Local venues to host ‘Red Wanting Blue,’ other actsBy Geoff Burns

Reporter

As the spring semester begins, students can look forward to local concerts and events at Cla-Zel and Howard’s Club H start-ing as early as next week.

Bands such as Red Wanting Blue, Luke James and the Thieves and 21 Pilots will be performing at Howard’s Club

H, while Konkrete Jungle and other events will take place at Cla-Zel.

Broc Curry, president of Innovation Concerts in Toledo, is bringing Red Wanting Blue to Howard’s Club H in February. Curry was also in charge of bringing acts such as Motion City Soundtrack and Sleigh Bells to the Cla-Zel in the fall.

“[The] Red Wanting Blue

show will most likely sell out Howard’s Club H,” Curry said. “I don’t have anything com-ing up right now that’s booked, but hopefully we’ll have little things coming up at Howard’s in the spring.”

Banan Alkilani, general man-ager at Cla-Zel, said Konkrete Jungle is going to continue the last Thursday of every month and the venue is going to keep

hosting its own concerts. A new event Cla-Zel will be hosting is Brew and View, where people can watch three to four movies for free every Thursday.

Cla-Zel is also going to keep hosting some musical events with the College of Musical Arts, Alkilani said.

“As far as the movies, we’ll be showing old and new movies, just basic movies that are avail-

able on DVD. On these nights, there won’t be music or any-thing, just movies.”

Jeremy Lublin, in charge of marketing and promoting at Headliners in Toledo, said he wants to get some bands booked to play at Howard’s Club H or Cla-Zel for March and April, but

To students and community members, the presence of snow on sidewalks may just seem like a nuisance, but to city officials, it’s an ordinance and it’s Code Enforcement Officer Jason Westgate’s job to uphold it.

It’s a city ordinance that residents have to keep the side-walk in front of their residence shoveled, Westgate said.

Code enforcement goes out 24 hours after it stops snow-ing to make sure residents are abiding by the ordinance, Westgate said.

Abagail Van Vlerah, a graduate student, said she and her roommates try to make sure they have someone to clear their sidewalks when it snows.

Even though she and her roommates make sure to clear the sidewalk in front of her house, she said she thinks the sidewalks are too snowy and dangerous in front of other houses.

East Side Neighborhood Association focuses on better communication with renters

!

By Christopher BrownReporter

In the summer of 2007, a group of residents were having a get-together when a comment was made about why it couldn’t be quiet in the city year-round.

Shortly after, the East Side Neighborhood Association was created, a group that aims to improve the quality of living for east-side residents and foster good relationships with off-cam-pus students, said Rose Hess, president of the group.

The group currently has about 160 members and is guided by four areas of focus: students, landlords, the city and the University, Hess said.

The ESNA’s main goal is to deal with students and rental proper-ties, but doesn’t mean they dis-

like students and are out to get them, she said.

At the beginning of the annual fall semester group volunteers go door-knocking and pass out a flyer that welcomes students to the neighborhood and has a list of guidelines.

The University brings a large amount of students to town, some who decide to live off-campus and rent apartments or houses and some who host large parties.

“We’re not saying you can’t have parties; we’re saying you can’t have nuisance parties,” she said.

There are no problems with most students, but every year there are a few who refuse to change and communicate, Hess said. On a couple of

occasions, the city prosecu-tor and police chief have been involved, she said.

“The majority of the kids are fine — we’re talking about a sour batch of bad apples,” Hess said.

Derrick Woodward, a junior who lives off-campus, said he understands each group’s view-point. Residents who live by the University have to expect to deal with students, but everyone has a right to live in peace, he said.

The group’s other two areas of focus are the city and the University and it has members who represent both, Hess said.

The group gives citizens a way to address issues in the commu-nity and at the same time improve

“It’s the only code that doesn’t get enforced, but should,” Van Vlerah said. “When I go for a run in the morning, I run on the street, which isn’t safe.”

W hen Westgate and other officers see unshov-eled sidewalks, they order a contractor to shov-el the sidewalk and the homeowner is billed, he said. For second or third offenses, the person is ticketed.

Though it is relevant now, snow removal isn’t the only ordinance Westgate and other Code Enforcement officers have to enforce.

“We’re always looking,” Westgate said. “A lot of it’s complaint-based.”

There are ordinances for the city of Bowling Green regulating animals, gar-bage, litter, liquor, public health and safety, trees, weeds, streets, sidewalks

and more, according to the Bowling Green Code of Ordinances.

Another ordinance offi-cers ticket for is vehicles blocking walks or road-ways, according to the Bowling Green Code of Ordinances.

