A Ticket to the World World Student Association hosts International Dinner for students, faculty to explore different cultures By Denny McCarthy Reporter
Those interested in cultures from around the world bought their tickets resembling a boarding pass and prepared to see the world Saturday night. They weren’t getting ready to leave for a flight; “Around the World in One Night” was the theme at the 40th annual World Student Association’s [WSA] International Dinner in the Union ballroom. The dinner, which about 300 people attended, took place from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and was held as a way for the WSA to kick off international education week. The event was one of the many events planned for the week of cultural celebration from Nov. 17 to Nov. 21. “It’s a big thing we want to do because of everything that’s going on – around campus and even around the world – with issues

Students may have a hard time managing their own budgets for their home expenses, but imagine being in charge of budgeting over 300 different student organizations. The Student Budget Committee meets for two full weekends every spring to decide how much funding each student organization will receive for the upcoming year. The committee is made up of nine students and two cochairs, as well as an administrative advisor. “The Student Budget Committee is charted with listening to proposals for funding for the upcoming academic year,” said Vice President of Student Affairs Jill Carr. “They have to listen and decide how much each organization gets next year.” One of the co-chairs Reece Timbrook said that the committee handled $420,000 to delegate to the different organizations this past spring. Organizations can come in during the two weekends and present for 10 minutes. During that time, students tell the committee how much they would like to be funded for the next year and explain why. “It’s very stressful,” Timbrook said. He said this past spring, the different organizations asked the committee for over $1.5 million in funding. “It’s OK though because we have an established list that can help us delegate money,” he said. “The list has things we aren’t allow to fund from the University.” Even so, they had accidentally over-allocated money by $100,000 and had to go back and cut more money to make their budget. “It was extremely difficult to cut and be fair,” he said. After they finish their meetings, the committee forwards their recommendations to the Office of Campus Activities and Dean of Students to approve. “They take the recommendations very seriously, but the final decision is with the Dean,” Carr said. They also have bi-weekly “spot funding” meetings, where organizations can ask for funding for things like a specific event coming up. “The spot funding is easier,” Timbrook said.
A FLAG ceremony opened the event. Flags from over 30 different countries were displayed.

HOLIDAY EXPO
Event hosts overnight community fundraising walk, as well as games, activities to raise money, provide entertainment for people participating in race By Myah Lanier Reporter
The Relay for Life Cancer walk was hosted Saturday night in the Perry Field House. Henry Weinert said he joined his daughter on the walk to a new journey to voice his story. “When I was first diagnosed with cancer, I felt scared and hopeless,” he said. “You have all these questions but as they are answered, you get a little less afraid.” Some of the participants joined because they were survivors or
cancer patients, but others such as Ashley Hulthaus, one of the overseers, said she joined because it hits home for her. “This is something I’m passionate about,” she said. “My family has had its fair share of cancer as well as a friend of mine.” As some participants said cancer was a major part of their family lives, some said cancer was new to their family. “Cancer doesn’t run in my family at all,” Weinert said. “So this was a shock to my family and my kids took the news pretty hard.”

Orientation Leaders help introduce students to their new homes, influence decision Program aids prospective students to fresh beginning at University, assists in adjustment period By Chris McGowan Reporter
Micheal Dodge, like many students, had trouble making the decision over what college to go to. Dodge, a first-year student, ultimately made his decision based on his experience at his orientation. “I remember when I first went on the campus tour. It seemed like the campus was really nice, but it felt really distant to me at the time,” he said. “When I went to orien-
tation in June, I really fell in love with [the campus].” Orientation, a process that every student goes through, is an integral part of transitioning new students to college, said Dean of Students Jodi Webb. “The program is designed to help transition prospective students to BGSU.” Webb said. “By the time they get [to BGSU], they’re usually committed to coming. The program helps set the stage for the new students.” The best way to do that,
Webb said, is through the use of Orientation Leaders, students who help introduce the University to new students. “I have a lot that I could tell new students,” Webb said. “No matter what though, incoming students want to hear from current students. They find information more interesting when it comes from current students” Being an Orientation Leader is a big job, Webb said. “We want to make sure
that the Orientation Leaders are well-prepared to educate incoming students,” Webb said. The program is currently midway through its hiring process that’s slated to finish sometime before finals week, said Assistant Dean of Students Jessica Huddleston. The Orientation Leaders are selected based on filling out an application, a group interview and a one-on-one interview, Huddleston said. “What I am looking for is for students to be them-

