Doctoral program cutKeePiNGin TOUCh By Eric Lagatta

Campus Editor

When Joe Faykosh completes his doctorate in the History Department, he will be among the last ever to do so.

He, along with around five other doctoral students, were the final ones to be accepted into the pro-gram before the University sus-pended it in 2010. The University eliminated the program during the summer, following financial constraints.

“We knew when we came back in the fall [2009] that we were the last to be admitted,” Faykosh said. “One of us will be the last Ph.D to come out of here.”

The decline in funding for the University’s History Department doctoral program began in 1995, when the Ohio Board of Regents completely cut funding to many history doctoral programs in Ohio.

With this constriction in state

funding, the University moved to a model in which graduate educa-tion must be revenue neutral, a difficult task for the humanities, said Scott Martin, chair of the History Department.

“It’s next to impossible,” Martin said.

In addition to a yearly alloca-tion from the Graduate College, the bulk of the funding needed to come from tuition. But the program generated only a small amount of the tuition owed from their students because, as with many doctorate programs, the majority of this was paid from the program’s own scholarship allo-cation, said Michael Ogawa, dean of the Graduate College.

The average graduate student in any department pays as much as 45 percent of tuition, while the rest is subsidized, Ogawa said.

Since last year, the University rose from 184 to 181 in the U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of national universities.

The University has also moved from 103 to 101 in the rankings of public universities.

The list compares schools based on factors such as high school coun-selor rating, retention and gradua-tion rates and cost.

The University has made efforts to improve, but not for the purpose of gaining a higher ranking, said Rodney Rogers, provost and senior vice president of Academic Affairs.

“What we’re most focused on is ensuring that we’re providing a qual-ity education for our students and that each year we get better and bet-ter,” Rogers said.

Rogers attributes the University’s jump on the list to a variety of fac-tors, including higher selectiv-ity of incoming freshman and an improvement in faculty resource rat-ings. These take into consideration ACT scores and high school class

rankings of freshmen, faculty com-pensation and class size.

“What we’re wanting to do is to make sure that we are bringing in students that we know can be suc-cessful here at Bowling Green and will strive here at Bowling Green,” he said. “We continue to do very well with our six year graduation rate relative to our predicted graduation rate and that continues to be a strong point for Bowling Green.”

Vice Provost of Academic Affairs Sue Houston echoed a similar statement about the University’s priorities.

“Fundamentally, what it’s try-ing to do is really look at the good qualities of universities, so I think that most universities, and certainly BGSU, want to focus on student suc-

cess,” she said. “And those are also the things that are valued in this U.S News and World Report ranking.”

However, Houston recognizes some problems in the report.

“There are certainly some short-comings to the rankings as well, and a lot of it is self reported data,” she said.

While Rogers and Houston said that the University’s main concern is not in outside rankings, they recog-nize what impact they can have on admissions.

“It is certainly something that we use in our recruitment material and we talk to parents and students about it,” Houston said.

University sophomore Taylor Maibach has noticed the more obvi-ous, positive changes around the University.

“[McDonald Hall] is a lot newer, which is where I live so it’s nice,” he said.

Maibach’s main focus, though, when choosing to attend the University, was on his intended major.

“I didn’t even look at rankings, I just came because of the aviation program,” he said.

If students ever want to know how many hamburgers worth of energy it takes to power a building, a new touch screen in Offenhauer tells them just that.

There is a new interactive touch screen in Offenhauer’s lobby that displays real-time information about the building’s energy usage.

Awareness and understanding of energy uses is an impor-tant goal of the installation of the screen, said Sustainability

Some students view moving off cam-pus as a rite of passage after living in the residence halls.

However, other students choose to continue living on campus for a vari-ety of reasons.

Non-commuter students are required to live on campus for their freshmen and sophomore year.

Junior Chad Brown said among the things he misses most about living on campus is having a meal plan, and being close to events on campus.

“You hear a lot more of what’s going on,” he said. “[Events] are promoted more throughout the residence halls.”

There are approximately 700 upperclassmen living on campus who are not required to be, including resident advisors, said Sarah Waters, the director of Residence Life.

The number of students who reside

on campus that are not required stays near the same number each year, Waters said.

“There are between 500 and 800 depending on how many Greeks we have on campus,” she said.

Even with the demolition of the current Greek village being planned for the near future, Waters said she thinks the number of Greek upper-classmen will only decrease a small amount because of the lower “bed cap.”

“The fraternities and sororities will have dedicated space inside the traditional residence halls,” she said. “They have certain bed caps they need to meet.”

