Residents now know that a CVS Pharmacy will be constructed at the corner of East Wooster and South Prospect Streets, but the fate of the corner across the street from it still rests with the future votes of city council members. While city council unanimously approved the construction of a CVS. The council still needs to vote on the construction of a complex at the corner of East Wooster and North Prospect Streets. The complex, which would house businesses on its bottom f loor and efficiency apartments on its second floor, will likely be voted on at city council’s Feb. 4 meeting. Despite the continued delay, city council also approved a B-5 rezoning ordinance Tuesday, something that would facilitate the construction of the complex if it is approved at the council’s next meeting. “This was a big hurdle tonight and took quite a while, but I think all of us grew through the process of it,” said Mayor Richard Edwards. The process Edwards is alluding to is one of multiple hearings, meetings and rezoning proposals that started back in October 2011. Proposed in previous meetings, the B-3 zoning at the site would have allowed for a complex to be built that would only prohibit ground f loor apartments while the B-5 zoning ordinance will allow for a complex to be built that would also allow for apartments on the second floor but would also prevent the
Some students could be barking up the wrong tree when it comes to pet owning off campus and the expenses. Being a pet owner is a big responsibility that can potentially burn a hole in a student’s pocket if gone about the wrong way. To start, a student must find a place to live that accepts animals. Laurie Laurain, the rental manager for Newlove Rentals in Bowling Green, said they allow cats in most of their apartment and house rentals, but don’t allow dogs in apartments. The cost is a $300 non-refundable fee per pet. The fee is specific to cats and dogs only and Newlove doesn’t require a fee for fish, rats, hamsters or small animals kept in cages. “The fee is just for having the pet,” Laurain said. “Anything that is in a cage doesn’t require a fee,” Laurain said.

University students filled the Lenhart Grand Ballroom of the Student Union Tuesday for BGSU’s annual “Get Involved Fair.” The fair, organized by the Office of Campus Activities, “allows organizations to gather in one place to show students what they have to offer”, said Pedro Portillo, administrative graduate assistant for campus activities. The “Get Involved Fair” has hosted each spring as a counterpart to fall semester’s “Campus Fest” for more than a decade. More than 100 organizations participated and about 500 interested students came. During the fair, organizations set up information booths and handed out free materials such as candy and t-shirts in hopes of catching the eyes of passing students, Portillo said. The Get Involved Fair is beneficial not only to students, but

to the soliciting organizations as well. “Students come to the event to find organizations to join, but at the same time, organizations come to recruit new members.” said sophomore Tanner Zizelman, who came to join a fraternity. Audra Facinilli, president of the Herpetology Club, said her club generated a lot of student interest. Facinilli said during the fair almost all of the groups informational fliers had been passed out. “We weren’t able to organize a booth for Campus Fest, so this is really our first big exposure,” Facinilli said. Last year’s assessment of the fair by the Office of Campus Activities concluded that 77 percent of students were more inclined to get involved on campus as a direct result of the event.

Cookie stores split customers Despite the possibility of new competition in town, The Cookie Jar is still busy filling cookie orders. Insomnia Cook ies, which has locations across the country, opened in Bowling Green last fall. The businesses both serve hot cookies and deliver in town and both have been doing well. “Insomnia Cook ies is very happy with the Bowling Green/BGSU store’s performance,” said Renee Sarnecky, Insomnia Cookies marketing manager in an email. “Over the last few months, we have seen the in-store traffic and delivery business grow dramatically.” Maureen Lanigan, coowner of The Cookie Jar, said that business has picked up for her store as well. “There is always going to be competition when
we both deliver hot cookies,” Lanigan said. “I think the competition has been great for us.” Lanigan believes the extra publicity for both businesses has helped her store gain more business. “We have been very busy this year,” Lanigan said. “I think [Insomnia Cookies] got people talking about cookies again.” The Cookie Jar has even extended its hours to include Tuesdays, however, Lanigan said the extension has nothing to do with the opening of Insomnia Cookies. “A lot of people stay in and want cookies on Tuesday nights,” Lanigan said. “We have been having people ask on Facebook and Twitter, so we decided to open on Tuesdays.” Both businesses offer a wide variety of cookies for customers to choose from.

