Asst. coach resigns due to relationship with a student

Students find ways to save on gas money while traveling for spring break

By Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor

One week after women’s basketball assistant coach Ali Mann resigned for “personal reasons,” it has been revealed to be due to relations with a student in the program.

Mann resigned on Feb. 21, citing unspecific personal reasons in a one-paragraph resignation letter.

On Thursday, the details of were released.

An internal inquiry began three days before her resignation, said Jason Knavel, assistant athletic Ali director.

Mann “Players on the team came to coach Former [Jennifer] Roos with info that someWomen’s thing wasn’t right,” Knavel said.

Basketball Roos then approached Athletic Assistant Director Greg Christopher. A meetCoach ing was called Wednesday, Feb. 20 to discuss the accusations with Mann.

At the end of the meeting, a decision as to Mann’s future with the team hadn’t been made.

Roos felt it best that Mann not be with the team for the Falcons’ home game against Akron, Knavel said.

Mann was sent out recruiting the night of the Akron game and resigned the following day under her own will. She then admitted to her relationship with a student involved in the program.

Mann’s conduct violated BGSU’s Consensual Amorous Relationships Policy, which states that faculty or supervisors are not to have coaching relationships with students or employees with whom they have had consensual amorous relations.

BG’s student privacy policy prevents the name of the associated student from being released, Knavel said.

Since the student was involved with the program, they could be a player, trainer or practice squad member, Knavel said. The women’s basketball team uses an all-male practice squad.

hen Brookelyn Winters travels out of state for spring break, she likes to bring a buddy along with her to help save cash.

Rising gas prices and travel expenses have helped popularize GasBuddy, a smartphone application which displays up-to-date gas prices throughout the country. Users update gas stations’ prices electronically, searching through the list of stations based on their selected city or location.

Winters used GasBuddy while travelling to Kentucky last year to visit family.

“I was trying to find the lowest gas prices since I’m not from around the area,” Winters said.

Faculty Association plans to host workshop in March

Bob Dylan scheduled to perform at Stroh Center

University faculty members are still pushing for the BGSU administration to rescind its decision to cut 100 faculty members.

As part of the push, the Faculty Association is planning a “grievance workshop” for March 13. The association is hosting the workshop to educate terminated faculty members on the grievance process as the 100 cuts become finalized, said David Jackson, Faculty Association president.

“We’re doing this to make sure that the people getting fired aren’t getting trampled on,” Jackson said. “We want to make sure everyone is aware of their rights.”

The workshop is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the BGSU-FA office on North Main Street, according to a Faculty Association press release.

The workshop will mark the third event the association has hosted or participated in since the cuts were announced Jan. 18.

Musician Bob Dylan will be performing for the American Red Cross Northwest Ohio Region event at the Stroh Center on Sunday, April 21 at 8 p.m.

Student tickets will be on sale Friday, March 8 at 10 a.m. Tickets are $25 with a student ID at the Stroh box office, according to the American Red Cross press release.

Tickets may also be purchased online through ticketmaster.com.

Los Angeles-based folk-rock band, Dawes will open the show at 6:30 p.m. before Dylan takes the stage.

The American Red Cross Northwest Ohio Region is sponsoring the event and all proceeds from Dylan’s show will go to the services of the American Red Cross.

These services include disaster preparation, disaster relief, recovery assistance, support for military members and their families and health and safety training, according to the release.

University hosts classes at Levis Commons location

By Amber Petkosek Reporter

Lev is Commons of fers more than shopping and dining; it a lso of fers education.

The University’s Levis Commons branch in Perrysburg offers both classrooms and a library for students.

The main building is a depository shared by the University of Toledo and Bowling Green. The library features above 800,000 books from the University and 300,000 from the University of Toledo, said Sara Bushong, the Dean of Libraries at the University.

“Proportionately we have about 75 percent and University of Toledo has about 25 percent,” she said.

The depository is one of five in the state of Ohio.

“It was originally designed to hold books not needed on campus very much,” she said.

Bushong said the depository is not a normal library.

“It’s not a browsable thing, you can’t go in and pull things. It’s best to know what you want before you go out there,” she said.

Anyone can special order the books to be delivered to them from the depository.

Using the app to find the cheapest gas price in the area saved her 10 cents a gallon.