Melinda Lewis, graduate student and Van Vlerah’s roommate, said her friend parked partly on the side-walk near her house once to help unpack grocer-ies and was ticketed by code enforcement almost immediately.

“It wasn’t a harsh fine, but it was almost immedi-ate,” Lewis said.

When a person is tick-eted for a code violation, they have two options, Westgate said.

They can pay it with-in 10 days or request a hearing, where the hear-ing officer determines whether they are guilty, Westgate said.

If the fine is not paid within 10 days, the per-son will be issued a court

notice and the fine will be doubled, he said. The fine is also doubled on second offenses, he said.

“Usually they learn after the first one,” Westgate said.

In order to avoid violat-ing an ordinance, students can educate themselves about what the city ordi-nances are, Westgate said.

The information is usu-ally passed out to off-campus students at the beginning of the semester, Westgate said.

Landlords often put it in leases as well, he said.

“The landlords are doing a good job and putting it in their leases,” Westgate said.

The goal of code enforce-ment is to keep the neigh-borhood family-oriented, Westgate said.

“We’re not out to give tickets all day long,” he said. “We try to work with people the best we can.”

their neighborhood, said John Zanfardino, president of city council and an ESNA member.

The ESNA a nd Zanfardino are aware of the fact they are living in a college town. But there are different degrees of toler-ance and “even the most tolerant person will have difficulties with a week-day party with 100 people on the lawn,” Zanfardino said.

Part of the interaction between the group and students is learning how to be a good neighbor and realizing they are part of a neighborhood, just like he did when he went to school here, he said.

Another city council member, Daniel Gordon, is a graduate student and

ESNA member. He said he relates to the group due to the fact that part of the reason he ran for council was to improve town-gown relations.

It’s a good way for citi-zens and ESNA members to make sure their voice is heard, Gordon said.

Dawn Denise Hubbell-Staeble, a lecturer at the University, came to Bowling Green as a student in 1980. A long-time east side resident, she said she knows of the group, but is not a member.

Hubbel-Staeble said she is not opposed to the group, but questions its approach and overall power, which is due to her own experience with the law and students.

In years past, particular-ly this school year, she has encountered things such as theft, vandalism and fight-ing, she said.

This year has been

noticeably bad for Hubbel-Staeble, who said there has been a spike in the num-ber of problems involving students after hours, some-thing that has her consider-ing options like the ESNA.

Hubbell-Staeble said she loves students and wants to like all of them, but it’s getting harder to as of late. And if nothing changes, she said that like many others who used to live on the east side, she will consider moving and even leaving Bowling Green.

IN F CUSWednesday, January 9, 2013 3THE B G NEWS INVESTIGATES CAMPUS SAFETY

Focus on guns, not ‘violentculture’

Weapons, firearms banned throughout campus5 years after Virginia Tech, campuses improve safety, communication

This In Focus on school and gun safety was set to print on Dec. 12, moved instead to spring semester. Two days later came the Sandy Hook shooting.

The massacre serves only as more reason to print, rather than the other way around.

310 million estimated guns in the land of the free, about a gun per citizen. Around 5,400 gun manufacturers in the home of the brave, according to CNN.

We cried together, mourn-ed together and most of all debated one another on guns. Specifically, whether they do or do not kill people and should or shouldn’t be used as the primary form of pro-tection in a building which teaches its pupils the letters of the alphabet.

But alas, guns themselves don’t usually kill people unless you’re an overzealous war re-enactor wielding a bayonet.

Bullets, meanwhile, do. Evidently, people kill peo-

ple with evilness alone, sans weapon or gun; like casting “avada kedavra” in Harry Potter and with the wave of a wand.

And we are told that “if someone wants to kill some-one, they will find a way.”

Indeed. But if someone wants to kill

many people, they’re hard-pressed to find an easier way than an assault rifle.

Meanwhile, campuses and schools realize there’s no time to wait. They are developing and implementing strategies to handle shootings and emer-gencies during and after they occur, and this includes our fair University.

And why shouldn’t they? Evilness exists, and evil

people don’t kill using violent games. They use guns. Guns with bullets.

This In Focus will show how institutions have responded to the threat of campus safety, guns and anything else.

Judge for yourself which tac-tics and strategies are effective and consider giving us your ideas in guest columns or a let-ter to the editor.

Or, more importantly, pro-pose your own solutions to Undergraduate Student Government, which convenes every Monday at 7:30 p.m.

By Eric LagattaAssistant Campus Editor

Alongside books and utensils, some students want to bring their guns to class.

