University engages in volunteer service

Freshman Blake Preice writes thank you cards to veterans for Giving Tuesday in the Multipurpose Room.

Students who are passionate about giving back to the community spent 265 hours and 40 minutes of service hours at the University’s second annual Giving Tuesday.

175 students participated in the event, hosted in the Union Multipurpose Room on December 1.

The amount of service hours spent by students were not included by the swipes given

by Falcon Care.

Students and organizations such as The Cocoon Shelter, The American Red Cross and Food for Thought united together to give back to those who may struggle this holiday season.

“Organizations and students involved wrote thank you letters to veterans and made disaster relief bags for The Red Cross,” said Madison Livingston, the organizer of the event. “The Cacoon Shelter decorated lunch bags to be distributed to a homeless shelter

in Toledo. There were also donations of items (to) comfort kids like shampoo, basic hygiene products as well as non-perishable food.”

Those participating in Giving Tuesday were challenged by alumni Gregg and Darlene Decrane who said they would donate a dollar for every hour of service up to $500.

“This is the first time that students have participated on campus, it was amazing to see so many organizations and students in a steering committee come together and participate and plan for the event,” said Livingston.

The event was also put together with the help of the Student Philanthropy Committee, to provide participants with an on-site learning opportunity and a chance to spread joy to more people this December.

“I think it was a really awesome experience, it was good to write letters to the kids.

In their situation they might not receive as much as other people this season, and we

Censorship not answer to bigotry According to the Pew Research Center, 40 percent of millenials (ages 18 - 34) think that the government should be able to prevent people from making statements that are offensive to minority groups.

Where should I begin?

I want to start by granting this demographic’s good intentions.

The western world, as we well know, has a terrible rap with handling diversity. We have culturally imperialised and degraded people of color for not just the last century, but millenia after millenia. Now we are really starting to see a revived civil revolution. We want people to treat people like they are people. What a novel idea.

This generation is sick of hearing our parents and older politicians and the media continue to ignore, or worse insult the diverse peoples of America. So those children of diversity are crying out all over the nation. That is a good thing.

However, censoring speech never is.

In fact, it is delusional. While the anger from which this response spawns is

bg

Tabitha Holowka Forum Editor absolutely justified, the solution proposed is absolutely not; it comes blindly from the emotional response without regard to what censoring speech actually means.

Freedom of speech is a right. When you strip rights from some people and not others, they get upset. You can bet that people would get even more disgruntled if they were not granted their bigotry.

Requiring the government to come down on those whose views are regarded as offensive could ultimately be spun right back against us. The biggest flaw with the wording, “offensive to minorities” is how relative it is. What constitutes a minority?

It may seem clear to us now, but how would future generations interpret that?

that obscenities were not protected by the first amendment and could therefore be censored. What is an obscenity? Well, we form a group, like the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for film and TV Parental Guidelines Committee for television, and those appointed get together and decide.

For John Waters to title his film “Pecker” he had to convince the MPA A, who considered it obscene. Hilarious right? I mean, sure, he intended to be racy, but it still seems silly.

Those rules were enacted to protect children and adults who were offended.

But legislating offense is an inconceivably enormous task, and that is my point.

If you don’t like offensive and exclusionary speech, I encourage you to create your own with loving and inclusive messages. Really, I think that is more important anyway.

No cleanliness in war, end the glamour

I want to talk about war.

War is evil. War is wicked. War’s only purpose is the killing of people on either side of any given battlefield. War is blood.

War is pain. War is death. War is not PG-13.

I recently saw the movie “Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2.” It was appalling. Not in the sense of how it should have appalled me. No. I was appalled by the audacity of war being made to fit a PG-13 rating.

There was very little blood. There was very little screaming. No carnage of any kind. It was actually very clean, so to speak.

A man has his legs blown off by a land mine. No blood.

A woman gets shrapnel to the leg. No blood. No screaming.

Several people are literally ripped apart.

No blood. Some screaming. The guy at the end was laughing, actually.

Bombs tear apart a city. Bombs blow people up. There are bullets being sprayed into a crowd.

No blood. Mild screaming. Very little carnage if any at all.

That’s not war.

Don’t get me wrong here. I am not some lover of gore. I am not a hardcore fan of violence. I don’t actually want to see the

Continued from Page 3 out of our way to prevent that bigoted offensive speech from being written into laws and constitutions.

But, inviting censorship simply has too many deeply concerning implications.

