Construction to begin on health center University tours help attract

potential students

By Kendra ClarkWeb Editor

Going on a guided campus tour as an incoming freshman can make or break a student’s decision to attend the University.

Staff who hire campus tour guides are search-ing for specific things students can bring to the table.

“We look for unique experiences and a passion for the University,” said Cristina Sanchez, admin-istrative coordinator for campus tour guides.

She oversees the hiring and training of tour guides. Sanchez likes to see a diversity of stu-dents apply to work as guides.

“We want students of different majors and from different places to come and work for us to best represent every new potential student coming to see BG,” Sanchez said. “But the most important thing that we can see is someone who has a pas-sion for the University, because it is easy to tell when they do and when they don’t.”

Lisa Frey, a senior and transfer student from Owens Community College, knew she wanted to go to the University when she went through a campus tour her sophomore year.

“I already was set on going to BG,” Frey said. “Listening to them talk and hearing about the cute, fun facts made me care for the University more than I already did.”

Sara Westendorf, a junior from Bishop Watterson High School in Columbus, Ohio, went on a tour with her mother Tuesday afternoon.

“I didn’t know anything about Bowling Green before I came here,” Westendorf said. “I was just looking for something I could afford and was close to home.”

After going on an hour-long tour, Westendorf couldn’t have been happier about the University, she said.

“The people here are really friendly,” Westendorf said. “The buildings are all located in convenient places.”

Sara’s mother, Mary Westendorf, also was impressed with the University.

Love may be in the eye of the beholder, but the ear may not be so forgiving.

Lucky for students who can’t sing, they can pay Phi Mu Alpha to serenade someone special this Valentine’s Day.

Students who want to buy a ser-enade can go to the Union from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday and fill out a order form telling them where and when they would like the serenades to be sung. Students can also choose from a variety of songs.

The fraternity has been sell-ing serenades in the Union since Feb. 7 and will be singing until Valentine’s day.

When filling out an order form, students need to specify a one hour time block that the person they will

be buying for will be free so mem-bers can arrive on time.

Fraternity members call the buyer the day before to confirm when they will be going so the buyer will be there if they want to see it happen.

The money will be raised for a scholarship for the fall and to help replace ritual equipment.

“Other chapters have asked to use stuff and its been worn down, so we want to replenish our supplies,” Joseph Kuzdzal, treasurer of Phi Mu Alpha said.

Each year Phi Mu Alpha switches the songs they sing, but usually stick with a few signature songs such as “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” and “Ain’t She Sweet.”

“We actually doubled our playlist this year,” Zippay said. “Students can choose from six songs.”

Not only will students receive a song, but also a rose.

They provide their singing service both on and off campus within the Bowling Green city limits.

“Someone requested us to sing through Skype last year, so now we will sing over Skype or FaceTime,” Zippay said.

Students will be able to enjoy added conve-nience when getting health care from the University starting this fall.

Just across Wooster Street from Hanna Hall, construction has begun on the Falcon Health Center, the official groundbreaking ceremony will take place Thursday, Feb. 14 at 3:30 p.m.

The health center, which is set to be com-pleted by fall 2013, will be managed by Wood County Hospital and will offer students new opportunities for convenience such as

increased parking, a drive-thru pharma-cy and radiology services, said Bill Kidd, vice president of Support Services at Wood County Hospital.

The new health center will feature approx-imately 65 parking spots on site, Kidd said. The spots will be monitored by parking ser-

vices, he said. The new health center will also be on the University bus route.

Richard Sipp, associate vice president for Student Affairs and executive director of the Center for Student Health, said he thinks the addition of a drive-thru pharmacy will be good for students.

“I think that’s a plus because it means it’s more convenient for students,” he said. “Especially if you get a refill.”

CARNIVAL ON CAMPUS

CAMPUSBRIEFUniversity works to become reaccredited

Students now attend an accredited institution and the University is going through a process to make sure it stays that way this spring.

“There are over 3,000 universities in our association ... that agree to review each other to ensure we’re meeting standards,” said Joseph Frizado, vice provost for academic operations and assessment.

Frizado is referring to a regional accreditation association the University is a part of — the North Central Association for the Higher Learning Commission.

The University must prove to the commission that it is complying with federal and other stan-dards for universities.

