In 1964, a series of education amendments were added to the Civil Rights Act. Title IX of this amendment reads, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Title IX has been in place in colleges across the country since it was instated. The University has taken Title IX and created a University policy that states that discrimination regarding disability, sex or gender of any student, staff, faculty, administrator or contractor is not condoned. In an address to the Undergraduate Student Government, University Title IX Coordinator Barbara Waddell stressed the importance of Title IX awareness. Waddell also pushed the importance of reporting these charges, saying that the University takes Title IX complaints very seriously. A violation of Title IX can come from any form of bullying, sexual harassment/assault or discrimination due

Associate Professor Jeremy Wallach isn’t the typical run-of-the-mill staff member here at the University. He’s an ethnomusicologist, which means he’s an anthropologist who studies music. When visiting his website, jeremywallach.com, one can find that he’s a well-known author and editor of books regarding heavy metal music. An article on deathmetal.org discussed how Wallach got his name noticed worldwide by studying heavy metal before it was cool. In an interview with the website, Wallach shared that he listened to rock in high school and was drawn to the heaviest of the rock songs, which eventually lead him to loving metal. “I’m about as old as heavy metal,” Wallach said.

University provides support for homeless residents Financial woes, unsupportive families among reasons for at-risk students By Cassie Sullivan Assistant Managing Editor

To some, a homeless person is not someone an individual can relate to easily. But on a college campus and in a college town, those who have faced or are facing homelessness are more relatable than some might think. For the two years that she had her one bedroom apartment, sophomore Heather Jividen took in individuals who were homeless. Ranging in the ages between 19 and 32, these individuals were new to the Bowling Green area, had or might have lost their jobs. Jividen didn’t expect anyone to pay to live, but they were expected to find jobs and get on their feet. But, quickly, the tables were turned. When Jividen switched jobs and was working at a minimum wage job, rent and bills started to pile up. While she was still able to make rent and pay her bills, then Jividen’s dad passed away and
she lost some support from him. While Jividen managed on her own, she was forced to move out of her apartment because the lease was up and, to Jividen’s knowledge, they had not shown her apartment to anyone and she couldn’t renew the lease and going home to her family was not an option. Jividen went from helping the homeless to being someone in need. Cyndie Roberts, the Assistant Director for Retention Services comes into contact with students who show academic signs of underlying issues that faculty members notice. “Sometimes, things present as academic difficulties and that’s really how I tend to get involved,” Roberts said. “Although, I tend to have some referrals from faculty who might have a conversation with a student, in which the student divulges something about not having a home and then that faculty member will say to them, ‘Is

it alright? I think I know someone who can help you. Is it alright if I give someone a call?’” Roberts picks apart the pieces of the puzzle, where she can potentially help a student about one aspect of their story. Roberts also refers a student to someone else who might be able to help the student get into contact with different places where they can receive help. “Oftentimes, it’s not just one thing that is an issue. If I start peeling away the layers of the onion and I start asking questions and listening to what I’m being told, I can find out an awful lot about a student just by that extra little bit of time and that extra question,” Roberts said. Roberts said sharing information about students who are in a difficult situation is getting better. “We’re getting much better at sharing information throughout the campus, among different pro-

Ferguson verdict sparks university discussion series Students gather to discuss their thoughts on non-indictment of Darren Wilson

However, many of the individuals whom the Title shelters are not aware of the benefits and protections it brings. In the spring semester, the University will release a comprehensive Title IX training that is similar to the alcohol awareness and sexual assault training that first year students must complete and submit before their first day of classes. First year students are required to complete a compacted training titled “LawRoom,” which the University secures from an outside source. The new United Educators Title IX program will become available to these students after their first year. Jacklyn Wells, a doctoral student in the Office of Equity and Diversity, said the office has been working with United Educators to achieve such a training program. “Our office hopes to establish a comprehensive educational program for students, faculty and staff,” Wells said. Senior Anna Voinovich said she thinks the new training will clear up some misunderstandings of sexual assault. “I think a lot of people think that sexual assault is simply attacking someone,” Voinovich said, “but there’s a lot more to it.

