Delta Sigma Theta was the first AfricanAmerican sorority to be established on the University’s campus.

In addition to planning meaningful events on campus, Delta Sigma Theta has been dedicated to sisterhood, scholarship, and service on campus, said Delta Sigma Theta treasurer Sydney Howell.

Enrollment open for specialized education majors

By Kelly Savela Reporter

The College of Education and Human Development has officially opened enrollment for a specialization in Family and Consumer Sciences Education for education majors.

Workforce Education and Development now has two specializations which students can choose from: Business and Marketing Education and Family and Consumer Sciences Education. The new FCSE specialization focuses primarily around the family and careers related to the family setting, including life planning, financial literacy, food nutrition and apparel merchandising.

Those who obtain this degree will be able to instruct grades 4 through 12 on a variety of life skills. The classes students will instruct will typically fall under elective courses in middle and high school settings, but students will also have the skills to work in a career services setting.

“This opportunity both leads students to a teaching license in Ohio and the ability to teach subjects under that field,” said Program Area Coordinator for Workforce Education and Development Robert Berns.

Roughly 19 years ago, this specialization was offered at the University, yet was removed due to low enrollment. Now there is a large demand for teachers in this department and the majority of the necessary courses are already offered through Human Development.

“This provides students with an opportunity to get a major where there’s a large demand,”

City Municipal Administrator steps back after 33 years with city

By Kathryne Rubright City Editor

After 33 years working for the city of Bowling Green, Municipal Administrator John Fawcett is preparing to step back.

He announced his retirement at City Council’s March 2 meeting.

“We’ll all be very happy for you on a personal level, because Lord knows you’ve dedicated many years of service to the city, and the city has benefitted in many different ways,” Council President Michael Aspacher said after Fawcett’s announcement.

Fawcett didn’t originally plan on a life and a career in Bowling Green. When he arrived here, he thought he’d go back to a previous military post in Colorado after a

few years.

“What I found, however, was Bowling Green provided an environment that was outstanding for raising a family. The people are friendly, they’re open, they made me feel welcome. And so that expectation of being here for two years has turned into 35 years,” Fawcett said. “That’s the hold that I think a lot of people experience when they come to BG.” In his time as personnel director, assistant municipal administrator and municipal administrator, Fawcett has seen the city undergo changes that have likely increased that hold.

New student organization, helps students through difficult times

BLOTTER WED., MARCH 25, 2015

9:30 P.M.

Last semester a new orga n i zat ion ca l led Kairos was formed at the University.

“Kairos the word stands for Seize the Moment,” said Jamie Kertes, Kairos treasurer.

Overall it is an organization based around God and what he has planned for each person in their life.

“Kairos is a Bible study, but at its core it is a life class with a foundation in Christ. The principles taught in the study not only help us to understand our own personal relationship with Christ but equip us with how to live out each day with the fullness God intended for us

all,“ said Monica Wright, a Kairos leader and the lead coordinator.

Every other Tuesday evening members meet together to speak about a particular topic and openly discuss their thoughts and beliefs about God. The main goal of this organization is to understand what God has planned for them and being able to follow that plan.

“We had just finished the topic of life transitions and listening to the signs and following what God has put in front of us,” said Kertes.

The organization meets with Pastor Tony to learn even more about God and to open up to him about any issues they are seeking guidance for.

“He understands that everyone makes mistakes, and he is excited to talk with us and help us become closer with God,” said Haley Schrock, a member of Kairos.

Being in this group helps members gain a new insight about Christ and what he has to offer each individual.

“I have learned to think about things from a different viewpoint. Personally, I am able to look at life as a series of shifts and processes now, and the choices I make will ultimately represent who I am as I person,” said Schrock.

Every member learns more each week by asking not only themselves questions about their life, but also by asking others.

“It was a major improvement, I think, from all standpoints, from what we used to have,” Fawcett said. “There’s a sizable change in our community compared to what it was 18 years ago.”

Fawcett has been the municipal administrator for 18 years, after two and a half years as the assistant municipal administrator and 12 years as the personnel director.

While he’s seen mayors and other city employees come and go during that time, the “organizational setting” has remained the same.

“You’ve got a sense of a working relationship that’s very positive among the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branches of government,” Fawcett said. “That’s not something that you see often

in other communities.”

Mayors have always appointed people to boards and commissions based on merit, Fawcett said, and never on their political party or who they know.

It was the same with the appointment of Fawcett’s replacement, current assistant municipal administrator Lori Tretter.

Over the past 18 years, Tretter has learned the duties of the municipal administrator and taken on more responsibilities, including making decisions about the city budget.

“She’s done outstanding in every task that has ever been assigned to her,” Fawcett said. “She has every skill necessary to be a successful city administrator. So when the mayor identified her as my replacement I was extremely pleased.”

