JANUARY 12, 2015 | PAGE 2

By Erika Heck In Focus Editor A BG1 Card can be used many places around campus and even some off-campus business, but now it has a new use: getting student into bars downtown.

In the past, students only had to present their college IDs at a club or bar to get discounted beverages or a discounted cover charge. Now, a college ID is required

BLOTTER TUE., JAN. 5

8:45 A.M. Complainant reported an unknown vehicle had struck and caused damage to the exterior wall of a business within the 300 block of E. Poe Road.

1:08 P.M. Matthew C. Key, 20, of Bowling Green, was cited for disorderly conduct/loud music and possession of drug paraphernalia within the 400 block of E. Napoleon Road.

to enter Uptown Downtown, a bar and nightclub paired business downtown.

In a review on Uptown Downtown’s Facebook page, dated Sept. 6, 2015, former customer Jodi Doss gave the business a one star rating and wrote a complaint under it.

“We did love this bar, but now they won’t let you in without a college ID, which is fine,” she said. “But I graduated and they still wouldn’t let me in!”

While Uptown Downtown could not be contacted for this story, the idea of making

bars and clubs require college IDs for entrance is not new to certain spaces.

Miami University in Oxford decided at the start of their academic year in the fall to print birthdates onto students’ college ID cards, according to an article written by The Miami Student.

One of the bars, according to the article, is taking advantage of this change by requiring students to now show two forms of ID in order to compare the birthdates.

While Miami University’s decision to

make this change and the bar’s decision to use college IDs were potentially responses to the issues of underage drinking and fake identification among students under the legal age of 21, bars besides Uptown Downtown don’t seem to be following suit.

A Liquid nightclub employee, who asked not to be identified, said management there isn’t enforcing any type of college ID policies.

PEOPLEON THESTREET What’s your New Years Resolution?

“Stop limiting myself.”

Adventures of a College Student: Skipping Class COMIC BY CHANLER BROWN

Danger in fear based decisions Hello and welcome back! I hope you had a great Christmas and are having a great New Year so far. This year is an important one. It is an election year on the national scale and by this time next year, we’ll have elected a new president.

That being written, I want to get the train rolling on this column. There are a lot of important factors that go into choosing a president, many questions that need to be asked and many points that need to be considered. I hope to address as many as I can this semester and in the early part of next semester. Then I will have done my part in helping choose our next leader.

The first thing I’m going to write about is fear. Specifically, I want to discuss fear-based decision-making. In my opinion, there can be no worse decision than the one made with anxiety. There is little chance that decision will be rational or reasonable, because fear itself is irrational and unreasonable.

And it only takes one decision made out of fear to create an avalanche of bad decisions afterward.

Recently, I ensnared myself in a political debate with an Icelandic transsexual libertarian friend. She was confused by my

bg

Bryan Eberly Columnist stance on the Syrian refugees and whether they should be allowed in this country as a safe haven. For the record, absolutely, and furthermore I’m giving a strong side look to all churches and celebrities in this country to either put up or shut up. But that’s a topic for perhaps another column.

My friend was surprised that I was so willing to help the refuges despite what she called “the Muslim immigration crisis.” Now was my turn to be confused. Crisis?

What crisis? I hadn’t heard about any such immigration crisis. And I told my friend so.

Her return: “You don’t see the potential dangers?”

Hold up. In the space of one question, we had gone from “crisis” to “potential dangers.” I have a huge problem with this.

If someone coughs near me on the bus, I’m not going to scream out “pandemic!” If I see

an ant scurry across my kitchen floor, I’m not going to cry “infestation!”

Sure, the man’s cough has the potential to lead to a disease outbreak. If he has Ebola, that is. If it’s not just allergies. If he has a raging case of the flu and everyone in the city forgot to get his or her shot this season.

And an ant could mean an infestation. If it walks into a nest under my cabinets. If I have tons of desiccated food scraps all over my floor.