For students like Winters, every penny counts, especially in Ohio, which ranks 36th in the nation among state gas price averages, according to GasBuddy’s website.

The app is used widely enough that as of 6 p.m. on Thursday, 12 of the 15 gas stations in the Bowling Green area had been updated within the past hour.

What harbors a user base that goes out of its way to number crunch gas stations is, predictably, money. The app features a $250 gas card weekly lottery for entrants

“If someone from University of Cincinnati wanted something from our department they could request it and have it delivered to them.”

Sara Bushong | Dean of Libraries University of Cincinnati wanted something from our department, they could request it and have it delivered to them,” Bushong said.

Community members can also use the depository’s resources.

“Anybody could use it, but primarily if you wanted to check the books out you need some sort of library card in the Ohio Link System,” she said.

Ann Light, the associate director of University Outreach, said Levis Commons offered a professional development series last year.

“We base what we do on customer demand,” she said. “We might bring it back if we had the need.”

Ot her workshops and meetings have also been hosted at the Levis Commons location.

There has been a summer academy for educators, Owens Corning and Owens Illinois have run business

who’ve racked up points from recording prices.

Living in a city with an average gas price hovering above $3.80, being able to save money is important when it seems like prices keep being raised, Winters said.

Peter VanderHart, a professor of economy, said that while gas prices fluctuate on a local level, they can be influenced by a much greater force.

“Gas prices are highly correlated with the price of crude oil,” VanderHart said in an email. “Crude oil prices are really determined in the world market ... so it is also sensitive to exchange rates.”

Gas prices vary among different regions of the country, the cheapest states located primarily in the West. Popular

meetings during the week, and Health and Human Services has also run programs, Light said.

In 2009, the continuing education portion of Levis Commons opened renovated classrooms to be used.

“The college of business moved two degree programs there,” said David Chatfield, director of the Center for Executive Study.

Professional Master’s of Business Administration and the Executive Master’s of Business Administration are the two degree programs currently being offered at Levis Commons.

There is also a third program called the Executive Master’s of Organization Development and classes are held on campus one weekend a month.

A large difference between the University’s Levis Commons location and main campus is the demographic of people enrolled.

The programs offered at Levis Commons are competitive, bringing people from all around the United States.

“These programs all require several years of career experience, a significant academic background and significant career responsibilities” Chatfield said. “People attracted to the Organization Development Degree; currently enrolled is a lady from Seattle, Wash., a lady from Minneapolis, Minn., a lady from St. Louis, Miss., a man from Manhattan, N.Y. and last weekend they were there in class at Levis Commons in Perrysburg.”

Chatfield said Levis Commons is a good place for the classes, and despite it being a shopping plaza, it does not affect the students negatively.

“It’s nice to be at a destination in terms of where we place a classroom” Chatfield said. “It’s nice to be at a location where before our students even know about our program they know about us.”

“Iron Man” prize.

For those travelling around the country during spring break, reporting a gas price in multiple cities wins them the “Adventurer” award.

The GasBuddy website also lets users calculate a trip cost, entering in vehicle information and giving the destination and starting city.

Tracking the gas mileage of a given car, the website will calculate which specific gas station to fill up at along the way.

Winters encourages other students like her to download the app in preparation for their upcoming trips.

“Definitely around spring break when people are going back home or out of state,” she said. “They can save quite a bit.”

THE PULSE Students explore ‘subreddit’ University community forum allows online interaction

By Emily Gordon Pulse Reporter

Some people complain that the Internet distances people, but freshman Brett Rosebrock believes it’s the perfect way to bring them together.

Rosebrock, a computer science major, is a moderator on /r/BGSU, a subreddit of the popular social media website, Reddit.com.

Reddit.com is a website where users can submit content in the form of links or text, where other users can vote on the content.

Students at the University can visit the website at www.reddit. com/r/BGSU. The University’s subreddit offers videos, pictures, and discussion boards about different topics to users.

The purpose of /r/BGSU is to allow users to share content relating to the University and the city of Bowling Green.

Senior Chris Berg, science education major, said he has been a Reddit user for years, but doesn’t visit /r/BGSU very often because posts aren’t very recent.

“I would be more active in the subreddit if more people signed up and posted on a more daily basis,” he said. “I definitely think the more people that subscribe, the better it’ll get.”

