Fraternity appeals campus removal Group petitions for sameJeff Kegolis

The University chapter of Kappa Sigma is going through a process of appeal this month, as the chapter was pulled from campus in July. Part of the Inter-Fraternity Council at the University, the fraternity’s charter, or the document from headquarters stating the chapter is a member of the national organization, was withdrawn at a national

spring 2013 shows that the fraternity “accepted responsibility” for two violations of the code of conduct, one in January 2013 and one in May 2013. The 57 men who were in the chapter “still have the privilege of members, but they can not operate as a chapter at the University,” Wilson said. Wilson said he couldn’t further discuss the decision of nationals to

Many college students work as servers to pay way through school, rely on tips as part of wage By Kathryne Rubright Reporter
Tips on tipping:
When students go out to eat, they may not think about what a tip means to their server. But a tip isn’t extra—it’s an expected part of their pay. According to the Ohio Department of Commerce, tipped employees must be paid at least $3.93 per hour by the employer. Tips are supposed to bring the total pay up to minimum wage, which is $7.85. A standard tip is 15 percent of the total cost of the meal. Katie Hammonds, a server at Pizza Hut, said if she doesn’t make minimum wage with tips, Pizza Hut will pay her the difference. “With serving, if your tips don’t accumulate to minimum wage per hour, [Pizza Hut] will pay me up to $7.85,” Hammonds said. “Probably nine out of 10 times I do make minimum wage with tips.” Although she does usually make minimum wage after tips, Hammonds said, “High school and college students tip very low. Some will tip, some won’t tip at all. Generally one in nine will tip and they’ll tip about $3.” Groups of students usually tip better than parties of one or two, Hammonds said. But that’s not always the case. “There’s been times where I’ve had a group of five students and gotten a $6 tip,”

Legislation to overturn Ohio amendment ban could be on ballot in time for 2014 election By Eric Lagatta Campus Editor
Just the facts ■■ Who: Freedom to Marry Ohio is
Every day that Gwen Andrix sits outside of Grounds for Thought with a petition, she gains roughly 20 signatures in support of her cause. Andrix is part of Freedom to Marry Ohio, a group circulating a petition to legalize same-sex marriage in Ohio. “I feel strongly that it’s time for this to change,” Andrix said. “People are starting to evolve and realize this is a civil rights issue that needs to be corrected.” This means Ohio voters could be considering the issue of samesex marriage when they go to the polls in November 2014. The petition concerns an amendment to the Ohio Constitution; it would overturn and rewrite a 2004 Ohio amendment that banned same-sex marriage in the state. In 2004, 61.7 percent of voters passed a provision in the Ohio Constitution making it unconstitutional for the state to recognize or perform same-sex marriages or civil unions. It also barred state agencies from giving benefits to both same-sex and straight domestic partners. To get the initiative on the ballot, Freedom to Marry Ohio needs to collect approximately 386,000 valid signatures from all 88 counties in Ohio by July, said Andrix, who, along with her partner Amy Holland, is focusing her efforts in northwest Ohio, including Wood County. Wood County requires approximately 4,500 signatures, she said. The language of the potential amendment has two main provisions: that two consenting adults be allowed to marry and have it recognized by Ohio regardless of gender; and that religious institutions have the freedom to perform or refuse to perform a marriage. The language has been approved by the Ohio Attorney General, the Ohio Ballot Board and withstood a challenge in the Ohio Supreme Court. The principle of same-sex marriage has seen growing support in the state within the past year. After the Ohio Democratic
circulating the petition.
■■ What: The petition aims to put on
the ballot an amendment to overturn a ban on same-sex marriage in Ohio, rewriting it to allow consenting couples to marry regardless of gender. ■■ Where: Each of the 88 counties in Ohio requires a certain number of signatures to get it on the ballot. Total, 386,000 are needed, with 4,500 required from Wood County. ■■ When: Volunteers need to gain the signatures by July for voters to consider the issue in November 2014. ■■ Why: Fourteen states allow gay marriage, with six legalizing it in 2013. In Ohio, an August poll released by Public Policy Polling shows 48 percent of Ohioans support same-sex marriage. ■■ How: Volunteers are petitioning at local events and churches. Soon they will go door to door. Party announced support for same-sex marriage in December, the Wood County Democratic Party followed suit in January. “People’s attitudes are changing really rapidly on this issue,” said Mike Zickar, chair of the Wood County Democratic Party. “As people get to know more gay people, they realize there’s no reason to deny them this basic right.” The Wood County Republican Party has not taken a stance on the issue of same-sex marriage, said Matt Reger, the organization’s chair. “We usually don’t, in the party, take a stand on issues,” Reger said. “We’ve allowed our candidates and our members to make individual decisions on those issues as they see fit.” A reversal of the Ohio law would also grant same-sex couples federal benefits like Social Security, veterans’ benefits, health insurance and retirement savings. As of this past summer, The U.S. Supreme Court declared unconstitutional section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that restricted federal marriage benefits and recognition to opposite-sex couples. This ruling effectively leaves the issue of same-sex marriage to