American Marketing Association hosts 5K to raise money for children Over 61 people race in Harvest Hustle to help special needs children play in sports about the mission of this organization. “We are very happy to help spread the word about RallyCap Sports and it is very exciting to lend a helping hand to another organization that is housed in the College of Business,” he said. Luke Sims, president of BG RallyCap Sports, said RallyCap Sports was started 20 years ago by BG alumnus Paul Hooker. “He started it in New Jersey,” Sims said. “It’s grown to about 120 kids and he came to the College of Business at BGSU because he wanted to see the program grow and impact more lives.” RallyCap Sports at BGSU kicked off in October with an event where 37 participants and more than 90 volunteers came together for a day of
soccer, flag football and golf. This is the first year that BGAMA has hosted a 5K run and Luke Sims said events like this are important for the support of non-profits like RallyCap Sports. Greg Hermes, president of BGAMA, said that despite the freezing temperatures of 25 degrees Fahrenheit, runners were all in a very positive mood and overall the atmosphere was very fun and exciting. “We had a total of 61 people sign up for the race and we had around 40 actually run or walk with about 10 people volunteering to help,” he said. Freshman Ann Howard said participating in a 5K like this is a great way to help support a cause but also stay active in the morning. Hermes said BGAMA
“Most the groups know the rules and what is required, which is really good and helpful.” Timbrook said it’s important that students are in charge of allocating the money to the organizations instead of administration. “The money comes from the general fees students pay,” he said. “So it only makes sense students should control the money. It’s easier for administrators to lose sight of what students want. We see campus from the same angle.” Carr also agrees it’s better to have students involved. “It’s absolutely wonderful for students to be involved with the allocation of student money,” she said. He also understands that the committee can’t make everyone happy. “There are times when we don’t have enough to fund even if we want to,” he said. Also, if students feel unhappy with the decision, they can submit an appeal.
selves. There is no cookiecutter mold for this job; let us get to know them. We’re looking for what a student brings that is unique. That’ll only happen if they’re being their true selves,” Huddelston said. There is no distinction made between applicants of different years in this process, Huddleston said. “First-year students will have just gone through orientation and thus be

Carr and Timbrook stressed that every organization is given the same opportunity for funding through the proposal process. “That’s my job,” Timbrook said. “To make sure everything that happens is fair.” Timbrook said the Student Budget Committee has received the same funding three years in a row. “Student organizations are growing faster than what we can give them,” he said. “They can meet all the rules and requirements and we want to fund them but we can’t do it because we don’t have the money.” He said it is hard because most students in the committee are also in organizations, so they understand the frustrations of not getting the funding they want. In order to be apart of the committee, students have to apply through the Office of Campus Activities. “I wish more people were aware of the committee and tried to apply,” Timbrook said.
would have to crunch some numbers first before announcing how much money was raised, yet he said a minimum of $200 will be given to RallyCap Sports. Sims said RallyCap Sports will use the money towards its plans of expanding the program to other campuses around the nation. “We plan on opening up many more chapters like this here at BGSU at other universities and hope to impact many more lives,” he said. “We have a local donor who is actually going to match that dollar number so we can get a nice chunk of change that will help us move forward.” Thanks to the success of its first 5K, BGAMA currently plans to turn the Harvest Hustle 5K into annual event.

After upsetting West Virginia, Falcons drop title game to Akron By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor
Nearly three months ago the BG men’s soccer team was beginning its 2014 season with minimal outside expectations. Now, 21 games later, the team finished its storied season. Picked to finish fifth of six teams in the MidAmerican Conference and miss out on the MAC tournament, the Falcons started the season 6-1 and had the nations leading scorer. The team went on to win eight more games and earn a spot in the MAC tournament in which they defeated the 35th ranked and two-seed West Virginia in the opening semifinal round. Having lost to the Mountaineers 2-1 earlier in the season, the Falcons displayed their resilience one more time by getting a 3-2 victory in overtime. Their fifth overtime win on the season. “This team has a lot of belief, a lot of belief in each other,” said head coach Eric Nichols. “We didn’t come here just to be participants; we came here to win the tournament and nothing’s changed.” Pat Flynn opened the scoring in the 34th minute with his team-leading 14th goal for the season. However, West Virginia answered with two quick goals to open the second half. With their backs up against the wall, Jacob Roth took and converted a penalty kick with 8:39 remaining in regulation. The goal tied the game at 2-2. Scoreless over the final minutes, the game went to overtime where Max Auden received a pass from Flynn that allowed him push one past the Mountaineer goalie just 59 seconds into the period. The golden goal gave BG the win and moved them into the MAC championship game. “It’s just the semifinal. We still got another game we’re looking forward to on Sunday,” said midfielder Max Auden. Waiting on the other semifinal game to finish, not knowing who they were to play, the team understood that either team would present a tough challenge. “The MAC is a brutal conference,” Nichols said. “It’s certainly not going to be easy, whoever we see.” Two days later against 27th ranked, one-seed and

