The marketing intern program for student organizations, a project of the Office of Student Involvement and the UT Office of Marketing and Communication, has found itself stifled by complications regarding renovation, miscommunications, lack of funding and a continuing leadership shuffle.
The marketing internship is designed to help student organizations with public relations and with marketing themselves and their events. While this program was advertised and can be found on the Office of Student Involvement website, the two interns employed in the program have been forced to take on fewer clients and the program itself is moving cau-
tiously and slowly. The program’s rocky start has been due to a combination of factors, said Emily Hickey, a former UT marketing strategist and content coordinator who was one of leaders for the project. Hickey is still working with the marketing interns but is now pursuing her master’s degree in higher education, and has taken a graduate assistant position in the

BLACK SWAMP SHOWDOWN SPIRIT EVENTS Falcon Roast Bonfire Rocket fans can get their Falcon frustration out at the Falcon Roast Bonfire on Friday, Oct. 25, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Flatlands between Parks Tower and Carlson Library. Besides smashing a falcon piñata and a BG pumpkin, students will burn a cardboard falcon. Free wings will be served, free T-shirts will be available and attendees can enter into several prize drawings to be held through the evening. The event is sponsored by Campus Activities and Programming (CAP) and Student Government.
UT Ball Run Started in 1981, the UT/BG ball run is a relay-type run that happens annually in celebration of the I-75 rivalry. This year, a group of 30 UT students will meet at the Glass Bowl’s 50 yard line, where they will begin the 25-mile trek between the Glass Bowl and Doyt L. Perry Stadium. The group will be accompanied by a bus, with two students at a time running the ball and switching off responsibilities every mile or so. Those who run will be given a T-shirt, free food and a free ticket into the game. Participants can take part in the run by purchasing a $5 ticket from a Student Union building manager in room 2525 before Friday at 5 p.m. Tickets are limited. The event is sponsored by Blue Crew, Student Government, and Campus Activities and Programming (CAP).

Student Government passed a resolution Oct. 23 that aims to prohibit the use of residence hall computers for anything other than academic purposes. The resolution, which affects all residence halls on main campus, passed with no questions and no debate. But not all senators agreed with the resolution and the implication it could have on students in residence halls. Sam Duling, the author, said his inspiration for the resolution came when his fellow residents in Academic House came to him with various complaints about students using computers for non-academic purposes. He said he also had personal experiences because the computer lounge on his floor has only two computers. “When even one of them is occupied, and you have an inflow of students who need to use those computers for printing purposes, for academic purposes in general, they immediately become disenfranchised — and for no good reason, if those students currently in the lab are on social media or playing solitaire or looking up what they want to purchase on Amazon next week,” Duling said. Duling said he believes this resolution will give students a stronger basis to walk into a lab and ask others to use the computers for schoolwork. “My intent was never to create any tension between students, and many student might have a problem with confrontation,” Duling said. “That was not the intent of the bill. The intent of the bill was simply to give students the expectation of being able to use these computers and if anyone is not using them for the right reasons, being able to expect some kind of polite regard from those individuals to be able to use those computers.” Duling said he is very pleased that the bill passed. However, some other senators were dissatisfied with it and voted against it. Senator Tiara Green, an English literature major, said she is opposed to the See Computers / 7 »

This week in UT history 25 years ago: Can UT students phone home? Apparently not, according to some students residing in the dorms. With an increasing number of complaints about the service and quality of their telephone system, many dorm students feel they are paying too much for nothing at all. 50 years ago: Student Senate, after heated discussion, voted to begin each meeting with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Senator Chuck Friedman, who introduced the motion, said this might help the Senate to “look and act more dignified.” Senator Tom Jackson said it was not necessary and that “I personally feel it is kind of silly.” 75 years ago: Students who have not yet registered their cars must do so today. Unregistered cars parked in the University lot will be ticketed and owners fined. Students are warned by the Traffic Bureau not to park by the Field House under the penalty of a 75-cent minimum fine.

BATTLE OF I-75
RIVALRY WEEK
Senior defensive end Jayrone Elliott was named this week’s MidAmerican Conference West Division Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in last weekend’s 45-44 double overtime UT victory over Navy. Elliott had a careerhigh 13 tackles in the game, and he also made a key defensive play in the second quarter, forcing a fumble and recovering it to run 68 yards for a touchdown.
UT honors POWs/MIAs The Rockets home stadium now features a permanently unoccupied seat in honor of military service personnel who were or are prisoners of war (POW) or have been declared missing in action (MIA). The seat was designated during last weekend’s football game against Navy in a ceremony prior to kickoff. It is believed that the University of Toledo is the first school in the country to feature such a seat at one of their sports venues. Former Marine and current UT President Lloyd Jacobs, United States Naval Academy Superintendent Vice Admiral Michael H. Miller, UT vice-president and athletic director Mike O’Brien, and UT military liaison and United States Navy Reserve Lieutenant Haraz Ghanbari all participated in the ceremony.

Ruenreong posted UT’s best standing on the individual leaderboard by tying for 20th place at 10-over par 223 (75-76-72). Senior Kate Hoops tied for 30th place at 13-over par 226 (73-74-79), while junior Stephanie St-Jean tied for 30th place at 20-over par 233 (80-79-74) and junior Jennifer Elsholz tied for 69th place at 22over par 235 (79-78-78).