University not among screening institutions Office of Admissions does not base acceptance on applicants’ Facebook profiles
By Amber Petkosek Reporter
Some students don’t consider t he consequences of posting pictures on Facebook. An article from usatoday.com reports Kaplan Test Prep recently conducted a survey of 359 colleges and found that 24 percent of admissions officials acknowledged the use of Facebook to screen applicants. This number is up six percent from the previous year. Prospective students for the University do not need to worry about being screened while applying. The University uses Facebook and ot her social media, but not for screening applica nts, said Gary Swegan, assistant vice-president and
director of admissions. “We use it for recruiting, but not for screening,” Swegan said. “We will not be [screening]. I can assure that.” Screening over 18,000 applicants would be impossible for t he Universit y, but some Universities may be screening its applicants to get a closer look at students, he said. “They want to see what everyone is about,” Swegan said. “People are willing to put everything out there.” Screening applicants for a college can be justified as long as they do it for everyone, he said. “Colleges and universities may also screen applications because of the amount they receive,” Swegan said.
“The ones screening are probably the highly selective colleges; 40,000 to 50,000 applications for 1,000 available spots. That is my suspicion,” he said. Since the University of Toledo is an open-enrollment university, they do not screen applicants, said Tobin Klinger, associate vice president of communications at UT. “The schools that are doing that are going for a more in-depth screening process,” Klinger said. Fre sh ma n Me ga n Henisse said she thinks colleges and universities screen applicants to make them aware of themselves. “It scares people when applying to schools,” Henisse said. “They watch what they put

[online].” Some students feel t hat a screen i ng Facebook s is not a n invasion of privacy. Senior Lauren Veith sa id businesses use Facebook in order to network and that many colleges and universities do the same. The University warns its students about posting on social networks. “We caution students to be aware of what is out there,” Swegan said. “Look yourself up on Google to see what shows up.” Swegan said students should be conscious of what they post at all times. “Regardless of whether admissions [screen applicants], employers will,” he said.

Students who attended the fair agreed with the results. Freshma n Sha r i Saunders said even though she is a member of a couple organizations, she was thinking about joining more because of the fair. What she admires about the fair is that it is setup in a way that allows students
to “talk to people who are already in the organization and see what it’s like.” The ultimate goal of the event is to get students involved with their school community and to explore their options outside of the classroom. Portillo reminds students to go to events like the Get Involved Fair and Campus Fest to “see if there’s something out there for you.”

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “Baking.”
DANNI XI Sophomore, Telecommunications
Music helps mood, provides support PHILLIP MARTIN COLUMNIST
Several of us listen to music to help us cope with the world around us. Many listen to a favorite song to calm down. Many like a particular artist because we can relate to them. Then, some genres of music captivate us. Acoustic Alchemy has been a major influence on my life. A.A. is an English ensemble of one nylon string and one steel guitar with supporting instruments. Nick Webb and Greg Carmichael founded A.A. in 1981 and produced Red Dust and Spanish Lace as their first major album in 1987. A.A.’s music has remained mostly instrumental and has crossed over into smooth jazz, new age and adult contemporary. A.A.’s tunes have helped me relax when I’ve felt upset or bored. Honestly, I think A.A. is perfect study music. My fondness for Acoustic Alchemy began with a visit to a Barnes & Noble in Easton Towne Center near Columbus when I was about 10 years old. I was at a music listening station in the smooth jazz section when I discovered A.A.’s The Beautiful Game (Higher Octive, 2000) album. “Angel Of The South,” the album’s first track, is also the first one my ears ever listened to. The track will always remain a favorite of mine for its pre-Columbian American mood and use of various supporting instruments. I remember how the sounds of the tune flooded my headphones so sharply that day. I gave my dad my set of headphones. He was so impressed with the album he decided to buy it. That day I felt like my dad appreciated my listening ears. The Beautiful Game remains my personal favorite album. A lot of A.A.’s early songs have a Latin influence like “Angel Of The South”. Check out “Lazeez” (Against The Grain, 1994), “Fire Of The Heart” (Back On The Case, 1991), and “Cadeques” (Positive Thinking, 1998). Another reason I appreciate A.A. is because some of their tunes seem so beautifully pleasing. “Caravan of Dreams” (Reference Point, 1990) and “Ballad For Kay” (Natural

