When freshman Cameron Moore takes Tylenol for his headaches, he often

takes more pills than the label suggests.

“Everyone always takes more [than the recommended dosage],” he said.

The recommended dosage of acetaminophen, according to the FDA, is 3,250 milligrams a day.

“That’s about 10 regular-strength pills a day,” said Faith Yingling, director of Wellness.

Taking more than the recom-mended dose of acetaminophen can lead to many problems.

“A large dosage of acetamino-phen can lead to problems of the liver,” Yingling said.

Students filled Olscamp 101 early Saturday morning to learn more about issues within the black com-munity.

The 15th Annual Black Issues Conference took place this past Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sheila Brown, co-chair of the conference and associate direc-tor of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, was happy about how many students were at

the event. “I feel great about the turnout this

year,” Brown said. “The past couple of years, we’ve had inclement weath-er and students were more willing to brave the elements [this year].”

Some students were attending the event for the first time. Senior Turea Moore attended the conference not knowing what to expect.

“My favorite part of the conference was the sessions,” Moore said. “Even though it may sound cliché, they really covered things that are real issues today.”

Other students have previously attended the conference and like the changes that have been made.

“The one last year was based more so on leadership,” senior Jamal Jackson said. ”This one is more about building yourself and growing as a community.”

The conference included differ-ent sessions surrounding discus-sions attendees could participate in. Jeff Jackson, assistant vice president for Enrollment and Management, director at the Career Center and also co-chair of the conference, lead the session, “Bringing the Hood to Campus.”

“A lot of these kids are first-genera-tion college students,” Jeff said. “The session is about letting them know ‘you can stand on my shoulders;’ it’s all about them being successful.”

The goal of the sessions were to promote interaction between ses-sion leaders and other attendees, while encouraging students to step

Greek housing, current renovations to be finished between 2016-2018By Amber Petkosek

Social Media Editor

Since the doors of Centennial and Falcon Heights opened in Fall 2011, there are currently no plans in the near future for a new traditional resi-dence hall to be built.

Sarah Waters, director of Residence Life, said there has been talk about what will happen next, but no formal decision has been made.

Waters sa id t he University is currently

focusing on the academic buildings and getting the traditional buildings and new business building into the construction phase.

The next project that will be happening housing-wise is the new Greek vil-lage, Waters said.

“The demolition will be starting this summer and into the fall of 2014,” she said. “The new houses will be built on the site of Conklin East and West and there are scheduled to be about 400 total students living there.”

Junior Tori Heasley lives in the Greek houses at Conklin and she said she has mixed opinions on the demolition.

“We have a lot of con-cerns being Greek, but we’re really excited as well,” she said.

She said if the renova-tions are similar to how Conklin was redone she thinks the University is on a good path.

“I liked Conklin and how

it was renovated because it used to be offices,” Heasley said.

When it comes to mak-ing the decision of what will happen next it is a collaborative effort, said Steve Krakoff, vice presi-dent of Capital Planning and Campus Operations.

Leaders of Student Affairs and Residence Life come together with Finance, Administration and Capital Planning in order to plan new renova-tions before sending them to the Board of Trustees

for approval, Krakoff said.Waters said a lot of the

decision is based on a bal-ancing act between priorities and the overall University debt and debt capacity.

Waters and Krakoff both agree it is difficult to determine when the next traditional residence hall will be built.

“We would be looking at no earlier than 2016,” Waters said. “Likely it would be somewhere between 2016 and 2018 would be the next phase planned of are we going to build more or are we going to have another significant capital invest-ment in another one of

the buildings to gut it and renovate it in some nature?”

Krakoff said there is really no way to tell a spe-cific time frame, but part of the decision is based on the enrollment of the University.

Waters said the execu-tion of the Master Plan is moving at a nice pace.

“The University with the campus Master Plan is committed to constant-ly improving the facili-ties and environment. The residence halls are a part of that without ques-tion, but the focus is on the academic buildings,” Waters said.

needing a liver transplant and liver failure. Taking too much acetaminophen can also lead to death, said Mary Jon Ludy, assistant professor in the Dietetics and Family and Consumer Sciences Department.

