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.
Another Campus acappella group
that was founded five years ago
called Not Yet Perfect performed
Shut Up and Dance by Walk to Moon
and Cheerleader by OMI.
Other acts included Amy Reeves
(singing and ukulele), Ryder Gently
and Preston Cider (lip synching
a Pitch Perfect compilation), Ben
Phillips (jump roping), Sara Gardner
(singing and guitar) and Joseph
Tansey (singing).

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
with which we are interested, or in turn
become more resolved in our conclusions.
Its a beautiful thing, and it’s endless fun.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.”
