Security in place forClinton visit Brandon Wray The BC News
Local law enforcement offi- cials are working around-the- clock preparing for President Clinton's visit to the home of Scott Hamilton and the National Tractor Pull Championship.
The Bowling Green Police De- partment, in conjunction with the Wood County Sheriff's Depart- ment, University Police and the United States Secret Service are preparing for possibly the biggest event in Bowling Green this year.
The security effort will pull together an armada of vehicles and personnel to keep the area secured, according to Police Chief Galen Ash.
At the Wooster Street railroad crossing there will snow fencing, bike racks, dump trucks, and se- mi- trucks to block off the area, Ash said.
The semi-trucks will posi- tioned to protect the train from being rammed.
Ash said a Presidential visit is almost routine, as the city has played host to former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
"We have done this so many times it really isnt a big deal," Ash said. "The systems change but the basic goal is to provide security."
Ash said that each railroad crossing from West Virginia to Michigan along Clinton's trail Is being checked for security.
Businesses near the crossing will not be closed contrary to ear- lier reports, he said. All the park- ing in the area will be closed but
pedestrian customers will still be able to shop.
There have been reports that parts of Founders Residence Hall may be closed but as of Friday Associate Director for Student Housing Programs Wayne Colvin did not know of any such plans.
Chief Ash said the Secret Ser- vice will have its local headquar- ters in a trailer that is equiped with the latest technology.
"If you walk up to the trailer and look inside the window you'll think it's something right out of 'Star Wars'," Ash said.
The Secret Service and other members of Clinton's entourage maintain a strong presence wherever the train stops said Ash.
"An agent with the black box is never more than a few feet away from the President," Ash said. "The President's personal physi- cian is always with him also."
With recent terrorist bombings at the Olympics and in Oklahoma City more attention is being paid to the possibility of car bombs and other actions.
Each of the expected 10,000 people entering the site will pass through metal detectors. The Se- cret Service will also be sweep- ing the area around the track for bombs. They will use electronic devices on the ground and in- frared detection systems in heli- copters over the area.
National and international press will be covering the event from the train - dubbed the "21st Century Express". Several cars in the train are reserved for the press which travel with him from site to site.

Opinion Page 2 Monday, August 26. 1996
BG aSk U Help! I attended the first meeting of one of my classes and found
that the course content is not what I thought it would be. It satisfies one of my General Education Core requirements, but I really don't like it. Can I take a different General Education Core course instead?
Dear Dissatisfied Darla, Yes, you can. The deadline to drop and add classes is Septem-
ber 3. You can do this by phone, utilizing the STAR-90 system. Or, if you wish to, you can also make schedule changes in person at the Office of Registration and Records. In addition to regular business hours, they will also be open on Saturday, August 31 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 1 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The office will be closed on Labor Day.
There was a $7 Registration Service Fee added to my bill for the Fall Semester. What gives?
Dear Fee-Paying Falcon, This fee replaces several existing fees. The costs for drop/add,
transcript requests, re admission application, graduation application, and guest application are included in the Registration Service Fee. So, if you need to drop and add you won't be charged an additional fee. (Note: This fee does not cover the Late Registration Fee assessed if a student registers after September 3.)
I've heard that I can take some of my General Education Core courses S/U. Is this true? I'd sure like to do that with a course I'm taking this semester.
Dear Satisfactory Sam: Yes, you may choose the S/U grading option for up to 16 credit
hours of coursework at BGSU. This is in addition to the courses graded S/U only. As long as you earn a C or above in the course, you will receive a grade of S and earn the credit hours for the course. A grade of D or F is recorded as U and no credit is earned. Either way, the grade does not affect your grade point average. This option should not be chosen for courses in your major or minor, but can be chosen for General Education Core coursework. The deadline to change the grad- ing option is September 3. You can change grading options through the STAR-90 system or in person at Registration and Records.
I am a commuter student and I haven't received any mail at home from the university since classes began. I heard I might have an on- campus mailbox. Where is it?
Dear Missing Mail Marvin, Most undergraduate students living off-campus are assigned an
on-campus mailbox. An alphabetized list of mailbox assignments can be found in the mailroom located at 208 Moseley Hall. The mailroom is open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
I haven't yet received my validation sticker. Can I still use the Recreation Center and borrow books from the library?
Dear Validation-less Victor, Yes, you can if you bring along a copy of your class schedule and
your BGSU photo ID. By September 17, however, you will need to have your validation sticker. The validation stickers are delivered to the mailboxes in the residence halls and the on-campus mailboxes.
I took a course at a college near home during the summer. How can I have the credit transferred to Bowling Green?
Dear Transient Trina, Contact the college where you took the course and request that
an official transcript be mailed to the Office of Registration and Records at BGSU. In order for a transfer credit to be accepted, you need to have an overall BGSU grade point average of at least 2.00. If BGSU has a course equivalent to the one you took, and you earned a grade of C or better, the course should be accepted.
The equivalency of courses taken elsewhere should be verified at the Office of Registration and Records at BGSU before these courses are taken.

Nakedness a human right I'll never forget the time I was
listening to the radio while driving to school and heard a news brief about a woman who was causing somewhat of a stir in her home- town of New York City.
Like thousands of her fellow New Yorkers, this woman took the subway to and from wcrk every day.
As I'm sure some of you out there know, New York City sum- mers can get pretty damn hot. This was part of the reason why the lady in question chose to ride to work on the subway completely topless.
I think it goes without saying that if this lady was a guy, an issue wouldn't have been made about the fact that she wasn't wearing a shirt. I mean, guys walk around shirtless all the time. No big deal, right?
Well, since this lady was just that (a lady), an ordeal was made out of the situation, and before she knew it, she was accused of being immoral, a criminal, and a slut.
Granted, I wasn't at the scene of the "crime" or anything, but I just don't see why her top- less-ness was made into such an issue.
I mean, the last time I checked, women were allowed to breast feed their children in pub- lic, and that action involves pub-
Aaron Weisbrod
licly disrobing with personal com- fort as a means for justification.
And you would think that the law officials of New York City would have bigger problems on their hands than a topless woman on the public transit system.
But, no. Rather than patrol- ling Central Park for muggers and rapists, the police were called in to "deal with" this lady, simply be- cause she took her shirt off in pub- lic.
Granted, women's breasts are bigger than most (but by no means all) men's breasts, but so what? Why should they be damned to wearing shirts in discomforting hot weather while men are allowed the liberty to de-shirt themselves almost whenever they please? Especially considering the fact that women typically have a higher per- centage of body fat than men.
Come to think of it, why are men and women even forced to wear clothes at all?
Now, don't get me wrong here. I love wearing clothes and
wouldn't walk around in public na- ked for all the tea in China, and there are certainly some people in this world that I wouldn't wanted to see naked under any circum- stances.
But, if someone else wants to walk around "au nalurale," I per- sonally feel that they should have the right to go ahead and do so.
Now I realize that in this ever- so-rational and ever-so-fair society of ours that some people might take offense to the idea of optional nakedness.
After all, there are a lot of perverts out there who might re- ally get off on seeing naked people all over the place, right?
Well, even if this did turn out to be the case, here's a little piece of brain candy for you: Doesn't the fact that nakedness is practically forbidden in our mainstream soci- ety contribute to why nakedness is found so exciting and enticing to so many people?
How much do you want to bet that nakedness wouldn't be con- sidered so sexual if naked people were always within eye-shot?
And then there's this whole concept of nakedness being "im- moral" which we can all thank The Bible for.
Just pick up a copy of The Holy Bible, flip to Genesis, and
read the part about that little Adam and Eve/Tree of Knowledge ow deal, in which Adam and Eve bite into an apple off the Tree of Knowl- edge and realize that they're na- ked.
According to the story, they're so ashamed of their buck-naked selves that they dive into the, bushes and use leaves to cover up. their "private parts."
Gee, you don't think that it's possible that the above-discussed excerpt from a book which has ul- timately become one of the most influential books in the world helped give us the idea that being naked is something to be ashamed of and avoided, do ya?
I guess what it comes down to in my mind is this: If you feel comfortable enough with yourself to walk around without clothes on. you should be able to go ahead and do it. If you prefer to wear clothes in public, then go ahead and do that.
Just don't go around telling other people that they have to dress, or undress, to your own per- sonal preferences.

It's a wonder that we reproduce A recent nostalgic mood got
me to thinking about my life. Actu- ally, I really began thinking about dating and other such frights. Since I've been with my boyfriend for two years now, the awkwardness and frustrations of meeting people (and some individuals posing as people) and going on first dates is now be- coming a bland memory. But...
I've realized that there are a few steadfast rules that apply to encounters with the lovelom's de- sires. Of course, my rules apply to concurrence with those carrying an X and a Y chromosome (males, for those of you who slept through ge- netics). However, I'm sure that there's something here for every- one.
First of all, remember that cutey you've had your eye on for a while now? If you're fortunate enough to fix your gaze upon someone who is actually available, the first battle has been won. After that, things become much like the experience of reading anything written by a lawyer - something very simple said in a bunch of way too complex words and phrases, and understood only by other law- yers. Read the lease on your apart- ment sometime and you'll see what I'm getting at.
Say that you finally get the courage to say something to him. Either that, or you accidentally ran over him with your bike and you're then forced to say something to him. Life is good. Eventually, you may find out that what you wanted (or so you thought) has come true - he's cast his lovin' eyes right back at ya.

Sound good? Let's consider this for a moment. After learning this bit of information, there are certain things that are bound to happen on your next rendezvous. On most days, you feel like you leave for class looking like your su- per-fine self. On this day, though, things will be different.
I digress for a moment. Let's say that there's a certain someone that you regret being so nice to. You know, the geek who sits next to you in econ. He was nice. You were nice back. You left it at that. He didn't. Pretty soon, it's love. His, that is. On the day you find this out, you borrowed your roommate's sweater. (The one that looks way better on you than it ever will on her.) Your hair could not have looked better if you had "just stepped out of a salon." By golly, you even wore lipstick today. And there's your econ friend. Sigh.
But on the other hand ... you just found out that the real object of your affections has eyes "only for you." On this day, the variables will depend on the guy. If he's one that you figured you could get into the palm of your hand all along, you'll be wearing a semi-frumpy sweatshirt and have minor hair problems. If he's one that you're a little surprised about, you probably skipped make-up that morning. If
he's one that you figured you'd never have a snowball's chance in hell with, well...
You're probably emerging from an all-nighter, much as a zom- bie emerges from the grave. You wore your rattiest sweats. Your hair is stuffed under a ball cap. In the worst case, you didn't even shower that morning. Ugh.
What makes this ten times worse is that you probably won't be able to get away Irom the guy. You bump into him everywhere — the Union, the library, and even the obscure places, such as the fro- zen foods aisle at Food Town.
I'm sure many of you recall the "Ow, my nose!" episode of The Brady Bunch. Remember how Marcia broke a date with Greg's friend to accept a date with a much cuter fella? Remember how when Mr. Cute saw Marcia's swollen nose, he broke the date and Marcia had to grovel back to Greg's friend? Well, let's say that your new-found love is not so shallow, and offers you a date, even after seeing you at your caffeine-en- hanced worst. Now is the true test: time alone.
The world of singlehood would be much better if we could skip first dates. First dates come attached with so many pretenses and expectations that they almost become ulcer-inducing.
You'll dig through your entire closet, but dec, J that nothing will look right or be appropriate for the evening's plans. When you finally do start putting things on, you'll no- tice that your jeans don't seem to fit as well as they did yesterday or
that your socks are a shade off from your shirt.
After meeting the challenge of evan getting out the door, things can go in one of two directions: euphoric or repugnant. I once met a very cute guy who seemed very nice. I spent all week half delirious about the fact that we were actu- ally going out on a date. When I went to pick him up on Friday night, he was very stoned. I was very mad. So much for the beginning of something great. I ditched him at Pizza Hut two hours later.
Of course, things may end up going the opposite way. You may hit it off famously and find that he is chivalric without being chauven- istic. You might have such a great time that you totally forget about your earlier nervousness.
However, this has a price, too. Perhaps you sat under the stars, talking face-to-face for sev- eral hours. You call it a night.
You return home, still bask- ing in your post-date glee. You flip on the bathroom light and ...
Remember that tiny blemish that you concealed right before you left? It's now a no-holds-barred zit. How about that wonderful pasta dish you had at dinner? Looks as though it left some sort of spinach- type reminder of itself on one of your front teeth. Egad.
Well, perhaps despite all your early-relationship blunders, you'll go on another date. And then an- other. And then ... Well, let's not get too hopeful here.

