Freshman Lauren Silcox keeps her Facebook page professional, not only because her family members might see it, but also because her potential employers might look at it. Sophomore Autumn Kunkel and her friends have made a mutual agreement not to post any incriminating photos of each other on Facebook for the same reason. Both Silcox and Kunkel have the right idea according to Pam Fahle, manager at Adecco Employment Services. Employers do look at potential and current employees’s Facebook pages to get a better sense of potential to hirees, Fahle said. “They look at just about everything to see if there’s any inappropriate material on there,” Fahle said. “It will open your eyes to see what people post on Facebook.” Adecco Employment Services, located on North Main Street, is a workforce solutions service that provides job seekers an access point to opportunities and resources, as well as services for employers looking for employees. Adecco does not hire people, rather, it assists people in finding jobs, Fahle said. She said she cannot turn someone away from their services because of what they put on Facebook, but employers the company works with do look at Facebook. “Sometimes questions will come up in interviews based on what an employer has found on Facebook,” Fahle said. “I’ve had some employers say that they’ve seen things on there that they just can’t hire someone because of.” Kunkel said she has also heard about schools looking at students’ Facebook pages. “I’ve heard of one student who applied to a college and had got a hefty scholarship and lost it because of what the college found on his Facebook page,” Kunkel said. “That freaked me out. Even though I don’t post anything bad on there, it still freaked me out.” Kunkel said she monitors what she puts on Facebook and

Mazey addresses University
Update Status The BG News
CAMPUS Students can attend the State of the University address Wednesday at 3 p.m. to learn about the University’s plans for the future. University President Mary Ellen Mazey will give the address in the Donnell Theatre of the Wolfe Center. She will outline the priorities and goals for moving the University forward, said Dave Kielmeyer, University spokesperson. Some of the topics that will be covered include “enrollment, research and economic development, and community collaborations and partnerships,” according to a press release on the University website. In addition, Mazey will highlight some successes of the past year, Kielmeyer said. The address is annual and will also be available to watch live online. The link will be provided in Campus Update, according to the press release.
Zimmann campaign continues
Democratic congressional candidate Angela Zimmann returned to the classroom Tuesday morning, answering questions from University students in a campaign event just weeks before facing off against incumbent Bob Latta. Zimmann, on leave as a University GSW professor to campaign full time, handed out fliers, offered internships and informed students on the race for U.S. House of Representatives 5th District. “I’m not a career politician,” she said, citing her background as an educator, mother and Lutheran minister. Asked about her first priorities if elected, Zimmann turned to election finance, which she argued played too important of a role in American politics. “Having candidates raise money and focus on that” was a problem, she said. Though she did not reference her opponent by name in the classroom, Zimmann stressed the importance of meeting with constituents and engaging with the public. Last month, she challenged Rep. Latta to a series of debates at various universities in the 5th District. More than 25 days later, however, her campaign said the Republican congressman has not accepted or even responded to the invitation. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said campaign manager Dan Lipner. Zimmann also talked about women’s issues, which she said was one of her top legislative priorities. “When I talk about women’s issues, I think for me the paycheck fairness is a big one,” she said. “I’m also pro-choice, and I say that hesitantly because I’m a pastor and I’m a mom, and I’m a foster mom and I love kids ... and yet I don’t feel like I can make that decision for you.” Another student asked her how faith as a minister would impact her policy decisions. While the separation between church and state was vital for government, she argued, she would not legislate religiously. “Faith influences us. That’s fundamentally a part of who we are,” Zimmann said. “Am I going to voice my views on someone else? I hope not.” The Democratic nominee met with Libertarian candidate Eric Eberly at an Owens Community College debate last month. Though she said she disagrees with his policies, Zimmann told students she appreciated being able to debate issues in the public square and that all candidates should be taken seriously regardless of campaign fundraising. “He has a right to be heard as much as I do,” she said of Eberly. The Latta campaign could not be reached for comment.

Graduate student conducts six-week study on insomnia By Seth Weber Reporter
Graduate Assistant Kyoung Baik believes getting better sleep can be as easy as thinking positively. Baik is conducting a six-week study on insomnia involving six participants, mainly including University staff, ending this month. This research is Baik’s preliminary research project for her degree progress because of her interest in a treatment known as Acceptance

and Commitment Therapy, which deals with accepting troublesome thoughts. William O’Brien, associate professor of psychology, said Acceptance and Commitment Therapy deals with accepting catastrophic or negative thoughts when falling asleep. “Like, if I don’t get any sleep tonight, I’m going to fall apart tomorrow and not pass an exam,”

To reach out to potential participants, Baik posted ads in The BG News, put the information in a Campus Update email and posted flyers around campus. For participants to be eligible for the research, “they need to experience sleep difficulty for at least a month, and it doesn’t need to be supported by any medical documentation or medical records,” Baik said. The concept of mindfulness is another approach Baik said she takes to help those with insomnia.

