“Do not go where the path may lead you; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Book drive supports local reading program Kris Fronzak News Editor The women of Delta Theta Psi sur­ prised both the participants and leaders of Lincoln Way Reads program last week with a donation of $300 and 724 elementary­ level books. Half of the books were already labeled and leveled to determine the appro­ priate audience.

Lincoln Way Reads is a program funded by individual donors and the Noble Foun­ dation. Volunteers donate anywhere from one weekly 45 minute session to multiple sessions to help an elementary school child practice reading. Most volunteers are selec­ tively placed with a certain student, giving the program a “mentoring” feel.

The books were collected as a New Member Education project for the sorority, which currently has almost 50 members.

During the two weeks of new member edu­ cation and in the weeks following, the 18 women in the pledge class worked tirelessly to collect books. They distributed large col­ lection boxes around campus, advertised the event in WHN, the Pot and on Facebook, and tabled to work on fundraising.

“We spend a lot of time [at Lincoln Way] and wanted to give back,” explained Yassi Davoodi ’11. Davoodi, who came up with the idea, has been working with the reading program for three years.

“I’ve read the same books here year after year,” said Davoodi. “This seemed very do­ able, and a tangible way to give back.

“I had no idea what to expect. It com­ pletely exceeded our expectations.”

After some of the initial books were col­ lected, Loni Ben­Zvi ’13 organized a “level­ ing party” to label the books, which deter­ mines which books are proper for different children to read. It took 15 girls six hours to label 398 books — a feat that saved the program coordinator hours of labor.

Lorraine Boreman, the program coor­ dinator for almost a decade, couldn’t have been more pleased with the contribution.

“This sorority has been volunteering with Lincoln Way Reads for three or four years. Oftentimes sororities don’t get the positive recognition they deserve for what they do,” said Boreman.

“Five or 10 years from now, chil­ dren will still be reading these books. This is a gift that lasts a

long time.”

“I’m thinking about filling my book­ shelves to the brim,” Boreman stated, add­ ing that the children were going to love the increased variety.

“I have some very low readers in the program,” she stated. “Usually only half of them come up to grade level by the end of the year.”

Some of the determination behind the book drive came from respect for Boreman, Davoodi explained.

“She’s been a phenomenal program or­ ganizer. She’s so compassionate and cares about the kids so much,” Davoodi said.

Students at Lincoln Way Elementary School attend the lowest socioeconomic school in the district, a fact that contributes to the difficulty of providing children with education outside of the classroom.

“Coming here just twice a week really shows you the privilege of a quality educa­ tion,” said Miriam Wise ’11.

Despite hype, Kittredge probably not “fo’ life”

“Schultz Avenue,” a book about being raised in Wayne Country, has just been released by Dalton resident Robyn Berg Holbert. Using the pen name of Annie Harrison, Holbert examines the area as it once was in the sixties, seventies and eighties. “Schultz Avenue” will be available for purchase through local bookstores on May 17. (The Daily Record)

Despite the hopes of almost 500 Wooster students who have joined a Facebook group called “Kittredge fo’ Life,” Hospitality Services Director Chuck Wagers has confirmed that the chances of the dining hall reopening anytime in the near future are slim.

In the 2010­2011 academic year, a smaller student body and declining attendance for mealtimes at Kittredge prompted the administration to shut down the dining hall completely, only reopening it for special occasions. This academic year, the larger student body prompted hospitality services to reopen Kittredge for weekday lunches.

“We didn’t want Lowry to be crowded, so we created Scot Dogs, Pop’s Sub Stop and reopened Kittredge for lunches with a narrowed theme that also fit’s Kittredge’s environment,” Wagers explained. He aimed to make the program specific enough that more labor would not be needed to staff the kitchen, as that would defeat the purpose.

“Frankly, using Kitt for dinners would require labor we just don’t have,” he said, adding that many events and dinners are held there. “It is actually used, just not for student dinners.”

Lowry can seat 600 people Kittredge only seats half that amount. Kit­ tredge also drew a smaller group of diners — a number that gradually de­ clined at the years wore on.

But students everywhere still seem eager for the dining hall to resume serving dinners — 500 people who have joined the Facebook group can at­ test to that. .

Obama collaborates with Facebook’s Zuckerberg

SECTION EDITORS Gina Christo Kris Fronzak

Injustice in Syria sparks revolution Ramsey Kincannon Senior Staff Writer Syrians across the country used to chant, “Syria, God, Bashar — that is enough!” The third chant referred to a once­loved president of the Syrian Republic, who people of Syria are now rioting and pro­ testing in order to ensure his res­ ignation.

