New health center to open fall 2013, negotiations continue By Danae King Campus Editor
In another year, students will be able to walk across the street and into a new health center. The University is currently working through negotiations with Wood County Hospital that will build and operate the new health center, which is supposed to open fall 2013. The University sent out a request for proposal earlier this year and Wood County Hospital as well as University of Toledo Medica l Center responded. A University selection committee chose Wood County as the provider. “[The committee] felt their proposal was the most responsive and the best fit for BGSU,”

Center for Student Health. The University manages and owns the current health center, located on Ridge Street. One change that will come with outsourcing the health center to Wood County Hospital will be a new location. The new health center will be located on the corner of Wooster Street and College Drive, the former location of the Popular Culture Building, Sipp said. “Because of the traffic light, it is a safer location,” Sipp said. “It is readily accessible to the southwest area of campus.” The University considered an alternate location along Wooster but choose the current site because it has an existing traffic light and a crosswalk, Sipp said.
Executive Director of the Center for Student Health said Andy Grant, director of Business Operations. During the negotiations, representatives from the University and Wood County Hospital are discussing how everything from the facility to the staff will work and how it will all benefit students. “We want to maintain dedication to students and understand students’ needs,” said Richard Sipp, associate vice president for Student Affairs and executive director of the

“We’re excited the University has selected that [site],” said Christy Gray, vice president of development at Wood County Hospital. “I think it will be a very convenient spot.” Katie Post, auxiliary affairs chair in the Undergraduate Student Government and the undergraduate representative on the health center committee, said she thinks the location is very proximal to campus. Post said something that is important to students is privacy. The current center is small and doesn’t allow for a lot of student privacy, Post said she thinks this will change with the new building. “They are designing it to have optimal privacy for stu-

In the days leading up to fall semester, students like Kaylynn Cockrell may have been feeling some added stress — but it wasn’t the same stress that typically comes with starting a new semester. Cockrell was one student affected by the University’s upped enforcement of its payment policy, which states students must pay their bursar bill before the first day of classes. Instead of being able to wait for her financial aid to pay for part of her bill, Cockrell had to pay the difference and is now waiting

New learning community targets drug, alcohol abuse among undergraduates By Alex Alusheff City Editor
Alcohol and drugs may not always be synonymous with education, but the risk of usage may be higher in the college environment. A 2010 study of undergraduate college students found that more than 61 percent sold or gave prescription drugs to their peers. That statistic, along with alcohol abuse, was why Terry Rentner and Scott Martin decided to start the Alcohol, Drugs and Higher Education learning community. Rentner, a professor and director of the School of Media and Communication, and Martin, professor and director of the Department of History, will be facilitating the learning

community this year. The learning community is available to faculty, staff and graduate students with backgrounds or an interest in drugs and alcohol on campus, Rentner said. The group will consist of up to 10 people and the application deadline is Aug. 24. “It’s a different type of learning community in that it looks at the wellness of the student,” she said. “Our philosophy is that a successful student needs to be a healthy student.

into how alcohol, tobacco and prescription drug use plug into that wellness and success of a student.” Alcohol, Drugs and Higher Learning is one of four new learning communities available this year out of 13 total, said Karen Meyers, assistant director for the Center for Teaching and Learning. The other new communities include Critical Thinking Pedagogy, Exploring Cyber Campus and Innovative Teaching Group, Meyers said. “We encourage the communities to be made up of multiple disciplines to research on a subject and build a community, not a class-

One grant the community received is a four-year state grant for $514,000. The grant is intended for planning and determining strategies and priorities. Another grant will go toward programming like peer education, Yingling said. “By having these groups get together, I see more collaboration opportunities and it brings more awareness and knowledge to what we’re doing,” she said. Some of the sessions the learning community will host pertain to high-risk drinking, and how it affects adulthood and patterns of weight change in freshmen, Rentner said.

