Student Recreation Center ribbon cutting ceremony Friday
After a renovation project, the University will fully unveil the new Student Recreation Center. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 27. While the majority of the building reopened last summer, parts of the facility remained under construction. The ceremony represents the reopening of the entire building. Some of the major renovations to the building were: complete refacing of the entrance, purchase of new weight and cardio equipment totaling $650,000, MultiActivity Court on activity court four and new central staircase leading directly to the balcony, main level and locker rooms on lower level I. Tours of the finished facility will be begin at noon and last until 4 p.m.
WORDS WITH
LIFE
Students gathered in the Little Red Schoolhouse Monday night, reading poetry from notebooks, laptops and smartphones among 19th century desks and pictures. The students were members of Spoken Performance for Empowerment, Action and Knowledge [SPEAK], a student group for writing and reading poetry. The group was founded two years ago and officially recognized by the University a year ago. Tim Murnen, a professor in the School of Teaching and Learning, aided students Breshea Anglen and Kat Virostko in starting the group. Senior Catherine Lautar was also one of the founding members of SPEAK. She died in a car crash in January. Murnen said Lautar played a big role in getting SPEAK started. “Last year, it wasn’t a roomful of peo-
ple, it was me, [Virostko] and [Lautar],” Murnen said. “[Lautar] was instrumental in pulling things together.” Virostko, a senior and secretary for SPEAK, said the organization originated from a desire for a place to explore social issues and students’ personal takes on those issues through spoken word poetry. “There wasn’t a space for that here, so we made our own space for it,” she said. Anglen, president of SPEAK, agreed that a main reason for starting SPEAK was the need for a spoken word poetry group. She said that poetry can have an impact in people’s lives. “It helps people get through the tough things in their life. It provides people with a voice that they wouldn’t have if they weren’t doing poetry,” Anglen said. “I wanted to make that space for people.” Murnen said that the inspiration for SPEAK came from his and Anglen’s dis-

Three UNC student deaths start University discussion
PLAYING IN THE DARK
Incident sparks conversation on how University would react By Jessica Speweike Reporter
The deaths of three Muslim students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had people wondering whether the shooting was over a parking spot or motivated by something more. At the University, the incident was discussed in regards to what would happen if something like that ever occurred on this campus. Susana Pena, the Director of the School of Cultural and Critical Studies said she hoped she would never have to learn the answer.
“I would want the institution to think about issues like this before they happen because obviously we all want, as faculty, students and staff, is to prevent an incident like that from happening,” Pena said. Pena said an important part of her job is addressing issues of inequality on and off campus and to open up a dialogue about such issues with all members of the community. Ray Plaza, a co-chair for Not in Our Town [NIOT], said the goal of his organization is to also open up the lines of communication so students and staff

Plaza was also at Virginia Tech in 2007 when the campus shooting occurred. He felt that when it came to potential policies, it was important “to understand the how and the why.” C apt a i n M ichael Campbell of the University Police Department said the university police department is thoroughly trained to handle a wide variety of potential situations on campus “Obviously we always want to learn from any incident, regardless of what that is, but we’re always looking for ways to increase the safety of campus,” Campbell said. With 25 sworn officers available 24/7, Campbell said the UPD are not only responsible for on-campus safety, but are often called to assist the Bowling Green Police Department as well. Campbell said it is often difficult to predict events such as a shooting, but it is important to be aware and report suspicious activity. Pena agreed it is hard to say that any specific event, such as the shooting at UNC, could have been prevented. As the director of a

“Obviously we always want to learn from any incident, regardless of what taht is, but we’re always looking for ways to increase the safety of campus.” Matt Campbell | Captain of University Police school that focuses on cultural issues, Pena thought the deaths of the three Muslim students was particularly troubling and was motivated by more than just a dispute over a parking spot. “It’s our responsibility as an institution of higher education to try to actively promote an inclusive environment to help prevent incidents like that,” Pena said. Plaza and Pena both stressed the importance of open discussion on campus and in the community and how it is essential to help prevent events like those at UNC. Plaza said he believed if a shooting like the one that occurred at UNC ever happened at the University, the community would rally around the university and support those who were affected by a tragedy of that magnitude. “I think that a lot of universities around the country will learn from that experience,” Plaza said. “I think, regardless, no one is really ever prepared, you’re as prepared as you can be.”
JINX COLEMAN Broussard, author of African American Foreign Correspondents: A History, speaks to students from the University.
Author speaks on book, struggles of African American foreign correspondents By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
Discr iminat ion a nd unequal representation of African-American foreign correspondents were topics that left Bowling Green State University students thinking twice. These topics were just a few things that Jinx Colema n Broussa rd, author of African American Foreign Correspondents: A History, brought up Wednesday to a group of University students. Coleman Broussard discussed her findings from writing her book, learning about reporters such as Ida B. Wells, who had a bounty put on her head by a Memphis newspaper, and Ralph Waldo Tyler, who became a war correspondent during World War I. “What I argue in my book is that repressive conditions were the genesis for African-American

foreign correspondents,” she said. “When Frederick Douglass left he was a runaway slave.” She stressed the importance these topics have in American history many years ago as well as today. In fact, Coleman Broussard told the audience she did not know about most AfricanAmerican correspondents before starting her research. “When you become a foreign correspondent, you have arrived, so to speak,” she said. “So the fact that I had an undergraduate degree in journalism, a master’s degree in journalism and a PhD in mass communication and did not know of these people was understandable.” This was because most correspondents at the time were portrayed as “dashing” white males or “tough” white women, she said.

