Instead of sitting in the bottom of closets or dumpsters, ragged shoes, sandals and boots can now be recycled at the University.

The University promoted the program through the Common Reading assignment, “Born To Run” by Christopher McDougall, a book about a tribe in Mexico who excel in running long distances without shoes.

“This is a good fit because people go through a lot of shoes and it’s hard to find a sustainable outlet to get rid of them,” said Nick Hennessy, sustainability coordina-tor and member of the Common Reading Committee, which created the program.

The program will span the month of October and col-lection bins can be found in each residence hall, Jerome Library, Union and Sebo Center, Hennessy said.

The collection started with a Fun Run outside the library on Tuesday morning with McDougall, where the first pair of shoes were donated, Hennessy said.

The donated shoes will benefit EcoErek, a philan-thropy started by Erek Hansen, who donates shoes and denim to be recycled for playground mulch, rubber turfs and insolation for cars and houses. Hansen, an Ohio resident, started recycling when he was 8 years old and

For students like Sherry Early, panic was the first emotion felt when she found out she had to pay more than $700 to purchase a commence-ment gown, hood and tam.

“You kind of don’t start to think about that stuff until you start to gradu-ate,” said Early, a doctoral stu-dent graduating in December. “I really wish I would have known walking in, because then

I could have been more intentional about saving.”

Pam Oler, a sales manager at the University Bookstore, is in charge of regalia orders and said she sends out an email to all the doctoral stu-dents who apply for graduation. The deadline to purchase regalia for the December ceremony is Oct. 28.

“It explains how they go about placing a rental order or how to pur-chase [regalia],” she said. “Most rent because it’s expensive.”

Whether renting or purchasing, students may be able to get help with graduation through Graduate Student Senate.

GSS is offering an award for the first time this year to help students pay for regalia.

“There were graduate students not participating because they couldn’t afford to purchase regalia to walk,” said Martha Schaffer, vice president of the Graduate Student Senate.

For doctorate students, purchasing regalia costs $769 not including tax, possible shipping and without taking off the 10 percent graduate student discount, Oler said. To rent regalia, it costs students about $170.

“We’re right in line with all the other colleges,” Oler said. “The gowns are handmade.”

The reason for the expense is because the gowns are handmade with special piping, the University seal, University brown and velvet fab-ric, Oler said. The design and details were chosen by a previous president, she said.

Lingxiao Ge, GSS president, said she’s not sure how many students the award will be able to help, but she’s

Cigarettes are now available in different f lavors like mint, chocolate and fruit.

The cigarettes that are avail-able in the unique f lavors are actually electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are battery-pow-ered devices that have nicotine in them, said Faith Yingling, Director of Wellness.

Currently at the University, e-cigarettes are not prohib-ited and when the clean air policy goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014, e-cigarettes will still be allowed on campus, said Michael Ginsburg, assistant dean of students.

The campus community was not only able to get information on a healthy lifestyle, but could also get fresh food at a farmer’s market on Tuesday.

The University hosted its annual health fair in the Union Ballroom with a farmer’s market outside the Union.

A HEAD START IN THE JOB MARKETProgram to provide for homeless, raise awarenessProject Homeless Connect will host event at St. Mark’s Lutheran church on Oct. 18

By Danae KingEditor-in-Chief

Homeless people may be stu-dents, relatives, friends and co-workers, and there are 145 of them in Wood County.

Homelessness is something people often associate with urban areas, but it’s also some-thing that affects suburban areas.

Project Homeless Connect is a national program that aims to aid homeless people and raise awareness about home-lessness. It’s coming to Wood County for the first time on Oct. 16.

“It’s an opportunity for peo-ple who are homeless or pend-ing homeless to access goods and services in one place,” said

Tricia Peters, publicity co-chair for the event.

Taking place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church on South College Drive, the event is a “huge collabora-tion,” Peters said.

There are many community partners involved, and at the University, the Office of Service Learning, the Social Work Program and an art class are involved.

