what the FRACK?

Student to ‘link’ board, University

By Eric Lagatta Campus Editor

WHAT IS FRACKING?

David Westmeyer III was sitting in his summer chemistry class on July 15 when a restricted phone call got his attention.

When the caller, Gov. John Kasich, told him he was appointed as the undergraduate representative to the Board of Trustees at the University, David Westmeyer Westmeyer felt both humbled and Undergraduate excited. representative As Westmeyer on the Board recalls the conof Trustees versation, Kasich, who chooses every Board of Trustees representative in Ohio, said: “‘Congratulations, you should be very proud,’” and then, “‘Call your mom and let her know she should be proud.’”

After that, Westmeyer, a junior majoring in economics, did indeed call his mom to tell her he accomplished the goal he set for himself the moment he stepped foot on campus.

“I felt inspired to do the best I can,” he said. “Very few people get to do this.”

Westmeyer was one of 10 applicants who applied for the two-year post this past year.

USG Vice President David Neely chaired the student-run committee charged with interviewing the appli-

Hydraulic fracking releases gas and oil from the earth by blasting a mixture of sand, water and chemicals to break the shale rock trapping it.

WHY DO WE CARE? Because of fracking in eastern Ohio, some residents fear it could happen here. Earthquakes and contaminated water are allegedly linked to the consequences of fracking.

“There is no other way for us to protect our city,” said Kochheiser, a member of Protect BG, a group of citizens who circulated a petition to amend the city charter around town during the summer to bring it

Plagiarism policy to be put under microscope by USG Goal is to make policy more clear, fair for students

By Kendra Clark In Focus Editor

If a student commits academic dishonesty, whether it’s by copying a single line or an entire paper, the punishment for plagiarism may be equally severe.

This is why members of the Undergraduate Student Government want to review the policy.

USG President Alex Solis believes the University’s academic honesty policy is out of date, and potentially harmful to students who are victims of simple mistakes.

“You may never be accused of academic dishonesty, I hope that is the case,” Solis said. “But certain circumstances may arise where students may make a mistake, just a simple mistake. There is a difference between copying the whole paper than mis-citing something.

We seem to be behind the time.”

As the policy stands now, if students are accused of plagiarism, it’s the responsibility of instructors to meet with the offenders and discipline them, according to the Academic Charter. The academic

deans handle actions such as suspension and expulsion. Students can appeal the decision to the Academic Honesty Committee, made up of faculty, undergraduates and graduate students.

Solis feels there should be a set guide for the committee that is more protective of students.

“It’s up to the discretion of the board that hears the case,” Solis said. “There is no protection or set guidelines that address these types of problems.”

But USG Vice President David Neely said the repercussions for plagiarizing should take into account whether the offense was purposeful or accidental.

“Right now it’s a one size fits all policy, so no matter what sort of plagiarism it is, whether it is one line or one entire paper, it’s the same path that you follow,” Neely said.

Sue Houston, vice provost for Academic Affairs, isn’t opposed to a change in the policy.

McDonald Hall reopens after years of renovations

By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor

After being under construction for three years, McDonald Hall has been fully re-opened.

The renovations cost approximately $10.5 million with $9.3 million approved by the Board of Trustee’s and $1.2 million invested

by Residence Life, said Sarah Waters, director of Residence Life.

The renovations to McDonald began when the University began to build the Oaks dining hall.

“Starting three or four years ago

we took off part of the west wing, and the next summer we took off part of the east wing,” Waters said.

One major thing that was changed was that instead of there being a front desk in each wing there is now one that has been moved to North College to give “one primary strong entrance to the building,” Waters said.

“We have had just one front desk in North for the past five years,” Waters said. “Some of the flow in and out of the building didn’t make much sense.”

Columnist Chance Stoodt writes about the campus-wide smoking ban that takes effect in January 2014. Stoodt says bans like this always have unforeseen consequences. | PAGE 4

Austin Flores, a McDonald resident, said the building has a much better feel to it than it used to have.

“When you walk in the front doors you feel like you’re walking to a highclass building,” he said. “It’s so much more welcoming.”

The residence hall still does not have air conditioning, but it has other new features.

Waters said they tore out the old non-moveable furniture and added in new moveable furniture.

The Office of Campus Sustainability is advocating a “campus sustainability strategy” as they strive to continue to be a green University.

This year, the office will implement many new changes that all revolve around this plan.

“This plan has three main goals that each project we are working on will fall into,” said Nick Hennessy, sustainability coordinator in the Office of Campus Sustainability.

The three-part strategy consists of the reduction of emissions, waste reduction and resource conservation, and sustainability education, outreach and awareness.

RENOVATIONS ON McDonald Hall were recently completed.

From there, University President Mary Ellen Mazey approved and sent the names to the governor’s office, who then made the final choice.

Neely said his committee was in consensus about Westmeyer’s qualifications for the job.

“What stood out about David the most was his passion for BG,” Neely said. “I think he has a good understanding of what students want and where the University wants to go.”

As the undergraduate student representative to the board, Westmeyer will be the link between the board and students; he’ll both relay student feedback to the board and also relay info from the board back to the students,

Air conditioning was not added because of the additional $3 million it would have cost, Waters said.

