Winter concert is Sunday
CMU’s Concert Band will present a winter concert Sunday, Dec. 11, at 4 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Student and Community Center. More than 70 students play in the band, which is conducted by Roy “Skip” Vandelicht, CMU’s director of bands and alumnus of the class of Vandelicht 1977. The band will be performing “Overture to Candide” by Bernstein, “Honey Boys on Parade” by Cupero, “Festive Songs of Christmas” by Erickson, “Jefferson Swing Concert March” by Tom Kampman, CMU class of 1954, “Joyance” by Claude T. Smith, also the class of 1954, “Waltz No. 2” by Shostakovich, and Bach’s “Fugue a la Gigue,” arranged by Holst. Kampman will attend this concert with his wife, Willa, an alumna from the class of 1956. He has been active in music since he graduated with a B.M.E. in voice. He earned his master’s degree from Indiana University and did summer stock in Indianapolis and St. Louis. He sang with Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians and was a member of “The Group” jazz trio. He also sang in clubs and on television, including the Perry Como Show of the 1950s and ‘60s. For 10 years he served as music director, arranger and conductor for Carousel Productions in Denver. Claude T. Smith wrote “Joyance” for the 1975 Central Methodist Band in honor of the 50th anniversary of Central’s Swinney Conservatory of Music. The Central band premiered the composition at the MENC Southwest Division Conference in Omaha. Smith died in 1987. This year marks the 101st anniversary of Central bands.

Processing millions, one student at a time For a person who is responsible for processing more than $33 million this year, Central Methodist University’s Kristen Gibbs keeps her focus on a much smaller number: One. Gibbs, the new financial assistance director at CMU, has a clear focus on serving each student, individually and personally. Every student’s circumstances are different, and the goal Gibbs has for her department is simply to make sure each one gets all the financial assistance he or she can. “People are sensitive about their financial aid package,” Gibbs said. “I want them to be confident we’re getting them all they’re eligible for.” College aid is highly regulated, with federal, state, and institutional guidelines to be strictly followed - and those rules change often. Last year, CMU processed over $33 million in student assistance, a figure sure to grow during the current year. The rules are voluminous and complex, and usually offer little or no flexibility. Knowing the rules is tough enough for Gibbs and her six full-time and one part-time staff members; for a student, the rules can seem overwhelming. “That’s (knowing the rules) our job,” Gibbs said matter-offactly. “We can’t expect anyone outside of the financial assis-
Kristen Gibbs New director of financial aid tance office to understand. “You can’t just tell a student ‘hey, these are the rules’,” she continued. “When the boundaries don’t meet a student’s needs, you look for other resources to help them out.” A native of Maysville and a resident of rural Fayette, Gibbs is accustomed to strict regulations and oversight: she spent the previous two-and-a-half years in banking in Callaway County. Before that she was an economist in Iowa and Nebraska. Gibbs is a University of Missouri graduate. That background “gave me both an understanding of financial fundamentals and a more in-depth understanding of how regulations are applied,” she
said. “I learned how to read and interpret complex documents, and how to interpret and manipulate data.” Yet the transition to higher education is a big leap. “I have to be like a sponge, soak up all I can,” Gibbs said. “Just listening to our staff talk about matters that are routine for them, I’m picking up on things. We’ll face headaches and problems, but we have a great staff - there isn’t anything we can’t work through.” Still, Gibbs admits there are days she goes home thinking “I hope I can remember everything I learned today.” Home includes husband Alex, an agronomist with Howard County-based Waterborne Environmental Co.,, and their threeyear-old daughter Addison. “Our biggest challenges are going to be those things we can’t control,” Gibbs said. “Family income, state funding for grant programs, and the uncertainties surrounding federal student aid” are the biggest unknowns facing student aid in the future, she notes. “The goal doesn’t change,” she said. “Our office tries to find sources of aid that will allow a student to attend Central Methodist University. There are lines we have to play within, but if someone doesn’t qualify in one area, we have to think outside the box.”

