one new [urgent] message Student government to vote on Alert BG proposal at next meeting By Eric Lagatta Assistant Campus Editor
BY THE NUMBERS
If there is an emergency on campus, it is natural to assume students would want to know, but most students aren’t even signed up for the text message system that would alert them. This is exactly what members of Undergraduate Student Government and Information Technology Services are looking to remedy through reforms to Alert BG. Alert BG is a text message and email alert system in which University Police send messages to warn the campus community of emergencies. The system emails all University account holders in the event of an emergency, said Matt Haschak, director of IT security and networking in the Department of Information Technology. The University homepage, Facebook page and Twitter account also change and 125 digital screens throughout campus also display the message. Students can also opt into a two-year subscription to receive Alert BG texts. Of a campus of more than 20,000, there are only 5,779 subscribers, which includes 1,000 faculty and staff, Haschak said. This is roughly one in four people. ITS is working with USG to find a way to make the text message program opt-out, meaning students would automatically be registered for Alert BG texts to their phone as early as fall semester. The plan would also allow for faculty and even students’ parents to sign up. “One of the things we’ve been seeing in general at the

FAFSA deadline approaching Applications are due by Feb. 15 By Erin Cox Social Media Editor
University students must file their Federal Application for Financial Student Aid by Feb. 15 to receive the maximum amount of federal financial aid possible. The limited funding for the Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work Study and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant means not all students with the need will receive the funds from these three programs. Eric Bucks, associate director of Financial Aid, said Uncle Sam does not give the University enough funds to help all students who meet the need requirement. The Feb. 15 deadline prioritizes the FAFSA records received by the Student Financial Aid Office for those seeking funds from one of the three programs because of the extremely limited funds, Bucks said. Students not seeking aid from the Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work Study or FSEOG can file the FAFSA at any time throughout the school year, but it is not required. Senior Allyson Wert said she has filed the FAFSA every year of her college career. “My family doesn’t get much, but we do it to try to get more money from grants and loans and I think one of my scholarships required it,” Wert said. Freshman Margaret Selzer said since her dad works at the University, she does not receive federal aid, but does fill out the FAFSA because she was told she still needed to. Bucks said more than half of University students file the FAFSA. “It’s not required that students do it, but for a lot, it’s a necessity,” Bucks said. Wert said she knows the FAFSA helps determine how much money each family gets and it is helpful for those who need financial aid in paying for school. “I think that since my brother was college age last year, we received more aid,” Wert said. All federal loans, federal Pell Grants and some scholarships require students to file the FAFSA in order to demonstrate need, Bucks said. Regardless of when students file the FAFSA, students are still eligible for the federal loans and Pell Grants, Bucks said. Both Selzer and Wert said they try to fill out the FAFSA by the priority deadline of Feb. 15. “It’s usually last minute, but we usually make the deadline,” Wert said. The 2011-2012 school year brought in 46,713 FAFSA records for the University. Bucks said this includes all potential students, which causes the total number to be more than the number of students enrolled in the University.

Ohio universities still adjusting after ZIGGABYTE REOPENS switching from quarters to semesters Transition was required to be finalized in fall 2012 By Geoff Burns Reporter
The state of Ohio required all of its colleges and universities on a quarter system to switch to semesters by the fall of 2012. The change was made in order for graduation rates to increase within the state and to help raise the percentage of adult Ohioans with a bachelor’s degree higher than the current 26 percent, which is 5 percentage points less than the national average, said Jeff Robinson, acting director for communications at the Ohio Board of Regents, by email. “Time and money are the enemies when it comes to students in school,” Robinson said. “When a student runs out of one or the other, he or she is less

likely to finish school.” Dave Kielmeyer, senior director of communications, said the University has been on a semester system since the early 1980’s and knew it was the right way academically to begin with. “A semester system clearly has benefits and the University recognized it quite sometime ago,” Kielmeyer said. “The positives of a semester versus a quarter system still hold true today and the state of Ohio seems to agree.” More than 15 schools have made the transition, such as Wright State University, Ohio State University, Ohio University and the University of Cincinnati.