Senior Natosha Lilliard said educating the student body more is a great start.

“I think it would be cool to inform students on how much things we waste per day like food, electricity and water to help us make more cautious decisions,” Lilliard said. “Make students aware of the consequences that would happen if we don’t start to be more cautious.”

and rebuilt it, what we would rebuild would be state of the art like Centennial or Falcon Heights,” he said.

Research was done to see if other schools still offer low cost residence halls without air conditioning, Krakoff said, and “it is still an accepted practice.”

The entrance to the building also now offers a two-story lobby with a social lounge, and a new kitchen.

The safety in the residence hall has also been upgraded, Waters said.

“We upgraded the PED system in the building, and we have cameras at all of the entrances,” she said.

Neely said.

The position is an important one, as the Board of Trustees is the last stop for any major change at the University, Neely said. Recent action from the board include an approval of the 2 percent increase in tuition this fall and the smoking ban that goes into effect in January.

“My role is very much to show the board these decisions don’t just effect some students. They effect all students in different ways,” Westmeyer said. “[Students] can reach out to me.”

Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as fracking, is a way to extract oil and gas trapped in pockets of shale by blasting a water and sand mixture into a well to fracture the rock and release the resource.

As there are 125 wells in eastern Ohio that use fracking, some residents fear it could happen here. This activity could damage the environment, as it has allegedly contaminated aquifers in Pennsylvania and possibly increased earthquakes in Youngstown, Ohio.

No companies indicated they would use fracking in Wood County, said Mark Bruce, spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

“Companies have tried a handful of times [several years ago] and failed,” Bruce said.

The attempts failed because the type of shale in Northwest Ohio is too dense to fracture the rock, whereas the shale in eastern Ohio is easier to break through, he said.

While the state denies fracking could happen in

and comes with a full-tuition scholarship.

Apart from interacting with the 99 other student leaders in PLA, Westmeyer is part of Student Ambassadors for the College of Business and a member of VanGuard, which helps men develop character.

“When I got onto campus, I wanted to be involved in every single thing,” he said. “I wanted to be someone that people were impressed by. I wanted to feel like I left my mark..”

Westmeyer said he learned fast that it’s more important for him to be dedicated to a few responsibilities than to stretch himself too thin.

“What I found is that no one is impressed by how much you can talk about yourself or even how much you can accomplish,” he said. “People are impressed at how you can accomplish something with humility and selflessness.”

David Denison, an admis-

tain refill systems because I don’t want to spend the money buying plastic water bottles all the time,” Gibbons said. “It’s so convenient when I have classes all day.”

While the Office of Campus Sustainability has spent a lot of time with reduction of emissions, which is goal number one, Hennessy said each goal in the plan interrelates to one desired outcome, more community interaction to help reach these goals to save money for everyone.

Lilliard also believes it is important for students to promote a greener campus because, “it will create a better environment, which is better for everyone,” she said.

“I think it’s important for us

the region, Kochheiser isn’t taking any chances.

“There are already wells [in Wood County], but to make wells profitable, they use fracking to stimulate the wells,” Kochheiser said. “The purpose of [the amendment] is to give people a way to protect their families and health.”

Bob Vincent, emeritus professor of geology at the University, said stimulating the wells in Wood County could bring the fracking fluid to the surface. The oil and gas are only 1,200 feet below the surface, compared to 5,000 to 6,000 in eastern Ohio, where it’s safer.

In Wood County, there are eight oil and gas wells, and none use fracking, Bruce said.

Gas and oil pockets in northwest Ohio also contain enough pressure to naturally push up the resource when opened by a drill, he said.

Amending the city charter in November worries Mayor Richard Edwards and the city administration.

The city charter and the amendment “don’t match up,” Edwards said.

“These are two different documents.”

The city charter outlines how the city government should function, Edwards

to explore other sources to be more green,” Hennessy said.

Even though projects Hennessy’s office worked on in previous years have gone as planned, he said there are always ways to improve.

We have to consider how much time goes into a project and “we are expanding more than retracting,” Hennessy said.

The department is looking into partnering and collaborating more with other companies to network.

“We realize that we need partnerships from other departments, companies or organizations in order to make our projects happen,” Hennessy said. “It’s something we value.”

“There are already wells [in Wood County], but to make wells profitable, they use fracking to stimulate the wells.”

Lisa Kochheiser | Resident said. The proposed charter amendment not only proposes outlawing fracking and storage of wastewater, but creation of “fossil fuel” production facilities such as pipelines and storage facilities.

To try and appease the petitioners, City Attorney Mike Marsh developed an ordinance that only bans fracking as a way to better approach the issue. City Council introduced the legislation at it’s Aug. 19 meeting.

To Kochheiser, an ordinance isn’t enough, as Ohio has preempted cities’ fracking ban ordinances in the past.

But, the state government hasn’t overturned a city charter yet and “that’s why we’re trying it,” Kochheiser said.

SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS TO BEGIN OR CONTINUE THIS YEAR: —Friday Night Lights, where students flip the light switches in buildings around campus during the weekends.

—Green Tailgating, where each person tailgating is handed a green recycling bag to fill to help reduce waste.

—Water bottle refill systems —Green Office Certified, where offices change certain things around that consider them environmentally friendly and are approved by the Office of Sustainability.