World Student Association plans International Dinner for Sunday, tickets $15 By Dominic Binkley Reporter
The World Student Association will host its annual International Dinner this Sunday from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom. The event will include a buffet dinner of international food and seven ethnic dance and musical performances from University students. “Everybody’s really pumped about this dinner because all the performers are really good and really diverse,” said Cuilin Ge, USG representative for the World Student Association. The theme for this year’s dinner is global friendship. “Our theme this year is to show
friendship around the world and how it doesn’t matter where you’re from or who you are but more of how we can all get along and have a global friendship,” said Semhare Gebre, vice president of programs for the World Student Association. A photo slideshow of international University alumni will be played while dinner is being served so students can see their friends who have returned to their home countries, Ge said. There will also be a fashion show featuring ethnic clothing typically worn for weddings, holidays and special occasions, Gebre said. “The fashion show is our tradition to have our members and our students wear traditional clothes from around the world and basically to

showcase the clothes and the culture” said Kobe Huynh, president of the World Student Association. Attendants can also have their photos taken wearing some of the ethnic outfits, Ge said. “All the guests, if they’re willing to experience really cultural dress, can go there and pick a couple outfits they want to put on and then we can take pictures for them and put them on Facebook,” she said. A silent auction will also take place during the dinner and doors will open at 5:30 p.m. so people can view the auction tables, Ge said. “We have a lot of really, really good cultural items this year,” she said. Tickets are $15 and will be sold outside the Union Ballroom before the event starts.

Senior Drew Chu said he’ll tip “20 percent if it’s okay, 10 if it’s something I was unhappy with.” “I like to do 20 percent if I can. At the least I’ll do 15 [percent],” Hammonds said.

If no tip is left at all, it is possible that the guest had an issue with the server, but “it’s hard to make that assumption,” Hammonds said. It might be because that person never tips or because they didn’t like the food, and although it is unfair to base the tip on the whole experience, instead of only what the server is responsible for, that does happen, she said. “If [the server] was slow or grumpy they’d get significantly less. I’d still tip them, but they wouldn’t get as much,” Walter said.

Faculty push for long-term contracts Job insecurity, low pay could harm student, faculty relationships, says Faculty Association By Eric Lagatta Campus Editor
The BGSU Facult y A ssociat ion hosted an event in the Union Thursday to draw attention to the different types of faculty at the University and the issues they face. The event fit into the Halloween season, as students could bob for apples to learn about the different faculty. BGSUFA members dressed as Rosie the Riveter also handed out treats. The event was part of Campus Equity Week, a n a t i on a l l y-r e c o g n i z e d event to call attention to the working conditions and concerns of facult y members not on the track for tenure.

tracts with a reasonable expectation of promotion, said David Jackson, faculty association president and an associate professor in the Department of Political Science. Today, 75 percent of higher-education faculty are working on short-term contracts. Approximately 33 percent of the University’s full-time facult y are not tenure-track. The Universit y also hires part-time adjunct faculty who have no access to benefits available to fulltime faculty. “We’re really worried about the job instability of non-tenure-track faculty and the way that affects students’ success at BGSU,” said Jamie Stuart, the non-tenuretrack faculty representative for the faculty association and an instructor in the Department of Ethnic Studies. This could mean larger classes with fewer faculty and a decrease in retention as students can’t find mentors and professional report as “shared responsibility for infractions,” and the second was for “offenses against persons [acts threatening health/safety].” According to the code of conduct, the second violation was for “Disrupting order or disregarding health and safety [alcohol use and distribution]” and “Offenses against the University Community [failure to comply].” When asked to comment, former Kappa Sigma President Trevor Bischoff declined, and said he wouldn’t be able to speak on the matter until after the appeal process with the fraternity’s headquarters. After the chapter accepted responsibility, the University, fraternity headquarters and the chapter discussed sanctions.
“We’re really worried about the job instability of non-tenure-track faculty and the way that affects students’ success at BGSU.” Jamie Stuart | Instructor references, Jackson said. Faculty with secure positions have more ability to foster relationships with students. “They have more time to spend with students because they’re able to commit themselves to an institution for the long term,” Jackson said. Faculty with job stability are also allowed academic freedom to research and say what they want, he said. The purpose was also to educate students on the different types of faculty members there are, Jackson said. “The first set of sanctions occurred upon conclusion of the January violation,” Kegolis said. The second set of sanctions were issued near the end of the school year, and the chapter was expected to complete them into the fall semester, he said. “No one likes to have a fraternity kicked off campus,” said IFC President Dan Phillips. “Fraternity and Sorority Life is going to do what they can to help.” Kappa Sigma has been at the University since Aug. 15, 1947. The national organization includes chapters on 312 college and university campuses and around 18,000 undergraduate members. Wilson said the chapter had 30 days to appeal the
“There seems to be an assumption that all faculty are in the same position,” he said. In fact, the faculty includes adjunct, parttime, non-tenured, and graduate teaching faculty. The administration reduced faculty by more than 70 this year, and the BGSU-FA contends there is reason to believe more are on the way. The University budget saw a $2.5 million shortfall this year. A further $6-7 million shortfall is projected for next year due to a decrease in funding from the State Share of Instruction, the formula used to distribute the bulk of state money provided to Ohio’s public universities.

