Students graduate younger, older
than most
University students flock to Portage Quarry for its beach during the sum-mer, but a passion for scuba diving continues to be the main focus of Jeff Rice, owner of the quarry.
After getting certification from Professional Association of Diving Instructors a $450 scuba diving package can be purchased for the quarry. The package includes all rental gear, air fills for tanks, weights for suits, skill work lessons in shallow water, confined water dive training, four open water dives and a life-time scuba diving certification card, Monica Lynn, office man-ager of the quarry said.
Scuba diving is offered at the quarry seven days a week, although Saturdays and Sundays are the busi-est days, Lynn said.
“If someone is new to scuba diving they are likely to come on Saturdays and Sundays, because they can get
the opportunity to meet up with more experienced divers,” Lynn said.
Bob Rajner, quarry scuba diving instructor, can be found most weeks participating in dives with other experienced scuba divers, as well as instructing people that are new to the activity.
He has been scuba diving since he ended his military service in 1959 and a friend got him interested, Rajner said.
In Northwest Ohio Quarries, like the one in Portage, offer a good alter-native to Lake Erie, Rajner said.
“If you have to choose between Lake Erie and a quarry, the quarry will always be the better choice,” Rajner said. “It is a really good train-ing place and it offers the opportu-nity to keep your skill up.”
The quarry would not be what it is today without the personal drive of Rice, Lynn said.
“His main focus has always been

Tau Kappa Epsilon has been recognized as the top chapter in the nation this year.
The fraternity officially started two years ago at the University and beat out 279 other chapters throughout the Unites States in order to earn the position as the top in the nation.
Pedro Petribu, president of TKE, said it’s rare for the fraternity chapter to have been recognized for the top in the nation
because of how new it is; it usually consists of an older chapter. TKE has worked in key areas such as recruiting new mem-
bers, keeping a consistent 3.0 GPA, having each member do community service and building philanthropy, all of which have earned the chapter top in the nation, he said.
“It’s easier to run and be part of something when you have a set goal to strive for,” Petribu said. “We worked so hard that we got it.”
Vice President and founding member of TKE Austin Zachrich said their chapter was the first in the nation to reach 100 per-cent in the key areas, which included dedication and hard work. It was a defining piece that we were deserving for getting what was expected out of a fraternity for being so new, he said.
“I truly believe each one of our guys in the fraternity has that dedication and strive to become better,” Zachrich said. “We push them and make sure they are reaching potential and we make sure we recruit the best people, but at
Over 5,000 dollars in art supplies and finished works of art were stolen from three students at the University Fine Arts Center,
Jason Schwab, a senior art student and a friend of the victims, said there have been items stolen from the building before but never to this magnitude.
“The tools are very expensive, it’s like it was almost personal attacks on these girls,” Schwab said. “The stolen stuff is worth more than any monetary value given the amount of time each individual put into their work.”
The items which consisted of hand-made jewelry and sculptures, silver, assorted paints, a variety of art tools and a large number of student art proj-ects were reported stolen to the Bowling Green Police Department on May 4.
Amber Whitenburg, a senior studying Fine Arts and Sculpture, had over $1,500 of supplies and art projects stolen from her. She had a total of fourteen finished, show-worthy pieces stolen equaling over $1,000.
Whitenburg speculates the perpetra-tor was someone she knew. One of the only items not stolen was a sentimental glass piece that

Logan Wolph and Carol Schermbeck have recently been recognized for their achievements as the young-est and oldest graduates in the class of 2013.
At 17 years old, Wolph is the youngest student to gradu-ate, and Shermbeck at 69 is the oldest. Wolph graduated Cum Laude, which means completing his degree with at least a 3.5 GPA. He gradu-ated with a bachelor’s degree in biology, and Shermbeck obtained a bachelor’s degree
in liberal studies. Both alumni said being
younger or older than your typical college student has had its advantages and dis-advantages, but both agree that age doesn’t matter.
“There were always chal-lenges throughout my col-lege experience, but I don’t feel they were much differ-ent from what most students face,” Wolph said. “It was a challenge for me to maintain good grades and manage my time wisely, but I don’t think my age had much of an impact on it.”

Quarry offers scuba lessons that are said to be better than Lake Erie’s
scuba diving—that is his passion,” Lynn said.Scuba diving has been offered at the quar-
ry since Rice purchased it in 1978. Since the opening, scuba diving attrac-
tions have been added to the bottom of the quarry for scuba divers to explore, including: a jet, airplane, school bus, mock cemetery, three-car wreck, cannon and a semi-truck, Lynn said.
Senior Brittany Daniels has always heard rumors about ships being sunk in the quarry, but has never looked into scuba diving to see for herself, Daniels said.
“It is kind of eerie to think about all of the things that could be down there,” Daniels said. “It would be really fun to dive out here and check it out.”
The International Legends of Diving Festival will offer attendees a chance to learn about the history of scuba diving from people that experienced it firsthand,Lynn said.
“We have guest scuba divers come and tell their stories in their own words,” Lynn said. “It is really about telling their per-sonal history while they are still around to tell it.”
Ellsworth Boyd, the 2013 festival special guest, has collected data on shipwrecks around the world for 27 years. Other guests include Alec Peirce, Robert Croft and Victor Worst, according to www.internationalleg-endsofdiving.com.
The festival will be held August 10 and 11 at the quarry.

