Of Mice and Men members placed on probation
By Abby Welsh Pulse Editor
The lead singer and drum technician of the post hardcore band Of Mice & Men received a $200 fine and a year of probation at their preliminary hearing Monday morning following their charges of felonious assault. Austin Carlile and Loniel Robinson II were arrested for assault in Bowling Green following a fight at 2:50 a.m. on March 30 outside of One 49 North. The band Austin performed at Cla-Zel earlier that night. The two were Carlile in the Wood County Justice Center before Lead Singer lodged being released the following Monday on April 1. The band was unable to play its Detroit and Grand Rapids, Mich., shows that weekend with A Day To Remember, but was able to play its Cleveland show on April 1. Carlile and Robinson plead no contest to the first degree misdemeanor charge and the prosecution recommended the penalties along paying restitution to the victim for his medical bills, which they are still waiting to receive. Tom Matuszak, assistant county prosecutor, said he didn’t pursue jail time because the “case didn’t warrant it.” Both Carlile and Robinson declined to comment. Of Mice & Men is scheduled to perform its next show Tuesday in Nashville, Tenn., with A Day To Remember and Issues.

Some students can’t wait to hear their name at the University’s commencement ceremony, but for senior Tiffany Smith, graduating means more than that. Smith, president of Black Student Union, hosted a separate commencement ceremony in collaboration with the National Pan-Hellenic Council Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Union ballroom. The event allows members of both organizations to celebrate on a more personal level. It was BSU’s sixth ceremony, Smith said. “This is a community-wide event that we encourage people to be apart of,” she said. “We basically want to celebrate with those who we spent the last four years with who really got to know our weaknesses and achievements, personally and academically.” To be a part of the celebration, Smith said registration forms were in campus update, where people may fill them out in order to join. “If you feel connected to this mini-community and you identify yourself with this community, we want you to be a part of the ceremony,” she said. BSU and NPHC decided to have a ceremony aside from the University’s ceremony because it can recognize achievements the African-American community has done. “This is something we all have been working on very hard to make sure this ceremony is a success,” said John Anderson, junior and president of NPHC.

Students can expect the Student Recreation Center to be open this summer with a few minor changes before the bigger renovations begin at the end of August. Steve Kampf, director of the Recreation and Wellness Center, said parts of the Rec will remain open this summer during the start of the renovation process. Starting Aug. 12, construction will begin in some parts of the Rec. “There is going to be close to $650,000 in new equipment,” Kampf said. “We will have parts of the building open in August. Up until then, the
entire building will be available.” This summer, the track will remain open and the weight lifting equipment will be moved to two of the four basketball courts. Cooper Pool, the University’s Olympic sized pool, will be open throughout the renovation process. Sophomore Jessica Bartels said she uses the Rec three times a week and has encountered problems such as faulty equipment. She said she can see how the available areas might cause an overcrowding problem in the summer. “It needs to be modernized more and have new machines,” Bartels said. Thad Long, associate director of the Recreational and Wellness facilities, said the Rec’s officials had a meeting

last week with the project’s director, contractor and architect to plan the renovation process. “The areas we have expected to have open will be the track, the four basketball courts, our Olympic sized pool and the office next to the pool,” Long said. “Over the course of the next few weeks we will determine what classes, such as exercise education and Zumba classes, will be open. We will be placing a large number of those pieces to be placed on the basketball court, such as weight and exercise equipment.” During the upcoming fall semester, parts of the Rec will be closed and the majority of the facility will be closed

