When it’s late at night, the usual route through campus to a desired destination may not seem so safe. That’s why the University Department of Public Safety offers students, faculty and staff the buddy system to accompany them on their trek. Through the campus Service Officer Program, students, faculty and staff can call the University police and ask for an escort to walk them to their destination, said Capt. Mike Campbell. The service runs every day from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. “For a ny reason someone may feel uncomfortable walking on campus a lone ... this adds security and precaution,” Campbell said. The program started in 1986 and currently consists of 11 service officers, said Sgt. Sean Beavers, who runs the program. Some double up as officers, others are students, Beavers said. Hiring students to do the job has mutual benefits. “It helps the police department out because it frees us up for other calls,” Beavers said. Aside from giving escorts, the service officers also jump start cars, unlock vehicles and unlock buildings, he said. Sophomore Kate Beal used the escort service last month and said it made her night a lot easier. Beal was at Founder’s Hall at 2 a.m. but needed to go to Falcon Heights. “It was really dark outside and I didn’t feel like walking,” Beal said. “I thought it was a really good opportunity to have on campus.” Though Beal said she was driven, Beavers said that service isn’t offered as much as before. “People were abusing the system because they were too lazy

CREATIVE WRITING SERIES | 2 of 2
Wide range of career opportunities available with writing degree By Dominic Binkley Reporter
Not every student majoring in creative writing is destined to become a best-selling novelist, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have other career opportunities. The University offers the only Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in creative writing in the state of Ohio, which attracts students from around the state who want to be writers and who want instate tuition, said Lawrence Coates, director of creative writing at the University.

The program has maintained a steady number of between 80 and 100 majors throughout the years and has around 40 minors this year, Coates said. But while many other degrees are tailored to specific careers, the creative writing major doesn’t guarantee a job as a writer, he said. “I’m not going to lie, if you take an accounting degree, you know what you’re going to be doing,” Coates said. “If you take a creative writing degree, some people become writers and other people use those skills in
other ways.” Coates said the program teaches “transferable skills” that all employers look for like writing clearly and creatively and thinking critically, which can land graduates jobs in fields such as publicity, publishing, journalism or anything that needs language and creative thought. “Something about that creative part of the degree I think catches people’s eye,” he said.

THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN WISHES TO REMIND MOTORISTS OF THE REGULATIONS PROHIBITING PARKING ON CERTAIN STREETS DURING SNOW, ICE OR SLEET CONDITIONS.
The regulations prohibit parking on the designated streets (including all cul-de-sacs) during “Snow Emergencies.� A “Snow Emergency� can be declared if snow, ice, or sleet is forecast, and in any case will automatically become effective without a declaration when the snow depth reaches two inches (2�). When a Snow Emergency is declared the news media will be advised. The declaration will contain the effective time of the emergency. If snow reaches a depth of two inches without a Snow Emergency having been declared, the police desk will be able to advise the official time at which snow reached the two inch depth. If a Snow Emergency becomes effective between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., motorists have two hours in which to remove their vehicles from the designated streets. If the Snow Emergency becomes effective between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., motorists have until 9:00 a.m. to remove their vehicles from the designated streets. Vehicles remaining on the designated streets in violation of the regulations are subject to being towed at owner expense. If a particularly bad storm is forecast, additional streets may be designated in the declaration of emergency. If this should happen, every effort will be made to notify the news media and to post temporary “NO PARKING� signs. The designated streets are called “SNOW STREETS� and are printed below. “SNOW STREET� signs have been erected on snow streets. It is pointed out, however, that the absence of signs will not relieve motorists of responsibility for improper parking. Although the City will make every effort to inform the public of the existence of probable development of weather conditions requiring removal of motor vehicles from snow streets, motorists are still responsible for determining probable or existing weather conditions and removing their vehicles if required by the regulations.