Similarily, Shermbeck said that staying on track was the most difficult part.
“You have to discipline yourself,” she said. “You know you can’t go home and watch TV or read the paper, you’ve got to do school work.”
Shermbeck decided to work toward her liberal studies degree after working for the University’s Military Science department.
“It’s always been a long term goal for me,” she said. “I got a job working for the University and thought, ‘Well hey, what a good way to get an education.’”
Wolph is currently reviewing for the Dental Admission Test (DAT). He plans to attend dental school this fall at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
Shermbeck plans to use her degree to become a substitute teacher after her retire-ment in September of this year.
“I was a mentor for the Springboard pro-gram at Sylvania Southview High School,
which gave me a teaching credit,” Shermbeck said. “I wasn’t going to
waste that credit,” she said. When asked what the best part about
attending the University, both students agreed that their fellow classmates and pro-fessors made the experience worthwhile.
“The camaraderie that the University has between other employees and the staff; they’re very accepting,” Shermbeck said. “It’s surprising how some of them become good friends.”
Wolph said he enjoyed the atmosphere of the University and how friendly the students were. He said he was glad he had the oppour-tunity to learn from his peers and professors.
For both students, the experience at the University has prepared them for their future plans.
“I’m happy to be done, but then you know when you’re done you think ‘Geez, what am I going to do with all of my time now?’” Shermbeck said.

By Alex AlusheffCity EditorStudents returning to the city from winter
break may find themselves a few belongings
short.Usually the rate of theft rises when students
leave because their apartments are unattended
for weeks, said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief
and public information officer for the Bowling
Green Police Division.There were 20 reports of theft, burglary and
robbery in December, 11 more than November,
according to a summary report provided by
Hetrick.Other crimes, however, decreased while stu-
dents were home for break.“Less people in town means less activity,”
Hetrick said. “A lot of different factors go into
reductions.”Factors like cold weather may have convinced
more people to stay home or indoors instead of
making the trek downtown or elsewhere, he said.
Liquor law violations are some of the crimes
that lessen during breaks, Hetrick said.Police made 42 liquor law arrests in December,
which is down from 72 in November, according
to the summary report.While crimes may have f luctuated in the city,
crime on campus dwindled.For campus police, there is usually a decline in
calls for service because the majority of the 6,500
students who live on campus leave, said Capt.
Michael Campbell.There is the possibility for a spike in crimes like
theft, but campus police do not find out until the
first few weeks of classes as students return and
might discover some of their things are missing,
he said.During break Campbell said campus police
have time to focus their energy on tasks they nor-
mally can’t when classes are in session.“We have more foot patrol and are able to check
buildings and have more visibility,” he said.Even with most students out of town, most bar
stools stayed full during break. Banan Alkilani, general manager of Cla-Zel,
said the bar was continually busy during break
due to the fact that they hosted “Club KISS” on
weekends and community members made up for
the student attendance loss.Because crowds remained the same, Alkilani
said there is no surge or loss of fights and sneak-
ins, which he said are at a minimum anyway.
Holidays also may have contributed to high bar
attendance and crimes in the city.Some crimes spike at big party days like St.
By Alex AlusheffCity EditorIt’s only a couple weeks into the new year, and some students may find it hard to keep to their resolutions.
This year, sophomore Brett Vermillion aims to be a nicer guy because “it makes people happy.”
Vermillion said his reso-lutions typically last about a month.
He believes it may be hard for people to keep resolutions for a few reasons.
“You can’t be lazy,” Vermillion
said. “You have to find time to make for it.”
A common resolution he sees is to work out more, which he does every day.A past resolution to work out
was a contributing factor to Vermillion’s routine.

time that to remember what we’re here to do?” Solis said.
Matt Haschak, director of IT security and networking in the department of informa-tion technology at the University, will also give a report on AlertBG. Alert BG is a text message and email alert system, in which the campus police department sends messages to warn the campus community of situations., according to the University website. Right now, the program is opt-in for students, who can sign up on their MyBGSU page, but USG is looking to make it opt-out. Opt-out would mean students would auto-matically be signed up for the program.The weekly meeting will take place in 201

City council will host a public
hearing tonight so residents can
voice their opinions about the
controversial rezoning of land
at the corner of Wooster and
Prospect Streets.
While residents will be able to
voice their opinions at the 6 p.m.
hearing, the council likely won’t
vote on the B-3 or B-5 zoning ordi-
nances at its 7 p.m. meeting at
the City Administrative Services
Building. The delay of voting
comes as the City’s Planning
Commission decided to further
examine the proposed ordinanc-
es, which will delay it’s proposal
about the project to council.
While the delay may push a
final decision back to city coun-
cil’s February meeting, some resi-
dents and council members are
happy about the delay.
“The residents believe we need
to take great care of this one,”
said Daniel Gordon, a council-
man who represents the residents
of the area being rezoned. “I’m
not going to support or uphold
anything that doesn’t have their
input involved.”
Residents have been asking
for more time to consider the
ordinance’s specifics since it
was introduced to council on
Oct. 15, 2012.
Gordon supports residents who
have asked the city to slow down
the passing of the ordinance in
order to consider specifics of the
proposed ordinances. Specifics
include potential buffer areas
around what would be the newly
rezoned sites, number of floors
and what business can be includ-
ed in the new spaces.
“I’m glad the process has been
slowed down,” Gordon said.
“Anything we can do to boost the
inclusion of everyone’s thoughts
and opinions is a good thing.”
Now that the process has been
“slowed down,” the Planning
Commission will announce its
recommendation to council at its
newly scheduled meeting Jan. 16,

a better place.Solis said USG
will be focusing on
major issues affect-
ing students this
month. This will
include a discus-
sion of how to make

The first meet-
ing of the semester will be hosted
Monday at 7:30 p.m. in room 308

Solis said he is also looking to
pass a resolution this month for an
opt-out program for the campus
alert system AlertBG.
The system, which warns stu-
dents and faculty of emergencies
or class cancellations, is currently
an opt-in program, meaning you
must sign up to receive the alerts,
he said.
Solis said he wants the alerts
to be automatically sent to every-
one on campus, and if they decide
they don’t want to receive them,
they can opt-out of the program.

