brief Three University students indicted for aggravated robbery A grand jury indicted three University students involved in the armed robbery that happened on Oct. 8. Thomas James, 21; Thomas Kolleh, 19; and Timothy Sewell Jr., 21, all of Bowling Green, were indicted Wednesday for aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, both first degree felonies, said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief of the Bowling Green Police Division. The robbery occurred at 524 N. Enterprise St., where the three men allegedly held two victims at gunpoint and stole their marijuana shortly after a drug deal. Sewell, who lives in the apartment complex next door, was initially arrested on Oct. 9 for trafficking in drugs but was later connected to the robbery, Hetrick said. Police discovered Sewell had set up the initial transaction of drugs before the robbery took place, Hetrick said. James and Kolleh were arrested after police posted a picture online of them walking in Offenhauer Towers, he said. James, an Offenhauer resident, contacted police after seeing himself in the picture and came down to the station, Hetrick said. After further questioning, he was arrested on Oct. 11. Kolleh, a Kreischer resident, was arrested Oct. 14. Police have issued a warrant for Sewell’s arrest while James and Kolleh are currently in custody, Hetrick said. James and Kolleh’s preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. Monday, according to municipal court dockets.

Tuition, other $5,000 for undergrads Student and general fees earn 71 percent of Univeristy revenue in 2014
By Ethan Easterwood Senior Reporter
Most college students understand that college tuition can be expensive, but where does all that money go? “When I first came to BG I knew that there were costs such as fees and tuition but I didn’t necessarily understand how the money was allocated,” said David Neely, vice president of Undergraduate Student Government and
accounting major. “I assumed the tuition was for course instruction and paying salaries of professors.” According to the Board of Trustees proposed budget for fiscal year 2014, the total tuition and fees charged to a full time, in-state undergraduate would be $5,295. This total includes student fees and general fees, and each is allocated differently. “I think tuition goes to teachers salaries and to better the school,” sophomore Travis
Robertson said. Student fees are another term for tuition while general fees are used for non-academic services such as campus activities, athletics and organizations. According to the General Fees and Related Auxiliary Budget, students will pay $747 in general fees for the 2014 calender year. The two combined are the largest source

A SUB-MERGED BUSINESS Closure of Dave’s Cosmic Subs bumps vacancies downtown storefronts, spaces to 11 percent
This October the Wood County Historical Center and Museum will be getting people in the mood for the Halloween season. Folklore Fridays will be hosted by the museum and take place on October 18 and 25. Ninety-minute tours will take guests through the museum as well as areas including a cemetery and a log cabin featuring a 19th century wake. Actors at the cabin will talk about infant mortality and life as a pioneer. The museum itself used to be an infirmary for the mentally ill, a topic which will be touched on during the tours, said museum Director Dana Nemeth. The event started as a way for local stories to be told, said Kelli Kling, marketing and events coordinator.

Dave’s cosmic Subs on East Wooster Street will close due to lack of business
It may be hard for some to think that businesses downtown aren’t always booming. But in the past few years, businesses have come and gone from downtown, including Squeaker’s Vegetarian Cafe, Little Miss Cupcakes and most recently, Dave’s Cosmic Subs, which will close Saturday. “Opening a small business is a crap shoot,” said Barbara Ruland, director of Downtown Bowling Green. “It’s risky, it’s hard work; people put their life savings and time into it so you want to see it succeed.” Dave’s Cosmic Subs will join 15 other empty storefronts or spaces out of 140 total in the downtown area, leaving an 11 percent vacancy. “We just didn’t have enough business to stay open,” said

Business declined at the Bowling Green location in the summer and management hoped when fall semester started things would pick up again, said Catherine Cooper, assistant manager. “After the semester began, we still didn’t get business,” Cooper said, who noted the store closed in summer 2012, before reopening that October under new management. Cooper said it was unlikely the store would open again. There are many factors that can cause a business to fail, such as prices and rent, said Dwayne Gremler, University marketing professor. “Because businesses in downtown BG would have students as primary customers, who have limited resources and income, a key decision is price,” Gremler said. “A lower price