SUICIDE From Page 1 and Prevention. Siegel helped her friend, but some people may not know what to do in a similar situation. “We don’t talk about [suicide] much, and when we do we don’t know how to,” said Lisa Hanasono, associate professor of communication. There are some warning signs of suicide students can look out for, Hanasono said. Preoccupation with death and hopelessness could be warning signs of suicide, she said. Sometimes it’s a cry for help, but other times it’s more and the person may have a plan, she said. Siegel said she noticed a feeling of hopelessness in her friend. “He said he’d been depressed, that he had no reason to live, that no one cared about him,” Siegel said. Siegel’s friend expressed his feelings to her on the phone, but some people may express these feelings through social media. Posting a status or sending a tweet may be a way for a per-
SP RI NG
son having these thoughts “to cope and feel like they’re not alone and not saying it to just one person,” Hanasono said. “There’s the potential to get messages of support and advice,” Hanasono said. It may be hard to tell if the thoughts and feelings expressed through social media are genuine. “When you see someone posting things like that you don’t know if they may actually be serious,” said Montana Miller, associate professor of popular culture. “You can’t really draw conclusions.” If students see a post that may suggest suicide or depression, Miller suggested students respond by sending the person a private message letting the person know they care. While warning signs helped Siegel identify that her friend was contemplating suicide, Craig Vickio, a clinical psychologist at the University Counseling Center, said seeing warning signs doesn’t always mean there’s a problem. “If you’re unsure of a problem, air on the side of caution and take action to respond,” Vickio said. One way to respond is to
approach the person, Vickio said. “Be honest about your concerns and avoid jumping to conclusions about what their behavior suggests, avoid labeling,” Vickio said. “It’s better to point out specific observable behavior.” Some people may think that asking someone if they are planning to die by suicide may plant the idea in the person’s head, but Vickio said this is a myth. “It’s good to come right out and ask if there’s any question at all about their safety,” Vickio said. Siegel did this with her friend, and then asked if he had a plan to die by suicide, the things he needed to do it and where he was. Siegel was also willing to just listen, she said. “All that day we had constant contact,” she said. “I tried to make him understand that no matter what he told me, I wasn’t going to judge him. Everybody’s life is different.” Vickio said it’s important to listen to the person. “Sometimes we think helping means an answer,” Vickio said. “[The person] really needs someone who really cares and

Anderson said he was excited to see the final turn out. The night consisted of an opening speech from President Mary Ellen Mazey, dinner for family and friends, awards recognizing academic achievements, singing and dancing, special graduate student guests and a closing keynote, Smith said. Senior Kaila Johnson participated in the ceremony receiving a certificate for her accomplishments at the University from BSU and NPHC. “Overall, I believe it was a great experience to celebrate with people I trust and love,” Johnson said. “I think it definitely shows how community comes together.” Johnson said she thinks

during the spring semester, Kampf said. Sophomore Zachary Kocanda said he can see how the renovations could be an issue with athletes and their training, but doesn’t think the changes will effect him personally. “I go there for racquetball or the track,” Kocanda said. “I don’t go there a lot to begin with, but I would be more inclined to check it out [after the renovations].” Rec officials will begin to finalize the renovation schedule next week, but the process will be a few weeks in the making, Long said. Within the upcoming weeks, Rec officials will release more information about the renovations. “The next few weeks are to going to be used to determine and meet the needs of as many people as possible,” Long said. “We will be meeting with our staff next week to see all of the available scenarios and options. We have to really go through all of the programming, staffing and ramifications about the place.”
more people should be involved in them. “If organizations feel like it is necessary to put these on, I think it would make them feel more connected,” Johnson said, “I think these type of ceremonies bring good to so many students.” Both Smith and Anderson are not aware of other organizations hosting separate commencement celebrations from the University’s, but hope to see this happen more in the future. “I think the University’s commencement ceremony is great because it is with everyone from your class, but since there are thousands graduating, not everyone knows them on a personal level,” Smith said. “These separate ceremonies give people the chance to celebrate with a close-knit community aside from that.”

is taking time to listen.” Lara Martin Lengel, a professor in the department of communication, said it’s important to “explicitly indicate to that person that you will provide support at any time of the day or night.” “Let people know they’re not alone in feeling as badly as they do,” Lengel said. Siegel listened, gathered information and then called the police department for the town he was located in. Calling the police wasn’t an easy decision, and it was something Siegel struggled with. Some students may find it hard to call the police or take other action because of the fear that the friend they are trying to help will be upset with them for it. Siegel’s friend was upset and angry with her at first, but he realized later that she was trying to help him. “He straight up told me that I saved his life that day,” she said. “At the end of the day I had to realize that I would rather him hate me and get the help he needed to live another day. I would rather him live than know he died and I did nothing to help him.”