STATEBRIEFBrown sworn in as
state representative
Republican Tim Brown was sworn in
Monday as a member of the Ohio House of
Representatives.
Brown will serve the third district as a
state representative. The ceremony took
place at 10 a.m. on the floor of the Ohio
House of Representatives in the State
Capitol building in Columbus. Brown was
sworn in by Betty D. Montgomery, a former
attorney general and a former Wood County
prosecutor and state senator.
“It’s definitely going to be a new chal-
lenge for me,” Brown, who previously served
14 years as a Wood County Commissioner,
said of his new position.
Brown also arranged a tour of the State
Capitol immediately following the ceremony.
“That way folks will have the time to see
the people’s house,” he said.
A House session also took place Monday
at 2 p.m. The session didn’t deal with bills or
legislation, but was more procedural, Brown
said. The session formally swore in all House
members at once and dealt with committee
assignments and structures, he said.
Brown and his fellow representatives’
main task during the next six months will be
to formulate the state budget, Brown said.
“We still have a very challenging econ-
omy on our hands and the work ahead is
going to be meaningful,” he said.
Wood County Commissioners James
Carter and Joel Kuhlman also hosted a
reception in honor of Brown Dec. 19. The
event, which took place in the Wood County
office building, honored Brown for his years
of service as a commissioner.
Mayor Richard Edwards declared the day
“Tim Brown Day.”

When freshman Rebecca Gonya wakes up and is greeted by a frigid cold and a snow-covered ground, she doesn’t let it lower her mood.
During the cold winter months, students may find that the harsh winds and frequent snows of Bowling Green affect their motiva-tion and spirits. Some may find it dif-ficult to get out and go to class.
But for Gonya, the solution is simple.
“Bundle up and get through the day,” she said.
Many students will experience a decrease in mood during the winter months, said Dryw Dworsky, direc-tor of the Psychological Services Center and clinical assistant profes-sor in the psychology department.
“I wouldn’t call it a dramatic increase, but I do see a lot of mood-related issues in the colder months,” Dworsky said.
These “blues” can be attributed to a hormone imbalance caused by lack of exposure to sunlight, said Howard Cromwell, associate professor in the psychology department. This hor-mone is melatonin, he said.
“You need to have an exposure to light for a certain period of time to have that melatonin work properly,” Cromwell said.
Altered melatonin leads to both sleep issues and depression, he said.
But the Psychological Services Center is there to help.
The center, located in 300 Psychology Building, offers a wide variety of services to the campus and surrounding community by super-vised graduate students. The center helps those struggling with anything from depression to substance abuse, according to the center’s website.

Within a few years, students may hear more of a certain distinc-tive tone ringing throughout the musical arts building— the tone of Steinway pianos.
The College of Musical Arts is working on becoming an All-Steinway School, which means 90 percent or more of the pianos used in the school will be made by Steinway and Sons piano company, said Jeffrey Showell, dean of the College of Musical Arts.
“There’s really no doubt that Steinways are the best pianos in the world,” Showell said. “The best music schools in the country are All-Steinway schools.”
Acquiring more Steinway pianos will give the school an edge in recruit-ing, Showell said.
“It sends the message that the school is committed to learning at the
highest level,” he said. Showell brought the initiative of becoming All-Steinway when he came to
the University about a year and a half ago, he said. One of the first steps was getting the Moore Musical Arts Center ready to
house Steinways. In September, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution to replace the aging HVAC units in the building.
“While the units have been serviced regularly and are reasonably well maintained, the overall performance has been deteriorating along with the physical state of the units,” according to the resolution. “In addition, the College of Musical Arts is planning to become an ‘All-Steinway School’ (piano), and the current climate conditions within the building will not support that designation.”
For a fine piano, humidity cannot change suddenly, Showell said. Showell said the college tries to keep the Steinways in parts of the building that

During the next few years, stu-dents may see construction all across campus.
The University is planning to renovate, expand or rebuild some of the academic buildings across campus and the renovations will benefit every college, Steven Krakoff, Associate Vice President of Capitol Planning and Campus Operations, said.
“It’s important that all of our buildings adequately support the users,” Krakoff said. “Whether they are residence halls or classroom buildings, it is important that they
are in good condition and that they provide the right amount of technology and other amenities to serve students and faculty.”
This summer the University will begin to renovate and expand the College of Health and Human Services building, renovate the second floor of Olscamp Hall and replace the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the Moore Musical Arts building, Krakoff said.
According to an email from Chief Financial Officer Sherideen
By Alex AlusheffCity EditorStudents returning to the city from winter
break may find themselves a few belongings
short.Usually the rate of theft rises when students
leave because their apartments are unattended
for weeks, said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief
and public information officer for the Bowling
Green Police Division.There were 20 reports of theft, burglary and
robbery in December, 11 more than November,
according to a summary report provided by
Hetrick.Other crimes, however, decreased while stu-
dents were home for break.“Less people in town means less activity,”
Hetrick said. “A lot of different factors go into
reductions.”Factors like cold weather may have convinced
more people to stay home or indoors instead of
making the trek downtown or elsewhere, he said.
Liquor law violations are some of the crimes
that lessen during breaks, Hetrick said.Police made 42 liquor law arrests in December,
which is down from 72 in November, according
to the summary report.While crimes may have f luctuated in the city,
crime on campus dwindled.For campus police, there is usually a decline in
calls for service because the majority of the 6,500
students who live on campus leave, said Capt.
Michael Campbell.There is the possibility for a spike in crimes like
theft, but campus police do not find out until the
first few weeks of classes as students return and
might discover some of their things are missing,
he said.During break Campbell said campus police
have time to focus their energy on tasks they nor-
mally can’t when classes are in session.“We have more foot patrol and are able to check
buildings and have more visibility,” he said.Even with most students out of town, most bar
stools stayed full during break. Banan Alkilani, general manager of Cla-Zel,
said the bar was continually busy during break
due to the fact that they hosted “Club KISS” on
weekends and community members made up for
the student attendance loss.Because crowds remained the same, Alkilani
said there is no surge or loss of fights and sneak-
ins, which he said are at a minimum anyway.
Holidays also may have contributed to high bar
attendance and crimes in the city.Some crimes spike at big party days like St.

