The Oaks now offers new, special vegan section for students
Men assaulted, robbed
Shoots recognized by animal rights organizations such as PETA and the Humane Society of the United States
BRIEF
Two men were assaulted and robbed last night around 3 a.m. on the 800 block of E. Wooster Street, between Founders and South Hall. According to a University report, several men took part in the assault and took one victim’s iPhone 6. The victims have been treated and released from the hospital. The suspects fled the scene as police arrived. Shortly after the robbery, an officer saw a suspect who “appeared to be a white male with a dark complexion, or a black male with light skin.” The suspect also had a tattoo on his right arm. Authorities want anyone with information about the case to contact Detective Scott Kleiber of the Bowling Green Police at 429-352-0077. Information leading to a conviction could lead to a $1,000 reward.

It recently got a bit easier to be a vegan on campus with the introduction of a dedicated vegan section called Shoots in The Oaks dining hall. Opened last week, the new vegan portion of The Oaks has been in the works for the past year and an half. Dining Services Director Michael Paulus, who calls Shoots a “dining concept,” said it was a joint effort between the vegan club on campus, University Executive Chef
“The amount of vegan food on college campuses is increasing and it’s good to see Bowling Green leaning that way.” Kenneth Montville | PETA Member Marissa Riffle and Director of Operations and Wellness Holly Sanderson. “Each worked diligently
through menu development, design, construction and building,” Paulus said. Shoots features entirely plantbased foods prepared and served in an area separate from non-vegan dining options in The Oaks. According to Paulus, Shoots was created to cater to dining hall patrons who are dedicated to a vegan lifestyle. Shoots has not gone unnoticed by certain animal rights organizations. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals [PETA] and the Humane Society
of the United States have recently recognized University Dining Services for their recent interest in accommodating vegan students. “It’s amazing that they’re doing this,” said PETA Senior Campus Strategist Kenneth Montville. “The amount of vegan food on college campuses is increasing and it’s good to see Bowling Green leaning that way.” Previously, PETA hosted a student-made petition on its

Piecing Together a Pathway to Success University College of Business recognized globally through various awards, ratings, accreditations By Kendra Clark Campus Editor
The College of Business has accumulated a number of recognitions and awards over the years and that list is still growing to this day. To name some, the college achieved gold standards in accreditation in business and accounting. It also was ranked in the Bloomberg Businessweek’s “Best Undergraduate Business Schools” 2014 edition as the top 5 percent of business schools in the country. It also ranked the accounting program number one in the state. The college was also rated number two among business colleges in Ohio by The Princeton Review. New this year, the Bloomberg ranked the entrepreneurship program number 51 in the country. Dean of the College of Business Raymond Braun said these awards help the college with the students and staff. “It helps us to enroll quality students and to attract and retain high quality staff,” he said. “It also helps with alumni support because they are proud of the accomplishments.” The recognition also helps because great employers want to recruit our students, he said. “I am proud we have attained a high ranking for our business education,” Braun said.

On Thursday, Sep. 25, junior Madison Korak put on the grey dress she will wear every day for 30 days. She’s not trying to save money on clothes; in fact, she wants to raise money to help other women. The One Grey Dress Project, cosponsored by Panhellenic Life and Cru, asks its participants to wear a single grey dress for 30 days to raise awareness and money for organizations that aid women involved in human trafficking and those without access to education. It was this goal that led Korak to participate. Korak said human trafficking is
“something that’s so big in our community that a lot of girls just don’t know about, I just wanted to do it to raise awareness.” The grey dress worn during the project symbolizes the lack of choices for women caught in human trafficking or without access to education. According to the project’s website, by only wearing one grey dress, participants “can feel a small piece of the isolation, oppression, and enslavement felt by girls and women worldwide in human trafficking and impoverishment.” Breanna Randolph, vice-president of service for Panhellenic Council, said the project actually started a few years ago with a woman at Cru.

“She came up with the idea to wear the same grey dress for ... six months,” Randolph said. “She donated all of the money she would have spent on clothing during that time period to the Daughter Project.” Randolph said some sororities had actually participated in the One Grey Dress Project in past years, but she wanted more involvement. “This year I wanted us to participate even more so now we’re [Panhellenic Council] a co-sponsor of it with Cru,” Randolph said. The three organizations the project is raising money for are the Circle of Sisterhood, The

Smith said that both some genera l public and students use the Planetarium. “We’re here to service anyone,” Smith said.

