For junior Elijah Waeterling, quit-ting smoking is more complicated than just putting away the pack.

Waeterling, who has tried to quit smoking three times, is concerned not only about quit-ting, but also with the possibility of gaining weight when he does.

“Last time I quit, I gained like six pounds, so that’s definitely another

reason why it makes it hard to quit,” he said. “The fear of getting fat makes me not so excited to quit.”

Most smokers gain between six and 13 pounds within six months of quitting, according to the American Medical Association.

Faith Yingling, director of Wellness, said some smokers might gain weight from eating more after quitting.

The fixation of doing something with your mouth is the hardest habit to get over when quitting, Waeterling said.

“When you quit smoking, you get stressed out really easily,” he said. “Food is a way to relieve stress instead of smoking. It’s the only thing to calm your nerves other than a cigarette.”

While quitters may gain some weight, they also reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease,

Costumed participants enjoy panels, contests this weekend in annual event hosted by Anime in Northwest OhioBy Kendra Clark

Senior Melissa Darnell walked through a crowd at the Union this past Saturday, blending in wearing her hamster costume.

She was at Animarathon, an anime convention hosted by Anime in Northwest Ohio.

“I have been coming here for six years,” Darnell said. “This convention is one of the main reasons why I came to BG.”

The convention had many events, booths, ven-dors and entertainment to participate in. Some of the more numerous events were the panels that happened all day, which ranged from lectures and

singing to contests and tea parties. “I enjoy the panels the most because most of

them are about Japanese culture,” Darnell said. “They are informative and fun at the same time.”

Paige Abern, sophomore and treasurer for ANO, shares a love for Japanese culture with Darnell. It was one of the many reasons she decided to join the club, she said.

“I joined the club because I wanted to have something to do on Saturday nights instead of par-ties,” Abern said.

She helped put together the layout of the con-vention for this year and organized the Kawaii Kafe, which sold wraps, lemonade, tea and cake to the hungry shoppers.

“It’s a bit of heavy work, but well worth it,” Abern said. “I get to see people dressed up, unwind and just be weird.”

Brianna Tomlinson is the president of ANO. She has been helping plan the anime convention since this past March, she said.

“I enjoy running it,” Tomlinson said. “I work well with stress and it is well worth it in the end.”

Along with overseeing the officers in the club, Tomlinson is in charge of signing agreements with vendors that come to the convention to sell goods.

“We have many vendors and artists come

For Tau Kappa Epsilon member Justin Rivello, Greek Sing brings a special togetherness to the Greek community.

An annual dancing competi-tion, which is the finale of Greek Weekend, Greek Sing is an event where members of University Fraternity and Sorority Life compete.

“I always feel like the overall

morale of the Greek community benefits a great deal from both Greek Sing and Greek Weekend in general,” Rivello said.

The event was the finale of Greek Weekend, a weekend-long competition between fraterni-ties and sororities. Greek Sing took place Sunday night in the Stroh Center.

Chapters were not required to participate in the weekend, so teams may have included two or three fraternities or

sororities.Throughout the competi-

tion, fraternities and sorori-ties were given awards for their accomplishments and contribu-tions during the previous year, Rivello said.

Some awards included the new member award, academ-ic excellence award and the service and civic engagement award.

The Stroh was filled with an audience yelling and chanting

as Greek members showed off their dance moves.

Greek Sing involved 13 teams performing routines to a mix of songs related to their theme. Each team was only allowed to dance for seven minutes, and at least one member had to be lip-synching the whole time.

“This is a great way to build relations between BG’s Greek

Cooking oil from dining halls utilized as biofuel

By Seth WeberReporter

Cooking oil from the University dining halls is being used for more than just making fries.

Campus Operations and Dining Services have been using vehicles that run on used cooking oil.

Utilization of the oil started when Campus Operations converted lawn mowers to run on the new fuel. Dining Services fol-lowed suit by converting a delivery truck in August 2011.

Dining Services bought the truck, and took it to Full Circle Fuels to be converted. Full Circle Fuels is a biofuel company in Oberlin, Ohio, said David Maley, director of Facilities and Planning for Dining Services.

The truck was part of the Oaks’ Leadership in Energy

and Environmental Design certification, Maley said. A LEED designation is given to buildings which are envi-ronmentally friendly. The Oaks converted the truck to be LEED certified, though it hasn’t been certified yet.

“The Oaks certification is kind of hanging out there right now, where we haven’t got formal notice of that yet,” said Nick Hennessey, University sustainability coordinator.

Although Dining Services hasn’t had problems with its vehicle, it is not being used because Campus Operations stopped refining oil, Maley said. Operations stopped refin-ing oil because the lawn mowers have been out of service due to clogging in the engines since summer 2012.