Waters said some of the sororities are going from a 36 bed cap to an 18 bed cap.

The upperclassmen who still live on campus often look toward the resi-

Check out the interactive blotter map at BGNEWS.COM Coordinator Nick Hennessy.

One way to accomplish those goals is to provide a vari-ety of units to convert energy usage. There are typical units like kilowatts and dollars, but students can also see how many hamburgers would be necessary to provide the same amount of energy.

On Sept. 25, Offenhauer used 8,412 kilowatts of elec-tricity, or 14,735 burgers’ worth of energy.

Hennessy said he hopes everyone can find at least one unit that helps them better understand energy usage.

In addition to up-to-the-minute energy usage updates, the screen’s features include Green Tips and Green Features.

Green Tips are “typical things that are going to apply to any campus or even a

household” in terms of energy saving, said Hennessy.

Green Features focuses on green or sustainable aspects of the campus, such as LEED-certified buildings and the Green Roof on top of The Oaks.

The screen is one part of the University’s larger goal to become carbon neutral. Hennessy said making ener-gy usage information more easily available will hope-fully lead to more informed decisions about energy usage.

The screen also shows information about energy usage in the Union and Olscamp Hall. Screens will soon be placed in those buildings.

The Union uses more ener-gy than Offenhauer (11877 kilowatts on Wednesday).

This is due to cooking, lighting, and the increased heating and cooling needs created by frequent enter-ing and exiting, said Energy

Manager Matt Rubel. Rubel said Olscamp’s

power usage (4604 kilowatts on Wednesday) is due to the building’s main energy users being computers and lights, and the lights being LEDs controlled by motion sensors.

Information about these buildings’ energy usage was available online about a year before the installation of the screen. That was good, said Hennessy, but “the screen makes all the difference in terms of exposure and the ability to interact” with the information.

The online energy dash-board was won in a national energy saving contest dur-ing this past spring semes-ter. Offenhauer was the resi-dence hall that decreased its energy usage most, so it made the most sense to put the screen there, Hennessy said.

The screens were paid for by the Student Green

Initiatives Fund, which stu-dents pay $5 per semester into unless they opt out.

Junior Lance Kruse, a member of Net Impact and a resident advisor in Offenhauer, was largely responsible for writing the proposal asking for and explaining the need for the screens.

Residents do notice the screen a lot, Kruse said.

One resident pointed out that the screen itself uses some energy, Kruse said. To limit this usage, it is turned off overnight. The goal is for the educational benefits to outweigh the energy cost, Kruse said.

Hennessy said that com-puters can be a big source of energy usage. If every stu-dent decreased their laptop’s energy usage— for example, by using sleep mode instead of a screensaver— the indi-vidual actions could collec-tively make a big difference.

HISTORy From Page 1state funding, maintaining the program was not fea-sible, he said.

But Ogawa said there is a chance for the program to return if members of the department come up with a plan to bring in the rev-enue needed to support it.

“I am encouraging them to continue looking for innovative ways,” Ogawa said. “We have to rethink the way we do business.”

But Martin is not opti-mistic.

“It’s a very cumbersome process that would take more than a year,” he said. And even then, “there is very little guarantee.”

After the elimination of the program altogether, the department can now

plan for its future.“It just left us hanging,”

Faykosh said of the suspen-sion. “It’s to the point now where we’re moving on.”

The plan for the depart-ment is to transition its pri-orities and focus more on the master’s program. This might include changes to hiring practices and revi-sions to the curriculum.

Faykosh is also an adjunct instructor. He said undergraduate students will also be effected by the change, as having a gradu-ate student as a teacher can have its benefits.

“We were able to get into some more exploratory discussions,” he said. “I’ve gone through what they’re going through more recently.”

After Faykosh got his master’s from the University, the quality

of the doctoral program made him want to stay.

“It was a very well-regard-ed program,” Martin said. “Our graduates were placed in good academic jobs.”

A number of stu-dents in the program have been awarded the University’s Distinguished Dissertation Award and some have even received the Ohio Academy of History’s Distinguished Dissertation Award.

The program is also one of the few doctoral pro-grams with a focus on pol-icy history, Martin said.

“It’s demoralizing. Faculty have worked extremely hard and extremely well to build this program,” Martin said. “The quality of the curriculum and the stu-dents speaks for itself.”

For Faykosh, though,

the elimination of the program is indicative of a widespread attitude toward the humanities.

“It reflects on the larg-er trend in the coun-try,” Faykosh said. “The humanities are among the least prized of our fields.”

