business such as The Happy Badger and Qdoba Mexican Grill. Each business will award its own first round prize. Then you can be entered into the second round of the contest, for gift certificates,” Smeltzebra said.
The second round winner will be determined by voters on the Downtown Bowling Green Facebook page. All pho-tos for voting must be received by Nov. 26. Voting closes Nov.
28, Smeltzebra said. Emily Kinsley, a volunteer
coordinator, said on Dec. 3 The Winter Market event will begin, which includes the best of Downtown Farmers’ Market food and fun activities at the Wood County District Library.
In addition, the event will also include free holiday activities for children every Saturday, Kinsley said.
The Third Annual Community Concert will occur Dec. 17 in the Wood County Courthouse Atrium, Kinsley said.
Free admission is allowed
only with a donation for the toy drive or a pair of new mittens. The day also features wagon rides and tours of the historic courthouse, Kinsley said.

veteran of “NaNoWriMo.” “Giving people a chance to focus on writing with other writers is an incredible motivation to keep typing,” Neumeyer said.
To reach the minimum word count, entrants are expected to write an aver-age of 1667 words every day in November, said Craigo, a University General Studies Writing professor and Editor-in-Chief of the Mid-American Review, an international liter-ary journal.
“Once you get behind, it’s sometimes hard to catch back up,” Killoren said.
“Good writers write every day,” Craigo said. “Some of us get away from it because we’re too busy. ‘NaNoWriMo’ gets us back on track.”
For many entrants, the bat-tle between length and qual-ity can be difficult. Trying to reach the 50,000 word goal while maintaining story quality is a challenge, Craigo said.
“The story doesn’t have to be incredible,” Neumeyer said. “It just has to be put down on the page.”
Craigo said she is normally a poet, but has joined her stu-dents this month as a novelist for “NaNoWriMo.”
“I didn’t even plan who my characters would be, I just wrote my introduction and took off,” she said.
Killoren said she brain-stormed ideas prior to the contest.
“On the second day, [I] ended up starting com-pletely over with a new idea,” she said.
As he reaches the final stretch of “NaNoWriMo,” Neumeyer hopes to “win” for the third consecutive year. To “win,” for participants, is to surpass the 50,000 word mark, he said.
“I probably won’t fin-ish early. I don’t think I ever have,” Killoren said. “I’ll fin-ish … it just might be at 11:59 on Nov. 30.”
Even with group “write-ins” and an online support system, Neumeyer said “NaNoWriMo” is not about
competing with other writ-ers.
“It is not so much win-ning … against others, as it is crossing your own finish line, which is a wonderful thing,” he said.
While “NaNoWriMo” may be a writing contest, it also serves to pay tribute to novels themselves.
Novels are considered such an integral part of liter-ature because of the impact they have on their readers, Craigo said.
“A novel is a relationship with fictional people,” she said. “You practically mourn when it is over. [Novels are] such a nice release from the real world.”

“We require a significant amount of career expe-rience in the part-time programs, probably more so than other schools,” Childs said. “That makes up a lot of the selectivity.”
Chatfield advises students interested in pursuing an MBA to maintain a high GPA and to become familiar with the GMAT test.
“Take a few business courses which build a bridge
from an undergraduate pro-gram to a business master degree,” he said.
Currently, Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business holds the highest overall rat-ing in the state.

Student United Way is an organization in the works on campus seeking to provide volunteer opportunities to students.
Katie Post, an Undergraduate Student Government senator, has been behind this project since the beginning. Post sits on the campaign ward for United Way and works with the volunteer coordi-nators.
“It’s been in the process all semester but we’ve just start-ed to lay the groundwork in the past few weeks,” Post said.
The main goal of Student United Way will be to “mobi-lize volunteers in the com-munity,” she said.
“We’re really excited to have a United Way that gets students involved,” she said.
The University is one of the biggest contributors to United Way Wood County through faculty and staff donations, Post said. United Way is doing fall campaign-ing to raise money through December.
Since students don’t have as much money to donate, Student United Way seeks
to “mobilize students as volunteers and advocates,” she said.
The organization will work with individual stu-dents, as well as volunteer organizations already on campus, to connect them to opportunities in the com-munity.
“I think because we’re more of a mobilizing body and not a fundraising body, we won’t focus so much on fundraising,” Post said.
Student United Way is not recognized as a student organization on campus yet. By the end of the aca-demic year, Post would like Student United Way to be recognized as an organiza-tion by United Way and the University.
There are three things needed for an organization to be created: 10 signatures and student ID numbers of people interested, a written constitu-tion and a faculty adviser.
“We have two out of three and we’re working on developing a constitution,” Post said.
The organization is cur-rently building a relationship with the Office of Service Learning, particularly Director of Service Learning
Jane Rosser, Post said. Rosser will be serving as
the adviser to get the organi-zation started.
“We are happy to be a part-ner with the new organiza-tion,” Rosser said.
Student United Way will be a great professional opportu-nity for students, she said.
“I’m interested in the opportunity for students to engage with corporate volun-teers,” Rosser said.
Rosser is excited for stu-dents to play more leader-ship roles in community organizations.
“This is a different kind of connection by under-standing how communities work through United Way,” she said.
One of the main focuses for United Way, Rosser said, is education.
The organization does a lot for child education and graduation rates, she said. Post also mentioned educa-tion being “at the forefront of United Way’s advocacy.”
There are many volun-teer opportunities for stu-dents interested in education including tutoring programs, Post said.
John Clevenger, a freshman at the University, is one of the
students getting involved with Student United Way.
Clevenger is one of the 10 people to provide his signa-ture to help create the orga-nization.
Clevenger likes to get involved in campus organiza-tions. He is already involved in Hall Council and USG.
“I think [volunteering] is a good way to give back,” he said.
Clevenger said that food drives are one of the most important areas of volun-teerism to him.
“You hear about a lot of people not having food,” he said. “I don’t think someone should go hungry.”
He also likes the commu-nity aspect of volunteerism. To Clevenger, it’s about “just making a difference in some-one’s life.”
Meetings for Student United Way are planned to take place every other Thursday at 9 p.m. in the Union, Post said. Anyone interested in attending can contact Post at [email protected].
“[Student United Way] is all about plugging people into the right places and making sure there is a fit for each vol-unteer,” she said.

