Cookie Jar celebrates a decade of service
PHOTO BY SARAH NORTH
By Holly Shively
Editor-in-Chief
Approximately 131 to 150 pounds of flour,
38 pounds of butter, eight dozen eggs and
a passion for baking is just the beginning
of what it takes Cookie Jar owner and
head cookie chef Maureen Lanigan to get
through a day in the store.
Thursday marks Cookie Jar’s 10-year
anniversary and 10 years of serving the
Bowling Green community.
Lanigan and her then business partner
decided to open Cookie Jar in 2006 after
she fell in love with the town, adding to
her “biggest passion” - baking.
When the store opened only a few
other delivery shops existed, mainly pizza
shops and Mister Spots. Stores like Jimmy
Johns and Oasis wouldn’t come until later.
Lanigan said she and her partner
decided to go into the dessert business
because there was
no one in that
market yet, and it
paired perfectly
with her love for
baking.
When first
throwing around
ideas, Lanigan said
no one thought
anyone would wait
15 minutes for a
box of hot cookies.
Most cookies at
the time were
sold in the same
way bakeries sell
donuts and bagels
now. They would
pick one product to make Monday, a
different to make Tuesday, another for
Wednesday and so on, and then they
would serve the same product for four
days.
“Well on the fourth day, it’s clearly not
as good as the first,” Lanigan said.
She wanted her business to be focused
on freshness and quality, with “made from
scratch, hot cookies.”
On top of others’ doubt, banks wouldn’t
loan to the aspiring business owners
because the restaurant business was too
risky, but with family money and a loan
from the Bowling Green Community
Foundation, Cookie Jar opened anyway.
Not only did the store open, but it survived
through the recession of 2008.
“2008 was very, very difficult for
small businesses...but people still came
back, and I believe that’s because of the
product,” Lanigan said.
The store and its 24 employees, 20 of
which are Univeristy students, make the
dough fresh everyday with as few products
and as little waste as possible.
“Literally we make everything we can
make in a day, day after day, every single
day,” she said.
Despite the concerns, Lanigan said
people responded well to the wait for fresh
cookies, even young kids
encouraged their parents
to stick around.
She said the store
makes “Too many
(cookies) to count” every
day, but last school year,
on the busiest day, she
made nine batches of
dough for inception
cookies alone, not
including any other
dough for any other
cookies that day. Each
batch makes 130 dough
balls, totaling 1170
inception cookies in one
day.
She said with only two
ovens in the small shop it was up to a two
hour wait, but customers didn’t get angry
when she explained why.
“I’m not gonna prebake cookies
because that defeats the purpose of being
fresh,” she said.
This freshness along with the made-
from-scratch dough is what sets Cookie
Jar aside from its competitors who use
frozen dough and pre-baked cookies to
leave in a warmer until ordered.
Other competitors are faster because of
this and stay open later, but freshness and
her employees safety when leaving work
are more important to Lanigan.
She said she can also offer a variety
others can’t as a small business because
she has flexibility with her menu and
prices.
Part of this variety includes the cookie of
the day, which draws customers in for the
new flavors and offers a different menu
every day while keeping an affordable mix
of ingredients.
Cookie Jar has close to 300 recipes for the
cookie of the day.
“I just tried a recipe and tried it again. And
if it didn’t work, I tried it again,” Lanigan
said.
Cookie Jar has become a Bowling Green
“tradition for families, and that was all I
could ever hope for,” she said.
She shared stories of people saying they
can’t pass through to Michigan without
getting off freeway for Cookie Jar or can’t
leave Bowling Green after a kid’s soccer
camp without stopping. She even has
families stopping year after year to get the
same cookie cake for a birthday.
“Over the past 10 years, I have gotten so
many regular customers or clientele which
means the most to me,” she said.
The store will be celebrating its
anniversary simultaneously with the Black
Swamp Arts Festival and will offer several
specials.
If customers mentions the store’s
anniversary when ordering on Sept. 8
through 11, they will get 10 percent off their
entire order. In addition, when ordering
during these days, customers in the store
can enter for a chance to win a 10 cookie
hot pack every month for a year.