—Student internships and volunteers, students can work for the Campus of Sustainability to help put these plans into action.

The other concern the city has is the charter’s “antibusiness” stance which prohibits production facilities, Edwards said.

Manufacturers in town believe the amendment could impede future growth by not allowing them to get water or air permits since the amendment calls for clean resources, said Sue Clark, executive director of the Bowling Green Community Development Foundation.

This could affect the 40 manufacturers in town, Clark said.

Some students see the amendment as a strong statement to the government.

“It definitely lets people know what we want to see happen,” said University junior Derek Smith who has researched fracking.

Smith agrees with the amendment because “the risks to the environment aren’t worth the costs of getting natural gas.”

While Kochheiser understands the city’s concern, she doesn’t think it’s worth the risk.

The fact that the amendment might not coincide with the city charter is concerning because “the damage to human health and the environment is a more compelling argument,” she said.

sions counselor and a 2013 University graduate, has been friends with Westmeyer for two years. In the time Denison has known Westmeyer, he said he’s noticed his charisma and maturity.

“Wherever David goes and whoever he talks to, he’s articulate and he expresses ideas,” Denison said. “He’s a great representative of BGSU as a student.”

Now that Westmeyer is about to commence his term as the undergraduate representative to the Board of Trustees, he will use his past experiences, and the lessons he’s learned from them, to help him as he takes on the new role.

“I knew I was in a place where I was ready to step up and give back in a bigger way,” he said. “Experiences that allow you to help other people are so much more fulfilling than experiences that allow you to help yourself.”

Podcast gains popularity, listeners draw fan art

“Welcome to Night Vale” brings people together

By Dylanne Petros Copy Chief

“Welcome to Night Vale” is the newest podcast teenagers and adults are obsessing over.

“Welcome to Night Vale” is a free podcast that is released on iTunes twice a month, according to the website.

The podcast is a set up like a radio show, set in the fictitious desert town, Night Vale. The main character in the podcast is Cecil, who explains to the audience of the supernatural things that are happening in the town.

“Welcome to Night Vale” started in June 2012, but did not gain popularity until it became the No. 1 downloaded podcast on iTunes in July 2013.

Instructor of popular culture, Charles Coletta, has some theories on why the podcast gained popularity throughout the summer.

“Sometimes there is a new character that is introduced or somehow it gets out in the public or is promoted somewhere,” Coletta said.

Podcasts were popular when they first started in 2005.

“I think it’s mainly due to the rise of iTunes. It was the only way you could get your own homemade radio show basically out to the public,” Coletta said.

After podcasts started though, they slowly declined in popularity but “Welcome to Night Vale” could be changing that.

Podcasts can gain popularity in many ways, but word of mouth is often the fastest way to get the word out.

Freshman Aubrey Below first heard about “Welcome to Night Vale” from her sister.

“I like listening to it because it’s an interesting story to listen to,” she said.

On the other hand, senior Lauren Lee likes listening to the podcast because it’s weird and it has a morbid sense of humor.

“I worked in a factory over the summer and I listened to music while I worked,” Lee said. “I heard about it on Tumblr and decided to download all of the episodes. Then I listened to it while I worked and loved it.”

Lee loves “Welcome to Night Vale” for many reasons.

“The main character on the show, Cecil, has a crush on another male character named Carlos,” Lee said.

“In one of the more recent episodes Cecil and Carlos went on a date and are close to officially dating. I like it because gay couples aren’t common and I feel like the podcast is helping the media to progress.”

Podcasts bring people together, Coletta said, which is one reason they’re popular.

Since “Welcome to Night Vale” is a radio show, descriptions of the characters aren’t given.

This means there are many people who draw the characters and post the pictures online.

The art that people draw for the podcasts helps people get excited for the new episodes. Also, fans will discuss episodes at length through websites like Tumblr and talk about what they think will happen next.

“A lot of supernatural stuff goes on and it is addicting,” Lee said.

A FEW instructors at the University have collectable items in their office consisting of toy figures, posters and records.

Faculty decorate offices with rarities, memorabilia

By Seth Weber Web Editor

Though many faculty members might just have an office, a few of them try to make it feel like home.

Popular Culture instructor Matt Donahue’s office is decorated wall-to-wall with poster collages, action figures and records.

Donahue’s collection started when he was a child.

He began collecting papers

and posters which he used to make collages and branched off into 3-D things.

He enjoys collecting things because each item he has brings back memories.

“Artifacts for me have a connection to a place that I’ve been or maybe a place that has a personal connection to me,” he said.

Donahue also sees his collection as a type of work of art, which he gathers his items from places such as

Goodwill, garage sales and gifts from friends.

“I really sort of akin this to a work of art,” he said. “Doing a room like this is basically kind of like making what they call an artistic environment.

It’s something I take seriously. A lot of people might think, ‘well, you know, is this really serious artwork?’ It is serious artwork.”

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “I think that students should get a 0 for the assignment depending on what the assignment is.”

KASSIDY SMITH Sophmore, Nursing

Smoking ban will infringe on students’ rights CHANCE STOODT COLUMNIST

Beginning next year, Bowling Green State University will attempt to accomplish a very difficult task: tell 35 percent of the student body that they can no longer freely smoke on campus.