A new company is coming to the University that is offer-ing real-world experience, created and founded by stu-dents for students.
The company, College Student Insights, is the only University enterprise in the nation founded and operated solely by under-graduate college of busi-ness students.
CSI is currently a class designed to prepare stu-dents for the marketing research field by using hands-on experiences. In the upcoming semes-ter, it will be a marketing research firm that will study students’ buying behaviors by the use of var-ious techniques including questionnaires.
CSI has already for-mulated a questionnaire about restaurants that stu-dents prefer and why they do so. The results will then be sold to the participating restaurants.
“As a restaurant, why wouldn’t you want to know what our students think about them and where they stack up,” said David Reid, CSI’s advisor.
Reid, as well as a team of six students, has been work-ing toward this company so that University students will have the opportunity to get involved in a fully-function-ing business.
“If you go to law school, you have to practice law to pass the bar exam. Medical students have to work on patients before graduat-ing,” Reid said. “But in busi-ness schools, no real-world experience is required.”
The company already has some long-term goals. CSI will speak to resi-dence halls so that in the future it could institute a “living-lapse.”
These living-lapses would involve a few floors in cer-tain halls that would be used for surveys and ques-tionnaires for CSI as well as clients.
“If you could gain an
entire year of work while in college, why wouldn’t you?” Reid said. “Imagine what adding CEO, mar-keting director or account executive of an actu-al, sustainable market research business could do to your resume.”
The CSI course will be available for any College of Business juniors or seniors interested.
“It was a stretching expe-rience for me and my lead-ership development,” said senior Stephen Howard, a former president of CSI. “It gave me a comfort zone because I was constantly put into different positions, but from that experience, many situations just feel familiar to me.”
It wil l be six credit hours and a submitted resume will be required as the course needs per-mission from the instruc-tor, Reid said.
“It takes time, it does, there is no getting around it,” said senior Austin Zachrich, the marketing director for CSI. “It takes a lot of outside work. It is in no way a regular in-classroom class, but it has given me a chance to meet with real professionals in their fields.”
The course will be offered this upcoming spring semester, and the staff said it is excited about the potential of the course.
“Other schools talk about business, but at BGSU we hope to run a business,” Reid said.
Reid said he is open to any questions and submis-sions via email at [email protected].

“Their music is high energy,” Woznicki said. “We were lucky enough to have them in BG.”
He said the crowd was really into the band and there was even a big mosh pit.
“Some of the staff and even some of the people who attended the event got to meet the band after-wards,” Woznicki said.
Woznicki is looking toward future plans for the radio station, including another possible concert in the spring.
He said “Cla-Zel was a great host” and he looks forward to having another concert with them in the future.
Another event set for the spring is a garage sale. Woznicki said the radio sta-tion wants to sell the CDs they have in the basement to make room for a new project.
The radio station wants to turn the space in the basement that is holding CDs into a music library. Woznicki said this “base-ment project” is still in the planning stages, and they will know more after winter break.
As the radio station moves on after 60 years, the people involved with it look forward to having WBGU-FM exist for years to come.
“We’ve done our job right for 60 years,” Merrill said.
He said he hopes to see the station go on for anoth-er 60 years.

