USG Senatorsat-large announce candidacy Undergraduate Student Government senators see wasted potential By Will Channell Managing Editor
Final Chorus Carol Hayward, director of the Falcon Marching Band speaks in annual “Last Lecture” series
By Natasha Ivery Reporter
Thursday night, the old slogan ‘once a falcon, always a falcon’ has never rang more true, as the BGSU Mortar Board hosted the annual “Last Lecture Series.” In the series they pick a professor or faculty member who is retiring and give them the opportunity to give one final lecture on whatever subject they choose. “We had the honor of choosing Dr. Carol Hayward, director of the Falcon Marching Band as our last lecturer,” said senior Katherine Hickey, president of the BGSU Mortar Board, which is the National Senior Honor Society. “I knew she’d be excellent and we are honored to hear her last lecture.” Standing at the podium of the Union theater, Dr. Hayward began her lecture explaining how honored and excited she was to give her last lecture and commenting on the amount of band students that were there. Dr. Hayward began her presentation by giving an overview of her childhood and what led her to band and instruments. “I loved to sing, I began in fourth grade as the little blue angel in choir. Can’t you see my halo?” she said jokingly. She ultimately decided she wanted to be a band director at a young age. She described how her professor said she couldn’t be a band director, but she pushed forward. She met her husband on a band trip her junior year of college, and after she graduated she landed her first job as a middle school band teacher. Showing a turtle meme to

When Undergraduate Student Government [USG] senators-at-large Trenten Grohe and Kaylee Meade look at the University’s student government senate, they see wasted potential. “We see a very inactive senate right now,” Grohe said. “What are we seeing to actually benefit the BGSU community as whole?” Not a lot, Grohe said. Grohe and Meade recently announced their candidacy for President and Vice President, respectively, of USG. This school year, USG has passed two resolutions and a few amendments to student government bylaws. Grohe and Meade said they believe this to be a small amount of activity given the government’s role of representing University students. “Kaylee and I both looked at each other and said, ‘how can we go back to the drawing board to make USG more accessible to not only students, but to administrative staff also,’” Grohe said. Grohe cited a recent example when Senator Edward Vaughn voiced concerns about the lack of a multicultural lounge, or an inherently inclusive space for minority groups to study. “That’s fine when Vaughn comes and proposes that to USG and talks about the concerns, but where’s the follow up action on that?,” Grohe said. “Where are we breaking out to our committee and saying, ‘let’s explore this.’” The Grohe/Meade platform is built on what they call “Straight A’s for BGSU,” or a list of concepts both want to focus on that all start with the letter A. These concepts are Academics, Acceptance, Atmosphere, Accountability and Accessibility. Much of this platform deals not only with increasing USG effectiveness, but also fostering diversity and spreading awareness of student academic services. The full rundown of the Straight As for BGSU is available online at bgnews.com. “We’ve already started going to different organizations,” Meade said.

University employees, panelists discuss effects of race on raising sons SHOW YOUR TALENT By Natasha Ivery Reporter
Lots of events happen at the University to celebrate Black History Month. Wednesday, the Brown Bag Lunch series in Hanna Hall hosted a special discussion in the series to do just that. This week’s Brown Bag Discussion Series was “Somebody’s Son … My Son: Mothering African-American Boys” and was a continuation in the University’s campus-wide celebration and dialogue of Black History Month. The discussion was also a precursor for the visit of Oscar Grant’s mother, Rev. Wanda Grant, to the University next Tuesday for a screening of “Fruitvale Station,” a movie based on the life and death of

The event was facilitated by three African-American women who are all employees at the University: Kesha Taylor, employee at the Career Center and mother of two boys; Emily Monago, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and mother of a high school-age son; and Terrie Cook, a TRIO Office administrative who’s also the mother of a high school-age son.

The dialogue then shifted into a PowerPoint presentation concerning cases of police brutality against African-American men and boys.

