DON’T LOOK DOWN

Winter months dampen moods

University plans for building renovations, overhauls in future

Olscamp, other halls slated for updates, expansions

By Eric LagattaAssistant Campus Editor

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.

Dworsky said he notices an

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

increase of students coming to the center for depression dur-ing winter.

“We do certainly see dur-ing these months individual moods tend to go down a bit,” he said.

The center has a number of methods to helps stu-dents depending on the case, Dworsky said. These include behavioral and coping meth-ods, as well as light therapy.

Cromwell agreed.“I think in some ways we

might get a little inactive and lethargic,” Cromwell said.

Both Cromwell and Dworsky said students can

combat winter blues by stay-ing active, whether it be through exercise or involve-ment in their campus organi-zations.

“The trick there is the trig-ger to get people up and going on a cold day,” Cromwell said.

If students are able to endure the bitter winter months, they will have the reward of spring.

“You get a big mix there of winter blues and spring hope,” Cromwell said.

Gonya, who grew up in Ohio, is no stranger to the state’s winters, but she noticed winters on campus are quite different from those of her childhood.

“I used to like playing in the snow but you don’t really do it on campus,” she said.

Some students only dream of taking a semester to study in another coun-try, while others make it a reality.

Education abroad has become popular with some students in recent years.

Nora Solomon, coordi-nator of Education Abroad, said the locations students travel to most are Austria, Spain and France.

The programs have become more popular with some students because it gives them an opportunity to travel while still going to school.

“Students are realizing the importance and rel-evance of study abroad in relation to their careers,” she said.

When students go over-seas for their program each of them may have a different experience.

“Some students will attend classes in a host University while oth-ers will study specialized things,” Solomon said. “Some students will go for community service and others go for internships.”

Solomon said the University is there for stu-dents during every step of their program.

“We are always here in the event of an emer-

gency,” she said. “We are here for students from the beginning.”

Sophomore Eric Batts will be studying abroad in London, England, next spring.

Batts chose to study in London so he can continue to work on his acting, he said.

“I’m going for theater and to study theory of the-ater and work on the craft of acting,” he said.

Choosing London was an easy choice for Batts.

BY: PHILLIP MARTINAs couples share kisses and romantic dinners on Valentine’s Day, they may wonder how the day is so special. Traditionally, many dedicate Feb. 14 for celebrating a romance. Many exchange valentines, share chocolate, and give flowers on this day. However, many do not know about the holiday’s origins. Many believe the holiday is named after Saint Valentine, a priest of the third century Roman Catholic Church. Throughout history, many have exchanged stories to explain the significance of Valentine. Several stories suggest Valentine was killed for helping early Christians escape Roman prisons. Romans tortured and beat Christians in prisons during this time. Another story about Valentine suggests the origin of more contemporary practices for the holiday. Valentine fell in love with a girl who visited him while he was in prison, and he had been imprisoned for marrying Roman soldiers against the will of the emperor. It is believed Valentine wrote the first “valentine” greeting – “From your Valentine”, according to this legend. Although these two legends are considered unclear in accuracy among many, Valentine remains one of the most popular saints in France and England.Once many began associating Valentine’s name with romance in the third century, it wouldn’t be until 200 years later Valentine’s Day became a holiday. Many believe the Church initially celebrated Valentine’s Day in the middle of February to Christianize the pagan festival known as Lupercalia. Then, Pope Gelasius declared the first Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14 at the end of the fifth century. Also, many offer another suggestion for celebrating the holiday in February. In the Middle Ages, many began celebrating it as a day of romance in concurrence with the bird mating season in France and England.Most notably, many consider Geoffry Chaucer’s poem The Parliament of Foules to be the first recorded association of Valentine’s Day with romance. Chaucer wrote the poem to honor the first anniversary of King Richard II of England’s engagement with Anne of Bohemia.

The Holiday Dates Back to a

Kind-Hearted Valentine Other than the holiday’s name and date, many people still wonder about other love traditions. As for the practice of exchanging valentines, historians look at Charles, Duke of Orleans. Many consider the Duke’s poem from 1415 to be the oldest existing valentine. The Duke wrote the poem to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London after getting captured at the Battle of Agincourt. For Americans, valentine exchanging began around the early 1700s. Then, printed cards gradually replaced handwritten letters by 1900. Today, around 150 million Valentine’s Day cards are exchanged annually, second most popular to Christmas cards, according to the History Channel.

exchanged annually, second most popular to Christmas cards,

according to the History Channel.

As for gift-giving, Americans adopted this tradition in the twentieth century. This tradition began with sharing boxes of chocolates and roses with a significant other. Gift giving has evolved from exchanging jewelry in the 1980s to exchanging e-cards online today. Now Valentine’s Day is also celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Australia. While Valentine’s Day is considered a good day for couples to exchange their love for one another, the day also bears a more somber side. Many singles, who are less unfortunate, celebrate Feb. 14 as Singles Awareness Day. Regardless of a person’s relationship status on Valentine’s Day, the day remains one for sharing romance because of an early Roman priest.

