aids student organizations By Chelsea Schroeder Reporter University departments and organizations have an opportunity to fundraise to offset costs through Falcon Funded, the University’s new crowdfunding platform. The Falcon Funded program is under the umbrella of University Advancement, which includes the office of Advancement Services, the BGSU Alumni Association and BGSU Foundation, Inc. According to information provided by University Advancement, the platform utilizes crowdfunding, a fund-raising tool designed to fund a project or venture by raising money from a large number of people, typically through the internet. Assistant Director of Annual Giving Jordan Cravens said in an email that “any of BGSU’s colleges, departments, divisions, student groups and faculty/ staff are eligible to have their project ‘Falcon Funded.’” So far, four student organizations have been involved with Falcon Funded, as well as multiple alumni organizations. The platform’s website informs readers that Falcon Funded has funded organizations and projects such as BG alternative breaks, supporting student athletes, BGSU Respiratory Care Students and the BGSU Falcon Flight Team. Many alumni organizations are also working in correlation with the program through the Battle of the Decades fundraising project. In Battle of the Decades, past classes from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010 to the present all compete to achieve the highest amount of donations. Currently, only the Falcon Flight Team has successfully funded their project. Current President of the Falcon Flight
Team Brian Helscel said, “We needed money to pay for practice flight time and various other supplies that we needed in order to be able to compete in the NIFA Regional Competition this past week.” “We were lucky enough to be chosen by the University last spring to be a guinea pig for the Falcon Funded program,” Helscel said. “We were seen as a shovel ready organization and it benefited us tremendously.” The campaign will continue to benefit the Flight Team even though it has finished, he said. “Falcon Funded helped get the ball rolling because we still have some money left over from the Falcon Funded campaign to jump start our practices for next year,” he said. All projects submitted are considered by the Falcon Funded Review Committee and must align with the University’s priorities. Cravens said, “Money raised through a Fa lcon Funded crowdf unding project is held within a BGSU Foundation account. With appropriate documentation and by following established procedures, student groups are able to have these funds released in a timely manner. Funds must be used in a charitable way to benefit BGSU.” When asked what future plans the Falcon Flight Team has with the money raised, Helscel responded with, “The Falcon Flight Team would like to make it to the national competition next year. It is not cheap as we have to pay for flight time and various other costs such as hotel and travel to and from the events.” Even campaigns that are not as successful as the Falcon Flight Team’s can still

Use education as force for good
As of the last fifty years—and especially the past ten—the United States has seemed like a fearsome thing, and having been born in the belly of the beast, I am well aware of all of the faults. And plenty would be an understatement. But I am going to tell you why we shouldn’t tremble in the face of and run from the bad, one-star-out-of-five reality show that America has become. I am only a sophomore in college, and have all of the interest in politics that I would in a piece of dirt. But about which I do know, I am very decided. And while I don’t understand the inner workings of the government (simply because I’m torn between believing that there aren’t any and that everything is at face value or that what the public is hearing is all a sham), I know that most of the upcoming presidential candidates have less suitability for the office than my pet fish does. A massive wall built along the border, as if the immigrants or the citizens born in America are trapped, stupid monkeys that let it go up.

And Kanye West, a self-proclaimed god lowering himself to the position of watching over millions upon millions of peasants? I’ll remind you of the reality show, or on the worst days, a soap opera. But there are ways to feel positive about this circus—one that’s being torn to bits by stampeding elephants—of a country. And these ways don’t include being positive about moving. As college students and professors, we are a minority in a generally uneducated world. We have a gift, which involves having ready access to news about our advantages and privileges. Some of us will even become the voice that broadcasts this news and others the ability to be the news. We have the capability to be progressive,
to move this country out of its seemingly permanent slump. And yet the majority of us waste this opportunity, instead choosing to complain about our parents (who just need to get off our backs already, right?), smoking any newly legalized drug or drinking at frat parties. Rather than curse ourselves to lives of indolent pleasure, we should be spending these short four years gaining experience so that we, the knowledgeable people who put blood and sweat into our degrees, can put a stop to people like Kanye West, who did nothing to receive an honorary degree. Go to class and pay attention to your professors. Even the most unlikable ones have something of importance to tell you. Volunteer, work on campus, travel abroad and bring some of the ways of successful cultures back to America, get an internship—the options are endless. Be the future that you want for America. We can only go up from here. Respond to Abbey at thenews@bgnews.com
Meaning lost in comfort zone I was late to the Taylor Swift fandom. I dabbled in her early music, but wasn’t a true fan until the release of her album 1989. As a musician, Swift is undeniably talented, and while I can “Shake It Off” with the best of them, there is one qualm I have with her message: haters gonna hate is a problematic statement. I don’t think it started out that way, and it certainly didn’t start with Swift herself. Rather, she latched on to a fun-loving phrase encouraging people to brush off

