Award to alleviate regalia cost

if the

By Danae King Editor-in-Chief

The campus community was not only able to get information on a healthy lifestyle, but could also get fresh food at a farmer’s market on Tuesday.

The University hosted its annual health fair in the Union Ballroom with a farmer’s market outside the Union.

This was the first year the health fair was hosted in the fall. It switched from spring to fall to coincide with

For students like Sherry Early, panic was the first emotion felt when she found out she had to pay more than $700 to purchase a commencement gown, hood and tam.

Pam Oler, a sales manager at the University Bookstore, is in charge of regalia orders and said she sends out an email to all the doctoral students who apply for graduation. The deadline to purchase regalia for the December ceremony is Oct. 28.

“It explains how they go about placing a rental order or how to purchase [regalia],” she said. “Most rent because it’s expensive.”

Whether renting or purchasing, students may be able to get help with graduation through Graduate Student Senate.

GSS is offering an award for the first time this year to help students pay for regalia.

“There were graduate students not participating because they couldn’t afford to purchase regalia to walk,” said Martha Schaffer, vice president of the Graduate Student Senate.

For doctorate students, purchasing regalia costs $769 not including tax, possible shipping and without taking off the 10 percent graduate student discount, Oler said. To rent regalia, it costs students about $170.

“We’re right in line with all the other colleges,” Oler said. “The gowns are handmade.”

The reason for the expense is because the gowns are handmade with special piping, the University seal, University brown and velvet fabric, Oler said. The design and details were chosen by a previous president, she said.

Lingxiao Ge, GSS president, said she’s not sure how many students the award will be able to help, but she’s

Cigarettes are now available in different flavors like mint, chocolate and fruit.

The cigarettes that are available in the unique flavors are actually electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that have nicotine in them, said Faith Yingling, Director of Wellness.

Currently at the University, e-cigarettes are not prohibited and when the clean air policy goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014, e-cigarettes will still be allowed on campus, said Michael Ginsburg, assistant dean of students.

University initiates shoe recycling program for October to benefit EcoErek

By Alex Alusheff Managing Editor

Instead of sitting in the bottom of closets or dumpsters, ragged shoes, sandals and boots can now be recycled at the University.

The University promoted the program through the Common Reading assignment, “Born To Run” by Christopher McDougall, a book about a tribe in Mexico who excel in running long distances without shoes.

“This is a good fit because people go through a lot of shoes and it’s hard to find a sustainable outlet to get rid of them,” said Nick Hennessy, sustainability coordinator and member of the Common Reading Committee, which created the program.

The program will span the month of October and collection bins can be found in each residence hall, Jerome Library, Union and Sebo Center, Hennessy said.

The collection started with a Fun Run outside the library on Tuesday morning with McDougall, where the first pair of shoes were donated, Hennessy said.

The donated shoes will benefit EcoErek, a philanthropy started by Erek Hansen, who donates shoes and denim to be recycled for playground mulch, rubber turfs and insolation for cars and houses. Hansen, an Ohio resident, started recycling when he was 8 years old and

Program to provide for homeless, raise awareness

A HEAD START IN THE JOB MARKET

Project Homeless Connect will host event at St. Mark’s Lutheran church on Oct. 18

By Danae King Editor-in-Chief

Homeless people may be students, relatives, friends and coworkers, and there are 145 of them in Wood County.

Homelessness is something people often associate with urban areas, but it’s also something that affects suburban areas.

Project Homeless Connect is a national program that aims to aid homeless people and raise awareness about homelessness. It’s coming to Wood County for the first time on Oct. 16.

“It’s an opportunity for people who are homeless or pending homeless to access goods and services in one place,” said

Yingling thinks the fair is a good service for the city.

“I certainly think it’s a great collaboration not only with the University but with the Bowling Green community as a whole,” she said.

Twin Oaks Hydroponics was present at the farmer’s market selling lettuce and cabbage.