The cost for each doctoral student in the History Department per year

■ $22-25,000 for in-state students

■ $29-32,500 for out-of-state students

*Numbers are for students taking 12-18 credits and also factor in stipends for assistantships. All numbers according to the Graduate College

dence halls that offer more pri-vacy or amenities they did not have their first year.

Waters said that two popu-lar buildings for upperclass-men are Founders Hall and Falcon Heights.

Some students stay for the financial aid and awards that can only be claimed when liv-ing on campus, Waters said.

The flexibility of leasing space on campus also exceeds that of leasing a space off cam-pus, Waters said.

“Off-campus leases don’t care if you’re going to be stu-

dent teaching in the spring or you’ve got an internship aligned,” Waters said. “You can’t easily break your off campus lease.”

Some students may choose to stay on campus because of the benefits it can offer.

Assistant Dean of Students Deborah Novak said the close proximity to their classes is one of the benefits for students that live on campus.

Novak said one thing she hears students say they miss is having a meal plan.

“They miss not having the convenience of some place to go quickly for a meal outside of fast food,” she said.

Church Directory

St. Aloysius might share the block with Bowling Green’s famous Taco Bell, but Father Mark Davis

joked “We are not Our Lady of Chalupa!”

St. Aloysius Catholic Church was founded in 1862 in a rather unique way. Twelve local farmers got together to build a place to worship. Ironically, all the farmer’s names were Saint names. They put all their names in a hat and randomly chose Saint Aloysius (Pieffer), which later became the church’s official name. Aloysius Gonzaga was later named the church’s patron saint, “not after Gonzaga University in March Madness,” laughed Father Mark.

The church has continued to grow in size to the current 3,500 member total.

In 1960 St. Aloysius added on a school, which has also continued to flourish. The school now includes everything from kindergarten readiness all the way up to eighth grade. St. Aloysius prides itself on educating youth in a religious centered environment.

St. Aloysius is also very active in the Catholic Youth Organization that is run through the Toledo Diocese.

CYO offers cross country for boys and girls grades K-8, girls volleyball grades 4-12, boys football grades 5-8 and basketball for both boys and girls grades 5-12.

St. Aloysius has extended their outreach to the Hispanic community in recent years. They offer a bilingual Mass on the third Sunday of each month at Noon and an all Spanish Mass at 2 p.m. on the first Sunday of each month. They also offer a Spanish Bible Study (Estudio de Biblia en Español) at 7 p.m. every Wednesday evening and an all Spanish hour of adoration (Guerreros de Cristo) on the first and third Mondays of each month at 7 p.m.

St. Aloysius conducts Mass every Saturday at 5:30 p.m. and also every Sunday at 8 a.m., 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. - plus coffee and donuts!

“At St. Aloysius we make a real effort to be welcoming to everyone; including people of other faiths. We are diverse but unified in the faith,” said Father Mark.

THE BG NEWS SUBMISSION POLICY

Cities and perceptions change over the years

Today’s generation has problems with technology

Free speech important, ability to speak great

I grew up in Norwalk, Ohio. It is a typical Midwestern town of 16,000 residents.

In the 1980’s, it was a great place to grow up. Norwalk is situated 60 miles east of Toledo and 60 miles west of Cleveland.

Even before I could drive, my dad would occasionally take my late mom, all of us kids and the old station wagon to the city. It was mostly sightseeing but it was always fun.

Usually that city was Cleveland. I came to appreciate the charms of Cleveland and always wanted to move there one day when “I was big.” I never got to live in Cleveland, but I did even-tually make it to the other big city Dad would drive us to: Toledo.

I live one mile outside of the Toledo city lim-its, so I count myself as a resident. Toledo is a typical Rust Belt city; the jobs are gone, crime is perceived as high and the schools are also per-ceived as crummy.

There is some truth to the last two and much truth in the first point. With that being said, the hayseed in me still gets a thrill being in the city. It reminds me of being young and full of won-der. It reminds me of the baseball and hockey games my dad took us to. It reminds me of when my dad was young and physically vital and when my mom and oldest sister were alive. It reminds me of my great friend Doug, who got his bachelor’s and master’s degree at the Unversity of Toledo. It reminds me of many great things.

Toledo has many great things to offer. A world-class zoo, a remarkable art museum for a city of its size. Minor league hockey and baseball are also great family entertainment.

While the University of Toledo is our most bit-ter rival, it too is a great place to receive an educa-tion. When one mixes in Owens, Lourdes, Mercy College and quick access to our University, the opportunity for excel-lent higher education is

highly available to Toledo residents.

