speak more to people who’s sexual reality is visible, and some speak to students who’s sexuality isn’t a core component of who they are.” Klann said she knows it can be difficult for people to come out, but it depends on what kind of person it is dealing with it. “Once you get the self-confidence to admit to yourself that you’re gay, it’s really easy to admit it to someone else,” Klann said. “You shouldn’t have to admit it to other people because it’s who you are.” The sponsors for the week of events include the Women’s Center, Vision, the LGBT Resource Center, HUE, Women Who Love Women and the Trans Awareness Group. President of Vision Liz Grabski said each event impacts people in different ways, both socially and emotionally. “Something like the ‘Luau Ball’ and the ‘Not So Straight Skate’ effect people in a way for people to go out and hang with people
Students may have noticed that extra cameras have been added to the public areas in all the residence halls within the past year. Sarah Cameras are Waters installed in the hallDirector of ways, by the elevators, Residence in the common areas Life and at all of the entries and exits, said Sarah Waters, director of Residence Life. Waters said the addition of more cameras is important as it makes it easier to ensure the safety of the residents by monitoring who comes and goes. It also allows Residence Life to be able to investigate further into disturbances. Budamir Markovic, a resident of Falcon Heights, agrees. “The cameras make people less likely to disturb the peace of others,” he said. The cameras have helped positively close investigations this year such as a pulled fire alarm, Waters said. “The added cameras also allow University police to follow up on cases of vandalism or complaints,” Waters said. “Vandalism is rare, but the ability to review more cameras has helped identify culprits.” It’s about trying to ensure the residence is safe, Waters said. “I feel a little safer with the addition of cameras, but I feel like I’m being watched,” said Liane Cesare, a resident of Offenhauer. Some of the students are thankful the cameras are there.

Week of campus events celebrate, bring awareness, educational aspect to National Coming Out Day Thursday By Geoff Burns Reporter
When junior Kyler Klann started her freshman year at the University, she knew it was time to come out. “There’s a lot of feelings that go into telling people who you are,” Klann said. “Coming out is a really big experience that’s scary because you don’t know how people are going to react.” Klann, who came out her freshman year at the University, has volunteered in events hosted by the LGBT community this week on campus to celebrate National Coming Out Day. The events range from speakers talking about serious subjects such as hate crimes and racism to social meetings like ice skating and dancing. Assistant Director of LGBT Programs Tobias Spears said students go to these events because they want to find out their true identity and socialize with people who share the same community. “These events are for students in general, in which case it’s a different experience for each person,” Spears said. “Some of the events

While registration is Sunday, the group will actually hit the road during spring semester when Dance Marathon kicks off.
BATTLE OF THE BIRDS
Candle light walk educates campus community By Bridjet Mendyuk Reporter
A candle light walk around campus on Thursday night for National Coming Out Week educated students on LGBT struggles and suicide prevention. President of Women Who Love Women, an organization supporting lesbian women at the University, Maddison Prether said the walk’s purpose was to educate and raise awareness about suicide prevention in the LGBT community. Sophomore Liz Grabski said the plan for the walk started this past year when there was a great deal of suicide stories in the media of those who identify themselves as LGBT. “Not ever yone has had a good com i ng out ex per ience,” Grabsk i sa id. “We’re here to tr y to ma ke it positive and to ma ke the best of a bad situation.” The walk consisted of three stations with a speaker at each stop. The three stations: hate crimes, suicide and prevention provided posters with facts on each around campus. Sophomore Rachel Minarcion said the walk was important to her because she had gone

through similar experiences in her life and it showed her she was not alone. “There’s so many different people here, the support is comforting,” Minarcion said. The first stop, hate crimes, informed students on the impact that violence has on the LGBT community. Senior Shaunda Brown-Clopton said as a person who knows victims of hate crimes, she felt it was a necessary first stop because these attacks can perpetuate suicide. “Hate crimes can affect anybody,” Brown-Clopton said. At the second stop, suicide, students were given a description and a photo of someone in the LGBT community who had committed suicide. Sophomore Margaret Scott said the stop was important because suicide in the LGBT community is often ignored. “It’s almost like we don’t try to prevent it, like it’s a part of the background,” Scott said. The last stop, prevention, provided students with information on local resources and national hotlines, websites,

Piazza family sees their son, and his football teammates, as their extended family By: Rachel Ausperk
Family Weekend is a time where parents can visit BGSU and spend time with their son or daughter that they may not get to see often throughout the school year. But for the Piazza family of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Family Weekend is just one of several visits each year to see their son, and makes the time a little more special. James Christian Piazza, who goes by Christian, is the son of James and Julie Piazza, and is a sophomore marketing major. Christian has two younger brothers, Graham, a high school senior, and Landon, a sophomore. It’s an all-male family except for mother Julie Piazza. “Life with all males has its moments and at times feels like a locker room... even the dog is a boy!” said Mrs. Piazza. And the locker room analogy isn’t too far off either, especially for their son Christian. Christian, who wears the number 74, is a redshirt freshman and offensive lineman for the BGSU Falcons football team. Christian has been involved with sports for years. He played basketball and one year of football for his high school in Huron. Christian’s friends had always told him to play for the football team in high school, so he went out for the team his senior year when they received a new head coach, and had success with it. “A family friend of mine, who was a head coach in Eastern Michigan, took a special interest in me and told me that right then I might not have been able to get a scholarship to play college football, but if I went to a prep school, it would help me get more experience
and exposure,” Christian said. After high school, he played football for a prep school in Virginia called Fork Union Military Academy. Christian said his parents are huge supporters of everything he does. “We have tried to provide our sons with strong roots and opportunities to develop
“Life with all males has its moments and at times feels like a locker room... even the dog is a boy!” – Julie Piazza – strong wings to soar on their own,” said Mrs. Piazza. “We cherish our time together and try to make the most of each moment.” Not only are Christian’s parents proud supporters of his achievements in sports, but they are also proud of his academic achievements at BGSU, including being on the Dean’s List and being in the top 10 percent academically of the football team members. “We have stressed to Christian that he is a scholar who plays football... and we love observing his success on the gridiron,” said Mr. Piazza. Mr. Piazza also said that he is blessed to learn that being “family” is not always through blood, and that one of the things they appreciate about the Bowling Green football program, under the leadership of Coach Clawson and Christian’s position Coach Bill
JAMES CHRISTIAN PIAZZA
Durkin in addition to all the other BG coaches, is building a football team that is very family oriented. “Some of Christians teammates feel like family,” said Mr. Piazza. The Piazza family loves to travel and explore together. Mrs. Piazza said their family vacations, as well as the picture books created from them, are great messages of memories shared and the comfort of being a family. Mr. and Mrs. Piazza attend all of Christian’s home games, and those away games that they can, since they need to balance their younger sons’ events as well. Christian’s parents will be here for Family Weekend, and will cheer on their son in the football game on Saturday. They also plan to attend whatever they can of the Family Weekend events and eat out after the game, which is a family tradition for the Piazzas. Christian’s favorite restaurant is Biaggi’s in Levis Commons. “Sharing good food, good company, and good conversation including game discussion will likely be our post game activity,” said Mr. Piazza. It’s all part of being family for the Piazzas and their extended football family.

