Richard Edwards, the newly re-elected mayor, spoke at the BGSU mayoral debate.
Richard Edwards was re-elected for his second term as Bowling Green Mayor Tuesday, Nov. 3 by 554 votes. “I’m a great believer in collaboration. I believe it’s a hallmark as my efforts as mayor,” Edwards said after his win was unofficially announced. “I’m not a very political person at all, I (simply) like things to move forward, and we have to work together.” Edwards said his plan now is “to continue our strong industrial growth cycle.” “We’ve had an amazing amount of success over the past four years of economic development. Our fiscal stability has become very,very important to this city,” he said. A focus for him during his next term will be the land use plan. “It’s the first time since 1987 that (we’ve had) it updated,” he said. “It’s important that we now move ahead with

Local business owner Kelly Wicks lost the election with 3,010 votes to Edwards’ 3,564. “I don’t t hink we as a communit y could have done any thing better to tr y and make a change,” Wicks said during a concession speech.

PEOPLEON THESTREET What are your thoughts on the rejection of marijuana legalization?
Adventures of a College Student: Class Scheduling COMIC BY CHANLER BROWN
Whites, fair trial, blacks, execution Last Monday, Oct. 26th, a video surfaced on the internet depicting a large white man approaching a black girl while she was sitting in a classroom desk. The man wrapped a burly arm around her neck and slammed her to the ground while her legs were still entwined in the desk. Then, he picked her up from the ground and forcibly threw her a considerable distance and pinned her down. The video of the assault is absolutely sickening - a large adult male rag-dolling an undersized adolescent female. Now, over a week after the incident, more details have come to light. The beating took place at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, S.C. The man, a senior deputy in the Richland County Sherriff’s Department, was assigned to Spring Valley as a school officer. He has been accused of racial profiling in the past, and it is likely that this is not the first case of this type of behavior at Spring Valley– it’s just the first one to reach the public eye. Not surprisingly, the footage made the evening news. Anchor Wolf Blitzer questioned a panel of individuals and asked if the officer’s actions were justifiable. Don Lemon, a journalist and CNN anchor, puffed and fumbled quietly before arriving at his conclusion: “This only shows a small slice in time of what happened. I’d like to know more before passing judgment. We don’t know what happened. You weren’t

Deanna Huffman Columnist sitting in the room. You don’t know if she wasn’t standing up!” Soon, it became obvious what was transpiring in the newsroom. A violent altercation was caught on video, but all Lemon could do was look for a reason to blame the child and victim of the attack, rather than the police officer who slammed her to the floor. Not to mention, the officer, known as “The Incredible Hulk” and “Officer Slam,” is reportedly a power lifter. Probable cause or not, a trained police officer of that physical caliber was dealing with an unarmed student who posed no physical threat and the violence was unwarranted. Richland County Sherriff Leon Lott, however, sees things differently. He recently addressed the media and said, “If she had not disrupted that school, disrupted that class, we would not be standing here today.” Now, I realize that aside from the video evidence, everything is a biased, one-sided account of the story. But as a sociology minor, I am also well aware of the fact that black people are, and have historically been, viewed as innately

criminal. Even during the Civil War, blacks who tried to escape from the grasps of enslavement were thought to be thieves, wrongfully taking their own bodies from someone else. And today, there is a huge statistical disparity among black and white students in America. For example, black students of all ages are suspended at over three times the rate as white students, and black girls are suspended six times more frequently than white girls. People of color are also six times more likely to wind up in jail than those who are not and they are typically sentenced for longer periods and/ or put to death at much higher rates than whites who commit the same crimes. This might sound like a load of statistical jargon, but the numbers don’t lie. Our current penal system is not a model for rehabilitation so much as it strives to remove offenders from society all together-particularly when police officers take matters into their own hands.