ALERT From Page 1 University is students don’t check their email as regularly,” Haschak said. Students are more likely to check their phones after a tone or vibration alerts them, he said. John Ellinger, chief information officer for ITS, had the idea to switch Alert BG to opt-out. “I just felt that we weren’t getting enough individuals by the opt-in into the system so we weren’t covering as much as we can across the campus,” Ellinger said. Ellinger spoke with USG President Alex Solis and Graduate Student Senate President David Sleasman in October for their organizations’ feedback. “I absolutely, 100 percent fully support it,” Solis said. “It’s kind of almost a no-brainer.”
Complainant reported that while looking at an adult website, a window popped up on his computer stating that he was looking at child pornography and that he would have to pay $300 for the window to disappear. The complainant wanted a police report stating that he was not looking at child pornography.
USG could vote to endorse the opt-out system as early as Monday. Senator Eric Juzkiw is working on legislation that will be brought to the senate floor for discussion. “I’m definitely very hopeful that this gets the endorsement,” Solis said. “I would love to be signing this into effect in the near future.” The current Alert BG system has been in place since 2007, in response to the Virginia Tech shooting. Other colleges already have an opt-out program, such as Arizona State University, Florida University and The Ohio State University. The state of Texas even has a law requiring all universities to have an opt-out system. Haschak is working on how the University would implement the new system. Students will be able to access their Alert BG account on MyBGSU. There, they

would be able to opt out or add alternate emails or phone numbers to alert, he said. The University must still get the cell phone numbers of students, of whom the University has 80 percent, Haschak said. “Fortunately, we have not had a major incident that heightens everyone’s awareness of needing [an opt-out system],” Haschak said. The system is commonly used to alert the campus of snow delays, school closings, tornado warnings and gas leaks, he said. “We’ve got natural emergencies that you certainly want to know about and we’ve got man-made emergencies that you want to know about,” Ellinger said. “We want information for our students to be convenient and to be responsive at the time that we have information to share, particularly in an emergency.”

Students share experiences of online dating By Abby Welsh Pulse Editor

hile some college students see their boyfriend or girlfriend everyday, senior Sarah Eastman relied on her imagination to fill in the blanks from day to day. Eastman was a sophomore in high school when she met a tall, dark and handsome football player online. Turns out, she got “catfished.” “I met him on Myspace and we talked on there and over the phone for about two months,” Eastman said. “He went to a different school, so we never saw each other.” Eventually, the two thought it was finally time to meet. “He worked at Cedar Point, which wasn’t too far from me, and he asked if I would come meet him,” Eastman said. But when she arrived at the amusement park, she found herself confused at what she saw. “I know I’m not a perfect 10, but I have my standards set pretty high,” Eastman said. For freshman Nathan Walker, face-to-face communication is the only way he will meet someone he doesn’t know. The word “catfish,” popularized by the related documentary and MTV show and the recent story of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o, refers to using a false identity to lure someone into an online relationship.

YouTube offers students chances Brothers showcase talents through online channel By Danae King Campus Editor
There have always been students who want to be artists or young entertainers, but these days a garage band or a home movie isn’t necessarily the outlet used to get to the top. Today, sites like YouTube are a popular way to get noticed and express creativity. “[YouTube] is an outlet that didn’t exist a few years ago,” said Charles Coletta, instructor in the popular culture department. “I think some people might use it as a means to sort of break into the entertainment industry.” Students Christopher and Kevin Cedar want to do just that. The two have been making videos and short films together since they were little kids, and recently, they began a YouTube channel together. The channel, called The Cedar Stars, consists of short films and comedic sketches. “We’re just trying to spread our comedy, just to get big,” Christopher said. The two enjoy making the films as a hobby, Kevin said. They aren’t making the videos for the potential money, instead, they just want to create a name for themselves and get some exposure, Christopher said. “We like offending people, we like surprising people with our videos,” Kevin said. The amount of people, like Christopher and Kevin, uploading to sites like YouTube shows that people are creative, Coletta said. “They’ve always been expressing themselves, but now you can get it out there,” he said. There are many ways to get
self-expression and personal productions out there, Coletta said. “The average person has more ways now to make media than ever before,” Coletta said. In the past five years, the media landscape has changed, and it’s only going to change more, he said. Sketches and short films aren’t the only type of videos students are creating and uploading. Senior Nate Gotro makes videos about video games with a few of his friends. Gotro makes the videos mostly for fun, he said. “If we’re going to be playing video games, we might as well get some money for it,” he said. “It showcases what we do.” The channel Gotro and his friends make is backed by YouTube and affiliated with another channel, he said. The channel, called 11 Bravo Gaming, has about 700 subscribers, Gotro said. The videos feature Gotro and his friends playing video games like Call of Duty and Battlefield 3, Gotro said. “It just adds an all new level of interaction,” Gotro said. “You’re playing for a wider audience, so you have to act better and play better.” Not only does YouTube offer a w ider audience, but it is also a means of production, Coletta said. “I think people are taking advantage of it,” he said. “You’re not just playing to your family you’re playing to the world if you want.” Coletta calls this phase a “personal media phase,” and this is just the beginning of it, he said. “That’s just going to be the way things are, it’ll be here forever,” Coletta said.

