PTS ﬁnds fake parking permits BY MARCEL MAYO HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU Four students total were caught with fake parking permits. Fake parking permits were being used in the Pearce-Ford Tower and Barnes lots according to Jennifer Tougas, the director of Parking and Transportation Services. There was another instance of a fake parking permit that didn’t follow the same pattern as the others, but where Parking and Transportation located the permit is uncertain. “It was probably about two weeks ago when we saw the first permit,” Tougas said. This isn’t the first time a situation like this has happened. “Every year we see altered permits, lost and stolen permits,” Tougas said. Tougas said she is unsure of how long the permits were being used on campus before Parking and Transportation noticed. Tougas said students who take advantage of fake parking permits are doing so illegally. Tougas said the fake parking permits came to her attention when Parking and Transportation noticed a different-looking permit placed in the wrong parking lot. The first car was booted for being in the wrong lot, and the student responsible was charged a $50 boot fee and given a $100 citation for falsifying a permit. Using fake permits on campus is a code of conduct violation, Tougas said. Students who violate the code are referred to Judicial Affairs. Director of Judicial Affairs Michael Crowe then decides on disciplinary actions for those students. The Herald reached out to Michael Crowe but has yet to receive a response in time for print. Every school year, Parking and Transportation changes both the permits’ appearance and the security features that come with them. This helps determine which permits are valid or invalid. Due to the fake permits’ similar visual traits and the students’ similar stories, Parking and Transportation took further action. “We saw the first permit and went through that regular process. Then, the next week, we saw two more permits that had the same pattern,” Tou-

New HCIC restaurant opens Monday BY TOMMY SULLIVAN HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU With the Honors College and International Center constructed and dedicated, one facet of completion remains. Passport Bistro, HCIC’s first-floor restaurant, is tentatively scheduled to open Monday, Nov. 2, according to resident district manager of Aramark Steve Hoyng. “We’re excited about offering a new venue for the students,” said Hoyng. “We’re still working to make sure the equipment works to get people working.” Passport Bistro’s menu features breakfast, salads, lunch, desserts and ecogrounds, which include coffees, hot chocolates, smoothies and teas.

"We wanted to do something different from the other places around campus,” said Hoyng. The international menu will contain some locally sourced ingredients like spices from Bowling Green’s international markets. However, most of the main items will come from Dining Services’ typical providers. “We tried to do a little bit of everything,” said Hoyng. Breakfast options are quesadillas, pita, fruit and yogurt, among other options. They range in price from about $3 to $5. Salads cost about $4 with a choice among caesar, garden and Mediterranean varieties. Sandwiches dominate the lunch menu with panini, gyros, pita and other options. They cost from about

$3.50 to $5.50. For dessert, students can order baklava, cannoli, gelato or tiramisu. Prices vary from about $2 to $4. Passport Bistro will have meal-swipe options available and will also accept cash and meal plan dollars. Alexis Corbin, a junior from Lawrenceberg, has class in HCIC every day and is excited to have tea so close to her classes. Although she doesn’t have meal plans, she still plans on dining at Passport Bistro. Corbin hopes Passport Bistro will help students expand their tastes because she fears most students frequently eat the same meals. She wants students to be inspired to eat creatively at home.

WKU advises hammock fans to take care of trees BY SAMANTHA WRIGHT HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU On a bright sunny day on WKU’s campus, one would not have to look far to find students relaxing leisurely in a hammock. However, while students are relaxing, the trees might be stressing. Recently, many campuses across the U.S. have banned hammocks due to the damage they can inflict on trees. Universities such as Michigan State University, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and other colleges have banned the popular activity on their campuses. According to an article called “Want to Hang Out? Some Colleges Say No to Hammocks” in the Wall Street Journal, some colleges cite damage to trees as their primary reason for banning

hammocks. Damage is caused by the repeated tying of ropes that erode the tree’s bark and expose sensitive layers underneath. Colleges who enacted the ban also cited safety hazards. Leah Hopwood, campus arborist for WKU, said hammocks do not usually cause damage to trees unless the tree is too small or damaging straps are used. “Of course, it depends on the size of the tree and what is being used to secure the hammock as well as how the hammock is being used,” Hopwood said. “A hammock should never be hung from a tree any smaller than 6-inch caliper.” She added the nylon straps commonly used do not hurt the trees unless they are misused. Hopwood said she does not believe hammocks will be banned here as long

a2 BISTRO Continued from FRONT However, Corbin also anticipates long lines once Passport Bistro opens. “I hope it doesn’t get backed up,” she said. Glasgow native and freshman Pate Shipley has class in HCIC twice a week. He said he wants to see the restaurant bring students together in the new building. “I think it’s cool that it’s here,” said Shipley.