Lanigan also purchased a geofilter on
Snapchat that will be available in the store
on Sept. 8 and all along Main Street during
the Black Swamp Arts Festival Sept. 9
through 11. If customers take a snap with
the geofilter and show it in store, they can
get a free cookie with the purchase of any
hot pack.
“It’s not a product that you buy every
single day or every single week because it
is expensive, but I refuse to use cheaper
ingredients or make the cookies smaller,”
Lanigan said.
“Literally we make
everything we can
make in a day, day
after day, every
single day.”

Falcon Fanatics currently has over 800 members
and has been growing consistently over the past
five years. They are building the student section,
supporting student athletes and sponsoring
giveaways on campus.
Falcon Fanatics is a group that wants to make
campus life more exciting and enjoyable for
students. They work to get students to attend
the events of all 18 sports on campus, because
they know that once a student has attended
one game in the student section, they will enjoy
themselves enough to come back.
“One of our main priorities is just to support
our student athletes,” member Tyler Kemp said.
“They are just like us, but better at sports.”
President of Falcon Fanatics Courtney Griffith
said that she has made the group very active
on social media, especially on the class of 2020
Facebook page. The group is also active on
Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. She is excited
that there are so many freshman members this
year, because getting involved as a freshman
sets students up for a successful four years at the
University.
Griffith said that there are a lot of returning
students this year, which indicates to her that the
group has been successful in previous years.
Member Thomas Morone said, “We really
want to make it a goal to fill the Stroh Center for
basketball this year.”
To get involved in Falcon Fanatics there is a
membership fee of $10. Members receive all
kinds of incentives for being a part of Falcon
Fanatics. There are giveaways for sideline passes,
gift cards and Nike gear as well. Also upon joining,
members receive a Falcon Fanatics t-shirt, as
well as concession vouchers for sporting events.
The Falcon Fanatics gave away two pairs of
tickets to the BG vs. OSU game that happened
last weekend.
Griffith said the main advantages of being
a member are the exclusive events that are
available to attend. There are open practices,
and some students are able to have lunch with
a coach. She also said Falcon Fanatics get to help
protect the BG Rock during UT week, and as a
member students really get to delve further into
the BG experience.
Most of the membership sales have been
moved online with the help of the BGSU Ticket
Office, and there are also promotions online
where students buy their season tickets, which
Griffith thinks helped to build the membership
of Falcon Fanatics.
She said it is also very important for them to be
talking to students at the sporting events. Griffith
said that while Falcon Fanatics are going to be
loud and cheer on the athletes at games, it is also
important to connect with the students who
took time out of their schedules to watch and
support the teams.
She said that when people start to form those
personal connections in the student section,
that is when the games get really fun to attend.
Falcon Fanatics attendance depends on
which sport and game is happening. Griffith
said that most football and hockey games
have several hundred members. More active
members receive more benefits from the Falcon
Fanatics.
“It’s fun to see our members start to build
relationships with our leadership and the
student athletes, because then they come to
more games,” Griffith said. “It’s really a win-win
for everyone.”
Falcon Fanatics also make it a point to support
the athletes of sports that don’t regularly draw in a
large crowd, such as gymnastics and swimming.
“We try to show our members that these
sports are just as interesting to watch, and fun to
attend as the marquee sports,” Griffith said. “The
athletes genuinely appreciate the support.”

Whether it is Dan and Shay’s “From the
Ground Up”, Drake’s “Too Good”, or Fall
out Boy’s “Thnks fr th Mmrs”, music is the
glue that unites groups of people together.
Like duct tape for the soul, if you will.
When I storm into my dorm at the end of
a horrible day, sometimes my first thought
is to blast the music and calm my angry
emotions. When I am driving with friends
during the summertime, the music is on
maximum volume. Even when studying,
music finds its way quietly into my ears in
the middle of a statistics assignment.
In order to find out if I was the only one
experiencing the positive impact of music
in my life, I took it upon myself to ask some
of BG’s finest what they thought. I took a
short poll of students to find out whether
or not music impacted them spiritually,
mentally or emotionally. I asked over
50 students at the Union, on the way to
class, and in my dorm. The answer was a
resounding yes.
Every single student asked agreed that
they feel that music has impacted them in
some way during the course of their life.