Janet Ballweg, professor of Art, got connected to the proj-ect through University Director of Service Learning Jane Rosser. Ballweg used the partnership as a service learning project for her screen printing class.

Her class of about 15 students spent a few hours this past

week making t-shirts for the volunteers at the event.

“Everybody worked really well as a team to get the job done,” Ballweg said.

Project Homeless Connect members even joined in and helped.

“Because [they were] there to help ... it felt like we were work-ing with them,” Ballweg said.

“It really felt during the event that students were pretty engaged and will-ing to stay and see the project through.”

Ballweg doesn’t usu-ally take on projects like Project Homeless Connect for her service learning class, but this “felt like it was the right thing to do,” she said.

“It’s a completely vol-untary event and a huge event for BG,” she said. “To raise awareness for homelessness.”

She said the project brought her class closer together and helped the students “get a sense that they were involved in a larger project.”

Senior Ashleigh Rothrock participated in the screen-printing project and said she thinks the project is important to do here because it raises awareness of homelessness.

“It’s a college town and all college students don’t really see past their col-lege selves,” she said. “To work with this, it kind of opens your eyes to see, I’m not the only one that’s important.”

The T-shirts are color-coded and will make it easier for guests of the event to identify the dif-ferent types of volunteers, Peters said.

The goal of the event is to serve between 100 and 200 individuals, and some Project Homeless Connect events get up to 500 people, Peters said.

“No one will be turned away,” she said.

Any student who could benefit from the services is also welcome to attend as a guest, she said.

Guests will be greeted in the church parking lot by the Salvation Army and then by a host inside the church. Everything is free and guests will have the opportunity for confiden-tiality, Peters said.

Several services will be offered, from show-ers, personal care items, diapers, birth certif i-cates, IDs, transporta-tion, housing and more. Everyone can leave with a hot meal and a hat, boots and a coat.

“This is the pilot year, so hopefully the event will take off and continue,” Peters said.

Project Homeless Connect is still welcoming volunteers, if interested, email volunteerphcwc@gmail.com.

the farmer’s market, said Faith Yingling, director of Wellness.

“[The farmer’s market] encourages healthy eating so it goes hand in hand,” Yingling said. “It makes perfect sense to have healthy eating options associated with the annual health fair.”

Yingling thinks the fair is a good service for the city.

“I certainly think it’s a great collaboration not only with the University but with the Bowling Green community as a whole,” she said.

Twin Oaks Hydroponics was present at the farmer’s market selling lettuce and cabbage.

Owner Dan Coppus said it was their first year at the farmer’s market and that they still have things to learn, such as balancing pricing.

“It’s a learning curve for us,” he said.

While it was not as busy as Coppus thought it would be, he was still glad to offer stu-dents fresh food.

In the Union, booths for different organizations were set up, offering students infor-mation on healthy eating and exercise.

Wellness Technician Nancy Hollister, with the Wood County Hospital, gave stu-dents information on how to relieve stress as well as blood pressure tests.

Hollister felt that while giv-ing students information on health is important, it is up to them to put it into action.

“I think they’re responsible for their own health and they need to be proactive about it,” she said.

The American Heart Association also had a booth at the health fair. Information on healthy food and a raffle for a cook book were available to students.

Healthwalk Director Lori

Mika said heart health should be an important issue for everyone.

Mika said people should stay active and eat healthy to have a healthy heart.

University Dining Services was also present to give stu-dents information on the nutritional information of food options on campus.

Daria Blachowski-Dreyer, associate director of Operations and Wellness said she likes to see the amount of students that come to the fair.

“Usually you get a nice, diverse group of people,” she said.

Some students came to take advantage of the health resources at the fair.

Sophomore Josh Cooley said he likes to take advantage of all the information at the fair.

“It’s good to learn about how fit you are and how to maintain a healthy diet,” he said.

Dave’s Cosmic Subs, a downtown sandwich restaurant, will be closing in 19 days due to lack of income in the past year.

“We have very dedicated customers and have never heard any complaints from them, but we just don’t have enough to stay in business anymore,” said Tom Mather, one of the owners.