Services offered for study habits
Darla Warnock The BG News
Making the transition between studying in high school and studying in college can be diffi- cult, forcing freshmen to explore the areas of assistance provided on campus. According to Joan Morgan, director of academic enhancement, the change in study habits is a big adjustment for freshmen students.
"A lot more responsibility is put on the student," Morgan said. "There is not as frequent feed- back from teachers as in high school."
She said the academic en- hancement department was de- signed to help make the tran- sition easier for students. The department handles the study skills lab, writing lab and the math lab. Within these programs, students are able to sharpen their academic skills with the assis- tance of tutors or mentors in a specific department, according to Morgan.
"Basically, we are here to help the student make the transition from high school to the Universi- ty," Morgan said. "We provide academic support for instruc- tional activities."
Ron Knopf, a Study Skill basic reading specialist, said there are numerous metyods by which they can assist students in their studies.
"We have videotapes, work- shops, resource materials and pamphlets," Knopf said. "Or we can talk over a problem, give in- dividual assistance and gui- dance."
He said the assistance is of- fered to any student who is will- ing to use it. Some programs are designed specifically for partici- pants of the grant-funded student support services. Other pro-
grams are tor students just at- tempting to improve their skills in the basic academic areas.
Knopf said the lab is used by many students, although it is not the most used resource on cam- pus. "The student needs to take the initiative," Knopf said. "It's one of the lesser known places on campus."
He said many students need to become active learners, as well as learn how to manage their time more effectively.
Morgan agreed, explaining that students find they have more free time than expected.
"Time management is a real big thing," Morgan said. "They don't understand the amount of work involved."
The biggest adjustment, ac- cording to Morgan, is the lack of constant feedback from the in- structor. She said most new stu- dents are used to relying on that extra help given by their high school teachers. Once taken away, it is more difficult for them to keep up with their cour- se work.
"There are lots of transitions students go through," Morgan said. "We're helping to keep them on task."
Knopf said once students un- derstand how to manage their time, it becomes easier for them to focus on their coursework.
"High school grads are used to being passive. They're used to getting reminders. In college, that's not necessarily the case," Knopf said. "From my perspec- tive, the best advice I could give freshmen is to learn how to man- age time and stay on top of things."

BGSU police give safety tips Dawn Keller
The BC News
Students should follow the same safety precautions at the University as they follow at home, according to Barbara Wadded, public information offi- cer.
"Just like anywhere in the U.S., we don't recommend anyone walk alone at night here," Wad- dell said. "We recommend everyone be very conscious of their surroundings, regardless of where they are going or who they are."
Waddell explained that a per- petrator of a crime needs three things.
"They need the desire to do the crime, the ability to carry out tne crime and they need the oppor-
tunity," she said. "We can't do anything about the ability or the desire, but we can reduce the op- portunity to become victims of crime."
Waddell said the best way to stay safe is to use your head, make good choices on where you go and what you do, and be safety conscious all the time.
She said if you are in your car, you should lock the car doors.
Waddell said the residence halls will be as safe as students allow them to be.
She said students shouldn't prop outside doors, and when they leave the room, they need to lock their doors.
"Most students view their room on campus as their bed- rooms, and they don't lock their bedroom doors at home," she
said. "They get in the mindset that, "This is my bedroom,' and not 'this is the front door of my house.' Well, this is the front door of their very small apartment."
She said when people are on campus they should treat their belongings as if they were in a metropolitan area.
"You just don't go to a restau- rant and leave your purse in a booth and go off and take care of business and come back and think your purse or coat might be there," she said. "When you're out and about in a city or small town, we take their belongings with us and the same holds true when you're here on campus."
Waddell said if students want to report a crime they can call
campus police at 372-2346 or
come to the police station. If it's an emergency, they can dial 911.
She said students should come whenever they need to. The station is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
"There is not a bad time to come," she said. "[Students] need to call as soon as a problem arises or if they can foresee something happening, call us ahead of time to head off the problem."
Cindy Jones, a University police officer, said the police are there to help make sure every- thing goes smoothly.
"Everybody needs to follow the rules," she said. "I'm frustrated when people get away with breaking the law."

When you have to know Jay Young
The BC News
Need to know how to drop a class? Where to eat tonight? How your favorite team did? Call Fact Line.
Fact Line, 372-2445, is a service provided to stu- dents to answer any questions that go along with living in Bowling Green. With a computer database and a collection of books that include everything from sports to rock and roll history, there are few questions the operators cannot answer.
A new feature Is being added this fall to ease the frustration of getting questions answered. Begin- ning this fall, caller to Campus Fact line will never get a busy signal again. Gardner McLean Jr., asso- ciate director of Public Relations and supervisor of the telephone service, said the campus voice mail service will be used to answer calls as they come in. "Our No. 1 complaint in all of the years we've been doing this is, you can never get through. Everytime you dial the number it's busy," McLean said. "Now when a person calls and the line is busy, he or she will receive a tape recorded messsage saying that the call will be answered in the order it was received. The caller will then be put on hold."
McLean said the change is being made as a re- sult of a recent survey.
"Our student operators talked to callers throughout the spring semester and overwhelm- ingly, they told us that they would prefer to be put on hold knowing that the call would eventually be answered rather than continually redialing the number," McLean said.
Heather Gisewhite, a senior and three-year Fact Line operator, said area residents who want to learn what is occurring on the campus or need some other information frequently call the ser- vice.
During the past year, the operators have done everything from helping the leader of church group get tickets to a music concert to assisting a junior high school student with his math home- work, Gisewhite said.
"I remember one student who called from Ger- many. He asked three questions, had us check with his college office about the status of one of his grades and gave us a message to forward to his girlfriend," Gisewhite said.
"We were happy to do it and the student got eve- rything he needed with just one phone call."

New students coming to the University may be exposed to parties and alcohol as part of their Introduction to college life.
Jeanne Wright, health promo- tions coordinator, said students should be Informed about alcohol before they make any decisions regarding the use of It.
Wright said the Center for Wellness and Prevention, located above the health center, has many materials geared toward college students that describe different Issues including how to help a friend with a drinking problem and the laws regarding alcohol use.
"Many students don't have a lot of Information about alcohol, and their first Impulse is to experi- ence everything about college life,'* she said. "It Is important to reach students earlier so stu- dents can go out and make de- cisions based on information."
Wright also said the Center for

"I do screenings and assess- ments for students who want to explore whether their drinking is affecting them and how," she said."I try to focus on risk reduc- tion and have the students look at the consequences of their ac- tions."
Harris said risk reduction in- volves getting students to handle their use of alcohol so that they don't hurt themselves or others.
Wright said a good publication for students to read is Campus Issues, which has a lot of infor- mation about alcohol and drugs and the laws regarding them that affect students. The magazine can be picked up in most offices around campus.
Harris said that many students may experiment with alcohol once they come to college for different reasons.
"For new students, this is their first taste of freedom and they are looking for boundaries or li- mits," Harris said.
She also said that students should become fully aware of al- cohol use and its consequences, so they perceive problems that could possibly arise.
Wright said that alcohol can in- crease aggressive behavior, which could lead to sexual situa- tions that could have been avoided if not intoxicated.

New vice president looking forward to academic year
Jay Young The BC News
The new vice president for Academic Affairs has spent time during his first months at the University learning about the University and living on the campus.
Charles Middleton was select- ed as the new vice president in January and started in his new role In July. Middleton spent four of his summer weeks living in Founders.
"Although it wasn't full of stu- dents it has a lot of people in it," Middleton said. "It reminded me of my youth"
Middleton has met with all of the deans and some other campus leaders. He said he has been giv- en a warm greeting and is look- ing forward to his new Job.
"Every place I've gone there's been an open reception and we've had really interesting discus- sions," Middleton said. "There are a lot of challenges here. The real trick Is going to be to priori- tize them and deal with them in some kind of systematic way. All I would do is ask people to under- stand that we won't shy away from dealing with all of these op- %
port unit ies that are out there, but we can only do so much at a time."
Joe Cranny, dean of Arts and Sciences, said he is excited to work with Middleton.
"I think he's an excellent addi- tion to the University. I think he will work very well with both President Ribeau and the deans," Cranny said.
Cranny said the fresh perspec-
tive will be good for the aca- demic community.
"You get a new look at things. We don't go on doing things the same way simply because that's the way we've always done them," Cranny said. "You get somebody questioning things you've taken for granted for awhile. I think that's very valua- ble."
Middleton said he plans to have a great deal of contact with stu- dents during his first year.
"My calendar is pretty full, but it has to be that way. You'll see me out and about walking on the campus, because I dont hold all my meetings in McFall," Middle- ton said. "I think it's important to go to where people are rather than always having people come to you."
Before Joining the University administration, Middleton was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Colorado in Bolder. Middleton said he is having to adjust to life in a smaller town.
"I've had to learn that I don't have to allow as much time to get
anywhere," Middleton said. "I always want to be on time and the net result here is that I'm early if I'm not careful."
Middleton said that when he does meet with people he prefers shorter meetings.
"I like shorter meetings, even if it means having more frequent meetings with somebody," Middleton said. "I like regular and predictable schedules, as much as that is possible."
Middleton earned his master's and doctoral degrees in history from Duke University in 1967 and 1969, respectively. He grad- uated magna cum laude from Florida State University with a bachelor's degree in 1965.
Middleton is a specialist in British history with an emphasis on politics and society In eaily 19th century Britain. He is the author of a book, "The Adminis- tration of British Foreign Poli- cy," as well as numerous scholar- ly papers, reviews and entries in reference books.
He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the American Historical Association, the North American Conference on British Studies,
the Southern Conference on British Studies, the Southern Conference on British Studies and the Western Conference on British Studies and other organi- zations.

In an effort to promote campus safety, the Campus Escort Ser- vice will escort students, faculty and staff to, from or around campus.
A student organization, the Campus Escort Service runs from dusk to 6 a.m. Sunday through Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 6 am.
Barbara Waddell, adviser of the student service, said the ser- vice will assist any student when traveling in the evening.
"First of all, it is free," she said. "Second, we escort any- where in the city limits from campus or from any location in the city to campus."
However, Waddell said the Es- cort Service won't take people door to door.
"We won't take you to Kroger, take you to the cleaners, take you to the video store, take you to the laundromat and back home," she said. "We have to be efficient. We can't wait for people to go to the grocery shopping or get videos."
Waddell said the service is de- signed so people don't have to walk alone.
"We would like to say those who would walk alone would be our priority." she said. "We get a call that six people want to go to
Kroger's, yes, we will escort those six. But if we also get a call that a person wants to go to Kroger by themself, what we're looking at is prioritizing those
people who would otherwise walk on their own."
She said the service does feel there is some safety in numbers, however, no person's safety is guaranteed.
"You can have a group of 30 and still be victimized," she said. "A lot of things we know about the perpetrator is they look for vulnerability. They look for an opportunity. They look for people who will give them the least amount of struggle and the least amount of witnesses."
Waddell said the service does have one vehicle that is reserved for distant locations within the city limits.
"It's really interesting when we have severe weather, the call for escorts goes way up and everybody wants a ride," she said. "We tell people we never guarantee a ride, we guarantee an escort."
Waddell said if someone wants to be escorted on campus they can almost always count on a walking escort, and the student should dress for the weather.
Waddell said the service is not only for students.
"This is for students, faculty, staff and anyone who is associ-
ated with them," she said. "For example, if you are a graduate student on campus and your teenager came to campus to bring you dinner because you would be tied up, if you were un- comfortable about sending the student home alone, you could call the Escort Service and we would escort the student home."
Waddell said the organization conducts extensive background checks on each potential em- ployee.
"They go through student em- ployment, we do reference checks and they have to pass a security check," she said. "We send their information to the Bu- reau of Criminal Investigations to do a search on their back- ground 'o make sure they haven't engaged in criminal behavior. If that checks out, they can go through the training process and they can become an escort.
Waddell said the security check must be passed by every- one, whether they are seeking wages or volunteering.
Twenty-two students will start working at the Escort Service on Aug. 27, and more are needed, Waddell said.
Waddell said students can at- tend the job fair Aug. 27 between 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom of the Universi- ty Union to get more information.

