Some Graduate Student Senate members criticized the University administration’s rela-tionship with the senate at the second general meeting Friday afternoon.

Several senators said the administration sometimes wastes the senate’s time by bring-ing issues to GSS that the admin-istration has already decided on.

Ryan Bronkema, senator for the higher education admin-

“They had already decided on no smoking but they came and asked us what we thought about it just because I think they thought it was cute or because democracy needs to be practiced or something,” Bronkema said

Students are often told not to bring electronics into class, but Heather Muir has a philosophy of BYOD.

Muir, lecturer in the sports management department, encourages students to “Bring Your Own Device,” so they can use them during class.

She introduced Twitter in the classroom in 2012 because a col-league in Australia was using the social media tool in his class.

She uses the social media site to teach her students how to use Twitter for more than just talking to friends.

“I’m trying to introduce the stu-dents to thinking about Twitter for professional networking, not just

Muir teaches her students how to use Twitter since she uses it fre-quently in her class.

“I encourage [students] to set up a professional account,” she said.

Freshman Matthew Cooper set up a professional account because of Muir’s class.

Sleep is something every stu-dent needs, but how they fall asleep can differ from student to student.

Director of the Wellness Connection Faith Yingling has college student-friendly tips to help fall asleep.

“Having a sleep ritual before bed can help students fall asleep,” Yingling said. “It’s hardest for college students, where you have to wake up

at the same time and go to sleep at the same time, even on weekends.”

There are many things a stu-dent can do to keep a routine, including having a comfortable bed and pillow and a cold envi-ronment, Yingling said.

“Having a sleep-conducive environment is key,” Yingling said. “Some things students can use to fall asleep is listening to white noise, music, reading before bed … a lot use fans.”

The LA Times posted an arti-cle highlighting different prod-

ucts people can buy who are having trouble falling asleep. One product mentioned was White Noise Machine by Sound Oasis priced at $59.99.

Mazey to speak at student government meeting

University President Mary Ellen Mazey will be coming to the Undergraduate Student Government meeting to discuss upcoming events with representatives tomorrow.

Speaker Katie Post is excited to hear her perspec-tive on what’s happening with the University.

“The president comes every year to speak with USG,” Post said. “Mazey is going to be updating us on what is happening University-wide, which includes

the University’s master plan and anything she wants to update us on.”

During the presentation, senators and cabinet members can ask Mazey questions. Some of the questions have already been submitted ahead of time.

“One question is in line with the goal to increase enrollment and retention,” Post said. “It is what are the efforts being made to keep and retain non-traditional students.”

The question was submitted by the Non-Traditional Senator Amy Puffenberger.

Post encourages students to come to the meet-ing, however they won’t be able to directly ask ques-tions to Mazey.

“It’s in our bylaws that only people in USG can speak during the presentation,” Post said. “They can speak with USG before to submit questions they would like to hear.”

Besides Mazey coming to speak, the meeting will go on as usual and the senate will go over the regular agenda and reports, Post said.

The two named their business after their boss, Manfred Weigl.

“We added the word ‘works’ at the end because we do a lot of quirky and fun things, so it completed the name,” Naplan said.

Blasko co-oped at LifeFormation, a local manu-facturing company, twice and then at Rockwell Software in Cleveland. He ended up working for LifeFormation after graduation for five years before he and John started Weigl Works.

“The best memory at the University would have to be my co-op opportunities because it helped me apply classroom work with real work experience,” Blasko said. “[LifeFormation] definitely helped shaped my career.”

Naplan and Blasko didn’t only gain experience at the internship, but sought it in different organizations on campus as well.

Blasko took four or five the-ater classes where he was able to help with the production of shows as credit and worked at BG24 News with audio and tech directing.

Naplan participated in video editing while interning at LifeFormation.

Naplan and Blasko didn’t do it alone, their professors moni-tored them along the way.

“Gene Poor was a huge mentor for both of us,” Blasko said. “They helped us a lot with critical thinking and it’s awesome that we still maintain these relationships we’ve built with them over the years and now they are our top customer.”

Gene Poor, instructor in the Marketing Department, owner of LifeFormation and

creator of the University’s VCT Program said the two came into their major with natural born skills.

“They were brilliant before I even touched them,” Poor said.

It was great for Poor to be able to work with them because it allowed him to become one of their customers, he said.

Micromanaging his interns and employees was some-thing Poor tried to stay away from, Kaplan said.