F ebruary tends to bring back sweet memories of decorating shoeboxes and exchanging valentines as

a young kid in school. People of all ages participate in these exchanges of affection on this” national day of love,” but have you ever wondered exactly how Valentine’s Day cards became a custom and how long this has been going on? The idea of sending valentines to loved ones can be traced back to the Middle Ages when people would sing or recite verses instead of giving actual cards. Around the fifteenth century, written cards became the new token of affection for Valentine’s Day. According to History.com, the oldest known handwritten valentine

Valentine’s Day Cards:

Messages From the Heart has become Big Businessis currently kept in a British Museum as part of a manuscript collection. The valentine dates back to the year 1415 and is a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Exchanging valentines through mail gained popularity in the 1800’s because of advancements in printing technology and because the postal service became more affordable. Factories created commercial type cards that were very simple, typically painted with black and white pictures and the inside was left blank for the card-giver to write a special message. By the end of the 1800’s, Valentine’s Day cards were made entirely by machine. History.com also tells the

story of Esther A. Howland, also known as “Mother of the American Valentine,” because she was one of the first and most successful American printers to mass-produce and sell valentines. Howlands valentines were known for being fancy as they were created with real lace, ribbons, and colorful pictures. Valentine’s Day cards that already include a loving message are also convenient for people who are not naturally affectionate to express their feelings to their loved ones. Today, greeting card companies create a large variety of Valentine’s Day cards with the intent to convey the many different messages that consumers want to give. Many companies, such as American Greetings, offer a selection of

printable cards on their website that can be customized and also convenient for those who would rather not make a trip to the store. There is also the option to send an E-card to that special someone through email and even via mobile device. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide. This finding makes the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas with 2.6 billion. Next time you’re thinking of purchasing a card for Valentine’s Day, you will know it has some history to it and it’s not just a tradition the card companies started to reel you in!

VALENTINE’S DAY!

CandyFrom Grade School to Modern Romance,

has Been Central to Valentine’s Day

BY SAMANTHA BRYAN

Imagine you are back in your elementary school days. It’s Valentine’s Day and you cannot hide your excitement.

Neither the parties at school nor the cute puppy cards from friends are what get you riled up. It is those pieces of candy inside the cards and the boxes of chocolates from your parents that make your sugar levels soar. Which raises the question, what would Valentine’s Day be without the candy and chocolates? “Marry Me.” “I Love You.” “Be Mine.” There is nothing that screams Valentine’s Day like the conversation hearts, or sweethearts. These small heart sugars were debuted in 1866 by The New England Confectionery Company. Daniel Chase created the first hearts by using a machine that would press letters on the candy according to Necco.com. These hearts are the best selling candy of the holiday. The company produces nearly 8 billion Sweethearts a year and introduces at least 10 new sayings every year.

“MARRY ME.” “I LOVE YOU.”

“BE MINE.” There is nothing that screams

Valentine’s Day like the conversation

hearts, or sweethearts.

Chocolate has been used as an

aphrodisiac, dating back as far as the

Aztec empire where they used it to purse love

interests.

All the candies are made in store and Ben Franklin even has

seasonal fudges, including a fudge made for the day of romance.

Chocolate is a must have when talking about Cupid’s Day. During the 1800’s, many doctors suggested that their patients consider eating chocolate to soothe nerves. It is no secret females love their chocolates too. Chocolate has been used as an aphrodisiac, dating back as far as the Aztec empire where they used it to purse love interests. It has become a tradition that helps increase romance and feisty behavior. If you’re after gourmet chocolates and candies, stop in to Ben Franklin Crafts, located in downtown Bowling Green across from Panera Bread.

“We have large bulk of our own fudge and Jelly Belly candies,” said owner Floyd Craft. “We sell by the pound for around $18 to $19.” All the candies are made in store and Ben Franklin even has seasonal fudges, including a fudge made for the day of romance. “We offer a special Valentine’s fudge with aremdei chocolate just for this holiday. It’s special for this month and should be able for purchase this week,” said Susan Whittaker, head of the Candy Department at Ben Franklins. “We also offer Lindor Dark chocolates and Jumbo Dark Non-Pariels.” If gourmet is not your taste, then there are always a great selection of candies and chocolates at Kroger’s, Wal-Mart, and Meijers that will cover your needs. The displays will be in eyesight as you walk through the doors and will be there until Valentine’s Day.

It really does not matter how candy and chocolates were introduced into the holiday, but Valentine’s Day just would not be the same without the delectable treats. Here are some facts about Valentine’s Day candy from the National Confectioners Association:n More than 36 million heart- shaped boxes of chocolate will be sold specifically for Valentine’s Day.

n 50 percent of women will likely give a gift of chocolate to a guy for Valentine’s Day.

n Valentine’s Day is the fourth biggest holiday of the year for candy purchases after Halloween, Easter and Christmas.

n Chocolate and candy sales have profits of nearly $1 billion during Valentine’s season.