Owner Dan Coppus said it was their first year at the farmer’s market and that they still have things to learn, such as balancing pricing.

“It’s a learning curve for us,” he said.

STUDENTS SHOP for produce at the farmer’s market outside the Union on Tuesday afternoon.

While it was not as busy as Coppus thought it would be, he was still glad to offer students fresh food.

In the Union, booths for different organizations were set up, offering students information on healthy eating and exercise.

Wellness Technician Nancy Hollister, with the Wood County Hospital, gave students information on how to relieve stress as well as blood pressure tests.

Hollister felt that while giving students information on health is important, it is up to them to put it into action.

“I think they’re responsible for their own health and they need to be proactive about it,” she said.

The American Heart Association also had a booth at the health fair. Information on healthy food and a raffle for a cook book were available to students.

Falcons draw Northern Kentucky 0-0 after tie Friday Tiffany Williams Reporter

The Falcons went on the road twice this weekend to take on Marshall and Northern Kentucky.

This past Friday, the Falcons headed to Huntington, W.V., to play against Marshall. The game went into double overtime ending in a 1-1 tie.

An hour passed in the game and neither BG nor Marshall had scored.

After a penalty was called against Marshall, Danny Baraldi came off the bench and scored his first goal of the season with a penalty kick putting BG up 1-0.

It started to look like BG was going to take the win until Marshall scored its first and only goal of the game with two minutes left.

Both teams were tied in shots having 12 attempts, and Marshall led BG in corner kicks 6-5 and in saves 7-4.

BG senior Anthony Grant led all players from both teams with five total shots and four shots on the goal.

BG gains momentum against Akron Cameron Teague Robinson Assistant sports editor

Let’s rewind two weeks ago when Akron gave The University of Michigan a scare in the Big House losing by one touchdown. In my mind I thought, “is Michigan really this bad?” It’s Akron, the same team that won one game all of last year. This can’t be right. After that brief moment of talking to myself I immediately went back to worrying about the route BG was taking at Memorial Stadium by Indiana. To say the least, I was instantly worried what would happen at the Doyt.

Fast forward back to Saturday afternoon at the Doyt as I sat down in my seat in the press

box and became nervous. I have been hearing all week about this Akron quarterback Kyle Pohl and how he had such a strong arm but just did not have the weapons to help him like he needed.

On Akron’s first drive of the game everyone in the Doyt witnessed that arm that I heard so much about. The Akron play call was for Pohl to take a shot deep to receiver L.T. Smith. He was matched up against BG corner Aaron Foster and he executed his route so well that Foster was left at the 45-yard line with no play on the ball.

Pohl stepped back and threw a pass right into Smith’s hands at the 20-yard line as Smith cruised into the end zone giving Akron the early lead.

If that did not scare the Falcon fans, then the first 25 minutes

should have as the Falcon offense looked out of rhythm. The offensive line was struggling to open holes for the running backs and Johnson was running for his life in the pocket.

It looked like it would be a bad afternoon for the Falcons until the defense earned a stop on Akron late in the second quarter and the offense then scored a late touchdown. Although Joplin dropped two early passes, Johnson went back to him. He bobbled the ball but had enough concentration to keep control of it and evade the Akron safety to get in the end zone.

In the second half we saw the Falcon team that handily beat Tulsa and Kent. The defense was locked in for all 30 minutes of that second half and the offense was moving the ball at will.

The offensive line looked like

a totally different group as they opened up holes for the running backs. Greene was able to break multiple long runs as he finished with 142 yards rushing, one touchdown and one receiving touchdown. The running game was able to get started, which gave Johnson more time in the pocket as he finished with 229 yards and two touchdowns.

The highlight of the day came as the Falcons were running a screen to Greene but the defensive line got in Johnson’s face too fast and forced him to scramble to his left. While running to his left and falling backwards, he was able to get off a shovel pass to Green as he received it and made a few Akron players miss as he ran into the end zone for

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “I wear my orange shirt to bed.”

