New program aims to bridge campus, city By Eric Lagatta Reporter
One of Daniel Gordon’s main goals when elected to city council was to improve relations between students and residents, and with his new volunteer program, Falcon Care, hopes to do just that. Students involved with the program will go to residents’ homes and perform odd jobs, such as running errands, raking or mowing, said Gordon, first ward council member and University graduate student. Gordon said he wants to use his status as both a student and resident to create a collaborative community service program between the city and University that will be housed on campus. “This is not purely a BGSU program, it’s the BG community as a whole,” Gordon said. The main goal is to connect students and residents while improving the view each group has of one another, he said. “Some residents see students mostly in town at the bars. What this will do will raise awareness among residents about how great the community service is,” Gordon said. “This will also teach students what everyday life is like outside of campus and it will show how welcoming and accepting our residents are.” While the program is intended for any resident who needs a little extra help, there is one group Gordon is focusing on in particular. “We’re going to try to make a special effort to help out with elderly citizens,” he said. Gordon said the plan is to have two students for each resident. “For students, it will make you feel more comfortable going to someone’s house,” he said. “The benefit for residents is the students will likely get

Sustainable fashion show seeks future models, designers By Abby Welsh Reporter
Fashion is always a season ahead, but this year will be about revamping the old. Fad Watch will host its 6th annual charity fashion show next month with the theme of reuse, recycle and reinvent. Fashion show auditions will take place Wednesday in 315 Union from 7 to 11 p.m. for any students interested. The show, The Story Is Now,
will promote originality, diversity and self-expression to students on Sept. 28 by the campus seal. Fad Watch will teach students how to reuse old clothes into somet hing new, said La’Nea Barnes, president of Fad Watch. “You can have older ga rments in your closet and we will show you how to revamp t hem and what to do w it h them,” Barnes said.
“Some people know what thrifting is but a lot of people don’t.” Patrick Stewart | Chair
Patrick Stewart, advertising and promotions chair, said the show will introduce models to thrifting, which is buying used clothes and making them into something current.
“Some people know what thrifting is but a lot of people don’t,” Stewart said. “People don’t know how to actually go there and get these pieces to make them into something that looks modern.” Stewart said he wants students to understand that buying expensive clothing isn’t the only way to look fashionable.

A former University football player is suing the University for damage inflicted by concussions he received as a freshman. Cody Silk, a freshman offensive lineman in 2010, said an ill-fitted helmet caused permanent neurological damage that stripped him of his football scholarship and prevented him from obtaining a college degree, according to articles posted Tuesday night on websites for 13abc and Toledo News Now. Attorney David Cook filed Silk’s lawsuit Tuesday in the Ohio Court of Claims, according to the articles. University officials were informed of the suit Tuesday, but cannot comment on ongoing litigation, said Dave Kielmeyer, University spokesman. Silk is still listed in the campus directory, but Kielmeyer is unsure if Silk is still a University student.

SOPHOMORE SARAH Waggoner, Nursing, and her mother enjoy beverages and the new atmosphere of the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro.
PUB From Page 1 Despite a delay due to construction and employee training, the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro opened to the public Tuesday said Sara Meyer, director of marketing for Dining Services. The Black Swamp Pub & Bistro features an updated look that will be popular with students and faculty, Meyer said. “There is a really fun feel to it,” Meyer said. “It has a real modern look, but is also very funky. You get the fine dining and pub-feel in the same location. I think students are really going to enjoy it.” The changes made to
the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro were obvious to junior Matt Adegboruwa. “Last year [at the pub] I felt like I could walk in with sweatpants on and it would be cool,” Adegboruwa said. “The lighting and new look make the new place seem more formal, like I would need a tie or something.” Fr e s h m a n Sara h Waggoner was impressed with her first experience eating at the new restuarant, too. “I really like it,” Waggoner said. “The place has a great atmosphere and nice glow to it. The staff was great and very friendly. I would recommend the baked mac and cheese that I had.”
The biggest reason for the renovations to the Black Swamp Pub was the lack of space in the kitchen, Meyer said. Renovations included installing a full kitchen for a more efficient dining experience. “There was no room to cook the food in the pub’s old kitchen,” Meyer said. “The kitchen was literally a closet.” More room to cook means more food options, said Tim Hoepf, general manager of the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro. “Now that we have a full kitchen, the differences in the menu and food we offer are going to be obvious,” Meyer said. “We can literally make any kind of food that we need.”
STUDENTS GATHER in the dining area for the grand re-opening of the Black Swamp Pub & Bistro on Tuesday in the Union.

