University instructors determine summer class availability Student graduation may be delayed due to class cancellation By Michelle Black Reporter
Students aren’t the only ones making decisions when it comes to what summer classes to take — instructors also have to decide if the extra money is worth teaching the class. Students may decide to take courses in the summer, which helps lighten their course load or fast-forward their road to graduation, but instructors also have a say in the decision process. John Fischer, associate dean administrator and associate professor of the college of Education and Human Development, said there are options instructors can choose from when they need to decide how they will get paid throughout the year. “Most instructors have an annual salary for the entire year that is spread over 9 months or 12 months, usually by their choice,” Fischer said. Instructors who choose not to teach any courses in the summer have the opportunity to divide their salary into
12 months allowing the teacher to get paid every month or every two weeks over the course of the academic year. Senior Tim Love didn’t think instructors had many options when it came to how they would get paid. “I don’t think I ever really considered all the decisions that instructors had to make in the summer,” Love said. “You usually think about the students who need certain classes offered in the summer to graduate.” Other than considering how to split up their income over the academic year, instructors also have to consider certain regulations that the University has put in place regarding the number of students in a summer class. “[They] are paid for the number of classes they are teaching in the summer and those classes have to be full with enrollment,” Fischer said. “If they’re not full then that faculty member’s salary is prorated, mean-

Harshman demolition plans not solidified Harshman to remain open until at least 2016 By Jonathan Keilholz Reporter
The University’s oldest residence hall will see its 15th birthday next year despite years of tentative demolition plans. “The plan is [ultimately] that Harshman will be the next residence hall to be demolished,” Director of Residence Life, Sarah Waters, said. “The plan for that still isn’t solidified.” The Office of Residence Life has been working to solidify the plan for years with Capital Planning and Design. Each year, the group figures out the size of the incoming classes and how many buildings and beds will be needed. Steve Krakoff, the associate vice president for Capital Planning and Campus Operations, said he hoped to have a demolition date set last year, but a date was never announced.
CVS store to be built in place of Armory
OHIO NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY: Construction continues with plans for CVS to be open by fall.
By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor
After approximately 10 years, Bowling Green residents will soon have a new pharmacy in town. The city is in the process of building a new CVS building downtown in place of the old Ohio National Guard Armory. The armory was built more than 100 years ago and early classes from the University used to take place there. The pharmacy is expected to open in November and will be approximately 13,225
square feet. Michael DeAngelis, director of public relations at CVS, said in an email that the previous pharmacy doesn’t have any bearing on the current plans CVS has for its new store. “We do occasionally close a store for operational or business reasons,” DeAngelis said. “Our former and future locations are unrelated and we are confident that the new CVS will be successful.” Owner of Deck-Hanneman

Funera l Home, K raig Hanneman was one of the early bidders for the property in 2006 and placed a bid for $150,000. CVS finally purchased the property for $1.89 million, according to Wood County auditor records. Hanneman said he placed a bid on the property before it was determined what would come out of the space in order to expand his company’s parking lot, but soon realized the cost would be too expensive to

The Undergraduate Student Government met for the second time this summer on Monday night to go over their initiatives for the upcoming academic year. During President Alex Solis’s executive report, some of the initiatives the group plans to address are landscaping projects, the interactive Olscamp Hall classroom, Greek housing and the renovation delays to the new student recreation center. One of the biggest plans for USG is to revise the academic honesty policy, which hasn’t been revised in nine years. The group also has initiatives to address problems with the General Studies Writing program and the BG Perspectives program. The BG Perspectives initiative will determine what 20 classes will stay at the University and what 20 classes will be eliminated based on other benchmark schools. Another major plan USG has in store for the upcoming academic year is to oversee the construction of the new health center and how the Affordable Care Act will affect students who work at the University. The act prohibits students from working more than 28 hours a week, which may raise concern.

The new location for the CVS pharmacy met that criteria, he said.

