LGBT Funding formula not in University’s favor members Lower graduation rate leads to reduced government-provided money compared to other state institutions to celebrate graduates
LESS STUDENTS, LESS FUNDS SERIES | 2 of 3 THE BG NEWS LOOKS INTO UNIVERSITY GRADUATION, RETENTION, STATE FUNDING
By Eric Lagatta Campus Editor
Ever since the state funding model changed for higher education, University officials have shown concern for how it will affect the budget in future years. The new funding distribution model hasn’t worked in the
University’s favor, said Rodney Rogers, provost and associate vice president of Academic Affairs. “The formula is weighted toward more of those schools that are producing a lot of degrees more quickly,” Rogers said. “We don’t have as broad an array of graduate programs that are being made available for working professions.”
By that, Rogers means that universities with one-year graduate programs focusing on a working profession will benefit more from the formula. The University, on the other hand, has primarily research-based graduate programs that take two years. The model previously allocated money to public universities based on number of students enrolled in cours-
es, but as of July 2013, it has changed to award institutions for students graduated and courses completed. Fifty percent of funding is now distributed based on degrees completed, a bump from 20 percent. The other 50 percent is based on courses completed.

RUBEN KAPPLER | THE BG NEWS
Luke Grabski adds a word to the wall of hate during events celebrating NIOT’s one year anniversary. The wall was later torn down to symbolize triumph over discrimination.
In honor of the “Not In Our Town” movement’s one-year anniversary on Tuesday, Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate Student Senate hosted this year’s first Diversity Showcase. The Diversity Showcase featured performances by both students and faculty members and was open to the entire community. Performances ranged from musical acts to spoken word poetry and skits from University organizations. Both USG and GSS wanted to create an all inclusive event for students to celebrate diversity, rather than focus on any negative stigma associated with it. “So often we condemn the bad behavior, which is good, but we also need to reward the good behavior,” said Erin Baker, a GSS Student Affairs Representative. “Eventually, the more we applaud and celebrate diversity and all the good that comes with it, the negativity will stop.”

ITS warns campus of software virus, some systems still down
Information Technology Systems announced on Monday through a Canvas message that a virus had impacted University software. Called the Heartbleed Bug, the virus exposed information normally protected by encryption, according to the security message. While the University’s systems have been patched to protect from further attacks, ITS advises users to change their passwords for their university and non-university accounts including email and bank passwords to be safe from any future attacks. Some systems were still offline on Tuesday including some time keeping systems for Student Employment Services, said Assistant Director Michele Schmitz. Schmitz advised in an email to staff that until the systems were online, students and managers were to clock their hours manually. As of Tuesday afternoon, the following time keeping systems were still not online: Huntington Center, MacDonald, Institutional Research, Tucker Center, Centrex, Levis Commons, the Doyt Perry Stadium and the Student Recreation Center.

Sharen Neuhardt says democratic candidate will put more emphasis on high education By Eric Lagatta Campus Editor
With the election for Ohio’s next governor six months away, Sharen Neuhardt, candidate for lieutenant governor, stopped at a small coffee shop in Bowling Green to address a crowd of mostly local Democrats. Neuhardt, the running mate to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, spoke at Grounds for Thought on Tuesday night about why the
ticket would be a better option than Republican incumbent John Kasich. Neuhardt, a lawyer who ran and lost twice for U.S. Congress in southwestern Ohio, is FitzGerald’s second choice for a running mate. FitzGerald first tapped state Sen. Eric H.

Sexual assault in military addressed in speech Tuesday Lt. Col. Weber explains differences in military, civilian courts in handling cases

MON., APR. 14
Lt. Col. Jeremy Weber addressed the controversy of sexual assault in the military on Tuesday, hoping to educate students more on the issue. “Some people think the military is doing something right,” Weber said. “Some people think the military is doing something wrong — we need to have a conversation about that.” Roughly 50 people attended Weber’s speech in the
Union as he compared the military justice system to the civilian criminal justice system. “[Sexual assault] is not a new issue, but what does the data mean? Is it a military [problem] or a broader societal problem? How many sexual assaults are too many?” Weber said. In 2013, 26,000 people were estimated as being a victim of sexual assault in the military, according to the Center for American Progress. Of that number, 14,000 were male. This is a 35 percent increase
from an estimated 19,000 victims in 2011, according to CAP’s website. Besides the increasing statistics, a major concern for audience members was if protection programs are available for victims. Weber explained that a victim who experiences sexual assault in their unit, especially from someone else in their unit, has a different effect than one in everyday society, but options are still available to them. “Any person who makes a report has the right to
request a transfer, which must be acted upon within three days,” Weber said. “Also, if a victim does not report the assault to the commander, their identity can be protected.” Leila Kawar, assistant professor in the department of political science, played a major role in Weber’s visit to the University. She also encouraged her students to attend, and to notice the correlations between her class lecture and

