As Mary Jane King sat down at Starbucks recently, the heavy snow falling on campus comforted her.

She was comfort-ed by the snowfall because it reminded her of her boyfriend, Mark Borsz, and how he loved to play around in it with his friends. But as the snow fell it also sad-dened King, remind-ing her of Mark’s unexpected death

when his heart gave out during a run on Feb. 24.

Mark was a senior art student at the University and his friends and family remember him as someone who always focused on his artwork and helping others, but that didn’t stop him from being a “goofball” like he was when playing around in the snow.

“I can’t hate this weather now,” King said. “I love it because it reminds me of him.”

Although Mark liked to fool around with his friends, he took his artwork seriously. Once Mark figured out glass blowing was what he wanted to focus on, he was set for school, said Debbie Borsz, Mark’s mom.

“From what we heard and saw, he was really, really on track to become something good,” Debbie said.

From simple glasses to ray guns and castles, Mark always tried to improve upon his artwork, never settling for a piece of work with a slight scratch or indentation, Debbie said. Along with his drive for perfection, Mark also presented his work with a sense of modesty, she said.

“He had no idea how talented he really was,” his mom said. “He’d always say ‘I can’t let you keep this one Mom because it’s got this prob-lem or this problem.’ He always downplayed his work.”

While Mark had promised to blow a set of wine glasses for his mom and dad, he never got around to it. Instead, Debbie is keeping a glass Mark made that she calls “beauti-

US SEN. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) speaks in support of raising the federal minimum wage at Grounds for Thought in downtown Bowling Green on Tuesday morning.

By Danae KingCampus Editor

Wood County is beginning to address a need that has been ignored nationally— the need of a population labeled as youths and young adults in transition.

Youths and young adults in tran-sition are people ages 16 to 24 who are possibly not enrolled in school and may be between children’s ser-vices and adult services, said Janelle LaFond, executive director of the Wood County Children’s Resource Center.

“A lot of kids turn 18 and say they’re going to live alone and … are basically homeless,” LaFond said.

Students and local residents could see a boost in their paychecks during the next few years, barring the approval of a U.S. Senate bill seeking to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10.

Using his Grounds for Thought coffee shop as a backdrop, local business owner Kelly Wicks joined Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and local mother Carrie Day to advocate for such a bill.

The three spoke to a crowd of nearly 75 people in support of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013, which would raise Ohioans’ minimum wage by $2.25 from the current $7.85 mark. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) earlier this month, would raise the minimum wage incre-mentally to $10.10 by 2015.

Brown dismissed criticisms that the bill would lead to fewer jobs and higher inflation, adding that the U.S. continuing to move in a progressive

direction is a positive step for the country.“It’s a myth that it costs jobs,” Brown said. “Minimum wage that keeps up

with inflation is good for our country.”Rather than hurting the economy, Brown contends the bill would bring

$30 billion into the market because workers would spend their extra money back into the economy.

Describing the current minimum wage as being “behind the times,” Michael Hart, a sophomore, said the increase could help struggling college students.

“It’s hurting college students who are trying to pay tuition,” Hart said. “[Brown] is just trying to steer Wood County in the right direction.”

Supporting the minimum wage increase as a small business owner makes sense to improve working conditions for his employees, Wicks said. With higher wages, members of the community would be able to more

The contract, which is the first ever negotiated between fac-

ulty and the University admin-istration, will be posted on the Faculty Association’s website as well as the University’s web-site.

“We have to educate the faculty and the administra-tion about the contract,” said David Jackson, president of the

Faculty Association. “In the beginning there’s going to be some confusion, I mean, it’s a 150 page, single-spaced docu-ment.”

After posting the contract, the association will allow its members to study the docu-ment until the week of April

Christopher to leave University for Xavier

The Xavier University Athletics department introduced Greg Christopher, BG’s current direc-tor of athletics, as their new director of athletics Tuesday afternoon.

Christopher has been the University’s athletic director since 2006, overseeing the opening of the Stroh Center, a women’s basketball Sweet 16 run in the NCAA tournament and three bowl game appearances from the football program.

His last day will be May 2 and he is expected to start at Xavier later that month. A replacement has yet to be named.

“I am grateful for the opportunity that I’ve had to serve our University and student-athletes,” Christopher said in a press release. “While I am excited about the move to Xavier, I will miss an incredible group of people that made going to work something I looked forward to each day.”