Protection, they argue, is neces-sary given the statistics. Dozens of mass shootings in the past three decades, with at least 150 victims killed in shootings including four or more fatalities in 2012 alone.

Some groups like the Students for Concealed Carry and the National Rifle Association suggest the pos-session of concealed guns would prevent such massacres. In a press conference following the Newtown school shooting, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre argued that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

While some states have a policy allowing for lawful concealed carry,

most campuses, including the University, prohibit guns entirely.

The student handbook bans weap-ons of any kind, superseding Ohio law which allows for concealed carry with a proper permit, said Jill Carr, senior associate vice president of Student Affairs and dean of students.

“Concealed carry is not an option,” Carr said. “I’ve been here for 37 years and the policy for the code of conduct has always been the same.”

Students caught with a weapon on campus will be subject to the student code of conduct, said Associate Dean of Students Michael Ginsburg. The severity of the punishment varies, depending on the weapon where the

student was, he said.He added that a student caught

with a weapon in a residence hall would almost certainly face expul-sion from the hall and perhaps with additional penalties.

Campus police would first inter-rogate the student and University administration would investigate and decide if the student should be charged, Ginsburg said.

The student would not be crimi-nally charged if he owns a concealed carry permit, but could still face “seri-ous consequences,” Ginsburg said.

In 2007, a shooter on Virginia Tech’s campus killed 32 students, faculty and staff as well as him-self, leaving some universities throughout the country sympa-thetic and determined to prevent their own tragedies.

The massacre brought increased awareness of campus safety to the University as well as a greater need to communicate, said Jill Carr, senior associate vice president of Student Affairs and dean of students.

“I think none of us wanted to think it was possible on a college campus,” Carr said. “Overall, there is a greater awareness of what’s going on around us, peo-ple are encouraged to communi-

cate if there is potential danger.”The campus community can

worth theirGLOW?

As students walk home from class on nights where the sun sets early and the University darkens beneath a shadowed moonlight, sometimes, the only visible glow comes from protective blue

spheres.Blue lights, which have towered over campus by the dozens for gen-

erations of students, keep a watchful, inanimate eye over parking lots, bus stops and various places throughout the University.

Each emergency box features a bright red button which triggers a call to campus police. A speaker connects the person automatically with a 911 operator, said University Police Captain Tim James.

“What a lot of people associate blue lights with is sexual assaults,” said Monica Moll, University director of Public Safety. “On a college campus, this more occurs in residence halls or in housing.”

Who then uses blue lights, and for what purpose? To determine their effectiveness, campus police have been tracking

the number of calls placed through blue phones.Between May 5 and Nov. 26 of last year, campus police have respond-

ed to approximately 626 calls. Only three, however, were actually legiti-mate calls, Moll said.

Of the three, not one could be reasonably considered a “true” emer-gency. One caller requested a jump start to their car and another needed helped into a locked building.

Meanwhile, lightning storms accounted for 548 accidental miscalls or 87 percent of the total number.

While there were no emergency calls and just half a percent of calls were “real,” Moll said that the blue lights maintain significant impor-tance.

The dividing line comes between tangible and intangible — whether the lights’ value comes in the form of their demonstrated necessity or the increased sense of security among students.

“Even though they’re not really used for emergency, we don’t want to alter [students’] perception of safety,” Moll said. “I don’t see any reason to eliminate them.”

Judging the cost benefit of the lights compared to their intrinsic value may prove difficult. While a complete re-evaluation of the blue lights system will come at the end of the year, the numbers are already stir-

Welcome back for another semester and a whole new year, fellow Falcons.

I know for those of you who are considerably young-er than me, 2013 probably doesn’t mean much more than the start of another year, but for old guys like me, there is a little bit of shell-shock that goes along with every new year.

It’s because I can still remember the buzz around the threat of Y2K like it was yesterday, even though that was 13 years ago. Did I men-tion that New Years makes me feel old?

On the whole though, New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays. The focus is on celebrating the fact that everyone is celebrating which makes it unique.

I have always liked the symbolism of the slate being wiped clean as a new year rolls into place. It’s like what-ever you wanted to do, but never quite got around to doing, can be done in the new year.

Whether or not you actu-ally get around to doing that one thing is not the impor-tant part of New Years. No, the important part is the hope that goes into wanting to do that thing. The impor-tant part is the prospect of possibility.

By all accounts, 2013 should be an important year for my family. My wife, Jen, will graduate from law school in May and then I am set to finish my time here at the University in December.

These two big mile-stones for my family (which includes my 4-year-old daughter Libby, who will start kindergarten in 2013) fill me with hope and the prospect of possibility. They also fill me with fear and dread.

