Tobacco free or not tobacco free?

That is the question.

By Abby Shifley Reporter In May 2016, the University received a grant of $20,000 from the American Cancer Society to help in the process of becoming a tobacco free campus. The University was one of 20 universities in the country to receive this grant.

Since then, the University has been making more of an effort to gain support from the Undergraduate Student Government and the Graduate Student Senate to make the University tobacco free but has been met with some resistance.

Faith DeNardo, director of Wellness Connection, said that she has met with the USG and is meeting with GSS this Thursday to discuss this issue. She said that the University is the only public institution in the state that has not gone tobacco free.

“It’s just the way society is moving, towards this tobacco-free environment.”

DeNardo said some employers do not hire tobacco users, so tobacco users have a limited job market. Also, the cost of healthcare is often higher for tobacco users, and users have a higher risk of chronic illness. DeNardo said that becoming tobacco free would definitely be good for students in the long run.

But USG has a number of concerns about becoming a tobacco-free campus.

Reagan Shull, a senator at large in the USG, said their main concern is the wel-

fare of students who are addicted to tobacco.

“We’re concerned that if we become a completely tobacco free campus, it’s going to be hard for students to focus on school work and extracurricular activities when they’re dealing with addiction.”

Shull said USG is also concerned because it seems like the University is trying to catch up to other surrounding universities. She also said concern comes from USG not exactly knowing how the grant money from the American Cancer Society is going to be spent. Shull said right now it looks like a lot of it is going to be put towards advertising.

Shull said if the University is going to become tobacco free, there should definitely be a support system in place for those who are addicted to tobacco.

In addition, DeNardo said she wants to see USG coming up with solutions to the problems becoming tobacco free might cause. Overall, there is still a lot of discussion to be had over this topic between USG and the University.

FORUM PEOPLEON U.S. votes against LGBT protections THESTREET

October 5, 2017 | PAGE 3

If you’re still having trouble understanding how the Trump administration is actively hurting people, then look no further than the U.S. voting against a United Nations proposal that condemns countries that apply a death penalty to same-gender relations.

This is a choice that actively harms gay people. This vote can directly lead to death for LGBT+ people in certain countries.

Having a relationship with someone of your same gender is in no way a punishable offence, let alone one that deserves death.

This is completely unacceptable and proof that the vulnerable people who need it most are not getting help from our government.

Agreeing to sentence queer people in other countries to death has a direct correlation with them being killed.

Fortunately, the resolution passed with a 27 to 13 lead, as well as seven countries that chose to abstain.

According to an Oct. 3 article from Buzzfeed news, the U.S. chose to vote against this resolution because the U.S. never votes against anything that condemns the death penalty. America is one of 25 countries that still utilizes the death penalty and is on the top

five list of executioners, according to Amnesty International.

Any resolution denouncing capital punishment is a step towards the U.S. no longer being able to employ it, sure. But that doesn’t excuse the fact the mindset of our ambassador in the U.N. and of our current administration is that the protection of LGBT+ in our world is less important than our right to kill criminals.

Being arrested or killed for being gay is a real problem people face. This wasn’t some abstract vote on an issue that may or may not be affecting people.

BBC has been reporting on the “crackdown” on LGBT people in Egypt. Seven people were arrested for being seen holding a rainbow flag, which meant they were “promoting sexual deviancy.”

The Egyptian government is using dating apps to find and arrest LGBT Egyptians.

The active choice to not protect vulnerable people is one that speaks loud and clear, and you should be listening.

From a map on the Movement Advancement Project, in the U.S. only 50 percent of states have non-discrimination laws that protect people with a sexual orientation other than straight. Even less than that cover gender identity. Trans people are also in the vulnerable minority and barely receive governmental protection.

Also, three states, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas, have legislation that stops the state from passing or enforcing non-discrimination laws for the LGBT+ community.

The LGBT+ community is not getting any protection from the U.S. government, so it is important that we stand up for and advocate for queer people.

What are your plans for fall break?

Thoughts on the Vegas tragedy

By Chase Bachman Columnist In the wake of a traumatic event, it’s typical for emotions to overtake your thinking. We as human beings can be so overcome with fear and anxiety that it dominates our mind; we lose reason and logic and all of the processes that we have to make the best possible choices in any given event.

This has happened a countless number of times in the world’s history, and the United States is no exception. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the U.S. sent thousands of Japanese-Americans to internment camps for suspected espionage. Families and children were imprisoned because of the supposed security risk. It’s probably safe to assume most of those interned were not spies of the Japanese.

But it should be stated that nothing is

ever as bad as it seems, despite what your emotions may make you feel. This includes the recent tragedy in Las Vegas. The horrible truth is that, at the time of this writing, 59 people are dead and some 500 are hurt. Many more are damaged psychologically, and I am horrified by the loss of these innocent people.