Consider them. My hope is that you will come to the conclusion that free speech is the single most important right of the modern world, and limiting it in any way would be ultimately f lawed and only open the flood-gates for other rights to be lost. A slippery slope, maybe, but worth considering nonetheless.

Bryan Eberly Columnist real effects of war.

Basically, because I already have. I have seen people shot. I have seen people blown up. I have helped spray blood out of a Humvee after an IED ripped through it.

I have heard the screams. I have been through war.

What I saw on the screen was not war.

It was clean entertainment. Gripping and thrilling, and absolutely disgusting in how it was portrayed.

It brought to mind how desensitized the American public allows themselves to be in regards to war. I brought this up a few semesters ago, but it bears repeating.

America doesn’t seem to grasp what war is, which is frightening considering we are the constant victors in a perpetual supposed “war on terrorism,” and have been both committing and suffering horrendously violent acts for more than a decade now.

And if you don’t come to that conclusion and think that bigots should be silenced... while I can’t blame you, I will point out how fascist that is and encourage you to bone up on your 1900s history.

I am partial to the cliché, “I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” So even in the case of people who say offensive speech should be censored, I support your right to say so. But I hope that you will grant me my own rights and maybe engage in a discussion.

But I don’t t hink t he A merica n public, by and large, gets it. (Excuse my collectivism here).

For the American public, war has become bumper stickers. It has become catch phrases for politicians. It has become beer commercials and restaurants celebrating and gifting veterans. It has become country songs. War is being ignored.

So let me take the time to remind you what war actually is. I realize that this is a very weak platform for such a thing, because you can just stop reading at anytime, or flip the page and read about the hockey or basketball team’s latest loss.

Or you’ll just fold up the paper and either throw it away or put it back on the newsstand. So, I’m going to go ahead and let loose a little bit with my descriptions.

Trigger warning, I suppose.

War is a suicide bomber running into a crowd and detonating himself or herself.

The result of this is limbs, blood and viscera surrounding a burning caldera.

Broken glass and rubble from destructed buildings. Men, women and children screaming out in agony.

Imagine, war as a team of Marines releasing a firestorm of rounds in a city

street. Insurgents and allied forces both receive bullets tearing through their bodies. Blood spews, muscles detach, bone splinters and fragments fly out.

War is a bomb or a missile from an aircraft or drone hitting a hospital in order to take out supposed enemy forces within. Blood, body parts and viscera. Fire. Wounded children shrieking in pain. Imagine it.

Again, imagine it. Because that is what is going on in today’s battlefields and My point in all of this is simple. We can’t let war become an after thought. We can’t let war become status quo. We can’t just live our daily lives without giving attention to the atrocities committed against us and by us.

If you glean nothing else from my columns this semester, glean this: you can help stop war. Your tax dollars pay for it.

Your votes elect people who call for it.

Your apathy is certainly not doing anything but letting it continue.

What are you going to do about it? End war now.

Spotlight shines with intelligent direction

Michele Mathis Managing Editor Comparable to the four-time Oscar winning film “All The President’s Men,” “Spotlight” hinges on the slow and steady march to the truth and the overcoming narrative of good versus evil.

Tom McCarthy’s 2015 film “Spotlight”

opens the door for audiences to the Boston Globe’s investigative team that uncovered the sexual abuse and pedophilia in the Catholic Church in 2002.

The action begins in 2001 with the arrival of a new editor, Marty Baron (Liev Schrieber), from the Miami Herald. At the first editor’s meeting, Baron shows a clipping of a local priest charged with sexual assault and pushes editor Walter Robinson (Michael Keaton)

PHOTO PROVIDED

“Spotlight” focuses on a real life group of investigative reporters at the Boston Globe.

to take his investigative team to discover if it was an isolated incident.

Robinson’s team consists of three scraggly journalists: Matty Carroll (Brian d’Arcy James), a quiet but resourceful family man; Mike Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo), determined and pushy, the kind of journalist everybody is warned about; and Sacha Pfeiffer (Rachel McAdams), the quiet and intelligent type.

The movie focuses on the gritty and the flaws, rather than the glitz and the drama of being a journalist. “Spotlight” gains credit for making a simple movement a dramatic and poignant moment.

Much like “All The President’s Men,” you see the journalists with long nights in a reading room and close-ups on the large, dusty textbooks they had to rent out of the library.

