CVS to stop sales of tobacco New policy well-received, not expected to harm revenue

By Janel Hlebak Reporter

Vagina Monologues begins this weekend; proceeds to benefit Cocoon Shelter

It’s no secret that Bowling Green has recently become a “smokefree” campus.

Similar to this initiative, CVS Pharmacy has decided to completely eliminate tobacco products from its stores, including the newly opened branch in Bowling Green.

CVS Pharmacy will cut off selling all tobacco products Oct. 1 of this year at both local and national branches.

The Bowling Green CVS just opened this past year on the corner of Wooster Street and South Prospect Street and has been successful in business so far, said

For the past few years, female Bowling Green students have been shocking others by performing “The Vagina Monologues.”

This year is no different. Cast members have been promoting the upcoming event by making posters, posting flyers all over campus, and even selling vagina-shaped chocolates at Union tables in preparation for this weekend’s shows.

“People ask if it’s a joke,” said cast member Kaylyn Simpson, a junior. “They completely change their mind once they see the show and feel the empowerment that we all feel.”

The Vagina Monologues will be performed this Friday and Saturday evening at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. The show will be in Olscamp room 101 this weekend and will be interpreted into sign language.

Doors will open an hour before the show starts.

Written by Eve Ensler, “The Vagina Monologues” is an all female show that features 18 monologues that explore different tribulations that real women go through.

Ensler interviewed over 200 women to gain inspiration to create dialect that could touch on many real issues that women go through, including anything from menstrual periods to sexual abuse to transgenderism, said Breanna Randolph, a senior and cast member.

“I love that there’s women in the cast that have been through these experiences,” Randolph said.

“There’s heart in it.”

Each year, the University’s production of the show raises money and collects money for The Cocoon Shelter.

The Cocoon Shelter is the only non-profit shelter for domesti-

The University will be hosting high school seniors this weekend for a multicultural overnight visit.

In addition to staying in a residence hall Friday night, the students will see presentations from various offices and organizations, meet current staff, faculty and students, and participate in an icebreaker and a bowling trip, said Cecilia Castellano, interim director of admissions.

Castellano said the overnight visit isn’t necessarily better than a traditional tour or other visit, but it is a different opportunity.

Wendy’s re-opens with high sales after renovations

Dress for success

Wi-Fi, Coke Freestyle among new amenities at South Main Street location

By Kathryne Rubright Reporter

Wendy’s on South Main Street reopened Feb. 17 after two months of renovations.

In its first week after reopening, the location beat several of its previous sales records, said comanager Becky Grey. Holding fundraisers for local organizations in its first days back open helped to drive sales.

Thursday was a fundraising day for Otsego Marching Band. Grey said that hourly and daily sales records were beaten on Thursday and the weekly sales record has been broken as well.

The Wendy’s of Northwest Ohio franchise office declined to provide specific sales numbers.

“It kind of has a more modern and fresher look,” said Kate Edwards, general manager.

The previous look was a retro 1960s or 70s style, said crew member Derek DeWalt.

Trusting Jillian

Interior renovations included installing an electric fireplace and getting new furniture, DeWalt said.

“It just seems like a more homey environment [now],” DeWalt said.

Customers seem to agree.

“It’s very inviting,” said Molly Fenn, a Bowling Green resident.

Fenn also described the new look as organic and modern.

University graduate and Bowling Green resident Amber Boyer said that having Wi-Fi available makes the location more inviting to students. She found some of the other renovations more unexpected.

“It seems a little excessive for Bowling Green,” Boyer said. “It kind of looks like a day spa in here.”

Still, Boyer said she is likely to eat there more often now.

Customers like the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine that was installed, Edwards said.

“Customers seem happy about

the fact that our prices didn’t go up,” DeWalt said, referring to drink prices remaining the same despite expanded options due to the Freestyle machine.

For example, Boyer was able to get diet Coke with lime.

The location was closed for renovations for about two months, Edwards said.

“They had to take the whole front of the building out,” she said.

During that time, some employees worked at other Wendy’s locations, like Bowling Green’s East Wooster Street location, DeWalt said.

While customers seem to be enjoying the renovations, DeWalt said they have also made employees’ jobs easier.

New fryers that are more “easy and convenient” were put in, DeWalt said.

DeWalt also said lack of space in the back had previously been a problem and now there is more space.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH EVENTS:

Women’s History Month kicks off at the University this Saturday with a professional fashion show.

Called “Toss the Tiara: An Alternative Dress-up and Role Model Day for 3-6 Year-Olds,” the event features costumes from careers in which women are underrepresented, said Mary Krueger, director of the Women’s Center.

It is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in 308 Union.

Much as the name implies, the month is a way to highlight women’s contributions to society, Krueger said.

The event is the first in a series this month that address this year’s theme: “Girl Culture.” March’s programs will explore what it means to be a girl in the U.S., and what the future is, Krueger said.

The month is planned by the Women’s Center and Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Program. Fifteen organizations also co-sponsored the month’s events.

Other events this month include keynote speaker Madison Kimrey, a 12-yearold activist. Kimrey, who worked to restore voter preregistration for 16- and 17-yearolds in her home state of North Carolina, will present “Only Six Years until I’m an Adult: My Life as a Pre-Teen Activist,” at 7 p.m. March 24 in 206 Union.

The month culminates on March 28 with the Women’s Studies Research

MARCH 1: “Toss the Tiara: An Alternative Dress-up and Role Model Day for 3-6 Year-Olds” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in 308 Union, will address careers women are underrepresented in.

MARCH 24: Keynote speaker Madison Kimrey, a 12-year-old political activist, will present “Only Six Years until I’m an Adult: My Life as a Pre-Teen Activist,” at 7 p.m. in 206 Union.

MARCH 28: Lorena Garcia, sociologist from University of Illinois, will present the keynote event, “Risk and Responsibility: Naming and Disrupting the Inequalities in Girls’ Lives” at 2 p.m. in 228 Union.

MARCH 28: Women’s Studies Research Symposium will allow undergraduate and graduate students to present research in 314, 315 and 316 Union starting at 9 a.m.

services that we as an office provide,” Plaza said.

Plaza also said the office will be able to interact with students one on one during a luncheon.