registrar’s office, rather than doing it themselves, said Sheri Stoll, the University’s chief financial officer. While students aren’t guaranteed re-enrollment into all of their original classes, the University gave priority to seniors for re-enrollment, Carr said. One of reasons the University is furthering enforcement of the policy is to help prepare students for life after college, she said. “We need to be educating people about what’s going to be happening in the real world,” Carr said. “[We’re] planting the seed to plan ahead.” Although the University hopes enforcing the payment policy will help prepare students, it originally relaxed the policy in 2007 to accommodate for the economic recession, Stoll said. “We had the best of intentions but in hindsight it probably was not helpful either to students or the University,” Stoll said. “It
should have always been enforced.” Before the University enforced the policy, students who had not paid by the start of the semester had a hold placed on their account. The hold prevented students from registering for spring semester and could result in a student leaving the University if they were unable to pay. Both Stoll and Carr agree that low-level enforcement of the payment policy was one of the reasons for a drop in student retention in recent years. “Last year, we looked at our fall-to-fall retention and we lost 1,100 students,” Carr said. “That’s a lot of students.” While some students may have had trouble trying to meet the enforced payment deadline, Carr hasn’t heard any students denying their financial responsibility to the University. In keeping w ith

Carr’s observation, the University had a higher number of students in a “paid status” this fall than it had in the past three years, Carr said. Like the majority of students at the University, Cockrell paid her balance before the deadline, but is still unsure about the University’s enforcement of the policy. “I have mixed feelings about it,” Cockrell said. “I think it fits but at the same time it makes things a little more stressful.”

Embrace college University reflects the surrounding world experience, lifestyle ALISSA WIDMAN COLUMNIST
“Freshman year gets better — I promise.” The bathroom stall graffiti of Olscamp Hall usually displays snarky messages or anonymous pleas for help. But this week, the barren, freshly painted walls had only this one message to bear. I could completely relate. Recalling my first days at the University produces a mental image that’s hardly picturesque. While classmates paraded about campus chanting foreign phrases like “roll along” and “ay ziggy zoomba,” I sat in a heap in Harshman residence hall, tears streaming down my cheeks. I was a University freshman, just like the 4,000 or so of you who arrived last week. But, unlike a majority of college newcomers, I was anything but excited. Before I even arrived on campus, I made a hasty decision: I hated it here. The University stripped away the familiarity of my hometown, Sandusky, Ohio. It separated my boyfriend and I by 60 miles. It depleted my bank account as I purchased overpriced books and attended classes that didn’t matter. Orange-and-brown clad students bombarded me daily with what I considered faux school spirit. Their cheerfulness was gag-inducing to me. “No one is that excited about attending college,” I cynically thought about the self-declared University ambassadors. “Maybe college parties, but not college. This is stupid.” I didn’t want to listen to their advice. I didn’t want to admit they might know more than me about this “college experience” everyone was raving about. I just wanted to get in, get my journalism degree and get out. Oh, how things have changed — it’s almost laughable. If you spot me on campus today, you’ll notice I too radiate an abundance of gag-inducing love for this University. And no, it’s not just because of our raging college parties (although, I’ll admit, they are pretty awesome). It’s because, after a semester or so, I opened my mind and I started listening to those self-declared University ambassadors. I became involved in campus organizations like The BG News. I stepped out of my residence hall and into other
buildings for study groups and for first-year events. I learned it’s OK to expand your friendship group outside of high school classmates and your roommate. In the process, I met my best friends and grew into a well-rounded person. I’m so glad I did. Freshmen, as you can tell from my tale, I’m the last person who will tell you how to spend your first weeks at the University. I’m not going to tell you to feel happy if you’re not happy. I’m not going to tell you to get excited if you’re not excited. And if you haven’t warmed up to college yet, don’t worry — you have at least four years to get used to it. I simply want to leave you with one instruction as you continue forward: Keep an open mind. Judge hastily, like me, and you might miss opportunities you can’t get back. As new freshmen move in each year, upperclassmen are overjoyed. You bring energy, enthusiasm and fresh ideas, and we also see a bit of ourselves in you. We want to ensure you have fun; that’s why we’re so apt to come up to you and brag about our wonderful campus for hours at a time. We’re excited for your fresh start here — the friends you will meet, the things you will learn and the memories you will make. As your journeys begin, mine is nearing its end. In less than four months, I will graduate and start seeking a job as a newspaper reporter. It’s bittersweet. Although I convinced myself I would never grow attached to this land of blustery winds, feisty squirrels and fight songs without real words, it happened. It will probably happen to you, too. The bathroom stalls in Olscamp Hall tell no lies — it does get better. Three years ago, tears streaked my cheeks after I left my hometown. The scene seems so distant now because I know an imminent, ironic scene will eclipse it in my mind. When I walk across the Stroh Center stage this December, I’m certain I’ll wipe countless tears from my face as my life changes again. This time, the changes will be even more drastic, as I’ll say farewell to the only place I can now truly call home — this University.

PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST
Welcome to University! For some, this is their initial collegiate experience. For those who have transferred here, it’s their first time at our university. And for others, it’s a return to a known and familiar environment. There’s something here for everyone: difficulty and ease, the unknown and certainty, diversity and uniformity — in short, a microcosm of the outside world. But scratch the surface, and there’s more, much more. The faculty has voted to unionize, and negotiations are taking place between the faculty union and the University Administration over compensation and benefits, among other things. This tension between employer and employee
is being played out worldwide, from the debate last November in Ohio involving Senate Bill 5 to last week’s tragedy in South Africa. Recently, a building that housed the University’s Popular Culture Department was razed, despite efforts to save it. We witnessed the same struggle over a courthouse in Tiffin not so long ago. The current Presidential campaign is in full swing. Reverberations of it will be heard on campus, increasing with the approach of Election Day. Voter registration drives, rallies and possibly even debates will become common. In short, our campus is a mirror reflecting, however imperfectly, the world around us. But BGSU is much more. We are a university. Implicit in this statement is the central idea of critical thinking, which is much more than a mental exercise designed
to find fault in something or in someone’s position. It involves the examination of all the evidence, with the understanding that more evidence may be forthcoming, and this new knowledge may cause a change of mind, position or opinion. We are a community of scholars with two missions: the increase of knowledge and the diffusion of this knowledge. BGSU is at its best when we become both discoverers and communicators. Ideas are the currency around here. At our best, we understand that most of our knowledge is tentative and is subject to revision, amendment or outright discarding. This is not to say we should abandon the past and begin anew. Far from it; we stand on the shoulders of giants. The difficulty lies in determining those concepts that are truly timeless and those that should be discarded. This winnowing of ideas is,
in itself, a cause for debate and tension. Nerve racking? Absolutely. Are we sometimes adrift in a sea of uncertainty, seemingly without compass or lighthouse to guide us? Most definitely. Can this create within us a notion of humility, the realization that the more we discover, the less we know? It definitely should. Faculty and students alike are involved in this enterprise and should experience this tension. Those who don’t are not receiving the full benefit of a university education. This gauzy lack of certainty is also present in the outside world. The major difference is that the University community should acknowledge and even welcome it. We have strong opinions on just about everything, but we should be able to change our minds, hearts and positions

Congress needs New year brings personable reps traditions, memories MATTHEW THACKER ASSISTANT FORUM EDITOR
I want to start my first column of the year by welcoming everyone to another exciting year at the University. We here at the Forum page hope to hear from as many of you as possible this school year because we collectively aspire to be the echo of your student voices. For my first column this year I am going to do the traditional “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” column, because I am still pumped up about the summer internship I just completed. Anyone who has read my columns in the past knows that I really get into politics (and I am slightly opinionated) so this summer I interned with the Angela Zimmann for Congress campaign. Zimmann is a moderate Democrat, challenging the Republican incumbent, Bob Latta, in the newly competitive 5th Congressional District, which includes all

of us here at the University. I say our district is “newly competitive” because traditionally our district has been considered a Republican stronghold, but that is not the case now since the GOP-controlled state general assembly redrew the districts after the 2010 census. When they redrew the districts they did so in a way that gave Republicans new advantages in many of Ohio’s congressional districts, but added approximately 40,000 new Democrats to 5th District. This means Democrats have the best opportunity to win this district’s congressional seat in seven decades. That being said, there are still a lot of rural areas in our district where people still tend to vote Republican, so not just any Democrat will be acceptable to them. That is why I am glad Zimmann is the Democratic candidate in our district. Zimmann is not the average Democrat. She is a professor in the English Department here at our University, a Lutheran