CMU nursing program receives 10-year reaccreditation CMU’s nursing program has received one of its most important stamps of approval: maximum 10-year reaccreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). CMU President Marianne Inman received word in late November of the approval.
“Both our bachelor’s and our master’s nursing programs have been approved by this national accrediting body,” Inman said. “It is wonderful to have this additional affirmation of the high quality of our nursing programs. “Many thanks to Professor Megan Hess, Professor Stephanie
Brink, Professor Angie Cornelius, all of our nursing faculty and many more, for exceptionally fine work,” she added. The CCNE is a national accrediting body based in Washington, D.C. It requires extensive reporting and documentation, as well as an on-campus visit by an
evaluation team, as part of the accreditation process. CMU has 70-80 pre-nursing students, 85 undergraduate nursing students in the traditional program, 190 students in its bachelor of science in nursing completion program, and 48 master’s degree-seeking nursing students now enrolled.

CMU weather policy noted With the first snowfall of the season already history, it’s a good time to remind students of CMU’s policy on canceling classes during inclement weather. Only the president, (or in the president’s absence, his/her designee, generally the academic dean), has the authority to do so. Suspending or canceling classes will be avoided except under the most extreme circumstances. Because the essential functions of the university must be provided at all times, campus operations will not be suspended in the event of severe weather and thus Central will not be closed. Announcements concerning class cancelation will be released via the public relations office. The decision will be posted on the CMU website and communicated through the following local television and radio stations.
KOMU-NBC Channel 8 KMIZ-ABC Channel 17 KRCG-CBS Channel 13 KTXY 106.9 FM KWRT 1370 AM KRES 104.7 FM The university recognizes that severe weather may affect an employee’s ability to travel to and from work. Employees should use discretion in attempting to travel when road conditions are poor. An employee choosing not to report to work should notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible. Vacation or personal time must be used when taking time off for bad weather. If the employee has missed four hours or less, because of a late arrival or early departure due to severe weather, the time can be made up as long as it is approved by the employee’s direct supervisor.
Where’s theBeef! By COLLIN BRINK Collegian Faculty Advisor
Here we are. The final installment of my column for the semester and I’ve gained only 15 pounds in doing the research necessary to bring you this information every two weeks. In closing this semester I decided to stay close to campus and discuss the Main Street Grill and Tavern on South Main in Fayette. (In my opinion, there are not enough restaurants or bars with the word tavern in the name, but that’s for another column.) Main Street may be remembered by some as Mike’s Smoke Pit Bar which is a mistake. Main Street is a smoke-free restaurant which makes the dining experience more enjoyable. I visited Main Street a couple of times and was impressed with the food. In one visit I had the Fire Burger which is a blackened burger with hot pepper cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and chipotle mayonnaise. All sandwiches come with chips, but I upgraded to French fries for a buck which made my total $7.50. The burger and fries were good, and the only problem I had was all the juice coming from the meat which is really not a problem other than it makes for a soggy bun. The Fire Burger is a great burger, and I recommend it to anyone who likes hot or spicy food. On a second visit I ordered Buffalo Chicken Bites. The buffalo bites are boneless Buffalo wings which I prefer because
it’s the same taste without the hassle of the bone. Why make life harder than it need be? The wings were hot and tasty, and I enjoyed the meal with a side of fries. I think Main Street should add a Buffalo bites and fries combination to the menu as an entrée instead of two separate selections. The Buffalo bites are $6.95, and a side order of fries are $3.75. The most expensive item on the menu is the $14.95 Double Colossal Burger and the $9.95 Fat Philly. Both of these sandwiches are for the ultra-hungry individual. For the more common person, the highest-priced item is the $7.50 McDaddy Burger. Most other burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers are in the $3.50 to $6.95 range. For the healthconscious customers, Main Street offers a house salad and a Caesar salad for $5.95 respectively. For dessert, a deep fried Twinkie for $2.95 is the only option on the menu, and I will leave determining whether it is good to you or your friends. An assortment of beverages is offered for your refreshment with your meal. The Main Street Grill and Tavern is a close place to get a good meal for a reasonable price where the staff is friendly and you don’t have to wash your clothes after you’re done. Now my only concern is I have to drop 15pounds during a time I historically eat too much. Who assigned me this column? Have a Merry Christmas and see you next semester.

