Gardener inspires growth

Speaker offers different planting techniques By Abby Welsh Pulse Editor
When Christine Haar moved into her house in the city, she didn’t realize she would have to figure out a different way to plant her garden. “I live on Sand Ridge Road, and yes, it is surrounded by sand, so I understand how difficult it can be to grow with different materials,” said Haar, coordinator and director of dietetics at the University. She explained the different ways to grow fruits and vegetables to a group of curious residents and students through a powerpoint presentation on Tuesday night at the Family and Consumer Sciences Building. Some of the audience members said they wanted to learn about unfertilized soil, how to grow plants inside, how to grow plants in a pot for the wintertime and how to grow plants in a vertical pot. “Clay soil, sand and soil all require different attention because they are all different,” Haar explained to the audience. “You also have to make sure the type of pot is used. If you use a wooden one —be careful there aren’t chemicals embedded in them.” Harr completed a Master Gardener program a few years ago that she said helped advise and educate her on different ways to plant vegetable gardens. “There are many factors that go into growing gardens people don’t realize,” Haar said. “I like to play around in my yard to experiment.” Haar asked the audience members why they attended and what they wanted to learn. Sophomore Jaryt Salvo was curious if there was an easier way to grow plants. “People have pills and vitamins; is there any way we can just crush up some of those pills to sprinkle on the

Benefits, costs come with making, buying coffee By Alex Alusheff City Editor
In the course of the semester, sophomore Trisha Conley will have spent 22 percent of her meal plan on coffee. “If anything, I’d buy more coffee because I’m not paying for it, my mom is,” Conley said. While she doesn’t refer to her habit as an addiction, she explains it as being “passionate about coffee.” Conley prefers a grande ice caramel machiatto or a grande white chocolate mocha from Starbucks depending on the weather. At $4.25 a cup for each, Conley will spend $340 during the 16-week semester out of a total of $1,512 of her bronze meal plan. For Conley, this is a necessary cost as her busy schedule demands she stay alert throughout the day, a routine she got used to her freshman year.

“It’s like a legal drug we can use to help stay focused and stay awake,” she said. On the opposite end of the spectrum, junior Catherine Tomanski starts her day with a homemade pot of instant coffee at her home in Toledo. She typically chooses the eightounce Kroger instant brand at $3.79, which lasts her a month. “At Starbucks, its like $4 for a cup of coffee when I pay [$3.79] a month for coffee for a whole container,” Tomanski said. “I’ve saved a lot.” While students can save more money making their own cups of coffee, they are the reason coffee shops such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts are available on campus, said Mike Paulus, director of dining services. “We do this because you want it,”

Paulus said. “A lot of consideration goes into the brands we bring on campus.” Aside from being popular with the college demographic, Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts are more convenient and serve as hang out spots for students, he said. “You’re paying for the experience,” Paulus said of the atmosphere of the stores to the customization of the drinks. Conley said she enjoys the atmosphere of the Starbucks and would hang out there more if it weren’t so crowded. Aside from atmosphere and convenience, there are a few other factors that come into play when deciding to make or buy a cup of coffee, casting customers as competitors, said Dwayne Gremler, University professor of marketing. Factors such as time and resources can sway a person either way, Gremler said. If people have the equipment to make a cup, it makes sense to make it, Gremler said. But if not, they would have to go invest in it, when buying it can be more convenient at the time, he said.

Students living in the residence halls are allowed to have a coffee maker, according to the Office of Residence Life’s website, but Conley doesn’t own one. “I am bad at making coffee,” Conley said. “[Starbucks employees] know how to make it better than I do.” Lack of expertise, like Conley’s, is another reason Gremler said a person’s decision is influenced. Conley is one of 1,500 customers served during weekdays by Starbucks, many of whom use meal plan, said Karen Piotrowski, store coordinator. “People can’t make all the varieties as we can ... and it’s nice to have someone wait on you,” Piotrowski said.

For Dunkin’ Donuts, the mix of coffee and breakfast is what attracts an average of 2,300 customers on the weekdays, said Joshua Knudsen, store manager. “The coffee is cheaper than Starbucks and we have different roasts,” Knudsen said. For Tomanski, one variety doesn’t really differ from another. “I’ve never noticed a difference,” Tomanski said, comparing her instant coffee to name brands. “It’s probably the same quality.” Though she knows in the long run coffee may be cheaper to make, Conley said when she lives off campus, she would probably continue her habit. “It’s a tough decision,” she said. “It’s just a lot of work and I don’t know how to make things.”

