University Libraries observe National Library Week to honor staff with special events By Tyler Buchanan Reporter

Dr. Seuss, Vonnegut and Orwell are among names etched on paper falcons throughout the Jerome Library as students’ favorite authors. A display of colored paper lining the first floor lobby of patrons’ favorite books and childhood stories are just one of the week-long exhibits at the University to celebrate National Library Week. Several of the events held to honor libraries on campus were photo opportunities with Special Collections, according to an activities calendar blog provided by University Libraries. On Tuesday, students participated in “sleevefacing” with the Music Library Sound Recordings Archive, where students pose in front of an album sleeve to frame an illusion with the musician’s face or body. Students then had the opportunity to picture themselves as a puppet with the Curriculum Resource Center on Wednesday, said Kathy Yoder, an events coordinator for National Library Week on campus. All photos are uploaded to a University Libraries Flickr account. The purpose of the week is to celebrate both libraries and their workers, said Sara Bushong, dean of University Libraries. The festivities hope to showcase services and library features such as Special Collections, she said. Books and archives are not the only things being honored this week, however. The Jerome Library Authors and Artists Celebration was held throughout Wednesday, highlighting faculty and staff for their scholarly and artistic achievements. More than 1,400 authors, artists, musicians and others were nominated by the Chairs of various

The University will host the fourteenth annual Sibs N’Kids weekend from Friday through Sunday for students to interact with their siblings through ca mpus events, ga mes a nd other activities. “This year’s theme for the weekend will be Adventure Awaits, which will be provided with many activities, and athletic teams will have games,” said Mike Freyaldenhoven, assistant dean of students. Freyaldenhoven coordinates the events and oversees Sibs N’Kids weekend. “We plan for about 1,500 people to attend,” Freyaldenhoven said. “Last year we had about 1,100 people attend, but people usually just come the day of.” Students had to be registered by last Monday but are able to register through the weekend either online or at the front desk of the Student Union. “So far we have about 800 students registered, but I’m pretty confident that more will arrive,” Freyaldenhoven said. “Attendance is usually greater than what is registered.” The weekend’s events will include a family photo booth;

University utilizes tools like AlertBG to increase awareness of possible danger By Tasneem Almuhanna Reporter

When an emergency strikes, the University has various resources from AlertBG to digital signage to inform students, faculty and staff and ensure their safety. In addition, University Police also offers programs to help prepare for such a situation. In the event of an emergency, an emergency operation plan is in place to deal with multiple hazards, said Michael Campbell, captain for University Police.

Depending on the type of hazard taking place, there are different processes set up to follow. In addition, AlertBG is a text messaging program used to communicate with students, faculty and staff in case of emergencies on campus, Campbell said. AlertBG increases the University’s ability to communicate a variety of warnings, such as severe weather, campus closings, canceled classes, building closures and crimes in progress. “It’s for those who sign up for it,” Campbell said. “In the event of an emergency, you’ll get concise texts

directing you to stay away from areas ... Along with texts, there’s a mass email that’s sent out.” Besides a mass email, the University’s website will display a message to inform students in the event of an emergency, he said. Digital signage on campus will also change depending on the emergency. “This basically informs the students and staff where it is on campus that they should stay away from,”

schools on campus, Yoder said. Observed each April throughout the country, National Library Week was sponsored first in 1958 by the American Library Association — nearly a decade before Jerome Library was constructed. While the celebration remains constant, libraries, including the University Libraries have changed dramatically in the half century since. “We have completely embraced technology,” Yoder said of University Libraries. “We are looking a lot different over the years than they have in the past.” Technology and innovation continues to be a primary focus, Bushong said. Jerome Library is “trying

in Distress,” available for students, as well as faculty and staff. The program helps individuals recognize someone who is in distress or is displaying strange behavior and learn how to respond to such behavior. “Sometimes people have trouble in knowing what to do and whether or not to get involved and how to report it,” Campbell said. “The program teaches people what to do.” In addition to the program, the police also offers ALICE training, which is a training program for an active shooter program. “ALICE” is an acronym standing for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate, Campbell said. The training gives a

While University Libraries looks to digitize services, it continues to grasp at a need for tangibility. Patrons can still enjoy browsing movie scripts and rare comic books at the Browne Popular Culture Library or receive academic help at the Learning Commons. For this week, as a nation of bibliophiles honors the changing public institution, students can enjoy a throwback to the days before technology and pencil their favorite author on the lobby wall.

