Collaborative efforts push packages to Union
BRIEF
Health inspectors find 11 critical violations at football game
The company in charge of the concessions for the athletic events is called Sodexo. Sodexo is not affiliated with the dining halls throughout the University campus. The University will look to improve on those violations and work with the Wood County Health Department to serve high quality food Kielmeyer said. “High quality food service is an important part of the excellent fan experience BGSU is committed to providing to those who come to our games. Fans can be confident that BGSU will hold its food service vendors to the highest standards,” Kielmeyer said. “We very much appreciate the Wood County Health Department bringing this to our attention.”
Health inspectors found 11 critical violations at the concession stands at Doyt L. Perry Stadium in last weeks football game. “Bowling Green State University is aware of the citations the Wood County Health Department issued for food services provided by Sodexo, the food service vendor for BGSU Athletics,” University spokesman Dave Kielmeyer said in an email. Inspectors checked nine stands and found 11 critical violations total. One stand did have zero critical violations, that was stand number five.
Residence Life and Campus Postal Services change to meet staff, distribution needs By Cassie Sullivan Assistant Managing Editor
One of the changes in residence halls this semester is the place students have to pick up their packages. Rather than the front desks of residence halls, students now have to pick up their packages at the front desk of the Union. Part of a collaborative effort between the Office of Residence Life and Campus Postal Services, the
change is to meet staffing and distribution needs within residence halls. “The efficiencies of staffing needs and labor made the determination that moving to a centralized package pick up would make distribution easier for students to get their packages more quickly,” said Sarah Waters, the Director of Residence Life. “We also will be better able to track packages when they get to campus.” Becca Simpson, a sophomore,
thinks the move is really inconvenient for the students and doesn’t like it. “I think it might make things easier for [the Union] to keep the packages organized and in the same area, but I live in Kreischer,” Simpson said. “Having to go to the Union to pick up a package is not very convenient for me. Instead of going downstairs to pick it up, I have to find time to go to

Two campuses, one school University architecture appears to be problematic, differentiates from other universities
By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor
As an academic institution, the University has quite the focus on campus athletics. As you enter Bowling Green from Interstate-75, you are immediately introduced to sports. Whether it be Doyt Perry
Stadium, the new Stroh Center, or the Anderson Ice Arena, sports are at the forefront of BGSU. “When I came here last year, as I pulled off I-75, I could see the stadium lights,” BGSU Athletic Director Chris Kingston said. “I instantly thought about the fabulous landmarks that BG had to offer. I knew I arrived at a great school.”
The nature of the football stadium is one that many students and fans identify with. The Doyt features a unique style of architecture being combined with the Sebo Center, thus, becoming an eyecatching piece of Architecture that Bowling Green identifies with. “It’s the first thing that you see,” senior Architecture and
Environmental Design student Sadie Webb said. “When you first drive into campus you see the Stroh and the Doyt and it gets you really excited to interact with that as a student.” While the appreciation for the cutting-edge athletic complexes is well-noted, the abnormally strong emphasis that BGSU has placed
on athletics has consequentially resulted in a problematic campus. “Off of the expressway you seen an iconic stadium and I think there is a certain amount of metaphor with that,” senior lecturer of the Department of Architecture and Environmental Design Scot

In part one of a discussion series put on by the University’s Ethnic Student Center, students and faculty met Wednesday, Sept. 10 to discuss the events that took place in Ferguson, Missouri this past month.

issues that are pretty current,” he said. Wednesday night’s discussion, led by Tobias Spears, assistant director for LGBTQA+ Programs, centered on the death of Mike Brown on Aug. 9 and the subsequent month of widespread protests and calls to action against police brutality. Discussions included the role social media had in the coverage of Mike Brown’s death, such as the Twitter hashtag, “#IfTheyGunnedMeDown,” in which black people juxtaposed pictures of themselves doing something deemed by society as

good next to something that is bad, Spears said. The role of due process was also brought up, with some members of the discussion wondering why the police officer involved in the shooting is “innocent until proven guilty” but Mike Brown was not. The fact that we need to wait for justice for so long in this case is a problem, Spears said. “Quite often, it is minority bodies when we ‘wait for the facts’”, he said. The politics of respectability were also brought up, where