Even Mike, the custodian, said that he has
been positively impacted by music. If the
poll does not provide conclusive results
in itself, think about the sight you see and
hear every day.
Students everywhere on campus have
headphones in their ears, listening to some
sort of music. We cannot even conclude a
silent fifteen-minute walk to class without
listening to our favorite songs. While many
of us may not realize it, music plays an
instrumental (pun intended) role in the
lives of college students and even faculty.
So what is the point?
Sure, music is great, but what real life
application can there be from this? Well,
music can act as a safety net to those of us
struggling with the fresh college transition.
Life is so different at college, and it can be
overwhelming the first few weeks in. When

Music can play a positive
role in everyone’s lives
Bailey Plummer
Columnist
“Music plays an
instrumental role in the
lives of college students
and even faculty.”
Bailey Plummer
Columnist
I think that what this world is missing right
now, during these strange, depressing,
tragic, yet optimistically wonderful times,
is the appreciation of the little things that
the world has to offer.
Yes, you should be out there mountain
climbing in the Swiss Alps and snorkeling
off the coast of Madagascar with some
lemurs, but those huge, life-changing
experiences are not the only things that
should make you happy.
Although exciting experiences should be
a part of what the world has to offer, it’s not
the only thing.
You’re not always going to be able to
save up the money for big trips and fancy
experiences. Maybe you’re not always
going to be healthy or in shape or up for
those huge adventures. Maybe you’ll have
a kid, or 12 dogs or a needy best friend to
take care of, and THAT’S OKAY.
This world has so much to offer, and
what I’m truly most excited for are those
little things in every day life that make
me happy. Yeah, yeah, I know that sounds
extremely cheesy, but it’s true! Being in my
early 20s and living in a college town is
exciting to me.
When we embrace the little things
instead of dwelling on the fact that we’re
not out doing those amazing things that
we really want to be doing, optimism and
overall happiness seems to rise.
Maybe this sounds like something that
your hippie great aunt’s yoga instructor
might say, but putting this appreciation
of the simple things into practice and
being mindful of all the good in the world
instead of the bad, has actually helped me
tremendously when I choose to practice it.
While I do dream of those breath-taking,
awesome traveling experiences, exploring
different countries, experiencing different
cultures, food and people, I more than
anything appreciate the minute, incredibly
simple yet satisfying things this world has
to offer.
And when you really think about it, this
planet we live on offers some pretty great
stuff. Relaxing on a porch with some really
great coffee? Craft beer? Have you heard
of Netflix? Being able to comfortably pay
your rent AND afford those concert tickets
you want? Oh yeah, have you seen dogs?!
Next time you’re struggling with getting
through the week or month or even year,
try to practice being mindful of the many
small victories and experiences you have
the opportunities to have.
Did you button up your pants today
without having to suck in? Finish folding
that laundry as the exact time your playlist
ended? Celebrate that.
So yes, I’m excited to live in the society
that we live in, even if it can be scary,
because I know that for every pile of sh**
that’s handed to us, there will always be
a glimmer of happiness to balance it out.
Even if that glimmer is just a Shrek movie
marathon with some friends (or your cat
or your dog or your fish).

experiencing a life changing transition
to college, it can be easy to fall subject to
bad habits in an attempt to cope with the
stress. These habits include undereating,
isolation, increased anxiety levels and
gaining the world renown “freshmen 15.”
Now while it may seem logical to visit
a counselor or visit a doctor, there are
other simple ways to cope with the stress
of your new home at BG. Music can act
as a bandage to assist in the struggles of
homesickness, anxiety and depression. Or
even act as an aid to cheer you up when it
is over 90 degrees outside and your dorm is
stuffier than a cold nose in the wintertime.
Music acts as a bond between the
emotions we feel and the emotions
expressed through lyrics and rhythm. It
is a perfect representation that you are
never alone. Each person has damage and
someone somewhere has dealt with many
of the same issues that you have.
By listening to music you like, the lyrics
and/or rhythm can appeal to your current
emotional state and provide comfort or
cheer you up. So whether you are blasting
jams from the rec center mid-workout,
quietly listening to calming music as you
study for your next final or jamming out
with your friends at two in the morning
eating insomnia cookies, let music be your
anchor.
