New pool attracts more people than past years City Pool and Water Park has attracted more than 29,000 visitors since its summer opening By Zach Knapp and Geoff Burns Senior Reporters

The City Pool and Water Park has been a popular attraction during its first operational summer. The nearly $4 million facility was scheduled to open on June 1, but the opening was delayed due to weather conditions, according to a press release from the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department. Poor weather did not keep the pool from doing better than the previous year, Josh Chatfield, aquatics and fitness manager for Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department, said. Since opening on June 15, the pool has attracted 29,525 people; topping last years’ total of 19,400, Chatfield said. “Even with the late start in the season, I would estimate that we will be over 30,000 by the end of the season,” Chatfield said. Despite the high attendance rate, University students have a low attendance rate for the city pool, Chatfield said. “A lot of families come to the pool,” Chatfield said. “We don’t see a lot of college age students out.” The lack of convenience is a big reason why a lot of students do not go to the city pool, senior Doug Cerveny

CITY COUNCIL BRIEF

Council discuss creating more interships for students City Council discussed fracking and starting more internships at the University for students at its meeting on Monday night. First Ward council member Daniel Gordon is part of the Community Improvement Committee and said the committee plans on making more internships for students available in the fall, starting a student clean-up campaign and hosting rental orientations. DANIEL GORDON The rental orientations would teach students how to be better First Ward Councilman neighbors when living off-campus and Gordon said he wants to host City Council meetings at the University during the school year. “It’s something we’re very passionate about doing,” Gordon said. “We want to provide ways for students to become involved.” Gordon said it’s still too early to know if the internships will be paid or unpaid, but will know more once the school year starts later this month. The next City Council meeting will be on August 19 at 7 p.m.

CRIME TIME

$11.9 million crime lab to be built at the University and finished by fall 2014 By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor

A new crime lab is soon to be built at the University to replace the one currently on the corner of Wooster and Leroy totalling at $11.9 million. The state of Ohio currently has three crime labs being operated, and the replacement currently being built will undertake the forensic evidence from crimes that is collected. This new lab will be approximately 30,000 square feet according to a press release from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The money being used to build the lab was given to the Attorney General by the State. “The money was given to the Attorney General, not the University,” said Steve Lab, a professor of criminal justice. “[The Attorney General] is essentially paying to have the lab built on campus.” Tuition money and other student fees are not going to be used to pay for the lab. “Students are not paying for this in any way, shape or form,” Lab said. Lab said the new larger lab is needed. “The facility they are in is a converted grocery store from many years ago,” Lab said. “It is very small, and it’s very crowded.”

Profile pictures on LinkedIn may impact staffing decisions

Relationships, trying new things and going back home are some of the topics our editors wrote about this week as the summer draws closer to an end. |PAGE 3

Students will not be able to use the lab for classes due to the nature of the facility, Lab said. “You cannot open up a lab that actually analyzes evidence from cases to other uses because then you have contamination of the evidence and that violates a number of different legal concerns,” he said. Due to the new lab being built, there is a new opportunity for more curriculum in the Criminal Justice Program. “We have three new specializations in forensics on the undergraduate level this fall, and we are planning a Masters in forensic sciences that won’t be open for at least a year, but that’s all because the lab will be here and will be a better opportunity to share resources and work with one another,” Lab said. The three new specializations are forensic investigations, forensic chemistry and forensic biology. Mike DeWine, Attorney General for the state of Ohio said that because the lab is being built on campus it will open up a lot of opportunities for both students, and the lab. “Students will be able to intern with us right on campus, and they will be able to see what we do,” he said. Lab said a majority of the interns will most likely be students in the Masters program. As well as internships there is also a possibility for students to work with the crime lab after graduation,

While qualifications for a job are important for recruiters, physical attractiveness also plays a determining role among many hiring managers. “When applying for a job, most people don’t include a picture with resumes because employers have the option of scanning through online profiles if interested in what you look like,” Nicolas Salter, an assistant professor at Ramapo College of New Jersey and member of Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology in Bowling Green said. Research found that personal pictures can bias staffing decisions. If someone does include a photo, the person is allowing the chance of being judged, but if someone doesn’t upload one,