The Falcons lead the power play to give the Falcons a 2-1 majority of the game 1-0; however Ohio State scored three goals in the last five minutes of regulation to beat the Falcons. Forward Brent Tate scored in the first period with assists from Tyler Spezia and Dajon Mingo to give BG a 1-0 advantage. Ohio State answered with two goals late in the third period to give the Buckeyes a 2-1 lead. Then, with less than two minutes in regulation, Brent Tate scored again to tie the game at two. Ben Murphy recorded an assist on that goal. “It’s always good to contribute. It feels better when you contribute and get a ‘W’, that’s for sure,” Tate said.

the Falcons killed all four penalties on Friday night. “It was an unbelievable crowd. I want to thank everybody, students and fans alike for coming. Unfortunately, we didn’t play our best,” BG coach Chris Bergeron said. On Saturday night, the teams traveled down to Columbus to finish the weekend series at Ohio State. This time, the Falcons won 3-2 to defeat Ohio State on the road. Freshman goalie Chris Nell made 27 saves in the win for BG. His record is now 3-0-0. “He hadn’t played in a while. To see him play the way we played tonight, it’s got to be a confidence boost for Chris (Nell),” Bergeron said. The Falcons scored again scored first with a goal from Mike Sullivan in the first period. This was the
advantage. Captain Dan DeSalvo and Pierre-Luc Mercier recorded assists on the play. The Buckeyes answered with a goal late in the third period to tie the game. But, Brandon Hawkins scored the game-winning goal at the 17:20 mark in the third period to give the Falcons a 3-2 victory on the road. “We’ve had really good third periods this year. We had a good period tonight,” Bergeron said. “It’s nice to see us respond and rally that way.” With the win on Saturday night, BG improves to 8-3-1 overall and the Buckeyes are now 3-6-1 on the season. This was the BG’s first win on the road against Ohio State since 2008. BG will be back home at the BG Ice Arena this Friday and Saturday night to play the conference opponent Bemidji State. The puck will drop at 7:07 p.m. on both nights.
Men’s basketball opens season with balanced road win against Drake Jans wins first program win in his home state
By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
Saturday was a special day for men’s head basketball coach Chris Jans. Not only did he win his first game as the Falcons head coach, but he was able to do it in his home state and in front of what he said was more than 200 people there to support him. Despite all of that excitement friends and family described him as relaxed he said. “I took a lot of advice from friends and family. Most of it was ‘Hopefully you are going to be doing this for a while’ and enjoy it,” Jans said. “I wanted to enjoy the experience.” All of that was put aside once the whistle blew and from there it became just basketball. “Once you get into the flow you just coach your team,” Jans said. The Falcons 77-58 win against Drake Saturday marked their first season opening road win in almost two decades. They had 12 players score and four
players score in double digits. Jehvon Clarke led the Falcons with 16 points off the bench. Richaun Holmes followed him with 13 points and a game-high five blocks. “We have a lot of talent on the team and Coach Jans does a great job of putting different people in positions to be successful,” Holmes said. “Everybody knows their job within the system and we just try to go out there and try to be aggressive.” The depth of the Falcons, which has been talked about all offseason, stood out against the Bulldogs as their bench had 45 of their 77 points. Led by Clarke’s 16, Jovan Austin also came off the bench with 10 points of his own. Those 45 points outscored Drake’s bench by 32. “[Jans system] allows us to show our true abilities on and off the ball,” Clarke said. “It’s a great system for the type of players that we have.”