Christopher was also a member of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions and served as the chair of the Mid-American Conference’s Athletic

Directors’ Council. Along with that, Christopher also served in a

four-year term on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Committee.

A native of West Lafayette, Ind., Christopher spent the previous 10 years working at Purdue University before coming to the University, according to his biography on the athletics website.

During Christopher’s tenure at the University, several major projects were completed. The Sebo Center opened in 2007, featuring sports medicine and rehabilitation facilities. The building also serves as a strength and conditioning area for the University’s student-athletes.

During his seven years, he also oversaw renova-tions to the Ice Arena, Steller Field and Whittaker Track, as well as the construction of the Keefe Tennis Complex and the Stroh Center. In 2012, the Stroh Center hosted the first round of the women’s NCAA tournament.

“Greg Christopher has had a major leadership role in the University and in building a strong repu-tation for BGSU in the MAC and nationally,” said President Mary Ellen Mazey in a press release. “We will miss him greatly but know that he will have an outstanding future at Xavier.”

USG president, vice president to host open forum

Running unopposed for Undergraduate Student Government president and vice president for the 2013-14 academic year doesn’t stop Alex Solis and David Neely from reaching out to students.

In place of the usual debate, USG President Solis and Vice President Neely will host an open forum to inform students about their reelection campaign. The forum is Thursday at 6 p.m. in Union 315, Neely announced at Monday’s gen-eral assembly meeting.

“This will give students, student

leaders, faculty and staff a chance to come in and ask questions,” Solis said.

The forum will be similar to a town hall meeting, with anyone pres-ent having the opportunity to ask any question they have, Neely said.

“We’re giving every community member their chance to voice their opinion,” he said. “We feel confident we can answer students’ questions accurately and fairly.”

The questions asked will not be prepared, Neely added.

“Even though there’s still no for-mal competition, we’re still dedicated students,” Solis said. “You want to keep the ride going and engage the students.”

The forum is not for Solis and Neely to highlight this year’s accom-plishments, but focus on the goals for

next year, Solis said.Neely hopes to see as many as 50

students attend the event.“The best way to make sure stu-

dents are engaged and taking in the information is to talk to them face to face,” he said. “Our biggest thing now is having students know to vote still.”

With voting beginning next Monday, the running mates also encouraged students to vote for those running for a senate position in USG, as they’re the student voice too.

“They’re your representatives [to the administration] for the entire year,” Neely said.

Voting for all USG positions begins next Monday, April 1, and runs through April 4.

Students can vote on the University website home page.

Student group continues to push for greener campus

The Environmental Action Group announced in a press conference Tuesday afternoon that President Mary Ellen Mazey denied the group’s request for 100 percent clean energy.

EAG members and some admin-istrators who support the group met with Mazey on Tuesday morning to discuss the efforts of their campaign to transition the University to use clean

energy sources by 2020.“We the students are very disap-

pointed that President Mazey won’t take this opportunity to lead our University in the right direction,” Madison Thomas, who attended the meeting with Mazey, said in a press release. “She isn’t saying no to Environmental Action Group. She’s saying no to the 2,700 students who have signed our petition and the 14 student organizations that have signed onto our coalition letter.”

Mazey stated the goal was not realis-tic enough and emphasized the need for further research, Brooke Scarborough said during the press conference.

Although Mazey has denied the

group’s proposal, the group will not give up, Scarborough said.

“The students are disappointed, but not discouraged,” she said. “They will continue to pressure the University’s leaders to act and will show the strength through vast student support they have received thus far.”

Environmental Action Group President Josh Chamberland also made a statement about the group’s next step.

“We are going to continue to show President Mazey the overwhelming student support,” Chamberland said. “It is ambitious and we know that ... if we plan for it, we can definitely make it happen.”

ful.” Mark’s work is still on

display for students to see in the Fine Arts Building for the Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibit.

Another person who was able to hold onto a piece of Mark’s artwork was his friend, Shane Brown.

Brown agreed with Debbie that Mark was always very focused and hard-working on his art-work and other activities he had going on.

“He was constantly working on something, but it never seemed to wear him down,” Brown said. “It was kind of amazing.”

Brown met Mark when he moved onto campus for his freshman year. Brown expected him to be a ruth-less resident adviser but instead found a caring and funny friend in Mark.

