STUDENT VOICES

Abortion images stirred up students on Centennial Mall

By Trevor Stearns and Jessica Harker News Editor and Associate News Editor

Third time’s the charm Sophomore forward Regan Price overcomes three ACL surgeries in five years to make her comeback on the field.

Among the displays of abortion and prenatal images were shouts from opposing groups and tears from passersby during Created Equal’s Oct. 27 display on Centennial Mall.

The pro-life group hoped to discuss the topic of abortion with community members.

The goal of their presence was to educate people about the effects of abortion.

Created Equal placed signs like this around Centennial Mall as a part of their antiabortion display.

Created Equal argues that abortion is age discrimination.

Their website says their goal is to “restore the true meaning of equality to include equal protection between the born and the preborn.”

Members of the University of Toledo Feminist Alliance were also present at the display to “counter-protest”, according to Taylor Burtch, a fourth-year women and gender studies major and UTFA member, who organized the meeting.

“I honestly think it is altering my ability to function on campus today and I think I am not the only one,” Burtch said.

“I’ve seen a lot of people walk by incredibly disgusted and even the people who identify as antichoice in my class said that this was outrageous and disgusting.”

Ryan Nethers, a secondyear nursing major, said he didn’t think the display was as distracting to students as others were making it out to be.

“I could only see this affecting people who are especially sensitive to this or have had to go through this,” Nethers said.

“Then it could really affect them and their mindset in classes.”

Some students shouted their disagreement. The anti-abortion group returned heated debate but notably did not shout back their replies.

“I’ve seen a lot of people walk by incredibly disgusted and even the people who identify as anti-choice in my class said that this was outrageous and disgusting.”

TAYLOR BURTCH Fourth-year women and gender studies major

The director of outreach for Created Equal, Joshua Bertsch, said the group welcomed others’ opinions and that the group accepts everyone’s freedom of expression.

“We are firm believers of free speech,” Bertsch said. “I saw some people out here with ‘Keep abortion legal’ signs — we think that’s great, we’re not in any way opposed to that.”

Audrey Remusat, a graduate student in social work with a certificate in women and gender studies and a member of UTFA, said she was against the methods Created Equal was using because they were “fear tactics,” which could take away the choice only pregnant women should have.

“They want people to suffer the consequences of what this looks like,” Remussat said. “They want to hinder their choice, they are taking the choice away from them.”

Burtch also said she thought the images should not have been on campus and referred to them as “disgusting.” She went on to say it was JOE HEIDENESCHER / IC a disappointment that Caitlyn Dickey, a UT student, joined those students could who protested the See Displays / 4 » abortion displays.

ADMINISTRATION

Reorganization at UT has Committee begins the mergers on the roster

By Ashley Diel Staff Reporter

Several of the University of Toledo’s colleges may be merging together next year to form new and fewer colleges.

The colleges which are confirmed to be merging are the College of Social Justice and Human Services with the College of Health Sciences, and the College of Adult and Lifelong Learning with YouCollege.

It’s possible that the College

of Communication and the Arts may also be merging with the College of Languages, Literature and Social Sciences, but the decision has not yet been finalized.

John Barrett, interim provost and executive vice pesident for Academic Affairs, said the mergers are being planned because President Sharon Gaber wanted to cut down on administrative cost. In 2012, the deans of these colleges cumulatively made $1,134,117.66 according the

Toledo Blade’s salary database.

“If you look at President Gaber’s five big agenda items, one of them is to combat administrative bloat to keep expenses to the minimum so we have money to invest in things like faculty and classrooms or so we don’t have to raise tuition,” Barrett said. “So saving money is one of the reasons to do this.”

Dining Services reopened POD in Ottawa East as the Rocket Market

By Rose Serrano Staff Reporter

Carter Hall’s Provisions on Demand has re-opened and re-located to Ottawa East on Oct. 12, along with a fresh name: Rocket Market.

Carter Hall accommodated it last year but its closing caused the original POD to close as well.

The grand opening of Rocket Market hasn’t been held yet, according to Mario Toussaint, senior director of operations — Dining and Nutrition.