Rosebrock said he had been surfing the website when he noticed there was a subreddit specifically created for users to talk about the University, but that it wasn’t very active.

“The most recent post was almost six months ago and the creator had not been on in six months,” he said. “I thought it would be an exciting idea to take over the subreddit and try to make it more popular and increase the number of posts regarding BGSU and [the community of BG].”

Rosebrock said he and a friend petitioned the website to take over /r/BGSU, becoming the new

Consignment, thrift and secondhand stores are growing in popularity, especially among college students.

All three types of stores are resale outlets. Consignment stores tend to uphold pricing and product quality highly, as well as paying money for the items.

While UGG boots have been a popular winter boot for students for several years, a unique recent trend has emerged.

The popular boots now come in various colors, such as pink, blue and purple. They also come in different prints such as zebra and leopard, metallic material and sequins.

Even though the outside may be different, the boots still have the same warm sheepskin inside.

Senior Melissa Crago, apparel merchandising and product development major, said the boots have become more of a fashion accessory than a winter necessity.

“They started out as more of a functional item, but now that they have become so popular, UGG saw an opportunity to make them more exciting,” Cargo said. “People use them more as an accessory than as a functional item now.”

Celebrities who wear print or embellished clothing might be inspiration for the new boot, said Amanda Muhammad, assistant professor in the AMPD

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “I’ll be here playing basketball games.”

MEGAN LARKIN Junior, Psychology

Countries can conserve environment without government help CHANCE STOODT COLUMNIST When it comes to conserving the environment, popular opinion tends to lean towards legislation and policy as the consummate, do-all solution. There is a contingent among environmentalists that strays from this commonly held belief.

This strand calls themselves “free-market environmentalists,” and they have a very compelling argument for why a system of property rights may be the ticket to conservation.

Property rights are generally defined laws that delineate how an individual may control, benefit from and transfer property. Free market environmentalists apply these rules to environmental problems, and given the results of research and “experiments in conservation,” they have successfully presented their case.

One of these case studies lies in the fisheries of Namibia, a relatively young country on the southwestern coast of Africa. Following more than 20 years of guerrilla warfare between the South West Africa People’s Organization and the South African government troops, independence finally came to Namibia in 1990, just two decades ago.

The Namibian people were freed from discrimination and disenfranchisement of colonial rule, but were also left with a weak economy.

The government has since implemented free-market principles and a system of rights-based management of the country’s vast natural resources to strengthen the local economy.

These policies have not only resulted in helping to flourish people, but have also helped develop and preserve the nation’s rich natural resources, which were previously on the verge of depletion.

During South African occupation, the fisheries of Namibia contained no rule of law. The open access inevitably led to an international free-for-all, where constant jockeying resulted in overfishing and a depletion of

“New Era, a Namibian newspaper, also reported that these fisheries now employ over 14,000 locals with steady growth.” resources.

Many biologists and social scientists have dubbed this problem the “tragedy of the commons,” which arises when rationally acting individuals deplete a shared resource even when doing so is not in their best interest.

This problem occurs because each user receives direct benefit of using the resource, but only bears a small fraction of the cost of its exploitation.

The Namibian people have found success in the establishment of excludability.

The Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism reported that the asset value of fish stocks increased by 40 percent in the 1990s. A case study conducted by Peter Manning found that during this same period of time, the fisheries’ contribution to the nation’s GDP increased by six percent.

New Era, a Namibian newspaper, also reported that these fisheries now employ over 14,000 locals with steady growth. It is small, steady growth but remains growth nonetheless— an optimistic sign for a newly independent, recovering nation.

By employing a system of community-based management, Namibia has avoided the fate of most others on the continent and registered a sharp increase in its key wildlife populations.

Although there is no onesize-fits-all solution for environmental problems such as overfishing or exploitation, Namibia illustrates how a nation can successfully conserve the environment while improving the local economy and community— all without heavy government regulation or subsidies.

Learn about gun control, stop preaching ETHAN EASTERWOOD SPORTS EDITOR

I like guns. I like guns a lot.

As a matter of fact, I own several, including the dreaded assault rifle.

But do you know what I don’t like? I don’t like crazy people standing on their soapboxes preaching their extreme pro gun stuff.

Look, firearms are neat.

The whole way they work is an amazing feat of engineering.