people may begin to wonder why there isn’t one when the majority of profiles have them. “The debate on whether or not you should include a picture of yourself on your LinkedIn® account is an important one when it comes to staffing decisions,” Salter said. Senior Kali Gibbons agrees with Salter. “I think it all comes down to the type of picture you put online,” she said. “LinkedIn’s purpose is to show your online resume, so of course you want something professional.” Salter and his partner in the study Tiffany Poeppelman, a scientist at Aptima and member of SIOP, sought to learn how having an attractive versus unattractive picture on a LinkedIn® account is perceived and compared to no

picture at all. “I can’t stress enough how vital it is to have a profile picture, especially on a site designed as an online resume for hiring managers to view,” Salter said. “It is there for a reason and people should utilize it.” The study included recruiters who were split into two groups and randomly assigned to look at two online resumes with equivalent content consisting of one profile with a picture, and the other without. While one group viewed a profile with a more attractive picture of a person, the other group looked at one with a less attractive photo. Overall, the results found that people prefer a picture over none at all. “When we viewed the results from the group who

looked at the person with the attractive picture and the resume with no photo, the recruiters favored the attractive person’s resume,” Salter said. “Then we viewed the results from the second group who looked at the unattractive photo and the profile without a picture and they said both candidates were equally qualified for the job.” A follow-up study was conducted where participants were asked open-ended questions. “Some recruiters said a person without a photo might be considered dishonest, hiding something, lazy or sloppy,” Salter said. “They also viewed the profile as incomplete, indicating the applicant may not be very detail oriented.” Recruiters think they can look at a picture and know the personality of an applicant before meeting them, Salter added. The tricky thing for applicants is they may not know what kind of photo for a resume account, such as LinkedIn®, is appropriate. Gibbons said she has seen multiple profiles with goofy pictures that don’t qualify for the website at all. “You want people to take you seriously, so people should make sure their profile picture isn’t one of them drunk at a party,” she said. An article by the Miriam Salpeter at

U.S. News & World Report suggests steps to consider before uploading a picture. It recommends posting an up-close, highquality photo, and a nice smile with no distracting accessories. “They may think by viewing a picture they can learn more about who they are by piecing together parts of their resume with the photo, as well as determining their qualification for the job,” he said. Gibbons agrees and said she thinks profile pictures for any type of social media website can help others get a feel of someone’s age and how they might portray themselves. Senior Nate Adams also agrees, which is the main reason he tries to put a profile picture up for every social media site. “I think it is a little silly that employees seem to judge or pick and choose like that, but on the other hand, I do understand they want to see the whole package and putting up a profile picture allows them to do that,” Adams said. Ultimately, employers prefer looking at a resume with a picture provided, Salter said. Everyone makes judgments about a person’s profile so Salter encourages people to completely fill out their online account and profile. “Take social media seriously, because employers will,” Salter said.

CRIME From Page 1 DeWine said. “It’s a win-win situation,” he said. “It’s a win for Bowling Green, a win for the students, and certainly a win for us at our Crime lab.” As for plans for a fourth crime lab DeWine said there are currently no plans. “There is a lot of efficiency to be achieved with having everything in one place so we don’t have any plans to build a fourth [crime lab].” He said. Senior Criminal Justice major Will

Sellers said the lab is going to bring opportunities for many people. “Not only for students, but you’re going to get more people looking for job opportunities and internships,: he said. Senior Criminal Justice major Thomas Auxter said he thinks the lab will spark interest with potential students. “Hopefully students are more excited about coming to bowling green,” he said. “Our program is very highly regarded.”

Taking chances in college can shape future GEOFF BURNS PULSE EDITOR

Take a chance. I took a chance the first time I stepped into my first class at the University as a freshman not knowing what was going to become of my experience and education. I didn’t know what to expect or what the work was going to consist of. I didn’t expect to get the general gist of what it takes to be a college student. But I do now. And the power of coffee. I took a chance interning for a newspaper in Defiance, Ohio this summer completely petrified of what I was going to write about, let alone meeting the other professional journalists. How could I not think about making a mistake and then being looked down upon by everyone? I needed to make an effort and I did. I took a chance writing for The BG News three years ago completely uncertain of if I would stick with it. It wasn’t made clear that the people I would meet would become not only some

great friends of mine, but incredible role models. It’s because of these people that I kept writing for the newspaper until this very day. The chances you take during your college experience will shape the way you carry on with your education and will ulti-

