Dining Services to keep current hours; no changes for students spring semester By Abby Welsh News Editor
Students won’t have to worry about any changes with dining halls when they come back from break. “Students get into a routine and the last thing I want to do is disrupt that,” said Michael Paulus, director of Dining Michael Services. Dining Services Paulus tries to work on all Director changes during the of Dining Services summer. This gives them all year to work on surveys and figure out what worked and didn’t work for students that year, Paulus said. “Our main goal for spring semester is dedicated to figuring out how to keep the students over in Kreischer and Harshman happy with the food at the Sundial,” he said. However, there will be changes at the beginning of next fall. Because Dining Services determines traffic of students in the dining halls every 15 minutes, they plan according to that. Right now, Dining Services is working with Capital Planning and Pinkberr y to move Pinkberry’s location to the Sweet Shop in the Oaks dining hall, but will not fully be open until fall of next year. “There is more traffic over by the Oaks, and because Dunkin’ Donuts is over there and is open year round, we can make Pinkberry open year round,” Paulus said. The open loft area of the old location of Pinkberry will have an extended Outtakes in its place.
Wood County to put marijuana to vote, other counties in Ohio are considering putting legalization of marijuana on ballot in 2014

Story by Jodi Abazoski | Reporter
Festival. Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief of police, said that marijuana is an issue for the city and they make arrests due to it almost every night. Still with only three of the 88 counties in Ohio having raised enough signatures to put medical marijuana on the ballot, Hetrick said he doubts that this hot button will see much change next year. While marijuana use has proven to have some medical uses especially in relieving chronic pain, Hetrick puts the drug proponent’s intentions for legalization to question. He said that his main concern is that people don’t want it to be legalized for the reason it should. Some are saying that they are advocating for medical use, when in reality they want the drug legal for easier access to recreational use, Hetrick said. Hetrick has seen criminal issues surrounding the use of other legal drugs. “You see that now with prescription pills,” he said. “We’ve arrested people who have gone to multiple doctors to get multiple pills to either sell or abuse.” He said that while the effects of something like opiates and marijuana are different, marijuana use still has more negative consequences

EXAM SERIES 2: PLACES TO STUDY Local businesses provide quiet study areas; change of scenery If students are looking for a change of scenery other than a dorm room or the library, Bowling Green has a variety of coffee shops to offer. Grounds For With finals upon us, local coffee shop Grounds for Thought, located Thought— 6:00 a.m. to downtown on Main Street, is one of many places students can go to get 11:00 p.m. daily some studying done. Starbucks— MondaySince 1989, it has provided an atmosphere for students and townies. Thursday 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Grounds For Thought is both a coffee shop and book store. Friday 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday-Sunday 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Grounds for Thought is the place to study for students who may need a caffeine fix. There are caffeinated beverages to accompany any Panera— 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily all-nighter. Sarah Smith, one of the store managers, said she believes that Grounds For Thought is perfect for every type of student. “We cater to everybody, because people have different ways of studying. There are sections with no music playing and large tables available for people to work in groups,” Smith said. Grounds For Thought isn’t the only place to go for students looking for a quiet hideaway to study or a good cup of coffee. Starbucks and Panera also provide a study spot for students.

High school students in Wood County are having sex at a younger age, but experts say sex is not the problem; being safe is. In a recent study of how many sexual partners high school students in Wood County have had, the average is lower than the national average. In Wood County, 10 percent of high school students have had four or more sexual partners, which is less than the national average of 15 percent.

Success of Linked Courses being evaluated This was the first semester that linked courses were brought to the University, but this won’t be the last. Linked courses is a University initiative to try to improve freshmen’s connections with the campus community and their peers, said Susan Kleine, associate vice provost for Undergraduate Education. The University is currently gathering data through surveys from professors and students based off of what they thought. “Anecdotally, we’ve heard students say it is a good thing and students are recognizing one another,” Kleine said. Next fall the University will be working on more linked courses with departments based off of the feedback. “We want to do this effectively, but we won’t know much until we see the data,” Kleine said. Check The BG News next semester to see what majors and colleges will offer linked course for returning and incoming students.

