Car break-ins in city rise, police advise community to take precautions to prevent thefts By Alex Alusheff News Editor
A recent spike in crime prompted the Bowling Green Police Division to release two press releases regarding car-related break-ins, urging the community to be on the lookout. Since between May 15 and early July, there were 59 reported car breakins in the city, said Lt. Ken Fortney. Fourteen of those break-ins were reported June 30. “We call these crimes of opportunity,” Fortney said. “When people get the urge to steal and they see something, they grab it and run.” While the number of break-ins is higher than compared to the same time last year, Fortney said the crimes were just a spike in a short period of time and it doesn’t mean crime rates have rose.
Covered Mandatory healthcare expands upon coverage, specifics debated
By Emily Gordon Reporter
The United States Supreme Court ruled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act constitutional June 28, changing the scope of student healthcare. According to the legislation, insurance companies will not be able to discriminate against customers with disabilities or pre-existing conditions, nor can they drop customers once they 6 way get sick. r e The legislation also mandates new health plans form a s healthcar e ffects to provide preventative care such as colonoscopy studen Stude procedures and mammogram screenings without ts nts p a r ent’s in can stay on charging customers a co-pay. th suranc e until eir Marlene Reynolds, assistant director of 2 6 Stud Business and Information Services for the ents c a ng care Student Health Service, said students will now witho et preve nt ut a c be able to stay on their parents’ insurance opay ative plans through the age of 26.

However, given the warmer climate, crime does tend to rise. “In general, crimes tend to coincide with the warmer months like July and August,” said Adam Watkins, assistant professor in the University Criminal Justice Program. Both Watkins and Fortney offered the same advice when it comes to preventing car break-ins: lock the door. Most reports of break-ins the police get are from unlocked vehicles, Fortney said. While locking doors won’t stop all thefts, it will deter some, he said. Another tip the two gave was to remove valuable items from the car all together. “If you don’t have valuables in the car, it gets rid of the incentive to steal,”

The Popular Culture building is set to be demolished before the fall semester begins, according to an email sent Sunday by University President Mary Ellen Mazey. The building, located on the corner of E. Wooster and South College Drive, houses the Department of Popular Culture, which will be relocated to Shatzel Hall, according to the email. “The location is one of the sites being considered for a new student health center,” Mazey said in the email. “It is currently the preferred choice for safety reasons. With two crosswalks and a stoplight at this intersection, our students can reach the center safely and conveniently.” Opposition to the demolition has come up

in the form of emails to the administration and a petition on signon.org, said Karen Craigo, a general studies writing instructor who started the petition. “I understand the nostalgic feelings some have for the building, since it once was the home of BGSU presidents. However, the building is in very poor condition and it is simply no longer cost effective to bring it up to minimally acceptable standards,” Mazey said. Craigo said she is unhappy about the decision to demolish the building and is appalled by Mazey’s email. “This is a serious matter and she dismissed it as nostalgia,” Craigo said. “You feel nostalgia for trapper keepers and ‘I Love Lucy’ reruns, not this. There are sensible reasons to maintain our treasures.” Craigo will be hosting an informal meeting outside the Starbucks in the Union Wednesday at 11 a.m. “It’s greatly important to preserve our historic buildings,” Craigo said.

Photo store owner takes hands-on approach Since the 1980s, Bowling Green residents have been able to capture memories with a little help from the photography store on Main Street. Formerly known as Blue Ribbon Photo and later Studio 157, the store is now called Main Street Photo and is owned by former Studio 157 manager Todd Brininger. Brininger said he decided to take a leap of faith after the owner of Studio 157 retired and open his own photography store and lab at the same location in 2009. Brininger followed his wife to Bowling Green in 2004, and started working at Studio 157 as she pursued her degree in biology at the University. “One of the hardest things for me was the decision of whether or not to open [my own business],” Brininger said. “But I thought, where are all of my customers going to
CRIME From Page 1 Watkins said. Since the spike in late June, the number of break-ins has lowered. On July 2, the police issued a press release regarding the arrest of two men connected in a string of carrelated thefts.

Through the investigation, police found the men to be connected to accessing 13

students who come in as new photographers seeking advice and camera accessories. “It’s another way to pass on knowledge. You can relive that excitement again of having your first camera or first roll of film,” Brininger said. One of the most interesting experiences he has had since opening Main Street Photo was with a Visual Communication Technology student who came in to buy a roll of film, Brininger said. “He bought it and instantly pulled out his iPhone, took a picture of the roll of film and posted it to Facebook.” Brininger said. “There’s a whole generation that doesn’t know what film is. It makes me chuckle. Well, it also makes me feel old.” Main Street Photo employee Pat Mahood, who met Brininger while studying

