The University’s plan to restructure undergraduate education will yet again be a topic of discussion at an Undergraduate Council meeting.

Connecting the Undergraduate Education, or CUE, is the University’s proposed revision to the general edu-cation curriculum. CUE will be dis-cussed and potentially voted upon at Wednesday’s meeting at 1:30 p.m. in Union 308.

Periodic voting by the Undergraduate Council is part of a 5-year implementation schedule detailed on the CUE website.

At the Nov. 17 meeting, the

Undergraduate Council made a motion to end discussion about CUE and table it for a future meet-ing, said Tim Messer-Kruse, chair of Undergraduate Council.

“At the last meeting, we discussed for well over an hour about an array of issues and concerns, so it’s hard to separate what was the most impor-tant one,” he said. “The council is looking at it from all perspectives and angles, though, and sometimes likes to request more information on vari-ous points until it’s satisfied.”

Wednesday, the council will consider “un-tabling” the CUE proposal to open it for more dis-cussion and “most likely a vote,” Messer-Kruse said.

“It’s been a healthy, constructive process, and I’m proud of my col-leagues for the careful consideration they’re giving this,” he said. “They’re focusing on the issues, which is a helpful part of the process. That’s why the academic charter has vari-ous steps, to ensure we give attention to all of the important details.”

As long as students park inside the lines, they will not have to read between the lines of parking regula-tions to avoid a ticket.

This year, University Parking Services eliminated some of its rules, including one that prevent-ed people from pulling through a parking space.

Parking services is trying to move away from rules people may have been ticketed for violating in the past, said Aaron Kane, University parking and shuttle manager.

“We are really trying to get away from the subjective,” Kane said. “As long as you are between the lines, you won’t be ticketed.”

While pulling through a parking spot is no longer a violation, stu-dents will still be ticketed for park-ing in the grass, on a sidewalk or in a fire lane.

Along with regulation changes, parking services plans to install two new electronic meters to replace all of the meters in Lot N located next to the Wolfe Center. Instead of having a meter at each spot, the two electronic meters will allow people to submit cash or swipe a credit card in exchange for a temporary pass to display in their windshield.

Originally Kane considered using the new meters to notify parking services when someone’s allotted time passed, but decided against it.

“We would have had to number all of the spots in the lot,” Kane said.

“With the snow, it just would have been too difficult.”

Although parking services will not rely on electronics to enforce park-ing regulations, it will be changing its method of enforcement starting Jan. 1, 2011.

Instead of charging a ticket to a student’s bursar account, parking services will start directly contact-ing and billing the student. If the student still refuses to pay the ticket, then parking services will contact the Ohio Attorney General to collect the payment.

Parking services is making this change in order to take the burden of collecting away from the Office of the Bursar and to also better col-lect payment from people who have unregistered cars parked on cam-pus, Kane said.

“It will just make it easier if we go directly to the owner,” Kane said. “It was definitely more difficult the way it was handled before.”

While parking services is not open 24 hours a day, campus police take over for Kane and others at parking services after dark. Campus police also have the power to ticket drivers for violating parking regulations.

“There are exceptions, but usu-ally we do the after-hours stuff, after parking services has closed for the day,” said David Weekley, campus police chief. “We usually just enforce reserved spaces, fire lane violations, and we might do some lot closures.”

To appeal tickets, students can go through the appeals section on the parking services website.

Once a student applies for an appeal, it goes through parking services and the procedures and appeals board of the Undergraduate Student Government.

Justin Albright, the chief admin-istrator for USG, makes the final decision on parking appeals.

“The biggest factor is probably the way it is written,” Albright said.

“Ultimately, it just depends on the rules. Maybe the place wasn’t well marked or well lit or something like that.”

University accommodates growing vegetarian population on campus

The vegetarian popula-tion in the United States is growing.

A record-number 7.3 mil-lion people are now follow-ing a vegetarian-based diet, according to a study con-

ducted by the Vegetarian Times magazine, and University students, facul-ty and dining services are making room for the steadi-ly growing vegetarian and vegan demographic.

“I think that [the rise of vegetarianism] goes hand-in-hand with the rise of

the obesity epidemic,” said Daria Blachowski-Dreyer, assistant director of opera-tions and wellness for University Dining Services.