USG From Page 1 “We’ve more so done it just to make sure everybody knows that elections are coming up, but continuing to do that and making sure everybody knows what USG is.” Grohe and Meade’s campaign announcement comes at a time when USG is attempting to increase awareness. Late last month, an initiative to raise student consciousness of USG was announced by the student government. “We [want] to make constituents very aware of who their senator is,” Meade said. Both Grohe and Meade have a history of non-student governmental leadership at the University. Grohe is currently the president of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and is a Residential Advisor at Kreischer Ashley/Batchelder. Meade is Vice President of Philanthropy in the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and a campus tour guide. “We may not hold leadership roles in the senate, outside the senate we definitely have the experience to manage [USG],” Grohe said.
Common read author speaks to University on identity, passion “Every decision, good or bad has helped me become who I am today.”
By Carlye Pollack Reporter
Finding what you’re passionate about in life and doing whatever it takes to live out that destiny is the message that author Wes Moore portrayed to audience members. Students, faculty and community members gathered on Wednesday evening to listen to Moore speak on his book, “The Other Wes Moore.” His inspiration stems from his relationship that was formed with a man serving life in prison, who is also named Wes Moore. His book was the common read for this year’s freshman class, focusing on the theme of identity. “The common read gives us common ground,” said
Wes Moore | Author
University President Mary Ellen Mazey. “It binds us in terms of what we know about ourselves, what we can think about ourselves, where we are today, where we want to be in the future and the paths we take through life.” Moore emphasized to audience members the importance of developing a foundation of higher education and using that throughout the choices we make. “Higher education is how you take that foundation to have it mean something for a larg-
er impact on the world you live in,” Moore said. “The potential is universal, the opportunity is not.” He talked about the life lessons that he endured and how they have shaped who he is. “Every decision, good or bad, has helped me become who I am today,” Moore said. “Even our worst decisions don’t separate us from the rest of humanity.” Moore’s speech inspired many students, including sophomore Audrey McMahon. “I’m excited to go back home and read it,” McMahon said. Mazey, who was raised by a single mother like Moore, was also inspired by the influence that Moore’s mother had on his life and what she did to help him become who he is today. Audience members also had

house, especially if they are going to a social event. “On one hand it’s unfair, because the only people that are having to have these conversations like this with their kids are people of color, but on the other hand we want them to come home safe,” said Monago. Incidents of racial profiling in the local area also came up. “When my daughter attended [the University] four years ago and we moved her in, one of the campus police officers was just straight up rude to us, talked to us like we were dirt,” Cook said. “He treated all the other families nicely and we were one of the only families of color moving in that day.

the opportunity to ask questions toward the end. When asked his advice on students who may lack the confidence in making a difference in the world Moore said, “that journey of making a difference has already begun.” He emphasized finding passion in work, and using that passion to leave a legacy. Moore’s passion stems from areas of different experiences. Aside from being an author, he is a youth advocate, army combat veteran, social entrepreneur and the host of “Beyond Belief” on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Moore has used his talents to teach others to be the best they can be. “We are products of our own expectations,” Moore said. “Who will you choose to fight for?”
Topics like race and privilege were mentioned frequently. “Honestly, the people with privilege need to challenge authority, nonpeople of color like me,” said Mary Krueger, director of the Women’s Center. “I have two stepsons and have never had to have that conversation with them.” One white woman in the group explained how she had to explain to her black son about the Michael Brown case in relation to people at school. “My son is the only black kid in his class, and he goes to a school in Perrysburg,” she said. “ I had to call the school and tell them to put out a memo about sensitivity because it was the day after the verdict. He was terrified people would be on social media and confront him. I had to prep him to stay out of everything.” Taylor and Cook both stressed the importance of black males being respectful and understanding their reality.

“Just listen, do as you’re told, and know your rights,” Taylor said. “You have constitutional rights,” Cook said. “Due to the society we live in, to protect our seed, we’re going to prep them on knowing the tragic things that can happen to them so they can internalize it and get home safe. The key word is that these men are unarmed. As for how to protect their psyche, I have no answers.” Monago stated that having opportunities to have family conversations help. “Hav ing opportunities to have family discussions and fostering healthy relationships and dialogues help, creating a narrative to a positive road of responsibility,” Monago said. Dobbins concluded the discussion with something for group members to remember and take home. “All of our boys belong to every single one of us, and all of us are responsible,” Dobbins said.

