Band replaced by quintet for

commencementglimpse o f t h e

By Alex AlusheffManaging Editor

For the first time in more than 50 years, the woodwind sym-phony will not play during the College of musical Arts’ com-

mencement ceremony.Administrators say the poor placement of

the 45-member band in the stroh Center the past two years and the reallocation of funds are the reasons to replace it with a graduate student quintet.

Because the band is placed in The Anderson Club of the stroh and not next to the stage, as it had been in Anderson Arena, the commence-ment committee opted to have the quintet play since it takes up considerably less space, said provost Rodney Rogers.

“it was crowded [where the band plays in the stroh] and it was hard to get guests in and out of their seating,”

Sustainability to be incorporated into curriculum

By Stevon DueyReporter

The presidents’ Climate Commitment committee is pro-posing integrating sustainability and climate neutrality themes into the University’s core curriculum.

The committee, which was established in 2012, is on the back end of its two-year deadline to develop an institutional action plan for becoming climate neutral.

Among the initiatives proposed by the committee, inte-grating themes that advocate for climate neutrality would impact all students by making it a part of the Bg perspective.

since the action plan is in the early stages, the committee can’t specify if this will add courses to the Bg perspective.

university to graduate roughly 2,200 students

The University will give a total of 2,260 diplomas during commencement on Friday and Saturday.

This will include 393 degrees from the Graduate College, including 315 master’s degrees and 22 doctoral degrees, according to a University press release. Among the 1,867 undergraduate candidates, 121 will receive asso-ciate degrees and 551 will graduate with honors.

The number of graduates this year is expected to be 2,260 compared to last year’s 1,986 graduates. A more complete number of graduates is listed below.

Senior Communications Director David Kielmeyer said the University is extremely pleased with the increase in numbers.

“This is what it’s all about,” he said. “We are pleased to welcome 2,260 graduates into the alumni association.”

During each commencement, there will be different influential figures speaking.

Entrepreneur Laurence Benz, who is the founder and President/CEO of PT Development LLC will be speaking, according to the press release.

Bonnie Blankinship, communications manger, said the University brings speakers because they give perspective to the students.

“They usually have a lot life experience,” she said. “They can be good role models and have a lot of wisdom to share.”

Other speakers include Brenda hollis, a 1968 graduate who spent two years with the Peace Corps in West Africa and Jacien Steele, a senior lead tax partner in Deloitte’s Dusiness Tax Services Group.

“Fluffy” entertained a sold out venue at the Stroh Center, per-

and Rick Gutierrez also performed.

As part of an early campaign trip, Gov. Kasich touted his accomplishments in office such as balancing an $8 billion deficit, and also outlined his goals for a possible next term.Kasich wants to focus on funding more vocational schooling programs and creating more jobs locally.

After not meeting its membership quota since 1996, Phi Mu closed down its chapter.

Because of membership issues and fundraising problems, the national chapter prevented the fraternity from hosting recruitment events, leading to its closure.

The University administration cited a lack of state funding, low enrollment and an attempt to raise salaries as reasons for not renewing 30 non-tenure track faculty members. An additional 12 faculty who were on one-year contracts did not receive renewals either.

To celebrate the anniversary of its formation, Not in Our Town hosted a variety of events throughout the week including speakers, musicians and discussions.

Falcon Health Center to extend services, hours

Wood County Hospital’s ReadyCare service will move its location to the Falcon Health Center on May 12.

ReadyCare is an after-hours service offered to patients with minor emergen-cies when their doctors’ office is closed.

It is currently located on Main Street, but will move to The Falcon Health

Center’s Wooster Street location next week.

The change will extend the health center’s hours on Monday-Friday to 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., while adding Saturday and Sunday hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The health center is currently not open on the weekend.

Student evaluations revealed a need for weekend and later hours, said

Deb Busdeker, Falcon Health Center director.

“Some of the students were having to utilize resources in that time frame at other places,” Busdeker said.

This is the first time services at the health center will be offered to area residents, as prior to that, the services at the Falcon Health Center have been restricted to those affiliated with the University.

“It should not have any effect on the students,” Busdeker said. “I don’t think anyone will notice that there’s anything different.”

This is something Jodi Webb, dean of students, also considered when she first heard of the initiative. She said she has no concerns that students will not be able to receive the services they need.