It gives an individual more tools than just a lockdown, he said. “We have done Residence Life training as far as [resident advisers] and hall directors,” Campbell said. “We also had instructors planning to cancel class have us come in and give background information about our programs.” Kari Johnson, executive assistant to the dean, said it’s good to be prepared for emergency situations and different scenarios. Both programs help people assess situations and how to best react, she said. Jona h Ph i l l ips, University senior, said

every year, millions of students walk onto a college or university campus with one overall goal: to obtain a higher level of education. To ensure students are provided the best possible opportunity to succeed in college, a safe and secure learning environment is essential, he said. Whether it is campus security walking students to their cars at night or students having cans of pepper spray in their pockets, security is important, Phillips said. Learning the information offered from the University’s programs is vital. “The importance of campus safety should be stressed throughout colleges and universities everywhere,” he said.

SIBS N’KIDS WEEKEND

CAMPUS BRIEF

The big top comes to the Stroh Center

The Stroh Center will be hosting the Picadilly Circus Friday evening at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. in time for Sibs N’Kids Weekend. The Picadilly Circus, which got its name from the London Center, has been around for generations

and features a wide variety of acts, said Misty Hamilton of marketing and promotions for the circus. The show includes features such as elephants, white tigers, contortionists and “Motorcyle Madness,” where a cyclist rides around in a metal sphere, Hamilton said. The circus provides familyfriendly live entertainment that can be enjoyed by a lot of different audiences, she said. According to a press release

from the University’s athletics website, tickets start at $30 for adults with free children’s tickets available. Tickets can be bought online at www.thefuncircus.com. Other events this weekend include, but are not limited to: a BG Adventure Amusement Park at Carillon Park at 3 p.m. and the Laser Blast Adventure at the University Lawn at 6 p.m. Both are hosted Saturday.

SIBS From Page 1 rock wall; kids Quidditch tournament; showing of “The Adventures of TinTin,” Adventure Islandwhich will take place in the Union with food and games- a treasure hunt; and a T-shirt tie-dye and laser-blast. Multiple sporting events will be going on this weekend as well. Daniel Murphy, the Graduate Assistant in the Office of Campus Activities, is also helping advise the Sibs N’Kids students committee. “The students themselves are the ones who plan the weekend; I just help make sure they are on track with doing everything that they need to do,” Murphy said. “I also do behind the scenes stuff such as making the schedule and the marketing communication.” This is a University-wide

WWW.BGNEWS.COM event that has help from other organizations too in order to help make this weekend happen. University Activities Organization is one of the main organizations on campus that helps coordinate the weekend. UAO has an estimated budget of $1,300 to spend, Freyaldenhoven said. “UAO and Sibs N’Kids put on a lot of the events, but at the same time other organizations who want to be involved help out and put on events as well,” Murphy said. Every year, Sibs N’Kids event coordinators send out an email to every organization, and if they would like to participate they can. “We also host information meetings for everyone and give them a proposal for them to set up an event,” Murphy said. “Without the help of every organization, this weekend would not exist.”

Junior Clark Jacobs looks forward to this weekend every year. “When my sister invited me to Sibs N’Kids weekend, we had a lot of fun together,” Jacobs said. “We went to some of the sporting events and partied.” Mur phy believes t his weekend event is something that can be benef icia l for students and siblings to bond w ith one another. “I think this weekend helps students create that family bond and sense of belonging to the University when being involved in the campus traditions,” Murphy said. Freyaldenhoven agrees with Murphy that family bonding is something you can’t avoid when participating in Sibs N’Kids. “It’s a neat time to showcase the University from a student’s point of view,” Freyaldenhoven said. “It helps show what it is like to be a Falcon.”

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “Take them to the weight room.”

