“Just being out there at 2 a.m. My mom wouldn’t like that.”

Starting Friday and ending Sunday, more than 1,000 families will fill the campus for the annual Falcon Family Weekend.

The events of the weekend are hosted by the Office of Campus Activities.

“We think this weekend is another opportunity for students and family to engage in the University,” said Chris Bullins, associate dean of students.

More than 30 family events and activities are available for registration. Events include the football game, as the Falcons take on Murray State, and a live musical performance at Bryan Recital Hall.

Guest tickets for the game, which is Saturday at 3:30 p.m., are available for $10.

“We are excited for the game, and hope families can participate in Falcon Tailgate Park before the game,” Bullins said.

During halftime will be the recognition of the Parent of the Year, an award given to a nominated parent who “provides ongoing support,” and shows other “admirable traits,” according to the University website.

Starting at 4 p.m. on Friday, Parking Services will go into “weekend enforcement,” which means park-ing will be open for the duration of the weekend.

Aside from the events, other features this week-end include: 15 percent off dining hall meals for fam-ily members accompanied by a student; and student rates for family members accompanied by a student at the Forrest Creason Golf Club.

Students may have noticed hour changes to the Falcon’s Nest this year, and the changes won’t stop there.

The Nest Outtakes is open an extra three hours, until 9 p.m., due to requests from the Undergraduate Student Government, said Michael Paulus, director of Dining Services.

Students may notice additional changes to opening and closing hours in other dining halls next semester, as Dining Services con-tinues to evaluate them. Find these times online at www.dineoncam-pus.com/bgsu

USG President Alex Solis expressed his concern to Dining Services last year when he noticed that there was only one option for late night food, Marco’s Pizza.

“When I noticed how students were utilizing the Nest during the night time heavily, I talked with some students and [USG] about adding another option for students

The city police will be adding new sets of eyes downtown to control crime during the weekends.

Cameras will be added to the intersections of Main and Court streets and Wooster and Prospect Streets as well as Lot 1 [behind Uptown Downtown] and Lot 4 [behind Pisanello’s Pizza], said Maj. Tony Hetrick, deputy chief of the Bowling Green Police Division. They will be installed by the end of the month.

The decision to add the new cameras came when police identified hot spots downtown where the most crime-related calls came in, Hetrick said.

“The cameras will be used for fights, disorderly conducts, drug activity and vandalism,” he said. “We’re not using them to look for drunkenness. There’s a lot of that anyway.”

When police get a call about a crime in areas where the new cameras are, dispatch will be able to control the cam-era and pan, tilt and zoom it in the direction of the crime, Hetrick said.

While police currently have cameras on the four corners of the intersection of Main and Wooster streets, they are 10

This year, the Multicultural Greek Council will host their first ever col-laborative recruitment event.

In the past, they’ve recruited as individual chapters, but Sept. 20 in 316 Union will be their first ever recruit-ment event as a council.

All six of the existing sororities and fraternities are coming together in order to provide information on what their organizations are about.

The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) consists of six Greek organiza-tions: Phi National Social Fraternity, Inc, Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc., Omega Phi Alpha National Service Sorority, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity, Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc.

“It was easy to work with all of the Greek organizations in MGC because it was beneficial for each of them,” said junior Emily Soster, member of Omega Phi Alpha. “I think that what links us together is our differences, we promote very different things but we all come together as one.”

MGC members Craig Rowley and Soster represented the Multicultural Greek Council at the Student Leader Retreat, which sparked collaboration.

“We became not only more involved with one another but with the campus in general,” Rowley said. “Collaborating is one of the steps. We want growth in all six organizations, not only are we looking for more peo-ple but quality people.”

Some students on campus had been unaware of MGC until Campus Fest, many of whom are now excited to see what the

Interstate 75 has been under more surveillance by highway patrol since the increase in the speed limit from 65 to 70 mph this past summer.

“We are patrolling, making sure that people are obeying the new law so that we can insure safety,” said Lt. Jerrod Savidge, commander of the Bowling Green Highway Patrol Post. “We were asked to enforce the change in the speed limit and that’s what we are doing.”