FIGHTING FOR A SLICE Falcons prepare for Panthers with new interim coach Adam Scheier By Alex Krempasky Sports Editor
Aaron Gordon looks to add another trophy to his award heavy season By Cameron Teague Robinson Assistant Sports Editor
For the second consecutive year, the BG football team will be headed to a postseason bowl game as it faces the University of Pittsburgh Panthers in the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl, Dec. 26, at Ford Field in Detroit. The 10-3 (7-1) Falcons earned their 2013 bowl bid after defeating the then-No. 14 nationally ranked Northern Illinois University Huskies in the Mid-American Conference Championship game on Dec. 6. “It’s an honor to go to a bowl game for the second year in a row,” BG quarterback Matt Johnson said. “And to play a BCS team in Pitt, it’s going to be a hard task, but we’re really looking forward to the challenge.” This win marked the first time since 1992 that BG won a MAC title. This will not be the first time that the Falcons will play a bowl game in Detroit. The 2003 BG football team was invited to the Motor City Bowl after a 47-27 loss to the Miami University RedHawks in the MAC Championship game. BG went on to defeat the Northwestern University Wildcats 28-24. “We are thrilled to have the Falcons back with us this year, after such an outstanding 2013 championship season,” said Ken Hoffman, CEO and executive director of the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl. “Their nationally-ranked 2003 team and their sizable fan base brought one of the most exciting games in our bowl’s history to Detroit.” The Falcons have not won a bowl game since 2004 when they defeated the University of Memphis Tigers 52-35 in the GMAC Bowl.

At first glance a matchup between 10-3, MidA merican Champion Bowling Green State and 6-6, University of Pittsburgh looks like a mismatch. “We are excited to play in another game against such a quality opponent,” said Pittsburgh head coach Paul Chryst in a press release. “Bowling Green was impressive not only in the MAC Championship but all season long and we have a competitive game ahead. If people look at the schedule Pittsburgh has played and the fact that they had only the eighth best record in the Atlantic Coast Conference it may look like an even bigger mismatch. They have the 86th ranked scoring offense in the country, the 61st ranked passing offense and the 112th ranked rushing offense in the country. Those stats seem to play right into the Falcons game plan as they have one of the best defenses in the country. The Panthers are still a very capable team and can compete with the Falcons as they are one of only three teams to hold the Florida State University offense to under 43 points. That is not a great stat but when the Seminoles are averaging 53 points a game and have scored 80 points on a team that is something to be talked about. They also have beaten the ACC runner-ups Duke University early in the season by a score of 58-55. While the ACC has not been a great conference this year that Duke team has compiled a 10-3 record just like the Falcons with wins over Virginia Tech, and the University of Miami. The most important influence on the game for the Panthers will not be in the stats sheet, it will not be who will score for the Panthers against the top ranked Falcons defense. It will be their senior defensive tackle Aaron Donald who will make the biggest impact on the game for them. Donald was awarded many honors this year as