BRIAN NEWBERN Freshman, Undecided

If you walked anywhere near the Union on Wednesday, there’s a good chance you noticed a rather large wall constructed on the Union mall. To celebrate our constitutional right to freedom of expression and speech, BGSU’s Young Americans for Liberty chapter invited students, faculty, and the surrounding community to express themselves by writing messages, drawing images, and sharing quotes on the wall. As one of the organizers of the event, I’m writing this guest column to thank everyone that helped make the free speech wall an incredible success. With events like these, campus administrators are often afraid of what may be expressed. With a medium for self-expression comes t he possibility of hate speech, v ulgar language, sexual images, etc. Not only were your administrators on board, they were also very supportive of us, even on short notice. For that, we are truly grateful. The University, in my opinion, has proven to be a university that fosters an environment where students can feel comfortable with their views while also remaining respectful. Additionally, I’d like to thank everyone that took the time to write on the wall. The purpose of this event was not only to remind students of their opportunities to express themselves, but to give them one. What we saw was very rewarding. For example, one gentleman wrote, “Dr. said I

Throughout the rest of the day, a few students shared his happiness and relief by writing congratulations to him. Another student wrote, “You own all stock in the market of your thoughts.” This student, we were told, is currently writing a book and decided to share one of his own, original quotes for the rest of the University to see. As was expected, the wall contained some swear words and vulgarity, but as a whole it proved itself to be home to an environment of positivity, inspiration, creativity, and selfexpression. Many students thanked us for providing them with this opportunity and took photos of the wall to remember their own messages, or someone else’s that they found value in. Although it only stood for one day, this will not be the last time the free speech wall will appear on campus.

China offers US a lesson in ‘pure’ politics MATHEW DAVOLI COLUMNIST

The People’s Republic of China’s past may help shine light on the United States of America’s present political culture that seems to demand ideological purity among its policies and personal purity among its policy makers. While it’s a bit cliché to say that American political culture is more divided and extreme ideologically than ever before, it should be pointed out that objective Congressional members are indeed divided ideologically to an extent that’s unprecedented in recent history. And while it’s harder to prove with scientific certainty that all other aspects of the American body politic are just as plagued by calls for “partisan purity,” it’s also hard to deny that assumption if you follow politics to even the slightest degree. At this point you may be asking what China could offer America in regards to this issue. To which I would say that the administrations of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping

ALISSA WIDMAN, MANAGING EDITOR MAX FILBY, NEWS EDITOR LAUREN POFF, WEB EDITOR KATIE DOLCIATO, DESIGN EDITOR BYRON MACK, PHOTO EDITOR RYAN SATKOWIAK, SPORTS EDITOR SUZANNA ANDERSON, COPY CHIEF STEPHAN REED, FORUM EDITOR DANAE KING, PULSE EDITOR BOBBY WADDLE, IN FOCUS EDITOR ALEX ALUSHEFF, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR

can serve as interesting case studies to illuminate, and perhaps propose solutions to, our current political problems. In regards to Mao, despite the way in which he is currently venerated for his perceived achievements in China, he nonetheless did pursue a policy that perpetrated grave disservices against the Chinese people. This policy could best be summed up by the Maoist slogan of “Better Red than Expert.” As the wording of the slogan suggests, ideological purity (being “Red”) was prioritized over expertise in a given subject (economics, public administration, etc.). As one could easily imagine, this led to many qualified public servants being dismissed or simply not hired at all for not being “Red” enough, along with many good policies being overlooked and shunned for not fitting neatly into the Maoist narrative. And in their place, only “pure” public officials and “pure” policies were allowed to remain, regardless of their credentials or practical implications. All this came to a macabre climax called the Cultural Revolution, per-

haps summed up best by Chinese-American playwright David Hwang in the following dialogue from “M. Butterfly”: “[Mao] handed over the reins of state to those with minds like his. And children ruled the Middle Kingdom with complete caprice. The doctrine of the Cultural Revolution implied continuous anarchy.” And it is from that anarchy of ideology trumping and trampling everything in the name of “purity” that American should draw an important lesson. I’m not saying that America will soon suffer from roving gangs in Red Guard garb, hosting images and shouting slogans of Reagan or F.D.R., but what I am saying is that the cost is so high that Americans should fear going anywhere near the direction of ideological convictions trumping practical and pragmatic policies. And while the U.S. should fear the specter of the Chinese slogan “Better Red than Expert,” I think that it would be best to embrace a Chinese slogan that came shortly after it: “It doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white; what matters is how well it catches mice.” The above was stated by Deng Xiaoping, who led the

PRC after Mao, and it’s worthy of close consideration. This more pragmatic view of politics, in which the credentials and practical implications in regards to serving the needs of the state are prioritized over ideological purity, ensured greater prosperity and stability in China. And while there have been shifts too much one way or another from time to time, for the most part the Middle Kingdom has kept to the Middle Way between extremes in partisanship. It has been this policy of being more accepting of “impurities” in politics, politicians, and policy that has led China to its current state of ever increasing prosperity and prestige. While post-Deng China is not without its own problems (the ever growing gap between the poor and the wealthy being among them) it is best to keep in mind that it is at least without the mass starvation and riots that were hallmarks of Mao’s China. It is that victory of pragmatism over “purity” that American politics needs to appropriate at this time, lest it slip into a darker future.