other vehicles, according to the press release. While reports of thefts have gone down, it isn’t certain the men were involved in all of the thefts, Fortney said. Even though the recent thefts have captured some media attention, the city nor the police see a change in routine to be necessary. The city and police work closely together every day, said Bowling Green Safety Director John Fawcett. “Personal interaction is constant on a daily basis,” Fawcett said. “[Chief Connor] keeps me up to date and as far as programmatic changes … we’ll talk and discuss an impact on the budget or man power utilization, other than
that, we leave it to the chief to make those decisions.” Fortney said police will continue to patrol high priority areas like apartment complexes and streets that allow overnight parking, but the help of citizens is crucial. “We rely heavily on citizens calling in to report suspicious activity,” he said. ‘We can’t be everywhere at once.” To report suspicious activity, Fortney said to call Crimestoppers, where people could receive a $1,000 reward. “Many times we get information from Crimstoppers will lead to an arrest,” he said. To report any type of suspicious activity, people can call Crimestoppers at 419-352-0077.
local talent.” Local acts like the Juggling Club, area cheerleaders and 4-H members will be performing and competing in events throughout the fair, she said. There are a lot of animal contests that involve 4-H, a junior leadership group that raises animals and prepares all year for the fair, which is a big draw, King said. If people still want to be involved, Vetter said they are always looking for volunteers to help out. Aside from the entertainment, Vetter said the fair environment is welcoming itself. “[The fair] is a good social atmosphere where people can catch up over summer,” Vetter said. “It allows people to see the other side of Bowling Green
and Wood County.” University senior Garrett Davis said as a nearby Wayne, Ohio, native, he’s been going to the Wood County fair for many years. Davis said he enjoys the food and the animal scene, recalling that one year, the fair had ostriches. “[The fair is] somewhere to go hang out and it’s not like it’s expensive,” Davis said. This will be the 139 year the fair has taken place and King said it draws around 90,000 people. Admission costs $6 a day or $24 for a week pass.

HEALTH From Page 1 vaccines and contraception coverage, Reynolds said. Reynolds said the insurance plan the University currently offers was developed with the Inter-University Council. “The plan was designed to be compliant with healthcare reform,” Reynolds said. Reynolds said students will see a phased-in increase in their maximum benefits, and that by 2014 plans will have an unlimited maximum. These figures note the maximum dollar amount the plan will pay toward healthcare for students. Angela Zimmann, General Studies Writing instructor and Congressional candidate for Ohio’s 5th district, said the Affordable Care Act is “a step in the right direction” for American healthcare. Zimmann said she is very pleased that students will have greater access to medical help due to the Affordable Care Act. “This legislation is for real people with real lives,” Zimmann said. “Hopefully students will realize that if they are suffering and in pain, they can now get healthcare,” Zimmann said. James Carter, president of the Board of County Commissioners in Wood County, said he is less supportive of the ruling. “Is healthcare a good idea for everyone? Of course it is. But the devil is in the details, and the details are confusing,” Carter said. “We just don’t know everything about it yet.” Carter said he wasn’t sure how the new healthcare plan will be funded. “We will certainly work with it, but I really don’t know where the money is going to come from,” he said.

“Is healthcare a good idea for everyone? Of course it is. But the devil is in the details, and the details are confusing. We just don’t know everything about it yet.” James Carter | President of Board of County Commissioners “Probably from students when they graduate.” Carter said it is frustrating to not be able to change the impact of the law, even though the law impacts citizens. “The best thing I can do as a commissioner is to attract businesses so students will have jobs post-graduation,” Carter said. Timothy Newman, Political Science instructor, agrees the law will have more employers offering healthcare, which should offer more jobs with healthcare for college graduates. “Is it the ideal healthcare plan? I think it’s not. There’s a lot of criticisms you can make,” Newman said, “But in order to say it’s a terrible law, you’d have to say it’s worse than the status quo, and that’s just not true.” Newman said many people opposed to the law think the government is abusing their power by forcing citizens to be insured, or they’ll face fines, but said it’s a big risk to go uninsured. “All it takes is one major surgery or accident to see how much it’s going to cost you [if you’re uninsured],” Newman said. “You’re going to get some sticker shock.” Newman said students who are currently struggling to pay for healthcare will benefit from the law. “For the lower middle class, the working poor students who work in the service industry or factories, that’s the group that will be helped the most by having access to healthcare,”
Newman said. Sophomore Brady Hood said he comes from a working class family and believes the Affordable Care Act will greatly help students like him monetarily. “I think the law is, overall, a positive thing,” he said, “My parents can’t afford to put me on their insurance, but with the law, I’ll be able to get affordable healthcare.” Hood said he has heard dissatisfaction about the Affordable Care Act’s insurance mandate, which forces citizens to buy insurance, but said it’s a non-issue for most students because if they are not already insured, they have to sign up for the University’s insurance policy anyway. Junior Chance Stoodt said he opposes the law because people can take advantage of the benefits. “When you guarantee healthcare for everyone people start going to the doctor for everything, like minor things that aren’t much of a problem,” Stoodt said. Stoodt said he would have been happier with a healthcare reform that doesn’t include government participation. “Beauraucracy is making things more complicated than they need to be,” Stoodt said. Reynolds encourages students who have questions about their new benefits to stop in at the Student Insurance Office located in the Health Center building on Ridge Street, or call the office at (419) 372-7495.