But America will rise from this dark moment just as it has in any other.

Continued from page 3 This appears to me to be yet another mentally ill person with many weapons and accessories who committed a devastating act of violence. That does not, however, excuse guns from the issue. This is not nearly a mental health issue as much as it is an automatic weapons issue.

According to The New York Times, the shooter had multiple rifles and a bump stock, which make the rifles fire rapidly. These are items that can be purchased by average American consumers.

The fear by many gun owners now is that their 2nd Amendment right is at risk of being eliminated.

I have four members in my family who legally own firearms, including my mother,

who is a proud member of the NRA. She does not possess an automatic weapon, nor has she ever expressed a desire for one. She doesn’t need one, and neither does anybody else.

The same goes for any accessories, such as suppressors (better known as silencers), bump stocks or extended magazines. Nowhere in any part of American daily life is there a need for such items. The fact that these are available to consumers like you and me is a scary thought. It’s comparable to uranium and plutonium being sold at the nearest Dick’s sporting goods store.

Criminals are going to continue to break laws and shootings will unfortunately occur in the future. But if the government and firearms manufacturers work to close up the channels that allow these items to reach consumers, the number of shooting sprees and fatalities would almost certainly drop.

There’s a reason uranium and plutonium are closely guarded. People are aware of the destruction and harm they can cause if not handled properly.

I totally understand the responsible gun owners and their staunch defense of the 2nd Amendment. I support it too. There’s a reason it came before a trial by jury. It is people’s fundamental right to defend themselves.

But no one needs an extended clip to defend themselves.

Whether you’re a member of the NRA or have never held a gun in your life like me, we can all agree that there is no place for automatic weapons in normal American society. Gun owners shouldn’t be paranoid that all guns will be taken away; it’s their Constitutional right. But, we can agree that removing automatic weapons and certain accessories is a step in the right direction. Congress should follow suit.

The decline of campus Republicans Some complaints have come into the paper that there is not enough voice given to conservatives on campus. I would agree that this is true, but it is not the fault of the BG News. I myself have tried to cover two stories this year involving the input of the College Republicans, but they do not get back with me.

I spoke with a guy who was in the group last year, and he told me that the reason why the club is such a recluse this year is because no one actually wanted to lead the College Republicans. The president of the club took the position this year not because he wanted to, but because no one else would step up and take the job.

The club did not make an appearance at Campus Fest and has only had one meeting so far. This frustrates me especially because I was a part of the group last year, and I liked being in it. I don’t usually share that I was a member of the group because in the past, after their initial shock, people would ask, “Oh, so does that mean you’re a Neo-Nazi?” No. I am not some right-winged radical. I don’t assume that others who don’t have the same views as me are some hippie liberals, so please give me the

“There is a place for Republicans to be heard on this liberal campus.” same courtesy. That comment and others like it are one of many reasons why the Republican group is on the decline here. Some who consider themselves to be more liberal have preconceived notions about conservatives and never want to hear what they have to say.

After a while, it just gets easier to be quiet and

not speak up against the Democratic majority on campus because of fear for being thought of as being racist or close-minded.

Another reason why the club is on the decline is that they have done it to themselves.

After the presidential election, meetings turned into a place where all people did was complain about Democrats. We didn’t talk about what plans we hoped Donald Trump would follow through on or how it felt to get a win even though, for an overwhelming majority of us, he wasn’t our first choice for the Republican candidate. The meetings had no structure and instead of building upon the election results to talk about progress in the country under a Republican Senate and president, we fizzled out. That November election was the group’s chance to capitalize their presence on campus and bring more like-minded people into the club. Instead, it is the Campus Democrats who seem to be going strong.

So, if the conservatives on campus want to come out of hiding and share their opinions or want stories about them in the paper, just talk to us. There is a place for Republicans to be heard on this liberal campus.

BG NEWS Male participation and higher goals set for One Grey Outfit 2017

By Ja’Lynn Dukes Reporter As the month of October rolls in, the University’s Panhellenic Council is preparing for another run with the One Grey Outfit project, previously known as One Grey Dress.

Starting back up at the University in 2014, One Grey Outfit is a month-long fundraising project put on to raise awareness and money for victims of human trafficking in Ohio. The project was just recently changed from “dress” to “outfit” to be more inclusive to anyone who may not be comfortable in a dress.

The basis of the project is to have the participants experience feelings of isolation, limited decision and oppression by having to wear the same grey outfit for 30 days. The participants are challenged to feel the different emotions that come with being enslaved to the same piece of clothing in hopes of raising awareness and pushing people to learn more about human trafficking and just how prevalent it is in our region.

“The goal was to get more people involved and wanting to participate without having to wear only a dress. Now, men in the Interfraternal Council and other branches of campus can participate,” stated Alexis Schmidt, Panhellenic Service Chair and a member of Delta Gamma.

