– ATTENTION MAY GRADUATES –

By Shelby SpencerReporter

With education costs rising and academic

pressure building, students have to decide how

to finance their degree.

Working on campus, off campus, full-time,

part-time or no time at all, the struggle between

grades and finances is one most college students

are familiar with.

According to classroom.synonym.com

the average cost of a bachelor’s degree is over

$100,000.

While some students get financial aid and

scholarships, most of that money is a student’s

responsibility. Even students who receive federal

and private loans are responsible for paying

those back eventually.

Senior Liberal Studies major Mariah

Tevepaugh is a working student who plans on

being $20,000 in debt after graduation, and that

amount is after transferring from a community

college.

Tevepaugh works around 30 hours per week

at Buffalo Wild Wings and takes a full course load

of classes.

The pressure of thousands of dollars per year

can be difficult for an undergraduate student to

deal with, and most begin working in college to

offset the cost of their education.

FAFSA takes into consideration money from

students’ parents, even though parents often

can’t afford to help with tuition.

Tevepaugh is in that situation. She doesn’t

receive government grants, but her parents do

not help her with her student bills.

“They have never had enough money to help

with school or living situation, so everything that

I do with school, I do on my own,” she said.

According to Brigham Young University, about

80 percent of college students are employed

while they complete their bachelor’s degree.

“I work because I have bills that I couldn’t

afford if I didn’t work,” Tevepaugh said.

There are positive and negative effects of

working while attending college. There is the

worry that working will effect time available to

study, which in turn would affect grades and

GPA.

“I need to work to pay for school and living

but I need to go to school to get a better job,”

Tevepaugh said. “I want to work to make money

but I also need to study. It’s hard to find a balance

between the two, especially since I would rather

make money than do school work.”

Studies have shown having a job can benefit

a student’s GPA, but it is critical to not work too

Students balance work and academics

The unrecognized stories of black history were highlighted at this year’s Taste of February, titled “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” The SMART program invited audience members to engage in discourse and absorb the culture and celebration of Black History month.

“There may be parts of this program that may seem radical, and some that might make you feel uncomfortable. Rather than leave or shut down, we ask that you reach out to the SMART staff sitting at your tables and talk to us about your questions and feelings, and please remember that some of the most effective learning happens during times of greatest discomfort,” Coordinator of Diversity and Retention Ana Brown said.

During the opening of the program, Graduate SMART Coordinator Ayanna Byers gave the history of the poem and song “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” now popularly referred to as the Black National Anthem, which was adopted by the NAACP as the Negro National Anthem and then entered into the Congressional Record in 1990. The audience members and SMART staff, raising their Black Power fists high and proud, rose from their chairs to acknowledge jazz singer Rene Marie’s version of the anthem, which consisted of the words of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and the “Star Spangled Banner” melody.

“The song expresses pride in being American, frustrations with past injustices and hope for a better future,” Byers said.

Dinner followed, taking audience members on a trip around the continent with various “street foods” representing different regions of Africa. The menu consisted of Nigerian Suya (spicy grilled beef), Mozambique style piri piri (roasted chicken legs in red pepper sauce), curried grilled vegetables, chicken Mshikaki, mechouia and banana fritters.

“Everything was very spicy with a kick to it!” Junior Amanda Reese said. “I am glad I was able to open my mind and taste the various dishes at the event.”

Kicking the theme into high gear, the SMART staff began their presentations with artist Janelle Monae’s song “Hell You Talmbout,” with a video that depicted past crimes committed against people of color along with pictures of the victims.

The first performance centered on the social media hashtag movements that respond to the discrimination and violence against people of color and the LGBTQIA community. Hashtags such as #HandsUpDontShoot, #SayHerName, #IfTheyGunMeDown, #BlackOnCampus and #ICantBreath were the focal points of the performance.

Black Twitter, a cultural identity on Twitter

that focuses on issues of interest to the black community not covered by mainstream news, was a topic of interest amongst audience members. Black Twitter provides representation of the culture of black communities focusing on black excellence while also using the humor of memes to discuss what it is like growing up black.

Sticking to the theme, the SMART staff also discussed the misconceptions of the Black Panther Party and Black Lives Matter. Both have been seen as violent groups, using force to get their points across.

With a game of Family Feud, misconceptions of the movements were tackled by highlighting the positive impact that both organizations have on the black community, such as providing healthcare, food and safety to communities.

The program continued with the honoring of black excellence throughout the decades, paying homage to Dr. Angela Davis, artist Prince, director Spike Lee and others who have contributed to the black community through activism and philanthropy.