University weddings not uncommon
Alumni come back, get married at alma mater By Jennifer Verzuh Reporter
“The University is like a second home to us,” alumnus Joel Coffman said according to an e-mail, which is why it made perfect sense for him and his wife, Allison [also an alum], to have their wedding on campus. The couple met at the University in a bowling class “of all places,” said Joel, and graduated with Bachelor degrees in science in 2005 and 2006. After dating for over three years they were married on May 25, 2008 in the University’s Prout Chapel, their first and only choice. It felt “natural” Allison said according to an e-mail, and was a great way to celebrate their Alma Mater, which they continue to visit and still holds a special place in their hearts. “Getting married on campus was perfect for Joel and I as a couple,” she said. “We celebrated our love at the place we met. It was a dream location.” Both said they would encourage other engaged students and alumni to tie
the knot on campus as well if the school holds special meaning for them. One couple for whom that is especially true is David Denison and Kaitlin Bur, 2013 alums who are also planning to hold their wedding ceremony in Prout Chapel in May. The pair met during their first semester at the University in their “Intro to Critical Thinking” course. A friendship was formed and eventually a relationship began. Years later, Denison proposed to Bur outside that same Olscamp classroom. “Both of us are proud to be BG alums,” Denison said. They still have a connection to campus as well, with Denison currently working for the University as an admissions counselor and Bur taking classes here as a guest student. While Bur said they were originally open to having the ceremony off campus, they ultimately felt Prout was the right choice for them. “Having it in Prout is

Counseling Center offers various types of counseling Focused on establishing goals with students, counseling different for each counselor By Cassie Sullivan Assistant Managing Editor
While senior Paige Bricker hasn’t personally used the Counseling Center, she would let her friends know about what services are offered. For students who are struggling or need someone to talk to, the Counseling Center is willing to help. Located in College Park, the Counseling Center is free and open to students who are in need of counseling of any kind. The center offers various kinds of counseling, from individuals, groups, couples and emergency services said Denise Litterer,

The center also offers suicide prevention, along with meetings for alcohol and drug use. “There’s a group specifically designed for assisting students who have any types of questions related to alcohol use and marijuana use,” said Simone Young, a PhD student working with the Counseling Center. When a student is interested in using the services offered by the center, they can go in during the walk-in hours, which are Mondays through Fridays, 1:30 p.m. through 4 p.m. At this time, students meet one-on-one with a counselor, where

they will talk about what will work for the student. What the counseling center wants to do is establish goals with the students. “We establish [goals] with the student; everyone’s counseling looks a bit different, depending on what’s going on for them, what they’re looking for. We work jointly with students
to set goals,” Litterer said. “Often students come in with their own goals and what they want to improve on.” Students who are interested but do not know if counseling is for them can stop in and speak to someone and are not obligated to return, Young said. Students can also call if they have any questions regarding the Counseling Center at 419-372-2081. “[If] students have questions or concerns about that process [becoming involved with the center] and about scheduling, they can also call us and we can talk through it with them,” Litterer said.
Sam Nousak, an AYA Social Studies major thinks the move from the halls’ front desks to the Union is a smart idea. “I think it makes sense. The residence hall already has a lot to do,” Nousak said. “I don’t get why it’s such a big deal to walk here [the Union] and walk back.” Students who have bigger packages that they may not be able to physically carry from the Union to their hall can arrange for their packages to be dropped off at their resi-
dence halls. “[I live in] Founders, which is probably why I don’t care. But I imagine the kids in Kreischer care a bit more,” Nouask said. Things that are fresh, like flowers, will still be delivered straight to residence halls, Waters said. Students receive an email notification when their package arrives at the Union. The shift from package pick up at the front desk to the Union “is a move in the right direction,” Waters said.

Pumpkin Starbucks, Panera offer pumpkin-flavored items early this fall By Ryan Hanson Pulse Reporter
Fall means that every food humans know and love will come in some form of pumpkin flavor. The Starbucks at the Union is no exception; they are offering up to ten different fall specials, half of which are pumpkin flavored. Items like the pumpkin spiced latte, pumpkin loaf and pumpkin scones came in early this year. According to Karen Piotrowski, manager of the Union Starbucks, they received their fall-themed stock just after Labor Day and began selling them right away. “[But] when the weather gets cooler we sell more pumpkin spiced lattes,” Piotrowski said. Some students seem to think fall creates an inspiring atmosphere. Qua’Shawna Smith, a Starbucks employee who stood in the notoriously long Union Starbucks line, said she loved the colors of fall. “The leaves make even ugly places look pretty,” Smith said. Students associate fall with pumpkins as well. Smith said that the fall season is associated with the orchard theme. Every season has its theme and fall is orchard, which means apples and pumpkins, Smith said. Von McKoy said that people are only going to go for pumpkins during the season.