wasn’t the only one who did not know of the correspondents. “I knew some of the newspapers [she talked about], but not some of the names,” said Yort Skinner, a Telecommunications Department associate professor. Skinner once worked as a stringer reporter in Egypt for The Associated Press and other media groups. “Of course I knew Dubious and some of the more visible ones, but a number of the names she mentioned I had never heard of,” Skinner said. This reason sparked his interest in her presentation. “I thought it was very enlightening because it was from an entirely different perspective about foreign correspondents,” he said. “If you look in media now, you will find very few, so it’s nice to see the historical evolution and strategies used for
reporting.” One question Coleman Broussard wanted the audience to think about was: “Were black correspondents able to change the status quo?” Black foreign correspondents were not successful in changing the status quo, “But they did succeed in creating an alternative reality of darker people abroad, they took readers to places they never would have gone and they told the truth they told the other side of the story, they told our story,” she said. Public relations major Alexia Chesbrough came into the speech without any knowledge of AfricanAmerican correspondents. “I didn’t know much about the black press and definitely the black correspondents. She definitely gave a lot information and I liked how she did it in a timeline form, so it was easy to follow,” Chesbrough said.

He said that after being a part of the organization, “they become empowered to continue to speak.” Senior Christina Green shared a poem for the first time at Monday’s meeting, though she had attended several previous meetings. She said she was introduced to SPEAK through a mutual friend with Anglen, but stayed for the community. “It’s really nice to be around people who appre-
ciate what you’re doing,” she said. Both Virostko and Anglen emphasized that SPEAK was a place students could feel safe. “It’s a place to speak out, it’s a place to talk about things that our bothering me, things that are important to me; it’s a safe place,” Virostko said. “I’ve had a lot of people come up to be and tell me that SPEAK helped them be themselves,” Anglen said. “We have a lot of people here who wouldn’t be able to be themselves anywhere else.”

When Fr. Mark Davis was assigned as pastor to St. Aloysius parish in 2007, one of the first things a parishioner said to him was, “We need to bring back the angels.” Years of listening to parishioners’ hopes and concerns, and gathering information followed. At last, in January 2014, conservators and in-painters from Evergreene Architectural Arts began stripping away five layers of paint and recreating what they found underneath. The scaffolding was removed in May to reveal the finished product.

Media Review: “Jupiter Ascending” Movie is over-the-top, ridiculous fun
“Parks” Says Farewell Finale brings few surprises, gives characters happy endings By Kathryne Rubright City Editor
PHOTO PROVIDED
SEAN BEAN as bee-human hybrid Stinger.
The series finale of “Parks and Recreation” was pretty much exactly what I expected, and nothing more. Of course Leslie becomes governor of Indiana, and of course she wrote that she wanted to be way back in her kindergarten dream journal. Of course Ron quits his business when it does too well and ends up as a park ranger in Pawnee. Of course April becomes a mom, but on her own terms, which involve taking the time to put on Halloween makeup after going into labor. Everyone got their happy endings. And that’s great, but also kind of boring. Don’t get me wrong; it’s not like I wanted something terrible to happen to someone just to add some interest. But I wanted more than what I probably would have imagined anyway if I’d been told there wasn’t going to be a finale. On the other hand, some of the episode’s best jokes were the ones that were entirely unsurprising. Of course Garry’s name gets spelled wrong on his tombstone. Of course his wife Gayle doesn’t appear to age. Overall, though, it wasn’t an episode that had me laughing so hard that my inability to breathe became a concern, which has happened while watching Parks and Rec in the past. The 21-stamp salute at Garry’s funeral was hilarious, though, as was the reference to Middle Korea. [If anyone thinks they know how that could possibly happen, let me know.]
By Annie Furia Pulse Editor
Disjointed and over-the-top, “Jupiter Ascending” was nevertheless some of the most fun I’ve ever had sitting through a bad movie. To begin with, the main character descriptions sound like the Wachowski siblings, who wrote and directed the movie, pieced them together out of scraps of paper pulled from a hat. Jupiter Jones [Mila Kunis] is an illegal Russian immigrant housecleaner and essentially reincarnated space royalty. When an attempt is made on her life because of this, she is saved by a genetically engineered wolf-human ex-soldier named Caine Wise [Channing Tatum]. Yes, it’s ridiculous, but it sets the tone that the Wachowskis know exactly how ridiculous their movie is and are prepared to have fun with it. Other examples are the fact that Caine gets around using the equivalent of anti-gravity roller skates. And the fact that they created a character who is parthuman-part-bee and named him Stinger [played by Sean Bean]. The dialogue is, honestly, not great. It’s clunky in many places, and there are large amounts of

Fashion week brings spring trends Peplum, “military chic,” trench coats popular among designers’ collections Meg Kraft Reporter
As Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2015 comes to a close, refreshing spring collections offer a glimpse of hope for warmer weather. Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu and Ralph Lauren utilitarian collections take the public back to basics. Marc Jacobs’ 2015 Ready-to-Wear collection featured neutral colors, constructed suits and embellished rompers. Style.com referred to the spring trend as “military chic.” Peplum ensembles, featuring cinched waists and cap-tunic sleeves, were the dominant shape for the top designer collections. Army green, white and gunmetal colors adorned Jason Wu’s Ready-to-Wear collection, accessorizing models with envelope clutches. Wu’s suede suits, graffiti print pencil skirts and fitted peplum overcoats were featured in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Ralph Lauren practiced color blocking in the 2015 Ready-to-Wear line, featuring vibrant layers on an interesting staple piece – the cargo pant. Safari jackets, trench coats, and metallic ruched skirts decorated the runway, an obvious trend among the fashion elite. Current fashion week footwear trends include

