COLUMBUS — Heading into the homestretch of the midterm elec-tions, President Barack Obama is targeting key Democratic constitu-encies as he tries to energize voters and build up Election Day turnout among his supporters.

The groups Obama is targeting mirror those that helped him win the White House: young people, African-Americans and women. A crucial element of the president’s strategy in the two weeks before the Nov. 2 election is to find a way to get first-time voters from 2008 to head back to the polls even though Obama’s name isn’t on the ballot.

Speaking before a lively crowd of 35,000 during a Sunday night rally on the campus of Ohio State University, the president sought to recapture the enthusiasm of his presidential campaign, urging Democrats not to give up in the face of polls that pre-dict sweeping defeats for the party in November.

“You can defy the conventional wisdom, the kind that says you can’t overcome the cynicism of our politics,” Obama said, his voice hoarse from three straight days of campaigning.

The White House said Sunday’s crowd was the largest Obama had spoken to since his inauguration.

Obama was joined in Ohio by first lady Michelle Obama, their first joint campaign appearance since the presidential election. The first lady has been on a campaign swing of her own, putting a personal spin on the election.

“When I think about the issues facing our nation right now, I think about what that means for our girls,” Mrs. Obama told the crowd.

The president has been blunt in recent campaign stops, acknowl-edging that with 9.6 percent unem-ployment, the sputtering economy makes this election season difficult for Democrats.

“It’s hard because we’ve been through an incredibly difficult time as a nation,” Obama said Sunday.

“We’ve gone through a tougher time than any time in the lifetime of most

of us.”Sunday’s rally at Ohio State

was one of five the president was scheduled to attend before Election Day, all designed to remind the Democratic base of the enthusiasm Obama inspired during his presi-dential campaign.

The five rallies are all in states Obama won during his presi-dential bid, and all in states with competitive midterm races: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California and Nevada. Though Democratic officials say the presi-dent is casting a wide net and trying to reach the whole of the Democratic party, some rallies do target specific constituencies.

In Madison, Wis., late last month, Obama targeted young voters at the University of Wisconsin. Officials hoped last week’s rally in Philadelphia reached African-Americans, many of whom came to the polls for the first time in 2008 to support Obama. Democratic candidates like Pennsylvania Senate hopeful Joe Sestak need high turnout in urban areas like Philadelphia if they’re to overcome stiff Republican opposition.

Study shows antibiotics found in Ohio river

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A recently released study shows trace amounts of antibiotics in Ohio’s Scioto River system and in treated drinking water in Columbus.

The report issued by the U.S. Geological Survey last week found a dozen antibiotics — including a drug used to treat bacterial infections and anthrax

— in the Scioto River. The study also shows three drugs in treated drinking water in Columbus.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that the amount of the drugs was 1,000 to 10,000 times lower than more commonly detected pollutants.

But the fact that the drugs were found in small

quantities doesn’t rule out the potential for harm-ful side effects in people or the environment, said Columbus-based hydrologist Greg Koltun, who helped review the report.

The Dispatch reports these antibiotics are part of a new class of water pollutants that also includes antidepressants, birth control and house-hold cleaners.

There aren’t government limits on these pol-lutants in streams or drinking water and scientists studying them say they don’t know whether there should be.

Past tests have indicated that at least 17 such contaminants — including caffeine and mosquito repellent — are in Columbus drinking water.

Columbus paid $125,000 in 2005 to help fund the study. City officials said they want to know how many pollutants are in the water so they can stay ahead of any drinking-water standards that federal officials might impose.

At an event Thursday in Seattle, Obama will focus on how the economic crisis has affected women. White House deputy communi-cations director Jen Psaki said Obama will argue that women who may have benefited from adminis-tration initiatives like the small business lending pro-gram would suffer under Republican leadership.

Obama is also using back-yard meetings and televised town halls, including one broadcast on MTV, BET and

CMT last week.White House officials

insist the president’s coast-to-coast campaigning is making a difference.

“There’s an excitement about what this president is trying to do. There’s an energy around it,” Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

But polls suggest Obama’s winning coalition from 2008 is crumbling. About one-quarter of those who voted for Obama are voting Republican in November or are consider-ing doing so, according to an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll.

herself again and prepare for the future.

“I had a lot of time to think about [the future],” Cohen said. “I really decided what I want to do [after gradua-tion].”

Cohen spent most of her time off at home. On Dec. 18, she traveled to Israel under the “Birthright Program.” The program offers a ten-day trip to the country, paying for everything from transporta-tion to accommodation.

“We went on tours and vis-ited a Holocaust museum, did a lot of walking. And [we] interacted with the soldiers. We learned about the culture and did some shopping,” Cohen said. “I impressed myself with how much I walked.