Black swamp players kick off new season “Dearly departed” to be first performance
By Kathryne Rubright Pulse Editor
The Black Swamp Players will start their 2014-2015 season with a production of the comedy “Dearly Departed.” Cast member Ben Forman described the play as a “Southern comedy about a family with quite a lot of issues.” The play begins with the death of the family’s patriarch. From there, the play is about an “oddball family gathering together,” said director Lane Hakel. One oddball, played by Forman, is named Junior, the middle child of the deceased. “He’s kind of an idiot, but an idiot with big ideas,” Forman said. “Just not the brains to follow through.” Other family members include Royce, the nephew of

By the play’s end, the characters realize the importance of family, Forman said, and they’re in a better place than where they started. Though the play’s events are set in motion by a death, it isn’t a sad production. It’s a “hilarious play,” Hakel said, with “lots of clever one-liners.” One of Hakel’s favorite lines

is, “‘No one liked you before. What makes you think they’ll think less of you now?’” The cast of 11 people is larger than an average cast in a BSP production. First-time director Hakel praised the cast, saying, “They really inhabited the characters and made them their own.” Some cast members have performed in previous BSP productions. “Dearly Departed” is Forman’s fourth BSP show. He convinced his wife, Kristin Forman, to appear in a play for the first time. The Black Swamp Players have existed for nearly 50 years, Hakel said. He expects the group to stick around for years to come. Over the past few years, the average age of BSP board members has
decreased about 20 years, which is good for the “long-time survival of the group,” Hakel said. After “Dearly Departed,” the BSP will put on “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” Hakel said. The show could become an annual Christmas tradition. The spring portion of the season will consist of “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown” and “Death By Golf,” according to the BSP’s website. Audition information will be available on the website. Anyone can audition, Hakel said. “Dearly Departed” opens Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. Other shows are Sept. 13, 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 14 and 21 at 2 p.m. All performances are at the First United Methodist Church.

New shows, old favorites to return to answer questions asked last season
By Lauren Fitz Reporter
Something new is coming to Thursday nights on ABC. The popular Shonda Rhimes show “Grey’s Anatomy” will return for its 11th season, and her other popular show “Scandal” will return for its fourth season. However, new to the Thursday night ABC lineup is a new Shonda Rhimes show, titled “How To Get Away With Murder,” which stars Viola Davis from The Help and Matt McGorry from Netflix’s “Orange Is The New Black,” among others. With the newest addition to Thursday nights on ABC, the network is dubbing the night “Thank God It’s Thursday” and fans refer to the night as Shondaland Thursdays. With the new season of
“‘How To Get Away With Murder’ is going to be another jewel in Shonda Rhimes’ television crown.” “Grey’s Anatomy” [which moves time slots from nine to eight o’clock], fans are left with two major plot bombshells from the finale last May: what will happen to fan favorite couple Meredith and Derek, who had a massive fight about their respective careers, and how will Richard Webber deal with the knowledge that he’s had a child he didn’t know about for years who just started working at the hospital. For “Scandal” [which
moves from ten o’clock to nine o’clock, the big question is where in the world is Olivia Pope, who took off on a plane with Jake Ballard at the end of the season in April. This is also referenced in the released promo for Scandal, where re-elected President Fitzgerald “Fitz” Grant is trying to get ahold of Olivia Pope, only for a dial tone sound in the background. Another big question hanging in the balance is what will be the fate of Harrison Wright, whose portrayer, Columbus Short, was fired from the show in April of this year, and what will happen to Olivia Pope and Associates now that Olivia is no longer in the United States. What with “How To Get Away With Murder” making its debut at ten o’clock, viewers are introduced
to Professor Annalise Keating [portrayed by Viola Davis], a professor who teaches an introductory criminal law class or, as said in the extended promo from ABC, the class is more aptly named “How to get away with murder.” Shonda Rhimes shows have been popular with telev ision audiences throughout the years. The popularity of Kate Walsh’s cha racter, Add ison Montgomery, lead to the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff “Private Practice,” which ran from September 2007 through January of 2013. “Scandal” is a ratings success for ABC, and constantly creates trending topics on Twitter. According to many television reviewers, “How To Get Away With Murder” is going to be another jewel in Shonda Rhimes’ television crown.