The business started to see a decline in the past couple of months because of unknown reasons, Mather said.

The Falcons went on the road twice this weekend to take on Marshall and Northern Kentucky.

This past Friday, the Falcons headed to Huntington, W.V., to play against Marshall. The game went into double overtime ending in a 1-1 tie.

An hour passed in the game and neither BG nor Marshall had scored. After a penalty was called against Marshall, Danny Baraldi came off the bench and scored his first goal of the season with a penalty kick putting BG up 1-0.

It started to look like BG was going to take the win until Marshall scored its first and only goal of the game with two minutes left.

Both teams were tied in shots having 12 attempts, and Marshall led BG in corner kicks 6-5 and in saves 7-4.

BG senior Anthony Grant led all players from both teams with five total shots and four shots on the goal.

“We played really well. I was really proud of the team,” head coach

Let’s rewind two weeks ago when Akron gave The University of Michigan a scare in the Big House losing by one touch-down. In my mind I thought, “is Michigan really this bad?” It’s Akron, the same team that won one game all of last year. This can’t be right. After that brief moment of talking to myself I immediately went back to wor-rying about the route BG was taking at Memorial Stadium by Indiana. To say the least, I was instantly worried what would happen at the Doyt.

Fast forward back to Saturday afternoon at the Doyt as I sat down in my seat in the press

box and became nervous. I have been hearing all week about this Akron quarterback Kyle Pohl and how he had such a strong arm but just did not have the weapons to help him like he needed.

On Akron’s first drive of the game everyone in the Doyt wit-nessed that arm that I heard so much about. The Akron play call was for Pohl to take a shot deep to receiver L.T. Smith. He was matched up against BG corner Aaron Foster and he executed his route so well that Foster was left at the 45-yard line with no play on the ball. Pohl stepped back and threw a pass right into Smith’s hands at the 20-yard line as Smith cruised into the end zone giv-ing Akron the early lead.

If that did not scare the Falcon fans, then the first 25 minutes

should have as the Falcon offense looked out of rhythm. The offen-sive line was struggling to open holes for the running backs and Johnson was running for his life in the pocket.

It looked like it would be a bad afternoon for the Falcons until the defense earned a stop on Akron late in the second quar-ter and the offense then scored a late touchdown. Although Joplin dropped two early passes, Johnson went back to him. He bobbled the ball but had enough concentration to keep control of it and evade the Akron safety to get in the end zone.

In the second half we saw the Falcon team that handily beat Tulsa and Kent. The defense was locked in for all 30 minutes of that second half and the offense was moving the ball at will.

The offensive line looked like

a totally different group as they opened up holes for the run-ning backs. Greene was able to break multiple long runs as he finished with 142 yards rushing, one touchdown and one receiv-ing touchdown. The running game was able to get started, which gave Johnson more time in the pocket as he finished with 229 yards and two touchdowns.

The highlight of the day came as the Falcons were running a screen to Greene but the defen-sive line got in Johnson’s face too fast and forced him to scramble to his left. While running to his left and falling backwards, he was able to get off a shovel pass to Green as he received it and made a few Akron players miss as he ran into the end zone for

Utilize office hours, leave good impressions on instructors

Among the several factors contributing to a student’s academic success, ‘office hours,’ in my view, are of significant importance. Despite their central role in the academic experi-ence of a student’s life, ‘office hours’ are more than often overlooked. They are seldom capital-ized upon as much as they should be.

Office hours present opportunities to students that are not available dur-ing normal class hours for various reasons.

One of the primary advantages of meeting a professor during his or her office hours is to intro-duce oneself and create a positive rapport. There can be many reasons why students may not get a chance to introduce them-selves to the professor in the way they would like.

Some of the reasons may be large class sizes, inhibition to speak up in public settings, short class time, etc. Another advantage of office hours can be to discuss your

interests related to the subject other than the course work.

Visits during the office hours are mainly used to clear doubts or confusions related to the class topic.