FOR KEEPS, a local store downtown, sells a variety of scarves for summer and winter. Scarves range from $2.99 to $29.99.
Infinity scarves prove to be a cheap, fashionable trend on campus By Katie Logsdon Reporter
With the weather getting colder, many students are bundling up with hats, gloves and scarves to stay warm. Scarves are not only used to keep warm during the winter months, but have also become a popular fashion accessory. “In the last few years they have become more of a statement piece,” Morgan Grilliot, apparel merchandising and product development student said. “It gives the eye something to focus on close to the neck which then draws the eye to the face. Scarves are being worn in bright colors with interesting knit detail and have become oversized, which makes them a statement piece.” Although scarves are worn for different reasons, infinity scarves have become a growing fashion. “Infinity scarves are a new trend accessory item that offers lots of styling options and easy to wear,”
said, Diane Frey, an apparel merchandising and product development associate professor. “The infinity name gives the scarf more appeal. It is a way to add personal expression to your look.” Infinity scarves are not just for women. Frey said both men and women wear them. A survey of students from the fashion forecasting class in the AMPD program revealed that 98 percent of students have purchased at least one infinity scarf, Frey said. Sophomore Marissa Stambol said infinity scarves are a great winter accessory for the Bowling Green weather. “With the wind here there isn’t a way for them to fly off,” Stambol said. “I like that you can keep warm and still look great,” Grilliot also agreed that infinity scarves are great for the winter weather. “Since the weather is starting to get colder, the trend for infinity scarves has become very popular,”

Grilliot said. “The infinity scarf makes it easier to wrap around the neck and is perfect for college students who are on the go.” Not only are the scarves fashionable, but they’re cheap. Amy Craft Ahrens, owner of the local fashion boutique For Keeps, said scarves are inexpensive and can be worn during all seasons. “It’s so easy to change an outfit without spending a lot of money,” Ahrens said. “There are cozy scarves for winter and light scarves for summer.” The scarves Ahrens sells at For Keeps range from $2.99 to $29.99. Students can also save money by making their own infinity scarves from old shirts that they no longer wear. “One of the really cool things I have learned about infinity scarves is that you can make your own by cutting an old shirt right below the arm holes,” said, Sydney Boeddeker, a sophomore. “The shirt instantly becomes a scarf.”

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “No, it’s just kinda creepy and weird.”
JEROME ANDERSON Senior, Healthcare Administration
Quality education suffers with recent faculty layoffs JAMES PFUNDSTEIN FACULTY COLUMNIST
The hammer dropped this past Friday. The Mazey administration’s plan for BGSU’s future always had some problems. To cut the number of faculty at this University while dramatically increasing student enrollments, something has to give in this scenario, and that will almost certainly include the quality of education. Increasing student enrollments is an aspirational goal. The administration may hope it happens, and may do things that promote it, but they can’t achieve it by fiat. Our enrollments were down this year, again. Cutting faculty is different. They sure can do that by fiat, and President Mazey made it official last Friday. The University will cut 100 full-time faculty positions by fall 2013. This will save the University 5.2 million dollars. It’s a pure coincidence, of course, but the University is expected to lose about 5 million dollars in state funding next year. Therefore we will lose 11% of BGSU’s full-time faculty. QED! A few administrators were calling this “right-sizing” which shows how deeply some minds have sunk into the muck of pseudo-corporate jargon. Retention is as important as recruitment for achieving high student enrollments— all the more so, because the new funding model for state universities in Ohio is based on how well we graduate students, not numbers of students on courselists. Will retention