FOCUSED AGGRESSION Softball team looks to start strong in doubleheader against Detroit Mercy Wednesday at 2 p.m. By Brandon Shrider Reporter
The BG softball team wants to focus on coming out stronger in the first game of the series against Detroit Mercy on Wednesday. “Our focus is game one,” head coach Shannon Salsburg said. “We need to play a stronger game one and find a way to get the first win.” Salsburg’s sentiments have maintained consistency throughout the season. The Falcons are often successful when being aggressive at the plate, but now they are looking to translate that to include the games themselves. The Falcons have repeatedly lost the first game of a series which has caused them to play catch-up for the duration of the series. Upon returning from their 1-3 result this past weekend, the Falcons will take on the Titans at Meserve Field at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. With no travel time this week, the Falcons were able to receive a day off yesterday. However, with BG playing at home, they will look to build upon their 3-1 record play-
ing on Meserve Field this season. “We need to come out and show for our fans,” coach Shannon Salsburg said. “It’s our field, we need to dominate.” Salsburg and the Falcons will look to do so against the 4-30 Detroit Titans. While no game is easy, Detroit has lost nine of their last 10 games including the last four. As well, Bowling Green supports an all-time record of 36-8 in games against the Titans. Detroit only features one player hitting above .300 and no pitcher carrying an ERA less than 9.32, however, these numbers are not important to the Falcons as they look to maintain their aggressive approach on the field. “We need to come out aggressive in all facets,” Salsburg said. “We need to attack the zone and push runs across the plate.” Not only looking to be aggressive at the plate, BG will look to jump on Detroit early in the doubleheader.

Tennis uses team effort in senior night win
Falcons are 10-6 going into last two matches of season By Trevor Thompson Reporter
The tennis team turned in another winning performance this weekend as they defeated both Akron and Buffalo. On Friday, the Falcons hosted Akron and defeated them by a score of 6-1. The Falcons started off the day by winning all three doubles matches, and the Falcons won five of the singles matches, winning four of those in straight sets. The closest of the three doubles matches came when Akron’s Karolina Maksimava and Martina Zerbola rallied from a 3-1 deficit against Brozovich and Chiricosta in which they tied the match at 3-3. Brozovich and Chiricosta then took the lead by a 6-3 score. Akron then closed the gap and came within a single game, but an unfazed Brozovich and Chiricosta captured back-to-back games for an 8-5 win. Head coach Penny Dean stressed the importance of getting out to an early lead over Akron. “Akron is a very talented team with some good players,” said BG head coach Penny Dean. “But

they have struggled a little bit lately with injuries and illness. I felt that we needed to start well, in both doubles and singles, to try to set the tone, and we were able to do that today.” The Falcons took the early lead and never looked back as they almost blanked the Zips in what was a good day for the Falcons. “It was great to play on campus today,” Dean said. “We get a fair amount of fans when we play at Perrysburg, but there’s just something about playing here in BG on a nice day.” “There were a lot of fans between here and the baseball game this afternoon, there