HAMMOCKS Continued from FRONT as people respect the trees. “I do not think that will become an issue as long as [the hammocks] are properly used and the trees are respected,” she said. Regarding trees that might be more at risk, Hopwood said some have thinner bark that could result in bark damage, but as long as the trees are the right size, there should not be any major problems. She also said wider straps help prevent digging or damage to the bark and urged hammock-owners never to use anything that would puncture the tree. Hopwood said students can prevent harm by making sure they use proper straps and avoiding trees that are too small to hang from. “WKU students have shown their love for our beautiful campus and seem to appreciate the trees,” she said. “Ensuring that the tree is not too small and proper straps are being used will alleviate a lot of problems.” Alex Knipp, a sophomore from Olive Hill, said everyone who hammocks tries to be kind to the environment. “I don’t know of anyone who ham-

Because Dining Services doesn’t know how popular Passport Bistro will become, there are not official hours of operation. Hoyng expects the restaurant to open between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. and to close around 4:00 p.m. “Anything is a possibility,” said Hoyng. “We’re hoping it’s busy.” The restaurant has added new jobs, but Hoyng does not know exactly how many more will be added. “It will depend on how busy Passport Bistro becomes,” said Hoyng.

mocks who isn’t trying to make sure they protect the space they’re in,” Knipp said. “It’s like some unspoken rule that you use good ties, and you pick up after yourself, and it’s all about being in nature so most people’s goal isn’t to hurt that nature.” Knipp said she feels schools that have banned hammocks are cheating students of opportunities to relax. “I think that they’re depriving them of a good stress reliever,” she said. “It’s just a really effective way to destress and reconnect to nature and to take a place to meditate and relax, and I feel like those students are going to be deprived of that.” Knipp added that stress relief is important for many reasons. “I think that stress relief goes a long way in helping you stay on top of schoolwork and be productive, so I feel really bad for them, and I hope their school doesn’t see a struggle with students coping with stress,” she said. Knipp said everyone is trying to ensure hammocking spaces can be used for years to come. “Most people are very proactive in making sure that the space they’re in is preserved so we can keep enjoying it,” she said.

PERMITS Continued from wherever gas said. Tougas said Parking and Transportation sent an email to faculty and staff after it discovered more fake permits on campus. “I think we found four of them in total before we sent an email out,” Tougas said. Tougas said the email must have been effective because Parking and Transportation hasn’t found any more fake permits since the notice. The purpose of the email was to alert students of how serious falsifying permits is and to notify them of the consequences. Tougas said fake permits are not fair to students who are on the waiting list to park on campus. Parking and Transportation has been trying hard to shorten the list and address students’ requests for parking. “We’re working through those waiting lists as quickly as we can,” said Tougas. “We’re constantly monitoring

COLLEGE HEIGHTS HERALD what parking is available so we can move people off the waiting list.” Tougas said Parking and Transportation is still uncertain about who is distributing the fake parking permits. “We don’t know who the individual was that was selling the permits, but once that’s in Judicial Affairs, it’s really up to them whether they go after that person too,” Tougas said. Tougas said Parking and Transportation might use different methods for parking permits in the future. “There are different technologies you can use,” said Tougas. “I was at the University of Georgia before I came here. We saw the same thing there; people were using fake decals.” Tougas said although Parking and Transportation will continue to enforce the parking permit rules, finding a few fake parking permits isn’t a huge issue. “It’s such a small fraction of what we see,” Tougas said. “It’s not such a rampant problem that we feel like we have to do something drastically different to prevent it.”