Some Bowling Green State University Traditions By Kathryn Krakoff
Every university has its traditions and can be traced back far back. Bowling Green State University has some unique ways of how our school spirit progressed. In 1914, the University’s first president, Dr. Homer B. Williams came together with a group of people to decide the school’s colors. Among the group was Dr. Leon L. Winslow who was a part of the industrial arts department. While on a trolley ride to Toledo, he spotted a woman wearing a large hat with brown and orange feathers and loved the color combination. He then took it to the committee, which was later approved by the Board of Trustees. You may have heard of “Falcon Flames” at one time or another. Alumni have been known to meet their significant other here at BGSU. According to the BGSU website, there are known to be 10,706 Falcon Flames worldwide. Bowling Green State University was first known as Bowling Green Normal
University. The name started for the teacher program and its curriculum. When 1923 graduate, Ivan “Doc” Lake suggested a new name, the falcons came to mind after reading an article in the Sentinel Tribune newspaper about falconry. The idea of the falcon being a powerful bird attracted him, and soon after, members of BGSU approved the idea. Leon Winslow designed the University seal in 1914. It was first designed to signify the new Normal College. Over the years, legends have developed about the seal. For instance, if you walk to the left of it, you will not do well on your next test and if you pass to the right, you will do well on your next one. If you kiss your sweetheart at midnight on the seal, you will get married. If you let go of holding hands and walk
on opposite sides of it, you will break up soon. Promotion of school spirit increased with each athletic event. Freddie Falcon made his first appearance at a BGSU basketball game in January of 1950. Alpha Phi Omega fraternity first thought of the idea of Freddie. Bob Taylor was the first Freddie Falcon to be seen. The paper-mache head, brown sweat suit and feather cape was the start of his appearance. Frieda Falcon joined Freddie in 1966 and was first debuted in the beginning by a male cheerleader. Sue Sheard was the first female officially to be Frieda in 1980. Each year students apply to become the famous mascots and are not revealed to the public until the end of the basketball and hockey seasons.

JAMES PFUNDSTEIN FACULTY COLUMNIST
In a close election, which 2012 promises to be on many levels, there are two ways to win. You can get more of your supporters to the polls so they can vote or you can try to keep your opponents away from the polls and otherwise make their votes not count. The first way is how a democratic system works at its best. The second way is a despicable attempt to under m ine t he r ig hts of citizens. It is also the of f icia l policy of Ohio
state government under Gover nor John Kasich and Secretar y of State Jon Husted. Before this election, Ohioans had the opportunity to cast an early vote in person up to the Monday before Election Day. Kasich and his allies in the Ohio General Assembly acted to change that this year for most Ohio voters. It’s not a trivial issue. Ninety-three thousand Ohio voters cast their votes in person in the three days before the past presidential election, something is trying to prevent this year. Ohioans abroad or on military service can still avail themselves of early voting in person (courtesy of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens
Absentee Voter Act or UOCAVA). Other Ohioans won’t be able to if the Governor and the Secretary of State have their way. W hy the urgency to change the voting rules in this election year and why the odd inequality in voting rights? The military vote may skew toward Kasich’s party. On the other hand, in-person early voting is highly favored by minority communities and others who may well vote against the Governor’s party. Instead of trying to convince people to vote for their candidates, the Governor and the Ohio Secretary of State are using their power of state government to restrict the
voting rights of citizens. Husted feels so strongly about the issue that he has fought the case in two federal courts (and lost) and is now appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States, all to restrict voting rights for Ohio citizens. Your tax dollars at work. The solution, I think, is to push back. The more they fear your vote, the more you should use it. Don’t let the state restrict your voting rights. If they succeed in this, taking away the rest of your rights will be that much easier.

The first presidential debate was surprising, to mostly everyone who tuned in, as an almost una nimous decision deemed Governor Romney the winner, or rather, that President Obama lost. The historical evidence of both candidates’ public speaking skills would suggest a much different result. Commonly understood to be a boring, disconnected politician, Romney took the stage with an enthused charisma that, for the first time in the 2012 Presidential Election, outshone a confused and irritable Obama. The expectations for both candidates were the complete opposite of the final result. However, Al Gore gave American’s the reasoning they longed for

