Student veterans’ experiences differ Eight Keys to Success program gives military tips for colleges

FROM PENCIL to mouse

By Danae King Editor-in-Chief

Students have experiences that separate them from other students on campus, but they may not be years of experience serving their country. There are about 425 student veterans on campus that share a “camaraderie and pride,” said Amy Puffenberger, nontraditional student chair in Undergraduate Student Government. In August, the University released information that it was involved in implementing the Eight Keys to Success, a national initiative to help veterans transition to college from service. The hope with a program like this is that it will help veterans connect to others on campus, which is important because student veterans have a whole different set of experiences than other students. “So many students have not been outside this little town, they haven’t experienced diversity,” Puffenberger said. Sophomore Jessica Gregor, 24, served in the Air Force before coming to the University to get her degree in Applied Health Sciences. She said she feels completely welcomed as a student at the University, but her experience as a veteran is different. “I can’t really say much about that experience because there isn’t much of one,” she said. “All the inclusiveness they’re trying to claim for my veteran status I just don’t feel whatsoever.” Barbara Henry, assistant vice president of Nontraditional and Transfer Student Services, said she may not be alone in feeling the loss of her veteran identity. “Through programming with student veterans, we hope to address that issue,” she said. Puffenberger is a veteran herself. She said she understands Gregor’s experience. “Now that I’m on campus, I’ve kind of put that identity aside,” she said. “It

Teacher evaluations to change to online format for green initiative By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor

nstead of taking the time in class to fill out teacher evaluations, students will soon be able to complete the forms online. A new software is available to the different colleges to allow them to do online teacher evaluations through Canvas. Sheri Kellogg, director of applications with Internet Technology Services, said the plan is to be 100 percent migrated from Blackboard to Canvas by the end of 2013. Blackboard had an evaluation option on it, which is why the office made one for Canvas. “Going to Canvas, we needed to have replacement tools,” she said. One of the reasons the evaluations are transitioning to online is to use less paper. “We have the green initiative and our goal is to be online as much as we can, and we found a tool that we think meets everybody’s needs,” Kellogg said. Each college can decide if and when they want to implement the new evaluations.

Health Center to add specialists, gynecologists Students will be able to visit physicians spring semester, first of variety of doctors By Dylanne Petros Copy Chief

Starting soon, female students will be able to go to the Falcon Health Center for their yearly check-ups. The Falcon Health Center is looking to add three gynecologists to its list of physicians this spring. Gynecologists will be the first, but not last, group of specialists to make their way to the Falcon Health Center. “I believe that … with the collaborative efforts between [the University] and Wood County Hospital, and planning going forward, we wanted to do connectivity through the specialists,” said Deb Busdeker, director of operations of the Falcon Health Center. “I believe that gynecology was the first one that rose to the top with a need.” Busdeker believes the University has not had a gynecologist before because the University’s health center was “alone.” “[The health center] only had so

many resources,” she said. To prepare for the three gynecologists that are coming in the spring, the Falcon Health Center has already brought in trained practitioners. “We have added two new women’s health practitioners … so that’s a step, too, that’s a little bit different [from previous years],” Busdeker said. Freshman Brittany Sigler said that depending on the insurance that the health center takes, she would go to the gynecologist. “It makes it real convenient to have a gynecologist so close,” she said. There are some specialists already in place because of immediate student needs. “We already have an orthopedic relationship, especially with athletics,” Busdeker said. Busdeker also said the Falcon Health Center is looking into other student needs, like skin care. “When you think about the age group, and what some of the needs are, I could see maybe dermatology,”

she said. Freshman Elizabeth Painter thinks having the specialists so close to campus is good. “You end up saving money because you don’t have to buy gas and go home for those appointments,” Painter said. The reason the health center never had a dermatologist before was probably due to financial reasons, Busdeker said. “For a dermatologist to establish an office in a small community they have to be sure they have enough population … to fill a schedule,” she said. It would be hard for a dermatologist to work at just the University. With the help from Wood County Hospital, though, a dermatologist might be able to work in Bowling Green, Busdeker said. “By teaming up together we can probably support something a little easier,” she said.