People need to take a step back, laugh
People are funny and the best person to laugh at is yourself.
Now, I’m not referring to practicing your stand-up in the mirror every morning and cracking up the good-looking person reflected back at you.
I’m talking about not taking yourself too seriously.
It’s hard, but it’s so worth the effort.
During the summer, this lady wrote down the address of the home I’d be house-sitting for. The town she penned she lived in read “Cols.” I’d lived in the central Ohio region my entire life, and never once did I hear of such a foreign town.
It wasn’t until I called my mom to plug the coordinates into her GPS that I understood that “Cols” was just an abbrevi-ation for Columbus, our state’s capital and a stone throw’s away from my house.
Instead of blushing and even getting angry like I usually do when I make a fool out of myself, I laughed it off.
It felt good. This was a big stepping stone
in my social life because I did not like people gaining a chuck-le at my expense. How embar-rassing, right? Their high opin-ions must lower every time I do something comical. Wrong.
Being able to laugh and poke fun at yourself suggests that you have way bigger things to worry about then maintaining your stony, humorless demeanor.
Who wants to be friends with someone who doesn’t realize it takes less muscles to smile than frown anyway?
I’ve found that the people I most enjoy spending time with are those who don’t take them-selves too seriously and know how to laugh.
We all remember those rare but wonderful deep, uncon-trollable belly laughs that occur when something is so funny, we feel like the air in our lungs is constricting with giggles right along with us.
They don’t usually occur when watching the newest R-rated comedy or increasing YouTube views.

New Ford provides muscle car power
The media is filled with gloom and doom, and replete with enough bad news to take teeth grinding to the next level.
But, occasionally a bit of light appears, a piece of news that actually gives hope for the future.
The latest purveyor of glad tidings is the Ford Motor Company.
Ford recently announced that the 2013 Mustang will sport a supercharged engine with 650 horsepower.
For those not among the Elect, this means one thing: fast. Insanely fast.
Understand me: anyone who misuses automotive excel-lence and capability on a pub-lic road with any vehicle should be fined, horse whipped, and live out their remaining days driving a two-cylinder econo-box powered by bacon grease and three double A batteries.
No one should be endanger-ing life or property on a public road with any vehicle, includ-
ing a bicycle.There are organizations,
such as the Sports Car Club of America, that hold rallies on airport tarmacs and indus-trial parking lots, as well as those that sponsor the “run what ya brung” events at local drag strips.
This latest reincarnation of the American Muscle Car was made for this type of adult fun.
The engineering on these vehicles is truly breath taking. Not only is the future Mustang capable of going 200 mph right out of the box, today’s base V-6 engine delivers more giddy-up than the V-8 of seven years ago.
Yes, this is all so politically and culturally incorrect.
We are continually remind-ed by everyone from Al Gore to the latest talking head from the Global Warming — sorry, “Climate Change” — crowd about the carbon footprint that accompanies burning anything other than a lighted match.
And, yes, for the record, my wife and I each drive a Honda Accord.

“A murder-mystery.”
Since 1979, the United States has expendeduntold diplomatic capital to forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace. Yet every time peace has seemed athand—including the U.S.-brokered Oslo accords in1993, and Israel’s historic Camp David offer in 2000of a Palestinian state with a capital in EastJerusalem—the Palestinians have refused to makepeace. In 2008, followingthe Annapolis summit,Israeli Prime MinisterOlmert again offered thePalestinians a statebased on 1967 bordersand a capital inJerusalem, but P.A.President Mahmoud Abbas walked away without acounter offer. In 2010, in order to bring the partiestogether for new peace talks, President Obamaconvinced Israel to enforce a moratorium onbuilding in Jerusalem suburbs for 10 months. Yet foreight months, P.A. President Abbas refused to takepart in talks, and when the moratorium expired twomonths later, Abbas walked out and has refused toreturn to negotiations ever since.
In addition to its diplomatic investment, the U.S.has over the decades given the Palestinian Authoritymore than four billion dollars in aid. Today, theUnited States provides some $825 million annually indirect aid and funding through the United Nations.
Yet despite this generous diplomatic support andfinancial largesse, Mahmoud Abbas and PalestinianAuthority officials have verbally attacked the UnitedStates and snubbed U.S. aid. In June, 2011, 28Palestinian Authority municipalities in the WestBank announced a “boycott of the Americanconsulate, its diplomats, and the Americaninstitutions in Jerusalem,” adding that Americans“cannot extort the Palestinian people and humiliate itwith a bit of aid.” Referring to these huge U.S.financial grants, Abbas said, “This does not mean thatthey [the U.S.] dictate to us whatever they want . . .They demanded that we should not sign the Egyptianreconciliation agreement [with Hamas], but we sentAzzam Al-Ahmed to sign it.”
The Palestinian Authority did indeed rejectrequests by the United States not to form an alliancewith Hamas terrorists in May, 2011, knowing fullwell that it is against U.S. law for Congress to fundany organization with terrorist ties. Remember thatHamas stands openly by its goal to conquer everyinch of Palestine, cleanse it of Jews, and establish afundamentalist Islamic caliphate. Above all, Hamas
refuses to accept thestate of Israel andcondemns any effortsto negotiate peace.
Most recently, inSeptember, 2011,President Abbasrejected pleas by the
Obama administration and the European Union toreturn to negotiations with Israel and refrain from abid for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state atthe U.N. Instead, Abbas proceeded to the U.N. andmade his defiant request.
Time to stop aid to U.S. enemies. Hillary Clintonstated in April, 2011: “We will not deal with nor inany way fund a Palestinian government that includesHamas unless and until Hamas has renouncedviolence, recognized Israel and agreed to follow theprevious obligations of the Palestinian Authority.” Infact, annual U.S. foreign operations appropriationsbills expressly forbid funding for “assistance toHamas or any entity effectively controlled by Hamasor any power-sharing government of which Hamas isa member.”
In July, 2011, both houses of Congressoverwhelmingly passed resolutions that threatenwithdrawal of aid from the Palestinian Authority if itpersists in efforts to circumvent direct negotiationswith Israel by turning to the United Nations forrecognition—which it has done—and if thePalestinian Authority shares power with arecalcitrant Hamas. According to the chairman ofthe House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. IleanaRos-Lehtinen, “Despite decades of assistance totalingbillions of dollars, if a Palestinian state were declaredtoday, it would be neither democratic, nor peacefulnor willing to negotiate with Israel.”

