AWESOME AUSSIES

“Go out and execute”Falcons determined to face tough opponents, play a winning season

By Brittany BauerReporter

Senior Kasie Fisher and junior Elaine Abazia are two students who are taking opportunities to grow in their majors and their personal life through seasonal jobs and shadowing this summer. Fisher studies photography at the University and has been in the program for two years ever since she switched from graphic design. Even though Fisher did not start off in photography, she has still always had a passion for it.

“It wasn’t practical for me at first,” Fisher said. “But when I had to make that decision to change my major, it seemed like the right one.” Fisher said she has been interested in photog-raphy ever since she would see parents come and shoot event photos at her school almost 10 years ago. One of these photographers happened to be Fisher’s neighbor, Annette Bryant, who she is now shadow-ing this summer around the Cincinnati area to gain more experience. Fisher has had the chance to photograph different weddings and help set up shoots while working with Bryant. In addition, Fisher said she has a very trustwor-thy relationship with Bryant and that Bryant trusts her with many tasks such as photographing the grooms-men by herself at a wedding. “She would just send me off on my own, so I was excited that she was able to trust me with doing that,” Fisher said. Even though Fisher is gaining photographic experi-ences this summer, she is not counting it as an actual internship and said that internships are not mandatory for her major. “We can do an internship but it’s not required,” Fisher said. “We take it upon ourselves to learn in the real world.” Fisher plans to spend her upcoming last year at the University to prepare for her final portfolio once she completes her current shadowing experience. In addi-tion, Fisher hopes to build a portfolio thesis for a BFA showcase where she can be selected to display up to 10 of her most important photos as well. “I feel like I know the world differently through pho-tography,” Fisher said. “I like being able to see the world through a lens.” In Florida, Abazia is currently working at Disney World as a result of her previous internship through the

A conference championship is something that will always be in an athlete’s memory, but with championships come expectations and pressure.The Falcons have earned these expectations and excitement with their Mid-American Conference Championship season one year ago, but they are focusing on the task at hand. “The biggest thing is that it’s always great to win your first championship, that’s fan-tastic, it’s super, it’s exciting especially when you haven’t done it in a very long time,” new head coach Dino Babers said. “But like all things in life, men and people are skeptical of things.” No matter what the skeptics say, right now the expectations are high and the Falcons are the team to beat, according to the media; they were picked as the MAC favorites.“The first time I saw a media poll, they picked us last and said we wouldn’t win a game,” Babers said, reflecting on his first season at Eastern Illinois. “We won the conference.” That prediction doesn’t come as much of a shock as the team returns 16 starters and five All-MAC honorees from last season’s MAC Champions. “Our number one goal is to go undefeated. We know we have tough opponents on our schedule but we know what this team is capable of,” quarterback Matt Johnson said. “We know if we come out each week with great intensity and great focus we should be able to handle anything that is thrown our way.” The team’s schedule consists of games against Indiana University, the University of Toledo and the University of Wisconsin. The Toledo and Wisconsin games are both on the road for the Falcons. There is a label and certain amount of respect that comes along with the Hoosiers and Badgers in the college football landscape, but Johnson believes it’s just another game. “They can be from the SEC or the Big Ten but as soon as the ball is kicked it’s just football again,” he said. “Once you get over the fact that they have a big label and all that, it’s just football and you have to go out and execute.” Although the Falcons have two games against Big Ten opponents on the schedule, the game that the players and many of the fans anticipate is the game on the road against the University of Toledo. The Falcons have not defeated the Rockets since 2009 but came very close this past season, losing 28-25. “We have definitely circled that game on our schedule; we circle it every year,” John-son said. “We got off to such a slow start last year but we were able to fight back. If we wouldn’t have started off so slow we think we would have been able to beat them. We try not to put a lot of pressure on ourselves because we know it’s a rivalry game and we know it’s a lot of expectations... we just want to go out there and play ball.”

For senior linebacker DJ Lynch, this game is even more special since he has never defeated the Rockets. “That’s going to be a big game especially for us seniors. They have been getting the best of us the past four years,” Lynch said. “If we

can get them at their place it would be even more special.”