In addition to the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the high school students will hear from the SMART Program, the TRIO Programs, Student Financial Aid and Student Support Services, Castellano said.

They will also hear from the Black Student Union and the historically black fraternities and sororities.

Ana Brown, coordinator for diversity and retention initiatives, said the students will learn what the SMART Program is and why they

might want to get involved.

SMART stands for Students of Color Mentoring, Aiding, Retaining, and Teaching and is a mentoring program where upperclass students mentor freshmen.

Any student can be in the program, but it is geared toward underrepresented students because of the unique challenges they can face, Brown said.

In addition to offices and organizations, students will get information on academics. They will learn faculty expectations and what is expected of them as students, Castellano. “[The visit is] an opportunity to experience campus life,” Castellano said.

ing prior to the show and there will art from local female artists.”

Although it’s an all-female cast, those involved seemed hopeful that men would be in the audience as well.

“People think that just because it talks about feminist issues it’s only for girls,” Franklin said. “We’d love to see some guys out there.”

Cast member Kaylyn

Simpson seemed to agree.

“I’ve been doing this show for three years and love to see my guy friends out there supporting us,” Simpson said.

Tickets for the show will be $10 for non-students and $8 for students. They can also be purchased with students’ BG1 cards. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to The Cocoon Shelter.

Schools around Bowling Green continue to look to improve college prep

By Cassie Sullivan Forum Editor

The education students receive before beginning higher education can make a difference in how their lives are during college.

“The strategy of high schools is that high school makes students ready for college,” said Jim Fritz, the superintendent of Anthony Wayne Local Schools.

Anthony Wayne Local Schools is located in the suburbs of Toledo, 20 minutes away from Bowling Green.

The ways Ohio schools prepare students for college range from college prep classes to actual college classes.

I n Bow l i ng Gre en Cit y Schools, st udents sta r t t heir prepa rat ion for college before they start eighth grade, said Doug Niekamp, a g uidance counselor from the district.

“We start in eighth grade or before that and talk to the students about registration and scheduling for the next year,” Niekamp said. “We talk to students about PSEOP [Post Secondary Enrollment Options Program], which is available to students as early as eighth grade.”

While college planning starts when students

have not gone to high school yet, the efforts to prepare them for college continue throughout their high school education. University junior Carly Crawford said her high school education prepared her for college.

“We had a lot of [advanced placement] cou rses offered I took to prepare me for college,” Crawford said.

Bowling Green City Schools prepares students for either a two-year or four-year university.

Students have the opportunity to attend college fairs at either Owens Community College or Perrysburg High School.

In their junior year, students put together their resumes and cover letters and look at various universities, Niekamp said.“Students have access to OCIS [Ohio Career Information System], which is a big database with college information, such as majors, the cost of college, financial aid and other information,” Niekamp said.

In Anthony Wayne schools, students’ days replicate what college looks like, Fritz said.

“We listen to students who come back and tell us about their college experiences and how we helped them prepare for college,” Fritz said.

While schools have their various ways of preparing students for college, colleges also offer ways for students to find help if they need it.

“Students who need help get help,” said Eric Myers, the coordinator of accreditation and licensure and a lecturer in the College of Education and Human Development.

“The University provides the math lab in Olscamp, writing labs and everyone has basic assistance.”

Myers has seen both sides of the education spectrum, having been involved with public school education as a board member of the Bowling Green City Schools and being a lecturer at the University.

While students have high scores on their SAT and ACT testing, 40 percent of students still need to take remedial courses, Fritz said. But testing is different from university to university.

The roles of teachers in the students’ lives are one of the most important factors.

“The strongest asset in education is the teachers.

As a group, they’re dedicated and hardworking,” Myers said. “Compared to other states, pay is not high, but dedication is what leads students to success.”

Manager Douglas Greek.

But tobacco sales have not been high at the Bowling Green location.

“We are a pretty new store, so tobacco is definitely not a big seller for us,” Greek said. “People in BG don’t think to come to us for tobacco products because we’re so new and they are used to getting them at other places.”

That being said, Greek is skeptical that the nationwide overhaul will affect his store’s revenue.

“More than anything I think we’ve been getting really positive feedback about the issue,” Greek said. “If anything we have gained customers.”

Those at the CVS corporate level seem to have a similar view.

According to a CVS national hotline customer care specialist, CVS was supposed to take an estimated initial hit of $2.1 billion in revenue.

This does not seem to be the case.

“We’ve personally taken millions of calls giving positive feedback on the decision to remove tobacco from our stores,” the specialist said. “I think that customers respect the decision and appreciate that we are taking this initiative, even if it meant we’d take a hit financially.”

With those at the national and local level in a consensus, the only opinion left was that of customers.

Freshman Olivia Cook

agreed that CVS made a smart move with this decision.

“I think that this will be really good for their business because they’re promoting good health,” Cook said. “People might have to get their cigarettes from somewhere else, but I think it’s a good business move.”

The customer care specialist continued on to mention the reasoning behind the tobacco cut.

“First and foremost we are a pharmacy — our goal is to give and promote health care to our customers,” the customer care specialist said. “I think that people are becoming more and more anti-cigarette, and as a health care provider, we should follow their lead.”

When Steven Spielberg presented the nominations for best picture in 2010, he said something that still resonates with me to this day: “In a moment, one of these 10 movies will join a list that includes ‘On the Waterfront,’ ‘Midnight Cowboy,’ ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The

Deer Hunter,’” Spielberg began. “The other nine will join a list that includes ‘The Grapes of Wrath,’ ‘Citizen Kane,’ ‘The Graduate’ and ‘Raging Bull.’”

Cue applause.

“Either way, congratulations; you’re all in very good company,” he said before presenting the nominations.

As the 2014 Academy Awards approach this Sunday, Oscar-fans will be reading and making their own predictions. Some will exult when their favorite movie takes home the coveted “best picture” award, and others will become incensed when

theirs is snubbed.

But I encourage viewers to keep Spielberg’s observation in mind.

Much of the pre-Oscar buzz is about what will win, what should win and what got snubbed, but when it comes right down to it, who cares?