REVIEW From Page 4 exposition. However, there were some genuinely funny and well-written lines. A lot of humor was situational as Jupiter attempted to navigate her new reality. Sometimes the humor was intentional, sometimes the movie got so ridiculous I just had to laugh. It’s a credit to Kunis’ acting that Jupiter is endearing rather than annoying. For the most part, Jupiter stumbles from one bad situation to another, with Caine always there to rescue her. It’s not until the end that Jupiter finally gets some agency to actively influence the plot, but it just leads to an ending that feels anticlimactic. The antagonists in “Jupiter Ascending� are the Abrasax siblings, ancient space royalty who got rich selling youth serum har-

vested from humans. The siblings try to manipulate Jupiter or get rid of her completely, since Jupiter has literally inherited the Earth as the genetic copy of the Abrasax’s deceased mother. That’s about all the plot you need to know, since it’s really just there to be the backdrop for the characters. One of the best characters is Balem Abrasax [Eddie Redmayne], mostly because Redmayne knows how ridiculous this movie is and gives a performance to match. Balem struts around in capes speaking in a dramatic hushed whisper, except for seemingly random moments of screaming. He’s just as over-the-top as the rest of the movie and it’s fun to watch. That’s the essential nature of “Jupiter Ascending�: it’s kind of terrible, but it’s so much fun to watch.

But the episode didn’t have the great quotable lines that previous episodes have. [Think “Poncho!â€? and “Men have had a very rough go of it for‌ just recently,â€? both from “Pie-Mary.â€?] I think the problem is that I prefer an episode like that one, one that’s chronological and doesn’t have to jump around to show everyone’s future and has room for running jokes. The finale was a departure from that type of episode, and while it was an understandable departure, it was still a change from what we’ve come to expect over
seven seasons. But the actual content wasn’t a departure from expectations. Parks and Rec ended on a feel-good note, with a reunion of our favorite gang after they’ve gone their separate, successful ways. And maybe I shouldn’t complain about that, given how unprepared I am to leave my own “workplace proximity acquaintances� in May. The finale did leave viewers with one question: Is the U.S. led by President K nope or President Wyatt in 2048 when Garry dies? [Because that’s definitely a Secret Service agent whispering to them and conveniently not looking at either of them in particular.]

SPORTS Falcons unable to overcome 19 turnovers Perimeter shooting keeps BG women close to Miami By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
In a game where each team seemed to mirror one another, giving the ball away was the glaring difference. The Bowling Green women’s basketball team turned the ball over 13 times in the first half. Miami turned those into 13 points the other way. The Falcons [9-17, 2-13] cleaned the mistakes up in the second half with just six turnovers resulting in two points for the Redhawks [6-20, 3-12], but the deficit proved too much to overcome en route to a 58-51 loss. “The story of this game is turnovers, points off turnovers,” said head coach Jennifer Roos. “We had 13 [turnovers] at half and cleaned it up in the second half and had only six. But, 19 turnovers against their pressure we can’t afford to do. Points off turnovers were just the difference in the game.” With the limited roster that the Falcons have been dealt, their margin of error has almost entirely dissipated. “Our margin of error is very slim and we had a stretch where we didn’t score and that’s going to be tough to overcome, especially on the road,” Roos said. The first stretch came after a Rachel Myers layup and foul. Myers knocked down the free throw to cut the early deficit to 10-8. Myers finished with a teamhigh 13 points while shooting 5-for-8 from the field. However, BG went the next 6:46 without scoring. This allowed Miami to stretch its lead to 23-8 and take command of the game. Outside of a few other two-tothree minute scoring droughts, the Falcons were able to keep scoring. But, with limited periodic scoring, the Falcons were never able to get in an offensive rhythm against the zone. “We could have attacked their

BG hockey team looks to correct mistakes, snap 3-game losing streak By Corey Krupa Reporter
Coming off a weekend where the team lost both games at home, the BG hockey team will travel almost 4,000 miles to face the University of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves this weekend. This will be the Falcons final road trip of the regular season, as the team has four games left before the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs. BG needs one more win to clinch home ice and a three seed for the WCHA tournament. However, the Falcons currently have a three-game losing streak despite leading or being tied in all three of those games. “We are two points away from a home ice, third-place finish. We need to play better. Our lead-