The members did appeal it and are now going through the judicial process. “[They] basically submit an appeal to us outlining why they feel like this should be reconsidered by our board of directors,” Wilson said. Then the chapter will give an in person presentation Nov. 23 at the headquarters in Charlottesville, Va., Wilson said. “At that time, the decision will be final,” Wilson said. “They could know the outcome of the situation right away.” Editor’s Note: Look for further coverage of the appeal process in future editions of The BG News.

Music, sound create feelings
People find meaning, memories through media By Geoff Burns Pulse Editor
While many people may listen to music out of pure interest and entertainment, they might be unaware of a deeper feeling within the rhythms and melodies. Affect Theory deals with people organizing the affects of something like a scene in a film or an album by a musical artist and making a connection to it with a response such as smiling or getting the chills after listening to a certain part of a song they had an appeal to. Associate Professor in the department of Popular Culture Jeremy Wallach said music in its entirety was actually something not well understood, and served only a small purpose as entertainment for people. He said it wasn’t until neurologists started doing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), which measures brain activity by detecting associated changes in blood f low, that they began realizing how much of an effect music plays on a person, as the imaging shows “all areas of the brain lighting up like a Christmas tree.” “The entire brain gets stimulated when a person is exposed to music,” Wallach said. “The memory center, sexual urges, instinctual desires, higher cognitive functions, emotions, everything lights up when we hear music. There seems to be something about human nature that is musical.” Since music has the ability to enhance a person’s feelings and emotions, many of today’s media such as films and television stories have songs specifically designed for certain scenes. Other places such as restaurants, funeral homes and grocery stores play certain types of songs to set an atmospheric tone. People listen to certain types of music for a reason, said Robert Sloane, instructor in the department of American Culture Studies. He said many times people will listen to jazz or classical music while studying and aggressive rock or heavy metal while working out. It can also become a culturally depicted reasoning as to the way people from different cultures interpret and feel music. “We learn to associate certain types of music with certain times in our lives,” Sloane said. “Culturally we teach people how to react in a specific way and we associate aggressive rock with men and folk and gentle things with feminine. We make these associations because of cultural values that are taught to us not because they are necessarily ‘correct’ or ‘rigid.’” Music consumes us a nd a f fects our day-today rout ines, sa id Rad hi ka Gajja la, a profes-

There’s an odd sort of catchy quality that the lo-fi scene has relied upon since forming in the early 2000s. It makes sense. With such basic production, and usually so few instruments, and only a basic ability to play their instru-
ments, lo-fi bands often need to be relentlessly catchy if they have any hope at attracting and maintaining an audience. There are those bands that deliberately choose lo-fi recording to achieve a certain aesthetic, and who happen to be catchy anyway. This is the case with Radioactivity, the newest proj-

Capital punishment unfair, leads to racism, sexism paul mckenzie Columnist
On Nov. 14, Ohio is set to execute Ronald Phillips, a convicted child rapist and murderer. Since 1999, when Ohio resumed executing prisoners, our state has had one of the most active death chambers in the U.S. While it is highly doubtful that many will shed a tear when this man is put to death, the questions remain: What does his execution really accomplish? Is the death penalty fairly administered? Is it cost effective? And should a country that purports to be the greatest on earth be in the execution business? This column is an anticapital punishment column. That being stated, I have had a macabre` fascination with the death penalty for most of my life. I have even wanted to witness an execution in my life even though I am against the practice. I find the ritual disgusting, sub-human and fruitless but the attraction of the process still pulls me in. Despite all this, I firmly believe that the U.S. should outlaw this practice. The death penalty is inherently racist. A black man is exponentially more likely to end up on death row than a white man, especially if his victim or victims were white. This is not opinion either. Unfortunately, the south is the leader in this ugly, racist way of sentencing murderers, but the pattern is followed in all death penalty states. To ignore this blatant racism is to discount fact. We like to pretend that America is a post-racial country but the death penalty shows us that is indeed a myth. Capital punishment is also extremely sexist. A female murderer rarely ends up on death row. Juries that have no moral qualms about sending a man to his doom suddenly get squeamish when it is time to sentence a woman in a capital murder case. Is this fair? The answer is an unequivocal no. A wealthy person ending up on the gurney is truly a rare occurrence. Money equals better representa-