“We are going to have a student-centered group that will be deciding on a little bit of a ribbon-cutting ceremony, we’ll have a few prizes and kinda blow it out,” Toussaint said.

Don’t defund Planned Parenthood Senate Bill 214 aims to take away funding for any organization that provides or promotes non-therapeutic abortions

For years now, Planned Parenthood has battled to keep its federal funding amid the nationwide abortion and reproductive rights debate. Last week the Ohio State Senate passed Senate Bill 214, which would effectively defund Planned Parenthood. The bill’s legal phrasing would actually defund not only Planned Parenthood, but all organizations who perform or promote “non-therapeutic” abortions — abortions Planned Parenthood that are performed is important when a mother’s life is not in danger or when for people who the pregnancy was not are struggling caused by reported economically but still cases of rape or incest.

The editorial board need reproductive believes this bill — health care. as well as all other attempts to defund Planned Parenthood — deprive Ohio residents of a vital resource for both men and women. Despite the angle from which this issue is being approached politically, our concern is not on abortion services, but on the other resources that are being defunded as collateral damage in the fight to end abortion.

Currently, Planned Parenthood does not receive any funding that goes towards abortions (which make up only 2 percent of its services) and cannot provide any financial assistance to patients with abortions. The government has already taken all money out of abortion services at Planned Parenthood, and whether the bill passes or fails, the number of abortions that happen there will not change. The only place this bill would be taking money from would be the many other health services that are performed at the same clinic as abortions.

Planned Parenthood assists both women and men with services including: family planning, birth control, STI/HIV screening and treatment, cervical cancer and vasectomies.

Just as importantly, they provide a safe space for those who may be uninformed about their options or in need of advice during a challenging time in their life. While some of the over 50,000 people a year that Planned Parenthood serves will be able to go elsewhere, there are others who will be left without help on crucial issues like like family planning, STI/ HIV testing and treatment, cancer screenings and emergency contraception.

A large number of the patients helped by access to services like these are those of low socio-economic status. According to the Planned Parenthood website, 79 percent of their patients are at or below the poverty line.

What sets Planned Parenthood apart as a crucial institution for these families is that it has payment plans subsidizing the cost of services on income and family size, all done on an individual basis. They also do not turn people away and deny service if a patient is unable to pay. This is very important for people who are struggling economically but still need reproductive health care.

To us, the heart of this issue is the long-reaching negative impacts this bill will have on the health and welfare of Ohioans. If Planned Parenthood is defunded in Ohio, many of their clinics will close or be forced to set fixed rates on certain services, taking away part of what makes them so accessible to people of all incomes and backgrounds.

To say that people may not be able to receive reproductive health care and family planning services because they cannot afford it, or because a Planned Parenthood clinic is the only place offering those services within a reasonable distance, is bigger than just the question of abortion. It sends the message to Ohioans that lawmakers are willing to pass unfavorable legislation regardless of the costly effects that it will cause patients.

Henry V: nice idea, bad execution A young man must fight his first big below.

The point is that while my idea of Ghana as my country of birth changes, my experiences and memories of SegeAda, the small village where I had my experiences does not change. It is still my home, but Toledo, Ohio is equally my home. It is where I experience America today, earn my livelihood and share wonderful relationships that shape my emotional being. By this, I’m free to talk of “my homes” rather than “my home.”

And just as I did in Sege-Ada, I’ll continue to accumulate new experiences in Toledo and in any other place that I’ll live. These will be my homes. After all, the idea of a home is a place that makes us feel safe, loved and appreciated. And wherever I’m free to experience these, for me, is my home.

What defines us as humans is not the traveling passports we carry, it is not the national anthems we sing, it is not even our accents, or skin color. It is the sum of these shared experiences we have in our local places. It’s true that we all live in some country or the other, but our experiences of these countries are shaped in local cities, neighborhoods, our work places or even our homes. Defining who we are isn’t complete if we can’t include an idea of life and nationhood that includes our common experiences as people.

So next time you see me feel free to ask me about where I come from, why I am here, if I like it here and whether I’ll go back home. For me, it is another exciting opportunity to have a dialogue about our common identity as humans. But don’t be surprised if I told you that Toledo is my home. Of course, I’m a proud native of Sege-Ada but I’m equally here at home in Toledo and I’m excited about my experiences in this new home. I have “homes,” not just “a home.”

arrival. Alby directed Henry to act obnoxious, arrogant and hungry for blood.