Theresa Pollick, public infor-mation officer for the Ohio Department of Transportation district two, said the reasoning behind the increase was due to a legislative decision and they are always promoting drivers safety on roadways.

During the summer, ODOT created 317 new highway signs, spending a total of $8,287.19 on the updated speed limit increase on I-75, 70, 71, 76, 77 and 90, according to ODOT’s press release.

During the past 30 days alone, there have been 23 reported acci-dents on I-75 near Bowling Green, said Savidge.

Freshman Allison Palmer is nervous about the increased speed limit.

“I use I-75 for most trips I make,” Palmer said. “It is my route to go home and explore BG in general, so I am a bit nervous that people will become more reckless and try to disrupt the traffic f low, especially during the winter months.”

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is also aware that the weather may affect drivers more than usual this year.

“It all would depend on the weather,” said Savidge. “It is obvi-ously going to make somewhat of a difference because people will need more time to slow down.”

Other students may not notice the increase, having already sped before it was updated.

“I drive between 70 to 75 mph whenever I get on I-75,” said senior Alex Hetterich. “I don’t see this changing the way people have been driving.”

Dining Services extends hours at union Outtakes to 9 p.m.

BlOttER other than Marco’s Pizza,” Solis said.

Operating hours for various concepts are determined by student traffic, Paulus said.

“Students needed more snack items available during early evening meetings in the Union,” Paulus said.

Sensors in the doorways of the Union monitor traffic every 15 minutes, allowing Dining Services to evalu-ate the busiest and slow-est times, said Sara Meyer, communication director for Dining Services.

Operating costs for each din-ing facility are reviewed each fall, spring and summer, which also helps determine when to change hours, Paulus said.

“This helped us determine when the traffic is the high-est and lowest, so we could determine when to add or cut

hours,” Meyer said.Even though Dining

Services tacked on three hours to the Nest Outtakes, it wasn’t expensive to do so, as the only additional cost is paying one worker for three additional hours.

For Solis, the collaboration between USG and Dining Services was a positive one, and now they are seeing the benefits, he said.

“Overall, Dining Services was excited to work with us when we asked for this hour extension,” Solis said. “The traffic has been extremely positive since the change this year.”

Because efficiency in maintaining operational costs help to keep both menu and meal plan pricing low for students, this won’t effect food costs in the long run.

“This positive change will only bring money to Dining Services and happier stu-dents,” Solis said.

Multicultural Greek Council does. They also promoted the event at tables in the Union, and with social media.

“I really want to become a member of Sigma Lambda Gamma because I like what they stand for,” said freshman Catheline Longoria-Perez. “I am excited to attend the event and get to learn more about the different sorori-ties and the fraternities on campus.”

This step towards col-laboration allows stu-dents with different interests to explore many different options.

It was easy to collabo-rate with the other Greek organizations because they all share a common goal, Soster said.

“We all want every stu-dent interested in Greek life to find a place where they feel they belong and one that fits them best,” said Soter. “We are hop-ing that a good, decent amount of people, who have a genuine inter-est in our organizations come out.”

years old and outdated, Hetrick said.

These new cameras have a higher resolution. This will allow police to zoom in on people and see faces clearly, depending on the atmospheric conditions, said David McDonald, IT manager for the city.

“We’re building this with the capability of expansion,” he said. “We will develop more areas downtown and can link additional cameras.”

While police benefit from increased surveillance, so do the surrounding busi-nesses.

“The cameras easily will [decrease crime] because we frequently get fights outside and that’s true of all bars,” said Seth Childers, bartend-er at Uptown Downtown.

Two cameras are located near Uptown Downtown, one on Court and Main streets and one behind it in Lot 1.

“It won’t solve the whole situation, but it will definite-ly help out,” Childers said.

Some students also think the new sets of cameras will lower some crime on the

weekends.“People naturally watch

out for cameras when think-ing of committing crimes,” said junior Brianna Collins. “[Crime] will decrease a little; it’s a good safety measure.”

One concern Collins has is if police would be able to reach the crime in time once they see it on the cameras.