You deserve a factual look at . . .
Despite all efforts by President Obama, the Palestinian Authority (P.A.) has rejected U.S. diplomatic efforts anda negotiated peace with Israel by requesting a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the UnitedNations. The P.A. also announced a merger with the Islamic terror group Hamas. Currently the U.S. sendssome $600 million dollars annually in direct aid to the P.A., plus an additional $225 million in funding throughthe U.N. Is this the best use of American tax dollars?

By allying with the terrorist group Hamas, abandoning peace talks with Israel, and taking its case forstatehood unilaterally to the United Nations, it’s clear that the Palestinian Authority has no respect for theinterests of the United States in the Middle East. In this time of financial crisis and soaring budget deficits,isn’t time for Congress to stop spending nearly a billion American tax dollars annually supporting the roguePalestinian Authority?

I don’t know if you’re following the news about the Republican presidential debates.
I try not to, but I can’t seem to resist.
It’s as if a man biting the head off a chicken is con-stantly crashing his car out-side my window. Except the window is a web browser, the man is Rick Perry, and he’s biting the head off the English language while crashing his political campaign.
But, say what you will about Rick Perry — that he has more hair than brains. Say that com-pared to him George W. Bush is a suave master of language and policy, that he brazenly cuddles bottles of maple syrup in public where everyone can see him at it.
At least we have to admit that he is actually and sincerely running for president. He is not a mere politainer.
A politainer, in this sense, is someone who entertains peo-ple using schtick that is primar-ily in the form of political or social commentary.
Politainers can be scrupu-lous about matters of fact, but usually they’re not.
Their job as entertainers is to get a rise out of the audience: to make them laugh, to make them angry, to make them scared, to make them pleased with themselves.
If mere fact gets in the way of this, it will usually get left behind in a cloud of chalk dust and conspiracy theory. The point is not to investigate truth or calmly debate issues of social policy.
The point is not to get elect-ed and wield political power. The point is to make ratings,
sell books, get paid somehow.Politainment has been with
us for decades (if not longer). Rush Limbaugh is a politainer, as is Glenn Beck.
Al Franken used to be a polit-ainer, until he finally went com-pletely honest and became an actual politician.
The most interesting thing about the Republican Primary-and-Demolition-Derby is that it marks a new career front for politainers in America.
In the run-up to the primary season, Sarah Palin skillfully played the media and an indef-inite number of dupes among the general public who were willing to think of her as a real candidate for office.
She boosted sales of her books; she boosted contribu-tions to her PAC. In the end she didn’t run, for the same reason she resigned her governorship: she has no interest in govern-ing; she just wants to be paid for her public performance in the role of Sarah Palin.
She’s a politainer who man-aged to make money directly from the political system, a real innovator in the profession.
But she’s not alone. Despite their recent moments of polling glory, neither Newt Gingrich nor Herman Cain were ever seriously running for president.
They have no campaign structure to speak of and they’ve engaged in very little campaigning that involves, say, contact with voters. They’ve been running media cam-paigns to raise their public pro-files so they can sell books and collect speaking fees.
The trouble with politainers is the great range of dishonesty they allow themselves.
An ordinary, relatively hon-est liar or con man has a hid-den purpose, but he wants to convince you that he’s for real, so he’ll pick a plausible story
and stick with it. But a polit-ainer is just throwing things out there to get a reaction, and will consequently say anything he thinks will please his audience.
If the audience changes, he’ll flip like a switch, and it turns out that he was always against the thing he just said he was for.
Newt Gingrich is, as always, the great example here.
After his $1.6 million pay-day from floundering lender Freddie Mac, he was railing against politicians — who took money from Freddie Mac.
It’s only one of a long series of astonishing double-thinks that the former Speaker thinks is perfectly okay.
And that’s the problem with politainment.
It poisons the well of public rhetoric. It absolves politicians from even the minor obligation of telling a consistent set of lies. All our politicians are becom-ing more like politainers, say-ing whatever they feel they have to say to a given audience without regard to truth or what they’ve actually done or what they claimed to have believed in other times and other places.
The ultimate effect of polit-ainment on politicians can be seen in Mitt Romney who will believe whatever his audience wants him to believe, as long as he thinks they will vote for him.
If audiences started to demand that politainers had to pay some attention to fact, politics might become a little less entertaining.
But it is possible that we could start to address some of the problems that this country actually has, and that are con-stantly ignored by professional politicians and the politainers they imitate.
In Monday’s BG News, Mathew Davoli and Alicia Reidel opened the floor for the discus-sion of gay marriage.
The disappointing thing about their columns, for all that they were meant to be in opposition, was that they were really talking about entirely dif-ferent things.
Mathew’s very personal col-umn compares the legal insti-tution of marriage from not so long ago that forbade inter-racial marriage to the current legal institution that forbids marriage between two people of the same sex.
Alicia, however, says quite clearly in the middle of her piece, “When I speak of mar-riage, I am not referring to a legal contract, but rather to a sacrament, a covenant, a vocation.”
This is an important distinc-tion: if we are having a politi-cal debate about what is legally considered marriage, we must talk about the legal contract.
If we are discussing what kinds of marriages a church,
synagogue, mosque, temple or other religious institution will perform, then we are talking about a different kind of marriage.
This is important because one does not, presumably, have to give up her religious convictions to allow that two people of the same sex may sign a legal contract.
This is a contract about two people sign in order to get certain protections and rights from the state, not to indicate some sort of change in how they interact with their god, or to get permission to initiate sexual relations.
This is a contract between them and the state so that they can share property, get taxed as a unit, and legally raise a child together.
Now, I do not know my Judeo-Christian Bible overly well, and I’ve never studied any other religion with much detail whatsoever, but it has always been my impression that these holy books do not ban the above stated rights.
But it doesn’t matter if I missed these stipulations because if we are talking about a legal institution, then reli-gious arguments have no bear-ing: this is the United States and here we separate church
and state.Many people in the LGBT
community likely want more than just the ability to sign a legal document; they may belong to a religious commu-nity as well and desire for their relationship to be legitimized in that circle as well.
So far as I’m concerned, there is nothing wrong with this, and we should be having discussions about that too.
But we cannot counter argu-ments about legal marriage by saying why two people oughtn’t be married in a church, nor can we explain why legal mar-riage is so important when the debate is about the religious institution.
All I wish to say with this column is that there are really at least two debates to have about same-sex marriage, and that we should be much more careful to keep these conversa-tions separate.
Too often, debaters on the topic are really equivocating on what they mean by marriage and speaking past each other.
To have a meaningful debate, we have to be talking about the same thing.