STARBUCKS BEGAN offering their pumpkin spiced latte August this year, earlier than previous years.
PUMPKIN From Page 3 “[For example,] no one drinks eggnog outside of Christmas,” he said. Some items are only seasonal things, McKoy said. Starbucks could have a lot of involvement in the pumpkin craze. Student Katie Dewey said Starbucks started the pumpkin latte phase and everyone else followed. Dewey said she visits the Union Starbucks frequently. “You could say almost too much,” she said. Student Kaitlin Holian said she thinks because the pumpkin spiced latte is popular companies are trying to make other pumpkin flavored things for consumers. Whether or not Starbucks started the craze, students keep going back for more. According to Piotrowski, the same regulars return to the Union Starbucks for
their fall favorites consistently. This could mean that a combination of atmosphere, weather and routine drive students toward these pumpkin flavored treats. The manager at Panera Bread on South Main Street, Shay Nealia, said the pumpkin flavors might be so popular because of tradition. “When you think of fall you think of pumpkin flavored things,” she said. Panera Bread is also offering different types of pumpkin flavored foods, such as their version of the pumpkin spiced latte and a pumpkin muffin. Despite the craze, the variety of pumpkin flavored options is strictly a seasonal treat. Piotrowski said that it depends on how long they keep getting stock, but the Union Starbucks typically has the pumpkin spiced latte through the week of Thanksgiving.

toxic shock syndrome, nausea, depression, bone loss and in some cases, rips or tears in the uterus. It’s no wonder that some women opt out of hormonal contraceptives and that nearly 50 percent of all pregnancies are unplanned. Plus, given that men produce an astounding 1,500 sperm per second, it does in fact make sense to “unload the gun.” I believe Vasalgel to be the first of many doors to open for the male-focused birth control industry and this is nothing short of revolutionary. The future of effective, more healthful birth control is bright and I believe we will see more men taking contraceptive responsibility into their own hands in the future. However, there is one major drawback with use— the spread of sexually transmitted diseases due to a lack of condoms. Granted, I think it is a highly marketable product to a particular demographic profile. In the event that two people are healthy and in a committed relationship, a product such as Vasalgel could pave the way for worry-free family planning, as well as satisfying sexual experiences. But outside of this context, Vasalgel has the potential to cause rampant transmission of sexual diseases. Maybe condoms don’t sound so bad after all.

Rasicm prevelant today with all ethnicities, important to recognize in everyday scenerios IAN ZULICK COLUMNIST
When I first saw the newsreels and reports of the shooting death of Mike Brown, I felt much the same way as I had when Trayvon Martin was killed. As before, I was disgusted with the situation, but what happened two years ago on that fateful night in Florida was not some freak occurrence as so many of us would like to believe it was. And by “us,” I mean “white people.” Now believe me, I cringed while writing those last words as much as many of you will after reading them. Perhaps you will scoff or just get mad and indignantly flip the page, and while that bothers me, this needs to be said: white privilege is real. I know we’d much rather sit back and relax in our pajamas and watch Dr. Who and tell ourselves the lie that we live in a postracial society, because that’s what we’re used to. Because that’s what makes us feel no shame in watching footage of Mike Brown allegedly robbing a convenience store to collectively ease our hearts. I can’t speak for anyone else, but in my high school, racism was taught as something of the past. They never came out and said it, but that was the message. We talked about the March on Washington and read about the