“It won’t help if you’re not there,” she said.

Along with the high reso-lution, the cameras can also record so police can watch footage of crime again for investigations, Hetrick said.

The cameras cost $10,000, but police received a grant from the Bowling Green Community Development Fund to pay for half the cost, he said. The other half will be paid with police budget money.

“People will feel more secure,” Hetrick said. “It’s safe already, but this is just a thing to add to that.”

Despite this change in speed limit, officials are confident that if drivers follow the rules, safety will prevail on roadways.

“On the interstate, the number one things students should do is pay attention to the roads and following distance and they should be fine,” Savidge said.

“We’re building this with the capability of expansion.”

President

Can you remember the last time you went to a party, dinner or other event where alcohol wasn’t on hand?

Neither can I.Alcohol plays a huge part

not only in college life, but also life in general.

Those under the legal drinking age are often served alcohol anyway at events because it’s become such a staple of American life.

Perhaps, then, it’s not so surprising that non-drinkers are not socially accepted.

Not drinking is outside the norm.

Unless one tells a well-worn story about their religious or health reasons for abstaining from drink-

ing, they are treated like outsiders.

Apparently “just not wanting to” is not a “legit-imate” reason for not drinking.

I don’t get it.To me it seems like plain

common sense to respect peoples’ choices in how they live their lives [pro-vided they aren’t hurting anybody].

When I go to a party and I see people who are not drinking, I don’t care.

When I see people who are drinking, I don’t care.

I don’t see why anyone else should be bothered by someone’s personal preference either.

I go to parties to have fun with people I like, not to sit around and discuss the pros and cons of our beverage choices.

But, I’ve noticed, peo-ple actually get them-selves worked up about non-drinkers.

They act as if alcohol

is a necessary ingredient in having a fun time, and that drinkers are barred from having a good time unless everyone else is drinking.

This causes drinkers to ask non-drinkers unend-ing questions about why they abstain from drink-ing, often ending in drama or fights that could’ve been avoided had every-one minded their own business.

According to David J. Hanson, professor emeri-tus of sociology at the State University of New York at Potsdam, “Societies in which there is strong social pressure either to drink or to abstain tend to have a high rate of alcohol related-problems.”

In order to avoid bum-ming ever yone’s mel-low at your next party, H a n s on s u g g e s t s , “People who choose not to drink should never be asked why they are not

drinking, should never be coaxed or encouraged to drink, and should never be made to feel odd or strange because of their choice.”

Just as you shouldn’t have to defend your choice to drink, you shouldn’t attack others for doing the opposite. Having a non-drinker at your party doesn’t mean they think they’re better than you or that they’re silently judging you. It just means there’s a Pepsi in their hand instead of a Budweiser.

You don’t have to do anything differently than what you’re already doing [provided, again, that you’re not hurting any-one]. It’s that simple. As Hanson says, “’Live and let live’ is the best policy for abstaining and moder-ate drinking.”

Julie HaughtFalcuty Columnist

Jan. 1, 2014, the University’s smoking ban goes into effect.

According to the University’s webpage, detail-ing this smoke-free policy, the ban reflects the University’s focus on a healthy environ-ment (http://www.bgsu.edu/offices/sa/recwell/well-ness/page133362.html).

The page offers useful links to smoking cessation resources ranging from the American Lung Association to the Ohio Department of Health. To the extent that this will contribute to a healthier campus, the plan is laudable.

Many of us know first-hand the devastating effects of tobacco use as we have watched relatives and friends struggle with a range of health complications that result from such use.

That said, we cannot help but wonder if this smoking ban is too small a step toward creating a healthy environment at the University. What would a healthy environment look like if it were fully realized?

Well, fasten your seatbelts, fellow Falcons, because our journey to an environ-mentally healthy campus is going to be a bumpy ride.

After the smoke-free policy is implemented, let’s implement a sugar-free policy. Well, not quite sugar-free, but a campus where the consumption of sugar-added foods and beverages is banned from all campus buildings.