Women’s professional basketball seen as inferior to men’s professional league Tara Jones Assistant SPORTS EDITOR Monday night’s WNBA draft is just one of the many reminders that professional women’s basketball is clearly inferior to men’s. The 2013 NBA draft drew in 2,999,000 viewers, making it the second most watched draft ever on ESPN. It is impossible to flip on ESPN without hearing about the NBA’s fresh batch of draftees for the next season, whether it’s an announcement that a player declared or analysts debating if a player should declare or not. In comparison, the 2014 WNBA draft Monday night barely got any recognition. We live in a society where men are valued more than women. As a result of this, men’s sports are more highly valued than women’s. Quite frankly, anytime the WNBA’s name is even mentioned is in passing as a joke. The WNBA’s regular season doesn’t officially start until May 16 and goes until August. That fact that its season takes place in the sport’s offseason says enough. Up until the professional level, women’s basketball is always played during the winter season along with men’s. However, the WNBA has to wait
until all other basketball is finished to even begin its season. One would think this would allow for the WNBA to claim more spots on national television, but still only a handful is even televised. It seems problematic to put off the women’s season entirely so the men can dominate the basketball world. Even when it’s time for the women to do so, they are still not recognized. The average regular season WNBA game received 231,000 viewers and an average finals matchup had just 344,000 people tune in, according to SB Nation. The NBA also has three network partners to help the sport’s popularity. Viewership of the games on TNT, ABC and ESPN was up 37 percent in the last decade, according to NBA.com. TNT alone averaged 2 million viewers in 52 telecasts for last season. However, there seems to be hope on the horizon for the WNBA. In 2013, the WNBA and ESPN signed a deal for the 2014 season in hopes to increase the sport’s popularity. With this deal, approximately 30 live games will be televised on ESPN, ESPN 2 and ABC which will include the finals. This appears to be something that will be great for the sport, but it also seems long overdue when compared to the coverage the NBA gets. SB Nation claims that 2013 experienced a growth in view-
ership numbers following an all-time low average of 180,000 viewers in 2012. They attribute this to the rookie stars of the draft, Skylar Diggins, Elena Delle Donne and Brittney Griner. Though this may seem like nothing but good news, this too can be seen as problematic. Griner was, without a doubt, the most talked about player of the bunch because of the way she dominated the court. The only reason society had any sort of interest in her is because she made the women’s game look more like men’s with the way she dunked over other players. Diggins and Delle Donne also became superstars for the program. The question is, though, were they valued so highly by mainstream media because of their pure talent or is it primarily because they were seen as two of the more attractive females the sport has seen in a while? The fact that the game grew because of these three players specifically is, once again, great for the sport, but the reason why still oppresses the players. This sends the message that until the sport becomes more like men’s or the players are more pleasing for men to watch, the sport is of no importance to our society. It seems that, until we live in a society where women are equal to men, the WNBA will always be inferior.

Shelby Sweinhagen | THE BG NEWS
Our society is very consumed with entertainment. When we’re not watching shows on Netflix, we’re talking about them. It is always amazing to witness the amount of passion people have when discussing their favorite show, sports team or movie. We get caught up in these story lines and characters that we love or hate with such vigor. On the more extreme end, we see fandoms. These subcultures devote their lives to something that is completely made up and for the most part, based in some other reality. I think what excites us is the idea of being someone other than ourselves. Through watching movies or reading a book, we can, if only for a moment, experience what it is like to live the life of someone that’s daring or adventurous. Someone whose life is filled with excitement and newness and tragic beauty. Fictional characters live the life we wish we could, but
think we can’t. It is too often that we look at our own lives and grow bored and unfulfilled at what we spent all our years making; we grow tired of the greys and whites. Instead of striving to change our lives, we settle for experiencing moments of artificial color that we obtain through our entertainment outlets. Hoping to find vivid blues and deep reds, we instead find watercolors and pretend it is enough. Eventually we have moments of actualization where we realize this, but fear and failure cripple us from making a change. We have to allow ourselves the possibility of failure in order to step out and accomplish what we want to. Instead of being consumed with the lives of those that are made up, focus on the one that is actually being lived. And live it fearlessly. The author Clay Clark said it best: “My friend, temporary setbacks and failures are prerequisites to success. They aren’t signs that ‘maybe it’s just not supposed to be.’”