Campbell and Clawson could be squaring off for the final time
Women’s XC finishes 14th at Pre-Nationals The Toledo women’s cross country team finished 14th at the NCAA Pre-National meet, defeating two nationally ranked teams in No. 18 Villanova and No. 19 Oklahoma State on Saturday, Oct. 19, in Terre Haute, Ind. Junior Brooke Tullis led the way for the Rockets in Saturday’s Blue Race, finishing 69th with a time of 21:13.18. Juniors Megan Wright and Megan Gaysunas finished 89th and 103rd, respectively. “I’m very happy with the way the race went today,” head coach Linh Nguyen said in a UT release. “We went in with a similar game plan to Paul Short and the women executed very well. The goal today was to get some at large points for national qualification. Hopefuly, those victories today will turn into points in four weeks.”

high 12 blocks, one shy of her career best, which was accompanied by 13 kills and a .522 attack percentage. Rafdal led UT’s attack with 16 kills and 11 digs for her fifth double-double of the season.
The rivalry between the University of Toledo and their I-75 counterpart, the Bowling Green State Falcons, has withstood many changes since the two teams started playing each other in 1919. On Saturday, UT and BGSU will resume that rivalry, facing off for the 78th time in the Falcon’s Doyt L. Perry Stadium. While fans focus on the heated rivalry, they should all stop for at least a moment and consider the two men that will be facing each other across the gridiron. After all, with how successful Falcons head coach Dave Clawson and Rockets head coach Matt Campbell have been, it may be the last time they face each other. Both coaches are beginning to make an impression in the college football world, and with that comes the potential to move to a bigger program. UT is no stranger to this practice: the program has lost two of its last three head coaches to bigger schools looking for unique coaching minds to help rebuild their respective teams. Clawson is also familiar with the process. The Falcon’s current head coach has become known as “the rebuilder” — the guy a program calls when they need a total makeover. He has done it twice before. His first head-coaching opportunity at Fordham (19992003) piqued when Clawson turned a Rams program coming off 12-straight losing seasons into participants in the NCAA FCS playoffs. He then went to Richmond, guiding them through a 3-4 to 9-4 improvement from his first to second seasons — the biggest twoyear turnaround in Spider football’s 124-year history. Clawson has brought his rebuilding mindset to the Falcons, leading the team to a 7-6 record and an appearance in the Humanitarian Bowl during his first season as head coach in 2009. He is entering his fifth year as head coach, and his team is coming off of an 8-5 season that culminated in Bowling Green’s second bowl trip in four years. At 46, Clawson isn’t too old in head coaching years — another pro for potential suitor schools. The current Falcon’s coach was reportedly in the mix for the opening at Wisconsin last December, a sign that he is looking to move up to a bigger program while his stock is still hot. Campbell’s resume as a head coach isn’t as lengthy as Clawson’s, but give it another season or two and that will change. He is already known for his offensive-minded philosophies towards football, and even more so for his relaxed, fun-oriented approach to the game — the latter being a very unique trait among college football coaches. The Rockets’ 42-41 victory over Air Force in the Military Bowl just 16 days after Campbell was named head coach in 2011 is probably his crowning achievement on the field to date.

Toledo gets ready to battle archrivals in Bowling Green By Jay Skebba Sports Editor
The University of Toledo and Bowling Green football teams don’t particularly care for each other’s company. But lately, it’s hard to find a member of the Rockets willing to admit this weekend’s matchup is “just another game.” Whether it really is just the next matchup on the schedule, or Toledo is trying to avoid creating any bulletin board material for the opposition, participants in Monday’s press conference were rather mum on the topic. “You’ve got two of the top programs in the Mid-American Conference, two that have tremendous tradition,” said UT head coach Matt Campbell. “I think the for-

mer players and the universities — you can see why it’s a great tradition and a great rivalry game. That’s where you as a coach and a player have to understand that it still is the next game. “It’s the next conference game, that’s the biggest emphasis that our kids need to have right now.” While Campbell didn’t divulge too much into what this rivalry means or how pretentious it can be, there is certainly merit to the “next game” mentality.

what will be a must-win for the Rockets. A seemingly larger problem exists with Ball State, who is 4-0 in league play. The Cardinals beat the Rockets Sept. 28 and even if Toledo runs the table, they would still need Ball State to lose twice more to win the West, as BSU would win a tiebreaker. Getting back to the task at hand, the 5-2 (3-0) Falcons present a formidable challenge. BGSU’s defense garners much praise, and with good reason: they’re ranked at or near the top of the league in almost every defensive category.

UT’s four-game MAC winning streak snapped as Rockets card 1-1 weekend By Austin Henry Sports Reporter
The University of Toledo volleyball team added a 3-1 victory over Kent State to their season record on Saturday, but their four-match win streak was brought to a close the previous evening when they traveled to Athens and lost 3-1 to the Ohio Bobcats. In Athens, senior outside hitter Lauren Rafdal led UT’s offense with 16 kills with senior right side hitter Becca Reidy also extending into double digits with 10 kills. Toledo’s middle blockers senior Dakota Harkins and junior Brooke Frazer each had six kills. The Rockets were missing senior outside hitter Jordan Kielty, who was sidelined due to injury. “When you have a player like Jordan out, all of a sudden you need to find that sixth rotation player,” head coach Greg Smith said. “You’re taking away senior leadership; you don’t have senior leadership with a freshman.” UT had a solid start in the opening set. After the teams played to a 10-10 tie, Rafdal racked up three straight kills to post a 13-10 advantage, extending their lead to 17-12 after an Ohio attack error.
Rafdal put Toledo ahead 23-19 in the set, but three straight Bobcat points forced the Rockets to step their game up. A kill from Reidy put the Rockets up by two, and Harkins ended the set with a kill. The Bobcats bounced back in the second set, jumping to an 8-3 lead. UT cut the lead to four at 14-10, but Ohio racked up the next five points to go up 19-10 just before winning the set. Both teams went back and forth in the final set. Toledo and Ohio were tied at 14-14 halfway through the set, but the Bobcats put together a clutch 4-0 run which led to their victory. “When you come to play at OU you pretty much have to be playing at full strength, and they are a top-30 team.” Smith said. “We just tightened up; it was evident that we were not playing our game.” The next day the Rockets were on the road again against the Kent State Golden Flashes (10-11, 4-4 MAC), returning with a 3-1 victory. This victory tied UT for second in the MAC West Division with Western Michigan (12-9, 5-3 MAC). “I thought we bounced back very well, especially

Rockets rally to draw with Ball State, fall to Miami (OH) By Marcus Dodson Sports Reporter
The Toledo Rockets women’s soccer team failed to find the win column on the road this weekend as they tied Ball State 2-2 on Friday and lost to Miami (OH) 2-0 on Sunday. With Sunday’s loss, the Rockets are now 5-10-1 overall and 2-5-1 in the Mid-American conference. This loss also means that Toledo will not be able to post a regular season winning record. On Friday, UT rallied to tie Ball State in come-frombehind fashion in a doubleovertime thriller. Toledo struck first early with a goal from sophomore Kika Hernandez in the 14th minute. Junior Kirsten Catloth played a long ball into the Cardinals box where goalie Brooke Dennis could not keep possession of the ball and deflected it right to Hernandez. She then blasted a shot into the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Toledo had a 1-0 lead with five minutes left in the first half until BSU found its first goal of the match. Ball State’s Michelle Blok knotted the score at 1-1 with her fourth tally of the season in the 42nd minute to even the score right before intermission. About a minute after the score, the Cardinals earned a penalty kick after a Toledo