O’Brien explained mindfulness by using a hypothetical situation where someone has a weed in their yard and is constantly thinking about it. If he or she is able to coexist with the weed, then the anxiety can subside. If her or she replaces the weed with negative thoughts, this gives the idea of mindfulness. Both Baik and Craig Vickio, clinical psychologist at the University counseling center, expressed that insomnia and sleep trouble can be common among adults. “I think it’s very normal that many college students as well as adults have trouble sleeping,” Vickio said. Vickio said people who are under stress or prone to chronic worrying are susceptible to insomnia. It is also seen often in the elderly and individuals with depression, he said.
“I think it is fair for employers to look at what you’re posting because it’s what your personality is like,” Silcox said. “Employers can see what type of person you are outside an interview to see if you’re reliable and telling the truth.” Silcox said she always watches what she posts and uses a professional email. However, she doesn’t monitor Twitter as much because she hasn’t heard of employers using it.

DANCERS FREQUENT Uptown on Main Street for Gay Night on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Uptown extends popular Gay Nights to Fridays By Bridjet Mendyuk Reporter
Gay Night at Uptown in downtown Bowling Green now takes place Tuesdays and Fridays to celebrate its 25th anniversary next week. Uptown, located at 162 N. Main St. above Downtown Bar & Grill, has hosted Gay Night every Tuesday since the 1980s. With the start of the new semester, customers have had work and class conflicts that make it difficult to get to the bar during the week. To compensate, Uptown now hosts Gay Night on Tuesdays and Fridays. “People started to say they couldn’t make it out on Tuesday because of work or school, or they’re just busy, so we added another night a month ago,” said Jeff Hobbie, Uptown’s general manager. Gay Nights at Uptown consist of socializing, drinking, dancing, go-go dancers and drag shows at 11:30 p.m. and 12:30

of its former drag queens. Sophomore Hannah Leigh said she had a great experience her first time at Gay Night. “It’s a grand ol’ time where we can all come together and not get criticized or judged,” Leigh said. “The drag queens are for sure the best part of Gay Night.” Uptown will also be giving away two sets of Madonna tickets for her Nov. 10 show in Cleveland and another pair on Friday as a surprise for their 25th anniversary. Freshman Cody Fox said he goes to Gay Night almost every Friday. “I like going with friends and having a good time,” Fox said. “During the weekend [Friday] entry is free with a student ID.” Uptown’s Gay Night starts at 10 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday. Cover charge on Tuesday is $2 for those 21 and older and $4 for those younger than 21. On Friday, entry is $3 to those younger than 21 and free with a student ID or to those 21 and older.

a.m. on Tuesdays. On Fridays, there are also go-go dancers and the drag show is shortened. Senior Grant Gaver has friends who are a part of the LGBT community and said he enjoys the atmosphere Gay Night offers him and his friends. “Even if you’re straight, you don’t feel judged because everyone is having a good time,” Gaver said. “The drag shows are a lot of fun.” Hobbie said Gay Night has been “very popular” and is one of Uptown’s “busier nights.” Senior Caitlyn Peterson’s first time at Gay Night was for a friend’s birthday. It was a new experience comparable to some of the drag shows she had seen at clubs in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. “My first time going, I had no idea what to expect,” Peterson said. “I remember a drag queen did Beyoncé’s ‘Single Ladies’ dance and sang. It was so much fun.” Tuesday marks the 25th anniversary of Gay Night and Uptown will bring back some

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Free speech protected until it becomes hate By now, most people reading this are familiar with the effort to ban a certain preacher from campus. Perhaps no rights have caused more controversy than those in the very First Amendment. “Bible Bob,” as some have referred to the preacher, has free speech rights as an American citizen, but he also has respon-
sibilities, as do we all. Personally, I find his style to be downright hilarious, and regardless of my own views, I support the free speech rights of all. On the other hand, it is my understanding that “Bob” has crossed the line on more than one occasion, bordering on personal attacks and inflammatory speech. If this is the case, then the effort to remove him is more understandable.
A tolerant environment demands that each participant is willing to give, as well as receive, tolerance. As Oliver Wendell Holmes said, no amount of speech protection would allow one to falsely shout “FIRE!!” in a crowded theater. I understand the argument that we students pay for this university, and should have some say. I agree, but the University does receive public dollars, meaning that
the preacher also most likely pays for it in tax dollars. In general, he should be allowed to preach his message, annoying as it may be to some, but should also be aware that all freedoms do have limits. If he crosses those limits, then I would support the University if they asked him to leave.

