now I had a reason, in my deranged thinking, to fast to extremes. In my obsession, I was so proud when I finally got down to 104 pounds. On Good Friday, I collapsed during musical rehearsal, having eaten nothing that day. That was the turning point. According to the doctor, I had messed up my body’s blood sugar regulation so much that I still have to be vigilant about it. What dragged me from that darkness? My family helped,
my friends helped and Irish dancing, through its physical demand and my desire to work toward something besides losing weight, definitely helped. I have never been so overjoyed by a dress that didn’t fit. That junior year dress still hangs in my closet, a tangible reminder of how I looked then: skinny, shapeless, distinctly unhealthy; how much healthier I am these days and what the intervening time represents - healing. It was battled for with conscious, painful decisions to practice wellness, much support from others and lots of forcing myself to eat. Hear me, please, anyone who is struggling with this: there is hope. I have been there in that terrible place and there is hope.

Greek life needs to work on prejudices, Band-Aid solutions not enough
Why did spring break have to end? -NOT READY
Can’t wait for the end of the school year. #READYFORTHOSESUMMERNIGHTS
I hope you all had more exciting spring breaks than I did at home. The most riveting thing to speak of was the installation of a new kitchen floor, which kept my family busy displacing all kitchen items to their temporary new homes strewn about the downstairs. What else to do but look high and low for a dress to wear to this year’s formal? My mom, a gifted seamstress, had made me a dress for each prom in high school. Neither of them fit and for that I was so grateful. You see, back then, I struggled with an eating disorder. Anorexia, to be exact. Those of you who have been through it will recognize its hallmark, the vicious cycle of a ghastly, warped self-image that makes you stare into the mirror and see nothing but flaws - or more accurately, fat. Fat that must disappear at any cost. In high school I was an over-
I love my Greek friendships that I have cultivated and grown here at the University. They are some of the most hardworking, loyal, good and kind friends I have ever met. They raise money for charities, they volunteer in the community and take their schooling seriously. I admire them. However, regardless of the individual Greek member, within the Greek system here in the United States there must be a call to action for the horrific and problematic culture that it brings to college campuses. For too long we watch news cycles with fraternities and sororities being banned from college campuses for roofying their house party guests, sending scalding emails to the members instructing them how to dress, act, have sex and communicate and now, dealing with the painful realization that yes, your chapter may be racist.

It’s easy to be racist, as it is easy to be homophobic and sexist. Put a bunch of people together who believe these actions never really affect anyone and boom, you have created a perfect recipe for unsafe and restricted spaces. As ignorance is always a main contributor, so are sororities’ and fraternities’ excuses. While I was watching the trending videos of the SAE chapter at the University of Oklahoma scream drunken racist remarks, I read an article written by a black male in the OU Greek community, urging folks to ignore the actions of these brothers and focus on the positive impact that Greeks make to campuses and communities.
I understood the importance of such an article; it’s hard to hear people slander the very institution that you love the most. But I just couldn’t bring myself to believe the words written. You see, Greek members, your fundraisers and charity events will always be shoved to the side when racism, homophobia and sexism prevail. Your talks of inclusiveness will never be credited when the system that you stand for turns its back on minority groups time and time again. You will only run the world until you graduate. In the real world, racism will be racism. Sexism will be sexism and homophobia will still be homophobia. The world does not turn its cheek just because you participated in a philanthropic cause. Earlier today, I read an article on the website mic.com titled, “The Side of the Oklahoma
Racist Frat Story That Nobody is Talking About.” The author began with, “Americans have no idea what to do with racism. But ‘racists’? We can handle those.” The point being made is that racism within organizations that preach inclusiveness is only a big deal when it’s caught and apologies have to be made. Slapping a big Band-Aid over someone’s hurt feelings seems like an easier way out than having to face the idea that you’re in a system that doesn’t like change from a straight, male-dominated, white standard. College loves you, Greek life. I love you. But it’s time to stop joining together in group hugs and high fives for all the “progress” you’ve made. It’s time to do some work.