Harkins jump-started the Rockets in the first set with a 5-1 run that put UT ahead 22-17. She had added a block later as Toledo won the set 25-17. The Rockets attempted to rally in the second set by scoring three straight points to take a 25-24 advantage on a kill from Frazer, a block by Rafdal and a KSU hitting error. The Golden Flashes responded with three straight points to even the match at 1-1. UT started the third set
foul was called in the box. However, BSU’s Kelsey Shapiro’s fired a shot high over the crossbar. Ball State took the lead in the second half with a goal from Gabby Veldman in the 62nd minute, her first goal of the year. Toledo answered with just 15 minutes left in the game thanks to the senior scoring machine Rachel Macleod who blasted home a shot in the 75th minute to tie things up at 2-2. Her team and MAC-best 11th goal of the season and is tied for third for the most goals in school history for a single season. “Tonight’s match was exciting, and I’m proud of the way we battled a good BSU team,” UT head coach Brad Evans said. “We were a bit unfortunate hitting the underside of the crossbar twice after tying the contest. That being said though, we weren’t as potent in overtime.” Macleod’s goal allowed for extra time, a first for the Rockets this season. In extra time, the Cardinals had the best chances to find a winner but second year goalie Sam Tiongson was able to make three key stops for UT. Tiongson was forced to stop a career-high 12 shots in Friday’s thriller. “Sam came up huge with about 10 seconds left in the second overtime to preserve
the point and she was strong throughout the match,” Evans said. BSU finished the game with a 24-19 shot advantage while the Rockets held the edge in corners at 9-3. Macleod had a careerhigh 10 shots in the match. In Sunday’s match against Miami (OH), the Rockets failed to find the scoreboard, losing 2-0. “We played well enough to win and created a nice amount of quality scoring chances,” Evans said. “The difference between us and Miami today was just a play or two. I thought our defense did well against an extremely powerful attack.” This is the second time in two years that the Rockets have been shut out against the Red Hawks. The first 60 minutes of the match went scoreless until Kelsey Dinges fired a shot from 30 yards out that found the back of the net which would turn out to be the game-winning goal. With only seconds remaining in the match, Dinges found her second goal of the game off of a free kick from 10 yards out to seal the game at 2-0. Toledo returns to play this Friday at home against Ohio and then face Kent State on Sunday. The Rockets have three games remaining before the conference tournament begins on Sunday, Nov. 3.
strong with a 14-9 lead. KSU regrouped and scored four straight points to move ahead 18-16. Toledo instantly tied the score at 18-18 and took the lead for good at 23-21 following a Hays kill and Kielty ace. Rafdal managed to end the set with a pair of kills for UT’s final two points. The Rockets ended any attempts by the Golden Flashes to make a comeback in the fourth set, going on a 10-1 run for a 19-11 cushion. Harkins sparked a spurt with four blocks, and Reidy rallied up two aces.
“Kent the week before beat Ohio U, so it’s not like we’re playing a team that’s weak in the conference” Smith said. “We just need to get better little by little. There isn’t anything huge; it’s just getting to be more consistent. We just need to take care of ourselves on our side of the net, and our opponents will take care of themselves.” Toledo will return home for their next four matches, beginning this weekend when they host Miami of Ohio on Friday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m., and Bowling Green on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 5 p.m.
defense with opponents scoring points on just 50 percent of their opportunities. “The defensive coordinator is into his fifth year in the program and they’ve really recruited to what they want to play and how they want to play,” Campbell said. “They’ve got a great plan of it and they do a great job of attacking. The biggest thing they do a great job of is creating turnovers. When you put all that into one box, that’s one of the things that’s really impressive when you watch them on film.” The Falcons stout defense starts up front with a talented defensive line. The unit lost the 2012 MAC defensive player of the year in Chris Jones who was drafted by the New England Patriots after ringing up 12.5 sacks as a senior. However, the defensive front has picked up right where they left off, ranking second in pass defense and fourth in run defense. “Bowling Green seems to always have a pretty good defensive line,” said senior center Zac Kerin. “They’ve always been good in the past and it’s always going to be a battle, just like it was last year. We like playing against good competition; it lets us know where we stand and how we stack up.” The best way for UT to combat BG’s biggest strength is with their own — senior running back David Fluellen, who is third in the nation with 1,006 yards rushing. However, Flu was injured in last Saturday’s win over Navy when his back bent awkwardly after being hit a second time while

But even before that, Campbell’s coaching style was making a difference for Toledo. Hired by then-head coach Tim Beckman as UT’s offensive coordinator in 2009, Campbell’s unit became the 16th-ranked offense in the country during his first season in Toledo. They were able to achieve this despite the loss of senior quarterback Aaron Opelt to injury midway through the season. Under their 33-year-old head coach, Toledo’s offense has become synonymous with the word successful. During Campbell’s first full season as head coach, the Rockets earned a 9-4 record, their first nine-win season since 2005, and an appearance in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Campbell’s winning record at UT is a testament to his greatest asset as a head coach: recruiting. Touted as a “top recruiter” by Rivals back when he was still an assistant, Campbell’s 2013 class saw a record 1,500 prospects visit Toledo’s campus at least once during the season. Out of the 44 players who were given official visits, 29 signed with the Rockets. Also, 19 of the 23 scholarship players were rated three