CUE is its time line for imple-mentation, said Undergraduate Student Government President Kevin Basch, undergraduate student representative for the implementation committee.

Students entering the University in fall 2011 will be the first to experience the new courses, according to the implementation schedule.

“From what I’ve heard, nobody has been disagreeing with the spirit of the curricu-lum,” Basch said. “But many faculty members are saying to drastically overhaul the way we teach general education courses, they need more time.”

Outside of Undergraduate Council meetings, faculty committee leaders have also expressed concerns about CUE.

Kris Blair, Faculty Senate chair, said the Senate provides an outlet for faculty members

to state their opinions, and several have expressed con-cerns about CUE’s time line.

“The Senate represents a range of faculty perspec-tives,” she said. “There may be some faculty in favor of CUE and others who may be concerned with the tim-ing. Either way, we try to fos-ter dialogue to ensure that appropriate charter review processes for curricular pro-cesses like CUE are followed.”

This is an exchange David Jackson, Faculty Association president, said he hopes will continue throughout the implementation process.

Jackson said the FA doesn’t have a position on the qual-ity of the proposed program or its changes, but he hopes faculty members will have a voice. The newly-formed fac-ulty union, as well commit-tees such as Undergraduate Council, Faculty Senate and Committee on Academic Affairs, should play central role during implementation,

he said.“We’re interested in making

sure those committees have their proper role in determin-ing such a significant curricu-lum change at BGSU,” Jackson said. “[The FA] is also very interested in the effect that the full implementation of CUE would have on workload.”

Neal Jesse, Implementation Committee chair, said the committee is eager to address the Undergraduate Council’s concerns and would be “happy to implement whatever good ideas come along.”

The top concerns Jesse said he has heard are ensuring the quality of the program, allo-cating resources and applying a reasonable time line.

“No matter what happens Wednesday, I wouldn’t say it’s the end of CUE,” he said.

“We’re going to still talk about revising it and keep moving forward, to try to find a way to put into place a revised and good general education program.”

native might be.”Blachowski-Dreyer also

works with the University’s vegetarian/vegan club to advocate options and vari-ety in on-campus dining.

“We try to work in all of our units where if you walk up to a station, there is always a vegetarian option,” she said. “We have garden burg-ers on request. If we have two soups, one of them is always vegan or vegetarian. We offer plant proteins on our salad bars so that people have options.”

The desire to accommo-date vegetarians extends off campus. Squeakers’s vegan cafe and health food store is located downtown.

“We offer a wide selection of vegan lunches and din-ners,” said Heather Andre, the owner of Squeaker’s. “I try to offer a wide variety of foods for vegans, vegetarians and people who just want to eat healthier. People are starting to realize that it’s a much healthier lifestyle.”

Andre offers vegan specialties, from chili to pumpkin pie.

“I try to keep my prices down so people can afford it,” Andre said. “Everybody can afford to come here, even if you’re on a limited budget … my whole goal behind this is to save ani-mals. This is more than just a business; it’s a cause.”

Along with the health trend, 54 percent of veg-

etarians follow a vegetar-ian diet based on animal welfare, according to the Vegetarian Times.

“[Being vegetarian] is help-ing me ethically and morally,” said sophomore Sam Kirsch, the president and founder of Saving Animals from Violence and Exploitation.

“I’m doing what I believe is right, and I’m not eating ani-mals because I care about animals, and I’m fighting for animals. Everything has always been about animals for me.”

SAVE recently raised more than $200 for “Adopt a Horse” and sponsored “Adopt a Turkey” in the student Union before Thanksgiving with free samples of Tofurky, a tofu-based “lunchmeat” product.

“I think there is more of a trend toward limiting our meat intake,” she said.

“Even if people don’t give it up entirely, it’s definitely a good thing because every little bit counts. Every little bit of animal we don’t eat, that’s an animal that gets to live. And that’s a good push, a good thing to fight for.”

Considering meat-eaters and those who are open to trying new food, or

“flexitarians,” Blachowski-Dreyer stresses the impor-tance of quality, propor-tion control, improved preparation and hiding the “healthiness factor” beneath exceptional taste.

