Speaker addresses environmental practices

By Jessica Speweike Reporter

PHOTO BY ISAIAH VAZQUEZ

Thomas Linzey speaks to audience in Olscamp about environmental rights.

In front of a modest crowd in Olscamp Hall, Thomas Linzey spoke about his ideal way to fight for environmental rights: revolt.

Linzey is the executive director of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), a law firm specializing in environmental law.

The CELDF began as a public interest law firm, but transformed into an organization focused on the“right to local self-government and the rights of nature,” according to the CELDF’s website.

At his presentation, Linzey discussed the obstacles communities across the United States faced when they tried to ban corporations from doing things like factory farming

or fracking.

He described Ohio as a “hotspot” for this topic and said there were many communities willing to fight to keep detrimental corporations out of their areas.

Linzey and the CELDF team spent years fighting big corporations in court over missing signatures on permits and other loopholes to try and get the permits revoked.

But Linzey said this ultimately backfired as the corporations would take the problems the CELDF found, get the correct signatures and make their permits “bulletproof.”

“It’s like chess,” Lindsey said. “If you’re always on the defense, you’re always going to lose.”

Taking the fight to the big corporations,

Athlete speaks on gender transition experience

By Hannah Benson Campus Editor “Just hang on,” is the advice Brent Durah would have given a younger, female version of himself.

Durah, who is a junior at the University, spoke about his transition from a female athlete to a male athlete at We Are One Team’s (WA1T) second event of the year on Nov. 16.

The goal of Durah’s speech was to create an educational opportunity, a safe place for Durah to share and an opportunity for dialogue, said Keenan Colquitt, member of WA1T and doctoral student at the University.

“Brent is able to tell his story in a funny, entertaining and educational way,” Colquitt said. “It’s important for people to hear because it is a hard topic for a lot of people and this is a really good opportunity. It was wonderful seeing so many receptive people.”

Starting his athletic career at the University on the women’s cross country/ track and field teams, Durah said the tran-

sition to the men’s cross country team has been a challenge.

Durah said he always felt different from other girls and that growing up was more difficult than the average girl.

“The first time I wore a bra I cried,” Durah said. “I was even jealous of my brother’s puberty.”

While Durah felt different, he said he just thought he was a lesbian. So, he came out as gay his sophomore year of high school.

After coming out and still not feeling like himself, Durah researched what it meant to be trans.

Eventually, Durah said he decided to transition in March 2014.

When he came out as trans to his close friends, Durah said he was part of the women’s cross country/track and field teams and had a girlfriend.

His girlfriend, who he had been dating since freshman year, said she was willing to

“Porch. Chill out, have a beer and smoke.”

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

Texas fighting women’s rights A study released by the Texas Policy Evaluation Project on Nov. 17 of this year has found that at least 1.7 percent of respondents, females aged 18-49, have attempted to selfinduce abortion, translating to around 100,000 women.

This study was in response to the HB2 law being enacted in Texas that, in practiced, closed half of Texas’s abortion agencies.

Although abortion remains legal in Texas, under the U.S. government’s law, the closing of clinics severely limits many women’s access to safe abortion in a medical environment.

As poverty is one of the most prominent reasons cited for a woman’s decision to end her pregnancy, women who feel they must abort their pregnancy probably don’t have the money or the support network to traipse across the state to have the procedure.

The results are dramatic. If at least 100,000 women have tried to perform abortion on themselves, 100,000 women have risked

Same Mievre Guest Columnist their lives and their health to exercise a right that they legally have, given to them by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade.

If those 100,000 women were located in Indiana, they might be sent to be prosecuted, as Purvi Patel was after having a miscarriage that was thought to have been a self-induced abortion.

What does this mean? Many people feel that abortion is wrong. But what do right and wrong really mean in the context of U.S. law?

What place does right and wrong have in the formation of fundamental rights?

In reality, American ideas of freedom are codified with something that people might

actually find objectionable—people have the right to do things that might be “wrong,” based on fundamental human rights. Most people probably think that worshipping Satan is wrong and objectionable, but this is a right that is specifically protected by U.S. law.