Long distance relationships work well Knife, gun use different, has not changed Dylanne PETROS COPY CHIEF
You know what sucks? Long distance relationships. OK, maybe two hours isn’t long distance. But to me, it feels like it is. I feel like a lot of people understand where I am coming from. I mean, after a long day at school or work there are just some days when you want to come home and cuddle with your significant other, have some drinks and watch a movie. But you can’t. I dealt with a long distance relationship before. But that was only for three months, when my ex was in Kansas City for an internship and I was in Sandusky working at Cedar Point. It was a 13 hour drive and an hour time difference. After the summer, we were reunited because we both attend the University. I always told myself that I would never date a guy from home while in college because I didn’t want
to deal with a long distance relationship while at school, since the year is nine months instead of just three months during the summer. But look at me now. Don’t get me wrong. I love my boyfriend. He makes me feel like a queen and I am happier than I ever was. But with the stress of senior year, there are a lot of nights that I come home and I want to curl up in bed with my boyfriend. I can’t, though. We text all day, every day. We ta lk on the phone ever y night. We FaceTime a couple of nights a week [I’ll admit, it is usually just so I can see his adorable cats]. We see each other once every week or two. He comes and visits me on his days off and I am so grateful for that. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like enough. My heart aches when he isn’t around. It can be hard to sleep once he leaves because I got used to him sleeping next to me. Our relationship is so much stronger, I think, because of the fact that we

are apart. We trust each other completely. We may joke about having secret significant others but we aren’t serious. I know he wouldn’t do anything and I would never dream of hurting him [or anyone else, friend or significant other] for that matter. We are still in the “honeymoon phase” and both love and cherish the time we spend together. Being apart from my boyfriend, as much as it sucks, is really good. It is good because it makes our relationship stronger and it ma kes us not ta ke things for granted. Looking back on it, I wouldn’t change a thing. The distance makes me that much more excited to live with him one day. I guess what I am trying to say is, don’t trust yourself. If you tell yourself you want to stay in Ohio for the rest of your life, apply for a job outside of the state. You just might be surprised with the outcome.

Paul Mckenzie COLUMNIST In the fall of 1985 I felt alive. I felt big. I felt important. I was a freshman in high school in Norwalk, Ohio. I had good friends and I was having a great time. I also had what I have now: a big mouth. I was the unofficial cheerleader for the Truckers and my voice bellowed at every game I could get to, and I got to most. I was a normal teenager and a good kid. One night after our Truckers got trounced on the gridiron, a friend and I walked a short distance to pick up a pizza. I was approached by a wellknown hoodlum in our city who engaged us in small talk. I got smart-mouthed because of my 14-year-old cockiness. A couple of seconds later I heard my name, turned around and felt the tip of a pocket knife in my throat. As a teenager, I was stunned. Yes, my mouth was running, but I did not deserve to have that happen to me. Later that night I cried. I cried not out of fright but out
of the feeling of utter powerlessness. Later on, I realized how lucky I was. The knife could have been a gun and guns can hurt much easier than knives. That night stays with me to this day and it has shaped my feeling about guns since. Every month or so, we have a brand new gun massacre. Last weekend it was a former Ku Klux Klan leader killing people at a Jewish Community Center. I could go on and on listing examples, but we all know the names: Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora. Of course, the requisite request for prayers go out and much hand-wringing goes on but nothing substantial gets done to solve the problem. In the last year, we have seen two massive knife attacks, one outside of Houston and outside of Pittsburgh. One was at a college, another at a high school. These were tragedies, although no one was killed. When watching this news coverage though, I did not say any prayers. I did not wring my hands. I just watched the coverage and said, “Thank God it was just a knife and not a gun.”
It takes will to stab someone or hate to stab someone. Shooting into a crowd is far easier and requires less precision and nerve than stabbing. Guns kill quickly, efficiently, and with less mess to the one pulling the trigger. This is why an America with over 250 million guns scares the life out of me. I look back to that night all those years ago and I’m so very happy I was not harmed. I am even happier that perpetrator did not have a gun. Guns make cowards brave. Guns have the ability to make reasonable people unreasonable. The National Rifle Association says “people kill people, guns don’t kill people.” While that is true, guns certainly do make it easier to kill. I believe a gun-crazy society is not what the writers of the Constitution truly desired. It is time to re-visit gun control; in fact, it is past time. If you disagree, ask someone who lost someone in our multiple gun tragedies that are happening ever more frequently.