Cyprus economy a warning for other countries CASSIE SULLIVAN COLUMNIST
After two weeks of the nation’s banks being closed, Cyprus opened its banks again after facing a financial meltdown that nearly crashed the small island country’s economy. Receiving a bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, Cyprus is expected to contribute some of the money in which they received in order to stabilize their economy. Along with the banks being shut down for nearly two weeks, Cyprus is also facing limitations put on them by the capital. These limitations placed include placing a limit on how much money can be withdrawn from the banks per day, per account. This limit of $390, along with a monthly limit all together. These limits prevent a rush on the banks, which if that were to happen, would definitely crash the economy. Anyone traveling out of the country will also be unable to withdraw or charge anything over $3,800 a month. Capital control is when restrictions such as what is happening in Cyprus, are placed on citizens and the money that is in the banks. These restrictions, placed by the government, prevent money from being moved around freely, like before. This is why the banks being closed for nearly 10 weeks, along with the restrictions on how much money can be pulled out at once. These limitations placed on the citizens of Cyprus are part of the bailout plan with the creditors who are keeping the country from complete and utter economic failure. Any unprotected accounts with more than $130,000 in them will have 40 percent of the money taken away in order to pay for the bailout the country is facing. Along with these measures and actions taking place, the second largest bank will be shut down, and the accounts moved to two different banks, depending on the financial status of these accounts. What caused the crisis in

Cyprus? When Greece had their bailout not too long ago, Cyprus had a hand in taking care of their fellow country. In 2010, after Greece’s own economy started to show the strain it was in with the inability to meet its own debt, which was caused by weaknesses in Greece’s economy. Cyprus took Greek bonds while also being harmed by the debt that had been moved around. Cyprus took some of the debt, and is now suffering from their actions. Three years later, Cyprus is facing a crisis similar to what happened in Greece, but is not getting the same treatment from the EU and IMF. While the EU wiped away Greece’s debt along with plans to rebuild Greece’s economy with heavy counseling. But the plan of action for handling the crisis in Cyprus is different than with Greece. While both the EU and the IMF are going to give money to help with the national debt, about $25,681,900,000 billion, while Cyprus has to fund about $10,574,900,000 billion. While other countries have been able to avoid the bailouts, Cyprus is the unfortunate one to have the experience of needing to be bailed out. With their bailout, Cyprus became the first country to bring capital controls in order to prevent a mass exodus of money leaving the country. In times of uncertainty if one’s money is not going to be safe within the banks, people will empty their accounts, which the banks cannot handle. While one crisis was avoided by closing the banks, Cyprus has a long way to go in fixing their debt crisis along with providing an example to other countries who are struggling to keep their heads above water with the debt crisis. Between the real estate crisis a few years ago, the overall value of the euro, and countries within the EU believing they can borrow beyond their means, have all harmed their economic structure. With time and a lot of effort, these countries might be able to hold their heads above water eventually, but for now, they’re perpetually drowning in debt. Respond to Cassie at thenews@bgnews.com