Tretter credits Fawcett with training her to complete the tasks of her next job.

“John’s been truly a great mentor to me,” Tretter said.

Tretter will take over on July 1. After that, Fawcett plans to spend more time with his grandchildren and spend more time on his hobby of cycling.

“I carry two phones, and I’ll be thrilled to be able to lay one aside and say, ‘Okay, that’s the city’s, I no longer have to worry about answering that phone.’ And then on the existing phone it’ll be nice not having a calendar that I have to live by. I’ve had a very structured life.”

Though he’ll lay aside the city phone, Fawcett will stay involved. He will continue his Kiwanis membership, and would be open to serving on a board or commission.

“I’ll be a citizen who will enjoy this community,” Fawcett said. “I’ll be a citizen who might be actively expressing my opinions to the mayor or my elected officials, but I’m definitely not going to be one that will try to manage the city from my family room.”

If they accomplish them they are rewarded with tokens.

You can also earn additional tokens by logging your exercise minutes for the week.

Some of the particular activities that were assigned week to week throughout this challenge were to consume five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, do some type of stress relaxation, take laps around the Eppler South Gym Track.

“By focusing on just a few activities each week, participants are able to make healthy lifestyle changes without being overwhelmed by them,” said Amanda Long, a team captain.

The more tokens a participant or team earns the more prizes they can win.

“Some smaller prizes include workout gear and equipment and healthy eating giveaways such as lunch boxes & salad shakers. Some larger

prizes include massages, free healthy catered lunch for you and your colleagues, and free personal training packages and Group Exercise passes to the Student Recreation Center,” said Smith.

The Lucky 7 Wellness Challenge has the opportunity for being very beneficial for all those who are involved in it. It brings the participants together and helps them meet new people while participating in the weekly activities.

“With seven challenges each week, there was something for everyone. I am part of a team of five ladies, all with varying backgrounds. Every single member of my team has improved her lifestyle over the past 7 weeks,” said Long.

Each week participants have been pushing themselves more and more to maintain a healthier lifestyle and stay active.

Electric guitar celebrated at conference through panels, performances

By Annie Furia Pulse Editor

Speakers from India, Finland, France, England, Canada and the United States will be in Bowling Green today and tomorrow to attend the Electric Guitar in Popular Culture Conference, hosted by the department of popular culture.

One speaker is Kimi Karki, a folk player from Finland. Karki will be part of a panel at the conference titled “The Instrumentality of the Electric Guitar.”

In addition to speaking, Karki will also be performing Saturday night at Grounds for Thought.

Despite the global diversity of the speakers and performers, most are current or former Ohio residents.

Matthew Donahue, a lecturer in the department and an organizer for the event, said this was intentional.

“Too often Los Angeles and New York get all the attention,” he said. “We want to focus in on the contributions of Ohio.”

The list of performers includes Chuck Stohl, who plays hard rock/heavy metal; Chris Buzzelli, a jazz performer; and Donahue’s band MAD 45, which plays surf/punk music.

Blues guitar player Kelly Richey will perform on Saturday in the Union theater.

Donahue described Richey as “one of the top blues guitar players in the country.”

Richey said the conference sounded “right up my alley” because “electric guitar has been my life and performing has been my life.”

Another performer is Skip McDonald, a blues guitarist who also goes by the name Little Axe.

Detroit band records vinyl album at Grounds for Thought Coffee shop label Gotta Groove Records to produce set for The Infatuations

By Michele Mathis Copy Chief

A band hailing from Detroit, Michigan, visited Bowling Green this past weekend, playing two live shows at the local coffee shop Grounds for Thought.

They are The Infatuations, a rock band that combines acoustic, punk, soul and Motown sounds into their music. According to their official band website, their newest album “Detroit Block Party” is like their live performances, “diverse, fun, soulful, gritty and always positive.”

The band members include guitarist Christian Draheim, a bass guitarist nicknamed “Wolf,” guitarist Nick Behnan, drummer Robert Meyers and new lead vocalist Kendrick

Hardaway. For this performance, backup vocalist Liz Girard, a singer/song-writer from Detroit who is a part of a Detroit-based band called Shotgun Soul, joined them.

The Infatuations had played at Black Swamp Arts Festival in 2013, where they headlined on the main stage and also performed at Grounds for Thought.

Community member T.J. Sterns was confused about the new lead vocalist.

“I was disappointed to see that they had switched the front singer out. I was nervous,” Sterns said. “But after hearing [Kendrick] sing … Oh, he’s got some pipes.”

With upbeat power songs like “Dancin’ On My Knees” to sweet love songs like “Back Again,” The Infatuations kept the community of Bowling Green mov-

ing and sent an electric shock through the crowd.

