Students become candidates

By Holly Shively City Editor Several students are running for Bowling Green city office in the upcoming election, causing both students and community members to talk. Daniel Gordon, a current city council member, was elected to office for the first time during his senior year here at the University while studying political science and philosophy. Gordon ran for council for three reasons. He wanted representation in the city for college-aged individuals, knew he could

connect the city and campus (having leadership experience and being a Bowling Green native) and because “there were people [he] cared about who were suffering a lower quality of life because city government was not actively listening to them,” Gordon said. Gordon also shared that he believes city government is hearing student voices because he has been fighting for them for the last four years. Gordon said, “It is great to see other young people running for office. City government should reflect the diversity of our citizenry — not just in age, but also in

gender, race, class etc. If more people our age would run, and they ran for the right reasons, then we could accomplish so much together.” In the upcoming election, Tom Rodgers will be running against Gordon for the first ward city council seat. Current students running include Lyndon Adanich for second ward city council and Dan Phillips for mayor. Both students and Bowling Green community members have mixed opinions about these students running for city office.

PEOPLEON THESTREET Do you think students should run for city government positions? “Yes, they are just as qualified and they could be tutoring classes on the subject.”

The Adventures of College Students: Move-In COMIC BY CHANLER BROWN

Good Journalism needs support As a senior multiplatform journalism major this year, I have learned many things about this wonderful profession that I am going to, hopefully, call my career someday. Through the University, not only have I learned to be objective in my reporting, but also to articulate my opinion in columns. I have learned that in stories, you write “toward” instead of “towards.” And I am still learning the art of finding sources, persistence and interviewing. Through my peers, I have learned what the media means to different people. To some people, the media is a way of knowing what is going on in the world. To others, the media is a way to manipulate and control citizens. A lot of my peers seem to be under the impression that the media makes some stories bigger than others to divert from real issues happening in our country and our world today. But being on the inside (well, as inside as I can be for a student journalist), I have really seen how heart-wrenching the journalism career can be. While it is true that we have freedom of the press in the United States, it is not the same elsewhere. And as of yesterday, even journalists in America are no longer safe.

Erika Heck Columnist

In Egypt, three journalists for Al Jazeera have had their verdict postponed for the tenth time. In Iran, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian has been in prison for 13 months and they have no intention to release him any time soon. And more recently, in the state of Virginia, two journalists—a reporter and a cameraman—were shot and killed on the air by a former coworker. Regardless of one’s feelings about the media or the way news organizations do things, I think it is important to know and understand that it is sometimes hard out there for a journalist. Day in and day out, they slave over notebooks and laptops to write stories that either get a lot of recognition from the public to stories that get countless social media comments along the lines and phrases of “Who cares?” They spend their days finding sources

and being accurate with information and quotes from people. A journalist’s job can be an easy one sometimes, but more recently in my opinion, it is becoming dangerous for us to be out on the field writing stories. It is getting harder for us to do our job as reporters, whether the enemy forces be another country’s government or a disgruntled employee. As news and media consumers, I encourage you to support journalists--even if you don’t agree with their writings or the news organization they work for. The more violent our world becomes, the more dangerous and trying their job becomes. In a growing world where telling the truth is becoming a crime, I, as a journalist, would love to have support from all kinds of people, whether it be from former or current colleagues, or you the reader. The truth is out there and journalists just want to give it to people—please help make sure they have the support systems and safe places necessary for them to provide that.

