THE HATCH ceremony welcomed more than 2,000 students to the Stroh Center to watch nine students pitch their business ideas

Elsa Vogel, Devon Williams stand out as nine students pitch business ideas to investors

By Michele Mathis Copy Chief

The floor usually occupied by the University’s athletic teams was covered by carpet, a stage surrounded by large monitors and student entrepreneurs anxiously waiting for their turn to prove that they have the next big business idea.

Those nine student entrepreneurs are members of a program called The Hatch, funded by the University’s College of Business.

The Hatch program was founded three years ago by Dean Ray Braun and Dallas-Hamilton center founder Kirk Kern to encourage young entrepreneurs to develop budding business ideas.

In 2015, Kern reported that more than

100 students applied for the program and nine students were selected.

Applicants are named “Hatchlings.”

Selected at the beginning of the academic year, they plan, develop and research their business model until The Hatch event in April.

The 2015 Hatchlings were seniors Matthew Snider and Elsa Vogel, juniors Michael Cervantes, Haksun Lee, Devon Williams and Meredith Keller, and first years Allen Viancourt, Thomas Stevens and Mark Kohn.

While not all Hatchlings were invested in, each participant was given the opportunity to network and receive feedback from the investors who are CEOs, vice presidents and owners of various

companies and businesses.

“I think [The Hatch] is really growing, [that’s] what amazes me. The marketing and how the young people have gotten attached to the University because of it,” said President Mary Ellen Mazey.

The first Hatchling to present was Michael Cervantes.

Cervantes presented a business idea called Machi Hibachi, a food truck specializing in Hibachi food. While Cervantes came in confident about his plan and marketing strategy, the investors expressed concerns about the local nature of the truck and the stability of the food truck business. All five investors

University library ranked among UNCOVERING THE TRUTH 50 best according to online list Learning Commons key to national recognition

By Holly Shively Reporter

The University’s Jerome Library is ranked 11th on the “50 Most Amazing College Libraries” list by collegerank.net.

According to the website, the Jerome Library’s construction began in 1965 and named in 1982 after the sixth president of the University, William Travers Jerome. The library is not only a study and learning area for students and faculty but is also open to the public.

“We’re really very pleased to be listed amongst such prestigious libraries,” said Sara Bushong, library dean.

“A lot of libraries have tutor-

ing centers but not like ours,” Bushong said.

The difference is that the University Learning Commons is larger in square feet than most libraries tutoring centers. The Library also offers all aspects of tutoring for all majors, math, and writing.

The library offers other study spots as well. The seventh floor is dedicated to group study, and the eighth to quiet, individual work.

Among the collections the Jerome Library has to offer is the music library, which contains over one million sound recordings, similar in size and scope to that of the Library of Congress.

Krueger said the annual event features a variety of attendees.

“The readers and audience are very diverse. We have ethnicity and age diversity, [the audience] is a mix of college students and members of the community,” she said.

Geist read original poems about holiday clichés and a divorced taxi driver from Panama.

Geist said she is passionate about performing poetry and happily accepted the University’s invitation to the event.

“I love poetry, I have spoken before and I go to a lot of Women’s Center events. I don’t know how I fell into it, but I was delighted to speak for a third time,” she said.

The University’s Women’s Center held their fourth annual Women In Poetry event, “The World Split Open,” at Grounds for Thought Wednesday night in honor of National Poetry Month.

Finger snapping and hands clapping buzzed throughout the coffee shop as a variety of poets came together for an open mic night.

Guest speakers Larissa Szporluk and Jean Geist, oncampus organization SPEAK [Spoken Performance for Empowerment, Action and Knowledge] and members of Uppity Women’s Poetry Workshop all performed original pieces.

Mary Krueger, director of the Women’s Center, said the event was a chance for female poets to express themselves.

Local bands get chance to perform at downtown bar Doc Holliday’s

By Annie Furia Pulse Editor

When bands play Wired Wednesdays at Doc Holliday’s Saloon and Grill, they aren’t just performing, they’re auditioning.

Wired Wednesdays are a free live music night that showcases local bands, whether they are newcomers or long-timers, Doc Holliday’s front-of-house manager Jeff Mudrak said.

Bands who put on a good show may also get the chance to open for bigger regional or national acts at the Live Wire concerts at Clazel Theater.

Pat Pickering, a bartender at Doc Holliday’s and talent scout and overseer for Wired Wednesdays, said the shows are like an “incubator” for Live Wire acts.