in regards to this upset: Denver’s altitude. But never mind the debate, I mean what’s the point if the media claims that Romney won, but both sides lied. It’s a matter of deciding whether or not they aimed to mislead, or were misled themselves. No, what is much more interesting is the good ole fashioned ‘mudslinging’ that has become disappointingly inevitable. Days after the debate, the Obama campaign released a campaign ad highlighting the concept of Romney’s “dishonesty.” In fact, the only form of recoil the Obama camp has been able to scrounge up since the debate has been nothing more than character attacks on Romney. However, we ought to be clear about what they are arguing. Referring to a $5 trillion tax cut that Romney claims is avoidable without hiking up taxes on the middle class, Obama strategists have labeled his claim a blatant lie. But the fact of the matter is that this idea, in and of itself, is a widely debated topic amongst economists and think tanks throughout America. A Princeton economist, performed the research the Obama campaign is using to base their claims. However, this economist has also said that he doesn’t know exactly
“The first Presidential debate was surprising, to mostly everyone who tuned in, as an almost unanimous decision deemed Governor Romney the winner ... ” how the Obama Campaign reached that conclusion from his work. I do not know what is more insulting as a political constituent, calling someone out on a “lie” on the premise of another lie or turning Big Bird into the center of political campaign strategies. Yeah, Big Bird has, in fact, made appearances at recent Obama campaigning events. Imag ine, President Oba ma, Comma nder in Chief, the man we entrusted to lead the country out of the worst recession since the Great Depression, America in its foreign policy, manage our military, federal spending, job creation and literally hundreds of other presidential responsibilities, is physically standing next to Big Bird, calling someone a liar. Obama is living the American Dream — of a four-year-old. Are you kidding me? I went home this past weekend for fall break to visit my family and while I was home, I broke up the same fight between my little sisters. It is truly insulting and let me tell you why. This is our political race, led by
the president of the United States of America. Romney made a stand and Obama fell down. The legitimacy of both candidates’ facts can be debated until kingdom come, but so can religion or the Pepsi-Coke polling. But people kill for religion and Coke just outsells Pepsi. There is supposed to be a discrepancy in political discourse. A standard set by politicians promoting civil discourse and actions. A light shined through maturity, civility and respect. So, as a result, I will tell you what I told my baby sisters, what my mom told me as a child, along with millions of other parents: “Put away your toy birds and stop calling people names. If you have an issue with someone, talk to them about it, not about them because of it and if you do not have anything nice to say, do not say anything at all because, ultimately, you just soil your own name.” American constituents deserve better leadership than Big Bird and name calling.

SPORTS Hockey to play Union
Friday, October 12, 2012
a decade OLD RIVALRY

Home for the first time, Falcons play No. 10 Union By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
For the first time since late February, the BG hockey team will take the ice at the Ice Arena for a regular season game. Adding to the excitement is the team BG welcomes to town this weekend: No. 10 Union College. The Dutchmen are one of the elite teams in college hockey, fresh off a 26-win season and an appearance in the Frozen Four. Both games are scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Even though Union is not a big-name school, Coach Chris Bergeron said this series will be a great measuring stick for the team to start the season. “I don’t know if the students on our campus realize how good Union hockey is, but we know,” he said. “They’re going to come in with this swagger to show the CCHA, this is how we play hockey ECAC style.” Union had good success against the Central Collegiate Hockey Association this past season, posting a 2-1-2 record, with one loss against Ferris State in the Frozen Four. However, its 2012-13 season started off on the wrong foot, as the Dutchmen dropped their season opener to Merrimack, 4-1, this past Saturday. While non-conference games do not benefit the Falcons in terms of league standings, the team is looking at this series as a way to help prepare for league play, while also hoping to make a splash playing against a nationally ranked team. “I think this is a really good opportunity for us, with Union and Colgate back-to-back weekends, to get into league-like situations,” Bergeron said. “This is good stuff for us to get prepared for CCHA games.” The Dutchmen will be the one of the sternest tests the Falcons face this season, featuring a stingy defense and a prolific offense. This past season, they outscored opponents 143-75. Goaltender Troy Grosenick is one of the top netminders in college hockey, posting a 22-6-3 record this past season, to go along with a 1.65 goals-against average and a .936 save percent. Eight players posted more than 20 points for Union this past season, with five of those players scoring more than 30 points. However, their two leading scorers — Jeremy Welsh and Kelly Zajac — graduated or in Welsh’s case, went pro. Union also converted on 24.2 percent of its power play opportunities last season, while holding opponents to a 15.4 percent power play success rate. “You take a swing at someone after a whistle, and you punch someone in the cage, that’s another power play they have and they’ll make you pay,” Bergeron said. “We have to be disciplined with our game plan. We have to be disciplined with the details and the process of our game plan, and we have to be disciplined with our emotion.”