“The program for

Operations is currently in suspension until we figure out how to make it better,” Hennessey said.

Dining Services is work-ing to be able to refine the oil itself, Maley said. Refining the oil is used to get impurities and food out.

“It’s not like you just siphon that stuff out of the fryer tank … it goes through a big process in between that,” Hennessey said, “It filters out all the impuri-ties and the food. It ends up being cleaner and more filtered than it was when

organizations, and it is a lot of fun,” Rivello said.

Fraternities and sorori-ties had preferences about which other Greek orga-nization they wanted to be paired with and picked specific themes such as, “Slumber Party,” “Make It Rain,” “Fire and Ice” and “That’s What I Call a Party.”

“Tonight, we asked Greek members to rec-ognize what we stand for through dance,” said

Andrew Hayes, a speaker at Greek Sing. “Greek Sing gives [Greek life members] an opportunity to show-case what is so close to our hearts.”

Although the competi-tion was for fun, Greek members still put in long hours of practice, said Keith Kanz, Phi Gamma Delta member.

“Everyone puts so much effort into [routines] that all of the teams come up with some really cool ones,” Kanz said.

Non-Greek members were also welcome to watch each performance,

which is one reason fresh-man Molly Mueller decid-ed to go.

“I heard about it and my roommates and friends are apart of Delta Gamma and Alpha Phi so I decided to check it out,” Mueller said. “I didn’t know about it before, so seeing all of the cool routines was cool and I’m excited to see who wins.”

The final winner of Greek Sing was Delta Gamma and Sigma Nu’s performance with a rou-tine themed, “Weather Warning.”

“It feels amazing to get

rewarded for working for so long and so hard,” said Corey James, Sigma Nu member. “I know it meant a lot to my brothers and especially the ladies of Delta Gamma, which made me honored to win.”

On March 26 and 27, the U.S. Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments regarding the rights of same-sex couples.

It’s about time.The potential landmark

case, U.S. v. Windsor, will challenge the constitutional-ity of the Defense of Marriage Act specifically, which was signed by President Bill Clinton in September of 1996. The enacted law defined marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman for federal and inter-state recognition pur-poses in the United States.

Since then, Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New

Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington have all decided to recog-nize same-sex marriage. Even the Obama adminis-tration said in 2011 that the specific section defining the union was unconstitution-al and should no longer be defended in court, though they continue to enforce it.

It doesn’t take a legal scholar to acknowledge the relevancy of the 10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” It seems fairly obvious that the Defense of Marriage Act is patently unconstitutional.

Even President George W. Bush agrees.

In 2004, he endorsed a con-stitutional amendment to restrict marriage to opposite-

sex couples, citing his worries that the courts would inevi-tably strike it down.

While considering why this issue has taken so long to be solved, I stumbled upon a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, which revealed that 58 percent of Americans now believe marriage between same-sex couples ought to be legal— a 20 percent leap from just a decade ago.

I’m of the opinion that same-sex couples should not need to wait for popular opinion to join their side to be granted equal treatment under the law.

Bush famously called marriage “the most funda-mental institution of civi-lization.” I often wonder if the traditionalists of colonial America also employed this reasoning when contemplat-ing the ancient institution of slavery. I further wonder

why we, as participants in this grand political and soci-etal environment, continu-ously allow governments to curb and restrict the human rights of its citizens— espe-cially when they unfairly affect minorities. The rights of men and women ought not be left up to a whim or majority vote.

To paraphrase John Stuart Mill, consider this thought: If all Americans minus one were of one opinion, they would be no more justi-fied in forcing that opinion on the individual than the individual would be in forc-ing the opinion on all the others.

The time for marriage equal-ity is well past due and we shouldn’t need the sentiment to be popular for it to be right.

CHANCE STOODTCOLUMNIST

This month is the 10th anni-versary of the initiation of the Iraqi war, which ended in December 2011.

With the war slowly fading behind us and new threats being posed, former President George W. Bush and former Prime Minister Tony Blair, along with other high-ranking politicians, are wanted for war crimes involved with the Iraqi invasion and the Iraqi war.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal Foundation (KLFCW), a non-govern-mental organization, was established in Malaysia in 2007 to prosecute individuals involved in war crimes such as human rights abuse, unjust

armed conflict and genocide. The purpose of these interna-tional war crime tribunals is to provide an open forum to hold hearings and carry out the legal system for internation-al crimes. The KLFCW aims to charge and prosecute the political leaders from a decade ago for their actions, the first charge being for torture, the second being for war crimes.

The chatter about want-ing individuals such as Blair, Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to be formally charged with war crimes is not new, but the most recent charges that have been made within the International Criminal Court for “acts of aggression,” which would be what Bush is charged with, do not take effect until 2017.