Roll along and jam on.

Meet Yogi. He’s a service
dog for Rachel Klentz, a
senior digital arts major
here at the University.
In 2010, Rachel signed up
and got on a wait list for a service
dog and before she knew it she
had Yogi! (Fun fact – his whole
class of dogs was named after
cartoon characters including
dogs named Bugs and Goofy!)
According to Bowling
Green State University’s
Student Disability Services’
website, The Americans with
Disabilities Act Amendments
Act of 2008 (ADAAA) defines
a service animal as any dog
that is individually trained
to do work or perform
tasks for the benefit of an
individual with a disability,
including a physical, sensory,
psychiatric, intellectual, or
other mental disability.
Performing benefitting tasks
is an impressive skill that Yogi
has been trained to do.
Dog helps student succeed
“The dog was for the user
and one other person and
anyone else was not allowed
to even so much as make
eye contact with the dog.”
- Rachel Klentz
PHOTO BY SARAH SMITH
Klentz currently lives
off campus and can do so
comfortably with Yogi by
her side.
“I feel more comfortable
being home alone,” said Klentz.
“Before there was always
the ‘what if.’ What happens
if I need help, or I drop
something important, or I
need help getting out of the
house? Well he can help me
with all of that.”
A well-trained, well-behaved
dog, Yogi can do a countless
number of things that most
dogs cannot. A big item on
that list for Rachel is hitting
the automatic door buttons
on and inside of buildings. The
buttons for automatic doors
are designed to be extremely
accessible to those who need
them, but don’t always end up
being the easiest to access.
This is where Yogi and other
service dogs are helpful.
Before Yogi, Klentz said she
had pets but never a service dog.
She described the predicament
that she faced when only 11
years old, stating that the
agency she was originally going
to go through to get a service
dog enforced that “the dog
was for the user and one other
person and anyone else was
not allowed to even so much as
make eye contact with the dog.”
Having nine-year-old brothers,
Klentz’s family instead got a
golden retriever as a pet.
Yogi can do many other things
as well, including picking things
up for Rachel.
“He does know how to pick up
his toys when they are in my way,
he doesn’t always do it,” Klentz
joked, “but he theoretically
knows how to do it.”
He can even take off her socks
for her!
Yogi, as well as so many other
service animals, are a vital part
of so many people’s lives.

Clinton leads in polls
By Courtney Brown and Holly Shively
Reporter and Editor-in-Chief
America’s presidential candidates are battling
for the black vote come November and
Republican candidate Donald Trump has
been making efforts to sway them over.
“What do you have to lose?” Trump asked
black voters on Aug. 22, according to The
Washington Post. “It is a disaster the way
African Americans are living. I will straighten
it out.”
The Republican candidate even made his
way to Great Faith Ministries International, an
African American church in Detroit, on Sept. 3
to convince African Americans he was the best
choice for the presidency, according to The
Washington Post.
“(Trump) is promising black voters the
same things he’s promising everyone else -
He’ll create jobs,” BGSU College Republicans
President Garrett Reynolds said.
In the end, it all boils down to economics,
Reynolds said. Trump offers more economic
incentives for voters, while Democrats offer
more social incentives, he said.
However, despite Reynolds’ belief that
Trump could be beneficial to African
Americans, Trump’s recent efforts just do not
seem to be resonating with black voters.
It is the Democratic candidate, Hillary
Clinton, who is most likely to get the black
vote in November, University political science
professor David Jackson said.
“She’s going to get 90 percent of the black
vote,” he said. “Clinton has a very long
relationship with African American leaders.”
However, Clinton has made her mistakes
when it came to the black community, Jackson
said.
She had once called African Americans
“super-predators” back in 1996, and her
husband, former President Bill Clinton, had
worsened mass incarceration for black men
with his 1994 crime bill, he said.
Despite those damaging facts, the general
poll from the primary election between
the two candidates showed that African
Americans massively favored Clinton over
Trump, Jackson said.
While Clinton may lead in polls for the black
vote, University sophomore Dajha Alexis, a
moderate Republican, said she is 100 percent
sure she will not be voting for Clinton.
However, she isn’t sure she’ll vote for Trump
either.