Acetaminophen is com-monly found in Tylenol and generic pain reliev-ers and is used as a pain reliever and fever reducer, Yingling said.

The recommended dos-age of Tylenol is two pills every six hours.

Acetaminophen is not only found in Tylenol but also in NyQuil, Alka-

Seltzer Plus, Theraflu and Vicodin, Yingling said.

“You may be taking these products but you might not realize that there is acetaminophen in it,” Yingling said.

The reason that acet-aminophen is “hidden” in other medicines is so the other medicines work faster, Ludy said.

People who overdose on acetaminophen may expe-rience “nausea, vomiting [and] diarrhea,” Ludy said.

“I don’t know if it is com-mon anymore but when I was a student there was always the thing where ‘I will take a Tylenol before I go out drinking,’” Ludy said.

For student Ma x

Messinger, taking a Tylenol before a night of drinking is the norm.

“I take it only to not have a bender,” Messinger said.

Even though people may take Tylenol before a night of drinking, it can actually be more toxic than just drinking.

“[The] combination of alcohol and acetamino-phen can make the acet-aminophen toxic in lower doses,” Ludy said.

Just like if people mix aceta minophen w it h something else, mixing two different pills that have acetaminophen is just as toxic.

“Med icat ions play against each other when they both have acetamin-ophen,” Ludy said.

If students aren’t sure how much acetamino-phen their medications contain, they can always check the label or talk to a pharmacist.

“That’s why it’s really important to talk to your health care provider about these things,” Yingling said.

outside of their comfort zone, Brown said.

“I was happy with the engagement during the ses-sions,” Jeff said. “I was happy that a lot of upperclass-men were providing advice to freshmen, and that the freshmen even expressed disappointment that there weren’t more of them there.”

The conference was high-ly student-centered. Many of the sessions were student-produced and the Student Planning Committee played a large role in putting the event together and making sure it ran smoothly.

“I just want to give kudos to the student planning committee,” Brown said. “I know I’m co-chair, but they put so much work into this I don’t know how we would have done it without them.”

Senator Nina Turner was one of the keynote speakers

at the event, as well as Paul James, director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Duke University.

Awards were presented to James Taylor, the first direc-tor of Multicultural Affairs at the University, as well as two students and one orga-nization. Three students also won gift cards to the University’s bookstore.

The positive reactions from the students, and the questions that she received about getting involved in next year’s conference reas-sured Brown that the event served its purpose.

“Those who were here learned something new, were challenged and took away valuable informa-tion about themselves,” Brown said.

Jeff believes the confer-ence taught students a valu-able lesson.

“This world takes no pris-oners,” Jeff said. “If you put nothing into it, you won’t get anything out of it.”

Women’s basketball triumphs inrivalry game against Rockets

Michigan Tech sweeps Falcons in weekend series

Toledo takes BG down to wire, but Falcons claim win in Battle of I-75 Hockey loses Friday, Saturday to Huskies

By Tara JonesAssistant Sports Editor

The BG women’s basketball team defeated the University of Toledo in true rivalry fashion.

The Falcons came out of the Battle of I-75 victorious in a fight to the finish. BG defeated the Rockets by a score of 66-59 Sunday afternoon. The Falcons now sit at an overall record of 18-3 and a Mid-American Conference record of 8-1.

The first half was back and forth between the two teams as they traded the lead a total of seven times in the half, including three ties. Despite the back and forth action, the score was just 21-20 going into the half, with BG having the advantage. The Falcons shot just 24.1 percent from the field, going 7-of-29. The Rockets went slightly better at 30.8 percent, making 8-of-26.

