Talent show features homecoming spirit

Continues on Page 3

By Holly ShivelyCity Editor

With Homecoming right around the corner,

University celebrations are in full swing.

University students displayed their flip-

ping, roping, singing and dancing skills at

BG’s Got Talent last night.

One of these celebrations, BG’s Got Talent,

occurs every year. This year’s event was

emceed by Rosco (NoE), a University gradu-

ate from last December.

As a Homecoming festivity, President

Mazey made a guest appearance, bring-

ing along football players Scotty Miller and

Nico Lautanen, members of the Falcon

Marching Band and Falcon Fanatics

to encourage students to attend the

Homecoming game Saturday.

“We need each and every one of you to

come to the game Saturday and bring ten of

your friends,” Mazey said.

SIC SIC also attended the show.

The winning performance of the night,

judged by a panel of representatives from

Undergraduate Student Government,

Panhellenic council and Black Student

Union, along with former Frieda and Freddy

Falcons, was that of the Bowling Green High

Flyers, a group that uses acrobat and tum-

bling skills to entertain.

To begin their performance, the BG High

Flyers began by doing various flips and acro-

batic techniques, such as walking on their

hands and cartwheels. To increase the dif-

ficulty, the group jumped over one member

and proceeded to make a human bunk bed.

The group then stacked members in vari-

ous ways to make the height more difficult

for members to jump and flip over.

The High Flyers went on to incorporate a

trampoline into the act. With the ability to

jump higher, the High Flyers stacked their

members higher.

Not only did they stack members tall,

they lined them up horizontally. The group

brought up several volunteers from the audi-

ence, forming a line longer and longer as the

performance went on.

After they sent audience members back

to their seats, the High Flyers brought out

a long jump rope. While members jumped

in and out of the ropes reach, they contin-

ued doing the various flips they are known

across Campus for. To end the performance,

one group member jumped into the

swing of the long rope while indi-

vidually jumping in a smaller rope,

sending the crowd into cheers.

In addition to the High Flyers,

there were eight other performanc-

es.

One of these performances includ-

ed Ten40, an all-male acappella

group on Campus. Ten40 performed

three songs, one which named an

audience member as their sweet-

heart. The group won the crowd vote

for best act.

H o n e s t l y, I d i s l i k e w r i t i n g a b o u t

m y o p i n i o n s .

It’s ironic that I am in charge of this

section of this paper, though I by no means

intend to discredit my qualifications for my

job here.

What I mean, though, is that opinions

can be deceptive. Everyone has them, there

is no doubt about that. Even people who

claim to have no opinion in a certain topic

can still be considered to be of the opinion

that theirs is not yet fully developed.

So, for me that is what I dislike about

writing about my opinions, sticking

specifically to the realm of politics, pop

culture and the like.

As a philosophy student, I find myself

constantly attempting to carefully make

myself aware of all the perspectives that

would be required for the most well-

rounded understanding of a topic.

But this is daunting, if not impossible;

yet it is something we endeavor nonetheless.

So, my call to action in this column is this:

consider that your colleagues endeavor to

this end as well. When opinions are being

volleyed amongst friends, everyone’s

ideas are the result of what they know

up until that point, yourself included.

Remain open to other’s perspectives.

Their conclusions can sometimes be

objectively wrong, but the places that they

come from are usually founded in their

real life experiences and understandings.

I am constantly testing myself.

Do you know how many people are in the

world? You probably do. Do you understand

how many that is? Actually, you definitely

do not. Scientifically, humans are rather

incapable of understanding numbers

larger than some thousands and tens of

thousands, if even that high.

With this in mind, given that we can

barely contemplate the sheer volume of

humans, it would seem to follow that we

are less likely to understand the depth

of the individual experiences of each

and every one of those people living and

thinking today.

In philosophy, a hotly contested topic

are various areas of relativism. Moral

relativism, basically is that what is right

in one culture or setting could be wrong in

another, and vice versa. This notion does

not bode well for many. While I am not here

to give my pitch for or against these ideas

absolutely, there is regardless a little truth

to be gleamed.

You may very well condemn people for

their opinions, and others may agree with

you in your vindications, but you may never

truly know all you need to know to fall back

infallibly on these views.

SUBMISSION POLICY

In my last column, I reminded you of

the responsibility you ultimately have in

defending and protecting your own rights.