Cohen said she really learned to appreciate life and not take anything for granted after the time off. With a refreshing attitude, she came back to the uphill battle toward her degree, satisfied with her perfor-mance up to now.

Back at school, Cohen lost connections with her old friends. However, she said it was beneficial for her to have someone going through the same experience.

Jennifer Riha, also a senior and Cohen’s roommate, took last fall semester off, though for a different reason.

Faced with financial issues, Riha worked full-time in a day care in South Carolina, which was originally just a summer job. Even though

she constantly felt homesick for Ohio, Riha said she liked her job and it helped relieve the financial burden.

Riha said she did well in high school, but it was not until after the time off that she felt like her old self again.

“I hadn’t had enough moti-vations and didn’t do well before. Like, my freshman and sophomore year, the grades were not looking so good. But when I came back, I did so much better than I had been doing, like I got a 3.7 GPA. That’s definitely a huge benefit I got from the time off,” Riha said.

Riha said she expected to get more involved with the on-campus activities and is thinking about joining the University’s Art Education Association.

For students consider-ing taking time off, or for those returning to school after taking time off, the University Counseling Center is there to help.

Psychologist Stefani Hathaway, who works at the Counseling Center, said it is the student’s choice to take time off.

“There are a lot of differ-ent reasons why students have chosen to take time off. Some people take time off because other things in their lives are interfering with their academic work. That can be all kinds of things

— for example, stress, family problems or transitions, par-enting or caretaking, mili-tary service, financial issues, medical issues, struggles with emotional or mental health, traumatic experi-

ences, and so on,” Hathaway said. “Most students valued cost and benefit before they made the decision.”

Some students go find a job and work during the time off and others explore what their real life goals are, according to Hathaway. Some people deal with mental problems like substance abuse.

Some students revisit the Counseling Center after they return to school.

“Returning from the time off is another transition. It is a change for the student to work on. Any time ... related to a change, it is possible to be stressful,” Hathaway said.

The Counseling Center offers students suggestions on better ways to organize time, self-care methods, anxiety management and study strategies including testing tips, reading habits and writing skills.

Hathaway said students with mental and health issues may get better dur-ing the break, but that does not mean it will not hap-pen again. The Counseling Center helps returning stu-dents monitor themselves to prevent a relapse.

“There are more reasons we could name, but the main thing is that they can be positive reasons, negative reasons, or a mix of both, and they vary widely from person to person,” Hathaway said.

“When we’re working with people in the Counseling Center, we aim to offer sup-port, help people manage transitions and stressors, and help them make the best decisions they can.”

At college, I’ve been deter-mined to cut back on my tele-vision usage. I’m not alone in this conquest; many of my friends also attest to being too busy or disinterested in televi-sion since high school.

Returning home for the glo-rious fall break, I found myself shying away from normality and watching some harmless TV as my relaxed schedule permitted. I was met with the irascible beast that is political advertising.

This time of year brings many things to the fore: Leaves change colors, jack-ets necessitate themselves, and Halloween begins its approach. Oh, and for good-ness sake, don’t even think about voting for so-and-so. Commercial advertisements demand your utmost loyalty and consideration.

For an entire weekend, I was bombarded by messages from candidates of every possible political election. The adver-tisements ranged from county officials to state and national representatives.

At times, these ads com-pletely dominated the com-mercial breaks. During one area news broadcast, the entirety of televised advertise-ments was politically based.

The focus of such ads has become increasingly negative. That is, instead of promoting a certain candidate, commer-cial time is used only to con-demn and attack opposing candidates.

Such negative attention brings about contradiction and confusion. For example, an ad will run urging voters not to trust George Washington, but rather Thomas Jefferson. Immediately following is a commercial of Thomas Jefferson urging voting not to trust Washington, and so on.

Evidently, if viewers chose to take such advertisements seriously, every candidate

Smear campaigns on television reflect poorly on politicians

On Jan. 12, 1971, a new sitcom debuted on CBS. The net-work’s disclaimer before the first show read: “The program you are about to see is ‘All in the Family.’ It seeks to throw a humorous spotlight on our frailties, prejudices, and concerns. By making them a source of laughter we hope to show, in a mature fashion, just how absurd they are.”

“All in the Family” broke all the rules. It employed common epithets for homo-sexuals, Hispanics, Italians, Poles, Blacks, Chinese and Japanese. Nearly all of these came from the mouth of a character named Archie Bunker, who was a preju-diced blue-collar delivery dock foreman who lived in New York City. His foils were his liberal daughter and son-in law, who were also living in the Bunker house. Through comedy, they highlighted and revealed his prejudices.

