Accidents increase during holiday travel
Buying the latest iPhone may be a form of contributing to war in the Congo. In the Congo, factions fight for rare materials in mines, which are later used to make electronics and other devices, which Net Impact tries to raise awareness for, said sophomore Chelsea Burbridge. Net Impact hosted a Falling Whistles event to raise awareness of the war in the Congo on Tuesday in the Union Ballroom. Burbridge, president of Net Impact, said the war in the Congo is the deadliest war today. Activists for Falling Whistles wear whistles around their necks to show solidarity towards young children in the war who blow whistles in order to get the enemy’s attention, which usually leads to their death. Burbridge says she feels passionate about Falling Whistles because she wants to make a difference in the world. “I’ve always told myself if I can help one life, one little kid ... to keep their innocence, then I think it’s worth it,” she said. Some of the money from the Whistles goes towards helping positive influences in the Congo to promote peace, such as businesses, Burbridge said. The event had booths, which included photos and TOMS shoes, as well as live music and a bouncy castle.
When senior Hannah Berry makes the two-hour drive home for the holidays, she knows what she’s going to do to make it a safe journey. “I’ve never really had troubles going home,” Berry said. “It’s pretty smooth.” Berry said driving under the speed limit and being aware of her surroundings are how she drives safely, though not every driver is as sure as Berry when driving home for the holidays. The National Safety Council estimates this past Thanksgiving alone had 436 traffic fatalities and 46,600 injuries that required medical attention. While people might think accidents are more often the result of poor conditions, Sgt. Shawn Robinson of the Bowling Green post of the Highway Patrol said that isn’t necessarily true. “It’s not so much that traffic accidents increase,” Robinson said. “There’s more traffic on the road. So any time you have more traffic on the road, there’s a greater chance for a traffic crash.”

Students choose majors based on security, not passion
Law enforcement, students offer safety tips By William Channell Reporter
SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT A HOUSE
Money is a factor when students plan for future; still important to enjoy career By Blake Howell Reporter
Students face tedious decision making while in college. One of the biggest decisions students make is declaring a major. However, according to a study from ACT, students are not choosing majors that align with their interests. The study suggests t hat out of 1.2 million high school graduates in 2013, only 36 percent chose a major they want to pursue. Junior Scott Schnitzler is one of those people.
COLLEGE MAJORS WITH HIGHEST STARTING SALARY
1. Petroleum Engineering - $96,200. 2. Computer Engineering - $70,300 3. Chemical Engineering - $66,900 4. Computer Science - $64,100 5. Aerospace/Aeronautical/ Astronautical Engineering - $63,900 Information from Forbes.com
Schnitzler, a computer science major, said it is for two different reasons: “future financial security and parental guidance.” When he came to the University in fall 2011, he started

as a film production major. “I chose film production because it was my passion,” Schnitzler said. “It’s still my passion. But a degree in film, especially at BGSU, just wasn’t practical.” Though computers have always been an interest for Schnitzler, he said it is not his passion, just a stable job career. Andrea Gutierrez, the assistant director and liaison of the Career Center, suggests that job security is a large reason, but it is more complex than that.

he holidays are about giving, and when it comes to gifts it’s supposed to be the thought that counts, isn’t it? But many feel that putting a gift card under the tree for a loved one isn’t personal or thoughtful enough of a gift. Some may even assert that it’s about as tactless as handing someone cash on Christmas morning or during whatever holiday you may celebrate. Gift cards have presented a newer holiday dilemma: they are great for the person who has everything, but are they good enough to stand as a present or not? I say gift cards do take an appropriate amount of time and energy to make a nice gift. They offer freedom to the receiver to get what they truly want or need and where you get the gift card from is where some thoughtfulness can come into play. Does Annie like Chipotle or Qdoba better? And, doesn’t Brandon go to Starbucks every morning? Gift cards make fine presents and perfect stocking stuffers, and here are the top places in Bowling Green to get gift cards for students: Cinemark- Movies are a fun pastime for college students, and the Cinemark in Bowling Green’s Woodland Mall is popular because of the in expensive tickets they offer.