I also advised you to gain and remember

the knowledge of what those rights are and

never forget them. It seems only fair now

that I give you a tool to help you defend and

protect those rights.

No, I’m not handing out guns off campus.

Instead, I’m going to talk about the one key

aspect of every human being that both

challenges and strengthens every person

who utilizes it. That is, their human

intelligence or sentience. Their innate

ability to understand themselves and their

place in or effect on the universe.

Human intelligence is both a blessing

and curse. It’s a curse, because knowledge

of one’s own self leads immediately to

a vague notion of knowledge of others.

That is to say, once a person understands

their own wants, needs, strengths and

weakness. They can understand the same

things in others.

This easily leads to deception and taking

advantage over others. Such a thing can

be a nifty tool. Every business interaction

you’ve ever had has been in some way

either you taking advantage of someone

else, or someone else taking advantage

of you. Or both. In mild situations, there

is often little harm done, and in most

circumstances these interactions can

lead to mutually beneficial transactions.

For a direct example, think of the latest

film you enjoyed. You paid a company to

sit there and lie to you for a few hours. In

essence, you took advantage of a group

of people by demanding they entertain

you. And they took advantage of you by

giving you a packaged product that played

on your emotions in such a way that you

were entertained. They have money. You

enjoyed the film. No harm done.

But there are plenty of occasions when

taking advantage is a horrible thing.

Think of every politician who has ever

pushed for a “just” war, especially after

September 11th. Not to get too far into

the political weeds, but there has been

very little trouble for political leaders to

gain support for military efforts once the

nation’s population was shaken by the

terrorist events of 9/11. Fear, hatred and

anger were all played upon in order for war

fighters to get their wars.

And now, a decade and a half later,

the nation is acutely feeling the ef fects

of these wars and militar y operations.

T he economy is d ragg i ng. Foreig n

policy is crippled. The militar y itself

is thinly manned and heav i ly fat igued.

A nd t he Nat iona l Secu r it y Agenc y

has been discovered to be spy ing on

American cit izens.

These are amongst many other hefty

issues that are the fruit of taking advantage

of people’s wants, needs, strengths and

weakness and emotions.

However, that same cursed intelligence

has a wonderful blessing and defense that

comes with it. You can know when you are

being tricked. It’s not a catchall process, as

it leads to further necessary actions; and

it requires constant practice, sharpening

and honing and demanding the exercise of

one’s intelligence to pull it off.

Simply: question everything. Or, if that

knocks you upside the head too hard with

conspiracy theorist mumbo-jumbo, trust

but verify. Basically, don’t take anything at

face value. If someone hands you a wad of

bills and tells you it’s $20, count it. Make

sure it’s indeed $20 and not someone trying

to trick you. That’s the simplest example I

can think of, and once you can grasp the

concept behind that, you can carry it on

into everything.

Is someone stating their pills will lead to

a miracle cure? Learn the science behind

it. Make sure it’s real. Is someone claiming

Planned Parenthood is harvesting fetuses

and selling them? Find out for yourself.

They aren’t a secret organization, and there

is plenty of information available at the

source. Is someone claiming that because

you enjoy drinking on a Saturday night that

you are going to burn for all eternity after

you die? Ask that person for proof.

Ultimately, that is the point behind

questioning everything or trusting but

verifying. Demand proof. Carl Sagan has

a famous line that states: “Extraordinary

claims require extraordinary proof.” He’s

right. The bigger the claim, and frankly the

more at stake going along with the claim,

the more validation is needed.

It is dangerous to go through life accepting

everything you see, hear or even experience

as what you initially understand it to be.

There is no easier way to be tricked. A wad

of bills can feel like $20 and only contain

$15. If you accept that it’s $20 just because

someone says it is, then you run the risk of

accepting $15 instead.

Of course, this is subjective matter. There

are plenty of people who believe faith and

trust are equally as valid as verification

and proof. I’m interested in arguing that,

and welcome a counterargument. But for

now, I leave you with this important tool

in defending and protecting your rights.

When you think someone is trying to take

them away, question them.

And ultimately, this is also an opinion.