A la s, present-day Toledo also reminds me of how it once was. The Toledo I visited as a teenager and younger had 100,000 more resi-dents than it does now. It had plentiful jobs for the uneducated, jobs that built a middle-class in America. These jobs were the kind that did not require a master’s degree to buy a home, car and education for your kids. This was thriving Toledo; the Glass City, an indus-trial powerhouse. Those days are over sadly and those jobs are in places like Vietnam, China and Mexico.

Why did these jobs leave? Some say union greed. Some say sound economic policy and some say it is the indus-trial cycle at work. I say it is pure, unadulterated greed. Big business did to Toledo what it did to most of our big cities and what it has done to almost all of our small towns. The jobs leave for higher profits and municipal, econom-ic, social and yes, famil-ial ties are torn apart. All for a higher stock quote and a CEO’s fifth house. Toledo is a microcosm of what has happened to our nation in the last 35 years. We are all lessened by it.

That being said, I still love Toledo and I stil l think it is a great city. I am leaving the Glass City this Saturday. My family and I are start-ing a new adventure in Columbus. While my col-umn will continue and I will commute to Bowling Green twice a week to finish graduate school, I will miss Toledo. I am confident though that I will certainly fall in love with our capital city too. Columbus represents a new start and a new adventure. I am lucky to be going there with my wife Rachel and my step-daughter Emma. A new adventure is always better when accompa-nied by the ones you love most. So I am say-ing goodbye to Toledo, just as I will say goodbye to the University come spring. Both will remain in my heart.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

paul mckenziecolumnist

“Wait a minute. I can write anything I want on the wall, even something vulgar?”

I wish I could say that I was surprised by the student’s question, but it was one I heard multiple times on Monday, when the University’s Young Americans for Liberty chapter hosted its free speech event. If you were near the Union on Monday, you may have seen the free speech wall, which was open for everyone to speak their mind.

You might expect free expression to be in abun-dance at a university. This isn’t always the case.

This past year, an attempt was made to curb students’ rights on campus when a peti-tion was circulated to effec-

tively increase restrictions on the University’s limited free speech zones.

The initiative began as something that many stu-dents could get behind: ban-ning the confrontational evangelist from campus. For some students he’s offen-sive. For others, he’s merely annoying. Any measure that made the short walk to class a little less obnoxious was worth the signature.

The inclination never grew into anything serious; for what would have become of the simultaneous abortion protests that took place?

The pictures of fetuses and unborn babies were egre-gious and horrifying, but that was exactly the sentiment the group Created Equal wished to instill in students. Many students complained about what they saw, but something much more important hap-pened that day. The feminist organization on campus con-

cerned with women-empow-erment held a counter-protest, in which they also conveyed their opinions on the issue.

Throughout the week, letters were sent to the edi-tor, columns were written, signs were painted and most importantly, conversations were started.

As the good doctor Ron Paul said, “We don’t have free-dom of speech to talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so we can say very controversial things.”

Coincidentally, Banned Books Week takes place this week.

This annual celebration is designed to emphasize the freedom to read, free from censorship.

Of course, censorship effects books like “Captain Underpants” and “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but remem-ber that such classics as “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” “To Kill a Mockingbird”

and even “The Catcher in the Rye” were also banned in libraries and schools.

For free expression to truly be free, all expression must be permissible.

One of my life-long favorite quotes comes from the author Franz Kafka. He writes, “I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. ... A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”

I view free speech in much the same light as I do censored literature. Make the deplor-able remarks fall on edu-cated ears. Drown the poor speech with more speech. We maintain the right to speak our mind for those instances when it is most controversial, for those are the ideas that truly shape our world and change history.

Panhellenic Council supports Phi MuTo the editor of The BG News:

On behalf of the Panhellenic Council at BGSU, we would like to speak in support of our Phi Mu sisters. We feel the article featured in the Friday, Sept. 6, edition of the news was insensitive to the women of the chapter. Sept. 6 was the first day of Formal Recruitment for the Panhellenic Council. It was also the first time the Phi Mu chapter at BGSU was unable

to participate in the process. It is important to realize that the women of Phi Mu were and continue to be hurt and disappointed by the decision to suspend their chapter.

The decision to suspend the chapter was made by Phi Mu Headquarters in the best interest of the chapter and was not due to their “person-alities.” Further, the quotes regarding why the chapter had been suspended from Holly Grunn, the Panhellenic Council adviser, were writ-ten out of context. This, in

addition to the investigative nature of the article, led read-ers to believe that there was the possibility of suspicious activity on top of member-ship issues. In reality, the chapter was struggling with general chapter operations, which was a result of low membership numbers.