Finding truth takes Seek involvement talking it out early in college

I operate under the idea that any discourse is good discourse. Now, let me illustrate and explain. At some point over the summer, there was a “feud” between pop titans Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. Long story short, the ladies exchanged ideas on the representation and celebration of thin women versus thick women in the pop world, specifically the lack of appreciation for dark skinned and “plus-sized” contributors to pop culture. Naturally, people on the internet reacted and you were either on Swift’s side or Minaj’s side. Aside from the emotional reactions there were substance critiques as well. Generally, people concluded that neither of these ladies lived up to their selfproclaimed feminist ideals. They didn’t go about it in the “right” way. But, what does that even mean? Ten years ago, fifty years ago, these kinds of discussions didn’t happen at all, but I think that we can all agree that the issues still existed. We didn’t talk about the homogeneity of female representation. While the beauty standard has undoubtedly changed over time, women were never truly involved past the usage of their imagery. Frankly, this is still the case; however, now we have women who have opinions in positions of power who talk about their perspective. If you ask me, this is the truest source of people’s discomfort: women talking amongst themselves. Feminism does not implicate that women are always correct, more that it is correct to let women speak. Further, it is correct for all to be free to express. It is okay to be reactive. It is okay to be emotional. It is okay to have an opinion. In these kind of cases, there is no right and there is no wrong. This age old condemnation of emo-

tional discourse has got to go. On to my point, let them speak. While we should always be open to new perspectives, not a single person has the right to invalidate another person’s experience with claims to right or wrong. Our freedom of speech should always be protected, and encouraged. Condemning views as right and wrong discourages understanding, and consequentially undermines social progress. When people feel that their views are already considered wrong, they are likely to shut themselves off to any further understanding. Now, there will be no shortage of obstinate people with harmful views, and with what I have said it would seem that this would require the superhuman power of always being the bigger person. Perhaps, but is this such an unworthy goal? And besides, as long as they can spout their views, you can, too, and that is what we call discourse. Ultimately, anything that keeps important issues on the table and talked about is a good thing. As long as there are opposing views, there is something that needs to be worked out, and it is in this case that the decidedly wrong thing to do is to dogmatize the issues. So, the next time you hear about a feud, don’t write it off as just a catfight, or just race baiting, or “just” anything. There is always something more to what someone has to say.

I have a wish for the Class of 2019: that each of you recognizes and embraces your leadership potential and finds a way to be part of something larger than yourself. As your elected representative on Bowling Green City Council since 2012, I know firsthand the difference it makes when young people step up to lead. Even if our efforts are on a small scale, they matter. If you run a student organization, raise money for charity or serve in government, you have the power to change our little corner of the world for the better. Yet, too often we withdraw from such pursuits – we may be apathetic or cynical about our ability to make progress. This is partially because (at least regarding the political process) we often have such poor role models, but that winds up being part of the reason we stop engaging in the world so soon after starting. We need to stop looking for someone else to swoop in and fix the problems we gripe about, and start looking within ourselves. I was able to practice this in July, when I attended the 10th annual convening of the Young Elected Officials Network, a national organization – the first of its kind – built to support elected officials who are between the ages of 18 and 35. At the conference were young elected officials from all 50 states – mayors; members of city councils, school boards, and county commissions; state representatives and senators; and even members of Congress (I was the only YEO from Ohio in attendance.) I learned about people our age from California to Connecticut who are working to eradicate poverty and homelessness, support #BlackLivesMatter and social justice initiatives, push for more humane education and immigration policies and create living-wage jobs. Many of these extraordinary people are still in college. Like our student leaders here in Bowling Green, they are passionate, tireless and committed. I felt right at home. My experience at the Convening was lifechanging. I could write several pages on my reflections. In the meantime, fellow Falcons, learn from them – all those people our age who are doing courageous and good things. Take heart that we too can make a difference, and set an example for our peers. Get more involved in our community, since it will be only as good as we make it. I know too many students who never branched out their first year.

Bowling Green is your home for most, if not all, of the year; let us work to make sure it is in the best shape possible. Support our friends and peers who are leading for change. Their jobs – whether they serve in government, run a campus organization or engage in activism – are demanding and often thankless. So thank them, and ask how you can help. Falcons, I know that if I could just bottle the feeling I had seeing all these leaders and coming to know what they persevered through and overcame, and send that bottle to every young person in our country, I know we would be in such good hands. That spirit we need – let us adopt it here in Bowling Green. Respond to Daniel at thenews@bgnews.com

Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer star in “UnREAL” on Lifetime. The show focuses on the production of a fictionalized reality TV competition and has earned rave reviews.

Lifetime’s latest unauthorized biopic premiered Saturday and focuses on the cast of the 90’s sitcom “Full House.”