Michael Rizzardi Senior, Film Production

I decided to become vegan about a week ago.

I never expected so many intense reactions to a personal diet change, but suddenly all of my friends and family became “experts” on protein.

Being a vegan means that I do not consume any animal products—so no meat or dairy. This diet choice is completely about nonviolence, yet people react like I’m doing something horrible or crazy.

A lot of people had very strong responses when I told them I was going to transition from vegetarian to vegan.

The reaction I got the most is “but how do you live without bacon?” Like, calm down, it’s a strip of pig fat, not oxygen.

Most people were just curious, some thought I was crazy, others were actually angry. That confused me the most. It’s not like I told them that they have to stop eating dairy. I already cut out meat, so this was just one more step.

I became a vegetarian in September of 2012, knowing that I would one day also stop eating eggs and dairy.

Being a vegetarian, for me, was more of a transition period until I was ready to go completely cruelty-free.

The day I decided I was ready was when I visited the Sanctuary and Safe Haven for Animals Farm in Manchester, Michigan for the third time. I looked into the eyes of these cows and I knew that I never

wanted to do anything to hurt them ever again. They were so innocent and trusting.

It was also a lot easier to make the transition than I thought it would be. I assumed it was going to be much more expensive and that my eating out options would be severely limited.

But I’m spending the same amount of money at the grocery store as I did pre-vegan days and there are still plenty of places I can eat. Chipotle, Pita Pit and Subway are just some restaurants with vegan options, but there are many more in the Bowling Green area. Lola’s even has some dairy-free frozen yogurt options.

It’s easy for me to give up these foods because of my reason for going vegan. It’s worth not eating meat or dairy because I know that no animal needs to die for me to eat.

It’s like when I tell people that it’s estimated around 30,000 dogs are killed every day in China for their meat and fur. That amounts to more than 10 million per year. People get upset and disgusted.

Well, that’s how I feel about all animals. I love cats and dogs, but I love cows, chickens, pigs and goats just as much. That disgust you feel when you think about a dog being murdered and eaten is how I feel when I think about factory farms.

That is why I chose to be vegan. Not to make you feel uncomfortable, but for me to help as many animals as I can.

Utilize office hours, leave good impressions on instructors Arpan Yagnik Columnist

Among the several factors contributing to a student’s academic success, ‘office hours,’ in my view, are of significant importance.

Despite their central role in the academic experience of a student’s life, ‘office hours’ are more than often overlooked.

They are seldom capitalized upon as much as they should be.

Office hours present opportunities to students that are not available during normal class hours for various reasons.

One of the primary advantages of meeting a professor during his or her office hours is to introduce oneself and create a positive rapport. There can be many reasons why students may not get a chance to introduce themselves to the professor in the way they would like.

Some of the reasons may be large class sizes, inhibition to speak up in public settings, short class time, etc. Another advantage of office hours can be to discuss your

interests related to the subject other than the course work.

Visits during the office hours are mainly used to clear doubts or confusions related to the class topic.

Every student has different learning and understanding needs. If there is a concept that was discussed in the class that requires more explaining to comprehend, office hours are the ideal venue.

The professor can discuss the concept at your understanding level, as he/she is only interacting with you. This discussion enhances the learning experience, and furthers comprehension of difficult topics and the discussion stemming out of them.

To optimize this experience, prepare well before meeting with your professor. Going to meet without any prior studying or reading reflects poorly on you as well as makes it difficult for the professor to address your doubts.

Ask specific questions or clarifications. Also, do not wait for a long time to meet with the professor after a topic is discussed in class.

Try to meet with the professor as early as possible once you have a

doubt or confusion about that topic. The idea is to get directed help when and where it is required.

Another reason to visit a professor in his or her office hours is to discuss your performance in the class. There are two evaluations that a student has access to. The first is selfevaluation of one’s progress in the class.

There is a chance that self-evaluation can be biased or inaccurate.