Every student has dif-ferent learning and understanding needs. If there is a concept that was discussed in the class that requires more explaining to comprehend, office hours are the ideal venue.

The professor can dis-cuss the concept at your understanding level, as he/she is only interacting with you. This discussion enhances the learning experience, and furthers comprehension of difficult topics and the discussion stemming out of them.

To optimize this experi-ence, prepare well before meeting with your profes-sor. Going to meet with-out any prior studying or reading reflects poorly on you as well as makes it difficult for the professor to address your doubts. Ask specific questions or clarifications. Also, do not wait for a long time to meet with the professor after a topic is discussed in class.

Try to meet with the professor as early as pos-sible once you have a

doubt or confusion about that topic. The idea is to get directed help when and where it is required.

Another reason to visit a professor in his or her office hours is to discuss your performance in the class. There are two eval-uations that a student has access to. The first is self-evaluation of one’s prog-ress in the class.

There is a chance that self-evaluation can be biased or inaccurate. Therefore, a student should visit his or her pro-fessor’s office hours and discuss the same. This will give you an accurate understanding of the reli-ability of self-evaluation and your real time stand-ing in the class.

If the professor says that you are not up to the mark, the next step is to assess your approach towards the class in terms of number of hours of reading, consistency in homework, class partici-pation, clarity in under-standing of the require-ments for the class, etc. A general tendency to ask for ‘extra credit’ options is very limiting, both toward learning and gaining more marks. Make it a point to discuss with the professor where

you need to improve and then accordingly dedicate more time to that aspect of your approach.

Office hours are also ideal for discussing any special needs or requests that students may have for the class.

Lastly, office hours are designed to enhance the overall academic experience in a univer-sity. Students can discuss goals for the future, strat-egies to reach there and explore possibilities for internships and co-ops.

However, before dis-cussing the above, it is important to check with the professor if using office hours for such dis-cussion is fine with him or her.

All of these reasons show how office hours are important elements of academic experience and are designed to facili-tate student needs. It is a smart choice to take advantage of a read-ily available and valu-able resource. I strongly recommend using office hours to the students at the University.

Leadership in pirates help expand world exploration

As historians, we rarely deal with concrete facts, but instead must investi-gate centuries of objectified opinions and interpreted realities. The purpose of this investigation in lead-ership will be to focus on understanding the con-flicting perspectives histo-rians confront on a daily basis. While I have already raised the Alexander conundrum, this debate is rooted in unanswered questions in contrast to different opinions. For this exploration, I will propose the issue of perception with a very unique method and allow you to infer the ques-tion at hand.

The 16th century is often seen as the height of trade and exploration. Francis Drake is among the leaders of this growing movement. This explorer and merchant left an invaluable impact on

the world. He was a lead-ing figure in the slave trade which brought an illegal work force to the Americas. I will not condone slavery, but must recall the reality of its influence on the devel-opment of the Americas. In addition, Drake was among the world’s most accom-plished explorers. Drake fol-lowed his passions of trade and exploration in sailing around the southern tip of South America. He contin-ued to sail east en route to becoming only the second man to circumnavigate the globe, and the first to do it and return alive. Francis Drake is unquestionably an extremely important figure in the development of the Americas.

The 16th century is often seen as the golden age of piracy. El Draque is among the most distinguished scalawags on the high seas. A pirate leader’s success is often judged by his ability to ransack and instill chaos; El Draque was no excep-tion. He notoriously ran-sacked Spanish port towns in the Caribbean and was

remarkably successful in his attempts to do so. Not to be satisfied with ran-sacking the Spanish Main, this man took his fleet around the southern tip of South America. El Draque then proceeded to plunder Spanish cities and ships en route to becoming one of the most successful pirates of all time.

The 16th century is often seen as the founding period of the British Empire. Sir Francis Drake is among the greatest figures in British colonial history. Having been knighted in 1581 after he sailed around the world; he went on to make a great contribution as Vice-Admiral in the British defeat of the legendary Spanish Armada in 1588. Drake was a national hero. His unquestioned ability to keep the Spanish colonies at bay, allowed the English to establish a foothold in the race to colonize the Americas. The southern tip of South America, the Drake Passage, is named after the route he took in his glorious circumnavigation around

the world. This trip not only brought glory to himself, but was a source of pride in the British Empire.