Many freshman have high ex- pectations of college life, but when students find out they dont see eye-to-eye with a new room- mate, living away from home can seem like a nightmare.
According to second-year
McDonald West resident adviser Michelle Gerard, trivial differ- ences between roommates can be annoying for everyone involved. She said conflicts can be les- sened. If not resolved, by each roommate talking to one another.
"Keeping the roommates calm is the most important thing," Gerard said. "It's also the most
The following tips hove been suggested through o survey of 100 random BGSU students:
Learn the names of the buildings Explore campus Dont e« all junk food. Dont walk alone at night Forget about your hair, it's too windy to care Have fun with the walking Watch what you drink Dont sleep around. Remember to smile. Do your own thing. Watch out for the puddles Use a heavy umbrella. Get involved Get a parking sticker. Know your limits Dont lose sight of your goals Exercise Study. Stay warm Bring a fan

difficult thing because everyone is so emotional."
Gerard said resident advisers can help to settle disputes in a number of ways. The first step in conflict resolution is for the stu- dents to try to work out the prob- lem between themselves, said Gerard.
If that fails, Gerard said one's RA is there to help. Resident ad- visers can help incompatible roommates decide how to share room time. In this situation, a written agreement, signed by both parties, determines which roommate gets to use the room at which times, Gerard explained.
If the situation gets to this point, students can request a new room within the same hall by contacting the hall director. Stu- dents who prefer to live In an- other hall can contact the Student Housing office to request a change of residence halls.
Jodi Webb, assistant director of administration for the Student Housing office, said she finds most problems usually don't re- quire such a drastic solution.
"You can't change rooms for at least two weeks," Webb said.
"They wont even look at your [request] until then."
Parking and Traffic regulations adjusted
^^^ IT MAKES GOOD CENTS ^P>% T0 D0NATE PLASMA
PLASMA IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!
Dawn Keller The BC News
As the school year begins, ad- justments are being made to Parking and Traffic regulations. Changes will include enforcing some metered lots on the week- end and updates in the shuttle route.
Stacie Enriquez, administra- tive assistant for Parking and Traffic, said the meters behind the Union will be enforced on the weekends. The meters will be en- forced from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekends.
"We are trying to accomodate all the visitors to the Union," En- riqez said. "We are trying to make it accessible for everyone."
Enriquez said the University has designed new exterior signs for parking lots.
"There's going to be a circle on each sign and it will have the lot number or letter and it's color coded with the map," she said.
"The commuter lot will have a red circle and will say commuter parking permit required. The faculty staff will have a green circle with the lot letter in it and it will say faculty staff permit required. If it's metered, it will
be a yellow circle and says meters/visitors. The signs will not have hours."
Enriquez said people have complained over the years that there has been too much wording on the signs.
"We've tried to simplify it. Hopefully they'll stop at the visi- tor's center or here to get park- ing information," she said.
Enriquez said the rest of the parking lot signs will be updated over the next few years. The University replaced 14 of the 44 signs on campus.
Enriquez said everyone needs to be considerate of each other during the move-in dates.
"If you're done unpacking your car, it's imperative that you move to the long-term parking lot," she said.
Enriquez said students need to have their parking decal by Wednesday.
To get the decal, students need their PID number, license plate number and motor vehicle regis- tration, year and make of car, and class schedule and valid stu- dent ID, according to Enriquez.
If students don't want to drive, they can take the shuttle, accord- ing to Jim Beaupre, equipment
maintenance superintendant for the shuttle.
Beaupre said the shuttle is safer and faster.
"These parking lots can be a long way," he said. "From Lot 6 to Mac or Founders can be a long walk."
The buses run 7 am. until 3 am. From 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. a van is used, according to Beaupre.
Beaupre said the shuttle has two routes, a day route and a main route. He said the main route has 16 stops, the day route has 8 stops and the night route has 12 stops.
Beaupre said the increase in hours has been helpful.
"We average about seven or eight calls after 3 am. until 7 am," he said. "That's been work- ing out well. Students who work at McDonald's or Burger King late, we pick them up and take them back to the dorm or vice versa."
Beaupre said the University currently has three shelters to wait in, and is adding another.
"We are putting up a shelter at Ridge and Willard," he said.

Bill asks for safety measures at crossings Dawn Keller
The BC News
Ohio Representative Lynn Wachtmann (R-Napoleon) re- cently introduced a bill to identi- fy dangerous railroad crossings and put safety improvements in place.
Wachtmann said in a press release that the government needs to require the railroads to take safety measures, because more than 770 people have been killed or injured at Ohio cross- ings in the 1990s.
"Every year we add more names to this grim list," Wacht- mann said. "And our failure to require railroads to take safety measures, guarantees this list will continue to grow. There are more than 2,200 railroad cross- ings in Ohio, unguarded by lights or gates, and each of these cross- ings is an accident waiting to happen."
Bill Blair, Bowling Green Pub- lic Works director, said all city crossings will have gates at the conclusion of a current project.
However, Blair said he thinks the bill is a good idea.
"Although lights and gates will not stop a car, they will at least give warning," he said. "Especia- lly at night, out in the country, they will help give a warning."
Lisa Eintalt, legislative aid for Wachtmann, said the bill doesn't yet say how the improvements will be paid for.
"Ohio is the first state to take up these measures to make railroad crossings safer and to hold the railroad industry accountable. With this bill, Ohio becomes a national leader in the railroad safety movement."
Jim Lantry Railwatch
"There are several options that need to be discussed," she said. "But that won't happen for a cou- ple of months, when the legisla- ture is back in session."
Jim Lantry, executive director of Rail Watch, joined local offi- cials and activists for the intro- duction of the bill.
"The introduction of the bill is a historic moment," Lantry said. "Ohio is the first state to take up these measures to make railroad crossings safer and to hold the railroad industry accountable. With this bill, Ohio becomes a national leader in the railroad safety movement."

The Public Utilities Commis- sion of Ohio approved an agree- ment in July to use state funds to assist Conrail with the cost of in- stalling railroad crossing im- provements in Bowling Green.
Lights and gates will be be In- stalled at the crossing on Pike Street, according to Bill Blair, Public Works director in Bowling Green. The crossings at Reed and Derby will be permanently closed after the work is com- pleted at Pike Street, he said.
The Ohio Rail Development
Commission authorized Conrail to begin the process on July 3, 1996, said Susan Kirkland of the commission.
Mike Scime, Conrail communi- ty relations coordinator, said the project is in the hands of the state of Ohio.
"As soon as we get the go ahead from the state of Ohio, we will have 12 months to finish the project," Scime said.
Conrail will be responsible for 20 percent of the costs of the clo- sure of Reed and Darby avenues as well as $68,000. PUCO and the Ohio Department of Transporta- tion will be responsible for the

remaining 80 percent of the clo- sure costs and 100 percent of the Pike Street improvements. However, Blair said there will be no cost for the city.
PUCO Chairman Craig Glazer said the organization is happy to help the citizens of Bowling Green.
"We are pleased to assist the city of Bowling Green in develop- ing safer railroad grade cross- ings for its citizens," Glazer said "This approach to crossing safety allows improvement at several locations in the most ef- ficient manner for the govern- ment agencies and the railroad."
Clinton praises WV education leaders Martha Bryson Hodel The Associated Press
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- - President Clinton on Sunday praised West Virginia's Demo- cratic congressmen and senators for helping to turn back Republi- can attempts to cut education and environmental spending.
"When the Republican Con- gress would have ... cut our in- vestment in education (and) the
environment ... they upheld my veto," Clinton said.
"Thank Jay Rockefeller for standing up for children and health care and the ordinary citi- zens of your state and the United States," Clinton said.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlotte Pritt led the mid-day crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance at the CSX Transpor- tation passenger station in down-
town Huntington. State police es- timated the crowd at about 18,000.
The president left Huntington for Ashland, Ky., where he will begin a campaign trip by train that will take him through parts of Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana before he arrives Wednesday in Chicago.
Pritt and Rockefeller traveled aboard Air Force One with the
Clinton family from Washington, DC, to the Tri-State Airport out- side Huntington. She is sched- uled to address the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later in the week.

Know when to say ^vhen while underage
Joe Boyle The BC News
I
i You're 18-years-old and you ^re away from home for the first time. There's three days until (lasses start and you've got noth- hg to do. i It's Miller time. I Not in Bowling Green, accord- ing to Police Chief Galen Ash and Municipal Court Judge Mark Reddin.
• Ash said this year his depart- ment is putting a special empha- sis on curbing underage drinking in town with the addition of Several more officers to the bi- cycle patrols. i "This weekend and until school Starts we'll be looking for (underage drinkers]," he said. ^They're unchaperoned and without classes. We arrest any- body underage."
Ash said his department main- tains a zero tolerance policy on underage drinking.
Reddin's court backs up most of the arrests, and imposes strict sentences on underage drinkers.
Currently the sentence in- cludes a $200 fine and probation until the defendant turns 21. However, Reddin said, a recent turn of events will change that sentence.
"We talked with Student Legal Services, the city prosecutor and probation officers and have set up a new sentence," he said.
Reddin said the new sentence, although not finalized, will in- clude several new phases that fit the crime a little better.
"We could put the defendant in a deferral program," Reddin said. "They could get rid of the fine and pick up trash for two hours in the mornings. If com-
pleted we could then vacate the charges and end the probation."
Fake I.D.s are another matter entirely, according to Reddin.
"We are very strict on people with fake I.D.s," he said. "The fakes are usually used to gain en- try to an establishment or get al- cohol. We generally give a sus- pended jail sentence, or jail time."
If one wants a guaranteed ticket to the Gray Bar Motel, Reddin said providing fake I.D. is a sure way to confirm your regis- tration.
"Some people mass produce these using University photo and computer labs," Reddin said. "We want to discourage that. We give immediate jail time."
Clinton will campaign on choo-choo president will make stops in Ohio on way to convention
The BG News
; President Clinton got his 1992 campaign under way by touring Ohio on a bus. Four years later, he's doing the same thing -- ex- oept he's using a different mode of transportation. i Clinton traveled by bus through Ohio and several other ■itiiti-s immediately after the 1992 Democratic National Convention in New York City. This week, he is going by train through the state as a prelude to the conven- tion in Chicago, which will nomi- nate him Wednesday night as the Democrat u- candidate for a sec- ond term as president. | The trip will take Clinton through parts of West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio - including fowling Green, Michigan and {ndiana before he arrives Wednesday in Chicago. Videos of the train trip are to be shown on each of the first three nights of
the convention, with Clinton giv- ing his acceptance speech on Thursday.
Clinton was to fly from Wash- ington to Hunlington, W.Va., on Sunday and board the train, which the Clinton campaign has dubbed the "21st Century Ex- press," in Ashland, Ky.
His first Ohio stop was sched- uled Sunday evening at a railroad crossing in Chillicothe. It was to be his second visit to the south- ern Ohio community in three years. He also took part in a town meeting there in 1993.
Clinton then was to head for Columbus, where he planned an overnight stay.
He was to speak Monday morn- ing at the Columbus police train- ing academy, then get back on the train for stops later in the day in the northwestern Ohio com- munities of Arlington, Bowling Green and Toledo. President Bush visited Arlington and Bowl-
ing Green during a 1992 cam- paign trip by train.
After spending Monday night in Toledo, the president planned a Tuesday morning speech at the city's Jeep plant before heading for Michigan.
Tickets are required for public access to Clinton's speeches, though no admission will be charged.
Two of the passenger cars on the Clinton train have histories dating back to past Democratic presidents. One car was used by Franklin Roosevelt for trips to the mineral baths in Warm Springs, Ga., and also carried Jimmy Carter.
Another car carried Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson, who was a U.S. Senate candidate at the time, through Texas during Truman's 1948 whistlestop cam- paign.