tion in this nation and better representation almost always guarantees the lack of a death sentence. Governor Mike DiSalle, who sent inmates to their death during his term as Ohio’s chief executive, said that all death row inmates had one thing in common: they were penniless. DiSalle served our state from 1959 to 1963, but his point still is beyond valid; rich people, regardless of race or sex do not end up on death row. I like to make a sick joke every time our state puts a prisoner to death. I turn to whomever I am with and state, “I sure feel safer now!” It is sarcastic of course. The truth is the death penalty is not a deterrent and does not prevent murder. Yes, proponents will state that the person executed will never murder again and that is certainly true. No studies worth the paper they were printed on though show that capital punishment is a real deterrent of homicide. If a person is willing to murder, they really have no concern about what may or may not happen to them in the future. We also would be very foolhardy to believe that innocent people have not been executed in our country. The sheer number of people released from death row across our nation after being exonerated for varieties of reasons is staggering. If one were to look at the work that the Innocence Project has done in freeing innocent people from death rows across America, then one would not be able to justify a pro-death penalty stance. Lastly, it is much more expensive to execute a person than to lock them up for life. Law yer fees far outstrip food, clothing and shelter of an inmate. The cost argument in favor of execution does not exist, no matter how much it is cited. I ask in conclusion, that when faced with the facts, should our country be engaged in such an unfair practice? I say emphatically not. Our thirst for vengeance does not outweigh common sense. Think of that on Nov. 14 when another Ohioan gets the needle. Respond to Paul at thenews@bgnews.com

Equity Week necessary, exposes ‘poverty-level wages’ JULIE HAUGHT FACULTY COLUMNIST
Pop Quiz: Your teacher tells you that she has been teaching at the University for 15 years and that she has won teaching awards and recently published an article in a prestigious journal in her field. Your teacher (a) is a tenured professor, (b) is a fulltime lecturer, (c) is a parttime instructor, (d) could be either “a,” “b,” or “c.” Ah, wise student, you answered correctly. The answer is “d.” Some of your teachers are tenured (and tenure-track) and others are non-tenuretrack and still others may be graduate assistants. Working conditions vary considerably depending on whether a teacher is tenured/tenure-track labor or contingent labor (which includes non-tenure-track faculty, both full- and parttime, as well as graduate assistants). Campus Equity Week (Oct. 28-Nov. 2) focuses on the working conditions for non-tenure-track faculty. This biennial event was started by The Coalition
of Contingent Academic Labor which, according to its website, is “a grassroots coalition of activists in North America working for contingent faculty: adjunct, part-time, non-tenured and graduate teaching faculty.” If you or your friends went “bobbing for benefits” at the Union, then you know that many part-time faculty find themselves tricked rather than treated by their employers. Such activism as “Bobbing for Benefits” and other Campus Equity Week events are necessary because not only are contingent faculty now the majority of faculty teaching classes at American universities, but oftentimes parttime faculty and graduate assistants are earning poverty-level wages. In tracking trends in faculty employment status, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) compiled data from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics and IPEDS Fall Staff Surveys to discover that between 1975 and 2011, contingent faculty increased from 43.2 percent in 1975 to 70.2 percent of total faculty in 2011. If
graduate student employees are considered among the instructional staff, contingent employees rose from 54.9 percent in 1975 to 75.9 percent in 2011. Those who are paid these poverty-level wages are not mere statistics, though sometimes it may seem that way when decision-makers talk about delivering a cost-effective, quality education. In “The Sad Death of An Adjunct Professor Sparks a Labor Debate,” NPR’s Claudio Sanchez interviewed Maria Maisto, President of New Faculty Majority, who rightly noted, “If education is really at the heart of what we do, then there’s absolutely no excuse for not putting the bulk of the resources into what happens in the classroom.” Unfortunately, adequate compensation for teachers is not necessarily where the resources are targeted. Maisto shared the following anecdote with Sanchez: “In fact, here in Ohio, I have colleagues who have recently had to sell their plasma in order to buy groceries.” Few students would imagine that some of their professors face such dire choices. And it doesn’t have to be that way. Several years ago, the University took an impor-
tant stand for workplace equity by converting a number of part-time teaching positions into full-time nontenure-track positions. The difference between parttime and full-time is the difference between povertylevel wages with no benefits for part-time faculty and living wages with health benefits for full-time faculty. Unfortunately, current University administrators and decision-makers seem to be backpedaling from that commitment to full-time teaching positions. Last year, 72 full-time faculty left the University, some by choice, but most because their contracts were not renewed. Those 72 full-time faculty were not replaced. And, as reported in department and program meetings across campus this fall, more fulltime non-tenure-track faculty will lose their jobs at the end of this academic year. The loss of those fulltime faculty positions will impact your college experience. Even though some decision-makers may not recognize it, the working conditions for faculty impact the learning conditions for students.

