Faculty, students and community members will be protesting the University’s decision to cut 30 faculty during the Board of Trustees meeting Friday. The protestors will hold signs with silhouettes on them representing each faculty member whose contract will be terminated and their contribution to the University, said David Jackson, president of the Faculty Association. “It’s all about accountablity,” Jackson said. “It will show the terrible consequences of the terrible decisions of the administration.” Jackson and roughly 10 other faculty and students made signs and called people to join their cause Thursday night at the Faculty Association Headquarters on Main Street above Finder’s Records. The protesters will be standing in the hallway before the meeting with their signs. The meeting starts at 1:30 p.m. in Union 308. They will be present during the meeting for roughly an hour and will leave after the constituent reports, Jackson said. He’s hoping to have roughly 100 protestors show this year. While 30 non-tenure faculty were notified of their contract non-renewals, there are 12 additional faculty not returning who were on one-year, non-renewable contracts, said David Kielmeyer, University spokesperson. Kielmeyer said the 12 faculty were aware of their short term employment because the contract stated they would be working for one year. Kielmeyer could not comment on how the administration would react to the protest. “They certainly have the right to do that,” he said. The initial 30 reductions will save the University roughly $1.4 million, Kielmeyer said. The contract non-renewals were made due to declining enrollment trends, he said. Of the 30 initial nonrenewals, 26 are from the College of Arts and Sciences. Kielmeyer said the deans of each college consulted with directors and chairs of each department to see where cuts could be made.

Campus metered parking more expensive than city

That’s so hollywood
An hour parking 75 cents more on campus than in city By Dylanne Petros Copy Chief
A quarter on campus gets students 15 minutes of parking at a meter, but downtown, that quarter is good for an hour. The price to park at a meter on campus is 25 cents for 15 minutes, or $1 an hour, said Aaron Kane, manager of parking. This cost is 75 cents more an hour than parking a downtown, as an hour costs 25 cents, said Mark Strobel, a dispatcher for the Bowling Green Police Division. The month of December is also a parking holiday downtown, so now parking is free. “Even though the 25 cents an hour still is quite a bit lower than a lot of other areas, it would

still be able to give us a little bit more revenue,” Strobel said. A parking ticket at a meter in the city is $5, compared to $10 on campus. But in the city, the ticket will increase to $15 if unpaid for five days, while University tickets do not increase. People only have to pay for the meters during the week because the city does not monitor the meters during the weekend, Strobel said. Junior Aaron Hirt does not have a parking pass and instead uses the meters and pay-to-park lots on campus. “I feel I pay plenty of money to the college to attend the University,” Hirt said. “Considering $747 of our tuition is going toward a ‘general fee’ and $60 for ‘special student

The raise in price was recommended by the consultants. Kent State and Miami University both charge a dollar an hour to park on campus while Cleveland State University charges $2 an

he holidays are about giving, and when it comes to gifts it’s supposed to be the thought that counts, isn’t it? But many feel that putting a gift card under the tree for a loved one isn’t personal or thoughtful enough of a gift. Some may even assert that it’s about as tactless as handing someone cash on Christmas morning or during whatever holiday you may celebrate. Gift cards have presented a newer holiday dilemma: they are great for the person who has everything, but are they good enough to stand as a present or not? I say gift cards do take an appropriate amount of time and energy to make a nice gift. They offer freedom to the receiver to get what they truly want or need and where you get the gift card from is where some thoughtfulness can come into play. Does Annie like Chipotle or Qdoba better?

However, many in the U.S. and others around the world celebrate holidays throughout the year that though they may seem more uncommon to American customs, is just as important Translated from Swahili, meaning “first fruits,” to those cultures. Kwanzaa occurs between Dec. 26 and New Year’s Day. HANUKKAH Dr. Malulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 to promote unity among the African American community after the Watts riots in Los Angeles. Many who celebrate Kwanzaa focus on the Seven Principles, which are the following ideals: Unity, Selfdetermination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith. Meaning “dedication” On each evening of in Hebrew, Hanukkah Kwanzaa, one of the seven celebrates the rededication candles on the candleholder, of the Second Temple after called the Kinara.

Jews usually recite blessings and display the menorah in a window during this ritual. Other traditions include eating potatoes pancakes, known as latkes and playing with four-sided spinning tops called dreidels. Also like Christmas, some exchange gifts during Hanukkah.
Usually, Boxing Day follows Christmas Day on Dec. 26. Boxing Day may occur on Monday if Dec. 26 falls on a Sunday. Many people may notice this holiday directly after Christmas. Even fewer may know why this holiday appears on the calendar. What is the most unknown about this holiday is the origin of its name. In old times, bosses gave their servants and workers gifts in a “Christmas Box.” Today, Boxing Day is celebrated as a bank or public holiday in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Hong Kong. Boxing Day may also be considered the Black Friday of Britain, Canada and Australia. Retailers in these countries may draw the most shoppers on one single day of the year with many door buster deals and dramatic price reductions.

