Police panel speaks on campus relations By Hannah Benson Campus Editor

A panel of six University and Bowling Green Police Department (BGPD) police officers discussed how they plan to foster a better relationship with students and the University on Tuesday. The event, which was held in the Union Theatre at 6 p.m., was co-sponsored by the Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs Ethnic Study Center and the Office of Residence Life SMART Program. Krishna Han, Assistant Director for the Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs, said this event is to make people feel less paranoid or

anxious about police through speaking with them and mingling. “People can get paranoid about cops and it doesn’t take much,” Han said. “However, we can’t just say ‘don’t be paranoid.’” Mike Jones, Graduate SMART Program Coordinator, said the event was established to remove the fear of interacting with police officers by doing just that. “We created this event to show that people are people, even cops.” Jones said. “Students have stated they don’t feel comfortable with cops, but this provides a safe environment to interact and move forward.” Sophomore Esperanza Rios said she

appreciated the panel because it reminded her of her rights. “I thought it was very informative, especially for minorities,” Rios said. The officers on the panel included University Police Chief Monica Moll, University police officer Jennifer Loescher, University police officer Daniel Polin, BGPD Chief of Police Tony Hetrick, BGPD Operations Lieutenant Brad Biller and BGPD police officer Matt Robinson. The event began with the officers explaining their responsibilities and how they most commonly interact with students. Hetrick said two common interactions

between students and police officers is either downtown or traffic stops. After touching on the ways police officers and students interact, the officers explained student rights. Then, the officers answered questions from the audience and explained that the barriers between the community and police can be broken down when the community sees that police are people too. “We also get anxious when police officers are behind us,” Moll said.

Dance Marathon theme debut

By Hannah Finnerty Reporter

“Destination: Miracles” was announced as the official theme of the 2016 Dance Marathon on Tuesday night in the packed Union Ballroom full of eagerness. The theme was decided last Wednesday by the steering board, which included Austin Flores, director of Dance Marathon. The idea of a cross-country road trip is not only fun, but it connects the University with other schools involved in the nationwide Dance Marathon movement, Flores said. The theme name has importance too. “‘Destination: Miracles,’ means that miracles are all over and we are headed to every single one of them,” Flores said. Dance Marathon is one of the largest student-run philanthropy organizations in the state of Ohio. Students involved help raise money for Mercy Children’s Hospital in Toledo. The money raised every year goes to help fund the Children’s Center at the hospital,

which provides patients with things such as toys, games, computers and movies. Monies raised also go to Family Services, the Autism Center, and the Hippotherapy Barn. Sophomore Emily Legan, a morale captain for the 2016 year, feels that Dance Marathon is a way for students on campus to make a big impact on the lives of hundreds of families. “Dance Marathon is a way that I can change the world one step at a time, by working with these families and raising money for all these kids. You are not only changing the kid’s world, but also the parent’s world,” Legan said. In order to raise money, students can participate in many activities during Dance Marathon. There is ZiggyThon, where students stand for 32 hours straight. Some participate in a seven hour mini-marathon. Some students play games for 12 hours during the Extra Life event. Others registered for Bikes for Tikes. While the dancers are standing, the bikers endure

a 180-mile bike ride from Cincinnati back to Bowling Green. Da nce Ma rat hon i s a n i ncred ibly i mpor ta nt event for t he t housa nds of pat ients at Merc y Ch i ld ren’s Hospita l i n Toledo t hat a re seen ever y yea r, rega rd less of f i na ncia l sta nd i ng. Last year, Dance Marathon raised $341,749 for Children’s Hospital. While the goal for this year is not public yet, event coordinators are hoping to surpass last year’s numbers. The money is raised by hundreds of students who are involved with Dance Marathon, however, not everyone has to game, dance, or bike in order to help the cause. In addition to being registered to dance, Freshman Cameron Friedman is also a member of a mini-core committee. The Dance Marathon table at CampusFest got him involved, Friedman said. Anyone still interested in dancing or gaming can still register for free online with the code “BGDM21” at http://events.dancemarathon.com