Through the first day of the MidAmerican Conference swim and dive championships, Bowling Green was tied with Ohio for fourth place. Akron, Buffalo and Eastern Michigan lead the way in a three-way, first place tie. The Falcons’ 800 freestyle relay team of Victoria Griffin, Tara Capouch, Franziska Wohlert and Hannah Newman swam a time of 7:16.79, beating the school record by nearly four seconds, placing them third overall at the championships. BG’s 200 medley relay team of Estela Davis, Kristin Filby, Maria Galic and Kayla Effinger finished fourth overall with a time of 1:40.61, nearly breaking a second school record on the day. On day two, the Falcons broke two school records, but sit in fifth place overall with a team score of 168, 74 points behind leading Akron. Tara Capouch qualified for the championship final of the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:53.26. Alex Poitinger qualified for the consolation finals with a career-best 4:55.17. Jordan Bullock and Franziska Wohlert qualified for the A finals in the 200 individual medley, while Stephanie Boyle and Kristin Filby qualified for the B finals. Wohlert broke the school record with a time of 2:01.83. The MAC championships continue with competitions on each of the two days through Feb. 28 in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
Falcons seek redemption after 4-point loss to CMU By Terrance Davis Reporter
The Bowling Green State University gymnastics team will seek redemption this weekend following its 196.125–192.700 road loss to Central Michigan last Sunday. “I was very disappointed with our performance last weekend,” said head coach Kerri Turner. “We ended up having a team meeting and just talked about the fact that they just didn’t seem all together. We had to discuss it and now we are trying to put that behind us and rebound against Western Michigan.” The Falcons had an encouraging start to their meet against Central Michigan with a 48.675 on bars; however, things quickly went south. A few uncharacteristic mistakes cost the young Bowling Green team significant points on vault as its confidence and focus began to unravel. “We worked really hard on bars last week and we had a pretty good start on bars,” Turner said. “But, I think in their minds they were expecting to hit every routine and since we had a few mistakes on bars they kind of psyched themselves out. Then they went vault and the first few routines had some struggles and you could just see the wind go out of the sails after that.”
BG finished with a 48.125 on vault, a 48.725 on floor and a 47.175 on beam. Turner called her team’s performance on beam “inexcusable.” “I was a shocked by their performance on beam. We had a lot of falls and slips and we looked sloppy and that’s just really uncharacteristic,” Turner said. “I think they were just really upset that we were losing the meet and they didn’t focus on the right things, which is the skills and the routines.” Despite the overall team struggles, sophomore Laura Feely turned in a strong day for the Falcons. Feely tied for second on vault with a 9.850, scored a season-high 9.700 on beam to finish fourth and registered a 9.775 on floor, tied for sixth. Individual performances do not carry the same meaning when the team does not perform well, however. “I had a pretty good day but it doesn’t mean much to me at this point,” Feely said. “At the end of the day, it’s all about the team. We didn’t perform to our standards as a team so there’s no reason for me to smile and be happy for myself.” Freshman Laura Mitchell, who earned a 9.850 on beam to place second on the apparatus, was also critical of her team’s performance.

BG baseball gets back to work after 2-week layoff By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
After two weeks without a game, including four cancelled games, the Bowling Green baseball team steps back on dirt this weekend. Opening the season with a win, the Falcons followed it up with two losses to finish their opening series. “Opening series, first time in three months, I was very pleased with the effort and the way that we played,” said head coach Danny Schmitz. “Obviously you’d like to win series but to win the first game 7-6, I thought we had a great approach with the bats.” “Our bats were alive, a tremendous difference from last year. I felt like our hitting started out on a role,” said pitcher Andrew Lacinak. Now, BG looks to keep its bats rolling against Eastern Kentucky in a 3-game series. However,
the weather forced another change as the series will take place in Emerson, Georgia at the LakePoint facility instead of EKU’s home facility. The Colonels hold an advantage over the Falcons in that they’ve been able to stay on the field consistently in the early part of the season. In the past week EKU has played five games while BG hasn’t taken the field. “It’s like opening weekend all over again,” Schmitz said. “It’s always difficult being a northern team because we don’t have the luxury of getting outside, but the more reps we can get outside, that’s when the development stage starts taking place.” EKU [3-4] finished its seventh game of the season on Wednesday, while notching all of its three wins at the LakePoint facility a week ago.

Softball weekend tournament gets cancelled

We have a young team, but we were pretty scrappy,” said senior second baseman Brandon Howard. “Having energy [and] playing hard is going to be very key for us. All of those first-game jitters are out of the way. We have a lot of freshmen, so for them to get out there and play well the first weekend was good.” However, the Falcons aren’t content with just maintaining the high energy they displayed in the first series. Instead, they have continuously simulated real-game scenarios with caged games, Lacinak said. “That’s the best thing for our hitters to do, just to see live pitching and for our pitchers to see live hitting,” he said. BG is hoping that this simulation of real-game scenarios will translate

No makeup date has been announced for the tournament. The Falcons, now 4-4 overall for the season, will next take the field on March 6 in the USF-Under Armour Invitational in Clearwater, Florida. BG will look to end its 3-game losing streak by playing five games, one each against Penn, Seton Hall, Villanova, Maine and SIU-Edwardsville.

into actual live action. However, despite the encouraging signs from the first three games, the team understands that the work they’ve begun to put in is just the beginning. “’Do we have to get better?’ No doubt about,” Schmitz said. “We have a lot to work on. We need improvement in all phases.” The road to improvement begins Friday, Feb. 27 at 11 a.m. in a doubleheader against EKU. “I know the guys are excited about getting back out on the field again, and I certainly am,” Schmitz said. We just need to stay within in ourselves and work on situational baseball, he said. “I know it’s hard after being off last weekend, but carrying the energy, keeping our bats alive from the first weekend and keeping up the momentum will be key,” Lacinak said.
GYMNASTICS From Page 6 “We came in way too relaxed,” Mitchell said. “We had been doing so well the last three weeks and we came in a bit overconfident. I don’t think it was the opponent at all, we just kind of got in our own way.” The Falcons know they will need to bring a significantly better effort if they plan to challenge a red-hot Western Michigan squad. The Broncos hold a record of 4-2 (2-2 MAC) and scored a program-high 196.175 in a win over Kent State last Friday. “Western Michigan is an improving team and we will certainly need to be focused on doing our best routines,” Turner said. “They know they are very close to going to NCAA Regionals. Right now, 41st and they need to be in the top 36 so its not like their hunger died at all. They are ready to get back out there, improve that Regional Qualifying Score and prove that last weekend was a fluke.”
WOMEN’S From Page 6 zone a lot better than we did tonight,” Roos said. While BG was unable to get many looks near the basket against the Redhawks’ defense, it was able to get consistent looks behind the arc. Six players knocked down at least one 3, while four of those had at least two. This led to 10-for-23 shooting as a team behind the arc. “We shot the ball well at the arc which we needed to do but we just had way too many turnovers,” Roos said. Mistakes aside, however, the Falcons were able to get the game within just two points midway through the second half, and as close as five with 6:02 remaining, but they were unable to find a way to jump ahead. “It’s just disappointing that we couldn’t finish when we had opportunities,” Roos said. BG stays on the road for the second of back-to-back away games, against Ohio on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m.