At first there was outrage from the usual predictable sources. No one loved the show but the public. The show won nine Emmys and was nominated an additional

34 times. It scored four Golden Globe awards and was nomi-nated an additional 21 times. It was also the first major TV series to be filmed before a live studio audience.

Carroll O’Connor played Bunker for the eight consec-utive seasons that the show aired. In real life, O’Connor was rather liberal, but he was never personally challenged or called to account for play-ing Archie Bunker. He was an actor — a good one — and he knew how to separate himself from the role he played.

Fast-forward almost 40 years. Rich Iott, the Republican candidate for the Ninth Congressional District in Ohio, has been taken to task for appearing in a Nazi uniform during World War II reenactments. According to an Oct. 8 article in the Atlantic, in 2003 Iott and his son joined a group that reenacted a Nazi unit fighting on the eastern front. When his son lost inter-est three years ago, according to the article, Iott quit.

Predictably, everyone has chimed in. Iott’s opponent has taken him to task, as has a local clergyman. The Atlantic has also quoted two history professors, one as far away as North Carolina, who also are in opposition and who question Iott’s knowl-edge of history.

Full disclosure: I support Iott’s bid to unseat his oppo-nent, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. House. I am also ignorant of any legal requirement stat-ing that those who seek pub-lic office must have a “knowl-edge of history” — whatever that means.

Don’t misunderstand me. Using an epithet directly against anyone is a repre-hensible act. But in order to assign guilt, we must also look to motive or intent. I am convinced that neither O’Connor nor Iott believed in the philosophy espoused by their alter egos during a TV series or a military reen-actment. There’s simply no evidence that points to that conclusion.

From a strictly ethical point of view, there is no difference between Carroll O’Connor playing a bigot and Iott play-ing a Nazi. Neither subscribed to the underlying beliefs they represented while acting. It was just that — acting. The difference was that Iott was not compensated; O’Connor made $200,000 per show.

In less than 40 years, we’ve become too conservative, believe it or not. We’re now so afraid to offend anyone with anything — even humor directed to expose bigotry and prejudice. One of the slogans in the ‘60s and ‘70s was, “Free

to be you and me.” The new Progressive Era, spawned in the late ‘60s, was supposed to be “liberating.”

Those who were involved in the neo-Liberal move-ment are today in positions of authority. Guess what? They have become what they fought against. “All in the Family” will probably never be rebroadcast on American airwaves to any significant extent. The perceived blow-back would make it prohibi-tive. Too bad — the show was both insightful and funny.

There are people in this country who participate in military reenactments. Using the logic that some would apply to Iott’s situation, those who portray Confederate sol-diers favor slavery. And woe betide those who are not on the “right” side of a reenact-ment, should they later decide to run for political office.

Perhaps it’s time we revisit our society and ourselves. Humor, directed at exposing our faults and foibles, is valid and can be very effective. We should be able to look more deeply into a situation and be able to realize that those who portray others should not be judged merely on the basis of superficialities — whether garbed in worker’s clothing or a Nazi uniform.

TYLER BUCHANAN COLUMNIST

in every election is dishon-est, unqualified, and can-not appear in photographs unless in black and white with an unflattering expres-sion. They also hate you, your freedoms, and anything fluffy and cute. Heavens, think of the children!

Most recently, the 2008 presidential election saw candidates spending mil-lions of dollars in television advertisements. My personal memories of these campaigns include John McCain running ads purporting that Barack Obama supported sex-educa-tion for kindergarteners and subsequent ads from Obama inferring that McCain would bring further economic and military struggles if elected.

Historically, the strategy of publicly denouncing your competition is hardly a mod-ern development. In an age before social networking and even (gasp!) news pundits, newspapers and campaign pamphlets were incred-ibly lax regarding journalistic standards.

In 1828, the Cincinnati Gazette publicly displayed its contempt for candidate Andrew Jackson, printing some rather unfavorable remarks about Jackson’s mother. This perhaps explains modern related jokes — our middle schoolers could mere-ly be practicing early-19th century journalism.

If that wasn’t enough, Jackson’s opponent John Quincy Adams ran cam-paign flyers stating authori-tatively that “[if] Jackson is to be President, you will be HANGED.” I think this con-stitutes the most blatantly hyperbolic advertisement in American political history.

There was also the time where Martin Van Buren, the incumbent president in the 1840 election, was the subject of a complete public outcry when his opposing candi-date William Henry Harrison revealed that Van Buren installed a bathtub in the White House.