The program ended on a note of past violence in black communities, such as the Tulsa Race Riots and the MOVE bombing of 1985.

“I hope audience members take away, if nothing else, that there’s more history than just Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. We get so caught in this rut of doing the same things over and over again, and black history in America is a very rich and deep history,” Brown said. “I hope this piques people’s curiosity to learn more about things that happened in black history that not a lot of people talk about.”

Revisiting meaningful albums About ten years ago, Kelly Clarkson, the original “American Idol” queen, released her third studio album, which was considered a letdown by many, especially considering her second album, “Breakaway,” had done so well on the music charts and in terms of songs that received radio airplay.

Well, my friends, it’s time to revisit “My December” and finally give the album the credit it deserves.

Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I love Clarkson and her music. Her tour about four years ago with Maroon 5 was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, and it’s not because I had a moment with Adam Levine during the concert (that’s a story for another time).

But, when “My December” was released in June 2007, I was an innocent 12-year-old girl whose biggest concern was whether I was going to wear flip-flops or tennis shoes to Kings Island that day. I could barely relate to any of the themes that were present on the album (though one could argue that I couldn’t relate to any of the themes on her previous two albums, but that’s not the point). Ten years later, I’m 22 and can relate to the themes of the album a lot better than before.

While “Never Again” got the most attention from the album, maybe it’s time to go back and re-evaluate the album. Or at least give a listen to the two of the most

haunting songs in Clarkson’s expansive repertoire.

Which brings me to the fourth and 13th tracks on the album: a nearly five-minute long song entitled “Sober” and a four-ish minute long song “Irvine.”

Both songs deal with fighting your demons, but they both tell different stories. “Sober” deals with the ending of a relationship. But more so than that, it’s a brutally honest song about picking up the pieces when dark times come into your life. As the song progresses, more instrumentation is added and Clarkson’s vocals become more layered. It’s a beautiful and haunting song.

As for “Irvine,” it’s another simplistic song, but the meaning behind it is more than simple. Clarkson said she wrote the song in a bathroom in Irvine, California while she was burnt out and incredibly depressed. This is referenced throughout the song, especially in lyrics like “will you stay/stay till the darkness leaves/stay here with me.”

Both songs are starkly different from the rest of the album, which is a lot more rock-orientated than her previous two albums and her later albums. Some consider that to be the reason why the album didn’t perform well in terms of sales.

But as a 12-year-old who didn’t dig deeply into the meaning of songs, I didn’t care much about the songs upon listening to them for the first time. As a 22-year-old who always overthinks things and stresses out and loves to dig deeper into the meaning behind my favorite songs, both “Sober” and “Irvine” are the perfect songs that reminds me to take a step back and not let my fears drown me.

Even the title of the album is meaningful. “My December.” If you dig into the symbolism December is a month that deals with closing yourself off and letting things die. Clarkson said the album was a response to the tough touring schedule for “Breakaway.” “My December” is her partial response to closing herself off.

So, as we all grow older, maybe it’s time to revisit albums, or anything that we may have brushed off in the past, and give it a second chance to make sure we’re not being swayed by the opinions of those around us.

Good fashion goes a long way

As we all know, the most romantic (or overrated) day of the year is upon us. Whether you consider Valentine’s Day a sweet day to spend with your significant other or just one big day of pizza and mockery, the day comes each year without fail, despite your feelings toward it. One major question for those sharing Valentine’s day with a special someone this year is “What do I get them?”

The most difficult aspect of Valentine’s Day is deciding how to spend it. Will you plan a fancy dinner out or in? Catch a movie? Stay in and cuddle? And that’s only the beginning of questions to ask. Then you have to decide what to buy, what to make or what to give to your partner in crime. Do you plan to go homemade? Buy something from the store? The questions and decisions are endless, and they are a key factor in why Valentine’s Day is such a struggle sometimes. For those strugglers this year, I have a few tips and tricks to help you make it through Valentine’s Day successfully.

1. If you are going with a store-bought gift, try to stay away from boxed chocolates. Despite being a famous staple of Valentine’s Day, the phrase “you never know what you’re

going to get” really sticks. Often, when ladies get chocolates, we eat the few delicious pieces, try a few yucky ones, and then let the whole box sit for a month until eventually throwing the rest away. Instead, try to choose a type of candy you know they will like and get some of that instead.

2. Homemade gifts can be so meaningful if done correctly, and a good gift that you create yourself is likely to be kept for years. Honestly, you can never really go wrong with a handwritten letter or poem. While it may seem cheesy, sometimes those things really mean a lot, and the fact that you took the time to hand write sweet nothings will earn brownie points for sure.