“My original draws to liking Trump were
that he spoke what was on his mind,” she
said. “He said things people were thinking but
were afraid to say. This country in my opinion
seems to be putting immigrants over actual
citizens, in terms of safety. I think is time we
start putting America first again.”
“The responses for my support of Trump
tended to be very negative, especially from
those of my race ... I don’t think people
really understood Trump and just see him
automatically as racist or the Republican
side automatically as racist when that’s not
true,” she added. “To me they actually want
what’s best for the American people, including
African-Americans. They just go by a different
way.”
Alexis said Trump may have lost her

Bowling Green continues to attract new
students to the University with higher
enrollment rates for the third year in a row.
Through the University’s new facilities
on campus and partnerships around the
globe, the efforts contributed to a larger
freshmen class and a more prepared group
for college courses.
Information released at the 15-Day
Enrollment Total meeting Tuesday showed
the University’s improvements including an
overall freshmen enrollment growth along
with an increased GPA average according
to the Vice Provost for Strategic Enrollment
Planning Cecilia Castellano. The freshmen
GPA average is a 3.42 with an average score
of 22.8 on the ACT and follows the notion
that the University holds one of the most
selective classes in it’s history.
Bowling Green also continues to enroll
more students than the previous year with
increasing diversity, with a 3.3 percent
growth in students attending the University
totaling to 3,542 students,
Castellano said this year 20 percent of the
freshmen class is part of the multicultural
programs coming from countries such as
China, India, Saudi Arabia and recently
there has been a growth of new students
coming from Vietnam.
The new enrollments to multicultural
programs added to the total of 1,190
international students that attend the
University.
According to Castellano, a big contributer
to attracting students to Bowling Green is
the new facilities and renovations.
Castellano said not only does the
quality of “academic programs tied into
our new renovated facilities and the value
of the investment of what you’re making
at Bowling Green,” draw students to the
University, but experiential learning and
the Falcon Internship Guarantee program,
where students are guaranteed an
internship to study around the world also
attracts students who want to be successful
both in and out of the classroom.
The Kuhlin Center has also brought
interest to perspective students looking
into attending the University next academic
year.
“We’ve seen a growth in the School of
Communications majors this year but
we anticipate Fall of ‘17 having some
significant growth in those programs
because the facilities were not open for
students to check out,” Castellano said.
“But perspective students that are coming
for ‘17 are floored by the innovation and
opportunities that they have to really
connect what they’re learning in class into
the practical world.”
Another factor that brought students
to the University, other than their new
facilities, is the new partnerships that the
college continues to create with schools
around the world. If there were specific
programs that helped international
enrollment at Bowling Green, it was not
told during the press meeting.
Overall the new facilities, renovations,
and programs brought new interest to the
University creating larger classes at a more
selective rate.
The College Credit Plus program (CCP)
saw a large growth of students heading
towards BGSU and the Firelands Campus
by 38 percent to a total of 1,481 students
compared to 1,074 last year. The CCP
program allows students to take University
courses during high school and
get college credit before they are
considered a full-time student at
the University.
The University saw a small
amount of decreases going into
the new year. The Firelands
campus saw a decline in overall
students by 4.3 percent. A total
of 2,163 students now attend the

The Falcons football team will have their
first home game of the season on Saturday
afternoon, taking on the Football Cham-
pionship Series’ North Dakota Fighting
Hawks.
The team is still searching for their
first win of the season and are looking to
bounce back after losing their series open-
er to the Ohio State Buckeyes 77-10.
“You have no choice,” Falcons head
coach Mike Jinks said. “That’s just a part
of life, it’s adversity and how you handle
it and how you respond to it is what make
you who you are.”
The team is also looking to work on the
weak areas from last week’s game in order
to strengthen their game for Saturday.
“The first thing that you’ve got to do is
look yourself in the mirror and you’ve got
to be honest and you’ve got to take action
to fix the things that need to be fixed,” Jinks
said.
Despite the loss, the team is excited to
come back home and prepare for Satur-
day’s game.
“They’re a very resilient group,” Jinks
said about his players. “Saturday can’t get
here soon enough, I think that was every-
body’s attitude (Sunday) night, if we could
have come back and play the next day, we
would have.”
