Police combat drug activity Proposed master’s program to better use business data with traffic stops, busts By Yalona Blair Reporter
Bowling Green’s proximity to I-75 makes it vulnerable to drug trafficking By Christopher Brown Reporter
Alcohol-related crimes aren’t the only thing a college town police officer has to worry about, but also the trafficking and use of illegal drugs. Last year, city police confiscated 1,823 grams of marijuana, 37.4 grams of cocaine, 2.4 grams of heroin, 48 doses
of ecstasy, 320 doses of LSD, 192 prescription drugs pills and $10,478 in associated currency, according to the 2011 Annual Mayor’s Report. Police acquired the drugs throughout the year through a variety of means. They collected most through routine traffic stops, with another large portion coming
from drug busts and arrests made through search warrants, said Lt. Brad Biller, public information officer for the police division. Traffic stops and routine arrests account for a large number of small amounts, whereas

A new master’s degree specializing in analytics is in the proposal process at the University. Analytics is a program aiming to help students learn how to examine large sets of data and how to apply that to a business application, said Michael Ogawa, vice president for Research and Economic Development and interim dean of the Graduate College. “The new Master of Science in Analytics [MSA] program is an interdisciplinary, professionally oriented master of science program,” said Bai-Yau Yeh, University professor in Applied Statistics and Operations Research. The analytics profession is expanding rapidly and will need more people with deep analytic skills, Yeh said.

It was the first round of playoffs in the wiffle ball league.
CAMPUS BRIEF
Faculty Senate discusses recruitment, retention
University officials hope to increase overall enrollment to 25,000 students by 2020 — a lofty, but attainable goal, according to a presentation offered to Faculty Senate members Tuesday. Administrators presented updated strategies to improve student recruitment and retention at Tuesday’s Faculty Senate meeting. Rodney Rogers, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, Alberto Colom, vice president for enrollment management, and Sue Houston, vice provost for undergraduate education, answered questions and took suggestions from concerned faculty members. The recruitment and retention plan aims to reach out to undergraduate, non-traditional, graduate and international students, with specialized strategies appealing to each group’s individual needs to ensure their success. “Our goal size is 25,000 students to support the infrastructure we have,” Rogers said. “This will get us to a place where we have the resources to make the investments we need to make to ensure we can continue to provide high quality education.” The senate did not hear or vote on any proposals Tuesday.

The program will benefit the University because it is a part of one of the strategic initiatives the University is undertaking focusing on big data analytics, Yeh said. “Most of the similar programs in the country were established only in the last five years,” Yeh said. “It is therefore important for the University to establish the MSA program sooner rather than later.” The program is also said to

See if they can give you any tips for studying, specifically ones that might apply to your class’s area of study. If a class offers a study guide for the exam, visiting with the teacher during office hours may also give you the chance to ask questions or get help with the study guide. It can’t hurt. Look up your teacher’s email, office and phone number via the University’s directory, so you can know how and where to find him or her during the remainder of the week.
Residents pick up slack downtown during winter break City bars offer discounts, specials to ‘townies’ when students return home for the holidays to retain attendance By Bridjet Mendyuk Reporter
Bar attendance downtown during wintertime doesn’t slow down much despite colder weather and a significant loss of University students during winter break. While some students disperse during break, many Bowling Green natives return to the area, said 149 North manager Derek Earl. “It definitely drops off during the weekend but the townies make up for it,” Earl said. Sophomore Greg Wolters said he doesn’t think as many people go out during the winter as during spring or fall because of bad weather, including cold, snow and rain. “I’ll go if my friends are going,” Wolters said.

But people will still make an effort to go out to the bars during the winter, Earl said, whether it’s friends dropping friends off or groups walking a quarter mile or more. He said 149 North doesn’t offer any different specials during break than fall semester, but to make up for lower attendance, the management cuts their employees’ hours as compensation. “The specials we have are already good enough,” Earl said. Brathaus gets into the holiday cheer by sporting a big inflatable Santa Claus on its roof as well as light up wreaths and reindeer outside.