a3 Symphony concert promotes Halloween theme WKUHERALD.COM

BY ALEX SANDEFUR

HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU

The Symphony at WKU will have its third concert this Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Van Meter Hall’s auditorium. The concert will have a Halloween theme, and the symphony will play pieces that evoke a “Halloween-type feelings,” according to Brian St. John, WKU’s orchestra conductor. “I want to build a season with engaging variety,” St. John said. “I wanted a unifying theme for the season.” This season’s overall theme is It’s Time for the Symphony, and Friday’s

OCTOBER 29, 2015

performance is called It’s Time for a Treat! The symphony will be performing Gioachino Rossini’s “Cinderella” overture and Camille Saint-Saens’s “Danse Macabre” along with other pieces by Hector Berlioz and Modest Moussorgsky (or Mussorgsky). Suzanne Moore, a sophomore violinist in the symphony, agreed with St. John and said the pieces they are performing have a spooky sound. “The pieces all have a backstory, like an urban legend,” Moore said. “They are all dark and dreary.” St. John said he chooses pieces by balancing what audiences want to

hear with what they need to hear; he also makes choices that build student musicians’ repertoires. Scott Harris, the head of the WKU music department, said St. John is very attuned to his students’ needs. “[St. John] certainly hit the ground running,” Harris said. This is St. John’s first year as conductor of the symphony. Harris is helping to guide St. John through his first season. The symphony will have one more concert this semester on Dec. 6. According to Harris, the symphony usually has five concerts per year: three in the fall and two in the spring.

Moore said the symphony practices all semester long for its concerts. “It’s nice to see everyone come together cohesively and musically,” Moore said. “It’s kind of rough in the beginning, but as it goes on, it gets better.” Moore said the string section practices every Tuesday, and the full symphony practices on Thursdays. As concert time draws nearer, the full symphony practices both Tuesdays and Thursdays. According to Moore, students get one course credit hour for performing in the symphony. Tickets for It’s Time for a Treat! are on sale now. They are $22 for adults and $5 for students.

Student, management speak on Aramark employment BY ALEX SANDEFUR HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU According to the student employment enrollment requirements, student workers on campus are usually limited to working 20 hours a week at their job. However, the Aramark Corporation does not limit the numbers of hours students workers can be at their jobs. Gary Meszaros, vice president of Business and Auxiliary Services, said the reason Aramark can schedule its workers for more hours is because it is considered a third party, separate from WKU. It has its own accounting system that is not affiliated with the school. “It would just be like getting a job

somewhere off campus, like at Old Navy,” Meszaros said. Steve Hoyng, resident district manager of Aramark, said most student employees work under 20 hours. Hoyng said it depends on the worker because individual managers of each restaurant on campus make the schedule . “The managers really try to work with your schedule,” Hoyng said. Diamond Darling, a sophomore from White House, Tennessee, recently quit her job at Fresh Food Company. She said she regularly worked over 20 hours per week. “If you’re going to work in food, you can expect to work more than 20 hours,” Darling said. “It’s usually not more than 30 though.” Darling started working at Fresh last year

as a freshman. She worked in the bakery, which she said was severely understaffed. “I worked a lot more than I wanted,” Darling said. “I usually worked 25 to 32 hours a week.” Darling said she usually worked 21 hours on the weekend and another five-hour shift during the week, which did not leave her with a lot of other time to do the things she wanted to do. Darling said one of the reasons she switched jobs is because she felt she missed out on a lot of opportunities. She now works at the Greenwood Mall in Bowling Green. Hoyng agreed the restaurants on campus are struggling to fill their positions and offered an explanation. “The Bowling Green unemployment

rate is at an all-time low. The restaurant industry likes a high unemployment rate because there are more workers to choose from,” Hoyng said. Hoyng says there are benefits to working for Aramark on campus. One is a free meal for workers on the job. Another is not having to leave campus to work. Hoyng also said Aramark pays more than the average student job on campus. “Pay is based on experience and talent,” Hoyng said. Darling said she liked and even missed her old job at Fresh. “I didn’t mind my job,” Darling said. “I just didn’t want to stress about something that I shouldn’t be stressed about. I would rather have my time over the money.”