I’m not a particular fan of labels, but I suppose if you were to categorize me, I tend to lean liberally and vote democratic [though I won’t discredit a conservative view simply because it’s conservative]. I’m not a particular fan of getting into political debates simply because they can turn heated and uncomfortable quite quickly. One of the main reasons I aspire to be a political journalist is because I get to share both opinions without making it messy by including my own. However, this does not mean I read the papers and online articles without carrying an opinion. I know when to speak up. I will not hesitate to share my view if I deem the situation appropriate. I am proud of this country and how our constitution enables to me to have a voice. I am grateful for the women who fought for my right to vote and gave me the hope that

one day I will be able work in the government alongside the great men and women of this free country. I know that being a woman in politics is hard. Government is and always has been a boy’s game, but I always figured that when I was able to make my debut appearance on the White House lawn, girls would start being drafted first pick. It never occurred to me that women themselves would succumb to the stereotype of dumb blondes who are more interested in “The View” than the Stock Market. I never thought that my gender would play such a significant role in the decision for me to open my mouth and talk or to keep it closed. I recently read an article by
Julieanne Smolinski titled, “Don’t Be The Worst: How To Talk Politics With Women”. At first, I was excited to dive into an article that had promise to be empowering, but I was quickly disgusted as I read the words that encouraged women to go back to their couches watching soap operas with quotes such as, “It’s possible to talk politics with a woman and still get her into the spoon position even if she’s not perfectly aligned with your every ideological curve,” or, “The fact that our country is in rough shape but that others are far worse off is something we can come together on, to laugh at before we have drunk sex.” Not only was I extremely annoyed; I was offended. I don’t even care if this is on some sleazy men magazine’s website [written by women, of course. This specific article under the section “Men’s Lives”], the objectification of a woman’s mind portrayed by this article
is something I never want to see again. For decades, women have been silenced, laughed at, mocked and ridiculed by men who have collectively decided that women should keep their mouths closed and their legs open. What kind of self-respecting woman would want to succumb to the shame of complete and utter mockery that men have placed upon us? I don’t argue and discuss politics so I can get laid. I argue and discuss politics so I can make a difference and so I can have my voice be heard, like many women in the early 1900’s one day hoped for. Politics is no longer something men get to discuss behind closed doors. The ball is in our court now. It’s game time. Respond to Michele at thenews@bgnews.com
Certain notions about sexual assault flawed, need reevaluation Recently, a number of sexual assault allegations towards Bill Cosby have come to light after years of being ignored. According to CNN, victims have been coming forward for the past nine years, but only now are the accusations getting widespread attention. One of the victims, Barbara Bowman, wrote a piece in The Washington Post about her sexual assault by Cosby, further detailing the aftermath and explaining why she had [and continues to have] trouble getting justice. Bowman, who was seventeen at the time, was an aspiring actress and Cosby an already well-established star. She claims Cosby acted as a “father figure” towards her, successfully gaining her trust, only to assault her “multiple times”. She recalls one case in which she was in denial about the sexual assault, attributing the situation to being “part of the deal” of having Cosby

make her famous. In another instance, Cosby was more aggressive with her and as she screamed for help, he gave up, called her a “baby” and sent her home to Denver. For years she tried to get people to listen and to believe her story. But, due to a lack of evidence, her initial charges were dropped and few people took her seriously. Since Bowman has stepped forward, many people have dismissed her claim, citing the lack of evidence as proof that she is lying about the assault. Her story is eerily similar to thousands of cases of sexual assault that occur each year; the trusted figure, the lack of evidence and the refusal to believe the victim are common themes in a standard

case of rape. The notion that a woman who cannot prove she has been raped is lying [and that her perpetrator is therefore innocent], also, is a common theme which needs to be reevaluated. Initially, this seems like a logical conclusion; as a society, we live by the rule “innocent until proven guilty” [generally speaking] and if she cannot prove the rape, clearly, the alleged perpetrator is not guilty. But this is not as logical an idea as one may be tempted to assume. Rape is excruciatingly difficult to prove. Unless the rapist has been violent and has left marks for police to investigate, there is very little chance that a rape victim will even be believed, let alone get justice. The fact of the matter is most cases of rape are not violent. They are more likely to occur among friends and acquaintances and most of the
time the victim is manipulated into performing an action they never wanted to do, leaving little evidence for police to investigate. Even if the perpetrator’s semen [if he is a male] is found on the victim’s body, clothing or at the scene of the crime, that is still not enough to prove rape, as it could have been the product of consensual sex. I understand the general concern about lying and getting innocent people thrown in jail, but automatically assuming that a victim who cannot prove they’ve been raped is lying is no solution. Such a conclusion is formed by a lack of understanding of the circumstances surrounding most cases of rape and only adds on to the burden that victims carry, an unnecessary consequence of an already disheartening situation.