“They felt comfortable here,” Kelly Wicks, owner of Grounds for Thought, said about the members of the band. “They spent the day here [in town], we walked around campus, ate lunch at The Oaks and got ready for the shows,” he said.

Wicks also spoke to the kind of crowd that gathered during the weekend.

“They feed off this great energy that we have here,” he said.

Other than providing entertainment for the community, The Infatuations were also here to take on a new project: to record a vinyl set under the Grounds for Thought label.

“We have our own equipment here. They’ve done every set of

Media Review: “Bloodline” Netflix original drama brings strong actors together, builds suspense for viewers

By Jennifer Verzuh Pulse Reporter

2015 is already shaping up to be a very promising year for Netflix’s original programming. Tina Fey’s newest comedy juggernaut “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” which had its first season released earlier this month, is hilarious with endlessly quotable one-liners and has found a breakout star in Tituss Burgess. Meanwhile, the streaming service’s acclaimed political drama “House of Cards” recently dropped a solid third season to positive reviews.

However, Netflix’s biggest accomplishment of the year so far is its neo-noir family drama “Bloodline.” The show is a deeply intriguing drama for adults that never talks down to you. An examination of familial ties and secrets, this series keeps you readily engaged with twists and reveals that will leave you blindsided and

eager for the next episode.

From the creators of “Damages,” “Bloodline” focuses on a respectable Florida Keys family and their hidden past and wounds. Academy Award winner Sissy Spacek and Sam Shephard star as the heads of the Rayburn family and owners of a beachside resort. In the season premiere, the two are celebrating the 45th anniversary of the hotel, with their adult children. There’s the golden son, detective and our occasional narrator John [Kyle Chandler], his hot headed younger brother Kevin [Broadway veteran Norbert Leo Butz], and their sister Meg [Linda Cardellini], a lawyer who strives to keep the peace in the family. Black sheep eldest son Danny [Ben Mendelsohn] returns as well, setting in motion an irreparable chain of events that will drive the action. Like the first season of “Damages” [or more recently

PATRICIA HOLT is the co-captain of the women’s golf team. While most athletes struggle with scheduling Holt has found a way to balance her schedule.

Student athlete finds balance, completes internships

By Meg Kraft Reporter

Attending classes, completing homework, and studying for exams can transform a regular week into a stressful schedule.

Internships, jobs, on-campus organizations and maintaining a social life are added factors that students must balance throughout their college experience.

Students may spend their after-class free time napping, grabbing a beer or binge watching Netflix, but for student-athletes, the balancing act leaves little time for relaxation.

Some student-athletes may be so involved in school and sports that their schedules do not allow any time for part time jobs or on-campus activities.

Time and effort that isn’t put into schoolwork is fused into athletics, but the lack of experience in jobs shouldn’t limit

them, said advisor Kerry Jones.

“In my opinion, students are still getting the transferable skills they need – it’s just in a different way,” she said.

Student-athletes can participate in camps and conferences as well as being a part of a diverse organization.

“If you ask a lot of employers, they’re looking for people with leadership, and time-management skills. Student-athletes have gained those skills from their programs,” she said.

One athlete who has gained the skills Jones described is Patricia Holt, co-captain for the University’s women’s golf team.

“A normal day consists of waking up and working out for an hour, practicing for an hour, eating lunch and showering, volunteering for an hour, attend class for 3 hours, come home and eat dinner – by that time it’s 8 p.m.,” she said.

Jones said being a success-

ful student-athlete is possible; it is all about strategic planning and assessing priorities.

Holt has mastered that ability to participate in golf and complete her degree requirements.

Holt who has completed a BG Athletics practicum, a journalism internship, sports management internship and now volunteers with internal affairs for the University’s athletic department, said that making time for it all is difficult with her irregular practices.

“It is definitely busy and hard at times, but my coach has been really good, especially this semester, with giving us check sheet practices that we can complete on our time,” she said.

Holt advises fellow busy student-athletes to figure out their priorities and schedule around them.

Committee, agrees with her, saying, “Give yourself a time limit then work as efficiently as possible to get it done … I think it’s really important to get into as much [of] a routine as possible and allow yourself some free time to spend with your friends.”

One thing the student-athletes don’t have to worry about is scheduling as they have priority scheduling. This allows them to work around practice times and travel schedules.

“Many athletes are practicing at least 20 hours a week and take at least between 13 and 17 credit hours. Some athletes take internships during the summer when their schedule opens up, and if not they at least hold a summer job,” she said.

“Use your sport as a getaway from the crazy outside world – focus all your energy on that as well,” Young said when asked what advice she would give student-athletes.

FAMILY From Page 1 Berns said.

Students will take courses offered within Human Development, as well as their standard education courses. When these students enter methods and student teaching, they will be placed in a school with a FCSE teacher.

athletic director for academics and student services said that the event is pretty important.