Therefore, a student should visit his or her professor’s office hours and discuss the same. This will give you an accurate understanding of the reliability of self-evaluation and your real time standing in the class.

If the professor says that you are not up to the mark, the next step is to assess your approach towards the class in terms of number of hours of reading, consistency in homework, class participation, clarity in understanding of the requirements for the class, etc.

A general tendency to ask for ‘extra credit’ options is very limiting, both toward learning and gaining more marks.

Make it a point to discuss with the professor where

you need to improve and then accordingly dedicate more time to that aspect of your approach.

Office hours are also ideal for discussing any special needs or requests that students may have for the class.

Lastly, office hours are designed to enhance the overall academic experience in a university. Students can discuss goals for the future, strategies to reach there and explore possibilities for internships and co-ops.

However, before discussing the above, it is important to check with the professor if using office hours for such discussion is fine with him or her.

All of these reasons show how office hours are important elements of academic experience and are designed to facilitate student needs. It is a smart choice to take advantage of a readily available and valuable resource. I strongly recommend using office hours to the students at the University.

Leadership in pirates help expand world exploration greg burleson Columnist As historians, we rarely deal with concrete facts, but instead must investigate centuries of objectified opinions and interpreted realities. The purpose of this investigation in leadership will be to focus on understanding the conflicting perspectives historians confront on a daily basis. While I have already raised the Alexander conundrum, this debate is rooted in unanswered questions in contrast to different opinions. For this exploration, I will propose the issue of perception with a very unique method and allow you to infer the question at hand.

The 16th century is often seen as the height of trade and exploration. Francis Drake is among the leaders of this growing movement.

This explorer and merchant left an invaluable impact on

the world. He was a leading figure in the slave trade which brought an illegal work force to the Americas.

I will not condone slavery, but must recall the reality of its influence on the development of the Americas. In addition, Drake was among the world’s most accomplished explorers. Drake followed his passions of trade and exploration in sailing around the southern tip of South America. He continued to sail east en route to becoming only the second man to circumnavigate the globe, and the first to do it and return alive. Francis Drake is unquestionably an extremely important figure in the development of the Americas.

The 16th century is often seen as the golden age of piracy. El Draque is among the most distinguished scalawags on the high seas.

A pirate leader’s success is often judged by his ability to ransack and instill chaos; El Draque was no exception. He notoriously ransacked Spanish port towns in the Caribbean and was

remarkably successful in his attempts to do so. Not to be satisfied with ransacking the Spanish Main, this man took his fleet around the southern tip of South America. El Draque then proceeded to plunder Spanish cities and ships en route to becoming one of the most successful pirates of all time.

The 16th century is often seen as the founding period of the British Empire. Sir Francis Drake is among the greatest figures in British colonial history. Having been knighted in 1581 after he sailed around the world; he went on to make a great contribution as Vice-Admiral in the British defeat of the legendary Spanish Armada in 1588.

Drake was a national hero.

His unquestioned ability to keep the Spanish colonies at bay, allowed the English to establish a foothold in the race to colonize the Americas. The southern tip of South America, the Drake Passage, is named after the route he took in his glorious circumnavigation around

the world. This trip not only brought glory to himself, but was a source of pride in the British Empire.

Whatever you choose to call this man, it is the facts, not the perceptions in this man’s life that are agreed upon. In the United States, he will be found as Sir Francis Drake in your textbooks, as these books are written from the British perspective. Britain’s dominance in the United States during its foundational period explains this. Had Spain been preeminent in America, Drake’s legacy likely would be one similar to those of Blackbeard or Henry Morgan. This principle, point of reference, has the greatest importance in going forward as we consider the next topic, one of immense controversy. In the next examination in leadership, I will make an unmakeable argument; I will write an encomium of Hitler.