If every time I stepped on my kitchen tile I heard a million crunches underneath.

Do you get where I’m going with this? Certain conditions have to be met before something can be labeled as a crisis. This in mind, I asked my friend what potential dangers she fears, and whether she has any examples to justify her panic.

She mentioned the shooter in Philadelphia last week who screamed “allahu akbar” before shooting a cop. Turns out the shooter was from Syria. Turns out he is indeed Muslim.

There was a long pause in our conversation as I politely gave her time to give me all her other examples and incidents. It became

She had no other examples off the top of her head, or in the five minutes of silence she could have used for a quick Google search. So again, I have to ask, what crisis?

The most profound words to come out of her mouth, however, were “Whatever. I’m voting for Trump because he’s the only one taking this seriously.”

Friends, do you see the pratfall in this conversation? She started it by asking about an imaginary crisis that I brought down by pointing out the lack of evidence therewith. And then after she acknowledged that (“whatever” is acknowledgement) she made a decision to vote for a man who shares her imaginary crisis.

Over break, I read Shonda Rhimes’ memoir, “Year of Yes,” and I became inspired. In her memoir, she talks about how she was trying to say “yes” to every opportunity that came her way, no matter how afraid she would be.

So, for 2016, I’m going to do my own “Year of Yes.” But instead of saying “yes” to every opportunity, I’m going to do everything to the best of my ability and not beat myself up over something so small that I ultimately have no control over.

2016 is going to be the “Year of I Can Do It.” I don’t know about you, but last semester wore me out. I was burned out and I began to doubt myself, especially in my academic life. I worked my hardest, but still never felt like it was enough.

So, with the new year here, I decided to make a change. I know me, and I know I’m still going to doubt myself. I know that’s not going to change. But I want to be able to silence the part of my mind that told me I’ve messed up big time.

Lauren Fitz Columnist I want to be more confident about things.

My end goal is to begin to feel better about different parts of my life collectively – not just my academic life. I have so many things I want to accomplish this year. The old me would usually shy away from something or I’d tell myself it was too big for what I was wanting to do.

This is going to be a big challenge for me.

I’m basically reteaching my brain something I’ve been doing for 21 years. But I’m ready. I’m ready to gain a more positive outlook on life.

I’m ready for 2016 to be different.

I’m turning over a new leaf and I challenge you to do the same.

Because he also fears the “potential dangers” and wants to do something about it.

Never mind that Trump wishes to trample on basic human rights of association, movement, speech, etc., to do so.

How often do you make decisions out of fear? I recommend taking a long, hard look at your choices in the next few months leading up to the election. How many of them are based on potential dangers versus actual dangers?

Are you aware of the difference there?

This is going to be an important election this year. Our nation is perhaps at its weakest point politically, and we need to find someone to lead us with strength.

Initiative helps Syrian refugees transition to life in Toledo

By Hannah Finnerty Reporter As the bloody civil war in Syria shows few signs of slowing down, Syrians are fleeing the only home they have ever known to seek safety, some to Toledo, Ohio.

Left in political limbo until asylum is granted, refugees are left with an unending list of questions about their future. Few find the answers they are looking for.

The fate of these refugees lies in the hands of government officials processing applications. Although the numbers may be few, Syrians have been brought to the United States in seek of asylum.

It’s a tremendous feat to pick up the fragmented pieces of your life to be relocated to an unfamiliar place, suffocated by an unfamiliar language and surrounded by a culture contrasting drastically different from your own. Local and campus initiatives

are working to make this transition more streamlined and comfortable for refugees.

Us Together, a not-for-profit initiative founded in 2003, makes the transition to a new way of life easier for refugees. The organization was visualized by two refugee women from Russia and the Ukraine who decided to make a tangible reality from their hopes of assisting refugees with resettlement.