Public security, only justifiable taxation In my last column, I advised, as a means against taxation, to ask important questions to identify and clarify possible wasteful or needless spending. I advised this as a first step, or sorts, to decrease the need for taxes. The obvious next step is to cut those wasteful spending habits. Cut everything possible. Unfortunately, there will still be spending we cannot cut eventually. Even I, in my cold logic-driven anarchic heart, cannot deny a need for certain government programs. And in the very face of my column on the immorality of taxation, I say this: it’s necessary. To a point. A government and taxation are indeed needed in the name of society. Society runs best with cooperation. Markets provide means in which to cooperate through the incentives found in trade. Markets cannot exist unless property rights (all rights, really) are protected. Individuals can simply protect their own rights. But could you imagine how time consuming that would be? Imagine what little you could get done if every few days you had to defend your house from people trying to take it from you. Not to apply too
Bryan Eberly Columnist slippery a slope, but eventually, markets and society would crumble in such a situation. Hence the need for a third party to provide protection. The anarchist in me is demanding I provide a case in favor of private security for this reason. But I can’t. A private security firm has one big disadvantage to it. Its privacy. And with that privacy, the inability of people outside the firm to regulate and witness the firm’s most necessary tool in its job of security: violence. There cannot be competing firms utilizing violence in the name of defense. What would the equilibrium be? How would it be met? Let your imagination run wild. Just this once, I will allow you to be guided by fear. Because there is no answer to those questions that are optimal nor ideal. Security must therefore be public. Where everyone can see it, everyone can regulate it, and everyone can change it or demand change from it. Government is the best way

Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown and Sandra Bland, among others, were all recently executed after exhibiting some form of deviant behavior to the authorities. Compare their tragic stories to that of James Eagan Holmes, the gunman who killed 12 people in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado in 2012 and who was also taken (quite alive), tried and convicted in a court of law. How about Dylann Roof, the gunman who was responsible for the Charleston church shooting earlier this year, and the man who claimed the lives of nine churchgoers? Officers threw him in the back of a squad car and then bought him Burger King. As for the officer in question, he will wear a suit and tie to court and receive a fair trial by jury. How judicious.

to fulfill the need for a third party protector. Government is best to provide a police force to protect from internal threats. Government is best to provide a military to protect from external threats. And government is best to provide courts to protect from threats and disputes between individuals through contracting. In a nutshell, that is all I expect the government to do: provide police, a military and courts. Everything else is superfluous and can best be handled through the market. A government should not be a producer, a nanny, a charity or a church. Just a protector and defender. But now that I’ve begrudgingly admitted this, I am assured that the need for taxation is greatly minimized when the role of government is shrunk down to such a basic triad. And, arguably, the burden of taxation would be much less. From here, my solution becomes a game of marketing. If the tax burden is small, and if the needs for the taxes are great, then it is much easier to ask for taxes from the people the government serves. It is no longer a question of greedy demanding
at gun point. No longer, ideally, is there a need to fight about where extorted money should be spent. Taxation becomes a matter of advertising. Instead of framing taxation as a civic duty that must be enforced, it can be framed as just a really swell thing to do. “Gee, citizen, don’t you love how you’re not being robbed every day, or how you’re not being invaded by ISIS? Help us continue this great thing by sending us 9 percent of your paychecks!” Tongue-in-cheek but still gets my point across. Taxation can become voluntary, and the citizens served can be influenced to appreciate and encourage taxation. Not to mention grants, bonds, fundraising, etc. All it requires is stripping away the waste in taxation, shrinking government to its most basic necessities, and decreasing the burdens on individual citizens. So, that is my solution to the problems of taxation. If I am at all being too simplistic (hint: I am), and if you have a counterargument, please respond. Let’s discuss this stuff! Let’s effect change! Respond to Bryan at thenews@bgnews.com

Amid controversy and criticism, the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity used the backlash surrounding their “going homeless” project as a springboard to improve their philanthropic causes. Madison Georgoff, a recent graduate of the University, wrote a blog post titled “Begging for CHANGE” and said she did not approve of ATO’s strategies to raise awareness. “ATO Goes Homeless” is an annual fundraiser put on by Alpha Tau Omega in which the fraternity members camp out in cardboard boxes and tents in front of the Union Interfraternal Council President Greg Robison said, “They’re out there for a week I believe…they raise awareness and they raise money.” All the money raised from the event goes to a local food bank, but Georgoff criticized ATO and wrote that she was “offended by the lack of empathy, education, and respect these men are portraying on a college campus.” Georgoff works with homeless families and was discouraged by the way homelessness was being portrayed by ATO. “I was deeply offended by the way that this organization’s philanthropy capitalized on a specific image of poverty in order to make them look like good, charitable students” wrote Georgoff.
Robison said the fraternity was hesitant to respond to the criticism and didn’t know how to react. “I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion,” said Robison. “It was our job to respect those opinions.” Robison said the criticism from Georgoff

