Club’s shopping spree helps students give back

By Holly Shively City Editor TOMS Campus Club will be hosting a giving spree Friday, Sept. 25, at Walmart to benefit several organizations.

TOMS Campus Club is associated with TOMS, a popular shoe brand known for its one-for-one mission. For every pair of TOMS shoes sold, TOMS also donates a pair to someone in need.

President of TOMS Campus Club Alissa Barwinski said, “Giving is really important to us, and we wanted to bring that mission of giving back here to Bowling Green.”

Barwinski said that despite some students only being in Bowling Green for their college careers, “it’s really important that we’re engaging with our community.”

One of the ways TOMS Campus Club is engaging with the community is through the upcoming giving spree, an idea that has been in the works since April.

On Friday, a shuttle will leave from behind the Union, near the Black Swamp Pub, at 9 p.m. to transport students to Walmart. Students can also choose to transport themselves. Check in will begin in Walmart at 9:30.

Teams will then be let loose in Walmart from 10:30 until 11:30. During this time, they will shop for items on a list. Walmart will be rearranged, so the average item is not in its normal location, making it more difficult for teams to find each item.

Once the teams find the items, they will complete a Minute to Win it challenge to receive the item.

TOMS Campus Club has free giveaways of TOMS products and gift cards for event winners.

Teams will be given a limited budget, and at 11:30, teams will report to the Outdoor Living department where volunteers will be tallying the products and money. Whichever team buys the most items within the hour with the limited budget will win the event.

The winning team’s charity or philanthropy of choice will receive the money TOMS Club has raised so far this year.

By midnight, TOMS Campus Club will reveal the total number of products donated, the winning team and amount the winning teams charity or philanthropy will receive. Shuttles will then return students to Campus.

Founder and Student Advisor Rodrigo

Patterson said, “We wanted something that students could actually see the impact of what they’re doing … This is something that really does a better job connecting students to the time and money they’re giving.”

“We wanted something that students could actually see the impact of what they’re doing.”

- Rodrigo Patterson, Founder and Student Advisor Sophomore Valerie Schweizer, the Community Outreach Chair for TOMS Campus Club, agrees with Patterson, saying that the most exciting thing is how hands-on this event will be.

Not only will the winning team’s philanthropy or charity benefit, but the items that

teams shop for at Walmart will be donated to Project Connect, a local organization for those affected by homelessness. Project Connect offers hot meals, nonperishable food items, hygiene products, clothing, doctors, voter registration information, and job interview advice to those in need here in Bowling Green and Wood County.

Barwinski said she was excited to see how big of an impact the event will have, especially since it will help both the community and a larger organization.

T he members of TOMS Ca mpus Club hope to ma ke t he Giv i ng Spree a n a n nua l event.

Teams of six or less can register for Giving Spree until midnight on Thursday, Sept. 24 for $25 per team. The event will have both community and student teams participating. If students cannot afford to make a team, but would like to participate, TOMS Campus Club is looking for volunteers to help run the event as well.

Patterson said, “I’m excited to go back in a week and look back at Giving Spree … and see the impact that we actually had.”

Students scare theme park guests for weekend job

By Jessica Speweike Reporter Even though Halloween is still a few weeks away, the monsters have already begun their reign of terror.

Senior sports management major Amanda Karr and other University students are taking part in the annual HalloWeekends at Cedar Point.

Karr, a screamster who works at the haunted houses, said the application process for HalloWeekends begins in July.

Screamsters are the ghouls and monsters that roam the haunted attractions and the park throughout the evening at Cedar Point.

“When you have about 300 employees that are there for one weekend, it takes a lot for the hiring process,” said Matt Hofmann, a senior Asian studies major. “Even though they have a good amount of applications, they want as many applications as they can (get)…”

Hofmann also said there’s “nothing worse

than a haunted house that only has like four or five people in it.”

Students can apply online and enter the “haunt code” and if the application is accepted, students must then go to Cedar Point and fill out paperwork there as well.

“I knew that they were hiring,” said Karr, “cause what they do is they put up posters all over Cedar Point, and I have a season pass up there.”

Students who work at Cedar Point during HalloWeekends have the option of carpooling, driving solo or taking a bus provided by the amusement park. “(The) bus comes and goes to Offenhauer… then it’ll go to the Harshman shuttle stop,” said Karr. “It’ll bring us back Sunday nights.”

Karr and Hofmann take the bus to work, but drive home separately on Sundays.