Monday night, author Marion Blumenthal Lazan spoke to a packed room of students, faculty and residents about the horrors she was subjected to as a child during the Holocaust. Lazan spent almost her entire childhood, from ages four to 10, under Nazi oppression with her parents and brother. When her family’s escape from Germany to the U.S. was foiled due to the Nazis’ invasion of Holland, the country in which they were staying at the time, she spent more than half a decade in horrific, miserable situations. First she lived in Westerbork, a deportation camp and then BergenBelson, the same concentration camp in which buddingwriter Anne Frank died. Miraculously, Lazan, her parents and her brother all survived Bergen-Belson.

ECHARD, PHOTO EDITOR AMBER PETKOSEK, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR
But sadly, her father passed away just weeks after their liberation. While she said it is understandable that her older brother Albert won’t speak of the Holocaust, Lazan is determined to share her story in order to educate those who didn’t witness the horrors of the Holocaust first hand. The majority of Holocaust survivors are no longer with us. Those who are still alive were children who are now in their 70s and 80s. It is clear, Lazan said during her lecture, that this generation will be the last to hear first-hand accounts of the Holocaust. Many of us have learned about the Holocaust in grade school. We know that six million Jews were murdered, along with five million gay people, Romani people, physically and mentally disabled people, political prisoners and other groups who the Nazis deemed unworthy of life. We learned that one
million of these victims were children. And yet, we feel a great amount of distance from the Holocaust that keeps us from grasping the reality of what happened. This troubles Lazan, and prompted her to help create a documentary called Marion’s Triumph. According to Sharon Schatz Rosenthal’s article “Survivor Film Aims to Educate Students” in the Jewish Journal, Marion’s Triumph director John Chua “became inspired to create a Holocaust-related documentary in 1994, when students at Castlemont High School in Oakland were reportedly laughing and heckling during a screening of ‘Schindler’s List.’” Chua knew students would be able to understand the true terror of the Holocaust if they could watch actual footage and hear testimony straight from the mouth of someone who survived. This kind of action is very important in order defy
Holocaust deniers and keep the rest of the world knowledgeable, so this atrocity can never be repeated. Lazan urged those who attended her lecture to share her story with those who couldn’t attend, so that’s what I’m doing. Go to her website, fourperfectpebbles.com and read about her life. Visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s website (and the actual museum, if you can) to learn how you can challenge anti-Semitism and genocide. Look at the photographs and footage that captured the horrors of the Holocaust. Use the internet to read and listen to the accounts of Holocaust survivors. We can’t allow a distance to grow between us and reality, no matter how long ago something happened, because if we don’t learn from our past, we will be doomed to repeat it.

AFFECT From Page 3
FILMS From Page 3 Casting isn’t the only thing fans can get upset about when their favorite books are made into films. “If fans of the book feel it’s miscast, or it’s making fun of the book, there can be a more negative reaction than positive,” Brown said. Despite the potential for criticism, production companies decide to adapt books into films everyday as they often come with a “brand that exists that already has a built-in audience,” said Lucas Ostrowski, assistant professor in the Department of Theatre and Film. For a film based on a book to be successful, it needs to relate to what the audience expects and be “unique enough that the