Atwater said. “People come out more when it’s nicer but they come in earlier and people stay longer when it’s bad outside.” Since Brathaus is not a nightclub, it doesn’t see as much of a difference in customer attendance as Sky Bar or Cla-Zel would since they’re 18-andolder clubs and Brathaus is 21 and older, Atwater said. Maryann Mason, a Beckett’s bartender, said the bar provides different specials every night of the week. The bar also experiences a considerable loss of customers on some winter days. “As long as it’s not raining,” Mason said. “If it rains it’s slower.” To bring in more customers the bar offers happy hour on Friday and chili hotdogs, as

When Ron Marcus started working at his brother’s business years ago, it was a local firm. Just this summer, RemTec, a Bowling Greenbased company, was acquired by Englandbased firm A-Gas, turning RemTec into RemTec I nter nat iona l, sa id Marcus, business development manager. The transition from working with just local employees to also working with international employees hasn’t been easy, he said. “It can be difficult because of dif ferent time zones, cultures and customs,” he said. “It takes patience, but just like anything else, once [the communication is] established, it gets easier over time.” The refrigerant and
DRUGS From Page 1 busts, stings and warrants account for a small number of very large amounts, Biller said. There were 17 busts conducted last year and seven search warrants filed, Biller said. Most of the time “it’s quantity over quality,” he said. Severa l detect ives and officers work on drug investigations and every officer is trained on drug awareness and what to look for, said Lt. Ken Fortney of the police division. Additionally, some of the arrests and opera-
ha locarbon prov iding company’s local employees often talk to its international employees via video conference calls using Skype, Marcus said. Many also travel to meet with international employees in Australia, England and the Middle East, he said. RemTec International is one of nine local businesses associated with foreign firms. Their industries range from vehicle parts and supplies, farm supplies and industrial machinery and equipment to commodity contracts, cleaning and filtration systems, metal heat training, packing and sealing devices, automotive stampings and refrigerants. Bowling Green is a prime location for foreign firms to establish operations due to its geography, said Sue Clark, executive direc-
tor of the Bowling Green Community Development Foundation. “For the most part, it’s the location and the prox imit y to the auto industr y,” Clark said. “You can get to most plants within an hour, or two or three hours.” Bowling Green’s utility rates are cheaper than Toledo’s, further attracting businesses, Clark said. Municipal Administrator John Fawcett said the city’s ample land also makes it a prized location. “Bowling Green offers a lot of land and a good attractive spot near the Great Lakes, Interstate 75 and the turnpike,” Fawcett said. “You can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time.” The company’s northwest Ohio employees have good work ethic, adding to the benefits of locating a business here, Fawcett said.
tions can stem from complaints and anonymous tips, Biller said. In any case, police conduct surveillance before pursuing further action. Confiscated drugs are stored as evidence until the criminal trial is over, at which point the drugs are destroyed via courtorder by a police-operated incinerator, Biller said. Any associated currency is then distributed and put into different areas like the Police Drug Fund, which funds anti-drug operations, he said. Bowling Green is subject to drug traffic due to its proximity to Interstate 75, which stretches from Michigan to Florida, Fortney said.
A lot of drug traffic travels on the highway and Bowling Green offers many options for gas and food, he said. Students on campus mostly agree illegal drugs still have a presence in the town and at the University despite law enforcements’ efforts. Senior Jessica Chagolla said some students may participate in drug use on campus. It is not uncommon to hear people talking about smok ing ma rijuana and even smelling it in the residence halls, she said. Chagol la sa id she and her friends have been patted down and searched before during
“These key components put BG in the catbird seat,” he said. Clark said she thinks the foreign firms are a great addition to the city. “I think it makes BG a more global community,” she said. “When we have visitors, they’re always impressed with the community and employees.” Fawcett said he’d welcome more foreign firms to the city. “T hey’re f i na ncia lly strong, in a growing mode. They’re easy to work with and good neighbors,” he said. “And they’re providing muchneeded jobs to locals.” Pat r icia Bur ns, International Projects Director for RemTec International, said being acquired by A-Gas was positive for the business. “It’s a good fit,” she said. “The potential for growth with all the employees here is very good.”

PEOPLE ON THE STREET “A traveling one; anthropology in the field 24/7.”
EMILY GARCIA Sophomore, International Studies
Go into finals week with confidence, positive attitude LYDIA SCOTT COLUMNIST
If you’ve never seen my nails, they are quite short. I’m an anxiety nail-biter, so when things get stressful, my nails are history. It’s the week before finals and I’m assuming we’re all feeling the overwhelmingness of stress right about now. I once thought I was completely alone in having a high anxiety level, but was told immediately I was not. There are certain times when college students freak out together and this is one of them. Pretty much everyone on campus is simultaneously ready to rip their hair out. However, I am here to help. We feel directly challenged by the tests coming up. There are a few ways we can cope with this stress though and make testtaking not as much of a hassle, not to mention less nerve-wracking. In psychology, there is a process known as problemfocused coping. In this, one attempts to remove or modify all facets of the stressor (the thing causing stress). Since the finals are the stressor, you need to try to eliminate some of the anxiety that goes into studying. Do not wait until the night before your exam to study; start studying today. Yes, today. Not tomorrow or the next day. If you do this, then the likelihood of your stress being high will go down significantly. Personally, I find reading over my notes for a few days and then talking aloud about what I read to be extremely helpful in memorizing information. If you can lessen your worry, you will be much more ready to study. Plus, the stress pressing down on you is smaller, thus you will be able to sleep more, which aids in your ability to retain knowledge. Sleep is another of those small things you can do to offset your stress level. The more tiredness experienced, the more irritable you become. With an increased irritability level, you are at a high-