“I feel confident that the Falcon Health Center will continue to look at what their staffing needs are to serve both populations,” Webb said. “I would hope that bringing those two popula-tions together will really be transparent to our students.”

This summer, the after-hour services will be limited, but may expand next fall as officials see what the needs are.

“It’s nice that we’re starting in May,” Busdeker said. “You get a chance to finesse the services … it’s kind of a practice run.”

Happy Badger to close on May 18

Rogers said. Other administrators see

the quintet as the best fit for all ceremonies.

“They probably won’t be playing [commencement] for the foreseeable future,” said Jeffrey Showell, dean of the CMA, who helped make the decision to replace the band.

Typically, the commence-ment band played when CMA students graduated, while the Tower Brass Quintet, a professional group of alumni and faculty played the other

five commencement ceremo-nies [two in the spring, one in the summer and one in December].

The CMA’s commencement ceremony is Friday at 7 p.m. along with Graduate College, Health and Human Services, Technology, Architecture and Applied Engineering.

Showell said not only is it cheaper to have a quintet, but that students in the symphony would have to stay at school lon-ger and keep paying for food and rent while graduate stu-dents would be staying longer anyway for their assistantships.

However, to band director Bruce Moss and other mem-

bers of the symphony, playing a commencement ceremony is a “time-honored tradition.”

“It’s the whole excitement of the event and what it means to students graduating for the band to be there and sup-port their peers,” Moss said. “The band needs to play these functions because this is what they’ll do [professionally] for audiences; it’s a learning expe-rience for everyone.”

As a graduating senior, band member Kevin Rahrig is sad to not have his peers play for him. “People look forward to it,” Rahrig said. “A lot of graduat-ing seniors have played in that band and want it there.”

The commencement band also plays for free; the only cost to the University comes from moving the band’s stands, Moss said.

The University gives CMA $4,500 a year to provide music for commencement, which has paid for the professional brass quintet and moving equipment for the band for all six ceremonies, Showell said.

Because the student quintet can move its own equipment and the professional quintet doesn’t have to be paid, the CMA doesn’t have to spend the money for commence-ment, Showell said.

This allows the $4,500 fund

to help pay for two of the graduate assistantships in the brass quintet, Showell said.

The assistantships are also paid with private endowments and departmental funding, he said, noting they pay for tuition and provide a semester stipend of roughly $5,500.

While the band played last year’s commencement cer-emony, it was originally not supposed to.

“No one thought to tell us last year and we found out a month before commence-ment,” Moss said.

Because of the communi-cation breakdown, Deanna Vatan Woodhouse, director of

the division of Student Affairs, said the professional quintet and band played, adding an extra $1,800 in costs.

“The last thing I wanted to do is say, ‘Thanks for practicing for half a year but we don’t need you,’” said Woodhouse, who coordinates commencement.

This year, Moss was notified in the summer that the band would not play the following spring.

Moss hopes the replace-ment isn’t permanent.

“I think if it goes beyond this one year, it will become a new tradition to not play [com-mencement] and that will be a shame,” he said.

Little kitchen space, limited options cited as reasonBy Kathryne Rubright

Reporter

After 14 years of opera-tion, the Happy Badger will be closing on May 18.

“We’ve outgrown our kitchen,” said co-owner Ben Cohen. “We can’t do the type of food that we want.”

According to a Happy Badger press release, Cohen, and his sister and co-owner Sarah Cohen, would prefer to focus on “fine dining, location specific pop-up dinners and weekend brunches.”

For now, the Happy Badger is open for brunch Monday through Friday and on Sunday. On Saturdays, the Cohens are serving brunch

at Black Kite Coffee in Toledo. They are not yet sure about finding a more permanent location.

“Being a small business owner is always risky,” said Barbara Ruland, director of Downtown B ow l i ng Gr e en . The restaurant business is especially tough to be in, Ruland said, although many people see it as an easier business.

Restaurant owners face the “up and down nature” of the business, Ruland said. They also face lower turnout when the weather is bad, like it was this past winter.

A FINAL MEETINGThe University Board of Trustees will host its final meeting of the school year on Friday. Check BGNews.com for coverage.

It’s officially time to graduate and my time at The BG News is over.

