Friends from other schools may get jeal-ous, because Nick Jonas will be visiting the University to perform.

He will be at the Stroh on Tuesday, April 21 and doors will open for students and the public at 6 p.m. The show will start at 7 p.m.

University Activities Organization was in charge with picking the artist and host-ing the show.

Co-Director for UAO’s entertainment programming team Alysson Tharrett said she is really excited for Nick Jonas to perform.

“I hope everyone loves it and has a lot of fun,” she said.

Jasmine Buxton, advisor for UAO, helped the students plan the event and make sure things run smoothly.

UAO chose two people to perform before Nick Jonas, Buxton said. They will be Emily Hearn and Levi Stephens.

“They were chosen because they are similar in sound and play the guitar,” Buxton said. “They both are very good. They are young and have the sound of soul and folkish.”

They went through many people before

their final choice of Nick Jonas. “We had some options then we made it

to the top three,” Tharrett said. “We then looked at who would do well with BG and our students.”

Buxton said they try to choose people with different styles every year.

“We want a different sound every year that is also family friendly,” she said. “Hopefully, for students who have been here for four years, they will see different artists every year. They should see some-one from rap, country, pop and rock.”

In order to pick someone for the con-cert, UAO looks at many different factors for the artists.

“We look at who’s popular, who is on the top 40 music, YouTube hits and more,” she said.

Before they narrowed it down to Nick Jonas, they were looking at artists like Fall Out Boy and Paramore, Buxton said. They chose Nick because the oth-ers had scheduling conflicts and he was very open.

“He was really eager to come,” she said. “He even moved some things around on his tour to make it here.”

Although tickets for the f loor are sold out, tickets for the bowl seats are still available for the public.

After 32 hours of dancing, fundraising and smiles, this year’s culmination of Dance Marathon ended at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening and they raised $341, 749.34. This was the highest amount raised in the event’s history.

ZiggyThon celebrated 20 years of working with Miracle Children and Mercy Children’s Hospital in Toledo, Ohio.

The closing ceremony began with a few awards for par-ticipants and dancers with congratulations from a few special speakers.

Mayor of Bowling Green Richard Edwards said a few remarks about the event.

“I sense good news in the air, keep it going,” Edwards said. Coordinators also announced the new executive board for

the 2016 Dance Marathon and congratulated them on stage. Renee Erskine, parent of Miracle Child Regan Erskine, who

has Carnitine Deficiency, Immune Deficiency and Ulcerative Colitis, said that Dance Marathon and the people involved in it make it better.

“The support and love that Regan is shown is amazing,” Erskine said. “We’ve been to this event for a few years now and

Students volunteer to clean up city, pick up roadside trash

BG CleanUp work in different parts of town, goal to foster sense of community with residence, students

By William ChannellManaging Editor

Those who commute to and from campus may have noticed the appearance of roadside trash after the spring thaw.

Two University and four Bowling Green High School students volunteered Sunday afternoon to help clean the city up.

The volunteers came together as part of “BG CleanUp,” an event orga-nized by Sean Herman, president of University social activism group Freedom.

The students met at The Common Good at 113 Crim St. and focused on areas in the first and second wards of the city.

Megan Sutherland, direc-tor of The Common Good, said there had been talk among those involved in The Common Good about

organizing a trash pickup.Salem Lahlali, a stu-

dent who is involved in both The Common Good and Freedom, suggested it to Herman who then took the idea from there, Sutherland said.

“[Herman] took the ini-tiative and he organized it,” Sutherland said.

Tucker Pendleton, a stu-dent at Bowling Green High School, is a member of the high school’s Key Club. Faculty at the school encour-age members to take the opportunity to volunteer.

“I thought, ‘You know, that sounds like a good idea,’” Pendleton said. “Get some volunteer hours and help the community. It sounded like a new change to work with the college.”

Delta Lambda Phi member Aaron Gilbert was there to fulfill service hour require-ments, but said he hopes “to

have a cleaner environment.” “You walk [in town] and go, ‘oh, it’s such a pretty land-scape,’ but there’s all these beer cans and [trash],” Gilbert said.

The wards the volunteers focused on were on the East side of the city. According to Sutherland, she and Herman attended first and sec-ond ward meetings, where they told other attendees their plan.

“Sean kind of just men-tioned to everybody that we would be doing this,” she said. “They were really excit-ed and they applauded.”

Herman said he wants to spread awareness among citizens.

“I’d like to see it become this sort of cyclical thing were they in some way create incentive to make sure that students do really care about

University celebrates Earth Day with week long activities, events

Goal to support Climate Action Plan, become carbon neutral by 2040Nikita Lewis

Reporter

The University will be celebrating Earth Week to help raise awareness of environmental mat-ters and offer opportu-nities to help decrease the University’s carbon footprint.

Earth Week is recog-nized April 20-25 and will have several free events to educate people on pro-tecting the environment.

“The purpose of Earth Week is to get the University community engaged and involved with sustainability initia-

tives at BGSU, particularly the Climate Action Plan,” said Joshua Chamberland, student susta inabi l-ity assistant of Campus Operations.

The Climate Action Plan is the University’s com-mitment to be “carbon neutral” by 2040.