“He was just one of those people you could talk to about anything,” Brown said.

As a new student, Brown looked up to Mark as his RA and that continued this year when Brown became Mark’s roommate in an off-campus residence.

“In that sense he was kind of fatherly and broth-erly to me,” Brown said. “If your back was ever up against the wall, no matter what he had going on, he was there for you.”

Like Brown, King found

that Mark constantly seemed to put others before himself. One time, Mark even enrolled in an early morning Ballroom Dancing class with King, despite the fact that his classes and time to work on projects kept him up late at night.

Although the two decid-ed to drop the class later in the semester, King said she was still impressed with the little amount of sleep Mark got and his ability to stay focused on his art-work while waking up at 8:30 a.m. to dance with her.

“I’m going to hold onto that memory for the rest of my life,” she said. “I am so proud of him for his glass-work and who he was.”

easily support school levies, local businesses and other city endeavors, Wicks said.

“It makes no sense for a business owner to drive a Lexus if his workers can’t afford a car,” Wicks said.

Following Brown and Wicks at the podium, Day spoke of her struggle to sup-port two daughters on a mini-mum wage salary.

“If we made more, we could pay bills and pay babysitters,” Day told the crowd. “We don’t need a lot to be happy, we just need enough.”

Brown, one of 26 cospon-sors for the bill, hopes enough means a near 30 percent increase to Ohio’s mini-mum wage, $7.85 an hour for non-tipped workers, set by the state’s Department of Commerce for this year.

An Ohio employee working 40 hours per week on mini-

mum wage currently makes around $15,600 a year. With the increase to $10.10 per hour, the same worker would see their annual pay jump by nearly $5,500.

With a U.S. Congress whose annual pay is listed at $174,000, the median net worth of the 535 members of Congress is an estimated $966,000, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Asked if this means Congressional opposition should be categorized as wealthy and “out of touch” or as mere economic policy dif-ferences, Brown acknowledged the difference in perspectives.

“Sometimes, Washington D.C. speaks with an upper class accent,” Brown told The BG News. “I hope [Congress] listens to the people.”

Even with broad American support for raising the fed-eral minimum wage, with 71 percent of a Gallup survey this month approving such a

measure, Brown said meet-ing with constituents about the issue will help signal Congress they need to act.

Sophomore Morgan Holliger of the College Democrats said direct appeal to citizens from legislators like at Grounds for Thought helps improve political participation and awareness of issues.

“There’s a lot of misun-derstanding,” she said of the minimum wage proposal.

Months after losing a state representatives race, Wicks said he still hopes to main-tain political activism within Grounds for Thought and the community.

“Grounds for Thought has always been the source of political discourse,” Wicks said. “That’s the role of a cof-fee shop.”

“Power corrupts, and abso-lute power corrupts abso-lutely.”

When British born Lord Acton penned this phrase, he may as well have been talking of essentially any person who attains any level of power.

The concept is not dif-ficult and takes little to defend. This idea is, how-ever, not universal.

The topic of this exami-nation in history is about two men who upon reach-ing the height of their power, gave it up. While these men are not the perfect or “ideal” leader we see in the fictional Captain America, they are about as close as a mortal man can be.

First, a look at the lesser known of two historical figures. Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was a fifth century B.C. former Roman console who had retired from politics to farm his estate. When Rome was being invaded by outside nations, he was called upon to take the most pow-erful position available to a Roman—dictator.

The position was only granted in times of imme-diate danger to Rome and for a maximum of six months or until the threat was subdued, whichev-er came first. After lead-ing his Roman forces to a swift victory, Cincinnatus went about mercifully pardoning much of the enemy before returning to Rome. Upon his return, he quickly quenched senato-rial fears of him retaining his supreme power when he willingly stepped aside. By doing so, he became a legend among his Roman brethren and later an inspiration for future lead-ers, including Washington.

George Washington is a figure who requires little introduction. Receiving titles like the “First American” or “Father of his country” will tend to carry ones name through the ages.

As a leader, Washington is unrivaled. He was a bril-liant military commander who fought off the vast-ly superior British forces. Washington also exhibited the necessary oratory skills to elicit his forces to con-tinue to freeze to death at Valley Forge in the pursuit of freedom.

In death, Washington’s qualities continued to surface. It is said that as a child he cut down his father’s cherry tree. When asked about this, young Washington quickly admit-ted guilt and that he “could not tell a lie.”