Local band Shell, made up of Jacob Church on the drums, Sean Payne on bass and Drake Gerber who plays guitar and sings, performed their first live show at Howard’s on Oct. 24. The group is currently working on recording their own original music.
Band embraces “beachy-psych” tone By Cole Highhouse Pulse Reporter In his cramped dorm room University student Drake Gerber uses what little time he can find to practice the sound he’s been working on for the past several months. “I’m excited for them to really find out what it is,” Gerber said when asked about finally performing live for an audience with his band Shell. The group consists of Jacob Church (drums), Sean Payne (bass) and Drake Gerber (guitar, vocals). Drawing a lot of inspiration from artists such as Dick Dale, Johnny Marr and Kevin Shields, Shell aims to create a tone and style that can only be described as “beachy-psych” by Gerber. The songwriting process begins with Gerber experimenting on guitar in his dorm
room and sending his ideas over to Church in downtown Bowling Green. While the set who then puts together the drums.

Neon Indian’s newest features new style
PHOTO PROVIDED
“VEGA INTL. Night School,” which came out last month, is electronic band Neon Indian’s third album. It’s been four years since their last record, “Era Extraña,” was released.
By Ben Cook Pulse Reporter “VEGA INTL. Night School”, released under the Neon Indian moniker of Texas based producer,
multi-instrumentalist, and singersongwriter Alan Palomo, marks a notable change of direction for the project. Though still rooted in many of the chillwave elements of previous releases, it is far more dance
and funk oriented, with heavy doses of 80s inspiration and Italo-disco influence. It has been four years since the last Neon Indian release, 2011’s Era Extraña, during which time Palomo returned to some film work before starting on what would become “VEGA INTL. Night School”. The first thing to note about this album is the cover art, a striking piece of imagery that features Palomo amongst analog synths and neon lighting, and framed by a sidebar of Japanese text. This immediately brings to mind elements of vaporwave aesthetic, an art style derived from the internet music genre of the same name. Vaporwave is characterized by an emphasis on nostalgia, specifically of 80s and 90s American or Japanese culture, and features primarily beats made from slowed down and resampled muzak. The vaporwave influence is present sonically as well, albeit to a lesser degree and more in the form of recent vaporwave offshoot future funk, which strays from the usual low tempos and liquidity of vaporwave, and is more akin to chopped and sampled disco
beats. In fact, the least vaporwave thing about this album is the fact that it is a major label release from a prominent name, whereas the rest of the genre is intentionally obscure, with an underground internet following. That being said, the album is very well produced, and though it is mildly whimsical and humorous at times, the structure is very functional and clearly well thought out. It is sonically lush, filled with reverb-laden synths, tight guitar stabs, bouncy house drums that still feel natural and open, slightly buried though free-floating vocals and some of the most fluid and well-played bass of any recent record. In fact, the bass, played by Palomo’s brother Jorge, is the standout feature of this album, as his old-school funk techniques add a deep, smooth undertone that compliments his brother’s lead synth grooves perfectly. This setup gives the songs the illusion of being based upon 80s disco and house samples, and this nostalgic effect gives the album much of its charm. Lead singles “Annie” and “Slumlord” perfectly paint the dark,
neon-lit, nighttime aesthetic that is captured in the cover art and the Palomo directed short film “Slumlord Rising” that accompanies the album and features the track “Slumlord” as its score. Overall, this is an excellent album, with far more strong tracks (“Annie”, “Street Level”, “The Glitzy Hive”, “Slumlord”) than weak ones (“Bozo”, “C’est La Vie”), and it builds and dies eloquently from start to finish. The synths that constitute the melodies at the forefront of most tracks are rich and draped in enough reverb and chorus to make them watery, yet not distant, while the rest of the instrumentation (and vocals frequently) that sit behind them are equally well placed. They float evenly over the course of each track, providing danceable rhythms that feel as club-oriented as they do nostalgic. The combination of these two features makes the album the perfect bridge between vaporwave and electro-house, and although it likely won’t succeed in popularizing the former, it is an excellent record nonetheless.