Question: What was the reason for the change of careers, from economics to film?
Answer: Well I had a good job; I was managing a building company in Connecticut, and it was okay. And I always had dreams, ever yone has dreams of being a director, a cinematographer, an actor; you know, it’s the Holly wood glam. I knew I wanted to be a film-maker but I think,
audience wants to see it,” Ostrowski said. This can be more difficult for some books than for others. “I think some books are really hard to translate because there’s too much internal dialogue and not enough acting,” Brown said. “The plot has to be made clear without the narrator or the main character explaining everything along the way.” Senior Brittany Knisely read “The Help” and was disappointed by the movie. “I think the movie may not have done the book justice,” Knisely said. A fter people read a book, they may picture it a certain way and then be let down by the movie and the way the producer or creator saw the author’s words. “I think everybody has in their mind an idea of what the main character
looks like and their personality,” Brown said. “Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.” Casting can also be a deal breaker for fans. Knisely is doing research on the popular erotica novel “Fifty Shades of Grey.” She said the casting for the possible film adaptation seems to be very important to fans. Fans are making their own trailers and voicing their opinions about possible casting choices online, she said. Knisely said the books that are usually picked to be films are ones that are “so well-illustrated that it’s easy to just take a book and put it into a script.” One reason the “Harry Potter” films were so successful may have been due to J.K. Rowling’s detail in the books and because it was a “new world people didn’t understand,”
Knisely said. If the versions do differ, Knisely said it may be because “the film producer and the author of the novel are both artists in their own respect.” As far as authors being involved in the movie, Brown said it can be hard for them to give up parts of the story. “It’s a different medium, a different skill set,” Brown said. Ostrowski said for viewers who have read the books, the movies are based on the need to remember a few things when going to see it. “[Remember], this is just a perspective, this is not the novel,” Ostrowski said. “They’re all versions of the work and it’s up to the viewer to decide. The book is its own world in it’s own context. The movie is its own world in its own context.”
growing up in Cleveland, it felt too far fetched. It didn’t feel like it was enough of a reality... It wasn’t a long shot if you worked hard and were willing to make a few years to sacrifice where you could get it done. I felt like I would have an unsatisfied life, or an unsatisfied life when I would go work for other people. I just wanted to be creating, and doing things that were more self-serving.
other people on your resume then it’s harder to get those jobs. Africa definitely helped me get a lot more work. And the one thing I would always say to young people is that if you’re getting into it “Fake it until you make it.” You’re always going to do the low budget work to begin with but you never talk about it like it’s low budget. It was this project, it was great, I got to do this brand; and Africa is a brand when you’re a film-maker.
work. If you’re not going to do two or three years of free work and show people what you can do, it’s not going to happen. My first film project out of school was a 7 million hit on YouTube and I thought that was going to be it, and it wasn’t. You need to work your way up. And it is all about networking. That’s what I didn’t expect. I thought talent could drive you, but it is 100 percent about who you know, going out and being social after work, and making connections. The bigger your network is, the more successful you are going to be sooner. Hands down, no doubt about it. I wish I could go back and tell myself that when I started film school.
Q: So since you’ve become a part of the industry, is film making still self-fulfilling? A: It’s always self-fulfilling. Anytime I take a job that’s not something that I’m proud to throw on Facebook and have my friends look at, then it’s kind of like a step back. It’s a tough business in film and if you don’t have something that one up’s
Q: Is there anything you would tell someone just getting into film? Some final advice, or what you would have done differently?

REVIEW From Page 3 debut album, “s/t.” That isn’t to say the album is unoriginal. Throughout it, Burke sings over the same fastpaced guitars he did when he was in the The MM. It’s filled to the brim with hooks that are sure to stay in your head like its predecessor, and Burke is singing about the same stuff. But this time there’s that odd, distant quality to the production that comes with lo-fi recording. You get the sense that this album should have come out decades before it has; it feels important. Lyrically, the album runs through typical songwriter flair, but with Burke’s signature delivery. Really, the lyrics here seem to be more placeholders meant for the sole purpose of balance, rather than anything particularly important. That isn’t to say there aren’t lyrics here and there that stand out. “I can’t stand here one more minute on my own/ but I need this time to find my way back home,” sings Burke

music that affects us in a particular way and we have a particular response to it from whatever we’re doing at the time,” Gajjala said. “Why do you think we buy cars that specifically have a radio or walk down the street listening to an iPod? Music is all around us and shapes the way we go on with our day.”
RADIOACTIVITY
on “Get Straight,” and the existential meltdown on “When I’m Gone” is pretty fun to listen to, but overall words come across as simply another instrument. The music is where the album really shines, which is strange for a punk album. I will be the first to admit that most of the songs on “s/t” sound the same, but in an aesthetic sense rather than structurally. The songs are fast, with the longest track on the album clocking in at 3:17. This brev it y, interest ingly, really doesn’t take away from repeat listens. The songs are so fast and so nuanced, you’ll likely notice something new with each listen. Most of the songs consist of Burke and Ryan hammering on guitars, but there’s more going on underneath than one might initially hear. Few albums have lead guitar lines that are this simple and yet work so well with the rest of the ensemble. Above all, Radioactivity is punk rock, take it or leave it. Catchy, fast, and fun. If that seems up your ally, you can’t go wrong with this record.