Junior Anastasia Norris gets a Sharpie tattoo from a tattoo artist from Studio 14 in the Union ballroom.
Tattoo seminary traces history, safety precautions By Jodi Abazoski Reporter
Roughly 40 people, some with ink and some without, attended the Studio 14 tattoo seminar on Tuesday, hosted by University Activities Organization. The presentation, which lasted 45 minutes, was set up in the Union ballroom with tables displaying information about tattoos and piercings. People were able to get involved in the event by playing some of the guessing games at the tables, getting a free consultation and sketch from a Studio 14 artist, and touring the small art gallery set up. “Our members set up little exhibits which all have different themes,� said Tarra Pease, UAO member. “We tried to make this informational but we don’t want it to be boring or seem like you’re in school.� UAO reached out to Studio 14 because some members thought that their normal event ideas were getting stale.
ESCORT From Page 1 to walk,� he said. “If it’s a serious injury or a security risk, they’ll give an escort to drive someone. But people were trying to get a free ride and that’s not what they are there for.� While the stats for this fall are still being recorded, this past fall, 133 escorts were used, 34 vehicles were unlocked and 8 buildings were unlocked, Beavers said.
“We wanted to branch out to different types of students so that’s when we came up with the tattoo idea,� Pease said. John Embry, a tattoo artist at Studio 14 for two and a half years, was the main speaker representing the shop. He said Studio 14 wanted to speak to students about three main points involving tattoo culture: history, safety and how to work with an artist when coming up with a custom tattoo. “We’re constantly trying to educate people in the shop but we can only get to one person at a time,� Embry said, “It gives us the opportunity with each person that comes here to hopefully pass on the useful information they hear.� Many students who attended the event wanted to support Studio 14 because of their reputation in the community. “I want tattoos and my family went to Studio 14 and they said they were really good,� said freshman Lucretia Tittle. Studio 14 follows all Ohio
As of now, the service is restricted to campus. If people want an escort from the city, Campbell suggests walking w ith friends, arranging for transportation or using the shuttle service. “T he ser v ice wa s desig ned for ca mpus use ... as an extra layer of security on campus,� he said. For people who are on campus, but somehow aren’t able to contact University police for an escort, Campbell suggested a few tips.
health codes with artists that go through blood borne pathogen training, Embry said. They also do all custom work. S en ior L ay ne Higginpothom wanted to come to the seminar not only because of her interest in tattoos and piercings, but because she is a fan of Studio 14. Even as someone with two tattoos and nine piercings, there was still some things presented for Higginpothom to learn. “The stuff about clean shops, reputable shops and aftercare, I already knew,� she said. “But the history of tattoo was pretty cool.� Embry ended the seminar with advice on how to properly tip tattoo artists. “We also cover a lot of little questions that people ask about in the shops, like ‘how do you guys get paid?’� he said. He said that a tip should reflect how much you enjoyed the tattoo experience and sometimes a small tip is more offensive than none at all.
“It helps the police department out because it frees us up for other calls.� Sean Beavers | Sergeant This included continuously sur vey ing surroundings, walking with friends, wa lk ing w ith hands free in well lit areas and using the blue lights if being followed. The number for the campus escort is 419372-8360.

Other universities promote anti-hate in different ways By Kendra Clark In Focus Editor
is mostly white, the city and University began a campaign to promote diversity and fight intolerance. Within the past year, several incidents directed mainly at the black community have led to the launch of a Not In Our Town campaign, a collaboration between the city of Bowling Green and the University. Talk of starting the campaign began in October 2012 with members of the President’s Advisory Council for Diversity and Inclusion collaborating with the student inclusion group led by Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students Jill Carr. It officially launched this past April, said Susana Peña, PACODI member and director of School of Cultural and Critical Studies and associate professor in Ethnic Studies. “It’s really about bringing people together to come up with a common mission,” Peña said. “Our goal is really to transform the culture.” The campaign finds its inspiration from the national campaign launched in 1995 as a result of a PBS documentary that highlighted hate crimes in Billings, Montana and the citizens who stood up for the victims. Today, the campaign has become a grassroots movement, spreading to hundreds of communities in the United States and around the world. The Bowling Green campaign, punctuated by forums on diversity in the community, a banner and pledge card for people to sign in support, developed the goal of bringing members of the University and city together. It not only promotes racial diversity, but all forms of diversity. “Our challenge is to bring the community forward into the 21st century,” said Dalton Jones, an assistant professor in Ethnic Studies and adviser to the Black Student Union. “It’s not all doom and gloom here but there’s work to be done.”
Discrimination against different forms of diversity is something that every school has to deal with, but they solve the problem in different ways. At the University, Not In Our Town was brought to the school to promote anti-hate and support inclusion for all types of people. Schools in Ohio have dealt with hate by creating their own campaigns, student groups, or using university-run organizations and departments. The Ohio State University has a campaign called No Place For Hate, which has similar aspects to NIOT, but it’s not a national campaign. “It is a grassroots initiative that started here,” said Terah Stewart, assistant director of intercultural programming. “It was developed after the Black Cultural Building had ‘long live Zimmerman’ spray painted on it.” George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin, a black teen, which sparked a national debate about whether the shooting came from self defense or was racially charged. The students marched to the OSU president, Gordon Gee, to demand changes be made, Stewart said. This happened on April 5, 2012 and No Place For Hate came shortly after. The group has been working to keep the climate on campus as inclusive as possible and we have created awareness events, Stewart said. “We started with race but the task force was for all,” he said. “It’s for faculty, staff and students and made up of them as well. This task force is specifically for matters perceived as hate.” Miami University tried to bring NIOT to the University, but it ended up not working out. “We tried to initiate the campaign last year after we had an issue with an inappropriate flyer,” said Resident Director and First Year Adviser Cory Duchesneau at MU. “We talked about it but didn’t end up doing anything with it. The exec board was so busy doing

