TUITION RISES 2 PERCENT, SMOKING BAN IN 2014 By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor
At Friday’s Board of Trustees meeting the board approved a raise on tuition for the 2013-2014 academic year. A 2 percent raise was approved for both the main campus and the Firelands Campus. Main campus full time in-state undergraduate students tuiton will increase $7.60 per credit hour, a
Sherri Stoll
Chief Financial Officer $91.20 increase in tuition each semester, said Sherri Stoll, the Chief Financial Officer. Firelands students tuiton will increase $3.85 per credit hour, an increase of $46.20 per semester for a
full time student. Out of state students and graduate students will not have a tuition increase, Stoll said. Students in the Community College of the Air Force and in the UT-MUO nursing program will not have an increase in tuition, she said. All students will receive a $15 increase in general fees for main campus, which is a $1.25 increase per credit hour for a full time student. Firelands students general fees
will increase $2.40, a $.20 per credit hour increase for a full time student. The board approved the infrastructure engineering renovations to take place inside Mosley Hall, South Hall, Hanna hall and University Hall. Some of the infrastructures currently in the buildings by current codes “do not exist,” Stoll said. Before approving it the board discussed if it was worth the money to attempt to save the buildings. David Levey, a member of the
board said that the buildings are truly what make the University. “This is the heart and soul of the school, ground zero, the greatest buildings we have,” he said. “I don’t know how you quantify it,” said Betty Montgomery a member of the board. “It’s like putting a price on your first born to your last born.” Seeing students smoking on cam-

Sociology department recieves grant for research Sociology department receives $417,000 in grant money towards research By Michelle Black Reporter
A few sociology instructors and students have their head in the books as they research the effects diverse neighborhoods have on individuals Associate after receiving a grant in May. Proffesor Earning funding has one sociology instructor ready to put his expertise to the test. Raymond R. Swisher, an associate professor in the sociology department, was excited to finally receive a grant after trying to receive funding for a while. “Being persistent and pursuing the funding paid off,” Swisher said. “We had been working on getting the funding for several years.” The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (EKSNICHHD) provided the department with $417,000 to help further its research efforts. Since the department has funding currently, Swisher has been working with his co-workers Danielle C. Kuhl and Jorge Mario Chavez to continue researching a topic that intrigues them all. “It’s a topic that crossed all of our interest in sociology,” Swisher said. “My colleagues and I are also interested in criminology, studying how an individual’s crime changes over their life course.” Research being conducted will deal with the consequences families and children may endure while growing up in violent or poor disadvantaged neighborhoods. It will include following individuals from their adolescents to their adulthood to analyze if they get involved in criminal acts. “Our research project is bringing those two areas of sociology together,” Swisher said. “One [side is] studying neighborhood disadvantages and the other looking at crime over the life course.” Danielle Kuhl, assistant professor in the sociology department, agreed that the grant would help combine the two topics. “They tend to be separate lines of research and what we want to do with this grant is we want to bring them together,” Kuhl said. “There’s a lot of separate research out there that looks at neighborhood and crime or life course transitions and this will allow us to combine and integrate the two.” The instructors won’t be the only ones conducting research. Students will be engaging in the research as well by developing their own questions and topics that interest them. The grant given by the EKSNICHHD helps encourage universities to expose undergraduate students to the research process. “Traditionally we might involve our graduate students, but this helps us to involve our undergraduate students,” Swisher said. Two undergraduate sociology students will be hired to work on the project throughout the academic year. Graduate students will help as well. “The graduate and student involvement is a big thing, it was a key part of the grant,” Kuhl said. “It’s really important for undergraduates to start getting experience with research before they leave.” Kuhl said that the grant will help the University be seen as a respectable college that can conduct research and provide opportunities for its students. “It means a lot for the University,” Kuhl said.

DANIEL GORDON in 2011 (left) before his election for City Council and in 2013 (right) giving a speech.
STRIVING By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
Back in 2011, Daniel Gordon was a senior at the University when he made a decision he felt would help bring some balance to the way Bowling Green’s city government represented the interests of students. He ran for a seat on city council. More specifically, he ran for the First Ward council seat, which encompasses the northeast area of Bowling Green, including the University campus. As he approaches the middle of his second year on council, Gordon has announced he will be seeking reelection in the fall. However, he is only able to run for reelection thanks to countless hours of door-to-door campaigning that helped get him into office in the first place.