W ith Valentine’s Day around the corner, students at Bowling Green

State University are not hesitant to report their views on what men and women should not do on Valentine’s Day. The most common thought among nearly all of the students interviewed was not to break up with or ask that special other to be your boyfriend or girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. “It is really cheesy and overdone if you ask a girl to be your girlfriend on Valentine’s Day,” said Mike Nock, a freshman studying construction management. Nock also agreed that it is not the best idea to end a relationship on this day. He said that when he made the mistake of breaking up with his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, he ended up with slashed tires. What boyfriends or girlfriends should not do does not just involve their actions

Students Voice Opinions on what not to do on Valentine’s Day

on this day; it also involves how they treat the day and their expectations. Val Arko, a sophomore studying broadcast journalism, said that the main thing men should not do is not acknowledge the holiday and that women should not expect to receive everything on Valentine’s Day. “It’s just a day,” Arko said. “Girls should stop confessing their love on Valentine’s Day and stop going overboard.” Jason Kalaycio, a sophomore studying accounting, and Tommy Burke, a freshman studying finance, both agree that women set too high of standards for this one day. “I think girls are too into Valentine’s Day because of romantic movies,” Kalaycio said. “Guy’s can’t live up to these expectations.” But not all women expect to be taken to a romantic film though. Ashley Suevas, a freshman studying early childhood education, does not think that men should take girlfriends to romantic movies on this certain day.

“I think girls are too into Valentine’s Day because of romantic

movies,” Kalaycio said. “Guy’s can’t live up to these expectations.”

“Taking a girlfriend to a romantic movie is just ironic and I know I would not like that,” Suevas said. But taking a date to a romantic movie might not be so ironic compared to taking a boyfriend to dinner with your parents. Janeen Parker, a sophomore studying communication, recalls a time two years ago when she took her boyfriend out to eat with her family. “It was ruined,” Parker said. “Taking my boyfriend to dinner with my parents was very ironic because Valentine’s Day is suppose to be romantic.” The dates that are chosen are not the only thing that can ruin the day; there are also certain gifts that you should not give to your significant other. Valentine’s Day is the time of the year where the number of candy, flowers and cards sold skyrocket; but these types of gifts may not be the right ones for a boyfriend. “I think girls should definitely stay away from cliché gifts to give to their boyfriend,” said Dana Gill, a freshman studying marketing. “You shouldn’t give flowers or chocolates to them.”Arko agrees that these types of gifts are not fit for a boyfriend. “Stay away from build-a-bears,” Arko said. “Most [Boyfriends] do not want those types of gifts.”

STEINWAY From Page 1

don’t have a radical shift in humidity.

The preliminary work to replace the HVAC is going on now, but the physical work will start in July and will take 18 months, Showell said. The total cost of the HVAC replace-ment cost $3,051,650 and is funded by the University’s state basic renovations funds, according to the resolution.

Steinways cost about $100,000 to $150,000, Showell said, and the college plans to sell some of its existing pianos as well as trading some in. The initiative is in the begin-ning stages, as the school is working on raising the money to purchase the pianos and getting to know the donors and people who might be interested in pianos, Showell said.

The college currently owns about 20 Steinways out of 133 total pianos, Showell said. The college’s piano collection is aging, with 29 pianos more than 50 years old and four pianos more than 100 years old, he said. The college will potentially purchase about

100 more pianos, depending on the preferences of the fac-ulty, Showell said.

“It’s not like we’d have to retool the whole school, but it would take about $2 million,” Showell said.

Thomas Rosenkranz, assistant professor of music performance studies, said Steinways are his favorite instrument.

“They’re amazing instru-ments because of the singing tone they have and because of the wide variety of sounds they can make,” he said.

Steinways can make any sound students can imagine, Rosenkranz said.

“The mechanics of the instrument is so seamless,” he said. “It allows for much more freedom when playing music.”

Steinways are “the last really good American made piano,” Showell said.

“They’ll last forever and that’s not true of most instru-ments,” he said.

As long as Steinway pianos are maintained and rebuilt periodically, they will last for years, Showell said. This doesn’t apply to all pianos, he said.

“We’re going to have to

spend some major money on pianos, we might as well get the best,” Showell said.

Julia Kuhlman, a freshman music education major, said she doesn’t think the college going All-Steinway will be a huge difference, but that it will be a good thing.

“There’s a definite differ-ence in the sound,” she said. “It’s a good thing that we have good quality pianos to per-form on.”

When looking for a univer-sity to attend, Kuhlman saw that the college was trying to become All-Steinway, but said it didn’t impact her decision.

“As far as learning for stu-dents goes, it doesn’t matter,” she said.

Steinways have a lot of won-derful capabilities for expres-sion in them, Rosenkranz said.

“I think if we had more Steinways then our students would benefit greatly because they would be playing on a better instrument,” he said.

Having Steinways would create more notoriety in the piano area, Rosenkranz said.

“It directly impacts piano, but I think it has a ripple effect,” Showell said. “Every student has to learn to play piano.”

Greek chapters raise funds through website‘Greeks for Good’ helps people gain donations without hosting events

By Abby WelshPulse Editor

In a matter of three weeks, Kappa Delta’s University chap-ter raised the most money for a new charity program, totaling $2,584.

The chapter was able to raise the money using a web-site called Greeks for Good, which is used to help the Greek community fundraise for philanthropy causes. The site is now being used at the University, which is the first school to use the program.

