Pride said Wiser’s move was lateral — he was neither moved up in rank nor down. When reached at his office, Wiser declined comment on this story. Pride said that moves within departments, such as Wiser’s, are common throughout the university. He said while the switch in Wiser’s position may have seemed sudden to Greeks, the transition had been taking place for weeks. “It was a quick change for some of the students,” Pride said. “They were on spring break and hadn’t heard anything about it before.” For a short period of time, other personnel within Student Activities have been reassigned to assist with Greek Affairs, Pride said. Kenneth Johnson, assistant director of
RECRUITS CONTINUED FROM SPORTS
The Lady Toppers finished the season 1216, and it was their first losing year since the 1981-1982 season. But once the Sun Belt tournament started, Fothergill said she also saw a team that knew how to respond under pressure and win when it needed to. WKU didn’t win more than two games in a row during the regular season but won three games in three days to advance to the finals of the conference tournament, narrowly losing to Arkansas-Little Rock. “It’s encouraging," Fothergill said. “Now going into it, I know they’re going to want to win. They played hard because they knew it was crunch time. " Stevens High School (Texas) product
MATCH

Bowling Green sophomore Poorvie Patel found out during spring break that she was a match for a 41-year-old man. Next week, Patel will have four tubes of blood drawn to test for infections and diseases. If the results turn out well, Patel said she will start taking a shot that makes her body produce more stem cells, which she will give to the patient after a transfusion. In November, Patel was one of 430 people who got their cheeks swabbed at Alex’s second bone marrow drive. The swab is used to see if certain

Student Activities, will be assisting the Interfraternity Council, and Kristen Smith and Aubrey Holt, both graduate assistants, will be assisting Panhellenic sororities. Stacey Forsythe, Kappa Delta sorority’s Chapter Advisory Board Chair, said these interim positions were created in order to finalize other matters before recruitment in the fall. While it may seem that three people are doing the same job that one person did previously, she said that’s not the case. “Right now they’re splitting the responsibilities until they find someone to hire,” Forsythe said. She said a new sorority, Delta Zeta, will be added next year, and new Rush rules will be in place for sorority recruitment, which will entail a lot of work over the summer. Nicholasville junior Tyler Goble said his experiences with Wiser have always been positive. Goble, Delta Tau Delta fraternity
president, said Wiser was always very accessible and would make time to speak with Greeks about anything. “He was available after hours if you really needed something,” Goble said. Goble said Wiser was also a heavy proponent in promoting Greek unity. This year, the historically black fraternities and sororities, part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, will compete in Greek Week for the first time at WKU. “That’s something that from my understanding isn’t done on any other campuses,” Goble said. Wiser had many achievements while serving as head of Greek Affairs, Goble said. Goble said his implementing a dry Rush week was the most substantial. “He worked really hard to completely move away from the typical fraternity image,” Goble said. “And he took a lot of heat for it, but I think that was a great thing that he did.”
Alexis Govan said that same winning mentality is what has her excited for next season. “I like to win and hate to lose,” she said. “Losing isn’t an option in my mind. So seeing how they finished — it really motivated me to get in there and work even harder so I can be ready to help them next year.” Liberty Christian High School (Texas) recruit Summer Fife admitted it was hard to watch her future team struggle to a losing record. So when WKU made its postseason run, Fife said she was elated. “I never doubted them, but it was kind of discouraging,” she said. “But next year is a whole different year. It’s new players, and everyone will get better over time. I’m not worrying at all.” Fife will bring her own winning ways to the team. Her high school team won the Texas Private and Parochial school state championship earlier this month. Fife’s 19 points in
the championship game earned her a spot on the all-tournament team. She said she sees the same capability in the other three recruits — Govan, Fothergill, and Franklin-Simpson High School’s Chastity Gooch. “I have really high expectations,” Fife said. “I really think the freshmen that are coming in are going to be really good. And I know the juniors that are going to be seniors are really good, so I don’t have any doubts on how well we’ll do.” Govan said she plans to pick up right where the Lady Toppers left off last season but will take it a step further. “All of the incoming freshmen have a background of winning,” she said. “In my mind, we can take the Sun Belt with what we have and what’s coming in. We can get to the NCAA tournament and make a dent in there.”
components of a potential donor’s DNA will be compatible with someone who needs a transplant, Alex said. Patel said she never thought she would be a match for someone. “Those chances are like one in a million,” she said. “I was just speechless.” Alex is glad that Patel, who is Indian, was a match for someone, especially since there is a strong need for minority donors. For example, only 7 percent of the registry is African-American, Alex said. Patel said the registry only disclosed the gender and age of her match, but she has been thinking about what his life is like. “This person could be anywhere in the world,” she said. “He has to have a wife and kids. I thought if this was my dad, I would
want someone to help him.” The registry doesn’t allow donors to meet patients until a year after they donate, Patel said. However, within the year, they will update her three times about his progress. “Just because you give them the marrow doesn’t mean they live,” she said. Patel has done research about how the procedure will affect her body. She said she will get flu-like symptoms while she is taking the shots to help her produce stem cells. “I’m getting sick for like a week,” she said. “But that person could be sick for their whole life.” For now, Patel is just waiting to donate to her patient. “The faster I get this done, the faster I can

get it to him,” she said. Sam Kimura still hasn’t found a donor, but she underwent immunosuppressive therapy, which is a process of weakening the immune system and then building it back up with medicine, according to the National Bone Marrow Registry’s website. It’s possible that patients will have to repeat therapy long-term, which is why the bone marrow transplant is ideal. Sam said she is back to normal, but she would like to find a match in case something happens. Now that she’s gotten her strength back, she has returned to finish her senior year at Ballard High School in Louisville, and she’s excited about attending WKU next fall with her sister.

Jones said WKU will activate cooling in buildings as it is requested by building coordinators. He said dorms have a higher priority for air conditioning than academic buildings because students live in them. Brian Kuster, director of Housing and Residence Life, said the cooling process in the dorms depends on the specific building. Bates-Runner, McLean, Southwest, Northeast, Zacharias and Meredith halls have air conditioning year-round, Kuster said. In those dorms, residents can adjust the temperature in their individual rooms. The remaining dorms are connected to the central heat plant. Kuster said students occasionally come to HRL complaining about the heat, but once they are told how the system works, they understand. Jones said in the email that this year, thermostats in all campus buildings will be set to maintain a temperature of 74-76 degrees. Scott Lasley, an associate professor of political science, said it always gets warm in the buildings around this time of the year, before the university has begun air conditioning. “The last couple days have been particularly warm,” he said. Lasley said he thought the lack of air conditioning in Grise Hall, where he primarily teaches, affects the students more than it affects him. “I think the heat makes it more difficult for students to concentrate,” he said. “When you’re uncomfortable, it’s just another distraction.”