Bingo halls call foul on casinos
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND - Although an average of $992,000 is wagered each day at bingo games in Ohio, churches that benefit generally oppose a riverboat casino pro- posal expected on the Nov. S bal- lot. The Plain Dealer reported Sunday.
Bingo operators last year held almost 78,000 game sessions, drawing 11.7 million people who bet a total of $353 million. By law, the money wagered at bingo games benefits religious groups or other charities.
The casino proposal would al- low up to eight riverboats to be moored on waterways: three each in Cleveland and Cincinnati and one each in Youngstown and Lorain.
"We're strongly opposed to it, as we were in 1990," said Tom Smith, director of public policy for the Ohio Council of Churches. The group donated more than $29,000 to the last anti-casino campaign.
Gov. George Voinovich, a de- vout Catholic and an opponent of casino gambling, has said he would like to see bingo games curtailed in Ohio. But he has no plans to push for it because bingo

"Unfortunately, we cant do that at present because of our re- liance on those revenues to sup- port our schools," Dimengo said.
Elizabeth Podolski, 66, of Cleveland, who plays bingo a few times a week, said opponents of casino gambling ought to take a look around in Ohio.
"Let's face it, bingo is gam- bling, the lottery is gambling, horse racing is gambling," she said. "We've already got gam- bling. What's everyone getting excited about? It makes no sense tome."
The newspaper reported that its examination of records Hied with the Ohio attorney general's office shows that the most suc- cessful bingo operations in the state are not run by religious groups. Bingo games that benefit boxing in Cincinnati, animal- rights groups in Lima and sub- stance and alcohol abuse in Cleveland are among the most prosperous.
Bingo has been legal in Ohio since 1975, when voters passed a constitutional amendment spe- cifically allowing bingo games for charitable purposes.

WASHINGTON -- Today's high school seniors have nearly a- chieved the average math score rung up by students In the early 1970s, but verbal scores on the J£„~~ ^j^" Scholastic Assessment Test still remain well below those of 25 years ago.
Yet some critics say the test is not a fair Indicator of how stu- dents, especially women and mi- norities, will do in their first year

Christopher Cross, president of the Council for Basic Educa- tion, a Washington-based organi- zation that advocates rigorous liberal arts education, said stu-
dents are not asked to write enough - not only in English class, but in other classes too.
"Even though the [verbalj score has come back a point, I suspect we will never regain the level we achieved at the high point in 1972," Cross said.
College Board President Don- ald Stewart said he was puzzled about why verbal scores re- mained below 1970s levels. He speculated that students are watching more television, read- ing less and spending less time studying English
This year's test-takers who had taken four years of English had an average verbal score of 512, while those with three years of English scored 40 points lower.
This year's scores are the first to be reported on the SATs -e- centered score scale, designed to raise the average score back to 500 and make the scores more statistically sound. Comparison scores also were converted to the new scale.

Traveling teens suspected in string of robberies
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS - Authorities are investigating whether four Ohioans charged with aggra- vated kidnapping in Montana were involved in burglaries in other states.
The four are all from the John- stown area, which is northeast of Columbus. They traveled through, among other states, Florida, Nevada and Wyoming before reaching Montana, said the prosecutor handling the case.
Jason Tomlinson, 20; Donald Matthew Greenlee, 18; Amanda Jo Myers, 18; and Jessi McClana- han, 17, allegedly led law officers on a 130-mile car chase and took a family hostage last week.
Authorities in Montana and Ohio consider Tomlinson the leader.
"It's going to be a long time be- fore we're finished with him in Montana," Carbon County Attor- ney Tony Kendall said Friday.
The four "were up to a lot of mischief" before they reached Montana, he said without elab- orating.
Authorities were looking into the quartet's possible in- volvement in burglaries in Ohio, Illinois and Wyoming, where $20,000 in cash, weapons and jewelry were stolen from a home.
Police recovered some of the sto- len property from Wyoming in the group's car, including two weapons.
Kendall hadn't decided whether to seek to try McClana- han as an adult.
"Perhaps we could send her back to Ohio if we could be reas- sured she would be taken care of," he said. "I'm trying to figure her degree of culpability."
The other three seem unaware of the seriousness of the aggra- vated kidnapping charge, which carries a maximum sentence of death, Kendall said.
Their problems started Tues- day at a motel in Big Timber, Mont.
A Sweetwater County, Mont., deputy checking license plates discovered that the car the four had arrived in had been reported stolen July 24 by McClanahan's father in Licking County.
They fled through a motel window and led authorities on a chase until they ran out of gas near Fromberg, Mont. Nearby was the mobile home of Albert Graham, his wife and their two teen-age daughters.
Tomlinson and Greenlee, armed with pistols, took the fami- ly hostage, holding the couple for more than seven hours before surrendering, authorities said.
The daughters escaped after 2 1/2 hours. No one was injured.
Tomlinson and Greenlee were being held in the Carbon County jail in Red Lodge, Mont., on $50,000 bond. Myers was re- turned to the women's section of the Yellowstone County jail in Billings, Mont., also under $50,000 bond.
McClanahan was charged Wednesday in Youth Court with being a delinquent youth for committing the offense of aggra- vated kidnapping. She was being held on $50,000 bond at the Yel- lowstone County Youth Services Center in Billings.
The trip to Montana was not the first cross-country jaunt for Tomlinson and Greenlee, accord- ing to court records and Green- lee's father.
In 1994, the two were among six Licking County residents ar- rested in North Charleston, S.C., four days after a Knox County house was burglarized. Tomlin- son was convicted of the burg- lary and sentenced to three to 15 years in prison in 1995. He was granteu probation after serving nine months in prison, court re cords show.
Brother calls for peace The Associated Press
PAINESVILLE, Ohio - Jorge Cabrera, grieving the death of his brother, a victim of apparent gang violence, spoke out at a re- cent church service to call for fceace.
Juan Cabrera, 26, who had been playing basketball, was killed by a shot to the head. Two others were wounded by the haphazard fire of two gunmen, who fled with a third man in a tan pickup truck.
Now immigrants who never before cooperated with police
are giving investigators informa- tion about the three suspects. Those tips have yet to result in arrests. The Plain Dealer report- ed Sunday.
The victim's brother, a nursery foreman, directed his appeal to this Lake County city's Mexican immigrant community, where feuding has reached unpreceden- ted levels.
"We all should live like hu- mans," Nydia Cabrera quoted her husband as telling the hushed crowd at St. Mary Catholic Church on Aug. 18. "We should not act like animals."
Longstanding alliances to war- ring gangs in Mexico are blamed by some for the Aug. 14 shooting death and for gunfights and brawls at weddings, soccer games and playgrounds in Painesville, the newspaper said.
Jorge Cabrera claimed that the gunmen who killed his brother were immigrants with ties to Los Feos, or the Uglies, one of nearly 300 gangs associated with the central Mexican city of Leon.
Attracted by jobs at nurseries and factories, Mexican immi- grants have migrated to Paines- ville for decades.
Indians select winners of available playoff tickets
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND ~ Winning entries for 60,000 available seats for Cleveland Indians playoff tickets were picked Saturday.
Fans sent in nearly 3.4 million postcards by the Friday 5 p.m. deadline hop- ing to win seats to the 11 po- tential post-season games at Jacobs Field.
The team's announce- ment of the mail-in drawing of postcards on Monday led to a avalanche of mail for the U.S. Postal Service.
Many fans mailed stacks of 200 to 500 postcards try- ing to increase their odds of getting a maximum of four tickets for one post-season game.
Picking the winning en- tries wasn't be complicated, Indians spokesman Bob DiBiasio told The Plain Dealer.
"You just waded into the pile, dug deep, went to the top, went to the middle, went to the bottom and just started picking them out as randomly as possible," he said.
Cars were lined up on Friday at the special drop- off area at the main post of- fice where a postal service employee took the post- cards by hand.
People drove in with their postcards from Cincinnati, Columbus, Baltimore and Erie, Pa. A father and son flew in from Chicago to hand-deliver 300 postcards, said Ed Moore, spokesman

for the main post office. Mailed requests came
from as far as California, New York and Florida.
The avalanche of fan support has made the team the envy of the league, Di- Biasio told the newspaper.
"It's absolutely over- whelming," he said. "Again,
it's a testament to the sup- port of our fans, who have continued to show that they are the best in all of sports."
Winners will be notified by mail a week to three days before the games be- gin.

Trucker spews beer into streets
The Associated Press
BELPRE, Ohio - The beer was flowing freely in this Ohio River city that had banned alcohol sales 36 years ago. However, this was no party.
Thousands of cans of Milwaukee's Best spilled from a truck late Thursday, many spewing beer onto a city street. Even more spil- led during the overnight cleanup.
"An end-loader was scooping it up, and beer was squirting all over the guys who were helping clean up," patrol officer J.R. Fields Jr. said. "There's go- ing to be some happy fish wherever that sewer drains into the river."
Authorities said Paul R. Keefover III, 31, of Rivesvi- lle, W.Va., was turning his tractor-trailer onto a bridge linking Belpre and Par- kersburg, W.Va. when the truck started tipping.
The truck came to rest on its right wheels as the trailer and cab landed on a concrete berm. But the trailer broke apart on im- pact, sending almost its en- tire load of 5,000 cans onto the street.
Keefover, a driver for W.S. Thomas Transfer of Morgantown, W.Va, was charged with failure to maintain control.
At one point, as many as 300 spectators ~ a few eat- ing pizza ~ stood by as
crews cleaned up the mess. "There were people here
all night eating pizza and looking for some free beer," Fields said.
However, they went home empty-handed. Fields said nobody tried to run off with any of the still-sealed cans.
The sale of alcoholic beverages has been banned in Belpre since 1960.
One lane of eastbound traffic on the four-lane bridge was closed during the cleanup, which was completed Friday morning.
Crews finished the job by washing down the bridge with water that was trucked in.
One arrest was reported. Police charged Terry Hanes, 30, of Marietta, with drunken driving after he al- legedly almost drove into an officer who was direct- ing traffic on the bridge.

Central forms search committee The Associated Press
WILBERFORCE, Ohio - Central State University's board of trustees has formed a search committee to find a new president.
Trustees said Thursday the committee will work with an outside consultant to com- pile a list of candidates. The committee will include two trustees, two faculty members, two administrators, two students and one alumnus.
Appointing the committee is the first step in finding a successor to interim president Herman Smith Jr. whom the university's new trustees fired after it became known that Central State is about $8 million in debt.
The board formally rescinded the authori- ty of any previous administrator to write checks on the university's bank account. Sole control over expenditures was given to George Ayers and Anna Moore, members of Central State's emergency management team.
"This is one step in trying to draw a line between the old board and regime and the new board and regime," said Frederick Ran- sier, board of t rustees chairman. *
The board also said any profits generated by the university's football team this fall
should go toward the school's debt. Athletic Director Ken Hudson called the move a po- litical gesture.
"They got to satisfy somebody," Hudson said.
Ransier said it was an appropriate action considering the school's indebtedness.
"It's a revenue source and it's the obliga- tion of the board to address those obliga- tions," he said. •
As a representative of Barnes & Noble Col- lege Bookstores was telling the board that Central State owes his company $490,000, the room went dark.
"The fuel bill is first on the list," Ayers deadpanncd.
That bill, apparently, had been paid. Day- ton Power and Light, which provides elec- tricity to the school, said lightning strikes knocked out power to the campus for about IS minutes on Thursday.
The lights came back on as Ayers was tell- ing trustees the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had authorized $250,000 in community development grants for the university.
Central State, 17 miles east of Dayton, is
Ohio's only state-supported, traditionally black school. It owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to vendors and faces expenditures of $71 million to replace and renovate nine dilapidated dormitories which the state closed for safety reasons.
Blanche Mayo, associate vice president, said early registrations for the fall term total 1,115, compared with 1,192 at the same time a year ago.
Enrollment was about 2,500 when the spring term ended.
Samuel Jackson Jr., vice president of stu- dent affairs, said the closure of rundown dorms will leave 531 beds available on cam- pus.
The school has arranged to house some students in two motels in Springfield, one in Xenia and one just outside Xenia, making a total of 1,065 beds available.
Students have returned 722 housing con- tracts for the fall term, compared with 1,256 a year ago, Jackson said.