Media Review: “Kingsman: The Secret Service”
Movie violent, over-the-top; Samuel L. Jackson delivers strong performance By Zach Ferguson Reporter
Violence is seen in movies all the time. It is even seen in kids’ television shows. After a while, violence is something we as viewers just come to expect and we become bored by it. “Kingsman: The Secret Service” is a much-welcome refresher to the violent action genre. “Kingsman” is an over-the-top spy movie that knows that it’s an over-the-top spy movie. Originally a graphic novel written by Mark Millar, the motionless panels have been given life beautifully by director Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn and Millar have worked together before on the wannabe
superhero movie “Kick-Ass,” which was also a graphic novel written by Millar. With “Kingsman,” you see a lot of the same styles that you see in other Vaughn movies, one example being that the violence is played out like a ballet. The highly violent action is so smooth and precise that you get sucked in to the scene and you feel like you’re in a daze when it is done. The crowning jewel of this movie would have to be Samuel L. Jackson’s villainous character named Valentine. Valentine is a special character: he’s a tech billionaire who wears young people’s clothes, has a lisp and throws up at the sight of blood. With a touch of Jackson’s manic charm, Valentine becomes
a villain you love somewhat more than the good guys. To make things even more exciting, Valentine has a personal servant who kills with prosthetic bouncy legs that extend deadly sharp knives. Jackson’s antagonist is opposed by the heroes of the movie, The Kingsmen, a secret organization that is run by suave James Bond-like spies. The movie’s main character Eggsy is played by new-to-the-scene actor Taron Egerton. Eggsy, a rebellious kid, is recruited by gentleman spy Harry Hart [Colin Firth] to join the Kingsmen’s service, just as Eggsy’s father was.

Media Review: “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” By William Channell Managing Editor
Ahhhhh, raps. One of the great artforms of our time, rapping provides perhaps the purest expression of emotion of any currently popular music form. Case in point: Drake. Consummate rapsman. Greatest ever, by his own admission. The first song on his newest album, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, Drake says, “when I pull up on a [guy] watch that [guy] back back/I’m too good with these words, watch a [guy] backtrack.” The moment these words emit from your speakers, a wave of endorphins are sure to wash over you. “Yes,” you will think, “Shady’s back.” And not a moment too soon.

Lionface Productions will have auditions for its one act play festival on Feb. 25 and 26 from 6-9 p.m. in Moseley Hall, room 309. Four plays will be performed at this year’s festival, said Michael Portteus, artistic director for Lionface. There are some connections between the shows. “I can’t give too much away about it now ... because some of the through lines are not evident right away,” Portteus said. “This year we ended up with a couple things that sort of fit thematically together very well.” The four plays together should run about two hours, Portteus said. This will be Lionface’s fifth one act festival.

“Birdman” or “Boyhood?” Linklater or Iñárritu? Michael Keaton or Eddie Redmayne? And will veteran Julianne Moore finally take home an award? These are the questions film buffs are asking themselves in preparation for the Oscars this Sunday. Of the eight solid, although not superb, movies nominated for Best Picture, two independent films have been singled out as likely winners: the blazing and creative “Birdman” and the critically acclaimed intimate coming-of-age epic “Boyhood.” Of the two, my pick is “Birdman.” It’s daring, original, beautifully filmed, features the strongest cast of all the nominees, and takes unique risks that deserve to be rewarded. Additionally, Academy voters love films that deal with actors and show
business (think recent winners “Argo” and “The Artist.”) The award for Best Director also seems to be between “Boyhood” and “Birdman.” While I’d like to see Alejandro González Iñárritu win for the immersive and exhilarating style he infuses into “Birdman,” and it’s not out of the question considering he recently won a Director Guild of America Award for his work, it seems likely the honor will go to Richard Linklater. His direction is sensitive, intelligent and reaches almost a new level of surrealism. Most of all though, I think voters will appreciate the dedication involved in taking on this twelve-year project. The Best Actress race at least has a clear winner: Julianne Moore. Forget DiCaprio, Moore is undoubtedly the most talented actor or actress working today who has yet to win an Oscar. She’s

long overdue and her impressive, nuanced and gripping performance as a linguistics professor who’s been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in “Still Alice” is poised to land her an Academy Award at last. The Best Actor race is looking fairly competitive this year, with strong performances all around from established British and American actors. But it looks like it will either be Redmayne or Keaton. Redmayne for his transformative turn as famed physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, in what his clearly his best role to date that forces him to stretch his emotional and physical abilities. It’s biographical, too, which is always a plus. Keaton, though, gives such a surprising, eccentric and captivating turn in “Birdman” as a washed-up Hollywood actor trying to make a comeback
so much so that it’s like he’s not even there. This new album is a fever dream, and as I listen I look out through yellow eyes, puffing dank with jaundiced cheeks, and develop a sense of contentment. But then my mind wanders. Am I real? Is anything real, or is all reality an emphemeral joke meant to taunt us until we fade slowly, and unceasingly, into oblivion? Full disclosure, I haven’t actually listened to this album. I looked at the song titles and kind of inferred what they would be like from there, based largely off nothing. I had not previously heard of Drake, nor his supposedly glorious rap. Drake is a great rap ‘n roller.