But throughout all of the classes I’ve taken and late nights I’ve had with old and new friends the past four years, The Pulse section of the news-paper will be what I remember the most.

The section allowed me to highlight a lot of the local music scene in Bowling Green, something that was important for me, even when I was young-er. I’m entirely grateful for that.

And I’ve found myself con-stantly thinking ‘Is this worth it?’ ‘It has to be worth it. Right?’

I had that same thought while covering the Of Mice & Men show last year in my McDonald’s uniform because I didn’t have any time to change after work. I had to have been the only guy in the Cla-Zel dressed in that attire but I didn’t care because I knew it was worth it.

I had that same thought while sprinting to my car after an in-person interview with the dudes from twenty | one | pilots at 11:30 p.m. in order to get back to the newsroom to beat our midnight deadline.

And I had that same thought while constantly comparing myself to people I knew going through college without hav-ing a part-time job or not being involved with any student group whatsoever. But I had to just accept my own situation I was dealt with, and I did.

All of it was worth it entirely because hard work pays off.

This isn’t me bragging about how the hard work I’ve accom-plished has landed me a job, because that’s not what my main concern was while work-ing for The BG News. It’s about putting hard work into some-thing that you’re truly passion-ate and care about. It’s about learning what it’s like to put a publication out. It’s about working with other people who share the same passion as you.

Even if the stress forced me to rest my forehead on the steer-ing wheel of my car and have a

While sports bars have their appeal, sophomore Emily Skibski acknowledges a need for eateries of a different sort.“I don’t really watch sports,” she said. “Not everybody likes that loud sports atmosphere.”An answer to these louder establishments may be coming in the form of “gastropubs,” a term that to many is unfamil-

A nd rew Jack son Ji had is a n e x t remel y i mpor t a nt ba nd to me.

They’re really the first band I got into after I got to college, and when I think about it, they’ve largely informed how my taste in music has developed since then.

They’re definitely an odd group. Initially part of Arizona’s now highly regarded folk-punk scene, they sang secular songs about fearing God’s wrath and how painful long-distance rela-tionships can be.

Like I said, they’re not for everyone.

With each passing album, however, the two-piece have strayed more and more from their acoustic roots. Each new album has increasingly featured Sean Bonnette hammering on an electric guitar rather than

an acoustic, and recent releases have found Ben Gallaty pluck-ing a bass guitar rather than an upright.

The band’s 2011 album “Knife Man” seemed at the time like the logical conclusion to this shift-ing aesthetic. A balanced mix of electric and acoustic.

AJJ’s new album “Christmas Island” is making me rethink that.

The first song I heard from the new album was “Children of God,” and I couldn’t remem-ber experiencing more intense mixed feelings about a song. Not between happiness and disap-pointment, but between being surprised and not being so.

The song featured a sound AJJ had hinted at on “Knife Man,” a sort of odd, pseudo-pychedel-ic sound that seemed distant. Paired with the surreal lyrics the band is known for, it seemed both new and old at the same

time.This general sound is pretty

consistent throughout, present in the songs “Kokopelli Face Tattoo” and “Linda Ronstadt.”

Then you hear “Do, Re and Me.”

That’s when AJJ began get-ting into uncharted territory. That song has an odd, retro feel to it; it’s like a demented pop song from the early 60s. It’s an interesting direction that I’m not quite sure works, but it may grow on me.

Lyrically, it almost seems as though Bonnette’s upped how weird his songwriting is. He reg-ularly pushes into territory that might still be incomprehensible after a dozen listens.

“Do, Re, and Me” opens with, “I walk into a room full of corpses/the room all smelled like flow-ers/there were Nikes on their

WAY To DIne

Three years ago, someone asked me if I ever thought of being summer editor of The BG News.

I was 19. I was shy and I didn’t think I was ready for that.

And then I did it and you could say that my life changed.

It wasn’t just that sum-mer that changed my life, but the very suggestion that I be the editor and all the work before and after that and the people at The BG News all along.

In my four years work-ing at the paper, I have seen many editors and staff mem-bers come and go— and I’ve always been the one who comes back year after year.

Next year, as students filter into 210 West Hall, I won’t be among them.

As I panic about not coming back to this place that means more to me than I could ever put into words, I also try to realize how lucky I am to have ever walked through the door in the first place.