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “People dressed up like Batman.”
TOM McCABE Sophomore, Marketing
Social, economic reform good, but can lead to crisis greg burleson Columnist I will speak bluntly. It is essential for a leader to have a sense of foresight and to anticipate problems before they arise. A society that lives in the moment, with little regard for the future, is doomed and a leader who only looks to the future will drive toward collapse. A leader who does not look to the future dictates that future generations will suffer heavily for an apparent lack of vision. To set the stage, it is important to note that the Roman Empire was in disarray in the third century. Military usurpation had become commonplace as wealthy Romans found great, but temporary, success in buying an army and deposing the sitting emperor. This extended period in Roman history is known as the third century crisis and is marked by the extremely unstable state of the government. While the Roman state had existed for hundreds of years as a true republic, those days were never to be seen again. A strong and innovative leader was necessary to “stop the bleeding” and save civilization in the Mediterranean. Enter Diocletian. In 284, Diocletian enacted a broad series of social and military reforms aimed at stabilizing the empire. Among these were a brilliant bit of military reforms to move soldiers off the frontier and into larger cities, which were strategically located to help prevent usurpation. Diocletian’s reforms also included economic reform aimed at reinvigorating the economy through even more dramatic measures. The reforms included measures to alter the coinage and set a maximum price for certain products. Needless to say, this decision to limit prices would make any leader very popular. This support from the masses, however, comes at a terrible cost. Now, let’s take a look at the problems these reforms caused. Diocletian’s decision to take soldiers off the frontiers and place them in urban centers created a longterm problem which helped make it easier for invading groups to ravage Rome; first on the perimeter and then

increasingly close to the core of the empire. Similarly, Diocletian’s economic reforms created an enormous long-term problem. Creating a maximum price on products, while making one popular at the time, completely undermined the basic economic principle of supply and demand. Along with this, people were frozen in the same professions as their parents. The problem here may not initially be obvious but this contributed to the decline in skilled labor in certain professions. It is not a coincidence that this is roughly the point in which Roman artistic work began to suffer as unskilled artists inherited the habits of their unskilled parents. Diocletian’s reforms had far-reaching consequences which he failed to foresee. In short, these reforms are proven through archaeology to have been a turning point in Roman society in which material goods begin to retract from the peripheral portions of the empire. Diocletian was unable to anticipate the long-term effects of his policy and, as a result, his domestic policy became a driving force behind the ever increasingly problematic Roman economy. This story provides a shining example of the importance of a leader who is constantly looking to the future. One of the great tragedies of this example is that Diocletian is, other than this attribute, a person who is the model of other essential qualities in leadership. Take for instance the fact that Diocletian was the only Roman emperor to abdicate power; doing it twice, in fact. In this sense, I am reminded of another monumental abdication of power. When Pope Benedict stepped down from his position, it forced a connection to be drawn between religion and leadership. Next, I will address a religious figure who lived roughly a century after Diocletian. This man may not be well known, but to those who are familiar with him, it is apparent he had an essential role in shaping Christian destiny and is largely accredited with creating the struggle of church vs. state in the western world.