CORRECTION POLICY
A correction has been made from the June 12, 2013 issue of The BG News. Chris Kingston is currently the executive senior director of athletics at North Carolina State University, not the director of athletics at North Carolina State University. The BG News apologizes for the inconvenience.
“We seek highly v isible and easily accessible sites for our new store locations,” DeAngelis said. “It is ver y common for our new stores to be placed at well-trafficked intersections.” At-Large City Council member Robert Mcomber said the city didn’t buy the property mainly because there wouldn’t be a proper reason to actually use the space. “The building was in very bad shape and there wasn’t anyone on council to come over
ing they only get a portion [of their pay].” Senior Dominic Flewellyn is currently taking an accounting class in order to
graduate on time. “I always wondered how teachers would get paid if the class they were assigned to teach didn’t have that many students,” Flewellyn said. “But I’m glad to know that the University has something in place that allows them to get paid, because they deserve it.” However, receiving extra pay in the summer isn’t the only reason why instructors choose to teach a course. “I think for some people they view the summer as a way to have slightly smaller classes that are a little more engaged because of the size of the class,” Fischer said. “Also, there’s a chance in the summer for some workshops for special topic classes that typically wouldn’t fit in the normal year, [like] classes involving travel.” Flewellyn agreed that the smaller classes in the summer allow him to be more engaged. “There’s only eight people in my class, so I have no choice [but] to pay attention,” Flewellyn said. “You never know when you can get called on to answer a question.” There are different requirements the University considers to determine which faculty member

in each college is the most qualified to teach a course of their choice. “In the college of Education and Human Development, [there is] a list of classes we think we’re going to offer,” Fischer said. “We see who’s interested and the vast majority of people who want to teach a class gets a chance to teach one.” Like students who are involved in summer courses, instructors may be on a similar boat. “For many faculty members the summer is a time when they are working on their writing and research as well,” Fischer said. “There are people who don’t want to teach in the summer.” Love said he believes some instructors should try to rest during the summer if they have the opportunity. “Some of the lecture classes have 150 students,” Love said. “I can completely understand if they just don’t want to teach for a few months.” Regardless of a break for both students and instructors, Fischer said summer courses are a great opportunity for both. “Giving students [the opportunity to take summer courses] to catch up is really important,” he said. “Students who are trying to get through their degree program faster than four years also [have this] great opportunity. It’s not required, but it’s certainly a good option for people.”

About a month ago, I woke up as usual and tuned in to Bloomberg News to find Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, testifying before Congress. Now, the first thing that came to mind was, “wow!” I never knew what Tim Cook looked like in a suit. This feeling was followed by confusion, as to why Apple was in Washington, D.C. to begin with. The reality behind the fact is Apple is being investigated over allegations of tax evasion, which most people know as bypassing U.S. corporate tax laws. The company has expanded its operations in Ireland which has boasted a 12.5 percent corporate tax rate unlike the U.S. 30 percent. To have their funds taxed at this lower rate, companies claim they have intellectual property overseas. Therefore, the money they pay only gets taxed by the country hosting this intellectual property and
will only be re-taxed if the funds are repatriated and brought back into the United States. Is this legal? Absolutely, and it’s been done for the past several years by big corporations including Google. None of this is new, and it until now nobody seemed to care. So, what’s the deal with picking on Apple? I personally feel bad for the company. The past 12 months have hit Apple hard as it faced growing competition in the smart phone market and witnessed its stock price getting cut nearly in half. iPhone profit margins have dropped from 44 percent to 38 percent and the company has lost 3 percent of its smart phone market share to Samsung. In truth, Apple is the last great American company that continues to innovate and people should remember this whenever they feel like scrutinizing the company. Now, I’m not against regulations in our corporate tax structure. Taxes serve a meaningful purpose, when applied and used efficiently, or in other words not
redistributed towards welfare. As we’ve learned from the 2008 crisis, regulations are necessary for all forms of businesses. Why do our politicians seem to focus so much energy on corporate tax reform? We have enough problems as it is. The last time I voted, I was more concerned over why stem cell research is still thought of as controversial, or why same sex marriage isn’t fully accepted. These are the leaps and bounds that will change our image worldwide, not our tax rate. Unfortunately, today’s political system seems to emphasize what’s in the interest of the politicians looking to get reelected. As a result many of us have lost faith in our own government’s lawmaking ability. Both parties have fallen under scrutiny and the only disappointment has been that neither of them has really been able to compromise. Since they’re already having fun with calculating interest and tax, I’d like to see our politicians deal with student
loans and the unnecessary interest rates that accommodate them. After all, as long as loopholes exist (which is forever) then every company will find a way to utilize them, which is perfectly legal. So why not focus on improving the lives of people who don’t have much choice, like the average 18 year old who looks to pursue a higher education but is held back by funding. I’m confident that the future for corporate America is bright regardless of tax laws. I can’t say the same for many Americans. Today’s world is global, and every industry is competitive. In order to win and come out ahead, businesses have to think outside of the box, and people have to be clever. We can’t do it alone. This nation is strengthened by its diversity and global reach. Only when united about our policies and values will we be able to make a difference in the world and leave a dent.