Faculty senate smooths out conflict in charter Amendment addressed redundancy with Collective Bargaining Agreement

By Eric Lagatta Campus Editor

The Faculty Senate approved Academic Charter amendments that were conflicting or redundant with the Collective Bargaining Agreement during its Tuesday meeting.

This past May, the University Board of Trustees ratified the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Faculty Association and the University.

The bargaining agreement addressed wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment. The Academic Charter remains to address issues not covered in the agreement.

The changes come after the Senate Executive Committee constituted an ad hoc committee of seven to review the charter and propose amendments to it.

“We were finding out where the different elements go in our governmental process,” said Sheri Wells-Jensen, associate professor in the English Department, Faculty Senate Chair and one of the committee members. “That’s a complicated process.”

Concerning instances

REGALIA From Page 1 hoping about two to three students will benefit from it for each graduation ceremony.

The award is open to anyone to apply— master’s and doctorate students— but will be awarded based on financial need.

To apply, students can fill out the application through OrgSync. They must write an essay explaining why they need help affording regalia and why attending the commencement ceremony is important to them.

Applications are due Friday and the awards will be announced toward the end of the following week, Schaffer said.

Schaffer is part of the committee who will select the award recipients and said she thinks “the ceremony is an important part of the transition from graduate school to professional life or to this graduate school to another.”

“It promotes a sense of community and belongingness. It’s kind of a send off, for many students it’s an important event in their lives,” she said.

Students may not be able to afford regalia because of the time the expense comes at, Schaffer said. For example, during the period they can purchase regalia, they may also be

in which the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Academic Charter conflict, the bargaining agreement will “prevail,” according to a narrative provided by the committee members.

This also means that redundant, outdated and misleading material must also be removed from the charter.

“It was sometimes tedious work but very heartwarming,” said Lawrence Coates, a professor in the English Department and a representative from the Faculty Association who reviewed the charter.

Also during the meeting, University President Mary Ellen Mazey reiterated the “unsustainable” funding model that she addressed during her State of The University Address on Sept. 17.

The University’s portion of the State Share of Instruction, the formula used to distribute state money to Ohio’s public colleges and universities, is decreasing every year. This year it is $60 million of the budget, while the University also has the third highest tuition in the state for public universities, Mazey said.

Because of the decrease in SSI funding, Mazey is looking for alternate ways to increase

Regalia by the numbers

December Commencement 37 people applied for doctoral graduation 1 person has purchased regalia for December August 2013 Commencement 35 people applied for doctoral graduation 6 people purchased regalia 22 rented regalia The others either didn’t graduate or didn’t walk Oler said between 18 and 24 people that actually walk in a class of around 37 75 percent usually rent regalia and 25 percent usually purchase regalia

moving, traveling and paying the graduation fee, she said.

“Usually by that point everyone has stretched their budget as far as they can stretch it,” Schaffer said.

Students also may need to purchase regalia for their future careers. For example, if they are going into higher education, they will need to wear it three or four times a year for the ceremonies at the University they work for.

They can purchase regalia as alumni, but there’s no discount as there is for students, Oler said.

“I encourage them to go out and watch one of the commencement ceremonies online if they’re having second thoughts about cost,” Oler said. “I think they need to see the grandeur of it, that everyone is dressed the same and it looks really cool.”

funding without raising tuition.

“I’m an optimist, I’d like to say it’s going to come back, but it’s not going to come back,” she said.

With two meetings left this semester, and already three items approved by the senate in its first two meetings, WellsJensen is positive about the progress of the Faculty Senate.

“I think we’re settling in,” Wells-Jensen said. “We’re in a good position to remember what our focus is.”

A number of issues are coming up for Faculty Senate, Wells-Jensen said.

This includes a review of the Academic Honesty Policy, particularly the section about plagiarism. Also in the future will be a review of climate initiatives, particularly the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, a pledge to reduce emissions and achieve climate-neutrality in the coming years that Mazey signed this past November.

Concerning these issues, the Faculty Senate must evaluate “where we stand” and “where we want to go,” WellsJensen said.