Some teachers allow students to decide classroom policies Karen Meyers

By Danae King Editor-in-Chief

Some faculty members are using a new teaching approach that rejects lecturing and embraces student involvement. Called the Learning Centered Approach, Karen Meyers described it as the teacher not being the “sage on the stage,” but instead, the “guide on the side.” “In a teacher-centered approach, I decide what aspects I want to teach, regardless of where students are and what they know,” said Meyers, assistant director of the Center for Teaching and Learning. “The Learning Centered Approach tries to find out what students know and where they are, so information can be pitched in the best way for them.” The approach can be used through a variety of strategies in the classroom, Meyers said. Some teachers are beginning to use it in different ways. For

Assistant Director, Center for Teaching and Learning example, some let their students decide classroom policies such as attendance and cell phone usage. Other teachers use it instead of lectures and multiple choice tests, getting students’ responses to the material through clickers and having students work together in groups, among other things. Stephen Langendorfer, professor in the school of Human Movement, Sport and Leisure Studies, uses the approach in his classes through online quizzes with the purpose of teaching the student, not testing them; focusing on learning outcomes and putting the responsibility on the student to “actively construct their own knowledge.”

Students can fill out comment cards when they visit the Falcon Health Center or they can go to one of the health advisory board panels during the semester to give input on what specialists they believe the University should offer. The next panel will be in October.

Freshman Rebecca Wait said the convenience of the evaluations being online is definitely a positive thing. “It sounds more convenient, and it is less likely that they will get lost in the shuffle,” she said. Despite the ease of the online evaluations, Wait said she would be more likely to do them in the classroom. Sophomore Josh Cluney said that since professors will not make the evaluations mandatory, there will be less people who complete them. “I probably won’t be doing them,” Cluney said.

I’m a hands on person so doing something makes me remember it better.” Instructors can’t do the same quality of teaching by talking at students, “you have to give

There are other programs currently being used by some of the other colleges, but this will be the first centrally administered course evaluation service by ITS, Schumacher said. One of the main concerns from professors could be the accuracy of the information. “If only a small number [of students] respond, it doesn’t give the faculty member much confidence in what is being said,” said John Hoag, senior associate dean for the College of Business and a professor.

“Everyone sort of likes it because it puts the focus back on the learner.” Stephen Langendorfer | Human Movement professor them something else,” Langendorfer said. “Every teacher I know knows implicitly that just because I’ve taught it doesn’t mean students have learned it,” he said. Freshman Molly Davis is an early childhood education major and said her classes are mostly lectures this semester, but she prefers being in a group for activities. “I think I’ll teach more with groups, especially with little kids, because it’s how they learn best is by being hands-on,” Davis said. As far as teachers being the “guide on the side” as Meyers said, Davis said she thinks it would be helpful sometimes. “But sometimes it’s nice that the teacher is telling you what you need to know and other times being in a group and learning from others is good,” she said.

think it is a good idea for professors to require the evaluations. “If you force people to do stuff it doesn’t work out as well as you like,” he said. Dale Klopfer, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said it uses a program where the graduate students in the psychology department have their evaluations online, but the undergraduate students still do evaluations on paper. “Before they went online we used to have a high return rate with the graduate classes, but now it’s a lot lower,” he said.