Toledo museum to showcase doodled napkin masterpieces By Emily Gordon Reporter
One person’s doodle is another person’s masterpiece. Or at least, that’s how the Toledo Museum of Art sees it. The museum is inviting visitors to participate in “Doodle! A Community Drawing Exhibition” by drawing on provided napkins. Selected doodles will be displayed in the exhibition opening July 27. Jennifer Bandeen, Community Gallery manager, said she was inspired to create the exhibition when she accidentally spilled some red ink from an art proj-
ect onto a nearby napkin from her lunch. As an illustrator, Bandeen said she thought the design the spilled ink made looked interesting and continued the artwork, doodling a Japanese print around the design. “Normally in exhibits, everything is framed and beautiful,” Bandeen said. “But I thought this exhibit would be more fresh, more spontaneous for the summer.” The doodle that started it all will be featured in the exhibit, she said.

2012 TEEN CHOICE AWARDS TV
Grade | Jonathan Keilholz Pulse Critic
Those who enjoyed the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, which aired Sunday on Fox, are those who enjoy impromptu shots of Taylor Swift dancing like a drunken white girl at Sky Bar and Kristen Stewart struggling through an acceptance speech like she’s struggling through birthing an exceptionally fat vampire baby. Basically, those who enjoyed the 2012 Teen Choice Awards are teenagers. Well, at least teenagers at heart. Speaking of teenagers at heart, Gwen Stefani and her resurrected band No Doubt were the first performers on Fox’s night of teenage madness. For the first time, No Doubt performed “Settle Down,” the group’s first single released in almost a decade. Stefani’s been in the industry since 1986, long before today’s teenagers were born. Amazingly, Stefani is still able to nab younger fans with “Settle Down’s” hook; a hook very familiar to that of “Hollaback Girl,” which captivated a slightly different generation of teens in 2005. When “Hollaback Girl” hit the charts in 2005, Justin Bieber was 10 years old, living the life of a regular kid in Ontario, Canada. Only a few years later, Bieber and Stefani performed on the same stage Sunday night. A puberty-enduring Bieber sang and rapped with Big Sean, who helped the heartthrob perform the second single off of his album “Believe,” and “As Long As You Love Me.” But after a little help from technology, it would’ve been more aptly titled “As Long As You Lip Sync.” Nonetheless, at least the “Never Say Never” star danced his Bieber off. His lip-syncing didn’t seem to

A movie theater as a place of fear seems as if it’s straight from a movie scene — only the movie itself should cause the fear. The excitement I had building up to seeing the premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” at midnight July 20 was something indescribable. I’m sure it is a feeling that was shared by many others as they headed into the theaters that night. To hear that that excitement had been broken by gunshots and death in Aurora, Colo. is horrific. Theaters have been my escape for years. I go to watch movies to forget my hardships, sadness and anger and be able to enter into this fantasy world that I can interpret however I want. James Holmes has ruined my escape. His alleged actions of fatally shooting 12 people and wounding 58 others have tarnished a place that I, and so many others, have used as entertainment. I went to watch “The Dark
Knight Rises” for a second time and couldn’t help but think about the tragic events that happened in Aurora. I wasn’t able to sit and enjoy the movie simply because I had this tiny bit of fear not caused by the movie. I can’t even begin to imagine the fear those who sat in the theater in Aurora will feel each time they go into a theater from now on. However, it must be remembered that an event such as this is rare. It will take time, but I hope one day those affected by this tragic night will be able to go into a movie theater again and enjoy a movie. Theaters should be a place for all to enjoy entertainment and no one should ever have to fear for his or her life. I think “The Dark Knight Rises” director Christopher Nolan said it best. “I believe movies are one of the great American art forms and the shared experience of watching a story unfold on screen is an important and joyful pastime,” Nolan said in a statement Saturday. “The movie theater is my home, and the idea that someone would violate that innocent and hopeful place in such an unbearably savage way is devastating to me.”