I found it interesting, at first, to see how much one could do with words written 400 years ago. Using these same words, many personalities can be portrayed on stage. In this case, Alby turned a hero into a villain. In the famous, “Once more unto the breach,” speech, Henry and his court sing together as if in a rock concert.

What at first seemed like an interesting idea turned into gratuitous nonsense filled with sexual innuendoes and unlikable characters.

I liked Alby’s idea — I just hated the execution. Loud rock music and modern political humor obscured what could have been a subtle character study, using only words as a foundation.

Henry could have matured into an evil monarch, but instead he seemed twodimensional and hard to watch.

In the final act, Henry woos the daughter of the French king despite the language barrier. This sweet ending was written comically but retained elegance and class. In Alby’s interpretation, Henry does not woo Catherine at all. Instead, he practically assaults her on stage. I must say, this is appropriate for Alby’s interpretation of Henry as a power-hungry monster, ending the play on an eerie note of hopelessness. When Henry is interpreted as a hero, the battle of Agincourt is a lot like a football game. Henry is the captain and under his leadership, he inspires his kingdom. But in Alby’s interpretation, Henry cheated in the game.

Toledo’s production of “Henry V” was blocked well, and had some interesting character ideas, but ultimately it lacked subtly and dimension.

Provost from page 1

within the next couple of weeks.

The role of the provost also encompasses the role of the vice president of academic affairs, according to Ingersoll, meaning that the deans of each college report to them.

According to Patten Wallace, the committee will include student leaders like the Student Government president and the president of the Graduate Student Council program in addition to the 15 faculty members participating.

Patten Wallace believes the student body opinion on potential candidates is important because the provost is also chief academic officer, which includes student curriculum.

“Students are why we’re here,” Patten Wallace said. “It’s very important for students to have input.”

According to Patten Wallace, by March the remaining candidates will visit campus and forums involving students will take place.

“There be multiple forums which will be targeted or focusing on students and getting student input,” Patten Wallace said.

Gaber said the new provost’s duties will include increasing the recognition of academic programs and working with her to improve student enrollment.

“That person is also going to work with enrollment services to make sure we continue to get in students and very good quality students,” Gaber said.

Ingersoll said the provost also makes sure UT’s programs are functioning correctly.

“They look after state requirements for our academic programs and interact with folks in Columbus

to make sure our programs are doing what they’re supposed to,” Ingersoll said.

According to Gaber, candidates with an ability to work collaboratively with students and deans are preferred.

As well as looking for experience with managing expenses, Gaber said she also wants a candidate with experience in higher education.

“Usually, a provost would come out of some other academic leadership position, like a dean or a vice provost,” Gaber said.

“Usually they’re a strong academic themselves, so those are the things I will be looking for.”

Patten Wallace said she thinks the potential candidates should be “someone who can be a voice for the faculty, appreciate our faculty, appreciate the students and the student experience, and understand how all of these components come together.”

Patten Wallace said she also believes attracting potential faculty for the university is an important part of being provost.

“We want someone who can attract top-notch faculty from across the country to want to come to the University of Toledo, because of the kind of leadership and support that they get here,” Patten Wallace said.

Nethers said though the pictures were a bit gruesome, they have not changed his true opinion on the matter.

“I had my beliefs about it before and it hasn’t really changed anything,” Nethers said. “I believe they should only have abortions for medical or criminal reasons, like if it affects the mother or the child or if it’s because of rape

or sexual violence.”

Bertsch said, as Created Equal visits campuses, they hope to influence student opinions on abortion while also hearing the opinions of those who oppose their standpoint and discussing the topic further.

“I’m here to talk to people whether they agree or disagree with me,” Burtsch said. “It’s encouraging to see people who take their standpoint seriously enough to act on them. We’re on the same campus, so by all means we would like to talk with them

and discuss with them.”

While Burtch stood for the pro-choice option, she said her group’s counter-protest was also there to offer support for those who have been through an abortion.

