CAMPUS BRIEF
Football player suspended for sexual misconduct Bowling Green running back William Houston, 19, of Mansfield, Ohio has been suspended for two
years by the University following an investigation and hearing under the University’s code of student conduct. The University has found Houston responsible for “sexual contact without permission,” according to an email sent by the University. He was arrested July 20, for attempted rape at an off-campus
residence. He was then placed on interim suspension by the University on July 21. Houston was then indicted on Aug. 6 for the attempted rape charge, but “the criminal case is seperate from the University’s code of conduct case,” said University spokesperson David Kielmeyer.

The Student Handbook states that the suspension seperates the student from the University for a defined period of time, after which the student may return. A permanent notation will be added to one’s transcript as well. Houston ran for 211 yards on 49 carries and a team-high seven
touchdowns this past season for the Falcons. The athletic department has no comment on the situation other than what was released by the University. “From the University standpoint this case and the decision is complete,” Kielmeyer said.

University to implement streamlined way of recycling on campus, hopes to minimize trash By Kathryne Rubright Pulse Editor
Ca mpus Operat ions a nd t he Office of Campus Sustainability hope to boost University recycling by switching to a single-stream recycling system. In a single-stream system, all recyclables go into one container rather than having separate containers for different recyclables. With this system, Nick Hennessey, sustainability coordinator for the University, and Andrea Depinet, director of campus services, hope to raise the University’s diversion rate, the rate of items diverted from landfills to recycling, to 50 percent. The rate is about 20 percent right now, Hennessey said. An advantage of single-stream recycling is that it allows more types of items to be recycled. Plastics are numbered depending on their compositions. The old plastic receptacles were only for types one and two, Hennessey said. Types one through seven can go in the single-stream containers. However, high-

One thing students hear often is how important it is to get involved on campus. On Thursday, students will get the chance to see all the options the University has to offer. The University will host Campus Fest, a long-standing tradition that helps students explore organizations and activities, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Union Oval and old campus. Campus Fest allows student organizations to set up tables and recruit new members. Those who are interested in joining organizations can learn more about the programs the University has to offer. Students can also learn about the dif-

Learn to say no, put yourself before others every once in a while Ashley Hardwick IN FOCUS EDITOR
Typically, I write my columns about how our community can make a change in society. I usually use examples from my everyday life, class lectures and events from history to do so. However, this one will be slightly different. A few days ago I was walking to my house from campus late at night. I called my mom to vent about my week and somehow I felt safe talking to her, even though she was three hours away. After complaining to her about the people I allow into my life, she yelled at me. Yes, I am a few days shy of 21 and my mom still yells at me. She told me that I do not take care of myself, and although I consume way more coffee than the usual college student should and sometimes engorge myself with frozen Ho Hos, she was
not talking about my physical health. Mentally and emotionally, she said, I worry her. My stomach literally dropped as I imagined my mom losing sleep and biting her nails whenever she thought about my well-being. She told me that putting others before myself isn’t always a good thing. She also reminded me that some individuals are “takers” and some are “givers.” “Ashley, you have a tendency to allow the takers into your life. You give everything to them, but they just keeping taking and taking,” she said. This statement really bothered me because I know she is 100 percent accurate and that saddens me. It’s not sad that people take advantage of my willing and care-giving personality; it’s disappointing that I allow them to. I need to make a greater effort in focusing on my well-being. I need to reassure myself that it’s OK to tell people “no.”

Last week, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown stated that because Burger King has “abandoned” the United States by purchasing Tim Horton’s and moving to Canada, American consumers should patronize Wendy’s or White Castle. If he’s urging a Burger King boycott, the Senator is short on both facts and economic awareness. So before organizing yet another demonstration, a few facts might be pondered. Burger King’s parent company, Burger King Worldwide, Inc., is not in the restaurant business. Nor, for that matter, is Tim Horton’s. These two companies derive nearly all their revenue from royalties, not from serving food. Out of nearly 14,000 Burger King restaurants across the globe, the par-

commendable. The company’s Board of Directors would be negligent by not attempting to minimize expenses. All the talk lately about companies not being “economically patriotic” by paying their “fair share” of taxes [whatever that is] is nothing but hot air from politicians, most of whom have never signed the front of a paycheck. It’s also probably safe to say that Senator Brown takes advantage of every tax benefit possible on his personal tax return. As a judge once said, “There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.” Respond to Phil at thenews@bgnews.com