Birmingham bombings, and listened to the “I have a Dream” speech, but what does that mean to a classroom full of mostly pale faces, honestly? We could study the historical context, talk about the horrific lynchings in the south, and we could appreciate Dr. King’s poetry, but we had no cultural roots, no personal experience, nothing with which to truly grasp his message. We didn’t understand. We couldn’t have. Though progress has been made, the reality is that America has yet to come full circle about the things we’ve tried to sweep under the rug of history. We’ve yet to be honest with ourselves about many things, but the most obvious one is racism, and it is something whose existence we must acknowledge and, more importantly, discuss. Yes, you and I are racist, and lest I be accused of being the clichéd, selfflagellating liberal that I may well be anyway, this applies to all races. This is not a black problem or a white problem, but an American problem. This conversation about race is one that must transcend our egos, our prejudices, and our pride. It is one we must have if we ever hope to be able to look at something like the killing of Mike Brown with any measure of objectivity or honesty. We don’t know at this point whether or not Darren Wilson himself is a racist, or that his killing of Mike Brown was racially motivated, but we all know
what we saw in the media. They showed him allegedly robbing a convenience store; they showed us pictures to try to portray him as a “thug” [but we all know what is really meant by that word, don’t we?] Are some of us so insecure in our whiteness that we have to assassinate and dehumanize the character of a victim just so we can push the possibility of a racial motive a little further from our minds? At the end of the day, I hope justice will be done for Mike Brown and all others involved, but just as with Trayvon Martin, the picture is always bigger. Strange as it might seem, it doesn’t matter so much whether these killings were racially motivated. What matters more is that interracial violence causes us to draw lines in the sand before any of the facts come out. There were many voices of reason in Ferguson, but many more numerous were the voices within ourselves that told us that it would be better to stay silent. No longer. If we want an America worthy of the next generation, we must end the silence and speak frankly to one another, so that if and when a similar tragedy ever occurs, we won’t look to tribalism and fear for answers, but to justice and truth. Even if the truth is one we might not want to hear.

This is a familiar situation for the 2014 Falcons, in the 2012 season the team started the year 2-4 before going to 4-7 and then winning nine straight matches to win the Mid-American Conference tournament. Head coach Danijela Tomic is not looking to the past, but rather the future and how this team will finish the season. “Ultimately, it comes down to what happens at the MAC tournament,” said Tomic. “You know the goal is to qualify for the MAC tournament then play our best volleyball in November and December.” For the Falcons this will be their second road tournament of the year and the hardest one to date as Wichita State ranks among the top 20 teams in the country in digs, along with host Creighton receiving 28 votes in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 Poll, and Pepperdine ranking 19th in the country in service aces. Although the path to victory will be tough, it will only help the Falcons as they gain more experience with each and every match on the road eventually heading back home. “We are going to get better as a team,” Tomic said. “We are going to learn from those matches and that’s it when we get home in about three or four weeks we should be a much more seasoned team than we were at the end of August.” In order for the Falcons to do that they will need be on point in their hit percentage since they are 2-0 this year when notching a .200 hit percentage

Around this time one year ago the Falcons held a 10-7 lead in the second quarter at Indiana University. Then, the Hoosiers scored 35 unanswered points on the Falcons to earn a week 3 win 42-10. The Falcons went into that game thinking they were the better team, but the explosive Hoosiers with three NFL players on that roster proved to be too much for them to handle. “It was an embarrassing feeling, it left a sour taste in our mouths the whole year,” redshirt junior Alex Huettel said. “Even after winning the MAC [Mid-American Conference you still think about the losses. That was probably one of the most embarrassing losses of the season.” In that loss the Hoosier offense ran for 266 yards and passed for 335 on a Falcon defense that was ranked as one of the top ten defenses in the country at the end of the year. “From the 11 starters from last year [on defense] we have four guys back who are going to play,” head coach Dino Babers said. “Their runningback Tevin Coleman is an NFL guy, we have a huge task in front of us. ” The Hoosiers had three other “NFL guys” on last year’s team that played well against the Falcons: receiver Cody Latimer who had six receptions for 137 yards and one touchdown, receiver Kofi Hughes who had 34 yards and one touchdown and runningback Steven Houston who ran for 155 yards. With the loss of Houston, Tevin Coleman has become the number one back in the Hoosier offense. In their week 1 game against Indiana State he ran for 247 yards and two touchdowns. “When you go against an NFL tailback you’ll figure out how good your rushing defense is,” Babers said. The Falcons defense has prepared all spring and summer against an offense that has played at a high tempo. The defense won’t have a problem with the Hoosiers tempo, Babers said. “It’s just the athletes they have and the space they can create with their offense that’s going to be the most difficult thing,” Babers said.” I don’t think we will have an issue on getting lined up, but with their football players there is going to be some issues.” Despite the Hoosiers’ skill players, the offensive line might be the strength of this team and they have combined for 135 starts among ten players. “I couldn’t add up all the starts they have ... They are a very complete offense,” Babers said. The Falcon defense is hurting with injuries across the board but the coaching staff as of Wednesday afternoon was still waiting for some medical information to come back, Babers said. The Falcons aren’t waiting for those players though. The players are embracing the “Next Man Up” philosophy the staff is telling them. “There will be times where a guy is out one or two or three weeks and the opponent you’re playing doesn’t have that hurt about those guys not playing,” Babers said. “What you need is a team of guys where somebody else is going to step up and make up the points and tackles somebody would lose on defense. I think we have a team and a family. I believe that if one guy doesn’t play another guy will step up.” As for the offense, the Falcons will look to build on the game against VMI. Along with that, they will need to be a physical group, Huettel said.