Students will seek to stimulate local business in Fayette, Howard County A group of Central Methodist University business students is planning to step beyond the classroom to help stimulate business creation and job opportunities in Fayette and in Howard County. The CMU chapter of Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) has been awarded a $2,000 American Free Enterprise grant to coordinate, with the Fayette Chamber of Commerce, a workshop for Howard Countians considering starting up a new business. The students are working with Chamber officials to set a workshop date, most likely in February, note CMU-SIFE member and Project Manager Addie Layne (junior business major from Poplar Bluff). Those interested will work with business professionals, Chamber officials and CMU business students to learn about developing a business plan, marketing, legal structures, finance, accounting, and networking, noted CMU-SIFE Co-Advisor Amy Dykens. Chamber members will advise on how best to succeed in business in Howard County, Dykens noted. The event will includes participants making a brief “business pitch” to a panel of judges, with the best presentation receiv-
ing a cash prize and an individual business coaching session with a Chamber representative of their choice. One of the principal benefits to workshop attendees will be the development of a professionalquality business plan, with the hope some will act on it and launch a business in Howard County. Layne cited “the need for economic development and job creation” in Howard County, as well as the opportunity for CMU-SIFE students to gain valuable experience in business and event planning, as the reason their student organization chose this project. Students In Free Enterprise is an international non-profit organization with chapters on over 1,500 campuses in 40 countries. Leaders in business and higher education aim to mobilize students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. Co-Presidents of CMU-Sife are Meghan Barton (junior communication studies major from St. Louis) and Kaitlyn Eversmeyer (junior business major from Troy). Julie Bennett is CMUSIFE Co-Sam Walton Fellow along with Dykens.

THIS IS CUPPLES HALL as it appeared in the mid-1930s. Built in 1899, it originally was a men’s dormitory. After McMurry Hall was constructed in 1927 and Brannock Hall was reconfigured for administrative offices and classrooms, this building was converted for use as a library and continues to function in that capacity, with a major new wing constructed in 1968. A number of significant additions and improvements have been made in the years since. Jim Steele Lucas Manring
FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE (2011-2012) If course start time or course days do not correspond to these grids, consult instructor for assistance. Should a student have more than 3 final examinations scheduled on the same calendar date, the student may re-

It was Mike Kelly, Brecht Madalijns, Daniel Simmons, Derek Laxton, Calin Hantau, and myself. Quite a few plates into it we realized that it was a horrible idea. Brecht won with five plates, all filled with steak. Although, I think I won by default because I was the only one that didn’t throw up. It was a great night with some of the best friends I’ve made at this school.” Advice to Freshmen: “There’s a lot you’ll learn about yourself in college that doesn’t come in a classroom. Make the best of the time you have here, and don’t be afraid to get out and try something new. Find out what’s important to you and be the best at it.” Plans after Graduation: “After graduation I plan on continuing my running career while pursuing a masters in accounting.