“It’s all about fit,” Hesson said. “Where a student fits best. That’s part of my role in recruitment, helping the athletes with career development, having one-onones with them and building essential relationships.

Basically telling them why BG is the best place on Earth.”

St udent At h lete Networking Night began in 2010 and had the biggest turnout of student-athletes this year.

Hesson says the purpose of the networking night is to connect potential employers with studentathletes and their interests.

“We want to connect athletes with employers who match their interests, like sales and marketing,” Hesson said. “Employees are usually interested in athletes because of their determination, drive, ability to overcome obstacles and adversity.”

Marissa Tashenberg, grad assistant for student athlete services, says that they wanted the event to be a casual, welcoming environment where athletes could discover their niche.

“We wanted to be welcoming, so we had a panel of judges answering questions about what sticks out on a resume, how to nail the job, and other job related things,” Tashenberg said. “We strived for it to be organic, a place where the students could figure out what they want to do next.”

ers,” said Kelsey Marlow, a senior in the College of Education and Human Development.

By including this specialization under the Work force Education and Development major, the University brought two areas that are similar together. The classes taught as a result from FCSE and Business and Marketing Education specialization are typically elective courses in school systems.

The development of this specialization began three years ago when an advi-

sory committee helped develop the program and emphasized a need for this type of specialization. The program received approval about a month ago from the Ohio Board of Regions and became available in the most recent course catalog. This specialization is available for enrollment to all incoming freshman and transfer students and will begin in the fall.

An outline of the program requirements and curriculum for FCSE is available on the College of Education and Human Development’s website.

and women’s golf, women’s volleyball and softball teams. They recruited students’ interests by sending out a survey to all the student-athletes at the University and contacting employers from there.

“We contacted employers who we had established a relationship with,” Tashenberg said. “We tried to get a variety of people to match students’ interests. If a student wanted say, a journalist, then we would reach out and try to grab someone in that field.

Some of the recruiters that are here are former Falcons and student athletes.”

Dash Yost, former University baseball player, said that coming back to show students athletes about careers is important.

“It’s great to give back to the University,” said Yost, also a sales marketer of Tom James Clothing in Cleveland. “I always ask students what they want out of life, and we go from there. The amazing things Chris Kingston is implementing with the students athletes and making winning a culture here is mind blowing.”

Carmen Young, president of SAAC said that networking for student athletes is important for their future.

“I always tell the student-athletes that life after sports is very different,” said Young. “Sports teaches you valuable skills to put on your resume and get through life, but academics and marketable skills are more important in the real world.”

SeaWorld should own up to its maltreatment of We must get to the core of racism in order to animals, create educational environment instead fight it, current methods of confrontation futile To say I’m disgustingly impressed with SeaWorld’s efforts to debunk all the things being said and done about them since the release of “Blackfish” is an understatement.

Because I’m not impressed.

Just disgusted.

Earlier this week, former SeaWorld trainer John Hargrove released his novel, “Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld and the Truth Beyond Blackfish.”

He started working with SeaWorld San Antonio in 1993 and left the industry for the first time in 2001.

In 2003, he worked in France with the animal exhibition park Marinel before returning to SeaWorld San Antonio in 2008, until he left the industry for the final time in 2012.

A week after leaving SeaWorld for the last time, Hargrove was interviewed for “Blackfish,” a 2013 documentary about SeaWorld’s mistreatment to their orca whales.

The release of Hargrove’s book comes almost two weeks after Ringling Bros.

Barnum and Bailey Circus announced that they will be eliminating their elephant act and sending the elephants to a conservation in Florida by the year 2018.

But don’t let this new information about the circus empire fool you.

In the 90s, they suffered business declination when someone tipped to PETA that they mistreated two of their elephants.

ERIKA HECK COLUMNIST

After a 14-year legal case, animal rights groups had to pay Feld Entertainment [the company that owns Ringling Bros.] a $16 million settlement for not being able to prove the mistreatment happened.

And yet, even though Feld Entertainment fought to keep their elephants, I honestly think the decision to let them go was in part because of all the negative attention building against SeaWorld.

I think Ringling Bros. took a step back, saw SeaWorld’s numbers after the release of “Blackfish” and decided to bow out of using their elephants before the same thing could happen with their business.

Which is what I think SeaWorld should have done in the first place after the release of “Blackfish” and I think this is exactly what they should do now, with the release of John Hargrove’s novel.

At this point, I believe SeaWorld is fighting an unwinnable battle.

In the last two years, SeaWorld’s attendance numbers and share prices have dropped and, despite their declining numbers, they’ve launched new advertising campaigns about their animals and their care for them.

But I don’t think their truth

campaigns are going to be enough to save them, especially with John Hargrove’s novel only being a few days old.