Of course, many of you will continue smoking— and the University is fine with that, so long as you’re in an ill-lit space on campus or in a dark alley off of it.

Student smokers living on campus may be forced to put themselves in dangerous situations for the sake of some students who maybe think smoking is kind of gross sometimes.

Having said that, it’s unlikely that students will change their behaviors.

Besides, who’s to stop them from lighting one up outside of the residence halls?

Enforcement of the policy will be the responsibility of the University community, which just sounds like a nicer way of what will really occur: students telling other students that their lifestyle choices offend them and that they must stop.

While supporters are hoping for a culture shift towards an anti-smoking campus, I believe a culture shift towards increased student-intolerance to be much more likely.

The new policy’s sup-

posed goal is to create a healthier environment on campus, where students are free from secondhand smoke, but I wonder if that’s truly the case.

Recent comments made by some of the policy’s most ardent supporters have revealed that restricting student health choices played a major role. In fact, according to The BG News, the University has spent $9,000 to educate students on the new policy and, you guessed it, “programs to help [students] stop smoking.”

If the University was legitimately concerned about secondhand smoke risk, they would have first enforced the previous policy of 35 feet from any building before implementing such drastic new restrictions.

Smoking is bad for you. We’ve all known this for most of our lives.

But so is alcohol, tanning and fast food. We wouldn’t necessarily want the University to control all of our other health choices and tobacco-use should not be any different.

Attempting to restrict and control the behavior of human beings almost always leads to unintended consequences.

The University should reconsider the lifestyles of students and appreciate that we are all capable of making our own decisions.

Bradley Manning will be judged by history PAUL MCKENZIE COLUMNIST

There were many eyecatching news stories during the summer. The political machinations in Washington D.C. were constant, even during the congressional summer recess.

The George Zimmerman verdict led news coverage for days on end. Also happening but somewhat under-publicized was the conviction and sentencing to 35 years in prison of Pvt. Bradley Manning.

Since his conviction, Pvt. Manning has now declared that he is Chelsea Manning but that is another column for another time.

To avoid any reader confusion, I will refer to the private as simply Manning.

Manning was an enlisted soldier in the U.S. Army. Because of his small physical stature and a talent with computers, he was assigned to work as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.

This brought him into daily contact with some of our military’s most sensitive and secret information.

Many analysts have access

to this intelligence and have sworn as soldiers to do their duty and uphold the Constitution of the United States. Manning did this for a while. Between 2009 and 2010 though, Manning leaked a mountain of intelligence to the controversial website WikiLeaks.

Above is a statement of what happened in the Manning case. It is over and is now history. What isn’t over is the public debate over whether Manning is a villain or hero.

To some he is a traitor who was entrusted with government intelligence and turned his back on his fellow soldiers and his country.

To others, he is a brave whistleblower who exposed military secrets that should have never been secrets to begin with. One thing for certain though is that long after Manning is footnote to history, this debate will rage on.

The Manning case is a complex one for many people to wrap their minds around.

I am included in that. I am a believer in whistleblowing: whether corporate or governmental. I am a believer in investigative reporting, whistleblowing’s brother, also.

Much good has come from

both of these activities. The preeminent example in the last 50 years is the releasing of the Pentagon papers in the New York Times in 1971. Daniel Ellsberg discovered and released these government secrets about the Vietnam War to the consternation of many.

Ultimately, Ellsberg was cleared of espionage charges but many still considered him a traitor, just as some will always view Manning as such.

While Ellsberg is now widely considered a hero and not a turncoat, it will remain to be seen what Manning’s legacy will be.

To me, they are apples and oranges for one main reason: Ellsberg was not an active member of the United States military.

To some this has no bearing at all, but this is something many of us take seriously.

My father and brother are honorably discharged veterans of the Navy. I have many friends who have served honorably. To take the oath to uphold this nation’s constitution and serve with integrity is not something that should be violated unless absolutely necessary.

Do I believe in blind allegiance like Adolph Eichmann used as his defense for his World War II atrocities? Of course I do not.

Do I believe that the Obama administration’s extraordinary penchant for secrecy is disappointing and harmful to democracy? Yes, I do.

Do I believe that that the secret war plans that Manning released was harmful enough to our nation to override his oath to America?

No, I do not.

Manning did the one thing someone in the military can never do in any circumstance except the most dire and unusual: he betrayed his country and his oath.

A military cannot be remotely effective if orders are not followed, if some secrecy is not involved, and most importantly, if personnel cannot be trusted to do their duty.

So the question remains: is Manning a hero or traitor?

Like so much in our nation, that designation now belongs to history and to the eye of the beholder.

Summer rediscovery leads to fall changes MATTHEW THACKER FORUM EDITOR

I have been writing at The BG News for two and a half years now, and it has become my custom to write a “What I did over summer vacation” column at the start of each new school year. So without further ado...

This summer, I put myself on a self-imposed news hiatus.

I generally follow the news pretty thoroughly, because I am a political junkie, but by late last semester I felt really burned out on the news. So I made a conscious decision to watch, or read, as little news as possible over the summer.

Of course, there are always those stories that you catch bits and pieces of whether you want to or not [like the George Zimmerman case for instance], but I tried really hard to avoid it.