The first week of a new semester feels different for everybody. For some students, the fresh start of a new semester brings excitement and fun. For others, the first week is just the newly visible tip of their impending stress iceberg. Whether you identify with the first extreme or the second, or find yourself falling somewhere in between, it may interest you to know that students have stood in your shoes ever since the University’s opening week in 1914. In the 1928 edition of The Key, the University’s yearbook, September marked the start of the semester and welcoming reception of new students and faculty. “Freshies feel more at home. Sophs put on airs, Juniors try to act nonchalant, and Seniors – well – Why not?” I laugh at the truth of this every year at Welcome
Back socials, parties and picnics when I see everyone trying to act cool from behind their sunglasses. September also meant “At work once again. No time is lost at this institution!” I thought the same thing when I noticed “Syllabus Day” (named for professors devoting the entire first class to going over the syllabus) turned into Syllabus Day Plus Diving Into the First Few Chapters of the Text Day. In the 1915 - 1925 Anniversary edition of The Key, readers are invited to recollect fond (and not so fond) class memories: “When you went to sleep in the Chapel. Worst yet – when you skipped and got caught.” How many of us take a day off during the semester “just because?” Sometimes, students need a little bit of rest and relaxation. It wasn’t any different for students of the early 20th century. “When you were late to Professor Overman’s class (Could you forget it?).” Many of us have had that one professor who never

Use kindness to kill jealousy PHILLIP MARTIN COLUMNIST Amidst a little devastation, God reminded me of friends He’s already blessed me with. Something weird (yet also good) happened at a picnic my church hosted in late April. Manny (pseudonym) sat across from me, as we sat with our male friends on that cool evening. I overheard their conversation about different bands. That was all I could do; I listen to different music. I wore my favorite argyle jacket. My hood was up, and my fists stuffed the front pockets as I shivered. Then, out of nowhere, two of my female friends (one of whom I grew close to this past spring) greeted me. Suddenly, two others did as well. And, from behind, a fifth female friend greeted me. She also complimented my jacket for the first time. As one of my resident advisers and a great friend in my residence hall this past year, she loved sharing her wisdom of faith with me. She might doubt her worth, but her strength inspires me to grow in my faith. After the five left, something pleasantly surprised me: While I was speaking to Manny, out of nowhere came Helena (pseudonym). She hesitated. Then, I stared straight into the picnic table, not wanting to make eye contact with her — not after a prior series of events.
GORDON From Page 4 let us live it down when we were late or otherwise disrupted class in some way, even if it was just that once. The embarrassment from being shamed in front of your peers is something that stays with you for a long time. In the 1918 edition of The Bee Gee, The Key’s predecessor, Charles H. Moses, ‘18, gives a humorous Ten Commandments for University Freshman. Among others, “Six days and seven nights each week thou shalt study, cram and
I overheard her dialogue with Manny as their blurred figures filled the corner of my eyes: “Umm... Let’s change this up... [Our group and I] are going for a walk. Just text us when you’re ready to go,” Helena told him. Then she left. “What just happened? Why did she do that?” I immediately thought to myself. Manny also scratched his head about this a few days later. I didn’t get a headache over it, but I figured someone else from her group would’ve spoken to him. Then, she wouldn’t feel weird being near me. I was also disappointed that she didn’t acknowledge me. That awkward moment disturbed me well into May. I battled jealously for her friends, for they heavily favored Manny, but less for me. Yet, in the light of that pain, God still has blessed me. Go back to the scene before Helena showed up. Manny has a special group of friends. But evidence suggests I do, too. Those friends wouldn’t have greeted me if they didn’t love me. And, I also confided in God, Manny and other friends in the weeks leading up to that picnic. The bottom line: the social life can be cruel. There are few times when I don’t draw the short straw. It sucks that you can’t be friends with everyone (even harder to believe that can be a good thing!). Some people will accept you for who you are. Others will fail to notice you — sometimes unintentionally. Then, some will full-out
exclude you. But, you know what? We forget the worth of blessings we already have. Once you start comparing superficial stuff like mutual friends, you’re going to feel miserable. Competition feels miserable once you notice its negativity. Competition ruined my childhood friendship. One girl was my closest friend, but I chased after another girl who wanted no part of me. Now, I barely speak to that friend. So, do what I’m learning to do. Stop comparing, and recognize all God continues to bless you with. Don’t stop with friends. Be thankful for your loved ones, your talents, your health, your education... Your life? Remember you woke up and (hopefully) got out of bed this morning. I’ve overlooked those good things. But I know jealousy or animosity towards anyone is not from God. Don’t eat those lies Satan cooks you! You’ll get serious ptomaine poisoning! When all else fails — when people fail — remember God’s love summarized in Psalm 103. That’s how much grander his love currently means to me. Hard to believe it never changes! God’s assurance of his love and blessings is all we need sometimes. I desperately need it every day. So, when we crave something we can’t yet have, let’s acknowledge God’s blessings first. God truly touched my heart when I did in a moment at a picnic.
worry, and on the seventh day thou shouldest review thy work.” Sometimes, it feels as if all we do is eat, sleep, breathe and study. “Thou shalt not covet they neighbor’s A’s, B’s...” It’s hard to keep jealousy at bay when a subject seems to come more easily to a classmate than it does to you. Though students were under as much pressure then as they are today, those in the yearbooks affectionately refer to the University as “Dear Alma Mater” and good ol’ “Bee Gee”. Students who’ve graduated long for “their girls from
the dorms” and recall fun gatherings such as dances, socials, sports outings and yes, even mention having had fun in class from time to time. Looking into the University’s past reminds us that we are not alone in our school pressures. Many have struggled through morning classes and have gotten grades lower than B’s. But they also learned a lot, studied hard and even enjoyed themselves throughout the year.

