Recruitment reforms to housing changes Greek housing renovations show no effect, positive changes By Annie Furia Copy Chief

BRINGING ART TO BOWLING GREEN

Students, natives return to Black Swamp Arts Festival Jacquii A. Tilley Reporter

Black Swamp Arts Festival has been around for 21 years and is still going strong. This year, many people from all over came to support the festival. However, a lot of returning Bowling Green natives came out to support their city as well. Andy Long, a returning native, has been coming for years and likes the art, but the music is what really brings him out. Luana Hess agreed with Long about the music, but really enjoys getting outside and listening to the music because her son is an upcoming artist. “I’ve been coming here for ten years and I like coming out to see the people and seeing the art and maybe purchase some oil

painting,” said Chad Twining, from Portage Township, OH. “I don’t really don’t know anyone performing, but I really want to see them.” Even people from when the festival first started are still returning. “I was here last year and I liked helping the kids with the art last year,” said Alicia Kokomoor. Jackie Meaz, native of Bowling Green, said, “I’ve been attending since 1997. I brought my girlfriend here to see it; she has never been.” Amina Darabie, freshman at the University, said, “I’ve been coming for about ten years and I really want to see Ode to Canvas.” In contrast, this is some people’s first time attending and they had nothing but positive comments.

As the Greek houses stood empty behind construction fencing, recruitment events for sororities and fraternities were under way these past two weekends. During recruitment, students interested in joining a sorority or fraternity meet with its current members and those members seek out which students they would like to join their chapter. For sororities, this process usually takes place at least in part inside the Greek houses. With the houses under construction, formal recruitment for sororities was moved to the Union. Panhellenic Council President Tiffany Mitchell said without the houses recruitment turned “into a blank canvas [sororities] can make their own,” so moving recruitment actually “turned into a positive.” As far as the logistics of hosting recruitment in the Union, Vice President of Recruitment for the Panhellenic Council Abby Fisher said, “It wasn’t as complicated as we expected.” Fraternities had a similar situation, hosting their recruitment events in the Education Building. However, President of the Interfraternity Council Victor Senn said not having access to the houses barely affected fraternity recruitment. “The houses actually play a very limited role in recruitment,” Senn said. He added that students in the fraternity recruitment process usually don’t visit the houses until after they’ve signed a ‘bid,’ or an official invitation to join a certain fraternity. The only major change, Senn said, were the “alternative and heightened promotion tactics,” such as having a registration table at SOAR this summer and holding more outdoor events. Senn said, “We’ve had very positive feedback from people either in the process for the first time or who have been involved in the past.” One possible negative to losing the houses could have been that it prevented students from pursuing Greek life. However, this was not the case. Fisher said the Panhellenic Council saw no

Learning commons CRLA certified in spring International certification provides tutors with credibility By Kendra Clark Campus Editor

The Universit y’s Learning Commons doesn’t need tutoring on how to excel, for this spring they received an international certification on the highest level. The College Reading and Learning A ssociat ion g ives cer t if icat ions to tutoring programs t hat pass certain qua lif icat ions. The associat ion has t hree dif ferent levels, t hree being the highest. The Learning Commons earned level one certif ication back in 2013, said Director of t he Learning Commons Mark Nelson. The Commons was certified with levels two and three in March. Tutor Coordinator Donna Dick said the certification added a lot of credibility to the librar y. “Since it’s an international certification, there are only about 700 schools all over the world that have it,” she said. “That gives our tutors credibility.” Taken into account through the cer-

tification process are the students who tutor at the Learning Commons. They can also get certified levels one through three through the Commons. “It is mandator y that the tutors get trained, but they can become certified levels one through three,” Dick said. “The first level is more general, but levels two and three are more specific.” The reason tutors might wa nt to get higher certification is because it helps in professiona l development, Nelson said. “It can help them later in life with career building and to put on their resume,” he said. “A lot of the students that do that are education majors.” Also, tutors who certif y in level one can help train other tutors, which helps with their communication and public speaking skills, he said. In order to qua lif y for each level, t here a re certa in requirements t he students must meet. This includes at

University creates seat to honor, support veterans Doyt Perry Stadium now features Prisoner of War/ Missing in Action chair By Tara Jones Sports Editor