CINCINNATI - The Universi- ty of Cincinnati hoped to raise eyebrows among design profes- sionals and the public alike when it built its new architecture and art school.
It appears that the university was successful beyond expecta- tions.
"This is not a neutral building," said Jay Chatterjee, dean of UC's College of Design, Architecture. Art and Planning.
"When people see it, they will react to it - positively and nega- tively. To me, either reaction is fine. We wanted a building that would provoke responses."
Less than two months before its official Oct. 11 opening - t where, in keeping with its 21st century imagery, a laser will do the ribbon-cutting - the Aronoff Center for Design and Art is at- tracting worldwide attention.
Perhaps the worst reaction to any new building - particularly one housing an architecture and design school - is that it simply fades into the landscape.
There is no danger of that hap- pening with the Aronoff building.
Architect Peter Eisenman de- scribes its provocative design as an attempt to "disrupt the physi- cal sense of normalcy" through unusual interior angles, bulging, uneven walls and ceilings, and twisting corridors that alternate- ly constrict and expand.
His creation already has won several major national and inter- national awards.
The $35 million building -- nine years in the planning - was the subject of a lengthy, flattering article last month in the New York Times, and also has drawn the attention of major design publications in Spain, France, Britain, Japan, Switzerland and other countries.
"People are saying they see nothing like this happening any- where else," Chatterjee said. "The East and West coasts usually brag about these things. The fact that it's happening in the Midwest and at UC surprises some people. This is cutting edge - maybe even beyond."
Squeezed between two older buildings on a campus corner, the Aronoff also has its detrac- tors who view its design as sim- ply weird or a pompous failure of form over function.
Some argue that its avant- garde design is garishly disson- ant with surrounding campus buildings -- the architectural equivalent of a fingernail scratching a blackboard.
Chatterjee, though, notes that UC is already a mishmash of different architectural styles.
"Is someone going u> say thai, that blends in better than this?" he said, pointing to the nearby
Crosley Tower. In addition, much of the new building is under- ground.
Still, one recent letter to the editor described it as looking "like a beached whale." And several DAAP students seated outside the new building last week described its design as "in- dulgent" and criticized what they perceive as wasted space in which architectural whimsy overcame practical considera- tions.
"Don't get me started on that building," one student said, war- ily eyeing its muted pink, green and blue stucco exterior. "It has these beautiful, wide-open atriums and then these little cavelike classrooms. No matter how cutting edge it is, it still has to be used."
Chatterjee, far from being dis- turbed by *uch com mans, views them as evidence of the bull- ding's ultimate success.

Universities 'wine and dine' freshman College Press Service
CHICAGO -- They wine you, they dine you.
They take you to the top of a Rocky Mountain peak at mid- night. They gather you around a quad of ivy-covered buildings for a candle-lighting ceremony. They send you off with disposa- ble cameras to take photos around the city with your new classmates.
After all, you're a freshman. And some universities will do
just about anything during orien- tation to make sure first-year students form a bond with their institution - especially in the face of national statistics that say more and more students are
dropping out or transferring after their freshman year.
According to a recent report from the American College Test- ing program, the number of stu- dents who leave after freshman year is 26.9 percent, an increase of about 2.5 percent over the rate first reported in 1983.
That means if this year's freshman class size is 500, a col- lege can expect about 135 stu- dents to drop out or transfer be- fore sophomore year. If the class size is 2,000, on average 538 freshman will not be on campus the following year. For a class size of 5,000, about 1,345 students will not return.
Education experts blame the increase on an improving econ-
omy, which tempts some stu- dents away from academia and into the work world.
Also to blame, experts say, are rising tuition costs, especially at private schools, where a four- year stay can total more than an entire showroom of Ford Ex- plorers. And as always, there's the loss of students due tn home- sickness or academic troubles.
So for many schools, freshman orientation, whether it occurs during the summer or before classes start, is the perfect time for officials to pitch the universi- ty's strengths and prompt stu- dents to bond with new friends and a new home.
"Any freshman orientation you can do that blows them away...Is
absolutely necessary," said Diana McNab, director of well- ness at the University of Denver. "I honestly think these orienta- tions are probably the biggest impact we can have. We got to get them right away."
The first weekend at DU. all 600 freshman head to a resort in the Rockies, where they join fac- ulty for a few days of square- dancing, crafts and story-telling around the bonfire. Then there's the bonding experience of scaling a mountain peak at mid- night.
"It's just a great icebreaker," said McNab. "You can't not have a good time, hiking up the moun- tain with a glowstick...laughing your ass off as you go up."
The special attention to fresh- man seems to be paying off at DU: the attrition rate is 10 per- cent - far less than the national average.
DU's "Pioneers in the Rockies" program is more than 30 years old. But more schools now are choosing to "bond" first-year students by sending them off on a camping, canoeing, kayaking or backpacking adventure before classes start.
Dartmouth College has a four- day Outing Club trip that ends at the school's Ravine Lodge, where students can enjoy singing and contra-dancing in the New Hampshire wilderness. Marlboro College freshman hike into the Vermont woods. Students at
Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., have "Scrambles," in which they head to yellowstone National park for a backpacking trip.
For some students, the adven- ture is closer to campus. At St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., all 500 freshman gather around the main quad at night to light candles.
"The Quad Experience [is] a way to make the freshman class feel as if they all were part of an adventure together," explained Lisa Can ia, director of university relations, "that they can count on one another, that they would have experiences that would bind them together."

Lonely Democrats fine being in Dole's hometown
The Associated Press
RUSSELL, Kan. - In Bob Dole's hometown, a lonely few cal' President Clinton the better candidate. Like Oakland Raiders fans who live in Kansas City, they take some ribbing for their loyalties - and at times, must hide their enthusiasm.
"It's tough being in the home of the dragon when you're a Demo- crat," says Jerry Driscoll, an at- torney and chairman of the Rus- sell County Democratic Commit- tee.
Stepping out of his downtown office, Driscoll pointed to the large building that houses the Republican Party headquarters, the nerve center of Dole's cam- paign in this prairie town.
"We don't have a big headquar- ters like they have," Driscoll Joked. "We have a phone booth."
Around him, storefront windows are crowded with red and blue Dole signs. Motel bill- boards display slogans like "You Got it Licked, Dole 96." The Chamber of Commerce sign

Welcome Back BGSU Students!!
reads, "Clinton may have Hope, but Bob Dole has Russell."
In all, Russell County has about 2,800 Republicans and 1,200 Democrats. Many of the Demo- crats aren't strongly committed, though, and often vote across party lines, Driscoll said.
Nancy Lane is one Democrat who plans to keep the party line, and vote for Clinton in Novem- ber's presidential election.
Lane, who teaches government at Russell High School, said she's disappointed in Dole partly be- cause he "flip-flopped" on sup- ply-side economics. A critic of the economic theory most of his career, Dole has embraced it dur- ing his campaign.
Despite such sentiments, Lane said her fellow townsfolk have never given her trouble for vot- ing against the hometown hero's party. But her political ties have earned her some notoriety with the media.
"I usually get lots of calls be- cause I'm the resident Demo- crat," she said.
Pain Lightfoot is a Democrat, too. But she plans to vote for Dole.
On the night Dole made his ac- ceptance speech at the Republi- can National Convention, Light- foot sat on a bar stool at a Vet-
erans of Foreign Wars hall, sur- rounded by GOP followers who had gathered to listen.
A former Republican, Light- foot worked for Dole's Washing- ton office as a clerical aide in 1977, and she still carries the or- ange ID card that once granted her access to Senate offices.
She "evolved" into a Democrat because the party better repre- sented "low-income" people like herself, she said. In 1992, she voted for Clinton.
But on Nov. 5, Lightfoot plans to pull the lever for Dole. She calls him one of the nation's most honest politicians.
"He might not get the job done," she said, "but he'll try to do it. He'll try."
And Lightfoot has another im- portant reason: People from small towns need to support each other. "I'm a Russellite first and a Democrat second," she said.
Yet, her Democratic allegian- ces still often appear.
When Dole visited Russell re- cently to announce Jack Kemp would be his running mate, Lightfoot tried unsuccessfully to find a Clinton sign to put in her yard so Democrats would show up on the television networks that invaded the town.

The scrimmage, to played just as a regulation game, begins at 5 p.m. at Mickey Cochrane Field located between the Ice Arena and Perry Stadium on the east side of campus. Admission is free.
"I hope we can get a lot of stu- dents out to support us," soccer coach Mel Mahler said last week, "A big crowd would be great."
The soccer team returns the bulk of players from its MAC Championship and NCAA Quali- fier team of a year ago. The team opens its regular season Saturday against Memphis at 2 p.m.
Spirit Rally will be Tuesday night
A spirit rally featuring the fall Falcon sports teams will be held Tuesday night at 9 p.m. in the field behind Anderson Arena ad- jacent to Olscamp Hall.

Club sports coverage plans announced
Coverage of Bowling Green club sports will continue this se- mester the same as it has been in the past: the individual club sports will be responsible for providing results and/or stories.
Each sport may submit whatever they wish, from just a few paragraphs of summary to a full-fledged story. Realize, however, that The BG News reserves the right to edit any- thing submitted for publication, and that anything submitted more than a week after the origi- nal event in question will not be considered for publication.
Any and all photographs of the sport in question are also encour- aged for submission, and will be considered as space allows.
Any questions can be directed to the sports desk at 372-2602.

Hello, freshmen. Welcome to the sports section of The
BG News, your complete source for ath- letic coverage in Bowling Green and the University.
Granted, this edition of your campus newspaper is geared toward freshmen and getting them acquainted with their new surroundings. But the information stored within is valuable to everybody and anybody.
And in this sports section, the first of what myself and the rest of the sports staff here in West Hall hope will be a great semester, you will find all the in- formation you need to be involved with athletics here at BGSU, whether you're a fan or a participant or both.
We've got schedules for all the fall sports. We've got a campus map high- lighting athletic venues, so you know where to go to check everything out. We've got capsule previews for every varsity sport, from fall through spring. We've also got all the information you need to become a part of a club or intra- mural sport, the "average Joe's" ticket to athletics here at BGSU.
That's not all. Our annual NFL preview is stored within, with today's edition fo- cusing on the AFC. The NFC teams will be featured Wednesday in our first daily edition.
This is the start of a prosperous new semester for The BG News and this sports section. We are redefining the way
Welcome Scott Brown, sports editor
we do things, particularly here in sports. You will find that we will cover Falcon athletics unlike any other media outlet in the area. Starting Saturday, when our de- fending MAC champion soccer team be- gins a promising season at home against Memphis and the football team takes on Alabama in Birmingham in a historic matchup, The BG News will be there to provide you with coverage unparalleled in this area.
But that's not all. This year we are expanding our horizons with an eye on our vast intramural and club sports teams. With intramural participation nearly 10 times that of varsity athletics here at the University, we feel that it is a natural for us to encompass them in our coverage scope. More information on in- tramural and club sports appears on the back page of this section.
It is an exciting time for all of us here. We'd like to hear some feedback, too; call the Sports Desk at 372-2602 and tell us what you think. After all, this is the stu- dents' newspaper.
Here's looking forward to a great se- mester in the classroom and on the play- ing field.
Counting down The fall sports season begins In full Saturday when
the Falcon football team travels to Alabama to take on the Crimson Tide. Pictured (clockwise from top) are BG linemen Steve Sheets (72) and J.P. Mershon battling in practice, defensive coordinator Paul Ferraro shouting commands to one of his linebackers, and reserve quar- terback Mark Molk (11) taking drills under center. Cap- sule previews on every Falcon varsity sport appear be- ginning on page 19 of this section. Expanded previews on fall sports will be featured In Wednesday's news- paper.