Whatever you choose to call this man, it is the facts, not the perceptions in this man’s life that are agreed upon. In the United States, he will be found as Sir Francis Drake in your text-books, as these books are written from the British perspective. Britain’s dom-inance in the United States during its foundational period explains this. Had Spain been preeminent in America, Drake’s legacy likely would be one similar to those of Blackbeard or Henry Morgan. This prin-ciple, point of reference, has the greatest impor-tance in going forward as we consider the next topic, one of immense controver-sy. In the next examination in leadership, I will make an unmakeable argument; I will write an encomium of Hitler.

Vegetarian to vegan easy

greg burlesonColumnist

I decided to become vegan about a week ago.

I never expected so many intense reactions to a person-al diet change, but suddenly all of my friends and family became “experts” on protein.

Being a vegan means that I do not consume any ani-mal products—so no meat or dairy. This diet choice is completely about non-violence, yet people react like I’m doing something horrible or crazy.

A lot of people had very strong responses when I told them I was going to transition from vegetarian to vegan.

The reaction I got the most is “but how do you live without bacon?” Like, calm down, it’s a strip of pig fat, not oxygen.

Most people were just curious, some thought I was crazy, others were actually angry. That confused me the most. It’s not like I told them that they have to stop eating dairy. I already cut out meat, so this was just one more step.

I became a vegetarian in September of 2012, knowing that I would one day also stop eating eggs and dairy. Being a vegetarian, for me, was more of a transition period until I was ready to go completely cruelty-free.

The day I decided I was ready was when I visited the Sanctuary and Safe Haven for Animals Farm in Manchester, Michigan for the third time. I looked into the eyes of these cows and I knew that I never

wanted to do anything to hurt them ever again. They were so innocent and trusting.

It was also a lot easier to make the transition than I thought it would be. I assumed it was going to be much more expensive and that my eating out options would be severely limited.

But I’m spending the same amount of money at the gro-cery store as I did pre-vegan days and there are still plenty of places I can eat. Chipotle, Pita Pit and Subway are just some restaurants with vegan options, but there are many more in the Bowling Green area. Lola’s even has some dairy-free frozen yogurt options.

It’s easy for me to give up these foods because of my reason for going vegan. It’s worth not eating meat or dairy because I know that no animal needs to die for me to eat.

It’s like when I tell people that it’s estimated around 30,000 dogs are killed every day in China for their meat and fur. That amounts to more than 10 million per year. People get upset and disgusted.

Well, that’s how I feel about all animals. I love cats and dogs, but I love cows, chickens, pigs and goats just as much. That disgust you feel when you think about a dog being murdered and eaten is how I feel when I think about factory farms.

That is why I chose to be vegan. Not to make you feel uncomfortable, but for me to help as many animals as I can.

hoping about two to three stu-dents will benefit from it for each graduation ceremony.

The award is open to any-one to apply— master’s and doctorate students— but will be awarded based on financial need.

To apply, students can fill out the application through OrgSync. They must write an essay explaining why they need help affording regalia and why attending the com-mencement ceremony is important to them.

Applications are due Friday and the awards will be announced toward the end of the following week, Schaffer said.

Schaffer is part of the com-mittee who will select the award recipients and said she thinks “the ceremony is an important part of the tran-sition from graduate school to professional life or to this graduate school to another.”

“It promotes a sense of com-munity and belongingness. It’s kind of a send off, for many students it’s an important event in their lives,” she said.

Students may not be able to afford regalia because of the time the expense comes at, Schaffer said. For example, during the period they can pur-chase regalia, they may also be

moving, traveling and paying the graduation fee, she said.

“Usually by that point every-one has stretched their budget as far as they can stretch it,” Schaffer said.