Even without a strong musical score, the viewer’s attention is kept only in the strong emotional connection they develop with Robinson, Carroll, Rezendes and Pfeiffer.

The movie is made through the director’s perspective. McCarthy had a choice to turn a horrific piece of our world history into a feel-good story, but managed to create a piece of raw story-telling and show the audience how it affects us all. The question asked

by Robinson is, “Why didn’t I do more?”

Robinson and the journalist team act as our moral surrogates in this question, battling against the dilemma of hindsight and staying silent.

Michael Keaton shines in this movie, contestable with his performance in “Birdman,” showing us the burden it places on a person to stubbornly fight with what is right with the underlying feeling of stress from guilt and regret. Keaton pulls at us because he is us.

The only defect of “Spotlight” is lack of character development between the journalists. Much like many crime shows, such as “Numb3rs” or “Law & Order,” we catch glimpses of their personal lives only at work.

Carroll discovers he lives close to a priest predator, Pfeiffer worries over how her strict Catholic family will take the breaking of the information and Rezendes struggles with a failing marriage. It leaves much up to the viewer’s imagination and loses an additional emotional impact.

However, McCarthy ties the loss in with the original theme of guilt by using several blocks of screen time to release the city names that were investigated after the original 2002 investigation broke, leaving the viewers with the same question in mind, “Why didn’t I do more?”

Adele releases new music after long hiatus

Lauren Fitz Pulse Reporter

Hello, Adele, it’s me. I’m so glad you’re back in my life.

After a four-year hiatus, Adele came back to the music scene with the release of her much anticipated album, “25,” on Nov. 20.

In the album’s first week of being released, she broke the record for most albums sold in the first week, dethroning NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached” album released in 2000. “25” is also the best-selling album of 2015, knocking Taylor Swift’s “1989” from the top spot.

“25” takes on slightly different themes than her first two albums, as this album has some themes of everything that has been happening since the release of “21,” including songs “Water Under The Bridge” and “Sweetest Devotion,” which are about her boyfriend and her son, who is heard talking in the background of the song.

But if you’re still looking for the lost love themes that her earlier albums included, you’ll still find them in tracks like “Send My Love (To Your New Lover),” a cheeky track about letting go of a former flame.

“25” seems to showcase the wide vocal range that Adele is capable of singing. While she’s certainly not hitting whistle register notes like Mariah Carey or Ariana Grande can, she definitely explores her range, like in the track “When We Were Young,” where she sings and holds the note longer than I’ve heard in other songs of hers.

She also explores different singing techniques for each of the songs. “River Lea” takes on a grittier tone than the other songs on the album, while “Remedy” seems more like a lullaby or a promise to someone (most likely her son) that she won’t let anything happen to him.

The standout track on the album is the penultimate song, “All I Ask,” which was co-written

XXXXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XX XXXXX XXX XXXXXXX XXX PAGE XX

by Bruno Mars. The song, which talks about the last night of being with someone, brought me to tears the first time I heard it and I still get choked up when I listen to it.

As I listened to the album on repeat, I found that I could relate to each of the tracks in some different way. That is one of Adele’s strong points in her songwriting – being able to write about something that is personal to her, whether it’s about her love life or her family, and making it relatable for everyone who listens to the track.

One song, “A Million Years Ago” reminds me of missing someone but being excited for future.

If the song had been released when I started college two years ago, I’m sure I would have listened to it on repeat as I said goodbye to my mom on move-in day.

After waiting four years for new Adele music, “25” is everything one could have wished for when it comes to her music.

The standard CD is available on iTunes and

in many music stores. Target is the exclusive distributor of the deluxe album, which has three extra songs than the standard album.

PULSE Comedy show supports sexual assault victims

DECEMBER 3, 2015 | PAGE 6

Jennifer Verzuh Pulse Editor A fictional Starbucks employee got a musical ode in his honor Sunday night. “Taylor, the Latte Boy,” performed by Baylee Sheets, was one of several skits, songs, improv games and videos that made up the fourth annual Women in Comedy show.

The comedic event is put on by the University’s all-female comedy group, Lady Parts, and all the proceeds go to the sexual violence program at The Cocoon Shelter, a 24/7 advocacy program for sexual violence survivors that provides a variety of services in the community.

Heather Paramore, sexual violence program advocate at The Cocoon Shelter, expressed gratitude towards Lady Parts for their support, and said comedy is often helpful in the healing process for victims.