Unofficial rival Miami will come to to BG where they have not lost since 1997 in MAC East showdown By Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor
A true battle of the birds will happen Saturday as the Falcons welcome the Miami Redhawks to the Doyt. This will be the 69th time the two teams have met, with Miami clearly showing it has historically had the Falcons’ number with an overall record of 42-21-5 against Bowling Green. Under Head Coach Dave Clawson, the falcons are 2-1 against the Redhawks, but the Falcons have failed to win at home since 1997 when playing Miami. There have been four coaching regimes since then, including that of Urban Meyer. This season Miami is 3-3 just like the Falcons, however they are 2-0 in MAC play. The Redhawks’ wins have come against FCS opponent, Southern Illinois. Massachusetts, whom have failed to win a game this season and Akron in a shootout 56-49. Miami has recorded losses against Ohio State, Boise State and most recently Cincinnati this past week. As a refresher, the Falcons have also lost three games against the opponents of currently fourthranked Florida, Toledo and Virginia Tech. Bowling Green has recorded wins against Idaho, Rhode Island and, like Miami, Akron this past week. In the three wins, the Falcons have had strong offensive presences as well as a steadfast defense while the special teams continue to be
a gray-area. The Falcons are currently perched fourth in the MAC East while Miami is third. “To me it’s a little bit too early in the year to talk about standings,” Clawson said in his weekly press conference. “A lot of things can play out and with the history of this league you can go either way with them.” Quarterback Matt Schilz is coming into this game with 1251 yards and five touchdowns and five interceptions. Despite the high interception count, Schilz has been the epicenter for offensive productivity. Tight end Alex Bayer, who was named the John Mackey Tight End of the Week, has been a popular target for Schilz as the pair had two touchdowns this past week in a career day for Bayer. The John Mackey award is the national award for the best collegiate tight end and Bayer was named to the watchlist this preseason. Bayer has 263 yards off of 20 receptions and two touchdowns. “Each game is a big game, especially if we keep winning.” Bayer said. “Miami is a rivalry game, it was a bit bigger a few decades ago but we still look at it as a big game and it’s going to be one.” This past week’s victory against Akron marked the Falcons’ 500th win in history but more prominently, the first back-to-back wins for the Falcons since their first two games in 2011 against Idaho and FCS school, Morgan State. The Falcons are on a roll and have the hardest part of their schedule behind them.
Rugby looks to play undefeated Dayton Falcons continue to dominate season, will play challenging game against 2-0 Flyers By Nicholas Vanderpool Reporter
BG rugby, fresh off a bye week, will look to continue their undefeated streak in conference play this weekend and face the Dayton Flyers, who will make a short trip up I-75 to try and hand the Falcons their first loss of the regular season. The Falcons are 4-0 and have put up a staggering 236 points and have only allowed a total of 58 to opponents. The Flyers come into this game sporting a 2-0 record. BG and Dayton do not have much
of a rugby history against each other. The last time the two teams matched up was in 2007, and the Falcons took the victory 39-8. Dayton has recently moved up to D-I, so it isn’t abnormal to have five years in between meetings with teams that aren’t in the same conference or division. BG has been a powerhouse in D-I year in and year out, continuing to compete for conference and national championships. The Flyers have already sent a message to the upper echelon teams. They beat Mid-American Conference co-favorite, Ohio University, 27-19.
Now, Dayton will try to knock off the other MAC favorite in which should be a highly competitive game for BG. The bye week was crucial for the Falcons this past week. It allowed players to heal and get back on the field, and it provides an extra week of rest and preparation for this game. “Dayton has been a pretty good D-II team,” said Head Coach Tony Mazzarella. “They don’t necessarily have any stars on their
See RUGBY | Page 7
“I don’t think you can ever be relaxed…we won a couple games in a row but that is not going to mean anything if we lose this week,” Bayer said. “It’s nice to win [and] it feels good but we have a 24-hour rule where we enjoy it for 24 hours but come Sunday afternoon we are already preparing for the next team.” Defensively, the Falcons have stolen the show. Bowling Green’s defense has kept it in almost every game this season, aside from the Virginia Tech blowout loss. The number one defense in the MAC, lead by defensive tackle Chris Jones and safety “Boo Boo” Gates, have allowed the Falcons to go toe-totoe with Florida, Toledo and really put on a second-half display against Akron. The defense also handled Rhode Island, only allowing one touchdown which was a result of a fumbled punt-return and resulted in a short field. The team is averaging only 20.3 points against per game and 343 yards against. In 2011, the team averaged 406 yards and almost 30 points per game. Jones has 20 tackles this season including 10 tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks. Jones has been named the MAC East player of the week twice already this season, and sits third in University history with 22 career sacks. Gates has been a solid safety as a main proponent to the lack of touchdowns given up. Gates has also made a name for himself as
a punt returner this season as he has already returned an 80-yard punt for a touchdown despite one muffed punt. “I think I’m playing all right — I can play better,” Gates said. “But our front is getting better and [the opponents] playmaking ability is going down, but when the time comes and I need to make a play, I try to make that play.” Miami’s quarterback Zac Dysert has already accumulated 1716 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. The Redhawks’ running back Jamire Westbrook has only 148 yards and one touchdown; statistics that Falcons’ running back Anthon Samuel has accomplished tri-fold and then some. Former MAC Rookie of the Year, Samuel has 494 yards with 8 touchdowns. Samuel, as a sophomore, is already 24th in school history in rushing yards. This past time the Falcons and Redhawks played, Miami won on a fourth quarter field goal. Kicking has been a question mark for the orange and brown this season as the team has utilized three kickers between kickoffs, field goals and extra points. Kickers Tyler Tate and Stephan Stein have alternated field goals and extra points to be only 2-for-7 on field goals and 14-for-16 on extra points. The game will take place during Falcon Family Weekend so there will be a home field advantage present. The game kicks off at 3:30 at Doyt Perry Stadium.
After long break, tennis back in action at Toledo for Duals By Jacob Beverly Reporter
The Falcons are traveling to Toledo for their third tournament of the season this weekend after capturing four titles at the BGSU Invitational, but have now been out of competition for three weeks. “I think the long break gave the team a chance to brush up on our games and drill the things that we really needed to work on,” said junior Emily Reuland. “It gave us a chance to practice what we need to improve for MAC season. Our practices are competitive and we

Cross Country travels to TENNIS From Page 6 Peoria for 8k, 6k races By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter
The men’s and women’s cross country team will be back in action this Friday afternoon at the Bradley Classic in Peoria, Ill. as the men start at 4:25 p.m. and the women follow at 5:05 p.m. The men will run another 8k this year and the women will run their first 6k of the year. With this being the last meet of the regular season for the team they are training hard to be in top form come playoff time. They have been training hard since the AllOhio Championships two weeks ago. “We have continued doing the same thing we have been,” said Coach Lou Snelling. “Though, we still had a very nice training cycle this week we are seeing great things.” The women’s side will see their top four girls Abby Koch, Andrea Alt, Jasmine Redman and Kendra Kezur back on the field this weekend, as they continue to push themselves another week to get better. “We just want to keep getting better and take that next step,” Snelling said.
HOCKEY From Page 6 While Union does return several high scoring forwards, a lot of their offense is created by defensemen. Mat Bodie and Shayne Gostisbehere both put up more than 22 points from the blue line and are a big part of an offense that can strike quickly. “We need to be hard to play against in our own zone,” said

