PEOPLEON THESTREET If you could travel to any country in the world, where would it be and why?

“Spain, because I’m a Spanish minor and I love the culture.”

LIBBY MERZ Sophomore, Marketing

Holidays for family, not shopping I’m a fan of holidays. Getting to spend time with my family is one of my favorite things about the holidays. It’s something I look forward to every year. I enjoy getting to sit around a table with my family, talking about everything that’s happened the last few months and eating delicious food we worked hard to make. Even watching sports doesn’t make me mad as long as I’m with my family … most of the time, at least.

So the new tradition of shops and stores opening up early on Thanksgiving upsets me.

First off, it’s called Black Friday for a reason.

The shopping was meant to be done on a Friday. Not 7:30 on Thanksgiving night. Retail workers don’t necessarily want to be working.

They mostly want to be with their families, enjoying the time with them.

When I think of 7:30 Thanksgiving night, I think about curling up on the couch and trying not to fall asleep from all the food I ate a few hours earlier. I’m not thinking about going out and standing in the cold to try and get into a store.

Employees don’t really have a say in the hours they work. They work what they’re given or they can get fired. So if an employee

bg

Lauren Fitz Columnist

is told that they have to come in at midnight, they have no choice.

Almost as bad as working late on Thanksgiving or early on Friday is working a closing shift the day before Thanksgiving.

While there may not be as many people coming into the store, it’s up to the employees to make sure the store looks spotless and to make sure everything is in its proper place.

All for everything to get messed up when the sales start.

There are some stores that understand Thanksgiving is about spending time with family. Some stores refuse to open on Thanksgiving, mostly citing that they want their employees to spend time with their families and even want their customers to spend time with their families.

When I was in high school, my first job was a sales associate at Carter’s, a baby clothing store in the strip mall by my house. That

year, I worked the closing shift the day before Thanksgiving, worked a closing shift on Black Friday, and did another closing shift that Saturday as well. I thought working on Black Friday would be like all of my other shifts, where I’d come in and my manager would end up sending me home halfway through.

Instead, I worked a full four hour shift Wednesday night, a seven hour shift Black Friday and worked six hours the next night.

While I was happy I was getting hours, I had time with my family cut down because my family drove up to my grandparents’ house early Thanksgiving morning and left early that Friday so I could work. And while I got breaks while I was working, I came home tired, hungry and upset at the way some of the customers treated me.

So, as you wait outside of a store Thanksgiving night, waiting for the managers to open the doors, think about the employees who are giving up time to spend with their families to serve you.

Stay accountable, it’s not always professor

The attitude that you have toward your professors says a lot about you. And I get it; I’ve had a professor who never actually looked over any of the essays that my classmates turned in. She had her assistant do all of that for her. That absolutely bothered me, because I had some person I had never even seen grading my papers. I think that is something that would warrant a low score on an evaluation.

But last year during my second term was when I started to notice how disrespectful some students were being toward professors that I had no problem with. I had a large lecture hall filled with approximately three hundred students. This professor didn’t take attendance because of how many students were in the class, and each day I would hear someone who thought he was “too-coolfor-school” say that he only came to the exams. After the exam, he would whine to his friends that the questions were too hard

Abbey Serena Columnist and he might have to drop out.

In this same class, I heard students all around me gossiping about what Stacy did at the party on Friday, or how many drinks Harold had before he passed out. And while I can expect this in any class, what bothered me about the talking was that these students spoke as if they were just hanging out in their rooms, with no deference to the professor who was lecturing up front.

In another class, I sat beside of a girl who would get out her laptop at the beginning of class, open up games and Facebook, and not glance up once. After a while, my professor finally said that he had been documenting students’ various activities during class and

would be taking points off at the end of the semester. He taught me to never underestimate my professors. They’re not as senile as some students think.

I’ve also been through a class in which the professor passed around an attendance sheet, and I’ve watched some of the students sign their names and then leave. And then the students wonder why they’re failing their classes and have to become “superseniors.”