Along with the “acts of aggression” charge against him, people involved in hav-

ing Bush held accountable for his actions also wish to see him charged for war crimes and crimes against humanity, along with violations against the U.S. and United Nations international laws.

When it comes to war crimes, the political leaders are the individuals that will be prosecuted for their deci-sions. According to philoso-pher Helen Frowe, the com-batants are just pawns meant to carry out the political leader’s orders; combatants are not responsible for what the politicians do. Both sets of combatants believe they are fighting for the just side, believing their cause is the right cause to be fighting for.

Since the Holocaust and other such human rights disasters in the years since, there is a need for human rights to be paid attention to and something done about the countries that violate

human rights. But while being more aware of human rights and knowing that every human in the world is entitled to what the Declaration of Human Rights states, human rights threaten a country’s autonomy and sovereignty.

To make sure crimes against human rights are not being committed, the UN safeguards these rights even though countries feel threat-ened by such a power above them, rather than below them. In this context, the UN and human rights trump gov-ernment, which states do not agree with. Along with feel-ing threatened by the UN, the International Criminal Court was created for the concerns of human rights as a place to prosecute war criminals, even though since its creation, the ICC has yet to do much with

LETTER TO THE EDITORActions speak louder than words for climate change

The column entitled “Find meaning in all of God’s cre-ations” in the March 11 edi-tion of The BG News painfully reminds me of the growing threats posed by climate change.

Like the columnist, I also marvel at the beauty of nature during walks or long car rides. I’m constantly stunned at our world’s irreplaceable beauty. I remember how lucky I am

to be surrounded by such a phenomenon. However, this amazement is often fol-lowed by disappointment and worry— the “tangible exis-tence” of our world, made up of “the seas, the atmosphere, the land and the animals,” is faced with destruction right in front of us. If we want our sur-roundings to remain coherent, as he describes them, we must save them from the damages of climate change.

If God did create this world, surely we were meant to admire, appreciate and— most

importantly— preserve it. Our appreciation of the world’s beauty must fuel action to preserve its livelihood that we so heavily depend on. Why would anyone be OK with let-ting this blessing, which many believe to have been grace-fully bestowed upon us, go to waste?

If we want to continue to enjoy our “favorite sites in the world in their best appearanc-es,” comprehensive measures to combat climate change must be taken. The time has come to do away with anti-

quated sources of energy that are expensive and dangerous. By investing in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar or geothermal, we will be investing in a future that exists. I want the University to show that renewable energy is a necessary investment that is both cost-effective and healthy.

If we fail to act, think of all that will be needlessly sacri-ficed.

Encouragement can change your day; pass it on to others

Online actions carry real-life consequences

Passing on words of encour-agement can go a long way.

So many times these days, it is easy for one person to cut another down with strong dis-couraging words. I’m not too great of a guy concerning this — I’ve been there before.

However, building some-one up with kind words feels better between the giver and receiver.

In his letter to the Ephesians (4:29), Paul says, “Let no cor-rupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”

To comment on Paul’s words, we know how harsh words can affect people. Cutting people down damages and destroys relationships.

Since we know how ugly words of discouragement are, we should make a better effort to encourage. Build people up rather than scrutinizing their every move and ignoring their

good gifts and efforts. Encouragement builds rela-

tionships, and it is good for the well-being of relationships. Encouraging words from a friend or colleague give others grace and hope in light of their imperfections and deficiencies. Encouragement also gives our friends confidence in their gifts when they feel hopeless or dis-mayed in their spirits.

To put Paul’s words into action, my study group partici-pated in two positive activities this past school year.

In our first activity, we gath-ered in a circle outside with our eyes closed. Our group leaders appointed five people every so often to walk around the circle with their eyes open.

Each time our leaders asked a question aloud about those in the circle, the five outside of it would tap the shoulders of those whom they wanted to encourage.

Some questions asked included “Who is having a good hair day?,” “Who in the circle has a good smile?” and “Who is someone you wish to know better?”

As many study group mem-bers felt warm and happy after this gathering, we moved on

to our second encouragement activity.

Inside our meeting room, our leaders provided us paper and crayons. Here, we walked around and wrote down posi-tive notes about each person where they sat.

For example, people would write about how the other per-son was a good leader. Others would write about how nice or friendly other people were. Then, people would write about how they wish they could become closer friends with another person.

Seeing the signatures of those who wrote each note made people feel more loved and gratified.

Leaving that study group session that night, I felt closer to each of my sisters and brothers in Christ. Like how many oth-ers shared my happiness, this is how relationships can build through encouragement.