Adventures of a College Student: Midterms Chanler Brown

Wicks for innovation, change Go into Grounds for Thought coffee shop any time of the day and you’ll see undergraduate students cramming for an exam, next to faculty members prepping for a lecture, next to community members talking about the weekend’s theater production. Kelly and Laura Wicks have created a space where everyone in this diverse community feels comfortable. Kelly Wicks understands that for Bowling Green to prosper, the University needs to thrive, students need to feel like this is a place where they can enjoy spending 4 years, and non-University residents need to feel respected. I am supporting Kelly Wicks for Bowling Green Mayor because he will take the

Mike Zickar Guest Columnist city to a new level. I have always viewed Bowling Green as a city that has been run unimaginatively. The current administration uses the same playbook that previous Mayors have used. Fifteen years ago, the city bragged about having some of the first wind turbines in the region. Now our 4 turbines are dwarfed by wind farms in all directions. Little has been done to build up alternative energy, to

promote a more walkable and bike-friendly community. The city’s website looks the same as it did 10 years ago. Cities are just like the business world, you need to innovate or you get passed by. Kelly has won nearly all small business and commerce awards that the city and region offers. In addition, he was the instrumental figure in creating the coolest, hippest event in Northwest Ohio, the Black Swamp Arts Festival. Kelly Wicks has a history of competence and innovation. I urge you to vote Kelly Wicks on November 3rd. Respond to Mike at thenews@bgnews.com

Phillips for bridging student and community To a great number of BGSU students, the name Dan Phillips probably rings a bell. Over the two years I’ve known him as my fraternity brother, I have come to see him as one of the most active members of the Bowling Green community, on campus as well as off. Involved heavily in Greek Life as a brother of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, a former Interfraternity Council President, numerous professional internships and in case you don’t know, he’s running for mayor of Bowling Green while simultaneously juggling the responsibilities of a student about to graduate; kind of a big deal. Dan, currently in his fifth year attending BGSU and majoring in construction management, began petitioning in the spring of 2015 to present a student candidate to the Bowling Green mayoral ballot with the purpose of giving a voice to the student body of BGSU, whose population makes up over half the total population of Bowling Green while classes are in session.

Jeff Pendleton Guest Columnist Dan, along with other students, believes the students of BGSU have “an obligation, not only to ourselves, but to the community as a whole, to represent ourselves.” By the end of the 2014-2015 academic year, Dan had collected enough signatures to put his name in the mayoral race, as well as recruit a campaign team entirely staffed by BGSU students including fellow SigEp brother Devin Aller, who is acting as Dan’s campaign manager. What I find unique about Dan’s campaign is its focus on students like us. For example, all campaign funding is generated from within the student body and the University. While other candidates receive campaign funds from businesses

and sources outside of Bowling Green, Dan seeks to avoid taking these kinds of endorsements and funds his campaign exclusively through donations. Some of his major campaign platforms include enacting projects to restore the older homes around campus in order to provide improved living conditions for students and residents alike, environmental sustainability initiatives, building community relations among BG students and residents, as well as bringing more business opportunities and industry to boost the economy. In Dan’s own words: “I am working to shift the view of mayor from the traditional chief community problem-solver to a more dynamic and useful purpose. I believe the mayor should be a catalyst able to connect the people and build consensus within the community as a whole. After all, that’s what this is all about, connecting the community and including everyone in the

conversation. One of the great things about running as an independent is that I have no party lines to work within. No one to please other than the people in our community as a whole.” Despite having goals and ambitions for the city, Dan is still a student at his very core, one of us. If elected mayor, we would have a major voice in the decision making of Bowling Green’s local government, driving policy on campus as well as off. As a student of BGSU, I care deeply about the University and this city as it has become as much of a home to me as my own birthplace. I think it’s safe to say if Dan Phillips is elected mayor, the improvements to the quality of life in Bowling Green for its residents and students have no limits. Snappy, you have my vote! Respond to Jeff at thenews@bgnews.com