Don’t let past relationships hinder your future ones ABBY WELSH MANAGING EDITOR

One of the scariest things in life is not knowing. We strive to communicate with people our whole life, yet we still find ourselves in situations that are confusing and hurtful. When I first transferred to Bowling Green from Miami, I had no idea the type of transformation of schools and environment would be so different. I was dating my high school sweetheart of four years and we were perfect. Long distance was tough and played a toll on our relationship, so we ended up breaking up. It was obviously one of the most difficult situations I had ever been through, I mean come

on, we dated for four years. Anyway, I met another guy. He became one of my best friends and he treated me like a princess. He was thoughtful, smart, funny, caring, etc. All of the cliché things you can possibly think of, he was. Being the messed up girl I was from my high school sweetheart, I was mean to him. I took advantage of him knowing that no matter how I treated him, he would always come back to me. Messed up, right? Oh it gets better. He waited for me for about seven months before I final decided I wanted to be with him. He was ecstatic. So we dated and it was great until I couldn’t get over my past, so I threw it in his face every chance I got. Every time we

Managing your time in college creates your success, can help with stress BRIDJET MENDYUK EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and exhale. Doesn’t that feel better? With all the hustle and bustle of college, time management is the most important thing; otherwise you might go insane. As someone who is always trying to beat the clock, I value every second I get to do anything that isn’t school related. If it weren’t for the little moments of free time, you might never

value all of the hard work you put into something. I have had friends who’ve dropped out of college because the struggle of time management coupled with the stress of social life proved to be too much to take on. I’ve also seen friends miss one assignment and f ly off the handle because they simply forgot the due date. Taking time to figure things out on your own will pay off in the end. If you need to study, then do it. If you need to do homework or attend a meeting, then do it. As a college student, we’re all

extremely busy trying to do the best we can, but only the ones who can manage their time wisely will be walking up to get their diploma. I remember always trying to push deadlines further and further until I found myself racing the clock to turn in an assignment I was embarrassed to say was mine. As graduation looms it’s head around the corner, I can finally say I learned my lesson my sophomore year when I was able to manage my time wisely while still being able to turn on Netflix every so

Saying goodbye to friends at home doesn’t mean forever AMBER PETKOSEK SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR

Coming to college is often portrayed as leaving home, family and your friends for an extended period of time or even for good. When I came to college I wish someone told me that is not true. A common fact told to many graduating high school students is that a year after graduation you won’t talk to 95 percent of the people in your graduat-

ing class. After hearing this I prepared myself to never my old friends or acquaintances, ever again. People manage to forget that the five percent you still speak to are your close friends, many who you have been friends with since elementary school. These are the people that are difficult to live without. Even after preparing myself to make new friends here at the University, I soon learned that saying goodbye to your best friend is indeed not forever.

“When I was packing up to leave my best friend we didn’t say an official goodbye, but instead we parted ways with a simple ‘see ya.’” In my case, I said goodbye to all my friends and in a matter of two weeks I saw many of them again when

I returned home for a wedding. The tearful goodbye’s you see in many movies is definitely a dramatization. The goodbye’s that I have always gave have just been like any other goodbye. When I was packing up to leave my best friend we didn’t say an official goodbye, but instead we parted ways with a simple ‘see ya.’ You may hear stories from some people saying that leaving their friends was the

THE PULSE The Beach Boys surf into town

Band brings new genre of music to the Wood County Fair By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor

As the people in the audience tossed beach balls back and forth, The Beach Boys had officially taken the stage. The band performed at the 140th annual Wood County Fair on Saturday night as part of the week-long series of events, which approximately 100,000 people came to throughout the week. The show consisted of not only a live performance from the band, but videos on a projector screen of people surfing. Entertainment Chair for the Wood County Fair Dave Nietz said the fair is known for its hosting of country musicians and bands to perform each year, but this year the fair board wanted to do something different.

REVIEWS “ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK” Movie | Grade: A

By Jonathan Keilholz Pulse Critic

Jenji Kohan’s Showtime series “Weeds” took a hit – not in the cannabis way – as it signed off in Sept. 2012. The unique developer of a mom-gone-drug-dealer satire, queen-of-dark-comedy Kohan could’ve done a much better job developing the series finale, a feat mistakable for fan-fiction. As Kohan was orchestrating Nancy Botwin’s “Weeds” overdue farewell in mid 2012, she was also creating a fresh new series for Netflix: “Orange is the New Black,” based on “Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison,” Piper Kerman’s nonfiction memoir about a federal corrections facility. This raw, brutally gripping series must have taken precedent over Kohan’s other projects; it allows us to cut Kohan some slack for that botched “Weeds” ending. A prototype for white and “WASPy” privilege, Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling, “Argo)” gets caught up in a drug scheme with her college lover (Laura Prepon, “That ‘70s Show).” Ten years later, Chapman must leave her journalist fiancé (Michael J. Harney) and go to jail for possessing a suitcase of drug money, a crime with a statute of limitations of 12 years, something Chapman is quick to note. For someone whose best work is in the grey, Kohan and her writers should’ve been exploring women’s prison earlier: it’s a breeding