SGA passes resolution to support more bike-friendly campus BY MARCEL MAYO HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU Bicycling on campus might become a little easier. The Student Government Association passed a resolution on Tuesday to support a more bike-friendly campus. Resolution 5-15-F, Resolution to Support a More Bikeable Campus, was passed unanimously. The resolution supports WKU’s continued repairs of bike lanes on universityowned property. It also creates an initiative to make WKU more bike-friendly through the creation of a map of bike lanes.

SGA senator Jody Dahmer, author of the resolution, said a map is already in the process of being created by the Campus Improvements Committee. “Campus Improvements is already drafting a bike map with different bike racks on campus,” Dahmer said. He said students have problems with deciding whether to ride on the road or to use the sidewalks. “There’s no designated bike path around campus,” Dahmer said. “There have been collisions in the past.” The senate also passed Bill 6-15-F, Funding from Organizational Aid Appropriations for WKU Red Wave, Phi Gamma

Delta, Relay for Life, Multicultural Journalists and Best Buddies at Western Kentucky University, with a 19-2 vote. During his report, SGA President Jay Todd Richey showed a video clip from the official “It’s On Us: Sexual Assault PSA” organization and a similar video from the University of Alabama to provide more context for SGA’s video. SGA is still in the process of making WKU’s “It’s On Us” video. some students from the art department spoke to SGA to ask for funding for a 3-D printer and scanner. If provided with the 3-D printer and scanner, art students might be able to

initiate a class with help from art department professors. The total cost for the printer and scanner would be a little over $1,500. SGA Chief Justice Kelsey Luttrell brought up a recurring issue for student mothers: the need for resources on campus. Luttrell said students should have formal maternal and paternal leave similar to the University of Kentucky’s. “UK has a maternal leave,” Luttrell said. “It’s like two weeks. I don’t see why we can’t establish a maternal leave.” She also said the creation of a pregnancy and parent resource center could be beneficial for student mothers.

CHECKING UP

Don’t let low self-esteem eat away at your health HERALD.OPINION@WKU.EDU Unrealistic expectations of human bodies are plastered all over billboards, TV advertisements and magazines. Viewers often visualize themselves in different skins and different features Morgan with that they think will Profumo make them better in some way. What the media doesn’t realize CHECKING UP: Conscious is that its deliberate stab to an individual’s choices for healthy living distinctiveness results in self-destruction. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, 69 percent of girls in grades five through 12 stated that pictures of other women in magazines had influenced their

idea of a perfect body. Most fifthgraders are 10 years old and by this age have been exposed to many magazines containing pictures of women and men who all maintain the “ideal” body type. They grow up in a society that introduces them to “good” bodies and “bad” bodies in a manner that makes it seem like these definitions are finite. As they age, their bodies go through puberty, and they soon realize that not everyone can be like women and men in magazines. However, they still strive for their bodies to look like these images. They go to the gym every day and eat healthy but still wake up every morning with a body that isn’t good enough. When they look in a mirror, they don’t like what they see. Healthy efforts are aborted, and they may adopt unhealthy weight loss habits. More than half of the country’s teenage girls and nearly a third of its teen-

age boys engage in behaviors such as skipping meals, taking laxatives, smoking, fasting or vomiting as a form of weight control, according to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. Some people will go to extreme lengths to attain the goal of a perfect body, and their methods may be detrimental to their health. Habitual and repeated unhealthy behaviors could result in an eating disorder. According to the National Eating Disorder Association, the most commonly known eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. NEDA’s website cites a 2011 review of almost 50 years of research that confirms anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder. If you suspect you are forming unhealthy weight control habits, consider visiting the Counseling and Testing Center located in Potter Hall.

