B.o.B. Nico and Vintz come to Stroh Center for musical performance

NICO AND VINTZ opened for B.o.B Sunday at the Stroh Center.
By Spencer Good Reporter
On Sunday, Aug. 31, B.o.B hosted a concert at the Stroh Center that opened up with Nico and Vintz. Students, such as sophomore Bryce Dotson, were filled with excitement during the concert. “The concert was great because the music was hype and everything, especially the DJ, was amazing,” said Dotson. Freshman Tamara Smith added, “They kept the crowd active and hype.” Freshman Kelsee Lothes and freshman Megan Taylor said the concert went very well and was outstanding. The students not only said that the concert was outstanding but also had a lot of energy. “It was really good and had lots of energy,” said freshman Ibraheem Basree. The one thing that most students agreed on was that the dance competition was one of their favorite things when Nico and Vintz was on the stage. “My favorite with Nico and Vintz on stage is when they were having their dance competition and how through that we saw more of their personality. Also I thought it was cool how they went to their African roots during the dance competition,” said Dotson. Not only did they show their African roots, but they also showed the students a different style of dance. “The dance battle was a fun way to get the crowd into the next song. It was also nice to see different types of dancing that other cultures do,” said Smith. Lothes, Taylor and Basree said that they

Bike tour promotes Organization seeks to fund, raise awareness for hunger Students tie-dye T-shirts with Feed My Starving Children for MobilePacks exercise, sustainability Students and faculty ride bikes through Slippery Elms Trail By Kristen Tomins Social Media Editor
Students and faculty participated in the Welcome Week Bike Tour on Aug. 30, part of the University’s Labor Play weekend-long event. More than 70 students, faculty and staff participated in the 10 or 26-mile tour through Slippery Elms Trail in Bowling Green. About 15 people left early Saturday morning to complete the
extended 26-mile-long tour, with a smaller group of four following behind, while a larger group of students and faculty gathered later in the morning for the 10-mile tour. Tours left in groups of seven to 10 students and were led by a student leader. Junior Drew Jackson said the event was something she would do again next year.

Senior Nicole Sloan was caught red-handed yesterday afternoon. Well, actually, her hand was painted a blend of different colors. Sloan is the president and founder of a new University organization, Feed My Starving Children, which held a tie-dying event on Monday. Feed My Starving Children is a Christian non-profit organization which is committed to feeding starving children throughout
the world, a cause Sloan is passionate about. To introduce students to the organization and what they do, Sloan and her board supplied tie-dyeing outside the Union where student could bring their own white T-shirts to be dyed or purchase one from the group. However, raising funds wasn’t the purpose of the event, Sloan said, but rather raising awareness for their organization. “It’s important to me because there is enough food in this world that no one should go hungry,” she said. “But unfortunately

A GROUP of bikers rest during the Welcome Week Bike Tour.
BIKE From Page 1 “I love being outside. I’m not from around this area, so getting to ride my bike around it to see it is something I enjoy,” Jackson said. Being outdoors is also a reason sophomore Christina Baxter registered for the event. “I like the outdoors and I like exercising, so this was perfect,” she said. The tour also let students like junior Shane Starbuck learn of a good place to ride their bikes. “I brought my own bike to school this year and had no idea where to ride it besides campus, but now I do so that’s great,” Starbuck said. Students were able to rent bicycles through the Orange Bike Program and were also provided a free lunch from Jimmy John’s. The first 50 students that registered were

The packing of the MannaPacks will occur during 2015 on April 25 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and April 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and students can sign up for twohour sessions. “Every two-hour session, we’ll probably pack somewhere between 15 and 20 thousand meals,” Sloan said. “It’s amazing what college student students can do in two hours.” Sophomore Devin Knutson, who accompanied her friend to the group’s Fall Tie-Dye Welcome, signed up to get involved and volunteer with the organization and encourages others to do the same. “I think it’s just a great way to get involved and meet other people who are interested in similar things and also bettering yourself,” Knutson said.