Earth week kicks off with the Toxic Communities: Exploring a nd Understa nd i ng Environmental Injustices Workshop, Eco Scavenger Hunt Kick off and the Earth Week info booth and plant giveaway.

This workshop and

info booth is focused on human-caused environ-mental issues that dispro-portionately affect minor-ity communities, accord-ing to University’s Earth Week website.

“Porsha Ray, student leadership assistant, will be hosting this event, which is focusing on envi-ronmental justice in under privileged areas,” said Director of Sustainability Nick Hennessy.

“On Monday, the Eco Scavenger Hunt Kickoff will take place from

Timeline of ZiggyThon

By Kendra ClarkCampus Editor

As a part of the fundraising for ZiggyThon, 150 students biked a total of 180 miles from Cincinnati to the University in the Bikes for Tikes ride.

They raised a total of $102,854.57, which was over their goal of $100,000. The bikers arrived at ZiggyThon at 4:30 p.m. then ran through a tun-nel created by the dancers who where waiting for them. They then made their way to the stage and performed a dance and unveiled their grand total that they raised to support the Children’s Mercy Hospital and the Miracle Children.

Tears were shed as students finished their long trip and joined the large crowd for ZiggyThon for the grand finale.

Senior Taylor Vail was among the many who felt overwhelmed after the ride was over.

“It feels weird,” she said. “The weekend felt like it would never end and now that it’s over, it’s very emotional. This ride has been my life for the past three days and now it’s over.”

Vail said she felt overwhelmed because she woke up at 5:30 a.m. that morning to make it to ZiggyThon on time.

“Also, to know that we made our goal is an

Senior serves as finance chair for Dance MarathonPrevious dancer, biker takes on new role, challenges

By Lily BartellIn-Focus Editor

Mel Dickey is a super hero. She is a senior communica-

tion major, originally from the Cleveland area, member of the Delta Gamma sorority, wants to be a University president and helps save lives. She’s been involved with Dance Marathon and Bikes For Tikes during all four years of her time at the University.

During Dickey’s freshman year, she was a dancer for Dance Marathon and was on her feet for the 32 long hours of the event. Her sophomore year she participated in Bikes For Tikes and rode the 180 miles from Cincinnati to Bowling Green. Her junior year she was a moral captain for the teal team and was involved with the mini marathon and ZiggyThon. This year, she is the finance chair for Dance Marathon and is in charge of collecting and taking care of the money raised.

She said she originally got involved because she thought it was just about dancing and

enjoyed dancing. “I just wanted to dance for 32

hours. I thought it was my kind of thing.”

However, over time, Dickey realized Dance Marathon was much bigger than she real-ized and was for a cause bigger than herself.

“I just fell in love with it,” she said. “Dance Marathon is huge on our campus. It’s becoming one of those traditions.”

One thing she was looking forward to the most this week-end was the reveal of the full amount of money raised for all the events involved with Dance Marathon. She said that the money isn’t the only thing to look forward to, but since she is the finance chair, it’s a big part of her job.

“It’s not all about the money,” she said. “At the end of the day, it’s about the kids and the families.”

Caleb Harrah is one of the teal moral captains this year and had the role of motivating danc-ers for ZiggyThon this week-end. Like Dickey, he is close to the cause.

“Dance Marathon is impor-tant for BG because it allows students to give back,” he said. “It lets them be a part of something that is bigger than all of us.”

Harrah also sees Dickey’s commitment to Da nce Marathon and the hard work she does to make it all possible.

“Mel has a huge dedication for this organization. She does everything she possibly can to improve things that have not worked in the past and to keep things that have worked to keep working,” he said. “She does every thing she can to help the kids at Mercy Children’s Hospital.”

Dickey is headed to Kent State next year for graduate school. She plans to earn a degree in higher education student personnel while working at Baldwin Wallace University to work toward her goals of help-ing and leading colleagues and students.

“I’m always trying to make the world a better place and making something better than I found it,” she said.

In addition to standing for 32 hours straight as a dance marathon dancer, graduate student Katie Stygles and her two sons, Robert and Lyndon, are one of the miracle families who spoke at this year’s Ziggython.

“We talk about our one reason, right? Well, I have two reasons,” Stygles said.

When Stygles was 30 weeks pregnant with her twin boys, she found out she was having complica-tions and went into the hospital on bed-rest at 31 weeks.

“They kept telling me ‘just a couple more days’ and kept pushing it and pushing it,” she said.

Robert did not have much amniotic f luid, which is the f luid that helps the lungs develop, and the doctors decid-ed to take the twins by

C-section at 34 weeks.“Robert was born first

and let out a big cry, which is pretty indicative of his personality,” Stygles said. “Lyndon was born two minutes later and we didn’t hear anything.”

Lyndon was not breath-ing and he needed to be intubated in the OR and once he started to breathe, he was taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

“They rolled their intu-bator by and I didn’t even get to touch them yet,” she said. “They had Robert laying on top of Lyndon because for multiples they help one another thrive. They were trying to help Lyndon survive, by having Robert on top of Lyndon.”

When she first saw them, they were both hooked up to breathing machines.

“It was pretty scary, but all the great doctors and nurses at Mercy Children’s were being really encour-

aging,” she said. They were in the NICU

for three weeks and when they came home they didn’t need any machines, which she said is rare.