These qualities, however, pale in comparison to what Washington would do in the later period of his political life. After defeating King George III in the American war for Independence, Washington’s peers nomi-nated him to be the first King of America. It was at this point Washington defied Lord Acton’s state-ment of power corrupting. Washington stated that he had not fought off King George III to become King George I.

As if this completely self less action was not enoug h, Washing ton later set the example of Presidents only running for two terms, another source of voluntarily giv-ing up ones powers.

Ci nci n nat us a nd Washington are prime examples of incredibly effective leaders whose true legacies hinged on decisions to abstain from the temp-tations of absolute power. Their prerogative as lead-ers of their countrymen was to the benefit of the state. While many leaders want to see their nations thrive, a common flaw many experi-ence is the desire for per-sonal glory. Acting as his Achilles heel, the pursuit for personal glory was ulti-mately the end of one of the world’s greatest politicians; but that is a story for next time.

Respond to Greg atthenews@bgnews.com

Has there ever been a time in your life where you feel as if you have absolutely no one to turn too? If you haven’t, imagine if every-one who has listened to you is not there to listen anymore.

If you have had a moment like this, what was something you did to release yourself from this terrible burden?

Was it simply just jot-ting down your emotions on a piece of paper? Or, was it something much more?

Many people have dif-ferent ways to express their emotions, whether through a piece of paper, verbal communication with another person or posting a comment to

your favorite social media network.

As I was writing this column I stopped and thought to myself, “Posting my personal business to a social media network for everyone to see would be the last thing I’d do,” however, in recent months (because of posting their most per-sonal thoughts, emotions and information), social media networks have recently saved the lives of many teenagers and young adults.

Many people find them-selves revealing personal emotions and thoughts within these social media networks when they have no one else to confide in.

According to Yahoo! News, Noah Brocklebank, a seventh-grade boy, con-fessed his plan of suicide

on Instagram. He posted revealing pictures of cuts on his arm with a disturb-ing caption stating: “Day of scheduled suicide: Feb. 8, 2013, my birthday.”

Brocklebank was later hospitalized for depres-sion and anxiety. During h is hospita l i zat ion, Brocklebank’s mother created an awareness page on Facebook seek-ing letters for Noah’s 13th birthday, hoping to gain support.

She opened a P.O. Box thinking she would only receive a few letters, how-ever, she received thou-sands of letters for Noah.

Months later, letters were still pouring in from all over globe, including Antarctica.

One post on a social network saved and sup-ported his life.

If he had not posted his personal emotions, something bad could have resulted from his depression and anxiety disorders.

I am not support-ing that turning to your favorite social media net-work during a crisis is the best solution for a prob-lem, but it is better than nothing.

A cry for help is the only thing needed for a voice to be heard and a life to be saved.

If anyone sees some-thing in the social media network that does not seem like it belongs there, report it to someone who can help that person. Life is too precious.

The next team to challenge the BG women’s basketball team in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament will be the Drexel University Dragons from the Colonial Athletic Association.

Like BG, the Drexel women’s basketball team currently boasts a 24-10 record on the season and has a tradition of post-season appearances.

The Dragons have been invit-ed to the WNIT every season since the 2009-10 season and made it to the NCAA tournament in the 2008-09 season.

However, their success in

the post-season has been less than favorable. In 2009-10, the Dragons lost their final four reg-ular season games and the first game of the CAA tournament, but still received an invitation to the WNIT. Drexel was matched against East Carolina University in the first round, but lost 78-76 in overtime.

The following season, the 19-12 Dragons received a WNIT invitation after losing to North Carolina-Wilmington in the second round of the CAA tour-nament. They were matched against the Florida Gulf Coast

In sports, there is nothing more arbitrary, yet effective than home field advantage.

Regardless of either team’s tal-ent, where the game is held always seems to make some sort of differ-ence. There is no other sport where this is more relevant than soccer.

I know, this is America. Soccer is a forethought behind first-, sec-ond- and third-thought. However, when the United States national team welcomed Costa Rica for a World Cup Qualifier, the advantage was actually considered too great.

In many countries, visiting fans don’t just sit in different sections, they are literally fenced off with riot-guards to separate hooligans. This isn’t seen here in the States as soccer isn’t as much of a livelihood.