Businesses raise minimum wage for own benefit, not workers Perseverance learned through challenges, hardship Last week, Wal-Mart announced it was increasing its minimum hourly pay for its employees to $9 this year and to at least $10 beginning in 2016. Wal-Mart is not alone. Costco, Hobby Lobby and IKEA all pay their workers at a rate greater than the Federal minimum wage. Starbucks increased their pay rates last month. The Gap will begin raising wages to $10 per hour and Aetna will begin paying workers a minimum of $16 per hour. Wal-Mart’s move was not in reaction to any government decree or the demands of some “occupy” movement. Nor was it necessarily motivated by the needs or demands of its workers. As Adam Smith, in his “Wealth of Nations,” wrote, “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard for their own interest.” It’s true that the hours worked by Wal-Mart employees may not change. Due to pressures from the Affordable Care Act, Wal-Mart, as well as many other companies, has been scheduling individual work weeks at or below 30 hours, so as to save on the health care premiums that are incurred as a consequence of employing “full time” workers.
PHIL SCHURRER COLUMNIST
The underlying fact behind the wage increase is that the labor market is beginning to tighten and Wal-Mart, as is true of other firms, is interested in retaining and attracting the best workers. Call it “enlightened self-interest.” It’s a good sign that the market economy is alive and well [or at least awakening from a long slumber] and for that we should be grateful. With the blizzard of Executive Orders emanating from the White House, an onlooker might be tempted to think that the United States has traded the representative republican ideal of governance for “rule by decree,” with a corresponding negative effect on the economy. Wal-Mart’s pay increase is not without precedent. Just over 100 years ago, Henry Ford announced a pay increase of $5 per day for any employee and a decrease in the workday from nine to eight hours [employees had to meet other requirements which would be deemed intrusive today]. Ford called his plan a form of “profit sharing.” He was trying to build a stable

workforce and reduce turnover. It had the fortuitous yet unforeseen consequence of turning many of his workers into customers. The genius of the market system is twofold: it enables participants to make [hopefully] informed choices and facilitates the exercise of the most noble of human characteristics free will. The market system is also the best method yet devised for allocating scarce resources. This is not to say the market system is perfect. Far from it. At its heart, it makes use of greed, which is classified as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Two ways of moderating greed are competition and government regulation. How much regulation is needed has, is and will be the grist for lively discussions and debates. So, it appears that some retail workers will be getting a raise. Some will see this as a hopeful sign that the chasm of inequality may be narrowing. Some will question what the workers did to deserve the raise. But, as is true of many economic events, the longterm consequences remain uncertain.

“Don’t treat me like a puppet on a string, ‘cause I know I have to do my thing” - Bob Marley. What is perseverance? I am not going to bore you with a definition, because there is so much more to know and understand about it. Life is going to throw so much at you. It is going to take every ounce of courage not to quit and I am sure most people would agree. Persevering is a process that takes experience in order to learn it. You cannot persevere if you are not challenged and do not go through struggles, because that is the experience you need in order to persevere. Persevering is allowing life to teach you lessons day in and day out. There are two processes that are vital to understanding perseverance: filtering and redefining. We long to express ourselves and be who we want to be, but people and their ideas are going to throw up roadblocks and you have to find your way around them. The harsh reality is that, at times, everyone will seem to be against you because your idea or way of thinking is crazy to them and people feel it is their business to tell you what is and is not OK about who you are. In other words, they are

pulling your strings. The filter process begins with listening to those who think they know what is best. People will say all kinds of things: good, bad, ugly, hurtful and plain stupid things because they are haters. The hardest part is separating their ideas in a way that keeps you moving forward. People will say a multitude of things, but if you can still move forward, then you can tune out the hate and really accomplish something amazing. If you react to haters by hating back, you become a hater and you forget who you are and how creative you can be. We have to adjust our perspectives when it comes to understanding what we hear people saying about us. If you only hear, “You cannot do it,” then change your perspective and hear what they are saying in a different way. Suddenly, they are challenging you and you are going to prove them wrong. If we give meaning to what haters say about our uniqueness, then we change for others and not ourselves. People always tell me, for instance, “You
need to grow up and stop watching cartoons.” The reality is that they are not me and do not understand me, so I will not understand what they mean. It is now a standstill, as they do not understand me nor I them. Therefore, I do not have to pay attention and I can do my thing. You are the only one who knows what your dreams and your fears are and that is what makes you different from everybody else. We all have different views on ideas, but that does not make any particular idea dominant to the others. Rather, they are simply your way of knowing how to do your thing. Perseverance is taking what life throws at you and making it work for you. This makes you a boss, but to get to be the boss you have to start at the bottom. You have to experience pain, love and passion to learn that we have little control over anything other than our idea of success. When we build up strength, we can change our perspectives on others’ views and redefine them as challenges that drive us to succeed. When you embrace who you are, you are doing your thing, which is persevering.