The team was also able to learn a lot
about what to expect from their players, as
well as where to play them.
“At the end of the day, with any team,
you’ve got to know your players,” Jinks
said. “You’ve got to know their abilities and
you can’t ask them to do things that maybe
they just can’t do.”
The team is also expecting North Dakota
to put a lot of emphasis on shutting down
the running game, however, the team has
been getting ready for that in practice.
“Looking at their season last year, they
were sixth in the country in stopping the
run,” Jinks said. “They’re going to load the
box and they’re going to bring a lot of pres-
sure, we’ve got to be able to handle that.”
On the offensive side, the team expects
North Dakota to run the ball often, as well
as minimize turnovers.
“They’re a very disciplined football
team,” Jinks said. “We’ve got our hands full,
we’ve got to play good football.”
The team is also looking forward to the
first home game of the season more than
usual, as Saturday’s game will mark the
50th anniversary of the team’s field, Doyt
Perry Stadium.
“I know that it’s a very storied tradition,”
Jinks said. “We got a chance to get out
on campus and around the student body
and I know they’re excited about their
(Mid-American Conference) champions
coming back home, we’re ready to perform
for them.”
The team is also looking to show what
they are really capable of doing this season,
after being set up against a very difficult
opponent for the first game of the season.
“This is the team we have,” Jinks said.
“This is our ‘16 team... I think when it’s all
said and done, we’ll be where we want to
be.”

The Bowling Green State University mens
soccer team defeated Cleveland State Uni-
versity on the road 1-0 in in double over-
time thriller on Wednesday. This was the
team’s first overtime game of the season.
BG came out at the gate firing on all
cylinders in the first period, attempting 23
shots, six of which were shots on target.
Cleveland State countered with a huge
game by their goalie Sebastian Kalk who
recorded 10 saves. Freshman Anthony
Mwembia also played well in front of the
net for Bowling Green, recording eight
saves in the game.
BG struggled to find a weakness in this
Cleveland State defense as many of their
shots were wide or blocked. The Falcons
also failed to take advantage of corner
kicks as they had four on the game.
“It was a hard fought game, we had many
opportunities where we could’ve converted
into points,” said BGSU Head Coach Eric
Nichols. ”It was one of those games were
shots weren’t falling in.”
Nichols also commented on his team’s
defense and the superb
play of Mwembia.
“I liked how our defense played through-
out, Anthony had another outstanding
game and gave us some stops when need-
ed and I liked how we kept our composure
when shots weren’t falling in,” he said.
A great opportunity presented itself early
in the second period when senior Jacob
Roth had a decent look to get the ball in the
net but was too high, hitting the crossbar.
The play was later called offsides on BG.
Both teams were in foul trouble early
and there were yellow cards drawn in the
late second period to Cleveland State’s
Jake Lagania and Bowling Green’s Keaton
Reynolds in what seemed to be a physical
altercation. Neither player was ejected and
both continued to play.
The game remained scoreless heading
into overtime as both teams were looking
to earn the win the hard way. In the first
overtime, BG attempted one shot while
Cleveland State had two shot attempts.
Neither could get on the board and the
game went into double overtime.
The play of the game came from fresh-
men Chris Brennan who made a clean
header shot off the free kick from Jacob
Roth with four seconds left to go in the
game.
“I’m proud of how the guys kept fighting
until the very end and I think there’s some
things we need to improve on, but never-
theless it was a well-earned win for us and
we’ll take it,” said Nichols.
The team looks to keep this winning
streak alive as the next game will be on the
road against Western Illinois University on
Saturday at noon.

Coming off a great weekend with back to
back sweeps against IPFW and Northern
Kentucky in the BGSU Invitational, the
Falcons were looking to continue their suc-
cess against a 4-3 Marshall team who lost
over the weekend to Indiana State.
Unfortunately, it didn’t play out the way
the Falcons had hoped for. This time, on
the receiving end of a sweep, the team
didn’t look like they same team that was at
the BGSU Invitational last weekend.
Coming off a weekend with Madeline
Garda being named invitational MVP and
Jelena Sunjic being awarded first-team
all-invitational, Garda was hit or miss all
night with her serves, not showing the
consistency she had shown in the last
week. Sunjic, as powerful as she is, was not
looking like the outside hitter she usually
plays like.