PEOPLEON THESTREET Where would you want to go on a shopping spree and why?

Providing a definition of rights In this week’s column, I am going to take on a difficult philosophical task and explain what constitutes a right. That is, I am going to construct a definition to separate the things that are valid rights from the things that are not valid rights; even when it seems like the thing ought to be a right.

My definition of a right is simple. A right is a metaphysical tool to increase one’s ability toward pursuing life, liberty a nd happiness, t hose being ultimate rights themselves, that does not infringe upon a not her person’s pu rsua nce toward life, liberty or happiness. By life I mean living. By liberty I mean a state of being unencumbered. By happiness I mean fulfillment.

W hen I say that life, libert y and happiness are ultimate rights, I mean that they are instantly granted to a person at the moment of their existence. At that point a person is alive, unencumbered and begins attaining fulfillment.

There is room for debate with this definition, especially as I introduce my next task. Utilizing the characterization and parameters I have set forth, what then represents a valid right? For examples one doesn’t have to go very far. The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to

the Constitution of the United States, does a fine job of detailing the fairest notion of rights yet defined by the mind of mankind.

The rights of speech, expression, religion, petitioning, and gathering, as set in the first amendment, are a great start. These things are indeed vital to the pursuance of life, liberty and happiness, and do not in themselves infringe upon anyone. They are practiced by individuals and remain within the power of individuals without externally affecting others intrinsically. That is, it requires an extra step for these rights to cause any effect on another person. They do not cause an effect on their own.

Moving along, the second amendment details a person’s right to obtaining and maintaining the means of defense in the face of infringement on their rights.

The right to maintain a home without bowing to the pressure of sharing it coercively with others is covered by the

third amendment. The right to maintain a sense of privacy is covered by the fourth. So on and so forth, the rest of the first ten amendments to the Constitution provide sound and valid examples of rights. As do other amendments, such as the 13th and 14th prohibiting slavery and guaranteeing citizenship respectively.

The American Constitution indeed does a fine job in listing proper rights, save for a few exceptions that must be explored and are being explored constantly.

A not her aspect of a right is t hat it must be g ua ra nteed perpetua lly. That is, t he ex istence of t he right must be ensured, protected a nd enforced if need be.

One ca nnot ta ke away a person’s right to expression in order to protect a not her’s right to speech, for exa mple.

Using these parameters, what then can be said to not be a right? That is a huge

Philosophy is intrinsically human

This column was originally published in The BG News on Sept. 1, 2015 What images come to mind when you think of a philosopher?

Chances are, they involve an old man with a beard and a toga sitting in some ancient city, or perhaps on a mountaintop. Or maybe a young hipster guy with a quotation from Nietzsche tattooed across his chest suffering from angst in a coffee shop. The image I would like to suggest is of yourself, because I think you, and I, are philosophers. Or at least we can be if we want to be.

As I’ve been saying to the students in my philosophy classes these past couple of weeks, as I introduce them to the subject, being a philosopher is part of what it is to be a human being. Humans, unlike any other animals we know of, don’t just unreflectively react to their environment. Rather, we wonder why things happen the way they do and are the way they are. Children seem to do this very naturally and often exasperate their parents with constant questioning and desires for ultimate answers.

Unfortunately, at some point, many of us forget this part of ourselves.

This urge to understand the world we live in gave rise to the mythological explanations we find in all cultures of the world. People tend to explain things in terms of what they are familiar with. In my native country of

Continued from Page 4 question admittedly, so I will narrow it down by introducing the concept of those things that seem like they ought to be a right. That is, those things increasing one’s ability toward pursuing life, liberty and happiness, but infringe upon other rights and cannot be guaranteed without infringement. The f irst and easiest example that comes to my mind is food.

Food is indeed a much-required element i n l iv i ng u nencu mbered and finding fulfillment. As are other nutrients such as water and sunlight.

Therefore it seems immediately that these things ought to be a right to every person. However, they cannot be without creating infringement upon the rights of others, and they cannot be guaranteed without creating infringement upon the

New Zealand, its first inhabitants, the Maori, accounted for rain as the tears shed by the skygod Rangi for his beloved wife Papatuanuku, the earth-goddess, because he had been forced apart from her by the Maori superhero Maui.

Mythologies often become entwined with religious explanations, which posit powerful mysterious beings that created the universe and determine its workings, though these beings are so superior and different to us that we have little ability to understand them or their processes.