To be honest [and I never would have believed this before this summer], I didn’t really miss the news all that much. I stayed busy, instead, trying to get my house ready

for my new son who is scheduled to arrive in September.

I also had a period of rediscovery of sorts.

For one, I rediscovered my love for bluegrass music.

I played and sang bluegrass for a living for 10 years [in what sometimes seems like another life now] in a band with my older brother before getting married and deciding to return to school.

Since quitting that career seven years ago, I had seldom listened to the music that consumed my life for so long. Over the summer, however, my brother and I started an internet radio show, playing bluegrass music and doing in-depth interviews with bluegrass artists [check out the Route 23 Radio Show on Facebook if you’re interested].

I also rediscovered my love of Stephen King books.

At one point in that previous life, I read King’s books almost exclusively, but hadn’t read one in some time before the summer. To replace my news watching over the summer I re-read “The Stand,” “It,” “Different Seasons” and “The Green Mile.”

ways to spice up the Forum section this year.

That was a hard task, because I love what we have been doing in the Forum section over the last couple of years, yet the eternal optimist in me believes that anything can be made better with a little effort.

So there are a few things I want to try to do this year a little different with our little, opinionated, section of The BG News.

One of those is here on the page right now. Every Friday I want to do a little sidebar called “Three Things to Make You Look Smart Next Week.”

This will be a [sometimes] humorous way to point out a few things that we [here at the Forum page] think you should be aware of in the week ahead.

I also hope to increase Forum’s online presence.

While The BG News has an award winning website, Forum tends to be something most people only look for in the print edition; I hope to change that.

One way we will attempt to do that is have original content that will appear online only. Two of our columnists, Cassie Sullivan [who I’m proud to say is the Assistant Forum Editor] and

Meagan Ward [who used to write for us and is returning this semester] will both write a column every week for Monday, but will alternate printing on Mondays.

That means that every Monday one of these columns will be printed, while the other will be available exclusively online. My hope is that you will get on The BG News website every Monday to see what these very talented writers have to say.

I also hope that we can do more “Opposing Opinions” pieces, which is when we have two columnists who have differing opinions on a given topic, print their points of view side-by-side. This allows for both viewpoints of the topic to be out there, so you, the reader, are informed and can decide who’s right for yourself.

Summer has come and gone, and school is back in session. We all have to find our che in dealing with the new year, and while I hope your summer was good I hope even more that your fall semester will be great.

Imagine going to three concerts in one week. Now imagine that you got into those concerts for free.

That was my life this summer.

I had the amazing opportunity to intern for PromoWest Productions, located in Columbus, Ohio. PromoWest is the brains behind all of the concert venues in Columbus — The Basement, A&R Music Bar, Newport Music Hall and LC Pavilion.

My internship actually started in February. While still on campus, I was the one that hung up all of the fliers advertising shows.

After the school year ended, I went home [Cleveland] and continued the advertising and fliers. Now though, since my schedule was completely freed up, I could work any of the shows that I wanted to.

The coolest thing about my internship is that I was able to meet a lot of my favorite musicians after the shows.

Since my job was done before the shows started, I was a patron during the shows and I could do what I always do at concerts: meet the band after the show. Once I became a patron of the show, I would book it to the front row. I’ve been front row for countless shows this summer.

Another cool thing about my internship was that I sometimes finished my job before the show started.

When this happened I hung

OFFICE From Page 3

out in the venue instead of standing in line with the other patrons. I got to listen to soundchecks and see all the musicians walking around. While working one show, I saw the lead singer of Cute is What We Aim For’s pug running around the bar. The guy never goes anywhere without his pug. My co-workers and I took a break and petted the dog before the lead singer came over to us and started talking to us. That was probably the coolest thing that happened to me this summer.

For some of the shows at LC Pavilion, I would get to run the giveaways table. People could come up and spin a wheel and win prizes. Then during the shows, I would get pictures of the bands performing and then they would be uploaded onto PromoWest’s Instagram.

Overall, I have been to 12 shows since the end of the school year. There were four shows I paid for that were not part of my internship, but I bought the tickets before I got my internship back in February.

For the longest time, I thought I wanted to write about music. After this internship though, I’m not so sure. I know I want to end up in the music industry because music is my entire life. No matter where I end up, I know I am going to be doing something I love, whether that be writing about music or seeing live music every night for the rest of my life.

adorning his office.

“I do a lot with comics,” Coletta said. “I’m teaching a comics class at the moment, so I’ve got some different posters.”

He has a statue from the 2006 film “Superman Returns.” The statue features alumna Eva Marie Saint, who acted in the film.

“Believe it or not, she’s become a friend over the last couple of years,” Coletta said.

“She wanted to know some more about Superman and I knew a lot about Superman and so I sent her a little information packet on Superman.”

Another one of his favorite collectibles is a bust of William Shakespeare, which opens up to reveal a lightswitch.

“It’s actually a fancy lightswitch. It’s a replica from the old “Batman” TV show with Adam West,” he said. “It wasn’t that expensive. It’s just plastic but I like it.”

Coletta enjoys having an office he’s comfortable in.