World Celebrates Holidays Beyond Christmas By Phillip Martin

BOXING DAY
or many Americans, enjoying the holiday season simply means celebrating Christmas time. However, many in the U.S. and others around the world celebrate holidays throughout the year that though they may seem more uncommon to American customs, is just as important Translated from Swahili, meaning “first fruits,” to those cultures. Kwanzaa occurs between Dec. 26 and New Year’s Day. HANUKKAH Dr. Malulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 to promote unity among the African American community after the Watts riots in Los Angeles. Many who celebrate Kwanzaa focus on the Seven Principles, which are the following ideals: Unity, Selfdetermination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith. Meaning “dedication” On each evening of in Hebrew, Hanukkah Kwanzaa, one of the seven celebrates the rededication candles on the candleholder, of the Second Temple after called the Kinara. After the the Jews drove Syrians out lighting of each candle, a from their Promised Land principle is discussed for in 166 B.C. Following the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah that day, beginning with the black candle in the may occur in November or middle on the first night December. symbolizing Unity. On each evening of the Those who celebrate eight-day holiday, a candle Kwanzaa celebrate a feast on is lit on the menorah after Dec. 31 called Karamu. Gifts sundown. The ninth candle, are also exchanged on this called the shamash (which holiday. means “helper”), is used to light the others. Jews usually recite blessings and display the menorah in a window during this ritual. Other traditions include eating potatoes pancakes, known as latkes and playing with four-sided spinning tops called dreidels. Also like Christmas, some exchange gifts during Hanukkah.
Usually, Boxing Day follows Christmas Day on Dec. 26. Boxing Day may occur on Monday if Dec. 26 falls on a Sunday. Many people may notice this holiday directly after Christmas. Even fewer may know why this holiday appears on the calendar. What is the most unknown about this holiday is the origin of its name. In old times, bosses gave their servants and workers gifts in a “Christmas Box.” Today, Boxing Day is celebrated as a bank or public holiday in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Hong Kong. Boxing Day may also be considered the Black Friday of Britain, Canada and Australia. Retailers in these countries may draw the most shoppers on one single day of the year with many door buster deals and dramatic price reductions.
of Ramadan from dawn to dusk. During this time, followers are also to avoid smoking, partaking in sexual behavioral, thinking or speaking impure or unkind thoughts and words, and practicing immoral behavior. Many see this time of fasting to practice selfrestraint and introspection. Also, many see it as a time of cleansing the soul and empathizing with those in the world who are hungry and less fortunate. Id al-Fitr, a major feast is celebrated the day after Ramadan ends. The feast includes meals with family and gift exchanges. Id al-Fitr may last three days after Ramadan ends. Following the Islam lunar calendar Ramadan will occur again in late June of 2014.

CAREER From Page 1 “I know several students that just want to do hair, or, something that’s a hobby,” Gutierrez said. “If they could make great money to support themselves, and have benefits, I think they would do what they really wanted to do. But I think there’s been a fear because of the recession that we just had.” Gutierrez said this fear is leading students to believe they need a lot of money and need job security in their lives. Other factors that influence students’ decisions are not knowing what major to go into or choosing the wrong major to begin with, she said. “This happens in my appointments,” Gutierrez said. “Sometimes it’s just they needed someone to talk to, to frame it for them, and when they leave here after one appointment, boom, they make that decision right then in there.” According to Gutierrez, after visiting the Career Center, the majority of students declare a major in a semester or less. The Career Center specializes in pre-major advising and preparing students for the world beyond college. They can help students narrow down their interests and skill sets like refining resumes, doing mock interviews and how to approach recruiters. For the students who are especially lost, Gutierrez suggests a website called O*Net Online [onetonline.org]. O*Net Online gives students the option to type in a potential career. It takes the information entered and spits out an entire cluster of focused professions, as well as the work ethic and general information of those professions. But Gutierrez warns that even with all the planning and preparation a student does, “nothing is guaranteed.” Gutierrez, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in art and advertising from the University of Findlay, knows the future is never set in stone. She originally desired to be a children’s book illustrator, but kept getting the door shut on her. “W hen I graduated, there wasn’t a whole lot of jobs unless you had a teaching certificate,” she said. “But I ended up in