Other changes include a new bar featuring domestic and seasonal beers and a space designed specifically for pool tables, Meyer said. “The bar makes a lot more sense,” Meyer said. “The old bar took up too much space, and while the new one is smaller, it has TVs behind it and has a more bar-like setup.” All of the new additions will be a promising addition to the University and its students, said Hoepf. “Our goal here is written right on the menu,” Hoepf said. “BGSU delivers an education worth celebrating. The Black Swamp Pub & Bistro believes that education includes developing, enriching and expanding your palate.”

New chicken restaurant joins the Falcon’s Nest By Kendra Clark
Assistant Web Editor
KELLY DEARTH | THE BG NEWS
RYAN BURBINK, sophomore, undecided, orders a four piece fried buffalo tenders and curly fries at Chickendipity on Tuesday.
Next to Panda Express, Chickendipity is one of the newest restaurants to be added to the Falcon’s Nest. The restaurant was installed in the Union during the summer and offers a variety of chicken dishes to students. “Chickendipity offers a choice of grilled, fried or wrapped chicken,” said Patrick Hannan, senior executive chef. “It’s a have-it-your-way kind of food.” There are five dipping sauces — parmesan garlic, honey BBQ, classic BBQ, honey mustard and classic buffalo — and the chicken is made fresh, marinated for 12 hours and grilled to order, Hannan said. “They also have curly fries, marinated in butter, milk and
spices,” Hannan said. Last spring, Dining Services considered bringing Chickfil-A to campus after Wendy’s contract with the University expired. This caused controversy among students who consider the franchise’s business practices “anti-gay.” “We needed a new place to replace Wendy’s,” Hannan said, “and [Chickendipity] solved the problem of the chicken concept for the students.” Students from the University made positive comments about Chickendipity. Junior Breanna Thomas said she enjoyed the restaurant’s fried chicken and curly fries. “I loved it,” Thomas said. “It tasted a lot like Chick-fil-A.” Graduate student Tara Milliken ordered grilled chicken tenders and curly fries.
“The buffalo chicken is also really good,” Milliken said. Graduate student Kristen Anthony was glad she could order a healthy option on the menu. “I got the grilled chicken tenders,” Anthony said. “It’s nice to have a choice with healthier food. The line was fast and the people who work there are nice.” Freshman Alexis Henderson-Coleman also spoke positively about the service and line in front of Chickendipity. “The food is good and you don’t have to wait long to get it,” she said. Chickendipity is open Monday through Friday and is closed on weekends. For more menu information visit dineoncampus. com/bgsu.
CAMPUS BRIEF
Local politicians, students campaign for Romney
On the opening night of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., dozens of students kicked off BGSU Students for Romney in Olscamp Hall on Tuesday night. Several area officials and politicians gave speeches in support of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and promoted their own elections for this November. In attendance was Wood County Commissioners Tim Brown and Jim Carter and Ohio House Rep. Randy Gardner. “We’ve got some Romney hype,” said senior Mandy Wise, chairman of BGSU Students for Romney. The goals for the organization this fall is to get students registered to vote and inform students about the importance of Wood County in national politics. “We want to get the conservative message out there,” she said. For the next few months, the group will organize a grassroots campaign around town, knocking on doors and hosting political debates. A representative from the Romney
campaign also spoke to students, emphasizing the importance of direct interaction with citizens. “Contacting voters is how you win elections,” said Frank Kohstall, the northwest Ohio field director for Romney for President. Kohstall represents over 20 Ohio counties but called Wood County his “most important.” Though he spoke for the Romney campaign, Kohstall did not specify or promote any of the candidate’s policies or positions. “I try not to get too much into policy,” he said. Junior Jeffrey Beverick said he attended because of his support for Mitt Romney. “I feel Barack Obama is incompetent,” he said. “Conservatism is leaving options opened to be used.” Rep. Gardner, representing Ohio State of Representatives 6th district, spoke about his experiences as a University graduate and his campaign for Ohio Senate. “This election is about how much we promise,” Gardner said, adding that he was concerned about rising taxes and textbook costs. BGSU Students for Romney will also convene to celebrate the Republican National Convention this week.