Elements, 1988) remind me of someone telling a lullaby. “Passionelle” (Positive Thinking) makes me imagine watching a sunrise to a beautiful spring day. “Positive Thinking”, from the same album, reminds me of sitting in an empty park on a summer day and meditating about life. “Hearts In Chains” makes me think about someone’s heartbreak story. This song appears on Blue Chip (1989), but I prefer the Arcanum (1996) version because the London Metropolitan Orchestra played alongside A.A. live. “El Camino del Corazon”, from Radio Contact (2003), is such a good name for this tune in my eyes. Translated in english as “The Path of the Heart”, it sounds like someone’s story of determination to get what their heart desires. “Silent Partner” (Against the Grain) sounds like a song about two lovers to me. Appearing on the same album, I also enjoy “Lady Lynda” and “Papillon” because they sound just like smooth jazz. Then, again, I like almost every song on that album. The album New Edge also has a lot of beautifully-made tunes I like, such as “Arc En Ciel” and “Santa Café.” “London Skyline” is a personal favorite of mine from that album. I also enjoy A.A. songs from after the turn of the millennium. Co-founder Webb died of cancer around 1998. Consequently, Miles Gilderdale replaced Webb. After Gilderdale’s arrival, A.A. began experimenting with their music, using more contemporary/pop-sounding elements. This change began with The Beautiful Game and Aart (2001) albums. I feel you definitely can hear these more modern day elements of jazz in A.A.’s American/English (2005) and This Way (2007) albums. Finally, there is A.A.’s Roseland, their latest album from 2011. “World Stage” is my favorite song from it. Laugh as you may. Some may simply call A.A. elevator music, for I know their music in general is not very popular. However, I feel if you give them a chance, you may come enjoy their music on long car rides as I do.