If you haven’t looked at the “guts” of a rifle, then please go Google it. It’s worth a Google.

But are we really helping ourselves by posting on social media stating that more guns in schools would actually help? That you would rather die than give up your guns? That you think every American should own a gun?

“If you haven’t looked at the ‘guts’ of a rifle, then please go Google it. It’s worth a Google.”

Stop. Just please stop.

You’re making me upset, like really upset.

But allow me to introduce myself so you know whom you are upsetting.

I don’t just have the ability to write neat things like this, but I am also a member and an employee of the National Rifle Association.

That’s right, I have been working for the largest pro-Second Amendment organization on the planet for five years. Take notice that not even the NRA wants to hear your b a t- e x c r a m e nt- c r a z y remarks.

Look, I am all for people using guns and learning to handle them. But I am not just giving away pistols to any boy old enough to spit. The recent shootings have occurred

because guns were in the hands of the wrong people, and guess what, there are more of those people out there.

Do you want to know where my guns and ammunition are? They are 45 miles away from Bowling Green, in a locked safe that only I know the combination to.

That’s because I don’t have the desire to ask President Mary Ellen Mazey for permission to carry a .32 to class with me in case all hell breaks loose.

If you really want to help, then demonstrate the responsibility that every gun owner should have. Blowing up all your liberal friends’ news feeds will not persuade anyone that you are mature enough to handle all the

responsibility to shoot, carry or even own a firearm.

If you really want to preserve our Second Amendment like I do, then educate those around you about safety and show responsibility by example.

I personally don’t let anyone touch my rif les without making sure they know everything from safety to how to clean it afterwards. This is the proper way to show that guns are not just “violent instruments,” but also an amazing hobby and a way to protect yourself.

Let’s all take a step back and look for a message of understanding. Pro-gun, anti-gun and everything else, we can all agree there is nothing more annoying than “that guy” on Facebook ranting and raving.

Don’t be “that guy.”

People are becoming more similar than different

By Davood Dadfar Columnist

Think you’re different and unique? Think you’ve set yourself apart from the rest of us? Think again.

Today we live in a world that breeds a new age of human being. A human being that is bred for creativity in a world limited inside a bubble.

So how creative and unique are we really becoming in today’s society to brand ourselves?

The very steps we take to brand ourselves seem to objectify us into broad categories. For example, you may be purchasing an Apple computer to separate yourself from your peers and show that you can afford a luxury item that is different.

In reality, all you do is set yourself inside a demographic of high priced luxury shoppers who now have a brand loyalty towards a particular company. At the end of the day you simply become that person with the Apple computer and less of the guy with a sense of humor.

Before you know it, marketers will target you through thousands of different mediums to get you to purchase other Apple prod-

ucts that compliment your purchase. Suddenly, ads show up on the side of your Facebook account with links to sites that sell MacBook peripherals. After all, you’re no longer a person. To them, you’re just another MacBook consumer.

All of this leads to my favorite mass media device of all time, the television.

Today the TV has become the most effective mass marketing device of all time.

I don’t watch TV often, but when I do, I tend to discover how every advertisement is tailored to me.

Why, you may ask? Since the creation of digital cable, I’ve come to find that there are thousands of channels to choose from. Among the thousands that we pay for, we usually pick between 10 to 20.

These 10 to 20 channels that we watch are the specific ideas that we’ve tailored our brains to.

Marketers know this and they end up selling us the items we purchase through selective media. Whether you’ve purchased it on HSN or not doesn’t matter; 50 percent of the item has practically sold itself to you by the time you see the commercial.

Ironically, I already know

this year’s new Rolex lineup because I’ve watched the commercials on the tennis channel, not because I spend hours looking at watches in my free time.

Having thousands of channels may seem like it gives you freedom (as an American to choose any channel you want), but all it does is close you in a box of other subcategories in which millions of others will fall into.

Suddenly you find that the things that made you unique have objectified you to fit in a group of people, known as a target market.

Again, you become less of a person who plays tennis, and more of a person who watches reruns of “Friends” on TBS. Fast forward now to your job interview. Your employer asks you to define diversity or, better yet, what you bring to the workplace. You may have an answer prepared but ask yourself, “Am I really unique or have I pursued a lifestyle to make myself appear unique?”