The Falcons have some tough games on their schedule, but with those games comes the chance

to exceed the expectations put upon them and the chance to prove the critics wrong.

“There’s a respect that goes along with doing something twice,” Babers said. “If you get into a battle and you whoop somebody,

then you go back to that battle and you whoop them again. That closes the door on

any chance of them beating you.”

Disney College Program that she completed in Spring 2012. Abazia is a computer sci-ence major and said she originally wanted to work at Disney World because she had always been a fan and has taken trips there with her family for many years. “Even though the intern-ship was far away from where I live, I knew it would be worth it,” Abazia said. Abazia works as a ride operator for Rockin’ Roller Coaster and is responsible for tasks such as interact-ing with people in line and loading and unload-ing people onto the ride. Abazia said being a ride op-erator has been helpful as

a computer science major because it has allowed her to work with the Imagi-neers and learn different mechanics of the ride. “We have to know how the ride works in order to run the ride,” Abazia said. Abazia hopes to get an internship with the Imagi-neers after she graduates in 2016. Furthermore, Abazia said that working at Disney World has allowed her to meet people from all around the world and learn more about interacting with people. “When I first started, I was shy around people that I didn’t know,” Abazia said. “Now presentations and public speaking are noth-

ing for me.” Abazia said that having to interact with customers has also taught her what to do whenever people are dissatisfied. “They don’t always understand why you can’t help them,” Abazia said. “The more options you give someone and the more calm you are with them, the less they will yell at you.” Fisher and Abazia both show that summer is a time for students to not only enjoy themselves, but also to do things that will help them grow and enhance the college phase of their life in return. “I am grateful for the learning experience,” Fisher said.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014 3THE PULSE

By Blake HowellReporter

From the time we are born, we automatically begin to probe and prod our brains and the brains of others, desperately searching for the two biggest questions of the universe: where do we come from and what is our purpose? We look to history, we look to science, and we look to the stars in the hopes of understanding where we came from, to explore the most inner workings of our minds, in search of the key that unlocks all the doors. Unfor-tunately, we rarely get to see more than fractions of exactly how far our minds will take us, as it is extremely difficult to manifest these endless thoughts of wonder into words or im-ages. But Luc Besson’s 2014 action/sci-fi film “Lucy” utilizes cutting-edge visuals, subliminal message-like cut scenes (among other non-diegetic elements) and a stunning performance by Scarlett Johansson to turn what is scientifically unknown into a tale of beautiful wonder. “Lucy” is among several oth-er films to play on the theory, myth, etc., of how humans only use around 10 to 15 percent of our cerebral capacity. A youth-ful and free spirit, to put it delicately, named Lucy (Scar-lett Johansson) is forced into hiding a package of a new drug within her stomach. The bag accidentally breaks and leaks and Lucy’s mind is thrust into a world of endless knowledge and power that goes far beyond that of any other human. How-ever, the drug, while helping her stretch all corners of her mind, is also killing her and Lucy must find a way to stay alive long enough to reach 100 percent of the brain’s potential in order to pass on what she

knows before she “dies.” This film was all about its main character, as the title sug-gests. Scarlett Johansson did an excellent job (for the most part) in portraying a normal woman who transcends through mil-lions of years of evolution in just over 24 hours. She begins the film as the stereotypical blonde, living in a foreign country to be adventurous and spontaneous. After the bag of drugs is popped, we instantly see a switch in character; Lucy is no longer the blonde living abroad with rich parents, but is now a butt-kick-ing and stone-cold, calculating being of immense power and knowledge. By the end of the film, Johansson’s character is nothing short of god-like in her abilities and composure. That said, the film doesn’t make the immediate switch in a way to where it seems like they’re cut-ting corners. Rather, we see Lucy slowly detach herself from the “obstacles” that make us human as she reaches higher percent-ages of her brain (which the film shows through non-diegetic cut scenes). As she begins to realize that love, pain, fear or any other emotion or weakness is trivial and only serve as illusionary blocks, we see her reminiscing in the nostalgia of what it was like to be human, something she will