“Sometimes people are afraid when you just hand something to them and say, ‘this is vegetarian; it’s good

for you,’” she said. “Sadly vegetables have a bad con-notation. Just tell them, ‘here’s a chili.’ Did I tell you if it’s a beef chili, a turkey chili, a vegetarian chili? It’s more of a textual thing, and if you’re using the proper seasoning and they can’t tell, I’m all for it.”

While some think vegetar-ian interests are represented in the dining halls, others wish for more variety.

“If we’re fighting for aware-ness on this issue, this veg-etarian cause, how can we fight for something when we don’t even have anything to back ourselves up with?” Kirsch said. “People say, ‘well I have meal plan money, so I’m going to buy meat.’ If there were more vegetarian options on campus, more people would be persuaded not to eat meat as much.”

For dining services, it is not always easy to incor-porate a mainly vegetarian-based menu.

“Sadly, cheese is a universal binder, so we struggle with our vegetarian options for people who don’t want that much cheese,” Blachowski-Dreyer said. “From a pro-duction standpoint, it’s a difficult thing.”

Dining services holds veg-etarian demos, including Monday’s second-annual vegan exposition in the Falcon’s Nest.

“We try to bring aware-ness,” Blachowski-Dreyer said. “Some people have not been exposed to it. We get students to see this isn’t what they think it is.”

FACULTY COLUMNIST

Earlier this month, the truth finally emerged about eth-anol during a speech to a group of financiers in Greece. Al Gore finally admitted what sensible people had suspected all along.

According to Reuters, the ex-vice president said, “It is not a good policy to have these massive subsidies for (U.S.) first generation etha-nol. First generation ethanol, I think, was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small. It’s hard once such a program is put in place to deal with the lob-bies that keep it going.”

The reasons for Gore’s initial support of a program are revealing. “One of the

reasons I made that mis-take is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president.”

Well, that’s yet another inconvenient truth.

On yet another front in the battle against the dreaded carbon footprint, the new and recent ballyhooed elec-tric vehicles coming to the market sport a tax credit which effectively reduces their purchase price by as much as $7,500.

But the question no one seems to be asking is: If etha-nol, or electric cars, or what-ever, are so beneficial, why do they need a subsidy? Can’t they stand on their own mer-its and be evaluated in com-parison with alternatives?

All these programs are part of the great social engi-

neering project that has become part and parcel of our tax code. All these pro-grams were conceived in response to the alleged will of the people (as interpreted by our elected officials, aided by various and sundry lob-byists). And, all these pro-grams were conceived with the best of intentions. The medieval proverb seems as pertinent today as ever: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

And — this is important — every one of these pro-grams is being paid for by the American taxpayer, regardless of whether you are a corn farmer or you buy an electric vehicle.

But we’re finally beginning to see the shortcomings in this thinking. There simply isn’t enough money to pay for all the things we’d like to see done. But, thanks in no small part to the experiment

in Progressivism that began a century ago, many have become conditioned to view government (at all levels) as the solution to our problems.

We’ve even elected presi-dents who have promised to take us further down this road.

But, here’s a news flash that the public is becoming more aware of as time goes on: The government, at least at the federal level, is largely ill-equipped to handle these kinds of problems. Nor was it ever designed to do so.

A careful reading of the Constitution reveals that the federal government is empowered to perform cer-tain actions, e.g. regulate commerce between the states, coin and print money, conduct foreign policy, etc.

The framers had a tough time convincing the states to ratify it, so they included a Bill of Rights. So, the Constitution

gives certain specified pow-ers, the people were pro-tected from an overreaching government, and the powers not delegated to the federal government were reserved to the states or to the people (the Tenth Amendment).

So, with all that, how did we get into our present situation?

Part of the answer lies in well-intentioned but mis-guided thinking. It’s a feel-good delusion that implies that all problems can be solved with the aid of a well-meaning government with lots of (borrowed) money to hurl at a problem.

More importantly, with ref-erence to the examples of tax credits mentioned earlier, the power of the market, espe-cially the laws of supply and demand, have been ignored. But, we ignore them at our peril. Because, at its heart, a free market is the end result

of humans exercising the God-given gift of free will. The market, although not perfect, is far superior to any top-down mandate.