The first time I walked in was in February 2010. Upon coming in and seeing the ratty old couch, the green walls and the volumes of old newspaper archives, I cried.

I was so excited, happy, and at home.

Ever since that day before I even started at The BG News, 210 West Hall has

been my home.I’ve come into the news-

room every day for the past four years. I’d sit down, fire up a computer and chat with staff members who also happen to be the best friends I’ve ever had.

This experience has changed me forever. To say that I’ve grown is an under-statement. To say that I’m a different person, a better person is even more of an understatement.

When I walked in the door that February day, I was quiet, shy and self-conscious.

On Friday, when I walk out the door, I will leave self-confident, outspoken and happier than I’ve ever been in my life.

There are often times when people don’t like newspapers, reporters or the content, but to them I say that I’ve never been more proud of anything in my life.

It may not seem like much to you, but this year,

the staff has worked harder than I’ve ever seen them work in four years.

They’ve pushed others and been pushed them-selves.

And I’m more proud of them than I ever could be.

Though you just see the final copy, I see the work that goes into that paper.

When I pick up the paper, I remember the laughter, the jokes, the hard work, the thought and sweat that went into making it.

I hope you’ll see that now too.

This experience wasn’t one of the best I’ve ever had because of me- it was because of all the people involved in The BG News.

This year, it was because of Alex Alusheff, Eric Lagatta, Abby Welsh, Lindsay Rodier, Geoff Burns, Steven Echard and so many more.

Next year, for every-one else on staff, it will be because of Cameron Teague Robinson.

To Cam: You’ll do great as Editor-in-Chief next year.

I know this because I see your passion for the work, your humor and your strength. You have the ability to be a great leader and I already see you doing it.

To everyone coming back next year: cherish next year, and don’t ever forget how these people and these green walls changed you.

THE BG NEWS SUBMISSION POLICY

When I began my freshman year here, I had all sorts of ideas about what college life would be like.

Society tells us that it’s a party, the “best four years of your life,” that time that needs to be cherished before reality sets in. But for me, the experience has been quite different from the stereotypi-cal notions that previously enveloped my mind.

I’ve reached the end of my junior year and, though I still have one year to go, I feel that I’ve acquired enough insight to discuss what I’ve learned from my three years as an undergrad, life lessons that were sometimes painful but ultimately essential for per-sonal growth.

For me, college hasn’t been so much a party as a series of necessary and sometimes harsh life lessons. I don’t mean this in a negative sense; I can honestly assert that this academic school year has taught me the most so far and, though it’s been exceptionally difficult, I’m happy that I’ve gotten the experience.

I learned a lot about who I am and who I want to be. In the past, for instance, I’d often get chastised simply for being my loud, opinion-ated self.

I still receive some criticism for this attribute, but that is part of who I am, something that I previously couldn’t admit to.

This is largely due to my commencement as an opinion columnist for the newspaper.

Ever since I began writ-ing for a larger audience, I’ve obtained the courage to be even more vocal about my views and have become more willing to let myself learn and grow from the criticism of others.

This is just one experience I’ve had this year for which I am unreservedly grateful.

Another valuable skill I’ve managed to hone this school year is the ability to maintain a balance of “picking my bat-tles” yet also of standing up for myself.

I learned this skill out of sheer necessity, but it wasn’t easy or particularly pleasant.

I’ve had some unfortunate encounters with people who have treated me less than respectfully, and I’ve learned to accept it got to the point where I had to address this problem.

After a number of bat-tles which I chose to let go, I finally learned that there

were some which had to be fought, and the feeling of standing up for myself and ultimately ending the disre-spect was amazing. I learned that, much of the time, some battles simply aren’t worth fighting, but there comes a point where it becomes necessary to stand up in an effort to maintain self-respect.

This is one of those skills that is handy in all stages of life.

Of all the things that I learned this semester, the idea that I must choose to be happy, even among adver-sity, is undoubtedly the most prominent.

I learned to focus on the good things in my life; I have great friends and teachers who love me for who I am. I have this opportunity to go to college and get an educa-tion, thus opening the doors to even more opportunities to which others may not have access.

I have a lot to be grateful for and, quite frankly, life is too short to let adversity get in the way of my happiness, personal growth and overall success.

These are just a few of the many great lessons that I’m taking away from this school year; self-acceptance, person-al strength and the mainte-nance of happiness.