Outside the Doyt Perry Stadium, prior to kickoff at Saturday’s BG football game, a Prisoner Of War/ Missing In Action Chair of Honor was dedicated by the University. The vacant seat symbolizes the missing military personnel from the Bowling Green community who became prisoners of war

or were declared missing in action. The chair can be found inside the stadium in Section 16. The seat is the first of five to be donated to the University. A POW/MIA Chair of Honor will also be placed in the Stroh Center and BG Ice Arena. There will also be two mobile units designated to travel to other athletic events. Retired Marine Corps Col. Ted Jenkins, a BG

alumnus, spearheaded the plan to dedicate the vacant seat in University arenas over a year ago, University President Mary Ellen Mazey said. “It was a whole committee that came together from various parts of the University … to organize the whole event,” she said. Mazey hopes the vacant seat dedication brings more visibility to BG’s ROTC program as well as recognizing

major change in registration numbers this year. “It was pretty consistent with last year— give or take a few,” Fisher said. “I don’t think [the housing] has deterred anyone,” she said. According to Senn, the Interfraternity Council actually saw an increase in students signed up for recruitment. Senn said the number of students interested in Greek life “was actually much higher than past years.” The number of students signed up for fraternity recruitment is now passed 300, he said. “If we are able to retain the 300 we have signed up right now, we will have over 700 men,” he said. He added that this would be the most students in fraternities at the University since 2006. Fisher said that moving recruitment out of the Greek houses has “had a good effect on the recruitment process so far.” Without the houses, Fisher said sororities had to focus on making

the POW/MIA. “I think it means a great deal to the University to honor our POW and MIA and all those that attended BGSU and are still missing in action,” she said. “It just means a great deal to honor those individuals because they gave their life for the country. I don’t think in today’s world you can say enough to military.”

“We’ve had very positive feedback from people either in the process for the first time or who have been involved in the past.” Victor Senn | President of IFC connections with their potential new members. This year, sororities had to “really talk about their values,” she said. “They can’t hide behind what they put in their houses.” O v er a l l, M itc hel l and Fisher agreed that recruitment is going well. “Ever yone’s rea l ly enjoying it,” Mitchell said. Fisher said that a good recr u it ment process would “put everyone at ease about not having housing” and reassure everyone that Greek life still has a strong presence on campus. Senn was equally optimistic. “People are excited to go Greek and we are excited to have them,” Senn said.

Abigail Kruse COLUMNIST

Confession time: I did not shed a tear reading or watching “The Fault in our Stars” this summer. Maybe it’s because I was prepared for the ending and I knew what was coming. I don’t know. I knew I was supposed to be sad, but I wasn’t. People call me an emotionless monster, but that’s nothing new. After all, when I was little, I usually rooted for the bad guy. I remember being actually disappointed at the end of “The Little Mermaid” when Ursula’s shell neck-

lace containing Ariel’s voice broke just before she was about to marry Prince Eric. Watching “High School Musical” I much preferred Ashley Tisdale’s go-getter Sharpay to the mousy Gabriella. Maybe that’s why I am so fascinated by works like “Wicked” and, more recently, “Once Upon a Time” that tweak what you already know. I like to know what makes the villains tick and why they are so evil. The other movie I saw this summer was “Maleficent,” and I came much closer to crying during this one. I don’t recommend reading another word unless you have seen the movie, or if you know you’ll forget or just don’t care.

I hate crying, especially in public, but my eyes welled up when Stefan tore off Maleficent’s wings while she was unconscious from the drug he gave her, and again when she discovered that her wings were gone and gave a heartrending cry. It was the saddest thing I had seen on film in a while, sadder than Hazel’s eulogy for Gus. I know, I’m an emotionless monster. But Maleficent’s pain felt more tangible to me and resonated as it was clear that the whole scene stood for rape. It might have flown over the heads of the younger kids present in the theater, but not mine and not those who I have talked with about the film.

And not even, it turns out, that of the movie’s lead actress. A few days ago I watched a clip on Hollywood TV about Angelina Jolie’s appearance at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict. Speaking about the scene in question to dignitaries from around the world, she said, “We were very conscious, the writer and I, that it was a metaphor for rape… This subject has been taboo for far too long.” I commend these filmmakers for not remaining silent any longer. It was a powerful scene in a moving film, and I highly recommend it. I also recommend bringing some tissues.

