BRIEF Mary Wolfe died
Mary Wolfe, a patron of the arts at the University, died Oct. 23 at age 82 at the ProMedica Toledo Hospital due to a stroke. Wolfe, an alumna, artist and a faculty member at the University, is known for her and her husband Frederic’s [Fritz] donation of $1.5 million to build the Wolfe Center for the Arts in 2005. “Mary and her husband, Fritz, have been long-standing supporters of BGSU,” said University President Mary Ellen Mazey. “Their contributions, especially for the construction of The Wolfe Center for the Arts, have made a lasting impression on the campus and our students. Her legacy will last for generations. Our deepest condolences go out to Fritz and the rest of Mary’s family.” Wolfe received her master’s degree in art history and painting from the University in 1968. Wolfe taught art history and painting at the University until 1976. Wolfe was also the director of exhibitions for the McFall Center Gallery until the mid-1980s. In 2011, Wolfe received the 2011 Governor’s Award for the Arts from the Ohio Arts Council. The award recognizes individuals and organizations that have helped the growth and development of the state’s cultural resources. Wolfe’s research interests included classical Greek and Roman art and Italian art during the Renaissance. Wolfe also gave talks about art and art history to groups, along with making many trips abroad to see art. Funeral arrangements for Wolfe are still being made.

On Oct. 25, participants from the University and the Bowling Green community ran in a 5K on the University’s campus to support freedom for sex workers in Mumbai, India. The race began promptly at 10 a.m. with the starting line and clock right in front of Overman Hall. There were over 230 confirmed runners in the event. Student volunteers handed out snacks, fruit and water, while music played and Freddie and Frieda made appearances. Junior Devery Manier, host of the Aruna 5K, said that what makes the race especially special was where the money goes. “I’m the external affairs chair for Black Student Union, so the president of BSU contacted me and said the event was looking for a host, so I volunteered,” Manier said. “One of the best parts of the race is that the money goes directly to the Aruna Project. Not BSU, not BGSU, not Cru, but it goes directly to helping the women in Mumbai get education, shelter, food and childcare.” Ben Zauski, junior and coordinator of this year’s event, said that the race took a while to put together. “I’m the student director of the 5K, so I was in charge of leading the student committee, but I worked with 11 other passionate students divided into different committees to put the race on. It took us six months and four days to organize this event, but I’m proud of it,” he said. “To me, freedom means hope and this event means that the University is willing to step up and help stop suffering for the atrocities these women face every day, things people like you and I could never even imagine.” Senior Jessica Echales said the race was eyeopening. “A member from the Aruna Project committee came to [Environmental Action Group’s] meeting and talked about it with us, so I decided to run with friends,” she said. “I knew a little about domestic violence already but this race really opened my eyes to everything.

Al Gore’s divorce lead to two faculty members discovering a trend of rising divorce rates of people around the age of 50 to 60 years old. W hen associate professor of sociology I-Fen Lin and Sociology Department Chair Susan Brown heard about the divorce, they were curious to see if others were doing the same thing around that age. “They were married for a long time,” Brown said. “We wanted to see how common it is for older people to do this.” She said a higher divorce rate could have serious implications.
“They could have implications for health and wellbeing,” she said. “There are consequences of divorce later in life.” They looked through census survey data to discover a trend. It was found that since 1990, the divorce rate for people over the age of 50 has doubled. Also, for people over the age of 65, the rate has more than doubled. “The largest is those that have gotten divorced before,” Lin said. “They are the biggest factor for the ‘gray divorce’. It’s about 2.5 times more likely to get divorced again.” Brown and Lin refer to the older divorce rates as the ‘gray divorce.’ They have also found that factors such as education, race

and ethnicity have almost no correlation with the divorce rate increase. Lin said the National Institute of Aging gave the two faculty members a three-year grant starting this year in September. They want them to try and discover why the trend is rising. “We are going to look at the causes and consequences of ‘gray divorce’ and see if they get re-partnered. Also to see if it is better on recovery for divorce.” Lin said it is important to know and understand why this is happening for several reasons. “Who is going to help those parents?” she asked. “Usually

But that is not the case for people in their 50s and 60s.” Lin was also concerned about their emotional wellbeing. “We also need to see health consequences for divorce, like being sick or depressed after it,” she said. To help with the study, Brown and Lin have two graduate and two undergraduate students working with them. “It’s great for them to learn outside of the classroom, seeing how to do research,” Brown said. “They are very excited about the project, because not only are they learning about later life, but also learning survey data.”

