has tried to incorporate the importance of community and an atmosphere for entertainment into Cla-Zel. Mufleh said Cla-Zel offers an entertainment experience with its phenomenal sound system, light show, live DJs and top-notch service Thursday through Saturday nights. This gave 92.5 KISS FM the incentive to DJ there every Friday night and broadcast it live on their radio station from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., he said. Cla-Zel was made into a multientertainment venue when Mufleh bought it in 2008. After renovating it for six months, Cla-Zel opened that
Junior Christine Szymanowski said she has spent almost every Friday night this summer at Cla-Zel with 92.5 KISS FM DJs, Cla-Zel’s welcoming staff and a group of her friends. “I’ve never had so much fun at a club before,” she said. “I can go there sober and have just as much fun.” Cla-Zel is large enough to give people the choice to be on the dance floor, at the bar, or just socialize at a table or couches, she said. The owner of Cla-Zel, Ammar Mufleh, would be happy to hear Szymanowski’s praise as he said he
CAMPUS BRIEF
USG aims to improve online presence Emily Ancinec President of Undergraduate Student Government Students may soon be able to find out who represents them with just one click instead of several. The Undergraduate Student Government met Monday to discuss improving their availability via the Internet with Dave Kielmeyer, interim chief communications officer. USG proposed the University allow it to post a direct link on the University website so that students have more direct access to the USG website, said Emily Ancinec, USG president. USG also plans to somewhat “revamp” its website throughout the fall semester.
See CLA-ZEL | Page 2
“There’s a lot that USG does but you wouldn’t necessarily know that by looking at our website,” Ancinec said. “We’re definitely a little behind technologically, but we’re hoping to improve that soon.” USG is also considering running a link on the rotating banner in the bottom right corner of the University’s home page. The University typically runs a USG elections banner in the same location every spring, Kielmeyer said. For the remainder of summer, USG also plans to retool its Facebook and Twitter pages in order to better communicate with students. Jameson Taylor, USG Chief of Staff, will be in charge of communicating with students via social networking sites this fall. In the past two years, USG has not regularly updated its website or Facebook and Twitter pages, Ancinec said. In order to attract more students, USG plans to link its Facebook page to the University’s official Facebook page, too.

Downtown Farmers’ Market offers fresh food to city By Bobby Waddle In Focus Editor
The downtown area of the city is home to independently run businesses near the intersection of Wooster and Main streets, and the list gets even bigger every Wednesday. The growth can be attributed to the Downtown Farmers’ Market that is held once a week from 4 to 8 p.m. in the parking lot next to SamB’s restaurant. The market has been running
since May 18 and will go until Oct. 12, according to the Downtown Bowling Green website. “The farmers that go there get great exposure to the community that way,” said Nick Hennessy, the University sustainability coordinator. “I think it’s a win-win, for sure, between the customer and the farmer.” Hennessy shops at the market