already down to his knees. His status for Saturday’s game is uncertain. “He was out there today, didn’t practice a whole lot,” Campbell said after practice Tuesday. “We’re going to try to get him going a little bit more tomorrow and we’ll see where he’s at.” If Fluellen can’t go, freshman Kareem Hunt, redshirt freshman Damion Jones-Moore and junior Cassius McDowell will all see time at RB. Hunt carried the ball 15 times for 127 yards and a touchdown after Fluellen went down, but Hunt also sustained an injury, although he practiced Tuesday and looked good, according to Campbell. He’ll play Saturday. One player who won’t be on the field anytime soon is sophomore linebacker Trent Voss, who broke his arm last week. He had surgery Sunday morning and is out for the rest of the regular season.
He could potentially return for a bowl game should UT get invited. “It’s so unfortunate that it happened to Trent because he’s been playing so well of late,” Campbell said. “But the next guy’s got to be ready to step up and play.” He mentioned Vladimir Emilien and Ethan Kagy as players who will see time and try make up for Voss’ 60 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss. This will be the 78th playing of the rivalry, and the Rockets have a chance to shut out Bowling Green’s senior class from ever experiencing a victory over UT. Toledo knows they’ll be walking into a hostile environment. “I kind of like that,” Kerin said. “I like it when people don’t want us to do well, it motivates us. I like the animosity towards us.” Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at Doyt L. Perry Stadium.
or four stars by at least one recruiting service — another new Toledo record which was previously set when Campbell was an assistant under Beckman.
Falcons, Campbell has the Rockets right in the thick of conference competition. This makes Saturday’s game potentially even more memorable, especially if it is their last time competing against one another. To say that both coaches will be swooped up next year may be a little farfetched. This season isn’t over yet, and the way each coach’s respective team finishes out the year will affect Campbell and Clawson’s stock moving forward. And while Clawson has almost 15 years of head coaching experience under his belt, Campbell is relatively unproven, meaning he might have to do more at UT before bigger schools come knocking at his door. There are also personal reasons behind whatever the coaches decide. Both have young families — the Campbells celebrated the birth of their third child at the beginning of the year, all of whom are under the age of 6. The Clawsons have two children and could be reluctant to uproot them from the area. Nothing is certain about either head coach’s future at their respective program. But Saturday at Doyt L. Perry Stadium, Campbell and Clawson will be doing what every Rocket and Falcon fan should be doing: Enjoying it while it lasts.
Both coaches are beginning to make an impression in the college football world, and with that comes the potential to move to a bigger program. UT is no stranger to this practice: the program has lost two of its last three head coaches to bigger schools looking for unique coaching minds to help rebuild their respective teams. College programs know that a great team starts with recruiting, making the current Toledo coach very attractive to schools looking to turn things around. Like Clawson and his

SOCIAL AWARENESS
Interfaith week to celebrate religious diversity
Interfaith Week, an initiative organized by the Office of Student Involvement, the Center for Religious Understanding and the Office of Multicultural Student Success for the purpose of celebrating religion on campus and creating awareness of religion and religious organizations available on campus, will be taking place from Oct. 21 through Oct. 26. A religious diversity workshop lasting from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Student Union Room 2592 will be available this year to students and staff. Events open to the UT community will run throughout the week. For more information, visit utoledo.edu/llss/philosophy/cfru/events.html.
Changes to be made to UT’s Recycling Program UT’s Rocket Recycling program will be updating in order to have bins for office paper, newspaper, metal and plastic with grant money from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The grant allows for the purchase of 2,000 new recycling bins. The existing containers will be relabeled and new containers will be added. In addition to the new contains, there is also a new volunteer program called Rockets Recycle: Green Tailgating. The program has volunteers pass out trash and recycling bags to tailgating fans and later collect and sort the bags into the recycling containers. For more information about the program, contact Brooke Mason at brooke. mason@utoledo.edu or call 419-530-1042.
Sex slavery: what can students do about it? By Amaris Smith Staff Reporter
It’s the awful and unfortunate truth: people are being smuggled, bought and sold like slaves every day in underground human sex trafficking rings. Fortunately, people like Celia Williamson, University of Toledo social work professor, are working to stop it. “[Sex trafficking] is involvement in the sex trade through force, fraud or coercion, or involvement under the age of 18 or involvement in the labor trade through force, fraud or coercion,” said Williamson. The Polaris Project’s website says, “Sex traffickers frequently target vulnerable people with histories of abuse and then use violence, threats, lies, false promises, debt bondage or other forms of control and manipulation to keep victims involved in the sex industry.”
Business students place first in competition Placing first in the 2013 National Supply Chain Case Competition, UT’s College of Business and Innovation supply chain management students won out over 19 other schools, including Bowling Green State University, The Ohio State University, Michigan State University, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Maryland. The competition took place on Oct. 19 through Oct. 21. The team, consisting of Justin Michael Blake, Emily Burghardt, Athreya Rajan and Sasha VonSacken, worked independent of faculty after team selections were made. During the competition in Detroit, the team also had the opportunity to participate in two employment-oriented panel discussions, several sessions on the state of automotive industry supply chain by leading experts in the field, a factory visit to the DetroitHamtramck plant of GM, and several interviews for full-time employment and internships.
Disability studies program to screen awardwinning film “Aaltra” will be shown by UT’s Disability Studies Program in Memorial Field House Room 2100 on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. The film has been awarded with the London Film Festival Fipresci Prize and Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival best actor award. The film stars Benoît Delépine and Gustave de Kervern. The viewing is free to the public. For more information, call 419-530-7244.
CELIA WILLIAMSON UT social work professor
Williamson said human trafficking occurs frequently in the Toledo community and that more students need to be aware of the dangers. “It was only a few months ago that a child sex trafficking sting operation resulted in several arrests right here in Toledo,” said Williamson. “Over 100 youth were rescued by the FBI.” To further support the fact that Toledo is highly involved in sex trafficking, a federal investigation into a prostitution ring in Harrisburg, PA, recovered 151 sex trafficked victims in 2005, 78 of whom were from Toledo. In that same operation, 18 traffickers were arrested,