For government — at any level — to pretend that it has the answers to these problems, when they cannot even balance a budget, is the height of arrogance. What they’re telling us is that we the people don’t have the intelligence and good sense to make decisions as to what kind of car to buy or what kind of light bulbs to use in our house without the benefit of the governing group.

The American people deserve a lot more credit than the hired governmental help is giving them credit for.

What do you think?

Green ideas stem from misguided political ploys

By Travis Gumphrey, The Daily Cougar (The University

of Houston)College News Network

After the recent controver-sial events involving allega-tions against Auburn quar-terback Cam Newton, the constant pressure on col-lege athletes to do well is extremely evident.

Newton was first accused of leaving Florida, pre-expul-sion, for cheating on tests rather than leaving in order to avoid remaining a back-up behind Tim Tebow. This allegation turned out to be a dead end, but it did lead to a new report surfacing.

This time, Newton and his father, Cecil, are being accused of asking for pay-ment in return for Cam’s will-ingness to attend Mississippi State to play quarterback. The current NCAA probe that is investigating the issue should hopefully uncover some valuable facts in order

to vindicate the current Heisman front runner and potential BCS champion.

Mark Emmert, the NCAA president, thinks that inves-tigations like these should be done as quickly as possible, but only as long as the NCAA gets its facts straight. Emmert went on to say, “You’re dealing with young people’s careers and education. You’re deal-ing with institutional reputa-tions. You’re dealing with a process, that is, by its very nature, complicated.”

This is very true. These athletes face a monstrous amount of pressure during the course of their college careers. The never-end-ing necessity to do well in school and sports to main-tain scholarships and such, forces athletes to sometimes make poor decisions, like in the case of Newton.

Additionally, Emmert compared the opportunities available for a college student

who wants to be an accoun-tant, such as internships, to the opportunities available to a student who wants to be a professional athlete. Athletes aren’t allowed to talk to any-one in their desired profes-sion because it allows them the opportunity to make improper contact with agents, which usually involves the exchange of money. To allow a professional opportunity for one student while ignor-ing the potential opportuni-ties for another doesn’t make a lot of sense at all.

Additionally, athletes face the added pressure of being in the public eye compared to the average student on campus.

Student athletes are always going to be under constant scrutiny and pres-sure because of what they do. Their actions will always be analyzed more than others. But that shouldn’t disqualify them to aspire to eventu-

Student athletes face too much pressure, scrutiny

Athletes should be allowed to seek prospects during college years

At last, we have a giant falconWhen I enrolled as a grad-uate student here in Fall 2009, I must admit I wasn’t sure about the University. Sure, it was a quiet, secluded campus in an idyllic Midwestern town, perfect for getting work done; sure, it offered a full scholarship — but it was missing something. And that thing was the world’s largest falcon statue.

Before [the] falcon instal-lation, I never felt quite comfortable walking on campus, or even living in

the vicinity of the univer-sity, without the assurance that there was a looming bronze falcon nearby with a look of malevolence in its yellow eyes, forever poised to tear off the scalps of pass-ers-by with its outstretched talons. In fact, I question the reputation and academ-ic integrity of any university that does not possess a giant bronze falcon. To Harvard: Pooh on your falcon-less, 400-year-old campus. To the Sorbonne: avez-vous un faucon?

As the University pro-ceeds with the shuffling of our decimated state fund-

ing and eventual pruning of programs, particularly graduate programs, my wish is that the money saved by such measures be put towards making our falcon statue even taller, to draw attention away from Michigan and OSU. Wouldn’t Freddie look dashing in a pair of plat-form shoes? Rumors of a tall, pointy hat have been floating about: Another excellent suggestion.

Princeton students vote on alternate hummus brands

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — Princeton University students voted Monday in a referendum by a pro-Palestine student group on whether to expand the school’s hummus offerings.

The student group Princeton Committee for Palestine wants university-run stores to offer alternative brands of the Middle Eastern chickpea dip because they said the only brand available is linked to human rights violations.

The brand, Sabra, is owned by PepsiCo and Strauss Group, and Strauss’ website said it supports members of the Israeli military.