THACKER From Page 4 Minister and a member of the Ohio School Board. Perhaps most importantly, however, Zimmann is a Northwest Ohio farm girl with roots solidly planted in Ohio’s middle class values. One thing that really impressed me about Zimmann, after getting to know her a bit, was her sense of self-awareness, and her total lack of ego. Many politicians seem to possess an air of entitlement about the position they are jockeying for, almost as if they feel they are owed an elected office. This could not be farther away from Zimmann’s attitude. Zimmann projects a modesty that manifests itself as appreciation (for the opportunity to make a difference for Ohioans) and respect (for the people she will represent if elected) within her campaign.
PHIL From Page 4 in the light of new evidence. This willingness to change, this admitting the possibility of being wrong, is what distinguishes a university from many other human institutions. So, regardless of major, col-
WWW.BGNEWS.COM This was evident to me this summer as I attended numerous parades, county fairs and other events with the campaign. Whether in the middle of a crowd or taking a private moment to catch her breath, Zimmann always took the time to speak with a person — even those not in her district and, therefore, unable to vote for her. On the opposite end of that spectrum, her opponent, Republican Congressman Bob Latta, is known for being elusive and aloof with his constituents. In several of those parades I mentioned walking in with Zimmann, Bob Latta was also in. While Zimmann was walking the parade route shaking hands with people, Latta was usually riding in a pick-up truck and waving. That in itself provides the contrast between these two candidates — and it is a sharp contrast. A representative who gets out there and wants to meet the people they will be work-
ing for face-to-face, or one who feels like he can know all he needs to about you from 15 yards away through a truck window. They are running for the U.S. House of Representatives — the key word in the title being representatives. Zimmann wants to be just that, a representative of the people of Ohio’s Fifth District. I believe she will vote in Congress with her head and heart still here in Ohio (regardless of political persuasion and posturing) and work hard to make sure the area she grew up in continues to be a great place to live and raise a family. Before my internship this summer, my wish for America was a Congress filled with hard-working, dedicated, real people. That wish hasn’t changed, but now I think of it as a Congress full of Zimmanns.
lege or field of study, faculty and students should realize they are now part of a never-ending quest where the notions of critical thinking and willingness to change are central. If students graduate from BGSU with these ideas forming a part of their very existence, then BGSU will have done its job.
So jump in, preferably the deep end of the pool. The faculty is here to help and coach you. Nothing will come easy, but it’s the challenge that is the most stimulating and rewarding.