by no means Swift’s fault- she was nothing more than a vehicle. Regardless of origins, there is little doubt in my head that a large portion of those who use the phrase on a regular basis are using it to defend their problematic statements and actions, rather than reflecting in on themselves to examine their motives. Certainly the most common offenders are those with too much pride.

Combating myths about the LDS Church I was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. While I no longer practice in the faith, there are many ways in which my relationship with this church has effected my life. For one, I am still an avid defender of it and its people, among them being my still in practice family. I mean that I do see myself as having a duty to correct false conceptions of the church. A favorite among those curious is the existence of “magic-underwear.” What people are referring to is what those of the faith call garments. They are meant to be symbolic of certain covenants in which some members of the church choose to enter with God, namely promises of chastity and modestly in dress and manner. The use of the word “magic” in ever describing an aspect of a person of faith’s beliefs serves only to demean and invalidate them, especially when the criticism comes from people of contrasting faiths. The intention of faithful members is to keep their relationship with God as close to them physically as possible, and garments are a manifestation of this faith. Another is the question of Mormons someday being about to have their own planets. While there is certainly an aspect of this in the doctrine of the church, the typical phrasing and consummate understanding of this curiosity misses a lot of subtlety in the ideology. The doctrine that is foundational in this aspect of the faith is too complex for my space here, but I will say what I can. There exists the teaching of the Plan of Salvation, in which our existence before and after earth is detailed. To skip to the end, after the judgement day, the culminate of
Continued from Page 3 It is much easier to say, “Oh, you don’t like my opinion? Well haters gonna hate!” than to admit that you may be wrong. Even though being introspective and admitting faults is difficult, it’s an admirable trait. Using this phrase is a fool-proof, yet poorly constructed argument to avoid any and all criticism, but having some criticism in your life is to be expected and can even be healthy. Criticism forces you

the population will be sorted into three kingdoms. The members of the church, baptized in their lifetime or post-mortem (my next address), who have been married to their spouse through the rites of God’s temple and maintained a certain relationship with God and Jesus Christ (notably separate entities) will be those sorted into God’s highest kingdom what is called the Celestial Kingdom. It is in this realm that those married can be with their families forever and begin their next existence, which may include having their own realms in which to be wards. The doctrine is not specific exactly what this means, and many members are satisfied to see what its like when they get there. Something I remember hearing as a youth was that, “as we are now, God once was.” The doctrine does not go any further than this however. Indeed, the implications are innumerable and frankly fascinating. The final idea that is heard among those curious about the church is the idea of post-mortem baptism, or baptism’s for the dead as it is often called. This idea is simple enough. It is meant to reconcile the idea that millions of people from the past that never had the chance to hear the word of God and Christ will never have an opportunity to partake in the blessings that are to come before the judgement day. So, the church, via the power of their priesthood, does much work to recover
to step outside your comfort zone and see your actions and the actions of others in a new way. It allows you to strengthen your integrity and examine your opinions, to better form reasonable ones. Avoiding criticism can leave you complacent. There are very few times when using the phrase “haters gonna hate” and “shaking it off” are excusable. These include times when criticism is irrelevant or is not constructive. When you know that the criticism is meant to be harmful,
names from history and baptize members in their name. Definitely the most asked question is that of polygamy. Why was this ever allowed? My first response is that it is important not to impose modern day condemnation on the actions of humans of the past. In this case, LDS leadership at the height if persecution of its members in the mid 1800s were faced with a significant death toll of its male members, often leaving behind family, chief ly leaving women who at the time could not own property. In efforts to maintain their familial possessions, the church reinstated polygamy so that the new husbands could receive the property and keep it for the widowed family. This, in my view, removes the burden of the church to excuse an ageold practice that was instituted to help its most vulnerable members. This practice has since been abolished. However, in church doctrine today, in the temple men can still be married for eternity, also called sealing, to more than one female spouse. Importantly, this is distinct from mortal polygamy as the church no longer sanctions a man being married to more than one woman at a time in life here on earth. The best way I can think to explain this is through my own example. My mother died unmarried and unsealed, or unmarried to anyone for eternit y. Given the blessings that are to come for those that are in fact sealed, like the ones in the paragraphs above, my father took it on himself to seal himself to my mot her, even t hough he was a lready sealed to his wife, the mother of my step-siblings. Condemn t his practice if you wish, but I sincerely view this as an act of compassion on my father
I encourage you to avoid it. Further examining Swift’s lyrics, we can tell this is the kind of criticism she sings about, but somewhere along the line it got out of hand. If we as a society cannot return to this idea I hope that “haters gonna hate” goes the same route as “yolo” and just dies. Respond to Taylor at thenews@bgnews.com