They have been refuting every allegation that has been thrown at them, but it is only going to hurt them more when more people start talking and more truth about their orca treatment starts coming to light.

More people are starting to open their eyes to how inhumane it is to use animals as entertainment and more people are starting to realize that these shows, where these wild animals are being exploited, aren’t fun to watch anymore—they’re uncomfortable and sad.

Animal shows are definitely becoming a thing of the past and I think it’s time to look to the future.

SeaWorld needs to give up trying to fight to keep their shows and turn these negative allegations into something positive.

They should eliminate the shows, rehabilitate the orcas while educating the public on them and the negative effects of living in captivity.

And then let them loose.

Once SeaWorld starts owning up to their mistakes and starts correcting them, they will not only improve the state of orcas in the wild, but they will also improve the current state of their corporation.

It has been two weeks since the University of Oklahoma expelled two students for leading a racist song that sparked outrage across the country.

Members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter down in Norman, Oklahoma were shown in two videos chanting a song whose lyrics included racial slurs, boasting that there would never be an African-American member.

The song also referred to lynching, with the words, “You can hang ’em from a tree.” The videos were recorded as fraternity members and their dates rode a bus to a formal event.

The video quickly gained visibility online and ultimately forced Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s national headquarters to close its chapter at OU. Although I respect and appreciate the university’s and the national SAE organization’s swift response to the “racial injustice,” our society routinely finds ourselves back at square one when it comes to confronting racism.

A racial conflict emerges, there’s a public demand for accountability and justice, followed by swift actions and apologies from the accused to quell the situation. The cycle repeats itself.

But what does this solve?

Personally, it feels like an insult to my intelligence when I have to participate in class discussions and listen to lectures about racial tolerance.

TERRANCE DAVIS GUEST COLUMNIST

It’s difficult to digest the suggested progress our society has made in regards to tolerance when situations like this prove otherwise.

I’ll admit that hypermasculine black males and hypersexual black females appear in media, popular culture and social performance as the dominant image of black men and women in the United States.

However, the failure to address the interpersonal and communal impact of these complex misconfigurations of black culture has made it increasingly difficult for us to detach those stereotypes from our race.

As a college-educated African American male, I always feel like I’m climbing an uphill battle in a society that clutches to preconceived notions about my race.

The color of my skin should have nothing to do with who I am as a person, but it seems I have to go to extreme measures to prove otherwise.

I know what it feels like to be racially profiled.

I know how it feels to be yanked from the seat of my vehicle, forced to lay facedown on the cold, black asphalt while being told repeatedly not to move just because I fit the description

of a robbery suspect.

I know what it feels like to walk down the street and witness people of other racial groups cross, fearing that I might bring them harm, when all I’m doing is minding my business.

For some of you, that might be hard to fathom, but unfortunately our society condones this behavior.

People all over the world, like the members of SAE in the video, harbor deepseated prejudices and spew racial epithets behind closed doors because they think no one’s watching. We can punish them, but that won’t change anything.

We are so quick to point fingers when the subject of racism is breached, but afraid to confront the issue at its core.

It’s an uncomfortable topic, but what better way to hash out these issues than through peer-to-peer discourse? We need to cross those racial boundaries and collaborate in order to acquire the knowledge to combat racism.

Change is scary, but it is necessary. The subject of racism will remain the “elephant in the room” until we, as a society, decide to strip down the walls of comfort and confront it. Together.

Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power.

With knowledge, change can finally occur.

Track and Field team prepares for the outdoor season, looks ahead to MAC Championships

By Aaron Parker Assistant Sports Editor

The Bowling Green track and field team will start its outdoor season this weekend with high hopes for the spring.

“We are excited to get the outdoor season started at one of the best meets in the nation this weekend. Our goals for the season are high,” head coach Lou Snelling said. “At the end, we would like to achieve at a level that has not happened at Bowling Green for more than 15 years. This weekend is our opportunity to take a step towards doing that in a great environment against some of the best in the country.”

The opening meet of competition is the Raleigh Relays in North Carolina and will be the third year in a row the Falcons have begun their season at the event. It is one of the biggest meets that they will compete in this year.

The team scored 60 points at last year’s Mid-American Conference Outdoor Championship, which was the most since 1999, and will look to go even further this season.

One of the strongest sections overall for the team will be throws, specifically the hammer. Sophomore Kori Reiser and senior Brooke Pleger both qualified for the NCAA Regional Preliminary Round last year and will look to do the same this year.

Sophomore Makenzie Wheat also qualified for the meet, but in the shot put.