concern any teenagers because, following his “swagged out” performance, Bieber won his 12th Teen Choice award. Bieber won a total of four awards Sunday night while fellow teen favorite Taylor Swift shocked no one and won an impressive amount of five awards. “Vampire Diaries” and “Pretty Little Liars” picked up several awards in the TV category. The hit film series “Twilight” garnered three awards on Sunday (including the highly coveted Ultimate Choice Award), making a grand total of 41 awards for the franchise. Of course, hosts Demi Lovato and Kevin McHale (“Glee”) were too busy discussing their tattoos to give out every award within the two-hour time slot. Did you know there’s a Sports category? I didn’t; but more importantly, I know Kevin McHale has a Beatles song title tattooed on his ankle. Still, the two were a perfect fit for Teen Choice; they were surprisingly less awkward than the majority of award show hosts (i.e. Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell hosting the Billboard Music Awards last May). In this day and age, award shows are inherently train wrecks. In the past, actors, musicians and most public figures were required to be live. Thus, they were more accustomed to an award show setting. Nowadays, our celebrities live in a world of pre-recordings and are awkward performing live. Despite this struggle, the 2012 Teen Choice Awards somehow f lowed favorably and brought viewers some decent if not pleasurable moments. Minus Kristen Stewart, who spoke like she was in labor.

The University sponsors Toledo School for the Arts, an art-based school By Erin Cox Pulse Editor
Director Martin Porter of the Toledo School for the Arts remembers “American Idol” season nine runner-up Crystal Bowersox as one of the students who attended the school. Porter has been around the school, with the mission to provide students with creative opportunities to achieve personal and academic success through arts-based learning, for 13 years since it opened in September 1999. “For me it’s the perfect blending of arts and education,” Porter said. “I was a music teacher and I worked at BGSU as the director for public events, so I did have an arts and administration background.” Toledo School for the Arts is a charter school sponsored by the University meaning the University oversees the school in how it meets legal and financial standards, Porter said. “The University has been marked as a center for excellence for arts and education, so it’s a perfect match for our school,” Porter said.

school that is sponsored by a designated local or state educational organizations which monitors quality and integrity, but allows the school to operate free from the traditional bureaucratic and regulatory red tape that restrains public schools, according to the Toledo School for the Arts website, ts4arts.org. As a charter school, Toledo School for the Arts doesn’t receive any funds from local property taxes like other public schools. The school, therefore, operates on 30 to 40 percent less funding, Porter said. “We don’t have students pay tuition, but we do have a development office that helps raise money for the school,” Porter said. Other than the money raised, the school operates on funding from the state like any other school. The school has about a $5.5 million budget each year, Porter said. The students who attend Toledo School for the Arts have to go through an application process and a lottery to get chosen to go to the school.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR University shouldn’t demolish popular culture building
The demolition of the Popular Culture House is slated for mid-August. University officials have said they, “‘do not feel the house is particularly significant.’” President Mazey issued a letter stating, “I understand the nostalgic feelings some have for the building, since it once was the home of BGSU presidents.” Let us explore why the building is important beyond being a former presidential home.
Consider that the discipline of popular culture was founded at the University in 1973. This is a distinguishing feature of the school, and a rarity in academia. In that very building, the founding professors created a brand new discipline. Not just a program or a department: a DISCIPLINE. The importance of the house goes beyond the functionality of the building — the pop culture house acts as a powerful visual representation of the department. It may as well be a logo. Early pop culture classes were taught at the house, and
it remains the current office for the department. It is the birthplace of the discipline of popular culture. From a marketing point of view, there is major appeal in showcasing the building as a historic landmark. By preserving this history, you would be reiterating the importance of the program and discipline on the world stage. Preservation would highlight one of the University’s major contributions to academics. Raising awareness of this history would add to the prestige of the school, and further establish the
department’s international reputation. Beyond its importance as the birthplace of a discipline, it is architecturally and culturally relevant to many alumni, faculty and current students. The prominent Wooster street location gives the public a glimpse of the historic beauty they can expect as they enter campus. This little brick house is definitely significant. I urge University officials to reconsider demolition.