“He gave you an idea and let you run with it,” he said. “He fully trusted the students he hand picked to work for him and encouraged you to do the best with your skills.”

Blasko and Naplan kept calling each other to ask for advice on certain projects they were working on sepa-rately when they decided it was time to work together.

“Our skills both compli-mented each other, so it

only made sense to partner together,” he said. “It was an overwhelming two to three years when we were trying to [jump-start] our business.”

In 2011, their business took a leap of faith and they pitched their product to Chuck E. Cheese.

“We figured, hey, we have everything you guys do in one easy control panel that is up to date,” Blasko said.

It was first time in 25 years Chuck E. Cheese updated its animatronic systems, which Blasko said “really helped establish our product.”

Their electronics were placed in 800 to 1,000 other Chuck E. Cheese’s.

“This was really a big tran-sition for us because later on we landed clients with Disney and Universal studios,” Blasko said.

Since the two travel all around the nation, they

were new users of an American Express program called ReceiptMatch, which links images of receipts to online statements. This was one main reason why American Express was so interested in featuring them in its commercial.

“I use American Express a lot, so this made sense,” Blasko said.

Since Weigl Works does not have an official building, Blasko and Naplan had to figure out where would be best to shoot the video and decided LifeFormation was the best fit.

“A lot of what we make are specific electronics and LifeFormation has been a great customer for us,” Blasko said. “We also have another main customer in Bowling Green and [since] we are both graduates of the University, it felt right.”

Shooting a commercial

was very new and exciting for the two, but required long hours in front of a camera.

“It was very exciting and fun, but it was also very interesting because we stood in front of the camera for a good 24 hours for different shots, which became quite tir-ing,” he said. “It was well worth it, though.”

The commercial is aired on television and on radio through multiple networks.

“It has helped our busi-ness a substantial amount, which we are grateful for,” Blasko said.

While the commercial was a memorable experi-ence for the two, they are blessed with or without it.

“No two days are the same,” Naplan said. “Its nice to see the blue print on paper come to life that touches everyone in a different way.”

during the meeting. “I don’t think that’s a great use of my time.”

Bronkema asked the Senate Executive Committee to only bring up future issues that the senate actually has a say in.

President Lingxiao Ge said during the meeting that the SEC always asks the administration if the outcome of an issue is able to be changed before bringing it to the GSS’s attention.

“We did ask if there was any possibility to change [the no-smoking decision] and unfortunately most of the answers were no,” Ge said.

Former president of GSS David Sleasman said the majority of senators agreed with the no-smoking policy when the administration surveyed the senate last year.

Sleasman was on the committee that recommended the policy to President Mary Ellen Mazey. He said he did not think the administration had decided on the policy yet when they brought it to GSS.

The senate voted to conditionally sup-port the smoking policy in 2012 but changed their decision and revoted to write a letter to President Mazey instead, Ge said. The administration announced the policy before GSS was able to write the letter which angered some senators, she said.

Sociology Sen. Emily Schondelmyer said during the meeting that the admin-istration should still bring issues to GSS to be voted on but should say if a deci-sion has already been made.

“We’re here meant to act as a govern-ing body and they’re coming here to ask us our position,” Schondelmyer said. “Even though we might not be able to change it, it’s good to take a stance as a body to say no we don’t agree with this or yes we do agree with this as a gradu-ate student senate.”

Treasurer Michael Salitrynski said during the meeting that the senators’ requests were reasonable but he does not think the administration will be upfront about whether they have already made a decision.

“I have never been to a university where I have been stymied so much by an administration with their rhetoric; they’re relentless,” Salitrynski said. “I think our job is more to sift through that and to help each other understand what it actually means than to expect them to give us the answers.”

Bronkema recommended GSS write a letter to President Mazey voicing its concerns.

“If that’s how we feel and that’s what it’s like then I think the president should see it in text and I’m happy to put my name on it,” he said.

The next GSS meeting will be hosted Oct. 4 in the McFall Gallery from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

it’s time to balance world with love, respect

Racism against Miss america too extreme

I was raised Catholic from the time I was eight. I went to church every week, to a catholic school, prayed the Rosary with my great grandparents— the whole nine yards.

However, I never got along with all of the teachings pushed at me. I always stood out and made my opinions on certain issues known.

Now, Pope Francis is saying what I have thought for years: Where is the love?