I have spent, since 2008 going back to school, gam-bling my potential future earnings against the amount of student loan debt I have incurred and after this year, I get my first look at how that gamble may or may not pan out when I see what kind of job market awaits me.

In the abstract, I can hon-

estly say that the education I have received in the past four and a half years is its own reward.

Before starting back to school in 2008 (I first got an associate’s degree from

Owens Community College before transferring here in 2011), the only educational degree I had ever attained was my GED, which I took the test for three days after dropping out of high school when I was 18 years old.

I had never graduated from anything that required me to wear a cap and gown until 2010. I also had no idea about the pride and feeling of self-worth that can come with higher education.

I know that many people do not need higher educa-tion for that feeling and I am sure that I could have sur-vived without ever feeling it too, but I am very proud of myself for what I have achieved and am glad to have that feeling of accom-plishment.

Education is one of those things that no one can ever take from you once you have it and that makes it worth far more than houses, cars and other material goods.

With all that being said, I have a lot of student loan debt and I need a job once school is done. However, I am reminded that it is not impossible when I see friends whom I have worked with here at The BG News going on to great jobs at local newspapers in the area. Then I am reminded that I am a Public Relations major and I will probably never be the hot new reporter on the scene. Then I relive the inner-argument over majoring in the PR or Print sequence that I had with myself a year and a half ago and wonder if the right me won that argument.

But, that’s life friends and readers. We never know if we have made the correct choice; we can only hope we have made the choice that most closely represents who we are and where we hope to go.

And if who we are and where we hope to go should happen to change later, then we will start fresh again next year.

Respond to Matthew atthenews@bgnews.com

“You think that reality is up for negotiation, that we think it’s whatever you say it is.” This quote from J.K. Rowling’s “The Casual Vacancy” is 100 percent true.

Reality is non-negotiable. Simply put, it is what it is and people must figure it out for themselves.

Movies are literally the worst place to look for when searching for “the answer to life” or what have you. Albeit, they give us immense pleasure and entertain-ment. However, they mostly hold no basis in reality.

Different movie genres elicit different expectations we, at various ages, have of reality.

No genre really gives a good representation of what life is actually like.

Disney crafted fairytales with happily-ever-after end-ings. They show princesses and princes who always find love and end up exul-tant.

Within the film, the char-acters have brief struggles that are simple to solve but by the end, find happiness once again. Life does not always allow for the pos-sibility of simple answers to tough situations.

Neither children or adults should use these as a place foundation for what life is because life is not guaran-teed to be a walk in the park.

While Disney is off in la-la land, love stories generally depict life constantly work-ing out for the best in the real world.

The characters in these stories, as with Disney, con-tinuously, without fail, find happiness and joy.

Usually the protagonist falls in love and there’s a big hullabaloo about it. Life does not always work out in this way, though.

People don’t always marry the person of his or her dreams and not all prob-lems in a relationship can be solved. Thus, love stories are not accurate in showing how romance truly is.

Another genre I have a big problem with – even though it happens to be my favorite – is sci-fi/fantasy.

It is simply impossible to imagine dragons, wizards, elves, R.O.U.S (rodents of unusual size) and the like-existing.

Logic does not reside in these films and I find it comical when people refer to movies as an excuse to go on insane adventures and have crazy ideas to what can actually exist.

The worst example are people who use sci-f i/fantasy as ‘proof’ of Big Foot or other myths. They are myths for a reason: they are not real.

Yes, I have just bashed three major genres. However, I want to say, for the purpose of entertaining

and amusing, movies do a bang-up job.

As long as one does not get the expectations of per-fection in life most mov-ies portray, there is noth-ing wrong with enjoying or watching them.

The problem lies not with the movies themselves, but in people who say things such as “But in the movies … ” These people should not be allowed to watch movies. If they want to know what life really is, they should ask real people with real experi-ences, not rely on actors on a screen to enlighten them.

Movies do show good morals and values, when used correctly. The meth-ods and mechanics may be inaccurate, but morals like “Good triumphs evil,” are mostly true.

With all that said, anyone want to go watch “Lord of the Rings” with me?

After more than a month of play-ing games in the non-conference, the BG women’s basketball team will finally start conference action when they take on Kent state this Thursday.

The Falcons will look to rebound from their first loss in more than a month when they take on the Golden Flashes Thursday. BG went 6-0 through-out the month of December, beating the likes of Northwestern out of the Big Ten and Dayton, who was ranked in the top 25.