Rugby club puts recent record on the line against OU Bobcats By Max Householder Reporter

BYRON MACK | THE BG NEWS

MATT SCHILZ, BG quarterback, looks to throw a pass during the Falcons’ victory against Morgan State this past season.

Football team hosts annual ‘Orange and White’ spring game By The BG News Sports Staff

Wrapping up spring practices, the BG football team will be hosting its annual “Orange and White” spring game Friday night at Doyt Perry Stadium. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Unlike in past seasons, where the game would be scored offense vs. defense, the squad has been split up into two separate teams. The Falcons held a draft for the game earlier this week, with quarterback Matt Schilz (orange) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (white) serving as team captains. Standard scoring rules will be used for the game, while standard clock rules will be used for the first

half. A 30-minute running clock will be in place for the second half. The game will present a chance for the Falcons to figure things out on both sides of the ball, but particularly on offense, where the Falcons will debut some new faces. After graduating the wide receiver tandem of Kamar Jorden and Eugene Cooper, the Falcons will need to replace the majority of its production from last season at that position. Leading the way in that regard has been University of Michigan transfer Je’Ron Stokes, who will play on the white team. He will receive passes from Matt Johnson, who emerges as the backup quarterback behind Schilz after Trent Hurley transferred to Delaware back in January.

Additionally, reigning MidAmerican Conference Freshman of the Year Anthon Samuel has missed the majority of spring practices after fracturing his wrist in late March. While he is expected to be 100 percent by May, Samuel has struggled with injuries in his BG career. He missed three games last season with separate head, shoulder and leg injuries. John Pettigrew, Jamel Martin and Alex Carter have received the majority of reps at running back while the team waits for Samuel to return. We will be hosting a live chat from the spring game. Head to our sports blog at http//:www. BGNewsSportsBlog.blogspot.com, or search us on Facebook or Twitter to find the link to the chat.

The BG rugby club seems to be coming into its own as of late. After going 1-3 in its first four matches, the Falcons have since won their last two in a convincing fashion. This past weekend they took down the Toledo Celtics, a senior men’s team with a host of former BG alumni. The Falcons beat the savvy veterans by a final of 38-10. They look to carry that momentum into Athens, Ohio this weekend as they will take on the Ohio Bobcats. Over the last two games the Falcons are averaging over 63 points per game, and as Ed Luther notes, the team has really gelled together as a group. “I thought we had trouble executing early on this season, but as we’ve gotten used to the lineup changes our offense has gotten a lot better,” Luther said. Their defense, albeit a staple of Luther’s game, has had some trouble with organization and having good position on the field. “From a defensive standpoint we as a group have to do a better job of getting organized out there, especially out of lost possessions and lineouts,” Luther said. “I think for us to get better we need to really

“From a defensive standpoint we as a group have to do a better job of getting organized out there; especially out of lost possessions and lineouts.” Ed Luther | BG Lock work in practice on the communication part of playing defense.” Although this problem is alarming, with coach Tony Mazzarella’s attention to detail, look for the Falcons to have it corrected by next weekend. On a side note, the Falcons are still waiting on word from USA Rugby to see if they will make it in the sixteen team battle for the National Championship at the end of this month. The tournament is composed of thirteen conference winners and three atlarge bids. The Falcons lost their conference to Davenport back in the fall, but there is a very good chance they will receive an at-large bid.