Branching out from their headquarters in Columbus, Us Together opened a new facility in Toledo in 2013. This year alone, 71 refugees have been successfully relocated to the Toledo area, 54 of those being Syrians, according to the Us Together webpage.

Relocating to a new country is not an easy task. It takes people of many specialties to make an effective transition for these

the program possible. “(The refugees) are integrating. It is not easy to change not just your town or refugees. Housing has to be organized, as city or state, but your country. It’s a hard well as employment opportunities. Few thing to do,” Dehabey said. “But they speak English, so translators and teachers are contributing and reaching out to the are in demand. Many refugees come to community, and it’s nice to see that the community is reaching back.”

Although Us Together allows for organization and simplicity within the resettlement process, refugees are still faced with discrimination when arriving in the states, particularly in regards to religion. Since the start of the Syrian civil conflict in 2011, 2,550 Syrians have come to the US, according to annual reports from the Refugee Processing Center.

Nearly 97 percent these refugees are Muslim.

The negative connotation associated with Islam is growing as the influence of ISIS spreads beyond the Middle East and whose attacks are striking fear in both hemispheres.

An associate PHOTO PROVIDED professor in the Vibha Bhalla, an associate professor of Ethnic Studies, said immigration is often linked to security issues. In order to Department of Ethnic prevent this, Not In Our Town will be holding discussion to combat Islamophobia.

addressed the unease that many are feeling in lieu of the violence of ISIS. “Right now immigration is also becoming linked to security issues,” Bhalla said.

“What you see is that fear psychosis is being created.”

Dreading the possibility of Islamists infiltrating the United States through immigration and refugee programs, some have become wary of Muslims entering the country, even if they are seeking safety and asylum.

To prevent assumptions made about Islam, campus initiative Not In Our Town is beginning discussion with the Bowling Green campus and community to answer questions and to accurately inform listeners about Islam.

Within the first few months of school, there will be an open dialogue series covering Islamophobia. In attendance will be several panelists, one of which will be the Imam from the mosque in Perrysburg.

The panelists will be sharing their experiences and addressing the effects that Islamophobia has on the community, hoping to invoke meaningful dialogue between the panelists and audience.

Leslie Galan, a co-chair of Not In Our Town, said that the dialogue series will allow students and community members to see Islam from a different perspective.

“Since 9/11 … the shift in how the general public feels about Muslims or Islam or the Middle East in general has certainly changed, and I would imagine that that singular event shaped a lot of opinions,” Galan said. “It’s important to come to the table and listen to the other side and educate ourselves.”

USG prepares for new semester

By Michele Mathis Managing Editor At the spring semester kickoff meeting, Undergraduate Student Government swore in new senators and elected a new Academic Affairs chair.

Freshman Rachel Renou, an international business major, was elected to the chair position with the promise of effective leadership within USG and with the campus community.

“I believe in generating and following through with new initiatives,” Renou said in her

speech before election. “I joined the It’s On Us committee, participated in study hours in the Learning Commons...and have had countless opportunities to shadow leaders (in USG).”

Renou hopes to review initiatives on the academic honesty policy and work with her chair members.

Renou also looks to the leadership in USG to shape how she will run the Academic Affairs position.

“I’ve seen Chair Woodburn, Speaker Johnson, Vice President Parker... All the things they’ve been working on and what they want for USG. Every time they brought it up, I got excited to have potential opportunities to help

USG,” she said. “The (chair) position will be a way for me to push on that potential.”

While Renou sees potential in her new position in Academic Affairs, President Victor Senn and Vice President Danielle Parker look forward to a productive semester with USG while they finish their presidency.

“I want to continue to accomplish all the goals we had in our platform,” Senn said. “We thought (our goals) are important and we continue to think they’re important.”

Parker wants to leave their legacy with keeping USG visible and insuring that the

Falcons fall to third quarter surge

By Evan Hayes Sports Reporter In action this past Saturday, the Bowling Green State University women’s basketball team lost to the defending Mid-America Conference champion Ohio Bobcats 57-72.