City council will host a public
hearing tonight so residents can
voice their opinions about the
controversial rezoning of land
at the corner of Wooster and
Prospect Streets.
While residents will be able to
voice their opinions at the 6 p.m.
hearing, the council likely won’t
vote on the B-3 or B-5 zoning ordi-
nances at its 7 p.m. meeting at
the City Administrative Services
Building. The delay of voting
comes as the City’s Planning
Commission decided to further
examine the proposed ordinanc-
es, which will delay it’s proposal
about the project to council.
While the delay may push a
final decision back to city coun-
cil’s February meeting, some resi-
dents and council members are
happy about the delay.
“The residents believe we need
to take great care of this one,”
said Daniel Gordon, a council-
man who represents the residents
of the area being rezoned. “I’m
not going to support or uphold
anything that doesn’t have their
input involved.”
Residents have been asking
for more time to consider the
ordinance’s specifics since it
was introduced to council on
Oct. 15, 2012.
Gordon supports residents who
have asked the city to slow down
the passing of the ordinance in
order to consider specifics of the
proposed ordinances. Specifics
include potential buffer areas
around what would be the newly
rezoned sites, number of floors
and what business can be includ-
ed in the new spaces.
“I’m glad the process has been
slowed down,” Gordon said.
“Anything we can do to boost the
inclusion of everyone’s thoughts
and opinions is a good thing.”
Now that the process has been
“slowed down,” the Planning
Commission will announce its
recommendation to council at its

STATEBRIEFBrown sworn in as
state representative
Republican Tim Brown was sworn in
Monday as a member of the Ohio House of
Representatives.
Brown will serve the third district as a
state representative. The ceremony took
place at 10 a.m. on the floor of the Ohio
House of Representatives in the State
Capitol building in Columbus. Brown was
sworn in by Betty D. Montgomery, a former
attorney general and a former Wood County
prosecutor and state senator.
“It’s definitely going to be a new chal-
lenge for me,” Brown, who previously served
14 years as a Wood County Commissioner,
said of his new position.
Brown also arranged a tour of the State
Capitol immediately following the ceremony.
“That way folks will have the time to see
the people’s house,” he said.
A House session also took place Monday
at 2 p.m. The session didn’t deal with bills or
legislation, but was more procedural, Brown
said. The session formally swore in all House
members at once and dealt with committee
assignments and structures, he said.
Brown and his fellow representatives’
main task during the next six months will be
to formulate the state budget, Brown said.
“We still have a very challenging econ-
omy on our hands and the work ahead is
going to be meaningful,” he said.
Wood County Commissioners James
Carter and Joel Kuhlman also hosted a
reception in honor of Brown Dec. 19. The
event, which took place in the Wood County
office building, honored Brown for his years
of service as a commissioner.
Mayor Richard Edwards declared the day
“Tim Brown Day.”
“It turned out to be really, really nice,”
Brown said. “It was quite humbling to have
that kind of reception.”
Brown spent his final months as com-
missioner by finalizing the budget. His
last day in his Wood County office was
this past Monday, when he packed up his
final things.
“I’ve kind of been getting things in order
so I’m ready to go after the swearing-in,”
he said.

People always tell you to be careful what you post on social networking sites. The first site that comes to mind is Facebook. It is not often that we think about watching what we post on Twitter.
Twitter is a social net-working site, like Facebook, and should not be discard-ed when it comes to user discretion.
People are careful to avoid posting embarrassing, inap-propriate and sometimes incriminating photos and statuses on Facebook, but this caution is not present when using Twitter in a lot of cases.
Tweeters post tweets about getting drunk, using drugs and doing other inap-propriate things all the time. They use profane language and seem to not care that future employers can access those tweets.
Facebook users often times have their profile on the high-est privacy and are careful
about what pictures they are tagged in and what type of information they post in fear of being judged by future employers for their endeavors and personal life.
However, sometimes these same people use Twitter and do not approach their use of it with the same caution. Many peoples’ tweets are not protected and are there-fore viewable to anyone who accesses the site. They can also be retweeted for other users to see, ones that you may not know and even third parties.
Employers may look at your Facebook and see nothing wrong. Then they may go to your Twitter account and see tweets that you have posted that change their initial opin-ions of you if you are posting without using discretion.
Twitter is an outlet for thoughts and emotions and should be used to display whatever the user wants. However, one must be smart.
Avoid posting inappropri-ate tweets and pictures and using profane language that could be offensive or degrad-ing to other people.
In the past, people have
been tweeting without con-sequence. However, this is not the case anymore.
Recently, a girl tweeted about a crime she commit-ted and the police tracked it down and then arrested her. And this is not an isolated incident.
This goes to show you are not immune to the conse-quences that may arise if you tweet something.
Overall, a social network user must always remember to represent themselves in an appropriate way, espe-cially if they hope to find a job in the future.
As college students, we often get caught up in the present and do not think about how our actions now will affect our future. Tweeting about how you got totally wasted at that party last night will not be attrac-tive to a future employer.
Also, posting that photo of you as an underage person with a bottle of vodka in your hand is probably not a good idea as well. What you post is a direct reflection of yourself.
I have done things myself that I have later gone back and deleted from my social
networks because I have realized that they may not be a good representation of myself. I encourage everyone to do the same.
What you thought was a good post then, may not be a good post now.
Always remember, one sin-gle tweet, Facebook status, or any post to social media or the Internet for that mat-ter, can display multiple character traits that may be influential in other’s creation of opinions about the user. These opinions can either help or deter your future.