Beloved aunt’s illness makes family closer, stronger CHRISTINE KOHLER DESIGN EDITOR
I come from a family of nearly 40 people. Since I can remember, my grandparents’ house has been the gathering place for holidays, parties, vacations and weekly meals. It’s rare to stop by that big house in Gibsonburg, Ohio, and find it empty. The Kohlers emerged from a town of one stoplight and are now scattered from St. Louis to Richmond, Va., and somehow can maintain a sense of closeness as if we are all still living within city limits of one another. In good times and in bad, my relatives can come together and interact as if no time has passed since their last gathering. In the recent past, there have been very joyous events celebrated. Births, graduations, talents, recoveries, etc., but there have also been times of sadness and devastation. Three months ago, on a Sunday evening, I received a request from my father to contact him as soon as I could. When I reached him, he told me my Aunt Kay had been diagnosed with cancer again. She had been diagnosed once before and through extraordinary courage, strength and endurance, overcame it. I was in instant shock and disbelief, as I am sure the other 39 were. I recalled what I experienced during her fight several years ago. I was so terrified seeing someone, who had been like a second mother to me, in such torture. She
wasn’t herself and I couldn’t bear to see someone I care so much for in that much agony and weakness. I had distanced myself from her and the situation altogether and it wasn’t until she was in recovery that I was comfortable visiting her. This time, however, I am more aware of my emotions and have a different outlook. Instead of falling away and hiding from the reality of this, I am consciously suppressing my fear in order to be involved this time. Though it is heart-wrenching, my family and I know my aunt needs us more than ever right now. Just as she has been there countless times for many of us. I, for one, know I owe her anything and everything I can give. Kay has been such a keystone in my family. And I am coming to find, as I see her hospital room fill with flowers, cards, gifts and visitors, she is also a keystone in her many circles of friends. Whether she’s planning an occasion, catering an event, babysitting, or the center of attention, her presence is an integral part of any experience. And now, even though she many not be baking, party-going, or taking me to lunch, she is still a centerpiece of the Kohler family. Even though we are in a time of despair, she’s bringing us closer together then possibly ever before and that is something all of us can be grateful for. Though our thoughts naturally tend to concentrate on the negativity of unfortunate occurrences, it’s important to search for and embrace any optimisms that arise along the way.

Visit to big city helps plan future Lactose intolerance leads to tough life adjustments for self, family BOBBY WADDLE COLUMNIST
In summer 2011, I put together a section about travel, and I wrote a column mentioning that I never changed a time zone. While I’m certainly a well-traveled individual (I have been north, east and pretty far south), I have never been west of the
Ohio border. Until now. This past weekend, I went with two friends to visit a friend in Chicago. Naturally, crossing the time zone was monumental, but it was Chicago itself that left the biggest impression. Growing up in Bowling Green essentially got me used to a happy medium between the terms “city” and “town.” This place is

Dairy is an essential ingredient in most of the foods we consume on a daily basis. It provides us with the nutrition we need and makes for some tasty treats. Although most of society is able to enjoy dairy products of such variety, lactose intolerant individuals aren’t so fortunate. I am one of them. According to Terra Dobias,

a nursing student, the lactose enzyme that breaks lactose into monosaccharides is not produced, which means the body cannot absorb the lactose. Because of this, grocery shopping becomes difficult. It’s hard to get used to and places don’t make it easy for people with the condition. I’m constantly having to make sure places don’t have dairy in the foods they make. Family get-togethers are also tough because family members sometimes forget
to substitute ingredients. It can suck because you end up paying for it, no matter how careful you try to be. Now I have not always been lactose intolerant. I used to drink milk more than four times a day. I was obsessed with mac and cheese and ice cream was my favorite dessert. My sophomore year in college is when I started feeling extremely sick after I ate and that’s when I found out my body had changed. Every few years your body changes and mine unfortunately

Once I was declared lactose intolerant, I am not going to lie, I rebelled against it and figured my body was just having some issues and this wouldn’t be permanent.

Communication important to male friendships TARA KELLER FORUM EDITOR
Sometimes you can pick up right where you left off. The distance between friends can waver, but the bond shouldn’t if the communication stays constant. This was the case for my boyfriend Tyler and his best friend Nick. Now, the term “bromance” doesn’t really apply to these two. They transcend it. These two can have a conversation with a look and want the absolute best for the other. They were once in a longdistance relationship, but over the weekend, they were reunited once again. Nick lived in South Carolina and Tyler lived in Ohio. This, if any-
thing, brought them closer together. They talked a lot. Everyday. This is uncommon for guys. In my previous experience, most guys text their best buds and only call to share disgusting personal hygiene facts or boast about a new love interest. These two didn’t. I’m pretty sure they talked about gross bodily functions and I’m positive they discussed the lovely forum editor and weekly columnist. They talked. They kept the fires of their platonic love burning even though both of them were too far away to see the smoke. For the most part, girl friends are naturally gabby. We thrive on keeping track of each other and get upset if a week passes and the other is incommunicado. Some guys, unforunately,

are different. They think talking is too femnine and fear a close relationship with a man may throw their sexuality in question. Men, they think, are the strong silent types. Not all can fulfill the first requirement, but all can handle the latter. Stop. Just stop thinking about it. Start talking about it. Grab your best friend, bro, homie, dude, pal, buddy, fellow Star Trek lover, whatever. Talk to them. Take after the two aforementioned besties who thought terrorizing me in Buehlers’ is quality bonding time and entertainment. Men may be less talkative than women, but that doesn’t mean they have less to say.

On the other hand, I have never had to deal with traffic, crime or significantly larger walking distances. I feel safe taking walks here at night, and this is why I am grateful to have grown up in a mediumsized establishment.

