Meanings in appropriating names In a telecommunications class, I recently had a discussion about whether it is or isn’t appropriate to name sports teams after indigenous people, or to even derive names from what we stereotypically associate with them. There was no conclusive answer found in my class, but I wanted to explore this topic further. Is there any situation in which this is appropriate? Is there a difference in the amount of respect or disrespect if a team is made up of every other race but the one with their name on the scoreboard, or if a team is made up entirely of people of that race? While there are many of these teams out there, I will speak about three which have practically become household names: the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves and Washington Redskins. I am not sure about where the Washington Redskins got their name, but after searching around, I discovered that the Indians and the Braves both took on these names after having baseball players from certain tribes join their teams. This statement makes me wonder why, of all of the other players, did these teams choose
Abbey Serena Columnist names related to Indian tribes? Why not take a name that’s associated with a white player? Is it because, throughout the 1900’s, Native Americans were viewed as savage warriors, set on winning against any competitor? The Redskins, on the other hand, bluntly put out a racist term as their name. Were you to put any other color in front of the word “skin”, there would be so many outbursts that the owner of the team would have no choice but to change the name. So why, except for a few protests, is the term “redskin” okay to use for Native Americans? In my opinion, using these names is a lot like naming your dog after someone higher up on the food chain, so to speak. This could be an artist, a writer, an owner of a powerful company. And when you say “bad so-and-so, no chewing on the couch”, you’re technically putting down the person you named the dog after. It’s the same with naming a sports team
after a race. “The Indians were so bad tonight! They got destroyed!” Same concept. I don’t have much of a comment about a team of Native Americans that names themselves something to do with their race, because that’s on them. It’s their choice, and if they don’t feel offended by it, so be it. But when you have a team made up of a mixture of different races, and maybe you had one Native American on the team thirty years ago, I don’t think it’s appropriate to call yourselves something related to Native Americans. Don’t you think it’s just a little offensive to plaster a massive, red head with a feather sticking out of its scalp all over the media, and then to say, “The Indians just stumbled! And I thought they were supposed to be more graceful than that!” Because every Native American has to be a light-on-his-feet fighter, with feathers on his head and a fighting spirit inside of him, with no deviation whatsoever. “Roll over, Vincent van Gogh! Good boy!” Respond to Abbey at thenews@bgnews.com
Musings, when to say farewell One of the harder questions you may ask yourself is: When do you know it is time to say goodbye to a friendship? This crew has been your go to for adventure, endless nights of talking while eating pizza and the people you counted on most when you were struggling. Now, perhaps you have changed or they have, but something just does not seem the same when you come over to hang out. Either way, time spent with them feels less and less constructive and more along the lines of taxing to your overall mood. The first thing to account for is “Do they lift me up or bring me down?” If negativity lurks behind
bg news
Kyrstin James Columnist all of your conversations with them, then you are going to feel more negative. Healthy friendships seek to have open and constructive conversations where passions, ideas and laughter can be exchanged. If you feel like the main topic of the conversations tends to be saddening or critical you will begin to feel drained of optimism.

The second question to ask yourself is “Do they love who I was or who I am becoming?” The truth is, we all change and some more than others. A few months ago, you may have held different ideals or placed emphasis on one area of your life as opposed to another. In any case, you have switched things up and that may have unsettled some of your crew. Now you don’t always agree on the same things and changes like this tend to require a little adjustment to the group dynamic. Some people just will not accept who we choose