Three Falcon teams to defend titles Three Falcon sports teams will be looking
to defend Mid-American Conference titles as the fall season opens up.
The SOCCER team capped one of the most successful seasons in school history in 1995 with a Mid-American Conference champion- ship and then a berth In the NCAA Tourna- ment. The Falcons lost 2-0 to Wisconsin, the eventual NCAA champion.
All but one starter returns to the fray, making BG the odds-on favorite to repeat the MAC title. The Falcons have an excellent opportunity in 1996, as well, as they host the annual MAC tournament and could concei-

vably host an NCAA game. "We certainly hope that we can continue
that kind of success," said Falcon coach Mel Mahler. "We are very confident with this group."
As far as CROSS COUNTRY goes, both the men and the women won MAC titles a year ago. Things wont be so easy this time around, however, as each team lost several key performers.
It's tough to figure out the Falcon FOOT-
BALL team. Last year's squad, expected by most to walk away with a MAC title, limped to a 5-6 finish. It was an ugly performance all the way around, but some strong returnees on defense help fuel optimism for the "96 campaign.
As far as the other sports go, the VOL- LEYBALL team rtnished fourth in the MAC last year and has every intention of heading for the top spot this season. The GOLF teams are oi the way to developing into a con- sistently successful program, while the TENNIS teams hope to continue an upward spiral.
Intramural and club athletics available
Scott Brown The BC News
O.K., so maybe you aren't var- sity material. Perhaps an intra- mural or club sport is for you.
Athletic opportunities at Bowl- ing Green State University are not limited to varsity sports. A total of 19 sports clubs and 24 in- tramural sports offer students a chance at being athleticly active in a competitive setting.
Activities are open to virtually anyone on campus, from students to faculty. And everyone is en- couraged to check it out, accord- ing to intramural/sports club co- ordinator Thad Long.
"We encourage students as much as possible to get involved, and intramurals and/or club sports provide an excellent op- portunity for that," Long said.
■ How do I sign up for Intramu- rals and/or club sports? ■ What are the Individual sports offered In each? ■ When do these sports begin and what are the deadlines for sign- up?
answers on back page
The intramural program has prospered of late, expanding to its current slate of 24 sports. Many sports, too, are offered several different tunes in var- ious formats throughout the aca- demic year.
Last year, "a decent year for us" according to Long, the intra- mural office had approximately 4,200 students fill 10,000 availa- ble slots.
"It's really a lot of fun," said junior computer science major Mark Meyer, a member of several intramural teams over the past two years, "It allows you to get out and be competitive and athletic, but at the same time It really builds comraderie be- tween you and the other players. It's something I would recom- mend to anyone on campus.
"I consider it an important part of college life."
Sports clubs are also coordi- nated through Long's office. The club teams traditionally form a bridge between the intramurals and the varsity sports in that they are separate from each, but carry characteristics of each, as well.
Club teams are essentially self- supporting. They elect their own officers and schedule their own games. Most teams practice 2-4 times per week and play home games in addition to away games against other schools across the nation.
"If there is an interest on cam- pus, we try to accomedate it," Long said. "We do have guide- lines; there has to be a finite peo- ple interested or else we cant put it together. We have to have at least 10 students Interested be- fore we can provide a service.
"Club sports do take things to a different level on the students' perspective," he continued. "The students basically set up their own schedules and run things themselves. It is really a good experience for everybody In- volved."

So you're a sports fanatic who is looking for something to do with all that extra time, and build your resume at the same time. Perhaps WBGU Radio Sports is for you.
WBGU Radio is an entirely student-run operation which broadcasts on FM frequency 88.1. It is available to the entire BGSU community.
This year, the sports division of the station will broadcast over
60 Falcon athletic contests live, as well as On the Line, its popular all-sports talk show.
The operation is open to "peo- ple of all majors, all genders, all sizes," according to Dave DeNa- tale, WBGU Sports Director.
"It's open to anyone who likes sports or is interested in broad- casting," said Assistant Sports Director Mike Lindeman.
This year, students can tune in to all ten BG football games, 25 men's and women's basketball games, 25 hockey games, and a few baseball and soccer games.

"There's really a teamwork type of atmosphere here," DeNa- tale said.
"It's a lot of fun," Lindeman added.
According to DeNatale, the whole operation is almost exclu- sively reliant on the students. The staff raises most of the money necessary to broadcast sporting events and fund prizes for the talk show.
Prospective members would participate in any number of the variety of tasks that go into pro- ducing a live radio broadcast. In addition to having two people calling the action on the air, a typical football broadcast also necessitates a sideline reporter, a statistician, an in-studio pro- ducer and two hosts for the pre- game and half time shows.
That also does not include spots available during "On The Line." That show, with its dis-
tinct sports call-in flair, airs Sat- urday afternoons after all BG' football games in the fall and then again in the spring between basketball and hockey games.
"We've gotten a pretty good. response to the talk show,": Sports Director DeNatale said.
This year, WBGU is working- on networking with WFAL, the campus' other FM station.
"I'm very excited about it," DeNatale said. "This way, if' men's and women's basketball games are happening at the same time, we can air them both."
Any interested students can! get involved with this exciting operation by appearing at any of the staff's weekly meetings. Meetings are held Tuesdays at 9 p.m. in West Hall, room 203. The first meeting will re held Sep- tember 3. Students can also call the WBGU Sports office at 372-6001.

Bengals wave Jones on way to final roster
Joe Kay The Associated Press
CINCINNATI - Comerback Rod Jones, a mainstay of the Cincinnati Bengals' secondary for the past six years, was released Sunday as the team reached the 53- man roster lim- it
The Bengals also waived third-year offensive lineman Trent Pollard, third-year quarterback Jay Fiedler, sec- ond-year linebacker Randy Neal and second-year running back Anthony Dalgle.
Running back Deland McCullough and linebacker Brett Wallerstedt were placed on injured reserve. McCul- lough, a rookie who led the team in rushing in preseason, tore knee ligaments Friday night in a 24-17 loss to Detroit. Wallerstedt, a backup line- backer, broke his foot in the same game.
The moves gave running back Garrison Hearst a sense that he will be around for a while. The Bengals claimed Hearst off waivers Wednes- day from the Arizona Car- dinals, but there was specula- tion he would be gone in a few days.
Hearst, who makes $2.1 mil- lion this year, is being kept as a backup to Ki-Jana Carter. The Bengals would like to renegotiate his salary, but Hearst has not agreed to do so, driving the speculation that he would be released or traded.
"I figure I am going to be here now," Hearst said. "I've made it this far. Anything that happens after this will be a surprise to me.
"It's hard thinking about what's going on. I cant control what they do. Sometimes I sit and think, 'What situation am I going to be thrown into or
what's going to happen later on in the season or later in the week?'"
Jones, 32, was entering the final year of a four-year con- tract that averaged $756,000. He became expendable when the Bengals signed free agents Ashley Ambrose and Jimmy Spencer in the offseason to improve what was the worst pass defense In franchise his- tory.
Jones was Tampa Bay's first-round draft pick out of Southern Methodist in 1986 and started all 16 games as a rookie. He was traded to the Bengals Sept. 1, 1990 for de- fensive end Jim Skow and started six games on Cincinna- ti's last playoff team.
Jones played in four games before breaking his arm in 1991, when the Bengals gave up a franchise-worst 3,990 passing yards. He developed into a regular, starting 37 con- secutive games before a pulled groin and dislocated thumb sidelined him midway through last season, when the defense gave up a franchise- record 4^45 passing yards.
Jones took much of the heat for the bad pass defenses of the 1990s. He was one of the fastest players on the team and would stick with his receiver, but would give up completions. He intercepted only four passes in 81 games with Cincinnati, including 61 starts.
"The fact is, I've been living with this bad press for I dont know how long. But the thing is, I've been starting for I don't know how long," Jones said. "If anybody reads all the negative things in the press and doesn't see that person still was able to start all those years, there's something wrong with that picture.

CLEVELAND - Albert Belle did exactly what Milwaukee Brewers manager Phil Garner dared him to do.
With the Brewers clinging to a one-run lead over the Cleveland Indians in the seventh inning on Sunday, Garner chose to walk Jim Thome Intentionally to load the bases for Belle. Milwaukee also employed its "Albert Belle Shift," putting second baseman Fernando Vina almost behind the bag.
Belle beat them both. On his 30th birthday, Belle put
the Indians ahead with a two-run single as Cleveland came back from a four-run deficit to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5.
Though Cleveland manager Mike Hargrove could understand Garner's logic, he admitted that loading the bases for Belle, the major league RBI leader with 122. was a first.
"I don't ever remember anyone walking anybody to get to Albert Belle," Hargrove said.
When Garner explained, it made sense. For one thing, Thome batted .400 (12-for-30) on the homestand and brought a streak of four homers in seven games into Sunday's game.
"I walked Thome for a very good reason," Garner said. "He is swinging the bat well. I have a lot of respect for Belle, but Thome is real hot.
"If we pitch to Thome, we give them two shots at going ahead with two great hitters. We elim- inated one great hitter and had one to go."
Thome was just happy to be part of the rally.
"There wasn't much to think," Thome said. "I Just went down to first base and thought, 'Well, this is a good situation we've got.'"
Belle, of course, had nothing to say about getting the go-ahead hit. There were no signs of a birthday party for the Indians' slugger, although someone played a remixed version of the "Fat Albert" theme on the club-
house stereo. Hargrove jokingly confirmed
that Belle received at least one present
"I gave him a kiss," Hargrove said.
The five-run rally in the sev- enth helped the Indians avoid getting swept by Milwaukee in Cleveland for the first time since 1980. The Brewers won the first two games of the series in extra innings.
After Doug Jones relieved. Be- lle hit the first pitch through a huge hole between first and sec- ond, where Vina would have been playing If the shift had not been on.
Paul Shuey (4-2) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the victory. Jose Mesa pitched the ninth for his 31st save.
Angel Miranda (7-6) ended a Cleveland rally by getting the last out of the sixth, but allowed three straight hits to start the seventh.
Trailing 5-1, Cleveland began its comeback in the sixth on a two-run double by Jeromy Bur- nitz. They made it 5-4 in the sev- enth on Kenny Lofton's RBI single.
After Belle's single gave the Indians a 6-5 lead, they added two more on a single by Sandy Alo- mar and an error by right fielder Dave Nilsson that allowed Belle to score.
Jeff D'Amico started for Mil- waukee and gave up three runs on six hits In S 2-3 innings. Jack McDowell allowed four earned runs in six innings in his fourth start since coming off the disa- bled list.
"My arm's been fine since I came off the disabled list - be- lieve it or not," McDowell quip- ped. "I've just been getting knocked around. It happens. It's the big leagues."
The Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the second on a two-run homer by Kevin Seltzer, his 12th. They added an unearned run in the third when Mark Loretta singled, stole second, advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on a
passed ball by Alomar.
The Indians made it 3-1 in the third. Lofton doubled, .stole his major league leading 61st base and scored on the play when the ball got away for a wild pitch
Jose Valentin's two-run double made it 5-1.
Notes: Omar Vizquel caught two straight popups in the second inning with his back to home plate. The Gold Glove shortstop spun around with the ball in the air to avoid the sun.... D'Amico is the youngest pitcher in the majors at 20 years, seven months and 21 days. He also is one of the tallest at 6-foot-7. ... Gerald Wil- liams is 0-for-9 since the Brewers

Mickelson claims World Series of Golf Rusty Miller
The Associated Press
AKRON -- Phil Mickelson re- grouped after big trouble on the back nine to pick up birdies on 16 and 17 and won the World Series of Golf on Sunday, his fourth vic- tory of the year.
Mickelson started the day with a three-shot lead and ended up
winning by that same margin. But he frittered away his lead with bogeys at 8,12 and 13 to fall into a tie with Billy Mayfair and Duffy Waldorf. He hit into the heavy rough at Firestone Coun- try Club at 11,12 and 13 and had to scramble.
He made superlative saves for pars at 11 and 14 - escaping fur- ther damage by punching onto

Tied with Mayfair - a close friend and fellow Arizona State golfer -- at the 625-yard "mon- ster" 16th hole, Mickelson lofted a wedge within two feet and hit the birdie putt to take the lead for good.
Mickelson then clinched the $378,000 first-place check and a 10-year tour exemption by roll- ing in a 6-foot birdie putt at 17.
The 26-year-old left-hander's closing round of par 70 left him at 6-under 274.
The victory vaulted his earn- ings to $1,574,799 - the second- highest total in tour history - in 19 tournaments. He is just $80,160 behind Greg Norman's year-old tour record.