Detroit taking measures to ease trouble CASSIE SULLIVAN FORUM EDITOR
During my first semester at the University, I was told not to go into Detroit. It wasn’t safe; the city was in a downward spiral. It takes nearly an hour for the police to respond to a call, streetlights are down—it’s a mess. Of course, I did find myself alone in Detroit a few months later. My favorite band was playing a show in downtown Detroit and I had to go to this show— while the band was playing in Cleveland the next night, there was no way I could go to that show since I work late Saturdays, so I had to suck it up and go into Detroit. While the show was amazing, I enjoyed myself and felt relaxed for the first time in months, I had a nagging problem in the back of my mind—I was dropped off for the show, but I dropped my phone in the car and had no way of
ABBY WELSH, MANAGING EDITOR GEOFF BURNS, PULSE EDITOR KENDRA CLARK, WEB EDITOR STEVEN ECHARD, PHOTO EDITOR AMBER PETKOSEK, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR CASSIE SULLIVAN, FORUM EDITOR
contacting my ride back to the University. Luckily, they showed up a little after the show ended and we were on our way back to school. My visit could have gone worse, of course, but that was in the back of my mind. I wanted to see my favorite band live for the first time in two years, even though I knew the situation the city was in before I went there. I looked for signs of neglect, the lack of people, the lack of police, but was surprised at what I saw—there were police manning the street in front of the music hall, helping a man who had his car stolen during the show. In March, Detroit was appointed an emergency manager to help sort through sort through the problems Detroit is facing—abandoned and empty homes, foreclosures, cut public services, such as police, fire and trash pickup. The city is sinking— and fast. But now, Detroit is getting worse. In order to save the city, the emergency manger is planning to stop making payments on the debt
the city has in order to salvage what is left of the city. His plans include cutting pensions, which takes up a huge percentage of the city’s monthly budget and relocating it to take care of the public service, and eventually rebuilding the city and making it someplace to live. While there have been times when the situation in Detroit has looked like it’s not going to make it much longer, people are trying to keep the city alive. The same can be said about New Orleans in the years following Hurricane Katrina. Cities won’t be left to die, even though houses are being torn down for safety’s sake. The police force isn’t what it should be and even basic sanitation isn’t happening. Recovery isn’t easy; parts of New Orleans have been forgotten, but the city still survives. The people in the areas hit by hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters still push to rebuild and return to their lives. This is not just limited to natural disasters, in
the case of Detroit they’re working to save the city. While some of us know what it feels like seeing our lives disappear in the blink of an eye, it is good to know that there is the ability to regroup and regrow and history shows that again and again. Through financial crisis, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes— no matter what happens, the effort is put forth. Detroit might not be a bad city underneath all of the layers of the years of neglect and abuse, but the outer shell looks like it. Inside, the city is functioning for those visiting; making their days or evenings things to remember, even though the city struggles to keep everything running. Being inside the city, even with little exposure is different than hearing about what’s going on. Just be smart about what you do and don’t wander off the beaten path too much.