FACULTY SENATE
Faculty question ‘College Credit Plus’ program By Lindsay Mahaney Staff Reporter
Faculty Senate members voiced their concerns Tuesday that new post-secondary courses they will be in charge of creating will be taken by the university and used without the professor’s oversight or permission. Professors voiced their concerns at the Oct. 22 meeting about an Ohio Board of Regents decision, passed this summer, requiring Ohio universities to participate in an early college program for Ohio high school students. House Bill 59 requires “all state institutions of high education” to participate in a post-secondary option called College Credit Plus, a program that won’t be developed at the University of Toledo until January, according to the senate committee who presented Tuesday.
According to Lawrence AndersonHuang, physics and astronomy department chair and committee head, the initiative will be be purely online at UT. It will consist of videos of UT professors teaching would be uploaded for high school students to view and complete online coursework. Anderson-Huang said the university hopes to implement College Credit Plus by Fall 2014. The guidelines for all of the content must follow the requirements of Transfer Assurance Guides (TAG) courses, so that it could be applied at any Ohio university, AndersonHuang said. Senator Mike Dowd asked who would own the course content once the program was developed and Anderson-Huang said the university would own all content for the courses.
Dowd said after looking over UT’s distance learning agreement, he believes that a department would lose the rights to control how the course is delivered once the university owned the content — making it impossible for faculty members to give input on how the course would be taught. “It indicated that if a faculty member were to do it, it could be the case, or it could be interpreted from this agreement, that the department loses control over scheduling that course in the future, both in distance learning and face-to-face courses,” he said. Senator Paul Hewitt said he was under the same impression he would have no input, even though he’s chair of the mathematics and statistics department. “It is marketed in as many formats as possible, with or without your
input on who’s teaching it, how it’s taught, what format, what materials are used in teaching it — you lose complete control,” he said. Vice Provost John Barrett said that the initiative is coming from Ohio, not UT, and the university is not responsible for how it is organized. “This is a state initiative to try to increase more Ohio students getting college credit, going to Ohio colleges, completing that, to better train our workforce,” he said. “I’m not going to begin to justify everything the Ohio legislature does and the thoughtprocesses that comes out of [the Ohio Board of Regents].” The development of the program is scheduled to begin Jan. 15 and all courses will be available for registration Aug. 15.

Dining decisions illogical
FROM STUDENT GOVERNMENT
UT ignores students’ suggestions in planning dining options Would you go to someone for advice and then ignore it? Our university’s Auxiliary Services would. Or rather, did. Joy Seifert, head of Auxiliary Services (which encompasses dining, parking and other crucial student services), gave a presentation to Student Government in spring 2012 about the university’s dining. She came with a sheet that listed some proposed changes, and asked stuStudents seemed dents to give their feedto be fine with back. Most people were enthuhow things were siastic about adding differwhen Rocky’s Grill ent food vendors, creating a commuter meal plan and sold smoothies combining Dining Doland served as a lars with Rocket Dollars. place where stuStudents weren’t pleased about the proposed cuts dents could grab to dining hours, but they lunch, study or seemed to accept the hang out during university’s argument that students simply weren’t the day. using the dining resources enough to merit them being open. For a moment, it seemed that students and dining services were on the same page. The students were prepared to give a little, because they were expecting to get some of it back in the form of a dialogue with the administration. But where are we now? Now, we do have a commuter meal plan. Also, reduced dining hours, tiny saucer-sized plates in the few dining halls remaining, the same Dining/Rocket Dollar debate, and a Rocky’s Grill that now sells alcohol and puts basil in the grilled cheese. What? The disconnect between dining services and students is staggering, and its best exemplified in the Student Union with the changing of Rocky’s Grill to Rocky’s Pub and Grill. Students seemed to be fine with how things were when Rocky’s Grill sold smoothies and serveed as a place where students could grab lunch, study or hang out during the day. Now, Rocky’s Pub hours are only convenient for students who plan on spending the evening at UT. And up until recently, that’s been reflected in the amount of people you could see in the pub when it was open. A peek into the hard-to-find entrance, and you’d usually see barely a handful of students milling about. Of course, someone in dining services finally fixed one of their bigger mistakes, and Rocky’s began accepting meal swipes — a misstep that took dining services about eight weeks to fix, during which they lost an incalculable amount of possible profit. Then there’s the menu change. Now, no one at The Independent Collegian claims to be an expert food critic. And some of the changes, like the introduction of tater tots and onion rings, are pretty cool. We could even be persuaded to get on board with basil in the grilled cheese. But do you really think a quick-service, on-campus pub is the place to sell fried green tomato sandwiches with jicama slaw? Don’t you think those kind of “high class” menu choices are best left to actual restaurants who aren’t going to just throw a bunch of items into a deep fryer and slap them on a bun? Who asked for an upscale diner? Not the students we’ve heard from. Who asked for more alcohol on campus? Judging from the number of people drinking in Rocky’s Pub, not a whole lot. But let’s not get carried away — at the end of the day, change is not inherently bad. If evidence provided by dining services shows that reducing hours are beneficial, great. If students really are craving Smirnoff Ice with pickle-infused ketchup, fantastic. And even if these aren’t choices students want, there’s hope yet that they can voice their opinion. There’s a survey at www.college-survey.com/toledo that students can fill out in about 10 minutes, and another specifically about a customer’s dining experience at www.utoledo.edu/ offices/auxiliary. But will their words fall on listening ears?
Making life at UT better Hello Rockets! Now that midterms are over, it has come to our attention that there are some important updates your Student Government wants you to know.
Parking We’re sure you have noticed the East Parking Garage has been closed for emergency repairs, and it will reopen around February of next year. In order to help alleviate parking frustrations, we have worked with the administration to open more temporary lots for students. Soon, the other half of DowdNash-White will be resurfaced for more temporary parking. In the future, the temporary parking near engineering will be made into permanent parking.
The commuter lounge Construction has been completed on many of the renovations in the Student Union. Be sure to check out the brand new commuter lounge on the second floor near the Trimble Lounge. There is plenty of hang-out space for commuters in between classes now, but soon there will be lockers, a refrigerator, a microwave and a coffee maker.
Legal services Have you noticed that you pay $10 a semester for legal services? Make sure you use this service whenever you have any legal disputes. This