“There wasn’t really a goal with interacting with [Created Equal] or not,” Burtch said. “I think it was more so there were people … here to say if you have had an abortion or you are pro-choice that … it is safe and OK for you to be walking through this area of campus today.”

better than the old one and is not as cramped. He enjoys the setting and style of the new POD and likes the new selection of foods as well.

“It’s better; they have a wider selection, not to mention they have a new main food. Panini or something.”

Schutz said.

Courtney White, a second year pre-pharmacy student, also liked it, commenting that the new POD is very clean, bright, and much bigger than the old one, but they do run out of stuff quickly.

“For what I get its fine, but yeah there’s no sitting area. It would be nice if there was but that’ll cost extra money,” White said.

The prices of food still remain the same, but a sign in the new location informs visitors on a new policy limiting the number of meal swipes to two per student.

“It’s to control abuse and mostly a food-safety piece,” Toussaint said.

“If people are taking different types of foods up to their rooms without refrigeration we have to do a little bit of control there. If there’s an excessive amount then I’m going to be accountable if there’s a food safety issue.”

Toussaint said the POD was relocated to Ottawa East because it had the best square footage and the bestlooking locale they could have chosen.

“It was already built. So really all it took was us to finish up the flooring and that took a month and a half or so and as soon as we had the keys in hand and got ready for people to walk through safely it only took about three days,” Toussaint said.

The new POD is located directly next to Ottawa East’s dining hall.

By Jenna Nance Sports Reporter

Two days after scoring her first collegiate goal, sophomore Regan Price tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) for the third time in her career. Price was forced to miss the remainder 2014 season just two games into the season.

“I was willing to do anything that it took to be back,” Price said.

“Not to just be back on the field but to really come back and make the statement that my injuries weren’t going to define me and who I am as a player.”

Price has been hit with the injury bug dating back to her days in high school.

During the fall of her junior season in high school, Price tore her ACL for the first time going in for a tackle, ending her season.

A year later during her senior year, Price came back with a vengeance, winning player of the year honors and named to Ohio’s first team All-State.

Price then earned a scholarship to play soccer at the University of Toledo. During the second day of practices, she tore her ACL for the second time in two years, forcing her to redshirt that season.

“It was literally the first drill we did and it happened,” Price said.

“No one was near me; I just cut and it happened.”

Price rehabbed and worked her way into the starting lineup in time for the start of the 2014 season.

Just one game after scoring her first collegiate goal in her first collegiate game, Price would go down for the third time in her career just two games into the season.

This tear was a little different than the rest. Price didn’t realize the severity of the injury at first due to the protective knee brace

she was already wearing.

It wasn’t until the next day at practice when she was trying to run but couldn’t successfully without pain. She went to the medical team and after an MRI it was clear that she had torn it for the third time.

After tearing her ACL for the second time, frustration was clear. After tearing it for the third time, doubt was starting to creep in if she would ever play again.

“I had to keep strong faith,” Price said. “Throughout this whole journey anytime doubt started to creep in, the people that I was surrounded by didn’t really let me doubt myself.”

Price’s third ACL tear meant yet another surgery and more hours spent in rehab, and it almost meant another season her teammates would have to play without her.

“... Throughout this whole journey anytime doubt started to creep in, the people that I was surrounded by didn’t really let me doubt myself.”

REGAN PRICE Sophomore forward

“We were obviously very upset for her,” said junior forward Brooke Maletic. “I think it helped us because we watched her push herself every day and coming back from three ACL surgeries and playing is not very common.

“So the fact that she is pushing through it right now is something people can look up to.”

SOCCER

UT wins two over weekend, moves into position for postseason play

By Jackson Rogers Sports Reporter

The University of Toledo women’s soccer team earned a pair of victories over the weekend to make a final push for the eight spots in the Mid-American Conference post-season tournament.

UT shutout Ohio at home with 3-0 on Friday before capturing an exciting 2-1 overtime victory over Kent State during senior day on Sunday.

With the victories, the Rockets improved their record up to (8-11, 4-6 MAC) and currently hold the seventh seed for the MAC tournament going into the final game of the season Thursday at Central Michigan.

In the game against Ohio, the Rockets controlled the pace by applying heavy pressure to the Bobcat defense.

