Undergraduate Student Government campaigns have begun, and two USG members put in their bid for 2010-11 USG presidency.

Current USG Vice President Kevin Basch and Senator Clayton Stewart are both run-ning for president; joining their tickets are vice presidential candidates Daniel Caldwell and

Brandon Double, respectively.According to USG’s election

rules, procedures and guidelines, online voting will begin Monday, March 29 and end Friday, April 2, at www.bgsu.edu.

But campaigns are already in high gear to reach voters.

Both candidates have adver-tisements on bulletin boards and buildings, chalk advertise-ments on sidewalks and are

also reaching out to voters on Facebook. Low voter turnout has been a problem with past USG elections and Basch said he wants to encourage people to vote.

“We just want students to be educated and to make the

right decision,” Basch said.Both presidential candidates

Students can help raise money for a cause by singing and danc-ing to Broadway numbers from

“Jesus Christ Superstar” to “Hair”.Let the Sun Shine is a group

of students who hope to raise money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.

Seniors Laura Winebarger and Ryan Sparks have had personal connections to the disease.

“My uncle died of AIDS,” public relations chair Winebarger said.

“I never met him so it’s really per-sonal.”

Sparks also lost a family mem-ber to AIDS in his sophomore year of college and has since decided to work on spreading awareness of the problem.

“I think it’s a really big problem that needs help,” Sparks said.

The 2nd annual event will take place tonight at 7 in St. Mark’s Lutheran Church on South College Drive. A silent auction featuring Broadway memorabil-ia, autographed posters and local gift cards will start the night. At 8 p.m. vocally talented students will be featured singing and dancing for a cause they hope will touch those who attend.

“I just want it to be something that affects people,” senior and co-director Cassie Gress said. “I know a lot of people who are per-sonally affected so in turn it has affected me.”

There is no admission fee to the event but attendees are encouraged to make a donation. All proceeds go to Broadway Cares. The national nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-rais-ing organization based in New York City has raised over $175 million for people in the United States with AIDS.

“I want to spread awareness and help them feel a part of something bigger then them-selves,” Public Relations Chair Winebarger said.

BEERMAN’S MUSICAL BIOGRAPHY

By Nicole CelebrezzeReporter

This June, Jerome Library will lose one of its most energetic and resourceful librarians. After working as a subject librarian for 20 years, Mary Wrighten will retire.

In 1988, while Mary Wrighten was attending Wayne State University, she participated in a librarian internship at Jerome Library. After two years of interning she was hired as the diversity

and multicultural librarian. Wrighten has been dedicated to the library and the students of the University ever since.

“When I started it was hard to connect with the under-grad students,” Wrighten said.

“Through the years I have been able to connect with students of multiple backgrounds.”

Wrighten’s mission for the library related to her job and responsibilities. She worked hard to build a multicultural section of the library. She also wanted to promote diversity

awareness and work as a sub-ject librarian for international, women and ethic studies.

“It has been very gratifying to connect with students of other cultures and make them feel welcome,” Wrighten said.

Wrighten was a member of DryDock, a student group that provided non-alcoholic social events to help with getting students to socialize. She also served as an adviser for the

Burton Beerman decided at eight years old he wanted to write music.

He has since attained national and inter-national recognition in the world of music composition and performance.

On Feb. 16, 2010 the members of the Distinguished Research and Artist Professor Review Committee recognized Burton Beerman as a superior and voted him to be a Distinguished Professor.

Beerman grew up in Atlanta, Ga. where his mother was a successful pianist and composer. Beerman remembers asking his mother to teach him how to write music at a young age.

“She sent me to the downtown library to get a book on writing music,” Beerman said. He remembers all the note heads being back-wards in his first piece of music.

Six months later Beerman started work-

the students representation at the University and make posi-tive changes on campus.

“I care a lot about the University,” Stewart said. “Just some of the things I want to fix, I know I can get it done.”

Basch said he wants to run because he feels students deserve the best president and the best representative possible.

“I feel I’m the most experi-enced and most qualified can-

didate for the job,” Basch said.USG experience isn’t neces-

sary within the USG election guidelines in order to run for president, but both candidates have served on USG for at least a year.

“Even though this is my first official year in student govern-ment, I’ve had a lot of fun in it,” Stewart said. “I’ve taken up a lot of big issues and I want to continue it and I see this as the next step.”

Results of the election will be announced Tuesday, April 6 in front of the Union.

The group hopes to become an official campus organiza-tion for the next school year.

“The goal of the group would be to raise awareness for AIDS,” Sparks said.

Students involved range from musical art majors to environmental policy majors.

“Students can use their tal-ents for a good cause instead of just getting up there and singing,” Gress said.

Black Student Union. “I try to be [as] active and

supportive as I can,” Wrighten said.