Finally, it is important to realize that the women who were a part of the undergraduate chapter were granted alumnae status and will therefore remain members of Phi Mu

Fraternity and students at BGSU. With that, we, as the Panhellenic Council, felt it necessary to bring these concerns to light so we can continue to support these women as members of our Panhellenic sisterhood.

We hope that further under-standing and consideration is displayed in future articles.

When I look back on the begin-ning of my college career, I often question why I decided to live on campus.

After my first year, I could have lived in an apartment or at one of my parents’ house. Perhaps I enjoyed the bene-fits of a meal plan; perhaps I didn’t want to deal with noisy neighbors and have to worry about dropping the hammer on them. There are a myriad of reasons I could think of, but one thing is for certain: it wasn’t to weakly attempt to socialize with individuals who seem less and less interested in face-to-face contact. As a gen-eration, we’ve bitten greedily into the Apple that has opened

a proverbial Pandora’s Box of problems.

I had recently been introduced to the #Firstworldproblems Twitter page.

At the time, I thought noth-ing of its greater implications and laughed at the ridiculous things people in well-off coun-tries complain about.

But then I took a step back and dug a little deeper. I real-ized that people not wanting to socialize with each other because they’re too preoc-cupied with their phones speaks to a much larger prob-lem within our generation. Whether it comes from being spoiled as a child or from the general culture shock of hav-ing to talk face to face for lon-ger than five minutes about something, we have a prob-lem with technology.

This led me to conclude that either our generation is

very cognizant of our lack of perspective and addic-tion to technology. We are in touch with it so intimately that we can transcend its seriousness through humor, or that the existence of #Firstworldproblems repre-sents an irony so blatant, it’s almost sad.

I’ve seen the issue in other areas of our society as well. Namely, in the people who cried out in anguish when they couldn’t download iOS7 immediately. It’s easy to lose perspective about how good our lives are. I’m not trying to speak for everyone, because many people who go to the University had to work very hard to get where they are. However, I’m willing to bet next to none of us are wondering where our next meal is coming from. All of this troubles me because as we move into the phase of

our lives where many people are starting families, we’re in danger of passing this same attitude on to our children.

If this happens, then maybe the conspiracy theorists who postulate that American society is on the brink of becoming an authoritarian dystopia inhabited by mindless, fearful, complicit nincompoops won’t seem so crazy anymore. And maybe they’ll finally feel the need to get off Reddit and run for political office. We have a lot of advantages and despite our problems as a generation, we also have great potential to make the world a better place. Let’s not throw it away because that next level of Candy Crush is so enticing.

PEOPLE ON THE STREET On a scale of one to 10, how high would you rank the University and why?“Seven. It’s kind of pricey.”

“Eight. I really like it here but the buildings are too spread out.”

“Eight. The University is above average in many areas but there are still small things that they could work on like A.C. in all the dorms.”

“Eight. Everyone is very friendly here.”

The BG Men’s soc-cer team hits the road Friday, heading out to face Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia.

The Falcons will play their third road game in a row.

BG lost their first MAC game of the season to Akron last Saturday 0-1. According to head coach Eric Nichols, they played a great game against Akron, they just couldn’t follow through on the chances they created.

The key to winning against Marshall is “con-tinuing to defend really well and create chances,” said Nichols. BG is looking for its first win to snap its winless streak as BG has lost four games and tied the other two, making the record for this season 1-4-2. “We are just learning from our mistakes and trying to get better,“ said Vlad Lekarev.

The Fa lcons have improved more on all sides of the field, and the best is yet to come with this team, Nichols said.

“We can always improve I don’t think that settling or being satisfied about where we are at is ever good so I think we are always trying to get better

on both sides of the ball,” said senior Brandon Silva. “I think we can improve. We can always be better defensively, we can always do things better offensive-ly and that’s what we are trying to do just get better from game to game”

BG doesn’t plan on changing up much going into this upcoming game, in fact, Nichols said, the team doesn’t think they need to change anything offensively, because they are creating chances. BG just has to follow through on them.

The last few home games have had record-setting crowds, with the last one counting more t han 3,000 people in attendance. W hile being on the road for the next three games, The Falcons are tr ying to keep that motivation going.

“Our home ga mes recently have been such a boost for us because we have such great crowds we know that’s not going to be the case, I think we make more of a certain effort to get ourselves menta l ly excited and arose for the road games,” Nichols said.