According to the Mayo Clinic, overconsumption of sugar-added food and drinks contributes to poor nutrition, tooth decay, as well as other health prob-lems, including heart dis-ease (http://www.mayo-clinic.com/health/added-sugar/my00845).

If that is not enough to convince us that we must ban sugar-added foods and beverages, consider this: an April 27, 2012, Psychology Today article reports “Research indicates that a diet high in added sugar reduces the production of a brain chemical known as brain-derived neurotroph-ic factor (BDNF). Without BDNF, our brains can’t form new memories and we can’t learn (or remember) much of anything.”

If you cannot remember

much of anything, you are going to have difficulties in college.

So it looks like for a healthy and educational environ-ment, the sugar-added ban should be implemented.

Jonesing a little at the thought of not ‘Dunkin’ your ‘Donut’ in your dorm room?

Not to worry, you can still eat and drink sugar-added foods and beverages in des-ignated parking lots. Just like under the new smok-ing ban you can still smoke in designated parking lots. And, that is as it should be. After all, if you are going to engage unhealthy prac-tices, perhaps you deserve to be run over.

And, why stop at a tobac-co, sugar-added-food-and-beverage ban? Let’s ban the consumption of any processed foods in all campus buildings. Refined f lour, you’re history. Easy Mac? More like “Take it outside, Mac!”

Not to worry, though, because we will not see this healthier environment any-time soon at the University. There is too much money to be collected from the sugar-added, refined foodstuff we consume on campus.

The University has a ten-year “pouring rights” con-tract with Coca-Cola signed in 2007. The contract gives Coca-Cola the exclusive selling rights in exchange for a small allocation for student activities, etc.

According to the University’s Proposed FY 2013 General Fee and Related Auxiliary Budgets, “Commission revenues are used to enhance student activ it ies/programming, recycling, scholarships and programming asso-ciated with the student union.” After all, what’s a little tooth decay and cardiovascular disease compared to a free T-shirt provided by Coca-Cola for your upcoming club event?

But it is not just Coca-Cola. It’s Starbucks. It’s Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s Marco’s Pizza. It’s Jamba Juice. It’s Pinkberry.

Could it be that we are committed to a smoke-free environment because there is no money to be made any longer on college campuses from tobacco since poor Joe Camel passed?

smoking ban

Alcohol staple in American life, don’t be bothered by choices

Seasonal jobs at haunted houses more dangerous for employees, not customers

Emily gordoncolumnist

Bri HallerColumnist

The end of September marks the beginning of Halloween season, and the opening of haunted houses.

Most people have vis-ited at least one haunted maze, ride or house in their lifetime, paying to be frightened by mon-sters, ghosts and more. Since these Halloween venues are so much fun, actually working for one sounded like a blast. Teaming up with others, wearing awesome cos-tumes and scaring the masses? Sign me up.

However, the training was unexpected.

While a good portion of it contained advice on getting scares, almost half of it was cautionary words about the custom-ers themselves.

Sure, in any extreme situat ion, somebody might get hurt. Though the training made it sound more likely than not. People were half-expecting riot gear to be part of our costumes.

Warnings were given that customers may antagonize, grope and even assault costumed workers. Police patrol the

area for employee protec-tion. We were given whis-tles in case of emergency. A person may lash out when caught off guard by a ‘monster,’ but some individuals purposefully seek a confrontation.

Skepticism was high on the first night of scaring, but a few hours later, we were proven wrong.

A friend in a baggy coat was groped by a man try-ing to discover his gender. Several young women cir-cled through the house several times just to shout abuse at the female work-ers. Another employee was nearly slapped by a girl just for talking to the customer’s boyfriend.

Excuse me, but on what planet is that okay? We don’t go to other people’s places of work and feel them up. What is it about a Halloween costume that says “please, verbally or physically harass me, it’s perfectly acceptable.”

Adults are hardly bet-ter. Many bring small children, and even baby strollers, through the haunted areas. Then they scream at the workers for scaring the kids or wak-ing up infants.

It’s a haunted house, why would parents bring

babies and toddlers through a place meant to frighten adults? More importantly, why are we being blamed for your bad parenting? Pretty sure we had nothing to do with raising your kid.