Maricelda Losoya-Rush, a library associate at Jerome for 22 years, said she and Wrighten were members of the Multicultural Affairs Committee. Wrighten partici-pated in many panels and also made Jerome recognizable with the sources she had and

the new ones she came across.“She touched a lot of lives

with this and with the students on campus,” Rush said. “Mary is energetic and resourceful. She’s a great multicultural librarian.”

Chris Miko works in the same department as Wrighten and became close friends.

“She’s been a great colleague, a real professional at every-thing she does,” Miko said.

When Wrighten retires June 30, she plans to travel and be an active grandmother for her six grandchildren. She will also have more time to focus on gardening and cooking, as well as reading mystery books.

“The University library is going to be losing a great mul-ticultural librarian and a great friend,” Rush said.

ing at his father’s grocery store where a man asked him if he wrote music. The man paid him $5 for every gospel song he wrote, a relationship that would lead to his involvement in the early civil rights movements.

At the age of eight, Beerman was being paid to write music and also began playing the clarinet and saxophone in the Peacock Club when his instru-ment was bigger than he was.

“I became sort of like the house mascot,” Beerman said. “I’ve been writing music ever since.”

Beerman’s father was original-ly an engineer in Bell labs before the Depression hit and forced him into the grocery business. Beerman has a difficult time remembering his father ever talking to him.

“Parents never know what to do with kids who want to be a

composer,” Beerman said. “My dad would take away my food and tell me to practice being a starving artist.”

Beerman’s involvement in the pre-civil rights movements has left a lasting impression on his life experiences. He even recalls a distant memory of seeing a young Martin Luther King Jr.

“I remember King’s face and how he had no sense of hate,” Beerman said. “I always look back at that face.”

Beerman would participate in sit-ins, and though he was never arrested, as he described, he would be beat bloody.

After experiencing the hatred found in the civil rights move-ment he continued to believe he had no choice but to become a composer and often focused his writings on political and social issues.

Beerman majored in music at the University of Miami and Florida State. He attended grad-uate school at the University

of Michigan and was hired at Bowling Green State University in 1970.

“I was brought here to establish an electric music and recording studio,” Beerman said. “I’ve been here ever since then.”

Beerman has taught nearly every course offered in the College of Musical Arts and has founded several groups and events. These include co-founding in 1971 the New Music Ensemble, the Electronic Music and Recording Studios and in 1979 the New Music Festival which features new musical works by living composers and College of Musical Arts faculty and students.

“It will be its 31st year,” Beerman said. “It has people coming from all over the world to Bowling Green every fall.”

His wife Celesta Haraszti, a native of Hungary and a dancer has been standing beside her husband since high school.

Beerman said marrying his

wife is one of the best things he has ever done and described their story as a true Romeo and Juliet. Haraszti had a certain glow when speaking of her love for her husband.

“Every day I learn new and beautiful things about him,” Haraszti said. “We grew up together and there is always such wisdom from him; he has this ability to have an amazing artis-tic insight.”

The duo has worked together on several pieces and perfor-mances with Beerman’s writing abilities and Haraszti’s dancing talents.

Beerman has had a reputa-tion in the field of electronic and computer music as an innovator and pioneer. His works merge audio and visual technologies with live instrumental perfor-mance, dancing and singing. Beerman also aided in the devel-opment of the BodySynth which is a wireless sensor system that is attached to a dancer who’s movements will control video and sound.

“We have worked with danc-ers all over the world,” Beerman said.

Beerman was presented the

Governor’s Award for the Arts in 2008 and was also awarded the 2007 CINE Golden Eagle Award for his composition in the film documentary “203 Days” which featured the last 203 days of a cancer patient’s life. His clarinet performances have also received worldwide attention.

Colleague and Associate Professor of Composition Elainie Lillios knew of Beerman before working at the University by pur-chasing a CD of his while she was an undergrad.

“Ten years later it was really amazing to be introduced to him as a colleague,” Lillios said.

Lillios not only sees Beerman as a colleague but as a mentor as well.

“I still seek his advice when I get stuck,” she said.

Despite his long list of accom-plishments, Beerman continues to remember what he believes is important.

“Every once in a while you get to touch someone’s life,” he said.

ANDY BALTES | THE BG NEWS

American tax system is not such a heavy burden for most citizens

End of days conspiracies must end

This past week I saw the movie “2012.” Not a bad flick, but it seemed a little far-fetched.

When I got home afterward, I saw previews on TV for “Book of Eli” and “The Road,” two more movies about the end of the world. After that I saw a mara-thon of end of the world shows on History Channel, Discovery Channel and Nat Geo. There seems to be a pattern.

Now, I think stories like this make for a fun movie and can have a message for people to follow, but there seems to be a cultural obsession with Armageddon nowadays that is bordering on the creepy.

Part of this new trend, no doubt, is the quickly approach-ing year of 2012. For people who don’t know the stories, the legend goes there are sev-eral different ancient cultures around the world, from the Maya to the Chinese, who say something big is going to hap-pen December 21, 2012. Rumor has it this big event is the end of time, which means we’re

going to miss Christmas that year. Bummer.