After weathering a tough first start to the first half, the Falcons were downed by a furious run by Ohio in the third quarter.

Freshman Sydney Lambert scored a career high 17 points in the game, while senior Lauren Tibbs scored 15 points and 6 rebounds and sophomore Rachel Myers added 10 points.

“We had a slow start, with the first three possessions ending in turnovers.

We scripted the first three plays and couldn’t execute that, so we jumped in a quick hole down seven,” Head Coach Jennifer Roos said. “But our kids rallied,

put up a good first quarter down one.

Second quarter, even, going into halftime, shooting the ball at almost fifty percent, which is something we talked about.”

The loss was the Falcons’ third conference contest of the season, and drops them to a 1-2 conference record and 5-7 overall. The Bobcats improved to 11-3 overall while staying a perfect 3-0 in conference.

“I think we had a few turnovers early on that put us in a hole at the beginning of the third,” Lambert said. “I mean, I think the turnovers were about the only thing that kind of got us in a big hole. I think we all just want to dig ourselves out of the hole real quick, so we just put up shots early in the offense instead of trying to break down the defense like we should.”

The Bobcats scored the first 9 points to

start the game while BG struggled out of the gate, committing a turnover on each of their first three possessions. They were able to battle back though, not committing a turnover for the rest of the first period.

Lambert led the way with three made triples in the first to help the Falcons hold right with Ohio in the first, finishing down 21-20. Both teams then scored 16 points in the second quarter, ending the first half with a 37-36 Ohio lead.

It would prove to be a tale of two halves for the Falcons, who after shooting 46.4% from the field in the first half shot only 26.9% from the field in the second half. They also committed 12 turnovers in the second half.

“The third quarter just kind of got us,” Roos said. “There was a run where we couldn’t get a stop from the six-minute mark to the zerominute mark of the quarter, and then for the

first minute of the fourth quarter.”

Neither team scored for the first twominutes of the third quarter, until both Myers and Lambert drove to the basket and drew fouls for two free throws each. Myers knocked down both of her attempts at the 6:21 mark, while Lambert hit both of her attempts at the 5:57 mark, giving the Falcons their first lead of the day, 43-42.

However, the Bobcats would close out the rest of the quarter on a 14-0 run, pulling ahead at the end of the period with a lead of 56-43. That run was pushed to 18-0 after the start of the third quarter, giving the Bobcats a lead that they would not relinquish for the rest of the day.

The Falcons will return to action this Wednesday night, January 13, at 7 p.m. against Akron. The match will be the second of a three game home stand for BG, who will

Hockey splits two games against Lake Superior

Falcons win conference opener against Miami

By Aaron Parker Sports Editor With two games under their belt in conference play, the Bowling Green men’s basketball team has a 1-1 record in the Mid-American Conference with a win over Miami and a loss to Central Michigan over the break.

The team put on a defensive showcase in route to their 73-62 win over the Redhawks, holding their opponents to just 34.3 percent (23-of-67) from the field. The Falcons also recorded nine steals and eight blocks.

“The key for us is always defense,” Head Coach Michael Huger said. “We run off of our defensive stops.

That’s when we want to get out in transition for our open threes and lay-ups. Once we started to get our stops we were able to go out in transition and score so that was the difference.”

While a majority of the Redhawks were held under their scoring averages, leading Miami scorer Eric Washington was above his average with 21 points. The Miami number two man, Geovonie McKnight, was also slightly above his average with 15 points.

The difference in the Miami leading guards’ stat line was in the assists. The Falcons kept them from getting their teammates involved by holding them to two assists combined. Washington was held to 0.

Bowling Green attacked the basket regularly throughout the game and took advantage of their aggressiveness at the free throw line. The Falcons shot 80 percent from the stripe, making 24 of their 30 attempts. The team made more free throws than the Redhawks even attempted with Miami attempting 22 shots and making 14 of them at 63.6 percent.