The pope recently announced his displeasure with those who ostracize and condemn the gay com-munity. As I read an article on the New York Times’ web-site, this quote from the head of the Catholic Church stuck out to me, “We have to find a new balance.”

Now, the pope wants to heal and so do I. From my viewpoint, there is nothing to forgive the LGBT community for and this is, again, where the pope and I split off on dif-ferent paths. That’s not the point, though.

If the head of the Roman Catholic Church can stand up and admit the hatred thrown around by certain people toward a group of individuals is wrong, why can’t everyone else see that too?

Everyone is equal. Stop hat-ing others based on their life choices. They probably don’t care who anyone else loves,

so why does anyone care who they love?

There is no reason to say someone who loves someone of the same gender as him-self or herself is defective in anyway. They are the same as any heterosexual person: They eat, sleep, breath, live and love. By that logic, how can people hate other people?

This is the 21st century. We do not live in the 1950s. It is time for a change.

Everyone needs to accept everyone else.

Yes, I honed in on the LGBT community and the hatred they are shown, but I’m also applying this article to all groups who are “hated on.” Groups I reference are reli-gious, ethnic, political, etc.

We are all the same. We are all human. No one gets to say he or she is better than anyone else is.

The world would be a sig-nificantly better place if there was a deficit of narcissism.

I wish everyone was blind for a day. I don’t mean that as an insult, but if no one had the ability to see, I believe we would see a spike in respect and a sudden loss of interest in what others look and act like.

Previously, I bluntly stated that everyone is the same, yet by the same token, each of us is unique in many ways. No two people are exactly alike, animalistic instincts aside. Therefore, prejudices should not happen because no one matches perfectly with any-one else.

If no two people are the

While I don’t really care about Miss America and pageants, I do care about something that has happened recently involving Miss America.

Being American doesn’t mean you have to be white. At one point, most families had the first generation American born into their family, much like Nina Davuluri is herself?

The woman crowned Miss America doesn’t fit a lot of the guidelines Americans have to who exactly should be Miss America. Davuluri, who is Indian-American, has been on the receiving end of hatred and racism since winning the title.

The response from Davuluri’s win shows what a percentage of Americans think about other races and what exactly it means to be “American.”

But what is the difference between tweeting about Davuluri and an individual who is tweeting such insen-sitive things is because of skin color.

Can’t we as Americans put something aside that is so petty at times?

One race isn’t entitled to having the label of “American” given to them. While indi-viduals who haven’t been born into the country are still given the title of their origi-nal countries, those who are born into America are given the hybrid nationality of

both their parents’ country and where they are now. In this case, Davuluri is Indian-American. She’s first genera-tion American in her family, giving her the same rights as all of the other American-born citizens in the country. She has all of the same rights as anyone else who has been born into the country,

This right is one of the principals founded in the Constitution. While some peo-ple believe it’s been abused in the past [see anchor-babies], they’re still given the chance of being an American through and through.

Davuluri was also called a terrorist because of her ances-try. Even the people who are stereotyping her aren’t get-ting the labels right. She’s Indian, not Muslim, nor are all Muslims terrorists. Can we put aside a decade old belief and move on?

What people did consider “all-American” was a vet-eran from Kansas, who likes guns, hunting and has tat-toos. While it kind of is an American stereotype, not everyone in America likes guns, hunting and tattoos— as seen by the gun debates.

So, is that truly all-Amer-ican? I honestly don’t think so. Being American means a lot more than the color of your skin, what you like or any of these things that people seem to think makes them American. It’s about the feeling of one’s pride in their country, a passion only one can have.

government transparency comes in many different ways

Meet a resident of Geauga County, Ohio. Toward the end of 2008 he, fed up with politics-as-usual, began a website entitled “Geauga Constitutional Council,” complete with a Jeffersonian quote about constant vigilance being the price of freedom.

For two years, he and a few friends would gather for polit-ical discussions. Occasionally, he would sponsor speak-ers who would discuss pub-lic policy issues. Candidates neither appeared nor were

endorsed or opposed at these meetings. He would charge a nominal fee to offset his costs.

He and several friends cre-ated political pamphlets and distributed them at the local county fair. he spent $40 monthly to maintain his web-site and a few hundred dollars annually for other expenses.

One of the targets of his website was the chair-man of the Geauga County Republican party and a member of the county Board of Elections. After picking up a pamphlet, the chair-man spent two months to determine who was behind the Geauga Constitutional Council. When the chairman ascertained the resident’s role, he filed a complaint against him with the Ohio Elections Commission.