So here is my real call to action: write

for us! Here at the BG news we really love

our columnists and the audacity they have

to come forth and put their opinions out

there. I think that many of us appreciate the

karma involved when we are enlightened by

contrasting opinions that deal with topics

Becky Laab given a chance to achieve a lifelong dream with a new space

Jennifer VerzuhPulse Editor

Becky Laabs’ retirement didn’t last long,

less than a month in fact.

After spending 35 years as a junior high

and high school art teacher in Bowling

Green, upon retiring in 2008 Laabs opened

her very own store that same month.

Becky Laabs, owner and director of the

local art studio art-a-site! (which formerly

operated as a gallery as well) in downtown

Bowling Green, said having her own art

store was something that had been on

her bucket list “before I even knew what a

bucket list was.”

“When I was little girl I didn’t play with

dolls, I played store,” she said.

Art-a-site! moved locations in July and

had a ribbon cutting ceremony to cel-

ebrate last week. The mayor, chamber of

commerce employees and members of the

community were all present.

Mayor Richard Edwards, whose own

children were former students of Laabs,

congratulated her on the new location

and her contributions to the community.

“Becky, you never cease to amaze

me,” he said. “You’re always teaching us,

always helping us, always challenging our

creative senses.”

He noted this was the twent y-f if th

r ibbon cutt ing he’d taken part in this

year, and she had a “hel l of a nice new

place here.”

“Your mom and dad would be super,

super proud,” Edwards said. “You’re leav-

ing a great tradition here.”

Art-a-site! offers art classes, workshops

and lessons for children and adults as

well as the more popular painting parties,

which are “a step by step painting process,

the art leader goes step by step to guide

[everyone] through to a finished painting

that they can take home that evening and

display,” Laabs said.

She emphasizes the parties, which are

available in all mediums, require no expe-

rience. Actually, she loves it when people

without much expertise in art come in.

“It’s so rewarding to hear adults who

have doubts about their own art abilities

walk out saying, ‘I didn’t know I could do

that,’” Laabs said.

According to her, painting parties have

really taken off nationwide in the past few

years, which she credits to the renewed

interests in do-it-yourself.

“We discovered that rather than buying

someone else’s artwork people are more

excited about doing their own.”

Laabs, a BGSU graduate herself, said she

is eager to get the University more involved

in her business.

“The University... attracts so many

excellent artists,” she said. “I would love

to have us feed off each other a little. We

could have students teaching a class.”

She also said she would be interested in

working with art management students

and taking on an intern to help with

social media.

Jessica Gibson, who works with Laabs at

art-a-site!, and was also a former student

of hers, said she hopes to see more stu-

dents take advantage of the studio as well,

whether it be sororities planning a sister-

hood or a sports team.

“I think it’s a really important collabora-tion for downtown Bowling Green to include the University and vice versa because we’re in a community and so we’re definitely hop-

ing that more organizations at BGSU are going to want to participate in parties here,” Gibson said. “Just anything really to just bridge that gap between BG as a commu-nity and BGSU and really make students, give them things to do while they’re here in Bowling Green so that they might perhaps want to stay here for the weekends and not always go home for the weekends.”

Laabs, a native of Bowling Green, said

the town has always been “very special” to

her and supportive.

“I’ve always felt that it was a town with a

lot of gifted artists and an interest in sup-

porting artists.”

Not all collaborations work. While there is

an undeniably large amount of chemistry

between the three of them, Big Grams ulti-

mately created a flat, unimpressive 26-min-

ute EP.

Atlanta native Big Boi, best known for

his work with André 3000 in the hip-hop

duo Outkast, is a renowned figure in the

music world. Along with Outkast, Big Boi

has two critically acclaimed solo albums

to his name.

Phantogram, is an electronica duo from

Greenwich, New York formed by Josh Carter

(vocals, guitar) and Sarah Barthel (vocals,

keyboards) in 2007. Since then they have

released two full-length studio albums and

several EPs.

With appearances from producers 9th

Wonder and Skrillex and a feature from Run

The Jewels, the project seemed as if it was

set for success.

After the release of singles “Lights On,”

“Fell In The Sun” and “Goldmine Junkie”

Big Grams didn’t leave much to be antici-

pated. While Big Boi does lay out some

impressive scattered verses on these tracks,

much of his lines tend to lack any depth.