And while I’m still in the process of learning, the les-sons taken from this experi-ence so far will no doubt last a lifetime.

what it means to be green. Made up of a diverse

group of University faculty, employees and students, the committee is planning to release a proposal for public comment by fall semester.

English department lec-turer Lynn Campbell said that science courses play an important role to teach stu-dents about human impact on the environment, but the humanities and social sci-ences can contribute as well.

“[Literature] provides a different experience for stu-dents. It provides insight into the historical impact in the natural world,” Campbell said.

Campbell said that it was time that the University became more serious about its efforts to become climate neutral.

“I don’t think we can ignore what’s happening anymore,” she said. “There’s too much evidence around us to ignore.”

Campbell’s colleagues agree.

“There are a lot of miscon-ceptions about the climate,” said Holly Myers, environ-mental science lecturer.

Myers said it is important that students are aware of the real problems humans impose on the environment and that when teaching them

instructors do not perpetuate misconceptions.

“Like the ozone layer caus-ing global warming,” Myers said. “That’s not accurate.”

By adding themes about sustainability into existing courses in the University’s general education require-ments, education about sus-tainability becomes more inclusive and effective.

Charlie Onasch, a geology professor who serves on the committee, isn’t advocating for students to have an envi-ronmental science require-ment.

“There’d be mass rebel-lion,” Onasch said. “We could reserve a course for sustain-

ability or carbon neutrality in any department … that would be more effective.”

Onasch believes that incor-porating themes in art, litera-ture and science courses will reach students in a way that makes them meaningful.

Students should be made aware of what sustainabil-ity and climate neutrality means as well as the prob-lems our society is facing, Onasch said.

Citing the overwhelm-ing skepticism about cli-mate change and human impact on the environment, Onasch said those claims are unfounded.

“There’s a lot of skepticism

about science and scien-tists, like we have an agen-da.” Onasch said. “But its like this quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger, ‘If you go to two doctors and they tell you one thing and you go to 98 others and they tell you the opposite, who are you going to believe?’”

The amount of scientific research and evidence tells the real story.

For some, it’s about time that society became aware about its impact on the envi-ronment and the classroom may be the best place to start.

“Educational institutions need to play the leading role.” Onasch said.

As the 2013-2014 school year comes to a close, many students will be traveling near and far to their homes or summer vacation spots.

Others will be right here in Bowling Green.

“We have 81 students signed up to stay on cam-pus this summer,” said Joshua Lawrie, assistant director in the Office of Residence Life.

Summer on-campus housing is available in Centennial Hall for stu-dents during the sessions in which they are enrolled in summer classes from May 19 through August 8.

Just as in the regular school year, there are double and single rooms obtainable to stay in.

“On-campus housing provides the opportu-nity for students to get

ahead in their academ-ics and not worry about paying various bil ls,” Lawrie said.

Besides on-campus housing in Centennial Hall, other housing proj-ects will be underway this summer at the University.

The University will be undergoing a demolition and reconstruction of greek units on fraternity and sorority rows.

While there is no set date for demolition, Steven Krakoff, vice pres-ident of Capital Planning and Design, said it should occur sometime in the late summer.

The new housing will consist of a four, 12 or 18-person occupancy

installed with small kitchen areas and larger rooms for meetings and other chapter business.

Krakoff is still waiting on some chapters final decisions, but there are assumed to be about 30 new chapter houses.

Un iver sit y ju n ior Zakiya Phillips, a mem-ber of A lpha Kappa Alpha sorority, is excited for the change.

“I am excited to see the new changes,” Phillips said. “Hopefully I am here to see the final product and be able to live with my sorority sisters.”

Krakoff said the new developments don’t just benefit Greek students.

“This’ll be a very excit-ing development, not just for sororities but for the whole University,” he said. “The new houses being along Wooster St. will enhance the appear-ance of the University.”

Badger will have a bar-beque for its last day open.

“I think it’s unfortunate [the Happy Badger is clos-ing], because they have really good food and it’s different than anything else Bowling Green offers,” said Bowling Green resi-dent Kasey Ellis.

Ellis visits the Happy Badger about once every other month, and likes that the menu is always changing. She said the food is always different, but always good.

Ellis also likes that the Happy Badger’s food is homemade and they try to use local food sources when possible.