Bashar al­Assad is the successor of his father, Hafez, who had been acting president of Syria since 1971 — nine years after Syria an emergency law was enacted that suspended the rights of many of their citizens. Hafez al­Assad was respon­ sible for the Hama massacre, which was described by author Robin Wright as “the single deadliest act by any Arab govern­ ment against its own people in the modern Middle East,” with the low­ est death estimates being around 10,000 and the highest close at 80,000. That was the last time that Syrians protested their country’s crumbling under the rule of a mem­ ber of the al­Assad family.

Since al­Assad took over in 2000, his initial promises to change the social and political structure of the country have withered away.

Human rights groups have come away disgusted by Syrian policies, and due to the fact that the al­Assad family is in charge of the govern­ ment, army, and police, it’s hard not to see why. In addition, women and ethnic minorities have experienced much discrimination and there’s no protection of free speech or free­ dom of association. In fact, Human Rights Watch has given Syrus some of the lowest human rankings in the world.

Small protests had occurred during Bashar’s rule, but nothing nearly as enormous as the swell of protests that started in late Janu­ ary and are still raging. Much like the situations in Egypt and Libya, the protests started slowly — and about the same goal: free elections and more human rights — and have

Obama sat down with Zuckerberg to establish his committ­ ment to online networking (Photo by AP).

Gina Christo News Editor Last week President Barack Obama visited the offices of the social networking website Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, and Obama held a town hall­style meeting with the staff of Facebook. Start­ ing with an anecdote, Obama launched into a brief retelling of a dinner party he at­ tended in February with the 26­year­ old Zuckerberg and about a dozen other tech­industry elites.

There, Zuckerberg sat to the president’s immediate right.

Obama said, “I’m the guy who got Mark to wear a jacket and tie. Halfway through dinner, he’s starting to sweat a bit. It’s really uncomfortable for him.

I helped him out of his jacket.”

After the pair of Harvard alumni chummed around, the town hall meet­ ing took a more serious turn. The un­ derlying theme of the conversation was information technology, however, Obama did slip in his platforms on federal deficit, education, healthcare and immigration into each of his an­ swers. Obama tied in his 2008 cam­ paign rhetoric with his commitment to supporting America’s progression through online sites like Facebook.

“Historically, part of what makes for a healthy democracy, what is good politics, is when you have citizens who are informed, who are engaged.

And what Facebook allows us to do is make sure this isn’t just a one­way conversation,” Obama told CNN. Not only did Obama get to reestablish his campaign, but this town meeting gave Facebook the opportunity to validate itself in the eyes of Washington D.C. which has been the most recent mo­ tive of Facebook.

Zuckerberg is not the only tech­ nology guru Obama paid a visit to last week. Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt and Steve Jobs, the Apple founder, were among a dozen business leaders who met with him in the Sili­ con Valley.

Also attending were leaders Twit­ ter, Yahoo!, NetFlix and Oracle, and the president of Stanford University.

Obama met with those leaders in an effort to reach out to the business

community because unemployment remains at nine percent and Obama needs corporate America to hire.

The meeting with Zuckerberg has given citizens insight into Obama’s goals and reelection campaign. He wants to spend billions on clean en­ ergy, education and high­speed Inter­ net. The president argued that targeted spending, including education initiatives aimed at producing a more sophisticated workforce, will make America’s future work force more vi­ able and competitive.

The support of Sili­ con Valley’s leading innovators and job creators could make the implementation of this spending easier.

Taliban stage mass-escape from Afghan prison Last Sunday, approximately 540 members of the Taliban escaped from an Afghanistan prison in Kandahar using a 320­meter tunnel dug from outside of the jail.

Although the majority of the escapees were foot soldiers in the Taliban, 106 were commanders. Only 26 have been recaptured at this point.

The incident was only discovered four hours after the last of the escapees left the premises.

The tunnel itself, which was dug by fighters out­ side the prison, took an estimated five months to complete.

It’s been speculated that the Taliban used modern technology in digging the tunnel.

Prison guards were most likely involved in the operation.

This is not the first mass­breakout from the prison. In 2008, Taliban fighters blasted through the entrance and helped almost all of the 1,150 prisoners to escape. The prison was also the scene of a large­scale hunger strike in May of the same year. Hundreds of inmates participated; dozens even sewed their lips shut in defiance.

According to Al­Jazeera, the break constitutes a “big success” for the Taliban and will have a dra­ matic effect on the fight against the Taliban in the area. Considered the birthplace of the Taliban, Kandahar and the surrounding province, have hosted some of the worst fighting in Afghanistan.

LETTER TO THE EDITORS To the editors: Anyone glancing at the lead story in last week’s Voice could be forgiven for thinking that the College is planning to a) increase the size of the stu­ dent body dramatically and b) build a new residence hall to accommodate that growth. (“Deliberation continues over new dorm,” April 22, 2011) Neither is the case.