Men’s basketball hosts Malone in exhibition game By Cameron Teague Robinson Assistant Sports Editor
Coming off their closed exhibition game at Owens College against Eastern Kentucky University, the men’s basketball team will look to end the preseason on a good note Saturday. The Falcons will be playing Malone University for their last tune up before their regular season kicks off. “The chemistry [at Owens College] was great. We got the chance to see how the substitutes meshed well together,” sophomore Spencer Parker said. “I think we are looking good going into the future.” This year the Falcons will be playing with a more balanced attack instead of focusing on just one or two primary scorers. Players like Parker, JD Tisdale and Josh Gomez will be looked upon to produce coming off the bench this year. “We will get contributions much deeper and bigger from just our starting five,” head coach Louis Orr said. “Parker can score and is very good at attacking the basket and he can play multiple positions.” There is depth through every position this year for the Falcons, but inside is where they are more versatile. There are starters like Cameron Black, Richuan Holmes and role players Gomez and Garret Mayleben. Gomez is a transfer athlete from Iona College where he recorded 10 points, nine rebounds and three blocks in 48 minutes played. With the addition of Gomez

and Mayleben that gives the Falcons four players taller than 6’9”. “We have four guys 6’9” or better,” Orr said. “It is a benefit when you utilize size. Playing big is not always an asset unless your size can be that asset.” Their size inside will come into play even more this year because of the emphasis handchecking and officials calling the game tighter on perimeter. The depth with inside will help them when players get into foul trouble early, Orr said. The coaches have been working with the perimeters players on playing defense without their hands in practice this year. “The rule effects us a lot,” guard Anthony Henderson said. “Our whole life we have been able to handcheck, but coach has been doing well adjusting us to it in practice.” The Falcons will be without senior Craig Sealey for yet another game and as of now there is no timetable set for his return. According to Orr, Sealey will be back in the lineup when he is ready. “It’s not just being healthy it’s getting in shape and being able to work on your game,” he said. The Falcons will look to improve and keep getting better Saturday against Malone. “We have a talented team,” Orr said. “I expect us to continue to grow, we have to continue to get better defensively. We are a work in progress so, we don’t have to play like MAC champs for me to be happy.”

The BG women’s basketball team will tip-off its season this Saturday, Nov. 2 in an exhibition match, hosting Tiffin University. The Falcons begin their season with what head coach Jennifer Roos calls a “very difficult non-conference schedule.” They begin their regular season Nov. 8 at the Iona Tipoff Tournament in New Rochelle, N.Y., against the University of Michigan. On Nov. 9 the Falcons will face either Iona College or the University of Arizona as part of the tournament. Roos said they scheduled difficult non-conference opponents to prepare for a tough Mid-American Conference this year. “In my opinion, of all the years that I’ve been in this conference, the conference from top to bottom is by far this year the toughest,” Roos said. “Having six teams go to postseason play last year and have over 20 wins each, I think you can [expect to] see the same, if not more.” In order to prepare for their tough season, Roos said her team will need to have “rigorous” practices that are as “game-like as possible” in order to be prepared. Teams were able to begin practicing at the beginning of summer this season, so Roos said that the additional preparation time has put her team ahead of where they normally are at this time.

rule and a tighter hand-check rule are just two of the rule changes being implemented into women’s basketball this season. Roos said these rule changes will create a “brand new ball game” that encourages more freedom of movement to increase overall scoring. She added that with these rules, players could find themselves in foul trouble much earlier. As a result, Roos said her team may be forced to turn to zone defense much earlier than they traditionally do. The Falcons have a roster of 12 players for the 2013-14 season. They are currently down to 10 players with the Leah Bolton and Kennedy Kirkpatrick injuries. Roos said each of those remaining 10 players have seen significant minutes in the two scrimmages the Falcons have had so far. She added that she expects her bench to have an expanded role this season with the rule changes. “In my opinion, with all of the new rule changes that are occurring in women’s basketball, being a deep team is going to be more necessary than any other years,” Roos said. “I like where we are right now. [I am] cautiously optimistic with how well we’re getting contributions from our starters and our bench so far.” The Falcons exhibition match Saturday against Tiffin is part of a double-header with the men’s basketball team at the Stroh Center. The men’s game against Malone will begin at 2 p.m. The women’s game will follow and is set to tipoff at 4:30 p.m.

Volleyball team wins in 5 sets against Miami University on Halloween night Falcons win Thursday night conference game against RedHawks By Noah Jones Reporter
The volleyball team volleyed back and forth throughout the night, and won the game in five sets against Miami University, getting career high numbers from multiple players. Tied at two sets each, BG took a quick lead. After a timeout the Miami
RedHawks came back to draw even at 14. Miami committed an error to aid the Falcons to their 10th five-set victory under coach Danijela Tomic. “This was a great win,” Tomic said. “Miami is a tough team, they match up well with us. We won the first two and then they won the next two, and thank god we fished like
we were able to.” Tomic said this game showed resilience and she was proud of how her team responded when momentum shifted to the RedHawks. “All the momentum was going to Miami after set two and they made it come back to us in the fifth,” she said.