Mudrak said he and Doc Holliday’s owner Ammar Mufleh, who also owns Clazel, came up with the idea for the Wednesday night shows before the bar even opened.

They saw the event as way to take the concept of Live Wire and make “something accessible and free to the public,” Mudrak said.

The first Wired Wednesday took place Jan. 21, the night after Doc Holliday’s opened.

Pickering said the shows were a way to promote local bands.

“We have so much talent in our backyard,” Pickering said.

Part of this promotion includes marketing.

“We’re trying to help them in terms of marketing their sound,” Pickering said.

He said Doc Holliday’s does this by recording the performances and uploading them to SoundCloud.

Though Doc Holliday’s is a county bar, bands from any genre are welcome to perform.

Wired Wednesdays has seen everything “from solo acoustic to a full-on rock cover band,” Pickering said.

Sophomore Amanda DeLong got involved with Wired Wednesdays when Doc Holliday’s came to WBGU-FM looking for student volunteers in February. She mostly works on marketing and finding new bands.

DeLong said there are four student volunteers total who help get the word out about Wired Wednesdays and the bands that play.

Wired Wednesdays is about giving smaller bands a way to make themselves visible, DeLong said.

“This is just giving more opportunities to perform in front of people,” she said.

Mudrak agreed that these opportunities were important.

“We want to give everybody an opportunity to play,” he said.

The Wired Wednesdays Facebook page has played an integral role in finding bands.

“We have a lot of people post through that and I have a lot of people come in and talk to me after the shows,” Mudrak said.

Mudrak encouraged bands interested in playing Wednesdays to contact Doc Holliday’s through the Facebook page.

Wired Wednesdays are every Wednesday from 8:30-11:30 p.m.

Pickering said this may change to an earlier time with warmer weather so attendees can use the bar’s patio.

Media Review: “Ludaversal”

Columnist finds new album by Ludacris to be full of bad values, unwholesome lyrics

By William Channell Managing Editor

Boy, Ludacris sure is crazy.

It’s in his name, after all.

Ludachristopher Bridges certainly flaunts his insanity on his ninth [really?] album “Ludaversal.”

Right from the album’s intro sequence, where Bridges really thinks outside the box by checking his mic [1, 2], his drug-addled lunacy is apparent.

Right in the first song, he provides a tidy little list of all the things he’s getting.

“Getting paid, getting laid, getting clothes, getting hoes...”

Now, by looking at that lyric, you may think the next part will be something like “one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish ...,” but it is not.

Why, it’s what Dr. Seuss would have been like if he was a G. Parents and those with brains in your heads enough to not ingest weed, hear me! These rapping men are turning to rhyme schemes familiar to our youth.

The song “Get Lit” is similarly concerning.

“Poppin’ a pill and then jump in the tub.”

“Why, it’s what Dr. Seuss would have been like if he was a G.” Well golly, call me old-fashioned, but if that’s your idea of a good time, Luda, then count me out. That also just sounds like nonsense.

I just don’t understand why rappers can’t rap-speak about good, conservative values and respect of authority. I mean, I don’t really keep up with the news, but is there some sort of recent influx in authority taking advantage of some sort of impoverished plight the black community has been experiencing for centuries?

Because unless I missed something like that, there’s no excuse.

I’ve tried twice to return this album, but I can’t figure that function out on iTunes. They’ve also

Student Recreation Center offers women-only exercise class

By Kelly Savela Reporter

A women-only exercise class offered by the Student Recreation Center provides women a way to train without feeling intimidated by men.

Women on Weights is a progressive course offered by the SRC to allow training specifically for women.

The class is a six-week program that is held biweekly. Each Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the class is instructed by Kate Tribble and increases intensity with each class.

This class was created with the belief that women sometimes feel intimidated by men while working out, and the SRC sought to find an accommodating solution to this issue. While this course is offered to students, the faculty and staff of the University primarily take it.

While the enrollment of this class is successful, there are no current plans to expand on developing more women-only exercise

classes.

“Our group fitness pass is primarily women, and that offers a vigorous exercise that a lot of women happen to be looking for,” said Kali Morgenstern, fitness graduate assistant.

The class typically runs through four different exercises, 50 seconds on and 10 seconds off. Each circuit runs three times through, taking about 12 minutes to complete. On Thursdays the class is hosted in the TRX room and incorporates those exercises into the workout.

