CAMPUSBRIEFBoard approves leasing of land for new health center

The Board of Trustees met Friday and approved a resolution authorizing the lease of the land for the new Student Health Center.

The lease applies to the land at the corner of Wooster St. and South College Drive and will last for approximately 40 years.

During that time the Wood County Hospital will build and operate a student health center on the land.

The land will be leased instead of sold to ensure whatever the usage is, it serves the University, said Sheri Stoll, chief financial officer.

A committee with members from both Wood County and the University will work to design and build the new health center, Stoll said.

“We want to be certain that what gets

designed and built there architecturally, it works visually with the rest of the campus in that area,” Stoll said.

This is because the area will be a key entry point to the University, she said.

The hospital is paying $1 to lease the land, which is a nominal amount and is very com-mon in the real estate industry, she said.

“What we’re really getting is the value of the service they’re providing,” Stoll said.

The fact that Wood County Hospital will run the new health center may also allow for more access to resources the University wouldn’t be able to provide on its own, Stoll said.

“The range of things they can service on site would definitely be enhanced,” she said.

Students can commemorate their experiences at the University by donating money to the Student Legacy Campaign.

The money will eventually go toward changing the appearance of the University through the construction of a gateway to cam-pus. The gateway will be placed where the current administration building is.

The idea of the campaign came from the University’s past, as there was originally a gateway in that spot around 1920, said Ryan Sowers, junior and chair of the student committee for the campaign.

“We’re returning to tradition with a modern twist and setting students up for the future,” he said. “It’s sort of a tip of the hat to tradition.”

The idea of a campus gateway was in the University master plan, but President Mary Ellen Mazey brought the gateway up as the possible focus of a stu-dent campaign when talking to Sowers.

Sowers is one of six students who are on the committee for the campaign.

“Every student was chosen because of proven leadership, connections and a true passion for Bowling Green,” Sowers said.

Alex Solis, Sarah Swegan, David Neely, Evan Colyer and Beau Slater are also students on the committee.

Together, the six students donated $5,000 to kick off the campaign.

“We thought it was necessary because we can’t be asking oth-ers to give when we haven’t given ourselves,” Sowers said. “We wanted to show them we’re buy-ing in, we believe in what we’re doing.”

That day, the BGSU Foundation matched the students’ donation

ATMOSPHEREHIGH ENERGY

By Erin CoxSocial Media Editor

Nathaniel Motte of 3OH!3 said in an email prior to the homecoming concert that he likes to create more of a party atmosphere at a concert rather than just performing — the audience at Sunday night’s homecoming concert said it was exactly that.

3OH!3 and Cobra Starship performed at the Stroh Center for the homecoming concert last night, sponsored by the University Activities Organization.

Senior Nick Daverio said 3OH!3 started off the show creating a party atmosphere just by doing as much as possible to get the crowd going.

“It was really good,” Daverio said. “They put on a good show.”Junior Sarah Payne said she was excited to see 3OH!3 because she knew more of their songs.“I was obsessed with them a couple of summers ago,” Payne said. “It was good, fun and

high energy.”The duo kept the audience involved throughout their performance by getting them to

make the 3OH!3 sign with their hands, singing and jumping.“They kept telling us to dance and they kept it unique to Bowling Green, so it really made

the concert fun,” Payne said.Freddie and Frieda Falcon joined 3OH!3 on stage early in the concert and the crowd on the

floor pushed their seats to the side to get closer to the stage. Sean Foreman of 3OH!3 also came into the crowd and sang to a few audience members.

“I loved it. It was so much fun,” freshman Elizabeth Mitchell said. “They played all the songs I wanted and some I never heard of before.”

3OH!3’s stage also had two mountain lions with green lasers shooting out of their eyes on either side.

Cobra Starship did not keep the mountain lions, but per-formed second and kept the high-energy going.

Nicole Busdeker, a senior at Woodmore High School in Elmore, Ohio, said she came to see 3OH!3, but thought Cobra Starship was phenomenal.

