BIKE RACK

New bike rental program allows students to share bikes around campus By Bridjet Mendyuk Editor-in-Chief

Students can expect to roll along this academic year with the new Orange Bike system, which allows students to share University owned bicycles on campus. The Orange Bike system is similar to a library card, the Stainability Coordinator at the University, Nick Hennessy said. Students can sign up, check out, use the bike on campus and leave it for other students to use via bike rack. “Right now, it is offered as a street service to students,” Hennessy said. “If you need to get around on campus you unlock and hop on an Orange Bike. Everyone that belongs to [the system] gets to share the bikes.” Graduate student Michael Wiatrowski said he

thinks the program is innovative and encourages students to use green transportation. “I think it’s a great idea, the shared bike system makes it easier to get around,” Wiatrowski said. “It’s really thoughtful of students.” The bikes were donated to the program at the end of the 2013 spring semester as well as the collection at the end of spring if people left their bikes on campus. “[We have a workshop] where [people] fix them up and put them in their inventory,” Hennessy said. Senior Sarah Von Blon has also seen the bikes on campus and thinks the program is a great way for students to get around who can’t bring their bicycle to the University. “I’m a tour guide and I always point out to incoming students that it’s a program we have,” Von Blon

The nightmare that many students endure on move-in day might be over, thanks to President of senior Krysten Jablonowski’s Cribs on Campus great new business. Moving into the resident halls can be hectic and stressful. Waiting for elevators and putting together dorm furniture can be exhausting for any student. The chaotic experience caused Jablonowski to recall her experiences when she moved into the campus residence halls. “I remember move in day being very hectic and very hot,” Jablonowski said. “It was a crazy experience.” Not only was actually moving the furniture into her assigned hall overwhelming, but not feeling fully settled into her new home also created a stressful experience. “I always felt like I was continuously moving stuff into my room,” Jablonowski said. “I never felt like I was settled in.” The experiences Jablonowski had with moving into residence halls cause her to discuss ideas with her friend that could help make the process easier for other students. A few years later she was able to receive funding from “The Hatch” after presenting her idea to potential investors. “The Hatch” gave nine students the chance to pitch their business ideas to five investors who chose the ideas they wanted to fund. After her experience with “The Hatch,” Jablonowski became an entrepreneur of a business called “Cribs on Campus”. “Cribs on Campus” allows students to purchase microwaves, futons and mini refrigerators and have them delivered to their rooms before they arrive. Jablonowski has a website that was presented during freshman orientation that works like Amazon. Students place the item they want delivered in a cart and buy the items themselves and Jablonowski will deliver them. “When you get here on move-in day, the last thing you want to worry about is putting together a futon or carrying huge pieces of furniture,” Jablonowski said. Now that her business is up and running, Jablonowski focuses on creating a stress free experience for students moving into the halls, especially incoming freshmen. “Freshmen make up the majority of the on campus population,” she said. “Reaching out to them during [their] orientation is especially important to me.” Senior Clair Hamberg likes the idea of having a stress free experience when moving

Students may be left HYPNOTIZED WITH A SNAP without a home temporarily By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor

When senior Jessica Lisek moves out of her apartment on August 8, she’ll be without a home for almost a week before she can move into her new place. Lisek, along with many other students living off-campus, is dealing with the transition period from moving to another apartment on a brand new lease. Rental companies use these few weeks before the new tenants move in to clean, maintenance and fix destroyed property. Lisek has been leasing from Greenbriar Inc. for a year and is moving into another apartment at Campbell Hill, also leased by Greenbriar Inc., and will be moving into her parents home in Columbus during the six day gap. For some, that would be invconvient for such a short period of time, but for Lisek, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.