The Falcons heated up from both the three-point line and the free-throw line in the sec-ond half. Despite BG’s increase in offense, the Rockets still kept

fighting for the lead. At the 7:12 mark, redshirt sophomore Erica Donovan hit a three for her first points of the afternoon to tie the score at 40 and shift momentum to the Falcons. Junior Deborah Hoekstra sank a triple from behind the arc to give BG the lead. Then, redshirt senior Alexis Rogers took a charge on the other end, immediately followed by another Hoekstra three-pointer to give the Falcons the lead for good.

BG reached its largest lead of 10 points from the free-throw line in the closing minutes. Senior Jillian Halfhill finished 9-for-9 from the charity stripe, including four straight that gave BG the 10 point lead.

Rogers led all scorers with a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds on the night. Hoekstra finished with 12 points after a 4-of-7 attempt from behind the arc. Halfhill finished with 11, 9 of which came from the free-throw line.

Rogers said she expected the intensity Toledo came out with

because the team was defending its home court in a rivalry game. She said she is happy to come out with her first win against Toledo in her last year at BG

“I don’t think we ever come out wanting to prove anything more just because we’re playing, you know, a rivalry game,” Rogers said. “We just wanted to come out and play within ourselves and play BG basketball, and that’s what we come out to prove every game.”

Head coach Jennifer Roos said she knew the match would come down to the wire, and she was hoping her team would make foul shots the way they did at the end.

“I knew that the effort that we were going to get today from Toledo would be strong,” Roos said. “We knew exactly what we were going to get today, and as I told the team … you’re naive if you didn’t expect this type of effort from Toledo.”

The Falcons will return to the Stroh Center next week as they welcome Western Michigan on Feb. 5. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

BG hockey lost to the Michigan Tech Huskies on Friday and Saturday night at BG.

On Friday night, BG lost 5-2. The Falcons received goals from Brent Tate and Ralfs Freibergs, while goaltenders Tomas Sholl and Tommy Burke combined for 23 saves on the night.

The Michigan Tech Huskies scored the first four goals of the game, scoring a power-play goal and three full strength goals during the first and sec-ond period. Tate’s ninth goal of the season gave BG their first goal of the game, however Michigan Tech scored again before the end of the second period.

BG defensema n Ra lfs Freibergs scored the only goal in the third period with a pow-er-play goal at the 18:13 mark.

“I’m very disappointed. To play that poorly at home at this time of the year, there’s no excuse for that,” said BG head

coach Chris Bergeron. On Saturday night, BG lost

5-4 in overtime. Goaltender Burke made 27 saves on the night. BG received goals from forwards Mark Cooper, Kevin Dufour, and a career-best two goals from Matt Pohlkamp. It was the first time Pohlkamp scored two goals in a game, and was his first multi-point game in his Falcon career.

Michigan Tech went 2-for-7 on the power play, including the game-winning goal in over-time. Meanwhile, the Falcons went 0-for-6 on the power play for the night.

Ben Murphy’s team leading 13th goal opened up the scoring for the Falcons. Kevin Dufour scored later in the first period to give the Falcons a 2-0 lead. In the second period, Pohlkamp’s first goal on the night gave the Falcons a 3-1 advantage.

Michigan Tech scored the next two goals to tie the game at 3-3 with 18 minutes remaining in

DOUBLE TEAMED

BG Football star Shaun Joplin walks on to basketball team

By Brett CreamerAssistant Sports Editor

Less than two months ago, Shaun Joplin was jumping for joy at Ford Field after Bowling Green defeated Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Championship game.

Joplin just finished his senior season playing wide receiver for the Falcons. The 6’2”, 209 pound wide receiver had a career-high in receptions and yards during the 2013 season, including a career high 149 receiving yards and a go ahead touchdown against Buffalo to help send the Falcons into the MAC Championship.

Now, Joplin has switched uniforms and joined the Bowling Green men’s basketball team as of early January.

“It is a lot different, five years off of basketball,” Joplin said. “But it’s fun and I am staying in the gym late and just practicing nonstop to get back in the f low of things.”