UAO shows free movies for students every month Movie series program gives students entertainment options every other Tuesday night By Chris McGowan Reporter
The Movie Series program shows free movies for students every other Tuesday night in the Union. It is a continuing program put on by the University Activities Organization [UAO]. The movies are completely free, located in the Bowen-Thompson Student Union Theater and also come with free refreshments. Rachel Davis, the codirector for the Movie Series program, is in charge of planning the events. “We try to bring in movies that are new or haven’t come to DVD yet so that students have something fun to do,” Davis said. The Movie Series has

Randolph said at least 30 women are participating in the project, but the project has also seen support on a wider basis. “From staff and faculty ... there’s been a lot of support,” Randolph said. “As far as the student body, there’s been a lot of positive reaction[s].”
“It’s nice to have somewhere to go for free.” Jessica Turner, a sophomore communications disorder major, has seen a couple of movies with the Movie Series program. “It’s always fun bringing friends to the movies,” Turner said, “They always have good movie choices. It’s a good idea; we should have more free movies.” UAO hosts numerous other activities similar to Movie Night. “We usually host a concert event and a comedy show. Last year we got ‘Fluffy’ [Gabriel Iglesias] to come here,” Davis said. “We also host a bus trip to Cedar Point and to Chicago every year.” For a full list of all upcoming UAO events you can visit www.bgsu. edu/uao/.
Randolph added that many of these reactions come through social media, where some of the women participating post pictures of themselves wearing their grey dresses to raise awareness. Korak is one of those women. “Everyday, I’m putting it on Instagram with a fact about human trafficking and I’m putting it all over my Facebook,” Korak said. “I’m trying to get people to either run the 5K or give money to the actual One Grey Dress Project.” People can learn more about the project and donate at onegreydressproject.weebly.com.

BUSINESS From Page 1 Director of the Dallas-Hamilton Center Kirk Kern helped create the ranked entrepreneurship program with Braun. Some of the events the program puts on include The Hatch and Global Entrepreneurship Week, which he said any student is welcome to attend. The program, Kern said, has received such attention, that he was invited to present in England and stand along side of other schools such as Harvard and Stanford. “It makes our College so much bigger and more competitive,” said Student Ambassador Raven Aurand. “For small town Bowling green to see how much of an impact we can make.” Aurand said she didn’t know about the awards the college had when she started school.
“It felt awesome when I found out,” she said. “I didn’t realize the extent of how awesome it is. However, that doesn’t mean to Braun that the work is done. “We want to continually improve our program,” he said. “There is always room for improvement and then our rankings will get even higher.” He also stressed that the achievements the College of Business has also reflects well onto the University as a whole, as well as its students. “We are a part of Bowling Green State University and our successes are successes of Bowling Green,” he said. “It’s not just an isolated piece; we want to welcome all faculty, staff and students to participate.” Almost all of the events in the entrepreneurship program and general business college are open to all students to attend, not just students in the College of Business, he said.

I didn’t realize how important school spirit is to me until I went to Wisconsin. A couple of weekends ago, I had the opportunity to go to Wisconsin to take photos of the football game. I expected Camp Randall Stadium to be packed with fans wearing red, but little did I know that the entire city of Madison would be the same. I went to breakfast at the Denny’s next door to the hotel I stayed at on Saturday morning. I was shocked to see that the entire staff was wearing either Wisconsin apparel or something red.
That Denny’s is 20 minutes away from the stadium and I knew that as I got closer, things were only going to get crazier. On the University of Wisconsin’s campus, everyone was wearing red. Though the stadium was nearly empty when I walked in, I got to watch it fill up with 79,000 people as time went on. The student section was still being filled well into the second quarter of the game. That student section could’ve filled the Doyt. And it was the loudest I’ve ever heard anything outside of a concert. Seeing all of those people wearing red and hearing a crowd that loud made me realize that our University’s school spirit is lacking. I know that we don’t go to a Big Ten school and that we
don’t have a football stadium that can fit 80,000 people. However, there’s no reason we shouldn’t show the same amount of school spirit. On game days, I don’t see people wearing orange and brown unless they’re going to the game. Our stadium isn’t packed. Even on Falcon Fridays I don’t see many people participating. And I find that disappointing. I’m not saying that everyone has to love football and get excited about it. I am saying that we need to show more pride for our school. I know that the University may do things that really tick us off. But at the end of the day, we made the decision to attend school here and should be
proud of it. Football games just happen to be a great way to show school spirit. Even if you don’t like football, go to a game with friends. You might find that you enjoy it. Even if you don’t go to a game, wear orange and brown on game days. This applies to any game. It could be basketball, volleyball, soccer, hockey, etc. If you think that it’s too difficult to do that, it’s not. Many of these games fall on the same day. The University is a great place. Be proud to be a Falcon, and show it.