Nail polish that detects date rape drugs progressive MICHELE MATHIS COLUMNIST

I was walking through the Union when I first heard about the miracle nail polish that recognizes date rape drugs in drinks. “What the heck? What a sham,” I thought and continued walking. Upon exiting the Union, I clicked open the Facebook app installed on my phone and, upon scrolling, I saw an article that was shared about the nail polish that I had heard about a few minutes before. According to an article in the “New Zealand Herald,” a few college students from North Carolina University have developed a type of nail polish that, if stirred in a drink, will detect any hints of a date rape drug, such as gamma hydroxybutyric acid [aka “Roofies”] or ketamine

[aka “Special K.”] This nail polish has an official Facebook page where the mission of the product states, “With our nail polish any woman will be empowered to discreetly ensure her safety by simply stirring her drink with her finger….” My first instinct was to be excited. How progressive of our society to have college students, especially male college students, actively thinking about the safety of our young women out on the streets. I thought this was the break we were looking for, and I was sure that many of my girlfriends would eagerly pounce on this creative idea. I was terribly incorrect. Thousands of women came forward and said the product offended them, presenting the age-old case, “Let’s not make products to keep women scared for potential sexual assault, but teach our men not to rape.”

When I go out, I want to have a good time. I want to wear what I want and I want to flirt with whom I want, which is exactly why I personally feel this new date rape nail polish checker will give me everything I’ve ever dreamed of to feel protected and safe. Women should not have to get ready for the night by placing a coat of nail polish over their fingers. That’s annoying. I sincerely do not want to be handed a drink and stick my hands in it. Gross. But I will; not because I believe that most little boys grow up with fathers who sit them down and teach them to keep going after a woman says “no”, but because it is an influenced and learned behavior that will be a present force in our cultural society for many years to come. I am proud of the #YesAllWomen movement and I am ecstatic that there have been enormous strides towards spreading awareness of sexual assault and sexual

assault victims. But contrary to popular opinion, change does not happen overnight. Or does it? Take a step back and lay the facts out on the table. Women across the world are taking a stand on sexual assault cases and demanding that men listen to our cries. And we were heard. Four male college students heard us and they did something about it. We now have a product that can not only make women feel protected by the discreetness of it, but a product that can make us feel in control in the war of date rape drugs. I don’t know if I can speak for every woman in the world, but I’m jumping on this as soon as it hits the shelves. Watch out, boys, I’m already two steps ahead of you.

Quarterback James Knapke led the Falcons to their first victory of the season against VMI Saturday By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief

of the

Coming off a week one loss and the news of losing their starting quarterback Matt Johnson for the season, the Bowling Green football team bounced back with a blowout win against Virginia Military Institute in their home opener. The Falcons dominated on both sides of the ball in a 48-7 win against VMI. Despite the opponent, quarterback James Knapke had a solid outing in his first career start. He was 22 of 31 on the day with 237 yards one touchdown and one interception. “He was over a 66 percent completion percentage. Anytime you throw for those types of numbers, that’s a solid number especially for an opening game,” head coach Dino Babers said. Knapke had help throughout the game thanks to a running game that reached the endzone four times and had 187 of it’s final 260 yards in the first half. Travis Greene looked like the Greene of last year as it was very difficult for the VMI defense to tackle him on first contact. He finished the first half with 115 yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns. Fred Coppet also chipped in with 54 yards on five carries and a touchdown in the first half. “We have a great bunch of running backs,” Knapke said. “They came out early and set the pace for the offense.” For a defense who struggled in week one, they came out and set the tone early even with the early injury to senior linebacker D.J. Lynch. Lynch left the game after an injury during second drive and did not return to the game but was on the bench. The defense did not seem to miss a beat though, as they finished the first half giving up only seven points and holding a 34-7 lead. “It’s never good to see a guy like D.J. go down,” linebacker Paul Senn said. “I hope everything

Women’s soccer claims first victory Falcons defeat Chicago State 8-0 on the road, win first game of season By Tobias Flemming Reporter