Lyndon was also born w ith hydronephrosis, which is too much f luid in the kidneys which can lead to kidney failure.

He received continued care with his neurologist and had surgery to fix the problem when he was four.

“They are both tough lit-tle guys,” she said. “They really are my reason for everything. They are the reason I went back to school. They are proud big brothers to my other set of twins.”

Lyndon and Robert stayed at the event for 12 hours on Saturday and said they love being at the event.

“I love ever ything about Dance Marathon,” Robert said.

They said they liked

playing with the college students.

“I like playing tag” Lyndon said.

Stygles said she did not participate as a dancer last year and was only there for eight hours.

“I truly understand what this is about now,” she said. “I think kind of got it last year, but this is a huge deal.”

Cou r t ne y Crowe, Assistant Director of External Affairs, said the Stygles were really involved in all of dance marathon’s events, which made them “awesome” to work with.

Dance marathon works with a hospital coordi-nator to connect with the miracle families, Crowe said.

No matter what your per-ception of Dance Marathon might be, there is no argu-ing that it is a large recruit-ing tool for the University.

You don’t have to look any further than what Miracle Child Alexis Flynn said Saturday morning while telling her story. She announced that she wanted to come to Bowling Green State University for college and spoke about the support she has

received from the mem-bers of Dance Marathon.

She reminisced on an essay she wrote detailing her biggest supporters. Flynn knelt down and said, “I thought, ‘Hmm… how many people go to BGSU?’”

That was just one inci-dence, the second came when announcing the total for Dance Marathon’s Mini Marathon group. Norwalk high school came and announced that they raised $5,484.10. Their advisor is a University alumnus and one of their committee members will

be attending the University in the fall.

Those partnerships with high schools from around the area help recruitment, Director of Dance Marathon Alison Doughty said.

“BGSU Dance Marathon partners with high schools in the local area and they host their own dance marathon,” Doughty said. “Often times because they are working with us they decide to apply to BG and come here.”

Now it’s easier than ever

As the end of another school year approaches and I get one step closer to finally graduating, I count my blessings that not one person has asked what on earth I plan on doing with my education degree.

No, where I run into raised eyebrows and snick-ers is when I tell people I want to teach middle school. Typically the com-ments fall into one of three categories: the horrified, “Dear God, why? They’re such brats.”; the con-cerned, “Good luck, you’ll need it.”; and my person-al favorite, the delighted, “Great! We need more good teachers.”

I pay the most attention to that last one, because I agree. I also definitely agree that I will need some luck. I forgot about the fourth category, comments like, “I could never be a teacher.” I usually reply

with something along the lines of, “Excellent, then please do not.”

It sounds harsh out of context, but I promise I say it with a smile, as well as a lot of conviction, because I truly believe that. There are already too many teachers out there who do not abso-lutely love what they do and it is not fair to anybody, least of all the students.

There’s a scene in “Sister Act 2” when Whoopi Goldberg is trying to talk some sense into Rita, her troubled but talented stu-dent with a little inspi-ration from “Letters to a Young Poet” by Rainer Marie Rilke: “If you wake up in the mornin’ and

you can’t think of any-thing but singin’ first, then you’re supposed to be a singer, girl.”

I would say the same for teachers. We need teach-ers who love what they do so much that they could not think about doing any-thing else.

Rumor has it one of the earliest courses that an education major takes is used as a “determiner,” one that lets professors see who is in it for the long haul, as around a third switch out of the Education program after or before completion of the course.

Whether or not that’s true, it wouldn’t surprise me and I think those peo-ple should be commended, first for the self-awareness to know that it’s not what they want to do, second for the caring to switch because of that knowledge even if they had been pres-

sured into it and third for the smarts to do so before they are put back too far.

People call me crazy for wanting to teach middle school, but I take it as a compliment. After all, in order to consistently come up with new, effective ways to keep students engaged, you have to make a habit of thinking outside the box.

If you have anything less than a burning desire to spend your days form-ing the development of America’s youth - its future - from the kid with the obnoxious helicopter parents to the sweetest, most docile one to the one who fights you on every-thing, please do not pursue that career.

The work is too critical to accept anything less.

Respond to Abigail at thenews@bgnews.com

In about a month I will retire from the University after twenty-nine years.

I am relatively young—I’ll turn 60 this year—but I see this as a career change rather than retirement from work. My plans include literary translations, scholarly books and other writing projects.

Nowadays, staying in the same job for nearly three decades is a rarity. Job and career changes are the norm [although the Bureau of Labor Statistics offers no figures, because such changes are hard to define]. So in a way, I’m finally just acting normal.

I’ve been in school in one way or another for fifty-five years. Since my second and final promotion thirteen years ago, I’ve plateaued. It’s time for school to let out.

It has been a good job in lots of ways and a wonderful job in a few ways.

One of the most satisfy-ing things has been watch-

ing young people grow intellectually and person-ally, through their stud-ies and their experiential learning abroad.

Related to that, I’ve had the privilege of spending a total of four and a half of those years directing our Academic Year Abroad in Salzburg, Austria. My life and my family’s lives have been enriched by living in Austria and by our friend-ships there.