Junior guard Zack Denny led the Falcons in the contest with 20 points and eight boards. Denny was 6 of 10 from the field overall and 4 of 6 behind the three point line.

Freshman guard Antwon Lillard was the second leading scorer on the night, putting up a career high 16 points.

Freshman forward Demajeo Wiggins led the team in the game on the boards, grabbing a career high 11 rebounds on the night which tied Miami’s leading rebounder McKnight. Wiggins also scored six points on 3 of 4 shooting and recorded two blocks.

“It felt great to contribute as a freshman,” Wiggins said.

“I feel like the rebounding and defensive side of the ball translate for me. As a big it’s kind of tough. You have to be ready to catch but on defense, that’s my bread and butter right now so I’m going to stick to it.”

The Falcons will continue MAC play on Tuesday when they travel to Athens for a match up against Ohio University.

The Falcons hockey team split their series with the Lake Superior State Lakers, winning the first game on Friday night 3-1 but lost on Saturday night 1-0 in overtime.

However, Falcons Head Coach Chris Bergeron said that the team played better overall during the Lake Superior State series than it did in its series against the Clarkson Golden Knights one week ago.

“I thought we were much better with the puck and we were much better without the puck,” Bergeron said. “With the puck we possessed it and we followed the gameplan. Without the puck, I thought we defended it well, we took away time and space and were tough to play against in our own zone and I didn’t think we were that good in both of those areas against Clarkson.”

In Friday’s game, both teams went scoreless until Falcons senior forward Mark Cooper scored at 11:02 of the second period. Sophomore forward Brandon Hawkins gave the Falcons a 2-0 lead at 1:20 of the third, which would not be given up for the remainder of the game as the team cruised to a victory that would put them in a tie with the Minnesota State Mavericks for first place atop the Western Collegiate Hockey Association standings.

“What makes it important is that we’re back winning,” Bergeron said on tying Minnesota State. “We didn’t win our last game and so this was our next opportunity to win a game and I thought we played well. That’s what’s important about it.”

However, the tie for the standings lead would be short lived after the Falcons suffered an overtime loss to Lake Superior State in the second game of the series.

Falcons freshman defenseman Adam Smith appeared to have scored his first collegiate goal, along with giving the Falcons a 1-0 lead in the second period, but the goal was called back after a review showed that Lake Superior State goaltender Gordon Defiel was interfered with on the play.

The interference call would prove costly, as the game went scoreless for both teams through regulation. At the 1:23 mark of the overtime period, Lake Superior State forward Diego Cuglietta scored to hand the Falcons their first overtime loss of the season.

“Basically it was a bad bounce for us, but it was a bounce that they deserved, based on how they played throughout the game.

I think the puck was going wide and it hit one of their players and went in.”

The Falcons’ next match will be against the Miami Redhawks on Saturday, January 16, in the final road interconference game of the season for the Falcons.

“We’ll go back to work next week,” Bergeron said. “Hopefully we’ll be confident, we have no reason not to be, but we started with consistency and we’ll get back to work.”

“We want to make sure that we are an organization that is essentially founded on serving students is doing what it’s purpose is: serving students,” she said. “Being present, being involved, making sure that students know that they have a voice.”

Parker said that USG will continue to be more approachable for the student population in the upcoming spring semester.

USG will be focusing on a variety of initatives for the spring semester.

Speaker Ebonee Johnson said that she looks forward to the productivity of the senate moving forward.

“We’re mainly just focused on productivity,” she said. “We did a lot of planning last semester and each committee has three or four initiatives that they’re very enthused about.”

Johnson said that the return rate to the senate was something she was proud of.

“Last semester was used for building blocks for the new senators and I’m really excited to (see them) preform,” she said.

Personally, Johnson was looking forward to seeing the new leaders that were going to step up in the senate and take responsibility after she retires her undergraduate career.