A man named Steve Good founded the program this past summer to help mobilize members of the Greek com-munity to help raise money for charity without having to host an event.

Kappa Delta advertised through Facebook posts, allowing member’s friends to click on the link to find out more about the cause see if they want to donate money, said Emma Sales, a member of Kappa Delta. The website was an easy way to spread the word and for people to donate money to Kappa Delta quickly, Sales said.

The fact that the website is an easy way to raise money is one reason Delta Tau Delta member and senior Beau Slater was inspired to bring it to the University’s campus.

“I was at a conference in St. Louis last year where Steve Good made a presen-tation about the program,” Slater said. “I was pretty impressed with how it can

help fundraise.” Chapters typically rely on

philanthropy events to raise money, so this website can help “expand our network,” Slater said.

“Eventually, we will have the capability for alumni to create their own page to help,” Slater said.

The site will help reach out-side the University’s chapters and allow alumni to donate as well.

There have been 83 people in chapters who have signed up to participate, but 23 mem-bers have actually started using it, said Jeff Kegolis, assis-tant dean of students for fra-ternity and sorority life.

The website shows each member of a chapter and how much money they’ve raised for their own causes.

“It shows the top 10 mem-bers and the top 10 teams who are currently raising the most money so everyone has an idea,” Kegolis said.

Chapters are also able to click and view other chap-ters to donate money for their event.

“Members can also raise money individually for an event or charity,” Kegolis said.

Students don’t have to be a part of Greek life in order to sign up and raise money; it is open for all students’ use, Kegolis said.

Slater decided to try and raise money individually for a personal cause outside of his fraternity’s.

“I wanted to take the oppor-tunity to raise money by

myself so I’m raising money for Children’s Miracle Network,” Slater said. “It’s a great way to give more to other charities.”

Sales have individu-ally raised $200 using the website.

“This has been a great way to help raise money outside of the community,” Sales said. “Since it’s online it’s so much easier to market and raise awareness.”

When each chapter signs up, it chooses which cause it wants. Greeks for Good will then send the money directly to the cause on a quarterly basis, Kegolis said.

“The website is pretty easy to navigate and use,” Kegolis said. “It also will help mem-bers realize that they may not even need to create an event but can just advertise for peo-ple to donate money.”

Slater said anyone is able to advertise through email, social media such as Facebook and Twitter, or connect it with an annual event.

“I just loved Greeks for Good’s approach; it isn’t done like this anywhere else,” Slater said. “I love how cause-focused it is.”

Kegolis said there is still a long way to go but this site is a step in the right direction for the Greek community.

“I think there is an ease this site will create to raise money because it is an ongoing effort,” Kegolis said. “It also will give them a way to figure out how to enhance the community through the website.”

Staff cuts will cause difficulties

I am a BG alumna, and my son graduated from BG a year ago. I know how diffi-cult it was for him to regis-ter for courses required for his degree simply because the courses either weren’t offered or were offered just once in a while. Because of this situation, he was forced to stay at the university

longer than he would have had to if the courses were offered.

I can’t even imagine what cutting 100 faculty positions will do to those students seeking courses to fulfill their requirements.

The Board of Trustees should have anticipated the adverse reactions to President Mazey’s salary increase and bonus con-sidering the state of nego-

tiations with the faculty. More than anything else, I am upset with the lack of acknowledgement from the administration of issues that are truly upsetting a large number of alumni, faculty and students.

Ignoring the concerns only makes for bitter feel-ings as it did with the Popular Culture house situation. For right now, I too will withhold any con-

tributions to the University. I love BGSU but these con-frontations really make the University look bad.

I urge the administra-tion to be more open to addressing the concerns of so many.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Many of us fight hard to improve our appearance. Some of us do this to win the approval of others. Some of us do this out of dissatisfaction with our natural appearance.

However, I believe if we learn to be comfort-able with our appearance, it will be much easier to look beyond appearance in others.

Appearance is a vain way to see people anyway. You could change your ward-robe, for example, but true friends will examine you for your character and person-ality.

Several years ago I had a

desire to alter my appear-ance. My story might weird you out, but bear with me, the story has a purpose.

Near the end of eighth grade I wanted to look goth. I became fascinated with the fashion statement.

Hair became a major part of this goth desire I developed. I wanted to grow long black hair. I wanted my hair to be slick and perfect-ly straight. I also wanted bangs long enough to cover my eyes.

I felt this way because I have always been uncom-fortable with my natural hair. Breakage and uneven-ness occurs when it grows beyond an inch. It also takes forever to grow long, straight hair.

Another part of this goth-like phase was my want-ing to have lighter skin. I developed an idea that skin

as pale as snow, but not as a sickly vampire-like com-plexion, was beautiful.

I had always thought some people’s light skin contrasted nicely with their dark hair.

I wanted to appear as this person with dark clothes. However, this alternate self I wanted to assume would only exist in my mind, like a drawing or a fictional char-

acter. I never really tried hard

enough to become this alternate self. That was probably a good thing.

Even if I ever could achieve this ideal appear-ance, I doubt I would feel happy with myself.

I have wanted to alter my appearance several times more since wanting to look goth, but not much of my person has changed. For example, I didn’t yield any more happiness when I tried to improve my appear-ance again with my new pea coat.