On the face of things, I can see how these different notions of Christianity can be startling to some, but I think simply taking the time to understand the doctrine can help one understand the intentions of those who believe it.

Falcons defeat Buffalo for their first win in the Mid-American Conference
UPCOMINGGAMES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6 Womens Golf: @Rocket Classic | All Day Mens Golf: @Cleveland State Invitational | All Day
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7 By Aaron Parker Sports Editor In both teams’ Mid-American Conference home openers, the Bowling Green football team was able to hold off a late Buffalo surge to get a win in New York this past weekend. The Falcons moved up to 3-2 overall while Buffalo went down to 2-3. Bowling Green went into the fourth quarter up 21-9 after denying the Bulls a touchdown through the first three quarters. Bulls kicker Adam Mitcheson scored all of Buffalo’s first nine through field goal drives. On the first play of the fourth quarter, junior receiver Ronnie Moore took the ball to the end zone on a seven-yard reverse to put the Falcons up 28-9. While Buffalo struggled to end drives with touchdowns for the majority of the game, they went on to score in the end zone twice in the fourth to close the gap 28-22. The Falcons held the game to that score, ending the game in win formation in Buffalo territory. Even though Buffalo was only able to score two touchdowns, their offense was still somewhat effective. It was the Bowling Green defense that made the stops
while in the red zone. The Bulls moved the ball 50 or more yards on seven of their drives. The first four of those drives ended with the three field goals and an interception in the end zone. Even on the Bulls first touchdown in the fourth, it took all four downs to break the plane from the one yard line. Quarterback Matt Johnson completed 23 of his 29 pass attempts and threw for 324 yards. His attempts were 15 fewer than any other game this season and it is the first game this year that

In contrast, it was also Johnson’s most efficient game of the season with a 79.3 percent completion rate. “For the defense to pick up where we were struggling was huge for us,” Johnson said. “They kept us in the game and ultimately really won us the game.” Sophomore receiver Roger Lewis also had a significant impact on the game, catching 10 passes for a touchdown and 201 yards. That was his third time in the past week breaking 200 yards. He is the first receiver in program history to

have three 200-yard receiving games during his career and it has only taken him four games with Johnson to do so. “I thought that those two young men did a nice job,” head coach Dino Babers said. “I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get more balls to him in the second half. They made the adjustment and brought their best corner on Roger. We’re trying to win the game so we worked the other side.” Lewis earned MAC East Player of the Week honors for his performance. Senior running back Travis Greene saw more touches this game, rushing 17 times for a season high 119 yards. That was the 15th 100-yard game of his career. “I just need to be consistent,” Greene said. “I think big plays will come if I just stay focused and make the plays when they come to me.” The Falcons will return to the Doyt on Saturday when they compete against conference opponent Massachusetts.