Enis leads way to Penn State win in Classic Sensational sophomore runs for 241 yards, three TD's
Richard Rosenblatt The Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Curtis Enis cant hide anymore.
The sensational sophomore ran for 241 yards and scored three touchdowns Sunday as No. 11 Penn State cruised to a 24-7 victory over No. 7 South- ern California in the Kickoff Classic.
Enis, a 6-foot-l, 231-pounder who was rarely allowed to be interviewed last season, daz- zled a Kickoff Classic-record crowd of 77,716 at Giants Sta- dium with scoring runs of 24, nine and four yards.
His 24-yarder, with 1:57 left in the first half, displayed Enis" power and speed. He ran di- rectly into safety Rashard Cook at the 15-yard-line, boun- ced off and sped into the end zone to give the Nittany Lions a 10-0 lead.
Penn State dominated so completely in the second half that coach John Robinson's team barely averted a shutout, scoring with 29 seconds left when linebacker Chris Clai- borne recovered a fumble by tailback Chafie Fields in the end zone.
After a scoreless third quar- ter, Enis, who coach Joe Pa- terno said still has to work on
his game, ran 57 yards to the USC 27 to set up his 9-yard score with 13:22 left. Just 1:40 later, after Kim Herring inter- cepted a pass by Brad Otton, Enis was at it again, scoring from four yards out.
Enis, who had 27 carries, produced the fourth-highest rushing total in Penn State his- tory and the most by a sopho- more. Only Curt Warner, with 256 yards against Syracuse in 1981, Shorty Miller (250 vs. Carnegie Tech in 1912) and Bob Pollard (243 vs. Rutgers in 1951), ran for more.
His total was also the most ever allowed by Southern Cali- fornia. Russell White of Cali- fornia ran for 229 yards against USC in 1991.
Otton, USC's Rose Bowl hero against Northwestern, had a poor day, completing just 11 of 28 passes for 144 yards and an interception. Penn State's Wa- Uy Richardson was 10-of-18 for 102 yards and two first-half interceptions. He was replaced late in the third quarter by Mike McQueary.
Enis, who was moved from linebacker early last season, had 136 yards on 16 carries in the first half, nearly breaking the Kickoff Classic game re- cord of 140 yards by Alonzo Highsmith of Miami against

Auburn in 1984. As a freshamn, Enis had a team-best 683 yards with three 100-yard games.
After a scoreless first quar- ter, one in which Richardson threw interceptions on both Penn State drives, the Nittany Lions finally broke through for a 3-0 lead.
And it came on a USC turno- ver. Darrell Kama's punt was fair caught by USC at the 12-yard line. On the next play, Otton fumbled the snap and de- fensive end Chris Snyder re- covered at the 12. Richardson
almost was intercepted again, but USC's Sammy Knight and Brian Kelly both bobbled the ball and it fell incomplete near the goal line.
Two plays later, Brett Con- way kicked a 28-yard field goal with 7:12 left in the half.
USC blew a scoring chance when it took over. Otton, who earlier in the quarter overth- rew two passes to wide-open receivers on their way into the end zone, hit Chris Miller with a 60-yard pass to the Penn State 21. The Trojans moved to
the 8, but Adam Abrams was wide right with a 26-yard field goal attempt.
Enis took over with 3:51 left in the half. He ran left for 11 yards, shedding tacklers along the way. Then, he ran 13 yards up the middle, carrying USC players with him until Knight finally made the tackle at the 50.
After Richardson hooked up with Joe Nastasi for 21 yards to the USC 24, Enis took a han- doff, ran into Cook and broke loose for his first TD.
U.S. Open begins today
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Battered by a near boycott and a walkout by one of its seeded players, the U.S. Open gets under way Monday.
The final Grand Slam tourna- ment of the year won't include Yevgeny Kafelnikov, the No. 7 seed and French Open champion who withdrew on Saturday, protesting the way the U.S. Ten- nis Association arranged the Held.
Tournament officials ignored rankings in seeding the players, causing a major controversy that led to an unprecedented re- drawing of the field. It didn't pa- cify Kafelnikov, who left any- way.
He wasn't the only one com- plaining.
In a show of force, many of the seeded players gathered Sunday to say they would insist that the next Slam event, the Australian Open, adhere to the rankings.
"The procedure used to re- make the men's field was inap- propriate and unfair and brought questions about motive," said Mark Miles, chief executive offi- cer of the ATP.
"It is a matter of principle," said Todd Martin, president of the ATP Tour Players Council. "It goes to objectivity and professionalism. To subjectively change the rankings tarnished the image and reputation of this tournament."
The outrage developed when the Open seeds were not an- nounced until after the draw, a reversal of usual policy, creating the perception that it was de- signed to favor American players.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who went to the Super Bowl after winning the AFC Central by four games, played their own game of free-agent parity during the off- season.
The Steelers saw quarterback Neil O'Donnell sign with the New York Jets, the worst team in the NFL last season; top lineman Leon Searcy depart for the sec- ond-worst team, Jacksonville; and veteran sackmaster Kevin Greene take off for the other ex- pansion team, Carolina
Suitable replacements are there for Searcy and Greene, however, but the uncertainty at quarterback could leave the Steelers in a close race for first place.
Jim Miller won a three-man competition with Mike Tomczak and Kordcll Stewart, who is de- termined to end his "Slash" repu- tation as a multi-position threat, for O'Donnell's spot. Miller has an emerging star to throw to in Yancy Thigpen, whose 85 catches in 1995 set a team record.
Bam Morris was released after his marijuana conviction this summer, leaving the running game to scatback Erric Pegram and Jerome Bettis, looking to re- juvenate his fading career at age 24. Will Wolford replaces the de- parted Searcy in the line.
Defensively, the Steelers are well-stocked at linebacker de- spite the loss of Greene, who had 35 sacks in three seasons, but was slowing down at age 34. Greg Lloyd leads the group, ably sup-
ported by Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland, Jason Glldon and Jerry Olsavsky.
Rod Woodson, voted one of the best comerbacks in NFL history, returns after missing all but one regular-season game with a knee injury. During training camp, he even practiced at wide receiver.
"Slash" Stewart, meet "Slash*' Woodson.
Cincinnati adds last year's in- jured rookie, Ki-Jana Carter, to an offense that sparkled through the air behind Jeff Blake, but was 24th in the NFL on the ground. Carter, the top pick in the 1995 draft, was selected to correct that imbalance and gets the chance a year late.
The Bengals, dead last in total defense and 29th in pass defense, did not draft a defensive player until the fourth round, but did address the secondary problems by signing Ashley Ambrose from Indianapolis, Jimmy Spencer from New Orleans and Bo Or- lando from San Diego.

Look out, NFL: Bills are back as Super Bowl favorites The Associated Press
Here's a scary thought for AFC fans hoping that 12-year Super Bowl drought might end next January: the Buffalo Bills are the best team in the conference.
The Bills, who contributed so mightily to that losing streak with four straight super flops, are likely to be back for another
try. Just as Ukely, it will be a final try with the present group.
That group includes three players -- Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas - almost certainly headed to the Hall of Fame. It also includes veterans Andre Reed and Kent Hull, main- stays of the 1990-93 AFC champs.
What sets these Bills apart from the rest of a jumbled con-
ference are recent additions. Bryce Paup brought pop to the pass rush, getting 17 sacks to earn Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1995. Phil Hansen has developed into a terrific complement to Smith at defen- sive end. Henry Jones is one of the league's best safeties, and partner Karl Schulz is getting there. The comerbacks are
The linebacking is fine. Mark Maddox is healthy, and Chris Spielman was a terror with the Lions and a better all-around player than the departed Corne- lius Bennett. Unlike in their Super Bowl seasons, the Bills have a reliable defense that can turn around games.
"This is a strong, winning de- fense," Smith said. "We can win games the same way our offense

The offense might be too re- liant on Thomas, who goes for a record eighth straight 1,000-yard rushing season and is capable of 1,000 as a receiver. Darick Hol- mes is a good backup, and the blockers, led by tackle John Fina and guard Ruben Brown on the left, plus the superb Hull at center, are just fine.
Kelly says his arm is stronger after shoulder surgery, but his 36-year-old body is battered. He
must stay healthy for Buffalo to go anywhere.
Operating without key weapons for much of last year, Kelly threw for 22 TDs and 13 interceptions and had an 81.1 rat- ing. And the Bills won the AFC East again.
Now, he has free agent Qulnn Early, promising rookie Eric Moulds, a healthy Reed and the versatile Steve Tasker as targets.

defensive line, where the Ben- gals are still waiting for "Big Daddy" Dan Wilkinson to blos- som, although he led AFC tackles in sacks with eight last year.
. Houston has one of the up-and- coming teams in the league, but ironically, the Oilers could have few fans to share the excitement in what is likely the franchise's last year in Texas.
Coach Jeff Fisher brought top rookie quarterback Steve McNair along slowly last season, and he responded late in the year with two victories as a starter. Chris Chandler had his best season while McNair watched on the sidelines, and if Chandler starts, Fisher won't need much of an excuse to switch to the fran- chise player in waiting.
Chris Sanders, who led the NFL in yards-per-catch (23.5) as a rookie, has a new running mate at wide receiver on the Oilers. Wil- lie Davis, one of the top yards- per-catch receivers in the league the last four years, was signed from Kansas City to replace Hay wood Jeff ires.
Rodney Thomas rushed for nearly 1,000 yards as a part-time rookie starter, but he eventually will share time or make way for Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George, who was impressive in camp and preseason games. Ronnie Harmon replaces Todd tycNair as the third-down "receiver out of the backf ield.
Houston ranked a surprising fifth in the NFL defensively, thanks to strong linebacker and secondary play.
Michael Barrow, Joe Bowden and Eddie Robinson manned the linebacker spots in 1995, but Rob- inson was signed by Jacksonville. He will be replaced by 10-year veteran Al Smith, injured for all but two games last year.
In the secondary, safety Blalne Bishop and cornerback Darryll Lewis made the Pro Bowl, and big-play man Cris Dishman is designated the franchise player.

Free safety Marcus Robertson blew out both knees the last two seasons, but he is back for an- other try this year.
The Baltimore Ravens fell apart in their last season as the Cleveland Browns, and a new coaching staff headed by Ted Marchlbroda hopes the new sur- roundings and fewer distractions could mean a return to playoff contention.
Marchlbroda is shelving the two-tight end offense favored by Bill Belichlck for a no-huddle, one-back set. The change should benefit quarterback Vinny Tes- taverde and veteran runners Earnest Byner and Leroy Hoard, who can spell each other.
But the Ravens cut highly paid receiver Andre Rison, who flopped under Belichick's system and was a divisive force in the locker room.
The defense will be bolstered by the return of 1994 Pro Bowl safety Eric Turner and the addi- tion of rookie linebacker Ray Lewis, but there are still too many holes.
It took Jacksonville coach Tom Coughlin one season and two off- seasons to build the NFL's biggest offensive line.

Natrone Means, claimed on waivers from San Diego, will run behind that huge line, teaming with second-year man James Stewart.
Mark Brunell enters the season as a starting quarterback for the first time, and like most speedy young passers, he tends to run too often. But with a receiver corps that had just six plays of 30 yards or more, the temptation to run is strong.