Kids as old as 15 or 16 would get in people’s faces, throwing insults about everything from their looks to their abili-ties to scare. Others would attempt to worm their way into employee areas to scare other cus-tomers themselves. They pulled our hair, pushed us around and tugged at our costumes.

Somehow, in the minds of a few customers, haunted house workers are on the same level as punching bags.

Most people go for the thrill of the scares. The rest go for the chance to harass others without the fear of conflict.

We aren’t meant to touch or harm customers in any way, and teenagers are well aware of this. No matter how awful they are to employees, we aren’t supposed to fight back. All we can do is notify police or other workers in the area.

A child of eight years

old was kicked out of the venue for throw-ing things at the female workers, and ca l l ing them every vulgar term known to the English language. Eight years old, can you believe that?

W hi le t hese ex pe-r iences were la rgely u nplea sa nt , sc a r i ng as a whole has been a fantastic job. It’s sur-prising just how much or how litt le it takes to scare others. Some take extreme effort, and oth-ers wil l scream at the f irst si l ly phrase that comes to mind.

We are encouraged to tag-team, chase people and wait for the oppor-tune moment to frighten customers. Veterans told us that scaring teen-age girls is equivalent to shooting fish in a barrel, but it’s still hilarious.

Scaring is tremen-dous fun, but haunted house workers must be on their guard for these few, antagonistic indi-viduals. The irony is just too much, we’re far more leery of customers than they are of us. It shouldn’t be that way.

Many bars and clubs downtown are getting new looks and Liquid, formerly Sky Bar, is one of them.

Owner Douglas Doren said he had been planning to make the changes for more than a year and officially re-opened as Liquid several weeks ago.

Doren said it was time for a change and so they decided to renovate as well as undergo a com-plete management change.

The idea for the name came from a vision he had about the front entrance looking like a pool of water.

“It just seemed like a natural fit to complement the vision we had for that pool of water,” he said.

Doren said changing the name of a place is something that can really help a business.

“As you make drastic changes to a place, I think it’s important to have a name change,” he said. “It catches people’s attention and it gets their curiosity and changing

your name allows you to kind of hit the reset button so people are very interested in checking out a place with a new name.”

Junior Brooke Burkhart said she has not been to Liquid since it has changed, but did not have a good experience when it was still Sky Bar.

“If it’s changed I’ll give it a shot,” she said.

Freshman Anissa Spitler said she

A fter Nina Dav uluri, Miss New York, won Miss America on Sunday night, the racist comments began.

People throughout the U.S. spoke through social media about how a “ter ror ist ,” “Arab” and a “foreigner” was now the v ictor.

Was that too much to fathom for people? I know racism still exists, but I don’t think people should take advantage of their freedom of speech in such a negative way.

I even saw one person said Davuluri had ties to Al Qaeda. What gives you the right to assume such a horrible thing about an innocent human being? Davuluri was just trying to fulfill her dream of winning a huge pageant and succeeded. And now she’s being accused of being a terrorist.

People should think about how they grew up and the things they were taught from their parents, legal guardians or from whoever they were raised

by. Were there any morality les-sons learned?

Think about your own ethnic-ity. It amazes me how people can just live their lives not even considering other people’s race, but once it becomes an issue for several people, especially through television or on the Internet, it’s like this big con-formist problem and the hidden truth about how they really feel is unleashed.

We live in the U.S. where we have so much freedom and are able to say what we want whenever we want and many people take it for granted. Now Davuluri has to deal with false criticisms instead of enjoying her title of Miss America like she is supposed to.

You see, there’s this thing called a “conscience.” You know, it’s supposed to give you the feeling of what is right or wrong. I won’t allow myself to believe people calling Davuluri a terrorist just because she’s not white is the right thing to say, conscientiously speaking.

At least for myself, I can say I grew up with an accepting family and

Surrounded by the constant sound of objects clonk-ing together and the grunts from people who wel-come the pain, freshman rugby player Adam Regini is dressed in a stretched, faded cut-off bro tank, classic short shorts and drenched in the smell of determina-tion while working out at the Rec Center.