They even looked impressive in their loss to Central Florida, where they led by 15 late in the

second half. The Knights even-tually overcame the deficit and stunned the Falcons 59-56.

The Falcons will play their first three conference games at the Stroh Center. BG is currently in the middle of a five-game home stand, which will finish up with Ball State on the 16th.

BG has fared pretty well at home (5-2), but is even better on the road, winning four out of five games. The Falcons also won their previous four games with-in the walls of the Stroh Center before the UCF loss.

As conference play begins, it should be noted that the Falcons hold a record amount of wins (362) and winning percentage (.711) than any other school in conference.

The Fa lcons w i l l look to improve t hat record when t hey welcome Kent State Thursday night.

The Golden Flashes are just 2-11 on the year and have strug-gled on the road going 0-5. On a positive note for Kent State, they beat Temple 71-62, and the Owls were one of two teams to come into the Stroh Center and win.

The bad news is that Kent State’s other win came against a lower level team in Bethune-Cookman. They have gone as far as having a seven game los-ing streak, and before beating Bethune-Cookman on January

Women’s Basketball opens MAC play against Kent State

the best is yet to come

Falcons visit Central Michigan to kick off MAC seasonBy Alex KrempaskyAssistant Sports Editor

The BG men’s basketball team is returning to the court on Wednesday to open up Mid-American Conference play at Central Michigan.

The team is also looking to break the four-game losing streak collected over winter break. They lost to Michigan State, South Florida, North Dakota and Temple.

BG’s non-conference portion of their schedule is complete and will be starting Mid-American Conference games this week with matchups at Central Michigan on Wednesday and a home game against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

The first MAC opponent, Central Michigan, is the team that ended the Falcons’ championship and NCAA tournament chances last year in the first round of the MAC Tournament. The 10-20 Chippewas came to the Stroh Center and upset BG 54-53 after taking the lead with under two minutes left in the game.

During the 2011-12 regular season, the Falcons defeated Central Michigan at home 71-58, but BG has not played in Mt. Pleasant, Mich. since February 2011 — that game ended in a 69-64 Chippewa victory

Though losing four-straight games, sophomore Richaun Holmes has been one of the most defensively-dominant players in the country. Holmes has recorded 35 blocks in the first 13 games of the season and averages 2.7 blocks per game, which ranks him No. 18 in the country in that category.

Holmes has also blocked 16.5 percent of opponent’s shots while he is on the court — this is the fourth best percentage in the coun-try behind Arizona State’s Jordan Bachynski (17.2), St. John’s’ Chris Obekpa (19.2) and Kansas’ Jeff Withey (19.7).

If Holmes continues to block opponents the way he has in the first 13 games of the season, he will be on pace to record 83 blocks dur-ing the regular season. Holmes will shatter BG’s single season blocks record by 24.

Central Michigan has two players who are in the top-20 in two categories. Senior guard Kyle Randall is No. 15 in free throw per-centage, making 90.1 percent of his free throws.

Freshman guard Chris Fowler is tied with Michigan’s Trey Burke at No. 11 for assist percentage with 41.2 percent — Ohio’s D.J. Cooper leads the nation with 52.5 percent.

BG (5-8) tip-off for MAC play at Central Michigan (7-6) is at 7 p.m. in Mt. Pleasant, Mich. The Falcons will return to the Stroh Center on Saturday when they will host the 7-6 Eastern Michigan Eagles at 6 p.m.

Jordan Crawford >> averages 15.5 points per

game and leads the team in three-pointers (26),

assists (50) and steals (22).

<< A’uston Calhoun leads team with 210 points and averages 16.2 points per game.

Chauncey Orr >> is third in scoring with 83 points and averages

16.2 points per game.

<< Richaun Holmes has 35 blocks and averages 2.7 blocks per game. He is also No. 3 in the country in block percentage, block-ing 16.5 percent of shots while he is on the floor.

By The BG News Sports Staff

Bryce Williamson scored twice, and Andrew Hammond stopped 19 of 20 shots as the BG hockey team routed Michigan, 5-1, Tuesday night at Yost Ice Arena.

The Falcons got off to a quick start, with Williamson scoring his first goal 6:10 into the first period. Marc Rodriguez beat Michigan goalie Adam Janecyk five hole on an odd-man rush, extending the lead to 2-0 just a minute and 40 seconds later.

Ryan Carpenter added a goal and an assist for BG, and Mike Sullivan had two assists and a plus-four on-ice rating.

The Falcons lost forward Brent Tate eight minutes into the first period when he was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Michigan’s Brennan Serville. BG was able to kill off the ensu-ing Michigan power play.