increase or decline when students have less access to fulltime faculty? Decline seems more likely. So the administration’s move will work against its own professed strategy. Then there’s the matter of recruitment. Step with me into an alternate universe, like yet unlike ours. In this otherverse, alternateBGSU’s administration bargained in good faith with the University’s faculty. They signed a contract by the agreed-upon deadline, July 2012, and alternate-BGSU spent the following year as a team, striving to build a better university for the benefit of the students and their community. This didn’t happen, because of the administration’s bizarre reluctance to take up its responsibilities as a negotiator. But suppose it had? Which BGSU is more likely to appeal to prospective students? Which BGSU is more likely to retain the students it attracts? Obviously: the one that seems to work better. Sadly, that’s not ours, at least not yet. The next question that arises: What are they after? If the administration’s purpose is to harm the faculty, the students, and the reputation of this university in which we’ve staked so much of our lives, then they’ve made a pretty good start. But it’s hard to believe that was their intended end game. At any rate, among all the unanswered questions, we now know one thing for certain. President Mazey’s decimation of the faculty shows us exactly where the administration places education among its priorities. Last.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Historical context should be considered The column, “United States is a Republic, not a Democracy,” (BG News, Jan. 22, 2013) while misinterpreting much of American history, does your readers a disservice by spreading a popular rightwing falsehood. In the course of his ramblings Mr. Schurrer presents
what the columnist claims is a quotation from Alexander Fraser Tytler, an eighteenth century Scottish philosopher, in which he prophetically claims that democracies fail because their selfish citizens will inevitably vote themselves “largesse from the public treasury.” Besides sounding suspiciously like Romneydefenders’ claims that Obama
won re-election because of the “gifts” he gave away in his first term, this supposed quote is actually an invention of a late nineteenth century political hack, John B. Glubb. It has since been rediscovered and popularized by the so-called “tea party” and its followers. I would hope The BG News would do better in fact-checking its columnists in the future.
For reference, please see, among many sources, the conclusion of the librarians at the University of Edinburgh, who have received many enquiries about this quote over the years. http://www.lib.ed.ac.uk/ faqs/parqsqtt.shtml#Aftytler2

Passing judgment means thinking outside the box MATTHEW THACKER FORUM EDITOR In October, BGSU basketball coach Louis Orr awoke one morning to find graffiti chalked on the driveway of his home. Some of the graffiti were racist etchings, featuring a swastika and the words “white power.” It was soon discovered by the local police that four teens—ranging in age from 15 to 17—were to blame for the crime, and one of the teens actually admitted to his involvement. That same article says that teen, “told police it was a ‘prank,’ and that one of their classmates -- who they consider to be a friend -- lives at that house.” This story made news all over the country via national news sites like the Huffington Post, because Orr is known from his time in the NBA as well as his collegiate coaching career. Two of the four teens in this case were charged with ethnic intimidation and criminal mischief and appeared in court on Tuesday. Usually in cases like this, it goes one of two ways; either the judge
lets them off with a slap on the wrist, or else tries to make an example of them by throwing the book at them. On Tuesday, however, the judge in this case did neither. He was quoted as saying, “With the consent of all parties, the youth were ordered to have a face to face meeting with Mr. Orr and/or his family.” Now I’m someone who usually tends to be skeptical of any authority figure rightoff-the-bat, but in this case I must take my metaphoric hat off to this particular judge and the wisdom of his decision. It would seem to me that anyone who is an -Ist (racist, sexist, ageist, etc.), mainly hates the group it opposes because of two reasons: first, they were taught to hate that group and second, they don’t know any (or at least very few) of the people who comprise that group. I think what the judge is going for here, is to make sure that these teens get the chance to meet, and have an actual conversation, with a member of the group which they are supposedly racist against. And it just happens to be the person whom they targeted with racist graffiti. Of all of the means of dispensing justice at the judge’s
discretion, this is probably the one that strikes the most terror into the heart of a couple of teenagers who drew some racist epitaphs on the driveway of a very large, and athletic, African American man. After the meeting between Orr and the teenagers, the prosecutor’s office plans to meet with Orr and discuss how to proceed with its charges against the teens. This is exactly the common sense approach we need from more judges. Woessner could have decided to immediately throw the book at these teens, taking the chance of ostracizing them and labeling them as racist for what they may have intended as a (unfunny and tasteless) joke. That would only serve to exasperate the teens’ attitudes toward others. On the other side of the coin, if this was not in actuality a joke, to let the teens off with a slap on the wrist could send the message that there are no consequences for reckless and stupid behavior. That too, could only serve to exasperate the teens’ attitudes toward others. What I like best about the judge’s decision is that it lets Orr play a role in dealing with the teens. As the victim
of the teens’ racist graffiti, Orr should have more of a say in the consequences that the teens face. Were they really just playing a joke or were they sincere in their racist chalk etchings? Are they openly remorseful to Orr and his family or only resentful at having been caught? As someone who as presumably faced racism in the past, Orr may be the best to judge the intentions of the teens and thus help the prosecutor’s office decide the severity of the charges that should be levied. Racism, of course, is stupid and meaningless but we all do stupid things as kids and I hope that regardless of the outcome, these kids will see the error of their ways and change for the betterment of our community and our society. I hope these kids realize that this judge has, if nothing else, given them a fair chance to explain, defend and promise to change themselves. They better grab that chance and make the most of it, because a lot of kids in the criminal justice system are not that fortunate.