Americans, at the time more Paul Bunyan than Bill Gates,

were so swayed by Harrison’s portrayal of Van Buren being lavish and articulate that they voted him out of office, leaving him with a sense of humiliation and cleanliness. Since extreme liberties with campaigning and journal-ism exists currently and most definitely existed back in the 19th century, hasn’t anyone tried to restrict candidates from running such obvious smear campaigns? Doesn’t anyone care if public issues are covered equally and fairly, reflecting opposing views honestly with integrity?

Well, simply put, of the 221 years of American elections, such regulations existed loosely for at most 38 years.

The Fairness Doctrine, introduced in 1949 (but not officially by the Federal Communications Commission until 1981), established a public impor-tance for journalistic honesty and balance. Really, who could argue against that?

Oh, right, the pundits and politicians. No longer able to

publicly slander opponents and popularize unsubstanti-ated claims, such figures point-ed to the Doctrine’s hindering of the First Amendment’s right to free speech. In other words, the Fairness Doctrine revoked their freedom to manipulate America’s political discourse and audience.

As a result, slanderous tele-vision advertisements are cat-egorized as campaign strat-egies, and hyperbolic and extreme views are reported on news broadcasts dis-guised as “opinions.” Instead of responding to false claims and ads, the strategy of poli-ticians seems to be “counter with a harsher, more insulting publication.”

It’s an endless downward spiral. Freedom of speech wins again.

As a newly American voter, I’m finding it difficult to dig past the negativity. With nothing to stop them, can-didates make the truth even harder to ascertain. It’s going to be an interesting upcom-ing few weeks.

Colo. mountain climber killed in fall; 2 rescued

ESTES PARK, Colo. (AP) — The body of a 54-year-old Colorado climber killed in a fall at Rocky Mountain National Park has been flown out of the backcountry.

The National Park Service says James Charles Patrick, of Littleton, was climbing a glacier with two companions shortly before noon on Saturday when he fell more than 1,000 feet to his death.

Patrick carried the rope used by all three, which left the other two stuck on the mountainside. They called for help with a cell phone.

Rangers reached the two with ropes after about four hours and the climbers made it out safely from the glacier near Taylor and Powell peaks.

PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) — Rangers in Washington state suspect an encounter with a mountain goat killed a 63-year-old hiker in Olympic National Park.

The park service says Robert H. Boardman, of Port Angeles, was hurt Saturday as he hiked near the park’s Klahhane Ridge and died hours later at a Port Angeles hospital.

Officials did not provide any specifics on his injuries but said an early investigation indicates they were the result of an encounter with a goat.

Rangers tracked down and killed the animal, which will be analyzed by a veterinary patholo-gist.

Furniture truck backs over 2 Colo. women, kills 1

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — A furniture delivery truck backed over two women in suburban Denver, killing a 62-year-old woman standing by a mailbox.

A 70-year-old woman was injured in the Saturday afternoon accident in Centennial.

A witness tells KUSA-TV that he yelled for the truck driver to stop but the back tires rolled over the women, then the truck went forward and dragged them.

Margie Hermansen was pronounced dead at Littleton Hospital. The other woman had minor injuries and wasn’t named.

The truck driver hasn’t been arrested. The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office says the accident is still under investigation.

New Mexico man cleaning gun accidentally shoots mom, son

CHAPARRAL, N.M. (AP) — Investigators in New Mexico say a Chaparral man who was cleaning his handgun Saturday morning accidentally shot his 4-year-old son and the bullet passed through the boy and hit the man’s mother.

Dona Ana Sheriff ’s Department investigator Bo Nevarez says both are in critical condition but their wounds aren’t believed to be life-threatening.

He says the bullet struck the boy in his stomach and continued through to the grandmother and hit her in the abdomen.

Nevarez declined to identify the man.

Investigators regard it as an accident but are sending the case to prosecutors to determine whether negligence played a role.

2 killed in Arizona tour bus crash

KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) — A commercial tour bus carrying a dozen people drifted off an Arizona highway on Sunday and rolled several times, killing two people and injuring several oth-ers, authorities said.

The crash happened around 8 a.m. near the community of Meadview on the southeastern side of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, said Mohave County sheriff ’s spokeswoman Trish Carter.

The bus was headed from Las Vegas to the western rim of the Grand Canyon. The 12 people on board included the driver, who suffered minor injuries and has been cooperating with investiga-tors.

Carter said several passengers suffered serious injuries and were flown to hospitals in Las Vegas and nearby Kingman. The passengers’ names were not immediately released, but Carter said they may be tourists from another country.

Authorities did not have details about the owner of the bus.

Pa. man to give $1K for each jobless worker hired

NEWTOWN, Pa. — A 71-year-old philanthropist from suburban Philadelphia thinks he can solve the country’s unemployment woes one charitable donation at a time.