Hennessy said the original goal for the program was to have at least 50 people register and was pleased to have met the goal by more than 20 people. The bike tour was planned by the Office of Sustainability, which also partnered with the Wellness Connection to promote exercise and healthy activity, while also being able to enjoy the city of Bowling Green in an environmentally friendly way. “[The tour] was good interaction between upperclassmen, freshmen and faculty,” Hennessy said. “It helps people get acclimated to [the University], enjoy the weather and nature while also meeting new people. It’s all about interactions.”
formed airplanes which coincidently is about wishing,” said Dotson. Both Basree and Smith didn’t have a favorite part because they liked how he entertained the crowd. “The best part was when B.o.B took my phone and recorded part of the concert,” said Taylor. Some students’ favorite songs during the event were by B.o.B. Both Smith and Lothes liked the song Strange Clouds by B.o.B. “I liked the song So Good by B.o.B because that is when he made eye contact with me and also it’s a really good song,” said Taylor.
attention what they wanted to do and bring people out.” Junior Kayla Lewandowski, who acts as the campus outreach chair for the organization, agreed that their tie-dying was a success, saying they had to make two separate runs to get more supplies. “It was a good way to come out and have some fun as well as give people information about the organization,” Lewandowski said. She also said there’s a variety of ways students can assist the group. “They can help by donating money and time,” Lewandowski said. “We need volunteers donations, and committee members. I think [people] should [join] because it’s a great way to get involved on campus, to meet new people… as well as give back and help the starving children.” The University chapter of Feed My Starving Children will be at Campus Fest this week and can also be reached by e-mail at bgsufmsc@ gmail.com. Their next event will be a Guess How Many fundraiser Sept. 10 and 11 at the Union tables.

Hilltoppled Falcons drop season-opener at WKU, look to grow for next opponent By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
The Bowling Green Falcons went into Friday’s game against Western Kentucky with the chance to prove on national television that all of the preseason accolades and hype were well deserved. Instead, what was seen was the Hilltopper offense torching the Falcon defense for a schoolrecord 702 yards of total offense on their way to a 59-31 home victory. The Falcon defense struggled all night, giving the Hilltopper receivers plenty of wide-open receptions as well as missing a multitude of tackles in open space. The defense made WKU quarterback Brandon Doughty’s job seem easy as he completed 46-56 passes for a school-record 569 yards and six touchdowns. “We didn’t play to our abilities,” said senior defensive end Zach Colvin. “We have to look ourselves in the mirror, accept that, and get back to

Men’s soccer defeats IUPUI in home opener at home Falcons claim 2-0 victory against IUPUI, look to build off success
By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor
The Bowling Green men’s soccer team returned to the friendly confines of Cochrane Field to open their 2014 season on Aug. 29. After battling through a tough spring, oft being hit by the injury bug, the Falcons began the season on a high note beating Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis two goals to none. The Falcons were able to score midway through the first half and they never looked back. “It’s huge,” redshirt sophomore goalie Nick Landsberger said. “You spend the whole summer thinking about it, so it’s nice to come out in front of our home fans and get the win.” The Falcons led 1-0 at halftime before scoring their second and last goal shortly after the intermission. While the Falcons are excited
“It was a huge win, a great way to start off the season, but we just have to move forward now.” Pat Flynn | Sophomore about the good start, they understand that they failed to finish how they know they will need to in order to be successful in the future. “I don’t think we finished the game very well,” head coach Eric Nichols said. “Far be it from me to have complaints when we get a win, especially at home, but we have a lot of work to do.” Not only are the Falcons worried about finishing out the entire 90-minute contest, but they understand that they left plenty of goals on the field by not
finishing in the last third. “We’re taking our chances a little bit better,” Nichols said. “But, if we were as deadly in the final third as I’d like us to be, and how we need to be, then this game is probably over at halftime.” The Falcon offense is certainly a work in progress, even after a two-goal effort, but their defense set the bar high beginning the year with a shutout. This was in part due to the two captain center backs, senior Jon Kumher and junior Jake Genrich leading the way. “It’s nice to have our leaders [Jon Kumher and Jake Genrich] back there to help out, keeping everyone organized,” Landsberger said. “I like having both of those guys back there and I think everyone likes having them on the field as well.” With the defense remaining

Volleyball falls to 0-3 in Hampton Inn Invitational Falcons lose to Dayton, Middle Tennessee, Pittsburgh Hampton Crawford Reporter
The Falcon volleyball team hosted the Hampton Inn Invitational this weekend at the Stroh Center finishing the tournament with a 0-3 record. The Pittsburgh Panthers ended up winning the tournament with a 3-0 record followed by Dayton who went 2-1, and Middle Tennessee State who mustered up a 1-2 record. Although the Falcons struggled to get a win, they showed flashes of what this team could be like later down the road, showing resiliency in every set they played. Starting with Dayton, the Falcons had some jitters to overcome early on as they went down 7 to 3. Freshman Nicole Slimko stepped up and delivered a few kills to tie it up. The Falcons won the first set it 25 to 18. From there it all went down-
hill for the Falcons as Dayton came out and won the next three sets 25-18, 25-18, 25-23 to win the match three to one. The Falcons ended the first match with Slimko posting 19 kills, along with nine digs and two aces. Sophomore Alyssa Maloney finished with six kills and three blocks. Sophomore Madeline Garda added 22 digs and sophomore Jelena Sunjic had 10 kills, four digs and two blocks. Senior Kelsey Bates finished with eight kills and seven digs and classmate Erica Fullenkamp ended the day with 40 assists five digs and two aces. Head coach Danijela Tomic was proud of how they played in the game. “I was very proud of how competitive they were,” said Tomic. “Especially in the third set and that we didn’t give up. This is a