“It’s good to have an office that you like to come to,” he said.

office which he has exhibited at art galleries. Besides his collages, he’s also exhibited and won awards for his art cars, which are cars he decorates with paint or paper.

Before Donahue worked in the Popular Culture department, he worked at the sound recordings archives with Bill Schurk, the sound recordings archivist, who has held his position since the archives opened in 1967.

Like Donahue, Schurk has a number of posters and memorabilia hanging in his office as well as the hallways throughout his office.

“This has been my home and I’ve been able to do what I want with every available space,” he said. “Not only is this office beautified, but the entire hallway leading up to and going past my office is always decorated.”

Among some of the most prized things in his office is a World War I propoganda poster given by his brother and a DOOWOP license plate that he first got in 1984.

Summer internships can fulfill life-long dreams, reiterate passion

Friday, August 30, 2013

By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor

Students can expect to see a new bar downtown within the near future.

Cla-Zel management is opening a new bar called “The Melt Shop” on Main Street between Tuby’s and One49 in October of this year. It will be a pub-like bar, featuring food along with alcoholic drinks.

Cla-Zel Owner, Ammar Muf leh, has a background of looking at buildings and structures and finding value in them to produce something that will attract people. He said an opportunity presented itself after he bought the building on Main Street.

“That space has been empty for almost 20 years and I just finished purchasing the building,” Mufleh said. “I’ve been working on developing a cool concept that will be opening in October.”

Though the bar will be having a lunch menu and won’t be open 24

hours a day, it will be hosting a “late night” menu. Mufleh said everything on the late night menu will be entirely different from what will be served during the day starting at 3 a.m. for weekends only.

“You’ll be able to hit up the local scene and then stop in for a cool mix of breakfast food,” Mufleh said.

“We’ll be having some late night entertainment and be featuring a mix of fun drinks that tie into our name sake, which is Melt.”

Senior and head of security at the Cla-Zel, Byron Graves, has been working for Mufleh for three years and was asked by Mufleh to work at The Melt Shop once it opens.

Graves said the new bar won’t be a place like the Cla-Zel, but it will be more like a pub and for people to relax and enjoy food with a drink. It will be really nice, he said.

“We’re not too wor r ied about ot her businesses because it’s a new idea,” Graves sa id. “Bowling Green cou ld use a new spot. It’s a place for k ids to come a nd

ha ng out a nd watch telev ision, dr in k a nd do what t hey wa nt.

It’s a new place to go to a nd I t hin k we’l l do good.”

Junior Zachary Kocanda plans on going to the new pub-like bar once it opens and said he would be more likely to go to it than the other bars downtown because of the food and it being open so late.

“It’s definitely going to be a draw for me because it will be a good place to sit down and eat late at night,” Kocanda said. “The food will make the place have more appeal to people.”

The Melt Shop will be open Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. The late night menu will go into effect on weekends starting at 3 a.m.

“We’re going to have a staple menu with a revolving menu featuring some really cool authentic cuisine,” Muf leh said. “We’re going to be doing some rea lly cool things.”

Falcons win tough season opener against Tulsa

By Alex Krempasky Sports Editor

Quarterback Matt Schilz started BG’s home opener Thursday night, but it was backup quarterback Matt Johnson who stole the show in front of a packed Doyt Perry Stadium and a national audience on ESPN.

Head Coach Dave Clawson was not surprised to see his team win, but a 34-7 win against the defending Conference-USA champions was quite the surprise.

“I really hoped that we’d be the more physical team,” Clawson said.

“Did I think we were going to beat

them by 27? No. Did I think we could win? Yes. I believed we could win this game.”

The first two drives for each team ended in punts but BG’s defense made a big impression on Tulsa’s senior running backs. The Golden Hurricane were only able to gain 46 yards in the first half.

After Tulsa’s third failed drive, BG

got the ball back, but it wasn’t starting quarterback Matt Schilz who came back out for the Falcons, it was backup quarterback Matt Johnson.

“Matt Johnson had still practiced well and we made the decision to start Matt Schilz,” Clawson said. “We told both quarterbacks that if they both continued to practice the way that they were practicing, they would

both play. So, before the game we made the decision to put Johnson in the third or fourth series depending on things were going … We put Matt [Johnson] in and I think he gave us a spark.”

Falcons to ‘tighten up’ going into opening weekend

By Alex Krempasky Sports Editor

The men’s soccer team is beginning its 2013 season with two home games over Labor Day weekend. The Falcons will take on Malone University [Division II] Friday and the University of Michigan Monday.

BG is starting its season following a physical exhibition match against the University of Cincinnati, which it won 4-2 this past Saturday.

The team has been practicing this week and fixing issues that arose during the exhibition match.

“I think we’ve tighten up defensively,” Head Coach Eric Nichols said.

“We had a few gaps in the back line, a few gaps in the defensive-mids that tightened up. We didn’t like how we conceded two goals back-to-back, so hopefully we’ve tightened up the competitive toughness. We lost concentration a little bit.”

The Falcons’ first regular season match is against the Malone University Pioneers. Malone finished the 2012 season 6-9-1, but had a decent season against its Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference opponents. The Pioneers went 6-6-1 in GLIAC play including a 0-0 tie against No. 21 ranked Saginaw Valley State and a 1-0 win against No. 23 ranked Notre Dame College. Their

season ended with a 5-1 loss in the GLIAC tournament quarterfinals against Ohio Dominican University.