on Broadway that it’s difficult, almost impossible, to see anyone else walking home with the Oscar here. My money’s on Keaton. The least competitive category of the night will no doubt be Best Supporting Actor. Not necessarily because the other actors nominated aren’t good, but because J.K. Simmons gives such a powerhouse, superb performance that no one can compete. I didn’t even look at who else was nominated before predicting this win. J.K. Simmons has long been an impressive actor known for his character work, but his work in “Whiplash” changes everything. He’s completely reinvented himself here playing an abusive music teacher. It’s terrifying to watch him, but also an absolute pleasure. Best Supporting Actress on the other hand is a little more open in terms of who may win. The frontrunner is Patricia
Arquette for “Boyhood,” but I think there may be an upset. Emma Stone gave an unexpected, but absolutely terrific and fearless performance in “Birdman.” She thrived in her scenes with Keaton, no easy task, and filled the movie with moments of wit and insight. I can’t see how she can top this, and hope she’ll be awarded come awards night. So far I haven’t predicted awards in any of the major categories for one of the mostnominated films, “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” but that’s about to change. The film is a shoe-in for Best Original Screenplay. It’s witty, funny, creative, and unusual in all the right ways, all characteristics particular to past winners of this award [such as “Her,” “Juno,” “Little Miss Sunshine,” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”]. The 2015 Academy Awards will air Sunday night on ABC.

HARRY HART [Colin Firth] walks with Eggsy [Taron Egerton].
The acting fits with the overthe-top nature of the movie. The movie’s over-the-top-ness does become more prevalent as the movie goes on. By the end of the movie, Eggsy, a oncerelatable character, morphs into something like Sean Connery in the early James Bond movies. This is not quite a bad thing, as the movie is not supposed to make you really feel for any of the characters on a deeper level. The characters are there as more of a vehicle for the action. If you want to have your brain turned on because of violence then this is the movie for you. It is smart, funny and Samuel L. Jackson is doing his thing.

Anonymous sources overused in LGBTQIA+ safe spaces necessary NFL, sports reporting for growth and education A nameless Cleveland Browns player nabbed headlines across every major online sports news outlet on Monday after making a comment to Mike Freeman, Bleacher Report’s NFL national lead writer, about considering where his team would be if they had drafted Teddy Bridgewater. Apparently, this was a quote that could only be printed under the condition of anonymity. Freeman’s article goes on to explain in detail how some of the Browns players have lost confidence in Johnny Manziel’s ability to play quarterback at the professional level. This is something entirely understandable. Everyone who’s seen Manziel play in the NFL, albeit just six quarters, should to some extent share those same concerns. It’s hardly even “news.” It may not have been if not for the unknown Browns player willing to share his story of essentially whining to another teammate regarding the Manziel draft pick and wondering about Bridgewater as an alternative. Doing so anonymously, of course. What’s the value in that? An NFL player wishes his team had a potentially better quarterback... Yeah, so does everyone else. An NFL player sharing his thoughts about his team, even if harsh, is absolutely fine. It should be encouraged. So should a willingness to put

your name by it. Karlos Dansby came out and publicly criticized both Manziel and rookie Justin Gilbert. Donte Whitner and Joe Haden did the same. They had the courage to do so on the record and their words had more credibility as a result. Players, coaches, or front office members from the NFL that come out to whine to the media about his specific team only on the condition of anonymity lack that same level of credibility. If they had any fortitude with regards to the very issue they’re whining about, they’d be willing to put their name to it. Even more importantly for them, perhaps they’d consider taking it up with the person they have an issue with. A popular rebuttal is that anonymous sources brought down Richard Nixon. Well, with NFL sources whining about their team anonymously, we’re not talking about revelations that will unveil corruption in the White House, Berea, or anywhere else. I would enthusiastically support a Browns player, or a player from any team, being an anonymous source on something actually important, like medically hazardous training facilities, or