Bowling Green womens soccer team huddles during a match. The Falcons are now 2-2 in the MAC with a win over Buffalo.
Late goal gives Falcons a win
By Evan Hayes Sports Reporter The Bowling Green womens soccer team won this past Sunday, finishing off a successful weekend at home that saw them win two consecutive conference matches. The Falcons picked up the 2-1 win over Buffalo after Erica Hubert’s shot found the back of the net with only a minute left to play. Falling twice last weekend in their two opening matches of conference play, the young BG team struggled with confidence and lacked the mentality it took to win. However, the win against Buffalo, the defending conference champions, is sure to give them a boost in that regard moving forward. “Buffalo put us under a lot of pressure, but we capitalized on our moments and our players did not give up on the game,” head coach Lindsay Basalyga said. “The fact that we walked away with a win with a minute left against the defending MAC champs, it’s safe to say we are walking away with a little more confidence than we came in with.” The opening period of the game was evenly played between both teams, with BG holding an 8-6 advantage in the shot column. The Falcons started attacking early on offense, with Skylar Fleak’s header missing wide left during the 1st minute. Hubert beat the Buffalo defense at the 9th minute to get a one-on-one opportunity with the Bulls’ Laura Dougall, but the goalkeeper saved the shot attempt.
BG got off four shot attempts between the 12th and 15th minutes, as Mikaela Couch, Madison Schupbach and Paige Amodio all took shots. Buffalo found their offensive rhythm halfway through the period, getting off four attempts of their own while pressuring the BG backline. However, the backline held strong and was able to keep the game scoreless with help from goalkeeper Lauren Cadel, who had two saves in the half. Buffalo came out strong in the second half by pressuring the BG backline and Cadel within the first two minutes. Bulls’ player Carissima Cutrona fired off two shots during that span. Her first shot appeared to be headed to the back of the net, but Cadel spun around and laid out to knock the shot away with her fingers before the ball crossed the goal line. The Falcons got on the board first during the second half, with Kara Ross scoring from the left side of the box on an assist by Fleak to make the score 1-0 at the 49th minute. Buffalo proceeded to attack BG, taking eleven shots over the next 18 minutes of play and finally scoring at the 79th minute when Carissima scored from 18 yards out to even the score 1-1. The game looked to be heading into overtime as the clock ticked down, until Ross found Hubert streaking toward the goal at the 89th minute. Hubert, trailed by a defender, took a high arching shot from outside the box just as Dougall charged her. The shot sailed over the goalkeeper’s head
and rolled into the net to win the game for BG 2-1 in front of a cheering home crowd. Cadel has been consistent in goal this year for the Falcons, recording 67 saves with a .827 save percentage and 1.24 goals against average. She was named the MAC Co-Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this year this past Monday and is now finally being supported by a backline that can help turn her excellent efforts into wins. “Lauren has been so sharp,” Basalyga said. “We are finally seeing a back line that is grinding to help her and reward her. Earlier in the season I think she was coming up with big saves, but we weren’t rewarding her work. She makes game-winning saves to keep us in games so she has been fantastic.” The win boosts the Falcons confidence as it shows them moving forward that they can compete on a championship tem level. That confidence should help carry them this upcoming weekend, when they travel for two away conference matchups. “We just have to keep competing this week in practice,” Cadel said. “This goes to show what not giving up on a game can do for you, so just continuing on with that throughout the week and we’ll be good to go for Friday.” The Falcons will be in action this Friday at 7 pm away at Toledo and will then travel to Central Michigan for a match on October 11.
The Bowling Green Falcons men’s soccer team lost the first Mid-American Conference game of the season 1-0 in overtime to the Northern Illinois Huskies. “I think we defended pretty well,” Head coach Eric Nichols said. “But we’ve got to get goals.” The game winning goal was scored by Northern Illinois sophomore midfielder Giovanni Garcia at the 96:39 mark, his second goal of the season. “We just had a bad clearance in the back,” freshman defender Moe Mustafa said. “They countered, no one stepped, they had a shot and I guess our keeper just mis-hit it. It hit the bar and went down.” The Falcons got a total of 12 shots, with four on goal, while Northern Illinois had 16 shots with seven going toward the net. “16 shots is probably about normal,” Nichols said about the opposition shot totals. “The bigger problem is on our end, we need to create more on frame.” The score was knotted up 0-0 for the majority of the game before game winner was scored. “We didn’t have that many shots,” Mustafa said. “We’ve just got to work at getting our chances and moving the ball, if we can do all that, then we’re going to score.” Both teams also played more aggressively on defense, as the Falcons and Northern Illinois each had season record tying numbers in yellow cards, with two and three, respectively. “We did a good job defensively, we kept them shut out for more than 90 minutes,” Sophomore defender Alexis Souahy said. “Unfortunately, it was only about five or six minutes later when they scored.” The coaches were also satisfied with the defensive play by the team. “A shutout over 90 something minutes, we’ll take that.” Nichols said. The Falcons now have the first MAC game of the season under their belt, as the team looks to improve on their 2-2-1 record in intra-conference matches last season. “It was pretty exciting to be in my first joint game, especially in the MAC,” Souahy said. “I’m looking forward to playing even more games.” This was also the first overtime game of the season for the Falcons, after having a 5-1-1 record in matches requiring overtime last season. “They’re a good team,” Nichols said of Northern Illinois. “They’ve played a great schedule, they’ve had some good results, they were 5-2, now they’re 6-2 and it’s a MAC team. All these MAC games are going to be close.”