Rather than focusing on all of the campaigning and trivial reasons this or that Academy member votes for one movie over another, let’s just focus on the movies themselves.

MIDWEST MEDITERRANEAN Lebanese restaurant expands from Toledo to Bowling Green

By Kathryne Rubright Pulse Reporter

For students looking for a place to eat other than fast food or even pizza, there is a new option on Wooster Street.

Kabob It, a family-owned business serving Mediterranean food, opened in Bowling Green on Feb. 1.

“It’s focusing on Lebanese food,” said Zach Baroudi, owner. “We also have some of the Greek food.”

The menu includes items such as gyros, kabobs, shawarma and falafel.

“We have really good falafel that we make here,” Zach said. “We sell a lot of falafel sandwiches.”

Sophomore Tia Newlove has had a falafel sandwich from Kabob It, as well as hummus and pita bread.

“I thought the food was great,” she said. “Really authentic, fresh, well made.”

Zach said all preparation is done in-house, with nothing coming in frozen.

He works with his father and three younger brothers.

“I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” Zach said. “I see my dad and brothers every day.”

There can be minor hiccups, Zach said, but at the end of the day everything is always good between the family members.

“We’re brothers, we fight a lot,” said Samir Baroudi, shift manager and sophomore at the University. “At the end of the day, we still work together.”

The family has had another Kabob It location for four years in Toledo at the Franklin Park Mall.

“That location does very well for us,” Zach said.

The Brent Lowry Band performs at festivals and clubs throughout Northwest Ohio.

CAMPUS brief

Country band to perform at Checkers Pub on Saturday

Checkers Pub BG is hosting country act, The Brent Lowry Band for people to attend on Saturday night.

The show is from 10 p.m. to 2 p.m. with a cover charge of $5.

The country band is from Pemberville, Ohio, and is accustomed to playing at venues like fairs, festivals and other clubs in the northwest Ohio area, said Brent Lowry, vocalist and guitarist for the band.

Although the band does not normally play shows

in college-based towns, Lowry said he hopes the crowd will be more diverse, with more students to attend.

“We don’t usually play shows like Checkers, we just wanted to try a new spot,” Lowry said. “We’re trying to get a lot of college students there.”

Lowry said performing in a college town like Bowling Green feels natural because it’s so close to Pemberville, which is about a 15-minute drive from the city.

“Bowling Green is closer to our hometown and I live pretty close to Bowling Green and it’s where I grew up,” Lowry said. “We haven’t played here for a while.”

Little Mix’s sophomore album “Salute” definitely packs a punch in its debut.

This girl group has brought 15 new songs to the table; each one providing a new sound that is completely original to this group.

They became a group from the X-Factor U.K., after all four girls auditioned solo, they were placed together and soon became Little Mix in 2011. Later on they won

the competition and their career has only skyrocketed from there.

They were signed to Simon Cowell’s personal label, Simco Records, and began recording right away. They soon released their major single, “Wings,” and their new album definitely has a few more hits on it for this upcoming year.

Salute is just under an hour in length, long enough to keep you entertained but it doesn’t get repetitive over a long stretch of time. It’s a pop album, but

with the variety of different beats and sounds it can also be considered R&B, so this group hits two different genres that can make them likable to a wider variety of people.

The album starts off with the song, “Salute,” for which the album was named. It contains heavy drumbeats and lyrics such as “It’s who we are, We don’t need no camouflage, It’s the female federal, And we’re taking off.”

There is a story among hitchhikers that rests on the verge of lore.

If you believe everything you read or hear, which I encourage for the future, the story goes that there was a young man in his mid-20s, of unknown European origin, who lost count of how many times he hitchhiked after more than 700.

The legend continues, his strategy was to sit down along a motorway, kick up his feet and read a good book while waiting for a ride to a destination of the driver’s choice.

When prompted as to what kind of people he expected to meet on the way, his response was concise, eloquent and vulgar. “The coolest [flipping] people,” he responded.

This outlook on life, approaching people with warmhearted optimism, is a fantastic way to live.

There are so many great people around us who the sooner we begin to understand the importance of developing relationships with, the better off we will be.

A great privilege in my life is to have moved around so much.

My first school was the University of Findlay and when I left, I could have never imagined how beneficial my time here would be.

I went to school there for three years and played varsity football but, far and away, the greatest benefit to my life was the connection I made with my faculty.

I currently sit on the precipice of a life altering event and know my first faculty played an essential role in my success.

My second school was Valencia College in Orlando, Fla. Working at Disney World, I made countless friends but it was my faculty who most sincerely aided me.

A tremendous British-born, Cambridge-educated professor played as large a role as any in aiding my first move to England.

I must recognize a faculty member’s role in shaping my future.

While in England, I attended the University of Sheffield and had a tremendous set of faculty.

One man in particular reinvigorated my love of the ancient world.

As of Wednesday morning, this man’s contribution to my future is matched by only a few.

For anyone who is familiar with my views, I hold the University’s faculty in the highest regard.

In two years, I have failed to find a single faculty member who does not excel at their job.

Our faculty is, far and away, the most exceptional collection of talent I have ever encountered.

Furthermore, my admiration for academics was only heightened when Robert

Garland visited us to present on Julius Caesar.

It is my most sincere hope that Garland writes an inspiring autobiography to portray the non-conventional track to success in academia of which so many are destined.

When the time came to apply to graduate programs, I reached out to a Sheffield faculty member for suggestions within Britain.

He levied the most elevated praise upon the University of Manchester and an esteemed professor at that university.

Upon conversation with Garland, an independent reference was given to Manchester and that specific faculty member.

I was sold and began my application process. Supplying my references and support were faculty members from the University, as well as the University of Findlay.

My acceptance, this last Wednesday morning, to a Postgraduate Taught program at one of the top 50 universities in the world comes as the result of so many wonderful faculty members who have excelled at their jobs.

I have not had courses with some of these people in over five years but the relationships built were made for a lifetime.

The University’s most treasured commodity is its faculty.

Every moment spent engaging these wonderful people is a building block to a lifetime connection.

Changes to Constitution better for America Phil Schurrer COLUMNIST

The political gridlock in Washington is legendary.

The amount of money needed to run for virtually any political office has become almost obscene.