No, these laughs typical-ly find us when we’re just hanging out with our friends and one of them does some-thing ridiculous.
Whether it’s striking up uncomfortable conversations with random strangers or acci-dentally spitting gum out in the most awkward place, these are the times we are engulfed by hysterical laughter.
The continuation of the
aforementioned hysterics relies on the funny person responsible.
The unintended comedian ought to realize he’s being laughed with, not at. Pride will not be wounded and opinions will not be lowered when you do something laughable.
Be honored. It’s hard times like these that
we need laughter the most. Find humor in your mis-
takes. Understand you’re not a perfect person and it’s okay. Our mistakes are what make us human.
Instead of getting upset you got lost on a road trip, laugh it off as you encounter wonders you might never have discov-ered if you didn’t miss your exit.
Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Life is too short to miss out on this lesson. Be happy that, in general, people are funny.
They’re nice little reliable cars that get decent gas mile-age. They go from point A to point B with a minimum of fuss and cost.
Two words sum up the driv-ing experience they provide: adequate and boring.
But for some of us unapolo-getic Gearheads, the rebirth of the American Muscle Car is our opportunity to Stick It To The Man (a green one, I suppose). Our chance to meta-physically push our thumb in the eye of every green weenie who rushes to the first avail-able microphone and hyper-ventilates about the latest study indicating the average
planet temperature has risen three-eighths of a degree Celsius in the past 78 years.
In actuality, much of the engineering efforts of the past 30 years have resulted in the current crop of automo-biles being cleaner and more efficient.
And some of this engineer-ing excellence has originated or been proven on a racetrack.
Fuel consumption by com-petition vehicles is restricted at most racing events.
There are some things that are missing from the current crop of Speed Demons. Very few cars are built today with a standard transmission, a “stick shift” if you will.
Some of the more sophis-ticated drivetrains sport an ersatz standard transmission,
with paddles to sift gears electronically.
This denies many of us old-sters the secret glee of watch-ing the face of a young driver contort when entering a vehicle that features three floor pedals. And yes, we miss the old-time thrill of shifting through the gears of a four-speed transmis-sion, popping the clutch, laying rubber, etc.
Nevertheless, the Ford Mustang announcement is music to some ears.
I’d certainly consider owning or driving one. Or a Camaro, o r a Charger.
The Falcons’ bench proved success-ful in their first victory of the season against Evansville.
Sophomore Noelle Yoder and freshman Jasmine Matthews scored back-to-back three-point shots in the second half that contributed to a 10-0 run for BG, and an overall win, 71-54.
“I’m proud of the team tonight, that they found a way to win their first game,” head coach Curt Miller said.
Yoder set career-highs Sunday
with 14 points and three, three-point field goals.
“There is no question that Noelle Yoder can score. She can really shoot the ball,” Miller said. “She has to continue to earn her minutes at the defensive end and prove that she can guard big wins and physical wings and different types of wing players and I thought even though she gave up a couple three’s tonight to a good shooter, she really worked hard at the defensive end, which gives her more of an opportunity at the offensive … even last year with our really, really talented veteran team, Noelle Yoder can score when
she gets minutes, she can do what she did tonight.”
Junior Chrissy Steffens led the team with 16 points, and then Yoder and Jessica Slagle followed with 10. Both Danielle Havel and Matthews each scored nine.
“We challenged Chrissy Steffen’s as our go to player to step up and start to make plays for us and she did that in the second half and was more aggressive and it was good to see,” Miller said. “So overall a lot to go back to work on when we can ever