Spontaneous interactions spark creativity By Samantha Kelley Columnist
Have you ever bumped into a friend and then afterwards, felt a spark of motivation, innovation or creativity? If so, then you just might have been impacted by naturally occurring chemical reactions, which can stimulate the same part of your brain that controls your creative capacity. “I m a g i n e : Ho w Creativity Works” is a book written by Jonah Lehrer in which he explains the creative processes and how human interactions and mental stimulation is one of the biggest factors in the creative process and science of innovation. Unfor tunately, Mr. Lehrer recently resigned his position at the New Yorker for fabricating a quote by Bob Dylan
in his book. The madeup quote was an extension of an interview with Dylan about his process of songwriting in which he says, “There’s no great message. I just write them.” Then, Mr. Lehrer adds, “Stop asking me to explain.” The third sentence did not exist in the interview. However, the impact of creative stimulation mixed with spontaneous interaction still seems valid. In my opinion, Mr. Lehrer did lie about the quotes of one of the most studied musicians, Bob Dylan, (who will be performing soon at the Stroh Center), but it does not take away from the science of creativity. Spontaneous interactions can still play a huge part in boosting and stimulating the creative faculties in the brain. The book asserts this
point by explaining how Disney Pixar studio has a space in the building allowing all faculty members to interact. The forced interactions help to produce ideas and stimulate brain activity in the studio. People may or may not be aware these interactions can make you smarter and more productive in your endeavors. Technolog y and art may seem like an unlikely marriage, but the couple has a profound impact on each other and in production studios. Another author, Tina Fey, has a similar approach in writing comedic pieces— where she places Iv y League cerebral comedians with party boys that have naturally occurring talent and little-to-no college degrees together to form comedic genius. Centralized restrooms
in the studio are designed to have a similar impact. Although, in these cases you may want to keep a close eye on the interactions you engage in in those circumstances. If these small interactions can actually boost creativity, how would we view daily interactions differently? I would say we might be less cautious in approaching others and engaging in conversations about various topics. It’s important to note spontaneous should not be synonymous with other adjectives such as impulsive and should not be off-putting or surprising to the other person; both parties should be considerate and harmonious in these interactions.

Political parties have no off season after elections MATTHEW THACKER COLUMNIST On Saturday, Ed FitzGerald spoke at Grounds for Thought in Bowling Green. FitzGerald is the County Executive of Cuyahoga County and has announced the formation of an Exploratory Committee to seek the Democratic nomination to run for Governor of Ohio in 2014. FitzGerald is not the only higher-office holder to make a visit to Bowling Green in the last week. Ohio’s U.S. Senator, Sherrod Brown, made an impromptu visit to Grounds for Thought last Wednesday (to speak about his support of a higher federal minimum wage), and this evening Ohio State Senator Nina Turner will be speaking on campus at 7 p.m. in 121 West Hall. The College Democrats are hosting the event this evening, but College Democrats President Michael Hart made it clear to me that this evening’s event is for people of all political affiliations. “The topic that Sen.

Turner is coming to talk about is the importance of voting,” Hart said, “That’s something that is important to all of us.” And while that is an important topic to Democrats and Republicans alike, an old political adage comes to mind: You can tell which party is thinking about you by watching which one comes around in the off (non-election) years. Ed FitzGerald said a lot of things that I agree with at Grounds for Thought on Saturday, but just as important as what he had to say was the fact that he came here to Bowling Green, 18 months before the election, to say it. The Democrat Party is no more the perfect political party than any other one is, but if you look at their proposed policies you will find that they care more about our society’s most vulnerable people than the Republican Party does. And these days, when I say “vulnerable people,” I’m talking about anyone who has to worry about paying the electric bill or being able to afford gas to make it back and forth to work this week. What the Republican Party relies on is that we will forget that we’re not rich. Or
maybe they count on us all thinking that we are going to be rich someday. FitzGerald spoke about this briefly during his stop at Grounds for Thought, saying that (current Republican governor) John Kasich favors slightly lowering the state income tax rate and raising the state sales tax. “That’s getting rid of a progressive tax in favor of regressive one that favors the wealthy,” FitzGerald said. Favoring the wealthy is the GOP’s modes operandi. For proof of this you need not look past the last Republican administration—though if you do, you will find this has been true since at least President Reagan. George W. Bush sent us into two wars simultaneously, and started a new prescription drug plan, all while lowering income taxes to an unprecedented rate for America’s wealthiest people. This astonished most economists who said that never in history had America lowered taxes during wartime, and now we know why. Bush and the Republicans then had the gall to blame the economic collapse on people who took home loans and couldn’t afford them, placing the blame squarely
on the working class. That is nothing more than a big crock. The economy tanked because of trickle-down economics that never seems to trickle, because when most rich people are given more money they do not create jobs, they pad their own bank accounts instead. I know that modern sensibilities tell you that no politician of any stripe cares about you, and I will not argue that every single Democratic politician cares about every single person all of the time. But if you take a few minutes to look at the people that the political parties’ policies favor, you will find that Republican policies do not help you if you make less than about $100,000 a year. And if you’re not sure what Democratic policies are, and you don’t want to take the time to look them up online, just go to a Democratic event and ask them. You’ll know it’s a Democratic event because it is going on in a non-election year.