Religions tend to emphasize the importance of faith, conceived as belief that is not in need of proof. Where philosophy is often said to diverge from religion and mythology is in its reliance on reasoning and evidence derived from our senses in order to reach explanations, although this evidence is always subject to questioning and doubt. It could be argued that in our rational, philosophical explanations, we are still explaining the world in terms of ideas we can understand and relate to. Philosophers reply that at least we are open to the idea of challenging and rejecting those beliefs if they

rights of others. This is because food is not always available to ever y person.

Unless a person is liv ing under an apple tree perpetually fruiting, food is literally not just going to fall into one’s lap. Indeed, food often has to be grown, raised, harvested or produced.

That is where infringement would occur if food were to be considered a right. Not only would it require externally effecting others, but any attempt at guaranteeing the availability of food would ultimately lead to coercing people to produce it, and thus denying their right to pursuing life, liberty and happiness.

This can be extended to ser v ices w it hout products as well, such as healthcare. To guarantee a person the right to hea lthcare, another person would be ultimately forced to give up their rights in order to provide it.

are shown to lack sufficient rational backing.

One of my favorite passages in philosophy is from Plato’s dialogue “Gorgias” where Socrates is taken to task by a young, bold firebrand called Callicles. Callicles says that a little philosophy is fine as part of a broad, liberal education, but that someone who carries on with it beyond adolescence is what we today might call “developmentally challenged” and deserves a whipping! I like this passage because it shows a philosopher, that is, Plato, prepared to put even his most beloved friend and teacher, Socrates, in the position of one whose chosen way of life is being questioned in the most vigorous way; philosophy unafraid to question itself!

The philosophical urge is at the heart of all education and the disciplines we see our colleges and universities divided into. The reason I ended up majoring in philosophy in my undergraduate degree was that I was interested in every subject but found that when I looked into each I started to come across questions that fall into the realm of philosophy. This even happened when I took a class in accounting! To me, philosophy was the key to all disciplines.

You may not get many chances in life to spend some time in an environment where you can engage in the process of philosophical wondering and discussion with others who are interested in doing the same. You do have that chance while you are here at university. Our philosophy department has some faculty members who

However, there is a sort of loophole there. Since food and health, etc., are required in the pursuance of life, liberty and happiness, one does a have a right to obtain them. Nobody can stop a person from producing or finding food or finding someone to give him or her medical care, without infringing upon his or her rights.

I realize I took on a heav y task for a simple forum column, and I know there are many details I have left out. But I still hope that I have succinctly provided an apt definition of what is and what is not a right. If I have missed the mark or gotten it totally wrong, please feel free to reach out or respond to me.

rank alongside those you will find anywhere in the world. Take a class with one of them. Meet others who want to pursue this desire to do what it is that makes us distinctively human.

And in case you think taking a philosophy class isn’t practical don’t take my word, but listen to what Dov Seidman, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of LRN said: “Philosophy is powerful enough to tackle sprawling issues.

The discipline remains amazingly practical after existing for more than 2,000 years … The financial and climate crises, global consumption habits and other 21st-century challenges call for a “killer app.” I think I’ve found it: philosophy.”

There are some other ways to get involved in philosophy at BGSU as well. Our department supports the Philosophy Club, a group of students who meet informally on a weekly basis to discuss philosophical questions (their first meeting for the semester is Thursday September 3 at 7:30 pm in 301 Shatzel Hall, pizza and pop will be supplied). Another way is by joining the Ethics Bowl team. This is a team which debates the ethics of cases that are given to them in advance against teams from other colleges in a regional competition every Fall. We are about to start organizing this year’s team, so if you are interested in finding out more about it, contact me.

With employees from around the world, Cedar Point is home to a diverse group of people.

“I can guarantee you there is at least one person from every country…working at Cedar Point,” said Hofmann.

Karr and Hofmann said because they’re screamsters, they have the freedom to create their characters and make them as scary as the want.

“We still get to have fun while we’re working and at the same time, watching everybody’s reactions and kind of involving the guests with us is, I think, one of the coolest things,” said Karr.

Screamsters are not supposed to be

touched by the guests nor are they supposed to touch the guests; this doesn’t stop them from thoroughly scaring their guests.

“It fills me with pride knowing…I scared (guests) so bad they ran out of the entrance and never came back,” said Hofmann.