“We have to show our colleagues that we have degree programs, that we have student support services ... and that the students who attend the University fit what we’re doing,” he said.

The process involves proving that the University is doing everything stated in its mission by bringing in people from outside the University to evaluate it, Frizado said. The University goes through the

process every 10 years, he said. “It’s to make sure that whatever you say

you’re doing to the public, to the rest of the world, that our colleagues can verify that’s the truth,” Frizado said.

One of the key components is federal compliance, he said.

“The risk of losing accreditation would really fall upon the students with federal student aid,” he said. “If we’re not accredited all the funding for students goes away.”

This year, the process is different, and the University is one of the first institutions trying it out, he said.

TOUR From Page 1

Toledo,” Mary said. “I didn’t see any students walking around over there at all. But here, while we were walking through the Union, I saw so many students; all with happy, smiling faces.”

Tom Bigley, a junior, was the Westendorfs’ tour guide. He showed them several buildings on cam-pus including the library, the Union and Business Administration Building.

“I love being a tour guide,” Bigley said. “I get to show why I love BG to students and try to convince them to become a student too.”

Bigley likes the responsi-bility that comes with being a tour guide as well.

“I am the first face stu-dents see when they come here,” Bigley said. “So in a way, I represent the

University to them.”He decided to become a

guide his freshman year. However, the road to

becoming one is no easy feat.

Sanchez makes those applying go through a three-step process to become a tour guide.

Students have to fill out an online application, then give a three-minute audi-tion in front of several judg-es, where they have to talk about the University as if they were giving a tour.

The last step to the pro-cess is a 15-minute inter-view with Sanchez and a student manager, where they ask questions like why they came to the University and what is the importance of being a tour guide to the University.

The application process starts at the beginning of the second semester every year. It just finished this

year, with a total of 49 out of 171 students that applied got the job.

Bigley is happy with the incoming tour guides, but is looking forward to future students coming in the fol-lowing years.

“Even if students didn’t apply this year, don’t give up,” Bigley said. “If people feel that they can and want to become a tour guide, try next year. You never know until you try.”

CAMPUSBRIEFUSG voices concerns about Union room changes

Following a proposal to change room reservations at the Union, Undergraduate Student Government President Alex Solis and Vice President David Neely presented a USG resolution against the changes to Brad Leigh, executive director of busi-ness operations, Tuesday morning.

Also present at the meeting was Graduate Student Senate President David Sleasman.

“It was a good opportunity to share

our concerns, get everything on the table .. and express the student voice on the issues,” Solis said.

Solis said Leigh was attentive to the ideas, and was going to take them back to Union Director Patrick Nelson for consideration.

USG passed the resolution Monday at an emergency meeting. USG is required to take one Monday off every month, but Speaker Melissa Dzienny called the emergency meeting to pass the resolution before Nelson’s pro-posed changes go into effect Friday.

Nelson first presented his proposal at an ex-officio meeting Feb. 1 and then again at a USG meeting Feb. 4. The proposal would limit the number of times and hours an organization can reserve a room in the Union and

would cap every meeting at two hours.

There were originally open forums scheduled for Feb. 12 and 13 to raise student awareness, but they are now cancelled.

Solis and Neely will meet with University President Mary Ellen Mazey Wednesday to discuss the issue and distribute the resolution to her, her cabinet and other administrators.

Since students would usually have already booked rooms in the Union months ago, Solis would like to see students begin booking Friday with the current policy in place.

“I am committed to making sure the student voice is heard,” Solis said. “I’m still hopeful something can be resolved by Friday.”

“I love being a tour guide... I get to show why I love

BG to students and try to convince them to become a

student too.”Tom Bigley | Tour Guide

F ebruary tends to bring back sweet memories of decorating shoeboxes and exchanging valentines as

a young kid in school. People of all ages participate in these exchanges of affection on this” national day of love,” but have you ever wondered exactly how Valentine’s Day cards became a custom and how long this has been going on? The idea of sending valentines to loved ones can be traced back to the Middle Ages when people would sing or recite verses instead of giving actual cards. Around the fifteenth century, written cards became the new token of affection for Valentine’s Day. According to History.com, the oldest known handwritten valentine

Valentine’s Day Cards:

