Students often change religions

Religious affiliations often change after students go to college

By Tobias FlemmingReporter

A persistent stereotype that seems to exist for college stu-dents is that religion appears to have less of a hold and influ-ence on younger people.

Dr. Madeline Duntley, asso-ciate professor of sociology, said Americans are switching to religious groups that they weren’t raised in more than ever before.

“Groups that grow are sim-ply either attracting or retain-ing more members than they

lose,” she said. “The challenge is to keep their youth by fos-tering interest in and loyal to their traditions, and to attract new members to off-set loss through attrition or religious switching.”

Also, religious groups have been starting to adapt to more progressive ideas recently to attract new members and to keep younger people interested in religion.

Organization encourages students to participate in bucket list

By Jon StinchcombReporter

While no one seems to know for sure where the “BGSU Bucket List” originated, yourFellowFalcon [yFF] has made it their own.

Like any bucket list, but with a college twist, partici-pating students are tasked with completing every item throughout their four years on campus before they graduate.

“This ‘Bucket List’ has existed for a long time,” said Brandi Barhite, assistant director of the Student Enrollment Communication Center. “We don’t know who originally put it together.”

“However, [yFF] took it and updated it a bit and have

For students looking for some-thing to do on their day off in January, the University is host-ing the seventh annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Challenge on Jan. 19.

Each Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the University holds the ser-vice challenge in Bowling Green and surrounding areas and gives students and others a chance to get involved and give back to the community.

“A lot of the service activities include going to a non-profit organization and doing work there that the staff doesn’t really

have the capacity to do on a nor-mal day,” said Maddi Georgoff, a Civic Action Leader in the Office of Service Learning.

Last year there were more than 800 students who par-ticipated in the event and cur-

RELIGIONFrom Page 1on campus since June of this year. She said prior to attending church at the University she had never even picked up a Bible.

“I was looking for something I could be part of and everyone was really welcoming here,” she said. “When you are new in a traditional church within a commu-nity you are oftentimes like the ugly ducking in the background, not really fitting in.”

Duntley said a recent trend found in surveys of young adults is that the survey takers mark the “unaffiliated” box.

“25 percent of young adults aged 18-29, the ‘millen-nial’ generation, claim no connection to a particular religious group or denomination,” she said. “But this does not mean they are not religious. Only 3 percent of these young adults are atheist.”

Student Ryan Carter said his lack of belief in God started in 2012 and not until recently he was able to speak openly about his atheism.

“I discontinued my belief in Christianity because I began to question and critically analyze my belief system,” he said. ”I found many contradictory and con-flicting facts against what I believed in. This led me to realize I could no longer justify my beliefs without any good reason.”

Carter said even without believing in God he found other ways to get the warm and fuzzy feeling that his faith used to give him.

“Since letting go of religion I have been overwhelmed by the beauty and poetry that is science,” he said. “I get lost in the amazing feats our species has accomplished through scientific endeavor to better understand our-selves and our place in this universe.”

Howard said that in Bowling Green it seems like there is a strong push for religion and a lot more students attend church here compared to her hometown of Dayton. She added that the claim about religion hav-ing less of a hold on people does not seem to be true for the city.

A late Loyola Marymount rally crowned the Lions champions of the DoubleTree LA Westside Thanksgiving Classic against the Falcons 51-48.

The Falcons made their way into the championship round Saturday with a 62-54 win against UC Irvine the day prior.

In the second half, the Falcons had as high as a 27-point lead against UC Irvine, but the Anteaters pulled within single digits. Building that significant of a lead allowed head coach Jennifer Roos to rest some of her starters in case the team was to make it to the championship round the next day. This allowed some valuable minutes for the bench players.

“We were able to open up a good lead in the second half and were able to play eight to 10 min-utes with five freshmen on the court today,” said Roos. “We got some good execution from that group, and then we just ran out of

gas, and they hit a couple three-pointers to cut into that lead. But overall we had good balance.”

Redshirt junior Erica Donovan led the Falcons with a double-double of game-highs 13 points and 12 rebounds. Freshman Rachel Myers also recorded a double-digit performance with 10 points for the Falcons.

“We had every kid except one score, which is a huge positive, and we got to the foul line and made some shots,” Roos said. “When three-point shots weren’t falling, we were able to turn the corner and get to the rim, and either make shots or draw fouls and get to the line.”

The Falcons continued their success into the championship round against host Loyola until they encountered a shooting lull early in the second half. However, the Falcons answered with a 12-point run to take a 39-29 lead with 12 minutes remaining.

Falcons fall to Ball State on Senior Day,final game before MAC Championship

By Cameron Teague RobinsonEditor-in-Chief

Senior day was supposed to be about honoring the 17 seniors on the roster. Instead, all that was talked about was the Falcons squandering their 21-7 first quar-ter lead.