“We get a lot of stories that f loat through the museum so it’s a good opportunity to share those stories,” Kling said. Volunteer Coordinator Tim Gaddie said that while the stories are part of the county history, they aren’t all necessarily proven. He still believes, though, that the stories are “a legitimate part of the county history.” “Personally, I like that it’s a different aspect of history,” Gaddie said. “Having a chance to play with the oral history and how it changes is interesting to me.” While some stories will be based in actual history, some may be further removed from reality. Gaddie said some stories will deal with ghosts and the paranormal. Even if guests don’t necessarily believe paranormal stories, they usually still enjoy them, Gaddie said.

makes you more competitive, but that cuts in profit margins ... because rent must be high, so the room for competitive prices is very thin.” Competition is also a factor, as Subway and Jimmy John’s also share the customer base, Gremler said. Students may be more likely to go to the large franchises unless they already know of Dave’s, he said. Cooper said the store’s location hurt them because by the time people reached them, they had eaten at Subway or Pita Pit. However, locations in other college towns are holding up. “You need businesses to order catering to boost business,” said Brian Buehner, owner of the Dave’s Cosmic Subs in Kent, Ohio near Kent State University. “You can’t just rely on the kids.” Another problem some businesses might have is being too specialized, such as Squeaker’s or Little Miss Cupcakes, which both went out of business in 2012.

Gremler said. “Bowling Green might not be large enough to support such a specialized store,” he said. Though some specialized businesses don’t make it downtown, others survive. Lori Hanway, owner of A Taste of Amish Deli, where Little Miss Cupcakes was previously located, considers herself specialized as well, but still appealing to a large customer base. Both businesses moved to the location on East Wooster Street from the Woodland Mall. Hanway isn’t intimidated by the fate of her predecessor. “We have a lot of specialized products, not just one, so we can hit a lot of audiences,” Hanway said, who has been in business for more than seven years and moved downtown in March. Though some businesses have failed, leaving vacancies, Hanway’s is one of a few new businesses in the downtown area along with Loonar Station, Blo and Melt Shoppe, which is currently being renovated. “BG is a university

Nemeth said she likes sharing different aspects of history with the people of Bowling Green. “I think there’s an interest in the community about the stories behind the infirmary,” Nemeth said. “It gives us a chance to talk about things in our collections and on our grounds that aren’t part of the regular tour.” Tours will be at 7, 8 and 9 p.m. on each Friday. The entrance fee is $10 and $8 for students. To attend the event, guests must call and reserve a spot. Kling said this is done to know how many people are coming ahead of time. Kling said the museum likes to keep groups small to give everyone a good experience. There will be about 20 people per group, with about nine groups per day. “We like to keep the tours intimate,” Kling said.

of revenue for the University, earning 71.1 percent of all revenue. Ohio provides 23 percent of funding for the University, leaving 4.9 percent to come from other income. The bulk of general fees, 55 percent or $410, goes to intercollegiate athletics. While 21 percent goes to pay the University’s debt and 8 percent goes to recreational sports. Other notable allocations are to the Union programs, campus activities, student media, shuttle service, health center and the marching band. “I feel that it is extrememly important for general fees to go to all of these things because each play their own role in the BG experience,” Neely said. “Without athletic events, student programming or useful buildings, it would make it nearly impossible to meet new people and have an amazing experience at BG.” All the money the University recieves from the state, tuition and general fees and other income is expected to amount to $280,521,158 for the 2014 fiscal year and it’s all budgeted to be expensed. “Keep in mind enrollment and tuition affect our revenue,” said Sheri Stoll, chief finacial officer.