SUCCESS
In 2011, Gordon was serving as an at-large senator in the Undergraduate Student Government at the University when he received an email from the Wood County Democratic Party. Danielle McConnell had resigned from her position in the party, leaving an opening to run against Republican incumbent Mark Hollenbaugh. Gordon liked that the party was looking for a student to run for the seat and decided to give it a shot. “I really appreciated that they were looking for a student to run,” Gordon said. “We make up almost half of the population of [the city], and we didn’t have single student on council. Yet, council is supposed to represent the students of the University, so I thought that hopefully I could pull it off and we could have a student on council; I felt that [having a student on council] was very important.” Heading into his camSee GORDON | Page 8

The designated smoke areas will be located in the parking lots on campus. Carr said this will keep the University smoke-free but “give people the personal decision to smoke.” The plan will begin to be implemented for the fall 2013 semester, and it will become an official rule on January 1, 2014.

smoke-free rule. “There is no nicotine or carcinogens so they are not considered a part of this policy,” Carr said. Carr said one of the ways that the ban will be enforced is going to be community involvement. “If I walked outside and saw you smoking, I would go up to you and say ‘hey we have a new policy.’” she said. Carr said she is happy that the hard work everyone put into the project paid off. “We worked very hard and I feel very good,” she said.

STAFF EDITORIAL | UNIVERSITY SPENDING
Administration should explain tuition increase to students, building projects With the recent two percent rise in tuition approved by the Board of Trustees, some students might not understand where the money is going and what it means as far as how their tuition money is being spent. As students read their email from President Mary Ellen Mazey about the two percent increase in tuition, they should keep in mind what this could mean for not only current students but future students of the University. With the new look campus is incorporating with buildings such as Centennial Hall, Falcon Heights, The Oaks, Carillon Place and the new Health Center, it seems like the University is heading in the right
direction as far as creating a more appealing impression for prospective students. Many of the reconstruction and renovation projects will hopefully raise retention as opposed to current buildings with small corridors. Yet, one thing The BG News has noticed is the lack of attention towards the history of these University buildings. While the infrastructure of these buildings, such as Hanna Hall, will remain the same, the “gutting” or renovations of the inside could cause the history of the building to be diminished. The demolition of the Popular Culture building caused an uproar with some
Death can help us appreciate life, live to the fullest CHANCE STOODT COLUMNIST
As the age-old cliché goes, “life is too short.” And like most clichés, I have often disregarded it. It has long seemed to me that fussing over death was largely a waste of time, an act of futility. Despite my callous views on what happens (or doesn’t happen) after death, I was knocked off of my ivory tower when I learned of the death of someone close to me earlier this month. Since that moment, I’ve had to reflect more on what is important in life. The meaning of life is a question so profound that it occurs most to philosophers and yet so fundamental and simple that it also occurs most in children. The fact of the matter is that our time on earth is limited. Why shouldn’t we enjoy it? It seems that most people flow through life only appeasing others, living through their
friends on Facebook rather than experiencing first-hand what life truly has to offer. In her book, “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying”, Bronnie Ware outlines what her patients commonly express while lying on their deathbed. The number one regret comes at no surprise: I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. We ought to view our
“ ...we have very limited time to fulfill our dreams, accomplish our goals, and experience a limitless world around us. ” health as a freedom that can be lost at any time, and one we can’t appreciate often enough. Ware adds that many individuals ref lect on the goals they set for themselves
and the fact that they may never again have the opportunity to achieve them. Their dreams are ultimately left unfulfilled. Other reasons circle around the notion of happiness. “I wish that I had let myself be happier,” one reads. Ware notes that her patients often realize that happiness is a choice; one can be happy if they simply choose to be. I know I’ve personally spent far too much of my life worrying about the miniscule events in my life that probably won’t bear any real significance down the road. Life’s limit on time is what grants it value. Relatively speaking, we have very limited time to fulfill our dreams, accomplish our goals, and experience a limitless world around us. Appreciate your health and recognize it for the freedom it is because you don’t want to reflect on your life at the end only to realize you’ve lived with regrets.

faculty members, students and most of all, alumni who were in the program. Future students will know nothing about the history of the former building as the new Health Center will be in its place. The demolition was scheduled 12 hours after the announcement. The BG News believes above all that students have the right to know where all of this planning, cutting, fixing, building, and raising fees is coming from, and in a timely manner. With the faculty cuts, tuition increased and demolition of buildings on campus in the past academic year, we believe the University should consider maximizing
its efforts to explain where the money for these projects are coming from. In times where the University is raising its tuition and overall fees to attend Bowling Green, coupled with faculty cuts, outsourcing and renovations it is crucial for administration to go above and beyond in explaining to students how these budgets are put together. It is just as important for students to have a greater hunger to seek out this information.