It can often be forgotten that col-legiate athletes are also students. What is always forgotten is that they are called student-athletes and not athlete-students for a reason, as they come to school for an education first and play sports second.
The BG women’s tennis team is molded after the student-athlete model, and one of its student-athletes was rewarded for her work both in the classroom and on the court. This past week, Maddy Eccleston earned the Mid-American Conference Scholar Athlete of the Week.
“It’s an honor because it’s a rec-ognition of academics as well as tennis,” Eccleston said. “I was really proud to be honored for both.”
Eccleston is a junior and a co-cap-tain for the women’s tennis team this year. She majors in applied health science and, after her first two years as a Falcon, she holds a 3.92 grade-point average. She has also been named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar Athlete her first two years on campus, as well Academic All-MAC team last year, her first year of being eligible for the honor.
“A lot of it comes from [head coach] Penny [Dean],” Eccleston said. “She pushes us to do well on the court, but she makes sure we are taking care of school first.”
Taking care of school first is exactly what the women’s tennis team is doing. The current roster of seven members has a combined 12 years of college completed, and nine of those years feature mem-bers of the team being named ITA Scholar Athletes.
“Penny is very understanding about school and if you need a prac-tice off because you have too much work, she understands,” Eccleston said. “It is very helpful to have a coach that looks out for our grades and work.”
Dean cannot take all the credit though, as all the members of the team push themselves to make sure they are getting their education first.
“Last year at the start of the season we set a goal to get a team GPA of 3.75,” Eccleston said. “We ended up getting a 3.8, improving our team GPA that was 3.1 [in the 2009-10 school year].”
That jump in GPA was the highest in BG athletics for that year, giv-ing the team something to strive for again this year.
“We help each other out a lot,” Eccleston said. “I have a lot of classes
with Jade [Johnson] and then Katie [Grubb] and Emily [Reuland] have a lot together also, so we pair up to study all the time.”
Trying to find the proper balance between school and sports can be tough for anyone, and Eccleston credits her ability to stay organized and manage her time very well as the reason she has seen such success in the classroom and on the court.
“You really have to think and make good decisions and some sac-rifices,” Eccleston said. “If I know a tournament is coming up and I have two tests the next week, I make sure to study a week ahead of time to make sure I’m prepared.”
This scenario occurred for Eccleston and a few of her team-mates when they traveled to Columbus for the ITA Midwest Regional earlier this month. The team left on Wednesday after-noon, causing them to miss some Wednesday classes and all of their classes on Thursday and Friday.
“I had two exams that following week, but we had to be at the tour-nament all weekend and be ready to play, so there was no real time to study,” Eccleston said. “It was a little tough and stressful, but that is where my time management came in and I made sure I studied as much as I could the week before.”
Eccleston survived the two exams and continued to study and prac-tice before the Green and White Invitational came up on Nov. 4.
“I went into the weekend wanting to play my hardest and take every match one at a time,” Eccleston said. “That is the attitude you need, to focus on the last tournament and not look ahead to winter break.”
Eccleston did all that, as she won all three of her singles matches and all three of her doubles matches with Johnson, giving her two champion-ships at the invitational. She never lost one set in any of her six matches, and it was her play at this tourna-ment and her commitment to the classroom are what won her this