Janecyk was pulled after two periods of play. He gave up four goals on 19 shots. Steve Racine relieved him, stopping 12 of 13 shots in the third period.

Luke Moffatt pulled the Wolverines within one just three minutes into the second period, when he redirected a pass from Mac Bennett over Hammond’s glove hand.

Carpenter brought the lead back to two eight minutes later on a rebound goal in the crease.

Michigan was without the services of leading scorer A.J. Treais, who was suspended one

game for contact to the head Dec. 30 against Michigan State. However, the Wolverines had defensemen Jacob Trouba and Jon Merrill return to the lineup.

Trouba missed the previ-ous two weeks playing with Team USA at the World Junior Championships. Merrill had been out since fracturing ver-tebrae in an exhibition game in September.

BG outshot Michigan 32-20. It was the Falcons’ first win at Yost Ice Arena since Nov. 20, 2009, which ended a six-game losing streak at Yost.

BG is now 3-0-1 in its second half of the season. The Falcons are off this weekend, and will return to the ice Tuesday, Jan. 15 against Notre Dame at home.

Puck drop for the game is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

I’m not afraid of guns. After all, I grew up around them.

That is, as long as people follow the rules. It’s those times when people start breaking rules and endangering the safety of others that guns begin to scare me.

With the higher frequency of school shootings, it is no shock that guns are forbidden on almost all college cam-puses. The National Conference of State Legislation’s website very clearly states that Ohio is among 21 states that have banned concealed carry weapons on all college campuses.

Then why does it seem to me that we could do more to avoid horrors like Virginia Tech’s shooting?

One thing that should be changed is the 2012-2013 handbook says only that “weapons of any kind create a potential safety hazard and, therefore, the use or possession of these items is prohibited in University residences.” It was the only mention of firearms in the entire 85-page book.

There is nothing that states the right to bear arms does not extend to cam-pus property.

It seems logical that a person wouldn’t have the right to a gun on campus, especially considering Ohio law. Then again, it would also be logi-cal to assume that coffee is hot and can burn you, yet people have sued for burns from scalding coffee and won.

Therefore, the University needs to take a clear stance regarding guns on campus. In lieu of that, the administra-tion needs to take a step further and lay out punishments for the concealment or usage of guns at the University.

There may have been no major prob-lems with gun use at the University previously, but this does not mean authority figures should not attempt to prevent atrocities similar to the Columbine High School shooting from transpiring. Setting a system of rules and punishments is a very good source of deterrence, which has the potential to lower the risk of catastrophe. People do not like being faced with the pos-sibility of punishment.

If they see a direct, negative con-sequence to their actions, they will be less likely to do something to jeopardize others.

Furthermore, another rather large

blunder I’ve noticed around University grounds is that there are no signs on the doors of buildings stating fire-arms are not permitted within them. Ironically enough, there are signs on these very sets of doors stating some-thing about no smoking within the confines of the building. Why then aren’t there signs to prevent weapons? Is the risk of smoking more hazardous than the risk of a person with a gun? I think not.

It would be an extremely easy feat to put signs on doors that bluntly state that there are no firearms or weapons allowed in the buildings, offices, class-rooms, etc. of the University. I hon-estly have no idea why this issue has not been corrected. I do not feel that this error is being made because the University doesn’t care for its students; I sincerely believe since there hasn’t been any real issue yet and with state laws what they are, administrators are not making this a top priority.

I am simply asking the University to please consider revising the steps it has taken to prevent any shootings, acci-dental or on purpose, from happening.

Student handbook shouldaddress weapons ban more clearly

ring a debate over their usefulness, James said.

“Everyone’s got a cell phone in their pocket nowadays,” he said. “That’s going to be the first thing, myself included, that I’m reaching for.”

While the tall light structures are recognizable to most students, oth-ers may be unsure or skeptical of their purpose.

When a group of students were asked at a bus stop about their feelings on the blue lights, many seemed unsure how to answer. One person commented that they “thought it had something to do with safety” while admit-ting they didn’t know much else about them. Others shrugged and remarked they weren’t sure what the lights were.

Behind them, a blue light box was mounted to the wall.

Shawn Parsons, a senior techni-cian with Information Technology

Services, said the lights maintain some value in the crime they deter from their mere presence.

In his time with ITS, which includes over a decade of install-ing and repairing the blue lights, Parsons said continued mainte-nance of the lights were fairly mini-mal. The University has “gone green with the blue lights,” using lower watt light bulbs and programming them to require minimal power.