schemes to cover up players serious health issues. This is not that. No, what we are talking about here is merely the players making headline grabbing statements for clickbait stories because of some perceived controversy. If this isn’t transparent enough for you, look no further than this very headline itself: “Manziel Teammate” thinks about his team with Bridgewater instead. The guy is a Manziel teammate long before he’s a Browns player in this one. There’s no problem with reporting on newsworthy Manziel stories. His entering rehab was definitely a newsworthy story. But some random player that doesn’t even have the courage to put his name to a nonchalant comment like, “think about” the Browns with Bridgewater, is not news. I, too, certainly wanted Bridgewater far more than I ever wanted Manziel last year and was clear about it. I would have gladly supported taking Bridgewater at No. 4 overall. But it’s well past May 2014. What good does it do now to harp on this pick? This “if only we had picked…” sentiment does absolutely no good, for fans and especially for players. Sure, we all wish our teams had great quarterbacks, but is that wish really newsworthy?

This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to a podunk town in Illinois named Normal to learn, grow and be educated with more than 2,000 LGBTQIA+ identified students. Activists, outliers, friends, couples, freaks and geeks gathered together to achieve one common goal: to be themselves. One of the main speakers that kicked out off the conference was Laverne Cox, a transgendered woman who starred in Orange Is The New Black. Cox spoke about her story and urged us to resist the urge to internally shame ourselves and have hard conversations that will change others perspectives. Inspired and moved by Cox’s words, I’m ready to have that hard conversation. Yes, I spent a whole weekend crammed in hotel rooms with kids who had bronchitis. And yes, I spent a whole weekend learning about kink culture and how to respect new pronouns like “Ne/nem/nir/nirs/ nemself.” And yes I learned how to be an appropriate ally for those who have different privileges or a lack of privileges. To some, this might sound tedious and somewhat boring, but finding the beauty in social activism made my weekend go by so much faster. The weekend came to an end with a conference wide

dance. They packed us all in a ballroom and let us run wild. When my friends and I walked in, a wall of hot sweaty bodies met us full force. We were finagled into dancing in the center like we use to at our respective overcrowded high school dances. It was amazing. Amidst the horrible line dances and repeated songs that were popular in 2008, I couldn’t help but get a little emotional. And no, it wasn’t reminiscing over Flo Rida’s Low. It was the idea that I was lucky. I was lucky to be supported. I have a ton of friends who supported me when I made the decision to come out and I have friends who continue to do so as I discover my identity and how that falls in line with who I am as a person and my place in the world. I am lucky to be validated in who I am and my desire to make the world a slightly better place for all my LGBTQIA+ brothers and sisters. I am lucky to be loved, valued and seen as important. As I watched teenagers just like me be themselves
at their truest form on the dance floor, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with the amount of pain that was being shed for this one weekend. The person next to me might have no connection to their family members any longer because they chose to love who they love or maybe another is struggling with their identity and having a tremendous amount of body dysphoria that is clouding their mind and their judgments. Maybe the kids over in the corner are desperate to be called gender-neutral pronouns but their campuses or home life doesn’t support anything other than the gender binary. For this weekend, they were allowed to be themselves. They were respected and validated. They were loved. It’s a hard pill to swallow. My heart was breaking for the students that were allowed only a slice of the heaven that is my reality. It created a goal in my heart and my mind. I demand and urge each student here at the University to open up and create safer spaces. Young adults should not have to pay money to attend a conference that allows them to be granted their humanity.

Poor shooting plagues Falcons despite prolific game from Richaun By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
The Bowling Green men’s basketball team never seemed to get in a good shooting rhythm. Despite a big day from Richaun Holmes, the Falcons’ shooting woes were too much to overcome as Miami [10-16, 5-8] defeated the Falcons 67-56. The Falcons came in atop the Mid-American Conference standings, but their inabilty to get anybody besides Holmes going doomed them. Holmes finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and two steals. No other Falcon scored more than seven points in the game. With the loss the Falcons fall to 17-7 and 9-4 in MAC play. With wins from Central Michigan,
Toledo and Kent State the Falcons are now in a four-way tie for first place. The Falcons started the first half well, leading 22-13 with 6:16 to go, but then things swung in favor of Miami. The Redhawks went on an 11-2 run, behind a three point play, two three pointers and a Zach McCormick jumper. “I felt like we had missed a golden opportunity in that first half,” Jans said. The Falcons weathered the Redhawks storm and went into the half with a 33-31 lead. Holmes finished the half 17 points, six rebounds and three blocks. Holmes got just two more shots the entire game,