BRIAN SCHMIEDEBUSCH, BG punter, follow’s through after a punt in the game during Toledo on Saturday. Schmiedebusch averages 46 yards per punt.
Punter Brian Schmiedebusch goes the distance for Falcons in first three games By Ethan Easterwood Assistant Sports Editor
Built like a linebacker yet can kick like a mule, punter Brian Schmiedebusch does not fit any mold. At a stature of 6’3” and 226 pounds, Schmiedebusch should be out there tackling running backs and receivers yet punted just under a mile and a half this past season in total distance. Schmiedebusch, from Ottawa, Ohio was a first-team all conference linebacker during his senior high school year as well as a state champion for his basketball team. However, most importantly, Schmiedebusch was a first-team all-state punter in 2009. Before transferring to the University, Schmiedebusch spent a season playing for the University of Findlay where he averaged just over 41 yards per punt, and earned all conference honors again. He was also named a second-team All-
American for the Oilers. In his first season with the Falcons, he made a name for himself against Idaho in the early 2011 season. He had averaged 55.8 yards a punt and had his furthest punt of his career of 81 yards. He would go on to follow that mark up with punts of 76 against Buffalo and a 73 yard punt against Northern Illinois. His ability to punt the ball so far was getting national attention for the Falcons as well as for himself. He was named a semi-finalist for the Ray Guy award, given to the nation’s top punter. He would have at least one punt of 50+ yards in 10 of the Falcons’ 12 games this past season, and averaged 45.3 yards per punt. In 11 of those games, Schmiedebusch also added at least one punt inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. So far in this early season he already was quoted as “looking more like a fullback than a punter,” in an article written by Mike Gillslee on ESPN.com. Schmiedebusch had a fake punt during the Falcons game
against Florida where he ran for 8-yards and dodged a tackle. During the play he refused to slide and was credited with earning an extra 15-yards due to a late hit by a Florida player. Against the SEC powerhouse he averaged only 38.8 yards due to a shanked punt inside his own endzone. He followed that miscue up with a 54-yard punt to his credit. In his other two appearances this season he has averaged 46 yards and has hit longs of 51 and 55 against Idaho and Toledo respectively. In 2011 his average ranked him second in school history, a mark he will be looking to beat this season as he has already been named to the Ray Guy watch list for the second season. His longest of 81, although very far, is still a few yards off of the NCAA record of 99, however his average so far of 45.3 is close to the career record for average of 46.3. On a team where the kicking game has been under a lot of scrutiny, it appears that something, the punter, is at least consistent.

Volleyball juniors lead the way for BG Penrod, Tonyan, Avila main contributors for team so far By Max Householder Reporter
With MAC play opening this Friday for the BG volleyball team, they have been led by players like Paige Penrod, Danielle Tonyan and Laura Avila. The Falcons have put together a team full of depth in many of the major positions. In fact, a junior player leads the team in almost all of the statistical categories including kills per set, total digs and blocks. Not too surprising when your team is made up of seven juniors, but as Penrod explains each players skills have developed throughout their three years playing together. “I feel like since we have been playing together we are getting better at averaging out what we can do,” Penrod said. “Freshman year me and Danielle [Tonyan] were hitting and Dunner [Ashley Dunn] was just passing, and I feel like the more we’ve been playing together our range has opened up a lot.” Penrod has really come into her own in the past few weeks as Monday she was announced as the MAC East division player of the week with her performance in the Purdue Active Ankle Challenge. Her performance is critical for the Falcons success because she is not just one of the better players on the team but also in the MAC. “We need her [Paige] to have good games,” head coach Danijela Tomic said. “She is our outside hitter who is going to get the most sets, and she plays all around so I would say that she is one player that we need to get going.” Again this class is not just one player, some of the others include: libero Ashley Dunn, libero/defensive specialist Libby Dachenhaus, middle in Kaitlyn Skinner as well as left side hitter Lindsey Butterfield. There is a wide range of talent among those four and that is not including setter Avila who leads the team in assists with 292 while averaging 9.73 per set and also Tonyan who was named First Team AllMAC a season ago. They are a tight-knit group on the court with how they communicate, but also off the court as they all have become really great friends. “When we all first got to BG we were strangers, and we would act like it,” Tonyan said. “But we all opened up to each other and now all seven of us are best friends.” They are still as close as ever and that is something yet to go unnoticed by Tomic. “I really enjoy them,” Tomic said. “I think they are going to be friends forever, you know after college and after this experience of
playing volleyball together I think they will be friends for life. I am just glad that I didn’t have to coach them when they were seven freshmen I can tell you that, you know I am glad that they are more mature now after going through freshman growing pains.” They are a goofy bunch and Dachenhaus said the most fun they have is probably on the bus rides home where they are chauffeured by their favorite bus driver ‘Rhetta’. “We have crafted plenty of good memories on Lakefront Lines and our bus driver [Rhetta] is absolutely amazing and we love to sing for her,” Dachenhaus said. “All of my memories of ‘getting weird’ on the bus will stick with me for a long time.” Most of the times, the song they sing for Rhetta is very original as in the team came up with on their own, and it speaks to just how fast she gets them home from their road trips Dunn said. “The lyrics are ‘Rhetta going 90 down the highway, Rhetta going 90 down the highway, Rhetta got us back on time’,” She said. “We just have a lot of fun together especially on the bus.” On the court, the team was all together for the win last year against Michigan State in the first ever game played at the Stroh Center. The atmosphere was electric that night, as that was probably the biggest win for any Falcon team at the Stroh Center to date. While the juniors make up the bulk of the roster, there are still some seniors on the team who make their presence felt night in and night out. Due to the mass quantity, that is the junior class, it would be easy assume that they are the leaders. And yet if you ask most of them they will tell you how vital the few seniors are to their success. “I feel that everyone needs to look to their seniors for guidance,” Penrod said. “And even though our senior class is quieter, that does not take away from their seniority and I feel like we [juniors] do respect them.” “We look up to them as much as the sophomores look up to us,” Dunn said. “I think because our team is so old, we all look at each other for accountability and takes responsibility for themselves and the team.” With only two sophomores, the Falcons lineup is made up of nearly 85 percent upperclassmen. Thus, when the Falcons take the floor for their home opener against Ohio University this Friday they will be the oldest team on the floor.