ground for ethical dilemmas and painstaking choices that match Kohan’s tone. Though many of these women have done horrible things, they are relatable. About midway through the season, Chapman makes a jawdropping decision that seems vehemently wrong. Yet in the next episode, when talking with a particularly feisty juvenile delinquent visiting jail as a deterrent to winding up behind bars, Chapman puts things in perspective. “I’m scared that I’m not myself in here, and I’m scared that I am,” she says. “Other people aren’t the scariest part of prison. It’s coming face-to-face with who you really are.” Anyone who follows Kohan’s work knows she’s not all about oppression and sadness. Honing in on the “comedy” aspect of dark-comedy, Kohan recognizes that humor is a vital coping method. Appropriate doses of humor mostly come from an incredible group of inmates who are perfectly cast. Both heartbreaking and revealing, these prisoners tackle their personal problems while offering Kohan-style insight on masochism, racism, bureaucracy, sexism, transsexualism and other big issues. Though there’s an extensive history of women’s prison in TV and film, nothing quite like this has ever existed. Relevant, relentless and funny, “Orange is the New Black” is the must-see-TV experience of the summer.

Senior seeks loan to expand stand up paddle board business By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor

During their first week of college many freshman are busy settling into their dorms and getting used to classes; Kyle Dickman was planning to open his own business. After taking just two classes at the University, Kyle called his father Scott Dickman and told him about his plan. “I told him to hold up until he had gone through a semester,” Scott said. “Low and behold after a semester he started his own business.” Kyle, currently a senior is the President of Bros Boards, a retail board shop that sells stand-up paddle boards. He said one of the many things that inspired him to start his own business was Hamilton endowed professor of entrepreneurship Gene Poor’s entrepreneurship class. Poor said he thinks the current day in age is a good time to start your own business. “I think it’s a young person’s

world,” he said. “I wish I was younger.” The idea for Kyle’s business started when he discovered Body Glove and Imagine Surf stand-up paddle boards, which are more affordable than many other boards because they are made from plastic instead of fiberglass, he said

“I need a lot of money up front to buy and purchase the equipment, and then the money starts to come in.” Kyle Dickman | President

“I figured that was a great opportunity to bring the sport to the Midwest,” Kyle said. Scott said his son’s professionalism never ceases to amaze him. “I’ll never forget when he went to see his first customer,” he said. “He had talked to him on the phone many times and when he walked

in to see them, [Kyle] was 19 at the time and the guy looked at him and said ‘boy you’re young.’” While in high school Kyle competed in an entrepreneurship competition through the Business Professionals of America where he made a business plan for a company similar to Bros Boards. “I really liked the process and I liked the fact that I was making all the decisions and was getting to do things the way I wanted to and that’s what got me into entrepreneurship in Bowling Green,” he said. In the spring of 2013 Kyle competed in The Hatchery program; he went through a nine week mentorship program where he perfected his business plan and got himself ready to present it to investors. Kyle presented a plan to the investors to open a cable wakeboard park in Charlotte, North Carolina. “It has about a 10 acre lake that has six towers around the lake with

Now, I am dating an even better guy and although we have had some rough patches, I handle the situation better than a spontaneous break up. I didn’t like the person I was. I was miserable, but I learned how to not let my past interfere with my future and I couldn’t be more happy than I am now because I learned from my very stupid actions.

comes around, but don’t let all of the stress get to your head. Everyone is always rushing to get something done, but no one ever realizes taking a break, even for a minute, might improve the end result. If there is one thing I’ve learned in my time at the University, it’s that hard work definitely pays off, but you might not appreciate it if you’re beating yourself up about other things. The world doesn’t

stop spinning if you missed an assignment; it happens to the best of us. Being able to manage your schedule to do what you need to do the next time around will pay off in the long run. Just always remember to take a deep breath every once in a while to clear your head; you’ll feel better.