never know again. We see this most of all when she calls her mother for the last time, sadly but calmly pouring her heart out to her, thanking her for every kiss on her forehead, as she knows love and true human care for another is a thing of the past. The beloved Morgan Freeman also appears in the film; as usual, he lends his calm and humble voice for fantastic narration and storytelling. However, as I mentioned earlier, this film is really about one person, Lucy. Freeman’s character, Professor Norman, only serves as the es-sential humanity and scientific understanding necessary for such a perplexing concept. As a narrator would, Freeman’s char-acter guides the viewer through plot and complicated theories. Although the film’s concept is complicated, it is still, at face value, nothing more than a summer blockbuster. The entire film utilizes fairly simple and straightforward shots and angles, peppered with quick scenes of action. To be honest, most view-ers might look at many of the scenes and be turned away by the intense action and comput-er-generated visuals; again, it seems to be nothing more than another Michael Bay film with guns and explosions. However, if you look closely, this film does an excellent job matching its vari-ous techniques to its concept. The brain is an extraordinary thing; it is nothing more than tissue connected by electrical impulses and nerve endings capable of long and compli-cated thought, the ability to gain and retain new information at rapid speeds, and above all, the capability of endless imagina-tion. “Lucy” does a fantastic job at symbolizing the real-life brain, cutting back and forth, and gain-ing new information with every

quick step. This effect is espe-cially achieved in the subliminal message-like cut scenes of life’s creation, reproduction and death, as well as the sporadic cuts to black showing nothing more than the current percent-age of cerebral capacity Lucy is able to control. As a result of these cut scenes, accompanied by hauntingly beautiful music, by the end of the movie my brain felt like a computer download-ing files of genetic and aesthetic portrayals of imagination and how we came to be. The film blends the science and beauty of our origins and the unknown so well that at the end you will feel a connection to humankind and the universe as far as you will let your mind take you. I only give Luc Besson’s film “Lucy” a B because there are many who will focus on the

unrealistic nature of this film. Sure, some of the effects and abilities may seem completely blown out of the realm of real-ism; but again, our minds are endless pools of imagination and potential. Do not reflect on the discontinuity of realism within this movie, but encour-age yourself to instead imag-ine these things are possible, because in all truth, we don’t know what is and what isn’t possible when it comes to our minds and the universe. “Lucy” is a symbol of what is scientifi-cally and beautifully unknown told through the only thing as vast as the universe itself, our imaginations. Go see “Lucy” this weekend, or today, and be blown away by this summer’s best movie to date.

It’s not rare for an international artist to reach the U.S. Top 100 Billboard charts. In the past few years, English artists have been the ones to usually grab these spots. La Roux’s “Bulletproof” in 2009, Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team” in 2011 and Sam Smith’s “Stay with Me” in 2014 have all spent time at the top of the charts. But now a group of Aussies are giv-ing the British artists a run for their money. Australian vocalist and guitar-ist Luke Hemmings started post-ing covers on YouTube in 2011; soon, classmates Michael Clifford (vocals and guitar) and Calum Hood (vocals and bass guitar) joined together and 5 Seconds of Summer was born. The band of-ten goes by the shortened version 5SOS. After watching their viewer counts skyrocket to over 600,000, the trio decided to enlist drum-mer Ashton Irwin to complete the band. They quickly gained popularity, allowing the band to both open and headline shows across the world. The band released their debut album in the United States on July 22, 2014. I ventured out to pur-chase the album at Target since they were selling a deluxe version

that included four exclu-sive tracks for the same price that most stores were selling the regular