This year’s bumper crop of 600+ first­years notwithstanding, Wooster is, and will continue to be, a college of about 2,000 students, of whom 1,850 or so are on campus at any one time (with the rest studying abroad or enrolled in domestic off­campus programs). There is no new residence hall in the works.

The campus master planning process now underway will produce, as the article notes, “a comprehensive assessment of our facilities needs and priori­ ties,” including “a comprehensive plan for student residences.” Such a plan will evaluate our current stock of student housing from a variety of angles.

Do we have the right mix of housing options? Are there facilities in need of renovation or replacement? If so, how might we tackle those needs in a phased way? And so on.

The last master plan was developed in 2000, updated about five years ago, and has guided our campus stewardship efforts for a decade. In other words, this is, by its nature, a long­term planning process.

Sincerely, John L. Hopkins Associate Vice President for College Relations & Marketing

Trumped-up claims for 2012

I

wouldn’t be surprised if I capture a communal sentiment here at Wooster when I say I am sick of the media’s contin­ ued speculation of whether or not Donald Trump will run for presi­ dent in 2012. I mean, come on, ANTHONY DOMINGUEZ Trump, according to the New York City Board of Elections, you haven’t voted in a presidential primary in over two decades! But hey, the media loves to play on fear, and frankly the thought of a real estate mogul who builds property exclusively for rich people being presi­ dent of the United States is an alarming one. The fact is, wealth distribution in the U.S. is the most unequal it has ever been since 1928, the year before the Great Depression. Aren’t we supposed to be coming out of a recession? While that is a topic for another debate, you can’t help but think the plutocrats that really run this country wouldn’t mind having a billionaire businessman calling the shots in Washington, D.C. Whether this speculation is sins­ cere or not, we should not just blame the mainstream media for this whole Trump extravaganza. After all, he has tossed up plenty of claptrap the past few weeks for all the talking heads to babble about. Let’s examine a few of his most outrageous claims. After flip­flopping opinions about who is the worst presi­

dent in U.S. history, he has had quite a bit to say regarding President Obama.

In an interview with the Huffington Post on April 25, Trump made the claim that Obama was not qualified to attend Columbia University or Harvard Law School, stating, “I heard he was a ter­ rible student, terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?” Bro, like the fact that your dad was a billionaire real estate tycoon didn’t help you get into Fordham or UP Wharton School of Business? For the record, Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991.

Trump has also played the all too familiar “birther” card in the GOP presidential nomination game of poker.

Donald, dude, Hawaii made Obama’s birth certificate public information, this isn’t even a topic for debate anymore. If Trump actually wanted the GOP presi­ dential nomination, one would think he would separate himself from other GOP candidates by sidestepping this fictitious claim — a claim that, in my opinion, is a frightening representation of a 21st century form of legal racism towards the first black president in our nation’s history.

Perhaps Trump’s most outrageous assertion is that we, or really his billion­ aire corporate oil buddies — because you know the U.S. is not nationalizing that shit — should just seize the oilfields of Iraq and Libya to deal with rising oil prices as a form of reimbursement for the money we spent during occupation.

When questioned in an April 18 inter­ view with ABC News if this would be stealing another country’s natural re­ sources, Trump responded, “Excuse me.

You’re not stealing anything. You’re taking — we’re reimbursing ourselves — at least, at a minimum, and I say more. We’re taking back $1.5 trillion to reimburse ourselves.” Trump, buddy, the whole “God loves America” Mani­ fest Destiny garbage is so 19th century.

We already killed most of the Ameri­ can Indians. Why don’t you read a his­ tory book instead of wondering who your wife is cheating on you with when she is out for a movie night? But to hell with it, we are the modern day empire anyway.

Let’s be realistic here, Trump couldn’t really win the GOP presidential nomi­ nation, could he? I mean, the Republican Party learned their lesson with Sarah Palin, right? In another recent USA poll, 46 percent of Republicans said that they definitely would not vote for Trump in the primaries if he declared his presidential bid. However, the jury is still out on Trump. Even well­respected conservative writer Thomas Sowell has stated that Trump could be Obama’s “Trump card” in his campaign for re­ election. I’m admittedly a pretty lefty guy, so with this in mind, keep it coming Donald, keep it coming.

A Wooster Bucket List Time for Peace: Israel & Palestine T

here are 17 days left until graduation. Seventeen days until seniors leave behind both the good and the bad of Wooster, Ohio, includ­ ing Lowry, all­ nighters, Fri­ day nights at the UG, exams, LISA HAZELTON Sunday morn­ ing breakfasts at Farmer Boy and many of our friends. I don’t know how this happened, seeing as I’m 100 percent positive I was living in Compton last year dancing to Lady Gaga and freaking out about a paper I had to write for First­Year Semi­ nar. Even though I’m completely in denial that we’re leaving in a little over two weeks, I know we have to make these last few weeks count. As a senior filled with nostalgia caused by the little amount of time we have left here, I have some advice for how underclassmen can make the most of the time they have.