The group has been pushing for the university to boycott and get rid of its investments in companies that make donations to parts of the Israeli military that it said violated human rights.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A federal judge has granted a request to prevent the state of Oklahoma from certifying election results for a constitutional amendment that would bar state courts from considering international or Islamic law when deciding cases.

U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange said Monday she granted the preliminary injunction against State Question 755 until she rules on the merits of a challenge to the law. The law was approved by 70 percent of Oklahoma voters in a Nov. 2 referendum.

Muneer Awad with the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma sued to block the law from taking effect. He argues the ban on Islamic law, also known as Sharia Law, likely would affect every aspect of his life as well as the execution of his will after his death.

Gay rights group donates legal documents to Yale

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Boston-based group is donating 30 years’ worth of documents to Yale University that chart the legal campaign for gay rights in New England.

Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders has pursued gay civil rights throughout the region since the group was founded in 1978. Its precedent-setting legal victories include bringing marriage equality to Massachusetts in 2004 and Connecticut in 2008.

The group said Monday the donated materials include correspondence, legal documents and photographs from events spanning the HIV epidemic to the legalization of gay marriage in some states.

Sterling Memorial Library Director of Manuscripts and Archives Christine Weideman said the university is grateful to be entrusted with preserving records from a vital part of history.

Dems appointed 2 of 3 judges in Prop 8 case

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A liberal jurist is among three judges randomly selected by a federal appeals court to decide if a lower court improperly struck down California’s same-sex marriage ban.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals announced Monday that Judges Michael Hawkins, Stephen Reinhardt and N. Randy Smith were randomly assigned to the case over the constitutionality of the voter-approved ban, known as Proposition 8.

Reinhardt is regarded as one of the 9th Circuit’s most liberal jurists. He, along with Hawkins, were appointed by Democrat presidents. Smith was appointed by a Republican.

Observers predicted the panel’s makeup makes it less likely the court ruling would be reversed.

Proposition 8’s supporters agree, saying that they “fully expect” that the case would have to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ohioan raped woman put, her in closet for 10 days

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Police said a southwest Ohio man held a bound woman in a closet for 10 days and raped her 18 times before she freed herself.

Hamilton police said 44-year-old William Hobert Manis was jailed Friday on 18 counts of rape and one count of kidnapping.

Police told the Hamilton JournalNews that the woman said she was at Manis’ house when he struck her repeatedly, then tied her up and put her in a closet. Police say she freed herself Friday and jumped out a second-story window before going to a neighbor’s house for help.

No other information about her was released.

Manis was being held Monday in Butler County Jail. No attorney was listed for him.

Outgoing Fla. Gov. Crist worries about divisions

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Outgoing Florida Gov. Charlie Crist says he is concerned that political divisions are preventing elected officials of both parties from working together on the nation’s problems.

Crist said the country is divided and that he worries about politicians being able to find “consensus and common ground” to help move the country forward.

He said he has no regrets about running for the U.S. Senate instead of seeking re-election as governor, or of leaving the Republican party earlier this year. Crist lost a three-way race to conservative Republican Marco Rubio.

Crist said he plans to keep his voter registration as independent. He said he is weighing several offers to work in the private sector and has no immediate plans to return to politics after stepping down January 4th.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration moved force-fully Monday to contain dam-age from the release of more than a quarter-million classi-fied diplomatic files, brand-ing the action as an attack on the United States and raising the prospect of legal action against online whistle-blower WikiLeaks.Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that WikiLeaks acted illegally in posting the material. She said the Obama administration was taking “aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information.”

White House spokes-man Robert Gibbs said the U.S. would not rule out tak-ing action against WikiLeaks. Attorney General Eric Holder said the administration would prosecute if violations of federal law are found in an ongoing criminal investiga-tion of the incident.

Gibbs said President Barack Obama was briefed on the impending massive leak last week and was “not pleased” about the breach of classified documents. “This

is a serious violation of the law,” Gibbs said. “This is a serious threat to individuals that both carry out and assist in our foreign policy.”

The White House on Monday ordered a govern-ment-wide review of how agencies safeguard sensitive information. Clinton said steps were already being taken to tighten oversight of diplomatic files. That action would follow a similar move by the Pentagon after leaks of military files.