Falcons drop season opener to Bucknell University Women’s basketball starts season 0-1 with missed last-second three point attempt
By Tara Jones Sports Editor
It all came down to a shot senior Deborah Hoekstra made thousands of times this summer. The play before, Hoekstra, who was 3-for-4 from behind the arc at this point, let a triple fly that was good, but got waved off due to a traveling call. Hoekstra would get a second chance at the same shot, but it bounced off the rim with four seconds left, giving Bucknell the 53-52 win Friday night. “It was a great look,” Hoekstra said. “I’ve practiced that shot probably 20,000 times just last summer, but it just wasn’t meant to be this game.” Having just made the previous shot that was waved off, head coach Jennifer Roos said her team all knew the plan for the last-second attempt. “That group knew what
we were going to run, we were all on the same page. They nodded to me and were like ‘Yeah, let’s go for it,’ especially Deborah,” Roos said. “She’s going to knock that down more times than not. She wanted that shot. I wanted to give her that shot.” Senior Jasmine Matthews had a look under the basket to go for two or a chance at the free throw line, but Roos wanted to take the three and not give Bucknell a chance with the clock dwindling. “With the way the game was being called, had we thrown the ball anywhere else I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to get the call to get to the foul line or be able to get a quick score,” Roos said. “The way they were scoring at the end, I really wanted the last shot more than anything else.” Though Hoekstra may have had a hot hand for the Falcons, the same cannot
be said for the team. The Falcons shot just 29.6 percent from the floor and 23.1 percent from behind the arc. Bucknell faced much of the same shooting woes, going just 39.2 percent and 28.6 percent. Combining the shooting troubles, turnovers and foul trouble, the Falcons had too much to overcome. “When you get limited touches and they’re scoring off of your turnovers at the other end, it’s just a bad combination,” Roos said. “I thought we were a little bit more conservative in the second half on what we ran, which actually didn’t help us a ton because then we settled into just shooting the three every possession down.” The Falcons looked to playing more of an insideout game, Hoekstra said, but redshirt junior Erica Donovan picked up her third foul at the 18:09 mark
BG places 13th at NCAA Regional meet Women’s cross country achieves regional goal behind Rae’s performance; men’s team gets boost from Black’s 2nd place finish By Jamar Dunson Reporter
The BG women’s cross country team achieved its goal of ranking in the top 13 teams this weekend at the NCAA Regionals in Wisconsin. Junior Becca Rae ended her year on a good note, finishing first for the Falcons in 64th. Her performance helped the Falcons finish ranked number 13. “It went pretty well,” Rae said. “Wish I placed a little bit higher, but I’m still definitely happy with the performance.” Her place was the best single performance since the 2007 season and one second short of the fastest time ever recorded by a BG athlete at a championship event. Rae was followed by sophomore Brent Darah tying his season personal record of 21:43 and redshirt junior Jasmine Redman
SOCCER From Page 3 host school Akron the Falcons looked to keep their season alive once again. Outshooting the Falcons 13-3 in the first half, the Zips maintained possession for the majority of the first 45 minutes. The team was definitely on its heels, Nichols said. However, the BG defense managed to keep Akron off the scoreboard for a 0-0 halftime score. Then, 20 minutes into the second half, Jacob Roth put a free kick chance into the back
came in third with a time of 21:49. “I was happy with how they ran today,” Head Coach Lou Snelling said. “In terms of the goals we set for the meet, we achieved many of them. From a numbers standpoint, the improvements from last season were impressive.” Snelling also said he looks forward to the track and field season with all of the female runners returning. “We are excited about what we can accomplish next year … there is a lot of potential with this team.” In their lone 10,000 meter race of the season, freshman Kohl Taberner led the men’s side for the fourth time this season. He finished with a time of 32:20, coming in 107th overall and 27th among the Mid-American Conference runners. The men finished 26th out of 30 teams. Senior Greg Black finished in second place with
a time of 33:06. This was his last race as a Falcon as he’ll graduate this semester. “It’s a tough loss losing Greg,” said Assistant Coach Greg Thatcher. “He’s a good player and he was a leader on the team.” Despite the loss of the senior, Thatcher was proud of the team’s performance. “I was pleased, the guys did a tremendous job,” said Thatcher. “We’re excited that, individually we’re seeing some results that are stuff that we can be proud of.” Thatcher also gave credit to freshman Taberner for rising up in the final race. “He did a tremendous job, he stepped up in a big way,” said Thatcher. Thatcher said the main objectives heading into next semester were staying healthy and raising the level of training. For Thatcher, they can see more personal records broken if they achieve these goals.
of the net near the right post from about 60 yards out to break the scoreless tie. The lead lasted just 28 seconds before the Zips got a penalty in the Falcons’ box resulting in a penalty kick chance. Adam Najem converted the opportunity and tied the game at 1-1. Moments later, in the 79th minute, Akron pushed in another goal off of a rebound to give them a 2-1 lead. Despite some looks at the goal, the Falcons were unable to get one more shot past Akron goalie Jake Fenlason, causing their season to come to a close. “I thought we put in a good
effort and we ran into a really good Akron team,” Nichols said. “We came here to win the tournament and we knew in order to do that we were going to have to beat some very good teams.” The Falcons were unable to get the last win against Akron, but it didn’t stop them from having one of the better seasons in BG history. Now, despite the loss, the team is excited about moving forward. “In that final game, really coming close enough to where we could taste the championship, it’s going to be motivating moving forward,” Nichols said.
of the second half and spent much of the game on the sidelines. “Erica is our go-to girl,” Hoekstra said. “She makes things happen, so not having her in there, it effected more than just scoring.” Donovan, along with Matthews, was scoreless against Bucknell. “Tonight we were only able to get scoring from a few kids and that’s going to hurt,” Roos said. “It’s a no-brainer statement, but the fewer kids that score, the fewer points that you’re going to get.” Though the Falcons have to improve on both ends of the floor, the team will have to work on its offense to gear up for their next game on Nov. 18 against Iona. “We will have to get back to the drawing board a little bit and figure out how we can have a better balance between attacking outside and attacking inside,” Roos said.
MEN’S From Page 3 While the bench made a large difference in the game, the starters were the ones who got the Falcons on the board early and often. Holmes started the game with a jumper on their first possession. That 2-0 lead would expand and expand, as the Falcons would never trail in the game. An Austin jump shot seven minutes into the first half gave the Falcons their first double digit lead of the game. “It’s very important for us to get out to a good start. Coach Jans always says ‘it’s easier to play from ahead than behind,’” Holmes said. “We always want to come out with energy, get a good start and put ourselves in a position to win early.” The Falcons would go on a 12-1 run late in the first half giving them a 45-26 lead with one minute left in the first half. They would go into halftime leading 47-31 and never look back. Drake cut the lead to 16 with 11:58 to go in the second half. That is the closest they would get as the Falcons responded with seven straight points of their own, pushing their lead right back to 23. From there the Falcons walked to their first win of the season, shooting 51 percent from the field, including 40 percent from behind the three-point arc. The Falcons will be back in action Nov. 19 in their home opener against Wright State: tip-off is set for 4 p.m.