LITTLE CAESAR’S PIZZA BOWL GAME PREVIEW

Ford Field as it awaits Bowling Green and Northern Illinois for the Mid-American Championship on Dec. 6, 2013. The Falcons won the game 47-27 to win their first MAC champion sip since 1992.
Senior reflects on four years of BG Football Ethan Easterwood Senior Writer
I can honestly remember when Bowling Green went 2-9 and the fans were calling for Clawson’s head. I can honestly remember when the Falcons went 5-7 and we were all just hoping to finish at .500. I can honestly remember losing games due to missed extra points and last second turnovers; however I can also remember winning the MAC Championship knocking of nationally ranked Northern Illinois and Heisman hopeful Jordon Lynch. I can remember a lot of BG football over the past four years and this year is something truly special. For the first time since 2008-2009, the team will appear in back to back bowl games, and for the first time since 1992, the Falcons won the MAC Championship. I would say around half of BG’s students weren’t even born yet, including quarterback Matt Johnson. But why should we be excit-
ed for the Little Caesars Bowl? I mean, we lost our coach and some of his staff, and it isn’t even a big bowl game, right? This year is a special opportunity at the Little Caesers Bowl game because for the first time in a decade, BG could win 11 games and begin to even up the losing postseason record that currently stands at 4-6. BG also will be facing Pittsburgh who had a streaky season to finish at 6-6, but Pittsburgh comes from the ACC which is an automaticqualifying conference. This is an opportunity to beat one of the larger conferences and represent the MAC. The Little Caesars Bowl is just as prestigious as any other non-BCS bowl game, and until BG goes undefeated, this is likely the best we can hope for, so we may as well appreciate the opportunity. A win would make a large difference in next seasons recruiting, which is likely to take a hit with Clawson’s sudden departure. An 11 win team, MAC Champions and Bowl winners says a lot to the next batch of college standouts. Most importantly it gives
the world one more look at how good this team can be. BG turned a lot of heads in larger circles than just the MAC after their trampling of Northern Illinois. Larger conferences were thanking the Falcons for not allowing NIU to bust their party, which means larger conferences were taking notice. The Associated Press had 10 votes for BG to become nationally ranked. When many tuned in to watch Jordon Lynch extend his Heisman campaign, they instead saw a sophomore phenom that despite setting defenses on fire all year saw little attention. Matt Johnson was not selected for any AllMAC honors despite his accolades and school records. Another game means more heads to turn. The Falcons currently boast the fifth best defense in the nation, which should give Pittsburgh quite a handful, even with BG’s interim coaching situation. Nonetheless, it would be naïve for anyone to write off Pittsburgh in the game, so I guess you’ll just have to go to Detroit on Dec. 26 to watch.
Preview From Page 2 BG has been to three bowls since 2004 including the 2008 GMAC (lost to Tulsa 63-7), the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl (lost to Idaho 43-42) and the 2012 Military Bowl (lost to San Jose State 29-20). The upcoming bowl game against Pittsburgh will be BG’s first football game without Dave Clawson as the head coach since Nov. 28, 2008. Special teams coordinator Adam Scheier will be taking the head coaching reigns as interim head coach after Clawson left
Pitt From Page 2 he was named the ACC defensive player of the year, the Outland Trophy winner naming the best offensive or defensive lineman and he was named to the First Team All-American team. He also earned three even more prestigious awards when he was awarded the Bronko Nagurski Trophy,
for the head coach position at Wake Forest University this past week. This game is a special one for BG quarterback Matt Johnson, who hails from Harrisburg, Pa. Johnson is coming into the game with a little motivation after learning that he will be facing the Pittsburgh Panthers on Dec. 26. “I know a lot of guys on [Pittsburgh’s] team,” Johnson said. “I played against them in high school. It’s going to be exciting going up against guys I personally played against.” The bowl game will also be the final time the senior
players will be suiting up as a member of the BG football program. “It was kind of difficult, the first couple of years, not being able to experience [a bowl game],” senior tightend Alex Bayer said. “So to go back, especially in my last year, and being able to go out and play in another game, it’s exciting.” Fans can buy discounted tickets and bus tickets for the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl from the athletic department website, bgsufalcons.com. Follow @BGNewsSports on Facebook and Twitter for live updates from the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl on Dec. 26 at 6 p.m.
Chuck Bendarik Trophy, Rotary Lombardi Trophy. The Nagurski is awarded to the nation’s most outstanding defensive player, the Bendarik is awarded to the “Defensive Player of the Year” and the Lombardi is awarded to the nation’s most outstanding lineman or linebacker. “I’m just overwhelmed with all of the wonderful honors from this week,” said Donald in Pittsburgh press release. “The name
“Lombardi” says it all. All of the finalists are such great players. I’m blessed to have been chosen for this award.” This Pittsburgh team is not to be underestimated, they can and have competed w it h some of the best teams and players in the country. Although their stats don’t jump out like the Fa lcons stats do the Panthers will not be an easy win by any means.

“ONE TEST TO RULE THEM ALL”
SHELBY SWEINHAGEN | THE BG NEWS
State funding plays role in faculty cuts Rape garments promotes issues in society PAUL MCKENZIE COLUMNIST The story of this semester at our University has not been the first title since 1992 for our football team. It should have been, but it has not. No, the story of the school year so far has been the elimination of at least 30 faculty positions. I have read much of the coverage but I am ashamed that I have been mute on the topic so far. Around this time three years ago, I was invited to three luncheons at Firelands to meet the candidates for President of the University. It was one of the perks of being vice president of the student body and I was honored to be there. Out of the three candidates, I was most impressed with Mary Ellen Mazey. I was thrilled my pick for the job actually got it. I believe she was the best pick for our University. As a graduate student in Public Administration, I have had the pleasure of being taught by David Jackson, the president of Faculty Association. I also believe that the faculty could not have a better, more dedicated
union head. He fought beyond hard, along with so many of his professors, to get the faculty union into the University and I believe our University is better for it. I truly do believe in an ideal world, Mazey would not cut positions. I believe that she would probably want more professors, considering she was one for years. I would say that Jackson would also like to see more professors too. Why are they now enemies? Obviously, faculty and administration are always going to be at odds; that is the way it is. But let us look deeper at who the real villain is. If you know me, you know the answer: the Ohio Republican Party. We have had a Republ ica n gover nor ever y year, save four since January 1991. The leg islature has been Republican almost all of those years as well. Since 1994, the way Ohio funds K-12 education has been unconstitutional with no solution in sight. Law demands a balanced budget and the Supreme Court’s ruling dictates at least halfway decent funding for Ohio K-12 education. On top of this, Ohio Republicans have lowered the state