An open letter to the worst customers
Anyone who works in the service industry knows how lousy customers can be. Whether it’s the man who demands you to cater to his every whim, the woman who complains about your service to your face, or the family who disregards anyone else around them and acts like they own the place, there is one thing in common: you are providing a service and they are unappreciative of it. In solidarity of all of my fellow cashiers, servers, hosts and hostesses, sales associates, stockers, bus boys, and the like, here is my open letter to every crappy customer. Dear aforementioned crappy customer; If you think that this letter might possibly apply to you, it probably does. If you have ever acted towards a service employee as if they are beneath you, or without respect this applies
Taylor Lody Columnist to you. I would like you to know that I am sick and tired of apologizing for things that are out of my control. Movie theatre prices are expensive. Food takes time to cook and isn’t available for serving the second you sit down at the table. Self check out is confusing if you don’t read the user-friendly, explicit instructions. We, the members of the service industry, understand that you’re unhappy but we can do literally nothing to change these things. We are at the bottom of the food chain, but if you really feel so strongly about your complaints, I can direct you to the survey at the bottom of your receipt with false and sugary cheer.
The only good thing that comes from our horrible interactions with you is that we then use it to bond with our co-workers by complaining to them about how horrible you are. We make fun of you the second you leave, in shrill voices and over exaggerated pinched faces. You become the butt of our jokes and the common enemy around which we rally. If you don’t have a problem with this, by all means please don’t change a thing, but I can only hope that you feel even a twinge of shame or guilt. I cannot fathom what causes you to mistreat any employee that provides a service that you demand. This is clearly something you cannot or choose not to do for yourself and although we are paid for our time, we are doing you a favor. We are paid to make sure things run smoothly and stay clean, not to put up with your crummy attitudes. Treating your service provider with respect will
earn you special treatment much more often than throwing a fit will. If you’re kind and pleasant and treat us like a human being, we are more likely to go out of our way to make your experience a great one. I genuinely love my job; I frequently get recognized for a job well done and my coworkers are all wonderful and interesting people, but if you refuse to treat me with the respect that I deserve then you are part of my personal hell, thanks for contributing. Sincerely, Someone Who Doesn’t Get Paid Enough to Deal With You Respond to Taylor at thenews@bgnews.com
TV and sports make bad combination Dear sports, it’s time you and I have a long overdue and serious talk. Many people watch sports each week, especially if their team is playing. But there’s something else that airs each week that also has a loyal following. It’s TV shows. And, as an avid TV watcher, I’m tired of their start times being pushed back – or even not being aired – because games take too long to finish. Why should a show that’s advertised to start at 9:00 on a Sunday night get pushed back to some wonky time like 9:34 because a game showed way too many commercials or a coach wanted to use all of their time outs, even when a team had no chance of winning and the coach wanted to stall the game? Why should a show that airs every Tuesday night on a major broadcast network not get

The third question to ask yourself is “Do these friends allow you to branch out and have a diverse group of friends, or is your friendship exclusive?” They may balk at hearing tales of your new friends or even discourage you from seeing such friends. This makes branching out
Lauren Fitz Columnist shown because people have to watch the World Series game instead? What if, like me, people just want to know who the Red Devil is on “Scream Queens.” Some people, again, like me, don’t care that the Royals beat the Mets. It doesn’t seem to matter if people buy tickets and watch games on TV. Sports teams don’t get canceled by owners or the amount of games they play each season gets cut down because people don’t pay attention to them or go to their games. But it’s different for TV shows. In order for shows to be renewed, they rely on good

ESPN and other sports highlights shows will replay the biggest moments of sporting events over and over again and the clips never change. But, if you miss the “can’t miss episode of the season,” you don’t get the luxury of multiple channels showing highlights. There’s only so much that reading recaps of what happened can do. You’re also at the mercy of the channel posting their episode online the next day and having to avoid spoilers for a day about what happened. Or you have to wait eight days to watch the episode and avoid spoilers for eight days, which is even harder. You’re

Now is the time to reflect, pre-holidays
Misty mornings, polychromatic scenery and brisk winds are ideal settings to contemplate the year before the holiday frenzy. The post-October realization that we are but weeks away from another Christmas season comes with a strong sense of foreboding for me. Weeks away from people convincing themselves that they ought to be cheery, with a forced smile on their faces. Weeks away from the consumer madness. Weeks away from familial guilt. Weeks from everyone being obsessed with false ideologies. My family life is confusing and disjointed, with more demands upon me than I can meet. They are lax and understand I can afford little, but it pains me to see them feel that they have to spend outside of their means for the sake of “the perfect holiday.� Anyway, what I prefer to contemplate during the month of November is the year in retrospect. What was my favorite book? What did I learn? In school, what was my favorite class? What relationships did I do the best with, and which ones not so much?
Tabitha Holowka Forum Editor This is also the time I like to spend contemplating and preparing for the new year, as the five days between it and Christmas are surely insufficient. What successes can I carry with me? What can I do now so that my new year is less overwhelming and shocking? Should I throw a party? I apologize for my overt distaste for Christmas, but it does get my anxieties ticking off the charts, so I find it important to remind myself to not get so caught up and find time for reflection and maintaining a workable pace as the year enters its final act.