People still have this right. Not many people should argue that they should have this right.

But for some reason, people don’t feel that women specifically have the right to control what goes on in their own bodies.

The most common response to this is, “But this is not just the woman’s body! Another human body is involved, the baby’s body!”

However, this line of thought has drastic implications.

U.S medical law states that no one is entitled to the use of someone else’s body, even if it is a matter of life or death. No

ISIS promotes Islamophobia, be compassionate

I want to talk about France.

Only, I don’t really know what part I want to actually discuss.

When I first starting writing this column, it became an angry rant, full of hell fury and bitter diatribes against a lot of different people. Whether it was the ignorant reactions toward Islam; or the strange unbalanced reaction toward Paris that wasn’t there for Lebanon or Syria; or how the immediate call for war only hurts everyone worse in the end; I wanted to tear it all apart.

But then I watched a video from an Australian news network, news.com.au. In it, an anchor named Waleed Aly gives an editorial on why he is trying to stem his anger and fear in the wake of the tragedy in Paris. And the point he makes is a lesson a lot of people really need to take into consideration. I’ll summarize it as best as I can here.

ISIS is a group of radical, extreme, terroristic and generally unkind people who want nothing more than bringing death and destruction in the name of their twisted religious belief.

Basically, they wish to bring about the end of times by creating a total war between all Muslims and all non-believers.

They strive to get to this point not only through their own mayhem in the Middle East, but also through marketing and recruiting. In fact, because ISIS is so small, so weak and under constant pressure from

Then why is a woman forced to lend her body to another living being for a whole nine months, at a huge cost to her life and health?

Why do dead bodies have more rights than female, adult humans?

Roe v. Wade has been a protection for women against those seeking to restrict their rights.

However, on Friday Nov. 13, the Supreme Court announced that it would be hearing the case Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole, with the aim of deciding whether or not the HB2 law is constitutional.

If the Supreme Court strikes down HB2, then it may spell the end for restrictive abortion laws in America. But if the law is

Bryan Eberly Columnist the saner people in the world (they literally lose territory and manpower every day), they must rely on gathering more troops and more support.

After September 11, there was a huge reaction from the Western world against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. America was not hesitant about throwing troops, bombs and money at destroying anyone tied to the attacks on their soil.

President Bush even went so far as spinning the threat of attack from Saddam Hussain so well, the country was stuck in a quagmire war in Iraq for a decade.

America heightened their security and began a subtle witchhunt against Muslims in America and around the world. I don’t have enough room here to go into every account of Western attacks on Islam here, but I will just say that there are plenty of people at Guantanamo Bay who haven’t even been charged with a crime.

America and the West have also done much in their power to stabilize and normalize threats in the Middle East, basically acting as a new colonizer--a parental figure in a place full of people who don’t

The women in Texas are desperately trying to exercise their rights, and the payment may be their lives, as they poison themselves to end pregnancies.

Texas is failing women, and so is Indiana and other states that are looking to restrict access to abortion, and if the Supreme Court will be failing women as well.

We all owe it to women to fight for their rights. Women have been second-class citizens for too long, and for a country that claims to be a bastion of freedom, half of the population should never be unfree.

want or need it.

Adding this all together, including the confusing paradox of America sending weapons to people who despise the nation, and it is clear how ISIS came to power.

Angry men with a specific belief and stance against the Western world have weapons and a huge swath of war-torn land.

Is it any wonder?

Now ISIS knows how to grow their organization. They know how to recruit more people, gain more land and cause more harm. They want perpetual war, fear and anger from the West.

They do this by either launching attacks against targets in their area, or claiming responsibility for attacks in other areas.

Dallas, Sydney, Paris, etc., have yet to be proven as linked to ISIS. They have only been claimed by ISIS. They take the blame (though they are actually far too weak to launch such attacks).

And why?