While I doubt most people believe in this conspiracy theo-ry, this endless parade of mov-ies, shows and documentaries about the end times makes me think some people are taking this thing seriously.

Can people really be that par-anoid? Can they have so little faith in humanity and our abil-ity to fix things they are already preparing for the end?

For those who think 2012 is the end coming ever closer, they just need to look at the past. It is not the first year to be called the last year we the human race will see.

In the 1830s, the Millerites, a religious group that would eventually become the Church of Latter Day Saints, predicted the world would end in 1843. When the day came and went, they changed their minds and said it would in 1844. Once again, nothing happened and, having learned their lesson, they never again tried to predict when the last day would be.

And, of course, we all remember the last few months leading up to the year 2000. People thought Jesus would return, or the Y2K bug would wipe out computers and lead to a massive nuclear accident.

People began to horde water, food and other supplies in their basements and bomb shelters. When New Year’s Eve turned into New Year’s Day and the calendar changed from 1999 to 2000, nothing happened and the world continued as it always has.

A few years later, some people actually got worried about June 6, 2006, believing the date (6/6/06) would cause global disasters and destroy the world.

Today the hot topic is 2012 and the fate of Earth. But it is obvious from the past that probably nothing will happen that day. Jesus has never come back, the Y2K bug never wiped us out and the swine flu is yes-terday’s news. No one knows for sure what the future holds, so to waste time and effort try-ing to prepare for something no one can really prove will hap-pen is a joke.

I liked the movie 2012, but now I can’t wait for that year to come and go, because then people will start freaking out and preparing for the year 3000 and the Y3K bug. That’ll make a great movie some day.

BRYAN WARRICK COLUMNIST

For some time now, all across the country, community gatherings referring to themselves as “Tea Parties” have gotten together to protest the political inefficiency in Washington.

These groups have taken the Tea Party name as a clever reference to the 18th century Bostonians who protested what they believed was taxation with-out representation by pouring tea into the Boston Harbor. For those involved in modern Tea Parties, and indeed, many who would declare such protests as great acts of civic awareness, what I am about to say may shock you: It turns out our current level of taxation is pretty much exactly on pace with our current level of representation.

There is, for whatever reason, a prevailing notion lately that the tax rates in the United States have become so burdensome as to cripple many citizens’ ability to maintain a respectable liveli-hood. Some have gone so far as to throw out the phrase “socialist” at the top levels of the government.

It would surely surprise many to find, then, that the top mar-ginal tax rate (taxation of the rich-est Americans) and the median-

income tax rates (taxation more toward the average American) are both at historically low levels.

According to the Tax Policy Center, Americans both rich and poor are being taxed at a lower rate today than at any time since Herbert Hoover. In fact, the champion of the current desire for small government, Ronald Reagan, had higher tax rates than George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and yes, even Barack Obama.

According to the Tax Policy Center, the top marginal tax rate in 1984, dead in the center of Reagan’s presiden-cy, was 50 percent, and it is about 37 percent today. The median-income tax rate was roughly 10 percent in 1984, and is about 7 percent today.

The prevailing argument against taxation comes from the supposed benefits of privatiza-tion. The belief here is that when money is put into the hands of private organizations, they tend to be able to deliver higher quality services. This is, in many instanc-es, simply not the case.

Here’s an open challenge: Write me two letters. Take one down to the post office in an envelope and take one to UPS or Fed Ex. See who charges you more to send a letter, see if one gets here any faster than the other — you’d be surprised.

Certainly, the burden of taxa-tion is nothing to make light of, and our economic system has

left many Americans in debt with very little means of self-recovery.

Taxation at the state and local level is also of concern, as com-munities struggle with maintain-ing decaying infrastructure and fragile job forces. However, any remedy is best applied by first accurately understanding the root of the ailment.

A recent article on the US econ-omy in Time Magazine summed it up well. To paraphrase, the arti-cle stated Americans are more likely now than in any other time in history to demand public ser-vices while feeling no obligation to pay for them.

It is time we come together as a nation and invest in our-selves. Investment, of course, requires money. The solution is relatively simple, as it is simply based in the things we demand of our representatives. It would be political suicide in an elec-tion today to support tax hikes, but, at least at the Federal level, they may very well be neces-sary. No one likes the idea of losing more of a paycheck to tax payment for something they may never see benefits from.

But the next time we send a let-ter, have a drink of water from a tap, take a walk in a public park or walk the streets safely, we should remember all the good things taxes can do, not just the bad.

Closing of parking lots needs to be addressed

LETTERSTO THE EDITOR

On Tuesday, March 16 at approxi-mately 5 p.m. I went to park in lot 16, but as I went to turn into the parking lot there were barricades constructed at the entrances marked “do not enter.”

I was instructed to park out past the first stop sign in lot 12. I called the parking and traffic office to double check this infor-mation and they had no idea that the parking lots were closed off.