1. Explore Wooster. Wooster is filled with great restaurants like City Square, Broken Rocks, Muddy Wa­ ters, Old Jaol and Hero House, and they are definitely worth investigat­ ing before you leave. Also, Wooster has a collection of unique stores like the Bead Café, Pink Tomato, the Gift Corner and Everything Rubbermaid.

We’re also very close to great salons like Tricia Marie’s and Spa Collec­ tions. I know that sometimes it can be hard to find time to get outside of the College, but downtown can be really fun if you know where to go.

2. Spend as much time with friends as possible. This may be obvious, but sometimes we take friends for grant­

ed, thinking that they will always be just down the hall or two dorms over.

However, we all have friends who live all over the United States and the world, and after graduation, sad as it is, we won’t be able to see them as much. It’s important that we take advantage of the time we have with them now and live it up.

3. Get involved. I know we’ve all heard how important being in a club or having a leadership role is in get­ ting a job after graduation, but it can also be really fun if you find the right group for you. I joined a so­ rority my first year and was also one of the founding members of Cook­ ing Club my sophomore year. Not only has that been a great addition to my resume, but it also helped me meet some of my best friends. Scot Spirit Day is a great way to become informed about the clubs Wooster al­ ready has — and we have a lot — and if you can’t find one you want to join, you can always start your own!

Honestly though, the most impor­ tant thing to do with your time left here is have fun. Whether it’s spend­ ing time with friends, taking a late night Taco Bell run, going to Amish Country — which is actually really fun — or going to a movie, just do whatever makes you happy. We all know Wooster’s course load can be intense, and at times it seems impos­ sible to take even a 10 minute break for dinner, but you should be able to look back at your time in college and remember how great these four years were and how many lasting memories you made.

I

n previous weeks, Dan Hanson ’12 and Joseph McCarthy ’11 wrote about the Israeli­Palestinian conflict.

On one hand, Hanson shared an extreme view of Israel’s Zion­ ism ideology. On the other hand, McCarthy por­ ADEL EL­ADAWY trayed Arabs as extremist and le­ gitimized Israel’s actions.

Let me start by expressing the need for the creation of a Palestinian state.

A two­state solution is the only option we have today that can secure the exis­ tence of the Jewish state of Israel. But, if we wait, this goal will become harder to achieve. Let us assume that we have a one­state solution. This would be the downfall of a Jewish state, since Mus­ lim and Christian Arabs would repre­ sent the majority of the population in a democratic country. The only way for a Jewish one­state scenario to succeed is by implementing an apartheid system.

Of course, the international communi­ ty, particularly the United States, would not support an apartheid system. It is in both parties’ interests to choose the pathway of a two­state solution. They have to get back on the negotiation table without preconditions. This is not a new idea, but one that helped Sadat achieve peace between Egypt and Israel more than 30 years ago.

I would also like to emphasize that violence is not the solution to the Is­ raeli­Palestinian conflict. McCarthy ar­ gues that the 2008­2009 Gaza invasion was successful because “Rocket attacks dramatically dropped in the months fol­ lowing the operation, proving that for Israel, the use of force is far more ef­

fective in stopping terror.” I strongly disagree with this opinion. I believe that the Gaza invasion bolstered the inter­ national public opinion against Israel, while at the same time gave some sort of legitimacy to Hamas’ ideology. It provided more justification for extrem­ ist ideology throughout the region. Is­ rael will never defeat Hamas’ ideology with force, but rather by working with moderates like Fatah in the West Bank.

The only way to defeat ideologies rep­ resented by Hamas and similar orga­ nizations is to work hard for peace and encourage moderate and democratic el­ ements. I doubt that violent actions will help Israel and extremist Palestinians in the future. I am convinced that dia­ logue and negotiations are the pathway to peace through the creation of two nation states.

The U.N. Goldstone report details the disproportionate use of violence against Palestinians in the 2008­2009 Gaza invasion. It emphasized Israel’s and Hamas’ crimes against human­ ity. McCarthy mentions Justice Rich­ ard Goldstone’s recent retractions of his charges against Israel. However, the three other authors of the U.N. report responded in a long statement published in The Guardian. They ex­ plained, “We regret the personal attacks and the extraordinary pressure placed on members of the fact­finding mission since we began our work in May 2009.