The U.S. documents con-tained raw comments normally muffled by diplomatic politesse: Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah pressing the U.S. to “cut off the head of the snake” by taking action against Iran’s nuclear program. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi described as

“feckless” and “vain.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel dis-missed as “risk averse and rarely creative.”

The release of those docu-ments and others contain-ing unflattering assessments of world leaders was a clear embarrassment to the adminis-tration. The director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, Jacob Lew, said

in ordering the agency-wide assessment Monday that the disclosures are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

“This disclosure is not just an attack on America’s foreign policy interests,” Clinton said in her first comments since the weekend leaks. “It is an attack on the international commu-nity: the alliances and partner-ships, the conversations and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity.”

“It puts people’s lives in danger, threatens our national security and undermines our efforts to work with other countries,” she said to reporters at the State Department.

Mohamud was arrested

after he and an agent drove into downtown Portland in a white van that carried six 55-gallon drums with detonation cords and plastic caps, but all of them were inert. Authorities said they allowed the plot to proceed to obtain evidence to charge the suspect.

“If you talk with someone enough, they’ll be convinced they need to do something. That what’s I think the FBI might have done with him,” said El-Naser.

He added that he never heard his friend express any extremist views.

BG wins Seattle Tournament, Prochaska named MVPBy Paul Barney

Sports Editor

There was no tryptophan hang-over for the BG women’s basket-ball team this Thanksgiving.

After cruising to a win against Detroit on Wednesday, the Falcons made their holi-day trip out west to Seattle a memorable one by winning both their games of the Seattle University Tournament.

BG won its opener Friday, 56-47, against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and then claimed the championship Saturday by defeating Seattle 71-51.

“We’re excited about the championship,” said BG coach Curt Miller. “It was a tough three games in four days stretch for us.”

Senior Lauren Prochaska was named the tournament’s MVP while Tracy Pontius and Chrissy Steffen joined her on the all-tournament team.

Prochaska posted a double-double Friday with 23 points and 10 rebounds and was a perfect 15-for-15 from the free-throw line, breaking her own single game school record.

She followed that up with nine points and five rebounds Saturday on her way to being named MVP.

“It’s a good honor,” Prochaska said. “A lot of credit to my team-mates for their supporting cast and helping me out. It was just a fun tournament for us.”

Pontius had 18 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals against UALR and Steffen had a combined 24 points and nine steals in both games.

The Falcons are now 6-1 on the season, having won six straight.

And just in time.

Wednesday, BG will play its toughest opponent of the season thus far when it hosts nationally ranked Vanderbilt.

The No. 24 ranked Commodores are 4-1 this season and are com-ing off a holiday tournament championship as well, defeat-ing Quinnipiac and Princeton to win the 12th Annual Vanderbilt Thanksgiving Tournament.

Last season, the Falcons won at Vanderbilt, then No. 16, 66-60.

Pontius finished with a game-high 19 points to place three Falcons in double-figures.

Falcon icers earn weekend split, 800th program win

By Ryan SatkowiakAssistant Sports Editor

It was just what the doctor ordered.Having lost six of their last

eight Central Collegiate Hockey Association games, the Falcons played Alabama-Huntsville for the third time this season Friday night in the RPI Holiday Tournament in Troy, N.Y.

For the third time in as many games, the Falcons (6-10, 2-8 CCHA) beat the Chargers, this time by a 5-1 score. It was the

800th win in program history.“What I feel is very humble for

the coaches and the guys who have done it before me, they had 99 per-cent of those wins; it’s a salute to them and it talks about the history this program has,” said BG coach Chris Bergeron regarding leading the program to its 800th win. “It’s pretty special to be a part of 800, but like I said, that didn’t have a whole lot to do with us; that was the people before us and hopefully we can have that same kind of success going forward.”

The win got the Falcons into the championship round against host team RPI, where they lost a 3-2 con-test in overtime.

Even though no CCHA points were at stake, the weekend was big for the Falcons to get them back on track after a rough weekend against Miami.

“All-in-all, I’m very pleased,” Bergeron said. “I thought our effort was very good, but I thought we

SENIOR REPORTER

We never thought it would end this way.