Bowling Green brings near-perfect record back home Men’s soccer team works to get legs back after long week
By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor
Starting the season 3-0, the BG men’s soccer team lost the final game of what was a daunting 3-match week on Sunday in a double-overtime bout against Duquesne University. The long week was a demanding one as the Falcons spent most of this week working on getting their ‘legs back,’ head coach Eric Nichols said. As the Falcons work on preparing themselves physically for their next game, they understand that there are still some aspects of their game that they
will need to clean up in order to carry their early success deep into the season. “As a team we need to work on defending as a unit,” sophomore Jacob Roth said. “We call it ‘real defending’ where we try to stand the offender up instead of just trying to win the ball.” The team understands that this will be a critical aspect to correct as the season progresses because it has already hurt them to date and the better teams will be sure to take advantage of their mistakes. “We got stung a couple times for not being tighter against Duquesne and we could have
been stung a few more times,” Nichols said. “The power house teams are going to punish us if we don’t tighten up defensively.” While there have been minor defensive miscues, the offense has remained a strength of the team thus far in the season. Whether it’s exploding for seven goals in one half, or falling behind early and battling back, the offense has consistently kept this team afloat. However, the superb offensive displays haven’t just come from solo breakaways. Instead, the Falcons’ passing has been

The Bowling Green tennis team will start its 2014-15 season at the Miami Invitational with new head coach Olga Elkin. The team will join Xavier University, University of Louisville and host team Miami University for the two day long event. The event will mark the beginning of the season for each team. The Falcons will begin the season for the first time in 24 years without head coach Penny Dean, who retired this past summer. However, Elkin has already proved herself during her two-year stint at Murray State before coming to BG. She led the Racers to an Ohio Valley Conference championship, an NCAA Tournament appearance, and was named OVC Coach of the Year. “I haven’t experienced winning a conference or going to the NCAA Tournament,” sophomore Harley Hutchison said. “It’s exciting to have a coach that’s experienced that and knows what it takes to get us to that next level.” Elkin will be coaching a young team that she feels confident in. They return four players, three sophomores and one junior. They also add four freshman to the roster. “We have a great group of new incoming freshman,” Elkin said. “They’ve been working really hard out here. I think they’re already doing a great job.” Drew Fillis comes into the season as the captain and leader of the team
just one summer after being one of the younger players. “She’s been doing a fantastic job out here in practice and with helping the new ones,” Elkin said. “She had a great group of girls to learn from with Nikki [Chiricosta] and Emily [Reuland]. It was a good group to guide her into being an upperclassman.” The junior won 24 of her matches last year with 13 wins coming from doubles matches with now graduated Emily Reuland. “I’m going to miss playing with Emily because our games complimented each other really well, but I have played with a bunch of other people before,” Fillis said. “It will be different playing with someone else but it will work.” In addition to Fillis, the team will also benefit from the return of Hutchison, who won 27 matches as a freshman. “I’m really excited for this year. I’ve been training and practicing all summer just trying to get myself ready,” Hutchison said. “I hope I have as much success as I did last year.” This first invitational will prove to be a test for the Falcons as they face tough competition. Conference opponent Miami has also hired a new coach this past summer, Yana Carollo. Carollo won five conference titles during her time with VCU along with seven NCAA Tournament appearances where her team made it as far as the Sweet 16. Miami, who won the last six MAC