One percent goes to maintenance, 4 percent goes to utilities, 15 percent are for fee waivers and scholarships and 6 percent goes to equipment, library, consulting and the rest goes to other miscellaneous expenses. “As long as the money goes to something that the majority of students use, I’m okay with it,” sophomore Anna Ponx said. The University has been receiving less and less state funding every year. For 2014, the University is expecting to receive $64,391,394 from the state, whereas in 2009 it received more than 88 million. “That’s a big shift,” said Senior Communications Director David Kielmeyer. “The reality is if your parents went to college it was subsidized more than yours.” In the mid-80s, the University was receiving almost 55 percent of its income from the state, Keilmeyer said. “It’s just reality,” Keilmeyer said. “Not a criticism, it’s just the way the numbers are.” Within the past decade, the University has constructed several new buildings including the Union, the Wolfe Center, Centennial and Falcon Heights. “When the University builds, they don’t pay out of the operating budget,” Stoll said. “It saves money in a ‘savings account’ and issues bonds. It’s similar to a mortgage.” Money owed on the Union alone is $2,658,281. With each student’s general fees at $747, $35 of that goes to debt allocation.
“I also hope that if students are made more aware of where their dollars go,” Neely said, “that they will be more inclined to attend University events.”

Volunteers turn live concert into TV show Live Wire aims to host national, local artists together By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor
If someone misses a favorite band perform at the Cla-Zel, there’s always PBS on television. Live Wire is hosted every first Thursday of each month consisting of local and national acts and is also filmed for PBS strictly by volunteers from University students and faculty, along with community members of 88.1 WBGU-FM. Faculty adviser and instructor in the department of Telecommunications Stephen Merrill is one of the founders of Live Wire and said the concept of the idea was thought of in 2011 and was put into action February 2012. We wanted to touch base upon the local music scene in Bowling Green and as a credible music scene for the whole Midwest, he said. “It was a chance for us to connect with the Cla-Zel but also to give my students a better sense of how to ... produce fun concerts and present it as a television show,” Merrill said. “Why should television shows from PBS only come from other places?” Merrill decided to host Live Wire at a venue like Cla-Zel because it’s a larger place to film for a show and its lighting effects
work well when shooting in high definition quality. “It has the right space to be able to effectively shoot a show,” Merrill said. “It has high enough ceilings, space to move around and it has a relatively large stage.” Senior Chris Cedar has been involved with Live Wire since day one and oversees everything from the television perspective during the live shows. He said the organization has developed sincerely since it first started to the show being professionalized now. “We want to make Live Wire a thing that will last for a long time and for what Bowling Green is known for,” Cedar said. “That’s our goal is to make it very big and something Bowling Green can be proud of.” Deciding on bands to perform depends on if the artists are acceptable to be presented on television such as not having any profanity on stage and are television safe. Water-pop band Super Water Sympathy played many dates during this past summer’s Vans Warped Tour and have collaborated with B.o.B on his album “Strange Clouds.” The band performed for Live Wire in

Musicians use coffee shop as side show during tours By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor
Kelly Wicks walked into a room at Grounds For Thought and turned the music volume up throughout the shop. “People are surprised that this was recorded in a coffee shop because the sound is live and rich, said Wicks, co-owner of Grounds For Thought. “The sound is shocking.” The music being played is from a live-recorded version of Texas Blues singer/songwriter Andrew “Jr. Boy” Jones’ song “I Need Time,” which was recorded and produced during a live session the artist performed at Grounds For Thought. The shop has hosted artists from throughout the world once a month to perform live for more than 15 years. It has started to record and produce artists during their live sets once a year
since 2010, with Jones being the latest live album to have been recorded. Wicks said when the recording is finished being produced, the sound is clear because of the environment for each show. “We’ve got 200 people standing here to absorb the sound and bookshelves where the sound can go into,” Wicks said. “It’s more just about balance and tone. The goal is to try and capture the essence of a live recording.” Jones is from Texas and performed for the live recording at the end of a tour and said “We don’t typically play at coffee shops.” “It was intimate and a great audience and I just couldn’t have asked for anything better and I liked it,” Jones said. “It was us live and it sounds great.” Sound engineer Alex Hann has