Concert benefits refugees By Chelsea Schroeder Reporter Music was performed by many students and faculty to raise donations for refugees during the Universit y’s Refuge Benefit Concert. The concert took place on Nov. 2 in the Wooster Street Center. Many students and faculty from the University of the College of Musical Arts were brought together to provide music and entertainment in return for donations and school supplies for immigrant organizations. The event opened with an excerpt reading of the poem “Home” by Warsan Shire, read by Katherine Meizel, Sidra Lawrence, Kara Attrep and Megan Rancier. “Nobody leaves home unless home is the mouth of shark,” began the poem, ending on the last line, “but I know that anywhere is safer than here.” “Can music change the world?” Event organizer Katherine Meizel questioned the audience, “lets see what a difference music
can make.” The event showcased student talent from classical music, rock and roll, the Afro-Caribbean Ensemble and vocals with piano. “Ready, Set, Ravon” was the powerful piece performed before intermission, the instruments created by past University students and maintained by current ones. “It comes from an online learning community, and the words that comes out of the drum sounds like how we speak the syllable,” said director of the performing group Allison Eckardt Merrill. “It’s exhilarating to play with so many different great musicians for a cause thats much larger than ourselves,” said performer Declan Wicks. Amanda Rich sang soprano as Adam O’Dell played his self-written song, “Sure on this Shining Night,” on the piano. “It can be really easy to see all the bad

The logo for the GRIT challenge, hosted on campus by the Counseling Center, which has promoted it through the #BGritty hashtag. The challenge encourages perserverance.
Challenge promotes achieving goals By Rachel Kielar Reporter
Through the University counseling center, students can work to achieve “GRIT.” Whether you are familiar with the 1969 version, the 2010 remake, or neither, the popular Western movie True Grit serves up a line throughout the film that has become iconic for more than one reason. Mattie Ross, a young girl trying to avenge her father’s death with the help of an aging
U.S. Marshall, epitomizes this line, as she repeatedly exclaims that she wants someone with ‘true grit’. True GRIT has now come to Bowling Green. The GRIT Challenge is a series of monthly challenges and fun tasks that can increase students’ GRIT Factor. For example, there is “Because I said I would,” a worldwide social movement that focuses on committing to the promises people have made for to themselves.
B O W L I N G

Focus on academic goals, commitment to at least one long-term goal and discipline make up the GRIT formula for success. However, this principle is meant not just apply to success in school, but to success in all aspects of life. But first, grit needs to be defined. In an April 2013 TED Talk, a psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania named Angela Duckworth discussed the foremost predictor of suc-

cess among Chicago public schoolchildren she’d studied, some in dreadful financial and social situations. “It wasn’t talent or brains,” she said during the talk. “It wasn’t social intelligence. It wasn’t good looks. It wasn’t physical health. It wasn’t IQ. It was grit.” Duckworth defined grit as “a passion and perseverance for very long-term goals.”

components of the plan. “GRIT here is a way for students to start thinking about where they see themselves not only through their college years, but also where they see themselves in the future,” says Hathaway. Some challenges offered might include anything from learning how to do something fun and new like juggling or simply learning to relax. Students can enter the GRIT challenge at bgsu.edu/grit or contact the counseling center.
The final topic at the USG meeting was the University’s creed. Parker said, “The BGSU creed is pretty much just a culmination of the core values of the University.” Parker included that creed stands for what is hoped that the students, faculty, and administration believe in as well. Parker said that looking at the creed is a good place to start when looking to define the unique University experience.