The two-year winless streak for the BG women’s soccer team has come to an end. In a 8-0 win over the Chicago State Cougars the young Falcon team was able to bring home its first regular season victory. After what has been called a tough week for the Falcons by head coach Lindsay Basalyga, BG was able to take the next step in its rebuilding process of the women’s soccer program. “This win has been a long time coming and I’m happy that the players can finally feel the reward for their hard work and discipline,” she said. Against the Cougars, who are having the inaugural season for their women’s soccer program, the Falcons scored four goals in each half. BG goalkeeper Lauren Cadel called Sunday’s win a turning point but she also said the team can’t lose focus now on its process as the season progresses. The Falcons had their first shutout of the season and Cadel said she wouldn’t have been able to do it without her defensive line. BG senior Sidney Huth said the offensive effort against the Cougars was very dynamic and

“This win has been a long time coming and I’m happy that the players can finally feel the reward...” Lindsay Basalyga | Head Coach it felt great to have finally been able to score a lot of goals. “We have been through a lot as a team and we all just wanted it real bad,” she said. The Falcons have now scored 10 goals during the first five games of the season, which is already one more goal than during the entire 2013 season. “We scored some great goals tonight and the defense walked away with a shutout,” Basalyga said. “We will enjoy this win a bit longer than normal and will definitely come into training on Tuesday with a stronger sense of belief.” The weekend started out with a home game for the Falcons at Cochrane Stadium against the Cleveland State Vikings. Soccer games are generally over after 90 minutes of play, yet on Friday night the final whistle was blown with 58 seconds still on the clock due to severe light-

ning. Up to that point BG was down 2-1 against the Vikings. BG head coach Lindsay Basalyga said Friday’s performance were the best 89 minutes of soccer from her team to date. “I’m so proud of the level that the players chose to play at tonight,” Basalyga said. “We had a few moments where we switched off and unfortunately in our process and where we are in our process we can’t switch off because we can’t rely on coming back. And that is what I told the team.” Falcon freshman forward Skylar Fleak scored the leading goal after 28 minutes with a beautiful 23-yard shot going over the Vikings goalkeepers’ head into the back of the net. The Falcons’ lead only lasted three minutes when Vikings player Sarah Kaiser took a shot from the left side of the box tying the game 1-1. BG came out in the second half looking to find a way to score and take the lead again. In the 65th minute however, Chloe Fadenholz found her way trough the Falcons defense scoring the 2-1 lead for Cleveland State. “We have to stay switched on for 90 minutes until we have a

Falcons split weekend series at Duquesne Invitational

Men’s soccer team defeats Niagara, drops match to Duquesne as underclassmen shine By Brandon Shrider Assistant Sports Editor

After beginning the season 2-0, the BG men’s soccer team split their weekend series 1-1 during the Duquesne Invitational in Pittsburgh. The Falcons looked unbeatable again on Friday as they went on to defeat Niagara University 4-0 pushing their undefeated record to three win. Two first half goals were scored by sophomores, Sullivan and Flynn; the Falcons then followed them up with the same result again in the second half. Sullivan and Flynn each finished the game with two goals apiece, giving Flynn eight goals through just three games. “Our mentality was good all game,” head coach Eric Nichols said. “I felt we played very comprehensive and we defended our lead well.” While the Falcons as a whole have continued to be successful, a majority of their scoring has come from their underclassmen. With eight goals on the season, sophomore Pat Flynn leads the Falcons with eight goals. Fellow sophomores Joe Sullivan and Max Auden have both added three and one goal[s] respectively. Freshman, Bradley Macomber has also added a lone goal for the Falcons, giving the underclassmen 13 of the 16 season goals for the Falcons.

“Our young guys are coming along really well,” Nichols said. “A number of our young guys have gotten goals and assists; they’ve just been making plays.” After going on the road and getting their first visiting victory, the Falcons took the field against Duquesne University, midday Sunday. Remaining scoreless for the first thirty minutes, the Falcons suffered their first deficit of the season as the Dukes pushed in the first goal of the game on a rebound from a Landsberger save. Shortly after halftime, Duquesne scored a second goal with just over 34 minutes left in regulation. However, the Falcons were not bothered by the pressure, and instead, remained aggressive. “We never felt like we were on our heels,” Nichols said. “We were always the aggressor throughout the game, we just can’t leave so many possessions without chances.” Despite falling behind, the Falcons maintained their composure and battled back to tie the game after converting a Danny Baraldi penalty kick with less than three minutes remaining. “There was never any doubt that we could come back despite falling down 2-0,” Nichols said. “We were playing to win the entire time.”