And nearly every representative finds the need to begin running for re-election as soon as his or her term begins.

So, here’s a set of suggestions for four Constitutional amendments; help reform our broken government.

First, change the term of U.S. Representatives from two to four years.

By doing this, freshman representatives would have more time available to learn how to govern before running for re-election.

T hese fou r-yea r ter ms shou ld not end i n t he sa me yea r a s t he president ia l ter m.

More attention could then be focus on the track record of those running for re-election.

Second, regardless of ability or political skills, no one should remain in elected office too long.

A lifetime limit, perhaps 12 years, should be placed on the total amount of time one can serve as a senator or representative.

This way, new people and

new ideas would be circulating in Congress.

Elected political office should not be a lifetime career.

Third, all too often, legislation reaches the president’s desk with a certain amount of non-relevant material attached to it.

The solution is simple and is already used by some states: a line-item veto.

This would permit the president to approve parts of a bill while rejecting other more objectionable parts.

The presidential veto of these rejected items could be overridden in the same manner as is in place today.

Fourth, meaningful campaign financing reform has run aground on the rocks of the First Amendment.

A recent Supreme Court decision has virtually guaranteed a flood of money from nearly every source, due to a strained interpretation of freedom of speech.

A constitutional amendment would overturn the Supreme Court decision, yet retain nearly all the freedom of speech provisions.

Congress and the state legislatures would have the power to regulate the direct or indirect financing of any political campaign for any elective office within their purview.

Most important, any law passed pursuant to this amendment would not violate the First Amendment.

In this way, Congress could exempt the financing of political campaigns from First Amendment scrutiny.

All other rulings and case laws dealing with the First Amendment would remain intact.

It’s not likely that Congress would be motivated to pass these reforms.

The Founders anticipated this and made provisions in Article Five for amending the Constitution without Congress.

Two-thirds of the states could vote to call a Constitutional Convention.

This nearly happened a century ago.

In 1912, pressure was building for the direct election of Senators, as opposed to the original practice of having them chosen by each state’s legislature.

Congress was slow to respond and 27 states had called for a Constitutional Convention to deal with the subject.

Only 31 were needed to reach the two-thirds threshold. Under this pressure, Congress then passed the Seventeenth Amendment.

There are risks with a Constitutional Convention.

Yet, we must learn to trust each other as the Founders did.

The very risk of a Constitutional Convention might prompt Congress to begin the reform process.

First-year survey reveals 56 percent freshmen expect B average

Survey helps University compare characteristics of incoming students; had 91 percent response rate

By Aimee Hancock Reporter

When it comes to success in college, a person’s previous experiences, abilities and characteristics all come into play to help determine the outcome of their time spent at any university.

For more than 30 years, the University has given a first-year student questionnaire to incoming freshmen in order to assess these facets. The “freshman sur vey” is designed to collect personal data that is not considered in the actual enrollment and registration process.

Some of the information collected includes the number of institutions each student applied for, the number each student was accepted to, demographic information and the level of importance that various aspects of University life are to indi-

“I wasn’t really sure if I’d be able to maintain a B average because I’d heard a lot of different stories about classes in college, good and bad.”

Elise Grum | Freshman vidual students.

Each yea r, incoming students are given this survey before they leave SOA R [Student Or ientat ion, Adv ising and Registration.] The most recent survey given in 2012 had a respondent total of 3,309 out of 3,622 students, or 91.4 percent of all the students enrolled part-time or fulltime at the University.

Andy Alt, director of New Student Orientation and First-Year Programs, said that the survey helps the University compare characteristics and statistics of its incoming students from year to year, as well as from university to university.

One of the questions students are asked is if they believe that they will be able to make at least a “B” average while at the University. The 2012 survey results stated that 56 percent of incoming freshmen believed they could do so.

Freshman Emily Ed mond son sa id t hat i n h ig h s chool, she received “a v e r a g e g rades, B’s a nd C’s.”

Upon entering college, Ed mondson bel ieved that she would be able to maintain a B average.

According to the survey, 10 percent of incoming students thought that they might change their

career choice at some point during their time at the University.

Freshman Elise Grum said that the University was her first choice of institutions because she had originally planned to major in education, which she said the University is known for. She is now undecided and is working on figuring out a new major.

“I wasn’t really sure if I’d be able to maintain a B average because I’d heard a lot of different stories about classes in college, good and bad,” Grum said.

Alt said that the survey is also helpful with regards to figuring out new students’ needs and apprehensions about attending college. He said the results are shared with the Learning Commons and this gives an idea about what services will be of use to students in order for them to succeed.

Students highlight the amount of money Dance Marathon raised at 2013’s event. This year’s event is April 5 and 6 in the Perry Field House.

Dance Marathon looks to raise money for Toledo’s Mercy Children’s Hospital Dance Marathon to host seven-hour Mini Marathon this weekend

By Aimee Hancock Reporter

This coming Saturday, the University’s Dance Marathon will host its yearly Dance Marathon Mini-Marathon in the Union Ballroom.

The event is slightly different than the original Dance Marathon in that it is shorter— just seven hours compared to the original 32. Another key difference is that the mini-marathon recruits students from local high schools to participate.

Bot h ma rat hons have t he sa me goa l i n m i nd, w h ich is to col lec t a s much money a s possible for loca l ch i ld ren’s hospita ls.

Last year, the original and mini-marathons raised about $314,000 altogether. The mini-marathon was responsible for $22,000, with a total of $10,000 raised at the event itself (the other $12,000 came from a single donor outside of the University).

Sophomore Aust i n Flores is head of the minimarathon committee and said he has been planning the event since last May. He is in charge of fundraising and recruiting students, which involves

“What I didn’t realize was how passionate everyone in Dance Marathon really is about helping the kids.”

Hannah Tempel | Sophomore contacting local high schools and asking them if they are willing to participate.

Those who wish to participate then choose a group of students, usually those involved in extracurricular activities at the school, to come and represent their high school at the event.

Flores said that six schools will be in attendance, up from last year’s four participating schools.

Although the main focus is on the high school students, anyone is welcome to attend the event.

Registration costs $30 and a t-shirt and food is included in the price.

The day will feature an array of activities, beginning after registration.

