WKU is adorned with many aesthetically and architecturally memorable features. The statue of Big Red posing in Downing Student Union or the statue of President Henry Hardin Cherry in front of Cherry Hall, just to name a few. WKU’s campus is home to something much more more than statues or figurines.

Trees.WKU recently received an ArbNet

Accreditation by The MortonArboretum in cooperation with American Public Gardens Association and Botanic Gardens Conservation International, said Joshua Twardowski, manager of operations and Campus Services.

“This international initiative offers four levels of accreditation, recognizing arboreta of variousdegrees of development, capacity and professionalism,” he said in an email.

Martin Stone, associate professor of Horticulture and director of the Baker Arboretum, said the accreditation was a logical move for WKU as they have strived to increase the diversity of tree foliage on campus in past years.

“They’ve taken the campus itself and gotten it accredited as an arboretum in itself,” Stone said.

The Baker Arboretum is a privately owned facility that is affiliated with WKU and boasts over 150 acres of diverse plant life. Stone said that this recent decision is very nice for the

Students inspired by Sundance Film Festival tripBY ANDREW [email protected]

Keanu Reeves, Jason Segel and Spike Lee all walk into a film festival. This is not the setup for a bad joke, but rather the reality for the students who partici-pated in a Study Away to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah this past January.

There were 14 students who experi-enced the Sundance Film Festival over the winter term from Jan. 20 through Jan. 28. The group of students were led by English professor Ted Hovet and as-sistant professor of English Dawn Hall. Hall and Hovet said this was their sec-ond time taking a group of students to the well-known film festival.

“It’s the most prestigious of all film festivals,” Hovet said.

Hovet was one of the key figures in helping to develop the film major at WKU back in 2010 when he combined efforts with the School of Journalism & Broadcasting to create the major. He said SJ&B teaches the more hands-on side of the film industry while he and

others in the English department focus more on the literary and content part of the major.

Hovet said the Study Away at Sun-dance fits with a lot of different majors and provides three credit hours for sev-eral areas of study, including film, Eng-lish and pop culture.

Both professors agreed the previous academic preparation would pale in comparison to the real-world experi-ence gained from attending the festi-val.

“I think travel is one of the best means of education,” Hall said.

The students who went to Sundance strongly echo these sentiments held by Hall and Hovet.

Lexington senior Fiona Martin said her visit to the film festival was more than just a school trip. It was a chance to make real connections with the group.

“It was more than an academic expe-rience,” she said.

For Martin, the trip to Sundance was something that had caught her eye last year, and since then, it had been on her

bucket list. Martin said the question and answer panels after the films were her favorite part of the festival. Direc-tors, producers, actors and actresses

often made appearances after theirrespective films to answer audience

Geology Club digs up opportunities for WKU students

BY MADISON [email protected]

If one regularly walks through the

lobby of the Environmental Science

and Technology building, they might

come across a vendor displaying a

vast array of rocks, fossils and jewelry.

This fundraiser belongs to WKU’s Ge-

ology Club, a group of students who

are passionate about rocks.

“It’s a group for like-minded majors

to exchange ideas and pleasantries,”

Sean Stanley, Fort Knox senior and

club vice president, said.

The club has been established for

several years at WKU, and contributes

to the undergraduate research that

the department aims to foster. The

largely student-run group is given “a

lot of autonomy,” as faculty advisor

and associate professor of geology

Andrew Wulff explained.

The group fundraises by having

rock sales and sandwich/soup sales

to make their many camping and hik-

ing trips a possibility.

One of their recent expeditions hap-

pened in the spring of 2014, when

about 13 members flew out to the

West Coast to collect rock samples

from the Mojave Desert. Before go-

ing on such a trip, the students coor-

dinate with faculty to figure out what

kind of samples they want to bring

back to examine in the classroom.

“All of the geology majors take a

course in analytical techniques, very

early in their major,” Wulff said. “So

when they bring (samples) back, they

already know how to use all of the

equipment that we have in the pro-

gram.”

Faculty members don’t usually go

on the trips, placing even more con-

trol into the students’ hands.