So that America and the West can have an easy target to fire back at in anger. After Paris, not a day later, there were French bombs falling in the city of Reqqa, Syria, on a supposed ISIS stronghold. Big parts of the city were destroyed and innocent people died as collateral damage.

France closed their borders. America instantly began debating on whether or not they will accept refugees. Other parts of the Western world started to take the

same cock-eyed look toward their Muslim populations that they had after 9/11. Raids were launched. Innocent people were put in jeopardy. The common populations in several countries immediately began screaming out toward Muslims as followers of a dangerous religion, and bent on killing everyone. Et cetera.

So now, all ISIS has to do is say “do you see how they feel about Islam? Do you see how they treat Muslims? They are not your friend. They are your enemy. Join us against them.”

Friends, I implore you to not help these weak thugs out. I beg you to calm your reactions to violence to an area below inflicting violence yourself. I beg you to take control of any anger or fear you have, and turn it into a different form of energy: compassion.

Compassion and love are the only tools we have against fear and hate. I’ve run out of room today, so I will save an expansion into this notion for another time.

In the meantime, please do me a favor and google this headline: “Waleed Aly hits out at ISIS over Paris attacks, calls them weak”.

It just might be the most important lesson to learn at this time.

be open minded and didn’t hesitate when Durah asked her to call him her boyfriend.

“She just wants me to be happy,” Durah said.

He said he experienced similar positivity from his teammates.

Rachel Durbin, Durah’s teammate and freshman year roommate, said she was open minded when Durah made his decision to transition and told her.

“He sat me down and said, ‘I’m gonna be Brent. Refer to me as he/him/his. I’m starting my trans journey,’” Durbin said.

“He’s such a great friend that none of it ever phased me.”

She said she had never gone through someone transitioning before, but that she didn’t have to in order to be accepting of Brent.

“You don’t have to be experienced, as long as you have an open mind,” she said.

Durbin said having him switch teams was “weird, but it worked.”

She also said he set a precedent at the University in athletics.

“Before this, there was never rules or outlines on how to deal with this, but he did it,” Durbin said.

Durah started taking testosterone on January 27, 2015. Because testosterone is a banned substance by the NCAA, Durah needed permission to take it and switch teams. He said he will need to take testosterone for the rest of his life.

This fall, he was officially eligible to be part of the men’s team.

Durah said there was a difficult period when he wasn’t on either team, but was practicing with the women.

“I didn’t know who I was in terms of sports because I wasn’t on either team and I was just kind of there,” he said.

He said switching teams has been hard because transitioning genders has made it taxing on his body.

“I ask a lot out of my body to be a collegiate athlete and transition at the same time,” he said.

With his new perspective, Durah said male privilege is something that stands out to him now.

“The world caters to men,” he said. “To have people have different perceptions for me and things I should know was very interesting.”

He said being born a woman gives him a level of understanding other men may not have.

“It makes me a better man to understand women on the level that I do,” he said.

Durah hopes to maintain his changes, continue his transition, change his legal name and compete next fall with his team.

“It is really tough to be a type A person and not be able to contribute to my team’s success.”

Durah said not everybody’s transition is the same, but encourages those who are going through the process to seek support and to “just hang on.”

Members of Bad Genetics strike a squad pose after one of their recent shows. Their next performance is this Friday at 7pm in the Union, room 208.

Students utilize creativity, spontaneity in improv

By Sam Sharp Pulse Reporter Put five to nine people in a room, give them a topic and watch them as they attempt to act out wacky impromptu situations. This type of unscripted acting is called improv and there are four different teams on campus that offer free weekly shows to the public.

The four improv groups on campus are: No-Name-Basis (short form), The Plastic Shatners (short form), Lady Parts (short form) and Bad Genetics (long form).

“You will laugh. You will cry. You will laugh hysterically. You will cry because you’re laughing so hard. It’s just a lot of fun. It’s fun--that’s the best way of putting it, because (with) live performances there’s always an element of experience that video does not have,” said sophomore No-Name-Basis member Jameson Kamp.