Ever since I was little, my mom told me, “You can’t save the world, Ashley. You’re not superwoman.” And this is one of the reasons I catch myself saying yes. I feel guilty for putting myself before others, but knowing that I worry my mom in the process, I have to remind myself that it’s not selfish if my best interest is my first priority. In order to keep the promise I made to her, I have practiced saying “No.” “Ashley, do you wanna order me a pizza? I’m broke.” “No.” “Would you like to help me write my essay, even though I know you have a sinus infection?” “NO.” Hey, it’s a start, right? This is literally something I’ve struggled with my entire life, but I’m working on the realization of how impossible it is to be superwoman. As someone once told me, “You can better help others when you help yourself first.”
Fast food chains merge in smart financial move, not unpatriotic ent company operates a mere 51. Similarly, Tim Horton’s, headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, operates only 16 out of 4,500. A boycott of a Burger King restaurant would harm the local restaurant and would only affect the parent company in a very indirect and tangential way. There are several reasons for the Burger KingTim Horton’s proposed merger. Burger King wants to reduce its taxes, and the Canadian maximum tax rate is lower than the American. Both companies are in the same industry, and both have the same business model. Under a free-market system, customers vote with their wallets. It’s a safe bet that those who patronize Burger King are not concerned with its corporate tax strategy or “economic patriotism” as much as motivated by hunger pangs and a preference for its products. Burger King’s strategy of tax minimization is both transparent and

Normalization of sexual assault, mislabeled perpetrators harm women Autumn Kunkel FORUM EDITOR
Women have always been told that they should prevent their own sexual assaults. The messages are constant: “don’t walk alone at night,” “don’t drink too much” and “pay close attention to your surroundings.” These are just a few rules women are encouraged to abide by. There’s even a new line of rape-prevention gear that includes items like “antirape” underwear and nail polish that detects date rape drugs. With the introduction of these items, specifically, there’s been tremendous backlash and an outcry blaming perpetrators of sexual assault, rather than weighing down the burden on women. But even as we begin to see this progressive shift in attitudes toward sexual assault, there are still many misconceptions about who rapists are, in general. Perhaps the most frustrating of these is the idea that rapists are “sociopathic” or “mentally ill.” Labels like these further the problem of sexual assault because they distract from the real issue of its general normalization. The notion that rape is normalized may seem like a stretch, but the raw data on the topic states oth-

erwise. In a study published in “The Lancet,” a leading medical journal, researchers surveyed 10,178 men in order to figure out how many had committed a rape, as well as to delve into the reasons behind their actions. They asked men if they had ever “forced a woman who was not your wife or girlfriend at the time to have sex” or “had sex with a woman who was too drunk or drugged to indicate whether she wanted it.” Researchers intentionally left out the word “rape” to figure out if study participants realized what they’d done. What they found was unsettling. It turns out 55.4 percent of respondents had raped one woman in their lifetimes. The most prominent reason for rape was the feeling of entitlement “over the woman’s wants and needs.” W hat’s most striking to me is the fact that most of these men were unaware they were admitting to committing sexual assaults. As mentioned previously, the researchers purposely left out the word “rape” in their questions in order to get respondents’ honest answers. Had they explicitly asked those men if they had raped a woman in their lifetimes, the results wouldn’t have been quite as telling. The fact that the surveyed men admitted to rape only when the
questions did not explicitly use the word “rape” hints at the bigger issue of how sexual assault has been normalized. These men thought they had a right to women’s bodies and saw nothing wrong with being truthful in the survey. They weren’t sociopathic or mentally ill; they were average men who were unaware that what they were doing was wrong. This needs to be noted because, when people mistakenly label rapists as sociopathic or mentally ill, it takes the responsibility of their crimes away from them, further harming the women they sexually assaulted. The fact that many people don’t understand what rape is, and therefore end up committing the act, is the root of the problem. This normalization of sexual assault is the very reason why so many rapists go unpunished, and why so many women are victims of rape in the first place. It’s important that people understand why sexual assault is normalized [so much so that even rapists don’t know they’re rapists], and start holding perpetrators accountable, instead of labeling them in ways that rob them of accountability altogether. Only then will the rape epidemic be able to subside. Respond to Autumn at thenews@bgnews.com