Gene Epstein plans to give $1,000 to charity in the name of businesses that hire an unem-ployed worker and keep them on the payroll for at least six months.

Epstein says he’ll spend up to $250,000.

Lawrence Gelburd, a lecturer at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, says the program will probably spur conversations about hiring.

But he and others aren’t sure the incentive is enough to get cash-strapped businesses to actually hire a jobless person.

Navajo closer than ever to electing woman leader

By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — Lynda Lovejoy walks past throngs of parade-goers in her traditional crushed vel-vet dress and moccassins, with her campaign button on the sleeve. Speaking through a microphone, she says she’ll bring fresh perspective to the Navajo government if elected presi-dent.

Her supporters shout, “You go girl!”

Others at the parade in Window Rock clearly don’t want to see her at the helm of the country’s largest American Indian reserva-tion. “I hope you lose,” one man shouts, then cov-ers his mouth and ducks into the crowd. Another woman declares support for Lovejoy’s opponent: “We want Ben Shelly. Women belong in the kitchen.”

No woman has served as Navajo president, although the matriarchal society has strong reverence for women

as caretakers and heirs to everything from home site leases to sheep. When intro-ducing themselves, Navajos start with their mother’s clan name.

With Lovejoy garnering twice as many votes as any of the ten men and a second woman in a recent primary, the Navajo Nation appears closer than ever to electing a woman as its leader. But that doesn’t mean Lovejoy’s can-didacy is widely accepted as she and Shelly approach the Nov. 2 election.

After 9 years and Condit’s fall, Levy case begins trial

Matthew Barakat The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — If one person is associated with the mysterious slaying of Washington intern Chandra Levy, it isn’t the man who will soon be tried on charges he murdered her. It’s former California congressman Gary Condit, whose politi-cal career imploded after he was romantically linked to the woman and became the No. 1 suspect.

Ingmar Guandique, an

illegal immigrant from El Salvador, goes on trial Monday for Levy’s 2001 killing. However, he’s not even a blip on the national consciousness of the case, which dominated news cov-erage until the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks rendered it an afterthought.

While police no longer believe Condit had anything to do with Levy’s death, his presence will continue to hang over the trial. Condit’s spokesman, Bert Fields, said Condit expects to be called

as a witness at Guandique’s trial, though he has not been subpoenaed.

Fields said Condit will cooperate fully with author-ities. But the ex-congress-man, who is writing a book about his experience, will not comment on the trial until it ends.

Bill Miller, a spokesman for the prosecutors’ office, declined comment on the case and whether Condit will be called as a witness, citing a gag order issued ear-lier this month.

SO CLOSE: Temple defensive back Marquise Liverpool (28) breaks up a two-point conversion attempt intended for BG’s Kamar Jorden in what was the final play in the Owls’ 28-27 win Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Notes: Falcons lose game, players in Philadelphia

By Sean ShapiroSenior Reporter

PHILADELPHIA — For the third time this season, the Falcons lost one at the buzzer.

In their season opener against Troy, they watched as a 34-yard field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired. Three weeks later against Buffalo, Bryan Wright missed a potential game winning field goal as time expired.

Then Saturday an attempt to go for the 2-point conversion and the win didn’t pan out as time expired in a 28-27 loss to Temple.

However, unlike the loss to Buffalo

and Troy, this one hurt a little bit more because of all the effort the Falcons exerted in the loss.

“The other games I felt like it was on a roller coaster. We had some ups and we had some downs. But this game, I felt like we really came out we played from snap to whistle every play, so it hurts a little bit more,” cap-tain Champ Fells said.

While the players felt the sting of the loss after coming so close to victory, BG coach Dave Clawson

— who’s never been one for moral victories — felt he saw his team

By Sean ShapiroSenior Reporter

PHILADELPHIA — Injuries have plagued the Falcons all season. Saturday wasn’t an exception.

On a second down play late in the second quarter, starting full-back and redshirt-junior Zach Akenberger was carted off the field with an injury to his left leg.

Akenberger was put in an aircast while still on the field and gave a thumbs-up when he was carted into the tunnel.

“The list gets longer, but it is what it is … it’s gotta be next man up,” BG coach Dave Clawson said. “You

have those years. Sometimes you just get hit hard.”

In addition to Akenberger, Cameron Truss and Willie Geter were lost to injury. Both Truss and Geter suffered what appeared to be ankle injuries and spent the second half in sweat pants.

Also, both Eugene Cooper and Chris Jones needed help off of the field during the game.

Clawson announced after the game that Blaec Walker, who has been battling injuries the past week, has been lost for the season.

