while i agree that the buchtelite is quite humerous on many occasions, but we're looking pretty good for next year's macc. i give them that much.

you're just luck that Can't doesn't have a rifle team a-holio...cause then we'd own you like we own the buckeyes!(and everyone knows THAT'S the only sport that matters )

check e-bay i've seen them out there...and many people do consider driving a sport (nascar) though i'm still on the fence about that.

ok, but the ncaa says it is now as well as several state high school athletic associations, so why not look into it?

i don't know about women's soccer. i was talking to a couple of the girls last night and i guess they have an insanely huge team next year, bringing in like 10 or 11 freshmen. seems like a lot, but they said a few of their recruits are pretty good. we'll see how next season goes.and no one mentioned baseball...i mean they're not doing too hot this year either

i read in a recent usa today that nebraska is at the top of bowling once again. anyways it also mentioned somethings that i didn't know. ncaa moved bowling up to championship status in like 2002, and there are only 8 colleges/universities that field bowling teams. i remeber reading in the beacon journal (last week maybe?) that the ohio high school athletic association (don't know the acronym here) is making bowling a varsity sport in the state of ohio. i also know that bowling is picking up speed back home (oregon) and the osaa is looking at making bowling a varsity sport there as well. with bowling on the rise, if mack started up a team here (like he mentioned in passing) we could establish ourselves in the sport and possibly win a national championship while the field of teams is small. plus, i think bowling is a women's sport so it could add to the title ix balance so the school could maybe increase it's male scholarships in another sport like men's track. what do you guys think? :macc:

ditto

why do you guys seem to think that a woman is incapable of doing that? like i said before, it's been shown that women can get the job done coaching. just because kennedy was a sweet person doesn't mean that the next person is going to be the same.

that's what's nice about rifle we're all on equal footing competiting against each other (except when you get to the international level because the men changed things after a women beat them) just because men and women play a different style of game doesn't mean one is worse than the other. maybe you don't enjoy watching women's basketball and that's fine. personally i like all non-professional basketball.i'm just saying the qualities that we need in the next coach aren't directly related to gender. don't count out the women because they can be just as successful, but don't limit yourself to a woman either. they need to hire based on experience and a good resume not whether they have a penis or vagina.

i do give you that.

now that is something completely different from what you said earlier. i am not opposed to having a male coach (and i had a male b-ball coach all through high school), but i am opposed to saying that we need a male because they are more successful than a female.oh and w00t, pat summitt of tennessee is a woman.here's a bit of her bio which i think will also surprise you. she can be considered one of the best college basketball coaches ever (men or women).It seemed only fitting that Pat Summitt, the University of Tennessee head women's basketball coach, would break the most significant record in her coaching career in the NCAA Tournament. On March 22, 2005, Summitt led her Lady Vols past Purdue, 75-54, in the Second Round of the 2005 NCAA's. The victory was the 880th of her coaching career which moved her past the legendary Dean Smith of North Carolina (879) as the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history men or women.Six NCAA titles, 24 Southeastern Conference tournament and regular season championships, 12 Olympians, 18 Kodak All-Americans named to 30 teams and 62 All-SEC performersIn all of men and women's collegiate basketball history, Summitt trails only UCLA's legendary coach John Wooden for the most NCAA titles. Wooden grabbed 10 titles in 29 years; Summitt has picked up six in 31 complete seasons (including the NCAA's first back-to-back-to-back women's titles in 1996, 1997 and 1998) to pass Kentucky's legendary coach, Adolph Rupp. Additionally, Summitt passed Wooden's NCAA record for Final Four appearances with her 13th in 2002.In this elite company of the legends -- of the top NCAA Champion titleholders -- Summitt's teams have played in and recorded the most NCAA tournament victories, winning 89 of 107 NCAA contests. Wooden's Bruins played in 57 NCAA games, winning 47 times, while Bob Knight's Indiana Hoosiers played in 60 NCAA games, claiming 41 victories through the years. Rupp's Wildcats won 30 games while making 48 appearances at the "Big Dance." Summitt, a living legend? You bet. AMAZING NUMBERS * Summitt has faced 153 opponents in 1,054 total games and teams from 32 conferences * 47.0% of her 1,054 total games have been played versus ranked teams (497 total games against ranked opponents) with 355 victories versus ranked opponents * 137 all-time Lady Vols have contributed to 882 wins * 70% of those all-time players have gone on to be decorated as Olympians, All- Americans, USA National Team members, All-SEC performers, Academic All-Americans, Academic All-SEC, etc.

now that's uncalled for and your sexist opinions show your ignorance. yeah if you want to compare yourself to the mac which isn't that great of a conference, but look at the elite women's teams: tennessee, duke, maryland, unc, utah, lsu, and stanford all have women as head coaches. in fact, the only team that made the elite 8 this year that had a male head coach was uconn. don't give me this "we need a guy crap" cause women are just as capable and looking at this year's ncaa tourney proves it. oh and i agree that kennedy needed to be replaced. good luck to her where ever she goes.

shouldn't it be the other way around?How do you get to Can't from Akron?

i'm keeping my mouth shut here...

like 5 teams in the mac are in the bottom 19. does that make us the weakest league in the country?

i'm a pretty big gonzaga fan, but i was pissed with morrison crying. he started before the game was even over! however, crying after a close loss, especially when a national championship is on the line is not girlie. last year (i think) when memphis had to win their league tourney to go to the big dance, and the guy only made 1/3 free throws to lose by 1. i wanted to cry for him! these players have a ton of time and effort invested into what they do. they leave it all on the floor night in and night out, and to lose a game on a hail mary shot at the buzzer is hard to accept. there should be nothing wrong with a man showing emotion. it is sick that our society teaches boys from a young age that they have to be "macho." emotions have no gender, they're just human.