Summer lets students relax, focus on educational hobbies CASSIE SULLIVAN FORUM EDITOR
By this point in the summer I have usually developed my daily habits to fit my schedule when I’m not working or going out to do various activities with my family and friends. What I do is something I really can’t do during the school year. Well, I could, but then I’m plagued by guilt for not using my time to finish homework or papers that seem to chase me throughout the semester. I get one assignment done just to be plagued by another assignment. Then sometimes, I have two papers going on at the same time. But during the summer, I can read fiction novels and write. These two activities I don’t have time to do during the school year—time just doesn’t allow it. I could take time out of my day to do either activity, but it’s hard to when the length of a reading is 100 pages or I have to type 1,000 words; it can take anywhere from an hour to a whole evening, which I can do at home. Summertime also allows me to catch up on books that have been published during the school year that I did not take time out to read. While one or two new novels were a must read the week they came out, others were not. I didn’t know about their
“To me, it’s a lot like Christmas, since you have no idea what you’re about to read.” releases or I wasn’t willing to buy the books when I know I could get these books for free. I also have time to go back and pick up books that I haven’t been able to get since they came out. The libraries near home didn’t order the book I wanted physically or digitally. But a year later, I have the book checked out and ready to read. Also to diversify what I’m reading besides picking books up off the shelf, my local library has blind dates with books, which allows you to pick up a book that’s wrapped up in brown paper. You check it out and then open it to see what you picked up. To me, it’s a lot like Christmas, since you have no idea what you’re about to read. Much like reading, writing also took a backseat to school work and working. When I’m bored or when I want something to do that puts my mind and imagination to work, I write what I would like to read. I know no matter what, writing is writing. I write papers for class and I write columns for the newspaper, but creative writing is something special. My dreams don’t get read unless I want them to be read, I can break all of the conventional rules if I want. I’m not judged unless I want to be.
Creative writing is my own. I can spend my evenings crafting the best 1,000 words I want, to the point where over the past month I conceived a 25,000 word story that hasn’t even met the middle yet. But it is close to starting the journey to the high end of the plot. I don’t have to rush it unless I want to and I don’t have to keep it within a word limit. This project makes up for what I missed in November. Every November, National Novel Writing Month starts. With my schedule and unwillingness to put aside everything else to work on, I skipped NaNoWriMo and the challenge of 50,000 words in 30 days. I didn’t have the strength. Now that I do, I am writing to my heart’s content. But I’m doing it now. I’m also more willing to watch a little television (but not a lot). I’m going to start researching the language I’m taking in the fall, vegetarianism and schools in England for my future. I’m also going to be writing my columns. If you’re at home and not doing much to stimulate yourself over the summer, read a book or open a Word document. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find.

The Falcon football team became bone marrow donors through the “Be The Match” program, which could potentially save lives. By Lindsay Gebhart Sports Reporter
Members of the University football team were recently given the opportunity to become potential bone marrow donors, and almost all agreed to sign up. The donation program, called “Be The Match” is the world’s largest listing of potential bone marrow donors. Thousands of college football players across the country have been recruited in the past few weeks through the program “Get in the Game. Save a Life.” The program is aimed to increase the ranks of potential donors on the Be The Match registry. Head football coach David Clawson said that he has been a part of the program for many years. Clawson worked as the assistant coach at Villanova University, where the program originated. Villanova head coach Andy Talley started encouraging his players to join the registry 15 years ago. Clawson has continued the tradition here at the University.