True friends stick around during bad times, not just good kayla brandts Columnist
Friends: Everyone has them, right? Or, maybe everyone just thinks they do. Maybe those people you party with, you eat with and you hang out with shouldn’t actually be called your friends. It seems like today, the definition of having friends just means having a group of people around you. It doesn’t really matter if you actually like them or care about them. What is more important is that they are there. No one wants to be alone, so friendship is a great option. However, I think the word friendship gets thrown around inappropriately these days.

ECHARD, PHOTO EDITOR AMBER PETKOSEK, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR
We’re too quick to throw the “friend” label on people without really knowing what the word entails. It is more than just having momentary fun with someone. Friendship is not about how a person makes you feel. It is not based on circumstances, but rather it’s based on love. It means giving your friend the truth when it will spare them from acting foolishly, even if it jeopardizes the relationship. Actual friends will be willing to tell you what needs to be said, even if it’s not wrapped with a bow and pretty. Actual friends won’t just want to be around you when you are making them feel good, or when you are simply chasing moments of fun. They will stand by you when you’re sad or angry. In those moments when
ence where they thought their particular friendship was legitimate, only to discover that betrayal or insincerity was present. It is all too common that people’s selfishness gets in the way of their ability to be a good friend. Few things are more heartbreaking than discovering that the people closest to you never really cared for you or loved you. So choose your friends wisely. Surround yourself with those who genuinely love others and who care more about morality than what people think about them. In the same way, be that good friend. Be willing to put the needs of others ahead of yourself; that’s the true meaning of the word “friend.”
your circumstances are such that you don’t even want to be around yourself, they will come along side you. A real friend will not become scarce when you need help studying or you need someone to care for you when you are sick. This all may seem flowery and dramatic, but choosing to be a real friend makes a powerful impact on the lives of those we befriend. Conversely, the people we choose to be our friends should also be of vital concern, especially in college when you live, eat and study with them. We will eventually become like those with whom we spend time, whether we realize it or not. I look around and think about my own personal experiences and others that I have observed, and most everyone has had an experi-

The university plans other programs to promote diversity on campus, she said. “In our group, we have 89 different organizations on campus to represent different students from all over,” she said. “This year, we are taking over the diversity banquet ... we also have Diversity Week, where all organizations come to celebrate a theme and get the campus to celebrate diversity.” Ohio University does not have a program or group that unifies all types of diversity, but rather has different departments within the university. “Our diversity areas and all programs are separate,” said Winsome Chunnu, associate director of the multicultural center at OU. “There is an LGBT Center and Woman’s Center, but not one specific program.” Delfin Bautista, director for the
LGBT center at OU, said they are trying to make opportunities to go deeper into different identities within LGBT. “We are trying to see how can we be around raising awareness for different groups and allies,” she said. These intersections just started in June and they had one on sexuality and religion, Bautista said. Kent State University is the same as OU in that they do not have one program, but several within the University. “We have several programs and initiatives that promote inclusion and diversity across campus including a wide-range of offerings in diversity training development such as Safe Space training, Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention, and Cultural Competency,” said Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Alfreda Brown in an email. However, they do have a plan for the University to spread inclusion and diversity. “Our Division recently launched the university’s Equity Action Plan, a five-year strategic plan outlining specific and measurable outcomes to foster inclusion across difference within the university communities as well as externally,” Brown said in an email. In all, every school has something they are doing to help promote diversity and inclusion. NIOT is just one of the ways Bowling Green has chosen to tackle the issues.
Tweet your feelings about Not In Our Town and diversity issues @The_BG_News using
The Not In Our Town campaign has been recruiting as many organizations in the city as possible to join its cause. When the first racially charged tweeting incident occurred in April and the campaign was created, city officials joined in the dialogue. “We’re there as supporters,” said Mu n ic ipa l Ad m i n i st rator Joh n Fawcett, who was initially involved w it h t he ca mpa ig n w it h Mayor Richard Edwards. The w illingness to embrace diversity “identifies the kind of community we want to be — open and inviting. The community has a common goal of creating a nurturing environment for those who live there.” Some of the main city supporters of the campaign are the Human Relations Commission, city police and city administration. The campaign has since spread throughout the community from NIOT banners hanging at city events to decals on Bowling Green Police Division cars. The city also has four representatives on NIOT committees. “They’re working on a sense of a purposeful direction and they’re still making efforts,” Fawcett said. Barbara Keller, a member of the Human Relations Commission and NIOT committee member, said a main goal she has is getting more organizations to adopt the NIOT pledge. The goal is still in the early stages of planning, Keller said. Racism in the community “is not just a University thing,” she said. “The community needs to be involved because this is where the University is housed.” Curbing hate speech not only benefits the community, but also can help lower certain crimes. “We support their efforts to stamp out racism and hateful conduct,” said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief of city police. “Hate crime is a law in the books that we utilize in prosecutions.” In regards to the most recent tweeting incident about the Black Student Union, Hetrick said not much can be done.