These include a minuteto-win-it act, carnival-

themed activities, a minirave, family feud and a dance competition.

Flores said that some families from the children’s hospital will be in attendance as well to share their stories. This will be an opportunity for people to have a “connection to where their money is going,” said Flores.

At the end of the event, the total amount of money raised will be revealed and the high school that raised the most will receive a trophy.

Also included at the end of the marathon will be a ceremonial candle passing in honor of those for which the donations are given.

Sophomore Hanna h Tempel is on the minimarathon committee and said that this is her first year participating in the event. She said she joined because she wanted to be more involved on campus and that “Dance Marathon just stood out.”

“What I didn’t realize was how passionate everyone in Dance Marathon really is about helping the kids,” Tempel said.

Registration will begin at 10:45 a.m. on Saturday and the marathon will continue until 6 p.m.

Dance Marathon continues funding efforts, prepares for main event in April

By Alex Traczyk Reporter

The 32-hour event for Dance Marathon, now called Ziggython, is approaching, with around 90 registered dancers already at their fundraising mark.

Students who are running the event are putting the finishing touches on specific details and some fundraisers are fighting to make the minimum amount of $100.

Planners and participants are getting used to a venue change and adapting to the Perry Field House instead of the Rec Center.

Ziggython consists of all students and people who are fundraising dancing for 32 hours straight to raise money for Toledo’s Mercy Children’s Hospital, said senior Sarah Hauck.

Hauck is on the steering committee for Dance Marathon and is the event management chair.

“Everything is getting finalized right now for Ziggython.

Contracts like food, entertainment contracts, venue contracts and ordering supplies,” Hauck said. “Everything is coming together very nicely.”

To fundraise, Hauck and her friends have gone door to door, posted on social media sites, and even auctioned off dates with themselves.

“My core committee generated around $300 from that between four people,” Hauck said.

Senior Holly Hemminger, assistant director of Internal Affairs for Dance Marathon, fundraises by writing personal letters.

In the letter, she explains what she will be doing and what the money raised is going towards, in hopes of having people donate.

“I’ve seen a lot of influx of money brought in through personal letters,” Hemminger said.

The number one fundraiser, Camille Colletti, raised her money by sending emails to people who helped her last year.

Colletti raised around $5,000 last year and wanted to challenge herself to make more.

According to the Ziggython fundraising page, Colletti is at $2,644.

“My sorority helped me become involved in biking and I knew once I did it, that I would want to keep doing it,” Colletti said.

For Colletti, raising money just gets more and more exciting every year.

Senior Greg Cherry, entertainment chair for Dance Marathon, is also fundraising.

Cherry has raised his money by emailing and send-

ing letters directly to his family and alumni who he has been involved with.

“The list of possibilities for people to ask is endless if you really give yourself time to think about it,” Cherry said.

Morale Captain Baylee Leonhardt has exceeded her fundraising goal of $1,100 by raising $1,155.

Leonhardt said she raised all of her money through social networking by posting videos on her Facebook.

“I was really nervous that I wouldn’t make $1,000, but I raised it in a week and a half,” Leonhardt said. “My next goal is $2,000.”

There is still time before Ziggython for people to raise money and they will keep trying.

Ziggython is hosted at the Perry Field House and starts April 5 at 10 a.m. and goes until April 6 at 6 p.m.

Registration cutoff is April 6 at 6 a.m. and donation cutoff is April 6 at 11:45 p.m.

“To me, Ziggython is a bunch of crazy college kids coming together because they have a similar passion and a similar drive to do something bigger than themselves,” Hemminger said. “It gives them a chance to be a part of something bigger than themselves and that’s raising money for Mercy Children’s Hospital.”

“There’s also a good local support group around it,” Zach said.

The Toledo location does not deliver, but the family realized delivery would be necessary in Bowling Green.

“In a college town, that’s where most of the business comes from,” Samir said.

Delivery allows students living on campus and people who do not have cars to try Kabob It, Samir said.

“There was demand for [delivery], so we started to do it,” Zach said. “Down here

everybody delivers.”

Business has been increasing every day since Kabob It opened, Zach said.

“The bar crowd’s busy for us,” Samir said.

The line can be out the door at that time, he said.

Senior Alexandra Miller said she appreciates having another vegan-friendly option in Bowling Green.

“Because I’m vegan I really enjoyed [Kabob It] because it was easy to specialize,” Miller said.

For example, yogurt was easily replaced with hummus,

she said.

Miller had been to the Toledo Kabob It previously, but is glad there is a closer location now.

for what turns out to be an experience that is both selfobsessed, and self-loathing.

Throughout the album one gets the feeling that Lukens, who has been attending Drexel University, has drawn a lot of material from the time he’s spent in college.

There are a lot of situations described that I’ve been in myself. From dealing with the sound of a couple gettin’ it on in the next room to being so into someone that you’ll make up any excuse to be with them, many of us have been there.

However, dealing with such subject matter creates a problem; Lukens’ lyrics can

sometimes go from poetic to whiney mid-sentence. There were times when I went from impressed to annoyed in mere seconds. Lyrically, there is a lot to like in this album and really, the lyrics are probably exactly what Lukens was going for.

They’re just a bit disjointed for my taste.

Musically, I’d call the album “pretty.” The guitars are often soft, and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to mistake the band for straight indie rock. Aesthetically, it’s difficult to call Modern Baseball anything with the word “hardcore” in it. The guitars aren’t heavy, and I can’t

picture any sort of mosh pit forming to this music. But in songs like “Apartment,” the band displays a fast-paced style that reminds you that they’re firmly rooted in punk.

Overall, the album has a sound that helps to translate the lyrics in a way that isn’t too abusive to the ears, and every song meshes well.

Overall, it’s easy to see what Modern Baseball is going for, and there are a lot of great things happening here. In fact, I could see this being an album that I end up really liking after repeated listens. On its face, it’s an album that people our age can immediately relate to.

much weight on which movies get which awards.

Further, the movies that win aren’t always the ones that deserve it. In fact, I often find myself at odds with the Academy’s choices [King’s Speech over Social Network?

No way.]