YouTube pranks involve sexual assault, disrespect women AUTUMN KUNKEL FORUM EDITOR
Recently, a story surfaced about a famous YouTuber who “pranked” women by sexually assaulting them. The person in question is a young man by the name of Sam Pepper and his prank video has garnered a plethora of negative attention. And rightly so. In the particular video I’m talking about, Pepper gets the attention of random women on the street [usually by asking them for directions] and while they’re distracted he grabs their behinds. In the final version of the video, many women are seen laughing nervously, attempting to shrug off his inappropriate behavior. One woman even repeatedly says, “I don’t like that”, but Pepper still thinks it’s a game. The original video has since been taken down, as it violated YouTube’s Terms of Service,
though you can still find reuploaded versions online. Before this story came up, I never heard of Pepper or his YouTube renditions. But after coming across this most recent atrocity, I found that he had a whole series of prank videos where the goal was to assault or discomfort women. In one video, he handcuffs himself to women and tells them that he won’t let them go until they kiss him. In another, he makes women kiss him, telling them that he’s looking for the best kisser in the area in which he’s roaming [in this video, Venice Beach]. He literally forces himself on unwilling women in order to do so. There are so many reasons why this person’s so-called “pranks” are anything but. The fact that this person thinks it’s okay to treat women such a way, as well as the thousands of individuals who defend him, exemplify the general disrespect society has for women, their sexuality and their space.

BENES, PHOTO EDITOR GINA RASICCI, DESIGN EDITOR KRISTEN TOMINS, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR ANNIE FURIA, COPY CHIEF
I shouldn’t have to explain why groping women without consent, handcuffing them and forcing them to kiss you is wrong, but since some people think it’s okay, I will. All of the actions previously mentioned are forms of sexual assault. Period. In the videos, Pepper does not get consent from any of the women. For his “pranks” to be even remotely acceptable [though still distasteful], before recording the videos he would have to tell participating women what he was going to do [i.e. grope, kiss or handcuff] and actively get their consent to do so. Without this measure being taken, his actions are nothing short of sexual assault. There is no debate. No consent? Then you’re committing a serious violation. After the controversy, he claimed he made the buttgrabbing prank video in order to raise awareness about male sexual assault. Even if this is true [which
I sincerely doubt], that is no excuse to harm women. Not only are his actions disheartening, but the fact that thousands come to his defense furthers my general sadness and frustration. So many people, men and women alike, claim that those complaining about his pranks are “overly sensitive” or just “can’t take a joke”. But there is a fine line between a harmless joke and harmful sexual assault. Some of these women may have been laughing, but anyone with a little bit of common sense can tell they didn’t think his jokes were funny. He violated their space, disrespected their sexuality and disregarded their discomfort. His behavior, along with the out-pour of support from fans, demonstrates just how normalized the disrespect for women in society really is. And the fact that so many people think his behavior is perfectly fine is disturbing.