Fetishes, kinks often misconstrued Gary Zimmerman Columnist
Though images of ball gags and bondage immediately come to mind (much like the kinky interlude in Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction), the concept behind the definition of fetish has been avidly misconstrued by the general public’s ignorance or adamant charge to remain incurious. Trekking down an inquisitive avenue, commonly viewed as human sexuality’s darker alleyway, I found out and assure I’m not alone here, I had inadvertently meshed many separate ideas within the realm of sexuality into a darkly lit, glob-like, stereotype of massive proportions. First and foremost was a trip to the psychology department, where the didactic minds of graduate students flourish with sensual energy. Two graduate students here greeted me with open arms and better yet, vivacious, open minds. One of them remarked on our misinterpretation of what a fetish is, “I think that lack of knowledge causes people to associate S&M with this ... kinky, chains,
DANAE KING, CAMPUS EDITOR ALEX ALUSHEFF, CITY EDITOR TYLER BUCHANAN, IN-FOCUS EDITOR ERIN COX, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR KENDRA CLARK, WEB EDITOR MATTHEW THACKER, FORUM EDITOR ETHAN EASTERWOOD, SPORTS EDITOR ABBY WELSH, PULSE EDITOR BRI HALLER, COPY CHIEF CHRISTINE KOHLER, DESIGN EDITOR MOLLY MCFADDIN, PHOTO EDITOR
chips, dips and whips.” Fetish, translated as ‘an object with the powers of magic’ according to The Kinsey Institute New Report On Sex, is actually a moniker that defines items absolutely necessary in order for the user to get there. Falling under the super-category Paraphilia (latin roots para - “outside the usual” and philia - “love”), fetish paraphilia is considered a subcategory within a sexual umbrella that deviates from what one graduate student would describe as the statistical norm. This paraphilia focuses more on an object of lust or what the Kinsey Institute pens as a “token”. For instance, one of my interviewees discussed how something as simple as shoes can be a sexual token that an individual compulsively reaches for, if their sexuality embraces fetish paraphilia. This item would then be necessary to use during sex with a partner and/or during masturbation. Fetish paraphilia is relatively rare, considering that all paraphilias are inherently uncommon, but not unheard of.
Common tokens posited by the Kinsey Institute that act as lusty luxuries among heterosexual men include but are not limited to, “women’s panties, bras, and stockings and other garments ...”, as well as certain parts of the female body “or more often, pictures of these objects or body parts”. Fetishes are not limited to just an item either, “taboo smells or body excretions (such as soiled undergarments, feces, or urine as in coprophilia or urophilia”) may also stimulate someone beyond belief. Considering that sexuality is entirely subjective and spans a wide range of interests, this should not come as a surprise. Remember, paraphilias require a necessity of a certain item or behavior in order for an individual to be sexually satisfied; “necessity” of course being the key word. What has happened, unfortunately, in our sexually repressive American civilization is a blurring of the lines, so to speak. Paraphilias have unfortunately been lumped together and what repression has done is left us dumbfounded and confused, lumping the
term fetish with the definition of the sadomasochistic urge known as predatory paraphilia. “When feeling ‘lust’ can be indulged in only when sex or an object is stolen or taken by force.” Let’s not blur the lines any longer, it ruins the way in which we communicate within one another and makes us look sexually illiterate. Further information can be found in the library here on campus, by the way, if you have sexual urges or questions that seem confusing, but are too embarrassed to ask. The University also offers a human sexuality course with very talented behavioral, neural and social psychologists who can help you understand these feelings, sometimes even on a oneon-one basis. Furthermore, there is also the option of the free counseling sessions right outside of campus if you’re having confusion of any nature and this is causing stress within you or between you and your partner.

The B-5 zoning will also prohibit the complex from containing gas stations, car sales and service centers, tattoo parlors and bars and taverns, according to the ordinances. East side residents have spoken out, asking the city to slow its movement on the complex’s rezoning proposal so that concerns of residents could be considered. A lthough the vote

on the construction of the complex is still two weeks away, residents like Neocles Leontis were happy to see everything starting to come together at Tuesday’s meeting. “I’d like to thank everybody on the council and the planning commission for all their hard work on this,” Leontis said during Tuesday’s meeting. “This is really much improved over what we first had.” One of the council
members Leontis specifically thanked during the meeting was Daniel Gordon, who represents some of the area that could be affected by the complex’s construction. “We’ve come up with a new zoning category tonight that will better protect our citizens in cases like this,” Gordon said. “This is definitely a win for the citizens.” As for the council’s next meeting concerning the complex, Gordon hopes it will be similar to Tuesday night’s meeting. “I’m glad that this meeting was civil,” he said. “Hopefully the next one will be too.”