For instance, in a year [2012] when “Les Miserables,” “Life of Pi” and “Zero Dark Thirty” were nominated, did “Argo” really deserve to win best picture? The better question is, do you even remember “Argo?”

Another prominent exam-

ple of why not to put your faith in the Academy’s discretion: Martin Scorsese, the director of such monumental films as “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas” and the aforementioned “Raging Bull,” didn’t win his own Oscar until 2006 for “The Departed” after making films for 40 years.

An Oscar does less to ensure a film’s immortality and more to ensure elevated DVD sales when the production company can advertise the release as an “Oscarwinning film” on the DVD jacket.

In the end, a movie will stand the test of time not because of the awards it garners, but because of its own merits.

SALUTE From Page 4 This is the band’s statement that they are who they want to be and they refuse to change that for anyone just for fame.

This album has many other upbeat songs that anybody can listen to like “A Different Beat” and “Move” (Another big hit among their fans at the moment). One can really hear the intensity in their music and how much the band really gets into what they are singing about.

They also show their softer side as well with the ballad “Good Enough” which really showcases the

bands vocals, and shows the strength in each girl’s voice individually as well.

The emotion put in this song is especially strong, with powerful lyrics such as, “Am I still not good enough? Am I still not worth that much?”

All in all, Little Mix has gone all out with this new album. You can tell they did not want to leave their fans with any disappointment following their first album, and they did just that.

With a sound that is completely theirs, Little Mix is letting the world know that they will stop at nothing to be heard and not with just one big single, but with the many more to come.

‘FIERCE, COMPETITIVE AND CLUTCH’

BG moves one game closer to title Falcons beat Kent State 82-38 Thursday night

By Tara Jones Assistant Sports Editor

There never was enough time on the clock for Kent State.

The BG women’s basketball team defeated Kent State by a score of 82-38 to advance to 24-3 overall and 14-1 in the Mid-American Conference. The Golden Flashes fell to 6-20 overall and 3-12 in conference play.

The Falcons forced several shot clock violations against the Golden Flashes and ran away with the game early. With the win, the BG senior class claimed their 100th victory of their collegiate careers.

In the first half, the BG defense forced 13 turnovers by getting in the passing lanes and holding the Flashes to the end of the shot clock. However, Kent State went 12-of-17 for 70.6 percent from the field to stay in the game.

BG Head Coach Jennifer Roos said that the turning point of the game came when her team closed out the half. Senior Jillian Halfhill made a three-pointer while falling to the floor after being fouled.

Halfhill then missed the free throw for her and-one opportunity, but the Falcons got a series of two offensive rebounds that ended with an Alexis Rogers put back layup in the final second of the half.

The Falcons came out of halftime with a 41-26 lead. Facing a Kent State full-court press and with their defensive efforts, the Falcons were able to get out and literally run away with the game with several fast-break layups in the second half.

Rogers, a fifth-year senior, led the way for the Falcons with 18 points, 12 of which came in the first half. Halfhill finished with 15 points on the night, just two of those coming in the second half, as most of the starters were able to remain on the bench for much of the second half.

Junior Jasmine Matthews added 13 points for the Falcons, going 80 percent from both the field and from three-point range on 4-of-5 attempts for both. Redshirt sophomore Erica Donovan finished with 11 points on the night to round out the double-digit scoring

Bowling Green point guard points to chemistry and trust for success of herself and the team

By Cameron Teague Robinson Sports Editor

T

rust can be something that sets team sports apart from independent sports, it’s something that can turn good teams into great teams and this year’s women’s basketball team has a point guard they trust in every facet of the game.

Senior and Bowling Green point guard Jillian Halfhill has earned the trust of every one of her teammates, coaches and friends in her final year as a Falcon.

“Trust is something that is developed on and off the court, it has a lot to do with friendships and chemistry. I think I have tried to get chemistry with everyone on this team so they could trust me,” Halfhill said. “The fact that they trust me really means a lot to me. I honestly trust

every single one of the girls on this team, they have made me better and I just hope I have made them better as well.”

Head coach Jennifer Roos said she has more trust in Halfhill this year than any other year as she has given her more freedom to make the right play call when it matters most.

“I have allowed her to call more of the plays this year and she has been making the right play at the right time,” she said. “She can get people in the right places to be successful, there is an art to that and she has definitely mastered it.”

Halfhill said this year’s team is the closest team she has been a part of in her four years as a Falcon, that contributes to them being so trustworthy. That trust is shown even more in late-game situations.

Center and fellow senior Jill Stein said she has complete confidence in Halfhill in late-game

Falcons overcome adversity in win

Men’s basketball team defeated the Kent State Golden Flashes 73-66

By Cameron Teague Robinson Sports Editor

The Bowling Green men’s basketball team showed off their depth in a 73-66 win over Kent State University.

“This was a character win for our guys,” head coach Louis Orr said. “They fought through adversity.”

Part of that adversity was playing without Junior Anthony Henderson as he was a gametime scratch after he injured his ankle in practice before the game against Miami University this past Sunday.

JD Tisdale started in his place. He played 28 minutes and scored five points.

“What he brings to our team is hard to replace,” Henderson said. “If this was the MAC Championship game he could have played.”

Junior Damarkeo Lyshe took full advantage of the Henderson injury as he played a season

high 19 minutes and scored eight points on 3-7 shooting.

“He is a hardworking guy,” point guard Jehvon Clarke said.

“Him coming in and hitting some big shots was a huge lift for us.”

The Falcons never trailed in the game. The Golden Flashes had tied the game 13-13 at one time in the first half, but that was the closest they would get.

In the second half, the Golden Flashes cut the lead to 53-50, but after a Spencer Parker put back a lay up the Falcons went on a 9-2 run. After that, the Falcons would not lead by any less than three.

This win has a lot of postseason implications for both the Falcons and the Golden Flashes. The Falcons came into this game as the number 10 seed for the Mid-American Conference Tournament that begins March 10.

The top four seeds automatica lly get byes into t he

quarterf ina l round and t he first and second seed teams get byes into t he semif ina l round. Seeds f ive t hrough eight get to host home games for the first round of the MAC Tournament.

With the win over Kent State, the Falcons jump the Golden Flashes and become the number nine seed as Kent falls to the number 10 seed. There are still three games left in the regular season as the Falcons try to move up the MAC Standings.