“I like to do two cardio and two strength exercises, and I start with the bigger muscles groups,” said Tribble.

Aside from focusing on the larger muscles, the class targets individual muscle groups such as triceps, abs and shoulders. At the end of the workout, roughly 15 minutes of abs is incorporated to the class.

When teaching the class, Tribble introduces a specific exercise and then progressively adds on to that particularly exercise.

“It’s focused more exclusively that are geared toward women.”

Nicki Reamer | Class Participant “We start with more simple exercises at first and by the end are adding the more complex stuff,” Tribble said.

This class was developed in the beginning of the summer of 2014 to primarily help women navigate their way throughout the weights without feeling intimidated. From there it’s progressed into an exercise class that addresses activities that specifically target women.

“It’s focused more exclusively that are geared toward women,” said Nicki Reamer, Women on Weights participant.

The cost of the class is $35 per the six-week session. This current course will end the week before the University’s final exams, with the potential for the next course to begin during a summer session.

Down also shared that the Library has the third largest comic collection and other collections of things students can’t find in other libraries, such as original movie

HATCH From Page 1 said no to Machi Hibachi.

“You can’t win them all, but I’m definitely not giving up on Machi,” he said after the event.

The second Hatchling was Allen Viancourt.

Viancourt presented a business idea called Tech Turf, a new training model for football players.

Most of the investors were hesitant to invest immediately in Tech Turf because of pricing, licensing and development options. Viancourt combatted their worries by speaking to his marketing strategy by asking University athletes and coaches if they would use it. They said yes.

Investor Brian Sokol spoke for all investors to say, “It’s a potential deal.”

Tech Turf will potentially be developed with investors after discussion following The Hatch event.

Next up was Hatchling Elsa Vogel.

Vogel presented a business idea called Pieces of Me, an app that creates personalized clothing using a person’s personality traits.

After some concern that merchandise would be “just a trend or fad” by investor Linda Forte and other discussions, Pieces of Me was chosen to be funded by all five investors.

“I’m just so excited for this and I’m so happy to have my sorority sisters giving me so much support. It’s exciting,” Vogel said after the event.

The fourth Hatchling was

Haksun Lee. Lee presented the Teddy Teller, a teddy bear to help children learn different languages.

After discussing the idea that the actual technology of the teddy bear would have more investment the original idea, all five investors said no, with one investor offering guidance to network after the event.

The fifth Hatchling was Meredith Keller.

Keller originally entered The Hatch program working on an app that helps those diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.

However, she found out this program was being developed by the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in week three of the process.

Keller’s presentation urged students and investors to invest in the Christina Davidson foundation, a foundation that raises money for cystic fibrosis research.

The sixth Hatchling was Thomas Stevens.

Stevens presented Caddie Cab, a campus taxi service.

Investors were hesitant to invest in Caddie Cab because of licensing, trademark and the location of the business.

Because of this, all five investors said that Stevens could refine his plan and then there would be room for funding.

The seventh Hatchling was Mark Kohn.

Kohn presented U-BEEquity, an online service for local beekeepers to sell their product.

Investor Scott Rothweiler asked Kohn, “Are you a beekeeper or a business person?”

After debating if Kohn had enough market and supply to create a stable business, all five investors chose not to invest.

The eighth Hatchling was Devon Williams.

Williams presented MuSync, an app that allows music to be shared and listened to on multiple devices at once.

She was eager and confident that she was going to be invested in, and all five investors saw her confidence. After some discussion about target audiences, all five investors were willing to help her develop her app.

“I have so many emotions,” Williams said after the event.

“I am so excited that investors are taking this chance on me.”

The final Hatchling was Matthew Snider.

Snider presented TRIck Shot, a 3 in 1 board game marketed toward tailgaters and college students.

After conversation about investment in production in the United States and licensing agreements with sporting goods, four out of the five investors agreed to help develop TRIck Shot after further developments.

The 2015 Hatch event brought in more than 2,000 students to the Stroh to see the wide range of ideas created by their peers.

“I thought they were all excellent and I really enjoyed the diversity of the subject matter,” Mazey said. “They were very creative. From designing clothes, to apps, even the cystic fibrosis was very touching.”

and television scripts, action figures ranging from marvel character to the twilight series, and even a three-dimensional star trek collection.

“People think of libraries as just checking out books, but that’s not what libraries are like anymore,” said Dean Bushong.