AFC West:
Beathard, Ross have 'Bolts primed for run at playoffs
The Associated Press
Bobby Beathard has been called an innovator and even a genius for the way he builds teams. He was a mastermind in Washington and his San Diego clubs, although inconsistent, have been a tribute to his ability to recognize talent.
Bobby Ross won a national championship at Georgia Tech and has gotten the Chargers into the playoffs in three of his four seasons as coach. They made the Super Bowl in 1994 and just might get back this season if a few things break right.
Such as: ■ Aaron Hayden replaces Na-
trone Means as the workhorse in the backf ield. ■ Marco Coleman is as effec-
tive rushing the passer as depar- ted Leslie O'Neal. ■ Bryan Still or Charlie Jones
are typical Beathard draft steals. They might need to be, with only

for the secondary. The Chargers are no power-
house. But they weren't in any of their successful seasons under Ross. They simply make the plays at critical times.
"It's just another challenge," Beathard says. "We have a young team, a lot of question marks. We haven't pulled together and played offensively and some areas defensively the way we're going to have to if we're going to be able to get to the playoffs."
Humphrey and Junior Seau are the acknowledged leaders, and you can't do much better than that. The hard-nosed quarter- back throws some wobblers, doesn't run very well and makes some bad decisions.
He also never stops trying, is remarkably creative under pres- sure and has an unwavering be- lief in himself and his team- mates.
What he might not have is the supporting cast in the backfield and at receiver. The departures of Means, Ronnie Harmon, Mark Seay and Shawn Jefferson, while hardly devastating, will be harm-

almost as good as San Diego's, as is their defensive front. Their secondary is better.
Kansas City also has holes, be- ginning with an inexperienced receiving corps that counts on Tamarick Vanover and Lake Dawson to become stars. The
linebackers are too up-and-down and the special teams are uncer- tain.
KC's success better not ride on the production of quarterback Steve Bono. He had a fine season in '95, his first as a starter, and established himself as a winner. His postseason performance in a 10-7 home loss to Indianapolis (after an 8-0 record at Arro- whead Stadium during the season) was abysmal and his top two receivers, Willie Davis and Webster Slaughter, are else- where.
So they must rely heavily on their running game, which is fine, because the Chiefs led the league in rushing.
Oakland was leading the entire league with an 8-2 record when it lost quarterback Jeff Hostetler. Then it lost its final six games amid turmoil in the locker room and on the coaching staff.
Hoss has to stay healthy for the Raiders to contend. If he does, many of the offensive weapons are in place, including running backs Harvey Williams and Na- poleon Kaufman, receiver Tim Brown and rookie tight end Rickey Dudley. Williams should rush for 1,000 yards and Brown go over that in reception yard- age, provided a questionable offensive line jells.
Defensively, the Raiders used free agency to fill chasms at tackle, cornerback and safety. Russell Maryland will team with All-Pro Chester McGlockton on the line, flanked by pass-rushing demons Pat Swilling (13 sacks) and Anthony Smith. Larry Brown, a former Super Bowl MVP, and strong safety Lorenzo Lynch join Albert Lewis and Terry McDaniel in what should be a top-level secondary.
Seattle made a nice move to 8-8 last season, going 6-2 in the sec- ond half of the schedule. The Scahawks could make a quick impact in this year's schedule,
which has them playing San Diego, Denver and Kansas City right away.
The Scahawks have solid receivers with Joey Galloway and veteran Brian Blades, whose manslaughter conviction was re- versed by a judge. They also have Chris Warren, the AFC's most prolific running back.
Defensive tackle Cortez Ken- nedy is a star. Linebacker Terry Wooden had 114 solo tackles in '95 and safety Robert Blackmon is a standout.
Quarterback Rick Mirer is de- veloping too slowly, the offensive and defensive lines are too un- certain and Wooden has little help at linebacker.
Seattle scored 218 points in its strong second half a year ago. A repeat of that output could lift it into the playoffs.
For Denver to get into the playoffs, John Elway will have to be more of a magician than usual. And that's saying something.
The Broncos lost more through free agency than they gained and will miss RB-KR Glyn Milburn and defensive ends Shane Dronett and Simon Fletcher the most. While Bill Romanowski was a good addition at line- backer, Denver is so thin there it's relying on top pick John Mo- bley - of Kutztown, no less ~ to start.
Steve Atwater is a terrific safety, but that's about all Den- ver has in the secondary. Most of the defensive linemen are past their prime. The same might be said of the offensive line.
All of which means Elway, supported by running back Ter- rell Davis - a 1,000-yard rusher as a rookie -- and receivers Shan- non Sharpe and Anthony Miller, has a tough chore ahead of him in a tough division.

BILLS
AFC EAST Continued from page 24.
"Our goal is to go out and win it this year, and if we don't, I'll come back and hopefully do it the following year," Thomas said. "But if we do, I'm outta here."
The Bills will be pushed In the division by Indianapolis, which fell inches short of the Super Bowl last January. The other three teams are rebuilding.
The Colts might suffer from management's moves in the off- season. Ted Marchibroda's re- ward for the astounding playoff run was being set free when his contract ran out. He's now head coach in Baltimore.
Lindy Infante moves up and still will control the offensive strings, but defensive coor- dinator Vince Tobin got the head job in Arizona. A strong, innova- tive staff was torn apart, and several Colts players were dis- turbed by the changes.
The defense didn't lose much and has perhaps the AFC's best group of linebackers. The departure of tackle Will
Wolford, the team's best blocker, as a free agent will hurt. The three linemen signed - Doug Wldell, Troy Auzenne and Jay Lfceuwenburg - are serviceable, but not in Wolford's class. 'The Colts finally have the weapons in the skill positions to be n winner. Jim Harbaugh's breakout year saw him lead the league in passing, and he was nicknamed "Captain Comeback" for continually leading Indy from behind. His reward: a four-year, $13 million deal.
Jimmy Johnson is used to having such players. He simply doesn't have enough of them this time around.
So JJ's return to the NFL, while it will draw headlines no matter what the Dolphins do, won't be a triumphant one. If Miami match- es its 9-7 mark of 1995, it will be doing well. Championships are down the road, and Johnson un- derstands that, even if he isn't quite letting on.
"Everyone's job is up for grabs," he said. "They've got to prove they want to be a starter." lOne guy who definitely will
start is Dan Marino, who holds all those spiffy passing records, but np titles. Now, he has the coach of the '90s on his side.
. "I'm excited about the possibi- lities of playing for coach John- son," Marino said. "It's my 14th season. I seem to get more ex cited each year. In this game, you never know when it's going to epd."
Defensively, Miami's chances njight end quickly. Gone are the bfcst lineman (Marco Coleman), linebacker (Bryan Cox) and back (Troy Vincent), all to free agency.
; The coaching situation in New England is tenuous. Bill Parcells stems to have tired of the grind once again, and he's annoyed the team insisted on drafting Terry Glenn with the seventh overall pick, when he wanted a defender. . So Parcells renegotiated his
contract to eliminate the fifth tear, ending the pact after this season. He created a lame-duck situation that can't help. '■ The guys who need the most rielp in New England are the ball, handlers and the secondary. Par- qells figures to turn to second- year CB Ty Law and free-agent sjafety Willie Clay In the back- fAeld and expects more from pass-rushers Willie McGlnest 4nd Chris Slade. | The New York Jets were, for
the first time in their 25 NFL seasons, at the very bottom. They rebuilt nicely, particularly on offense, with $25 million QB Neil O'Donnell; wideouts Jeff Graham Aid Webster Slaughter through tree agency, Keyshawn Johnson and Alex Van Dyke In the draft;

and tackles David Williams and Jumbo Elliott. They certainly should score more than 22 touch- downs, and Adrian Murrell, the top runner, could get 1,000 yards.
The defense is decent, sparked by linebackers Mo Lewis, Marvin Jones and Bobby Houston, and cornerback Aaron Glenn.
What to do on Sundays? I'm at a loss about what I'll be
doing on Sundays this football season.
For as long as I can remember, the Sunday ritual has been as fol- lows for myself: join with some amount of junk food - Planter's Cheese Balls are the best - and park In front of the TV for a Cleveland Browns game.
There wasn't any real question about it. Whether they were good or bad, I was there for every down I could soak in.
Now they are gone, whisked away by an evil man I will not recognize by name in this space.
What do I do now? I guess there are 28 other teams to choose from.
The Ravens? Not on your life. I'm glad for the city of Baltimore - they got screwed, just like Cleveland did - but I will never cheer for a franchise owned by that evil man.
The Bengals? I admit that I cheered for them In 1989 when Joe Montana and the 49ers edged
Scott Brown Sports Editor
them in the Super Bowl. But I'm ashamed of it. There are still only the second-best pro football team in Ohio, after the Buckeyes.
The Bears? They're OK, but without Mike Ditka they just aren't what they used to be. The Steelers? As a lifelong Cleveland fan, it is my duty to hate Pitts- burgh and everything it stands for.
The Lions? Wayne Fontes is an idiot.'Nuff said.
The Cowboys? Convicts. The 49ers? I've lost all respect for Steve Young since he did those
goofy milk ads. The Rams? They used to play In Cleveland, but I've lost track where they are now.
The Saints? No. The Oilers? No. The Raiders? No, not even If the cheerleaders put pads on and played.
OK, maybe the Dolphins... if Jimmy Johnson gets a mohawk and then makes Dan Marino play in a monkey costume and Ditka comes out of retirement to play tight end.
I give up. There is no way. None of these teams are the Cleveland Browns.
No Dog Pound in the end zone, showering the rest of the NFL with batteries and biscuits. No groundskeepers scurrying around before kickoff spraying green paint on the bare mud to make the field look good on TV.
No shower of boos coming down when it is announced that Cris Collingsworth is calling the game on NBC. No stoic figure of
Jim Brown - the best running back In NFL history, mind you —
pacing the sidelines. Those images will forever stick
with the rest of the me and the Browns fans. Those and a few others, like Vinny Testaverde leading the way to a stunning up- set of the Cowboys, or Bernle Ko- sar finding Brian Brennan in the endzone with 5 JO to play to give a seven-point lead in the AFC Championship game.
Those images are no more. The NFL promises Cleveland a
new Browns team by the end of this century. They are even bull- dozing Municipal Stadium and building a better place to play.
I can only hope that the New Browns can even approach the tradition of their forerunners.
And I can only hope that they are still selling Cheese Balls by then.
Scott Brown's Sundays will ac- tually be spent working at The BG News this fall. Yes, life does goon.

Johnson back up to his old tricks Marino is the only player safe as Jimmy rebuilds the Dolphins
Dave Goldberg The Associated Press
DAVIE, Fla - Jimmy Johnson has always had his priorities in order.
First is football. The next three are his boat, his tropical fish and his girlfriend, hairdresser Rhonda Rookmaker. To put things in further perspective, the only non- football related item in the Dolphins office he took over from Don Shula is a picture of the boat.
"The perfect situation," Johnson says after two years in the coaches' holding tank as an analyst for Fox Television. "I'm in Miami and I'm coaching."
Johnson is a Texan who fell in love with south Florida when he took over in 1984 as coach of the University of Miami Hurri- canes. In the questionnaire the NFL sends to all new head coaches, Johnson came to the section "favorite college town," and filled in "Miami" - not State College, South Bend, Ann Arbor, Norman or College Station.
Miami certainly isn't the same as Irving,
"The perfect situation. I'm in Miami and I'm coaching."
Jimmy Johnson new Dolphins coach
Texas, where Jerry Jones would pop up be- side him on the sidelines or in the locker room, a Saudi prince or two in tow, and suggest that the glory due Johnson and the Dallas Cowboys was really the work of the owner.
Here, Johnson is in total control as coach and general manager of the Dolphins. Wayne Huizenga, the team's owner, keeps a low profile. And Shula, the team's vice chairman, stays out of the way after being pushed aside following a record 347 wins in 33 NFL seasons, 26 of them with the Dolphins.
How much control does Johnson have?
Less than three weeks before the season opener, he made it clear to a rookie free agent named Larry Izzo who knocked down two Bears on a kickoff in an exhibition.
"Izzo!" he yelled. "Where ya from?" "Woodlands," Izzo replied. "Outside Houston?" asked Johnson. "Yep," Izzo said. "Well, call your family and tell them that
only two guys have made the Dolphins right now - Dan Marino and Larry Izzo."
That's Jimmy Johnson.
The Dolphins, picked last year to reach the Super Bowl, struggled to make the playoffs, then were ousted in the first round by Buf- falo. Johnson sat on his boat and listened to the voices calling for him to replace Shula. He had to be laughing.
When Johnson took over in January, much was made of the fact he was achieving a kind of coaching exacta First, he replaced Tom Landry In Dallas, then Shula in Miami - two men who dominated the NFL for nearly three decades.