income tax, giving our richest citizens a huge surplus of money they don’t need. Who has borne the br unt reorga nizat ion of funding in our state? Public universities. As our aid to our public colleges has not kept up with inf lation, colleges are left scrambling to balance their budgets. Huge tuition decreases had been the solution for a while; but the law of diminishing returns kicked in on that practice. So what is left to do? The answer is to cut, cut and cut more. That is the reality Mazey is left with. The point is as long as we elect politicians in this state who couldn’t care less about funding our public universities, this painful process will only repeat ceaselessly. It is time we wake up and see that Republican rule has been an abject disaster for every part of our state, including our public universities. As long the conservative cabal remains in power, bad news for us and other public universities will follow. God help Mazey, Jackson and us all if they keep running our state.

ECHARD, PHOTO EDITOR AMBER PETKOSEK, SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR
AUTUMN KUNKEL COLUMNIST
A new fashion trend is in the works for all the ladies out there. The anticipated garments I’m referring to are, of course, the notoriously famous “antirape underwear,” deemed to be “wearable protection for when things go wrong” by their creator, AR Wear. The intended goal of the company is to create not only underwear, but a number of clothing items that “can be worn comfortably while still being able to frustrate an assault effectively.” The items in question are still being designed, but the company hopes to have the first prototype of the anti-rape underwear ready by July 2014. Despite a number of dissenting voices refuting the idea that the issue of sexual assault can be solved with such items, the company ardently holds to its stance that they’re doing women and girls all over the world a service with their “revolutionary” invention. Ironically, it’s the very creation of such clothing that in and of itself promotes rape culture, the real source of the sexual violence that’s supposedly being combated. First, it’s important to note that the company has good
intentions behind its invention. The original makers of the product genuinely believe that these garments will create a much safer world for females in general, claiming that they want women and girls everywhere to have “more power to control the outcome of a sexual assault.” That being said, good intentions do not always lead to good consequences and I’m afraid this rings all too true in this particular situation. As mentioned above, the very act of creating these clothing items in and of itself is a promotion of rape culture. For those who are unaware, rape culture is an environment in which sexual violence is prominent and where this phenomenon is excused or tolerated. Rape culture can be enforced in a number of ways, whether it be through the media or even the use of language. One major indication of rape culture is the act of teaching women to not get raped instead of taking steps to change the culture that condones it, which is where the production of these fine items comes into play. The company claims to understand that only rapists should be blamed for rape, but if this were the case, why create these garments in the first place? Creating these clothing items in the hopes that women will wear them and
prevent their own sexual assault is not only idiotic, but detrimental. It sends the resounding message that women have an obligation to not get raped and that, if they do get raped, it’s their fault. On top of that, most victims of sexual assault know and trust their perpetrators, so it’s highly unlikely that such items will aid in the fight against sexual violence in the first place, as the garments are specifically designed for “situations that cause feelings of apprehension.” So what happens if a woman does get raped? Will she be further blamed for not wearing a pair of these magnificent rape shields? The message that this well-intentioned company sends about women and rape is highly disturbing. Creating clothing items in the hopes that they will prevent rape doesn’t solve the deeply ingrained issue of sexual assault in society; rather, it proposes a temporary “fix.” If we are to combat sexual violence, we need to go to the root of the problem; that is, we need to push for an end to rape culture and its perpetrators. Offering these sad attempts at the protection of females is not only fruitless, but counterproductive, as these attempts send a message that essentially condones the culture on the whole.

brief City tows 46 vehicles, cites 29 during snow emergency During the city-wide snow emergency this past weekend, 46 vehicles were towed and 29 citations were written, according to Mayor Richard Edwards at Monday night’s city council meeting. “As hard as we try to get the word out, I’m not sure if people can read or try not to read the signs,” Edwards said, regarding the snow emergency signs throughout the city, which initiate a parking ban. The difference between people receiving a parking citation or getting towed is that “someone came out before the two trucks got out there,” said Carol Doyle, dispatcher for the Bowling Green Police Division. The parking ticket police issues is $20, Doyle said. Municipal Administrator John Fawcett declared the snow emergency at 2 p.m. on Saturday, banning vehicles from parking on certain streets when snow exceeds two inches. The ban ended at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. Since Dec. 8, Public Works snow plow crews clocked in 459 hours of over time to clear the roads, costing the city roughly $16,000, said Brian Craft, director of the Public Works Department. “It was a big weekend for city workers trying to clear the streets for residents,” Edwards said, commending Public Works for its service.
The Rec Center renovations have been going on since the summer.