3. If you typically go all out for birthdays and other holidays, there may be nothing wrong with keeping Valentine’s Day low-key. There is of-ten so much pressure placed on this holiday, and

it can be easy to not live up to the hype if your gift falls through or an unfortunate event compro-mises your plans. Instead, the important thing to remember is that you are spending it with some-one you care about! It may take the pressure off to do something as simple as chilling out all eve-ning with a solid chick flick.

4. If you are planning on a dinner date: do NOT forget to make reservations. Valentine’s Day is a huge holiday for fancy date nights, and there are few things worse than waiting all day for a nice meal only to have a two and a half hour wait when you get there. Make a reservation if possible, or phone ahead an hour early.

Whether you are planning on celebrating Valentine’s Day or not, at least we can all revel in the love we know exists and will be in the air on Tuesday. Regardless of how you spend the day, remember to let loose and ignore the pressure about having a perfect day. Just remember what you are thankful for, and let that be your anthem.

Planning for Valentine’s Day

We all enjoy wearing nice, decent clothing. As individuals we want to be comfortable in our own skin while showing off our personality. But do your outfits reach their full potential? There are many types of fashion out there, and different ways to accessorize, but there are also dos and don’ts to clothing and fashion.

A do: look good. A don’t: wear outfits that don’t match. Many people are guilty of both, especially the latter. Many people at the University are awesome human beings, but can’t dress at all. I’ve seen an outfit consisting of brown shoes, a yellow shirt and red pants. Now THAT isn’t fashion. If it were a mix-match day or a party, then yes. But on an average day, no.

I noticed this even more in males than females. I think it’s because males aren’t necessarily taught to dress fashionably due to the emphasis on masculinity and the belief that having fashion sense is a feminine trait. This is incorrect. A male can still be fashionable with a rich fashion sense while retaining his masculinity. In fact, most males are only taught to dress well when it comes to a school dance, such as prom, interviewing for a job, or for a formal event such as a wedding, but not a normal day out and about. I think there needs to be a change. More males need to be educated on how to dress. In my personal experience, I’ve seen men dress completely unmatched or too dressy but still unmatched, which is probably worse due to the dressy/formal part. At bars, I’ve seen males wear red

and white button downs, black dress pants and yellow and green shoes. Now, tell me how this is fashionable. Yeah, you can’t. Maybe in about 10 years if mix-matching becomes the norm, but as of now, I don’t think so.

Females, on the other hand, have a better fashion sense. Again, this goes back to the belief that being fashionable is more feminine. Well, here’s a news flash. Gender has nothing to do with fashion. Whether you’re male or female, you can be fashionable. Now I have seen females with wacky styles too, but generally because of gender assumptions, I’ve seen it more in males. Fashion can have an impact on how people see you. For example, at bars on the weekends, I’ve witnessed people look at a guy and say “He’s cute but his outfit is not good.” That night, I felt sorry for that particular guy because his outfit probably preveted him from getting attention. Yes, your outfit can turn people off, believe it or not. No matter what your sexuality is, someone could reject you based on how your outfit looks. It’s somewhat petty, yes, but fashion goes a long

way. Your clothing plays a part in your hygiene, just

about as much as brushing your teeth or styling your hair. It’s all one package. If you didn’t brush your teeth, you’re more likely to have bad breath, and having bad breath is very likely to turn someone off from dating or hooking up with. The biggest tip I can give to males is to, please, reevaluate your style if you wear something out.

Double check your outfit at least twice to make sure everything matches. You don’t want to be “that guy” who gets turned down because of his outfit. Also, don’t try so hard to mirror what your friends are wearing. I’ve seen this mistake with both sexes. People will try to copy what their friends are wearing, and that is not always a good idea. It’s okay to mirror your friends sometimes, but not all the time. If you are going to wear the same outfit your friend is wearing, then at least wear a different color with accessories that match.

When you go out in public, you want to show your friends off, but you also want to be unique in your own style that makes you stand out. Mirroring your friends too much can have a negative impact. Big advice: make sure it matches. If it doesn’t match well, like mascot colors, then you probably shouldn’t wear it.

Predictions contrast for OscarsBy Jennifer Verzuh andJacob Clary

Award shows aren’t always easy to predict, as we learned this weekend when Adele won Best Album over Beyonce in a major upset even Adele wasn’t happy about. We can argue for days about their accuracy and whether or how, they’ are arbitrary. Yet, whether it be the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, or the Academy Awards, it’s hard to argue against their importance and impact. Besides, predicting the results is half the fun. Film fans at heart, we each made arguments for who we believe will take home the Oscars this month from categories that are no contest (we’re looking at you, Viola Davis) to those that are not so clear cut (Best Picture).