MINUTEMEN get FUMBLED
Falcons get second road win
Men’s soccer team gets 1-0 victory at St. Bonaventure By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor
The BG men’s soccer team earned its second road victory and seventh total victory of the season on Sunday, surpassing their win total of 2013. After back-to-back games at Cochrane Field, and a loss in their most recent game, the Falcons went to Olean, New York, to take on 0-4 St. Bonaventure in the first of a threegame road trip. The game remained scoreless until the 76:18 mark when BG sophomore Joe Sullivan knocked in the lone goal of the game off of an assist from fellow sophomore Pat Flynn. The goal proved to be all the Falcons needed as first-time starter, Ryan Heuton posted seven saves, giving the Falcons their fifth shutout of the season and his first win. “He [Ryan Heuton] has trained extremely hard and he deserved the game,” head coach Eric Nichols said. “He had a couple really solid saves.” While the Falcons have been a shallow team this season, often using the same starting lineup and utilizing just one substitution, they have an array of other players who are training hard for a chance to take the field as well, Nichols said. Despite the Falcons’ secured win against the Bonnies, they struggled with their shot yet again. Featuring the nation’s leading scorer [Pat Flynn], and being in a tie for fourth in goals per game as a team, the Falcons were only able to get five of their 14 shots on goal. “When we get our chances, we need to get them on frame,” Nichols said. “Winning is hard. It’s never going to be easy and they [St. Bonaventure] made it really difficult today.” While the Falcons had their share of struggles against the Bonnies, they were able to bounce back after midweek loss to Michigan State and put themselves back into the win column. “We put the game behind us and came out here and competed,” Nichols said. “It was a different game today being away from home, but we got the win.”
BG defense struggles against UMass, but comes up with game-winning fumble late By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
The Bowling Green defense has been the biggest concern for the Falcons so far this football season and they struggled once again this weekend. They allowed 638 total yards, 589 of those yards coming from University of Massachusetts quarterback Blake Frohnapfel. Yet, throughout all of the in-game struggles, the game was won by the defense. Redshirt freshman James Sanford forced a fumble on UMass’ last possession to solidify the Falcons 47-42 win Saturday afternoon. “I had no problem kicking the ball to our defense,” head coach Dino Babers said. “Our defense won the game for us; they went up there with two minutes left against a good football team ... and they found a way to win the game for us.” The offense had no problem moving the ball all game long, but on their last two drives they went three and out failed to take much time off of the clock. The Minutemen took over trailing 47-42 and on their own 14-yard line with 2:19 left in the game. After an 18-yard rush from J.T. Blyden the Minutemen found themselves at their own 32. Frohnapfel completed a pass to Blyden, then Sanford came up and forced the fumble that was then recovered by BG freshman Clint Stephens. With 1:46 left on the clock and UMass out of timeouts the Falcons took three kneels and walked away with the win. “I just broke on it. I held him up and somehow the ball just came up I’m not sure how,” Sanford said. “We’ve been working on it [forcing turnovers] a lot in practice. The numbers haven’t been great against us, but we’ve been making plays to save us from that. It’s just a great relief to get that done.” In fact, this wasn’t the first time the Falcon defense has forced an important turnover late in a game to help the Falcons earn a win. In their third game of the season, down 35-32, the Falcon defense forced a fumble against Indiana University that eventually led to their 45-42 win. Despite their struggles number-wise, they have stayed true to what they wanted to do in the beginning, and that is forcing turnovers. With their four turnovers on Saturday,

Falcons drop matches to Ball State, Akron Women’s soccer begins MAC play with two losses during weekend road trip, falls to 1-8 overall, 0-2 in conference play; head coach Lindsay Basalyga content with team By Tobias Flemming Reporter
The BG women’s soccer team had a rough start into its MidAmerican Conference play this weekend. The Falcons dropped both of their games, losing 5-0 to the Ball State Cardinals on Friday night and 2-0 to the Miami Redhawks on Sunday afternoon. After Friday’s loss, head coach Lindsay Basalyga said her team was able to show the level it can compete at in some moments, yet it will take time and commitment from her players to be able to compete the full 90 minutes. She said she is pleased with where her team is at right now. BG went into this weekend with a record of 1-8-0, but Basalyga said going into MAC play meant a clean slate for her team and they would look at is as being undefeated. On Friday night, the Falcons lost goalkeeper Lauren Cadel in the 12th minute in the first half to an injury and junior Alexis Smith played between the posts for the rest of the game. In the 20th minute, Ball State player Madison Oyer scored a goal off a cross in front of the box making it 1-0 for the Cardinals. The Falcons had five shots in