Jacklyn Wells | Doctoral student educational for those who aren’t aware.” While Wells stressed the importance of the new training, she said it will not be mandatory. The training will be monitored and surveyed when sophomores through graduate students have completed it, Wells said. According to a pamphlet distributed by the Office of Equity and Diversity, their office in the McFall Center and the Office of the Dean of Students are available for students to contact in the event of Title IX violations. Other resources available are campus police and the Bowling Green Police Division. The University also has centers available such as the Sexual Assault Awareness for Empowerment [SAAFE] Center, the Wellness Connection and the Falcon Health Center. “It is time for the BGSU community to change the way we think about sexual assault,” Wells said. “We shouldn’t approach the training or our conversations with guilt and [a] need to meet requirements but with an attitude of care, empowerment, and [a] need to change the way we talk about sexual assault in our community.”
Following the announcement of the no-indictment of officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown last Monday night, students gathered that night and the day after to stage a protest. The University has responded to student reactions about Ferguson with a discussion series. Kevin Lewis, senior and former president of Black Student Union, said the protest was significant because it happened the same night of the grand jury announcement and allowed students to express their opinions. “It was so powerful to see the number of students that took the time out of their night schedules to come and

They may talk to an individual or they may display behavior, which causes concern to an adviser or an instructor, a RA or a hall director,” Roberts said. Another way for a student to get the help they potentially need is through the Counseling Center. Patricia Helyer, a student assistance advocacy specialist with the Counseling Center is the Ohio Reach Liaison for the University. Ohio Reach is a statewide organization that aids students who have been a part of the foster care system and helps get them into post-secondary education. Helyer’s role at the University is to look after students who have come through the foster care system, along with students who find themselves needing help. She also acts as a social
stand together in protest of the decision. Although it was late and the night was cold, students in attendance responded well. They really fed off of each other’s pain, frustration and confusion,” Lewis said. Lewis said he was aware of the students who did not take too kindly to the protest or didn’t understand the purpose. “Social media had a huge impact on the protest. Both positive and negative outcomes were associated with social media use when these demonstrations were first occurring,” said Lewis. “There was an array of racist posts targeted directly at the black students involved in the protest. Social media gave students the confidence
worker that is available to any enrolled University students. One of the issues Helyer has run into while working with at risk students is that they do not know that the residence halls close down during certain breaks. “Students don’t know that they have to make arrangements to stay on campus. It’s not part of their bill already. They have to pay an additional amount,” Helyer said. “You may have not accepted enough financial aid to do that when you accepted your financial aid package.” Another issue Helyer has run into while working with students that have encountered homelessness or potential homelessness is that there is some kind of event that affects the students to the point in which they don’t have a home anymore. “Mostly, they’re off campus students who face this issue. It’ll be some traumatic event that has happened. Sometimes, unfortunately, it is a student who has informed their parents
and position to state how they really feel about their peers and their lived experiences in light of the Ferguson events.” Lewis said that students shouldn’t be afraid to voice opinions and that the University has a responsibility. “The University needs to not allow the feelings and concerns of their students to go unnoticed and then forgotten. Conversations allow students to get their thoughts out.” Dr. Emily Monago, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, agreed that social media has an impact on students during these types of events. “Social media can inform, but it also perpetuates mis-

Other times, it’s simply a money problem. “A lot of other times, it’s simply ‘I don’t have enough money to pay my rent, I’m getting evicted. I’ve used up all of the friends’ couches and I have nowhere to be,’” Helyer said. “That’s a real issue because Bowling Green, the city, does not have a shelter.

became homeless herself through a mix of situations that put her into a bad position. Right now, she is living with a former homeless individual she had helped before and managed to get onto their feet and get a job and an apartment. Jividen believes that she is not the only student at the University who is homeless and still attending school, and she knows that she isn’t the only person in the community who is homeless right now. “I know I’m not the only one that is going to college and is homeless. In fact, I know I’m not the only one in this town. I’m positive there [are] quite a few of us out there and that’s because the cost of attending college is so expensive,” Jividen said. While the cost of attending a college is high, Jividen said it’s important for students to remain in school, regardless of their situation. “There’s an endgame, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel as long as you stay in school,” she said.