Students also may need to purchase regalia for their future careers. For example, if they are going into higher education, they will need to wear it three or four times a year for the ceremonies at the University they work for.

They can purchase regalia as alumni, but there’s no dis-count as there is for students, Oler said.

“I encourage them to go out and watch one of the commencement ceremonies online if they’re having sec-ond thoughts about cost,” Oler said. “I think they need to see the grandeur of it, that every-one is dressed the same and it looks really cool.”

So far one person has purchased regalia for the December ceremony, but there’s still time for the other 36 students to rent or purchase theirs.

“It’s part of the package to be able to wear that gown and not walking doesn’t take away from your degree or what you’ve achieved, but walking is kind of the cherry on top of your six-year ice cream sun-dae,” Oler said. Walking in the commence-ment ceremony is important to Early and will symbolize her education coming full circle.

“Up until that point it’s all been academic— you get to blend that academic and per-sonal,” she said. “You’re a whole person, not just a student.”

Early got help from her fam-ily, but other students may not be able to, or may not discover the cost in time.

Faculty senate smooths out conflict in charter

Amendment addressed redundancy with Collective Bargaining AgreementBy Eric LagattaCampus Editor

The Faculty Senate approved Academic Charter amend-ments that were conflicting or redundant with the Collective Bargaining Agreement dur-ing its Tuesday meeting.

This past May, the University Board of Trustees ratified the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Faculty Association and the University.

The bargaining agreement addressed wages, benefits and other terms and condi-tions of employment. The Academic Charter remains to address issues not covered in the agreement.

The changes come after the Senate Executive Committee constituted an ad hoc committee of seven to review the charter and propose amendments to it.

“We were finding out where the different elements go in our governmental process,” said Sheri Wells-Jensen, asso-ciate professor in the English Department, Faculty Senate Chair and one of the commit-tee members. “That’s a com-plicated process.”

Concerning instances

in which the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Academic Charter con-flict, the bargaining agree-ment will “prevail,” accord-ing to a narrative provided by the committee members. This also means that redun-dant, outdated and mislead-ing material must also be removed from the charter.

“It was sometimes tedious work but very heartwarming,” said Lawrence Coates, a profes-sor in the English Department and a representative from the Faculty Association who reviewed the charter.

Also during the meeting, University President Mary Ellen Mazey reiterated the “unsustainable” funding model that she addressed dur-ing her State of The University Address on Sept. 17.

The University’s portion of the State Share of Instruction, the formula used to distribute state money to Ohio’s public colleges and universities, is decreasing every year. This year it is $60 million of the budget, while the University also has the third highest tuition in the state for public universities, Mazey said.

Because of the decrease in SSI funding, Mazey is looking for alternate ways to increase

funding without raising tuition.“I’m an optimist, I’d like to

say it’s going to come back, but it’s not going to come back,” she said.

With two meetings left this semester, and already three items approved by the senate in its first two meetings, Wells-Jensen is positive about the progress of the Faculty Senate.

“I think we’re settling in,” Wells-Jensen said. “We’re in a good position to remember what our focus is.”

A number of issues are coming up for Faculty Senate, Wells-Jensen said. This includes a review of the Academic Honesty Policy, particularly the section about plagiarism. Also in the future will be a review of cli-mate initiatives, particularly the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, a pledge to reduce emissions and achieve climate-neutrality in the com-ing years that Mazey signed this past November.

Concerning these issues, the Faculty Senate must eval-uate “where we stand” and “where we want to go,” Wells-Jensen said.

“We have a lot of useful and interesting work ahead of us,” she said.

the environment and people who don’t smoke since the “smoke” that people are breathing out is actually water vapor. Because of this water vapor, e-cigarettes are allowed in campus buildings.

“We’re saying it’s not prohibited for two rea-sons,” Ginsburg said. “One, it doesn’t produce second-ha nd smoke. Two, it does not create a heating element or f lame that would catch things on fire.”

While the e-cigarettes may be safer for non-smokers, they might not actually be safer for smokers.