Jose Narro adjusts to life as a student-athlete Falcons look to end 11 game losing streak

By Terrance Davis Reporter

The life of the student-athlete is often misunderstood. Students sometimes look at their athletic classmates and conclude they have a privileged lifestyle. They assume athletes are only in college in hopes to pursue their athletic career, so they do not focus on their grades. They could not be more wrong.

Take Jose Narro, for example. The sophomore, from Tampico, Mexico, has been one of the bright spots on Bowling Green’s golf team. He routinely finishes ranked in the top-25 in his golf events and was named MAC Men’s Golfer of the Week this past September.

Narro works tirelessly to master all the fundamentals of his golf game, a sport that requires dedication, intellect and mental stability.

“Golf is all about your mental and you can really screw yourself up if you don’t come with a positive approach,” Narro said. “Positivity is crucial because a bad frame of mind can quickly impact the precision and accuracy of your shot. Keep your

Tied for the fifthlowest 18-hole score in BGSU history. stress levels low and be optimistic.”

Narro encounters stress daily.

However, he does not let that interfere with his responsibilities on and off the course. As a supply chain management major, he successfully balances a rigorous academic schedule, daily three-to-four hour practices, a social life and a year-round golf schedule that includes heavy traveling.

Narro said he applies the same approach to his schoolwork as he does to golf because he understands its importance.

“Professors have never shown me favoritism. If the assignment is late, it’s late so you have to stay on top of your work,” Narro said. “I always do my assignments as soon as I get them. We know our schedules so it’s really on us to stay on top of our grades.”

Narro was open with his opin-

ion about the misunderstood student-athlete.

“I think people just make opinions about things like that, its human nature,” he said, “I have worked very hard to get the chance to play sports in college and I know I have to do my part as a student to make sure I keep that chance. Some nights I want to go out with my friends, but I can’t because I have homework to do. I choose to put school first.”

Narro also has the challenge of being an international student. He does not get to go home to see his parents and siblings as often as he wants, but he understands that this was an opportunity for him do something he loved while getting a great education.

“I miss going home a lot because of the weather and my family, but they’ve been really supportive. We are a really close family so we talk all the time. My coaches and teammates took me under their wing and made me feel welcome here so you can say I’m happy,” he said.

Narro’s game has flourished for the Falcons.

SKIP MCDONALD, also known as Little Axe, will preform during the Electric Guitar in Popular Culture Conference.

GUITAR From Page 3 McDonald said the guitar is important because it is most likely the most popular instrument in the world. The reason for the electric guitar’s popularity is its availability.

“You can take it anywhere, you can entertain anyone,” McDonald said. “You get a big sound for a little bit of money.”

“It’s progression. It’s about making it more available and more conducive for more people to get involved,” he said.

Donahue said the electric guitar has a long history with popular music.

“The electric guitar has been so key and crucial to so many different musical styles and has made an impact really heavily into popular music,” he said.

Richey said the electric guitar is a very symbolic instrument within popular culture.

“It’s like a battle axe,” she

said. “It’s very empowering.”

Richey said one of the ways the electric guitar has been empowering is its relationship to culture.

The electric guitar has “a storyline that goes along with the change and conflict and evolution of the 60s,” she said.

Donahue said the electric guitar came out of jazz and big band music in the 1930s, where guitar players struggled to be heard over the other instruments.

“By the late 1940s, early 1950s, what you have is a situation where ... the electric guitar really starts to dominate popular music and really that’s been going on since,” he said.

Blues players who needed to be heard in loud clubs and bars also contributed to the rise of the electric guitar, Donahue said, and from there the electric guitar entered other music genres.

“Everything from rhythm and blues and rock and

roll of the late 40s-1950s to the present, the electric guitar has been there,” Donahue said.

Due to this diversity of musical styles affected by the electric guitar, Donahue said the organizers chose performers who would reflect this diversity in their genres.

A complete list of performance locations and times can be found online at http://www.bgsu.edu/egpc.

Donahue said he hopes attendees of the conference will gain “an appreciation for the electric guitar, popular music, popular culture … hopefully inspiration from the many presentations and performances.”

McDonald said he wanted attendees to look beyond the intellectual at the conference.

“It ain’t all about knowledge and wisdom, it’s about spirit and feeling as well,” he said. “You have to expand your expectations.”

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU

REVIEW From Page 3 Showtime’s “The Affair”] the series features brief flashforward scenes which reveal bloody consequences.

The cast is superb. There isn’t a weak performance to be found among the ensemble, with each actor and actress creating a complex character with secrets and scars to spare. Chandler, of “Friday Night Lights” fame, is billed as the show’s lead, but the real star is relatively unknown Mendelsohn who plays the shady eldest sibling. He gives the character surprising depth and has incredible chemistry in his scenes with everyone, particularly Spacek and Chandler.

You never know whether to trust Danny or not and that’s due almost entirely to Mendelsohn’s performance, one that he’ll hopefully see an Emmy nomination for.