Self-diagnosis GRADUATION DAY explains difficulties PHILLIP MARTIN COLUMNIST
I received a possible answer to my lifelong social difficulties, which gave me some peace speaking with a friend back in February. Although I was not clinically diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, I humbly accepted that I may possibly have the disorder. I’m not afraid if I have Asperger’s and it’s a part of me, I’m fine with it, I told my friend as he spoke about some general symptoms I have fulfilled. Comforting me with some hope, my friend told me that people who have Asperger’s can still lead a successful life. To paraphrase, he said God can still use patients’ personalities to serve and edify the Church. Because I’m still learning how God can help me overcome my own social difficulties, Asperger’s weighs on my heart. Therefore, I want to raise general awareness of the disorder. Before I describe general background on Asperger’s, I want to make one thing clear: I do not believe any social difficulties excuse inappropriate behavior toward others. I believe, however, that acknowledging these difficulties will help people understand certain behaviors that seem difficult to tolerate. Then, I believe we all can approach these difficulties in a more prepared way to correct inappropriate behaviors. Now let’s learn about Asperger’s. One important symptom is that patients struggle to interpret particular nuances in social situations. For example, patients may struggle to read body language or facial expressions of other people. Then, they may struggle to initiate or maintain conversations. Due to a lack of understanding different tones of voice, they may also misinterpret jokes as personal offensive remarks. Another instance of misreading social cues may occur with how people treat patients. For example, a patient may misinterpret a person’s kindness as flirting. Another symptom patients display is unusual facial expressions or body posture. This symptom I can relate with a lot. My facial expressions don’t always match the
emotions I’m feeling. My friends have told me I often wear a scowl or glazed, blank face. This occurs usually when I’m walking or sitting down. I might appear hurt or sad, and sometimes that is the case. Most of the time, however, I am feeling comfortable and well but slightly awkward. Other times I’m just physically tired. I guess my faces express my concentration, thought or fatigue in a unique way. Thirdly, patients may avoid eye contact with others. Then, some patients may stare awkwardly at other people. Other symptoms of Asperger’s include patients disliking changes in routine and lacking empathy for others. As these difficulties form in childhood, Asperger patients may struggle with social interactions throughout adolescence and early adulthood. In this phase of life, Asperger patients may feel too shy or intimidated to approach their peers. Although patients may strongly desire friendships and romantic relationships, they may withdraw from social interactions because of their difficulties. So, fitting in may seem frustrating, leading to anxiety or depression. Also, Asperger teens may feel left out because of their naivety to trends and fads. Interestingly, some patients may desire to avoid following the crowd, which may be a blessing. Although fitting in may be a frustrating difficulty, refusing to be like others may encourage opportunities for individuality and creativity. To find a more comprehensive list of symptoms, search WebMD or seek other medical resources. Now that I’ve shared some key symptoms of Asperger’s, I would like to offer hope. If you have some of these social difficulties, I encourage you to seek help. Seek a diagnosis. Even if you’re like me and feel you may have the disorder, surround yourself with help. Seek people who will understand where you’re at in life. Seek those who can help in the best possible way. Seek God out to help you grow through your struggles spiritually. You don’t have to keep suffering. No one should ever feel that, socially, they struggle alone.

Enjoy reading for pleasure this summer MATTHEW THACKER FORUM EDITOR
Usually for my last column of the year I try to write something poignant and thought provoking. But this semester I’ve tried to be a little calmer in my columns. So with a “call to relaxation,” this summer as opposed to my customary “call to action,” here is my list of Read-it-Again books for the summer. These are five books (or series of books) worthy of your time to read, or reread, this summer. “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck: This is one of my all-time favorites. This book follows the Joad family on their journey from Oklahoma to California during the dustbowl era of the Great Depression. Camping out in “Hoovervilles” along the way, then looking for fruit-picking jobs at any wage they could find, the Joads realize that America has changed in a fundamental way, a way they no longer recognize. Steinbeck is a brilliant writer and “Grapes” is his masterpiece. “The Green Mile” by Stephen King: I have read a lot