version. If the shelves were any indication of the popularity of 5SOS, then you better be ready for an Aussie invasion. The shelves at the first Target I visited were completely empty, so I swung by another one and was able to score the last copy at the store. I was anxious to see how their debut album held up to all of the hype. To be honest, it’s hard to put 5SOS into a definite genre. Some like to call them your “typical boy band.” However, these boys have talent—they play all their own instruments and each member brings their own dynamic vocals to the group. They wrote 15 out of the 16 tracks on the album. They list Blink 182, Green Day, All Time Low and Boys Like Girls as their influences. That being said, the album never feels like they are trying to imitate these influences, which gives them their own unique sound. Additionally, they have grabbed the attention of some heavy hitters to assist them on this album, with a song being written by the Madden brothers (Good Charlotte) and songs co-written with Alex Gaskarth (lead vocalist of All Time Low) and producer/writer John Feldmann (The Used, Plain White T’s and Story of the Year). The album has a good mix of songs right for any mood you might find yourself in. “Amnesia,” the track penned by the Madden

brothers, is a slower song filled with sorrow about a broken heart. “Everything I Didn’t Say” has the same vibe as “Amnesia” but with a slightly faster tempo. The first single off the album, “She Looks So Perfect,” is the song that hit the radio airwaves and caught the attention of listeners. This song might not be the most lyrically or musically strong for the band, but it does its job of getting stuck in your head and having you hum along. Other songs like “18,” “Good Girls” and “Heartbreak Girl” play on the happy-go-lucky vibe and deal with typical teenage angst. These songs could easily be over-looked as just another bunch of cliche teenage anthems; howev-er, the band has a way of writing each song with a clever twist that shows off their great sense of

humor. “18” points out the troubles of wanting to grow up as we hear “my mom still drives me to school” while also joking about not getting too wild and turning into Charlie Sheen. In “Good Girls” they state, “good girls are bad girls that haven’t been caught.” This is a song that is best listened to through head-phones due to the whisper ef-fects that add a unique dynamic level to the song. With creatively constructed lyrics throughout the album, each track feels fresh and inde-pendent from one other while still remaining cohesive. Guitar riffs are kept edgy when they are needed for an uptempo song, but the band knows when to be subtle, allowing the vocals to

really shine through in slower songs. Irwin’s drumming skills really stand out in tracks like “Don’t Stop,” “Kiss Me Kiss Me,” and “Long Way Home.” This debut album is surpris-ingly impressive for a group of four boys between the ages of 18 and 20. It’s one of those albums that you pop into the car on a nice summer day and just cruise around listening to it. I’m excited for the future potential that 5 Seconds of Summer holds. It’s nice to see a band that is musi-cally gifted and not manufactured like a majority of artists are on the radio today. Hopefully, 5SOS is able to pave the way for a future generation of musicians that do things their way. So, if you’re look-ing for an upbeat album that will have you singing along, check out

There are a variety of ex-periences that one has throughout his or her col-lege career to enhance this phase of life and make it one to remember, whether it is just living up dorm life or becoming involved with organizations on campus. These are all vital aspects to making the University feel like a home away from home. However, another experience that has en-hanced my time at the Uni-versity is having a campus job at BGSU Postal Services. I started working at the

post office two years ago as a sophomore. I regretted not having a job my fresh-man year, so I decided that I would try to take advan-tage of the helpful employ-ment resources available to me and use WorkNet to get a job during my sec-ond year on my own. I wanted to be able to live on my own and still have an income through my own job, so I figured why not? I was bound and de-termined to find a job, so I applied for as many jobs that I qualified for and one of those jobs happened to be the campus post office. It seemed like an easy job, so I went ahead and post-ed my resume to the job opening. Just like that, I received a phone call from my future boss a few days

later and I was hired right on the spot after a brief phone interview. Just like anyone, I was a little nervous as I walked across campus from my dorm at Founders to the post office on that first day. I hoped that I wouldn’t screw up or lose anyone’s mail. Everyone greeted me very warmly as soon as I walked in and I immedi-ately felt welcomed at my new job. My boss and the other people I worked with were also very helpful with getting me adjusted to my new job through success-ful on-the-job training that I got paid for as well. They were all very understand-ing of the fact that I was a new employee who was still learning the ropes, and I was very grateful for how

much they accepted me and made me feel part of the “post office family.” Because of my job at the post office, I have had a chance to work with some amazing people and get to know the secretaries across campus. There are secretar-ies on the route who I will just stand and talk with for awhile. Whenever I am hav-ing a bad day, seeing those secretaries on the route always puts a smile on my face. The fact that I can serve people across campus through my job also makes me feel like I am helping to brighten people’s days, even if it’s just from drop-ping off someone’s weekly issue of People Magazine. Senior Natasha Ingersoll is also one of many students who find various benefits