BG is preparing to face Ma rsha l l t h is Fr iday. After wards they plan to get back on the road to face Northern Kentucky on Sunday at 1 p.m.

The BG women’s soc-cer team opens up Mid-American Conference play this weekend with a trip to Ohio University Friday, Sept. 27, and then to Kent State Sunday, Sept. 29. The 0-6-0 Falcons are still seeking their first win of the season.

One of Head Coach Lindsay Basalyga’s main focuses this year is figuring out who the Falcons are as a team. Basalyga feels BG’s nonconference play thus far has revealed many of the team’s strengths and weak-nesses, which has helped in developing the team’s over-all identity.

“I definitely think that we have started to establish our strengths as a team, and in

finding our strengths, that’s identity, said Basalyga. “I definitely think through nonconference play we have established an identity that is going to make us who we are going into the MAC.”

The Falcons’ first oppo-nent of the weekend, The Ohio University Bobcats, has a record of 4-2-2 and is currently on a five-match unbeaten streak.

The Bobcats, with Head Coach Aaron Rodgers in his first year as a collegiate head coach, are 1-2-1 at home.

Ohio leads the Falcons 10-2-4 on the series between the teams and has won the last 2 meetings. The Falcons fell to OU last year 1-0 at Cochrane Field. The Bobcats, returning 14 letter-winners and 7 starters, were picked to finish third in the East Division of the MAC

preseason coaches poll. Redshirt senior co-cap-

tain Jenny Fowler has had her fair share of encounters with Ohio, and has a good idea of what to expect from the Bobcats on Friday.

“I know from experience when we played them in the past they’re a really hard-working, blue-collar team,” Fowler said. “They’re really aggressive so I’m expecting that, and I’m expecting them to get forward a lot, but the same time I know that they leave themselves vulnerable for the counter attack.”

The Falcons’ other oppo-nent this weekend, Kent State, sits at an overall record of 5-3-0, including a 4-0-0 record at home. Bowling Green leads the series 10-4-5, with last year’s battle at Cochrane ending in a 0-0 draw in double overtime.

That game marked the tenth overtime match in 19 series meetings between the Falcons and the Golden Flashes. BG has only allowed one goal by Kent State since 2004, which came in 2011. The Golden Flashes have been picked to place second in the MAC East Division preseason coaches poll.

Freshman Haley Malaczewski believes the MAC has a reputation for its physicality. She is expecting a physical battle with Kent State on Sunday.

“I expect them to be a lot [more] physical because I’ve heard that MAC is way more physical and intense, so we’re expecting to be more ready to play,” Malaczewski said.

Friday’s match at Ohio is set for 4 p.m., and Sunday’s match at Kent State will start at 1 p.m.

The BG football team will host Mid-American Conference opponent the University of Akron Zips Saturday, follow-ing its 49-7 victory against FCS opponent, Murray State University.

The 3-1 Falcons are com-ing off a big win against Murray State, following their 42-10 loss against the Indiana University Hoosiers in the third week of the season.

BG is one-third of the way through its 2013 campaign and its 3-1 record marks the fourth time it has done so in the past decade. The last time BG started its sea-son 3-1 was in 2011, when it defeated the University of Idaho, Morgan State University and the Miami University, but lost to the University of Wyoming.

Despite not making the postseason in 2011, the Falcons reached 3-1 at the one-third mark both 2007 and 2003.

In 2007, the Falcons defeated the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Temple University Owls and the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers, but were defeated by the Michigan State University Spartans.

In 2003, BG defeat-ed Eastern Kentucky University, No. 13 ranked Purdue University and Liberty University before being defeated by the defending national champi-ons, No. 6 ranked Ohio State University.

Of these three times the

Falcons have gone 3-1 in the first four games, they have gone on to bowl games, with the only exception being 2011. They defeated Northwestern University in 2003 and lost to the University of Tulsa in 2007.

Despite the early success, head coach Dave Clawson keeps the team focus on the opponent at hand, and this week it is the Akron Zips.

“Every one of these games is a championship game,” Clawson said. “You never know at the end of the year which one, you could lose one and be out of it.”

BG is ahead of the pack in the MAC-East with a 1-0 division record after its 41-22 win at Kent State University in Week 2. There have been no other MAC-East matchups since then.

“I think Akron is an improv-ing program,” Clawson said. “If you watch them on film, they have had skill. Last year they were close in a lot of games, but late games last year they would wear down a little bit.”

In the past four years, Akron has had 10 games lost by seven points or less, including the 28-24 near-upset against the No. 11 ranked University of Michigan Wolverines two weeks ago, and last week’s 35-30 loss against the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns.