“But I ended up in higher education because my skill set aligned with the job description.” Andrea Gutierrez | Assistant Director higher education because my skill set aligned with the job description.” Although she is not an illustrator, Gutierrez said she always wanted to help people, so she completely loves what she does now. And there are other people like Gutierrez who love what they are currently doing, despite what the statistics say. Sophomore Brea nn McDede is an individualized business major and loves what she is doing. “I really like being in the College of Business because there’s so many activities,” McDede said. “They get you rea lly involved in ever y thing … it’s just a really good community.” McDede loves baking and eventually wants to open up her own baker y. She also believes being passionate about one’s major is extremely important. “When you think about going to college, it’s supposed to be about getting a job and making the most money possible … but if you’re not passionate about something, then 20 years from now, you’re not going to be happy about where you are,” she said. Marc Goldstein, a freshmen and film major, agrees with McDede. “College is a lot of money, it’s like $18,000 a year, so I think if you’re spending that type of money you should be spending it on something you really want to do, something you’re passionate about,” Goldstein said. “You shouldn’t spend that much money on something you don’t want to do, even if it’s the safe and practical root.” The war between practicality and passion is an ongoing occurrence. Knowing this, Gutierrez advises students to be open to other ideas, and to “not be pigeon holed into one area,” despite which route they are taking. “If you love what you do … t hat’s priceless,” she said.

AUGGIE SMITH performs at a comedy night in a 2012 show at Grumpy Dave’s when comedy night was hosted there before leaving to One49 North.
Lack of funding ends weekly comedy night By Alex Alusheff Managing Editor
After not receiving enough community or financial support, professional comedy night has left the stage at One 49 North. The comedy night, hosted by Inside Joke Productions, moved to One49 North this January from Grumpy Dave’s Pub, its home of 20 years. Comedy night featured professional comedians who were featured on HBO, Comedy Central and the “Bob and Tom Show,” said Steve Sabo of Inside Joke productions who ran the show. The event lasted at One49 until May before Sabo decided to pull it from the city completely. “One49 may not have been the right venue,” Sabo said. “It’s not known for comedy and people who came in on Tuesdays for drink specials didn’t want to pay a cover charge to get in.” The show cost $4 for students and $5 for everyone else. Sabo said it cost roughly $1,500 a month for comedy night, which was hosted every Tuesday. Sponsors
would cover half the cost or $750, leaving ticket sales to cover the rest, Sabo said. “Some weeks you’d have 100 people show up, some weeks you’d have 12 people show up,” Sabo said. On average, Sabo would be left with a gap of $400 a month, which he would have to pay out of pocket to finance the show and comedians. Support also dwindled from sponsors, Sabo said. Tobe Drew, owner of Ink Mafia, was one of the main sponsors of the event. “Other local businesses weren’t helping out as they used to,” Drew said, adding that it started with 15 sponsors and ended with three or four. Though he misses it, he hopes to bring some sort of comedy back to the city, such as a show once a month instead of every week, he said. Liz Robertson, director of Bad Genetics, a student improv group, said comedy night was a way to show people different forms of comedy. “I liked the opportunity it provided with people in town because there are not venues on campus,” Robertson said. While professional comedy
left one venue, it returned to another. Grumpy Dave’s brought back professional comedy night last week “because the people wanted it back,” said owner Dave Harper. Comedy night starts at 9 p.m. with three to five local acts with five-minute sets to warm up the professional act, who performs for roughly 30 minutes, Harper said. There is a $2 cover charge before 10:30 p.m, then it’s open mic night, Harper said. Robertson said she will do stand up at Grumpy Dave’s to try out new material and keep comedy alive in the city. Her style of comedy is story-based with social commentary, she said. “I’m a big believer in comedy with a purpose,” Roberston said. Bad Genetics will also perform at One 49 on Jan. 23, which is how owner Rick Ault said he is trying to keep comedy alive at his bar. Ault originally hosted comedy night at Kamikazi’s [now Shots Inc.] when it first debuted in the city in 1992. “I really enjoyed [comedy night] and I would allow it back,” Ault said. “People realy