‘Argo’ revisits some of histories worst tragedies
Be discrete when you tweet
Based on the true story of the Iran hostage crisis of 1979, “Argo” portrayed the efforts made by the US government, the Canadian government and the CIA to remove six American con-sulate officers from their refuge at the Canadian embassy.
Hiding from Iranian rev-olutionaries and students, the six Americans hid until efforts were made to get them out of Iran.
Posing as a film crew looking for a Middle Eastern location to film the science-fiction movie “Argo,” CIA operative Tony Mendez worked with both governments, people in Hollywood who set up the behind-the-scenes parts of “Argo,” including offices, business cards, posters, articles, advertisements, and storyboards to make the movie seem real.
Barely making it out of Iran with a couple of close calls that surely kept the Americans in Iran on high
alert and the audience on the edge of their seat, “Argo” brings up a topic that needs to be addressed.
Young American stu-dents do not know much about American history unless they want to know a lot about American history. But even the students who push to learn more about American history do not know much about the latter half of the 20th century.
Is it because the his-tory is considerably mod-ern? Anything from the end of World War II and on are still fresh in the older generation’s minds. Is it because the younger generations do not need to know why the U.S. is involved in the Middle East or why such conflicts today are not new, but part of the bigger picture?
Is it because the students don’t care? Why study his-tory? The same information is just thrown at the stu-dents and expected to be remembered for testing. It’s just a waste of time when schools are focusing on test scores and not the quality of the education.
The questions conflict today knowing history
answers.Iraq, Iran and North
Korea are all conflicts that started decades ago that continue to this day.
The reason why the US continues to be involved in foreign affairs also goes back into history. America was involved in World War I because the country was threatened, but beforehand and after the war, America practiced a policy of con-tainment and isolation.
The hemisphere was to remain guarded and untouched by foreign pow-ers as America expanded its empires. When efforts were made to include America in the international com-munity, efforts were made to stop it, as seen with the League of Nations.
Then Great Depression, the Holocaust and World War II happened. It taught America that the domes-tic economy would have to depend on the internation-al economy and become tied to other countries. The Great Depression did not just affect America, but most of Europe also experi-enced the same effects.
The Holocaust taught America that something
had to be done to prevent such an awful loss of lives from happening and yes, these horrors do happen.
World War II, much like the first World War, showed the need for an organization that would work out the differences between various nations for mediation.
But what got America out of its shell was the fear of the spread of com-mu n ism t h roug hout the world. From Korea to Vietnam, the Berlin Wall—all were because of communism.
Tensions in the Middle East were tied to fighting the Soviet Union before their collapse. Fighting to contain communism, a lot of today’s current news sto-ries were made possible as communism was fought, contained or not contained.
Without some of this base knowledge, students and those who do not know history that well cannot connect the events of today with the past, even though they’re hardly mentioned.

PHOTO PROVIDEDFALCONS BASEBALL team celebrates their win over Ball State for the MAC Championship this past sunday.
By Dan KotnikSports Reporter
Just a little over a two weeks ago, the Falcons’ Baseball team was only two outs away from their season being over. After a walk off win and a deep run into the MAC tournament, they can now call themselves 2013 MAC champions and have earned them-selves a bid to the NCAA Tournament, a place no Falcon squad has seen since 1999.
“I think these past couple games we did a lot of growing up as a team,” senior pitcher Nick Bruns said. “At the beginning of the season we started out a little shaky on defense but we continued to get better as the season progressed.”
The Falcons last regular sea-son game against the University at Buffalo, they found themselves going into the 9th inning down 4-3. However, with the help of Bruns’ pitching and two RBIs [runs bat-ted in] from senior Matt Pitzulo and junior Patrick Lancaster, the Falcons
pulled off the walk-off win, securing their spot for the MAC tournament.
“It all really started on Saturday against Buffalo when we were two out away from not even making the tournament,” Bruns said. “After that victory, it was like a different team. On the field, off the field and in the locker room, we just had some new life in us.”
The Falcons started their tourna-ment run against the 3rd ranked Northern Illinois Huskies. The team fell behind quickly 4-0 in the first four innings.
“I pulled them in after that fourth inning and asked them what the score was in that last game against Buffalo at this point, and they said 4-0,” said head coach Danny Schmitz. “I told them, exactly.”
The next opponent would look familiar to the team as they matched up against Toledo. The Falcons knocked off the Rockets 4-3, with the possibility of having to play them again due to the double elimination style of the tournament.
Toledo handled Buffalo in the next game, meaning the Falcons needed to beat their closest rival once out of a double header to advance to the MAC championship. In game one, the Falcons took an early one run lead but Toledo came back to win 5-2.
The Falcons, facing elimination from the tournament, turned right around for game two that same afternoon.
“We came here to win one game because that’s all it took to get to the championship game and that’s what we wanted,” Schmitz said.
It was a close game throughout. Yet, it only took an RBI sacrifice fly from Lancaster to give the Falcons the win and with it their first trip to the MAC championship game in 14 years.
The next day in the champion-ship game against the Ball State Cardinals, the Falcons didn’t want any doubt left.
Falcon hitters got seven runs out of 13 hits as BG topped Ball State 7-0 to win their third MAC title.
“Once we jumped out to the lead, the rest of the game just flew by,” catcher T.J. Losby said. “It was actu-ally pretty relaxing and comfortable just like a normal game.”
The real outstanding perfor-mance came from Bruns allow-ing only three hits and no runs. His championship outing, plus another win and save during the tournament, also earned Bruns MAC tournament Most Valuable Player honors.
“Nick hit his spots and really had Ball State off balance throughout the whole game,” Losby said . “I’m extremely happy that Nick got the ball and was given the chance to give us that performance in what could have been his last game of his great career.”
With their MAC title came an automatic qualification for the NCAA tournament, only their fourth in school history. The Falcons got no favors from the selection commit-tee as they were put into a regional group with traditional college base-
ball powerhouses Miami, Oklahoma State and their first game match-up, 15th ranked Louisville.
“We were extremely excited going to the regionals there in Louisville,” Schmitz said. “We knew we were going up against some of the best college baseball teams. I told them they put their uniforms on the same way we do.”
The Falcons took an early lead with a first inning home run from junior Jeremy Shay. However, with a two-run third inning and a four-run fifth inning, the Falcons were no match for the Cardinals as they pulled away for an 8-3 win.
The loss meant the team would be forced into an elimination game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Cowboys put the Falcons behind early and didn’t look back as the Falcons lost 7-3, ending their season.
“The guys played very hard. I’m very proud of them,” Schmitz said. “I think they did the program and tradition proud.”