Creativity is a necessary skill needed for improv acting and it’s often called upon when the audience suggests ideas that are hard to embody, like “the War of 1812” or “Atlantis.”

The only safety net that the actors get is each other and their ability to act on the spot.

“One of the things about improv is that you won’t actually want to use props. In long form you sometimes use two chairs, and those chairs can be anything you want them to be.

In short form you normally don’t want to use things like a piece of clothing you have or hat--you pantomime everything,” said Kamp.

However, the performers do not walk into the room mentally unprepared. They go through a series of warm-ups that get them on their metaphorical and literal toes.

“What they do is they get us going, they get blood moving and our brains going. We do a lot of exercises like ‘Busted Tee,’ where you will describe a T-shirt and the person next to you gives it a quote that gets the creativity going,” said senior director of Bad Genetics Adam Lewton.

These vocal exercises may seem strange when being observed, but they help the performers get into a positive mind set.

“It’s very fun. It brings a lot, you can express a lot of emotion with it. It’s a great stress

reliever and it’s a great way to socialize with people. Performing in general has always been something I’ve enjoyed and making people laugh has never been a bad thing,” Kamp said.

Spontaneity is a key element of improv comedy because none of the performers are given a script to base their actions off of.

Performers are expected to deal with the suggestion that their director accepts from an audience member.

“I can’t stress enough how important it is that an audience member understands that we have no pre-conceived notions about what’s about to happen during the show,” said student director of The Plastic Shatners and Lady Parts performer Natalie Wilson.

Wilson became the director of the Shatners last fall and balances her time between directing them and honing her own performing skills for Lady Parts. Lady Parts have a philanthropic nature to their team because they sell tickets to their Women in Comedy show that benefits female victims of abuse.

“The way that I want to make the world

Next Show: November at 5 p.m. in Olscamp 101 Show Theme: Fourth Annual Women in Comedy Show Facebook: Lady Parts

better is by making people feel happy and feel good,” said Wilson.

Improv acting isn’t just for theater majors; many of the participants are a variety of majors. Improv veteran member of Bad Genetics and psychology major Katya Dachik got involved last year at the annual fall semester auditions after a friend suggested she try out for a spot on one of the teams.

“I like the team dynamic of it- just knowing that you have support no matter what you go out with- so that there’s no chance of something going badly- because someone’s always going to be there to support you and justify your actions and make it funny,” said Dachik.

Auditions for this year’s teams have passed, but prospective members have the opportunity to try out for any of the four teams next fall semester. Getting involved with an improv team can be hectic, intimidating,crazy and unexpected.

“The best things happen when you least expect them to, and that’s improv; it’s unexpected,” said Dachik.

Holiday film “Love the Coopers” wastes it’s cast

By Tyler Austin Pulse Reporter I have no idea why John Goodman, Diane Keaton, or just about everyone in this cast wanted to be involved in “Love the Coopers.”

I have not seen such an unfunny, meanspirited Christmas movie since “Christmas with the Kranks” and “Surviving Christmas.” “Love the Coopers” is the movie equivalent of receiving coal in your Christmas stocking.

The film is about the Cooper family trying to get together for Christmas Eve. The parents, Charlotte (Keaton) and Sam

PHOTO PROVIDED

(Goodman), have three kids: Eleanor (Olivia Wilde), Emma (Marisa Tomei) and Hank (Ed Helms). This is an ensemble piece, so there are many plotlines going on at the same time. Eleanor convinces a returning soldier, Joe (Jake Lacy), to pretend to be her boyfriend in order to not disappoint her mother.

Emma tries to shoplift from the mall and is arrested, so Officer Williams (Anthony Mackie) drives her to the police station.

Hank is a single, unemployed father who tries his best to take care of his three

children. Bucky (Alan Arkin) is Charlotte’s father and he has a special friendship with a waitress (Amanda Seyfried). There are several other plot lines, but they have no affect on the overall story.