“I thought I only knew two of Cobra Starship’s songs, but it turned out I knew a lot more. And the lead singer was really hot,” Busdeker said.

Gabe Saporta, lead singer of Cobra Starship, said the show was awesome and he had fun in Bowling Green throughout the day Sunday as well.

“We got to go to the rec cen-ter today, which was cool,” Saporta said.

Cobra Starship opened with “Good Girls Go Bad” and the audience started dancing right away.

“Lots of jumping around and screaming. It was a great con-cert,” Busdeker said.

Payne had attended the Kid Cudi concert during the homecoming of 2010, but she said this year’s concert was better.

“This one is more partying, fun, dance music,” Payne said.

Busdeker said she had seen 3OH!3 at Warped Tour, but she thought the atmosphere was better at the Stroh.

“The whole concert was high energy, it was great,” Busdeker said.

I’m so annoyed that the library actually closes ... let alone at 12 a.m. There are a lot of people who use the library to catch up on all their homework at once, and sometimes that takes a few hours. Or how about that project that’s randomly due in two days? I always hit my productive stride around 11:15, but I have to stop, lose what I was doing, pack up and return everything. Why? Shouldn’t we be able to keep it open 24/7? It’s a library on a college campus for Pete’s sakes.— #ANGRY RANT

A new fire has been lit in the Middle East.

Nonviolent and violent pro-tests have sprung up through-out the Middle East, Europe and Australia since the out-break of Muslim protests at the beginning of September.

While some of the protests have remained peaceful, this was not the case for the pro-testing in Cairo, Egypt and Benghazi, Libya.

By the end of the first week, countries like Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Sudan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and India were all having protests of some kind, either peacefully or violently.

In Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the home of the original Egyptian protests for Mubarak’s dis-missal in the winter and spring of 2011 and outside of the American embassy burning the American flag, Egyptians clashed with the police forces. Hundreds were arrested out-side of the embassy.

While the chaos was hap-pening in Cairo, the American

embassy in Benghazi was stormed by Islamic extremists. In the panic and the fighting, the American ambassador, Chris Stevens, had been sep-arated from his bodyguards and was found dead, prompt-ing a strong reaction from the United States.

The Obama administra-tion’s reaction was firm when it came to finding those that were behind Steven’s death. Obama’s reaction also includ-ed sending Marines into Libya, putting warships off the coast and issuing drones over Benghazi the same night. But Obama was quick to point out that the people protesting were not the same faces that were pushing for their freedoms during the original Arab Springs.

The new faces protesting are now looking to do some-thing about the “Innocence of Muslim” video posted on Youtube in July.

Overall, the American reaction to the protests said that it was uncalled for, but the Muslims had no reason to be protesting. The UN Security Council found the attacks on the diplomatic posts unjustifiable.

An amateur movie trailer made by an Egyptian Coptic Christian living in California was the fuel to the fire of the

new protests. The movie trail-er, which lasted for roughly fourteen minutes, depicts Prophet Muhammad, the Father of the Islamic faith, as a womanizer and a molester.

The Muslims were offend-ed by the representation of their Father in the video. In the Islamic faith, it is against Muslim’s core beliefs to have any visual representations of their deities and of any living creatures. The belief, called aniconism, is found in many other religions, even though it is not as strictly imposed as it is in Islam.

While Western countries have the right to free speech, some Middle Eastern coun-tries do not have that simple freedom or want the freedoms that Americans have.

Some Americans tend to not grasp how life would be as a citizen if they did not have the right to speak out. Western beliefs and ideologies do not match up to Middle Eastern countries’ beliefs and ideologies.

The difference makes the differences in opinion a cata-lyst for the protesting in the Middle East and America’s reaction to the protesting.

While being a young democ-racy, citizens in countries like Egypt are testing the bound-aries of their free speech, or at

least the younger generations are even though the US gov-ernment says that they are not the ones protesting.

The groups protesting are also ones that were silenced by the previous government, but are now growing with the newly granted freedoms of a democracy in progress.