Reckless driving not worth consequences Healthcare needed for developed society aLYSSA BENES COLUMNIST
Over fall break, I got pulled over for the first time. I was driving at night with my passenger side tail light out. Because of my clean driving record and a nice police officer, I didn’t get a ticket, but was told to get it fixed quickly. I was still absolutely terrified. The next day, I went to an auto parts store and got new light bulbs and replaced them. I then began to think about how lucky I was. First of all, I escaped a $120 ticket. But even more than that, I realized how lucky I was that I hadn’t been doing a handful of other illegal and reckless things that teenagers and college kids tend to do that would have made the ticket much more expensive, such as speeding or texting. I began to think about how reckless of a driver I can be sometimes. I’m used to driving on I-75 to back home in Michigan. The 120-mile drive takes me about two hours if I obey the speed limit [60-70 in Ohio, 70 in Michigan]. I don’t usually speed in Ohio [because if you didn’t know, the Ohio police really don’t like Michigan drivers], but in Michigan, my minimum speed is 75, which very rarely gets someone pulled over. However, I have to admit that most of the time, I drive somewhere between 75 and 85 mph.
“I don’t normally text while driving, unless it’s a quick text or emergency.” At most, that cuts 15 minutes off of my drive. Is 15 minutes less really worth it? Going 15 mph more than the speed limit is dangerous, especially in traffic. I don’t normally text while driving, unless it’s a quick text or emergency. The only time I usually touch my phone while I’m driving is to change the song that I’m listening to. I know it’s still dangerous, but I do it anyway. My point is, as teenagers and college kids, we often don’t think about the consequences of actions that seem so harmless. Driving takes focus and really requires our full attention. It also requires us to be safe. Laws are in place for that reason. I speed to get home faster, but only 15 minutes at most while going 15 more than the speed limit, which isn’t only dangerous for me, it’s also dangerous for everyone else on the road. On the road, things happen so fast. The faster that someone is going, the faster bad things can happen and come up out of nowhere. I know most college kids speed, text, talk on their phones, etc. while driving, not to mention driving drunk. It’s all dangerous, so why do we do it? Are we really in that
much of a hurry? Is that text message really that important? Is any of this dangerous stuff really worth it? After I got pulled over, I really got to thinking about it. Cutting 15 minutes off of my drive isn’t really that important. It’s 15 minutes more that I get to be home. Most of the time when I’m driving home, it’s at night and by the time I get there, my parents are already asleep, so it’s not even about spending time with my family. Back when I was 16, a close friend of mine was killed in a car accident. It’s something that I’ve remembered every day since it happened and that has really impacted my life. Yet, I still take risks and do stupid things while I drive. Sunday evening, when I was driving back to Bowling Green, I went 75 mph all through Michigan and followed ever y speed limit in Ohio. It took me 15 minutes longer to drive back down here, but it was worth it. I knew that I wasn’t doing anything unnecessary that would put my life or someone else’s life at risk or risk getting an expensive ticket. We need to realize that driving requires our full attention and that there are laws in place to keep everyone on the road safe. Obeying them not only saves lives, it also can save us from spending money that as college students, we don’t necessarily have.