This campaign has been clearly aimed at undermining the integrity of the re­ port and its authors. Had we given in to pressures from any quarter to sanitize our conclusions, we would be doing a serious injustice to the hundreds of in­ nocent civilians killed during the Gaza conflict, the thousands injured, and the hundreds of thousands whose lives

continue to be deeply affected by the conflict and the blockade.” I believe the report still carries significant credibility and provides accurate insights into the crimes of Israel and Hamas.

Furthermore, I was very disappointed about the negative portrayal of Jewish Zionists and Arabs in the previous ar­ ticles. The majority of Jews would like to see a Palestinian state. Also, not all Arabs are violent and share Hamas’ ideology. I disagree with McCarthy’s conclusion concerning “Arab’s desire to see Israel ‘wiped off the map.’” Coming from a diplomatic family that has sacri­ ficed for two generations for the cause of peace with Israel, I consider McCar­ thy’s statement to be false.

There are extremists on both sides of the equation who advocate for violence and war. But there are more who call for peace, dialogue and moderation. A group like Hamas does not represent Arabs. In fact, Egypt and Jordan, two Arab countries, have peace treaties with Israel. The Arab League put forward an Arab Peace Initiative proposal in 2002, in which one could see the willingness of Arab states to officially recognize Israel.

Today, some are pessimistic about the future of peace in the Middle East. The facts on the ground show a minority of extremists on both sides who are advo­ cating violence and a majority who are calling for peace. What do we do? Do we give in to the extremists or encour­ age the moderates? Dialogue and nego­ tiations are difficult, yet I believe this is the only path to achieve a just and se­ cure peace for Israel and Palestine.

Softball splits conference matchups

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD The men’s and women’s track and field teams traveled to Gambier, Ohio on Saturday to compete in the Kenyon Invi­ tational at Kenyon College. Eleven women finished in the top three of their respective events, which is a school record. Mer­ edith Shaul ’12 and Erin Plews­Ogan ’13 finished first and second, respectively, in the 1500 meters. Colleen O’Neil ’13 took first place in the 5000 meters. Whitney Rappole ’11 won the 400 meters. Abena Boamah­Acheampong ’13 tied her own school record with five foot, five inch high jump to win her competition. Second­place finishes included Kelsie Herring ’12 in the 800 meters, Katharina Kroll ’12 in the javelin throw and Stephanie McShane ’13 in the 100 meter dash. Miriam Wise ’11 finished third in the long jump and the triple jump, and Sar­ ah Appleton ’12 finished third in the 3000 meter steeplechase.

In men’s competition, Kevin DeGroot ’13 and Morgan Clark ’14 placed first and second, respectively, in the 3000 meter steeplechase. Ethan Deselem ’13 finished third in the 200 me­ ter dash and Sean Twining ’11 earned third in the long jump.

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S GOLF The men’s golf team hosted the Nye Intercollegiate last weekend at the Wooster Country Club. The Nye Intercolle­ giate is the first of two scoring events that will make up the final standings in the NCAC. The Fighting Scots finished in fifth place out of nine teams behind a total score of 637. Their score of 331 on Saturday tied them for fifth place behind rival Wittenberg University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Denison University and Allegheny College.

Wooster came closer to the top three with a 306 shooting performance on Sunday, led by Blake Sword ’12 and his one­ under 71. The Scots are now nine strokes out of the top three.

Last weekend the women’s golf team hosted the first leg of the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships. Play was held at the Wooster Country Club, which is a par­72 course.

The Scots placed third out of the six­team field.

Rainey Sullivan ’14 posted the Fighting Scots’ best score of the weekend with a 92 on Saturday. She followed up this score with a second round score of 105, giving her a total of 197 for the weekend. Leading the team’s two­day score was Janet Zahorsky ’12, who posted a 99 in round one and a 96 in round two, giving her a total score of 195 for the weekend. Next week the Fighting Scots will compete in the second part of the NCAC tournament.

NFL Although U.S. District Judge Susan Nelson forced the NFL to lift its lockout on Monday, allowing players to return to team facilities, the players that were allowed in were told that they could not work out. According to ESPN.com, the league issued a statement asking for players to be “treated with cour­ tesy and respect,” but also saying that they need “a few days to sort this out.”

While the order from Nelson should be seen as reason for optimism about the state of the coming season, there is still a long process from this point on if there is going to be football this fall.

MLB Despite some early season struggles, the Boston Red Sox have climbed back into the AL Eastern Conference over the last week with a five­game winning streak. After losing the first six games of the season the Red Sox swept the Los Ange­ les Angels of Anaheim last weekend.

The Cleveland Indians started off the week atop the Ameri­ can League Central Division with a one­and­a­half game lead over the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers. Today the Indians will start a division series against the Tigers.