Jennifer’s Picks

Best Picture: “Moonlight”“La La Land” has the advantage here. It has far

more star power, received a wider release, and the Oscars love movies about the entertainment industry (see the recent wins of “The Artist,” “Argo,” and “Birdman”). Still, I hold out hope that “Moonlight” will prevail. It’s a searingly beautiful movie that’s shot with love, intimacy and care. It’s a lesson in empathy that has all the right ingredients: a talented ensemble cast, sensitive direction and a compassionate, personal script.

Best Actress: Isabelle Huppert, “Elle”Although it’s very rare for an actor or actress

to win for a foreign language role, it’s been done before, and Huppert’s performance is so striking, powerful, challenging, horrific, funny and subversive that it’s impossible to overlook. It helps that Huppert is an acclaimed critical darling with a rich acting history. The fact this is her first nomination is, frankly, disrespectful. She’s been churning out captivating performances for decades, and it’s time she receives her due.

Best Actor: Casey Affleck, “Manchester by the Sea”

Unlike its female counterpart, the Best Actor category is relatively weak this year. Casey Affleck and Denzel Washington are the two favorites, and it’s easy to see why. While it’s impossible to deny the fierceness and power of Washington’s performance, he goes almost too far, and it feels over the top at moments. As a counterpart, Affleck’s acting is subtle and understated. However, it’s incredibly powerful and heartbreaking.

Best Director: Damien Chazelle, “La La Land”“La La Land” has so much working for it

aesthetically, musically and performance-wise. Much of that success can be attributed to the

film’s director. Each frame is full of color and life. The camera dances along with the characters and captures the intense joy and magic of love, music and Los Angeles.

Best Supporting Actress: Viola Davis, “Fences”

Frankly, it’s a little strange to see Viola Davis nominated here. Not because her work in “Fences” isn’t worthy of the highest praise, as it so clearly is. Rather, it’s because she really should be nominated in the leading actress category instead, given the enormity and caliber of her role. Regardless, she gives a gripping, powerhouse performance, and, as a result, has been sweeping award shows this season.

Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali, “Moonlight”

I’ve never felt more passionately about this category than I do this year. Mahershala Ali has been all over the place in 2016, churning out work of the highest quality in “Luke Cage,” “Free State of Jones” and “Hidden Figures.” But, no performance was better than his in “Moonlight.” In the best-cast movie of 2016, Ali absolutely shines. He finds compassion and emotional depth in a character audience members have been preconditioned to dislike and distrust: a crack dealer.

Best Original Screenplay: Mike Mills, “20th Century Women”

Really, “20th Century Women” should be

nominated in several other categories as well, but the

shining achievement of this subtle masterpiece is the

truly stellar script. It’s a relatively simple coming of

age story at play, but Mills values character over plot

in a way that fills each character with unique life. He

also manages to include voice overs and flashbacks

without it feeling cheap or forced, wno easy task.

Jacob’s Picks

Best Picture: “La La Land”I think the best picture winner will be “La La

Land”. There is just something about it that I can’t get out of my head. The music in the movie is great, the story is superb, and the scenery shown in the movie is gorgeous. Altogether, this movie surpassed every expectation that I had for it. “La La Land” is my winner for this category.

Best Director: Damien Chazelle: “La La Land”Damien Chazelle has directed one of the best

movies of the year, if not the best. Every scene brings something unique to the table. “La La Land” is a movie that does not let up at all, and feels like everything was thought through very well, thanks to Chazelle’s directing abilities.

Best Actress: Natalie Portman: “Jackie”Portman is able to portray Jackie Kennedy

splendidly. Not since Daniel Day Lewis’ portrayal of Abraham Lincoln have we seen a more spot-on rendition of a historical figure. The way that Portman’s voice actually sounds like Jackie’s makes it feel like I’m not watching Portman, but a different person entirely.

Best Actor: Denzel Washington, “Fences”Washington’s performance in “Fences” is

astounding. Because of the way Washington has portrayed his character, I hated him. The events that occur in this movie cause me to dislike his character, but the only reason that I am able to do so is because his portrayal makes the viewer feel like they’re watching someone who is about to explode or snap whenever he is on screen.