Scottish synthpop group Chvrches shows growth with second album

Cole Highhouse Pulse Reporter

PHOTO PROVIDED

Chv rches’ sophomore a lbum, “Ever y Open Eye,” is now available to be streamed via NPR’s First Listen. The project is set to be released Sept. 25, alongside the special edition, which includes three additional songs.

The Scottish synthpop trio consists of Lauren Mayberry (lead vocals, synthesizers, samplers), Iain Cook (synthesizers,

guitar, bass, vocals) and Martin Doherty (synthesizers, samplers, vocals).

Arriving almost exactly two years after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, “The Bones of What You Believe,” their newest release “Every Open Eye” showcases a significant amount of growth from the band.

The album starts off with “Never Ending Circles” and “Leave a Trace”, two of the singles released prior to the stream.

In these songs Mayberry displays this new aggressive, feisty side of her voice we had not heard previously in The Bones of What You Believe. The album continues on with the very danceable “Keep You On My Side” and the begging to be sung along to song “Make Them Gold” with an abundance of 80s pop inspired scattered tings and spacious drums.

Mayberry’s vocal growth shines again through the impressive progression on “Clearest Blue”. Following this is Doherty’s sole lead vocal appearance on the album, “High Enough to Carry You Over,” a vast

improvement from his not-so-memorable song on “The Bones of What You Believe.”

Placed right between two of the album’s slower songs is the fast-paced, pop anthem, “Empty Threat” preceding “Down Side of Me” which contains some of the most standout production and song structure on the record along with enjoyable vocal effects and layering.

In “Playing Dead” and “Bury It” Chvrches 80s pop inf luences become even more apparent. The band’s signature sounding vocal clips paired with a stunning performance by Mayberry allow for a satisfying build up to the album’s conclusion.

In the closing song “Afterglow”, without drums, alongside a simple synth pattern, Mayberry appears more vulnerable than ever. What seems to be building towards an illustrious synth-heavy climax instead fades out as Mayberry repeats the fitting statement “I’ve given up all I can”.

With “The Bones of What You Believe” being one of the most influential synthpop albums of the past decade, following

it up was no easy task. In “Every Open Eye” Chvrches shows growth, while still keeping and improving on their signature sound. They proved themselves once again to be a front-runner in the world of dance-pop. With it’s punchy synths and impressive vocals “Every Open Eye” has its sights set for the top of the charts.

Swift’s “1989” concert tour stops by Columbus, does not disappoint Lauren Fitz Pulse Reporter “I’m Taylor. Let me tell you a little about myself,” Taylor Swift said when she came out on stage Friday Sept. 18 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus.

This is what I’ve been waiting for since my friend, Katelyn, asked me if I wanted to see Swift in concert back in May. We’d counted down the days, weeks and months to the concert, and now that it was finally here, we were beyond excited.

Australian singer Vance Joy opened the show for Swift, playing a set of songs, including his song “Mess is Mine,” a cover of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” and finished his 30 minute set with “Rip Tide.”

Swift performed most of her songs from her most recent CD “1989” and did a few throwback tracks from her “Fearless” days. All the songs she performed were met with loud applause and screams from fans.

In between her costume changes, she would play videos featuring her famous friends, including Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and best friend Abigail (yes, the Abigail mentioned in Swift’s song “Fifteen”).

Katelyn and I were even treated to a special guest, Sydney Sierota (lead singer of Echosmith), who came over from the Schottenstein Center, where the band opened for Twenty One Pilots that same night. Sierota and Swift serenaded the audience with Echosmith’s “Cool Kids.”

The concert was full of energy, as Swift said she wanted to match the upbeat sound from “1989,” and that was reflected in the songs she performed, which were either sung at their normal tempo - especially hits like “Bad Blood” and her finale performance of “Shake It Off” while some songs, like “Love Story,” were sped up in order to fit in with the music from “1989,” which the audience seemed to like.

My favorite part of the concert was listening to “I Knew You Were Trouble,” which I

thought had a much grittier sound than what was played on the radio and what was on the “Red” CD. In fact, many of the songs she performed were grittier or more rock-based than originally recorded and those were my favorite parts of the concert.

What got me the most emotional during the concert - and Swift herself - was when Swift took a break from singing to address the audience, saying it made her so happy to see people screaming the lyrics to her songs and dancing as if they didn’t have a care in world. As Swift told audience members to never change, no matter what other people said and “don’t let those cynical people make you feel bad about yourself,” it could have come off to the audience as if she was being too preachy (which people around us did comment on). But, coming from Swift, who has been picked on by the media for her relationships and who started crying when she was talking to us, it was just what some in the audience needed to hear.