Lindsay Basalyga | Head Coach the first half but were not able to score. Ball State took a 1-0 lead into halftime. BG came out strong to start the second half, making four shots in the first 15 minutes, yet none of those shots found the back of the net. In the 64th minute a Falcon defender deflected a ball into their own goal, giving Ball State a 2-0 lead. A penalty was awarded to Ball State in the 69th minute and Cardinals player Orla TraversGillespie took the opportunity to make it 3-0. The young Falcons were not able to recover from this deficit with only 20 minutes left in the game, and Ball State extended its lead to 5-0 with two more goals in the 70th minute and the 86th minute. “A 5-0 loss is tough to swallow in an opening MAC game, but the reality is we have nine players returning from last year. Only
nine of our 22 players have experienced MAC play so this was a huge learning moment for our young team,” Basalyga said. On a sunny Sunday afternoon in Oxford, Ohio, the Miami Redhawks handed the Falcons their next loss. Cadel was back in goal for the Falcons, yet her nine saves were not enough to keep the Falcons from losing 2-0. Miami player Maggie Scott scored the 1-0 lead for the Redhawks in the 14th minute as her header off a corner went past Cadel. Ten minutes later, Miami’s Haley Walter took the ball from the middle, went wide and took a shot that went by the far post into the back of the net making it 2-0 for the Redhawks. The Redhawks outshot the Falcons 25-2 and also shut BG out on corner kicks 7-0. The Falcons fell to 1-8-0 overall and 0-2-0 in the MAC while the Redhawks improved to 7-2-0 overall and 1-1-0 in conference play. BG will continue its conference play with a pair of road matches next weekend. The Falcons will play against Buffalo on Friday, Oct. 3, and will take on Akron on Sunday, Oct. 5.
BG begins conference play 0-2 with road losses to Buffalo, Akron By Tara Jones Sports Editor
The BG volleyball team dropped its first two Mid-American Conference bouts this past weekend at Buffalo and Akron. With the two losses, the Falcons dropped to 3-11 overall and 0-2 in MAC play. The Falcons kept each set close during the weekend, but were unable to close out on any of them. BG began the weekend with a 25-17, 25-21, 25-23 loss at Buffalo Friday night in both teams’ first conference matchup. “We did not execute the game plan completely and were not able to close the third set after leading the whole way until 20 points,” BG head coach Danijela Tomic said. “Our team needs to learn how to play with more urgency from the beginning of the match and we need to get contributions from all six players on the floor.” The Falcons fell behind early in their first two matches against the Bulls before rallying to tie both sets. Buffalo then went on late runs of their own to claim both the sets. In the third set, BG turned the tide as it took an early lead, but Buffalo went on a 6-point run to close the set and claim the match

Senior Kelsey Bates and freshman Clara Martinez Rubio both added three blocks for BG and Martinez Rubio finished with four kills on four swings against Buffalo. The Falcons were plagued with the same issues Saturday at Akron. The Falcons fell to the Zips 26-24, 26-24, 25-22, dropping their second MAC game. The Falcons went into each of the three sets either tied or leading the Zips late, but were unable to come away with any set victory. The Falcons led 20-15 in the first, were tied with Akron 24-24 in the second and led 20-16 in the third set, but the Falcons were swept in three sets.