“Both of my parents work and I’ll need to finish gathering some last minute things for my next place,” Lisek said. Rental Agent at John Newlove Real Estate Inc. Denise Pickerel said the move-in dates for the rental company is on August 18 for graduate students and on August 22 for undergraduate students. The company doesn’t deal too much with people wanting to move in earlier than the expected date because it has it’s set date and it’s not negotiable, she said. “They’re given check out and cleaning instructions before they move out, but that doesn’t mean that it’s followed or done,” Pickerel said. “We try to clean everything before people move in.” Lisek said although it annoys her that she is required to clean her apartment before she moves out, she can understand how the place needs to be empty for a few weeks in order to get things

said. “I really like it.” In addition to the Orange Bike system, the bike racks on campus will be replaced with recycled plastic. The University received a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for the purchase of the bike racks, he said. These “bike shelters” will house bicycles on campus and will have a green roof to grow plants on top of the shelter. “I think it’s a really good, sustainable thing,” Von Blon said. “I know people that have [used the program] and they really enjoy it.” Classes will be available for students to take where some of the course will involve studying the green roof’s drainage and run-off

system, Hennessy said. The building of the shelters will start in the spring. “I encourage anything that advocates more student engagement and education,” Wiatrowski said. “[The shelters] seems like a good use of money and time.” As of 2013, the University and Ohio State University are the only schools to have received the EPA grant for the bike racks. “It decreases run-off [and] it’s a good educational tool as well as a safe place for bikes,” Hennessy said. “We’re able to tie it into educational functions, which is why I think we were able to receive the grant.” For more information on the Orange Bike Program, go online to the Office of Stainability on the University’s website.

ready for the next people moving in. “I’ve been living here for a year so I should have to make sure it’s clean,” From Page 1 Lisek said. “With the new attendants they should inspect the entire apartment to make sure it is up to their standards.” Rental Manager for Rutter and Dudley Rental Properties Kerry Koontz has a system where once people sign a lease, they can request an early move-in date prior to the set date in August. The people who request early move-in are on a first come first serve basis from there. “We own 28 rental units and our business is relatively small comparatively which makes it easier to accommodate people,” Koontz said. “If you’re a larger place and have hundreds of rental places to take care, it might definitely have some impact. There are many factors and financial obligations that are involved when dealing with this issue.” For senior Claire Copa, who is now renting from Frobose Rentals, was lucky enough to move in early with her situation. “I had to move in a few days before my lease was up because my other rental place has us move out pretty early,” Copa said. “I thought I was going to have to move back home for a few days, which would have been pointless since I live in Cleveland.” Because there are different move in dates for different rental companies, there are options other than moving home for a few days, which could help out with gas and time. “I probably would have house-hopped to my friends house in Bowling Green, which would have been a lot more convenient than driving all the way to Cleveland,” Copa said. “I think every rental company should be on the same page for students who have to stress about the gap.”

The ideas flow through your head, but not to your fingers. Whatever’s blocking you from wanting to put down has disconnected the path from your mind to your fingertips. It happens to everyone— I hope. While writing is a great pastime, sometimes you just don’t know what you’re doing. Regardless of the plans, or the drive to even do what you set out to do. It’s a hopeless feeling, wondering if you’re ever going to be able to put more words down on the page anytime soon. Usually, there are ways to bounce back; writing

DAVOOD DADFAR COLUMNIST

Time and time again, most of us fall victim to hearing someone preach that the biggest asset you will ever have in your life are your friends. In the past 21 years of my life, this hasn’t been just a saying, but a way of life. So, what constitutes your friends as an asset? Are they connections that will land you a job, friends that will listen to your concerns or just buddies you’ll have a casual beer with? What do you look to get out of it? In the recent past I’ve modified my beliefs of this concept into what I believe is the way students should view them-

selves and their friendships in today’s society. It’s simple. In today’s world, allowing your friends to be your largest asset has one major drawback. Too many times we fall victim to deriving our self-worth from other people. Their approval, actions and feelings, towards us define who we are and what we do. Couples in college experience this just as their insecurities start to surface. Other times, we witness this by mistake as we realize someone who plays a perceived small role in our lives has a tremendous impact on our own self-perception. As we grow and age, we set goals like completing college, moving out of the house, exploring different venues. Still, too manytimes