During this time, followers are also to avoid smoking, partaking in sexual behavioral, thinking or speaking impure or unkind thoughts and words, and practicing immoral behavior. Many see this time of fasting to practice selfrestraint and introspection. Also, many see it as a time of cleansing the soul and empathizing with those in the world who are hungry and less fortunate. Id al-Fitr, a major feast is celebrated the day after Ramadan ends. The feast includes meals with family and gift exchanges. Id al-Fitr may last three days after Ramadan ends.

Students engage in photo illusions at Jerome Library By Kathryne Rubright Pulse Reporter
Liz Tousey and Susannah Cleveland believe visits to the library can be fun. “It’s not all stern looks and shushing,” said Tousey, circulation and student supervisor at the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives. Tousey and Cleveland have fun by engaging visitors in “sleevefacing,” which is lining up a person and a record sleeve so they both appear to be one and photographing the illusion. “I think it shows that we can have fun,” Tousey said.

Fashion group plans future activities Fad Watch strives to increase diversity, relieve stress By Hannah Benson Pulse Reporter
Since canceling its Ugly Sweater Party, Fad Watch has started preparations for their Valentine’s Day ball, called Red Velvet Soiree, which will be hosted Feb. 15. Vice President of Fad Watch, Kayla Fowler, said collaboration with WFAL radio station ultimately led to the party cancellation, which was originally planned for Dec. 5. “They basically had the music and we were providing the games and the contest,” Fowler said. “They bailed out last minute because they said they should have had more time to plan.” However, Fowler said students should look forward to the Red Velvet Soiree, which will be more of an “upscale event.” “It’s very casual and nobody really gets dressed up for things here, when they go out,” Fowler said. “So we’re trying to show more of the ballroom look and kind of make it like prom all over again.” President of Fad Watch, Ajia Mason, said the group wanted to
give students a chance to relive the days of high school dances. “A lot of people say they miss dressing up for occasions like [high school dances], so we wanted to give those people a chance to kind of relive it a little,” Mason said. The ball will cost $7 per ticket, it will be catered, the University jazz band will be performing and it will include a ballroom-style fashion show. Fowler said the group will be hosting auditions for models the first week of spring semester in hopes to gain more diversity in the group. “I really hope that we get more diversity in our models, because I feel like we’ve had that, but we just want more because pretty much we all look the same on our board, but our organization is all about diversity,” Fowler said. “We want to reach out to every culture.” Ultimately, Mason said she wants students to have fun and relieve stress at its events.

Toledo music duo to rock Howard’s Club H By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor

Before Silent Lions, Tartaglia played saxophone and Klein played drums in a band called Gold, which is no longer.
Klein, who attended the University as a student from 2001 to 2005, pursuing an art degree, said he always knew he wanted to play music, and it was going to happen one way or another. Right before Silent Lions was born, Klein and Tartaglia decided to quit Gold, while at the same time

“FROZEN” Movie | Grade: A By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor
Disney’s newest animated movie “Frozen” stars Kristin Bell as Anna the princess of Arandelle, and Idina Mensel as Elsa, the Snow Queen and Anna’s older sister. The movie focuses on Anna trying to find true love and bringing her sister back to Arandelle after her powers caused Arandelle to be in an eternal winter. Along the way she meets Kristoff [Johnathan Gross] the ice salesmen, and his reindeer Sven. Before leaving Arandelle Anna met Hans, a prince who came for Elsa’s coronation that Anna became engaged to the very day she met him. The entirety of the movie you spend wondering who the real bad guy is. Is it Elsa? Is it the angry Duke of Weselton? Is it Hans? This is something that
Disney rarely does in their movies; it is generally stated from the very beginning of the movie who the villain is. The switch is definitely something new for Disney, and I hope they continue to keep things the same. The animation in the movie is stunning. I can only imagine how long doing some of the ice castle scenes took. The detail that was put into them is unprecedented. Despite my extreme love of Disney, and Disney princesses as a whole, I do not consider myself a fan of musical movies. Especially not the most recent Disney movies where the songs are more cheesy than enjoyable. “Frozen” is not much different. There is the endless amount of feel good, kid-friendly songs or the kid-friendly, internalstruggle songs. Somehow despite the
near endless amount of musical numbers in Disney movies, I find myself continually attracted to them. There is something about the Disney magic that makes the musical hater in me still love it. The movie had a twist ending that I wasn’t sure if I saw coming or not. For the first time in a while during a Disney movie, I was not entirely certain how it was going to end. I thought one thing was going to happen and the next thing I know the plot took an unexpected turn. It kept me more interested than I generally already am for being a self-proclaimed Disney freak. Overa ll, I def initely recommend the mov ie to other people. It was a very sweet movie that wasn’t too childish. The movie moved very quick, and there were no points in it where things were dragging.