INTERVIEW OBSERVATION & ASK THE RECRUITERS:
Some rental offices are more lenient about having pets kept in cages while other places have a list of accepted pets. Copper Beech employee Blake O’Neil said select units of t he complex accept animals in the apartment if the past residents had pets. “We keep select units as pet friendly,” O’Neil said. The fee for Copper Beech residents with animals is a non-refundable $300 fee as well as $25 per month. The complex also allows fish and hamsters, but does not allow some breeds of dogs they have labeled as “aggressive breeds” such as Pitbull, Rottweiler, German Sheppard and Chow. Copper Beech also has a list of more exotic animals that could scare residents or cause problems if let loose that aren’t allowed either. “No snakes, reptiles or spiders,” O’Neil said. Another pocket emptier to take into account for potential pet owners are various medical needs. West Ridge Animal Hospital employee Janet Duty said owning a pet is a luxury for college students because of the costs. Those looking for a pet must remember to get the proper vaccinations and procedures done so the pet is healthy and doesn’t contract common diseases such as Distemper, Parvo, Kennel Cough and Coronavirus. “Rabies [shot] is a must for cats and dogs,” Duty said. “You want all these pets to be protected against these things.” Jade McCray is a cat owner as well as a Petco employee and said food can become expensive depending on how big a dog is. McCray said she pays around $33 for a 10 lb. bag of cat food that

lasts her around three months. “Natural food is around $50 for a 40 lb. bag for dogs,” McCray said. “Forty pounds of dog food will last a month, if that, depending on how big the dog is.” Treats for cats and dogs can cost anywhere from .99 cents to $20 and should be given every day to puppies for training. McCray said toys are also a need for animals, especially puppies. Toys for dogs cost around $8.99 while only $4.99 for cats. As for smaller animals, the start-up cost for hamsters or fish can run upwards to about $100. Petco sells a lot of fish to college students, especially beta and goldfish, McCray said. Her advice to those who want a pet is to do the research before going shopping. “People don’t realize how much work it is,” she said. Sophomore Shelby Mertz said she had to be ready to pay around $1,000 when one of her cats got sick and had to get teeth pulled. She pays around $40 to $50 a month and a couple hours a day playing with her dog and two cats. Matt Joeseph, a junior, also said it can be expensive having a pet but it can be worth it too. “Living off campus with pets, unless you already have an animal that you love and care for, you’re better off without one,” Joeseph said. Despite the expenses, time and management needed to have a pet, there are other options available for a few extra bucks. Poco’s Playhouse is a dog day care and boarding facility that provides customer’s with reasonable prices and a familiar staff of qualified employees. Alexa Acosta, a former student of the University and Poco’s employee, said the facility has different
Jade McCray | Petco Employee play rooms as well as a big space outside for the dogs to play in including swimming pools and slides. For those who bring in their dog for a half day, which is four hours, the cost is $10 and $20 for a full day or up to eight hours. The facility also has hourly rates and package deals. “We keep them very entertained,” Acosta said. “Unless you have a very hyper breed, four hours will knock your dog out.” Acosta added t he employees also help with basic training at the day care such as voice recognition and are willing to help customers outside the playhouse. Boarding also includes day care where the dogs are let out a minimum of three times per day and two 20 minute play sessions with the staff. “Their rooms are heated and air-conditioned in the summer — they have windows, there’s beds and blankets galore,” Acosta said. “They live better than we do.” For more information on Poco’s Playhouse visit pocosplayhouse.com.

strohdown Falcons return to Stroh Center to take on Golden Flashes By Alex Krempasky Assistant Sports Editor
JORDAN
CRAWFORD Women’s basketball team tries for three straight wins Thursday Falcons to host Miami in MAC-East Showdown, team prepares for divison leader Akron
The BG men’s basketball team has a shot to redeem itself Wednesday as it hosts Mid-American Conference East Division rival Kent State. The Falcons have lost their past two games by three points at Miami and Buffalo. The Kent State Golden Flashes are the Falcons’ next opponent and will be visiting the Stroh Center Wednesday. Kent State, which has a record of 11-7 (2-2), has had its ups and downs this season. The team started the season off with an overtime win against Drexel, who was predicted to be a bracket buster in the 2012 NCAA tournament. However, they dropped two of the next three games with a loss against Temple and an 88-83 overtime loss against Valparaiso. The Flashes won their next three games against Bethune-Cookman, Nebraska and an overtime win at Youngstown State. Kent dropped its next three games against Princeton, at Bucknell and Xavier. After finals week, the Flashes won four straight games against Saint Francis (PA), Arkansas State, Fairmont State (WV) and Cleveland State. Kent is 2-2 in MAC play with their wins coming at Ball State and Buffalo and losses from Akron and Toledo at home. The Golden Flashes are ranked No. 114 in points per game and No. 178 in rebounds per game nationally — they average 70.3 points per game and 35.1 rebounds per game. BG is ranked No. 298 with an average of 61.5 points per game and No. 229 with an average of 33.9 rebounds per game,