A game that is so simple, where all is required is a ball and any two objects you can find to mark off goal posts, is played profession-ally in every country on the planet. That isn’t an exaggeration – it is literally played in every nation, every nation-state and every state despite first-world or third-world status. The Vatican even fields a team despite having just one per-manent resident.

What I am trying to say is that soccer is that one sport that where your play really can affect an outcome. Whether it’s Iceland or the Sahara, from the rainy fields of Scotland to the permafrost of Greenland, players must be used to any environment.

Apparently Costa Rica didn’t understand this memo. The other

day, the Central American nation requested FIFA to repeal the United States’ 1-0 victory and to force the game to be replayed.

The game in question was played in nearly blizzard condi-tions which resulted in a slow-paced game. The game was called to a halt in the 55th minute to discuss whether or not to call the game. The captains elected to fin-ish the game.

I have watched a lot of soccer games and I have played in many more and I have never, ever seen a game stopped. I have played in six inches of snow as well as puddles of water, and despite the messy play, the game always goes on.

It is a purist mentality that hasn’t changed in forever. FIFA has the smallest rule book of any sport and the clock is never stopped regardless of play. This has angered many-a-player, yet this is the game we grew up on.

So when Costa Rica felt that snow was crippling them with a loss, FIFA dismissed the claim. In a round-a-bout way, Costa Rica was told to deal with it.

The United States never com-plains when it has to play Mexico in Azteca – the one stadium revered as possessing the great-est home-field advantage of any team in any sport. Mexico simply doesn’t lose at home, and certainly not to the United States. It took the United States 99 years to gather a win in Azteca.

By the time you will be read-ing this the United States will have played Mexico in Azteca on Tuesday night. I cannot predict the score, but what I can say is that the few American fans that

The Falcon softball team will put their four-game win streak to the test as they travel to Big-10 powerhouse Michigan on Wednesday.

“I think we are in a pretty good spot,” coach Shannon Salsburg said. “We are defi-nitely using more kids and going deeper than we ever have before”

The No. 14 Wolverines will be the final opponent the Falcons will see before starting Mid-American Conference play. BG sits atop the MAC with a 12-7 record.

“We always talk about that our season is a marathon not sprint,” Salsburg said. “So

we’re going to look at the MAC the same way.”

Michigan sits in third in the Big-10 with a 24-7 record, having played 12 more games than the Falcons. BG has had 11 games canceled due to weather including its home opener.

The 12 games have made a large difference statistically between the two teams. The Wolverines have scored 196 runs compared to the Falcons’ 54. Michigan averages 6.3 runs a game while BG is scoring 2.8.

The Falcons are 5-29 in the all-time series with Michigan, including 0-4 under Salsburg and will play just one game Wednesday.

This past season, the Falcons

lost 12-2 in Ann Arbor despite finishing the season with one of the best MAC records.

“We’re going up to win,” Salsburg said. “We obviously have to play a very good game to make that happen but we believe we can.”

The Falcons are coming off a two game sweep of Wright State and look to improve their win streak to five games.

Michigan is coming off a shutout win over Purdue, 9-0. The bats have been hot for UM and the team is hitting for a .314 average.

“I think anytime that you can practice with a team of that caliber and get after them in a game, it’s all good,” Salsburg said.

make the brave trip will sit in the upper decks secluded from the rest of the El Tri supporters.

Azteca is widely known for holding over 100,000 fans that use laser pointers to dis-tract keepers, foil to reflect sunlight, smoke, streamers and even thrown bags of

excrement. I’m serious.I saw the United States

play Mexico in Columbus in 2008 and I witnessed a tequila bottle thrown at Landon Donovan as he pre-pared to take a corner kick.

Despite all this, the United States has never asked FIFA to replay a game. It isn’t “soccer” to do so – and that isn’t crazy or abnormal to soccer purists, this is our normal.

The BG baseball team probably wishes it joined the Cleveland Indians, who are play-ing spring games in Goodyear, Ariz.

As it stands, more wintry Ohio weather cancelled Tuesday’s game against Wright State, marking the fifth game rained, snowed or wind-blown out this season.

This marks the most cancelled or postponed games for BG baseball since 2011, when a full 10 games were nixed from the schedule.

The team will travel to Central Michigan University this weekend to play the Chippewas in a three-game series. Friday’s game will start at 3:05 p.m. with first pitch in the last two games at 2:05 p.m. and 1:05 p.m. respectively.