Travis Marmon Sports Editor The softball team earned a pair of wins last Thursday against Al­ legheny College in Meadville, Pa. The Scots (11­19, 3­7 NCAC) led 3­0 after the top of the first in­ ning in the opening game, thanks to RBIs by Erica Villa ’13 and Danielle Grooms ’14, as well as a run scored by Villa off of a wild pitch.

The Gators (5­17, 2­6 NCAC) scored a run at the bottom of the first and three RBIs in the second inning to take a 4­3 lead.

In the fifth inning, with Grooms on first base and Gina Pirolozzi ’13 on third, Grooms sprinted to steal second base and forced the Allegheny catcher to attempt to throw her out. This opened up an opportunity for Pirolozzi to steal home plate and tie the game at 4­4 in a gutsy fashion.

The teams remained deadlocked until the eighth inning. Facing two outs with the bases loaded, Lauren Swinehart ’12 hit a grand

slam to right centerfield to give Wooster an 8­4 lead. Allegheny was only able to produce one hit at the bottom of the inning, sealing a victory for the Scots.

In the second game, pitcher Jenn Horton ’13 gave up only five hits and no runs and hit a two­run homer herself in the third inning.

Wooster also scored off of a RBI

by Kelley Johnson ’13 in the fourth inning and an unearned run by Pirolozzi in the fifth. The Scots walked away with a 4­0 victory and a sweep in the doubleheader.

However, Wooster had no such luck during Saturday’s double­ header at home against archrival Wittenberg University (11­18, 5­5 NCAC) during the StrikeOut Can­ cer event, which raised money for The Benefit of Mason O’Donnell, a charity that helps children affected

by Leukemia.

After the Scots gave up two runs at the top of the third inning in the first game, Swinehart batted in Ra­ chel Frank ’12 to cut the Tiger lead to 2­1.

Unfortunately for Wooster, Wit­ tenberg was able to score four runs

in the fifth inning, batting through its entire lineup. Johnson hit a RBI and scored on a fielding error for the Scots, making the game 6­3 in favor of the Tigers. Wooster only produced one hit in the final two innings, sealing the victory for Wittenberg.

In the second game, both teams scored a run in the first inning and were held scoreless in the second.

A three­run homer by Laura Rose in the third gave Wittenberg a 4­1 advantage, but Pirolozzi hit a two­ run shot to cut the deficit to 4­3.

The Tigers scored a run in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, while the Scots’ offense only man­ aged two hits for the rest of the game. Wittenberg won by a score of 7­3 to complete the sweep.

The Fighting Scots played the Oberlin College Yeowomen(2­22, 0­8 NCAC) on Wednesday after press time. They will complete their regular season with a double­ header at home against the Kenyon College Ladies (8­20, 2­6 NCAC) tomorrow.

The first game is at 1 p.m. and the second game is set for 3 p.m.

Baseball loses to conference foe DU Graham Zimmerman Sports Editor With an unwavering rainfall muddying Art Murray Field, the baseball team was only able to play two of its five scheduled games this past weekend. Af­ ter defeating non­conference foe Muskingum University (12­20) 5­4 on Thursday, the squad lost 8­3 to Denison University (16­ 20, 8­7 NCAC) before having to postpone the second game of the day’s doubleheader. Sunday’s dou­ bleheader at Allegheny College (13­14, 5­6 NCAC) was also post­ poned due to poor weather.

On Thursday, Wooster (19­12, 9­4 NCAC) welcomed Musk­ ingum to Art Murray Field for a one game stand. The match was relatively quiet through the first seven innings. However, with the game tied 2­2 at the bottom of the eighth, leadoff hitter Zac Mathie ’14 crushed the ball to homer over the right fence.

Wooster looked like it would seal the win in the top of the ninth after closer Tyler Fugate ’11 and the Scots’ infield forced two outs. However, Muskingum’s Ty­ ler Hardcastle cranked a two­run home run to put the Muskies up one. After drawing two walks in

the bottom of the ninth, Wooster loaded the bases with an excellent bunt by Eddie Reese ’14. With two runners in scoring position, Derek Wyman ’11 drove the ball into left field, allowing Wooster to score the game tying and winning runs and giving him his second career walk off hit.

The next day the Scots welcomed Denison for a crucial late­season match between the two conference rivals. The game seemed within reach through the first three in­ nings. In each of the first two frames, Wooster escaped the in­ ning with bases loaded double plays. Wooster notched its first run at the bottom of the first in­ ning after a Mathie double pushed Wyman across home plate.

With the game tied 1­1 head­ ing into the third inning, the Big Red knocked off three consecutive runs. Denison never looked back as it put two more runs on the board in both the fourth and sixth in­ nings, respectively.