University payment policy is reasonable ERIK GOINS GUEST COLUMNIST In a past article, the BG News stated, “The University should have notified students earlier or should have considered not fully re-enforcing its payment policy from day one of classes.” This statement directly contradicts the purpose of education. Its basis is founded upon the principle that the University doesn’t exist to teach students, but rather allow them to merely exist and live in Bowling Green. I find it hard to believe the BG News has chosen to take a stance that advocates a calloused approach
MARTIN From Page 3 Brian Culbertson. “Dreaming of You,” the first song I heard by Culbertson, sounds so beautiful and peaceful to me, as dreamy piano keys play. When I need to satisfy my ears to the sound of the acoustic guitar, I listen to Acoustic Alchemy. I discovered the English ensemble when I showed my dad its “The Beautiful Game” album at a listening station in a Barnes and Noble, roughly ten years ago. It’s still my favorite album by A.A. Some of their songs – like “Positive Thinking,” “Caravan of Dreams” and “Lazeez” – are calming. My dad also got me into liking Lee Ritenour, thanks to hearing his “Wes Bound” album at home. And, there wouldn’t be any jazz music without any horns. I like sax players like Boney James and Eric Marienthal. I suggest you listen to the albums “Turn Up The Heat”

to responsibility. The University notified students four months in advance of the policy change. The BG News argues students shouldn’t be held accountable because, during the Spring they can’t be bothered with things that will occur in the Fall, and apparently students shouldn’t be held accountable for not checking their email during the summer. So let’s say the policy had been announced one year in advance, versus four months. By the BG News’ own argument, “ … students needed to focus on finishing out their spring semester strong, instead of worrying about something that wouldn’t affect them until fall semester.” If the announcement was made in 2011, students
would have postponed any effort to pay because this policy wouldn’t affect them until next year. I strongly believe the University has done the due diligence necessary to determine the effects of this change. I pose this question to the BG News, have you ever gone to see a movie without any money on the premise you just find a way to pay later? The world doesn’t operate on good faith alone, we are conditioned our entire lives on this idea. Anyone coming/returning to the University is well aware they will be charged tuition and fees. I cannot contemplate what thought process a student has where they don’t address this issue months in advance. Students know bills range
in the thousands of dollars; this amount should be important enough that students perform the due diligence necessary to find a necessary means of payment. Bills are technically due one month before the start of school. This means the students that weren’t allowed to move in were already one month late on payments. This is contrary to the idea that attending a four year University isn’t for everyone. Whether it is financial, time, or even mental constraints students need to make an educated decision before coming. In this case Bursar made it for them.
and “Sweet Talk” if you want to listen to the best of Marienthal. Then, some music turns me off. I’ve tried listening to heavy metal and closelyrelated rock music. My sister and others around our age can – I just can’t get into it. I can barely comprehend the screaming vocals, especially when they sound like death. So, I don’t consider it music. I call it “melodic noise pollution.” I could also never get into rap/hip-hop, let alone understand the culture associated with it. I know what you’re thinking: “You’re black, and you don’t listen to rap? What the heck?” I’ve always believed African Americans should better themselves and grow away from racebased stereotypes. So, most of the images associated with rap/hip-hop – saggy pants, expletives,
prostitution, degradation of women – offends me. And, Nikki Minaj scares the crap out of me! I also laugh to myself and shake my head when I see my Caucasian comrades trying to play this role. I just don’t understand that. Now, I probably would tolerate rap if I grew up in an urban neighborhood, like you might find in the east end of Newport News, Va., and understood the culture. Another thing I hate about music is when singers enhance their voices with synthesizers and other equipment. Authentic vocals come straight from the vocal chords. If you adulterate that, you adulterate pure talent. Let’s get back to music I do like. I grew up listening to Motown. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Supremes blasted