Messages From the Heart has become Big Businessis currently kept in a British Museum as part of a manuscript collection. The valentine dates back to the year 1415 and is a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Exchanging valentines through mail gained popularity in the 1800’s because of advancements in printing technology and because the postal service became more affordable. Factories created commercial type cards that were very simple, typically painted with black and white pictures and the inside was left blank for the card-giver to write a special message. By the end of the 1800’s, Valentine’s Day cards were made entirely by machine. History.com also tells the

story of Esther A. Howland, also known as “Mother of the American Valentine,” because she was one of the first and most successful American printers to mass-produce and sell valentines. Howlands valentines were known for being fancy as they were created with real lace, ribbons, and colorful pictures. Valentine’s Day cards that already include a loving message are also convenient for people who are not naturally affectionate to express their feelings to their loved ones. Today, greeting card companies create a large variety of Valentine’s Day cards with the intent to convey the many different messages that consumers want to give. Many companies, such as American Greetings, offer a selection of

printable cards on their website that can be customized and also convenient for those who would rather not make a trip to the store. There is also the option to send an E-card to that special someone through email and even via mobile device. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide. This finding makes the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas with 2.6 billion. Next time you’re thinking of purchasing a card for Valentine’s Day, you will know it has some history to it and it’s not just a tradition the card companies started to reel you in!

BY: JACOB AMSTELValentine’s Day means celebrating your love with that special somebody…wait a second, I’m not smart, sensitive, or funny. I’m not muscular or good looking. I’m alone! There has to be a way to spend my Valentine’s Day without having a significant other.

Do not worry about not having a special someone,

your time will come to be as miserable

as they are.

Enjoy your freedom and remember no

matter how lonely you get, how

many tears you cry, how many bottles of Jack

Daniels you finish, Mommy always

loves you.

Coping Strategies if You don’t have a Valentine’s Date

There are actually many ways that a man can spend his Valentine’s Day alone while not treating his liver like a Chris Brown and Rihanna relationship. Everybody loves the movie “Up” but nobody wants to grow up to be a curmudgeon. Here are some ways to get you through Valentine’s Day without listening to Eleanor Rigby on loop while sipping wine with your pet fish: Go to a movie. Many guys like the adrenaline rush of action movies (especially those starring Nicholas Cage for some phenomena). Go to a movie and treat your testosterone like your date. “On Valentine’s Day I like to go to the movies to watch some bullets fly in people’s faces,” said junior Shane Hennessy. “If I can’t enjoy a woman’s company on this day then I might as well enjoy being a man some other way.” Have other single guys over to watch sports. Sports are always a good way to strengthen your manhood. Invite some buddies over to watch the big game on Valentine’s Day and enjoy yelling and rooting for athletes. Nothing can get your mind off your bad luck with the ladies better than watching grown men sweat and celebrate over a three-hour span. “I like to watch sports because of the excitement of the unknown,” says sophomore Jake Zureich. “I will watch basketball this year because not a lot can be on your mind when you are fully submerged in a sports game.” Throw back a couple cold ones along with your favorite team’s jersey and whatever you do, do not press play on your

Death Cab for Cutie album (unless you are watching a Cleveland sports game). Go out to a bar…with friends. Going to a bar and shooting some pool with some friends is always a good way to spend any night let alone Valentine’s Day. Adventure to a new hole-in-the-wall bar and stay away from the mainstream ones. The last thing you want on Valentine’s Day is to vomit because of all the other “cute” couples at the mainstream bar and not because of your intake of alcohol. Play some video games. Shoot up some zombies or bad guys on the day of love and appreciation. You love your country more than any other person so do not feel bad shooting all the terrorists (virtually, of course). Play as an avatar and score a date with a virtual person.

“I play video games because it is a good escape from the rest of the world,” said senior Owen Thomas. “No matter the troubles I have with anything in reality, I will always be a hero virtually and that is good enough for me.” Those are a few ideas to get you the wretched Valentine’s Day. Do not worry about not having a special someone, your time will come to be as miserable as they are. Enjoy your freedom and remember no matter how lonely you get, how many tears you cry, how many bottles of Jack Daniels you finish, Mommy always loves you.