I began liking the fashion statement this past fall. I noticed a lot of people on campus, including people I know, wearing pea coats. Why not? We might as well

All eyes are not just watching Egypt, but are now back to looking at Tunisia two years after the Arab Springs uprisings.

This past Wednesday, the leader of the Tunisian oppo-sition party, Chokri Belaid was assassinated in front of his home in the suburbs of Tunis, the Tunisia capital. Outspoken in the name of his cause, Belaid was a law-yer, human rights activist and part of the left-leaning Democratic Patriots party.

While President Moncef Marzouki said the death of Belaid should not affect the revolution, Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali called his death an “act of terrorism” as the country erupted into pro-

tests. Belaid was an impor-tant political figure that belonged to the opposition force of the Islamist parties of Tunisia.

The death of Belaid sparked the revolution-ary fire within the citizens’ hearts, calling for the fall of the regime that has replaced the former dictatorship of former president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

As the violent protests spread throughout the coun-try, including in what was considered calm areas, police fired tear gas in order to chase away the protestors crying for a second revolution. Much like Egypt, Tunisia is no bet-ter than it was two years ago when street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest after a government agent took away his cart.

While Bouazizi’s death was not the first in thanks to the government, his death was the first spark of the

Arab Springs in Dec. 2010, a month before the rest of the Arab nations saw what the Tunisian citizens did for themselves in the name of revolution.

Two years later, Tunisia is still in the same position it was predating the revolution. While the citizens had hoped for so much when an open revolt was led, the only free-dom that had been granted to them was the freedom of expression.

In thanks to their new free-dom of expression, citizens are able to tell the Islamic-run government that they are not happy with the govern-ment. Factors that caused the unrest include being in middle of a political crisis and waiting on the cabinet to be reshuffled to include a bigger range of the political parties that represent Tunisia.

Instead of letting the vio-lence spread, Jebali suggest-ed the government be dis-

solved and instead a techno-cratic government came in until an election could take place.

But the main politi-cal party of Egypt, the Ennahada, rejected the pro-posal, saying it had not been asked if that was the path that needed to be taken.

But if a technocratic gov-ernment were to be put in place, what would the gov-ernmental body look like? A technocratic government is a short term solution until the fine layers of a governmental body can be made and put in place, including the election of a president.

The ministers that are put into place tend to be experts in the field in which they were placed, so the best of knowl-edge and resources can be utilized to an advantage. The ministers are not career poli-

Falcons win at home 2-1 Friday, but lose to Spartans 3-1 in East Lansing on Saturday By Ryan Satkowiak

Senior Reporter

The BG hockey team split its weekend series with Michigan State.

The Falcons won 2-1 Friday at home and lost 3-1 Saturday on the road.

The story of the weekend was the absence of goalie Andrew Hammond. Hammond, who started eight straight games dating back to Jan. 8 against Michigan, sustained a knee inju-ry during practice Wednesday.

How long he remains out is still unknown, although head

coach Chris Bergeron said he doesn’t think it will be for an extended period of time.

“He thought this might be the way he was going to end his career at Bowling Green,” Bergeron said. “But the indica-tions are that the next 24 hours got better. I think it’s a short-term thing. He seems to be mak-ing good strides on a daily basis.”

Freshman Tommy Burke was called into action to replace Hammond and played well, stopping 17 of 18 shots Friday night after a rocky start.

Michigan State scored on its

first shot of the game, a short-handed goal 3:28 into the first period, after Dajon Mingo turned the puck over at the offensive blue line and sur-rendered a breakaway to Greg Wolfe.

The Spartans had four more shots in the period, but they were all clustered in the last few minutes of the period.

“It was a tough first shot to have,” Burke said. “Then I think there was an 18 minute stretch when I only [faced] one shot on net. They had some flow into the game and had some shots

attempted on net. I was seeing the puck, it just didn’t hit me.”

The Falcons answered that goal 53 seconds later when Ben Murphy scored a power play goal from a bad angle at the bot-tom of the left faceoff circle.

BG went ahead for good 12:25 into the second period on a goal from Ryan Carpenter. On a two-on-one rush, he received a pass from Mark Cooper and blasted a one-timer past Michigan State goalie Will Yanakeff.

“I was just coming down the slot and I knew I was wide open,” Carpenter said. “He fed a nice

pass, he held on to it and made the [defenseman] come over and commit to him and I got a piece of it.”

The goal was also scored on the power play and extended Carpenter’s point streak to 13 games.

That streak would end Saturday night, as the Spartans rebounded to defeat the Falcons, 3-1.

Calhoun scores 19, Sealey sets career-high 12 rebounds By Alex KrempaskyAssistant Sports Editor

The BG men’s basketball team faced Ohio University Saturday in a David versus Goliath-type matchup, but was not able to take down the giant when the Bobcats went on an 11-point run to start the second half. The Falcons fell to Ohio 72-63.

Senior Jordon Crawford finally found his way back to the starting lineup against the Bobcats after starting off on the bench the past two games. Crawford would score 17 points in the game. However, senior A’uston Calhoun was the only other BG player to score in double digits with a team-leading 19 points in the game.