“My expectations for these events are just for people to come and have fun,” Mason said. “Everyone gets a little stressed from all of their school work, and we would just like people to relax a little and not think about classes for a few hours.” Freshman Gabby Winger said she has been encouraged by those in charge of the organization to “participate and contribute to

I also helped organize the seats for the audience,” Winger said. “The entire show had a very high-energy vibe to it, and it was overall a really great experience.” Wringer said she would be helping set up the Red Velvet Soiree.
Mason said the executive board encourages feedback from the general body because it provides them with additional, new ideas. Wringer said she is able to see the hard work both Mason and Fowler put into Fad Watch events. “I could really tell that those who were in charge of the event put a lot of time and effort into it, and really cared about it as a whole,” Winger said. “It takes a lot of dedication to make large events like this happen, and for them to run smoothly.”

SLEEVE From Page 4 At the same time, they are serious about taking good shots. “Most people are really haphazard about it. We are very precise,” said Cleveland, head librarian of the Music Library and Sound Recordings Archives. Tousey said she usually takes five or six shots to make sure she gets a perfect lineup. It’s easiest to create a sleevefacing based on matching clothing, so Tousey and Cleveland keep some records organized by clothing color separate from the rest of the collection. Visitors can work with Tousey and Cleveland to select an album that matches the clothes they happen to be wearing. “The better things match, the more the optical illusion works,” Tousey said. However, it’s also possible to plan ahead and dress for a particular album. Michael Lee, a 2012 graduate, completed multiple sleevefacings and used both approaches. “I chose colors that I
knew that I had, as well as pictures I was interested in completing,” Lee said. Lee worked in the Music Library, and sometimes Cleveland or Tousey would notice his outfit could match well with a particular album. A f ter choosing a n album, Tousey, Cleveland and the subject will decide what pose is necessary to match up with the album. “I tried to recreate the body language that I thought was happening in the picture already,” Lee said. “I put myself in the position that I believed the artist was also in.” Once the pose is established, adjustments in the subject’s position and in the distance of the album from the camera are made until there is a perfect lineup. “It probably took five minutes at most,” Lee said. The Music Librar y Facebook page has been home to sleevefacing pictures since Tousey and Cleveland began taking them. Recently, they started a Tumblr blog for the pictures. “You can kind of see the ripples better,” Cleveland said, referring to Tumblr users’ ability to reblog posts. The blog is called
“Librar y Sleevefacing.” The title intentionally does not refer to the University, which allows other libraries to feel free to submit sleevefacings, Cleveland said. The only rules are that submissions must be photographed in a library and they can’t be digitally altered. Although Tousey and Cleveland have fun with their sleevefacing project, it does benefit the Music Library. “It turned out to be this really good outreach activity,” Cleveland said. “It gives [us] a chance to connect with patrons.” Tousey said sometimes they have asked random students in the library to pose for a sleevefacing, which can lead to those students coming back and interacting more. Cleveland said people who used to silently study might say hello. Tousey and Cleveland estimate that they have photographed 250-300 sleevefacings since the summer of 2010. They encourage anyone who is interested in sleevefacings to visit and ask to do one. “[Tousey and Cleveland are] always a lot of fun to work with,” Lee said.

Dining Services adds fee for water Cups of water to cost 25 cents By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor
Getting a free cup of water may not be as easy for students anymore. Previously, at all dining locations, students could get a cup of water at no charge. Dining Services has begun to charge 25 cents for a cup of water during late night at Marco’s Pizza. Mike Paulus, the director of Dining Services, said the reason for the cups being charged is because of a water fight. “We had a group of students who felt it was a game and were using our cups full of water to have a water fight in the Union,” he said. “When they were challenged on it, they threw the water at my attendant and ran away. They can now pay for it.” Paulus said another reason they began to charge for water is the cost of the cups, straws and lids. “No one gives me the cups for free, the lids for free or the straws for free,” he said. Paulus said he doesn’t want to make all of the dining halls charge for water, but if this continues to be a problem it may be considered. If students purchase food they do still get water for free. The only time they are charged is if they are getting only water. “Do our cashiers or associates have the discretion to not charge for a cup of water if someone needed one? Absolutely,” Paulus said.
Sarah Meyer, the marketing director for Dining Services, said the amount of people in the lines who wanted to get a cup of water without ordering food was causing people to not get in line because it appeared to be much longer than it actually was. Although there was money being lost on the cups, lids and straws, the bigger issue was the service being provided to students. “It wasn’t quite as big of an issue with the money as more so the customer service, and the staff having to spend a lot of time doing that for students, and not spending time on the students who wanted to purchase food,” Meyer said. Meyer said she thinks the employees will enforce the charge because they are the ones who brought it to the attention of management. “Usually when we ask our employees to do something they do it,” she said. “It came from them.” Freshman Rebecca Wait said she thinks Marco’s charging for water is a good move by the University. “I think it’s going to be positive, people can go get water other places,” she said. “I don’t think it’s hard to go to the water fountain.” The goal of charging for water is very straight forward, Meyer said. “We’re hoping that it can reduce the lines and help with the customer service,” Meyer said.