Changes throughout decade for difference in society Geoffrey Howes COLUMNIST
I thank The BG News for inviting me to write a biweekly column. Today I’m responding to a list I was given as an aid for my first-year seminar. It describes the “Mindset of the Class of 2017” with statements like “Pay Pal has replaced a pen pal as a best friend on line” and “Gaga has never been baby talk.” I thought University students might be interested in the mindset of their teachers. Of course, I can speak only for myself, not for my younger and older colleagues. The class of 2017, last year’s freshmen, were born exactly 40 years after me. When I was growing up, there were three main TV channels, ABC, NBC and CBS, plus a local station. In the Detroit area we also got CBC from Windsor. PBS arrived in 1970.
In elementary school I was a “safety boy” [crossing guard]. There were no safety girls. The girls made hot chocolate for the safety boys. I knew of only one kid whose parents were divorced. If there were more, it was not talked about. In the 1960s, “Made in Japan” meant cheap and mass-produced. A Honda was a motorcycle. Stadiums were named after people [Shea] and teams [Tigers], not corporations [Citi, Comerica]. Corporations were named after people [Ford, Wrigley] or industries [General Motors, General Mills], not given clever portmanteaus [Verizon, Comcast]. I witnessed the end of the age of passenger rail. I rode from Detroit’s Michigan Central Station— now a notorious urban ruin, to New York, sleeping in a Pullman car. The Penn Central railroad went bankrupt in 1970. It was not too big to fail. I experienced the end of the
78-rpm record and the arrival of stereo, cassette tapes, push-button phones, eight-track-tapes, VHS and Betamax videotapes, CDs and DVDs, cell phones and iTunes. I typed my dissertation on a typewriter and first used a PC in 1988. I was 33. By the time I was 13, the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated. When I was 11, there was a week-long riot in Detroit. I was 13 when the Eagle landed and Woodstock happened, the forerunner of Lalapalooza and Bonaroo. “The War” was the war in Vietnam. When I was 14, four protesting students were shot to death at Kent State. I turned 18 the year the draft ended. I was 19 when Nixon resigned. I first voted in the 1976 elections. I was 30 when the Challenger exploded, 34 when the Berlin Wall fell and 45 on 9/11. When I went to Michigan State in 1973, I could pay for a whole quarter with a check for under $300. We registered for classes in “The Pit,” a gym-
nasium with a table for each department, by handing over punch cards. Back then, a college education was a public good as well as an individual credential. We were riding the crest of the expansion of the 1950s and 1960s, when college became generally obtainable without large debts. Then the 1973 oil crisis came and changed everything. The pie was no longer so big. Inflation reigned. Japan entered the U.S. automobile market. The “Rust Belt” lost population to oil-producing states. Ronald Reagan became president, reassuring us that we were still great. The end of the Cold War seemed to confirm this, but it paved the way for globalization, downsizing, outsourcing, de-funding of state universities, and our current nervousness.

Gym etiquette allows for successful workout MICHELE MATHIS COLUMNIST
As the new school year approaches, I, like many other students, eagerly flocked to the new student recreation center to see how the new renovations turned out. With plenty of brand-new machines to offer, there is hardly any wait time even during the five o’ clock rush hour, and there’s enough fullbody mirrors to fulfill any gym rat’s fantasy. As someone who visits the gym often, I was so happy the new center was able to fulfill the high expectations and rumors floating around it.
All this week I’ve been eager to put in my headphones, lace my shoes, and hit the treadmill. A few days ago, however, was different. During the middle of my run, I became distracted. When I looked over to my right, I saw a young man “playing” with the new punching bag. He was taking wild swings – without gloves - in the center of the bag [the most dense and concrete part] and loudly yelling in surprise when it hurt. Of course, this was much to the enjoyment of a few young ladies sitting on the abdominal mats a few feet away. Seeming to be encouraged by the girls’ behavior, the young man went from cardio machine to cardio machine,