MAN,

OLIVIA SMITH COLUMNIST

It was the beginning of summer, and I was looking forward to an important email concerning an internship that I had applied for. Every time my phone buzzed, I eagerly checked my mailbox to see if it was the email I was looking for had finally been received. However, every time I got that notification, it was for a campus update email. I was so frustrated with constantly having to check my inbox just to see a campus update and having to delete it in anticipation for the email I was waiting for. This made me realize how many of campus updates we receive a day. It is ridiculous. Then I thought about it some more. Just about every University student finds those campus updates annoying. I also know that most of my friends ignore them. For one, half of the time,

campus updates do not even pertain to the student as an individual. Literally, a student can go months without reading one and not miss a thing during the academic year. Organizations advertise in them because it is a free and easy route to do so, but if students openly admit to deleting them before even opening them, then clearly they are not serving their purpose to these organizations. Not only are they annoying during the academic year, but after dealing with them all summer, I find that they are even more annoying when I am not taking classes. Like the majority of students, I am not on campus. I am not living in Bowling Green. I do not need to know every update concerning campus. Especially multiple times a day. I get it, there is a lot of construction going on and parking lots are closed, but I am going to be honest, I do not care. I also do not care about any outages that are happening in the city or in a dorm that I do not live in. I can see the purpose of cam-

pus updates because I know how important it is for students to be informed. However, the amount of emails that are sent out seem to lessen their importance.

“I do not need to know every update concerning campus. Especially multiple times a day. ” Maybe if one important one was sent a day, students would pay more attention to them and take them more seriously. But no, instead we receive multiple emails, depending on the day of course, with seemingly insignificant updates. I feel that if an update was really so important for the students to know about then there should be another way to do so or maybe we need to rethink the type of information allowed in the campus updates. Maybe we should allow the students to opt-in or out of

receiving them depending on their own personal preference, especially since it is the individual’s own personal responsibility to determine how involved they wish to be with things happening on campus. Overall, I think that the campus update emails mean well, but they are certainly annoying. I do not like checking my inbox every day and seeing two to three new campus updates. They take up space and make me miss potentially more important emails. They are loaded with irrelevant updates. And if they are relevant they usually pertain to only a small portion of the student population. Until something is done to revise the campus updates, determine what their real purpose is and change how many are sent per day, they will, in my opinion, continue to be an annoyance and take up valuable space in my inbox.

That book changed my life...

Service delivers food and products to customers By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor

After senior Cody Peacock saw delivery businesses at other colleges, he decided it was time to start his own in Bowling Green. Cody and his wife Mallory, who is also a senior, are both owners of the newly established BG Delivered, a food and grocery delivery service that brings food and other items to people’s homes offices, residence halls and apartments for people who call in and place an order of what they need.

As much of a cliché it is to say the book that changed my life was “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” by J.K. Rowling, I have to say the book and the series as a whole changed my life. When I was younger, I didn’t like to read. I struggled to read. My mom tried everything to get me to read, not having success until she gave me the “Harry Potter” books.

Between “Harry Potter” and the ever going plethora of “Nancy Drew” novels I could find, I was a reader. Not only was I a reader, picking books up, but also a budding writer. I wanted to write my own stories. I wanted to expand my world. Now, I’m a reader, a writer and a dreamer of many magical worlds. If it says anything, my first tattoo says “Mischief Managed.”

Graduate student starts business after competing in an investment competition By Zach Knapp Senior Reporter

Graduate Scott Hodges plans to offer a new latenight food staple to the downtown area with his taco truck “Bueno” as early as the start of fall semester. Hodges’ plan to enter into the food truck business began in April when he participated in “The Hatch,” a live, interactive investment competition hosted by the Dallas-Hamilton Center for Ent repreneu r ia l Leadership and the College of Business. “The Hatch” has a similar format to the popular TV show “Shark Tank,” where people present their ideas to investors to gain their support. Hodges and eight other students were given the

opportunity to present their business ideas to investors, who contributed more than $100,000 to student business proposals, $40,000 going to Hodges’ taco stand startup for 40 percent of the equity, according to a press release by the University’s College of Business. Director of the Dallas-