On the other hand, two key players, Matt Marquette and Corey Ruth will not play against the Flyers. Marquette is still recovering from broken bones in his face that occurred at the beginning
“We just want to keep getting better and take that next step.” Lou Snelling | Head Coach
For the men they are looking to do more of the same as they run their third 8k in a row this year. The men have a great group of guys running for them with Josh Franek, Tim Jurick, Brian Coleman and Joe van Bolderen. They will be looking for one or two more guys to step into that group to add more depth to their roster. “Between Perry Fraylick and Tom Hipwell they have the ability to close the gap from four to five,” Snelling said. “If they can do that it will only help us going further.” This may be the most important meet of the year for the Falcons up to this point of the year, with the Mid-American Conference Championships coming up in a few weeks. Although the playoffs are so close there will not be many people sitting out and resting for them.
defenseman Mike Sullivan. “Whether that be on the penalty kill not giving up the blue line and forcing them to dump the puck in, making to a 50-50 battle that we’re confident that we’re going to win. “Defensively, they have a couple guys who are pretty slick, so we have to make sure we shut them down early and often … we have to shut down their creativity and simplify the game, which we’re pretty good at.”
of the season. Ruth’s timetable is about two weeks until he can get back on the field after suffering a leg injury against Ball State three weeks ago. The Falcons will look to continue to play aggressively and spread out the Flyers defense to create holes for potential big plays. They hope their hardnosed style of rugby will send a message and deliver Dayton its first loss of the season. The game will start at 1 p.m. at College Park.
sisting of BG, the University of Detroit Mercy, Duquesne University and host, Toledo. Play will start at 10 a.m. both Friday and Saturday. The invite will utilize a hidden dual format where players will be grouped into A (flights 1 through 3) and B (flights 4 through 6) singles brackets. BG will be competing against each of the three schools in both singles and doubles competition. “I am looking forward to the fact that it is a hidden dual format,” said junior Nikki Chiricosta. “While it is not necessarily a team event, it feels much more like a dual match and it’s an exciting preview to see how we will fare against these teams in the spring.” Although dual-match scores will not be kept, a point system will be used. The team winning two of the three matches in any of the competitions will earn a point. Flight champions will also be recognized at all six singles positions as well as the three doubles flights. “I expect each person on the team to improve from the level they played in our last event,” said Head Coach Penny Dean. “The goal of the fall is to keep
9-1 (.900) improving and get to a high level and then continue that in the dual matches.” After three tournaments, Reuland and Chiricosta rank 1-2 on the Falcons in wins and are feeling confident going into the Rocket Invitational. Reuland has a record of 12-2 overall and won both the singles and doubles championships at the BGSU Invitational. Reuland’s doubles partner, Chiricosta, is 11-2 with a singles and doubles championship as well. Freshman Katie Brozovich has also posted double digit victories with a 10-5 record. “I definitely have some momentum after coming off some good wins at the BG invite,” Chiricosta said. “However, I will be facing tough competition so I have to be ready.” In the past Rocket Hidden Duals, the Falcons have had great success. Last year, seniors Maddy Eccleston and Katie Grubb, as well as Reuland each won singles championships. The past two years the team has finished with the most team points overall. Following the Toledo Invitational, the Falcons will close out their fall portion of the schedule November 9-11, with a trip to Kalamazoo, Mich., for the Western Michigan University Super Challenge.

MAC leading Volleyball looks to continue wins By Max Householder Reporter
The BG volleyball team had a stellar defensive performance by setter Laura Avila to pull away from the Oakland Grizzlies Tuesday night. Avila went into the game not known for her defensive prowess, but left everyone in awe of her 36 dig performance. The junior setter had 36 digs, which was the most by a BG player since Chelsey Meek set the school record back in 2007. “I wasn’t surprised (by her performance),” Coach Danijela Tomic said. “Oakland’s tendency is to hit to her zone a lot. I think when they couldn’t really score it was their plan to hit to her zone in order to keep her from setting.” “She was just very disciplined and used the opportunities she got,” Tomic said. “She did a great job,” middle Leah Shaw said. “A lot of teams are going to go after her to try and take us out of our system and she did a great job of handling it.” As a team, BG out-dug Oakland 112 to 100, which was the most by a BG team since September 22, 2000 against Ball State. BG is 11-7 with this win and has won a surprising seven matches in a row. The Falcons will return to MAC this Friday and Saturday when they take on two competitive teams from the West division in Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan. Both teams have winning records on the year while Central Michigan leads the MAC West division with a 5-1 record in conference. The Falcons will look to a balanced attack both offensively and defensively as they try
and stymie two strong but very different teams. Eastern Michigan is a team that relies very much on its defense as they are second in the MAC in digs, averaging 16.74 digs per set. In fact, in their past two matches, which were wins against Ball State and Toledo, the Eagles are averaging 18.1 digs per set. The Chippewas, however, are predicated more on their offensive prowess as they rank among the top three in two of the main offensive categories kills and aces. The main hitter for the Chippewas is Kaitlyn McIntyre who averages 3.72 kills per set, which is near the same amount as BG’s best hitter, Paige Penrod. To stop players like McIntyre, the Falcons will look to middle blockers Shaw and Kaitlyn Skinner who have been terrors at the net. Skinner tied a career high in blocks with 10 against Oakland while Shaw helped on the offensive side with nine kills. “Right now we are leading the league in blocks and are I believe top three in digs. Skinner and Leah (Shaw) have been a big part of that,” Coach Tomic said. “I am very pleased with Leah — she just works hard; she doesn’t talk a lot but she is one of our leaders with the way she plays. I am very happy for her and for Kaitlyn that they are playing well.” The Falcons have played two consecutive five set matches which resulted in wins against both Western Michigan on Saturday and Oakland on Tuesday. With those wins, the Falcons are 2-1 in matches that have gone to a fifth set with the only blemish coming in a nonconference matchup against Utah back on Sept. 8.