Regini said he usually goes to the Rec Center at the same time every day with his roommate and friend because they have a rhythm. He said being healthy and strong is important because you “gotta look good for the girls.”

“When working out with people it keeps you moti-vated and focused,” Regini said. “It’s like a competi-tion, but a friendly competition. And friends don’t let friends skip leg day.”

Before entering college, the majority of high school students have heard of the “freshman 15.” Those who feel like they’re gaining weight just by staring at food, might not always understand those who work out daily for different reasons that may be difficult to get.

Though some students feel working out can be a burden, some students find it to be an enjoyable hobby and one to get into right away as the new school year starts.

Health Educator in the Department of Recreation and Wellness Karyn Smith said establishing goals is key to making a behavior change because where people fail is when they don’t create a plan on how they’re going to achieve a goal. Set a realistic goal, something that is achievable but then you need to create a realistic plan on how you are going to achieve that, she said.

“If you fail to plan, you are going to plan to fail,” Smith said. “Finding something that you enjoy doing is crucial because you’re not going to make time for something you dread doing. Shop around, see what fits you and try new things. Having that constant reminder of why you are doing it can help when the desire is no longer there.”

Director of Wellness Faith Yingling said another issue is taking on too much when working out because people get overwhelmed and frustrated so they stop.

“Take things step by step, celebrate the small suc-cesses and work up to more challenging tasks as you go along,” Yingling said. “Having a workout buddy, exercising, good meals, getting enough sleep is all important and beneficial. Food gives you energy. Getting enough sleep helps your immune system and rejuvenates muscles. They’re all interrelated.”

After the start of the school year, more people decide to go the Rec Center to start out fresh. Smith said it’s easier for students to keep up with their workouts if they are able to sort out their free time.

“Make it a priority,” Smith said. ”Look at where your open gaps are on your schedule. Look at each week, month and schedule as if it were a class and something important.”

It’s not every day students are in search for hair, but if you are, a new hair boutique located in Bowling Green may be your go-to option.

Trill Tresses Hair Boutique is an online store for those who want hair extensions. The boutique started in January and officially opened for business three weeks ago by a University student, Simone Jackson.

“I always knew I wanted to start a business, I just wasn’t sure what I wanted it to be,” Jackson said. Jackson, a public relations major, wears hair extensions herself and the idea sparked her interest after she came

across a woman who sold them.“We buy the weave from a company in Brazil and our primary goal is to allow customers a versatile way of wear-

ing their hair for a more affordable price,” Jackson said. Jackson wants to provide a great product for college students on a budget, so students who attend the University

are offered a discount by liking Trill Tresses Hair Boutique Facebook and following them on Instagram.

will consider going to Liquid to see all of the changes that were made.

Spitler said when she went she thought some of the set-up was awkward.

“I didn’t like that every-thing was sectioned off,” she said.

As well as changing the name, the interior of the building has undergone some renovations.

“In the interior we stripped all the old light-ing for the dance floor and replaced it with state of the art LED lighting,” Doren said. ”We also have a plat-form for people to dance on and on the bar side we added new booths and did a complete lighting upgrade on that side as well.”

The exterior patio was also remodeled to give it a new feel.

“We added swings and sand around the perimeter of the outside bar to give it a tropical feel,” Doren said.

Doren said there might be a few other renovations later on, but for the time being they are done.

Although many plac-es in town have recently changed their names, it didn’t play a factor in the name change or the reno-vations to Liquid.

“I really didn’t have any idea these bars were chang-ing names or ownership until this semester when they re-opened,” he said. “It’s just a coincidence.”

Burkhart said bars keep-ing up to date serves as a great business move.

“It’s cool that the bars keep up to date,” she said.

Since re-open ing, Doren said the reactions to the new name and ren-ovations have been very positive so far.

am surrounded by peo-ple who really could care less about what ethnic-ity anyone is. It gives me an open mind about the world we live in. It allows me to remember that a soul dwells in every sin-gle body, one who has feelings, a beating heart, hair, fingernails. Just like me. Just like you. Just like

any breathing thing on this planet. If you put a deep effort into think-ing about ethnicity from anot her perspect ive other than what’s on your television or the Internet, good things can happen.