Volleyball’s season comes to an end with weekend losses Falcons drop matches to Ohio, Kent State during weekend to miss MAC tournament By Hampton Crawford Reporter
The season is over for the BG volleyball team as they dropped both games to Ohio and Kent State during the weekend, making them ineligible for the conference tournament. BG finished the regular season with a 7-21 overall record with a 4-12 conference record. In the teams’ first game they faced off against the top team in the Mid-American Conference in the Ohio Bobcats where they lost in three straight sets. BG was not able hold back the dominance of the Bobcats and could not execute their gameplan. “We knew in order to beat Ohio, we had to run a very disciplined and efficient offense,” said head coach Danijlea Tomic. “Unfortunately that did not happen ... and the final score was the result of that.” BG stood their ground in the first set, but lost 25-20. In the second set, BG held firm against the Bobcats taking a lead at one point 16-11. But Ohio ramped up the intensity with a 7-0 run and took a 20-17 lead. The Bobcats finished on a 5-3 run to win the second set 25-20. The Bobcats then rode the momentum all the way to the finish line as they cruised by BG in the third set 25-14 to get the win and remain undefeated in conference play at 15-0. BG struggled mightily throughout the game getting a team low .067 attack percentage and only garnering 23 kills of the contest. The team had some good individual performances from sophomore Madeline Garda who had 25 digs. Seniors Erica
Fullenkamp had 20 assists and three aces and Kelsey Bates had four kills and four blocks. With the loss on Friday, BG was officially eliminated from the MAC tournament. “Great teams are able to prevent their opponents from executing their game plan,” Tomic said. “We had one of our worst offensive performances of the year against the best team in the conference ... and that’s what happened to us.” BG then closed out the season in its final game with a loss to Kent State 25-23, 25-22, 27-29, 25-20, a team that they previously swept at home. In the initial set, the Golden Flashes went on a 6-1 run to end the set with a 25-23 win. Kent State then went on a 3-0 run to close the second set out. In the third set, BG won 29-27 after a Golden Flashes error followed by a kill from freshman Nicole Slimko. In the fourth, Kent State finished it off as they went on a 9-2 run to end the set and the match after BG was up 18-16 at one point. BG finished with sophomore Jelena Sunjic and Slimko posting 15 kills while freshman Paige O’Connor had 10 kills and Garda had 24 digs. Despite ending the season in a loss Tomic was proud of how her team played over the course of the season. “I am proud of the team and how hard we fought,” Tomic said. “We have grown so much as a team this year and the future is bright for our program.” The BG volleyball team will now enter into the off-season bringing back 11 of the 13 players looking to improve and become a force in collegiate volleyball.