LONG WAIT
Day of holiday meant to be celebrated with family, not appropriate time to shop Last week, despite my hesitation, I joined my family — along with about 137 million other Americans — in the holiday shopping frenzy known as Black Friday. Even worse, I also shopped on Thanksgiving night, a newer installment of the consumerist craze that is referred to as “Gray Thursday.” I decided to shop on Tha nksgiv ing night because my mom and sisters were going — it was family bonding, I reasoned — and I had no interest in watching the football game that dominated the TV in the living room. So, with my wallet in one hand and a stack of advertisements in the other, I ventured out into the bustling world of zealous Christmas shoppers. Between the aisles, I witnessed minor scuffles, hostile discussions, shopping carts rammed into heels and surly sideways glances, all in the name of Christmas cheer, occurring just hours after giving thanks for the many blessings we already have. Granted, the shopping spree was, in fact, an enjoyable way to spend time with my family over Thanksgiving Break and the long lines provided plenty of time to talk and catch up with one another. However, the closer I got to the checkout, the more muddled my thoughts became. My attention

drifted from the conversation at hand and instead I found myself crunching numbers and factoring in my paychecks and savings. I allowed these matters to consume my thoughts on the one day of the year that is set aside for giving thanks. Here we stood on Thanksgiving night — with shopping carts as full as our bellies and still digesting our turkey dinners — and there was no mention of the current holiday whatsoever. Just deals and savings. We were willing to brave the cold, the traffic and the masses to get our hands on the “perfect gift” on Black Friday [and Thanksgiving night], all the while cutting short our at-home holiday festivities in order to focus on what’s next: Christmas. It’s no wonder that companies begin advertising their deals and discounts before Halloween, implementing many different marketing strategies. In fact, according to data provided by the retail site Polyvore, consumers began their online Christmas searches as early as September 28. And unfortunately,

“How is it that consumers will shop on a major holiday, for the next major holiday, with no regard for the present?” it’s not merely a holidayrelated mindset, as certain companies begin advertising and selling their bathing suit lines as early as February. So why is it that, because we are so fixated on the future, we miss the very things that are happening right in front of us? How is it that consumers will shop on a major holiday, for the next major holiday, with no regard for the present? If only people observed Thanksgiving the way they do their own birthdays: celebrations with families and friends that last all day, celebrations that are not willed away in anticipation of what’s next. It seems as if most individuals are prisoners, thinking only of the future or living in the past. In hindsight, perhaps the key to surviving the madness of the holiday season is to be present and not to worry about buying presents on Thanksgiving.

Must accept reality of racism in society to improve race relations in the future The fires in Ferguson may be extinguished, but the anger of its denizens yet smolders. In my heart of hearts, I knew that officer Darren Wilson would most likely not be indicted by the grand jury, but I still hoped that maybe, just maybe our justice system would be able to at least do that much. Even if it wasn’t going to lead to a conviction, the symbolic act of an indictment would have meant a lot to many, many people. Nevertheless, in a turn of events that no longer really surprises anyone, Wilson was not even charged; not even brought to trial. Just how commonplace this has become is shameful. It marks a true failure of a system when a certain police department refuses to hold one of its own accountable for his actions even as the city they’re supposed to be protecting becomes a violent, fiery ghost of its former self. So many of us were so quick to condemn the riots and even more of us were even quicker to deny that race plays a factor in what happened in Michael Brown’s death. The truth is that white and black people in this country live in two different worlds. In the world of white America, I do not need to fear systemic discrimi-