appreciated comedy too.” Though professional comedy is no longer in the city, Sabo performs in the area in Oregon, Fremont and Beaverdam, Ohio. While he is no longer involved in Bowling Green Comedy, Sabo still has fond memories. “I enjoyed being there and supporting up-and-coming comics. I’ll miss that camaraderie,” he said. “It’s just disappointing that in a college town, we couldn’t get enough people to support that art form.”
Scam emails sent to students often offer fake jobs Career Center can determine if positions are real, advises against replying to Hotmail, Gmail accounts By Amber Petkosek Social Media Editor
Spam emails are something many students send straight to their junk mail folder. Sometimes messages still make it through the filter, and they can be deceiving to some students. Students often receive mass emails from people who offer them a “job.” Many of the job offers students receive through email sound too good to be true, said Jessica Turos, the associate director of the Career Center. Turos said the Career Center will help students with
figuring out the emails. “If [students] receive an email and wonder if it’s for a legitimate job, we will help them decipher if it is,” she said. “They can either give the Career Center a call, send us an email or stop by.” If the employer is legitimate, but the email may seem questionable to students, Turos said Career Services can help them rewrite the descriptions so it seems less like a scam. Turos said if students have their resumes on WorkNet there is a possibility the employers may have sent the students emails through there.
Students can search the employer’s name on WorkNet to see if it is legitimate. “If an email is coming from an employer, it should be coming from their employer email, and not from their Hotmail or Gmail,” Turos said. Some of the different things students can look out for with scam emails include a lot of typos or the guarantee of a job or internship. Other things to look out for include sending checks for supplies and asking the recipient to send the rest back or asking for personal information. The Career Center has a section on their website that can
give students more information about fraudulent emails. Another resource students can use when trying to decipher whether an email is fraudulent is by contacting Information Technology Services. Freshman Kristen Koopman said when she gets spam emails from people she just ignores them and deletes them. However, she does know someone who actually responded to one of the emails.

LETTERTO THE EDITOR University should decline invitation to bowl game
The BG football team defeated Northern Illinois in the MAC championship game Friday. While I happily acknowledge players and coaches for their accomplishment, I also would like to suggest, respectfully, that the University decline its forthcoming bowl invitation and stay home this season. Friday provided an interesting juxtaposition at the University. In the afternoon, University constituents protested faculty cuts at the Board of Trustees meeting. University administrators argue that these cuts are necessary for budgetary reasons. That night, the University won a football game that will cost the University money. BG’s win means that NIU will not make the BCS, and MAC schools will thus not receive money from NIU’s BCS appearance. Meanwhile, the University will need to spend money to go to its bowl game. If the budget is in such bad shape that we need to let faculty go, then we don’t need to dispense more money to the football program. We’re not contractually obligated to go. We’d go because we don’t
want to let down people’s expectations. Meeting expectations and not letting people down may be good reasons, but in our contemporary budget situation, we’ve been told that’s not enough. Non-tenure track faculty may have expected continued employment, and nonrenewal may let them down, but, we’re told, contractually that doesn’t matter. The same ought to apply to football. Friday thus ought to ask us to take a hard look at our priorities. On the one hand, we were asked to accept faculty cuts because the University needs the money. Then, we were asked to celebrate a football victory that will cost the University money. For years, I enjoyed following college football, but I gave it up in 2012 exactly because of situations that show misplaced priorities. I didn’t want to have to choose to give up football, but I’m not going to choose football over faculty or the education that faculty provide. Please join me in choosing education by asking the University to decline its bowl invitation. Ray Schuck Assistant Professor of Communication, Firelands