“Our only focus has been Malone,” goalkeeper Michael Wiest said.

“Everyday since Cincinnati, we’ve been focused on Malone. Just trying to get better every practice.”

Midfielder Danny Baraldi will be sitting for the game against Malone due to a yellow card accumulation penalty from the previous season.

“We have 100 percent faith in anyone who goes out onto the field,” Midfielder Brandon Silva said.

“We’ve all practiced together. We all know what we’re doing. Danny’s a real good player and, obviously, we’re going to miss him but, we have plenty of guys who can step in and fill that role.”

The second game is against the University of Michigan Wolverines.

Michigan finished the 2012 season 11-10-1 and managed only two wins away from Ann Arbor, Mich. BG defeated the Wolverines this past year in a road game in Ann Arbor, 2-0, and at home, 2-0, in 2011.

“Full focus now is on Malone,” Nichols said. “We’ll worry about Michigan after that game is over.”

The BG men’s soccer team take on Malone Friday and Michigan Monday at Cochrane Field, both starting at 7 p.m.

Falcons to open season with three tough opponents

By Noah Jones Reporter

The reigning Mid-Atlantic Conference champions will start the season with a tournament at the Stroh Center, but will be playing higher ranked teams.

The Bowling Green Hampton Inn Invitational will begin the volleyball season for the BG Falcons against Marquette, No. 25 Creighton and No. 13 BYU. The Falcons first game against Marquette will begin at 7 p.m. The team will play No. 25 Creighton

and No. 13 BYU Saturday at 10 a.m. and 7p.m.

BG welcomes back nine letterwinners from last season as well as five of six starters and the libero who helped lead the team to a season record of 22-11. Seniors Lindsey Butterfield, Laura Avila and Libby Dachenhaus were announced as team captains Thursday afternoon. Although they are not in the top 25, Head Coach Danijela Tomic said they are right on the cusp of being nationally ranked.

“We have the worst ranked team

in our own tournament, based on the record for last year,” said Tomic. Bowling Green is ranked 46th in the nation, according to NCAA.com.

Tomic said playing a list of high caliber teams is not the most challenging factor of opening a season, but because the teams are out of conference and have little public film, it is hard to know what exactly to expect.

ALEXA KALASZ, smiles as she wins “BG Idol” during the halftime show at the first football game.

Halftime show adapted to ‘American Idol’ style

By Madison Reinhard Reporter

Everyone has seen the hit show “American Idol,” but only those who witnessed the BGSU vs. Tulsa football game were given the chance to see “BG Idol.”

To start off the half time show was Gerry Anderson from Channel 11 News, who pretended to be talk show host Ryan Seacrest. The three judges for the opening game show were University President Mary Ellen Mazey, BG women’s basketball coach Jennifer Roose and Athletic Director Chris Kingston.

The judges provided feedback to all three singers.

The three singers for the show were jazz singers who got the crowd involved by singing upbeat, fun songs that everyone could easily sing along to. While the band played in the background, Melody Gelsone went “center stage” to sing the hit song “Done” by The Band Perry. After the judges consulted, they congratulated Melody on a job well done, and next was Cory Jolly.

Jolly presented his own version of “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” by Cannonball Edderly.

“He really seemed to give it his

all. I was inspired,” said freshman Griffen Palmer.

Last was Alexa Kalasz, who won “BG Idol” with her performance of “Wings” by Little Mix. “It was pretty good for the first show of the year,” said sophomore Mitch Sora.

Freshman Emily Wilhelm also enjoyed the show.

“The show was entertaining and fun for fans to interact with,” Wilhelm said.

The Falcon Marching Band had less time to prepare compared to other shows, said Zack Deininger, the drum major.

Still he had no doubt the show would be a success, he said.

If you missed this weeks show of “BG Idol,” you will have the chance to see some upcoming shows. Coming soon to the Doyt is not only five more highly anticipated home games, but also Band Day, where local high school bands come to play with the FMB, a Ska show with heavy brass and upbeat music, a show that specializes in “The Lion King” songs and finally, Falcon Fantasia. At the Falcon Fantasia show, the man who wrote the University fight song will be on the field with the band.

reviewed on a periodic basis and look at the procedures,” Houston said.

One change Houston would like to make is to combine the two sources of the academic honesty policy. As of now, academic dishonesty is in the charter and the student conduct code is in the student handbook.

This change alone could allow for a more fair and consistent policy, Houston said.

Another change Solis wants to include is continuous education on what plagiarism entails.

“You hear about [the policy] on syllabus day and then it’s not addressed again until something happens,” he said. “The University expects us to be great stewards for our academics but at the same time we have to know what we are talking about.”

Sheri Wells-Jensen, associate professor in the Department of English and Senate Chair for the Faculty Senate, has talked with Solis about the policy.

“We share everyone’s desire to have a policy that is strong and fair,” Wells-Jensen said. “We have plans to work with faculty and students to make that happen.”

Wells-Jensen acknowledges that plagiarism is already taught in several different courses.

“I know we cover this material in general studies writing courses,” she said. “I know we cover it in English as a second language courses, I think that is everyone’s goal to educate.