2014 was the year of the selfie. The popular phenomenon, explained by the Oxford Dictionary as a documented photo of oneself shared via social media, has undoubtedly gone viral. “Sel f ie” was Ox ford Dictionary’s word of the year, as well as one of Twitter’s top trends of 2014, according to CNN. Selfies have inspired iPhone apps [such as Snapchat], books like Kim Kardashian’s upcoming release, Selfish, and even popular club tracks; The Chainsmoker’s successful single, “#SELFIE,” is one of Spotify’s most shared songs. Department of Popular Culture lecturer Matt Donahue said the advance in technology is the reason the act of photographing oneself has become so popular. “It really is new technology that allowed for this to happen,” Donahue said. “Back in the day, when point and shoot cameras [were] used to take pictures, people used to take selfies … It just wasn’t as convenient as today. Now with advent of smart phones, people can take these pictures all the time.”
An information graphic on selfies, by Infographics.com, says that over one million selfies are taken each day. The research says that 50 percent of men and 52 percent of women have taken a selfie, and Facebook is the most popular platform for posting them. W hy has photographing oneself and sharing the image become so popular? Journalism professor Itay Gabay said the appeal in posting selfies is a sense of power. “In a world characterized by overf low of information, the power to attract viewers amid the sea of distractions is power indeed. Good selfies are likely to receive a lot of attention,” he said. Gabay credits the need for external affirmation and control as other appealing aspects. “You have no control on what others say about you and you have no control [of] the way others take pictures of you,” Gabay said. “You gain control when you take a selfie. You might take a lot of selfies, but you will only post the one you like.” Gabay said that posting selfies has also triggered rising levels of narcissism. “One of the main problems of digital narcissism is that it puts enormous pressure on people
to achieve unfeasible goals,” he said. Gabay said selfies and social media are positive for networking, but it is equally important to take your eyes off the screen and make real human connections. Popular culture professor Jeff Brown said selfies are prevalent because they appeal to everyone’s “basic vanity.” “We can all be like instant celebrities acting like our own paparazzi,” Brown said, “[We] post pictures of ourselves, but only the ones that look good, doing things we want other people to think are cool.” Brown said that while selfies are trending, documenting too much of anything could ultimately ruin memories. “I think in moderation [documenting] can add to our lives. In excessive ways, it reduces the specialness of the moment,” he said. Though the selfie phenomenon has stimulated various areas of pop-culture, Brown said it might be lessening the current generation’s level of communication. “I do worry about the ‘selfie’ generation being able to develop personal social-interaction skills when there is always a

Changing Campus New inclusivity campaign takes on social media at the University By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
Social media movements like #BlackLivesMatter have become popular on Twitter and other social media sites. They allow people to connect and have conversations with people they wouldn’t normally be able to. The University has now jumped on board with a new movement called BG4Unity. This movement was started in communication department assistant professor Lisa Hanasono’s persuasion class. The class has a little over 30 students, with most of them being communication majors. “Many people know that there is a lot of hate out there especially on social media,” Hanasono said. “People are posting really prejudice, hateful things on Twitter and on Facebook and a lot of times people don’t think about it, or they don’t realize it until the damage has taken place.” The popularity of social media and the fact that all of her students had Twitter or Facebook made this project possible. “For me part of it was recognizing that it is a project that is a little bit unique,” she said. “I think

College students live in the age of the hashtag. Checking Facebook at the touch of a finger can zone a boring lecture out in an instant. Can’t find the answer in the textbook? No problem, just Google it. While the common belief of social media is it is a distraction and enabler in schoolwork, professors at the University are learning how to use social media to their advantage. Graduate student Jasmine Khosravi, who did her dissertation on generational differences, said students are only adapting to their environment. “Advances in technology have affected the average person’s level of attention,” Khosravi said.
“Compared to previous generations, we have so many more options, so many more stimuli around so we can choose what we want to attend.” She said she does not see a problem with students “just Googling” answers. “How do you find an answer without Googling it?” she said. “I’m from the millennial generation and I remember going to the library and learning the Dewey Decimal System and looking up the information in encyclopedias and now we have the convenience of looking it up on our phones.” Because the environment students live in relies on technology, students have had to adapt accordingly, Khosravi said. “To me, they are just
using the resources available to them and in such a fast-paced world where you have to produce results quickly, it just makes sense that you would use the Internet,” she said. Despite popular belief, Khosravi said finding answers online takes a level of skill. “With so much information on the Internet, you don’t know what’s true and not true,” she said. “You have to develop some kind of skill to skip through the noise and find what you’re looking for.” In addition to adapting to the technology itself, Khosravi said students have also adapted to the hedonistic lifestyle of today’s culture. When students are in a class, they are going to listen to what brings
them pleasure, she said. They have the option to look at their phone and there are several opportunities for distractions. “We take advantage of [social media] because we like to feel good,” she said. Food and nutrition instructor Carrie Hamady said she started using Twitter for her classes and has not seen it as a distraction, but as an aide. In Fall 2013 Hamady said she did a Twitter chat in place of class time. The class tweeted during the class time using a hashtag to show they did the readings. Hamady’s husband is the director of technology at Anthony Wayne Local Schools and she said that sparked the