Football Head Coach “A lot of college football programs across the country do it and we adopted it here a few years ago,” Clawson said. The Bowling Green football program has had the largest “Be The Match: Get in the Game” program in the state of Ohio for the last three years. “Our players really do a lot for the program,” Clawson said. “It’s been a really successful program for us. The players have been amazing with it, very few people turned it down.” Donating bone marrow can save the lives of people with certain cancers and blood diseases, according to the Be The Match website. Seventy percent of people in need of a transplant do not have a donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match registry to find a match to save their life. UniversityfootballplayerStephen
Stein said that when his coach suggested the team join the registry, he was behind him 100 percent. “After hearing the story about the wrestler from New Hampshire who gave up his career to save someone, I knew I would be willing to do the same” Stein said. “Saving a life would be more memorable than playing football, in my opinion.” According to the Be The Match website, stem cells in blood are vital to patients. Stem cells in the bone marrow are the building blocks of blood. The red and white cells as well as the platelets, are all produced by the stem cells within the bone marrow. After joining a donor registry such as Be The Match, it can often be weeks, months or years before a donor is contacted with a match. Some people may change their mind during this time and drop out of the procedure. Football player Coy Brown says he would still be willing to go through with it. “I would be willing to follow through with the procedure and potentially save another individual’s life,” he said. “I am a caring

I wanted to become a donor not just because of my coach, but because I knew by simply signing up I was making a difference in someone’s life.” A Bone marrow donation is a surgical procedure. The doctor uses a hollow needle to withdraw the liquid marrow from the back of the pelvic bone(s). Many donors then receive a transfusion of their own blood, after some of the necessary stem cells have been removed. The patient sometimes feels soreness in the lower back for a few days, but the marrow is completely replen-
NCAA should consider stipend for athletes, might help minor expenses By Dan Kotnik Sports Columnist
When the NCAA was founded in 1906, the goal was to protect student athletes and the amateurism of collegiate athletics. Today, the NCAA has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry that spends much of its time policing universities on the NCAA’s tired policies concerning recruiting and benefits to players. The NCAA has always maintained that the amount of a full ride to a university is compensation enough and persecutes those who violate this idea to the point of ridiculousness. How else can you describe the practice of a governing body that punishes a university for offering bagels with cream cheese to visiting athletes or student athletes for using a hose connected to University water to wash their car? Those are both real cases, by the way. Amidst poorly handled investigations, many in collegiate athletics and the public alike are beginning to question the NCAA’s power as college athletics’ governing body, and maybe that’s not a bad thing. Change is good. As Deadspin
writer Dom Cosentino wrote in an article this week, “The NCAA’s rules only exist to perpetuate the lie of student-athlete ‘amateurism.’Instead, the NCAA ‘enforces’ its rules to justify its own existence, to show that it’s doing something about the problems its rules support.” While the NCAA continues its mission to protect the precious sanctity of the amateurism of college athletes, it has had no issue with its member universities and the organization itself making money off what these athletes do. Whether it’s from massive television deals (the Big Ten Network is worth $284 million), merchandising rights or selling the rights of the player’s likeness for a video game, the NCAA and its members bring in ridiculous amounts of money. In 2011-2012, the NCAA had a revenue of $871.6 million. That means after paying the salaries of 400+ employees, including President Mark Emmert’s $1.6 million salary, they have $871.6 million that go to their members. But not one penny of that goes to the people who are actually responsible for making it happen. That’s where a man named Ed O’Bannon comes in. O’Bannon,
“The NCAA’s rules only exist to perpetuate the lie of student-athlete ‘amateurism.’” Dom Cosentino | Deadspin writer a former All-American basketball star at UCLA, is heading a groundbreaking anti-trust lawsuit against the NCAA and its partner organizations. O’Bannon, after seeing his likeness being used in a NCAA basketball game without his permission, realized people were still making money off of him and what he did in college. Yet he, along with thousands of other studentathletes, seemed to be the only ones NOT making money off their accomplishments in college. The suit, which has had notable names added to the plaintiff list, including basketball legends Oscar Robertson and Bill Russell, aims to seek damages from the NCAA. However, pending a class action hearing scheduled for June 20th, all former and current Division I athletes could be added to this list of plaintiffs. That means everyone
from Joe Montana and Braxton Miller to Freddie Barns and Matt Schiltz from here at Bowling Green would receive damage payments from the NCAA and those who have made money off their likeness, including video game maker EA Sports and sports program ESPN. If O’Bannon is successful, he proposes that all former athletes be paid now, while current athletes would have their funds put in a trust fund they could access after they graduate. Many say that paying college athletes would promote the stigma that they are different from other students at their university. But that is exactly the point: they are the same and, therefore, should be treated the same as other students. Any other student can use their God-given talent to make money for themselves while they are enrolled at school because there is no overseeing body that looks to make a profit off them. Our student athletes bring money and attention to our universities. They put in more time, heart, blood and tears into what they do than some students put into their course work, while still having to maintain the NCAA GPA requirements at the same time. Why deny them even just a little compensation for what they do?
ished by the body within 4 to 6 weeks. Since the process itself is an outpatient procedure, the donor can return home the same day. Fellow player Ronnie Goble was contacted by the Be The Match program two years ago with a match. After donating more blood samples, it turned out he was not a perfect match. However, he says he would be willing to do it again. “I would want to be a donor because of the opportunity to help someone and [suffer] for them,” Goble said. Some of the football players said the process of becoming a donor was quick and easy. They were asked to fill out a packet and were instructed to use cotton swabs to collect cheek cells from the mouth. These cells are the ones used to find matches with those people in need of bone marrow. After giving cell samples, the participant is placed on the list for future contact if a match is made. “The bone marrow drive was a fun experience and focused on an important task, which is helping others,” Brown said.