Check out these other verses about encouragement: Proverbs 12:25, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Hebrews 10:19-25 and I Thessalonians 5:11.

their name. Will Bush, Blair and all of

the other head politicians from a decade ago wind up in court with war crime charges against them? It seems doubtful with how these courts work, but the issue of war crimes needs to be tackled and solved as a

global issue. If it is not these individuals that eventually go to court for their actions, plan on seeing President Barack Obama to be want-ed for the war crimes he has committed in the next decade or so.

In today’s global world, with the war, the armed conflicts and the uprisings, a want for war crime charges will start appearing for those who have had a hand in glob-

al affairs. It takes time for these cases to work their way forward and into the spot-light— trials for a woman involved in the genocide in Rwanda is just now facing the ICC in court sometime within the past month, and the genocide happened nearly two decades ago.

CASSIE From Page 4

By now, anyone who is even slightly sentient knows of the rape case in Steubenville and the accompanying national attention. Much of the out-rage has been correctly focused on the role of social media.

Jimmy Momenee should know. Momenee, 25, gradu-ated in May with a dual major in communications and political science from the University of Toledo.

He was a DJ for WXUT, the student-run radio sta-tion affiliated with UT. Momenee’s show “The Quarry with Jimmy” used to air on Monday nights.

Momenee was an active user of social media, as are most of his contemporaries.

Note the use of the past tense.

Why the past tense? Momenee had been com-menting on the Steubenville case. His tweet that appro-priately resulted in intense backlash was: “Disgusting outcome on Steubenville trial. Remember, kids, if you’re drunk/slutty at a party, and embarrassed later, just say you got raped!”

Due to the outrage that fol-lowed this tweet, Momenee’s show was suspended. He’s now as welcome at WXUT as a skunk at a wedding, to use Harry Truman’s phrase.

Momenee has now gone “on Twitter vacation indefi-

nitely,” according to his own post.

Even at this advanced stage of social media devel-opment, evidently some still don’t comprehend the con-sequences of social media misuse.

There are those who would cite the First Amendment and say that Momenee had a right to say what he said, and that everyone’s thoughts should be given full expres-sion. They ignore the fact that the First Amendment is not a guarantee against falsehood, bad taste or stupidity.

Also forgotten is that not all speech is protected. Use of threats, hate speech and incitement to riot are all spe-cifically excluded from the First Amendment’s umbrella.

Other incidents reinforce this concept.

Two teenage girls have been arrested in Steubenville for sending threatening tweets to the rape victim, as if the victim wasn’t suffering enough. Specifically, the two are charged with intimidat-ing a victim (a felony), and aggravating and menacing telecommunications (misde-meanors).

The local sheriff’s office has been monitoring Twitter 24 hours a day. The county assistant prosecutor has con-cluded that apparently some don’t understand the conse-quences of posting on Twitter or Facebook. He stated, ”It’s beyond me why these young people believe it’s OK to post things of this nature on social media.”

This seemingly universal ignorance is not limited to

Steubenville. The University of Michigan

monitors the social media of its 900 student athletes, using two outside consult-ing firms. The rationale is to avoid embarrassment to the University and its reputation.

In one instance, one of the consulting firms hired an attractive woman to go online and bait student athletes. It was no surprise that some wanted to begin an online relationship with her.

All of this was turned over to university authorities and a presentation on social media was given to the ath-letes in Ann Arbor. The young woman was introduced to the students at the meeting, and all the tweets (and their authors) were put on a big screen for all to see.

The athletic director stat-ed, “You can just see the guys who bit the hook slide into their chairs.”

This was not done to embarrass or entrap, but to illustrate the lesson that some in Ann Arbor, Steubenville and apparently everywhere had either forgotten or never learned.

Any message or comment posted on social media does not go away. It can conceiv-ably stay there forever. And we are all responsible for our words and actions, as well as the consequences that fol-low.

Welcome to the brave new— and very real— world.

Don’t attempt to control every aspect of life

When I look in the mirror, I see more than I can some-times stand at eight in the morning.

As soon as my eyes adjust to the blistering light in the bathroom, it all hits me: my hair is shaggy and unkempt, my face is pudgy, my chin is hairless and my toned abs ... a work-in-progress.

I’ve been unhappy with the way I look at differ-ent points in my life. The thought of how oth-ers must view me physi-cally weighs heavily on my mind. These thoughts give way to deeper, more vexing questions as I enter the shower and hope my rendition of “What’s Going On” doesn’t make Marvin Gaye roll over in his grave.

I guess I’ve always been more of a wonderer than your average person. I’ve always wanted to know why I was here on earth and what my purpose was.

As a kid, I wanted to be a firefighter, then a base-ball player, then a writer. By the wiser, omniscient

age of 18, I thought I had it all figured out. I was going to major in French and become a college pro-fessor. Easy, right?

It turns out that I had mistaken passion for interest. C’est la vie.

At 21, I’ve been humbled enough times by life’s realities to know that try-ing to control every part of your life will avail you nothing.