Trading for Keeps Grounds For Thought lets customers trade in items for credit By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor
Some people go to Grounds for Thought for a cup of coffee, but many don’t know the store lets customers trade books, DVD’s, used LP records and comic books. When Grounds for Thought opened in 1989, founders Sandy Wicks and her husband immediately began the trading.

Career, passion shouldn’t be a chore BRIDJET MENDYUK EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Since I was 12 years old, my walls have always been covered with pictures of my favorite bands I had ripped out of Alternative Press magazine. I would’ve never thought I’d be their intern one day. I used to sit in my room for hours cutting out images from the glossy pages of the newest issue so I could make collages of Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday and every other band the magazine featured that month. Now, I get to see bands I once could only see from afar walk through the office while I write about their latest tours. Looking back on walking into the AP office for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I was instant-

ly hit with the nostalgia of my adolescence. The moment you walk into the office, the walls are covered in framed issues starting with their first edition 28 years ago. I was even able to remember the very first issue I ever bought. It was then I realized I was living out my pre-teen dream. When I met the writers, who are also my bosses for the summer, it didn’t strike me until later when I thought, “Wow, I’ve been reading their articles for almost 10 years now.” It made me think about
“It made me think about what I really want to do with my life as a writer.” what I really want to do with my life as a writer. Here are all these former journalism students, just like me, who are doing what I’ve always wanted
to do. How can I aspire to be like them? Will I ever get to do what they do? After all these years, is music journalism still their passion? From what I’ve learned, music is the biggest part of these writers’ lives. When they’re not writing about these artists they’re talking to them as friends, supporting them at their shows, meeting up with them for dinner, listening to their music and most importantly, reaching out to their fans. My boss even had Andrew W.K. attend his wedding. While I might not have been an intern very long, I’ve come to realize more than the infamous goals of money and fame, I want to be able to call up my favorite band and grab a bite to eat with them before their show. I’ve always wanted to ask the writers what it was like for them when they first met their favorite art-

Downtown restaurant creates European culture Naslada Bistro owner brought business to Bowling Green from Bulgaria By Michelle Black Pulse Reporter
Food and a home atmosphere aren’t the only things customers will encounter at Boby Mitov’s restaurant downtown - they will also leave with some European knowledge. Naslada Bistro is a fullservice restaurant which first started as a small eatery at Woodland Mall in 2003. After moving to Bulgaria with his wife, it made him create a European experience for everyone to enjoy. His restaurant lets him show Ohioans another aspect of pure and delicious food, he said. “I want to educate people with some healthy food,” Mitov said. “I try to have flavor and a healthy meal.” He said he fell in love with the Bowling Green community which allows students
and faculty to have a taste of the European culture. “I try to give [customers] a different experience, [allowing them] to try something new and exciting,” Mitov said. The University is one reason why Mitov moved his business closer to the downtown area, he said. His wife received a job at the University, which made the move more convenient. The fast-paced college town containing fast food restaurants allowed him to create a family restaurant making people feel at home, he said. Since there were only a few family restaurants in town, he was able to seize the opportunity to create his own restaurant. “Ever y thing is made from scratch,” Mitov said. “I don’t know anything about pre-pack-

aged stuff, but raw ingredients are used to make your meal.” He said he supports local farmers and organic foods when cooking gourmet meals because of the great quality. He wants to instill the healthy habits in each customer that visits. “I support local farmers and whatever I buy is from local farmers markets,” Mitov said. “You are what you eat.” Trina Friedberg, cook, makes food when she is on duty. “He loves to know how everything’s made and how everything’s grown,” Friedberg said. “Boby’s outlook on food is that it is an experience.” Friedberg said that Mitov is a very particular cook.