Bye week helps prepare Falcons for season’s final stretch By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor

PAIGE APKARIAN | THE BG NEWS
Looking to right the ship, the Bowling Green women’s basketball team will attempt to jump back into the win column this weekend. With the noted struggles for the Falcons this season, they meet a similarly struggling Mid-American Conference opponent this weekend. BG [9-15, 2-11 MAC] takes on Kent State [4-20, 2-11] at home in a game that poses multiple favorable matchups for the Falcons. The Golden Flashes have lost nine of their last 10 wile struggling to score. KSU shoots just 60.2 percent as a team from the line while the Falcons shoot a nation’s third-best 78.0 percent from the charity stripe. The Golden Flashes are near even with the Falcons in rebounding while scoring just under 55 points per game. However, with just nine free throws in the first game, BG needs to do a better job of winning the free throw battle, said head coach Jennifer Roos. The Flashes do have inside presence that could be problematic for BG. Shortly after the injury bug hit the Falcons earlier in the season, preparing to play their first game without starting center Abby Siefker, they traveled to a 2-11
[at the time] Kent State team. KSU used its notable size to defeat BG, 55-48, which left the Falcons on a 5-game losing streak. Center CiCi Shannon and forward Jordan Korinek combined for 29 points and 26 rebounds while shooting 12-for-18 [66.7 percent] from the field in the early-season game. Their combined season averages however, are just 16.8 points, 13.3 rebounds while shooting 49.5 percent from the field. This is something that BG is cognizant of and will look to limit in its game on Saturday. “We want to limit the point differential in the paint obviously, but we’re not going to stop it due to the size difference,” Roos said. “It’s difficult to guard against kids with that size, so we’re going to have to be creative.” While creativity will help the Falcons, having energy around the basket will be key for them too. “It’s all effort-based, working really hard to box out, guards coming in and swooping rebounds and trying to deny highpost passes,” said senior guard Deborah Hoekstra. “The biggest thing is effort and trying to be in good position to counter them and limit second chance points.” The Falcons have had an extended period of time to prepare for this inside presence both mentally and physically.