The Zips went 1-11 in 2012, 2011 and 2010 with their wins coming against Morgan State, the Virginia Military Institute

“Breaking Bad” isn’t a typical television show; the hit drama has become a world-wide phenomenon.

Walter White, a former Chemistry teach-er, becomes a criminal when he is diag-nosed with terminal cancer. Knowing that he would be unable to provide for his family on a teacher’s salary, he uses his Chemistry skills for something else entirely: cooking Crystal Meth.

And if that isn’t enough to grab your atten-tion, he also teams up with a former student

named Jesse Pinkman. Besides an original concept, the show offers much more.

Becca Cragin, instructor in the department of Popular Culture, said in an email that “Breaking Bad” focuses on more complex issues that other shows don’t touch.

“‘Breaking Bad’ is widely recognized as a quality show, comprised of excellent writing, acting and cinematography,” Cragin said. “It is a prominent example of the recent trend in television toward more complex and serial-ized narratives which allow the storyline to

Drama series attracts viewers through writing and acting

By Geoff BurnsPulse Editor

After character Jesse Pinkman asked Walter White if he was going to “break bad” in season one episode one “Pilot,” it set the tone of viewers to think ethically and morally.

Throughout the “Breaking Bad” series, chemistry high school teach-er and lung cancer patient Walter White knows he’s going to die, and decides he needs to start cooking and selling methamphetamine. He

plans this in order to provide for his family so they are not in debt from his hospital bills after he dies.

White teams up with Pinkman and heads straight into the meth business and ultimately becomes the top drug lord, also known as Heisenberg. Getting to the top, how-ever, included killing people, lying to his family and becoming the most wanted villain in the area.

Viewers of the show are left to

build across episodes. This kind of long form of televi-sion allows viewers to invest in an extended story arc that explores more complex issues, and allows deeper identification with characters.”

“Breaking Bad” has caught the attention of college students all across the country for a variety of reasons.

Junior Jacob Diehl was brought in by the unusual main character and the heart pounding plot. He said “the chemistry between Walt and Jesse” kept him watching more and more.

“It’s intense, displays a unique main character and has great acting,” Diehl said. “The general population is interested in the anti-hero.”

Although some viewers were brought in by the plot, the complex characters were the selling point for many others. All of the characters face difficult decisions causing them to reconsider who they really are and who they are going to become.

Sophomore Kelby Ricks was brought in by the relat-able values and continued watching because of Walt’s drastic personality change.

“It’s really well written and has really good character development,” Ricks said. “It’s relatable to most audi-ences and features well-known actors.”

The show is finally coming to an end, as the season five finale airs Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC.

“I got really invested in the show and fell in love with the characters and plot-line,” Ricks said.

BREAKING From Page 6

think if it’s ethically right for White to get into the drug busi-ness to provide for his family or if it’s completely morally wrong in committing such actions.

Adam White, adjunct instructor in the department of philosophy and former instruc-tor of ethics, is a fan of the tele-vision drama and said White is considered an ethical egoist, meaning he is only serving his own interest. His decisions are based upon the fact he has lung cancer, he said.

“His lung cancer is making him morally invisible into him thinking he is going to die really soon so it doesn’t matter what he does,” Adam said. “Walter is creating all of these bad out-comes and that is why we can identify him as being immoral.”

White’s character changes throughout the seasons fol-lowing as he becomes more and more involved with the drug business, causing people to have mixed feelings toward the chemist.

Graduate Assistant in the department of Philosophy Ryan Fischbeck said the more you see White’s story and motivations as the series pro-gresses, the more you either sympathize for him or think his activity is wrong. You might think White is held account-able simply because of his pride when thinking about his

ethical actions, he said.“It leads us to think that what

he did was wrong, but that said, how different is it from the starving mother who steals a loaf of bread to feed her kids and having us think that is right,” Fischbeck said. “He is certainly less of a good person than he was at the beginning of the show. You are supposed to be very conflicted about how you feel about White.”

Senior and avid “Breaking Bad” fan Zack Dempsey has seen every episode and said it’s not ethically or morally right for White to be cooking and selling meth to provide for his family because he had his sis-ter-in-law Marie and brother-in-law Hank to help support his family after he dies and he even turned down the paid treatment offered from his friends at Gray Matter.

“I get why he’s doing it and the reasons for doing it are good but he should have taken the money from his friends and family,” Dempsey said. “He let his pride get in the middle of having people pay for his things and if he would have taken the help, he would not started cooking meth and become the evil guy he is right now.”