“I feel bad for all of the seniors,” said defensive lineman Charlie Walker. “Being a senior, I feel like I didn’t help get the job done.”

The Falcons scored 21 in their first six plays of the game. One coming off of a 75-yard Travis Greene touchdown run to start the game, a 96-yard kick return by freshman Clint Stephens and then a two-yard rush by Fred Coppet.

But from then on the Falcons struggled to do anything game-changing on either side of the ball, as they were outscored 34-3 in the final three quarters, on their way to a 42-24 loss.

“This wasn’t an offense,

defense or special teams thing,” said head coach Dino Babers. “When a team goes out there and plays like that the head coach has to take responsibility for it. This is on me and I will get it fixed.”

After Coppet’s touchdown run, the Falcons’ recent offensive inconsistency came back to hurt them again. Offensive lineman Logan Dietz said that the offense just didn’t execute.

“They started switching up their defensive schemes,” Dietz said. “We just didn’t execute to the level that we should.”

That inconsistency has been a problem for the Falcons in the past, but this time the defense could not get enough stops to keep the game close.

“We know we can do it, we just have to put it together for 60 minutes,” Dietz said. “That’s all it really comes down to.”

Ball State totalled 485 yards of offense, 286 through the air

and 199 on the ground. Cardinal running back Jahwan Edwards accumulated 165 of those rush-ing yards and two second half touchdowns.

“We didn’t do a good job of staying in our gaps,” Walker said. “The back was being real-ly patient and found where we made mistakes at.”

Cardinal quarterback Ozzie Mann passed for 286 yards and three touchdowns.

A Falcon defense that has at least one turnover in their last three games failed to force one against a Cardinal offense that dominated the time of posses-sion battle by 13 minutes.

“We’ve been harping on get-ting a lot of turnovers,” Walker said. “I don’t know what hap-pened today. It was not a good performance by the defense today.”

HOT OFF THE BLOCKS

Falcons advance to 4-0 on year behind senior Richaun Holmes’ double-double performance

By Cameron Teague RobinsonEditor-in-Chief

The University of Detroit Mercy came into this game riding three straight wins and without a loss at home in Calihan Hall. That was until Richaun Holmes and the Bowling Green Falcons came to town.

In a game where the Falcons had more turnovers [14] than assists [11] and shot 38 percent from the field, senior Richaun Holmes did all he could to give the Falcons their fourth win in as many games.

He had 26 points, a career-high 18 rebounds, five blocks and shot 10-12 from the field, but no shot was more important than his game winning layup as time expired. His game winning layup gave the Falcons the 64-63 win and moved their record to 4-0 on the young year.

“I just came in and tried to be aggressive and do what I can to help my team win,” Holmes said. “I was just able to get on a good roll.”

After a jump shot by Juwan Howard Jr. with three seconds left, the Falcons called timeout. They received the ball at mid court, then Holmes drove the right lane and put his shot off the glass and it banked it.

“I felt like we had time to get a good shot,” Holmes said. “Spencer made a great pass and I just went to the rim and tried to get a good shot off. Luckily it went down.”

Head coach Chris Jans wasn’t sure if it counted or not after the shot, he said.

Holmes, though, felt his shot beat the buzzer he said.The Falcons came out of the tip in a press on defense. They were able to

force Detroit into three early turnovers, but those only led to two Falcon points. Detroit regrouped and would end the second half with only five turnovers and five assists.

Despite their regrouping efforts, the Falcons led 36-28 going into half-time.

The Falcons had their lead up to ten points with 11:21 to go in the game, but from there Detroit began to chip away at the lead. They would chip away possession by possession until they took a 57-56 lead with 4:19 left to go in the game.

“They certainly battled back and wouldn’t go away,” Jans said. “I was proud of our guys that they stayed together. We could have easily folded and went the other way on the road like that.”

In the last four minutes the lead changed six times until Holmes changed it again for good with his game-winning lay up.

“I was just so excited we got the win and to see my teammates happy,” Holmes said. “We stayed together and knew we still had a chance to win the game.”

This win moves the Falcons to 4-0 on the season. They will look to con-tinue their winning streak when they travel to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to play the Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers on Dec. 3.

“I would hope that this could show them that we can come back when we are down,” Jans said. “It’s definitely something to build off of.”

MARIE COURONNE | THE BG NEWS

I have never been an avid sports fan.

I played tennis in high school, I attend Falcon football games and I observe cheer-fully as my family screams in joy and rage over touchdowns, goals and baskets.

I’ve never felt an obligation to like athletics; after all, I was the musical one in the fam-ily. I don’t attach emotionally to a specific athlete, league or team; I simply appreciate a good game when I see one.

But I like to believe that, regardless of my preference in my extracurricular activities, I stand up for what is right. And the NFL’s decision to re-instate Ray Rice to be drafted was wrong.