Instead, she said libraries have many formats to consider. Between the main library and depository, the University has over two million volumes.

Annually the library circulates about 300,00 print volumes, has 2.4 million database searches done, and have students download 800,000 jour-

nals.

The library doesn’t only circulate print books, but also laptops, kindles, a go-pro coming this fall, chargers, video cameras, and digital cameras for student use.

“We’re trying to be responsive to student needs,” Bushong said.

She shared that over the last few years, the Library has been doing visioning work to make the library a destination place for students. The first floor offers computer tech assistance, helpful librarians, computer labs, and the Learning Commons.

In the future, the Library

will be redoing the 7th floor by this fall, which will include additional group study rooms by reservation along with more and different furniture based on student suggestion.

Jerome Library will also be celebrating National Library week. Each day at the Library will be something new, including free donut holes, elevator dance parties, and Authors and Artists, where students are showcased.

“Were getting pizza for staff to celebrate ourselves because librarians don’t really do that. We’re always worrying about other people,” Dean Bushong said.

ALLEGORY OF THE JEROME LIBRARY

ZACH NELSON

A woman’s sexual life is her own business, not something to be scrutinized by others Learning about sex at an allgirls Catholic high school was quite an experience, one that left me rather jaded.

The sex education program utilized by my high school, particularly, seemed fun and interesting, at first.

My classmates and I were juniors at the time and many of us were completely taken by the cute, charismatic speaker; he joked around and related to us on a personal level.

He told us about his struggle with sex addiction and how he eventually overcame the disorder. After some deep conversation, he began to tell us about the consequences of unprotected premarital sex [heterosexual sex, specifically]; he educated us about Sexually Transmitted Infections and the chances of having an unintended pregnancy.

For the majority of the lesson, the information being recited to us didn’t seem too absurd, especially for a sex education program taking place at a Catholic high school. At the very end of the lesson, however, the speaker did something that I’ve never been able to forget.

Using a flower as an analogy, he began to explain what happens when one has too many sexual partners.

According to him, each of us was a flower and every time we slept with a different person, we lost a petal.

Of course, the more people

AUTUMN KUNKEL FORUM EDITOR

we had sex with, the more likely we were to end up a petal-less flower. And who would want such a thing, after all?

He assured us he wasn’t suggesting that we had no worth if we slept with numerous people; after all, he, himself, had had multiple sexual partners in the past. He simply wanted us to understand the emotional damage that can go along with promiscuity.

And I believe that he believed this.

But even if his intentions were good, the fact of the matter remains: that’s a seriously messed up message to send to young, impressionable girls. Basically, he was slut-shaming.

This is a perfect [albeit unfortunate] real-life example of the stigma that remains in regards to female sexuality, even to this day.

And it doesn’t just exist for teenage girls; even in adulthood, women are met with rules and guidelines for how they should behave sexually.

There’s a certain number of partners we can have before we’re deemed “sluts,” if we choose not to have sex we’re “prudes” and anything we wear is scruti-

nized. Despite years of progress, the catch 22 remains when it comes to our sexual lives.

And that’s why I think it’s important for women to do whatever they want, regardless. If you want to have sex just for fun, go for it. If you’re doing it with someone you deeply care about, great. If you choose to remain celibate until you’re married, fantastic. As long as all parties involved are consenting to the activity, there shouldn’t be a problem.

The stigma may remain, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fight it. And one of the best ways to do so is simply by not caring what other people think. Eventually, society will catch up to us.

Meanwhile, let’s stop teaching girls and telling women that their worth is tied to their sexual behavior. A woman is worth more than who she sleeps with and how often and her sexual life is the concern of no one but herself, her partner(s) and her doctor.

We’re human beings, after all; not flowers.

And to those people out there, both men and women, who feel the need to regulate the sexual activity of others: why don’t you just mind your own business?

Exceedingly high standards of beauty negatively affect women in society, need to be abandoned Let’s talk about Tumblr for a minute.

For those who don’t know, Tumblr is an online blogging site that allows the user to share photos, videos, links and video clips as they desire. You can set quenes to post when you’re away from your computer or you can download the mobile application on whatever smartphone you own.

Founded in 2007 by David Karp, Tumblr is home to over 225.1 million blogs.

It’s a big space for creativity and social activism. It could possibly be viewed as a release from social pressures for those struggling with expressing themselves and fitting in.