of King’s work, and I always seem to forget just how awesome this book is until I reread it again. First released in 1996 as a serial of short stories, “The Green Mile” tells the story of Paul Edgecomb, the head guard on Death Row at a southern prison in 1932, and how he came to know John Coffey, the inmate that would change how Edgecomb viewed the world from then on. “The Green Mile” is worth reading, anytime, because fundamentally it is just a great story. “The Hunger Games” trilogy by Suzanne Collins: “The Hunger Games” books are probably among the newest I’ve read, and also amongst the best. I’m a sucker for a good series of books that tells an arching story, and “The Hunger Games” does just that. In these books we walk through Katniss Everdeen’s futuristic world, where U.S. states are gone, replaced by districts. The 12 districts that survived the last war are forced by the Capitol to select two tributes, one male and one female, between the ages of 12-18 to compete in a “last one standing,” fight to the death, which is aired live on television to the whole country. The actual “Games” is only the beginning of the story,
as the books follow Katniss through the aftermath of having been in the “Games” and a country’s trip through rebellion. The first book was made into a movie in 2012, with the second installment due out in theaters November of this year. “The Southern Vampire Mysteries” book series aka “The Sookie Stackhouse Novels” by Charlene Harris: “The Sookie Books” are the basis for the HBO original series “True Blood,” but like most television series based on a book series, the main resemblance is only seen in the first season of the show, and the first book of the series. “The Sookie Books” follow Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress in a rural Louisiana Parish who has the gift of telepathy. Sookie can read other’s thoughts. That is interesting in and of itself, but the books are also set in a fictitious time where vampires have just “come out of the closet,” because of a new type of synthetic blood from which they can gain sustenance without having to kill people anymore. Sookie, over the course of 12 books, realizes that vampires aren’t the only mystical species that are, in fact, real. These books are a bit like junk food for the brain, but it
is summer so why not enjoy a little junk food? “The Millennium Series” trilogy aka “The Girl” series by Stieg Larsson: “The Millennium Series” rounds out my list, and is an excellent series of three books titled “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl who Played with Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.” These books follow a Swedish journalist as he is involved with three mysteries that eventually are found to all be part of the same plot. “The Millennium Series” introduces us to one of the most compelling characters that I’ve ever read about: Lisbeth Salander. Lisbeth is complex, daring and ends up defying all of the usual damsel in distress stereotypes usually seen in women in fiction. In short, she kicks butt and doesn’t care about taking names. This summer take some time for yourself, and do a little reading. Read what you want to instead of what you have to before classes start up again in the fall, and whether you take my reading suggestions or not, have a great summer everyone.

Senior Ariel Ehmer’s decision to go to graduate school was an easy one. She always knew she wanted to go. “School and academics have always been really important to me,” she said. “There’s never been a doubt in my mind that I was going to pursue higher education.” Ehmer, a history and political science double major, will be going to American University in Washington, D.C. to get her master’s degree. Graduating seniors like Ehmer may be deciding whether to attend graduate school or go into the workforce. Margaret Zoller Booth, associate dean of the graduate college, said deciding to go to graduate school is a whole different process than thinking about undergraduate school. “Most undergraduates, they think of the school,” Booth said. “At the graduate level, you’re normally thinking of the program and the profession, not the institution.”