Former NBA star pens Sherlock inspired novel By Hannah Finnerty Pulse Reporter Most associate 7-foot-2-inch Kareem AbdulJabbar with his glowing NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. An AllStar and a Hall-of-Famer, Abdul-Jabbar graced the court with his presence throughout the 60s and 70s. He has long since stepped out of the paint and has more recently found himself in the silent shelves of libraries where he is beginning to make a name for himself as an author with his September 2015 novel “Mycroft Holmes.” While a novel written by the NBA’s all-time leading scorer may seem relatively unorthodox, Abdul-Jabbar attributes his success on the court to the skills the Holmes brothers use. AbdulJabbar “adapted Holmes’s powers of observation to the game in order to gain an edge over his opponents.” A Holmesian through and through, Abdul-Jabbar grew up reading Conan Doyle’s stories about the brothers, analyzing Sherlock’s
independent genius and Mycroft’s allied and collaborative genius. Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 1800s, the fantastic and often times unimaginable tales of Sherlock Holmes have made a comeback with televisions shows such as BBC’s “Sherlock” and CBS’ “Elementary”. While these works focus on Sherlock, Mycroft, the older brother and lesser known of the two, gets the spotlight in “Mycroft Holmes.” The story follows a young Mycroft Holmes and Cyrus Douglas, an African American tobacco trader who befriends Holmes, from the comforts of London to Douglas’s home near the Port of Spain on the coast of Trinidad, a world much different than modern Europe. A south Caribbean island known for its mixture of African, Creole, Indian, Chinese and European cultures, The people of Trinidad believe their children are dying at the hands of the “lougarou,” a French adaptation of the werewolf, and the “douen,” the wandering souls of Trinidadian children that have yet to be baptized, recognized
only by their small backwards feet. While Holmes and Douglas head to Trinidad to investigate these mysterious deaths, the discoveries and experiences they make lead them to disturbing truths about the island and the residents, not to mention the corrupt politics. Uncovering these secrets also leads Holmes and Douglas into several brawls, shootings, chases, and attempted poisonings. However, the challenges the two friends face are not limited to physical abuse. Douglas and Holmes are in a constant struggle for racial equality, as their friendship and respect for one other was largely common and was rarely accepted. This theme of racial inequality adds yet another dimension to the plot that seems simple towards the beginning but develops into a complex work of art. A page turner to say the least, the chapters are short and hold the reader’s attention, as does the quick-moving plot and dynamic characters. More or less, “Mycroft Holmes” is a long, glorified piece of fan fiction, one that you will lose track of time reading. Certain elements seem
incredibly improbable, similar to most fan fiction, yet historical accuracies are present which make for a novel you cannot put down. AbdulJabbar and co-author Anna Waterhouse have put together a beautiful piece of Holmesian canon where elements of mystery, horror, and historical fiction mesh effortlessly together. The themes of race and slavery tie current social issues with the historic stories of Conan Doyle that many have grown to love. The aspect of racial inequality transforms “Mycroft Holmes” from a simple fan fiction into a powerful but subtle call to recognize the racial issues prevalent in society today.
NEWS Senate passes smoke free policy for campus By Annie Furia Editor-in-Chief As residents of Bowling Green voted on the legalization of marijuana, members of Faculty Senate voted to pass a resolution supporting the Smoke and Tobacco Free Policy. The resolution recommending University President Mary Ellen Mazey and the Board of Trustees endorse the policy passed with 27 votes for and 23 against. Six members chose to abstain from voting. While the resolution does not put the policy into effect, it does state that the Faculty Senate “strongly endorses and supports” the policy.
However, the discussion before the vote revealed the senate’s mixed opinions. As at last month’s meeting, some members of the senate raised concerns about the policy. Some questioned the need to update the University’s current smoke-free policy. “We have a really nice policy now that still respects the rights of smokers,” Anne Gordon, associate professor of psychology, said. Stephanie Walls, assistant professor of political science at Firelands, said the current policy does not account for things like e-cigarettes and other vapor-producing products, leading to confusion over whether or not