nation by certain police departments or wanton brutality against me because of the color of my skin. It is bitter irony of the worst kind to see so many of my white friends quote Martin Luther King Jr. from the comfort of their suburban homes. He said, “Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that,” which is certainly true, but most of the people quoting this are only doing so to ease their consciences and would have been more than happy to march lockstep alongside J. Edgar Hoover and denounce King as a communist and a dissident if we were back in the 1960s. King also said, “Riots are the language of the unheard.” He did not approve of or condone riots and neither do I, but to expect anything less in the wake of yet another systemic injustice like this is simply naïve and it shows how out of touch both sides are with one another. If we want lasting change, we have to be honest about the reality of the situation. Race exists, racism exists and we have been conditioned to believe in it
“Michael Brown’s death is a painful reminder that the post-racial pipe dream fed to us through the media is a lie and that we still have a long way to go...” whether we think so or not. Of course there are other factors like police accountability that need to be addressed, but at the heart of things, the United States has yet to come full circle about its legacy of racism that pervades our culture and our justice system to this day. Michael Brown’s death is a painful reminder that the post-racial pipe dream fed to us through the media is a lie and that we still have a long way to go as far as race relations are concerned. We have won and lost many battles, so the war continues. To see that it is won, we as a people will have to collectively accept the shame of our past so that we can create a future that future generations won’t feel the need to sweep under the rug.

Number 14 ranked BG hockey team will travel almost eight hours to face the 19 ranked Northern Michigan Wildcats on the road this weekend. The Falcons enter this Western Collegiate Hockey Association matchup with a 10-3-1 overall record, and a 7-1-0 record in conference play. The Wildcats have an 8-3-1 overall record and a 5-3-0 record in WCHA play. This is the fourth consecutive week that the Falcons have been nationally ranked. They are one of four WCHA teams ranked in the top 20, including Minnesota State, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan. BG currently has a three-game winning streak and they haven’t lost on the road since Oct. 12 against the Miami Redhawks. The last time BG and Northern Michigan played each other was last season and the Falcons won 3-2 on the road after leading 3-0 early. The Falcons lead the all-time series against the Wildcats 41-39-7. BG is also 3-2-0 in their last five matchups. In BG’s last game on Nov. 22, the Falcons earned a weekend series sweep against conference opponent Bemidji State. Freshman goalie Chris Nell improved his record

Falcons begin new season on the road Track and field team looks to build on previous success By Jamar Dunson “The big thing is Reporter building on our The BG track and field team momentum from last looks to continue its success from last season as they head to season.” Eastern Michigan for the EMU Holiday Meet. Sophomore Makenzie Wheat, among others, is looking forward to the warm-up before the first meet of the season. “I just want to get better,” Wheat said. “[Throughout my freshman year], I learned the process and what I need to do to be successful at meets.” Wheat will be competing in the shotput event, where she came in sixth place last year. The Holiday meet consists of 10 events such as the weight throw, shotput, triple jump, 200 meter and 1600 relay races. Despite BG having an experienced team, the bulk of the runners are still relatively young. In the 31 events the team will compete in this year, 11 of those will feature a majority of freshmen runners. “The big thing is building on our momentum from last season,” head coach Lou Snelling
Lou Snelling | Head Coach said. “In a lot of ways we use the indoor season to build into the outdoor season and hitting all the marks to qualify for the MAC championship.” The veterans of the track team all have experience in the big meets. There are currently six student-athletes that have scored in the MidAmerican Conference indoor championship. Some of these athletes include redshirt sophomore Taylor Rambo, junior Andrea Arnold, redshirt senior Brittany Sinclair and junior Demetra Taylor. “In general, specific thing has been conditioning all fall season,” Snelling said. “We’re still building fitness and we want to see where we’re at”. This meet will be a good test