UT outshot OU 23-to-3 and did not allow Ohio to record a shot on goal. Ohio goalkeeper Taylor Smith was kept busy, recording 12 saves on the night.

Toledo’s junior Sophie Pohl opened up the scoring in the 75th minute with her fourth goal of the season.

Shortly after in the 78th minute, junior Brooke Maletic added some insurance with a goal off a blocked save, finding the left corner of the net for her second goal of the season.

“We played well enough to win and we had some great goals,” said Head Coach T.J. Buchholz. “We’ve had a lot of

shots this season but haven’t always been rewarded with a goal. So it was a building experience for our team to be able to get a lot of shots and a lot of goals.”

The Rockets weren’t done.

Sophomore Isa Echeverri put the game out of reach in the 82nd minute she headed home an assist from senior Geri Siudzinski to earn her fourth goal of the season.

“We’ve had a lot of shots this season but haven’t always been rewarded with a goal. So it was a building experience for our team to be able to get a lot of shots and a lot of goals.”

TJ BUCHHOLZ UT head soccer coach

On Sunday, UT shocked the Golden Flash behind the brace of Echeverri in the final home game of the 2015 season.

After a scoreless first half, Echeverri would open up the scoring for the Rockets with the first goal of her brace in the 67th minute. She collected

the ball after it rebounded off the crossbar and fired it in for her fifth goal of the season. “(Isa) really turned it on,” Buchholz said. “She’s just started to really have a big impact offensively which is really nice — and most importantly she’s really been clutch.”

Kent State answered back with a goal from Doni Capehart in the 76th minute to tie the game and force overtime.

Just five minutes into the overtime period, sophomore Regan Price was fouled in the box earning a Rocket penalty kick.

Echeverri stepped up to take the kick and blasted the ball past the KSU keeper to give Toledo the win.

“Our seniors have had a great career and it was fun to see them get that win,” Buchholz said. “I think our girls really came to play against a really good Kent State team and to send them off with a final win at Scott Park was special.”

It was a more competitive game than the last one as shots were more even.

Toledo outshot their opponent 11-10 and had seven shots on goal compared to Kent State’s 3 shots.

The Rockets will conclude their regular season on Thursday, Oct. 29 when they travel to take on Central Michigan at 3 p.m.

Toledo needs a draw or a win to clinch a spot in the MAC tournament.

Instead of going home this past summer, Price decided to stay in Toledo with her athletic trainer and focus on her recovery.

Rehab consisted of strengthening drills, lateral mobility, quick cuts and shifting. In addition to physical rehabilitation drills, Price’s nutrition, sleep schedule and anything else the trainers could regulate were maintained and well-focused.

“I think coming off those kinds of serious injuries, it definitely takes time to get game fit,” said Head Coach T.J. Buchholz. “But the thing that is hard to not recognize is that [Regan] brings a relentless work rate and work ethic that is hard to match and that is something you can’t teach.”

In her first game back, the Rockets traveled to Detroit and won 3-2 in a double overtime thriller. During the National Anthem, Price became emotional as tears poured from her eyes.

“It means the world to me to be back,” Price said. “I don’t take a single second on the field for granted, ever. Even on the days that I get frustrated with myself, I remind myself that I am grateful to be able to step foot on the field again.”

Price has two goals and one

assist tallied on the season while shooting nine of 21 shots on goal.

“It’s significantly valuable for us to have her back,” Buchholz said.

“She’s a person who gets every aspect we want out of our players.

She gives 100 percent no matter what. She is very determined as an athlete, she is very talented and she is a person of great character and that’s extremely important to us.”

While she is still getting back into the swing of things, Price has managed to be an asset for the Rocket’s averaging 50 minutes a game. In a game against Wright State earlier this season, Price managed to play 77 minutes in UT’s 1-0 victory.

“She’s a player who has played a consistent amount of minutes, whether it is starting or coming off the bench; she is a key player for us,” Buchholz said. “We can’t win games without her on the field.”

With one game remaining on the schedule, Price can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in many seasons.

“It’s been really nice to get a season under my belt,” Price said.