The only other loss in the regular season was to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Now, after years of rebuilding, and switching from MAC West to MAC East, they’re making another trip to the conference championship to face Northern Illinois, this time with their sights set on taking the title. “When the season started, our football team expected to be here,” said head coach Dave Clawson at a press conference Wednesday. Clawson’s first year with BG was 2009, when the team went 7-6 but lost to the University of Idaho 42-43 in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho. The following season, the

University explains Affordable Care Act Law to go into effect Jan. 1, four different plans available in Ohio
By Dominic Binkley Reporter
Students experiencing headaches from trying to understand the Affordable Care Act might be able to pay for a doctor’s visit with an insurance plan from the Act’s new Health Insurance Marketplace. The ACA, better known as Obamacare, is one of the most significant changes to U.S. healthcare since the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid in the early 1960’s, said Richard Sipp, director of the Center for Student Health at the Nov. 22 Graduate Student Senate meeting. Going into full effect Jan. 1, the new law creates a core set of benefits that all health insurance companies are required to provide, such
CUTS From Page 1 “It was based on the needs of the program, student needs and class demand,” he said. For example, if two faculty taught two different sections of the same class, but neither were filled to capacity, the idea was to combine those sections into one class, taught by one faculty member, Kielmeyer said. The reductions this year are in the wake of the 73 nonrenewals made last year by the University. Jackson organized a silent protest last year as well. With these reductions, faculty have raised concerns that this will increase class sizes and negatively impact students’ education. “Our belief is that students learn best in small classes,” Jackson said. “Fewer faculty takes away from that experience.” Some students also feel this will limit their experience. “It’s not good for the value of my degree or my fellow students,” said junior Michael Hart, who helped faculty make signs and phone calls for the protest. “The administration isn’t thinking clearly and this is not what they should be doing.” Based on enrollment data,
Falcons went 2-10. “When we were 2-10, we had a vision of what we wanted it to look like,” Clawson said at the press conference. “Our goal is to become MAC champions.” Clawson credited the success of the team with a strong senior class. “Our senior class has certainly given a great example to our younger players,” Clawson said. “They’re the reason we’re in this position.” Fifth-year senior Ted Ouellet, defensive tackle, was redshirted in the 2009 season. He said he’s proud to be part of the transformation the team has made since then. “We built up to this game for five years now,” said Ouellet. “It’s been a really big turnaround.” Jim Elsasser, associate athletic director for internal affairs, was with the Athletic Department in 2003. That year’s championship was at the Doyt L. Perry Stadium, which drew national attention to the
their available plans and then contact the Student Insurance Office to ask about their options. “You can bring that information in [to the Student Insurance Office] and we can let you know what plans would meet the requirements and which ones would not and that way you can decide whether you want to purchase a plan on the marketplace or purchase our plan,” she said. The University’s student health insurance plan offered through UnitedHealthcare meets the ACA’s minimum requirements, so students will not have to pay a penalty, Ford said. With that plan, students can choose to pay either
as coverage for prescription drugs, hospitalization and pregnancy, said Tammy Ford, student insurance representative for the Student Insurance Office. Under the law, people who can afford health insurance but do not have coverage in 2014 may have to pay a penalty in addition to the cost of all their health care, according to healthcare.gov. The law also created the Health Insurance Marketplace on healthcare. gov as a guide to help those undecided about their coverage choose and purchase a plan. Ohio has four tiers of plans available on the marketplace: Catastrophic, Bronze, Silver and Gold, with premiums ranging from $200 to $450 a month, Ford said. An online application must be
completed to get individual price estimates. While some plans are cheaper than others, not every plan meets the minimum requirements set by the University, Ford said. High deductible plans like the Catastrophic plan, which offers less than 60 percent expense coverage, and Bronze, which offers 60 percent, do not meet the requirements for the insurance waiver, she said. The Silver plan offers 70 percent coverage and the Gold plan offers 80 percent but specific plans may or may not meet the University’s minimum requirements. Marlene Reynolds, assistant director for Business and Information Systems, said students can go to healthcare.gov to see
Kielmeyer said that even though the faculty were cut, on average, class sizes increased by just one student. Though there may not be a significant increase in class size, some departments affected by the nonrenewals may have to limit class offerings. Mathematics and Statistics is losing the most faculty of any department, with five not returning next year— four from the initial cuts and one with the strictly one-year contract. The department will not be authorizing new sections and the faculty will have to “work hard to compensate and split the workload,” said Kit Chan, department chair of Mathematics and Statistics. Though the department runs a new $5.65 million math emporium, a facility in Olscamp where students take basic math courses on the computer, it was not the reason for the reductions, Chan said. Because students learn math at different paces, the emporium is meant to capitlize on that, Chan said. While Chan said the department will remain intact, he is sad to see faculty leave. “We are called a family,” he said. “We enjoy each other’s presence; we’ve been working together for a while.”