However, in spaces like these, there breeds a bacteria of insecurity - and the target is young girls and women.

For hours, girls from the ages of 13+ are encouraged to scourer blog after blog to learn how to perfect nails, hair, makeup and to follow blogs written and kept up by young boys and men that “re-blog” and glorify black and white clippings from porn found online.

I have a Tumblr, as much as I hate to admit it. I try to flood my feed with good, sustainable and positive things, but body image issues and the short walk

MICHELE MATHIS COPY CHIEF

to the mirror to look at how my jeans don’t fit me for the 60th time is always a guaranteed behavior after an hour-long viewing period.

Unfortunately, I am not alone.

Women being shamed if they do not fit a specific Westernized body type is a real problem with real consequences. Do you see the problem?

If you haven’t already, maybe this little tidbit can help.

In Estelle Freedman’s “No Turning Back,” she writes, “In the contemporary United States, over half of thirteen-year-old girls and three-quarters of eighteen-year-old girls express dissatisfaction with their body. A 1986 study found that 70 percent of fourth-grade girls reported concern about their weight and that about half of them dieted.”

Freedman also reports that Weight Watchers has a clientele that is 95 percent female and that the number of women that sought after breast enlargement surgery in the United States increased from

thirty thousand in 1992 to eighty-seven thousand in 1997.

When I read this, I was quite taken aback. In the fourth grade, I was skinning my knees and begging my mom to take me to McDonalds.

Photo editing of celebrities that are exposing themselves to a specific, young demographic, along with the pointed goal of the porn industry to adhere to men, the message stands clear: women who are not white, skinny [but curvy] and do not have straight hair and/or nice skin will never be desirable.

This idea can have damaging, life-long effects on a person. This creates diet programs and weight loss charts for teenagers, it creates organizations that need funding for eating disorder offices and psychiatrists that prescribe medicine.

It is time to break the cycle of beauty and dismantle the notion that only one type of beauty is acceptable or normal.

I hope some day we can live in a world where young girls don’t refuse food at the age of thirteen or punish their bodies when they give in to cookies, all for the sake of looking “pretty.”

BG falls to EMU despite early run

By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor

The Bowling Green baseball team kept the early-scoring going in its midweek game against Eastern Michigan.

It didn’t pay off this time.

Getting on the board with a sacrifice fly in the top of the first inning, the Falcons [9-18] snagged an early 1-0 lead. They held the lead until the bottom half of the third when the Eagles tied it up with an RBI groundout.

Starter Jevon Boyd continued through the fourth inning, surrendering just one run through 14 batters.

“We had some solid pitching performances and did some good things that we can build on, but now we must turn our attention to a big series at Ohio this weekend,” said head coach Danny Schmitz.

Despite the early run, BG was being no-hit by Kyle Huckaby through five innings, taking advantage of walks and fielding errors.

The Falcons didn’t register their first of three hits until the top of the sixth on a two-out Matt Smith triple. Greg Basalyga couldn’t advance Smith another 90 feet, grounding out to end the inning.

“Our offensive approach wasn’t very good tonight, and we never got much going,” Schmitz said.

EMU took advantage.

In the bottom of the inning, the Eagles broke the 1-1 tie.

Trevor Farrell came on to pitch for Wes Rickenberg, getting a quick out, but then the Eagles broke the game open.

Jordan Peterson singled to right before stealing second.

Farrell then got John Rubino to a full count before letting him get away, putting two on with one out.

A wild pitch allowed both baserunners to advance, putting Peterson on third, Rubino on second.

Again, Farrell couldn’t find the zone, walking Mitchell

Atlanta Braves are a team to look out for after surprising many For those of you who weren’t epiphanized by my most recent column, for those of you who didn’t read it, or for those of you who still don’t love baseball — feel free to move along.

And even for those of you who made it to this sentence, you probably won’t care about what I’m about to say next.

Now, for the great group of people who made it to the second sentence, I’ll warn you that my fandom will admittedly be thrust into the next 564 words.

The Atlanta Braves. I’ll say it once more ... the Atlanta Braves.

Nobody gave us a chance after we nearly cleared house in the offseason, replacing our entire outfield among new faces at an array of other positions.

But hold up.

We’re obviously going 162-0 following our three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins to open the season.

OK, OK, back to reality.