The BG women’s basketball team returns home Wednesday night as it looks to make an impression on its home fans. Before playing at Ohio on Sunday, the Falcons played the previous three games at the Stroh Center. BG was 2-1 in that stretch, but dropped its second game to arch-rival Toledo. The loss should not be an alarming one for Falcon fans as the team has since rebounded. BG has won its past two games by a margin of 28.5 points per game. The team has done so by holding its opponents to a 27.7 field goal percentage. Despite the success, it is not a foregone conclusion that the team will be in the running for a Mid-American Conference title when it is all said and done. Some may point to the fact that, while BG is 3-1 in conference play, the team’s only wins have come against teams with a below .500 record. The team’s latest opponent, Ohio, had yet to win a conference game while in the game before it took on a Ball State team that was 5-10 on the year. At the peak of these criticisms is the notion that the toughest battles have yet to be fought, said Head Coach Jennifer Roos. If the Falcons win those two games, they will be first in the MAC East. Each game will help prepare the team for the next game. The next game the Falcons play will be against Central Michigan on Feb. 3. The Central Michigan Chippewas are currently the only undefeated team in conference play. The Falcons tip-off against the Miami Redhawks at the Stroh Center Thursday at 7 p.m.

Gymnastics looks forward after loss By Noah Jones Reporter
The Falcons dominated the first two rotations of the Mid-American Conference opener against Northern Illinois, but several mistakes on the balance beam led to a comeback win for the Huskies, 192.525 to 192.775. Vault was a real highlight, head coach Kerrie Beach
said. The Falcons produced a season high score of 48.975. Megan Harrington upgraded her routine on vault by adding a twist, allowing her score to be based out of 10.0. This allowed the falcons to have a full rotation for the first time all season. Sophomore Amanda Lievendag’s high scores in
vault (9.85) and in bar (9.75) stood out to Beach, who also said freshman Caroline Ellingboe made great strides. Ellingboe performed in three out of four rotations and scored a total of 28.675. This MAC battle was a sign of good things to come, Beach The team made i mprovements from their last meet with

according to espn.com. The key to stopping Kent State on Wednesday will be stopping senior forward Chris Evans, averages 17.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals in each game. The Falcons have not been able finish their past two games, in which they only lost by three points in each. They were able to beat Eastern Michigan on a three-point basket by senior Jordan Crawford, but Crawford came up short on shots against Miami and Buffalo. “You want to be able to get
a shot,” head coach Louis Orr said. “For the most part, we’ve done that ... Some [of the shots] have been ‘Plan A,’ some have been ‘Plan B,’ but most of the time its ended up in Jordan’s hands ... That’s been pretty much how we’ve had things go.” Sophomore transfer Richaun Holmes will look to continue his blocking campaign against the Flashes after his season count has let up the past three games. Holmes only blocked three shots against Miami and Buffalo combined, but in the first two MAC games against Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan, he totaled eight blocks. Holmes is projected to
finish the season with 84 blocked shots, which will amount to 25 more than the current 39-year-old singleseason school record held by Cornelius Cash, who blocked 59 shots during the 1973-74 season. BG’s game against Kent will be a strong test before their clash at Toledo on Saturday. Though Toledo is 6-9 (2-2), the Flashes will prepare BG to play well against the Rockets because they beat Kent 70-58 earlier this month. Tip-off against the Golden Flashes of Kent State will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday and the Falcons’ upcoming game at Toledo will start at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