Jeremy Weber speaks about sexual assault in the military in the Union on Tuesday with the hopes of educating more people on the topic.
ASSAULT From Page 2 Weber’s personal experience. “We had people from the women’s center, cadet court and law programs,” Kawar said. “That’s something that usually doesn’t happen.” During the event, Weber allowed the audience to ask questions. Many of them consisted of changes in the military, myths and sexual assaults related to women in combat.
LAVENDER From Page 1 “Lavender graduation began about five years ago,” Spears said. “The purpose is to be more inclusive of LGBT students.” The name for the ceremony formed from the combination of the colors pink and blue, which makes lavender, Spears said. “Pink is society’s color for women and blue for men,” Spears said. “The color lav-

Weber addressed every issue the audience presented, and does not personally think women in combat will increase the sexual assault rates. Grad student Tess Newlove
appreciated Weber’s insight. “It was very informative,” Newlove said. “I was surprised to learn about the recent changes in the military in response to sexual assault.” Freshman Samantha Christ also enjoyed the event. “Some of the information I didn’t know before, I do now,” she said. “It was really good insight.” Overall, Newlove is glad she was able to hear Weber speak. “It was interesting and a
good overview of how the military justice system works compared to the overall justice system,” Newlove said. Although the turnout of the event was a success, Weber is still concerned about the future of sexual assault in the military, especially since the numbers continue to rise yearly. “If military members cannot work as a team and without sexual assault being a worry, it endangers the missions — and that’s what scares me.”
ender shows the merging of cultures and how fluid sexuality can be.” There are many organizations in support of the LGBT Resource Center and Lavender Graduation. VISION is one of them. According to the University’s website, VISION is an LGBTQ organization that operates as both a friend and partner to those interested in learning about and making progress for the LGBT community. The organization performs as a
safe space for fostering conversation about LGBT issues and identities, and promotes safety and a welcoming atmosphere. Junior Luke Grabski has been president of VISION for the past two years and attended Lavender Graduation last year. “Lavender Graduation was really great. It was really uplifting to see LGBT students get recognized for graduating and going off to do great things,” he said. Last year, Grabski volun-
teered and helped present speaker Vicky Kulicke. This year, Grabski plans to attend the event just for support of the LGBT Resource Center. University senior LaShaunda Brown has attended the event as well. “It is nice to see the minority groups of BGSU being recognized, too,” Brown said. “We have a Black Graduation for African-Americans and Lavender Graduation for LGBT students. It shows the push for diversity among the BGSU community.”

RATES From Page 1 The purpose of this change is to address a growing concern in Ohio higher education. Ohio currently ranks 38 among the states, with 26 percent of adults holding a bachelor’s degree, compared with a national average of 31 percent, according to the Ohio Board of Regents. This gap totals billions of dollars in lost economic activity. Gov. John Kasich has tasked all Ohio public universities with making graduation a top priority, a task he reiterated on Feb. 24 during his State of the State speech. “They’re focused on helping students graduate, not just competing against each other to sign up as many as possible,” Kasich said during his speech in Medina, Ohio. He first unveiled this funding formula in 2012, and convened a higher education funding commission composed of all public university presidents, who proposed ways to implement the formula, said Jeff Robinson, director of communications for the Ohio Board of Regents. Additionally, all public universities must submit a
“Complete College Report” as part of the Ohio Board of Regents’ “Complete College Ohio” initiative, Robinson said. That report is due in June and will outline universities’ plans to increase degrees. “This is really something Ohio was doing that was really putting us ahead of the country,” Robinson said. “That would be a way to increase the number of people with degrees in our state.” The formula is just in the beginning stage of implementation, Robinson said, but schools will receive a certain amount of money for each student they graduate. Throughout the year, University officials have reiterated that state funding has declined by 30 percent since 2009. This year, say administrators, the University budget saw a $2.5 million shortfall, and as much as a $10 million shortfall is projected in coming years due to decreases in the State Share of Instruction, which is the formula used to distribute state money. This is a recurring problem for similarly-sized public institutions around the state. “It’s always a concern, definitely,” said Barbara Wharton, associate provost of institution-

al research at Ohio University. “I think when it was first decreasing it came as a surprise ... the big fear is that something will happen fast.” For most state schools, state subsidies hover around 20-30 percent of the university budget, while the rest is tuition and fees. This is a flip-flop from the 1960s, when 60-70 percent of the budget was from state subsidies. “State funding hasn’t kept up with needs,” said Todd Diacon, senior vice president for Academic Affairs and provost at Kent State University. “It’s challenging times for higher education in the United States in general.” To combat these budget shortfalls, all Ohio public universities are shifting focus and planning initiatives that could conceivably boost graduation numbers, and, hence, state money allocation. The BG News compared the University to commonly benchmarked institutions: Miami University, Ohio University, Kent State University and University of Toledo. Of these, Miami University leads the way for 2012, the latest year the numbers are available, in both six-year graduation rate