University, Elsasser said. The level of competition in the MAC is part of the reason it’s been a decade since the Falcons have had a shot at a conference title, said Athletic Director Chris Kingston. “It says a lot about both the coaching staff and the players and the commitment they’ve made,” Kingston said. “Football games are hard to win and getting to the top, getting to the championship, it’s a process.” Kingston attributed this year’s success to Clawson, the rest of the coaching staff, the players and the support of everyone at the University. “This team is prepared for greatness right now and they’re prepared for greatness in the coming years,” Kingston said. Members of the 2003 team have come to games this season, and they will also be at the conference championship, showing support for the Falcons, Kingston said.
A championship game is a new challenge for all the players, Ouellet said. “For most of the kids I’ve played with, this is uncharted territory,” he said. The plan, he said, is to “treat it like any other game.” Elsasser described 2003’s team as a “highflying, offensive, thrilling team,” very similar to 2013’s team. “It’s an exciting brand of football. Bowling Green is very disciplined,” Elsasser said. “[Clawson has] done a tremendous job building the program.” In 2003, quarterback Josh Harris passed for 3,813 yards and 27 touchdowns. He also rushed for 972 yards and 13 touchdowns on top of that. Running back P.J. Pope rushed for 1,057 yards and 10 touchdowns during the 2003 season. Comparatively, current running back Travis Greene rushed for 1,476 this season and 10 touchdowns. Quarterback Matt Johnson passed for 2,802

yards and 18 touchdowns. The Falcons’ regular season record in 2003 was 10-2. This year they went 9-3. The 2003 team rushed for 2,750 yards that season and passed for 4,206, with a total of 61 offensive touchdowns. Compared to this year, the team rushed for 2,516 yards and passed for 3,053 with 39 offensive touchdowns. Senior Luke Zerkle, president of Falcon Fanatics, said the team has shown significant improvement since he was a freshman. “This is the first time in awhile so it’s nice to witness that transformation as a student,” Zerkle said. The Athletic Department received 4,000 tickets to sell at the University, all of which are sold out. The Falcon Fanatics had 83 tickets for its members. “I know students are excited and I’m expecting big things,” Zerkle said. “I think BG definitely has a chance to shock some people.”

A Student Exhibition Monday night projects images onto the Wolfe Center as a preview for ArtsX, which is Friday.
Students to feature art work at annual exhibition By William Channell Reporter
University artists will be able to showcase their work at this year’s annual ArtsX expo, to be hosted Friday. An event celebrating student creativity, ArtsX brings together members of the schools of music, theatre and film and fine arts under one banner. ArtsX will be hosted from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday in the Fine Arts Center, Wolfe Center for the Performing Arts and Kobacker Hall in the Moore Musical Arts building. “The spirit of the event is to kind of showcase the creativity that takes place on campus,” said Dennis Wojtkiewicz, a professor in the fine arts department. “The important thing about this event is it makes what we do accessible to the general public.” Scott Henley, a senior digital arts major who has work in the event, said ArtsX provides an opportunity for students to see what art majors do.