“I know we often get asked: Why comedy and sexual assault? What does that have to do with each other? I think it’s really important to keep in mind that comedy heals,” Paramore said. “I think it’s such an important thing after someone’s gone through a sexual assault is just focusing on healing, focusing on the good things in life. So, we’re really thankful for this show and this opportunity.”

T he show ’s a ssist a nt d i rec tor a nd one of L ady Pa r t s’ per for mer s a nd w r iters, sophomore Ca l l ie In k rot t, sa id a f r iend who had been i nvolved w it h t he g roup encou raged her to joi n, a nd she’s happy she d id because it’s been a g reat ex per ience.

“I was nervous to become a part of it but she really pushed me to do it,” Inkrott said. “It’s just such a group of positive women and comedy from women is some-

thing that’s pretty rare, so it’s really awesome to see such support in the feminist community and to just see everyone come together and put on an awesome show.

And it’s just a hilarious time.”

Senior Kelly McManamon, who came to support her friend Paige Driscoll, directed and performed in the show and agreed she really enjoyed the event.

“I thought it was really funny,” she said.

“I’m always really impressed by them.”

Supporting and raising awareness about the Cocoon Shelter was also an important part of the event, Inkrott said.

“I think that it’s awesome that we’re a group of basically feminist comedians and we are able to support a sexual violence program,” Inkrott said. “I think that is a big issue, on the college campus especially, and it’s really important that they get support.”

“Creed” packs a powerful punch Tyler Austin Pulse Reporter “Creed” is a movie I had modest expectations for. I was excited for a new movie in the “Rocky” movie franchise, but I lowered my expectations due to the over inflation of remakes, reboots and sequels of old movie franchises. A few turn out to be great (this year’s “Mad Max: Fury Road”), while most turn out to be dreadful to sit through (this year’s “Fantastic Four”).

However, “Creed” blew away my expectations to become one of this year’s best films.

“Creed” begins with Apollo Creed’s son, Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), quitting his financial job in order to pursue a boxing career that his mother, Mary Anne Creed (Phylicia Rashad), is strongly opposed to (she gives a harrowing speech about Apollo Creed’s injuries and eventual death from fighting in the ring). Adonis moves to Philadelphia in hopes of being trained by his father’s old friend, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). Rocky helps Adonis train in order to be an actual contender in professional boxing. Before his first professional fight, Adonis starts a fruitful romantic relationship with his neighbor, Bianca (Tessa Thompson). Adonis wins his first profession-

al fight and becomes an overnight sensation when word gets out that he is Creed’s illegitimate son. Rocky and Adonis get a call from the handlers of “Pretty” Ricky Conlan (Tony Bellew), the world light heavyweight champion. They offer Adonis to be Ricky’s final challenger. Rocky and Adonis train constantly and face their own personal battles.

What makes “Creed” stand out from the mainstream films this year is it is a very human tale about trying to prove yourself to the world, grief and abandonment. Adonis’ goal of getting out of his father’s shadow would not have worked if it was not for Jordan’s excellent performance. His performance brings vulnerability and charm to a character that always acts tough. Sylvester Stallone gives his best performance since, well, the first “Rocky.” He brings an all new dimension to a character we have watched for 40 years. He portrays him as a man who is content with his life and knows he doesn’t have a future because his career as a boxer is far behind him.

I have to mention that director/screenwriter Ryan Coogler and cinematographer Maryse Alberti bring realism back to a series that started as a down-to-earth underdog film and became an over-the-top farce later on. Ryan

brings the series back to its roots as an underdog story and reminds us why we fell in love with the series in the first place. Alberti does a spectacular job at making the film look realistic and performs fantastic one takes with such perfection that it seems like she can do it in her sleep (look out for one of the best shots of the year during the uninterrupted long take of the first professional fight).

I do have some very minor problems with the film, but they are easy to overlook. I thought some of the product placement was distracting at times (in particular the giant logo of HBO Sports during one scene). Also, I felt the love story was not thought out very well andd did not bring much to the story. However, overall, “Creed” is a superb sports film that anyone can enjoy even if you are not interested in boxing

The team looks to continue their success as they go on the road in two days to play Cleveland State at Quicken Loans Arena.

“We got our work cut out for us, the next 48 hours with their offense similar to Evansville we need to do a good job of not only being focused and preparation for a road game after a short turnaround,” Roos said.