TV Network Lifetime’s original programming is steadily improving Jennifer Verzuh Pulse Editor We should start taking Lifetime seriously. Yes, you read that correctly. The television network Lifetime, long the butt of many jokes and seen purely as the home of over sentimental, cheesy, unoriginal and often poorly acted movies and shows aimed towards women and reruns is finally having its moment. A bold statement, but I’m willing to back it up. For one, the network just had one of the best reviewed and popular new original shows of the summer. Their latest offering, “UnREAL” was off the charts good. The scripted series is a look at the behind the scenes drama of a reality television dating series called “Everlasting,” a stand-in for “The Bachelor.” It focuses on the producers of the show and how they manipulate the cast, often in incredibly immoral ways, all for the sake of creating good television. My first thought after seeing the season premiere was that this series was actually too good for Lifetime. But then I realized that

this is exactly the type of show that belongs on the self proclaimed home of “television for women.” Because that’s exactly what this “UnREAL” is, it’s a show created by women, about women and with a female audience in mind. It’s clever, witty, well acted, incredibly watchable and features a complex cast of women, with a female lead that’s far more antihero than hero. The show has already been renewed for a second season, and I have high hopes that the success of “UnREAL” will lead to the development of more original well crafted shows for the network that women can be intrigued and entertained by. As for Lifetime’s actual reality television offerings? With nearly twenty shows going on at the moment, they’re doing pretty well. “Dance Moms,” which recently finished its fifth season is very popular and serves as a great guilty pleasure. It does what all good reality television should (at least in my opinion). It entertains you, draws you into the characters’ world and makes you feel better about yourself as a person and your decisions. The network has also become the

XXXXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XX XXXXX XXX XXXXXXX XXX PAGE XX

home to the Emmy nominated reality prank series “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers,” previously on NBC. A smart choice of Betty White remains as popular as ever. The classic competition series“Project Runaway,” which has been airing on Lifetime since 2009 is also still a favorite with two spinoffs going on as well. Best of all though is the fact that Lifetime has started to become self-aware and is willing to poke fun of themselves. This summer Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell played it incredibly straight in a spoof of Lifetime’s typical trashy melodramas, “The Deadly Adoption.” It’s a direct send up of the movies Lifetime is known for, ridiculing the plot devices and tropes that have become staples of the channel. It’s great to see a network willing to take part in the joke against themselves, and as this film shown, it’s funny too. The network hasn’t stopped there either. They’re in the middle of a string of ridiculous ‘Unauthorized’ biopic films, with “The Unauthorized Full House Story” premiering this week to 1.6 million viewers. It began last year with Lifetime’s “The Unauthorized

Saved By the Bell Story,” which the network saw as a huge success. In October “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Melrose Place” will receive the unauthorized treatment as well. These aren’t great television by any stretch, but like “The Deadly Adoption,” that’s not the point. Lifetime knows these films are silly nostalgia filled pieces tailor made for making fun of and hate watching, and they pander to that. “That’s why people are so interested in watching these movies — poking fun at them,” Lifetime’s senior vice president of original movies Tanya Lopez said in a recent interview in TheWrap. She likens “The Unauthorized Full House Story” to Syfy’s “Sharknado” franchise. “That’s part of the entertainment value. We know what they are,” she said. Look, Lifetime has had a pretty embarassing past. And some of it’s current projects are pretty questionable as well. But they’re trying to change and make better, more clever content, and they are actually making some pretty good progress towards that goal. And I think we should give them some credit for that.

RSA sponsors Casino Night, event a success Organization gives students a chance to gamble and socialize By James Barrows Reporter

Students take part in the RSA’s Casino Night by competeing in various gambling activites to win prizes and socialize.