Don’t judge others based on appearances, actions without knowing them OLIVIA SMITH COLUMNIST
Why do so many people feel the need to make fun of and judge others? This question crosses my mind daily. I wonder why we, as humans, feel the need to judge and degrade others. It’s human nature to compare ourselves to others, whether it’s to our family members, peers or even celeb-
rities we see in the media. We base our judgments of ourselves and others on these comparisons. Judging others sometimes gives people a sense of prestige because demeaning others can create a false sense of security and identity. When it comes down to it, people are different. No two people are completely alike. We need to accept these differences and stop judging people. It is hurtful to them and makes the people ridiculing them look bad. Even if one does not verbalize their judgments, it

does not mean their insensitive thoughts are acceptable. It goes with the saying: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I’m not saying that I never make fun of people. In fact, I find myself judging others more often than not. Due to this realization, I made it my New Year’s Resolution to try and stop judging others, especially people I haven’t met. I think it’s unfair for me to draw conclusions and opinions about others without knowing them. While walking on campus, it’s easy to look at the person

walking past you and make quick judgments. These judgments are usually based upon their outward appearance. This leads to the notion that looks do not make a person. So what if the girl is wearing a crazy outfit or if that boy has green hair? Does this make them a freak and a target for ridicule? The answer is absolutely not. What will it take for people to accept others for who they are and not make fun of them simply because they are different from themselves or what society portrays to us as nor-
mal? This question may never be answered. I hear people say things about others all the time without consequences and this encourages them to continue getting their laughs through other peoples’ pain. It’s hard to listen to, but it can be stopped. As young adults, it’s our duty to make a conscience effort to be more accepting towards others’ differences, especially at college. For many, college is an outlet for self-expression and the beginning of the rest of their lives. Who are we to judge how others act, look, dress or who
they hang out with? To make fun of a peer is immature and shows people around you that you are close-minded. All in all, I hope that more people this year start out with open minds and reduce the amount they talk about, make fun of, and judge others. Once more and more people begin to do this, it will result in a happier life for all. Always remember, treat others how you want to be treated.

Flashed BG offense stepped up as it put out Golden Flashes on Wednesday night By Alex Krempasky Assistant Sports Editor
From the first few minutes of the game, the Falcons kept the Golden Flashes in the dark and defeated Kent State 70-55. The win snaps the team’s two-game losing streak, just in time for their next game at Toledo. Sophomore Chauncey Orr was unstoppable against the Flashes — scoring a career high 18 points. Orr went 5-9, which included four three-point shots and made all four of his free throws on the night. Seniors A’uston Calhoun and Jordan Crawford both had 12 points each, while sophomores Anthony Henderson and Richaun Holmes had eight points apiece. The team shot for 44.8 percent on the game, which was one of the highest percentages on the season. Offensively, the Falcons were more aggressive than they have shown in the past and it appeared that they were an entirely different team than they were this past week
against Miami and Buffalo. “We come out every night and we have Jordan as our point guard,” Orr said. “ When he’s finding guys, he really gets us involved, and that’s all it is really … Most of the time, it’s Jordan Crawford getting us the ball and I thanked him after the game because that’s big— we need that because everyone was hitting shots and getting stops.” Orr really shined behind the arc against Kent State. During the first half, Orr and Henderson made back-to-back three-pointers which pushed the lead to 10 points at the time. The Falcons were on fire on the defensive side of the ball. Calhoun recorded 13 rebounds on top of the 12 points he scored, which gave him his second double-double of the season. Holmes had a good night overall especially defensively. He came off the bench to score eight points, four rebounds and blocked four Kent State shots. Holmes’ 50