to four-consecutive MAC Championship games because you’re lucky.” The main goal for the Falcons will be to stop I l l i nois qua r terback Jordan Lynch and the Northern Illinois rushing attack, which is ranked No. 4 in the nation with an average of 318.9 rushing yards per game. Lynch is a dominant force as a passer and a runner. He has thrown for 2,457 yards and rushed for 1,755 yards, which is 748 more than the starting running back Cameron Stingily. “It’s very easy to get caught up in Jordan Lynch,” Clawson said. “He certainly deserves every accolade that he has received. But to say that he’s the whole football team would really not be fair.” BG’s defense gives up an average of 134.8 rushing yards per game, which is No. 28 in the nation. However, it only gives up an average of 161.8 passing yards per game, making them the nation’s fourth best behind Florida Atlantic University (161.1 per game), the University of Louisville (159.6 per game) and Florida State
“A lot of people don’t know what art students do,” Henley said. “This is a good way to show, ‘[this is] what our final looks like.’” Sophomore g raphic design major Tristan Saffron-Cottrell said the event is a good way for art students to stay connected with each other. “It lets us see what everybody else is doing,” Saffron-Cottrell said. Wojkiewicz said the segmented nature of ArtsX might make it easier for viewers to take in. “I think people are kind of intimidated to go to an art opening, or a [theatre] production,” he said. “[ArtsX is] almost like a sampler, where you can go from one performance or exhibition to another.” Wojkiewicz said the event is to raise awareness of University arts in general. “I guarantee you half the folks on campus haven’t been in any of these buildings,” he said. “If we can get people to come over here and see what happens, what energy [and]
creativity takes place in these buildings, they might be inclined to come back for something more substantial in the future.” Henley said the event is a good opportunity for art students as well. “Not everyday can students put their artwork in a show,” Henley said. “It’s a really good way for [our work to be] in a gallery in a professional manner.” Wojkiewicz said this year’s event had the departments involved work together more cohesively than in the past. “There’s a real conscience effort to pull this thing together,” Wojkiewicz said. “I would say this is the first year where you’re seeing a truly collaborative effort.” Legitimacy, Henley said, is an important part of showcasing student art. “Something I hear is, ‘it’s not really work if you enjoy it,’” Henley said. “We work really hard, too, and pay a lot of money for these projects. It takes a lot of time management to do these pieces.”
University (153.0 per game). This will be an area in which BG has the advantage because Northern Illinois averages only 223.4 passing yards per game, which is No. 72 in the country. With the given facts, BG’s defense has proven to be NIU’s most challenging this season. The Huskies have only faced one opponent who’s total defense is ranked in the upper half of the FBS — Iowa. Iowa’s defense in currently ranked No. 9 in the nation, only two places behind BG’s defense. The Hawkeyes, who averaged 303.2 yards per game, allowed 438 yards against Northern Illinois, 163 of which were rushing. This was NIU’s lowest rushing total in a game all season, and defeated Iowa on a field goal with four seconds remaining. BG’s offense has been more successful this season than Northern Illinois’ defense. Although the Huskies only give up an average of 147.9 rushing yards per game, they give up an average of 264.2 passing yards, putting them at No. 108 in the country. BG’s offense also never scored less than 24 points against MAC opponents and 10 points against nonconference opponents.
NIU’s defense allows an average of 23.6 points per game 35 points against the University of Idaho, who went 1-11 this season, and 39 points against Eastern Illinois University, a FCS opponent. Northern Illinois has won 12-straight games dating back to its 31-10 loss to the then-ranked No. 12 Florida State University Seminoles in the Discover Orange Bowl Jan. 1. Northern Illinois hasn’t lost to a MAC opponent since its 48-41 loss to Central Michigan University on Oct. 1, 2011. Despite the hy pe, Northern Illinois is only favored by three points, which is a testament of BG’s dominance on defense. “This has always been known as an offensive league and there’s always more than two thirds of the teams that are in the top half in offensive numbers,” Clawson said. “I’m proud of our defense and I think they are respected and they deserve it.” The MAC Championship game in Detroit between BG and Northern Illinois is set to kick off at 8 p.m. and tickets are still available online.

In a guest column last month, a faculty member questioned the cost and necessity of our new phone system. I wanted to take a moment to clear up some possible misconceptions.

Like any purchase we make at the University, we looked for a system that would meet the needs of our students and faculty at the best possible value. I believe we were extremely successful in meeting both of those goals. By partnering with two other Ohio Universities [Shawnee State and Ohio University] in the bidding process, we were able to secure a much better system at a slightly lower
Take control of your own identity, self definition Autumn Kunkel Columnist
Becoming a healthy, stable adult can be a difficult and even painful process. Growing up means that one has to slowly start becoming independent on various levels, ranging from that of financial independence to solid emotional stability. Another big part of growing up is learning how to unabashedly be the person that one so desires to be. In this level, there can be a lot of fierce opposition. People can be critical and fervently push for conformity, or for one to fit their own personal vision of what a decent human being should be. But what’s important to remember is that individuals alone are responsible for their own self-definition; they shouldn’t let the criticism of others or social stigmas stifle their own desired personal growth. Now, it should first be noted that not all criticism is necessarily bad, and some should be adhered to. If, for example, one goes around punching people in the face, and others criticize them for that behavior, then it might be wise to stop that behavior.
Five great quotes from Mandela
Causing pain to others – physical or otherwise – is not something that should be personally accepted or that one should take pride in. When I say one shouldn’t let the criticism of others or social stigmas stifle their desired development, I’m talking about the criticism of harmless traits that simply may not conform to the norm or to what others may envision as ideal for an individual. My personal experience has further encouraged this notion for me. I am a naturally loud, assertive human being. Being female, this means that growing up I got a lot of criticism for this trait, as people generally prefer females to be quiet and submissive. It was tough growing up; I always tried to be “daintier” or more fragile, but the fact of the matter is, that’s not who I am, and it never will be. In fact, I’ve grown to love the strong, not so dainty woman that I’ve become. My assertive trait that’s been so gallantly criticized is useful for my naturally ambitious persona; it is part of my own personal selfdefinition, and it’s not something that I would ever want to change. I mentioned that while growing up, people tried to stifle my natural assertiveness, but it’s something that I still deal with today.
1. “Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” 2. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