One such time was working at my yearly summer job at a car ser-vice garage.

In the heat of the sum-mer days, it can get brutal. Were it not for the oppor-tunity to earn money, I’d say it was miserable. But the real joys and pains of the job are the people.

It was my first time being exposed to men who were older than me, but young enough to still be relatable. Many of them talked with me, swapping stories, and I found that many of them have endured heartbreak-ing tragedies and hard-ships in their lives such as addiction, death and loneliness.

In their own ways, many of them struggle with the same sort of existential questions I do.

This concept always led me to question why we do anything, being that we

can control so little.Why do we sweat, bleed,

cry, laugh and reach for the sky when in only 100 years, most of our lives, our greatest achievements and proudest moments will be nothing more than whis-pers between distant stars?

It’s a depressing thing to think about, but it’s beau-tiful too in its own way.

We read of the great-est heroes, martyrs and prophets as if their fame was set in stone at their births, but maybe this was their greatest worry too.

Maybe the questions of identity, love, death and eternity weighed on their minds just as it weighs on mine and on those of oth-ers. But this same thing that gives us sadness and confusion can also give us release and serenity.

There are some things that we will never be able to control or change, and every moment we try harder to micromanage our lives, the simple plea-sures found in the day become harder to enjoy.

So, when our destinies don’t reveal themselves to us, and the right path to walk seems unclear, we can only pick up our feet and walk.

The Charles E. Shanklin Award for Research Excellence is known at the University and around the world, which is one of the reasons Rony Khnayzer decided to apply for it.

“It is a very presti-gious award that is not only known at BGSU, but around,” said Khnayzer, a graduate student pursuing a degree in photochemical sciences. “I decided to apply, first, because of the prestige it brings to me and the sec-ond one is the prize, which is relatively high. “

Khnayzer is a student from Lebanon, and first heard about the award from his adviser in Lebanon, who won it in the past, he said.

“It was one of the awards I wanted to get from Bowling Green,” he said.

The Shanklin awards recognize research excel-lence, said David Sleasman, Graduate Student Senate president.

The awards show the importance the University puts on research, said Michael Ogawa, vice presi-dent for Research and Economic Development.

“It raises the awareness of research on campus,” he said. “One of the most important missions of the University is to create knowledge and to dissemi-nate knowledge, and that’s the definition of research.”

GSS sponsors the com-petition, which offers awards to six students in three categories, Sleasman said. Students can submit research in Science and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences or Arts and Humanities, he said.

Graduate students submit their research to the compe-tition with a 20 page sum-mary, Sleasman said.

The summary had to be technical but addressed to a different audience than he’s used to, Khnayzer, who won first place in the Science and Mathematics category in 2012, said.

“The application process is an opportunity for stu-dents to present their work to a lay audience,” Ogawa said. “It’s challenging but also important.”

Khnayzer submitted two papers to the competition, and won with one about increasing the efficiency of solar cells using non-coher-ent pumped up conver-

sion photochemistry. The competition helped him because it made him be able to describe his research to a different audience, he said.

“To be able to write is different than to be able to communicate your sci-ence to an audience as a researcher and a scientist; a very important aspect is to be able to communicate our findings,” Khnayzer said.

Once the research is sub-mitted, faculty members judge the research and two finalists in each category are determined, Sleasman said.

The finalists then must present at the GSS Awards Ceremony on April 18, Sleasman said.

“Preparing for the Shanklin Award presenta-tion helped me a lot in order to be able to communicate my findings to the general public,” Khnayzer said.

The finalists have to pres-

What are the facts?Israel is a tiny country, with fewer than eight

million inhabitants (1.6 million of whom are Arabs). Itis surrounded by 22 Arab countries with 400 millionpeople. Nonetheless, Arab propaganda has convincedthe world that Israel is an aggressive invader in theMiddle East—a mighty Goliath compared to helplessArab states. It is a supremeirony that tiny Israel, thesize of New Jersey,outnumbered 50 to 1 andencircled by implacableenemies obsessed with itsdestruction, is considered amortal danger to Muslimsand to peace on earth. The linkage theory is that ifIsrael would make peace with the Palestinians, peacewould descend upon the world and Islamist terrorwould cease.

But Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict are clearlynot the root cause of the strife and turmoil in theMiddle East. Israel was not involved in the deaths ofthe millions who perished in the Iraq-Iran war, nor inthe current Sunni-Shiite civil war in Iraq. Peacebetween Israel and the Palestinians would do nothingto stop Iran’s headlong development of nuclearweapons and its goal to achieve Middle Easthegemony. Israel has no part in the Syrian civil war,which has so far killed more than 60,000 people, norhas it played any role in the chaotic “Arab Spring” thatis still roiling Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Tunisia.Neither does Israel have any influence over theintractable conflict between warring Palestinianfactions—Fatah in the West Bank and the terroristgroup Hamas in Gaza.