As of Tuesday, I graduate in four days. Incredible. Even with finals week going on, the questions asked of me and assuredly of most other graduating seniors strike more fear in my eyes than any essay prompt. “What do you have planned after graduation?” Yikes. Graduation? Like, the real world? Pay checks and property taxes and morning commutes? As if I’d be hurrying through Olscamp Hall at 9:31 a.m. every morning for the rest of my life. As if I’d be forever wallowing away at the Union, where you rush to make it before they stop serving pizza by the slice. As if there were no punch in, punch out, but rather a life revolved on semesters and exam weeks. That life’s gone in four days, the last I checked my calendar, and I check it every day. Even worse: “Where do you see yourself in five years?” It’s an arbitrary date full of artificial assumptions of hopes turning into real plans and dreams turning into realities. It’s like seeing the technological differences between a phonograph and a record player and asking someone in 1970 to predict the iPod. I feel most like Roger Kahn, author of the American classic “The Boys of Summer.” He was a 24-year-old journalist (sounds familiar...) hired at an impeccably young age to cover the Brooklyn Dodgers in the early 1950s. Asked how he got the position — “How could I explain that what had gotten me aboard the Dodger plane that morning was nothing more than a succession of miracles?” How could I have known as a high school student dreaming of a life in radio broadcasting I’d soon become a print journalism major, interview a sitting U.S. Senator and cover a half a dozen presidential campaign stops? Maybe it’s best not to have a strict plan. Maybe I can just work really hard, take opportunities when they come and hope for a succession of miracles. If living in the moment unpredictably got me to where I am now, I’m content with relying on the same strategy post-graduation. Where will I be in five years? For all I know, writing baseball for a newlycreated Brooklyn team.
For example, people of certain professions would suggest students studying these areas leave school, get experience and go back to graduate school, she said. A lot of graduate work is professionally oriented, Booth said. “Lot’s of those types of professions like it if you’ve been out in the work force,” Booth said. After she gets her master’s degree, Ehmer said she will probably get professional experience before considering getting her Ph.D. “For some people, it’s better to go get a job and come back,” Booth said. This can be good because sometimes undergraduate students get a job in their profession and don’t like it, Booth said. Cameron Hubbard, a senior American Culture Studies major, is planning to teach English as a Second Language when he graduates. “I want to take a couple of years off and save money to go to graduate school,” Hubbard said. “I’d rather do field experience first.” Hubbard wants to do this because

Is it worth it? he thinks it will look better when he’s applying to get into graduate school. “I want to get teaching experience and also to travel,” he said. Some students are afraid they won’t come back to school after they’re in the “real world,” Booth said. “Very often the people who come back are more motivated in school,” Booth said. “Because of what they’ve seen in the real world.

Four years ago, the future of Division I hockey at the University was in serious doubt. Now, with a new conference and a roster full of upperclassmen, things are looking optimistic for the team that calls the BGSU Ice Arena home. The Falcons had just finished the 2008-09 season with a disappointing 12-24-3. It had been years since the Falcons posted a winning record, and the ice arena was in dire need of renovations. The University’s administration was contemplating cutting the program to save money. However, community and University support won out. The University started the “Bring Back the Glory” campaign, pledging to raise money for the hockey program. The University and state of Ohio immediately pledged a combined $4 million toward renovating the BGSU Ice Arena. That commitment to the program showed the current coaching staff — hired following the 2009-10 season — that the University was serious about ensuring the future success of the hockey team. “The two things they told me that were most important to me was that one, hockey was staying long term,” said coach Chris Bergeron. “And two, both [then-University President] Dr. [Carol] Cartwright and [then-Athletic Director] Greg Christopher felt like it was a really exciting time for someone to come in and do something special with this program.” Bergeron filled his assistant coaching positions with familiar faces: Barry Schutte, a former assistant and director of Goggin Ice Arena at Miami University, and Ty Eigner, a 1993 BG graduate who was roommates with Bergeron when they played minor league hockey in Birmingham, Ala. As a University alumnus, Eigner said discovering the potential demise of the program came as a shock. “Like a lot of alums, being back in Minnesota with a wife and kids, I wasn’t as connected to the program as maybe I should have been,” he said. “But it was really eye-opening and alarming that something we took great pride in was potentially going to go away.” However, despite the positive energy the staff brought, they faced the uphill battle of turning the program around. In 2009-10, the season before the current staff arrived on campus, the Falcons went 5-25-6. Six of the

Job outlook looks better for college students, economists say By Kendra Clark Web Editor
William Nadolski, instructor of economics, knows what it’s like to graduate with an uncertain future due to a bad economy. “I graduated at the height of the recession,” Nadolski said. “It was not easy to find a job out there. Many of my classmates thought that [a job] would be waiting for them when they got out of college, and that didn’t turn out to be the case.” However, there may be good news for students that are graduating soon. “The labor market has improved substantially since 2009,” Nadolski said. “It’s not as good as we would like it to be, but still better than before.” Lesa Shouse, assistant director of the BGSU Career Center, is also optimistic about the job market now as compared to four years ago. “There has been a definite increase from four years ago,” Shouse said.