BG softball splits weekday doubleheader with Detroit Mercy College By Ethan Easterwood Reporter

Rachel Proehl went a perfect 3-for-3 in the Falcons’ first game victory over Detroit Mercy on Wednesday before splitting the series in game two. Proehl led the Falcons in offense with three singles as well as a stolen base. Shelby Fink and Katie Yoho did damage with two RBI each as the Falcons prevailed in game one 6-4. It was the Titans that scored first in the opening inning in accordance with two BG errors. The Falcons picked up the pieces and quickly responded at the plate by scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. The two teams remained scoreless until the top of the fifth inning when Detroit hit a three run homer to give them the 4-3 lead. The Falcons again responded with a hitting of their own in the bottom of the inning by adding three more runs led by doubles by

Yoho and Fink, giving the lead back and solidifying the 6-4 win. The Titans retaliated in game two however, as Falcons pitcher Jamie Kertes allowed eight hits and three earned runs. BG struck first late into the fifth inning, scoring their only run of the game. Erika Stratton led off with a single before being pulled for pinch runner Courtney Cox. Proehl would eventually bring Cox home with a single right down the center of the field. Detroit immediately responded with three runs of their own off of just four hits in the top of the sixth, giving them the 3-1 lead and eventual win. The Falcons will regroup as they continue their home streak with Mid-American Conference play on Friday against Eastern Michigan in a doubleheader before starting the weekend series against Central PARIS IMHOLZ, BG pitcher, begins her windup during the Falcons’ 5-0 loss to Valparaiso earlier this season.

Coming off Michigan win, BG looks to end conference losing streak By The BG News Sports

Coming off a big win against Michigan, the BG baseball team will look to snap its three-game conference losing streak as it hosts Kent State. The three game series begins Friday with a 3 p.m. start, while Saturday and Sunday’s games are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

Last time out, the Falcons slipped past the Wolverines, led by seven strong innings from Trevor Blaylock. However, BG continued a recent trend of offensive struggles. Since it scored 10 runs April 4 against Defiance, BG has scored only six runs in four games. The Falcons are 1-3 during that stretch. BG will turn to Matt

Malewitz as the starter for Friday’s opener. He received the Friday start last weekend against Akron, picking up the loss despite a strong outing. He tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk. He replaced Cody Apthorpe, the Falcons’ normal Friday starter. Apthorpe hasn’t pitched

since March 30, when he went 8 2/3 innings against Central Michigan, but left the game after getting hit by a line drive. Malewitz, a fifth-year senior, has had a strong rebound season after a significant arm injury derailed what was once a promis-

The Falcons also hadn’t won two tournaments in the same season since 2009-2010. Joining the Falcons and Buckeyes will be MidAmerican Conference teams Ball State, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Ohio and Toledo. Other teams include Dayton, Indiana, Marshall, Northwestern, Southern Methodist, Western Kentucky, Wright State and Xavier. Illinois and Kent State tied for first place at the event last year at 857 (-4). Luke Guthrie of Illinois and John Hahn of Kent State tied for first individually at 210 (-3). Kent State returns three of their five golfers that tied for first at the 2011 Robert Kepler Intercollegiate. According to golfweek-

rankings.com, five teams are ranked in the top 100 that will be participating in the event. Kent State leads the field; they are currently ranked 20th. Big Ten teams Indiana, Northwestern and Ohio State are ranked 40th, 56th and 70th respectively. Rounding out the top 100 is Ball State at 86th. Eric Chun is the top individual ranked golfer for Northwestern at 40th. The Scarlet Course is a par 71 track that will play at 7,455 yards. The course was designed in 1938 by Dr. Alister MacKenzie and later renovated by Jack Nicklaus in 2005 and 2006. This will be the second of three straight tournaments at Big Ten Conference courses for the Falcons. BG will head to West Lafayette, Ind. for the Boilermaker Invitational April 21 and 22 before the MAC Championships May 4-6.

ing career for BG. After an All-MAC season in 2009, he missed the 2010 season due to shoulder surgery. He struggled in his return to the mound last season, posting a 5.59 earned-run average and walking more batters than he struck out. However, he has been strong this year, with a 3.80 earned-run average in seven appearances — four starts — this season. Starting game two for BG with be Ethan McKenney, who has had an up-and-down season. He has a 1-5 record with a 6.57 earned-run average, but was strong in his previous outing against Akron, allowing one run during 7

2/3 strong innings. Coach Danny Schmitz had not yet named a starter for the third game. Offensively, the Falcons’ struggles have seen its team batting average dip below .300. That impact can be felt best at the top of the lineup. Jake Thomas, BG’s leadoff hitter, has been in a slump after his red-hot start to the season. During the Falcons’ past eight games, Thomas is 4-for-31 (.129) at the plate. Schmitz hasn’t been able to get much production from the two spot in the lineup either. He has shuffled Brandon Howard, Logan Walker and Brian Bien in the spot during that eight game stretch. In that same stretch, the No. 2 spot in the BG lineup has combined to hit 8-for-35 (.229).

