Sophomore Nick North is a Falcon fan who wears his heart and spirit on his sleeve – almost literally. North, who has been promoting the upcoming Falcon Friday,’ was on campus Saturday sporting an orange BGSU shirt, a brown hat and BGSU lanyard. Falcon Friday is a program by recently formed SPIRIT, Students Participating In Residential Initiatives and Traditions. The first Falcon Friday is slated for this Friday. The goal, North said, is to get as many students on campus to wear orange and brown as possible. SPIRIT, which was formed this semester, aims to get more students involved on campus by extending membership to resident advisers and hall directors. The resident advisers are being encouraged to incorporate the Ay Ziggy Zoomba fight song into the first floor meeting, along with the newly created Falcon handshake, the ‘Falcon Flap.’ The ‘Falcon Flap’ consists of two people, each hitting the back of their hand against the other, hitting the front of their hands, sliding their hands down the other person’s arm until reaching the elbow and then ‘flapping their arm like a falcon,’ North said. This Thursday North will be on campus wearing a full array of falcon gear – orange soccer socks, brown BGSU sweat pants, two BGSU shirts, a stuffed BGSU Falcon on his shoulder and an orange wig – ready to high five all of those in Falcon colors. ‘I’ve always been spirited,’ North said. ‘I was voted most spirited in high school, and I have high hopes for BG to be as spirited as some of the bigger schools.’ North will also be carrying around orange and brown duct tape and asking students wearing fan gear from other universities to cover up with some Falcon colors. Katie Goodlin, a resident adviser in Offenhauer Hall and member of SPIRIT, said the objective is to instill more school spirit at the University. ‘Spirit is about supporting your school on and off the field,’ she said. ‘It’s all around taking pride in where you go.’ Falcon Fridays are something that SPIRIT hopes to continue throughout the rest of this semester and through the fall to promote school spirit at the University. ‘The goal is to start getting students pumped up every Friday for things like athletic events and about being a falcon,’ North said. Loveda Van Der Molen, a SPIRIT member, said she wants to see more students with spirit on campus. ‘We really want to get more students to embrace their inner falcon,’ she said.