B O W L I N G

On Tuesday night, hundreds of underaged students gathered to gamble while playing several games. There’s only one catch: They used fake money. They were attending the Resident Student Association’s Casino Night, an event where students can play casino games for fake money and win raffle prizes. University studenty Sam Abrass, who attended the event, thought that the idea was really cute. She was impressed by the amount and variety of tables there, ranging from blackjack, slots and poker to much more. She thought the aspect that benefited

students most came in the form of a raffle, where the Resident Student Association raffled off prizes such as a microwave, box fan, and, of course, a Bowling Green spirit bundle, among other prizes. She really enjoyed the social aspect of the entire event, where everyone had the opportunity to meet new people, and truly get to know them. Also attending the event was student Collin Newton, who also believed that the night was a success. Every single table was filled with students trying their hand at Lady Luck, while others poured coins into the slot machines to try and go for the jackpot. He said, “The greatest benefit to having a night like this is is that it gave those under the legal age of 21 the chance to experience the adult life and gamble to win fake money.” The money in turn can be used in the raffle of prizes. For those unable to attend, he described Casino Night as the gathering of a few hundred students to play games and win prizes.

What is your favorite thing about Bowling Green and why?

Beautiful parks, great restaurants and unique shopping opportunities. Bowling Green has something for everyone!

What advice would you give first-year students?

I encourage you to study hard and embrace the many opportunities available to you at BGSU and in the Bowling Green community.

We have tremendous parks here in BG and there’s something for everyone.

There is always something going on here for everyone. We host large multiday events like BSAF, Wood County Fair and the National Tractor Pulling Championships.

My favorite thing about Bowling Green is its people. I’ve met so many new friends over the years and I feel like I have an extended family here.

My favorite thing about Bowling Green is the balance we have between a small town and urban atmosphere.

Embrace your new community! Be active and engaged in the many opportunities on campus but also be curious about what lies beyond the traditional campus.

Act as if you were in your own town in the presence of your family and friends. Secondly, if you are under 21 and are caught with alcohol there isn’t going to be a warning.

New students should explore the city beyond campus, like the Black Swamp Arts Festival, Grounds for Thought and our fantastic parks.

Find a balance between enjoying your new freedom and responsibly achieving your educational goals. My advice to all students is fully explore the town!

The Falcons in a mid-season match last year. They will face off against Southern Illinois this Friday for their season opener at home.

Men’s Soccer to open season against Southern Illinois By Aaron Parker Sports Editor After a lone loss against the University of Cincinnati during the preseason, the Bowling Green men’s soccer team will open up their season against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Friday. Cincinnati scored a late goal in the second half of the scrimmage against the Falcons to take the game 2-1. “I thought we did some good things. We actually played really good soccer,” head coach Eric Nichols said. “We didn’t do the little things it takes to make sure we have more goals than our opponent. We conceded a couple of softer goals and didn’t take our chances in scoring when we should have.” Going into the game against SIU, the Cougars are on a two game win streak from their preseason campaign. They

ended the preseason 2-1 and scored 5 goals total. They have also given up just one goal on defense throughout the three contests. SIU is one of the better teams on the Falcon’s 19 game schedule, scoring 28 goals and going 4-1-1 in their conference last season. “My expectations are that we will play really well and really hard. SIU is extremely good, they’re one of the best teams we’ll play all season,” Nichols said. “As far as results, it’s hard to say. I do expect that we’ll put in a really solid performance.” A weaker point in the Cougars season last year was the number of goals they gave up to their opponents. Even though they scored 28 goals on the year, they allowed 25 over their 28 games. This is something senior captain Ryan James is hoping to capitalize on. “We have been working a lot on the way

that we attack. It’s about supporting each other,” James said. “If one player has the ball, it’s the little things in how we get that player up the field. Then it’s just our transition game, getting back from attacking to defend really quickly. Hopefully that will show and get us the result we need on Friday.” The Mid-American Conference offices have also released the preseason poll on Wednesday going into the open. The Falcons were picked to finish fourth by the leagues six head coaches. The Akron Zips were picked to repeat their season from a year ago and take the top spot. They were also picked to repeat their win at the MAC Championship. Western Michigan and West Virginia were picked to tie at second. The Falcons will open their season at home on Cochrane Field on Friday at 7.