New Recreation Center entrance to be completed by January; final renovations to be completed by fall 2014

The Student Recreation Center is still in the process of being renovated, but things should be falling into place by January. The University plans to have the Rec Center renovations completed by next fall. “Ideally, we would have it done by the time stu-
dents come back for the first day of classes,” said Steve Kampf, Director of Recreation Wellness. The renovation of the Rec Center began in August of this semester. “We are four months into the renovation now,” Kampf said. The $13.4 million renovation began in fall 2011 and will include $600,000
worth of new equipment. About 75 percent of the current equipment will be replaced. “We’re t r y ing to update everything from new weights and cardio machines,” Kampf said, “These are things that students asked for.” There has been a lot of work with demolition. “The entire inside has

being set up right now,” Kampf said. “You can’t see much over the fence but you can get a peek of what’s going on.” The front entrance should take shape by January, Kampf said. The construction hasn’t had much of an effect on

For freshman Kenji Bungo, getting involved on campus has been one thing that has made him want to stay at the University for spring semester. Though he said he mostly focuses on studying, he has made some ties to campus that made him come to this decision. “I recently joined WarmUp BG, a non-profit crocheting group that my girlfriend has been really involved with [too],” he said. Academic, campus organizations and activities
are some of the main reasons why students decide to come back to school, which also helps the University with retention. Joseph Frizado, vice president of academic operations, said retention during freshman year is key because students who stick through their first year are more invested and likely to graduate from the University. In between semesters, freshman that decide not to come back to University usually don’t because they did not “feel like they were a part of the

Former Falcon Chris Jones discusses his time in the NFL and how his time at the New England Patriots has been
By Alex Krempasky Sports Editor
While the BG football team was building its season to win the 2013 Mid-American Conference, former BG defensive lineman Chris Jones was working diligently to build his career in the National Football League. Jones built a strong resume during his time at BG, amounting 157 tackles, 46 of which were for a loss and 28 sacks. Of his 28 sacks, 12.5 of those came during his senior year in 2012, in which he led the Falcons to the Military Bowl in Washington, D.C., marking the first bowl game for BG since 2009. In 2012, Jones was named the MAC defensive player of the year and to the All-MAC team for the thirdconsecutive season. His draft stock rose when he led the nation in sacks for multiple weeks and finished No. 9 in the country and two sacks behind the national leader, the University of Georgia’s linebacker, Jarvis Jones, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round. NFL scouts had good things to say
about Jones following his tryout at the NFL combine, but there were some doubts concerning the competition he faced in the MAC. Despite the questions, Jones was selected 198th overall in the sixth round by the Houston Texans. Jones spent the entire offseason with the Texans, but was released at the end of the preseason. The following day, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked Jones up but didn’t play in the team’s season opener against the New York Jets on Sep. 8. He was released by the Buccaneers and claimed off waivers by the Patriots. After joining and being released by two teams, Jones found a spot on the New England Patriots defensive line. Jones played in his first NFL game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 29 and made his first tackle as a professional football player. “I went out to stretch, I looked at it all and just took it all in,” Jones said. “You dream of it as a little kid, especially after going through college, and then it finally came true at that point.
The following week, the Patriots traveled to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. Jones made two tackles including sacking Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton 1.5 times. With the help of a good outing in Cincinnati and injuries to other players, Jones filled a starting spot on the defensive line on Oct. 13 against the New Orleans Saints. He has started on the defensive line every game since the Saints game. “I got kind of worried after bouncing around and things might not work out,” Jones said. “I just kept my head down and kept rolling, and eventually, two games later, I was starting.” Jones has been one of the most dominant defensive rookies in the NFL this season. He currently is tied for No. 2 in the NFL for sacks by a rookie this season with five. He shares the spot with the Cleveland Browns’ linebacker Barkevious Mingo and they trail the Detroit Lions’ Ezekiel Ansah, who has seven on the season. Jones has improved his game since getting into the NFL this season and he said the biggest difference is the preparation.
“There’s a lot more that goes into the physicalness and preparation in the NFL,” Jones said. “Everybody here is top notch. Nobody really makes a mistake is what I tell everybody. You got to make sure you’re mentally prepared not to make a mistake and physically prepared to be able to push people around.” He added that he prepares himself mentally by studying the other team through hours of film and he takes better care of his body after workouts and practice to allow him to recover quicker for each game and practice. He said that he uses a leg compressor machine and gets massages three to four times a week to help keep his body recover for each game and practice. Jones has been fortunate to find a spot on arguably one of the most successful professional sports organizations in the past decade, who is led by one of the football’s most known coach, Bill Belichick. “Coach Belichick has developed a great system here,” Jones said. “Ever since I was a little kid [I’ve been] watching him coach. Something
people don’t really get to see is that he is very engaging at coaching. He is a great individual coach as well.” Jones compared Belichick and former BG head coach Dave Clawson. “Coach Clawson tries to help every one out,” Jones said. “I think coach Belichek [is the same] in that way.” Despite the distance, Jones has followed the BG football team this season and is proud of its success. “I’m glad for everyone there,” Jones said. “I’m very proud of BG as a whole.” Jones said the best thing about playing in the NFL is the fact that he was given the opportunity to do so. “I made it to the highest level there is in football,” Jones said. “There’s times I look back over my life and see where God has brought me, and I realize that I am very blessed to be where I’m at.” Following their 24-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday, Chris Jones and the 10-4 New England Patriots continue to look to clinch a divisional title and playoff birth this Sunday when they take on the Baltimore Ravens.
Jamaal Charles and Lacy lead running backs in week 14 By Brett Creamer Reporter
With the National Football League winding down to the last three weeks of the season, it is imperative for players to step up for not only their team, but also their fantasy owners. In Week 15 there were multiple players that stepped up to the task and excelled in their play this weekend. Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles really set the tone for standout players in Week 15. Charles accumulated five total touchdowns, four that came on passes from Alex Smith. Smith also had an exceptional day throwing for 287 yards and five touchdowns, while throwing only three incompletions. The Chiefs are
now 11-3, and clinched a playoff birth with a win this past weekend against the Oakland Raiders. Rookie standout Eddie Lacy had another big game for the Green Bay Packers, including the game-winning touchdown this weekend against the Dallas Cowboys. Lacy and the Packers rallied from a 23 point second half deficit to close creep up within a half game to the Lions and Bears in the NFC North division. Lacy had 141 yards on 21 carries, which gave him 1,028 yards on the season. It looks like Lacy took the nagging serious when analysts said he was over weight and slow coming into the season. The Alabama alumnus is playing with a strong physical running style,
which enables him to get yards after the first initial contact this season. Another player that caught my eye this weekend was Matt Asiata, a second year running back out of the University of Utah. Asiata had 26 career touchdowns at Utah, and was itching to earn a start in the NFL. This weekend he got his opportunity due to the injuries of Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart. Asiata made the most out of his first career start, rushing for three touchdowns and 51 yards. Asiata wasn’t outrunning Eagles defenders, he was just determined. Asiata had just 3 carries prior to Sunday’s game. The undrafted free agent made the most out of his first real opportunity in the NFL.