with having a job on cam-pus. Ingersoll is working at the bookstore this summer and has been working there for over a year. “During the summer it’s kind of slow but during the year, it’s pretty busy,” In-gersoll said. “I like it better duirng the school year be-cause there’s someone else here that I can talk to.” Even though there is less action at the bookstore in the summertime, Ingersoll still interacts with custom-ers at her job and being there in general. “I talk to a lot of custom-ers,” Ingersoll said. “I love doing that.” Ingersoll also said that she has had the opportu-nity to make some life-long friends because of her cam-pus job.

“It’s been a great experi-ence to meet people and learn more about campus,” Ingersoll said. With all this said, I high-ly encourage all students to take advantage of get-ting a job on campus. You will get to experience the campus in a whole new light and form some great relationships while also getting paid to support yourself away from your parents. Hey, what college kid doesn’t want a fun way to get involved and serve others on campus while getting paid and lessening their chance of becoming a “broke college kid”?

When I was six years old, I received what I wanted so incredibly bad—a chance to pick out my very own dog. While entering the Lu-cas County Dog Warden, my mother reminded me, “Pick out a small dog, Taylor.” Now, if you can remem-ber yourself at six years old you can probably

remember the way that you did the opposite of everything your parents ever told you to do; and on that day, I did it too.

As I opened up the door to the room filled with puppies barking, my eyes met with a spe-cific puppy that wasn’t making a single peep. Her wet noise pressed up against the cage bars with her eyes piercing me. I knew at that very moment I needed that dog. “Taylor, I told you to pick a small dog,” my mother said. But with my persistence

and my witty reply of “but she is small now,” I was able to persuade my mother into letting me bring home a golden re-triever chow mix with the fur of a lion. I named her Puppy—and yes, I know what you’re all thinking—“how origi-nal”—but it’ll have to be a story for another time. Puppy became my everything. She was always there no matter what. She was there to greet me every time I came home. She was there to sit next to me when I needed some ears to talk

to. And, unlike most peo-ple, she was pretty good at keeping my secrets. The best part about Pup-py was that we were able to grow older together day by day, and that’s what we did for 14 years. Last year, it became harder for me to watch her grow older. She wasn’t as active anymore, less likely to get up to meet me at the door and always seemed to be so tired. I knew this time would come, but it was hard for me to handle. Puppy became really sick, sicker than my family

could handle. We held on for a long time, trying to get her bet-ter, but it was something out of our reach. After months of trying to help Puppy, we decided the only way to help her was to finally allow her to be pain free. Unfortunately, we had to put her down. My everything was gone and I just felt so much pain. People often say that ani-mals are “just pets.” But for many of us, our pets become our family, and losing a family member is never easy. So understand that when

losing a beloved pet, it is not unusual to feel over-whelmed with the amount of pain and sorrow.

Being able to accept your pain and allowing your-self time to fully grieve are great steps in coping and understanding how to move forward. Some-day, you’ll be able to smile when thinking of memo-ries rather than crying.

Just remember, all dogs go to heaven.

Among the numerous changes for the Falcons, the goal is still to win… a lot. Following a 10-4 season, the Falcons’ first 10-win season since their 11 victories in 2003, Bowling Green understands that 2014 is a new year and they are looking to come back even better than before.

“What we did last year really doesn’t matter. This is a new year, but it’s going to be a big year,” senior line-backer DJ Lynch said.

Not only do the players feel this will be a big year, but the coaching staff is extremely confident heading into the 2014 season.

“My hat goes off to coach Clawson. He did a fabulous job taking the program from where it was. But, while ten wins are impressive, there were still four losses,” head coach Dino Babers said. “I really believe we’re going to take this to a different level that it hasn’t been and that’s no disrespect to anyone. We’re striving to be the best we can possibly be.”