Even though the video trig-gered the new wave of pro-tests, the Muslims are protest-ing to ask their governments to take a stand against American influences and powers.

Protestors in Tahrir Square were quoted saying that they would remain in the Square until the new president would draw a firm line against the U.S., even though there is nothing certain the protestors are looking for.

But will the U.S, step down and allow the Middle East to rebuild itself? The general reaction, if the U.S. should remain in the Middle East, is abundant, regardless of how the citizens of these countries feel.

I think it is time the U.S. takes a step back and allows countries like Egypt and Libya to regrow and mature into democracies.

Students refute apathetic stigmaWhen I first heard the news of President Obama’s visit to Bowling Green State University, I was over-whelmed with excitement and pride.

As planning for the visit began and I had time to let the news sink in, I recog-nized two important lessons to take away from this expe-rience: students care and Ohio- especially the BGSU population— matters.

This past spring, I became involved in efforts to educate students about what Obama has done for students and our country.

Throughout the follow-ing months, the interest and involvement from students has increased along with the importance of this election.

As President of BGSU College Democrats, I have noticed the student body, as a whole, is excited about the elections and is eager to get involved.

Students have helped with

everything from registering over 4,000 University students to vote to educating others about the important issues of this election. The stereotype of students being apathetic does not stand true at BGSU.

Secondly, President Obama’s visit reveals the importance of voters at the University.

While I’m sure many have had enough of weaving through the sea of students with clip boards in hand ask-ing if they have updated their voter registration, it is impor-

tant to notice the vitality of those efforts.

We are in a swing county in the most important swing state and we need to get stu-dent’s voices heard.

So embrace this opportu-nity, enjoy the excitement of today’s event and get involved to ensure your voice does not go unheard.

Colleen RyanPresident of

College Democratssckryan@falcon.bgsu.edu

College voters can swing the electionReminder to college voters: you have a major exam com-ing up November 6.

You can ace this exam using the knowledge, resources and diverse thought that are a part of your university experience. After all, you have much at stake in this election.

The process of determin-ing votes should reflect the complex roles of our elected leaders, who must balance the needs of many constit-

uents, consider the long-term impact and fairness of decisions and have a broad vision about how limited resources can best be used.

Your vote should be a judgment of which poli-cies, which contrasting proposals and, ultimately, which candidates best fur-ther these broad governing principles.

But there’s a lot of cam-paign money being spent to ensure that campaigns will be won by isolating narrow voting blocs and pandering to their self-interests.

This is a historic time for voting college students: you have the opportunity — indeed, the responsibil-ity — to help tip the bal-ance toward the thought-ful voting our democracy needs.

You have unequalled access to the information needed to objectively eval-uate voting options.

Beyond libraries and classrooms, you engage with faculty and students with diverse personal experience and academic and career interests — a

microcosm of our nation. Foreign students help you to understand America’s role abroad.

All these resources and engagements have pre-pared you to make sound voting decisions.

So think through your positions on the issues and candidates and be properly and accurately registered to vote by October 9 and vote, without fail, November 6.

“I think it’s a wonder-ful initiative by this group of students,” said Theresa Popp Braun, chair of the BGSU Foundation. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to develop a culture of giv-ing for the University now while students are there, hopefully it carries over to when they are alumni.”

The goal is to raise $250,000 in two years and to have 50 percent of the student body participate, Sowers said.

“We want every student to understand everyone is important to the livelihood of the campus,” Sowers said. “The key mission is to foster a culture of giving.”

Sowers said the cam-paign is working to inspire students to give back, get involved and care about the livelihood of the campus.

“I believe a beautiful campus can do a lot to enhance the experience of students,” Sowers said. “It shows this is what students gave back to campus.”

The gateway may also connect the community and the campus, Sowers said.

“BGSU is the cornerstone

of this community,” he said. “Sometimes students forget how important we are to the community and how important the community is to us.”

Sowers has seen a posi-tive response from students so far and the committee is working to inform students and get its name out there.