The BG hockey team came into this weekend series against Miami trying to get better results in league play. After the first night, it didn’t look like that was going to happen.
BG came out of the locker room in the first period Friday and matched the physicality of the RedHawks. Both teams had limited chances, but Miami struck with 4:07 left in the period. Blake Coleman scored when he threw a shot from the front of the net. The RedHawks took a 1-0 lead heading into the second period.
In the second period, Miami con-tinued more of the same, adding two more goals. The first goal came from junior Garret Kennedy and the sec-
ond was scored by Curtis McKenzie. The RedHawks were in complete control as they had a 3-0 lead head-ing into the third period.
With 14:33 left in the third period Coleman added his second goal of the game and Miami would hold on to shutout the Falcons 4-0. The last time BG was shut out was back on Nov. 4 when Ferris State beat the Falcons 4-0.
Miami’s senior goaltender Cody Reichard recorded his first shutout of the season in his 23-save per-formance. The loss extended BG’s CCHA losing streak to six games.
The second game of the two game series was a bit different as the Falcons were able to get some pucks past Reichard.
Freshman Ryan Carpenter
stepped up big when his team need-ed him.
The first period started just like the night before as Miami would strike first. Junior Reilly Smith scored from the bottom of the circle and snuck it past BG goalie Andrew Hammond to put the RedHawks up 1-0.
This time however, BG would respond. Mike Fink would score on a power-play when freshman Mike Sullivan shot from the point and Fink redirected the shot into the back of the net. That would end up being an assist for Sullivan and his first collegiate point.
With the first period ending, the RedHawks would strike again. The

Falcons were caught on a line change when Miami fresh-man Austin Czarnik received a long pass and flew behind BG’s defense, wristing one right past Hammond to make it 2-1 heading into the second period.
With such a late score in the first period, Miami had the momentum, but BG didn’t let the RedHawks run away with the game. Just 4:27 into the period, Dan DeSalvo tied the game when he scored on another power-play. The goal was a wrist shot that went top shelf when he was being dragged down by a Miami defender. He some-how got the shot off and past Reichard.
Miami once again responded to the BG goal when senior Alden Hirschfeld scored a power-play goal on a rebound given up by Hammond.
The teams were battling back and forth all night. BG responded again when Bryce Williamson shot the puck on net and then put in his own
rebound shot to score his sixth goal of the season. The game was tied 3-3 going into the third period.
In the opening minutes of the third period, BG’s hopes for a win were diminishing when Tyler Biggs’ wrist shot whizzed by Hammond, giv-ing the RedHawks the lead 4-3.
Just when BG looked like the Falcons gave a valiant effort on the night, but was going to go home swept by Miami, Carpenter delivered.
With just 1:12 left in the game, Carpenter received a pass and put a shot on net that trickled past Reichard, which ended up tying the game at 4-4 and sending the game into overtime.
There was no scoring in the overtime period so it went to a shootout where BG would prevail. Williamson was the only player for both sides to record a shootout goal. Hammond made three great saves on the Miami shooters to secure a shootout win for the Falcons.
Carpenter was outstand-ing, recording three points on the night. He recorded the game-tying goal and two
assists on the night. With those points, he surpassed Cam Wojtala with the team lead in points with 14 on the season. He is also tied with Williamson with the team-high in goals on the season with six.
The game was recorded as a tie, but the CCHA shootout awards one extra point to the Falcons in league play.
The Falcons now have an overall record of 6-6-2 and 1-6-1-1 in the CCHA.
Coach Chris Bergeron wasn’t happy after the team’s performance Friday night, but was happy about how they battled in game two of the weekend series.
“I am extremely proud of the effort,” he said. “We played hard from start to fin-ish, which is what we wanted to do at the very least.”
This win against a CCHA opponent like Miami could give the Falcons some momentum heading forward into the rest of the season.
“I think this game was huge,” Williamson said. “It gives us a little bit of confi-dence and to go nose to nose with one of the best teams in the country.”
award.As the fall season came
to an end with this tourna-ment, Eccleston leads the Falcons with 12 singles wins
and also has a winning per-centage of .857. As far as dou-bles, she boasts a 10-4 record for the fall.
During the fall, she moved her way up the charts in wins in BG women’s tennis history. Through two and a half years, she is 20th in overall and sin-
gles wins, with 108 and 51, respectively. For doubles, she is 18th overall with a total of 57 wins.
“If you stay focused, stay organized, and have great time management, you will be rewarded,” Eccleston said. “Hard work pays off.”