Falcons bounce back from close Davenport loss despite sloppy play through entire match By Scott Sadowski Reporter
After losing last week to Davenport, the Bowling Green club rugby team looked to bounce back this Saturday against the Ball State University Cardinals. The Falcons did just that, trumping Ball State 59-7. Before the game, head coach Tony Mazarella said his team needed to build off of the positives from the Davenport loss in order to win against Ball State. “We just have to bounce back a little bit. We did some good things last week and we really need to build off of that and correct the little mistakes we made,” he said. “We’re going to apply what we worked on in practice and have a good game.” Both teams began the game with very sloppy play. Neither team could get
anything going offensively and could not retain possession for long enough to get a good scoring effort. Much like last week, the Falcons needed a spark to obtain momentum and confidence. Sean McFarland kicked off BG’s scoring efforts with a short yardage try, beginning the Falcons’ rout of the Cardinals. Although turnovers continued to plague BG throughout the first half, the Falcons offensive attack deemed too much for Ball State to contain. Mario Mockus and Griffen Palmer both had solid performances, showcasing their speed. Palmer assisted Mockus on the Falcons’ second scoring attempt after the both of them zipped through the Cardinals defense. Palmer had multiple good runs on the day, one going for around 40 yards and anoth-
er going for about 50 yards, the second setting up a BG try before halftime. BG went into halftime with a 38-0 lead. “Overall the team played well, but we have to work on little mistakes,” Mockus said. Steve Fritsch also provided a substantial spark for the Falcons after laying a massive hit on a Cardinal defender near the goal line before halftime, scoring a try for the Falcons and causing an uproar from both the crowd and the sideline. To begin the second half, Fritsch kept the momentum on BG’s side with a 50-yard burst up the field. The Falcons continued their scoring efforts throughout the second half but continued playing sloppy. Although BG ended up blowing out Ball State 59-7, the Falcons still committed
Diving team makes debut in Cooper Pool Swimming, diving teams compete in Orange vs. Brown scrimmage By Katie Wernke Reporter
The BG diving team made its debut in the swim and dive Orange and Brown scrimmage Friday afternoon. Split into two teams, the Falcons experienced realtime racing scenarios where all athletes participated. The Orange team edged the Brown team by a score of 127.50 to 112.50. Freshman diver Devan Hennig won the 1-meter dive in three rounds. Head coach Petra Martin looks forward to having diving this year. “With the divers, yesterday was their opportunity to show us a little bit of what they have been doing,” Martin said. “Having them with us is just awesome. It feels like we’re a complete team and we’re looking forward to more good stuff from them.” As the younger athletes get their first collegiate racing underway, Martin sees the work of the swimmers paying off.
FOOTBALL From Page 4 that makes 11 turnovers they have forced in the last four games. “I think the turnovers were big,” Babers said. “I’m not happy with the numbers; I am happy with the turnovers. We have to get better on that side of the ball; there is no doubt about it. But they are our guys; we love them and we are in first place in the MAC [Mid-American Conference].” Offensively the Falcons showed their balance with 668 yards of total offense, 443 coming through the air and 225 coming on
“I think they have done a pretty good job,” Martin said. “Obviously we’ve still got a lot to do, but they are very open. This group is very coachable, so I don’t think it will take very long for them to kind of digest all of the things we are asking them to do.” Sophomore swimmer Victoria Griffin won four events, while freshman Estela Davis took three events. Last season, Griffin dominated in the freestyle events, and this year is starting off about the same. Griffin won the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle while anchoring the 400 freestyle relay. With regular meets coming soon, Martin is aware of the areas where improvement is needed. She said the Orange and Brown meet is good because it allows the team to race like they would in regular meets, but they can be told specifically what to work on. “Our times were pretty good for this time of the year,” Martin said. “It’s very still early for us. Pretty much
the ground. “I really want to be balanced. I really want our men to understand the physicality of this football game,” Babers said. “I don’t want to throw the ball 100 times and run it two times. I can do that but I don’t want to. I don’t think it’s fair to the young men.” Three different receivers accumulated more than 100 yards receiving: Ryan Burbrink, 132, Roger Lewis, 148 and Ronnie Moore, 109 yards. James Knapke finished the day with 443 yards passing and three touchdowns but that stat sheet included three interceptions as well. “We really don’t target one guy,” Babers said. “We
every person on the team got at least a couple pointers on what they can do better and how they can do it better.” The first regular meet opens up Mid-American Conference play against Ball State. Before that, at the Tom Stubbs Relays, the Falcons will see other MAC teams in Akron and Toledo. Martin said she appreciates the chance to have the meets like the Orange and Brown and Tom Stubbs Relays where she can see the progress of the team. “It’s important for us to start test all of the things we are working on under kind of a higher-pressure situation,” Martin said. “It’s another way to kind of break into the season and keep testing some of the things we are asking them to do under racing conditions.” The next meet for the Falcons is Friday, Oct. 3, and Saturday, Oct. 4. The Tom Stubbs Relays is on Friday while the Jean Campbell Alumni Meet is the following day.
run plays, we see what the defense is giving us and we take advantage of those situations. I thought that James did a really, really nice job. Obviously we had a couple of interceptions but they have some good DB’s.” The Falcons were finally able to get the elusive road win they have been seeking this season, now they are 1-0 in the MAC before their homecoming game on Saturday. “We are a good team, we just won on the road. You aren’t allowed to call yourself a good team until you win on the road,” Babers said. “We proved that we could go and take a game from a team that was desperate for a win.”
many costly errors. Had the Falcons had a more fundamentally sound game, the score may have been substantially higher. Tony Mazzarella said the Falcons played a sloppy last 20 minutes. “We improved some things offensively. We really broke down on our discipline, though,” he said. “They [Ball State] played better than us in the second half. If we want to beat better teams and go on to win bigger games, including a MAC [Mid-American Conference] championship, we have to show more discipline.” BG goes on the road to Mount Pleasant, Michigan, to take on Central Michigan University next Saturday. The Falcons look to correct their little mistakes in practice this week and apply those improvements on the field.