Awards to CMU psychology students
NOW PLAYING: Waiting for Godot
FOUR CMU STUDENTS attended a recent statewide psychology conference and one of them, Kelli Handy (left), returned to campus with a first-place award. The seventh annual Missouri Undergraduate Psychology Conference last month was hosted by Westminster College. CMU Assistant Professor of Psychology Dr. Elizabeth Gold sponsored the student participation. It was the fourth year in a row CMU has been involved with MUPC, and Central students have earned awards in three of those years, Gold said. Handy, a senior psychology major from Independence, placed first in the Non-Emperical Poster category for her poster, “Influences on Adherence to Physiotherapy Treatment.” Also making presentations were CMU students Amanda Evans, senior, psychology major from Kearney (right),in addition to Adam Russo, senior, psychology major from Columbia. Anthony Kiprono, senior biology from Fayette, also took part in the conference.
SENIOR THEATRE ARTS MAJOR Josh Kirby from Armstrong is directing Samuel Beckett’s existential play “Waiting for Godot” at Central Methodist University this Friday and Saturday, Dec. 9-10, at 7:30 p.m. in The Little Theatre on campus. The play is free and open to the public. Alternately called theatre of the absurd and a tragicomedy, Waiting for Godot centers around two men who wait in a park for a mysterious figure named Godot who never shows up. It is presented in two acts, the second on a second day--much like the first. Only one character remembers everything that happened the day before. Waiting for Godot provides a great jumping-off spot for discussions of religion and philosophy, as well as the structure and purpose of plays in general.
Author Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1906. He first published an essay about his good friend James Joyce in 1951. Beckett went on to an exalted career and was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1969. He died in 1989. The cast for Waiting for Godot includes Jordan Brennan (senior theatre arts major from Marshall) as Vladimir; Ben Wilson (junior interdisciplinary studies major from Columbia) as Estragon; Aubrey Taylor (sophomore music major from Columbia) as Pozzo; Daniel Primm (senior history major from Coppell, Texas) as Lucky; and Jackie Hoffman (freshman nursing major from Naperville, Ill.) as Boy. Josh Kirby’s assistant director is Shamika Pegue (junior biology major from Kansas City). ABOVE: A rehearsal scene Wednesday evening.
Be ready for winter driving
Cold temperatures and winter precipitation are in the forecast, and that means it’s time to winterize your car. A video on the Missouri Department of Transportation’s YouTube site reviews the most important things to remember while getting your car ready for winter, from tires to antifreeze to what to pack for an emergency. The video is located at www. youtube.com/modotvideo. Here are some of the highlights:
• Check your tire pressure and tread condition. • Make sure your antifreeze is at proper levels. • Inspect the oil level and windshield wiper fluid. • Pack a small emergency kit in case of the unexpected. MoDOT also reminds motorists to check road conditions by consulting its Traveler Information Map at www.modot.org or by calling MoDOT Customer Service anytime at 1-888-ASKMODOT (888-275-6636)
Well-attended Campus Ministry Christmas party CMU’s second annual Campus Ministry Christmas party was held on Sunday, Dec. 4, from 7 to 9 p.m. Campus Chaplain Lucas Endicott and wife Shannon opened their home to nearly 40 Central students. Shannon prepared lots of food for the party — cranberry punch, hot chocolate, pigs in a blanket, mini-quiche, spinach-artichoke dip, Chex mix, crackers, cheese, summer sausage, cream puffs, peanut brittle, peppermints, M&Ms, and
Clementines. Around 8 p.m. a Christmas trivia game was played, Jeopardy!-style. Questions came from categories like “CMU and Me” and “Word for Yo Momma.” One question even asked the average hourly wages of Santa Clause impersonators ($11 for those who are wondering). Prizes were given to the members of the winning team and other participants. By Brittanee Jacobs. Photo by Shannon Endicott.

(Sophie) sticated Style Fashion by Sophie Wilensky What to Wear and How to Wear It ‘TIS THE HOLIDAY PARTY SEASON
FOR YOU BEAUTIFUL SNOW WOMEN: No matter what your holiday plans are this year, lookingfabulous is always a must. This 2011 winter season calls for so many wonderful pieces for both men and women it is definitely something to “HoHoHo” about. For all you lovely ladies, no matter what your occasion may be, wearing sequins, scoop necks, metallics and one shoulder pieces is the best way to add excellent holiday cheer to any party. Although adding drama to any outfit is always fun, staying subtle with the amount of sequins used per outfit is important. For those attending those sometimes dreaded holiday work parties, sequins can turn that dread into fun and fabulous by adding just the right amount of sparkle to any boring night. When wearing a scoop neck shirt, it’s important to pair this with a simple bottom and funky heel or boot. Wearing a pair of flashy earings matched with gaudy braclets and rings is appropriate, but wearing a necklace would be way too much due to the drama of the “scoop” neckline, the shirt already creates. Scoop neck dresses are great pieces to entertain or host in, due to the comfortablity that most create. Styling a scoop neck dress with a pair of sheer, black tights and a pair of simple stilettos, is the best way to achieve sleek and chique elegance all at once. For those ladies who like to add a little mystery to their holiday outfits, the one shoul‘Me