2013 BG football schedule, past seasons records Golden Hurricane Aug. 29 11-3 (7-1) C-USA
Football schedule provides new challenges, optimism for fall
By Alex Krempasky Assistant Sports Editor
The 2013 BG football season will showcase some new and familiar faces lining up on the opposite side of the football. Three of the four out-of-conference opponents on the Falcons’ schedules will be the first meetings between the two squads. The 2013 football season starts on Thurs., Aug. 29, when the Falcons host the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane at the Doyt. Tulsa is the only non-conference opponent that BG has played before, however, this will be the first time that Tulsa will visit BG. The Falcons are 0-3 against the Golden Hurricane in the three total meetings between the two teams. The first meeting between the schools was in 1989, when the Falcons travelled to Tulsa, Okla., and were defeated 45-10. The next of the three matchups would not occur for another 19 years when the two teams were matched up in the 2008 GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala. The Falcons were defeated 63-7 in the bowl
game. The last meeting came in 2010 when the Falcons traveled to Tulsa, but were defeated 33-20. In its three meetings against Tulsa, BG has given up 141 points and scored 37. This past year, the Golden Hurricane went 11-3 including going 7-1 in conference. The Golden Hurricane went on to represent Conference USA’s West Division in the conference championship game and defeated UCF for a second time to earn an automatic birth to the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. The second out-of-conference opponent for the Falcons will be the Indiana University Hoosiers from the Big Ten. The 2012 Hoosier football team showed improvement from the 2011 season by going 4-8, compared to the 1-11 record the team earned that year. Indiana started the 2012 season with two wins against Indiana State and Massachusetts-Amherst, before dropping five-straight. The five straight losses included MAC opponents Ball State. Indiana will be the first Big Ten
Conference opponent for BG since it lost to Michigan 65-21 in 2010. Murray State Racers, who will face the Falcons on Sept. 21 and will be the last non-conference home game for BG. Murray State is a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) member and competes in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Racers went 5-6 in their 2012 campaign, which started with a 69-3 loss against Florida State. After the third week, the Racers or an opposing team scored 40 or more points in every game. The Racers defeated Tennessee Tech University 70-35, Austin Peay University 52-14, Tennessee State University 49-28 and Southeast Missouri State University 42-35. BG’s final non-conference game is against SEC member Mississippi State. The Bulldogs started the 2012 campaign with seven straight wins. Mississippi State scored a minimum of 27 points and let up a maximum of 31 points in those
Collins coming out as gay hopefully allows more athletes to be comfortable in doing the same
RYAN SATKOWIAK SENIOR REPORTER
allow other gay athletes to feel comfortable about coming out as well. The outpouring of support on Twitter for Collins was heartwarming. Former President Bill Clinton, NBA players Kobe Bryant, Barron Davis and Steve Nash, to name a few, took to their social media pages to offer their support for Collins. Professional athletes saying they would support a gay teammate isn’t necessarily a new thing. For several years, the You Can Play Project has worked to ensuring equality, respect and safety for all athletes, without regard to sexual orientation. You can go to their website, YouCanPlayProject.org, and find videos of coaches and players from both colleges — like UCLA, UConn and Colorado College — and professional teams — like the Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings and DC United — voicing their support for the campaign. Regardless of these pockets of support, as well as the fact that homosexuality is more widely accepted than it was 10 years ago — Collins said he was glad that he was coming out in 2013 as opposed to 2003 — what Collins did Monday took immense courage. He conceded in his piece that he doesn’t know how he would be accepted. While he
has received great support thus far, there have been recent past instances of blind bigotry that still may hinder gay athletes from coming out — most notably, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver saying at Super Bowl media day that gay teammates, “can’t be in the locker room,” and should, “come out 10 years later after that.” Hopefully Collins coming out helps influence more closeted gay athletes to do the same. No one deserves to be persecuted because of his or her sexual orientation; no one should have to live their lives in secret. This isn’t about your views on same-sex marriage; it’s about common decency, about treating other people the way you would want them to treat you. Collins acknowledged that fans will probably heckle him, but he can deal with it because he’s, “been booed before.” But hopefully, they heckle him because he’s simply an opposing player, not because he’s a basketball player who happens to be gay and just wants to pursue his own happiness. Hopefully, this will be the start of a new age, where gay athletes are comfortable in being open about their sexuality, and where straight athletes accept them for that and see them as just another teammate.