According to the Happy Badger’s press release, they put “an emphasis on ethics over profit.”

Bowling Green resident Nate Ballinger said the Happy Badger’s brunch is unlike anything else avail-able in Bowling Green.

“It’s a bummer,” Ballinger said. “It’s good food.”

Happy Badger clos-ing “means we have one less interesting place to have brunch on Sunday,”

Ruland said. “It was kind of quirky. It

was unusual,” Ruland said. “The food was really good.”

Cohen said his favorite part of owning the Happy Badger has been the “com-munity aspect.” Over the years, employees and regu-lar customers have become his close friends, he said.

Though the Cohens’ future plans are not cer-tain, they look forward to growing “into something even more sustainable, more in line with our ide-als, and more delicious,” they stated in the press release.

Construction to continue during summer break

While University students will be relaxing at home during summer break, workers on campus will be busy with

several construction projects.In an email, University Architect

Though the leaders of student movement Call to Action say they have had a successful first year at the University, they are looking forward to continuing their efforts next year.

Call to Action is a collaborative student movement between the Black Student Union, the Latino Student Union, VISION, the World Student Association and the India Student Association.

The purpose of Call to Action is to bring attention to the University’s problems with diversity and cul-tural inclusion, said junior Juan Pimiento, president of the Latino Student Union.

“It is a student movement rep-resentative of different minority groups on campus that feels that the current climate of diversity and cultural competence on campus is insufficient,” Pimiento said.

This year, Call to Action accom-plished many of the immediate goals and changes that it set out to complete.

Sophomore Greg Harrison, incoming president of BSU, said one goal Call to Action had this year was to create a more culturally inclusive and accepting campus.

“We were able to create a new diversity training program for Opening Weekend Group Leaders and diversity programs for incom-ing freshmen to adjust to the new atmosphere,” he said.

The members of Call to Action are happy with the progress they

have made during their first year. “We were able to build the foun-

dation in terms of getting off the ground,” Pimiento said. “The most important thing is getting the attention of the administra-tors and starting the conversation with them.”

Junior Kevin Lewis, current president of BSU, said the collabo-ration with the administration is essential.

“We are going to continue work-ing with University officials to make sure [our goals] are realistic,” he said.

Next year Harrison hopes that they can continue to boost the University’s diversity and work on some of the more urgent issues fac-ing the school.

“Next year our goal is to focus on one or two urgent issues instead of trying to solve them all at once,” he said.

This year the group was more focused on getting everything organized and spreading the word about their initiative.

The biggest issue Call to Action will try to conquer next year is the creation of an ethnic student center that will include an ethnic library, an LGBT center and offices for the diversity groups on campus.

Call to Action will also enter phase two of promoting diversity and an inclusive environment at the University.

“It is a long process and changes will not happen overnight,” Lewis said. “We need a lot of support to gain the momentum we need to continue.”

“PURE ADULTERATED JOY” bY MORNING PARADE

Album | Grade: B

MEDIA reviews

By Tim WhitlingerPulse Critic

The best part of alterna-tive music is the hidden gems that you find when you least expect it.

The undiscovered dia-monds in the rough are some of music’s best offerings, and the band Morning Parade is no exception. Hailing from Essex, England, Morning

Parade is an alternative art-ist on the rise. This spring marks the release of their second studio album “Pure Adulterated Joy.”

After one play though, listeners can tell that Morning Parade does a fantastic job with their instrumentation. Lead singer Steve Sparrow’s vocals are unique and some of the best this year.

Guitar is front and center in most tracks, and that’s fantastic.

Bands such as Vampire Weekend, AWOLNATION, Capital Cities and Two Door Cinema Club have made the guitar take a back seat. It’s refreshing to hear guitar prominent in the mix. The bass has

emphasized the importance of both good food and good drinks, but said the combina-tion is what matters.

“It’s this idea of developing a synergy between the drink and the eats,” Mufleh said.

Gastropubs, according to Mufleh, are a phenomenon that’s been around for a while, but has only recently made its way into the area.

“It’s something that has really been a mainstay in other parts of the country,” Mufleh said.

Higher-end restaurants and bars have been gaining traction in the U.S. lately.

Mufleh said his time liv-ing in other cities, and observing and participating in gastropub scenes in other cities, helped inspire The Melt Shoppe.