The Eight Keys to Success on campus are: 1. Create a culture of trust and connectedness across the campus community to promote well-being and success for veterans. 2. Ensure consistent and sustained support from campus leadership. 3. Implement an early alert system to ensure all veterans receive academic, career, and financial advice before challenges become overwhelming. 4. Coordinate and centralize campus efforts for all veterans, together with the creation of a designated space (even if limited in size). 5. Collaborate with local communi-

seems to me that veterans and nontraditional students in general go to class and go home and don’t want to be involved, but maybe that’s a misconception.” Eric Buetikofer, transfer adviser and recruiter in NTSS, advises students to get involved on campus by joining clubs and activities. “I find too many veteran students who view BGSU as a place you take classes and go home,” he said. “The more they get connected on the BGSU campus, the more they feel like BGSU is a home.” Senior Geoff Roberts, 26, was in the Army and said he thinks veterans just have a different approach to college than other students do. “I think because we’ve seen the world,” he said. “We view education as more of a career builder. We’re just like everyone else in a sense but at the same time we’re different.” Puffenberger said she wants students to know there are resources if they’re feeling the way Gregor does. “We just need to let [veterans] know there’s people out there they can bring their issues and concerns to,” Puffenberger said. One place students can bring their issues and concerns is USG, Puffenberger said. The University is also making strides to be more welcoming to veterans through a national initiative called the Eight Keys to Success.

ties and organizations, including government agencies, to align and coordinate various services for veterans. 6. Utilize a uniform set of data tools to collect and track information on veterans, including demographics, retention and degree completion. 7. Provide comprehensive professional development for faculty and staff on issues and challenges unique to veterans. 8. Develop systems that ensure sustainability of effective practices for veterans.

*Information according to the official blog of the U.S. Department of Education. The Eight Keys to Success were developed by the Obama Administration, the Department of Education and the Department of Veterans Affairs. According to the official blog of the U.S. Department of Education, they “are eight concrete steps that institutions of higher education can take to help veterans and service members transition into the classroom and thrive once they are there.” When the University released the information, Gregor saw it and wrote to The BG News saying she wasn’t “actually seeing any realworld implementation over the last year that I’ve attended school here.” Buetikofer said the University being recognized for the Eight Keys doesn’t mean veterans will notice a big change. “We’ve been meeting these standards,” he said. “I don’t think they’re definitely going to see a big change ... I think that might be a misconception.” But the University is still going further in reaching out to veterans. One of the programs the University hopes to implement is peer mentoring, Buetikofer said. The program will involve an upperclassman student veteran mentoring a first year student veteran, he said. “The University has some great programs and great services ... but I do think there’s work to be done,” Puffenberger said “[We need to] reach out to students and celebrate that aspect of their identities.”

BG wins second straight home game, comes back after first half deficit By Alex Krempasky Sports Editor

The BG football team came back to defeat the University of Akron Zips 31-14 after falling behind 14-3 in the first quarter. “I’m really proud of them,” head coach Dave Clawson said. “I believe Akron is a good football team. I think before the year is over they’re going to win some football games. They’re a lot more physical than they’ve been and that game was a battle. I’m really proud of our team for the way we bounced back.” The offensive line had a rough start to the game, allowing the Zips to sack BG quarterback Matt Johnson six times during the half. “I think coming out we underestimated them just a little bit,” running back Travis Greene said. “Second half we went in and made the corrections and picked everything up.” Despite the rough start for the line, Greene was able to rack up 95 yards during the first half. He was able to collect 50 yards in the second half for a total of 145 against the Zips. This marked Greene’s third game with over 100 yards rushing. “We thought it was going to be a tough game,” Greene said. “We did a great job executing.” Kicker Tyler Tate hit a 29-yard field goal for BG’s first points of the game early in the first quarter. The Falcons were trailing 14-3 at the end of the first quarter but they were able to

Women’s soccer starts conference Falcons sweep Huskies, remain undefeated in MAC schedule with two losses, remain winless Volleyball wins three straight sets in front of second largest crowd By Noah Jones Reporter