This is quite ironic to me that PARKING AND TRAFFIC was not aware of a parking lot being closed!

The same story again on March 17, but this time lot 12 was blocked off as well. So yet again I called the parking office to get some instructions on where I could park, and yet again the worker was clueless to the lots being closed.

All parts of faculty are equal in bargaining processThe Bowling Green State University Faculty Association would like to update the cam-pus community on some recent events surrounding our efforts to achieve collective bargaining rights for University faculty.

The central administration’s outside lawyers sent the FA notice that they plan to chal-lenge our definition of the potential bargaining unit. We believe that all University fac-ulty are equals: assistant pro-fessors, full professors, associ-ate professors, instructors and lecturers. We have defined the bargaining unit to reflect this equality because all of us do the hard work that has won the University such high praise for the quality of our programs.

In addition, this action by the central administration will delay the election through unnecessary legal wrangling. The FA believes that all full-time faculty members should have the right to a vote on collective bargaining in a timely manner. The administration

disagrees and has indicated they will fight for this delay all the way through the State Employment Relations Board.

The FA expresses its deep disap-pointment with this decision by the central administration and their lawyers, which attempts to defeat collective bargaining through delay and division. The FA will not accept these tactics and we will continue to strive to repre-sent a unified faculty and to get an election in a timely manner.

During our press conference announcing that a majority of all ranks of University faculty had signed cards indicating sup-port for an election on collective bargaining, we asked hypotheti-cally: what good can come from delaying the wishes of a majority of faculty for a state-run secret ballot election? Unfortunately, we are forced to repeat the ques-tion, with an added concern — what good does dividing our faculty serve?

ENOCH WU | THE BG NEWSCHAMPS: BG could clinch the MAC regular season title with a win this weekend.

By CJ WatsonReporter

The BG gymnastics team is happy to finally be home after a long stretch on the road as they host the Central Michigan Chippewas Sunday at 2 p.m. in Anderson Arena.

While the team has struggled lately, they look to this week-end’s home meet as a way to right the ship and turn the season around just in time for the Mid-American Conference Championships next week at Anderson Arena.

“Its definitely important to get a win,” said coach Kerrie Beach.

“We had some setbacks lately with an injury. We’ve been try-ing to regroup and the team has done a good job of that. I think they don’t need to focus as much on whether they win or lose, they just need to focus on performing the best that they can and the results should

be based on that.”This meet is the Falcons’ final

regular season home meet – next week’s MAC Championships is counted as post-season play.

While it may be the Falcons’ last home meet of the regular season, it is only their third of the year. For seniors Breanne Guy, Megan Chronister, Morgan Balzer and injured Falcon Queenita Gamble, it is their final regular season home meet of their careers for BG.

The Falcons have been on the road for a majority of the season and have had to get used to the long bus rides and hotels that come along with it.

Despite that, they will defi-nitely relish being at home and take advantage of it to the best of their ability.

“They’re really excited to get back home on their equipment,” Beach said. “We get to start out

Baseball looks to shake off rust in weekend series Colonels

By Ryan SatkowiakReporter

Following a successful trip to Florida over spring break, the Falcons head to Richmond, Ky. to battle the Eastern Kentucky Colonels.

The Falcons may also have to deal with a bit of rust in the weekend series, as their last four games, including the team’s home opener, have been canceled due to weather.

The Falcons bring a strong offensive attack to the table, although they lack the pop that the Colonels have.

The Colonels have two play-ers who have more home runs than BG does as a team.

They are led by junior infield-er Jayson Langfels, who is either first or second on the team in every major offensive stat, put-ting up a .436 batting average, five homers and slugging .887.

However, pitching has been a weakness for the team.

They have only two pitchers

with an earned-run average under 5.40, and their team ERA for the season is 7.65.

The Falcons have shown this year that the long ball is not necessary to have a successful offensive attack.

Five players are hitting over .350 for BG. Every one of those players is also getting on base 43 percent of the time, meaning there are plenty of RBI opportu-nities to go around.

Sophomore leadoff hitter Jon Berti has been the catalyst for the team this year, posting a .488 average and a .522 on base percentage.

In addition, he leads the team in hits, at bats and sto-

Looking to crush the Dukes

By Brett WaneReporter

Riding a three-game winning streak, the BG tennis team is set for their final tune up before Mid-American Conference play begins.

The Falcons, led by coach Penny Dean, will host Duquesne University today at the Perrysburg Tennis Center. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m.

Junior Christine Chiricosta and freshman Maddy Eccleston have helped lead the Falcons to a 9-3 record in dual matches this season. BG defeated South Dakota 7-0 and Temple 5-2 on their spring break trip and look

to close out non-conference play with a victory.

Both Chiricosta and Eccleston were able to pick up two doubles and two singles victories on the trip.

Sophomore Jessica Easdale was also perfect, picking up two singles victories and one doubles victory while teaming with junior Mary-Catherine Beck.