Ryan cuts Tebow, drafts Smith ETHAN EASTERWOOD SPORTS EDITOR
Every NFL Draft has its fair share of good picks and bad picks, as well as I have no idea what I’m doing, picks. That is what I like to imagine Rex Ryan thinking during the New York Jets second round pick of Geno Smith. “Hey staff, quarterbacks are a lot like quarters, you can’t have too many.” I can only assume his conversation in the Jets war-room went like this. It’s not that Geno Smith isn’t a great quarterback, because he is,

If you woke up Monday morning not knowing who Jason Collins is, chances are you are not alone. And, if you spent any part of Monday on the Internet, chances are you now know who he is and why he will be remembered for a long time. Monday afternoon, in a brilliantly written piece for Sports Illustrated, Collins became the first active athlete in a major professional sport to come out as gay. He played for the Boston Celtics of the NBA this past season. In the piece, co-written by Franz Lidz, Collins opened his piece bluntly: “I’m a 34-yearold NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.” He went on to talk about how he often struggled with the decision to come out, how his “double life” has kept him from getting close to any of his teammates. He talked about how several times — mentioning specifically when his former college roommate, Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy, marched in Boston’s Gay Pride Parade in 2012 and the Supreme Court hearings on same-sex marriage in March — he wanted to come out, but didn’t want to draw suspicion to himself. But now, he’s free from that. He can now be himself without worrying about hiding. And hopefully, his revelation will

and it isn’t like burning an early second round pick on a high producing quarterback is a bad idea, because it isn’t. It’s just that the Jets have enough indecision at the quarterback position and an attention-starved coach is looking to make one last hurrah before likely being canned at the conclusion of this forthcoming season. Well, at least he should be. To be completely fair, he should have been already. Ryan has put an incredible amount of faith in a quarterback, who is average at best, to the same extent that Jerry Jones puts into Tony Romo — and we all know how those jokes end – with Romo on the butt end. Look, there is a prime difference between college quarterbacks and

HOCKEY From Page 5 team’s top eight scorers from that season graduated. The new staff inherited a young roster that didn’t have much college experience. Of those that did, they had not experienced winning. “It came down to ultimately increasing expectations, trying to hold everybody to a high standard,” Schutte said. “We just had to demand more from the program and individuals. I think the biggest challenge was just assessing where we were as a program.” There were small, but noticeable improvements in Bergeron’s first season as coach. The Falcons improved to 10 wins, which included a Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoff series victory against Northern

Along with that, the National Association for Colleges and Employers conduct an annual survey of job outlooks, and they stated employers will hire two percent more college graduates than they did last year. Even with this increase, Shouse thinks that things could get better. “It’s still difficult,” Shouse said. “Sometimes it’s not enough to have a degree in something secure a job.” Nadolski has seen an