Our Max Kade Writer-in-Residence program has also been a real boon. I’ve been lucky enough to get to know or make friends with creative people who have visited us here.

I started translating the authors’ texts so they could

hold bilingual readings and a new world opened up. There’s nothing I’m better at or get more satisfaction from than translating literature.

Some professors turn to administration as a career change. It’s a way to get a raise, to get ahead and to live up to new challenges.

But the administrative parts of my job were my least favorite, because I’m not naturally good at them. Doing them well required extra time and concentra-tion and double and triple checking. And even then I made errors or didn’t keep up. Those tasks rarely involved satisfaction, just relief when they were over. I’d be doing no one any favors, myself included, by turning administrator.

Of course, I could rededi-cate myself to teaching. But I’ve been teaching for thir-ty-seven years and in spite of enjoying it [and in spite of a rich variety of courses

and students], I’m fading as a teacher. I wouldn’t want to spend my last years as a has-been.

And there’s also schol-arly work—a never-ending source of interest, renewal and satisfaction. But the university has changed. More and more of what we do is driven by administra-tive initiatives and so much service is asked of the faculty that grading has displaced scholarship as the thing you have to do on your own time - and research gets done on borrowed time.

My wife and I will stay in Bowling Green. We have too many dear friends here to leave and the town, with the university, has become our home.

I know I’m fortunate to be able to change my life and I aim to make the most of it.

before to use Dance Marathon as a tool, the University doesn’t even have to put forth much effort.

Because of social media and YouTube, when a prospective student searches “BGSU” they can find Dance Marathon very easily, and that has happened mul-tiple times Doughty said.

It reaches further than the high school students though, Doughty said that some Miracle Children themselves have come to the University after being a part of Dance Marathon.

Along with those Miracle Children, three members of this year’s leader-ship team had experiences with Dance Marathon in high school.

“[Dance Marathon] is a huge recruit-ment initiative,” Doughty said.

Vice President for Student Affairs Jill Carr said that the most important part of the event in terms of recruiting is that it is all student run.

“The biggest thing is it allows our stu-dents to reach out beyond the campus and beyond themselves to those who are in great need,” Carr said. “Being with fami-lies and children from children’s miracle network, giving students the opportunity to do that in this age group is clearly a developmental moment.”

While how much money is raised for Toledo Mercy Children’s Hospital is important, maybe just as important is that Dance Marathon has the ability to reach prospective students and give them a taste of what the University is about.

“It brings in the type of people who are willing to give back and stand up for what they believe in. I think that is what the BGSU community is all about,” Doughty said.

municates with anyone outside of the University. This includes family relations, alumni, community outreach, faculty, staff and graduate students.

“They are super appreciative of every-thing we do,” Crowe said. “It’s really great to get their support back. We are able to do so much for them and its a really good working relationship.”

Miracle Children provide inspiration to dance marathon, Crowe said.

“They are the real life connection,” she said.

Crowe said she wanted to get more involved with the families, which is why she took her current position.

“The first couple of events I went to, I saw that there were always Miracle Children at the event,” Crowe said. “When they tell their stories, they obviously pull you in and get you attached to the cause and I think that’s why I am where I am.”

amazing feeling,” she said. Junior and biker Lexie Lawnicak said she

made the trip because she is going to be a teacher when she graduates and she wants the children to have a chance to be in her classroom.

Lawnicak described the trip as “crazy and amazing and very emotional.”

“At the last night, the wind was really strong and it was getting hard to ride,” she said. “But I knew we had to finish and get here on time so I kept going.”

Austin Flores, one of the assistant direc-tor and internal affairs, oversaw the chair responsible for the riders in Bikes for Tikes.

He described the event as riders bike 60 miles every day for a weekend to make it from Cincinnati to the University, making 180 miles overall.

“In order to become a rider, students have to raise $450 to qualify,” he said.

There were many people who wanted to ride, but they only have 150 spots, he said.

“We start in the fall to register,” he said. “We had over 230 people register. The stu-

dents that were chosen were the first to reach that goal of $450 and get a spot.”

While riding, the students will stop and sleep in local churches and schools that Bikes for Tikes has built a relationship with.

“It’s nice to have these partnerships,” he said. “The riders will go through some small towns and it’s almost like a big event for some people. They hold up signs to sup-port the riders that come through and it’s almost like a parade for them.”

These signs and support from the com-munities was one of junior Brooke Kranz’s favorite parts of the trip. She was apart of the core committee and biked since her freshman year.

“It feels amazing to be back,” she said. “The weather this year was rough but didn’t effect the people. Everyone was so positive the whole time.”

Her other favorite part of the weekend was when they were told how much they had raised in Bikes for Tikes.

“We got to know before the others,” she said. “They showed us a poster with the total and we all started sobbing when we realized we reached our goal. It was a phe-nomenal feeling.”

BGSU Dance Marathon, a non-profit student organization, set out to raise $50,000 with their annual ZiggyThon event.

Every year, an on-campus venue is filled with live entertainment, music, food, games and hundreds of Dance Marathon participants.

Heavy fundraising, critical planning and efficiently executing the event is crucial to a successful ZiggyThon.

Every event held by the organization comes out of their limited budget.