greg burleson Columnist One time, in the not too distant past while attending the University of Sheffield in Great Britain, I took a course on ancient philosophy. As we approached finals, as we presently are nearing, it dawned on me that I had 14 days from my last class until my first final; as finals in Sheffield are broken among a three-week period. As any hard-working and diligent student would do, I promptly booked a cheap flight to Germany and spent the next 13 days parading the Bavarian countryside. I had a backpack with me. Stuffed inside were the essentials; a sleeping bag, a tent, some pretzels. I did, however, have one curious item— small book of philosophic writings which were to be on the final. For any that have not caught on yet, I studied for my final exam by backpacking, camping and hitchhiking southern Germany. Here’s the thing, after several hours of enjoying

Education core of University, not legacy buildings KYLE SHUPE GUEST COLUMNIST The University’s legacy buildings are “the core” of this University according to a trustee in last Friday’s Board of Trustees meeting. Yes, you read that right. It’s not the students who are central. It’s not education that is paramount. A couple of old buildings are what makes this University what it is. This statement is telling. This mindset that pervades the upper-echelons of the University’s administration explains the recent renovations to campus buildings and the construction of new ones. Mc D o n a l d Ha l l received a face-lif t, Olscamp was remodeled and the Wolfe Center sprung up on campus. This is not to say these costs weren’t needed. McDonald was a mess and performing arts students needed a place to perform, but these and a series of
Look outside of box for other ways of studying myself, I ultimately sat down on a hillside across from the castle, had a picnic and read my book. To my great fortune, the experience of exploring Germany left me in a very relaxed state, which significantly enhanced my studying. The truth is, I spent relatively little time studying. I was not looking away to the future or the horizon. My mind was on where I was; what I was doing. I finally returned to Sheffield and rocked that exam as though I was the incarnation of Plato; the author we were studying. People who hear this story have often wondered how it was I did so well after putting forth so little attention. The fact is, despite investing limited time, during the time spent studying, I was in the most opportune mindset to actively read and integrate the material to memory. There is something very special about sitting on Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber’s famous city walls at sunset and reading philosophy. To this day, nearly two years later, I can vividly recall reading Plato’s “Crito” that evening and can speak fluently

on the subject. In general, we need to slow our lives down to live in the moment and appreciate the little things. Maintaining a proper mindset is enormously important for both travel and study as it allows a relaxed mind to attend to the task at hand with unparalleled focus. I often hear negative thoughts and ideas directed at those who choose to spend portions of their time among leisure activities; including anything from playing video games with friends to weekend binge-fests. All good things require moderation but to a certain degree, these people have it right. Leisure activities, of any classification, are essential tools in establishing a healthy mindset and maximizing your efforts. Fortunately, these lessons are universal and learning to use them now is an important part of our college experience. This is a stressful time; do yourself a favor. Do study and when you do so, study smarter.

little ‘improvements’ like touchscreen televisions in the halls of various building, inspiring photos of the University in the Education Building illustrate the manic improvements to the University’s facade while education at this University has been faltering. T he s e c o s m e t ic approaches are just that: cosmetic, but why are we doing this? The answer is recruitment. Applying a thick layer of makeup to the face of this University might make it look more appealing to potential students but it lacks any substantial reason to stay at the University. No student attends college to look at pictures in hallways; we’re here to prepare for future careers and become educated members of society. Sure, we need a place to learn in but buildings, even legacy ones, are certainly not what college is about. I decided to attend the University because of the phenomenal Adolescence to Young Adult Education
program which I intended to major in. However, one class with one teacher changed my mind about the work I wanted to do post-graduation and I changed my major to Sociology. That instructor is no longer at this University. Over my four years here I have had the privilege to work with some amazing faculty who have challenged me to think and provided me with skills I’ll need in my career and life after the University. I came to this University for a fantastic program and I stayed because I love working with and learning from the faculty here. I am not the only student who feels this way about their teachers. This relat ion sh ip between students and our educators is why hundreds marched on McFall when administration threatened to cut 100 faculty. This is why more than a hundred sat in on the Board of Trustees meeting Friday since, after cutting faculty, we see more jobs are on the line. We students care about our faculty and the