Joplin lettered in football, track and basketball while attending Southview High School in Sylvania, Ohio. Ever since the football season ended, Joplin said he has been interested in playing basketball at a collegiate level.

“I was getting recruited in high school, and I knew I could still play,” he said. Senior Ryan Hetrick said he remembers Joplin’s high school basketball

days. “I remember him playing against Bowling Green High School catching

an alley-oop on the first play of the game; I feel that this is a great spot for him,” Hetrick said.

Joplin has been around basketball since his early days. His father, Stanley, played and coached at the University of Toledo. Joplin has known basketball coach Louis Orr for a while and said he played against Orr’s son Chauncey Orr in high school.

“He is a high-character young man who gives us an athletic strong body and has a strong understanding of the game,” Orr said of Joplin.

While Joplin is still learning the ropes of the team, he helps by run-ning scout team and tries to help his teammates every day during prac-tice.

“Joplin is a more reserved player with a tough mindset. He knows what has to be done to win and how to contribute to success,” sophomore bas-ketball walk-on Avery Turner said. “He is a team player that cares more about the success of the team rather than himself.”

Joplin still has extreme interests in playing football at the next level, no matter what it takes.

“I will do whatever I can to help me, I just want to be able to play foot-ball still,” Joplin said.

Joplin’s favorite memory as a Falcon was winning the MAC Championship.

“It was our first Championship since 1992; it was a huge accomplish-ment for us this year,” he said.

Joplin’s career football numbers for the Falcons include of 116 receptions for 1,850 yards, and eight touchdowns. He now looks to break into the basketball statistics.

Steven M. Meeks II was found guilty this past week for the rape of two girls, one a 14-year-old and the other a 19-year-old.

After a combined trial, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Reading this article, espe-cially since it happened in my hometown of Canton, I was appalled. However, it was not until I saw a stream of com-ments on Facebook that I began to address an even greater issue.

The comments made by some of my former classmates defend Meeks, point] blame on the victims and are disturbing.

One guy posted, “Girls do this … all the time. Some girls are attention-whores. They are just as guilty as him, so yeah, they don’t care about ruining someone’s life if it makes them

a social butterfly.”This comment received five

likes and instantly my stom-ach turned.

I assumed the definition of consent was clear, but after reading the remarks by my peers, it is evident that it is not.

The definition of con-sent is a voluntary, positive agreement between two participants, according to Northwestern University’s Women’s Center.

Let’s simplify this: if some-one says “no” once, it’s rape. If alcohol or drugs impair some-one and their inability to give consent, it’s rape.

It is never anyone’s fault that they are a victim of rape. That ignorance is a reason many rapes go unreported, and why we’re still fighting for equality today.

It took a lot of courage for the victims to come forth, yet they are being ridiculed and will live with the trauma for the rest of their lives.

Assistant Professor in the sociology department

Danielle Kuhl said victim-blaming from the community and peers will result in more psychological effects for the victim.

Not only were the victims put to blame, the courts and the female population were as well.

One student said, “If you’re a dude, you’re screwed. We do not live in an equal world. Guys are second-class citizens.”

Another comment said, “There is a golden egg in the legal system ... and it is a woman.”

Kuhl said that in rape cases, the legal system is more in favor of the offender, which is most likely a male, because of the numbers of rapes that go unreported.

According to Rape, Abuse and the Incest National Network, 60 percent of sexual assaults go unreported, nine out of every 10 rapes involve a female victim and 97 per-cent of rapists will never spend time in jail.

Besides these statistics, the individuals are defending a rapist, excusing his actions and saying women “get away with everything.”

Quickly this thread became an issue of equality and sex-ism and even more quickly, I became outraged.

I was told “these are just opinions. Nobody is right here, nobody is wrong.”

If we lived by this state-ment now, we would still have slaves, child abuse would sim-ply be a matter of parenting and women would not have the right to vote.

If no one ever spoke up about their opinions or beliefs and simply ‘turned the other cheek,’ nothing in society would ever get accomplished. Nothing would ever change or improve.