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “It looks a lot more upscale.”
EVAN CRAIG Junior, Theatre
Be genuine, open-minded to ease into college career LYDIA SCOTT COLUMNIST
It’s 7:05 a.m. and the much anticipated, yet secretly dreaded, moment arrives: my alarm is sounding in the background of my dreams, demanding that I wake up. I’ve waited 18 years for this moment, the one where I begin the most destiny-determining process of my life. Needless to say, my heart races with both excitement and fear. For me, though, these feelings are nothing new. I can taste history repeating itself as I roll from bed, beginning my preparation for the day. I know what to expect, but it doesn’t ease my anxiety. The déjà vu hits the pit of my stomach, making my head spin. Exactly two years ago I was in this same situation, starting a new school, ma k i ng new friends and adjusting to a new environment. Starting something new is never an easy obstacle to conquer, but my adjustment was easier than most because I’ve lived through this moment before. Albeit I was petrified to begin college, I learned a few tricks from transitioning high schools that made the process less intimidating. The first and most important of these is to just be yourself. There is absolutely no way for you to adjust if you’re pretending you’re someone you’re not. No one wants to get to know a fake person and trust me, anyone worth befriending will see right through your mask. Accordingly, if you parade around with some grand façade on, you cannot hope to obtain knowledge about your environment. The only way to get to know the University and the city of Bowling Green is to be you and to glean your own thoughts and experiences from it. In this way, it will grow to become a solace for you. My second piece of

advice to you is that it’s okay to question everything at first. I promise you are not the only freshman out there afraid to take a breath. Exhale, it’s OK. If you don’t understand something someone says to you or you come up with your own questions, please, I beg you, ask them. There is nothing more unsettling than an unanswered question. When the issue is important enough, it will gnaw away at you until you ask it to the wrong person or until it is too late for you to ask. There is nothing wrong with asking someone something; this is the process of learning. The likelihood of you being the only person with your query is unlikely; therefore, you shouldn’t be frightened to find out about it! Lastly, I’m going to leave you with one more simple instruction: have fun! Enjoy the people you meet, the classes you take and everything in between. In order to get the full effect of a new experience, you’re going to have to like it at some point. You might as well start this process today. If you’re serious about the transition you made last week, I highly recommend you learn to enjoy everything from making friends to writing papers. Delight in the fact that you’re here, alive and well. Don’t dwell on past failed endeavors because that will inhibit your ability to benefit from learning to adjust to a new thing. In closing, friends, I hope you learned something valuable from this. I passed on the three most important things I learned when I changed not only high schools, but states as well. Sure, there are more steps you can take to transition, but if you follow the ones I laid out for you, the others will fall into place nicely. I wish you all the best of luck and trust you will all be successful.

Political involvement Big or small, there is important at all ages no place like home MATTHEW THACKER ASSISTANT FORUM EDITOR
It occurred to me after writing my first column of the semester last week that many of you are new here at the University and don’t know me, which means you may wonder over the course of this semester, “Why is this dude always grumbling about politics and stuff?” So I figured that I would introduce myself to those of you who are new here, (or re-introduce myself to those of you who know me already) and let you know a bit about why I write what I do. My name is Matt Thacker. I’m 35 years old, I’m married to my best friend Jen and I’m the father of a beautiful 4-year-old girl named Libby (which is short for Liberty — she was due on July 4). You might say that I took the long way to where I am now (I’m a continuing senior majoring in journalism and minoring in political science).