The film tries to be like “Love Actually” but falls flat on its face due to the lack of humor and charm. Majority of the characters are unlikeable jerks, especially Eleanor. She belittles Joe because of his beliefs in about every scene they’re in. The worst part is that director Jessie Nelson actually expects us to care whether or not Eleanor gets together

with Joe at the end of the film. Honestly, it feels like this is the worst outcome for Joe. All the jokes are duds (except for one scene when Joe jokes that he is an “alcoholic”) and some even forget to add the punch line. The acting ranges from genuine (Arkin is great in the film) to “doing this for a paycheck” (Mackie in particular barely changes emotion in the two scenes he is in). The tone of the movie is a mess. One moment it will try to be a goofy comedy and then it will be utterly serious. It feels like the writer, Steven Rodgers, cannot decide what movie he wants to make.

The only nice thing I could say about this movie is that the friendship between Bucky and Ruby is the only sweet and heart-warming parts in t he mov ie.

Arkin and Seyfried are the only ones that have chemistr y. They have nice moments together, like when they have a discussion of the movie “City Lights” (though it does break one of my golden rules which is never mention a far better movie during your movie).

If you are looking for a good, funny holiday movie to watch with your family, just watch “Christmas Vacation” or “A Miracle on 34th Street” (the 1947 original) again. Even the first “Die Hard” is a funnier holiday movie than “Love the Coopers.”

Local band releases their first full-length album

By Hannah Finnerty Pulse Reporter

Tuesday nights from 10 p.m. until midnight at Howard’s Club H are home to a trickle of patrons, a few pool tables and the haunting psychedelic sound of Tree No Leaves practicing some of the songs off of their newest album, “Skinwalkers.” The band based out of Bowling Green released their newest album on Oct. 17th.

Although the band has put out several shorter EPs, this is their first full length album. Tree No Leaves spent several months putting the album together which made this project slightly different from their past endeavors.

“With this album, we’ve spent over eight months working on it and we had never done that before as a band…This time there was no rush. The guys that were in the band at the time had all this time and wanted to make something substantial,” Dustin Galish said, founder and lead vocalist for the band. “There is more maturity to these songs because we took more

time with them.”

Members of the current edition of Tree No Leaves include Galish, Kurt Busson (drums), Calvin Cordy (guitar) and Adam Rice (bass). Rice recently replaced Josh Waterfield as the band’s bassist.

The four seem like an unlikely group.

Some with piercings, some without. Some wearing blazers and dress shoes, others in tie-dye. Cordy got his first guitar for Christmas when he was five, but Galish did not pick up an instrument until his 20s. All hailing from different regions of Ohio, the current band fell together through the timely grace of mutual friends and acquaintances.

However different they all may be, when

they take the stage they meld together effortlessly. There is an unmistakable and audible connection between the four when they play, Rice notes.

“We organically just mesh together. It doesn’t happen that often in music, and when it does happen, you just have to run with it,” Rice said about his band members.

The members are similar to their style; incredibly different but at the same time is something that fits together seamPHOTO PROVIDED lessly. Their sound is unique to say the least, as their songs switch from genre to genre, paying no regard to the traditional divisions between styles. It is hard to define such an idiosyn-

cratic sound, but the members describe themselves as heavy psychedelic soul.

“Psychedelic means boundary-dissolving…and we are trying to dissolve the boundaries between genres. We’ve done funk and blues and metal, reggae. It’s hard to put a label on us,” Cordy said.

Just like their sound, the band is progressive, trying new outlets and experimenting with more visual elements to their music, Busson said. Several of their songs have videos to accompany them. University student Jake Extine is assisting the band in producing their newest music video for their song Boogie Man. The music video is set to be released on Thanksgiving Day. Although the album took a while to fall together, the band is proud of the final product. Since the release of “Skinwalkers,” the band is itching to schedule more live shows to get more exposure.

“It’s a relief to have the album done, but it is also exciting because now we get to let people hear what we have worked for,” Galish said.

In some cases the CELDF handled, the state government actually made it a criminal act for communities to ban corporations from moving into their area.