The instrumentals that Phantogram

creates often feel forced when paired with

the Atlanta rapper. For example in a disap-

pointing opening track for the EP titled

“Run For Your Life,” the electronic beat

feels awkward and choppy as Big Boi jumps

all over the place providing graceless lyrics.

During “Put It On Her,” with the instru-

mental done by 9th Wonder, Big Boi’s

verses sound the most natural they have

yet on the EP. Barthel’s vocals are impres-

sive up until this point and on the follow-

ing track, “Goldmine Junkie”,they seem to

fall f lat and begin to feel uninspired.

The highest point in this album occurs

when Run The Jewels makes their appear-

ance on “Born To Shine.” Killer Mike and

El-P have encountered huge success lately

with their Run The Jewels project and that

is clearly shown here by their ability to

overshadow Big Boi and really take control

of the song.

The EP ends with the highly anticipated

yet surprisingly lackluster Skrillex feature

on “Drum Machine.”

It’s hard to say what was really expected

from such a strange collaboration to begin

with. While it’s not terrible by any means,

the EP leaves a lot to be desired. However,

it’s likely Big Grams will be making mul-

tiple festival appearances this coming

summer.

Collaboration EP leaves much to be desired

Hannah Finnerty Pulse Reporter

When I first picked up “Girl in the Woods,”

the summary on the back of the dust cover

immediately put me off.

Aspen Matis’ story, published earlier this year, seemed strangely reminiscent of “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail,” Cheryl Strayed’s memoir (which was adapted into a film last year). It was my belief that no one could tell their story of the Pacific Crest Trail as comprehensively and meaningfully as Strayed had.

Strayed and Matis each struggled through

traumatic experiences as young adults and

both looked to alter the direction that their

lives were headed. Both women abandoned

the comfort of a bed and the convenience of

fresh water for a dehydrating, blister-induc-

ing, but life changing, hike from Mexico to

Canada known as the Pacific Crest Trail.

I was skeptic of Matis. What I questioned

was not the validity of her past experiences

or her crusade to find herself on the trail

among the chaos, but rather her ability to

tell her story in an effective way.

The further I delved into “Girl in the

Woods,” I realized their memoirs are both

about changing their lives within 2,650

miles. They are similar in that aspect.

However, the experiences they had before

the trail could not be more different.

Strayed’s mother was her happiness and

link to reality. After her mom passed from

cancer, heroin became the only consistent

place of comfort for her. While waiting in

line to buy a snow shovel at REI, Strayed

picked up a copy of the PCT guidebook. She

knew she had to make a drastic change in

order to instill purpose in her life again, and

the PCT would be that change.

On her second night at Colorado College

her freshman year, Aspen Matis, was raped

by a classmate in her dorm room. Alone with

parents and a school board that refused

to acknowledge the sexual assault, Matis

floundered her way through the first year

of college with no sense of attachment to

anything besides the fact that she had been

raped. Colorado had been a place Matis

loved, but the Pacific Crest Trail is what

could fix her. She dropped out just weeks

before spring term ended and set her sights

on completing the PCT.

At the end of it all, I was surprised to see

how different Matis and Strayed were, not

only in their tales of the trail, but also what

they learned from those experiences.

Strayed became comfortable with the

idea of her mother’s death and was able to

move on. Matis found herself and discov-

ered the strength it took to talk about her

rape. She went back to Colorado College to

discuss it with current students.

In her own words, “The bravest thing I

ever did was leave [Colorado College]. The

next bravest thing I did was come back, to

make myself heard.”

While it may not be the emotionally mov-

ing novel Strayed published, “Girl in the

Woods” is still worth the read.

The true beauty of this books lies not in

the writing style or plot development, but

rather the fact that this is the raw expe-

rience of Aspen Matis. The Pacific Crest

Trail took a depressed college dropout and

transformed her into a strong woman with

the confidence to share her metamorphosis

with readers.

Students as young as 7th grade can now take

college classes from the University through

a program called College Credit Plus.

College Credit Plus began this fall enabling

high school and middle school students to

take college level courses online and at the

University.

The program is designed to provide stu-

dents access to college credits as well as

high school credits, which appear on both

transcripts.

“The main reason for the program is to be

more rigorous than high school,” explained

John Fisher, vice-provost of Academic

Affairs. “It is for students who are doing well

and who are productive, and at the same

time, increase the number of students who

are going to college and the speed at which

they are graduating.”