Sure we knew our beloved Falcons weren’t going to be near-ly as successful as the 2009 team, but the slow painful death to the 2010 season was a cruel and unusual punishment.

At 2-10 — it was the first time the program ever suffered a 10-loss season — youth, injuries and a porous defense already had fans shoveling dirt onto the Falcons grave before November.

The Falcons started the sea-son the same way 2009 ended, in heartbreak.

Notes: Men’s basketball struggling to make shots

By Sean ShapiroSenior Reporter

It’s nothing new; the Falcons have a hard time shooting the basketball.

At 1-6, with its only win coming over Division II Ohio Dominican, the BG men’s basketball team has shot an abysmal .369 from the field, which is ranked 327 out of 347 teams in Division I.

This past weekend at the Legends Classic in Detroit, the Falcons post-ed a sub-45 shooting percentage in all three games, all losses.

“If I know one thing, nobody’s trying to miss shots,” BG coach Lois Orr said.

Finally finding a rhythm and consistently putting the ball through the basket is an issue that Orr said needs to be solved in the gym.

“At times we’ve gotten some guys who shot well before in practice, some guys make shots

in practice that aren’t going in games,” Orr said.

Shuffling the starters Through seven games this season, the Falcons have used six different starting lineup combinations.

Scott Thomas and Cameron Black are the only players who have started every game, and only five players on the 14-man roster have yet to start a game this season.

In BG’s most recent game, a 56-55 loss to Albany on Sunday, the Falcons went with a starting lineup of Thomas, Black, Danny McElroy, Dee Brown and Joe Jakubowski.

Shuffling the starters isn’t something Orr likes to do — ear-lier this season he stated he likes to have a set lineup — however, the constant change is proof the Falcons need more than just the

28 seconds — the 2009 Falcons gave us a taste of the bitter feast to come.

Opening the 2010 season, the Falcons fell on a last second field goal to Troy. It wouldn’t be the first time they’d lose a battle in the closing seconds.

Troy, Buffalo, Temple and Miami were all losses by 3-points or less that were determined on the final play of the game.

It was a team that lived dangerously, playing a risk-vs.-reward game that very rarely ended in the Falcons favor.

At times the risk taking paid off, as the Falcon defense had 35 takeaways, but that same defense was also gashed for 432 yards a game.

The offense wasn’t much better, as a shoulder injury to quarterback Matt Schilz set back both his and the team’s progress, something they never recov-ered from as it was revealed at the end of the season the young quarterback was never truly “100 percent.”

Inability to overcome the shoulder injury, Schilz turned from a confident,

got a little too cute there in the third period offensively instead of trying to be stron-ger on our game plan.”

“We haven’t played with a lead too much this season so we need to get better at doing that.”

In his first weekend after being scratched last Saturday against Miami, Jordan Samuels-Thomas played strong hockey, posting two goals and an assist on the weekend, and was named to the all-tournament team.

Red-hot freshman Brett Mohler also had a big week-end, posting two assists in each game to bring his season point total to 10 (five goals, five assists).

On Friday night, the Falcons scored the only goal of the period late, when Samuels-Thomas scored his fourth of the season.

After second period goals by Cam Wojtala and UAH’s Justin Cseter, BG broke the game wide open with goals from Chad Sumsion and Wade Finegan to take a 4-1 lead into the second intermission.

In the third, Jake Sloat scored his first collegiate goal on a shot from the point that beat Chargers’ goal C.J. Groh.

“It was finally good to play a whole 60 minutes, that’s obviously something that we’ve been work-ing on,” said BG captain David Solway. “A lot of guys stepped up for us tonight.”

Nick Eno was not particu-larly busy on the night, but he

played well in the win, stop-ping 19 of 20 shots.

While there was not as much offense in Saturday’s game against RPI, the end-ing of the game was down to the wire.

After a scoreless first peri-od, RPI took a 2-0 lead early in the second on goals by Tyler Helfrich and former BG defenseman Nick Bailen. The goals came just 1:21 apart.

Late in the second period, Samuels-Thomas cut the lead in half with his fifth goal of the season.