I was raised in Elyria, Ohio until I was 16 when my dad retired and moved our family to rural southwest Virginia. At 15 I began playing music, and at 18 I helped my older brother form a bluegrass band. I played bass and sang harmony with my brother (who is an awesome singer), and he and I traveled (mostly on weekends) all over the United States playing bluegrass. I dropped out of high school and got a GED at 18. While playing music was my main career focus, I also worked jobs during the week to make ends meet. I was a substitute janitor at a grade school for a while and a garbage man for a while, but nothing that I was worried about doing forever. I was going to be a bluegrass star so I wasn’t that concerned. In a way, I never figured I would live to see my 30th birthday, so the future was not something I spent a lot of time worrying about. In 2006, my brother — who was also my best friend and musical men-

Listening to new acquaintances answer the question “Where are you from?” is like a game to me. As a journalist, I thrive on meeting new people, listening to their stories and learning about their history. I’m intrigued by the array of responses conjured up at the University, which represents every state in the nation and dozens of countries around the globe. Unfortunately, while playing this game, I’ve found it’s populated by cheaters. Phrases like “near Detroit,” “a small town by Columbus” or “a place no one’s ever heard of in California” frequently replace the vivid, unique descriptions I seek, and often people seem generally uninterested in talking about their hometown. When I’m asked where I’m from, the conversation usually follows a predictable script I’ve practiced quite often. I’ve spent
a good chunk of my life proudly convincing people that my hometown does, indeed, have a name. Even if you haven’t heard of it, you’ve probably visited it to ride the towering roller coasters sprouting out of a Lake Erie peninsula that’s nearly in my backyard. But if you call the city I hail from “Cedar Point, Ohio,” I’ll hastily correct you. The popular amusement park isn’t a city, but it is contained in one: Sandusky, Ohio. The city is about the size of Bowling Green, with a little more than 25,000 residents. It hugs the shores of Lake Erie, almost directly halfway between Cleveland and Toledo, and as expected, it is often eclipsed by the commercial colossus that is Cedar Point. As a high school senior preparing to head to the University, I couldn’t wait to get out of the place. I had lived in the same house, attended the same school and encountered the same people my entire life. Sandusky’s familiarity

THACKER From Page 4 tor — was in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Even after he woke up from the 3-month-long, medically-induced coma, traveling the way we always did (which was usually four or five guys and all their gear in a van) was nearly impossible. This meant the careers we had both worked toward for years were essentially gone overnight. Shortly after that, I moved to Bowling Green to be with the woman I loved. We married and she got pregnant, which meant I needed a new plan. I had just turned 30, and I had a new family to worry about and no formal education. I started attending Owens Community College in Perrysburg. I got my associates degree and transferred to BGSU, where I am now.

WIDMAN From Page 4 was growing dull. But after three years, my feelings have morphed into a newfound appreciation for the land dubbed “America’s Roller Coast.” Throughout the past year, I haven’t lived in Sandusky for more than a couple weeks at a time. I moved to Columbus this summer for three months to complete an internship farther than I had ever been from home. The two-and-a-half hour drive home was grueling and I didn’t complete it often. Suddenly, visiting my hometown became a privilege. And as a result, I became excited when I entered the city limits. Riding Millennium Force, my favorite Cedar Point coaster, was a rarity, not a weekly ritual. Sipping a latte at my favorite coffee shop downtown became more satisfying. And when a trip to Walmart resulted in me running into at least three people I knew, I now stopped to chat instead of
I couldn’t have cared less too, but being a bit older now, I see just how important it is. This is a common theme I’ve seen: You don’t care about politics and the larger world around you as much when you are younger, and you get more into it when you’re older. I find it important because political decisions are the ones that shape our world and impact how we, as a society, function within it. You might not pay close attention to politics now, but the likelihood is that one day you will (not everyone will, but most of you will be college educated professionals, which increases your likelihood of following politics), because it has the power to affect your lives in ways you may not be able to imagine now — from how much student loan debt you’re on the hook for to where your kids go to school (yes, most of you will have kids, though it may be hard to imagine it now). With my weekly column, I would like nothing more than to turn you on to politics and let you know
evading their line of vision. I guess it’s true — absence makes the heart grow fonder. Most college students probably feel like I did when I left my hometown for the first time. Bored with the familiar streets, people and places, they seek an adventure, a challenge, a change. I wonder, will they someday experience homecoming jitters like me? I hope so. Unfortunately, I think many students, especially college newcomers, are more apt to insult or mock their hometown than embrace it, especially if it’s a small place like Sandusky. But every city in this nation, no matter how big or small, has characteristics that make it special, whether it’s a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, notable alumni, beautiful scenery or welcoming people. This summer, I met a co-worker in Columbus who graduated from my very small high school in Sandusky. We instantly connected because of our similar small-town backgrounds. Within minutes we were joking about our

You all are the future of our country, and I am proud to be able to have a discussion w ith you about that. My hope is to be able to break down why these things should matter to you and what you can do about them, because even if it doesn’t always seem like it to you now, what you do, what you think, who you are and (most importantly) what you want our world to be in 20 years matters. It matters to me, and it should also matter to you. You can be in the driver’s seat or the passenger’s seat, but either way the metaphoric car is moving you toward your future.