Falcons lose road game against Central Michigan, fail to reach conference tournament By Tara Jones Reporter
The BG women’s soccer team fell to Central Michigan Thursday, Oct. 31. The Falcons ended their season with an overall record of 0-15-2 and a MAC record of 0-9-2. They failed to qualify for the Mid-American Conference post-season tournament. C MU defeated the Falcons 2-0 in Mount Pleasant, Mich. The Chippewas scored one goal in each half, posting the shutout on the Falcons. Both teams recorded 18 total shots on the match, and BG led 4-2 in corner kicks. CMU had a narrow margin in total saves, finishing with eight while the Falcons tallied six. Head coach Lindsay Basalyga said she was proud that her team remained competitive through the entire match and got some “dangerous” opportunities to score. She added that CMU was able to capitalize
early on the Falcons’ “flat” first half. On the season, seven of BG’s losses have been by a single goal. The Falcons went 0-6-2 at home on the season. Three of those home losses were by one goal. Four of the eight overall games at Cochrane Field went into overtime. S en ior Madel i ne Wideman leads the team in several individual categories. She scored three goals this season for the Falcons, which puts her in a team-high tie with fellow senior Kaitlyn Tobin. Wideman’s goals came at Evansville, Kent State and Akron this season. She also leads the team with three assists on the year. Wideman was involved in six of the Falcon’s nine total goals scored this fall, including five straight goals during one stretch. Tobin’s three goals this season came against Michigan State, Ohio and
Miami. Junior Ashley Garr, freshman Taylor Bucaro and freshman Haley Malaczewski each have one goal on the season for the Falcons. Behind Wideman, junior Sidney Huth tallied two assists on the season. Seniors Alyssa Carmack and Ivi Casagrande recorded one assist each as well. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Lauren Cadel leads the MAC in both saves and saves per game. In her first season of play for the Falcons, Cadel already ranks fifth on the BGSU career saves list with 109 saves. Those saves also moved her into a tie for seventh place on the BG single-season saves list. As a team, the Falcons rank first in the MAC in saves and in saves per game. Freshman Paige Amodio, Carmack and Wideman each have a team-high 16 matches started for the Falcons. Carmack has
played all 1489-plus minutes this season. C oach Basalyga said their goal this season was, “Break the Cycle— Change the Culture.” She added that their goal was not measured in results, and that she and her players did see the change throughout the season. “This season has been much more than results,” Basalyga said. “We had to change training habits, learn how to compete consistently, build team chemistry, and we also changed our overall style of play. That’s a huge undertaking, but the players bought in, and it’s largely due to our senior class. They set the bar high individually, and they led— not only on the field but off— and held their teammates accountable along the way.” Basalyga said it is now up to the remaining players to continue to “uphold [the] new standards” of the program into next season.

The game against Hartwick marked the fourth time BG ended a game in a tie in double overtime at the Cochrane Field. The Falcons overall record is 5-6-5 and in the Mid-American Conference their record is 2-1-1; this puts BG at the third spot in the MAC division and their next opponent Western Michigan is at the second spot. “Every MAC game is important. We only get to play six games so every game really matters, and this would put us in second place if we win and that’s where we really want to be,” forward Ryan Comiskey said.

Heading into the game on Saturday, the team knows it will be playing a defensive team and hopes to get the win to take the second spot in the conference.
“It’s going to be a full performance that starts with defending,” Nichols said. “Western is a dangerous team they like to defend so even when we have possession we have to watch them because they are dangerous, so it starts with defending then we have to take our chances meaning we have to score our goals.” Even though Western Michigan is known for their defensive skills BG is not going to change up its style of soccer. “We have our BG way of playing soccer and we stick to it because we know it works, it really doesn’t matter who the opponent is exactly we are going to force our play on them.” Comiskey said.

the ball rather than blocks to “run down the ball.” Jenny Ingle, the RedHawks kill leader, was held to 16 kills (four per set). “Our coaches always tell us to hold our hands up as long as we can, and we will get the touches,” Sunjic said.”When we do that, we get blocks, we get touches, we can do whatever we want.” Laura Avila played in place of Erica Fullenkamp. She had 56 assists on the night and 11 digs. “She has done really great this weekend,” Sunjic said. “She stepped up tonight and took the job and did really great at [setting tonight].” Alyssa Maloney had a career-high of nine blocks tonight and had five kills. “This is another fresh-
man who stepped up for us tonight,” Tomic said. “Alyssa is getting better and better; we have no issue of Alyssa working hard and tonight was a bit of a break through for her.” With tonight’s win, the Falcons have tied Ohio University for first place in the Mid-American Conference East, but Tomic said she is not getting excited yet. “We still have few matches to play,” Tomic said. “Ohio is still ahead of us. We will see what will happen after this weekend. We are still in the run for first place. There have been a ton of upsets, not just in our conference, but across the nation. We are taking this one match at a time.”