Womens Basketball prepares for season By Evan Hayes Sports Reporter With their 2015-2016 season fast approaching, the Bowling Green State University Womens Basketball team is working hard to bounce back after last season’s disappointing ending, which saw the Falcons lose five players to injury and drop their last 12 games. Healthy and determined, the Falcons are looking to make some noise in the MAC this year as they head into their exhibition match this Saturday against Ashland University. “We’re getting ready to get started with our game against Ashland University this Saturday,” Head Coach Jennifer Roos said. “They’re former division two national champions, and they run a very similar offense to us and I think it’ll be a great

looks to be challenging, with eight of their twelve games being played on the road. It will be important for Bowling Green to learn from their nonconference schedule in order to maintain momentum when they move into MAC play. “We have a very tough nonconference schedule in my opinion, with Cincinnati on the road, with the University of Virginia on the road out of the ACC, and three Missouri Valley Conference teams,” Roos said. “We don’t have a lot of home games in our nonconference schedule, so we have to become a little bit of road warriors. But we need to use this nonconference schedule to prepare for conference play come January.” The Falcons exhibition against Ashland this Saturday will take place at 4 p.m. at the Stroh Center. They will open their season on November 13th at home against Illinois State.

Mens Soccer prepare for a must-win match at Akron By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green men’s soccer team will play against the Akron Zips on Saturday night, in a must-win match to advance to the Mid-American Conference semifinals, as well as relying on a West Virginia Mountaineer loss on Friday. Akron currently holds a 12-3 record on the season, which puts them first in the MAC overall standings. “We know going in that Akron has a really, really good team,” Junior midfielder Joe Sullivan said. “We’re just focused on practice this week and trying to figure out how we’re going to get better each and every day, hopefully on Saturday we’ll be able to get a few goals.”
The team believes that this game is set to defensively,” James said. “But when we’re given bring out their finest performance of the season, our counters, that’s when we need to take our despite playing against a very good chances.

going to be key for us to just keep our composure and stay tough.” In order to play well in this match, as well as in a potential playoff run, the team will need to have all hands on deck for the remaining weeks. “Basically, we need all eleven starters,” Head coach Eric Nichols said. “It would be good to get Pat Flynn back, and get some more guys on the score sheet.” Despite needing to rely on West Virginia losing to the Northern Illinois Huskies in their final match of the season before the Falcons can hope to grab the final playoff spot, the team is not concerned with games that are out of their hands. “There’s nothing we can do about it,” Nichols said about the West Virginia-Northern Illinois match. “We’ve got enough to be busy on Saturday night.”

raised awareness to the message of safe and fair student housing. “It is much more about the message and what we are trying to get done,” Phillips said. “No matter the result, the campaign did a really good job of making the message and allowing the community to understand the student’s perspective on some things. The campaign was just the beginning of this and it really acted as a catalyst and now its what we decide to do with it.” He said no matter if he is involved in politics in the future or not, he will continue to work for this cause. “I know going forward we are going to be able to address what we started because now the city is aware and both candidates are aware now,” Phillips said. “I’m fairly confident that both of the candidates would be willing to work with me and other students to make the conversations we are having continue.” Phillips said his future career of politics is “up in the air.” “Given the time and the circumstance, I’m going to do what’s best for myself,” he said.
As for his fellow candidates, Phillips said either would do a good job as mayor and ultimately hopes they will continue to foster a relationship with the University. “Both have run very good campaigns and have best interest of community,” he said. “My biggest expectation is that they keep