GROUNDS From Page 5 we would stop at all these stores,” Wicks said. “One [of the stores] would be a bookstore and one would be a coffee shop. We would say they need to put these together and that’s how it happened.” Wicks said when she opened Grounds For Thought more than 25 years ago, there wasn’t a place for people to socialize downtown. “There wasn’t a place to meet and gather to have a donut,” she said. Aside from their coffee and pastry area near the front of the store, almost the rest of the shop has shelves, stands and crates full of books, records and comics. Customers can bring in used books to trade for book credit. After the books have been sorted and priced based on their condition as well as other factors, the amount of book credit is kept on an index card. Sandy’s son, Kelly Wicks is the co-owner of Grounds for Thought. He said there is somewhere between 500 and 1,000 people who have trade credit in the store. The credit they have never expires. “It’s not like if you bring in $20 worth of books you have to get $20 worth right then,” Kelly said. “We’ve had people who have been bringing in and taking out books for two decades, so it’s a running tab with these people.” Some of the books that are not put in the store are donated to church thrift stores. Some of the books are taken to the Wood County Detention
Center once a month. Wicks will sort through nearly 1,000 books a week and has found some interesting books throughout the years. “Some of the most unique are odd pop culture books that come in and they are from the 60s and 70s,” she said. “Some of my most [interesting books] are old vintage ones from the 1800’s. You’ll find little text and children’s books [too].” Kelly said it isn’t always the book that is the best find. “It’s often what we find in the books that can be interesting,” he said. “Pictures, note cards, dry flowers; all those kind of things that people use books for.” Kelly said when customers bring in comic books they will bring in many at a time, but it is rare they are extremely valuable. “We find comics that if they were in good shape they would be valuable, but are more of reading copies,” he said. Senior Natalie Swiecicki has previously done the trading, and said she would do it again. She said she thinks the reason some students don’t do the trading is because they don’t know it’s an option. “I’ve lived in Bowling Green my whole life so I know about it, if [students] knew about it they would,” she said. Kelly said the process is laid-back and gives the customer a wide variety of options on a smaller budget. “They can come in with a 20 dollar bill to shop and get a couple records, a few of books, get a comic and get a cup of coffee,” Kelly said. “They can leave with a handful and it’ll be very reasonable.”

He wants every dish to have the same European flavors so every customer has similar experiences no matter what the meal is. The restaurant’s main customers consist of faculty and staff due to some high prices. However, the bistro becomes more crowded when students dine with their dates, Friedberg said. “We get a ton of date nights,” Friedberg said. “It’s a really nice

meal and the price is just enough that it’s impressive but it’s not breaking the bank.” Even though students don’t always visit the restaurant, they are coming across it in different ways. Senior Liz Nahrstedt happened to stumble across the restaurant after searching for places to eat around town on her smartphone app. “I really don’t know or have heard a lot about it,” Nahrstedt said. “But I’m sure it’s a cool place.” While summer classes are still in session, Mitov said he would love to see more students stop by.
“We see more faculty members, which is great but I would love to see more students as well,” he said. Employee Austin Nickle explained why students should visit and continue to come back. “It’s quick and convenient and we have a unique blend [for food],” Nickle said. “We also have great panini’s.” Nickle said that he hates going to fast food restaurants to overpay for food, when students can dine at the restaurant and eat great quality food. “The variety of options is unlike anywhere else around campus,” Friedberg said.
an obligation as much as it is a hobby. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Like all professions, the ultimate goal is to be happy with what you’re doing whether it’s being a doctor, an accountant, a scientist or an athlete. Doing what you love shouldn’t be a chore. I would’ve never thought my nose bleed section resume out of the hundreds of applicants would be the one
of two sitting in the front row. While I do complain about school work, having two jobs in different cities and scrambling to find my head, I wouldn’t trade it for anything because it’s what I love doing. If you’re pursuing something you’re passionate about, if you look forward to doing it all over again the next day, then you’re doing something right.