In the sixth inning Wooster tried to inch back up the scoreboard af­ ter gaining one unearned tally and subsequently loading the bases.

Unfortunately they would leave the runners stranded.

Wooster once again left three run­ ners on the bases in the bottom of

the seventh inning. Wooster was able to knock off 11 hits on the day, but unfortunately stranded 12 players on base. Steve Hagen ’14, one of seven Scots pitchers on the day, got the loss and moved his sea­ son record to 3­3.

This was Denison’s first win over Wooster since April 12, 2008 and its first win at Art Murray Field since May 4, 2003. Even with the loss, however, Wooster still sits on top of North Coast Athletic Con­ ference standings heading into this week’s conference tournament.

With a few weeks left in the sea­ son, Greg Van Horn ’11 leads the Scots with a .416 hitting percent­ age, followed by Mathie and Zack Vesco ’11, with .350 and .337 re­ spectively. Van Horn and Mathie are tied for the most hits with 42 apiece, followed by Michael Well­ stead ’13 and Vesco.

Mathie’s success has helped prove the words of Head Coach Tim Pet­ torini earlier this season to be true, in which he explained his optimism for the crop of very young talent coming into the program.

Wooster traveled to Chillicothe, Ohio, to play Wittenberg Univer­ sity in the conference tournament first round Thursday after press time. They hope to continue their action through the weekend.

Lacrosse teams falter against tough conference opponents Mike Haggerty Sports Editor The men’s lacrosse team (4­9, 1­3 NCAC) suffered two losses in a row last week, dropping games to both Wittenberg University (11­0, 4­0 NCAC) and Whittier College (4­6). Despite opening the game against No.13 Wittenberg with a closely contested first half, the Fighting Scots eventually fell to the Tigers 11­3. Joe Suliman ’11 led the Scots, scoring all of the team’s three goals.

Early in the second quarter the Scots came within one goal of ty­ ing the score, but unfortunately the offensive power of the Tigers soon overwhelmed the Scots’ defense.

The Tigers scored five goals in the second half, cementing a victory over the Scots.

The team’s struggles continued into the game against Whittier College (4­6) on Sunday with a 5­2 loss against their non­conference opponent.

Wooster struggled throughout the entirety of the game, fall­ ing behind 2­0 in the opening five minutes of the game. Wooster’s only two goals came from Patrick

Schlick ’13 and Matt Ranck ’13.

The men’s lacrosse season will come to a close tomorrow when they face NCAC conference rival Kenyon College (4­8, 0­3 NCAC).

The women’s lacrosse team (9­ 5,4­2 NCAC) also suffered through two tough losses last week, fall­ ing to both Allegheny College and Denison University.

On Thursday the Scots lost by a one­goal deficit to the Allegheny Gators (12­5, 4­2 NCAC).

Neither team ever held a com­ fortable lead throughout the

match, but an Allegheny goal with just two minutes remaining on the clock secured the Gators’ victory.

Despite scoring 13 goals, the Scots were unable to defend against an overwhelmingly powerful Allegh­ eny offense.

The Scots were led by Eileen Barrer ’11 with five goals, while Madison Carey’ 12, Nina Dine ’11 and Clare Nelson­Johnson ’13 each contributed two.

The Scots suffered another dev­ astating loss on Saturday to the Denison University Big Red (11­4, 6­0 NCAC). Early in the game the Scots took a 2­0 lead although the Big Red later went on a four­goal run, giving Denison a 7­3 lead at the half.

Wooster responded at the begin­ ning of the second with a four­goal run of its own, although Denison finished off the match with a 10­9 victory. Dine and Carey led the Scots’ offensive with three goals apiece but the Big Red’s offense was too much to overcome.

This loss dropped the Fight­ ing Scots to No. 3 in the NCAC standings and pitted them against Allegheny in the semifinals of Thursday’s NCAC Tournament at Allegheny, which occurred after press time.

Schools can’t comply with Title IX

BY THE NUMBERS

The number of playoff games won by the Memphis Grizzlies prior to this year’s series against the San Antonio Spurs. Founded in 1995 as the Vancouver Grizzlies before moving to Memphis in 2001, the team has traditionally been one of the NBA’s worst franchises. The Spurs have won four of the last 12 NBA Championships.

The number of judges it took to overturn the NFL owner’s lockout.

On Monday, federal district court judge Susan Richard Nelson declared that NFL players were suffering irreparable harm due to the NFL lockout. This ruling has added yet another element to this escalating conflict, which is only becoming more and more of an issue.

Last Tuesday, The New York Times reported that many Div. I schools are misrepresenting the number of stu­ dents participating in sports so they can comply with Title IX. Among the tactics is padding rosters of women’s teams with students who do not play a varsity collegiate sport.