During the course of the April 2011 hearing, he asked if he needed to hire an attorney. The Commission Chairman replied, “Yeah, I guess so. I think that it’s very complicated without going to those lengths.”

It turns out that his activi-ties violated Ohio campaign finance laws because he did not register with the Ohio Elections Commission. He took his case through the Ohio court system and lost. The Ohio Supreme Court declined to hear the case. The U.S. Supreme Court has now been requested to hear the case.

However, three major dif-ficulties have emerged. First, the lack of realization that “transparency” in whatever form is not costless. It takes

money, time and energy to register, fill out paperwork, disclose, obtain approvals and be subjected to audit.

The second problem is that of “mission creep”— the tendency of bureaucracy to expand its fields of activi-ties into areas where it has no business. Apparently, elections boards share the same characteristics as other bureaucracies. There is an instinctive desire to enlarge their sphere of influence.

The last problem is that, judging from recent Supreme Court decisions, it might even be unconstitutional.

The question has to be asked is: why should he, or anyone for that matter, be

alternative. My music will play for about an hour then shut off.”

Sophomore Joe MacQuarrie agrees with Shellhanner.

“I play music in the background and any music that comes up is fine with me,” MacQuarrie said. “It takes my mind off of every-thing. It’s a nice thing to have.”

In order to get a good nights rest, students may take sleep-ing medication. But Yingling discourages the use of drugs for sleeping.

“Create a sleep environment instead of using drugs to induce sleep,” Yingling said. “You don’t want to become reliant on them, you don’t know what the long term effects are. If you are taking others, there could be negative side-effects of the mix.”

One common misconception students may have about sleep is alcohol use.

“It is a depressant but it inter-rupts with sleep,” Yingling said. “It may help you go to sleep but you don’t get a good sleep, so it can magnify and make sleep deprivation worse.”

Sleep helps with better per-formance throughout the day, Yingling said.

“It helps with motor and cog-nitive functions,” she said. “It’s needed to get back to normal functioning, putting things back together.”

The LA Times wrote about two different products that can help monitor sleep. One is a free app called Sleep Studio+ and the other is a bracelet-like design for UP by Jawbone, which costs $129.

Senior Tarren Bland may not use the products, however he does listen to music or the TV when trying to fall asleep.

“I fall asleep and it’s still play-ing but if I wake up I turn it off,” Bland said. “I don’t need it but it’s soothing to me.”

“I have a personal account which I use a lot, so having another account for a more professional usage is dif-ferent, but it’s cool to see what pro-fessionals in the sporting industry use their accounts for,” Cooper said.

To keep the students engaged on Twitter, Muir assigns homework on the social network.

“I have them doing follow Friday assignments … they are encouraged to go and check the accounts that everybody else is suggesting they follow and follow them so that they get a sense of what professionals do,” she said.

The assignment isn’t just to follow a person on Twitter though. After following a professional for a week students have to write a report.

“[Students] are supposed to fol-low their person for a week and then they have to fill out a report. How many follows does that per-son have, how many are following them. [Students also have to] look at the language and then assess do you think this is a profession-al account, personal account, or mixed … how many times do they Tweet,” Muir said.

Cooper enjoys the assignments Muir gives them because he likes to see how professionals act on social media.

“It’s sweet to see what they say and how they use Twitter in their job,” Cooper said.

Some former students of Muir like senior Dan Kotnik liked using Twitter.

“I think the students and myself really enjoyed how dif-ferent it was from just a regular class,” Kotnik said.

Kotnik believes the use of Twitter in class also helped students open up in class more than a regular class discussion.

Instead of having lectures, Muir hosts discussions on Twitter where the students can ask each other questions.

“[Students] are responsible for choosing a sports ethic topic and sending me links that I can put on Canvas so people can read articles about the topic before we start the conversation,” Muir said. “And then whoever is leading the discussion that week has to send me questions in advance … so I function as a moderator. They choose the ethical topic, they submit questions, but I sort of run it.”

Muir believes Twitter helps her get to know her students better than just having a normal class with them, which is something she is happy about.

“I feel like I’m keeping in con-tact with my students and getting to know them a little bit better through Twitter,” Muir said.

BG took a pair of 44-16 and 54-17 victories against West Virginia University in a cross-conference home game Saturday.

The matches were a late addition to the schedule when both clubs found a mutual open weekend.