“Unless there is an emergency, nothing should surpass the importance of studying for the next week.” er risk of becoming susceptible to stress. Therefore, you must do everything in your power to get all the sleep you need, even if that means neglecting to spend time with your friends for the next week. They should understand that exams and grades come first. Unless there is an emergency, nothing should surpass the importance of studying for the next week. I’m even giving up time with people I enjoy hanging out with to study. Not only does sleep assist in reducing stress, it helps to keep immune functioning up. Both stress and a lack of sleep will make your immune system work less efficiently, causing you to get sick. I’m not sure about you, but when I get sick, taking a test is literally the last thing I want to do, let alone take four-to-six of them in a week. Preventing illness is another way to help reduce stress because it is one less thing you are forced to be concerned with. Please do me the favor of getting plenty of rest; it is exceptionally important. Finally, remember to be optimistic about your exams. Walking into a classroom with the attitude “I will fail this,” increases your risk of actually failing. Optimism will get you far in life so use it to your advantage even if you are discouraged. Stride into your exam with confidence in yourself and your knowledge of the material. I can almost guarantee this will help you get a higher score. I speak from personal experience: Pessimism is not your friend. Be positive. Why are you still reading this? Go study! Good luck and happy studying to all.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR University plans for clean energy future
Did you know that there is a natural gas plant on campus? Natural gas, portrayed as being the cleanest of fossil fuels, is still a dirty, non-renewable energy source. That’s why, as an Environmental Science major and a member of the Environmental Service Club, Environmental Action Group
and Net Impact, I support the 100 percent Clean Bowling Green campaign, which supports implementing clean energy such as wind, solar and geothermal sources to power our campus. Oct. 24, President Mazey signed the Presidents’ Climate Commitment (PCC), a document that commits our University to taking actions to reach climate neutrality, reduce our waste
and incorporate sustainability into our curriculum. This all started with the passion of those in Net Impact, who led the way by gathering 1300 student signatures, showing the students’ support for President Mazey to sign the PCC to commit the University to this goal. It’s up to us students to show our support for clean energy. If enough
of us want our campus to switch from natural gas to renewable energy, we can ask President Mazey to start the movement. Net Impact accomplished this with the PCC and it is now the turn of Environmental Action Groups to do so with clean energy.

the United States. Americans are on an eternal quest for the proverbial fountain of youth, as evident by our attitudes, self-altering behaviors and popular culture depictions. But why? Aging can’t be avoided. In fact, if we’re aging, it means we’re still living, and therefore doesn’t that mean we’re doing something right? I’ll admit I didn’t always think this way about our country’s older population.
My decision to take a sociology of aging course this semester and a recent mini-vacation, however, have certainly changed my perspective. My fiancé and I took a trip to New York City last week, a dream come true for a smalltown girl fascinated by life in the big city. The visit was a little different than we initially envisioned it, however — the only way we could afford it was by booking a trip with
his grandparents and about 30 other members of local senior centers coordinating the trip. My fiancé has lived with his great-grandmother for most of his life, so he’s no stranger to the older crowd, but the experience was eye-opening for someone like me who hasn’t spent nearly as much time around my elders.

University financial priorities need revision MATTHEW THACKER ASSISANT FORUM EDITOR I have been a student here at the University since 2010, and I have grown to love this school. The young men and women who attend here are among the smartest and most dedicated that I have ever met, and the faculty and staff have always been terrific too. I have, however, noticed a change in what seems to be the overall attitude of the University from when I started here just two short years ago, and it is not a change I like. It is now an attitude that is more turned toward money, and away from the students and their quality of education. Monday evening as I was leaving class I got a phone call from an automated recording in the Bursar’s office. This mechanical “Bursarian” told me that I have an outstanding balance (because of the classes I am registered for in the spring semester) and that if the balance is not taken care of by Dec. 15 I will be
WIDMAN From Page 3 When I initially told others who are my age about our plans, many seemed puzzled. “That should be a fun trip,” they would sarcastically comment.