One of the reasons I love the movie “Fight Club” (and yes I say movie and not book because I haven’t gone the extra step to read it) is because it ties the idea of consumerism being the

requirement for a fulfilling lifestyle. Most importantly it sends the message that people don’t need products to define their lifestyle.

As a result, Edward Norton and Brad Pitt created an underground fight club that created diversity and uniqueness in the opposite way your TV channels do. They got together everyone that was average and gave them definition and purpose. Suddenly after ditching the IKEA lifestyle, Edward Norton knew he was a part of something more than just branding.

So should we really go the lengths to brand ourselves even if it means objectifying ourselves? The choice is yours to make. I’ve never seen a clear decision to make on either side of the fence. Branding yourself with products may actually personify your brand and give it meaning.

At the same time it could show your lack of character.

Whether you like it or not, you’re already in a Scion, Toyota or Lexus category.

Now take the leap and learn how to become the Lexus.

BUFFALO BULLYING

Falcons outlast Bulls 56-43, Steffen records double-double

By Max Householder Reporter

The BG women’s basketball team defefated the Buffalo Bulls on Wednesday night with a 56-43 victory, redeeming itself from a poor shooting performance against Miami this past weekend.

While BG and Buffalo came close in many statistical categories such as field goals made, turnovers and steals, it seemed to be the Falcons’ game to lose.

Both teams shot at or above the 30 percent mark for the game, but the Falcons defense was able to hold Buffalo down.

The only lead the Bulls had the entire game was a 3-0 margin at the 17:48 mark of the first half. That lead would quickly disappear as BG would go on a 9-0 run over the next four minutes.

The Falcons built their lead to as much as 12 points in the first half. However, BG gave Buffalo a chance for the second half

as the halftime margin was just 27-19.

The second half got off to a slow start, especially for the Bulls, who scored just one field goal in the first four minutes of the half.

Each team had a total of 16 turnovers and nine steals.

A big key was the Falcons’ ability to get to the foul line. Buffalo committed 17 fouls to the Falcons’ nine, as BG capitalized by making 17 of their 22 free throw attempts. The Bulls even had one technical foul, which was committed late in the game by guard Mackenzie Loesing.

That foul put the scoring margin at double digits, 54-43, with roughly two minutes to play. After that, guard Jillian Halfhill put the finishing touches on the win as she hit a layup to put the final tally at 56-43.

BG’s star athlete this past season, defensive tackle Chris Jones, competed at the NFL Combine this past Monday.

The NFL Combine is a way college football players that have declared for the NFL draft can strut their stuff in front of scouts from all 32 teams.

Jones finished the college season secChris ond in the nation Jones in sacks among Defensive all defensive tackTackle, MAC les. Jones had 12.5 Defensive whereas Arizona Player of the State defensive tackYear, AP All- le Will Sutton had 13.

Jones tied for ninth American overall including all positions.

Jones was not scouted heavily in high school because of his size. Jones is listed as 6’2” and 302 pounds. NFL scouts have had the same concerns.

The analysis of Jones for the combine said, “Jones might not be the biggest or strongest interior defensive lineman in the 2013 draft class, but he won’t be outworked by any of them– and he’s one of the most productive defensive linemen in the country.”

Jones’ Monday involved competing in four drills to earn an overall grade. The drills were the 40 yard dash, bench press, the three cone drill and the 20 yard shuttle run.

These drills are designed to differentiate all the potential draftees.

Jones tied for fifth in the bench press with 30 reps but failed to finish in the top 15 in any other drills. Jones earned an overall 55.3 grade out of a perfect 100.

The best grade given to any player was given to Alabama offensive guard Chance Warmack with a 95.9 rating. The best defensive lineman was LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo with a 92.8 and the best defensive tackle was Star Lotulelei from Utah with a 92.0 rating.

Jones was the 17th best defensive tackle when sorted by grade.

The Mid-American Conference

See COMBINE | Page 7

The Falcons kept their Mid-American Conference Tournament fate in their own hands with a 52-54 win against the Miami University RedHawks at home Wednesday night.

BG guard Jordon Crawford led the Falcons with 19 points and Miami guard Allen Roberts led the RedHawks with 16 points.

Crawford and Roberts were the only two players to score over 10 points in the game. “[Crawford]’s played well against Miami offensively just about every time we play them,” coach Louis Orr said. “The way our offense was tonight we needed all his points.”