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Arguments against smoking ban are full of fallacies I find it contradictory, to say the least, that the author of the editorial condemning a possible smoking ban (“Editorial: No to the smoking ban”) defends the rights of smokers on the grounds that the university “should
protect minority rights… whether that be [the rights of] smokers or those against smoking.” The editorial then cites 2010 data that suggest the majority of students at the University of Toledo are OK with smoking on campus, or conversely, that the minority is likely comprised of individuals who disapprove of smoking on campus. Using the same logic of the author, is it not then our duty as a university to protect the rights of these individuals, i.e., specifically the
right not to be unwillingly subjected to second-hand smoke on campus? Protecting these students—this minority—is unquestionably consistent with one of the University of Toledo’s core values, “to improve the human condition.” Because let’s be honest: it is nearly impossible to walk through campus at any given time without noticing students sitting on benches, standing next to doors, and walking down sidewalks while smoking cigarettes. Though many smokers do
choose to follow regulations and use the “smoke huts” provided throughout campus, many students continue to violate the rules willingly and openly. As I cross campus, I consider it my right to take the most direct route to my destination without having to walk through anybody’s cloud of noxious fumes—smoke that is comprised of at least 98 hazardous components, 60 of which are cancer causing (Talhout, et al., 2011). Ultimately, tobacco and its byproducts “improve the
human condition” neither for the smoker nor the bystander. On one final note, the protest conducted by the Young Americans for Liberty on October 15 (“Student group protests proposed smoking ban”) grossly misrepresents the common goals shared by many proponents of a smoke-free campus. Comparing cigarette smoking to the digestion of candy is a textbook example of a straw man argument. Banning smoking throughout campus is as much, if not more, for
the protection of the nonsmoker who is subjected to toxic byproducts as it is for the smoker himself. By ignoring a critical component central to the debate, the protestors likely misled members of our student population. Students at this university deserve fair and complete commentary about the issues surrounding a potential smoking ban, not logical fallacies and contradictions. —Aaron J. Diehr, doctoral graduate assistant, health and recreation professions

PUZZLES BLACK SWAMP SHOWDOWN FUN FACTS Origins of the rivalry
The Peace Pipe Trophy
Located on Interstate 75, just 25 miles apart, the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University were destined to become rivals. The schools’ first clashed on the gridiron in 1924 when UT squeaked by the Falcons 12-7 on a late touchdown scored by captain Gilbert G. Stick. After it was discovered that Stick also played for a local team in Genoa, Ohio, BG President Homer B. Williams demanded that Stick be found ineligible and Toledo forfeit the game. Conference rules, however, did not prohibit such action and thus BG’s protest was overruled, igniting the heated I-75 rivalry.
When the Rockets resumed play against BG, the Peace Pipe was instated as a basketball award. In addition, there allegedly used to be a ceremony involving the schools’ journalistic organizations at halftime of one of the UT-BG basketball games every year. Representatives from each school’s newspaper smoked a six-foot peace pipe, carved from wood. The winning school kept the pipe until the renewal of the tradition the next basketball season. The tradition came to an unceremonious conclusion in 1969 when an unidentified person stole the pipe from the Collegian office. The thief was never caught and the pipe was never recovered. The tradition was brought back in 1980 for football with a miniature peace pipe replica resting atop a trophy created by Frank Kralik, former UT football player, as an award for the victor in the annual battle. Last year, the Battle of I-75 Trophy replaced the Peace Pipe Trophy which was retired following the 2010 season in deference to Native American culture. The Rockets claimed the prize with a win last season, and it currently sits in a trophy case stored in the Larimer Athletic Complex.
The 1935 riot Tensions between the two programs reached unsurpassed heights in 1935 when fans rioted in Toledo following the Rockets 63-0 blowout victory. As a consequence, the Falcons removed UT from their athletic schedule until 1947.
Adding fuel to the fire In 1950, Toledo’s athletic director charged BG students a higher price than the general public for tickets to a basketball game. The price hike came amid rumors of a dog-napping attempt on the Rockets mascot. The following year, Toledo head coach Don Greenwood participated in a fight which broke out after a hard hit by a Falcon on UT fullback Mel Triplett. Greenwood said he had a duty to protect his players if the officials were not going to call penalties for excessive roughness. He resigned when the university failed to back him, stating the school had not done enough to counteract unnecessary violence in the game.

kind of in a middle phase trying to figure out what that’s going to look like.” In addition to Hickey moving into being a graduate assistant, Spann said two more people who had been working with the program are no longer involved: Sarah Clark, who moved on to another employment opportunity, and Jessica Spradley, who is now a stayat-home mother. Spann explained that after the leadership of the program left, he reassigned the two interns in the program to assist the larger organizations of Student Government and Campus Activities and Programming. “When those three people left, the interns were kind of sitting out on the vine, if you will. I have reassigned one of the interns to work with largest student organizations,” Spann said. “We want to make sure they’re getting the support to get a bigger turnout in activities and events.” In addition to this leadership shuffle, renovations to the Office of Student Resources were stalled due to lack of funding and budget cuts. “Administration did what

resolution because she feels regulating how students use their time online would be extremely difficult, and she doesn’t believe many students will support the idea. “There are people who don’t have laptops and want to be able to go onto those social networks, whether it is to network with other organizations or something like that, so you can’t really regulate what they use their time for,” Green said. Duling said as far as communication purposes go, students have the ability to use their student email accounts and text their friends. “As far as social media, I disagree that it is necessary for one’s success in their college career,” Duling said. Senator Ali Eltatawy also voted against the resolu-
Where is that rocket pointing? In 1961, UT acquired a genuine rocket from the U.S. Army missile program. The missile carries fins and a propellant booster capable of guiding the missile to supersonic velocity. The one-ton rocket now sits outside the Glass Bowl, aimed to hit the 50-yard line of BG’s Doyt L. Perry Stadium.
it was supposed to do,” Spann said. “It ceased all movement and all renovation until we took a realistic look at how we were going to attack and tackle the budget deficit.” Faced with the lack of an office and the restructuring of her management, marketing intern Kristin Conley still looks for the positives in the internship that she continues to hold down. “I feel that it’s going good,” said Conley. “It’s just the renovations that are putting us back. But I mean, you can always find a good alternative to try and help … you don’t always have to stall out, you can always find better alternatives to work.” Conley and fellow intern Nya Davis have continued to work despite the lack of an of-
fice or a broad base of clients. “The Resource Room isn’t complete yet so now they really don’t have a physical location to start doing the marketing,” Spann said. Leadership changes and miscommunication have also been bumps in the road, said Conley, who for a time during the start of the internship was unsure of her direction or to whom she reported. “Since people are leaving offices, we’re kind of weary of ‘who’s over me, who do I go to, who’s my boss?’” she said. Spann said UT is hiring a program manager for the Office of Student Involvement, who will work with the marketing internship program. Despite the setbacks, Conley said she has been reaching out to students through social media and word of mouth. She said her primary clients are Student Government, CAP, Black Student Union and Kappa Phi Alpha. “We really just narrowed it down to those three or four, just so we don’t have such a large load,” Conley said. “It’s always a bumpy beginning to a great end, in my opinion,” she said. “Nothing ever starts the way that it’s supposed to, unfortunately. That’s just life.”
tion, and said he felt it was wrongly worded and didn’t make sense. “I think that maybe the best thing for that kind of issue would probably be something like what they have in the library, where someone is allowed to ask you to get off and you have to get off if they need the computer for purposes other than your Facebook or social media or whatever it may be,” Eltatawy said. Senator Clayton Notestine, third-year majoring in political science, was one of four senators who voted against the resolution. He said the wording of the resolution was confusing and had it been reworded, he would have voted for it. “I would have been in more support of putting priority of academic over recreational use, rather than completing getting rid of recreational use,” Notestine
said. “It could be solved on a case by case basis by the resident advisors rather than forcibly put upon everyone. The way the system works is, yes, students are on it right now, and it’s really hard to enforce, especially if you put it in this.” Notestine argued that some students use Facebook and other social media sites to keep in contact with their families out of state or at home. “There is benefits to social interaction and social media on the computer and if you don’t have access to a computer that can be a problem,” Notestine said. When asked why he did not raise a point of debate, he said a student came to him on the floor and was denouncing the very resolution. Notestine said this interaction prevented him from objecting to the vote like he had planned.