Staci Thompson, director of financial affairs, said the cost of running events is made possible through hard work and donations.

“We start off by using as many cam-pus resources we can. We apply for SBC [Student Budget Committee] funds and our core committee members take on a lot of the cost,” Thompson said.

Donations and registration fees cov-ered expenses for ZiggyThon, including food and T-shirt costs.

Thompson said the organization does everything they can to utilize budget spending, avoiding the need to use donor money.

“We try not to use any of the donor money for actual [event costs], those are essentially going straight to the hospital,” she said.

Thompson said the majority of dona-tions are made via social media.

“It’s changed a lot in the past few years,” she said. “We used to get a lot of checks coming in but now we’re get-ting a lot more smaller donations from participants’ social media.”

Thompson said receiving donations is all about the effort and delivery.

“It’s a combination of letters, emails, and social media. Once you ask people, they donate,” she said.

After receiving necessary dona-tions, Dance Marathon planning goes into effect.

Sarah Hauck, assistant director of

planning, said choosing the perfect location for ZiggyThon is based on accessibility and aesthetics.

“We have three options including the Stroh Center, Rec Center and Perry Field House,” she said. “The Stroh Center actually costs us money, the Rec Center just got renovated, so the Field House is the perfect venue for this event.”

Hauck says despite the amount of activities and food involved in ZiggyThon, financing the event is not an issue.

“We try to get everything donated. We’ve never really run into finan-cial problems because this has gone on so long,” she said. “We have a revenue fund.”

Hauck said that after the location is set, Dance Marathon members pick the theme and date of the event.

“We come together and pick a theme,” she said. “We decided that since this is our twentieth year we should do a cel-ebration of 20 years of miracles.”

Setting a date is based upon Sibs and Kids weekend as well as weather because it affects Dance Marathon’s Bikes for Tikes event.

According to Hauck, planning for next year’s ZiggyThon is already in effect.

The event greatly impacts the lives of Miracle Children and families of Mercy Children’s Hospital, but Dance Marathon members believe it also ben-efits the student body.

Thomas Hamway, fundraising chair, said Dance Marathon benefits the University by bringing in new students and bringing together current students and alumni.

“We have Miracle Children that actu-ally end up going to BGSU because of Dance Marathon,” he said. “It brings students together because they see how awesome it is and it keeps people here.”

A hardworking core committee, dedicated dancers, donations, careful planning and a passion to help children is what makes every Dance Marathon event successful.

It has been a long journey back to Bowling Green for former Falcon Michael Huger, who was introduced as the new head men’s basketball coach Friday afternoon.

It began in 1989 when he started his collegiate playing career; it continued when he got his degree in the summer of 1994. Now, 22 years after his last game at Anderson Arena, everything has come full circle.

His dream has come true.

“I’m thrilled and honored to become the men’s head basket-ball coach at my alma mater,” Huger said. “This is a dream come true.”

Being in this position is something Huger has envi-sioned in the past, so when he got the call that the University wanted to interview him, he was excited.

Athletic Director Chris Kingston and Senior Associate Athletic Director Kit Hughes sat down with Huger for about two hours during the Final Four in Indianapolis.

He was the first person

they spoke with, and they were immediately impressed with Huger. Impressed so much that it is fair to say they found it hard not to compare him to the other candidates, Kingston said.

“That’s something I battled with, because I’ve done a lot of searches and you don’t want to do that. There were so many quality, prepared men and at the end of the day that’s what I was combating I think, to be truthful,” Kingston said. “That’s how good he is.”

Falcons end weekend with walkoffNick Glanzman plays hero alongside strong weekend pitching

By Brandon ShriderSports Editor

A lightly hit, inside-out, bloop single to shallow right field saved the weekend for the Bowling Green baseball team.

Both teams were scoreless through eight before freshman starting pitcher Zac Carey, again, shut Western Michigan out in the top of the ninth.

The Falcons now had a chance to take the game and the series.

Two-hole hitter Brandon Howard led off the inning with a five-pitch walk. Then, a mind-numbing moment benefitted the Falcons. Opposing starter Keegan Akin — on his first pitch to Trey Keegan — stopped his windup mid-stride as the homeplate umpire quickly jumped up and signaled a balk, moving Howard into scoring position.

Keegan, just two pitches in, laid down a sacrifice bunt back to Akin on the mound, moving Howard to third with just one out.

The Broncos elected to intentionally walk four-hole hitter Matt Smith, opening the possibility for an inning-ending dou-ble play while bringing up utility, reserve infielder Nick Glanzman.

Glanzman entered the first game of the series as a late-inning defensive replace-

ment, not registering a plate appearance. He didn’t receive any playing in game two — the first of a Saturday doubleheader.

Glanzman’s late-game heroics weren’t rusty though.

As Howard, arguably the fastest bas-erunner for BG, waited just 90 feet away from giving BG the win, Glanzman stepped to the plate looking to just put the ball in play.

He did just that.After taking the first pitch for a ball,

Glanzman strided forward, kept his hips back, his hands in and drove the ball over the first baseman’s head. Howard crossed home as the bench stormed the field, chasing Glanzman toward centerfield.