H o w e v e r, b i g c o r p o r a t i o n s a r e o f t e n t h e e n t i t i e s w h o m a k e t h e c o rporate reg u lat ions.

If a community creates an ordinance banning a corporation from developing in their area, the corporation would go to the state government to create regulations for the communities.

“There is a hand behind the State, and the State is being used to put these regulatory structures in place,” said Linzey.

Corporations have constitutional rights similar to a person’s constitutional rights and this obstacle prevents communities from passing ordinances to ban corporations from moving into a community.

Linzey joked that a corporation suing a community is similar to a fridge suing its owner, that a corporation should not have the same constitutional rights as human beings because they are different.

“We forget in the United States sometimes, I think, that corporations became persons 40 years before women became persons,” said Linzey.

Bob Vincent, a former geology professor as the University, attended Linzey’s presentation and said he “came here to learn what this was about.”

Vincent said he felt environmental degradation had not been taken seriously and this is something Linzey hoped to change.

Even though the odds have not always been in his favor, Linzey said he proud CELDF exists.

“In the face of the major corporate players that we go up against, that we still exist after 15 years, 20 years … I think that’s the most important thing,” said Linzey.

Juniors Zack Denny and JD Tisdale box out a Cincinnati player during a free throw in an 83-50 loss on Wednesday.

Mens basketball records first loss of the season

By Aaron Parker Sports Editor The Bowling Green mens basketball team had its second game of the season in the Stroh center, losing to the Cincinnati Bearcats.

The game was played as part of the Bill Frack Challenge. The game was honoring Bill Frack, who gave the single largest private donation in BGSU history to the men’s basketball program.

The game was a tale of two halves, with the Falcons keeping the game close in the first and allowing the Bearcats to take the game in the second.

Cincinnati, who was a NCAA tournament team last year, outshot the Falcon’s in the first with a 44 percent field goal percentage to

Bowling Green’s 35.5 percent.

The offense that came well-balanced against New Orleans in the previous game, continued for the Falcons to start against the Bearcats.

Seven different players were on the scoreboard for the team at the end of the first, with junior guard Zack Denny leading the way with 11. Denny was the only player in double digits for the team in the first half, shooting 4-9 from the field and 3-6 from three.

“We did everything we talked about in the pregame,” said head coach Michael Huger.

“We were able to execute that in the first half.

That was the happy (coach).”

The second half was a different story.

The Falcons started the half by allowing the Bearcats to go on a 16-2 run. It didn’t get much

better; the Bearcats scored 48 total points in the half, two points less than the Bowling Green total.

“We have to get more production from our guys. Not just points, but we have to get guys to rebound and defend,” said Huger. “We played a very good first half and I was thinking we were going to come out and play a good second half and we fell apart. We tried to do too much one on one.

While the Bearcats scored almost at will in the second, the Falcons struggled and had to work for every basket.

Cincinnati protected the rim well, getting 6 second half blocks, and forced the Falcons to play an outside game.

Bowling Green got a lot of open looks behind the arc, but continued their below average long

range shooting, making two out of 13 second half attempts. The team ended 7-25 total.

Overall, the Falcons made just six second half buckets compared to the Bearcats 20. The end score was 83-50.

Despite an unbalanced loss, Huger and the team take the game as a learning experience against a quality team. Though the second half was no contest, the first half tells a different story.

“We learned that we can compete with anybody,” Denny said. “The first half showed that we can compete with whoever is on the floor against us.”

The Falcons will travel to Florida before Thanksgiving to play in the Hilton Garden Inn FGCU Classic. The first game will be against North Dakota on Saturday.

Hockey team prepares to face off against Alabama

By Zane Miller Sports Reporter The Bowling Green hockey team will face off against the Alabama Huntsville Chargers on Friday and Saturday night at home for their first two game set against the team this season.

The Falcons feel that consistency will be crucial to success, not only in this upcoming series, but in the many that follow over the course of this season.

“I think it’ll be really important,” Falcons head coach Chris Bergeron said. “What we want to do is put together two, three, four games in a row where we’re playing the way we want to play, at least more of the time. We’ve struggled with that. Our game has been up and down.”