“We have a lot of useful and interesting work ahead of us,” she said.

ECIG From Page 1 the env ironment and people who don’t smoke since the “smoke” that people are breat hing out is actua lly water vapor. Because of this water vapor, e-cigarettes are allowed in campus buildings.

“We’re saying it’s not prohibited for two reasons,” Ginsburg said.

“One, it doesn’t produce second-ha nd smoke.

Two, it does not create a heating element or f lame that would catch things on fire.”

While the e-cigarettes may be safer for nonsmokers, they might not actually be safer for smokers.

“There have been … research studies t hat have taken a look at e-ciga rettes a nd t he variabilit y across the percentage of nicotine and it may say one thing but it may have another,” Yingling said.

The clean air policy w i l l be re-exa m i ned next fall to determine if any changes regarding e-cigarettes will need to be made.

A problem Yingling sees with e-cigarettes is that there are not many restrictions for minors.

“We’ve got some problems here, especially if we

are not regulating this to people under the age of 18,” Yingling said.

Since there is not much of a restriction, younger people have better access to the e-cigarettes.

“W hat we’re seei ng … a mong m idd le a nd h ig h school st udents, people a re just picking it up because it’s more accessible and it’s cool,” she said.

E-cigarettes have been seen as a way to quit smoking but Yingling believes that students will be more inclined to actually start smoking.

“What the problem is, is that [middle and high school students] will go from e-cigarettes to real cigarettes,” she said.

Yingling believes e-cigarettes will be a gateway to real cigarettes not only for minors, but for people who have quit smoking as well.

“If somebody has quit smoking, they may be inclined to take back up the e-cigarette,” she said.

There isn’t a lot of research that has been done on e-cigarettes but some of the research that has been done has conflicting results, Yingling said.

“A lot of people say that they use electronic cigarettes to quit smoking,” Yingling said.

Junior Angelina Baker first started smoking because she was around it

“If somebody has quit smoking, they may be inclined to take back up the e-cigarette.”

Faith Yingling | Director of Wellness a lot as a child. She hasn’t tried e-cigarettes “because if I wanted to stop [smoking] I would stop.”

“Smoking is a psycholog ica l st ress reliever which is why I do it,” she said.

A survey done by the department of social sciences and health policy at Wake Forest School of Medicine, though, found different results in the college age group.

“What they found was a lt houg h e-ciga ret te usage was more common among conventional cigarette smokers … it wasn’t exclusive to [college students],” Yingling said. “ So e-cigarette use [by college students] was not associated with the intentions to quit smoking.”

As for whether e-cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes or not, more studies need to be done in the future.

“There’s more questions than answers,” Yingling said.

Cost of Regalia

At the University: Gown— $539 Hood— $133 Tam— $100 Total— $769 Ohio State University: Total— $983 Ohio University: Total— $820 University of Toledo: Total— $889 University of Cincinnati: Total— $834

So far one person has purchased regalia for the December ceremony, but there’s still time for the other 36 students to rent or purchase theirs.

“It’s part of the package to be able to wear that gown and not walking doesn’t take away from your degree or what you’ve achieved, but walking is kind of the cherry on top of your six-year ice cream sundae,” Oler said.

Walking in the commencement ceremony is important to Early and will symbolize her education coming full circle.

“Up until that point it’s all been academic— you get to blend that academic and personal,” she said. “You’re a whole person, not just a student.”

Early got help from her family, but other students may not be able to, or may not discover the cost in time.

Cameron caught 10 passes for 91 yards and one score, giving him five on the year.

The Browns take on the Buffalo Bills at home this Thursday night. Both teams come into the game at 2-2.

San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates had a season high in catches with 10 and yards with 136. Gates also added his second touchdown of the season to defeat the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday.

BG out shot Northern Kentucky 17-13 and in corner kicks 11-1, while Northern Kentucky had more saves 5-3.

“We created a lot of chances but there is something missing to our offense,” Nichols said.