BG cross country to see new coaching styles The team adjusts to coach Lou Snelling’s techniques By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter
BYRON MACK | THE BG NEWS
KYLIE BRIEM, BG defender, kicks the ball up the field to a teammate to get it away from the net in a game last season. BG lost to Cleveland State 2-1.
Women’s Soccer loses to Cleveland State By Rebekah Dyvig Reporter
The BG women’s soccer team came back Sunday afternoon against Cleveland State stronger than they had Friday night against Michigan State, but fell to Cleveland just over six minutes into overtime. The final score was 2-1. Freshman Jessica Jarvis scored the first goal of the game and also her first collegiate goal at 37:18; she was assisted by junior Tracy Togba. Togba passed the ball to Jarvis who shot it above the reach of Cleveland goalkeeper Sarah Wood. “It was really exciting [to score my first collegiate goal],” Jarvis said, “but a lot of credit goes to my team for building it up.” The Falcons held the lead for about
30 minutes before Chloe Fadenholz answered back to their goal and scored the first goal for Cleveland at 67:58. She was assisted by Vickie Havas, who also assisted Allie Sieradzki in the game-winning goal. “We did a lot better coming from the other game,” said fifth-year senior Leah Johnson. “We came in strong from the beginning and that is something we lacked Friday. Everyone worked hard today.” Cleveland goalkeeper Wood played the first half, and for the second Becca Coleman took to the field and played the entire second half and overtime. Coleman made two saves and Wood made four. The Falcons goalkeeper, Becca Ison, played the entire match and made one save. The Falcons had
one “team save” in overtime when Sieradzki shot on the goal line, but sophomore defender Kaylee Draper blocked it. With the win, the Vikings are 1-1-0 and the Falcons are 0-2-0. “We need to take care of some things on our end and really focus on some areas,” said head coach Kellie Evans. “We need to do better next week.” This Sunday the Falcons will play IUPUI at Cochrane Field before they go on the road to play Minnesota, Western Kentucky and Valparaiso. They will return to Cochrane Field Sept. 14 to play Illinois State. The BG women’s soccer team will face IUPUI Sunday Aug. 26 at 1 p.m. at Cochrane Field. The Jaguars are currently 0-2-0.
The men’s and women’s cross country teams are preparing a bit differently this year than they have in the past. One year ago the teams were getting adjusted to the new styles of their coach Lou Snelling. This year they will be used to Snelling’s styles and working on getting better. “We want to continue getting better and take steps forward from last year,” Snelling said. For a coach, the first year at a new school is sometimes difficult, but Snelling said he had to make a lot of tough decisions for the team. “We made the choice to red shirt a lot of girls. We paid the price last year roster-wise,” Snelling said. “But we saved eligibility for down the road and focused on the development of our runners.” This year eight players from the men’s team will return. To say this team has experience would be an understatement as they return five seniors and three juniors. “Yes, we have a lot of good experience on this team; we also have seen some good development in our guys,” Snelling said. “Jason Salyer is one guy who took a good step at the conference meet last year. It will be interesting to see him carry it over to this year.” The women’s team is in almost the exact opposite position of the men this year. This year’s women’s team includes 12 underclassmen, including six freshmen. With the
loss of Saisha Gaillard last year, this team looks to Abby Koch and Taylor Stichter for leadership this year. “When two thirds of the team are red shirt freshmen you deal with issues by getting experience and working on fitness,” Snelling said. “The sky is the limit for this group.” The women’s team may be young, but the athletes have a lot of young talent. Kendra Kezur from Sylvania Southview high school in Toledo, Ohio, is a sophomore transfer from Cleveland State and was one of its top runners during the 2011 season. “She fits in the mold very well. She is young and her experience will help us,” Snelling said. “Jasmine Redman, Andrea Alt and some other girls will help us as well. It will be interesting to see them perform this year.” Along with finishing his first full season as the Bowling Green coach, Snelling has also received his first recruiting class with a total of nine freshmen. “This is an exciting class. They had very successful senior years, and expectations are high for this group,” Snelling said. “We should see several make a big impact right away.” Their first meet will take place Aug. 31 at home on the University golf course. The men start at 6:30 p.m. and the women will start at 7 p.m. “This meet is important for us since this will be where the MAC championship will be held in fall 2013,” Snelling said.

The women’s golf team begins their season early September, returns six players to the team By Clay Leser Reporter
The BG women’s golf team will begin its 2012-13 season early next month, looking to improve on what coach Stephanie Young called “a very disappointing finish” to this past season in the Mid-American Conference Championships. “We want to improve on our finish within the conference, first and foremost, but also continue to lower our scoring average as a team and for each individual,” Young said. “Our goals will include being competitive at every tournament and working hard at the golf course, weight room and classroom.” The Falcons have six players returning from this past year’s team, along with four freshmen. Sophomore Shelby Wilson led the team this past year with a 78.70 average in 23 rounds, while junior Bailey Arnold was second in scoring with a 79.48 average in 23 rounds. Arnold holds a 79.67 average in 43 career rounds. Young said Wilson and Arnold will be looked
upon for more scoring leadership this season. Amy Ruthenberg and Jen Blanchard are the team’s two seniors, Ruthenberg assuming the role of captain. She carried an 80.85 scoring average in 20 rounds last season, and has improved every year. Also returning to the Falcons are sophomore Patricia Holt and junior Kelsey Benson. Holt finished this past year with an 82.59 average in 22 rounds, while Benson had an 84.58 average in 12 rounds. “The schedule sets us up very well,” Young said. “There are opportunities to build momentum and execute success within our conference and region.” The Falcons open the season on Sept. 8 at the
Redbird Invitational in Normal, Ill. They follow with tournaments at Ursuline College, Michigan State and Cleveland State to end September. BG then has two more tournaments in October before the winter golf break. “This year’s team has a great mix of experience and youth, which should create a competitive environment for us this season,” Young said. “The chemistry, diversity and competition will all help our program get stronger. We are all looking forward to beginning the year together.”