Hockey to face off with nationally ranked RedHawks

Falcons will travel to defensively strong Miami to play another nationally ranked team By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
The BG hockey team has not fared well against Miami University since Head Coach Chris Bergeron took over the team prior to the 2010-11 season. In fact, that lack of success against the RedHawks precedes Bergeron, who was an assistant coach at Miami from 2000-2010 and a player from 1989-93. The Falcons are 0-13-1 against Miami in the team’s past 14 meetings, with the tie occurring this past season on Nov. 19, 2011. That tie — and eventual shootout win — broke a 12-game losing streak against Miami. The last time BG defeated the RedHawks in regulation was Jan. 4, 2008. Bergeron was on the bench for the beginning of that Miami domination against the Falcons. While he said he still, and always will, hold strong feelings for his alma mater, he said there are more unfamiliar faces on the team now than when he first took
the BG job. “It’s the most difficult place for me to go as a visitor … it’s part of my life, will always be part of my life and I’m proud of that,” Bergeron said. “I cheer for them when we’re not playing them, and when we are playing them obviously I don’t want them to do well. I don’t think that will ever change just because of how deep my feelings go for the place.” Ranked No. 6 in the nation, the RedHawks boast one of the most electric scoring duos in the nation in Austin Czarnik and Riley Barber. They rank first and second in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association in scoring with 26 and 25 points, respectively. However, Miami is not deep in terms of offensive production. Curtis McKenzie ranks third on the team with 15 points, and Cody Murphy is the only other forward with at least 10 points. Matthew Caito leads RedHawks defensemen with 10 points. Miami’s strength lies in its

That proficiency has been spearheaded by a pair of freshmen: Jay Williams and Ryan McKay. Tasked with replacing last season’s duo of Cody Reichard and Connor Knapp, Williams and McKay have exceeded expectations thus far. McKay has played in fewer games — nine, all starts — but has posted the better numbers. He has allowed only eight goals all season, giving him a .97 goals-against average and a .964 save percent.

PULSE BRIEF
Concert tickets are expected to sell out
Formed in Columbus Ohio, Twenty One Pilots will be performing at Howard’s Club H on Jan. 31. Tickets are on sale for $9.99 on ticketweb.com and at the doors. There is an extra $2 charge for everyone under 21 and the show will begin at 7:30 p.m. Colleen Jenkins, bartender at Howard’s Club H, said the bar is excited about the show.
“The show will most likely sell out,” Jenkins said. “We advise people who want to go to the show to get tickets as soon as they can so they can come.” The “piano-driven schizoid pop” band, according to its official website, is comprised of musicians Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. The duo have an extended play (EP) titled “Three Songs” and released a full length album called “Vessel” on Jan. 8. The band currently is on tour in support of its newly released album and will travel to Japan at the end of February. The band is excited to travel and tour.

Local band puts own spin on artist covers By Geoff Burns Reporter
Forgetting Frank is a new and upcoming five-piece band from Westlake, Ohio and completing the formation in Bowling Green, Ohio. Each member is a senior at the University. Vocalist Austin Mazurik and guitarist and vocalist Aaron Mehling went to the same high school in Westlake, but didn’t start making music until their junior year at the University. The members were friends with drummer Gabriel Hartman and guitarist Mark McCann from living in the residence halls. Bassist Jon Thrasher attended the show and was asked to play in the band, completing the lineup. Mazurik said the band has only played three shows since