“There have been … research studies that have taken a look at e-cigarettes and the variability across the percentage of nicotine and it may say one thing but it may have another,” Yingling said.

The clean air policy w i l l be re-exa mined next fall to determine if any changes regarding e-cigarettes will need to be made.

A problem Yingling sees with e-cigarettes is that there are not many restrictions for minors.

“We’ve got some prob-lems here, especially if we

are not regulating this to people under the age of 18,” Yingling said.

Since there is not much of a restriction, younger people have better access to the e-cigarettes.

“W hat we’re seeing … a mong middle a nd high school students, people a re just pick-ing it up because it ’s more accessible and it’s cool,” she said.

E-cigarettes have been seen as a way to quit smoking but Yingling believes that students will be more inclined to actually start smoking.

“What the problem is, is that [middle and high school students] will go from e-cigarettes to real cigarettes,” she said.

Yingling believes e-cig-arettes will be a gateway to real cigarettes not only for minors, but for people who have quit smoking as well.

“If somebody has quit smoking, they may be inclined to take back up the e-cigarette,” she said.

There isn’t a lot of research that has been done on e-cigarettes but some of the research that has been done has conflict-ing results, Yingling said.

“A lot of people say that they use electronic ciga-rettes to quit smoking,” Yingling said.

Junior Angelina Baker first started smoking because she was around it

a lot as a child. She hasn’t tried e-cigarettes “because if I wanted to stop [smok-ing] I would stop.”

“Smoking is a psycho-logica l stress rel iever which is why I do it,” she said.

A survey done by the department of social sci-ences and health policy at Wake Forest School of Medicine, though, found different results in the college age group.

“What they found was a lt houg h e-ciga rette usage was more com-mon among convention-al cigarette smokers … it wasn’t exclusive to [col-lege students],” Yingling said. “ So e-cigarette use [by col lege students] was not associated with the intentions to quit smoking.”

As for whether e-cig-arettes are safer than regular cigarettes or not, more studies need to be done in the future.

“There’s more ques-tions than answers,” Yingling said.

“If somebody has quit smoking, they may be inclined to take back up the

e-cigarette.”Faith Yingling |

tight ends standout in week 4 of nfl season, boosting stats

Peterson goes back to MVP form while Brees outplays Manning

Eric Nichols said. “We cre-ated many chances and defended really well.”

BG then headed to Highland Heights, Ky., to go face Northern Kentucky on Sunday.

BG tied with Northern Kentucky. in another dou-ble overtime game 0-0.

BG dominated the pos-session most of the game and out shot Nort hern Kentucky 8-3 in the f irst

45 minutes of the f irst ha l f . BG G oa l keeper M ichael West made three saves.

BG controlled most of the game not allowing Northern Kentucky many shots in the first half nor the second half.

BG out shot Northern Kentucky 17-13 and in corner kicks 11-1, while Northern Kentucky had more saves 5-3.

“We created a lot of chances but there is something missing to our offense,” Nichols said.

“I was even more pleased with today’s game more than the game against Marshall,” Nichols said. “We were really dominant this game.”

“We were really com-prehensive this game we didn’t have any play-er who played poorly,” Nichols said.

“We believe in our abil-ity to score. We have been working on finishing the chances we are creating,” defender Vlad Lekarev said. “Defensively we have been great we just need to tighten things up.”

After ending the last two games in ties, BG is now 1-4-4 overall this season.

BG is headed to Buffalo,

Ny., to end its five road games then head home for its next three games. BG will take on Buffalo Friday Oct. 4 at 7 p.m.

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron contin-ued to stand out this season in a thrilling victory vs. the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cameron caught 10 passes for 91 yards and one score, giving him five on the year. The Browns take on the Buffalo Bills at home this Thursday night. Both teams come into the game at 2-2. San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates had a season high in catches with 10 and yards with 136. Gates also added his second touchdown of the season to defeat the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday. Gates has now had a touch-down in each of the past two weeks. Atlanta Falcons tight end and 13-time Pro Bowler Tony Gonzalez had 12 catches for 149 yards, and two touchdowns vs. the New England Patriots. Gonzalez and the 1-3 Falcons were

defeated 30-23 in tough Sunday night football loss. All of the Falcons losses this season have been by seven points or less. The Falcons look to get back on target tak-ing on the 2-2 New York Jets at home this weekend.