The team believes that this home series Tech Huskies, in which the Falcons tied the could go a long way in getting the momentum series at 1-1 in the two games played on Friday necessary to make another playoff run, as they and Saturday. went 5-1-1 in their last seven “It gives us a chance to home games on their way to work on our game in praca WCHA Final Five appeartice,” Bergeron said of the ance last season. home field advantage. “We “The only way this homeget lots of practice time and stand builds momentum for kind of a normal schedule.

of their senior players to help carry the team as they continue to find their identity.

“We’re a work in progress as a group,” Bergeron said. “We’re leaning on the leadership of the seniors to lead the way every day.”

The team also respects the skill level of the Alabama Huntsville offense, despite the Falcons leading the conference in goals allowed with only 21 goals scored against the team this season.

“They’re more than just a hard-working team,” Bergeron said. “They’re a group that has added pieces and skill to their lineup over the past two years.”

The Falcons are currently standing at a 5-3-3 record in the WCHA, at sixth overall, while Alabama Huntsville is right behind in seventh at 3-4-1.

NEWS Week honoring second anniversary USG of NIOT proclaimed at city council solidifies stance on policies

NOVEMBER 19, 2015 | PAGE 12

By Holly Shively City Editor

Mayor Richard Edwards proclaimed this week as Not In Our Town Week at the Bowling Green city council meeting Monday night.

As a recognition of the second anniversary of NIOT in Bowling Green, Edwards issued a proclamation that Nov. 12 through Nov. 21 is Not In Our Town Week and is filled with several activities in the city.

Edwards said Bowling Green was named as one of five Gold Star Cities in the nation in 2014, and he accredited the accomplishment to the great work done

by NIOT representatives from both the city and the University.

“We have to keep working to make sure that we have the right kind of environment for the people coming to the community and who live here,” Edwards said.

Part of the proclamation read, “We proclaim with one voice that hate, bigotry and

bias are not welcome in our city.”

Planning Director Heather Saylor and off icia l NIOT cit y representative said the United Way w indow is decorated to celebrate NIOT and is selling NIOT T-shirts, which can also be found at the Campus Bookstore.

“It’s really exciting to get that visibility in the city,” Saylor said.

In addition to NIOT events this week, city council discussed events to celebrate the holidays.

“You’ve probably seen that the Downtown BG Elves have been hard at work decorating our downtown,” Municipal Administrator Lori Trettor said.

This Friday night will be the official tree lighting at the Wood County Public Library at 7 p.m. Saturday, at 10 a.m will be the annual holiday parade.

Another of Edwards’ proclamations included the importance of the city’s local businesses. He invited Downtown Bowling

,

Green Executive Director Barbara Ruland to explain why he would proclaim Saturday, Nov. 28, as Small Business Saturday for the fourth year.

“It’s vitally important that people support the small businesses that support their community,” Ruland said.

Ruland said statistically, for every dollar you spend at a locally-owned, independent retailer, 43 cents stays in the community. At a national chain, only 15 cents stays in the community, and when shopping online, no money stays within the community.

To promote Small Business Saturday, Bowling Green is hosting Downtown Dollars Day, where $1,000 will be given away in gift cards and certificates to locally-owned businesses. Residents who shop or eat at downtown businesses on Small Business Saturday will have the opportunity to enter and win one of the four $250 awards.

Mayor Edwards also proclaimed Tuesday, Nov. 17, as Battle of I-75 Day.

Caucus reinforces University purposed policy for a tobacco free campus

By Alyssa Alfano Copy Chief At Monday’s Undergraduate Student Government meeting, USG drafted a resolution stating the organization does not support the proposed Smoke and Tobacco Free Policy.

After hosting union tables, conducting surveys and gathering data, the members of USG wrote a resolution for the organization saying they do not support the tobacco-free policy, which would ban all tobacco products from campus grounds.