Tolerance, equality education needed on campus kendra clark in focus editor
Last year, something bad happened to the campus. We had some tweets go viral that were offensive to not just the black community, but for the community of Bowling Green. However, these tweets weren’t the only bad things happening around campus. There were several other racially charged crimes that happened that led up to the campaign coming to the University. Not In Our Town was introduced, which promoted anti-hate and pro-diversity issues on campus. This was a great thing for the University to have, because not only did this help bring awareness to the racial problems we have seen, but also to other problems stemming from diversity as well. I can guarantee that there were other crimes committed to different students on campus that have gone unreported, especially ones from other diversity groups that have accepted the abuse or just don’t want to be called out. I walk around campus every day and I hear comments f rom students talking with their friends, say ing things that one wouldn’t think
were possible to say anymore in the 21st century. That is why it is so important that Not In Our Town addresses not just the race problems on campus, but all the issues that the University and its students have. When a person picks up the card for Not In Our Town, there is a statement in there that lists several diversity issues, including race, gender, sexual identity, religion and class. This month’s In Focus section deals with Not In Our Town. Not only because it is an important tool that can really help the University, but also because we want to make sure they are doing their part of the promise in the fight for equality for these different diversity groups. Every student, faculty and staff member in the University is affected by every one of these diversities in one way or another. We need to stand strong and help one another, because each other is all we have. Equality for different people has come a long way to get where it is now but we are nowhere close to being done. Not In Our Town and the University are doing a great thing by protecting diversity groups and we want to do our part as well, seeing where work still needs to be done through the people facing these issues every day.