How the Mud Hens can save their season

Women’s Soccer prepares for Morehead after 2-0 By Evan Hayes Reporter 2000 was the last year the BG Women’s Soccer team started their season 2-0, until this past weekend. With a win over Indiana University’s Purdue University Fort Wayne this past Sunday, the women’s soccer team got off to their hottest start in fifteen years. Excitement is brewing amongst the players and coaches as they head into their upcoming game at Morehead State on Aug. 28. “We’re very excited, we’re excited to compete again,” said sophomore Rachel Winters. “We’ve learned a lot through the past weekend and we’re ready to move forward.” Morehead State has gotten off to a slow start, dropping their first two games. For the Falcons, Friday’s game against Morehead State will provide the team with a chance to work on where they need to improve most after this week-

end, which the transition game. “A big thing we’ve been working on is transitioning, so we had success with that over the weekend, creating opportunities in the attack,” said redshirt freshman Erica Hubert. “So we’ll focus on staying disciplined defensively and taking risks up top.” With all of the excitement and fanfare that has come with their hot start, head coach Lindsay Basalyga and her staff have made sure that their team continues to work hard with sustained excellence in mind. “We kind of told them, when they walked away from Sunday’s game, to enjoy this moment because if we look at the past, you can see we haven’t had as much success,” said Basalyga. “So I wanted them to enjoy it, lock it in and remember what it feels like, but then as soon as they woke up Monday morning they had to move on, because we are definitely on a long journey of

a season.” Bowling Green has become very young this season. Despite returning ten starters, they have added eleven freshmen. While getting new players acclimated to the program and system run by Basalyga has its challenges, the coach has preached learning from their previous games in order to achieve a body of work to be proud of at the end of the season. “Our focus is just building on this past weekend,” said Basalyga. “There’s some key elements we’re focusing on tactically that we still need to get better at heading into Friday night, just our transition from defending to attacking needs to be a little bit cleaner and a little bit sharper, so that’s been a focus over the last two practices.” Hubert has been instrumental to the success that Bowling Green has achieved, recording two goals, one assist, and leading the team with five points.

The Toledo Mud Hens are going through their eighth straight season without making the playoffs. Fortunately, their parent team, Detroit Tigers, seem determined to turn things around. The team has stated they want to put more money into their minor league affiliates. However, deter minat ion alone isn’t enough. To put the Mud Hens back on top, they’ll need to make all the right decisions about what players to put on the field, and what manager to put in the dugout. Although we as fans don’t have the inside information to see what specific players the Tigers will place on the Mud Hens roster, we can use statistics to deduce what type of player they should bring in to win more games. The main aspect of the Mud Hens that needs real improvement is the pitching. The team does a nice job of producing runs (in fact, they are actually in the top five in the International League in RBI’s), but their pitching certainly offsets the numbers there. The Mud Hens are highest in runs allowed by 80 runs (640), earned runs by 84 (585), walks by 25 (474) and second-highest in hits allowed with 1,115. Obviously, the most frightening statistic is the vast amount of earned runs allowed compared to the other teams in the league. Where the Tigers should start looking is to their starting pitchers in their Class AA affiliate Erie Sea Wolves. It wouldn’t hurt to look at the free agent market either.

Zane Miller Reporter

They should take a look at the number of quality starts they have first, which means the number of games that a starter has pitched at least six innings allowing only three earned runs or less. With the relatively solid run support provided by the Mud Hens batters, these pitchers should flourish if they were to be brought into Toledo. If this issue is resolved, they should have a much more competitive season in 2016. The other serious concern regarding Mud Hen pitching is the number of walks given to opposing batters. This is where a good scouting department comes in handy. They have the ability to scope out pitchers who have good control of their pitches, as well as those who don’t get flustered under pressure and nibble around the strike zone. This quality is especially important for relief pitchers, where walks are even more haunting in late game situations. It may not seem like much, but it could be the difference between winning and losing a few games. These problems are the ones that the Tigers should be allocating the most money to fix their struggling Triple-A farm team. Resolving these issues should bring the Toledo Mud Hens one step closer to a playoff run.