Mayor Edwards’ passion is for the people Three years ago I would have never imagined being able to call Richard Edwards, the Mayor of the city of Bowling Green a friend. After three years of working with Mayor Edwards, I can honestly say that he and his wife Nadine have become two great friends of mine. Our relationship began when I came to Mayor Edwards with a question three years ago; with respect to the BGSU Hockey program and a group I had the privilege of leading for three years, The Bleacher Creatures, the official unofficial BGSU Hockey spirit group. Mayor Edwards and I had a long conversation about the relationship between BGSU and the Bowling Green community, and how The Bleacher Creatures could create

Ryan Sowers Guest Columnist an even better relationship with the city. Throughout the course of the conversation, I could directly see how passionate Mayor Edwards is about the city of Bowling Green and about the students of BGSU. I believe whole-heartedly that Mayor Edwards will continue to go above and beyond to ensure that all students have a home away from home here in Bowling Green, Ohio and that the people of Bowling Green have a community that they are proud of each and every day.

If you like to bug people about the tiniest details, then you’re probably a jerk. Or a natural copy editor. Come copy edit. thenews@bgnews.com

In addition to creating a home we can all be proud of, Mayor Edwards has truly left his impact on the community, even being recognized in 2008 as an Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce for co-chairing the Simpson Garden Park Campaign which raised over $700,000. In his every action and in his every word, Mayor Edwards has fought, and will continue to fight, tenaciously for the absolute best for the city of Bowling Green and the students of Bowling Green State University. Mayor Edwards’ work ethic, passion and love for the city of Bowling Green and the students of BGSU are seldom matched. Therefore, as a citizen of Bowling Green for 5 years and a 2015 graduate of Bowling Green State University, I strongly support Mayor Edwards in his re-election campaign, and I hope that you will as well.

of getting pulled over is smaller than minority groups because she is “not part of a group that has been traditionally marginalized by police.” She said it can be difficult to break down barriers in forums. She said it is easier to break down these walls through informal events where officers and students are casually interacting. Loescher said the dunk a cop tank that was on campus to support a sorority is an example of how they can do this. Other possible ideas Moll and Loescher mentioned were a basketball game or a chili cook off. Hetrick said they do not have as many programs put in place to foster relationships with the students because they have found it more effective to put people in positions where they simply engage with the students. “The officers of Bowling Green do not resent your presence,” Hetrick said. “You are an integral part of this community.” The end of the event encouraged conversation between the officers and the audience over food. During the mingling portion of the event, Han and Jones said they encourage people to interact with the officers not only so they can answer their questions, but also so the fear of interacting with each other can be removed. Han said he hopes people took advantage of speaking with the officers after the event so they can become more comfortable with each other. “Hopefully, they are sticking around and mingling for that purpose,” Han said.

PULSE Del Toro imagines Gothic romance Tabitha Holowka Forum Editor What Guillermo Del Toro was going for in his latest release, “Crimson Peak,” might be lost on most audiences. I am a long time Del Toro fan. He wrote and directed “Pan’s Labyrinth,” “Pacific Rim” and “Hellboy” and “Blade” franchises. He was also part of the screenplay crew for the Hobbit films. As his filmography suggests, he’s a bona fide nerd, and I love him for it. His newest movie “Crimson Peak,” set to the tone of classic Gothic horror romances, was sure to again strike me right in the geek bone. Edith Cushing, an American heiress at the turn of the twentieth century and would-be writer, was warned as a pre-adolescent by the ghost of her mother to “Beware of Crimson Peak!” She receives this warning once again after meeting the baronet Edward Sharpe of Allerdale Mansion, England, but is unsure what it means. Meanwhile, the two quickly fall in love and marry, and she follows the baronet and his reservedly cold sister to their decrepit mansion in England. Once there, she follows the Gothic narrative of intrigue as dark secrets begin to, quite