After staying scoreless for nearly the whole period, Solway gave the Falcons life in the form of a tying goal with just 10 seconds left in regulation.

However, that ecstasy was short lived, as RPI’s Bryan Brutlag scored the game-win-

ning goal just 20 seconds into the extra frame.

Like the night before, the man between the pipes for BG was not very busy, as Andrew Hammond only faced 19 shots, stopping 16 of them.

Unlike much of the sea-son, the Falcons accumulat-ed more shots and won the special teams battle in both games. They outshot UAH 26-19 on Friday and RPI 27-20 on Saturday.

In the two games, the Falcons went 3-10 on the power play, while they were 6-6 on the penalty kill.

“We’ve been talking about [special teams] from the beginning, and I think what happened is guys made plays,” Bergeron said. “It’s chipping away, it’s bits and pieces, but it’s something that we need to get better at.”

starting five to succeed.“I’ve been a guy in history [in

which] I don’t change lineups that often ... my thing is it’s not a comfortable spot, our record says we’re not consistent at 1-6, we’ve been inconsistent, we’re looking for the right combi-nations, the right leadership,” Orr said. “If you change your lineup that many times ... you need everybody to win.”

Oglesby Freshman Torian Oglesby saw his first career action in BG’s 65-61 loss to Niagara, scoring 10 points and grabbing five rebounds in 27 minutes off of the bench.

“He’s going through an adjustment right now, being on campus since the first day of classes he’s adjusting to life on campus and on the court,” Orr said.

Oglesby, who Orr also called a “tremendous ath-lete” had 20 points and 19 rebounds in all three losses this past weekend.

Up nextThe Falcons will head to East Lansing, Mich. for a match-up with No. 6-ranked Michigan State; tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. at the Breslin Center.

Formerly No. 2 in the rankings before a loss to Connecticut, the Spartans will play No. 1 Duke Wednesday night in a nationally televised game on ESPN.

smart quarterback early in the season to a gun-shy, risk-taker, who was more often than not, driven to the turf by opposing defenders.

They certainly took their lumps and after eight games, they were already ineligible for a bowl game, a status they hadn’t carried since the 2006 season.

Like every doomed season, there were some happy moments; moments fans could savor for a short while before they were shocked back to reality by another loss.

The home opener against Marshall was promising, a 44-28 victory, and the win at Central Michigan gave us hope that the defense had turned it around.

But, in the three games fol-lowing the Marshall win, the

Falcons lost by a combined 70 points.

After Central Michigan, the next three games yielded a 56-point combined margin of defeat.

There were times this team had us on our feet, hearts rac-ing and excited to watch foot-ball — even if those games ended in a loss — but then there was also the straight schellackings, games where the only reason to stay till halftime was the Falcon Marching Band.

The finale, a 41-7 loss to Western Michigan, was a fit-ting end.

The players gave effort, that can’t be questioned, but like any doomed season, it didn’t matter.

It’s time to move on. Don’t think of the 2010 football team as a failure, but rather as the darkness before the day ... and heck we all have women’s basketball to look forward to.

Bogus 911 caller blames smokesCLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Tennessee say a man accused of making three bogus calls to 911 told them he was bored and anxious because he had not smoked a cigarette in two days.

Twenty-year-old Alex Lee

Baker of Clarksville was charged with making the calls Sunday during a 35-minute stretch.

The first caller claimed to be a witness to a murder. The second claimed he had been stabbed, while the third said

a woman had been killed and buried.

Police said Monday that all the calls originated from a phone owned by Baker, who remained jailed on $15,000 bond. A spokesman said Baker had not retained a lawyer.

CALLAWAY, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say an irate 84-year-old man hit a deputy in the stomach with his cane when the officer warned him to leave a clinic where he had been cursing at an office manager.

The News Herald newspa-

per reports that the northwest Florida man was arrested and charged with disorderly con-duct and resisting an officer.

Bay County sheriff’s deputies were called to Callaway Clinic on Wednesday night because the man was yelling and curs-ing at an office manager.

According to a police report, the office manager asked authorities to remove the man from the clinic. When the deputy warned the man he would be arrested if he didn’t leave, the man allegedly hit the officer in the stomach with his cane.