The defense for the Falcons remained strong, keeping the Bonnies off the scoreboard after they had scored two goals in their most recent game prior. The effort lowered the Falcons’ average goals per game allowed to just .556, after allowing just five goals through nine games. The Falcons are now 7-2, good for the best record in the Mid-American Conference, and will look to sharpen their skills as their first MAC game against Akron, the second best team in the conference, is just two weeks away.

VBALL From Page 4 “This was another tough loss for us knowing that we could have and should have won at least two sets that we led up until 20 points,” Tomic said. “We have to get mentally tougher to be able to close sets.” Bates finished the match with 11 kills, five blocks and four digs. Freshman Michaela Gabanic added a career-high seven kills

on a .429 attack percentage. Slimko finished with nine kills and as many digs. Sophomore Madeline Garda led the Falcons with 17 digs. “We had some positive individual performances, but until all six players fulfill their role on the court and execute the game plan, we will continue to struggle,” Tomic said. “It is still early in the MAC and we will get back in the gym and work on things that we have to improve to get ready for Miami Thursday.”

PLANET From Page 2 seamless. In the middle of the Planetarium f loor is a machine Smith calls the Star Projector. It’s another method that the Planetarium can show images of the sky. Smith said that the Star Projector makes the stars in the projections sharper, but the full dome system has a clearer image since it is newer technology. The show “Two Small Pieces of Glass� is projected using the full dome system, but two shows that will be running later this year will be using the slideshow system. The slides fill up the whole dome but are not comparable in the same way to the full dome system, Smith said. One show, “Galileo: the Power of the Telescope,� will be showing from Dec. 2 to Dec. 9. The other will be the 25th annual showing of “Secret of the Star: A Show for Christmastime.� “The Christmas season show is a mixture of science and culture,� Smith said. Smith said he has created many of the classic slideshow programs for the Planetarium. “I try to connect astronomy to everyday life,�
“It’s been very rewarding. I love it. If people wanna chit-chat about displays [then] I just love talking science with people.� Lindsay Lesh Nontraditional Student Smith said. On Fridays and Sundays after the Planetarium shows, the public can also attend a stargaze, weather permitting. Students working for the Planetarium are titled as Planetarium Console Operators. Junior James Faisant said that many of the students that work as Pla neta rium Console Operators are hired by Smith from the group of students that work as stargazers. Nontraditional student Lindsay Lesh said that stargazers set up the 0.5meter telescope in the Observatory, give a brief talk in the red room about what’s in the sky that night and lead people to the 0.5-meter telescope to view the discussed planets, moons or stars.
Lesh said that some students taking certain astronomy classes have to attend stargazes as well. During student stargaze session, they also set up extra telescopes and help students with any extra credit they might have. Lesh is bot h a Pla neta r ium console operator and a stargazer. Faisant is a double major in Business and Computer Sc ienc e. Although the Planetarium doesn’t relate to Faisant’s major, he still likes working there. “Astronomy is somet h i ng I’ve a lways been interested in,� Faisant said. According to Smith, students with a variety of different majors have worked at the Planetarium. Lesh is a Physics major with a Math, Computer Science and Astronomy minor. She said that she was approached for the Planetarium job because she had shown previous and immediate interest in the job. She a lso creates the glass display setups in the lobby of the Physical Science building where the Planetarium is located. “It’s been very rewarding. I love it,� Lesh said. “If people wanna chitchat about displays [then] I just love talking science with people.�

website calling for the University to open a vegan dining facility. The petition pointed to the University of California at San Diego and the University of North Texas as examples of campuses who successfully introduced vegan dining options. “It’s time for BGSU to join this emerging trend so that we can maintain our status among the most forwardthinking schools in the nation,� according to the petition. The petition reflected an increasing percentage of college students who value having vegan-friendly options.

As far back as 2004, 25 percent of college-age respondents to a survey from food service company Aramark said vegan options were important to them. PETA in pa rticular gave the University praise, giving a “Compassionate Campus� award to Universit y Dining Services for its dedication to plant-based menu options. Paulus said the award is purely incidental. “Obviously it is flattering to receive recognition from both organizations,� Paulus said. “Our incentive is only to make our students happy.� Paulus said while vegan and vegetarian options are available throughout campus, additional specifically vegan dining stations could be introduced based on student need and preference.