CAMERA From Page 1 Markovic said the added cameras in the residence halls can’t hurt and are a good thing to have overall. The cameras can help security and probably save time and money in the long run, Markovic said. Not all students agree with Markovic’s point of view. Cesare said she doesn’t think the added cameras have much of an affect. “I noticed the new cameras around the doors and outside the building,” Cesare said. “I feel like they are more for looks.” Cesare admits the cameras may have some benefits, however they come at a cost. Cesare kept her residence hall door closed this past year because the positioning of the cameras in the hallway allowed them to see into her room if her door was open.
Campus event to raise funds for cancer research By Geoff Burns Reporter
When fifth-year student Kristi Ketchum’s grandfather died of cancer two years ago, she knew it was time to make a difference. After she heard about Residence Life teaming up with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to host an event on campus in order to raise awareness for childhood cancer, she decided it was time to take action. “When a program or event like this came up and people said it was gong to be here in Bowling Green, I just knew I had to get involved somehow,” Ketchum said. “I knew it had to be by just volunteering or going as far as shaving my head.” The St. Ba ldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-based charity that raises funds for better research in childhood cancer to find cures, help cancer patients live stronger lives. The event will consist of volunteers signing up to have licensed barbers shave their head, all while they give money donations, which go straight to St. Baldrick’s. Jennifer Goddard, coordinator of Leadership and Administration in the Office of Residence Life, said the goal is to raise $15,000 by the day of the event on Dec. 2. They have already raised $2,663. There are 29 volunteers who have already signed up to shave their head, but Residence Life hopes to have at least 150 people signed up by the event date, Goddard said. “The idea behind shaving your head is to
stand in solidarity with children who lose their hair from chemotherapy treatments,” Goddard said. “This is part of their identity and they don’t have a choice when they lose their hair but this is kind of a way to stand with students.” Ketchum said she thinks raising enough money to reach the goal is definitely achievable because people will rally for this kind of research. “As of right now, I have already achieved my personal goal of raising $100 and have raised over $300,” Ketchum said. “I would love to be able to raise over $500 for this event because that would be awesome.” Goddard said they have been able to reach out for help beyond campus with assistance from a barbershop in Toledo and from the non-profit organization Locks of Love, where men and women will be able to have their hair shaved. “They are going to be hosting the event at the same time and all of the funds they raise at their barbershop will come directly to the group here in Bowling Green and then donated to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation,” Goddard said. Goddard said that volunteers aren’t limited to having their entire head shaved. “The barbers will do it where they can just trim your hair or can do something like a mohawk too and it doesn’t have to be a full shave,” she said. Special events coordinator at the St. Baldrick’s Fou ndat ion A l f re d Portillo said hosting an event like this on a col-
lege campus contributes to raising awareness for an important cause. “College students have a lot of energy and are always self-motivated as it always brings a different vibe to each of the college events,” Portillo said. “Word of mouth starts spreading, your friends, clubs and fraternities and sororities also help out, so it’s definitely possible to reach that $15,000 goal.” Ketchum said it’s really easy for people to know about the event because of social networking and word of mouth. “I have an event on Facebook I have created where people can go to the page and see the kids that I’m honoring and doing this for and just from there they can donate directly to my page,” Ketchum said. “I think there’s definitely a real awareness for childhood cancer and as long as people keep spreading the word, the turnout for the event will be positive.” The first annual event on Dec. 2 will be hosted in the Multi-Purpose room in the Union from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation website at stbaldricks.org.

Student music mixing it up behind the bar tastes change
DJs play popular tunes in clubs per people’s requests By Amber Petkosek Pulse Reporter
Although some clubs have been around for years, the music played and requested is always changing. Some DJs and music professionals in the area are paying attention to the different ways students are listening and dancing to music. Manny Marcelo, also known as Kiss FM’s DJ Manny, spends Fridays and Saturdays at ClaZel prov iding students w ith music. W hen Marcelo first began his career nine years ago, he said the main music style was hip-hop. As time went on “it went to slower hip-hop,” he said. “Then it went to pop and now we are at the end of a dance phase.” Some songs become popular because of a dance that goes along with it, Marcelo said. “‘Cupid’s Shuffle’ still hasn’t gone away,” Marcelo said. Another reason some songs become popular in the clubs is because t hey ta lk about birthdays. Marcelo said some students like to go out and celebrate on these days and he will get a lot of requests for songs that mention birthdays. “Anytime it’s a birthday, ‘Cake’ by Rihanna is requested,” Marcelo said. “Another popular one is ‘In Da Club’ by 50 Cent because it says, ‘gonna party like it’s your birthday’.” Music played in the clubs differs from music played on the radio in many ways, Marcelo said.
“The age-old connection between dance and courtship is prominent in BG.” Jeremy Wallach |
Popular Culture Associate Professor “In clubs and bars you have to think of your audience. At bars you have a lot of people over 21,” Marcelo said. “On the radio it’s for all audiences. They play [Justin] Bieber on the radio, but not so much in the clubs.” Associate Professor in the Popular Culture Department, Jeremy Wallach, said club music is about dancing. “People l i ke to da nce,” Wa llach sa id. “The age-old connect ion bet ween da nce and courtship is prominent in BG.” A lot of the music being played in clubs is techno and dubstep, said freshman Greg Robison. “All the mainstream music has the dubstep aspect now,” Robison said. “Everything has the bass in the background.” “The stuff played in clubs is functioned towards dancing,” Wallach said. The Korean pop song “Gangam Style” has recently gained a lot of popularity in the United States, Wallach said. It became so popular because it’s a compelling song. Even if you don’t understand the words, you can dance to it, Wallach said. Some clubs are playing more

BARTENDER TAYLOR Stanford works at The Attic and has been employed there for three years. Other bartenders who work with him are students.
Student bartenders juggle schoolwork, job while enjoying serving drinks to customers By Bridjet Mendyuk Pulse Reporter
Some people recommend bartending as a way to keep their lives organized while having fun. Some students have found it to be a balancing act that is not for the faint of heart. Junior Nick Gerkin said, while it may not be hard for him to bartend, it can be time-consuming balancing school, his job at Quarters Bar and Grill and the army, where he is an enlisted soldier. His favorite part of the job is meeting people. “I’m not in a fraternity or live in a dorm and being a bartender makes me feel more associated
with the campus life,” Gerkin said. The pay at each bar varies. Most of the wages round out to $4.25 an hour, not including tips, Gerkin said. Gerkin said the money can be good or bad depending on the night. “On Homecoming, I worked for a couple hours and made $500,” Gerkin said. “On nights like this [Monday], I could be here for six hours and walk out at the end of the night with only six bucks.” Senior Kelsey Gilroy, bartender at Beckett’s, agreed. She works 20 hours a week and said Tuesday isn’t going to be as busy as Friday. Some of the busiest days are opening weekend, the week-

end before summer break, Homecoming and St. Patrick’s Day. “It’s crazy opening weekend with the riots,” Gilroy said. “It’s cool though to see all of the alumni come back. We even play the Beckett’s song and people dance on top of the bar.”