University sophomore ranked 7th nationally in NCAA Tournament
By Dan Kotnik Sports Reporter
As the year of collegiate sports winds down and drifts into summer, one Falcon athlete gave the University one more thing to cheer about. Brooke Pleger, a redshirt sophomore hammer thrower on the Falcon track team, finished her successful season with a trip the NCAA championships. “It was really exciting to get the opportunity this year to go and compete for BG,” Pleger said. “I think as a program we’re trying to get moving in a direction where we’re moving forward each year. I think getting to the NCAAs showed that we’re [moving forward].” Pleger started her season on the right foot with a first-place finish at the EMU Holiday Eagle Meet with a personal best throw of 193 feet. The record wouldn’t last long as she would throw a distance of 200 feet to win the Simmons-Harvey PHOTO PROVIDED Invitational. She continued UNIVERSITY ATHELETE: Brooke Pleger (middle) is the first university athlete in to outdo herself following the outdoor track and field to participate in the NCAA Championship since 2005 the invitational at the GVSU
Big Meet with a throw of 203 feet. “She exceeded expectations this year,” Head Coach Lou Snelling said. “The fact that she can go through her first whole year, be as successful as she was and handle it all the way she did was extremely impressive.” At the MAC championships, Pleger continued to succeed. She broke the MAC Championship record for the hammer throw with a distance of 216 feet to win the event. In the NCAA East Region Preliminary, Pleger became the first University athlete to win her event at the regional championship with a throw of 210 feet, qualifying her for the NCAA National Championship. “It was a really nice step forward for our program to be represented at the national level again through Brooke,” Assistant Coach Matthew Conly said. “The visibility that comes with that means a great deal to our program. We had a tremendous ambassador in Brooke and the season that she had.” The NCAA Track and Field
New Director of Athletics appointed Starting July 15, Chris Kingston will be the new director of athletics By Zach Knapp Senior Reporter
Chris Kingston
New director of athletics Chris K ingston has been announced as the new at hletics director at the University. Kingston signed a fiveyear contract with a base salary of $245,000 per year. He will actively start as the athletic director on July 15. The decision to hire Kingston came after Greg Christopher, former athletics director,resigned from the position and accepted a job as the athletics director for X a v ier Un i v er s it y. During a press conference on June 10, President Mar y Ellen Mazey made it clear why Kingston was the right person for the job. “Chris Kingston is a results oriented senior leader with experience in both operational, strategic planning, analysis and execution,” Mazey said. “He knows how to develop innovative solutions to complex problems. He has a proven ability to organize, motivate, team building a diverse
workforce to achieve high expectations under challenging conditions.” Prior to taking the position as athletic director, Kingston worked as North Carolina State Universit y’s executive senior associate director of athletics. He spent four years as the associate director of athletics for operations. He was also the special assistant to the director of athletic/director of annual giving for the U.S. Military Academy. Kingston ser ved in the U.S. Army’s Military I ntel l igenc e C or p s as a second lieutenant until his retirement in 2009, according to a press release from the official website of Bowling Green Athletics. It was not Kingston’s past, but ultimately his future plans at the University that impressed the University’s search committee responsible for choosing him for the position, Sheri Stoll, chief financial officer for the University, said. “He came in to meet with the search committee extremely prepared and he clearly did exhaustive research on [the University],” Stoll said. “We were all impressed by his interest and enthu-
“I can tell you from experience, it is a formula that works” Chris Kingston | Director of Athletics siasm for the University.” Increasing fundraising will have to be a priority for Kingston, Jason Knavel, assistant athletics director for athletic communications, said. “Our budget for athletics is in the bottom third of the MAC,” Knavel said. “We need new streams of revenue and increase current sources of revenue.” Budget concerns were addressed by Kingston at the press conference. “Specifically in athletics, our goal will be to reach the average operating budget in the MidAmerican Conference,” Kingston said. “Given our high caliber student athletes, our facilities, our quality staff and coaches and our geographical location in the MAC, we will over achieve by reaching the average operating budget in the MAC.” Making use of existing
and new partnerships is key to increasing the budget, Kingston said. “I can tell you from experience, it is a formu la t hat work s,’ K ingston sa id. The University’s athletics program had an overall successful year, despite the low budget. 14 of the 18 teams improved or finished in the same place as last year in the MAC conference standings in the 2013-2014 season. Seven teams were placed in the top half of the league sta nd i ngs a nd t wo teams (volleyba ll and baseball) won the MAC tournament, according to a press release from the official website of Bowling Green Athletics. Capita li zing on a at h let ic depa r t ment w ith potential inf luenced Kingston’s decision to take the job. “There are bad jobs out there,” Kingston said. “There are places that don’t have money and are not going to get money-and have no way of getting money. There are places that do not have facilities and have no shot of getting facilities. I am going to tell you, that is not the case here. We are cresting the hill here at [the University].”
National Championships were held in Eugene, Oregon, from June 5-8. Pleger was joined by fellow MAC throwers, Akron’s Brittany Funk, who was seeded eighth, and Buffalo’s Shant’e White who was seeded 19th. Going into the Championships, only one competitor in the field of 24 had out thrown Pleger, UCLA’s Ida Storm at the Mt. SAC Relays. “It was incredible there, the amount of talent was insane,” Pleger said. “It was such a cool experience being around the best of the best in Division I track and field.” Pleger entered the Championships ranked as the seventh seed. However, Pleger failed to repeat the same type of dominant throws she produced earlier in the season. Her best throw at the championship, 209 feet, was her lowest of the season. “I was struggling to find feeling with the ball and I wasn’t really able to connect with any of my throws,” Pleger said. “I am a very technical thrower, and I
rely heavily on entering the ball well. Unfortunately, on the day of the competition I was struggling to get my entry right.” Conly said it has been a long season and it’s unrealistic to expect someone to throw extremely far every weekend. “It’s a very long season and only a handful of girls are able to keep their training together for that long of a period of time,” Conly said. Pleger’s throw of 209 feet, her lowest of the season, was good enough to keep her in seventh place at the end of the competition. By doing so, Pleger was able to earn herself the high honor of First Team All-American, making her one of the best hammer throwers in the country. “As a program, it’s huge for us to have someone like Brooke,” Snelling said. “We know she’s going to set the bar pretty high for herself already, so we just expect her to keep getting better and see how far she can take it next year.”