“Part of my ideas come from my experience in Chicago on the north side,” Mufleh said. “[And] in Austin, which has an amaz-ing scene for culinary, artis-tic, musical— just amazing, amazing outlets for that.”

A gastropub can have any number of angles or draws. Social., a gastropub in Perrysburg, specializes in a clean modern style. While The Melt Shoppe sports a Prohibition-style feel to attract customers, Dave Garlock, floor manager for Social., said they strive for a more baseline gastropub feel.

“The theme itself is honestly just ‘gastropub’ in itself,” Garlock said. “Gastropub by definition is a pub that specializes in high quality food, and I think we definitely execute that por-tion of it.”

Above all, Garlock said

Social. strives to serve high quality food, regardless of what culture it originated from.

“We have Asian influence, Mexican, Americana,” he said. “It really just depends on what we think is good.”

Junior Conor Mutter said he supports restaurants that bring new experiences to downtown.

“[It] brings more business to the community, so I don’t see any negative,” he said.

While Mufleh said he was excited about using the “gastro-pub” branding, he still had one thing in mind: the experience.

“I’m a big fan of good food [and] reasonable prices aligned with nice spirits,” Mufleh said. “I’ve always been interested in enjoying an environment that is relaxing, allows you to enjoy conversation with your friends or family where you’re not bombard-ed by really loud music.”

Chris Kingston hires new men’s basketball coach and football coach add to excitement leading into next year.

By Tara JonesAssistant Sports Editor

Since Chris Kingston was hired on June 9 of last year, he has made two major hires.

In Kingston’s first year as director of Athletics at the University, he hired Dino Babers as the new football head coach and Chris Jans as men’s bas-ketball head coach.

“Both of those hires have created a lot of buzz and have created a lot of inter-est in BGSU,” said Assitant Athletic Director of Athletic Communications Jason Knavel.

Kingston came in right away with a lot of ideas for the direction of the ath-letic department. Not only did Kingston bring those ideas, but he also found ways to implement a lot of those ideas regardless of the University’s financial bottom line, Knavel said.

“Chris is somebody who has the ideas but also has ways to get those accom-plished as well,” Knavel said.

Craig Sandlin, assis-

tant athletic direc-tor for Marketing and Promotions, mentioned times when Kingston dressed up for Halloween, took shots on goal against the University head coach-es or jumped into the stands with the Falcon Fanatics.

“That attitude is going to rub off on people,” Sandlin said.

Knavel said he antici-pates a lot of interest in Babers and Jans in their first years as head coaches.

He said the hire of Babers as the new head football coach paired with the team coming off of a Mid-American Conference championship has created a potential for another great year.

Babers was named head coach Dec. 18 of last year and since then he has coined the term “Falcon Fast” for his team.

“That [‘Falcon Fast’] energy and that enthusi-asm is who he is and what he is,” Knavel said.

Jans was announced as the men’s head basketball coach on March 25 of this

year. The addition of Jans as

the head coach for the men’s basketball team has “breathed new life” into the program, Knavel said.

Anytime there is a major head coaching change like the University has had this year, marketing seeks out to highlights those.

“When you have an excited fan base, you have to use that,” Sandlin said. “We’ll absolutely be utilizing those changes as a tool to get people engaged.”

Sandlin said the nature of the new coaches will also help engage fans. He said Babers’ high energy offense will bring fans in and Jans is focusing on getting involved in the community to drum up support.

“There’s nothing more you can ask for than a coach who wants to be involved, and both of these guys seem to want to do that,” Sandlin said.

Knavel said the hype may be substantial around these two new head coach-es, but it’s the result that

matters in the end.“If you don’t win games,

that’s a tough obstacle to overcome if you [want to] get people into the stands,” he said. “Our job is to find ways to get people in the seats regardless of how the teams are doing, but it certainly makes it easier when they are winning games.”

Senior Jordan Dotson believes the addition of these new coaches will have an impact on stu-dent turnout because big names attract more peo-ple. He said Babers and Jans will also have an impact on the players.

“I feel like this new coaching staff will defi-nitely provide an extra push for young students in athletics. They have a lot to accomplish and a lot to learn,” he said.

Kingston has hired two coaches who have are bringing a lot of excite-ment to each team.

