Bilkenters Can Help Conserve Water
The water issue in Ankara has been a great concern for a
number of months now. Over the summer, some areas of the city were without water for
several days at a time, partly due to a pipeline burst. Buildings with water tanks were
less affected, but those without private reservoirs had a difficult time.
Rumors are rampant as to what could happen in the coming months. Some will say that Ankara
has 40 days of water left. Someone else might provide a different answer. Furthermore,

Judges Ready to Hammer Down!
 The Judges are pumped
up and ready to take the American Football championship! The team has started preparing
for the new season, with their first meeting taking place October 2. I had the opportunity
to interview offense captain Oğuz Karataş (IAED), and Demirhan Öztürk (PS). They
explained the issues with the previous regulations for American Football teams and the
changes that have been made.
In the past two years, the Judges were playing against pro teams with players that were

games. As Oğuz stated, The Judges could lead the game for the first two periods, but they
couldn't keep the momentum going through because they were not as experienced as the
opponents. (continues)