Best Supporting Actress: Viola Davis, “Fences”

Davis in “Fences” gives a superb performance. Her character has to go through a lot of turmoil in the movie, and Davis’ portrayal

of the reactions to these events is one of the best performances that I have seen this year. Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali, “Moonlight”

The performance Ali gave in “Moonlight” is phenominal. The way he interacts with the characters in the movie makes me believe that I am watching a real person. Ali has shown why he deserves to win this award.

Best Original Screenplay: Damien Chazelle, ”La La Land”

Along with directing the movie, Damian Chazelle also wrote the movie, and I think that he should win this category. The way the story is told is great, and it actually feels like the musical aspect of the movie adds to the story because of the way that the music blends into the scenes.

This time around our roadtrip lead us a little further down the road: to Indiana. While you could technically make it to Indianapolis and back from Bowling Green in one day, it’s not ideal. We felt an overnight trip staying at a cheap motel was more appropriate. While there, we played dress up at a museum, enjoyed a riverside stroll,and battled each other in air hockey. Though not exactly a short drive away, we highly recommend it for a weekend getaway.

Primanti Bros.:I’d never heard of this place until I went to

Indianapolis, and apparently it’s a famous chain that’ is in the eastern United States.

Initially founded in Pittsburgh, the Indianapolis location hosted possibly one of the best meals I’ve had for less than $7. The restaurant, known for their “Almost Famous” sandwiches, offers a full menu of over 20 different sandwiches. Plus, if you visit Primanti Bros. after 10 p.m., most sandwiches available on the menu are only $5.

New “Lego” film great fun for Batman fansBy Claire MorrowPulse Writer

Holy franchise, Batman! After the success of the original “The Lego Movie” in 2014, the DC comic company has decided to stake its claim in the Lego world.

With a basic knowledge of the Batman storyline, and with the humorous nature of the previous Lego productions in mind, I was skeptical at best to see how this film would be able to encapsulate this hero’s 78 year history in under 2 hours. To my surprise, I was impressed with the amount of references that were included, as well as the new humor introduced for a young audience.

For the majority of the introduction, the

viewers join Batman (Will Arnett) as he goes about his solitary life in Wayne Manor. We can all relate as he saunters through the halls singing to himself or when he presses the zero one too many times on the microwave. On the other side of relatable however, we see the vigilante battle loneliness and sadness as he gazes at old family photos.

As he continues going about his routine, he is constantly distracted by the photos of his family which met their demise at the hand of a robber. The longing he feels for a family is eventually satisfied when Wayne accidentally adopts orphan Dick Grayson (Michael Cera). This hilarious scene perfectly illustrates how the movie follows the original Batman story while adding humorous and amusing twists.

The plot moves fast throughout to keep

viewers of all ages interested. The flashy costumes and strong diverse characters allow the audience to connect with the cast. For the older crowd, references to previous DC ventures and a slew of iconic villains like Sauron and the “Doctor Who” Daleks allow the adults to follow a slightly different, but equally entertaining plotline.

Along with the fan-oriented references, the movie has a lot to offer in the way of a meaningful story as well. With the budding “bromance” between Bruce Wayne and the Joker and the emphasis on a platonic working relationship with Batgirl, the movie also touches on the importance of family and caring about others.

Batgirl (Rosario Dawson) herself was an integral character to the story and allowed a strong and positive role model for little girls in

the audience. This portrayal of Barbara Gordon was confident, resilient and ready to face any challenge despite scrutiny from her male counterparts.

Having left its more serious predecessors in its dust, “The Lego Batman Movie” incorporates countless aspects of the franchise’s history throughout. From the shark repellent of 1966 to the lesser appreciated rivalry with Superman just last year, not only does the movie honor the history of Batman, it pokes fun at its eccentricity as well.

Overall, this movie is a fantastic merger between the sinister Wayne of the live action films and the campy humor of the 1960s and animated series. For fans of all ages and interests, “The Lego Batman Movie” is sure to make even the most serious movie buffs smile.

Indianapolis, INA Day Out in....

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis: If you only have time for one museum while

in Indianapolis, and there are several worth your time, I recommend this one. The city boasts it as the biggest children’s museum in the country and one of the best, which, frankly, is no exaggeration. It’s a large, multi-floor funhouse with plenty of fascinating and interacting exhibits that deal with everything from dinosaurs to space travel that you’ll enjoy regardless of your age. Allow at least three hours for your visit, though you can easily spend a whole day there.

Circle Center Mall and Tilt Studio Arcade: In a lively, fun area of downtown worth

exploring on its own, lies a large mall that offers great shopping, entertainment and food options. In addition to a movie theater, the top floor has a surprisingly large and impressive video game arcade that is a perfect place to spend the afternoon. Bonus: It’s within walking distance of the Indiana State House, which is worth a tour.