The only difference is that I have learned to brush that criticism right off, because it’s something that I personally have grown to like about myself. In my eyes, I am causing no harm with this trait. My assertiveness might rub some the wrong way or initially put people off, but it’s not completely detrimental to myself or others. My point is, while this trait might not be held in high regard by everyone, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, so it’s not something that really needs to be changed. Instead of completely changing this aspect of myself, I’ve allowed this characteristic to assimilate into my self-definition, and I feel better for letting myself be who I want to be instead of adhering to naysayers. I’ve used my own personal experience to demonstrate the point that, when it comes to one’s own personal definition, it’s important for them to take control of who they are and who they want to be. Something as intimate as self-definition is not something that should be left in the hands of others to deal with. The greatest gift to oneself is the ability to self-define as one so pleases and the greatest harm can be caused if one allows others to have that power. Respond to Autumn at thenews@bgnews.com

Embrace higher education as chance to learn, despite stress, workload paul mckenzie Columnist
The end of the semester is in sight. All the hard work done early in the term has paid off and now we can all coast and reap the rewards of hard work, right? Let me get back to reality. Get off your tail, quit procrastinating, and finish strong. As a graduate student I must tell you a little secret: this applies to us also. End of semester stress is real, it is palpable, and it is ever-present. None of us are immune to it. That being said, I feel we should savor it. As some of you know, I am firmly ensconced in middle age. I am 42 and I am loving school. Sure, papers are a chore as are exams, but they do pay off in the end; and I do not mean monetarily. They pay off in a much deeper way. I started college in the fall of 1990 at age 19. I did not earn my bachelor’s degree until 2011 at the age of 40. Yes, there were many stops and starts during that time and I racked up student loans I will not pay off until I am 121, but I learned much from classes and life. This column is about both.

I always had the smarts to do well in college; that was not the issue. What was the issue was a deep-seeded self-loathing that ruined every attempt to do well academically. This self-hatred led me to be academically dismissed from our University in 1999. As you can certainly infer, academically dismissed means I flunked out. I was not allowed back into the University for five years. The shame and disgust that accompanies flunking out is strong. I did not tell anyone about it for years. Until this column today, my dad still does not know the truth. I lied to friends, acquaintances and my family. I just could not possibly tell them the truth.

I made life-long friends whom I adore. I viewed my professors as friends and people I could trust. I can say I truly, absolutely and completely loved my three years of a second chance at BGSU-Firelands. Is graduate school more stressful? You bet it is. It certainly is not more stressful than flunking out, hating myself and seeing school as a chore or a means to an end. That is why I implore you and myself to truly indulge in the cliché of stopping to smell the roses. These college years are flat-out terrific. Make your first chance count, do not squander it like I did. Enjoy yourselves, but enjoy learning too. Thirst for fun but also thirst for knowledge.

Remember it as an oasis in our chaotic lives. Let these thoughts carry you as we finish our exams and papers.

The BG men’s ice hockey team will face the University of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers this weekend at the BGSU Ice Arena. Both games are on Friday and Saturday night and will start at 7:07 p.m. The Falcons are 5-1-1 overall on home ice for the season. The Chargers come into the series with a record of 0-14-0 and 0-8-0 in WCHA conference play. The Chargers are currently the only NCAA Division I ice hockey program in the southern United States. Friday night will be the 11th meeting between the Falcons and Chargers. BG has a 7-2-1 all-time record against the chargers. The Falcons are also unbeaten at home against the Chargers with a 4-0-1 record at the BGSU Ice Arena. BG lost 4-3 to the 16th ranked Lake Superior State University Lakers last Friday night in a WCHA game. The Falcons had three different skaters score goals and sophomore goaltender Tommy Burke made 20 saves in the losing effort. Senior forward Bryce Williamson recorded an assist during the game from Brent Tate’s goal. Williamson’s point total is now 15 and leads the team. His 15 points are also tied for fourth overall in the WCHA. BG also lost 4-3 on Saturday night to the Lakers in the finale of the weekend series. The Falcons had three different skaters score goals and freshman goaltender Tomas Sholl made 28 saves in the loss. Sophomore forward Dajon Mingo scored two goals during the game and ended a drought of 26 consecutive games without a goal dating back to last year. Mingo’s two goal night also gave him a new single game career high. BG forward Adam Berkle will miss the Falcons home series this weekend because of a hip pointer, according to head coach Chris Bergeron. “We think he could really improve quickly,