er-numbered plastics tend to contain food so they need to be emptied and cleaned before going into recycling receptacles. “That form of contamination is not a good thing, so we’re actively campaigning and educating on that,” Hennessey said. Glass can be recycled campus-wide now. Some hall councils organized their own glass recycling prior to the single-stream system, Hennessey said. In the past few years, glass wasn’t recycled because there aren’t many glass recyclers in the area, Depinet said. Transporting glass became more costly because the University had to use facilities that were far away. However, the University still occasionally recy-

cled glass from events like Green Tailgating at footba ll ga mes, Hennessey said. Cans, cardboard, glass, magazines, newspaper, paper and plastics numbered one through seven can be put in the singlestream containers. It’s “equally important” to know what isn’t recyclable, Hennessey said. This includes items with food waste or grease on them. The Office of Campus Sustainability’s website provides more details about what can and cannot be recycled. Depinet hopes singlestream recycling will also prove to be financially advantageous, though it’s too early to tell. Sophomore Kenji Bungo questioned whether the system would create more work on the back end due to the sorting process. The process, which takes
place at a single-stream sorting plant, is “very automated,” Hennessey said. Some items are separated by magnets or by falling through holes that are small enough for only certain items to pass through. Bungo expects positive results in terms of the amount recycled. “I think it’ll encourage people to recycle, which is awesome,” he said. Another aspect of increasing the diversion rate is making sure people always have a choice between recycling and trash. In the past, the options were not always presented together. As a result, “people would look around for the quickest thing they could to throw their can or bottle away,” Hennessey said. Now there are pairs of containers labeled with “recycling” and “landfill,” words that were deliber-
ately chosen. “Research has indicated that when you approach a container to make that choice,” Depinet said, “these words really drive the behavior that you want.” Bungo found the choice humorous, but effective. “I laughed hysterically the first time [I saw them],” Bungo said. “I guess guilt tactics work for some people ... but it’s a little overkill.” Hennessey has received feedback from students and staff about how the landfill option makes people think twice about whether items really should go in the trash. “Ultimately, I think it would be really cool if that maybe drove people’s behav ior,” Hennessey said. “People might think, ‘Wow, I’ve put a lot of the things into the landfill this week. Maybe I shouldn’t put as much in.’”
involved. In addition to learning about new organizations, there will be games and plenty of free candy and University items to collect. Junior Ashley Hillis said it’s a chance for campus organizations to compete
for attention. “Campus Fest is a great way for students to get involved in campus organizations and find what interests them, make new friends and learn about BGSU, but it’s a popularity contest,” said Hillis. “All the organizations want to
recruit new members so it’s a competition for who has the best goodies to grab students’ attention.” Set up and registration begins at 10 a.m. In the event of inclement weather, Campus Fest will be moved to Thursday, Sept. 11.

BG men’s soccer team defeats Findlay 8-0, Tuesday night Flynn scores 5 goals in first half for Falcons By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor
The Bowling Green men’s soccer team put together a relentless effort, topping the University of Findlay 8-0. The Falcons scored seven of their eight goals in the first fortyfive, with sophomore Pat Flynn connecting on five goals himself. The five-goal effort by Flynn tied a school record for goals in a game by one player. “It feels good, any time you put a game together like that it’s always a good start, but it was a real team effort,” Flynn said. “Today they called on me to step up, the next game it could be anyone else.” Despite having just one goal in his time at Bowling Green prior to the game, Flynn’s performance wasn’t entirely unexpected. “Pat Flynn kind of blew up today, but he’s been right on the edge the last few games,” head coach Eric Nichols said. “He’s been close and when he shoots he always gives it a chance. It doesn’t surprise me that he blew up tonight.” While Flynn was the star of the night, the team gave credit to the good, unselfish play throughout the midfield. This is going to be what really helps the team this year, Flynn said. Not only did the offense make a statement against the Oilers, but the defense posted its third consecutive shutout to begin the season. Whether it be the veteran leadership in the back, or valiant effort from the goalie, the Falcons have found a way to keep the opposition off of the scoreboard. “We’re defending well in the front half and then our guys in the back clean up everything we miss,” senior Danny Baraldi said. “[Jake] Genrich and [Jon] Kumher clean up a lot of