PINKBERRY’S CURRENT location is at the Carillon. It will be moved next fall to the Sweet Shoppe. A food-cuisine Outtakes or carmel apple shoppe will replace Pinkberry at Carillon.

STEVEN W. ECHARD | THE BG NEWS
THE SWEET Shoppe, located in the Oaks, will be sharing its current location with Pinkberry next fall. Since the frozen yogurt shop is moving, it will be open all year around so customers can come from the city to get Pinkberry.
DINING From Page 1 “We will either have caramel apples or a food cuisine outtake like the Nest,” he said. Senior Ben Hofecker said he thinks moving Pinkberry’s location is a “good move.” “It [will be] closer to my apartment, so now I’ll be able to go more,” Hofecker said. While Hofecker is excited about this move, he was upset about Founders dining hall closing this past year. “I miss chicken bowls,” he said. Paulus said there are no plans to make that into
MARIJUANA From Page 1 than people think about. In regards to a recent robbery involving three University students, Hetrick said they were looking for two things: money and marijuana. “The issues are the same with any drug that causes a euphoric feeling,” he said. Once something is a state approved referendum, it applies to all towns and cities within that state, said Second Ward Council Member John Zanfardino. He said that he doesn’t “expect BG to respond” with any other ordinances if the law is passed.
“Our main goal for spring semester is dedicated to figuring out how to keep the students over in Kreischer and Harshman happy with the food ...”
any type of dining hall again. The honors college staff offices are now located in that area. “It was open, so we took the spot and turned it into a place for honor students to lounge and study,” said Sarah Waters, director of residence life. Classes will begin in Founder’s basement next semester, Waters said. Senior Allison Hines, who is in the honors program, said she wishes it was available for her when she lived in Founders her sophomore year. “I am still able to use it this year, but would have been nice to walk down stairs and ask my professors a question,” Hines said. She said she thinks it is
a great place for it because of the location. “It’s around the middle of campus and you can live upstairs,” Hines said. Even though she wish-
Zanfardino said that the bill would set up a mechanism to dispense the drug. “If it were to pass, it would probably just play out like it has in other states,” he said. Zanfardino said that cities could pass corresponding laws to regulate marijuana use in their area. Multiple news sources have reported on the changes that Michigan has gone through since 2008 in regards to the drugs laws. Looking at other states it is reasonable to assume that even if passed, the details involved with medical marijuana’s legalization will be a process. Hetrick said that one effect of legalized marijuana in Michigan that he has already
seen is “higher-grade” marijuana being trafficked in Ohio. Freshman Molly Closson said she represents a unique position in what can be a heated debate as she is “indifferent” to whether or not marijuana use becomes legal. “I do feel like if it gets passed [and becomes legal] it almost gives people more reason to use it,” Closson said. Even though the medical marijuana issue is important for some advocacy groups, many students like Closson don’t care about it because they think marijuana is not a serious drug. “I’ve never really thought too into it,” she said. “It’s not important to me.”