April 20th

By Kendra ClarkWeb Editor

Students, faculty and staff will dance the weekend away starting, April 6 for Dance Marathon.

The purpose of Dance Marathon is to raise money for the children’s hospital in Toledo through the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, said senior Megan Leiss, direc-tor of Dance Marathon. Students will stand for a total of 36 hours to raise the money — from Saturday at 10 a.m. to Sunday at 6 p.m.

Students had to register and raise more than $100 before being eligible to become a dancer. However, the deadline has already past for registration.

The theme for this year is “Superheroes are powered by heroes,” Leiss said.

Leiss couldn’t release how much money they raised thus far for Dance Marathon. However, the organization had a mini-marathon this past Sunday where teens from local high

schools came and danced for six hours. They raised a total of $22,358.23 that day for Dance Marathon.

“Last year, we raised about $225,000 from Dance Marathon,” Leiss said.

Senior Cullin Fish is the public relations chair this year, but last year he was a morale captain.

“It was life changing,” Fish said. “Being a morale captain, you become the energy of the event.”

Fish was one of the 18 morale captains last year, each of them divided into teams of two.

He was a morale captain for the red team, and the event left a mark on his life.

“It’s great to see college kids giving up a weekend to help raise money for kids they will never know or meet,” Fish said.

Senior Tabitha Timbrook, faculty, staff and gradu-ate student relations chair, was also a morale captain last year.

“Da nce Ma rat hon inspired me,” Timbrook said. “I got to see what sim-

ple college students could do and make a difference in someone’s life.”

This year, there are an estimated 500 students participating, Leiss said.

“There will be three dif-ferent comedians to start off,” Leiss said. “Then there will be a superhero costume contest, where miracle children will come out with costumes of their own.”

An inspirational speaker will come and speak to the dancers after the contest.

“He will come to remind them why they stand,” Leiss said.

Leiss was unable to pro-vide who will be speaking and performing.

salaries for positions such as full professor, assistant professor and instructor, among others, according to a brief contract sum-mary from the BGSU-FA.

In terms of raises, the contract will give faculty members a combined 6.5 percent raise for both the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 academic years, which will come in each faculty member’s May 20 pay-check, according to the contract summary. The contract will also give fac-ulty the security of a 3 percent raise for the next three academic years.

“There’s still plenty of work to do but at least now the faculty know what is planned,” Jackson said.

The work Jackson is referring to includes final-ization of the contract and a vote by the Board of Trustees to approve the contract.

While the administra-tion previously called for an emergency meeting for the board to approve the contract, the board like-ly won’t vote on it until its May 3 meeting, said Patrick Pauken, secretary to the board and chief contract negotiator for the administration.

With the Facult y Association’s vote fall-ing two weeks before the board’s meeting, the short difference in time is one of a few reasons why the

board will not meet early, Pauken said.

“It would be pretty diffi-cult to get the board togeth-er earlier so we’re pleased that it doesn’t look like we’ll have to,” Pauken said dur-ing a phone interview.

Although the board’s approval may not come until its May meeting, the initial announcement of the agreement may have even prevented a strike.

“It was our nuclear deterrent,” Jackson said. “Just like any country, you never want to have to use it but we were prepared to and that wasn’t an easy decision to make.”

Along with preventing a strike, the agreement will also award the retroactive 6.5 percent raise for the past two academic years to the 100 faculty mem-bers cut in January.

Student supporters of the Faculty Association, such as sophomore Michael Hart, were happy to hear that the 100 cut faculty members would benefit from the new con-tract. Hart was involved in the BGSU-FA’s March on McFall protest of the cuts in February.

“I think the adminis-tration heard the student voice,” Hart said. “It just shows that the adminis-tration is heading in the right way.”

Despite the contract’s inclusion of the 100 fac-ulty members, the Faculty Association is still attempt-ing to separately negotiate the cuts with the adminis-

tration, Jackson said.With the contract’s

impending approval, the administration and asso-ciation will soon end a larger battle that started nearly four years ago when the first faculty members took an interest in form-ing a union.

With what the Faculty Association has con-sidered a lengthy nego-tiation, the possibility of forming a contract has also been threatened by legislation such as Senate Bill 5, Jackson said. If fully implemented, the bill could have prevented union members in Ohio from using their rights to collective bargaining.