“A food truck is a great idea and probably something that all of us thought should be up here at some point.” Sam Rhinehart | Senior Ha m i lt on C ent er for Ent repreneu r ia l Leadership at the University Kirk Kern said the taco stand could be serving up food as early as

two weeks from now. “Scott has been working really hard and I would hope that you will be able to see it appear in Bowling Green in the next two weeks,” Kern said. Kern has worked with Hodges during the process of “The Hatch,” meeting with each other each week to discuss the business plan. Kern is looking forward to what comes next for Hodges. “We are in what we call the incubation stage right now,” Kern said. “The real hard work begins and Scott has to build the company.” Bowling Green’s lack of food trucks is surprising due to the “food-onwheels” craze in a lot of college towns, Senior Sam Rhinehart said. The estimated revenue

for food trucks in the U.S. was $650 million in 2012, according to the National Restaurant Organization. It’s estimated to grow into a 2.7 billion national industry by 2017, according to Intuit Inc (research by Emergent Research). “I eat at the Burrito Buggy almost every time I go down to visit [Ohio University] and it seems like there are food trucks serving up all kinds of different food on every corner down at [Ohio State University],” Rhinehart said. Bethany Rutter, co-owner of the Burrito Buggy, said food trucks are successful in college towns because they become a part of the whole college experience.

Some might know him as the drummer of Nirvana or the lead singer of the Foo Fighters or even the elusive drummer of Tenacious D, but I like to think of Dave Grohl as the Superman of punk rock.

The “Little House on the Prairie” series affected me a lot when I was younger. My mom bought me the whole series for my ninth birthday and this is what started my love of reading. Prior to these books I had a lot of trouble making myself sit and read a book, let alone a series of books. These books also caused me to become much more imaginative; growing up living on a farm I used to run around and pretend that

was even recorded in Grohl’s garage. He also doesn’t put himself above others, especially at shows where he has been spotted dancing in the crowd with everyone else. He even helped out a fan that was proposing to his girlfriend at his concert by bringing them on-stage. After hearing the trapped coal miners in Tasmanian listened to the Foo Fighters while underground, he went to visit them for a drink. The guy even gave his waitress a $1,000 tip. This guy is one of my role models and while I’m not a musician, I think others should strive to be like him.

I was Laura Ingalls Wilder and I was moving in a covered wagon. After reading this series I moved on to reading more series of books, as well as individual books. It caused me to go from not being able to read a chapter of a book, to reading a book in one sitting. These days I can’t find much time for reading between work and school, but someday I will take the time to re-read them all. Once I have kids of my own, I will definitely take the time to read these books with them.

DAVOOD From Page 3 people use others as a means to justify their purpose to improve themselves forgetting the important notion that you don’t owe your success to your parents, your girlfriend or your religion. You owe it to yourself. Years from now, you will witness that this life offers a path that hasn’t been paved for you, and that the people who brought you into it tried their best to show you that opportunities showed themselves to people who first developed their character from within. Now, it may seem that I’m demoting the idea of serving the greater good, but the very idea of befriending people as family is actually in my DNA. I was named after my grandfather, who was known for his hospitality. Guests merely showed up at his door hearing that my grandfather’s home was the place to go if you were in Tehran. There, strangers would be instantly treated like family. Over the years my grandfather’s friendship with people expanded vastly. Even though he was never wealthy in monetary terms, my grandfather died rich in friends who love him as nearly 20,000 people rushed to attend his funeral. Today’s friendships are different,

for better or worse. Whenever we meet people in the workplace, we call it networking and we’ve disbanded the idea of inviting our coworkers to our own homes. Communication has become sprawled out and disconnected with most people looking down at their smart phones more than into the eyes of another human. All this has led me to believe that we can’t place value on people to direct and create our entire selfworth anymore. Today’s world is built to reward goal seekers who are clever, cunning and most importantly capable of being independently driven. It may seem like I did it all right or that I’ve been through the ropes of life, but that simply is not true. Most of life’s greatest lessons are from failures and losses, and the loss of a friend can be one of the hardest things we as humans face. The key to self-satisfaction for the millennial generation is to invest in yourself and keep your friends close for the rest of your life with the important mind set that selfworth is created from within before it’s improved on by others.