Canal Walk: This riverside path stretches from the beautiful White River State Park to 11th Street. The promenade welcomes walkers, runners and bikers, offering beautiful views of downtown as well as the surrounding nature.

Broad Ripple:Broad Ripple is one of the seven villages tucked

away in the northern canal of Indianapolis with a vibrant college town aesthetic that comes along with it. We only walked around three streets and saw dozens of restaurants, clubs and shops in less than one square mile. Less than nine minutes away from Butler University, the town appears to be filled with life.

Specifically, Indy CD & Vinyl is an impressive music shop worth checking out. You can also grab a great burger while out at the local favorite, 317 Burgers.

The Falcons hockey team defeated the Mercyhurst Lakers 3-0 in a single game series on Saturday night, breaking a three-game losing streak.

“Sitting here right now, I think it’s important, I guess we’ll find out,” Falcons Head Coach Chris Bergeron said. “I can tell you we wouldn’t feel really good if we didn’t get the result tonight, so it’s important in that it was the next opportunity to get a result and we got it. I hope it carries some momentum as we go through the end of the season.”

After a scoreless first period, the Falcons were able to get on the board at the 9:07 mark of the second period with a goal from senior forward Pierre-Luc

Mercier, who broke a 19-game goalless drought to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead.

“It’s been a while since I’ve personally scored a goal,” Mercier said. “It’s more for the team, it was a power play almost, we were at one second after the power play, Chris (Pohlkamp) made a really good pass, and I was fortunate to have a lot of time in front of the net to make the play.”

The team added to the lead with a power play goal at 16:56 from junior defenseman Mark Friedman to take a 2-0 advantage after two periods. In the third period, junior forward Tyler Spezia scored another insurance tally at the 10:38 mark. The Falcons were able to hold Mercyhurst off the board for their third shutout of the season, taking the 3-0 victory.

“I didn’t love the first (period),” Bergeron said. “I don’t know if it’s just because I’m on edge because of the way

the last couple of games have gone, so I didn’t love the first period but I thought the second and third were pretty good.”

The game was also the first in three games the Falcons were able to get a goal on the board, as the offensive struggles were a contributor to the team’s recent losing streak.

“I don’t think we lost confidence in our abilities to score goals,” Mercier said. “But definitely getting that first one just takes the pressure off the team, it was like, ‘Oh, it’s not a game where we don’t score goals.’ Obviously, scoring that first goal was important and then as you can see we got three tonight, so that was very good.”

The team will play in their final series of the regular season at home against the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers on Friday, Feb. 24 and Saturday, Feb. 25.

A slow first quarter offensively doomed the BGSU womens basketball team as they fell on the road to Mid-American Conference ri-val the Toledo Rockets by a score of 74-59 on Saturday night.

The Falcons are 2-10 against MAC oppo-nents and have lost four straight games to the Rockets with the last win dating back to the 2013-2014 season.

Senior center Abby Siefker led all scorers with 12 points and seven rebounds.

Also contributing for the Falcons was ju-nior guard Haley Puk and senior forward Ash-ley Tunstall with 11 points each.

“It was a tale of two halves and I’ve said that multiple times this year,” said Head Coach Jennifer Roos. “Slow start, but credit

for them they were very aggressive, and we got punched in the face. It’s very hard to win when you’re behind by that much and, we dug ourselves in a hole too early.”

In the first four minutes of the game, UT went on an 8-0 by getting baskets in the paint and also getting early foul calls as well as forc-ing turnovers.

BG finally got points on the board as Abby Siefker got an up-and-under layup by making the score 10-2 with six minutes left. UT kept attacking the paint and BG only made two more baskets for the rest of the quarter as UT led 20-8 after the first quarter.

In the second, BG would got the free throw line early, but UT kept matching with jump shots and layups.

BG did not convert a field goal until the 6:46 minute mark as junior guard Rachel My-ers made a jump shot.

UT led 32-13 with four minutes left in the half, but Haley Puk scored the team’s last eight points to end the half as the Falcons trailed by a score of 38-21 at the half.

UT shot 50 percent from the field at the half, while BG shot 25 percent from the field.

In the third quarter, the tables turned as BG was the aggressor from the start as they got off to a 9-0 run in the first four minutes by forcing fouls, attacking the basket and getting to the free throw line.

However, UT went on a quick 5-0 run to keep the lead up to 13 points. Despite BG making shots, they could not cut the lead into single digits going into the final quarter as BG still trailed by a score 58-44.