Sure, we won’t be perfect, I even predicted we wouldn’t finish the year above .500 — and that was before the news of the Craig Kimbrel trade — but I think we will surprise

BRANDON SHRIDER SPORTS EDITOR

people.

Just one of five undefeated teams in the earlygoing, executing run-producing opportunities and locating pitches in crucial situations, the Braves have an outside chance to make some noise this season.

Sure the frightening offseason gave plenty of reason to scare off any substantial preseason predictions, but is our team really any worse?

Losing Jason Heyward, my favorite player, and jokingly the best player in baseball, was one loss that will be hard to replace. Not because of his offense — a part of his game that has yet to peak — but his elite defense in right field is certainly irreplaceable.

However, a veteran like Nick Markakis will smoothly fill his shoes while keeping a lighthearted clubhouse.

Now for the other losses.

Justin Upton, Evan Gattis, Craig Kimbrel, Melvin Upton Jr., Tommy LaStella and Jordan Walden were

all pawned off in trades while solid pieces such as Ervin Santana and Aaron Harang were allowed to walk in free agency.

Santana was busted with a drug-related suspension despite requiring an eight-figure salary, so he doesn’t matter. Harang is a replaceable veteran arm, who carried nothing more than minimal value.

LaStella was shipped to Chicago for former Brave Arodys Vizcaino, a highupside arm, but he too was busted with a drug-related suspension. But LaStella was a middling prospect who has already been replaced by Jace Peterson, a guy with similar talent and more speed for the top of the order.

Ridding ourselves of Upton was a plus because he can’t stay on the field, and when he did find himself in centerfield, he struggled to keep his batting average above the Mendoza Line.

OK, now to the good players.

One aspect we will desperately miss is the pop in the middle of the lineup from J. Upton and Gattis. Combining for 51 homeruns a year ago, we have replaced them with

THE BG NEWS SUDOKU

veteran Jonny Gomes and rookie Christian Bethancourt.

Neither replacement wins an award in the name-game, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be effective.

Gomes, as an everyday player, can hit 20 dingers while driving in 80+ runs depending on where he slots in the lineup.

Bethancourt, former top 70 prospect according to Baseball America, isn’t known for his offense, but his glove behind the plate will be a considerable upgrade over Gattis.

And losing the best closer in baseball obviously hurts too, but with current closer Jason Grilli and former closer Jim Johnson as viable replacements, the back-end of our bullpen should produce near-similar numbers, with just a bit less flare.

So, yeah, I wouldn’t put us in the World Series conversation quite yet, maybe not even the NL East conversation, but when we’re hanging around in the second half, don’t be surprised. We have some unfamiliar faces, but a wellrounded roster with plenty guys looking to prove they belong in the show.

SUDOKO To play: Complete the grid so that every row, column and every 3 x 3 box contains the digits 1 to 9. There is no guessing or math involved.

Falcons have a chance to move in the standings and bring the Red Hawks down from that top spot.

The Red Hawks are the better team on paper, winning most matchups in the box. Miami has 78 more hits than Bowling Green, 48 more RBIs and lead in batting average, doubles and triples. But the Falcons lead in homeruns with 19 to the Red Hawks 13.

They will look to add to those homeruns again this weekend after sophomore Aspen Searle and freshman Kayla Koch hit multiple longballs last week.

Searle, along with sophomore Trista Mokienko, combine for more than half of the homeruns hit this year with 11.

Searle has been strong all season for the Falcons.

The second year player has hit a homer in the team’s last three doubleheaders and has eight so far com-

Hundreds to flock to campus for Sibs N’ Kids weekend

By Nikita Lewis

The University Activities Organization (UAO) and the Office of Campus Activities at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) invites students’ siblings and families to earn their wings as Camp Falcon takes flight.

The annual Sibs N’ Kids Weekend will welcome hundreds of students and their siblings to the University April 10 -12.

Sibs N’ Kids weekend is a free annual weekend-long event that engages family members with the BGSU community, increase relations to the institution, and provides siblings with an opportunity to experience college.

“The mission is to create a unique bonding experience for students and families while building connections to the university and forming lasting memories through interactive programs that engage a diverse community,” said Shannon Andrews, director of Sibs N’ Kids weekend.

During this weekend, there will be variety of events that involves games and activities focused on the theme of “Camp Falcon takes flight.”

“On the schedule they’re a lot of events that refer to space, galaxy and aliens so I guess their going with the space or aviation theme,” said Alexandria Towns, participant of Sibs N’ Kids weekend.