Use of social media in the classroom is affecting students’ attention spans

By Lily Bartell InFocus Editor
Technology rapidly fires new platforms at consumers on an hourly, daily and weekly basis. Technology in the classroom is no exception. Whether it is an active learning classroom, using social media in and out of class, using devices in class, or having virtually proctored exams, technology surrounds students at the University constantly. “I think the advantages of active learning classrooms are just the different kind of atmosphere that it puts students in, and it’s more of an engaging way to learn,” senior communication major Allie Schaber said. “I love how there are multiple screens for different things to be up at one time. You could have questions on one screen, with a movie or clip on the other so that we can follow along perfectly.” Active learning classrooms work hard to
bring technology and a new way of teaching into the classroom with two large projector screens which allow to put different information on each screen and mobile television screen carts that can be used for presenting information or for students use to present topics or research information. Bringing technology into the classroom is a high priority for University professor and Executive Director for the Center for Faculty Excellence Paul Cesarini. He teaches both online and hybrid classes at the University and supports the integration of Canvas use, online student evaluations, virtual proctoring, and the use of online platforms for teaching purposes. He also wants to keep students involved and onschedule by giving them a specific schedule using the Canvas calendar and by giving students resources for success online.
“Canvas is the best in the world. I’ve given the students the means to keep track in class,” he said. “I refuse to blast PowerPoint slideshows at my students. I keep my students as actively engaged as possible.” Senior communication major Sammy Rupp sees the benefit to Canvas. “I do enjoy having all assignments, grades and quizzes/exams online because I think it makes it easier for both the teachers and students,” she said. At times students can forget to put something down in their planner and having everything online makes it easy for students to check to make sure they are up to date on everything for each of their classes.” R a m u n e Braziunaite, lecturer in the Department of Communication has taught a variety of communication courses at the university and suggests that every student take an online class
during their time in college. It gives students who may normally sit in the back of the classroom and not raise their hand the opportunity to participate a great deal because it is a requirement in most online classes to post on discussion boards. “Face-to-face there are a few that dominate discussions,” she said. “In the online environment you can still dominate but everyone has to speak.” When asked about how technology might be a distraction and how some students may not do the readings and struggle with the assignments, her thoughts were straight-forward. “If you don’t study, everything is hard,” she said. “If you use the technology the way it’s supposed to be used, you’ll be successful.” Dr. Braziunaite also made it clear that Canvas has its

students are best positioned to make a difference in social media because they are in many ways experts at it.” This has been something that Hanasono has thought about and she posed the question “How can we use social media more responsibly?” They do this by doing two things, being an advocate and offering messages of hope on social media. “The purpose is to encourage people to use social media more responsibly, to fight hate
“Social media is a great way to disseminate information quickly to many people for a variety of purposes. It has become especially a great marketing tool for your product through proper messaging. Yet, misinformation also can be spread by inappropriate messaging. The intent of most social media may be good, but there is a growing amount of poor behavior being demonstrated especially via twitter.” Favorite

After the Twitter chat, she said she conducted a survey for her students and got data for a poster session at the annual Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo in Georgia last fall. The data showed that students didn’t know how they could use Twitter professionally, but after using it in class they saw how they could use this in their professional lives, she said. The poster, which she created with Mary-Jon Ludy, won first prize for innovations in teaching in dietetics at the expo.

advantages and disadvantages, but that the accessibility of information and course work is essential to students’ academic achievements. “Technology is here and the purpose of higher education is to learn how to adapt to technology and the ways we communicate using the technology,” she said.
“In my opinion, I think that the biggest change in social media in the past five years is the number of adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s who have joined mediums such as Twitter and Instagram [Facebook has stayed pretty steady with those age groups]. It has been interesting to see older groups find value in those two mediums.” Favorite

and also offer a message of support to those who are experiencing discrimination,” she said. “It’s BG4UNity, the aim is for BG members and community members. In terms of the negativity you have to be prepared for that, that’s just what happens.” There have been many negative and racial incidents on social media in the last year, one of them being the vulgar and racial things posted on Yik Yak. Yik Yak allows students to post things anonymously. This movement wants to make their mark before the negative things happen, Hanasono said. “We want to operate before a crisis happens, because we know things are going to occur in our
community,” Hanasono said. “Part of it is getting the message out there, but if something did happen it doesn’t have to happen just through social media, but I think some things can be done.” Although this is a social media movement for now, Hanasono said that it can be used to complement other movements. “This is not a replacement, but because social media is where we get so much of our interaction that I feel like it will be one way to bring people together,” she said. To get involved in the movement and get more information you can follow the account @ BG4Unity on Twitter or like the page on Facebook.
Since winning at the expo, Hamady said she and Ludy have spoken at The CREATE conference, the Center for Faculty Excellence, given a webinar on-campus and in Columbus with a practice group of dieticians. Connie Molnar, Director for the Center for Faculty Excellence, said the webinar received a lot of positive feedback. “I think the webinar will create a lot of interest in the use of social media for both classroom use and for student professional development,” Molnar said. Now, Hamady said she uses Twitter on a regular basis in her classes, which mainly consist of junior and seniors. On the first day of class, she explains that she will follow them and they should follow her back.
While she said she still uses Canvas, she uses Twitter for quick bits of information, like what she would put on announcements. For example, she said she might tweet out an article and have a discussion on it the next day of class. “It’s a way for me to get better connected with my students,” she said. “So they know I’m not just teaching a class, but I’m also invested in their professional future.” A lot of people are afraid that students will post inappropriate things, Hamady said. However, she said she implements expectation management, which she has helped them remain professional. “When I present it to the students in a certain way and they see the relevance of it in a certain manner, they all come to appreciate it.”
Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Itay Gabay teaches public relations and social media classes and dives right into the use of technology in the classroom with the use of Twitter, Vine, and other social media sites that can only be used on cell phones and computers. “It’s a little harder now to teach social media in a regular classroom,” he said. This becomes true as technology continues to be integrated into the
classroom. Active learning classrooms and computer labs, like those in West Hall, contribute to the ability for professors and students to use social media and technology together in the classroom environment. “I know students want to be more engaged and they use their phones and other technology for social media in class,” Gabay said. As long as technology is used with purpose and with the intention to learn, it is a guiding tool for students at the University.
screen in between actual people,” he said. “So much of the world is lost when you are always taking pictures instead of actually experiencing the moment.” Brown said the selfie trend will continue, as it has become a large part of our culture and a way that people interact. Gabay’s tips for taking the perfect selfie include natural lighting, keeping your chin down, angling your body and allowing depth between you and the background. Brown’s tips for taking the perfect selfie include putting your phone down, contemplating whether your action is worth documenting and doing something else instead. Whether it’s taken at a 45-degree angle or in the reflection of a mirror, filtered, snapped, tweeted or posted to Instagram, the selfie is here to stay — “like” it or not.