Crawford’s 19 points marked the 23rd time that he has scored more than 10 points in a game.

“I came into the game just wanting to win,” Crawford said.

“If I’ve got to make shots, then that’s what I have to do.”

On BG’s first possession, Crawford was fouled by Miami guard Allen Roberts, but was only able to capitalize on one

free throw.

After a Miami layup and a missed free throw from Roberts, Crawford hit a three-pointer that put BG ahead 4-2. At the 15:26 mark, Crawford, by himself, outscored Miami 6-4, but the RedHawks would silence the Falcons for the next three and a half minutes.

The RedHawks went on a fivepoint run following Crawford’s two-point shot, which allowed Miami to eliminate its deficit and take the lead nearly half way through the first half.

On the next possession, BG did not make any of the three shots it took and Miami went on a sixpoint run to put them ahead by five.

With less than 10 minutes left in the half, BG forward Craig Sealey was fouled on a made basket, converting his three-point play to cut the RedHawks’ lead to two.

BG guard Jehvon Clarke hit a three-pointer to take a 16-15 lead with 8:16 remaining in the half. This ended a two and a half minute scoring drought for both teams.

Jordon Crawford | Guard

Within the next minute, Miami center Vince Legarza was fouled and made both of his free throws that gave Miami a 17-16 lead at the 7:46 mark. Then, Miami forward Will Felder made a layup to push Miami’s lead to 19-16 with just under seven minutes left in the half.

Miami started a 10-point run with just under eight minutes remaining but the run was disrupted at 4:11 by a twopoint jumper from BG forward A’uston Calhoun, which marked BG’s first points in nearly four minutes.

Roberts answered Calhoun’s basket with a two-point play of his own with 4:03 left in the half.

BG would finish the rest of the half with six more points as Miami guard Quinten Rollins recorded his team’s final four points, including a two-point

jumper at the buzzer.

The score at the half had Miami leading 31-24 but the second half would present a different side of the Falcons that Miami did not see in the first half.

Both teams started the second half with absent offenses, as Crawford’s three-point basket marked either team’s first of the half after over two minutes of play.

BG held Miami scoreless for the first five and a half minutes of the second half.

Legarza scored the RedHawks’ first points in the second half after allowing BG to tie the game up at 31 a minute and a half before.

Hockey travels to Notre Dame

Falcons finish season on road, game has playoff implications

By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter

MIKE REED | THE BG NEWS

JOSE DELGADILLO prepares to unleash a wrist shot against the Northern Michigan Wildcats at home.

The BG hockey team takes on Notre Dame this weekend in the final weekend of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular season.

Both games are in South Bend, Ind. Friday’s game starts at 7:35 p.m. while Saturday’s is at 7:05 p.m.

The results of the weekend will determine which team BG plays in the first round and where of the CCHA playoffs. The Falcons control their own destiny. With a win in either game against the Irish, the Falcons will clinch a top-eight seed, thus ensuring they host a first-round playoff series next weekend.

BG sits at seventh in the CCHA standings. They are two points ahead of eighth place Lake Superior, three points ahead of ninth place Michigan and five points ahead of 10th place Northern Michigan.

Lake Superior and Northern Michigan play each other this weekend, while Michigan faces Ferris State.

Michigan and Northern

Michigan would each need to sweep their respective series’ this weekend, and need BG to lose both games, to pass the Falcons in the standings. To jump the Falcons in the standings, Lake Superior would need one more win than BG this weekend.

Despite the Falcons seemingly being the in driver’s seat, coach Chris Bergeron said the team is not focusing on the standings.

“I think [discussing the standings] is the reason we weren’t very good Friday [against Northern Michigan],” Bergeron said. “We got too caught up in that and forgot that Friday was another opportunity to play.

We did most things not good enough, and I’m going to say we choked. We got too caught up in the implications.”

While the Falcons are in a favorable position in terms of the standings and what needs to happen to get a first round series at home, they aren’t in a favorable position in terms of the opponent they face this weekend.

The accounts follow more than 4,300 Twitter handlers. One of them is freshman Brooke Morgano, who has had friends retweeted from @BGSUMakeouts and @ BGSUPassouts.

REDDIT From Page 3 moderators.