Thanksgiving break was a much needed leisure period for me. I got my head back on straight, and ate edible food. One day I even laid in bed the entire day and flipped back and forth between Law and Order: SVU and LMN (Lifetime Movie Network, duh.) My responsibility for the Thanksgiving meal is to make all the pies and desserts. This year I made four pumpkin, three pecan, caramel pecan rolls and a pumpkin gooey butter cake; but that’s beside the point. Why so many you ask? My dad and I are just that popular that we are expected to frequent multiple thanksgiving celebrations. Get on our level.
der dress or shirt is the way to go. They can easily be dressed up or down, and add the right amount of sexiness with out being overbearing. With your hair pushed behind the exposed shoulder, and a fun sparkly clip or flower holding your hair back, there is no doubt you will be the most watched women in the room with an outfit like this. For those of you not into wearing a dress this holiday season, metallic, loose baggy tanks and tees are definitely back in style and are great pieces to wear to those casual and funky holiday parties. They are easy to move around in and portray a casual, yet fun and flirty look. A trendy winter hat such as a subdued sequined beanie, or funky fidora, matched with a dark washed skinny jean and bold colored flat such as gold or red, will add the perfect spice to your choice of metallic top. Other options for not wearing a dress this holiday season range from wide legged jeans, high waisted jeans and all the way to black leather leggings paired with a tailored blazer or oversized silk blouse. As far as the perfect handbag goes, any fold-over clutch or wristlet in those funky quilted leather patterns, flashy sequins, metallic colors or the always elegant, patent leather would be perfect for any outfit listed above. Also, never forget pearls are always the perfect accessory as well as a beautiful smile. FOR YOU HANDSOME SNOW MEN. This year, you men luckily have it somewhat easy in
picking your perfect holiday outfit. Just remember the following five main styles and pieces when trying to look your best. These five styles and pieces would be, military style cardigans, sleek suits, skinny ties, flannels, and of course anything velvet, yes I just mentioned velvet. A Velvet black or maroon colored blazer with a dark jean and skinny tie is perfect for your best friends holiday party. This look won’t out do the host, but at the same time portrays a confidence that no one will be able to resist. A military style cardigan or flannel button down with any type of casual pant or jean works best for those chill, holiday house parties that consist of awesome board games, card games, delicious food and of course that awkward moment when two people meet under the mistletoe. Last but not least, the sleek black suit, with a skinny tie is the absolute stand out look for men this holiday season, and is as well, the best choice for those holiday work parties. Although the holidays can most of the time be stressful, never forget to laugh, take pictures, spend time with family and friends and most importantly, eat merrily! Happy Holidays y’all. Be safe and dress well! I’ll be watching for your outfits……as will Santa, and he will put you on his fashion police “naughty list”, so always be attentive to what you wearJ XOXO “Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight”
CMU SOUTH ENTRANCE following snow earlier this week.
Frat raises funds for national foundation CMU’s national fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, held its annual philanthropic event “TKE Playboy Review” on Thursday, Dec. 1, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at a Fayette sports bar, Hawgs ‘n Heifers. Members of CMU Greek organizations are admitted for $3, while non-Greeks must pay $5 to attend. The event raised $90 which will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. The event began with a dance competition between the sororities. Each sorority who participates creates a dance routine for sseverl of its members to perform. This year only one sorority chose to compete. By default, Sigma Pi
That’s what she said!
So as I was saying, like any mediocre house guest would, I bring a pie, or whatever. All in all, seven pies came and went. In the process of making those pies, I did a lot of thinking. For as long as I can remember, I knew one day I would become what you call a “career woman.” In my mind, being a career woman and a good cook did not go together. I found myself asking that question yet again, “What in the HECK was I thinking?” and my personal favorite as of recently, “Why did I think THAT was a good idea?” My mom was a career woman and a fabulous cook. Everybody always says their mom makes the best blah blah blah…no. There is no comparison. She wouldn’t get home until 6 p.m. and would immediately start preparing dinner. With such a strong woman as a role model in my life, why would I ever make the association that I had to choose between something like being good at cooking and
having a career? I guess I thought if you were good at those things (cooking, cleaning, crafts, babysitting) you were destined to be a Suzy, or a homemaker, and that was NOT in the cards for me. I am getting a law degree and hope to be an accomplished attorney and within good time establish myself not only in a large firm but as a partner as well. As far as crafts and babysitting goes, count me in. If everything I owned was covered in glitter, I still wouldn’t be satisfied. I’m more creative than your average doll and actually enjoy doing crafts. I took a pottery class this summer and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Oh, and babysitting. Since I do not wish to have an offspring of my own at this time, I just steal other people’s. Hide yo kids, hide yo wives, because apparently I just woke up with baby fever as of recently. Well, cute baby fever anyway. If anybody ever says all babies are
cute, they’re lying. There are definitely some ugly babies out there. I guess why I’m telling you all this is because I want it to make you realize something. And side note: no offense to all the dolls out there majoring in homemaking and husband hunting, though I believe all of my opinions are facts, they are nonetheless just opinions. What I realized is that you should never, ever hide your talents. I always read that as a woman, you are NEVER to be that girl that brings baked goods to work. Well, to hell with that because the day I brought a banana cupcake with honey-cinnamon frosting was the day I went from unpaid intern in the Governor’s office to paid employee. Coincidence? Probably not. Just because you’re good at different things doesn’t mean you’re a total weirdo. And, I’ve learned that there’s a time and place to toot your own horn. To quote my Grandpa Barton, “If you don’t toot your own