Senior co-capta ins Samantha Kintzel and Katia Babina each picked up three victories in four tries.

Duquesne University is 5-6 on the season and is riding a two-game winning streak coming into the matchup with

the Falcons. The Dukes were able to pick up a 4-3 victory over Coastal Carolina, who was ranked No. 69 in the nation.

The last time the Falcons and Dukes battled on the court, BG was victorious on the road 5-2 in last season’s dual-match opener. All-time the Falcons lead the series 4-0 and will hope to pick up a fifth win in the fifth consecutive sea-son the two teams have played each other in dual match play.

Twice BG was able to defeat Duquesne as part of a school record 11-game win-ning streak.

After today’s match against the Dukes, BG will begin

regular season MAC play at Ball State on March 26. The matchup will be the first of eight consecutive MAC con-tests for the Falcons.

BG will then play the defend-ing MAC regular-season and tourney champs Miami the following day. The MAC opener for the Falcons is on Friday, April 2, against Western Michigan.

len bases, and is tied for the team lead in triples and runs.

Outfielder T.J. Blanton has been the big hitter for the team, as he leads the team with seven extra-base hits and a .703 slugging percentage.

BG has also had some trou-ble with pitching this year, in

particular with ace Brennan Smith, who has a 14.21 ERA in four starts. The team ERA for the season is 6.60

However, Kevin Leady and Michael Frank, the team’s second and third starters, have posted ERAs of 3.71 and 3.00, respectively. Both pitch-ers have made three starts.

The games today and Saturday start at 2 p.m. while Sunday’s game starts at 1 p.m.

on the vault which is a very solid event for us. Just having our own fans will make a huge difference.”

Central Michigan will come in and look to spoil BG’s home-coming.

“They’ve always been a force to be reckoned with,” Beach said. “They’ve struggled over the last couple years recently. They’ve had a new facility built in the past year and that has certainly made a difference. Their coaches have excellent knowledge of the sport and they’ve been there for a long time; I feel that those are ele-

ments of a successful colle-giate program.”

The Chippewas enter Sunday’s meet with an 11-2 overall record on the season and are tied with BG for sec-ond place in the MAC, just behind Kent State, with a 4-1 record.

“They’re going to come in focused on winning,” Beach said. “They have a lot of wins this season and they’re up there in the MAC standings.”

With a win, the Falcons could put themselves in sec-ond place overall in the MAC standings on the season. A Kent State loss to Western Michigan would also give BG a share of the regular season MAC title if all goes to plan.

CHRISTINA MCGINNIS | THE BG NEWSHELPING HAND: Tamika Nurse (middle) has provided stability to the Falcons this season when other guards have struggled.

to the next round.Both BG and Michigan State

have a brief history, having only played once since 1997.

The Spartans got the best of the Falcons in the 2008 Women’s National Invitation Tournament, winning 74-66 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

Though it was nearly two years ago, Jen Uhl remembers the type of team MSU has.

“I remember they were strong [and] they were fast. They’re a big team,” Uhl said.

The Spartans are led by their 6-feet-9-inch senior center Allyssa DeHaan, who averages 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.She has a total of 100 blocks this year and 502 for her career.

Forwards Kalisha Keane and Lykendra Johnson post 9.8 and 8.8 points per game, respectively, while Johnson leads the Spartans with 7.6 rebounds per game.

While MSU can beat teams inside the paint, there ability to defend the passing lanes makes for a tough one-two punch.

“They deny each and every pass, so they can force you into turnovers,” BG coach Curt Miller said. “They force you out of your comfort zone.”

And in the midst of an eight-game winning streak, getting forced out of their comfort zone is the last thing the Falcons want.Being comfortable on the court is nothing new to Uhl.

Whether she’s starting or com-ing off the bench, Uhl’s focus is on making a difference in the game.

“Whether I’m starting from the first minute or I’m starting from the 16th minute of the game, I’m going to try to make an impact every time I’m on the floor,” Uhl said.

As a team, the Falcons will have to make an impact for the entire 40 minutes, as the Spartans led the Big Ten in scoring defense (57.5 ppg), field goal percentage defense (35.1), 3-point field goal percentage defense (27.7) and blocks (5.78 bpg).

“They’re the most physical team in the Big Ten, so we have to be ready from the beginning to be able to handle that or they’ll disrupt us on both ends of the floor,” Miller said.

lege and went all four years and never made it.”

After three disappointing seasons with the University of Oregon, Nurse made the risky decision to transfer to BG before her senior season in hopes of playing more meaningful bas-ketball, even though getting that chance is never guaranteed.

For Nurse, it paid off in more ways than one.

“This is by far my favorite sea-son,” Nurse said. “I played with a lot of teammates at Oregon that I

absolutely loved. But this is really a family. This is as close-knit a team that I’ve been on.”

The basketball has been bet-ter, too.