PRESIDENT MAZEY helps to reveal a POW/MIA Chair of Honor prior to Saturday’s football game.

POW From Page 2 Jenkins said he got the idea to install the POW/MIA vacant seat in BG arenas from the University of Toledo doing the same this past season against Navy. From that point, he approached President Mazey, Director of Non-traditional students and Veterans, Barbara Henry and BG Mayor Richard Edwards to set the plan in motion. “It’s a reminder I think to all of us veterans that some of us are not here and we’ve got to recognize the sacrifice that they made and this is one of the ways of doing it,” Jenkins said. Ohio senator Randy Gardner, a BG alumnus, said few people realize how supportive the University has

been to veterans. “I think this is another reason why those of us who are BG alums and those of us who have always had pride in Bowling Green just have another reason to show that Bowling Green State University reaches out to those who really have made a difference,” Gardner said. He said this is just one of the many reasons he is proud to be associated with the University, but at the end of the day it’s about the veterans. “At the end of the day it’s mostly about those who did serve our country, wore the uniform of our country, because nothing anyone else does, whether their title is president or senator or trustee or doctor, to wear the uniform of the country and risk losing your life for your nation is really the highest tribute,” he said.

FOOTBALL From Page 4 is okay with him and he is back next week. Overall I think we just played BG defense though.” That BG defense had been talking all preseason about forcing turnovers and they were finally able to do that as they forced a fumble and an interception as well. Overall Babers believes the secondary challenged a lot better this week. “The corners challenged the wideouts, they were close to them and they challenged plays,” he said. “If they didn’t they came out of the game, because if you aren’t going to challenge you might as well be standing next to the coaches.” The second half was more of the same for the Falcons, the scoring may have slowed down but Knapke did total his first throw ing touchdow n of the season. He connected with freshman Roger Lewis for a 51 yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to end the scoring for the Falcons.

WOMEN’S From Page 4 belief system that giving up goals is part of the game but that we know we can work ourselves back in,” she said. Fa lcons goa lkeeper Lauren Cadel had another strong performance against the Vikings making a total of 10 saves. “Lauren kept us in the game and she has given us some freedom in terms of

“He [Lewis] is a great receiver,” Knapke said. “All I had to do is give him a chance.” For all of the talk surrounding the injury to Johnson in the week building up to this game Knapke had a solid first start but knows their mindset must turn to Indiana. “You would like to think he is going to continue to get better,” Babers said. “Now you have to understand that the competition is going to get better and therefore when the competition gets better the numbers will get screwed because it becomes more difficult. But based on who we played today I thought he had a really solid outing.” The Falcons were able to bounce back from the adversity and injuries now they will get ready for a rematch against The University of Indiana on Saturday at noon. “I’m excited for the kids to win this game, we needed this win and we deserved this win,” Babers said. “They worked hard in the summer and the spring to win one.”

“We will enjoy this win a bit longer than normal...” Lindsay Basalyga | Head Coach the system we want to play because we are confident in her to make plays that keep us in the game,” Basalyga said. After this weekend, the Falcons are now 1-4-0 during the 2014 season.

MEN’S From Page 4 After battling back from their first deficit of the season, the Dukes put the nail-in-the-coffin with a ‘golden goal’ during the second overtime. This goal ended the game, giving the Falcons their first loss of the season to end the Duquesne Invitational. “We showed a lot of character against Duquesne,” Nichols said. “They are a good team with some interesting weapons and battled well.” While the Falcons fought hard throughout the game, never giving up, they were unable to find a way to put the Dukes away. Now the Falcons will look to get the bad taste out of their mouth and move onto their next matchup against Northern Kentucky. “This loss is going to sting, but we need to remember the sting and figure out how to win the next close game,” Nichols said. The next time the Falcons will take the field, they will be back home September 12 at 7 p.m. on Cochrane Field. “Next time, we need to figure out a way to finish and get the win,” Nichols said.