By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green men’s hockey team will attempt to keep their five game winning streak alive against the top team in the WCHA standings, the Minnesota State Mavericks, on Friday and Saturday night at the BGSU Ice Arena.

The Falcons come into this weekend’s games sweeping both the Alabama Huntsville Chargers and Northern Michigan Wildcats in home series.

“We don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves,” Falcons head coach Chris Bergeron said. “But this is a good Litmus test to see where we are at the beginning of December and I hope our guys look at it as such.”

The team also feels that they don’t said. “We’ve constantly said that you can’t need to change much about the way teach experience, and when your experithey play, despite the ence is winning regular difficult opponent. season championships “We really don’t do much and playoff championdifferently in preparation,” ships… that’s some big Bergeron said. “We talk stuff.

“We want to play well at home, that’s what we want to keep alive.”

The team also views the strength of Minnesota State as a challenge, rather than an intimidation factor.

“We have lots of respect for Minnesota State, and I believe they have lots of respect for us,” Bergeron said. “We’re not intimidated or worried about it, it’s a good time to be playing this team.”

In addition to having a five game winning streak, the team also currently holds a four game home winning streak that they will also have a chance to add victories onto.

“We want to play well at home, that’s what we want to keep alive,” Bergeron said.

“The results will take care of themselves if we do that, this is a big time opponent, we get to play them at home and we’re looking forward to it. I think it’s a good opportunity for us at the right time.”

NEWS GIVING continued from Page 2 get them stuff and show them that they still matter,” said student participant, Brittany Carter-Steward.

Students around campus have many different reasons for why they chose to participate in Giving Tuesday, and why they strive to make an impact on the community surrounding the University.

“I’m actually from Isabella, Michigan, where statistically 31 percent of the population is living in poverty. Just having lived in a location where a lot of people don’t necessarily have all of the resources or support to succeed, that’s part of the driving force of me joining the committee,” said Brenden Dolehanty, “I have an actual opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people,” Dolehanty said.

Livingston said she couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work and effort put into Giving Tuesday.

“We weren’t sure how students were going to respond to it, but we had very much success, all together we made a really big impact and have done a lot of good for the community and university,” Livingston said.

Organization donates goods for Christmas

By Rachel Kielar Reporter Tis the season for receiving gifts, but for most, giving is equally as important.

H2O, a University organization and church designed to impact the campus and city of Bowling Green, recently held their annual fundraiser, Operation Christmas Child, geared toward children in need across the globe.

The event was held from November 16-20 with over 25 groups participating.

H20 managed to develop the fundraiser more this year and 101 boxes were filled and sent.

Courtney Spears, an organizer of the event, is thrilled to be able to give back in this way.

“It’s great to be able to give these things to children who otherwise might not receive anything during the holiday season,” she

said. “We’re blessed by how much it’s grown over the years and with the number of people who took the time to get involved.”

According to theleafchroncicle.com, the idea for the fundraiser began in 1990 in the aftermath of the fall of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

David and Jill Cooke, from Wrexham, Wales, became concerned with the plight of the countless Romanian orphans whose lives had fallen into tumult following the tremendous societal and political changes in their country.

That Christmas, the Cooke’s organized a convoy of nine trucks and delivered medical supplies, clothing, food and Christmas gifts to children in Romania.

In 1993, Samaritan’s Purse “adopted” the program and began supporting children

Operation Christmas Child is unique in how it generates and delivers assistance.

“It’s great to be able

to give these things to children who otherwise might not receive anything during the holiday season.”

- Courtney Spears, Event Organizer Volunteers are encouraged to put a collection of gifts into shoeboxes and bring them to one of the nearly 4,000 drop-off centers across the country.

DECEMBER 3, 2015 | PAGE 11

Gifts are at the discretion of the givers – within certain guidelines – and have included gloves, socks, dolls, toy trucks, school supplies and hygiene items such as toothbrushes.

Participants are also encouraged to include personal notes, photos and even return addresses. Many who have given in recent years have developed ongoing relationships with children who have received their gifts.

Though those who donate cannot choose exactly where their boxes will end up, delivery to at least six continents is guaranteed.

Participants can select the age range of the child they wish to support – 2 to 4, 5 to 9 or 10 to 14 – and whether they prefer a boy or girl.

They can also follow their gift online and see where it is sent. First-time participants can receive “Go Boxes” from Samaritan’s Purse to help get started with their donation.