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints won the bat-tle against the previously undefeated Miami Dolphins. Brees threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns. Two touchdowns came to tight end Jimmy Graham who still leads all tight ends in touchdowns with six. The 4-0 Saints take on the 3-1 Chicago Bears this upcoming week. The Bears were defeat-ed this week by the Detroit Lions who scored a season high 40 points. Reggie Bush, who sat out week 3 nursing a knee injury rushed for a season high 139 yards includ-ing a 37-yard touchdown run. On the touchdown run Bush looked like for-mer Lions great, and Hall of

Famer Barry Sanders where he avoided, juked, and hur-dled Bears defenders. Peyton Manning and the unde-feated Denver Broncos con-tinued their high-powered offence scoring 52 points vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. Manning threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns in the 32-point victory. Manning now has 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions on the season. He leads the NFL in passes completed, touch-downs, passer rating, pass completion percentage, and passing yards.

Last years MVP Adrian Peterson had a strong week playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in London, rushing for 140 yards including two scores. Peterson’s outburst gave the Minnesota Vikings their first win of the season. Peterson is first in the league in rush-ing touchdowns with five, and second in rushing yards with 421, right behind Eagles LeSean McCoy with 468.

he is now 13.Hansen said the effort

to recycle shoes from the University, as well as other places, lets him know he’s doing a good job.

“It tells me I’m getting my word out,” he said. “It’s good to recycle and others want to take part in it.”

So far this year, Hansen said he has recycled roughly 4,000 pairs of jeans and 2,000 pairs of shoes.

The University has been working with EcoErek for the past three years and Hennessy said it’s impressive to see someone so young accomplish such a task.

“Nothing goes to waste,” he said. “It’s a great way to keep unwanted shoes out of a landfill and recycle them into useful products.”

Amy Foust, an academic adviser for Advising Services, came up with the initial idea

for the recycling program in the committee, which coordi-nates programming around the common reading each fall semester.

“Anytime we can help the environment or people in general, we’re glad to do it,” Foust said. “I hope people take advantage of the opportunity and make a large difference.”

Hennessy sees potential for a large collection because stu-dents will be able to go home for Fall Break and bring back shoes to donate.

Some students think the cause alone is good enough to get people motivated.

Junior Sarah Kochert read the book and thinks because TOMS shoes is a popular movement, which donates shoes for every pair bought, that it will be easy for students to support the shoe recycling.

“It makes no sense in manufacturing more rub-ber for the sole purpose of playgrounds when there is so much [unused rubber] already,” Kochert said.

the 30-yard touchdown. It seems the Falcons con-stantly come up with a highlight reel play that we can go back and think, wow, what a play.

This combination of Johnson and Greene has really started to come together in the past weeks as each of them have had their week on the MAC east offensive player of the week list. Johnson’s ability to keep the play alive for his receivers and Greene’s ability to make people miss

and even his ability to take hits makes this offense very versatile going into the heart of the schedule.

The defense is beginning to resemble the defense from last year that domi-nated the MAC. We all know this defense can stop the run but in the second half they showed that they can lock in and stop the pass as well.

With that combina-tion of a dangerous and versatile offense and a dominating defense, the Falcons should continue to sit atop the MAC East standings fighting for a trip to Detroit. They still

have to face MAC contend-ers Toledo and Ohio, as well as a game at Mississippi State. If the Falcons keep rolling along I do not see why they would finish the season with more than 2 or three losses. If that hap-pens, a potential matchup against defending MAC champion Northern Illnois will be waiting in Detroit.

For now fans can be happy that the Falcons are 4-1. A homecoming match-up against Massachusetts on Saturday should allow them to build their confi-dence up before they trav-el to Mississippi State in two weeks.