THE FALCON Health Center now provides a program called ReadyCare that services locals during extend and weekend hours.
ReadyCare allows students to receive care during later hours By Christopher McGowan Reporter
The ReadyCare program at the Falcon Health Center allows students and community members access to health care when it normally wouldn’t be available. ReadyCare, a program offered by the Wood County Hospital, was started several years ago in order to provide members of the Bowling Green community with the kind of treatment that they’d receive at a doctor’s office when no doctor’s office would be open, such as in the evening or on weekends. ReadyCare has spent most of its life on Main Street last May, the program moved to the newly constructed Falcon Health Center.
“It offers people a place to go when their doctor’s office would be closed,” said Catharine Harned, director of marketing and business development at Wood County Hospital. “We’ve kept the program going because there is a need for it in the community.” The service is able to treat just about anything that a regular doctor’s office is able to treat. “[ReadyCare] is designed for treatment of after-hours injuries that don’t require a visit to the emergency room,” Harned said. “That would be anything like chest congestion, colds, a sore throat, rashes or others.” Treatment at ReadyCare is entirely first come, first served. There is no need to
make appointments and anyone can walk in and get help. Kimberly Welsh, the administrative director of the Falcon Health Center, said the service typically has one to two providers, doctors or nurse practitioners and two to four clinical support staff on any given day. ReadyCare also provides services which might otherwise have to be done at a hospital, such as lab draws or X-Rays, Welsh said. The advantage of this program over going to the emergency room for these conditions is the cost, Harned said. “If you go to an emergency room, more testing is done, all of which costs money,” she said. With ReadyCare, the cost

is comparable to a doctor’s office visit, she said “The Main St. location was just a storefront property. It didn’t have the capability of offering any expanded services such as a pharmacy. It was a natural transition to move to the Falcon Health Center since it was designed specifically for that purpose,” Harned said. Since the transition, ReadyCare services have seen a 59 percent increase in usage, she said. ReadyCare medical services are available from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Falcon Health Center during the week and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the weekends. Lab services, x-rays and pharmacy services are only available during the week.

Five different Falcons score in 5-4 win against Clarkson University Saturday night; Nell makes 27 saves By Corey Krupa Reporter
The Falcon hockey team defeated Clarkson University on the road on Saturday night to win the weekend series. BG scored four goals in the first period to earn a 5-4 victory over the Golden Knights. Each goal on Saturday night was scored by a different Falcon, while freshman goaltender Chris Nell made 27 saves in the win. Nell is now 2-0-0 on the season.
“We were opportunistic,” head coach Chris Bergeron said. “I don’t think it was a peppering of shots. We scored on the good chances we had.” Kevin Dufour, Ben Murphy, Mitchell McLain and Tyler Spezia each recorded goals in the first period for BG. Spezia’s goal was his first collegiate goal. Dufour leads the NCAA with eight goals scored. Dufour has recorded at least one goal in every game this season. “It’s always a good feeling to get that first
goal of the game,” forward Dufour said. “I feel confident out there. I have great chemistry out there with my teammates.” Pierre-Luc Mercier scored an unassisted goal in the second period to give the Falcons a 5-1 advantage. Clarkson answered with three consecutive goals; however, BG prevailed to win the game. “These are situations we have to learn from,” Bergeron said. “Ultimately, we ended

To open the scoring, BG benefitted from a West Virginia own goal just 21 minutes into the game.

BG women’s soccer defeated 0-2 Friday by Broncos, tie in double overtime with Huskies Sunday; Falcons fall short of Mid-American Conference tournament By Tara Jones Sports Editor
The BG women’s soccer two-game win streak came to an end this past weekend. Friday the Falcons dropped their match 0-2 at Western Michigan and Sunday’s match against Northern Illinois ended in a 0-0 double overtime tie. With the pair of losses, BG drops to 4-12-1 overall and 3-6-1 in MidAmerican Conference play. In the first match of the weekend, the Broncos controlled the match early as they got off 14 shots and five corner kicks in the first half. Goalkeeper Lauren Cadel made nine saves in the half. Though Western Michigan controlled the offense for the first half, they were unable to find the back of the net as the game went into halftime scoreless for either team. However, the Broncos connected on two second-half goals in the 56th and 86th minutes.
The Falcons were unable to get their offense running throughout either half. BG put up just two total shots, both of which came in the first half, compared to Western Michigan’s 26 attempts on the day. For the fifth straight game Cadel finished with double digit saves, tallying 12 against the Broncos. “Western Michigan is simply a better team than us. With that being said, we absorbed a lot of pressure and defended with a lot of grit and discipline in the first half to head into halftime 0-0,” said head coach Lindsay Basalyga. “Lauren [Cadel] had yet another outstanding performance and kept us in the game longer than we should have been in the second half.” The Falcons improved their offensive attack Sunday in their game against Northern Illinois. BG got off 13 total shots in its 110 minutes of play. The Huskies had 21 shots, 11 of which came in the