Women’s basketball team looks to rebound after second loss By Aaron Parker Reporter
Following a win over UC Irvine and a loss to Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, the Bowling Green women’s basketball team will return home to play the University of Cincinnati. Despite a loss in their most recent game, the Falcons will go into the Cincinnati game off of their best shooting game of the season. The team shot 40.8 percent from the floor on 20-49
shooting. Being more consistent with that type of shooting has been a point of emphasis for the team going into their sixth game. “I think we’ve strung a lot of better minutes together offensively and defensively and that’s a goal,” head coach Jennifer Roos said. “I’m never going to ask this team to play 40 perfect minutes or make every shot but we put good minutes together and we need to have longer stretches
of that. I believe this team can shoot well and it’s going to come together sooner than later.” The team was also perfect from the free throw stripe against Loyola, but only attempted three shots. On average the Falcons shoot 13 a game and are 76.4 percent on the season. “I want to get to the foul line. I want to shoot and make more

Yakking it up

App’s anonymous nature allows for positive, negative interactions By Kathryne Rubright Pulse Editor
On Nov. 24, when the decision not to indict Darren Wilson in the killing of Michael Brown was announced, some students protested peacefully. Others posted derogatory comments on the anonymous app Yik Yak. Yik Yak is one of several apps that allows users to make anonymous posts. People can anonymously vote on and reply to posts, but only those made in their geographic area. The Bowling Green feed got more negative throughout the night, said Kaylyn Collier, who manages external affairs for Black Student Union. At first, people used the app to ask what was going on. Then posts, or yaks, like “Everybody should go to sleep,” and “No one can hear you,” started appearing, Collier said. The yaks got negative, and untrue. “Now they’re in the Union breaking TVs and rioting,” was an example Collier gave. The negativity wasn’t unexpected. “I was not surprised at all,” Collier said. “My organization has already been attacked on social media before.” The difference this time was the complete anonymity of the attackers. “It gives people courage and this invincibility,” Collier said. According to the app’s “Rules & Info” page, users can report yaks that are “useless or offensive.” In some cases, police response to yaks has been necessary. The LA Times reported that San Clemente High School went into a four-hour lockdown this past March so that a bomb squad could search the campus after a bomb threat was posted on Yik Yak. Another lockdown happened Nov. 20 in response to a shooting threat at Torrey Pines High School, also in California. Since geographic location is an essential part of the app, the developers blocked the app from working at middle and high schools. The app can be used for good, though. Tech Cocktail reported that at Vanderbilt University, a student used the app to promote a drive where people could get their mouths swabbed to find a person who could give a blood transfusion to a lymphoma cancer patient. The app’s creators are hopeful that that’s the type of result that will happen more often. “Anonymity can be a really beautiful thing, and one of the reasons we made it anonymous is it gives people a blank slate to work from, so you’re not judged on your race or sexuality or gender,” said Yik Yak co-founder Brooks Buffington during an interview with CNN. “On Yik Yak you are purely judged on content you create.”
Media Review: “Dog Sees God” By Cassie Sullivan Assistant Managing Editor
For some, “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” might bring back strong childhood memories of the ‘Peanuts’ gang and the wisdom of the little kids. The play “Dog Sees God” ages the childhood characters into teenagers, trying to find their places in the world. “Dog Sees God” is an unlicensed play about the ‘Peanuts’ gang, following the deaths of two characters, as told by CB [Zack Robb] in a letter to his pen pal. CB mourns over the death, questioning heaven or hell as he and his friends go through high school and encounter many different issues teens are faced with today, like drug use, teen pregnancy, abortion and death. A moving performance put on by Lionface Productions, “Dog Sees God” has many emotional ups and downs for the audience. One moment, the audience is laughing along with the humor in the play, then finding themselves saddened by an event or by bringing something back from the original ‘Peanuts.’ The chemistry between CB and CB’s Sister [Nicole Tuttle] showed, to me, how true siblings argue, especially when both are upset over the same things. At the end though, they were able to put aside their differences and show their love for each other. Along with the brother and sister relationship, the friendships between CB and Matt [Michael Portteus] and CB and Van [Joshua Powell], while a bit gross in ways, was true in some
manners, along with how CB was able to reconnect with Beethoven [Griffin Coldiron] as a friend and more after Beethoven’s past is addressed and it’s explained why he was no longer friends with a majority of the gang. The actors behind the characters clearly put a lot of effort into becoming the characters and being able to portray the sadness, the anger and the hatred the characters felt for one and another or for the situations they were placed in throughout the play. While some of the names for the characters have been changed due to copyright laws, it is clear throughout the play which characters are which, or it become clearer as the play SHEILA HOEGLER | THE BG NEWS goes on. The tales told go along ZACHARY ROBB (left) and Griffin Coldiron (middle) rehearsed in October for “Dog Sees God.” The play is directed by Ryan Albrecht (right). perfectly with the characters. While it might not be the happily ever after anyone would want for their characters, it still paints a picture of a kind of reality that some might see in City and University host various forms of entertainment today’s society. Overall, the play is worth seeing and revisiting the childhood memories of the ‘Peanuts,’ along with seeing and learning about “Heckman and a Real Lamb!” “Dog Sees God” The Phillip Fox Band the lives post-comic strip for the The Plastic Shatners improv show Play put on by Lionface Productions Country/rock and roll group gang.