“The first step is to teach students how important private donorship is,” Sowers said. “Donating money shows current and future support of Bowling Green.”

Solis hopes students are positively affected by the campaign.

“We want to reach out

and talk to as many stu-dents as we can because we’re students,” he said. “We have the opportunity to do our part.”

While Solis is already a junior at the University, he hopes the initiative contin-ues after he leaves.

“I’m really hoping this doesn’t stop with the com-mittee or myself and that it can carry forward for years to come,” Solis said.

Instead of chanting and wav-ing signs like other protest-ers, members of the faculty association did one of the jobs they do best — graded papers.

The association hosted a “grade-in” Friday outside of the Union to show sup-port for their organization, and to raise awareness on the progress of its collective bargaining contract with the University.

“We’re having the faculty out here to demonstrate to the administration it’s time for them to take educa-tion seriously,” said David Jackson, president of the fac-

ulty association. “It’s time to invest in education.”

Investing in education would include reaching a finalization of the contract between the University and administration, which ide-ally would have already been completed this past July, he said.

“We’ve had a faculty union at BGSU for two years and we

still don’t have a contract,” Jackson said. “We’re here to make a point and that point is visibility.”

The teachers were vis-ible as more than 30 of them gathered at tables to grade papers and educate passers-by about their cause.

“We encouraged teachers to come out with the papers they have to grade,” he said. “We’re not going to chant or ring bells.”

Faculty Association mem-ber Maisha Wester said she came out to the grade-in to make a stand for what she believes in.

“We’re here to show the administration we’re not going to stand by and take anything,” she said.

“Compared to other univer-sities, there’s a lot of benefits we don’t have.”

Those lack of benefits may include lower average salaries teachers and high salaries for administrators, Jackson said.

“It makes me sad that there’s so much dispar-ity,” Wester said. “I want to see more transparency in University spending.”

Students, such as the ones who stopped by the grade-in to pick up pamphlets and handouts, may also be affect-ed by the future contract.

“You guys are getting charged more and more each year,” Wester said. “Let’s retain great students by retaining great teachers.”

Member Lynda Dixon, who brought her syllabus to work on, said the University is one of her favorite places to teach and was excited to be present at the grade-in to help make it better.

“A lot of blood was shed to have the right to be in a union,” she said. “How dare I not participate?”

Right now, the University is operating like it is a business, instead of an educational facility, she said.

“I don’t think of my students as customers,” Dixon said.

Faculty Association mem-bers said they hoped this grade-in would speed along the contract process on the University’s side.

The University is con-tinuing negotiations, said University spokesperson Dave Kielmeyer.

“We continue to negotiate in good faith while reaching an agreement,” he said.

After the grade-in, faculty walked over to the University Board of Trustees meeting to address the group’s concerns.

“The Board needs to real-ize we represent all faculty,” Jackson said. “We’re going to walk out as a group and dem-onstrate that to them.”

One of the goals of the grade-in was to get the board to evaluate its actions.

“I still remain hopeful,” Wester said. “We are all in this for the same reason.”

Olympic gold medalist and University alumnus Dave Wottle opened Homecoming Weekend by speaking at the Stroh Center on Friday.

On Friday, Wottle delivered “The Winning Attitude,” a speech detailing the race, his career and the challenges he overcame.

Forty years ago, Wottle won the gold in the 800 meter race in the 1972 Olympic games in Munich, he said.

Wottle also won five NCAA track titles while attend-ing the University and won the 800 meter race in the 1972 AAU championships, according to a University press release.

Wottle was famous for wearing a golf cap during his races, which today is in the United States Track and Field Hall of Fame and was put there three years before he did, he said.

“I learned early in life never to judge a person by his hat,” Wottle said.

In high school, Wottle said that he came close to not joining track. He was late for the organizational meeting and turned around before going back, he said.

He followed a Wayne Gretzky quote that said:

“You will miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”

Because it was the 40th anniversary of his win in Munich, the University thought it appropri-ate to invite him, said Mary Heather Munger, Coordinator of Education Partnerships.