through the house on weekends and entertained family car rides to Virginia. I was thrilled to learn a fellow writer at The BG News enjoys Motown as well. Ironically, I also like country, even though I don’t listen to it much anymore. I know… this sounds weird coming from a black guy who despises rap. Keith Urban and Brad Paisley receive my approval. I also love Shania Twain and Sugarland. And, I occasionally listen to Bruce Hornsby and the Eagles. Finally, I enjoy a little Celine Dion, especially her duet with Barbara Streisand “Tell Him” (Thanks, mom). I certainly don’t think I have the “best” music taste, but I think it’s as wellrounded as any other’s.

GORDON From Page 3 employees from Topman, say the printed messages are not serious, that they are ironic and meant to be funny. I wholeheartedly disagree. When you’re objectifying women and comparing them to your own personal servants or dogs, you’re not being any of those things. You’re being a misogynist. And perpetuating misogyny is not only reprehensible and disgusting on its own, but it’s dangerous, too. It feeds into what is known as Rape Culture. Rape Culture, as defined by West Virginia school Marshall University’s website, is “an environment in which rape is prevalent and in which sexual violence against women is normalized and excused in the media and popular culture. Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety. Think linking casual misogyny to Rape Culture is a leap? Don’t think Rape Culture exists? Then tell me you haven’t noticed how these days, ‘bitch’ is used as a synonym for ‘woman’.
“And perpetuating misogyny is not only reprehensible and disgusting on its own, but it’s dangerous, too.” That if girls wear certain kinds of clothes, they are “asking for it.” How the word ‘rape’ is thrown around by gamers constantly when they lose a fight (i.e. “You just got raped by him!”) How “gendered violence,” as Marshall University calls it, is quite common in movies and on TV shows. These things are not “all in good fun.” They are not harmless. They are harmful. And we need to put a stop to it. How can you help? You can not buy offensive t-shirts or any other product that makes fun of women or any group of people, for that matter. You can speak up when someone makes an offensive joke or trivializes rape. You can treat others with respect. It’s that simple, and it starts with you. Here’s a t-shirt that I can get behind from product customization website Zazzle.com: Gender is not a punch line.

TORI MCCLURE, author of “A Pearl in the Storm,” and the senior and freshman construction management teams race on the pond by the Student Recreation Center.
Common reading author aims to inspire students By Devonice Gordon Reporter
“A Pearl in the Storm” is a book written by Tori McClure, the first American to ever row across the Atlantic Ocean and the first American to travel on land to the South Pole, where she skied more than 750 miles. McClure spoke at the Union Ballroom on Tuesday night to inspire freshmen students to learn from life lessons and to not be afraid to seek help from others. “My sense of helplessness is what drove me to take the challenge,” she said, referencing her journey across the Atlantic. The task was not easy. McClure took on the challenge once before, but had to give in because of the difficulty of traveling during storms and “having ‘capped over’ five to six
times,” she said. “Capping over” is a term used to describe a canoe flipping over. After her first journey, McClure was given the opportunity to work for legendary athlete Muhammad Ali, who she said gave her great advice. “A failure is not a person who falls down but a person who doesn’t get back up,” McClure said, quoting Ali’s words to her. “You don’t want to be known as the woman who ‘almost’ crossed the ocean.” She set off to take the challenge again and succeeded. “My inspiration was my brother Lamar, whom was developmentally disabled,” McClure said. A committee of 12 people from different colleges at the University chose “A Wanted PearlHelp in the Storm” as this year’s common reading Kidzwatch - bothfor centers now experience freshmen, hiring FT & PT care givers for saideves.