This year’s routine was performed by seniors Jessica Guerrant, Caitlin Essmyer, and Gabriela Hernandez and juniors Megan Davidson, Kayla Leeser, and Jessica Scobee. Sigma Pi Alpha received a specially-made trophy for the victory. The Sigma routine was followed up by a performance from the fall 2011 class of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

horn, it won’t get tooted.” So, yes my Thanksgiving break was a successful one. And, if you’ve never cooked for your parents or someone you care for, get on it. I’ve been told that cooking for someone is the best way to show your love and appreciation. Everyone needs nourishment, company and love. Nothing feels better than providing a good meal for your parents, or knowing that you totally kicked butt at work that week. So start showcasing your talents. We’re in college, you girls. Find out what you’re good at and perfect it. Whether you’re good at cooking, doing hair, babysitting or arguing (and of course I’m more than satisfactory in all four) at least you’re good at something. It’s not my fault you lost your fake leather jacket at the bar. P.S. If you enjoy my column, you would die over my twitter. Follow me, you girls. Now. @ megfaebar

Lady Eagles top Baker University for third win of this season
CMU’s women’s basketball team led wire to wire Wednesday, defeating Missouri Baptist University 82-68 for their third consecutive victory. The Lady Eagles flew out of the gate taking a quick 11-0 lead behind eight quick points from senior Sami Dunger (St. Louis, Mo.). CMU would lead by as many as 16 in the first half, but Missouri Baptist put together a 9-0 run to pull within seven. The score was 38-31 at the break. Seven points would be as close as the visiting Lady Spartans would get as CMU controlled the second half in a similar manner to the first. When MBU would threaten, the Lady Eagles would answer with a basket to clinch their first three-game winning streak since November 2004. Dunger led four Lady Eagles in double figures. Dunger poured in five three-pointers and finished with a game high of 25 points. Junior Raylyn Nuss (O’Fallon, Mo.) added four threepoint field goals of her own, scoring 16. Junior
Karli Abbey (Seneca, Kan.) recorded a doubledouble with 13 points and a game high of 12 rebounds. Sophomore Sammie Gathercole (Springfield, Mo.) had 12 points off the bench while Sophomore Nakia Robinson (St. Louis) dished out a game high of six assists. Senior Cat Kyle (Fayette) added nine boards. Missouri Baptist was led by Andrea Seabaugh with 17 points. “We’re really starting to find a groove,” James Arnold, CMU’s first-year head coach, shared. “We are playing much better together on both ends of the floor and the ladies are playing hard and with passion. If we continue to work hard and continue to grind to get better, we will continue to have great results.” CMU improves to 4-6 overall and remains 2-0 in conference play. The Lady Eagles play their second of five straight home games on Saturday against conference foe MidAmerica Nazarene University (6-5 & 1-1). Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

CMU men get first conference win of season over Bobcats The Central University Methodist men’s basketball team’s improved its shooting in the second half of Saturday’s game, and it brought them to a 63-54 road win over the Peru State Bobcats. The Eagles started the game on an 11-0 run and never trailed in the entire contest. Junior Melvin Tillman scored a basket late in the second half to give CMU a 28-7 lead, its biggest of the game. The Eagles led 30-22 at halftime. Peru State battled back in the second half and cut the CMU lead to three points at 48-45 with 6:29 to go in the game.