“I was just looking to put the ball in play, really. Wherever it was put — push, pull — just try to get a base hit, win the game,” Glanzman said. “He gave me a fastball outside and I just went after it and poked it over the first baseman’s head. It worked out well.”

“It felt good, it felt really good,” he added.

BG beat WMU, 1-0, in the series’ rubber match.

The hit was Glanzman’s second of the

The Bowling Green track and field team competed in two different meets this past weekend, adding another Mid-American Conference automatic qualifying mark and school record to this sea-son’s resume.

Redshirt senior Brittany Sinclair was the lone com-petitor for the team at the Virginia Challenge and broke a record that has stood for 23 years.

The record came in the 400 hurdles, running a mark of 58.97 seconds. She is now top 20 in the event in the East region. The time is the fastest in the MAC this year, beating

her own previous top time of 59.77 seconds from last week. Sinclair finished fourth in the event out of 30 runners.

She also ran the 400, run-ning a personal best time of 55.51 seconds. She moves to third in the MAC for the event and fifth fastest in school history.

Sinclair now holds three individual school records in addition to three relay records.

The team also competed at the Cardinal Invitational, the track that will be used for the MAC championships.

Sophomore Raven Porter led the team, set-ting a new personal best in the high jump with a mark of 5 feet 7 inches. The mark

was good for second in the meet and earned the team another MAC automatic qualifying mark.

Overall, the Falcons earned five top-three finishes at the meet, despite entering ath-letes in events that they had never competed in.

Redshirt sophomore Mackenzie McMillin, having never run an event shorter than 3000, placed second in the 1500 with a time of 4 minutes 46.24 seconds. The team’s other second place finish came from the 400 relay squad with a mark of 47.71 seconds.

Redshirt sophomore Taylor Rambo posted a season best mark in the 200, run-ning a time of 25.14 seconds.

She finished third overall in the event.

Sophomore Gabrielle Edwards also saw a career-best performance, running a mark of 12.52 seconds in the 100. The time was just .02 sec-onds faster than her previous best mark.

“We had a good look at the facility today,” head coach Lou Snelling said. “Even though we competed in many off events, we had some nice individual results. Those were highlighted by Raven reaching the MAC auto mark in the high jump.”

The team will continue to look for more automatic qualifiers when they enter the Gina Relays in Michigan on Thursday.

As an assistant coach Huger has been to three NCA A Tournaments, one with the University of Miami and two with George Mason University, but that is something he failed to do as a player at the University.

That is not something he plans to fail at as a coach at the University.

“Our goal now is to win a MAC Championship. We want to be the first team to get back to the NCAA Tournament since 1968; that’s a long time,” Huger said. “It means more to me to win at Bowling Green than just a coach. This is bigger than just coaching, this is what we’ve built. We want to build on that and continue to grow, so it means the world to me. More so than just any other coach.”

On Friday morning he met the players that he would be working to achieve that goal with. Although they didn’t talk much about his game plan or his vision, the players were excited, said junior Spencer Parker.

“It was a great reac-tion, hearing that he was someone that came from Bowling Green,” Parker

said. “He is an alumni, he has been through this pro-cess. He is somebody we can all look up to.”

Now that the introduc-tory process is over, Huger can focus on what is next for him and the program. That next step is recruiting and making sure that the recruits who have already committed to play at BG, stay at BG.

“Now is the opportunity to make sure everything is okay,” Huger said. “I spoke with [the signed recruits] and everything seems fine. I still want to introduce myself and go over and see them.”

The Falcons still have one scholarship left to use, and they will use that to find the best player avail-able. Whether that is a high school recruit or some sort of transfer will remain to be seen.

“You can’t say ‘I’m going to get a transfer and we don’t get a transfer.’ Can’t say ‘I’m going to get a fresh-man and then get a junior college kid.’” Huger said. “So just the best available fit for us and our program.”

game, registering just his fourth RBI on the season.

Carey was as much a hero as Glanzman.

After turning in an eight-inning one-run perfor-mance a week ago, Carey upped himself in the cru-cial game for the Falcons.

Carey mixed speeds, hit his spots and let his defense make the plays to keep them in the game.

“With a lot of wind blow-ing in, I was just trying to throw strikes and keep it low. Get groundballs and let my infield turn double plays,” Carey said.

But keeping the hitters off-balance was the key for him from start to finish.

“My changeup was my pitch to go to today,” he said. “My changeup set everything up. I got perfect placement and had a lot of good drop.”

He set the hitters up

with his changeup and then located his fastball, he added.

With the dual perfor-mances from Glanzman and Carey, the Falcons won the Mid-American Conference series 2-1 and their third consecutive MAC series win.

The win came after BG dropped the second game of the series — the first of a Saturday doubleheader.

“I knew we needed that win. We kind of gave the first one away a little bit, so I knew we needed to come back and win the series,” Carey said.

BG was leading 4-1 after the second inning before scoring a run apiece in the fourth and fifth innings. Despite the 6-1 lead, the Falcons couldn’t find a way to finish.

Starter Andrew Lacinak — pitching a near per-fect game through seven innings — found himself in an eighth-inning jam.

Cody Callaway came on

to replace Greg Basalyga at third base — a move that appeared to be a non-issue on its surface.

The first batter hit a shot sharply down the third base line, but Callaway made an unthinkable snag and fired the ball to Randy Righter to first to retire the first batter.