Munger said she was very pleased with the turnout, with what she estimated to be about 350 people.

John Franek, a senior on the University cross country team, said the University is synonymous with Wottle. People often mention his name when he tells them where he goes to school, he said.

Other members of the team were in attendance and had jerseys and shorts signed by Wottle, said Perry Fraylick, a junior on the team.

“He’s inspired all of us,” said Aaron Williams, a senior on the team.

Joe Van Bolderen, a junior on the team, said that hear-ing Wottle speak was a good birthday present.

The team was sched-uled to have dinner with Wottle later Friday evening, Franeck said.

Wottle also served as the grand marshal of the parade immediately after the speech, Munger said.

A blowout win was just what the doctor ordered for the Falcon football team, as they took care of Rhode Island, 48-8, Saturday afternoon.

After a 1-3 start to the season, the Falcons were looking to get things turned around, and a win against FCS opponent Rhode Island was a good place to start.

“It felt so great to have that feeling again in the locker room,” running back Anthon Samuel said. “Hopefully we can get more feelings like this throughout the rest of the season, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Samuel had a career day and was awarded the player of the game with his performance. Samuel had three running touchdowns and 127 yards, he also had 42 yards receiving through the game.

Great days were contagious as wide receiver Chris Gallon had his first career touchdown with a 15-yard catch, and then followed it up with another touchdown of 6-yards later in the game, both from quarterback Matt Schilz.

Gallon finished the day off with 43 yards receiving on four catches.Schilz favorite target proved to be tight end Alex Bayer with five

receptions, and veteran receiver Shaun Joplin had a team-high 71 yards receiving.

Schilz ended the day in the third quarter, going 20-27 with 281 yards and two touchdowns. Matt Johnson took over in the fourth quarter and added 51 yards and a touchdown of his own to Herve Coby.

The BG volleyball team improves its blocking from five blocks to 23 on con-secutive nights to move to 8-7 on the year and 4-0 in the Mid-American Conference.

On Friday night, when the Falcons took on Akron, it was the offense that led the way as BG had three players with double-digit kills and had a season high .330 kill percentage.

On Saturday night, it was a different type of game as the Falcons were all defense. They broke a school record for blocks in a four set match with 23 against Buffalo. The

Falcons got a decent amount of their defensive production from senior middle Leah Shaw who had 12 blocks and 11 block assists.

The defensive wall put up by the Falcons was able to hold the Bulls to a dev-astatingly low .044 attack percentage and an .000 attack percentage in the second set.

More impressively for the Falcons is the fact that they were able to get two con-secutive road wins in con-ference, which they did not do at all last season.

“Tonight was anoth-er great road win for us because it was a tough environment to play in

and Buffalo played well and never gave up,” coach Danijela Tomic said follow-ing the Buffalo game. “This match was a reversal of last night’s match because our defense was extreme-ly good and our offense struggled. However, it is a sign of a mature team when we are not doing well in one aspect of the game that we can make up for it by doing well in another.”

On the year, the Falcons have five players who have at least 10 blocks with junior Kaitlyn Skinner and Shaw leading the team in that category. And even though Skinner has more total blocks on the year, it is Shaw who has been coming

on as of late.The senior from

Princeton, Ill. was award-ed the MAC East defensive player of the week title just a week ago for her bril-liant blocking performance against Ohio and Kent State. In her last 3 match-es, Shaw is averaging 2.20 blocks per each set.

She has eclipsed her career best in blocks twice in the last four matches, as she had seven against Kent State last week and 12 against Buffalo this past Saturday.

After a short road stint, BG will return home this Thursday as it begins a three-game home stand against Miami University.

BG rugby improved to 4-0 on Saturday with a 73-20 win against Central Michigan, which continues its streak against the Chippewas, who have never beaten the Falcons in their entire 44-year history.

It only took five seconds for the Falcons to make a mark on the scoreboard. The open-ing kickoff bounced off the head of a Central Michigan receiver with hooker Mike Brown recovering the ball and returning it 25 yards to the end zone for a try.