At Oregon, Nurse won 45 games while losing 46. In two seasons with the Falcons — the 2008-09 campaign when she had to sit out due to NCAA transfer rules and this season when she started 33 games — she has won 56 games and lost only 11, while earning twice as many appear-ances in the postseason.

Nurse did play in two Women’s National Invitation Tournament games with Oregon as a sopho-more, and she said playing in

that hostile postseason environ-ment will help her tomorrow.

“At the time it was exciting because it was the first postsea-son experience I had really played in,” Nurse said. “There were phe-nomenal teams. We played a very good team in Wyoming in front of a huge crowd at Wyoming.

“A game like that taught me how to play in front of people and to play in an environment where you’re not really the favorite.”

For the first time since January, the 12th-seeded Falcons will not be favorites when they play against the fifth-seeded Spartans tomorrow.

A large contingent of BG fans

is expected to travel to Louisville but not enough to give the team a crowd advantage, so it’s still up to the players to make the plays on the court, which Nurse has done all season by averaging 10.7 points and 3.3 assists per game while making nearly 40 percent of her shots.

Coach Curt Miller said that’s not the only positive Nurse has brought to his team, as she has helped his players further appre-ciate their opportunities.

“Her leadership [and] her desire to win has rubbed off on the kids,” Miller said. “They realize that here’s a kid who transferred for one year with a big goal in mind.

They see that she was at a school for three years and didn’t have this opportunity, so don’t take [it] for granted.”

Nurse has been taking extra shots during practice, but more importantly, she is get-ting as much scouting infor-mation on the Spartans as she can to make sure her NCAA Tournament dream doesn’t become a nightmare.

“It’s not like the MAC where you’ve seen each team before [and] where you’re aware of their tendencies from playing and from scouting,” Nurse said.

“Here it’s going to be, ‘Here’s your scout. Show up and play.’”

I believe that anybody in this University would feel the same. Let’s reverse the roles and close the faculty parking lots and advise them to “take advantage of

the nice day out, it won’t kill you to walk” and see how that goes over. PLEASE GIVE THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!

NEXT WEEK IN BOWLING GREEN

The thermometer is finally starting to read temperatures that don’t belong to the Artic that we’ve come to terms within Ohio, and all over campus, stu-dents are emerging from their Ugg-boots-and-BG-sweats hibernation outfits. To be quite honest, I’m not sure it’s warm enough for some of the booty-revealing short shorts and the barely-there flyaway skirts I’ve been seeing around campus, but I guess once the temps hit 50, you might as well declare the

University a full-fledged, sum-mer-obsessed disaster zone.

Instead of fighting it, I donned the season’s first pair of flip flops, and convinced myself that the sun shining on my feet was making them warmer than they felt. I also had to convince myself to do a little sprucing to the terribly pale and much ignored feet I had been hiding all winter.

In honor of spring (and less clothing on campus in general), I’ve compiled a few food-based recipes that will get your skin all ready to be bared. Keep in mind, food only goes on parts of your body—not in them.

Tomato Facial Mask1 tomato (Outtakes has canned)1 tsp. lemon juice1 tsp. instant oatmeal

Put all of the ingredients into a blender, and puree them together until smooth.

Slather all over your face and let it soak in for about 20 minutes. The acid in the tomato and the lemon is great for oily skin and other blem-ishes, and the oatmeal reveals the pretty skin stuck below the surface of the dry skin. Rinse with plenty of warm water.

Milk and Water Foot Soak7 cups of water2 cups of milkFor pretty, soft and touchable feet,

mix water and milk in a pot on the stove or in a Tupperware bowl in the microwave. Heat the mixture to as hot as you can stand it, but please don’t go all XXX and try to prove you’re awesome because you can stand such high temperatures. Once heated, put the milk mixture in large bowl and soak your feet in it for at least 10 minutes. After you’ve enjoyed your soak, rinse

The 1980s. It ended one year before I was even born, yet it has resonated with me up until today.

From the cheap action flicks (I’m looking at you, “Cobra”) to my bizarre fascination with Duran Duran and The Cure, I have ever been intrigued by the decade.

Thus with the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine” coming out, in which four jaded friends travel back to 1986, my curiosity was piqued. Then of course there was

MGM’s minor invitation to cover the film at a Lake Tahoe Press Junket, in which stars of the film would throw an ‘80s party (live cover band included).

“Hot Tub” star Craig Robinson (”The Office,” “Knocked Up”) performing “Jessie’s Girl” was fun, and getting to add “MGM 80’s Dancer” to my resume was interesting. Yet I stuck to the mission—getting to the bottom of my ‘80s fascination.