As of Oct. 1, Americans without health insurance have been able to sign up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act; also known as Obamacare. Unless one’s head has been under a rock for a considerable amount of time, one can see that this act is one of the most controversial programs to emanate from D.C. in eons. As a supporter of this law, I will tell you with a clear mind and conscience that Obamacare should not be a lightning rod for any dispute. What should be the lightning rod is the Republican Party’s actions in shuttering the federal government to defund Obamacare. Equally disgraceful is what they plan to do to cover those working individuals who lack health coverage. Their plan for today has always been their plan: to do nothing. America is the only developed country in the world to not provide its citizens with health coverage. Nations such as Great Britain, France, Germany, and Canada provide cradle-to-grave coverage and view such policy as good government. The conservatives in our fair land tell you that health coverage is a personal responsibility and that government is much too inefficient to do a good job administering it. These two lies would be laughable if people were not dying because of them. And make no mistake, they are dying.
How is it personal responsibility when one is denied health insurance because of a pre-existing condition? What about being denied because of a problem caused by big business greed; the problem of not being able to find full-time employment so employers can then deny health coverage? These atrocities are beginning to be corrected through Obamacare. What about the employers who offer insurance but offer either unaffordable or wholly inadequate plans? Obamacare addresses that also. Being unable to pay for private insurance because of shoddy and ridiculously expensive plans is not a dereliction of personal reasonability; yet the Republicans would love for America to believe just that. As for government-run health care being inefficient, that is a dastardly lie. America’s federal healthcare programs, Medicare and Medicaid, spend less on paperwork and administration as a percentage of total cost than does the private healthcare cabal. They are also more effective. America now lags behind other nations who have government healthcare in every age demographic save one: senior citizens. Why are our senior citizens now on par with those in these other nations? It is because senior citizens in America are able to free themselves from the shackles of private health insurance and sign up for Medicare. Given all these facts about the ineffectiveness of private health insurance and the effectiveness of government-run healthcare, why do conservatives
in America fight it so? Why did they shut the government down over a program passed by Congress, signed by the President, and deemed constitutional by the United States Supreme Court? I believe the answer is simple, direct, and twopronged. The first answer is one Americans do not want to hear. The conservatives against Obamacare care about only one thing: profits. They care about profits for the insurance and hospital industries. The other prong in the answer is the one Americans really turn a deaf ear to. The conservatives against governmentrun healthcare programs like Obamacare want Americans to work until they get sick and then die. Yes, they are the lords and we are the serfs. Their world is a happy one of haves and have-nots. They love the uninsured American being a havenot. They are gluttons who see our country as a game of profit and loss. Specifically, they profit while we lose. While this sounds harsh and partisan, examination of the debate and the facts make this the only conclusion. It is time for us Americans to smarten up. It is time to realize that not all Americans want everyone to succeed. It is time to be realistic. There are hogs among us, hogs who fight to do things like deny healthcare. I am a supporter of Obamacare precisely because of two reasons: it actually helps people and it infuriates the hogs in the political system.

I’m in a learn-to-skate class at the Ice Arena. It’s the highlight of my Sunday, though I can’t say watching the kids in the class before me whiz around does a lot for my confidence. Clearly, this was another earlystart sport. I felt that old doubt creep back again. I couldn’t be too old, I figured, or else they wouldn’t have adult classes.