Four Bobcats were able to score double-digits against the Falcons’

defense, which performed below expectations.

“Ohio is one of those teams where you can’t afford to have a stretch where you don’t have good offensive possessions or turn-overs,” head coach Louis Orr said. “They went on an 11-0 run and we never really recovered from it.”

Ohio senior Reggie Keely, junior T.J. Hall, senior Walter Offutt and senior D.J. Cooper all scored 15, 12, 12 and 10 points respectively against the Falcons.

Junior Craig Sealey led the team and set a career record with 12 rebounds, eight of which were on the defensive side. His previ-ous career high mark was in 2011 against Detroit with nine rebounds.

By Max HouseholderReporter

The Falcons battled down to the wire with Western Michigan, but fell to the Broncos 55-54.

With BG trailing by two, Junior point guard Jillian Halfhill hit a three to put the Falcons up 54-53 with 44 seconds to go. The three-point shot by Halfhill was her only basket of the day, as she was 1-8 from the field.

Western Michigan would then take a 30-second timeout to col-lect themselves. They would then put the ball in the hands of Corie Buchanan who made the eventu-al game-winning shot. Buchanan was the team’s second-leading scorer with eight points.

The 5’8” junior has been a big part of the Broncos offense this season, having led the team in scoring six times. Her biggest output was a 25 point effort at Northern Arizona on Nov. 23.

This could be considered a bad loss for the Falcons, as Western was 7-15 on the season and 3-6 in the Mid-American Conference. Going into the matchup the Broncos were tied with Eastern Michigan for last in the MAC West.

BG got out to a very slow start as they fell down by as much as 14 in the first half. The Falcons were hindered by poor first-half shooting as they shot 17 percent from the field. BG was able to cut the deficit to six (20-26) to close out the first half. The surge was a result of the Falcons going on a 10-2 run to end the half.

BG got another big perfor-mance from sophomore Deborah Hoekstra, who led the Falcons with 11 points. Hoekstra was three of eight from the field and was 80 percent from the foul line. Along with Hoekstra, BG had two other players scoring in double

figures. The Falcons’ top two leading

scorers Alexis Rogers and Chrissy Steffen combined for 20 points on 6 of 20 shooting. Steffen was just 2 of 11 but added in four made free throws. The senior also had the ball in her hands with the clock running down but missed a three which would have given BG the win.

BG shot 70 field goal attempts compared to Western Michigan’s 44. The Falcons made just 19 of those 70 attempts for a 27 per-cent field goal rate. Western was 50 percent from the field as they nearly doubled BG in scoring per-centage.

The loss snaps BG’s two game winning streak while it gives Western Michigan its second win in four days. BG will continue its current three game road swing next Saturday when they face Northern Illinois.

He also scored eight points against the Bobcats.

The Falcons beat the Bobcats on the boards with 41 total rebounds in the game compared to Ohio’s 32 rebounds.

Sophomore Richaun Holmes did not block any Ohio shots on Saturday but he scored eight points off the bench. His season total remains at 56, which is three shy of Cornelius Cash’s record of 59.

With the loss, BG falls to 9-14 (4-6) on the year and Ohio boosts its record to 17-6 (8-1).

Other games in the Mid-American Conference on Saturday caused BG to fall to fourth place in the MAC East. Kent State defeated Central Michigan 72-63 to move up to third place in the East Division. Miami found itself on the losing end and fell to division leader Akron 54-50.

Buffalo defeated Northern

Illinois 59-54 in their intercon-ference matchup and thanks to Ball State’s 65-62 victory over the MAC-West leading Western Michigan Broncos, Toledo is now tied for the lead in the division with its 60-52 win over Eastern Michigan.

BG’s next game will be Wednesday at the Stroh Center against the Mid-American Conference West Division leader Western Michigan. Tip-off is sched-uled for 7 p.m.

Burke once again started in net for BG and stopped 15 of 17 shots.

“I think we showed our lack of experience of being able to close out a week-end,” Bergeron said. “We didn’t bring our game up a level … got off to a slow start and were ultimately not able to get on top of it.”

Wolfe opened the scor-ing with a power play goal midway thought the first

period. The power play was a result of a five-min-ute major to Adam Berkle for hitting from behind.

Michigan State Tanner Sorenson made it 2-0 six minutes into the second period with his ninth goal of the season.

Bryce Williamson scored late in the second period to bring the Falcons back within one. However, despite several scoring chances, the Falcons were not able to get the equal-izer on the board.

“It’s just one of those things where we didn’t deserve the bounces tonight,” Williamson said. “We had some chances to tie it up but it just didn’t happen.”

Stoll, the University will also begin renovations on the Student Recreation Center and has already begun con-structing the new Student Health Center.

The University is also planning to renovate a few of the traditions buildings.

Within the next two to four years, Moseley, University, Hanna and South Halls will be completely renovated, Krakoff said.

“Over the years we had not invested adequately in buildings, so we have a lot of buildings today that are in very poor condition that need to be upgraded signifi-cantly,” Krakoff said.

Many of the renovation projects are based the num-ber of students that use the buildings, Stoll said.