“I’ve seen the show ... I think it’s entertaining and ridiculous because they believe in love over the Internet,” Walker said. Brion White, graduate assistant in media and communications, explained the process of how some people start relationships online. “It starts with the computer, moves to phone calls, then pictures,” White said. “At some point you have to meet or there might be some signs of red flags.” The man Eastman spoke to online had refused to send any pictures to confirm his identity prior to them meeting at Cedar Point. “He ended up being my height (about 5’1”), pretty round, so that football uni-

they formed and practice once a week in the music building at night. “We drag all of our equipment into the music building at 10 p.m. and generally the practices will go to about 2 a.m., so they’re really late night practices,” Mazurik said. “I don’t know how we do it because we all get up early too, for class.” Corey James, general manager, said he met Mehling sophomore year as a random roommate in Harshman and knew the guitarist had a band. James was asked to manage the band and books shows, and creates events on Facebook to get their name out there. “The band is already starting to build very fast,” James said. “I get to be involved in something I really like such as music and I get to hang out with my best friends while
doing it.” Forgetting Frank cover songs from bands such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters and Third Eye Blind and incorporate some original songs when performing. Mazurik said he and Mehling write most of the songs both lyrically and musically. “When we write, it comes from all of our life experiences,” Mazurik said. “Right now, we’re trying to improve our live concerts. If you’re not a really good live band then you have no reason to be playing music.” Joe Kospelnik, owner of
Campus Quarters, has seen the band perform at his venue twice and said he enjoyed both shows. “I like the cover songs they do because their selection is pretty wide and they put their own twist on them,” Kospelnik said. “They seem to have a nice following. The band is always talking to the crowd, calling specific people out and it’s good interaction.” Mazurik said the band is just trying to get its name known to the public and is trying to play as many shows as possible. “It’s just a matter of taking things slow and to not just mess up our future in case things don’t work out,” Mazurik said. The band’s songs are available to listen to on its Facebook page and will be performing at One49 North on Feb. 2 at 10 p.m.
form in his picture must have been holding it all in,” Eastman said. “I felt bad, so I ended up dating him for a while.” White said people, getting caught up in a lie can be exciting. “Hiding behind the Internet is easier than putting yourself out there because you control how much you share with a person,” White said. The uncertainty reduction theory is what White used to describe why people feel more comfortable using the Internet to jump-start a relationship of any kind. When strangers meet, their focus is usually on reducing their levels of uncertainty in the situation, he said. Sandra Faulkner, associate professor in media and communications, said at some point, people online may want to try other ways of
communicating. “Something people may notice is people tend to be suspicious if reluctant to provide information,” Faulkner said. “People should request to speak through Skype or different hatting services.” Eastman wasn’t sure why he got so serious about their relationship after a short amount of time, but she said she stayed true to her gut feeling to end things. “He wouldn’t stop calling for a little while,” Eastman said. “He wouldn’t let go.” Some people might believe fantasy is greater than reality, White said. “People can make relationships what they want of it,” White said. “When [people] are with someone everyday, they notice flaws while online, they can make believe.” Te’o also claims to be a vic-
tim of “catfishing.” Last week, the Notre Dame star’s online girlfriend, who he’d claimed died of cancer, was revealed to be a hoax. White said that while Te’o may have used his online story to generate more media attention, her convincingness may have deceived him after all. “Te’o is from Hawaii and when he met his lady, she was from Hawaii as well ... she culturally connected to him,” White said. “But then again, he said he met her when he didn’t and said she went to Stanford and she didn’t.” Eastman’s advice to people is to watch what people put on the Internet and who they are talking to. “You can put yourself out there on the Internet, but know who you are talking to and be smart about it,” Eastman said.

Miami offense regroups to hold off Falcons after BG started game off strong By Alex Krempasky Assistant Sports Editor