Falcons prepare for lone home meet of season Pair of cross country upperclassmen make 2014 debuts
By Jamar Dunson Reporter
After coming off a good season in track and field, redshirt junior Andrea Alt and senior Greg Black will make their 2014 debuts for the Falcons. In the previous season, Alt was the leading runner for Bowling Green in four of the five meets she was in. She also finished 65 out of 227 runners in the NCAA regionals, so many will be awaiting Alt’s performance in her first meet of the year. Head Coach Lou Snelling, too, is looking forward to seeing her performance. “Andrea Alt, this will be her first race of the season,” said Snelling. “It should be pretty good.” She will be joined by fellow first timers of the season: junior Amanda Garlak and freshman Rebecca Schoff. As for Black, he finished first twice in six out of the seven meets he competed in.
He also placed fifth out of 22 runners at the Eastern Michigan Open and placed in the top-100 runners at the NCAA Regional Championships at 97. Assistant cross country coach Eric Thatcher is looking forward to seeing what Black is going to do on Friday. “We’re excited to get a good baseline for what his senior year’s going to look like,” said Thatcher. “He’ll be our top guy this year ... he’ll have a good opportunity with the level of competition this Friday to see where he’s going to fit in.” As the Falcons’ only home meet of the season, Thatcher also expects to see some of the athletes’ family and friends to cheer them on their home grounds. “I’m sure there will be some parents around to see what we can do on our home court,” said Thatcher. With the University of Toledo coming down for the meet, expect to see an extra spark in the Falcons. Based off of the
men’s practices earlier in the week, Thatcher says he suspects the Falcons will give all of their effort and then some. “We have guys that are working hard and taking this thing seriously,” said Thatcher. “It’s a good opportunity against our biggest rival with Toledo coming down to see where we are.” Junior Becca Rae is also excited for the meet against Toledo and the home crowd getting to see their Falcons compete. “Since this is our only home meet of the season, against Toledo, we definitely want it to be competitive,” Rae said. Alt and the women’s group will be up against Toledo, Cleveland State and Siena Heights. The men’s group will go against Toledo and Siena Heights. The event takes place Friday afternoon at the Forest Creason Golf Course. The men will go first with the 8,000-meter race at 6:30 p.m and the women’s follow at 7:10 p.m. in the 5,000meter race.

regular season titles, returns a solid core of six players who went 7-1 in the MAC last year. They also bring in a strong recruiting class that was ranked seventh among mid-major conferences according to the Tennis Recruiting Network. “They’re just a good team. I’m a little nervous but I know we can contend with them. They’re a MAC school so we’re going to have to,” Fillis said. “Last year was a little upsetting. They’re tough so it’s going to be challenging no matter what but

MEN’S From Page 7 vital to the array of goals scored this season. “With the team this year, I can just put balls in the box and they’ll be hunting for them, scoring goals,” Roth said. Roth not only leads the Falcons with five assists on the year, but that number is good enough for the NCAA lead in the category as of Sept. 7. Thus the Falcons bring a strong offense and an improving defense back home to Cochrane Field this Friday as they take on a competent Northern Kentucky team.
this team can handle it.” Xavier placed second in the Big East Championships and had an overall record of 19-6 along with a conference record of 5-2 for their first year in the Big East. They bring back sophomore Sydney Liggins who was the 2014 conference Freshman of the Year. During that year, Liggins compiled 33 wins between both singles and doubles matches. Louisville was ranked fourth in their conference last year and held a 12-5 overall record. However, the Cardinals come into this season without Julia Fellerhoff and
Rebecca Shine, both of whom graduated last spring. At one point the pair were ranked No. 2 in the country for doubles. The Louisville team is now left with just one senior. “Right now we need to make sure we keep working together as a team, that we keep learning each other, and that we get the freshman to fully adapt,” Elkin said. “We’re going to get the team to buy into the program, a new program and just keep getting better every day to fight for that conference championship.” The invitational will begin this Friday in Oxford, Ohio, at 3 p.m.
think we have any weak links in our offense either though.” When the ball kicks off Saturday at noon, Indiana will be the first Big Ten to play at the Doyt since The University of Minnesota came in 2008.
“It really is something special to have a Big Ten team coming in here to the Doyt,” Babers said. “It’s outstanding for the community and great for the players to play a game like this in front of their family.”
“Northern Kentucky is a great team,” sophomore Joe Sullivan said. “They’re really good defensively and they play hard, so it’s definitely going to be a good battle.” The strength of Northern Kentucky is their ability to play organized and maintain a tight defense throughout the entire game, Nichols said. “The question is, are we able to maintain our concentration all the way through because they are really good at taking their chances,” Nichols said. If the early-season success means anything, the Falcons should have no issues competing well
against the Norse. The Falcons lead the nation in average goals-per-game with four, as Northern Kentucky has only collected three total goals to date. The Falcons will look to continue their growth bringing their 3-1-0 record home to play the 1-0-2 Northern Kentucky squad in front of the home crowd. “We treat every day as a building block. The second our team starts getting satisfied with where we’re at, I think that’s when we’re going to run into problems,” Sullivan said. “So we have a championship game on Friday and we’re looking forward to a nice fight.”