Toledo, Ohio, near Bowling Green, is one of the highest ranking cities for human traf-

ficking. Schmidt explained she wanted to get involved after learning more about the project through the Panhellenic Council.

The project benefits The Daughter Project which is a service for those affected by human trafficking. The center provides resources

which I think we can achieve,” said Megan D’Angelo, Panhellenic President and member of Kappa Delta.

Through extra efforts of advertising and word of mouth, Schmidt was able to reach a larger audience and make the project more personable.

“I hope by the end of the month we have more participation from other people and not just women in the Panhellenic community. Alexis has done a really good job with getting the word out and included everyone, so I want to see how that works out,” said D’Angelo.

As preparation for the project began, there were informational union tables, buttons for participants, changes to the project and an early release of the fundraising page to the public to grab attention earlier.

Participation does not need to start exactly on the first of the month and those who may have missed that deadline are encouraged to still get a start and begin at any point in the month.

Both D’Angelo and Schmidt hope that over the years more areas of campus PHOTO PROVIDED BY GOOGLE will be involved and the goal and educational programs for those who have can be raised. been rescued from trafficking. It is located in

Brookside Church B

A Community Church Centered on Campus

rookside Church was formed in 2001 and was moved to campus in the fall of 2002.

Kevin Crawford, Brookside’s Lead Teaching Pastor, has been with the church since November of its first year.

“We are not a ‘college church’ per se,” Crawford explains. “Brookside is a community church that rents on campus, but we do have a ton of students who regularly attend.”

Services are held at 10 AM in Olscamp 101 each Sunday, and in addition to offering its traditional Sunday morning service, Brookside also partners with the college ministry known as Cru that meets on Thursdays at 9 PM in Olscamp.

“Cru is all college students, while Sunday service is everyone,” Crawford adds.

For any students that are hesitant to join a new church, Crawford offers words of encouragement: “I understand that the term ‘church’ can bring up many emotions,” he says. “We are committed to helping

“No matter where they are on their spiritual journey we hope Brookside can provide a place where they feel like they belong,” — Kevin Crawford, Brookside’s Lead Teaching Pastor — people through whatever part of their spiritual journey they find themselves in, and we hope that we can make them comfortable.”

Brookside also offers smaller places to connect outside of a Sunday morning, known as “Community Groups”, that meet throughout the week.

A Community Group is a group of people from the congregation that get together to grow in their faith and bless others in the awesome ways that Jesus did.

“Our motto is that we want to grow bigger as we grow smaller,’ Crawford says. “It is hard to get to know 300 people, so we have smaller groups that get together in close friendship.

These groups develop a family-like togetherness that lends itself to looking at the Bible, learning more about one

another, and sharing the love of Jesus with people who don’t know Him.” Attending a Brookside Community Group or a Cru Lifegroup is something that Crawford recommends students look into.

“College is a time where we ask a lot of big questions about life,” he says.

“Doing it alone is daunting and scary.”

Crawford says he hopes that if students choose to attend Brookside that they feel at home.

“No matter where they are on their spiritual journey we hope Brookside can provide a place where they feel like they belong,” Crawford said.

The Brookside Church Office is located at 126 N Main Street, and they can be contacted at 419-354-2211. For more information about Brookside Church or to view past sermons, go to www.brooksidechurch.net.

Soccer plays first game of road trip

By Jamison Terbrack Sports Reporter It is time for the Falcons men’s soccer team to rest, take a deep breath and prepare for the Mid-American Conference season.

On Saturday the games begin to mean more as the team heads to Edwardsville, Illinois to take on the Edwardsville Cougars.

The Cougars are at 4-6 for the season but are 3-3 at home, where they will face the Falcons.

“This is a conference game, so it really doesn’t matter what the non-conference record is,” Falcons head coach Eric Nichols said. “Conference games are completely different. They are good at home, particularly because this game is their homecoming, and without a football team there will be a very big crowd.”

Like the Falcons, Edwardsville also played the Michigan State Spartans, and lost by a score of 0-1. Michigan State is the only common opponent between the two teams. Also like the Falcons, Edwardsville heads into this match-up after going on a three-game losing streak followed by a win in their last game.

Conference play is very important as it determines seeding for the conference tournament. Last year the Falcons came into the tournament as the number two seed and fell to Buffalo two to one in overtime. “[The game last year has had] no effect other than motivating a little more to get PHOTO BY IAN CAMPBELL back there,” Nichols said.

“The last game was very nerve wrack- Senior defenseman Alexis Souahy looks to pass in a game earlier this season. ing,” Senior defenseman Alexis Souahy said. “In double overtime, every time there “They are well organized and hard working, and they have quality is a shot on net it is scary. all over the field.”