quality of our education. P r e s id e nt Ma zey claims “it seems it’s the age of criticism of the ad m i n ist rators” a nd she’s right. We students and faculty are criticizing you for disrupting our educators’ lives and abilities to teach. We’re criticizing you for negatively affecting the quality of our education. We’re criticizing you for failing to strive for the vision and mission of this University. Cutting faculty only leads to larger class sizes, fewer courses offered, less individualized education and more stress on teachers. The core mission of education at this University is compromised when those who actually teach are being cut left and right.

Working part-time, going to school tough; life lessons, purpose learned DYLANNE PETROS COPY CHIEF
Being a student who is working 30 hours a week and is completely on their own is a life-changing experience. Don’t get me wrong, my parents support me being in college and help with my tuition. Other than that, though, I am on my own. This is my first year living off-campus so that means that I have bills. Rent, utilities, credit card, car insurance and food are just some of the things I have to pay for myself. In order to pay all of those bills, I have to have a parttime job. By part-time job, I mean a job that guarantees me 30 hours a week. If I get less than 30 hours a week, I will not be able to support myself financially. On top of working 30 hours a week, I have five classes. This is my last year at the University, so I am in all of
my major and minor classes. These aren’t the fluffy, easy general education classes. These are my core classes that I need to pay attention in and do well in. After five classes and work at Circle K, I’m not done. I am also an editor here at The BG News. My role is to read all the stories and edit them. That takes up a lot of my time. On average, I probably spend 20 hours in the newsroom a week. There are some nights, after getting off work at 11 p.m. [Circle K] or after midnight [The BG News], I go home and do homework that needs to be done for my next day of classes. The last time I went to bed before 2 a.m. was because I had to be at work at 7 a.m. Usually I am up until 2 or 3 a.m. working on homework. Then the next day I am up at 9 or 10, depending on whether my class is at 11:30 or 12:30. I yawn all day long. My temper can be short sometimes. I zone out in class or while reading stories on the computer.
But I love what I do and I love the lessons that I am learning here during my last year. Not only am I learning things for my future career in journalism, but I am also learning how to manage money and work long hours. I love working 30 or more hours a week. It makes me feel like I have a purpose and it keeps me occupied [since I have get bored and have nothing to do but I can’t seem to relax]. Even if you don’t need a job in college, I highly recommend people get one. Not only will you have extra cash in your pocket [which can be great when there is a last-minute event you want to attend], but it will teach you time management skills and budgeting. Sometimes, having a job and going to school can be stressful but it teaches people life-long skills that you just can’t learn from classes alone.

Just like coach always told us... Next man up has got to be ready
I have confidence that the football team will be 2-0 at Ford Field with @CoachScheier at the helm.
Really excited that @CoachScheier is the interim head coach for the bowl game. Best Special Teams coach in the nation in my eyes
Ecstatic about havin @CoachScheier as our coach moving along
Congrats to @CoachScheier ! Let’s keep this train a rollin!
Congrats to @BGCoachClawson on his new gig at Wake Forest. Only knew him for four years, but he made a major impact on my life.
New interim head coach Adam Scheier takes over where Clawson leaves off Proud to say I played for a great coach in Clawson. He’s a great guy who has helped us grow as a team. Thanks coach and best of luck.
Congratulations to Dave Clawson on his new job. He built a program the right way at BG and I’m sure he’ll do the same in future.
Best of luck to Coach Clawson in the ACC, Thanks for giving me an opportunity to play this game that I love so much.