Senior Kieshawn Whaley won a photo challenge from Instagram, which is one reason why she decided to start buying from Jackson.

“I also want to support her as an entrepreneur,” Whaley said. “Plus, it is great quality hair.”

University students will receive free shipping with the promo code offered to them after liking and following their accounts.

“It’s a new business, so we are trying to promote stuff on Facebook. We will offer free promo codes periodically [in the future],” Jackson said.

Jackson sells three bundles of hair, which makes up a full head of hair. Depending on how long a customer wants the length of the weave to be, she offers lengths of 12, 14 and 16 inches long.

Customers can also buy the hair by the lot, which is three bundles (equals a full head of hair) and starts at a price of $200.

The price may be why some students are holding back to purchase, but Whaley said the price is good for the quality.

“If you get a bundle or two of hair for $60, it probably won’t last long and will be difficult to style,” she said. “You basically get what you pay for.”

Because students who are thinking of purchasing the hair may have some ques-tions because it is sold online, Jackson has answers.

“We see virgin hair, which is hair in its most natural state and has not been processed at all,” Jackson explained. “It will last a customer up to a year, which is unusual for a weave.”

Virgin hair also allows people to color and style the hair like they would their own without any difficulties.

Whaley enjoys the hair because she said it is easy to style and doesn’t tangle or shed easy.

“You can wear [it] like real hair,” she said.

Another concern that online buyers may come across is wanting to touch or inspect the hair before they make their purchase. Since

Jackson’s customers are most-ly from the Bowling Green area, she hasn’t had any prob-lems so far.

“I’m still trying to figure out the little things,” Jackson said. “It’s not something I want to pursue the rest of my life, but I’m glad I was able to start it and make it available for people.”

Even though Jackson doesn’t want this business to be her main focus after grad-uation, Gene Poor, instructor in the Marketing Department said it should be.

“Passion is the number one thing students need to have when opening a busi-ness,” Poor said. “They should walk, talk, vomit passion. It should be so soul deep inside them and they need to love it.”

While it may not be her absolute passion, she is still glad she was able to start this business.

“I just want students to have a way to purchase an expensive product for cheaper and add more ver-satility to their hair styles,” Jackson said.

The men’s soccer team made the trip to East Lansing, Mich. for a match against Michigan State Wednesday, Sept. 18.

The men could not score yet again and left Michigan with a 1-0 loss, bringing their record to 1-3-2.

“It was a disappointing game, we didn’t show up with the same men-tality we had in the past,” head soc-cer coach Eric Nichols said. “If you’re going to a team of Michigan State’s caliber and you don’t bring your best, you won’t get a result.”

The Falcons are in a bit of a scor-ing slump, not scoring in their last four games. They focus on bring-ing the ball up the field as a team from the defenders all the way to the offensive players Ryan James said. In these four scoreless games the Falcons have played team who are nationally and regionally ranked in Marquette, Milwaukee, Ohio State and Michigan State.

“We haven’t scored a goal in a while, but if we focus on defense we will be able to move up as a group,” James

said. “I feel like the last four games we haven’t been focusing really hard on picking our spots.”

The team is working to forget that rule with the quick turnaround for another away game, but this time it will be at Akron. Saturday at 1 p.m. they will face off against the number seven ranked Zips. Akron has been an elite soccer program for years and is always a tough game to travel to for any team in the country. It is one of the best college venues in the nation against one of the best teams in the nation, Nichols said.

“Akron plays arguably the best brand of soccer in the country. Some of the most talented players in the country come through Akron,” Nichols said.

This will open Mid-American Conference play for the Falcons this year as they can leave behind some of the tough losses against those elite conference teams.

“The MAC is a whole different monster,” forward Ryan Comisky said. “You get in the MAC and any team can knock off any team any given day, we are just ready for it to start.”