Depp gives a terrifying turn as real-life mobster

by Jennifer Verzuh Pulse Editor Johnny Depp relishes in transforming himself completely in films, whether he’s portraying a real person (such as director Ed Wood, author J. M. Barrie and outlaw John Dillinger) or a larger than life fictional character (like Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka or Jack Sparrow).

But rarely has he disappeared into a role so effectively as he does in his latest movie “Black Mass,” a gritty true crime film from director Scott Cooper.

Depp plays notorious real-life mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger, whose gang controlled organized crime in Boston in the 70s and 80s. Their crime-filled reign went largely unchecked by the police for over a decade due

in part to Bulger’s role as an FBI informant. The film traces Bulger’s rise to power and the dangerous alliance he forms with FBI agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), a childhood friend of Bulger’s from South Boston, to take down a rival mafia group. Connolly is eager to make the deal despite the hesitation of his superiors (Kevin Bacon and, in an odd casting choice, Adam Scott). Their uneasy partnership is easily the best aspect of the film. Edgerton revels in the moral grayness as the lines between professional and personal and right and wrong blur the longer their relationship goes on.

Depp is absolutely riveting and terrifying as Bulger. It’s been years since we’ve seen him quite this good and grounded. He swiftly switches from charismatic brother and friend to ruthless killer in seconds. With dead eyes

and an unflinching gaze, Depp creates an unforgettable and frankly intimidating figure. There’s a particular scene in which Bulger threatens Connolly’s wife (Julianne Nicholson), toying with her emotionally as he moves his hand across her face and onto her neck. It’s a harrowing moment that drives home many of the film’s themes and is easily one of the best scenes Depp has ever done, hands down.

The film doesn’t shy away from Bulger’s brutality or ask us to feel sympathetic for him as he commits murder after murder, yet we’re also allowed to see a very human side of him. Through his gentler interactions with his young son and wife (a surprisingly strong Dakota Johnson), and especially his relationship with his politician brother William Bulger

(Benedict Cumberbatch, whose Boston accent leaves something to be desired) the screenplay allows the audience to see all sides of this man.

There is a real, genuine degree of trust, respect and love between the brothers. Oddly enough it may be the strongest relationship within the film. Cumberbatch manages to convey the love and care his character feels towards Bulger through subtle body cues and tone alone.

Unfortunately, the plotline between these two never seems fully realized. In fact, there are several subplots the film would do much better without. However, thanks in large part to Depp’s compelling lead performance and the strength of the supporting cast, “Black Mass” is an excellent, intelligent and realistic crime film that makes thrilling use of a fascinating true story.

Mens soccer loses second game of the season Falcons give up six goals to the Dayton Flyers in their second shutout loss in the past three games

By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green mens soccer team lost to the Dayton Flyers 6-0 on Friday night at Baujan Field in Dayton.

Head coach Eric Nichols said that the team played well despite the loss.

“I was really pleased with the first half,” Nichols said. “I was also quite impressed with how well Dayton did with their few chances in that half. They had a couple really good moments that stung us, but

even at halftime, I fully believed that we could get something back.”

The team’s defense faltered against the top scoring offense in the Atlantic 10 Conference, as they allowed nine shots on goal to come towards junior goalkeeper Ryan Heuton, six of which made their way into the net for goals.

Nichols said that the second half was where the match began to go bad.

“We couldn’t catch a break there early in the second half,” he said. “They stung us again and then the game got out of hand.”

The team’s offense was unable to fare much better than the defense, as only three shots were directed on goal. Those getting shots on goal included junior Jacob Roth, junior Joe Sullivan and freshman Ryan Ross, who is still searching for his first goal at the college level. The team was able to keep pace with Dayton in terms of total shots, with 15 to their 17.

The first goal scored by Dayton occurred 13:09 into the match as senior forward Maik Schoonderwoerd scored with assists from senior defender Andrew Lightner and junior midfielder Tommy Harr. Harr received a pass from Lightner along the left side of the pitch, where he then crossed to Schoonderwoerd for the score.

Schoonderwoerd would score again in the second half, doubling his goal total on the

season to four goals.

The team was beat by a set piece goal for the second match in a row, as junior defender Lalas Abubakar scored off a corner kick taken by senior forward Michael Frasca after a Heuton save.