The women’s basketball team spent most of Thursday night fighting to come back, falling just short to Miami as the RedHawks defeated the Falcons 57-54 at the Stroh Center. Junior Alexis Rogers started the game off full-throttle by leading an 11-2 scoring run that lasted for more than seven minutes of the game. Rogers scored seven of the team’s 11 points during the run. After BG’s run in the opening minutes of the game, Miami went on their own seven-point run to take the lead while efficiently stopping BG’s scoring attack. BG went nearly six minutes without scoring a basket until Rogers stopped the drought with two free-throws. Just before halftime, freshman Miriam Justinger sunk a threepoint shot to cut Miami’s lead to five points. Throughout the first 10 minutes of the second half, Miami went on a six –point run and BG answered with a six-point run of its own. BG kept it close by remaining within two or three points most of the game, and Rogers even tied the game up at 47 a piece with two freethrows with just over four minutes left to play.
The Falcons fought from two- and three-point deficits for most of the final four minutes and had a chance to come back when Miami senior forward Kirsten Olowinski missed a free throw with six seconds left. BG failed to secure a defensive rebound with most of Miami’s team on the other end of the court and allowed the RedHawks to retrieve the ball. With just over three seconds left, the RedHawks missed a free-throw to give them a four-point edge and effectively secure them a victory. Senior Danielle Havel got the rebound but came up short on a half-court shot to tie the game at the buzzer. “I’m proud of our kids for coming back,” head coach Jennifer Roos said. “But there were a couple mistakes that we made that were extremely costly.” Rogers led the Falcons with 19 points and freshman Bailey Cairnduff stepped up in crucial moments and finished with seven points during the game. Havel scored the team’s second most points with nine and junior Jillian Halfhill chipped in eight. “This was a classic BG-Miami game,” Roos said. “Some people look at our Toledo-BG as the biggest rivalry, but this is pretty close too.”
during non-conference play but once conference play began, he has not had the same amount of time on the court. He recorded 20 minutes against the Golden Flashes, but scored four points and committed four personal fouls during his time on the court. This win marks BG’s sixth win at the Stroh Center this season and the 18th win all-time in the facility. When the Falcons score 70 points or more at the Stroh Center, they are undefeated in seven games. Saturday marks undoubtedly the most important game on the Falcons’ schedule — the Battle of I-75 match against the Toledo Rockets. But, like BG, Toledo has had a
rough season as well. The Rockets are 6-10 (2-3) and have lost three straight against Western Michigan, Ohio and Akron. Toledo struggled in non-conference play as well. UT went 1-3 against Horizon League opponents— they beat IllinoisChicago but lost close to Loyola (IL), Cleveland State and Detroit. The Rockets also gave up a demoralizing loss to Florida Gulf Coast, in which junior Rian Pearson scored 28 points against the Eagles. Then on New Year’s Eve, Toledo was upset by Chicago State (4-12) at home. The Falcons will make their 20 minute trip to Toledo Saturday, where tip-off at Savage Arena will commence at 7 p.m.
fifth in the CCHA and 12th nationally. “When you lose two seniors, you think there is going to be a little bit of a drop off,” Bergeron said. “But it seems that there hasn’t been a drop off at all.” Bergeron said much of Miami’s defensive success comes from their attention to detail, as well as their familiarity with Head Coach Enrico Blasi — who
has been at the school for 14 years — and the system that he runs. “They’re doing the small things the way you’re supposed to do them,” Bergeron said. “I think that they’ve been doing it for so long now that it’s almost routine.” Friday’s game in Oxford, Ohio is scheduled for a 7:35 p.m. puck drop, while Saturday’s game will begin at 7:05 p.m.

SEMESTER From Page 1 transition co-director at Ohio University, said the change required major planning from many people and had to completely redesign the curriculum for all of the courses. Students have been complaining about the length of the semester since the switch, he said. “Students have complained about the semester taking forever and them getting tired of the course after 12 weeks,” Giesley said. “It was quite a bit of work on everybody’s behalf.” The transferring of credits and degree completion are two of the main goals with the transition process, he said. The semester system change went smoothly and students haven’t complained often, said Kristi Nelson, senior vice provost at the University of Cincinnati.
“Things seem pretty normal, just on a different time frame but other than that things have been moving along and are in really good shape,” Nelson said. Schools on semesters will make it easier for students to transfer their credits, without losing time or credits in the process, Robinson said. “Everyone is on the same schedule, and a single academic calendar will increase student transfer, mobility, student success and system-wide efficiencies.” Junior Alexandria Lahey said she enjoys being on semesters because it helps her get to know her professors more. “It’s an opportunity to get to know your professor a little bit more, especially if you only get that professor for one class,” Lahey said. “I don’t understand how classes can be that quick with quarters and semesters already go by pretty fast.”