With the infrastructure already in place, the only maintenance includes periodical checks from ITS

staff or repainting them, James said.“I’ve talked with students over the

years; I’ve talked to parents over the years...everyone feels better having them,” Parsons said.

JaMarcus Williams, a junior envi-ronmental science major, agreed.

“The lights should be around,” he said. “I think it helps out [with crime.]”

They reassure even the police captain, whose morning commute allows James to see the darkened University landscape from the Poe Road overpass.

Looking out, “I bet you can see at least six, eight, maybe even more blue lights across campus. Just by seeing that, you’re like ‘it’s nice to see all those emergency poles are there,’” he said.

Their staying power may be abstract, through unmeasurable crime deterrence and the peace of mind of students, but it may be enough to keep the blue lights’ pres-ence on campus.

“This is a very safe campus. We’re proud of that and we maintain it that way,” James said.

The second the shooter walked into the room, everyone’s emotions seemed so heightened that Cassie Sines can only describe the experi-ence in one word— scary.

Luckily for Sines and the rest of the staff and residents in Falcon Heights, the shooting was just part of a drill for the Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate program put on by the University Police Department.

Sines, a Resident Advisor in Falcon Heights, worked with the University Police to offer ALICE training for stu-dents living in the residence hall.

“Learning and practicing every-thing makes you feel a lot more comfortable about those kinds of situations,” Sines said. “That’s why I brought it to my hall.”

Part of the training consists of information sessions, and the other consists of the drill, which Sines, staff and residents went through twice. Mike Campbell, who helps train students and RAs in the ALICE program, goes through two differ-ent reaction scenarios in during the active shooter drill.

During the first run, residents and staff are told to essentially “do noth-ing” or hide, which would constitute a lockdown. The next time, Campbell asks participants to try a more active approach in taking action against the shooter, or to avoid them entirely.

“Most people are familiar with lockdown, but where ALICE expounds upon lockdown is to ask ‘is that always your best way to sur-vive a situation like that?’” Campbell said. “We don’t want you to think that that’s your only option.”

While the University has several safety precautions in place, includ-ing a 24-hour on-campus police department, AlertBG and the blue lights, students’ and staff’s immedi-ate actions are sometimes the most crucial in an active shooter situation, Campbell said.

“Our response time is going to be fairly quick, but where ALICE comes in is ‘what are you going to do for that minute or two minutes before officers arrive?’” Campbell said. “If you’re ever in that situation, those one or two minutes is going to seem like a lifetime.”

In intense situations like mass shootings, people to tend to revert to do what they’ve been trained to do, which is one reason why Campbell said he considers ALICE to be a valu-able preparation method.

Although Campbell doesn’t believe that ALICE can necessarily prevent instances such as the Virginia Tech massacre, or the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, he does think it can better prepare RAs and students like Sines.

“It’s really just trying to give people more to think about in the hopes that it will increase their survivability,” Campbell said.

When ALICE training started at the University two years ago, admin-istrators in the Office of Residence Life immediately started training RAs during their August training ses-sion, said Tim Shaal, senior associate

director of Residence Life.“We thought it made sense to do it

with the RAs since it’s a larger group of student leaders and considering the nature of their work on campus,” Shaal said.

Shaal believes that programs like ALICE better prepares residents and students for an active shooter situa-tion on campus.

Residence Life plans to continue including ALICE training in its annu-al RA training every August, he said.

Like Shaal and Campbell, Sines believes she and her residents are better off in the event that a scenario similar to the one in the ALICE drill were actually to occur on campus.

“You can never avoid something like that, but you can be prepared for it,” Sines said. “I definitely feel more like I could walk out of a situation like that alive because of ALICE.”

Action, not waiting, stressed in emergencies

valid permit.The University of Colorado Boulder

changed its policy this past semes-ter, after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in favor of a lawsuit brought by Students for Concealed Carry.

The SCC sued UCB this past March to make the school’s policy consistent with state law, which allowed for con-cealed carry, said Ryan Huff, spokes-person for the Colorado University Police Department.

Guns are allowed almost anywhere on campus, even classrooms, while remaining banned in most residence halls and ticketed sporting events and concerts.

“We’ve not had any incidents where someone’s fired a gun ... this tells me that people who have those permits and want to carry on campus are edu-cated,” Huff told The BG News in late November.

Just weeks prior, two people were injured when a gun accidentally fired at University of Colorado’s medical campus in Denver. The gun belonged to a staff member with a concealed carry permit, the Boulder newspaper Daily Camera reported.

“There are permit holders who think it’s their right to carry it and there are others who don’t want any-one to have guns,” he said. “As a police department, we’re not taking one side or the other.”