Field trips can be beneficial EMILY GORDON COLUMNIST
As a kid, I looked forward to field trips as much as I did holidays. There was just nothing better than leaving our cramped, boring classroom for a visit on a spacious farm or a ride on a slow and steady canal boat. Field trips broke up the monotony of school days and provided what seemed like unlimited possibilities for the day to hold. But most importantly, field trips cemented what we students learned in the classroom. As an adult student in college, I have not gone on a field trip with my classmates in years. Class trips don’t seem to be done in college, or, at the very least, are rare. I assume the reason for this is a lack of funds, but with the amount of tuition
students pay, couldn’t something be arranged? The value of a field trip is certainly not limited to grade school students. This weekend, Toledo was one of six cities to participate in Navy Week, and I put together my own version of a field trip to attend. In a history class my freshman year, I had learned about the War of 1812 and the Battle of Lake Erie and found the material intriguing. But on Sunday, I actually had the chance to board the reconstructed ship on which Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry was victorious in the battle, the Brig Niagra. I explored the ship and met several sailors and marines on board. I learned how and what sailors cooked back then, how the ship’s cannons were fired and how the British surrendered during the battle. Sure, reading about each of these things will allow one to learn what must be learned, but actually seeing, feeling and hearing
about them in person was so much more exciting and memorable. I believe field trips should be included in college courses. There’s no rule stating course material has to be boring and traditional. Often, creative teachers make lessons fun and interesting. Field trips are the next step in getting students to be enthusiastic about what they’re learning. Students who want to go on their own field trip can do a quick Google search to find out what places in their community relate to their courses’ content and are available to visit. Field trips are worth the extra effort. After all, talking with sailors face-to-face about our country’s past and present Navy will definitely stick with me longer than any of my history class’s videos or slide shows.

When I introduced myself, if I had settled for “I’m from a small town near Cleveland,” or “I live by Cedar Point,” the situation could have played out very differently. Your hometown is a permanent assignment; you can’t change it, so why not embrace it? When someone asks you where you’re from, don’t cheat at the “Where are you from?” game. Beam a smile and proudly give a shoutout to your hometown. Give some more details. You never know what conversations it could lead to. And if you happen to hail from “America’s Roller Coast” and I haven’t met you yet, be sure to send me an email so we can talk about also being known as “that person who lives near Cedar Point.”

You deserve a factual look at . . .
Arabian Fables (II) More fanciful Arab myths to sway world opinion. Earlier this year, we published our message, “Arabian Fables (I),” in which we made clear how the Arab propaganda machine creates myths and lies with which to misinform the world. We discussed the myths of the “Palestinians”and of the “West Bank” and the mythical concept of “occupied territories”. In today's message, we shall address three more of these myths.
What are some of these myths?
cities, especially Jerusalem. The Arabs decided to call these towns and villages Jerusalem (“Arab East Jerusalem”). The Arabs “settlements”, with their connotation of illegitimacy have assiduously propagated the myths that Jerusalem and impermanence. The world, including the United is an Arab capital, that (after Mecca and Medina) States, is much agitated over these population centers Jerusalem is their third holy city, and that it is and, goaded by the Arabs, declares them to be intolerable to them that infidels (Jews) are in impediments to peace.