New Google Glass causes concerns, controversy By Tyler Wicker Pulse Reporter
Google’s new augmented reality device is already causing controversy, despite not yet being released to the general public. The device, called Google Glass, is a pair of glasses that acts as a smart phone. According to Google, the Glass can find directions, search for information, translate sentences into different languages and even give flight times and locations, all at the sound of the user’s voice. The feature of the Glass, which is causing the most controversy, is the device’s ability to record video and take photos without anyone but the user knowing. The Glass has already been banned in many casinos, strip clubs and movie theaters because of its video and photo features. Many people are worried about privacy issues that could come with the features. Jerry Schnepp, assistant professor in the department of visual communication technology, said he thinks the concerns are justified. “We are talking about a device that allows you to take photos without anybody knowing,” Schnepp said. “I love to go to concerts and they always try to stop people from taking pictures, but now that all cell phones have cameras, it’s almost impossible.” Schnepp said the Glass will make it even more difficult to control camera use in places where they’re not welcome. Sophomore Ariel Burnett said she thinks we sacrificed privacy for more advanced technology. The laws need to stay updated to accommodate for the advancing technology, she said. “Institutionally we should be trying to keep up with advances so that it’s harder to violate privacy,” Burnett said. Another problem that is creating controversy with the Google Glass is the idea that humans are becoming too dependent on technology. Schnepp said he thinks this is already a problem. “People already totally rely on their GPS,” Schnepp said. “I ride my bike

“I don’t think the science-fiction future from the movies could be that far off.”
Jerry Schnepp | Assistant Professor Senior Kyla Wireman said it’s great how accessible the Glass is. “The Glass has everything we need in technology,” Wireman said. “It’s expensive, but it’s worth it.” Wireman said she agreed that society is too dependent on anything Internet-based, but that the benefits outweigh the consequences. She likes the idea of using the Glass for social media purposes. Technology enthusiasts will only have to wait until the fall of this year to get their hands on the Glass. As for the future of augmented reality devices like the Glass, Schnepp said he expects big things. “I don’t think the science-fiction future from the movies could be that far off,” Schnepp said. “It’s amazing to think there is more computing power in the little Glass than there was in the first rocket to the moon. Technology is getting more complex fast.”

“MAN OF STEEL”
“WORLD WAR Z”

By Brian Klueter Pulse Critic
“Man of Steel,” the new Superman reboot, was released in theaters on June 14. Henry Cavill plays Clark Kent/Superman, who as a baby was sent to Earth by his biological parents on the dying planet Krypton. After landing on Earth, his foster parents keep him a secret from the world, knowing that humanity wasn’t ready and would act negatively towards him. General Zod, played by Michael Shannon, was imprisoned prior to Krypton’s demise, only to be released by its destruction. He seeks the codex that was sent away with Superman that holds all of Krypton’s history. When Zod tracks the codex to Earth, he intends to create a new Krypton on Earth, which would destroy humanity in the process.