GEOFF From Page 3 a professional journalist. If I never took the chance at writing for The BG News and sticking to it, my life as a college student would be lost. I wouldn’t have met all of the amazing people I have and I wouldn’t have had any experience before my internship. These chances have contributed deeply into the person I am today and I wouldn’t take

back any of them. So when you’re meeting new people, getting ready to join an organization, applying for a job, etc., take that chance because it could define who you are. Be the person you’re set out to be without any regrets.

cable systems in the towers and the cable system moves at about 20 miles per hour pulling up to eight riders,” Kyle said. “It eliminates the need for a boat so it makes it much less expensive and more accessible.” He did not receive any funding through the Hatchery program. “Unfortunately the investors were looking to make investments of about $10,000 at a time, and I asked for $1.1 million,” Kyle said. “So when I asked for

that the crowd there was [shocked].” Since the competition, Kyle has refined his business plan further to minimize the amount of money he needs to about $800,000. “It’s a capital intensive venture,” he said. “I need a lot of money up front to buy the park and purchase the equipment and then the money starts to come in.” Poor said he thinks The Hatch was a good experience for Kyle, but it was

more of an experience for him than an attempt to earn money. “It gave him a sense of experience of what it’s like to be in front of people,” he said. “To feel the intimidation from those who have the potential to make that kind of contribution.” Kyle is currently looking for investors and has been talking to a bank in North Carolina to get approved for a loan so he has to ask investors for less money.

cult time saying goodbye, the reality of it is that those people may very likely continue to be a major part of your life. As well as leaving friends, for many people leaving family is also something that happens. When I left I thought I would talk to my parents less than I actually did. I talked to them more because I was away from them in college and leaving for college definitely improved the relation-

ship I have with my parents. Many people tie this into “leaving the nest,” but the truth is until you have your own house you never truly leave the nest. You will always have roots at home holding you there, and those friends who you thought would disappear often times stick around.

MIKE LOVE, lead singer for The Beach Boys, sings on stage at the Wood County Fair on Saturday night.

“We just took a chance that it was going to be a big hit,” Nietz said. “We’re satisfied with the turnout this year and we just tried something different other than country because that’s what we usually do. People like them.” Advertising and Public Relations for the Wood County Fair Cindy Harter said people who are part of the fair board will pick about five possible musical acts in October of the previous year and then sign a contract in January for the official act to perform at the fair. We were close to selling all of the tickets for the show and it’s easy to see that

with the amount of people who filled the amount of seats on the ground, as well as everyone who sat in the stands, she said. “I noticed that there are more people here at the fair that wouldn’t normally come here,” Cindy said. “We try to market to different aspects of people outside of the fair and we try to offer something for everybody.” Junior Josh Harter attended the show making it his third time seeing The Beach Boys perform live and said the band always puts on a great show. “I grew up listening to them,”

Josh said. “They’re great at getting the crowd going compared to other bands I’ve seen live.” Graduate student Erin Baker attended the show and said her parents always listened to the band which ultimately sparked her own interest in the music. “I’ve seen them a few times before,” Baker said. “They give me a nostalgia feeling when I hear them.” The band is set to play in Cancun, Mexico tonight as part of its summer-long tour, which is set to end in the middle of October in Hampton, Georgia.

said. “As long as you are taking classes, the pool at the rec center is free and right on campus,” Cerveny said. “I also am living at Enclave [Apartment Complex] this summer so I have a pool right across from my apartment.” Besides the convenience aspect, Cerveny said he goes where he knows other people his age will go to swim. “The quarry is still a pretty far drive, but I go out there every once in awhile--even though I have the Enclave’s pool right there,” Cerveny said. “A lot of my friends like to plan day trips out at the quarry.” The city pool may not be attracting as many University students because the pool is oriented around a younger crowd, said Chatfield. “We close in August because our schedule follows the public schools school schedule,” Chatfield said. “That is when a lot of our workers and students go back to school.” However, senior Keith McBride bought a summer membership to the city pool after its grand opening and said he enjoys going there because if you’re not a full time student during the summer, then you will be charged to get into the rec center. “There’s always something to do there,” McBride said. “There’s all sorts of different sections for kids and for adults and they have good food too.” Season passes for the pool are $80 for adults and $70 for students, and day passes are $5 for adults (no student discount on day passes). The pool will close for the season on Sunday, August 15, according to the Bowling Green Parks and Recreations website.