Director Steve Pink finds the decade a definite mixed bag, though. “You have to face your fear, your embarrassment. Shark-skin suit, pink shirt—you can’t run from that,” he said on showing both the righteous and

WHAT MATT LIASSE THINKS: In 2006, four students attending Columbia University in New York City formed a band and began playing shows in coffee houses. Now, Vampire Weekend is on their way to record

a live album at the same studio The Beatles recorded “Abbey Road.”One may ask what it takes to have such success. For this band, it’s threefold, and all qualities are found on their sophomore album, “Contra.”The first ingredient is song lyrics revolving around topics only suitable for listeners study-ing hard in college (two of the album’s song titles are “Horchata” and “Diplomat’s Son.”) The four guys are clearly educated, and they like to show it in their songs.Second of all, their original sound does won-ders for their popularity.

t. Patrick’s Day green was rounded out with rasta red and yellow as the band Barefoot Truth infused the holiday with reggae rhythms for its concert at the Cla-Zel.

The anticipation was thick in the venue Wednesday night for the one-hour layover between the conclusion

of the St. Patrick’s Day event’s opener and the onset of its head-liner. When the band did take the stage around 11 p.m., the crowd reacted.

The band stepped down hard on its opening song “Eagle Front,” layering heavy reggae vibes into the room with true Barefoot authority. “We got love, love for music” danced up and down on attendees’ ears with the cadence often inherent of the enduring island genre Bob Marley put a face to years ago. If an Irish jig could weave with a Jamaican twist, it would resemble the scene

that followed.Dangling green beads jingled and swung from the necks

of their owners as the dancing desire took over. Drummer and lead singer Will Evans’ sharp drum strikes to both tradi-tional set and percussion drums kept the rhythms fresh on the audience’s feet. Jay Driscoll’s speed-noted guitar solos and John Waynelovich’s respective piano displays put speed in the danc-ers’ toes. Harmonica solos bellowed across the walls with the hanging feeling the instrument instills; all meshed and adhered with Andy Wrba’s steady bass riffs.

“I loved them,” said freshman Madeline Verchio. “They were prob-ably the best band I have seen at Cla-Zel, and I loved the fact I could dance to them.”

Unsure of the acceptance they would receive, Evans said there was some anxiety in the hearts of the band prior to taking the stage.

“We were a little worried before we started playing and they were playing club music,” he said. “We were like ‘Oh man, they

Kroos is one of a small num-ber of touring double neck gui-

“There is a certain visual appeal,” he said. “I mean, it looks complicated because you’re on two necks, but it’s actually really simple.”

unrighteous moments of the era. That’s where the charm lies though, in that even the most embarrassing parts of the decade are fun now if just because of how ridiculous they are.

That’s where the enjoyment of “Hot Tub” and the decade in general are found, in the charm of it all. Nearly all generations can appreciate the referenc-es, ranging from the obvious (”Miami Vice” and “Where’s the Beef?” T-shirts) to the obscure (Wham’s “Choose Life” motto).

Then there are also the stars of the time, which “Hot Tub” defi-nitely did not let go to waste.

“You probably wanna do [an ‘80s movie] with John Cusack,”

stresses co-star Lizzy Caplan, “Or else you’re a hack.”

Seeing as she plays the girlfriend of the famed “Say Anything” and “Sixteen Candles” actor, it looks like “Hot Tub” hits the mark then. Cusack is not the only one returning to the days that launched him to stardom. Chevy Chase (”Caddyshack,”

“Vacation”) and Crispin Glover (”Back to the Future”) also swing back to the most excellent era. Glover described his return to time-travel adventures as “a very positive, enjoyable experience.”

In the end though, what does one take away from the ‘80s? It was a decade of excess, a time before technology ruled the world, of carefree fun and not having to check one’s cell phone every second. Actually, forget the movie, show me where that time machine is.

NOSTALGIA From Page 8

yet mature afro beat-type indie song arrange-ments set them apart from other bands. They have created a sound that makes them easily distinguishable after a minute of listening.Thirdly, the mood of their songs does nothing but put smiles on faces. The band’s opening track rhymes Horchata (a sweet beverage popular in Mexico) with balaclava (a woolen hood covering one’s head and neck usually worn by mountain climbers,) Aranciata (a brand of carbonated mineral water) and Masada (a mountaintop fortress in Israel.)Vampire Weekend crushes any ideas of a sophomore slump with “Contra,” giving the band more of what they offered on their first self-titled album released in 2008.

There are two different ways the band sets up to entertain the listener. The first half of the album features fast-paced tunes averag-ing at three minutes each. This part of the album features choruses with no words but fun whines (“White Sky,”) brief usage of Auto-tune (“California English”) and a background of chirpy horns (“Run”). The final songs of the album feature songs closer to five and six minutes with the album conclusion dedicated to a person who has decided to turn their backs away from friendship which showcases VW most vulnerable side seen (“I Think UR A Contra”).The band develops a name for themselves with “Contra” and create a piece of art unlike anything else heard from other artists of today. Now that The Beatles have given them space on Abbey Road, maybe there’s room for a Contra Road in NYC in the next years to come.

VAMPIRE From Page 8

A 19-year-old Alice falls down a rabbit hole, returning to the mystical underworld she first experienced as a child. She quickly learns she has a des-tiny to fulfill in Wonderland to slay the Jabberwocky, basically a dragon, and dethrone the evil Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter.