[80 percent] and the number of those graduated [2,900]. These numbers are according to the National Center for Education Statistics, a federal agency that collects information related to higher education. Comparably, the University had a 58 percent six-year graduation rate in 2012, and graduated 2,063. Miami is strategic about who is accepted into the institution, said Caroline Haynes, associate provost at Miami. The university’s officials have worked to increase the pool of applicants to 25,000 so they have a wider selection, she said. “You really need to be thoughtful about who comes so there’s a good match,” Haynes said. “We try to select students whose interest we offer here.” Some of Miami’s efforts to this end include a range of analytical tools; degree planning tools plot students’ paths to graduation and early alert warning systems notify students about performance issues. Miami also has the goal of having an 85 percent six-year graduation rate. “It’s one thing to maintain,” Haynes said. “It’s another to
80
improve.” The University has a 70 percent retention rate, a number Rogers said he’d like to see rise to 74 percent next fall. Retention measures the percent of students who return between freshmen and sophomore year. Ultimately, the long-term goal is 80 percent, he said. To get there, the University is already making use of linked courses, in which freshmen share a number of classes with the same people, the Learning Commons and improved advising. Other schools around the state have similar initiatives. Kent’s main campus had a 52 percent graduation rate. Much of Kent’s efforts, said Diacon, are to engage freshmen early. For instance, Kent has “living learning communities,” where freshmen can reside in the same residence hall as where their learning community is. This creates a “robust firstyear experience,” Diacon said, as it creates a small community at a large university. He estimated that this leads to a five percent increase in graduation rates each year. Sixty-seven percent of freshmen are in these communi-
ties, Diacon said. Diacon himself teaches a first-year experience course that attempts to “de-mystify the university structure.” Kent has also begun to use big data to track student performance. Predictive analytics can allow advisers to alert students who are not performing well in their major courses. These efforts have seen an increase in graduation rates since 2006, when it was 47 percent. OU has a 63 percent graduation rate. At OU, much of the effort to increase class completion, and, by extension, graduating numbers, comes by the efforts of the individual colleges, Wharton said. “We have a lot of small programs that are kind of unique,” Wharton said. Many of the efforts are focused on guiding undecided majors to a desirable career path, Wharton said. “We have a lot of efforts to retain students,” Wharton said. “I don’t think OU is the only one trying that, but we’re doing well at it.” The SSI may be about degrees awarded, but “at the end of the day, it is about student success,” Rogers said.

CONcERT From Page 1 GOVERNOR From Page 1 you don’t morph into a Republican. You stay true to your roots.” She also was a board member of Planned Parenthood of Miami Valley, helping to lead a protest last fall of the budget Kasich signed in June including five restrictions on abortion. She spoke highly of FitzGerald, who is the Cuyahoga County executive and who’s said “is just going to be a hell of a governor.” A former FBI Special Agent, county prosecutor and mayor of Lakewood, FitzGerald will talk policy in depth, she said. “He’s really a government nerd,” Neuhardt said. “He knows what he’s doing.”
Neuhardt’s visit was not without its jabs at Kasich’s record, not the least the negative impact she said he’s had on Ohio middle-class and college students. She pointed out one difference between FitzGerald and Kasich. “Ed FitzGerald will get up every single day thinking, ‘How can I help the average person in Ohio succeed,’” she said. “John Kasich does not think like that.” She and FitzGerald share a philosophy of government, one that she said Kasich does not: “If you value something, you fund it. You put your dollars where your values are,” Neuhardt said. She reiterated this sentiment later in a brief interview with The BG News, addressing the dwindling state funds for higher education.
The University’s budget has seen millions of dollars in cutbacks from state subsidies. Higher education has also seen a hit to government scholarships to students. “[Kasich] doesn’t value higher education ... it’s harder and harder for students to pay for education,” Neuhardt said to The BG News. “Ed and I will work hard to reverse all of these wrongs that have been done.” Kelly Wicks, owner of Grounds for Thought, espoused his coffee shop as a hub for Democratic visitors. Wicks himself ran for Wood County state representative in 2012 and lost to former Wood County Commissioner Tim Brown. “Grounds over the last 25 years has had a lot of great Democratic candidates,” Wicks said. “We try