CAMPUS BRIEF
Zimmann speaks on importance of education Congressional candidate Angela Zimmann spoke to a crowd outside the Education Building Tuesday afternoon about what she said she knows best — students. Taking time off to campaign, the former University General Studies Writing instructor spoke about her plans if elected. She also said she thinks Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are not student-focused based on their plans for millionaire tax cuts. Zimmann, Democratic nominee for U.S. House of Representatives in Ohio’s fifth district, will face off against incumbent Bob Latta in November. “It means that once students graduate school, our taxes would increase to pay for tax breaks for the very wealthiest Americans,” she said. “It means that we’ve worked hard, scrimped and saved for a college education and now would have to struggle even more when getting started in our careers.” Paying for college was a concern for freshman Sarah Ghose, who also gave a speech for the campaign. “Without student loans, I wouldn’t be able to pay for college at all,” she said. “They truly have been a gift and I just want to make sure that other

students are afforded the same opportunities that I have, and that’s why I am here today.” Sophomore Michael Hart said he supports Zimmann because she is a teacher and cares for her students. “She’s got us in mind,” he said. “She’s here surrounded by the students she’s taught.” The students Zimmann has taught are who she misses the most, she said. After teaching at the University for eight years, this is the first fall semester where Zimmann hasn’t been in the classroom. However, she said she hopes her time outside the classroom will benefit her students in the future. “Students are always near the top of my radar,” she said. “No student should support Romney/Ryan because they are anti-student.” Helping to stabilize the economy is also on Zimmann’s agenda. “My number one priority is working to balance the budget,” she said. “I want people to pay their fair share.” Zimmann has given multiple speeches at the University this year, including one in April focusing on student loan debt. She then spent her summer campaigning around the northwest Ohio area and fundraising for the election.

Greek chapters map out future housing By Tara Keller Pulse Editor
The Greek community recruits new members every year, and this year recruitment isn’t just limited to students. New housing options will be available for students to “rush” into choosing. Throughout the summer and last semester, students preferenced different housing styles, including stand-alone houses, residence hall style houses and a remodel of Founders for the smaller chapters. The University and Fraternity and Sorority Life will meet Sept. 6 to discuss the preferences and continue working on a map of possible locations and buildings. “We know essentially what we think we need to build,” said Steve Krakoff, associate vice president of Capital Planning and Design. “We need to see how [the buildings] fit

Assistant Dean of Students and see what they might look like.” The Fraternity and Sorority Life students will have input on which style housing their individual chapter would prefer. But they will also carry the financial responsibility for their housing, and it will be higher than any other residence hall. “Obviously we want people to be as realistic as possible,” Krakoff said. “We want everyone to be as successful.” Chapters should consider the price of each style and how many members they have who will fill beds and contribute financially, he said. This information will be presented to the Board of Trustees sometime in
Students to give input on future faculty hires University strives to employ ‘best,’ ‘brightest’ By Tara Keller Pulse Editor
When some potential faculty members come in to interview for a University position, they may be surprised to see the hiring committees’ newest addition — students. Starting this fall, students can have the opportunity to submit their names to have direct input over faculty hiring decisions.
“What we want to do is make sure we’re hiring the best and the brightest from across the world,” said Barbara Waddell, director of the Office of Equity and Diversity. “For me, it’s always been really important students have a voice in this process.” For the past summer and spring semesters, Waddell has worked with