going the
distance Seniors Taylor Stichter and Josh Franek compete for their last season
By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter
Sports can be the best time of an athlete’s life. When your senior year comes around and you see it all coming to an end it brings back all the great memories and times you had with your teammates who became like family to you. But it’s not all sad memories; there is also the motivation that you get to finish your last year the best you can according to seniors Taylor Stichter and Josh Franek. That is what these seniors are going through this year. “The past four years have meant so much to me. I have made friendships that
I know will last a lifetime,” said Stichter. “I have made so many connections through the athletic and academic community and I know I will always have these people supporting me and trying to help me in any way possible.” Stichter is an early childhood major from Southview High School in Toledo, Ohio. As a freshman, she immediately helped the team by competing in four of the seven races that year. She set a personal record in the 4K with a time of 16:30 along with a 6K record with a time of 24:26. As a sophomore she ran in the first five races and as a junior she ran in all five of the team’s races.
She has grown from a freshman to one of the leaders of the team this year. “Over the last four years, I have improved a lot from high school. My coaches and teammates have helped me try to be the best runner I can be,” Stichter said. “Although I think there still can be improvement.” Stichter plans on going out to find a job in her major after she graduates. Even though she does not plan on continuing cross country, she does plan on running in marathons and triathlons. She does want to become a cross country coach though one day. “I absolutely love the sport and want to be a part of it for the rest of my
life,” Stichter said. Franek, a business marketing major from Crestwood High School in Hiram, Ohio, followed in his mom and dad’s footsteps by deciding to run cross country for Bowling Green as they did. But he did not originally attend the University. He transferred here after one year at Bucknell University. He has gone through a lot more than most people go through changing majors, and having many different coaches train him. “This continuously changing path has not only caused me to always be ready for change and uncertainty,” said Franek.
“It has also made my personal viewpoints, morals and values all change as well.” In Franek’s debut season in 2010, he raced in all seven of the Falcons’ races as well as setting a season best 8K record with a time of 27:08.2. He broke his that personal best next season in 2011 with a time of 26:05, he also performed a personal best in the 10K at the big stage of the NCAA regionals with a time of 33:24. He looks to continue that success during his last year. “My sister has definitely been the largest influence on me

Pessimistic thoughts BG plays Florida on Saturday ETHAN EASTERWOOD ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Men’s soccer to play Mich. State By Alex Krempasky Reporter
The BGSU men’s soccer team is returning to Cochrane Stadium on Wednesday after winning their first match 3-0 against the St. Bonaventure Bonnies. They’ll be facing off against the Spartans of Michigan State in their first of three matches against teams from the Big Ten Conference. Michigan State and Bowling Green have faced off against each other annually since the 2002 season and Michigan State won each year until last year
when the Falcons held them to a 0-0 draw in East Lansing. This will be the 40th match in the series between the two schools, in which Michigan State leads 17-16-6. The Spartans currently hold a record of 0-1-1 during the 2012 regular season. Michigan State lost in overtime on Sunday against New Hampshire after recording a draw against Valparaiso. The Falcons have been preparing for the game since their 3-0 win over St. Bonaventure on Sunday. Head coach Eric Nichols said that there has been an emphasis on playing more as a
team and focusing on BG rather than MSU. “We’ll introduce Michigan State to the team tomorrow,” Nichols said. “But we are more focused on BG right now.” Nichols said that one of the team’s greatest weaknesses is possession, which they have been emphasizing and working on during practice this week. “We need to communicate more on the field to improve our possession,” Nichols said. The team has been working on focusing on each game individually and making sure that they win the game then looking
forward to future games. “We are treating each game like a championship game,” redshirtjunior Brandon Silva said. It was also announced that junior goalkeeper Michael Wiest was named Mid-American Conference Player of the Week after recording seven saves against St. Bonaventure, tying his career best mark. The Falcons take on the Spartans at 7 p.m. at Cochrane Stadium on Wednesday, then finishes up the three-game homestand on Saturday with a match against the Marshall Thundering Herd.
When people find out my title as the assistant sports editor, the very first thing they sarcastically ask me is if I think our Falcons can beat Florida. I have heard a lot these last couple days about students thoughts about the game and very few are optimistic. Actually, several seem upset that we are even playing a game that they feel we will lose and lose bad. I am always optimistic as a sports fan and even more so as a writer, and from what I have seen with this team to date, I think we could. It’s a small chance, it really is, but I saw what Toledo did to Ohio State last fall and even though they lost, they were rewarded like they had won. I know Florida is a big school with many talented athletes, but they also have everything to lose. When a mid-major school goes into games like this, they have nothing to lose. They have been told relentlessly that they will never win, that they will embarrass themselves and that they

Women’s soccer hits the road to face Minnesota on Thursday By Rebekah Dyvig Reporter
This Thursday the BG women’s soccer team will face the University of Minnesota in their first away game of the season. Minnesota, 2-2-0, returns from playing two games in California where they lost in second overtime against the University of San Diego and then won against the University of Southern California. The Falcons will be on the road for six days as they play the Golden Gophers on Thursday and Western Kentucky University on Saturday.