A lot of people might blame my flickering rage on my outward support of feminist movements, but I believe this is so much more than the sim-ple equality of sexes.

By re-instating Ray Rice to have the opportunity to poten-

tially play football once again, the NFL has single-handedly silenced the thousands of women and men who cry for peace and justice over domes-tic abuse and violence.

Janay Rice stood up for her husband with the statement, “... be strong when your partner is weak. I stuck with Ray because I truly love him.”

I admire Janay. I think she is a solid example of a strong woman.

However, the case of Ray and his wife was lucky to be exposed the way it was, unlike so many cases involving normal people with seemingly normal lives who are not able to receive the type of awareness that is called for and needed.

This rare case, found by a

fluke, was a horrifying loss. I’m not a stranger to domes-

tic violence and control. This is not the time nor the place to become personal, but when I see a case that had a chance to represent the women and men abused thrown away by their loved ones and the legal system completely missing the mark, I know that we let the abusers win.

Janay was brave to stand by her husband in such a trying time, but this has now cre-ated a bar, a standard, of nor-malcy. It shows that abusers always have the opportunity to be forgiven and that there are no consequences to abus-ers’ actions. Abuse is hard to recognize.

It hides in strong hands and nicely worded sentences. It hides in screaming matches and black eyes underneath concealer. It hides in scratch marks or therapy sessions.

You can take your pick, but it’s there.

Abuse destroys and ruins lives daily and sometimes for-giveness is not the remedy to a broken arm or a broken heart. Sometimes what the brave men and women need is the peace of mind that reported abuse is handled quickly, effi-ciently and correctly.

This is not a new topic dis-cussed in the bright shiny light of celebrities and athletes. But it is a topic that needs the jus-tice that it deserves.

No longer should a young adult have to feel like abusive behavior is normal and for-giveness is a part of the process and no longer should a person capable of abuse rationalize their behavior by the example set by lawyers and PR profes-sionals that are trained on how to sneak out of a just verdict.

No longer can these abused voices stay silent.

HOLIDAY POUNDS

When stressed over finals, remember purpose of college degreeNow that we have all recov-ered from our food comas from Thanksgiving [or per-haps not], it’s time to get back to school for the final push of the semester.

The period between post-Thanksgiving and pre-winter break that’s fraught with pre-sentations, papers and the big kahuna: finals.

As things begin to wind down for the semester and everybody gets one step closer to graduation, it’s easy to get overly stressed out.

Professors seem not only to strive for but actually enjoy heaping assignments on their classes all at once, so it’s almost impossible not to feel like you’re being spread around too thin. How can you help yourself?

Well, I’m not going to talk about brushing up on those time management skills, although that certainly helps.

If you have been procrastinat-ing in buying a planner, now’s the time.

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Eat healthy meals and get enough exercise and all that jazz. Take some time to relax and clear your mind and do something fun, like watch Frozen.

I find that it also helps to take a moment to pause and remember the reason why you’re here in the first place. To get a higher education, you say.

Groovy, but what precisely are you going to do with that higher education? No, really — I’m not trying to be a hellish echo of your Uncle Whoever who just harangued you

about your future all through Thanksgiving dinner.

Maybe you aren’t sure what that is — and that’s okay.

For those of us who do, though, recalling that reason can not only revive us but give us a heightened sense of pur-pose to even the most mun-dane assignment. It might be busy work, but it’s necessary in the long run to get a good grade in the class that you need to graduate with your intended degree.

Often I feel like I’m not cool because I don’t have one of those “I’ve known I’ve wanted to be [blank] since I was five” stories. If you do, that’s awesome.

That doesn’t make my pas-sion for what I’m going to do any less and it doesn’t lessen the motivation at hard times of the semester, either. I have, though, known I’ve wanted to be a teacher since my first field

placement in my first educa-tion class here.

I can’t even say that it was the moment I interacted with the first student I ever worked with in that class, but rather it was the result of repeated interactions with them, day after day, week after week, semester after semester.

I had a lot to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving and every day.

In addition to my family and friends and the students whose lives I’ve been a part of already, even with just a small presence, there’s that feeling that I’m doing precisely what I’m meant to do. That’s what keeps me going.

What keeps you going? Remember that, take a deep

breath [or five] and study on.

STUDENTS BUY coffee from the kiosk in Olscamp Hall.

The Dunkin’ Donuts kiosk that opened in Olscamp Hall in September has been seeing success, with around 300-500 customers per day, accord-ing to Dining Services Director Michael Paulus.

The kiosk, located on the first floor of Olscamp, was opened due to the success of the store on Ridge Street and offers coffee and donuts.

Paulus said in an email that Dining Services is happy with the success of the kiosk, and may open other satellite locations.