revving them up to maximum speed. I watched him as he stumbled and fell off a few of them, and cringed as he laughed hysterically when he found that he could not, in fact, run at a pace of 13 miles per hour. While some might find this behavior comical, I found it mildly annoying. Usually, I’m not one to judge what one does at the gym because I know that everyone works out their body their own way and at their own pace. However, this type of behavior was not only distracting others around him and causing a disruption to numerous workouts, but running on treadmills at maximum speed for a period of time can cause these machines to go out of order.
Any type of gym equipment can break and wear down with misuse. And, like they did before, when machines go out of order, nobody is happy because it causes a longer wait time. On top of that, this behavior is disrespectful. A lot of hard work was put into the new center for us students and to play around on the machines is the opposite way to show gratitude towards the hard work that was put into it. If you’re going to head to the gym, practice gym etiquette. Use the brand-new machines properly, and don’t run around like a three-yearold just to prove that you can.

FOOTBALL From Page 3 work.” The struggles were not specifically put on the defense as the offense struggled early and on third down conversions. The Falcons were 4-10 on third down conversions compared to the Hilltopper’s 14-18. After winning the coin toss and choosing to receive first they went three and out two drives in a row, not moving past their own 35 yard line until their third drive. On first down of their second drive tight-end Chris Pohlman broke through the secondary and was wide-open behind the Hilltopper safeties, but dropped the pass from quarterback Matt Johnson. “They played the same

At first the team struggled losing the first set 25 to 17 with a hit percentage of .148 percent to Middle Tennessee’s .478 percent. The Falcons turned over a new leaf in the second set as they opened the set with a kill on the first point. The Falcons then built an 8 to 5 lead then a 14 to 11 lead and never looked back as they won the set 25 to 22. From there on out it was neck and neck with the Blue Raiders winning the third set 25 to 23 and the Falcons winning the fourth 25 to 19. Middle Tennessee took the victory winning the fifth set 15 to 9 handing the Falcons their second straight loss. The Falcons would finish with Slimko having

That drive stalled after a failed fourth down attempt on the Hilltopper 13 yard line. What was a called QB keep for Johnson was quickly picked up by the defense. “It was a designed keep but they [WKU] ran a twist and it messed up the blocking a little bit, unfortunately we weren’t able to get it,” Johnson said. What had the chance to be a momentum changer for the Falcons turned into the first touchdown pass for Doughty. The offense began to move the ball down the field at a consistent pace, showing the ‘Falcon Fast’ speed people were expect-

Even with the loss, Tomic likes the competitiveness she saw from the group and thinks this team can be something special down the road. “I think this team is a special team even now,” Tomic said. “We just need experience. This is a natural process of team development and I mean, we have two seniors who are doing their best to lead this young group and they have to be patient. We as coaches have to be patient and take every opportunity from a win or loss and just get better.” Even with the loss, Tomic continues to be impressed by the resiliency this team shows not losing morale and fighting to the last point. “It is huge,” Tomic said. “It just tells you about the character of these kids. So when we are on we are very good. You can see moments of excellence; it is just we are not consistent and that just boils down to youth and how young we are … these kids will grow and mature with every match.”
Great Selection
ing when the second quarter began. “We were just doing the little things right,” Johnson said. “First downs are the keys to this offense and to get first downs you have to do the little things right.” For as long as it took the Falcons to get into rhythm, the Hilltoppers stayed in rhythm and went into halftime up 31-10. In the second half the Hilltopper offense continued it’s scoring pace against a defense that again struggled to tackle in open space. “We didn’t tackle in space; you have to tackle in space. If you don’t tackle in space it’s going to be a long day,” said first year head coach Dino Babers. “It’s the fear of every football coach in the first game because you never get the opportunity to tackle enough.”
The Falcons got a stop in the third quarter and Johnson responded with a 41 yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Moore. That cut the Hilltopper lead to 14 points but that is the closest the Falcons would get the rest of the contest. “It was a very poor effort,” Babers said. “I have to take full responsibility for that; a football team can’t play that bad unless the head football coach had something to do with it.” The Falcons will return home for what Babers said will be a “rough week of practice,” as they prepare for their home opener against Virginia Military Institute [VMI] Saturday at 3:30 p.m. “A football team grows more between the first and second game than any other game,” Babers said. “We are going to get back and grow.”
The Falcons then played their final match against Pittsburgh exposing their inexperienced youth even more as Pittsburgh dominated the match winning three straight sets 25-19, 25-7, 25-14. The match started off with both teams competing at a high level but mid-way through the first Pittsburgh got a big league and never looked back. Slimko lead the team with seven kills in the game followed by Maloney’s four and Bates finished with three. With the weekend over, Tomic and the Falcons look to use this weekend in preparation for their next tournament. “That is what preseason is for,” Tomic said. “We play in practice every day against each other, but it is different when you have teams across the net with different styles of play [and] different players and it just exposes all of your weaknesses and strengthens and it gives us a better idea of what we need to work on.” With three consecutive losses that could hurt the morale of any team, Fullenkamp is not looking at how you start, but how you finish. “We are playing for the end of the season right now and what we are looking for each game is to improve and we are trying to build off our improvement and trying to get better,” she said. The Falcons will head to Dayton next weekend to compete in the Wright State Invitational. Their first game is on Friday at 7 p.m. against California State University, Baskersfield.