Falcons sit in third place in WCHA, look to gain ground at home against Northern Michigan By Corey Krupa Reporter
The BG hockey team needs a tie this weekend to earn home ice advantage in the first round of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association tournament. The Falcons enter the weekend series against Northern Michigan with 31 points on the season. BG trails the first place Minnesota State Mavericks by nine points and second place Michigan Tech by eight points. The Falcons have a nine point lead advantage over Alaska, who is ineligible for the WCHA tournament. Northern Michigan enters the weekend series with a four-game losing streak and is 11-13-6 overall. The Wildcats are tied for fifth in the WCHA with 20 points on the season. Last December, BG tied Northern Michigan 5-5 on
the road. The following night, the Falcons won 5-0. BG goalie Chris Nell earned a shutout and Pierre-Luc Mercier and Ben Murphy each scored two goals in the game. However, Nor t her n Michigan has not lost at the BGSU Ice Arena in its previous four games there. “I really feel that Northern’s really good on the road. This is going to be a tough series. They are a desperate team playing for playoff positioning. It’s going to be a battle. They are a team that will fight you for it every night,” said BG head coach Chris Bergeron. The Wildcats are currently ranked seventh in nation in combined special teams percentage. Additionally, they have the 15th best penalty killing unit in the nation at 86.1 percent. Northern Michigan’s
goalie Mathis Dahlstrom, has a .924 save percentage that ranks 23rd in the country. Dahlstrom also has a 2.18 goals against average and four shutouts on the season. BG’s 18-7-5 overall record is now the program’s best start to a season since 1986-1987. The team was ranked sixth in the country according to the USCHO.com poll. Last weekend, the Falcons won 4-1 on Friday at Ferris State. However, the Falcons lost 3-2 in overtime in Saturday’s series finale. The Falcons were previously unbeaten in 16 games on Saturdays. The team outscored its opponents 47-27 during that streak. In last Friday’s win, BG goalie Tommy Burke tied his career-high with 43 saves. Brandon Hawkins, Ben Greiner, Brent Tate and
Matt Pohlkamp recorded goals in the win. Mitchell McClain also tallied two assists. In last Saturday’s game, Ferris State scored two goals in the first period to take an early 2-0 lead. Adam Berkle scored in the second period with an assist from Matt Pohlkamp to cut the lead in half. Then, in the third period, Ben Murphy scored to tie the game 2-2. Brandon Hawkins had an assist on the play. However, with 78 seconds left in the overtime period, Ferris State scored to win the game 3-2 and split the weekend series. BG goalie Chris Nell recorded 38 saves in the loss. Both games against Northern Michigan this Friday and Saturday will start at 7:07 p.m. BG looks to improve on their 14-5-3 conference record.
Gymnastics team coming on strong after struggles By Terrance Davis Reporter
Resilience has been the theme of the 2015 season for the Bowling Green gymnastics team. The Falcons began the season with high expectations after guiding the program to its best finish in 22 years in 2014. Expectations soared after the Falcons opened the 2015 season with a 194.775 to 194.075 victory over Michigan State, their first over a Big Ten Conference opponent since 2004. The win propelled BG to its second-best national ranking in program history and first placement inside the Gym Info Top 20 in 14 years. However, things quickly fell apart after that. BG’s once-promising season appeared headed for disappointment after the Falcons turned in subpar team performances in their next three meets.
MEN’S From Page 6 however, and the Falcon offense struggled without his offensive production. “They did a good job of game planning against him and us for that matter,” Jans said. “We’ve got to figure out a way when people do that to not get out of rhythm.” The Redhawks adjusted their defense in the second half and began sending mul-
The Falcons had lost their confidence, lacked focus and, at times, appeared disinterested. After another letdown performance in their loss to Mid-American Conference opponent Ea ster n Michigan, head coach Kerri Turner finally intervened. “After a couple rough meets, coach made us come together as a team and had like a three-hour long talk about what we were struggling with and why we were having so many problems,” said senior Gina Locigno. “That meeting helped bring us together and we all have become a lot closer because of it.” That meeting changed everything, and since that day, the Falcons have been different. Over its last three meets, BG has recorded a team score above a 195.000. That’s a first in program history. “We are really excited about the way we per-
tiple people at Holmes when he got the ball as well as double teaming the guard on the wing before he could make the entry pass. “We expected the change in defenses and different looks, and we certainly didn’t react to it very well,” Jans said. Among the different looks that the Redhawks threw at the Falcons was their full court press. The press seemed to shake the Falcons in the second half as
“Our mindset and our intensity has completely changed and I’m proud...” Kerrie Turner | Head Coach formed over the last few meets and those high scores will be crucial for us getting to NCAA postseason which is a huge goal of ours,” Turner said. “Our mindset and our intensity has completely changed and I’m proud of the way these girls have rebounded from those early struggles.” Eliminating distractions has been essential to the team’s turnaround. “We had a tendency to look at the scoreboard after we completed our routines and when we didn’t get the scores we thought we should have, we sort of let it get under our skin,” Ellingboe said. “So now
the Redhawks took the lead with 11:30 to go and never looked back. “We had a little bit of miscommunication down the stretch,” said senior guard Jehvon Clarke. “We just couldn’t make the shots we normally make and when you can’t make those shots it makes the game a lot harder to win.” The Falcons will look to bounce back from this loss when they host Buffalo Saturday at 2 p.m.

Central Michigan has placed first at the MAC Championships across the last five seasons and has qualified for the NCAA regionals in each of the past six. They currently sit atop the MAC standings with Northern Illinois at 3-1. The Falcons know they will have to step it up a notch against the Chippewas. “Central is a great team and we will need to bring our best this weekend,” Turner said. “Our girls know what they are going up against but we are also confident that we can beat them if keep performing the way we have been.”

Students work server jobs, struggle with tips By Natasha Ivery Reporter
For students that have jobs as servers, waiters, waitresses and delivery people, college can be stressful. A number of students at the University have a job; everywhere from on-campus jobs like at the library and off campus jobs like at Buffalo Wild Wings. But there’s a difference between the money that regular workers make than that of servers. “In general, delivery people and servers make about $4.50 an hour, which is different from minimum wage,” said Spencer Calcamuggio, delivery driver for The Cookie Jar and student at the University. “But with tips, I usually make around $10 an hour on an average night.” Senior Allison Bailey, who works at Mr. Spots in downtown Bowling Green, said that her payment method is slightly different. “At Spots, since we’re not really servers, we make minimum wage plus tips split up between workers on the counter and grill,” said Bailey. “So on a weekend, I’d make around $85 in an 8.5 hour shift. But on a weekday from a four hour shift, I’d only make about $36.” Sophomore Amanda De Long works at Cracker Barrel in Perrysburg and said it’s usually pretty busy. “Without tips, I usually make $30-$40 a week. With tips, I can make up to $45 on a week day and on Saturday and Sundays I have made up to $175 in one day. But the shifts are usually eight hours.” For most students, the busiest shifts occur on the weekends. “We’re definitely busiest during bar rushes, Friday and Saturday night dinners and Sunday games,” said Bailey. Cracker Barrel is often full of families on the weekend, said De Long, especially Sundays because people eat breakfast and come back after church. “For Cookie Jar, we’re busy on Friday and Saturdays, but if we have a popular Cookie of the Day during the week, that day will be busy too,” said Calcamuggio. In general, people are supposed to tip 10 percent or more after their meal, but amounts vary greatly. “I usually tip 10 percent or so,” said sophomore Matthew Murray.