VALENTINE’S DAY!

on Valentine’s Day

BY: KELSEY KULA

W ith Valentine’s Day around the corner, students at Bowling Green

State University are not hesitant to report their views on what men and women should not do on Valentine’s Day. The most common thought among nearly all of the students interviewed was not to break up with or ask that special other to be your boyfriend or girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. “It is really cheesy and overdone if you ask a girl to be your girlfriend on Valentine’s Day,” said Mike Nock, a freshman studying construction management. Nock also agreed that it is not the best idea to end a relationship on this day. He said that when he made the mistake of breaking up with his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, he ended up with slashed tires. What boyfriends or girlfriends should not do does not just involve their actions

Students Voice Opinions on what not to do on Valentine’s Day

on this day; it also involves how they treat the day and their expectations. Val Arko, a sophomore studying broadcast journalism, said that the main thing men should not do is not acknowledge the holiday and that women should not expect to receive everything on Valentine’s Day. “It’s just a day,” Arko said. “Girls should stop confessing their love on Valentine’s Day and stop going overboard.” Jason Kalaycio, a sophomore studying accounting, and Tommy Burke, a freshman studying finance, both agree that women set too high of standards for this one day. “I think girls are too into Valentine’s Day because of romantic movies,” Kalaycio said. “Guy’s can’t live up to these expectations.” But not all women expect to be taken to a romantic film though. Ashley Suevas, a freshman studying early childhood education, does not think that men should take girlfriends to romantic movies on this certain day.

“I think girls are too into Valentine’s Day because of romantic

movies,” Kalaycio said. “Guy’s can’t live up to these expectations.”

“Taking a girlfriend to a romantic movie is just ironic and I know I would not like that,” Suevas said. But taking a date to a romantic movie might not be so ironic compared to taking a boyfriend to dinner with your parents. Janeen Parker, a sophomore studying communication, recalls a time two years ago when she took her boyfriend out to eat with her family. “It was ruined,” Parker said. “Taking my boyfriend to dinner with my parents was very ironic because Valentine’s Day is suppose to be romantic.” The dates that are chosen are not the only thing that can ruin the day; there are also certain gifts that you should not give to your significant other. Valentine’s Day is the time of the year where the number of candy, flowers and cards sold skyrocket; but these types of gifts may not be the right ones for a boyfriend. “I think girls should definitely stay away from cliché gifts to give to their boyfriend,” said Dana Gill, a freshman studying marketing. “You shouldn’t give flowers or chocolates to them.”Arko agrees that these types of gifts are not fit for a boyfriend. “Stay away from build-a-bears,” Arko said. “Most [Boyfriends] do not want those types of gifts.”

C elebrating Valentine’s Day with gifting roses has been a tradition since most of us can

remember. Red roses serve as an allegory to the love we share with a sweetheart. Some may have wondered why red roses are given on Valentine’s Day. The secret may go all the way back to the third century. According to legend, the tradition of giving roses on Valentine’s Day started when a young Priest named Valentine was locked up in Rome in the third century for performing marriages for young soldiers who were forbidden from marrying. Emperor Claudius II believed by forbidding his soldiers to marry, they would enjoy his

RosesBefore Valentine was beheaded, he

sent his lover a note and one red rose to symbolize his love for her, starting a

tradition that continues today.army instead of worrying about a lover. Valentine, an obvious romantic at heart, defied the orders of Emperor Claudius II. When the Emperor found out, he locked up Valentine and sentenced him to death. While in prison, Valentine fell in love with a woman. Although their love was short lived, he made a lasting impression. Before he was beheaded, he sent his lover a note and one red rose to symbolize his love for her, starting a tradition that continues today. One local Bowling Green business continues Saint Valentine’s tradition to this day. The Flower Basket, located on South Main St., offers flowers year-round, but features special Valentine’s packages every year. Crista Metzger-Leady, an employee at The Flower Basket, encourages Bowling Green residents to remember the business for their Valentine’s Day needs.

The Flower Basket offers special Valentine’s Day packages featuring a variety of flowers, including roses, ranging in price from $29.95-$44.95. This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Thursday, which is beneficial for business, according to Metzger-Leady. “I’ve read before, and I believe it is true, that when a holiday like Valentine’s Day falls on a weekday, it is better for business,” she said. “Instead of people going out and buying flowers themselves, for instance, they have them delivered since they are busy with work and other things during the week.” The Flower Basket delivers anywhere in Bowling Green and can be reached at (419) 352-6395 or www.theflowerbasketbg.com. When celebrating Valentine’s Day this year with your sweetheart, do not forget the story of Saint Valentine. For without him, Valentine’s Day and the red roses that go with it would cease to exist.