OH, SNAP!

Free, popular application allows users to share images with ease By Max Filby News Editor

To Nathan Dreimiller, his iPhone’s eye is more than just an eight megapixel camera; it’s a way for him to snap and share shots of anything worth seeing. Dreimiller, a senior majoring in Visual Communications technology at the University, has been using the photo sharing app Instagram for the past few months. The smartphone application allows its users to add filters to photos and browse photos submitted by friends they follow. “It just makes my iPhone even more appealing,” Dreimiller said. “I like carrying it around rather than carrying a point and shoot because you can instantly upload everything straight to Facebook.” Although Dreimiller enjoys sending his instagrams

directly to Facebook, he’s worried Facebook’s recent buyout of Instagram could bring some undesirable visuals to Instagram’s photo stream. “I’m kind of worried it might go toward the way of Facebook,” Dreimiller said. “We might start seeing a lot of ads, and I don’t think anyone wants that to happen.” Facebook purchased Instagram for $1 billion earlier this week, according to a press release from Facebook. Facebook fan Mick Doherty, commented that Instagram was “ridiculously overpriced,” but to “trust [Mark] Zuckerberg to have something in mind that will make it worth it.” The buyout, as well as a new android compatible version of the app, pushed Instagram to the number one slot in the Apple App Store and to the number eight spot

Fickle spring vegetable graces market for short time By Amanda McGuire Rzicznek Food Columnist

Asparagus means spring. I wait all year for the window of local, ripe asparagus, which lasts only a few precious weeks, or one full month, if we’re lucky. To confess, I used to buy grocery store asparagus from California, Florida, Mexico or Holland, during the winter months when I was desperate for warm mornings of dewy grass and the flapping sound of flip-flops, but I was always disappointed. It just didn’t taste right. It was flavorless and limp. The lesson: I learned to wait, patiently, for spring season. Like our ancestors did before the industrial food revolution. When they grew asparagus in their backyards. While a part of me is very suspicious of the high temperatures we had this spring, I gasped, clapped and broke down into a killer club dance when I received an email from Homestead Gardens, the gardener from which I get my local produce, that asparagus was available by half-pound increments. Attempting to use all my wiles as a writer and foodie, I ordered two pounds. Justifiably, my request was denied. It was only the end of March; after all, asparagus usually sprouts near the end of April. There was no reason to be greedy in this pre-season. After I received my first halfpound, I knew I had to save it for

something special. When two of our very dear friends were in town the next day, I roasted my first order of asparagus in addition to a whole chicken, some heirloom carrots and mashed potatoes with Dijon mustard and fresh parsley (from Homestead Gardens). I’m usually over-critical of the meals I make, but, for once, I was completely satisfied. The flavors were spot on, the wine pairing was perfect and I was ecstatic to have some quality time with guests I consider to be family. As much as I adore asparagus, it does have its faults. It makes your pee smell pungent. It’s sometimes tough or stringy. It’s sometimes too thick or too thin. Most times it tastes good and other times not so much. I imagine Shakespeare would call it “fickle.” But asparagus has an understandable temperament: “I sprout in spring; you have a month, so make the most of me.” And I do. For that month I overindulge in asparagus. I make batches of asparagus pesto, asparagus soup and asparagus butter, but no recipe ever tastes as good as fresh roasted asparagus right out of the oven or off the grill. Maybe the only rival is asparagus in a stir-fry with garlic sauce. Ring in spring with some local, fresh asparagus. I promise you and your family will be satisfied, and your guests will be decidedly pleased with your seasonal produce.

After debuting together in the 1912 film, “An Unseen Enemy,” sisters Lillian and Dorothy Gish, both Ohio natives, went on to become renowned silent film actresses. It was in 1976 that Ralph Wolfe, a professor in the theatre and film department, dedicated the Lillian and Dorothy Gish Film Theater, housed in Hanna Hall, to them “as a way of commemorating their contributions to film,” said Brett Holden, the associate curator of the Gish Theater. Dorothy, a comedic actress, had already died before the establishment of the Gish Theater, but when Wolfe approached Lillian, a dramatic actress, about naming the theater, she wanted it named for Dorothy as well, Holden said. “She considered Dorothy to be the better actress,” he said. A gallery space in the theater features many artifacts from Lillian. A rotation of many of Lillian’s letters, costumes, clothing and photos, as well as her American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award, are displayed there. In the theater, the backs of the chairs feature the name of the person who dedicated money to the seat, Holden said. These range from local residents to University alumnus and even to famous people. Paul Newman and Bob Hope are just two of the famous names featured on the chairs, he said. “It’s kind of fun just to look at the seat you’re sitting in to see who donated that to the theater,” Holden said. The 35-year-old theater seats approximately 168 people and is open to University students, faculty, staff and even the surrounding community. “The Gish Film Theater is a wonderful space for faculty, staff and students alike to come together on a weekly basis to screen film,” Holden said.