I have no idea where this term came from, but I know that there’s nothing super about spending five or six years in college.

Professors are usually aware of what you’re doing in class—or not in class, says the student who only shows up for the exams—and they probably don’t want you there any more than you want to be there. When students complain about their professors without any good reason to do so, they should remind themselves that they, not the professors,

Rivalry match needs your support Members of the BGSU student body and campus community I invite you to Make History Now! Tuesday evening, November 17 at 6 p.m., marks the 80th installment of the Battle of I-75 on the football field, and never before has there been so much riding on this epic rivalry.

Your Falcons have clinched the MAC East Division with an 8-0 conference record and earned a third straight trip to ‘BG North,’ a.k.a. Detroit. With The School Up North (TSUN) coming in with a conference record of 7-1, this game has national implications for both Universities.

WE NEED YOU, our student-body and loyal campus community, to come out in numbers never before seen to support your Falcons for victory! With a national television audience tuning in to see Bowling Green once again, it is up to all of us to join together and show the world what this great University and community is all about — right here in Bowling Green, Ohio.

This year has already seen many milestones for our football program - 2 BIG TEN wins; eclipsing 20,000 points alltime; back-to-back-to-back MAC East Division Championships; record setting offensive production - but we still have

D. Christopher Kingston Guest Columnist major accomplishments coming that we need your participation in, first hand, on Tuesday. They include: - Redshirt Senior Travis Greene breaking the BGSU all-time rushing record established by Falcon great Paul Miles in 1974 (2 yards to go!)

- Redshirt Senior Matt Johnson passing for over 4,000 yards as he continues to LEAD THE NATION in passing yardage and passing touchdowns (45 yards to go) - BGSU’s 40th victory all-time over TSUN (series record currently 39-36-4) - Do you need more than simply the ability to BEAT TSUN!?!?

In addition to all of these exciting elements of this year’s Battle of I-75, BGSU also remains very much alive in the national conversation regarding a bid to one of the New Year’s Six bowl games — an achievement that would shine a

positive light on both our University and Northwest Ohio.

To stay alive we need to continue to have success, and with your support there is no limit to how successful we can be!

I sincerely hope that those without class conflicts will be able to join us for this very special evening.

This is a special rivalry game with TSUN. This is about tradition. This is about bragging rights. This is about showing the nation what Bowling Green State University and the Falcons are all about.

Let’s go!

All the best on a safe and productive remainder of the fall semester and I look forward to seeing you all at the Doyt tomorrow night, 6p.m., #PackTheDoyt. Be part of what is happening at Your University — Honor The Past, Create The Future, and Make History Now! GO FALCONS! TALONS UP! BEAT TSUN!

signed themselves up for that class.

The point to all of this is that it’s fine to disagree with your professors’ methods of teaching. I’ve had professors that don’t grade my work, sit at their desks and put their heads down or email us our assignments the night before they’re due. But I’ve never complained about a grade I’ve been given if I consistently skip class or spend my time chatting about going out on Friday night.

Students need to start taking some of the blame for themselves, and if they realize that college isn’t for them because they spend more time at clubs or on Facebook than they do on their schoolwork, they need to reconsider spending twenty-thousand dollars—give or take a few thousand—elsewhere.

One of the Relay for Life tri-chairs, Mia Giano, said, “You could actually hear the music, and it was a lot better. I liked how it wasn’t just in the middle, it was up there (on stage) and everyone was able to see it.”

Relay for Life has been held in the Track Room at the Perry Field House, but the room is currently under renovations.

Earlier this year Colleges Against Cancer leadership looked into other location options for the event before deciding to hold it in the PFH Turf Room.

“It was definitely a change having it in the turf room,” Clemens said.

Abbie Joy, vice president of Colleges Against Cancer, said that while the turf room was different, she really liked the new location.

“I like that we were able to have all the tables facing each other, so instead of all the tables facing out and everyone’s backs to each other ... everyone was able to face the same direction and see what activities were going on in the center,” Joy said.