Next, the Falcons travel to the University of Akron for a rematch with the Zips March 1.

In their last match at the Stroh, Jehvon Clarke banked in a three to tie the game before Quincy Diggs hit the gamewinning shot for the Zips.

“You have to be able to preserve and be mentally tough,” Clarke said. “If we can continue to do this in these next three games on up we will have a big shot at winning the title.”

situations because she has been really clutch in their time together on the court.

“Jillian makes us go this year. She is our leader from the point guard position, she is fierce, competitive and clutch,” junior guard Deborah Hoekstra said. “She didn’t have the biggest role when she came in but she has grown from that.”

Halfhill has improved since her first two years. When it came time for her to start her junior year she had a little more than 100 career points and now, as a senior, she is on pace to finish about 150 points away from the 1,000 career point mark.

“You have to have a serious desire for basketball to even play in college,” Stein said. “She has always been a driven and determined person

Falcons look to gain eighth win for first time since 2008 Track travels for MAC Championship RUBEN KAPPLER | THE BG NEWS

The BG gymnastics team will head south to take on the Texas Pioneers in a non-conference matchup in Denton, Texas this weekend.

The Falcons are 7-5 and 4-1 in Mid-American Conference play this season. They look to make some history as they go for their eighth win of the season, which would be the most since the team went 9-12 in 2008 under head coach Kerrie Turner.

“They all talked about how motivated they are every week when the rankings come out or they see the kind of hype and the buzz around the program that they are so excited,” Turner said. “I think that is why they are a great team. It is because they are hungry every day to get better and they want to get better every meet.”

Coach Turner also talked about the accomplishments this team has had compared

HALFHILL From Page 8 whether it’s in school or on the court.”

Halfhill’s desire for the game of basketball began as a young girl, she even played in a boys’ AAU league when she was younger. She realized she had enough talent to play at the college level when Tom Jenkins, an Ohio University recruiter, invited her to come to their women’s basketball camp, which was invite only at the time.

College coaches saw her talent at an early age but they were not allowed to send her any official letters or offers until her sophomore year due to NCAA regulations. When that day came in Halfhill’s sophomore year, she came home to about 150 college letters spread out on the table.

What made the University stand out from the other schools that sent her letters was the way the coaches made

Women’s From Page 8 effort for the Falcons.

Halfhill said she was proud of her team for holding Kent to the lowest point total the Falcons have allowed all season.

The Flashes scored just 12 points in the second half.

She attributed their defensive effort Thursday night to the vast amount of preparation the Falcons did for the Flashes’ offense.

“We really pride ourselves on our defense this year and being able to do that and get the 100th win tonight is just an amazing feeling,” Halfhill said.

to past teams.

“I think they have tasted success much more than any other team that I have had,” Turner said. “That becomes a little addictive, you want to get back to those wins every weekend and get those high scores.”

Since the 2009-2010 season, the team has struggled in the last four meets of the season with a combined record of 3-13, but the Falcons look to end that cold streak.

“We have some strategy this week, we have actually rested quite a few athletes … we have used this week to get bodies healthy and maybe not push as many numbers, but push a little bit more efficiency,” Turner said. “We are trying to be smart here going into the end of it and I think that is what is going to push us to perform better.”

Despite the better record and ranking over the Pioneers, the Falcons might be an underdog in this matchup. The Texas women’s team has had some suc-

her feel on her visit. Halfhill said they made her feel good about herself, her family and they also told her about the atmosphere.

“That’s what I love the most about basketball, the people and the atmosphere,” she said. “The fans here are awesome, they are a sixth man on the court and it just makes everything so smooth and enjoyable. It’s like a family atmosphere here and it’s awesome.”

When Halfhill arrived at the University she had to sit for two years behind two different point guards in Tracy Pontius and Jessica Slagle.

In those two years she witnessed a Mid-American Conference Championship, NCAA Tournament berth, National Invitational Tournament berth and learned a lot of other things along the way.

“I learned that no matter what type of point guard you are that you will fit the mold somehow,” Halfhill said.

She remembered the senior

Roos said that this game was a tale of two halves, with Kent State going from 70.6 percent from the field to just 15.4 percent in the second half. She said in order for her team to win tonight, she knew they would have to be effective on both ends of the floor.

“We had to be extremely focused at both ends of the floor tonight to be successful, and even though we took an early lead, I never felt comfortable in the first half,” Roos said. “I thought our kids did a much better job in the second half defensively, forcing contested shots and forcing shots at the end of the shot clock, and that was a big key in the game.”

cess in the past with nine USAG national championships, winning their last one in 2008.

“Right now we have been out-scoring them and if you look at scores and rankings we are ranked above them,” Turner said. “I have total respect for their program … and I don’t underestimate the fact that it is going to take all of our efforts this weekend but I also feel confident that we can go in there and have a great meet as well.”

The Falcons competed against the Pioneers last year and came up short 191.800 to 191.100. They are currently 6-4 for the season.

“I think that last year we thought we would get the win … so this year we are ready to go in and just do the same thing we have been doing all year, hit all of our routines so we can get that win,” Junior Jamilah Ali said.

BG will battle the Pioneers Saturday at 8 p.m. Central Standard Time, in the Kitty Magee Arena.

class from her freshman year as being a class that took everything in their hands.

That year after losing their first game to Evansville they went on a 15 game winning streak and eventually won the MAC Championship.

Like that senior class, she believes that her class can do almost anything they want and that their future is in their own hands.

“I want to be remembered as someone who came in her senior year and took advantage of the roles we were given,” Halfhill said.

Halfhill will graduate with a degree in accounting in May and her Bowling Green career will be over. She said her favorite part about being a Falcon is the support she has gotten here from the fans and students around campus.

“Our games always have around 2,000 people in attendance and for girls’ that is incredible,” Halfhill said.

“I have learned so much by being here and being a part of this culture as a person and

“We really pride ourselves on our defense this year and being able to do that and get the 100th win tonight is just an amazing feeling.”

This Sunday, the Bowling Green Falcons track and field team will compete at the Mid-American Conference Indoor championship.

This is a chance for the Falcons to improve on last year’s event, where they finished in 11th place.