Women’s soccer searches for first win By Tara Jones Reporter
The BG women’s soccer team travels to Central Michigan on Thursday, in their final regularseason match. The Falcons have an overall record of 0-14-2 and a MidAmerican Conference record of 0-8-2 as they head to CMU. Thursday presents the last opportunity for BG to get their first win of the 2013 season. Central Michigan comes into the match with an overall record of 7-10-1 and a MAC record of 7-30. CMU ranks third in the MAC West Division while the Falcons sit at the bottom of the MAC East. The Chippewas have clinched a top-four berth with home field advantage for Sunday’s MAC tournament quarterfinal round. Central Michigan leads the series with the Falcons 10-5-2, including seven consecutive meetings. Last fall, the Chippewas got a 4-0 win at Cochrane Field. CMU returned 18 letter winners,
including four starters, from a 2012 team that finished 15-7-1 overall, went 9-2-0 in the MAC, and advanced on to the NCAA Championships. Senior Madeline Wideman said Central Michigan is a “very good team,” but her team has been improving with each day in practice. She said her teammates will go in to fight to get the best result. With the end of the season right around the corner, head coach Lindsay Basalyga said she is the most proud of her team’s mentality throughout the year. She said she is proud her team takes each game as a challenge to improve instead of giving up when they do not get the desired result. She added that she is especially proud of her seniors for sticking by the program for their entire careers. “They had a choice throughout their entire career to possibly transfer [or] to quit and they have stuck by this program,” Basalyga said. “I am really, really thankful for their commitment and dedi-
cation to leaving the program in a better place than they found it.” Freshman Paige Amodio said she knew coming in as a freshman that the seniors this year have gone through a lot of adversity. “I knew that the freshman had to come in and work hard because [the seniors] never gave up on this program, so we don’t want to give up on them,” Amodio said. Wideman said she thinks coach Basalyga is on the right track to restoring the program at BG. “I think she’s really going to turn the program around,” Wideman said. “She’s been doing a great job. She works us hard but she knows how to work us and she gets the best out of every single player.” Freshman Amodio added that she is excited to see where the program goes in the next few years. “I’m so excited because it’s crazy to see how much we’ve improved from the very beginning of preseason until now,” Amodio said. “I’m definitely excited for my next years here.”
The BG hockey team could not reproduce the same outcome in its second and final matchup with the Ohio State University Buckeyes Tuesday night, as it lost 5-3 in front of a thin crowd at Value City Arena in Columbus. “I think Ohio State got exactly what they deserved tonight and so did we,” head coach Chris Bergeron said. “I thought the first 10 minutes of the game was good. I was a little bit concerned with the first 10 minutes because I thought [Ohio State] was a little bit more game sharp because they’d just played this past weekend, and I think it looked the opposite.” BG started the game off on the right skate with a goal by center Dan DeSalvo two minutes and 39 seconds into the first period. DeSalvo’s second goal of the season was assisted by defenseman Rusty Hafner, his third assist of the season. T he Fa lcons kept t he Buckeyes off the board for the majority of the first period, but Ohio State tied the game up at one with a goal by left winger David Gust, who was assisted by right winger Nick Oddo and center Ryan Dzingel with 2:23 left on the clock. BG went into the locker room with a 14-10 shot lead on the Buckeyes, but the second period became a defensive battle for both teams.
For the first 10-and-a-half minutes, the scoreboard remained unchanged and not much had happened until defenseman Sean Walker was disqualified from the game for an illegal hit. Following the unsuccessful, five-minute power play, the Buckeyes took the lead with a goal by Dzingel, who was assisted by left winger Darik Angeli. The goal occurred just after the 17-minute mark in the second half and the Falcons went into the locker room after the second period trailing the Buckeyes, 2-1. BG was held to five shots in the second period in comparison to Ohio State’s 10 they recorded during the period. The third period was the complete opposite of the second. BG equalized the score with less than two minutes into the third period thanks to right winger Ben Murphy. He was assisted by Williamson. Ohio State came back and scored a goal 42 seconds later from the stick of Oddo by means of defenseman Craig Dalrymple and Gust. BG answered less than five minutes later with a power play goal by Murphy once again and was assisted by Williamson for the second time in the period. Murphy scored his fifth and sixth goal of the season during the third period, and Williamson recorded his fourth and fifth assist as well.

Falcons set to rematch Redhawks By Noah Jones Reporter
The University of Miami RedHawks will come to the Stroh Center to take on the Falcon volleyball team Thursday night at 7 p.m. This is a must win game for the Falcons to keep up with MidAmerican Conference leaders Ohio University. OU is 8-2 in the MAC and are in first place in the MAC east division. After falling to Toledo this past Saturday in a four set loss, the Falcons are 7-3 in the MAC and hold an 11-11 win-loss record for the season. Against Ball State last Friday, the Falcons handed the Cardinals their first home loss of the season in a four set victory. Head coach Danijela Tomic said the win came with a price. “The win was bittersweet because yes we won, but we lost our player and they had players out too,” she said. Erica Fullenkamp, the Falcon’s starting setter sprained her ankle in the first set against BSU. Tomic said the team does not know when
she will be cleared to play again, but the team is hoping she will be back in two weeks to play in the MAC tournament. Back up setter Laura Avila is expected to play in place of Fullenkamp against Miami. She set the past two games and had 88 assists this past weekend. Miami opened the season by winning eight of its first nine matches, but since MAC play began, the RedHawks have struggled. They are in fifth place in the East Division with a 2-8 record. Coach Tomic said Miami’s record does not mean this will be an easy win for the Falcons. “We haven’t been a consistent team, and I expect a tough match,” Tomic said. Libby Dachenhaus said the team spent time this week going back to fundamentals in practice after serving errors cost the Falcons the win against Toledo. “[Fundamentals] are how you beat a team like Miami,” she said. “They are