Baseball team struggles over break
DOWN BUT NOT
OUT
Falcons drop six games, win two at invitational By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
Coming off its first series win of the season, an eight-game spring break did not continue the success for the Bowling Green baseball team. Opening with a 3-game series against Campbell [17-2], the Falcons were swept, scoring eight runs over the three games. BG hit .240 with 33 strikeouts at the dish while sporting a 5.25 ERA on the mound. “We did not put all three phases together in a game,” head coach Danny Schmitz said. “Good teams like Campbell are going to take advantage of mistakes and beat you, and that’s exactly what happened today.” The Falcons had a chance to turn the break around during the RussMatt Invitational with a game each against five different schools. “We are looking forward to getting back out on the field down in Florida,” Schmitz said. “As a team we have a lot to work on this week before we come home to begin Mid-American Conference play the following week.” Starting against Bucknell, BG appeared to be on its way to doing just that. The Falcons opened with a 3-run inning in the top of the first. They scored another six runs including another 3-run inning in the fifth, to snap the losing streak. Later that day, the Falcons kept the offense rolling against Butler. Again, BG opened the game with a big first inning, five runs, albeit four unearned. The Falcons slipped a bit in the second inning as Butler nearly matched the first inning effort with four runs of their own, setting the stage for a shoot out. The game was just that. But Bowling Green got the best of the Bulldogs, winning 16-14, for its second straight win. “We came out and swung the bats well today to pick up two
Defense stays strong, but poor rebounding haunts Falcons By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
Most of the time, when the Falcons needed a defensive stop in Wednesday night’s MAC Tournament match up against Eastern Michigan, they got it. But while Bowling Green’s first shot defense was good, it wasn’t until it came time for them to box out that things went bad. Eastern Michigan didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, shooting 39 percent from the field [24-61], but their two guards Mike Talley and Raven Lee carried them. Talley and Lee combined for 48 points in route to defeating the Falcons 73-67. “It wasn’t like we weren’t guarding them because we were,” said head coach Chris Jans on the topic of EMU’s guards. “Our first stop defense was pretty good. We just couldn’t secure enough defensive rebounds and that just deflates you.” The Falcons inability to box out led to EMU totaling 35 rebounds and 18 offensive rebounds, but that is only one of the things that doomed the Falcons. Their 15 turnovers also played a big part in their second round

loss Wednesday night. “In the end we just couldn’t keep them off the backboards,” Jans said. “18 offensive rebounds is a recipe for a loss and we had too many turnovers as well.” It was the case all game long; EMU would miss the first shot and somehow the ball would end up back in their hand for a second and sometimes third opportunity. No second chance point was more important than the points they got with 20 seconds to play. The Falcons were trailing by four points and after a Jehvon Clarke turnover the Falcons forced, EMU forward Karrington Ward to miss a jumper. Instead of BG getting the rebound and having a chance to cut the lead, EMU got yet another offensive rebound and center Olalekan Ajayi knocked down two free throws to seal the win. “They were aggressive, they went to the offensive glass hard and they got them,” said All-MAC forward Richaun Holmes. “We didn’t check out hard enough, they had a rebounding mind set and they went out and executed it.” Holmes, who was a game time deci-
Softball splits four games over break
Falcons finish 2-2 after first two games get cancelled By Aaron Parker Assistant Sports Editor
The Bowling Green softball team continued play over spring break in the Indiana University Hoosier Classic. After two of their six scheduled games were cancelled, the Falcons put together a 2-2 overall showing in the invite. The team lost its first two games played against host team Indiana 5-2 and then to North Dakota State 3-0. In the game against Indiana, the Falcons were up 2-0 in the third inning, but in the bottom of the fourth, the Hoosiers plated three runs to take a lead they would hold the rest of the game. Junior Marina Cobbs and sophomore Trista Mokienko were both 2-for-3 at the plate while Cobbs was able to score a run off of a left center single from Mokienko. Senior pitcher Jamie Kertes kept Indiana scoreless for three innings and allowed just one single in those innings. After the hit, Kertes did not allow a hit from the next eight batters. Then allowing two runs, Kertes was relieved by junior Braiden Dillow. Kertes later allowed two more runs in the sixth inning. Both teams ended the game with eight hits each. “Game one against Indiana was a tough loss,” head coach Shannon Salsburg said. “We played solid defense and hit the ball hard once again. We need to continue to work on pushing runs across the board the entire game, and our pitching staff has to do better pitching when we are ahead of batters.” In the game against NDSU, sophomore Briana Combs saw her second start on the season in the circle for the Falcons. Combs allowed only two earned runs and six hits in the game. “In the North Dakota State game, Briana gave us a gutsy performance on the mound,” Salsburg said. “She found ways to get outs against a very tough offense and our defense was solid behind her.”