BY: KELSEY RENTNER One of the most popular things to do on Valentine’s Day is to go see a romantic movie in theater, pop in a DVD or stream one across the Internet, whether it’s with your significant other or with friends.

Top Ten Romantic Valentine’s Day Movies You Can Rent or Buy

Instead of going out during the heart of winter, one way to stay warm is to cozy up and watch romance movies. A cheap way to watch movies is to rent a movie from Family Video, located on Main Street. By opening an

account, new members receive half off of rentals for 30 days. You can also buy movies at Wal-Mart starting at $5. Before going to rent or buy a movie, you need to know which one(s) are worth purchasing.

“Serenades have been bought for faculty members,” Kuzdzal said “We’ve also seen someone ask a girl out with a serenade before.”

For freshman JJ Fisher, he said it just depends on the girl and the relationship.

“If it’s your girlfriend you’ve been with for a while, she would probably think it’s cute and funny,” Fisher said. “But if it is a girl you’re not familiar with and trying to ask her to be your valentine, she might get embarrassed and think its weird. It might backfire.”

The group breaks into two groups of 15 dressed in tux-edos ready to sing.

“I enjoy providing joy to oth-ers through this experience of music in a different way,” Kuzdzal said.

CONSTRUCTION HAS begun on the new Falcon Health Center. The official groundbreaking ceremony will be Thursday, Feb. 14 at 3:30 p.m.

Health Center, said the added radiology services will also help students.

“That should help to expedite their care,” Busdeker said. “We won’t have to transport them.”

If students go to the health center and they need an X-ray, they must be transported to the Wood County Hospital to

get one.In addition to these ser-

vices, the student insurance office will be located in the new health center for student convenience, however, it will continue to be owned and operated by the University, Sipp said.

The contract between the University and the Wood County Hospital was finalized in December, and Sipp said it went well.

Now, the University and the hospital are working to design the interior of the building while the structure is being completed, Sipp said.

As far as the interior, Sipp said he thinks it will be simi-lar to how the health center is now, but refined.

“I think it’s going well, I think we have a high level of cooperation,” he said. “[The hospital has] done a good job of keeping things moving.

They recognize the impor-tance to the students that this opens in the fall.”

There will be no interrup-tion in health care services and no period when the stu-dent health service is not open, Sipp said.

“[We’re working] on identi-fication of all the myriad of tasks that need to be com-pleted to transition,” Sipp said. “We want it to be as seamless for the students as possible.”

SPORTS BRIEFTwo Falcon throwers cited for alcohol violations

BG track and field athletes freshman Shana Flanary and sophomore Brooke Pleger were cited

early Sunday morning.The two throwers were

cited for underage posses-sion of alcohol and open container of alcohol at 12:11 a.m. Sunday at Lot 2 down-town, which is behind The Stones Throw Pub.

Flanary was also cited for disorderly conduct/public urination.

Pleger is currently ranked third in the MAC and also ranked nationally in her categories, and has been a leader for the Falcons this season. She has taken first place in three out of five

meets this year in the weight throw. Pleger took fifth at Akron and fourth at Grand Valley in the Big Meet.

Flanary also competes in the weight throw, but has only thrown in three meets this year. Her best finish was fifth at Eastern Michigan on Dec. 7.

Pleger attended her court appearance Tuesday and has an arraignment hearing Feb. 20.

The track and field team is on a break until Feb. 22 for the Mid-American Conference Indoor Championships.

The Falcons gymnastics team made a comeback win over the Lindenwood Lions at its away meet last Saturday, 192.850-192.050.

This is the second win of the sea-son for the Falcons, who now have a record of 2-4 (1-2 MAC).

Falcons’ head coach Kerrie Beach said that despite the rough start on bars, the team did a great job on vault, beam and floor exercise.

“The score did not reflect the way the team performed,” Beach said. “That’s gymnastics. You have to prepare for different officiating from meet to meet.”

After the first routine, the Falcons were behind the Lions by .275, but the team pulled together on the vault. Jamilah Ali led with a score of 9.825.

From there, the Falcons held onto the lead and finished .800 points higher than the Lions.

“[This meet] proved to them-selves they don’t have a weak event,” Beach said, “Anything can happen, and you have to keep try-ing your best effort.”