Title XV of the Education Amend­ ments of 1972 is a U.S. law which was enacted on June 23, 1972 and amended Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under Title IX, “No persons in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the bene­ fits of, or be subjected to discrimina­ tion under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

The New York Times highlighted three different schools that are abus­ ing their Title IX rights. At the Uni­ versity of South Florida, more than half of the 71 women on the cross­

country roster failed to run a race in 2009. When asked about it, a few laughed and said they did not know they were on the team.

At Marshall University, the wom­ en’s tennis coach recently invited three first year onto the team even though he knew they were not good enough to practice against his scholarship athletes, let alone com­ pete. They could come to practice whenever they liked, he told them, and would not have to travel with the team.

Div. I universities have the ability to demonstrate compliance with Ti­ tle IX in one of three ways. Firstly, they could show that the number of female athletes is in proportion to overall female enrollment. The have the option of demonstrating a histo­ ry of expanding opportunities. They may also show that they are meeting the athletic interests and abilities of their female students.

The incentive to comply with Title IX regulations and keep more wom­ en on teams allows for the men’s

sports team rosters to be larger.

At Marshall University, the wom­ en’s tennis coach added three fresh­ man walk­ons to comply with the athletic department’s 10­player team minimum.

Practices for these walk­ons are optional this year, but they are ex­ pected to participate in regular prac­ tices next semester when their class­ es are scheduled more conveniently for team participation.

Similarly, Texas A&M, which just won the women’s Division I basket­ ball championship, reported 32 play­ ers in the 2009­10 academic year, although 14 were men. According to ESPN, women have grown to 53 percent of the student body at Divi­ sion I schools, yet make up 46 per­ cent of all athletes.

Instead of putting money into new women’s teams or trimming football rosters, which can have 111 players, some schools are engaging in “ros­ ter management,” the Times said.

Shrinking budgets can prompt such an approach.

THE FORMER GREENSKEEPER

Local fishing hole provides rewards and relaxation Just past the rusty sawmills and train tracks bordering Wooster rests an old dirt road that lines it­ self with o v e r ­ grown Ohio tall­ GRAHAM grass and ZIMMERMAN aged pine trees. It’s the type of setting that easily lends refuge to wildlife and var­ mints, as Steve Webster will ex­ plain to anyone fortunate enough to accompany him how he enjoys carrying an old .22 rifle to ward off the occasional groundhog from sticking its neck up too far.

While it can be amusing, the rea­ son for traveling that road has never been for target practice.

Quietly resting a quarter mile up the matted dirt sits a sacred pond that, for a lucky few, holds some of the best bass fishing in Ohio.

I began fishing with Steve Web­ ster, the assistant men’s lacrosse coach at the College, four years ago after hearing rumors of a deep hollow packed with bass just past the reach of the town’s in­ dustrial air. One late fall day after the sun’s rays had reached deep enough to stir the water awake, I

Steve Webster holds up the number two for the second bass of the day he caught just outside the Wooster town limits at the Honeyhole (Photo by Graham Zimmerman). found out firsthand how true the ru­ mors of the Honeyhole were.

It did not matter what was at the end of our rods that day, whether it be top spinners, worms or crank baits, the bass bit everything. Our success did not come from my begin­ ner’s luck either, as Webby rattled

off a tale of how he once caught 10 bass on his first 10 casts into the lil­ ies. I have been able to return to the eternal Honeyhole numerous times since my first year. Never once have I left unsatisfied.

Over time, I’ve discovered that my fulfillment has not come from the

feeling of a nibble at the end of my rod or finishing the day with the most catches. It has instead come from the most natural pursuit, one bound by the cast of my line into the water, of a union between the out­ doors and myself.

Although the Honeyhole will re­

main secret to the few who fish it, there nonetheless exist plenty of streams and rivers in Wooster that can provide that same fulfillment.

Two weeks ago, Trout Unlimited released 2,500 rainbow trout into the two­mile stream that spines through Grosjean Park just south of campus. If you plan on using a fly rod, the trout will bite nymphs through most of the season while dry flies will be the best option on a muggy day or after a storm.

I have never been one to kill the fish I catch. Because of this, I have been able to forgo the frustration that inevitably accompanies those who use fishing as a tool for their own conquests.

So if you find yourself at Gros­ jean, please practice catch and re­ lease. It will also give the trout an opportunity to survive long enough to find a home in the stream. As Dick Blalock once said, “I will never kill another trout. There are too few of them in the world, and each one is too precious to do something as wasteful as eating it.”

It is easy to get lost in the daily stress and commitments when at Wooster, but as I have found, it is just as easy to rid yourself of that stress. Catching fish has never been easy, but with the right perspective, the experience of fishing will al­ ways be rewarding.