I assure you, the group accompanying us on our
dropped from my spring semester classes. Dec. 15. Are finals even over by then? Can I not even finish worrying about the end of this semester before I start worrying about the start of next semester? Is the University so pressed for money, or getting stiffed on their tuition bill by so many students, that they think this kind of extreme action is necessary? Did they learn nothing from the beginning of this semester when 500 students were not only dropped from their classes but also their on-campus housing plans? They should have learned that sending out notices right before, and during, finals is counterproductive because students have so much going on trying to do well in that last push of the semester that they tend to tune-out everything else. It raises the question: What is more important to the University, making sure students doing well in their classes, or making sure they are not so much as a week overdue on a tuition payment? I understand the University needs enough money to operate and
make sure everything can run smoothly, but as I look around campus at how they are always tearing down one building or another, sometimes without any outwardly visible benefit (think pop culture building), money doesn’t appear to be a problem. And whatever happened to giving your students the benefit of the doubt? I guess I can understand if they have a newly enrolled freshman who has not yet shown that he or she will pay their bill, but if you have attended two or more semesters and your bill has always miraculously been paid, then how about a little faith that, based on their previous example, the bill will be paid. Another example of the University’s love of money is their apparent dealings with the BGSU Faculty Association. Now to be fair, I don’t know all of the details of the dealings between the University and the faculty, but I do know the University is among the highest in the state in tuition and fees while our professors are among the lowest paid. So where is all that money — that they cannot afford
to let you pay even a day or two late — going to if not to help pay for our educators? And can you think of a better way that the University could spend that money than by paying our professors well enough to keep the best and brightest wanting to come here to teach? I sure can’t. I know it’s cool to have a multimillion dollar building emerging from the ground like a gopher peeking out for food, but I’d much rather have a professor teaching me who could have gone to teach at any university he or she chose, but decided to come to the University instead. That’s the kind of thing that makes average schools good and good schools great. The last thing I want to do is sound unappreciative for the opportunities that this University has afforded me as an old guy trying to get his education, but I love this school. I care about its future. And I care about the next generation of leaders being educated in a place that does not value greed above quality education.
four-day venture was anything but stereotypical. Its members certainly took advantage of their time in the city that never sleeps, scaling to the top of the Empire State Building, braving rainy, windy weather at outdoor tourist attractions and trekking Times Square at all hours of the night. What was more impressive, however, wasn’t their physical prowess, but instead how welcome I felt among them despite being an obvious outlier in the group. I was always greeted by a friendly wave and “hello” — often a rarity on college
campuses, even among classmates and casual acquaintances. Instead of staring down at their cell phones during dinners or bus rides, they would ask me questions about my college studies, wedding plans or job aspirations and actually pay attention when I responded. The senior center members made a conscious effort to get to know me as we explored the city, and in turn, I also learned a lot about them and similarities we shared. Overall, the trip was one of the most fun and exciting experiences of my life.
And without the awesome group accompanying me, it wouldn’t have been nearly as special. Even though I missed two sociology of aging classes last week while I was gone, exploring New York City with 30 or so older adults was a rewarding hands-on substitution. It taught me powerful lessons I couldn’t learn in a classroom. Our age-based stereotypes of older Americans are discriminatory and wrong, regarding everything from their mental capabilities to their love lives, hobbies and social circles.

Respond to Matthew at thenews@bgnews.com
Some simple education on the matter can go a long way — and we don’t need to take a class like sociology of aging to learn more about this rapidly growing segment of our nation. In 2010, older adults comprised 13 percent of the United States’ population. By 2030, that number is expected to spike to 20 percent. Simply put, older adults aren’t going anywhere. There are plenty of learning opportunities out there. I urge you to get to know the older people in your life a little better — your grandparents, co-workers, profes-
sors, neighbors, whoever. Often they’re a gold mine of characteristics like wisdom, kindness, confidence, acceptance and experience. Usually they’re pretty clever. But ultimately, as I learned last week, they’re just regular people like you and me. Sit down and talk to them sometime, focusing on your similarities, rather than your differences. I bet you’ll find some common ground, too — but you’ll never know until you ask.