Football faces Miami on the road

By Zane Miller Sports Editor The Falcons football team will face the Miami RedHawks on Saturday afternoon as the team continues their Mid-American Conference schedule.

Despite losing in their first MAC game of

the season to the Akron Zips 34-23 last Saturday, the team is optimistic about facing Miami.

“I think we’re moving in the right direction,” Falcons head coach Mike Jinks said. “To see those guys go down 20-6 and not hang their head, take the body punch and continue to fight back [was great].

Hockey takes on US Development Team

By Zane Miller Sports Editor The Falcons hockey team will play the U.S. National Development Team on Friday night, the Falcons’ final exhibition game before heading into the regular season.

“These are the top 18-year-old players in the country,” Chris Bergeron, Falcons head coach, said. “These young people want nothing more than to come into a college situation and beat the college team.”

With the National Development Team not being a typical university team, the team is expecting a different type of playing style, but will play them as hard as if they would a university team.

“For me, it’s not different because it’s a team in a different jersey and we want to beat them,” Bergeron said. “I don’t know

what it’s like for the players. Some of our players that have come from the (United States Hockey League), they play them from a regular season standpoint in juniors.

I don’t know how those games go, I don’t know if they’re like regular league games, but every kid on the team we’re playing is one year younger at least than every player on our team.”

The team’s most recent matchup against the National Development Team came on February 21, 2014, also as an exhibition game not counting towards regular season standings. However, the Falcons lost 6-1 in that game, something the team does not want to repeat.

“I like the fact that we’re playing them earlier in the year this time,” Bergeron said.

“My experience is very limited in playing this group, I’ve only played them once be-

fore in BG… and they took it to us pretty good. Our guys wanted the weekend off, their guys were hungry to play and the result was what the result was.”

The team will also get a chance to further correct some mistakes that they saw in their victory over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks in their other exhibition game last Sunday.

“I don’t think we got to the type of game that we wanted to play, especially offensively,” Bergeron said. “We have some players that are capable of making plays through the neutral zone and kind off the rush, we’re not talking about that necessarily, but we turned over way too many pucks through the neutral zone, which ultimately ended up being 30 seconds of chasing it around versus doing something with purpose through the neutral zone and then get

to an offensive game where we can grind people down and be relentless and those kinds of things.”

The team is also grateful to have another chance to prepare for the start of the season and further develop their younger players.

“I like the fact that we’re having a second exhibition game,” Bergeron said. “All of us within the program are NHL fans and they’ve got seven or eight exhibition games at the pro level to evaluate players and we get one, maybe two over the course of the season, to have two back to back for us, it’s going to be great and regardless of the result on Friday, we’re going to talk about process, we’re going to evaluate people individually, evaluate our team collectively and we’re teaching with the mindset of ‘let’s get better today’ and we’ll go from there.”

surance companies and campus resources to Bowling Green businesses, flu shot providers and local farmers, the fair and market offered many opportunities for learning more about ways to improve personal health and wellness.

Faith DeNardo, director of the Wellness Connection, spoke about what wellness organizations on campus wanted attendees to gain from this annual event.

“We hope that students found valuable health and wellness information in addition to access to healthy foods found at the Farmers’ Market,” DeNardo said.

The Farmers’ Market portion of the event had fruits, vegetables, jams, honey, baked goods and more. Chefs from BGSU Dining prepared samples of food like pasta salad, hummus and chips, meat and cheese platters and apple cider, all made with foods from local farmers and businesses.

Not only did students, faculty and community members get a chance to learn about the health benefits of locally grown food, but the vendors at the Farmers’ Market were also able to share their passion for their products.

“We hope that the vendors at both the Health Fair and the Farmers’ Market were able to share their resources, information and

products with many faculty, staff and student participants,” DeNardo said.

Mike Soboleski, founder of SoBee Honey in Bowling Green, picked up beekeeping as a hobby nine years ago and has been sharing his affinity for bees and the honey they produce at this event for three years. At his table, students tasted the raw honey Soboleski made with the help of his honeybees and heard more about the additives that might be found in store-bought honey that are not in organic honey.

Bennett Clark What inspired you to become a Morale Captain?

What inspired me to become a Morale Captain was honestly just watching the Morale Captains at any Dance Marathon events last year. They were always super energetic, exciting and all seemed to be really close friends. So I would add to that all of the MCs from last year inspired me to apply for the position.

What goals do you have for Ziggython?

My goals for us are honestly everywhere. I want us to be comfortable to tell anything to our other Morale Captains. I want us to work together as a team, and strive for so many miracles. Also for us to be the crazy, obnoxious and just be a blast in general.

What are you most excited about for this year’s Dance Marathon program?

All the miracles we will make! I am beyond pumped for this year, and everything it has to offer. The opportunities are endless for however you may be involved in Dance Marathon this year!

Do you have any messages for students who are new to Dance Marathon BG Newsthis year?