“Thank Your Lucky Stars” by Beach House

2015 has been a good year for Beach House fans. The Baltimore-based dream pop band released its fifth album “Depression Cherry” in August and just gave us another full-length album: “Thank Your Lucky Stars.” Fans of the group have good reason to be thankful for another record, but it will probably do little to change the minds of others. The album opens with “Majorette,” a title that fits perfectly with the sonic movement of the song. Shimmering guitars and churchlike organs spin around the track, twirling like psychedelic batons. The dance continues throughout the album with singer Victoria Legrand choreographing multiinstrumentalist Alex Scaly’s dreamscapes on tracks like “She’s So Lovely”

"II" By Fuzz

"DIVERS" By JOANNA NEWSOM

It’s safe to say that garage rock wizard Ty Segall is a total workaholic. The multi-instrumentalist has made records with six different bands and has an exhaustive solo discography. The prospect of getting into his music may seem intimidating. Fortunately, his latest output with the band Fuzz is a great place to start. The band’s sophomore album, aptly-titled “II,” is an album best heard at loud volume. The guitars are fuzzy, the drums are thunderous and the vocals are seldom pretty. Such a description makes the band sound like a metal group, which — in a very loose way — they are. They are metal in the same way groups like Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer are with slow tempos, sludgy riffs and skeletal instrumental arrangements.

Joanna Newsom comes across as a strange, mythical voice from long ago reminding a generation of technology-obsessed listeners to remember a more simple time in which music appealed to the folks. But what kinds of folks are Newsom addressing in her lyrics? “Divers,” Newsom’s first studio album in five years, is all over the map in terms of both lyrics and instrumentation. Newsom once again proves she’s not a one-trick pony. Analog synthesizers, Nashville-style guitars and delicate piano touches enchant the record in a way that brings life to the eclectic subject matter. On the title track, Newsom sings, “See how the infinite divides/and the divers are not to blame/for the rift spanning distant shores.” One would be hard-pressed to label lyrics such as these that transcend the human condition as “folk.”

Mountain's PHOTO STORY BY NICK WAGNER Call Arnold and Odessa Clark, his wife, make their way to the Frankfort Veterans of Foreign Wars for a dance.

very October, the WKU photojournalism department travels to a different town in Kentucky to spend a week documenting the community. This year the group traveled to Frankfort for the 40th Annual Mountain Workshops. Over the course of the week, students were mentored by professionals from the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine and other publications. The students produced dozens of video pieces and more than 40 photo stories. "It's a nonstop visual immersion," photojournalism professor and Mountain Workshops director Tim Broekema said. "To be surrounded by that for four straight days is an education that you don't get sitting in a classroom for three hours a week." In the following story, Ada, Minnesota junior Nick Wagner documented Arnold Clark, an 87-year-old master of flattery whose presence demands attention every time he walks inside a room.

Cards Against Humanity may be just “a party game for horrible people,” according to the game’s website, but that didn’t stop the company from helping undergraduate women studying in scientific fields. According to the Huffington Post, the card game creators are now offering full four-year scholarships to women in STEM fields: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Science Ambassador Scholarship is fundraising through the sale of a $10 science-themed expansion pack. “Women are underrepresented in science, tech, engineering, and math,” Cards Against Humanity co-creator Josh Dillon said in a press release. “We felt like the funding from this pack could have the greatest impact by making it possible for more women to get an education in those fields, and by giving them a platform to share their work and their passion for science.” According to the scholarship’s website, over half a million dollars have been raised thus far. Fifty women working professionally in engineering and science make up the scholarship’s panel of judges. “We desperately need diversity in science because the alternative makes no sense,” scholarship board member Veronica Berns said in the press release. “So often girls are told in both overt and subtle ways that they aren't able to be good at math and science.” WKU is also making advances in the advocacy of women in science. “If you actually look at the number of undergraduate women who choose to major in the sciences, it’s pretty good in math, biology, chemistry, agriculture and social sciences like psychology,” said Cheryl Stevens, the dean of the Ogden College of Science and Engineering. “About half, or a little more than half, are women.” Stevens added, however, that this was not the case for all STEM fields. “The engineering, manufacturing and computer science … are very underrepresented for lots of reasons,” she said. Women remain an underrepresented group in STEM, the Huffington Post said. In the United States, women make up only 12 percent of the engineering workforce and 26 percent

Skeleton’s Lair Scream Park proves to be ‘decent at best’ BY NICOLE ARES HERALD.FEATURES@WKU.EDU On Friday, Oct. 23, five of the Herald’s editors ventured through the backroads of Allen County to take on Skeleton’s Lair, an outdoor and supposedly haunted scream park. At best, the park’s components were well thought out. At worst, the night’s scariest moment was almost stepping on a garter snake as we walked down the trail.