TAKINGTHE
MAC
By Brian KlueterColumnist
Although baseball isn’t as popu-lar among collegiate sports at the University compared to football, basketball, and hockey, the respect that the team has earned this sea-son should not be overlooked.
The Falcon’s baseball team has a lot to be proud of this season. Head Coach Danny Schmitz both achieved and surpassed the 600 win mark in his 23rd year. After qualifying for the MAC Baseball Tournament, the Falcons beat Northern Illinois, Toledo, and Ball State to secure their cham-pionship, with pitcher Nick Bruns winning the tournament MVP award. They even had to beat arch rival Toledo twice in order to get to the championship game. As underdogs, they were able to surprise even the most loyal of fans in bringing home their third MAC Tournament championship, the most recent being 14 years ago in 1999.
The last time that the Falcons
won the MAC Tournament cham-pionship, The Matrix, and Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace were new movies and the top song was “Livin’ La Vida Loca” by Ricky Martin.
This alone is a great underdog story, but was not the end to their season. The Falcons qualified, with their MAC tournament vic-tory, for the NCAA Tournament, being placed in a double elimi-nation bracket in Louisville, Kentucky with major programs such as Louisville, Miami (Fl.), and Oklahoma State. While the Falcons put up a valiant effort, they lost first to Louisville 8 to 3, and ended their season with a 7 to 3 loss to Oklahoma State.
For a team that was struggling to make the MAC Tournament to begin with, this is quite a good way to end the season.
With most students gone for the summer, the awareness of their championship run could be less-ened. With the exception of the University’s Athletics website, and the continuous campus updates,
student might find it difficult to learn about the baseball team’s success. The MAC and NCAA Tournaments take place after most schools have let out for the summer, so it could be easy to forget that the team plays on past exam week.
Hopefully this MAC champi-onship and NCAA Tournament success will bring a stronger popularity to baseball at the University. With an epic end to the season, the Falcons have made their name in the histo-ry books, even with an ending record of 24-31.
After March Madness died down, some people either wanted or felt the need to take a break from following competitive sports. Somehow, the baseball team seems to get lost in the shuffle. Even though the level of popularity is lower, the level of respect should be just as high as the University’s other sports programs. It’s not every day that a sports team wins some sort of championship, so let it be celebrated and remembered.

The new science fiction film directed by M. Night Shyamalan “After Earth,” starring Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith, was released in theaters this past Friday, May 31.
The film takes place more than 1000 years in the future, with humans having colonized a new planet. Will Smith plays Cypher Raige, a war hero on his last mission before retiring who brings along his son Kitai in order to strengthen their relationship. On the way to their destina-tion, they encounter damage from an asteroid field, caus-ing their ship to crash-land on a foreign planet, which is later revealed to be Earth.
Since Raige is injured, Kitai must make the journey alone to retrieve a beacon device that crashed 100 kilometers away, in order to bring res-cue. The environment does not make it easy for him.
Raige reveals to Kitai that Earth evolved to repel human beings through many means, with things such as aggressive species of animals, less oxygen in the air, a dangerous freeze that happens every night and many others. As Kitai moves throughout his journey, he encounters many of these
dangers, creating tension and conflict that connect and hold the attention of the audience. Giant eagles, poi-sonous leeches and climb-ing a volcano are only a few of the immediate dangers that he faces on his quest to retrieve the beacon. Raige and Kitai bond over the journey, creating a stronger connection between the two characters.
This is Shyamalan’s first directed film since the 2010 disappointment, “The Last Airbender.” While it is beauti-ful on a visual scale and has a plot driven storyline, there are still many flaws. The real-istic and technical aspects are questionable in both their scientific accuracy and ability to be believed, ranging from noise in space to a growth in plant life with low oxygen.
With Shyamalan’s signature being a plot twist, perhaps the real twist is that there isn’t one. Whether it was the fear of another unsuccessful film or the lack of a possible twist that would work for the story’s end, audience members who expect a surprise ending may be disappointed.
While definitely not the best Smith or Shyamalan film ever made, the visual and techno-logical intrigue, on top of the father-son story and dramat-ic action make it an enter-taining film for audiences.