the fall, and it will agree to or amend the housing options. “Hopefully we can have this in a pack to take to the Board at one of their fall meetings and get a recommendation from them,” he said. “We’re kind of approaching that last turn.” After navigating that turn, smaller chapters might choose to be housed in the renovated basement of Founders. “I think it’s a really great option and, of all the options, it is by far the cheapest and closely mirrors rates students pay today,” said Chris Bullins, assistant dean of students. “It’s going to be a great space for those small chapters and it allows for suites where you could have two to six people.” Although Founders may be suitable for smaller chapters, Sigma Kappa Chapter President Emily
Reichard said her chapter is looking at other options. “Ideally, we’d love to have a stand-alone house, but they’re expensive,” she said. “But I think we’re going to go with one of those condominium style houses.” Construction on the new housing will not start until after all the plans are approved, but Reichard said all her members are looking forward to the changes. “We’re all excited,” she said. “It’s something that people have been talking about and before it seemed more like a fable than reality.” Bullins said he is excited for all the chapter houses to hopefully be relocated to one centralized location. “It can improve relations among chapter members,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to learn more about each other’s groups.”

Hockey heads into season with high expectations, veteran team members
By Ryan Satkowiak Reporter
Since his first day on the job, BG hockey coach Chris Bergeron has been very public about his desire to raise the expectations for his team. In fact, it was one if his main talking points at his introductory press conference nearly two and a half years ago. “The expectations have to improve and they will
improve; that starts with me and my staff, and then the players will follow along,” he said on April 12, 2010, the day he was introduced as the seventh hockey coach in BG history. Internal expectations for the team have been high for Bergeron’s first two seasons as coach. But the team finds itself in unfamiliar territory as it enters year three of the Bergeron era: increased external expectations.
Those expectations come on the heels of one of the more remarkable postseason runs in the history of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Entering the tournament as the No. 11 seed, the Falcons eliminated Northern Michigan for the second straight season. They followed that up by shocking No. 1 seed — and eventual national runnerup — Ferris State in a dramatic three-game series to
advance to the CCHA semifinals for the first time since 2001. There, BG was minutes away from knocking off Michigan to advance to the final, but allowed a late third period goal and eventually lost in double overtime. How much higher those external expectations will rise remains to be seen — the conference has yet to release its preseason poll. After graduating only two seniors from last year’s team,
it is evident that the team is ready to graduate from being the underdog. “As far as we’re concerned it starts individually, every single person in this program has to take responsibility,” Bergeron said. “However, there is also responsibility to wrap our arms around these expectations and make it better. I don’t know if there’s an exact answer to that, but we’re going to continue to work and set the bar high
every single day. “But we’re not going to change anything because that would be the absolute biggest mistake we could make. It’s been two hard years, but there have been strides being made every single day.” Those strides can be seen in the talent and skill level present on the team this season.

The 2012-13 men’s golf season starts on September 9 when they travel to Huntington, West Virginia to face off in the Marshall Invitational. This will be a new challenge for them as they didn’t play this tournament last year. This will hopefully be a small change compared to what the team hopes to change this upcoming season. The golf team enters the season without a head coach. They came off a season in which they had a lot of ups-and-downs on the golf course. They had some invitationals where
they played at the top of their game and won, while others they struggled as a team to finish in the top 5. Without a coach signed yet, it will help out to have some senior leadership on the squad. This is what BG has with three experienced seniors, including Torey Brummett, Wes Gates and Charlie Olson. Gates has played in 131 of 131 rounds he has been a part of at BG. Olson shot an average of 76.09 strokes and played one of the best tournaments in BG history two years ago. Brummett is coming off his best season where he posted his season best 235 at the
Bearcat Invitational. The seniors will have to pick up the youth on the team as they do have three freshman and one sophomore this season. The golf team w ill make trips to Kentucky, Ca l i for n ia, A laba ma and Maryland this season. Another change the team wants to make is its performance at the Mid A mer ica n Con ference Championships where last season they finished fifth, eighth and eighth again on the final day of the championships.

Solis said he posted a message on his personal Facebook and the USG Facebook page about the initiative. “I went on social media and got students interested,” he said. “We got a great response.” Those names and majors of students went right to Waddell, who then organized them by major. “Really, we created a database of students who were interested and we will maintain that database,” Waddell said. “[Hiring committees] can literally access that database and make sure those students are available.” The hiring committees can access that list and pull in students who they believe will be a good fit. Students can still contact Solis or Waddell to put their names on the list for consideration. “I was thrilled to see that database,” Waddell said. “We hope that list will grow and expand.” Freshman Anna Weilant said she thought the initia-