The Falcon volleyball team swept the Northern Illinois University Huskies in a rematch of this past year’s Mid-American Conference championships Saturday. Saturday night’s crowd of 1,503 was the second biggest volleyball crowd in Stroh Center history. Head coach Danielja Tomic said the coaching staff’s goal was to take pressure off the players because it was a repeat of the MAC championship game and a nationally televised game. “[Being 2-0 in the MAC] feels much better than being 0-2,” Tomic said. “It’s a great, new beginning to our [MAC] season that we started last week and I am so proud of our

team. They deserve it, they have been working so hard and I’m hoping they are seeing the benefits of all that hard work.” Team captain Lindsey Butterfield, an outsidehitter, showed off her hard work Saturday night, leading the team in kills with 11 recorded. Her counter part, Paige Penrod recorded 10 kills. All five Falcon players to record kills had at least four kills during the match. “[The setters] did a great job setting everyone,” Butterfield said. “Their distribution to everyone was great, and they did a great job getting everyone involved. When everyone is involved and being aggressive, that’s our character. That’s what we want to bring every night.” The two setters, Erica

Fullenkamp and Laura Avila, had a combined 30 assists. The Falcons had control of the match from the first to third set winning; 25-20, 25-21 and 25-19. The BG defense looked strong as they gave up 28 kills and produced 48 team kills on offense. Middle Kaitlyn Skinner had the highest attacking percentage with .800. “Whenever there is a hit, teams like to crash in, and I love pushing the ball deep to the corners of the court,” she said. Tomic said the control of tempo during the match was credited to “our best serving game” and keeping the Huskies out of sync. “It’s great to make a

Falcons lose away games at Ohio University, Kent State during weekend By Tara Jones Reporter

The BG women’s soccer team fell to both Ohio University and Kent State University on their opening weekend of Mid-American Conference play. The Falcons lost 3-1 to Ohio on Friday night and 5-1 to Kent State Sunday afternoon. Bowling Green senior Kaitlyn Tobin scored an early first-half goal for the Falcons in Athens, but Ohio’s second-half comeback proved to be too much for BG to handle. All of Ohio’s three goals came in the second half, two of which were only about two minutes apart. The Bobcats dominated in shots taken throughout the match, taking a total of 21 to BG’s 5. Ohio also tallied 15 corner kicks, whereas

Bowling Green had none. Ohio advanced to 5-2-2 on the season and 1-0-0 in the MAC, and with the win against BG added to its now six game winning streak. Tobin’s goa l, which came just before the nine minute mark in the first half, marked the first goal allowed by the Bobcats in nearly 290 minutes of action. Head coach Lindsay Basalyga attributes the Bobcats’ second-ha lf comeback to moments of failed disciplinary defense by the Falcons. “We played a really good first half of soccer today,” said Basalyga. “But, we became undisciplined defensively at moments in the second half and Ohio found a way to capitalize. We are still trying to find the right combination of

players to compete for 90 minutes consistently.” The Falcons lost their second game of the weekend, falling to Kent State 5-1. BG senior Madeline Widema n scored t he lone goal of the game for the Falcons in the second half. Compared to their match at Ohio, the Falcons managed to get off more shots but the Golden Flashes still had a 27-16 advantage. Kent State scored two goals in the first half, and three in the second. Kent advanced to 6-4-0 overall and 1-1-0 in the MAC. BG’s starting goalkeeper, Lauren Cadel, who typically plays an entire match and ranks among the top 10 in the nation in saves per game,

Current students more open to lesser paying careers davood dadfar COLUMNIST Should college students pick majors solely based on what makes them happy, or should they compromise with majors that provide them financial stability as well as a tolerable career path? Today’s generation of students seem to be more concerned about the state of their emotional well-being than the size of their pocketbooks. As a result, we have been left with a diversified group of graduates who are either searching for jobs or struggle to make ends meet. So, should we embrace the students that pick these majors, or should we try to persuade them to pick areas of study that can lead to a higher paying profession with better rates of employment? Indeed doing what you love can be satisfying in life, but if you’re poor in the process and struggle to keep the electricity on then you may as well be doing something you hate. Today’s college students are more capable than generations before them. Yet, when it comes time to make one of the most important decisions of your life it’s important to be slightly rational in addition to emotional. In today’s society, an infinite amount of resources exist. There is no excuse to fail at receiving an education. At the same time, however, there is no excuse not to be financially independent and self-sufficient. Unfortunately, in addition to being more capable, we have also become more dependent. Many people argue that society indirectly