“BGSU Dining Services will use the Dunkin’ Donuts Cart service as a benchmark for future site locations,” Paulus said. “Due the success of the Dunkin’ Donuts service, we may partner with other brands to explore satellite locations as well.”

As a result of customer requests, Paulus said the kiosk will start offering hot chocolate in the near future.

CAMPUSBRIEFDunkin’ Donuts kiosk sees success

rently there are about 500 students signed up, said Andrew Art, Community Partner Coordinator and Scott Brummel, who is the Volunteer Coordinator for the Off ice of Service Learning.

Right now, the program has 30 community part-ners that students will volunteer and work for. Some services students have done in the past include painting, replac-ing carpet, cleaning and raking leaves, among other things.

Students have also vol-

unteered at a variety of places including nursing homes, daycare centers and parks.

“A lot of the time, the non-profits hold a lot of volunteering because usu-ally there isn’t a lot of peo-ple working there so having that extra person power, like moving things from the basements to different floors or redoing a whole room, makes the lives of the community partner easier,” Georgoff said.

If one doesn’t want to wait until January or can’t attend the service day, there are always alterna-tives for those students looking to get involved.

“One Saturday a month

we do what’s called Service Saturday, so we’ll do a small service event around the community or neighbor-ing community,” Georgoff said. “We’ll take students there and get them con-nected with a community partner and do some ser-vices for the day.”

The deadline for the registration was origi-nally the final day before Thanksgiving break, but has since been extended until Dec. 8, giving more students time to register.

been distributing it and organizing events around the list for the past few years,” she said.

The list that yourFel-lowFalcon, a student orga-nization whose goal is to create a more welcom-ing campus, has updated includes a variety of fun social activities, in catego-ries anywhere from food, sports, arts, school spirit and more.

The organization also hosts the events, said Charlie Wyraz, a yFF stu-dent manager.

“This past summer we asked our Facebook friends what we should change about the bucket list,” Wyraz said. “So we updated it and revamped it. We try to plan events at least once a month.”

Although all the events can be done around the area, it is not something students should expect to check off completely in a short time.

Some bucket lists sets some lofty aspirations, and this one is no excep-tion. The revamped list has over 70 items, some easier than others, which all try to create a friendly, more social environment

on campus and among the broader community.

“yFF has many different initiatives from DiyFF to Random Acts of Kindness,” Wyraz said. “So the ‘Bucket List’ is just one of our initiatives.”

Sometimes they can knock out two birds with one stone.

“Our last bucket list event we combined two items on the bucket list ‘walking across cam-pus in the autumn leaves with Starbucks coffee’ and ‘take pictures on the Thinker statue,’” she said. “We also bought Starbucks for everyone in line as a Random Act of Kindness.”

The most recent yFF Bucket List event was a bowling night.

“We like to choose events that a lot of people are able to come to, like this past week we went bowling at Al-Mar Lanes,” Wyraz said. “We reserved a bunch of lanes and had a great turnout.”

Clarissa Beavers, an attending student, said the bowling event was her first of the yFF Bucket List.

“I thought it was a real-ly great turnout,” Beavers said. “There were a lot of BGSU students there and multicultural students as well. It was a great way to bring in diversity.”

third in as many games against Mid-American Conference West Division teams. The Falcons, who will represent the MAC East division in the MAC Championship Friday, have losses to Western Michigan, the University of Toledo and now Ball State.

The Falcons now have their eyes set on the MAC Championship but will need leadership to get ready, Walker said.

“We realized we need to play our best game against everyone,” Walker said. “The leadership really needs to step up this week.”

Despite the loss the Falcons still have the chance to win their sec-

ond consecutive MAC Championship on Friday.

“As bad as we may have looked out there today. I still think there is a game out there that can make a difference and that can hopefully right the wrong that has happened in some of the parts of this sea-son,” Babers said. “I still have hope in these young men, coaches and myself that we will get it right.”

points of her own for the Lions, evening the game back up. From there, the teams traded baskets and it was tied at 48 with 1:44 left to play. The Falcons then missed their final four shots and the Lions took the game from the charity stripe 51-48.

“This was a game where I think we got better,” Roos

said. “We had a chance to finish out that game. I’m happy that we put our-selves in position to win. We had a shot to tie the game at the buzzer that didn’t go, we had a layup with a chance to take the lead with a minute left that didn’t go. We execut-ed well for the majority of the game, but just couldn’t close the deal tonight.”

Roos said the loss stung “a little more than usual” because the Falcons had

the chance to win and played well the majority of the game.

“It’s a great learning opportunity for us. This trip has made us better,” Roos said. “We’ve gotten better as a team on the floor, we’ve grown togeth-er as a team both on and off the floor, and those are the things you look for. It was disappointing that we didn’t get two wins here in LA, but we got better on this trip.”