MEAGAN From Page 4 Well, after I realized my body hated me after every meal and my friends got sick of me complaining that my stomach hurt all the time, I decided to try out the pills you can take to help digest dairy and make your stomach not hurt. Now, I am not sure if it is just because my body really cannot stand dairy or not but these pills did not help one bit. You take the pill before each meal that contains dairy, however after the meal I was still feeling gross inside and I hated that feeling. It was not until my senior year of college that I decided I can’t be so foolish anymore and I need to
walking downtown, gazing up at the peaks of the skyscrapers and enjoying walks along the lake and Millennium Park. It’s also a very busy and chaotic place. My taxi rides illustrated how aggressive and spontaneous a Chicago driver needs to be in order to reach a destination. If you see an open spot on the road, seize it. As someone who prefers to have a script in my hand to plot my next move, this would make Chicago driving terrifying. As a passenger, though, I found it exciting. This is the main reason I want to move to a bigger city. It’s always good to have a life plan, but having skills to adapt to unexpected situations is also important, and cities seem to offer the most opportunities. As someone in his early
twenties (and I am sure most of my readers can relate), I realize this is a pivotal stage in carving out the rest of my life. The unpredictability of the city is appealing for my situation. Naturally, I can’t say I know exactly what I want to do or end up when I leave school, but the large amount of activity and people walking around provides a nearly endless range of choices. However, there are limits. Cab fares, activities and rent are all expensive, so it’s not likely I could live somewhere like this right away. I find they are all worth the price, and this gives me incentive to work hard to be able to afford it.
really realize this disorder is not going away no matter how hard I try to think that it would. I then turned to making my own food with dairy free substitutes, and I accept the fact that I need to say no cheese or sour cream on my tacos at Taco Bell or any other food place for that matter. So despite the threat of lactose, intolerant people do have options available and ways to still enjoy the many foods that normally use milk as an ingredient, just with a little twist. Although many suffer from this disorder, there are ways to substitute milk-based products to create similar tastes and textures. The use of almond milk, veggie cheese, natural butters, dark chocolates
and coconut milk all can be used safely with little taste loss. Many restaurants and ice-cream stations are coming out with new products and menu options to accommodate those who are lactose intolerant. Here in Bowling Green, Kroger may be a shopping destination of choice for they have a dairy-free section, and if you’re feeling an ice cream treat to cool you down this summer, the ice cream station across town has dairy free ice-cream that is quite good and refreshing. Although it can be difficult, there are ways to live with lactose intolerance.

The Dog Days of Summer Countdown By Erin Cox Pulse Editor
It’s already the last full week of July and that means summer vacation is almost over. There are still many classic elements of summer left to accomplish to make this summer successful. Try these suggestions this week to fit in all the summer fun you can this summer break. 26. Have a cookout. Food always tastes better when it’s on the grill. 25. Go to the quarry. There’s a beach, water and you can take your own beer, what else do you need for a perfect summer day? 24. Watch the Olympics. They start Friday. 23. Make a milkshake. This will be a tasty treat to cool down. 22. Have a family reunion. Catching up with family isn’t always something on the top of your list while busy school days are on your mind, so take a lazy summer day to visit with family. 21. Go bowling. The shoes might be nasty, but the fun of bowling will be worth the extra time you’ll spend washing your feet. 20. Spend a day in your pajamas. We all need one of these days just to make it through the rest of the summer excitement. SUDOKO To play: Complete the grid so that every row, column and every 3 x 3 box contains the digits 1 to 9.

They are truly works of art,” Bandeen said. “I’ve also seen some really adorable doodles from
small children.” Since June 1, around 1,000 napkins have been collected, Bandeen said. Savanah Johnson, a senior in Art Education 2D, said she would love to see the exhibition. “Doodling is so great because it is subconscious art,” Johnson said. “You don’t have to make the drawing look exactly like what is being depicted.” Johnson said she likes how people don’t have to be an artist to have the chance to be featured in the exhibition. “Being an art educator,
the most common excuse I hear is ‘I can’t draw,’ but doodling is drawing and I’ve never heard ‘I can’t doodle,’” Johnson said. “Everyone can doodle so everyone can draw.

fall of 2003 to spring 2010. “It definitely prepared me for coming here,” Silver, a music major, said. “It’s more about the arts. They try to incorporate the arts into academic classes as well.” Kress said that the academic classes had concerned her before attending the school because the school does not offer any honors courses, but it turned out not to be a problem because the classes still presented challenges.
Toledo School for the Arts started in 1999 with only seventh through ninth grades, 127 students and a dozen staff members. Now the school serves sixth through 12th grades, 600 students and 78 staff, Porter said. The middle school level classes are all introductory, but in high school students can major in a subject, Porter said. The school is just like any other school with students taking four to five academic classes and two arts