not going to get written otherwise,” Duhon said. But Duhon said the point of this particular event isn’t necessarily to have a brilliant novel on the last day of November, but rather to create a starting point to potentially work from. Joshua Manley agrees. He’s the president of the UT Writer’s Guild and a language arts secondary education major, and said he uses NaNoWriMo to learn how to write without obsessing about the details. “As a student who is obsessed with editing, November becomes a month where I do none, and it allows me to write freely across the page,” Manley said. “A rule that I set for myself is whatever I write, and however it turns out on paper, does not get changed until the novel is finished.” With 341,375 participants in 2012, NaNoWriMo expects to have a half million writers join this November. Of those half million worldwide participants, Duhon anticipates about 20-30 students will attend the UT library Come “Write” In sessions. According to Duhon, 100 novels have been published since 2006 out of NaNoWriMo, including Sara’s Gruen’s ‘Water for Elephants’ and Hugh Howey’s ‘Wool’. “How many times have you heard people say, ‘Oh gosh, I could write a novel about that,’” Duhon said. “I think a lot of people feel like they have a novel in them, and probably only a very tiny fraction of people who say that ever get around to carving out the time to do it — and this would teach them that setting aside that time is paramount to getting anything that results in a final product. “It’s not so much the quality at that point as it is the doing it because you have to have something there to go back and edit — you can’t just edit air.” Duhon said with a goal of 50,000 words in 30 days, it works out to be about 1,667 words per day, which requires dedication and holds students accountable.
Duhon said in a formal environment like the library write-in sessions, students can focus and receive practical advice. “Workshop and constructive feedback is the best thing, other than writing, a writer can get from a community, and NaNoWriMo can offer students that,” Manley said. But Duhon advised interested students to consider that participating in the event is not a substitute for learning how to properly write a novel. “This is an exercise in personal discipline and in just getting your creative juices flowing in any kind of draft form, because you can always go back and edit,” Duhon said. Even though so many participate, Duhon said she “wouldn’t be surprised for people to drop out halfway through.”
“I want to reiterate that we do not want this in any way to interfere with schoolwork,” Duhon said. “This is supposed to be fun — if it becomes a dreaded task, then we would not want people to participate. It’s supposed to be fun and energizing and productive and a way to build community.” Manley said it’s okay if participants don’t finish the novel or expected word count within the month. “Writing isn’t a job, it’s a hobby that I enjoy,” he said, “so I write when I can, and if I make 50,000 words, I’m happy. If I don’t, my novel gets finished a couple months later.” For more information or to sign up, visit the NaNoWriMo website at nanowrimo.org.

UT’s Eberly Center helps women in the Toledo area
By Alexandria Saba Staff Reporter
Constance Preston has been a part of the Catharine S. Eberly Center since 2009 and has used their resources to gain multiple job interviews and receive a job in her field of teaching. “It’s a great opportunity and place to be and more people should know about it — and I wish more women would come and utilize the services they have here,” she said. Preston, a Toledo resident, is just one of the 6,000 women who are served by the center every year, which is located in Tucker Hall near the Memorial Field House. Every semester, the center holds different classes that are geared towards helping UT students and people in the community. “The three things we do with everything we offer is we try to educate, empower and engage with our community,” said Emily Hardcastle, the community outreach manager. “We offer programs that range from selfdefense for women to resume writing and resume reviewing. We even have a professional women’s clothing closet.” Everything that the center offers is free for UT students but there is a fee for community members. “The Catharine S. Eberly Center for Women is an excellent resource on campus for women and men alike due to its plethora of professional resources, computer lab and personal and professional development classes, offered weekly and monthly per semester,” said Leisha Lininger, the social media and marketing intern. Although the center is open to both men and women, many of the programs are specifically for women. Nancy Meredith, a Toledo resident, has been involved in multiple classes and activities at the Eberly Center. “I‘ve talked to other women saying, ‘You know, this is really a nice place.’ Everybody is so friendly and I just really enjoy the activities,” she said. “It’s just been really fun and it’s a very positive place.” A lot of programs that the center offers are classroom style, but Adventure Fridays are “experiential learning,” according to Hardcastle. It’s a unique program that allows students and the community to learn about Toledo by visiting different locations like Toledo Botanical Gardens or Arab American Museum, or going through a AAA workshop to learn about car maintenance. Nov. 1 is the final Adventure Friday this semester and the group will be visiting UT’s Ritter Planetarium. Along with Adventure Fridays and the personal and professional development classes, the Eberly center also has a place called Kate’s Closet.