Babers and his players understand this will be an unquestionably tough task, but they are confident in the veteran leadership of the returning Falcons.

The upperclassmen as a whole, including redshirt junior quarterback Matt Johnson and redshirt senior

linebacker DJ Lynch, will play a critical role on each side of the ball for the Falcons in 2014.

“[DJ Lynch is] a grown man. This guy’s not a young man, but a grown man and he carries himself that way,” Babers said. “His leadership along with Matt [Johnson] and the other seniors is going to be critical because this is their football team and we will go as far as they want to go together.”

Lynch understands that his role this season will be as crucial as ever, but he is set on just doing his part to help the team win each game.

“I’m not really a rah-rah guy, I just try to lead with my play,” Lynch said. “I try to hold people accountable, but I’m just doing what I have to do to help my team win.”

While the performance of a first-year coach and vet-eran leadership will be critical for Falcon success, it will be the offense that looks to lead Bowling Green to back-to-back Mid-American Conference championships.

“Offensively, he’s [coach Babers] going to be expect-ing a lot from us,” quarterback Matt Johnson said. “We have all done a great job of meshing together, I just have to execute the offense and get first downs.”

The defense too, understands that the sky is the limit for the offense and look forward to plenty of great games from them this season.

“We get off the field and let them do their thing,” Lynch said. “I’m expecting them to light it up and

score 40 to 50 points per game.” Thus, the Falcons have seen the coaching staff

change, the personnel change and the mindset change, but the goal is the same: win. And win a lot.

“We’re trying to win the MAC Championship. Anything short of that would be a disappointment,” Lynch said.

Nick Rose, a BGSU National Recruit from England, accidentally took the wrong plane to campus, and ended up

in Bowling Green, KY., home of the Western Kentucky University. The WKU track coach convinced him to stay and he went on to place in the mile at the NCAA meet.

Highest draft picks in the NBA from the MAC Conference were from Bowling Green (Nate Thurmond, third overall pick, and Antonio Daniels, fourth overall pick).

Football fans are starting to get their fantasy leagues together for the season. It is a time of research and figuring out which players they want on their team and who will take them to victory. High schools are getting ready to start having their teams in camps to prepare them for the upcoming games and possible playoffs. That’s right, it’s training camp time. It’s what every football fan likes to hear, watch and predict about who is going to win. Week one of the National Football League was last week. Over the weekend, though, the sports world heard news that might have been a shock for some and not so much surprise for others. According to Fox Sports and Sports World, Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, was tempted to draft Johnny Manziel to the team, but decided to pick lineman Zack Martin instead.

The reason behind declining to choose Manziel was because it would not have made sense for Cowboys to have him and Tony Romo, their current quarterback, working together. As many sports fans know, Manziel is the newest addition to the Cleveland Browns for the season as quarterback and was at Texas A&M. He was the num-ber 22 draft pick for 2014. The Browns started training camp and their first day in Berea on Saturday, and Manziel will have to compete against Brian Hoyer to get into their star quarterback spot. Hoyer, according to the Cleveland Browns website, had an ACL injury and had a bit of a rough start during camp. But, as long as Hoyer continues to improve from day to day, the Browns will have no problem keeping on the field. According to their site, he had a much better day on Sunday then he did on Saturday and the ball stayed in the air and not on the ground. The Browns will keep evaluating the film throughout the camp to see what is going on with Manziel.

In other Browns news, Josh Gordon hired an at-torney in order to fight his indefinite ban under the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He was in a rehab facil-ity after being arrested for driving while impaired. According to the Browns website, this will be the third time he has been in trouble under the rules. His at-torneys are trying to get his sentence appealed, but if he loses he will have to wait a year before being able to play. Meanwhile, he is currently practicing with the Browns in training camp and has been making quite a bit of plays. If the Browns can get it together, then they may have a chance of turning it around. Only time will tell whether Jones should have drafted Manziel or if he will make Cleveland stronger in the long run. And only time will tell whether or not Gordon will play this season. Either way, if Cleveland does what it needs to, they will have a chance of not only having a good football team but making the city proud of more than just one sport.