to find a space for people that we support to come out and share their vision.” O t he r pr e v iou s Democratic guests at Grounds have included Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, U.S. Representative Tim Ryan and Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman. FitzGerald has also been to the coffee shop several times, Wicks said. Present at Grounds during Neuhardt’s visit included Chair of the Wood County Democrats Mike Zickar, and At-Large City Council member Sandy Rowland. Rowland said she was not there to represent city council, but rather, “I’m just here as more of a person,” she said. “I’m interested in knowing what gubernatorial candidates would do regarding funding local government,” she said.

Sharen Neuhardt, Ed FitzGerald’s running mate, talks about what policies they would put in place if elected.
The showcase opened with a skit by The Humanities Troupe, a group of students who create performances on controversial issues such as race, sexual orientation and body image, demonstrating how different types of behavior can have an impact on people. Audience members were able to interact with the skits as Michael Ellison, director and faculty adviser of The Humanities Troupe, encouraged viewers to yell “stop” when the behavior being performed became offensive, which sparked discussion. Following the skits were multiple musical performances by students Eric Juzkiw, James Seliga and Chen Yang. Sophomore Greg Harrison sang “Ordinary People” by John Legend and enjoyed other performances as well. “I think it’s important to celebrate the launch of ‘Not In Our Town’ and to celebrate diversity in general at the University,” he said. “Events like these show people what our University has to offer and what we stand for.”
Many on-campus organizations were present at the showcase to show how their organization promotes diversity, such as the LGBT Resource Center, Veritas Catholic Christian Life Group and the Latino Student Union. The Diversity Showcase is an event that was completely student-run, but that is one of the more admirable aspects, Baker said. “There’s no push from any faculty or department on what direction to take; it’s all what the students want,” she said. “It just shows that without any push, even students can take a stand and show in a peaceful manner what kind of behavior is appropriate, and what isn’t.” Baker collaborated with USG Off-Campus Senator Nic Puccio on how to go about planning such an event. He said the Diversity Showcase is meant to bring a sense of community to the University and celebrate the many different areas of diversity in the community. “Everyone is diverse and sometimes it takes some soulsearching to find what exact aspect of diversity you can identify with,” Puccio said.

Tennis From Page 3 was a lot of orange in the crowd and it’s just such a fun atmosphere. We really appreciate the support and we hope to see a lot of orange in the crowd again tomorrow on Senior Day.” On Saturday, the Falcons defeated Buffalo by a score 5-2 on Senior Day for seniors Nikki Chiricosta and Emily Reuland. BG won all three doubles matches for the second day in a row and the Falcons then went on to win four of the six singles matches. The Falcons’ seniors went 4-0 combined; Nikki Chiricosta won at both singles and doubles against Buffalo. Dean was satisfied with her team efforts and the support they had on Senior Day. “This was a great team win,” Dean said. “Everyone on the roster contributed to this win. It was great to see such a big crowd today. We had some alumni back in town, and we could
really feel the support from the entire crowd all day long.” With this win, the Falcons finished off their home schedule with a perfect 7-0 record which included a 4-0 record against MAC opponents. More importantly, with the victory the Falcons improve to 10-6 overall and 4-2 in MAC play, and BG has clinched a berth in the MAC Championships. “This was a good team win on Senior Day,” Dean said. “Nikki and Emily were determined to win their final home match, and I couldn’t be happier that they combined to go 4-0 today as we won as a team. We will look to keep the momentum going as we head into our matches next weekend.” The Falcons will indeed look to take that momentum they gained from these matches as they will finish up the regular season the road at Ball State on Friday and then at their final game of the regular season at Miami University on Saturday.
Softball From Page 3 The Falcons will look to come out strong and get a lead early and finish the day with a couple victories. The softball team recognizes the importance of these two games. With just 14 games left on the schedule, including the two on Wednesday against Detroit, the Falcons will look to take the rest of the season one game at a time and go into the Mid-American Conference tournament playing well. “Our destiny is in our own hands,” Salsburg said. “We need to worry about us and play our game.”