Just four days ago the BG football team was celebrating its first Mid-American Championship in 21 years; now they are saying goodbye to the coach who got them there. Dave Clawson, who had a record 32-31 as the Falcon’s head coach, has officially been named the head coach of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman traveled to the MAC Championship game Friday night not just as a BG alumnus but on business to watch Clawson coach his alma mater to a conference championship as well as to interview him that weekend. Clawson interviewed for the position Saturday and was given the position Monday night. The Demon Deacons are an interesting move for Clawson in

The Demon Deacons finished this year with a record of 4-8 going 2-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Clawson will take a few assistant coaches with him to recruit for Wake but they will come back to coach in the bowl game. Offensive coordinator Warren Ruggiero and defensive coordinator Mike Elko will follow Clawson to Wake Forest according to what he said in his

Week 14 of the National Football League was the week of the quarterback. This past weekend there were six quarterbacks who threw for more than 300 passing yards with at least three touchdowns and no interceptions. This week we’ll take a look at some players who have flown under the radar this season in fantasy football. Two qua r terbacks who caught my eye in Week 14 were Cleveland Browns Jason Campbell and Chicago Bears Josh McCown, who will play each other this upcoming weekend. Campbell threw for a season high 391 yards, and three touchdowns in a heartbreaking loss against the New England Patriots. Campbell, who is on his third team in four seasons, finally looks comfortable behind the
introduction press conference in Salem, N.C. Tuesday morning, Clawson was in Bowling Green to speak to the players. He did not talk to any media as he was soon on a plane to Salem, N.C. for his 4:30 p.m. press conference. “I’m happy for coach Clawson. he deserves the job,” said graduate student Tony Parenti. “From what I have heard he has to get there as soon as possible and start recruiting because our program is in better shape than Wake’s.” This left the Falcons without a coach going into the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl on Dec. 26,. That is until Tuesday morning when it was announced that former special teams coordinator Adam Scheier would be named interim head coach for the rest of season. “Coach Scheier is going to do a great job in leading these

center again. He will get his sixth start of the season this upcoming weekend vs. the Chicago Bears. The last time Campbell had six starts in a season was in 2011 with the Oakland Raiders. McCown, who will also have his sixth start of the season looks to continue his success. On the season, McCown has 13 touchdowns to just one interception. The last three games McCown has thrown for more than 300 yards, even though it has resulted in just one win. On Monday night, McCown threw for 348 yards and accounted for five total touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys. Week 15 will have a nice quarterback matchup between McCown and Campbell, who not many would have expected to have such quality seasons. The Browns will host the Bears
The BG basketball team will face off against The University of North Dakota Wednesday night for a chance to avenge their close loss to Xavier this past Saturday. The Falcons lost to Xavier University in overtime 85-73 while junior Richuan Holmes had another career-high scoring night with 26 points. Holmes has scored a careerhigh in points two games in a row as he totaled 18 points aga inst Western Kentuck y Dec. 2. North Dakota’s Troy Huff is the leading scorer in the Big

“I’ve got a truck, so I usually throw it in four-wheel drive,” Duddy said. “I always try to know what the car is behind me a lane over ... [I] check blind spots.” Robinson said it is not a good idea to blame any one variable as the cause of accidents. “There’s no one set answer for a traffic crash,” Robinson said. “Possibly they’ve been drinking or they’re impaired in any way, or they’re not paying attention and [are] distracted.” Duddy said people can