Whether that should be apart of the policy I think is a question for when we craft the policy.

It’s important for us to listen to one another.”

Neely agrees with Solis about adding education to the policy.

“We want there to be a learning outcome involved,” Neely said.

While Wells-Jensen is ambivalent to the policy, she said it’s a good thing when the students and faculty can work together on it.

“Anything we can do to be clear on how our community stands is a good thing,” she said.

USG will continue to evaluate academic honesty as it looks ahead to future resolutions regarding the policy. Solis and Neely met with the faculty senate to form a committee composed of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students charged with reviewing the policy.

“Come fall, we are going to pull this group together to review the current policy,” Solis said. “And really take the next necessary steps forward.”

Women’s soccer looks to show progress

By Cameron Teague Robinson Assistant Sports Editor

The Falcons will look to improve and build off their loss against Cleveland State as they host Butler at Cochrane Field Saturday at 4 p.m.

The BG women’s soccer team lost their opener to Cleveland State 2-1 Aug. 25th.

They will need to improve their individual markings and finishing their shots on goal opportunities when they host Butler University Aug. 31 at 4 p.m., said Head Coach Lindsay Basalyga.

“I thought on the day the game could have gone either way,” Basalyga said.

“The soccer that we were playing looked very good compared to the previous three scrimmages. I was happy that we saw 10 shots and that all 10 of those shots were on goal.”

Fr e s h m a n Ha le y Malaczewski scored the Falcons’ lone goal right before the end of the first half to send the game into a tie during the break.

Cleveland State would score about half way

BG was forced to kick a field goal after a one-yard run by running back Travis Greene and two-straight incomplete passes that put the Falcons up 3-0 with 3:29 remaining in the first quarter.

Tulsa looked to match BG’s field goal on the following drive, but after a drive that included 21-consecutive rushing yards and a 37-yard pass from quarterback Cody Green to wide receiver Jordan James, the Golden Hurricane was

through the second half to gain the lead for good.

“I kind of felt overwhelmed after the goal,” Malaczewski said. “I was just very excited and it just happened so fast that is was shocking.”

The Falcons will welcome the Butler team Saturday to Cochrane Field. While the Falcons will be looking to build on their strengths, they will also need to make some improvements if they are to beat Butler.

“Butler is a very good team, but so are we,” defender Alyssa Carmack said. “It just depends on who comes to play that day, I just think we need to play our game and not get caught up in their game. If we do that, I think we can have some good things happen.”

Head Coach Basa lyga is confident the things t hey lea rned from t he Clevela nd State ga me a nd t he con f idence t hey gained w ill carr y over to the Butler game Saturday.

“I think ever y time we train and ever y time we touch t he ba l l t hat we are gaining conf idence,”

Basa lyga said. “We train at a high work rate and i n t ig ht spaces so we are starting to get more com for t able i n t ig ht a space, which is ver y good for us when we get on a f ull size f ield.”

Butler is a team coming off of an improved 12-win season under Co-Head Coaches Tari St. John and Rob Alman. Butler improved from eight wins in 2011 to 12 wins this past season. They also bring back their three top goal scorers from a year ago along with their starting goalkeeper.

“Butler is a very good team who moves the ball very well,” Basalyga said.

“They have some dangerous players up through the middle of the field that we are going to have to put pressure on because they are going to want to break us down either off the dribble or off the pass.”

Basalyga hopes that as the team plays together more, it will build better chemistry.

“As we continue to progress through the next couple of weeks, we will need to turn our shot opportunities into goals,” Basalyga said.

forced to kick a field goal after a series of incomplete passes.

Johnson committed the game’s first turnover with an interception to Tulsa defensive back Dwight Dobbins, who returned the pass for 11 yards.

“It was completely on me,” Johnson said. “Chris [Gallon] ran a good route, I just threw it inside, but immediately coming off the field, coach Clawson was clapping, telling me to keep my head up. So I knew I was going to get another shot.”

Tulsa then pushed up close to the endzone but after Tulsa wide receiver Derek Patterson caught an eight-yard pass from quarter back Cody Green, he fumbled the ball and BG took over on its own two-yard line.

The second half was highlighted by three touchdowns by running back William Houston (two in the third quarter and one in the fourth) and a punt return touchdown

by Ryan Burbrink in the fourth quarter.

Tulsa was only able to score once, on a 27-yard pass from backup quarterback Dane Evans to Patterson with less than six minutes left in the game.

“We’ll enjoy this for 24-hours and then we have a huge game a week from Saturday up at Kent.” Clawson said.

The Falcons will travel to Kent State University to take on the Golden Flashes next Saturday at Noon.

after that game we will see.”

Tomic said the team has focused on playing hard with discipline, intelligence, aggressiveness and showing full effort.

“If we do these things everyday in practice,” Tomic said. “If that’s enough to beat Marquette— great— if it isn’t we’ll come back the following week and get better in the areas we need to.”

The Falcons lost to Marquette last year in three sets, but have a slim lead all time record of 3-2 against the Golden Eagles.

The Golden Eagles are coming off a season in which they set program records for overall (27-7) and Big East Conference victories (132), and made their secondstraight trip to the NCAA Championship.