subsidizes the unemployed prospective actress who roams the streets of New York looking to land a lead role with nothing more than a degree in theater. While there may be some truth to that, these same critics neglect to acknowledge the value individuals in the arts add to our society and culture. Either way you look at it, employment levels for these graduates still don’t look too promising. While it’s important to possess a diverse society, it’s equally important to possess a valuable one. Humans tend to have a poor perception of happiness. In the example of selecting a major, many students may be certain that a liberal arts degree may be their true calling while they’re 18 years old. Yet, they still fail to calculate for their financial future, as well as the profession that’s most likely to be continuously rewarding even as their own character and personalities grow and develop. Your passion may only be your passion if it’s enjoyed on the weekends as opposed to five days a week to make a living. It’s even more important for individuals to identify with themselves on how they want to impact the world, not just professionally, but also as a human being. Where we go and who we become are all questions that may never have any clear answers, but remaining open and optimistic about the future allows us to be more rational and flexible to the inevitable tides of change, the only thing that’s constant in life.

staff started standing at the end of lines and denying service to students. I made the cut, getting there before 7:30 a.m. but was only 1 person away from not making it. I went to Steak Escape and, along with them, all the other places had finished serving the people in their lines by 7:45 p.m. It’s hard enough with students like myself who are busy all day to try to get a meal before the 8 p.m. shut down, but shutting down early is just ridic-

ulous. I think if you say your hours are going to be until 8 p.m., you should be serving students until that time. With the Dining Services’ vision statement being “Aspiring to be recognized by our customers as providing outstanding service, quality food and value in a clean and pleasant environment,” you would think they would care more about serving the students. — Elizabeth Priebe, epriebe@bgsu.edu

Change in Catholic church for the better Abigail kruse COLUMNIST

The Catholic Church has a history of marginalizing women. For centuries, altar servers in Catholic churches around the world were exclusively male by church law, a reflection of the priesthood itself. An altar server, or acolyte, is an assistant to the priest. The same was true in the United States until 1983, when the Code of Canon Law, c. 230.2, was interpreted so as to allow female altar servers at the discretion of the local bishop. In March 1994, a clarifying letter was issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments. There was another letter in July 2001 reaffirming that, making clear that bishops were under no obligation to allow female altar servers. Today, several archdioceses in the U.S. have bans on female altar servers, including ones in Arizona, Nebraska and Virginia with the rationale that a boys-only ministry would encourage interest in the priesthood. St. Thomas More was one such parish for the past seven years. I first attended St. Thomas More as a transfer student this past fall. Altar servers there were exclusively male, a rule that bothered me. I was raised in a Catholic household. My mother made no bones about her disdain about the ban against female ordination and female servers. From an early age she

“I was raised in a Catholic household. My mother made no bones about her disdain about the ban against female ordination and female servers.” urged me to differentiate between laws of God and laws of man. According to an article by The Washington Post, one mother of two serving daughters at Corpus Christi Church in Phoenix was so upset by her church’s 2011 decision that her family and many others left to attend elsewhere. She “burst into tears and ran into the bathroom,” which sounds like what I would do. As a [possible] future mother, I could not look my daughter in the eyes and tell her that such a decision is right. Keep disenfranchising women and pretty soon there won’t be a congregation to minister to. The new pastor, who assumed priestly duties on July 1, has reversed this decision, opening up the lay ministry to include not only college-aged females but younger ages as well. While the decision has been met with disagreement from some in the parish, it also has its fans. I wholeheartedly commend and thank the new pastor for reversing this decision.