In the first set, the falcons got the
opening point, but produced very little
success after the Thundering Herd quickly
produced a 10-5 lead, causing BGSU Head
Volleyball Coach Danijela Tomic to take an
early timeout.
The momentum stopper took little effect
on Marshall, as they continued to outplay
the Falcons to an eventual score of 25-14 in
the opening set.
As the second set started, a series of
faulty serves by both teams led to an even-
tual 5-4 lead for the Thundering Herd, until
Sunjic tied it up at five with a powerful
spike, bringing the crowd to their feet.
After the Falcons took the lead at 12-8,
Marshall called timeout, hoping to stop the
run. The timeout proved worthy, con-
tributing to seven straight points which
registered a 15-12 lead.
The competitive set remained back and
forth until the teams tied 23. Marshall then
scored the next two volleys to win the set
25-23.
In the third set, the Thundering Herd
jumped out to a big opening lead at 5-0.
Tomic took a much needed timeout to
regroup her girls, leading to the Faslcons
trimming the deficit to only two at 9-7.
Marshall kept control the rest of the way
however, winning the set at a score of 25-
21, giving them a victory for the match.
As both teams walked off the court, it
was apparent that BGSU looked disap-
pointed in their play. Marshall seemed
to have everything going well for them in
the match and the Falcons simply had no
answer on the attack.
“This loss is not going to define us,”
Tomic said. “I know how we can play and
bounce and be better.”
With a record now of 2-2, the Falcons are
now on the road this weekend in Charles-
ton, Illinois for the EIU Panther Classic.
They play against Louisiana Tech on Friday
night and then have a double-header
against Eastern Illinois and Drake on
Saturday. When asked about the Panther
Classic, Tomic said “We’ll do our best, I
hope we can turn one, two, or three wins
in a row.”

BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY
TO ADVERTISE CALL 419-372-2606
By Hannah Finnerty
City Editor
Bowling Green City Council did not pass a
moratorium that would freeze a new state
law legalizing medicinal marijuana at its
meeting Tuesday night.
House Bill 523, passed on June 8
earlier this year, takes effect on Sept. 8
and legalizes the use and possession of
medical marijuana and accompanying
paraphernalia.
However, the rules accompanying this
piece of legislature are still in the works,
which has prompted several cities in Ohio
to pass moratoriums, preventing the state
law from taking effect in those cities for
a year.
With no regulations on where users
can purchase marijuana, City Attorney
Michael Marsh said implementing the
law now would cause a free for all while
the state devises the rules.
Marsh said legislators are working on
creating regulations for who can sell, who
can buy, how much can be sold and where
it can be sold. Until then, these questions
remain unanswered.
“The legislature made this decision, we
have to implement it as
soon as we can, but their
agencies need to do what
they were directed to do to
help us accomplish this,”
Marsh said.
Another unanswered
question that has yet to be
answered by legislators is
regarding the quality of the
product being sold.
Council member Scott
Seeliger, while expressing
sympathy for the people
that could benefit from the
law, discussed a concern
for the protection of
consumers.
Members stated they
could not knowingly
allow this law to be put in place
without regulations, knowing there is
no protection for the consumers of the
product, as there are no restrictions
regulating the sale.
“I don’t want to rush through and put
something in
place that has
no regulations.
The state
doesn’t
even
have
regulation
yet,” Seeliger
said.
Although
Member At-
Large Sandy
Rowland voted
in favor of the
moratorium,
she expressed
other
concerns
about the
Bowling Green
citizens
who have
a dire need for the relief that marijuana
supplies.
Rowland recently lost her brother, and
she said he would have benefited from
the use of medical marijuana.
“When this request for the moratorium
came, it really hurt,” Rowland said. “It hurt
to think that there are people suffering
who won’t be able to get [marijuana].”
Council member Daniel Gordon
opposed the moratorium, citing it would
be irresponsible of the council to prevent
Bowling Green citizens from obtaining
medication that they need.
“Knowing friends, folks, a number of
senior citizens who need this medicine,
to me, the human cost of them not getting
that kind of care . . . Bowling Green
people who need this to go to another
community in order to get this is too
much in my estimations,” Gordon said.