Paranormal Activity 4
Scary movies, shows have positive benefits TARA KELLER PULSE EDITOR
Forget Christmas. For all you horror movie fans out there, October is the month to celebrate. In the next few weeks, highly-anticipated scar y mov ies w ill be landing in t heaters and scaring the goop out of guests. Some may claim this caliber of film is superficial and is created simply to produce profit, but I beg to differ. Horror films are scary, of course, but what attracts me the most to them is the message behind them. In all reality, we aren’t likely to encounter any evil-spirited ghosts during our time here on Earth. So, we enjoy seeing other people struggle. No, we’re not sociopaths, but we like to remember that our lives are actually pretty good. We like the adrenaline-rush and the fear. We place ourselves in the characters’ shoes and ask ourselves “fight or flight?” In the next few weeks, that question will need to be
“Horror films are scary, of course, but what attracts me the most to them is the message behind them.”
answered. “Paranormal Activity 4” materializes into theaters Oct. 19 and I’ve been waiting for it since the third one came out less than a year ago. Taking the now-aging home video approach, this film touches on the familiar themes of possession and even incorporates little kids to really bring out the creep factor. Some may complain a fourth movie may be pushing the franchise too far, but I for one appreciate it. The more we learn about the four or so centralized characters makes those actions even more meaningful for viewers. I just wish I could have a pocket diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders to carry with me into the theater. The wunderkinds who created that franchise branched out a little bit with their new film, “Sinister.”
Starring the 1980s and 1990s star Ethan Hawke, the film opens with a novelist living in a haunted house and discovers old home movies starring-who guessed it — ghosts. The trailers for this film were quite terrifying. I have a heart of stone and I screamed like I was fa lling off a roller coaster when I watched it. That tease is enough for me. Finally, the horror genre has now successfully transitioned to the silver screen. “American Horror Story: Asylum” gets committed Oct. 17. The second season of the Emmy-winning show features Maroon Five front man Adam Levine and Jessica Lange. I watched the show this past year and looked forward to every Wednesday night when I could escape into the mixed up, psychotic world. The show is just as much a psychological thriller as it is a horror television show, which makes the intrigue that much sweeter. If you’re not one for screaming or seeing disturbing images, still try to give scary stuff a try. None of it’s real. It’s all in good fun and can even provide an extreme form of escapism that other genres simply wish to duplicate.
Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” isn’t your typical coming-of-age movie — it’s a modern classic. Set in the early 1990s, “Perks” follows the introvert freshman, Charlie (Logan Lerman), through a series of narrated letters as he begins his high school career. After a rocky start, Charlie’s experience begins to improve after he is taken in by seniors, Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson). This movie is proof that authors can successfully direct adaptations of their own books. Those who are fans of the book will be very pleased at how faithful the movie feels to the novel. Along with Chbosky’s excellent directing and screenwriting, the primary trio of actors deliver outstanding performances. That and a phenomenal soundtrack makes this one of the best movies of the year. Ler ma n plays t he per fect Cha rl ie. He is obser va nt, endea r ing a nd relatable in a way t hat a l lows h i m to completely connect w ith the audience. His performance was also aided by supporting actors, Miller and Watson. Miller adds a depth to his character that I was extremely impressed by. I assumed his character would be reduced to a comic relief, but he actually stars in most of the scenes in which he appears. Watson’s post-Harry Potter debut shows that she is not
A+
a one-hit wonder and really proves herself as an actress. Once you get past the shaky American accent, her portrayal of Sam is honest and refreshing. Music plays a vital role in this film because of how much it means to the characters. The music selection had to bring out the same amount of sentimentality in the audience as it does in the characters, which is just another huge success on Chbosky’s part. Indie-Pop songs such as “Asleep” by The Smiths and “Pearly-Dewdrops’ Drops” by Cocteau Twins give the movie the nostalgic feel that fans will be looking for. From the experiences of having fun with friends to the trauma that is high school, “Perks” succeeds at creating a relatable and familiar story. Above anything, this film succeeds at making its audience feel what the characters feel — infinite.

emember move-in weekend when you were taking all of your life’s possessions out of your parent’s minivan, dumping it in a rolling bin, and trudging up four flights of stairs, only to try and figure out how to fit 1200 square feet of stuff in a 10 square foot room? Okay, now remember those refreshing bottles of water that were given to you could walk away from the madness for a little bit and literally ‘cool off?’ That bottle of water might not have seemed like much at the time but in retrospect, when your dad just jammed his finger while putting together your thousandth piece of Sauder furniture, it’s definitely a good thing that the h2o Welcome Week Committee was there to offer him the cool break he needed!

Bowling Green has music outside of mainstream club music. “There is Jazz Night on Wednesday nights at One49,” Wallach said. “It’s usually a lot of the Bowling Green faculty performing.” Downtown also hosts other options like Cafe Havana, Wallach said. “It’s a real change of pace and they are always looking for live bands,” Wallach said.
Wallach said students have a very limited diet for music. “Club music will always be more popular than others because you don’t have to think about it,” Wallach said. Wa llach encourages students to go to the on campus music events and check out Jazz Night. “College is the ideal time to discover music,” Wallach said. “Your mind has evolved enough to appreciate it.”