Giano said one of her favorite parts was seeing how well everything worked out because in past years it had been so crowded.

“We’ve pretty much already made an executive decision that it will be held in (the Turf Room) again,” Giano said.

“This year we plan to continue the fight,” Joy said.

No events are confirmed, but Colleges Against Cancer has several events in the works for spring semester. Possible events include some sort of obstacle course and a carnival-themed event.

Falcons win season opener at home Aaron Parker Sports Editor The Bowling Green men’s basketball team started their season with a 79-61 win over New Orleans. The game was the first official game under new head coach Michael Huger.

The Falcons were led by redshirt freshman Rasheed Worrell, who had 15 points, seven rebounds and one block in the game.

In addition to Worrell there were three other Falcons who ended in double figures.

Wes Alcegaire had 14, Antwon Lillard had 13 and Zack Denny had 11.

“It’s not an individualized team. We are all in the gym working,” Worrell said.

“Different players have to get set for different things.”

The game was also the first for Worrell, who sat all of last year as a redshirt. In practice last season, he had the opportunity to

improve his game going up against Falcon star Richaun Holmes, who is now playing NBA basketball with the Philadelphia 76ers.

“Last year I battled Richaun every day,” Worrell said. “I learned how to be explosive like him, that’s what I try to do. Play low to the ground and when the ball comes your way around the basket you have to go up strong.”

The Falcons shot an efficient 45.5 percent from the field as a team and a less efficient 26.1 percent from the three point line.

Either way, Kruger believes the team got through the beginning season jitters and are now ready to lock in for the season.

“It’s definitely a relief. Now you can just go out and play,” said Kruger. “Now our guys know we have that first win under our belt. Now we can just go out and play the next game and that’s what we’re looking for against Cincinnati.”

The team won a lot of the little battles in the stat sheet, which led to the 18 point victory. The Falcons beat out New Orleans

“It’s not an individualized team. We are all in the gym working. Different players have to get set for different things” — Rasheed Worrell, Redshirt Freshman in second chance points 13-6, fast break points 10-9, bench points 31-27, points in the paint 38-30 and tied in points off turnovers 16-16.

The team also moved the ball well, racking up 13 points in the assists column compared to New Orleans eight.

Most of that dominance came in the second half, shooting almost a full 10 percent better than in the first. At the 6:54 mark in the second the Falcons held their largest lead at 24.

The team lost a lot of experience between seasons and saw a lot of production from new faces in game one of the season.

“The new guys did a great job of stepping up,” Huger said. “Rasheed especially, he established himself early ... and Wesley did the same thing. He took better shots today. And Antwon is just special. He’s a special player that you don’t come across very often.”

The team will be in action again this Wednesday against Cincinnati at 7 p.m. in the Stroh.

Volleyball ends season with losses

Bowling Green hockey during a game against Lake Superior State earlier this season. BGSU is ranked 14th nationally.

Hockey splits two games against ranked Michigan Tech

By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green men’s hockey team lost to the Michigan Tech Huskies 2-0 in their first match in the two game set on Friday night, but rebounded to defeat them 3-2 on Saturday night.

The Falcons stayed in contention for most of the first game, after allowing a goal 22 seconds into the first period by junior defenseman Cliff Watson, with an assist from senior forward Alex Petan to put Michigan Tech up 1-0 early.

The score remained the same until late in the third period, when Michigan Tech sophomore defenseman Matt Roy took advantage of a power play opportunity off a cross-checking penalty taken by junior defenseman Sean Walker to make it 2-0 Michigan Tech.

Junior defenseman Chris Leibinger and junior forward Reid Sturos were given assists on the goal, as the Falcons suffered their first

shutout of the season.

“We didn’t win enough battles to create enough offense,” Head Coach Chris Bergeron said. “We had three power plays in the first period and only got two shots off of those. We’re a group that’s trying to figure things out.”