After driving 30 minutes down winding country roads and almost crashing into two drivers who decided to stop in the middle of the street, we arrived at the park. The path leading up to the attraction was lit by an assortment of dangling white lights that were enchanting and entirely out of place. This would not be the last time elements of the park didn’t match the “haunted” theme. After purchasing $22 tickets and documenting the adventure with a

Students share costume plans for Saturday BY BRITTINY MOORE HERALD.FEATURES@WKU.EDU A recent Huffington Post article, “The Most Popular Halloween Costume in Every State,” named the scarecrow as Kentucky’s costume of choice. The data was collected by Google analysts who kept track of Halloween costume search queries from Sept. 8 to Oct. 8. While the Huffington Post claims 2015 is Kentucky’s year of the scarecrow, there may not be any hay and patchwork overalls in Bowling Green on All Hallows' Eve. Some WKU students have different costume plans in mind. “That’s actually really surprising,” Cora Lee, a junior from La Grange, said. “I’ve never been a scarecrow.” Lee is planning on spreading her wings and transforming into a ladybug this Halloween. “I have always loved ladybugs,” Lee said. “My grandmother called me that before she passed away, and now I actually get to be one.” While Lee is excited for this year's costume, her all-time favorite costume is one she wore last year when she became Captain America. “A lot of time was put into that costume, and it came out great,” Lee said.

series of haunted houses, wax figures, bad acting and — much to our enjoyment — slides. It’s funny how most of the people on the “haunted” trail were smiling and laughing simply because they got to ride down slides. As we neared the end of the trail, we stumbled across an actor who told us, “You’re all going to die.” This was prior to an “X-Files” exhibit, and Andrew Henderson, an avid follower of the show, retaliated with “I can die happy now because I have found the truth!” The rest of the night consisted of a

hayride complete with fake cannibals, men on stilts and another out-of-place display: a giant billboard advertisement. I guess corporate America can be the stuff of nightmares. Despite being let down at every attraction, we still anticipated a fright from special guest Tom Morga, who stunted for the characters Michael Myers in “Halloween 4,” Jason in “Friday the 13th Part 5” and Leatherface in “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.” At the end of the night, we finally came face-to-face with Morga during the last element of the park. As we left

the haunted hayride and proceeded down a dimly lit path, we saw Morga blocking the exit. Yet he wasn’t wearing a hockey mask or wielding a chainsaw, and there was no chef’s knife in sight. Instead Morga sat, pen in hand, signing autographs and selling merchandise. It seemed like a complete waste not to utilize a professional scarer in a scream park. Autographs are nice, but having Morga chase me through a field would have been a bit more memorable. Until next year, Skeleton’s Lair — but probably not.

work environment to be more supportive of women,” she said, “and not just women, but anyone who has challenges such as family situations.” Stevens is currently working on a grant proposal with Margaret Crowder, a geology instructor for the department of geography and geology, to help WKU develop a strategy for institutional transformation to create an environment that all women can be successful in. Crowder said she was fascinated by the field at a young age thanks to her mom, a science teacher. “[What] happens with a lot of young women growing up is if they

don’t have the support or they don’t have the mentoring, they don’t see themselves as being a scientist,” Crowder said. WKU partnered with Ogden and SKyTeach to host Girls in Science Day this month. The event provided interactive sessions and interaction with women in STEM professions to gradeschool girls to become involved with science first hand. “We [need] to open the doors for opportunities for them to do hands-on activities to realize that yes, they can do these things, and yes, these things are fun and engaging,” Crowder said. “We have to make a conscious effort to

make sure we put images out there — the positive imagery of women doing science — in front of young girls and young women growing up.” Crowder also noted that women bring different experiences to groups that strengthen decision making, creativity and, ultimately, the scientific field. “If women aren’t represented in numbers, then people think, ‘It’s too hard for them; it’s too geeky for them,’” Stevens said. “It’s not until we get enough women in leadership positions that, as women are coming up through the ranks, they say, ‘I can do that too.’”