AUTUMN KUNKEL FORUM EDITOR
A few weeks ago, a story surfaced about a woman by the name of Brittany Maynard who is choosing to “die with dignity” shortly after her husband’s birthday. Maynard, 29, has stage four glioblastoma - a “malignant brain tumor” - and only has six months left to live. After months of strenuous research, Maynard has chosen to end her life via physicianassisted suicide (also known as euthanasia), saying, “There is no treatment that would save my life and the recommended treatments would have destroyed the time I had left.” On Nov. 1, Maynard is set to undergo the procedure in Oregon, where the practice is legal, in order to prevent inevitable suffering.
Ever since this story has surfaced, so too has the controversy over the idea that one has the right to “die with dignity,” along with the emergence of scathing judgement. To “die with dignity” means that a dying individual has the right to physician-assisted suicide in order to prevent or cease further suffering, if they so wish. Not everyone agrees that this is the case. The most prominent argument countering the idea is that physician-assisted suicide should not be legalized or performed on the grounds of religion. The issue with this logic, however, is that the notion of whether or not to allow physician-assisted suicide is a legality issue. Since there is a separation of church and state, other people’s opinions based on their religious ideals do not matter. Not everyone holds the same beliefs and values and therefore saying that one person should not have the right to “die with
dignity” based on another’s religious beliefs is invalid. Another concern people have brought up in the wake of this controversy is that those who are depressed and/or suicidal may utilize physician-assisted suicide. This would be a fair concern, except for the fact that, as mentioned previously, to “die with dignity” means that a dying person can choose to undergo physician-assisted suicide if they wish to prevent or end their suffering due to their illness. This means that it wouldn’t be “easier” for those who are depressed and/or suicidal to stroll into a hospital and get the procedure. What’s worse than the arguments attempting to deny the right of a dying individual to end their suffering is the harsh judgement of the people who make this decision. Claims that people who choose to undergo physicianassisted suicide in order to end or prevent suffering are not “brave” or are taking the “easy way out” are not just unfair, but
also untrue. For one who does not want to die, but has been put in a situation in which they must choose to die on their own terms or to die slowly and painfully, the decision is no simple task. Choosing the date and place as well as breaking the news to friends and family, are all very draining matters. Death is scary, regardless. It’s very easy for one to pass judgment on a person when they’ve never been in their situation. But what we need to recognize is that, whether or not we personally would make a decision like Maynard’s, in the end it doesn’t really matter. When it comes down to it, different people have different thoughts, beliefs and values and if they’re not hurting anyone, they should be allowed to make the decisions that best suit them.

Morals from fables helpful, can be applied to personal life GEOFFREY HOWES COLUMNIST
Since Halloween’s coming, I’ve translated one of the scariest stories I know: “A Little Fable” by Franz Kafka. “It’s awful,” said the mouse. “The world is closing in on me more every day. At first it was so wide that I was scared. I kept on running and was happy to finally see walls in the distance, on the right and left. But those long walls are zooming toward each other so quickly that now I’m in the last room and there in the corner is the trap I’m headed for.” “You only have to change directions,” the cat said, and gobbled up the mouse. We have some features of a fable: talking animals and a moral. But what kind of a
moral is that? The cat seems to have the mouse’s interests at heart, but as soon as the cat’s mouth gives the advice, it swallows up the mouse. In Aesop’s fables, we can tell what the main critter does wrong. The fox can’t reach the grapes and decides they must be sour. The grasshopper sings but unlike the ant he stores no food for the winter. The hare is overconfident and the tortoise wins. But what is Kafka’s mouse doing wrong? He’s just escaping a troubling situation— the world is so vast— and running toward more security. He’s glad to see those walls, which promise to provide certainty. What’s wrong with that? But the walls lead him to a dead end and a mousetrap and out of nowhere comes the cat, who pretends to save the mouse only to devour

him. Kafka shows how hard it is to change directions. Gregor Samsa in “The Metamorphosis” turns into an insect but insists on trying to act human. Josef K. in “The Trial” is outraged at being accused, but when he tries to resist the Law it simply sucks him into its power. Both men meet fates similar to the mouse’s. So what’s the moral of the story? With fables and parables, we can draw parallels to our own lives. We claim to love personal freedom, but the wide world scares us, so we seek security. As security increases, personal freedom decreases. We like walls to protect us, but they also close us in. And before we know it, our pursuit of security has turned into a mousetrap, whether it is a course of study, a job, student debt or a mortgage. And there are lots of cats willing to
give us advice that fits in with their interests. When people think of Kafka, they usually think of impersonal institutions. But the mouse’s own rush toward his little corner of the world is just as “Kafka-esque” as mousetraps and cats. Kafka shows how high the stakes are: if we want security, we’d better be ready to give up freedom. If we want freedom, we’d better be prepared to give up security. Maybe you can have some of both, but that will only happen if you pursue a college education not only to secure a future, but also to learn what is really at stake in your life. And sometimes stories can tell us more about that than self-help books.