Falcons prepare for Mountaineers By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green mens soccer team will take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers Tuesday afternoon after losing to the Buffalo Bulls 2-1 on Friday night. The Falcons now have a 8-8-1 record, good for third in the Mid-American Conference, but still not in position to move on to the MAC semifinals. The Fa lcons w i l l go into t he Appalachian State match following a late loss against the Bulls, where they were overtaken on the strength of two goals at 86:07 and 88:00. “We played a really good 80 minutes last game,” Head coach Eric Nichols said. “We need to play a really good 90 minutes this game.” Although the goals came late in the match, the team is putting their emphasis on not allowing goals early against
Appalachian State, who have scored 40 percent of their goals so far this season in the first half. “We need to score on our chances, but we can’t give up goals early in the game,” Nichols said. “We were actually really good in the first half (against Buffalo), we just need to finish it up.” The team has also been satisfied with their defense coming into this match, as they haven’t given up more than two goals since the team’s October 13 match against the Syracuse Orange; four matches have been played since then. “I’m not sure that we need to change our defensive strategy to play better,” Nichols said. The Falcons currently hold a 7-5-1 record in inter-conference matches this season, but a 1-3 record in matches against MAC opponents has left them on the outside looking in om the playoff picture. The
team will face another inter-conference opponent in Appalachian State, who are members of the Sun Belt Conference. “I’m not sure that we play better,” Nichols said on the team’s success against teams not in the MAC. “We just tend to get better results.” Despite their history of playing well against non-M AC teams this season, the team is not writing off Appalachian State, currently holding a 6-7 record, as an easy opponent. “They’re a young team, but tough,” Nichols said. “They’ll push us hard, and if we don’t play a complete game we’ll end up with a loss.” After the match on Tuesday night, the Falcons will play against the Akron Zips on the road Saturday night to finish out the regular season. It will then be determined whether or not the Falcons will be moving on to the playoffs.