I have to give a disclaimer, though, that while the show is extremely worthwhile it is fairly slow. There are times when it feels like the action has almost stopped completely, but that only serves to increase the suspense and make the viewer more antsy for something important to happen. But while certainly a slow burn, the payoff is certainly worth sticking it out.

Falcons continue MAC play Baseball team looks to end losing streak

By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor

Getting swept in the opening Mid-American Conference series, the Bowling Green baseball team brings an eightgame losing streak into the second conference weekend.

Northern Illinois comes into the series with just an 11-12 overall record, but took two out of three over Buffalo in its first MAC series. BG is 5-14 overall and remains winless in the conference.

With the poor start to the conference season, the Falcons understand that this weekend will help define their season going forward.

“This upcoming weekend is crucial. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us, but we have to pick it up in all phases and get on a roll,” said head coach Danny Schmitz. “Over onethird of the season is already behind us, so we need to get going and find a way to turn it around.”

However, the Falcons have some positives to build on going into the weekend.

BG has three players hitting at or over .300 in Greg Basalyga [.339], Trey Keegan [.333] and Randy Righter [.300]. Between the trio, they have combined for 15 doubles, five homeruns

and 40 RBIs. This includes the toptwo on the team in each of the three categories while Keegan also leads the team in runs scored.

BG has had its fair share of struggles as well.

The Falcons have committed 30 errors as a team including a handful of errors during their opening series in the MAC. This hindered them in an array of close games.

They have struggled on the mound as well, throughout nearly the entire staff.

Just one pitcher, Tony Landi, has an ERA below 4.00. This does not include any of the starting pitchers, with the best ERA being a 5.53 from Friday starter, Andrew Lacinak.

Closer Trevor Blaylock holds an ERA of 7.54, remaining winless.

Eight of the 12 pitchers for the Falcons carry a ‘batting average against’ over .300 with Lacinak on the cusp at .299.

These team struggles throughout the entire roster have hindered the Falcons’ chance to edge out close games and get the team out of its early season losing skid.

However, BG faces an under.500 team this weekend and has a chance to right the ship as it approaches mid-season.

BRAIDEN DILLOW winds up in the circle for a pitch against Detroit.

Softball team looks to pick up offense against Toledo

By Aaron Parker Assistant Sports Editor

The Bowling Green softball team is gearing up to begin its Mid-American Conference portion of its schedule with two games against conference rival Toledo.

The team is currently 7-13, but is staying optimistic with a long season still ahead.

“We are extremely fired up to start the MAC season. Opening weekend of the MAC is always an exciting time but to open with Toledo makes the weekend that much bigger,” head coach Shannon Salsburg said. “The team has had a solid week of preparation and we are ready to start our bid for a MAC title.”

The preseason coaches’ poll that was released Tuesday chose the Falcons to finish sixth in the MAC this year.

NARRO From Page 6 In the 2014 fall season, he played in all six events for Bowling Green and posted a stroke average of 73.17 over 18 rounds of play, a team low.

He carded a career-low round of 66 at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational and at the Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic, tied for fifth-lowest individual 18-hole score in BGSU history since 1972-73.

He also represented his home country in the Latin American Amateur Championship in Buenos

Toledo will come into the game 12-16 so far this season and won its last outing against Liberty. The games will be Toledo’s home opener for this year.

The Rockets offense is hitting .283 percent so far and has an earned run average of 5.03. Celeste Fidge has been the leader for the team, batting .439 to go with 36 hits out of 82 at bats.

For the Falcons, despite their record their offense has improved a lot since last year. The team has scored 34 first inning runs so far this season, including one 10 run first inning early in the season against Caniscus.

Sophomore Aspen Searle has been having a good season, leading the team in slugging percentage, on base percentage, RBIs, runs, doubles and homers. She has 17 runs in total along with 13 RBIs off of 63 at bats and 21 hits.

Stealing is something that the team has worked on under Salsburg this sea-

Aires, Argentina, this past January.

“I was really proud I got selected to represent my country, it was a big honor,” he said.

Narro wants to pursue a pro career in golf. However, he’s aware he will have an education that could pave the way for other business endeavors.

“I’ve always wanted to grow pro but I’m not counting on that being my only career.

I like business for some reason. I might get my master’s one day, I don’t know. I’m young, I’ve got time to figure that out.”

son with 22 so far this year. Searle, Marina Cobbs, and Molly Holliday combine for 19 of them. Cobbs is perfect in the category at 7-7 so far.

Junior Braiden Dillow, who was named MAC pitcher of the week earlier this year, has an earned run average of 3.86 and is 3-6 in the win-loss category so far. Senior Jamie Kertes has an earned run average of 4.67 and is 3-4 on the year.