“It’s an exciting time to a BGSU fan,” Kingston said. “I think it’s a great time to jump on board and be a BGSU fan.”

Track team prepares for MAC championshipCompetition hosted at Ohio University

By Jamar DunsonReporter

After a win against rival The University of Toledo, the track and field team will com-pete for the Mid-American Conference championship.

Going into the meet, the Falcons find themselves in a good position, with 13 auto-matic qualifying marks. They also been ranked as high as 13 in the region according to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

The Falcons have had good moments this outdoor sea-son, from athletes such as junior Brooke Pleger remain-ing unbeaten throughout the regular season and senior Jeanette Pettigrew’s perfor-mance in the opening meet at the Raleigh Relays.

Head coach Lou Snelling hopes to see more moments from Pettigrew at the champi-onship meet.

“She’s a fifth year senior and you want to see good things happen for her,” Snelling said. “I think she’ll do well in the meet and will finish on a high note.”

The performances of the young players and veterans have been more in sync this season also. Players such as Andrea Alt, Brianna Johnson, Natalie Sommerville and Kori Reiser have rose to the task in

different events throughout the season and have made an impact heading into the finals.

Snelling noted the improve-ments and said the overall performance of the team is steadily improving.

“It’s pretty positive, espe-cially when you compare it to our previous two years,” Snelling said. “It’s clear that we made improvements and we’ll see that in the meet by moving up the ranks and get-ting closer to that balance, closer than we were the past two years.”

Snelling also said he feels that the throwers, particularly Pleger and Reiser, will do well in the championship meet. He feels that Pleger will win the individual championship, while he expects to see Reiser gain some experience now to prepare for next year’s cham-pionship.

“Brooke really has some good competition in the meet but I see her hopefully winning the individual MAC throwing championship,” Snelling said. “[Reiser] has done very well so far this season so I’m sure she’ll gain some experience out there so she’ll be ready to take the championship next year.”

The MAC championship meet will take place May 15 in Athens, Ohio hosted by Ohio University.

just the right amount of punch, and subtle hints of keyboards and synths keep things interesting and exciting.

As a whole, the album’s tone is right in the middle of the emotional spec-trum. It won’t make you feel sad like “Trouble Will Find Me” by The National, but it’s not a feel good pop album like “Oh, What a Life” by American Authors.

Songs like “Shake the Cage,” “Autoinjector” and “Sharing Cigarettes” are clear favorites, but the lead single “Alienation” will most likely be the stand out track.

“Throw me a landline, this is more like a land mine” are memorable lyr-ics that fit the upbeat but realistic vibe that “Pure Adulterated Joy” oozes.

While the album is great, it isn’t perfect. I would have liked some stronger melodies to accompany the great instrumentation

and tone Morning Parade has built up. While this may be a minor complaint, it leaves me wanting more.

Fans of alternative should definitely add this album to their collection, and even if you aren’t a huge alternative fan you should still give this album a listen. I can see Morning Parade touring with bands such as Coldplay, Imagine Dragons and Civil Twilight. If you are looking for a quality band that has a fresh sound, Morning Parade is a great choice.

mini freakout several times after work. Even if the stress forced me to look at the sky and try to decide if this was the right career path to take.

I know that it definitely was and I’m so glad that I never gave up on The BG News. I’m so proud of

everyone who didn’t quit and worked through all of the stress.

As I look back on my time at the University, I’m not sure what I would’ve done with my time as a college student if it weren’t spent on The BG News. Although my grades would probably be better, there is no way I would trade that from all of the things I have

learned from the people I’ve worked with at the newspaper, not to men-tion the friendships I have made along the way.

I can’t allow myself to say goodbye to The BG News because that’s too overwhelming. This is me saying I’ll see everyone on staff soon and I wish the best for every single one of you. I will never forget you.

feet,” which isn’t even the most unusual lyric on the album.

These lyrics are part of why you listen to AJJ,

though. The lyrics are vis-ceral, they’re supposed to elicit an immediate reac-tion, not one that simmers. And after repeated listens, you do, I suppose, start to get it.

In all, I’m excited about this direction. “Christmas

Island” isn’t an album meant to attract new lis-teners, it’s an album meant to please current ones without playing it safe. Going further into the abyss is how bands like this develop, and right now I’m happy to be a fan.