Defensive improvementsWith the exception of two big

plays and one long drive, the BG defense looked better than they have all season.

The two big plays, which both came in the second quarter, and the touchdown drive in the third quar-ter combined for 197 of Temple’s 302 total yards.

“Our defense played the best game of the year … we handed them 21 points, the two big plays and the mishandled snap. That’s really it right there,” Clawson said.

The improvement on the defensive side of the ball was a

Rosales records fifth shutout of season in 1-0 MAC win

The BG men’s soccer team concluded its week of play Saturday night with a match against Hartwick College.

The game was played at Elmore Field in Oneonta, N.Y., with the two teams facing off in a clash between Mid-American Conference foes.

The Falcons were looking to rebound against Hartwick after suf-fering a 5-0 loss to nationally-ranked

top 10 Butler University. Butler remains the only unflawed NCAA Division I soccer team in the nation.

Women’s soccer notches two tiesBy Becky TenerSenior Reporter

The BG women’s soccer team played two full games plus two full sudden death overtimes this weekend and came away with only ties.

BG tied both Akron, 2-2, on Friday and Ohio, 0-0, on Sunday.

“It’s frustrating, but it’s still a good performance,” coach Andy

Richards said. “We have three games left and we need to get some results out of them.”

The Falcons are now 2-3-3 in the MAC with only two more weeks left in the regular season.

Richards said though the team tied its two crucial East Division games, the ties are better than losses.

“At least we keep inching forward, a point here and a point there,” he

said. “It’s another step another; it’s another point.”

Richards said the Falcons’ defense and ability to perse-vere have really shown in con-ference play.

“I think we’re becoming a real-ly hard team to beat,” he said.

Errors doom BG netters in MichiganBy Justin Onslow

The BG volleyball team returned from Michigan empty-handed this weekend after dropping two matches to conference opponents.

The Falcons fell to Central Michigan in three sets on Friday, 25-12, 25-22, 25-21. Although BG kept the second and third sets close, the

team could not overcome hitting just .040 in the first set.

Freshmen Paige Penrod and Danielle Tonyan led the team in kills, but combined for only 11 kills against the Chippewas.

Freshman Lindsey Butterfield put together her first of two good weekend performances in the match. She led the team with a then career-high 10 kills. She recorded 11 kills the following night against

STEADY PACE: A member of the BG men’s cross country team competes in a home meet earlier this season.

BG places seventh in final home meet of season

By Jamar LarkReporter

The men’s cross country team finished the 2010 home por-tion of its season with a sev-enth place finish at the Falcon Invitational this past weekend.

The men finished third over-all out of the seven qualifying Division I teams on Saturday.

Three runners placed in the top 50 overall while a total of seven runners fin-ished in the top 86, which was an improvement from the 2009 meet, when the Falcons’

placed 11th overall and only had three runners finish in the top 75 spots in the meet.

Chris Moody placed 28th in Saturday’s competition, with a time of 25:44.5 in the 8k por-tion of the contest, improv-ing by 13 seconds and eight places from last year’s meet.

Once again, Moody led the team with his top placing in the race.

Jason Salyer (25:47.0), Rob Kelvey (26:11.2) and Greg Black (26:47.2) all achieved personal best times Saturday, finishing 32nd, 40th, and 59th

in the meet, respectively. Senior Jesse Smuda fin-

ished out his home career at BG with a time of 26:50.2, placing 60th overall.

Coach Cami Paulson was pleased with the overall result of the competition and thought it was a great stepping-stone for the Mid-American Conference Championships, which begin in two weeks.

“There was more motiva-tion because this is our final home meet of the season and our final meet prior to the MAC meet,” Paulson said.

Men’s golf concludes fall season in Kentucky

By Brendan PackertReporter

The men’s golf team will travel to Hopkinsville, KY to compete in the F&M Bank APSU Intercollegiate today and Tuesday.

This is the Falcons’ last tournament of the fall season.

Hosted by Austin Peay State University, the Falcons are looking to end their fall season strong after an impressive comeback last week at the Bearcat Invitational — finishing in sixth place.

The tournament will be played at The Links at Novadell, a course the Falcons are not familiar with.

“We were supposed to play there back in 2007, but rain eventually canceled the tournament,” coach Garry Winger said. “None of the guys now have ever played there.”

But regardless of the expe-rience of his players, Winger knows Austin Peay will be tough on its home course.

“Teams always play better

at home, and Austin Peay is always a good team every year,” Winger said. “They are going to be comfortable playing at home; they are going to know the shots they need to take.”

In the three tournaments played this fall with both BG and Austin Peay in the field together, the Falcons have finished with a better team score over the Governors twice.