Adverse season comes to a close for Falcons BG women’s basketball ends season, loses in first round of MAC tournament By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
PAIGE APKARIAN | THE BG NEWS
KENNEDY KIRKPATRICK dishes out a pass in a home game earlier this season.
Trials and tribulations, constant adversity and setback after setback led to a season of misfortune for the Bowling Green women’s basketball team. Its season ended right on cue. Dropping 11 straight games to end the regular season, the Falcons were the 12th and final team in the Mid-American Conference. Thus, to make it into the field of eight for the MAC tournament, BG went to Kalamazoo, MI to take on fifthseeded Western Michigan. Worn out from its near season-long depleted bench, the team’s shooting plummeted yet again. Five missed shots and two turnovers in the first 4:25 to start the game, the Falcons didn’t get much better as the game wore on. The Falcons’ top three scorers, Deborah Hoekstra, Miriam Justinger and Rachel Myers, finished a combined 6-for-28 [21.4 percent] from the field including 1-for-12 [8.3 percent] from behind the arc. The team finished 12-for-44 including
3-for-15 from deep. Adding salt to the wound, Western Michigan played as equally well as the Falcons did poorly. The Broncos converted more than half of their attempts, 25-for-49 from the field, ending the Falcons’ season with a 65-42 loss. The 42 points were their lowest in any game this season. The game reached its deepest low early in the second half. BG scored seven points in the first 1:29, but the Falcons scored just one point over the next 10:47, which saw the Broncos assemble a 19-1 run. This stretched the deficit to 28 points, all but marking the end for the Falcons. “It’s a single-digit game after 22 minutes and once we made our first couple shots coming out of the half, but then we score 1 point in the next 10 minutes, so they go on a run that we can’t catch up to,” said head coach Jennifer Roos. “Any time you have a scoring drought like that, you’re not going to be able to compete.” However, the final roster for the Falcons featured just eight active players, including four freshmen, two seniors and one
junior and sophomore each. Among this group was senior Deborah Hoekstra, who finished the season eighth in the country in free throw percentage, including being just one of eight players to finish above 90 percent from the charity stripe. She finished with a 90.1 percentage from the line, hitting 91 of her 101 attempts. Hoekstra had become more than the primary scoring option off the bench as the season progressed. Thrust into the starting lineup, Hoekstra became a double-double machine, regularly leading the team in rebounding game in and game out, while maintaining her efficiency at the line. The team was nearly as good at the line, too. Finishing the season ranked fifth in the country, the Falcons shot 77.1 percent from the line — 1.3 points below the nation’s leader — and were one of just five teams to finished above 77 percent. As nearly the entire roster returns for next season, the Falcons will look to build on the considerable experience that they had the opportunity to earn this season.