Costumes that require less time and little money seem to be popular on campus. Edmonds says last year he created a costume straight from his wardrobe. “My favorite, I believe, has to be the lumberjack — partly because I didn’t have to pay a dime,” Edmonds said. “I had all the lumberjack-ish clothing in my wardrobe, and I pulled it off.” Louisville sophomore Megan Dowdell is also looking to keep her

Halloween attire cheap and simple by dressing up as a baseball player. “[I will] probably be a baseball player this year,” Dowdell said. “I already own everything I need but a jersey.” Other students have decided to get into the Halloween spirit by channeling their favorite characters of televisions shows and movies. Smiths Grove senior Dakota Compton is transforming into the charac-

ter Eddie from “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” “I love going to 'Rocky Horror',” Compton said. “Even though I may not get to go [this year], I would still love to dress up like I am.” Whether there are students in flannel and patchwork overalls or not, there's still sure to be a nightmare ot two lurking through the streets this Saturday.

WKUHERALD.COM IRIS DUNN Continued from SPORTS liked the campus, and I just really liked the team and the people here,” said Dunn. “They just kind of made me feel like I was at home.” Dunn got into soccer the same way many other kids do — by playing recreational soccer. Dunn started at age 5. Dunn was a four-time AllDistrict selection at Coral Shores and thus a four-time member of the Florida Olympic Development Program. In Dunn’s first season on the Hill, she showed her value to WKU’s program by producing one of the finest seasons of any player in 2013. Dunn received recognition as a Second-Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection and was named to the NSCAA All-South Region Second Team. All this followed after Dunn recorded a team-high score in goals with seven and added one assist in her first collegiate campaign. During Dunn’s freshman campaign, she showed not only that she had an eye for the goal but also that she could perform in high-pressure situations. Five of her seven goals were game winners. These five marked the most game-winning goals in program history from a first-year player and the second most overall. After her first season’s grand entrance, Dunn followed up with a sophomore campaign that included five goals, a mark she already equals this season with one more game to play in the regular season Thursday, Oct. 29. In October of 2014, Dunn was awarded the C-USA Play-

er of the Week and scored the second most goals of any player on the team. With Dunn’s five goals this campaign, she also has one assist, 46 shots and a tie with teammate Hannah Chua for 11 points contributed during the C-USA portion of the season. Yet when Dunn was asked about her favorite part of playing for WKU, she did not mention the goals. Instead, she pointed to the relationship she has with the rest of the team and the coaching staff. “I like how close we are. Some teams can be just business, and I mean, they play well together on the field, but we’re also very close outside of soccer,” Dunn said. “It’s a really great experience.” Dunn is also aware that this closeness is part of why she and the rest of the team have found success. “I think it helps us play better as a team rather than a bunch of individuals, and in soccer, that’s very important to be able to play against some of the higher quality teams,” Dunn said. Head Coach Jason Neidell and the coaching assistants describe Dunn as a dedicated and fearless player. They say

Neidell says you can infer that Iris Dunn learned much of her tenacity, competitiveness and intensity from her father and his career. “He’s definitely been a role model for me throughout my whole life,” Dunn said. “I’ve always wanted to be like him, and I’ve always wanted to have the same passion and drive that he has. He’s always pushed me in that direction.” A shared interest in athletics has definitely forged a bond

between Dunn and her father. Iris Dunn said sports have helped them make a different kind of connection that might not be the same if they both weren’t wired to compete at the highest possible level. Although sports have played an important role in their relationship, Iris Dunn does not see her father as just a football player or an athlete. As a father, his influence extends far beyond her soccer career. “My dad is a really great guy. He’s always been kind and generous to people,” Dunn said. “He might be a huge, strenuous football player, but he’s very soft at heart, and he’s always helped me in every way he can. I really appreciate it.”

this late in the year just knowing we are wrapping it up with them,” Hudson said. “It’s some time that I won’t have with them for much longer.” The Lady Toppers have their Halloween matchup with Rice on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. in Houston and will take on the Miners of UTEP on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. “In order to be successful, we need to do the little things, and I think we are beginning to do that,” Hudson said.