The team lineup will see its first change of the year with freshman Morgan Dobbins replacing freshman Chris Melvin. The rest of the lineup will stay the same and will feature Drew Preston, Parker Hewit, Wes Gates and Charlie Olsen.

“I really wanted to get Morgan in the lineup. This is our only chance because we don’t compete again this fall,” Winger said.

Dobbins competed in the John Piper Intercollegiate as an individual in the end of September. He finished tied for 17th place.

Winger admitted that there is a sense of excitement to compete in the last tour-

nament of the season.“We would like to build on

the momentum of last week,” Winger said. “It was good that we were able to climb the leader board on the last day, but we need to play more consistently throughout the tournament.

“We still realize what we need to fix in our game. Our short game, including our wedges and putting, needs to improve; those are the shots that really affect the scores.”

Winger also recog-nized that the team is focusing on fixing their individual games.

“Unlike the first round last week, usually the guys will play with other players from other schools, so it’s only their game they need to focus on,” he said.

Women’s golf wraps up season with MAC PreviewBy Kristi Kopaniasz

Reporter

Wrapping up its fall sched-ule, the BG women’s golf team will compete in the Mid-American Conference Preview today and Tuesday in Nashport, Ohio.

The Falcons will look to make a better showing this year.

Last year they finished the conference preview tourna-ment in 14th place.

This tournament will have the most MAC teams BG has faced this season out of all its other tournaments. Eight of the nine MAC teams will compete.

Kent State, who has always been at the top of

the MAC, will not be com-peting. Adding to the eight MAC teams will be non-MAC teams Cleveland State and Xavier.

The Falcons will play one 18-hole round each day at the Longaberger Golf Club. Since this tournament is not a shot-gun start, tee times range from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. each morning.

The Falcons will be playing alongside Ohio University and Northern Illinois. Tee times for the

next day will be determined after the first round results today.

The Falcon-five for the MAC preview are senior co-captains Marisa and Lauren Glew, sophomores Susy Grunden and Amy Ruthenberg, and freshman Kelsey Benson.

The Glew sisters are no strangers to the course as they competed there last spring.

Grunden looks to improve on her 11th place finish last year.

away with a three-set vic-tory, 25-22, 25-11, 25-23. The Eagles committed only nine attack errors in the match, while BG committed 23 throughout the three sets.

BG held the edge in kills (44-38) and digs (73-64), led by Penrod and Butterfield

with 11 kills each, and Dunn with 26 digs.

The Falcons hit .207 and .206 in the first two sets, but followed with a .043 perfor-mance in the third set. The Eagles also hit .043 in the third set, but BG’s 10 attack errors allowed Eastern Michigan to come away with the set.

Freshman Laura Avila paced the Falcons with 31 assists, and Spitler added

three blocks.With the two losses over the

weekend, BG falls to 6-16 (1-7 Mid-American Conference), and will prepare for two more conference contests next weekend at home against Toledo and Ball State.

The Falcons will travel to Cleveland Tuesday for a non-conference match against Cleveland State. The match is slated to begin at 7 p.m.

bit of magic or something around the goal and we’ll win these games, I’m sure,” he said.

But Richards said the big-gest struggle for his team is experience. He said many young players are still learning how to play under the pressure of the MAC.

“It’s a young team and we’re gradually, gradually getting there,” he said.

The only way the young

Falcons will improve, Richards said, is through playing these tough conference games.

“As a coach I always want to play, not practice, because there are so many things to learn in a game,” he said.

Richards said the team is feeling the pressure of the MAC play, and he believes the conference is hard to play in because any team can beat any team on a cer-tain day.

“There are a lot of great teams that are about the same quality, so all it takes

Falcons had the same issues that plagued them against Michigan as they fell behind 2-0 in the first period.

On special teams, the Falcons power play strug-gled, going 0-4 on the night, but they were able to hold Clarkson scoreless on five power play chances.

Nick Eno started the series opener for the second straight weekend, stopping 27-31 shots.

The Falcons also put up 31 shots, but Bergeron was not happy with the quality of them.

“The shots are misleading,” he said. “We got some pucks to the net, but not enough grade-A chances.”

However, Saturday night was a different story as BG jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a late first period goal by Marc

Rodriguez and never looked back.

Andrew Hammond was stellar in net, stopping all 31 shots he faced.

“He was very solid,” Bergeron said. “Even though the shots were one-sided, I thought it was a more evenly-played game. [Hammond] was in control of his game.”

The win was particularly special to Hammond, as it was the first of his BG career. He went 0-12-2 as a freshman last season.

It was also the first shutout of his BG career.