USG will vote on the resolution to confirm their official stance on Nov. 30, said USG Vice President Danielle Parker The next topic that was heavily discussed at the USG meeting was the Safe Campus Act, a bill that would prevent colleges from investigating sexual assault unless the victim also filed a police report.

“Student body presidents, student affairs professionals, and Greek life presidents, and Greek life professionals are asking for student input because many of those parties I just mentioned are opposed to this policy,” said USG President Victor Senn.

Senn said some people who oppose this act have reached out to him asking for a letter that opposes the act or to simply stand with them to say that he does not support this act.

Senn wanted to speak with USG at Monday’s meeting to see how the members felt about it.

NEWS Comedian works with University for International Education Week

By Isabella Maini Reporter International programs and partnerships at the University have been hosting international themed events all week to help unite students from all backgrounds.

The assistant director of international programs and partnerships, Andrea Voogd says that it’s important for students to be educated on a more international scale.

“Every year the Department of State and all the institutions across the United States have International Education Week and it’s about sharing culture and knowledge with both students coming into the United States but also students going out of the United States education abroad... So we highlight during this week all the inspiration and information you can get from different people from different cultures” said Voogd.

Last night, as apart of International

Education Week the University hosted Amer Zahr. Zahr is an Arab-American comedian, speaker and writer from Detroit, Michigan.

Within his comedy, he draws upon his expe-

“Comedy can be a very strong way of getting our message out or getting people to see us more as human beings.”

- Amer Zahr, Comedian riences growing up as a child of Palestinian parents, the humor in society, culture and politics. Zahr says it’s important to use comedy to highlight societal issues.

“Well, there are just so many misconceptions about Arabs and Palestinians and so

we need to use Comedy... Comedy can be a very strong way of getting our message out or getting people to see us more as human beings. That’s one of the biggest problems we have in this country is having people see as humans just like everybody else” said Zahr.

Zahr utilized his comedic approach and bonded with the audience that was filled with students from international backgrounds. Audience member, and international graduate student Nidhal Satouri said the show gave an interesting perspective for students.

“I thought the show was interesting, really funny. He was sarcastic and had a funny manner. As an Arab, it would be interesting to me to see how Arab- Americans deal with these topics in comedy... Like he explained, comedy is one of the best ways to insert a message rather than giving like a boring lecture... he can translate his message easily by making people laugh” said Satouri.

H2O Church offers Student Connections while Seeking God

A

re you looking for a church while you’re at college? Are you looking for a way to connect with hundreds of other students who are seeking God? Then H2O Church could be the place for you.

Every Sunday at 11 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. in the Union Ballroom, students of all backgrounds come together at H2O to engage in worship, scripture-based teachings, and connection with others. “Sundays are the main front door to our church,” said Pastor Rob Warren. “You can expect an atmosphere that is friendly and comfortable, teachings that are Biblical, challenging, and honest, and music that is loud, upbeat, and always about Jesus.” The church averages around 600 students at their weekly services this year and is hoping to connect with even more.

While H2O’s main gatherings occur on Sundays, the church has much more going on throughout the week including 24 different Bible study life groups you could get involved with.

“Groups are really the backbone of our church,” said Ronnie Goble, H2O staff member and former BGSU football player. He continued, “They are a

place to connect with other students and study the Bible in an interactive way. For me, this is one of the biggest places I found my faith while I have been here at college. I got answers to the questions I had about God.” Groups meet on and off campus every weekday around 7:00 p.m., and they’re open to all students.

H2O has many other ways to get involved, in addition to Sundays and Groups. There are opportunities to join teams that serve with the music, video, hospitality, H2O kids program, and more. “Freshman year I came to H2O to see what it was all about. Then, after getting involved with a group and serving on Sundays, I found a family,” said Tessa Mitan, a student leader in the church. “H2O has a ton of opportunities to offer and there is a place for everyone.”

If you want to find out more about H2O, stop by one of their many events this week or check out their website at www.h2ochurch. com. Many students have found this church to be a great place to not only meet other students but to find and experience their relationship with God.