lbgt From Page 1 have questions about the LGBTQ community. There have been a number of other things Vision planned, including a keynote speaker on Tuesday, Kye Allums, the first transgender player in the NCAA. Amy Finklebine, vice president of Vision learned to not get too involved with the importance of labeling and identifying from Allums. “I got to hang out with the speaker, Kye, for a little bit in between his events,” sa id A my Fin k lebine. “One quote that I did take from his workshop is that he doesn’t like to refer to a process as transitioning because life is a transition, and that really stuck out to me that we are constantly changing and evolving who we are.” One of t he student organizations that has been involved in various aspects of Coming Out Week is the Multicultural Greek Cou nci l. T he council’s president, Jeff Devereuax, hosted a discussion on ways to make greek life a more safe and inviting place for the LGBTQ community. “Greek chapters and any organization in general needs to be a safe place for our LGBT members,” Devereuax said. The Multicultural Greek council is the governing group for six greek chapters on campus with the goal to create a more inclusive environment. Devereuax is a member of Delta Lamda Phi which is a “gay, bisexual, progressive, and trans fraternity.” “As a gay man, obviously I personally support the gay community, but I wanted to figure out how (the Multicultural Greek Council) as an organization could support it,” he said. There are more events coming up this weekend to wrap up Coming Out Week. There will be “Not So Straight Skate” event this Saturday that is open to the public. Vision is also putting on a scavenger hunt with the clues found on their Facebook page. “The point of the scavenger hunt is to bring people to different offices that are resources on campus,” Finklebine said.
Some studies find beer contains vitamin C, still bad in excess By Dylanne Petros Copy Chief
Instead of having an orange a day, some students may have a beer instead. Studies have concluded that beer contains vitamin C, an antioxidant that is often found in fruits like oranges and kiwis. People are often told to take vitamin C in order to stay healthy and stop themselves from getting colds. People might be able to substitute a beer in place of an orange, but large amounts might not be good. “Beer in excess is bad … if you are thinking about drinking a beer, fine … drinking a case of beer is not gonna keep you from getting a cold,” said Mary Jon Ludy, assistant professor in the Dietetics and Family and Consumer Sciences Department. Vitamin C can also extend the shelf life of beer. “Sometimes vitamin C is used as a food preservative,” Ludy said. There are different kinds of vitamin C that can be found in food and drinks, she said. “Vitamin C that … would be added to beer as a preservative is a stereoisomer …
[which] is like a mirror image,” Ludy said. This means that the vitamin C in beer is not vitamin C, but a mirror image of the antioxidant, Ludy said. Since some beers are made with different ingredients, this means some alcohol might actually be better than others. “If a beer is made from hops it contains an antioxidant that … it interferes with cancer cells so inhibits the growth of cancer cells and also inhibits inflammation,” Ludy said. The antioxidant is called xanthohumol and it has no taste, which is why researchers haven’t discovered it until just recently. Since some beers have hops and hops can help with health, advertisers are letting their customers know the health benefits. A person needs 60 milligrams of vitamin C in their daily diet, Ludy said. Senior Carolyn Bajaksouzian never knew that beer contained vitamin C. Instead she eats healthy to get her recommended 60 milligrams of vitamin C. “I drink orange juice and try to eat as well as I can,” Bajaksouzian said. There are some beers that contain up
to half of the daily recommendation of vitamin C. “One serving of [Budweiser] beer contains between 0 and 30 milligrams of vitamin C,” Ludy said. There have been some studies that compare the health benefits of wine to beer but Ludy believes that both may be good for people to have as long as it is in moderation. “A lot of the benefits of wine or the benefits of beer … really depends on where it’s grown,” she said. Junior Spencer Lee did not know about beer and vitamin C but after learning about the potential health benefits, he feels like he could add beer to his diet. “I would add one a day along with the fruits and vegetables I already eat,” Lee said. Whether people add beer to their diet for vitamin C or stick to their fruits and vegetables or do a combination of both, Ludy believes both would be OK to have. “Everything is OK in moderation,” Ludy said.
Rally speaks against violence Student groups march against sexual, street harassment in annual Take Back the Night By Jodi Abazoski Reporter
Roars of “take back the night” could be heard throughout Bowling Green Thursday night as FORCE hosted a march starting on campus, going down to Court Street, Main Street and ending back at discussion rooms in Hannah Hall. Prior to the march, there was a rally in the Union for the annual Take Back the Night rally and march against street harassment and violence. “We’ve expanded Take Back the Night. It’s still about sexual assault and violence, but it’s also about street harassment and especially how street harassment impacts other communities as well. We want to connect that and how [street harassment] impacts people of color and queer and
trans communities,” said Alexandra Lahey, president of the Feminist Organization Raising Consciousness and Empowerment [FORCE]. “Oppression is different for all of us, but I believe we can all unite together and sort of build power to change our community.” There was a strong feeling of community during the event. Representatives from various groups like the Office of Women and Gender Studies and the Latino Student Union came together to support the march. The main point was giving people from all minority groups a voice against violence. “I think we all know that marginalized communities experience violence in a much higher rate than the general public,“ Lahey said. Performances came from students like Katie Franklin
and Lana Adams. They signed to a song by Dar Williams called “When I Was a Boy.” There were two musicians that performed as well. Lahey said that music is a good way to come together in an event like this. Greg Gantt of the Black Student Union spoke about Trayvon Martin. He said events like Take Back the Night are important because they allow students to address the things they need to do to make change. “No issue is greater than another, we’re all here fighting for rights,” he said. For some students, Take Back the Night was their first opportunity to get involved with FORCE. “This is my first time with FORCE, one of my suite mates is very actively involved [with FORCE] and she encouraged me to come,” said freshman

Hannah Scheppler. “I’ve been very interested in feminism. I’ve maybe had some experiences with street harassment, but I’m very passionate about the victims in general.” Other students returned to this year’s event because of its new message of including more communities. “One of the special things about Take Back the Night this year is that it’s also focusing on street harassment of LGBT people as well as people of color,” said sophomore Edward Vaughn. During the actual march, people came together with signs reading “enough is enough” and “consent is sexy.” Lahey transitioned from the rally to the march with one lasting sentiment: “If you’re ever experiencing violence, please do not be afraid to ask for help.”