After the mistake made by the Chippewas, they forced a turnover of their own and converted on a try to close the gap on a score of 7-5. They would be as close of a margin as one would see all day.

BG would continue the game with a quick pace that

Central Michigan couldn’t compete with on the field. Every time Central Michigan scored a try, BG would make a statement with two or three more tries.

Center Dominic Mauer, fullback Mitch Sora and prop Dane Szente did most of the scoring on Saturday. Mauer scored four long tries of 75, 55, 35 and 60 yards.

BG had no problem with their kicking game, as Szente hit all ten of his conver-sion attempts through the uprights. He also had a pen-alty kick and a try to add to his impressive stats to end the day with 28 total points.

Mike Brown has now scored six times in three games and continues to provide a threat to opponents. Wing Nolan Cavano and scrum half Mike Powell scored the rest for the Falcons.

This match up had a lot

of anticipation going into the weekend with one team undefeated and the other team 2-1, but Central Michigan’s close loss to Ohio was too much of a hit to overcome the Falcons on Saturday.

“The frustration on Central’s part was clear while waiting for a Szente conver-sion to clear the crossbar,” said director of rugby Roger Mazzarella. “One of their players said to me, ‘Why do you guys [BG] always play your best game against us?’”

Central Michigan falls to 2-2 on the season, as BG is still undefeated in regular season play.

The Falcons have a bye this week, and it may be per-fect timing for the team to heal some mid-season inju-ries and continue its success against Dayton the following week on Oct. 13.

Despite all the offensive success, Boo Boo Gates and the Falcons’ special teams unit got things start-ed off for the Falcons with an 80-yard punt return for a touchdown only three minutes into the game. That was quickly followed by a Stephan Stein kicking blunder as he missed the extra point.

Gates would add a muffed punt to his day with his second return, which gave the Rams great field position. The Rams would score their only points of the game on a 2-yard run. The Rams would have some trickery on the point after as they faked the extra point for a successful two-point conversion.

That wouldn’t be the

end of Gates’ day though. In the fourth quarter after the game was for all intents and purposes over, Gates set up to fair catch an incoming punt. The result was a blatant kick-catch interference as an opposing player nailed Gates while he was eyeing in the ball well before he was able to catch it. Gates gave the player a piece of his mind, which the ref-erees found justified as there was only the one f lag and it came against the defender.

Trickery was a theme for the Rams as they attempted a fake field in which they punted the ball instead. They would fake another field goal, but were unsuc-cessful converting it.

Defensively, the Falcons excelled over the Rams offense. Aside from the short field which result-

ed in the touchdown, the defense forced two fum-bles and recovered one.

The defense was also a contributing factor in the Rams’ high penalty count, as there were many holds and false starts.

“I think we played the way we should of, against a team the personal wise we were better than [them],” Clawson said.

Aside from a few spe-cial teams’ mistakes, the Falcons looked like a com-plete team against the struggling Rams that now move to 0-4. The special teams missed an extra point, shanked a punt for only 15 yards and muffed a punt return.

“I think it was one of those games that it’s not just important that we won it, but that we won it a cer-tain way and played at a certain level,” said Clawson.

At t he A l l-Oh io C ha mpion sh ips on Saturday, the BG men’s and women’s cross coun-try teams were able to give some experience to some of the new runners.

The men finished ninth in the division one bracket, earning an overall score of 256, and collective time of 2:14:46.82 in their second 8K race in a row.

The women did not compete in the champi-onship race this weekend, but competed well in the open 5K race.

The Mid-A merica n Conference was well rep-resented in Cedarville with Miami, Akron and Kent State finishing sec-ond, third and fourth this weekend behind Cincinnati on the men’s

side.Senior Josh Franek was

the top finisher for the men with a 43rd place in the 8K. His time of 26:27.11 was just a bit slower than his time in Buffalo two weeks ago. He was fol-lowed by freshmen Brian Coleman, who finished in 49th place with a time of 26:43.06.