Crawford’s 26 points lead Falcons past Detroit, 70-65
Due to past successes, the collegiate rugby world was taught to not sleep on Bowling Green, as they competed in the National Sevens Tournament this past weekend in College Station, Texas. The Falcons were unranked going into the weekend and made the tournament on an at-large bid. In 2010, BG surprisingly took third in the Sevens Tournament. The Falcons didn’t have the same result this time around but still raised some eyebrows by placing No. 18 over the weekend. By Alex Krempasky The Falcon rugby club has already clinched a spot in the Assistant Editor 15’s Championship next April by virtue of theirSports Mid-American Conference championship this fall. The National Sevens Tournament has attracted tremendous interest in recent The Falcons premiered newyears black because of its inclusion in the 2016 uniforms Olympics.as they defeated the The Sevens game has grown to greatDetroit degreesTitans in just70-65 the past two years. on Tuesday.

The Falcons had a rough first half on the offensive side. They had nine turnovers, 10 player fouls and only had three offensive turnovers. The defensive side of the ball was more efficient, only allowing Detroit make 28.6 percent of their shots, including no three-point shots.
Falcons conclude homestand against Butler By Max Householder Reporter
The BG women’s basketball team will conclude its three game home stand on Wednesday night against Butler University. The Falcons are 1-1 currently in the home stretch after playing probably its best game of the year against Colorado State this past Saturday. This match is a rematch of a game played last year in which the Falcons won by a 71-61 margin. Butler is currently 3-4 on the season and have already had two other contests with Mid-A merican Conference schools. The Bulldogs beat Eastern Michigan in its last contest, and also took down Ball State on Nov. 13. This meeting will be the sixth meeting between the schools and the third time they have met in the last three years with BG winning the last two. It is hard to compare this BG team to past ones as this season has not gone as well as they would have liked. Other than Saturday’s win vs. Colorado State the Falcons have not looked like the BG teams of the past. BG is just above .500 at 4-3 on the season with only two of those wins being against significant opponents. In games against Purdue and Temple of the Big Ten
Western Washington. The St. Mary’s loss was devastating to the Falcons, as the Gaels won on an interception taken for a score as the time expired. “Essentially, two mental lapses knocked us out of the championship,” said center Dominic Mauer. “The guys responded well on the second day.” In Sunday’s consolation rounds, the Falcons started to show more of the physical play they had displayed in the MAC Sevens Tournament in September. BG knocked off No. 5 Air Force 21-14 on the strength of two tries by Nolan Cavano on top of a try and three conversion kicks by Mauer. The Falcons finished the day with a 24-14 win over Middlebury College. Head Tony Mazzarella was impressed with his team’s more blocks than the performance whole Detroit Thecoach second half was more sucon the last day of the tournament. team did during the game. Black had cessful on both sides of the ball “The squad put a lot of extra time in practice for three weeks after our two, last three blocks and Holmes had for the Falcons.

COLUMN From Page 5 BCS standings, and finishes ahead of a conference champion from a BCS conference in those standings. NIU did that, finishing No. 15 in the standings, in front of Big Ten Champion Wisconsin and Big East Champion Louisville. The onslaught continued for several minutes, before ending with David Pollack sarcastically asking Jesse Palmer how many players on NIU he thought were recruited to BCS conference teams. The answer to that: probably not a lot. But the whole sequence was snarky, and that was a question that did nothing to further the broadcast any. The thing that miffs me about this whole situation is why Northern Illinois is seemingly being used
as the whipping boy for people to take out their BCS frustrations. After all, Northern Illinois did nothing wrong. They have only done what was asked of them all season, which was take care of business. The reason they got into the BCS wasn’t because they threatened someone to make it happen — which you would think was the case based on the way ESPN’s talking heads reacted to their inclusion. The reason NIU got into the BCS is because the system is broken. If you want to blame anyone, blame that system. The reason the rule that allowed NIU into the BCS was put there to protect the BCS from anti-trust lawsuits. In short, executives cared more about protecting their money than ensuring that the most deserving teams were selected. Want to blame someone else? Blame the Big East and
the Big Ten. If either of those conferences were any form of respectable this year, then this rule would never have been in play. But let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture here. Even though the BCS as we currently know it will only be around a few more years, NIU’s Orange Bowl berth is a huge win for midmajor teams. It is the first time in the history of the BCS that a team from a non-automatic qualifying conference made a BCS bowl game with a loss on its record. The Orange Bowl berth is also a huge win for the MAC. NIU is the first MAC school to bust the BCS party, which will undoubtedly give the conference some added prestige. Most importanly, don’t fault the Huskies for their berth. If you feel the need to blame something, blame the broken system.