Akron won both last season’s meet-ings against the Falcons, both being with the score of 2-0 one at Cochrane Field and one in the MAC Tournament semifinal round. The Falcons last win against Akron came 11 years ago in a 1-0 victory at Cochrane Field and their last road win came in 1997.

“This is one of the top teams you get to play,” James said. “You should be happy to play one of the top teams in the nation.”

The Falcons marking around the field will be tested more in this game than they have been all season with Akron’s skill and talent, Nichols said.

“They rotate so much and they are so fluid in their movement,” Nichols said. “We will need to raise our game in those areas come Saturday.”

The Falcons will need to improve on their performance from Wednesday if they plan to beat one of the best programs in the country in Akron.

“I want a performance. Any kind of result would be good but I want a performance,” Nichols said. “I want to be able to walk off the field know-ing that we performed well, were pre-pared and left everything we had on the field.”

BG will be defending Doyt Perry Stadium Saturday against the Murray State Racers, a Football Championship Subdivision oppo-nent, following their loss against the Indiana Hoosiers this past weekend.

The Family Weekend matchup marks the third straight season BG has hosted a FCS opponent, but it is the first time that the FCS opponent has had a win under its belt before coming to BG.

When the Morgan State University Bears played the Falcons in 2011, they were 0-1. Then in 2012, the University of Rhode Island Rams came into the BG matchup 0-3 and finished the season 0-11.

Murray State is currently on a two-game winning streak and its record is 2-1. They were defeated by the University of Missouri Tigers 58-14 in the first week of the season, but defeat-ed NAIA member Campbellsville

83-14 in week two and Missouri State 41-38 this past weekend.

“This is certainly a team in the upper half [of FCS],” head coach Dave Clawson said. “They have a head coach who really knows what he’s doing with offense. They are very cre-ative. They play at a fast tempo. He’s not afraid to run trick plays anywhere on the field.”

Murray State is a team that consists of many Football Bowl Subdivision transfer players. Since a FBS player can transfer to FCS or lower and not take a one-year penalty, players come to Murray State if they don’t get a lot of playing time or other reasons.

Some players on Murray State’s roster have transferred from Division I schools including Ohio State University, the University of South Carolina, the University of Mississippi, the University of Kentucky, the University of Memphis,

BG loses first match against Big Ten opponent, prepare for national powerhouse Akron

Falcons face off against third FCS opponent in three years

By Tara JonesReporter

The BG women’s soccer team returns to Cochrane Field this Sunday, Sept. 22. The Falcons will take on Evansville in their final match before beginning MAC play.

The Purple Aces are 5-2-1 on the season, including an away record of 1-1-1. The Falcons sit at an overall record of 0-5-0 coming off of their loss to the University of Detroit Mercy on Tuesday. Head coach Lindsay Basalyga and her Falcons are looking to fine-tune several things for Sunday’s match, some of which are attacking and transitions.

“Over the next few days we’re going to continue to define ourselves in the attack,” Basalyga said. “I think we’ve done a great job over the last few games in transition and possessing through transi-tion; things we weren’t seeing last spring.”

Evansville leads their oppo-nents 12-5 in total goals for the season and has dominated in taking shots, outnumbering their opponents 155-92. The Falcons, however, trail their opponents in both categories, so they will need to have a

very strong match defensively if they want to win. Goalkeeper Lauren Cadel said her team is doing well defensively overall. Cadel said one thing her team-mates could do to help her is to go up and challenge every possession.

“I think defensively so far we’re doing a pretty good job. We just have to make sure we’re going up in the air and challenging for every ball,” Cadel said.

Getting ready to enter MAC play, the Falcons could benefit greatly from getting their first win Sunday and adding some momentum. This may seem like a potentially stressful situation for a young Falcon team with nine true fresh-man, but senior Kaitlyn Tobin said the freshman are up for the challenge.

“I think all the freshman came in ready to work and they’re doing a great job at mix-ing into the lineup,” said Tobin.

BG will have the opportu-nity to break their winless streak this Sunday against Evansville. The match is set to tip off at 1 p.m. at Cochrane Field. Following the match, the Falcons will be signing autographs and holding a free youth clinic.