The gymnastics team is now preparing for its upcoming meet Saturday. The Falcons will take on four teams in Raleigh, NC against the University of North Carolina, George Washington University, and William & Mary University.

Coach Beach said this is more than just an opportunity to per-form against multiple schools, it is also great practice for the Mid-American Conference Championships.

“This is a chance for similarity to the post season,” Beach said.

Beach said that one of the biggest challenges will be staying focused and relaxed during the moments when they are off the floor. Since there are so many teams compet-ing, there will be rotations where the girls will be sitting out.

“We want to go 24 for 24 rou-tines,” Beach said.

The BG men’s basketball team will tip-off against Mid-American Conference West Division lead-ers Western Michigan at the Stroh Center 7 p.m. Wednesday.

The Falcons are coming off a 72-63 loss to Ohio this past Saturday. Before the defeat, BG won its previous two games against Ball State 70-59 at home and Northern Illinois 57-41 on the road.

BG leads the Broncos in their all-time series 67-45 and won in Kalamazoo, Mich. this past year 72-48. However, the last time Western Michigan came to Bowling Green —during the 2010-11 sea-son — it was able to come away with a 75-61 win.

The Broncos are currently 15-8 on the season and tied for the MAC-West Division lead with Toledo.

Western Michigan started the season with a 63-55 loss against the Cornell Big Red, but responded by winning the next six games against Marygrove College, Loyola (IL), Maryland-Eastern Shore, South Florida, High Point and Oakland.

Once November ended, the Broncos went into a slump, winning only three games in a nine-game span that started Dec. 1 and ended Jan. 12. Their wins were against Oakland Dec. 1, at High Point Dec. 16 and against Mount St. Mary’s Dec. 22.

Four of their six losses during that time came against teams that have high-chances to see NCAA tournament action in March. On Dec. 4, they lost to the then-ranked No. 3 Michigan Wolverines 73-41 in Ann Arbor, Mich. The following game they lost

to Illinois State 85-63 in Normal, Ill. Their next loss came on Dec. 19 in Pittsburgh against Duquesne 71-66.

The Broncos went on a three-game winless streak after defeating Mount St. Mary’s Dec. 22. They traveled to Raleigh, N.C. Dec. 29 to take on then-ranked No. 23 North Carolina State Wolfpack, but lost 84-68.

After their loss to North Carolina State, the Broncos dropped their two conference games to Akron (65-43) and Ohio (61-59).

After starting conference play 0-2, WMU went on a seven-game win streak, which included wins against Toledo at home, on the road at Northern Illinois, Eastern Michigan at home, at Central Michigan, on the road at Miami, and Buffalo and Kent State on their home court. The Broncos were then upset at Ball State 65-62 this past Saturday.

The Falcons have six more conference games and two non-conference games left in the 2012-13 campaign, including tonight’s contest against Western Michigan.

Before taking a break from conference games, the Falcons will travel to take on MAC leader Akron Saturday. Following that game, the Falcons will host Division-I independent New Orleans on Feb. 21 and then travel to Fort Wayne, Ind. to take on the IPFW Mastodons in the annual BrackBuster game Feb. 23.

BG will then finish its season with home games against Miami Feb. 27, Ohio March 2, an away game against Kent on March 5 and finishing with Buffalo at the Stroh Center March 8.

PEOPLE ON THE STREET What song would you sing your valentine? Why?“‘Wanted’ by Hunter Hayes because all the girls love that song.”

“I would probably sing ‘The Way You Look Tonight’ by Frank Sinatra.”

“‘All of Me’ by Wale and Lloyd because I feel like the lyrics would go with the type of relationship we have.”

“‘Isn’t She Lovely’ by Stevie Wonder because she’s lovely.”

3 TYPES OF SINGLES ON VALENTINE’S DAYInternet generation impacts important

debates, issues

All love is worth celebrating on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and while some of us can’t wait to be lavished with boxes of chocolate or hallmark cards, others of us are counting the days till it’s over.

What is it about Valentine’s Day that makes some of us so sensitive? Does it stir up old memo-ries of past relationships, or remind us of loved ones who we may no lon-ger be able to build new memories with? Should we mourn what we had or be amused by our friends who think they’re in love?