es it was available for her to use when she lived on campus, she was pleased having a dining hall right below her. “I never needed to leave my [residence hall], and I think every student would agree how nice that can be,” she said. “If it’s cold outside or hot outside and you don’t want to go anywhere, you stick with what they offering that day for lunch or dinner.” Regardless of Founder’s dining hall no longer existing, students still have places to dine. “We are trying to move everything around [based off of traffic] in an easy way that doesn’t disrupt people and still makes them happy,” Paulus said.
[sexual education] in Wood County than the rest of the state because it is lower than the national average,” Batey said. “Striving for a lower number is difficult. There is already [an expected] threshold, but with the right sex education explaining the risks of multiple sex partners, there is potential for it to lower.” Sex is taught for teenagers to know all of the possible outcomes of their sexual actions. Many schools offer sex education programs to their students to keep them informed. Karen Guzzo, assistant professor of sociology at the University, believes that sex is not the problem. Even though sex is everywhere in today’s culture, culture is not to blame, she said. It is not the fact that kids are having sex; it is if they are doing it in a safe and responsible way that matters, Guzzo said. “I don’t t hink t hat teenagers having sex is not necessarily a bad thing as long as they understand t he risk,” Guzzo said. “They’re taking responsibility for it, and they’re having it in committed relationships without being under the inf luence of drugs and alcohol.” She said those aspects of sexual relations are more important than the kids having sex at all. There is a big age gap from freshman year of high school to senior year. The age range from high school students is 14 to 18 years old.
Keeping that in mind, four or more sexual partners does not seem like that many considering how many relationships a student may be in, Guzzo said. “I think that teenagers that have already lost their virginity think less about having more partners,” Guzzo said. “Once you’ve already done it, you can’t be less of a virgin.” According to Guzzo, 75 percent of people have sex by age 20. “Ten percent seems high, but if the average person has sex at age 16 or 17, that’s still three or four more years before they age out of being a teenager,” she said. Freshma n A ndrew Salvagni is not surprised that students are engaging in sexual experiences earlier in age. “I don’t put the blame on anything specific because with shows like “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom,” it seems like sex is being glorified in a way,” Salvagni said. He said he is aware students will be sexually active at one point or another and the fact that the average in Wood County is lower that is somewhat of a good thing. “My little brother is going to be in high school soon and it is weird to think that he is going to be sexually active,” Salvagni said. Salvagni said he hopes students are responsible and aware of what they are actually doing. “I just hope that the kids realize the risks there are of being sexually active and that even though they think they might be ready, they may not be,” Salvagni said.