“There were some ter-rific, top 10 plays defen-sively, but then also some plays that would make the blooper reel, too,” said head coach Danny Schmitz.

The second batter then grounded out to second.

Kurt Hoekstra, the Broncos’ best hitter, then singled to right center, proving to be the start of a WMU run.

Callaway had a chance to make another play, a much easier play to end the inning, but instead, he scooped up the grounder and fired an errant throw to first, putting two on with two outs.

The error capped off a

total of 18 errors between the two teams during the weekend series.

Jared Kujawa then pulled a three-run shot over the right field wall, cutting the BG lead to 6-4.

“Andrew Lacinak pitched a great game, but it’s unfor-tunate we didn’t make a routine play. And then he made probably his only bad pitch of the game — the pitch to Kujawa — and Kujawa made him pay for it,” Schmitz said.

The Broncos scored another two runs in the ninth to tie the game before pushing across another two in the 10th and stealing the second game of the series.

“We’re starting to play good and that’s back-to-back series’ we’ve won. We’re trying to make a run at the MAC after a slow start to the season,” Carey said.

BG is now 14-20 over-all and 7-8 in the MAC as they prepare for a midweek game against Youngstown State on Tuesday.

The Bowling Green softball team played two consecu-tive doubleheaders this past weekend, getting a win and loss against Ohio on Friday and dropping both games against Akron on Saturday.

The first game against the Bobcats was a 7-2 loss. The Falcons had seven hits in the game compared to Ohio’s two.

“We’ve been struggling with our confidence,” head coach Shannon Salsburg said. “Confidence is a funny thing, because one kid gets a hit, and next thing you know, everybody feels good and you get on a roll.”

In the fourth inning of the second game, confi-dence came back for the Falcons behind sopho-more Amanda Durham. With a teammate on base, Durham hit a two-run homerun to break a score-less tie and put the Falcons in the lead.

“Durham was great, she was a catalyst for us,” Salsburg said. “She’s a kid

that has high energy for us, and it was great to see her hit that homerun and get us going in game two.”

In the next inning, the team sent 10 batters to the plate, collecting four hits. From those hits the Falcons scored another four runs while leaving three batters on base.

The homerun by Durham was the second of her colle-giate career and her second against Ohio. Her last one came last season against the same Bobcats pitcher.

“If you put the ball in play, good things happen. I was absolutely not going up to the plate thinking about hitting a homerun,” Durham said. “I was think-ing ‘do your job, put the ball in play and make good things happen.’”

The Bobcats cut the lead in half with three runs in the top of the sixth, but that was the last of the scoring for Ohio. With one more Falcon run in the bot-tom of the same inning, the team got the split and the win, 7-3.

Junior pitcher Braiden Dillow got the win for the Falcons, allowing three

runs and five hits in a little under six innings. Dillow kept Ohio score-less through five of those innings. She is now 5-7 in the MAC.

“Braiden threw a great game. She has had her challenges in the last month, and she has had to fight through,” Salsburg said. “I’m very proud of the way she went out there and competed. That’s the Braiden that we know can help us win.”

The doubleheader against Akron went the exact opposite for the Falcons. The Zips scored a combined 14 runs in both games compared to Bowling Green’s one.

The Falcons had seven hits total in the two games.

“It was a disappointing day,” Salsburg said. “We have put ourselves into a bit of a hole in MAC play, and we need to figure out where we stand and what we can do.”

The Falcons are now 5-9 in the MAC and 14-23 over-all. Their next game comes against Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne at Meserve Field on Tuesday.

Brittany Plaszewski registers lone win for Falcons in fourth flight matchBG tennis team drops final meet of season

By Kaleb PageReporter

Unable to field a full lineup set up a 7-0 defeat for the BGSU Falcons tennis team at the hands of the Ball State Cardinals.

With one doubles match in hand Ball State only needed to win one of the two matches in play. Ball State was in the posi-tion to get that crucial doubles point with their nationally-ranked duo of Rosalinda Calderon and Courtney Earnest.

Calderon and Earnest took on the Falcon duo of Harley Hutchinson and Megan Miller. The top flight duo, for most of this season, fell 6-1.

In singles play, the day was all Cardinals. The results are as follows: flight one Courtney Wild defeat-ed Miller 6-1, 6-3, Earnest defeated Hutchinson 6-0, 6-0, Toni Ormond defeated Emily Witt 6-2, 6-1, Ashlyn Rang defeated Antonina Farrar 6-1, 6-1 and Bethany Moore defeated Sydney Seeley 6-0, 6-0.

“We saw good ener-

gy from the girls today,” said BGSU head coach Olga Elkin. “We are ready to have a great practice tomorrow and hopefully finish out the season on Sunday with a win.”

That final match of the season would come on a road trip to Ypsilanti, MI to face the Eagles of Eastern Michigan.

The final match of the season could not lend the first win of the year for this young Falcons tennis squad as EMU would win the event 6-1.

The lone win in this final match of the year came from Sophomore Brittany Plaszewski. Plaszewski was in a fourth flight match against Eastern Michigan’s Daphine Friedrichs.