Eberly Center workers pose outside the building, which is located in Tucker Hall. The center is open to both men and women and offers professional development classes weekly and monthly each semester.
Kate’s Closet is a room at the center that is filled with donated women’s professional clothing. It is filled with shoes, suits, tops, bottoms, and accessories like purses. Hardcastle said the staff customizes the closet by sizes for the women who come in. The closet is for any woman who needs to update her professional wardrobe for a job related activity, like a job interview. Hardcastle said the closet is “a really nice resource that we can provide this semester.” Each year, internships are offered to UT students who are interested in working for the center. This year, two UT students have been able to intern for the center. “I absolutely love interning. I work with a lot of wonderful people and meet new ones every day, and I’ve already learned more than I ever could have imagined,” said Taylor Fowler, an intern for Kate’s Closet. Fowler said her job includes scheduling shopping appointments, adjusting the closet inventory to fit the shopper’s needs and communicating with the volunteer style consultants. Fowler said she does marketing for the closet to attract potential shoppers and to attract possible volunteers. “I process our donations given by woman in the community, I work on our overall inventory and I’m about to begin training our new style consultants,” she said. “It’s a lot of behind the scenes work but sometimes I get to help with appointments and create outfits myself. That’s definitely

my favorite part.” Lininger said she posts on the center’s social media account, writes for UT News and engages with the center’s followers and fans. Lininger said she also promotes the center and attends events like the Legacy Celebration. “I love my internship. I can honestly say that this is the best job that I’ve ever had,” Lininger said. Along with internships, the center also offers scholarships to UT students every year. There are six scholarships offered by the center and the deadline for this year is March 14, 2014. The Eberly Center is not just about programming. With amenities like a computer room, a kitchen, a library and a quiet room, women like Pres-
ton view it as so much more. “I come back regularly to use the computer, look up and email different things,” Preston said. “It keeps me on top of what’s going on around me. I don’t know what I would do without it because I can’t afford a computer and things at home so the library and staff here are very helpful.” The center’s hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. “The way that the Eberly Center’s programs teach, empower, and inspire women, students and the community members in general is unbelievable, and it happens every day,” Fowler said. “It’s a great campus and community resource, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”
ON-CAMPUS SPEAKER
Activist to speak about U.S. policy in Middle East
Author Kathy Kelly will come to UT on Sunday, Oct. 27 By Sohan Mutha Staff Reporter
Two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and international activist Kathy Kelly will visit the University of Toledo campus to raise awareness about how U.S. policy affects the Middle East. Kelly, the 60-year-old author of “Other Lands Have Dreams,” is a peace activist who has made many trips to Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon, living alongside the residents during warfare. “Reflections on Warfare in Afghanistan and Gaza: Seeing Through the Smokescreen” is a free lecture set to take place on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 6 p.m. in UT’s McQuade Law Auditorium. Kelly will be available to answer questions from the audience after her presentation. “One thing I want to talk about is the idea of helping the population in Afghanistan,” said Kelly in a phone interview. “Only a tiny amount of [money] has gone towards actual humanitarian development and more money has gone towards drone strikes in Afghanistan.” Kelly is a co-coordinator of Voices of
Creative Nonviolence, a campaign to end U.S. military and economic warfare. “The pain and suffering that the people in Iraq have met through this country means we have a responsibility towards them, as that was a war of choice and not a war of necessity,” she said. The lecture will be hosted by the UT Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) with Pax Christi of Corpus Christi University Parish and the Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition (NWOPC).
If you go What: Kathy Kelly will speak to raise awareness about how U.S. policy affects the Middle East. Where: UT McQuade Law Auditorium. When: Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. Sponsored by: UT Students for Justice in Palestine with Pax Christi of Corpus Christi University Parish and the Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition.
“Her whole life is devoted to standing with the poor and the oppressed,” said Anne Abowd, a member of the NWOPC and affiliated with Pax Christi. “So she’s been to Palestine after the terrible bombing of Gaza where so many civil-
ians were killed. She’s lately been mostly in Afghanistan with a peace team to be witness to U.S. bombings by drones that are killing so many civilians and again, even children and most Americans aren’t aware of this.” Nick Parodi, a fifth-year exercise science major and president of the UTSJP, said Kelly will discuss what people outside of Palestine and Israel can do to aid the regions. Parodi said the objective of the lecture is about “raising awareness, getting more people involved, getting people to know what issues are at hand.” “This event is a great opportunity to hear a well-known peace activist speak,” said Farouk Abu Alhana, a senior biology major and the vice-president of the UTSJP in an email interview. “Even if attendees have differing opinions than those of Kelly, we hope that everyone will gain new insights about world events and international relations.” Abowd said she hopes the event will act as an educational experience. “Kids are learning more about the world and we always hope the students will take advantage of these kind of talks,” Abowd said. The lecture will take place Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. in the McQuade Law Auditorium and admission is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

Instagram Instagram gives you access to limited-time, spur-of-the moment deals. An online store like ShopJeen automatically give their followers a 10 percent off coupon code in the bio of the company profile as incentive for following them. ShopJeen is aware of how often people get on Instagram (it has become second to breathing), and will make posts like “75% Off the Entire Store NOW!” just to get rid of select inventory to make room for new shipments. While the seasons are changing, frequenting your favorite store’s Instagram will do you justice. Other online retailers like Karmaloop consistently post coupon codes on Instagram that require you to spend a certain amount (4050 percent off when you spend $100 or 25 percent off when you spend $50). This may seem like they just want you to spend more money, but you are actually given the chance to get more bang for your buck. Start off by tailoring your search
Texting Companies have started to send out coupon offers through text messages. Since most phone providers offer unlimited texting, receiving coupon codes are another way to stay updated before the holiday rush starts. Avoid standing in the ridiculously long lines at Best Buy by texting DEALS to 332211 to get the Deals of the Day. Some stores offer coupons as soon as you subscribe to them through text messages. Kohl’s offers an automatic 10 percent off code when you text SAVE to 56457. This may not seem like a lot, but you would be discounting items that are already discounted. Being a department store, Kohl’s has gifts for everyone ranging from co-workers to significant others. Macy’s offers a limited time 15 percent off coupon for the month of October when you text CAMPUS to 62297. The coupon is geared towards college students, and also gives you a chance to win $25,000