DailyCrossword Crossword Fix Fix BG track and field team prepares The The Daily for MAC indoor championships Falcons look to continue improving, keep trending upward By Aaron Parker Reporter
The Bowling Green indoor track and field team will compete in the MAC Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend in Michigan. The meet is the fourth Falcon indoor championship under head coach Lou Snelling. The team has steadily improved in the meet the past three years with Snelling in charge. Three years ago the Falcons scored only one point in the meet and left with a last place finish. In 2013, the team placed eleventh with 12 points scored. Last year, the Falcons were able to more than triple their point total from the previous year with 38 points and an eighth place finish. Heading into Michigan on Friday, they hope to keep that trend going. “Just continuing to improve, that’s the big thing,” Snelling said. “Going into the meet there are about five teams that are fairly clumped together. That’s probably going to determine fifth through 10th place. It’s kind of on us in terms of can we step up and have a good meet and put up some more points than we did last year.” The team will have three competitors who broke four collective school records this year attempting to score points. Senior Brittany Sinclair currently holds the records for both the 300 and 400 with times of 40.67 seconds and 55.46 seconds, respectively. Sophomore Makenzie Wheat now holds the record for the shot put, a record that stood for 21 years, with a mark of 51-feet-4.5. Senior Brooke Pleger broke her own school record in the weight throw with a mark of 68-feet-2.5. “They feel pretty good about where
their seasons have gone so far,” Snelling said. “I’m definitely excited to see what those three can do this weekend, their confidence has to be high right now.” For Pleger, this meet also serves as a chance for her to qualify for the NCAA Indoor National Championships, something that no Falcon has done since 2001. Nobody at BGSU has ever done so in the weight throw. To qualify, Pleger must finish in the top 16. She goes into the meeting with a 14 seed. “She’s got a good chance. Things are coming together well for her from both a training and competition stand point. There’s a couple girls ahead of her nationally that will be at this meet so this is an opportunity,” Snelling said. One thing that could potentially play against the Falcons as a whole is the inexperience. The team is still young with underclassmen dominating the roster. There are four seniors and nine juniors on the team compared to 12 sophomores and 13 freshmen. Four of those freshmen will compete in this meet. Sydnee Matthew will participate in the pentathalon, Cortisha Short in the 200, Dorresha Green in the 60 and Kyla Paster triple jump and long jump. “This is something we’ve always had to deal with,” Snelling said. “These classes coming in are making more and more of an impact which is phenomenal. We try to cut that freshman learning curve down as much as possible. Where they’re at now versus September is a pretty big difference.” The preseason polls have the Falcons coming out of the championships placed tenth. “We think we’re better than that, but ultimately we have to prove that at the meet. That’s up to us.”

LEARN
— HARLEM RENAISSANCE —
REFLECTING ON HISTORY S
panning the 1920s to the mid-1930s, the Harlem Renaissance was a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that kindled a new black cultural identity. Its essence was summed up by critic and teacher Alain Locke in 1926 when he declared that through art, “Negro life is seizing its first chances for group expression and self determination.” Harlem became the center of a “spiritual coming of age” in which Locke’s “New Negro” transformed “social disillusionment to race pride.” Chiefly literary, the Renaissance included the visual arts but excluded jazz, despite its parallel emergence as a black art form.
The nucleus of the movement included Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Rudolf Fisher, Wallace Thurman, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Nella Larsen, Arna Bontemps, Countee Cullen, and Zora Neale Hurston. An older generation of writers and intellectuals–James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Alain Locke, and Charles S. Johnson–served as mentors.
“The Harlem Renaisance was a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that kindled a new black cultural identity.”
The publishing industry, fueled by whites’ fascination with the exotic world of Harlem, sought out and published black writers. With much of the literature focusing on a realistic portrayal of black life, conservative black critics feared that the depiction of ghetto realism would impede the cause of racial equality. The Harlem Renaissance influenced future generations of black writers, but it was largely ignored by the literary establishment after it waned in the 1930s. With the advent of the civil rights movement, it again acquired wider recognition.

BG enters the series at Alaska-Anchorage ranked 11th in the nation in the USCHO poll after being ranked in the top 10 for six consecutive weeks. The Falcons have an overall record of 18-9-5 and 14-7-3 in conference play. The Seawolves have an overall record of 7-19-4 and 4-18-2 in the WCHA this season and enter the weekend with an eight-game losing streak. Alaska-Anchorage has been outscored 38-11 during that span and have scored more than two goals once during their losing streak.
Also, they are ranked second in the nation in penalty minutes averaging 16.5 penalty minutes per game. The Falcons are 4-1-1 alltime against the Seawolves, and four of those matchups occurred last season. BG forward Brent Tate has two career goals against Anchorage. Last weekend, the Falcons led in the third period against Northern Michigan on both nights; however, BG ultimately lost both games. In Friday’s game, Brandon Hawkins scored the game’s first goal to give BG a 1-0 lead in the second period. Northern Michigan scored on the power play in the third period to tie the game 1-1. Pierre-Luc Mercier scored with less than 2:30 left in regulation to give BG a 2-1 lead. But the Wildcats