History instructor assigns creation of rap videos for class

Idea from YouTube became project; students have historical figures battle
Rap battles are usually something seen on YouTube, but this semester, 35 students got to observe them in class. Instructor Joe Faykosh thought of a way to use rap in his class one day when he was driving. “I was really interested in ways to do something a little more interactive and really emphasize the idea of comparing individuals in history that don’t always go together,” Faykosh said. He got the idea from “Epic Rap Battles of History” on YouTube and decided to make it into a project for his class. Junior Alexis Gedeon rapped a battle between Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford for the Modern America history class. “If you’re given the opportunity in college to do something fun ... I think you should take hold of that opportunity,” Gedeon said. The assignment scared some students, Faykosh said. Three students decided to rap and others incorporated music into powerpoints. The idea struck Faykosh when he was driving one day, trying to come up with a different, fun assignment. He had been watching “Epic Rap Battles of History” videos on
REC From Page 5 the amount of students who go to the rec on a regular basis. “You know, we thought there would be a huge drop off,” Kampf said. “But in reality there’s really only been a 3 to 5 percent decrease in students who use the Rec center.” A decrease in participation has been seen in other areas of rec. “The number of participants in the pool has dropped off a lot,” Kampf said, “It’s difficult to get into, its not as easily accessible as other parts of the Rec Center.” The main weight area of the Rec has not had much
“We want students to critically think but we want students to not despise the assignment.” Andrew Van Camp | Instructor YouTube, and decided to use the idea in class. “I was really interested in ways to do something a little more interactive and really emphasize the idea of comparing individuals in history that don’t always go together,” Faykosh said. Gedeon did a rap battle video between Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford because she is interested in how females are perceived and body image. “[I’m interested in] how the idea of beauty has changed over time,” Gedeon said. “Both of them are very much for natural beauty, which I like.” Gedeon, an AYA Social Studies Education major, said she would recommend the assignment and learned from it. “It’s nice having the option. In education you learn everyone completes tasks in a different way and giving students an option of how they want to complete assignments is really nice,” Gedeon said. Gedeon had no rap experience, but said “it was fun because it was something

Some students say that the renovations are a slight interference. “I go to the Rec four times a week,” senior Marlin Pickens said. “Because of the renovations there is only one court open for basketball.” Senior Brionna Powell said she agrees that the renovations interfere
I’d never done before.” “It was just something new,” Gedeon said. “It was just a creative thing, so it was fun.” Graduate Instructor Andrew Van Camp heard about Faykosh’s assignment and watched one of the student’s raps. “I wasn’t sure at first, but hearing one of the student’s raps ... I was impressed with the work they put in,” Van Camp said. “We want students to critically think but we want students to not despise the assignment.” The assignment may benefit students later in life as well, he said. “Speaking is going to be a big part of your academic and professional career wherever you go, so that’s an exercise that would help with that,” Van Camp said. “It’s good to get out of your comfort zone and push yourself.” History gets a “bad rap” in education for being boring, Gedeon said. “Things like Joe has done this semester has really helped make history more creative and make students want to learn,” she said. Different approaches to assignments are important, Faykosh said. “You gotta find ways to keep history students interested,” he said. “I think we’re going to hopefully reinvigorate how we teach and how we reach to students.”
with her working out at the Rec Center. “I used to use the Rec often,” Powell said. “But not recently since the renovations have happened because it’s a bit inconvenience and the set up inside is constricting.” Other students are excited to see how the Rec Center will look once it is completed. “I try to attend the rec at least twice a week,” sophomore Mariah Mayes said. “I can’t wait to see it and how different it will look when it is finished.” Rec Center faculty and student employees look forward to seeing the finished product. “We’re very excited, but we know we have to be patient,” Kampf said.

RETENTION From Page 5
community.” He said that the University’s official retention rates are calculated from fall to fall, but fall to spring rates can be an indicator of success for the whole year. Normally a fall to spring retention rate of about 90 percent will mean a rate of about 70 percent for the entire academic year. If between semester rates are high then between year rates will also be high. This is because the more a student is into their career at the University, the more of an effort they will make to come back. Official numbers for this semester’s retention won’t be available until 15 days after the start of spring classes. Frizado said retention rates look good for the University right now and for the whole school year. “We track the first time freshman come into the door and the fall to spring retention rate gives us an idea of what fall to fall retention will be like,” he said. Alex Solis, president of the Undergraduate Student Government, said that he has seen changes in his time at the University that should aid in retention. “When I was a freshman at Kriescher, you could not connect to the Internet,” he said. “Now there’s Wi-Fi throughout the entire campus.” Solis said improvements in and outside of the class-

“Higher retention rates means more students, more classes, more income for the University ...” Joseph Frizado | Vice President room are a priority for the University. He said that things like a good opening weekend, UAO concert or athletic program are important to retention. “Most importantly for the 7,000 students who call this place home, you need a good [Residence] Life experience,” he said. Frizado said that it is hard to pinpoint just one reason that students decide to drop mid-year. It could be because of family or financial situations, academic problems, personal problems or a combination of more than one thing. Solis said that every meeting the University holds is about retention because it is connected to so many factors. Retention is key because more students go hand in hand with a stronger and ultimately richer University, Frizado said. Overall, the University is trying to appeal to the student body in order for a higher retention rate. “Higher retention rates means more students, more classes, more income for the University, and more support from the state,” he said.