Detroit Tigers take over first place of AL Central MICHELE WYSOCKI SPORTS EDITOR
The day has finally come — it took a little longer than expected, but all is restored in the hierarchy of baseball. The Detroit Tigers have regained the lead of the American League Central division and they did it in true Detroit fashion. Just a half game out of first, the Tigers and the White Sox could not have had a series against each other at a more perfect time. The White Sox came into Detroit defending their lead and the Tigers were looking to take it. Not only did the Tigers take it, but they brought out the brooms and swept the Sox in the process. Game one put the Tigers in the position to take the lead, game two they secured it and game three gave them some distance. This is the first time since May 1 the Tigers have been in first place, and the first time since the end of May that they have swept their opponent. Do you want to know what’s even better? When Detroit is hot, Cleveland is not. The not so “Windians” are a considerable 4.5 games out of first place, and just a little over a week ago they were up a half game on the Tigers and closing in on the division. Do you want to know why it gets even better than that? The Tigers and the Indians are mid series right now at Progressive Field, but even if they swept the Tigers, they can’t take first place.
SPORTS BRIEF
Athletics collaborates with Alumni Association BG Athletics and the Alumni Association are hosting the third annual BGSU night at the Toledo Mud Hens game July 28 at 7 p.m. Marna Cousino, Assistant Director of Events for Alumni & Development, said it is working to re-engage alumni. For the most part the game will be like any other Mud Hens game, but with much more orange and brown, Cousino said. “It’s a way to show our BG spirit,”
Cleveland’s only advantage — home field. The Tigers’ series against the Indians is just the beginning of a nine-game road trip that ends in Boston, before the team returns home to Detroit to play the Indians, yet again. The Indians are going to need all that they can get when it comes to luck because since the All-Star break Detroit has dominated both offensively and defensively, with a solid pitcher on the mound every night, it’s hard to lose. Use Saturday, game two against the White Sox — Rick Porcello, 23-year-old pitcher, comes out and retires the first 12 batters and consistently throws well for eight complete innings. It’s the closest he has come to a complete game in his entire career, which says a lot since his career is just getting started. It was also in that game that Brennen Boesch hit a three-run blast to center field to put the Tigers up 5-1 midway through the game. Boesch who has struggled with a bat in his hands in the earlier half of the season is averaging .333 in the last seven days with three home runs and nine RBI’s. Sometimes it’s hard to explain why everything falls into place, but this is no coincidence. The Tigers have always had an offense that could dominate and a defense that could shut down even the best of teams and it’s hard to compete with the pitching when you have the AL Sy-Young award winner starting every four days, but at this point in the season they have figured out how to put it all together and fire the deadliest cannon possible, one that landed them in first place.
Cousino said. BG head football coach Dave Clawson will be throwing out the first pitch along with Montique Cotton Kelly, director of Alumni Affairs and Alex Solis, Undergraduate Student Government president. “I’m honored to be selected to throw out one of the ceremonial first pitches,” Solis said. “I think this is a great event that allows students, alumni and athletics to show their BG pride in a different way — we take our color anywhere we go.” Also, fans wearing BG apparel will be selected for on-field promotions and events, Cousino said, and the night will conclude with post game fireworks. Tickets are being sold for $9 each; per the Mud Hens group ticket pricing.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
BG athletics hosts ‘Ladies Night’ at Doyt, women participate in football camp By Carli Evilsizer Reporter
The University football team will be getting in touch with their feminine side this Thursday. Coaches will be hosting Ladies Night at the Doyt and athletic attire is required. The football team will be hosting the women’s football camp July 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. and a portion of the proceeds will go to a charity of the football team’s choice. “Most football events are mendriven,” said Clint Dowdle, assistant director of Football Operations. “[Head coach] Clawson wanted to find a fun way to give back to the community and get more women involved.” The football team decided to host a ladies night featuring the ins and outs of football to get the community and University faculty and students involved, said Dave Meyer, assistant director for Athletic Communications. Senior Rikkelle Showalter is considering attending and said she considers herself pretty involved with the football team since she is dating a player and hears about most of the workouts and lifts. She
also said she likes to attend most of the home games. Ladies Night at the Doyt will feature a “class” with the coaches showing the women the “pads and the plays” of the game and they will also be given the chance to see the locker room, Dowdle said. Dowdle said they are going to show the women the facilities and give the women a pre-game prep talk in the locker room before moving outdoors. The women will get a chance to put their new skills to the test with some fun drills run by the coaches. “Instead of football 101, I like to call it football fun-oh-one,” Dowdle said. “We want to give them the experience of what it’s like to be a falcon football player.” Dowdle said the entire football staff will be there and are excited for a chance to teach the community the fundamentals of football and have fun while doing so. Not only will all of the football coaches be present, but some students from the team will also be making an appearance. “I can’t give away our secrets, but some of the players will be there to add some excitement to the night,”
Dowdle said. “I can’t say what exactly they will be doing though.” The night will end with a social so the women can enjoy food and beverages and get a chance to get to know the football team, he said. “I think it’s interesting that the football team is having a women’s camp,” Showalter said. “It’s a good idea though, once you get to know everyone and have a more personal relation with the players and coaches, I think women would be more willing to watch the games.” Ladies Night at the Doyt costs $45 pre-registered and $50 for walk-up registration starting at 5 p.m. The cost includes the event, a camp t-shirt, food, beverages and a ticket to the first game of the season — the home-opener game against Idaho. Meyer said the athletics department’s next big event will take place sometime in late August to kick-off the fall sports season, but have not picked a final date for the event. The event will be hosted to get people excited about the season and get the fans involved. Fans will have a chance to get to know the players, score soccer goals and practice their golf swing, Meyer said.