“I know it’s not over yet, but it’s definitely a confidence booster and I think year by year good things are going to come.”

Rockets keep winning

The Rockets are now 7-0 on the season and ranked number 20 in the Associate Press Top 25. UT will be taking on Northern Illinois on Tuesday Nov. 3 in hopes to remain unbeaten.

Toledo will enter Tuesday’s game with a 10-game winning streak dating back to the 2014 season. UT’s last loss came on Nov. 11 2014 at NIU in a 27-24 hiccup.

NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH

30 days to write 50,000 words

Students get the chance to write the novel of their dreams starting in November

By Emily Schnipke Staff Reporter

Break out the pens and the paper because it’s time to write that novel you’ve always dreamed of.

Starting Nov. 1, participants in National Novel Writing Month — commonly known as NaNoWriMo — will begin to write their first pages of a novel. By the end of the month, they will end up with a 50,000-word book.

The national event started in 1999 and became a nonprofit organization in 2005. In 2014, the organization said 325,142 people participated in the novel writing month. According to a press release, participants “started the month as auto mechanics, out-of-work actors and middle school English teachers. They walked away novelists.”

“National Novel Writing Month is a wonderful opportunity for people to dive into their imaginations and do one of the most crucial things in life:

“National Novel Writing Month is a wonderful opportunity for people to dive into their imaginations and do one of the most crucial things in life: create.”

GRANT FAULKNER Executive director of NaNoWriMo

create,” said Grant Faulkner, executive director of NaNoWriMo, on the organization’s website. “Everyone has a story that needs to come to life, so the shelves of the NaNoWriMo library stretch endlessly. NaNoWriMo helps people find their voice in the act of writing and through the encouragement of the writers in the NaNoWriMo community.”

For the third consecutive year, the University of Toledo’s Carlson Library will host a series of write-ins and

events to help aspiring novelists on campus accomplish that goal.

“Each week, we will provide a gathering place, tips, snacks and support for a novel-writing-on-steroids experience,” said Lucy Duhon, scholarly communications librarian in University Libraries.

Duhon said this will be a quiet place for writers to go to for a few hours and do nothing but write. At the end of the month, a celebration will be held for all who participated. It doesn’t matter if you accomplished the goal or not because the goal is to start writing.

Traditional novels can take years to write and even longer to publish.

Through NaNoWriMo, novelists can get their creative minds working very quickly. Writers have a daily goal of at least 1,667 words to be able to reach the goal of 50,000 words at the end of the month.

Over 250 NaNoWriMo novels have

FASHION

Feeling comfy while looking fly JOE HEIDENESCHER FEATURES EDITOR

It’s starting to get a bit nippy outside boys, which means it’s time to put away the basketball shorts, the Nike Elites and burn your Sperry Topsiders (not just because it’s cold, but because they’re ugly). Here are some very simple tips to layering up, staying comfy and to looking like you aren’t hungover and late for class.

First tip: shower, wash, groom, brush, comb, apply, etc.

Do what you need to do to NOT smell. End of that lecture.

Second tip: Sweatpants Praise God for jogger sweatpants. Nowadays you can slap on a pair of insanely comfy sweats that don’t make you look like you just woke up (which is great for when you did wake up late). I recommend a pair of gray or dark blue that taper down toward your ankle. With a pair of gray sweats you can wear a cardigan, a sports jacket or even a sweater-button down combo. Sweats also allow you wear any type of shoe, with the exception of maybe dress shoes. Rock the sweats pulled up knee-high or tucked into your boots. Just like any sweatpants, beware not to flaunt any family heirlooms.

Third tip: Crewnecks Are you tired of looking like an accountant with your V-necks? Switch it up and tell your ex to give back all your absconded crewnecks. You need them. Sure you can wear them for just a casual day on the town, but you can also wear them to work. Take your normal get-up: shirt and tie, blazer, dress shoes, pants. Now put a crewneck on over your shirt and under your blazer and you’ve got a killer outfit. Not only are you dressed for the stress, but

you’re also saying, “I’m a cool coworker; I’ll talk about cable television with you.”