Call To Action created in response to racially charged incidents on campus, in community By Abby Welsh News Editor
While some people may tell themselves that racism is over, others beg to differ. “It happens with everyone, everyday,” said Mayra Lopez, Latino Student Union vice president. “I certainly don’t think it has become a black and white issue either; it can happen to [every ethnicity] and in terms of gender and sexuality as well.” The most recently reported racism attack at the University were tweets made by someone not affiliated with the University, but still affected students. The racially charged tweets were accusing the Black Student Union of being prejudice against white people. “It is ridiculous that we have had multiple incidents regarding racism at the University when [the University] prides and markets themselves for diversity,” said Kevin Lewis, BSU president. “We need change and until something happens, another incident like the tweets will happen again.” Not In Our Town is a nationa l campaign that was brought to the Universit y t his past spring to promote diversity and fight intolerance. The campaign began after several students
HISTORY From Page 3 While many racially charged incidents have occurred in the past year, a look at the history of Bowling Green reveals these attitudes aren’t new, Jones said. A collection in the University Center for Archival Collections documents an active chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Wood County from the 1920s through the 1940s, called the Ohio Knights of the KKK. “Here at Bowling Green, we are really dealing with a long troubling history of race relations,” Jones said, referencing the Ku Klux Klan presence. “[Recent incidents] indicated that those legacies are still among us.” The University planned to launch Not In Our Town this fall as a subcommittee

tweeted racially charged messages directed at the black community. Last year, an African American social group hosted an event at Ziggy Zoomba’s, now called Blo, where a University student began to tweet racist things about the group. “Not In Our Town has been great support for these kinds of issues, but support isn’t enough at this point,” Lewis said. “That is why Call To Action was created.” Call To Action was primarily made by the Back Student Union, but allows anyone who has been affected by any form of racism to participate. The group was formed originally to discuss the next step in response to racially charged tweets geared towards BSU, but now talks about ways of getting the administration to act on their support. “Both organizations are great and serve a great purpose, but seven incidents [in a year] draws the line,” Lewis said. Some of the incidents that happened in the last year involved graffiti, car vandalism, tweets and arson. “I don’t think there is
a huge issue with racism on our campus, but I do think people make comments more subtle [about it],” said Arpan Yagnik, India Student Association. “Racism is and has always been an issue, especially since everyone feels like they can express themselves.” Because t here a re many groups and organi zat ions to become involved in on campus dealing with race issues, Yagnik encourages students to become involved as much to learn about ethnicity and race issues. “So many people don’t know about all the opportunities to learn and become educated [about others], so becoming involved is a great way to do that,” Yagnik said. “Also just simply respecting others and their heritage.” Not In Our Town and Call To Action both have different goals for their group for the same cause in hopes these incidents will stop happening. “We needed to take action and push Not In Our Town,” said Michael Ginsburg, associate dean of students. Hopefully, the push for change will start sooner than later in the administration aspect, Lewis said. “This is something that we need to take serious,” he said. “We all just want this divide to stop.”
racist incidents that occurred in the past year: 1. Mosque burning in Perrysburg, Ohio in October of 2012 2. A swastika and “white power” was written on the sidewalk of the African American head coach of the University’s basketball team later in the same month. 3. A graduate student had his car vandalized with a smashed watermelon, broken windshield and a note saying something to the effect of “[Black people] don’t belong here” in October/ November. 4. An avowed white supremacist, Richard Schmidt, was arrested at the Woodland Mall in Bowling Green with 40,000 rounds of ammunition, full body armor, 14 assault weapons and a hit list of civil rights and Jewish leaders including the president of the Detroit chapter of the NAACP.