Revisions to academic honesty policy, tobacco-free campus dicussed at USG By Alyssa Alfano Copy Chief At Monday’s Undergraduate Student Government meeting, the Academic Honesty Policy and the Ohio Student Government Association were discussed. The Actademic Honesty Policy outlines what is considered cheating or plagerism by the University. The complete policy can be found on the University’s website. This policy states what would be considered to be academic dishonesty as well as what would happen if a case of academic dishonesty were to occur. This was brought up during the meeting because members of USG came together with members of Faculty Senate to give suggestions of what they would like to see included with the policy.
USG also gets to sit in on Faculty Senate meetings, as Faculty Senate has representatives from all different organizations on campus, including USG, the Graduate Student Government, and each academic college on campus. This can aid faculty in becoming aware of what students are thinking. Two suggestions brought up were providing mentors for those who want to file an appeal for infractions of the policy and making appeals more of an appeal by a jury The purpose of this policy would be to educate students who have committed academic dishonesty to prevent further infractions, as well as to prevent academic dishonesty from happening in the first place. Members of USG members also spoke
with members of the Ohio Student Government Association about the idea of being a tobacco-free campus. Victor Senn, USG president, said that members of USG discussed with other universities the possiblity of the University becoming tobacco-free. USG hoped to gain feedback and advice to use throughout the process of making our campus tobacco free. They asked other universities how the process of becoming tobacco-free worked for them, how they passed the initiative, how it was implemented on campus, and what challenges were faced, among other things. Senn said that it was very important for USG to be involved in these discussions because they get to play a big role in the decision to make, or not to make, the University’s campus tobacco-free.

Cravens said, “Unlike some other crowdfunding sites, BGSU’s Falcon Funded platform allows student groups to retain all funds raised, even if the group falls short of its goal.” The program is administered by University Advancement using the ScaleFunder platform. “University Advancement sends proper tax receipts to donors and ensures donors feel great about their donation to BGSU that directly benefits our students,” said Cravens. Cravens concluded, “Through a collaborative partnership with University Advancement and Student Affairs, we hope that Falcon Funded can provide another funding tool for student organizations to use as they continue to thrive on campus and create opportunities for students to enhance their BGSU experience.” All selected projects and submissions for future projects are listed on the platform’s website, falconfunded.bgsu.edu.

The council came to the conclusion to move forward with the Task Force’s design concept and continue discussion of a new municipal building. University Students were also recognized by Mayor Edwards. During his report, he announced the official representation placement to the City-University Relations Commission. Kaci Abolt and Michael Oiler will represent graduate students and Richard Racette and Peter Hernandez will represent undergraduate students. Edwards also recognized October as
National Disability Employment Awareness Month. He thanked Melanie Stretchbery, Superintendent of Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities (Wood Lane), for her work and dedication. Wood Lane is well known across Ohio, reaching back to 1995. He also thanked Ryan Sanner, Public Relations Assistant, for developing the proclamation that Edwards read to city council and attendees The proclamation, as Edwards read, said, “a workplace welcoming of the talents of all people, including people of disabilities, are a critical part of our efforts to build an inclusive community and a strong economy.”