Some of the newer films that take place long ago in history are being modern-ized with today’s popular music.
Films such as “Django Unchained” and “The Great Gatsby” have earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in the past year. Both films are based in past times, and similarly, both films’ directors decided to use contemporary music in their respective films.
Cynthia Baron, associate professor in the department of Theatre and Film, said it may be unexpected to hear a hip-hop song played in a film about slavery, and it’s all part of the director’s attempt to communicate with the audience.
“Directors use music to seamlessly create the emo-
tions they want to convey in a particular moment in a film,” Baron said. “So, while it might seem strange to use contemporary music for stories set in another time, musical choices, like all the elements in a film’s sound design, are designed to reach audiences in a sub-liminal way.”
Thomas Castillo, assistant professor in the department of Film, said that using con-temporary music in films set in historical times has many advantages for directors.
“It allows a director to put his or her own stamp on the material,” Castillo said. “It allows for a more active marketing cam-paign to build buzz and reach out to target audi-ences, and it has the poten-tial to add more relevance for contemporary audienc-es who are not immediate-ly familiar with historical settings and situations.”
While directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Baz Luhrmann have helped popularize this technique recently, the use of contem-porary music in historical-ly based films is not a new innovation, Baron said.
“Music has been an inter-esting part of Hollywood cinema from the silent era forward,” Baron said. “For example, during the stu-dio era, Hollywood moguls employed many classical music composers. Some of this music was grounded in nineteenth-century tradi-tions, while other scores were quite avant-garde.”
Baron said that in the use of popular music in films became noticeable in the 1950s and 60s.
“Filmmakers tried to reach youth audiences by opting out of orchestrated scores and choosing instead record-ings of contemporary rock and roll,” she said.
Castillo said that Alex Cox, director of the post-modern film “Walker” (1987) about 19th century American mercenary leader and for-mer president of Nicaragua William Walker, went even further with this music tech-nique by not only adding contemporary music to the film based in the 1800s, but also contemporary props and a helicopter.
Baron said some may question a director’s deci-sion to include modern music in films with his-torical settings.
“Those who object to this technique overlook the fact that movie music is designed primarily to create emotions and con-tribute to the larger movie experience as a whole,” Baron said.
Senior Sean McGavin said that he usually doesn’t

She found an interest in tele-vision production when she was 15-years-old and she was cast on the MTV show “MADE.”
“I was made into a cheer-leader,” she said. “It is genu-inely what I wanted to do, and to not be so shy.”
During the filming of the epi-sode, the director stayed with her family.
“My parents felt bad that he was living in a hotel room, and had him stay in the basement,” Ward said. “It was easier for him because he was filming me 18 hours out of the day,” Ward said. “My mom would give him a good meal, and we became pretty close. He honestly is like my older brother.”
After Morgan’s episode of “MADE” she began to show an interest in the field.
Keeping in touch with her director from “MADE” ended up benefitting her when he became the producer of “Pawn Stars.”
“I’m very lucky that I got it,” she said. “My producer wouldn’t have put me on it if he thought I would suck, and I’m not treated any different. I still get yelled at.”
On the different sets Ward
has worked on, she has done a variety of different jobs. When she works on the set of “Pawn Stars” she does many different tasks.
“I sign away extras, I sign away release forms, I make sure everything is stocked, I have to talk to the sellers, I have to talk to the experts, I charge batter-ies, I charge walkies [walkie-talkies]; I literally do all the grunt work, if you need me to set up a light I’ll set up the light,” Ward said.
Ward loves the things she does during her internship, but she especially likes the variety she sees every day.
“I have the same job everyday where I shoot video and talk to people and make a show, but at the same time I have something new walk in my door every sin-gle day,” she said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow and that’s awesome.”
Internships are extremely important, especially for stu-dents planning to go into the entertainment or media fields, Ward said.
“I learned everything I ever wanted to learn from working in the field, -- You think you know all the stuff about cam-eras and stuff, and you do know the camera side of the produc-tion, but you don’t know how to work with the talent and there are just certain aspects you
need to learn,” she said.Kathy Ward, Morgan’s moth-
er is extremely supportive of Morgan’s career choice.
“She started doing stuff with her [high school] news team, she was the news anchor,” Kathy said.
Kathy can see her daughter continuing in the television field, but possibly working in a different aspect of it.
“Eventually she made end up doing more history-like stuff,” she said. “She is a history buff especially about the civil war.”
Zach Porach, Ward’s boy-friend thinks her working on “Pawn Stars” shows her dedica-tion for what she does.
“She’s extremely passionate especially which can be seen in the fact that she pretty much dropped her whole life to go and work on this internship, and how she’s just thrown her-self into it,” he said.
Porach hopes that through all these internships Ward does she will be able to continue in the field.
“I hope it helps her break through into the TV world and it gets her a job,” he said.
Even though it can be diffi-cult for Ward and Porach to be far apart, he continues to sup-port her.
“I definitely support her,” Porach said. “This is what she wants to do and I’m about it.”