5. Several white University students sent racist tweets after a black social event on April 11, 2013. 6. This same week, “I Hate [Black people]” was chalked on the sidewalk of Pike Street between N. Prospect and N. Summit streets, immediately behind the City Hall. 7. Racially charged tweets were sent accusing the Black Student Union of prejudice against white people in late September.
of PACODI, but it was after the first string of racially charged tweets that Tiffany Smith, the former president of BSU and past member of Carr’s group, decided to “roll out” Not In Our Town early. “It was the perfect platform to begin it then,” said Smith, who graduated in May. “I personally didn’t believe stuff like that would happen in BG.” Not In Our Town has been a continuous response to these occurrences. Forums featured student speakers, including Smith and faculty speakers, including Jones and also University President Mary Ellen Mazey. Mayor Richard Edwards also voiced his support. “I was happy that I gained so much support from the Mayor and Mazey,” Smith said. For Jones, one of the best things about the campaign is the “mature, balanced
and intelligent” response from students across campus, he said. “This is probably the most sophisticated and mobilized student body that I’ve been involved with,” Jones said. “The connections between LSU [the Latino Student Union], BSU and other progressive groups on campus are very strong.” And while the administration’s response has also been positive, Jones said, it has been “extremely limited.” “They’ve made some nice pronouncements,” he said. “That said, I believe that an administration that took these strings of incidents seriously would offer a more aggressive response.” The response has included an email from Mazey affirming support for diversity, sanctions against those who tweeted in April and an integration of a Not
In Our Town education element into various programs at the University. But Peña said an administrative response is not sufficient. “If the goal is to transform the culture and make it inclusive ... that is never going to be accomplished solely by a top down message,” Peña said. “The other part is about students coming together, faculty coming together and community members coming together.” The challenge for the future, said Jones, is to develop and adapt the movement to meet the growing needs of the community, not just let it fizzle. “An affective, creative response can turn a negative to a positive,” Jones said. “It has the ability to demonstrate that our commitment to inclusion is more than empty words.”
unless its threatening.” Aside from show ing their support on their cars, the police also have a banner on their website home page that links to the NIOT website, Hetrick said. University members of the NIOT campaign are taking notice of the city’s
involvement. The support from the city has been “phenomenal” from the city police, administration and committee members, said graduate student Arpan Yagnik, who is involved with the campaign. Yagnik had discussed the future of the cam-
paign with city organizations such as the police. “I’m just overwhelmed and happy that we have so many conscious people around that want to make the community a better place regardless of their affiliations,” said. “I hope to keep the collaboration going.”

gives people a platform to speak about these things.” Graduate Coordinator for Diversity Education and LGBT programs, Chris Klein, said seeing the banners throughout campus from people who have signed them is a reminder that there are several thousand people who are supportive towards the LGBT community. “That’s kind of the beauty of it,” Klein said. “It’s not a formal one shot program where this is the only method for implementing it. You do have the whole city where different people are coming out of different knowledge basis and different ways of approaching it and who are supporting it.” Other LGBT members like how the campaign tries to incorporate actual members’ voices in how they feel about hatred. President of Vision, Luke Grabski, became involved with the NIOT campaign this past year
Assistant Director in the Office of Multicultural Affairs by hosting a presentation about standing up against discrimination. The campaign and presentation had a positive affect because the information was coming from people who have actually been through discrimination, giving the audience a completely different level and he has seen more straight allies attending Vision, he said. “It has really helped bridge gaps for people and created a language to have these conversations,” Grabski said. “You give people a chance to become educated about it.” Spears said the campaign has opened people up to speak about things, like homophobia, who may not have really known in depth what the term actually means. “It allows for deeper conversat ion a round some of the hateful things,” Spears said.

very fundamentally sound so we’ve been going back to what we were doing at the beginning of the year and really focused on what we have lost; slowing everything down a bit.” Miami’s offensive leaders this season are middle, Jenny Ingle, and outside hitter, Meg Riley. The two RedHawks have combined 452 kills and have attacking percentages of .367 and .247 respectively.
“Ingle is difficult to defend because of the angles of her shots and her unorthodox style of play,” Tomic said. Falcon middle Kaitlyn Skinner said because she is tall and hits the ball high, the team will look to get touches on her attack attempts rather than straight blocks. “We will have to take a tweak to our timing because she is not a very patterned player,” Skinner said. “She hits a lot of off speed shots and she hits different spots on the court.” The key to keeping Ingle

The Falcons played Miami on Sept. 26 and beat them in five sets after losing the first two sets. “Fortunately we are at home,” Dachenhaus said. “We are going to come out more confident and introduce ourselves as the team we want to be and hit the ground running when we get out there.”