Alice is reluctant to take on this path as it is very danger-ous and she needs to get back to the world above. But she is convinced by the Mad Hatter to tread on after seeing the devas-tation to the land at the hands of the Red Queen and her army of heart-suite card men.

With the aid of the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Alice embarked on her journey, resulting in an entertaining bat-

tle between the armies of the White and Red Queens along with Alice and Company.

I’ve never been much of a Tim Burton fan in the past, and “Alice in Wonderland” did little to change that. Overall it was a fun movie, with very interesting effects and the ending battle was pretty excit-ing. However, I still can’t shake the feeling the Mad Hatter got much more of a central role simply because it was Johnny Depp, Burton’s heterosexual life partner.

While “Alice in Wonderland” is offered as a 3-D film, I can’t see how it would really add much to the experience. My suggestion for “Alice” is two-fold; if you tend to enjoy Burton’s flicks, as many do,

“Alice” is right up your alley. If you feel that Burton forces the creative and over uses Depp, skip the Jabberwocky and talking caterpillar.

ALICE From Page 8

Kroos’ music has a broad appeal that belies its technical appear-ance. When considering influ-ences, he spoke more about punk and ska bands than any virtuoso guitarists. He even characterized his music as pop, despite the level of skill involved.

“Its basically pop music,” he said. “It just doesn’t sound like pop because there aren’t any words.”

Though he’s been a guitarist for much longer, Kroos has only honed this style for a little more than one year. First using two guitars in an awkward setup that allowed him to tap on both, he eventually bought the double neck he uses now.

Kroos is no stranger to the local music scene, as he used to perform with defunct local ska band The Argonauts, who also played with Phantasmagoria as well.

“They were my favorite band in Bowling Green,” he said. “When I found out we were going to be able to play with them, I was

really excited.”With his history considered,

it’s fair to say the Bowling Green show is the perfect way for Kroos to kick off his Midwest tour. Touring solo is new to him and he holds some reserva-tions.

“I miss touring with a band,” he said. “When you’re on your own you show up at a venue and you don’t know anyone, you feel like a loser until you start playing. I’m kind of a shy person.”

Kroos wasn’t shy about his plans for the future. He wants to take his guitar as far as pos-sible, though making a living is the short-term goal but he laments that his potential is limited by his body.

“I don’t think I’m going to get a three neck guitar,” he said. “I only wish I had one more arm.”

GUITARIST From Page 8

are going to hate us for ruining the [mood].’ People were real-ly respectful, and we threw in some covers to make them feel like they knew some of the songs.”

The band’s cover choices added extra shades of fun and humor to the show. The theme song from the popular show “The Office” shot out unexpectedly from the stage, catching the room off guard while eliciting smiles all around. The band also covered John Mayer’s “Waiting On The World To Change.” Supplemented by a twang-inflectioned rendi-tion of a popular dance song very much outside the band’s usual repertoire, this song was sent out to the concert’s female attendees.

“Their cover of ‘Single Ladies’ was great,” sophomore Sarah Gluckin said, “And just in general the reggae feel to contemporary songs was awesome and pretty unique.”

A hint of Irish orneriness, too, shined through in the unchar-acteristic mustaches the band’s members wore proudly for the show.

“We did that just for the Cla-Zel here in Bowling Green.” Waynelovich said, laughing.

Driscoll’s mustach proved less

than convincing to one concert-goer.

“One older man pulled my mustache and asked if it was real,” Driscoll’s said.

The band pulled on many styles and influences to cre-ate the sound they brought to Bowling Green that night. The swirling of jazz into the reggae root structure of their music was an aspect senior Brad Bishheimer most admired.

“I think they are awesome,” he said. “The way they like, blend the jazz into the reggae is so unique. It’s really unlike any other band I’ve ever heard.”

Driscoll, too, prided himself on the melting-pot nature of the songs they assemble.

“One of the questions we ask people is ‘What is your favorite song?’” he said. “Everybody has their own flavor to what is their favorite song. We kind of strive to make everyone happy in their different ways.”

The band as a group said they wish to return to Bowling Green, hopefully having built a fan base here that will receive them again. Audience approval was abun-dant. A man handling booking for a club in Columbus was in attendance and inquired about hiring the band. Barefoot Truth left its footprint — no soles, all foot palms and toes.

Brown Sugar Scrub1 cup brown sugar1/2 cup oil1 tsp. vitamin E (You can get this by

cutting open a couple Vitamin E liquid

gel caps)1/2-1 tsp. vanilla extract

To make this sweet smelling and really easy body scrub, simply mix the ingredients together. The vitamin E and vanilla extract are extras, so if you can’t get your hands on either one, no worries. The best oil to use is almond oil, but seeing as that can get really pricy, any oil you can get your hands on should do the trick. After washing in the shower, rub the scrub on your skin from head to toe. Rinse with cooler water and pat dry for best end results.