But, really, what is it about Valentine’s Day? It seems to have this magi-cal power that turns candy wrappers red and creates heart shaped wrappers on everything. Flowers seem

to bloom and love seems to float in the air.

For those of us who are single, Valentine’s Day serves as the one day soci-ety seems to emphasize the fact that we are still single and still have our childhood obsession of binging on chocolate (or in my case wine) while watching Bridget Jones Diary (or in my case James Bond).

For people who are in relationships, that’s anoth-er story. It might as well be proven that 80 percent of the day is spent exchang-ing gifts to send messages that have hopefully already been reiterated throughout a relationship. The other 20 percent is spent in the bedroom if you’re lucky.

The most amusing part, though, is how we live in a society that is so out of touch with ourselves

that we need a holiday to acknowledge this love or compassion. Why can’t we show appreciation every day or acknowledge people when they need it most?

I remember the most appreciated bouquet of flowers I’ve ever given to an ex-girlfriend was when she was least expecting it. So why should men be obliged to buy them on valentine’s day? Needless to say I still have yet to find this hidden power that flowers pos-sess over women whether, they’re your grandmother, mother or girlfriend.

So don’t be demotivated this Valentine’s Day. Don’t even think of it as another holiday that you have to ignore on your calendar (if you’re single). Take this time to seize the moment and open up to yourself.

If anyone has made you feel special or wanted then

let that person know, even if the feelings are not strict-ly mutual. You’ll probably make their day better even if they don’t receive flow-ers or chocolates.

It’s my belief that Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be about limiting the love and compassion we have for our partners but for our whole inner circle that strengthens us.

It’s never too late to find the people who mean the most to you. The people who have shaped you and helped put together your heart when it was broken. The people you know that you don’t want to spend the rest of your life with-out. Tell them how you feel, and make sure not to forget the f lowers.

EMILY GORDONCOLUMNIST

The Internet is a fantastic medium through which we can share our thoughts and ideas with the world instantly.

It, and social media web-sites like Twitter, have helped us make great progress relat-ing to and conversing with each other.

But it also allows us to wit-ness the less agreeable parts of human interactions.

In England, Oxford University’s Student Union created the Women Campaign, which recently asked both men and women to participate in their “Who Needs Feminism?” project.

Whiteboards displaying slogans explaining why femi-nism is needed were held up by participators and photo-graphed.

One woman said she need-ed feminism because she doesn’t “want to see half the population as a minority.”

A man said he needs feminism because, “my sister deserves the same opportunities and stan-dards as me.”

The Twitterverse was abuzz with tweets related to this campaign, but not in its favor.

Instead, users tweeted against the campaign, using the hashtag (I Need Masculism Because) to mock it and assert that feminism is “anti-male”.

The users complained that men need men’s rights cam-paigns, too, and that men are the ones who are truly oppressed.

Tweets such as “hashtag (I Need Masculism Because) I shouldn’t have to pay for a dinner because of my gen-der” and “hitting women makes us aggressive and bru-tal people but when a women hits us it makes her indepen-

dent and strong.”There are many things

wrong with the hashtag (I Need Masculism Because) ideology.

As one wordpress user, feministaspie, says about the tweets on her blog, the femi-nist movement was created in response to the harsh gen-der stereotyping patriarchy upholds.

Feminists aren’t working for women to be the “win-ners” in a “battle of the sexes”, nor are they “anti-male.”

Feminists are fighting for the equality of all genders.

Both male and female par-ticipants in the “Who Needs Feminism?” campaign said they needed feminism for life-altering reasons, such as gendered violence, harass-ment, discrimination due to stereotyping and double standards.

Males are affected by the patriarchy too, and feminists recognize and abhor it.

Of the more than 470 par-ticipants in the “Who Needs Feminism?” campaign, one third are male.

The issues feminists have with our patriarchal soci-ety are real and dangerous, unlike some Twitter users’ perceptions of some appar-ent social law that a male is forced to pay for his and his date’s dinner.

So I was delighted to see both male and female Twitter users “trolling” the hashtag (I Need Masculism Because) tag with why they (sarcasti-cally) need “masculism”.

I was even more pleased to find that users were exposed to blogs and papers about feminism and equality due to the hullabaloo about the tag.

The fact that male and female users ended up con-versing and working together over a tag that was created to divide users and spread false-hoods gives me a lot of hope for the Internet generation.