The subreddit currently has 260 subscribers, with new posts submitted every few days.

Posts have ranged in topic such as University— related jokes to alumni keeping track of campus events and sports, Rosebrock said.

Senior Patrick Pugh, who has had a Reddit account for a few weeks, thinks /r/ BGSU has the potential to be a great tool for not only current students, but also for incoming students to get a feel of the University.

“I’ve talked to incoming students [in the subreddit] to tell them what’s in town and the ins and outs of dorm life,” Pugh said.

“If there are questions you didn’t want to ask the tour guide, this is the place you can ask it.”

Pugh said the site’s open and informal atmosphere is what sets Reddit apart from other social media websites.

“People are actually conversing with each other instead of just saying, ‘Hey, look at my pictures!’” Pugh said.

Dr. Montana Miller, popular culture professor, who has taught a class on the subject, said online communities become successful when friends of the users introduce their friends to the website.

“People like to hang out where their friends are. If they’re all on online communities, that’s where they’ll go,” she said.

Miller also noted that online communities make connecting easier for some students.

“It’s the ability to socialize without getting their

While she follows both accounts, she likes @BGSUPassouts more.

“People probably don’t like seeing other people making out, but people think it’s funnier to see how people pass out and where,” Miller said.

As far as passing the accounts on once they have graduated, one of the moderators said the two roommates would think about it more when the time comes. @BGSUPassouts seems to be more of a priority to them because it has drawn in more people in a shorter amount of time, the moderator said.

“It’s primarily myself that controls the account now, but initially it was both of our ideas to get

The moderator said the roommates believe @BGSUMa keouts has

the capacity to gain as much popularity as @BGSUPassouts and are still thinking about what to do after graduation with the accounts.

Although the popular boots can cost $135 to $225, they are durable and worth the cost, Rasicci said.

“Other boots that are much cheaper never seemed to last for me,” Rasicci said. “They still feel just as good as they did when I first bought them.

Patrick Pugh | Senior asses off their chairs,” she said. “[Online communities] take all the work out of socializing.”

Rosebrock said current students and alumni have been using the subreddit to share their opinions on recent campus news with each other anonymously.

Several posts were about faculty cuts and the Student Legacy Program, he said.

Rosebrock assures users that the subreddit is a safe place to talk about the University.

“As the mod, I can promise users that I won’t remove a post because of an opinion you have about BGSU,” he said.

Dr. Miller agreed that it’s good to have an outlet where students can post about the University without fear of those in power, but worries that the anonymity can give users confidence to be inappropriate.

“I’m not a big fan of anonymous commenting,” she said. “It turns into a free for all of really vicious comments.”

However, Pugh insists the anonymity is what encourages users to post honestly.

“There are no stupid questions and people won’t hold back,” he said. “I think if I knew it existed when I was a freshman, I would have looked forward to things like that.”

MOSAIC CONSIGNMENT Studio offers clothes, scarves, hats, shoes and jewelry at affordable prices for students shopping on a budget.

THRIFT From Page 3 Second-hand stores bargain with sellers and usually clean the items while thrift stores run solely on donations.

Freshman Taylor Lawwell said she shops at all three types of used item outlets at least once a week.

“Consignment stores, Goodwill, Ohio Thrift, Salvation Army; I go to all of them,” Lawwell said.

“What’s the point in going and paying full price for something, when most likely, it’s going to be at a thrift shop in good condition?”

Much like the song says, thrift store finds are one of a kind. A consignment store downtown, Mosaic Consignment Studio, lets shoppers bring their vintage and high quality clothes to be sold at the store and receive 50 percent of the profit. Colleen Miller, owner of Mosaic, said the clothes brought in are typically bought within the

same day.

“We have consignors coast to coast and even students from different states at the University who bring in unique stuff from all over the place,” Miller said.

In the retail world, while the song may or may not have an effect on bringing up sales during the slow months, Miller said she could see how the song is an eye opening idea as a retail alternative.

“One of our employees pinned it on our Facebook page,” Miller said. “We thought it was pretty funny.”

Abigail Cary, owner of Abigail’s Attic, a secondhand store, said it’s still a little too soon to see any type of outcome from a song this quickly.

“I do think it’s great that there is an artist out there who is helping to promote second-hand resale,” Cary said. “I think it’s great, I love that song.”