“Students tip anywhere from $0-2, I rarely see a big tip from a student.” Allison Bailey | Mr. Spots employee Senior Zachariah Davis said he tips 10 percent and service plays a major part. “A lot of it depends on the attitude of the person serving me,” said Davis. A lot of students tip different amounts, if any at all. “Students tip anywhere from $0-2. I rarely see a big tip from a student,” said Bailey. De Long said 15 percent is the typical amount, but students usually don’t tip. “Unless it’s a guy and his date, students usually don’t tip,” said De Long said. “The last group of college students I had gave me what they had in their pockets, which was lint and gum.” For Calcamuggio, tips work slightly differently but he said he gets tipped mostly in cash when he does. “If a customer pays with a credit card over the phone we ask them if they would like to leave a tip for their delivery driver, and if they do leave a tip then that money goes to the person who delivers the cookies. If a customer pays in cash then whatever they give the driver to keep after we hand them their change is also our tip,” he said. Tips and wages affect workers’ paychecks differently, which could fair either greatly or negatively when a student is paying their way through school. “When we are on the shift as a driver we get $4.50 per hour, and our paycheck includes the $4.50 an hour for each hour we work as a driver. I use some of this money to pay for school, so tips are very appreciated,” Calcamuggio said. De Long said weather and the rate of busyness the night has affects her paycheck. “I’m paying my way through school and other things, so tips and wages are a hit or miss,” she said. “If you have a night that the weather is bad, like we have recently.. Then there might be slower business. If you don’t make at least minimum wage with your waitress salary tips per hour, then you make $8.10 an hour (Waitress salary is 4.05).”

REFLECTING ON HISTORY D
iane Judith Nash was a leader and strategist of the student wing of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. Historian David Halberstam described her as “…bright, focused, utterly fearless, with an unerring instinct for the correct tactical move at each increment of the crisis; as a leader, her instincts had been flawless, and she was the kind of person who pushed those around her to be at their best, or be gone from the movement.”
Nash’s campaigns were among the most successful of the era. Her efforts included the first successful civil rights campaign to integrate lunch counters (Nashville); the Freedom Riders, who de-segregated interstate travel; cofounding the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); and co-initiating the Alabama Voting “Diane Nash, leader of Rights Project and working on the Nashville’s civil rights Selma Voting Rights Movement, which resulted in African Americans movement of the 1960s, getting the right to register to vote remains committed and gain political power throughout to doing the next right the South.
thing.”
The Freedom Rides was an action that became a powerful and compelling movement. When Nash and her fellow students discovered that the Freedom Riders had decided to cut their trip short at the Birmingham stop, the Nashville students, primarily Nash, promptly decided that they would finish the trip. The students and Nash were committed, ready, and willing. “It was clear to me that if we allowed the Freedom Ride to stop at that point, just after so much violence had been inflicted, the message would have been sent that all you have to do to stop a nonviolent campaign is inflict massive violence,” says Nash.

Everything she says makes sense.” Hickey’s favorite lesson was about order. “I love the fact that she kept describing her order to get to her dream job was out of order,” Hickey said. “The order of how you do things doesn’t matter how you get to your goal, just be the best you can be.” Traditions are a very special thing in the Falcon Marching Band. “At the Alabama bowl game back in December, after the game, she gave us band notes as usual,” Maffit said. “But when she said attention, we raised our instruments and played Chorale, a song that she and her grad students wrote that’s very special to her. We parted and there was a limo and her husband waiting and we all went to dinner. I was bawling.” Maffit said.