As for this semester, there are 2,412 graduate students enrolled and 537 of them have a prior degree from the University. The University is also offer-
Michigan. It was the first time in CCHA history that the No. 11 seed won a first-round playoff series. “We had to change expectations, and that doesn’t happen overnight,” Bergeron said. “We’re trying to build our program based on relationships and trust, and that doesn’t happen overnight either. That was something that takes time.” Despite again finishing last in the CCHA’s regular season standings the following season, the Falcons broke out in the playoffs. They once again took out Northern Michigan and upset top-seeded Ferris State, before losing to Michigan in the CCHA semifinals. Then this past season, for the first time in Bergeron’s tenure at the University, the Falcons did not finish the
regular season in the CCHA basement. The team isn’t the only one making changes for years to come. This past season was the last for the CCHA as the Falcons will move to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, made up of old foes like Ferris State and Lake Superior alongside a host of new competition. The challenge for the Falcons will be to continue to raise their level of competition to be successful against their new foes. “The culture that we’re trying to put in place is taking a life of its own,” Schutte said. “We feel like this next year will be the first year where we’ve had the proper depth and competition at every position.” Getting to those details might be easier now than
it was three years ago. Heading into the 2013-14 season, the team finally has a roster that boasts more juniors and seniors than freshmen and sophomores. “We’ve got upperclassmen in our program now who understand what kind of commitment it takes,” Eigner said. “We want to be led by older kids who have experienced the ups-anddowns of college hockey, and the younger kids can go along and say, ‘Hey, I want to be like that guy.’” With the move to the new conference, the Falcons are prepared to take on a new set of challenges and opportunities. “The biggest challenge is going to be the [increased] travel,” Bergeron said. “But a lot of it is unknown, and that’s going to be a challenge in and of itself.”
increase in job openings, but that some careers stick out more than others and feature more opportunities for graduates. “The big winners are health care, hard science, engineering and actuarial science and statistics,” Nadolski said. “The math or hard sciences are available because they are hard to do, so there aren’t many people available in the field. The health care is increasing because the baby boomers are aging.” Justyn Shipley is senior biology major hoping to graduate this coming fall. He is looking for a job in medical technology and doesn’t think
he will have a problem finding one. “I always thought a job would be reasonable to find, but people have to be willing to travel to find it,” Shipley said. “The jobs available are growing and hospitals always need workers.” Even though Shipley is confident in his search for jobs, he has seen the effects of the recession. “I work for the city of Bowling Green,” Shipley said. “Where I work, we only have two part-time workers. Eight years ago, we had 20.” Shouse has some advice for the students heading
into the job market. “Using your networks can really make a difference,” Shouse said. “Also, alumni are available to [students] if they want to network through the school.” Nadolski agrees with Shouse about how to stand out among other graduates. “Don’t give up,” Nadolski said. “There are always jobs out there. Networking is huge, and be willing to do an internship so the company can see whether you are a good fit for them. Be creative, the company isn’t checking a list, you need to convince them that you are the best candidate out there.”
ing a new program called four plus one, where students can get an undergraduate degree at the University and then continue and get a master’s degree in one year. Ehmer decided to get her master’s degree because she thinks it will help boost her career. “I want to work for the state department in politics and in the government,” Ehmer said. She decided to go to graduate school now because she said her job opportunities
would be limited now for the work she wants to do and she’s “not totally ready to say goodbye to the college atmosphere.” Some students may think it’s better to attend a different graduate school than where they went to undergraduate, but Booth said it depends on the program. “Look where you are and then decide,” Booth said. “If [the school you’re at] has an excellent program, why go somewhere else?”

He lead USC on several occasions, including earning the Rose Bowl MVP award in 2009, but since being drafted by the Jets that year, he is most notably famous for eating hot dogs on the sidelines. Ryan repeatedly put faith in Sanchez, donning him the title of the “Sanchise,” a madeup hybrid of his last name and franchise. He was suppose to lead the Jets to greatness and he tried at least. He got the Jets to the AFC Championship game in 2009 and 2010 but earned an 8-8 record in 2011. Ryan didn’t want to eat crow quite yet, so he brought in Christian heartthrob, Tim

Drafted by the Broncos and ranked 95th in the NFL’s top 100, he was traded to the Jets in 2012. Surely, this was the cure for the ailment that was the “Sanchise” and perhaps Ryan’s career. The Jets went 6-10 this past year, and Tebow barely played. Now they draft Smith, from West Virginia, and release Tebow shortly thereafter. Ryan released Tebow, not even allowing him to compete for the backup job, let alone win it. Instead he brings in Smith, another great college quarterback that has to prove something, not only for himself, but for Ryan.