NEWS Continued from Page 2 Visual Communications Technology major Alex Stroh is in favor of students running for city office because “the kids from this university know the city better than anybody.” In slight disagreement, Junior Laquisha Pearl said, “it would depend on how old the students are that are running because a lot of the people that end up running for city council have to have some kind of experience with running a city. So, I think sometimes students can be kind of behind on that… They know the wants of the BGSU community, but not necessarily the outside community.” Political science Junior Aaron Menapace said, “I think students running for anything shows that we as a younger generation care, and if young people such as myself or others did not run for local offices, there would

AUGUST 27, 2015 | PAGE 17

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU never be anyone new to continue such a historical heritage that is holding an elected office.” Menapace went on to say, “High up elected positions like mayor need to have some prior elected office experience. When I say elected experience, I’m not talking about being the president of an organization on campus such as IFC…Council, is a fantastic way to start a career in politics, and work up towards mayor.” Community member and financial advisor D.J. Dieter said, “I think that it’s good that [students] get involved with the community. I think that they should have a voice here as well.” Agreeing with Deiter, community member Gary Thurman said, “Anyone who has the credentials should run, no matter what position it’s in.” “I think they deserve a shot just like any member,” said Suzanna Eberly, retail man-

ager and small business owner. “Anyone who runs for any position is going to have their own viewpoints that they’re going to share just like anybody else. The community members have a choice to believe in the viewpoints of anybody that runs for position.” Others are more doubtful of the abilities of students to make decisions for the city. Rich Douglas, a community member and previous economic professor at the University, said, “The interests of the community and the interests of the students at the University are somewhat related, but sometimes they’re not.” “Certainly it’s fine to run if you want. Anybody can run, but I would be inclined to vote for a member of the community,” said Douglas. After sharing that he knows and supports both non-student candidates for mayor, Douglas said, “The odds of me voting for a student are probably the same as the odds of me voting for Donald Trump.”

Greek houses make steady progress Construction to continue through the next academic year By Alyssa Alfano Copy Chief It is no secret that the University has undergone the process of rebuilding the Greek houses on campus.

Construction worker works on Greek housing project off of Wooster St.

Fraternities and sororities were not able to live in the houses during the 2014-2015 academic school year, and the houses were torn down in the spring of 2015. Construction on the new houses started shortly after they were torn down in the spring and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slowed down since. The project has come a long way since then and is currently on

schedule to be finished during the summer of 2016. The project will end up using the equivalent of 500 concrete loads, and 50 tons of reinforcing steel, according to the BGSU website Mike Schuessler, senior project manager at the University, said that there will be 10 town homes with 426 beds that will be occupied by 33 chapters on campus. In the end, there will be 173 toilets in the new homes, according to the BGSU website. The underground utilities for the homes have already been installed on the site. Currently, framing is being done for four of the 10 Greek homes so far. Schuessler said that the buildings should be enclosed by January of

CAMPUSBRIEF Students from the graduating class of 2019 have been flooding the University to begin their college careers. This year’s freshman class is expected to be larger than in past years, said Cecilia Castellano, the director of admissions for the University. She said that this year’s freshman class is estimated to have about a 10 percent increase from last year’s class. She expects roughly 3350 freshmen to further their education at the University this upcoming year. According to the Institutional Research Department’s Spring 2015 Headcount, 2762 freshmen were enrolled for the Spring semester of 2015 on Main Campus. Of the estimated 3350 freshmen in the graduating class of 2019, around 85 percent come from within the state of Ohio, and 15 percent are out-of-state students. Once these new students begin classes this Monday, Castellano expects the academic quality of the incoming freshman class to be among the continuing highest quality for the third year in a row.

Despite the fact that the houses will be only two floors, each chapter will have an elevator to make both floors elevator accessible, according to Schuessler. Also, Schuessler said that the builders are using pre-fabricated panels to build the walls of the houses. This is when the panels for the walls are built off site and then brought to work site and put up. This saves the University some money and it also saves a lot of time as the prefabricated panels are much quicker for the

builders to put up. Because of this, these panels can help move the building process move along faster. Schuessler said that something else that will be happening soon will be that the exterior brick masonry will be put on the buildings. More progress is planned to get done for the project by the summer. The progress can be seen from Wooster Street and from the surrounding areas on campus. Students involved in Greek life will be set to move in sometime during the summer of 2016. Sororities and fraternities will no longer have to be in the dorms, and will be back to having their own houses.