“The mission is to create a unique bonding experience for students and families while building connections to the university and forming lasting memories through interactive programs that engage a diverse community,” Shannon Andrews, director of Sibs N’ Kids weekend.

Several campus services and organizations, such as the BGSU Herpetology Lab and Fad Watch, will join UAO in hosting activities throughout the weekend, according to the Sibs N’ Kids schedule.

Over 20 activities are planned for the weekend including laser tag, book fairs, 5k color run and intergalac-

Many organizations work together to make weekend a success

By Kely Savela

BGSU’s annual Sibs N’ Kids Weekend takes the theme of Camp Falcon Takes Flight for this year.

The theme revolves primarily around space and aviation travel and promotes an educational aspect to the weekend. University Activities Organization (UAO) has worked to put this weekend together by having each programming team within the organization host a different activity for the attendees.

Aside from just UAO hosting the majority of the events, other organizations on campus are coordinating with the theme to host events of their own.

On Saturday, Sigma Kappa Sorority is hosting their Cosmic 5K where participants will be doused in different colors seen in space throughout the run. Also on Saturday, the Latino Student Union (LSU) are putting together Vuela Con LSO, “Fly with LSU,” where siblings

have the opportunity to travel through different Latin American countries to learn about the Latino culture.

“I want the sibs and kids to see what the different flavors of Latin countries have to offer, whether it be dancing or the culture or something that is important to their history,” said Hanna Engle, Treasurer of LSU. The Social Outreach programming team of UAO is hosting an educational Blast Off Crafts session during the weekend where participants will partake in crafting alien hats, while also receiving trading cards with facts informing them about space and flight. This event works to engage younger siblings, while also providing them with some sort of learning aspect.

“This year we really looked at what would be a good fit for the older sibs, while also looking for provide things for the youngers sibs as well,” said Alayna Wannemacher, Co-Director of Special Events.

On Friday, the movie Space Jam is being offered to appease the younger audience, while on Saturday there is a viewing of Guardians of the Galaxy for those with older siblings in attendance.

While registration of the sibs or kids is encouraged, it isn’t required to attend an event. UAO has worked diligently to make this weekend both fun and educational for everyone who is involved.

BGSU students are also welcome to attend the events, regardless if they have any siblings or children with them.

“We’re working to engage those who have younger siblings in an education manner during some of the activities we have planned, I think this theme was a good fit to do this with,” said Mackenzie Marquis, Co-Director of Social Outreach.

tic dance party.

On Friday their will be several events that students and siblings will have to choose from such as the Delta Gamma and Wood County Scholastic Book fair , Aliens from Earth and also watching Guardians of the Galaxy in the theater.

“The book fair is sponsored by Delta Gamma

and that will be from 12 p.m. – 5p.m., but during that time their will also be a BGSU softball game and the Herpetology department is sponsoring an event where they will bring out reptiles so kids can touch them,” said Andrews.

While the Sibs N’ Kids weekend has child friendly events such as “Blast off Crafts” and “Galaxy Game Night”, their will also be events that raise awareness and supports a cause.

“At the Sigma Kappa Cosmic 5K all proceeds will go towards Alzheimer Research and we also have an event for the girls where they can get their nails and makeup

done and that event is raising awareness for Circle of Sisterhood foundation,” Andrews said.

Other events such as “Galaxy Tie Dye in Space” and the viewing of Space Jam will be included during the eventful weekend.

“I’m really excited about Sibs N’ Kids weekend because my siblings always have fun and events are well coordinated,” said Rockie Moore, junior at BGSU. Hundreds of students and siblings are registered for the annual weekend. “ It’s really going to be a success, everyone should definitely come out,” said Andrews. n

Students looking forward to family time

By Kendra Clark Kids are going to be filling the University’s halls this weekend for Sibs and Kids weekend.

Students are invited to bring their siblings from home to stay the weekend at the University. Also, University organizations are setting up events to entertain the siblings all throughout the weekend.

Senior Mary Wright is a member of the PanHellenic Council and will be volunteering for the event Shoot for the Stars and Be Who You Are. “This is for the girls day event,” she said.

The event will be inviting young girls to come and get their nails and hair done for the day.

“The goal is to make them feel confident,” Wright said. “We want to try and instill that feeling from a young age.”

This is the first time the PanHellenic Council will be hosting this event, she said, and Wright hopes there will be more to follow.