The current Falcon team returns a lot of veteran players and has been given high expectations by the media as well as myself. Where the Falcons are young, they are talented.

We want to correct all factual errors. If you think an error has been made, call The BG News at 419-372-6966. The headline for the Women’s Soccer story incorrectly stated the team lost 2-1, when they actually won 2-1 against IUPUI at home over the weekend.
The Falcons, who are coming off of their first regular season win, are ready to play the Gophers and hoping for a win Thursday night, said forward Tracy Togba, a junior. “If we all come on strong enough we should be able to win them,” Togba said. “We just have to go at them hard.” Togba, who is from Orange Village, Ohio, was named this week’s Pizza Hut athlete. She scored the first goal in the Falcons 2-1 victory game over IUPUI Sunday afternoon, which was also her first goal of the season. She scored her first assist for the season in
the game against Cleveland State University Aug. 19. “Minnesota is doing exceedingly well this season and has a new coach,” said Falcons head coach Kellie Evans. “I think it is going to be a good test for us.” The Gophers new head coach this year is Stefanie Golan, who is a former soccer coach at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Sunday’s game was the first regular season win and also Evan’s first victory as head coach of the Falcons. “It has been really nice to open here at home,” Evans said, “but going on to the
receiver that has played any meaningful snaps last season, this position will be a focus point. Being this young and this talented may give us an edge. This means no scouting reports and young men with a lot to prove. Quarterback Matt Schilz will return and lead this young receiving corps, but this has opened up an entirely new focus for the offense. The run game that typically gets overshadowed by our previously pass-heavy offense has looked threatening. Running backs Anton Samuel, John Pettigrew and Jordan Hopgood have looked better than ever. More freedom has given
way to more speed and openings by the veteran offensive line. Offensively we could surprise Florida and that is an element no summer camp can prepare you for. Defensively, led by Boo Boo Gates, we might be overmatched. Regardless of how I feel the team will do, I will certainly stand by the scheduling of the game. There will be more positives from this game than negatives. We have the opportunity to learn from playing one of the best teams in the country and we will be broadcast for everyone to see, and that is something to be proud of. Roll Along.
field athlete.” Franek plans on pursuing a job that allows him to deal with the creative side of marketing, allowing him to put his business marketing degree to good use. “I love to be creative and think of new ideas. I would love to travel, explore new places and live somewhere else for the early years of my adult life,” Franek said.
These two seniors have put everything they had in their cross country career these past four years. “We appreciate the time and the effort they put into the program,” said coach Lou Snelling. “We also definitely appreciate them jumping on board with a new coaching staff and taking the program in a new direction as well.”

However, the best method to promote the program, he said, is himself. “I’m going to tr y to connect w it h constituents on a personal level by going door to door,” Gordon said. Jane Rosser, director of Service Learning, has been working with Gordon on organizing a sustainable model for the program. “It’s sort of in the conceptualization phase,” Rosser said. The plan is to start the program in its early stages this fall and see what works well, she said. One of the challenges

Falcon Care is also intended to be a yearround program with a presence during the summer months too, he said. Ultimately, Gordon said he would like this program to last years after being
established. “I want this to be a sustained program that will continue to exist here at BGSU long after it’s been started,” he said. Rosser agreed with Gordon. “It will only last if it’s meeting the needs of residents and students feel good about the work they do,” she said. Graduate student Mike Thurau learned about the program from Gordon and hopes to be a part of it. “I’m looking for ward to being involved and learning more about it,” Thurau said. The prog ra m wou ld be a good opportunit y for students who need volunteer hours or anyone who wants to get involved, he said. “There’s a lot of organi zat ions t hat require a lot of volunteer hours and this would be a great way to facilitate t hat,” Thurau said.