Women’s basketball hosts Milwaukee, won three straight Falcons return home after five consecutive road games, won 7 of first 8 games By Tara Jones Reporter
The BG women’s basketball team will return to the Stroh Center for the first time in nearly a month, taking on University of WisconsinMilwaukee Sunday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. UW-Milwaukee is 2-5 in the season so far. The Panthers have suffered home losses to
Wisconsin, Western Illinois and North Dakota. They have defeated North Dakota State at home. Milwaukee also lost on the road to New Mexico and dropped a game to Lamar in the Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic. The Panthers defeated host New Mexico State in the same Classic. The Panthers return 10 letterwinners, including
three starters, from the 201213 season. Last year’s team finished 9-20 overall and 5-11 in the Horizon League. Bowling Green head coach Jennifer Roos said that Milwaukee head coach Kyle Rechlicz will be very well prepared for Sunday’s matchup. Rechlicz was on the coaching staff at the University of

The BG men’s basketball team will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio for a matchup with Xavier University at 2 p.m. Saturday. The Musketeers started the season with an impressive 5-0 record but have dropped three straight since then. All three of those losses came in the Battle for Atlantis mid-season tournament an overtime loss to Iowa and another loss to USC stopped their trip to the Bahamas early. “They played good teams on a neutral site,” head coach Louis Orr said. “No game is easy we have to be aware that they are going to hungry team.” Their worst loss from the Bahamas came against Tennessee University and lost that game as well by a score of 64-49. Semaj Christian is a very
dynamic point guard for the Musketeers as he leads them in points per game and assists per game. “Semaj is a very tough point guard,” forward Spencer Parker said. “I know he will be a main focal point of ours.” This Musketeer team has had a problem with holding on to the ball so far this year as they are averaging 14 turnovers a game. This should play right into the Falcons game as they have shown in past games that they are very good at forcing turnovers and finishing the fast break afterwards. “We can get them to turn over the ball as much as they are averaging then that will be huge for us,” Parker said. “We have been playing well in transition so that would be great for us.” While the Musketeers are bad at keeping control of the ball, they make up for it with their ability to score in transition off
of turnovers or defensive rebounds. Rebounding will be something the Falcons will need to focus on as they have a -1.1 differential in that stat. Staying out of foul trouble will only help the Falcons in the rebound category. In previous games fouls have hindered big men Cameron Black, Richaun Holmes and Josh Gomez. With the three of them in foul trouble it forces Coach Orr to use reserves who do not have the height of those three. “Foul trouble can always affect you but you need to have depth,” Orr said. “We need to get Gomez comfortable out there because you need to have depth.” Craig Sealey has had a big impact off of the bench as he is working his way back to 100 percent from his offseason knee injury.

Dayton from 2007 to 2011 and has gone head-to-head with the Falcons before. Roos said that Rechlicz is therefore very familiar with their system. Roos added that she is happy with where the Falcons are right now. She said that four of her players are averaging double figures and that the team is ranked 26th in the country right now in scoring defense. However, Roos said she knows non-conference records are just “window dressings” compared to conference play, where the record “counts for real.” “Overall I’m pleased with where we stand right now at 7-1, and we’ve become as I said some tested road warriors,” Roos said. “We’re just happy to be back at home.” Following their game with Milwaukee, the Falcons will have an all-Sunday slate throughout the entire month of December. BG will take on the University of Massachusetts next Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Stroh Center before traveling into Big Ten country yet again this season to take on Purdue Dec. 22. The Falcons will then return to the Stroh to face Saint Francis on Dec. 29 in their final matchup before entering MidAmerican Conference play.

There are specialized groups for men, women, young adults, and youth. They invite you to join them in worship and guarantee that you will feel at home. The Alliance founder Dr. A. B.

He called it the Fourfold Gospel, and it’s all about Jesus—our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. The C&MA is a focus of The Alliance, it’s a light-bearing, Jesus-centered missions and churchplanting movement with a deeper life at its heart. Rather than just a church looking to build its own kingdom, the people of Alliance “go.”

The Falcons will look to go back over that .500 mark with a win in Cincin nat i Sat u rday, while the Musketeers will look to avoid a four game losing streak. “We have to be a hungrier team Saturday,” Orr said.

November, the Falcons played against three different ranked opponents on the road.