College Credit Plus currently has an over-

all enrollment of 1,150 students, and a hand-

ful of attendees are even from middle school.

“On the Firelands campus there are

approximately 362, on the main campus

there are approximately 188, and the rest are

taking courses at their high school or some

place connected to either Firelands or us.

We have 19 agreements with high schools

around northwest and southwest Ohio, all

students ranging from different schools,”

says Fisher.

To participate in College Credit Plus, stu-

dents must prove by law that they are college

ready in the courses they wish to enroll in,

and must attain at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0

grading scale.

When questioned whether or not middle

school students are academically or emo-

tionally ready for college classes, Fisher said,

“As a whole, I think most middle schoolers

are not ready academically or emotionally,

but some are. The ones that are here have

proved that they are ready.”

Matthew Brennan is an 8th grader attend-

ing Heron Middle School and is enrolled

in a Computer 1000 course online at the

University. His mother, Kim, feels fully con-

fident that he will succeed in College Credit

Plus.

She said, “He is very strong in computers

and I thought it would be good take this

class because he’s very strong in that, and it

would be a very good first experience.”

Brennan said, “I think the program will

help because I can get a step ahead of a

lot of other people if they are also attend-

ing in the same area, and get a head start,

which would help because I would graduate

before them.”

One worry surrounding middle schoolers

partaking in College Credit Plus is being

unable to successfully keep up with the

heavy course work.

“Stuff does take a little bit longer time (to

do), but I’m not struggling in anything,” said

Brennan.

Another student, Tony Zadeh, a 7th grader

from Norwalk Middle School, is taking an

art class on campus through College Credit

Plus.

Neither the workload nor the environ-

ment are Zadeh’s main concern.

Zadeh said, “Mainly my struggle is the

painting part, it’s hard to get exactly in the

lines I draw.”

Zadeh’s mother, Kim, believes College

Credit Plus will ultimately benefit her son.

She also had some concerns, though.

She said, “The school needs to do a little

bit better job at communication and delays

between the district and the college. Only

two children from our school district are

participating, and I’m sure there are others

who qualify.”

Despite any struggles or delays, the

University is using multiple methods to help

students succeed.

“I appreciate what the state is trying to

do, and that is, when a student is prepared

and ready, give them more challenging work

that helps them on their academic path and

toward their career goals,” said Fisher. “We

have tried to meet the requirements of the

law, but also acted them by providing lots

of additional advisors, tutoring help, faculty

mentors, to make sure everyone who has

proven academically ready is successful.”

Competition draws head coach to BG

Head Coach Eric Nichols giving direction during a practice. Nichols has been with the Falcons since 2008.

By Zane MillerSports Reporter

Bowling Green mens soccer head coach Eric

Nichols is in his seventh consecutive season

managing the Falcons. However, he has been

involved in the sport for much longer than that.

Before Nichols had begun to get into coach-

ing, he played for the Ohio State Buckeyes

during the 1990 season, where he first played

against the Falcons and learned what ‘BG

brand’ soccer was all about.

“When I played at Ohio State,” Nichols said.

“I realized that Bowling Green was a real soc-

cer power.”

After leaving Ohio State, Nichols played in

the United States International Soccer League

for the Columbus Xoggs from 1995-1996, as well

as the Indiana Blast from 1997-1998. He also

played briefly for the Columbus Invaders of the

National Premier Soccer League in the 1996

season, playing both midfielder and defender

throughout his playing career.

“I enjoyed competing

the most, no question,”

Nichols said of his playing

career. “I like soccer, but I

loved competing.”

After wrapping up his

playing days, Nichols didn’t

go directly into coaching but

instead worked at a comput-

er consulting firm. He also

went back to Ohio State and

earned his Bachelor of Arts

Degree in Political Science in 2000.

“After I was done playing, I went and got

what I call a real job,” Nichols said.

That didn’t mean Nichols left soccer entirely;

in fact, soccer continued to be a primary focus

prior to his start in college coaching for the

Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops mens team

in 2000.

“I was coaching on the

side and as I was going to

work, I would always spend

more time thinking about

coaching,” Nichols said.

“So I was offered a job to

work at Ohio Wesleyan as

assistant coach.”