“One of the criteria we used in prioritizing proj-ects was to ensure that the projects impact the greatest number of students — par-ticularly undergraduates — as possible,” Stoll said.

There are also plans to renovate and improve some

of the student residence halls including McDonald, Offenhauer, Founders, Kreischer and Kohl, and replace the Greek housing, Krakoff said.

It is estimated that the renovations for the academ-ic buildings will cost $200 million and another $40 million to $50 million for the Greek housing and resi-dence halls.

The money will come from a variety of sourc-es, such as state capi-tol funds, fundraising, donors and debt financ-ing, Krakoff said.

Some of the buildings on campus will cost too much to renovate, Stoll said.

“Our current plan is to eventually demol-ish West Hall, Family and Consumer Sciences, the Administration building and finally the Education building,” Stoll said.

Although there will be construction all across cam-pus, all departments will benefit from the renovations and new buildings, Stoll said.

“We estimate that more than 40 individual depart-ments will be impacted by all these changes over the

course of the next 5-7 years so it will touch on nearly every corner of the University in one way or another,” Stoll said. “While it will certainly be dusty and disruptive, it will also be transformative for BGSU.”

Some students are excited about the renovations hap-pening on campus.

“I think its kind of excit-ing to have so many new things on campus in the upcoming years,” Freshman Eleana Pavlidis said. “The renovations will help bring in potential students.”

tional,” he said.Junior Reanna Farr spent

five weeks in Florence, Italy, at Studio Art Centers International Florence.

While studying at SACI Florence, Farr took art classes as well as traveling around Italy.

“I took a painting con-servation class,” she said. “I got to restore paintings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.”

Farr said she did not experience a lot of cul-ture shock, but she did have to adjust to some differences.

“It was definitely differ-ent,” she said. “Suddenly going from food with a lot of preservatives to all natural foods was prob-ably the most different. I had to go to the store

every other day.”Sophomore Suzanne

Hirsel is currently studying at Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Cisneros in Alcala de Henares, Spain, completing a part of her degree requirements for being a Spanish educa-tion major, according to an email from Hirsel.

The school Hirsel attends offers classes made up of all University students who went there to study.

Hirsel is enjoying her time in Spain, but wishes one thing was different.

“I like it, but I wish I was taking classes with natives instead of just the other students from BG,” she said. “It’s taught completely in Spanish so I guess that makes it dif-ferent from BG minus the Spanish courses offered.”

When adjusting to her new surroundings, Hirsel

admits it was a bit hard at first.

“The only thing I had to adjust to was living in a busy city,” she said. “It’s not Madrid, but with the closeness of all the build-ings, lack of green space, bus lines, plaza life and multi-stor y buildings everywhere, my suburban skills can’t really help me here, but it didn’t take long to adjust.”

Studying abroad is rec-ommended by some stu-dents who have done it.

“I definitely recommend taking the opportunity to study abroad for a semes-ter, or even a year,” Hirsel said.

The Education Abroad Office offers information sessions a few times dur-ing the week for students interested in the pro-gram. You can contact the Education Abroad Office at 419-372-0479.

Debate on bottled water sales continues

Office of Sustainability proposes use of filling stations for studentsBy Seth Weber

Reporter

Although some univer-sities have followed the trend of banning bottled water on campus, the University will not be doing so any time soon.

University Sustainability C o or d i n a t or Nic k Hennessy sa id t he University doesn’t plan on banning bottled water, but instead is giving stu-dents a choice.

He said he wants to focus on educating stu-dents about using tap and bottled water. Hennessy feels that tap water is a better way to go but understands why people use bottled water.

“I don’t utilize bottled water personally,” he said. “I’m not going to criticize or attack any-one that does because it’s a matter of individual choice.”

One of the facts Hennessy wants students to know is that tap water is “more than fine for healthy consumption.”

Using reusable water bottles is cheaper than buying bottled water, he said.

Whereas bottled water costs dollars, tap water costs “literally pennies,” Hennessy said.

He wants to give stu-dents an alternative to bottled water through the use of water bottle fill-ing stations for reusable bottles, he said. There are currently stations in

the Union and Olscamp, but Hennessy wants to expand them to buildings such as the Recreation Center and Perry Field House.

These stations make filling bottles quicker and easier than using water fountains, he said.

Michael Paulus, direc-tor of dining services, said he agrees that banning bottled water on campus does not solve the sus-tainability probem.

Students who get bot-tled water on campus get it because of its conve-nience, he said.

For this reason, Paulus said he thinks students will simply buy bottled water elsewhere if it is banned on campus.

Such is the case with sophomore Brooke Crowl. She does not normal-ly buy bottled water on campus, but goes to gro-cery stores like Wal-Mart for it instead.

Some students who buy their bottled water on campus would be upset if a ban were instituted.

Freshman Spencer Cardona said a ban on bot-tled water would be incon-

venient because people who would still want water would overcrowd the water fountains.

F r e s h m a n R o s s Hickenbottom, however, doesn’t use bottled water at all, instead using the water fountains on cam-pus.

“I think bottled water is kind of a rip off,” he said.

He said if bott led water were to be banned, he wouldn’t care, as it wouldn’t affect his life.