”We had actually been trying to work up a date for several years and we finally got it going last spring,” said Roger Mazzarella, director of rugby.

BG stopped in Morgantown in March on the tail end of its spring tour and the 13-12 nail-biter was the

most trouble any college club gave the Falcons that 2012-2013 year until they ran into Lindenwood at the Nationals.

”When our Sept. 21 date opened up they were the first team I called,” Mazzarella said.

To ease the travel burden the BG players put up their WVU counter-parts and hosted a buffet style cook-out before the Mountaineers made the trek back home.

Team sets record high total offensive yards, Falcons bounce back from Indiana loss

By Tara JonesReporter

Evansville handed the BG women’s soccer team its sixth consecutive loss as the Falcons fall to 0-6-0 on the season. The Purple Aces won 2-1 in OT Sunday afternoon.

Bowling Green took an early lead with senior Madeline Wideman’s unassisted goal just before the 13 minute mark in the first half. Much of the first half was even, but Evansville took over once the second half began. The Aces tied the game up 1-1 just after 10 minutes into the second half and controlled much of the play for the remain-der of the game. After both teams

remained scoreless for the rest of the half, the match went into overtime where Evansville made the game-winning goal just 1:17 into OT.

Head coach Lindsay Basalyga believes it is only a matter of time before the Falcons are able to win their first game with the improvements they are making with each game and the desire they have to get that win.

“Evansville came in 6-2-1, so we knew it was going to be a com-petitive game, and for us every game we keep walking away we’re getting better and better every game,” Basalyga said. “I keep telling the players I wish I could look into a crystal ball

and tell them when it’s going to start clicking in terms of results. I mean that’s why athletes play. We want results on the day.”

Senior co-captain Alyssa Carmack knows her team is close to everything coming together for them. She feels her team’s confidence grows each week as they learn and grow with each game and as Coach Basalyga continues to push them.

“I think we’re right there, we’re just a step away from really everything coming together,” Carmack said. “I think that every week in practice our confidence

The BG football team high-lighted Family Weekend at the University with a 48-7 victo-ry against the Murray State University Racers Saturday.

BG’s v ictor y against the Racers was a shootout for the offense that failed to score a touchdown the previous week against the Indiana University Hoosiers.

“This was a game that we needed,” head coach Dave Clawson said. “We certainly didn’t play well a week ago and we had to bounce back. [As a coach], you want to make sure your team takes the opponent seriously and prepares the way they should prepare, and we prepared better this week than we prepared for Indiana.”

The Falcons amounted 660 total yards against the Racers

Saturday, which eclipsed the team’s previous record under Clawson, which was set against the Kent State Universit y Golden Flashes in the second week of the season.

BG qua r terback Mat t Johnson played for the f irst three quarters of the game. He completed 19 of his 22 pass-es for 244 yards, threw two touchdown passes, ran for 40 yards and scored one touch-down on the ground as well.

“The offensive line did a great job giving me a clean pocket,” Johnson said. “The receivers did a great job get-ting open. They read the cov-erage as well. They knew where they had to be and they made my job easier because I just had to play pitch-and-catch. The running backs did a good job in protection, too.”

Johnson’s 86.4 passing per-centage marked the fifth best

in BG history.Redshirt freshman James

Knapke threw his first career touchdown in the fourth quar-ter on a 17-yard pass to Ronnie Moore to put the Falcons ahead 48-7 following the suc-cessful PAT attempt by kicker Tyler Tate.

BG’s running backs stepped up their game against Murray State as well. Running back Travis Greene ran for 45 yards in 11 attempts for an average of 3.9 yards per carry against Indiana but ran for 134 yards in 17 attempts for an average of 7.8 yards per carry against the Murray State Racers.

“Last week, it was a struggle offensively,” Greene said. “We just over thought the game and thought it was going to come easy to us. This week we got

from the last meeting by quickly scoring a try off the opening kickoff to take a 5-0 lead. But with the classic stiff flatland wind in their face, the Mountaineers had consider-able trouble with the kicking game. Tactical kicks often went nowhere or sideways while penalties rarely gained much ground.

The Falcons then proceed-ed to slowly build a 19-5 lead. Eight man Bryan Kean scored a try on a short yardage play from the scrum, wing Nolan Cavano finished a 50 yarder up the sideline and prop Dane Szente took one in off a lin-eout. Szente also converted two kicks out of his three tries.