“The whole executive board is doing this,” she said.

“It should be really fun, I’m excited.”

Freshman Alanna Meadows is bring her siblings for a daylong event on Saturday.

She has a nine year old little brother and a 15 year old little sister.

“In the morning, my organization will be hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser so we will be going to that,” Meadows said. “I’m excited about having my siblings up and show them the school.”

Meadows decided to bring her siblings because she has a friend who participated last year and their siblings had a fun time.

“My friend’s bother is the same age as my brother and he is coming this year,

so they will probably hang out that day.”

Freshman Jesse Dean will be bringing his younger 16 year old brother. He will be spending the whole weekend at his residence hall. He doesn’t know if his brother will want to participate in the activities from Sibs and Kids, because this weekend will be more like a tour for his brother around college.

“He is looking into colleges right now,” Dean said. “I will probably have him hang with my friends and he can figure out what he wants to do. I’ll show him around and show him what it’s like to be in college.”

Sophomore Kathy Moore will be bringing her siblings to the University for the second time.

“My little sister came last year and loved it,” she said.

“She really liked the animals that were there last year and the blow up obstacle courses.” n

eing away from family and friends is one of the toughest transitions for college students. But just across the street from Founder’s Hall is a “home” that bridges the gap and provides students a much-needed home away from home with a sense of community.

Active Christians Today, located at 612 East Wooster, is a non-denominational campus ministry where the emphasis is on “a home away from home, “ says Dave Warner, pastor at ACT. “It has that feeling here.”

Pastor Warner has been leading the ministry for 19 years, and along with his wife, Vicki, they strive to provide a welcoming and inviting environment for all students through ACT. “My wife and I are at the age where a lot of students look to us as mom and dad,” says Dave. “We do family meals together and trips together. We try to create that family-type atmosphere.”

Of course the central mission of ACT is to provide a Christian ministry for students and help them establish or grow a relationship with Jesus Christ. ACT hosts an 8 p.m. Wednesday chapel service with contemporary worship music and a message usually led by Pastor Dave. Sunday nights at 7:30 p.m., currently at the ACT house, is evening fellowship for students, with an emphasis on community, meaning they hope to develop transparency between people to build relationships.

ACT also offers service projects and mission work throughout the year.

The ACT House on Wooster serves as the central area of activity for the ministry. It serves as a place of welcome for all students.

Every day, Monday through Friday, the house opens its doors at 8 a.m. and stays open into

the evening “until the last person leaves,” says Pastor Dave. The house features a full kitchen for student use, free Internet, cable TV, a quiet room and a remodeled garage that serves as an informal gathering place. To help introduce students to the ACT house, two food giveaways, featuring a cookout atmosphere, are hosted at Homecoming during the fall and the Friday before finals week in the spring

“We live in a really tough world and there is a lot of different voices out there demanding attention,” he says.

“A lot of those voices are being about a sense or focus on self. The message of the Gospel, that of Jesus, is to love one another as I have loved you.”

Pastor Dave sees the mission of ACT unchanging over the years, if not more important in today’s world of social media.

“We live in a really tough world and there is a lot of different voices out there demanding attention,” he says. “A lot of those voices are being about a sense or focus on self. The message of the Gospel, that of Jesus, is to love one another as I have loved you.”

Pastor Dave invites all students to stop by and hang out at the ACT house with him and his wife.

REVIEW From Page 3 stopped returning my calls.

So yeah, if you want an album that will subtly and slowly turn your children into “gangsters,” then this is just what the doctor ordered [read sarcastically].

Of course, if you want Luda’s opinion, just take a gander at the album’s opening line.

“Ain’t nobody [swearword] with me when it comes to getting lyrical.”

Indeed, there isn’t. Except when it comes to wholesome artists like Toby Keith, Christopher.

Also Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, ASAP Rocky, Kid Cudi, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler, the Creator, Kanye West, Drake, The Roots, E-40, Eminem and hell, even Macklemore.

Full disclosure, when I saw the album cover I thought I was buying a soul album from the 70s, so that’s why this review is a bit disjointed.

My opinions still stand though.

Is there a story in the BG News that you’ve felt you wanted to voice your opinion on?

Well, what are you waiting for?

Mecca Management would like to congratulate Erin Watton, this years free rent for the school year winner. Erin is a junior at BGSU, studying Special Education.