The major problem that the Falcons will look to fix in this next series is sending runners home. The Falcons have 134 hits as a team this season and just 68 RBIs compared to their opponents 88. After the first inning, the team seems to slow down.

“We need to continue to work on pushing runs across the board the entire game,” Salsburg said.

Game one of the series will start at 2 p.m. in Toledo.

TRACK From Page 6 For Wheat, she will look to capitalize on the momentum she had in the indoor season after breaking the school record.

Pleger, one of the best hammer throwers in the country, placed third last year at the NCAA National Championship. That was the best by any Falcon ever in the program.

She is now one of the best collegiate athletes to ever compete in the event, sitting at the 10 spot on the all-time list.

Nationally, she is currently ranked at 10 among all athletes in the country regardless of age. She is the only one in that top ten that is still competing in college.

In addition to those three

throwers, the Falcons return Andrea Alt, Alicia Arnold, Tiera Parker, Natalie Sommerville and Kayla Velasquez. All of them scored in the MAC championship last year and combined with the throwers, they scored 32 of last year’s 60 points at the meet.

Arnold competed in five events at the MAC Outdoor Championship last year with the long jump, 100 and 200 sprints and the 400 and 1600 relays. She placed fourth in the long jump and just missed qualifying for the 100 final.

The Falcons begin in North Carolina at 9 a.m. on Friday.

“They just keep getting better, across the board,” Snelling said. “For this meet, we want to look at personal bests and see how many we get.

Automatic qualifying marks as well, that will be the judge of how well we open but we feel pretty good.”

DailyCrossword Crossword Fix Fix Daily Ad Council video gets mixed The The reviews by University students

By Amber Hage-Ali Reporter

x-ray screen hugging, kissing and showing affection. All that the audience can see displayed on the screen are two skeletons embracing.

As each couple steps out from behind the screen for the reveal the words “love has no race, “love has no gender,” “love has no religion,” “love has no age” and “love has no disability” are displayed.

The audience cannot see any physical characteristics of the people behind the x-ray screen. All that they can see are two skeletons performing these affections which cripples them from making bias judgements.

Benja m in Scha l ler, senior at the University enjoyed the video, but does not think a video is powerful enough to change the minds of stubborn people.

“It has a very good message. I think if it only changed a few peoples’ mind sets on love that it would be beneficial to society,” said Schaller. “However, I think that most people who are bigots will remain unchanged in their beliefs unfortunately.”

The Ad Council launched “Love Has No Labels”

A video that challenges peoples’ implicit bias toward love has been going viral on the web.

Implicit bias refers to the way people unconsciously and sometimes unintentionally react detrimentally toward other individuals and groups.

“Love Has No Labels” is a video campaign done by the Ad Council that educates and asks people to challenge these implicit biases.

Leslie Potts, president of the National Council of Negro Women at BGSU, finds the campaign inspiring but problematic.

“Love is powerful, and has the ability to be unifying,” said Potts. “Love does not take away from the very real prejudices, injustices, and systematic oppression that groups face. A lot of the things that divide us are institutionalized. Simply hugging and shaking hands with someone who is different from you does not change the institution that marginalizes them.”

The four minute video features a variety of unique individuals behind a long

“I think if it only changed a few peoples’ mind set on love that it would be beneficial to society. However I think that most people who are bigots will remain unchanged” Benjamin Schaller | Senior in February in efforts to further the understanding and acceptance of all communities regardless of race, gender and religion.

Although the video may not create an effective immediate change, it does show that society is progressing in the right direction.

According to the Ad Council, one in five LGBT people report feeling there is little or no acceptance of their community; six in ten Latinos report that discrimination is a major problem; and a majority of African Americans report that they are not satisfied with the way they are treated in society.

REFLECTING ON HISTORY A

lice Stokes Paul, social reformer, lawyer, and political strategist, devoted her life to securing equality for women. She led the militant wing of the suffrage movement and, realizing that the vote did not bring women legal equality, wrote the Equal Rights Amendment, introduced to Congress in 1923. Influenced by the radical suffrage movement in England, where she was jailed, Paul returned to the U. S. to found the Congressional Union (1913) whose sole purpose was to lobby for a constitutional amendment for suffrage.

She organized the famed 1913 suffrage parade in Washington, D. C., a spectacle unequalled in suffrage history. Differences over tactics with the parent NAWSA led her to form the National Woman’s Party (1916).

She introduced picketing at the White House and non-violent confrontation as protest tactics, exhibited a flair for dramatic street theater, and ensured continuing publicity for the cause by the Party’s confrontations with President Wilson. She was arrested, imprisoned, went on a hunger strike, and was force-fed. She founded the World Woman’s Party (1938), which worked to have equal rights for women included as a tenet in the United Nations Charter.