Congratulations on putting us three steps behind gaining equality.

Respond to Ashley atthenews@bgnews.com

With 52 percent of American citizens backing laws to legal-ize gay marriage throughout the US, the numbers and actions are not equaling up.

The outing and bullying of the LGBTQ community is a strong problem, which needs to be addressed — the Gallup poll number is showing a dif-ferent reaction.

There is a reason why the people who have not outed themselves haven’t done so.

These reasons, ranging from just not being comfort-able with announcing their sexuality or letting people know, also touch on fears of those who are publicly a part of the community.

The ramifications of an unexpected outing can lead to the loss of a job, rejection from family members and bullying.

People have to be aware that outing a member of the community can put them way out of their comfort zone and leave a devastating mark on their lives.

Their lives are possibly in danger when confronted with being outed before they’re ready to be. Coming to terms and feeling comfortable with it is one step that needs to be taken.

Outing someone before they’re ready causes a lot of

damage. Teenagers who are outed face bullying found in high schools; but taken to a different level because of their sexuality.

In some cases, the ones who have been outed lose their lives to the hands by others, or take their own lives after not being able to handle the bullying and threats from fellow classmates.

And sometimes, it’s not bullying, but not understand-ing their actions. Some just don’t understand the prob-lem with outing an individual who wasn’t ready for it.

While America might be accepting of members of the LGBTQ community, their actions haven’t supported the words.

As one of my instructors likes to say about moments where Americans tend to take a step back from the prog-ress that had seemingly been made, “Hello, isn’t this 2014?”

The thought is that since we’ve taken so many steps forward, we should have been able to keep the progress going. Be willing to accept people for who they are— let them explain who they are and their stories.

We’re living during a major social step in American history, based on letting people express who they are, regardless of whether they are comfortable with their sexuality or not.

Rape not victim’s fault, issue of sexism, equality

Tuesday marked President Barak Obama’s sixth State of the Union address.

As usual, there were the advocates and critics who praised or chastised the presi-dent for laying out his agenda for the year ahead and reflect-ing on recent events.

One of the highly dis-cussed topics was Obama’s proposal of a myRA account, which help individuals save for retirement by investing in government bonds.

While the yield on a retire-ment account is low, it’s safe and a very attractive option to many Americans who aren’t comfortable investing in the stock market.

The topic of saving money is one of great importance to the nation, especially after the financial crisis and reces-sion, which left many home-owners foreclosing on their homes with nothing more than a few weeks pay in their bank accounts.

Yet even after such a steep economic downturn, Americans still flood online retailers and shopping malls on holidays like Thanksgiving just to spend what little money they’ve managed to put aside.

The general argument as to why Americans spend

frivolously is that few have learned the value of com-pound investing, even fewer have the patience to wait for the returns that would fuel their retirement or fund their cash safety net.

The administration sees the need to educate individu-als with the myRA as well as highlights the fact the aver-age American doesn’t save to begin with, a small step in the right direction.

If a TV at BestBuy is 10 percent off, it’s seen as bet-ter investment than a 2.7 per-cent 10 year yield on treasury securities.

After all, what’s not to love about seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers play the halftime show on a 60 inch HDTV?

In reality, this perception is a mental abnormality that is the result of excess consum-erism in our society.

To combat this behav-ior, Americans shouldn’t be forced to save, but merely made aware of the conse-quences of not saving.

The college years represent a prime opportunity for young savers to learn about the beau-ty of compound investing, as well as how to create a finan-cially balanced lifestyle.

After all, once your jour-ney on campus comes to an end, you may feel that student loans will be the last form of debt you’ll ever want to have.

More Falconsqualify for MAC championship

The BG Falcon track and field team added three more players into the Mid-American Conference championship this past Friday. The three players to qualify were freshman Makenzie Wheat, senior Tiera Perrine and senior Jeanette Pettigrew.

Wheat set a personal best at the shot put event by earning a distance 47’10”. That easily sur-passed MAC’s qualifying marks and helped her place seventh out of 13 competitors.