Falcons host Colgate in two game weekend series By Corey Krupa Reporter
The BG men’s ice hockey team will host the Colgate University Raiders in a two game series Friday and Saturday both at 7:07 p.m. BG is coming off an impressive 4-3 comeback win over the Ohio State University Buckeyes this past Tuesday night in front of a packed house at the BGSU Ice Arena. The Raiders currently have a record of 2-1 after splitting a home stand with the Ferris State University Bulldogs. Ferris State won the season opener 7-4 but Colgate won the next night 1-0. The Raiders’ last game was a 4-1 win on Oct. 10 against the Rochester Institute of Technology. The Falcons have a 6-1-1 all-time record against Colgate, with their only loss last year. Colgate head coach Don Vaughan has 21 years under his belt and as the Raiders head coach, has 328 career wins, the most in program history. Vaughan has helped Colgate reach four 20-win seasons, 19 appearances in the Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament, and two NCAA tournament berths. BG forwards Bryce Williamson and Ben Murphy lead the team in goals as each have two goals during three games. Williamson also recorded an assist against Ohio State for an individual total of three points on the season. He is also the only Falcon to have a multi-point game so far. Bowling Green has 10 skaters with at least a point and each skater has played in every game. Goaltender Tommy Burke earned his first victory of the season Tuesday when he made 25 saves and held Ohio State scoreless during the intense third period. Burke now has improved his overall record to 6-6-3 in his career. BG has improved their work on special teams this year. The Falcons were 7-8 (88 percent) on the penalty kill this

Head coach Lindsay Basalyga said a weekend of traveling does not affect her team much because by now they have developed their own routine on the road. She added that road matches provide a more family-like atmosphere that brings the team together more so than home matches. Buffalo has an overall record of 4-7-2 and a MAC record of 1-5-0, including a home record of 2-5-2. The Falcons are 3-1-1 on the road at Buffalo.

Akron returned 22 letterwinners, including nine starters, from a 2012 team that went 6-111 overall and 2-8-1 in conference play. Sophomore for ward Emma Norris said the key to Sunday’s match for the Falcons is sticking to what they do best and exploiting Akron’s weaknesses. “Akron’s going to be a good team and it’ll be a tough game, but if we play

As another basketball season begins, the men’s basketball team finds themselves with big shoes to fill this year with the loss of its two leading scorers in Austin Calhoun and Jordan Crawford. Both players averaged approximately 15 points a game last year with about 34 minutes played per game as well. “It’s going to be tough replacing Austin and Jordan,” Assistant Coach LeMonta Stone said. “The fact that we could practice a little earlier is really going to help this group.” That loss leaves this basketball team searching for new scoring options. Instead of searching for another two people to carry the scoring load, they will focus on making it a team job. This switch is forcing the players to pick up different roles within the team. “Everybody is stepping up in their absence in terms of new positions,” junior Chauncey Orr said. “We have talented guys coming in and returning from last year. I think we will be fine.”
With the benefit of starting practice earlier, the coaching staff has been able to work with the team to show them where they will get the ball and where they can find open shots within the offense. Some players will go through a change from being the third or fourth scoring option to the first or second option, Stone said. “I think we can put four or five guys on the court that is going to make it tough to guard us as a team,” Stone said. “This year you are going to stop a team instead of stopping a few players.” Practice is not just about helping the team find their roles for this year, though the team has been running a lot more than they usually have to prepare for the season, said redshirt junior Anthony Henderson. The Falcons will finally get the chance to step up on basketball court and play a full speed game with the Orange and Brown scrimmage being held this Saturday at noon. Although this will be an inter-squad scrimmage, the team is excited for its chance to play again. “It is going to be a long
time since we actually had officials and everything,” Henderson said. “It gives us a chance to see how we play together with officials and just for the fans to see what we can do.” As the season nears closer, the Falcons will be trying to improve off of the 13-19 record and 7-9 record in the Mid-American Conference last year. Their goal has not changed this year even with the new roles given to the players; their goal is still a MAC championship and a NCAA tournament berth, Stone said. “I feel like last season, in my eyes, was a disappointment,” Henderson said. “I definitely feel that we have something to prove.” The Falcons will hold their Orange and Brown scrimmage Saturday at noon in the Stroh Center and then they will have their first exhibition game Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. “You get anxious and a little bit nervous before each basketball season,” Orr said. “At the same time we all have to stay calm and know that this is just a basketball game and we have to have fun and play together out there then we will be fine.”