As others see it
Consider the following scenario: An innocent citizen is arrested in his own country by his own country’s military. He is not read his rights. He is not charged with any crime. He has neither trial nor ability to contact a lawyer. He is held indefinitely in prison. Could you guess in which country did the citizen live? China? You would be correct. North Korea? That would also be correct. What about the United States of America? After the 93-7 Senate passing of the most recent National Defense Authorization Act for 2012, this is now a possibility. In case you are confused, yes, the scenario which I provided will now go before the House of Representatives and because of the majority which passed the bill, regardless of whether President Obama vetoes the bill, it will still be made law. Keep in mind the bill does not blatantly state that someone with a dissenting opinion will be arrested by the military. However, the bill does state that the military does have the right to arrest any person living in the United States, even a citizen, if they are suspected as a terrorist of any kind. I’ll repeat that last part; any person in the United States may be arrested and detained by the military, without charge, trial, or legal counsel if they are SUSPECTED of being a terrorist. This unprecedented power may be familiar to any history student; Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, China, Congo, Iraq. It seems almost every nation the United States has stated was not demonstrating adequate human rights have given their military equal power, which we have denounced. This power was given to the military by a secretly drafted section of the National Defense Authorization Act, an annual bill designed to outline the government spending and operations. The authors of this bill, one time presidential candidate, Arizona Senator John McCain and Michigan Senator Carl Levin, defined the power to be used on the battlefield. The authors then went on to declare the battlefield to be worldwide, including the United States. Any enemy of the state during a time of war may be detained by the military until the end of the conflict involving the belligerents. A proposal by Senator Mark Udall which would have eliminated the amendment from the National Defense Authorization Act, however it was voted down 38-60. Both Senators McCaskill and Blunt voted against the Udall Amendment. They both backed the ability to indefinitely detain their constituents. This new power granted to the military has been condemned by many professionals outside of the Congress including the director of the CIA, the director of the FBI, the Secretary of Defense, the direc-
tor of national intelligence, and the head of the Justice Department’s national security division. In the wake of this news, there are several questions answered and several more which quickly present themselves in a seemingly endless cycle of doubt. It seems that the “War on Terror” is only a vehicle which continues to allow the powers that be to take away rights and fund a perpetual war, a war which the citizens must pay. It has certainly confirmed the theory that the Congress no longer answers to their constituents and instead acts in self interest. Our aristocratic leaders continue to preach the Gospel of the Republic to the world, a song which resounds here in the heartland by the hoi polloi, which makes us increasingly hypocrites. I consider myself a patriot. I have faith in this country. I have faith in my countrymen. As a patriot, however, I cannot put a single ounce of faith in our leadership. It is not Obama or Perry. It is the entire system which has rotted. As long as lobbyists are allowed existence, the people’s voice will never be heard over the power of money. It is the most basic economic law; people will act in their own self interest. We will have no leadership in this country until we make every politician receive minimum wage and no kickbacks, it will only be then that we as a nation see the rise of real leadership.