Is Israel an intruder in the Middle East? The stateof Israel resulted from the same process that created adozen or more nations in Europe and the Middle Eastfrom the remnants of the Austro-Hungarian andOttoman Empires by Western democracies and theUnited Nations. For three thousand years Jews havecontinually inhabited what is today Israel and Judeaand Samaria, the so-called “West Bank.” In short, fewcountries born in the 20th century have a strongerclaim to national self-determination than doesIsrael—and certainly not the Arabs, who have neverhad a state in Palestine nor a capital in Jerusalem. Yetit has been Arab nations, unable to countenance a

Jewish state, that have waged numerous unprovokedwars against Israel.

And how about terror? Many believe that Israel isthe root cause of the terror that Islamists havevisited—and visit to this day—upon the world. Butconsider the attack on the United States on September11, 2001, murderous attacks on the London subway

system and in Mumbai,India, as well as theassassination of a U.S.diplomat in Sudan andmost recently the U.S.Ambassador and three otherconsular officials inBenghazi, Libya. These and

dozens of other acts of cowardly terror would havetaken place even if there were no Israel. Rather, theyare a reflection of the hatred that radical Islamistsharbor against the West and its institutions. Thathatred has nothing to do with Israel. Yet many believethat if only the United States would withhold itssupport of Israel—or “force” Israel to make peace withthe Palestinians—Middle East terror would cease andwe would no longer have to fear the scourge of suicidebombings, a uniquely Arab invention. Israel’s role andresponsibility in Arab discontent is an illusion. Araband Islamist hatred toward the West and their deadlyinternal struggles would continue even if Israel ceasedto exist.

Many claim that Arab and Islamist terror is theresult of despair, hopelessness and poverty. But thefacts prove otherwise. While Middle East Arabs aresome of the richest people in the world, instead ofusing their enormous wealth to benefit their people,they squander it in luxurious excesses for a privilegedfew. The nineteen 9/11 hijackers were not poor ordesperate. They were, without exception, well-educated people, members of upper-middle classfamilies. The leaders of such Arab-Muslim terrororganizations as Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda andIslamic Jihad are educated people, from the upperreaches of their societies. No, terror is not a responseof Arab-Muslims to alleged injustice by Israel, but israther a customary strategy used by Arabs andIslamists to express their grievances against anyenemy, even their own brethren. This pattern wouldnot be any different if Israel had never existed or wouldcease to exist.

The “Root Cause” of the Middle East TurmoilWould peace descend if the Arab-Israeli conflict

were resolved?Many are convinced that the conflict between Israel and its neighbors in the predominantly Muslim Middle Eastis the “root cause” of the ongoing violence in the region and of worldwide acts of terror. Some leading politiciansand many pundits have attempted to establish linkage between the Arab-Israeli conflict and the turmoil prevalentthroughout the Middle East. But does this linkage really exist?

The cause of violent revolution and attacks on the U.S., Israel and other Western states is dysfunctional Arab-Muslim governments and the exploding influence of radical Islamism. This lust for war and terror will not endwith an Israeli-Palestinian peace, but rather will cease when Arab-Muslims come to terms with the Jewish state’sright to exist and the West’s leadership role in the fight for human and democratic rights.

Along with the vendors and entertainment, peo-ple had the option to dress up as their favorite anime, manga or gaming character. Attendees could also enter their outfits to be judged in a

“There are two sides to the contest,” Maddox said. “One is to see how well the partici-pants sewed their costumes and how well they look. The other is a skit they have to rehearse and perform in front of judges.”

Maddox herself was dressed as a regular Pokémon nerd, sporting a ‘Staryu cof-fee’ t-shirt and jeans.

“I am fascinated with the gamer and anime cul-ture,” Maddox said. “Their point of view is a unique one from the normal pop culture.”

“What gets put in to the air as far as emissions is just a fraction of if it had operated purely on diesel,” he said.

Yingling said.“Even that gain of six to

13 pounds in the long run is going to be better than not quitting smoking,” she said.

Cardiovascular disease is not the only risk smokers reduce when they kick the habit, Yingling said.

There are many long-term risks for smoking, such as infertility and cancer, as well as many short-term problems like bronchitis and asthma, she said.

Smoking can also cause coronary heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated 443,000 deaths or nearly one out of every five deaths a year is associated with smoking, according to the CDC.

Most college students know there are risks for smoking, but don’t know

they are at risk now, Yingling said.

“I think that at some point people have heard the health effects of smoking,” she said. “I think it’s hard to not these days, but I think this age group, this popula-tion, just doesn’t think in terms of it’s going to effect them now. The risks now don’t seem relevant.”