MEN’S From Page 6 sion Wednesday, led the Falcons with 18 points, with 16 of those coming in the first half. It didn’t take Holmes long to get started as he scored the Falcons first seven points of the game. Clarke, who finished with 18 points as well, nailed a jumper to put the Falcons up 9-8 early on. But for the next six minutes each team kept the game close. That was until the Falcons, who were trailing 21-18 at the time went on a 9-0 run. The score was 27-21 in favor of the Falcons when EMU head coach Rob Murphy called a timeout. That timeout led to EMU countering that run with a
BASEBALL From Page 6 wins,” Schmitz said. “Our pitchers battled all day, including several pitchers who haven’t gotten a lot of time on the mound yet this year. It was a great start to our week in Florida and a good way to bounce back after this past weekend.” The invitational ended the same way the break started for the Falcons though.
9-0 run of their own, giving them the lead 30-27 with 6:47 to play. That EMU run changed the flow of the game, Jans said. “We had that patch in the game where we were up six and it was right before a media,” Jans said. “They went on a 9-0 run and the game changed quickly … for me that was the section of the game where we lost that flow and that edge.” EMU carried that momentum into halftime leading 40-39. Eagles guards Talley and Lee combined for 29 of their halftime 40. The second half started the same as the first, with a Richaun Holmes basket, but that would end up being his one and only shot of the half. Murphy praised Ajayi for his defense on Holmes in
that half. “They were really physical and I just couldn’t get it going in the second half,” Holmes said. From there the game remained close, but the Falcons never could take control of the game, because of their inability to rebound on the defensive end. The Falcons end the season with a 20-11 record, but they have accepted a bid to play in the CollegeIndsider.com Postseason Tournament. “Credit to our guys and credit to our coaches, coach Jans … I’m glad to be with him and experience 20 wins with him,” Clarke said. “We are still going to play with a chip on our shoulder, we are still going to compete. We are still going to treat each day like it’s a championship day.”
BG trailed 7-1 late in the game against Illinois State, before registering a 6-run seventh inning to lock the game at 7-all. Illinois State eventually answered with a run in the bottom of the ninth to steal the game back and issue the Falcons another loss. “I was proud of how our team battled back to tie the game in the seventh inning,” Schmitz said. “To fall behind like we did and not give up speaks to the character of
this team.” The Falcons ended the invitational with two additional losses to Maine and Cornell. BG is 5-9 overall with MAC play now set to begin after the break. BG finished with 50 runs over the eight games, but conceded 56 runs to the opposition. Still, despite the sub.500 start to the season, the Falcons have improved on the 6-12 they had last season headed into MAC play.
However, Bison pitcher Krista Menke entered the invite as the nation’s leader in strikeouts. Menke struck out 16 Falcon batters and allowed only two hits in the 3-0 shutout. Menke moved to 11-2 on the year. The next day, the Fa lcons picked up wins against Indiana Universit y-Purdue University Fort Wayne and Wright State. The game against IPFW was only a five inning show, w ith Falcons scoring 12 runs to the Mastodons four. The team then scored five runs en route to a victory over Wright 5-3. BG now prepares for a matchup against Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday.

— BELL HOOKS —
REFLECTING ON HISTORY B
ell hooks was born Gloria Watkins. She took her pen name from her maternal great-grandmother as a way to honor her women ancestors. She chose to use lowercase letters to get away from the ego associated with names. bell hooks was born in Kentucky and her early life was marked by dysfunction. Her father represented the fierce oppression she would come to associate with the patriarchy. A need to escape her tumultuous home life was what first led hooks to poetry and writing. This love of the written word would later inspire her to comment on the healing “If any female feels she need power of critical thinking. anything beyond herself to In her early years, hooks combined her love of reading legitimate and validate her with public speaking, often existence, she is already giving reciting poems and scriptures away her power to be selfin her church congregation. defining, her agency.” Growing up in the south - Bell Hooks, Feminism Is for Everybody: also instilled in her a fear of Passionate Politics doing or saying the wrong thing. These early fears almost discouraged her from pursuing her love of writing. She received almost no support from her family, who felt that women were better suited for a more traditional role. The social atmosphere of the then-segregated south added to their discouragement. hooks chose to rebel against this by adopting the pseudonym of her great-grandmother and creating an other self that was linked to her female ancestors who were defiant in their need to achieve speech. By creating this other self, hooks empowered herself to fight back against the opposition that surrounded her. CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