Sophomore Casey Carson said she would pick shopping at a thrift or consign-

ment store over going to a retail store every time.

“My favorite thrift store find was a pair of pink flats with flowers on them that were just so perfect,” Carson said. “It was meant to be.”

While some stores might have seen a shift in revenue due to the popularity of “Thrift Shop,” some regular thrifters see an end to the trend soon.

“I can see the song as a trending thing, but it may die down after a while,” Lawwell said. “For now, it’ll be a big trending thing.”

Carson agreed and said she doesn’t see a big increase in more thrifters due to the song’s debut, but has noticed an increase of customers because of the prices.

“I’ve noticed a lot of people on a college campus do it because it’s just cheaper,” Carson said.

What these stores provide for college students is a cheaper way to look original, Lawwell said. Miller agreed, and said Mosaic tends to attract the young

adult crowd.

“As a college student, we don’t always have a lot of money to go out and shop, so it’s nice to find things that are cheaper,” Lawwell said. “At places like Forever 21, there are four or five of everything. I don’t think I’ve ever seem anyone with the same clothes as me if I got them at a thrift store.”

While January and February tend to be slow in retail, Cary and Miller are already planning for the spring season.

Abigail’s Attic is planning on hosting yard sales in front of the store and Mosaic will have models showcasing spring items during the Art Walk downtown April 27.

With or without the song’s influence, thrift, consignment and secondhand shopping on campus doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

“The styles are just so unique,” Carson said. “I like that no one else has it and sometimes you find really cool things.”

Rugby starts spring season Sunday

Nicholas Vanderpool Reporter

The Falcon rugby team will be on the road Sunday to take on an unfamiliar Maryland squad.

BG and Maryland have only played each other twice in the programs’ history. The Falcons won both of the games in 2009 with scores of 62-5 and 45-0.

The Terrapins have upgraded since that year. Maryland went 6-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and eventually lost to Tennessee in the playoffs.

Maryland is currently 2-0 with a 26-19 victory over James Madison and a 34-21 win over North Carolina. They will be playing Virginia Tech the day before the BG match.

The Falcons will have to contain Maryland’s Trevor Tanifum. He is a native of Southampton, England and plays wing for the Terrapins.

Tanifum was the leading scorer in the College Rugby Championship in Philadelphia this past summer. He scored 10 times in the tournament, which is one shy of the record of 11 held by BG’s

Rocco Mauer.

With the knowledge of the game acquired from growing up in England coupled with his sprinter speed, Tanifum is going to create some problems every time he catches the ball.

“This trip is going to be an important warm-up for the Nationals in late April,” said coach Roger Mazzarella. “We need to play as many games as we can to get back into the same rhythm we closed the fall season with.”

BG will look for newcomer Lucas Smith to fill the absence of Dominic

“I can’t fill [Mauer’s] shoes, but I will obviously give 100 percent,” Smith said. “I fit in well with this team, and the guys are more welcoming here.”

Smith played with current fullback Matt Marquette in high school, so it will be good news for the Falcons to have that previous chemistry on the field this season.

The game will kick off this Sunday at 2 p.m. in College Park, Md.

Miami surged to bring the game to come one point after Felder made a huge dunk with 3:14 left, but the Falcons would hold the RedHawks to zero points for the rest of the contest.

“You just have to be able to grind,” Orr said. “You got to grind for 40 minutes and this was a grind win.”

With the win, BG boosts its record to 12-16 (6-7) and

However, the team’s leading scorer this season, Cherridy Thornton, was just 2-of-7 for a total of five points.

BG will return to action this Sunday against Ohio University. The game will be the final home game for the BG seniors. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. at the Stroh Center.

Miami’s record falls to 8-18 (3-10).

BG now sits at fourth in the MAC East behind Akron, Ohio and Kent State.

The Falcons’ next match will be against the Ohio University Bobcats this Saturday at the Stroh Center. Broadcast live on SportsTime Ohio, the game is scheduled to tip-off at noon.

The Irish boast one of the best all-around games in the conference. They are second in the CCHA in goals per game and third in goals allowed per game.

Twelve Notre Dame players have posted double-digit points so far this season. Anders Lee leads the team with 31 points,

Among his weaknesses were his size, which could allow him to be put to the ground against NFL veterans.