Though the television drama leads many fans to think about the ethical decisions made from the characters, many will ultimately find out whether it was ethically right for White to “break bad” after the series finale on Sunday.

BAD From Page 6

After five seasons and 61 episodes, one of the greatest television dramas will end Sunday at 10:15 p.m.

If last week’s audience levels are any indication, upwards of 6.4 million peo-ple will tune in for the series finale of “Breaking Bad.”

“Breaking Bad’s” bril-liance cannot easily be overstated. The show is, in a word, iconic.

All the meticulous details— everything from the way characters dress and talk, to the way scenes are composed and shot, to the unusual choice in music, have made the show a pop culture phenomenon.

Think Walter White’s (Bryan Cranston) Wallabees and chinos, or Jesse Pinkman’s (Aaron Paul) colorful language. And of course the classic death of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), as he walks out of the room after an explo-sion and the camera pans to reveal, well, you know.

Then there’s the intri-cate attention to the plot,

with numerous and subtle instances of foreshadowing, and the complex develop-ment of characters.

But after approximately 6 million people have invested nearly 3,000 minutes watch-ing the series, what can the audience take away? In other words, in “Breaking Bad’s” morally dubious world, what is the moral of the story?

The show is primarily an exploration of morality and what it means to be “bad.”

Creator Vince Gilligan delves into this concept through the lens of imper-fect and deeply flawed characters.

Every character, while hyperbolic, exemplifies a dif-ferent notion of “goodness” and “badness.” Each oper-ates under a different moral code and often as not, they serve as a foil for one another (Hank is a foil to Walt, is a foil to Jesse, is a foil to Todd, etc.)

For Walt the means have always justified the ends, and often, the means are other people, mainly Jesse. And Walt deceives himself into thinking that he’s a fam-ily man pretending to be a drug lord, when in reality it’s the other way around.

Hank Schroeder (Dean Norris) perhaps has the

most moral aim in the series— getting meth, and the dangerous criminals involved in its traffick-ing, off the streets. But his methods are ethically ques-tionable. He isn’t opposed to manipulation, intimi-dation and perhaps illegal uses of wiretapping to get what he wants.

Even Skyler (Anna Gunn) didn’t hesitate to ask Walt to kill.

So the moral center of the show, despite all his flaws, is Jesse. It’s Jesse alone who recognizes his badness and feels an immense guilt for it.

Unlike Walt, Jesse has a conscience, and the means, especially when the means are children, don’t always justify the ends. Jesse has also always had a soft spot for kids.

We first see this when he protects his younger brother by taking the blame for a joint his parents found. It is further evidenced by his affection for Brock and his fury with Todd Alquist (Jesse Plemons) for shooting a child.

So, the moral of the story is that there’s a difference between right and wrong, but what makes a person “bad” or “good” is harder

to define— is it actions, motives or some blend of the two?

The show’s themes also touch on the notion of American individualism, and our fascination with the anti-hero who sticks it to society.

The rugged setting in Albuquerque, New Mexico is fitting for this modern day tale of the wild west outlaw.

In the roughly two years of Walt’s escapades, he has left a trail of devastation in his wake that includes a high body count, the poi-soning of a child and the ruining of countless lives, yet despite this, the audi-ence still roots for him.

It’s perhaps that people connect with the disem-powered schoolteacher who takes on the role of an outlaw.

And perhaps we all see a little bit of ourselves in Walter White. Maybe not on the level of a meth-cooking, cold-blooded killer, but the desire to be “bad,” risk danger and do things we never thought capable, is there.

In the end, what we can take away, if nothing else, is that we’re all one step away from breaking bad.

Television drama to end, leaves permanent iconic impact on viewers, fans

and the University of Buffalo, respectively.

BG defeated Akron 24-10 on the road this past sea-son, and boasts a 4-2 record against the Zips since 2003. The Falcons have not lost to the Zips since 2006.

“They’re a much more experienced group than they were a year ago,” defensive end Zach Colvin said. “They’re a much improved team and they’re headed in the right direction right now.”

Two weeks ago, Akron had the chance to beat Michigan with the ball inside the Wolverine’s 5-yard line with mere sec-onds left, but was unable to convert a touchdown on the final play of the game.

“It shows that they defi-nitely have the ability to play,” Colvin said. “They went head-to-head with Michigan the whole time and it was no fluke that they were in the game.”

The Falcons continue their three-game homes-tand against the University of Akron Zips at 2:30 Satuday at Doyt Perry Stadium.