Also scoring for Dayton was senior midfielder Kissima Bojang, Frasca, and senior midfielder Anthony Keene.

With the loss, the Falcons are now standing at a 6-2 overall, which still places them second in the Mid-American Conference.

Dayton increased their standing lead in the Atlantic 10 Conference, now holding a 5-3-1 overall record.

“Certainly not a good result, but it is just one game.” Nichols said. “We will review this game, learn from it and get better as we get ready for Michigan State next week.”

Womens soccer start conference play

By Evan Hayes Sports Reporter The Bowling Green womens soccer team is hoping to start their conference schedule off strong as they go into their MAC opener with Miami University Friday. After wrapping up their non-conference schedule with a record of 4-3-1, there is a lot of optimism for the young Falcons team.

“We’re excited to go into MAC play,” junior midfielder Alexa Cheripko said. “It’s a good time to compete against other people, and this is what we work for. This is the time of the season that matters the most, so we’re confident and excited to see what we can do.”

BG’s non-conference play showed the

improvements that the team has made week after week in practice, as the program has made significant progress within head coach Lindsay Basalyga’s system. The team is much improved from the past two seasons, but they continue to work hard in preparation for the MAC. “It’s a great time for us to see them managing pressure. I’ve loved how loose they’ve been in training and I’m excited to see how they put together into playing this weekend,” Basalyga said. “I think they feel good. We’re not really talking about it much. It’s more just the actions that we’re seeing on the field. But from what I see, we’re ready to go and we have the ability to start making some noise in the MAC.” A f ter t heir loss aga inst But ler last

week, the Falcons have been focusing on their transition game while also tr ying to refine the details of the attack in order to make crisper passes and better scoring opportunities.

“Just working on building in certain areas of the field,, and just getting into the attack, and focusing on possession style and bringing the ball up to the final third of the field and finishing our scoring chances,” junior midfielder Melissa Needham said.

The confidence that the Falcons currently have has stemmed from their dynamic offensive play this season, giving optimism to their ability to compete with a competitive conference. They lead the MAC in goals scored and total points, with

17 and 50 respectively.

In order to start their conference schedule off strong, Basalyga knows her team will have to play to their strengths against a Miami team that is 4-3-0 and is riding a two game winning streak.

“We have been working on details of just making each other look good, the type of passes we make, the weight of the pass, moving our feet. Honestly, we’ve just been sharpening up details,” Basalyga said. “We have to play to our strengths, trust the process, trust the training and really just let loose and have fun.”

Students seek awareness of GMOs

By Rachel Kielar Reporter Chipotle, a popular restaurant among college students, has recently come under fire for alleged false advertising concerning whether or not their food contains GMO’s. They do.

Fast food restaurants come attached with grease, calories, and an abundance of nutritional facts ordered by the FDA, but the stigma behind what we are eating is growing.

The chain’s claims to the contrar y raise an important question of what we are putting into our bodies when we eat at these establishments.

GMO stands for ‘genetically modified organisms’, or living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, or GE. This relatively new science creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.

Virtually all-commercial GMOs are engi-

neered to withstand direct application of herbicide and-or to produce an insecticide.

According to nongmoproject.org, despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.

Meanwhile, some evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.

Students have mixed feelings on their food containing GMOs. “I care, but it doesn’t change my opinion on where to eat,” junior Kalyn Osborne said.

Freshman Christina Lopez disagrees.

“I’m a believer in all-natural, so if I knew a certain place put GMOs in their food, I wouldn’t go there,” Lopez said.

Students’ opinions may differ, but most people prefer to be aware of what exactly they are eating.

Polls show that a significant majority of North Americans would like to be able to tell

if the food they’re purchasing contains GMOs. A 2012 Mellman Group poll found that 91 percent of American consumers wanted GMOs labeled.

According to a recent CBS and New York Times poll, 53 percent of consumers said they would not buy food that has been genetically modified.

Although 80 percent of conventional food contains genetically modified substances, in most cases, students are not aware which eateries use GMOs and which do not.

O pi n ion v a r ie s f rom st udent to hea lt h professiona ls.

Sue Perkins, an administrator specializing in college and adult health, said GMOs focus more on diet then health and lifestyle choices.

“I don’t really have an opinion on it,” Perkins said. “I feel like it’s more a dietary opinion than what I usually handle.”