Falcons have potential to turn program around this year
Women’s soccer team has building blocks necessary to get first win in 2 years Tara Jones SPORTS EDITOR
By Tara Jones Sports Editor
How does a team that hasn’t been victorious in more than two years turn its program around? It may seem like quite the feat, but with the right skills, experience and mindset, it can be done. This year’s BG women’s soccer team appears to have those three qualities to take its program in the right direction.
Last season, the Falcons finished 0-15-2 overall and 0-9-2 in the MidAmerican Conference. Their last win came in 2012 with a 2-1 victory against IUPUI at Cochrane Field on Aug. 26. This means the Falcons have been winless for more than two years. The Falcons may be off to a 0-3 start on their young season thus far, but that record can be a little misleading. Yes, at the end of the day the Falcons have fallen in their three competitions to Morehead State, Michigan and Evansville, but for a team in the process of rebuilding, sometimes it’s about more than the win/loss column. Last season, the Falcons totaled just nine goals on 149 attempts for
a six percent shot percentage. The team averaged less than one goal a game at 0.53 goals. This season the Falcons are off to a much quicker start. So far, they have already scored four goals if you tally those scored during two pre-season scrimmages. Several people argue that scrimmages don’t matter in the scheme of things because they aren’t reflected in the team’s record. This may be true in the larger picture, but for a young team in the process of rebuilding a program, every time they step on the field, it counts. Of the four total goals scored by the Falcons so far this season,

three have been scored by freshmen. Madison Schupbach, a freshman, scored the lone goal in a 2-1 loss against Morehead State in the Falcons’ season opener. In pre-season scrimmage play, sophomore Kara Ross’s goal against the University of Illinois at Chicago [UIC] was accompanied by a goal from freshman Skylar Fleak. Mikaela Couch, another freshman, was again the only Falcon to score in the Wright State Scrimmage on Aug. 15. In those two pre-season scrimmages, the Falcons tied both UIC [2-2] and Wright State [1-1]. A tie might not be a win, but it sure can be a morale booster for the Falcons. Head coach Lindsay Basalyga, in just her second year at BG, clearly has faith in her freshmen this year. Five freshmen started in the Falcons’ home opener against Morehead State. Three started at Michigan and four entered the starting lineup in their last game at Evansville. When taking a glance at
this season’s starting lineup and early box scores, one thing seems clear: the freshmen are taking over. And they are taking the program to a new level. Accompanying those young Falcons are seven upperclassman, adding a much needed aspect to the team’s new skill set: experience. There is no doubt that those upperclassmen get hungrier with each game to clinch their first victory in two seasons. Those upperclassmen also bring another asset to the table. Covering the team last year, it was impossible not to notice the optimistic mentality of both the coaching staff and the players. After each game, regardless of the outcome, the team was ready to get back to work. The Falcons’ process was never necessarily to try to win every game, rather it was always to step out on the field better than the last time. It may take a while before this year’s freshmen understand BG’s process and what the team is about, but there is no doubt Basalyga and her enthusiastic upperclassmen will get them to buy into their program. Once this skilled new class buys in, there is nowhere but up for the Falcons.
stuff every game and they don’t really get enoug h recog nit ion for it.” Nichols also has been pleased with the execution on defense, but praises the leadership as a key component for the Falcon success thus far. “Our centerbacks are owning the details of the system, showing good leadership and holding guys accountable for ninety minutes,” Nichols said. The first half was filled with excitement on the Falcon bench. However, after being shut out in the second half in the prev ious game, the Falcons looked to make a concerted effort to not coast to a third victory. “We were concerned with them hurting us, but we felt like if we attacked the box we could get something,” Nichols said. “The focus was right where it needed to be, onto the next play regardless of what the score was.” Not only did the Falcons continue playing deep into the game,

they did so with an array of freshmen on the field together. The final goal of the game was scored by a freshman from a fellow freshman pass. Not only did the freshmen put together a scoring effort, they gained valuable game experience. The game was really valuable for them and there is definitely some promise there, Nichols said. Despite the near perfect performance, the Falcons will continue to look for ways to get better. Nichols noted that they have been attacking the box, creating chances and taking them well, but they will look to get down to the ‘nitty-gritty’ and fix the small things that need to be worked on. “Today we took care of business, but now it’s onto the next game,” Baraldi said. “As good as this feels, hopefully we can do it again next game.” The Falcons’ next game will be on the road in Pittsburgh for the Duquesne Invitational. Bowling Green will take the field on Sept. 5 and again on Sept. 7 to end the weekend.