Family breeds Dunn's competitive mentality BY HUNTER FRINT HERALD.SPORTS@WKU.EDU Dedication, passion and talent are three of many words that have been used to describe Iris Dunn’s career in soccer. It began recreationally when she was 5 years old and has led to her being a key player and main attacking option for the WKU soccer team. Dunn’s coaches and teammates say these qualities have contributed to her three successful years as a forward on the team with 17 goals so far in competitive play. Dunn said she learned from her fam-

ily that natural athletic ability is perfected by hard work and practice. The Pittsburg Steelers drafted Dunn’s father Gary Dunn in the sixth round of the 1976 NFL Draft — a pick that flourished into a prosperous 12-season career in the National Football League. Alongside players like “Mean” Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, Gary Dunn portrayed the same athletic qualities his daughter would display on the soccer field almost 40 years later. “My dad is for sure my greatest influence,” Dunn said.

Her father tallied 18 sacks, nine fumble recoveries, 105 starts and 146 games played in his time with the Steelers. Gary Dunn was team captain for four years, ranked ninth in the Steelers’ all-time sacks list and is a two-time Super Bowl Champion. Iris Dunn came to WKU from Tavernier, Florida, in 2013 as a freshman after a club career at Pinecrest Premier, a high school career at Coral Shores High School and a successful run in the Olympic Development Program. “When I first came and visited, I really

Head Coach Travis Hudson and the Lady Topper volleyball team are back on the road after another two sweeps in Diddle Arena last weekend. The squad was able to capture its 12th and 13th sweeps of the season with wins over UAB and Florida Atlantic. The Lady Toppers are currently No. 22 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Coaches Top 25 Poll and will be hitting the road this weekend riding a 17-game win streak. The team has not lost since early September. The Lady Tops saw their national ranking stay steady at No. 22 when the AVCA poll was released on Monday due to strength of schedule even though WKU has more wins than any other team in the Top 25 with 23. It is, in fact, the only AVCA Top 25 team with 20 or more wins this season “I’m not worried about that,” Hudson said. “We are just trying to go out and win games and stay in this hunt to win a championship.” The Lady Toppers have a long road trip down to Texas this weekend to face Rice in Houston on Saturday followed by a clash with the University of Texas at El Paso on Sunday. The trip to Texas comes just five days before the Lady Tops will travel to Miami and Boca Raton, Florida, for clashes with Florida International and Florida Atlantic next week, but despite the impending travel, Hudson is focused on taking the rest of the schedule game by game. First off is Rice, a team Hudson said will definitely present a challenge to his squad. “Rice is one of the best teams in the league,” Hudson said. “Us in their building is going to be a big-time match for sure.” With a 16-8 overall record and a 7-2 record at home, the Owls have a tested team.

BY BILLY RUTLEDGE HERALD.SPORTS@WKU.EDU The WKU football team will look to rebound this week against a Conference USA foe. The Old Dominion Monarchs (3-4, 1-2) will host the Hilltoppers (6-2, 4-0) for the ninth game of the season. In refocusing his squad, Head Coach Jeff Brohm knows now is the time for his team to return to the form that saw it win its previous four games in a row prior to last weekend, average 54.5 points per game and allow an average of just 20. “It’s time to move on to the meat of our schedule,” Brohm said. “We’re back into conference play with a lot of important games ahead of us. There’s a lot to play for. It starts with a road game at Old Dominion, who does a good job of filling the stands. They will be into it.”

WKU currently holds a seven-game winning streak (fourth-longest active streak in the country) over C-USA opponents. The game will mark the last of a three-game road trip, which included a win against North Texas and a 48-20 loss to LSU. WKU has had halftime leads

The Hilltoppers have never played at Old Dominion, and have only played them once before in a win at home last season. “I think when you play an opponent like we did [at LSU], then you get back into conference play — yes, I am concerned,” Brohm said.

But Brohm is confident in what he has seen out of his team since LSU.

WKU has already reached bowl eligibility for the fifth

“We’ve talked about it a lot already. I think our guys understand that there is a lot to play for this season,” Brohm said. “Their goal is to be a champion. If you do that, you’re going to have to win and advance every week. Every game is important.” The game will kick off at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday at S. B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Virginia, where Old Dominion has sold out 45 consecutive games. The game will be televised nationally on Fox Sports Network.