Delivery services tighten approach Local businesses work to decrease delivery times, increase food quality By Tara Keller Pulse Reporter

When their stomachs growl, the last thing some students want to do is wait another hour for food. Some delivery restaurants around Bowling Green know the importance of time to students and they are working toward achieving better delivery times through various methods. Pita Pit stays open until 4 a.m. most nights and, unlike some other nearby restaurants, doesn’t end its delivery times early. “We’re up to the minute,” said Pita Pit manager, Kursten Fenwick. “If you call at 3:59 at night, we will deliver it.” Students are known for ordering late and Pita Pit makes pitas quickly to decrease delivery times, Fenwick said. “As we’re talking to you on the phone taking your order, we’re putting it in the computer,” Fenwick said. “As soon as you hang up, the ticket prints out, and it takes two to four minutes to make the pita.” Delivery accuracy can also aid in delivery times. “We make sure we always have an eye on the fax machine and doublecheck every order,” Fenwick said. “We give the customers realistic

for Android Apps in the Google Play store. Apple also named Instagram the best app of 2011, according to the Apple App Store. Like Dreimiller, Brandon Heiss, a photography instructor at the University, agrees Instagram users may see some changes with the Facebook buyout. Heiss has been using Instagram since about Nov. 2011. “It’s hard to tell what will happen, but Facebook just inherited probably about a million users,” Heiss said. While Dreimiller is a fan of Instagram’s compatibility with other social networks, both Dreimiller and Heiss enjoy the simplicity of Instagram as a photo sharing app. Instagram offers users a variety of filters, geolocation features and a number of other “simple” features. “I’ve downloaded a few other sim-

“

ilar apps, but I keep coming back to Instagram,” Heiss said. “Its simplicity is genius, and that’s why it’s been so successful. It’s a great way of sharing.” Dreimiller and Heiss have tried out other photography apps including Hipstamatic, an app offering a sharing service similar to Instagram. Heiss also recently downloaded an app called Cinemagram which allows users to stop control animation in video clips while also adding other effects. While Instagram and its imitators may only be smartphone apps, both Dreimiller and Heiss think it has opened creative photography to everyday iPhone and Android users. Despite the Facebook buyout, Dreimiller and Heiss plan to continue “instagraming” for now. “It’s culture-changing,” Dreimiller said. “It’s a free app that’s valued at a billion dollars; that just goes to show what you could do with it.”

The system also keeps statistics of order times for the weeks past. “We know where someone’s order is at all times, whether it’s in the oven or out of the oven and on the road,” King said. However, sometimes delivery times have to be extended to ensure product quality. “Cookies take a long time

event that occurs twice a semester, George said. The organization will also be using it for the thirteenth annual Film and Media Festival, which is coming at the end of April. As a film student, George has also attended the Gish Theater for classes. One such class, Culture and the Moving Image, is tied with the Tuesday session and hosted by Cynthia Baron, an instructor in the theatre and film department. “Our class is the core audience,” Baron said, “we’re always there.” Baron works with the Culture Club, an organization of graduate students on campus, to come up with the programming, which features cult films, documentaries and independent films. “You don’t see these movies at

the multiplex,” Baron said. “It’s for people who love film and want to see something you can’t see at a regular theater.” George also liked this aspect of being exposed to a film he wouldn’t normally see. “It’s like purchasing a ticket and not knowing what you’re going to see,” he said. Baron’s class begins on Tuesday at 6 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m., “Tuesdays at the Gish” begin. While anyone is welcome to attend these films, Baron does have one rule. “We ask for people to stay to watch through the credits,” she said. “You’re going as if you’re someone who is part of film culture.” This allows the viewer to sit and reflect and let it sink in, Baron said.
