Atop the hill, Thompson Complex
North Wing lies in ruins after demolition over winter break.
Bryan Russell, chief facilities officer,
said the North Wing will be completely 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 colleges on campus.
“We are optimistic about the modern learning the new labs and classrooms will promote,” said Cheryl
Stevens, dean of the Ogden College of
Science and Engineering. “The building 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 Sciences building debuted in 2004, followed 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 Complex is the final project in this ongoing ‘master plan.’ Construction on the
new building will begin in the later
part of 2015.
Before construction begins, a process called programming has to occur. Programming is the design process 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 project is on schedule, Russell said.
Not only is the project on schedule,
but the $48 million state-funded project is under budget.
The money will also be spent on
renovating Thompson Complex Central Wing.
The new building replacing Thomp-

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 floor tiles, roofs and wiring,” said
Russell. “So we had to rid that hazardous waste from the premise properly.”
The Planning, Design and Construction department worked closely
with the university and community
in recycling and breaking down of the

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 first 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 order to flourish in a modern economy.
The proposal, called America's College Promise, would waive tuition for
the first two years of community college, provided that students maintain a 2.5 grade point average, attend
school at least half-time and "make
steady progress toward completing
their program" according to whitehouse.gov.

Hilltoppers notch 73-62 win over Southern Miss
BY JONAH PHILLIPS
SPORTS@WKUHERALD.COM
The Hilltoppers’ nine-game winning streak was snapped by Louisiana Tech on Thursday night, with a
score of 69-56. The team rebounded 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 overall, 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 Hilltopper 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, Conference USA released its preseason
baseball coaches’ poll and awards, last
Wednesday. WKU was picked to finish
ninth in its inaugural season in the 12team conference.
WKU matched or bested its predicted order of finish in five of its last
seven seasons in the Sun Belt Conference, including both the 2013 and
2014 seasons. The top eight finishers
in the regular-season standings qualify for the double-elimination C-USA
Baseball Championship in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Though the team was not picked to
finish in the top half of the league, senior first baseman Ryan Church was
selected to the Preseason All-Conference 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 average with runners in scoring position,
in his first season on the Hill.
He headlines a 2015 Hilltopper offense 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 percent of its extra-base hits.
Defending C-USA Champion and
preseason No. 13 Rice was unanimously selected to win the league
crown again this year. The Owls feature one of NCAA's premier pitchers
in junior All-American lefty Blake Fox.
Rice has either won the C-USA regular-season or tournament title in nine
consecutive seasons.
League coaches voted Fox as the Preseason 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.

WKU experiences revenue growth, officials to monitor budget

The university experienced revenue growth
this year, which university officials hope will stabilize 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 Office of the State Budget Director released data that indicated strong income
growth for WKU in November, but a slight decline in December.
She said the university finished the past six
months of the fiscal 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

The Lady Toppers watch the final seconds of the game against Southern Mississippi, in Diddle Arena,
on Friday, Jan. 31, 2015. WKU lost, with a final score of 61-63. EMILY KASK/HERALD
*Numbers represent millions
The Lady Toppers dropped
their second conference game
in a week and first home game
of the season on Saturday, falling to Southern Mississippi
61-63 in Diddle Arena. They
did so after notching a win
over Louisiana Tech on Thursday.
Against Louisiana Tech,
WKU (18-4, 7-2) shot 82.6 percent in the second half (missing just four shots from the
field) to come back from a 3233 point deficit at halftime and
win 82-66.
“I am just super proud of
this group,” Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said, after
her team’s win over Louisiana Tech. “Coming out of the
locker room at halftime we
made some adjustments and
changed some things defensively. Offensively, how they
were playing us, I wanted to
kind of spread them out.”
The Lady Toppers could
not carry that momentum
through to Saturday, giving up a six-point cushion at
halftime, with Southern Miss
shooting 54.2 percent from
the field. WKU led the game
25-31 in the first half, but was
outscored by eight points in
the second half.
“That’s a loss in the conference. That’s what I’m worried
about,” Clark-Heard said. “At
the end of the day, that’s what
it’s about. You have to be able
to put yourself in the position
where you could take care of
business in conference and on
your home floor.”
WKU (18-4, 7-2) shot just
3-of-12 from the free throw line
and just 6-of-23 from behind
the three-point arc in the loss.

WKU recently received an ArbNet
Accreditation
by The

American Public Gardens Association

“This

Martin Stone, associate professor of
Horticulture and director of the Baker

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

and provides three credit hours for several areas of study, including film, English and pop culture.
Both professors agreed the previous
academic preparation would pale in
comparison to the real-world experience gained from attending the festival.
“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 experience,” 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

Students inspired by Sundance Film Festival trip
BY ANDREW HENDERSON
NEWS@WKUHERALD.COM
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 participated in a Study Away to the Sundance
Film Festival in Park City, Utah this
past January.
There were 14 students who experienced 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 assistant professor of English Dawn Hall.
Hall and Hovet said this was their second 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

Bowling Green police are investigating hazing allegations made by a former student involving the WKU swim
team.
Collin Craig, who was a freshman
from Meadow Vista, California during 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 filed on Jan. 6
via email. The incidents took place
off-campus, according to the police
report.
Ronnie Ward, public information officer for the Bowling Green Police Department, said the investigation is in
its infancy.
"The allegations are that there was