ELECTION ANALYSIS:
Who has the GOP edge? By TYLER J. WINN Collegian Reporter
The Republican Primary Carousel has rotated the leading candidate from Bachmann to Romney to Perry back to Romney to Cain back to Romney and now to Newt Gingrich. With new polls reflecting changes in the guard almost weekly it has been difficult to determine who truly has the edge in the Republican Primary race. Remember at this point in 2007, Rudy Giuliani led in many polls along with Romney and neither would go on to receive the Republican nomination. To make sense of these fluxes in the polls let’s determine the real pretenders and contenders in the Republican Primary race. First are the Pretenders. On Saturday, amid more allegations, Hermann Cain suspended his campaign and took himself out of the running. Senator Rick Santorum has never been in the top three of any of the straw polls and is too much of a newcomer for the national Republican constituency. Bachmann, who at one time had led the Iowa straw poll, has now fallen to fourth at 8 percent. Ron Paul is currently second in the Iowa straw poll at 18 percent but his foreign policies are just not in line with the majority of conservatives for him to receive the party’s nomination. That leaves us with only four serious contenders left to receive the Republican Party presiden-
P e rs p e c t i ve s
When we think of heroes, we often think of athletes. I know I do at least. Being the football fanatic that I am, I have a couple of heroes that play in the NFL, especially Minnesota Vikings players because that’s my favorite team (Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, etc.). However, my favorite current player isn’t a Viking. He was the first sophomore to win the Heisman trophy, which is given to the best college football player in a single season. He has two national championship rings on his hand. He’s even one of the few to both pass and run for more than 20 touchdowns in a single season. Maybe you’ve heard of him. In case you’re still stumped, I’m talking about Tim Tebow, the former quarterback for the Florida Gators. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos as the 23rd pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Lately Tebow has again come into the spotlight with his 6-1 record as the Bronco’s starting quarterback this season. But in spite of him winning games,criticism comes with it, only it doesn’t have to do with his football abilities—it’s his faith. A tweet from Tebow on Oct. 27 defines a new craze sweeping the country—Tebowing: “to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing
something completely different.” Tebow has even received criticism from NFL players. In response to Jake Plummer’s negative comments about the outward display of faith, Tebow made a wise comparison to marriage: “If you’re married and you have a wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife ‘I love you’ the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and everyopportunity? So any time I get an opportunity to tell [Christ] that I love [Him] or given an opportunity to shout [Him] out on national TV, I’m gonna take that opportunity.” Tebow’s openness about his relationship with Jesus Christ isn’t new. He’s been open about his faith since his time at the University of Florida. In his final game for the Gators, Tebow had this verse on his eye black, ready for the world to see: “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” – Ephesians 2:8-10 For a young man who has accomplished so much in the world,
tial nomination: Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, John Huntsman, and Newt Gingrich. Perry is currently fifth in the Iowa Straw Poll and seems to suffer a setback every time he talks, but his policies are in line with the conservative base, he has experience as governor, and he has the resources to stay in the race throughout the primaries. Mitt Romney has the money and resources for his campaign to go the long haul as well, even with recent setbacks in Iowa. Newt Gingrich has moved into the contender arena with recent surges in the polls and is first now in the Iowa straw poll at 25 percent. He now needs to work on his organizational structure to keep his status as a serious contender. Finally, John Huntsman is my dark-horse as a contender. He currently is last in the Iowa straw poll at only 2 percent but has better numbers in New Hampshire and is the only candidate who has not hurt himself with any allegations or policy mistakes. He has experience as governor of Utah and as ambassador to China. As the pretenders begin to fall out of the race don’t be surprised if Huntsman is able to take advantage of their followers. He has the money, resources, and values that will be vital through the next couple of months as the primaries begin to take place.
MY HERO…TIM TEBOW By Brittaanee Jacobs Editor-in-Chief
that is an important verse. Salvation is a gift, and so is faith. It has nothing to do with what we do, how many awards we have won, how much we have helped the poor. None of that can bring salvation. I have been watching Tebow closely for six years. I have watched too many times an athlete act like a complete fool, absorbed in the world and the minute something goes their way, then they thank God for allowing them to succeed. So when I became aware of Tebow and his outward profession of faith in Christ, I was doubtful. I had seen it before only to be disappointed. After winning his first Heisman, Tebow spoke to some inmates at a prison.“Everybody is telling me I’ve made it,” he told them. “They tell me, ‘Tim, you have success and you’ve made it.’ I’ve won the Heisman Trophy, so I’ve got it made, right? One day, people are going to forget about me. One day, people are going to forget about the Heisman Trophy, the jump pass, and thenational championship. One day, my championship ring is going to rust. There are only three things that are going to last forever: God, His word, and people.” A clip on YouTube shows Tebow speaking about the priorities in his life. One would think football
would be number one on the list. It’s actually number four: “Faith, family, academics, and football.” When I read the Armor of God in Ephesians 6, I immediately think of football. In football, helmets protect the head; shoulder pads protect the chest and shoulders; hip, thigh, and knee pads protect the legs; andfinally, cleats protect the feet. While this equipment provides players with physical protection, we, as Christian “warriors” need other protection as well. Ephesians tells us just as players need protection, we Christians need armor to protect us from the outside forces that wish to harm us. During football games, players get pounded constantly, and without the protective armor, their bodies wouldn’t be able to take the abuse. The same can be said for our spiritual lives. Satan is constantly pounding us with temptations. Therefore, we need the armor of God to protect us and give us the strength to stand tall when the world around us is falling apart. Today, as Christians, let’s put on the armor of God so we can stand up for Him and be that Christ-like example for our teammates and the entire world to see.

What’s on your iPod?
Major honor to Central VP Julee Sherman Awards are wonderful things, but when they come from one’s professional peers — as was the case for CMU’s Julee Sherman — they definitely carry special significance. Sherman, vice president for finance and administration, has received the 2011 President’s Award by the Central Association of College and University Business Officers (CACUBO). “It’s an honor,” Sherman admitted. “I know many others (in CACUBO) are every bit as deserving. The biggest thing is that it’s from your peers, people who work just as hard as you do both for their institution and for CACUBO.” She received CACUBO’s citation at the group’s annual conference held recently in Omaha. CACUBO is an organization of professionals from colleges and universities of all sizes. An estimated 500 attended the event.