The team will be away until mid-January for more home meets.

The Falcons did not score on the power play for the first time all season, going 0-for-1 in the game. However, BG went 2-for-2 on the penalty kill. “You better be on your toes entering a game like this with how physical of a team Clarkson is,” Bergeron said. “Every night

is a battle and tonight was another example of that.” With Saturday’s win, BG improves its record to 4-1-1, with their only loss being on the road against No. 10 Miami University. The Falcons are now 4-0-0 when they score the first goal of the game. BG will return home to the BG Ice Arena this Friday and Saturday night against No. 13 Minnesota State. The puck is scheduled to drop at 7:07 p.m. on both nights.

said. “But, I like our chances to rebound, learn and move forward.” Looking to rebound over the last couple games, the Falcons will look to accelerate the process when they take the field next against the University of Detroit. The game will be the last of a 3-game road trip before they return home for their next MAC game. The Titans will come into the game having not lost in their last four games, beating Cleveland State 3-0 in their most recent game. The Falcons will be trying for their first victory since Oct. 7, as they begin their first game of the final 4-game stretch.

Volleyball finishes 1-1 during weekend Falcons claim four-set victory against rivals Toledo, but fall to Ball State in three sets; head coach Danijela Tomic 1 win away from 200 By Hampton Crawford Reporter
JOHN CLEVENGER | THE BG NEWS
KELSEY BATES hits the ball against two defenders in the Falcons’ weekend series with Toledo and Ball State.
JOHN CLEVENGER | THE BG NEWS
DELANEY ARKEILPANE passes the ball while the Falcons were in action this past weekend at the Stroh Center.
The BG volleyball team went one and one on the weekend at home, beating rival Toledo 25-22, 25-20, 21-25, 25-21 on Friday and losing to Ball State 19-25, 14-25, 19-25. With the win, BG improves to 27-3 all-time against Toledo at home while getting its second Mid-American Conference win of the year. In addition, senior Erica Fullenkamp got her 2,000th career assist and head coach Danijela Tomic got her 199th career victory. BG needed a good win and it got that against its rival, making the victory that much sweeter. “It is always nice to beat Toledo,” Tomic said. “Our fans appreciated it and our team appreciated it ... I [just] love how our team fought and how they played with a lot of energy.” BG had a .263 attack percentage, which ranks second highest of the year for the team, while also outdigging the competition by a 74-70 margin. In the first set, BG was all tied up with Toledo 17-17. Then Toledo took the lead 20-19. BG rallied to go on a 6-2 run to end the set. In the second set, Toledo had a quick 7-3 start, but BG came from behind and went up 17-10, coasting to the win. In the third
set, BG could not take the lead after only being down 20-19 and Toledo won the set. Then BG tied up the fourth set at 10 and went on a surge scoring 10 of 12 points, inevitably putting the game away. Fullenkamp finished with 47 assists and 14 digs, while sophomore Jelena Sunjic had 14 kills. Freshman Nicole Slimko and freshman Paige O’Connor added 11 kills. BG then moved on to Saturday’s contest against Ball State, where they fell in three sets. “When we executed the game plan that we had, it actually worked,” Tomic said. “We were winning and scoring points, but not all of our players were mindful and disciplined enough to do that. What I didn’t like was our defensive effort. I think that was the difference in this match ... That is something that we emphasized and talked about ... Unfortunately not everybody was prepared to play this match.” BG was beat out by Ball State in seven of the eight statistical categories, the worst being in team attack percentage with BG getting .183 percent to the Cardinals’ .389. “They had some nice kills that you couldn’t defend but we allowed them to score on us with roll shots, score on us with
tips, score on us with easy shots [and we can’t have that] so I hope it is a fluke,” Tomic said. BG was neck-and-neck with the Cardinals in the first set tied at seven, but Ball State took the lead late 21-19 then scored four straight to win the set. In the second, BG lost control early with the score at 9-19, losing the set quickly. Finally in the third, BG kept it close tied up at 12, but Ball State went on a run sealing the match and the victory. The Falcons looked to use the loss against Ball State as a learning experience. “Obviously when you lose you see your faults,” said sophomore Alyssa Maloney. “But we can also grow on what our strengths were so we keep pushing towards those and keep on fixing what we didn’t work as well on.” O’Connor had eight kills, while sophomore Madeline Garda had 10 digs in addition to sophomore Alyssa Maloney with six kills, three blocks and three digs. With the weekend now over BG moves to 5-17 overall on the season with a 2-8 MAC record. BG will have its next contest at home against Akron this Friday at 5 p.m. for the Halloween game. Then on Saturday BG hosts Buffalo at 5 p.m. for senior night.