GRADUATE STUDENT Scott Hodges stands in front of his truck “Bueno” which will serve tacos to the downtown area in the fall.

“Homecoming weekend is one of the busiest weekends for us because we get all of the alumni coming back who feel the need to come by for a burrito,” Rutter said. “It is a chance for them to reminisce about their college years and all of those nights that ended with a burrito from the buggy.” Rhinehart is looking forward

to having more late-night food options downtown. “A food truck is a great idea and probably something that all of us have thought should be up here at some point,” Rhinehart said. “I am a big fan of food trucks so as long as the food is good I will definitely be a regular there.”

Cody said he thought the idea of bringing this sort of service to town would be beneficial. “It would be a nice addition to the Bowling Green community,” Cody said. “I figured we could start it up and see how it goes and it’s been going great so far.” After opening up for business a month ago, the company has five part time student employees and two graduate employees. Three of the employees are delivery drivers who have an iPad with Internet connection that alerts them when someone has placed an order and where to deliver that item. They use their own car to go and pick up the item ordered and deliver it to wherever the customer’s location is. The other three employees consist of office workers who take orders and do paperwork. Cody said the company is paperless meaning that customers can order online by filling out a form

$19.99 for 41-50 items

describing what it is they want, or they can call the office and have BG Delivered fill out the form for the customer. The order is then sent as an email to one of the delivery employee’s iPad. Mallory serves as a delivery driver and said although she and Cody are both from Cleveland where many of the restaurants and stores are spread throughout the city, paying for gas isn’t difficult here in town because of how small and close everything is. It hasn’t been a huge problem because everything is so close together,” Mallory said. “We get paid 50 cents for each order delivered, too.” Office worker Kristin Schnerer started working at the business when it started in June and said Cody had asked her to work for the business after becoming friends with him at Cru, a church group at the University. She said she enjoys working at

the business because it’s always something different. “It’s great because I’m a creative person myself and I get to make flyers and posters for us,” Schnerer said. “I can’t work at a place where I do the same thing constantly and it’s fun here because every day there is something random for me to do.” Cody said the delivery is still in the beginning stages of development and is going to find out more of what people want once the 20132014 school year begins in August. “We’re not here to get rich, we’re here to make a profit,” Cody said. “When the kids come back we’re going to reevaluate where we’re at and where our prices are because we want to go as low as we can so we can serve the most people.” BG Delivered will be handing out free shirts at Campus Fest in September and can be reached at 419-352-3131 Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

into the residence halls and wished this existed when she lived in the dorms. “It would have saved me a ton of stress from moving the furniture in and out by myself,” Hamberg said. Trips to Wal-Mart for futons wouldn’t be necessary because it could already be in your room. It’s a great idea because even though dorms have some necessities, it would be nice to not have to worry about moving furniture to your room that isn’t provided, Hamberg said. “Cribs on Campus” would also allow the cars of students and parents to have less clutter as they travel to the University in order to move in.

“It’s less stuff you’ll have to pack and move up to your room,” Jablonowski said. However, senior Britney Balduf thinks that moving in some of the furniture for students may take away the experience. “It would be good for [students] to have the actual experience of moving in themselves,” said Balduf. Despite the different opinions that “Cribs on Campus” may bring, it continues to become well known by both students and parents. Many parents and students question why this idea wasn’t thought of earlier in order to relieve them of the stress that comes with moving into the resi-

dence halls, Jablonowski said. As the business becomes more popular Jablonowski looks forward to expanding her business to other colleges. “I’m hoping it’s very easy to pick up this idea and move it to a different college or university,” Jablonowski said. She hopes to encourage students who have ideas to talk with the instructors of the entrepreneurship program because the University has great opportunities that allow ideas to become a reality.