In the final quarter, each team traded bas-kets for the first five minutes of the game as UT continued to lead 65-50.

BG inched closer around the 2:34 mark as they went on a quick 5-0 run following baskets from Siefker and sophomore guard Sydney Lambert as the deficit was cut to 10 points.

However, BG was in the penalty and UT took advantage by drawing fouls and went 10-13 on the free throw line in the final two minutes of the game keeping the game out of reach for BG.

“I’m proud of our effort,” said Roos. “We knew what they were going to run and came out with a bit of jitters, but like I said we got punched in the face early on. We’re better than our record shows and we got a big game on Wednesday so we got to be ready for that.”

The team will be back at the Stroh Center on Wednesday as they take on the Western Michigan Broncos with tipoff beginning at 7 p.m.

On Saturday, Feb. 11, the University hosted “Elect Her” in the Women’s Center, located in Room 107 of Hanna Hall.

The event was a training workshop geared toward women who were interested in positions in student government, politics and other leadership roles on campus. The workshop taught skills such as how to address political issues and create a platform, various communication strategies and balloting procedures.

Women’s Center Director Mary Kruger was pleased to see a jump in attendance from last year’s event.

“Last year was our first year sponsoring the event, we had about 15 people come out. This year had nearly 30 participants,” she said.

Not only did the number of participants increase, but the number of guest speakers and public officials also spiked.

“Last year, we had two Bowling Green Council members speak at the event. This year, we had four guest speakers, all of which had extensive political backgrounds,” said Keji Kujjo, Women’s Center graduate assistant.

Along with teaching women important skills to run for office and be confident in themselves, the workshop also featured many local government officials as guest speakers including Ohio Rep. Teresa Fedor and Sen. Edna Brown, Findlay Mayor Lydia Mihalik and Bowling Green Councilman Daniel Gordon.

Among other guests was Facilitator Tanya Johnson, who has hosted other Elect Her events at universities such as Northern Iowa, Texas A&M and Tulane. Johnson has 12 years of experience working on Capitol Hill, most notably working for Democratic Minority Whip Steny Hoyer.

“We had a diversity of issues students were passionate about brought to my attention as a result of this workshop. Many of the students brought up things such as sexual assault, race

and lack of diversity on campus,” Johnson said. Johnson also added a new wrinkle to the

program, which was absent from last year’s seminar.

“This year, the students participated in a mock campaign simulation, where each student had to design and craft an elevator pitch about their issue of choice and go out and get ballot signatures around campus in order to support their issue,” Johnson said. “I feel this event is beneficial to all women who are interested in running for government office because it truly teaches girls a sense of confidence in a field which is largely dominated by male counterparts.”

At the close of the workshop, Johnson issued

a prize to the winner of the mock balloting campaign in recognition of the student’s hard work and perseverance.

The University’s Women’s Center hopes to continue to host the event annually while increasing awareness of the event around campus.

For more information about the event or the University’s Women’s Center, log onto the school website and search the events calendar, or email womenscenter@bgsu.edu.

– ATTENTION MAY GRADUATES –

many hours.

BYU reported that 74 percent of students

said their work actually forces them to be more

efficient, but 64 percent also said their job adds

additional stress to their lives.

“I don’t know how many meals I have skipped

because I have to go from class to work or vice

versa, and I don’t have the time to eat or change

or take a minute to breathe,” Tevepaugh said.

BYU held a study comparing working and

non-working students. Students who work part

time on campus have better GPAs than other

students. Working on campus often allows

students to be integrated into the campus

community while also earning money.

Director of Student Employment Services

Dawn Chong said that Student Employment

Services employs approximately 3,500 students

on campus annually. About 1,300 are graduate

assistants and the rest, student employees.

Some campus jobs have some relation to

a student’s major, or some kind of academic

requirements.

Many campuses also have limits on how

much a students is allowed to work while they

are taking classes.

Chong said that at BG, grad students work

20 hours per week, and student employees can

work a maximum of 28 hours per week.

She said students on campus work between

12-15 hours per week on average.

According to BYU, about 20 hours is the point

where students start to notice the negative

effects of their work reflected onto their grades

and school work.

Off-campus students tend to work more

hours in a different environment that can have a

negative impact on their school life.

Tevepaugh said she brings her school work

to her job sometimes in hopes of having a slow

period to get it done.

“Students can work, but they are here to

get their education

first,” Chong said. “If

they can successfully

balance school and

extracurricular activities,

adding work to the

equation shouldn’t pose a

problem.”

The decision is difficult,

and can be frustrating for

students.

