In Spirek's loumalism 100 class last September she assigned all of her students to log the amount and type of media they were using Students remember Sept 11 on a daily basis for a week. After getting the results back Spirek noticed that a number of her stu- dents substantially increased their media intake from Sept. 10 to Sept. 11. while the remaining students decreased their media intake drastically. Thus began a program researching emotional responses to media especially towards stressful and frightening situa- tions in media. She sought to answer the question of why some individuals reached a saturation point while others were continu- ously looking for more informa- tion on the events of Sept. 11. Dr. Spirek went on to explain the Miller Behavioral Style Scale. This theorizes that there are two different types of personality traits, blunters and monitors. Bluntcrs cope with stressful situa- tions in media by avoiding the detailed information relating to the event.

By Erik Cassano SP081S «[P0»U« Last year when the Bowling Green football team planted themselves firmly in the mid-major spotlight, Shaun Suisham wasn't even register- ing on the radar. The freshman place- kicker was left in the dust while Urban Meyer threw the book at con- ventional football wisdom, pk>wing ahead on the majority of fourth down plays regardless of their proximity to field goal range.