HARSHMAN From Page 1 Instead, Residence Life announced plans for the 2013-2014 academic year to house approximately 600 residents in Anderson and Bromfield, two of four sections of Harshman. A third section, Chapman, will reopen from the 2014-2016 academic years to accommodate the number of Greek students whose housing will be demolished as part of the Greek Village project. Waters said she does not know where the Greek students will be housed during the interim period, but she does know Harshman will remain open to accommodate for the numbers. “It’s likely some of their housing will be there, but not all of it,” she said. “This September, we will let the
Greek chapters all know where their interim housing will be.” While school officials work behind the scenes to figure out bed counts and future office space, some incoming Harshman residents are focused on their experiences rather than their housing. Freshman Chey Moore said she is more afraid of making friends and being in a new environment than troubles with her housing situation. “I was basically assigned to live there, but it doesn’t bother me,” Moore said. Harshman is often used to compensate for demand, but Residence Life knows it cannot rely on the building forever. Current drawings and various plans for the campus layout in the near future show Harshman being demolished, Waters said. “The goal is to figure out
an exit strategy,” Waters said. “Where do we house the 600 students if those plans do exist?” The window for demolishing Harshman is the next three to five years, said Waters. The strategy gets complicated because Harshman is home to more than just dorm rooms. Aside from dorm rooms the Admissions Systems, the Honors Program Office and Student Enrollment Communication Center are housed in Harshman. “Those offices will need to be relocated,” Waters said. Incoming freshman Samantha Black is excited for the new school year, but she isn’t nervous about the demolition. “I can’t wait [for the upcoming semester],” Black said. “I’m mostly just anxious and ready for the next chapter of my life.”