The men also sent a number of unattached runners into the 8K Open, with senior Jason Salyer finishing first with a time of 25:13.30, just missing his personal best mark of 25:12 set at the MAC Championships last sea-son. Junior Greg Black also ran unattached in the 8K Open, finishing the course in 26:08.05 for an eighth place finish.

The women did not compete in the team race, but sent a number of new

faces into the 5K Open. Fresh men E m ma

Mirwaldt finished with a time of 19:11.43 and Becca Rae, with a time of 19:14.53, led the way for the women in their first collegiate action, finish-ing 10th and 11th, respec-tively.

Unattached freshman Kelsey Cogan was right behind them in the 12th spot, finishing the course in 19:19.60. Freshman Maria Meredith finished the course in 19:28.96, earning a 15th place fin-ish in her collegiate debut. Freshman Amanda Garlak also competed for the first time, finishing in 19:34.08 for a 17th place finish.

The men and women will be back in action on Oct. 12, as they head to Peoria, Illinois for the Bradley Classic.

Yes, it is perhaps one of the biggest cliches in the his-tory of mankind, but there is a fantastic saying that goes “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

I don’t know exactly why so many people use it. A lot of people will play devil’s advocate and claim that it is often better to be proactive than reactive, to fix things before they break. But in reality, being ‘proactive’ isn’t prudent in a lot of scenarios that this cliche can apply to.

The prime example of this is the NHL lockout. The third one in my life-time. This would be a great place to put an anal-ogy to compare the labor instability of the NHL to something that’s well ... unstable, but I’m a little too sickened by the devel-opments of this latest work stoppage to make it seem in any way comical.

Unlike the lockout of 2004-05, there is abso-lutely no logical reason for this one to be happening. Back then, there was no salary cap in the league, causing player salaries to skyrocket to the point that nearly every team was los-ing money.

It was a lockout that needed to happen. Everyone involved with the league needed a real-

ity check that hockey was not, and still is not, on the level of popularity that baseball, football or bas-ketball are on in America. Therefore, the league has to be much more conser-vative with its finances and much more aggres-sive with its marketing strategy.

In light of that lost sea-son, a great thing hap-pened: they fixed the league. Commissioner Gary Bettman made the best out of a bad situation, getting hockey into a TV deal with NBC after ESPN would not offer the league the type of exposure it was looking for. The salary cap significantly cut spend-ing and that aggressive marketing strategy helped grow the game to record revenues.

Fast forward to now, the league’s owners are trying to go back to square one.

They claim that league sa la r ies a re too high, despite t he fact t hat they’re the ones moronic enough to throw around 13-yea r, $ 98 m i l l ion cont racts l i ke t hey’re nothing.

This isn’t a lockout of necessity. It’s a lockout of greed and hypocrisy by the owners of the league.

Unlike 2004, when it was easy to sympathize with the owners, it is much eas-ier to sympathize with the players this go-around.

How, you ask, is it easy to sympathize with guys who make more money in

a year than most of us will see in our lifetimes? Put yourself in their shoes. Say the company you work for is making record profits, all thanks to the hard work of you and your coworkers. Your boss comes in and tells you, despite this, he wants you to take a 20 per-cent pay cut because he is “losing money” despite it being rather clear that he is not.

You would be outraged, no?

That is what this is. The players aren’t asking the owners for more money. They’re fighting to keep what they rightfully have earned.

In all, I don’t care who gets what in this labor negotiation. My future isn’t at stake in these negotiations. And, as a poor college student, I’m not going to be spending a significant amount of money going to games any time soon.

But the biggest mistake the league is making in this lockout is what appears to be a blatant disregard for the fans. Nothing makes me more upset than hear-ing Bettman so cock-ily claim that the fans will just come frolicking back whenever the league starts up again.

Is he wrong in that assertion? Not necessarily. But if he continues to take the game away from fans every seven years, he’s making it a lot easier for fans to walk away.

NHL lockout an unnecessary showing of greed, hypocricy