Perrine managed to qualify by throwing 59.11.75 in the weight throw. This passed her previous record by three feet and placed her in eighth place.

Finally, in the 200 meter dash Pettigrew came in first with a time of 25.11 seconds. When her time got converted it became 24.73 seconds, which is five milliseconds ahead of the MAC standard of 24.78.

Junior Natalie Sommerville, along with Pettigrew, managed to come first in their event by winning the 600 with a score of 1:38:45.

As a whole, the Falcons have achieved the MAC qualifiers eight times, a remarkable improvement compared to this past year, when they qualified once.

The Falcons will travel to Akron for the Akron Invitational event Friday and Saturday.

SPORTSbrief

regulation. However, the Falcons took the lead again nine seconds later with Pohlkamp’s sec-ond goal of the game. The Huskies were able to score the final two goals of the game, including the game-winning goal 1:22 into overtime. The game saw two ties and two lead changes.

“They were working harder than us,” said Pohlkamp. “They were

forechecking, they were moving their feet and they were creating scoring chances. We didn’t play good enough defense to stop a couple of goals.”

The loss moves BG’s record to 13-12-5 and 10-9-3 in the WCHA. The win moves Michigan Tech’s record to 10-14-6 overall and a 8-8-4 record in conference play.

The Falcons will face t he A laska-A nchorage Seawolves on Feb. 14-15 in Anchorage, Alaska. The puck is scheduled to drop at 7:07 p.m. [Alaska time] on both nights.

Bowling Green defeated Buffalo 74-68 on the Super Bowl Sunday matinee at the Stroh Center.

A large part of the victory was due to point guard Jehvon Clarke who was one assist away from a triple-double. Clarke had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists on the day. This was also Clarke’s first career dou-ble-double.

Buffalo came out of the gates extremely hot from three-point range, including Will Regan who hit three consecutive three pointers within the first five minutes that gave Buffalo an early 11-4 lead.

Regan had 17 points in the game, which was a Buffalo team high. Power forward Javon McCrea who leads Buffalo with 17.7 points per game was held under his sea-son average with 14 points due to physical play down low by Cameron Black, Richaun Holmes and Josh Gomez who played extended minutes.

“He doesn’t stop the work, and I challenge him every day. We needed him, and he did a good job for us,” said coach Louis Orr.

With just less than 10 sec-onds to go until halftime, Holmes collected a defensive rebound who then passed to Clarke on the outlet pass where he went coast to coast and made a layup just before time expired. Although the Falcons played well in the first half, they still trailed the Bulls going into halftime 37-35.

There was a high amount of tension and emotion in this game, and this was not only shown on the court, but on the

foul sheet as well. 46 total fouls were called, and there were a total of 51 total free throw attempts in the game.

This game also featured three technical fouls. One came at a crucial point in the game when there was just over three minutes of play left and the Bulls led 66-64. The tech-nical came when McCrea was called for a blocking foul, which was his fifth of the game, and Buffalo coach Bobby Hurley was called for a technical foul on the sidelines. Spencer Parker made both technical free throws, on his way to a game and career high 23 points.

Parker played an asser-tive game, and kept attacking the basket. He was 10-14 from the line, and also had seven rebounds.

“Spencer is an attack guy, and is one of our most aggres-sive guys on the court,” said Orr after the game.

After the technical free throws and the foul shots, the Falcons led 67-66 with 2:28 left to play. The Falcons closed the door on the Bulls when guard JD Tisdale collected a missed three point-attempt and then passed the ball to Clarke who saw a wide-open Parker down court for an easy layup to make the score 72-66 with just under 30 seconds to play.

The Falcons will travel to Toledo Wednesday night at 7 p.m. to play against the Rockets.

“You have to keep playing and persevere, compete at a high level; you can’t take plays off, and you have to keep grind-ing,” Orr said.

Bowling Green is now 4-4 in MAC play this season and 10-11 on the season.