Some colleges and uni-versities across the nation are turning to smoke-free campuses, said Alex Solis, Undergraduate Student Government president.

USG is working on a pro-posal to make designated smoking sections through-out campus and promote a healthier campus, he said.

Although some state offi-cials and University admin-istrators want campus to be completely tobacco free, Solis wanted to compro-mise to please students on campus, he said.

“When USG first decided to endorse this proposal or idea, we did a lot of out-

reach to students,” he said. “I wanted to make a deci-sion based on everyone. Our goal is to make it a healthier campus.”

Some people believe lim-iting smoking on campus will benefit the health of students, faculty and staff.

“Anytime you can make a positive health change I think it’s a positive step in the right direction, and I think it’s evident from a national trend,” Yingling said.

Waeterling said the smok-ing areas would still ben-efit those who still want to smoke on campus.

“I think that they defi-nitely have to consider other people that do smoke,” she said. “Some people smoke while walk-ing to class and their smoke blows in people’s faces. Even though I smoke, I don’t want other people’s smoke blowing in my face. A smoking ban is impos-sible, but making smoking sections would be fair.”

• BG will play at home in the third round of WNIT.• BG is 14-4 at the Stroh Center this season.

By Nicholas VanderpoolReporter

The Falcons defeated their old team rivals, the Ohio State Buckeyes, on Saturday in a statement game.

“We’ve had to dodge the fro-zen ground, freezing rain and snow just like everyone else in the Midwest, so we spent the week working on situation-al tactics,” said Coach Tony Mazzarella. “It’s a change for the whole team, but I think that paid off big for us.”

BG jumped to a 5-0 lead after wing Nolan Cavano scored a try in the corner of the endzone, but the Buckeyes closed the gap and capitalized on a penalty kick to bring the margin within two.

The team established its style of rugby early with a Bryan Kean try to lead 10-3. The BG forwards got low and drove the Buckeye defense back 10 yards to push Kean into the endzone.

The Falcons followed up with f lanker Justin Stevens snagging a fumbled ball and returning it 50 yards for a try.

BG looked to be in great shape, but Ohio State scored in the remaining seconds of the first half to make the game a four score difference.

“It was a mental lapse,” said center Michael Ziegler. “We should have known they were desperate for a score, and they dragged it wide when we were expecting them to kick for points.”

Ziegler’s defense sealed the deal for the Falcons in the sec-ond, as he intercepted a pass and took it back 75 yards for a try.

BG continues to battle inju-ries in the backfield, but the forwards fight together by playing ferocious, hard-nosed rugby.

By Alex KrempaskyAssistant Sports Editor

The BG women’s basketball team continued its winning streak in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament with a 61-54 win against the Atlantic-10 Conference’s Duquesne Dukes.

The Falcons’ win was greatly helped by double-digit scoring from guard Jillian Halfhill and forward Jill Stein.

“Anything can happen in March,” Coach Jennifer Roos said. “And today, our team came out and played extremely well against a team, in my opinion, an extremely talented team.”

Duquesne started off with a physical game plan BG had trouble with on both sides of the ball. The Dukes began with a layup and stopped BG from scoring for the first three minutes of the game.

Forward Alexis Rogers made the Falcons’ first point of the game with a free throw, but missed her second at the 16:59 mark in the first half.

The first field goal BG made came from forward Danielle Havel nearly five minutes into the half. The basket started BG’s offensive push for the rest of the half.

The Falcons went on a seven-point run following three free throws made by Halfhill.

The two teams went back and forth for most of the half. Duquesne went on an eight-point run in the last three minutes but Halfhill ended it with a three-point shot on the Falcons’ last possession of the half.

The Falcons ended the half trailing the Dukes, 29-25.BG started off the second half with a turnover as Duquesne capital-

ized on the mistake with a layup to extend its lead to six, which would be the largest lead it would hold.

The Falcons and Dukes continued to go back and forth scoring and missing baskets. However, Stein went on a hot streak of 13 consecutive points, which helped push the Falcons ahead of the Dukes in the final moments.

“Sometimes as a player you’re just confident,” Stein said. “And I

The Falcons lost Friday’s matchup 13-6 and both double-header matchups Saturday, both 4-3.

The Falcons fall to 4-15 (0-3) on the season as Western Michigan improved its record to 7-15 (3-0).

In the first game of the series, BG started off with a three-run first inning, but WMU answered with six earned runs off of Falcons starter Cody Apthorpe. The Falcons would only score three more runs in the game as the Broncos would score seven in the later innings.

disappoint, but the Falcons just wanted it more by being faster on the breakdowns, faster on the attack and faster

to set up on defense.If BG can get healthy

within the next few weeks, the team will be a danger-ous opponent for anyone in the national tourna-ment next month.