Nichols remained at the

assistant coaching posi-

tion until the 2004 season,

when he took his first head coaching role for

the Ohio Dominican Panthers. He led the

Panthers to a 74-14-3 record over his four sea-

son tenure with the team. He also lead them

to four consecutive titles in the Great Lakes

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, as well as

two NCAA Regional Championships and one

Final Four appearance.

After spending the 2008 season with the

Davidson Wildcats as an assistant coach,

Nichols made the move to become head coach

of the Falcons.

“There’s not too many opportunities to

coach,” Nichols said. “Once I got the offer to

coach a Division I team, I wanted to take it.”

So far throughout Nichols’ time as head

coach of the Falcons, he has accumulated a

50-57-20 record. That includes a 14-6-1 record

in 2014, which was the team’s first winning

record since the 2000 season and the best

since the 18-6-0 record the team achieved in

the 1997 season. Currently, the Falcons stand

on a 6-6-1 record.

“I enjoyed competing the most, no question.”- Eric Nichols, Head Coach

The Bowling Green State University Athletics

Department inducted five alumni into its

Athletics Hall of Fame for its 49th class of induct-

ees. The inductees were Jim Lessig, Bill Jones, Dan

Bylsma, Kelly Hunt and Marcia Saneholtz.

Director of Athletics Chris Kingston inducted

the members last weekend.

Lessig served as Bowling Green’s athletic

director from 1978 to 1982. During his tenure

he saw two NCAA tournament appearances

in hockey, a co-MAC championship in men’s

basketball and three MAC championships in

women’s cross country.

Lessig also served as MAC Commissioner from

1982 to 1990 and was on the forefront of the

execution of women’s sports in the MAC.

His other career achievements include serving

as a head scout, director of special promotions

and assistant coach to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“I feel very fortunate to be joining a Hall of

Fame whose members have done so much to

create the rich tradition and history of Bowling

Green State University’s athletic program,” Lessig

said. “To be honored by a University that has done

so much for my family and myself is very special.”

Bylsma was a member of the Falcon hockey

team from 1988 to 1992 and scored 87 points from

37 goals and 50 assists during his collegiate play-

ing career. He went on to play nine seasons in the

NHL before retiring in 2004.

Bylsma then worked his way to the head coach-

ing position for the Pittsburgh Penguins. There he

won a Stanley Cup and was named NHL Coach of

the Year in 2011.

“My four years at BGSU as a student and as an

athlete were a dream come true,” Bylsma said.

“It was instrumental in developing me into the

person I am today. It is a huge honor to be elected

into the BGSU Athletics Hall of Fame.”

Saneholtz was a member of the Falcon wom-

en’s basketball team from 1962 to 1964 but it is

her other achievements that make her a standout.

Saneholtz is an advocate for gender equality

and served as the National Association of College

Women Athletic Administrators president from

1992 to 1993. She was named Administrator of the

Year in 1997 and received a lifetime achievement

award in 2010.

“I am incredibly humbled and honored,”

Saneholtz said. “Bowling Green has always been

a special place for me; a great academic institu-

tion with wonderful faculty. I’ve always greatly

valued my years there.”

Hunt was inducted for his accolades in base-

ball from 1999 to 2003. Regarded as one of the

best players in program history, Hunt was a MAC

Conference Player of the Year in 2002 and ranks

first all-time in the program in career batting

average, total bases, RBIs and home-runs.

Hunt went on to play professional baseball

after being selected by the Detroit Tigers in 2003.

He played as high as AA Erie in 2006.

“I have nothing but great memories of all the

great guys I had the privilege of playing with. I am

thankful to be a Falcon,” Hunt said.

Jones was the head athletic trainer at BGSU

from 1974 until 2002. He is still active in the

athletics department, serving as a member of

the scorer’s crew in basketball and medical

observer in football.

“Their collective achievements and con-

tributions are nothing short of spectacular,”

Kingston said.

By Kyrstin JamesReporter

The room was buzzing with conversation as

music played in the background. Notecards

were placed at each seat. Ashley Jackson,

president of Visionaries Inspiring Beauty and

Esteem, sat down at the head of the table.

“Today’s topic is inspiration. What makes

you feel inspired?” she said. The hands of the

attendees became busied with writing. The

conversations came to a hush.