James McIntosh made it 2-0 on an unassisted goal 22 seconds into the third period.

For the second straight night it was a mixed bag on special teams for the Falcons. They went 0-3 on the power play, producing only one shot.

However, they were 4-4 on the penalty kill, successfully killing all nine penalties in

the series.With just over a minute and

a half to go in the game, David Solway iced the game with an empty net goal.

Despite a fairly successful weekend, the Falcons did not come out unscathed health-wise.

Brett Mohler did not dress for Saturday’s game due to a shoulder injury, and Bryce Williamson left the game in the first period after a hard hit. He did not return to the game.

BG returns to home ice this weekend for a non-conference series against Alabama-Huntsville. It will be their last non-con-ference weekend series of the season.

game holding a 4-5-2 (1-2-0 MAC) record. The match was heavily defense oriented throughout. The game was deadlocked 0-0 until the 55th minute, when the Falcons were able to net home a goal which ultimately ended up being the decisive edge in a 1-0 win for BG.

The goal came off a corner set piece, and senior Dusko Topolic was able to get his head on the ball and send it past the Hawk goalkeeper with power and pace.

“It was a great cross by Jacob [Eganhouse],” Topolic said.

“Hartwick was zoning, so I

was in between two defend-ers. I saw the ball coming to me, jumped and the goalie got a piece of it, but it went into the net. Again, it was a great ball from Jacob.”

Set pieces, more specifi-cally the service from these key opportunities, has been a struggle for the Falcons so far this season.

With the win the Falcons pull to .500 on the season. The Falcons move to third place in the seven-team league. Only Akron and Western Michigan are higher than BG.

Hartwick held the advan-tage in total shots, 15-7, and shots on goal, 7-2. But attempts don’t mean any-thing if there isn’t quality behind them.

BG goalkeeper Miguel Rosales was able to record his fifth clean sheet of the year, keeping all seven shot on goals of the Hawks out of the net.

Rosales is the first BG goal-keeper to record five shut-outs since David DeGraff was able to accomplish that feat in 2003.

With the win the Falcons now lead the all-time series 2-1-2. The series is 1-1-2 since Hartwick joined the MAC.

BG will play one match this week when it takes on nation-ally-ranked Michigan State University Wednesday.

The match is the last home regular-season game of the season for the Falcons. The match is set to begin at 3 p.m. at Cochrane Field.

testament to practice this past week, according to captain Champ Fells, which included playing hard and enjoying the game again.

Not the Wright choiceOnce again special teams

struggled as a botched exchange on a punt led to Temple’s third touchdown when it was recovered in the end zone.

Bryan Wright attempted to knock the ball out of the back of the end zone for a safety, but instead recovered the ball and fumbled it into the end zone where it was recovered.

“We’ve worked on that in

practice. He has to kick it out of the back of the end zone

… the way we coach he has to kick it out. We take the safety and live another day,” Clawson said.

In addition to the botched punt play, Wright missed an extra point for the second time this season and he missed a 43-yard field goal wide left as the first half expired.

Defensive touchdownsFor the fourth time this

season the BG defense took an interception back for a touchdown.

Jovan Leacock’s first quar-ter, 49-yard return for a touch-down set the school record for the amount of defensive touchdowns in an individual season.

On a third quarter extra point, tight end Alex Bayer served as holder; through-out the season the holder has been converted back-up quarterback to wide receiver Bart Tanski.

Busy weekendThe parking lot after BG’s

loss was filled to capacity Saturday.

Sharing the same complex with both the Philadelphia Flyers and Phillies, the park-ing lots outside the Lincoln Financial Field were filled with tailgaters for both the hockey game and the first game of MLB’s National League Championship series.

grow up in the loss. “We had some guys grow

up today. Our defense grew up, our offensive line grew up. I think Matt Schilz did a great job bringing his team back from down 14 points,” Clawson said.

One player who grew up in the loss was offensive-turned-defensive lineman Jordan Roussos. Roussos, who start-ed the year at defensive end switched to offensive line to help the team, made his

first career start. Despite not knowing the offense well, he still went hard on every play.

According to Clawson, Rousso’s may not know “half of our offense” but no matter the play, even if he wasn’t blocking for his assignment, he was giv-ing exceptional effort.

Another young player who took up a bigger role Saturday was redshirt-freshman tight end Alex Bayer. A little used player coming into the Temple game, Bayer had a career high 5 catches for 77 yards.

“That wasn’t really in the plans, but he got open and we

threw him the ball,” Schilz said.

Schilz benefitted from his newfound target, complet-ing 30-of-51 passes for 287 yards and the last second touchdown pass to Calvin Wiley.