Despite the difficulties, Google Glass does have some people excited for its benefits. Recently, a surgeon performed the first surgery with the device, recording the operation and streaming it to an iPad in the same room. Schnepp said that it could be beneficial to see how to do something through the eyes of the person demonstrating it. “You can already use YouTube to learn how to do almost anything,” Schnepp said. “The same concept can be applied to the Glass.”

This causes the conflict between Superman and Zod, setting up the main storyline for the film. Director Zach Snyde is known for films such as “300,” “Watchmen,” “Sucker Punch” and “Dawn of the Dead.” It’s produced, in part, by Christopher Nolan, who many know as the man behind “The Dark Knight” trilogy. “Man of Steel” features an all-star cast which includes Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane and Lawrence Fishburne. Some moviegoers will be disappointed in the low amount of romance in the film, which concentrates more on the action and alien storyline as opposed to the relationship between Superman and Lois Lane, played by Amy Adams. The ending is controversial in that Superman is forced to make a choice outside

We’ve heard the phrase “never a dull moment” hundreds of times. It’s a silly one to describe films because even “The Godfather” has its quiet times. Still, some movies like get pretty dang close. “World War Z” is one of them. “World War Z” strikes an entertaining chord between action, adventure and medical drama. A cooler-than-real-life United Nations calls back a retired Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) to help save the world from a zombie-like pandemic. Yes, the premise sounds like something we’ve seen a lot in films such as “Contagion,” “I Am Legend” and “28 Days Later” and on television like “The Walking Dead.” But zombie takeover
projects depend not on their overused premise but on their execution. “World War Z” draws together the best aspects of past zombie films and TV shows. Stealing from the character-driven book series of the same name, the film moves through characters at a rapid rate. We meet a motley crew of people who are working together to salvage the world from zombie domination in somewhat predictable, yet extremely fun circumstances. What’s most impressive about the cast is that the characters are mixed, yet somehow avoid being a hunky-dory allegory for how the world needs to work together. Sure, that theme is there, but it’s not roll-your-eyes obnoxious.

To me, music
like that may be catchy, but it’s generic. I understand that people want music they can party to. And what is interesting about Twenty | One | Pilots is their music covers this aspect. Their music can either be chill or suitable for a more upbeat atmosphere. In addition to their actual music, their videos are interesting as well. They too make you think about the underlying meaning. Their videos are a form of art as opposed to some videos that just show a bunch of half naked girls running around dancing.
“They’re a modest band and always show they know where it is they’ve come from.” Twenty | One | Pilots is different from any other group I have ever listened to or seen perform live. They’re more interested in making music they love and that urges people to think for themselves than making music to become ridiculously rich and popular. They’re a modest band
and always show they know where it is they’ve come from. They are true to their music and their fans. I attended many concerts and I have not seen more adoration for one’s fans and passion for playing and creating music than I have seen at a Twenty | One | Pilots show. One can connect with their lyrics and really feel the message they are trying to get across. It’s truly an enjoyable experience to listen to and watch them perform. I think today, too many artists are caught up in making music that the majority of people will like. However, this should not be the purpose of creating music. One should not make something just to please the masses. This leads to everything becoming meaningless and redundant. I feel that Twenty | One | Pilots have started a revolution in music and have gone beyond the general standards of the industry to create a sound that is unique and personally uplifting. They, and other bands like them, are changing the face of music and how we perceive it and will continue to grow in the future.

STEEL From Page 6 of his normal character, potentially upsetting many fans. “Man of Steel” is DC’s first film in its planned cinematic universe, with a “Man of Steel 2” being fasttracked for a potential 2014 release.
University and high school students can relate to the goings on in the new movie “Porking Mandy.” The film was written and directed by Bowling Green high school graduate, Jeremy Cordy, and was filmed at his grandparent’s barn in Grand Rapids. Cordy said the film came about out of desperation and being in the right place at the right time. “I made it up on the spot and wrote the script in two weeks,” said Cordy. The film centers around Mandy Rogers, who gets dumped by her boyfriend the day of prom. Rather than facing the humiliation of going to prom stag, she announces she will be attending the anti-prom party. When the boys of Bobcat High catch wind of the news they all attend the party in hopes that they will be the one that