Shelter joins for service By Michelle Mathis Managing Editor For victims of sexual and domestic violence, a shelter called the Cocoon provides a safehouse. Recently renamed from The Cocoon Shelter to simply The Cocoon, the shelter’s purpose is give resources to women and children effected by battery and abuse. The shelter likes to use the theme of advocacy because it provides a strong sense of support. Arielle Patty, a sexual assault advocate at the shelter said, “Advocates provides support to survivors and link them to resources.” The services that The Cocoon provides is diverse and in-depth, and connects multiple organizations together. The University had a program on-campus called The SAAFE Center, that ran out of the psychology building. After The SAAFE Center closed, however, it was obsored into the sexual violence program at The Cocoon. Patty said that the merging of the two
shelters was provide more inclusive services to those who are in need. Patty said that the sexual violence program makes an intersection between domestic and sexual violence services they provide.
“We are very fortunate
is many ways...I love that we get support from the Bowling Green community.” - Arielle Patty, Sexual Assault Advocate “We have t he sa me ser v ices as before, a nd we have advocates who a re crossed t ra ined in bot h domest ic a nd sexau l v iolence,” she sa id.
According to their central website, they partner with The Link, a 24-hour crisis hour hotline on campus. The Link also provides a building that offers 24 hour care. Since most of the shelter’s work outreaches to the University campus, the shelter has advocates on-campus as well as off campus. “One of our advocates who has previously at the SAAFE Center now has office hours on campus,” said Patty. “We wanted to make contact (who is) more accesible to students.” The sense of community is strong within the shelter and the surrounding area, said Patty. “...We are very fortunate in many ways... I love that we get support from the Bowling Green community,” she said. “Specifically I love the other advocates, I love my new poisition coordinating and doing outreach... I could probably talk about my job [forever].” If you are looking for help due to domestic violence, please contact the 24-hour hotline at (419) 352-1542 or vist them online on Facebook to see upcoming events.

show how strong (the) Greek community is.” Georgoff received criticism of her own for her blog post. In an update on her “Begging for CHANGE” post she wrote, “It was never my intention to come off as attacking Greek Life or this organization.” She went on to say how she was “overwhelmed” by the negative comments left on her post, but she defended her post and said it was “important to me, my work, and my community.” At the end of her post, Georgoff also admitted that some of her statements were “a bit harsh,” but she wrote it was necessary to break the stereotypes associated with homelessness.
Robison said after everything that happened, he did not believe Georgoff’s post was harmful to ATO or their cause. “I believe a lot of her reservations were about just how homeless was being presented,” said Robison. ATO’s president, Kameron Murray, met with civic action leaders from the University and discussed better ways to raise money and awareness for homelessness. Murray and the members of ATO were unavailable for comment as was the staff at the national office for Alpha Tau Omega in Indianapolis, Indiana. Robison said ATO plans to continue their homeless awareness projects, but they will be improved. “My hope is that it will be bigger and better than ever,” said Robison.

NEWS Continued from Page 9 these products are permitted. Concerns were again brought up on how this would affect those dependent on tobacco products, especially students living in residence halls and faculty. Julie Haught, senior lecturer in the English department, said though she supports the idea of not having tobacco and smoking on campus, “this seems cruel and unusual to impose this on people who are required (to be) on campus 40 hours a week, when it’s a legal substance.” Monica Longmore, a former senator who sat on the committee behind the policy, repeatedly pointed to other college campuses that have already gone tobacco- and smokefree. ”I think we can look to these other campuses for examples of best practices or what we can do to make this not so burdensome,” Longmore said. Miami University, Ohio University, The Ohio State University and the University of Toledo already have tobacco-free campuses. Enforcement will be more about “goodwill” than official enforcement, Longmore said. When students, faculty and staff witness people smoking on campus, the policy “gives (them) the right to kindly ask them to put out their cigarette,” Longmore said. The senate also voted to support the creation of a Master’s of Science in forensic science, a Bachelor’s of Science in allied health and a Bachelor’s of Arts in biology. The Bachelor of Arts option for biology was created for students who were not prepared to take the calculus course required for a Bachelor of Science, said Lee Meserve, distinguished teaching professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. A Bachelor of Arts would allow these students to take the minimum quantitative literacy courses required. Meserve said this was not a “dumbing down” of the biology program, but an “opportunity-ing up.” Senate members also voted to nominate Howard Aldrich for an honorary doctorate degree. Aldrich graduated from the University with a Bachelor of Arts in sociology and now teaches at the University of North Carolina. Vice President of Finance and Administration Sheri Stoll also presented the 2016 fiscal budget to Faculty Senate. She stressed the importance of increasing enrollment to bring more revenue to the University, as support from the state has decreased over the years.