The BG swim and dive team goes on road for MAC meet By Katherine Wernke Reporter
The Bowling Green swimming and diving team will compete in a MidAmerican Conference meet this weekend in the Eastern Michigan Collegiate invitational. While the team may not be seeing the same competition they will face later in the championship meet, they will have a chance to get used to the location: the same location of the MAC championships later in the season. Head coach Petra Martin said this meet will give the team an opportunity to have a dry-run before the real thing. “This is our opportu-
HOCKEY From Page 5 to 4-0-0 as he made 33 saves in the winning effort. Mitch McClain, Matt Pohlkamp and Sean Walker recorded goals in the game. With the win, the Falcons have won six of their last seven games. BG now has three conference sweeps before the month of December this season; the first time since the 1994-1995 season that they have accomplished this. BG’s penalty kill currently ranks third in the WCHA and are currently 49-for-53 on the penalty kill this season. They killed all nine of Bemidji State’s penalties and have successfully killed 22 straight penalties.
nity to swim in the same pool, stay in the same hotel, eat the same food, get the logistics down, what’s going to be happening in a couple months and get everybody comfortable and adjusted to what’s going to be happening later down the road,” Martin said. Martin said she scheduled the invitational for that purpose. “We swam Eastern, but we swam them at Oakland, otherwise we’re not going up there at all this year,” Martin said. “So this is our opportunity to get to that pool and to get everybody situated.” Aside from getting extra preparation for MAC Championships, the
The last time the Falcons gave up a power play goal was Nov. 8 against Alaska. Last weekend, Northern Michigan traveled to Fairbanks, Alaska to face the Alaska Nanooks. The Wildcats lost Friday’s game 3-0, however they won Saturday’s game 4-1. Northern Michigan’s goalie Mathias Dahlstrom recorded 29 saves in Saturday’s win for the Wildcats. Dahlstrom has a goals-against average of 1.19 and a save percentage of .952%. Northern Michigan finished their four-game stint in Alaska with two wins and two losses. Friday and Saturday night’s games between BG and Northern Michigan in Marquette, Mich. will begin at 7:07 p.m.
women will also continue gaining experience in the pool. After finishing 9th out of 17 teams in the Georgia Tech Invitational, Kristin Filby is hoping to finally perfect certain techniques. “I think my goal is to try to get those times again and be close to them,” Filby said. “I think a lot of people have a lot of things to work on that we learned from Georgia. So I’m expecting just to be working on those little things, especially our relay starts.” The women have had away meets since the first dual meet in October. Despite being away, sophomore Victoria Griffin said the travel does not affect the team anymore.
“I know that the first away meet is always the hardest, because it’s kind of like getting back into that [situation],” Griffin said. “But I think now we’re kind of used to it so I don’t think it’s taking a toll.” Martin said this meet is important for the pre-MAC Championship experience, but also to continue success in the season. “We’re not really changing that much,” Martin said. “I mean there are some things that some people can do better. Otherwise the approach is the same. We’re treating it as a get-ready meet for the end of the season.” The invitational begins on Dec. 5 and continues to Dec. 6.
foul shots than the other team attempts. It’s the stat I look at first after every game,” Roos said. “It talks about our level of aggressiveness and I think we’re an extremely good foul shooting team.” Leading the team in the past few games has been redshirt junior Erica Donovan. Donovan is averaging near a doubledouble in her last four outings with 16.3 points a game and 9.3 rebounds a game. “I’ve just been out there playing,” Donovan said. “I feel as an individual I just need to keep my head up and continue to make my teammates better. Everything else will just come to me.” Cincinnati is a team even younger than Bowling Green, coming into the game with just two seniors and two juniors in their