Picked to place second The Mid-American Conference picked the Falcons to place second in the East Division, behind the Ohio University for the season. Toledo was selected to win the West Division.
Everyone has a passion for something and BG volleyball player Lindsey Butterfield wanted to give children the opportunity to find passion in something she loves. The BG Volleyball team held a free volleyball clinic for the Perrysburg Heights Community Association July 11. “BG Volleyball and its players have been fortunate enough to be exposed to volleyball by someone at some point in our lives,” Butterfield said. “By simply giving that opportunity to other children, they might also find a passion in a sport that we all love so much.” The team provided a day of fun and fundamentals for 18 students from Perrysburg.

because it shows that they aren’t just here to play a sport, but to share their experiences as well. “They are from a community close to BG, so it was fun for them to be able to interact and learn from college volleyball players close to home,” Galen said. “I think we also gained a few fans from the clinic … they loved playing with us.” While the clinic was a forum for students to learn some volleyball skills, Butterfield said they got the kids not only excited about volleyball but about staying in school, setting goals and creating success. “It is important for us as a program to build support … and by meeting and interacting will every single person possible, we are able to make deep, personal connections with those in our community,” Butterfield said. Looking ahead, the volleyball team will begin their season under firstyear head coach Danijela Tomic.
The internal scrimmage will take place Aug. 18 and Butterfield said the whole team is excited. “With a new style of play set in place by our coaching staff, intense work ethic and a deep dedication, a new BG volleyball team will take the court in August,” Butterfield said. “Our bond and intensity will be evident from every spectator and fan.” Based on the work they did in the spring, Galen said the upcoming season looks bright. “Our team has a lot of potential, and I think that it is going to really show through this season,” Galen said. The BG volleyball team will play their home opener on Sept. 21 against Ohio University and Butterfield said they are starting out against some tough teams. “Starting with tough teams should allow us to peak at the right time during season and allow us many more MAC wins,” Butterfield said.

substantial, the office of service learning knows not all the hours completed by students and staff are accounted for, Rosser said. “We know that the number reported at the end of the year doesn’t count all of the hours put in by students and faculty,” she said. “We’d like to increase the opportunities to get them to log their service, and to log the impact of their service.” Student volunteers from the University often receive a lot of praise for their civic engagement, Rosser said. “Our students have a great reputation for their community service work,” she said. “Community service agents are impressed with the quality of our student volunteers.” A primary focus at the University, along with promoting quality community service among students, is to develop student led service organizations and civic engagement, Rosser said. “Most of our activities are trying to build peer led projects to engage student leaders in service,” she said. Mike Freyaldenhoven, assistant dean of students, said the Office of Campus Activities looks to serve organizations by providing them with opportunities to promote community service at the University. “There has been growth in the area of students who want to be involved in community service,” he said. “A huge commitment to serving has led campus activities to promote community service by inviting students to join organizations that have community service opportunities.” Some students think seeing and hearing about students

participating in community service motivates them to do it as well. “I think what motivates students to do community service is seeing other students doing activities involving community service,” said Jessica Bellomy, president of Civic Action Now, a campus organization that works toward encouraging community service and civic engagement. “I would say hearing their stories and knowing that other students do it too motivates students to get involved in community service.” Some students agree community service at the University has made a positive impact on students and the community. “I feel like it makes the environment at Bowling Green much more friendly,” said Kara Galek, a junior and active member of Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternity. “People are always trying to help other people out.” Nicole Wheaton, a senior and president of Tau Beta Sigma band service sorority, said participating in a community service-based organization made the University easier to adjust to. “It made Bowling Green feel more like home,” she said. “Coming from a hometown where community service is greatly promoted, it made it easier for me to transition into college.” Students who are looking to get involved in community service have many opportunities, Bellomy said. “There are so many ways to get involved,” Bellomy said. “We have a service resource connection, a volunteer and community partnership fair, a service calendar, a service roundtable, a weekly service update and an service award ceremony.”