nents as the women’s soccer coach. Basalyga said she loves the PK challenge because it puts a different kind of pressure on them as coaches. “I think it’s really great for athletes to see coaches get out of their comfort zone because that’s something we pride and talk to them all of the time about,” Basalyga said. “At the end of the day whether we make a PK or not, it doesn’t matter, but they’re seeing their coaches get out of their comfort zone and
have some fun and I think that’s an important part of the process.” Basalyga also said the fact that Kingston takes part in the penalty kicks speaks to his character. “There are very few A.D.s in the country who would step in front of coaches and do something like this,” she said. “I just think that shows the kind of character of the person that is leading the athletic department.”

Market square gets good reception Businesses, apartments seeing success since opening By Seth Weber City Editor
Market Square, which was recently constructed on Wooster Street, has seen successful business in the few months it’s been in operation. Jimmy John’s, which used to be farther from downtown, has seen more customers, said general manager Will Pierce. He said the new location is much better than the previous one. “[We have been] doing big numbers before students even came back [for fa ll semester],” Pierce said. Jimmy John’s neighbor, Biggby Coffee, has been “extremely helpful” he said. The owner of Bowling Green’s Biggby Coffee, Gary Dible, has offered employees to help Jimmy John’s, Pierce said. “He’s been a great neighbor to have,” he said. Dible said when the store opened he “hired heavy” because corporate told him many employees would quit during train-
ing or early into their employ ment. He said nobody quit, and some ended up wanting more hours. To accommodate his employees, Dible told them they could try working part-time at Jimmy John’s, which Pierce accepted. Market Square is a great location, Dible said, because it’s right between the University and downtown, which attracts a lot of foot-traffic. He said the Bowling Green location has done well compared to other locations such as Maumee. “We’re further ahead than [Maumee was] at this point at time,” Dible said. Appl icat ions have also been high, he said. Dible said Bowling Green’s Biggby Coffee has received about 300 applications, and gets more online daily. Community feedback from the city has been positive, said Theresa Charters Gavarone, fourth ward city council member and chair of the public
lands and buildings committee. She said residents are happy with the building’s design. Sixteen apartments are located above the restaurants in Market Square, and all have been rented out to tenants, said Michelle Remeis, co-owner of Mecca Management. AT&T and a restaurant called Wings Over will move into the open spaces in the future, Remeis said. She said Market Square’s location is “ideal” and enriches the area. “It’s a real asset to the community,” Remeis said. Students are also receptive to the new Market Square. Junior Alyssa Capron said she likes that it’s close to downtown, but wishes there were more restaurants and shops. Sophomore Tess Lohse said she likes the restaurants, but thinks the location is too far from campus. “I like Jimmy John’s and Biggby and now that they’re together, I like that,” she said.

City council discusses sidewalk repairs
You share your birthday with at least 9 million people in the world
Members debate, brainstorm ideas to improve infrastructure By Ashley Hardwick In Focus Editor
Council members gathered to discuss important issues within the community on Sept. 2 at the senior center downtown. Some of the concerns were cracked sidewalks, bike pathways, buying more salt for the upcoming winter and overall “being more aggressive” when it comes to reaching their goals. Council member Bruce Jeffers was also mostly concerned about the damaged sidewalks and how they affect the community. “As I walk around the city I’m bothered by the bad sidewalks and bumps,”
Jeffers said. “I want to push for more aggressiveness and think about the city first.” Third ward council member and President of City Council Mike Aspacher agrees the city should be the council’s first priority. “My goal is always to get through the meeting without a major screw up,” Aspacher said. “No, no I’m kidding. I was anxious about the more in depth conversations about the revised sidewalks. I think we all agree about our sidewalks.” The members of council are trying to resolve the problem by bouncing ideas
off one another. One suggestion is to find the worst sidewalks in town The BG News and address those first.