literally, seep up into view. The scenery is littered with extravagance, indicative of the time period being evoked (turn of the 20th century); the costumes were beautiful and detailed, as well as the houses and offices. The Allerdale Hall mansion is exceptionally magnificent, if logically flawed. Red clay seeping up at the top of a hill? Unlikely, but gives the bloody, violent plot a forced physical and ominous focus. The mansion in the middle of a huge empty field somehow has leaves falling through the center of the decaying tower? Impossible, but the decadence is intoxicating. If these things bother you, then fantasy is simply not your genre; I, however, am all for the reality-defying expressionism of Del Toro. The cast was stacked with brilliant and beautiful actors and actresses. Jessica Chastain (Lucille Sharpe) is riveting and intense with a steely, impenetrable gaze locked on the entire film. Mia Wasikowska is a believably bookish, yet naïve American heiress, easily swept up in the typical Gothic, mysterious charm of Tom Hiddleston’s Edward Sharpe. Charlie Hunnam (Dr. Alan McMichael) is an unsung hero in the film, but there is not a huge focus on him, as his character is more of a device to move along the plot. The nerdy bits have to do with Del Toro

being a fan of classical Gothic novels from the late 1800s, and pulls a little bit from weird tales of those times as well. He wanted to recreate this setting and ambience in the modern film era with a modern, overt focus on the sex-driven motifs of the plot, which were often left to be discerned from reading between the lines in olden times. My complaints are only two. First, that the film could have been even more overt in the sexuality of the plot (however, this may come from my desire to have a little Tom Hiddleston fan service, if you know what I mean). Second, while I understand Del Toro was building tension and getting lost in his fantasy world (as he is wont to do, which I, again, always love), there are times where the plot definitely could have moved a little more quickly, without sacrificing these things and possibly keeping less attentive audiences better attuned to what was happening. Overall, I found this recreation of a classic literary genre great fun, and his mix in with horror was indeed creepy. He remains straightforward in his intentions, creating a strong willed lead female, and his metaphors about the past. If you enjoy Del Toro nerding out about his favorite things, this shouldn’t disappoint.

Costumes inspired by TV characters to try this Halloween

Lauren Fitz Pulse Reporter

If you’re struggling to find a good Halloween costume that doesn’t exceed your budget, I’ve got just what you need to put together a killer television inspired costume.

Chanel Oberlin (“Scream Queens”) All of Chanel’s outfits on Fox’s “Scream Queens” have been over-the-top so far in the show, so your outfit should reflect that. Try finding a feathered top and loose skirt, preferably both in pink. Add a large necklace or earrings and curl your hair and Chanel could possibly make you her next minion. Don’t forget your extra hot pumpkin spice latte!

Sheldon Cooper (“Big Bang Theory”) CBS’ “Big Bang Theory” has many characters, but the easiest to dress up as is Sheldon. All you need is a red T-shirt and khaki pants. You can even go around saying Bazinga and can try to outsmart everyone. You can even buy a Bazinga shirt online. And if you’re waiting for your friends, feel free to knock on their door and say their name three times until they come to the door.

Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass (“Gossip Girl”) Hey Upper East Siders, want to dress up like your favorite it couple? For Chuck, a nice tuxedo and a scarf is all you’ll need. But since tuxedos are expensive, just look your best and you’ll be fine. For Blair, make sure you wear a headband, since she never went without one. Outfit wise, you can wear a flowy blouse,

miniskit, tights and flats. Make sure your hair is perfectly curled since you know Gossip Girl will be watching your every move.

Meredith Grey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) It’s easy to dress up as ABC’s Meredith Grey from “Grey’s Anatomy” because she’s in scrubs for almost every scene. However, the color of the scrubs you wear does matter, since she was in light blue for her intern and resident years and currently wears blue since she’s an attending. The way you style your hair also matters, since she tended to pull it back in a messy ponytail when she was an intern and resident but now, as an attending, wears it pulled back in a bun.

Rachel Green (“Friends”) While NBC’s “Friends” ended 11 years ago, dressing up as your favorite character will

always be there for you. For Rachel, she was all about fashion and wearing what was in style. The best way to do a Rachel costume is to find a nice blouse and pair it with a skirt or with a pair of jeans. The best part about dressing up as Rachel is her hair. Since Jennifer Aniston changed her hairstyle so many times during the show’s run, you have a variety of hairstyles to choose from.