Fourth Tip: Hoodies and Jackets Hoodies and jackets are the most kickass combo there is — one without the other is like a coke without the rum: subpar. I know what you’re saying, ‘Hoodies are already perfect.’ Yes, but when you add a denim jacket, you level up. This trick doesn’t just work with denim; pair your hoodie with a sports jacket or blazer. You are upgrading in style without sacrificing your comfort. The look is also a great blend of low and high fashion.

You will not look like the dirt poor, in-debt college student that you are and you won’t look like a rich-ass snob who drinks wine on the green with his daddy’s dime.

Fifth tip: Shoes

Joe Heidenescher poses in his joggers and pairs it with a pullover and jean jacket combo.

I am not afraid to admit, I love shoes — everyone should own more shoes. Sneakers, canvas, wingtips, boots, get them all. ‘But Joe,’ you say, ‘I don’t have that kind of cash to blow.’

I’ve good news, friend. Buy one pair of shoes from that list and make them work. You might be surprised how versatile shoes really are. We millennials are rocking sneakers with suits and brown dress shoes with blue jeans. Once you find yourself a pair of comfortable and affordable kicks, match their attitude.

If you want to rock the sneakers and suit look, ditch the black and go for navies. Also aim for some fresh, lighter-colored sneaks. As for dress shoes, you can easily wear browns with blues so long as your shoes aren’t the classiest thing on you. Be sure to at least put on a button-up or polo.

Now who said being stylish meant being stuffy and uncomfortable? I say, it’s easy as hell to look fresh while still feeling comfy. Half of these clothes already double as my pajamas.

So even if I’m late to class, I can still show up looking sharp.

Because remember, no matter how dead you are on the inside, you can still look fly on the outside.

been traditionally published, including Sara Gruen’s “Water for Elephants,” Erin Morgenstern’s “The Night Circus,” Hugh Howey’s “Wool,” Rainbow Rowell’s “Fangirl,” Jason Hough’s “The Darwin Elevator” and Marissa Meyer’s “Cinder.”

Duhon said Carlson Library will have many of these books for students to check out during the month in case they feel like reading, not writing.

“To be an avid writer, you have to be an avid reader,” Duhon said.

The NaNoWriMo kickoff will be held Nov. 1 in Carlson Library Room 2010 from 1-4 p.m. Write-ins will be held in the same room throughout the month from 5-8 p.m.

“Everyone has a story inside. Write it down. Write it for you,” Duhon said.

IN BRIEF Degas creates dancing art exhibit

By IC Staff

The Toledo Museum of Art brings in a new exhibition capturing the art of dance by Edgar Degas, an 18th-century French Impressionist, starting Oct. 15.

Degas was influenced by the movement of dance and the majority of his art takes on that theme, said Larry Nichols, the curator of the exhibition.

“Our exhibition is going to offer the opportunity for our visitors to see seven sculpture and about as many or a few more paintings and pastels by him,” Nichols said.

One of the main aspects of the display will be the interaction with the dance floor and actual ballet dancers.

TMA guard Nick Vance said visitors will have the opportunity to try different ballet poses which will be posted on the walls of the gallery and be able to do this on a dance floor.

“We started off this morning with a young lady who was four years old, came in her tutu and shoes and she did some movements — so it’s an encouragement from young to old,” Vance said.

The exhibit will also include practice sessions from The Toledo Ballet and the visitors will be able to observe them dancing, Vance said.

Nichols said this part of the exhibit is in celebration of the Toledo Ballet’s 75th anniversary of their performance of The Nutcracker.

Laurie Seibold, one of the visitors of the exhibit, said she enjoyed ballet in her younger years and had taken some classes following in her sister’s footsteps.

“I like to see any of the new exhibits that come to the museum; I always like to come to these. My friend and I try to get together and come down whenever there’s something new,” Seibold said.

This exhibit took a lot of preparation — more than 16 months’ worth of preparing and organizing. The exhibit also had a myriad people contribute.

Nichols said he organized the whole thing, but couldn’t do it without the help of his colleagues.

“I think it’s going to be very exciting for the community to come together and celebrate not only the Toledo ABIGAIL SULLIVAN / IC museum of art but Degas’ artwork is displayed also the Toledo ballet,” on the side of a building in Downtown Perrysburg.

Nichols said.