Within minutes, Jackson presented herself

formally and said VIBE is for “all different

people. Anyone who does anything creative

can come together, collaborate, teach each

other and learn from each other.”

VIBE is a new student organization on

campus that seeks students interested in

poetry, song writing, art and any other form

of creative expression. The club meets weekly

to discuss their creative pursuits, organize

projects and build on their talents.

The meeting took a turn towards brain-

storming. There was discussion of publishing

a poetry book, doing a music video or danc-

ing an interpretation of a painting. The ideas

seemed endless and Jackson continually said

“Let’s do it!” in response to each suggestion.

As the meeting continued, the focus redi-

rected to the question, “What inspires you?”

Jackson welcomed the conversations as

they branched off into various topics. The

discussion was full of passion as each person

discussed their focuses on adversity in com-

munities and social issues. Through their

poetry and song writing they seemed to high-

light the issues they held most dear, whether

it be in the world or within their hometowns.

Some spoke of their art evoking experiences

of their own.

VIBE aims to welcome this kind of free-

form conversation.

“In college you are going to experience a

growth within you. You can express yourself

with no judgement,” said VIBE’s Secretary

Amber Jones.

“The best way for the vision to grow is peo-

ple collaborating. People’s visions could cre-

ate something I would never think of myself,”

said Jackson.

While VIBE offers this free expression and

support, it also has plans to build self-esteem

in those who create.

“When I was growing up, I used to deal

with confidence issues. Music was my way

out. Being able to conquer the stage gave me

the confidence to conquer everything else in

my life,” said Jackson.

Because of this personal connection to art,

Jackson says VIBE aims to “build confidence

in other artists, to give them a support group

to learn from each other and speak truth to

society while uplifting others.”

Because of this philosophy, students are

inspired to create and perform.

“I write poetry. I am just now starting to

perform and VIBE has helped with that,” said

Jones.

In regards to the club itself, it has some

students interested in joining.

“It would be relaxing and inspiring to get

away from homework and talk about things

you really honestly care about,” said fresh-

man inclusive early childhood education

major Jaclyn Willman.

FALCONFACTS

Point of Pride...

The University’s Jerome Library is home to three nationally prominent special collections: the Browne Popular Culture Collection, the Historical Collections of the Great Lakes and the Sound Recordings Archives.

become a parking lot or more apartment build-

ings, and they looked to 1st Ward councilman

Daniel Gordon for help.

“We didn’t know who was going to be the high-

est bidder, and so we didn’t know what use there

would be for it,” Gordon said.

Though there were many options for the lot,

including a charter school, senior center and

office space, citizens were concerned with the

loss of the only public play space for children

in the 1st Ward. With this in mind, Gordon

presented Ordinance 8277 to purchase the site

and build Ridge Park. City council appropri-

ated the funds to purchase the site and demol-

ish the school building in a unanimous vote to

approve Ordinance 8277.

“Our department didn’t have money set aside

for a brand new park,” said Parks and Recreation

Director Kristin Otley.

Without already existing funds, Parks and

Recreation, along with city council, set to fund-

raising. Gordon said through grants and private

donations over $70,000 has been raised towards

the $85,000 goal.

The city plans to complete Ridge Park in

two phases. Development of the southern

half, facing Ridge Street, is phase one and will

include the playground equipment, bike racks,

benches, trees and plaques commemorating

the school and thanking donors. Phase one will

be completed and opened at the ribbon cutting

ceremony Monday.

“The city is kind of taking the wait and see

approach,” Gordon said about phase two. Gordon

anticipates development will come for the open

space, but it will wait until the city sees what

citizens want.

Preserving a play space for local families isn’t

the only benefit of building Ridge Park.

Gordon said the City Improvement Plan

showed the east side has been neglected over the

past several decades.

“When housing conditions deteriorate, when

property values decline—when people don’t feel

as safe or proud of their neighborhoods—that

affects the entire city,” Gordon said. “It’s now

actually conventional wisdom that we need to do

more for our east side neighborhoods…and Ridge

is definitely part of that.”

Tom Rodgers, a University student running

against Gordon for election to city council in the

1st Ward said, “The park obviously is going to

increase the home value in that area, and I think

the next step for increasing the value of that area

is to fix up the houses … and when we do that

we’re making the whole community better and

making it more attractive for more young couples

to move in.”