This issue is something Carr said the University is monitoring very closely to see if it becomes a trend.

A trend, she argues, which displays “a complete contradiction” to a uni-versity’s purpose.

“I think that this is an educative

institution and part of our mission is to educate students to resolve conflicts in a manner that does not involve vio-lence,” she said. “We should empha-size peaceful, appropriate ways of managing conflict.”

Students argue for, againstconcealed carry

Sophomore Morgan Holliger, sec-retary for College Democrats, said members may disagree on gun rights but most agree that concealed guns should be prohibited on campus.

“I just think that it would make me personally nervous that people could [legally] carry something that could kill me,” Holliger said. “I think it’s kind of terrifying.”

Holliger said crime prevention should be the responsibility of law enforcement professionals instead of college students without training and experience.

“On a college campus, I think that’s the recipe for confusion and disaster,” she said.

Victor Layton, a junior, a gun-owner and member of the NRA, plans to get his concealed carry permit next semester and argues the Ohio permit should apply to the University as well.

Concealed carry would make cam-pus safer and prevent school shoot-ings, Layton said, with students able to protect themselves when police weren’t around.

“It’s your right as an American,” Layton said. “It’s the second amendment; it’s not like it’s the fifth or sixth. The Founding Fathers thought this was an important amendment.”

ulty and students can also com-municate to University officials using phones installed in every classroom on campus, Carr said.

In the wake of events like the Virginia Tech shooting, cam-pus security was also affected, Carr said.

“I think whenever those situ-ations occur it is a good time to re-examine those policies,” Ginsburg said. “Before Virginia Tech, it was sort of a containment philosophy.”

Before, when there was the threat of a shooter, the conven-tional response was to huddle in place and wait, Ginsburg said. Since Virginia Tech, this philoso-phy has changed and members of the campus community are now trained in a program called ALICE.

ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, was first utilized at the University about a year and a half ago, according to an email from Monica Moll, director of Public Safety.

The department of Public Safety gives ALICE presenta-tions to the campus commu-nity to teach people what their

response options are when a vio-lent intruder enters the building and they are waiting on police to arrive, Moll said.

While the students, fac-ulty and staff learn ALICE, the department also has a response plan for active shooter incidents, Moll said.

“Essentially the first thing we do is have the officers on the shift respond to the location of the incident. They have been trained to immediately intervene, seek out the shooter and eliminate the threat,” Moll said. “In the meantime, the dispatcher will be sending out an AlertBG message to notify the campus community and the dispatcher will also be calling for assistance from the Bowling Green city police, the Wood County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and EMS.”

Although the department of Public Safety has its own policies and plans in place to deal with an active shooter situation, Moll said community members also make a difference when it comes to security.

“The biggest impact on secu-rity comes from community members having an increased awareness of personal safety and potential problem behav-ior and better reporting when

they notice something con-cerning,” Moll said. “That is what our training programs for the community are designed to accomplish.”

Usually after an incident like the shooting at Virginia Tech, some people become very aware, Moll said.

“Calls about suspicious people may increase for a short period, but that usually fades as time goes on and settles into a more vigilant and aware, but mea-sured response to odd or con-cerning behavior,” Moll said.

After the shooting, some peo-ple at the University became more suspicious, Ginsburg said.

“I don’t think that’s the worst thing in the world,” he said. “It’s better to report something and it turn out to be nothing. Reporting is what determines how safe a campus is going to be.”

While past shootings at other university campuses have sparked discussion about and changed communication and security at the University, Moll believes it probably had a similar affect on every campus.

The Virginia Tech shooting may have had an effect on every cam-pus’ security, Carr said.

“In a number of ways, it certain-ly brought to light a whole level of violence and danger,” Carr said.

2nd, they had lost their previous four.

The Flashes are a one-man wrecking crew with Tamzin Barroilhet, who leads the team in three dif-ferent offensive categories. She is first on the team with 10.4 points per game, 6.7 boards per game and is also

first in steals.As for the Falcons, look

for them to maintain a well-balanced attack and to get everyone involved. BG has three players aver-aging over 9 points per game and is led by senior Chrissy Steffen who shoots a team best 46.4 percent from the floor.

The Falcons as a team are shooting 37.8 percent from the field and are hold-

ing teams below 30 percent from three point land. BG also puts up a dominant front line and have won the rebounding battle in 11 of its first 13 matches.

The game with Kent State is set to tip at 7 p.m. After Kent State the Falcons will then host rival Toledo on Sunday in a game that can be seen on SportsTime Ohio and streamed on ESPN3.