“The idea here is that the students

are really given the chance to be in

charge of something themselves, in-

stead of always having to…be tagging

along with some faculty member,”

Wulff said. “The club is really, stu-

dents taking charge, and doing things

for students…”

Bowling Green police are investigat-ing hazing allegations made by a for-mer student involving the WKU swim team.

Collin Craig, who was a freshman from Meadow Vista, California dur-ing the fall 2014 semester, alleged that members of the swim team forced him to drink alcohol, assaulted and hazed him multiple times. Craig was a member of the swim team.

The complaint was fi led on Jan. 6 via email. The incidents took place off-campus, according to the police report.

Ronnie Ward, public information of-fi cer for the Bowling Green Police De-partment, said the investigation is in its infancy.

The university experienced revenue growth this year, which university offi cials hope will sta-bilize the budget.

Ann Mead, senior vice president for Finance and Administration, said the budget experienced a 3.6 percent growth over the previous year and a 3.5 percent increase over the past six months.

Mead said the Offi ce of the State Budget Direc-tor released data that indicated strong income growth for WKU in November, but a slight de-cline in December.

She said the university fi nished the past six months of the fi scal year strong in terms of the budget projection.

“That's good news that makes me feel much more comfortable that we won't be hit with a mid-year budget cut,” she said. “Those are hard

President Barack Obama outlined many proposals during his State of the Union address on Jan. 20, but one of the most prominent was the idea to make the fi rst two years of community college free.

“America thrived in the 20th century because we made high school free,” he said.

Obama said other countries have caught on, and America needs to take more steps to reward knowledge in or-der to fl ourish in a modern economy.

The proposal, called America's Col-lege Promise, would waive tuition for the fi rst two years of community col-lege, provided that students main-tain a 2.5 grade point average, attend school at least half-time and "make steady progress toward completing their program" according to white-house.gov.

Atop the hill, Thompson Complex North Wing lies in ruins after demoli-tion over winter break.

Bryan Russell, chief facilities offi cer, said the North Wing will be complete-ly demolished by the end of January and has been a part of a ‘master plan’ of construction since 2005.

The university’s vision is to rebuild the Mathematics and Science colleg-es on campus.

“We are optimistic about the mod-ern learning the new labs and class-rooms will promote,” said Cheryl Stevens, dean of the Ogden College of Science and Engineering. “The build-ing was planned to be torn down for 10 years, so we are just excited at the thought of a new facility.”

The process became tangible when the Engineering and Biological Sci-ences building debuted in 2004, fol-lowed by Snell Hall in 2009 and the

Science and Technology Hall in 2010, which is now known as College High Hall.

The North Wing of Thompson Com-plex is the fi nal project in this ongo-ing ‘master plan.’ Construction on the new building will begin in the later part of 2015.

Before construction begins, a pro-cess called programming has to oc-cur. Programming is the design pro-cess in which the deans of Ogden College are asked how many labs and classes will be needed.

Over the last decade, estimated class and lab sizes may have changed, along with the technology needed to properly teach students, but the proj-ect is on schedule, Russell said.

Not only is the project on schedule, but the $48 million state-funded proj-ect is under budget.

The money will also be spent on renovating Thompson Complex Cen-tral Wing.

The new building replacing Thomp-

son Complex North Wing is set to be completed in June 2017.

Students taking classes will be moved into the new building as the renovations Central Wing of the Thompson Complex are being done.

Russell said the overall renovation will be complete in January 2018.

Abatement of hazardous materials, steel and salvageable items were also a part of the $48 million project.

“Thompson Complex has been there since the '60s, though it had proper upkeep, asbestos creeps into the fl oor tiles, roofs and wiring,” said Russell. “So we had to rid that hazard-ous waste from the premise properly.”

The Planning, Design and Con-struction department worked closely with the university and community in recycling and breaking down of the North Wing of Thompson Complex.

The Environmental Health and Safety department helped with recy-cling the asbestos and old lab materi-

The Hilltoppers’ nine-game win-ning streak was snapped by Louisi-ana Tech on Thursday night, with a score of 69-56. The team rebound-ed with a 73-62 win over Southern Mississippi, on Saturday.