But, with four years of discussion, protest and tension behind them, members of the admin-istration and the Faculty Association are happy they’ve reached a “mutu-ally beneficial” agree-ment, Pauken and Jackson said.

“It’s a relief and over-all, we’re pretty satisfied,” Jackson said.

Besides being satisfied that negotiations are fin-ished, Pauken is happy that the agreement seems to have brought the fac-ulty and administration together, while also pre-serving the ideals of the University.

“BGSU didn’t get lost in the whole process and we’ve come to realize that we’re all faculty at heart,” Pauken said. “That’s not a bad thing either.”

The CRC is addressing the needs of these young adults in one way by open-ing a Young Adult Resource Center. The center, which is open now, is a branch of the CRC, a community mental health center for children, adolescents and their fami-lies, and is located behind Panera Bread on Main Street in Bowling Green.

The resource center is a drop-in center for youths and young adults to come in and hang out, LaFond said.

Equipped with a flat-screen TV, books, mini-fridge, microwave, pool table, ping pong table and soon, computers, the cen-ter is meant to help young adults with activities like finding jobs, housing and connecting them with other resources to help them, said Steve Jackson, youth and young adults in transition program coordi-nator at CRC.

“What I want most is for this to be the ideal place for a young adult to visit and feel comfortable being here,” Jackson said. “Not only for fun and games and activities, but also for the educational and supportive resources.”

Kevin Young, 19, agrees with LaFond that the center is a place to just hang out.

Young sees it as a place where people will be “hav-ing fun, feeling safe and being able to be them-selves.”

The center is not only for drop-ins — it will also host programs to prepare youths and young adults for life challenges, Jackson said.

The first program the center will host is called Personal Responsibility Education Program, Jackson said.

“[We will] discuss things regarding … healthy rela-tionships, financial lit-eracy, education, employ-

ment preparation skills and healthy life skills, such as goal-setting and stress management,” Jackson said.

While using the center is free, LaFond said it is not like a teen center.

“We want to help sort out what [visitors] need,” LaFond said. “It’s a meeting place for clients. Come in, sit down and talk to us.”

The need for a place like the center was identified by a County-Wide Assessment of the Needs of Transitional Youth, LaFond said.

“It really gave us the information that that was really a population that was in need,” she said.

The assessment was done by the University Psychological Services Center.

Eric Dubow, profes-sor of Psychology at the University, was asked as a representative of the Psychological Services Center to do the needs assessment of the county. Needs assessments are done periodically to try and get a handle on the needs of the county, Dubow said.

To find the needs of young adults, Dubow, with Bill Donnelly, adjunct clini-cal psychology faculty at the University, and gradu-ate students, tried to get a sense of what kinds of needs transitional youths have.

Transitional youths are hard to find or get ahold of because of the nature of the way they live. They are transient, Dubow said. In order to define their needs, Dubow and Donnelly

talked to professionals in the county who provide services to transitional youths, Dubow said. They also found and surveyed 23 transitional youth, Dubow said.

“Some concerns [of this group] are lack of finan-cial resources, lack of transportation or unreli-able transportation, lack of knowledge about available services, lack of budgeting skills, which impact the ability to maintain housing and living independently, and perceived stigma,” Dubow said.

After age 18, there is a gap in services between youths and adults, he said.

“It’s a different system, different philosophy, eligi-bility criteria,” Dubow said. “So trying to navigate that system change is an issue for 18-to-24 year olds.”

An issue the Young Adult Resource Center will hope-fully be able to fix, LaFond said.

“[It will be] providing a place for those kids who are kind of stuck and not able to make the transition into adulthood by themselves,” she said.

This isn’t a new problem, it has just been unaddressed, Donnelly said. It is also not specific to Wood County, it’s a nationally emerging issue, Donnelly said.

“[In] most social services the emphasis is placed on adolescents and adults,” Jackson said. “We wanted to include in our focus servic-es geared to young adults, because they’re missing out in a sense.”

YOUNG ADULT RESOURCE CENTER HOURS: Monday: 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.Tuesday and Wednesday: 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.Thursday: ClosedFriday: 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

*Hours according to Steve Jackson. These are temporary hours, they will be expanded in a few weeks, after the center’s grand opening.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY:The center will welcome volunteers soon, if interested in volun-teering contact Steve Jackson at 419-352-7588 ext. 263.