lineup. The Bearcats are also on a five-game losing streak, three of them by double digits. With both teams fluctuating their lineups, the Falcons will look to take advantage with their chemistry. “It doesn’t bother me who’s on the floor,” Donovan said. “Chemistry is one thing that’s been stressed out since our off season. It’s been really good coming from our freshman and sophomores, especially considering that we are such a young team and the fact that we lost a lot of skill set from last year.” Tip-off is at 2 p.m. this Sunday in the Stroh Center.

WALLACH From Page 1 “Most people date the official beginning to the first Black Sabbath Album. Most people involved in the studies are about my age.” Wallach officially got his start studying heavy metal when he went to Indonesia and discovered how popular heavy metal was there. “I realized that nobody knew about this at home,” Wallach said. This lead to his first book “Modern Noise, Fluid Genres: Popular Music in Indonesia.” In 2008 Wallach attended a conference about heavy metal in Austria, where metal studies was born as an academic discipline and has exploded since. According to metalrulestheglobe.com, Wallach’s book Metal Rules the Globe is a compilation of academic essays about heavy metal, which he coedited with two others. The book talks about the growth of metal across the

A group of 30 faculty and students gathered to discuss the situation and reconvened as a large group to discuss answers to three questions

In an interview with The Eastern Voice, Wallach said, “Often the music is targeted because it is seen as a threat to social order instead of as a response to already existing social tensions; in other words, it makes a convenient scapegoat.” “There didn’t seem like any real possibility with getting away with studying this,” Wallach said. However, after 11 years at the University and even more spent studying metal, Wallach has
provided. Christopher Mitchell, pastor and AIMS coordinator said that open dialogue and evolving is key. “I always say that if you’re the smartest person in your circle, extend the circumference of your circle to gain more knowledge,” said Mitchell. Bryan Wynn, University police officer, said he sees both sides. “As an African-American and as a police officer, I get both perspectives,” said Wynn. “Often police officers feel that their badge makes them a macho Superman but in reality it doesn’t. We need to be cautious when we assess situations and unfortunately in this case that didn’t happen.”

become involved in the cross-cultural phenomenon pretty centrally. Wallach said that being in the Department of Popular Culture is one of, and maybe the only way, of getting away with studying heavy metal. “We study things that other people aren’t brave enough to study,” he said. As far as teaching at the University, Wallach’s favorite class is Dinosaur and Popular Culture. He shared that he will be teaching it next semester for the first time in four years and would love to fill the class. Dr. Wallach and his office mate Dr. Clinton are working on a book that looks at metal race and ethnicity. It is also an edited volume, a lot like his second book Metal Rules the Globe. Dr. Jeremy Wallach is also working on two essays. The first discusses metal and politics and power, and the second involves the rituals of fandom and how important it is for fans of metal to get together to discuss the music.