Both contests were road games for WKU, who has struggled away from Diddle Arena this season. The Hilltoppers improved to 15-6 over-all, 8-1 in Conference USA play and

4-4 away."The pressure was the difference

in the game. We had to go small to get another ball handler in," Head Coach Ray Harper said on the Hill-topper IMG Sports Network after the loss in Ruston, Louisiana. "We had some guys that looked out of character against the pressure."

George Fant’s eight-game streak of registering a double-double was snapped in Louisiana as well. He would not register against Southern Miss either.

"We rushed some things and didn't do what we needed to do," Harper said. "When we drove the ball, we needed to play off too or make the play from someone else, and we didn't do that a lot … we tried to make it for ourselves."

Saturday proved to be a new leaf for WKU, as senior T.J. Price tied a career-high 30 points on 8-for-15 shooting to lead the Hilltoppers to

With the college baseball season starting in just under two weeks, Con-ference USA released its preseason baseball coaches’ poll and awards, last Wednesday. WKU was picked to finish ninth in its inaugural season in the 12-team conference.

WKU matched or bested its pre-dicted order of finish in five of its last seven seasons in the Sun Belt Con-ference, including both the 2013 and 2014 seasons. The top eight finishers in the regular-season standings qual-ify for the double-elimination C-USA Baseball Championship in Hatties-burg, Mississippi.

Though the team was not picked to finish in the top half of the league, se-nior first baseman Ryan Church was selected to the Preseason All-Confer-ence USA team, standing alone as the Hilltoppers’ sole selection.

Church was a Second Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection as a junior in 2014, leading WKU with 38 RBIs, 21 multiple-hit games, seven homers, 102 total bases and a .371 batting aver-age with runners in scoring position, in his first season on the Hill.

He headlines a 2015 Hilltopper of-fense that returns six of its top nine hitters from last season, a group that brings back 67.2 percent of its hits along with 65.5 percent of its runs, 66.4 percent of its RBIs and 63.5 per-cent of its extra-base hits.

Defending C-USA Champion and preseason No. 13 Rice was unani-mously selected to win the league crown again this year. The Owls fea-ture one of NCAA's premier pitchers in junior All-American lefty Blake Fox. Rice has either won the C-USA regu-lar-season or tournament title in nine consecutive seasons.

League coaches voted Fox as the Pre-season Pitcher of the Year, while fellow Rice senior catcher, John Clay Reeves was chosen as the Preseason Player of the Year.

First pitch takes place Feb. 13 against No. 14 Maryland, as the Hilltoppers take part in Coastal Carolina’s Baseball at the Beach Tournament.

Lady Toppers fall 61-63 in fi rst home loss of seasonBY JONAH PHILLIPS [email protected]

The Lady Toppers dropped their second conference game in a week and first home game of the season on Saturday, fall-ing to Southern Mississippi 61-63 in Diddle Arena. They did so after notching a win over Louisiana Tech on Thurs-day.

Against Louisiana Tech, WKU (18-4, 7-2) shot 82.6 per-cent in the second half (miss-ing just four shots from the field) to come back from a 32-33 point deficit at halftime and win 82-66.

“I am just super proud of this group,” Head Coach Mi-chelle Clark-Heard said, after her team’s win over Louisi-ana Tech. “Coming out of the locker room at halftime we made some adjustments and changed some things defen-sively. Offensively, how they

were playing us, I wanted tokind of spread them out.”

The Lady Toppers could not carry that momentumthrough to Saturday, giv-ing up a six-point cushion athalftime, with Southern Missshooting 54.2 percent fromthe field. WKU led the game25-31 in the first half, but wasoutscored by eight points inthe second half.

“That’s a loss in the confer-ence. That’s what I’m worriedabout,” Clark-Heard said. “Atthe end of the day, that’s whatit’s about. You have to be ableto put yourself in the positionwhere you could take care ofbusiness in conference and onyour home floor.”

WKU (18-4, 7-2) shot just 3-of-12 from the free throw lineand just 6-of-23 from behindthe three-point arc in the loss.

The Lady Toppers watch the fi nal seconds of the game against Southern Mississippi, in Diddle Arena, on Friday, Jan. 31, 2015. WKU lost, with a fi nal score of 61-63. EMILY KASK/HERALD