West Virginia wasn’t fin-ished as they put together a magnificent 27 phase string of rugby that was matched by an equally magnificent defensive stand from BG that kept the Mountaineers out of the end zone.

“Our defensive stand showed a lot of individual resolve on the part of our players,” Mazzarella said. “Had West Virginia scored to end the half that would been a huge momentum shift. At the same time, that was quite an impressive bit of ball control rugby on their part.”

Notice had been served, however, and WVU landed two penalties and punched

in another try to get right back into the game at the start of the second half, down just 19-16. But just as quick as the game’s momentum had shifted it shifted again. As if to say, “that’s enough of this” the Falcon offense roared back to life and punched in 25 unanswered points.

Cavano scored twice more and was joined in the end zone by wings Ryan Koenig and Steve Fritsch. Szente, battling the wind, converted only one of those tries but also added a penalty kick.

”We kept ourselves in it for 55 minutes and came out strong in the second half,” stated WVU coach Richard Glover. “We certainly put our-selves in a position to win, but BG’s superior fitness made all the difference in the end.”

In the second match wing Sam Polzin reeled off four tries on runs averaging 75 yards each, flanker Rick Suda wing added a pair and wing Cole Shaffer hit on five of six conversion attempts.

BG is now 12-0 over the Mountaineers.

BG is now 8-0 and 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference, which the Falcons have dom-inated for 30 years.

West Virginia starts their Keystone Conference league play next week and will host St. Joseph University. BG returns to league play where they are already 2-0 and will be hosting the University of Cincinnati.

The BG men’s soc-cer team took a trip to Akron, Ohio, for a match aga inst Mid-A merica n Con ference foe t he Akron Zips who are also ranked in the top 15.

The Falcons put up a good fight but could not manage to score and left Akron with a 1-0 loss.

“We had a good mentality and a good approach today, and we actually played a pretty good game,” said head coach Eric Nichols. “There were moments in the game where we were on our front foot. But, we

did not have enough of those moments. When we create chances, which we did today, we’ve got to put them away.”

A kron outshot the Falcons by a total of 20-9, although the shot on goal difference was much closer as Akron led that category 7-3. Anthony Grant again led the Falcons in shots with two and both shots were on target but were saved by the Akron goalkeeper Fernando Pina.

Akron scored the lone goal of the day with 1:32 left in the first half. Zip Eric Stevenson played through the defense to forward Reinaldo Brenes who finished his chance

from 12 yards out. “Wit h a tea m l ike

A kron, i f you make a mistake, they will pun-ish you,” Nichols said. “We had a litt le lapse in our defending, and they beat us on a break and got a good goal.”

Goa l keeper Michael Wiest had f ive saves on the day, including back-to-back saves on Stevenson a nd Ada m Najem just seconds apart in the second half to keep the deficit at a single goal.

Although the Falcons lost their MAC opener they will move on to their next game against Marshall Friday, Sept. 27.

Running back Andre Givens also improved his production with 47 yards in eight attempts averag-ing 5.9 yards per rush. This was 15 yards gained in three carries against the Indiana Hoosiers.

I think that Lindsay pushes us to become the best that we can be, and I think that her pushing us and always being on us gives us more confidence that she believes in us [and] that we should believe in ourselves. The end result wasn’t what we expected, but I think that every day we learn from it and next time we know what mis-takes not to make.”

Senior Madeline Wideman, who scored the Falcons’ only goal on the game, said the key to clos-ing out close games is to continue to push for a sec-ond goal and maintaining

that fight the entire match. “You know, after we

score the first goal it seems we need to just keep push-ing and pressuring them the entire time. We can’t drop off and our attitudes can’t drop off because need to keep going to get the second goal,” said Wideman. “My team fights. We fight until the very end. We might not get the result but you can bet that we will get on the field and we will work our butts off the entire game.”

The Falcons head into M AC play this week beginning with a match at Ohio University on Friday, Sept. 27. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m. in Athens.

same, there is no true basis to stand on to be against anyone else.

Sharing some of the same traits as a group is not grounds to stand with or against someone. If one per-son does not know another, there should be no judg-ment because, hey, they don’t understand the other.

Excuse me while I’m blunt— prejudice is stupid.

I am not saying I want every-one to be friends, nor do I think that will happen, 21st century or not.

I would be content if there was merely less hatred flying around my head.

If someone doesn’t like someone else, that’s fine and dandy. But to hate some-one they don’t know based on one thing they have in common with other people? That’s foolish.