The two hip-hop artists had previously been making their own music, which both sides contained profanity. It wasn’t until after they met and started going to Cru meetings, an organization about people who explore life and try to find God, that ended up having a major impact on their music. “I want it to be uplifting music to shine a light on the blessings that you have,” Byrd said. “We have a song called ‘Hallelujah’ which is about real life and what people are going through everyday. It’s what you see and what you feel. It’s OK to live, but the good news is that God saved you.” After Byrd and Blair started attending Cru meetings, they met staff member of the organization Nick Gillispie who inf luenced the artists about who God is. Gillispie said he tried to challenge the two friends to make their own life group
LIVEWIRE From Page 3 September and lead vocalist Ansley Hughes said it was great to perform for something that was just starting to make a name for itself in the area. “It was a cool thing to perform for and having something like [Live Wire] first starting out is the

on campus, which eventually led to the start of T.E.C. “I think my affiliation came because I wanted them to be reflected in their art, create music and influence people on campus,” Gillispie said. “Having them experience those things through God, they naturally wanted that to be reflected in what they’re creating.” T.E.C consists of more than 20 members from the University, such as promoters, engineers, singers, rappers and the group has performed at Grumpy Dave’s, Howard’s Club H and Cla-Zel. The hip-hop group hosts parties so they can play their own music rather than trying to get other DJs to play their music at other places. Engineer and sophomore Ja’Mario “Jay Wells” Wells uses a software called Pro Tools to mix and edit the songs. He sometimes stays up until four or five in the morning to work on everything. “It’s something I’ve always done since I was in
seventh grade,” Wells said. Another aspect of the group comes from sophomore and DJ Kyrie “DJ Reezey” Austin. His grandfather was a pastor, inf luencing his faith in God as a child. “I try to help write songs and to bring people around,” Wells said. “We all do it together as a group.” Blair said he thrives off of creating songs that do not contain any profanity and have even had other artists come up to him and say they have respect for T.E.C. “It makes sense to not use any profanity anyway because this way you can reach all ages with your songs instead of only older people,” Blair said. “Many rappers are afraid to rap about spirituality, but we’re not.” T.E.C are expecting an album release called “A1 Since Day1” as early as Nov. 8 and are in the works for hosting a charity event near Thanksgiving for people to donate canned food to the homeless shelter in Toledo.
same thing as how a band starts out,” Hughes said. “It has a lot to do with how everyone is talking about it and words travel fast. The people involved have to be excited about it and having a scene in a small community is great.” One local artist to perform at Live Wire is Mark Dally’s project Balloon Messenger. Dally said before performing, the audience viewed an
interview on screens beforehand, making the atmosphere seem a little more professional. “It’s neat to record your live performance and look back on it later,” Dally said. “The flow of the night was set up very intelligently and it’s exciting to see a venue investing in local artists.” Live Wire’s next show will be on Nov. 7 at the Cla-Zel.
“It’s also a nice place to record because the audience is so great.” Wicks said Bowling Green is fortunate enough to make many different types of artists on tour be able to stop in town on their way to another venue in a bigger city such as Detroit, Cleveland and Dayton.
“We don’t book seven nights a week and for people to come to these shows, they know once a month they’re going to see a really good live act,” Wicks said. “People know that they can count on the show being good. That’s what helps keep good crowds coming back month after month.”