The first set was taken by Friedrichs 2-6, but Plaszewski would come back in the second set to win and set up a tiebreak. In that tiebreak Plaszewski would take it 1-0 and take the match.

The rest of the Falcons in singles action were downed by their Eagles counter-part. In the first flight Klara

Supejova defeated Miller 7-5, 6-4, Ani Gogvadze defeated Hutchinson 6-4, 6-3, Andrea Martinovska defeated Emily Witt 7-6, 6-4, Anna Veleva defeat-ed Farrar 6-2, 6-1 and Alejandra Barcelo defeated Seeley 6-0, 6-1.

As the season closes it gives time to reflect and move toward turning things around for the 2015-16 season.

The 0-17 record is an obvious disappointment but it has to take into account the multiple first year players on the squad, lack of experience and injuries. This year was a learning experience for all involved and it will take a lot of hard work to get back on the winning side of the ledger.

It will be important to build on the shining moments shown at various times by the likes of Miller, Hutchinson, Witt and co. With a full season under this young squads’ belt and upperclassmen Drew Fillis coming back from injury it will be time for this team to make a splash next season.

the community they live in,” he said.Herman said BG CleanUp was a project Freedom

could “see tangible results from.”In Ohio, littering is a third degree misdemeanor.

Penalties range from fines to public service cleaning up litter, to both.

Fostering a sense of community, Herman said, is what he wants to achieve.

“It’s really just about getting people together, get-ting volunteers who want to help out and sort of see a cleaner, better neighborhood,” Herman said. “It’s as simple as that.”

11 a.m. to 2 p.m., starting in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union lobby. The team that visits the most clue locations will be awarded prizes during an award ceremony on Friday,” Chamberland said.

During Earth week, the University’s alumna, Joyce Barry, author of “Standing Our Ground: Women, Environmental Justice and the Fight to End Mountaintop Removal,” will be speaking on the women lead-ers of the Anti-Big Coal move-ment and their battle for sustain-able communities at the Union Theater on April 21 at 7:30 p.m.

“She will be talking about how mountain top removal impacts the environment and how women are involved with these movements,“ Chamberland said. “Also how feminism intersects with environmentalism and their relationship with mountain top removal.”

Not only is Earth Week inform-ing the community about how to protect the environment, but also on Friday several students will actually put that into action.

The Ecology Conservation will be restoring a native prairie gar-den on the University’s campus.

These plants once dominated the expansive area once known as the “Black Swamp”, but are now rarely found. Therefore, on Friday several members of the community are coming together to fix that.

“Their used to be a lot of plants before the swamp was drained, so restoring the garden is an amazing idea, “ said sophomore Alexandria Towns.

The restoration of the prairie garden is also a service opportu-nity for students.

“What makes this Earth Week different is the variety of col-laborations we have with other student organizations, so this year should be really fun,” Hennessy said.

EARTH WEEK From Page 2

the love and connections we’ve made with the students; the human kindness is overwhelm-ing. The students inspire me and we mark our calendars as soon as we know the date of the next one. [Regan Erskine] knows what the money is going toward and loves it.”

Regan Erskine agrees. She said she “loved all of it.”

Miracle Child AJ McKenzie and his parent appreciated the efforts and support of Dance Marathon as well.

“My favorite part is the people,” the 11-year old McKenzie said. “I love knowing that college students are dancing 32 hours just for me.”

His mother Kerri McKenzie agrees.“It’s a great feeling, knowing that all of

these students love and support AJ,” Kerrie McKenzie said. “They’re doing a great job, everyone is so warm and welcoming; we’re beyond appreciative.”

The Dance Marathon bikers, who started their journey on Thursday afternoon, ran in at 4:30 through the crowd of supporters. The bikers rode a bus to Cincinnati and rode 180 miles back to the University. They ran in through an arch of balloons and did a special line dance for the crowd. After much anticipa-tion, a biker from each color team stood on stage and revealed the grand total they raised with numbers on the back of their capes.

Everyone in the room burst into tears as the bikers turned around on stage and revealed the bikers grand total, which was $102,854.57.

“This is the highest amount that the bikers have raised in [Dance Marathon] history,” said Entertainment Chair Kelly Savela.

In past years, the bikers have come close to breaking $100,000 with numbers like $98,000, but this year they broke it.

“The first leg of the race wasn’t too bad, I biked last year so I was used to it,” said senior John Clevenger. “We slept in high school gym-nasiums at night and started biking again at 7:00 a.m. The third day started getting tough. I looked down on my bike and saw a picture of my Miracle Child, it was worth it. Dominic’s mom [his team’s Miracle Child] kept send-ing me photos and videos to keep me going and all the pain went away, like we made the miracle happen.”

To help culminate the ceremony, everyone in the room gathered into a circle of hope, which represented the continuous struggle the families and children go through each day. A Miracle Child came around and cut people’s wristbands off while the lights were down and sophomore Surina Gangwani sang “I Hope You Dance.”

The morale captain of each team did a final line dance before the grand total of the week-end was revealed.

Albert Perera, second year grad student and a morale captain of the purple team felt grate-ful for the experience.

“My team hyped themselves, I only helped,” he said. “I started doing DM in undergrad and had to continue. This is a special time when the whole campus come together and it sets us up for a philanthropic life,” he said.