RallyCap Sports created by alumnus, brought to University Program helps children, adult with special needs participate in sports Corey Maxwell Reporter
The University has unveiled a new recreational program this fall that allows children and young adults with special needs to participate in athletics. The program, RallyCap Sports, was started by Paul Hooker, a 1975 graduate from the University and Luke Sims, a senior business major. The idea for RallyCap came from Hooker who created a similar program in New Jersey called Challenged Youth Sports. He wanted to bring it to his alma mater so he pitched the idea to Ray Braun, dean of the College of Business and then that’s where Sims got involved. “We decided the best thing to do was to get one started in Bowling Green,” Sims said. “It needs to be at colleges for growth because you have facili-

ties, tons of volunteer potential and tons of people.” RallyCap had their kickoff event in October at Perry Field House and the event had close to 40 children there with special needs and over 100 student volunteers. “The kickoff went really well and now we are finishing up the soccer session of it and we’re going to try and get this to universities across the nation,” Sims said. Each soccer session is just like any other soccer practice, according to Sims. The children and the volunteers stretch and participate in ball handling, passing and goal scoring drills. The participants each get a t-shirt and a cap. At the last session of the season, every child will receive trophies. “We’re very excited about the children receiving trophies because

Many qualifications are needed if one wants to be a part of this program, Webb said. “People have to be comfortable in a group, they need to be able to work without constant supervision, and most importantly they need to work well together,” Webb said.

Sims stressed that it’s less about the children being good at sports and it’s more about them being able to be social. “We’re less concerned with sports accolades or truly the sport itself. We’re using RallyCap Sports as an avenue to create an opportunity for healthy living, building confidence and our most important feature, social integration,” Sims said. “A big part of the program is each participant that comes gets buddied up with a volunteer so there’s a lot of one on one interaction which is very cool.” Sims added that the encouragement the participants receive from each other and the volunteers is a really big part of

The application deadline for next summer’s orientation has already passed, but it will be open for anyone to apply next fall.

Student athletes participate in canned food drive University collects food, monetary donations for holiday season
By Jon Stinchcomb Reporter
For just over an hour leading up to the University’s big hockey game against the visiting Ohio State Buckeyes, another team of Falcon student athletes set up shop just inside the doors of the ice arena. The softball team battled a different sort of foe on Friday night. They were literally, as the name would suggest, “Falcons Fighting Hunger.” All throughout this past month of November, various athletic programs at the University have been participating in the annual Falcons Fighting Hunger food drive. The effort, which is
largely organized by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee [SAAC], is used to collect both canned goods and monetary donations for the BG Christian Food Pantry. “They service so many families,” said Marissa Tashenberg, a graduate assistant in student-athlete services and coordinator for the food drive. In preparation for the upcoming holiday season, this time of year often has an increase of those in need, she said. Carmen Young, a senior member of the swim and dive team, as well as president of SAAC, said seeing all the athletes interact with the community while giving back has been a
great experience. Young stressed just how important charitable efforts like this are and how these contributions from the University’s athletes allow those values to standout among the student population. “They’re really taking the time out of their busy schedules to come out and give back to the community,” she said. Ta shenberg sa id she liked people working together. “I liked the merging of BG, the athletics and the community, all together,” she said. “And to be able to see we are one town and we’re working together for