“Injuries are apart of

this game,’ said Ziegler. “It’s how you fill those injuries that matter.”

The Falcons will host the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday at 1 p.m. It will be the second of their three Big Ten opponents this spring.

Stein recorded a career-high 16 points.

The next opponent will

be Drexel, which defeated Harvard this past Saturday, 82-72.

Drexel finished third in the Colonial Athletic Association but lost to the No. 15 ranked Delaware Blue Hens in the confer-

ence tournament. They defeated Iona 59-50 in the opening round of the WNIT.

The Falcons will host the Drexel Dragons at 7 p.m. at the Stroh Center on Thursday.

The Falcon softball team extended its streak to four games after sweeping Wright State on Friday.

BG continued its long stretch of road play, drop-ping the Raiders in a two game series, 2-0 and 2-1.

Pitcher Paris Imholz kept up her dominance on the mound, earning another win in game one. Imholz is now 9-1 as a

starter for the Falcons.Game one was also led

by senior Paige Berger with two hits and two runs scored. Berger hit a double in the fifth inning, followed by a Wright State error, which gave the Falcons its first score of the series.

Berger would steal two bases in the seventh inning to give the Falcons its other score of the game, successfully shut-

ting-out the Raiders.Game two was led by

Freshman Marisa Shook, who belted a game-win-ning home-run in the fifth.

BG got on board first again in the second game, scoring in the fourth inning. Give-and-take hitting between Senior Hannah Fulk and Berger allowed the pairing to

Coach Kerrie Beach won Coach of the Year at the Mid-American Conference Championships.

This was Beach’s first time winning the award. She has been coaching Falcon gym-nastics since 2008.

“I was overwhelmed by emotion,” Beach said. “I really share that award with [assistant coaches] Taylor Jones and Chad Wiest. I couldn’t do any of this without them. It’s really a ‘coaching staff of the year’ award if you ask me.”

This award points to the success the gym-nastics team has had in the past two years.

In 2011 her team regional qualifying scores were 190.865 and rose to 193.630 in 2012.

The improvement kept coming as the falcons improved their RQS to 194.035.

This year’s Falcon team finished third in the MAC with a 3-3 winning percentage. This past year’s team was 1-5 against MAC teams.

“I’m just thankful to my colleagues who chose to recognize the fact that our program’s improving. I’m quite humbled by it,” Beach said.

Fulk was walked set-ting up a sacrifice bunt to move her to second. Berger then nailed her second double of the game, which allowed Fulk to run home.

Pitcher Jamie Kertes gave up one run in the fifth, which set up Shook’s game winning shot.

Imholz came in to relieve Kertes, earning her

second win of the day.BG continue to play

on the road as it travels to Big Ten powerhouse Michigan on Wednesday. The Falcons are on a four game win streak that will be tested in Ann Arbor.

domination by the Western Michigan offense. The Broncos started off the game with a four-run first inning against BG pitcher Mike Frank, but didn’t score a run for the rest of the game.

Frank would go on to pitch six more scoreless

innings, taking the loss. The starter’s record is now just 0-4 on the season despite a 3.34 earned run average.

The Falcons never caught up in that game, coming up a run short in a 4-3 loss.

The Falcons started the second game of the doubleheader on a bet-ter note. The game began with a two-run first inning

for BG, but the Broncos answered with a three-run third inning, giving them the lead.

This game featured more of a pitching duel than in the earlier games of the series. WMU starter Patrick Borlik went 8 1/3 innings, giving up two earned runs and seven hits. BG’s starter Trevor Blaylock nearly matched him, going 6 2/3 innings

with a lone earned run. Blaylock (0-5) and Frank

(0-4) are 0-9 on the season while the rest of the start-ing rotation is 3-4 in 2013.

The Falcons’ next game will be March 26 in Dayton against the Wright State Raiders 8-12 (3-3). The next MAC series is this week-end in Mount Pleasant, Mich. when BG takes on the Central Michigan Chippewas 10-12 (1-2).

ent their work publicly, and that’s a good experience, Ogawa said.

“For so many researchers, they’re so absorbed in the details that sometimes they neglect to think about the big picture,” he said. “When explaining it to the public, the big picture is often more important than details.”

First and second place for each category are chosen after the presentations; the first place monetary award is $1,250, and the second place monetary award is $750, Sleasman said.

“It’s the premier event for graduate students for research and awards,” Sleasman said.

This is the 31st year for the competition, Sleasman said. The award is named after Charles Shanklin, who was a past member of the University Board of Trustees who advocated for graduate students. He died in 2000, Sleasman said.

The judging for this year’s competition is going on now, finalists will be notified about a week before the April 18 ceremony, Sleasman said.