The Falcon swim team fell to Akron last Saturday despite many individual accomplishments.
Senior Vicky Yu contin-ued her dominance in the butterfly events against the Zips. Yu swept all the events for the second time this year. Yu’s impressive feat was not enough to raise the team to a Victory as the Falcons fell 185-109.
Yu’s event card tallied wins in the 200- butterfly, 100- butterfly, and the 400- medley relay. Yu also com-
pleted the 400- individual relay, in which she took fourth.
Yu, however, was not the only Falcon to win races last Friday. Alexis Kain won the 200 breaststroke, finishing just before team-mate Amanda Rom. In the 100 breaststroke Kain and Rom finished second and fourth respectively.
Emily Bennet took first
in the 100- freestyle and finished second in the 50 by only 0.06 seconds. The 50- freestyle also saw team-mates Sarah Reinink and Brittany Szekely finish within one second of the winner.
Alexa Harris had a strong showing finishing sec-ond in both the 100- and 200- backstroke events and joined Bennet, Kain, and Yu on the winning 400- med-ley relay team.
The Falcon’s conclude dual meets until after the TPSC Invitational at Kenyon, Ohio from Dec. 1-3.

get a break in the schedule but it’s a journey this year, it’s a work in progress and we continue to see things that we can learn from and grow with both good and bad.”
Matthews was one point short of a double-double with 10 rebounds.
“It was a much needed win for us to be confident,” Havel said. “It was a tough loss obviously [on Thursday] and I think coach was worried if we were going to bounce back or if we might come out flat against Evansville.”
Evansville struggled to hang on to the ball consid-ering they had 23 turnovers throughout the game.
Miller said the Purple Aces played with a lot of energy in the second half, but they overcame their intensity in the long run.
“We had the intensity I’m looking for in stretches,” Miller said. “We haven’t made a lot of back to back three’s in practice nor in
games and it finally seemed like the lid was off right then and we still shot in the 30 percentiles. We’ve got to figure out how this team is going to get in the 40’s and shoot a better percentage but I was really excited in that stretch.”
Due to the way Evansville decided to guard, it left shots open for the wing play-ers; Miller knew that, and stressed throughout prac-tice and the game that those shots would be open.
“[Coach] stressed that we needed to make open shots and their post players were jamming us, so coach said they’re not going to have much of a head so when you come off you’re going to walk into shots and they weren’t falling against Purdue, and tonight we got to the rim and got the foul line more than we did last game,” Havel said.
Three BG post players combined for 27 rebounds — Matthews, Havel and Allison Papenfuss.
“They did so much more than what a stat sheet can tell you, they defended and
rebounded, they were there for help side a lot,” Miller said.
With the Purple Aces fall-ing to 0-3 and BG advancing to 1-2, the Falcons have to deal with a short turnaround to a road game.
“Now we’ve got a one day prep and got to play better on the road certainly than we did against Dayton and that is a challenge for a young team … this team hasn’t proved that they have played well on the road so that’s our challenge in the next 24 hours,” Miller said.
With their youth, Miller knows there is always going to be challenges and learning opportunities, but it is expected.
“This team wasn’t reward-ed the other night for their hard work and so I was hop-ing to get this win. We didn’t want this home and home series and to be 0-2 against Evansville,” Miller said, “I told our team I feel like we’re going to be a little bit of a Cedar Point experience this year; I wouldn’t mind not having the roller coasters as much as possible.”

The Falcons’ Mid-American Conference Tournament life lasted an hour and 15 minutes.
Facing No. 1 seeded Northern Illinois (27-6, 15-3 MAC) Friday in Geneva, Ohio, BG (19-12, 6-10 MAC) ran into a freight train of an offense of which Lauren Wicinski, MAC Player of the Year, played the role of conductor.
NIU — which finished the season with a MAC-best .284 — hit .434 and Wicinski posted a match-high 19 kills in a 25-12, 25-16, 25-17 win against the Falcons during round one of the tournament.
“We didn’t really chal-lenge them,” said coach Denise Van De Walle. “But I can’t take anything away from Northern because all of their players were on fire.
“We just couldn’t pass. We really never got in sys-tem. I think it was nerves and we looked a little frantic out there at times. They were the better team by far.”
BG had 11 more errors and 17 less kills than NIU, with outside hitter Danielle Tonyan’s 10 being a team-high. While middles Emily Kauth and Kari Galen only combined for nine attempts, they turned them into four kills and just one error to hit .333.
Wicinski, who hit .533 during the match, supple-mented outstanding hitting with three serving aces — the Huskies finished with nine, while BG had three.
The loss marked the end of Van De Walle’s career, falling one win short of her 14th 20-win season as head coach of the Falcons. Van De Walle announced back in April that she would retire after the 2011 season.
In 29 years at the helm, Van De Walle racked up
527 wins and is the all-time winningest coach in MAC History. She led the Falcons to 11 more wins than they compiled last year, putting her in the running for MAC Coach of the Year.
It was also the last match of Kauth and defensive specialist Madison Nitta’s collegiate careers. The two seniors were a part of a 2008 team that went 25-9.
“Kauth was crying, Maddy was crying, I was crying,” Van De Walle said. “It was very emotional … That in itself is a good sign. If you’re not crying after it’s over, sometimes I worry about that because it’s a loss; it should be painful.
“For them it’s not just ‘ok we lost in the tournament,’ it’s, ‘ok my career’s over.’”
NIU would win its semi-finals match against Ball State University before fall-ing to Central Michigan University in the champi-onship game.