Falcons win two against Bearcats By Zack Carreon Reporter

The BG Men’s Rugby Club took both ends of a double header against Cincinnati in Mid A mer ica n Conference rugby action on Saturday by scores of 53-14 and 56-12. The victories set up next week’s match between the conference’s only undefeated teams — BG and Miami University. The first half was dominated by BG. The Bearcats managed to cross the 50 yard line twice in the first half. W hile owning the pathways to the end zone, the Falcons also stole seven of the Bearcats scrums, eight of their line-outs and forced turnovers on six of Cincinnati’s kickoffs. With the large amount of

turnovers by the Bearcats, it was no surprise that the Falcons jumped out to a 39-0 lead on a team that had early season title aspirations. Wing Nolan Cavano scored twice on a pair of long runs up the sideline. Cavano, who crossed the goal line sixteen times this past fall, is on pace to break that mark this fall. Prop Dane Szente added a try and two conversions and hooker Mike Brown, fullback Matt Marquette, scrum half Mike Powell and fullback Mitch Sora added solo tries. ”We came out like a ball of fire in the first half, aggressive and forcing [Cincinnati] turnovers,” said BG captain Dane Szente. “But we slacked off in the second half and

VOLLEYBALL From Page 3 statement early in the MAC,” Butterfield said. “I think we did a great job with our serves and keeping [NIU] out of their system. When we take them out of system we can dictate, and that’s what we want to do with every match.” Skinner, Fullenkamp and Avila recorded aces. Libero Ashley Dunn led the servers with two aces. The Falcons will take on Kent State Friday and No. 22 Ohio Saturday; both weekend games are away games. The flashes are 7-7 on the season and 1-1 in the MAC, and Ohio is 12-2 and like BG, are 2-0 in the MAC.

In her collegiate reg ularseason debut, Den ley recorded three saves and allowed three goals. This ga me presented ma ny firsts for the Falcons, as Basalyga said. “ We w er e pr e s ente d w it h ou r f i rst cha l lenge of t he s e a s on, b ei ng 2- 0 dow n at t he ha l f,” Ba sa lyga sa id. “T h is wa s ou r f i rst Fr iday/Su nday spl it of t he ye a r, a nd a lt houg h I don’t t h i n k ou r f it ness wa s a n issue, ou r menta l it y to prepa re for t he s e c ond g a me of t he we ekend w a sn’t good enoug h.” T he Fa lcon s, now 0-8-0 overa ll and 0-2-0 in the MAC, will return to Cochrane Field w it h a pair of home matches nex t weekend.

got a little sloppy and gave up a pair stupid tries on some blown defensive assignments.” Head coach Tony Mazzarella liked the Falcons’ first half performance. “We looked prett y crisp in the first half, not so crisp in the second,” said BG head coach Tony Mazzarella. “We were ahead so much that it didn’t matter, but in a tight game against someone like Miami a lapse in concentration can be a death sentence.” The Bearcats put a couple points on the board in the second half, but BG’s lead was never threatened as the Falcons matched them point for point. Szente stole a ball out of a ruck and flew 20 yards

down the field before anybody realized the ball was gone. He then converted the kick. Freshman fly half Teddy Terezis broke a pinball game style run, spinning out of the grasp of a half dozen Cincy tacklers before finally touching the ball down in the end zone. Szente’s kick made the final score 53-14. In the second nonleague match, Cinicinnati scored right off the kickoff and looked like they were going to make a game of it, only to watch the Falcons

Johnson’s 229 passing yards marked the fourthstraight week he has thrown more than 200-yards and was not sacked at all in the second half. “It’s what we should have done the whole game,” Johnson said. “We knew what they were going to do and in the second half we showed what we can do.” With the win, BG’s record moves to 4-1 on the season and Akron falls to 1-4.