Ultimately it is up to

them to decide what is

best for their academic

career and stress level.

Students needing help

finding jobs or doing

their first year resume can contact the Student

Employment Services office at (419) 372-2865.

Lantern festival rings in Chinese new yearBy Toni MorrisReporter

The raw cultural feel of the Chinese New Year was encompassed on Feb. 11 in the BTSU ballroom with an authentic celebration of the holiday.

The festival was held from 6:30-9:00 and was attended by staff and faculty, students and the community of Bowling Green.

The Chinese Students and Scholars Association and World Student Association organized the Chinese lantern festival. Activities, music, food and decorations highlighted the beautiful colors of the holidayand were complemented by streamers and lanterns at the entrance and handmade decorations throughout.

Dr. Cynthia Valentine also spoke, which brought out a loud applause from the audience for her remarks of the event. She was followed by speeches from members of the

Chinese Students and Scholars Association and club president Xidan Liang, and World Student Association president Fangyu Qian.

This event offered students and community the hands-on experience of making their own Chinese dumplings, a chance to learn how their name is spelled in Chinese, a presentation of a traditional Tea Ceremony with tea tasting, crafting elegant stage performances of dancing, singing and instrument playing as well as the chance to interact with students and to staff who celebrate this holiday annually.

Liang, a second year doctoral student in the Higher Education Administration program, spoke on her favorite part of the festival.

“Each station represents different Chinese culture elements, and they all provide an authentic cultural experiences for our participants,” she said. “This year, I added the riddles station to let our participants experience the traditional entertainment that only takes place during lantern festival.

Because of these stations, our participants had the opportunities to move around and had fun,”

The Chinese New Year festival is new at the University this year. “This is the first year CSSA is hosting this event,” Liang said. “I hope to keep this event as a tradition or highlight cultural event for BGSU. I did a similar event back when I was studying at Murray State University, Murray, Ky. I received great feedback from my previous event, and I decided to bring this event to BGSU campus and BG community. I believed it is a great event to celebrate diversity and inclusion at BGSU.”

Because of the newly shared involvement on campus with the festival to highlight China’s New Year, this is something Liang agrees is important to continue.

“I think that to understand

a different culture, you can’t just only read, see, or hear about it. It is important to have the hand-on experiences and be a part of this culture,” she said.

The University has a number of IT changes coming its way, including a change in the television provider contract and wireless internet access improvements.

John Ellinger, the University’s chief information officer for the IT department, visited USG during its meeting Monday night.

“We’re going to be moving from cable to IP based television,” Ellinger said. “When we do that it will become available anyplace on the network.”

The television service, however, will still operate through the traditional wired method – so students in residence halls will not need a smart TV or internet-capable device to receive the channels.

No contract has been signed yet for this new IP-based television service, but this is expected to happen sometime this spring. With the signing will come specifics about the costs and exact channels that will be received.

Ellinger also addressed wireless usage and upgrades.

“This campus…has 100 percent coverage, but

not 100 percent density,” he said.To demonstrate this discrepancy, he used the

Falcon’s Nest on a busy afternoon. The wireless in the Union is unable to support all 2000 plus students using the internet in the same location.

When lackluster wireless connection occurs, students can email Ellinger with the specific place where the wifi does not reach or is slow. This helps him identify needed improvement areas.

About six years ago, the University began classroom upgrades that are halfway complete after about 85 classrooms have been upgraded. These upgrades include the addition of wireless access points that now support up to three devices per student.

These upgrades are now extending to residence halls, too.

Beginning in MacDonald Hall, access points are being placed in each individual room. This upgrade will continue to Founders, Offenhauer, Kohl, Conklin and Kreischer.

“Each one of the students in residence halls right now are bringing six devices per person,” Ellinger said.

Outside wireless is also being placed in University and Moseley Halls. Outside wireless will continue to be added as buildings are

upgraded. Cyber security is also a major topic and

challenge for the IT department. “Last year and every year I’ve stood before I

keep saying ‘The bad guys are winning,’ and they are,” Ellinger said in reference to spam emails sent to University students, faculty and staff.

In 2015, 300 University accounts were compromised. In 2016, that number jumped to 940. Already in 2017 over 300 accounts have been compromised.

The spammers have the “ability to produce documents that look exactly like something President Mazey would send everybody,” He said. “Spot on, identical to them except for one character in the address.”

The attempts – and successes – to compromise accounts come from outside of the US, including Russia, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

To help combat the problem of compromising accounts, Ellinger encourages users to utilize Duo – a program that requires two concurrent login verifications from two devices for added security.