“I was even more pleased with today’s game more than the game against Marshall,” Nichols said. “We were really dominant this game.”

“We were really comprehensive this game we didn’t have any player who played poorly,” Nichols said.

All of the Falcons losses this season have been by seven points or less. The Falcons look to get back on target taking on the 2-2 New York Jets at home this weekend.

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints won the battle against the previously undefeated Miami Dolphins.

Brees threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns. Two touchdowns came to tight end Jimmy Graham who still leads all tight ends in touchdowns with six. The 4-0 Saints take on the 3-1 Chicago Bears this upcoming week. The Bears were defeated this week by the Detroit Lions who scored a season high 40 points. Reggie Bush, who sat out week 3 nursing a knee injury rushed for a season high 139 yards including a 37-yard touchdown run. On the touchdown run Bush looked like former Lions great, and Hall of

Manning threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns in the 32-point victory. Manning now has 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions on the season. He leads the NFL in passes completed, touchdowns, passer rating, pass completion percentage, and passing yards.

Last years MVP Adrian Peterson had a strong week playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in London, rushing for 140 yards including two scores.

Peterson’s outburst gave the Minnesota Vikings their first win of the season. Peterson is first in the league in rushing touchdowns with five, and second in rushing yards with 421, right behind Eagles LeSean McCoy with 468.

STUDENTS PARTICIPATE in a Fun Run to kick off the shoe recycling program.

SHOES From Page 1 he is now 13.

Hansen said the effort to recycle shoes from the University, as well as other places, lets him know he’s doing a good job.

“It tells me I’m getting my word out,” he said. “It’s good to recycle and others want to take part in it.”

So far this year, Hansen said he has recycled roughly 4,000 pairs of jeans and 2,000 pairs of shoes.

The University has been working with EcoErek for the past three years and Hennessy said it’s impressive to see someone so young accomplish such a task.

“Nothing goes to waste,” he said. “It’s a great way to keep unwanted shoes out of a landfill and recycle them into useful products.”

Amy Foust, an academic adviser for Advising Services, came up with the initial idea

for the recycling program in the committee, which coordinates programming around the common reading each fall semester.

“Anytime we can help the environment or people in general, we’re glad to do it,” Foust said. “I hope people take advantage of the opportunity and make a large difference.”

Hennessy sees potential for a large collection because students will be able to go home for Fall Break and bring back shoes to donate.

Some students think the cause alone is good enough to get people motivated.

Junior Sarah Kochert read the book and thinks because TOMS shoes is a popular movement, which donates shoes for every pair bought, that it will be easy for students to support the shoe recycling.

“It makes no sense in manufacturing more rubber for the sole purpose of playgrounds when there is so much [unused rubber] already,” Kochert said.

the 30-yard touchdown.

It seems the Falcons constantly come up with a highlight reel play that we can go back and think, wow, what a play.

This combination of Johnson and Greene has really started to come together in the past weeks as each of them have had their week on the MAC east offensive player of the week list. Johnson’s ability to keep the play alive for his receivers and Greene’s ability to make people miss

and even his ability to take hits makes this offense very versatile going into the heart of the schedule.

The defense is beginning to resemble the defense from last year that dominated the MAC. We all know this defense can stop the run but in the second half they showed that they can lock in and stop the pass as well.

With that combination of a dangerous and versatile offense and a dominating defense, the Falcons should continue to sit atop the MAC East standings fighting for a trip to Detroit. They still

have to face MAC contenders Toledo and Ohio, as well as a game at Mississippi State. If the Falcons keep rolling along I do not see why they would finish the season with more than 2 or three losses. If that happens, a potential matchup against defending MAC champion Northern Illnois will be waiting in Detroit.

For now fans can be happy that the Falcons are 4-1. A homecoming matchup against Massachusetts on Saturday should allow them to build their confidence up before they travel to Mississippi State in two weeks.