leigh hall is one of the nicest buildings on campus now that they re-did the inside. i think olin really needs the update.

but the thing is by being a student you fall under the sja. if for some reason you weren't a student but still worked for the buchtelite and then the university tried to punish that person, you could complain. but as a student any action you take that is against school rules you fall under the university's jurisdiction.

in today's buchtelite... let's just say that they did plagiarize (hypothetically), how can you say that the first amendment protects you from breaking the law and plagiarizing someone else? i mean, you can print up a big story about how you are going to kill the president, but first amendment or not you're going to still have the secret service knocking at your door. anyways, if they did do wrong, then they could be held accountable not as the newspaper, but as students of the university. being a student here makes you accountable to the sja.

like i said, i don't know if they did it the right way or not, but she didn't think it was fair (probably because she didn't know how much goes into writing for the paper), but it is still something that should be looked into. my beef with the buchtelite? at first i didn't like the quality of the paper (which hasn't really improved that much). then two pieces were written directed at me personally, which was pretty funny, but everything that i complained about they changed (except "dear cindy" which still belongs in a playboy). i think for a college paper they should have higher standards then my old high school paper. that's all.

i saw that earlier, but i felt he was saying more along the lines that "you ignorant if you don't believe how we said the story unfolded" which i don't. most of what the abj says goes in one ear and out the other anyways...

but then again, anyone can submit articles for the buchtelite so maybe they never took journalism 101. there was miscommunication there, but to say that because the paper is independent of the university that their writers can't be held accountable by the university is garbage. if you're a student all of your actions can be held accountable. now i don't know details, and maybe they did it right. if that's the case then they'll be let off and the mess will be cleared up. it is something worth looking into though.

Posted on Thu, Mar. 23, 2006Student protests loss of byline in BuchteliteUA newspaper editors summoned to office on claim of plagiarism, cheating, dishonestyBy Carol BiliczkyBeacon Journal staff writerWhen student editors at the University of Akron newspaper took a writer's byline off a story, they thought they were trying to be fair.Instead, the three were brought before UA's Office of Student Judicial Affairs for an informal meeting on an allegation of plagiarism, cheating and academic dishonesty.Dan Kadar, editor in chief of the student-run Buchtelite, said he is dumbfounded that UA would insert itself into the newspaper's business.``Telling us what to do just didn't seem right,'' he said. ``When we try to teach students the correct journalism ethics, you get into a situation like this.''But Karlise Brown, the theater student who complained to UA, said the student editors didn't play fair with her, so she was forced to take the issue up a notch.She was unhappy over two issues -- that the editors took her byline, ``By Karlise Brown,'' off an article, and that when she learned what they were going to do, they didn't give her a chance to withdraw the article.``I don't feel their practices are ethical, so I went through channels to do things the way they should be done,'' she said.Brown turned to judicial affairs, the office that holds students accountable for their behavior and in severe cases can suspend or dismiss them.In 2004, UA graduate student Charles Plinton ran afoul of a UA disciplinary panel in judicial affairs. It found him ``responsible'' for dealing drugs to a confidential informant, even though a Summit County jury had found him not guilty. Suspended from school and banished from student housing, he killed himself.In the Buchtelite case, Megan O'Leary, graduate assistant for student and staff learning and a judicial affairs officer, met with Kadar and fellow student editors Courtney Cahoon and Kristin Snowberger last week about the complaint.(Snowberger and Kadar work part time as correspondents for the Beacon Journal.)Kadar agrees they substituted ``Staff report'' for Brown's byline on her Jan. 31 story on Raisin in the Sun, a student production that was to help mark Black History Month in February.Kadar said they made the change for ethical reasons -- because Brown mentioned herself in the article as a member of the cast or crew. Writers aren't supposed to cover events in which they have a stake, Kadar said. Although they hadn't been so rigid in the past, this time they followed the Buchtelite's own policy manual.Did they do the right thing?They turned to Tim Smith, a journalism professor at Can't State University, for advice.He assailed UA's judicial affairs office for getting mixed up in something that the Buchtelite editors had the right to decide.The UA office is ``basically foolish,'' Smith said. ``I told the students to tell them, politely, `buzz off.' ''They did, rejecting O'Leary's suggestion that they apologize to Brown in writing.It's up to them whether they give out the prized bylines that indicate who wrote an article, Kadar argued.Still, he's worried. If students complain to the school every time they find fault with the Buchtelite, UA would control the newspaper -- and, he argues, it doesn't. Although UA provides space in the Student Center and also pays for an adviser, Kadar said, the newspaper pays its own way by selling ads.Michele Campbell, assistant dean of student life, declined to comment on the complaint against the Buchtelite. The process ``is incomplete at this time,'' she wrote the Beacon Journal in an e-mail. Another hearing is set for today.Brown said she didn't know if she would attend, but she believes she's right. ``It wasn't a staff report because no one at the staff wrote it,'' she said.She has yet to file for her $10 payment for her article. On Tuesday, she said she would no longer write for the newspaper.Carol Biliczky can be reached at 330-996-3729 or cbiliczky@thebeaconjournal.com

but if say Can't had gone to the ncaa tourney every year and won in the first round at the very least, then they would have respect like gonzaga has gained. they never backed it up. while it is true that we wouldn't gain much, it's a starting place and if we continued to win more than once, then we would get our respect. it all starts with a win though.