GENERAL MANAGER Travis Kinder mixes drinks for customers at The Attic. He has worked at the bar for more than three years.
BARTEND From Page 9 Junior Mike O’Connell, bartender at The Attic, said the job can be hard when he gets off work late and has to get up early for class the next day. Gilroy also agreed working late and getting up early for class is a struggle. “It’s worth it, though. You meet a lot of cool people,” O’Connell said. Senior Bobby Albino, a bartender at SkyBar, said his job entitles him to be a people person because the environment is fast-paced and isn’t for someone who can’t handle customer service. As a night person, Albino doesn’t have a problem with working late and having early classes. “You just have to have good time-management,” Albino said. As for having fun, bartenders find ways to entertain themselves and customers while working. Quarters once had a former employee who used to take shots off other people’s bodies whenever he lost a game of pool, Gerkin said. While O’Connell likes serving his friends and classmates, he said it also depends on how drunk they are. “One time we had a

O’Connell said bartending keeps him out of trouble. “I recommend it. It’s good pay too,” O’Connell said. “Just make sure you don’t take on more than you can handle.”

FAMILY WEEKEND
12 Friday, October 12, 2012
Lots of Activities Throughout Town For Family Weekend By Allison Basile
There are several activities on campus this weekend for families – pancake breakfasts, family golf outings and even chef demonstrations; but what if you would like to travel off campus and see what the town has to offer? Bowling Green is a town, rich in history and community, and families who would like to explore have an abundance of options this weekend. The Bowling Green Convention and Visitors Bureau is holding a “Be A Tourist in Your Own Town” event this Saturday and Sunday, featuring a schedule full of fun family events. This promotion includes a discounted trip to the Wood County Historical Museum, discounts at restaurants and businesses downtown and even an architectural scavenger hunt with prizes. Also located downtown are many art galleries, including Art-a-Site!, Akimbo Gallery and the Arts in Common Gallery. For families who would prefer something more active, Bowling Green features several parks and outdoor attractions for a beautiful fall weekend.
Kermit’s offers family cooking for families By Phillip Martin
The City Park, located on Conneaut and Fairview Avenue features basketball courts and a baseball diamond, as well as an in-line skating rink and a playground. A full disc golf course can be found at Carter Park on Campbell Hill Road, along with picnic tables and shelters. Too chilly to spend time outside? Many attractions in town can keep you warm and cozy while still enjoying the weekend. Al-Mar Lanes features open bowling for almost all of the weekend, with “Kosmic Bowling” 9 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday night. Kosmic Bowling features a
or servers. Kermit’s busiest times are during the weekend when it is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. A lot of University students visit at this time, Maas said. Despite heavy business at times, Maas said that service is timely for customers. “We’re small, but we have a quick turnover. We might have a long line like Bob Evans, but it’ll only take 10 to 15 minutes guaranteed”, she said. The wait may be worth it. ® Kermit’s menu offers traditional breakfast items, and one of the most popular items is the crescent sandwich. Animal pancakes are a popular treat for children. Pancakes shaped like dinosaurs, Mickey Mouse and other critters are a specialty of the cooks, Maas said. Kermit’s offers specials from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. during its Monday through Friday hours. Beginning in two weeks, Kermit’s will offer three seasonal specials. On family taco night, families can enjoy ® making their own tacos with Purch Adv Tix @ cinemark.com fixings brought +to 800-326-3264 Exptheir 1432# table, Maas said.

Kermit’s, located on South Main Street, offers a unique Family Weekend dining option for those visiting Bowling Green. A family– owned business since 198, Kermit’s Family Restaurant, has caught the attention of others, too being named one of the “101 Best Places to Eat in Ohio”. Many people might associate Kermit’s with the name of a well-known frog in popular culture. However, General Manager Cassy Maas, the daughter of the owner, explains the restaurant is named after her grandfather, who was a carpenter and built houses in the area. Maas explained the family-friendly atmosphere Kermit’s has been wellknown for. “You can come and sit, and you can see friends. You know who these people are,” she said. Kermit’s is like Bowling Green because, even with the University present, there is still a unique “old-town fashion feel” to it that many areas don’t have anymore, she said. Along with the home-style feeling, Kermit’s offers a family-friendly atmosphere with its family employees. Some of Maas’ relatives work as cooks
sound and light show, a DJ and glow in the dark bowling. The Woodland Mall offers fun as well, with some specialty shops and the Cinemark Theater, located inside. Movies at this theater are priced lower than most, and all five screens are always showing new, upto-date movies. Showings for the family this weekend include Hotel Transylvania, Frankenweenie and Pitch Perfect, all playing Friday through Sunday. Another great reason to explore the town of Bowling Green is the many restaurants the city has to offer. Many of them have famous dishes and loyal customers. Stop in to Myles Pizza Pub for one of the famous eight specialty pizzas or make a run to Campus Pollyeyes for an order of must-have stuffed breadsticks. Room for dessert? Stop into Little Miss Cupcakes for specialty cupcakes and cake pops, or Myles Dairy Queen for an oversized Blizzard. Whether your family wants to take in all campus offers or do some exploring around the city, it should not be too difficult to find something to do this Family Weekend.

Kermit’s also serves comfort food, such as pork chops, cheeseburgers and mashed potatoes, during lunch and dinner hours. A popular item during these hours is the tandoori, which is a flat bread sandwich that is crunchy on the outside and soft of the inside, Maas said. Fillings for tandoories can vary from bacon cheeseburger to pizza to philly steak. Kermit’s also offers kidfriendly menu items that come in small portions, such as fries, D I corndogs and spaghetti. Maas also helps make callto-order pies, which customers can pick up the next day if they choose. Along with a variety of comfort food menu items, Kermit’s offers a convenience for its customers once it is time for them to pay the tab. Kermit’s has accepted credit cards for a year and half, according to Maas, which helps families out. ®