Even if bottled water were banned on campus, it most likely wouldn’t hurt dining services’ income, Paulus said.

“There’d be a substan-tial loss of sales, but I’m confident that the sale would move to another product,” he said.

He said instead of an outright ban on bottled water, students who dis-like bottled water and its impact on the environ-ment should take it up with the manufacturers themselves.

“I believe in taking the fight to the top,” Paulus said. “That’s where you’re going to get the most impact.”

“There’d be a substancial loss of sales, but I’m confident that the sale would

move to another product ... I believe in taking the fight to the top. That’s where

you’re going to get the most impact.”Michael Paulus | Director of Dining Services

Like many of us who didn’t work during winter break, I was soon washed away into the seas of boredom in the wake of the holidays.

I found myself resorting to increasingly tired means of entertainment to avoid wanting to return to school early.

One of these means is trawling Youtube for funny or interesting videos. A combination of clicks, considerations and mor-bid curiosity led me to an episode of “Geraldo” from the early 1990s. The show functioned much like that of Jerry Springer, but with considerably fewer Nazis and a great deal more class. The subject for the episode was where to draw the line between what is art and what is smut.

Despite my suspicions that Geraldo would pres-ent a one-sided view of the issue, the panel of indi-viduals on his show was as diverse as a bag of jelly-beans. From the infamous and controversial punk musician GG Allin to law-yers, other artists and pro-fessors; there was a rich tapestry of opinions and viewpoints.

If the show had instead been a theatrical stage, one could say all the actors played their parts to the letter. Allin ruffled feathers with his controversial lyrics

and stances, the Reverend Bud Green was escorted out of the building after attempting to light a mari-juana cigarette, the law-yer and professor argued intensely over where the line between art and smut ought to be drawn, and the audience voiced its disdain and approval of the differ-ent viewpoints respectively.

What really stuck in my mind weren’t the hairdos we now consider abomi-nable, or the coke-bottle pairs of glasses, or the fanny packs, or the loose-fitting denim shirts. What stood out to me was that 20 years later, the discourse surrounding the quintes-sential “art versus smut” argument has not changed at all.

Ever since certain soci-eties started viewing art as controversial or dan-gerous, artists of all sorts have had to fight a constant battle against censorship and repression. But in the 21st century, I think we as a society can do better at distinguishing what is art from what isn’t without denigrating the work of the artist.

I must say I never liked when the word “smut” was used in this context. “Smut” usually refers to something that is perceived as dirty, such as pornogra-phy or graphic nudity, but when it’s used in the world of art, the word is a slur in that it fails to recognize the importance of the freedom to express one’s own artis-tic self, whether that self is welcomed by mainstream

society or not.It seems what main-

stream society wants of art-ists are classical paintings such as the Mona Lisa and the cherubim of the Sistine Chapel, not works that will genuinely attempt to change the world of art and our perceptions of it. The fact is, whether we want it to be or not, art is in a con-stant state of evolution to avoid becoming irrelevant or tired.

Sometimes certain pieces challenge our most deeply held moral, religious or political beliefs, but it’s important to understand that just because a certain piece of art upsets us or seems particularly dis-tasteful, does not make it smut. Sigmund Freud once said “Civilization began when someone threw a word instead of a stone.”

So when certain pieces of art, literature or music come to our attention that make us angry, appalled or incredulous, using the word “smut” to lazily label it as distasteful becomes the proverbial stone of which Freud spoke. In a truly tolerant society, we can all accept the existence of controversial pieces of art without exuding anger toward the intentions of the author; and in an artisti-cally literate world, we can respectfully express that certain pieces of art are not our cup of tea without reducing them to filth.

try to look good while stay-ing warm in the brutal cold, right? So I got the coat dur-ing winter break.

I also wanted to appear more professional now that internships are coming up. I want to make good impressions with prospec-tive employers. I also want to show people that I am serious about wanting to be successful in the next five years. The pea coat helped me achieve part of this goal.

Immediately, I started receiving compliments on my new coat; friends start-ing saying good things. A

few other people said they also liked my scarf. You also wouldn’t believe how many people compliment-ed me when I returned to church a month ago. Someone said, “Phil is a well-dressed man.”

Believe me; I became happy that people noticed me this way. I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to pull the look off, for this was a drastic change for me in a short time span.

I’m honestly surprised no one grabbed my arm and scolded me: “Phil, you know very well you have this coat for attention. This is not who you are.”

Although I felt good about myself, this feeling was superficial. Underneath

the wool, I’m still the same Phil. I may look better from the outside, but inside, I’m still insecure about myself and weak in certain areas of my life.

In the end, I will con-tinue wearing my new coat. My goth-like self will remain a figment of my imagination.

However, you and I should bear something in mind when wanting to improve our appearance out of vain desires. As the author of Ecclesiastes said, many things we seek to obtain are a “vanity and striving after wind.”

and Tunisia were for a bet-ter, brighter future, it has not happened yet. But if the citizens keep fighting when they’ve felt like it’s not work-ing, the country will eventu-ally become what they want it to. It won’t happen today or tomorrow, but change will gradually take hold.