The Falcons, however, have a lot of reasons to be confident going into this meet. The team managed to hit a total of 10 automatic qualifying marks, as opposed to one the year prior.

They also rank no. 14 on the top 20 list in the Great Lakes Region as of Feb. 18.

Players such as Brooke Pleger, Alicia Arnold, Brittany Sinclair, and Jeanette Pettigrew have managed to hit the qualifying marks. Arnold and Pettigrew, in particular, have qualified in multiple as a basketball player.”

The Falcons are currently ranked 29 in the country and received 14 votes to be ranked in the top 25. In the last NCAA Tournament bracket prediction, they were positioned as a number 11 seed playing against The University of Nebraska.

“This is my last chance to make the NCAA Tournament,” Halfhill said. “I’m honestly going to give it all I have.”

In four years it has not been her experience, her long brown ponytail or her improved 42 percent shooting percentage that has made Halfhill the person she is.

She said she is the person she is today because of her teammates.

“My teammates are what make me. I would be nothing without them,” Halfhill said. “They make me better each day ... Being so close with them has made me trust them as well as them trust me and that has really made me who I am.”

events such as the shot put and the 600 meter events.

The Falcons also managed to have another player move into the top 20 list in redshirt freshman Kori Reiser. She did this by setting a new personal best of 53-1 in the weight throw event from Kent State Tune-up this past Saturday.

BG track and field head coach Lou Snelling said he’s glad to see her improve and hopes to continue seeing her do well.

“She had thrown that mark back in December, so it’s good to see her move past that and improve,” he said. “Hopefully she’ll go into MAC and move forward from there.”

Pleger, who broke the school record this year and made it to the national championship round, won the weight throw event at the Kent State warm-ups. From

During the first two series of the season, the Falcons have been led by the Andrew duo. Pitcher A ndrew Lacina k has pitched 10 innings and allowed just one earned run so far this season.

The southpaw has not been able to pitch since the 2012 season because of back-to-back arm injuries, including Tommy John surgery at the end of 2012.

“He looks like t h e A nd r e w of old ,” Sch m it z sa id.

A ndrew Kubusk i is swinging a hot bat right now for the Falcons with a .417 average and five runs scored.

“I am just trying to keep a clear mind set and looking for a good pitch to hit,” Kubuski said.

Snelling’s view, he said her confidence is high going into the MAC Championship.

“Nationally being that high on the list and qualifying for nationals as well as the MAC levels, her confidence has to be super-high right now,” Snelling said.

As a whole, the head coach feels the Falcons are slowly but surely getting closer to being an overall balanced team.

He says that although they still have work to do, they are still improving from last year and are in a good place.

“We’re closer to where we want to be, we have more abilit y, more depth…we’re not there yet,” Snelling said. “We’re getting closer to where we want to be.”

Georgia Tech head coach Danny Hall is in his 21st season with the Yellow Jackets. Schmitz and Hall have played against each other when Hall played at Miami of Ohio and Schmitz played at Eastern Michigan. They also coached against each other when Hall was at Kent State.

“This is a great opportunity for BGSU baseball, a perennial top 25 team with a hall of fame coach,” Schmitz said about their opportunity to play against Georgia Tech.

The series is set to begin Friday, Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. at Russ Chandler Stadium.

Falcons look to win final road series of the season

By Corey Krupa Reporter

The Falcon hockey team will travel to Marquette, Michigan this weekend to face the Northern Michigan Wildcats.

This will be the final regular season road series for BG and four games remain for them to clinch a spot in the WCHA playoffs and host a playoff game.

BG is in a three-way tie for fifth in the WCHA with 24 points. The top eight teams in the league will make the playoffs and the top four teams will host a playoff series.

“We need to play better,” BG head coach Chris Bergeron said. “None of that stuff matters until we start playing better.”

Last Friday, BG lost 6-1 to the United States National Development Team Program in an exhibition game at the

BGSU Ice Arena. Senior forward Bryce Williamson scored the only goal for the Falcons, while Tomas Sholl and Tommy Burke split time in the net in the losing effort.

The Falcons have a record of 5-7-4 on the road and are averaging 3.0 goals-per-game. On the season, BG has outscored their opponents on the road in the first two periods 31-19, but has been outscored 28-17 in the final period.

Since Jan. 4, the Falcons have a 2-4-2 record in conference play. BG has held a lead entering the third period in five of those games.

The Falcons currently have 12 skaters with at least 10 points on the year. Forward Dan DeSalvo is currently leading the Falcons with 27 points, including six goals and 21 assists.

The last time BG had at

least 13 skaters with at least 10 points in the same year was the 2005-2006 season, when the Falcons had 14 players reach at least 10 points.

BG has received at least one point from 24 of their 25 skaters so far this season.

Defenseman Ralfs Freibergs will return to the Falcons this weekend. Freibergs was in Sochi, Russia playing for his home country of Latvia in the 2014 Winter Olympics.

“We thought getting back from Alaska and getting all of that out of our system was difficult,” Bergeron said. “Sochi is a whole another deal, never mind the 14 days that he had, the emotions, the energy and the excitement that he had during those 14 days.”

Friday and Saturday’s games between BG and Northern Michigan will start at 7:07 p.m. on both nights.

SPORTS The Mid-American Conference Swimming Championships started Thursday, and will continue throughout Saturday.

The day started with preliminaries in the 50 and 500 freestyle, as well as the 200 individual medley and ended with championships and consolations.

In the 100 freestyle, freshman Victoria Griffin has the fastest time in the MAC with 49.87 seconds, also setting that as the new school record. She also sits in the top 10 in the 50 freestyle and the 200 freestyle.

In five different relays, the Falcons landed spots in the top five, including second in both the 200 and 400 freestyle relay.

Joelle Scheps is in the top 10 in the MAC for the 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 200 IM. She remains undefeated in the 200 IM in dual meets.

To add to the lineup, Daniela Carrillo holds the third fastest time in the MAC in the 200 breaststroke and swam the fifth fastest time in the 100 breaststroke. Last year, she represented the Falcons in the NCAA Championships in these two events.

This year’s NCAA Championships will begin on March 20 in Minnesota.