When they make goals, it’s high fives all around but even when they miss they still are being encouraged.” The winter session for RallyCap Sports will be a different sport and right now they are leaning toward basketball and baseball and they will have either a four or five week session for both. There are plans of expansion for RallyCap Sports as there has been interest from universities such as Ohio State, Cincinnati, Toledo and

Other universities are very aware of what the athletes are doing here and how involved they are.” Mariana Mitova, faculty adviser at the University, expressed her excitement

for the program and its future. “It’s exciting for the families too because seeing their kids be happy makes them happy,” Mitova said. “We’re planning on taking it nationally and we’re really excited about that.” The program has brought togetherness of both the children and the student volunteers. “One of the really cool things about the program is that it does something that not many other organizations can do which is bring people together,” Sims said. “The focus is on the kids and because of that you’re able to bring together different people. It’s a really neat atmosphere of volunteers who are really passionate.” More information on RallyCap Sports is available at rallycapsports.org.

WSA From Page 1 that people are having with other cultures,” said World Student Association Vice President Kiara Esselman. “It’s just something that we try to do every year because it helps for us.” The dinner began as students carried flags from different countries into the ballroom, followed by a speech by University President Mary Ellen Mazey. “We’re here tonight to celebrate multiculturalism, because that’s what it’s all about in the world today,” Mazey said. “We all must appreciate each other’s beliefs, values and what we can do together to build not only this great University, but the country and the world.”

Getting their face out there, thanking people that come watch them play
The World Affairs Council officially recognized 12 departments and international student organizations as participants of the event, including the Latino Student Union, Office of Multicultural Affairs and International Student Services. Mazey said she is proud of their collaboration. “The students that we have here tonight have played a very, very important part of putting the entire event together,” Mazey said. “It has been their organization and we’re here to celebrate them.” Performing at the International Dinner were 10 international student acts, including a fashion show featuring traditional clothing from different cultures, a poem by Natasha Ivery, Sri Lankan dance,
reading of a Hungarian folktale and songs from The Lion King, performed by Juan Pimiento and Catheline Longoria-Perez, among others. Food served at the dinner was an assortment of cultural staples from France, India, Africa, Italy and the Middle East. International Student Services Assistant Director Andrea Voogd, who also spoke at the dinner, thanked the WSA and volunteers for organizing the event. “Everyone is from somewhere, so we all have accents, right?” Voogd said. “[The WSA] are proud of where they’re from and they want to take us to a place that’s inclusive and diverse and where we can all be proud of our accents.”
every week and hearing, ‘Oh my gosh, we see them at our games.’” But the volunteers and coordinators also said they recognize that not every at these sporting events will be carrying around a spare can of food. “I think we’ve been getting a lot more monetary donations,” said Emily McClelland, a senior member of the softball team. “That’s usually how it is. Students don’t usually throw tons of cans in their pockets.” Tashenberg said the problem is not everyone knows about the food
drive. “Not everyone’s going to know about the food drive and others aren’t going to want to carry around a bag of canned goods from their dorm to get into the stadium,” Tashenberg said. “But they are always extremely generous after that. Just any little thing they could give, I think they have tried.” Even so, the drive has still remained successful. “We’ve been doing it every year and I think every year it gets more and more successful,” Young said. “We bring in more money and more cans every year.”

said. “I feel really good today, but it wouldn’t be a good thing to do since I had treatment today.” While some aren’t able to finish, others said they would finish for them. “Cancer is a disease that does not sleep,” said Kevin Lewis, a walker. “I will help others finish by continuing to walk for them.” Lewis said it was an honor to join such an amazing event because, even if he lives cancer-free, it’s still something that has affected his family.
“It feels good to be in the same environment with so many people who are willing to walk for those that they love and for those that they don’t know,” he said. The fundraising goal was reached and participants were glad to be able to donate and to help patients fight cancer. “For people who are trying to fight cancer, stay positive,” Weinert said. “A lot of it is your spiritual being; how you feel inside has a lot to do with it.”