gets with the newly single Mandy Rogers. A lu m nu s Dylan Stretchberry plays Roy who is your average high school jock. He, along with every other male at Bobcat High, wants to “pork” Mandy. “The film is a comedy,” Stretchberry said. “I would relate it to ‘American Pie’ for its over-the-top high school humor.” Jane Davenport, who plays Mandy’s awkward friend Ashley, said the film strays from who is getting with Mandy and allows the audience to get to know and relate to the other characters. “Viewers can expect some outrageous festivities,” Davenport said. “Some they can relate to, some they never thought they’d see.” University senior Justin Betancourt, who plays Chubby in the film, said the movie includes a wide range of character personalities. “You’ll see a magician, a
clown, a nerd and a jock,” Betancourt said. “All the high school clichés are represented and some you wouldn’t expect.” Betancourt said a surprise ending on who gets with Mandy is in store for the audience. The film has a surprise ending that will catch viewers off guard, he said. “I don’t want to say too much, but it is something you’d never expect,” Betancourt said. Cordy plans to enter the film in festivals like Sundance, Davenport said. The movie is set to premier on June 27 at 7 p.m. at the Maumee Indoor Theatre. Presale tickets for the premier can be ordered online or purchased at Grounds For Thought for $8 or at the door for $10. “I hope people are going to want to laugh,“ Cordy said. “I just want people to have a good time with this movie.”
Director Marc Forster (“The Kite Runner,” “Quantum of Solace”) does a phenomenal job with this thrill ride. The script has its overdramatic moments like when Lane and his family find refuge in a Spanish-speaking family’s house, and he tries to speak “en español,” but with Forster’s direction, you can quickly forget those odd lines. Forster was working with a $190 million bud-
get and several rewrites. Though big budgets are nice, they mean incredibly detailed and blocked scenes. “World War Z” is a marvel when it comes to its production value. Every scene is produced to its maximum capacity. I highly doubt “World War Z” will generate much Oscar buzz because of its imperfect script, but who cares? It’s intense, driving and movie escapism at its finest.
It will face competition in the superhero movie market, competing with Disney’s Marvel films, Fox’s “X-Men” films, and Sony’s “SpiderMan” films. While not the best superhero film of all time, or even the summer, the action, special effects and all-star cast make this reboot one of the best, if not the best Superman movies made to date.

GORDON From Page 1 paign, Gordon said the best advice he received was to be realistic: he was facing an uphill battle. “I had to go up against an incumbent Republican who was much older than me and was well-liked,” Gordon said. “That wasn’t easy. It kept me grounded to assume that I was behind.” In the lead up to election night, Gordon said he was anxious. “I didn’t know what was going to happen, if I was going to win or lose,” Gordon said. “So when Election Day came, I just tried to make the most of it.” Gordon ended up defeating Hollenbaugh, 303 to 228. Gordon called the victory “exciting” and said he was “hugged very aggressively” by many people after the results were announced. Since then, Gordon has became more comfortable with the job and has earned the respect of other city officials. “Daniel’s always very polite and pleasant,” said Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards. “He works very hard at his job and takes it very seriously. He does an outstanding job of representing his ward and certainly the student body of [the University].” As far as initiatves for the upcoming year, Gordon said the council is looking to do whatever it can to help residents, particularly when it comes to quality of life and property values.
“It’s been a great pleasure working with Daniel,” Second Ward council member John Zanfardino said. “We work pretty close together. We’ve shared some issues and have been similar in our stances.” Zanfardino said he and Gordon have heard similar issues from their constituents this year, and those issues have led them to have similar concerns for the town. “It’s refreshing to have someone hear the same things that I do,” Zanfardino said. The support he has received from his constituents has driven his decision to run for reelection in the fall. “I’ve had a lot of people come up and ask me if I was going to run again, and they wanted me to run again,” Gordon said. “I’m really enjoying the work because it’s meaningful. You certainly don’t do it for the money because it doesn’t pay that much. I think public service is one of, if not the most meaningful thing you can do.” Gordon will be enrolled at the University as a graduate student working toward his masters in public administration for the 2013-14 academic year. For the time being, he wants to continue to help make the city a better place for all its residents. “I want to keep bridging that gap between students and residents,” Gordon said. “I want to show students that they can get involved, to show residents that students can work with them to address these issues.”