Alison DiLaurentis (“Pretty Little Liars”) In many flashback scenes from ABC Family’s teen drama “Pretty Little Liars,” Alison DiLaurentis is wearing a yellow, ruffled tank top and dark wash jeans. You can choose if you want to be Ali before she went missing and keep the clothes clean or Ali after she was “buried alive” and make the outfit dirty.

Civil citations explained By Jessica Speweike Reporter Noxious weeds, open burning, abandoned refrigerators – all these things qualify as civil citations, which have appeared more in recent Bowling Green police blotters. The Civil Infraction Ordinance was implemented on September 5, 2006, according to the Civil Offense Citations pamphlet from the Bowling Green Police Department (BGPD). Civil citations are citations that are not processed through municipal courts and they can range from offenses such as public urination to noise complaints. “It’s for low level misdemeanor offenses,” said Lt. Dan Mancuso of the BGPD. There are three classes of civil citations – A, B, C and D – and, depending on the offense, the amount of the fine varies within

each classification, according to the Civil Offense Citation pamphlet. A Class A civil citation fine begins at $50 and if the fine is not paid within 10 days then the amount doubles. The same rule applies to Class B, C and D civil citations. Class B, C and D civil citations begin at higher dollar amounts than Class A, and if it is an individual’s second or third offense within a classification, then the fine amount continues to increase. “Civil citations are done, typically, through a municipality,” said University Police Capt. Mike Campbell, “so they set up, maybe, a city ordinance that would allow a law enforcement officer to utilize that as opposed to a criminal citation.” These types of citations vary from city to city and can be issued to anyone from stu-

Falcons look to bounce back at home By Evan Hayes Sports Reporter Having dropped their past four conference contests, the Bowling Green State University women’s soccer team will look to pick up a win this weekend when they return home to Cochrane stadium for match-ups against Northern Illinois and Western Michigan. Despite making strides this season, the Falcons sit at 2-6-0 in conference tied for the third worst record. “We are learning how to win,” head Coach Lindsay Basalyga said. “It’s a process.” BG has improved their record for the second straight season, with their 6-9-1 record already two wins better than last year.

from their opponents’ attack along the backline. When their backline has played strong, the Falcons have been able to support Cadel and give up fewer goals. The program as a whole will look to be more consistent as they look ahead to the postseason. “We’ve put some pressure on ourselves as we head into the last games of the season,” Basalyga said. “But I trust our mentality and know they will continue to compete for a spot in the MAC tournament.” The Falcons will be in action this Friday against Northern Illinois, starting at 7p.m. at Cochrane Stadium. They will then face off against Western Michigan on Sunday at 1p.m.

Overall record

Mens soccer prepare for final game at Cochrane By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green men’s soccer team will have their final home match of the season on Saturday against the West Virginia Mountaineers, after finishing a four match road trip during which the team went 0-3-1. After the match, the team will begin another four match road trip to close out the season, not including potential playoff matches. “We enjoy playing at home, but a game’s a game,” Head coach Eric Nichols said. “We didn’t lose those games because they were played on the road, we lost them because we didn’t do the little things we needed to do, and if we don’t do the little things we need to

He needs to have options, and then we’ll be able to possess it a little bit longer, and we’ll open them up.” The Falcons will have a chance to get themselves closer to playoff contention with a victory, with five of their six victories coming at home. “We don’t get too caught up in (home field advantage),” Nichols said. “Of course we like playing at home, but it’s going to come down to what we do in those 90 minutes.”

German club hosts annual festival By Holly Shively City Editor Students and community members participated in traditional German festivities at the Oktoberfest Wednesday. Held in the Ballroom of the Bowen Thompson Student Union, students and community members listened to polka music in both English and German by Squeezebox, comprised of Mollie B and Ted Lange. Lange played accordion while Mollie B rotated between vocals, trumpet, keyboard, and saxophone. Couples danced the traditional German polka dances to Squeezebox’s music. Many attendants and German Club members were dressed in dirndl and Lederhosen, traditional German attire. Attendants also had the opportunity to eat traditional German foods like Brats and pretzels. The University’s German Club has worked for months on pulling together this year’s Oktoberfest, the biggest celebration since it began 18 years ago.