Nelson said. “You never know when selling back if you’re going to get a good deal or not,” he said. “A lot of students don’t want to take risks.” Junior Jake Sanchez almost always takes the risk. “It’s because of the sell back,” he said. “I feel like you get more money back.” But students like freshman Amber Steiner prefer to rent books because of the money she saves. “Some books [are] cheaper to rent instead of paying the full price and then trying to sell them,” she said. Steiner said she thinks the new options will save students a lot of money. The amount of students renting increases every semester, he said. This semester, 3,800 students rented textbooks and about 6,000 books were rented, Nelson said. The bookstore is able to offer more titles through a partnership with a new company, Campus Book Rentals. The company is newer and based in Utah. It offers Sidewalk, a service which uses kiosks to rent books, Nelson said. Nelson learned about the company a while ago, but before, the company hadn’t worked out how students could pay with different methods through the bookstore. Now, the company has worked it out and the bookstore has two new kiosks. There will soon be a third in the Union multipurpose room. Students have a few options when renting

books. They can order them online and have them shipped to their house, or just go to the bookstore and buy them. Though there is no orderthen-pickup option with this company right now, Nelson said there will be one soon. When students pick up a book, there will be a kiosk tag and the student can then take the book to the kiosk and scan it, Nelson said. They can pay for it there with a credit card or pay at a register with another form of payment, though a credit card is required to secure the rental. When the student is done with the book, they can return it to the bookstore, even if it was shipped to them to begin with, Nelson said. Sophomore Eric Lane likes the idea of this option. “I rented my books this year from a website and I’ll have to send those back,” he said. “It’s definitely a good thing.” Students will also be able to buy books at the end of the rental period, before that could only happen if the book was damaged. Nelson said other schools have used the program. At Bloomsberg University in Pennsylvania, rentals tripled the first time this program was offered, Nelson said. The program could be ready and in place as early as next week, Nelson said. “It will definitely be in time for the start of spring semester,” he said. “From one semester to the next, and to be able to offer three times as many rental options, that’s huge and it has the potential to impact almost every student.”

SCAM From Page 4 “They emailed them, and [the sender] never got back to them,” she said. Matt Haschak, the director of Information Technology Security and Infrastructure said students occasionally forward potential scams to an email to look into. One thing they will do is take a portion of text and Google search it to see if it is unique, or if it is a common scam. Although ITS tries to make it hard for scammers to find students email addresses, they often find ways around it. “There are several ways that spammers and scammers might get access to email addresses,” Haschak said. “Obviously for one, people are putting things like their contact info out on various social media sites.” As well as putting their information on social media sites, scammers can get emails through different

email viruses and through the University directory. “You don’t have to be a BGSU student to use that,” he said. Students should be cautious whenever they receive non-personalized and unsolicited emails offering something like a job, Haschak said. Haschak said he can guarantee the University is not selling the emails to any type of spammers. Despite all the spam emails students receive each day, Haschak said very few of the ones he has reported to him are about jobs. ITS will send out a fraud alert when someone has had an issue because of the email or if ITS believes it is a deceptive email. Although ITS could block the sender of the spam emails it is often times not worth the extra effort. “It is technically possible, however, if you look at each one of these things, it is so easy for them to send from different email addresses we would be fighting a losing battle,” Haschak said.

Sophomore Rodrigo Patterson, a member of TOMS shoes, said he’s glad organizations like his exist because they make the world a better place. “I love that [TOMS shoes] is giving back to children,” he said. Junior Justin Granley, a member of Net Impact,
said the war in the Congo is an important issue because of the deaths and violence that result from it. “I would rather have a person on this planet than a mobile phone,” he said. Granley said he wanted the event to be relaxing while informing people of the conflict in the Congo. Freshman Bryce Dotson went to the event because he saw it in Campus Update and thought it was interesting. He said issues like this interest him because he wants to help underrepre-
sented people in the future. “One of my goals is to go into politics. I understand there are many underrepresented minorities in the U.S. and around the world,” Dotson said. Junior Bill Kennedy said Falling Whistles is important because there is strength in numbers, and with enough people anything can be accomplished. “I want to show my solidarity with my fellow brothers and sisters,” he said. “It’s in our self interest to stop suffering.”