Volleyball splits weekend matches By Isaiah Vasquez Sports Reporter The 5-18 Falcons took part in a MAC doubleheader at the Stroh Center over Halloween weekend, going up against conference rivals Kent State University (14-9) and Ohio University (19-5). Bowling Green left the weekend with a win against Kent State 3-2 and a loss to Ohio University 0-3. Kent State, whose record is now 14-9 and 8-2 in the MAC, was on a 7-game win streak before facing Bowling Green. Ohio’s record improves to 20-5 overall, 10-2 in the conference. Bowling Green’s offense was able to push through 5 sets against the Golden Flashes with a short staffed team. Freshman captain Kallie Seimet had a personal best this season, with 34 digs out of the team’s 107, while Jelena Sunjic, Katie Scholten, Alyssa Maloney and Madeline Garda each had double digits for digs, totaling 61 among the four of them. The Falcon offense began on a strong note, finishing off the first set 25-22.
The nine member team slowed in the beginning of the following sets, changing the match outlook as the second and third sets were won by Kent, 21-25 and 19-25 respectively. The fourth set was more productive for the Falcons as they mounted a comeback to finish the set 28-26 after tying the Flashes 25-25. Bowling Green was able to finish the match with a fifth set win 15-10. Offensively, the Falcons had one of their strongest games of the season. Four players had double digit kills, largely off assists from sophomore Katie Scholten, delivering a career high 35 assists. “Katie was outstanding. I believe this is the first time this season to do that. It just shows how much she’s also developed and grown this season,” head coach Danijela Tomic said. “This is huge, this is huge for our team to win in this fashion against a really good team that has been on a roll.” Following the win over Kent, the Falcons hoped to start a streak and take
down Ohio University, but were unsuccessful in a 3-0 loss. “I’m pleased to see how we competed,” Tomic said. “I thought we fought but it’s always hard to come back after an emotional win in 5 against Kent and then playing one of the top teams in the MAC and with the lack of depth it is just hard to come back and win against such a quality team.” Bowling Green was still able to play solid defense despite the loss, as they held similar performances to the Kent game. Kallie Seimet, Jelena Sunjic and Madeline Garda each had double digit digs totaling 48 digs out of the 62 in the match. “I’m pleased. Our defense was very good again, it seemed to me like Ohio was eating everything,” Tomic said. “Just offensively we couldn’t score and we we couldn’t stop Ohio blocking, it was just hard for us to score tonight.” Bowling Green’s record shifts to 6-19 overall and 2-10 in the MAC. They will travel to face Buffalo on November 6 and will visit Akron the next day.
As this years NBA season was about Evan to start, the talk Hayes amongst fans and Sports analysts centered Reporter around who would step up and be the superstar of the league. Would LeBron James continue to be the dominant force that has made him the face of the NBA for the past decade? Could Kevin Durant return from injury to become the MVP he was two seasons ago? Was this going to be the year Anthony Davis made the leap and used his godlike athleticism and length to absolutely crush opponents? But while we were debating who would take the reins of the NBA, we did not notice someone else already had them. Steph Curry, building on his MVP award and championship from last season, has been the best player in the league through three games. Albeit a small sample size, Curry’s Warriors are 3-0 and at the top of the Western Conference after Curry’s strong efforts. Curry doesn’t dominate with overpowering length or unparalleled athleticism. Instead, his skill and awareness are unmatched. He combines deadly shooting range with inhuman ball-skills, and he’s finally become a good enough defender to hold opposite guards in check. And his game has reached a new level to begin this season. His 118 points through three games is the most since Michael Jordan scored that many in 1989, and only Jordan, Jerry West, and Wilt Chamberlain have scored that many or more points through as many days. After he torched the Pelicans for 53 points on Halloween his scoring average now sits at 39.3 points, which is the best in the NBA. He is third in steals with 2.3 a game, and sixth with 7.3 assists per game, and he is shooting 58.8 percent from the field, 95.5 percent from the free-throw line, and 48.6 percent from three-point range. Perhaps more impressively, Curry is leading the Warriors to new heights practically by himself. After one game, Andrew Bogut is already shelved with a concussion. David Lee, a consistent low block scorer for years, is no longer on the roster. Draymond Green is not an offensively centric player, and Klay Thompson has been cold to start the season. Curry has taken on more than anyone in the league. James has publically said he is now taking a back seat to Kevin Love. Durant has the luxury of playing with the perpetual motion machine that is Russell Westbrook. Anthony Davis has struggled to acclimate to his new coach’s system. With increased pressure to win repeat as champions and build on last season’s success, Curry has made the leap into the Best Player in the League conversation, and he has taken a commanding lead. Moving forward, he’ll be the favorite to win this season’s MVP award as well as a highlight machine.

Main to get new traffic signs By Holly Shively City Editor Bowling Green residents can expect new traffic signs and development in the near future because of city council decisions Monday night. Municipal Administrator Lori Tretter reported several Traffic Commission updates to the council. The first update included the approval of signage at the new Ridge Park in Ward One. Parking will only be allowed at the park during operating hours with no overnight parking permitted. These parking regulations follow those of other parks within the city. Also from the Traffic Commission, Tretter announced that the commission will be instituting signs prohibiting right turns on red lights from Court Street onto Main Street in both directions. Other signs considered to make the intersection safer included signs to keep motorists from blocking the intersection and signs reminding drivers to yield to the left turn. “Because it’s a jog, when people are going straight and other folks are trying to turn left, they may not quite understand, especially if you’re from out of town and not familiar with that intersection,” Tretter said.

Continued from Page 7 in the world,” said O’Dell before starting his piece. “It’s good to remember that there are good people in the world, and we should go about remembering them.” Over $350 in donations and multiple boxes of school supplies were collected at the event. “We are hoping to bring some publicity to this issue, and it’s a great opportunity for music students to use their livelihood to make a difference, and I’m proud of them,” said Meizel. All donations raised are being given to UNICEF and Us Together, a state-wide organization dedicated to coordinate, organize and initiate services to immigrants and refugees. “We are a state-wide organization and we serve refugees all over the world,” said Nadia Kasvin, founder of Us Together, “founded by former refugees, we ourselves experience what it is like to start over and we are here to help others.” The concert ended with many hoping that the donations raised will provide a better life and education to immigrants and refugees state-wide.