“I don’t feel comfortable rushing this
through tonight.”
With Member At-Large Robert Mcomber
absent from council and needing six
votes to pass the moratorium, Gordon’s
dissenting vote was enough to prevent the
moratorium.
Council votes not to ban medical marijuana
“I don’t want to
rush through and
put something in
place that has no
regulations. The state
doesn’t even have
regulation yet,”

On Tuesday, the Faculty Senate met for
their first meeting of the 2016-2017 academic
year. Once a month, the Faculty Senate brings
together over 60 faculty members from across the
campus. For over two hours the senate members
have the attention of both the president and the
provost of the University.
Senate chair Rachelle Kristof Hippler began
the meeting with a thank you to the senate
members, and proceeded to outline their major
goals for the year.
“My goals for the year include refocusing the
senate’s attention on teaching, learning and
professional development,” Kristof Hippler said.
The senate’s members met for a senators’
retreat to jumpstart their commitment to the
University’s overall success.
Kristof Hippler introduced guest speaker
Matthew Pellish of the Education Advisory Board
(EAB). His presentation was intended to help
the senate decide exactly what their role in the
University would be.
“What if other universities looked to our
senate for guidance on how to run their senates,”
Kristof Hippler said.
Prior to the guest speaker, President Mary
Ellen Mazey made some positive comments on
the state of the University.
“Our headcount as of the fifteenth day, today,
would be 19,812. That’s a 3.3 percent increase,”
Mazey said. “It’s the third year in a row that we’ve
admitted the best academically prepared class in
the University’s history.”
This year’s freshman class cumulatively had
a 3.4 grade point average and a 22.8 ACT. The
president went on to congratulate recruiters
and admissions staff for their work. The increase
in enrollment ensures the University will have
adequate funds in their 2016-2017 budget.
After the president and other senators spoke,
Pellish began his presentation on the issues
higher education is facing in the United States.
He outlined some of the statistics surrounding
higher education, like the $1.1 trillion in student
loan debt United States students collectively
have. Comparatively, there is currently $660
billion in credit card debt.
The senate plans to use the questions and
concerns this presentation unearths to plan
future senate meetings.
“One (issue) that comes up a lot is the
sustainability of higher education,” Pellish said.
“Will we be here as an institution in five years, in
10 years, in 20 years?”
Citizens are questioning whether or not
college is worth it as the United States comes
out of the last recession, he said. Only one third
of recent graduates believe that their education
was worth the cost.
“There’s a lot of value to what we do. There’s a
lot of great things that are the outcome of higher
education,” Pellish said.

vote when announcing Pence as his vice
president because Pence tried passing a bill
discriminating against the LGBT community,
a group Alexis also identifies with. She
also thinks a lot of things Trump hopes to
accomplish will be ruled unconstitutional
anyway, and he’s become quite radical.
“I honestly do not agree with the wall or
kicking all Muslims out, but I do agree some
problems come from immigrants,” she said.
“But I believe there are better ways to handle
them then aggressive behavior like such.”
Alexis said Trump has done nothing to
appeal to the black vote which is “why it makes
it hard for me to explain to other African-
Americans why he’s the right decision or even
myself sometimes” because he generalizes
groups without understanding what the group
faces.
Clinton not only leads the polls for black
votes, but as of last week Public Policy Polling
revealed a new poll showing zero percent
of African Americans supported Trump,
according to The Hill on Aug. 29.
“There will certainly be some African
American voters that will support him, but
I don’t imagine that (he) will get a sizeable
amount,” Democratic Chairman Mike Zickar
of Wood County said.
“Elected (Democrats) really try to keep
a strong connection between the issues of
the African American community and the
Democratic Party,” he said. “Pushing for
more affordable and free college education
... and lifting families into the middle class is
something that really resonates with African
Americans.”
The Republican candidate has inflicted
a lot of damage to his campaign from his
racist remarks, Zickar said. Regardless, the
Democrats are still taking Trump’s campaign
seriously despite his low chances in getting the
black vote.
“Donald Trump’s worst enemy is Donald
Trump,” he said.
“There will certainly be
some African American
voters that will support
him, but I don’t imagine
that (he) will get a
sizable amount,”