DailyCrossword Crossword Fix Fix The The Daily
Cross country teams get personal records despite last place finish By Jamar Dunson Reporter
The Bowling Green Falcons started their season on a good foot at the Toledo Invitational. Junior Becca Rae led the women’s cross country team and redshirt freshman Nathan Tuck finished within the top ten overall against Eastern Michigan and the University of Toledo. Both men’s and women’s opened up with the 5,000-meter to start the meet. Rae set a new personal best of 17:56.1, coming in fourth overall and finishing under the 18-minute mark. Freshman Rachel Walny running unattached in her first meet, also finished under the 18-minute mark with a time of 17:57.
The women’s cross country nabbed two more personal bests with redshirt sophomore Mackenzie McMillin and sophomore Brent Darah both getting under the 18 and a half mark. Kuck finished seventh in the race with a new personal record of 16:01.7 and was the third freshman in the race to finish. Behind him were fellow freshmen Kohl Taberner and Nick Voth, getting 13th and 14th place respectively. Head coach Lou Snelling took notice of Rae and Walny’s performances, citing them as the positives to build off of for the future. “Becca Rae had a great start individually and was the first to cross the line under 18 minutes,� Snelling said. “She wasn’t in uni-
form but Rachel Walny also under 18 minutes as well.� Assistant men’s coach Eric Thatcher noted how well Kuck handled himself in the race, pacing himself well while showing aggression. “He [Nathan] handled the pacing early, it was fairly aggressive and he was just competing the whole way,� Thatcher said. Thatcher also talked about how well Kuck’s work ethic is paying off. “Getting that last guy by just a tenth of a second, finishing seventh at this meet, we feel good about his health, he’s worked really hard,� Thatcher said. BG’s next meet will be its first and last home meet of the season in the annual Mel Brodt Collegiate Invitational. It will take place next on Sept. 12.
Falcons drop road game at Evansville Women’s soccer falls to 0-3 overall, looks to continue its process By Tobias Flemming Reporter
The BG women’s soccer team continues its quest for a long awaited victory after being defeated by the University of Evansville on the road on Friday, Aug. 29. The Purple Aces beat the Falcons 2-0 in a nonconference play. BG trailed Evansville early after Tatiana Pagan scored a goal in the 11th minute making it 1-0 for the Purple Aces. “We gave up an early unfocused goal off a corner and found ourselves chasing the entire game,� BG head coach Lindsay Basalyga said. “We switched our formation at halftime to try and work ourselvesBG back in and I’m News really proud (1.68�) of the way 1 column by 4�the team responded.� While BG had two shots

in the first half, the Falcons improved that number to eight in the second half. In the 63rd minute however Evansville player Nicki Baham scored the 2-0 lead for the Purple Aces on a rebound shot. The Falcons tried to come back into the game after that, yet were unable to find the back of the net. Overall, the Purple Aces out shot the Falcons 21-10 and while 9 of their 21 shots went on goal, the Falcons only placed two of their shots on target. Bowling Green goalkeeper Lauren Cadel made six saves Friday night before she was taken out of the game at the 70 minute mark. Falcon transfer junior Alexis Smith, who gave her debut in goal, had one save during the final 20 minutes of the game. Basalyga said the effort
and work rate her players showed was satisfactory but the team lacked focus again in the key moments of the game. The Falcons went to 0-3-0 whereas Evansville improved to 2-1-0 after Friday’s win. “I’ve said it before, winning is the toughest thing to do in sports, especially when you are working on building confidence and self-belief,� Basalyga said. “With that being said, I wouldn’t want to go through this part of our process with anyone other than these 22 players. Eventually they’ll get tired of this outcome and I’m really excited for that moment.� BG women’s soccer will return home to Cochrane Stadium for their matchup with Cleveland State on Friday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m.