WEDDING From Page 2 significant because [the school is] our connection, it’s where we met, it’s where we spent the last five-plus years of lives.” Denison also added that it gave them the opportunity to show off one of the places they call home. “I thought it would be really neat to showcase campus to our family and friends,” Denison said. T he Un iversit y ’s Conference and Event Services office is in charge of all external events, including weddings and offer additional outdoor locations aside from Prout [although only it is available for no cost to alumni] for on campus wedding ceremonies, as well as several venues for the receptions to be held, for which catering is provided. “Here at Conference & Event Services it’s our pleasure and our responsibility to take your idea and your vision and make it a reality,” Michael Brown, manager of guest relations, said. Approximately twentyfive wedding ceremonies or receptions are hosted by the University every year, he said, often with the
ARCH From Page 1 MacPherson said. “But, if you also look at the library, it’s a tower piece that represents a beacon of knowledge and should arguably be the most important building on campus.” The alignment of campus has become so widespread that the desirable density of an academically-centralized campus has begun to fade outward. The campus is now filled with a myriad of parking lots, various intertwining roads, and no identifiable entrance. While BGSU does not want to detour the idea of commuting, the sporadic access to campus has portrayed that of a ‘commuter school’ without an emphasis on academia. “You don’t want it to feel like a commuter campus, so the parking needs to get away,” MacPherson said. “The reason people, most-notably alumni, love old-campus is because it’s walkable, it’s quiet, and the streets that border it keep the
most wedding events taking place in the spring and summer months. Those who have their actual wedding ceremony on campus typically tend to be connected to the school, he said. However receptions often feature people not directly associated with the University as well. “Recently the phone calls I’ve been receiving are from Falcon Flames. They have a great fondness for the place where they met and fell in love, so often they are eager to tie the knot at BGSU,” Brown said. “[And] as you might imagine, alumni are often requesting to hold their wedding ceremony in Prout Chapel. In regards to the wedding reception[s], it’s a good balance between those who are associated with Bowling Green State University and those who are familiar with our institution through family and friends.” Brown suggests those interested in booking a wedding reception or ceremony at the University to contact his office no earlier than 15 months prior to the date. “[We] never considered another spot,” Coffman said. “We always knew we wanted to get married on campus.”
noise and traffic out. That is what ultimately creates the utopian academic quads.” However, while having a strong sense of academics within campus should be a focal point of the University, arguably the most important aspect is having a firm but compelling entrance to reach the space. Many other Universities feature a dense campus with a ‘front door’ that introduces you to campus. Possessing a strong entrance that stands out hierarchically is essential because it invites to a learningconducive environment. “You don’t really know where the front door is, with multiple entry points across campus,” MacPherson said. “The Thurstin/Wooster corner would seem to be a fantastic entry sequence into BGSU because it has tremendous access into old-campus, inviting people in.” The core of campus, the strength of BGSU, has begun to dissipate as you move outward, attempting to juggle entrances and spaces. Thus, campus has slowly become

FERGUSON From Page 1 minorities are held to a higher standard than white people, who are considered the default human, said Spears. Junior Angela Li was at the discussion. “I think it helped me to understand the situation in a much more complex and validating way,” she said. For students that wish to talk about sensitive issues concerning race or identity in America, Spears encouraged them to find a group of friends that they feel safe to have a real conversation with. “I encourage people to continue dialogue by talk-

‘object buildings’ as opposed to vivid spaces manifested through structures. This is evident as you move toward the new Wolfe Center. There are numerous large buildings that create an overwhelming sense of positive space without complimentary negative space, MacPherson said. “There is no defining of anything that direction except large ‘object buildings’ and I think therein lies part of the problem,” MacPherson said. “There is nothing that defines you are on campus. It has become a different type of campus than the older quads.” Such an evident exclusion from one side of campus to the other has caused an imbalance between academics and athletics. The countless athletic complexes encompassing an entire section of campus has portrayed an image of BGSU that centers around sports. “When we get a lot of athletic buildings it makes it seem that we care a lot more about athletics rather than academ-

Krishna Han, assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, welcomed students to come back to the Ethnic Student Center to discuss anything. “This is a place and a space for underprivileged students,” said Han. Han also encouraged students who are not necessarily educated to still come to the upcoming discussions. Sharing knowledge is very important and diversity of perspectives plays an important role, he said. The discussion series will be held every Wednesday at 5 p.m. in 318 Math and Sciences.
