The University is not an island. Il is surrounded by a community that plays a vital role in the University's survival and impacts it every day. "One thing that has been very evident |in our community Is] the downturn in enrollment at the University and with the University's eco- nomic problems,'' said Bowling Green mayor lohn Quinn. "When your No. 1 business is hurt- ing, then you are hurting too." Quinn said the downturn in enrollment has caused a vacancy rale within the city. He said students forget they inherit a city when they enroll at the University. Quinn, who is starting his 1 Ith year as mayor, has greeted students and parents at Orientation and Registration for the past five years. "Welcome to campus, but also welcome to a community, cause this is going to be a part of your life for the next few years," Quinn said. But students often don't realize they are a part of this community.

Hannah helps Alpha sorority sister Senior Tara Bolinger Photos by Christina McGinnis| Multimedia Editor Thursday night the sorority Omega Phi Alpha and the fraternity Alpha Phi Omega put on a '90s game night for the charity Hannah's Socks where the admission to the night was a new pair of socks. Ten-year-old Hannah Turner started the charity on Thanksgiving in 2004 when she was only four years old. She and her family were volunteering at the Toledo Cherry Street Mission when she noticed a homeless man with torn shoes and no socks. She decided he could have her socks because he needed them more then she did. The next day she and her mother went back to the shelter and donated 100 pairs of new socks and thus Hannah's socks was born. They now gather and donate socks to the needy all over the world, but they are more concentrated in Northwest Ohio where they have more than 13 dozen shelters to which they donate.