When I think about music, or a specific favorite album of mine, hidden memories spark like fireworks.
Memories that I wouldn’t remember unless that certain song is playing. There are cer-tain albums that take me way back when and certain songs that remind me of a season. For example, New Found Glory’s “Sticks and Stones” instantly makes me feel like it’s summer and Motion City Soundtrack’s “Commit This To Memory” make me feel like it’s the middle of winter. There are songs on that album that make me think, ‘Maybe I should wear a jacket today,’ when it’s 97 degrees out.
But what’s stronger are the memories I can remember and feel every time I listen to my seventh grade love Angels and Airwaves’ “We Don’t Need To Whisper.” Every single song sparks memories of my junior high school life. I can remember what it was like going through a divorce, making permanent friends and feeling like I could face the world on my own, and only my own.
For some reason, every
single time I hear Beyonce’s, “Irreplaceable” I am instantly reminded of sitting on the bus with my best friend Ryan going to school. I think it’s because it played each morning on that bus for the entire school year. It gives me the funny memo-ry of sprinting to the bus stop motioning our arms right as it’s about to leave as the other passengers laugh because Ryan always overslept.
Every time I hear Gwen Stefani’s, “Hollaback Girl” I am reminded of how my friend’s older brother would crank his volume up as loud as possible in his car and all of us scream-ing at the top of our lungs “B-A-N-A-N-A-S” on the way to our Cross Country practice in eighth grade.
And who doesn’t think of the movie “Mean Girls” each time they hear Kelis’ “Milkshake” on the radio or on a mix and can’t help but smile to yourself.
These songs might not be my favorite genre, but they’re what keep me from losing my youth. I can honestly say that if it weren’t for some of the albums and songs that had an impact in some way during my life, I would forget all of the great times I had with my best friends. I would forget how it felt going through a divorce as a child in order to reflect and grow from it. I would forget how to be myself.

“TEEN WOLF” Season Three | Grade: C
MEDIAREVIEWS
By Amber PetkosekSocial Media Editor
With all of the hype around the newest season of “Teen Wolf,” I was extremely excited for the pre-miere to say the least. The day-long marathon of season two con-tinued to build the excitement.
Within the first five minutes of the show starting, I found myself very disappointed. The premiere left much to be desired. They tried to shove so much into the one hour time slot that the plot didn’t develop. Everything that was said in this episode was stated in the season two finale episode.
With all of the new things the cast has improved on you would think they would have the show well produced. Wrong. The CGI in the show is awful. It resembles the CGI of an extremely low budget movie, or “Twilight.”
The effects in past seasons were much better, and I don’t under-stand how they can improve on wardrobe and set but have the actual effects get worse.
I was interested to see how they were going to explain a large amount of their cast who played major roles leaving the show.
Colton Haynes, who played Jackson Whittemore, was a focal point of last season. They ended season two with him finally becoming a werewolf only for him to leave the show. They had to have him make an exit with-out Colton ever appearing on the show.
They pulled a poorly executed exit. Apparently he was taught how to be a werewolf and deal
with the full moon without killing people “and stuff,” and he left for London. A bad joke was thrown in to reference the 1981 movie “An American Werewolf in London.”
A second character, Erica Reyes, played by Gage Golightly has also left the show. After being cap-tured, and on the run at the end of the second season, it was stated by executive producer Jeff Davis that Erica was alive at the end of season, and they currently have her as “missing” on the show.
There is a large amount of new characters on the show and it really became confusing as to who is who because only one of several new alpha wolves have been formally introduced.
One thing I have noticed a lot with “Teen Wolf” is the fact that there are shirtless people for no reason. At the very beginning of the new episode, the two new twin alpha wolves took off their shirts to morph into one giant wolf. If they had to take off clothes to morph they should have taken off their pants too, lets be realis-tic. Unless those are magic pants, they won’t morph into one pair.
The longer the show goes on, the more it seems to be turning into “Twilight.” If they continue to kill their main villain at the end of each season they will begin to run out of plots for the show.
With the awful CGI, confus-ing amounts of new cast mem-bers and the promise of at least one of my favorite characters dying this season, I can’t see myself watching the show for much longer unless the next few episodes get better.
have a problem with hear-ing modern music in films like “Django” and “Gatsby.”
“It can work if used properly,” said McGavin. “If improperly used, it can be distracting, but it all depends on what is happen-ing in the scene.”

former student, Mark Borsz, who had passed away in February, made for her, said Whitenburg.
“It is very strange that the piece Mark Blew the glass for was left,” Whitenburg said. “It is very light and was packaged sitting with everything else. It makes it seem like someone we know did it, and they just didn’t have the nerve to take the piece that a great person in our community who passed away helped make.”
The investigating officer, Lieutenant John Shumaker is currently pursuing a few leads. Shumaker said he believes that the perpetrator was familiar with the general f loor plan of the building and had knowledge of the value of the items stolen.
“Someone had to see something; there was way too much stuff to handle,”
Shumaker said. “There is no doubt in my mind that someone knows exactly what they took, the tools were very specific.”
The door to the Fine Arts center has a lock that only students enrolled in classes have access to. The items were stolen from the sculpture room in the Fine Arts Center, sometime between May 1 through May 4. The items stolen were not secured in student lockers.
Whitenburg said she feels there is now a breech in the trust system the art com-munity once had.
“The art building used to be a commu-nity,” Whitenburg said. “All of this theft makes it feel like just another building on campus.”

the same time you create a culture where you encourage people to get better.”
Four members of the chapter will trav-el to Washington D.C. in August to accept the award at Conclave, where TKE’s from around the world get together for three days to build friendships and vote on regulations and changes.
Zachrich said it’s an honor being able to accept the award and recognition in front of all of the chapters in the nation because it just proves how much time and effort went into everything that it took to get there.
“It’s not just a win for us but for the college too to have a Greek chapter that is the top of all of its Greek organizations,” Zachrich said. “The honor of being able to call yourself the top TKE chapter in the nation goes to show
that all of the countless hours working and time has paid off.”
Senior Seth Cain has been a member of the fraternity for a few years and said the chapter went through some hardships to get to where it is now and things haven’t been so easy to be the top in the nation.
“It’s nice to see that hard work and deter-mination has earned us some recognition,” Cain said. “Our chapter still has a lot of accomplishments to achieve and I think we will do well to achieve them.”
Zachrich said just because the chapter has this type of recognition doesn’t mean the fraternity brothers aren’t going to be striving to do better things. He said they are going to set higher goals and will work hard to achieve them.
“We just have to go above and beyond,” Zachrich said. “Now that we’re here we just have to raise up our game.”