The second game went better for the Falcons, as the team held a 2-1 lead through the first period on the strength of two power play goals, scored by sophomore forward Tyler Spezia and freshman defenseman Matt Pohlkamp at 10:48 and 11:41, respectively. Michigan Tech tied it up with a goal from senior forward Malcolm Gould at 5:32 of the second, but senior forward Mark Cooper scored for the Falcons at the 4:09 mark of the third period, giving the team the 3-2 victory.

“This was a gutsy performance by our group,” Bergeron said. “It’s our responsibility to ourselves, not to our expectations, to focus on the things we can control, which is our level of intensity on a daily basis.”

The Bowling Green-Michigan State matchup pitted two of the best teams in the country against each other, with the Falcons ranked 14th in U.S. College Hockey Online rankings coming into the series, while Michigan Tech placed 20th in the same rankings.

In addition to the teams’ national rankings, the teams were able to renew their rivalry with each other, not just as fellow Western Collegiate Hockey Association members, but also after Michigan Tech defeated the Falcons in the WCHA Final Five last season.

“We’re developing a good rivalry with them,” Bergeron said. “They’re a top group, they’re a program that we want to be like ... we know that they’re still trying to find their 15-16 identity as well, but they’re really good at home and they’ve got a bunch of really good players.”

The Falcons’ next opponents will be the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers, whom they will face at home both Friday and Saturday.

The Bowling Green Falcons went up against Miami University and Northern Illinois University but fell short in both games. The final score against Miami was 3-1 and the final against MAC West leader NIU was 3-0.

The Falcons held up for a long stretch over Miami, where both Jelena Sunjic and Katie Scholten registered their seventh double-double of the season, but it was not enough to hold up against the Redhawk’s aggressive offense. The final set scores were 25-18, 19-25, 25-10 and 28-26.

“This was definitely a much better match against Miami than the first time we played them,” head coach Danijela Tomic said. “Offensively we were better if you take out the third set, the third set just wasn’t good. But the other three, especially the second set where we hit .400 and the fourth set .256 our offense was better.”

Sunjic pulled in 13 kills, 11 digs and two assists while setter Scholten held 37 assists and 11 digs. Alyssa Maloney had 13 kills, three assists and two aces in the game and Nicole Slimko had 15 kills, which was a personal match record.

Sunjic, Maloney and Slimko made up 41 out of the 51 kills that were made in the game.

“Overall I thought Katie Scholten did a nice job running,” Tomic said, “Our hitters Alyssa Maloney, Jelena Sunjic and Nicole Slimko had a really good and nice offensive match.”

BGSU was able to hold even to Miami during the match, tying or taking the lead several times.

The Orange and Brown were able to pick up the pace in the fourth set, where they were tied over ten times and were able to gain a decent lead at one point, 18-15. The set remained a tough fight for both teams as they were tied 25-25 at the end of the fourth.

However, Bowling Green was not able to hold their pace and dropped the set 26-28 giving Miami the win.

“The fourth set was just a heartbreaker, we had our chance,” Tomic said. “We just couldn’t close that set to go on to take it to the fifth set.”

The Falcons final match was against Northern Illinois University. Katie Scholten was not able to play during the game, causing a major shift in gameplay.

“She set for us all season long and unfortunately she suffered a concussion on Thursday and she was not able to play today,” Tomic said. “Our two defensive specialists who have never set in high school nor college and they did an amazing job. Delaney Arkeilpane and Madeline Garda stepped up and we competed really well against the best team in the MAC.” The two defensive specialists, Arkeilpane and Garda, carried out 26 assists throughout the match. Slimko had 14 kills on a .346 attack percentage, while Maloney and Isabel Kovacic added 12 kills for the match.

The Falcons took a loss 3-0 against the Huskies, 25-19, 25-15 and 25-15. The season concludes with a 7-22 overall record and ended MAC play 3-13. NIU is now the 2015 MAC Volleyball Regular Season champion, with a 14-2 in MAC play.

Students feel pride in celebrating countries

By Michele Mathis and Caroline Estel BG News Staff

ANY PET FRIENDLY PLACES TO LIVE?

The annual World Student Association International Dinner was held last Saturday in the Bowling Green Student Union as a part of International Education Week.

The theme was Travel to Paradise, with a focus on a Mediterranean atmosphere.

Miguel Nava Jr., the vice president of WSA, said that each year the overarching theme changes. “(This year) we focused on what we call paradises. Last year we had almost like an Italy theme, this year it’s Mediterranean.”

Nava said that the University dining services provides the food according to their theme every year.

While the talent and food is a key component of the International Dinner, attendees have looked forward to this for a wide variety of reasons.

Michele Doenges, an Asians Studies major, said that her interest in attending the dinner was sparked from her desire to travel and explore different cultures.

Doenges is a part of the University’s Global Village, a learning community available to students in Kohl Hall. The Global Village includes domestic and international students, making the curriculum modern and culturally diverse.

Attendees were strongly encouraged to come dressed in native dress if they were comfortable.

Hanui Choi, a criminal justice student, was wearing a traditional dress from her native country, Hanbok.

Choi said that wearing this outfit for the ceremony made her feel pride in her country.

Commission discusses clean streets

By Holly Shively City Editor

Bowling Green residents may see green business certifications and cleaner neighborhoods in the near future after City-University Relations Commission discussions Tuesday night.

Proceeding under new elected leaders including Co-chairs Daniel Gordon, city council president pro tem, and Lisa Mattiace, University President Chief of Staff, as well as secretary Michael Oiler, a second-year graduate student at the University, the CityUniversity Commission invited city Public Works Director Brian Kraft to inform attendants about downtown litter problems.

Kraft said there has particularly been a litter problem across from CVS in the Market Square and near the complex where Domino’s Pizza is located, specifically on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, when Domino’s sells large quantities of pizza by the slice in a box.

“The first 10 or 15 of them fit in the trash cans, but the hundreds after them

Both Choi and Alijabr participated in the dinner’s fashion show.

Aljiabr’s host family came to support him participating in the dinner.

Betty Laukhin, an alumna of the University, said that hosting international students has become a joy for her and her family.

“My life feels enriched by (hosting),” she said. “It has created one little united nation for me.”

Laukhin said that she is always looking for community members to host international students in the International Friendship Program, a program that she has been a part of for 40 years.

Through all the programming and the food, the feeling of happiness was present in the ballroom.

Hideo Nishibeqqu, a student in the ESL program, was the representative to carry the Japanese flag.

Nishibeqqu describe his emotion when carrying the flag simply as “Happy.”

Nava said a sense of home is common for the attendees of the dinner.

“I think it’s important to have the students to experience the international dinner because most of them are away from home,” he said. “They have this one dinner… where they can say, ‘I feel at home.

At this dinner, I can feel what it feels like to be at home.’”

Continued from Page 13 The commission made the conclusion to contact Dr. Nick Hennessey, University sustainability coordinator, and Amanda Gambey, Wood County’s environmental educator, to discuss these concerns and report back at the next meeting with a list of qualifications to become a green business in the city of Bowling Green.

“Many of the elements are in place, it’s just taking that little extra step,” Mayor Edwards said.

Mattice suggested working towards the implication of some sort of green business program as a New Year’s resolution.

The commission also decided to work towards implementing the Adopt a Neighborhood Program, a program that had been in planning stages last year but was never implemented. The idea behind the program is that the Undergraduate Student Government would request that each Greek organization on Campus would adopt a neighborhood to clean up and care for.

“On one hand we’re cleaning up the neighborhoods. On the other hand we’re also reversing those stereotypes that we have of students,” Gordon said. He explained that members of Greek life are often seen as nuisances in the community, whether rightly or wrongly.

The commission decided to plan a public forum in January to get community input on this issue.
